When folk icon Irving Steinbloom passed away, he left behind a legacy of music and a family of performers he has shepherded to folk stardom. To celebrate a life spent submerged in folk, Irving's loving son Jonathan has decided to put together a memorial concert featuring some of Steinbloom's best-loved musicians. There's Mitch and Mickey, who were the epitome of young love until their partnership was torn apart by heartbreak; classic troubadours The Folksmen, whose records were endlessly entertaining for anyone able to punch a hole in the center to play them; and The New Main Street Singers, the most meticulously color-coordinated "neuftet" ever to hit an amusement park. Now for one night only in New York City's Town Hall, these three groups will reunite and gather together to celebrate the music that almost made them famous.

For the second straight year, two Nationals were selected during the MLB phase of the Rule 5 draft — LHP Danny Rosenbaum and 2B Jeff Kobernus.
Rosenbaum was selected third by the Colorado Rockies. Colorado Rockies blog Purple Row describes the selection:
Rosenbaum will compete for a bullpen job vacated by Matt Reynolds. Josh Outman had been penciled in as the second lefty in the bullpen, joining Rex Brothers, but this move allows Outman to start, or for Colorado to have three lefties in their pen.
Kobernus was taken seventh by the Boston Red Sox, then subsequently traded to the Detroit Tigers for 28-year-old AAA utilityman Justin Henry. Not coincidentally, Tigers GM Dave Dombrowski was quoted via MLB.com's Justin Beck:
We not only like his ability to play second, but we think that perhaps — and he hasn't really done much of it — he could have some versatility where we might be able to move him to the outfield and get some playing time there
In the 1st round of the AAA phase, the Red Sox "struck" again by taking Boston native Jack McGeary, while Hector Nelo was taken by the Los Angeles Dodgers in the second round. Unlike the MLB phase, these players do not have to be offered back to the original club.
McGeary had Tommy John surgery in 2010 and has only pitched 25⅓ innings in 2011 and 2012 — all but 7⅔ innings in the GCL. He was originally drafted in the 6th round of the 2007 draft.
Nelo was signed as a minor-league free agent in April 2011 after being released by the Texas Rangers. While capable of throwing in the triple digits, the 26-year-old Miami-born Floridian had a radar-gun strike zone, meaning the higher the number the more likely it was a ball if the batter did not swing.
As expected, the Nationals did not make any picks in the MLB phase. A slight surprise: They also passed in the AAA and AA phases as well.
The 2012 Watchlist has been updated to reflect the selections.
26 Responses to "Rule 5: Who Went"
Pitching will definitely be thin in the farms now. Time to make that Morse trade and start to restock pitching.
or more likely, go and grab a slew of minor league free agent SPs.
They'll need to have a reserve of at least 4 guys in Syracuse to cover the inevitable dings
paging Ramon Ortiz
Maya, Roark, Meyers, Mandel, and Garcia seem like a pretty good set of right-handers … possibly joined by Perry Ryan, if they could make that happen then they would have a duo of power pitchers ready to roll if needed.
The weakness appears to be in the LHSP department further exacerbated by the loss of Rosenbaum.
I expect that's what they'll try to acquire for AAA and AA perhaps?
My predictions, Rosenbaum will be back Kobernus will not. I think not protect Kobernus was a big mistake, especially with open 40 man spots, anyone with his speed, defense has the potential to be a mjor league player(not to mention he has a pretty good hit tool)
He's also at strong team leader … and so the Nats probably would have protected him except for:
He has yet to have an injury free season. He lost an entire season at one point due to injury.
And Anthony Rendon's former teammate at Rice, Rick Hague is still there. Plus Zach Walters.
Also not protecting Nelo from the AAA part of the Rule V draft was amazingly dumb. relivers who can throw 100 ALWAYS have value(Hell, Nelo throws more strikes than Henry, and were keeping Henry in the MLB bullpen?)
Injury risk again at least that's my understanding. Guys who throw 100 mph and are injury risks are usually well risky?
The Nats like going for injured pitching but only the kind of injuries they know aren't permanent and in the case of TJ can actually improve the pitcher for a time afterward.
The Nats farm system just got even more thin, runway-model thin, and no chance of replenishing anytime soon.
We needed the depth that the minor league portion of the draft took away. If there are a lot of injuries next year at any level, it could get ugly.
They've got position players they can trade to replenish. The question is will they rely on close-to-major league ready players instead of the young prospects they promoted to fill utility roles?
They'll wait for teams to get really desperate for players like Lombo and Moore and then strike while the iron is hot.
Obviously there was a fair chance that there wouldn't be a ML slot for Jeff any time soon, but it does seem like this one does create a need for a FA signing or two to fill out the minor league teams. Is Sean Nicol the only 2B we now have with AA or AAA experience?
I guess you previously answered my question. I went back to your post talking about our candidates and who might be protected, and noticed that you had already called out that they had signed Will Rhymes as a FA, and that might presage that they realized the Kobernus might be lost, at least for awhile.
Will Rhymes was signed to a minor league contract and has played in the bigs with both Detroit and Tampa.
How long does a MLB team control its draftees? As I understand it, a 19-year old or older draftee is eligible for Rule 5 when the 4th Rule 5 draft occurs after he's drafted. If he's not drafted in Rule 5 draft, how long until he's a free agent? Is it 6 years of control?
The six year contract works out to 7 seasons from the time you sign.
Turns out to be a real problem with International prospects who are often signed at age 16. They end up becoming free agents just when they start to get good. I think Carlos Rivero might be an example of that.
How it works out is that guys who started in 2007 will be FA's next years, this years FA's were players who started in 06
Wow, lots of pessimism over losing these 4 players…
I'll admit I was really pissed when I first saw the names of who got picked, but the more I thought about it, the less important it seemed in the grand scheme. This is just what happens to good teams; we get our prospects poached and at the same time we no longer need to rely on the Levale Speigner's of the world… It is disappointing to lose someone like McGeary after all the hype and investment, but would he have contributed in the Bigs this year? No, it's more likely Bill Bray 2.0 will prove more valuable for the Nats than McGeary ever would have. Similarly, losing Rosenbaum, Kobernus, and Nelo hurts Minor League depth even more, but would a package of those three yielded a Gio Gonzalez -like trade? The answer is unequivocally no, otherwise we would have used them to acquire Denard Span. So as long as the front office continues to effectively evaluate talent and draft well the organization will continue to thrive. I wish all four of these guys nothing but future success, but I would certainly prefer that success to come back in a Nats uniform.

(BlackDoctor.org) — The National Medical Association (NMA) in conjunction with the National Black Caucus of State Legislators (NCBSL) will host the Thirteenth National Colloquium on African American Health on March 24th – 27th, in Washington, DC.
The 2012 theme, All Advocacy is Local: The Roadmap to Health Equity, captures the focus of the NMA on equipping its State and Local Societies to increase their health advocacy action across the country. NMA continues to assert itself as the major force for health equity in the United States by creating forums, like the colloquium, which foster effective dialogue between physicians, advocates, state officials and federal entities as they seek to address the unique health policy challenges that face the nation.
"The NMA continues to exert leadership in the area of health policy and to advocate for pressing issues for all US citizens but particularly vulnerable populations with rampant health disparities," stated Cedric Bright, MD NMA President. "NMA doctors take care of patients on a day to day basis but we realize that physicians must also take an active role in advocacy from the White House to the State House and in our local jurisdictions. Our13th Annual Health Policy Colloquium continues to equip the physicians and leaders who attend with the tools to be effective health advocates."
This year's NMA Annual Health Policy Colloquium occurs at a pivotal time in this nation's history. The United States Supreme Court will be hearing oral arguments on the Affordable Care Act during the Colloquium week, and the planned Colloquium agenda will feature sessions discussing topics relevant to this historic debate.

1st Opening for "Eureka Seven AO"
Awesome song!
one of the best song they release
I really enjoyed this song.
OH NO ITS TOO SHORT!! DX lmao i know them cuz of the song "by my side" :3
i like it cool PV too~
are they korean?
I wonder if Jpopasia is disabling adding of lyrics for now kana?
LOL, I was singing the song when I realized I missed translating
Sou, mou nakanai yo (So don't cry anymore)
Kitto kotae wa jibun dakara sa (Surely, the answer would be yourself)
In this wind, my tears dried up
I will take up speed until I wither away
I'll get over it
The answer is definitely beyond the that far off sky
as I cannot find the answer here
I sighed while looking at the sky
Shining within the light that's dyed in blue
I can go anywhere, I can see my dream
Its mine after all
In this wind, My heart is carried away
I want it to reach you this instant
Until I run out of words
I will sing
As this is proof that I exist
Though my heart would end up withering away
As there are nights where my tears flow
I should not burden myself for dreams are always too heavy
At a time that I want to give up
What would be a good song to sing?
Look to the shining sky
Stretch out both your hands
In this wind, My heart is carried away
My stretched out hands draws in tomorrow
There is no longer any need to be afraid
After the tears
Its be dyed in colors
And I'll be flying across that sky
Note: I can't add my translation but anyway, I'm still no good but here you go XD
The song's pretty catchy nee~ when I 1st heard the song I was like 'Yup dis is a hemenway song~' >o<
Wooooh! Rocking! Love them!
This song makes me want "escape". It's divinely uplifting.

Lorde made history Sunday night at the 2014 MTV Video Music Awards. The young New Zealand singer became the first female solo artist to win in the category of Best Rock Video in the award's history. The 17-year-old won for her song "Royals" and beat out rock bands Linkin Park, Imagine Dragons, Arctic Monkeys, and The Black Keys. Although Lorde accepted the award dressed like a rock star, there has been some backlash because the song itself is not really considered to be "rock".
Lorde still received the award with little surprise and excitement on her face, despite winning in a category that doesn't fit her music. In accepting the award she was a little confused about where to look. She asked, "Is there like a specific place I'm supposed to be looking?" She then expressed how "grateful" she was and then had to apologize for swearing after she thanked her high school classmates who appeared in the video.
Although fans were happy the young singer took home an award, there was backlash from some rock fans, expressing some confusion as to why Lorde was even nominated in the category. Mathew Coyte, editor-in-chief of Australian Rolling Stone summed up that confusion and tried to explain why she would even be put in a category that doesn't necessarily fit her music.
He said:
'Royals' is by no means a rock song by anyone's definition, it's a electronic track. It seems odd that it wasn't in a category against Katy Perry and Ariana Grande. It seems like they wanted to give [Lorde] an award and Ariana Grande an award and decided to put her in rock."
The VMAs, however, aren't the only awards show that put "Royals" in the category of rock. Lorde won the best rock category at the 2014 Billboard Music Awards as well. There seems to be a broad and loose definition of rock these days. But it was still good to see Lorde recognized for her music.

The Base
The different options of wire comb, elastic loops or Velcro are best consulted with your hair hairstylist. Depending on the type of hair style chosen they will almost always have a preference to the type of base being used.
Is there a big difference between a plastic comb and a wire comb?
Most definitely! Ask most hairstylists and they will tell you there is a huge difference between the two! The wire comb will always anchor into the hair more securely and with less bulk. It can also be removed more easily without messing up your hairdo. It can also be anchored into place with additional bobby pins, something impossible to do with a thick and slippery plastic comb.
Here is a quick run down of the base options:
Wire Comb: Ideal when placing the veil at the top of the head. Also suitable when worn at the back of the head below an updo
Elastic Loops: Perfect to place around any bun shaped updo as the elastic will allow your hairstylist to conform the veil to the shape of the updo.
Velcro: If you have an existing headpiece that has a Velcro attachment, simply send me the measurement of the Velcro and whether you have the hook or loop side and I would be happy to put your The Flirty Bride veil onto the opposing side of Velcro so that you can simply attach it to the headpiece.

Beaded Veils
Should I add beads to my veil? When advising brides I always offer suggestion based on the theory that less is more. If their gown already has beads on it, they probably don't need to add more to the veil. The sparkle will shine right through the tulle of the veil. Beads can always be added to the part of a floor length veil that extends beyond the train. Adding a fully beaded veil to a beaded gown looks best for very formal evening weddings.
Each individual bead is handsewn with invisible nylon thread. There is no visible thread or thread ends giving your veil a beautiful couture finish!
Why pay more for hand-beading?:
Gluing beads to a veil most often leaves visible clumps or globs of glue surrounding each bead. It will also leave drag marks if beads slip and roll across the fabric before the glue has dried. If you are sentimental and want to save your veil in the hopes it will become a cherished family heirloom, handsewn beads withstand the cleaning process better and hold up better in storage as glue yellows and darkens over time.
Hand Beaded Floor Length Veils

Many brides are now choosing not to wear a blusher as they take their big stroll down the aisle. That's o.k. so long as you aren't having a formal church wedding that frowns upon exposed shoulders. If this is the case then a blusher is subtle compromise that will at least cover your shoulders on the way down the aisle, if not on the way back up.
I also encourage all brides to have their photographer take at least one close-up of them with the blusher pulled forward. It makes for a beautifully romantic portrait...
Ceremony Only?
Do I have to wear a veil at my reception is one of the most often asked questions I hear. You don't have to do anything, but keep in mind that your photographer will be taking pictures throughout your reception: the toast, the first dance, the bouquet toss, so you may want to keep your veil on at least through the cake cutting.
Many photographers over the years have told me they prefer the veil left on during the reception as it gives the finished wedding album a nice flow and continuity if you look the same from the first to final page. Otherwise you may go from looking like the "Bride" at your ceremony to looking like "the girl in the white dress" at your reception.
Another point in favor of keeping the veil on is that if your hair is pinned up the veil softly frames your face and looks beautiful in pictures... A well cut veil is very photogenic!
White is a beautiful bright white only used with synthetic fabrics. Silk is never this shade of bright white.
Shimmer white is the same bright shade of white described above but has a bright sheen that makes it sparkle.
Diamond White is the most popular shade of veils. A bit warmer then white but not as yellow as ivory. It is the color of white silk. Also known by the names candle lit white and silk white. I often have brides with ivory gowns order diamond white as it is a more complementary color with most complexions, and close enough to ivory that it doesn't clash with an ivory gown.
Shimmer Diamond White is the same beautiful color as the diamond white described above but has a bright sheen that makes it sparkle.
Ivory is a true ivory. It has a more yellow color to it and is sometimes offered in different shades.
Shimmer Ivory is a slightly lighter shade then the one listed above. It has a shiny finish to it and is a nice accent with a plain gown that needs to be dressed up a bit.
Edged Veils
To edge or not to edge that is the question: It is strictly my personal preference but I prefer the plain cut edge veil to those with edge treatments. I like the veil to be as light and ethereal in appearance as possible, and the moment an edge is added it loses this quality as the shape is now defined by the lines the edging creates.
The gowns most appropriate to wear an edged veil with are those with no embellishments. That's right. No beads, embroidery or lace. The edging then becomes the embellishment to the gown, instead of competing with the lace, embroidery or beading already on the gown.
1. My most popular veils are the waist and mid-hip lengths.
2. In most instances longer is more formal then shorter.
How long should it be? The veil should fall a minimum of 3" below the back neckline of your gown. You will appear taller and it looks more stylish if there is no break showing exposed skin between the veil and the top of the gown. Illustrated below.
Embellishments on the back of your gown? The veil will complement your gown best if it falls 3" above or below any detail work on the back of your gown such as silk flowers or a bow at the waist or the bottom of where a corseted back or a bodice embellished with lace or embroidery ends. Illustrated below.
Floor length veils look best when they are either the same length as the train of the gown, or a minimum of 20" beyond the hem or train of the gown.
Length Chart: Please keep in mind that the names of these lengths are approximations and will vary depending on the height of each individual bride. It is the length of your torso, for instance being long or short waisted, which will effect where the veil falls to. Keep in mind that it is the back of your gown that determines the best length to complement your gown.
Nylon or Silk
I often have clients ask me about silk tulle veils. While silk tulle sounds elegant and romantic it is actually stiffer then nylon tulle and has a heavier netting look as the individual fibers are spaced further apart then the nylon bridal illusion. Silk tulle should also be finished on the edge as it will fray over time.
Another major factor to consider is a dramatic cost difference. Silk tulle runs $300 a yard. And that is only the cost of the tulle, not any of the labor to cut, sew or edge the veil.
Cost aside my preference has always been for nylon illusion as it has a much more delicate and light appearance.
top of page
Veil Worn at Top of the Head
Hair Up: If you are wearing your hair in an updo the veil or headpiece will be most secure if you anchor it on a wire comb directly in front of the updo. Illustrated below.
Back of the Head
Hair Up: When placing the veil beneath an updo on the back of the head either a small comb or elastic loops are preferable to a regular comb.
The small comb tucks into the hair nicely and can be anchored with one or two bobby pins.
The elastsic loops are pinned into place conforming to the exact shape of the hairstyle.
As seen in the third illustration, the length of a standard comb does not conform to the shape of the headpiece, which leaves an awkward looking gap between the two.
Hair Down: When wearing a veil at the top of the head the comb needs something to anchor into. If you are fortunate enough to be working with a professional hairstylist they will know what needs to be done.
If you are on your own, here is a suggestion: Create 2 flat pin curls twisting your own hair into place. From the front slip the comb beneath them as illustrated below.
Remember that accessories are just that. They are meant to accent your bridal gown, not overpower it. Afer working as a custom - couture accessory designer in the Greater San Francisco Bay Area for the past 11 years, I have learned that a clean refined look will always be elegant. Too many details will look overdone at best and costumish and silly at worst.

On December 31, Charlaine Harris ended the year by ending rumors that have been going around the internet lately.
To end these rumors she went to her Facebook page to squash several rumors including one that she will be collaborating with "True Blood" writers to clean up and help end season seven of the HBO show that is based on her "Southern Vampire Series".
Many fans had commented on previous posts about her collaborating with "True Blood" writers to help them "fix" the tv show and it end like the book or at least let it end "better".
This is what she said:
"Let me squash a rumor or two here: I am not writing, or involved in planning, the last season of "True Blood." I do not know how this got started. I am not writing another Sookie novel. Also, anyone who wants to know what I'm reading can find out what I've read for the past few years by visiting my website, which is simply charlaineharris.com. Click on Books and Blog. I love to recommend books I've enjoyed!"
As most fans know, the HBO show is not based entirely on the books. The first three seasons were close but after that it pretty much went it's own way totally. It is no secret that Ms. Harris has been very mum on her opinion of the show ( well ostly but I won't get into that here).
But, many fans who love the book hate the show and vice versa. One fan said that they see it as two "different stories" and go on with it.
Well, either way, Ms. Harris ended her book series in 2013 and the television show is set to end this summer of 2014.

Dave Kaufman was not yet Head of School while Seibert was a student, but he said his death has sent shockwaves through the Winter Sports School community. The first Kaufman heard of Seibert's death was through a post on Facebook by Alex Schlopy, a former student and friend of Seibert.
"Unfortunately, I did not know Seibert personally," Kaufman said. "But every time we lose a member of the family, whether I've met them or not, it shakes people up and it's a sad time."
Park City resident Hughes Martin was devastated by the news of Seibert's death. The enthusiastic skier lived with the Martins for a year while attending the Winter Sports School. Martin's son Carter also attended the school, which is geared for competitive snow sport athletes, and they became fast friends. Martin said the boys also shared a special connection both were twins.
"They hit it off immediately. He was outgoing and liked by many kids in Park City. He really understood what we were about; he got it," Martin said.
Seibert was in a group with three others when the avalanche hit, and the others who were not identified were rescued and treated for minor injuries, The Denver Post reported.

In my other life, the one I lead in the business world, I've been involved with or close to the acquisition of several services companies by a larger one. And I have to say, they have always been a bit of a train wreck. Such mergers, acquisitions, or significant ownership stakes always look great on paper, but invariably, when it comes to the real world, rubber meets the road stuff of integration, more often than not, it's a disaster.
These disasters seem to arise from one of two main areas: cultural conflicts between the two companies, and/or differing priorities on how to run the business between the old ownership and the new. Quite often it's both.
Three pieces of recent news in the wine world have got me wondering if the same is true in the wine world sometimes.
The first two bits of news were the acquisition of Kosta Browne winery for what seems like staggeringly high figure of $40 million, and the separate acquisition of the Betts and Scholl wine brand for $3 million. Both events, of course, are wonderful validations of the hard work that the owners put into their brands, and their talents as producers. But they also prompt the question, what happens now?
For some owners, the answer to that question might be academic. If the sale is an exit strategy that pays off a lot of hard work, the event might be accompanied by a sigh of relief and an extended vacation. But there are lots of reasons for the sale of a business, and not all of them involve an easy exit (physically or mentally) for the founders or current owners.
In some cases, the terms of the sale involve the owners staying on for a while, or even permanently. Which brings me to the third bit of news. Havens Winery was purchased in 2006 and at first its owner and founder Michael Havens was slated to stay on and continue doing what he had always done. But 18 months later Havens made his exit citing what might be charitably described as "differences of opinion" with the new ownership.
And then earlier this week, the owners, Billington Imports, "all but pulled the plug" on Havens winery according to a story in Wine Industry Insight. This announcement comes after the financially troubled firm purportedly missed lease payments and permit payments earlier in the summer.
This is all quite a shame. Havens was a unique, solid producer of good wines. Billington owns several other wine brands, most notably Chasseur. Certainly the current state of the economy has played a role in the unfortunate end of this wine brand, but something else is at work here too, which I suspect resembles the phenomena that I've observed outside the wine industry.
It's a serious bummer to see what has happened to Havens, and I hope that things go much better for Betts and Scholl and Kosta Browne. Certainly there must be examples of winery acquisitions that produce triumphs rather than tragedies. But like the nightly news, we tend to hear more about, and dwell on the unfortunates.
I'd like to know what you think, especially you readers who are in the business. A note, however, before you post comments. I gather that there are probably a lot of bad feelings associated with the Havens shutdown, so if you're an interested (or even just opinionated) party, please no mudslinging.

Just as the title says, I can drag my mouse over to my secondary monitor while playing some games. Not all games. For example, I am currently playing GTA 3 (practicing for a speedrun which makes everything 5x annoying) and I when I drag too far to the left, my cursor is showing on the other screen, but I am still in control of the camera ingame. If I then click, the game minimizes. Yes, I am running the game in fullscreen.
I have this problem when playing borderless (windowed fullscreen) in League of Legends aswell. But when I switch to "normal" fullscreen, it's fine.
I am also running Win7 64bit if that's any help. Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

Lady Gaga Fake Hotel Death Report Returns
Lady Gaga death rumors have returned again.
This is the third time there's a fake "BBC" report about the performer being found dead in her hotel room that's made its way across Facebook and Twitter.
She is NOT dead.
It's a hoax, like previous ones.
Just like recent social media-fueled death hoaxes about Eddie Murphy and others, this Gaga report should be ignored.
Hopefully whoever gets a kick out of inventing stories about celebrities "dying" will move on to something else.

The State Department of Health announced Monday that the agency has identified mosquitoes infected with West Nile Virus in two Indiana counties.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is reporting that a total of 22 states in the United States have had confirmed cases of West Nile virus, including Indiana. However, there have only been cases of the virus in humans in half a dozen of those states, and Indiana is not one of them.
Indiana's health department has, however, found mosquitoes infected with the West Nile Virus in the northern county of Marshall and in the southern county of Pike.
According to the agency, symptoms of a milder form of West Nile Virus include fever, headache, body aches, a rash or swollen lymph glands.
The virus can also cause a more severe form of the disease, which can lead to paralysis, meningitis, encephalitis, other neurological syndromes – and even death.
Individuals at greatest risk for contracting the more severe form of the virus are those age 50 and older, but anyone at any age can become infected.
There are ways to prevent becoming infected with the West Nile Virus. It starts with preventing mosquito bites in the first place, using insect repellent whenever you go outside. It's also wise to find out if there is any West Nile Virus activity where you live.
If possible, try to wear long sleeves, long pants and socks before venturing outdoors. Spraying your clothes with insect repellent also helps since mosquitoes can bite through clothing that is too thin.
Repellents containing DEET, picaridin, IR3535, lemon eucalyptus oil and para-menthane-diol products are known for providing the longest-lasting protection.
You should also report any dead birds to state and local health departments, as the West Nile Virus is known to circulate between dead birds and mosquitoes.

I have a friend who comes to Dallas twice a year to eat. She used to live here, but now she lives in a small town in Pennsylvania where Yelpers dole out four stars to Applebee's. She arrives hungry for Thai and Indian food because in another life she lived in Thailand and India. We had a nifty bottle of Prosecco in the fridge, so we toted it to the BYOB-friendly place formerly known as Jasmine Thai II in Plano, one of the two locations of the family-owned business. Monday Night Football and a welcome rainstorm must have kept people home (this spot is usually jumping). And perhaps the lack of business contributed to the lack of consistency in the dishes we picked.

That part alone hits every single branch on the way down out of the superstition tree.
I'm not sure you've quite understood the point I was trying to get across. Those are religious concepts, but not necessarily superstitious ones. As per my definition, they do not arise from fear, misunderstanding of biology, etc. They are taught to a person and incorporated into their lives, like any other cultural phenomenon.
One can believe in the virgin birth without being superstitious because it is taught to one as something
. --Well, is it
that you could have a virgin birth? But that was never in question; it happened, and that's that. Sort of like criticizing Zeus' ability to fire lightning bolts by saying, "No one can do that; it's ridiculous to even think about it." You'd have missed the point at any rate.
Well certainly there are all manner of things that I cannot rule out. We have yet to observe omnipotence or omniscience in nature. That doesn't mean that they don't exist. But that also means that we don't have good reasons to think that they do.
So if one were to suggest that we should accept those claims without observing them in nature, then they must remain supernatural constructs until such time that we can move them into the "natural" column.
And, obviously, the burden of proof is on the person making the claim in the mean time.
I have absolutely no clue what "evidence for the omnipotence" of God in nature is supposed to mean. There is a religious mythology which includes a God which can do anything it wants, i.e, omnipotence. The closest thing I can come to within that religion is the existence of the universe - often a favorite among theologians - but that is obviously not scientific evidence of any sort. But this sort of investigation is the wrong direction to look in.
God is often said, for example, in Psalms to be almighty. There's a tendency to take this at face value, though, which would be simply wrong. Reading the whole of Psalms, you discover it is a book of praise from ancient times, similar to how a supplicant might address their Emperor. "Oh almighty Caesar, with such purply robes and esteemed forehead...."
And we're to take such a thing as if it were to mean that Caesar is an omnipotent being? Not only that, but we want to find
evidence for the hypothesis
that Caesar is an omnipotent being? You see my point.
Incidentally, St. Anselm was guilty of this exact mistake when he formulated his ontological argument. The Psalms were written long enough before he came around that he was able to pass over (accidentally, I'm sure) what was actually being said in them and create metaphysics where there was none.
As per above, I'm still not seeing it.
Locomotion is rampant throughout the animal kingdom. Many species are capable of bi-pedal locomotion. There is a naturalistic explanation for why it is that you can walk, run, waltz, tango, break-dance, etc. Surely it is amazing in the same way that our opposable thumbs allow us to efficiently utilize tools. You are right to say there is nothing "unnatural" here.
But where is the rationale for omnipotence? Where do we see vestigial parts in the evolutionary chain of history? We don't. It's...supernatural. One "being" alone allegedly possesses this trait (depending on who you ask) and we have absolutely zero evidence that any of it is true.
You're saying that christians don't have to believe in the supernatural to be christians. My question is, how in the heck can you still call them christians if you take away all the christian doctrine? What is left?
You're treating Christianity as if it were something other than what it is: religious teaching. I'm sure you know how people come to believe in it as well as I do. Why equate that with information gleaned from more modern rationalistic methodologies?
There are two ways to treat any subject of knowledge. Either you can look at it subjectively, i.e, in this case through the eyes of the believer, or objectively, i.e., study what causes people to say what they do in order to understand what it means for them to say it.
You ask what the rationale is for God's omnipotence. Here's the objective treatment: that's how it is in Christianity. You can poke around and find reasons why this is so from a nearly unlimited supply of theologians, the influence of Aristotle on Christian thought in the middle ages, interpretations of Biblical passages, from the history of the Jewish people and their religion, from how their culture was in antiquity and how it changed through time.
Now compare this with your "looking for evidence of omnipotence". You're interested in getting to the truth of the matter, undoubtedly. But if that's so, then your questions should not ignore your knowledge of modern-day religion as a long-running historical and sociological phenomenon. Doing so would be similar to making the mistake Anselm did: extracting a word from natural discourse and divorcing it completely from the original context, and then becoming confused at why it was so hard to justify.
I agree with you completely that Christians believe in the supernatural. I just don't see that belief in the supernatural entails superstition. Modern Christianity has changed so much - I'm sure others would say, "insulated itself against criticism" - that belief in it does not necessitate belief in magic or what-have-you. The common idea that "nothing bad can ever really happen to me as long as I believe in God" is not contradicted by getting into a car accident.
Surely an omnipotent being would be able to do something to convince you, Mr. Dravis. Even my skepticism doesn't go that far.
I'm sure it could persuade me. But it couldn't
to me that it was God, in the sense that doubt would be logically excluded. Once you start proving/giving evidence for things, doubt always enters the equation as a matter of conceptual necessity in English.
I understand but these are all horrible reasons for belief. They are understandable reasons, but that doesn't excuse that they are horrible reasons.
Horrible reasons for what? Yes, they're quite horrible reasons for believing in some
. Touchyfeely nonsense, that would be. But my point with those paragraphs was that a religious conviction does not necessarily arise from reasoning, nor is it necessarily dependent upon reasoning. It's just something that people do.
As such, I direct you back to your own source:
"a belief or practice resulting from ignorance, fear of the unknown, trust in magic or chance, or a false conception of causation"
Unless I'm missing something, christianity is superstition per your source and your argument above.
My personal experience with being Christian when I was younger fit none of the above. I was taught religion, that's it.
Okay, and how is this not special pleading?
I did give you reasons not to consider religion and religious statements as if they were some sort of science. Just the way both ideas are learned should demonstrate that they're obviously not.
Per my arguments above, I maintain that you might be missing the point. The argument is not that superstition is a necessary component of christianity. The argument is that christianity is itself superstition. Their is no duality to separate and contemplate individually.
Okay, I'm just trying to make this clear again: I am not, and have not, attempted to argue that all of Christianity is unsuperstitious.
I merely disagreed with the label of superstition for Christianity because a social practice is not necessarily superstitious, even if it includes supernatural elements. I attempted to show how this is possible by giving you a different idea of how people "learn" their religion, or are converted into it. The reasons people may enter into a religion may not fit the definition of being superstitious. They do not have to be ignorant of science or logic, they do not have to be afraid of the unknown, they do not have to trust in magic or chance, they do not have to have a wrongheaded idea of causation-- and they can still accept something like Christianity. Why? Because it is not
a replacement for the other ideas we may already have. It's a way to live your life-- something additional.
these mythological stories and they provide background and direction to their lives. They don't necessarily
those beliefs to come to any actual difference between the course of their life and that of an atheist's.
Again, I am open to seeing arguments to the contrary, but in the mean time I maintain that if you attempt to remove the superstition from christianity you will find that there is nothing left after you are finished (you may have some nice stories promoting securlar humanism, but that's it).
Thanks for the interesting discussion, Mr. Dravis.
I'm not interested in removing the supernatural from Christianity, I'm merely pointing out that belief in Christianity is not necessarily superstition. Thanks to you, also.

Pac-12 Media Day Central | PHOTO ALBUM - Stanford Women's Basketball at Pac-12 Media Day | Pac-12 Media Day Quotes - Stanford
DANNA: New music video for Stanford women's basketball in the works
For the second straight year Pac-12 Studios hosted Women's Basketball Media Day in San Francisco, and for the second year running Setsuko Ishiyama Director of Women's Basketball Tara VanDerveer and forward Chiney Ogwumike represented the Cardinal.
For Ogwumike the event started Wednesday night as the conference hosted a dinner for the 12 players and team communication directors at Puccini & Pinetti in San Francisco. The dinner served as an opportunity for the players and staff to reconvene and relax before the start of a new campaign.
Thursday began bright and early as the coaches and players bussed to Pac-12 Studios from their hotel, eventually gathering for group photos at 9 a.m. The Pac-12 also opened the day by announcing its 2013 Preseason Coaches Poll, in which 13-time defending Pac-12 champion Stanford received the maximum 11 first-place votes to top the voting for a 14th straight season. From there the 24 individuals spent the next seven hours moving from one station of the day's circuit to another.
The stops included photo shoots, filming promos for the upcoming season of Pac-12 Network coverage, and chats with Pac-12 officials. Throughout breaks in the movement Ogwumike and VanDerveer had the opportunity to speak with numerous members of the Pac-12 Network on-air and productions staffs as well as members of the local and national media.
Representing ESPN at the event were college basketball analysts Kara Lawson and Rebecca Lobo, while from print and online outlets national Associated Press women's basketball writer Doug Feinberg and espnW writer Michelle Smith attended along with Bay Area fixtures Janie McCauley (Associated Press), Elliott Almond (San Jose Mercury News), Tom Fitzgerald (San Francisco Chronicle) and Rick Eymer (Palo Alto Weekly).
Also taking part in conversations and Q&A sessions were Pac-12 women's basketball commentators Mary Murphy, Anne Marie Anderson, Tammy Blackburn and Ann Schatz.
Just before lunch, VanDerveer and Ogwumike joined the Pac-12 Network's Ashley Adamson and former Stanford standout and Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Year Rosalyn Gold-Onwude live in studio to discuss the upcoming season.
The day ended late in the afternoon as VanDerveer and Ogwumike took part in a roundtable discussion with the assembled media, talking about the Cardinal's chances to return to the Final Four for the sixth time in seven seasons as well as the fight for a 14th straight conference title in the increasingly competitive Pac-12.
Stanford will see its first action of the year in a Nov. 3 exhibition against Vanguard at Maples Pavilion, then officially opens the campaign on the East Coast, taking on Boston College Saturday, Nov. 9 and defending national champion Connecticut Monday, Nov. 11 at 4 p.m. PT on ESPN2.

We posted the WordPress 3.3 scope back in July and today we're here to give you a short update of where 3.3 now stands. It seems like the final release has been moved from November 15th to the 29th, but the good news is that we can expect the first beta tomorrow!
There's quite a lot of work involved in the 3.3 milestone and it seems like most of the tickets have been closed now. The project schedule has been updated according to the new timelines and the final release is now expected to be at the end of November. Ryan Boren posted a note on the current status with 3.3 and it seems like everything's going as planned, except for the "responsive admin" feature which has partially been moved to 3.4.
The feature pointers are still lacking some styling work and as Ryan mentioned, they'll probably be for core only use in 3.3, oh well, we can wait! The good news is that Joost de Valk has started playing around with feature pointers in his plugins too, providing valuable feedback to the core team.
Jane Wells has also posted a very interesting article about usability and WordPress where she explains how the 3.3 pre-beta usability testing has been done and a great deal of information about UI/UX testing in general.
That's about it for today folks! We'll hopefully ride the first 3.3 beta tomorrow and provide some feedback over the weekend or next week. Stay tuned to the WordPress Development Blog for the announcement of the beta release and once you do have a couple of free hours, do give it a try and don't forget to report bugs :) Thanks for reading and following us on Twitter!

Stargirl Theme of Friendship
In Stargirl, we see a beautiful example of a real friendship between Dori and Stargirl. Many people jump on the Stargirl bandwagon on her rise to popularity, but these people are the first to jump off on her descent. Even the friendship between Leo and Kevin, which is pretty good, pales in comparison to the friendship between Dori and Stargirl. So, what makes Dori such an awesome friend? Well, probably several things, but one is that she is 100% loyal. This girl always has her friend's back. Even when the music group that Stargirl attempts to make becomes a joke to the rest of the school, Dori is playing the ukulele by her side. Dori is her friend's cheerleader, even when that means she cheers alone. What do you think is the most important quality in a friend?
Questions About Friendship
- What examples of friendships do we see in this novel? Which ones are the strongest? The weakest?
- Are Leo and Stargirl friends?
- What does "friendship" mean to Stargirl? What does it mean to Leo? Do their definitions match or clash?
- What makes Dori a wonderful friend? What makes Kevin less than a wonderful friend?
Chew on This
Stargirl's relationships with others illustrate the fact that it is far better to have one true friend than to have hundreds of cronies.
In Stargirl friendship is about loyalty and love far more than it is about having things in common.

More information:More about 2Ton Predator
More Reviews Current Updates Print article Rating explanation
"Demon Dealer", the third album of the Swedes 2TON PREDATOR has something going. I do only know the two previous albums from their titles, so I cannot say, if the band managed to get better, but the latest output has something. Neo-Thrash of the PANTERA brand during "Cowboys From Hell" times and THE HAUNTED is what the men have out onto their banner.
There are enough travelling vagabonds of this species, but 2TON PREDATOR definitely are among the spearhead of this direction. Seriously, it's been quite some time since I have heard such catchy riff attacks combined with good shout choruses. The four folks also don't let their musical steam roller rumble along in first gear, but also at times rev it up into fourth gear.
As example in the hefty opener "Slowly Slaughtered" or partly also the following "Pipeyard Killing" the cows fly quite nicely. In the course the band runs a bit out of ideas, meaning that the songs sound a bit more like each other, but after all the CD makes sense for fans of the above mentioned bands. And as with most Neo Thrashers with time the monotonous shout vocals get on my nerves. (Online August 16, 2003)

LG T320 Flick to be launched in Canada
A new LG touchscreen feature phone is about to be launched in Canada: the LG T320.
The handset is already available in other parts of the world under two names: LG Wink 3G and LG Cookie 3G.
In Canada, the T320 is called LG Flick. Its features include 3G, a 2.8 inch QVGA touchscreen display, Cartoon UI, virtual QWERTY keyboard, push email, stereo Bluetooth, 3.5mm headset jack, music player, FM radio, 2MP camera, and MicroSD card support. More details can be found at LG Canada's website.
There's no word on the carrier(s) that will offer the T320 Flick in Canada, and neither on its price. In any case, the phone should be cheaper than the LG Optimus One, which costs $199.99 at Telus (off contract).

Justin Long: The Impression That You Get
More From This Episode
Watch the trailers of Justin's two latest films, A Case of You and Best Man Down.
Although Justin Long is widely known as the smug foil to humorist John Hodgman's downtrodden character in Apple's "Mac Versus PC" commercials, he tends to exude the humble, down-to-earth, everyman in his acting roles. He's gone from playing the geeky comic relief in Ed and Galaxy Quest, to the guy trying to win the girl in romantic comedies like He's Just Not That Into You, and his latest films, A Case of You and Best Man Down. And even in animated works like Alvin and the Chipmunks and King of the Hill, Long channels his charm just from his voice.
Given his friendly on-screen persona, Long told host Ophira Eisenberg that he is often approached on the street by fans of his rom-coms. While women are not afraid to shower him with compliments, his male fans can be more apprehensive. "Anytime a guy would come up to me about [He's Just Not That Into You], they would look around like they were buying crack or about to flash me. "
We discovered that when Long watches the films of director and actor Woody Allen, he feels like he's hanging out with an old friend. So in an Ask Me Another Challenge, we quizzed Long on the man born Allen Stewart Konigsberg. (Hear it here.) We dug deep and asked him to identify some of Allen's movies based on a few signature lines, and as well as his role in a 1967 James Bond spoof. Find out if Long will "take the money and run."

for Health Care Providers
Update on HIV Testing and Patient Consent Issues
Q1: What does this change mean?
HIV testing in the VA used to require that patients get a scripted explanation of HIV testing and sign a form before an HIV test was performed. Once the change takes effect, providers will still discuss HIV testing with patients before testing takes place, but providers will not be required to use standardized, pre-test counseling. Also, patients will give their permission for HIV testing verbally--rather than signing a consent form. (July 16, 2009)
Q2: Why is VA making this change?
To improve Veterans' health care, the VA is bringing its policies on HIV testing in line with recommendations from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The CDC has recommended that all patients be offered HIV testing, regardless of whether they think they are at risk, and that written informed consent for HIV testing not be required. Written informed consent for HIV has been associated with barriers to timely HIV testing and the early diagnosis of HIV. Because early HIV diagnosis is associated with improved medical outcomes, VA would like to offer HIV testing to as many Veterans as possible, and dropping the requirement for written informed consent is part of this process. (July 16, 2009)
Q3: When will this change occur?
The regulation making this change takes effect on August 17, 2009.
Q4: How will consent be obtained once this change happens?
Patients will receive educational materials before giving consent, and their provider will discuss HIV testing with them. If the patient provides verbal consent, his or her provider will document the consent in the chart and order the test. (July 16, 2009)
Q5: How will VA put this change into place?
VA has been preparing for this change for many months. VA clinical providers and staff are being notified by e-mail, in writing, and through the VA's Web site. VA staff will receive new procedures and training materials for HIV testing. (July 16, 2009)
Q6: If I am a patient, can I be tested for HIV without my knowledge or consent?
NO, you cannot be tested without your verbal consent. If you are unconscious or otherwise unable to make decisions about your care, your surrogate (a spouse, relative, or friend who is legally allowed to make decisions on your behalf) will be asked for permission. In an emergency situation, a senior VA clinician can authorize HIV testing of an unconscious patient. (July 16, 2009)
Q7: If I am a patient, can I decline HIV testing?
Yes, the test is completely voluntary. (July 16, 2009)
Q8: If I am a patient, can I be denied care if I refuse HIV testing?
Absolutely not. You always have the right to refuse HIV testing and any other medical test without losing medical benefits or any right to care. (July 16, 2009)
Q9: If patients are no longer provided with standardized pre-test counseling, how can they make informed decisions about HIV testing?
Instead of the standardized pre-test counseling previously offered, patients will be provided with educational materials on HIV and HIV testing. VA also encourages patients to ask providers questions about HIV testing before they give consent. (July 16, 2009)
Q10: If I am a patient, can I withdraw my verbal consent for HIV testing?
Yes. As with any test, you can cancel your consent at any time before the test is performed by telling your provider. (July 16, 2009)
Q11: When VHA changes its policy to permit verbal informed consent rather than written consent for HIV testing, will it be permissible to ask for consent for HIV testing in case of a needlestick or other exposure before a patient undergoes a surgical or other procedure?
No. This practice, referred to as "contingent consent," is not permitted under VA informed consent regulations and policy. Requesting testing or contingent consent in the pre-operative setting may be interpreted as being a condition for receiving appropriate surgical care, and is thus coercive and not ethical. Veterans may not be denied necessary medical care based on HIV status, and Standard Precautions to prevent exposure to blood-borne pathogens should always be employed regardless of the patient's HIV infection status. (July 16, 2009)
Q12: Where can I get more information?
More information can be found on the HIV Testing topic page.

Forward Dana Tyrell re-signed with the Columbus Blue Jackets, agreeing to a one-year, two-way contract, the team announced Monday. Financial terms were not disclosed.
Tyrell, 25, played seven games for the Tampa Bay Lightning last season. He played 63 games for the Springfield Falcons and Syracuse Crunch of the American Hockey League, and had a combined 15 goals and 33 points.
The Blue Jackets acquired Tyrell and defenseman Matt Taormina from the Lightning in March for forwards Dalton Smith and Jonathan Marchessault.
Tyrell, a second-round pick (No. 47) of the Lightning in the 2007 NHL Draft, had seven goals and 24 points in 132 games with Tampa Bay.

Pondering Bonuses: What Will Santa Bring Associates this Year?
Heading into the end of the year, law firm managing partners have an interesting decision to make vis-a-vis associate bonuses. Do they try to match the bonuses given by the leaders — typically such big-name firms as Cravath or Sullivan & Cromwell — and risk angering their clients, many of whom are asking for discounts in these difficult times? Or, with clients in mind, do they reject the traditional bonus game and risk alienating their associates?
It's a dilemma nicely framed this morning by Tony Lin at the New York Law Journal.
According to Lin, year-end bonuses were not commonly a part of associate compensation until the dot-com boom of the late 1990s, when many young lawyers, especially on the coasts, were swapping law-firm gigs for the mad money and stock options of startups. So firms had to ante up to keep bodies in the building. Lin explains that when the dot-com boom ended in 2001, there was an expectation by some firms that the "boom-year" bonus would also die. But it didn't, and ever since, the end-of-the-year bonus has been an expected part of associate compensation.
So what happens now, as the financial meltdown has left many firms struggling to tread water? Some seem to think that firms will continue to pretend it's 2006. "This economy is bad, no question, but it's not catastrophic for us," one BigLaw managing partner told the NYLJ. "It's not a basis to cut associates' pay, which is what getting rid of the bonus would amount to."
But Orrick's Ralph Baxter isn't so sure. Baxter, whose firm laid off 40 lawyers last week, called the current system "not sustainable."
"The market was set up assuming that every associate coming out of law school wanted to work 3,000 hours a year so he could make partner and work 3,000 hours a year for the next 20 years," said Baxter. "Clearly, that's not reality."
LBers, anyone out there heard anything?

"On this date" in New Orleans Saints history - Aug. 21 - a spotlight on the Saints to start your day:
1967--Tryouts are held for the first-ever Saints dance team, originally called the Louisiannes, directed by Joanie Husser and choreographed by Phyllis Nelson. The Times-Picayune would call the dance team the "Saints Swingers," and their debut occurred in week three of the regular season.
1971--Saints lose their preseason home opener, 27-7, to the Kansas City Chiefs (Lions Club benefit game). Quarterback Archie Manning suffers a freak foot injury while trying to avoid hitting a bench on the sidelines, and kicker Tom Dempsey misses three field goals.
1975--Saints trade an undisclosed draft choice to New England for receiver/return man Lawrence Williams, who doesn't make the regular season roster because two days later he couldn't find the Superdome (according to what he later told coach John North).
1979--Cornerback Maurice Spencer is put on IR with a neck strain two years after missing all of 1977 with a broken neck.
1982--Saints win their preseason home opener, 6-3, over Kansas City. Morten Andersen makes winning 52-yard field goal with 3:43 left in the game; the Chiefs' Nick Lowery missed a game-tying 47-yarder at game's end. The Saints defense had nine sacks (two each by tackle Reggie Lewis and linebacker Whitney Paul).
1991--Saints trade receiver Brett Perriman for an undisclosed 1992 draft choice.
1999--Saints lose home preseason opener to Indianapolis Colts, 37-7, in Peyton Manning's unofficial first pro appearance in the Superdome.
2004--Saints lose preseason contest at Green Bay, 19-14.
2006--Saints lose an exhibition contest played in Shreveport's Independence Stadium to the Dallas Cowboys, 30-7. The game was in Shreveport due to continued renovations to the Superdome following Hurricane Katrina.
2010--Saints defeat Houston Texans, 38-20, in preseason action in the Superdome.

One thought on "The Endling Volume 2 Chapter 8"
Hey all, it seems the same technical glitch has infected this chapter and the last chapter–the final "screen" of each chapter shines as brightly as Roy Baty, but then disappears. We've asked the Thrillbent West Coast HQ to fix it, so hopefully today you can read both chapters in their full versions! Sorry about that…

Inside the Fed in 2006: Missing the Coming Crisis
Minutes recently released from the 2006 meetings of Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) offer some disturbing insights into the failure of Fed officials to understand how deeply intertwined the housing sector and financial markets are. This New York Times piece goes into much detail regarding this and other less-than-flattering aspects of these meetings. While residential investment represents a tiny four percent (4%) of Gross Domestic Product (GDP), it has far reaching backward- and forward-linkages into many other components of GDP, such as construction, construction materials, durable goods, home furnishings, brokerage and financial services. For this reason, it is often said that when it comes to the strong effect residential investment has on the economy, that housing is the "tail that wags the dog."
Apartment Market Conditions Holding Steady
The National Multi Housing Council (NMHC) released its Apartment Market Conditions survey results, depicting steadiness in the apartment market, with 62% of respondents stating that conditions were virtually unchanged from the prior quarter. So the good news for property owners is that conditions appear to have stabilized somewhat, although I still expect to see continued, albeit slow declines throughout the remainder of 2010. Here's a link to the full survey results:
Homebuilder Sentiment Moving Sideways
The latest builder confidence index has just been released by the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB). The current January index is at 15, down from 16 in December and 17 in November, but up Y-O-Y from a dismal 8 in January 2009. While we're slightly better off than last year, keep in mind that during the residential construction boom, index levels were in the 70's. Any number lower than 50 indicates more builders view conditions as negative as compared to those who them as positive. Bottom line: we detect some vital signs, but the market is still very much on life support. Here's the link to the published index:

public teamspeak server anyone?
Hey... pardon me if I'm mistaken, but are we still lacking public teamspeak servers/channels for battlefront?
If not, can someone please direct me to that thread, or tell me the server name/channel?
I wouldn't want to blatenly advertise a public ts server I'm registered on (self-registration) without there being a real need for this.
So... should we setup a meeting place? A public server with a Battlefront channel plus a few sub-channels, for us Padawans who can't listen to everyone in the main channel while we're blasting opponents into the next Galaxy. What do you think?
There has to be someone else who's tired of typing... ha!
Just went to wolfgaming.net and of course they don't even have a battlefront channel there... that doesn't surprise me though.
Would hate for this thread to turn into another "I can't believe we don't have in game chat," so:
Here's one public teamspeak server, with a registered channel named "Star Wars Battlefront"
Ace's Public Server 188.8.131.52:8768 (no password required)
Channel: Star Wars Battlefront
Sub-channels: Good Guys & Bad Guys
This is a public server, so I can't guarantee it will be up 24/7... I don't own this server either... and, no one has deleted these channels I posted in the past few days... so enjoy!
Tip #1: bookmark this server... and in your local address book you'll be able to set "Star Wars Battlefront" as your default channel to join when you connect.
Tip #2: want to chat private? meet here and then you or your friend(s) can make a new passworded channel :)
Tip #3: bind some keys to switch between channels if you're automatically forced to join the other team. example: I'm using Ctrl + Shift + B and Ctrl + Shift + G to switch between the bad/good guys... and Ctrl + Shift + L to switch back to the main SWB channel.
Also remember this is public chat... so it shouldn't matter which channel you're talking on, unless you're the only one connected lol!!
Fly well now!!

The Bulls released waived Tornike (Toko) Shengelia and signed forward Greg Smith for the remainder of the season.
Shengelia was acquired from the Brooklyn Nets in January in exchange for Marquis Teague in a move that got the Bulls from paying the $1.1 million owed to Teague next season.
Shengelia appeared in just nine games for the Bulls.
Smith has played two-plus seasons with the Houston Rockets and is currently rehabbing a right knee that he underwent arthroscopic knee surgery in late February that has placed him out for the season. The signing appears to be for the future as Smith is owed $1 million next season and the Bulls needing big man insurance with most expecting Nazr Mohammad to retire or to play elsewhere. The team could also use Smith for trade flexibility in the offseason.
Smith has career averages of 5.2 points on 62.3 percent shooting and 4.1 rebounds in just 14.4 minutes over 89 games with the Rockets.
The Bulls roster still stands at 15.
