Wilkinson Leads Georgia Past #13 Texas A&M
April 19, 2013
ATHENS, Ga. - Chelsea Wilkinson struck out a career-high 12 batters as the University of Georgia softball team handed the No. 13/13 Texas A&M Aggies a 3-1 loss in the series opener on Friday, April 19 at Jack Turner Stadium in Athens, Ga. With the win, Georgia improves to 32-15 on the season, including a 9-7 mark in Southeastern Conference play. Texas A&M drops to 35-10 overall and 6-9 in league play.
Wilkinson went the distance for the Bulldogs in the circle to improve to 5-2 on the year, allowing just one run on three hits. Her 12 strikeouts were the most by a Georgia pitcher this season. Lauren Ainsley suffered the loss for the Aggies to drop to 11-4 on the year in the complete game performance. She gave up three runs, two of which were earned, on six hits and two walks.
Georgia didn't waste any time getting started, as Niaja Griffin led off the bottom of the first with a single, stole second and moved to third on an errant throw by the catcher on the steal. With a runner at third, Paige Wilson hit a double off the top of the wall in left center that scored Griffin and gave the Bulldogs a 1-0 lead. Geri Ann Glasco followed with a single through the right side that moved Wilson to third. With runners on, Kaylee Puailoa struck out but reached on a drop third strike and a throwing error by the catcher that scored Wilson and made it a 2-0 game.
Texas A&M looked to answer in the top of the second, as a walk and a single put runners on with one away. Wilkinson settled in and got the final two batters to strike out swinging to end the inning.
After two scoreless innings, the Aggies got on the board after Jenna Stark was hit by a pitch with one away. A walk moved to her to second before Meagan May singled up the middle to score Stark and make it a 2-1 game. Wilkinson struck out the final batter to the inning and any threat of another Aggie run.
Georgia tacked on an insurance run in the sixth to extend its lead to 3-1. Tina Iosefa led off the inning with a walk. Pinch runner Maya Branch moved up on a Tess Sito single up the middle. With one away and a runner at third, Samantha LaZear recorded an infield single that allowed Branch to score, as she beat out the throw to the plate.
Wilkinson was near flawless through the final three innings, allowing just two base runners. Texas A&M's best chance came in the top of the sixth, as a pair of runners reached with one out. Wilkinson allowed her defense to work behind her, as the final two outs were recorded to end the inning.
Georgia and Texas A&M will play the second game of the weekend series tomorrow, April 20, at 4 p.m.

About the Property
Condo, 3 Bedrooms, 3 Baths, (Sleeps 6)
So, make plans now to relax at the beach and enjoy your vacation at this beautiful condo on Blue Mountain Beach.
I live in my condo 6 months of the year, so you will find my condo comfortable and completely ready for you! This winter I've added more lights over the kitchen bar, installed a contemporary opaque shade by the lunch table and hung more original art . Each year I work on my home to keep it clean, updated and in great working order. In 2016 the master suite was repainted, new drapes, linens and new original art was added to make the master suite comfortable and fresh. We also got a new dining room table and lighting. Comfortable seating for 6. Also new slipcovers for the upholstered chairs in the living room and on the balcony.
Also more original art was hung throughout the condo.
In spring 2015 we put a new ceiling fan in the twin bedroom, extra chairs for the balcony dining table, and cushions for all the chairs around the table... also indoor/outdoor rugs for both the balcony conversation area and dining area....to make it the most perfect outdoor living experience! Check out our pictures!
In 2014 we installed a new HDTV flat screen TV in the main living area, a new kitchen faucet, a new king mattress set in the master-bedroom and added some new original art. Between 2011 to 2013 we ripped out the carpet in the bedrooms, extended beautiful porcelain tile everywhere, and added some throw rugs to make it cozy! Freshly painted bedrooms, new drapes and a new mattress/box-spring in the queen bedroom and refreshed the bathrooms with new lighting and mirrors, and of course updated the kitchen with new appliances and stone counters with glass backsplash kitchen...oops, also got a full size (and quiet) front load washer/dryer (we provide the laundry detergent).....lots to enjoy at the beach in a condo that makes you feel right at home---clean, comfortable and has everything you need for a great vacation!

The Studio Gallery, 26 D Logan Lane, Grayton Beach View on map
Car: Necessary
My condo is 2 blocks off Hwy 30A. This is a road that runs parallel to the Gulf of Mexico-winding in and out of all the beach communities. If you love to ride bikes or walk you'll enjoy 30A. BTW, did you know that there is over 20 miles of bike path along 30A? So walkers, runners, and bicyclist love to be out, getting some exercise but also seeing all that 30A has to offer. And, another piece of trivia is that 30A is zoned for no-high rise condos. It's known for its preservation land, art communities, cool shops, local music and great restaurants. So, when you need a reprieve from the beach, I suggest you explore 30A- on foot, by bike or by car.....The art, food and music will be a feast for your soul!
Owner info
Year Purchased: 2000
About the owner: I bought this condo in mid-2000. It had always been a dream of mine to have a place at the beach...but had never found that 'right' spot until I came to Blue Mtn Beach and saw this great place on this beautiful beach with this amazing floor plan. I retired in 2001 and now live here every winter with my mother. Because we live here, the condo is equipped with everything we like for comfortable living. Spring 2010 we did a lot of decorating- new original art throughout the condo, fresh fabrics in the living room, new stainless steel appliances in the kitchen, and new twin mattresses in the third bedroom. 2011- We remodeled the kitchen with granite counters, cherry cabinets, glass back-splash and stainless steel accents. And of course I had to change the paint color- so the kitchen, main living area, front hall and hall bath were all painted to compliment the new kitchen. And, 2 new flat screen tvs, new iron, new vacuum, and new overhead fan in the Master Bedroom. In 2012, we bought a new full size, front load washer and dryer. We love how quiet it is! Also, I finally replaced the old ceramic tile with beautiful 20 x 20 inch porcelain, and for the balcony got a new teak dining set that can seat up to 8 and last but not least, new shower-heads in the master and queen baths. And, in 2013, repainted both the queen and twin bedrooms and then with new drapes and bedskirt in the queen bedroom. Also, all bathrooms got new mirrors, vanity lights, towel bars and accessories. Did I say that tile is now in all the bedrooms? Yes, it is and I put throw rugs in all the bedrooms to make the rooms cozy and comfortable. In 2014, we got a new flat screen tv for the main living room and a new king mattress set for the master bedroom. Hope you enjoy everything as much as we do.
Why the Owner Chose Blue Mountain Beach, FL, USA:
This building sold me because of it's privacy---2 blocks off of Hwy 30A (which I love), yet still located near everything. We are near great restaurants, great shopping, some of the best art galleries in the south, and right off the bike trail....and the building itself is on the highest point of the Gulf of Mexico. We often sit at the hot-tub at night looking down on The Gulf searching for dolphins and enjoying the best sunsets! And, I know this is trivial but I love that we have parking under the building. Hot days, rainy days - the car is protected and so are we.....easy to load and unload the car when you don't have to worry about the weather.
The Unique Benefits at this Condo:
I have to say this is the best floor plan that I have ever seen in a condo.The layout is an open floor plan with a main living and dining area and 2 wings of bedrooms. This is made for a family or multiple couples. Everyone has their personal, private space and then they meet in the middle in the large main living area for conversation, dining and entertainment. The spacious balcony becomes another 'room' for dining and toasting those glorious sunsets. ENJOY!

I'm trying to figure out how to support this in the consolidated build without duplicating code. My current thinking is to introduce an optional <element> in the "test-macro" definition to supply the <sysproperty> to the <junit> task, and then make new <junit-sequential-solr> and <junit-parallel-solr> targets, including the solr.directoryFactory <sysprop> element in each <test-macro> invocation.

What made you a winning player?
Hi Poker folks,
This message is for all the people who went from a negative ROI to a positive one. In other words; went from losing players to winning players.
What is the magic thing that helped you? Was it a special book you read? A new tactic you tried? A training website you found? This forum? Something totally different? Or all things combined?
Please let me know As you already guessed, I am still struggling.
Thank you,
Patience. There are some hands that are tough to fold, but you just have to do it.
Look for opportunities. Notice everyone is checking or only calling? Jump on it even if you have nothing and that pot could be yours. Are players distracted by chat or obviously playing more than one table? They will most likely fold if you raise because they have not been following the table and players.
Resist going against the donk that goes all in pre-flop every hand. In a tournament these people are like the person who keeps farting at the table, they just stink.
Stay low. If you win big, keep playing low limit. Don't automatically jump to a higher limit because you have the minimum buy in. You will play better at the lower limit because you are not risking all of your bankroll.
If you feel uncomfortable at the table or like you are sitting on ice, take a break or switch tables. Depending on live or online, sometimes just walking around helps you to come back refreshed. Sometimes taking a longer break (a week or a month even) can really help out. It has for me anyways...
I could go on and on. I'm sure the others have great advice. Just take it easy and have fun and don't quit your day job to gamble. And don't forget to bathe and get plenty of rest and sunshine.
Hand selection: https://www.cardschat.com/guide/starting-hands
Proper bankroll management: https://www.cardschat.com/guide/how-much
I don't know if the links are relevant to why you're struggling but it doesn't hurt to look.
re: Poker & What made you a winning player?
I would say that the most important thing that people often neglect in poker is good bankroll management. I don't need to give figures, but there are loads of articles online. If you can't do this, then all the rest of the strategy is pointless and you will almost never be able to win. This is what stops a lot of aspiring players from ever being able to move up and get good.
If you have the restraint to be able to do that, THEN you can work on your strategy. I did this by watching Twitch streams and professionals on Youtube (which is quite fun in itself), reading online articles and now participating in an online forum .
Good luck!
Not depositing, playing only freerolls at start with no bankroll and earning money in long term play, thats what made me a winning player
well played 24 years live at houses or card dens etc... only way i learned was application
2003-2009 I played online still didnt study much im a know it all honestly lol
I did well very well by most standards yet I look back at all the time wasted till i met a coach till got some real advice. last year played a bit then took a year off.
This year I come back a few months ago and see all the videos and twitch started paying attention adapted my game to some of those I was watching listening to learning.
Last week was sick so took the week off and studied
thought it all through the change in my game the ability to add in processes I forgot and adaptability to play more than one style etc.. I think I have reached a complete level and know need to keep studying keep working keep
THINKING sometimes you forget sometimes it takes awhile till a lightbulb sparks
take time to decipher what you learn is a big step for me digest it etc...
that is the newest lightbulb as i was still on auto
It took me years to constantly stay at a positive ROI. There is no magic formula. I would suggest a few things for tournaments:
1. Tight is right.
2. Bluff less
3. Learn to "shift gears" and know when its you NEED to loosen up or play tight.
4. Stay ahead of the blinds, take more chances early not later.
5. Learn to be aggressive.
6. Learn to be aggressive with the right hands. This doesn't mean only AA, KK, QQ.
Tournament play is a lot simpler than cash games as they are totally different animals. In lower stakes poker if you play TAG you most likely will be successful. As the stakes go up, the game loosens up. There is more money out there, more chances are taken, and more deception is used.
No matter what you read, youtube, ect... there is no substitute for just playing. The more hands you get in, the more situations you are exposed to. I've been playing poker for 20 years for money and still read every day to learn something new, reinforce good habits, and just stay sharp, but still try to get a few games in every day also.
I can not boast of constant profit in the game. But when I play with discipline and bankroll correctly lead, then I get segments into a plus. Therefore, a main magic believe discipline.
Good luck in the game and life

maglissman Review
beautiful and earthy album
This album is very pretty. Bright leaf green and deep naturals. There are straps to hold your photos or memos in will fit a 4x6 or 5x7 vertically. If you want horizantal viewing you have to turn the book. The album is pretty strong in natural smell eminating from the foliage and papers used to make the book. I would suggest opening it from the plastic wrapper to let it "air" out a bit.

Please help me as I'm desperate. On 20 December I lost my annual train season ticket. I had paid £4,250 for it two weeks earlier, after taking out a loan from my employer. I lost it somewhere between King's Cross and Royston in Hertfordshire.
It was in a blue wallet with my photocard and Oyster card. After hunting high and low and calling Royston, King's Cross and Ely stations (where the train ended) I filled in the form for a duplicate ticket.
I was initially told that my station would need to send off for a replacement, but I have just been informed by First Capital Connect that it will not replace my card because I'd previously lost two monthly season tickets and already had duplicates for those.
I have spoken to FCC staff twice and have tried to impress on them that I simply don't have the funds to travel to work without my season ticket, and as a result, there is a very real possibility I will lose my job.
I appreciate that some might think I've been very silly to lose more than one ticket, and I admit I can be rather forgetful, but surely I can't be expected to go out and buy another £4,250 ticket? Why can't we have an electronic system where they simply cancel my old card, as if I'd lost a credit card? AB, Royston, Herts
Losing more than £4,000 on a season ticket is horrendous, and your experience should serve as a reminder to other users. According to the rules and regulations governing this area, First Capital Connect was within its rights to refuse you a duplicate card, as it had already replaced two tickets.
The National Conditions of Carriage states: "You will not, in any circumstances, be issued with more than two duplicate season tickets in any 12-month period." The Association of Train Operating Companies' manual confirms this.
You had lost two cheaper – if £408 can be called cheap – monthly tickets, and according to the rules were denied a third.
The train company says rules are set nationally to prevent fraud, although the ticket has to be used in conjunction with a photocard, so we wonder how much the finder could use the ticket, given that guards check regularly.
Of course the real problem is the fact that the technology used to make train tickets is stuck in the 1970s. It will strike many people as crazy that Oyster cards used in London can be turned off remotely, but a £5,000 train ticket can't.
Happily, First Capital Connect responded quickly. It has had a change of heart and will replace your card as an exceptional gesture of goodwill.
"As she has come to you, it seems highly unlikely that AB is trying to defraud the railway. Instead, she appears simply to be somewhat forgetful. In the light of this, and her concerns that she could lose her job, we will make an exception and send her a duplicate ticket," says a spokesman. It has now done this, and you have been trying to find a way of insuring it.
We suspect you will struggle to find an insurer prepared to cover the loss of a season ticket. Instead you should guard the new ticket with your life.
We welcome letters but cannot answer individually. Email us at email@example.com or write to Consumer Champions, Money, the Guardian, 90 York Way, London N1 9GU. Please include a daytime phone number

Events to collect prescriptions meds a success
SULLIVAN COUNTY, Tenn. - Local police departments call their drug take-back events over the weekend a success.
The Bristol, Virginia Sheriff's Department reports people dropped off 72.8 pounds worth of unused prescription medications.
The sheriff's department will host another take-back event in October if you missed it this weekend.
The Sullivan County Sheriff's Department reports a collection of 40.6 pounds.
Sullivan County also has a deposit box in the sheriff's department's lobby if you still have medications you need to get rid of safely.
That deposit box is available Monday through Friday during normal business hours.
Officials say keeping prescription drugs out of the wrong hands has become a matter of health and public safety.

Nice stay in a lovely place
About the Owner
About Sara Glover
My husband and I bought No.9 Tiger Lane approximately one year ago and spent time refurbishing the property to create a modern yet comfortable base for guests to enjoy. We have lived in a nearby village for many years so know Beverley well and what it has to offer. We were attracted to the central location of the property as it offers guests the opportunity to enjoy Beverley's attractions and amenities - especially the many places to dine - without always having to use the car.
Why Sara Glover chose East Riding of Yorkshire
The property is so convenient for all that Beverley has to offer, with its many shops, cafes, bars and restaurants. The picturesque pastures of the Beverley Westwood are right on the doorstep for picnics or evening strolls. If you want a day without the car, it's easy to hop on a bus or a train to the coast or visit the attractions of York, Leeds or Harrogate. Hull is only 15 minutes away by train where you can visit the art gallery, its many free museums or The Deep - one of the world's most spectacular aquariums.
What makes this house unique
The central location of 9 Tiger Lane allows guests to enjoy its many cafes, bars and restaurants without having to use a car as all are within walking distance. Although lying in the heart of the Georgian Quarter of Beverley, Tiger Lane is tucked away off North Bar Within, so enjoys peace and quiet, with the picturesque pastures of the Beverley Westwood also within a few minutes stroll away from the front door.

Wonderful place to stay in Beverley
My 2 sisters and myself stayed here for 4 days. It is a clean and well maintained property and exactly as described on the website. We had a very enjoyable stay here and it was great to hear the church bells on Sunday, I hadn't heard bells for such a long time so it was an extra treat. We enjoyed the Saturday market which we didn't know about beforehand and there are lots of stalls selling all sorts of things. The difficulty was that we couldn't buy too much as we were limited by baggage allowances on flights. Beverley is central to lots of places in Yorkshire and it doesn't take long to get anywhere by car.
I would certainly recommend the accommodation and Beverley to anyone, I liked Beverley the moment I drove into it. It is such a warm, welcoming city and very clean and tidy.
Lovely clean property in the centre of town
This house is in a great location and parks two cars which is very useful as there isn't much overnight parking around the centre of Beverley. Over three floors you will find everything you need and a little outdoor space at the rear for those sunny afternoons.
Nice place to stay
Enjoyed our break in Beverly,House is great and very close to town.
Perfect 3-month stay in Beverley
I spent 3 months in Beverley and had a thoroughly enjoyable stay. The property is ideally located, 1 minute from the centre of town and yet quiet, apart from the chiming of the church bells on Wednesday evenings and on Sundays! It is spacious, comfortable, modern and very well equipped, including plenty of good books, games and tourist information. I didn't have a car, but the bus station is less than 5 minutes walk away with buses to Hull, York, Hornsea and other destinations, so a car is not a must, especially as there is also plenty to do in Beverley. (The train station is also only 10 minutes on foot and a very large Tesco is only 5 minutes walk away.)
Apart from the 2 beautiful churches, the art gallery and Guildhall in Beverley are also well worth a visit. The library too is well equipped. I enjoyed an afternoon at the Races and walking up on the Westwood. The new East Riding Theatre is only 10 minutes walk away from the property and has a very lively programme. I also enjoyed using the Leisure Centre. Shopping is excellent and the Saturday market is also a lot of fun. The restaurants and coffee/tea shops are many and the ones we tried, such as Oginos, The King's Head, Farthings and the Woolpackers Inn were all very good.
I plan to return again next year and have no hesitation in recommending both this property and Beverley for a holiday.

Populations of once dominant reef building coral Acropora clathrata in Arabian Gulf is declining, mainly due to thermal bleaching and anthropogenic factors such as rapid urbanization, toxic wastes, destructive fishing practices, land reclamation and sedimentation. To actively restore coral populations, continuous supply of corals is required without causing damage to the existing reefs. In this study, as part of the coral gardening approach, mid water coral nurseries were constructed in Abu Al Abyad Island, United Arab Emirates following the coral tree nursery model. Six hundred fragments, with an average length of 6.32cm (SD ±1.23cm) of Acropora clathrata were mounted in the nursery and reared for 21 months while monitoring the health of the fragments continuously and estimating the growth rate and survivorship of the corals every three months. Only 9.8% of mortality was recorded in the entire study period, while a linear growth rate of 6.44cm・year-1 (SD ±0.72) was achieved in the first 12 months and 9.25cm・year-1 (SD ±0.63) in the remaining 9 months. Almost negligible mortality and satisfactory growth of corals during the entire nursery period suggest that the coral tree nursery model is suitable for propagating A. clathrata in Arabian Gulf.

League of Legends has long been the premier MOBA in modern eSports. It boasts a global championship series, professional teams and a massive user base of rabid fans. It has also, for better or worse, become the metric by which other MOBAs in the genre are judged, and one game that has gotten the sharp end of the stick in that comparison is Heroes of the Storm.
Heroes of the Storm has taken a lot of criticism for its "overly simplified" mechanics, occasionally chided as an "easy mode MOBA." But the interesting thing about that is that Heroes of the Storm has managed to directly solve some of the major complaints that the League faithful have about their own game. Take a look below to see what we mean.
The meta swings
One issue that League of Legends runs into on a fairly regular basis is metagame shifts. Riot has diligently continued to balance their game, tweaking items and champions to keep the game fresh and bring new strategies to the table. But it's been a double-edged sword at times. The game has passed through several eras of dominant character archetypes and strategies: the League of Assassins, Carries, Bruisers and Tanks have all been phrases used to describe League in past years.
Now this isn't all bad — these balance shifts are ideally meant to keep the game from becoming stale. However, these power spikes can leave unlucky champions and even entire character types to take a back seat to the new flavor of the month. This month, your favorite champion might be the best in the game. But next month may be a different story.
Even the smallest changes can cause huge ripples, as well. This is especially true when it comes to item changes; buffs and nerfs can single-handedly rebalance entire classes of champion. In 2014, a change to Black Cleaver made it so powerful that AD casters like Pantheon could simply stack the item and burst down just about anybody.
Where League has struggled with containing the impact of tweaks and changes, Heroes of the Storm has found an elegant solution. Unlike League, Heroes has done away completely with gold and items, and made earned experience a shared pool among each team (for you League fans out there, stay with us here for a minute; this isn't as strange as it sounds). Replacing gold and items is the Talent system, which allows players to choose how they augment heroes and their abilities in more direct ways.
It's also allowed the devs some real freedom to get creative with how heroes can be upgraded. For instance, Nova's Anti-Armor Shells talent allows her to do 250 percent damage with basic attacks while slowing her attack speed proportionately, and Jaina's Storm Front talent gives her Blizzard ability 100 percent more range — changes that League of Legends isn't designed to make to its champions.
This means that instances like the aforementioned Black Cleaver fiasco are practically non-existent. If a certain character is doing too well, developers can target the exact abilities that are causing the issue without affecting the entire balance ecosystem. The same is true for buffs.
Balance shifts are still very much a part of the game — recent patches have brought Kerrigan to the forefront of Heroes where Kael'thas and Li-Ming used to be the two instant pick/ban prospects. But Heroes' inherent variety due to its different maps, all of which are available in competitive play (except Haunted Mines … may it rest in peace), saves it from falling prey to a single dominant composition strategy. Team compositions aren't just a numbers game based on hero strength, but are driven by what heroes are particularly suited to a specific map.
That's not to say meta isn't on the mind of the community — try picking Medivh in Competitive Mode and see how your teammates react — but the balancing of heroes lies less on the razor's edge of numbers and items, and more on the innate strengths and weaknesses of the hero itself.
The starving support
One of the recurring challenges in League of Legends is the role of supports. Designed around providing utility to the AD Carry and the rest of their team, supports find themselves in a very difficult situation to balance. Supports get less gold by design, meaning that they're expected to work without items for much longer than the other champions in the game. Depending on the year, this design has varied in reliability. In Season 3, supports stockpiled wards and little else, tasked with giving their team vision while the rest of the team actually played the game. Even now, supports are expected to act a certain way, practically required to build a Sightstone among other support-centric items. Given that supports are expected to roam for ward placement, they are nearly guaranteed to be at a lower level than their teammates come mid-game.
Supports also have a murky relationship around scaling with items. Giving support characters too much utility without scaling potential puts them head and shoulders above their peers, making them an insta-pick, while giving supports too much scaling potential can turn them into carries (Lulu and Karma can vouch for that).
But when there's no gold for teams to fight over or individual experience per character to contend with, the situation changes. So instead of planning and designing around the fact that a hero won't have resources, a supports in Heroes of the Storm continue to be on par with their team throughout a game. And with talents giving varied but structured upgrades, supports can feel empowered in the same way their teammates are.
Is a support going to carry the game like an accidentally fed Alistar can? Probably not. But there also won't be a situation where a support is powerless to do their job.
The character crisis
This difference in design also seeps its way into the general character pool. Many of the champions currently available in League of Legends have significant overlap in terms of what they can do. The term "power budgeting" is one that gets thrown around in League design, and because of the choice given in the item selection process, it limits where power can be assigned in a champion's kit.
There have also been moments of design trends playing a significant part in champion design. During the Rumble era, a significant number of champions got a dash and a shield. Then, several characters followed in Vayne's footsteps and got 3-hit procs. More recently champions have had mini-game-esque setups to get the most out of their kit, such as Skarner's Crystal Spire rework, Garen's Villain mechanic, and Bard's chimes. Newer champions have seen some pretty neat stuff, such as Aurelion Sol's flying lane ganks and Kled's cowardly lizard companion to mix things up, but even these interesting new mechanics are nestled soundly into well-defined archetypes.
Heroes and their subsequent mechanics in Heroes of the Storm, on the other hand, play it fast and loose. There are characters that fit archetypes, no doubt about it. Jaina and Kael'thas, for instance, are both fairly straightforward burst mages. But some heroes are just completely off the rails. The Lost Vikings are three heroes controlled by one person. Cho'Gall is one hero controlled by two people. Abathur doesn't even engage in direct combat, instead hiding around the map and augmenting his allies. Nova and Zeratul have cloaking fields as their passive abilities. No matter where you look, heroes are pulling out the stops left and right.
The reason they can pull it off once again hearkens back to Talents vs. items. Items give nearly universal choice to players to build their character in whatever direction they'd like. The drawback to that is that abilities and roles need to remain static, or champions can break past what their roles are meant to be and become good at everything, like Tank Ekko did. But in Heroes of the Storm, hero talents allow individual characters to arc off in crazy directions in a controlled way. Attack speed-based tanks, combat-heavy supports, immobile siege tanks, and more are all possible in Heroes because the power budget lies completely within an individual hero, instead of being shared between that character and the augmenting items they buy.
The lone lane
League of Legends has continued to struggle with how to integrate top laners into matches during laning phase. Currently, three of the four laners in League live on the bottom half of the map, and with junglers battling for dragon control, the battling top laners often end up on an island by themselves. There have been some good efforts to change this, such as the Scuttle Crab and the Rift Herald buff, both of which ideally provide junglers and mid laners a reason to venture up to the top half of the map. But frankly, it hasn't really taken — the top lane has continued to be a largely isolated position, that doesn't see much map mobility outside the occasional Teleport down to the dragon pit or into a gank situation.
Heroes of the Storm approaches this convention differently. Mobility between lanes and objectives throughout a game is not only encouraged, in many cases it's practically required in order to win. Heroes' mounting mechanic gives players a fast way to get from lane to lane, meaning that players fighting in a solo lane don't feel chained to their position. Sure, leaving a push-heavy Specialist like Sylvanas in lane by herself isn't a great idea, but leaving to assist in a gank or claim a map objective doesn't guarantee a lost tower for your troubles — and when it does, you're often getting something of equal or potentially greater value in return.
Two sides of the same coin
In all these comparisons, let's not lose sight of the fact that League of Legends and Heroes of the Storm are markedly different games. While Heroes may have the solutions to some of League's problems per se, the culmination of that is a wholly different experience, and one that doesn't suit a lot of League players. In fact, the way Heroes plays causes some problems of its own for that player base: individuals have a harder time carrying games without personal leveling and power scaling, and the lack of a laning experience with things like the necessity of farm can feel downright foreign. And that's okay!
But one thing should be made clear. Heroes of the Storm is not the MOBA "easy mode" that it has sometimes been made out to be, and it deserves a fair shake on its own merits — not as a comparison to its genre contemporaries. If anything, Heroes proves that the MOBA can be a lot more than just a descendant of Dota, or an imitator of League.

Is it Easter Season yet? -- last I heard this was still coming Easter season 2014, but it's been in the process of coming now for several years (since at least 2010). I haven't heard anything new about it being still on the way, but since things are kind of slow here right now I'm bumping this post up again to remind people not to panic if someone tries to make hay out of this along with the (so-called) "Gospel of Jesus' Wife", which was pre-marketed the previous autumn (2012) but referring to a much different text (one likely a modern forgery unlike this text).
In fact it was a bit of recent news about the 2012GJW which inspired me to wonder whether the 2013GJW was also still coming this Easter: the Smithsonian had made a documentary on the 2012GJW that somehow didn't get released in the USA after a strong scholarly case was made about the text's forgery. A reader at Mark Goodacre's blog happened to find a French version of the documentary on Youtube, however, which Mark (and the Smithsonian originally I guess) posted about yesterday. The 45 minute doc can be watched here, by anyone reasonably fluent in French (though I am not): http://ntweblog.blogspot.com/2014/01/gospel-of-jesus-wife-smithsonian.html
Mark thought it was a pretty balanced work overall, and noticed very quick additions about the question of forgery that, naturally, go unanswered in the doc because the interviews were made before that became an issue.
To be fair, the scholars involved in promoting the 2012GJW seem to be subsequently cautious about trying to capitalize on it further; but if this other text being pre-marketed last year actually shows up this Easter season, I wouldn't be at all surprised if 2012's GJW managed to ride the brief gravy train somehow while the gravy was good. {wry g}
A collection of Mark's articles following 2012's brewing GJW media circus (not to be confused with 2013's brewing tempest in a teacup, concerning a completely different text, reported about below), can be found here.
************originally posted Oct 26, 2013************
Whilst poking around elsewhere on other business, I happened to run across New Testament historian Mark Goodacre's blog (now added to the blogroll over on the right), where he and Richard Bauckham (whom I am also a bit of a fan of) have managed, a few weeks ago, to conspire together to explode next Easter's scheduled marketing sceptical conspiracy foofaraw ahead of time.
Unfortunately for Simcha Jacobovici and Barrie Wilson, the project they've been trying to whip up into a froth for the past few years, supposedly a lost gospel kept secret in England for over 200 years and feasibly dating back to the 1st century (from a 6th century copy of a 5th century text), is being outed ahead of time as nothing other or more than a Syriac copy of the well-known 1st century Jewish poetic romance of Joseph and Aseneth -- a text Mark Goodacre happens to be very familiar with.
Now, it is certainly true that some ancient Christians who (like a lot of people back then, and still today who know about it) enjoyed and appreciated this text, also liked to draw parallels between Joseph and Jesus, somewhat on the line of their application of the Song of Songs to Jesus; and since Aseneth (or Asayath in the Syriac) is obviously a major character in the romance, she would naturally be compared to the Church -- and not only the Gentile Church but the Jewish Church, just as non-Christian Jews compared her to God calling the Jews out of paganism, and perhaps still calling pagans into Judaism today, with prophesies in the Jewish scriptures, which we call the Old Testament, that God will one day be totally successful in reconciling Jews and Gentiles together. (Prophesies picked up by early Jewish Christians like Paul of Tarsus in helping build and lead the Christian Church in evangelism across the Roman empire.)
This is all fairly plain sailing, but add some "decoding" and, hey presto, this well known text (which probably predates the ministry of Jesus) isn't about Joseph and Aseneth at all, or Gentiles converting to Judaism at all (in the dicey but opportunistic situation of early 1st century Palestine under early Roman occupation), but about Jesus of Nazareth and Mary Magdalene the Gentile priestess! Which the Church doesn't want you to know about BECAUSE IT'S A CONSPIRACY OoooooOOOOOOOOOOooooo! {ka-ching}
Uh, no. That Syriac text has been translated into English twice, except for the Joseph and Aseneth part which wasn't translated because we already have plenty of those from much better and older sources, though this particular copy (from a previous Greek text) has probably already been factored by textual critics into critical translations.
Which might explain why the duo have had such problems getting the work off the ground to begin with over the past few years: it's going to be reaaaaaaaalllyyy easy for scholars absolutely everywhere (regardless of their faith or lack of) to go, "Guys, it's just Joseph and Aseneth, which is a very nifty text, but nothing being held secret by anyone or even untranslated before now."
Having had their Jesus Tomb theories repeatedly thrashed by scholars on every side of the aisle for clumsy opportunism, probably didn't help their chances of getting this going either.
Still, as Mark says (who has been extremely charitable toward the project since he ran across it himself), "The key thing will be to read Jacobovici's and Wilson's book when it comes out, and to assess its claims with a fair mind. After all, we too might be surprised!"
For more on the pre-breaking story (so to speak), the relevant entries so far at Mark's blog (which I highly recommend anyway) can be found here:
and the followup by Richard Baukham
And since Mark is a big fan of the Aseneth poem, he's been taking the opportunity to update his page on it (adding and fixing links etc.), so anyone who wants to read the poem in various languages and versions can find a lot of info here:
If it turns out, as seems highly probable now, that this is only going to be a report about the Syriac Joseph and Aseneth poem translated from Greek by the friend of an anonymous monk while translating Zachariah Rhetor's Ecclesiastic History (and a handful of some other things he thought were cool) into Syriac, then we can all just tamp down on any speculative panic-mongering when it arrives next year, and then take the opportunity to indulge in a bit of well-deserved appreciation for a text with a rich Christian (and Jewish) literary history.

(Redated and updated): Mark Goodacre and Richard Bauckham: Exploding Sceptical Piffle Before It Explodes!
Is it Easter Season yet? -- last I heard this was still coming Easter season 2014, but it's been in the process of coming now for several years (since at least 2010). I haven't heard anything new about it being still on the way, but since things are kind of slow here right now I'm bumping this post up again to remind people not to panic if someone tries to make hay out of this along with the (so-called) "Gospel of Jesus' Wife", which was pre-marketed the previous autumn (2012) but referring to a much different text (one likely a modern forgery unlike this text).
see Metacrock's Blog today for debunking of Daren Brown's alleged debunking of religious experience.
Perhaps nothing scares atheists like feelings. They scared to death of religious experience arguments. Nothing raises their hatred like talking about religious experiences. Daren Brown is some sort of British stage magician who has a new stage act supposedly inducing religious experiences. Atheists waste no time in arguing that this is proof that such experiences are just accidents that mean nothing. He states "I examined the Placebo effect and proved just how powerful fear and faith can be." Of course he assumes that because there is a psychological process that produces faith that then there's no object of faith beyond that process that has any real bearing on life. This is really no different than the one's who claim to stimulate parts of the brain to induce religoius experiences.
In calling it "placebo" he's trying to set up the suggestion that it's unreal, it's unnecessary, God is the great cosmic sugar pill. Then he totally ignores the nature of real placebo. It's only for medicine, there's no evidence that such suggestive keys can manipulate us apart from expectation. All the things that he does in relation to evoking the psychological process are manipulative means of setting up the association. Yet most religious experience of the sort called "mystical" is not expected. In about half the time it's experienced in childhood, and much of the time mystical experiences contradict the doctrine of the experiencer . If it was a real placebo it should confirm expectations. Placebos work by expectation. They don't work by challenging expectations. Calling it a placebo is wrong and improper and it's probably only done to evoke the concept and prepare the atheist to be inoculated against emotion by making her suspicious of religious feelings.
