Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 26/10/2012 (1757 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
The true story of Arnold Schwarzenegger's life? One might reasonably ask, "Which story? Which Arnold?"
There are so many of them. Arnold the apparently professional narcissist, Arnold the ambitious immigrant, Arnold the business whiz, Arnold the action-movie hero.
Arnold among the Kennedys, Arnold the unfaithful husband, Arnold the head of state, Arnold the enlightened crusader. Arnold, Arnold, Arnold!
They're all here in this astonishing autobiography. Good thing none of them is a wimp or a bore.
Schwarzenegger learned to write the hard way. His father, a rural Austrian police officer, was an abusive drunk who ran his family like a commando. When he took his two sons on an outing, he forced them to write detailed essays about their experience.
It was miserable at the time, but Arnie wound up writing several successful books in his second language, including The Education of a Bodybuilder, a bestseller in 1977 and still in print. Add to his own talent the sophisticated skills of his co-author Peter Petre, former editor of Fortune magazine and you have the makings of, well, a Hollywood blockbuster.
Total Recall is, above all, a marvellously entertaining book, that rare non-fiction work that reads like imaginative and engrossing fiction. It will force you to put your suspicions and your secret talent for stereotyping others aside. It is, by turns, funny, touching, painful and elevating.
Schwarzenegger struggles with self-examination and family dynamics. It was his father, Gustav, who rejected and belittled and beat him as a child, who drove him away from home as far away as America, and who inspired in him an obsessive-compulsive drive to be strong, independent and endlessly disciplined.
In short, to be the best.
Many celebrities have been destroyed by far less success than Arnold Schwarzenegger. At 21 in 1968, he was crowned Mr. Universe, living out the bodybuilder's dream in his new-found Los Angeles. The ladies required no finesse -- they were willing to line up and take a number.
Ten years later he had learned English, earned a college degree and a sizable fortune from real estate.
Twenty years later, in spite of his strange body, name and accent, he was one of the top-five movie stars in the world.
Total Recall reveals that the world's manliest man has a soft and tender side very close to the surface. He admits to being scared silly of his voice coach, to crying from the pain and frustration of a broken leg in a skiing accident, and to being blown away by the humanity of Nelson Mandela's ability to forgive his persecutors.
The book is bound to attract those looking for salacious details about his affair with his housekeeper, Mildred Baena, and their son Joseph, now a teenager. Wife Maria Shriver confronted him with it the morning after his last day as governor of California.
He again admits his mistake, apologizes, and, ever the optimist, restates his hopes for redemption. The apology does not lack humility; neither does it promise a change of behaviour, which successful apologies usually articulate.
Schwarzenegger's surprising emotional intelligence is accompanied in the book by a sharp political intuition that took him through two terms as governor.
Consistent with the rest of his life, he cannot be neatly categorized, calling himself neither conservative nor liberal, but open-minded, a difficult path to follow in U.S. politics. But then, as Arnie says, "Never follow the crowd. Go where it's empty."
Now 65 and with no plans to retire from movies or public life, he says he doesn't mind if you can judge him, love him or hate him. He never argues with people who criticize him, and he has always enjoyed being underestimated. Just "don't confuse me with your average Franz or Hans."
Total Recall puts paid to any such possibility.

Blessed with a special gift,
|reviewer: TC from New Orleans, Louisiana
|Theresa's special gift from God is truly amazing! I don't know how she could read people in a room full of over 3,000 people and not get confused, etc. I kind of knew it would be impossible for her to read me but I experienced something I truly will never forget. People around complained how she stayed just in the front, etc but that is the thing. She didn't just flip flop around and give quick readings she focused on what the message was from the person who passed. She helped people that I think truly needed closure, etc. I was fascinated with her abilities. It was truly wonderful! I would love to have a private reading from her but just to experience what I saw and heard was truly amazing! Come back to Louisiana soon Theresa!

Last reading at the Fox Theater in Detroit,
|reviewer: Estelle Walerzak & Michelle Ulrich from Algonac, Michigan
|Theresa asked about a William in fiery accident where a lot of people died. My daughter and I were in shock, we were on the complete opposite side in front of stage and we knew after the show what could have been addressed to us. My brother in law was William who was a door gunner on a helicopter in Vietnam Nam that was fired upon and crashed and burned! We never saw the body as it was sealed by the Army & identification was dog tags. She was right in saying that one clue could lead to multiple answers, I wish I had spoke up!

>Racing>Relax Boston Standards?
Check out what this guy, "Marathon Man", posted on Facebook. (Have no idea how this got into my feed, btw).
What are your thoughts on whether the Boston Marathon should relax the qualifying requirements in 2014 to honor the bombing victims and show the world Boston's collective resolve? http://espn.go.com/sportsnation/post/_/id/9251383/should-boston-marathon-lift-qualifying
- Joe
We are fragile creatures on collision with our judgment day.
Relaxing the standards makes a difference only if they increase the number of entries. Otherwise, you're just making more people eligible for the same number of spots.
Yes. For one thing this guy clearly didn't do his research, did he?
And I have no idea why he thinks that relaxing standards somehow honors anybody? I don't get it at all. To me at some level this lets the bombers "win" or "accomplish" something by taking something special about the race and making it less so. This seems like a totally wrong headed and stupid idea to me.
(I was going to refrain from offering my own editorial POV on the matter, but just couldn't contain myself, could I?)
As someone who finally qualified for Boston for the first time last Sunday , I am firmly opposed to the idea.
One day at a time
^Congratulations! You must be quite a fast shuffler.
Leave it alone. Current polls saying 60 %
Relax for 2014 = 30%
take off qualify forever 10%
I voted leave it alone. Who gives a F#$^ about these stupid terrorists. Boston Marathon is what it is and leave it as it is.
5k = 19.48 10/1/13
10k = 45.28 4/16/13
Half Marathon = 1:38.53 Summer Sizzle 7/13/14
Operation Jack Marathon 12/26/12 4:39.11
Solo O Marathon 06/02/13 3:52:10
Operation Jack Marathon 12/26/13 3:40.34
From what I understand, the only purpose of the qualifying times is to limit the field. So, if they eliminated the standards, what would they replace it with? The article says let everyone who wants to run the race run it but I don't know that the author has thought this through. I'm guessing it would be a logistical nightmare for the organizers. I can't imagine how many runners would want to run let alone non-runners and how long it would take them all to finish the course. And, if they relaxed the standards as the thread title says, then +1 to what Zonykel pointed out - all you've done is increased the number of people running the race. There will still be people who want to run that won't be able to. BAA seems to be a very well run, class act organization. I imagine they will think of a fitting way to honor the victims, their families, and the city next year.
"What counts is not necessarily the size of the dog in the fight – it's the fight in the dog. – Dwight D. Eisenhower
My blog is JT Running DC. It's awesome.
Leave it alone.
If you can't qualify, go the charity route or bandit.
Another reason to ignore %acebook.
Get off my porch
This is all dumb. If you want to run Boston next year show the race some respect and go bust your ass. Run more, faster, or fundraise. Don't look for a handout.
100K or Bust
From what I understand, the only purpose of the qualifying times is to limit the field.
I glad to see someone else who remembers or realizes this is the reason the BAA implemented standards. A secondary reason was to eliminate entrants who were not properly prepared to run a marathon. There was no intent to make Boston an "elite" race.
The BAA's main concern should be how to fairly treat those who were unable to finish because of the bombings.
2017 Goals: for races not to be exercises in futility
I thought about posting this when I saw it yesterday, but I figured I would know what the consensus would be around here. I voted no as well.
I think it would lessen the prestige of the race, but the other issue is that a lot of charities rely on the people who fund raise to get into this event. It would have a huge negative impact on a lot of organizations that do a lot of good.
Vision without action is a day dream.
Action without vision is a nightmare.
Chris Jones is a sports writer who knows very little about running, runners, or the Boston Marathon. He is certainly entitled to wonder whatever he wants, but eliminating the qualifying standards is not even something the BAA is considering.
"In the end, there's a certain structure we have to this event that will not go away no matter what," he said. And "the very essence of the Boston Marathon is the qualifying nature of it. It's going to disappoint a large group of people, but this isn't just a marathon to sign up for, this is a marathon you have to qualify for, and we're not going to change that basic premise no matter what." Link.
But hey, it generated some clicks for ESPN.
Runners run.
Demon of Bad Decisions
"this isn't just a marathon to sign up for, this is a marathon you have to qualify for*, and we're not going to change that basic premise no matter what."
*Unless you can raise some money for charity. Then screw tradition. Feel free to go knock yourself out for six and a half hours.
I want to do it because I want to do it. -Amelia Earhart
Hell the charity spots are harder to get than the qualifying spots at Boston.

Porto, PT | Rotterdam, NL
The memorial is not the five walls. These five walls, in number, the same as the branches of our Armed Forces, that individually, invoke images of the ridges and contours of the Blue Mountains behind them, or of billowing sails and sweeping lines of ships or of fortress walls, thick and sturdy.
Neither is the memorial the placement of the five walls together. Of, perhaps, a home whose walls are being built by those who returned or destroyed by the violence in which they reluctantly bore witness.
Nor is the memorial the words emblazon upon the walls. Words, even by one of the most learned of men. Words that have descend down through the ages until today.
Finally, the group of figures do not compose the memorial. These ancient symbols handed down to us. The Winged Victory crowning two seated figures with wreathes of laurels. The figures, featureless, except for the most elemental outlines, eulogize no one person in particular. Just as well, for they could be War and Peace seated side by side. Or Men and Women. Those who served on the Frontlines or those on the Homefront. The Living and the Dead.
If these objects are not the memorial, what are they? What is the memorial then? These outward forms are a monument. They symbolize the achievements of our veterans. And rightfully so. Their visual richness, full of symbolism, the weight of words, not jingoistic or chauvinist, but appropriately solemn and respectful. However, by themselves, these elements do not create a memorial.
The memorial is the void within. That empty space, not bare, but simple and stark. A sacred but not religious space. It is the void in people's lives. The space of years spent far from home, some never to return. It is the memories of a graying man, who can still see through the mists, the faces of his buddies, as if they were still standing next to him once more. It is the child, awestruck by the colorful flags floating in the breeze, carried high by soldiers in crisp uniforms, fit and sharp, who also see that graying man, and his salty tears and cryptic smile and smiles back, full of wonder. That is the only true memorial.

Antioxidant is a chemical molecule which forms a shield against molecules called "free radicals" that attack cells and immune system.
Antioxidants that are produced by somatic cells hinder the disruptive effects of free radicals which can cause a great risk to the body. It also delays the chain reactions which can cause abiotrophy and many other diseases.
There are many factors that lead to the formation of free radicals. These include: Petrochemical products, X an UV rays, cigarette smoke, air pollution, even preservative substances and additives in some food and drinks.
Some enzymes are tasked against these substances which are extremely harmful for our body under normal conditions. When we breathe and take air into our lungs, these enzymes convert the harmful effects of free radicals into harmless intermediates. The enzymes in charge of this process are catalase, superoxide dismutase(SOD) and glutathione peroxidase.
Similar to cleaning workers in a nuclear reactor doing their job meticulously, catalase, superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase change the dangerous effects into less harmful ones during inhalation process.
Apart from enzymes, the vitamins E and C, the molecules called carotene and glutathione are also effective in eliminating the harmful effects of free radicals. Many vegetables and fruits, walnut, hazelnut, vegetable oils, red and white meat, fish and cereals are rich in antioxidant.
Creation of a great number of healthy foods and protective molecules to eliminate the harmful effects of free radicals, are undoubtedly a great blessing for human beings.
Humans are neither aware of the presence of free radicals posing a threat to their health, nor have the power to eliminate the reactions caused by it on their own. The intensive precautionary actions of antioxidants which exist in molecules and foods—provided for humans by Allah—conduce them to stay alive and healthy. Absence of antioxidant enzymes causes diseases and death. The existence of these enzymes also constitutes an evidence that there can't be any gradual formation as the theory of evolution claims.
Indeed, these enzymes are able to work perfectly only when all their components are intact. In other words, a slight change in their perfect structure can cause terminal illnesses and deaths. This shows that the enzymes with their flawless structure, are created by Allah, the Almighty by His command "Be".
He has given you everything you have asked Him for. If you tried to number Allah's blessings, you could never count them. Man is indeed wrongdoing, ungrateful. (Surah Ibrahim: 34)

Hi allThe reason for my question is I have a pop email account which are delivered straight away to my pc, but on my blackberry it takes 15 minutes for each email to appear. Reading on blackberry forums the suggestion is to use gmail to tie up the pop email to gmail. I just don't like gmail though as it seems they scan messages and give you ads based on the content of the email which is not cool regarding privacy. What other services are there or how can I make my pop account send emails straight away? Thanks
It sounds like the email sync setting might be set for 15 minutes instead of "push" (or if "push" isn't available, you may have to settle for a sync time of 5 or 10 minutes instead of 15).
You'll likely have this delay with any email provider until you adjust the email account's settings on your phone.
Also keep in mind that having your phone check for email more frequently uses up more battery life.
Well if I get an email to hotmail it gets sent straight away. According to the people on the bb forums there is an issue with the pop accounts and a delay. I'll speak to my host, thanks
As far as gmail alternatives, I use fastmail.fm paid subscription for business. I have it set up for all of my domains. They've been around for a while, now owned by the Opera guys.
I suppose Yahoo! is another choice, one of the big ones.And there are MANY others too.
But I suspect the problem is not the webmail service itself; the problem is one of your settings. So you are probably best off to just stay with Gmail; it is one of the best.
I support Yahoo for you and I think this is the last choice.
Perhaps that's not your mail problem. You can try to solve the problem changing your mail settings.
You have to pay for POP/IMAP access for yahoo.
Personally, I don't trust yahoo for anything critical. They're circling the drain and keep cutting services.
Lot of option but i prefer yahoo.
there are lot of alternative to gmail as there are yahoo, hotmail, but gmail is the faster email services provider i have ever used the webmail services of gmail is the best services provider, in gmail when ever you gets a mail it comes very quickly other than webmail service provider
try hotmail or Yahoo mail.
There's no need for a long list of 'I use xxxxx'. Please only reply if you have something new to add to the discussion. Any replies without motivation, and any repeats of previous replies will be considered fluff.
Thank you for your attention

German's print and online magazine "Der Spiegel" has launched a new sub-section on their web site called Design Klicks.
It's a platform for photographers, architects, illustrators, designers to showcase their work. Doesn't sound too exciting? That's what I thought first, but the (Flash) presentation of the stuff is first-rate. Yes, it's partly in German, but you'll get it. Especially go and try the "Scape" feature.

The American Nurses Association (ANA) mourns the passing of Joyce C. Clifford, PhD, RN, FAAN, of Massachusetts, a senior vice president and nurse-in-chief at the former Beth Israel Hospital in Boston for more than 25 years, who was known for pioneering the "primary nursing" model in which one nurse cares for a particular patient throughout a hospital stay. She was 76.
The American Academy of Nurses honored Clifford as a Living Legend in 2005. She was inducted as a fellow in 1980. In 2007, the Massachusetts Association of Registered Nurses (MARN) named her a Living Legend in Massachusetts Nursing. Clifford was a member of MARN.
Clifford's "primary nursing" model is considered a major contribution to the professionalism of nursing and was recognized internationally. The model is viewed as an effective way to maintain the focus of care and decision-making on the patient and family in a more personalized way as health care delivery became more complex. Clifford also is widely recognized for her work in developing a professional practice environment for nurses and promoting collaboration of nursing with other health care disciplines.
Most recently, Clifford served as president and CEO of the Institute of Nursing Healthcare Leadership, which she founded. The institute represents the Consortium of Harvard-Affiliated Nursing Services (CHANS).
Clifford held appointments as lecturer at Harvard Medical School and a visiting scholar at Boston College School of Nursing.
She was a former President of the American Organization of Nurse Executives, and a member of the Board of Trustees of the American Hospital Association from 1991-1994.
Clifford earned a nursing diploma from The Hospital of St. Raphael School of Nursing. She received a BSN from St. Anselm College in Manchester, NH, a master's degree in nursing from the University of Alabama and a doctorate in Health Planning and Policy Analysis from the Heller School of Brandeis University.

ORLANDO, Fla. - Today, parents, Scoutmasters, Eagle Scouts and other Scouting leaders from across the country announced the launch of OnMyHonor.Net for concerned BSA members.
Officials said a coalition of concerned Boy Scouts of America members who affirm scouting's values will work to keep open homosexuality out of the Boy Scouts.
The announcement coincided with the Central Florida Council's Town Hall Meeting in Orlando, FL which was attended by BSA CEO Wayne Brock and National Commissioner Tico Perez, officials said.
Representatives from thirteen different states including Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Maine, Michigan, Mississippi, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Texas, Virginia and Utah attended the launch and gave brief statements of disagreement with a membership policy which would inject sex and politics into the program, officials said.
"The Boy Scouts are one of the great jewels of American culture," said John Stemberger, Eagle Scout and Founder of OnMyHonor.Net. "We support the current policy of Scouting, which is backed by over 100 years of tradition and allows anyone to participate irrespective of sexual orientation, only disallowing the open and aggressive promotion of homosexuality and political agendas. When it comes to young boys, parents have the final say on the issues of sex and politics."
"What kind of a message are we sending to our young people if the very leaders who are teaching Boy Scouts to be brave, cannot even find the courage to stand firm and avoid caving to peer pressure from Hollywood and political activists?: said Former U.S. Congressman Dick Schulze from Pennsylvania.
The Boy Scouts of America lawyers are expected to draft a resolution to be released on April 22 to be voted on by the national council in May, officials said.
Officials said this resolution will be drafted as to whether or not to allow open homosexuality in the Boy Scout program.

Reds Fan Since 1971
I became a Reds fan when I was a kid (as did most of us). I didn't pay much attention to baseball so when my mom was telling me I needed to watch this game because some guy named Rose was about to make history, I wasn't entirely interested. As soon as I began watching though, I became hooked. My parents took me to a game on June 2, 1989. Eric Davis hit for the cycle and the Reds won 9-4. My addiction to baseball grew to epic proportions. The following year the Reds went wire to wire and won the WS. I followed the box scores with fervent passion.
With all of those memories though, by far my favorites have been taking my two little girls to their first Reds games. Watching them experience the game for the first time is priceless. Their eyes would light up when Joey or Jay would come to the plate and they would cheer as loud as a three year old can. I guess watching them enjoy the game takes me back to when I used to watch it as a kid, seeing the game through their eyes.
"You can't sit on a lead and run a few plays into the line and just kill the clock. You've got to throw the ball over the damn plate and give the other man his chance. That's why baseball is the greatest game of them all." -Earl Weaver
It was in the mid 80s. My moms family is from Cincinnati and my uncles had this history of the reds VHS tape. I sat down with them to watch it and I instantly became fascinated with the BRM. Namely Johnny bench. I was actually him for Halloween one year. But I became hooked soon after watching a game at the local bar/grill where my aunt worked and recognized Pete rose from the video.
My favorite reds moment. Sabos two homers in game three if the 1990 works series.
"You can't sit on a lead and run a few plays into the line and just kill the clock. You've got to throw the ball over the damn plate and give the other man his chance. That's why baseball is the greatest game of them all." -Earl Weaver
Unfortunately, I was born in the 90s so I did not get to experience much excitement for professional sports here in Cincinnati. I went to a few Reds games as a kid and remember asking my dad why people were booing Aaron Boone. I also remember the excitement when we got Griffey.
I sort of followed them here and there, but never really cared. It was hard to since they were never expected to do anything. I became a die hard fan in 2010 when I went to a game on a whim because my friend invited to me to go. It happened to be HOF weekend where the Reds hit 3 HRs and pounced the Rockies 8-1. I was hooked. I have been going to games every year since then. I have found it fun to know the ins and outs of the ballpark and all of the fan interaction the players and announcers participate in. I went to a preseason game for the Bengals and found it extremely boring with no fun games or fan interactions.
My greatest Reds memory would have to be that. Just enjoying games with my dad and soon to be wife. Carrying in a soft sided cooler full of drinks and getting the $1 hot dogs before the game. If I had to pick one game, it would be the Pete Rose Ceremony game where Votto hit a walk off homer in extras to win it.
Although, if I was at last night's game, that would surely be up there.
2015 Attendance 2-1 (4/6, 4/7,4/24)
2014 Attendance 1-3 (3/31, 4/12, 8/14)

Barry On Baseball Also blogging at Banished to the Pen.
And who can tell me where Roger Staubach grew up and went to high school?
Why am i a fan? Was watching a game one Saturday morning a little bit hung over and reds were playing someone on TV at GABP. Not being a massive baseball fan but a sports love i was really enjoying it and intrigued by how often they play as well as all the little parts of the game like how often to use your pitchers etc. The next day i found myself looking up how the next game went and reading up about the reds. Next thing i know i was hooked following the games live a work and in the process getting my mate hooked as well.
My greatest memory is yet to happen but it's not too far off, Monday September 2nd will be my first reds game. Got tickets booked halfway between home and first 2 rows from the dugout....I hope we win, i'm already buzzing and can't wait for that day to arrive. I'm going to enjoy the proper baseball experience beer and hotdogs and no doubt get some reds apparel for the game!
DavidMemphis (05-12-2013),New York Red (05-13-2013)
Great stuff Austalian Red! Get a brat too - they're awesome (bratwurst). Another great thing about going to a baseball game in person - you'll see something you've NEVER seen before. Every time.
I started to follow the Reds back in 1961, whether it was due to baseball cards or the fact that at my swim club in Dayton that many fathers had the Reds playing on their Radios.
Frank Robinson 1956. Electrifying player. I was six years old. I can remember sitting in the left field stands one afternoon at Crosley. Frank hit one over the screen in left, hit another line drive off the left center field fence that got to the wall as fast as any ball I've ever seen (to this day), and came running in full tilt to catch a ball at his shoetops. I've seen many great players for the Reds but nobody quite like Frank. The trade still hurts.
Grew up in Cincinnati. My father would take me and my three siblings to Riverfront Stadium. I do not have many specific game memories from when I was that young, but what I do remember was the walk across the bridges that crossed over the highway. When you're just a boy they seem like they're miles long.
Street performers lined the bridges, maybe a man playing "Pink Panther" on a saxophone, or a drumline banging on buckets. I remember dancing to the music with my sister and two brothers...
And then arriving at Riverfront. Your ticket specified which gate in which you entered, sometimes making it quite a trek to get into the stadium. Once inside, you either went to the blue, green, yellow, or red seats. We always had nosebleeds (red seats) so we walked up and around the seemingly endless ramps. Finally, we'd arrive at our section.
Then the walk through the concrete hallway to the view of the field created a lot of excitement. The sound of the crowd would get louder and louder until you got through. The ensuing scene was turf-and-bleacher grand canyon...majestic.
One game (when I was roughly 15) I ran into Tom Browning who signed a ball for me. The signature is now faded, but I'll always have that ball and that memory.
There are only two seasons - Winter and Baseball.
My toddler years were spent in the little town of Germantown, Ohio, in Montgomery County. We made many trips to Reds games (including a bunch during the BRM era). My earliest Reds memory is going to a game with my dad, at Crosley Field. I don't recall a lot of it, but I've always remembered my dad saying, "Son, that's Willie Mays right there". That has stuck in my head all these years later. As an avid baseball card collector and growing Reds fan, my love for baseball skyrocketed quickly.
We attended several games a year up until around 1980 or so when my parents divorced. We were living in Lexington, KY by then and continued to go to occasional games. I continued to play baseball, but got distracted by many of life's other pleasures during my late teen and early twenty years and didn't attend many games. Starting a career, getting married, having kids, getting divorced, etc -- life -- meant some of the other things I loved went on the back burner again for a few years. I ultimately moved to New York on a job transfer, moving me far away from my beloved Reds (and my Wildcats and Bengals).
However, one of my great Reds memories occurred during my years in New York. It was looking like the Reds would win the division in 2010, so I scheduled a quick vacation to come back home -- hoping to see the Reds clinch in person. And sure enough I was there, with great seats on the third base side, the night Jay Bruce hit the walk-off division-clinching homer to deep CF against the Astros. I've attended many, many live sporting events in my lifetime, but few have ever been as exciting as that moment.
I've been back in my homeland of Lexington for a couple years now and am fortunate to be able to catch a few games a season again. Life is back to normal and my love for the game is as strong as ever.
"I talked to an advance scout that told me if Joey Votto and Albert Pujols were on the same team he'd advise his team to do the unthinkable...pitch around Votto to get to Pujols." - Buster Olney, ESPN

The Crap We Missed – Wednesday 9.26.12
"Here, right in here is why they don't care about the hepatitis."
Welcome to Wednesday's The Crap We Missed, which doesn't boast as large a selection as usual, but does contain two Mitt Romney pics, including my personal fave co-starring Bill Clinton's Titty-Ray Vision™. We've also got, Liev Schreiber, who's kid still prefers this over having his parent puke into his mouth and Pink's butt in yoga pants being the tie that binds her family together, but seriously, who gives a shit about them while Bill Clinton's around leaving heat signatures on fat chicks, so Secret Service can tag and bag them in front of an audience of international world leaders?
I tip my cap to you, sir,

Portrait of my sister Lucille G
A Word Portrait of Lucille G
Lucille Gertrude was born in Fort Dodge, Iowa on 19 September 1914, she was the third daughter of Carl Jerry Bremmer and Lucy Methesmith Sharpe. Her name Lucille was a modernized version of Lucy (mother's name). Where her middle name Gertrude came from I have no idea. Lucille was the only blonde child (the rest of the family had light brown hair). She was rather frail, small and not robust. Mother was five months pregnant which Lucille when she had goiter removal surgery at Mayo Brothers Hospital in Rochester, Minnesota. We always felt this contributed to Lucille's poor health.
In 1918, Lucille and I were sitting on our tricycles on the twelve foot retaining wall in front of our home. We were quarreling, she gave me a push and over and down I went. When I woke up, my arm was in a cast. About a month later, she pulled the typewriter off the desk onto her foot, breaking her ankle. No longer was I the star, but now had to share the sympathy with her.
We were three years apart in age and insuperable. By the time I was seven, I was making our doll clothes, using the sewing machine. At the age of nine, I was making our bloomers. Lucille would alway be on the sewing machine "helping."
Once I sewed the needle right through her fingernail.
Another day we were home alone playing and she put her arm through the glass window over the hall steps. The broken glass sliced her inner arm open, she was bleeding profusely. Somehow I had sense enough to wrap her arm in a heavy towel and walk her the short distance to the doctors' office.
Lucille was temperamental. In the morning she was a tiger not to be challenged. She was surly, ill natured, crabby, cross and most ungracious until she had drunk several cups of coffee and had breakfast. Her coffee drinking started as a small child, Earl and I drank milk or cocoa. She was the reason I never drank coffee.
In my younger days, it was my chore to rinse and stack the breakfast dishes before leaving for school. Lucille's coffee cup would be half full of sugar and I would have to dig the undissolved packed sugar out of her cup. That settled the idea of drinking coffee for me!
When she was about ten, she arrived home with a note from the teacher. Lucille had eaten a crayon and the teaching suggested watching her closely as she didn't know what the aftermath might be. During the night, Lucille cried constantly, being in great pain which mother attributed to the crayon eating. Toward morning, she fell asleep and the entire family did the same. When we got up in the morning mother could not rouse little sister. She was rushed to the hospital and operated on immediately, she had a ruptured appendix. Very, very, ill it was doubtful she could recover. The night following the removal of her stitches, the incision broke open and the internal organs were exposed. The decision was made not to re-operated as the doctors thought she was dying and did not want to put her thought additional agony. Day after day, hour after hour I sat at her hospital bed watching over her. After lingering for weeks she finally became strong enough to come home. The incision area had filled in with a process of granulation, but a large pouch was on the outside of her body. Poor little thing. The doctors would not operate as she lacked the stamina to undergo surgery.
In 1927 we moved to Sioux City but she was not allowed to enter school in this condition. Finally several surgeons agreed to the procedure and Lucille entered St. Vincent's Hospital. The surgery was successful, the granulation removed and the organs placed back in the body cavity. She healed slowly but nicely. I was working evenings, but I spent, every afternoon at the hospital watching over and reassuring her. Her health improved and she entered school.
She graduated from Lincoln High in Los Angels and immediately went to work in the office of Chudacoff Meat Distributors. She soon became office manager as she was most efficient in all business procedures. She was highly regarded and respected in the meat industry.
She married Leland "Bud" Wood, no children due to the difficult surgeries of her childhood. Bud was afflicted with asthma. On 28 October 1959, he returned home from the doctors's office after receiving his usual asthma injection. He tried to get out of his car, but fell dead in the driveway. Lucille had heard his car come into the driveway, but when he didn't come into the house, she assumed that he was talking to a neighbor or had gone into the garage. When she realized it had been over an hour, she went looking and found his body. This shock started her on the road downhill.
She met a soon to be retired Army Sergeant and married him. Later she sold her lovely Pasadena home and purchased a large older home in the Westlake area of Los Angeles. We knew that she and Sarge were into the booze but not the full extent of their drinking. We would phone her at home, but would never get to talk to her. Sarge always answered the phone and have excuse after excuse for her not coming to the phone.
One Sunday morning, my husband and I decided to investigate this situation, we arrived unannounced and surprised Sarge so he had to let us in the house. I found her in bed, with wine and liquor bottles on the night stand and the chests of drawers. She was unable to get out of bed and had not been up for several weeks. I stripped her, bathed her and got her into clean clothes (made Sarge change the sheets). Lucille After I got home, informed by brothers and my sister as to what, I had found. The next day she was admitted to Huntington Hospital in Pasadena. After a few days she was transferred to the Army Hospital in Ft McArthur. I visited her everyday. Twenty days later she died, holding my hand while I was talking to her.
The last thing I could do for her, was to see she had proper funeral. For several hours, I stayed in her hospital room until the officials agreed to do as I requested. I was worried what drunken Sarge might have in mind. She was taken to Forest Lawn, to be buried close to mother and dad.
Sarge came out a winner. Married less than a year, he inherited her bank accounts, her valuable coin collection, and the house. Sister Glee and I went to Lucille's home a few days later and asked Sarge for a few of our Bremmer and Sharpe family heirlooms and a painting of our mother. His answer was to take a large gun out of a drawer and state "I will use this on anyone who tries to remove a thing from my house."
What a waste o life, such an attractive forty eight year old woman with an excellent mind, now lost to the world. In a little over three years after losing her beloved first husband, Bud she had drank herself to death (certainly aided by Sarge). The doctor were blunt, her death due to "too much Haig and Haig."
Her death certificate dated 20 March 1963, states cause of death: Laennec's Cirrhosis due to Chronic Alcoholism.
She was buried at Forest Lawn, Glendale, California.

Britain's Independent Commission on Banking may have started the practical process of ring-fencing banks against disaster. But the commission has no mandate to expose the truth of what went wrong in the financial crisis (including, it has to be said, the complicity of ordinary borrowers) let alone heal the trauma it caused.
Brad Fried, former chief executive of Investec, thinks that if an honest, open analysis of the causes of the crisis is not carried out, there is a risk that the UK, and the financial world, will repeat the same mistakes. Read more

Stefano Arienti
2004, 2006, 2012, 2013
Stefano Arienti's (b. 1961 Italy) work is philosophical, intellectually vibrant, and carries with it a strong element of compassion. A talented draftsman, Arienti incorporates and manipulates simple, everyday objects in surprising and unusual ways. Books, rugs, table tops, newspapers and posters are transformed through a minimal gesture like folding, sewing, tracing, dying and puncturing. In doing so, he subverts the visual clichés of popular culture.
Arienti has shown extensively in worldwide, including the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago, IL; the Centre d'Art Contemporain, Geneva; the National Museum of Contemporary Art, Seoul, Korea; the ICA, London; ArtPace, Texas; the Castello di Rivoli, Turin; Museo Di Palazzo Ducale, Venice; Hara Museum, Japan; Maxxi Museum, Rome; and the 7th Gwangju Biennale, curated by Okwui Enwezor. In 2005, the Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo in Turin presented a major retrospective of Arienti's work. His work has also been featured in the Milano Europa 2000 Triennial and the Third International Istanbul Biennial. Stefano Arienti lives and works in Milan.
Stefano Arienti first came to the Gardner in 2004 and spent time exploring the Japanese collection as well as digital photographs of the installation and objects of Mrs. Gardner's Second Chinese Room. He returned in the fall of 2006 to continue his research in the archives and to give a Noontime Talk about his work. Arienti became interested in the "Catalogue of Asian Objects". These binders compiled by Kojiro Tomita, Curator of the Asiatic Department, MFA, Boston (1931-1963) and his nephew Shunichiro Tomita in 1927, contain drawings and descriptions of Gardner's Asian collection. During his visit the conservation team was preparing for Journeys East, an upcoming exhibition about Mrs. Gardner's trip to Asia. Arienti was able to get an intimate look at the tea set Okakura Kakuzo bequeathed to Isabella Gardner as well as other objects being considered for the show.
Through out the next year Arienti worked in his studio with the materials he collected while at the Gardner Museum. The result was The Asian Shore, an installation about discovery and making visible things that have been forgotten or are rarely seen. Arienti positioned new drawings, photocopies of the binder drawings, rugs that he dyed black and red, and a rarely viewed set of 17th century Japanese sliding doors (fusuma) of the Rimpa School from the Collection in a way that involved the viewer in a meditative journey, an exploration of drawing, the Museum's Asian collection, and of Isabella Gardner's own sense of space and time. Visitors were invited to take off their shoes, sit on the rugs and become part of the environment that Arienti created. Okwui Enwezor, curator of the 7th Gwangju Biennale (2008) in South Korea, invited Arienti to install this exhibition at the Uijae Art Gallery Museum. Arienti also created an artist book to accompany the exhibition. The Asian Shore, published by Charta Ed, brought together various works by the artist with works from the exhibition.
In 2012, the museum celebrated the completion of a new building and of several preservation projects. Arienti was invited to produce the first project for the museum's new exhibition space on the Evan's Way façade. Arienti created a bright red Ailanthus, also known as the Tree-of-Heaven, a fast-growing tree and a prolific seeder with an extensive root system. Ailanthus remained until June when it was exchanged for another drawing by Arienti titled Wild Carrot which was installed until April 2013.
Arienti also created Libro Azzurro, a guest book for the new Living Room for the inaugural year. Incorporating his own drawings, the book invites visitors to contribute their comments, anecdotes, and imaginative gestures to its pages. These entries will forever capture the opening year of the new wing.

SAINT LEO, Fla. - Saint Leo University head tennis coach James Bryce has announced the signing of Coralie Pesenti to join the Lions' women's tennis program in the fall of 2012.
The Lions' lone National Letter of Intent (NLI), Pesenti adds to a lineup that returns all but two student-athletes from last season's NCAA Tournament team.

"Losing two seniors is hard to replace, but I believe from day one that she can compete at the highest level in the Sunshine State Conference. Her maturity, as well as her commitment to her studies and tennis will be a great asset to the program."

ORANGE PARK, Fla. - John Gobaton is struggling with the loss of his wife, Analiza. She was hit by a stray bullet while sitting in her SUV on Blanding Boulevard on Friday morning.
"My life is a mess, my life is upside down right now," Gobaton said.
On Tuesday afternoon, police announced they made an arrest in connection with the shooting that took Analiza's life.
"I'm happy to know that he's not going to be a problem and cause this kind of senseless death," Gobaton said of 23-year-old Taurice Brown's arrest.
A senseless act of violence has left Gobaton to raise three children alone.
"My little one doesn't understand that Mom is gone right now," Gobaton said. "The other ones are adjusting, trying to move on as their mom would want them to."
Viewings for Analiza Gobaton will be held Thursday and Friday from 5 to 9 p.m., with Rosary at 6 p.m., at Jacksonville Memory Gardens Funeral Home, 111 Blanding Blvd., in Orange Park.
When Channel 4 asked Gobaton if he had any words for the man charged with killing his wife, he said he hadn't thought about what he would say to him.
"I had to put off my thoughts of anger and justice and put them in God's hands," Gobaton said. "The justice belongs to my God."
Police said they are still looking for a second man who fired shots that morning.

Reviews for this host's other properties
Het appartement was nog mpoier dan op de foto's. Het was mooi en groot en perfect gelegen. Er waren veel voorzieningen. Het enige minpuntje was dat de wasmachine het niet goed deed. Kerstin was wel altijd bereid ons te helpen en dus verliep alles soepel.
Tolle Wohnung....Lage der Wohnung war super
...In der Wohnung war alles was man auch zu hause hat...
Sehr nette Vermieterin, sehr schönes Apartment mitten in Lloret. Liebevoll eingerichtet und mit allen Dingen des täglichen Bedarfs ausgestattet. Sogar Verbrauchsmaterialien wie Spülmittel, Küchenrolle und Kaffee (!) waren vorhanden. An- und Abreise konnten flexibel geregelt werden. Hatte einen super Aufenthalt. Jederzeit gerne wieder!
The accomodation was perfect for our family. Te appartement was clean and neat. Also was the place perfect to visit the city. Public transport was nearly for the door. The train was in about 500 m. Everything what you need was in the appartment such as a washmachine, coffeemachine, etc. The view was excellent. The towels and sheets were very clean. When we arrived, we got a short explanation of the appartment and what's in it. So I recomend the appartment to everyone.
I have enjoyed the stay at Kerstin's apartment. There is everything you need for living. Apartment was clean and well prepared for our stay. Good place for families. Well situated if you want to enjoy swimming and sunbathing. A bit far from nightlife but if you want to have a rest - very good place. Hosts are very nice and helpful. I would definitely recommend to stay at this apartment.
Un fin de semana excelente, una casa muy amplia y limpia, ideal tanto para familias como para amigos,
We really enjoyed our stay in the luxury appartment in Badalona. We especially like the location of the appartement, 1 minute walk to the beach and 25 minutes away from the heart of Barçelona.

SAINT LEO, Fla. – Coach Nikki Jessee has announced the Saint Leo women's basketball team's 2011-12 regular season schedule. In total, the Lions have 26 games on tap, including 16 at the friendly confines of the Marion Bowman Activities Center.
In addition, the Lions will compete one mid-season tournament, as well as 16 Sunshine State Conference games.
The regular season will be followed by the Sunshine State Conference Tournament, which is set for February 29 – March 4, 2012 from the Jenkins Field House in Lakeland, Fla. (Hosted by Florida Southern College).
About the 2011-12 schedule Jessee stated, "Our schedule presents some tough challenges as we play perennial NCAA tournament participants Valdosta State at home and Delta State at a neutral site, and we will be tested early as we open up with Gulf South member West Florida. We also play Alabama Huntsville before Christmas who is another regional opponent. With a predominantly home schedule early, the stars could align for us to surprise some teams.
Outside a trip to Lakeland, Fla. to compete in Florida Southern's FSC Classic, December 18-19, Saint Leo will spend the entire first two months of the regular season on their home court. The Lions will open their regular season on Friday, November 11 against the University of West Florida.
Saint Leo will then open its SSC slate on Saturday, December 31, as they play host to Lynn in a New Years Eve showdown. Tip-off is set for 2:00 p.m.
The Lions will get their first true taste of the road on Wednesday, January 4, when they clash with the Spartans at 5:30 p.m. It will also mark the first contest between Coach Jessee and her husband, Tom Jessee, the head coach at the University of Tampa.
Saint Leo will wrap-up its home regular season schedule with a senior day showdown with Eckerd on Wednesday, February, 22. Opening tip is set for 5:30 p.m.
The final regular season contest will come in Miami Shores, Fla. when the Lions travel to Barry to challenge the Buccaneers on Saturday, February, 25.
"We're excited about this season, and the future of our program. We have a solid foundation, and with a few missing pieces to fill in the blanks, we could have a very good year," concluded Jessee.

afterglow organic mineral blush
Mineral makeup takes awhile for some to get used to, but as a convert, I love it. I was never a fan of feeling like I have makeup caked on me (creams, liquid foundations, etc). Mineral makeup is awesome for that reason, in particular afterglow. The color choices are amazing (sometimes difficult to accommodate with naturally-derived makeup) and it's light as a feather. Not too mention it's free of common irritants, has antioxidants, and is organic.

KEMAH, Texas - Three cats have recently killed by at least one coyote in Kemah.
No humans have been attacked, but residents in the Marina Del Sol neighborhood said they are scared for their animals.
Kim Etheridge made the gruesome discovery of her cat "Bajan" Tuesday morning, just minutes after she realized he had disappeared from the back yard.
"It had been ripped apart," said Etheridge.
Homeowners Association President Kirby McKillip said he's received several emails in just the past few days from residents saying they've spotted at least one coyote in the area. Other emails are more grim. Some homeowners have reported their small pets have gone missing recently. They have most likely been killed by the coyotes that have started to hunt in the neighborhood.
"Police chief called me and said the police department would be actively pursuing solving the issue," said McKillip.
Because these are "urban" coyotes, this isn't handled by League City's animal control office.
"Our animal control only deals with domestic animals. In cases like this, the police department will go out," said Kristi Wyatt, director of communications for League City.
It's not known why the coyotes have now started hunting in this area, but neighbors think it's because there are a lot of small animals to feed on.
"They aren't going to leave because they have an endless supply of food," said Etheridge.
In the meantime, police suggest to homeowners to take the necessary steps to keep their animals and property safe. Tips can be found on the Texas Parks and Wildlife website.

Police investigating a crash on Hawkeridge Road near Yarnbrook last night are looking to speak to a cyclist who was almost struck by the car.
A silver Peugeot 306 travelling north on the B3097 came off the road shortly after 5pm and hit the wall of Tumblewood Community School at Heywood.
Firefighters from Westbury and Trowbridge worked to free the severely trapped driver, a 32-year-old man from Trowbridge, removing the entire side of the car with hydraulic cutting equipment.
The crews were finished by 5.54pm and the driver was taken to Frenchay Hospital with serious injuries. The road was closed until around 9pm.
Police are keen to speak to anyone who witnessed the incident, or the cyclist who was nearly hit by the car.

Follow the Sourdough - Day 4: Tiny Bubbles
I've decided to feed it one more time, and tomorrow I will probably be ready to start the bread. I mention in the clip if your starter is ahead of mine, and has already developed the froth and lots of bubbles, you can cover it, throw it in the fridge, and wait for the next step. Hey, it's not a race!
24 comments:
I only watch one series now- and that's an educational sitcom called "foodwishes" :D
ready for the next episode :-)
- March 9, 2008 at 5:38 PM
slowly but surely coming along!!!
I'm so jealous you get to eat all that food you make :(
- March 9, 2008 at 7:29 PM
Please explain why it's necessary to discard half per day?
- March 9, 2008 at 11:00 PM
- Connie said...
The bubbles look like the bubbles my Beta fish makes.
- March 9, 2008 at 11:30 PM
- Chef John said...
I'm not exactly sure! This is the method I learned, and it always works for me. My theory is you want a healthy breeding yeast colony, and by adding fresh flour and water you are giving the colony un-fermented food. If you just kept adding it without removing some you would have a huge starter.
- March 9, 2008 at 11:36 PM
You're discarding half, because you start with 1 cup of flour and a cup of liquid. If you start with 1/4 cup of flour and 1/4 cup of liquid and add 1/4 cup on each subsequent day, you don't have to throw the excess mixture every day.
- March 18, 2008 at 8:13 PM
Noooooooooooo what happened to the video about starting the sourdough starter???? I neeeeeeeeeed you, Chef John....sigh.
- April 19, 2008 at 1:46 PM
- Chef John said...
Im not sure what you mean, the video is right here. ??
- April 19, 2008 at 1:53 PM
- MoRe said...
Chef John. Is it normal for the starter to stink like an old lady's ass? Forgive the expression but for real it's some funky bacteria!!! It's got the bubbles and everything you said it should have.
- July 9, 2008 at 3:35 PM
- Chef John said...
it should smell sour, and beery, but not rancid. It's very hard to tell from your description. I'm not familiar with the smell you described.
- July 9, 2008 at 5:23 PM
- shweetpotato said...
Why is there no day 3 video?? Eek, what did I miss. just got my starter started YAYYY how fun, Carm
- October 12, 2008 at 6:17 PM
- Chef John said...
nothing to do day 3 except feed starter and wait. Check day 2 again for instructions.
- October 12, 2008 at 8:34 PM
- nick cianci said...
my starter smells like vinegar is that normal it looks like it is supposed to though
i got to the stage where i had to make the sponge it didnt really rise though why would it rise if your just adding the same thing as before and it didnt rise before
then i tried kneeding it got through that but it didnt rise overnight so i just threw it away
- May 31, 2009 at 10:37 AM
- Chef John said...
you dont knead the sponge, you knead the dough which is the sponge added to more flour. I'm not sure what you mean. Check out this video I did later for About.com
- May 31, 2009 at 1:13 PM
- Bernadette said...
Hi Chef John, My starter is very liquidity. What am i doing wrong? On Day 4 its not thick at all and its very liquidity. I am not able to get the spongy results. I have been trying to do this like 2 times already and its not happening for me. Can you help me?
- October 1, 2009 at 11:34 PM
How, and when in this process, do I save starter for future bread? I hear it's kept in the fridge, and needs to be fed periodically???
- October 15, 2011 at 10:00 PM
- Chef John said...
Yes, keep in fridge and feed every few weeks
- October 16, 2011 at 1:56 AM
- anele said...
First thought I lost Day 3 then noticed in a reply to a comment that it wasn'tnecessary. OK. Now I can't find Day 6 which seems vital. Can't make bread without dough making instructions. By the way I didn't throw away the extra batter after feeding started, I just used it in pancakes came fine. Hate to waste all that good flour.
- October 19, 2011 at 9:43 AM
- anele said...
The missing Day 3 video confused and delayed me until I noticed the reply to a comment. OK, I get thatitwas just a repeat of day to. But now I can't find Day 6 which seems vital to making the actual bread.
In addition I want to mention that instead of tossing out the batter i removed to feed the starter I just used it in pancakes. Hate to waste so much flour.
- October 19, 2011 at 9:48 AM
- Martae said...
Can you use other flours for this reccipe? Can you put sunflower seeds in the dough?
Thanks Chef John. You make it easy for us newbies.
- April 3, 2014 at 7:20 PM
- EVAIOANNOU said...
can I store my beautiful bubbly starter in the fridge at day 4 and then make my sponge a couple of days later?
- May 19, 2014 at 3:35 PM
- EVAIOANNOU said...
Can I put the starter in the fridge on day 4 and make my sponge a few days later?
- May 19, 2014 at 3:37 PM
- Chef John said...
Probably, but not really sure!
- May 19, 2014 at 3:58 PM
- PhoebeN said...
Instead of throwing away the other half of the starter, could you have two batches of starter?

[VS] Rock, Planet, Shotgun: Outfit discussion & organisation
Message to new / prospective members who have found their way here:
Welcome. This thread is full of all sorts of information such as why we wear giraffe camo and why our leaders are called Balloons. It's a good place to post questions about the outfit, but you would be mad to try and read it all!
If you want to know how to join us, check out this:
For an idea of what we are about, check out our manifesto:
For much more info, head to the outfit guide:
In general, most of the info about the outfit can be found on our website at www.rockplanetshotgun.com
If you have any questions, please post them in this thread.
The best way to find out what we are about and what Planetside 2 offers is to just hop in and play with us. We will always welcome new people, and they can join in whenever. For details on how to setup Planetside 2 and MUmble communications, check out the stickied posts in these forums.
Rock, Planet, Shotgun
[RPS] Is huge. Really huge. When I first started this thread we had grown to over 200 players in total and I thought we would need somewhere to properly discuss the outfit. We now have over 250 people active in the last week and over 800 total members.
This thread initially served as a catch all for all aspects of outfit organisation and discussion. We're too big to have just one thread for that, as can be seen by the numerous threads for specific issues that have become more common.
To that end, I have started a thread for "Purple Giraffes of Awesome" and will copy posts with existing awards there. I have also started a thread for outfit promotions and ranks, though I will keep old suggestions here.
This thread remains a place to discuss any goings on in the outfit in general. We still have a lot to talk about with those small issues removed from here. Feel free to start new threads for what seem to be bigger issues that need dedicated space, but most discussion can take place here.
Call to arms post below. Original post below that.
If you have come here from the RPS front page post, welcome.
You need to know one thing: Rock Planet Shotgun was created with one sole purpose. To provide a fun a friendly place for readers of Rock Paper Shotgun to play Planetside 2.
We have over 700 members, of which 130 are regular (log in at least once a week) and usually get about 40 people playing on every night of the week. If tomorrow is anything like last time, expect over 100 RPS players this Thursday "Call to Arms"!
We are also closely engaged with other outfits and so not only will you be playing alongside dozens of RPS readers you will be playing in coordination with hundreds of other players. This is the uniqueness of Planetside 2. Little else gets anywhere near this scale.
That being said, you shouldn't feel like a tiny cog in a big machine playing with us. For the Call To Arms event we will be playing in groups of 12. We work tactically, but do not expect the kind of mock-military nonsense you might find elsewhere.
We manage to strike a balance between being relaxed and friendly yet make an impact strategically and tactically. I don't know how we manage this and I try not to think about it too much just in case.. In any event we have fostered a playign environment I think we can rightly be proud of, and we're very happy to welcome you.
We have one rule. Be excellent to one another.
We are open to all skill levels. Please do not worry if you have never played PS2 or even an FPS before. We will have people on hand specifically to get people into and understanding the game.
How to play with us in 3 steps
1. Download Planetside 2 & Create a Character
The download is not insignificant. Get in running in advance of Thursday night if possible
For EU players go to:
www.planetside2.euIt is advised that you do not download via Steam. There have been issues with the Steam version of the game with EU accounts in the past and it is not clear if these have been resolved
For Players with an existing SOE account:
If you know you have an SOE account, go to:www.planetside2.com
downlaod from Steam
Create a character for the Vanu Sovereignty empire on the Miller server.
(You may have to select "show all servers" in character creation.)
If you want to play the New Conglomerate faction, then our sister outfit Rock, Traitor, Shotgun should be happy to accommodate you. They play on the same server.
2. Download Mumble & Join our channels
All the details can be found in this thread:
3. Login with your character and ask for an invite to our outfit & platoon
And you will be good to go.
Some basics of play can be found here:
But you will be talked through everything that happens by people dedicated to explaining things to new players.
Original post:
It is no secret that Planetside 2 is not the easiest and intuitive game to pick up. If you have played before but bounced off, please do try playing with us, it might make all the difference.
Ok, so, the Rock, Planet, Shotgun outfit is larger than I ever reasonably expected. Like, huge. Massive. Bloody absurd if you ask me. I thought there might be a couple of dozen of us bundling about shooting lasers, not over 200...
I fully expect turnouts to drop as the weeks go by and people realise PS2 is 'not for them', but it's no insubstantial base we've started with.
So, apart from needing somewhere to discuss & organise the outfit, a few questions:
1) Any preference towards bothering-or-not with outfit ranks?
Anarchist leanings push me towards having absolutely everyone as 'member'. As little hierarchy as possible.
I also realise that sometimes people like / deserve recognition for work being put in with fancy little stacked Vs. There's a bunch of you purple peeps putting in the effort (thanks!) and creating some excellent squad / platoon / general friendliness experiences. Is outfit ranking the best way to go about recognising this? (see also; below!)
2) More organised outings?
Wednesdays seem to have got brilliantly shambolic. This is a good thing. Loud, chatty, messy laser shoots are excellent.
That being said, some people have expressed a desire for something a bit more coordinated. Also; I spent 100 certs in that bloody command chat, I might as well do something with it.
So: Any desire to arrange some kind of "let's shoot lasers with a bit more attention to where we aim them" get together? If so, when? Regular? Ad hoc?
Announcing the Purple Giraffe of Awesome Awards
Because people / we are awesome. Sometimes it's nice to recognise this.
Also, if you think about it, a giraffes silhouette is a bit like a thumbs-up. Which is a traditional way of indicating an appreciation of someone's awesome. Expect better. Because it's a purple giraffe. Obv.
Awarded for actions deemed awesome. Can be anything from leading vast platoons to neon drenched glory to being a particularly amusing drunk. Or just an outstandingly decent person. We like those.
Anyone can award this to anyone else in the outfit for any reason they like.
Directons: Google image search "purple giraffe". Choose one. Post it here with the intended recipient and why they are awesome.

Aisalem - Wednesday, May 07, 2014 - linkI would like just comment on web layout and not on the article.
Putting the commercial as a background and having no margins around the text (Opera, Opera Next, IE11) makes it almost unreadable and definitely very tiring. I'm happy to look at the pictures but all your efford to write something just went to waste.
I don't mind commercials but please leave left and right side of the site clean with uniform background. Reply

willis936 - Wednesday, May 07, 2014 - linkIt's actually hilarious how similar it is to the iPhone edge. However I salute them for blatantly ripping off any "style" IP because it's just ridiculous that they handed those patents out in the first place. Reply
Flunk - Wednesday, May 07, 2014 - linkDesign patents are very specific, this isn't close enough to violate them. Yes, there are similarities but a lot of them are generic things. Reply
MercuryStar - Monday, September 15, 2014 - linkThe greatest trick Apple ever pulled was to convince the world that copying someone else's good ideas was a "bad thing".
Yes this shows the successful and attractive iPhone design had a strong influence. No, that is not illegal, a violation of patents, or a bad thing, as Apple might want you to believe. If taking someone else's good ideas and building upon them was illegal we wouldn't have cars, or toasters, or electricity to the home. This is quite distinct from copyright or patent violation which would involve copying a very specific aspect or technique. I'm sure Apple finds it very convenient that the general public seem to be hazy on what, for example, a design patent can protect. Reply

The Arizona Diamondbacks announced today that they will receive the 2012 Arizona Business Leadership Award. The honor salutes the D-backs' management and leadership culture and will be presented during a special celebration on May 10 at Chase Field. D-backs President and CEO Derrick Hall will accept the award on behalf of the organization.
"We are humbled to be recognized for the culture that has been created here and the leadership team we have in place," said Hall. "This award belongs to everyone in the D-backs' organization for their efforts and their passion for making this the best place in the Valley to come to work."
This is the 16th-annual ABL award. Past winners include the Mayo Clinic, Jobing.com, Harkins Theatres, Go Daddy and Arizona Public Service Co.
"This award spotlights great leadership in our state, and when you think of leaders and a winning culture, you think of the Arizona Diamondbacks," said Jeff Reichard, Vice President Awards of Arizona Business Leadership.
At the May 10 celebration, Hall will discuss the shared vision with Managing General Partner Ken Kendrick that helped mold a new corporate culture and empower staff, players and fans alike.
A mission and values statement for all employees includes the 'Circle of Success' program, which focuses on the organization's efforts in five key areas. The D-backs created a workplace filled with results, common sense, passion and fun. A 'One fan at a time' concept, where management answers every letter, email or phone call from fans, and the 'Find A Way To Say Yes' customer service policy are just some of the ways the team connects with its fan base.
The awards ceremony is at 5:30 p.m. on Thursday, May 10, 2012, in the Audi quattro Lounge at Chase Field. Only 300 tickets are available at $65 for ABL members and $75 for non-members. Registration ends after May 4, and the first 250 who register will receive a limited edition souvenir to mark the occasion.
ABL also will present the award to the D-backs during the team's May 21 game against the Los Angeles Dodgers. The D-backs have donated a game suite to ABL, which will sell suite tickets for $100 with all proceeds going to the Arizona Diamondbacks Foundation.
