Well I had a chance to spend some quality time playing Blitz and thought I would share my thoughts as someone who has been a Rock Band player since day 1. This will likely get long as I am going to more philosophical that technical. :P
I am not one to read all the press on a new game, I like to make decisions for myself and tend to skip a lot of the hype and speculation... So some of this info may have been "reported" elsewhere but this is my own personal perspective, free of any outside influence.
First, I will say that this game is fun. At first glance via screenshots and even game play videos it is not something that is easy to see and I can see why people given this as an evaluation tool could give a quick Meh and move on.
Now when I say its fun I mean, FUN. Like Tetris style addictive game play fun. You WANT to play again and the scoring system is such that you can DRAMATICALLY improve scores, not just incrementally.
Things like "optimized" pathing may be possible but when you add in the all the multiplier variables and power up options it makes this task considerably more difficult than your standard single instrument chart path optimization.
The two buttons on a track game play is MORE than enough to deal with as your mind is now dealing with tracking multiple paths, multiple multipliers, track switching (two more buttons) and power-up usage/execution. To say it is mental exercise is an understatement.
For me the Rock Band experience has always been about the music and one of my primary concerns with Rock Band Blitz was having the game be such that the game was taking away from the music. That may sound confusing to gamers but I hope it makes sense to the hard core music fan that plays Rock Band.
This is a concern that was quickly removed.
After my second play through my foot was tapping away and I was "rocking out" while playing Blitz. I was interacting with the music. There was that satisfaction that I was concerned about losing by the game using the controller. Was it the same as expert pro charts on my full Roland drum kit? Of course not but is it the ideal thing to do when I don't want the physical demands of playing the drums? Absolutely!
The depth of the game far exceeds what can be grasped as an observer and there are dynamics at play with the undulating tracks that really have you paying attention to so much at once that you are pulled into the game as an environment and the graphics and presentation support that with beauty and detail. It is easy to want to read signs and marquees and lose track of what you were doing.
The tutorial does a good job of explaining the basics and can have anyone playing Blitz in just a few minutes. It will however take even the most seasoned rocker considerable time to master.
The new songs are exciting to me as it's been a while since we had a "pack" of this size to add to our libraries but I really wanted to stress that after playing this game, if you are planning on buying it to export and are somehow stubborn enough to be dug in on saying you wont play it, you really need to play it.
I played One Week as my first song and I was smiling like a lunatic to dance back and forth on the crazy vocal track that song has. Next was Metal Health and the guitar was a blast via two buttons and to say I was rocking out would be an understatement.
I played several songs over the course of three sessions and had a chance to download my thoughts with a developer right after the last session and that really shaped this review as it helped me to understand what I was thinking by verbalizing. (Thanks Aaron!)
I really enjoyed the plug-and-play nature of the games total lack of difficulty settings beyond the songs themselves. It takes a ton of base-line intimidation out of the game for new players as they are not pressured at the song selection screen to prove how tough or cool they are by selecting a difficulty setting. I really like that.
This game will be accessible to anyone who loves fast paced arcade game play that requires a "heads up" approach and calls on the skills of the most advanced multi-tasker out there. A gamer could have tons and tons of fun with the on-disc songs alone. This is a game that can take you into the wee hours of the morning trying to eke out an extra star on a song.
For the seasoned Rock band player this game gives you a reason to revisit songs you may not have played in years. It makes your DLC new again and I can say without reservation I am looking forward to getting the game and playing Say It Aint So in it as the first song as a nod to that first gig the first time I played Rock Band.
In closing I want to say I am stoked for Harmonix to get to flex some developer muscle by making this downloadable game as a true independent company and to have come up with such a winner of a game. It really gets me excited to see what Harmonix is capable of both in and OUT of the music game genre.
These are exciting times for fans of Harmonix and I am really looking forward to the future.
I am happy to answer any questions as I am sure I left out info that I have now after playing that may be on your minds.
Rock On!
TLDR version: Try it, you will like it.

Andrew Avis, a construction safety consultant on vacation from the United Kingdom, has been stranded in New York since Saturday.
He and his wife, Sandy, marked their 38th wedding anniversary on the Amtrak train from Orlando on Friday night - but were planning to splash out more lavishly when they arrived in New York, before traveling on to visit friends in Rhode Island.
Instead, they found their train out of New York on Sunday was canceled and were forced to hole up in the city as it braced itself for the incoming storm.
"I wasn't anticipating coming here with two Sandys," said Avis, 64.
Their Manhattan hotel was buffeted by high winds but the streets around it were left largely unscathed as the storm rolled in. The couple might have tried to stay on longer in New York but learned Tuesday night that the hotel couldn't extend their booking, so they were trying to rent a car Wednesday morning to drive the 250 miles to their Rhode Island destination and fly out of Boston on Friday.
"We still don't know if we have a plane out of Boston on Friday," said Avis. "That's the next problem."
Stranded far from home
As the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions struggle to return to some semblance of normalcy after Superstorm Sandy, many visitors are stuck where they are for the moment. At the same time, residents of affected areas remain stranded in California, Illinois and other locations far from home.
And yet it could have been so much worse: Airports filled with stranded travelers sleeping on chairs. Harried airline ticket agents unable to rebook people on already full flights. Airport food courts running out of essential ingredients as the delays dragged on.
When Sandy was a tropical storm heading toward the Caribbean, airlines began addressing several chief concerns: rebooking or canceling flights for passengers scheduled to fly during the storm's expected landfall; protecting their multimillion dollar aircraft; and placing those planes and crews in position to resume service quickly after the storm passed.
"They did everything right," said aviation analyst Michael Boyd. They anticipated problems, canceled flights early and staged planes properly. "
"We really expected it to be like a snowstorm ... with hundreds of people sitting in blankets (at the airport) and the food court running out of food."
Paying attention to the warning signs
JetBlue moved more than 60 aircraft and their crews out of Boston Logan International Airport and New York City's John F. Kennedy International Airport days before Sandy was expected to hit both cities. Some planes were parked at the Orlando and Fort Lauderdale airports, where JetBlue offers service. But other planes parked temporarily at the airport in Roswell, New Mexico, where JetBlue doesn't offer service.
Informed travelers paid attention to the storm tracking reports and acted quickly when the opportunity came up to change their flights, said Brett Snyder, who operates the Cranky Flier website and concierge service.
"Some people drop the trip, and we saw a lot of that this week," said Snyder. "If you haven't started your trip, your meeting yesterday was probably canceled. With most airlines, you should sit and wait and see if the flight cancels or not because you can get a refund if it cancels. Or you can decide to take a credit."
People in the middle of a trip to the potentially hard-hit areas can decide to leave before the storm arrives.
"The key there is to do it early because the planes will fill up," he said. "Be decisive in those situations even though (the weather) might speed up or slow down. When they give you flexibility, take advantage of it."
Passengers simply connecting at any of the airports in Sandy's path needed to be rerouted as well, said Jim Osborne, Virtuoso's vice president of air, space and specialty products.
"We had a passenger flying from Israel connecting through New York to South Carolina, and we rerouted him through Miami instead," said Osborne.
Perspective from a safe place
Susan Kelleher of Philadelphia was stranded in Atlanta after she and her husband traveled there Friday for a wedding. After seeing their US Airways flights to Philadelphia canceled a couple times while they played unexpected tourists in Atlanta on Monday, the next flight home wasn't going to be available until Thursday, November 1.
So they decided to change their destination. US Airways allowed the couple to change their flight. Instead of landing in Philadelphia on Tuesday, they flew first to Charlotte and then to Richmond, Virginia. There, they rented a car for the five-hour drive home.
"The airline has been more than accommodating with vouchers," said Kelleher. "They're losing money on this, and they were happy to check all kinds of different alternatives for you."
"Up and down the East Coast, my people are fine and I am so grateful for that," she said.

Want to know how this works? Read all about it here.
- Before you make the risotto, heat oven to 220C/fan 200C/gas 7. Toss the squash in 1 tbsp oil together with the chopped sage. Scatter into a shallow roasting tin and roast for 30 mins until it is brown and soft.
- While the squash is roasting, prepare the risotto. Bring the stock to the boil and keep on a low simmer. In a separate pan, melt half the butter over a medium heat. Stir in the onions and sweat gently for 8-10 mins until soft but not coloured, stirring occasionally. Stir the rice into the onions until completely coated in the butter, then stir continuously until the rice is shiny and the edges of the grain start to look transparent.
- Pour in the wine and simmer until totally evaporated. Add the stock, a ladleful at a time and stirring the rice over a low heat for 25-30 mins, until the rice is cooked al dente (with a slightly firm, starchy bite in the middle). The risotto should be creamy and slightly soupy. When you draw a wooden spoon through it, there should be a wake that holds for a few moments but not longer.
- At the same time, gently fry the whole sage leaves in a little olive oil until crisp, then set aside on kitchen paper. When the squash is cooked, mash half of it to a rough purée and leave half whole. When the risotto is just done, stir though the purée, then add the cheese and butter and leave to rest for a few mins. Serve the risotto scattered with the whole chunks of squash and the crisp sage leaves.
Recipe from Good Food magazine, September 2008
Comments, questions and tips
Delicious. After reading the comments I swapped to a red onion, and added the toasted pine nuts (thanks petes fanny!) which totally made the dish amazing. I left out the deep fried sage leaves as I burnt them, didn't add butter at the end and it went down a treat. About to make it for the second time, can't wait!
Trying to be healthier and cut down on eating meat, I made this for a change. I love butternut squash and it is delicious in this recipe. I had to roast the cubed squash about 10 mins longer than suggested to soften them enough to mash. I omitted the wine (as I didn't have any and was also serving this to my little one) and also didn't crisp the sage leaves but it still tasted amazing. Even my husband who cannot eat a meal without meat wanted seconds! Finely grated parmesan on top of the risotto gave a lovely flavour and complimented the dish really well. Will definitely make this one again! Fabulous winter warmer!
Beautiful, I halved the quantity which worked very well. I used a low fat spread instead of proper butter & I really couldn't tell the difference, it was still very tasty & creamy. I thought it might not be very filling so I made a side dish of oven roasted sweet potatoe fries, these went very well with the dish, but in future I won't bother because it is so filling on it's own. I didn't have any sage but not needed in my opinion also, I did not have any arborio rice so I used Tilda which worked very well.
My family absolutely loved this dish, it was a breeze to make and we will definitely add this to our favourites list. I forgot to serve the parmesan on this occasion, it was delicious without it, so it will obviously taste even better next time. The crispy sage leaves are something I haven't tried before and tasted divine. An excellent recipe all-round to which you could easily add a personal twist.

Price drops for NFL Sunday Ticket
Last week DirectTV announced they were dropping the price for their NFL Sunday Ticket pacakge to $199. Previously priced at around $325, DirectTV has shrewdly dropped the price although they've segregated some features away from the $199 package that will cause many people to shell out $299. The extra $100 will get you the ability to stream to mobile devices, the GameMix (8 games crammed onto 1 TV!), highlights On-Demand, and the wildly popular Red Zone Channel.
So why would it be smart to drop the price considering DirectTV has exclusivity for the package?
The first thing is that a year ago, DirectTV offered the package for free for people who signed for DirectTV leading up to the season. This promotion added a very hefty 300,000 subscribers.
So right there you have presumably a six figure audience who joined and didn't have to pay for this service. Dropping the price from $325 to $199 will probably allow a lot of those folks to now pay for the service, which is a luxury that I put on par with air conditioning, high speed internet, and high definition (basically I can never go back once I've had them).
The other thing is that out of the 2-3 million households that have the package, I'd imagine most will go the route for the higher priced package as the Red Zone channel is football in its most potent form other than being in attendance at an actual game. It's for the addict who wants to see everything and is totally superior to flipping around during commercials trying to catch a glimpse of something interesting. The other features have some value (especially mobile device streaming) but a lot of it is just window dressing to inflate the value of that higher end package.
All in all, DirectTV may make more money by getting more people to pay and not get comped the package this year. The price drop also helps them decrease the value of what they comp to customers like me. A year ago or so, I posted how every year I go through this charade of calling DirectTV feigning that I will leave before they offer me a package of stuff to stay.
Seriously, if you're paying full price for DirecTV and haven't been given a discount in over a year, read the link above as you're getting nailed to the wall. I'd never consider leaving, but the annual call yields the package for free and about $200-$300 of other discounts.
This year when I make the call if I get offered the package for free (the $199 no frills package) and another $250 of other discounts, my total amount saved by being a full of shit perfectly happy customer financially prudent customer will be $450 ($199+$250+$1 because rounding is awesome). The $100 upgrade for the Red Zone Channel is now coming out of my pocket and not bundled in with what I would be getting for free.
It's not hard to imagine that DirectTV is giving out the package to acquire and retain customers to potentially up to a 1/4th of 2-3 million households that get the package. If the value of what you're giving away for free goes down and more subscribers add the package, then it's very possible the price decrease actually helps the bottom line regardless of the value assigned to new subscribers, which the package is really aimed to harvest.
In a nutshell, the fall can't come soon enough.

Silence - Adam Campbell
Why do we run? Arc'teryx athlete Adam Campbell tells his "why" in a story with no words.
Surrounded by the noise of the city, a noise that can drown out our ability to fully listen to what our bodies are telling us, the video highlights how it can disconnect us from the places that we're running in and although running becomes an escape - it isn't always relaxing.
"The noise and bustle of a city often make my running feel tense and forced and I often feel like I'm trying to run away from it all," said Campbell, one of Canada's most renowned Ultra Runners.
"My greatest pleasures in running are those times when I'm not trying to run away, but rather, when I'm fully immersed in the moment. I find those moments when I'm running high in the mountains, when all I can hear are my footsteps on the trail, my breath and the sounds of nature around me. During these runs, I feel most in tune with my body and the places I'm running, making the act effortless and highly meditative. That quiet effort brings incredible inner peace and gives me a deep appreciation of the places I'm moving through," Campbell said.
Directed by Austin Siadak (cinematographer & editor on The Gimp Monkeys) the film is shot on the streets of Vancouver and the high country around Whistler, Silence is the story of every runner, climber and skier who chases their passion rather than the modern world's trappings.
It is an unusual way to depict the peace of running - via sound, but Austin was inspired after a run in Seattle trying to clear his head of his growing daily task list.
"I came up with the idea to tell a story about the challenge that so many of us face in trying to quiet the noise of city life and create silence in our lives. I wanted to capture that shared experience, and it seemed natural and fitting to use sounds instead of words to tell that story." Says Siadak.

If you ever want to get an immediate reaction out of any of us full-timers, innocently pose this question from November to April:
"So, do you all head to Florida when the park's not open? Do you even go into work?"
The answers are "no" and "heck yes." About 80 of us stay plenty busy during the cooler months.
Here, for example, is a photo of Eric's desk.
Eric is our Special Events & Projects Director. He's the guy heading up our Happy Halloween Weekends event for 2012.
...but you could probably figure that out on your own.
Are you starting to look forward to next October's event? Please tell us what you're looking forward to and we'll let Eric know. And if you have any ideas not on this list, please post a comment below (click "Add new comment").

I walk 2 and a half turns and name a tile, settle next to whale and dye with 2 trees. 1st warrior takes down a barb for a caravan, 2nd warrior finds a newly created mongol city at 3000, I threaten them for 25g, give them the caravan and sell them HBR next turn. sell a warrior and have my 100g at 2900. I see a tile get named by me and rush a horse on the hill to check it out and its maw. he attacks and looses 1-1.5. I figured since he was close I would rush a boat to surprise him but as soon as i land my militia he has a unit there waiting and kills my militia with a horse. I take my boat with a HA around him looking for the Roman AI he keeps declaring war on. I eventually find it 6 turns later and kill his warrior army that has been attacking it and take rome next turn for CoL. next turn he brings his own horse army down by i am fast enough to take my horse army out of the roman cap and put an archer in there. He then says its pretty much over and attacks the archer as an afterthought takes it out and i take out his horse army with mine. game over GG. 1-0 ME
2nd game reverse of last
Me English Maw Indian
I settle a turn and a half in. 1st barb gives me 30g and i bump into aztec, sell them monarchy for 35g. Maw takes out the russians and maw tells me the germans had just given russia a caravan before he took their cap. my next barb gives me a spy and shows me 7CoG so i put the spy into german cap for 30g and get my settler. The game just takes off from there. settle 100g city on a great spot with dye whale a game and take 7 CoG, take german cap with HA and my militia grabs a friendly for feudalism. I rush a barracks in 100g city and kick out 2 knight armys while heading to maws cap i steal his caravan and he gives up. by then i was going to be grabbing AW for GW and SoC in 4 turns once i had first GP. I win 2-0
oh and i love that you changed it from open a can of wipass to half can of soda lol

He's mean man.......
Grizz vs Multi.....I would like to say these are epic like I was hoping but they werent....Multi caught some hell
Gm 1 Blades Spain(Host) vs Multi Egypt
Well I knew rome was in the game from a barb and multi got stonehenge so that stunk. I take a barb at 3800 off a named tile. Then it gets interesting. I take two steps and get a friendly for a caravan. It shows me multi settled next to a barb 3 tiles away. So I walk 3 tiles south and get a second friendly.....causing mutlis barb to grow 2 in between turns and take him out......
Gm2 Multi Spain(Host) vs Blades (England)
I walk and name a tile and see thebes. I walk around it and find a friendly for a spy so I settle and take them next turn. My spy runs into Multis settlers the turn I take thebes(HGB). Multi walks north and takes Zulu. This gives me a hut the zulu would have taken but it didnt matter as I got pottery. So I attack zimbabwe at about 3000 bc with a HA and lose a 6-4 so he keeps it and Im set back 60 hammers. So I send a horse south to madrid. I win a 2-2 to an archer then he loses a 1-1 attacking that horse. I get the walk in next turn and he attacks 1-1 and loses again to my horse. Thats was pretty unlucky multi. GGs but crappy starts.
2-0 Blades
Week 4 games in agains Liam
1. Liams Zulu crushed my China. We startet to close for my liking. I had almost no gold when he took out Athens for democracy. Diffficult for me to expand much and had no really chance here.
2. My America beat his America. Liam took out Kyoto and I flipped it shortly after. Got a quick HA out and controlled the map. Liam called it when It took out Athens for democracy.
GGS Liam
So I have 2 games and I choose between India, England, Rome and Germany?
@Duke: I could probably play tonight at 8 pm EST. I am coming back from vacation and am off tomorrow. I hope I can make it back tonight, depends on the flight and train. If not, then we'll probably have to shoot for the weekend, even though I will be away Saturday.
If I make it back tonight, I will be online around 8 EST. If not, Sunday some time after 1 pm EST seems like a good plan
when are you going to be on itz?
wont make it today,sry duke. sunday it is
My English beat Dan's English...
we both got decent gold. he took out the arabs and gemans, and grabbed the kt. i froze out and it messed me up a little, but not too bad. his tech hung at 6 and i figured he was going for early knights. i was about done for but i had a nice double dye/fish island near by, along with collosus egypt to the south. i should have sent my vet WA there immediatly to attack from a hill. instead i waited to bring up a HA. it was slowed considerably when it had to take out the kt, and then got wounded by an egyptian legion. when i finally attacked i tried to save a spy i had (stupid). my WA of course lost 6-15, but failed to wound at all. i then used the spy and lost my HA 12-12. meanwhile i got ga and could flip a dye/game city of denied's. it seemed like a setup but when he got the ark i knew if i didn't flip it i would lose the chance. sure enough he had a HA on a hill overlooking it. when he parked his vet galley on one of the dye squares of my 3 pop, double dye library city i called it. he was going to bring fundy KA's and i wasn't going to be ready.
Hey its cwis. Can you play tomorrow between 10 am and 3 pm? I have to go to Norway tomorrow to attend my son's confirmation and won't be back until monday. Or, if it's ok with Grizz we can play it on monday. Otherwise I have no problem forfeiting, but remember I was allowed to join the league if I promised to play all my matches..
REM... not sure what time zone you are on. I can play Sunday night... likely about 7 pm CST or later.
Ade, Cwiz is on now at the times you posted and you are not online. He didn't post to confirm he could play those times because he can't make it to the forums to post but he can read quickly and seen that he should be there.
Sorry. It's been a busy week and now I'm om my way to the airport. I've been checking the forum throughout the day by iphone, ready to run and play, but alas
My Germans beat Dan's Indians. He got the best possible island start, but it wasn't enough. I got AW 4 pop Beijing and Arabs with a march fundy WA... He got 7cog and KT, not really even starts but thats the way it goes... I went to demo and was teching up like mad. Got Monarchy and flipped his city, he took it back and we made peace. Once he saw I already had knights he quit. Was bringing a Vet galleon fleet with a few KA's in a few turns... GG's you were screwed from the start...
Sorry, meant to say if you have to be on an island, that is the one you want to be on. I knew the map in about 10 turns and where 7cog was. Don't remember there being KT but I remember there being AW every time. Ohh and I killed his boat early 1-1 which hurt him some, he may have taken Tripoli but it was unlikely. I was to far away so he couldn't touch me. What I meant when I said it wasn't really an even start was that I had a way bigger advantage...
yeah, i never encountered any other cities after losing the galley. it could have been a much different game if he hadn't found me then, but it sounds like he knew where i was by map memory. i expanded out to 5 cities and was making LA's in dehli. his flip slowed me down a couple turns, but not so much. i had just finished math and could have brought a decent force to him. i probably would have encountered his fleet while on the way. bottom line is he already knew where paris was, and then it was dehli ftw. i was sleepy and saved him the trouble.
So duke vs rem today and cwis vs ade tomorrow right??
I went ahead and posted the match-ups for the rest of the season. If anyone has recommendations for future grudge matches or teirs etc that they want to be used as themes please post them. The last 7 weeks still dont have themes posted yet.
ok just throwing out some ideas for future themes back when I played player matches with "rules" to change the pace or length of the game
jesus rule: no attacking each other until year 0
alone at last: no attacking each other until the AI is taken out completely.
1st to non domination victory, no attacking of cap allowed but city attacks are ok
MEGA city: no making of additional cities, 100g settler needs to be placed in your cap, taking of AI cap and cities is ok for expansion (makes the placement of your cap all important, I see greece, japan, and egypt being powerhouses in this challenge)
Ancient Wars: cannot research past ancient. obviously you cannot help getting tech from taking cities but if you do you cannot use any of the tech earned past 4 tech. I see spain and england as powerhouses in this one
Duke and I will try to get our games (or at least one) in tonight.
ade and cwis, whats the word?? as far as I know you guys are supposed to be playing today we need to get into the next wee of play
REM... I'm online and ready to play.

by Judith Hayn
Smith, J. E. (2012). The storm makers. New York, NY: Little, Brown, and Co.
Twelve-year-old Ruby and Simon live in an old farmhouse in rural Wisconsin after their parents quit their jobs and moved the twins from suburban Chicago so the adults could pursue their dreams. Dad, a former science teacher, yearns to invent an energy-making machine while Mom, a florist, hopes to become an artist. Ruby would really like leave this boring existence and hopes the worst drought in 100 years will force the family to return.
However, a glitch occurs when Simon begins to demonstrate the innate powers of a Storm Maker, someone who can stabilize the weather. As the youngest one ever, Simon has to choose which mentor to follow, the enigmatic Otis who suddenly appears at the farm, or the slick and polished Chairman of the Makers of Storms Society, Rupert London. Add to the mix their kindly neighbor Daisy, also a Storm Maker, and the race is on to help Simon harness his powers. Will the plucky and scientifically-gifted Ruby be able to sway her brother to ignore the wiles of London whose goal is to punish humanity for deliberately destroying the planet and follow Otis instead?
Using part magic and part science, the plot intensifies until the ultimate climax on a train heading from Chicago back to the Wisconsin farm with enough twists and turns to keep tween readers mesmerized.
Dr. Judith A. Hayn is an Associate Professor at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock.

General Comments: Futures were a little lower as traders move out of May positions before the deliveries start in the next couple of weeks. Ideas are that supplies are good for now and can only increase down the road. The new Brazilian harvest is just a couple of months away, and traders expected big offers to develop on rallies. No one had been paying much attention to the reports of rust in Central America and parts of South America and prefer to concentrate on Brazil and also on improving production conditions in Vietnam. Rains have increased in Vietnam and crop conditions have improved. Current crop development is still good this year in Brazil, and there are showers around. Production ideas remain big there. Central America crops are mostly harvested. Colombia is reported to have good conditions.
Overnight News: Certified stocks are higher today and are about 2.749 million bags. The ICO composite price is now 128.85 ct/lb. Brazil should get scattered showers. Temperatures will average near to above normal. Colombia should get a few showers, and Central America and Mexico should get mostly dry conditions. A few showers are posible in northern Central America and southeastern Mexico. Temperatures should average near to above normal.
Chart Trends: Trends in New York are mixed. Support is at 135.00, 134.00, and 132.00 May, and resistance is at 141.00, 144.00, and 147.00 May. Trends in London are down with objectives of 1990, 1980, and 1955 May. Support is at 1970, 1950, and 1915 May, and resistance is at 2030, 2045, and 2060 May. Trends in Sao Paulo are mixed. Support is at 168.00, 166.00, and 163.00 September, and resistance is at 174.00, 176.00, and 177.00 September.
General Comments: Futures were lower again yesterday on reports of speculator and commercial long liquidation. Ideas of weaker demand are surfacing after the recent rally, and ideas are that the selling will continue for the rest of the week. Some traders think that US planted area will increase from the estimates released at the end of March due to more favorable Cotton futures prices and sinking Corn and Soybeans futures prices. Weather will be watched as more wet weather in the Delta and Southeast could create less interest in Corn and more in Cotton to avoid having Corn pollinate in the hottest time of the year. Demand ideas remain strong overall based on the strong export paces seen in the USDA reports in recent weeks and on reports of tight domestic and world cash markets, but export demand is a little less lately.
Overnight News: The Delta and Southeast will see mostly dry weather except for rain Wednesday and Thursday. Temperatures will trend to below normal this week. Texas will get dry weather. Temperatures will average near to below normal this week but will warm up again this weekend. The USDA spot price is now 80.17 ct/lb. ICE said that certified Cotton stocks are now 0.431 million bales, from 0.427 million yesterday.
Chart Trends: Trends in Cotton are down with objectives of 82.00, 78.85, and 74.95 May. Support is at 84.00, 82.60, and 81.40 May, with resistance of 86.10, 87.10, and 87.80 May.
Next page: Orange Juice, Sugar and Cocoa
General Comments: Futures closed higher as traders prepared for the USDA production reports today. Ideas are that USDA could drop production estimates by another 1.0 million boxes in its reports this week. Greening disease and what it might mean to production prospects continues to be a primary support item. Weather is good for production overall, but more rain is needed. Irrigation is widespread, even with some rains late last week. Temperatures are warm in the state, and conditions are dry, and talk about the potential for more fruit drop and poor development of the crop for next year continues. The Valencia harvest is continuing. Brazil is seeing near to above normal temperatures and scattered showers.
Overnight News: Florida weather forecasts call for mostly dry conditions, but some precipitation is likely on Friday. Temperatures will average near to above normal.
Chart Trends: Trends in FCOJ are up with objectives of 152.00 May. Support is at 142.00, 140.00, and 135.00 May, with resistance at 150.00, 153.00, and 156.00 May.
General Comments: Futures closed mixed to a little lower in consolidation trading. Nearby months were a little higher in New York on ideas of more logistical problems in Brazil and on reports of slow shipments from there. Most traders remain bearish on ideas that big production will be available to the market as the Brazil harvest is processed and comes to market. Traders know that there might be less production in India and Thailand, but expect Brazil to produce enough to cover any losses. The market could be in a new down trend. So far, no new demand is being reported, and chart patterns continue to look weak. Reports indicate that Brazil will start harvesting next month and that a big offer is expected. Exports from Brazil continue to be very strong overall despite the port problems.
Overnight News: Scattered showers are expected in Brazil. Temperatures should average near to above normal. ICE said that 394 delivery notices were made against May contracts of Sugar 16.
Chart Trends: Trends in New York are mixed to down with objectives of 1725 and 1610 July. Support is at 1760, 1740, and 1710 July, and resistance is at 1790, 1800, and 1810 July. Trends in London are mixed to down with objectives of 486.00 and 481.00 August. Support is at 487.00, 484.00, and 481.00 August, and resistance is at 496.00, 500.00, and 505.00 August.
General Comments: Futures closed higher again as traders wait for the mid-crop harvest in western Africa. The flow of Cocoa from western Africa is weaker, and traders wonder about the quality and size of the mid-crop after some hot and dry weather during the growing season. However, weather has improved in western Africa lately with more rain and somewhat cooler temperatures. Demand remains a big problem, with analysts looking for lower grind data from Europe when the data is released next Wednesday. For now, traders expect mid-crop production from West Africa to hit the market soon, and wire reports said that the harvest started this week in Nigeria. Malaysia and Indonesia crops appear to be in good condition and weather is called favorable.
Overnight News: Scattered showers are expected in West Africa. Temperatures will average near to above normal. Malaysia and Indonesia should see episodes of isolated showers. Temperatures should average near normal. Brazil will get mostly dry conditions and warm temperatures. ICE certified stocks are lower today at 4.620 million bags.
Chart Trends: Trends in New York are up with objectives of 2240 and 2370 May. Support is at 2170, 2140, and 2110 May, with resistance at 2220, 2260, and 2285 May. Trends in London are mixed to up with objectives of 1400, 1490, and 1565 May. Support is at 1450, 1430, and 1410 May, with resistance at 1495, 1520, and 1550 May.

Final Sale
Seamless Dot Tank
Item# 9036836
Sorry, this item is no longer available!
- Jacquard dot stretch knit offers allover smoothing
- Bra-friendly straps
- Ideal under sheer tops, sweaters, even a suit jacket
- Nylon Spandex Blend
- Machine wash, gentle cycle.
- Imported
Super Tight!
I normally wear an x-small or small with Limited clothes, so I ordered the small, and it is very very very tight (especially in the bust area-I'm a c cup). I'm not even sure sizing up to a medium would be comfortable. The polka dot print is very cute, but I will be returning this cami because of the material and sizing.
March 3, 2013
I Really Wanted to Love This
I was expecting the shirt to be a little looser, and I really should have read what material it was before I bought it. It was too tight and spandex-y for me and not the kind of tank I was looking for, so I returned it. If you're looking for that type of material, it's definitely the shirt for you! Other than that, I really had no complaints.
February 27, 2013
Runs small!
Normally, I order mostly XS-S from The Limited with no issues. I'm a Couture Card holder and I've spent thousands here in the last few years, so I usually feel very comfortable ordering online. However, this top runs very small! I ordered a Small, and it seems more like an XXS. The green with navy dots is very cute, but be prepared for a skin-tight stretchy shirt that shows everything underneath.
December 29, 2012
I got this tank for Christmas to go with the Yellow cardigan and I LOVED it! I can dress is up for work or even just to go out. I would recommend this for anyone!
December 27, 2012
Love Polka Dots
I am a fan of the Limited Tanks. They are the perfect layer for all seasons. This particular tank with the polka dots adds some interest to layering and makes a fun fashion statement.
December 19, 2012
Great for layering!
I love wearing the seamloss dot tank underneath the dot sweater! It looks adorable peeking through the dotted sweater. Runs a bit small - I sized up.

I am 40 and pregnant with my first. I have been type 1 for 32 years and have used 'N' my entire life. My blood sugars are not perfect, they never have been. My A1C was 7 and the doctor wants it closer to 6 but while I have been pregnant my blood sugars have gone way down. When you have had it for so long your body often does not give you the warning signs that you are having a reaction. Someone I know has had type 1 for 15 years. She delivered a healthy baby boy the old fashioned way. She rarely took insulin, ate cupcakes, and drank regular Pepsi all the time. She is overweight and always has been. Her son is now 4 years old and the teachers at the daycare have been telling her they think the child is gifted. If you want to get pregnant, go for it, your blood sugars are at a healthy level! Good luck with everything!
Have you thought about getting on an insulin pump?
"Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and wisdom to know the difference.:
I talked to my doctor about the pump, but I don't want to get it unless I have to. I don't like the idea of having something attached to me. Although, I do have a CGM and I love it. Does the pump really help control sugars, or is just more convenient than doing shots?
I actually felt the same way. I've been type 1 for 21 years and had no desire to have to rely on a piece of equipment when I did just fine on shots. I've been on an Animas pump now for about 5 months and had my first A1c under 7 without even really trying. I'm at a 6.3 and I'm 10 weeks pregnant. It doesn't mean perfect blood sugar by any means, but it has meant much tighter control than I had with Lantus.
Be who you are and say what you feel cause those that mind don't matter and those that matter don't mind. - Dr. Seuss
Having a pump really depends on the type of person you are. I have a pump and have had it four years now and would never go back. It is not inconvenient, or at least it never has been for me. Dresses have been my only issue with the pump. My levels also went into even better control on the pump. Granted I too have always taken good care of my levels. If you feel you want the pump, go for it. If not, do not worry about it.
How long does it take to get used to the pump? I have been trying hard to work on my sugars for the past couple of months to get ready for pregnancy. If I get a pump, will it take me a long time to get adjusted to it? I was hoping to be ready for pregnancy in the next few months.
Well, when I first started, I immediately had a difference in my glucose levels, a good change. The first few days of being on the pump, I was calling my educator every three hours making sure everything was going well. The doctors will guide you through the process till you are used to it. If an adjustment is needed, they will tell you how to do it. It is great. Right now being pregnant, my levels are perfect. But we had to adjust my pump just right to the changes in my body. But everything is going well. :)
It didn't take very long to get used to it. I had some issues with my infusion sets at first. Everyone is different, but it took me a month or two to get "used" to it. For me personally, having the pump deliver basal insulin instead of taking a shot of Lantus every night made the biggest difference in my numbers. That and the ability to use a combo bolus with meals. That has kept me from having spikes after meals. With my pregnancy, I haven't had to make any huge changes yet, I've actually reduced my basal rates slightly. I'm sure that will be changing soon though. Its a big step, but if you're already used to watching your numbers, it shouldn't be a difficult adjustment.
OK, this is a little unrelated to the original question, but since you are talking about getting a pump... to anyone who has one: what is it like trying to be intimate when on the pump? Can you disconnect it? Is there still a wire or insert or something? I'm used to being completely free of anything attached to me (except wedding/engagement rings) when having s-x and I'm concerned it would be a distraction or inconvenience.
What do you all do? What has been your experience? Has your man thought it un-sexy?
I have never had a problem. My guy said that he didn't care, he said it is sexy. My pump is pink and he thinks it is cute. I have both worn it and had it off during sex. I suggest to have it off though because I have accidentally hit my guy wearing it. lol. When it is off, I still have the part attached to me in, but the tubing and device is off. Having a pump did not change what he thought, as I am sure your guy would be the same. It has never been a distraction.
I agree! If your man loves you for who you are he won't care what your wearing as long as your healthy! It doesnt get in the way for me since i wear an omnipod and its wireless!
I am 27, diagnosed with T1 Diabetes in October 2005. I have two daughters. The first was born in 2007 and the second in 2009. I was on Novalog and Lantus from 2005-June 2011. Throughout both pregnancies. None of my doctors said anything about the Lantus not being approved. Both of my children were and still are completely healthy. I now have the Animas One Touch Ping Pumping System (got it in June 2011) and wish I would have had that when I was pregnant.
My pump has never gotten in the way during sex. Like Marian Tow, I've worn it during and disconnected during. I was a little worried that my husband would find me less sexy, but that is not an issue at all. He is actually turned on by me being able to handle things that he doesn't think he would be able to (needles and such). TiffS is right "If your man loves you for who you are he won't care what your wearing".
Fear not! I'm a type 1 who is currently 22 weeks pregnant with a very healthy little boy, and as long as you're willing to do the work, you can have a 'normal' pregnancy. I'd say to research type 1 and pregnancy because from the second trimester on, blood sugar levels and insulin needs will start to change rapidly. If you are really opposed to a pump, you can still take Lantus but it is a little less reliable than what a pump can deliver but by no means unsafe. When I found out I was pregnant, I was totally unprepared and had an A1C of 8.9 (in September) but I've managed to bring that down to a 5.9 (which is exactly where my doctors want me). To get to this point, I saw my Perinatologist (high risk OB) and a diabetic educator or my Endo every week during my first trimester, I got on a pump back in October, and I accepted that I have a rollercoaster ride ahead. I now see my doctors every other week and they're supportive and brag on me every time I go in (which they should cause I'm doing rather well). I would advise getting on a pump at least while pregnant because it's truly simplified my life... I'm testing 10 times a day to keep track of my sugars but I had no idea I was testing that often at all. I was hesitant when my doctor told me she wanted me to get on a pump but after some research I jumped on board and I'm so glad I did. My biggest concern is that my little guy's sugar will bottom out after we're detatched, but birth defects... neh.... and Lantus (and all other insulin) does not pass the placenta (hell, it doesn't even get processed through our kidneys or liver), so your doctor is wrong to say it's not approved... although for the first few weeks before I got on the pump Lantus did cause me a lot of lows, it is seemingly less reliable than a Basal dose from a pump.

i actually purchased this bedskirt in Full size for my Queen size - low profile box spring. And, IT WORKED!!The fabric is lightweight enough that it still drapes well. I am elated. Low-profile bedskirts are just not available and I am so glad I thought of this great idea.
I love the fabric, the quality. The appearance I would have given a 5 except that it does not fit my king bed even though I ordered it in King. It comes down about 1/3 of the way on one side! Thankfully that side is facing a wall and no one really can see it except for me when I get into bed. I kept it though as it looks good on the front and other side and too much work to get it back off, ha. I still recommend it as long as it fits right or you do not mind if it doesn't.
This is an Excellent product just as described!! The color is a nice off white to go with most colors.
We've been using a bedskirt that was too long. This one is a perfect fit, and the fabric is very nice. The bedskirt was also nicely packaged, so that there were far fewer wrinkles than I expected.
Something as simple as a new bedskirt made such a nice compliment to the bedroom (and it was super easy transaction with fast shipping A+).
Very happy with this product and the quality and size are perfect!
Very satisfied with the quality and price of this item.
The bedskirt looks very pretty, although it was disappointing to realize it needed quite a bit of ironing since it seems to wrinkle quite a lot. I thought since the material was a polyester mix that it would be close to wrinkle free. A bit disappointing, but once ironed, it does look very nice.
Very pretty white bedskirt and goes well with all my comforters. I would recommend this item.
This product was everything I had hoped it would be. It fits perfectly,the white is really white not some off color. The quality is excellent.

1966 L6 coupe

Ok lets take that as an example.... My grandparents came here from Italy in 1910. They were asked to come and help work on the Pennsylvania RR. What kind of country would we be in if they said that you can come here, live here, pay your taxes here but you cannot be part of the AMERICAN DREAM. We would not have the great country we have today. It is our duty to question whats happening. I am a dues paying member and this also should have been discussed in the open and then if you decide to write or e mail a member of the board with your thoughts and ideas on the subject. It didnt happen that way, the decision was made and then the membership was notified.
What if your city council did this, you walk into a meeting and they said we already voted on the tax increase and sorry but you dont have a say.... How long would that last.
I am proud to be an MCA Member, but I firmly disagree with 2 decisions that they have made recently without input from the members.
I see some directors have only 1 or 2 posts so maybe they need to step up and see whats on this forum. Its a great way to communicate as long as we stay civil. The Times is also a great way to connect, they could easily put the items to be voted on on a page with comment columns when Directors are going to vote on items.
The problem will be compounded 10X if people dont know this come next year, enter to show your car and have fun and have it judged only to be told you have to be a member and pay $50 more or you can only be in Popular choice, where and I am sad to say most cars getting voted on by show participants and if your not a club member chance are you wont have a chance.
Once you pay to get into a show you should be able to participate fully.
I care about the direction we are heading thats why I am so upset, I have seen this before destroy clubs when you dont invite them in and or alienate them. There must be another way.
Last edited by jacostang; June 13, 2012 at 11:16 PM.
Other than Copperstate, the other clubs are not MCA clubs, so how are they relevant to the discussion?
Let me give you a little history about SAMC. Around 1988, when I was the President of SAMC, several people suggested that we become an MCA-chartered club. I put it up for discussion and a vote, and there was a very strong, derisive reaction against doing so. Furthermore, in 1990, after a group of us split from SAMC and formed our own club, Old Pueblo Mustang Club, our club was blackballed by SAMC and to this day, it is a very rare occurrence for any of their members to attend our annual Regional MCA show. Why would the members of that club care what MCA does when they won't attend a local MCA show that doesn't require MCA membership?
I'd also like to ask a question. How many of you who are against the new rule are Certified or Gold Card judges? I've been judging at MCA Nationals/Grand Nationals since 1998 when Old Pueblo held the first National MCA Show in Arizona. I also administer the judges database and can tell you that the numbers of judges are decreasing, not increasing. I just culled the database of any judge that hasn't judged in the last three years. That reduced the database by more than 50 percent! Of course, I also maintain a complete database so that if anyone who was dropped happens to judge again, their information is intact and they can be added back to the active list.
How many have you judged in recent years at Nationals or Grand Nationals? I don't mean work as a scribe, I mean actually judge. So, you want everyone and their uncle to be eligible to be judged at a National/Grand National. Sorry, but we don't have the volunteers to do it. The shows are getting larger, and the judges are getting fewer. I have judged as many as eight Modified cars by myself at a Grand National and four concours cars at a National, also by myself. I am a dual Gold Card judge. That was in addition to trailering 1,000+ miles by myself to the show, and prepping my Conservator car at the show. Can you imagine how tired I was by the end of show and I still had to go another 1,000+ miles to get back home.
The numbers of OD and DD cars at these shows are increasing exponentially. We cannot continue to judge all of these cars, much less the concours and modified classes. These are MCA shows, and restricting the JUDGED cars to MCA members was a necessary step. We are not excluding non-MCA members from our shows, only from the judged classes. Either we restrict who can enter judged classes, or we restrict the numbers of entrants to the shows. I support the former, and not the latter choice.
Well said!
I might add there had been a lot of complants about the plan B at the Waldorf Grand National last year and also the loss of revenue from the nonmember if the 2013 rules were in place. It is most likely that the plan B would not have been nessary if the nonmembers (who do not help with the judging) had not been in attendance. How fair was that to all of the due paying members who did not their cars judged? We need people that get involved not sit in the shade.
I think you are forgetting that it takes more workers than just judges to put on a show. At the 2011 Grand National, most of the "other" workers were non-members. These were the folks who helped plan the show during the preceding 12 months, the folks who marked the show field, the folks who directed the spectator parking, the folks who directed the show car parking, the folks who stood out on the tarmac in the sun for three days straight and did what was necessary to get the show done. As has been pointed out by others, without those folks, there's no show. If those non-MCA folks cannot participate fully in the benefits of the show, they will not work the show. The non-members from the National Capital Region Mustang Club were working jobs OTHER than judging to ensure that there actually WAS a Grand National, never mind how big or small.
In my mind, if there's a limit on entries, then so be it. I attend lots of events where there's a maximum number of entries. If the judging community can only accommodate 300 cars, then set that as the limit and the organizing club can plan their budget, site, etc. accordingly. As was said many times during our 2011 GN planning meetings, "the worst thing we can do is over promise and under deliver". In my mind, that was the crux of the discontent over the plan B at the GN.

It is unfortunate that your perception of achieving recognition from the MCA judging community does not garner a sense of pride. The MCA invests a huge amount of time and effort to:
1) Develop, document, and communicate judging standards
2) Test and certify judges
3) Train and educate judges
4) Recognize and reward judging excellence
I dare say that you will not encounter this much training and commitment at your local car shows where Billy Bob and Becky Sue Volunteer-of-the-day conduct the judging. So even though your 2011 Grand National award was received under Plan B judging, the judges were trained and experienced in their assessment your vehicle and saw fit to recognize and reward your efforts.
Frankly, I see compliance with the 2013 rule as being a statement of recognition and support for the dedication of the MCA judging community and the efforts of the MCA as a whole.
if the mca is bad organization that you refuse to join why would want to enter a car, or work at the show?

WASHINGTON, Oct. 24, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- "Our America: The Latino Presence in American Art" presents the rich and varied contributions of Latino artists in the United States since the mid-20th century, when the concept of a collective Latino identity began to emerge. The exhibition is drawn entirely from the Smithsonian American Art Museum's pioneering collection of Latino art. It explores how Latino artists shaped the artistic movements of their day and recalibrated key themes in American art and culture. "Our America" presents a picture of an evolving national culture that challenges expectations of what is meant by "American" and "Latino."

The exhibition presents 92 artworks in all media, 63 of which have been acquired by the museum since 2011, representing its deep and continuing commitment to collecting Latino art. "Our America" will be on view from Oct. 25 through March 2, 2014. The exhibition is organized by E. Carmen Ramos, curator of Latino art.
"After three years of talking with artists across the U.S. with an eye toward building a significant collection of Latino art at the museum, it will be a thrill to see so many newly acquired artworks displayed together," said Ramos.
"Our America" reflects the rich diversity of Latino communities in the United States, showcasing artists of Mexican, Puerto Rican, Cuban and Dominican descent, as well as other Latin American groups. By presenting works by artists of different generations and regions, the exhibition reveals recurring themes among artists working across the country.
The exhibition will tour to six cities after Washington, D.C. A schedule of confirmed venues is online at americanart.si.edu/ouramerica as are links to a bilingual mobile website that includes commentaries about artworks in the exhibition and images of all the featured artworks and a podcast series.
