A DeFuniak Springs man is arrested on a drug charge after being pulled over by a Walton County Sheriff's Deputy on West U.S. Highway 90.
The Deputy noted that Andrew Nichols' 1991 Ford Explorer had trouble driving in a single lane on three different occasions. Upon running the vehicle's tag number through dispatch, it came back to a different vehicle. Nichols told the Deputy that he changed the tag with another vehicle he owned until he could get it transferred over.
Nichols' license was also suspended. During the traffic stop, the Deputy noted that Nichols became very nervous and shaky. When Nichols was asked if he had anything that would get him into trouble, he replied "No you can search me or my vehicle if you want to".
The subsequent search turned-up a small cellophane baggie containing 20 white rectangular pills under the center console in between the two front seats of the vehicle. At that time, Mr. Nichols and his passenger were detained during the investigation.
Nichols told authorities that the pills were his, and only his. It turned out to be Methadone, a prescription narcotic. The 26-year-old driver was then placed under arrest and transported to the Walton County Jail. He faces a felony charge of drug trafficking four grams less than 30 kilograms. In addition, he's charged with attaching a tag that was not assigned to his vehicle. Nichols has been released from jail on a five-thousand dollar bond.

There is something downright communal about the craft beer scene... a feeling of inclusion and welcoming that is rare in the business world. Brewers regularly appear at each other's events, and the ever popular "collaboration beer" is quite possibly the best way to enjoy two (or more) of your favorite breweries at once. It is always encouraging to see industry folks complimenting the competition's brews, and truly exciting when they work together to further the cause of damned fine beer for everyone. The downside is, unfortunately, distance. How do you conspire with someone who's work you admire when their facilities are 1000 miles away?
Well... Brooklyn Brewery has an answer for that. Welcome the Brooklyn Brewery Mash.
The Mash is a traveling cultural exploration of a dozen cities around the world, exploring the best in each community... food, music, film, comedy, writing, and of course, beer. Brooklyn is bringing a little bit of NYC with them, but mixing it up with the locals at each stop along the way to create a blend of communities that enhances the experience for all of us. Set it all against the backdrop of the greatest social lubricant known to man, and you've got one hell of a tour.
Especially when they roll into New Orleans this Saturday!
So yeah, we'll be joined by Brooklyn and the Mash crew from March 29th through April 5th. Food pairings! Live music! Film fests! Comedy shows! And throughout it all... BEER! You can see the entire schedule over at the website, but here are a few highlights I can't wait to enjoy myself.
- Eat, Drink, & Learn with Chef Andrew Gerson
Saturday, March 29th at 4pm - Rouses on Carrollton
Good food deserves a good beer. Learn how to pair them with Brooklyn's own Chef Andrew.
- Craft Beer Revolution
Tuesday, April 1st at 7pm - NOLA Brewing
(WARNING: Self-promotion imminent!)
Join me as I moderate a panel discussion on the past, present, and future of the craft beer movement, based on the book of the same name by Brooklyn co-founder Steve Hindy. Also featuring Mary Wiles of Brooklyn, David Blossman of Abita, and Kirk Coco of NOLA.
- Brooklyn Summer Ale Kickoff Party
Thursday, April 3rd at 10pm - d.b.a.
April on the Gulf Coast means summer's almost here... even this frigid year! Get the season started right with some hot tunes and cold (but not "ice cold") beers on Frenchmen Street.
- Brooklyn Cask-Off
Saturday, April 5th at 2pm - Avenue Pub
It wouldn't be a beer tour in New Orleans without a stop at the Avenue Pub. Three cask-conditioned Brooklyn ales on tap: Summer Ale, Brooklyn EIPA, and Blast! Great way to end the tour if you ask me.
That's just a tiny sample of the ginormous goodness that awaits you next week during the Mash. It's a great opportunity to consume some fine craft beer and enjoy a little bonus culture while you're at it. And don't forget to say hi to me if you catch me at one of these events. I'll be the one drinking.
Find me there?
Until then, drink well my friends...

Along with their Pac-12-best .363 batting average (through April 8), the Bruins are also first in the conference in slugging (.608) and total bases (574) and tied for first in doubles (58). The full listing of UCLA team and individual standings in the Pac-12 is available on page five of this release ... the Bruins are 20-0 this season when scoring at least six runs (have won 87 straight when scoring 6+) and 16-0 when limiting their opponent to two runs or fewer ... the Bruins are 15-0 when leading after five innings and 14-0 when leading after six. Since 2008, UCLA is 137-1 when ahead after five (only loss vs. Florida, 2/25/11) and 126-1 when ahead after six (Washington, 4/23/11) ... 26 of the Bruins' 51 home runs have been solo shots. 18 of the 51 have been leadoff homers. The third inning has been the best for homers, as the Bruins have 15 ... senior Katie Schroeder is in the UCLA career top 10 in seven categories, ranking third in runs scored (179) and stolen bases (46), fourth in on base percentage (.477) and hit by pitches (28), tied for fourth in walks (106), tied for seventh in batting average (.374) and tied for ninth in hits (250).

Schroeder has reached base in 33 of 35 contests and was the only Bruin to record hits in all three games at Arizona State ... sophomore Alyssa Tiumalu started all three contests at ASU behind the plate ... Yudin has drawn a walk in 22 of her 35 games and reached base in 30 contests.
Stanford is looking for its first Pac-12 series win, having been swept by California and losing two of three at Arizona and against Oregon last weekend. Runs were not at a premium last weekend in Palo Alto, as Stanford scored 20, but gave up 26 in a series loss to the Ducks. The Cardinal are hitting .332 as a team on the season with 14 home runs, 42 stolen bases and 5.9 runs per game. Freshman Hanna Winter is tops on the squad with a .457 average and 10 stolen bases. Six others are hitting over .300, including junior Jenna Rich (.382), the team leader in homers (5) and RBI (43) and reigning USA Softball National Player of the Year and senior Ashley Hansen (.373), who also has six triples, two homers and 30 RBI. During Pac-12 play, Stanford is hitting .262 with three homers, five stolen bases and 3.2 runs per game. Winter also leads the way in average at .424 and steals with three, with freshman Leah White, who is batting .392 overall, second at .414. Junior Teagan Gerhart has been the workhorse in the circle, posting a 23-6 record, a 2.32 earned run average and 151 strikeouts in 169 innings. Freshman Nyree White is 5-4 with a 3.79 ERA and 57 strikeouts in 75 2/3 innings. In Pac-12 play, both have seen their ERA's rise, as Gerhart is 2-5 with a 5.51 ERA and 33 strikeouts in 40 2/3 innings, while White is 0-2 with a 7.64 ERA and 13 strikeouts in 18 1/3 innings.
UCLA leads the all-time series 54-16, but Stanford took last year's set at Easton Stadium. The first contest was a marathon affair, which lasted four hours and two minutes. The Bruins came back to tie the game twice with two runs in the seventh and one in the 13th before a walk-off homer by Andrea Harrison in the 14th gave the home team a 6-5 win. Harrison finished the game 3-for-6 with three RBI and two homers, while Samantha Camuso, Talee Snow and Alyssa Tiumalu each added two hits. Despite a pair of two-hit contests by Katie Schroeder in the last two games of the series, the Cardinal posted 6-2 and 5-1 victories. UCLA is 23-10 at home against Stanford and had won 10 straight overall in the series before its current two-game losing streak.

Pittsburgh guys have style and they do it on a budget! Whether they are still living in the city or bringing their style to another place, Pittsburgh guys know how to bargain hunt and look fabulous! A.J., a 29 year-old political contractor from Oakmont talks about his style, his best bargain, and that dream purchase!
What is one word to describe your style?
I would have to go with "Yinzer-casual" when I am not working. When I am working I lean more towards the Barney Stenson mentality of "suit up".
What are your wardrobe staples?
I think any guy reading this would say underwear, but that's just how guys think. I am a jeans and T-shirt kind of man.
What is one piece of fashion you could never pull off?
Skinny ties never look good on us "not so skinny" guys. Also, what's the deal with Manpris? It seems to me that is one of the top ten Man Rules: "Thou shalt not wear capris, no matter what you call them." I believe it is followed by "A European Handbag is still a purse, PUT IT DOWN."
What is your favorite clothing season (fall, winter, spring, summer)?
Most definitely Pittsburgh Pirates Season. There are 162 days where you can find me wearing a Buccos T-shirt
What stores do you regularly shop in?
Well first, let me clarify that I do not "regularly shop". It is like shaving and getting a haircut, most men only do it when we HAVE to. For suits and ties I like Banana Republic, only when I can get a discount. For non-work clothing I like H&M. Who doesn't like $5 V-neck Tees?
What was the best deal you ever found?
A girlfriend working at Banana Republic.
If you were given $1000 and could splurge on one item of clothing/shoes/purses/jewelry, what would you buy?
I would probably wait until this question was asked another 6 and a half more times, giving me the sum of $7500 at which time I would purchase an Omega Seamaster watch commonly worn by James Bond...

Feb. 24, 2004
Junior Miriam Kraschinski, Arizona:
"More puts dropped [today] and I just focused on every single shot and it worked out good. I got into more of a rhythm."
Junior Mar Garcia, Arizona:
"I didn't play as good as yesterday. I didn't hit the ball that good, but I guess I just have to make some puts and make good shots."
"[I want to] make more puts and some position shots [tomorrow]."
Freshman Rachel Gavin, Arizona:
"I shot tons of shots not good. I hit it in the desert and I'd make a double instead of a birdie. But if I stay out of the desert I will be around par. I'm not worried about tomorrow. I know my potential."
Sophomore Lani Elston, Arizona:
"Quite poorly, I shot the same 77. Overall, I feel like my play was a little bit better just had mistakes it was just terrible. I had no feel out there. Couldn't make any puts or hit off the tee. It was just a lot of bad play. It'll get better."
"My mind, it's really my mind which is controlling these wonderful shots I've been hitting. I just need to focus and have confidence and play more aggressively."
Sophomore Cassandra Kirkland, Arizona:
"I didn't play very well. I couldn't hit and couldn't put. I didn't make any puts. Hopefully I will be able to put my game together and play well [tomorrow]."
Sophomore Erica Blasberg, Arizona:
"[I want to] make more puts [tomorrow]."
Arizona Head Coach Greg Allen:
"We're playing the golf course like we've never seen it before. We're hitting it in the desert and getting big numbers and you got to avoid the big numbers and we're not. We're making triples and doubles and not making enough birdies. We are not getting it done. We're a good team; we will just get better, [we're] just struggling right now. We'll go out tomorrow and see what happens."
"Erica fought hard. She had kind of a rollercoaster round. She had a double boogie on the back nine and hit a great par straight after hitting in the water. She shot a 73. She's just frustrated with her putting. She's a great putter, her puts just aren't dropping."
Sophomore Alissa Kuczka, Arizona State:
"[It went] a lot better than yesterday. I felt like it was easier to concentrate, I was more focused than yesterday."
"Well, it helps to not have hail in the middle of a round. There was a lot of shots I missed yesterday and today I was just trying to hit fairways and hit greens."
"It would have been really nice, I really wanted to shot under today. It would be nice to shot under par tomorrow and end the tournament well."
Sophomore Violeta Retamoza, Tennessee:
"It was not to good again. I'm having trouble with my swing and I have an injury in my wrist, so I've been trying to get over it. So it was pretty hard and I haven't played in awhile."
"I'm going to try to make more put and keep the ball in play."
Junior Rachel Kyono, Pepperdine:
"Not as good as I wanted, but it could have been a lot worse."
"The golf course is really tough."
"Just where I choose to hit it. Don't think about where the hazard is, or where out of bounds is."
Freshman Inah Park, New Mexico State:
"I guess it could have been better. I missed a lot of opportunities."
"Pretty much everything. Making more puts and trying to shot well."
Senior Kim Kouwabunpat, Stanford:
"Today didn't do so hot. I didn't have the same groove as yesterday. [Yesterday] I felt really relaxed. I just wasn't hitting greens."
"Get back to where I was yesterday. Go back to hitting greens and getting my priorities."
Senior Sarah Jacobs, Vanderbilt:
"I didn't play very well again. I'm having trouble getting into rhythm."
"To be honest I really don't know because it's been so many things. Yesterday it was putting today it just was really not executing shots. So I feel [I need to] stay focused more than anything."
Junior Kristen White, Ohio State:
"I'm saving it [birdies] all for tomorrow, birdie barrage tomorrow. I guess I did about average, 74. I'm the lag-put queen, but other than that nothing was dropping."
Junior Lindsay Knowlton, Ohio State:
"I don't think we played as well as yesterday, but that is fine because anything can happen on this course as we've seen. So hopefully it'll be a birdie barrage."
Sophomore Sophia Sheridan, California:
"I played ok. Actually I hit better greens, kind of boring."
"I expect to give my best and shoot a low score. I like low scores."
Sophomore May Wood, Vanderbilt:
"I think I hit the ball pretty well. My puts didn't go in, I had a lot of opportunities I didn't capitalize on. But I felt like I played pretty well."
"Be more patient, put a better roll on the ball, hopefully it'll fall."
Senior Sarah Huarte, California:
"I didn't play as well as I did yesterday, but I had some birdie opportunities I missed and that hurts the confidence a little. I didn't put as well today. That's where I really struggled."
"The fairway is the most important [tomorrow]."
Junior Charlotte Mayorkas, UCLA:
"I had one bad hole, just wasn't focused out there. It wasn't my game. [I hope to] put up better numbers [tomorrow]."
Senior Allison Hanna, Ohio State:
"Today I just kind of hung in there. I didn't really make any puts...I just kind of hung in there and just focused on my short game."
UCLA Head Coach Carrie Forsyth:
"Hannah Jun played well, today for us. She's a freshman. She got couple of good holes [today] she shot under par today. I'm pretty proud of her."
Vanderbilt Head Coach Martha Freitag:
"Yeah we played well. It was a very solid effort. The good news is we played well; the better news is we played even better. We have a couple kids who left some shots out there and want to go out and get them tomorrow. Overall, we're hitting the ball well and we know how to play in layers because we do that in Nashville [Tenn.]. We're looking forward to tomorrow.
Ohio State Head Coach Therese Hession:
"We played pretty well. We had a few bad holes that got off track that turned into some big numbers. But they had real good attitudes and hung in there and made the best of the round. Hopefully tomorrow we can hit the ball a little bit better and we are in good shape. Several teams can still win so I think that's where we want to be going into the final round."
"I think just keep doing, I mean, having the confidence in my shot and definitely on my putting and just keep working on that."

Barbara & Nancy: As I recall, that radio station had the call-letters WOVE. As a Welch "street-kid" I used to go up there all the time and watch the DJ's spin the 45's through the window of the studio. WOVE was a lot closer than my favorite WELC. Great AM transistor radio memories of Welch!

If you were in the class of 1961, you will remember, too that, Larry Jenkins had his own popular "Teenage" program on the air........as did our own, classmate, Jackie Romans! A lot of us use to "hangout" at the station after school. It was a fun place........and they always made us feel welcome!

This picture was taken at the receptionist desk of the radio station that was located at the top of the long flight of stairs.......over Cox Department Store on McDowell Street. The pretty lady was married to the handsome "DJ"............give me a minute (or 1,000) and I will tell you their names..

2011 Annual Report
Auxin, indole-3-acetic-acid (IAA), is a major plant hormone that controls nearly all aspects of plant development, including cell division and cell elongation, the major determinants of normal seed development/seed size and, ultimately, the crop yield. However, very little is known regarding genes and enzymes of IAA biosynthesis in seeds. Our genetic and functional genomic studies based on two IAA-deficient seed mutants have identified three new genes, however, expression pattern of only one of them correlated with the IAA profile.
Studies were initiated to determine whether a novel maize protein, ZmPep1, regulates plant defense responses. Results indicated that ZmPep1-treated plants have increased disease resistance as quantified by changes in levels of hormones, gene expression, defense metabolite production and symptom development.
A novel family of defense metabolites was discovered in fungal-infected maize plants and functionally characterized. Results showed that these defense metabolites accumulate to very high levels in diseased tissues and have antimicrobial activity against several fungal pathogens of maize.

This Scripture Alphabet was meant as a teaching device, helping children to learn their alphabet and Scripture at the same time. It is printed on very poor quality paper and has many many imperfections - making it all the more interesting.
Clearly the words and pictures weren't meant for the wealthy. The pictures that accompany the alphabet text are extremely interesting: until the advent (and widespread acceptance) of color lithography, pictures in books were often hand tinted. The work was usually done by women, and for low wages. While colorings are often exquisitely detailed in other works, here we see mass produced art. Each picture was finished in three or four brush strokes.
These pictures are a real treasure. We discuss their hand coloring in more detail elsewhere.
A note: We can't seem to find this material in the Library of Congress database and would appreciate any information people would have on this matter.

Come Work With Robert Kosara
I first saw the news of the CI Fellow program (Computing Innovation) over at InsideHPC, but blew it off as irrelevant to us here. Looks like I might have been a bit hasty, as now Robert Kosara (eagereyes) has announced that he is one of the mentors and is looking to take someone on at UNC Charlotte.
I am interested in two broad areas: theory of information visualization and visualization for visual communication. The theory side is about some of the topics described in my recent Year of InfoVis Theory article, and obviously thinking that topic further. Communication is about how to get information across to people, so they're engaged and retain that information. Perhaps that involves lots of embellishments, or perhaps it involves storytelling, or perhaps something else entirely. There's only one way to find out.
To qualify, you have to complete you Ph.D. between May 1 2009 and August 31 2010, and you'll be paid $75k a year plus benefits for the work.

Your toddler couldn't care less about getting water in his eyes. And the no-tear formula shampoo is still in use in your house. That being said, you'll still find a reason to force your kid to wear this Baby Shampoo Shield ($9): because it looks a-freaking-dorable. Sure, the kid in this picture looks oblivious and moderately annoyed by it. But just as long as you can take just one picture of Junior while he's wearing this waterfall of embarrassment, it will be money well spent.

The bishops are insane
The Telegraph quotes the "reverend" Graham Dow, Bishop of Carlisle, in reference to the recent floods in England:
We are reaping the consequences of our moral degradation, as well as the environmental damage that we have caused...Our government has been playing the role of God in saying that people are free to act as they want...The sexual orientation regulations [which give greater rights to gays] are part of a general scene of permissiveness. We are in a situation where we are liable for God's judgment, which is intended to call us to repentance.
The other day, I posted my partial transcript of a podcast interview with Richard Dawkins, in which he said:
I think they [the bishops] are wrong...but I don't think they are insane.
Dawkins was mistaken. Here we have evidence that bishops can be insane, crazy, nuts. Public figures like Dow who still consider disasters as acts of a revenge-seeking god are dangerous for the mental well-beings of the societies they live in. They can't and shouldn't be taken seriously.

Following the AFC playoff and championship games, the reactions of Ray Lewis have caught the attention of sportscasters and the nation. Ray's genuine emotion holds lessons for a nation facing a rapid change in the definition of "career," looming Boomer retirement, and an avoidance of displaying, let alone discussing, feelings.
After 17 years in the NFL, it is not surprising for emotions to be high. Although each individual's experience is unique, professionals often attach their identity to their work. When that career comes to an end, it is the end of that identity . . . and can trigger a grief response like any other loss. It is this grief, and most importantly our failure to recognize and process it, that can hinder our ability to take the next step in our career.
What can Ray (and the rest of us) do to process the grief and have a smoother career transition?
Allow emotion. What a great role model Ray has been in demonstrating that displaying emotion doesn't have to be taboo. Even for a big, tough guy. Pretending emotion doesn't exist won't fool anyone - - especially the interviewer sitting across from us. If we don't express it at the appropriate time, it will show itself later, perhaps at an inconvenient time.
Celebrate and get support. One of the most difficult transitions is a lay off. Unlike Ray, who will get to celebrate or commiserate with his team, the layoff process usually prevents celebration and closure with colleagues. We can create these by going to lunch with colleagues, writing down successes, and talking with friends and family. If emotions are strong, professional counselors are now only a phone call away.
Recognize the process. Because everyone experiences grief and change differently, it might help to look at a few models. The Change Cycle Model, Kubler-Ross Model, or William Bridges Transition Model can give structure to the process and provide strategies for managing change and grief.
Give yourself time. We wouldn't dream of asking someone who just got divorced when they will get married again. Because we don't understand job loss and career change grief and because most of us need work to keep food on the table, we push away our grief and immediately seek a new job. We can't imagine scheduling in time for ourselves. Take even a few hours a week to reflect, exercise, and process can help combat the impulsiveness that can come in times of grief.
So, when the time comes for career transition or retirement - - learn from Ray. Mourn. Celebrate. Take time for yourself. Allowing the grieving process will speed the transition.

May you live in interesting times

Okay, so the owners took a dinner break then reconvened and voted. It was 31-0 in favor of the agreement. Incidentally, the Raiders abstained, which is in keeping with Al Davis' nature...
So that's the first half. Now its up to the union, and it looks like they may vote on it tonight. Maybe.
There's still talk about re-certification.
And the league officially cancelled the hall of fame game.
At the moment, training camps would open August 1st.
More thoughts: D Smith said "its not a done deal" and wanted to talk it over with the players some more.
The owners gave the players until Tuesday to accept the offer....or else....I have no idea what.
The owners want to get in the full schedule, and are pushing hard to get there....but remember what I said previously: the players don't care about the preseason.

According to the latest Nielsen ratings, 43.7 million viewers plugged into the Oscars this year. It was the highest ratings for the award show in the past 14 years. What attracted mass viewers?
Ellen DeGeneres. Some think the golden ticket was Oscar host Ellen DeGeneres. DeGeneres, who has won the support of many, young and old, holds a special spot in the hearts of the LGBT community. For LGBT parents who may have been watching the show with their children this past Sunday, seeing DeGeneres, an out and proud gay woman leading a prestigious award show, stamps a strong message.
A gay person can be successful.
I'm sure many gay teenagers tuned into the Oscars, happy to view somebody who loves the way they do. Again, the same strong message is portrayed.
A gay person can be successful.
Jared Leto. Jared Leto winning the Academy Award for his supporting role in "Dallas Buyers Club" took a secondary seat to his inspiring acceptance speech. Playing a transgendered character suffering from AIDS in the film, Leto dedicated his award to AIDS victims and encouraged people to keep fighting for their dreams.
"This is for the 36 million people who have lost the battle to AIDS and to those of you out there who have ever felt injustice because of who you are or who you love. Tonight, I stand here in front of the world, with you and for you," said Leto during his speech.
Leto's public acknowledgement of AIDS is the result of decades of hard work and advocacy. Free AIDS testing, the development of successful drugs that slow down the virus, and countless hours of research are a far cry from AIDS' horrible beginnings.
Stigma of AIDS. In the 1980s, many gay men were being infected with the HIV virus. Little was known about the deadly virus. At the time, President Ronald Reagan led the United States. Reagan virtually ignored the AIDS crisis for years, as more and more individuals fell victim to the fatal disease. Reagan's indifference and religious leader's view of AIDS as a just punishment helped foster an air of hostility against the LGBT population and unnecessary suffering. The death of actor Rock Hudson to AIDS in 1985 finally forced Reagan to start discussing the epidemic. Many feel that millions of lives could have been spared if Reagan had employed a more active stance against AIDS.
Youngster Ryan White, who contracted AIDS from a blood transfusion in 1984 served as a bright spot in AIDS awareness, White traveling the talk show circuit to educate America. White's death in 1990 was not in vain, The Ryan White Care Act passed to help uninsured and low-income individuals suffering from AIDS to pay for their treatment.
What was formerly a death sentence, is now a controllable disease. While a cure is yet to be found, approximately 30 drugs have been approved to combat AIDS. Today, AIDS is not condemned as a "gay disease." Former NBA star Magic Johnson has been living with AIDS for 23 years.
For LGBT individuals, the 2014 Oscars is a symbol of how far we have come and the barriers we have smashed. Let me take you back a bit.
5 Years Ago: President Barack Obama extends health care benefits to LGBT partners of federal employees.
10 Years Ago: Only the state of Massachusetts allows gay marriage.
17 Years Ago: Ellen Morgan/DeGeneres comes out as gay on her television show. After the next season, the "Ellen" show is canceled for being "too gay" oriented. DeGeneres's career suffers for 7 years.
30 Years Ago: An unknown disease is killing parts of the gay community. The concept of LGBT marriage and gay families is non-existent.
40 Years Ago: "Homosexuality" is enjoying its recent deletion from the "Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders," no longer classified as a disorder. However, several LGBT individuals are still being beaten, harassed, and tortured. No shows centering on gay families exist.
The concept of a successful lesbian Oscar host is unfathomable. . .
Readers, what LGBT changes do you hope to see in the next 40 years? Please write a comment below.

Knott is the toughest Burnham has ever coached
Chris Williams
AMES --- Tough guys.
Wally Burnham has seen his fair share of them over the years. Burnham, whose 46 years of expereince makes him one of the most seasoned football coaches in America, has seen his fair share of wimps too. But entering the 2012 Iowa State football season, know this - After nearly five decades of coaching at schools like Florida State, South Carolina and South Florida, Wally Burnham has never seen anybody quite like linebacker Jake Knott.
"He's the toughest guy I've ever coached in my 46 years," said Burnham at Iowa State's Media Day last Thursday. "He is the toughest I have ever been around, physically and mentally. You can beat him down but you're not going to beat him out. He's got the mindset of, 'If you're going to get me out of this game, you're going to have to kill me.' That's about where he is."
Knott, who dislocated shoulder and then popped it back into place two times in a road game at Baylor last season, played the majority of his junior year with the use of one arm. This "rub some dirt on it" mentality was instilled in Knott at a young age while rough-housing with little brother Luke (a freshman on Iowa State's football team).
"If you fell down and you got up and you went to mom, it was frowned upon so to speak," said Knott. "You just didn't do that type of thing. It was almost to a point where you just stayed out there if you twisted your ankle, you stayed out and you kept playing or your team lost because they had to forfeit. That's kind of how we did it. Unless you had to go to the hospital, you kept playing."
Unless you had to go to the hospital that is..."Mr. Tough Guy" Knott recalls that happening, only once though (and he isn't proud of it either).
"I ran into a barbed-wire fence one time and my mom made me go to the hospital," said Knott. "That's the only time I remember ever having to do anything about it. I got cut pretty bad."
(It was at this point in the interview when Knott proudly showed me this scar on his arm from that very run-in with the barbed-wire fence. He's a proud papa of that battle wound.)
Luke says that big brother Jake has always been this way.
"He's always been a little rough around the edges. We always competed in different things in the back yard," said Luke. "If I were to somehow get a point on him or something it was like the end of the world. He would always find some way to retaliate. He's always been a competitive guy so when he gets dinged up, his mind isn't on his injury."
The good news is that Knott is as Paul Rhoads said, "healthy as a horse" heading into 2012.

Sterling College's Online Division Experiences Growth, Meets Students' Needs
Sterling College student Rebecca Richey is working on her Bachelor of Arts in Christian Ministries. She is also a single mother who works full time. How does she do it? She is a student in Sterling College's online division, e.Sterling, and she says, "I'm able to do my homework after my son is in bed. It's a great benefit." Richey is one of several non-traditional students continuing their education at Sterling College; in the past year the number of e.Sterling students has more than doubled, and e.Sterling's first four graduation candidates were eligible to walk in the 2009 commencement ceremony.
These students are finding that online education's drawback, the lack of face-to-face contact, can be offset by communication via technology. e.Sterling student Constance Fadigan says, "While at first it seemed faceless, it now feels like a living book. I write, it writes back. And I have the time to thoughtfully consider responses instead of answering on the spot like in classroom learning. I find it a pleasurable way to study, and I enjoy the interaction with other students."
e.Sterling offers degree completion in Theology and Ministry and in Christian Ministries. Through the Sterling Teacher Education Program Online (STEP Online), it currently offers degree completion in the areas of elementary education, professional studies, and math with an emphasis in education, with history being launched this fall. e.Sterling has articulation agreements with both Colby Community College and Coffeyville Community College. Its programs work well for the student who has completed general education hours as well as for the student who holds a bachelor's degree but needs education coursework to obtain a teaching license. An education degree from e.Sterling fully prepares graduates for licensure through the Kansas State Department of Education.

Sirens (My 1st Collab Poem!)Bittersweet (Miracle2's Contribution) ~ Iridescent (AkiIsAwesome42's Contribution) ~ Remorseful (Tsuru67's Contribution)Sirens (My 1st Collab Poem!) by letthemeatwords
In the churning waters of the Swallowing Sea,
There was a band of creatures that lived there in glee.
The sensational sirens, to the darkness they belong,
For their seductive voices and their sinister song.
Their leader was the one with the most beautiful sound,
Her name was Creana, whom the strictest she could dumbfound.
With just four notes she could catch a sailor's ear,
And then send him tumbling to the rocks to be speared.
A siren named Cloee was Creana's little sister,
But her voice was cursed, so when she sang, on their ears grew blisters.
Creana still adored her, but their relationship was bittersweet,
She'd cover Cloee's mouth with seaweed so she wouldn't scare the fleet.
Even after such mistreatment, Cloee was determined,
To prove to all in the Swallowing Sea that her voice wasn't a burden.
As soon as a plan formed in her head, her eyes grew

I'm the narrator, in case you didn't know that after I said "'I'm', and there's a story I've been itching to tell. It's been kept a secret for a while, trust me, it's very controversial. But, I thought somepony would want to hear it, so here I am.
Sure, this is a tale from Equestria, the very very very magical place with lots and lots and lots of rainbows and apples and Apples and rocks and trees and trees and rocks and water and flowers and singing and general happiness... however, I'm warning you now that there were some not happy and cheerful things going on at the time. In other words, this is not your typical Equestria story. No matter how happy and cheerful I can be, I can't make everything look better.
Don't look so unsure of yourself, no worries, because like many many many of Equestria's stories, this particular one also has a... not quite a happy ending, I'd call it semi-neutral, though it leans more toward happy than sa
The Hole KingHole KingThe Hole King by letthemeatwords
The throne was empty. Undeniably, unordinarily, unexplainably empty.
Just one day ago, the citizens of Oodrah remembered standing in front of the last remaining mega-screen in the heart of the city, a projector that stretched 100 ft by 75 ft in area, the ebony sides gleaming brightly in the moonlight. It was one of the last objects in Oodrah that was shiny and clean, everyone elseâs mini screens were shattered in the center and collecting dust and lint.
They recalled the scene showed on the screen, a cream wall of gleaming porcelain behind a pointed sky-scraping chair carved out of the finest wood that was the throne. A velvet rug began on the seat of the throne, and flowed down to the tapestry tile floors that depicted images unlike any the Oodrahtions had seen before. Folk tales with splendid merfolk, pure white unicorns, terrible dragons, and other fantasy creatures danced on each square. There were also less satisfying pictures of

como la vía láctea y el fin del mundo.
Si está oscuro son las cinco de la mañana y está por salir el sol,
en algún lugar hay un pez despierto y un pez dormido,
todo es eterno y líquido y mercúreo

Un tic y un segundo, un tac y otro más,
al tercero se reescribió la historia y
mil monumentos se fueron a dormir.
En el silencio nunca hubo silencio,
hay tiempo que fluye envenenado por cálculos fútiles,
cadenas de unidades y huecos chatos,
porque ¿qué es el tiempo, si no hay tiempo?
Una excusa, una idea, una madeja o el arca de Noé,

almost like the last standard of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge,
unfathomable, solemn,
He was like iceland because he left my hands cold, and there was always a folk song whispering around him,
like he never did anything but speak in ancestral riddles.
But he looked the most like Iceland when I told him it was time for me to go back,
because he smiled, white with frostbite,
and whispered in my ear he had survived many winters.

College Hockey:Wayne State blanks Minnesota State
DETROIT — Down six forwards, the Wayne State hockey team opened its final home series of the year with a dominant win against Minnesota State, 6-0, at the City Sports Center arena.
The Warriors (6-6-0) trail now 10-3-0 all-time against the Mavericks (6-8-1) and the teams have not faced each other since the 2006-07 season. Both teams were swept in each of their last series.
Wayne State's Cari Coen scored the first goal at 11:30 of the opening period on a power play. Coen's goal, which was her first of the season, led the Warriors to play 60 minutes of consistent hockey.
Short-benched, the Warriors had to play without Gina Buquet, who received a game disqualification from last weekend's game misconduct against the Mercyhurst Lakers. Buquet is expected to play tomorrow.
Warriors goaltender Delayne Brian earned her third shutout of the season and seventh of her career with the win. Minnesota State played two of their goaltenders, Danielle Butters, who played for a total of 4:47, and Alli Altmann who played the remaining 55:13.
"Our effort wasn't there," said Kathleen Rogan, the Mavericks leader in goals (8). "We weren't winning the battles and we were outworked."
Veronique Laramee-Paquette, Alyssa Baldin, Adrianna Pfeffer, Julie Ingratta and Julie Hebert tallied in the high scoring affair. Ingratta scored a fluke goal, her seventh of the season, short side at 14:52 of the second period.
"I have no idea how it went in," Ingratta said. "I tried to shoot it and then Baldy [Baldin] took it to the goalie."
With just 0:35 left in the second period, Hebert scored the final goal of the game, assisted by Jaclyn Stapleton and Jill Szandzik, who tallied her 10th assist of the season.
In the third period, the Mavericks struggled to get a shot in, but both teams remained scoreless. Despite the outcome, the Mavericks outshot the Warriors 31-22. The Warriors went 1-for-8 on the power play.
The Warriors will play the Mavericks tomorrow at 2 p.m.

Who says thin is always in? From Amazonian goddesses to almost Frankenstein-like frames, the hottest body type in America has been big, small, round, tall—and more. Here, the curves and muscles that have been most worshipped, from the 1950s to today.
THE 2010s
The Poster Child: Heidi Montag
In 2010, the then 23-year-old reality star debuted a new body on the cover of People, after having 10 cosmetic procedures in one day. Her surgeon, Frank Ryan, said the procedures took about seven or eight hours. Montag now says she'd like to reduce her G-cup breasts.

Finally - Buying Quality Alpacas For Less
Buying Alpacas Made Simple
"Buying Quality Alpacas - Just Got Simple"
Here's what our FREE service will do:
- Help you decide on The Right Alpacas
- Become Totally Involved in Starting Your Business
- Arrange the Purchase of Your Alpacas
- Coordinate the Purchase Agreement
- Determine the Best Time for YOU to Take Delivery
- Answer your important questions…
If you are serious about starting a new and rewarding alpaca lifestyle… or just adding to your current herd… we will work with you and the seller to be sure you both benefit from our services. We currently have alpacas available… both Huacaya and Suri… Starting at $500 (40% – 70% below market
Delivered to Your Door
We select high quality alpacas that are owned by breeders who find themselves in the need of downsizing for a variety of reasons. After I personally interview them about their herd history, the dam's breeding and birthing experience, the seller and I come to an agreement on the best price for the animals. We then put a group together to create a starter package and offer them to you, our preferred clients. The price to you represents a recent reduction of at least 40% – 70% off or more. Generally speaking you are able to purchase multiple alpacas at a price equivalent to a single alpaca.
My experience working with Julie Roy has been GREAT! She is very knowledgeable about alpacas, professional and polite – a pleasure to work with! If she was ever busy, she would get right back to me as if I were her only client. She was able to help me sell 3 females with crias and place them in a good home. Julie found a buyer and helped negotiate a good deal for both buyer and seller. Julie, in my case, went far beyond the call of duty! She's been helpful to me beyond words. ~ John Mark E., Winding Way Alpacas
Julie you have touched me so much. You keep giving me the knowledge of the alpacas, the strength to keep moving forward to make our business venture happen, and the courage to make this all happen no matter what is thrown my way. I can not thank you enough and I thank God for introducing you and Don to us. ~ Linda C., Workin Together Alpacas

"Washington is not a place to live in. The rents are high, the food is bad, the dust is disgusting and the morals are deplorable. Go West, young man, go West and grow up with the country."
– Horace Greeley
Ian Schoen opened his presentation a conference I went to in Bangkok, Thailand last year with that quote from Horace Greeley and it's stuck with me ever since.
Ian went on to talk about how Asia is, in many ways, the "New West" for our generation. Paraphrasing, his message was that the opportunity for any generation is never where the scripts are legible or the maps are already drawn.
The opportunity is always where the scripts are unwritten.
For Americans in 19th century America, the opportunity was literally in drawing the map, in going to areas where no one from their culture had ever been. To the Americans of the 19th century, the West was still unmapped. It was a script waiting to be written.
Greeley recognized that wealthy people are always the ones writing the scripts and drawing the maps, not the ones following them.
The map waiting to be drawn is always changing and it's different for every person. It's only in rare instances in history that the undrawn map is literally a map though I think that helps to illustrate the concept.
Whatever external form it takes, it's always an internally undrawn map, an uncharted part of ourselves. It's the gap between the stimulus of our times and the response of how we choose to lead our lives.
I was re-listening to a talk by Seth Godin to a group of entrepreneurs a few weeks ago. He was talking about one of the people attending and he said that there were only 2 reasons why she wouldn't reach her full potential in the next year.
Either she wouldn't find her fear or she wouldn't confront it. She wouldn't find her West or she wouldn't make the journey.
Finding you fear, your West, is hard.
In order to find your fear, you have to get really clear on what you want and why you want it.
I like to think of it like the compass in Pirates of the Caribbean movies that points towards whatever you want most. Johnny Depp's character goes through this period where the needle on the compass is spinning around like crazy because he doesn't know what he wants most.
I can relate to that. But sometimes, an opportunity comes along or maybe I just take the time to sit down and get really clear on what I want and the needle on the compass freezes.
Though the path is still undefined, the direction I have to travel become crystal clear.
For the young men in Greeley's time, the needle pointed West. Their fear – their Resistance – was in the West.
In a time when most people never left the towns they were born in, he was calling on them to go thousands of miles away from everything they had ever known into, quite literally, uncharted territory.
That must have been terrifying. But for those who did go, for the men that "made the West," the men that wrote the scripts, that drew the maps, they did something extraordinary that shaped the future of a country.
Yet, a lot of men went West and never made much of themselves, either in terms of actual physical wealth or however else it was defined.
While finding your fear is half the battle, it's still only half.
Once you find it, you have to run. You have to sprint.
When I was training for American Football we used to do parachute runs. They attach a parachute to your back and you do sprints. You'd run 50 yards and then detach the parachute and finish the next 50 yards.
And I think that's what its like once you've found your fear and know which way to run. You take the first few steps and it's easy. The parachute is till laying on the ground. And then, they come off the ground and inflate and you start grinding. You feel slow and inadequate The people ahead that have taken off their parachutes look like they're flying and you're running so hard and yet you're barely moving.
Even though you objectively know it to be true, it's hard to convince yourself that they're flying precisely because they used to have parachutes on too. Because they found their fear and ran at it as hard as they could.
But after you've done parachute sprints for a while, they get easier. You get stronger and faster then they have to attach 2 parachutes or 3 parachutes for the drill to be effective.
Likewise you go through one fear and you get stronger and you have to find a bigger fear. And I think that's what a meaningful life is made up of.
At first glance, it starts to seem like a treadmill. Like an endless series of sprints. Like you aren't going anywhere.
And in a sense that's true, but I think it's misguided.
The fastest guys on my team when I graduated weren't the fastest guys on the first day of training camp their freshman year. They weren't the guys that wanted to be the fastest. They were the guys that wanted to be the fastest versions of themselves and in the end became the fastest.
A lot of the guys that were the fastest on day 1 quit or burned out.
It's hard to sustain yourself off of purely external motivation. It can be powerful over short periods of time, but it I don't think it's sustainable in the long term.
In the Inner of Game Tennis, Timothy Gallwey articulates the concept more clearly than I can.
The surfer waits for the big wave because he values the challenge it presents. He values the obstacles the wave puts between him and his goal of riding the wave to the beach. Why? Because it is those very obstacles, the size and churning power of the wave, which draw from the surfer his greatest effort. It is only against the big waves that he is required to use all his skill, all his courage and concentration to overcome; only then can he realize the true limits of his capacities. At that point he often attains his peak.
In other words, the more challenging the obstacle he faces, the greater the opportunity for the surfer to discover and extend his true potential. The potential may have always been within him, but until it is manifested in action, it remains a secret hidden from himself. The obstacles are a very necessary ingredient to this process of self-discovery. Note that the surfer in this example is not out to prove himself; he is not out to show himself or the world how great he is, but is simply involved in the exploration of his latent capacities.
He directly and intimately experiences his own resources and thereby increases his self-knowledge. From this example the basic meaning of winning became more clear to me.
Winning is overcoming obstacles to reach a goal, but the value in winning is only as great as the value of the goal reached. Reaching the goal itself may not be as valuable as the experience that can come in making a supreme effort to overcome the obstacles involved. The process can be more rewarding than the victory itself.
If you know where you want to go and you've found the fear that's between you and there, then you're lucky. You're really lucky. And you have to start running.
Sure, you should pick up your head first and make sure it's the way you want to go. But once you know it is, just run.
And wherever you think you're going, it's probably not where you'll end up. Every time, I've followed my fear, it's taken me somewhere other than where I wanted to go. And that's sort of the point. It's not where you get to, it's what you become and what you help others become by following you fear.
Go Fear, Young Man, Go Fear.

Local chef faces reality
Gregorich is sous chef
at Euphemia Haye restaurant
on Longboat Key. Gregorich
prepares a dish on "Hell's Kitchen."
Former Island resident Jamie Gregorich recently blazed into primetime reality TV as a star on the FOX show "Hell's Kitchen." The Kitchen is an hour-long show where Chef Gordon Ramsay puts a group of aspiring chefs through intense challenges to see who can outlast the others and win the competition. The winner receives a life-changing prize: a head chef position at BLT Steak in New York City.
After surviving six weeks of the competition, Gregorich finally was eliminated last week. But she said the adventure was an incredible one.
"It was a once-in-a-lifetime experience," she said. "I learned so much while I was there that any chef would kill for. I made lifelong friends and memories I will never forget. Never in a million years would I have even dreamed of this opportunity. I take everything in stride and I feel truly grateful to have stumbled upon this."
Chef Ramsay, she said, "was very intense and tough to work for. He's an amazing leader, though, that never holds back. But we did get to see a funny side of him off camera and he seems like a normal dude."
Gregorich grew up on Anna Maria Island and played every sport offered at the Community Center before moving to Bradenton after fifth grade. She played soccer and graduated from Manatee High School in 2004. She then chose to move on to culinary art school at Manatee Technical Institute and graduated in 2008. She currently holds the title of sous chef and has been learning from her mentor, Chef Mark Keckstein, of Euphemia Haye, since the day she started working there. Gregorich also is an M.T.I culinary instructor when not at the restaurant.
She decided to pursue her culinary arts career further and auditioned for the show. When she found out she made the cast of "Hell's Kitchen" she was ecstatic and off to Hollywood she went.
"We didn't get to see much outside of the H.K. walls, but what we did get to see of Hollywood was amazing," she said. "It's such a huge area and to think it's such a tiny piece of that huge state."
When asked how being on the show changed her life now that she is back in Bradenton she said, "Well, when I first got back there wasn't much change in everyday life, but when the show aired I was receiving requests from all the local papers, TV and radio stations, sporting events … it was just amazing to think little ol' me was getting all this publicity."
Stardom has not changed this local girl who knows her roots. When Jamie is not being a Chef, she can still be seen in the kitchen at Euphemia Haye and playing with her friends in adult soccer and flag football leagues. Her future as a chef is bright. She plans on continuing down the ever-growing culinary road and working her two jobs before traveling to different kitchens around the country to learn.

UTLA Election Results
At The Schools With Audrey Linden
There were all of ten candidates running for President of UTLA including the incumbent President, Warren Fletcher. The strongest in the running were Alex Caputo-Pearl, and UTLA Secondary V. P. Gregg Solkovitz. The first round went to Alex Caputo-Pearl with 48 percent of the votes and Warren Fletcher with 21 percent. If Caputo-Pearl had 2 percent more votes, he would have won. Some votes went to next in line, Gregg Solkovitz. There is a run-off between Caputo-Pearl and Fletcher for UTLA President. The ballots have been mailed to the teachers for the second run of this election.
It is interesting to note that Alex Caputo-Pearl ran under the Union Power Team and all six members of the team except him were voted in during the first round. Betty Forrester, incumbent, Juan Ramirez, incumbent, Arlene Inouye, incumbent, aligned with the Union Power team will be doing their second term as UTLA officers and Cecily Myart-Cruz, Daniel Barnhart, and Colleen Schwab are the newly elected officers from the Union Power Team.
All the Board of Directors who were supported by the Union Power Team also were elected. It was a new concept to have an entire team run. And, the team members had been working for a year, meeting and planning to come up with a game plan which , hopefully will turn UTLA around in the power struggle with LAUSD's, Superintendent, John Deasy. It was a new concept to have an entire team of people, who get along and can work together, run on the same ticket.
The teachers spoke for a change with their votes. They wanted a team who could make headway against LAUSD. The current leadership has been stalemated since the January 29th Demand letter for a raise, classroom reduction, hiring of teachers, etc, was sent. Deasy has not replied.
President Fletcher announced to teachers and to the L A Times, as reported by Howard Blume, that he is not actively campaigning. He felt the teachers had voted in the first round for a change in leadership, and with only 21 percent of the vote, he would have a major challenge in winning the race. If he were to withdraw, there would still have to be a run off, which would be between Alex Caputo-Pearl and Gregg Solkovitz, who was in third place. If Fletcher does win, he said he would be happy to serve another term and would work with the officers on the Union Power team.
The Union has been divisive and that has been reflected in the House of Reps Meetings in which many times, the quorum has been called leaving unfinished business. Time had been taken discussing pro and con issues and teachers had left the meeting in frustration.
To Fletcher's credit is the recent court decision to fund the understaffed schools affected by the Reed decision. UTLA had a long, protracted fight to win this for the schools and this is a big win.
The ballots will be counted at the end of April and the second round of election results will be known by the beginning of May.

I hope everyone remembers my fossil hillclimber head project from the old forum: Most top fins removed, dual intakes, submerged in a sunken basement for a generation. I intend to run open springs and rockers, valve seals, double plugs ('cos that's where fins are missing)and now I am considering cutting thin-stem guides from scratch, since I have some nitrided Sport intakes left over. They are the same length, and I have to re-seat anyway.
Does anyone have experience with huge valves, like crashing or anything? I have a choice of mild to rad cams.

Operation Karaoke: McCain to Croon More Policy Tunes
EWM- (April 20, 2007, Washington, DC) –Buoyed by the extensive coverage of his "bomb Iran" parody of the Beach Boys' "Barbara Ann," Senator John McCain has ordered his staff to launch what he's calling "Operation Karaoke," a multi-media road show that he hopes will revive his sagging campaign by crooning more foreign policy tunes.
A top aide, speaking on the condition of anonymity, expressed concern. "We've gone from the 'straight-talk express' to claiming it's safe to walk around in Baghdad to singing about carpet-bombing countries. So if you're asking me if he's lost his freaking mind, I'd have to say 'absolutely.'"
EWM has obtained a McCain memo that outlines plans to disseminate a variety of rewritten musical standards through podcasts on his Web site. McCain hopes to reach "niche demographics" by covering songs that appeal to various voter groups. Examples include:
McCain is banking on capturing the senior citizen vote by rewriting the classic Bill Haley and the Comets' tune to say: "We're gonna rock Ahmadinejad tonight…we're gonna bomb, bomb, bomb till broad daylight."
To demonstrate to 40-somethings that he's still quite the hipster, McCain will issue new versions of Joan Jett's "I love rock and roll" ("I love shock and awe") and the classic Deep Purple anthem will become "Smoke on your daughter."
Disco aficionados won't be left out as Kool and the Gang's "Celebration" will be sung, "annihilate, good times, come on!" and the updated KC and the Sunshine Band classic will be retooled to go, "Give sheik the booty."
McCain will also perform at weddings with sappy love song updates from artists such as Lionel Richie ("You're once, twice, three times invaded") and Paul McCartney ("Baby you're ablaze.")
Operation Karaoke will officially kick-off with an appearance on Fox's Big Story with John Gibson in which McCain will sing a duet with the host of the renamed "The Battle Hymn of the Republican" with its new refrain "gory, gory, hallelujah."

"Eaglets feeding"
Here's a short video of the chicks being fed late this afternoon, you'll notice that only one of the eaglets seem very interested in the fish its mother offers. The chicks are slightly damp, but none the worse for wear from the heavy rains that fell earlier today. The adults were able to keep them brooded and warm through the worst of the rainstorm. We hope that the camera will be back on-line tomorrow morning.

Each day of the three-day weekend features stunts from X Games athletes – including Petr Pilat, Kye Forte and Edgar Torronteras – in the Goodwood Action Sports Arena. There will also be sideways action on the Skoda Forest Rally Stage and displays of aerobatics with appearances by the Eurofighter Typhoon fighter jet.

Kinda like building speedups except its for troops
Kinda like building speedups except its for troops
I agree with you, speed ups should be able to be used for both building AND troop production...which includes scholars
I disagree. This would unbalance the game too much.
I also disagree. This idea has been brought up before and was dismissed for this reason I believe. If you're attacking a city, and you clear it, but when your scholars reached it, they're all killed because of troops gotten through speed-ups, how would you like that? Yes, I know timing fixes the issue. Yes, I know guilds may support. But here's this idea too. For paying players, they could have a devastating army within minutes due to timing, speed-ups, and resource buying. And I do sympathize and understand where you're coming from as I once had the same wish. But from the above mentioned I dissuaded myself from it.
Not exsactly what i ment kinda like u speed up there travel time
Oh. Still against it though for same reasoning. A paying player could cap a city almost instantly. Plus how'd you like it if you had 10 hours to prepare for an attack but then it suddenly dropped to 2 hours
That would suck but at the same time it wiuld make it more exciting
Then the game would be even more unfair for those who don't have the money to buy speed ups. Pay to win will ruin a game.
I agree with fire820 and mosser it's good idea and that but still it's bit unfair
This would make it so unfair for people in a guild war vs a paying guild

Gloryhole Confessions 2
Before going to Confession you're supposed to make a review of your sins, express sorrow for your sins and resolve not to sin again. These nasty little sluts may have good intentions, but you know what they say 'Once a whore, always a whore!' So when the guys they thought were priests heard their tawdry tales they knew that there was no salvation for these naughty tramps, so they decided to shove their hard cocks through the confessional hole to see if these nasty sinners would suck them off to heavenly bliss! Well guess what? Every single one of them got sprayed in their sinful faces with huge loads of righteous cum!

If you are looking for something a bit more affordable, between the GeForce GTX 470 at $250 and the GeForce GTX 570 at $350 there is a $100 price gap with no real contenders -- at least until AMD launched their new $299 Radeon HD 6950 graphics card.
At this price point, the Radeon HD 6950 has no direct competition, but we'll be keeping a close eye on how it compares to the GTX 470 and 570 and whether it makes more sense to scale down or up to get better value.
Read the complete review.
