Here is the thing. DD is 13 mo and has multiple foods allergy and she starting attending the nursery (full-time) two weeks ago since I have to go back to university and finish my degree. I am going crazy these days not only because seeing her crying her little butt out when I leave her there but mostly because she would hardly touch any of her food there. Also I was planning to go two times a day just after her meals and nurse her just to make sure that she won't starve herself. But she would hardly nurse a minute or so! Then I take her home and skip my lectures since I cannot bare the thought to leave my baby starving throught the whole day The mananger at the nursery convinced me that it might worth trying to send bottles while she's at the nursery because she would not be able to settle down if I kept going there. It's true that whenever she sees me she would cry so much and cling to my neck hoping that I'll take her with me. ahh poor thing
Anyways, at the age of 13 mo I still puree her food and she can eat only a very limited variety of foods because of her allergies. And on top of that she only takes a couple of spoons on her own free will and as for the rest of the feeding I have to try really hard to put on quite a show (starring many toys and things) in order to take her attention off the so 'dreadful' feeding and while she's playing I feed her. It's always been like that and since I succeeded to increase the amount that she was eating from a couple of spoons to just over 3 oz I was happy to do it. So now she has purees two times a day and then some oats or quinoa porridge for breakfast and tea time. I think it's about time that we have at least one meal that is only solids (say at lunch time) but with her refusal to eat and the difficulty of getting her actually eat I don't see how this is going to happen. Also I am concerned that we are turning meal times in play times Please give some tips on how to deal with her. I'm so sick of spoon feeding her that way! BTW I've tried BLW approach but she gets bored with food almost immediately and starts mashing it on the floor or between her hands and giggling
I really hope that some of you knowledgable mamas will have the solution for my worries

Never-ending education
PCC trustee decision to cut winter classes holds up students hoping to transfer and finish
By Nick Smith 01/17/2013
Hundreds of students, faculty and staff gathered at Pasadena City College campus last week to protest a decision made in August by the school's Board of Trustees to eliminate this year's Winter Intercession, a condensed semester that lets students advance their degrees between fall and spring. Opponents say the decision was made contrary to the school's historically democratic decision-making process.
"… [D]ecisions on the academic calendar [were] made by an academic calendar committee," says PCC student and protest organizer Sarah Belknap. "And on that committee, you had faculty, students and staff who could sort of bring concerns from all across campus to the table, come up with the best possible schedule and then move forward." According to Belknap, the schedule and calendar approved by this committee were overturned by the board.
Over the past two years, in fact, the board and administrators have continuously excluded their constituents from the decision-making process, most recently with the imposition of the three-term calendar, which has affected students' educational plans.
"At PCC, we had a system where we had a regular fall semester, a six-week winter intercession, a spring semester, and then we'd have an eight-week summer session," said Belknap. "This lets students basically be full-time, year-round students and take a lower load during each individual semester."
Psychology instructor Julie Kiotis said teachers were told at the last minute there would be no winter classes. "So the money that faculty were counting on to pay their own children's tuition was no longer going to come in," she added.
After the initial cancellation of the winter term, students organized a petition drive, gathering 2,700 signatures — about 10 percent of PCC's student body — calling for the board to reverse its decision, to no avail.
Now, unable to take a winter physics course required for her to transfer on time, Belknap worries for her future.
"I've already been here for three years, when I was planning on being here for two. I'm 26. I'd like to get a bachelor's degree before I'm 30. I'd like to enter the workforce. I'd like to be a productive member of society," she said.

Dear members,
Thank you, NarutoBase Staff
I'm not good at summaries, so here's the article.
Well that sucks. They should finally introduce Spider-girl. Like she's stronger than spiderman.
Noooo, Parker!!! Ah well, I haven't been keeping up to date with the Spidy comics in ages.
In the Marvel Universe anything can happen I mean absolutely anything. I'm damn sure that spidey will be back. The level of change is so cheap now that I moved on to the Ultimate Universe. Believe me its a lot more interesting and if someone dies they stay dead and the story pprogresses beautifully without them
damn... peter parker died. RIP
Ehhh, I'm an Iron man fan so I'm good
But nooo, not spidey! Hopefully his death/switcheroo will make for a great storyline till he's eventually brought back to life.

Certificates of Deposit
A certificate of deposit (CD) is an interest-paying savings vehicle. A CD has a stated maturity date, a specified interest rate and can be issued in any denomination by commercial banks, thrifts and credit unions.
How It Works
A certificate of deposit is a promissory note issued by a bank, thrift institution or credit union. It is a time deposit, meaning the institution keeps your money for the stated time and you are restricted (in the form of a penalty) from accessing the money prior to the maturity date.
This type of investment is less liquid than a cash deposit such as a checking or money market account. Because of this, interest rates are usually higher compared to cash deposit rates. If you must access the money before maturity, you will pay a penalty (typically a loss of interest payment over a certain period), which will eat into your total return.
A typical CD can be purchased for any amount and has a number of time period options. The most popular are between three months and five years. Usually, a longer holding period means a higher interest rate. CDs are insured by the FDIC up to $250,000.
There are numerous types of CDs meeting most any investor's holding period, interest rate and initial investment needs.
Traditional CDs, which most people are familiar with, allow you to deposit any amount of money, at a predetermined rate for a fixed time period. CDs with an initial investment of less than $100,000 are called small CDs. These are typically purchased by individual investors.
CDs with initial purchases of more than $100,000 are called jumbo CDs. These are usually purchased by institutional investors such as pension funds.
A bump-up CD gives you the option to increase the interest rate on your investment if the bank has increased the rate after you bought your CD. For example, if you bought a three-year CD at 5% and one year later the bank raises the rates on three-year CDs by 0.5%, you have the option to get the higher rate (5.5%) for the remainder of the term. Typically you have the option to do this only once during the holding period and the initial rate on the CD might be lower than a traditional CD rate to reflect this option. This can be a good option if you expect rates to rise substantially in the future.
A liquid CD allows investors to withdraw money without a penalty. Most banks will require a minimum balance over the life of the CD. Banks can also set a first penalty-free withdrawal date whenever they like, so you still may not be able to take out money right away. Also, there might be a limit to the number of withdrawals you can make over the CD term. The interest rate will typically be higher than a cash deposit account, but lower than a similar term traditional CD.
Zero-coupon CDs are very similar to zero-coupon bonds. You buy a CD at a deep discount to par, which is the amount you will receive at maturity. The coupon payments refer to the interest payments, so a zero-coupon CD will not earn interest. Your return depends on how much the initial investment is discounted from its par value.
Callable CDs allow a bank to call back a CD after the call-protection period expires, but before its maturity. In this case, the bank is attempting to shift interest rate risk to the investor. If rates fall, they can call any CDs with higher interest rates, and reissue them at the lower rate. There is typically an interest rate premium for investors purchasing this type of CD.
Brokerage CDs are sold through a brokerage firm. They often pay higher rates and are more liquid because the broker creates a secondary market. [For more detailed information about brokerage CDs, see the Offbeat Offerings column in the May 2007 AAII Journal.]
How to Trade
You can purchase a CD through any bank, thrift or credit union, and some brokerage firms. With the popularity of online banking, you have more options and more competitive rates. Your neighborhood bank may offer a rate that is more than it offers on a cash deposit, but typically an online bank can offer an even higher rate. This is because they do not have the costs associated with running brick-and-motor branches.
Investing in a CD at a bank or online is easy. After filling out the requisite paperwork, you can send the bank the money either via check or e-transfer from one bank to another. After the CD matures, the bank will typically transfer the money to a chosen account, or will roll it over into another CD.
Investor Suitability
Putting your cash reserve in a CD can earn you more interest than using a cash deposit account.
A more sophisticated way to invest in CDs is through laddering. Interest rates rise and fall as the economy ebbs and flows, and most investors do not want to get stuck in only low-interest-rate-paying CDs as rates are rising. One way around this dilemma is to ladder, spreading the maturity of your CDs over various timeframes. This technique assumes that longer-term CDs are almost always offered at a higher rate than shorter-term CDs.
As an example of a five-year ladder, with $20,000 to invest, you would invest $4,000 (or $20,000 ÷ 5) in each ladder "rung," with the rungs consisting of one-, two-, three-, four-, and five-year CDs. After the one-year CD matures, it is rolled over into a new five-year CD (because after one year passes, each remaining CD has one year less until maturity). This will continue as long as you decide is appropriate.
By replacing the longest maturity CD each year, you will be getting a higher rate and if rates are rising, you will not be stuck in a long-term CD and unable to earn the higher rate.
Tax Consequences
For all CDs, you are taxed on any interest earned. Zero-coupon CDs are taxed on "phantom income" even though the actual interest is not paid to you. Your bank will send information about your interest earnings for tax purposes each year.
The Pros
• Safe Investments
CDs are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. (FDIC), for banks, and the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA), for credit unions. They are guaranteed to return the agreed upon rate over the CD term. [Make sure you understand the rules for FDIC and NCUA insurance coverage to ensure your CDs are fully covered.]
• Higher Rate Than Cash Deposits
Because you do not have immediate access to the cash, banks typically offer a higher interest rate on CDs than on traditional cash deposits.
The Cons
• Liquidity
Most CDs do not have liquidity without penalty. If you withdraw the money before maturity, you will be heavily penalized.
• Interest Rate Risk
Because you are locking in an interest rate, you may miss out on higher rates if interest rates rise. The longer the CD term, the higher the risk that your original rate will be lower than the going rate before it reaches maturity.
• Low Return
Compared to other riskier investments such as stocks, the returns can be very low.

Don't Miss the Big One!
Don't miss the big what? The 41st Annual Convention 2011! This time is in Southern California. July 6th to July 10.
There is plenty to do at the convention in Long Beach! Check out the presenters and the convention activities at http://sabr.org.
This will be my first time attending a SABR convention. I really wanted to go last year to Atlanta but I could not work it out into my schedule. But this time being so close to home, I am there!
I am also looking forward to meeting more members of SABR and going to the Dodger game on Friday night and the Angel game on Saturday. Also the tour of historical Southern California ballparks sites, including Wrigley Field, The Los Angeles Coliseum, Gilmore Field, Washington Park and the Vernon ballpark.
I am not sure if I can make it to see the Visalia Rawhide at Lake Elsinore. I never been there. Did you know that Tom and his cousin Kevin O'Malley own the team? Tom's grandfather was the legendary Walter O'Malley,
Check it out! Don't miss the big one! The price is very reasonable, more so if you are a member.

Not even Saint Rita could help the Dodgers with the debacle in the 7th inning. The Rockies scored 5 runs after the Dodgers were leading 7-3. Worst loss of the year. Is going to take a while to forget that loss.
Thanks Virginia!
Vote for Matt Kemp and Andre to the All-Star!
Yeah, I am excited about that! but first I got a road trip coming up at the end of June.
You are back! sure will take lots of pics!
Bay area road trip! That sounds like fun Kristen! Enjoy!


text: Hi, my son is 9 months old and has been breastfeeding very well. he was born prematurely at 5 lbs 4oz, and had open heart surgery when he was 4 months old. now, he is so strong and healthy and weighs almost 22lbs. since the surgery was done and he recovered so well, i decided to go back to work. (i'm a single parent). i was living in PA and got a job in MD. so here's the problem... being a single parent, i can't really pick up and go. so i had to leave my two children in PA with my parents until i find a place for us to live and childcare. (i pick up my key to our new place today, but no luck on the childcare yet.) i started this job on March 20th. they have flex time and allow me to work 4 10-hour days which gives me a longer weekend to go home and see my children. i've been pumping while i'm away from the baby, but lately i'm not getting as much. my breasts have gone back to their small size and i'm worried that i'm "running out of milk." i don't want to have to give up breastfeeding. i didn't breastfeed my first child because i didn't know what i was doing. i've come so far with this one and i don't want it to end. i've been taking some alfalfa supplements to increase my milk supply, but it doesn't seem to be doing anything. can anyone help?

We're introduced to a desolate Earth where, many years in the past, an alien race attacked humanity and, in turn, destroyed the moon, which caused all sorts of natural disasters and left Earth uninhabitable.
The humans eventually won the war but lost Earth, so they jettisoned off to Saturn's moon, Titan.
The movie opens with Tom Cruise's "Jack" as he dreams of old Earth, vastly populated, and sees a woman that seems eerily familiar. But his mind has been wiped as part of protocol, so he shouldn't have any memories of someone he may or may not have known in the past.
He lives in an awesome-looking, futuristic villa propped high in the clouds with Andrea Riseborough's "Victoria."
They seem to have an idyllic, almost 50s inspired suburban relationship. Cruise heads out every day to repair the drones which are protecting massive machines that hover over the world's oceans, sucking up all the water to supposedly take to Titan while Riseborough mans the control room in the house and guides him.
Cruise is only allowed to venture out into certain areas due to radiation contamination. And he has to be wary because some of the alien invaders, known as Scavs (short for Scavengers) were left behind and are wreaking all sorts of havoc.
But it seems like the Scavs aren't trying to destroy Cruise. They seem intent on trying to capture him.
That's where the mystery starts, and it creeps along at a snail's pace until the conclusion, which you may or may not figure out halfway through the movie.
Director Joseph Kosinski is probably best know for 2010's "Tron: Legacy," and he continues to push the envelope of computer graphics. "Oblivion" is only his second feature film after coming seemingly out of nowhere from the commercial world. He's a gifted visual storyteller, but his pacing is a tad bit off at times.
Along with the proposed "Tron 3" he will be at the helm of Disney's remake of "The Black Hole," which would fit him just fine.
He's a good director and has the makings of one day being a great one if he sticks to his guns and fleshes out his writing skills.
Cruise is, well, Cruise. It seems as though he's made for these types of movies. Which is good and bad. You already expect every line delivery, grunt and angry look because you've seen it before.
He turned 50 during the making of this picture, but it's still really hard to tell as he still attempts to do many of the various stunts in all his films.
But Cruise being Cruise only helps the film.
The score was done by electronic music maestro M83 and helps add more of a technological feel to the sleek, futuristic world in which the characters inhabit.
But it's the designs that stand out.
The house they live in. The vehicle Cruise flies around in. The motorcycle he rides. The guns he uses. The drones that guard against the Scavs, They are all streamlined and simple, yet beautiful and seem fully functional in any time period.
The world as it is in the film is nearly gone. We see a few cities overgrown and wasted, but it's never really a true focus. It's been about 50 years since the war; mostly everything was destroyed by nukes, so very few structures are actually still standing.
Basically, the movie is an amalgam of every sci-fi movie ever made. We have dashes of "2001: A Space Oddyssy," "Star Wars," "Planet of the Apes" and tons of others. But again, it's more subtle nods than flat-out thievery, and the story keeps them all from coming straight out in the forefront of the film.
All in all, it's a pretty good sci-fi movie and a decent space drama. It's by no means a forgettable popcorn summer movie, which many are probably expecting; there's more underneath its shiny exterior.
It's always a good year when Hollywood decides to spend hundreds of millions of dollars on a sci-fi film that's both entertaining and thought provoking.
"Oblivion" is playing at Rio 6 Cinemas, 806 E. Houston St. in Beeville.

He was born on Mother's Day, May 11, 1928. He always said that he was the best gift his mother could have received on that special day. His parents are John Gustave and LaPreal Mitchell Winterrose. He enjoyed a simple and wonderful childhood that taught him to work, play and serve. The lessons he learned in his youth served him well as he matured into an industrious, kind and loving young man. In 1947 a beautiful young woman, Jacqueline Lythgoe, moved to Heber City and it didn't take long for Albert to win her heart. They quickly became an couple and were married July 29, 1948. They were later sealed in the Salt Lake Temple in 1953. As the years passed they had 3 children: Rae Lynne, William Michael and Jon Kevin. Through his love for Mom and for us we enjoyed the adventures of life. He taught us to work hard and to value our family. Dad always made sure he took time from his work to take us to Lodge Pole, Mirror Lake, Flaming Gorge, Disneyland, Yellowstone and many other places where we made so many cherished memories. We always went deer hunting above Heber and pheasant hunting on Grandpa and Grandma Lythgoe's ranch in Pleasant Valley.
His work life was full of good times and even some learning experiences. Through all of this he was always positive and made everything work through his foresight and ability to work. During his career he was a grave digger, lumberyard hand, furnace man, salesman, store owner, lumberyard owner, residential contractor and the general contractor on several schools around Utah, including the J.R. Smith Elementary School.
He is a faithful member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He honored many calling given him throughout the years. His service to the community included the Rotary Club, Heber City Council and Heber City Mayor. He was a volunteer fireman for over 45 years and always found ways to love and serve anyone he could.
He is preceded in death by his loving wife, Jackie, of 59 years; his parents; 3 of his siblings: Rayda (Fred) Hamby, Dora and Geneva. Also preceding him in death are his in-laws, George White and Lillie Jardine Lythgoe and their children: Sandra (Bud) Sulser and Hartley Lythgoe, and Dad's favorite son-in law, Mark Alvin Kohler. He is survived by his children: Rae Lynne (Mark) Kohler, William Michael (Treo) Winterrose and Jon Kevin (Jill) Winterrose. He has 10 grandchildren and 21 great-grandchildren. He is also survived by his brother, Jack (Audrey) Winterrose, and his sister-in-law, Shirley Lythgoe. He also has many nieces, nephews and cousins. Special thanks to Courtyard at Jamestown and the Rocky Mountain Care Center for their tender care and love of our father.
Funeral services will be held in the Heber 7th Ward Chapel at 240 E. 400 S. on Saturday, Nov. 23, at 11 a.m. A viewing will be held on Friday evening at the chapel from 6 p.m.-8 p.m., and Saturday from 9:30 a.m.-10:30 a.m., prior to the service.
Interment will be in the Heber City Cemetery next to his eternal sweetheart and he will once again be surrounded by his beloved family on the other side.
Those of us that remain will continue looking to him for direction and love because we know… "Families Can Be Together Forever!" We love you!!!

Buy now; pay later
Buy now; pay later. What a great concept this is. It contributed mightily to Americas growth. It also removed the pain of waiting until you earned your reward.
Properly managed credit is a very useful financial tool, but in the hands of an immature individual it can encourage imprudence that may end up in bankruptcy. Unfortunately, the greatest demand for credit is among those with the least monetary discipline.
Bankruptcy is not fair to the creditors, but of course those who extend credit have an opportunity to examine the borrowers record thoroughly before taking the risk.
Now let us examine another buy now scheme; this one provides immediate gratification to the customer for a relatively modest cost while requiring unspecified payments from future generations. How many generations would be affected? That is also unspecified, and what happens if they cannot pay? That is unspecified, too. What we do know is that it will continue mercilessly for at least 6,000 years and, most likely, double that time.
This is a contract that no sane businessman (or woman) would ever enter into knowingly and theres the rub. Those future generations do not get a crack at examining the risk factor or an opportunity to decline the offer.
All this to avoid regulating the way this generation does business? Those who favor this lack of restriction say it destroys their freedom. That is not their freedom they are exercising. It is their irresponsibility.
If you think this is unconscionable, I would agree with you.
Of course, I am referring to the storage of spent fuel rods from all those nuclear generating plants so you and I can pop two slices of bread into our toaster in the morning (among other uses, of course).
Makes you feel proud, doesnt it? It certainly gives a whole new dimension to bankruptcy and a whole new meaning to irresponsibility, too.
We may have come from monkeys, but stop kidding yourself, it was no ascendancy.
Have fun, kids. Dont forget we love you. Well leave the light on for ya.

State steps up with disaster assistance fundingBy DAVE GRAM
The Associated Press | July 18,2013MONTPELIER Vermont is repeating something that proved popular with towns after Tropical Storm Irene in 2011: getting state disaster relief out early to flood-damaged communities while they await federal aid.
Gov. Peter Shumlin and Treasurer Beth Pearce joined other officials Wednesday to announce that up to $38 million could be made available from the state in towns declared eligible for disaster aid by the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
Once again, Vermont towns are responding to extraordinary weather events that have caused damage and destruction to roads, bridges and other infrastructure, Shumlin said. By placing key state payments on the fast-track, we hope to ease the burden on municipalities with any cash flow issues these storms created.
The money comes from education aid and other state programs that help municipalities, and is to be repaid when towns get the FEMA aid theyre due.
One lesson we learned from the past is that if we can get cash to cash-strapped towns as quickly as possible, we can make a big difference in their recoveries because the federal government tends to move like molasses, Shumlin said.
He later added that the state is still negotiating with FEMA on how much money it will get to fix the state office complex in Waterbury, which was flooded by Tropical Storm Irene in August of 2011. The states plans for the site some partially executed include replacing the Vermont State Hospital with a smaller hospital in Berlin and satellite facilities around the state; demolishing and replacing some of the state offices at the Waterbury site and turning some of the property over to the town of Waterbury.
Wednesdays announcement followed a fresh round of damage from high water caused by recent heavy rains in the state. May through June was the wettest two-month period on record in Vermont, according to the National Weather Service, and the first two weeks of July brought about twice their normal rainfall.
Roads and other infrastructure in Vermont have seen significant damage, while the tourism industry and farmers have had a tough summer season so far.
Also Wednesday, the state asked FEMA to do a preliminary damage assessment in Caledonia County to see if it is eligible for federal disaster assistance. The state already had requested FEMA assessments of damage in Washington, Chittenden, Orange, Orleans, Rutland, and Windsor counties; FEMA officials began touring areas affected by weather-related damage in those counties last week. State officials said storm damage in those towns could total more than $4 million.
The state must show at least $1 million in damage to be considered for a public assistance disaster declaration. An individual county must show damage to roads, bridges, and other public property equaling or exceeding $3.45 per capita.
Meanwhile, towns need to call in private contractors to help rebuild roads damaged by streams overflowing their banks and cant wait to have federal funding in hand before the work gets done, Pearce said.
Receiving expedited funds from the state can be a big help by providing towns with the cash needed now and help reduce any costs that could be incurred if municipalities must borrow money to cover expenses, she said.
Steve Jeffrey, executive director of the Vermont League of Cities and Towns, agreed. Town cash flows tend to ebb in summer due to the property tax collection calendar, he said. This early influx of state assistance will be greatly appreciated and will help tide the towns over until tax revenues and any FEMA assistance becomes available, he said.MORE IN Vermont NewsMONTPELIER Rep.

Modern video games kick the shit out of most ideas of heaven. We've built a million immortal Valhallas and conjured realms that at any other point in history would have required several pounds of hallucinogen and a magic spell that transported you inside Salvador Dali. For the last decade, the word "Katamari" has brought more joy and genuine distraction from the world's troubles than the word "nirvana."
This is a god I'd pray to, just to hear his reply.
But these promised (and delivered by wireless connection) lands have demons, too, and just like in every predictable science fiction story, the real monsters were inside us all along. Six types of gamer take a world where we literally play with a global supercomputer network and piss all over it. We only wish they tried that physically. At least then they'd get the high voltage burns they deserve, where they deserve them.
6The Quitter
Five laps of glorious blue-sparking velocity combat, you've taken the lead at the last corner, you're powering down the home stretch, and microseconds from the finish line, DING! Disconnected! Your opponent would rather switch off their system than let anyone else win. You know that victory is yours, but a big part of gaming is how your brain's pleasure center can be remote controlled by a four-cent sound chip. Not finishing isn't just frustrating, it's long-distance blue balling.
Making this the world's kinkiest sex toy.
Winning doesn't mean anything if it's not possible to lose, but "not meaning anything" is these assholes' entire life strategy. They're trying to create a 100 percent win record at the expense of those numbers meaning something. For example, they've also satisfied 100 percent of all their past lovers, but that's because they know exactly where to touch themselves, and because someone whose idea of satisfaction is cheating to win at Mario Kart is incredibly easy to please. Note that I'm not calling all video gamers virgins. In 2013 that would be like calling all car owners scared of horses. But the sort of person who'd pull out rather than let someone else even enjoy Mario Kart is not the sort of person who has a lover.

"She's just mad because I always come first."
This problem is so endemic that every online game is defined by whether it punishes disconnectors. If it doesn't, it sucks, because it's impossible to win. Which means modern games have to work out how to be fun, administer millions of simultaneous connections, AND engineer a way to punish snowflakes so bubble wrapped that they can't even handle losing at make-believe.
5Single-Class Players
Modern multiplayer games feature more teamwork than a Disney movie about a down-on-their-luck cheerleading squad learning to win a bridge tournament (a challenge that involves learning bridge, then keeping each other alive for 80 years to become old enough to care about bridge). An array of classes and loadouts let players adapt to specific roles and shifting objectives, including point defense, medic, target designation, and farming. Or they could be the third idiot on your team to scream "I WANNA SNIPE" and now you've lost.

"I just find it easier to interact with people this way and don't understand why that's terrifying."
True, a video game is the least worst-possible place for someone to declare that their only joy is long-range shooting things through the head, but it's still terrible. It doesn't matter if your team is going room to room in tunnels or being steamrollered by tanks, he's going to run up a crane at the very corner of the map and spend half an hour plinking at enemy infantry ... which will be much easier for him, now that your team is effectively outnumbered and the enemy are holding a grenade-explosion-based music festival around your spawn points.

"Hi, I've got a delivery for a 'screwed team'?"
This is the sort of sociopath that anti-video-game campaigners have been warning us about. There are infinitely billion single-player games about shooting enemies in the head, but these people don't want to play single player.

"It's only fun if I know they're real people. Wait, where are you going?"
As far as they're concerned, all the other players are just background sprites in their personal game. But because they're not Michael Jordan, you'll still lose and hate them.

Giving Glenn a Hand
My heart is filled with sorrow knowing that Glenn Beck, the insane political entertainment leech that he is, will no longer be employed by the fear-mongering moguls at Fox News. That's right, dear readers. I, and a collective US America, am in mourning. Please, let us grieve.
Unfortunately, this mutual divorce means no more frog murdering on live television. It means no more psychotic temper tantrums directed towards reason. And yes, sadly, my friends, It means no more *oligarhy*.
But never fear! Glenn Beck is the Washington Nationals of politics! He may be an embarrassment to the establishment, but damn does he make things interesting every once in a while!
In fact, rumor has it, he might even start his own television network!
And just in case he might need some help, the RSBS interns and I got right to work on finding the most appropriate network name. Here's a short list of what we came up with:
FoSN – The Full of S*** Network
NOGWN – The No One's Gonna Watch Network
FBC – The Fail Broadcasting Corporation
Can't wait to see what Mr. Beck finds the most appropriate… though early signs point to NOGWN, mostly 'cuz I like how it sounds when you try to say it: "Nahg-wahn".
Hate me. I don't care. Just don't hate me 'cuz I'm right.

Father Coughlin, Joe McCarthy, Glenn Beck. These nuts can burn bright for a while, but it usually doesn't take too long before they burn out. Unfortunately, the damage they do takes even longer to overcome.

Here's all you need to know about the overt creepiness of Glenn Beck: http://twitpic.com/4151yj
I had a recent conversation with some acquaintances on this topic and it's all coming together. Glenn Beck, Drudge and FOX are all part of a second wave of Yellow Journalism. We often forget how a simple phrase, "Remember the Maine," have echoed in various ways through the mouths of Limbaugh, Beck and so forth.
So, I guess Beck will be finding a US warship with a torpedo coming at it…
