Reviews for this host's other properties
Danke,die Wohnung sehr schön. Leider wie beschrieben , kein Lift im Haus und die Frau Alena haben wir nur bei Ankunft gesehen,ansonsten nicht.Bei unserem abgesprochenen Abreisetermin,bzw.der Schlüsselrückgabe ( es gab nur einen Schlüssel ) kam sie nicht und wir mussten nach tel. Absprache den Schlüssel im Briefkasten hinterlegen.Leider gibt es keine Verbindung in disem Stadtbezirk durch ein öffl. Verkehrsmittel und der Weg zur Metro ist abends schon durch die schlechte Gehwegverhältnisse und den abenteuerlichen Personenverkehr riskant.
Because another person planned to stay in my chosen apartment way longer, Alena offered me another flat - and it was absolutely amazing. The apartment was equipped with everything you need, it was clean and cosy.
The communication with the host worked without any problems - we had contact via Skype and the telephone.
Because I was not sure about the time of my arrival, I asked a friend of mine to pick up the keys, what also ran smoothly.
Altogether i highly recommend Alena if you plan to visit Kiev!
I arrived in Kyiv and was having medical condition and Alena went WAAAAAY beyond her job to assist me,She was an angel and helped as much as she could Alena helped me get my medication and was my translator for the doctors. She was extraordinary she went beyond what most people would do to help a stranger. Alena is truly a rare woman indeed I will stay there again!!
Did not get to Kiev - problems in UK.
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
Excellent service and pleasant apartment,
Alles sehr sauber und geflegt ! Super zeit verbracht ! Nette Vermieterin !!!! Danke und gerne wieder !
Eine saubere, schöne und zentral gelegene Wohnung. Gerne wieder,

Overthinking It
This Week In Catcher Framing, 4/5
This is the start of an experiment. I hope it will be a fun experiment, and maybe even an enlightening one.
I find catcher framing fascinating. Because I find it fascinating, I write about it often. And every time I do, I get a lot of questions and comments and clicks, which reinforces my writing-about-framing behavior. Sometimes I write about bad framers, like J.P. Arencibia or Jorge Posada. But mostly I write about Jose Molina. Molina is my muse.
Since this is the first installment of a weekly series on framing that will run for the rest of the season, let's start with some background. In September of 2011, Mike Fast wrote a piece for BP called "Removing the Mask." It wasn't the first framing research—a few months earlier, Max Marchi had built on even earlier work to produce a model whose results agreed closely with Mike's—but it represented the tipping point at which the importance of framing began to be referred to as fact, rather than something speculative. Mike's article included a list of the best framers from 2007-11, and at the top of that list—just as he'd been at the top of Max's—was Jose Molina. Mike's numbers suggested that over a full season (which he'd never been given a chance to play), Molina's framing alone would have been worth about four wins, well over a win more than the next-best framer (Jonathan Lucroy) and about two wins better than anyone else.
So that taught us two things: first, that framing was potentially very valuable, and second, that Jose Molina was by far the best at it. So much so, in fact, that he was very valuable himself, despite his bad bat.
The Rays signed Molina in November of 2011, and Max's first article for BP was about what the team could expect out of him: bad blocking,* average or slightly above-average fielding of batted balls, great control of the running game, and the best framing in baseball. In light of that and the low price tag, I called the Molina signing my favorite move of the offseason.
*It may be that Molina is a below-average blocker because he's not especially athletic, or because he's overweight. At 6'2", 250 lbs (listed), he has a 32.1 BMI, which technically makes him "obese." BMI can be misleading for some pro players, because it's based on typical body composition, while many elite athletes are mostly muscle. But I've seen Jose Molina shirtless, and "mostly muscle" is not how I would describe him.
I like to think that Molina's bad blocking is the price he pays for his framing. Maybe he knows it's more important to frame several extra strikes than to block one extra ball in the dirt, so he trades the quick reactions and mobility that would help him block balls for the solid base and understated movements that help him get calls.
If anything, Molina was better than advertised in 2012. He played in a career-high 102 games, and Max's model credited him with 50 runs saved. Joe Maddon mentioned that 50 runs figure in an interview, and I wrote about it and talked about it on Clubhouse Confidential and Effectively Wild. That basically brings us up to date.
Molina's framing doesn't make headlines—you won't see him earning an extra strike on SportsCenter's Top 10 Plays. But if you look, you'll sometimes see it lurking behind the headlines.
Last May, Brett Lawrie got ejected and suspended for throwing his helmet at an umpire after being called out on strikes. The ejection and suspension were the story. But why was Lawrie thrown out? Because he has a temper, of course, but also because Molina, who was behind the plate for the at-bat, had triggered that temper by turning two balls into strikes.
Last September, the Rays' pitching staff set the AL single-season strikeout record. Strikeout rates were up across the league, but no other team's was up by as much as Tampa Bay's. The staff was the story, but Molina made it possible (or at least had a great deal to do with it).
One more example. In an article at The Hardball Times today, James Gentile looked at the pitching leaders in single-season called strike percentage from 1988-2012, the years for which we have complete pitch-by-pitch info from Retrosheet. Mike Mussina's 2008 topped the list, at 25.0 percent—one out of every four pitches he threw that season was a called strike. He won 20 games for the first time in his career and walked away with the best final season of any pitcher who retired voluntarily.
That 2008 season was also the only one prior to 2012 in which Molina played 100 games. He caught all but 10 innings Mussina pitched. Mussina had great control and could get called strikes himself, but his called strike percentage that season, at age 39, was by far the best of his career. I'm going to say that that historic called strike rate wasn't a coincidence. Molina was the kind of personal catcher Tim Lincecum wishes Hector Sanchez were.
On a recent episode of the Baseball Tonight podcast, Buster Olney asked Molina when he started "becoming aware of framing pitches." Molina responded:
Olney asked if Mussina would say anything to Molina after the catcher earned him an extra strike. "After the year he had," Molina answered, "he told me, and he gave me a big hug." If Mussina gets into the Hall of Fame, it might be because of that final season, and it might be because of Molina. But Molina probably won't be mentioned in the induction speech.
According to Max's study of historical catcher defense, Molina's overall defensive contributions are the best, on a rate basis, of any catcher's going back to 1948. So we're not just watching someone who's good at an important aspect of the game; we're watching someone who's maybe the best ever at an important aspect of the game. And it's not Buster Posey, or Joe Mauer, or someone we would have thought was a star without ever finding out how much framing matters. It's Jose Molina, who we would have thought—for most of his career, did think—was a replacement-level player. Maybe catchers can be taught to frame like Molina, now that we know what it's worth. Molina himself might not have been so special before he began to focus on framing in 2008. But we should learn from him what we can, while we can.
So my goal with this series is to make Molina (and other notably good or bad framers) the story. Fifty runs sounds like an implausible amount when you hear about it at the end of a season. And maybe it is. But it might not sound so implausible if we watch it build up week by week and see some of those extra strikes as they happen.
Watching framing can be fun, and, where Molina's concerned, kind of calming and hypnotic. Other catchers stab, and dip, and shift, and hop. Molina, by comparison, barely budges, adjusting at the last possible second and trying to anticipate where a pitcher might miss. His glove glides, taking the most direct route possible from target to ball to strike zone, while the rest of him stays still. Study Sanchez's technique in Sam Miller's piece today: Molina's is the opposite of that. A bad framer's body seems to react to the ball, but Molina's, as much as possible, gives the impression that the ball is always right where he wants it to be.
It's subtle, but once you've become conditioned to see it, it's as aesthetically pleasing as anything else on the field. By the end of the season, I hope we'll have picked up on some patterns and gained a greater appreciation for framing, and what makes Molina good.
The plan is for this series to get much more sophisticated over time. In future installments, I hope to be able to tell you exactly what the likelihood of each called strike with Molina catching was, given the pitch type, location, count, umpire, etc., and update you weekly on how many runs his framing has saved the Rays. This is week one, so we're still working out the kinks, and there isn't much data to draw on. For now, we're just going to go with a combination of distance from the center of the zone and a rough strike probability model developed by Ryan Lind, culminating in an estimate of Molina's runs saved so far.
Although I'll be spending the most time on Molina, I'll also incorporate the week's best and worst frames by other catchers in each edition after this one. If you wanted to, you could think of this series as the best and worst umpire calls of the week. But while every good frame is in some sense a bad call, not every bad call corresponds to a good frame. I'd rather focus on the skill that contributes to a catcher earning an extra strike than the umpire mistake that makes it possible.
The Rays' season didn't start until Monday, so we're dealing with a small sample in this inaugural edition. (Subsequent articles will cover the seven days prior to publication.) Molina played in three games, only two of which he started and only one of which he finished. He caught 19 innings and 324 pitches. Of those 324 pitches, he caught 15 outside the strike zone that were called strikes, and 10 inside the strike zone that were called balls. So after 19 innings, his net contribution is five extra strikes—or, using the value of 0.13 runs per extra strike derived by Dan Turkenkopf and used by Mike Fast, a total of 0.65 runs. If we prorate that to the 709 2/3 innings that Molina caught last year, his tally comes to 25 runs.
Twenty-five runs isn't 50 runs—it's half as many!—but it's pretty darn good. Even if Molina really was worth 50 runs last season, we'd expect some regression this season, since that probably wasn't his true talent. Plus, we're dealing with a small sample, and a different determining method. These figures will probably change somewhat as we refine our technique and settle on a single methodology for the rest of the season.
Let's get to the GIFs. Framing is as much about not giving strikes away as it is about getting them, but not losing a strike doesn't make for much of a visual, so we'll focus on the extra strikes earned. Molina's best moments came in the seventh inning of Thursday's game against Baltimore, with Roberto Hernandez on the mound and Manny Machado at the plate. The 0-0 pitch was low and on the outside corner, and Molina caught (as Lucroy recommends) it without obviously dipping his head or the glove, keeping the target low and raising it slightly to get the strike:
"Ooh," said Orioles announcer Jim Palmer. "At the ankles." Machado appeared to agree.
"Jim Reynolds has been very, very consistent," Palmer continued. "That's probably one of the first pitches that he has blatantly missed. That ball was definitely low." He paused, then added, sarcastically, "But it's only a strike."
The next pitch was over the middle, but even lower:
"I don't think I'd be taking the next one if it's anywhere close," Palmer said. Machado was even more animated. The best reactions occur when batters get burned by Molina twice in the same at-bat. Five pitches later, Machado struck out swinging on a low changeup. If he'd been Brett Lawrie, Reynolds would have had a helmet wound.
Despite what Palmer said about Reynolds' strike zone, Hernandez had gotten a strike on a pitch to Chris Davis in the sixth that was lower than the first one to Machado:
And in the eighth, Molina got Davis on his farthest-outside frame of the week. Davis stood still after the call for a little longer than he had to:
Davis had a similar call go against him in the eighth inning on Wednesday:
The strike zone called against left-handed hitters is typically shifted juuuust a bit outside, so it's not just Molina who gets that kind of call. But Molina is better at getting the outside strike to lefties than anyone else, and he's also better at getting calls there than he is in any other area. According to Max's research, catchers differ in their ability to get calls in certain sections of the zone in a way that persists from year to year. The greatest range in framing skill between catchers comes on high and low pitches, not those on the corners.
This is the highest pitch Molina earned a strike on, with Fernando Rodney dealing 1-0 to Nolan Reimold on Wednesday:
Let's look at one more sequence, again against Davis, but this time on Tuesday. Here's the 2-1 pitch with one out in the sixth:
Outside again, and deftly tugged back toward Davis. "And a nice job by Molina, helping him with that pitch right there," said Rays color man Brian Anderson. "That's why the Rays love him back there," agreed broadcast partner Dewayne Staats.
And now the 2-2:
"A nice job by Molina in framing that pitch back towards the plate," added Anderson. "Go out there again. See how Molina angles himself toward the plate and then freezes that ball right there. Gives John Hirschbeck a good look at it."
Remember what I said about the reactions of twice-burned batters?
To look at all the calls that went against Davis, you'd never know that he'd gone 7-for-11 in the series with a walk, three home runs, and three doubles. The one strikeout must have been frustrating, but he'll probably pull through.
We'll be back with more Molina and the coming week's best and worst frames next Friday.

Can't believe you didn't mention my man Jason Castro.

So this is a pretty basic question that's been sticking with me since the original catcher framing article came out, but 25 runs or 50 runs is a lot. That's huge. Why did none of this come out in studies of catcher ERA? You'd think there would be some sort of inexplicable discrepancy in the numbers in earlier studies, right? Didn't Keith Woolner essentially conclude that there's no meaningful distinction between catchers in what they do behind the plate? Was the method just totally blind to what's being measured in catcher framing?
Apr 05, 2013 08:04 AM
This is an excellent question. I'm curious what Ben's opinion is on this.
Apr 05, 2013 08:13 AM
It actually has shown up in some studies of Catcher ERA, notably by Craig Wright and Sean Smith. See what Mike Fast wrote in "Removing the Mask" about Smith's article in The Hardball Times Baseball Annual 2011, "Do Catchers Have an ERA?" Wish I could link to Smith's article, but it's not online. His conclusion is that Keith's original study probably had some limitations in terms of the sample size and statistics considered that obscured the significance of the relationship.
Apr 05, 2013 08:16 AM
Keep this up. Need all the evidence we can muster to get electronic ball and strike aids, so that "tricking the umpire into making incorrect calls to the tune of 25-50 runs a year" is no longer a thing.
Apr 05, 2013 08:16 AM
On that episode of Effectively Wild I linked to, I'm pretty sure Sam and I talked about how much we would miss framing now if it went away. What would we write about?!
Apr 05, 2013 08:19 AM
Brock Dahlke
I agree with you Ben, I think getting rid of this "art" as I call it, would be a huge detriment to the game.
Apr 05, 2013 10:51 AM
Mitch Williams said on MLB Network that he didn't want his catchers (he mentioned Damon Barryhill and Darren Daulton) setting up on the corners, but rather right in the middle of the plate. He said that kept him from losing strikes off the edges. Any evidence about that one way or another?
Apr 05, 2013 08:29 AM
I've been wanting to look into that. I asked Sportvision if they'd share some COMMANDf/x data on initial glove position with me so I could do a study, but no joy on that. Might try to do it via video, but it would take time. I can try to incorporate it into this series at some point.
Apr 05, 2013 08:32 AM
In the last pitch in this article, setting up outside seemed to work well for Jose Molina when the umpire was set up on with the inside edge of the strike zone.
Apr 05, 2013 09:54 AM
Echoing jfribley's comment not only doesn't it seem to show up in CERA (which can be muddied by catcher differences in BABIP) but it doesn't *seem* to show up in the much purer stats, K% and BB%. At least certainly no where near the 50 runs saved level. Molina conveniently caught roughly 50% of plate appearances. Molina had a worse k rate (22.5% vs. 23.4%) than his counterparts but a better walk rate (7.1% vs. 8.6%). Need to compare pitchers but Molina did catch Price more than anyone. Hard to see from any RA estimator (FIP, SIERA, etc.) how that could be worth 50 runs, which, if he caught every inning, would prorate to nearly 100 runs!
Apr 05, 2013 08:58 AM
This feature alone is worth the price of my BP subscription. This is fascinating; even more so because of my Rays fandom.
Apr 05, 2013 10:02 AM
Eddie Bajek
Alex Avila's framing has also been worth watching so far. He got Anibal Sanchez and company a ton of strikes on Wednesday.
Apr 05, 2013 10:25 AM
I watch a ton of Tigers games and as a lifelong catcher I have always had mixed feelings about AA's framing. I think he does a solid job (numbers would stay better than that) even if he does not look conventional when he does it. I think it is because of his narrow base with no one on and less than two strikes. I do a ton of catching instruction and I have much more success with my catchers when I get them to "sit down" a la Yadi and Co.
Apr 05, 2013 15:12 PM
I'm sure that question could be answered, but I'm not sure I know the answer offhand. I'll see if Max has looked into that.
Apr 05, 2013 15:33 PM
Great article.

Fantastic article Ben. Looking forward to the next one already!
Apr 05, 2013 12:16 PM
Great series, but I think you need to watch what you're measuring. You said Molina gained 15 strikes, and lost 10, for a net +5. But that's not compared to an "average framer", that's compared to the *Umpire*. Maybe an average framer only gains 5 strikes, and loses 20, which is a net -15, making Molina +20 in one game. Maybe it's actually closer than that, but still, you need to distinguish between when you're comparing to other catchers, and when you're just looking at the one umpire.

Gomes, Luecke appear to win bullpen spots
SARASOTA, Fla. -- While nothing official has been announced, right-handers Brandon Gomes and Josh Lueke appear to be choices to claim the final two spots in the Rays' bullpen.
That means the Rays will start the season with Grant Balfour as the closer, Jake McGee, Joel Peralta, and Heath Bell in setup roles, Cesar Ramos as the long man, then Gomes and Lueke.
Juan Carlos Oviedo was expected to be in the mix, but the fact that he was late to camp due to visa issues coupled with the fact he hasn't pitched in a Major League game since September 2011, complicated matters.
Thus, Oviedo doesn't appear headed for the Opening Day roster, primarily due to the fact the Rays are concerned about rushing him and having him get re-injured. Oviedo missed all of 2012 and 2013 after Tommy John surgery to his right elbow.

WORTON & Cheverell remain rooted to the foot of Division Three following their 4-1 defeat at home to fifth-placed Pig & Whistle United.
However, despite it being their sixth loss in seven matches, Worton still have six matches remaining in which to climb out of the drop zone.
Two brilliantly-taken goals from Sean Meer put Pig & Whistle two up, before Jake Flower reduced the arrears for Worton in the first half.
Rob O'Harrow restored Worton's two-goal cushion with a superb header from Graham Griffith's pin point cross and it was left to super sub Ashley Fletcher to put the game out of reach of Worton when he made it 4-1.

NORTH Star B may have beaten opponents Crossblades FC 3-0 but had it not been for an inspired performance from the Blades keeper Ben McGoven the margin of defeat would have been even greater.
McGoven had a night to remember between the sticks as he produced save after save to keep his team in the game before and after he was eventually beaten by Mickey Taraskevics who gave Star a half-time lead.
North Star got a killer second goal and again it was Taraskevics who found the net before Adam Walsh killed of the Blades with the third goal of the night.
Old Road FC 3 Trowbridge Town Supporters Club 3
TROWBRIDGE Town Supporters Club were looking to end a six-match winless run at Old Road FC, but despite their best efforts as they overturned a 3-1 deficit they were unable to find a winner and had to settle for a share of the spoils as the teams fought out a 3-3 draw.
Dean Coles saw his first-half opener for the supporters' club cancelled out by Jamie Smith. The second half saw James House give Old Road the lead and when House scored his second of the night to give them a two-goal advantage the points looked as if they would be staying in Chippenham.
Dave Strickland began the supporters' club revival and Corey Overend was on hand get Kevin Williams side back on level terms before Old Road had Jake O'Keeffe sent off and House was denied a hat-trick by the lack of goal-line technology.
However come the final whistle a draw was probably a fair result.

THREE Swindon mountain climbers on a charity mission helped save the life of a woman who fell nearly 1,000ft down Ben Nevis on Saturday.
Climbing instructor Brian Hall, 32, and Robert Bronsdon, 26, were with friend Dan Thain, 27, in his charity challenge when to their horror they saw a woman fall and slide down the snow into rocks at 2pm.
The trio quickly rushed to her aid and started tending to the 38-year-old and called for help from mountain rescue.
Brian, who runs climbing company Rocky Ventures and works at the Ridge Climbing Wall, at the Link Centre, said: "She skimmed across the snow like a rock across water. As we were sliding down towards her we thought she was going to be dead.
"As bad as this incident was she was very lucky that she hit the rocks as she would have flown off the edge of a mountain into a waterfall hundreds of metres down if she hadn't."
The woman, known to them as Fiona, suffered head injuries and a suspected broken pelvis. She was airlifted from the scene by Lochaber Mountain Rescue about an hour later, being taken to the nearby Belford Hospital, where she is still being treated.
The men took the woman's shocked husband and friend down the mountain. Dan, who has ankylosing spondylitis, which is a condition that affects the joints, called off the climb – part of the Three Peaks Challenge which he was doing to raise money for National Ankylosing Spondylitis Society.
Dan, who lives in North Swindon and has already cycled 501 miles in aid of the charity, said: "The woman was in a bad way and we just reacted and did all we could to help. On reflection you realise just how scary it all was but that is not something that you think about at the time."
The men are in touch with the woman's husband and plan to keep in touch with them. She was taking on Ben Nevis as part of a charity challenge and the men are considering joining forces with her to take on the mountain again once she's recovered.
An email sent to Brian yesterday from Fiona's husband Kenny read: "She is getting a blood transfusion just now with another due tomorrow. She looks a bit better, and is talking away although very sore and struggling to walk due to pain. Looking to end of week to get out of hospital."
Brian said that during the climb the men were surprised by how many people they encountered who didn't have correct kit or enough supplies.
He said: "The woman was lucky it happened near us. We had a first aid kit and helped as much as we could with the casualty, her family and the rescue team.
"This was a very unpleasant situation but I was delighted with everything me, Dan and Rob did."

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - One finalist for Florida education commissioner conceded Tuesday that he can be caustic at times while another said he resigned as Illinois' top school official because of the political climate under a governor who later went to prison.
The remaining finalist acknowledged the federal No Child Left Behind Act that he helped draft and promote as a congressional staffer and U.S. Department of Education official was a compromise that needs to be revised.
The State Board of Education interviewed all three candidates in Tampa, where the panel is scheduled to make a decision Wednesday.
The finalists are outgoing Indiana School Superintendent Tony Bennett, Murray State University President Randy Dunn, who previously had been superintendent in Illinois, and Arlington, Va., consultant Charles Hokanson, who had been a deputy assistant U.S. secretary of education in President George W. Bush's administration.
Bennett, a Republican who lost a bid for re-election last month, said if he has a fault it is being passionate, focused and looking to the end result as the only thing that matters when he was asked about his strengths and weaknesses.
"I do forget that the interpersonal touch, the human touch is so vitally important," Bennett said. "And I would tell you that probably some of my sharpest critics would tell you that sometimes I come off a little impersonal, that I can be a little caustic, and that's not because I'm a mean spirited person."
Bennett said his strong suit is carrying out polices that are best for children. In Indiana those were similar to many that fellow Republicans, starting with former Gov. Jeb Bush, have instituted in Florida such as school grading and accountability and teacher evaluation programs.
Dunn said he took a sabbatical from his position as chairman of the Department of Educational Administration and Higher Education at Southern Illinois University to serve as superintendent on an interim basis. He said he found that job so rewarding that he agreed to stay on permanently but resigned in 2006 to accept the presidency at Murray State in neighboring Kentucky.
"One of the things that was particularly challenging in Illinois at the time was the political climate," Dunn said. "It was not a good environment politically to be working in."
Dunn was referring to former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich, who years later was removed from office and imprisoned on multiple corruption charges including trying to sell President Barack Obama's vacated Senate seat.
Hokanson, a lawyer and policy specialist rather than educator, worked on No Child Left Behind while a staffer for now-House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio.
"There are amazing strengths to that piece of legislation," Hokanson said. "It was the first time that the federal government was able to really put in some levels of accountability for the billions of federal dollars that they had been spending for decades and not seeing results."
Hokanson, however, blamed Congress and Obama for failing to make needed changes in the law that is well past its planned renewal date.
Bennett and Dunn both stressed that they see the commissioner's role as implementing rather than setting policy, which they said is the job of the board, Legislature and Gov. Rick Scott.
In Tallahassee, Scott said he wants a commissioner who would carry out his agenda including adequate funding, accountability, treating teachers right and not teaching to standardized tests.
"I want someone who I can work with who believes in what I'm doing," Scott said.
The new commissioner will replace Gerard Robinson who resigned in August after only about a year on the job. He cited separation from his family in Virginia where he previously had been secretary of education.

Click here for the 2013 field hockey schedule!
PHILADELPHIA – The University of Pennsylvania's head coach of field hockey, Colleen Fink, has announced her program's 2013 schedule. The Quakers will play 17 games, nine of them on the brand-new Ellen Vagelos C'90 Field, a new Astroturf stadium that will be the home of the Penn field hockey program.
"The 2013 season opens with a scrimmage against 2012 Division II national champion West Chester and closes with Division I national champion Princeton," said Coach Fink, who enters her fourth year at Penn. "While our Ivy games are always on the forefront of our mind, our non-conference schedule brings in a lot of strong local programs in Bucknell, Lafayette, Rider, SJU, Villanova, La Salle and Lehigh.
"There is immense excitement surrounding our new, Astroturf field hockey facility, and we are thrilled to be hosting all of our home contests this year on the brand-new Ellen Vagelos C'90 Field."
Penn will open its season with three road games, starting Friday, Sept. 6 at Lehigh and continuing the next weekend with a Friday game at Saint Joseph's and a Sunday game at Bucknell.
The first game on the new Vagelos Field will take place Saturday, Sept. 21, an Ivy League game against Cornell. The following day, Penn will host the University of the Pacific on Vagelos Field, and then that Wednesday the Quakers will host city rival La Salle.
Penn gets back into Ivy League play on Saturday, Sept. 28 at Harvard, before coming back home for consecutive games against 2012 NCAA Championship participant Lafayette (Wednesday, Oct. 2) and Ivy foe Dartmouth (Sunday, Oct. 6). The Quakers then hit the road for three straight games, sandwiching games at Rider (Wednesday, Oct. 9) and Columbia (Friday, Oct. 18) around a neutral-site contest with UMass-Lowell in New Haven, Conn. (Sunday, Oct. 13).
Penn plays four of its last five games at Vagelos Field, starting Sunday, Oct. 20 with Appalachian State and continuing with Ivy foe Yale (Saturday, Oct. 26) and city rival Villanova (Wednesday, Oct. 30). After a final road trip to Brown (Saturday, Nov. 2), the Quakers close out the regular season with Ivy rival and defending NCAA champion Princeton (Saturday, Nov. 9).
Penn returns 12 of its 15 letterwinners from last year's squad, which had the program's best overall record since 2006 and its best Ivy League mark since 2008. The Quakers also tied a program record last year with 42 goals; all but one player who scored a goal last year returns in 2013.

Musings from a Jazz Drummer
Below is a blog entry by jazz drummer, Ron Free, also known as Ronnie Free back in the loft days. According to Jazz Loft Project (JLP) Director and co-curator of the exhibition at MOPA, Sam Stephenson, Ron is the most ubiquitous presence on W. Eugene Smith's tapes from the loft, with Ron documented on roughly three hundred hours of late night jam sessions. In Sam's JLP book there is a section devoted to Ron, one of the few musicians with his own section in the book. Ron's blog entry tells of his days driving a taxi in San Diego after his New York jazz years were over.
In the mid seventies, due to a series of serendipitous events, I found myself driving a cab in San Diego. And because San Diego is such a beautiful city with such a beautiful year-round climate, driving a cab there turned out to be my all-time favorite "day gig." I loved the adventure of never knowing where that next fare would take me. It might be La Jolla, Seaworld, Tijuana, or someplace more mundane such as the Elks Club in Hillcrest.
In fact,one night a call came in from the Elks Club which turned out to be not so mundane after all. The fare was the club's bartender, a gentleman named Jim Warren. We struck up a conversation in which it came out that Jim was big jazz buff. Long story short -- when I told him that I used to be a jazz drummer and had played with a lot of the names he mentioned--Mary Lou Williams, Zoot Sims, Bill Evans and others -- he got all excited about discovering me driving a cab, especially when he got home and found my name on a few recordings in his collection.
When I first met Jim I hadn't played or even listened to jazz in many years. I left NYC in 1960 to return to my hometown of Charleston S.C. I had to change my environment completely in order to kick a serious drug habit. I didn't think I'd ever be able to play sober. After about five years of clinical depression, marriage, divorce and dozens of bizarre day gigs, I decided to head to the west coast for the first time. And San Diego proved to be the perfect place to add the finishing touches to my recovery (not that it's ever really finished).
Back to Jim, who insisted on taking me around to various clubs and introducing me to a few of his musician friends. One of them was the excellent tenor man Joe Marillo. When Joe invited me to sit in with his quartet I was terrified. After ten or twelve years of not playing or listening to jazz, I didn't know if my stuff was still relevant or gone the way of the dinosaur.
I must have done okay because I started getting calls for gigs and went on to play with many of San Diego's finest: Charles Mcpherson, Mike Wofford, Peter Sprague, Hollis Gentry etc. At one point I was virtually the house drummer at a LaJolla club called the Blue Parrot where I gigged with many headliners from LA such as Don Menza, Jack Sheldon and Ross Tompkins. I even reunited with my old friend Mose Allison after a hiatus of 35 or 40 years.
I now live in Hot Springs Virginia--still gigging and recording--and now that Sam Stephenson's excellent book The Jazz Loft Project has been published I've become something of a legend in my own mind. And San Diego will always hold a special place in my heart.
Today Ron Free is one of the house drummers at the Homestead resort in the mountains of Virginia. He also plays jazz gigs in the region with his trio. Read more of his story in Sam Stephenson's piece, "What Happened to Ronnie Free?" that was originally published in the Oxford American's 2001 music issue.

Tobacco control economics
Tobacco use is the leading preventable cause of death. Each year, it kills more than 5 million people. It is on track to kill more than 8 million by 2030, by which time approximately 80% of the deaths would occur in low- and middle-income countries.
The costs of tobacco use are measured in its enormous toll of disease, suffering and family distress. Economies also suffer from increased health-care costs and decreased productivity.
Today, we have a greater understanding of how to reduce the economic and health costs of this deadly epidemic. Such demand reduction policies as higher taxes and comprehensive bans on tobacco marketing and smoking in public places are among the principal cost-effective means to reduce tobacco use and its consequent harms to health and economic development.
"Health, and not economic arguments, are the reason for controlling tobacco, but economic arguments are raised as an obstacle to tobacco control policies," said former WHO Director-General Dr Gro Harlem Brundtland. Indeed, governments have raised concerns that tobacco control measures would have negative economic consequences, specifically by way of: (i) lower tax revenues via reduced demand and increased illicit activities; (ii) decreasing employment in the manufacturing, farming and retail sectors; and (iii) impoverishing smokers with higher prices. Existing evidence from developed countries and emerging data from developing countries show that the economic fears deterring policymakers from taking action are largely unfounded (World Bank, 1999). Despite those fears, approximately 170 countries have shown strong commitment to tobacco control by becoming Parties to the WHO Framework Convention for Tobacco Control and implementing its provisions.

HowTo:Talk to Foreigners
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
This is a useful skill for all English speakers travelling abroad. The important thing to remember is that all people who live in non-English speaking countries are idiots, which is why they don't speak English.
| HowTo
This article is part of Uncyclopedia's HowTo series.
See more HowTos
edit Three Key Concepts
edit Speak Loudly and Slowly
Clearly, if they don't understand you when you speak at a normal volume and pace, raising your voice and slowing down your speech will elucidate your meaning. Remember, you need to shout. Not doing so might confuse the foreign conversant. The addition of inarticulate gestures is also helpful. In short, just pretend that you're William Shatner.
edit Disregard all Rules of Grammar
Omit infinitives, prepositions, conjunctions, adjectives, and adverbs from your speech and stick to simple constructions that use only nouns and verbs. Too many words will confuse the tiny foreign brain. If talking about yourself, remember to say "me" instead of "I."
edit Babytalk
Make sure to pronounce the words that remain as if you were speaking to an infant. This is particularly effective when speaking to Chinese people,also pronounce words at least twice if they are quite hard.
edit Additional
Even English itself can sound like a foreign language.
edit For Americans in England
Remember that a posh British accent is nine tenths affectation. To affect it properly, pretend you have a ten pound weight attached to your lower lip and a turd under your nose. Alternately, pretend to be flamingly homosexual. It's good to affix "eah" to the end of every appropriate word, as in: "Weah met Ladyeah Welles, and sheah greeted us most cordialleah, and then weah all had teah." Talk about how much you enjoy your tea, how great the metric system is, and how much you love the Queen. Note: it is not wise to do this in Scotland.
edit For the English in Ameriker
That's right: Ameriker. The key to sounding like a real American is mimicking the protagonist in all your favorite Western films. Make frequent use of words like "ain't" and "durnit." Remember that Americans call "trousers", "pants", and "pants", "underwear" providing you with many an opportunity to make juvenile jokes (i.e., "I can see your pants!"). Important topics of discussion include baseball, animal husbandry, how much you love/hate the President, and Baywatch.

HOUSTON - Video obtained by Local 2 Investigates shows two teenagers smuggling drugs and people into Texas, investigators say.
The video was shot by a 16-year-old boy. Investigators in Brooks County said they discovered the video on the teen's iPhone after he and 14 other illegal immigrants were arrested following a high speed chase.
The men in the video are smiling and heard listening to upbeat music as they navigate several back roads and highways in south Texas.
"It's contemptible," said Jackson County Sheriff AJ Louderback after viewing the video. "It's just the attitude."
One clip recorded by the teenager shows a group of people trudging through dense underbrush after crossing the border into Texas. Another clip shows the same teenager mugging for camera as at least seven people are crammed into the back of a pick-up truck.
The people in the back are seen with their eyes closed and heads hanging down.
Investigator Daniel Davila said he suspects the people were drugged to make them more docile for the trip.
An eighth person, a woman, is seen sitting between the teen and the driver of the pick-up. The pair smile and point at the woman, whose eyes are closed and as her heads lolls from side to side before she eventually slips to the floorboard without waking.
Another video clip found on the teen's phone shows a large load of what appears to be bundles of drugs packed into the back of a different SUV that was equipped with a navigation system, investigators said. A shotgun is seen resting next to the teen's legs in the front seat.
On several of the clips, the men are seen using mainly back roads in rural communities to move the people and drugs. However, one clip showed the vehicle traveling along I-45 as it passed over Caney Creek in Montgomery County.
The video shows another pick-up truck traveling in front of the group. Investigators said they suspect the man driving the truck was either a scout or a decoy meant to run interference in case the group came across police officers.
"That could be a road in Jackson County," said Louderback, referring to the video. "We all have the back roads, we all have the side roads."
Louderback said this video highlights a problem rural counties south of Houston have been dealing with for years. Smugglers have long used rural roads to avoid law enforcement scrutiny on major highways, he said.
According to Louderback, smugglers also traverse rural counties because of the lack of law enforcement manpower.
"Not a matter of if, it's a matter of when for us," said Louderback.
According to Davila, the 16-year-old in the video was eventually deported to Mexico. Davila said the teenager did not provide much information to investigators regarding the men he recorded.
Davila said the other men in the video were never found, neither were any of the people seen crammed into the truck. However, the video evidence was handed over to federal agents who are pursuing several leads based on the footage, Davila said.
Police: Smuggler uses stolen law enforcement license plate
While working on the story, Local 2 Investigates uncovered a separate incident of a suspected smuggler using a law enforcement license plate stolen from the Houston area.
Officers in Falfurrias, also in Brooks County, said they spotted an all black SUV that was made to look like some type of undercover police task force vehicle.
Assistant Police Chief Albert Gonzalez said the driver even turned on red and blue flashing lights when he noticed officers following the vehicle.
Gonzalez said his officers became suspicious of the SUV when they noticed its lettering and rims that had been spray painted black. Gonzalez said his officers attempted to pull the driver over, but he sped off.
After a brief chase, the driver and several other occupants "bailed out" and ran into the woods, Gonzalez said. No one was arrested.
Officers ran a check of the license plate and discovered it belonged to a Precinct 6 deputy constable's patrol car, Gonzalez said.
Precinct 6 officials said they noticed the plate was missing at the end of January but did not realize it had been found in Falfurrias until they received a call from Local 2. Houston police said they are now investigating the circumstances around the theft of the license plate.

A CHARITY race night is being held in March to help raise money for a young boy who needs a life-altering operation.
Luca Railton, aged 10, was born with Bilateral Tibial Hemimelia, meaning he has no tibia and no knee in his right leg, while his left leg only has a partial tibia.
Friends, family and locals have rallied round to help raise money so the Prior Park pupil can have a vital operation to fix the problem. They need to raise £135,000 as soon as possible as the operation is due to take place at the end of March in Florida, USA.
So far more than £54,000 has been collected and details of the next big fundraising event have been announced.
On March 1, a special race night is being held to raise money for Luca at the Steam Museum and anyone who wants a night of fun backing horses in races shown on screen, is being invited to come along.
Tickets are £40 each but will guarantee an evening of entertainment with food provided, live music as well as a promise auction.
"It's the last big event we are holding before the operation so it is one big final push," said Luca's mum, Teresa. "It's going to be a fun evening and we hope as many people come along as possible. There are 450 tickets available and 300 have already been sold so people need to get in quickly."
For the last ten years his parents have managed to stave off the diagnosis that recommended amputation after he was born. Since then Luca has endured more than 60 hours in surgery as surgeons have worked to lengthen and straighten his legs as he has grown.
Once in America, Luca will need two procedures and then will need to remain overseas for up to eight months, depending on how long his recovery takes.
Teresa said: "We are in the process of making sure everything is already for when we go overseas. Once the race night is done we well be able to work out exactly how much we have."
The race night,will start at 7pm on March 1. Tickets can be purchased by contacting firstname.lastname@example.com

LARGO, Fla. — An 82-year-old St. Petersburg man got prison time after pleading guilty to lewd or lascivious molestation of a 7-year-old girl.
Pasco-Pinellas Circuit Judge Nancy Moate Ley sentenced Robert Frederick Hall to eight years in prison on Tuesday, with credits earned for the eight months he's spent in jail. He was also labeled a sexual predator.
reports Hall admitted to fondling the girl while she sat on his lap watching television in 2012. The girl "pinky-promised" Hall she wouldn't tell, but eventually she told her parents.
The newspaper reports Hall was arrested on a sexual battery charge in 1980. And there was a reference during Tuesday's hearing to a "Williams rule hearing," which is a procedure used when authorities believe there may be more victims.

You may have noticed that your favorite Adobe Blogs are now sporting a new look and this is because we have finally migrated over to the popular blogging platform, WordPress.
With a strong ecosystem around WordPress, this is exciting news because there are so many more themes, widgets, plug-ins and overall community support available.
The more I learn about WordPress, the more I like it, and the more I want to tweak the various settings for a personalized experience. Since Adobe migrated my Blog, I have done quite a bit of research on WordPress, asked questions on Twitter, and watched quite a few video tutorials on YouTube.
One thing has become quite clear in all of this, namely, if I want total control of my Blog (i.e. super-admin rights), I really needed to host my WordPress Blog on my own domain and thus I have decided to launch: http://rjacquez.com.
The move has been exciting and no doubt a learning experience, but one I highly recommend if you are serious about Blogging, and frankly you should be. And although I didn't take copious notes of the entire process, I have posted an at-a-glance list of what it took me to launch this WordPress Blog on my own domain.
I hope you follow me along as I continue to share my experiences as an Adobe Product Evangelist.

ATI's Multi-GPU Solution: CrossFireby Anand Lal Shimpi & Derek Wilson on 5/30/2005 9:00 PM EST

Panndor - Monday, June 13, 2005 - linkLets hope that this endevor by ATI doesn't end up in the same situation at the RAGE Fury Maxx they came up with. The last time they tried this they screwed it up and then cut support for the card like it never existed.
Looks promising, but I could see problems if they allow different hardware to run in a combined mode as well.
Competition is good so maybe this will bring down the price of the boards and the cards now. Reply
vision33r - Wednesday, June 01, 2005 - linkThose 2 X850XT PE cards add up to $1000+ alone while price of 6800U are going down.
I think the biggest prob is not if this works or not, is if the mainboard performance is sacrificed due to the ATI north-bridge. I don't gave 90% of the time on my system, I can't sacrifice losing system performance for gaming perf. Reply
xsilver - Wednesday, June 01, 2005 - linkwhat's funny is that a few months after the xfire is released, nvidia will probably announce SLI v2.0 and then everyone will talk about how that's so cool Reply
Wesley Fink - Wednesday, June 01, 2005 - link#49 & #50 - The Uli 1573 we've seen paired with Crossfire DOES suport NCQ. this was confirmed this afternoon with engineers here at Computex. The upcoming ULI 1575 southtridge supports both Sata 2 and NCQ.
We also saw demos of Splinter Cell on Crossfire with the 2.0 Shader. The demos were at 1280x1024 with all eye candy enabled. Frame rates in the various demos were 118 to 120. Since we did not have reference benches for Splinter Cell, it didn't make much sense to publish these results in the launch article. What we have seen is very promising, but we need more "hands-on" benchmarking before we can say much more.
Wesley Fink Reply
mkruer - Wednesday, June 01, 2005 - link#51 That is the real question to be answered. My guess is that ATI will work on a SLI board and visa versa unless there is something specifically in hard coded that prevents the second slot from being used by anything other the chipsets manufactures video card, which is highly unlikely.

Eug - Tuesday, May 31, 2005 - linkCrossfire? Meh. About 0.1% of the population will buy dual GPU setups. Crossfire is essentially just a marketecture exercise.
The really interesting part is the H.264 acceleration, which will have much, much more impact for the general computing world than Crossfire. Reply
nitromullet - Tuesday, May 31, 2005 - linkInteresting... They gave AT stock photos of a Intel based motherboard, but the benchmarking was done on an AMD rig. Anyone know if the chipset(s) support Athlon X2 and/or Pentium D?
To the person that mentioned that Doom3 is not a good benchmark for ATi: My guess is that Doom3 is probably a good benchmark to use for this purpose. ATi is most assuredly GPU bound in Doom3, so any increase in GPU power will yield a positive result. Whereas in HL2 where ATi has really strong single performance, I would imgaine that the Crossfire rig is CPU lmited, so there is not as drastic of an increase.
Either way, Crossfire looks to be pretty interesting. Can't wait to see some in depth benches and some screenies of the super AA modes.
A request to AT: how about some benches in standard and widescreen resolutions. I know that SLI had compatibility issues with widescreen in the past, and it would be nice to know if those are still around and/or if Crossfire also suffers from this.
Nice article, especially with the limitation of not being able to run a full suite of benchmarks. Reply
jiulemoigt - Tuesday, May 31, 2005 - linkSo what about the fact the new mode does not work in OpenGL? I happened to love playing with directX api but knowing that half the engines will not be able to use the new filtering? I like the idea of the new chip they are putting on the board, I'm disguested most of the ATI stuff is marketing not hardware I have to develope for the hardware in peoples machines and the baises that people have toward tech and i'm getting sick of finding a new way of doing something not being able to use it because it only works on nvidia and ati bashes till they sorta get it working then they claim it's the best thing since sliced bread. Lets try and force nvidia and ati marking people to focus on what is there not what there side has. Reply
DerekWilson - Tuesday, May 31, 2005 - linkI suppose we should add a disclaimer to the statement about Super AA working with everything ...
From what we *hear* from ATI, all games will work with CrossFire. This means that all games will work with at least one of the performance or quality modes. Even if a game doesn't work under AFR, split, or supertiling, it should work with Super AA ...
But we will have to test compatibility for ourselves.

porkster - Tuesday, May 31, 2005 - linkI can't see why they can't just use one PCIe card with a extra socket. Wheny ou ened to upgrade for more power then you buy just the chip and put the extra GPU chip in the socket to make a dual graphics card.
SLI is a waste of time in that it's a direction in motherboard layout that isn't going to last, it's a dead end road for the future. So rather than was all the time developing cards that work in tandom, make the card to work with more GPU chip ont he same daughter board.

AdamK47 3DS - Tuesday, May 31, 2005 - link"all games will be accelerated under any Super AA mode"
I hope Anandtech isn't pulling my leg here. I'd love to see Halo PC or Splinter Cell using AA. Currently no form of multisampling allows AA in these games. There are probably more games out there that have the same multisampling limitation, but these are the two I know of. Reply
matthieuusa - Tuesday, May 31, 2005 - linkAnd should I had that investors seems to feel like ATI is taking its place back. NVDIA stocks already dropped 59 cents witht the announcement of ATI crossfire and R520 playback display...
#37: totally agree, it is going to be a nice fight! If R520 is overall better than the G70, NVDIA will have to worry and counter it as fast as they can (which is going to be great for us).
matthieuusa - Tuesday, May 31, 2005 - linkI agree with #35. It is a little early to know which solution will be considered the best, even if it seems that ATI is bringing sone very interesting features along with their Crossfire. Not everybody care about playing Doom3 at 110 fps. I rather play at 80fps and have all the eye candies, and even more, since they are going to propose heavier FSAA.
Since SLI and Crossfire will probably come to be close, it is going to see which one of the r520 and g70 will be the fastest with the most interesting features. But if ATI did as good with the R520 as they seem to have done with the Crossfire, they could take back the crown.
NVIDIA seems in hurry to put the G70 on the shelves, which seems kind of suspect, since there is are no real reasons to do so. They acually do have the most popular cards and the fastest configuration with SLI.
Did they heard about ATI R520 specs and fear to be at a disadvantage? Do they need two G70 to beat it?
Wait and See
#36 2PCI-E 8X -> that is exactly what SLI is right now with NVDIA.
Compositing Engine chip -> Do you remember the discussion about the PCI-E bridge implemented on GeForce 6 cards? Experience has shown no performance drop. Instead, in ATI's "SLI" solution, it seems even better since it is not part of the die -> less heat... It is not new to them, since there are using it in professionnals products
kyaku00x - Tuesday, May 31, 2005 - linkI think the next chipset king will be the one producing the best next-gen graphics cards. if NV70 is better performing than r520 then I wouldn't think that people are going to care about going ATI in the mobo department, but if r520>nv70, then nvidia may start losing the chipset market.
this will be real interesting to watch, the first chipset war determined by graphics cards :P Reply
yacoub - Tuesday, May 31, 2005 - linkIs it just me or do several things about this scream "bottleneck" and "latency"? The 2PCI-E x8 slots instead of x16 slots. The extra Compositing Engine chip. The ability to pair different cards such that it will drop clock speeds and/or pipelines to sync them up. The lack of direct chip-to-chip interconnect.
I'm curious to know just how much performance gain is realized if you pair, say, an X800XL and an X850-something, over just the X850-something. And also how much bottleneck and latency there is in this implementation over the NVidia offering of SLI.
The only upside I can see is cost/upgrade since a user can own an X800-based card (assuming they have a Crossfire compatible motherboard) and go out and buy an X850-based card later and use BOTH cards together (assuming they are both Crossfire-capable cards). Then again with those assumptions I'm not sure it's truly any more cost-effective. =\ Reply
LoneWolf15 - Tuesday, May 31, 2005 - linkAs usual, the fanboys of both sides come to the show to spout their comments.
For everyone saying "Man, you have to buy a Crossfire that matches your card, and throw it away when you upgrade"...umm, don't you have to buy two of the exact same matching card for running nVidia SLI, and if you wish to upgrade, you have to sell both? Doesn't sound that different to me. One thing I think a lot of current ATI owners will be happy about is that they won't have to get rid of a card they already own and buy two of a new one; they can just buy a single Crossfire card (and of course a mainboard).
On the other hand, to those thinking ATI has now "0wned" nVidia, it is WAY too early to tell. The solution looks promising, but if you have to sacrifice mainboard performance (i.e., SATA hard disks, memory bandwidth, etc.) it may be a hard sell. Benchmarks in Doom 3 are also not the end-all be-all. We'll have to wait for a more comprehensive performance review, including DirectX benches, and performance/quality with older games using this new AA method, as well as game compatibility reports. We'll also need to know what TRUE pricing is (we've seen claimed pricing vary quite a bit from what it has turned out to be at product release in the past two years).
Do I hope it will beat nVidia's solution? You bet. I like ATI, but even more I like competition that drives the industry. Do we proclaim ATI the winner/loser on this one? Heck no, it isn't even a purchaseable product yet. Reply

JarredWalton - Tuesday, May 31, 2005 - link30 - Yes. The PCIe bus likely provides slower performance, as it is used for lots of other things (like communication between the CPU, RAM, and GPUs). I believe NVIDIA SLI works without the dongle but at slower speeds - at least, I heard that somewhere, but I haven't ever had an SLI board so I can't say for sure. Anyway, since DVI is a digital signle, using DVI in/out seems about as good as the SLI bridge - at least in theory. Now we just need to wait and see how theories pan out. :) Reply
Jalf - Tuesday, May 31, 2005 - linkI was under the impression they were going to use the PCI-E bus for transferring data between the cards. Is the external dongle going to handle that instead? Reply
Murst - Tuesday, May 31, 2005 - linkI really don't see how the xfire is better than sli based on hardware compatibility. Sure, you don't need the exact same cards, but you will likely buy only one x850 type card per x850 xfire. It would be extremely unlikely that someone upgrades from x850 xt pro -> x850 xt pe.
Basically, in the end, you will buy a specific xfire tailored to your gfx card, and throw it away with the next generation of cards. Reply

ViRGE - Tuesday, May 31, 2005 - link#21, yes it is. This is what hurts ATI the most, Nvidia already had 4 release cycles of experience with motherboards(2 of those being highly popular, highly recommended boards) before attempting SLI. ATI has a previous launch for a board almost universally ignored. I would not use an ATI board at this time, so I would also not consider CrossFire. ATI needs to get CrossFire working on Nvidia's boards to have a fighting chance this round. Reply
Calin - Tuesday, May 31, 2005 - link"ATI should be focused on the overall platform, not necessarily building up support for their South Bridge. Although we do think it is a bit embarrassing to have to turn to another chipset vendor to provide working South Bridges for your motherboard partners. It would be one thing if this were ATI's first chipset, but it most definitely is not. "
AMD first chipset (AMD 760 for Slot A Athlon, or Irongate, I think) had also non working USB support (or very buggy). Most mainboard manufacturers offered USB thru an add in PCI card, in order not to use the one included in the southbridge Reply

In an interview for the journalNature, vol. 457, p967, 19 Feb 2009 David Attenborough was asked: "Why is teaching evolution now more important than ever?"
Attenborough's reply:
"Because of the influence of the Bible's book of Genesis, which says the Lord God said 'go forth and multiply' to Adam and Eve and 'the natural world is there for you to dominate, you have dominion of the animals and plants of the world'. That basic notion - that the world is there for us, and if it doesn't serve our purposes it's dispensable - has produced the devastation of vast areas. We have assumed that we can build a house on it, dig it up, put tarmac over it; that's OK because it's there for us. In finding solutions to our ecological problems we have to understand evolutionary processes."
Editorial Comment: Have you noticed that Sir David never mentions Genesis 3, which reminds us that any and all abuse of anything is due to mankind's rebellion against the Creator and His rules. Our prediction: evolution will never find a solution to the tendency of man to destroy the planet, to man's propensity for greed which is destroying the world economy, or to the lust for power which spurs politicians on to use climate to gain world power. Only when you deal with man's rebellion against the Creator, which has made us all sinners who need a Saviour, will you get anywhere close to a solution for any of these problems.

I would like macro for 2 trinkets, normal alliance pvp trinket and 5.1 pandaria pvp trinket. This macro would use and show tooltip for one that is equipped (there is only 1 equipped at time).
I'm sure this has been asked and answered but i have been through fifty pages of forums and need to get to sleep before the sun comes up. My Appologies.
Two Questions:
1. ) I just started playing disc again and it seems that most of my macros still work with minimal changes, however my penance macro only works on mouse-over, the @target and @player do not work at all. a) do i need to crate separate statements for both harm and help for @target? b) why does the @player not work (i'm assuming it has something to do with the harm/help thing again? somehow? idekmybffjill? lolwtfbbq?)?
here's my current macro:
/cast [target=mouseover,nodead][target=target,exists,nodead][target=player] Penance;
The @ player didn't work in cata either but i learned to live with it, I would love to find a way to make it work for either friendly or unfriendly targets without a modifier or a second keybind if possible.
2. ) What is the best way to make a macro for Black Arrow @Elegon without having to drop my focus, or somehow be able to get my original focus back without serious hassle. does that make sense?
i'm 95% sure you can't just do a fancy version of: /cast [@elegon] black arrow
and i need to keep my focus so i can MD the adds that spawn to a kiter. Is this possible?
Thank you in advance, you guys are great!
Ask yourself a question: 'How have I made the world a better place today?'.
If your answer isn't legitimate, or meaningful: TRY HARDER - YOU ARE FAILING AT RL!
You are the product of 200 million years of evolution. Act Like It!
/use 13 or 14 depending on which trinket slot.
I'm not sure if nodead implies exists, but if it does not you could try changing your first macro to:
/cast [@mouseover,exists,nodead][@target,exists,nodead][@player] Penance
Maybe boss1 is an accepted condition? I know it works in Weakauras. In that case:
/use [@boss1] Black Arrow

About the mouseover, what Panacia suggested in the 2nd post was what I was thinking about. IF nodead wouldn't imply exists, then his addition [@mouseover,exists,nodead] should make the macro work (i.e. jump to the 2nd and 3rd condition if you have no mouseover).
Also, @target is redundant.
So please try this macro and tell us if it still doesn't work:
Code:#showtooltip /cast [@mouseover,exists,nodead][exists,nodead][@player] Penance
No point mentioning these bats, I thought. The poor bastard will see them soon enough.
The raid frames that i am using for a year now,since patch have some sort of delay i wanted to test the default raid frames once again.
But they don't show some stuff i would want them to show.
Picked up a script from Kollektivs stream.It's showing water shield on default raid frame as a shaman,while as priest inner fire inner will.
Code:/script function CompactUnitFrame_UtilShouldDisplayBuff(a,b,c)local _,_,_,_,_,d,_,e,_,f,_,g=UnitBuff(a,b,c)if UnitAffectingCombat("player") then return (e=="player" or e=="pet") and not f and d > 0 and g; else return g end end
Is there a way to use a similar script for my Divine Aegis in order to apear on raid frames?

Just noticed a difference between those two macros - the party assist one got no space between [mod:shift], but the HoJ on arena got it ( [mod: shift] ). I did not try the HoJ macro, as a simple focus on does the trick for me, will be helpfull for those matches I play with Repentance though
Is that the problem here? That the party assist one got that minor problem with no space between mod and shift?
Oh and one more thing:
Is it possible to make a macro that tells in /party or /say when my rebuke succesfully interrupt a spell, and make it so it tells wich spell and target it interrupted? And that dosnt get spammed, as I smash my buttons quite some times in GCD :P
Like: /p Vindex interrupted Divine Light on Omgzpals with Rebuke.

You can actually use shift + numpad keys on the naga, but you just need to bind your spells to end/pagedown/pageup/home/arrow key up/down/left/right, only one you can't bind that way is numpad 5.
Edit, nevermind, I'm just being an idiot, didn't properly read the context of the question, yea it doesn't work with [mod] macros.

I am using a razer naga with BT4... What i want to do is, the key bindings that are used for the normal num 1-12 are strictly for combat.

POLICE are hunting three machete and hammer-wielding robbers who raided a Partington shop.
CCTV footage has been released of the moment three armed men raided the Co-op store, in Partington Shopping Centre, at around 7.50pm on December 30.
The men, wearing masks, walked into the store and demanded staff and customers got to the floor while one of the workers was told to give them money.
Cash was handed over before all three men ran off.
No one was injured.
All three had their faces covered wore dark hooded jackets and dark tracksuit bottoms.
Det Con Andy Warren from INPT North Trafford said: "The last thing both customers and staff were expecting was the sight of three men armed with weapons demanding they were given cash.
"Fortunately, no one was injured but a number of witnesses have been affected by it.
"Did you see these men run out of the shop and the direction they went in?
" If you did, please contact police as soon as you can. Please phone us on 0161 856 9168 or the independent charity Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111."
