What's the Point of Forgiveness?
9am, BBC1
"Father, forgive them for they know not what they do," pleaded Jesus on the cross. Two millennia on, what are we to make of Christ's call for mercy for his tormentors? In a special documentary for Easter, Bettany Hughes asks whether the idea of forgiveness is still relevant to our secular society. Followed by The Story Of Jesus (10am), in which experts reappraise the accounts of Christ's life that have come down to us through the Gospels. Jonathan Wright
Unreported World
7.30pm, Channel 4
You could fill several series with unreported stories from China, a leviathan which becomes no more transparent as it grows more powerful. This film by Oliver Steeds ventures into the semi-rural heartland beyond the big cities, where rumours abound that people traffickers are supplying China's thirst for labour by press-ganging the vulnerable into torturous near-slavery on China's uncountable building sites. Steeds follows one heartbroken father on his quest to find his son. Andrew Mueller
Monty Don's Italian Gardens
9pm, BBC2
There's a surprising amount to enjoy in Monty's enthusiastic but easygoing tour of great Italian gardens, even for those who don't watch Gardeners' World. This week he's in Florence to check out the remarkably stylised gardens of the Renaissance ("everywhere you look there's balance, order, harmony"). This was the first time gardens were considered to be works of art, but they were also intricately connected to power, wealth and learning. As well as this, Monty looks at how British and American gardens reinvented the Renaissance garden at the beginning of the 20th century. Martin Skegg
The Making of Elton John: Madman Across the Water
9pm, BBC4
Elton's album The Union, a duo effort with American session god Leon Russell, is all about honouring the past. This film is an enjoyable attempt to do much the same thing. Here, hard-to-capture celebrities such as Elton himself (and his longtime collaborator Bernie Taupin) detail the humdrum beginnings of Pinner's leading piano prodigy, detail the early setbacks, and then account for the first US breakthrough with Your Song. It's really enjoyable. What with all the tabloid nonsense, you could be in danger of forgetting what surprisingly down-to-earth figures the main players here actually are.
John Robinson
The Defenders
10pm, FX
So far, The Defenders has very much relied on Jim Belushi to flesh things out in the dramatic stakes, leaving Jerry O'Connell to smarm around prettily on the sidelines – a walking, talking goodie bag filled with cheap male cosmetics. This week, however, Pete appears to grow a new dimension. After losing a poker game, the all-new, all-serious Pete pays forfeit by taking on an unwanted case – along with his old courtroom adversary-cum-lover from Planet Hoth, Meredith Kramer. Ali Catterall
10.15pm, Sky Atlantic
As good as David Simon is at creating a series that diverges from its starting point, he's also good at making sure it converges again satisfactorily, too. Treme's first season hasn't been without its issues – Annie and Sonny, officially TV's most annoying couple; the problems of making food preparation dramatically exciting – but the final episode leaves things in a decent enough state for the second series, that debuts in the US next week. One thing rankles – writer's block or no, did John Goodman's character Creighton really strike you as that troubled? JR

Flax Seed
Flax is a cool season annual with short taproots!
Flax is a cool season annual with short taproots!
Flax is a broadleaf with very small, narrow leaves that are less than an inch long. Stems are branched near the base of the plant, with plants reaching 30 to 36 inches in height. The multiple stems or branches of a flax plant are slender and flexible, bearing attractive blue flowers. Flax has the same performance benefits of other grasses and grains, of quick germination and a highly fibrous root mass. Flax will take up excess N and other minerals, will winter kill and provide moderate to high amounts of organic matter back to the soil. Flax provides excellent mulch for protection of erosion and improving water permeation during the winter and spring.

FANUC Robotics
America Inc. recently introduced its M-710iC/50 SE FoundryPRO
robot designed for super harsh environments. The new
M-710iC/50 SE FoundryPRO robot is IP67 protected
for operation in the harshest environments. The entire robot is
coated with a special epoxy, and the wrist has protective
covers to withstand high-pressure washing. In addition, the base
of the robot purges air to avoid vapor entrance.
M-710iC/50 SE sets the
benchmark for robots working in the super harsh environments
of die casting and foundry facilities," said Virgil Wilson,
product manager, FANUC Robotics. "In addition to the
protective epoxy and air purge, we've incorporated coated
bolts, and double oil seals at the joints, making this a truly
waterproof robot."
The six-axis
M-710iC/50 SE is the
latest member of the M-710iC robot series,
which offers payloads ranging from 20 kg to 70 kg, and
a reach of 1360 mm to 3110 mm. Multiple mounting
methods including floor, ceiling, angle and wall, make it
possible for users to have better access to unusual work
"This is an
exciting robot based on its capabilities and flexibility,"
added Wilson, "It's rated 'best in
class' for speed, and has one of the largest work envelopes in
its class. In
addition, its compact size and ability to flip over and work
behind itself maximizes flexibility for work cell design, and
saves valuable floor space."
At the show, the
new M-710iC/50 SE FoundryPRO
robot, along with an LR Mate 200iC robot and an
R-2000iB FoundryPRO robot
equipped with iRVision® demonstrated
intelligent part washing. The
R-2000iB used iRVision 3D robot
guidance to remove one part from a cart, transfer it to the LR
Mate 200iC for deburring,
then to the M-710iC/50 SE (located
in a wash booth) for high-pressure washing. Upon completion, the
M-710iC/50 SE passed the
part by an air knife for drying, then exchanged parts with the
R-2000iB which put the
completed part on an output cart and the cycle repeated

The English have the 12 days of Christmas in song. The high churches have the 24 (ish) days of advent. Here at Crave Something More, I'll be writing a series called the "21 Days of CSM Christmas." Starting December 5 and finishing on Christmas Day, I will write once a day about all things Christmas, in the hopes that we will all continue to see Jesus as the greatest satisfaction to our soul's deepest cravings.
Day 21: Mary's Treasure
A meditation in poem on Luke 2:19
History tells us the tales of men,
Who seek their treasures
On mountain peaks, in ocean depths,
In trade and craft, in caves and vales;
All seeking, some finding, none satisfied.
The gleam of gold, the shine of silver,
The sparkle of jewels in dazzling light.
These objects of beauty and desire,
Perishable though they may be,
Yet bought by the lives of men.
But it is birth which gives us our greatest treasures:
Tiny hands and warm breath,
Searching eyes and breathless sighs,
The hint of father, and mention of mother,
All, the closest thing we can call our own.
So it must have been for the virgin Mary,
When light and song danced in the depths
Of a soul touched by the Spirit of God.
Eyes gazing, arms holding,
This promised child, sleeping at her breast.
When did she know He belonged not to her,
But to the world? A gift from God few would believe,
She alone must bear the joy, and the sorrow,
Always the two, wrapped together,
Between the swaddling clothes.
He was a gift to be sure,
This helpless babe, needing warmth and mother's milk,
Lying, resting, in the humblest of beds,
Yet, eternal Creator of all things,
And Savior of the world.
He was a gift to Mary,
Favored of God and faithful to God,
Whose womb bore the promise of angels and men;
Flesh of her flesh, a firstborn son,
That she could call her own.
He was a gift to Joseph,
Betrothed of Mary, the righteous man
Whose righteousness could never merit
The gift that only grace could give:
To adopt the Son of God as his own.
He was a gift to the shepherds,
Keeping watch over their flocks by night,
Eyes on their sheep, then to the fire,
Then to the visitor in their midst,
And to the glory shining 'round about them.
And He was a gift to us,
Though we did not ask, nor did we seek.
Still, God has given, and opened our eyes,
And we come, broken and poor,
Now inheritors with Him of all things.
So we turn our eyes towards Mary's treasure:
Worshipped by shepherds, hailed by magi,
Promised by prophets, sought out by kings.
And we turn our eyes towards our own treasures,
And forsake all to call Him our own.
Happy Birthday, King Jesus!
For the rest of the 21 Days of Crave Something More Christmas, go here.

Union bigs earn pay
Joe Battenfeld obviously did not do his homework on what my business manager and agents do all day, seven days a week ("Union bigs cashing in," Oct. 25).
All of them work into the night attending town meetings, city council meetings, planning board meetings, etc. so they can secure work for the 7,000 men and women of Local 103. Jobs that have decent wages and working conditions. Sure it seems like a lot of money but working 80 hours a week and the responsibility they carry for our local is a job not many want to or can do.

Ancient History
US: 29 Jan 2013
UK: Import
Daniel Ducote, the main man behind Ancient History, has been building his musical life for a while now, fronting Brooklyn band My Sister in 1994 before it imploded during the recording of what would have been the band's final record—due in part to the slick sound of the production. He busied himself working with, among other things, winners of the UK's X-Factor, but he never left behind his own musical passions. As Ancient History, Ducote has left that slick sterility behind in favor of haunting, confessional spaces. His voice nearly whispers through these songs, over the quiet thump of "Four-Leafed" or the twanging sway of "Hands are For Holding".
There's a lot of restraint here, compositions that seem spare in their hushed sound but are really just full of controlled, intricate textures. The piano of "Quiet Nights in Noisy Neighborhood" is muddled by watery organs and the acoustic guitars of "Eskimo" are slowly drowned out by atmospheric guitar echoes. It's a subtly complex record, one that needs multiple listens to draw out all its musical peccadilloes. It doesn't, however, always invite that next listen. For every moment of subtle expansion (see "Eskimo") there are moments that wallow too long in their own quiet (see "She Gave You the Keys" or "The Courtyard at Midnight") and run out of steam in the process. Tracks is a good first step for Ancient History, and a solid new path for Ducote, though it just needs to strike a better balance between being subtle and disappearing in its own murk.

Torchlit Evening with Birgeneau
It is no secret that the kids are pissed. Since September, we've carried out over a dozen building takeovers of varying scale and intensity on California campuses, and during the Days of Action against Cuts and Hikes in November, students in Berkeley and LA actually fought police. In the past few days, evictions of occupied spaces at SFSU and Berkeley by the armed agents of the state and academy can only represent the future of this form of education. Last night, we marched to war and for once didn't wait for the enemy to strike the first blow.
"Everybody throw your lighters up, tell me y'all finna fight or what?" -The Coup
It is no secret that the kids are pissed. Since September, we've carried out over a dozen building takeovers of varying scale and intensity on California campuses, and during the Days of Action against Cuts and Hikes in November, students in Berkeley and LA actually fought police. In the past few days, evictions of occupied spaces at SFSU and Berkeley by the armed agents of the state and academy can only represent the future of this form of education. Last night, we marched to war and for once didn't wait for the enemy to strike the first blow.
Everyone can follow the thread connecting these events. The police action towards students in the past few months could be accurately called "extraordinarily frightening and violent" as Birgeneau whined of the ruckus that woke him last night. As a leading beacon of the capitalist media recently observed, "Whether you're an oppressive foreign dictatorship or an American state in the process of committing fiscal suicide, you know you're losing the public relations battle when encounters between armor-clad riot police with truncheons and college students are broadcast on TV." Despite the liberal overtones, Newsweek exposes some important points. The dictatorship of capital is indeed performing an ensemble suicide, and as we are its captives, our will to live can only be expressed through revolt -- refusal, negation, and the unleashing of unlimited human strikes. As students, we are supposed to be the embodiment of society producing its own future, but this society has no future; there will be no "return to normal" and we must find ways to inhabit this reality. From Berkeley to Greece and back around the other side, we are in civil war. This is the basis of modern life, and it is high time we illuminate this fact for any who remain confused.
It's worth noting that last night, the activist-mediators and movement-bureaucrats who have behaved as volunteer deputies so many times in the past few months were nowhere to be seen. This was neither peaceful nor a protest; the time for dialogue is over. The path of reform and representation is our target as much as the sphere of academic production itself. Birgeneau was right, we are "criminals, not activists": we are no longer kept obedient by the myth of peace as our normal condition. We must wonder as well about the people who cleared obstructions from the street in the wake of the march – streets used minutes later by police who attacked the mob and arrested 8 comrades on extreme and absurd charges. A reminder to everyone: solidarity means attack!
The rage that was loosed upon the chancellor's disgusting palace was not only well-deserved, but a long time coming and should not by any means stop there. Not until every knowledge-factory grinds to a halt and every rich man's house is either squatted or burned to the ground.

Was this at the chancellor's house that is in a corner of campus?
not to connect the events in any way, but here I'll link to a relevant historical account related to protests at the chancellors house. Back in the 90s, a young woman named Rosebud was active in the People's park scene. (She lived on Regent Street, and happened to be in the same cottage previously used by Ted Kaczynski, when he was a math professor before he became the unabomber). Rosebud was mentally ill, probably bipolar. One day she went creeping around the chancellor's house at night and was carrying a big knife but she wasn't known to be violent, or have anything against him specifically. The police blew her away because she carried the weapon:
The 1991 park riots were over a territorial dispute in People's park. The fraternity-type community got a volleyball court put in, and were almost taking shifts in using it in order to establish a presence, and people responded as though they were trying to erase the early 70s legacy of the park
Saturday Dec 12th, 2009 5:25 PM
Violence only ensures that a protest (and likely future ones) will be met with equal or greater violence in return. For some this may be the end goal in any protest, but it does nothing to bring about positive change in the corrupt, undemocratic management of the UC system. It also serves to alienate those who would support a more open and accountable UC board of Regents.
Saturday Dec 12th, 2009 5:50 PM
Having just read Mark Kurlansky's excellent 'Nonviolence', a few of his 25 Lessons of a Dangerous Idea strike me here:
No 8:People who go to war start to resemble their enemy.
No 9: A conflict between a violent force and a nonviolent force is a moral argument. If the violent side can provoke the nonviolent side into violence, the violent side has won.
No 16: Violence does not resolve. It always leads to more violence.
No 23: Violence is a virus that infects and takes over.
Saturday Dec 12th, 2009 6:45 PM
Comrades, To the Barricades!!!!! Dude, 1871 was a long time ago. This kind of action and rhetoric, as correct as it may be, will repulse, rather than attract the masses. Reads like Revolution-Porn.
Saturday Dec 12th, 2009 8:32 PM
so if its not easy, why not take the easy route?
also all of those arguments are dogmatic rhetoric.
Saturday Dec 12th, 2009 10:25 PM
Violence is for the weak. It is a knee-jerk reaction that reveals your overly-simplistic thinking.
Your acts prevent solidarity from occurring. Only other manarchists and their pseudo-intellectual neo-marxist ramblings believe that violence works. I hope you continue to be a pawn of the system, incapable of realizing that you behave within the narrow constructs that society has indoctrinated you into, so that you may end up in prison and we won't have to be subjected to your betrayal. You perpetuate the system through your ignorance. Those in power count on your automaton like behavior to reinforce the system and their power. It is time to end your neo-colonialist ideology that imposes your elitist garbage on the poor and on the people of color.
way to sacrifice the future of others. how proud you must be of running from the cops and letting others take the fall for your idiocy. Where is your commitment if you are so willing to sacrifice others?

1.) The Chancellor chose to initiate this escalation. Breaking a tacit agreement, the police were sent into Wheeler early Friday morning without warning to mass arrest peaceful students. Some are still in jail, and will remain. This rightly infuriated many students, who felt betrayed by the administration. It was this fury that was directed toward the individual who made the decision: the Chancellor. It became clear that even the most peaceful and orderly of protests would be met with repression. Had the arrests not taken place, neither would what occurred at the Chancellor's residence.
2.) The Chancellor is now speaking of violence, but this is notably not the violence that he himself unleashed on students by deploying the police to beat, smash, shoot, and arrest. The Chancellor was not beaten or clubbed. His fingers were not broken. He was not shot with any rubber bullets. Students activists have been subjected to all of this violence in recent weeks. The Chancellor, on the other hand, was in no danger whatsoever. And yet now, "violence" has become the word of the day. Many students have justifiably concluded that the only violence that matters in the eyes of the administration is that which affects administrators; violence against students simply does not count (even as it is perpetuated with trumped-up charges and bail amounts of $132,000).
3.) Of the eight persons arbitrarily arrested by the police in the aftermath of the concert, two are UC Berkeley students, two are UC Davis students, one is a visiting student from City University of New York, one is a journalist, and two are community members supporting the work of student activists. The student movement draws strength from its connections across various schools and with those from allied communities whose work for social justice is intimately connected with students who are working for a more just and equitable education system. Let's remember UC spokesman Dan Mogulof's outrageous claim on the night of November 20 that the vast majority of those involved in the first occupation of Wheeler were not students when in fact 41 out of 43 were. No one should be fooled by the administration's continued attempts to divide the movement by pitting campus against campus and students against community members.

I don't like to condone violence, and agree with your stated points, but I'd like to hear
your response to the scenario in Palestine, when the terrorist group Irgun used violence and
forced the local inhabitants to leave their homeland. They are forever locked in foreign camps today, because they subjugated to the violence inflicted on them. Did the world stand up for them on their moral righteousness? A simpler question, is what about self-defense?
Personally I think the recent incident has given the chancellor a great media opportunity . Note he was moved away to a confidential location. Reminds me of Bush being flown away during the 9/11 response. A storm over a couple of broken pots and a shattered window. They escalate the incident using deceptive words, why don't the media give an inventory of the damage?

Yes, revolution is necessary, and yes, it's about damn time, but how can a new peaceful and cooperative order be established on a foundation built of violence?
That house is an ultimate symbol of the bourgeois hierarchical power structure of the university, and I would be more than thrilled to base actions there, but smashing light-posts and planters and breaking windows is not constructive, nor is upturning trashcans and newsstands and scattering garbage into the streets.
Now is not the time for revolution in the streets--we are not yet unified enough internally, nor unified enough with the general population--if this trend of violence and extremism continues, the general population will become alienated from the cause, even if it is in their favor. They will be caught in a war, and the militant few will become part of the bio-power-structure also, as forces just as oppressive as the undemocratic order of the bourgeois plutocrats.

We do not need torches, ever. This contempt for our health has been going on for sometime and it is long overdue that it stop. These torches stink as all smoke is bad for the lungs and torches are always dangerous.
Sunday Dec 13th, 2009 8:51 PM
What is everyone else who posted comments smoking?
You aren't going to convince anyone with your dogmatic pacifism.
Violence is a tactic. Property destruction is a tactic. Non-violence is a tactic. Do what you are comfortable with. If you don't like it, don't do it. Or better yet, get outside of your comfort zone.
For you non-violence dogma types, a few book suggestions:
"Pacifism as Pathology" by Ward Churchill
"How Nonviolence Protects the State" by Peter Gelderoos
Monday Dec 14th, 2009 8:28 AM
Ward Churchill is best known for his support of the US terrorist murderers, the contras, in Nicaragua, in their overthrow of the Sandanista government. He also made the extremely reactionary and wrong statement in support of the government's lie on the 9/11 Inside Job, referring to the workers murdered in New York City as "little Eichmanns." Adolph Eichmann was a Nazi known for his murders of thousands of Jews using mobile gas vans. As we saw the 9/11 Inside Job on TV, we saw NO AIR DEFENSE, and that can only mean it was an inside job perpetrated by the US military, under the direction of Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Rice & Giuliani. Further evidence of an inside job is the controlled demolition of the Twin Towers and Building 7, which was not hit by a plane. 9 of the so-called hijackers were alive on 9/12/01. The planes were on remote control guided by the US Air Force. Thermate, a military substance, was used to bring down the towers and Building 7. A military plane or missile was used to hit the Pentagon on the side that was under construction, in addition to construction explosives. Those who promote Ward Churchill and any concepts of violence are no friends of the workingclass or education. The future of education will be decided by organizing the workingclass for a general strike to put an end to the capitalist profit motive.
Monday Dec 14th, 2009 10:15 AM
I'd encourage actually reading this articulate response to Ward Churchill's often cited essay.
If we want to actually win positive changes for education, our communities and the world, it will require being strategic and thoughtful, not dismissing debate as "whining" or calling for "smashing" instead real struggle that builds movements, increases participation and community support.
Challenging Ward Churchill's "Pacifism As Pathology"
By George Lakey
Monday Dec 14th, 2009 7:27 PM
You could probably write and ask him, but my understanding is that Churchill and his friends opposed the Sandinistas because they wanted to be allies of an indigenous group that were being pushed off their land, and were pressured to drop their separate ethnic identity to become 'workers' in cities of Nicaragua. Indeed, Churchill has many right-wing edges in his philosophy, even though he is classified as an anarchist.
That said - when he spoke at AK Press, he stressed that the book's title is 'Pacifism as pathology' rather than 'Pacifism *is* pathology'. In other words, he wanted to detail how insisting on nonviolence under all circumstances, including when your people are being attacked or there is ample evidence that the regime in power won't respond to reason or nonviolence civil disobedience.
In my opinion, he is correct, but he presents the situation too simply. I think >85% of society would agree that war or violence resistance against dictatorships during WWII or various colonial struggles was acceptable. The converse of the strawman argument, trying to convince pacifists that violence defensive tactics can be morally acceptable, is that violence does *not* guarantee success and might be equal or lower in success than other approaches. The genuine, and very difficult question, is which tactic gives us the greatest chance of success for this situation?
Just look at the breakout of dozens of black bloc style street melees in U.S. cities during the escalation in Iraq, plus various DNC/RNC events, and global economic governance meetings. I would say that they were successful at Seattle WTO, but breaking windows and bringing hundreds of thousands of people out during spring of 2003 didn't slow down the Iraq events at all.
There aren't that many strict pacifists around really, however, u.s. residents are a lot more shocked by violence at political rallies than in europe where this stuff happens all the time - in France, Greece, Germany.

More than 40 others were injured when the passenger bus veered out of control and plunged down a mountain road.
Officers say the incident happened in Doda district, 165km (100 miles) north of the state's winter capital, Jammu.
Reports say nearly 90 passengers were travelling in the 40-seater bus, many on rooftop.
Reckless driving
The hilly area where the accident took place has got thick forests and narrow winding roads, steep hills and deep gorges and valleys.
The bus was travelling from Srinagar, the state's summer capital, to the remote town of Sangaldan, according to reports.
Senior police official SP Vaid told the Associated Press news agency that the he "heavily overcrowded" bus spun out of control and plunged down a mountain road near the town of Tattapani, north of Jammu.
Some of the critically injured passengers have been moved to a hospital in Srinagar, the state's summer capital.
Road accidents are common and claim thousands of lives every year in India.
Most of the accidents are blamed on reckless driving, old vehicles and poorly maintained roads.
Most passenger buses are also old and in poor condition.

One of the great thing about Club Nintendo is that if you are going to buy Nintendo games, you can earn a few extra ones at no additional cost. This month, Paper Mario was one of those titles for 250 coins and I was super excited to finally be able to play it through. So how does it stand more than 10 years after it's release? (Note: Paper Mario is available on the Wii Shop channel and not currently on the eShop. Also, this review was originally published in Always Nintendo at http://alwaysnintendo.com/paper-mario-review/ by yours truly) Concept
Entrusting Intelligent Systems to follow up the legendary Super Mario RPG for the SNES, the Super Mario world is paper-fied but still maintains the RPG elements while adding a few of its own. Go on a quest as Mario traveling around with partners like a a Goomba, Koopa, or even a Boo.
First off, the graphics hold up fantastically! It's a little hard to believe this is an N64 game if it weren't for the button prompts and a small few graphical glitches. Otherwise, this game holds up probably even better than Wind Waker thanks to the paper aesthetic. Its a great game to play on the Wii U gamepad but you still need a Wii classic controller.
Later in the game, the frame rate occasionally suffers, generally when using a move like tidal wave with a bunch of enemies, but it isn't too bad.
The sound is good with a few sound effects you come to expect in a Mario game. There is no voice acting, but I didn't miss it at all. The music itself worked well with the game. You can also use a few items that change the sound made in battle just for some variety.
Since this is an RPG, one of the main components is the story. However, one thing Mario RPGs started being known for is its humor and charm. This game is no exception. It may not be as funny as later games, but it has its moments, probably more so to people who haven't learned what to expect (though reading Bowser's diary was a good moment). Most of the time you play as Mario, but there are a few moments in most chapters where you control a limited Peach, sneaking around the Castle using the same passage way over and over.
There are a few fan service items found in the game such as 8-bit Mario in Bow's mansion. I can't tell you how long I played with that little bit.
The regular gameplay takes place in a 3D diorama world and a separate battle screen. In the overworld, you can talk to various people and solve puzzles, many utilizing the different abilities granted by your partners. One plus side is that your different partners are used throughout the game and not just when you m. There is plenty to explore in the game as there are a few sidequests to occupy your time or perform along the way. At first you move slow, but you can eventually buy an item that speeds up your dash considerably and use pipes to travel to different places quickly in typical Super Mario style.
As you travel around the Mushroom Kingdom and beyond, you'll meet many characters and enemies. There is typically a mini-boss you have to face sometime during the chapter and since it's normally the same one, you can find some humor. For the most part while traveling, you are able to and susceptible to "first strikes." This allows the player or enemy in the overworld to attack automatically at the beginning of the battle. Otherwise, you normally go first. You still have to be careful because if you use the wrong move and not properly prepared, you could take damage instead of giving it.
In the Overworld, you will also find one of the elements this game adds to the RPG world, Badges! These can be found all over the Mushroom Kingdom. Some are bought or traded for and some others are the result of side quests. A few badges provide upgrades to Mario's abilities such as more power or defense. Some allow Mario to be safe while jumping on spikes or fire creatures. Others grant Mario the ability to use another move such as an earthquake hammer attack or multiple jumps. Either way, these items become essential to the game and finding your favorite combination can take a while. The tricky part is that they take up what are called Badge Points which are only increased through leveling up or dealing with a shady character. The thing about leveling up is that you can only increase HP, FP (the game's version of MP), or BP and only one of them at a time. This adds another layer of strategy to this first-glance 2D RPG.
In the battle screen, you control Mario and one of his partners. This limitation requires some planning as you need to figure out which partner is best for the current situation. You can switch partners, but that takes one of character's turns. Each partner has the ability to switch, do nothing, or do their normal abilities/special attacks. Mario has a lot more options as in addition to the partner's powers, he can jump or hammer, use an item, or use a star power. While normal attacks are free to use, special attacks take Flower Points, this game's version of MP. There are multiple ways to recover FP, as well as HP such as Items, Heart Blocks, Toad Houses, finish a chapter, and leveling up.
Star moves, however, are a little more complicated. They use your Star Gauge, with the number corresponding to the Stars you have rescued. If it isn't full, then each time it's Mario's turn after the first round in battle, it will slowly fill. To speed up the process Mario can Focus. However there is a special item called the "Group Focus badge" that can allow the partners to Focus as well. The other ways to replenish your Star Gauge is to use a Toad House, Level Up, or Complete a Chapter.
In the actual battle, you might be surprised how much variety there is. With numerous opponents with various attacks, it takes a while to get used to their patterns to successfully block their attack. At some point early in the game, like by the end of the 2nd chapter, you gain the ability of the action command. This allows the player to increase the power of his attack by performing a certain action at the right moment, or lessen the damage taken by pressing A at the right moment.
Mostly each partner has his or her own action command and then each special attack might have a unique action command. For example, tidal wave makes the player enter a random sequence of A, B, and C-down to increase its power, while Power Shell simply has the player hold left until the right moment. This helps keep the game from becoming monotonous.
Something that might scare some people is the inability to save anywhere. However, the game has plenty of save blocks scattered throughout the overworld, and generally where you hope to come across one as you progress. This makes it possible to play in spurts and also help ease your mind. One thing the game also does is make it so enemies you defeat won't reappear in the dungeon until you leave the actual dungeon. This allows for ease of mind as you backtrack through the dungeon. Of course some dungeon design effectively utilizes the camera angle and other elements to create more puzzles to explore.
The game might feel slow at first, and the lack of the action command at the beginning might feel worrisome to veterans of Super Mario RPG, but many tutorials are optional, permitting people to replay with some ease. I never once felt locked out of finding something until I hit the very end game. However, I did find level grinding to be tedious until said endgame as enemies that use to give you one star point (experience point) soon give nothing and if you don't have the First Attack badge, you still should fight them unless you want to lose money.
Also to note is that you cannot skip cutscenes. However, since this is an old game that just holds up really well, that can be forgiven.
Paper Mario's story and the character models may be two dimensional but the rest of the game is everything but. So much depth is provided in the games making this an interesting and fun title to play. There are a few conventions that show its age as well as its limits, but the gameplay still shines in the end. You might pay $10 for this classic on the Virtual Console, but you get a game that can take a week of constant play to beat with consistent quality. My recommendation is for turn-based RPG fans that want a little taste of action as well as fans of Super Mario RPG.

That's it for me today. Have a great weekend.
Primrose Riordan will be back in the hot seat taking you through Monday morning.
In case you missed it, Canberra's own tennis sensation Nick Kyrgios had the second top tweet by an Australian athlete, just behind Tim Cahill.
The tweet, following his stunning fourth-round Wimbledon win over world No.1 Rafael Nadal, had 770,000 impressions and Kyrgios gained more than 35,000 new followers in 24 hours.
Erm, ok then...........
— Nicholas Kyrgios (@NickKyrgios) July 1, 2014
Kyrgios's victory had a huge impact on Twitter.
The 19-year-old was mentioned more than 205,000 times in 24 hours.
Canberra's booming market scene will get another boost tonight when the Night Market Canberra launches at The Realm precinct in Barton.
The park will be transformed into a hub of stalls, food, live entertainment and a pop-up bar, with the precinct's businesses all getting involved.
Existing Realm food outlets Ostani, Malamay and Maple and Clove will cater the food for the event and a pop-up bar at Maple and Clove will serve juices, smoothies, jugs of pimms and frozen margaritas.
The market will also be an opportunity to have a first taste from LiLo Tang Japanese, which is to open in the Realm precinct in mid-January.
In local sport, there are two T20 cricket grand finals being played at Manuka Oval this Sunday.
In the women's grade, Eastlake will play Weston Creek in a rematch of last year's T20 grand final from 11am.
At 7pm, the final of the men's Konica Minolta Cup will commence. Which clubs contest it will be decided in semi-finals starting earlier in the day at 1.30pm.
Wests will play North Canberra Gungahlin in the first semi at Jamison Oval, while Weston Creek plays Queanbeyan at Stirling in the other decider.
Point Hut Crossing is now closed due to recent wet weather, the ACT government advises.
The following roads also remain closed to motorists and other road users:
- Sunshine Crossing
- Angle Crossing
For up-to-date information on road closures please call Canberra Connect on 13 22 81 or visit www.tams.act.gov.au.
In sport, Canberra United will take on Melbourne Victory in the W-League semi-final in Geelong at 3pm tomorrow.
They're hoping central defender and former captain Ellie Brush will be able to play, after going down with an ankle injury in their spectacular 2-1 victory over premiers Perth last weekend.
If United win, they could see another home grand final next weekend – but only if Sydney FC beats Perth on Sunday.
In the WNBL, the Canberra Capitals take on Townsville Fire on Sunday at the AIS Arena at 3pm.
The Capitals will be without Lauren Jackson, who was due to make her long-awaited return, but didn't make it through training this week.
The team will also celebrate Carly Wilson's 300th game, which she brought up three weeks ago in Perth, before the match.
Both games will be televised on ABC TV.Back to top
The new ACT ministry has been revealed, Kirsten Lawson reports.
Deputy Chief Minister Simon Corbell will become the new health minister, taking on the difficult portfolio on top of his responsibility for Capital Metro and renewable energy, and his role as Attorney-General.
Mr Corbell shoulders the bulk of the workload in the reshuffle.
Chief Minister Andrew Barr announced a minimal reshuffle, dividing former chief minister Katy Gallagher's responsibilities among the existing ministers without changing ministerial jobs significantly.
He will look to a wider reshuffle after Ms Gallagher's vacancy in the Assembly is filled.
Greens Minister Shane Rattenbury, keeps his current portfolios of Territory and Municipal Services, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Affairs, and sport and corrective services, with the addition of justice.
A third man has been charged over the violent robbery of an armoured Chubb van in broad daylight 10 years ago, which saw a guard peppered with shotgun pellets.
The heist saw $151,000 stolen from Chubb security guards, as they collected the weekend takings from the Mawson Club about 3.45pm in May 2004.
The two security guards were carrying satchels of cash back to the van when they were confronted by two men armed with guns.
The 59-year-old Jerrabomberra man will face the ACT Magistrates Court today, charged with aiding and abetting an aggravated robbery.
Prime Minister Tony Abbott has used morning TV to confront critics of his controversial chief of staff, suggesting they are sexist.
During an interview with ABC News Breakfast on Friday, Mr Abbott said colleagues attacking Peta Credlin should "take a long hard look at themselves" saying they were doing it because she is female.
Ministers and backbenchers have accused Ms Credlin of ruling the government with an iron fist and questioned key strategic decisions.
Long-running tensions again spilled into the public arena this week when Fairfax Media revealed Mr Abbott's office blocked Foreign Minister Julie Bishop from attending climate talks in Lima. She only obtained permission to go after after taking the matter to cabinet.
Chief Minister Andrew Barr will announce new ministerial portfolios and the Barr Labor government ministry today.
Mr Barr will discuss the changes before a tour of the Canberra Region Cancer Centre at lunchtime today.
Assembly reporter Kirsten Lawson will be on hand to cover the event.
Yesterday, Mr Barr and balance of power Greens minister Shane Rattenbury reaffirmed the existing parliamentary agreement signed with Katy Gallagher in the wake of the 2012 election.
Whoever believes people aren't interested in politics was not spending much time on Twitter this year.
The #auspol hashtag was the top Twitter trend in Australia in 2014 and the only Australian trend to make it into the global top 30 trends, a year-end analysis of who talked about what and how often on the social media platform shows.
The budget was the most talked about issue, with five separate budget-related stories making it into the top 10 days of discussion of politics, according to a data analysis by Twitter.Back to top
People feeling festive will no doubt be spoilt for choice for Christmas events over the weekend. But here's another.
The Belconnen Christmas in the Park festivities and carols will begin at 5.30pm tomorrow with face painting, jumping castles, a petting zoo, food and display stalls, live music and more, organisers promise.
Carol singing will begin at 7pm at Page Park on MacAdam Street and entry is free.
Here are the stories which made the front page of today's paper:
Mass food poisoning victims plan legal action against caterer
Prison rates at highest in decade
Abbott's cleaners ready for wage talks
Buyback begins: 16 accept offers
The Defence department is investigating why the community was not warned of an air force flypast over yesterday's Australian Defence Force Academy graduation parade at Campbell.
Several residents were left spooked when the jet began circling low.
A Defence spokesperson said it was "standard practice" to issue a noise alert prior to the event so local media could inform residents, but something went wrong this time.
"On this occasion it would appear a technical glitch has prevented this alert from reaching the intended recipients," the spokesperson said.
"Defence is trying to determine the cause of this error and regrets any concern [the flypast] may have caused."
Andrew Barr has pledged to use his historic status as the nation's first openly gay head of government to continue to advocate for same-sex marriage in Australia.
He also declared the economy his number one priority and signalled no let up in the Government's determination to deliver the light rail line from Gungahlin, during his first official day as Chief Minister yesterday.
His elevation came the same day the ABS released statistics showing the ACT's unemployment rate had a slight increase to 5.2 per cent in November.
Mr Barr blamed the disappointing unemployment rate on Commonwealth cuts and said creating jobs for Canberra was his leading role.
"The Barr Labor Government will push on with supporting the private sector to help our local businesses to grow and create jobs," he said.
"That's why we're pushing on with our $2.5 billion infrastructure program – which will create jobs and provide the important infrastructure our community needs."
Another action-packed weekend in Canberra begins. There's baseball at Narrabundah from tonight, markets galore in every corner of the capital, art exhibitions on every end of the scale, and concerts for music-lovers of al genres from hip-hop to Christmas carols.Back to top
Outgoing Chief Minister Katy Gallagher has hit back at "sexist and offensive" comments made by Liberal opposition leader Jeremy Hanson including whether she will have more children after leaving the top job.
Ms Gallagher described Mr Hanson's speech in the Legislative Assembly yesterday as a "graceless negative speech outlining a 1950's vision for Canberra" via her Facebook page Thursday evening.
Tomorrow ACT motorcyclists will descend on Old Parliament House for the annual Motorcycle Riders Association Toy Run.
It's a show of force by riders who collected tonnes of toys which are distributed through St Johns care and The Salvation Army to kids across the territory.
Celebrate Christmas at Llewellyn Hall, Canberra School of Music, on Saturday night from 7.30pm with music written 230 years apart by two master composers, Antonio Vivaldi and Benjamin Britten, performed by the Canberra Choral Society Massed Choir.
Vivaldi's Gloria, widely used in popular culture, is filled with rich contrasts – from exuberant to reflective, joyful to sombre, playful to grandiose, lyrical to virtuoso.
Then there's Britten's A Ceremony of Carols, one of the most beautiful pieces for children's voices, sung by the youthful Turner Trebles and Vocal Fry.
The centrepiece is Britten's Saint Nicolas, an enchanting and moving biography of the patron saint of children (and inspiration for Santa Claus).
An action-packed account of the life of Nicolas, complete with bathtubs, shipwrecks, pickled boys, and ladies doomed to shameful sin, it's also full of musical surprises - everything from baroque counterpoint to delicious dissonance to music hall doggerel.
Tickets $22.43-$56.07 from premier.ticketek.com.au.
President George W. Bush was fully aware and an "integral part" of the CIA's torture of terror suspects, his vice-president Dick Cheney said on Wednesday.
The long-awaited US Senate report released on Tuesday on the program of harsh treatment and torture of detainees said Bush only learned details of it in 2006, four years after it started in the wake of the 9/11 attacks on New York and Washington.
Detainees were beaten, waterboarded - some of them dozens of times - and humiliated through the painful use of medically unnecessary "rectal feeding" and "rectal rehydration", the report said.
Speaking to Fox News, Cheney denied Bush was kept out of the loop. He said the then-president "was in fact an integral part of the program and he had to approve it."
Bush has yet to speak out publicly on the Senate report.
Tony Abbott wants a referendum to be held in May 2017 to recognise Indigenous Australians in the constitution, but won't commit to a date until he is confident it will succeed.
"I am prepared to sweat blood on this," the Prime Minister declared at a Recognise dinner at Redfern last night, saying the cause was "at least as important as all the other causes this government has been prepared to take on".
While he favoured putting the question on the 50th anniversary of the 1967 referendum, Mr Abbott said: "But I do not want it to fail because every Australian would be the loser. It is more important to get this right than to try to rush it through.
Speaking after Mr Abbott, Opposition Leader Bill Shorten said the referendum question needed to be settled before the next election to allow the campaign to move forward.
"Without a specific change to advocate, it's not possible to raise awareness beyond the abstract," Mr Shorten said.Back to top

Campus Plan Concept
The Campus Plan Concept drawing illustrates the fundamental principles organizing the campus plan: it shows the framework of the plan.
Prominence of the pedestrian is a theme continued from earlier plans. The campus is now best and fully revealed to people who move through it on foot. This experience will continue to be an asset to the College and will create opportunities for people to be brought together as they traverse the site.
Green, representing landscape improvements, dominates the drawing and the intent of the plan.

The Winner Takes It All ("Not Black Enough")
Original Lyrics from the musical Obamamamamia!
© 2007 Wikiality.com
Source Lyrics © Copyright Lyricsfreak.com. All Rights Reserved.
(Lead: Barack Hussein Obama)
I don't wanna talk
About the things I've not gone through
Though it's hurting me
That's how it has to be
I've played all my cards
And that's what you've done too
Nothing more to say
Call a spade a spade
The winner takes it all
The loser standing small
It is Black History
Don't mess with destiny
I was in your race
Thinking I belonged there
I thought it was my place
But I was disgraced
Things were whispered, things were said
And I did not belong there
I was just a fool
Playing by the rules
Black alone does not suffice
You must have paid the price
(Or at least your family did)
Otherwise there's no street cred
The winner takes it all
The loser has to fall
"'Cause I am an "African
African American"
But tell me does it quack
Like the duck I once knew?
Why does it feel the same
When the "N" word's used in vein?
Somewhere deep inside
You know that I'm just like you
But what can I say
Rules must be obeyed
Al Sharpton will decide
The likes of me abide
Spectators of the show
It's "Paparazzi Go!"
The game is on again
Frenemies I'll defend
Campaigns in shopping malls
The winner takes it all
I now can see so far
To "The End of Blackness"
And I understand
My pigment is quite bland
I apologize
If I made you feel bad
Seeing me so white
At the fundraiser tonight
But you see
The winner takes it all
The winner takes it all...

TRAVELLERS who have been kicked off a beauty spot have now set up home a few hundred yards down the road.
The group illegally set up camp at Blackleach Country Park in Walkden .
Council bosses were forced to close the park's visitor's centre because of the disruption after the group arrived a week ago.
They were served with an eviction notice by Salford City Council and left the site on Thursday. But they moved to Harriet Street, close to the park.
Local authority chiefs have now issued them with another eviction notice, ordering them to leave the site by today.
Cllr Gena Merrett, assistant mayor for housing and environment at Salford City Council, said: "We are aware that travellers have now left Blackleach Country Park and moved to Harriet Street in Walkden.
"The eviction process commenced immediately and they have until this morning to leave the site. We will continue to ensure there is minimum disruption to local residents."
Council bosses are working with the police to minimise disruption but local people have expressed concern.
Walkden South councillor Iain Lindley said: "I support any moves by the council to ask the travellers to move on as soon as possible. Some local residents are obviously concerned by this."
Greater Manchester Police and council staff served the first notice on Wednesday, which forced the travellers to leave the country park the following day.
A spokesman for GMP said: "As this is a civil matter, Salford Council is leading on it.
"However, police will monitor the situation and check the site has been vacated by the deadline. "

Clunking sound front end.
While I'm here ...
Been having this metallic sounding noise coming outta the front end, possibly the passenger side.
It happens when going over bumps or road imperfections. I tried to establish a pattern as to when it happens and it seems strangely random. I can go over a road bump, and nothing. Then a small crack on the road and I hear it. And it's not perpetual.
I'm waiting to have some time to lift her up and look under there. I did crawl down there and nothing seems outta the usual.
I know it can't be control arms and/or bushing.
check your swaybar end links
When did you last refresh your suspension components?
I got this car 20k ago with 117k on odo. New Bilstein rear shock. Rear shock mount reinforcement. Shock mount rear. Rear shock compression absorber (bump stop). It's got new swaybar in the front and new power slot cryo rotors and pads all 4.
I can tell it's got original control arms and bushings- Also, I don't see any receitpts for them. Springs and shock absorber also stock and I've been contemplating on replacing them just for ride quality. I've replaced my CA and bushings on my previous e46 and they were beyond shot; didn't experience any clunking sound.
another case of dried up lithum grease in strut mounts
I think you're right. It does sound exactly like it's coming from a spring.
How do you fix that?
Still need to look at your LCAB.
Check your ball joints too. I had one that was loose and caused a noise when going over bumps.
It looks like your passenger side control arm inner ball joint is shot.
Jack both front end up, swing front right tire to full extend left and right, use a flash light careful to examine the rubber cover of the inner ball joint (one that mounted to the brake assembly, not the middle one), you may find it cracked and grease is leaking, this is the indication of a bad ball joint and will give you the clunk when go over sharp bump or road crack.
A loose or bad right sway bar bushing may also contribute to the clunking, check the bushing mounting bracket to make sure it is tight as well.
I think Mercforhire suggestion is more likely the culprit.
When CAB are totally shot, it's not the sound that will alert you the most; It's the ride quality. As I've mentioned I've replaced control arms and bushings on my previous e46. This is different.
The sound sounds more like "ding", as if metal touching another metal but very hollow and light. I'm suspecting that spring, either hitting something or the bearings like Mercforhire suggested.

As trustees got ready to approve the 2014-15 tax rate and budget for Sulphur Springs Independent School District this week, they were asked to amend the current budget by $1,894,343 due to expenses over the original 2013-14 projected budget.
At least two of the expenses were due to unanticipated costs in completing two summer projects, which were otherwise funded with money remaining in some funds at the end of the class year, and others due to uncontrollable expenses such as higher than expected fuel costs.
The SSISD Board of Trustees Monday night approved amending the $30,917,656 general fund budget for fiscal year 2013-14 by $1,751,319 to reflect additional expenses. It should be noted, however, that the general fund also generated $164,162 more in revenues than the $31,081,140 expected in the FY 2013-14 budget.
At meetings earlier this summer, the school board agreed to spend money left over in some functions for HVAC repairs, purchasing of iPads for some students, graphing calculators to prepare eighth graders for testing requirements and other repair costs. Trustees approved amending the 2013-14 budget to reflect those expenses.
Two projects approved for this summer required additional funding and equipment above the approved rates, including one which displaced Bowie Primary School staff for a few days as they reported earlier this month.
Asbestos abatement and tile installation at Bowie were more extensive than the $163,000 trustees approved for the project in late June, requiring additional money which required an amendment to the 2013-14 budget.
As one of two campuses still needing carpet replacement — Lamar Primary is the other — Bowie was scheduled to have carpet removed and about 32,000 square feet of new vinyl clad tiles installed after asbestos was removed from the older flooring.
The project was abated but a problem was discovered when the company arrived to put down the new tile — lack of a moisture barrier.
SSISD Maintenance and Grounds Director Dan Froneberger explained that Bowie, like most schools constructed in the 1950s and 1960s or earlier, didn't have moisture barriers. When the installation crew discovered this, they alerted school officials, who in turn made an emergency call to someone skilled in that area to perform the necessary work.
That, of course, put the project a few days off schedule. In fact, some Bowie staff who reported for duty were displaced for a few days recently while crews worked overtime to finish up the project before classes started Aug. 26.
"Some Bowie teachers were a little grumbly. They were displaced a few days. We got them in. I can't thank Dan and his crew enough for getting this done so quickly," Superintendent Michael Lamb said, noting the maintenance and operation crew worked over the weekend to complete the project.
The other project required more funding for an additional part to complete a software program upgrade and was also approved by trustees earlier this summer.
Trustees gave approval in June for spending of $21,539 for READ 180 software upgrades and $20,901 on System 44 licensing. According to McGraw and Lamb, as READ 180 was being installed, staff learned there was one more part that was needed to make it work. In order to get it up and going for use by the start of classes this week, an additional $125,000 was spent to complete the process.
The food service budget also exceeded the original $2.3 million approved in the 2013-14 budget by $137,974 during fiscal year 2013-14, which ends Aug. 31, requiring a budget amendment.
The food service budget was estimated to bring in $2,226,500, but actually raked in an additional $21,083, raising the food service revenue from 2013-14 to $2,247,583. SSISD has a healthy food service program, operating in the black while many schools lose money on the program. During regular financial evaluations, auditors have recommended spending more of the food service funds so that the overall fund balance (combination of this year's total balance and the previous year's) isn't quite so big. An additional $137,974 was allocated and spent from the food service budget for facilities and equipment repair in campus cafeterias.

The first, will be based upon the last -RELEASE, so in this case we are testing 9.1-RELEASE RR. The second will be called 9-TRUEOS, and is based upon 9-STABLE. In addition to getting new package sets, it will also be updated to the latest version of -STABLE monthly. This will allow users to get new FreeBSD features, drivers and such in a more timely basis. The images on the mirrors are for testing now, but I'm hopeful they will stabilize in the next few months, and then we will "promote" them to an officially supported release. BTW, people keep asking about -CURRENT builds and I'm considering it. Once we work out all the kinks with -STABLE && -RELEASE we may then start a -CURRENT track as well. -- Kris Moore PC-BSD Software iXsystems -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Hi Florent:
I don't understand why you couldn't get in. I just clicked on it now and
had not trouble. I didn't have to 'log in' - I just clicked on it.
Maybe the website was having problems when you tried. You might want to try
again cause you can do a search for both Albert Dutil and also for Irene and
from there you can contact the posters.
DID you try my suggestion of the www.rootsweb.com family trees who have also
included this couple? Again, you can contact the owners of these trees.
Good luck

Also, when I searched them at www.rootsweb.com I found a few family trees

Give it a try
On several occasions now, Jim Stodola has tried to impress all of us with his vast knowledge of the Bible and Christ. Unfortunately, it appears that he either flunked the course or never attended any biblical education.
Our Lord and Savior, Jesus of Nazareth, did not come to teach us your socialist agenda. In fact, he told part of the flock that if someone would not work, they did not deserve to eat.
Christ came to restore our connection to the Father by sacrificing himself on the cross and the shedding of his blood.
The most important commandment is to love God with all your heart, mind and soul.
You are to love your neighbor but not their sin. Liberals have a very hard time with that one.
Remember all the vicious attacks and a film assassinating President Bush. Liberals are the thinnest-skinned people you can find but they will be the first to point out the beam in your eye.
Stodola, you might want to do a bit more checking on that McDonald's and Wendy's claim. The vast majority of them are locally owned.
It is our neighbors who put their own money at risk and work long hours trying to better their lives. In building their dream, they also provide good jobs for many youths and others who have found careers in that field.
There is also another commandment that liberals seem to ignore. You shall not covet anything that is your neighbor's.
How about giving that a try?

Michael Vick doesn't want to go into training worried about his job.
The Philadelphia Eagles quarterback said today that he hopes that Coach Chip Kelly makes a decision about the starting quarterback position before training camp starts. At the moment, Vick is fighting for the starting job with Nick Foles.
Vick said: "Hopefully, (coach) Chip (Kelly) makes a decision before training camp, and we won't have to answer that question … So we can go out there as quarterbacks and just focus on this season and not answer questions about competition every day."
The Eagles just finished up a mandatory mini-camp and Vick, who started the majority of the 2012 season, isn't happy to be sharing snaps with Foles.
Vick said: "It's hard. I would be lying if I said it wasn't, but that's just what I have to deal with, and I'm going to keep dealing with it until I see otherwise."
This isn't the first time that the Eagles quarterback has talked about his place on the depth chart. Earlier this week, Vick said that he will be the leader on the team regardless of if he ends up the second string quarterback.
Vick said: "Always going to be a leader on this team, regardless of what my place is … I am confident that I continue to be a guy that is looked up to on this team and continue to play my role."
Who do you think the Eagles should start in 2013?
