Grand Theft Auto IV: The Ballad of Gay Tony Hands-On ImpressionsBy Sterling McGarvey - Posted Sep 16, 2009
When Grand Theft Auto IV launched nearly 18 months ago, Rockstar Games promised a revamped Liberty City that was bigger than anyone lurking in it. It was a bold claim to make; after all, the PS2-generation GTAs always ended with you in control of the game world. But at the end of Niko Bellic's American tale, two words brought that chapter to a close: "you won." It was an ironic statement, since Niko finished out the game as a small fish in a big ocean. With The Lost and Damned, Johnny Klebitz discovered the sobering limits of loyalty and brotherhood with his biker gang. And with Rockstar's final chapter of this GTA story arc, The Ballad of Gay Tony, we'll see the seedy underbelly of the city's glamorous nightlife. Probably after filling it with buckshot.
In Gay Tony, you'll step into the shoes of Luis Lopez, armed enforcer for "Gay Tony" Prince, a long-time nightlife impresario who runs the hottest clubs in Liberty City, Maisonette 9 and Hercules. As the old adage goes, with more money comes more problems, and Tony's at his wit's end with debt and mobsters attempting to use their invested money to take over his businesses. It's up to Luis to keep the creditors at bay, which most likely involves a variety of odd jobs on the wrong side of the law.
Despite the title, which seems hell-bent on getting your attention, Gay Tony is really focused on GTA4's "Pulp Fiction"-esque "Museum Piece" mission. If you made it that far in the game, you probably remember the "Impossible Trinity" Achievment/trophy that popped up once you cleared it. If you've been playing on 360 and burned through TLAD, you likely recall playing through the mission from Johnny's perspective. Gay Tony promises to show you Luis' side of the encounter. If you haven't played TLAD yet, Rockstar also plans to release both that biker adventure and Gay Tony on a single disc titled Episodes from Liberty City on the same day that the latest DLC episode is available on Xbox Live.
Both myself and The Feed's Jake Gaskill got hands-on time with separate missions from Gay Tony. Here are our documented adventures and ongoing dialogue.
Best Escape Plan Ever?
Sterling: In my first hands-on mission, "Dropping In," Luis must break into the offices of the Liberty City Rampage, a hockey team that Bulgarin, GTA4's ruthless Russian mobster, wants to purchase. And he won't take no for an answer. I'll spare you the details of shooting my way through an office building -- you've undoubtedly done that in a Grand Theft Auto game at some point -- and point out the big difference in this expansion pack. Aside from amusing menu color choices (the pause menu is rainbow colored, and your weapon icons have been redone in a lovely lavender), Gay Tony boasts new weapons, including a P-90 that does nasty damage. The biggest takeaway from the mission came at its finale: after shooting through waves of armed guards, Luis takes out the team owner. Unfortunately for the Rampage owner, he topples backwards toward the office window and takes a multi-story dive.
If it were a Niko mission, you'd have to shoot you way back down the fire escape, take a car, and hightail it. Fortunately for Luis, he came prepared. Luis makes a call to Timo, one of Bulgarin's associates, who's circling the block in a flatbed truck. Luis leaps from the skyscraper, ejects his parachute, and maneuvers his way to a safe landing on the truck. Gruesome deaths and base-jumping? Indeed. With the mission complete, I discovered another post-GTA4 element that Rockstar has implemented into the new pack: mission scoring and replays. If you were one of the thousands who picked up GTA: Chinatown Wars, you might've noticed that you could replay certain missions to get better results on Rockstar Social Club. Gay Tony will allow the same feature for console players. I got to ice a guy, watch him die Hans Gruber-style, then base jump to safety, but still, I'm pretty jealous of Jake's mission.
Don't Pull the Cord...Yet
Jake Gaskill: My time with Gay Tony was split between several base jumping challenges, and one story mission, entitled "Going Deep" (ah, classic Rockstar). One of the much-discussed aspects of Gay Tony is the return of the parachute, and as you'd expect, it's as thrilling and enjoyable as ever. Best of all, your next jump is never more than a phone call away as you can purchase chutes from a friendly gun runner whom you can summon just like in GTA4 and TLAD.
Now, while you can use the chutes whenever and wherever you want, they're only good for one jump. When you aren't randomly and joyously throwing yourself off buildings and bridges, there are also dozens of base jumping challenges scattered all over Liberty City that you can "jump" into whenever you choose. These challenges include activities like passing through a series of rings as you plummet to the ground or locating and landing on specific targets. The skydiving controls are similar to those found in GTA: San Andreas in that they're super easy to get a handle on and they are very satisfying, especially when you're rocketing towards the Liberty City skyline. Plus, gliding through the skies above the metropolis gives you the chance to enjoy the visual splendor of the architecture and design of the city.
For "Going Deep," Luis is tasked with setting satchel charges in an underground parking garage in order to prevent a cadre of corrupt cops from planting evidence against him and his crew. Needless to say, things got pretty ugly pretty damn fast, as is bound to happen when you set up a gauntlet of massive explosions in a confined area like a parking garage. The ensuing battle gave me a chance to check out a few of the games new weapons including a golden uzi, a new sniper rifle and a new assault rifle. All the weapons pack a devastating punch, and, best of all, the fit in perfectly with Gay Tony's tone and theme of excess and greed.
The Biggest Souvenir Ever
Sterling: The next mission I tried out was "For the Man Who Has Everything." Yusuf, a wealthy (and completely insane) property developer, is opening a Liberty City-themed resort in the Middle East. What could accentuate the hotel and casino more than an authentic Liberty City subway car? Nothing. That's why he taps Luis to detach the lead car, at which point he will send in a chopper (normally used to transport military vehicles) to acquire it. The mission starts above the off-ramp of a freeway. Armed with a shotgun bearing explosive rounds, Luis must jump onto the moving subway car from the off-ramp, then work his way to the front of the train. Naturally, LCPD aren't too keen on the theft, so they've planted sniper along the subway route to prevent Luis from getting there.
My time with this mission was probably the most exhilarating part of the demo, if you can believe that shooting down police choppers (and clicking the left stick to duck down as they attempted to swoop in on me) could be more exhilarating than playing as a base-jumping assassin. It's got the right amount of volatile intensity that I've seen in great GTA missions. Hopefully, it's one of several intense highlights, rather than a climactic point in the overall experience. I'd hate to think that I played the coolest stuff during the demo.
Jake: The cultures and histories of the periods in which Grand Theft Auto games are set aren't just backdrop to Rockstar. They help to inform and influence the virtual societies the developer teams create and the stories they tell. Whether it's a mute thug freshly sprung from jail looking to make a name for himself on the original streets of Liberty City, or a savvy killer caught up in the drug-fueled chaos of 80s Vice City, or a tough-as-nails gangster climbing the criminal ranks in the urban warzones of San Andreas; each tale brings to life a singular, creative vision of modern crime inspired by the societal and cultural forces surrounding their main characters.
For Gay Tony, that vision is excess, greed and extravagance, which is a brilliant counterbalance to Niko Bellic's immigrant tale and Johnny Klebitz's grungy story of betrayal and redemption. Leave it to Rockstar to reintroduce skydiving in the DLC chapter that will provide the most dramatic shift in perspective yet seen in the GTA4 saga.
Sterling: I just hope I can base jump from hundreds of feet in the air and drop grenades. That's just excessive enough for my taste.

You guys can have your pathetic little console flame war. I however have a career with a good salary and don't have to rely on the pittance of an hourly wage or mommy and daddy for my games and consoles. I'll be playing all those games you guys are flaming each other over since I have all consoles and a sweet gaming rig. I m so glad that Ballad of Gay Tony is getting back to the ridiculousness that I ve come to know and love from the GTA series because GTA4 was a little bland for my taste.Posted: September 23, 2009 10:25 AM
this game looks a little rusty, don't really wana dust the case off to play the dlc, ill wait for GTA 5 even though i got both consoles....Posted: September 22, 2009 8:24 PM
LMAO PS3 gets nothin always not that im a fan of the Xbox360 but wow they really get nothin. no wonder people love the xbox over the PS3. I give them one thing though PS3 never lets its owner down whle the Xbox gets the red rings.Posted: September 21, 2009 5:54 AM
I expected to hear from Raymond Padilla on this topic.
I won't buy this Add-on because it exploits gay lifestyle, and homosexual stereotypes.
WHO'S WITH ME?!! BOYCOTT!!!!Posted: September 20, 2009 7:06 AM
I happen to think the console flame war is stupid. There is no way to possibly win it. the 360 and ps3 both have great games. especially Now that the ps3 is only $300 it kinda evens out the playing field a bit. The ps3's high price was the only thing stopping me from buying one before. Now I have a 360 and a ps3. And allthough each console has it's pros an cons they both offer great gamming experiances and I don't like one over the other. I have had my 360 for quite a while with no ROD that being said i know there are issues out there but microsoft have been pretty good about repairing or replacing ROD consoles from what i hear.
anyways GTA4 episodes from liberty city looks amazing. i never played lost and dammed so i am glad they are releasing both on the same disc.Posted: September 20, 2009 6:00 AM
i think xbox is doing a great job in keeping things just for the xbox players. i have fnds that choose to buy a ps3 but find them wanting to play or hold my xbox360. (why is this?)Posted: September 19, 2009 6:42 PM
im a big ps3 fan (go uncharted 2, heavy rain and ratchet and clank) but i also see how xbox is great( fable, gears and splinter cell conviction) and they always have the dlc for games like fallout and others like gta4 but im ot gonna choose one or the other cause they both have great stuff. im getting a 360 and then ill get all this awesome stuff and really enjoy it, so all this fighting is useless, both are great systems and boths have their ups and downs, grow up guys.Posted: September 19, 2009 12:29 AM
can't wait huge GTA fan looks awesome and hope niko is the main in GTA 5Posted: September 18, 2009 7:14 PM

Why go in spring: Bikes, brews, and blooms in this riverfront college town.
Claim to fame: Old Town is said to be the inspiration for Disneyland's Main Street.
Better claim to fame: Produces over 70% of Colorado's craft beer.
Nicknames: Fort Fun and FoCo
Official mascot: Colorado State University's Rocky Mountain bighorn ram.
Check it out: Borrow a bike (for free!) from the Fort Collins Bike Library.
Best breakfast ride: Brunch o' Bikes meets outside Brave New Wheel bike shop (105 E. Myrtle St.; 970/416-0417) the first Sunday each month.
Best post-ride lunch: CooperSmith's Pub & Brewing ($$; 5 Old Town Square) for bangers and mash, plus in-house brews. Try the Poudre Pale Ale.
Best post-ride cocktail: Margaritas at the Rio Grande Mexican Restaurant ($$; 143 W. Mountain Ave.; 970/224-5428).
Worth the trip: A drive along State 14 to nearby Cache la Poudre River Canyon (970/295-6700) in Roosevelt National Forest, for views of the spring runoff and wildflowers.
1. A riverfront ride
In bike commuter–friendly Fort Collins, the scenic Poudre River Trail is a bit of a thoroughfare, cutting west to east through the city for 10 miles along the river. The paved trail meanders past white-tailed deer and springtime wildflowers, with turnoffs to downtown and the city's celebrated breweries.
2. Get yourself some wheels
Fort Collins is crazy for bikes, and it has the shops to prove it. Check out the vintage cruisers at Brave New Wheel (above; closed Sun; 105 E. Myrtle St.; 970/416-0417). Or rent a ride from Full Cycle in Old Town, just a mile from the river trail (from $10 for four hours; 230 S. College Ave.; 970/484-1800).
3. Fuel up with a cup
The Bean Cycle is a bike- and eco-friendly coffeeshop staffed by adorable baristas who practice what they preach: biking to work and serving fair-trade, organic java. Try a cup of the nutty Costa Rican blend while browsing the in-house, nonprofit bookstore. 144 N. College Ave.
4. Fill up your basket with bulbs
Downtown's Perennial Gardener, a garden-goodie and gift shop, teeters with birdhouses, lawn gnomes, paperwhite bulbs, potting vessels, and how-to books. Don't miss the courtyard out back with soothing fountains. A half-hour of browsing here, and you'll be ready to flex that green thumb. 154 N. College Ave.; 970/224-3987
5. Cruise to a brewery
Bikes are synonymous with New Belgium Brewing Company, well loved for its Fat Tire amber ale, and just a quick ride from downtown along the Poudre River Trail. Book a spot on one of the popular brew tours (Fri–Sat; free), and don't pass on the Blue Paddle, a pilsener-lager great for spring. Closed Sun; 500 Linden St.
Next: 3 more breweries within pedaling-distance

In keeping with the way this Australian Open has been going, Andy Murray was asked following a quarterfinal win Wednesday about the state of his game. And then, invariably, about the integrity of his sport.
Murray and a much lesser-known British player, Johanna Konta, advanced to the semifinals Wednesday. Murray beat David Ferrer 6-3, 6-7 (5), 6-2, 6-3 to reach the semifinals at a Grand Slam for the 18th time. The 24-year-old Konta had a 6-4, 6-1 win over Chinese qualifier Zhang Shuai.
It's the first time since the Australian Open in December 1977 that that two British players (John Lloyd and Sue Barker) have advanced to the final four of any major.

CNJ staff photo: Liliana Castillo Curry County resident Jo Hughes' granddaughter Hannah Hughes competed in the 9- to 12-year-olds goat tying event Saturday in the High Plains Junior Rodeo Association Finals at the Curry County Events Center.
Liliana Castillo
As a girl raced toward the first barrel on her trusty steed, Sally Bland yelled "Go Stephanie!"
Then she realized that wasn't Stephanie. Stephanie was that girl's mother.
"She so looked like her, competing in the same event and everything," Bland said.
At the High Plains Junior Rodeo Association Finals, it's not unusual for competitors to have generations of family watching them compete in the same finals those family members competed as youngsters.
In its 37th year, the association's finals have been held in Clovis since the beginning, Association President Ryan Figg said. As usual, the finals are a family event.
Bland of Tatum has kept time for the finals for two years. She said she participated in junior rodeo with the American Junior Rodeo Association and her children followed with HPJRA. Now her grandchildren, Barrett Bland and Jayce Bland, are competing in the HPJRA finals.
"Of course, it's a lifestyle," Bland said of rodeoing. "What we enjoy the most is time spent with family. We're around people with the same values and morals and beliefs."
Bland said her grandchildren are rodeoing with her peers' grandchildren.
"In this day and age, it's best if parents monitor their friends, their friends' families. Society has changed that much. Here, we know everyone's families. That's very important," Bland said.
Curry County resident Jo Hughes said the families spent much of the summer together, traveling from one rodeo competition to another around New Mexico.
"The friends and memories you make here, you keep for life," she said.
Hughes' children are competing in the finals this year.
"It's so family-oriented," she said. "This is one of the best associations for kids around."
The HPJRA finals include events for children ages 6 through 19. This year, about 100 youth competed in the 5-day event from eastern New Mexico and west Texas.
Bland said she remembers watching Ryan Figg compete in the finals.
"It's just fun for me to see these kids doing this," she said.
The Figgs of Clovis are another generational HPJRA finals family. Ryan Figg's son Colter has competed in the event since he was 6.
Now 10, Colter competes in steer breakaway, team roping, calf breakaway, calf touch and double mugging, but double mugging is his favorite.
"I like just getting to come out here with friends and family," Colter said. "It's pretty cool my dad got to do the same things I get to do."
Ryan Figg said rodeo is a family sport.
"You practice at home together, you travel to different rodeos together and you're with family all the time," Figg said. "It's a great way to raise kids."
Figg's two younger sons, 5-year-old Cade and 3-year-old Cross, aren't quite old enough to compete, but that didn't stop Cross from trying to rope boot heels all day Thursday.
"We don't start them young, they do it on their own," Figg said, laughing. "The time that you spend with them is the most important thing."

Epica + hired gun at Jaxx
Last Saturday, I went to Jaxx in Springfield, VA to see Symphony X, Epica and Into Eternity on the last gig of their current tour. Of these bands I'm mostly a fan of Epica; I used to really like Symphony X but I moved away in large part from the prog-metal type stuff, oh, five or six years ago. Unfortunately, Epica was missing their inimitable frontwoman Simone Simons, who has been ill for some time now. Amanda Somerville, Simons' voice coach (who makes an appearance on the We Will Take You With Us DVD), filled in, and her voice was remarkably similar to Simons' — if not actually a little stronger all around. She seemed comfortable on stage with the band as well, which I suppose makes sense since it was the last gig of the tour. Still, Simons has an unmistakable charisma that I witnessed last year when Epica played this same venue — even though that time I was watching from afar and this time I was right up front — and her presence was definitely missed.
All the bands put on very good performances. The two local openers, Apothys and Tolerance for Tragedy, were solid, and the former band certainly knew their audience when they played a cover of Opeth's "Demon of the Fall." I'm not much of a fan of Into Eternity — singer Stu Block's more high-pitched wailing moments just don't really do it for me, to say the least — but Block is an excellent frontman and Tim Roth is a pretty awesome guitarist. As for Epica, well, they rocked it, although I did wish they would have played more stuff from The Divine Conspiracy. I generally find that album much more compelling than the older stuff, but of their older material they did play the best of it, so I suppose it all evens out in the end. "Sancta Terra" was a highlight for me, all cheesy bombast that's pretty much just sheer awesomeness once you accept the nerdiness factor.
For Symphony X, I retreated to the back of the club and actually ended up leaving early. I just don't find their music all that compelling these days, although admittedly in a live setting they are way heavier and more engaging than on record (Dave Kerman would still call it "panty-waist mallcore/prog-metal b.s." though :). Part of my decision to give up my spot near the front of the pit was that or the last couple songs of Epica's set, some dude who probably weighed 200 pounds more than me decided to shove his way up front and lean his entire weight into me while pumping his fists and screaming. I pretty much had to stop taking photos and brace myself against the stage railing (doing the folks in front of me a favor). After Epica's set, he didn't move, and I decided to find a different spot. Unfortunately, that proved impossible, the crowd was so densely packed. So I retreated to the bar and enjoyed probably half or a bit more of Symphony X from afar.
One final note: the bands were unruly themselves, it being their final show. It was actually kind of hilarious; they were throwing food and other things (silly string, as in the above photo of Into Eternity's guitarist) at each other during the sets, and apparently things got even crazier towards the end of Symphony X's set, after I'd already left. It was cool to see these guys having so much fun, and in front of a very appreciative crowd to boot.
Lots more photos in the full set at Flickr. Of them all, my favorite shot of the night is probably this one, of the singer for Tolerance for Tragedy:

Of all the words that make up Milwaukee speech, bubbler has to be the most distinctive. Why is it that people who live in eastern Wisconsin describe the thing you drink from in the school hallway as a bubbler, when the rest of the country refers to it as a drinking fountain or a water fountain? Bubbler is one of the things that set us apart.
Luanne von Schneidemesser, Madison-based senior editor at the Dictionary of American Regional English, calls the word a Wisconsin shibboleth, which Webster's defines as "any phrase, custom, etc. distinctive of a particular party, class, etc." (Shibboleth in the Bible was the Hebrew word the Gileadites used to distinguish and slay fugitive Ephraimites, who couldn't pronounce "sh." So bubblers might play some sort of role for us if we ever have to invade Chicago.) I often tell my son, whose mother is from suburban Chicago and says drinking fountain, that if you think of yourself as a Milwaukeean, you have to say bubbler. (Does he listen? That's a different posting.)
Actually, though, we in Milwaukee are not unique in saying bubbler. Click on this map and you will see that people also use the word in Rhode Island and eastern Massachusetts. (Check out the other cool maps on this file, too – dividing soda from pop, and sub from hoagie, grinder and po-boy.)
How come we say bubbler? You can probably credit the Kohler Co. The regional dictionary researcher who mapped bubbler's isogloss (the line on a map that defines where the word is generally used) found that the line was very close to the market-area boundaries of the Kohler Co. in 1915. That's according to a podcast by the Madison-based Wisconsin Englishes Project.
Back then, Kohler made drinking fountains (or whatever you call them) with a "bubbling valve," a ball-shaped thing in the middle of the bowl, out of which water shot vertically. The whole unit came to be called a bubbler, and the term was generalized to include devices that sent out a single stream of water, such as the ones we have today. Joan Houston Hall, chief editor of the regional dictionary, says on the podcast that she thought a similar process must have happened separately in New England, though they don't have specific evidence of it.
But Bert Vaux, a linguist at the University of Cambridge in England who used to be at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and who created those cool maps I linked to, says he thinks bubbler started in Wisconsin and then spread east to New England, eventually dying out everywhere but here and there. In an e-mail to me, he said, "This is a common pattern with linguistic changes, in fact – the core innovates, and the periphery is conservative."
In any case, the bubbler isogloss definitely does not embrace Chicago today. Von Schneidemesser, who appeared on that Wisconsin Englishes podcast with Hall, said she was once bored while waiting for a plane at O'Hare, and went around asking people where the next bubbler was. "Not a single person could give me an answer," she reported. "They did not understand the term."
I should add that bubblers can also be found in Portland, Ore., where a teetotaling lumber baron once installed "Benson Bubblers" to cut down on local beer consumption, as well as in Australia, of all places. A City of Sydney Web site says bubblers were installed there in the early 20th century because the practice of drinking out of shared cups and city water taps was considered unhygienic. Perhaps hygiene also played a role in bubblers evolving beyond the original "bubbling valve" device. I found a 1931 item in old Milwaukee Journal archives that referred to a UW study that said bacteria could live in a "bubbling vertical-jet fountain" for 2 to 135 minutes.Here's one more bonus Web site, to indicate how saying bubbler equates with being from Milwaukee: www.thebubbler.com.
Writing about Milwaukee-ese is fun, hey. I think I'll do it again. I have two more posts planned – one to share some of the excellent e-mails and messages I've received since I started on this, and another on the famous Milwaukee word aina.

This June, my wife and I had the privilege of attending thehigh school graduation ceremonies of several home-schooled youngsters. These events not only impressed us withreferences to Christian traditions, family values, and heavenly music; theyopened our eyes and hearts to the possibility of home schooling. Student afterstudent spoke with such eloquence, maturity, and depth of spirit, that manytimes tears flowed freely both on stage and in the audience.
Like most parents, my wife and I want to provide ourdaughter with the best possible education. So despite the fact that she is still too young forelementary school, we have given considerable thought to the various choices.While originally home schooling was not our favored option, the graduationceremonies piqued our interest. And we knew several home-schooled youngsters atour church who were smart, mature, and well adjusted. We sought the advice ofeducators in several Eastern Orthodox parishes in southern California.
Big mistake. What we found was not just lack of support, butopen hostility and outright opposition to home schooling from those who workedin public education. We had hopedthat these Christians, so familiar with the system and its many faults andfailures, would understand our concerns. What's more, many of these educatorsregarded our interest in home schooling as almost deviant behavior. We were told that such a decision wouldnot only endanger the social skills and development of our daughter, but alsodamage her future by protecting her too much .
As Christians we are called to influence those with whom wecome in contact: "Let your lightso shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Fatherin heaven." (Matthew 5:16) TheGospels urge us to work in the world and show forth our Christian nature andcharacter not only through religious faith and talk, but also through how weact and conduct ourselves in our daily lives. Why have so many Christiansforgotten or ignored this work that must be done continually in our lives,especially in the public schools where it's needed most?
Beset by the forces of secularism and educational fads, thepublic education system in California has been steadily deteriorating. And alack of money is not the problem. More than 43 percent of the state general fund and 32 percent of the total budget is allocated to support K-12 schooling. The Heritage Foundation reports that in 2002 California spent roughly $43 billion on K-12 public education. These staggering amounts work out toapproximately $7,000 per student, exceeding the cost of tuition at most privateschools.
All this money is funding some downright wacky practices.For example, most California school districts have banned the use of red ink incorrecting student papers for fear of offending children and damaging theirself-esteem. Many elementary andmiddle schools have also abandoned the age-old tradition of assigning numericor letter grades. Apparently the harsh realities and judgmental stance ofobjective and antiquated methods of evaluating student performance are tooabrasive for the delicate psychological makeup of second and third graders.
Children languish in a system that fails to educate themeven in basic math and English skills.A 2003 survey by the Pacific Research Institute brings to light somestartling and frightening statistics.Although the California State University system only accepts the topone-third of the state's high-school graduates, nearly 60 percent of enteringfreshmen in 2002 required remedial instruction in either English or math. Ifthings are that bad with the cream of the crop of California's high-schoolstudents, imagine how serious the situation must be with the remaining twothirds.
The PRI report highlights more alarming statistics. "Theremedial rates at particular CSU campuses were shocking. At CSU Dominguez Hillsin southern California, 75.4 percent of entering freshmen needed remedialinstruction in math and 78.9 percent needed remedial instruction in English. AtCSU Los Angeles, 64.3 percent of entering freshmen needed remediation in mathand 77.9 percent needed English remediation."
Admittedly, there are limits to what a public school teacheror administrator can do to stem the tide of secularist ideologies and policiesoverwhelming the schools, but at least some resistance should be offered.Christian educators working in the California public education system don'tnecessarily need to promote religious education - the ACLU has insured theycannot - but they can demand that truth, objectivity, and balance be thenorm. Such active involvement inthe system would indeed be reasonable and fair and would bring about somemuch-needed reforms and improvements.Instead, Christian teachers have resigned themselves to do nothing, andworse still, to acquiesce quietly and promote the same biased perspectives onissues. Is the power of a paycheck that strong that it can co-opt and influenceeven the most staunch Christians among us?
At the home school graduation ceremonies, the light ofChrist shone intensely. The truth and reality of how home schooling can changeyoung lives opened up for us a new avenue full of hope and opportunities.Today, the rise of secularism, and government control of much of theeducational establishment, has blinded many Christians to the value ofschooling aimed at excellence and informed by faith. The one surefire way to spurmore competition among schools is parental choice-exercised, for instance, bychoosing to educate children at home. Maybe that way more schools willunderstand that educating a child involves both mind and character.

Arc'teryx Men's Atom LT Vest
This is the perfect vest! Make sure you try it on store to get the right fit, but it works as a perfect mid layer and an outer layer in slightly warmer weather. I've used it to hike, bike, backpack, sleep, and I even wear it to work as it's a pretty neutral and stylish vest. Overall 5/5. Full review
L.L.Bean Men's PrimaLoft Packaway Vest
I had been looking for a lightweight, but warm, vest to wear under my anorak shell, and it seems that recently the packaway style vests have become very popular. I was not convinced that this light, easily packable, vest would add much warmth, but I was wrong! It is very comfortable, and work great under a shell, or alone over a base layer, for winter hiking and snowshoeing. I expect this vest will serve nearly year-round duty. This is a really nice vest, which has surpassed my expectations...from… Full review
Arc'teryx Men's Atom LT Vest
Great extra bit of core insulation for over your base layer or under your main puffy. I often run really warm while I'm moving, but cool down very fast when I'm done for the day. I often bring only a very thin base layer and windshirt, even when quite cold, and then use a thicker than expected down jacket for when I'm done. I often think of bringing a fleece so I have something for on the move, or for when it gets extra cold to wear with my puffy, but because of bulk and weight I often don't. Last… Full review
Recreation Before Responsibility Nylon RipStop Vest
First off, top notch materials, for the hardcore adventurers to staying warm around the fire this is an amazing product. Great fit, function is well thought out, and tailored design meet fashionable and functional. I have tried the jacket and vest, the thought in how the garment is made and assembled is really notable when you are on a long hike or lounging around and forget that you are wearing the garment. The longer tail in the back covers you when you move around and are not surprised by a cold… Full review
Recreation Before Responsibility Nylon RipStop Vest
Although there are many choices in this modern world of high-tech outdoor gear, this vest makes my day, every day. While its fabric, materials, and construction details are top notch bomber, yes really, I am extremely stoked on the fact that everything is handcrafted in America using sustainable practices. They have figured it out and are doing it right on all levels. Go, RBR! Full review
Recreation Before Responsibility Nylon RipStop Vest
A basic, very functional vest from a very unique company. I admire old school, low tech ways to get things done. However, I also admire hi tech fabrics and technologies. I also wish more of our stuff was made responsibly in the U.S. It seems like these sentiments came together in the Recreation Before Responsibility Ripstop Vest. This vest combines Primaloft One insulation with a DWR treated down proof shell made off the electrical grid by Amish crafts people in Iowa on sewing machines that use… Full review
Finisterre Men's Bise
I have the Mark IV version. Subtle improvements include ripstop fabric this year (you can't tell unless you look closely), an inside pocket, and funky contrast lining colours. Shame to see a YKK zip instead of Riri, but you can't have everything! I probably wear this the most out of all their insulation pieces, which I seem to have acquired. Full review
Klymit Kinetic Khameleon Vest
Erik Fisher here, US Downhill Ski team. I've had my Khameleon for a while now. This vest is a revolution in the industry. Klymit's Khameleon is without a doubt the warmest thing I have ever warn (even at 80mph). It is also the lightest form of warmth as well. It is so cool to be able to pump up the vest with the Argon and feel the warmth kick in. If you are ever outside skiing, hiking, climbing or just like to be warm you need this vest! Highly recommend it. [Editor's note, Klymit is one of… Full review
Patagonia Men's Micro Puff Vest
This is a great vest. It was really cheap at the Patagonia outlet here in Reno, and I wanted a down vest but I couldn't pass up the deal on this vest. I use it as a pillow when I climb in my bag and it works great. It folds into itself and zips closed. It compresses to about 2"-3" thick by 6" long by 4" tall. I like vests over jackets personally because they keep my core warm which is all I really ever need (in good weather) and that way I am a lot less encumbered by bulky sleeves. The vest is really… Full review

On the path of history; Touring along the D&H Canal
In Hawley, another large boat basin, the site of the current Bingham Park, served as a depot for another railroad that brought Pennsylvania Coal Company coal from Pittston to Hawley, and then onward via the canal to New York. The town was named after the company president Irad Hawley. In time, that railroad had passenger service west to Dunmore, PA. One of those railroad cars now sits at the public library next to the park.
At first, boats crossed the Delaware River at Lackawaxen, PA by means of a slack water dam, which allowed them to navigate across the river by slowing its flow. However that irritated the raftsmen, who relied on the river's flow to float their timber rafts downstream. So in 1848, the canal was routed over the Delaware River by means of an aqueduct, while the logs tumbled below. Today, you can drive your car through the old aqueduct via Roebling Bridge in Lackawaxen.
While other canals were usually financed by the states, for example the great Erie Canal, the D&H was the result of private investment. It was one of the largest corporations of its time.
Progress, of course, was the enemy of the canal, which was eventually replaced by a railroad that hauled the coal to New York City. The canal was closed in 1898, and soon thereafter, the Roebling Bridge carried automobiles over the Delaware River.

PITTSBURGH, PA (July 9, 2010) – According to the May 2010 Scheduled Airline Traffic Report prepared by the Allegheny County Airport Authority, nine airlines reported increases in passengers at Pittsburgh International Airport (www.FlyPittsburgh.com) in May 2010 compared to May 2009.
A total of 709,212 scheduled passengers were enplaned and deplaned at the airport in May 2010, a 1.5 percent increase compared to May 2009 (709,212 in May 2010/698,422 in May 2009; 1.5 percent increase). It is the second consecutive month passenger traffic has shown a year-over-year increase. Year-to-date totals show traffic down 2.7 percent in 2010 compared to 2009 (3,095,610; 3,181,003; 2.7 percent).
AirTran led the group of nine airlines that posted increases with a whopping a 63.5 percent increase this past May (71,268/43,582; 63.5 percent), which resulted in more than 27,000 more passengers for the airline. Other airlines that reported increases in passenger traffic include Delta (123,106/118,607; 3.8 percent – 2009 figure includes Northwest passengers); United (71,856/64,509; 11.4 percent); Continental (46,910/46,885; 0.1 percent); American (42,643/41,835; 1.9 percent); JetBlue (21,930/18,548; 18.2 percent); Midwest (6,859/6,023; 13.9 percent); Air Canada (3,534/2,959; 19.4 percent) and Myrtle Beach Direct Air (2,842/2,298; 23.7 percent).
"The Spring travel season was definitely positive," said Bradley D. Penrod, Executive Director/CEO, Allegheny County Airport Authority. "By looking at airline schedule projections, carriers are increasing capacity for a busier summer through August. Therefore, we are hoping to see a continued demand for air travel."

Happy Mother's Day!
Just a quick shout-out to all the mothers here at MLBlogs! I hope you guys have a great day, and hopefully your team wins!
Mothers are a huge part of our lives, so make sure to thank them and celebrate them today. My family is trying to convince my mom to let us get some Chinese take-out tonight so we can celebrate…hopefully that will work out🙂
Also, happy mother's day to those who are baseball "moms" – the females who cheer for and support their "boys" through thick and thin. We love them even when they fail us and reject us. It's not easy being a fan, but today the players should celebrate all the female faithful in the crowd. My boys lost big time today, but I know a lot of you got a win from your team!

Happy mother's day! Hope your day with your mom and family is great so far🙂 Too bad about the Padres. It was an ugly sweep at Houston.
I hope you and your mom had a great day! Too bad the Padres couldn't win for you.
It was a tough loss for the Reds yesterday, but we still had a great Mother's Day at the park! I hope you and your family had a good day as well.Russhttp://wight4256.mlblogs.com

Align Slant Thread Main Drive Gear (3) (121T)
As usually, I don't like Align prices. For example Tarot gears would be 1/2 price or less if bought in right place, but the quality here is convincing. gear is very straight if you need it desperately. I know that a slight throw on main gear is no issue as long as it stays in ~1mm range, probably you get a vibration, but functionality is still there. So here you should expect perfect shape. Also I have a feeling that these gears are more rigid and somewhat substantial than Tarot for example. If you agree with price, then you will not regret the purchase. Slant gears with corresponding pinion will change the way your Heli sounds very much !!! This alone is worth to switch to this setup. Just take your straight gear, undo one-way bearing holder from it and screw it on your brand new slant gear, replace with corresponding slant pinion (watch for shaft diameter 3.17 or 3.5) and enjoy :)

Hi everyone,
I'm new to this forum. Recently gave birth to my second child after 6 years and unfortunately he is a preemie. I'm home and he his still in the hospital. Given the fact that I breastfed my daughter, I had no problems getting back into the swing of things and pumping the day after I gave birth to him. I've been using a manual pump since I came home and noticed that my milk supply is slowly decreasing. I was planning to buy an electric pump anyway but I'm having a hard time choosing. I used two different pumps while at the hospital, they were both medelas but there was a real difference between the two. I really loved the Classic medela over the Symphony. Now I started reading about the Ameda Purely Yours and since it is so much more affordable and can be easily carried, I'm thinking about getting that one. Does anyone have advice? I really need to get a portable pump because I will be returning to work in January and want to continue giving my son breast milk. Help!!!! I need a new pump fast!


text: The Knicks allowing Mike Miller to play like Reggie Miller is laughable. How do they let this guy shoot lights out against them? He is not even a player that can average 5 points a game but yet he has more points in one half than he's had in his last 10 games combined. With the way that they're playing tonight I'd rather have Rick Brunson and Chris Dudley play the 1 and the 5 in the second half than Felton and Chandler. No reason to be allowing this group of role players to play with such easy effort against you.

Red Fred in the Shed: Using a Compass
Think of the rhyme "Red Fred in the Shed" to remember how to face north. As you perform the steps below, remember the following.
- To face north, move your body–not the compass.
- Think of the red magnetic needle as "red Fred."
- Think of "N" (the north indicator) as the "shed."
- Follow these steps to face north.
- Twist the dial until N is lined up with the direction-of-travel arrow.
- Keep the compass level as you point the direction-of-travel arrow directly away from your waist.
- Keeping the compass in the same position with your body, turn your body until the red needle aligns with the N (think of it as putting "red Fred in the shed"). You now face north.

Yeah to bad it wasn't marketed right considering your avg consumor thought Centrino was a processor!
As the largest maker of chips in the world, Intel Corp. presents various initiatives pretty constantly, some become massively popular, other vanish into oblivion. One of the latest proposals of the company is Ultrabook, a low-power highly-responsive notebook with maximum performance, feature-set and security. According to Intel, the Ultrabook may prove to be one of the most important market events of the decade, just like Centrino was in 2003.
"The Ultrabook project is much more akin to Centrino: it is a very holistic approach to moving the entire market to a different kind of form factor, not just in terms of its thinness, but in terms of the feature-set. I talked about always on, always connected. So the machine is always aware of the networks around it. I talked about instant on, instant boot capability. We talked about building in integral touch into it, another feature set. So this is as much about the features around the skin, or inside the skin, as the shape of the skin," said Paul Otellini, chief executive officer of Intel, during quarterly conference call with financial analysts.
Intel Centrino platform revolutionized the market of notebooks back in 2003 as it guaranteed high-performance, reliability and Wi-Fi support. Several years after Centrino launch notebooks became much more affordable and nowadays the total available market of laptops is bigger than that of desktops.
Asus UX21 laptop
The first Ultrabooks are set to emerge this year and they will be based on Intel Core i-series "Sandy Bridge" chips. According to Intel, this family of products will enable thin, light and stylish designs that are less than 20mm/0.8mm thick, and mainstream price points under $1000. Systems based on these chips will be available for the 2011 winter holiday shopping season.
The second breed of Ultrabooks will be powered by code-named Ivy Bridge microprocessors due in the second half of 2012. Laptops based on Ivy Bridge will bring improved power efficiency, smart visual performance, increased responsiveness and enhanced security. The systems will also include USB 3.0 and optional Thunderbolt technologies which are part of Intel's ongoing work to drive the PC platform forward.
The third generation of Ultrabooks will be powered by code-named Haswell processors that will become available in 2013. With Haswell, Intel promises to change the mainstream laptop thermal design point by reducing the microprocessor power to half of today's design point, which means something like 15W - 18.5W.
"As we look at this with our customers, we also see that there is a great deal of engineering that has to be done. Because one thing we know is that today, these feature-sets cost more money. But we do not think that PC prices are going to go up over time. So what we have to do is work with the ecosystem to cost engineer these features for high-volume price-point displacement," added Mr. Otellini.

It's quite confusing to read one article that states under no circumstances should anything be put in infant's mouth when mine stayed in the NICU for awhile with the haberman bottle supplementing with formula. My milk came in on Day 4-5 and now getting about 600 mL daily (not counting BF attempts). Is there a link somewhere of the amount I should be getting three weeks post partum? Secondly, I was given a nipple shield by three different LC to use. Thirdly, I am battling some sort of thrush infection I believe. I'm really at my wit's end... admire those of you that DO breastfeed, and understand thoroughly why people stop. My baby's due date is coming up. I'm trying to hang on until then or two weeks past.
Any suggestions? It almost looks like he doesn't open his mouth wide enough. He's interested though.
As far as the thrush possibility... Nips are on fire with stabbing pains at times. Thought I had it under control last week with a cream I made up - lansinoh, hydrocortisone, polysporin, nystatin/triamcinolone, and miconazole mixed with probiotic powder, but stopped taking it and it came back just as bad. So starting back with that.
I need so much help!

You've gotten good advice here. My gut response reading the title of your post was, "Why worry about the evenings? If you need to increase your supply, you should increase it overall." Lower supply (and fussiness) in the evenings is normal, but if your supply is generally good, that's fine, and it all evens out. So your supply in the evening may never be as high as it is in the morning (my supply is still highest at night and in the morning, and my LO is almost two!), BUT, that's fine. Baby adjusts.
It sounds like you are doing all of the right things to increase your supply! I would keep up the good work, and not stress too much about the evening fussies. I know, easier said than done, right?

Here are my tips to all. Bring your umbrella. At night you might need a jacket.
If you want healthy foods on the run, I like La Boulangerie de Montreal/Montreal Bakeries Co a/k/a MBCo in the Complexe Desjardins near the Food Court. (BTW, this entire Food Court is not as franchise-crazy as most, and this year bears a new sign that says "free wifi.")
Lorraine Desmarais solo piano at La Chappelle

LORRAINE DESMARAIS is a pianiste montrealise who performs across and outside Canada. In 1984 she won the Montreal Jazz Festival's Yamaha Award and in 2002, the Oscar Peterson Prize. I saw her at the 2004 Fest in a two-piano concert with Chick Corea, one of her idols.
Last night she performed solo at La Chappelle Historique du Bon Pasteur, a chapel in an old Montreal greystone on Sherbrooke and St. Denis. With a two-story black velvet curtain behind the Fazioli, and a crystal chandelier hanging low above it, this setting is theatrical.

Montreal Jazzfest Day One
June 27, 2010. Posted by Michael Bourne.Add new comment | Filed under: FIJM 2010, Jazz Alive
I came a day early -- Quebec Day, the town mostly closed to celebrate. So many of the Montrealers I know think of themselves as Quebecers, not necessarily Canadians. Pizzedelic on St Denis was open -- trilogie des fromages (parmesan, mozzarella, feta) with green and black olives, pepperoni americain and saucisse Calabrese, on a whole wheat square -- with Borealle rousse (red beer) ...
1st music 1st day: St Luc high school big band playing Herbie Hancock`s `Chameleon` below my window at the Hyatt. I always want to overlook the Place des Arts. Easier to get a room on the fest side, I`m told folks think it`s too noisy. Even the day before, with only sound checks happening, about a thousand folks were hanging on the fest site.
Where the concert pub Spectrum used to be (and last year was a hole) is now a fest boutique and the Pub Heineken. Heard a rockabilly trio called the Hellbound Hepcats, locals all with grease-backed and pomped 50`s do`s. Group`s acoustic bass player was thumping, plucking, strumming, slapping a beat so hard it`s a wonder his bass wasn`t splinters.
Boz Scaggs and Brian Setzer opening night. Andre Menard, the fest`s artistic director, wanted Boz for years but couldn`t get him. I was expecting some of the jazzier standards he`s recorded recently, but he played his own standards, his own jazzy, bluesy, rocky (and quite nasally crooned) hits like `JoJo` for starters and a long `Loan Me a Dime` for an encore. One of the local critics observed that Boz and Brian both have the initials BS -- Quebecois shorthand for Health and Welfare. I observed that below the 49th Parallel BS means something else.
`When we first wanted to present Brian Setzer as a Grande Evenement, we scared the police,`said Andre Menard. Someone saw a picture of the Stray Cats and thought they`d draw a troublesome crowd. Setzer`s big band drew over a hundred thousands folks to the new TD stage on the Place des Festivals, a main artery alongside Place des Arts that the city shut down for a year-round festsite. I`d never heard any of Setzer`s many gigs in Montreal and really didn`t know what to expect. The Brian Setzer Orchestra is a rockabilly trio with the 13 horns of a classic jazz band, rocking and swinging alike.
`I love the sounds of music that come from the blues -- jazz, rock, country. It all comes from the blues,` said Setzer at his press conference. ` I never consciously thought about blending them. It just comes out of my hands.` Setzer`s guitar is ablaze on every song, flashing as much musical lightning as the triple rainbow of lights across -- or the orange flames that leap above -- the TD stage. Setzer talked about that musical intersection of styles and times when the big bands of the 40`s were ending and rock and roll of the 50`s was getting started. That`s where his rockabilly swing comes from, and when he sang `Sexy and 17`, kids jitterbugged on a platform in the middle of the crowd like the kids in turn-of-the-50`s movies. Most of his songs reminded me of jazz and rock classics, especially in Setzer`s arrangements of the horns. He especially quoted Mancini classics, `Pink Panther`and `Peter Gunn.` "Sleepwalk`was a highlight as Setzer extended the eerie warble of Santo and Johnny from his tremolo bar into the whole orchestra. `Flight of the Bumble Bee` was frighteningly fast, like a flamenco guitarist on acid, amplified. Eddie Cochran was his idol, and Setzer criss-crossed Cochran`s `Summertime Blues`with `Be-Bop-a-Lula.` `Rock This Town` was the inexorable climax, and Montreal was indeed rocking.
I`ll be broadcasting live on WBGO from the contemporary art museum at the heart of Place des Arts, `Singers Unlimited` on Sunday the 27th 10AM-2PM and Monday-Wednesday the 28th-30th 2PM-6:30PM. Tim Hauser and Janis Siegel of the Manhattan Transfer (winners of the festival`s Ella Fitzgerald Award) join me on Sunday, and we`ll have other interviews and musical highlights from the festival past and present. Josh Jackson of `The Checkout,` David Tallacksen, and Becca Pulliam from Jazz 88 have joined me and will also have photos and stories from the blog.

A murder suspect who escaped from the custodyof Department of Public Safety officers in February plead guilty to charges relating to that escape.
Teddy Munet led police on an 11-hour manhunt in February when he escaped custody while being transported to Circuit Court in downtown Honolulu.
He faces one count of 1st degree robbery and one count of 1st degree escape for that incident.
He was initially being held on murder charges in connection with the shooting death of William Fallau in August 2012. That case is still pending.
Sentencing for the escape-related charges is set for early September. He faces a maximum sentence of 30 years for those charges.

In my opinion there needs to be an element of spice, and evenly matched sides, both for fans to go believing they any side can win, as well as for the fairness of competing for 2 pts for all sides in this extra fixture.
It being the opening weekend also throws in the ripped up form book, the renewed optimism for a new season, and the first SL appearances of new signings for their clubs.
With all of these in mind, I would go with the following:
Leeds Rhinos v Wigan Warriors
St Helens v Warrington Wolves
Hull FC v Hull Kingston Rovers
Wakefield Wildcats v Castleford Tigers
Huddersfield Giants v Bradford Bulls
Crusaders RL v Salford City Reds
Harlequins RL v Catalans Dragons
In this order:
Hull FC v Hull KR
Harlequins v Catalans
St Helens v Warrington
Huddersfield v Bradford
Wakefield v Castleford
Crusaders v Salford
Leeds v Wigan
Personally I'd try sandwiching the smaller games getting some from the previous games, and some turning up for the last game, as well as those there for all games, like me.

A Threshold Model of Real U.S. GDP and the Problem of Constructing Confidence Intervals in TAR Models (ABSTRACT)
Siklos, P., Enders, W., & Falk, B.
published: 2008 | Research publication | Refereed Journals - Economics
Siklos, P., Enders, W., & Falk, B. (2007). "A Threshold Model of Real U.S. GDP and the Problem of Constructing Confidence Intervals in TAR Models", Studies in Nonlinear Dynamics and Econometrics 11 (3), 7.
ABSTRACT: We estimate real US GDP growth as a threshold autoregressive process, and construct confidence intervals for the parameter estimates. However, there are various approaches that can be used in constructing the confidence intervals. We construct confidence intervals for the slope coefficients and the threshold using asymptotic results and bootstrap methods, finding that the results for the different methods have very different economic implications. We perform a Monte Carlo experiment to evaluate the various methods. Surprisingly, the confidence intervals are wide enough to cast doubt on the assertion that the time-series responses of GDP to negative growth rates are different than the responses to positive growth rates.

Don't want to be passed onOctober 01,2013
Don't want to be passed on
Has anyone else encountered a similar problem dealing with Sen. Bernie Sanders, or should I say his office?
I recently sent him a one-line question requiring a "yes" or "no" answer: "Does the United States possess any chemical weapons?" In a matter of minutes I received a seven-paragraph, carefully crafted and canned response on the senator's stand on Syria. No reference to my question.
I then emailed Bernie's office regarding the lack of security at the Washington Naval Base after the horrible shooting where none of the military personnel were, or were allowed, to be armed. Again, a quick response; this time a canned letter dealing with gun control in the public sector. No reference to the matter of the question.
Next I contacted his office regarding a news item I had read and heard, and asking if it were true. "If you allow the government to shut down, do you still get paid?" Surprise, surprise, a canned seven-paragraph response on the federal budget. No mention of congressional pay.
I have called his office three times seeking answers to my questions and have been told three times that my concerns would be "passed on." To where they have been passed remains a mystery. The latest explanation was that the office is busy and they do their best to respond in a timely manner. They have, but the answers do not address the questions. The staff had no explanation, except to say it will be "passed on" and a disconnect.
Has Sen. Sanders become so disconnected from his constituents, become so lacking in responsiveness and so forgetful for whom he works, that this arrogant type of conduct is allowed, fostered and condoned? To me, he is only reinforcing the widely held opinion that Congress has become an elitist group with little or no responsibility to the voters who elected them and the citizens of their former home state.

Good deed is punishedFebruary 02,2013Staff Report
LONDONDERRY A good Samaritan, who stopped to give someone a ride Wednesday night in Londonderry, had her car stolen by the hitchhiker.
Vermont State Police said that Stacey Bonang, 45, of Weston, picked up a woman hitchhiker on Route 11, near the Mill Restaurant in Londonderry. Bonang gave the woman a ride to the Londonderry Plaza, and Bonang left the woman alone in her vehicle when the woman requested to make a private phone call.
At this point, the female locked the doors and drove off, the police report stated. Bonangs vehicle, a maroon 2012 Subaru Forester with Vermont registration FSH112, was later found Thursday morning crashed into a tree on Route 100 in Weston, near Piper Hill Road.
Bonang reported her car stolen at 8:40 p.m.
The hitchhiker was described as 5 foot, 5 inches tall, with a slender build, wearing a black jacket and dark hair tucked up into a hat. The woman was wearing jeans and boots, with the jeans tucked into the boots. The hitchhiker was wearing glasses.

text: You gotta stick with Oden. He's the type of player that comes once every decade. Athletic mobile 7'1 center that is a monster inside. Think of Amare with fundamentals when you think of this kid. Hook shot with both hands, turnaround J from both sides...has a mid range jumper...I can go on and on with this guy...he's NBA ready now...Durant can beat some teams with just his athletic ability and physical attributes but I see 1-2 years before he fully adjusts to the NBA since he is a bit on the frail side. Both are very special players but you gotta stick with Oden.
