Re: This game doesn't deserve a 8.5/10[ Edited ]

Sir Dan might have a great moveset, what's it matter when even a level two has a chance of not getting a kill. His up square has no recovery time to the enemy so you can tech out and then immediately counterattack if you're character is quick or immediately roll backwards. His level three is literally required to get kills on high levels of play.
But obviously, all the fanboys like the one above me should just be allowed to bash other people who post their differences. It's called an opinion, yet every one of you bash anyones opinion differs from yours. What's worse is you guys report people who are rude if their opinioni differs, but those that make comments just as bad that share your opinions you leave alone. This forum is full of hypocrites.
What are you talking about? Everyone's Lvl 2 has a chance of not getting a kill. And always having to use his lvl 3 in meta isn't true. You can still win with lightning alone. As for his up square, that's not something you just throw out willy-nilly.
I respect other people's opinions and no I don't feel entitled. There's tact involved. And I'm pretty sure rudely blaming a character for the player's failure to understand how a character works is unfair to say the least. Also, if I'm such a fanboy as you claim, you don't seem to notice I also want some things about my main improved, I'm just not being an a.s.s. about it. Defending something doesn't make me a fanboy, I know where the faults are, I'm not blind.
You are by far one of the rudest people on this forum regardless of your opinion. I've read your topics and posts. I understand where some of your frustration comes from but you certainly don't show tact. I'm almost certain you come on here just to look for a fight instead of striving to improve the game. Which by the way, calling a "piece of ****" isn't helping or improving anything.

are you kidding, master hand and the bosses in SSBB required wayy more tactics to win and served much more challenge on highest difficulty.
Polygon in PSASBR is the worst excuse for a boss ive ever seen in any game, its literally no different than playing a 1v1, 1v2 and 1v3 match against very easy opponents. even the second last stage with your rival is more interesting with a unique cutscene and decent difficulty

O Stevie! Nicks's Not-So-Secret-Anymore Poetic Subject
It's Game of Thrones! She writes Game of Thrones poetry! Madeleine Davies of Jezebel leads us through the tail-spin:
Today in celebrity news that makes PERFECT SENSE, talented sing-witch Stevie Nicks told Vanity Fair that she's spent the last five months holed up in the enchanted hollowed-out tree that she calls a home, writing fan poems about Game of Thrones.
"Madeleine," you're probably saying. "Shouldn't this gift of magical information wait for Christmas or some other special occasion? Why tell me the best thing I've ever heard on a random Thursday?"
I'm sorry. I just couldn't keep it in.
Nicks tells the magazine that it's been a rough year — her mother passed away and then she fell ill herself, leaving her housebound for a very long time. Luckily, she had GoT to distract and inspire her:
"I worked on the edit of my documentary about the making of In Your Dreams. And then I got pneumonia. With my pneumonia and my mother's death I watched the entire first season of Game Of Thrones—so that was great! That certainly took my mind off everything."
She adds:
"I've written a bunch of poetry about it—one for each of the characters. On Jon Snow. . . On Arya. . . On Cersei and Jaime."
Unfortunately, none of these poems have been published because this world — just like Westeros — is a cruel and unfair place. Here's one comfort: Nicks would like to write some music for the show, but to hell with it, I say. Just add her to the Game of Thrones cast. You could have her replace Melisandre the Fire Priestess and no one would even notice because they're already practically the exact same person.
Oh snap! Make the jump to read the rest.

THE body responsible for developing Gaelic yesterday said that bank customers might cancel accounts if they were not allowed to use the language to write cheques.
Michael Drummond, from Stornoway, was told by the Royal Bank of Scotland he should use English when filling in cheques, despite the bank issuing him with a bilingual cheque book with his name and other details printed in Gaelic.
Arthur Cormack, chairman of Brd na Gidhlig, the national Gaelic development agency, has now raised the issue with RBS Group chief executive Stephen Hester.
Mr Cormack said: "I feel sure that withdrawing this kind of support for Gaelic will lead to the withdrawal, through time, of Gaelic signage on the branches where that exists, and eventually Gaelic may be eradicated from RBS services altogether."
He added: "You also run the risk, against this backdrop and in the current economic climate, of Gaelic-speaking customers removing their accounts from your branches."
A RBS spokesman said the bank was pleased to offer customers the choice of having their cheque books and statements printed in Gaelic. "But it is necessary, when customers issue cheques, that they are written in English, as in the UK that is the language understood by all those through whose hands the cheque may pass from the time it is issued until it is paid.
"We, as paying bank, must be able to verify that the amount written in words is the same as the amount shown in figures.
"If Gaelic is used, that would require having Gaelic readers at every place where Gaelic cheques may be presented. For practical reasons that is not possible, so we must insist cheques are written in English."
But Mr Cormack suggested that the bank should rethink its decision.

Christine & Matt: A Spring Wedding in Danville, CA.
When Christine Hernandez Ang was set up with Matthew Eary by a fellow classmate in grad school at UC Berkley, it was because that friend thought they'd make a great match -- as carpoolers. And Matt did occasionally give his neighbor Christine a lift when her car was being worked on. Christine Hernandez, 30, city planner Matthew Eary, 32, regional economist March 12 Soon the chemistry extended past rush hour and, after several months, they began dating, in 1999. Their love was tested and strengthened in 2001, when Matt was diagnosed with and treated for a brain tumor. Matt and Christine talked before one of his surgeries and they decided it was time to get married. He gave her the engagement ring his father had given to his mother.

A major new woodland will be planted to mark Queen Elizabeth II's Diamond Jubilee next year, the UK's Woodland Trust announced this week.
The 460-acre wood - bigger than Kew Gardens or Regent's Park - will be located in the National Forest in Leicestershire, and will be publicly accessible.
Its creation will be the most prominent part of the Trust's biggest tree-planting campaign ever: Jubilee Woods, which will commemorate the anniversary of the Queen's accession to the throne in 1952 by planting six million trees, to create hundreds of new woods across the UK.
These will include Jubilee Woods of up to 20 acres and 60 Diamond Woods of more than 60 acres across the UK.
The Trust has launched a £3.3m fundraising appeal to acquire the site for the 460-acre project.
"We need help to create woodland for the nation, to give everyone access to the beauty of the natural world, and create a legacy for the Queen's Jubilee," said Sue Holden, the Woodland Trust's chief executive.
"It's a chance to celebrate the reign of one of our best-loved and longest-reigning monarchs while educating people about the need to increase woodland cover in the UK.
"We are one of the least wooded countries in Europe, so there's an urgent need for more trees to help double native woodland cover. We need people's help to make this wood a reality through donations and pledges of support."
The new wood is expected to offer easy access for 10 million people, create valuable new habitat for the nation's best-loved species and become the largest continuous block of woodland owned by a single organisation in The National Forest, which is backing the scheme.
"The National Forest is the country's most ambitious project to transform a landscape through planting trees and creating other wildlife-friendly habitats, so it is fitting that such prestigious woodland, led by the country's best-known woodland charity, should take root here," said Catherine Graham-Harrison, National Forest Company chairwoman.

Today I attended "Red Hot Internet Publicity," a workshop with Penny C. Sansevieri sponsored by the Colorado Independent Publishers Association (from her book with the same name). Penny is an expert in book marketing, but, in truth, she could have been discussing marketing almost anything online. It was comforting to know I'm doing everything mostly right and putting all of the elements in place for marketing my book.
Penny stressed the importance of blogs and what they can do for you and of getting Web sites just right for sales online. She said, in effect, that the top two things that can turn people off on a Web site are (1) an out-of-date events calendar, and (2) an outdated copyright–not for your art or book, but for the copyright of your site itself. It looks bad when people go to your home page and it says your site is copyrighted two years ago.
The author's site will differ from those who are selling art. Authors are there to sell lots of books. And, while artists are often online to sell lots of art, art just looks tacky next to numerous lines filled with sales pitches.

Wave 1 of the Fall Update Preview Program Officially Under Way
Written Friday, October 23, 2009 By Dan WebbView author's profile
Good morning sports fans - although it's technically lunchtime in the Europe (thank fook for that, I'm starving!). A small heads up for those who signed up for the Xbox Live Fall Preview Program, you may want to check your e-mails this morning as Major Nelson recently announced that the wave one e-mails are currently on their way out.
The update on your console is extremely minimal - a couple of minutes tops, so you'll be searching Last FM and all the other new applications in no time. Fear not if you failed to get in on the act in wave one, Major Nelson says that they'll be adding more people over the next few days.
In other preview program news, according to AceyBongos' Twitter feed, Halo Waypoint will be added to the service next week, so keep an eye out for that.

From India's cultural capital of Kolkata to the Bhutanese gem of Paro, journey through lush rice paddies, hilltop monasteries and stunning mountainous terrain.

Why we love this trip
This overland adventure is the best way to see India and Bhutan. Travelling by truck, rub shoulders with the locals as you journey across remote landscapes
The local guides on this trip are the best in the business. Gain insight into the areas visited as you're joined by various experts with specific knowledge and experience
Even though there are lots of included activities packed into the itinerary, you'll have plenty of free time to explore on your own and pursue optional activities
Travel through spectacular scenery, from the rolling green rice paddies of Darjeeling to the remote Phobjikha Valley and the Black Mountains
Spend a night under the stars camping in the Gangaram Tea Plantation
Is this trip right for you?
There will be a lot of time spent in the truck and some long driving days on this adventure - up to nine hours in some cases. The scenery more than makes up for this. It's also a great way to get to know your fellow travellers.
On the first night of the trip, you'll take an overnight sleeper train from Kolkata to Siliguri. While conditions are basic, this a typically authentic Indian experience and the perfect opportunity to rub shoulders with the locals.
This trip requires a decent level of fitness, as there's a lot of hiking and walking involved. In some instances you may be hiking for up to six hours in a day. Please remember to bring sturdy walking shoes and drink plenty of water during your trek.
Due to the high altitude of many of the places we visit, the air is thinner and some people can suffer altitude sickness. Some people aren't affected at all, but if you are, be sure to drink plenty of water and don't push yourself too hard. Please see the 'Health' section of the trip notes for more important information about altitude sickness.
Border Information: If you are joining in Kolkata, you will most likely enter India at Kolkata Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose International Airport (IATA code: CCU).
Please note that you must have a Double-Entry India visa for this trip if leaving in Kathmandu, and a Multi-Entry India visa if continuing beyond Kathmandu - see details below. There will be an important group meeting at the joining hotel at 10:00am. Please look out for a note from your tour leader at the hotel reception when you arrive for more details about this meeting. The afternoon is free to explore Kolkata.
Please note that many of the options listed below will only be possible for those with extra time in Kolkata before the start of your trip with us - please contact the Sales team if you would like to book pre-tour accommodation with us to have extra time exploring Kolkata. We will meet in the evening to board an overnight sleeper train from Kolkata to Siliguri - accommodation will be aboard the train tonight, where there are bunk beds with sheets provided.

About Kolkata:
Kolkata was originally a British settlement, built by the East India Company in the 17th Century during their trading and colonising expansion along the boast of Bengal - it also became the capital of the British colonial government until 1911 when this was moved to Delhi. The city is now India's third largest, and is
regarded by many as the country's intellectual and cultural capital. At first you are assaulted by the noise and chaos of this bustling metropolis, but take the time to explore and you'll discover some impressive colonial architecture, some of the best restaurants in India and a thriving arts scene. Bengali theatre, dance, poetry, art, music and film are all showcased here, and there's usually plenty to choose from on at the city's many venues. An interesting relic of the colonial era is the Victoria Memorial - a beautiful domed white marble edifice set in tranquil gardens, the monument was built to commemorate Queen Victoria's diamond jubilee. Kolkata is also home to the Sister's of Charity Motherhouse, the mission where Mother Teresa did much of her work. Finally, if all the hustle and bustle is getting too much for you, you can explore the vast green fields of the Maidan or take refuge in the beautiful botanic gardens along the banks of the Hooghly River.

and drivers at the station for our onward journey through the narrow winding
roads to Darjeeling. The town of Darjeeling is really more a collection of
villages situated on a high ridge, linked by a series of steps and winding lanes and surrounded by rice and tea terraces.
Jeeps are used in this region rather than our overland truck as they are perfect
for the narrow, steep and winding roads of the area. We will continue with the
jeeps until the trip returns to Siliguri.
Estimated Drive Time (in jeeps) - 3-4 hours (please note that all drive times
given here are the approximate number of hours that the truck will be in
motion only, and does not include any time taken for coffee or lunch stops,
border crossings, photo stops, activities en route, comfort breaks, shopping
stops, toilet stops, etc. The times given are approximate estimates only and
whilst given with the best of intentions, the drive times are heavily dependent
on traffic, road conditions, weather, police roadblocks, and many other factors
- flexibility is essential on any overland trip!).
In Darjeeling we will stay in a local hotel.
About Darjeeling:
Situated on a high ridge and surrounded by terraces of rice, tea, quinine and
fruit trees, Darjeeling is a collection of villages linked by steps and lanes so
steep that they appear to almost be built on top of each other.
The views are fantastic from here, looking down over the rivers below with
Mount Kanchenjunga in the background (the world's third highest mountain, and
the highest in India) - and on a very clear day even Mount Everest can be seen
in the far distance. For the very best view, take a pre-dawn excursion to Tiger
Hill, where on a clear day you can see the magnificent sunrise over the
Himalayas, which is definitely worth the early start.
The cool climate and slow pace of life here are an abrupt contrast to the rest
of India. It's a pleasant place to explore, with monasteries and tea plantations
to visit and Tibetan craft shops and markets to browse through.

take in the atmosphere and culture of this beautiful country and its gentle way of life.
In Thimphu we will stay in a local hotel.
Estimated Drive Time - 6-8 hours (in locally-chartered bus).
About Thimphu:
Thimphu is Bhutan's atmospheric and serene capital, wonderfully located in a
lush valley surrounded by towering mountains. One of the world's smallest
capitals, it was only a loose collection of separate villages as recently as 1960, when it was decided by the King Jigme Darje Wangchuk to move the political base there from the ancient capital Punakha - its diminutive size gives it a unique charm and atmosphere, and it claims to be the only capital in the world that does not have traffic lights!
There are several highlights for visitors to this unique city - the
stunning Changangkha Temple looms above the city and is traditionally a place where new parents come to recieve the names for their new-borns from the deity Tamdrin; the Memorial Chorten in the city centre, built to commemorate king Jigme Wangchuk, is the most recognisable religious building in the country, and the spectacular bronze Buddha Dordenma statue in the hills near Thimphu is one of the most beautiful and ornate Buddha statues in the world.
The nearby Moitithang Takin Preserve is a wonderful natural conservation area
for the rare takin mammal, endemic to this region of Bhutan.

About Paro:
Paro is a small town in the west of Bhutan, set in a stunning valley surrounding the ancient Rinpung Dzong - this fortress and monastery
was built in the 17th Century as a defence against Tibetan invaders.
Paro is most famous as the gateway to Bhutan's most iconic structure - the
phenomenal Taktshang Monastery, commonly known as the Tiger's Nest
Monastery, lies 10 kms from Paro clinging to the face of a sheer 1,000mhigh
cliff. The trek up to the monastery from Paro is a beautiful 2 hour walk
through forests along paths lined with colourful Buddhist flags, and coming
around the final corner to get face-to-face with the monastery is an
unforgettable and breathtaking moment! The monastery is highly sacred to the Bhutanese, as they believe that the founder of Bhutanese Buddhism, Guru Rinpoche, flew here on the back of a tigress before meditating there for over 3 years, which gives the Taktshang its wonderful nickname! The monastery was founded here in 1692 CE.
Paro is also home to Bhutan's only international airport - the approach path to
land or depart from Paro Airport snakes through several mountainous valleys and is known as one of the most spectacular and challenging airports in the world, so much that only a handful of pilots are currently certified to land at it!

text: Hola todos y todas. Hi everyone mi name is Seliena M. I am 15 year old cuabn with chinese looking eyes mdm skin mdm bwn hair skinny long legs 5'9. My dream was to become an ice skater for as long as i can remember. I think i shouldnt matter what height you are as long as you can skate. It shouldnt be about height it should be about what you as a skater bring to the table. Your height shouldn't determine your career but you as a person should. I think ice skating shoulnt only be open to short people alone but people who actually have talent. Some skater (short) and dont really show the versatility that is needed to be an ice skater. So in the end my dream died. I want to become a dancer, actress, or a model but I really wanted to be an ice skater. "Skating was my life" anyone agree with me about what im saying????????

Mussels Provide Clearer Picture of Drought Impact
It's a way specific species are studied and tracked that gives a current picture of the state of our environment and what may be at risk.
The longest running contaminant monitoring program in the United States is a daily part of Mike McKay's environmental biology class at TSTC.
McKay has been a "mussel watch" volunteer for thirteen years, tracking the species at Hubbard Creek Lake.
As strange as it sounds, it's a tried-and-true way for researchers to assess water quality.
"Indicator species, especially freshwater mussels, since they're a siphon feeder, if there is pollution, salt, lack of water, any kind of thing that throws off the balance of the lake, the mussels will die," McKay explained.
Essentially, the indicator species provide a snapshot view of water quality -- and in the case of Lake Hubbard and many other Texas lakes, they also give a clearer picture of how devastating the drought has been, with rising salinity levels and the decline of mussels.
For students in McKay's class, mussels aren't the only species to "watch" out for -- they also track the threatened box turtles and the steady decline of the Texas horned lizard.
"Being a kid, you would walk outside and see two or three [horned lizards] and now, you hardly ever see one," said Joe Bryan, a student in McKay's class.
The information the students collect is gathered and sent off to Texas Parks and Wildlife researchers.
"We're the eyes for Texas Parks and Wildlife because they're not able to come and look everywhere, at all times," said another student, Nicholas Morris.
So whether it's through counting clams or tallying turtles, the project is a way to bridge the gap between the classroom and the real-life research the students will do for the rest of their lives.
The students were featured in Texas Nature Tracker magazine for their work.

On Worship's Boundaries
Just yesterday, Reformed Worship put up a post of mine on worship's boundaries. Next year is the 500th anniversary of the Protestant Reformation, and I've been thinking a lot about the pastors, thinkers, and theologians who ministered in the wake of Luther's posting of the 95 theses.
One real "aha" moment of my reading of Luther for doctoral work came in the idea that Luther's articulation of simul iustus et peccator (simultaneously justified and sinful) isn't merely a statement about the human condition, but a statement about eschatology. In other words, it's a statement about the cosmic reality in which we find ourselves. We find ourselves in an overlapping of ages, a "simul" of worlds--the Old World, which is passing away; and the New World, which is breaking in by the power of the Spirit through Christ.
A lot of our errors in worship--a lot of our over extended emphases--can be categorized as attempting to break through the boundaries set by either reverting back into purely "Old World" thinking (forgetting that Christ has come and inaugurated a Kingdom) or pressing too victoriously into "New World" realities (forgetting that the Old World, while passing away, is still here).
Luther's lesser known work, Only the Decalogue is Eternal, is mind-blowing. He is so vivid, so clear, in how he articulates the human experience of this overlapping of worlds.
So...go checkout my post, "Luther and the Eschatological Boundaries of Worship," over at Reformed Worship. Happy Advent.

Nicole Radzievich says the bids are in, and they are in fact considerably cheaper than what most Bethlehem residents pay now:
While city officials are still reviewing the five bids, the city's preliminary calculations show the annual bill per household could range from $137 to $209, depending on who the lowest qualified bidder turns out to be.
City officials estimate the average bill now is $340.
The numbers don't include recycling fees, which are now at $60. City officials are still evaluating the recycling portion of the bids. The city could also add an administrative fee to the hauling proposal.
"It's very clear from the numbers that a considerable savings could be passed on to the residents of the city of Bethlehem and they could get better service than they are getting now," Mayor John Callahan said. "The numbers don't lie."
But of course Eric Evans is still trying to weasel out of a vote, even though he now knows this plan is cheaper and better. He won't even commit to a committee hearing on the plan:
"If the administration wants to talk about it, I'll listen, but I don't want to just rehash what's already been said," Evans said.
Evans said he's not sure how the bid numbers would factor into deciding whether to change from the current private system, where residents can choose their own hauler, to one city-contracted hauler. Calling it "economics," he said large companies can bid low, eliminate competition and hike their prices […]
Evans said the administration has asked for a committee meeting of the entire council to discuss the matter, but said he doubts there is consensus to convene one. He said he would welcome the chance for a public discussion on other trash-related issues such as zoned hauling.
LOL Eric what else is left to factor into your decision? Is it cheaper? Check. Is the service more comprehensive? Unless the deal Bethlehem gets is for some reason way worse than the one every other municipality gets, then you can check that off too. Does it have popular support? Check. There's nothing else to debate.
Also, the idea that you're going to sign a contract and then the company is going to turn around and raise prices above what you agreed to is paranoid nonsense. It proves Evans doesn't have the analytical chops to make these decisions.
Luckily if City Council doesn't pass this thing this Spring, people can vote Evans out in the May primary. The last vote on this narrowly lost, 4-3. You only need to elect one or two more supporters to get it over the line, and there are at least two open seats on the ballot for City Council.

Kids Korner: The Golden Goalie
"I made it, I made it!" Roy Mullen shouted to his parents. One week ago, he had tried out for the District 4 Seawolves state hockey team.
"Wonderful son," his mother replied.
"Can I go tell Sven?" Roy asked.
"O.K." his Mom said.
Sven Baginski, Roy's best friend, had moved to New York from the Czech Republic two years ago. He and Roy had been best friends ever since. Sven had gotten his letter that he made the team two days ago.
Roy rang the bell. Sven's older brother, Ivo, answered the door. He had earphones in his ears.
"I suppose you want Sven?" he asked.
"Yes!" Roy said anxiously.
Sven came to the door. Roy showed him the letter and had an excited look on his face.
"You made it!" Sven said.
"Yeah! Roy replied.
"Awesome, come in."
Roy walked into Sven's home which was a common suburban American home. There was hockey memorabilia all over the place.
"Hey … want to play 2K-eleven?" Sven asked.
They went to Sven's room where he turned on the Wii. They started to play Hockey 2K-eleven, the New York Rangers versus the Czech Republic team.
The next day the boys were playing in the alley between Bob's Furniture Store and Ry's Pizza place. Every day after school, the boys did their homework at Roy's house, they roller skated to the alley to play hockey. Usually they went for pizza afterward.
But this wasn't a usual day. Roy plays goalie and Sven shot the hockey puck at him. Just as Sven was about to take his next shot, a rocket puck whizzed by him and into the net behind Roy. He looked where it came from, and it was John Menda. He was a bully but an excellent hockey player.
"Hey Seatwirps, I heard you losers made the team," John said with a smirk on his face.
"We did and Roy here could stop you with his hands tied behind his back," Sven said, frustrated.
"Bet you couldn't get past regions," John said.
"Bet we could win state championships," Roy said abruptly.
"Huh?" Sven and John said at the same time.
"Yah," Roy said.
And without a word John went away and Sven and Roy went in for pizza.
Three weeks later, the Seawolves were competing in the regions final versus the District 7 Bumblebees. Roy's second start in goal. It was 2-2 in the third period, Roy glanced at the clock, 2:30 remaining. A puck flew at him, he stopped it with ease.
He looked again, 1:20 remaining. The next time he looked it was silently ticking 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3 . . . Then suddenly a red light went on, his team scored, they were going to the state playoffs.
"Cheers, to the best hockey players in the world," family members yelled.
The Baginskis and the Mullens were having dinner to celebrate the Seawolves making the state championships. Just as they were about to start the main course, the phone rang, Roy answered it.
"Hey coach," Roy said.
"Hello Roy, I got good and bad news," his coach answered.
"The bad news first," Roy said
"OK, the starter Jo Puqarelli is injured, but the good news is you're starting tomorrow, see ya!" his coach said hanging up the phone.
Roy walked in and told his family the news; they were surprised but not as much as he was.
"And the land of the free, and the home of the brave," they sang before the game. The District One Hypers versus the District Four Seawolves, state championships in the first period the Hypers exploded with four goals. In the locker room, Roy heard assorted whispers.
"C'mon Roy" or "It's Mullen's fault we're in this mess."
Roy tried to zone them out but it was hard. He just couldn't lose the state championships for his team. The second period started but Roy stood his ground and didn't let anyone score, and luckily the Seawolves scored one.
Third period, two minutes in and the Seawolves scored. 4-2 was the score but still down by two. A two on one came up on Roy, he leaped to the side and made the save. He looked at the clock, nine minutes left, four more minutes passed. Then with five minutes left, Billy Riker scored and they were only down by one. But time kept ticking. At the thirty second mark Aiden Jaclare took a slapshot from the blue line and scored. Time ran out and the teams went to overtime. Boom!
The puck hit the ice to start overtime. Four minutes passed and Aiden took a shot but it hit John Menda's leg and he skated on to a breakaway. Roy had to save it or he was done for.
This part of the story is from the announcer's point of view . . .
"Menda on a breakaway … he fakes to the side, Mullen follows him … Menda goes the other way and shoots ... and it hits off Mullen's skate. Oh, what a save … he passes it to Bob Fleeve and he passes it down the ice to Baginski… Baginski one defender to beat he shoots HE SCORES! And the Seawolves are state champions and they crowd the crease they've won it!"
It was amazing, they won the state championships. The Governor came out with the trophy and handed it to Roy! He skated around with it and passed it to Sven. They exchanged smiles and he knew life was going to be a lot different from now on.

text: Fellas, I live in SC and am thinking about buying a machine for brush management such as an ASV. However, my biggest concern is determining my market. At the moment, it seems that commercial lot, residential lot, maybe some food plot and pine management work would be my market. The problem is how do I make sure there is enough "demand" for the machine before I invest upwards of $70K? I'm at the point where I can retire at a relatively young age, however I hate to give up a pretty good job for an unknown. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and experiences!

Take a look at this:
That will print 'x is 5.00000000 and y is 2.7500000000000' or somesuch.Code:
int main() {
double x, y;
x = 5;
y = 2.75;
printf("x is %f and y is %f\n", x, y);
I wanted to get rid of the useless zeroes, so somebody suggested using %g instead. Problem is, that rounds to the nearest ten thousanth (four decimal places), while %f works to six (nearest millionth).
Any ideas? If possible, I'd like to retain the functionality of %g but have six significant decimal places.

SYGMA's story began in January 1984 when senior officers of Sysco Corporation started
discussions for forming a new distribution company. Their vision was to establish
an independent subsidiary of Sysco Corporation that would specialize in service
to restaurant chains.
Sysco's corporate structure ensures that the entrepreneurial spirit and drive is
as strong in the parent company as in each of its subsidiary companies. That spirit
– a combination of personal integrity, drive, creativity, and determination to benefit
our partners – is our guiding philosophy and the key to our past success and continued
SYGMA's start-up team established values, strategies, systems, procedures, and an
infrastructure before the first case of product was shipped in May of 1985 from
SYGMA's first distribution center in Oklahoma. In 1988, The SYGMA Network welcomed
the addition of Sugar Foods and Food Service Specialists through Sysco's acquisition
of CFS.
Over 30 years ago and millions of deliveries later, SYGMA is one of the largest
foodservice distributors in the United States. Since the beginning, SYGMA has built
a solid foundation on its entrepreneurial spirit and drive and focused its business
on developing relationships with its restaurant partners to help them enhance the
value of their brand.

15.7 Summary and Conclusions
DGVMs exploit the power of modern computers and computational methods to yield a predictive description of land ecosystem processes that takes account of knowledge previously developed through long histories of separate disciplinary approaches to the study of the biosphere. The degree of interaction between the different scientific approaches still falls far short of optimal; thus, DGVM developers have a responsibility to be aware of progress in several disciplines in order to ensure that their models remain state-of-the-art. We have presented a series of case studies of the evaluation of DGVMs that demonstrate the predictive capability that current models have achieved. Nevertheless, there are plenty of unresolved issues — differences among models that are not well understood, important processes that are omitted or treated simplistically by some or all models, and sets of observations that are not satisfactorily reproduced by current models. More comprehensive "benchmarking" of DGVMs against multiple data sets is required and would be most effectively carried out through an international consortium, so as to avoid duplicating the large amount of work involved in selecting and processing data sets and model experiments. We have also presented a series of case studies that illustrate the power of DGVMs, even with their known limitations, in explaining a remarkable variety of Earth System phenomena and in addressing contemporary issues related to climate and land-use change. These case studies encourage us to believe that the continued development of DGVMs is a worthwhile enterprise. Finally, new directions in Earth System Science point to a range of aspects in which DGVMs could be improved so as to take account of recently acquired knowledge, such as experimental work on whole-ecosystem responses to environmental modification and new understanding of the functional basis of plant traits; complemented by an effort to represent semi-natural and agricultural ecosystems and the impacts of different management practices on these ecosystems; and extended to include processes such as trace-gas emissions, which are important in order to understand the functional role of the terrestrial biosphere in the Earth System. Together, these potential developments add up to an ambitious research program, requiring the economies of scale that only an international collaborative effort can provide.

Howard: Olympic election option open
Page Tools
Prime Minister John Howard is keeping open the option of an Olympic election campaign despite ALP taunts he would be a creep and a killjoy if he called the election this weekend.
However, the prime minister reminded reporters he has another three months until the third anniversary of the November 10, 2001 election - a hint that the election could still be some time away.
Mr Howard has passed up the chance to call a double-dissolution election to ram through the full Telstra sale after today's final deadline passed with no visit to the governor-general.
But he still has until next Monday to call a poll for September 18 and ensure the first two weeks of the election run across the Athens Olympics.
Speculation for September 18 intensified today as the government announced parliament would sit longer hours this week, and possibly on Friday to clear legislation for the United States free trade deal and to ban gay marriages.
Mr Howard said he did not want to speculate on dates, but then refused to guarantee the election would not clash with the Olympics.
"Can I observe two things - I have never encouraged speculation about a particular date and the third anniversary of the government's re-election is the 10th of November 2004," he told reporters.
"I'm just making the observation that it's others who get excited about particular dates.
"Like every other prime minister in a similar position when I've made up my mind when the election ought to be held, I'll seek a dissolution from the governor-general."
Opposition Leader Mark Latham said Mr Howard would be considered cynical if he called the election to clash with the Olympics.
"If he called the election through the Olympic period he'd be trying to use the two-week coverage of the Olympics to smother the many failings of his government," Mr Latham told reporters.
"That would be a cynical thing for a political leader to do but we know that's his form in the past and we wouldn't be surprised if he did it again in the future."
Opposition defence spokesman Kim Beazley said it would be against the spirit of the Olympics for Mr Howard to call an election this weekend.
"The great historical tradition of the Olympics is that all warfare stops when the Olympics is held," Mr Beazley told reporters.
"And I think that applies for political warfare as well as military warfare."
Opposition MP Con Sciacca went further. "What a creep if he was to call it an election during the time that we were all going to be watching television and ... we're sort of saying to our stars, `let's get going, let's win medals,'" Mr Sciacca told reporters.
"If he did that he'd be the biggest killjoy this country's ever had."
Treasurer Peter Costello said the Olympics did not need to be an election hurdle.
"The Olympics, I think, goes for two weeks and a federal election campaign goes for five weeks so there is plenty of time to do both Olympics and federal elections," he said.
"Don't take that as a hint of anything, because I don't know when an election is going to be called."

UK Launches Green Infrastructure Partnership
"While the green infrastructure partnership, launched on Tuesday morning, promises no new cash, it brings cross-government support and the backing of influential groups such as the Town and Country Planning Association and the Landscape Institute, as well as a series of developers and housing groups."
"Despite the lack of new government investment the project is 'more than an aspiration', insisted the environment minister Richard Benyon, who formally launched the scheme.
'It can sound a bit high blown, or airy fairy, but the point is that it does make a difference in many ways. This is now starting to be properly understood and appreciated in financial terms. Research shows the health benefits of people being connected to nature.'"

John 5, 'Welcome To Violence' Music Video Released
Rob Zombie and former Marilyn Manson guitarist John 5 has released the video for his latest single, 'Welcome To Violence.'
'Welcome To Violence' is the second single from John 5's upcoming sixth solo album, 'God Told Me To,' which still remains without an official launch date, but is expected to be released before the end of the year.
In an interview with Kerrang!, John 5 said that the album is his most adventurous yet. "I have an album called 'God Told Me To' [coming out] and it's half heavy and it's half acoustic, which I've never done before… I'm really excited about this record 'cause of the acoustic stuff, 'cause I've never done that before. And it's gonna be awesome. I'm so excited for this to come out. I think I'm gonna put a [making-of] DVD out with it. People always like to see how I do things and stuff."
In the same interview the shredder also revealed that he would be putting his own spin on one of the 'King of Pops' most popular songs. "I'm doing a cover of Michael Jackson's 'Beat It,' an instrumental version of it. And it's gonna be amazing."
