Install from a binary release
A binary release is simply a fully packaged version of GeoQO with all the needed software prerequistes bundled with it. It is the easiest and fastest to get up and running.
Steps Required
- Grab the geoqo-linux file from the download repository
- Make it executable (see below)
- Run it!
Note: The first time you run it, geoqo will need to unpack a bunch of files and it make take up to 30 seconds to launch!
Making the download executable
When you download the geoqo-linux binary it will not be something you can run just by clicking on it (this is for your safety to prevent you from downloading malicious programs).
Making it executable in a shell
If you like working with a command line:
# cd Desktop (or wherever you saved it) # chmod a+x geoqo-linux
Making it executable from the Desktop
The below assumes you saved geoqo-linux to the Desktop. If you saved it to a folder, the procedure will still be similar but the screenshots won't be quite the same. These screenshots are taken from the default Ubuntu desktop which makes use of the Gnome Desktop environment. Your menus may look different, especially if you're using the KDE desktop (screenshots for that needed).
Step 1: Right click on the geoqo-linux icon and select the properties menu item:
Step 2: When the properties dialog box comes up, use the permissions tab to make it executable using the checkbox near the bottom (shown here in a pink oval).
Step 3: Double click on the geoqo-linux icon to run it! See the Tutorial for more information on using geoqo.
Note: The first time you run it, geoqo will need to unpack a bunch of files and it make take up to 30 seconds to launch!

C is for Hank
It's been a tough couple of years for our Blueshirts, and it's been even tougher for the Garden faithful. Every thing this proud franchise has worked for since its existence seems to be unraveling before our eyes, yet we're too loyal of a fan base to look away.
The end of the 2009-10 campaign was a microcosm of the whole season. Had we won just one or two more games, this may not have happened, but our hearts were torn in two watching our Rangers fall in a shootout. There was no emotion in their game, no heart: just empty eyes all around the bench. The only emotion we saw from our team was the anger and frustration of our goalie Henrik Lundqvist, an anger that should've fired up the rest of the team but didn't (not even Torts could wake this team up). Where are our leaders? Where are the Rangers we once knew?
There are hundreds of things wrong with this Rangers team. They need more offense, better defense, better coaching, and better management. Yet, the one thing they need more than anything is a true leader – a leader who embraces his team, his city, and is not afraid to carry both on his shoulders. In 1994, the Rangers had four of these caliber players (you know who they are): Leech, Graves, Richter, and Messier. They were New York, and they were true Blueshirts; they bled red, white, and blue. It's no coincidence that they're numbers are forever immortalized in the rafters above our heads at the Garden. These guys were our guys. They had the "it" factor, and they knew what a proud franchise this team is.
Where are these types of players now? Well, while we may not have four of them, there is one person that shines and plays his guts out in EVERY game. Whether or not the team in front of him is alive, this man plays his heart out through thick and thin, just like the previous mentioned players. This man is Henrik Lundqvist, and the only thing missing for him is a capital "C" on the top right of his sweater.
How many times do we watch games and think, "What more can Henrik do?" This man has stood on his head for this team numerous times, so much so that he is physically and mentally drained by the time March comes around, and it's so frustrating to me that the players in front of him can't do the same back.
Chris Drury, your time as captain is up. Give Hank the "C", because he can handle the pressure and the spotlight that Drury obviously can't. This is something that is long overdue! The man is becoming a legend in New York, but if we're not careful, he may become more appreciated somewhere else. Why give him the C? Not only does he have the numbers to back it up, he is the embodiment of a Ranger and a true leader. Plus, Henrik knows what it's like to win a championship — he's been there. Hank carried a whole country on his shoulders during the 2006 Olympics, proving that he is born for this opportunity.
Hank loves this city, and the city loves him back; we believe in our goalie, and he believes in us. This city deserves a new hero, and Lundqvist can be our red, blue, and white knight. So, listen up John Tortorella: it's time for a change. Make this a proud franchise and dominating force once again. Make Henrik Lundqvist — our franchise man and New York hockey's sweetheart — the 26th team captain of the New York Rangers, and let him lead our team the way he deserves to.

I decided to start with a post about the LC Workbench ES Component Development Tool, which makes the generation of a custom component an easier task. You can download the prerelease of the tool from Adobe Labs (http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/lcwcdtool). The Development Tool is essentially a plug-in for Eclipse that provides a new type of project with a component.xml file, pre-generated service classes and an Ant script to finally generate the custom component JAR.
The thing that I really like about the tool is that it allows you to configure your custom component without the need of manually editing the component.xml file.
Before installing the Development Tool you need to make sure you have the following Eclipse frameworks installed:
– Eclipse Modeling Framework Project (EMF)
– Eclipse Graphical Editing Framework (GEF)
– Web Tools Platform (WTP SDK)
After installing these 3 frameworks, you can download the Development Tool from Adobe Labs and install it on your Eclipse (http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/lcwcdtool.html).
Now, once installed, you will follow the following steps to create your custom component:
- Create your new Component Project. You will see that under the "New Project" wizard of Eclipse, there is now a new category called "Adobe LiveCycle" with a "Component Project" within it.
- On the first screen you will be prompted to enter the name of the new project, the package name where your service classes will be, and the unique ID of the component.
- This dialog also allows you to specify the services your custom component will provide.
- This "New Project" wizard will generate your project with the component.xml file already configured, and your service classes and Ant script generated. The project tree should look something like this:
- If you need to add additional configuration to the component.xml file, you can edit it with the component editor provided by the Development Tool. Just open the component.xml in Eclipse and you won't get the plain XML file content, but the following edit dialog that should make the edition of the file much easier.
- The next step would be to implement the business logic of your service classes already pre-generated for you
- Once you finish coding your Java classes, you can run the provided Ant build.xml to finally generate the JAR file, and voila!… your custom component is ready to be imported in LC Workbench to get it installed on your LC server.

IT was a perplexing end to a perplexing campaign for Swindon Town.
Meadow Lane, for a good four minutes, stood still and gawped with wide-eyed wonder as 20 players squared up face-to-face and eye-to-eye on the edge of the Town box, as the game entered second-half stoppage time.
Referee Richard Clark, looking like a substitute teacher trying to separate warring adolescents, took the unorthodox approach and just let the melee run its course. Then, as Swindon manager Mark Cooper put it, he chose to play 'card bingo'. Five yellows. Two reds. A full house.
Swindon, already a goal behind following Alan Sheehan's ninth-minute strike, were reduced to nine men with the dismissals of Troy Archibald-Henville – for a push on Jimmy Spencer – and captain Nathan Thompson, after his second bookable offence.
The visitors would go on to lose 2-0, as Callum McGregor made the most of Wes Foderingham being on halfway to tap home Jamal Campbell-Ryce's cross into an empty net in the ninth minute of time added on, and it was a deserved win for the relegation-haunted hosts.
For Alex Pritchard, always striving to produce one final moment of brilliance, it was a frustrating way to say goodbye. For many of his teammates, it was an afternoon to forget.
Everyone associated with Swindon Town know all too well that rarely is anything simple at the County Ground. That Peterborough won at Shrewsbury meant that, whatever the result at Meadow Lane, the coveted sixth spot would always be unreachable. But this is Swindon Town, and they still had to have the final say.
The showdown charade in the dying moments of a turgid game shouldn't provide any excuse or reason for Swindon's loss. They were below-par, impotent, lacking in quality on the ball and, while they never stopped working for each other, nothing would work for them.
On a rotten pitch that could quite reasonably have been mistaken for a Somerset back garden after the recent floods, the visitors simply couldn't adapt to the bobbles. But that was no cause for routine passes to miss their intended targets but a couple of dozen feet, or for the front three to show a total absence of creativity that made you wonder whether they'd been given a footballing lobotomy after the excellent victories over Coventry and Bradford at Easter.
Archibald-Henville was rock solid, until Spencer got on his nerves in stoppage time, while Massimo Luongo showed occasional glimpses of intent, running the ball out of midfield only to be spectacularly slide-tackled by a grassy rivet, but there was nothing for the travelling fans to put their voices behind. There was barely anything to applaud.
Notts, spurred on by a boisterous home crowd, were better than their league position suggests. They manipulated home advantage by practically drowning their playing surface before kick-off and at half-time, and used the physicality of Spencer to rough up Raphael Branco and draw space for the impressive Campbell-Ryce to deliver consistent quality from the right wing.
Swindon couldn't cope. They only had one shot on target – a swinging effort from range from Pritchard – while Michael Smith volleyed wide from six yards when served a delicious cross by Nathan Thompson in the first half.
And that was pretty much it. Well, apart from the 20-man dust-up that forced 14 minutes of added time, that is. But it's probably best if we forget that.
Notts started the game brightly and should have had the lead inside five minutes, when Spencer got in front of Jack Stephens but only managed to head wide from Campbell-Ryce's cross.
The home side made up for their striker's profligacy four minutes later, however. Two Town defenders converged on Jack Grealish on the left flank and he found the composure to pick out Sheehan who, with the freedom of Nottingham to pick his spot, beat Foderingham to his bottom right-hand corner.
With route one football the flavour of the day for the hosts, Town took until the 26th minute to fashion a scoring chance of their own. Thompson played in a delicate cross from the right and Smith muscled past Haydn Hollis only to volley wide from six yards out.
Archibald-Henville headed wide just after the half-hour, as Swindon briefly threatened to claw their way back into the match, but Notts resumed control in the immediate minutes before the break.
Jay McEveley cleared Spencer's flick as it headed towards the Town net, while Ronan Murray should have done better than drag wide when his strike partner fought off Branco to nod down into his path.
Stephens' long-range effort was well off-target as Swindon began the second period knowing they had to turn the game around if they were to stand any chance of clawing back Peterborough in sixth, but soon they were catching themselves out defensively.
Luongo's errant header played in Murray, who was sloppy when one on one with Foderingham, though the Town keeper must be given his dues for an excellent save.
Branco's last-ditch block stopped Campbell-Ryce from blasting home in the 58th minute and it seemed that it was only a matter of time before the home team doubled their lead.
However, with 68 minutes on the clock, Swindon opened up the Notts defence for the first time. Louis Thompson played a gorgeous pass in behind the hosts' rearguard but Luongo, who had options in the middle, sidefooted into the sidenetting.
It took until the 85th minute for Pritchard to muster his team's only shot on target, but Bartosz Bialkowski saved well from the Spurs loanee's dipping, swerving, long-range drive.
And so the game entered stoppage time, and all hell broke loose. Archibald-Henville pushed over Spencer, both sets of players got involved and by the time referee Clark had figured out what was going on there were 20 bodies pushing and shoving like fashionistas at a Versace sale.
Clark opted to give Archibald-Henville and Nathan Thompson their marching orders, while two further players from each side were also handed yellows.
With nine men on the pitch, Swindon threw everyone forward for a late free-kick, County cleared and Campbell-Ryce gave McGregor a tap-in on a plate. It was an absurd end to another absurd season.
Rotherham visit the County Ground for the official final game of the term on Saturday and after that, maybe we'll all be able to take a breath.

SIX schools will have defibrilators installed thanks to the Pumping Marvellous charity and the Lancashire Telegraph.
Ten defibrilators have been purchased with £10,000 of funding from the Gannett Foundation, the charitable arm of Gannett Co Inc, owner of Newsquest Media Group, whose titles include the Lancashire Telegraph.
To date, nine schools in East Lancashire have been approached and six have accepted the potentially life-saving equipment.
Defibrilators can be used by an untrained person to help jump-start the heart in the case of a cardiac arrest.
They will be located in schools, but will be available to the community in case of an emergency.
The school that will be having the equipment installed include St Mary's RC School in Oswaldtwistle, Our Lady of Perpetual Succour RC School in Blackburn, Darwen Vale High School in Darwen, Wensley Fold Primary School in Blackburn, and St Augustine High School in Billington.
Other schools which have been approached also include Rose Grove in Burnley and Witton Park High School in Blackburn.
The charity would also like to install a defibrilator into a school in Sabden, due to its remote location.
Nick Hartshorne-Evans, chairman of the Altham charity, said: "I think it's a great uptake.
"These schools have been identified because of the number of high priority calls in the area for the ambulance service, which include cardiac arrests and heart attacks.
"All these schools have been targeted because they are in these hot spot areas.
"We have also looked at locations in hard to reach areas where response times are longer."
Installation will take place from March onwards."

GSA Launches Notifications.USA.gov as Public Information Resource
September 21, 2010
GSA's newest web portal, Notifications.USA.gov, serves as a vast resource where the general public can access real-time information from the government on a wide range of topics and sign-up to have updates delivered to their computer desktop, smart phone, or other device.
"Whether it be food safety recalls, weather warnings, or the latest information on government initiatives, the public's need for information from their government continues to grow," said David McClure, Associate Administrator of GSA's Office of Citizen Services and Innovative Technologies. "By putting real-time notifications at citizens' fingertips or in the palm of their hand, we have created a way for agencies to provide critical information that citizens want in ways that they want it."
The new menu is a component of USA.gov, a GSA administered website that is the federal government's official one-stop gateway to information from federal, state, and local governments.
USA.gov's recently upgraded search function enables Notifications.USA.gov users to get the information they desire more efficiently.
For instance, if a visitor wants to learn more about the government's response during hurricane season they can simply type the word "hurricane" in the search box and will quickly be directed to a page containing relevant information and links from a variety of agencies.
McClure noted that the public's desire for information from the government continues to grow, and as the ability to quickly access such information has exploded through new media, social networking, and high-tech gadgetry, the need for a platform like Notifications.USA.gov has never been greater.
"GSA continues to identify and implement ways to help agencies across government provide critical information to citizens in ways they want to receive it," McClure said.

Authentic presentation of the Poe classic, but there's something almost Monty Pythonish comical about the dead/then alive/then dead and who gets the body of the wicked man's wife. Chilling ending
Mike in Grand Rapids
A man wishes to see his deceased lover and speaks with a friend who has demonstrated his ability to mesmerize both man and beast. When they open the grave, they learn the man's wife is still alive but they are also accosted by the woman's cruel and heartless husband.
Paul Phoenix
Another Poe adaptation! Or is it? Well, there are elements of "The Case of M. Valdemar"... And the obsessive love for a person who is, maybe, dead... that's "Poesque". Anyway, we have a woman who was forced by her family to marry against her will and has now died. Apparently.... The man who truly loved her... The helpful doctor friend with the power of mesmerism. At least this episode comes to an appropriate finish. Unfortunately the episode as a whole is not very good.
Edmund H.
A woman is entombed in a crypt by her unloving husband after her untimely death. Her distraught lover enlists the help of his dear friend, the doctor, to visit her tomb and gaze upon her face one last time. Even after a week of her death he desperately wants to see her while the doctor tries to talk him out of it. When they open the coffin they find her alive and find her alive, certainly a miracle has taken place and they seek to usher her away. Before they can leave, the evil husband shows up and demands they return her to him. He decries his situation and the money that will be lost in his new marriage proposal to a rich widow now that his old wife has returned from the dead. The husband threatens to have the intruders imprisoned but the doctor uses his powers of mesmerism to impose his will on the evil man and they escape. There are many more twists and turns to come after that.
this is going to be a hard one to listen to... so scary. prolly one of my biggest fears irl. time to fire it up over the old AM rebroadcaster, static and all.
Yes, it is scary! And I agree, the best way to listen is through a small AM transmitter and an AA5 table radio or an old Zenith, RCA Victrola or Grundig console.
Edgar Allen Poe and RMT were meant for each other. RMT's adaptations of Poe stories were well done and creepy. It was a great idea to kick off their season with a week of Poe. This particular effort ranks right up there with "Berenice" and "The Oblong Box". The doctor in this episode reminds me of the psychic detective from "Night of the Howling Dog" in that he always seemed to be able to master the situation. The actor who portrayed his friend did a good job of depicting a man on the edge of insanity. My favorite part of the show is when the woman describes awakening to realize she is buried alive. Has anyone ever seen the European version of "The Vanishing"?
- Nice choice. - This is, obviously, not the only Poe/RMT tale involving a deceased female spouse. ("The oblong box" comes to mind and I think there's another one as well.) Poe lost his beloved wife to illness at an early age, and his grieving comes through in his work. - I love when the friend on the edge of insanity asks the doctor: "Mesmerize ME, Gordon", trying to get his beloved's image out of his ever-burdened mind. - Guy Sorel (Sorrell?), like in his masterful "The hand" appearance, again does a good "sinister English aristocrat" voice. - And the other voice Sorel does in this play, that of the ill-fated guard, makes me ask: How many of you ever listened to the Firesign Theatre comedy group (also from the 70s)? I don't mean to make light of someone dying but...Sorel's character is talking when the doctor's friend stabs him in the back, whereupon the former says: "Agh...aghhh.." and drops to the floor ostensibly dead. That sounded exactly like a Firesign skit when a some british character was trying, in a very climactic moment of a serious yet goofy skit, to get information from an aristocrat of some sort lying on his deathbed. The Firesign player, as the british man, was about to get critical information on buried treasure or something like that from the dying man and the skit went something like this: BRITISH GUY: "And the treasure is where...?" DYING MAN: "You will find it with..." BRITISH GUY: "Go on..." (obviously leaning on every word the other is saying) DYING MAN: "...with..." BRITISH GUY: "Yes, yes..." DYING MAN: "...with the Count of...Agh...aghhh.. (SFX: falls back in bed and dies) BRITISH GUY: "The 'Count of...Agh...aghhh..'?!?! But I don't KNOW any Count of Agh...aghhh..! (audience laughter) I do know a Duke of OUEGGHH!" (Male chorus in the background: "Duke...duke...duke of OUEGGGHH.")
Danilo Escalada
This is one of the best RMT adaptations of Poe! Keir Dullea really does do a fantastic job of bringing to life a character on the brink of insanity. Paul Hecht is terrific as always and, Yes! Guy Sorel does the sinister English aristocrat to perfection! (you can almost envision him twirling his mustache!)
Again, though, the story is considerable different from the original Poe. If I remember correctly-- "The Premature Burial" is a descriptive narrative of a series of burial alive tragedies with one passing reference to a wife meeting such a horrible end in France. Lowthar does a masterful job of expanding upon those 2 or 3 sentences and turning it into a full-fledged drama, creating some memorable characters along the way. The ending is very well done and creates a powerful and horrific image-- best enjoyed in the dark.
I think my favorite RMT/Poe is still "The Fall of the House of Usher" (because it is easily the most faithful rendition) But this ranks a close second!!!
M. Balce
An entertaining episode, though I wish the character of the wife had been given more to do than just cry and complain. And I wish every episode of CBSRMT had thunderstorm sound effects like this one.
Phillip M.
Very nice Poe adaptation.
I agree with M Balce's evaluation of the acting. I met Keir Dullea once at the Motor City Comic Con and spoke to him for at least 20 minutes - he was interesting to talk to. Too bad I didn't know about this episode at the time as it would've given me something else to talk to him about. The mesmerism to keep someone alive reminded me of another story (HP Lovecraft movie?) but I can't seem to remember it now.

Find Your Blind Spot!
Another popular one – and quite unnerving if you've never seen it before! Here's what I want you to do: close your left eye and just focus your right eye on the tiny static circle on the left of the screen. At some point the big circle will disappear as it crosses your 'blind spot'. If you can't see this effect, it means you're sitting too close/far from your monitor. Try sitting closer/further to the screen and repeat the test. So, have you managed to find your blind spot?

A modifier is a number that changes a die result or a natural roll, it can be positive or negative. Any modifier that is always positive or absent is called a bonus. Any modifier that is always negative or absent is called a penalty. It is also possible (and common) to say that a character "has a size penalty" instead of saying that (s)he "has a negative size modifier" (or "has a size bonus" instead of "has a positive size modifier").
Usually the higher the modifier, the better, and the bigger the penalty, the worse.

Liberty Falls at Charleston Southern, 80-66
The Liberty men's basketball team stepped into Charleston Southern's Buc Dome, Saturday afternoon, hoping to rebound from a narrow loss three days earlier. Unfortunately for the Flames, the Buccaneers had not forgotten the sting of falling to Liberty in the 2013 Big South Championship finals, last season. Led by a 35-point point effort from Sheldon Strickland, Charleston Southern jumped out to an early lead and did not look back en route to an 80-66 decision.
With the defeat, Liberty falls to 9-14 on the year and 3-5 in conference action. Charleston Southern, who came into the game averaging 84.3 ppg (second in the Big South) and nearly 11 three-pointers per game (second in the nation), improves 10-11 and 4-4 in Big South play.
Liberty shot 33.8 percent (22-of-65) from the field, while the Buccaneers finished with a 50.0 percent shooting (29-of-58), including 41.7 percent (10-of-24) from three-point range.
Davon Marshall and Andrew Smith paced Liberty with 15 points, apiece, followed by John Caleb Sanders, who had 11 points. Smith also added a career-high 13 rebounds.
Along with Strickland's 35 tallies, Will Saunders and Arlon Harper added 14 and 11 points, respectively for the Buccaneers.
Charleston Southern showcased its three-point prowess in the opening seven-plus minutes, knocking down six of its first eight attempts from long range to hold a 24-7 lead at the 12:48 mark. Strickland led the charge, going 3-of-3 from three-point range during the span, followed by two treys from Saunders and one by Harper.
Strickland continued to display the hot hand. The senior made it a 20-point game, 29-9, knocking down another three-pointer with 10:22 left in the period. Liberty countered with back-to-back three-pointers from Marshall and Tomasz Gielo to cut the deficit to 14. Strickland answered again with his fifth trey. Following two free throws by Sanders, Strickland connected on a short jumper to kick start an 8-0 run. Alhaji Fullah capped the burst with a jump shot to give Charleston Southern its largest lead of the half (23 points), 40-17 at 6:37.
Strickland hit his sixth three-point basket of the half with 2:03 left in the period, ultimately helping Charleston Southern carry a 45-27 lead into the locker room at halftime.
Liberty concluded the opening stanza shooting 38.5 percent (10-of-26), compared to 50.0 percent (16-of-32) for the Buccaneers. Charleston Southern went 9-of-17 from three-point land, including a 6-of-7 effort for Strickland. The Flames went 3-of-9 from downtown during the half.
Strickland's six three-pointers helped him finish the opening 20 minutes with 20 points, followed by Saunders who had 10. Andrew Smith led Liberty with eight tallies.
Charleston Southern led by as much as 27 with 13:33 left on the clock in the second half. Liberty then went on a 13-2 run, which included seven points from Marshall and a lighting fast, windmill dunk by Smith. Strickland halted Liberty's burst with one of his own, scoring seven straight points, single-handedly. Marshall answered with his third three-pointer of the contest to make it 70-50 with 6:08 remaining.
Liberty outscored the Buccaneers, 10-4, during the next 4:43 to cut the deficit to 14 with 1:25 left. However, the Flames were forced to foul during the remainder of the contest, eventually setting up the 80-66 final.
The Flames return to action inside the Vines Center, Tuesday night, against Winthrop. Tipoff is slated for 7 p.m., with the contest airing live on the Liberty Flames Sports Network, MASN and ESPN3.

Cancer Survivor Debbie Merle Designs Vibrant, Go-Anywhere Jewelry
Debbie Merle's story – and rainbow hued jewels – will inspire you!
-Diana Denza
A breast cancer survivor, Debbie Merle stumbled into jewelry design as a way to cope with fighting her disease. The result: beaded baubles that'll brighten up any fall wardrobe. We chatted with Merle about her struggle with cancer, her proudest moments of a designer, and the meaning behind these pretty pieces. You can call us charmed! Check out her gorgeous creations in our exclusive flash sale at BettyConfidential Shop!
Betty Confidential: Your jewelry is so vibrant –how do you choose the color palettes?
Debbie Merle: I find true passion with life and nature. When I look at a sunset or the sky or a blade of grass, I see and feel a connection that lights me up from the inside out and leads me to the amazing color palettes I select. It needs to excite me and reach me on an emotional, spiritual and physical level. The colors that I work with speak to me in a certain way; they put a smile on my face.
BC: What do the charms and agate beads mean to you?
DM: The beads and charms that I work with have healing and protective properties. I feel there is a magical power and energy in the materials that I use. They heal the soul and spirit and I want to pass this healing and happiness on.
BC: How did your struggle with cancer inspire you to design jewelry?
DM: When I was very sick and really thought that I was going to die, I tried to muster up enough strength to get through all of the chemo and radiation treatments. Suddenly, it was as if a switch just went on and it came to me. I discovered that it is my true passion and happiness to design beautiful pieces of art that I would be able to wear proudly. It made me happy and it made others smile as well.
How Debbie dealt with her diagnosis up next!

Cubs edged despite Rizzo dazzling with glove, bat
Arrieta loses steam after fast start, allowing three late runs
PHOENIX -- Anthony Rizzo matched his career high in home runs with his 23rd on Sunday and made an incredible acrobatic catch -- though it cost the Cubs the tie-breaking run.
David Peralta hit a game-tying RBI double and then scored on Rizzo's amazing play in the sixth to lead the Diamondbacks to a 3-2 victory Sunday over the Cubs, and complete a sweep of the three-game series in front of 37,131 at Chase Field.
With the loss, the Cubs have dropped 11 of their last 13 games, a streak that started after the July 4 trade of Jeff Samardzija and Jason Hammel to the Athletics.
"We need to just win," Rizzo said. "It's another close game. We keep fighting and we're in a position to tie it up. We didn't come through, but we have to keep grinding."
That's the same message manager Rick Renteria gave the players after the game.
"That's what I told them -- 'Keep your heads up, it'll turn, keep grinding, and we'll get ready for the next series at home,'" Renteria said.
Jake Arrieta has the only two wins in this 13-game stretch, but he took the loss Sunday. The right-hander entered the game with the third-best ERA since May 1 among Major League starters. He gave up three runs over 6 2/3 innings, and his ERA is now 2.12.
The right-hander admitted he felt weak because of a stomach flu he's battled for three days.
"I wasn't able to eat any solid foods and get enough in my stomach to sustain," Arrieta said. "It was just a weird three days. ... Most days I'll take that outing but I would've liked to do a little more to keep a run or two off the board. You've got to fight through it and give the team what you've got that day."
Rizzo gave the Cubs a 1-0 lead with one out in the sixth when he hit the first pitch from Josh Collmenter to right for his third homer in three games since the All-Star break. He belted 23 in 160 games last season, while Sunday was his 96th game this year.
But the Diamondbacks answered in their half of the inning, tying the game on back-to-back doubles by Ender Inciarte and Peralta. Paul Goldschmidt grounded out and Miguel Montero then walked before Aaron Hill popped up toward the Cubs' dugout. Rizzo leaned over the railing and was able to catch the ball before falling into the camera well next to the dugout. As he sat on the concrete, he threw the ball back into fair territory to catcher John Baker, but because the ball went into dead ball territory after the catch, the runners were each awarded a base, allowing Peralta to score from third.
"Back-to-back hitters, just left a sinker a little elevated, and Inciarte and Peralta were able to put some decent wood on it and get it over [Chris] Coghlan in left field," Arrieta said. "A pretty crazy play on the Aaron Hill foul territory fly ball. Tremendous play by Rizzo. He was almost able to come up and get him there at home."
Diamondbacks manager Kirk Gibson was impressed by Arrieta's outing, not knowing the right-hander wasn't feeling well.
"Arrieta's got good stuff -- he's got really good stuff," Gibson said. "You can just tell by the swings that you're getting and seeing.
"Arrieta threw the ball good all game, to be honest with you," Gibson said. "I know that back in the past, he was a guy that we've talked about when he was with the Orioles. It's really the first time I watched him pitch live, and he's got a very good arm."
With two outs in the seventh, the Cubs thought they had thrown out pinch-hitter Mark Trumbo, who was trying to steal second. But the Diamondbacks asked for a review, and the call was overturned. Trumbo then scored two batters later on Peralta's single.
Coghlan and Arismendy Alcantara hit consecutive doubles with one out in the eighth to close the gap to 3-2, but the Cubs eventually fell to 9-17 in one-run games.
After an off-day Monday, the Cubs open a 10-game homestand on Tuesday, beginning with the Padres. The first two pitchers for that series, Kyle Hendricks and Tsuyoshi Wada, will be replacing Samardzija and Hammel. And there could be more moves. The July 31 non-waiver Trade Deadline is looming.
"We're well aware trades will continue to take place and guys will be shuffled in different positions and get experience across the board and they'll fit guys in certain situations," Arrieta said. "That doesn't take away from our mindset of going out there and trying to win every series.
"We're going to need guys to step up in the rotation and give us some innings, guys who come up here whether it's Wada, Hendricks, [Dallas] Beeler, whoever comes up," Arrieta said. "It's going to be tough to do and those guys will have their work cut out for them and I'm confident they're capable of doing so."

From the coast of Cape Cod to the beaches of the Dominican Republic, to the banks of Iceland, the Saint Leo women's golfers left their footprints in a plethora of places during the summer of 2012. While the ladies weren't playing golf and preparing for the 2012-13 season, many held summer jobs, took vacations, and just hung out with friends.
Junior Heather Petronis wins the award of "most traveled" during the 2012 summer. Petronis, a native of New Jersey, was nominated to attend the NCAA Career in Sport Forum in Indianapolis, Ind., where she spent four days listening to seminars about leadership, future opportunities in sports, and how to lead people.
When she returned home to Northfield, N.J., Petronis resumed her summer job at Greate Bay Country Club as a golf shop employee where she answered phone calls, took inventory, worked in the pro shop, and helped during registration of tournaments. The best part of the job though? "Just being able to take a cart out after work and playing until it gets dark. Or getting there early in the morning and getting a round in before work was really fun."
Petronis, who had never previously been out of the United States, also took a two-week trip in July to visit her boyfriend, Viktor Wikner, in Uppsala, Sweden. "Never being out of the country before, it was an unbelievable experience eating Swedish food, going to Swedish shops, and playing golf over there," Petronis said.
Ironically, two members of the Lions' women's golf team vacationed in the Domincan Republic at two different times over the summer. Both Alyssa Barrett and newcomer Lauren Petty enjoyed their time on the Dominican beaches, zip lining, and going swimming. While Barrett was back home from vacation she spent the remainder of summer working as a lifeguard at the Falmouth Beaches in Massachusetts. (Click here to see the Falmouth Beaches lifeguards rendition of Carley Rae Jepson's summer hit, "Call Me Maybe". Barrett appears towards the end of the video). Newcomer Lauren Shuford, native of Brooksville, Fla., also spent the majority of her time in the outdoors. The junior enjoyed some jet-skiing, fishing, and scalloping. She also went tubing down Rainbow River, a very popular attraction in central Florida.
Sophomore Jenna Gimbel spent much of her summer vacation at The Players Club at Sawgrass in Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla. While completing her apprenticeship with the Tour Academy at TPC Sawgrass, she was able to attend the TPC Sawgrass Players Championship and came away with autographs from Tiger Woods, Rory McIlroy, Ricky Fowler, and about 50 other PGA professionals. As one of the highlights of the summer, Gimbel was even able to walk under the ropes with McIlroy for a hole. Gimbel also enjoyed a vacation to Wisconsin where she spent her time visiting with family, rock climbing, jet skiing, zip lining, and four wheeling. In her free time, Gimbel also volunteered with the HUG program, which stands for "Help us Golf", which is a three-day golf experience teaching autistic children the ins and outs of the game. Gimbel calls her experience with HUG "absolutely amazing!"
Also working for a great cause this summer was sophomore Clare Connolly, who spent some time working with First Team Watch of Washington D.C., an organization that teaches underprivileged children how to play golf. Aside of that, Connolly helped run a golf tournament in memory of her uncle who worked in the real estate business in the area. Hosted by the First Tee Forehand, the tournament was played in memory of him.
While Gimbel and Connolly were here in the United States working for some great organizations, Ragna Olafsdottir was in her native homeland of Iceland doing some great work of her own. The senior volunteered at a summer golf camp teaching children how to play golf. Aside from working the summer camp, Olafsdottir also worked at a fish market freezing fish. Also out of the country and back home in Colombia was senior Laura Huertas. Huertes enjoyed hanging out with friends, but made an enormous effort to imrove on her game by playing every day over the summer.

THIS is the moment an intruder was caught red-handed on camera thanks to a quick-thinking neighbour.
The picture shows Darren Thomas trying to scramble over a back garden fence after he was caught trying to break-in to a house in Medway Road, Ronkswood, Worcester.
The 38-year-old, of Ribble Close, Ronkswood, came face-to-face with the householder after he returned home to let the dog out.
The burglar made a quick getaway, but thanks to this evidence he was identified quickly and arrested.
At Worcester Magistrates Court Thomas was given a four-month prison sentence suspended for two years for attempted burglary and a month for resisting a police officer following the incident on April 26.
He was placed under supervision for two years, ordered to undergo alcohol treatment for 12 months and was placed on an electronic curfew daily between 7pm and 7am.
He was also ordered to pay £100 compensation and an £80 victim surcharge.

According to the Center for Women's Business Research, women-owned businesses account for 40 per cent of all privately held companies – which is not too shabby. But only about 3 per cent of all of these companies have revenues of $1m or more, compared with 6 per cent of companies owned by men. According to a study by the Kauffman Foundation, just 1.8 per cent of women-owned companies have revenues above $1m.

Freezing PointScience brain teasers require understanding of the physical or biological world and the laws that govern it.
The freezing point of pure water is 32 degrees Fahrenheit (0 degrees Celsius). However, by simply adding a common household ingredient, you then can easily cool the water 20 degrees past the freezing point, and still keep it in liquid form.
How is this possible?
AnswerBy adding salt to water, you lower the freezing point of the water. If you add enough, it is possible to get it 20 degrees below the typical freezing point.

Financial Aid
Last year, students received over nine million dollars in institutional scholarships, state and federal grant. More than 90 percent of Carey's full-time students receive some type of financial assistance through loans, student employment, grants and scholarships.
William Carey University admits students of any race, color, national and ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs and activities generally accorded or made available to students at WCU. WCU does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national or ethnic origin in the administration of its educational policies, admissions policies, financial aid programs, athletic or other school-administered programs.
Scholarship, grants, work-study and loan funds at William Carey University are administered in conjunction with a nationally established philosophy of distributing financial aid. The basis of this philosophy is the belief that the student and parents bear the primary responsibility of paying the cost of higher education, and that financial aid from the university is available only for meeting the difference between the cost of education and the amount the students and parents can be reasonably expected to contribute. A student's expected family contribution (EFC) is determined by the U.S. Department of Education once a student has completed the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).
The purpose of William Carey University's financial aid program is to provide assistance to students who would be unable to attend college without such aid. Financial aid includes scholarships, grants, work-study, and loans. These types of assistance are extended singly or in combination. The financial aid award "package" offered depends on the student's academic record and need for assistance.
It is understandable that most students would prefer that the cost of education be covered through full scholarship or a gift program, but the packaging concept allows William Carey to assist more students, thereby making it possible for more students to attend. Each applicant is considered for all aid programs administered by the Office of Financial Aid. The university requires that a FAFSA be completed by any student who will be receiving a scholarship, loan, work-study, grant or any other form of financial aid. Any student receiving a scholarship at William Carey is also required to early-register each term in order to retain the scholarship.
Financial Aid General Regulations
Financial aid applicants must be accepted for admission to William Carey before financial aid can be awarded. Non-degree students are not eligible for federal, state or scholarship aid. Financial aid is offered to full-time students pursuing their first baccalaureate degree. If a student drops below half-time enrollment, the student automatically becomes ineligible for most financial aid.
Ordinarily, financial aid is awarded once per trimester in the regular academic year. To receive financial aid, students must maintain "Standards of Satisfactory Progress" toward their degrees and remain in good standing. Financial aid may be withdrawn from students who are penalized by the university for serious breaches of discipline. The Office of Financial Aid reserves the right to withhold further assistance if it becomes evident that a student has abused or is abusing the financial aid programs.
Students receiving financial aid from sources outside William Carey must advise the Office of Financial Aid of the source and amount of such aid. An application for financial aid must be completed annually. Financial aid is not automatically renewed. William Carey University is in compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Title IX of the Educational Amendments of 1972 and does not discriminate against the handicapped or on the basis of race, creed, color, gender or national origin. Non-degree students are not eligible for federal financial aid.
Any student receiving all F's or I's in any trimester will lose all institutional scholarship aid for the next trimester of attendance.
For Mississippi Residents Only
The following changes have been made by the Institutions of Higher Learning (IHL) regarding financial aid funds issued by the state.
For state aid purposes only, 10 hours per trimester will be considered full-time (WCU's full time equivalency is still 9 hours per trimester).
If you are receiving MTAG, MESG, HELP, William Winter, or any of the Nursing funds and want to continue to receive them you must be registered for at least 10 hours per trimester.
Also, forgivable loan programs will only be awarded to renewal applicants only. This includes William Winter and all of the Nursing funds.
No funds will be awarded for the Graduate Teacher Scholarship, School and Counselor Administrator, Health Care Professions, and Nursing Teacher Stipend.
You may still apply for MTAG until September 15th at www.riseupms.com/state-aid.

I looked this up the other day, it seems this tag
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width; initial-scale=1.0; maximum-scale=1.0;">
should help to prevent font-size from getting bigger when you change orientation form portrait to landscape...
but for some reason this is helping ONLY for the font in the top-nav section(including links and selected, non-link nav elements), but not for main section of the page.. on the main section of the page when you switch to landscape the font gets bigger, but not the font in the top nav... I want the font-size throughout not to change (can change when user chooses to zoom up, but I don't want any font-sizes to change when orientation changes form portrait to landscape..)
how can I prevent font in main section from changing size when I change orientation?
(have not been able to test on Android (or Windows) phone, so I don't know if this is an issue on phones other than iPhone....)
thank you...
PS: just realized that with tag I have user can't zoom up, so: is there a tag that will prevent font-sizes to change on orientation chg, but that user can still zoom up if they choose to? (oh brother... mobile development; it's not just a job, it's an adventure..... )
Try this instead:
body {-webkit-text-size-adjust: none;}
Just putting this in the main style sheet can muck up text resizing on desktop browsers, though, so it's better to put it in media queries like this:
@media only screen and (min-device-width : 320px) and (max-device-width : 480px) {
body {-webkit-text-size-adjust: none;}
that worked!!
thank you Ralph...
how do I enable user-zoom?
when search all I find is how DISABLE zoom...
in that <meta name="viewport"...> tag.. neither one of them worked...
Not totally sure, but it's more a case of not denying it rather than allowing it. Try removing this bit from the meta element you posted above:
I presume that's what it preventing zooming.
So you end up with
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width; initial-scale=1.0;">
That makes the site appear full width when visitors come to your site, but doesn't prevent them from zooming in.
I don't want to prevent the zoom, I want to ENABLE it....
but NOT on orientation change.. only when the user zooms.....
thank you....
Yes, I was just pointing out that you were disabling it, as it works by default normally.
hmmmm.. thank you Ralph.. so here's another challenge:
need to make something appear dynamically, but ONLY for phones... (using jQuery)
when you make elements appear dynamically the style gets inserted inline, so you can't overwrite it...
Probably need a more concrete example to be sure of what you mean. But you can have a class on an element which is set to display: none in the desktop styles and display: block in the phone styles, for example.
well, needed to trigger event based on user input, but ONLY in phones (not tablets...) so either way, whether changing classes, show/hide, etc.. needed to find a way to detect screen dimensions..
so just did
if (screen_width < 480) {
(question: 480 is the width of iPhone screen (when in landscape), right? but don't some Android phones have larger screens? what is screen width of LARGEST smartphone??)
thank you......
The iPhone is actually much wider than 480px, but it obeys the 480px wide rule, and I think Android phones do too.
so just did
I've never seen code like that—not in CSS anyway. Is this PHP, JS or ...?
it's JavaScript.... jQuery, to be precise...
I trigger an event (show an element) only if user is on a phone.....
so the phones "obey" a 480 rule, even though those are not their real dimensions?? well that's interesting.....
so I'm safe for all phones with that rule? ok..
once again thank you very much, Ralph.... you have been very very helpful....
edit: PS: actually I did..
if (screen_width <= 480) {
(if 480 or less than, instead of just less than...) that should be a bit safer, no?
Certainly iPhone does. I can't say for sure with others, but I think so. The iPhone display has gradually packed in more pixels (with the retina display etc.) and it would be an awful pain if you had to target each iPhone version differently, so thankfully they've spared us that misery.
Glad to be of help. I admit I'm a bit of a blind leader, but better than nothing, hopefully.
Sounds good to me.

MIAMI SHORES, Fla. – The Saint Leo volleyball team was unable to get the second half of its Sunshine State Conference schedule started on a good note as the Lions dropped their Saturday match to Barry University 3-1 (23-25, 25-23, 26-24, 25-16) in south Florida.
It was a match where the Lions (10-11, 2-7 SSC) could not keep the momentum of an early-set victory to earn the conference win after a two-week SSC layoff. The host Buccaneers (12-11, 4-6 SSC) held off a furious rally by the Lions in the second set where Saint Leo nearly erased a 23-17 deficit; and then deflated the Lions when they rallied from an early hole in set three to win 26-24.
The Buccaneers hit .268, while the Lions had a .255 attack rate. Barry out-blocked Saint Leo, 9-4, and had 10 aces to the Lions' five.
Despite the loss, Saint Leo still saw three of its own hit in double digits led by Meghan Donovan's 14-kill, .414 hitting percentage evening. Tawni Warren also notched 14 kills and Tayler Hegg had the first highlight game of her career with 10 successful attacks.
Jayla Trombley finished with 14 kills, 11 digs and three aces as she helped the Bucs to the victory. In addition, Ashley Carrero and Tania Torres each notched 12 kills for Barry.
Barry sweeps this season's series after posting a 3-1 win at the Bowman Center back in late September.
The Lions look to rebound when they travel to Boca Raton and take on Lynn University in a rescheduled game on Sunday afternoon. The Lions and Fighting Knights get underway at 2 p.m. at Glenview Prep School.

It seems like the Washington Nationals have the Mets' number at Citi Field as they won the rubber game of their series 6-4. The Mets failed for the sixth time this season to win the deciding game of a series.
The Nationals have now beat the Mets four times out of six, all in Flushing, and once again moved a game ahead in the rankings. Out of the Mets' eight home losses, half have come at the hands of the Nationals. The Mets better return the favor in Washington, as they'll head down there next Wednesday and Thursday for a two-game mini-series.
Today's game was decided by a slew of two-run innings. The Nats tagged Mets starter Mike Pelfrey for four runs, two in the second and two in the fourth. He lasted 5 2/3 innings with three walks and six strikeouts. It wasn't a great start by Pelfrey, but he helped his own cause with an RBI in the second inning. The Mets were able to get him off the hook by scoring two in the second and two more in the fifth.
The top of the Mets' order produced as Angel Pagan and Alex Cora had two hits and an RBI apiece. Jose Reyes contributed another RBI, although he's still hitting way too many balls in the air and not driving in enough runs in the third hole.
In the end, however, it was the Nationals' Roger Bernadina who would be the thorn in the Mets' side today. Usually, it's Josh Willingham. This time, Bernadina hit the first two Major League home runs of his career and drove in half of the Nationals' runs including the game winners in the ninth inning off Francisco Rodriguez. K-Rod had come into a tie game. He has not been having a good year.
The Mets failed to get anything going against Nationals closer Matt Capps.
The Mets have a tough stretch of games coming up with no days off until May 24. That'll be 17 games in a row they'll have played. They'll be facing the aforementioned Nats, Marlins and Braves, all on the road, and then finishing up with a homestand against the Yankees. The Mets will have a chance to create some major damage in their division of they can come away with a winning record during that time. Beating the Yankees at home would just be the icing on the cake.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - The Jacksonville Jaguars have fired head coach Mike Mularkey, the team announced Thursday morning.
Newly hired team General Manager David Caldwell held a meeting to dismiss Mularkey, who joined the team a year ago, the team said.
"I informed Mike today that he will not return as head coach of the Jaguars," Caldwell said in a news release. "I know Mike well and do not want anyone to misinterpret the rationale behind my decision. Mike is an excellent coach and I am sure he will succeed in his next stop in the NFL. However, I must do what I believe is best for the Jacksonville Jaguars and immediately explore every avenue possible to turn our football team around. For that to happen as seamlessly as we want, and as quickly as our fans deserve, I feel it is in everyone's best interests for an immediate and clean restart."#Jaguars twitter feed
"Mike Mularkey is leaving our organization with my utmost respect," Jaguars owner Shad Khan said. "Mike gave the Jaguars everything he had on and off the field, and his efforts as our head coach will always be appreciated. Mike will land on his feet soon. Until then, I wish nothing but the best for Mike and his family."
A news conference is scheduled for 4 p.m. Thursday, to announce the decision and introduce Caldwell, who was hired Tuesday. Khan and Jaguars President Mark Lamping will also be available.

People who have
asthma or other lung diseases that make it hard to
breathe may use an inhaler to get the medicine they need into their lungs.
Inhaled medicine works faster than the same medicine in a pill. An inhaler also
lets you take less medicine than you would if you took it as a pill.
You may have used a metered-dose inhaler in the past. But a dry powder
inhaler is different. These instructions are for using a dry powder inhaler.
A dry powder inhaler
delivers medicine in the form of a fine powder. It lets you breathe medicine
into your lungs quickly. Dry powder inhalers are breath-activated. This means
that when you breathe in through the inhaler, the inhaler releases the medicine
into your lungs.
Dry powder inhalers come in different shapes and
sizes. The way you put (load) medicine in the inhaler depends on the type of
inhaler you have. Some dry powder inhalers come with medicine already loaded
inside. With other dry powder inhalers, you put the medicine in the inhaler
each time before you use it. Your doctor or pharmacist will tell you how to
load the medicine into your inhaler.
When you use a dry powder inhaler, the medicine is
released into your lungs right away.
A dry powder inhaler is breath-activated. This
means that when you breathe in through the inhaler, the inhaler releases the
medicine into your lungs.
Continue to Why?
A dry powder
It is hard to use a dry powder
A dry powder inhaler is simple to use. It is
breath-activated, so you don't have to pump the inhaler and breathe at the same
time like you do with other inhalers.
Continue to How?
Follow these steps for using a dry powder inhaler:
When you use a dry powder inhaler, you inhale quickly
and deeply.
When you use a dry powder inhaler, you inhale
quickly and deeply through your mouth for 2 or 3 seconds. This pulls the powder
from the inhaler into your lungs.

So, I'm gonna give my two cents now that I have time (i.e. don't feel like writing essays...). First of, kudos to Ridebird for speaking up about how you feel. It's easy to miss stuff like that unless it's brought up, and it's good discussion about issues like that. But it takes some guts, so well done mate.
About the general direction of the outfit: I agree that there's seem to be some kind of assumption that people don't want any more organization which, frankly speaking, don't really seem to be based on anything. If given the option, it seems like most, if not all, regulars choose strategic. And there seem to be a lot of newer players who prefer that format as well. It has simply become a case of "it is this way because it is this way because it is this way." I think we should try to promote more tactical play, including split comms, when needed (and wanted). If there's a large amount of people who prefer not doing that: well, there is always the option of having two platoons. I think we're big enough for that.
About split comms: I've noticed quite an influx of new players since the Call to Arms. Which is great! But it feels like we're reaching the point where there are too many of us in mumble. Finding an opportunity to speak is getting increasingly harder, and you often talk over someone else when giving tactical information. There are frequent overlaps between speakers and it's honestly kind of hard to keep track of it all. This is much less of a problem when we're splitting comms. I personally know that I speak much, much more on mumble when we're split than otherwise. It's simply a matter of us getting bigger, and the channel being more manageable with 20 speakers rather than 40.
About being a more strategic in general: I approve wholeheartedly about being more focused, working together as a group better and using more tactical play. It doesn't really feel like were as good as we can be. And just like everyone before me, I'm not talking about super strict "go here, do this or you'll get shot"-strategic play, but a more helpful coordination thing. Which, I believe, is largely due to habit. It's kind of how we've played all along, and even though we've gotten better, there's quite a lot more to work on. Which brings me to the next point.
About training: Yes, yes, yes! We're all good at different things and we need to spread that experience around. I know that I have some stuff to train on when it comes to ground-based fighting, and would love to get some advice and practice. I think I've mentioned it before, but I'm also willing to help people out with "Flying 101" if there's interest. I'm probably only gonna have time and energy for the basic stuff (keybindings, how to manouver, stuff like that) this week, but I should be able to talk about the more advanced stuff (angle of attack, map awareness, area denial, weapon switching, dogfighting, etc.) from next week.
About being more aggressive: I think that this is generally true for a lot of the people playing Vanu. It's rare that people are really pushing. Personally, I prefer pushing hard. Holding a line is necessary sometimes, but just standing around and doing what amounts to farming is, in my opinion, pretty boring. If I'm playing, I want to do something worthwhile and take territory from the enemy, not just shoot people to increase my K/D (although I have to admit that I'm kind of damaged from playing with the outfit and find it impossible to farm anymore... Whenever I try I find myself ghostcapping or something like that instead. :/). Which creates some weird situations, 'cause I'm mostly playing medic nowadays. But the way I see it, I'm a combat medic and should be reviving people on the front lines. So being more aggresive is right up my alley. :P
And lastly, I think it's great that this discussion is happening. I agree with most of everything that people have written (including the part about you being a good BL, Ridebird, 'cause you are. And a good player as well), so keep it up!

More wise words from wise people. We seem to have a good lot of those, and I am humbled to be allowed to be a part of the outfit. On that note, I'd like to show you this little video. You might have seen it before, but it explains one of the most important things when trying to get a movement started.
To me, RPS feels very much like the group of people in this video, and I've seen Cooper do the same things that crazy dancing guy does in this vid; embracing people coming into the group as equals, supporting and empowering members. Making it about the group, not about himself.
So, a purple giraffe to Cooper for getting us all set up and getting the snowball rolling. Now, let's figure out where we want it to go!
So lets do it.
No more worrying if we are going to offend or step over the line. If someone does find their lines being crossed have the sense to speak up and we can see what the group feels?
Training. Sir Hoc offers flight training, I'm happy to offer some ideas about flanking, firebaseing and keeping a squad moving forward since I think I'm ok at that aspect of SLing and I already articulated a lot of my thoughts in another thread somewhere.
When do we do it? I tried to get the ball rolling the night of the great server crash and there were no takers. Start with regular SLs/BLs running about a bit in VR and get a consensus about how we should work?

The second issue is command. If you are the platoon leader, short of being rude, you should use any means necessary to get attention to follow your command. If you are a platoon leader, it means sufficient people in the outfit of a notable position have confidence in you to carry out your task. It doesn't mean as soon as you get into it you'll be perfect, but it does mean you have the right ideas. For everyone who isn't the PL, you should show your immediate respect to your PL in listening to them. If you want an organised fight you must listen which, at times, will mean shutting up. We are happy for people to talk and to get to know each other, but you still need to follow these basic rules.
Generally, we have great leaders who I am happy to serve under and I'm sure that feeling is reciprocated by everyone else. That said, leaders, if you make a mistake, it's only a game. Try and rectify it as soon as possible, but have confidence. Any decision made with confidence will be a good one, even if it turns out being wrong. No-one is going to be angry if you made that mistake, they just want to know that you're there, you're thinking and you have every intention to carry us to a good fight. Have conviction in your decisions and the platoon will be right there with you. Listen to suggestions, but don't necessarily follow them. You are the decision maker and that can and at times should mean 'my way'.
Now all of this is not directed at anyone in particular, especially the first point which is for all in the outfit. The second is as much for current PLs as it is for those who are interested or scared away from trying. Know who your leader(s) are and if you see their light flicker on the Mumble over-lay, be quiet and listen to what they have to say. It may not at all be a bad idea to re-instate the priority volume that the PL position can be given, especially if there's some sort of toggle so that the PL can join in with the random conversation and then flick to priority volume.
Dewi and I had a big of a look round a tower in VR just now with Loki and Bankrotas (the enemy!). We reckon there are a couple of general ideas and a few specifics that would make tower assaults go better.
Dewi is going to lay them out around 2130 this evening and I think we should do some drills and then go fight a few towers, any takers?

I'll try not to repeat what has been said before but will add my perspective having mostly been quiet.
PS2 is my first experience of comms. When I started I didn't expect to use voice, didn't expect to get Mumble, didn't expect to get a mike & didn't honestly expect to start getting to know the people I was playing with. It's been a learning curve and rather pleasant but certainly strange as well. So, I'm sort of socialising, sort of trying to accomplish goals, definitely not working, but I musn't take the piss too much (though I should take the piss a little) and these are real people in a place which isn't real. Cool. Also, weird.
My pitfall, obviously, is being facetious. My stupid name does reflect me but I hope it is not a summation of me! And with the limited social feedback provided in this mostly virtual environment I have to gauge whether I am toning it down enough. Am I actually just the Annoying Fucker? Don't answer that: get Wibbster to tell me! If I am toning it down too much, though, it means I am not bantering or providing feedback.
Is this actually the majority experience? X needs feedback for his suggestions but only a few people speak up because the rest of us are not used to or confident in this environment, or feel we will be misinterpreted? And our silence IS misinterpreted as opposition. (X could be you, Ridebird, obviously, but I don't want to single you out - except to say thank you for stepping up and no, I don't think of you as the Overly Serious Fucker).
I think we should be pushing things forward because though there is always fun to be had in Planetside the least fun is when we are in disarray being farmed and the most fun is when we are consistently beating a larger force because we are better organised.
That first game you play with comms will always be the hardest and depending on your out-look, will also reflect how you go into it. Some people start to see these people they play with regularly as friends, others as simply a guiding voice to play with. It's a massive hurdle to get over and one I totally understand and get; I'm not sure I would call the people I specifically say hello to or play with as being friends, but I do often ask myself what other things do you base a 'traditional' friendship on if not, at least, one thing?
There are others who will join and say nothing, not for lack of wanting to contribute, but because they're scared of how they'll be perceived or if they'll put a foot wrong. So, here's my golden piece of advice for anyone else who doesn't feel like they can or should talk:
Please, just talk.
The more who contribute to the overall discussion of the outfit, the more it can be better shaped to be a suitable home for more. It is an open community and whilst necessity demands organisation by the few, it does not mean the many are meaningless in decision making or direction heading.
Ps. I, for one, love your name and all situations it is uttered in.
I personally find that having the overlay placed on the right-hand side of the screen, just below the top but above the vehicle info thingy is really convenient.
Priority speaker is a toggle which any channel admin can set. Cooper, MrEclectic and I are the channel admins that I know of. It remains with the player until it is removed by a channel admin, and it applies to any communication from that person, mnmuting everyone else by 50% or so, when the prio speaker is speaking.
Good ideas and comments in this thread, by the way! Your notes on respect for PL/SL is especially welcome, JG! This is sometimes a problem. Not often, but sometimes.

The problems therefore are: how can we nurture the confident, competent leaders we require? and how can we ensure that new and existing members follow their lead? Mumble seems like the best tool for this; making sure leaders are always confident/assertive and ensuring that all members use mumble seems like a good place to start.
I mostly end up leading the morning and midday squad, and Ive found out some neat tricks that guarantee people working along.
countdowns are a big favourite. if something needs to happen, like say meeting up with a sundy before leaving, these work beautimously and it adds to the urgency of it all. obviously only use when rushing somewhere.
lay out the plan before hand. "Take out A then B then hug the fuck out of all three." it generally works, but mumble has to be a req. ive done it with publics with varying success. it works sometimes.
I listed these because there is never any need for rudeness. swearing is also great but only at the enemy or game mechanics.

I will comment some stuff later, but for now - dunno if I will be on much this week. I must finish Bioshock. It gripped me like no game has since I started to play PS2.. But in a single player way you know. It is shockingly good, one might say.

Good advice anyway. I am very glad I plugged in the mike and - with this outfit at least - I recommend it to anyone. Though I am not sure I can handle the sound of my own voice booming out of Hippymaster's massive sound system.

I joined up with the outfit recently and due to a glut of free time have spent a fair bit of the last week or so in game and on Mumble, completely oblivious to some of the issues you've been discussing here. Having read the last few weeks of posts I'd like to add a few things to the comments that have already been made.
Firstly, Ridebird, during beta I bounced of PS2 because it felt like I was running around midlessly getting killed. Capping Amerish with the RPS platoon was a great sense of achievement and having you (and the SLs) calling the shots made it very easy to contribute and feel useful. I like the structure and greatly prefer squad or platoon play to fooling around solo or in a PUG. Unless people really object' continung in that vein is more than fine with me!
Secondly the outfit may be RPS specific, but greater organisation can only help the faction on Miller. If we end up with less serious squad running alongside tactical squads, does that really matter? I'm hopeful people will pick the right setting to enjoy themselves if the options are there.
Thirdly, like b3ll3nd (that name always makes me smile when you log into Mumble...) this is my first online game using comms and it's a pretty new experience. I didn't like the idea at first, but now I can't help thinking playing without it would be a much poorer experience. Anything that encourages the wary to jump in to Mumble as a requirement to join the outfit should be kept.
TL;DR Keep up the good work in game, I'm proud to be a member of the outfit under you guys!
Also, welcome aboard! And you shouldn't think of yourself as being in the outfit "under" us, you're in the outfit with us. You might be playing under our lead from time to time, but that's another thing.

Chefs' Secrets: Sea Island GM re-creates taco sauce
Updated 8:52 pm, Saturday, November 24, 2012
Dear Pat: I love the fish taco sauce at Sea Island! Any chance of getting a recipe? Thank you.
Dear Diane: We are indebted to Simmons Allison, general manager at the Sea Island Shrimp House on I-10 West, for making it possible to replicate the venerable restaurant's fish taco sauce. We have learned that the Chipotle Sauce that's served on the tacos contains some proprietary ingredients that are unavailable to the public. However, Allison wanted to re-create the sauce at home, with products available at our grocery stores, and he set about to develop a product that's a dead ringer for the original. His "DIY" version is almost identical to the original.
For fish tacos, simply grill, pan-fry or sauté small fillets of fish, thinly shred some cabbage and chop up some tomato. Tuck it all into corn tortillas along with a big dollop of Chipotle Sauce, and serve with cilantro and a wedge of lime to squeeze over top.
The sauce is incredibly easy to prepare using canned chipotle chiles in adobo sauce. Chipotle peppers are dried, smoked jalapeño peppers that boast a fair amount of heat. They're sold in their dried state, pickled or canned in adobo sauce. Any leftover chipotle peppers in their adobo sauce can be stored in the freezer.
Sea Island's Chipotle Sauce is also versatile. Use it as a spread on a turkey sandwich (we know you still have some in the refrigerator after Thanksgiving), or slather it on a burger. Fold some into mashed sweet potatoes where the heat of the chiles counters the sweetness of the potatoes, or use it as a dip for sweet potato fries. Zip up your chicken salad with a tablespoon or two added to the plain mayonnaise. The sauce will do wonders for a bowl of beans and rice, too. Thanks, Simmons!
Sea Island Shrimp House has six San Antonio locations: 10303 I-10 W. between Wurzbach and Huebner by the Colonnade; 322 W. Rector St. behind North Star Mall; 5959 NW Loop 410 off Ingram Road in front of Best Buy; 2119 NW Military Drive close to South Park Mall; 8223 Agora Parkway in the Forum Shopping Center; and 11715 Bandera Road in Bandera Pointe Shopping Center.
