These seeds are awesome, savvy?
Sometimes you eat a new superfood because you think it has some property that will make you healthier, sometimes you eat a new superfood because it's the latest fad and you want to keep up with the times, but sometimes you just want eat a new superfood because it's so damn yummy! This was my experience with a random bag of Savi Seed Sacha Inchi seeds that Andrew brought home a couple nights ago.
Two words for you: NEW ADDICTION.
I think I could seriously sit down to a bin of these and spend the rest of my life quite content. Now, I don't usually get non-raw food cravings that seriously, but I don't know what it is in the air but I've been craving childhood comfort foods so bad recently (that being real Chinese food, not the fake take-out crap) or more generally, anything that people around here would call "ethnic" food (Indian or Middle Eastern food have been the two things constantly on my mind recently). On the Chinese food note though, I've always had a penchant for these:
I can't even begin to describe why these are awesome. They have the crunchy exterior of M&Ms but without the chocolate coating. They're salty, sweet and spicy all at the same time, and definitely baked. They're definitely all about the multi-layered crunch factor though, and the minute I tasted the Sacha Inchi seeds, that textural amazingness all came back to me, and they so deeply satisfied my childhood/ethnic food cravings the raw way!
So here is my shameless plug for Sacha Inchi:
Despite tasting and looking just like nuts (and specifically a peanut), they aren't! Also known as Inca Peanuts, they're native to the Amazon rainforest and have also been cultivated for centuries in Peru. They are extracted from the star-shaped pods of a vine plant, which a picked, dried, and pressed.
The claim is that they have more Omega-3, 6, and 9s then both vegan and non-vegan sources (whether salmon, flaxseeds, or hemp), so lowers your "bad" cholesterol (HDL) and keeps your blood healthy by reducing your triglycerides and regulating blood sugar levels. Because of the healthy fats, they also regulate nerve transmission and communication, reducing the risk of depression, and arthritis by reducing inflammation. Through their high anti-oxidant properties, they also regulated eye pressure (so no glaucoma), proper kidney function (so no ulcers), blood transmission to tissue (so no skin conditions). They're also about 25-30% digestible protein!
The Savi Seed Sachia Inchi come in three flavours: Natural, Chocolate, and Caramalized. I've tasted the first two and can say that I far prefer them au naturel. They're taste reminds me so much of those Chinese peanut snacks that I wouldn't want to cover it up with anything! However, being Canadian, Andrew obviously prefers them chocolate covered... He seems to claim that Canadians like to chocolate cover everything.
Anyway, I know some people say that superfoods are a luxury, that they can tend to be pretty pricey for the size of the bag you're getting, but people also tend to forget that you only need a couple of these a day to reap the benefits. Also, if these babies will keep you healthy, what's the cost of that compare to popping pills? And in this case, honestly, there is no cost to taste. They're that good. Try 'em out, if only for the novelty of saying you've had a new food!

Anger Management Tip #1: Bake
When I was in high school, if I ever asked a friend if I could come over to their place for an impromptu baking session, their first question would always be "What's wrong? Are you okay?" When I shared a place with housemates and they came home to the wonderful aroma of carrot cake or banana bread, someone would always asked "Okay, who pissed off Chantal?" In both those instances, 95% of the time they were right... I confess, I'm an emotional baker.
Baking was and still is a primary form of stress relief to me. Some believe it's because it's aromatherapeutic, the smell of baked goods filling your space with scents of better, more carefree times. Others might simply see it as keeping your mind busy, away from the thoughts that are actually out there to bother you. But above all, there is something about going through the rhythms of baking, the familiar motions of feeling those three overripe bananas sink into a mattress of melted butter and sifted flour that just make the world make sense for 5 minutes. During those moments, I feel like I have control over something, anything. In those brief instances I can forget reality and focus on a science that goes so far beyond me and my problems.
I'm grateful that I have such a simple way of dealing with my emotions during my alone time. It's much better than doing something damaging or unhealthy. Now that I've gone raw vegan, the satisfaction is not the quite the same, but it definitely still helps. Instead of baking, I've turned to similar processes, as long as I'm keeping busy in the kitchen, it helps. This might explain the raw banana pie in the fridge, the four extra pie shells for later use, and why I can smell the cinnamon from the triple batch of raw granola currently in the dehydrator... but at least everything feels somewhat brighter now.
I know I'm not the only person to think this, but baking has always been my primary method of coping with anger, sadness, frustration, stress, or some combination of those four emotions. I don't know when that habit started... it was probably when my babysitter Evelyn taught me to bake banana bread from scratch for the first time when I was about 13. Ever since that day, whenever I was pissed, whenever I'd gone through some tragic teenage heartbreak, or when I'd just had a bad day, I would turn to my favourite yellow mixing bowl and the white spatula that predated my birth for some kitchen relief.

I've never really needed "comfort foods" when I was upset, but I guess my emotions are still inextricably laced to the culinary world. While some people vent out their emotions by either eating too much or too little, I just bake. I've never been a girl who needed chocolate when I PMS, or tubs of ice cream when I'm depressed. While some choose to internalize their emotions by ingesting food, I've always externalized them by creating it instead. Of course all my friends or housemates would always be pretty psyched when I was pissed, because it always meant there would be tons of homemade yummies around for them to eat... And while many people say that you can taste the emotional state of food, I must have been doing something right because I've done some of my best baking when upset. Though I may have put some serious amounts of vitriol or tears in my cupcakes, I think their success was more about the deliberate and almost obsessive care I would put in making them to simply avoid thinking about anything else.

So rather than wanting to slam a door, hit the send button on that text message you know you shouldn't have written, or make that sob-stricken phone call, just put that apron on, and bake. With that, I give you the recipe that started it all (I've had it for so long that I don't even know if this is the original or some amended version of mine, knowing me, it's probably the latter):
Evelyn's Anger Management Banana Bread
1 3/4 C flour
1/2 C sugar
pinch of salt
1 tsp baking powder
2 tsp vanilla
1/2 C of butter or Earth Balance margarine, melted
2 eggs (or egg replacers)
3 bananas, ripe (or overripe)
1. Preheat the oven at 350.
2. Mix in the butter/margarine, bananas, vanilla, eggs/egg replacer, sugar, and salt.
3. Stir everything until smooth. (I've always used an electric blender)
4. Slowly fold in the flour.
5. Pour into oiled bread pan, and cooked for about 40-45 minutes or until you can poke it with a knife and it comes out clean.
6. Realize that everything feels so much better!

Cranberry Recipe Shoutout
When pumpkin-picking has passed, when the leaves have turned their vibrant colours and fallen to the ground, and as snow starts to blanket my city for three long months of bitter cold, what food better describes the passage from fall to winter up here in the great North than the cranberry? There's something about cranberries that just remind me of the passage from fall to winter. I don't know if it's just because American Thanksgiving seems to fall during that transition period, or if it's just something about the berry's vibrant red hue, which is both such a Yuletide colour and reminiscent of those bright red berry bushes you sometimes see when you're trekking or cross-country skiing through abandoned trails. Either way, they make me feel warm and fuzzy inside. As cranberry season comes to end, I'm assuming harvesters have long past flooded the last of their bogs before water turns to ice so I want to eat all the fresh cranberries I can get.
Cranberries are amazing for you, especially for us female types (check out an earlier post of mine extolling the awesomeness of cranberries). And aside from the benefits I already cited there, I also found out that cranberries are wonderful for the blood, and also act as a digestive aid for removing fat from the body! Yay, cranberries!
The first I wanted to do when I would pick some up next is try out a recipe I saw on Green Lemonade (an awesome blog on maintaining a healthy lifestyle regardless of your dietary choices) called the Holiday Cranberry Smoothie.
While the original recipe probably had a smoother texture by adding in cashews and sweetener and what not, I've been shying away from "less raw" foods like cashews and sweeteners. Instead, I decided to give the concept a go by making my own "not for the faint of heart version." I understand that cranberries are super tart, but I'm not that willing to douse them in sugar to make them more palatable. I love them just the way they are!
My version of the cranberry smoothie essentially only blending the 1 C of fresh cranberries and 1 1/2 C of almond milk. Earlier, I made my almond milk from 1/4 C soaked raw almonds + 1 date + 1 stick of vanilla and water, blended in the Vitamix and then strained through a nutmilk bag (p.s. the nut pulp makes a great textural addition to raw cookies).
The finished product was pretty sour, but the almond milk gave it a wonderful smoothness. If I were to suggest this to you (unless your a huge unadulterated fresh cranberry fan like me), I'd suggest adding in an extra date or two, or maybe a teaspoon of your favourite liquid sweetener or something to the finish product. Nevertheless, I thoroughly enjoyed my version. Something about it just made me want to bundle up for the winter and hibernate. Hope the rest of you aren't as cold as I am! Happy wintering!

Just... Want... Kitchen... Time...
So, if you want to know what has happened to me since those days of yore of daily blogging, I think this explains it quite well:
I call it... the PhD
This means I've been really antsy because that means more time
vegetating studiously writing in front of the computer and less time being creative in the kitchen. On the upside, another hoop jam (as in a hooping party not, a fruit preserve) saved my life this evening. Seriously, best thing ever, try it! Getting into my dance trance while still being focused enough to spin a hoop is the most wonderful feeling. It's so curative, especially because I've been in such a dance rut recently...
Anyway, my kitchen time has been pretty productive. I've made a beautiful love child between Meredith's and my "grawnola" recipes, which has just about spawned the best thing ever:
You know I don't take measurements, but the general idea was replacing Meredith's use of raw pepitas and sunflower seeds with sprouted buckwheat + pepitas. I kept everything else pretty much equal, except I used less raisins and added in some fresh cranberries and spirulina. I did use raw honey instead of maple syrup.
I also attempted a new spinach, tomato, and sundried-tomaro raw bread. I used triticale that we bought from our local organic grain farmer, and while it turned out really pretty, I'm not a huge fan of triticale. Andrew kind of bought it for the novelty, and while he's a fan of rye breads, I find them a little too sour tasting (triticale is a cross between wheat and rye):
Another novelty was my own take on raw calzones. I used Alissa Cohen's crust recipe, but then made a "everything but the kitchen sink" attempt at a filling: marinated veggies and mushroom, tomato sauce, and spinach-basil sauce. They were really good, but I might go easier on the sodium next time (and maybe actually record what I did...)
Ooo, and the amazing Christmas goodies all over Angela's blog made me want to make her Overnight Oats again, so I made a super pumpkin version one morning:
I'm sure I've done plenty of original stuff this week, but it's off to bed... Just one more week and this is all done! Highlight of my life though??? I'm going to see Nutcracker Ballet tomorrow! It's by far my favourite thing about the Christmas season, and also, I kind of bawl every time I hear the final Pas de Deux. Seriously one of the most beautiful pieces of music I've ever heard, and I get to feed my little dreams of wanting to be a ballerina... Goodnight!
(P.S. For all of you who I have yet to email because of comments and messages and such, I promise I'll get back to you by the end of next week! I've received what you've sent me, I've just been swamped with final papers and such! Thanks for understanding!)

It is a very big deal that Adam Posen – plus, Kate Barker, it emerged later – thought the Bank of England was on dodgy ground in appearing to offer support to the coalition government's budget deficit-reduction programme soon after the May election. Posen's phrase – "excessively political" – is a strong one to throw at a central bank whose credibility and independence go hand-in-hand. No wonder governor Mervyn King sounded excessively annoyed when pressed on the subject this month.
Did King and the Bank overstep the mark? Posen did not say which passage of the May minutes of the MPC meeting he regarded as over-the-top, but we can guess the key sentence was this: "A more detailed and demanding path for fiscal consolidation than set out in the March 2010 budget ... might therefore be needed in order to avoid unnecessary increases in the cost of issuing public debt."
That statement falls a long way short of being a hearty endorsement of George Osborne's plans. It may simply be saying that bond markets are fickle. In the minutes, it was offered as one reason, among many others, why prospects for activity and inflation were uncertain. In that context, it seems harmless enough. King looks not guilty as charged.
Even so, Posen makes a fair point when he argues that, in the wider context of the aftermath of an election that had produced a hung parliament, the Bank could have chosen its words more carefully. He says alternative versions were discussed. It would have been wise to choose one. Risking a public row with two external members of the MPC is not smart when it wasn't necessary.

June: I'm so hungry!Mature
I loved lunch time, it was the only time in school all five of us were together, me, Lydia, David, Ali and Bryan. It was nice sitting together as a group, we had fun.
Eveline was hanging around to lunch hall with her tray, I waved her over.
'Do you want to sit with us? You were looking a bit lost.'
'That would be lovely thanks.' She squeezed in next to me.
'OK guys this is Evelyn, she's new.' I could see Bryan's eyes light up so I kicked him under the table.
'Is there a problem Bryan?' I looked pointedly at him so he got the message.
'No everything's fine.' He knew better than to mess with me, I might look small but I'd been taking self defence classes for years so I knew how to fight.
I think Eveline was starting to settle in to our friendship group when a girl I recognised as Amethyst came up and began talking to her.
'I need to talk to you NOW!'
'Hey don't be so harsh, she can talk to whoever she wants.' Eveline obviously brought out my protective side as I would never have picked a fight with Amethyst before, but maybe that was because I had nothing against her before.
The tension rose until Eveline stood between us and said, 'I'll talk to Amethyst, I should be heading for my next lesson anyway.' She picked up her tray and started to leave. 'It was nice having lunch with you. We should do it again sometime. I'll see you soon.'
And she was gone.

The managed services model brings solution providers recurring revenue, deeper client engagement, and greater business stability. But the transition requires careful planning and execution to avoid pitfalls such as underpricing services, picking the wrong technology, or failing to properly communicate the change to customers. In this roadmap, we outline 10 best practices for resellers to follow when transitioning to managed services—while keeping data protected throughout the process.
Recently, the Lloyd Group was looking to move its services to the cloud. The MSP was evaluating various cloud-based tools and learned about cybersecurity provider Webroot, recalls Bill Goldin, director of technology at the New York metropolitan-area company. What initially attracted Lloyd to Webroot was the lightweight nature of the vendor's antimalware solution.
2015 was yet another record year for cybercrime, during which more malware, malicious IPs, websites, and mobile apps were discovered than in any previous year. It comes as no surprise that the cybercrime ecosystem continues to thrive, given new innovations and little in the way of risk for those who choose to participate. The continued onslaught of hacks, breaches, and social engineering scams targeting individuals, businesses, and government agencies alike has caused many in the security field to ask if it's truly possible to defend against a persistent attacker.
IT solutions providers interested in adopting managed services should not fall prey to common myths about the transition.
Businesses with multiple locations, call centers, complex call requirements, and extensive feature customizations often require a more sophisticated and expensive business communications system. But what about the average, single-location small business with less than 10 employees and relatively simple call requirements? They also deserve the same access to advanced unified communications (UC) features, with the versatility and affordability of a leading-edge VoIP business solution.
A managed services provider (MSP) works with a medical billing company to upgrade from servers to a private cloud and virtualization.
eFolder has found that, despite the clear demarcation between the needs of "casual" users and working professionals, especially in security and collaboration, many businesspeople still select consumer-grade file sync services because they don't understand the key differences between consumer-grade and business-grade file sync solutions.
Zebra Technologies is introducing the industry's first complete, ruggedized enterprise-grade hardware and software Direct Data Exchange (DEX) solution that connects Direct Store Delivery (DSD) drivers to stores without a rugged DEX cable. With the introduction of Zebra's new DX30 DEX Bluetooth-enabled wireless key fob – no bigger than a typical automobile key – Zebra has removed physical cables and eliminated common failure points at the wall jack or device.
Barilla Group, the makers of Barilla brand pastas and sauces, wanted to provide consumers with the ability to trace the chain of production — from where food for ingredients is grown to the product on the store shelf.
Westmoreland Coal Company is the 4th largest coal mining operation in the world; 6th largest coal producer in North America and the oldest independent coal company in the United states. When Westmoreland Coal expanded their operations by purchasing the Kemmerer mine in Wyoming, they bought the oldest open pit mine in the U.s. — a large mine that is 9.5 miles long and 2 miles wide.

Mut and Merloni talk about Bobby Valentine's comments from the Big Show when he said that he feels like his coaches undermined him.
Transcript - Not for consumer use. Robot overlords only. Will not be accurate.
A -- kind of see what's gonna come the next couple of hours if not day or so. Right out of the gate with Bobby Valentine of the big show yesterday try to joke with them about his bike accident you wanna -- part of that need okay Bobby knows it's going on. The last followed the boys bad mood that last night saw the tweet -- McPherson. Providence journal Bobby be brought the lineup card out -- never does dappled are somebody -- -- he doesn't but after the game last night TV anymore evidence. Emotional it's emotional. But almost colleague red -- Bobby Valentine. Take a look around Yankee Stadium with two outs there in the night in and staring at the field. Once that final out a fourteen to lost was there he knows we all know now to count down not if but when. Bobby Valentine no longer your -- He's a chance Tim Bogart in -- to bring it up he looks at -- valentines is now when you do. And good member of its Debian tobacco yellow. Or what I'm about to do -- go out there you go out there and do it now I think. And asking questions yesterday about you know they told you do you think you should be back you know I'm not sure what -- expect the answer to be. Com. Rodney pose the question a Bobby V what do you think you should be back who do you think you deserve to be back. Amazing got that point where these guys so broken there on radio he would say. No I don't think they should bring you back or no I don't think I can do this job or no it can't be successful next year. I would expect that out of him. I just think it's it's been silence. You know ever since again that -- -- it's up there in the West Coast trip -- but Tom Warner saying I don't wanna talk I don't wanna get into -- let me tell a great job and charities don't just bench Eric is that like I said before yesterday told the media. He's our managed to the end of the year when the season's over we'll evaluate it. That nobody wants to go there it's obvious. That John payment Austin yesterday breaks story. -- breaking news nobody had -- -- -- that Bobby Valentine will indeed be fired breaking news that the time it's not about if it's more ball went yeah does it happen this afternoon does that happen tomorrow in us exactly breaking news. Your group known after -- lot of people thought that since African Maggie for God's -- but the yeah but was adjusting yesterday actually hearing. -- admit that. On the big show you know when they start talking about is no talk about the loyalty you know the ownership have your back bobbled the players have -- back Bobby and it got -- What -- coaching staff that those guys have tobacco. Chief staff and the people around you had been loyalty during the course of the season.

Which coach's body just what you want those coaches out and we didn't wanna get into it. Well love to hear letter Michael came for with yet which coach but -- you are they expected that answer in that spot. It was something that if you watch this team all year you knew there was some sort of relationship you you've talked about it for five months. I Monty talked about the issues in communication. With this staff just up the use of the word undermined agreeing with that that's a surprise me because undermined. It's like underhanded behind my back trying to do things to effect my job affect my team -- my reputation with the Boston Red Sox. When he agreed that undermine was the word. To me it took it to a different level than hate these guys don't get along. And that surprised me a little bit not a lot because that they showed a thousand shots -- Bobby Valentine on the bench and -- this year yet hidden camera number one shot or next to coach talk. You know coach communicating with a coach it didn't surprise me. I surprised me actually here scenery -- that's about it everybody knew was going on updating get along have. Ma Alex appear Odom just a recap on the year at the immediate firing of of Terry Francona they're going through. The timeline yet the timeline of of this season and involving Bobby Valentine you know maybe some of the mistakes of some things that get out -- publicly. And the want this house look at an economy was December 7 or use officially introduced December 1. Yet the winter meetings. You Bobby Valentine at the winter meetings -- and the media. And he tells a story about when he first started up as a manager and how Tom Landry walked in his office -- Kardashian OSHA and the com. Talks but -- a half two hours. Any city you know he then reached always left left left the the meetings is reached -- picked up the set looked over means that Bobby. The only bit of advice and gonna give you is make sure your coach's speak your language. That's -- message from Tom Landry Bobby went on that say and I think again everybody who just involved. Interviewed in that interview room meeting all of -- coaches. Understand at the staff has to be able to see your message in stereo. They have to be part of your baseball world. That's the problem. These guys work part of his baseball world. They were him he would they weren't his voice they -- speaking in stereo. Gary tuck the minute about a ballot that was hard -- at the leaf and let him leave him Bogart. What -- be -- bench coach because you watch that next step to being manager big time now it's ignore this -- opportunity and here in the year I'd love to be decked out. They magnate is a great hitting coach -- by hitting coach the game. Any work with a lot of the team with the you know what they're good hitters here -- I don't want -- going we're either. The -- and speak his language they weren't on the same page. And and from the beginning there was friction. You know and I don't know where you stand on as far as coaches. With a stabbing themselves -- -- -- is stabbing Bobby in the back this you know what what is that you'll get that here after the break let's let's get in. To that because at the question is gonna become you know what does Bobby talking about and what do you blame for that as a Red Sox fan is someone who -- this team all year. What are you wanna put the blame mom for Bobby's -- yesterday about this coaching staff we'll get your phone calls and -- reaction we'll give your thoughts ninety seconds. This is one of the most gutless things I've ever seen anybody do it he's ruined the careers of some his coaches maybe all of them because. All of them were thrown under that blanket listen if -- manager and -- -- got a problem when your coach you sit down in the opposite you have an out in either the coach goes or you fix it. If you can't do that as a manager if you can't. Tell your coaching staff this is the line this is how we do things and this is what we do here if you can't get a quick -- What's -- what's the price of your integrity because he just called every. -- -- when the best coaches I replace for what they hitter but I he was a phenomenal Alex Ochoa is a phenomenally young coach every one of these guys. Is now going to carry this with of their disloyal they talk behind their managers back all the things you. Are you played with teammates who didn't like you play a team that you didn't get along with you never did this to your team in the median -- how bad they were ever idle idle. There's no I don't comprehend any of us. Shocking development issue. All have opinions have. Everybody got an opinion that as -- I know how you. I think Bobby -- is handled things here throughout the year Boston. Well I -- it's been a rough -- all the way around for everybody you know when you lose every game I'm number one I want want to lost a long time ago I thought I was prepared. You don't know until you live through it you don't need to go looking. Four. Do things will -- you there's nothing small there're there are so passionate and they care so much about their team to whatever crops up. Is important. Curt Schilling last night that was Terry Francona just earlier this morning. Responding to the Bobby V comments yesterday on the big show it's not -- ID 370 you know WE -- -- thing about. -- there to talk about the comments of Bobby be throwing these coaches under the buster. Nicholas Wright three Terry Francona interview now who held to an interview. That we wanna -- -- as a cabinet Gundy is that the ESPN anchor today and it was hammered Darnell I think it was Kevin again and eradicate host Bobby handled this and then he gets into the pressures of coaching and managing in Boston oppression of managing. In Philly I'm just Terry Francona -- yen. Talk about the pressures of dealing with Boston media -- the answer what's it like managing in Philly and Boston. A guy that just through your coaches guys that your holdovers. Guys that you'll win it for years in Boston. Coaches under the bus -- -- come out. -- asked him about that. You know Dave Mac and and you know temple guard you know Gary tuck. The did you ever see these guys doing that was her -- the cynical okay we go deals on now we got chills opinion we knew that was comment. He goes on now let's see what he's got to say that he backed him Bogut back up the back never even asked. Instead it's what's it like putting me in -- pressure Boston lights he's been asked that I don't take you to every single week it's enough of five odds. That situation known you -- more TV experience and -- view but a lot of cases you know to go over some of the questions at a time and can't someone maybe a panelist guests say. I'm uncomfortable going in that area now and not wanna answer it get Terry Francona he's just like they -- Tito but you got to do a job you're here. Somebody just called -- the coaches that you aren't your friends. I need your opinion on. I need to know of -- -- Garza got a steps I mean back. As you seem like that type of guy Francona is that like are you you real answers all -- because in about two weeks in managing just to give an answer realistic question. To say I was a perfect -- -- I want pitino's opinion on these coaches apparently. The -- knows very well except Bobby back and never got it would never rest instead it was what's it like coach and in Philly. What's it like managing in Boston under the bright lights on and that's been asked 78 times on baseball and nine sports note with with him. Because Kevin Gandhi in the showed react to what -- vitriol towards him -- terms of body saying undermine yesterday. Mean I told to I think means I think that means he was going to the players and maybe -- -- -- message I think there's a chance to go back to that meeting in New York. That every -- total wondered how that got out I wouldn't be surprised if a coach on that staff. -- was airing that out to. People including Jeff passed -- Yahoo! groups for I think to get wind. Of that -- a lot of Red Sox accountable to it like messages that you know. We're supposed to stay in that clubhouse didn't stand a -- out because some of the coaches. I think that the players and some of the coaches that -- Bobby Valentine. Snicker about Bobby Valentine when he was in the room and that's sort I feel good about what undermining means. And it terms of who I blame. -- I hate to make a cop out this -- and everybody. I blame the coaches for having an opinion of Valentine before he took the job. I blame Valentine for doing eight crap -- job at communicating with those coaches. I blame Valentine for putting the coaches and spot for the price -- the big -- by the players what the hell just happened. Decision -- just made how do you answer foreclosures and coach like I don't know why he got one of the pictures up eight times and that put a man Andrew Miller. I played the front office for hiring in December 1. And then sort of suggesting. He hire certain guys. It was an awful situation any if you play just dump bodies in the coaches I think you're wrong I don't blame goes to enjoy buddy ball. Hear you say that it's a cop out there with the blame but it's not because it's the right answer. Is it you know does not too much -- black and white. Here. I don't agree -- show when he says you know it's gonna you know. For these guys gonna bury these coaches will come up there's no question about it. And is no question at him -- -- Beagle for manager's job Dave -- hitting coach Gary -- people opening coach. You know -- be the same page I don't want to think -- go behind my back that happened in Boston. They'll come up but I don't think it really affect their careers. Because. I'm not so sure the feeling of Bobby Valentine across baseball is one where if they did this two week Terry Francona you know they did this to Joseph Torre. -- Tony La Russa. You know you go behind stabbed somebody like that in the back as a coach that carries weight that cyclists and there. This guys respected you doing that I'm not so sure of Bobby V. Carries a kind of -- as a manager anymore. Given this year. -- here all the time that these these stories get across baseball. It's not just the players that are hill players that are rolling as a guarantee its other managers and other players to hear these stories on a torture that's the case. What you write and say both sides to blame because. Only only the coaches that he is talking about. You know only they know the answer whether they gave this guy a fair shot in Republican Amir and -- -- -- was I -- with this guy. You know ornamental what he did. I just didn't like analysis -- appear in and steal of the players maybe more formation in the need. Maybe swayed their opinions about their own manager only oil just some things only those guys -- get that question -- From my side of it. Yeah I know I've not Trimble. No I'm I had Dave Magnus -- coach -- three the very good relationship with him. Gary tuck the -- my experiences here when he was in New York. And guys that I respect the amount of respect they give him and you know the you know the guy you know I trust opinions of guys that I trust and I respect. So when I see those guys that would it tells me is why did they give a shot I like to think that they did on again only those guys can answer -- in time. Go to questions came up you know with Bobby what are we doing here why -- we doing this while we -- -- that any time how much did Bobby create. You know the lack of respect. Three respect is earned. It has to be earned. -- -- -- was it was these guys Bobby all everybody felt bad for me because for six months my coach and stabbed in the back. Always there. A month. Spring training April. By the end of may everybody -- you know what I am done right now is that he's not listened to me he's not using me as a coach. Everything every opinion I have he could care less about he's insecure he -- I want his job right now. All of it and it just led to that. I know those three guys and -- personally. And I like to think that that's probably more distaste and those guys to sit casino watched -- Bobby from anyone can give you chancellor -- with my players -- are to believe known most. Also -- they'll find hard to believe that as the year went on they were not a source of a lot of what got over there you're one of the things you talked about from the beginning. With Bobby Valentine as much as we rag on you for that Comcast a promo. What do think you talked about as a Valentine's gonna create stories that the players have to respond to and you nailed that. I have -- -- have been stories that have leaked out -- -- that's good for Bobby to talk about that's not good for front office thought well that's aren't bearish as the teen. As I look back on it now I look at the coaching staff. I look at the guys that here throughout the year outlook in the Cloris part of that -- got -- right to be -- that vacation comment what do pissed me off to. But we're those guys airing things out to the media and behind the scenes buster jokes about how these are pretty easy stories to get. Almost the coaching staff part of those stories was the coaching staff in some way. Affecting our perception of that that's why do have a little bit of sympathy for Valentine I don't play it. What's -- particular OK with the Kevin Youkilis situation. I've had a conversation with him he's well aware that his playing time is gonna be what it is moving forward. Next day Kevin Youkilis is like for stuff that decision about. Just the right outcome you know you don't go to the media so I had a conversation Kevin Youkilis. If you did not that's just flat out lying in the player comes back now we got a story. And Bob because back -- says blot -- the coaches talked to him now. You look back get -- if you look at -- Alec Campbell seem a bench coach you know. Is it right to have you the bench coach go talk to give -- -- playing time. Did bode action of their conversation. Has -- that second in media session go out and while he just threw me under -- -- publicly because I thought he we had. As he hasn't hasn't managers as a coaching staff I thought we had a conversation Kevin Youkilis. Maybe coach didn't give the order. I as manager told -- to help me out here -- be out of the norm for bench coach you talked to a player about practices it is as a side issue I think the manager should -- but I can't question everybody's style and I don't know maybe. Bobby knows the moral school maybe felt that that's something that's happened past and that's fine you know. That what I can go with this. Big -- to me care nothing else in our buddies with a syndicate in Montreal Q what do Boston. Here's -- first base coach. It's a good example of people felt that. May be -- Giles was Dan's guy. Any -- who sent messages up there about what's going on with the -- well but that was one of the theorize that outlets jealous of the first I was a clear government and and I feel awful saying April when it started off that's what a lot of people felt that. It may be thinking from the Specter deserved maybe they felt like honest I think he knows everything about baseball. In the any inhabit. The beginning -- was eyes -- about him were wonder what his position really was that this team would escape route never played right. But in time. OK maybe that's what's happened with Bobby at the beginning but in time with -- joust. I can send -- -- career is over while playing with the Red Sox in the last few years. He became very close friend of mine to me -- he became one of the most respected coaches I have ever come across in my entire playing career. And he did that the hard work and he did that through knowledge he was a psychologist he would talk Cuba we go through tough times would he sees you as a player. He gained that respect. I mean he went from maybe nothing to the utmost respect. In a matter of a short period of time because you saw the work ethic he was in the cage early with everybody more than Jim Rice hitting coach -- He went to -- he talked the pitchers are tucked catchers a base runners outfielders infielders hitters it up and down. Like I said I can't respect another coach Moore and I go back as -- way that hoping started it felt the very beginning. And it's such a difference -- -- I feel about this guy right now my life it as a coach. Bobby to me he didn't have that respect early may be from the players in that respect early from coaching staff. The respect is earned you can change opinions you can go and make good decisions -- stand by them and demand respect. And get everybody involved people pick up on that too hard work whatever might be decision making -- -- think that ever happened. As I say you know that you could say always me now put a bad situation. Everybody has an opportunity to change their situation. Everybody feel Felix getting respect as an opportunity to respect the hard work. I just don't think that ever happened. Whether it's -- not what Bobby Valentine said yesterday is going to be continuation of what Jim -- talked about -- -- on Tuesday. OK I might lose my job but on the blame some of the people on the way first it was the training staff the training -- becoming theme here. And yesterday it was the coaches I'm sure someone's going to be players sure at some point it's gonna be GM. That's nobody's gonna react year and you got a little bit of that yesterday. And I don't just blame Bob before I got up with some of the blame the coaching staff and -- got to go back. I who runs the Red Sox Larry Lucchino. Who jumped into this. Hiring process and added Valentine and wanted to go back to an end to wanna go gale swam according everything I've heard and didn't hire until December 1 and that whole thing. Boy -- it set things back -- go back during this this timeline and out spears put together at WE yeah I'd -- out of your baseball fan it's a must read. It's at one point November. At a one point October late October. And Phillies bench coach -- the candidate brought in for his first interview October 31. And -- can quote I hope it doesn't go to December talking about the managerial search will stay. It would all -- December 1. During this process so the process itself. Led to a lot of this and a lot of people -- to blame. And you guys are lined up to react band and Jonathan are all your phone call 6177790. Wait fifty told free it is 888. 5250850. Verizon cell -- pound WE yikes a free call. You can Texas City time on the eighteenth tee text line at 85850. Will get your phone calls coming up it's not in -- 937.

Four for a Boy....
It all seemed to have gone swimmingly well. I was the envy of my friends, I mean, what mother of a teenage daughter with their "whatevers" and, "innits," wouldn't want to put her in a pair of lead boots and plunge her fifteen thousand feet below sea level?
Then I started getting desperate phone calls and letters from Jill, complaining about the decompressure chamber, the weight of the lead boots, the helmet, she said it was like having her face in a cage and a goldfish bowl simulataeously. She was anxious about the hungry looks she got from the men on the north sea oil rigs. She suddenly started saying she was afraid of a possible shark attack, no such luck I ponderd. I lay back and dreamed of me and Brad Pitt by the pool with our fruity coloured cocktails with ruder names still!
Then, I started getting nagging doubts too! Plus, jack was really starting to get up my nose! Every time I spoke to him whilst he sat imersed in some inane computer game, he'd either ignore me, or look at me like I was a snot rag and grunt!
Plus, Jill sounded like a positively reformed character, she was offering, offering! To do the dishes, make the beds, do the ironing, washing, mop the floors and do the shopping,Come home darling, I cried, you poor, poor thing!
Jack, I said, you know how Jill's been enjoying herself enormously up there in Scotland? Well, she's come down with a nasty cold and can't carry on with the diving thing, but there's a chance that you could take her place I said, and, if you don't, I'll sell your Nintendo DS and Play Station on ebay I added, just for good measure.
So, Jack took Jill's place on the Deep Sea Diving adventure, and I got back to mine, which was between my ears and figured well, you know what it figured don't you?
That fantasy about Brad Pitt and the swimmming pool was whirling around in my mind again the morning after Jack had gone, and, as I stood outside in that bracing November wind thinking of him and his cocktails, I felt something slosh down on my head.
Looking up, I saw five magpies go flying by! Still, five for silver made me philosophical about the magpie excrement which had landed slap down on the top of my head and was slowly but surely, dripping down my neck as I watched those magnificent birds disappear into the distance. I thought to myself, I wonder how much I'd get for those lead boots if I cashed them in at the scrap yard!

The FTSE Small Cap index ended 2.7 points higher at 2,588.5.
TTP Communications closed on an upbeat note, with an 8 1/2p advance to 56 1/2p after the company revealed a swing to first half pre-tax profits of £1.8m compared with a loss of £5.4m a year earlier.
TTP said its total sales jumped by almost 50% to £31m, although the group cautioned that sales had been slower than expected so far this year.
Cazenove repeated its 'outperform' rating on TTP, calling the shares rating 'undemanding'. And Dresdner Kleinwort reaffirmed its 'buy' stance on TTP.
Regent Inns was also a top gainer, up 4 1/2p to 42 1/2p after both Dresdner Kleinwort Wasserstein and Altium Securities upgraded the group to 'hold', following the group's solid results and on news it had appointed Bob Ivell as executive chairman and John Leslie as chief financial officer with immediate effect.
In Dresdner's view, the appointment of Ivell and Leslie is a positive development as they have a strong track record, hence the upgrade to 'hold' from 'sell'.
Meanwhile, Altium has raised its rating to 'hold' from 'reduce', noting that the full-year results are no worse than feared and the banks remain supportive, despite the covenant breach.
Regent Inns' results for the year to 3 July, 2004 showed pre-tax profits before exceptionals and goodwill from the ongoing activities of £12.3m, down from £14.4m. Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (before exceptionals) fell to £27m on ongoing operations, from £27.3m.
Still on the upside, London Asia Capital shares added 1p at 10 1/2p after the Aim-listed Greater China focused investment & merchant banking group revealed it has reached agreement with Global Emerging Markets, a New York-headquartered investment group, for the formation of a 200 mln usd private equity fund for China.
The fund will take significant stakes in each investment, have board representation and be actively involved in the strategic direction, financing and acquisition strategy, the company said.
EXC shares closed up 3/4p to 8 1/2p after the company revealed pre-tax profits of £354,000 for the six months ended 30 September, and said it is confident of a satisfactory outcome for the period ending Dec 31.
The Aim-listed company's figures included results from its two newly-acquired trading subsidiaries, Excalibur Ventures and David Conrad (International), bought in May and July respectively.
For the quarter ending Dec 31 the company expects sales of around £10m, and sees the gross margin achievable in line with that achieved in the previous three months.
Meanwhile, Marakand Minerals added 1 1/2p higher to 27 3/4p as results showing a wider pre-tax loss for the year to 30 June were offset by news that its Khandiza project in Uzbekistan is 'financially robust'.
Egyptian gold prospector Centamin also gained, to close 3/4p higher at 10 1/2p after positive news regarding its rigs at Sukari.
Adventis Group finished 1 1/2p higher at 26 1/2p as the specialist multimedia and marketing agency said trading for the whole group continues to be positive.
And Walker Greenbank shares closed 1p firmer to 11p after the wall coverings and fabrics group revealed a swing to profits of £989,000 from losses of £1.69m for the six months to end-July.
Finally, Armour Group, also closed higher, up 3 1/2p at 77 1/2p, after the company, which makes in-car entertainment systems, said it is confident about its prospects for the current financial year.
The confident statement coincided with full-year numbers which showed a doubling of pre-tax profits to £2.9m.
Finally, on the downside, Bioprogress lost 3 1/2p at 104 1/2p on profit-taking after the shares' run following several lucrative Chinese contract wins, while ID data closed 1/4p lower to 2 1/2p on news it had disposed of its OneEighty Software unit.

Why study with us?
A selection of work by Interior Design MA students for their Design Museum project
Course structure
During semester 1, the projects set for the Preliminary Design module provide an opportunity for students returning to education to take stock of their position, evaluate their strengths and weaknesses, and identify ambitions for future study. Lecture courses in Technology and Material Practices, Critical Readings and Research Methods run in parallel.
In semester 2, you consolidate and extend the priorities, ideas and strategies established in the preliminary design.
Lecture series in Technology and Critical Readings continue. A proposal for the final research project is developed and submitted, which then takes up the whole of semester 3.
The course explores both the intellectual idea and the spatial language of interior environments. Students develop new skills while extending existing design practices to precisely articulate spatial design proposals.
We offer at least one study trip each year. It might be related to the design studio or a trip that offers you direct exposure to and experience of some of the most contemporary spatial design projects in Britain and mainland Europe.
Our Interior Design MA is designed to promote interdisciplinary research and practice: we are looking to develop creative collaborations between fine artists, designers, architects and thinkers. Our starting point is to acknowledge the complexities and paradoxes inherent in orthodox architectural documentation in order to unearth the dubious simplifications and missed opportunities that result from the tendency to privilege the visual at the expense of our other senses.
In anticipation of 'the creative user', all our proposals originate from a close focus on the existing condition, paying particular attention to local takeovers, autonomous occupations and the blurring of boundaries of ownership and programme. In considering issues of technology, we are concerned as much with intuition, desire and chance as with precedent, economy and established practice.
During semester 1, the projects set for the Preliminary Design module provide an opportunity for students returning to education to take stock of their position, evaluate their strengths and weaknesses, and identify ambitions for future study. Lecture courses in technology and the chosen optional module run in parallel.
The central concern of the work undertaken in this module is to investigate the ways in which a building's materiality, systems of construction and service infrastructure provide an opportunity to bring into sharp focus the polemical, ethical and philosophical positions that underpin the project as a whole. The module consists of a series of lectures and workshops focusing on visual, thermal, aural, climatic, structural, constructional and sustainability issues.
During semester 1, you select the module of your choice from a list of options offered by the full range of MA courses across the School of Art, Design and Media.
By semester 2, work undertaken for the Main Design module consolidates and extends the priorities, ideas and strategies established in Preliminary Design (talks and tutorials on Technology and Material Practices continue to run parallel with the studio project).
Throughout this module, you develop your research skills to construct research questions, hypotheses and methodologies, which you will adapt to issues of personal interest. You also develop and submit a research project proposal.
The Masterwork is the culmination of the course and may be undertaken through creative design practice supported by critical text or as a text-based thesis. The development of the Masterwork proposal is supported by research-based seminars and regular seminar presentations with supervisory input from your course tutors.

Staff profile
Frank O'Sullivan began his teaching career at Kingston University, subsequently running a postgraduate design studio. In conjunction with the PGDip studio at Kingston, he set up and became co-director of One Off Constructions, an architectural design and construction company.
O'Sullivan is now the course leader for our Interior Design MA, where he supervises studio work and research projects. He is also assistant head of school and a visiting professor in Milan.
Over the past two years, O'Sullivan has helped to develop links and exchanges with design departments at two universities in China: Beijing University and Tsing Hua University. Work with these establishments has included lectures, studio teaching, student seminars and discussions about possible future projects.
Student views
"This course is really valuable if you want to become a designer, but it is important to be aware that it is really hard work. There are lots of deadlines and presentations – but these are useful, because they help you to be productive and to develop your projects."
"Our studio-based design module with Frank O'Sullivan and Ersi Ioannidou was inspirational. Challenging us to the maximum in every tutorial, we were encouraged to think for ourselves and push our ideas to their limits."
"My favourite hang outs? For food – Kanok Thai, Black Bird, Cocoa, The Bali Brasserie. For entertainment – Komedia is great for gigs and movies. The Lanes for Brighton's best vintage goods. Seven Sisters and Devil's Dyke for calming the mind with breathtaking nature."
Victora Willis
Our graduates generally succeed in finding challenging and rewarding work in the public and private sectors, nationally and internationally. Brighton graduates enjoy a reputation for being creative and innovative designers, responsive to the needs of people and places.

Arts and culture: The Royal Pavilion is the most famous landmark in Brighton, opening its doors to around 400,000 tourists every year. Right next door is the Brighton Dome, the south coast's premier multi-arts venue, and the Brighton Museum & Art Gallery, which holds a diverse collection of decorative arts, textiles and archaeological artefacts.
Festivals: The Brighton Festival is now the largest arts festival in England and a major milestone in the international cultural calendar. Meanwhile, The Great Escape has been established as the UK's leading event for new music, with over 300 bands playing 30 venues across the city over three days.
Nightlife: Aside from the many nightclubs that line the city's seafront, student favourites include The Haunt, Concorde 2 and Patterns, which attract leading bands and DJs from around the world. If you don't feel like dancing, you can take your pick from the many hundreds of pubs and bars that dot the city centre.
Shopping: The quirky North Laine district houses Brighton's finest collection of boutique shops and independent cafes, while the narrow, winding streets of the South Lanes house collections of jewellery and antiques. Churchill Square is the city's main shopping centre and serves all of your high street needs.

The liberals attempt to avert the country's eyes away from the real issue, Islamic extremism, by focusing instead on a debate about guns is a classic example of the old football misdirection play!
In the use of misdirection the team on offense tries to make the defense believe they are doing one thing when in fact they are doing something completely different.
New York Jets football fans (and Miami Dolphins fans as well) will likely always remember how the 1994 fake spike at the end of the game by Dan Marino snatched victory out of the hands of Gang Green.
It unfortunately seems that now a similar attempt at Flim Flam Florio is currently occurring on the Left side of the political spectrum in the United States (and has been occurring for many years).
An ideology that is trying to turn the narrative away from the actual threat we face from radical Islamic extremists who want all who don't believe as they do dead, into one of calling for stricter gun laws.
By doing so Americans who get their news spoon-fed to them by the mainstream media will jump on-board and be all-in on the concept that this ban of firearms will somehow magically solve our issue with indiscriminate mass killing.
The reality, however, is that as we all know the bad guys will always get whatever weapons they choose to use in order to commit crimes or heinous acts.
This could be guns, knives, explosives or even something as barbaric as the use of fire or drowning.
To be clear this is not an opinion piece concerning whether or not their is a need for assault rifles in the hands of the general public.
Rather it is about my concern that the national security concerns of our Democrat leaders, starting with Barack Obama, are not quite where they should be.
This is also not about this particular terrorists focus on the LGBT community as the next target for the terrorists could very well be a church, synagogue, mall or a sporting event (or any other target as last nights killing in Paris clearly shows). Simply look at the recent history of Islamic extremist inspired attacks to understand how that is the case.
It's not about the vigils that the world holds to show solidarity with the victims and their families each and every time one of these attacks takes place because, if the terrorists have their way, such vigils God forbid could become even more of a regular occurrence!
No, this is a discussion about my lack of understanding at how the Obama administration seems to have somehow been orchestrating the rise of radical Islam either through it policies that began with our unilateral withdrawal from Iraq and that has continued with countless other miscues.
I chose the word miscue carefully because that tends to suggest an innocent miscalculation or perhaps simple incompetence.
I hope that is the case although when the body of work for this President is examined by historians they may find it hard to believe that someone who attained the position of Leader of the Free World could have been so woefully unprepared for the job!
An Incomplete Resume Of Barack Obama Failures Of Leadership!
What Has America Accomplished After Two-Terms Of A Barack Obama Presidency?
- Pre-announced unilateral withdrawal from Iraq leaving a leadership vacuum that led to the rise of ISIS,
- The Exponential Growth of ISIS And Related Terrorist Organizations,
- Failure to recognize ISIS as more than a JV team,
- The Iran Nuclear Deal,
- Loss of international standing with leaderships failures such as the Syrian redline,
- Loss of standing that has led to the Russian invasion of Ukraine and China's takeover of disputed islands in the South China Sea,
- The Middle East In Shambles,
- The Syrian Refugee Crisis,
- Resumption Of The Cold War With Russia,
- The Breakdown In Relations With Our Friends While Fostering New Relationships With Our Enemies,
- An Open US/Mexico Border Through Which The Real Potential Exists That Terrorists Have Already Entered The Country,
- The Gutting Of The US Military,
- The Minimization Or Complete Ignoring Of ISIS Atrocities,
- Splintering Of The United States Along Racial Lines And The Fostering Of A Hatred And Distrust Of Cops culminating in the formation of the #BlackLivesMatter Movement,
- Expansion Of US Debt To The Point Of Choking The Global Economy While Said Debt Has Done Little To Greatly Improve The US economy,
- The Complete Degradation Of Our System Of Government and so on and so on! (Source)
Stricter Gun Laws Will NEVER Supersede Ideology!

If you absotively posilutely have to have Flash on your iPad
Subject: General Tech | July 7, 2010 - 04:31 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
If you can't give up your Flash apps Engadget can tell you about the Frash app, available to install on jailbroken iPads. Once you've unlocked the iPad and have installed software able to communicate between your machine and iPad and installed Frash then you will get an 'F' icon on embedded Flash elements and clicking that will enable playback. The app is still very young and the Flash playback is a little less smooth than you might want but at least you won't be
A brief history of the second most used processor architecture
Subject: General Tech | July 6, 2010 - 04:58 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
ARM thinks small but has grown larger than you might realize, there are an estimated 20 billion of the tiny processors in use. Growing from a small co-processor that would happily work with several existing processors already available on the market to it's current status of comprehensive System on a Chip. Strangely on of the biggest secrets of their success, the incredibly low power required to run these chips was not even a consideration in the original design of the chip but they have since realized and capitalized on that to ensure dominance in the embedded chip market.

Another E3 has come and gone, while a lot of attention was given to Kinect, Move, and the 3DS, it also turns out to have been a good show for PC games as well. Let's start off some E3 related news first.

While we knew that Portal 2 was coming from Valve, their big announcement was that it was also going to get release on the PS3. I admit to have never played the original Portal, and I all those times I laughed at your Portal jokes, I was just faking it.

Good news everybody, you can get rid of all of your A/V connectors
Subject: General Tech | July 2, 2010 - 12:02 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
It might seem a little frustrating for whose who have invested hundreds of dollars in HDMI and other cabling but it looks like you will need to find another use for the random A/V wires around the house. It looks like several major manufacturers will be switching to CAT5e/6 as a standard for A/V cabling. This offers some serious benefits, for instance RJ-45 ends tend to be significantly more robust that s-video. As well the distance you are able to send a signal, in this case 328' is mu

Blur: Twisted Metal has been making news for a while now as a mix of Need for Speed and Twisted Metal, combining a racing game with a bit of good old destructive mayhem. Most of the destruction is based off of on track pickups, five different weapons and three car power-ups

YouTube speaks up for Flash
Subject: General Tech | June 30, 2010 - 02:12 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
The Flash versus HTML5 debate, started before Jobs or the pr0n industry spurned Flash, rages on. For the most part we hear about the problems Flash is so good at creating and the benefits that HTML5 offers, but one should wonder why it is that Flash has had such staying power. YouTube spoke out recently about that, covering the benefits that Flash currently offers over HTML5, though considering the general youth of HTML5 they do not mean to imply that these features can never be incorporated into HTML5, these are the things it cannot do currently.

ePeen Server First Hardmode SOA
01/16 2012
The Tebow Legacy may have been taken down by Tom Brady, but Cyrk kept it alive winning the pimped out new mount for killing hardmode SOA. Here he is sporting the G-Ride.
The ePeen war machine rolls along and wins the wars vs all guilds in it's running province. There remains to be little that can stand in the way of the ePeen organization. Let's hope someone can bring a solid challenge soon.
PvP happened on a PvP server while trying to get PvP gear?? What a shame. Don't worry VoT pals, we will continue to make the Nexus experience tolerable and keep war decking.
The ePeen team has a great weekend in Tera, undefeated in guild wars and terrorizing the zergs. After an addictive PvP experience we are ready to get geared up for launch soon. Get on this train quick because once it starts moving it doesnt stop.
We did it again. The ePeen crew takes down hardmode SOA before it gets nerfed in the next patch.
Only a couple days after launch and all normal content is down. Too easy!
After some good old fashion hard work and dedication from the e-warriors of ePeen the work pays off as victory is ours in an exciting end to a hard fought season. This marks the world first win in Global Agenda.
