Captain Hook is a metaphor for growing up and eventually dying of old age.
Well, I guess that's all I need to write, that should handle all the criticisms against Steven Spielberg's Hook, right?
Frequently a target of ridicule, charged with having a syrupy message and lackluster action, Hook features Robin Williams as a middle-aged, paunchy attorney Peter Banning who's forgotten how to fly and even how to play simple games. Dustin Hoffman plays the titular Hook with charisma, flair and high energy. Bob Hoskins' Smee is the perfect lovable dolt, and Julia Roberts doesn't ruin the film by being in it, so that's a big plus.
Spielberg and his scribes ask the question: What if Peter Pan grew up? The answer is that the boy who feared the death that followed growing old became the man who feared death, period. That's the whole premise of the Peter and Wendy stories: Pan's refusal to grow up reflected Barrie's own sadness and inability to fight the tides of time. Banning is obsessed with comfort and safety, attempting to build as many barricades against a dangerous world as possible: bars on the windows, a cell phone at all times, fear of flying, and as much wealth as he can acquire.
In the original stories, Captain Hook represented responsibility and growing up and was typically played by the actor who doubled as the stern George Darling, Wendy's father. Just as Wendy's struggles with her father arose from the pressures he applied to her to leave behind her childhood and grow up, Peter Pan battled Hook in a symbolic representation of Wendy's childhood beating back the tendrils of age that will eventually claim us all.
Because Peter willingly surrenders himself to old age in Hook, the Captain has lost his purpose. Peter has become a corporate marauder, a stern father, and fears the ticking of the clock. He has become Captain Hook, something the original and egotistical Hook cannot bear. Hook is despondent, listless and suicidal at the thought of his lone rival essentially changing allegiances and joining his side. Smee's solution to this is rather ingenious.
Smee suggests that Hook attempt to win over the Banning children. The younger Maggie resists with little effort because she still has the spark of childhood within her. Jack, on the other hand, has already started to have that spark snuffed by his father, Peter Pan of all people, and so when faced with the "logical" and "truthful" arguments of Captain Hook he finds himself tempted. By tapping into the boy's latent desire for a father figure to love and accept him (a common theme in Spielberg films), Hook has more success seducing the boy into adulthood than Peter ever had in attempting to force his son to "grow up."
I was a child when the film came out. Re-watching it now as a father myself, I felt great forceful impact on my soul as I realized the parallels between my own life and Peter Banning. I think we all fear getting old, and I swore that I'd be a good parent. Unfortunately, I find myself snapping at my own children for interrupting those moments I think are so terribly important, but in ten years won't matter. Moira makes an excellent point - "We have a few special years with our children, when they're the ones that want us around. After that you're going to be running after them for a bit of attention." Any film that makes me want to be a better parent can't be as bad as they say.
This well-crafted, well-acted film is full of much deeper and darker meaning than the dimwitted critics of 1991 gave it credit for having, which isn't surprising as film critics rarely are of much use to anybody and almost never bother looking for deeper meaning in films. Hook is capable of achieving emotional highs and lows, contrasting silly "childish" moments with sad and even depressing turns.
The film was originally intended as a stage musical and a few of the original songs make their way in, most notably the touching "When You're Alone." John Williams score is amazing as it starts with a tinkling piano hammering out the accompaniment for Maggie's school musical then goes right into a contemporary easy-listening piece during as Peter's meeting conflicts with Jack's big game. Of course, as the adventure unfolds that's all left behind for the typical sweeping cinematic music we have come to expect from the maestro behind some of the greatest soundtracks in film history.
The set designs are colorful and gorgeous, the costumes are excellent, and the visual effects are mostly seamless. Spielberg is never out of his element when doing a special effects adventure film. All scenes of action are well-paced and technically sound, but they're really window-dressing for the bigger themes of the film.
For those reading at some point in the distant future, my decision to review this film came on the heels of the announcement of Robin Williams' untimely death, and I believe this, like many of Williams' roles, reflected something deep and painful within the man whose humor and wit masked his crushing battle with depression and chemical dependency. It fills me with great sadness to know that somebody who brightened and touched so many lives could never find a source of light that would push out the darkness permanently.
If you are dealing with depression or suicidal thoughts, please know that there are people who want to help.
Second star to the right, Robin, but you already knew that.

Last night on "Duck Dynasty" they introduced two new characters. They were Rebecca Robertson and John-David Owen. On Jan. 16, Starcasm shared some great information about John-David including his wife, degree, and more.
John-David has a degree in finance from University of Louisiana. Back in 2010, he got married to Alyson Watson. She is adorable and the two look happy together. In older pictures, he doesn't have a beard at all and is really clean cute. They are still married and she is supporting him on the show. She went to Twitter last night saying, "The secret is out! Never thought I would be laughing at my husband on TV! So very proud of him!"
He does have a Twitter account. In the picture on this page, he is graduating from college and the beard was already there at that point. He was tweeting away with his fans last night and seems to be enjoying the ride on the show.

New "The Real Housewives of New Jersey" cast member Amber Marchese has given a hint on the alliances that viewers will see on the current sixth season. As reported by All About The Real Housewives on Tuesday, July 15, Amber, while at the show's premiere party on Sunday, revealed which cast members she became closest to during filming.
Amber said that she became very close to Teresa Giudice and Dina Manzo. Amber's response indicates that Teresa and Dina, as veteran housewives, likely took her under their wings. Teresa has been on the show since the very first season while Dina has made a splashy return after being away for three seasons.
Amber also revealed why she decided to join the show. She said that she viewed being on the show as the opportunity of a lifetime. She also said that her experience as a breast cancer survivor helped in her decision because she wants to use the platform to increase breast cancer awareness.
Amber's naming of Teresa and Dina as her closest co-stars isn't that surprising since just a few days prior to the premiere, when she did an interview with OK! Magazine about the show, she sat alongside Teresa and Dina and admitted that she "lost friendships" while filming the season. It's likely that her "lost friendships" didn't involve Teresa and Dina since they didn't have a negative reaction to what Amber said.
Rather, Amber's lost friendships likely involves Melissa Gorga, Nicole Napolitano and/or Teresa Aprea. Instead of sitting with Amber, Teresa and Dina, Melissa, Nicole and Teresa A. did their own separate interview.
The sixth season of "The Real Housewives of New Jersey" premiered on Sunday, July 13. The premiere episode opened with Melissa Gorga calling Teresa Giudice to make sure that she's okay considering her and Joe Gorga's legal troubles. It then reintroduced Dina Manzo and introduced twins Nicole Napolitano and Teresa Aprea to viewers. Despite being only the first episode, there was already a hint of a feud brewing when Amber confronted Melissa about not contacting her about her breast cancer, something which Melissa denies.

TC TO JANE WELSH CARLYLE ; 13 January 1848; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18480113-TC-JWC-01; CL 22: 201-203
Alverstoke, Thursday 13 jany, 1848—
O, my Dear, I hope you are a little better today up, and able to look about you,—better off, in short, than I am; unslept, dyspeptic, bewildered; unable (for the moment) to procure a pen; and therefore writing (for the time is short) with pencil. Nay here is James1 at last come up with a kind of pen; let me employ the few moments I can count on, and use that.
I got into the railway &c all right; and got along well except that it grew ever colder in spite of all I could wrap, and the flurry of the morning, I felt, had hurt me. Reading was but little available. I sat looking out into the dim grey fields in silence. The stage after Winchester, our Coach-door opened, and there with a great heap of packages came—Richd Milnes. The same foolish social talking mortal as ever: he had been at the Grange; and then also at Lord Palmerston's,2 from which latter place he was now coming.— The "open carriage" stood waiting at the Station; Milnes's "impudence" (cool of the evening) laid on "luggage," this time, enough and to spare! My cigar was not done, when we arrived here; found Mr Baring and the Lady sitting at a baddish fire,—very glad to see us;—and after a little while it was time to go and dress, dinner being at 6. I already felt flurried as I say, and hurt; the room was cold for my new dress, I had not a "pleasant" evening: but the sticking-place was the night! Ach Gott! Dearest, why do I complain to poor Thee; confined to thy own bed at present! Well I will not complain: only if you had been strong, I would have told you how very weak and wretched I was. Some time about 3, I think, I got asleep (after bathing &c); woke again some time after 5, went down out of doors to smoke,—had slept about 3 minutes more, when James with his brushed clothes &c started me up again, and there it ended. That is my history: an excuse at least for incoherent writing;— In fact, if it were not for my own consolation (for I know thou lovest me, Goodykin in spite of all thy harshnesses and distrusts) I think I need not have written at all. It seemed to me last light with triple and tenfold emphasis, what it has all along seemed, that I had been much better in my own bed at Chelsea than in this one!—
I am in the room I had last year; very dry, and the house all full of hot air; but the window will not go up! The hot air had a sickly stove-smell, very disagreeable in the night. The other room is reserved for you, your old one, for it is still taken for granted that you are to come; and Lady Harriet says she has written to you to that effect this morning (to arrive tonight):—and sure enough if you do not come, my stay here is like to be but brief. However, I will by no means advise, today at least,—nor till I am better. I am thankful a thousand times you took that illness not here but in your own shop; it would have driven you crazy the confused element we have here, had you arrived in it sick!—
Nobody but Milnes here, who is loose-flowing, sophistic, paradoxical, utterly idle, as ever. All alas is idle, and I think is like to be! The Lady seems herself a little unwell; is in an inferior key of spirits; played a great deal, last night, Milnes occasionally singing. I begged for Coolun;3 could not get it. Good Mr Baring has the old serenity of farnientism [delightful idleness] quite unimpaired. Henry Taylor, it would seem, is expected to come; and, very shortly ly both the Charterises:4 note that!— — But there is Milnes shout-shouting, at the bottom of the stairs: we are to go to Richardson's5 or I know not where. More tomorrow;—today it is over. I ought to have written to my Mother too, but cannot.
I hope Jack will send me good news of you tomorrow.— No Letters (thank Heaven) came to me today; there lay one from Craik waiting me, with that clipping from the Athenaeum.6 Forster has sent no "proof":7 tant mieux [so much the better]. My regards to John, and bid him write, were it only a word.
Take care of thyself, take care; and get well again shortly! Ever yours;—not always so miserable as just now!
T. Carlyle

Until our souls are broken of their own strength through the Cross, they will continue to influence, lead, and direct us. Once our souls are submitted to the Cross, however, and our natural strength broken, we'll be able to serve God as He desi
Jesus says that in order to live the abundant Life, we must be willing to surrender anything and everything that stands in the way of God's Spirit working freely through us.
What exactly is a true disciple of Christ? The answer is: A true disciple has "a lifestyle alongside his belief."
Jesus describes both a true disciple and a nominal believer in His story or narrative about the "faithful and wise servants" in Matthew 24:42–51.
Faith is the means by which God's divine power can work in our lives. Hebrews 11:6 tells us that without faith it is impossible to please God.
Faith is the principle by which we obtain Christ's Life and the means to God's Power. It's the foundation of our walk with the Lord. But, obedience and trust are the principles by which we live that "faith" out.
The real test of faith comes when we can trust God even in the depths of our trials, even before the victory is realized and even before the promises are fulfilled.
I hope and pray that you had a very blessed Holiday Season. Truly, even with all that's going on in many of our personal lives, and all that's happening in our country, we still have so much to be thankful for.
One of the greatest proofs that we are, indeed, partakers of Christ's Life is that we will be living and sharing His Agape Love to all we come in contact with.
Overcomers are those victorious ones who have learned how to master the flesh, prevail over the world and conquer the devil only through Christ's Life in them.
Knowing how to make "faith choices" is saving my life. I trust Him in all of this. That's easy to say, but "walking that out" is what I need to do right now.
When at the depths of a trial, if we can respond in such a way that the situation pushes us into God's presence, then we can expect to experience the joy of the Lord in spite of our circumstances.

As November brings cold, dark cycling conditions to Britain, there's no better time to get out the maps and start dreaming up adventures for next year. How about 20,000 miles across Africa? That's a journey recently completed by Pete Gostelow. After crossing the Sahara, the Congo and the Namibian badlands, will Pete survive the mean streets of south London in a rolling interview? This is the first of a two-part feature.

Across Africa by Bike (part one)
Podcast special: Lionel Birnie's People's Grand Tour
On the eve of the summer edition of the People's Grand Tour, Jack goes for a spin around the back lanes of rural Hertfordshire with cycling journalist Lionel Birnie, a regular guest on The Bike Show, who writes about professional bike racing for the Sunday Times and Cycle Sport magazine. The People's Grand Tour is open to anyone willing to commit to riding at least ten days over a 23 day period, starting this Saturday 11 August. It's free to enter and a great way of increasing the amount of riding you're doing.
To Coventry: Birthplace of the Bicycle
Coventry has a very good claim to be the birthplace of the modern bicycle, the "Rover Safety" invented in the 1880s by John Kemp Starley, one of the city's many bicycle makers. Someone very happy to make that claim is Steve Bagley, Head of Collections at the Coventry Transport Museum. We go for a ride around the city and a trip back in time.

I am getting ready to launch a site I've been working on, and am talking to some bloggers. It's planned to go live next week and press will write about it when it does.
But the thing is, this is my first time launching something that I've coded myself. I've founded a startup before but my role wasn't coding then. I taught myself to code to build this. I know the typical traffic pattern for getting covered on large blogs is they bring you loads of people and then the traffic dies down the next day.
I'm afraid of this spike in traffic since this is my first time and I don't know what to expect. I don't want to be one of those websites that get covered and goes down. So far I've been testing it with a small number of people and that didn't cause any problems. I d
The specs are as follows:
A. Using Heroku free hosting (1 dyno)
B. The service is a web app, built with Ruby on Rails.
C. The UI consists of:
- Main page: a feed where you follow people and tags. Didn't do much query optimization.
- Content page: entirely utilizes external APIs to serve content. No content is served from my server except for small sized metadata.
Can someone provide advice on something like this? How many dynos should I be running? How do I know when I need to expand? What should I expect and how can I prepare? Thank you!

Save a Child's Heart
- Save a Child's Heart exists to improve the quality of pediatric cardiac care for children from developing countries. The organization was founded by Dr. Amram Cohen who, after serving 20 years with the U.S. Army as a heart surgeon, decided to devote his life to saving children. In 1995, he began Save a Child's Heart, and by early 2010, the organization had saved the lives of more than 2,400 children around the world.
In the Spotlight from the Start
- Save a Child's Heart has been raising funds through eBay for Charity since 2007 when a supporter expressed a desire to hold an auction for the organization's benefit. Since registering with MissionFish, Save a Child's Heart has participated in Spotlight on Healthy Hearts several times. Because of their involvement, they have been featured in Give at Checkout three times where eBay buyers donated nearly $40,000.
- "The money enabled us to save the lives of four children who would have died without this unexpected support," says David Litwack, executive director of Save a Child's Heart Foundation U.S. "Whenever we learn about a new eBay for Charity program we try to get involved with it, because we've found over time that the programs are well thought out and that they work."
Reaching Out Pays Off
- When eBay for Charity held a contest to drive adoption of the My Favorite Nonprofit tool, Save a Child's Heart actively encouraged their supporters to add them as a favorite. Social media played a key factor in their promotions. "We have no marketing or publicity budget, but we do have thousands of people in our Facebook fan and cause base," said Litwack. "So we're using website and email messaging to engage our supporters."
- And it seems to be working.
- "During the campaign, there was a tremendous increase in the number of Community Sellers and listings," said Litwack. "There were about 100 items on sale for us before the campaign. Once it launched, we shot up to more than 700." At the end of the campaign, Save a Child's Heart was one of the top 5 favorite nonprofits on eBay. "A number of buyers who found us on eBay for Charity and at eBay checkout have now become regular donors," says Litwack.
- In order to encourage these eBay donors to take the next step and continue to support their cause, Save a Child's Heart makes sure to stay in touch. They regularly send their eBay community thank you e-mails, eNewsletters, and any other publications they would send to their usual donor base.
Only the Beginning
- Even though about 5 percent of Save a Child's Heart's funding comes through eBay for Charity, the organization feels that it's just getting started with the program. The eBay for Charity widget is displayed on the organization's homepage, linking to its About My Nonprofit page where eBay users can buy, sell, donate and add Save a Child's Heart as their favorite nonprofit. They have also uploaded a descriptive and compelling tag line in their MissionFish account to encourage buyers to donate in checkout. And, says Litwack, "We're hoping to get involved with celebrity and event listings on eBay for Charity sometime soon."
- For Save a Child's Heart, the best part of eBay for Charity is the exposure and funds raised. According to Litwack, "eBay for Charity gives us more visibility and exposure than we have ever had in our history."

The statin family of drugs are well-established inhibitors of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA reductase and are used clinically in the control of hypercholesterolemia. Recent evidence, from ourselves and others, shows that statins can also trigger tumor-specific apoptosis by blocking protein geranylgeranylation. We and others have proposed that statins disrupt localization and function of geranylgeranylated proteins responsible for activating signal transduction pathways essential for the growth and/or survival of transformed cells. To explore this further, we have investigated whether the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling cascades play a role in regulating statin-induced apoptosis. Cells derived from acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) are used as our model system. We show that p38 and c-Jun NH2-terminal kinase/stress-activated kinase MAPK pathways are not altered during lovastatin-induced apoptosis. By contrast, exposure of primary and established AML cells to statins results in significant disruption of basal extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) 1/2 phosphorylation. Addition of geranylgeranyl PPi reverses statin-induced loss of ERK1/2 phosphorylation and apoptosis. By establishing and evaluating the inducible Raf-1:ER system in AML cells, we show that constitutive activation of the Raf/MAPK kinase (MEK)/ERK pathway significantly represses but does not completely block lovastatin-induced apoptosis. Our results strongly suggest statins trigger apoptosis by regulating several signaling pathways, including the Raf/MEK/ERK pathway. Indeed, down-regulation of the Raf/MEK/ERK pathway potentiates statin-induced apoptosis because exposure to the MEK1 inhibitor PD98059 sensitizes AML cells to low, physiologically achievable concentrations of lovastatin. Our study suggests that lovastatin, alone or in combination with a MEK1 inhibitor, may represent a new and immediately available therapeutic approach to combat tumors with activated ERK1/2, such as AML.

The buttons above constitute "the show," plus the little bit of text at the bottom of this page. Here's what you'll find attached to each button:
This game is my magnum opus. I've been working on new editions, variants, articles, etc. for this game since 1994 and continue to do so to this day. Quite simply, I've dedicated a portion of my life to making the board wargame I always wanted and this web site is my shrine to it. You can get there either by clicking on the box cover or the second button at the top.
The third button provides my additional two cents regarding A House Divided. I did the additional design work for the 2nd edition of the game, and have added some player aid sheets and additional optional rules for both it and the 3rd edition of the game (a beautiful 'Euro' version of this classic published in 2002 by Phalanx).
The fifth button takes you to my Modern Naval Battles Card Game archives. This is another game that I developed and co-designed along with Dan Verssen and Rodger B. MacGowan. Although the boxed game version is out-of-print, there is good news. Dan, Rodger, and I have agreed to put the game up on the internet as a free download in a 'cleaned up' version dubbed Cold War Naval Battles. That's right, this classic is now be your for downloading, printing, and playing. Enjoy!
I've written an opus on strategy for the Hasbro edition of Cosmic Encounter that includes a section of fascinating game trivia.
Oh, and I just found where a 10-player Junta variant I wrote for The V.I.P. of Gaming magazine has been posted on the internet. To read it, click here.
Tomorrow the World is just a board game that I really enjoyed. Enough so that I did an article with variants on it, posted here for your gaming pleasure.
And, yes, I was the guy who originally conceived Interplay's Star Trek: Starfleet Command computer game. Combining Star Fleet Battles with a computer game and creating a random campaign game generator (as I did in Totaler Krieg!) were my ideas and I was the producer who launched this project before being laid off from Interplay. Don't believe me? Click here.
Armada 2525
I acquired a "final" build of Armada 2525 from the designer, R. T. Smith, while I was working on an article about this game for Computer Gaming World magazine in 1991. Interstel, the publisher, never got this patch out before their company collapsed. If you already have a game, click here for a .zip file containing the revised executable program (and just the revised executable program -- not the entire program; don't even go there). I can't remember what it "fixes" anymore (but there are several little tweaks that experienced players will notice)

Nick Proschwitz scored twice, including a late equaliser, as Barnsley drew 2-2 at local rivals Doncaster Rovers on Saturday.
The German made it three goals in four games during his loan from Hull when he fired in on 89 minutes after great work from strike partner Chris O'Grady.
Proschwitz put the Reds ahead on 27 minutes after a mistake by Rovers' 'keeper Sam Johnstone but an error by Barnsley stopper Luke Steele allowed the hosts back in the game in first half stoppage time through James Coppinger who then got a second via a big deflection on 56 minutes.
There was plenty of debate over the performance of referee Andy D'urso who did not give Rovers a penalty when their former player Martin Woods felled James Husband in the box. Martin Cranie then had a goal ruled out after heading in a Woods corner. Both those incidents were at 1-0.
Steele made some good saves from long-range shots but struggled to catch any crosses and Jordan Bowery should have punished at least two of his errors.
Doncaster played the better football but Barnsley also had chances as Johnstone tipped over a Proschwitz shot then Peter Ramage hit the bar with a powerful header.
Danny Wilson's men are still second-bottom in the Championship, eight points adrift of safety although they have two games in hand on the sides just above the bottom three.

Spark Pages
Monday, July 15, 2013
Today I'm going to discuss Spark Pages and how to put one together nicely.
When you 'edit your sparkpage' there are many things you can do.
First off, you can change the colors. How fun is that! When you decide to change the colors, you also need to think about your text against your page background. I keep coming across more and more pages that changed the background color, but not the text. If the background color is dark, then the text needs to be lightened up. If you'll notice mine today, I have a deep red background, so I had to change the text to yellow so I could read the words. Had I left the text as black (which is what it starts out as) you would have a hard time reading my words on my Info page, especially if you're color blind, as red and black are the same when you turn it to grayscale. I'm blind as a bat, so I need to be able to read the words easily. Deep purples would go well with yellow, dark blues with orange, black likes white, keep on clicking on colors until you can read your text easily. In grayscale red=black, blue=gray and yellow=white, everything else is a shade of gray.
In the background (the part around the sides of your page) you can either pick another fun color or stick a picture back there. The best pictures are ones you've taken yourself. If you want to use one off the internet, make sure it's a free to use picture so you don't get in legal trouble for using it, you never know who is going to turn you in for using random pictures. My current background is a salad I made from my garden last year.
You can add pictures to your page. I happen to be using the pictures from my weight loss journey. There's my first one, my "after shot" and my most recent one promoting the SparkShirt I just got and thought was funny. Once again, if you're going to upload random pictures, make sure it's from a free to use site. You can also stick Spark Pictures on your page. When it asks if you want to stick pictures on your front page from your gallery or in smaller print directly under those words you can also pick from the Spark Success Gallery. There are X pounds or Kg lost pictures, 1-4 pants sizes lost pictures, and pictures telling us why you're here like Creating a Healthier Me type sayings.
Have fun with pictures! I suggest the shrinking you like mine, but you can also put photos that inspire you or even your growing garden, whatever makes your page feel like inspiring you.
You can share many things with us, your page, your favorites, your food tracker, your fitness tracker, your activity feed, or none of them at all if you wish. You can check them up in the top right corner of your edit page.
Also in that corner, you can click a box allowing you to get an email every time you get a comment or a goodie, which I think is important so you know there is activity on your page, especially if you stop coming to this site for a while.
You can also allow comments on your page. This may or may not be for you. People can still get ahold of you through SparkMail if you don't want anyone talking on your page.
Add a bunch of stuff about yourself. There are several areas where you can tell us about yourself. You can change the title to the top of your page, then tell us about yourself and why you're here. The side allows you to tell us how you're getting to the end and goals along the way. You can tell us a little more about yourself and a little extra you feel like sharing. You can tell us as much or a little as you'd like.
Want more friends to find you? While you're editing your page, add some info, which is not displayed on your page, but is used for people similar to you to be able to find you easier. They can find you by location (within 20 miles), pounds to lose, gender, age, and goals based on the keywords you put in the box there. When you put those in and check them, it makes it easier for people to find your page by those options.
You can add friends or stick to yourself. I suggest adding friends, if it weren't for my friends I probably wouldn't still be here. They're supportive. I like them and I have gotten close to a few of them. I think that if I didn't have friends here, I would have given up many pounds ago and still be over 200 pounds. When you edit your SparkPage, you can rearrange them too. Perhaps you have a family member or a real life friend here, go ahead and put them at the top of your list so you can click them easily.
When you join Teams, they are listed like your friends. Go ahead and shift the more important ones to the top, the first 6 are shown at all times.
There is this thing called a Ticker. It can show your weight and your goal (this I find is the most popular one) or your fitness minutes or even your SparkPoints. It shows up on both your SparkPage and anyplace you comment in teams. It's a fun little way to show your progress. I had it on my weight for the longest time, but now I'm focusing more on my fitness minutes, I have it set high because my fitbit gives me more minutes than just entering my actual exercise manually.
Don't forget, you can blog! You can do it daily, weekly, monthly or never! It's up to you. You can share your deepest thoughts or simply put your weight and goals for the month there. You can vent about something stupid that happened to you or blog about a joy that happened! It's your blog, so don't let a random comment stop you from blogging again. I find that most people are supportive here and that the ones that disagree usually either just don't comment or do it with nice enough words that shouldn't make you upset.
Finally, there's the status update. You only have so many spaces for your letters, so make it fairly brief when you have a random shout out there. It can be a simple as a I Lost It! or as complex as a I Won't Be On For A While Because Of A Death. This is shared with your friends in the friend feed on the side as well as on your info page and your feed. You can delete it from your feed if you ever feel the need to.
There's a lot you can do with your page. Do as much as you'd like with it. Share it with us if you'd like or keep it to yourself if you wish. It's your page.

Thanks for the information fellow "blind as a bat". I wish you could tell the folks at some of the magazines I get that pale lemon on gray print is impossible for some of us to read as are some of the fancier fonts. Thanks for the tips. Now when I find sometime to play with my page it may have a new look.

What an informative blog. Thank you. I often had questions and asked questions with the help button one at a time. You have answered so many of mine and I have been on Spark for a few years. I feel we can always learn something new. I have never seen such a supportive, motivating group of people as I see on Spark people. I am so thankful to have found everyone here.
Good luck with your Spark journey.

"We played ok tonight," MV coach Caleb Zelencik said. "The girls struggled a little on and around the greens. We couldn't get many balls to stick, and they putted slower than what we've seen. I was pleased with how Briley and Maeve played tonight. Their games are starting to click some, so it'll be fun to see how they play next week."
Hailey Carlton (48) and Ryley Burkhart (52) paced the Royals.

A Room of One's Own
by Virginia Woolf
Analysis: Steaminess Rating
Exactly how steamy is this story?
This isn't exactly a book about Mary Beton's amorous adventures. But there is a bit of sex in this book, especially if you read carefully. Mary Beton talks a bit about overt sex scenes in literature when she's critiquing "Mr. A.," a novelist. His matter-of-fact scenes are "somehow dull. Shakespeare's indecency uproots a thousand other things in one's mind, and is far from being dull" (6.4). So, for Mary, a good sex scene has to be, well, fecund.
Which is exactly what the book's only "sex scene" is. We put the phrase in quotation marks because it's not a literal sex scene; it's a metaphor about the male and female parts of a writer's mind coming together to produce literature (6.9). But it's hot.

I have written these tips for beginners who are enjoying the game and wanting to take it to the next level. It's important to note that I am no pro. At the time of writing this I would most likely put myself at the division 2 /division 3 level. However, this advice is aimed at new players and I believe that at the least it will promote some outside the square thinking for our up and coming players.
1, Weapon selection:
Mastering any particular weapon in Quakelive includes knowing when NOT to use it. Think logically about what weapon prioritises in any given situation. Factors that will contribute to this decision are position and path and the hit points of both you and your enemy.
Rocket Launcher for close fights, Lightning Gun for medium range fights and rail gun for long range fights. Plasma can be useful for all three but is hard to master, grenade launcher is good to lock down door ways or check on opponent position, and mg can be very handy in range situations if you don't have a railgun to take off a few extra hitpoints
2, Think outside the box:
Solid foundations alone can win you the game. But throwing a curve ball every now and then can win you the game. But remember that it's about assessing risk.
Foundations like timing obviously have a massive impact on the game, it is an skill in itself to be able to keep track of the time on armors/powerups/mega around the map. Thinking outside the box can be important as well, ie: if my opponent has quad in a team death match and I hide, then how can he take advantage of having a quad damage with 0 kills. Another example if I have the flag and always go the same way it can get quickly predictable, changing flag routes often in a match can be tricky for your opponents to keep track of
3, Play people better than you:
Don't be afraid to lose. Remember that Quakelive is amongst the most competitive online games in existence today. There is always someone better than you - Take advantage of this. Playing just above your skill level is the best way to improve.
Patience, patience, patience is what it takes for you to get better, especially at dueling. But for modes like clan arena, ctf, tdm it will just come from practicing, watching better players, more practicing and then a little bit of self analyzing.
4, Conscious thought:
When practicing. Before each game you should keep one or two practice objectives in mind. Simple examples could be weapon specific objectives like effective use of plasma bending when playing defensive or timing a particular item. After a match make a mental note about what worked and what didn't etc.
It is a great skill professionals and skilled players have to be able to adapt in their mind through-out a game what's working, and what's not. You won't be able to do it straight off the bat, but when a situation becomes familiar ie: the match before your enemy kept taking your powerup in ctf, quickly think what you could do to prevent it or cut them down from doing it so often.
5, Teach someone else:
You will be surprised how much you learn and how much you already know if you introduce someone new to the game and get them started by teaching them how to play. Putting things into words and explaining your knowledge of the game, no matter how much experience you actually have can help you gain a better understanding of the game. You will be surprised once you start talking just how much you do know and you will most likely wind up teaching yourself something. This also helps you to identify a few flaws in your game.
The other great thing about this is that teaching your friends to play not only contributes to our quake community but enables you to enjoy the game with your buddies. Let's face it, we all invest a fair amount of time into this hobby/sport and without a new players we cannot guarantee that we will be able enjoy the benefits of the time we have all spent playing this great game.
6, Armor shards and health bubbles:
Don't ignore armor shards or +5 bubbles. Especially when your opponent has control of the map. Shards and bubbles are your friend. usually found in strings of 4 or 5, The 25 Armour or health boost can always make a difference and it's a good habbit to get into.
7, Calm down:
Chill out before the game. Realise that you are either going to win or lose. If you lose, you lose. If you win, you win. This sounds simple but entering a game with this mindset can reduce a lot of pressure and make the game a lot easier. Not to mention more enjoyable. Some players have a pre-game routine before they play to help them get in the right mind space. This could be something as simple as a few deep breaths or washing your hands in warm water.
Last but not least. In my opinion the most important tip of all...
8, The bigger picture:
A good player must understand that decisions made both inside AND outside of the game have a huge impact on your progression and your ability to perform to your potential.
Regular sleep patterns, reasonable diet, making sure you get enough exercise - All of these things have a HUGE impact on any athlete. You will find that you are surprised what you are capable of when you apply some solid basic life style foundations.
I hope that these tips will get all you new players thinking about how you can step your game up. Now go forth and conquer And remember to have fun!

How To Make A Super Brochure
Or Mailing Piece
by Tom Egelhoff
1. Put your selling message on the cover.
This is the most important rule of all and, curiously, one that is little followed. The cover of a brochure works like a headline of a print ad. Four out of five people never get beyond it. If you depend on the inside pages to make a sale, you are wasting 80% of your money.
2. Insist on a "family resemblance" with your advertising. Develop a theme for your marketing plan and carry it throughout your ad campaign.
3. Use a single illustration on the cover. Research suggests that one large illustration is more effective than several small ones. Illustrations with story appeal that involve the reader add impact.
4. Select pictures that tell a story. The right photographs can often express your positioning better than words.
5. Always caption photographs. Next to the cover, captions are the best-read element of any brochure.
6. Don't be afraid of long copy. If people have bothered to write or express an interest in your brochure, they are prospects for the product or service you are selling. Tell them everything they need to know.
7. Spotlight the important facts. Remember that one of the most frequent criticisms of brochures in general is that they "do not give enough facts." Tell consumers what is included, what are the costs, what are the hours. Graphic devices can help to spotlight important information.
8. Use photo's instead of drawings. Research says that photographs increase recall 26% over drawings. Photographs suggest reality in the readers mind.
9. Make your brochure worth keeping. Give your piece longer life, and longer selling power, by encouraging the consumer to keep it handy.
10. Give your product a first-class ticket. In many cases, the brochure is your product; the "salesperson" who represents you to the customer. Make it as good as your finances will allow.
11. Ask for the order. What action do you want the reader to take? Write, call, return a card? Every piece of literature must contain a clear call to action.

Watching Atlanta's CONVOY is like being in the glory days of Gilley's where everybody can be an urban cowboy or cowgirl for a night. Now the schtiky-retro-honky-tonk band has just announced they are now a part of the PleaseRock family, the franchise responsible for the ever so popular Yacht Rock Revue. Frontman Chris Cox explains how he made it all happen in a recent post on facebook:
"Unless you've been living under a rock for the past 5 to 6 years you've heard of the Yacht Rock Revue. I watched them grow from performing for a crowd of 40 people on a Tuesday night in a basement club to playing Chastain amphitheater with the original artists who wrote the songs that helped get them where they are now. One night feeling depressed and tired of watching my friend Mark Dannells succeed at playing music for a living while I sat idle I decided I would get drunk and brainstorm a business model that could do the same for me. After polishing off half a bottle of cheap whiskey I realized that Convoy was everything they weren't doing from the same eras and that I was surrounded by the perfect demographic that would appreciate this band for hundreds and hundreds of miles east, west, north and south. After two failed attempts to get it off the ground and several lineup changes I finally found the right group of people who shared my enthusiasm to make this thing work. In the process I came to find out I'm quite the bedazzler as well. Thank you to my friends, the fans and to everyone at PleaseRock for believing in our vision. It is always a good feeling to be in the company of good friends who are also great musicians. And always remember... If you want to relive, revive, love life and survive you better get yourself a CONVOY!!!"
CONVOY is Matt Chenowith, Rich Desantis, Adam Johnson, Ryan Faulkner, and of course front man extraordinaire Chris Cox. You can check the guys out tomorrow night from 9 p.m.- midnight at The Front Page News in Little 5 Points
