Diablous - Burn Me Alive
Posted 01 August 2013 - 11:04 AM
Aleksandr "Diablous" Skvortsov has released his latest Enhancement Shaman PvP movie called "Burn me alive". We had the time to ask him some questions.
ArenaJunkies: Hello Diablous, first of all congratulations to your latest PvP movie "Burn me alive" and thanks for taking the time to answer some questions. Let's start out with a short introduction. Since when do you play Enhancement Shaman?
Diablous: Hello, thanks for having me here. I started in 2004 on Chromaggus eu, then migrated to Stormscale eu in season 5 and been there since then(my alt is on Outland tho).
ArenaJunkies: Did you play in tournaments?
Diablous: In this video we played in MiR 2# tournament in the loser's bracket vs Nauree's team 2-0.
We disqualified from the first winner's bracket game instantly, because one of us wasn't online when needed.
The game starts in the video from 17:00. This is the results of the tournament http://challonge.com/mirtournament
ArenaJunkies: You start out with the metal song "Scapegoat" by "The Agony Scene" from the Christian label "Solid State Records" and your trademark Diablous mask that reminds a bit of the painted animal masks from Papua New Guinea. The movie is called "Burn me alive", the launching fire that could come from Dante's Inferno. How did you develop that mix of symbols?
Diablous: My name Diablous is not in any way connected with The Agony Scene or Scapegoat. I've been using my name since 2004 when I switched from Diablo to World of Warcraft. The movie is called Burn Me Alive because of the lyrics in the video.
ArenaJunkies: How long did the editing take?
Diablous: It took weeks, the biggest part was to search through all 3+ terabytes of games I've been recording.
The games that didn't make it to the video, will be released on my Youtube channel at some point.
ArenaJunkies: Did you have professional training or did you learn editing and 3D all by yourself?
Diablous: Not really, took me a week to master it, not hard at all when you are focused on the stuff you are trying to do. The intro is actually my first pice of 3D.
ArenaJunkies: Back to more basic topics. What is the current state of Enhancement Shamans regarding balance?
Diablous: Enhancements are in good state of balance right now, and they are only going up in the next patch, possibly being the top melee.
ArenaJunkies: Did you test patch 5.4 on PTR?
Diablous: Yea, I always play the PTR to get ahead in the upcomming patch. The enhancement is just getting stronger and stronger.
ArenaJunkies: Will you qualify for the regionals?
Diablous: I was planning to do so this season, but as always, I end up having no team that is willing to practice, everyone is just aiming to get their gladiator tittle.
ArenaJunkies: If players have questions about Enhancement Shamans - is there a way to contact you without being annoying?
Diablous: Messaging me via Youtube is the best way, that way I can anwser them when I have time, and not when I'm doing arena ingame.
ArenaJunkies: Do you have links you would like to share to your stream or social media accounts?
Diablous: My stream on Twitch is: www.twitch.tv/diablous and my Youtube channel is: www.youtube.com/diablouseu
ArenaJunkies: Any shout-outs?
Diablous: Shout-outs to Arenajunkies, Prestige-Gaming and Warcraftmovies for promoting my movie on their sites.
Also a shout-out to MiR guild on Outland eu for having me in their tournament.
ArenaJunkies: Thank you for the interview Diablous.

The music immediately reverts that redeeming factor, and then extends the favor of ruining the experience for the viewer some more. The opening highlight reel of popping ascendance and using a ranged ability that instantly kills someone with 50% hp is an idea that classes where one button does not govern the outcome of their game have used to thrive on, but from the perspective of an enhancement shaman who is permanently in Ascendance for the duration of the montage, the reel is truly cringeworthy. I truly feel like I am watching a war crime be committed everytime someone uses a defensive cooldown and immediately dies after to the unhealable damage of a hunter and enhancement shaman in rapid succession through editing stormblast on top of stormblast.
In most of the games, there are critical mistakes chaining, DRing, or landing CC on the opposing team's healer, and usually no communication to cross CC. In one game in particular, the team uses cooldowns on a hunter and immediately baits a life swap, then the hunter and shaman each go on a different target, neither of which the priest can heal through, and everything on the opposing team dies (to be fair, the hunter DID call that he was attacking the death knight - Diablous just keeps attacking the hunter, which is the target nearest him [which seems to be the only factor in target calling decision making throughout the video]). Maybe worse yet, is that in the blur of players flopping to an enhance/hunter that uses calling the name of a class as the full extent of their damage coordination, are Michael Jackson songs, remixed into overworked oblivion, which would have him turning over in his grave if he were not grateful to not be alive in a world where the state of the game is where it is.
There are no series as far as I can tell, no losses to see the perspective of the struggles of improving as a Beast Cleave really, and no signs that the team has improved past the point of basic communication and synergy (admittedly, they communicate well between each other). The rest of the music is obnoxious to the point where you might want to mute it if you weren't objectively evaluating it - but none of the music is as bad as the first song, "Scapegoat," a thrash metal song performed by The Agony Scene, which repeats the same message over a dozen times in just under two minutes - "Burn Me Alive".
The video is titled "Burn Me Alive", for what reason I don't know - maybe Burn Me Alive is a plea from Diablous to the naive WoW community, and the montage of ascendance stormblasts playing to the repeated title is indeed a collection of war crimes - a confession. Maybe Diablous can't help but share his masochistic desires with the ArenaJunkies community - he has, after all, been playing an enhancement shaman since 2004. It could just very well be, though, that the title was as poorly planned as the idea to open with a montage of that which annoys the arena community more than anything, the poor musical score, or even his choice of class since 2004; perhaps the title was chosen simply because Diablous is a fan of that utterly unbearable song, and thought the phrase "Burn Me Alive" repeated constantly in its under-three-minute duration just sounded cool, and decided to title his video to repeat it one more time, as if to stain our minds with the horror of enhancement shamans ascendancing down their competition with one more repetition of the phrase. If it's of any consolation, I will probably repeat it to the person nearest me if I ever listen to the song again.
I give this video two / , its editing and effort is commendable, but I have no earthly idea why it is on the front page of AJ.

UNIVERSITY PARK - Penn State paid tribute to one of its oldest athletic pillars on Saturday.
The family of Jim Tarman, who served as a leader in Penn State's athletic department for 35 years, was presented with a plaque that will be hung in the press box to commemorate his contributions.
Tarman came to Penn State in 1958, served as sports information director through the 1960s, then spent 10 years as assistant athletic director and later AD from 1982 until his retirement in 1993.
Athletic Director Dave Joyner called Tarman "a real all-star. You can't turn your head to the left or right without seeing Jim's contribution to the athletic department and university."
In addition to transitioning the Nittany Lions' entry into the Big Ten, Tarman drove Penn State football coverage in the early years of the Joe Paterno era to "unprecedented media attention," Joyner said.
He also co-hosted with Fran Fisher the popular "TV Quarterbacks" show that created significant statewide interest.
"Jim meant so much to the Penn State community," Joyner said.
Tarman has been residing in an assisted-living facility in the State College area and could not be present for the brief ceremony in the All-Sports Museum.
His wife, Louise, and sons Jim and Jeff accepted on his behalf.
"We're deeply appreciative," Louise Tarman said. "I think it's well deserved recognition of Jim. It's a special day, and the family is very pleased."
Louise Tarman thanked the university and especially Ira Miller, Ernie Accorsi and Joe Grata, former proteges of Tarman who drove the idea. Accorsi is the former general manager of the New York Giants. Miller spent a long career covering the NFL for the San Francisco Chronicle, and Grata was a longtime writer for the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
"I really admire the tenacity and dedication of Jim's student assistants who had pursued this for maybe the last 10 or 15 years," she said.
A number of longtime Penn State university and athletic department personnel, former and current, were on hand, such as Fisher, Steve Garban, Lou Prato, Dave Baker, Steve Jones, Jack Ham and Roger Corey, as well as some of the longer tenured writers on the Penn State beat.

Cubs Potential Offseason Targets: Jeremy Hermida
As I mentioned earlier, this is an exercise at some of the low profile names the Cubs could or should look at this offseason. And remeber, these articles are designed to just start the discussion, not settle the case one way or another.
I think it's a fair assumption that the Cubs will be likely focusing at second base and either center or right field along with some bullpen help. So today's guest is another possible non-tender candidate, Marlins outfielder Jeremy Hermida.
Hermida was the 11th pick in the 2002 draft and was the top Marlins prospect from 2004 to 2006 according to Baseball America.
|5 Seasons
Generated 10/24/2009.
As we see here, nothing too special from his major league career besides a decent season in 2007 at age 23. His minor league numbers ended with an .834 OPS and that went up dramatically pretty much each year as his power developed. There's little denying his talent as the Red Sox were considering him as the main attraction in a Manny Ramirez trade before moving on to Jason Bay. On the other hand, there have been plenty of whispers about his attitude and general lack of fire about playing baseball.
Defensively, UZR at Fangraphs doesn't think too highly of him, nor does the Fan's Scouting Report, while BP's Rate 2 numbers have him at 103 out of right field for his career. A scouting report from John Sickels in 2006 didn't make him sound like anything more than an average right fielder.
On the bright side, his career splits are a .721 OPS at pitcher-friendly Landshark Stadium versus an .815 on the road. If you look at the year-by-year splits, there was a particular stunning discrepany in 2007 and 2008, so a change of scenery might be the match strike to get his career going. And at age 26 next year, a team would be hoping his best years are still to come.
He made $2.25M last year in his first year of arbitration eligibility, although the two sides settled before going to an arbitation hearing. I don't think there would be any shortage of interest in Hermida if the Marlins starting shopping, it just depends on what the Marlins will be asking or how much they want to save the money.
Much like Kelly Johnson, if the price is right I'm all for taking a shot at a 26-year old with a high ceiling and some major league success. Of course, the Marlins may want to move on, but they know what kind of talent they have as well and I would expect a pretty decent market for him if he is indeed shopped in the trade market. And if they just decide to non-tender him, you'd have to expect a bunch of small market teams are going to make their run at him with more playing time guarantees than the Cubs could offer.
Re: Cubs Potential Offseason Targets: Jeremy Hermida
I'm sure Rudy Jaramillio will unlock Hermida's awesome potential!!
Re: Cubs Potential Offseason Targets: Jeremy Hermida
Cubs should sign Hal McRae, too. I envision a dream team of batting coaches.
Re: Cubs Potential Offseason Targets: Jeremy Hermida
It doesn't make a lot of sense to me. It doesn't fix our outfield defense, and it doesn't fix our driving in runs issue (if you think that wasn't an aberration).
Are you going to take a look at Willy Taveras?
Re: Cubs Potential Offseason Targets: Jeremy Hermida
Boy...that Taveras sure is fast!! (checks Taveras' numbers)
Yep...he still sucks too.
Re: Ninja is doing great...
along the side bar...and i know the article was posted on here already...there was a link about jarhead and bradley...
"This young man has all the talent in the world," Jaramillo said. "He worked hard. When he came in [to Texas], I knew my job was, 'Hey, I have to win this kid over.' It took me a while. He was a good student. He had an outstanding year for us. He still has a lot of baseball left. We got along great. I knew kind of what buttons to push. He started trusting me, and we started to get that rapport and things started to get better and better and he led the league in on-base percentage and slugging, so his ability is still there, there's no doubt in my mind."
...can jar be manager?
Re: Ninja is doing great...
Dear Tom Ricketts,
Criteria for new manager:
1. Can you coddle a 31 year old man enough to convince him to do his job and not be a douche?
Re: Ninja is doing great...
that's what managers do...they make 25+ people want to show up for their job...and it's not hard work if you're good at it.
managers filling out a lineup card is one of the most minor jobs they can do...as long as the people in the clubhouse understand why player A is playing and players B, C, etc. aren't.
if it was just "show up and play" with plug/play lineups and everyone could be counted on to man-up...we wouldn't need managers, especially superstar ones...we could all just act like it's a pickup game down at the park.
Re: Ninja is doing great...
Re: Ninja is doing great...
How about "It's your job..to get paid an amazing amount of money, to PLAY A FUCKING GAME!?"
$7 million or whatever to play baseball for a living. Well boo effing hoo...how about motivation like "gee..if I have a good season, not only will I continue to get a huge salary, more than people see in a lifetime..but I'll get a raise...endorsement money...it'll be great."
I know that it's every manager's fault, not Milton bradley's...but please, let's take a moment to weep for the poor millionaire.
Re: Ninja is doing great...
it'd be nice if you could count on that, wouldn't it?
who are you to insist manny ramirez, gary sheffield, milton bradley, etc. man up? who's that worked for so far?
they don't have to realize or act like they earned anything and some will take while acting like the world owes them more.
everything isn't the manager's fault, but it's the manager's job to..well..manage.
EVERYONE who deals with a milton bradley at this point knows what buying a milton bradley is about. to invest in a milton bradley and expect him to be just fine without holding his hand and putting the work into making the baby feel better is wasting money. he takes work.
we don't live in a libertarian fantasy world. we have to deal with greed and babies and those that want to do things their way on their own time...MLB managers have to deal with greedy babies who make millions. not all people are going to pull their weight just because they should.
Re: Ninja is doing great...
personal case in point...
during the tech boom of the late 90s/early 00s i managed a QA crew for a division of NCR.
we had "superstar" programmers who did things like...leave at 2pm to play golf or whatever with only a moment's notice. if i did that, i'd get fired. i can't do that...i wasn't that valuable to the team. it screwed with other people's work and it was occasionally frustrating, but you HAD to live with it if you expected that particular talent to work for you.
i managed 2 people in particular who were "hard" to manage, but we needed them on the team. 1 was a fundamental christian weirdo who let the entire world stress him out. occasionally i had to tell the dude to take a little while off and surf the net to chill out or just go home. he SHOULD be working, but his quality of output SUCKED ASS if he didn't get this occasionally.
i had another woman who was actively going through a divorce. she was handled similar to the above dude, but she also occasionally needed time for emotional support to get through a day. it ate up MY time, it ate up HER time, and it occasionally ate up other worker's time. without this work, though...she would not give quality output at work.
managing people and output...they're not mutually exclusive in almost every case.
Re: Ninja is doing great...
I agree with Crunch on the role of the manager. A good manager, whether in baseball or in business, has to learn how to relate in the best way to each individual. A "one size fits all" approach doesn't work.
Where Crunch and I disagree is in whether or not Lou Piniella is to blame for Milton Bradley's behavior. My feeling is that Bradley is not manageable. None of Bradley's managers have been completely successful in controlling his behavior/attitude. That leads me to believe that the problem is strictly with Bradley, not with Piniella's people managing skills.
Re: Ninja is doing great...
Bud Black -- Tried to stop Bradley from attacking an ump and Bradley ended up injuring himself.
Ron Washington -- Bradley went after a Royals broadcaster who said something he didn't like while on Washington's watch. He (Bradley) also admitted that he faked injuries at the end of his tenure in Texas so as not to hurt his stats and diminish his value as a free agent.
Bradley's behavior in Chicago may have been worse and/or had more of an impact in the clubhouse, but he's had his problems everywhere he has gone.
Re: Ninja is doing great...
Seriously, are people afraid of libel if they say something bad about a player?
I imagine if Cubs are able to trade Bradley, Lou would parrot the other managers.
There is reason he's on team # whatever now in 7 years.
Re: Ninja is doing great...
I meant the managers were worried about libel.
You keep slandering away, good buddy.
Re: Ninja is doing great...
You're correct. All three did have good things to say about Bradley. But Black and Washington both had problems with him.
I have read that the ump baited Bradley in the incident while he was in San Diego, but if that's true, I can only guess that it was because of Bradley's reputation among umpires. The doesn't make it okay, but it does somewhat come back on Bradley for his past transgressions. Plus, he only played 42 games for San Diego, so to say that he didn't display his patented behavior problems while with the Padres is a case of using a small sample size.
By my count, Bradley has played for seven different managers. With the exception of Ken Macha and Felipe Alou, all of them has had some degree of trouble with Bradley. Why would you assume that five of the seven just didn't put the effort in to "managing" Bradley rather than pinning the blame for the troubles on Bradley himself?
Re: Ninja is doing great...
Rob, I agree with you. The trouble started when Hendry signed Bradley, paid him too much money, and apparently didn't consider his past behavioral problems.
I also agree that Bradley apparently got along well with Black, Macha, and Washington. My point is that even while getting along with them (at least Black and Washington), he still had behavioral problems. So whether the manager gets along with Bradley (Black, Washington)or doesn't (Wedge, Piniella), Bradley is still going to cause problems.
We agree that the Cubs should have never signed Bradley. The only point I was trying to make is that Bradley is beyond being managed, so I can't blame Piniella (or his other managers) for Bradley's bad behavior or the fall-out from that behavior.
Re: Ninja is doing great...
What problems did Bradley cause in Chicago again? Apparently being the scapegoat for an underachieving team is being a problem.
Re: Ninja is doing great...
Wow. Can I borrow your rose colored glasses?
Re: Ninja is doing great...
Re: Ninja is doing great...
TRN -- Don't you think you're being a bit disingenuous here? To say that Bradley did not cause problems for the Cubs this year is to separate yourself from reality. For instance:
- In Bradley's first at-bat at Wrigley Field, he argued a called third strike, bumped the ump, and was suspended.
- In June in a game against the White Sox, the frustration over his poor hitting got the best of Bradley. After a poor at-bat, Bradley threw his helmet in the dugout and then beat the hell out of the Gatorade dispenser. After an exchange with Lou Piniella, Bradley was sent home early.
- Later in the year in a game against Milwaukee, Bradley pulled himself out of a game with a sore knee. When asked about it by reporters after the game, he angrily explained that he's had two knee surgeries and inflammation is what happens after surgery, He then refused to answer any other questions.
- The next day, when asked to pinch hit, Bradley refused and then later told a reporter that he is the hardest working player on the ball club, but he never gets credit for it. He then went on to say that with all of the negativity surrounding the team, he can understand why they haven't won a World Series in more than 100 years. Bradley is then suspended for the remainder of the season. Following news of the suspension, Bradley's teammates unanimously sided with management, indicating that Bradley was even more of a problem in the clubhouse than we were told.
Other players get upset and throw a helmet or beat a Gatorade machine. One even got suspended for bumping an ump. But no one on the team put together a string of bad behavior than could come close to matching Milton Bradley.
As for being a scapegoat for an underachieving team, I think you are misstating the facts. While people have been upset with his behavior, I have not heard/read anyone, including here on TCR, claim that Bradley was the cause of the Cubs failure to make the post season.

taking a little bit of liberty with that summation of events.

Which part isn't correct? To the best of my knowledge, what I wrote is factual.
Re: Ninja is doing great...
The "universally siding with management" bit isn't true. You had the team leader saying he thought Bradley should do what he needed to do to not end the season suspended, and AramRam said that he'd never heard of a player being suspended for comments to the press. That's not siding with management on the suspension decision or length.
He didn't bump the umpire, he was bumped by the umpire. He wasn't the first person to attack the gatorade dispenser, either.
Re: Lou gets paid something like $4M right?
Clearly, when Hendry revamped the team last winter he put together a crew that did not benefit from the leadership of our $4 million manager. And Lou's lackadaisical leadership was part of the problem.
Rudy Jaramillo, on the other hand, wants to be a manager and he's paid like one by the Cubs, so give him a shot next year at $800K, let Lou go (next year is a club option, what's the point bringing him back for one more year??), and use the $3.2 million saved each year to soften the blow of MB's backloaded contract ($9 MM -2010, $12MM-2011).
Re: Ninja is doing great...
i hear ya on you not thinking milton is manageable...there's a case for that over the long haul.
i do think milton's behavior is milton's fault, too.
my thing is...milton is in a period of "being milton"...what does the manager do? what does the manager do when it supposedly is effecting others, too? what does the manager do when it keeps getting worse?
lou's comments about him giving up on milton early in the season seems like an ill approach to the situation to me. you can never fully contain or tame milton, but he needs input from others to stay on some level of "normal."
also, keep in mind lou is a manager who rarely goes into the player's clubhouse, aka they police themselves. it's a very oldschool way of managing, but if something is festering there and there's no true clubhouse leader things can get ugly.
Re: Ninja is doing great...
Please take into consideration that Manny Ramirez and Gary Sheffield have put up, steroid enhaced or no, HOF type numbers, while Bradley has a breakthrough season if he plays 100 games, stays off the DL, and drives in 77 runs.
Apples to ducks....
Re: Ninja is doing great...
how bradley plays in the field vs. how bradley effects a lockerroom is apples to ducks.
it has a bit to do with why he's going away, but it doesn't help how you should handle him. it's not like it's roses and valium when he's hitting .300 and healthy as hell.
Re: Ninja is doing great...
Crunch, you are a knowledgeable poster, and a staple of TCR. I will agree to disagree about the Milton Bradley debacle.
Now as far as Lou running Bobby Scales out in LF every day...?
Re: Ninja is doing great...
From Muskat:
Jeff Samardzija gave up four runs, five hits, and four walks over five innings in Mexicali's 9-4 win over Navojoa on Sunday. Samardzija struck out three, and left with the game tied at 3.
Go through this with me slowly...
Jeff Samardzija gave up four runs...
and left with the game tied at 3.
So they're playing Calvinball?

Re: Cubs Potential Offseason Targets: Jeremy Hermida
I personally don't think Hermida is the answer, but if you're looking for a buy low/high potential candidate, Hermida might fit the bill. The guy has talent. It's just been a little while since he's shown it.
Re: Cubs Potential Offseason Targets: Jeremy Hermida
I like the Jeremy Hermida idea much more than I did the Kelly Johnson idea. Really though, and I've said it before, even though batting average isn't a very good stat, I think this lineup needs a 300+ average hitter, even if he has little power. Many times this year it felt like they couldn't push runs across without a home run. So many guys were left on base. A high avg hitter hitting 5th or 6th would be a huge boost.
The problem is, you'll pony up some $ for a high average hitter and that's seemingly exactly the opposite of what the Cubs appear to be doing this year.
Re: Cubs Potential Offseason Targets: Jeremy Hermida
a dan uggla says what?
Re: Cubs Potential Offseason Targets: Jeremy Hermida
I LOVE this "potential Cub target" series, ROB G.
Re: Cubs Potential Offseason Targets: Jeremy Hermida
Hermida only had 429 at bats. That makes him a fourth outfielder.
Re: Cubs Potential Offseason Targets: Jeremy Hermida
This past year Hermida would have tied for 4th on the club with 47 RBI. I just finally noticed that Theriot was third on the team with 54 RBI! What's that about?!
Re: Cubs Potential Offseason Targets: Jeremy Hermida
Signs that your team had a bad year: Theriot is third in RBI's with 54.
Re: Cubs Potential Offseason Targets: Jeremy Hermida
Yes, and "...Theriot was third on the team with 54 RBI!"
Re: Cubs Potential Offseason Targets: Jeremy Hermida
Could Milton Bradley play some CF to spot Kfuk next year?
could each get 400ish at bats with that arrangement. Any of those guys are good candidates to miss at least some time.
Re: Cubs Potential Offseason Targets: Jeremy Hermida
"there have been plenty of whispers about his attitude and general lack of fire about playing baseball"
So he's Adam Dunn without the power?
Re: Cubs Potential Offseason Targets: Jeremy Hermida
There is a difference in a lack of fire to play baseball and still putting up stats and being outright lazy and not putting up any stats.
Whatever you believe about Adam Dunn, he is going to go out there and drive in 100 RBI, hit for power, and have an OBP near .400, year in and year out.
Bradley your going to get the biggest dick ever and you never know what your going to get from him offensively, but one thing is certain, you can never ever depend on him when your team needs him.
Some people may not love their job but they still do their job. Milton just has outright contempt for playing the game of baseball and will do almost anything in his power to play the least amount of it as he can. He can go yank himself out of lineups and refuse to play for some other mananger.
Re: Cubs Potential Offseason Targets: Jeremy Hermida
Huh? I thought we were talking about Hermida? Seems like we've been assuming that Bradley will be gone one way or another anyway.
Re: Cubs Potential Offseason Targets: Jeremy Hermida
Great......let's target another problem child OF. What's Bradley have to do to convince you supporters that the juice isn't worth the squeeze? Take a crap on the pitcher's mound on his way out to RF on the days he feels like playing? God, I keep hoping Ricketts will eventually put someone competent in charge of this asylum.
Re: Cubs Potential Offseason Targets: Jeremy Hermida
The low average, the strikeouts, the bad defense, lack of a track record of endurance, millions of dollars, a possible price in prospects ... too much for me to not like about a Hermida deal. They might as well play Hoff with an eye on a midseason trade compared to this.
Recent comments
Meh, I messed that up. Mets are in.
Cards and Giants can still tie though.
Kershaw gets hurt by his defense and gave up 2 more runs. Blach has 8 shutout innings.
Mets already won as did Cards.
tomorrow is gonna be helluva fun if Giants hold on. We're all rooting for a 3-way tie I presume.
good news is now 5 K's for Lester through 4 (in a quest for 200 for season). Bad news is he's already at 86 pitches.
be curious how long Maddon sticks with Lester to try and let offense get back into it and get him the win (4-2 as I type, was 4-0)
Fwiw, he needed 2.1 IP to cross 200 for season so he got that at least. He also needs 9 K's for 200K's on season and he has 4 through 3.
cubs score 2 runs thanks to predictable reds pitching and horrible CIN defense...cubs only down by 1 now. heyward even got a gift 2rbi double out of an easy popout. neat.
something named Ty Blach has outpitched Clayton Kershaw through 6 innings (1-0 Giants).
not that finishing 2nd place will matter much nor did this game, but have to think if Hendricks pitches well tomorrow, he could leapfrog Lester in Cy Young voting. Don't see anyway Scherzer doesn't win it regardless and it doesnt' look like Lester has any incentive clauses that matter. Also might give Cueto some votes.
Rather remarkable how many teams have really good 1-2 options this year.
Nats: Scherzer and Roark (and Strasburg was great before injuries)
Cubs: Lester and Hendricks (and Arrietta is still damn good just not as consistently lately)
pretty much what I'm gathering from this thread is that it doesn't matter who you play in 5-game series, but no one wants to have to deal with Cardinal fans if we end up losing.
I can respect that.
first game for lester giving up more than 2 runs since july 24th. hell of a run.
doh, yes...dunno what happened there. jake arrieta is all "bro wut?"
lester going for #20...cubs haven't had a LH (thanks jpep for the correction) 20 game winner since d.ellsworth in 1963.
fwiw, all the games are free on mlb.tv
Short rest for MadBum would be 2 days. WC game is Wed., Games 1 & 2 are Friday/Saturday.
A left-handed one...
J-Hey not finishing with an offensive onslaught.
If Geoff Blum could be a Playoff hero, there is hope still...
Giants scare me. I think you're wrong about Bumgarner, he would pitch on short rest for Game 2 and then full rest for Game 5. Cueto would go Game 1, then short rest in game 4. Add in some really tough outs in that lineup and I want nothing to do with them. With that rotation they can easily steal a series.
Cards are a tough matchup. The rivalry evens out their comparable lack of talent. And like someone said, they love HRs, which is how to beat the Cubs. The upside is that I would feel really good about Lester twice against STL.

A Letter in the Jan. 29 Tomahawk Leader:
To The Editor:
Over the years, the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (WDNR) has seemingly taken unilateral control of the interests of hunting license holders in Wisconsin. Like no other time before, Wisconsin hunters really need some sort of platform to voice concerns to the WDNR. We need an organized voice when dealing with proposed WDNR rules, the rules making process and promulgation. They "allow" us to attend hearings. We all know how that has gone. Individual opinions brought up at hearings are easily isolated and shot down. We need to do something as a unified group or this WDNR will continue to ruin what we as hunters take so seriously.
Most WI hunters are not at all satisfied with the wildlife management decision-making processes. License holders' interests are essentially omitted from the process, outside of the dog-and-pony public hearing process. Without a collective approach, we will continue to be overrun by poor, unleashed and unilateral management decisions … also know as "regulatory creep."
I have talked with hundreds of hunting and fishing license holders regarding some of the wild ideas strewn by the WDNR (i.e., EAB, harvest vs. population numbers, six minnow rule, etc.). I must say that I have never experienced so much consistency and unity on the positions of these license holders. The overall agreement is that our WDNR is out of control. We need them to start hearing, respecting and considering our thoughts on issues.
A few issues are as follows:
1. We challenge "the actual number of deer" versus what the WDNR is claiming.
2. The formula for sex-age-kill is artificially inflating the deer kill target for the next year. Baiting/non-baiting issues.
3. The split north/south duck openers. This is causing problems only up north for obvious reasons.
In the wake of higher and higher license fees, the fact is that we are not being treated fairly – rather we are ignored and taken for granted. The WDNR needs to take our opinions to the decision table to be presented to the Natural Resources Board (NRB), as part of the rule-making process. I have thought of some possible names and acronyms for an organization, including (other ideas welcome) – Hunters Against Regulatory Mismanagement (HARM): accurate, but perhaps a bit negative; and Hunter's Alliance for Regulatory Communication (HARC): reflects the goal, and has a more positive connotation.
I am very serious about this and really would value your opinions, your ideas and perhaps your help in launching this effort. Please contact me at 715-536-7870 if you have any questions. Please leave your name, phone number, and e-mail address in support of the effort. Subsequent action will be based on overall support of the effort.

2012 Alltech Lecture Tour – The Path to a Profitable Future - to Visit 24 Cities across North America
2012 Alltech Lecture Tour – The Path to a Profitable Future - to Visit 24 Cities across North America
Since the first intelligible sentence was carried through telephone wire on March 10, 1876 in the rented top floor of a Boston boarding house, the world has been on a constant move to find the latest breakthroughs in technology. As Steve Jobs once said, "We're just in the beginning stages of what will be a truly remarkable breakthrough for most people- as remarkable as the telephone."
These advances in technology will be showcased in Shaping Tomorrow's World: Path to a Profitable Future, the theme of Alltech's 2012 North American Lecture Tour.

The lecture tour will examine such issues as programmed nutrition, epigenitics, sales organizations, the Alltech Ag Network, social media and the implementation of algae in our nutrition program.
"Change is imminent. Global demand for fuel, food and other commodities will only continue to increase as the world's population and wealth rise. We must embrace revolutions in the industry if we want to stay competitive," said Dr. Pearse Lyons, president and founder of Alltech.
"We believe there are some tremendous new opportunities to be seized by the ag industry, and we look forward to sharing these ideas on our 2012 Alltech North American Lecture Tour," said Geoff Frank, sales manager of North America. "To quote Steve Jobs, 'People with passion can change the world for the better.'"

So the entire wrestling world is talking about the Money in the Bank pay-per-view last night and the CM Punk world title win. Of course, all the cool kids were following my live coverage here at Bleacher Report.
But anyways, in a rare change of pace, people are actually excited to watch Raw tonight and see how the Cena firing plays out. CM Punk has stated he will not be at Raw tonight because he's going to the Cubs game and ESPN seems to have confirmed that, but things could always change.
Make sure to refresh your browser for the latest updates from Raw and feel free to take part in the comments section.

[Project Dresses for Ivy, originally published 6.15.09]
A few weeks ago I did a big closet purging of all the clothes I don't wear anymore and will never wear again. I freecycled a ton.
I am a sentimental person, especially when it comes to clothes. The kids each have their own bin filled with things I could never part with. I have a few of my own, too.
So I had this idea to re-purpose some of my old t-shirts that I loved...
[The t-shirt I got when we went to Disneyland, as part of Noah's Make-A-Wish trip. The Ralph Lauren pink pony tee that everyone had and I just had to have one, too- a birthday present from like six years ago? An Old Navy tank top that I just liked the cool design. And the colorful Paul Frank tank I bought in Estes Park, Colorado. ]
My blog friend Kim (Prairie Mama) had sent Ivy one of her darling pillowcase dresses that she makes and sells on etsy. I told her my idea but my lack of sewing skills- to fashion my old tees into dresses for Ivy. She was in.
I mailed them off and today they came...
[P.S. Today Ivy LaRue turned nine months old.]
See Ivy 10 months later... here. (and also hope for hair-less babies.)

Yeah and since 2011, Manchin's pal, Aloi has a newly created 'drug court' judgeship that the state created for him. Now that's ironic. He's going to preside over drug addicts/pushers/sellers/users and his daughter is one! Hmm...doubt we'll hear the outcome of this one.

It's been nearly 20 years since the Kewanee football team has been state-ranked.
The 2013 Boilers (6-1) snapped that two-decade drought Tuesday when they cracked the Associated Press state football poll, checking in at No. 8 in Class 3A. The last time Kewanee appeared in the state poll — according to Star Courier statistician Jerry Salisbury — the Boilers were No. 5 in Class 3A on Nov. 2, 1993.
The 1993 team debuted in the polls at No. 9 on Oct. 19, and jumped two spots to No. 7 on Oct. 26. That team finished 9-2 and lost to eventual state champion Pontiac 21-14 in the second round of the playoffs.
Surprisingly, Kewanee's 1999 squad never did garner love from the pollsters. That team finished 10-2 and lost to St. Joseph-Ogden 7-6 in the Class 3A quarterfinals.
This year's Boilers put their newfound state recognition on the line with road trips to Hall Friday and unbeaten Rockridge on Oct. 25.
Also in this week's poll, Stark County holds steady at No. 6 in Class 1A. The state football rankings appear on page B2.

Worker Forces Elevator Union Bosses to Settle Federal Charge and Drop Retaliatory $20,000 Fine
Union officials demanded full-dues-payment and union membership in violation of Supreme Court precedents
Chicago, IL (October 24, 2012) – A former Barnard/Imperial Elevator employee has won a settlement from a local union after union officials demanded he pay about $20,000 for working at a non-union workplace.
With free legal assistance from National Right to Work Foundation staff attorneys, Robert Fierke filed a federal charge with the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) regional office in Chicago after union officials levied approximately $20,000 of fines against him.
Fierke worked for Barnard/Imperial Elevator before the company went bankrupt. International Union of Elevator Constructors (IUEC) Local 2 union bosses enjoyed monopoly bargaining privileges over the workplace. IUEC union officials never informed workers, including Fierke, of their right to refrain from full-dues-paying union membership as upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court in the Foundation-won Communications Workers v. Beck case.

Warren Beatty Gossip
Warren Beatty gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
Warren Beatty's Howard Hughes movie is probably not Citizen Kane
Warren Beatty has being trying to get a movie about Howard Hughes made for as long as I've cared about movies. I have never known a time when the "Warren Beatty/Howard Hughes movie" wasn't some mystical idea of the next Citizen Kane. Full Story
Annette Bening
Written by Duana What do you suppose Annette Bening does on Oscar night? It must be a routine now, do you think? Does she have a private rant and a cry in the car and then get over herself? Does she not talk about losing the Oscar at all, and then spirit herself off for a week in the Caribbean to think about what her prodigious skill as an actress is missing in terms of being Oscar bait? Like, maybe she makes it too easy? Me, I think Warren waits for her outside the ladies room, tells her to pick up her socks, and that they're going to put a smile on the faces of everyone in the Governor's ball in one hour or less, they sweep through and everyone comments on what a handsome couple they are. Full Story
She gets my vote
Still. I like this title because it reminds me of her performance in one of my favourite movies The American President, when she tells the President, after he screws her on an environmental bill, that: Mr. President, you've got bigger problems than losing me. You just lost my vote. I should buy it on DVD. Full Story
No more trailer days
Am currently obsessed with the movie star scene from the 60s thanks to Easy Riders, Raging Bulls and also of course Furious Love featuring Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton, although Warren and co were coming in as the new renegades of Hollywood after Queen Liz's reign. Warren Beatty was the motherf-cking sh-t back in the day. Full Story
If we can look like this…
Written by Jacek I posted earlier about good Jude and Sienna look as a couple. Lainey has referred to them being "at their physical best" when together. So here's something they can strive towards if both of them can move past their horny slip-ups and stay loyal to each other. Here are Warren Beatty and Annette Benning at the Los Angeles premiere of Mother and Child held at the Egyptian Theatre last night. Full Story
They don't have to be in their 20s...
To be sexy. Hell no. Two examples: Connie Britton at the White House Correspondents' dinner and forever Annette Bening at the Noches de Ninos Gala on Saturday night. Tami Taylor, per usual, brought the ladies. It's one of the cornerstones of Friday Night Lights – Mrs Taylor's tight tops. Full Story
Is there an Annette for George?
Warren Beatty was honoured last night by the AFI and in turn honoured his wife Annette Bening while he was accepting his award. "I love my profession, because it"s introduced me to the person who"s given me the most important thing of all, which is her love and the love of our four children … Annette," Beatty told the assembled, as his wife (since 1992), actress Annette Bening, teared up, and his sister, Shirley MacLaine, looked at her sister-in-law adoringly. Full Story
Shiloh, are you listening?
Please merciful Shiloh, please spare the RDJ. Please don't let the RDJ lose his cool. Please keep him clean but please don't take away his edge. I worry. Check out Robert Downey Jr last night at the AFI event to honour Warren Beatty. He is the hotness, sure…but is it just me or is he wearing a LOT of foundation? Does he look a little plastic? I like my RDJ rough around the edges! World weary and haggard, even ungroomed…that's the RDJ that quivers my loins. Full Story
How Warren Was Won
Seriously. Seriously. Look at Annette Bening. Look at her. She will be 50 this year. If this is me at 50, Buddha will have heard my prayers. So forget the awards, forget the Oscars, forget his professional accolades… Warren Beatty's singular most exceptional achievement was taking his head out of his ass long enough to secure and marry a woman like Annette Bening. Full Story

EAST LIVERPOOL - With revenue from a 5-mill streets levy passed in November not to be collected until 2014, at least some city officials are hoping some work can still be done this year, even if it means borrowing against levy funds.
The resolution passed by City Council to place the issue on the ballot was worded such that collection will not begin until 2014.
Whether or not it was a mistake on someone's part is not clear, with council's finance committee Chairman Sherrie Curtis saying simply, "It's how the resolution was worded," when asked last week.
The issue came to light earlier in the week when county Chief Deputy Auditor John Goempel mentioned to the media he had called Mayor Jim Swoger after reading in the paper that the city expected to begin using the levy money in 2013 on street projects.
He said Swoger was "surprised to learn" that money would not be collected next year, but the following year.
"Someone screwed up, and it wasn't us or the board of elections. The ballot language says it isn't to be collected until tax year 2013, which is actually collection year 2014," Goempel said. Tax collections are always a year behind.
Election board Director Adam Booth agreed that the board must use the ballot language given, which was filed by City Council's clerk.
"We didn't draft the ballot language. That was passed by their council. We didn't question it. I just thought they had done it that was for a reason," Booth said.
If the city wanted to collect on the levy in 2013, council should have stated it was to commence being collected in tax year 2012, according to Booth.
Swoger conceded Thursday that he was not aware the ballot language called for collection to begin in 2014, saying, "I'm not sure (the resolution language) was a mistake. The money is there. Whether a mistake or not, we'll handle it."
He said he promised residents that the streets will be resurfaced with the money and they will be, even if the money has to be borrowed until collection can begin.
"I think that's something we can do. I haven't talked to anybody (on council) yet," he said.
Curtis also said last week, "I was hoping we could secure a loan (against the potential levy revenue) to start doing some work this summer, so citizens can see we are, in fact, serious about doing the work."
Although admitting it will cost the city a bit more in interest, Curtis said it would be worth it to show the citizens council is serious in its commitment to get their streets done.
She said she doesn't know how other council members feel about such a plan, although during an interview last week on another subject, Service-Safety Director Ryan Estell said he planned on making a similar suggestion.
Curtis plans on addressing the issue at the beginning of next year with other council members.
Meanwhile, referring to the comments offered up by Goempel and Booth, Curtis said, "If someone's just trying to make someone (in the city) look bad, it's too bad they can't just celebrate and be happy that citizens passed our levy and that we can finally address issues on our neighborhood streets."
The levy will generate $430,000 annually over its five-year life, and officials have said it is crucial to repairing neighborhood streets, which are in dire need of repairs.
Officials have said the city has exhausted every source of federal and state funding for street repairs in doing recent projects on major thoroughfares, including state Route 39, state Route 267 (Lisbon Street), St. Clair Avenue, Dresden Avenue, Bradshaw Avenue and Maine Boulevard and some surrounding streets.
With federal and state funding not available to repair neighborhood streets, officials have said local support was needed.
Swoger emphasized that any street project undertaken in 2013 in regard to the levy funding or money borrowed against it will likely be a small one, saying, "Then, next year, we'll take off. I promised, and it will come true. Right, wrong or indifferent, some amount of work will be done to streets."
Reporter Tom Giambroni contributed to this story.

FF Amman Sans supports up to 85 different languages such as Urdu, Arabic, Spanish, English, Portuguese, Persian, German, French, Turkish, Italian, Polish, Kurdish (Latin), Azerbaijani (Latin), Romanian, Dutch, Hungarian, Serbian (Latin), Kazakh, Czech, Swedish, Belarusian (Latin), Croatian, Slovak, Finnish, Danish, Lithuanian, Latvian, Slovenian, Irish, Estonian, Basque, Icelandic, and Luxembourgian in Latin, Arabic, and other scripts.
Please note that not all languages are available for all formats.
FF Amman is a bi-script family, with support for both the Arabic and Latin script. It is one of the largest Arabic–Latin typeface families designed to date, and one of the very few where both the Arabic and the Latin characters were drawn from scratch by the same designer at one time. Additionally, it is the first typeface family of its kind to contain "true Arabic italics," instead of simple oblique solutions. The family consists of seven sans serif and four serif weights, each with true italics, and full Latin and Arabic character sets.
The family was designed by Jan Gerner, alias Yanone. The typefaces were developed as part of his graduation project at the Bauhaus University in Weimar, Germany. In late-2008, Yanone set out for Amman, the capital of Jordan, following an invitation from Ahmad Humeid from SYNTAX, a local design and branding office. Together, they planned to re-brand the capital city in preparation for Amman's centennial celebrations. While not officially commissioned as a custom typeface, the design was something of a birthday present from SYNTAX and Yanone to Amman.
In the end, the result was widely adopted for use by all kinds of municipal services in Amman itself. All-in-all, it became the perfect graduation project for Yanone.

MORGANTOWN James "Dart" Meadows, who grew up in Charleston, was a great singles player in men's tennis at West Virginia University from 1976-79.
He still ranks 10th among all-time winningest singles players in the history of the men's program which was discontinued in 2003.
Meadows, who is 55 years old, still plays tennis competitively in the Atlanta area where he now resides. He has been an attorney since earning a law degree at WVU in 1983.
His record as a Mountaineer in singles competition was 82-31 (72.6 percent).
"I am surprised," Dart said of his No. 10 ranking. "Terry Deremer had some great teams when he coached there in the 1980s."
Besides the outdoor tennis courts in the WVU Coliseum complex, Meadows recalls playing on indoor courts that his coach, Stanly Farr, owned and operated in Westover across town.
He also remembers that Fred Wyant of Morgantown had courts he used to play tennis inside.
Meadows started playing the sport at about the age of 10 and also competed four years at George Washington High School in Charleston.
He was the Mountaineers' No. 1 singles player in his sophomore, junior and senior years. For most of his freshman season, he was No. 2 in the lineup.
Bob Haller was No. 1 in 1976.
"Yes, I enjoyed my years in Morgantown," Meadows said. "It was a fascinating experience. My father was within a year of basketball superstar Jerry West," he remembers. "Both were attending East Bank High School. But I don't think they knew each other, though."
While Vernon Meadows was attending WVU, son Dart was a baby living with his father and mother in one of Morgantown's trailer parks. West was doing his thing then, but the tot obviously didn't know.
"I wish I could have seen Jerry perform," he said. His father was not an athlete, though.
After graduating in 1979, Meadows did some teaching in Charleston schools before completing requirement for his law degree. He also taught tennis at times during the summer.
He was an assistant coach at LSU for one year in 1980. "That's when I didn't know what I was going to do," he explained.
He did not get into medical school, so he finally decided to become a lawyer. He's doing very well in his law practice and seemingly has no regrets.
Meadows was voted team MVP in 1977. He teamed with Tyke Wilson to win the Eastern Eight doubles crown in 1978. He placed third in singles in that tournament.
He also was a three-time team captain among his high honors. Team scores were 15-7, 14-7 and 15-10.
He will tell you he loves to play tennis because "it's a sport for a lifetime."
Dart and wife Carol have five children - three boys and two girls.
He remains close to WVU and follows its sport.

Full stomachs and short memories in Europe
Full stomachs and short memories in Europe
Memo to Chile: Don't seal up that mine just yet.
"Hide and Ignore" appears to be a political strategy across the Atlantic, where the 27-member European Commission has proposed a five-year ban on animal cloning in food production, despite its own scientific advisory group's repeated findings.
The Commission is the European Union's executive body which drafts proposals for new laws and manages the day-to-day business of implementing policies for the 27 E.U. member nations. In the case of the October 19 proposal it also qualifies as an Ignorance Perpetuation Board.
Like the Luddite uprising two centuries ago that rebelled against the Industrial Revolution's threat to old ways of life, the ban seems to be an attempt to isolate Europe from a changing world. Unfortunately, in doing so it perpetuates consumer ignorance and validates misperceptions about science and advances in food production. Saddest of all, it forgets about the widespread starvation and food shortages that gripped much of Europe during and after both World Wars.
The cloning ban was proposed even though:
• The Commission said it will continue to allow imports of food from clones.
• It admits the origins of such products could not be traced anyway.
• In 2008, 2009, and 2010, its own European Food Safety Authority said no differences exist for milk and meat from clones and their offspring compared to conventional animals.
• Similar food safety bodies in the U.S., New Zealand and Japan have reached the same conclusion.
• Commercial cloning entities already exist in at least eight different countries around the world.
But if "Hide and Ignore" is what the European Commissioners are determined to do, then there's a deep hole available in Chile where all 27 of them can do it really well.

It's been quite some time since DailyTech has posted a Daily Hot Deals post, but this particular deal is simply too mind-blowing to pass over. Newegg currently has the recently released 32GB OCZ Core Series SATA II SSD for $159 -- MWAVE also lists the drive for the same price. There is also a $60 manufacturer's rebate which drops the price down to $99 -- this is a new low for high-speed solid state drives.
The 32GB Core Series SSD has write speeds of 83MB/sec and read speeds of 120MB/sec.
There have been some concerns raised about the performance issues of OCZ's MLC-based Core Series SSDs in recent tests, but the sub-$100 price tag may just be low enough to get some users to at least give the burgeoning technology a try.
quote: This is a subjective category and for whatever reason a random pause is noticed by the user more than a steady slowness.
quote: Friday is payday and I'll likely purchase this drive.

Motorola #iLost ad used a fake address to portray Apple Maps as inferior to Google Maps
0. phoneArena 28 Sep 2012, 08:17 posted on
Making fun of the new Apple Maps is on its way to becoming a national sport. Well, not really, but it seems like everywhere you look on the techie side of the internet there are posts ridiculing the service's shortcomings. That phenomenon was immediately noticed by Motorola, which took things onto the next level and launched its #iLost advertisement (pictured) portraying the new DROID RAZR M as superior to the iPhone 5...
This is a discussion for a news. To read the whole news, click here

Why fandroid? Why do you keep bashing Apple when you are clearly know that every things android have is light year ahead better than ios... We just get used of ios and why do you keep interrupt our preference... Can you please leave us alone peacefully Fandroid? PLEASE!!!!!

u mad?

I'm sad :(
44. ScottSchneider (Posts: 334; Member since: 06 Dec 2011)
You iDiots... This Ad simply means that Google maps Will find you even the address to a place that is not even there... Nice one iNickarena...
59. ZEUS.the.thunder.god (unregistered)
"but it surely isn't as bad as Motorola and Google are portraying it."
Nick would you like to present something which proves that Google has anything to do with it ?
7. MeoCao (unregistered)
This story is ridiculous, this is an ad and not an information to help any1.
Did this ad depict the situation correctly? If yes then what is the problem?
11. wendygarett (unregistered)
But moto faking it just to bash Apple :(
alright I'm surrender... Apple sucks...
Happy now fandroid?
13. MeoCao (unregistered)
How can you call this faking?
What the ad wants to say is Google Maps is OK and Apple's maps is not. The information shown on the ad has no relevance at all.
This is very different from Nokia camera misleading ads.
19. wendygarett (unregistered)
The solid fact has written in the article and yet you say it's not faking??
Does that mean you totally agree "315 E 15th NY" exist and bash apple???
Okay then, Let us meet at "315 E 15th NY" shall we?
22. MeoCao (unregistered)
Most ads are made to convey some ideas and the details in them are not meant to be precise, you can see that everywhere.
Did the information in the ad mislead any1 that Google Maps is good product?
25. wendygarett (unregistered)
ok i confess :)
I'm sorry to doubt at you..
+1 for you my friends :)
"Did the information in the ad mislead any1 that Google Maps is good product?" nope it doesnt mislead, but to bash apple, and that's not very nice at all tho...
28. techspace (Posts: 1036; Member since: 03 Sep 2012)
but there were enough mistakes in apple maps......google could have used any one of those
26. techspace (Posts: 1036; Member since: 03 Sep 2012)
a fanboy will never understand that, fanboys should be ignored..... this ad was made for people who were planning to buy the ip5, not for existing android users or android fanboys, so it doesn't matter what they think,as loud as they may shout, they're the only ones listening
"the other people will agree that this ad is fake and misleading"
i am not a fanboy and i know that apple maps aren't doing great,but google could have showed something that was actually wrong in apple maps.......
52. tedkord (Posts: 11685; Member since: 17 Jun 2009)
It does exist. It's a park. They can't put someone's home address in an ad, so they chose a park. The reason the USPS doesn't have the address is it isn't a home.
Honestly, this was debunked two days ago.
34. Hemlocke (unregistered)
No, not really different at all. They showed they could navigate to an address that the iPhone 5 could not, when in reality, it had rigged the test. Moto, and Google, could be on the hook for false/misleading advertising.
Besides, there are still plenty of things Google Maps does wrong. People in glass houses...
53. tedkord (Posts: 11685; Member since: 17 Jun 2009)
No, they didn't. It's a real address, it's a park in NY. They chose a park because they can't very well put someone's home address in an ad.
40. Pings (Posts: 303; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
Who cares what Motorola has to say. The iFans on Twitter spoke and speak for themselves. This is just misinformation to say Apple's map aren't as bad as Android say it is. Well sorry the people spoke, and the people aren't Motorola. Apple's maps will never be on the same level as Google Maps. Apple does not data log GPS info like Google does. No one can match the level of information of Street View. Companies don't go out and take take pictures and log GPS data like Google does. Nobody not even GPS companies have the GPS data set that Google has. Nobody!

Apple is making multi-billlons dollars of profit leaving behind a ruins of companies that have used to provide jobs. Companies with a steady steam of innovation and technological advance.
After iPhone and iPad its years and years of lawsuits who sueing whom overshadowing innovation.

Oh please Moto, we all know that Apple Maps suck but why faking?! Leave this business to Nokia!

U dreaming....
12. SleepingOz (unregistered)
So the misleading ads of Nokia using DSLR to demonstrate the camera of the 920 was just a dream?
LOL ahh in denial, fanboys are always funny!
50. chaoticrazor (Posts: 2347; Member since: 28 Aug 2012)
but the 920 has already proven it is capable of what nokia said it was so the fake ad should disapear in to history now
5. binerry (Posts: 99; Member since: 16 Mar 2012)
Google Maps isn't right all the time. In fact in my use between Apple Maps and Google Maps I'd say it's pretty similar. I'm not worried about it.
51. chaoticrazor (Posts: 2347; Member since: 28 Aug 2012)
mate as your an apple troll no one believes what you say. facts are Google and Nokia maps are leading and apple maps wont be catching up soon. both Google and Nokia have far more experience
the fact apple were so arrogant will be there downfall.
6. hazzik (Posts: 8; Member since: 20 Aug 2012)
i saw what you did there iphonearena. :D
10. techspace (Posts: 1036; Member since: 03 Sep 2012)
but the Motorola droid razr M showed "315 E 15th NY" , which means that google maps are fake and google proved that its actually a "droidlost"
we have seen what happened to nokia, then why did moto do that.....they could have showed something else that was actually wrong in the apple maps couldn't they?
14. Pyoung0560 (Posts: 26; Member since: 23 Oct 2011)
IPhonearena to Apple rescue again, and at this point in time they are inferior to google maps.
15. MarqBland (Posts: 14; Member since: 28 Sep 2012)
Hmmm...well this is awkward. Thanks Motorola...now hopefully my friends with iPhones that I used this ad to make fun of won't see this article.
29. protozeloz (Posts: 5396; Member since: 16 Sep 2010)
the direction may be wrong but its kinda the truth
17. Sniggly (Posts: 7305; Member since: 05 Dec 2009)
Okay, so they used an address that doesn't exist. Probably whoever made the ad doesn't have their New York knowledge down. The point still strikes home.
32. protozeloz (Posts: 5396; Member since: 16 Sep 2010)
well the fact the Moto got an iPhone right away to make an ad was bogus to begin with
47. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
nah, im pretty sure it was on purpose. accidentally type in a wrong address? G-Maps will still get you close, where iMaps takes you... well... somewhere else.
If they wanted to use a location they know iMaps got wrong, they only have to guide you to the sears tower in chicago(wrong building marked), the statue of liberty (missing), and others.
18. jan25 (Posts: 470; Member since: 26 Feb 2012)
point stands, Apple Maps sucks.
20. Aeires (unregistered)
It was stupid to use an address like that, there are tons of addresses they could have used and gotten the exact same result. That's the main problem, just because the address in the advert is wrong doesn't erase the tons of articles and comments posted over the last week that shows Apple Maps isn't working properly.
Don't get stuck on minor details while avoiding the overwhelming evidence.
21. ronjr123 (Posts: 79; Member since: 16 Feb 2012)
I do not think this is misleading. If you look closely to the screen of the razr it does show a park there. A lot of times the Parcels of land are divided into addresses even though there is no structure. I am sure if you look at the database of addresses in the cities files this does in fact exist. What the add is attempting to show and correctly I might add is that the Iphone5 gives the wrong street entirely.
23. random1204 (Posts: 28; Member since: 26 May 2010)
Well I guess my thing would be that it should still show everything around that address.
On the Android device with Google Maps, it clearly shows the park. So that's what it should show you.
I think they're trying to show that if you put in an address that doesn't TECHNICALLY exist, it still shows around the area that it should be, so you don't get completely lost.
However, on the Apple Maps, it just makes up a false address and messes it all up, which would indeed, get you lost. Because to me, those don't look anywhere near each other at all.
So overall, Google Maps is far more CORRECT and so they have a VALID argument. Yes?
24. AlexYouOC (Posts: 53; Member since: 19 Jun 2012)
So I guess everyone is just gonna ignore the fact the Apple Maps icon suggests everyone commits suicide and tells you to drive off a bridge ?? Yall terrible lol
31. protozeloz (Posts: 5396; Member since: 16 Sep 2010)
yeah, because jumping of Higway 280 is totaly something you want to try.... is an experience to die for
30. fatehahmad (Posts: 1; Member since: 28 Sep 2012)
Bing and Rand Mcnally both displays the same location (used by Motorola) for this particular address. Are they fake too?

The simple fact that this article scam artist is avoiding is the fact that Apple maps is so bad even when given such an address, it's still way off. You ifans are forgetting one thing, even if you are given a bogus sounding address Google maps will get you pretty much to where that address would be. Now stop smoking the apple crack and calling the ad bogus when it highlights even more issues with Apple Maps giving you wrong address, it can't even find where an address would be located even if it doesn't actually exist as a livable address. I found it funny that Google maps decided to create a spot on the map(in the middle of the street), but it got the borough and street correct.
This article is utter irresponsible writing, just grab your phone and punch in the address and zoom in, Google Maps even have the correct side of the street. Total non-story by way of incompetent writing. What is with these biased writers on here, no one asked you to be on Apple Defense Force. Moto shouldn't have put out the ad because well the Droid M is a mid range phone and well who cares what Apple is doing with iPhone 5. Everyone else was here a whole year and change with what they are displaying now, retina display say what????

People, please... Think about this rationally for just one minute here! You dont really think the address leads to a public park by accident do you? What would happen if motorola used a real address in this ad? Let's pretend it were YOUR home address. How long would it take you to file a lawsuit when all these people just suddenly flash-mobbed your house, while you're walking the dog in your robe and bunny slippers? Are any of you guys old enough to remember the songs "867-5309" or "777-9311"? I don't remember which, but one of them was someone's actual phone number. Can you imagine the hell the owners of that phone number went through when that song came out? Can you imagine that owner suing the band for publishing their private phone number in a song that was broadcast to millions of people several times a day for months on end? That why they didn't use a real address! Don't fall for this crap guys, we're smarter than this!

Android is the world most popular OS in the world, but to do this kind of advertising only makes them look bad.. desperate for don't know what?.. I would never see a Apple commercial attacking any one but that doesn't count around here where the fandroids are the majority

How is that any different than one of apple's latest ads. You know the one where they talk about how the laws of physics are just a guideline since they were able to make something larger (longer) and smaller (thinner) at the same time. Well if that's the case, ANYONE can do that, just take a rubber bad and stretch it. Now it's larger (longer) and smaller (thinner) at the same time also. But the apple ad would have you think that the new iphone is breaking the laws of physics.

I don't really see how Android should be in this discussion, Google Maps is independent of Android and Motorola is still run separately.

I think maybe the point of the add was that if you put in the wrong address, Google maps will still try to get you to the closest location where as iMaps will take you some place completely unrelated.
Considering how often people type things in wrong without noticing, I see that as a strong benefit of google maps and one worth showing off.

Has anyone else actually done the search? It is a REAL address for a PARK. I really feel like Phone Arena should remove this slanderous article.
I could see many people needing this address for a variety of different reasons. Maybe someone is having a party, maybe someone from the city needs something delivered.

Delivered for a public event. Just because it's not a house, does not in anyway make this address fake.
