This past weekend, a few dozen gamers converged on Bloomington, Indiana for the 10th ARGfest-o-con, an annual conference for alternate reality game producers and players. While most of the discussion centered around the business and value proposition of transmedia storytelling, a few specific games were demo-ed at the event which could have some family appeal.
The Wisconsin Hustle
The three-day conference kicked off with a card game that simultaneously lowered inhibitions of the attendees and gave them a reason to meet new people. Game designer Jim Babb passed out decks of cards depicting several dance moves —The Spin, The Jack, The Carlton, The Egyptian, The Ladder, The Running Man, and The Travolta — to be used as fodder for a dance-your-pants-off throw down.
The Wisconsin Hustle requires two players and one judge. Each player takes turns pulling a card from their own deck and challenging their opponent to perform that move, preferably with flair. With each successive card, a new move is added to all of the previous steps, allowing a dance routine to build into a longer and longer sequence. The players have to remember the steps in order and perform them correctly to continue playing. The judge collects the cards and determines when the first mistake is made, handing the stack of dance moves to the winner of the challenge.

Especially during these tough economic times, its important that we provide families with a break when it comes to buying school supplies, said Gov. Bev Perdue. The sales tax holiday will make it easier for families to buy the supplies they need, and I encourage all North Carolinians to take advantage of it.
Says Governor Perdue as she pushes for a higher sales tax on items, higher taxes in general, and let's not forget that genius move to cut all State Employee's salaries for 2 months . She sucks!!!!

Politico: Romney currently McCain's top choice for VP
posted at 12:07 pm on June 30, 2008 by Allahpundit
After six posts on this subject, I'm plum out of things to say. Well, almost.
Surprising many Republican insiders, Mitt Romney is at the top of the vice-presidential prospect list for Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.). But lack of personal chemistry could derail the pick…
Campaign insiders say McCain plans to name his running mate very shortly after Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) does, as part of what one campaign planner called a "bounce-mitigation strategy."…
One of the chief reasons the Massachusetts governor is looking so attractive is his ability to raise huge amounts of money quickly through his former business partners and from fellow members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, the Mormons.
McCain sources tell Politico that they believe Romney could raise $50 million in 60 days. One close Romney adviser said it could even be $60 million…
But there's one big problem: Despite the buddy-picture choreography of a McCain-Romney campaign swing, McCain remains far short of enamored of Romney.
Supposedly Rob Portman and John Thune are the leading alternatives, although I don't see how naming Portman would produce any "bounce-mitigation" from Obama's VP pick since most conservatives couldn't pick him out of a lineup. (As for Jindal, "insiders" evidently think his youth would backfire by making McCain look older by comparison, a point I've made before here.) Hugh Hewitt makes a good point too in arguing that if you want Mitt out there raising money — most or all of which would presumably go to the RNC, since McCain's going to take public financing — then it makes no sense to wait until Obama makes his own VP pick. Tap Romney now and let him hit the trail as the newly crowned heir apparent. The fact that McCain wants to wait makes me wonder if I wasn't right in this post in thinking that the two candidates are waiting to see if either will put a woman on the ticket to make a play for Hillary supporters. If Obama names Sebelius, McCain may feel he has no choice but to name Palin and break the "old white guy" monopoly on the GOP.
The only really surprising thing about this is that it's now two months after Bob Novak first reported that Romney was the top choice, and he's still the top choice — even after the strain on McCain's relationship with evangelicals from his repudiation of Hagee and Parsley in May and the renewed outreach to social cons that began last week. Needless to say, for reasons legitimate and not so legitimate, Mitt isn't necessarily the guy to get pro-life Christians fired up to turn out in the fall.

Turntable Talk with Summer Altice: Dj Jessica Who
Summer talks with DJ Jessica Who, a confident, talented and gorgeous woman at the top of her game.
A confident, talented, gorgeous woman isn't as hard to come by these days as she used to be. But to come across a DJ at the top of her game with all of those attributes…well, it's extremely rare! She is not only talented, but she is a very humble, cool, down-to-earth chick. Oh, and she is a SKAM Artist, which is an agency that reps only the best in the world. Ladies and gentlemen, may I introduce you to DJ Jessica Who.
Summer Altice: When did you start deejaying?
Jessica Who: I started eight and a half years ago. I was really young, about to graduate high school.
Altice: What is your favorite style or format to play?
Who: I get really anxious when I'm told a gig is one type of music, like I can't play hip-hop, or it's only commercial house. I feel like I've molded my style based on being able to play things people aren't expecting, whether that is Motown or Merengue. That's where I have the most fun, which translates into the crowd having the most fun. In my opinion, "open format" has come to mean house and hip-hop, or as someone once brilliantly said when I asked the format of a club, "Drake-house." So I guess I'd say my favorite style is anti-format. I love to play really feel-good, fun music, as silly as that may sound, anything that encapsulates that "best night ever" feeling for the crowd is my favorite. But if I had to be specific, I love to play old R&B, hip-hop, oldies, Motown, disco. Stuff you can't always play in a club setting.
Altice: What was your most fun gig recently?
Who: It would have to be between dragon-i in Hong Kong and Pangaea in Singapore. They go really crazy in Asia, and those two clubs both had really good vibes, which allowed me to do things a little differently and still have the crowd right there with me.
Altice: Do you feel the advances in technology have hurt or helped the DJ world?
Who: The dreaded question. I think moderation is the key here, as with most things. Most DJs I know have come to the collective decision that while it has made our lives easier and given us the ability to branch out and play a wider range of music in farther away places, it has also opened a Pandora's box of people who see this as a way to skip all the important steps we took to get here.
I've only been deejaying for a short time in the grand scheme of things, but I did a lot of crappy gigs for no money in order to get where I am now. I think that's a huge part of it, and without that, you have no concept of the value of what you have, and no appreciation for the art of deejaying. I don't mean to sound like your dad with the "value of a dollar" speech, but it's true. Deejaying wasn't a springboard to instant fame when I started. It was a means to be creative and, if you were good at it, to use that gift to give other people a really fun time. That's still what it means for me.
I can only hope that some of the kids who start now with all this new technology are doing what I did, which was learn everything I could about how it started and the people that came before me to mold it into what it has become.
Altice: Do you ever find it hard to get respect as a female DJ?
Who: It's rare. If I do encounter some kind of prejudice based on that, I try not to take it personally. After all, I never considered myself a "female DJ," seeing as I didn't have much of a choice in being female. I just consider myself a DJ. But I'm aware the outside world is going to label you no matter how you see it. As can be expected with all the new technology and advent of the DJ-as-superstar, a lot of the people who have hopped on board the DJ wagon are female. I feel that just like any other new DJs who may not be truly committed, there are a lot of women who may give serious female DJs a bad name.
I've learned to make it into a game to prove people wrong.
I can feel it sometimes when I walk into a new place and start setting up, the resident DJs or staff or crowd will be thinking, "Oh god, a female DJ. This is going to suck," and in all honesty I don't blame them. They've probably had bad experiences. I just start playing and hope that they are pleasantly surprised when they realize I do take it seriously, at which point I can distance myself from any negative stereotypes.
At this point in my career, I feel like I've worked pretty hard. I've been given support and respect from people I've looked up to for years, and that has meant more to me than anything anyone could say about me based on being female.
Altice: Do you feel you have to work twice as hard to prove your skills in the male-dominated world of deejaying?
Who: I don't really see deejaying so much as a male vs. female field anymore. I see it as educated vs. non-educated. I think the informed have to work together to preserve the standards of the art that we value, to protect it from deterioration at the hands of those who don't really value it, or who see it as the new trend. Those who really care about it will still be there when everyone else moves on to the next big thing.
In any case, I believe DJs deejay for other DJs. Obviously, I always try to do the best job I can, especially technically. If I have to play music I don't necessarily love, my creativity or enjoyment of it has to shine though in a technical aspect. But I definitely try step my game up more if I'm deejaying for people I really respect, especially other DJs I look up to.
Altice: What advice would you have for a young female DJ that wants to follow in your footsteps?
Who: I think it would be the same advice for any young DJ. I know it's hard when you're young and you're really excited about something, but take a second to evaluate your motives. Make sure you're in it for the long haul, because if you're doing it right, it's very time- and brain-consuming. You probably will have to work a little harder as a female when you're first starting out. Don't let anyone take advantage of you.
Altice: What are your thoughts on people like Paris Hilton trying to deejay?
Who: It doesn't matter that she's rich and famous; it's just another person who saw it as a fun trend and jumped on it. I think the more dangerous ones are the people whose motives aren't as transparent and appear potentially sincere. I think everyone thought "It's about time" when she decided to deejay; it was somewhat inevitable with the way things were going, and I wish her luck in her blossoming DJ career. I don't waste time worrying about it; she's not taking any money from me.
Altice: Where are your current residencies?
Who: I'm at LIV on Wednesdays with the awesome DJ Ross One, and Pangaea in the Hard Rock once a month. Other than that, I get to travel like crazy, which is exhausting but amazing. Coming to you live from Hong Kong as we speak!
Altice: If you could tell your 12-year-old self anything, what would you say?
Who: It's not the end of the world. I was a pretty introspective, anxious kid. Everything seems dramatic when you have no adult frame of reference.
Altice: Coming from a gorgeous woman like yourself, what cities have the hottest women?
Who: Miami, obviously! Miami has very obviously hot, confident women. And New York too, which has a more understated, cool hotness.
Altice: What is your dream gig?
Who: Honestly, it doesn't have to be the most spectacular party ever. My dream gig is a party where I can do no wrong. Where I can literally play all the music I've ever loved, and have people absolutely raging right along with me. It's a really good feeling.
Altice: You deejayed Playboy's Super Bowl party this last February in Indy…Is a Playboy party the ultimate gig?
Who: That was such a fun party. There were girls hanging from the rafters. Literally. It was a really classy, sexy, well-organized event, and I got to play really good music, which is always a plus. Ne-Yo performed a full show, which was amazing. Playboy is the ultimate in playful fun. Only they could pull off a party like that.
Like I said, she is not only talented, but also eloquent, smart and an all-around great example to all women that you can have it all. Please check her out at www.djjessicawho.com

Developer: Brainbox Games
Release date: October 25th
Toronto, Ontario, August 17, 2005 - Groove Games today announced its agreement with Universal Studios Consumer Products Group to publish an interactive game based on Universal Pictures and Atmosphere Entertainment MM's' recently released horror film, George A. Romero's Land of the Dead.
The film, which critics have called "a compelling, striking vision," "a masterpiece" and "tour de force," hit theatres on June 24th, 2005. The full-featured, first-person shooter video game sets players in the midst of a gruesome adventure in which they battle to save themselves - and a quickly-diminishing living population - from an army of the dead bent on spreading a zombie plague.
Developed by Brainbox Games, a Digital Extremes Studio, and using the Unreal Engine, the game features terrifying zombies, frightening effects, an immersive storyline and key environments seen in the film. Gamers can also join intense, bone-chilling multiplayer battles against the dead on Xbox Live.
"George A. Romero's Land of the Dead is a new classic in the zombie film genre and Groove Games is excited to bring games based on the film to the PC and Xbox," said Jon Walsh, CEO of Groove Games.
"The game features intense action that horror fans will love, and the ability to play head to head against other players in zombie-infested levels is an absolute blast." In the game, a horrific plague has broken out and mobs of zombies are roaming throughout the tri-state area, killing people at random. Gamers must quickly arm themselves and destroy these horrible creatures by any means necessary. Gamers will learn of a fortified city, Fiddler's Green, which is the last bastion of safety for the living. They will need to survive a harrowing journey to the city, and if they do, will discover the frightening lengths to which the living will go in order to save themselves. Gamers can wage war against the dead with a variety of melee weapons and ranged weapons, including Sniper Rifles, Baseball Bats, M16s, Fire Axes and even shovels.
The unique multiplayer modes allow players to work with or against other humans while eradicating the Zombie-infested wasteland. "We are thrilled with Groove Games' ability to deliver a game that combines frenetic gameplay with true moments of fright, and to capture the adrenaline of the film from which it is inspired," said Bill Kispert, vice president of Interactive, Universal Studios Consumer Products Group. "Universal has a long heritage in the horror genre and we are excited to once again extend that heritage into the interactive gaming space." The Land of the Dead: Road to Fiddler's Green video game will be released in October 2005.
For more information about Land of the Dead: Road to Fiddler's Green, please visit www.groovegames.com.
About Land of the Dead
George A. Romero's Land of the Dead is the acclaimed director's long-awaited return to the genre he invented, beginning with the seminal Night of the Living Dead and continuing with Dawn of the Dead and Day of the Dead. In this new tale, Romero creates a harrowing vision of a modern-day world where the walking dead roam an uninhabited wasteland and the living try to lead "normal" lives behind the walls of a fortified city. A new society has been built by a handful of enterprising, ruthless opportunists, who live in the towers of a skyscraper, high above the hard-scrabble existence on the streets below. But outside the city walls, an army of the dead is evolving. Inside, anarchy is on the rise. With the very survival of the city at stake, a group of hardened mercenaries is called into action to protect the living from an army of the dead. George A. Romero's Land of the Dead is written and directed by Romero and stars Simon Baker, Dennis Hopper, Asia Argento, Robert Joy and John Leguizamo. The film is produced by Mark Canton, Peter Grunwald and Bernie Goldmann. This film has been rated R (Restricted-Under 17 requires accompanying parent or adult guardian) for pervasive strong violence and gore, language, brief sexuality and some drug use. Please consult www.filmratings.com for further information.

Snowboarding Forum - Snowboard Enthusiast Forums (http://www.snowboardingforum.com/forum.php)
- Off-Topic General Discussion (http://www.snowboardingforum.com/off-topic-general-discussion/)
- - The MMA/UFC Thread. (http://www.snowboardingforum.com/off-topic-general-discussion/95713-mma-ufc-thread.html)
The MMA/UFC Thread.
in the spirit of the NFL/NHL/soccer threads i'd like to start an MMA thread - who else watches?
these days i'm more into watching fights than any other sport, the UFC obviously markets them the best and thats pretty muc what i've been watching but feel free to discuss Belator, WEC, Pride, K1, etc.
lately i've been enjoying the TUF season so far; Ronda sucks as a person and is a boring fighter to watch, i'd love to see some girl stop her with savage striking... i just don't know who that women's fighter is yet.
i thought the Jones/Gus decision was a bad one - althought the fight could have gone either way i don't see how it was a unanimous decision.. Jones was pulped.
for me the most interesting and entertaining division is the 155lbers. Benson Henderson sucks and was a boring fighter so i loved seeing Pettis whoop him. my favorite fighter right now is Rustam Khabilov... watch some tape on him if you don't know who he is.. he suplexes dudes onto their heads for KOs on the regular. they call him little Zangeif lol. i think he's actually a better fighter than the other Dagestani, Khabib Nurmagomedov (21-0!!) and the two of them will reign 155 within the year....
so - who else watches?
I watch UFC events occasionally, but I watch every episode of TUF. I think I liked last season possibly the best of any I've ever watched. This year has been less exciting for me. Wish that one guy wouldn't have been injured and sent home.
I agree with you about Ronda, I'd love to see someone beat her down to.
Yeah it's been my favourite sport for a good few years now. I love the realness. And once you start to understand the technical nuances it can be fascinating. Compared to other sports stars they don't get paid shit though.
Been following Pettis since before Strike Force and I'm hoping Big Rig sticks one right on GSP's chin.
Big country is my hero.

I am a huge MMA fan and watch almost everything I can get my hands on. I am actually watching the latest MFC event as I am typing this. I am looking forward to Shina Aoki's next fight, but I wish he would stop fighting cans and get a real fight.
Shred, I totaly agree about Rhonda and really hope Miesha crushes her this next time around. I love love to see like a knee right of the middle and crush her face....maybe to discpictive. I also agree on the Petis win, I hated Benson, his christ bullshit annoys me. Also the Russian suplex machine is the shit!
hendricks is a beast and of course he could win but GSP is a worthy champ..
roy nelson is the shit - i love his additude. HW is kinda thin overall it seems right now..
Ronda is a one trick pony, and a terrible additude.. dishonorable, insecure, trying way too hard to convince everyone she's tough... bitch, you're a fighter and you're surrounded by nothing but other fighers - everyone's tough; get over yourself. everyone gets beat eventually....
DId you guys read roger huerta's story? Kind of sad to see he's gone but at least he's happy
I haven't had cable for a while, so I haven't seen much lately:thumbsdown:
But I did put in a solid 5 or so hours @ my neighbors on the weekend..
GSP vs Diaz card & Jones vs Belfort card.
Fuck, Vitor looked horrible, might have had something to do with the killing machine standing before him:giggle:
He just looked really slow, not the Vitor of old.
The GSP vs Diaz fight was ok, not as entertaining as most Diaz fights.
He couldn't do shit, worst he's done in a fight in a while(@ least the ones I've seen)
GSP's jab is unstoppable @ the moment.
Big Rig has that lunging monster left, but it only comes after a weak little jab.
I don't know if Big Rig is gonna be able to get that setup right in there?
It's gonna take to long to throw that bomb out of the pocket without a setup shot.:unsure:
You can crack a guy in the face with a jab all day if he keeps lunging in with a haymaker.
^^agree with entire post. Just watch the streaming fights online. I have a pretty sweet HD link.
Watch most events...use to watch every single Pride/WEC/UFC event.
I boxed for a few years and did some MMA training. I'm older now but being able to fight is valuable and has gotten me out of a lot of sticky situations.
I love Jose Aldo, Pettis, JDS, GSP, and Huerta even though I don't think Roger fights anymore.
I thought Jones was gonna be alot more untouchable than he has been in the last couple fights.

Preston finds itself in a bad position this morning.
Three years ago voters approved of taking ownership of the former Norwich Hospital campus in that town from the state for the token price of $1. They approved of the purchase knowing that for a decade attempts to find a viable developer for the property had failed. Preston voters also knew that before development could take place it would cost many millions of dollars to remove old buildings, haul away hazardous materials and clean up other pollutants. And no developer had demonstrated the wherewithal or willingness to pay for that remediation.
But having approved of the town taking responsibility for the 393-acre property, the townspeople now seem unwilling to make any further substantial investment in the site to ready it for development. In fact, residents appear disinterested in the whole matter.
On Tuesday voters rejected an $8 million loan package - a $4 million, low-interest state economic development loan matched with $4 million in local bonding. That investment would have attracted a nearly $1 million federal grant. The $9 million would have enabled the Preston Redevelopment Agency, which has already overseen substantial clean up of the site, to remove and abate some of the largest buildings and improve prospects for redevelopment. And for every 100 jobs created because of any development, $1 million of the state loan would have been forgiven, potentially the entire loan.
It is hard to imagine the town getting a better opportunity to prepare the property for development, which was the reason for obtaining it in the first place, in hopes of generating the property tax revenues that this tax-starved town desperately needs.
But by a 319-261 margin voters said "no."
As disappointing as that vote had to be for the redevelopment agency and first selectman, more alarming perhaps was the apathy, with only 15.5 percent of voters bothering to weigh in on such an important decision. While a snowy day at the end of November, three weeks after a presidential election, was a lousy time to hold such a vote, that turnout was still pathetic. (Ongoing negotiations with the state prevented town officials from including the item on the Nov. 6 regular election ballot).
Contrast Tuesday's turnout with the 70 percent of eligible voters who turned out in May 2006 to approve the development agreement with Utopia Studios Ltd. for its proposed entertainment complex and theme park. That deal fell through when Utopia could not demonstrate the financial ability to undertake such a massive development.
Six years later, First Selectman Robert Congdon and the redevelopment agency have lost the interest of the town. After years of false hopes of landing a developer, the apathy is tangible. Attendance was poor at the informational hearings held leading up to the vote to discuss the $8 million loan package.
Without money, without public support and confronting indifference, the property could very well become an albatross for Preston, sucking up resources to secure, insure and maintain, while generating nothing in return.
Those who fought this plan have an obligation to suggest what comes next. And if nothing comes next, their's will turn out to be a pyrrhic victory.
As for Mr. Congdon, who has made trying to develop the former hospital property a centerpiece of his long tenure as first selectman, this comes as a personal defeat. It will be interesting to watch whether he seeks re-election a year from now and, if so, can he obtain it.

CEO answers questions
CEO Jez Moxey's programme notes for last night's game with Oldham were dedicated to questions received from supporters via Wolves' Official Twitter site - @officialwolves
The notes are reproduced below.
Royston @79Rmp
@OfficialWolves what is happening with redevelopment the northbank looks a monstrosity on its own #askjez
David @daveazzopardi1h
@OfficialWolves #askjez When are you planning to continue development of the stadium. Stage by stage this stadium could be one of the best
James Fielden @James_Fielden2h
@OfficialWolves what happened to the new video screen and can there be a scoreboard installed? Was mentioned when I was on the WFP.
JEZ: We received many stadium-related questions so I have grouped a sample together. First of all, I would strongly argue against calling the North Bank a 'monstrosity'. I think it is a first class facility about which we receive excellent feedback and when you are embarking on a long-term stadium redevelopment there are always going to be periods such as these with one stand looking different to the rest. At the moment, with the club in League One, there are no plans to continue with the redevelopment given the substantial investment that would require. However, the advantage of a phased redevelopment is that we can pick up the threads whenever appropriate and I know the Chairman remains fully committed to continuing when the time is right. In terms of the video walls, we mentioned at the time that we weren't pursuing that idea after the completion of the Stan Cullis Stand. Again though, we remain very much aware of supporters' views regarding Video Walls and a scoreboard and it all remains under discussion in terms of future plans.
Johnny Gallagher @Johnny_G2012
@OfficialWolves How has your role changed since Kevin Thelwell's promotion? #AskJez
JEZ: In some respects it is all still early days with the new structure at the club which, six months on, is still evolving. The way football clubs now operate means the sort of role Kevin has taken on is becoming more and more prevalent. Not only are there the players and the transfers to deal with but also the medical side of the club, Sports Science, Player Liaison, and in our case the Category One status for the Academy for which Kevin played an instrumental role. His position means that he is able to take a lot of the burden away from Kenny who then, as Head Coach, can focus as much of his attention as possible on coaching and developing the first team. It helps me in terms of Kevin being able to take more of an overseeing role and then pass on his thoughts to the Board and myself for further discussion. I still remain very much involved in matters such as transfer negotiations in and out, recruitment, and many other areas of the business in the same way as any CEO. I should also point out that, like every fan and anyone connected with Wolves, I am disappointed and hurt by what has happened over the last couple of years and want to do everything within my power to help improve the Club's fortunes.
Joe @JoeDymock
@OfficialWolves Where do you see Wolves in 3/4 seasons time #askjez
JEZ: Difficult one Joe as I think the last couple of seasons have proved you can never look too far ahead in football. However, I would say we believe we have found an excellent Head Coach in Kenny Jackett who is working very well in the new footballing structure and we have a young squad of players with the potential to get better. First things first let's try and achieve promotion, which as we have seen from the points totals at the top of the league is going to be difficult, and then take things from there.
David Evans @devans87
@OfficialWolves with the recent resurgence of the safe standing debate, what would #Wolves view be on this if it went through? #askjez
JEZ: It may be seen as a bit of a sit-on-the-fence answer at the moment but we are just keeping an eye on the debate David. There are many different authorities involved and while we all understand the preference for many supporters to stand at football matches, we must also remember the reasons why all-seater stadia became necessary in the first place. We welcomed the Football Supporters' Federation to a Fans' Parliament meeting two years ago to give us a demonstration of safe standing. Our position remains that we are happy to support a trial of Safe Standing and to ensure a robust and evidence-based debate on what is a very sensitive and delicate issue.
Dave Wells @ginjad83
@OfficialWolves Why dont we pre pour pints to speed up service at half time like most clubs do #askjez
JEZ: I have spoken to our Catering people Dave who have explained the situation on this one! This is something that has been considered and indeed tried but when it was there were complaints about the taste and fans saying they preferred to see the pints poured. Many clubs who do pre-pour benefit from having dedicated 'beer areas' without the cooking equipment at our catering stands and in the Stan Cullis Stand we do have 'speed pumps' which can pour a pint in six seconds. Our Catering Manager does tour the stadium on a matchday to assess the catering operation and is always thinking about possible ways to improve our service to fans.
john woolley @DevizesWolves
@OfficialWolves will jez be standing or prefer to sit when Leons invoice comes in after the Carlisle game?... :) #askjez
JEZ: Very good John!!! Yes I will certainly be mopping my brow! I think the answer is that if there are a decent number of fans who have decided to go to Carlisle to support the team because of the free travel then that is the sort of 'result' we are looking for. Once the game was moved to a midweek we knew how difficult it would be for supporters and so decided to trial the 'free travel' idea which we know has been a popular talking point for many years. Yes it is probably the longest journey of the season and so yes that will potentially cost the club more money. But if the team come back with three points spurred on by a larger away contingent that might have travelled then I am sure everybody will be happy.
loyalwolves @loyalwolves
what's your favourite flavour of pie? Mine is chicken and mushroom. #AskJez
JEZ: Mmm tough question. I'm known for being something of an expert in this department. I'd probably go for Steak & Ale.
Stuart Elliott @mrstuartelliott
@OfficialWolves It seems the club/team/sponsors etc are doing a lot to engage fans this season. Why wasn't this done before? #askjez
JEZ: We had a few questions on this subject Stuart. What I would probably say is that we were carrying out fan engagement previously, to a fairly extensive degree. We have always tried to be as open and accountable as we can. I attend every Fans' Parliament meeting and both Steve Morgan and myself have previously carried out 'live blogs' answering questions and I know we answer all correspondence and have a very interactive approach with our Official Twitter account. What is undoubtedly true is that it has been difficult for a lot of the fan engagement to have an affect in recent seasons – because the team just haven't been winning football matches! In those situations it is very difficult to say or do anything to improve people's moods and feelings towards the Club and, given the circumstances, that is no surprise. But I would also agree that it was a decision to try and improve our fan engagement this season, however events transpired on the pitch, and to try and help supporters feel more a part of the Club again. With the help of Kenny and the players, and various initiatives, hopefully we have progressed in that respect but will not be complacent and must always continue to be aware of fans' opinion and feedback and act upon it when we can. That also reminds me that we will soon be reporting back on the Fans' Survey sent out during the summer. We received over 6,000 replies, which is a fantastic response, but has just meant it has taken a fair amount of time to collate all the information.
JEZ: Thanks for all the questions and I am sure we will be able to do it again soon!

On the Road Again, and Again, So Help Me
WE WERE CALLED the Dixie Diesels. All five of us hailed from Illinois and none of us had ever wrestled an 18-wheeler, but we could dream. Playing western swing music in dance halls and dives across America was our trade. Steel guitars and fiddles were our tools. The road was where we lived.
The road is freedom; it is escape and redemption; it is flight from sins and sadness, a new place to start over. Yet for all its sweet mysteries and seductive charms, the road can become a brute, a bully insistent on demonstrating just who the boss is at any time. On land or sea, or in the air.
It was 1976. I was 20 years old. The band was somewhere in Utah, rolling along in the old van we used to shuttle ourselves from one gig to the next. It was around midnight and a beautiful moon illuminated the nearly empty two-lane road. We drove in fair weather and foul—the show must go on! We forged through prairies, badlands, mountain passes, bayous, followed coastlines and rivers. We crossed innumerable borders. And we traveled through deserts, as we were doing that night.
We were 100 miles from the nearest town when our battered van barreled over some lumber strewed across the tiny highway. Tires blew, metal screeched. We hobbled to a stop and crawled out to inspect the damage. Two tires gone, no spare, no cellphones then (although I doubt there would have been service anyway). We were stranded. Just like that, the road, our home, turned on us and laughed, in the middle of that silent, empty moonscape, black but for the heavens.
Eventually we were able to hail down a pickup truck, possibly the one that had lost the two-by-fours. It was full of visibly drunk locals. One of us—I believe it was the drummer—made the long trip into town with the drunkards, risking life and limb to see to it that we were towed in. The van got repaired, and by dawn we were on our way.
'We drove in fair weather and foul—the show must go on! We forged through prairies, badlands, bayous, followed coastlines and rivers.'
I've spent the better part of the 37 years since then on the road, playing music in theaters and arenas, coffeehouses and churches. Just last winter a calamity of a different kind than I'd experienced all those years ago in Utah befell me. I live in Austin, Texas—a rather convenient location for somebody who travels to both coasts as much as I do. I was booked to play a concert in Halifax, Nova Scotia, as part of a January weekend event called—what else?—"The in the Dead of Winter" festival. Getting to Halifax from Austin by plane wouldn't be that hard. Only one stop, in Chicago.
I made it as far as O'Hare. It being the middle of winter, there was a blizzard, and the Chicago-to-Halifax leg of the trip was canceled. The next flight to Halifax departed the following morning. Getting my bag and my guitar was a lost cause, and I had no place to sleep. There I was, alone and stranded. The road had reared its devil head.
Back in 1976, I was pretty rough and tumble. But I'd developed a taste for comforts over the decades. Knowing that sustenance would be key to surviving whatever might come next in Chicago, the first thing I did was buy a very large bag of chocolate-dipped popcorn with almonds. Then I booked the best hotel I could find near O'Hare—a sort of oxymoron—and took a cab there.
My missing suitcase housed my overnight essentials, without which I am lost: Egyptian cotton pajamas and a small electric fan for white noise. I was condemned to polyester sheets and a night filled with the ringing bells of the elevator that was right outside my room. The popcorn was wonderful, thank goodness.
Outside my window, the snow swirled and sparkled in the dark. The wind whooshed and whined, a buffer against the lonesome quiet of my strange hotel room. I was wearing my Wolford tights and Hanro undershirt, with my shearling coat settled over me like a big, warm hug. I stopped fighting the almighty road and its dark humor and fell asleep.
Come morning, the skies had cleared. I caught my plane and made it to Halifax in the dead of winter. The road dealt me a new day, as it always does.

+1 on everything you said.
I had a Security Six for a few years that was well used and still performed flawlessly. I currently own and carry a SP101 in. 357 w/2" barrel and Hogue grips. It feels great in my hand, rugged, quite accurate at personal defense range(Im by no means a great shot), and the recoil is extremely manageable given the size of the firearm(much better than a composite light weight revolver and still easily concealed).
My only complaint with the Hogue grips was that they were a little bulky when using speedloaders, but it is easily relieved by some compentence and dremel. The factory front sight is also a bit lacking but still usable/easily upgraded.

Temari encounters the first of the members (a woman that uses swords to produce wind) and leaves Gaara and Kankurō to chase after the other three members. Shortly after, Kankurō encounters another ninja that uses a three-bladed sword that can separate yet still be connected by a wire. Gaara leaves to chase the other two members. Gaara then finds himself a battle with a huge, robust man who has a spiked flail. The Four Celestial Symbols Men prepare to kill Temari and Kankurō; however, Shikamaru saves Temari with his Shadow Imitation Technique, and Kiba saves Kankurō.

Student Development Survey
Elementary Student Version
The Student Development Survey – Elementary version (SDS-E) measures students' opinions about themselves and their school regarding areas of development along the six pathways, school climate, and attitudes towards reading and school. The SDS-E is a 40-item survey that asks students to rate how frequently they perform particular behaviors or experience feelings described in the items. The four-point rating scale ranges from "all of the time" to "never." The responses are coded in the following manner: All the time=3, Most of the time=2, Sometimes=1, Never=0.
The SDS-E is designed for students in grade 3 to grade 5. It contains nine dimensions, listed in Table 1 below with the items that define them. All of the dimensions are scored in the positive direction; the higher the mean score,* the more favorable the students view of that dimension. The mean score can range from a high of 3.0 to a low of 0.0. For example, if Student-Teacher Relationships has a mean score of 2.7, this means that most students like their teachers and feel that their teachers care about them and believe in them all or most of the time.
Before computation of the mean score on the Safety dimension, items 32, 33, and 34 were reversed in the following manner: 0 is changed to 3, 1 is changed to 2, 2 is changed to 1, and 3 is changed to 0.

Explanation of pathway dimensions on Student Development Survey – Elementary Version
A statistical procedure known as Principal Factor Analysis** completed on the pilot data from responses of approximately 240 elementary school students, grades three through five, yielded five pathway dimensions: social development, ethical development, language development – expressive, general cognitive development, and thinking. The items defining the psychological and physical pathways did not group together to form the relevant factors. This may be a reflection of the items selected a priori to operationalize these pathways and/or the developmental stage of the respondents. For additional technical information, please contact Dr. Christine Emmons, Director of Program Evaluation at (203) 737-4004.
*The mean score on each subscale represents the sum of the average score of each person on the set of items defining the variable (see Table 1), divided by the number of people responding to that subscale. For example, the score of each student on each of the Student-Teacher Relationship items would be added, and then divided by the number of items (5) to obtain each student's mean score on Student-Teacher Relationship. Each student's mean score would be summed and divided by the number of students, to get the overall mean for Student-Teacher Relationship.
**Principal Factor Analysis is a procedure through which items are grouped together to form a factor or dimension that represents how closely these items are measuring the same underlying construct.

She dose have alot of haters tho :(

Cory and his devil in disguise wife make me sick. He is a huge liar and it is all on tape. Leah watch it is real slo motion like your brain is. It is no one's business why you are going to rehab, maybe you want a sex change, you may have better luck! But he is a huge liar and he would never live to call my mother a liar. Your mother told the truth about what he said, and had it not been for her, you would not have your children. to me you sound suicidal. But before you do commit suicide ask that freak ex husband why him and that beauty queen don't have kids of their own. she jumped right up to see why your mom was crying when you texted her :miracles happen here" someone should have slapped the nosey dog down, she is there to cause trouble to any and everyone , remember she has the same nasty tobacco chewing creep you luckily got rid of and never believe him or her. But you are going to make it girl you are!! I love your mom, do you not see the love she has for you?

I love this show! So happy my life wasn't chronicled during my teen pregnancy and early motherhood. Amazing that ppl comment such hateful things…like they know them personally. Sorry, ten min, once a week, a couple months a year isn't enough time to KNOW a person. Heck, reading their fb would make u know them more! Yet everyone has a rude opinion. I think theyre great and deserve a medal for having to endure nasty rumors and fake allegations. PS. To. Jennel,:: it sucks everyone acts like ur the ONLY MOM TO EVER GET ON DRUGS. Not that its OK, just the fact that there's more ppl that do some type of drug, than there are ppl that don't, yet u get blasted like u r the first!! Wonderful job overcoming your addiction and goin back to school! For the haters If u dnt like the show, dont comment, just dont watch. Its weird for someone to hate the show, yet tune in and read articles on the internet just to comment and put someone down. #getalife

Hate is a pretty strong word to use for someone that annoys you. People stop hating on other people. You never no someone until you walk a mile in their shoes. Unless you have a child with a disability you should be a little more cautious on what you say of someone you have never even met.

Kailyn , I am a mom of 2 boys and as I say that have my first granddaughter. I think you should know that through everything you have went thru (with your mom) I couldn't imagine for one second not being a part of her life. You are an amazing young lady you deserve all the best that God has to offer!!! you are a wonderful mother and I am sure wonderful wife to Javie!! Thank you for being and setting such a good example of what a true mom should be. Please always be blessed in everything you do!!!

Kailyn ~ you have matured into a nice young woman. The viewers can clearly see how well you took care of your son, Isaac. You look wonderful and should be very proud of yourself. You had hardly and support from your mother, yet you succeeded! Best of luck to you, Javi, and your children!

I watch teen mom 2 all the time and Kailyn~ I think that you are a good mom and I think that jo and you should try to get along better for your son sake but other than that I think you are doing a great job.. Do I think that you should be having a another baby well I don't think that you wear really ready to have this one but I think that you will be a good mom to this baby because you already are with your son.. As fair as you and your mom go I think that you have matured in to a bright young lady and just keep your head up because you are doing a great job and I wish you all the best I hope that I will be able to see you on more teen mom 2 soon :)

The apartment exceeded our expectation and it was perfect for my husband's 70th birthday family celebration. It was very spacious and well equipped for 7 people. The views were incredible - it must have the best view in Venice and we enjoyed every minute of our stay.The location is perfect too, very central and yet private. Our host Barbara and her colleague Valentina were extremely helpful and nice. We shall definitely return.
What a fantastic apartment! The position overlooking the Grand Canal, with balconies looking out opposite the Rialto Market is simply sublime to watch Venice go about its business. 5 mins walk to the water taxi stops of Ca D'or or Rialto. It is also a huge apartment in size. Easily sleeps 7 comfortably (and could be 8 if the single room had a double bed in it). Fully equipped,everything we needed, also has good Wi-Fi. Booking and service by Barbara and Valentina were superb - great information prior to arrival, met on arrival and talked through everything, restaurant recommendations, location etc. As others have mentioned there is some noise from the bar below and the dock itself as its used to load/unload, but Venice is a city and this is to be expected, so bring some earplugs if you are a light sleeper and you will be fine - it didn't bother us. Again, superb location, wonderful apartment, great service - we will be back!
Lovely view and perfect position - however, very noisy, next to a bar which at the weekend played music till 3am and on other nights cleared bottles and rubbish at 5am!
Organisation on arrival was very poor - arrangements made with Barbara had not been passed on to local staff and caused unnecessary hassle.
On departure the staff member checking the apartment was very abrupt and rude, wanting to fine us for leaving bagged rubbish, stating that instructions were clear in our written guide - which was actually in Italian!
The apartment was in an excellent position, easy to walk to all districts in Venice, being situated very close to the Accademia Bridge over the Grand Canal. It was also a few doors down from an excellent restaurant; expensive but the quality of food was superb and service friendly and efficient. We enjoyed the view from the living room balcony which looked out onto a quiet canal and gave us a flavour of working Venice as opposed to Tourism. We were a bit concerned at the state of the floor in the main room which was wooden and some of the squares were collapsing which meant being very conscious of them when walking around. We were also disappointed in the lack of cooking facilities; there was only a hob with two hot plates, no grill or oven which was a pity for us as we eat a lot of fish and were looking forward to buying some from the famous fish market in Venice. However the representatives were friendly and helpful and sorted out water taxis for our return to the airport. We did enjoy our stay in Venice and couldn't have asked for a better location.

Amazing location, excellent accommodation.
The flat is excellent and the view is extraordinary!
Lovely living room, comfortable rooms and good space in the kitchen.
I do recommend this property for you vacancy!
The location is fantastic. The balconies look right out over the Grand Canal, with views of the Rialto Bridge. It is a spacious apartment, and its living and dining rooms look out on the Grand Canal. We spent much time on the balconies enjoying the life of the canal - gondolas, vapoettos, and all of the working boats that are really the "trucks" of Venice. The Grand Canal is vibrant and alive -- a truly fabulous place to be. Plus, the apartment is located on a back street far away from the crowds of Rialto, and there is a wonderful small restaurant called "Taverna al Remer" right next door. The kitchen was good, and we cooked all our breakfasts and one dinner there.
If I could, I'd rate it 4.5 stars (not 5) for a minor reason which may or may not matter for others. The apartment easily accommodated the 7 of us, it did not have enough of the essential supplies (toilet paper, trash bags, bath soap and dishwasher detergent), so we had to spend time shopping for them. Overall, we'd love to return to this wonderful apartment. Given its location, it is a true bargain, and a gem.
Met on time by Venetian Lorenza - very helpul and professional - flat has wonderful views of Rio del Megio (Campiello opposite was painted by very famous 19th American artist). Great facilities close by in Campo Giovanni del Orio - supermarket and cafes/restaurants (Il refolo by the Church serves one of the best Francia Cortas), wine shops - all good. Air conditioning ice-cold if required.
Shower has mobile head and adequate. Evenings can be noisy due to to "concerts" (I'm being kind) in the Campo. Very beautiful part of Venice. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. George and Denise
