Todd Howard: Mods "make your game better", more companies should allow them
Bethesda's Todd Howard told G4 in the latest episode of X-Play he prefers mods over DLC and doesn't understand why so many game companies don't provide users the tools to create their own content nor why they don't allow modding, period.

Anyone found a solution to this?

International Discussions
International Discussions
Back when Colin Powell was Secretary of State he was being interviewed in England by a group of international reporters when a French reporter asked him: "Does America expect to retain control of any of the territory you have conquered recently?" Powell slowly responded with: "Yes. We will surely retain control of some territory. It will be like the territory we retained in France after World War Two. If you will check you will see that we retained an area of about seven feet by three feet for each American killed in France who is buried there." The French reporter offered no response. ______________ Then there was a conference in France where a number of international engineers were taking part, including French and American. During a break one of the French engineers came back into the room saying, "Have you heard the latest dumb stunt Bush has done? He has sent an aircraft carrier to Indonesia to help the tsunami victims. What does he intend to do, bomb them?" A Boeing engineer stood up and replied quietly: "Our carriers have three hospitals on board that can treat several hundred people; they are nuclear powered and can supply emergency electrical power to shore facilities; they have three cafeterias with the capacity to feed 3,000 people three meals a day, they can produce several thousand gallons of fresh water from sea water each day, and they carry half a dozen helicopters for use in transporting victims and injured to and from their flight deck." "We have eleven such ships; how many does France have?" Once again, dead silence. ________________ A United States Navy admiral was attending a naval conference that included admirals from the United States, England, Canada, Australia and France. At a cocktail reception, he found himself standing with a large group of officers that included personnel from most of those countries. Everyone was chatting away in English as they sipped their drinks, but a French admiral suddenly complained, ''Whereas Europeans learn many languages, Americans learn only English." He then asked, "Why is it that we always have to speak English in these conferences rather than speaking French?" Without hesitating, the American Admiral replied, "Maybe it's because the Brits, Canadians, Aussies and Americans arranged it so you wouldn't have to speak German." Once again, dead silence.

My favorite is the old one about the old Pilot for Pan Am that got lost on the taxiways after he landed at Frankfort, in the 60s or maybe the 70s, and shut it down and asked the tower for a "follow-me" and the tower came back in a young precise German accent asking sarcastically whether this was his first time visiting Frankfort.
The pilot replied " No I've been here a few times, but it was in a B-17 and we didn't stop..." Again, it was reported there was silence in reply...and a follow-me showed up shortly. I've heard variations of this story over the years, some from commercial pilots who have their own versions, I can't vouch that it's true, but it sounds like it SHOULD be....
The problems we face today are there because the people who work for a living are outnumbered by those who vote for a living. Last edited by polishshooter; 10-23-2007 at 08:02 PM.. |

Re: International Discussions
Q: Wy don't the French want to bomb Saddam Hussein?
A: He hates America, he loves mistresses and he wears a beret. He is French. Q: Why do the French call their fighter the "Mirage"? A: Because it's never seen in a combat zone. Q: What do you call a French fighter coming to the rescue of American and British soldiers in the Iraqi desert? A: Mirage The only way the French are going in is if we tell them we found truffles in Iraq. Q: Why do French naval ships have glass bottoms? A: To see all their other ships. Q: Why do the French use a lot of bleach on their sheets? A: So you can see their white flags better. Going to war without the French is like going hunting without an accordion. The French are to warfare what the British are to cooking. Donald Rumsfeld was being heckled by a French anti-war weenie when he suddenly turned and asked the Frenchman: "Excuse me. Do you speak German?" The Frenchman replied "No." Rumsfeld looked him in the eyes and said "You're welcome." Q: How did the French react to German reunification? A: They put up speed bumps at the borders to slow down the panzers. Q: What do you call a man who only needs body armor on his back? A: Jacques Chirac A man askes his companion, "What's the most common French expression"? His friend scratches his head, shrugs his shoulders and replies, "I give up!" Q: Why is it good to be French? A: You can surrender at the beginning of the war, and US will win it for you. Q: What is the French battle flag? A: It is three white fleur-de-lies on a white background. Q: Why do Frenchmen always wear yellow ties? A: To match their teeth. Q: What's the best place to hide your money? A: Under a Frenchman's soap. A: What do you get if you see a Frenchman up to his neck in sand? Q: More sand. Q: What did the Mayor of Paris say to the German Army as they entered? A: Table for one hundred thousand, sir? Q: What do you do if you drive over a Frenchman? A: Reverse! Q: Did you hear about the Frenchman who lost his license to practice medicine? A: He was caught having sex with some of his patients. It's a shame, he was the best veternnarian in town! Q: How do you stop a French tank? A: Shoot the guy that's pushing it. A French rifle for sale on ebay: "It's never been fired and it's been dropped only once." You really do have to hand it to the French... After all, they won't fight for it. Q: How many French soldiers does it take to change a light bulb? A: Five: one to sit on his butt and watch and do nothing. one to turn tail and run. one to roll over. one to surrender to the light bulb and snitch out occupied sockets. and one to pick up a phone and cry to the United States. Q: What happens when a Frenchman doesn't pay his garbage bill? A: They stop delivering. Q: What does "Maginot" mean in German? A: Welcome! Q: Why did the Frenchman sell his water skis? A: He couldn't find a lake with a hill in it. Q: How many Frenchmen does it take to screw in a lightbulb? A: All of them: One to screw the bulb in, the rest to brag about how great the French are at screwing. Q: How many Frenchmen does it take to screw in a lightbulb? A: It doesn't matter; if you're depending on the French to do the job, it's screwed anyway. French tanks have 6 gears, 5 reverse and 1 forward. The forward gear exists in case they are attacked from behind. Q:Why do we need France on our side against Saddam and Osama? A:So the French can show them how to surrender. Q: What do you do if a Frenchman throws a hand-grenade at you? A: Take the pin out and throw it back. Q: What do you do if a Frenchman throws a pin at you? A: Run like hell - he's still got a hand-grenade between his teeth. Q: Did you hear about the French helicopter crash? A: The pilot got cold, so he turned off the fan. Q: What do you call a Frenchman with 1500 girl friends? A: A shepherd. Q: What's the difference between a dead skunk and a dead Frenchman In the middle of the road? A: There are skid marks in front of the skunk. Q: What does it say on the bottom of a Perrier bottle in France? A: Open other end. Q: Did you hear about the French hockey team? A: They all drowned in spring training. Q: Did you hear about the new automatic French parachutes? A: They open on impact. Q: Did you hear about the French submarine with a screen door? A: Don't laugh... it keeps the fish out.

Equipoise And Self-Discovery Leads To Victory
Tomorrow — or I guess today — comes the cleanup; when thousands, perhaps millions, of right-wing heads explode, it makes quite a mess. Also, notice that the polls were right. I wonder if I can get invited when Nate Silver is sworn in as president? OK, somewhat more seriously: one big thing that just happened was that the real America trumped the "real America". And it's also the election that lets us ask, finally, "Who cares what's the matter with Kansas?"
– Paul Krugman just being his lovable self. (HT: NYT)
I admit defeat. To the extent that I proudly wear the vaunted jersey of Team Conservative and represent the hopes, dreams and values of our movement, I just got bread-trucked. And then the truck backed-up and did a few doughnuts on my meticulously-manicured lawn. I suck the odious dregs of vituperation and defeat through a sipping straw and hereby congratulate President Obama on his victory.
I do that to clearly and completely disassociate myself from the debasing and auto-beclowning conduct displayed by Mr. Krugman above. I hate doing it. But I choose to lose in the matter that befits a gentleman.

Following on from my post on AntiVirus Software and Apple Macs, I decided to add antivirus to my desktop machines also. I chose ClamAV because it is part of the Fedora repository. I wrote a quick note about installing ClamAV on Fedora and Enterprise Linux (RHEL, Oracle Linux, CentOS etc.).
Not surprisingly, scans revealed no viruses on any of my Fedora machines.
Jay Weinshenker has written a couple of good posts in response to my recent post on Oracle Linux vs. RHEL.
I don't agree 100% with his all his points, but I always think it's good to hear different sides of the story and I certainly enjoyed reading them.
There was an interesting thread on the OakTable mailing list the other day regarding the choice of Linux distros for Oracle installations. It was started by one member (the name has been withheld to protect the innocent ) who said,
"I cannot imagine (but want to understand) why anyone would pick RHEL5.6 for Oracle as opposed to the vastly superior OEL with the UEK."
I must admit I've kinda forgotten that any distro apart from Oracle Linux (OL) exists as far as production installations of Oracle software are concerned.
Some of the reasons cited for people not to pick OL include:
I guess every company and individual will have differing justifications for their choice of distro.
So why would you pick OL and Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel (UEK) for Oracle installations?
For more information you might want to read this whitepaper or watch this webcast.
If you are looking at things from a purely technical perspective, I guess you are going to pick OL and UEK. Of course, many of us don't work in a world where technology is picked purely on its merits.
Update: Check out this post by Jay Weinshenker for a different angle on this issue.

Computer programmers are responsible for translating an idea for a software program into a set of instructions that a computer can follow using a process called programming or coding. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S. Department of Labor, "as software design has continued to advance, and some programming functions have become automated, programmers have begun to assume some of the responsibilities that were once performed only by software engineers. As a result, some computer programmers now assist software engineers in identifying user needs and designing certain parts of computer programs, as well as other functions."During the 16-month computer programming program, Minneapolis Business College students learn object-oriented programming, JAVA, Visual Basic and other important concepts that businesses expect programmers to understand. Students attend classes in computer labs specially equipped for programming needs and graduates will be ready to for entry-level positions as computer programmers. Minneapolis Business College graduates work in:• Computer programming• Software documentation• Micro/computer operatingAt Minneapolis Business College, you'll:• Learn key programming languages, database concepts, and web development• Learn essential skills to apply as you advance in your career• Be qualified for entry level computer programming positions upon graduation• Have access to Minneapolis Business College's placement department to help get you the job
oThe Classification of Instructional Programs (CIP) taxonomic coding scheme was developed in 1980 by the National Center for Education Statistics to facilitate the organization, collection, and reporting of fields of study and program completions. The CIP titles and program descriptions are intended to be generic categories into which program completions data can be placed, not exact duplicates of a specific major or field of study titles used by individual institutions. This institution's programs generally are intended to provide training for occupations associated with multiple CIP codes and each program's graduates generally occupy a wide variety of positions both following graduation and within a few years. However, the institution is required to choose one CIP code and believes that a code of 11.0201 is the best representation of expected occupations. The institution is required to list the following occupations (by name and Standard Occupational Classification—or SOC—code) that the O*NET crosswalk identifies as a representative sample of identified occupations for completers of a program with a CIP code of 11.0201.
15-1021.00 Computer Programmers
25-1021.00 Computer Science Teachers, Postsecondary
51-4012.00 Numerical Tool and Process Control Programmers
The institution notes that, due to the nature of CIP codes and SOC codes, this list of representative occupations may be expected to comprise a subset of actual graduates' occupations; further, graduates may or may not work in each of these listed occupations.
o The on-time graduation rate as defined by the U.S. Department of Education for students who completed the program between July 1, 2012 and June 30, 2013 is 100%. The definition is the percentage of graduates that completed the program within the normal timeframe.
o The placement rates as of October 31, 2012 for graduates between July 1, 2011 and June 30, 2012 and as reported to ACICS was 64% for the degree program. More graduates may have been placed subsequently, as may be shown elsewhere on this site.
o Tuition and fees charged for completing the program within the normal time for students who start the program between January 1, 2013 and December 31, 2013 is $29,330. (Note that financial aid is available for those who qualify and the net price paid may be materially less; please visit www.minneapolisbusinesscollege.edu/aid.)
o The typical costs for books and supplies for completing the program within the normal time is expected—as of the fall of 2012—to be approximately $2,700 for students who start the program between January 1, 2013 and December 31, 2013.
o The total charges for school-sponsored housing for completing the program within the normal time are $13,720 for students who start the program between January 1, 2013 and December 31, 2013.
o Potential applicants may find the following information at www.minneapolisbusinesscollege.edu/catalog.pdf: institutional accreditation; contact information for accrediting agencies and state licensing/approval agencies; admissions policies and practices; policies on transfer of credits to and from the institution; policies and processes for withdrawal and for refunds of tuition/fees; and additional consumer information.
o For graduates between July 1, 2012 and June 30, 2013 , median federal loan debt was $15,287, median private loan debt was zero, and median institutional loan debt was zero.
Employers will continue to need programmers, especially those who have strong technical skills and who understand an employer's business and its programming requirements. As technology evolves and newer, more sophisticated tools emerge, programmers will need to update their skills in order to remain competitive. Obtaining vendor-specific or language-specific certification also can provide a competitive edge.Source: Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S. Department of Labor, Occupational Outlook Handbook, 2010-11 Edition

Autoimmune Disorders | Take the Road to a Healthy Heart
Should you tilt your head back to stop a nosebleed? Can you soothe a burn with butter? Is rubbing a hard-boiled egg over a bruise a good home remedy? No, replies Dr Lim Chin Siah, Associate Consultant, Department of Emergency Medicine, Singapore General Hospital (SGH) to these first aid questions. Here are the facts, and the right solution, regarding some common first aid problems:
Myth 1: Soothe a burn with butter, toothpaste or ice Fact: Applying butter or an oily substance to a burn can make it difficult for a doctor to treat the burn later. The butter will also increase the risk of infection. Toothpaste can also increase the risk of infection since it becomes unhygienic once the cap is removed from the tube. Ice may cause a sudden drop in temperature and shock the victim. It can also damage the skin tissue.

Introduction to "WS" - save variables to file
Often, in J, we put a lot of effort into creating our arrays. Ideally, we should be able to re-create these arrays from scratch as needed but sometimes we'd like to save the variables as they are. This is why I wrote the following namespace "WS" (for Workspace - a concept from APL).
The main function, fileVar, saves a variable to a file in the directory specified; its inverse function, unfileVar, creates the variable from the file so saved.
Here is the code: WS.ijs.
In addition to the files (one per unique variable name), these functions also use a directory file named "#dir.dir" in each unique directory where variables are saved. This is merely two columns of text: filename variable-name. There should be some functions for better maintaining this directory file, but I have not written them. The directory file is plain text to make it easy to adjust manually in an editor; this is why I have not bothered with some obvious maintenance functions like "delete".
My own functions in the required "filefns" are probably all included in the "General Utilities" section at the end of the code but I have not tested this. Please get in touch with me at <devon AT SPAMFREE acm DOT org> if you have any problems with this code.
NB.* WS.ijs: (partially) emulate APL WS - save variables to NB. files. Only works on base namespace and does not NB. handle scripts. Last updated 20040707 1215. NB.* getTempDir: get name of temporary directory. NB.* loadAllVars: load all variables into base namespace from dir NB.* saveAllVars: save all vars in base namespace to dir specified. NB.* fileVar: put variable named by y. (e.g. "xxx") into file (e.g. NB.* unfileVar: get variable named by y. from file; inverse of fileVar. NB.* unfile1Var: retrieve value of variable from file and instantiate in NB.* getFileDir: get file-directory from directory y. or create if none. NB.* putFileDir: put file-directory x. into directory y. NB.* baseNum: return number y. in base with digits x.: positive coclass 'WS' require 'strings winapi filefns' DIRFL=: '#dir.dir' NB. Name of directory file which maps NB. file names to variable names. NB. These (getTempPath & getTempDir) locally dup standard fns for standaloneness. getTempPath=: 'GetTempPath' win32api getTempDir=: 3 : 0 NB.* getTempDir: get name of temporary directory. td=. >2{getTempPath 256;256$' ' td=. td{.~td i. 0{a. ) DEFDIR=: getTempDir '' NB. Default directory with variables on file. USAGE=: 0 : 0 The 2 top-level functions are "saveAllVars" and "loadAllVars". saveAllVars_WS_ '' saves all variables from the base namespace to the temp directory. loadAllVars_WS_ '' restores these variables to the base namespace. The directory to which files are written, along with the directory file named by "DIRFL", is the right argument of "saveAllVars" and "loadAllVars". The default directory is named by "DEFDIR" and defaults to the temp directory (returned by "getTempDir".) Individual variables may be written to or read from file with "fileVar" and "unfileVar", respectively. For example, to save the global variable "lotsaNums" to directory "C:\Temp": 'C:\Temp' fileVar_WS_ 'lotsaNums' To subsequently read the variable back from file: 'C:\Temp' unfileVar_WS_ 'lotsaNums' ) NB.* varExists: tell if variable named y. exists in specified file vars dir x. varExists=: 3 : 0 DEFDIR varExists y. : 'dirloc fldir'=. getFileDir x. rc=. 0 if. -.0 e. $fldir do. rc=.

NB.EG nms=. loadAllVars '\temp\foo' ) saveAllVars=: 3 : 0 NB.* saveAllVars: save all vars in base namespace to dir specified. nmlst=. <;._1 ' ',dsp,(names__ 0),"1 ' ' if. -.dirExists y. do. NB.

Feelin' the love at the TH Library
It's that time of year. Yes, of course Valentine's Day is just around the corner, but all the really cool folk know it's also Love your Library Month.By: Tammy Francois, Lake County News Chronicle
It's that time of year. Yes, of course Valentine's Day is just around the corner, but all the really cool folk know it's also Love your Library Month. And to ensure that everyone can celebrate both, planning is under way for an evening of music, poetry, delicious desserts and a silent auction with treats and treasures worthy of anyone's beloved — all to benefit the Two Harbors Public Library.
The event, dubbed "Love your Library" (lest we forget) will take place Saturday, Feb.16, from 6:30-9 p.m. at the Two Harbors Library and is sponsored by Friends of the Library. The proceeds are earmarked for renovation projects, new seating, windows and window treatments and the ancillary costs related to the installation of new carpet, said Jan O'Donnell and Micky McGilligan of Friends of the Library. Some of the projects have been on the library's wish-list for some time, but raising the funds has been daunting.
"Friends of the Library is known for the book sale we have every year," said O'Donnell, "but this is a new adventure to do a focused, bigger campaign."
Some of the improvements will be made by the end of summer, she said, and others, like replacement of the windows will take place in the future, as funds permit.
The older part of the library, the Carnegie building, was constructed in 1908. The newer addition was built in 1983. Few major changes have been made to the interior since that time, said library director Michele Monson, including the purchase if furnishings.
"A lot of the furniture is 40 years old," said McGilligan, and the windows, which are original, will have to be custom-made to match the architecture of the century-old building — which means they'll be more expensive. Improvements will also be made to the electrical service in the building so visitors can plug in lap tops.
McGilligan and O'Donnell emphasize that the improvements aren't just for the sake of appearances. They're part of an ongoing effort to keep up with the world in which we live. Libraries are much more than a building where books are neatly arranged on shelves.
"(Libraries are) hubs of the community," said O'Donnell, "especially in Two Harbors where we don't have a community center that's open all the time, the library serves that purpose."
The numbers tell the story. Each week, hundreds of people come through the doors of the Two Harbors Public Library on their way to the workshops, meetings and programs in the building. In fact, in 2011 community members made 48,804 visits to the library over the course 2,856 open hours, according to library statistics. The public meeting room was used by 88 groups, 45 library-sponsored programs were presented, 91,641 items were checked out and visitors logged 23,627 hours of use on the library's public computers.
The event will include cellist Kathy McTavish and Duluth's former poet laureate, Sheila Packa, who will present "Origin of Red," a performance that combines music, spoken word and visual components. Louise's is providing "elegant desserts," said O'Donnell, and the silent auction promises something for everyone — wine, massages, creations by local artists and craftspeople, and $200 worth of body work at Larry's Auto Body and craft items, just to name a few.
Anyone interested in donating a silent auction item may call McGilligan at 834-4891. Donations can be accepted until Feb. 14. Tickets for the event are $10.

July 31 was like any other ordinary midsummer morning at McLeod Athletic Park.
Before a heat wave flooded the region, an exercise enthusiast ran up and down the MAP grandstand stairs.
At the same time, a couple strolled leisurely along the track that hugs the oval turf field.
On that turf field a young man ran alone, practising his form.
Naturally, he went unnoticed by those around him.
For Braedon Dolfo, the morning workout wasn't to get in shape.
He already has the physique of an elite track athlete.
In fact, Dolfo was training for the upcoming London 2012 Paralympics.
At 18, the Langley Secondary grad and soon-to-be Trinity Western University student/athlete is the youngest athlete named to Canada's 2012 Paralympic track and field team.
In London, Dolfo is slated to compete in three events: the visually impaired 4 x 100m relay, along with the T13 men's 100m and 200m sprints.
"It's pretty exhilarating, actually," Dolfo said, before setting off to do his solo workout. "It's basically like a dream come true. You think about it as a kid and now it's become possible, so I'm pretty excited."
He is coming off a golden performance at the Canadian Olympic and Paralympic Trials at Foothills Athletic Park in Calgary.
Dolfo, who has about five per cent vision, won gold in the T13 men's 100m and 200m dashes.
His showing in Calgary notwithstanding, Dolfo has compiled quite a resumé heading into the biggest meet in his life.
He is the Canadian T13 record holder in long jump (6.40 metres), high jump (1.83m), and 100m (11.34 seconds), the latter of which would have him ranked fifth in Canada among able-bodied junior athletes.
With his high jump of 1.83m, Dolfo claimed the bronze medal at the 2011 Paralympic World Championships in Christchurch, New Zealand.
Dolfo has come a long way over the past couple of years, in many aspects. His track and field aspirations ground to a temporary halt last summer when he underwent hip surgery at the University of British Columbia.
Dolfo said the injury was a culmination of wear and tear, and not the result of something that happened suddenly.
Thanks to loads of hard work and resilience, Dolfo said his hip is "100 per cent."
Going into London, Dolfo will face the same kinds of challenges as others in his category. He developed cataracts and chronic uveitis at age five and began competing in track and field at age 11 after he developed glaucoma.
He compares his vision to looking through the hole of a straw.
"The five per cent is in the central visual field, more in the middle," his dad Brent explained. "When he's running the 100, it's easy to focus and he can see straight ahead and see the lines. The challenge comes when he's running the 200 and running the corner, when the lines all intersect."
"You get used to it, and you start adapting to it," Braedon said. "Running the 200metres, it's definitely helped to figure out the corner. I usually run it by feel than just sight, usually. It can be challenging. It has its difficulties but it's usually pretty good."
All paths, metaphorically, lead to these fast-approaching 2012 Games.
Dolfo is keeping an open mind heading into London.
He and his Team Canada coach Laurier Primeau are not only focused on London, they're also aiming for the 2016 Paralympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
"Just to have fun and enjoy the experience," Dolfo said, when asked about his expectations at this year's Paralympics. "If I have a great performance I'll be extremely happy but if I don't, just the experience to go to the Paralympics is great."
Primeau doubles as both head coach of TWU's track and field team and Canada's para-athletics head coach.
Coach and athlete will grow familiar with each other in the coming years, after Dolfo agreed to attend TWU and compete for the Spartans track team starting this fall.
"It's always been about 2016 for Braedon," Primeau said. "He's an 18-year-old athlete who is potentially going to do some unexpected things in London with respect to medaling."
The focus this summer is on process more than outcome.
I will say that in both the 100 and 200 hell be fighting for a medal, but we also know that statistically speaking as a country, we probably convert on about 50 per cent of our medal expectations, Primeau said.
Dolfo sits among the elite elite in world rankings when it comes to the T13 100m (fifth) and 200m (sixth) sprints and the Canadas visually impaired 4 x 100m relay team (Canada ranks fourth).
In that respect, he has a shot at bringing home a Paralympic home with him to Langley.
Even so, Dolfo doesnt put any added pressure on himself.
I feel if I do the training, the results will come, he said. But if I dont do the training, do the day-in, day-out work, then I usually put pressure on myself because I know I should have done that or done this. It almost feels like a normal meet, even though its on a larger scale. Its just go out there, run, and have fun.
Brent said his son should be in his prime at the 2016 Games in Rio or the 2020 Games.
In my view, a medal is possible, but making the finals is a good goal, Brent said. There are a number of very experienced athletes who have qualified in the 100-metres [and will] will be entering the 200-metres, and vice versa.
Primeau describes Dolfos training as an evolution.
He has had some really solid foundational coaching in which to build, so thats made my job much easier, he said. Our biggest task is keeping him injury-free.
Physically, Dolfo is a 25-year-old with an 18-year-olds birth certificate, Primeau said.
Hes so well developed, the coach said. Because of that, theres been musculature and bone growth thats happened so rapidly, that theres been a lot of tightness and mobility that weve had to work through to keep him healthy.
The journey to London has been an interesting one for Dolfo.
I had the hip surgery last summer, just to be able to make it now, Im quite happy, he said. Im ready to go and Im ready to give it my best.
Dolfo cant wait to soak in the atmosphere of his first Paralympic Games.
Seeing friends from different countries, I think that will be the biggest thing for me, he said. Just being in the stadium alone, just to know that the Olympic athletes set the stage for the Paralympic athletes.
Dolfo has one last competition in Canada, a Paralympic tune-up meet Aug. 15 in Coquitlam. On Aug. 21, Dolfo leaves for a pre-Paralympic training camp at Brunel University in London.
The Paralympics opening ceremonies are Aug. 29.

Please post only CS's here. No other discussion. Responses to CS's (such as whether or not they're accepted) will be made on the OOC.
Name: Sarah Covenry
Age: 41
Appearance: At forty one Sarah is starting to come to grips with her impending age. At five foot one she's somewhat tiny and has a few stray strands of grey in her chestnut hued hair which she keeps dyed a dirty blonde and has grown out to reach her shoulder blades. More often than not she keeps it tied up atop her head, anything to make herself appear taller. Her skin is still mostly smooth, save for her dimple marks and the beginning of crow's feet. Thanks to a high metabolism she luckily hasn't had to deal with obesity but the dark bags under her eyes and poor posture are something she's been working to correct with a new jogging regimen, one that includes running up staircases. (Which, apparently is twice as efficient as regular jogging.)
How they roleplay: As a Games Master or GM for many years on the tabletop Sarah is an excellent impromptu storyteller. She realizes GMing is not just about planning out a storyline but in analyzing the backgrounds of the player characters, inserting plot hooks based on them, and watching the reactions of her players and adjusting the narrative based on what she reads on their faces and in their body language.
Generally, Sarah watches GMs and the flow of the story and tries to support it rather than casually trying to railroad the story in her own direction. Her preferred genre is fantasy, though she enjoys just about all manner of settings and has a decided love for cross-genre stories but understands that they rarely work. The only thing she finds infuriating are high school stories. They always fall apart the moment the story enters a classroom. Why their GMs don't just skip the classes she'll never understand.
Bio: Sarah is old enough to now understand that what you are told when you are young is not the reality that comes later. The idea that you can make your life into whatever you wish it to be? It's all hogwash. It is simple hype, like fans and sports players making grandiose statements before a game to increase their positive outlook and increase the odds of success. The honest truth is that you are with every year, every decision you make, reduced in the choices made available to you and some choices boxing you in more than others.
Sarah had a truly shitty childhood, with an absentee drunk father and a mother that twisted words and was as verbally and emotionally abusive as her father was physically abusive in the rare times he actually spent time at home without sleeping. Thrown out of her house on her eighteenth birthday she bounced around living off of welfare, barely got through high school and then almost made it through college before her boyfriend at the time cleaned out her accounts and left her with no money to finish her studies.
Since then she has mostly been doing the retail scene, using role playing, movies and video games to escape the harsh reality that is humanity.
Other: Sarah has played a few games of airsoft and is a remarkable shot thanks to taking a rifle class in Christian Bible Camp as a youth.

Name: Alexander Bridge - Username: Icarus
Age: 23
Appearance: Usually too lazy to shave, his face usually sports some kind of hair, be it peach fuzz or a full blown beard and moustache. In spite of this, he always keeps his brown hair cut short to keep it from obstructing his already poor vision, which he wears thick glasses at all times to correct. Fairly tall and lanky at 185 cm and 80 kg, he usually prefers casual wear when he's sitting at home on the computer; a pair of jeans and a graphic tee, anything else is optional.
How they roleplay: Sandy, as his friends call him, always liked a good story, and he sees the site as a way to be a part of telling a good one. Sometimes it works out, others it doesn't. C'est la vie. While confident in his character development and ability to see and advance the plot, he's not very confident at all in the consistency of his post length, and so sticks to the more challenging areas of Casual rather than jumping into Advanced. With regards to Genre, he tends to go into more science-fiction oriented affairs, though isn't shy of delving into more traditional and otherwise fantasy settings. While he likes intellectual characters, his favourite archetype to play is the turncoat; the hunter turned monster, the bad guy turned good, and vice versa.
Biography: There really isn't that much to be said about the history of this University dropout. He did well enough in school until then then later fell victim to a short attention span and various hobbies. He's usually stubborn and strong willed, but this is offset by the fact that he's usually quite knowledgeable; it makes him a little less annoying to hang around. He has little patience for anything that doesn't involve either his entertainment or his sustenance, and when he is roped into a task, he likes to have it done in a way that he never has to do it again. Hopefully, though, a jaunt through the Guild's multiverse will help change this attitude for the better. While he prefers to explore the settings of others, he has written a few RP scenarios of his own, though only one ever made it past a few pages.
Other: Though living alone, he maintains regular contact with his family and friends; they will know something's up if he stops answering calls or otherwise goes missing.
In a world beyond controlling...
...are you going to deny the saviour in front of your eyes?
Name: Mostly just goes by Minnesota or Minnesota Nice.
Age: 16
How they Roleplay: Minnesota usually Roleplays in Casual and treats RPs as games, which they should be. He usually plays as someone who isn't all that smart but gets by using some other ordinary attribute such as physical strength or courage. He doesn't mind playing villains in the story since he finds that it comes easy to him and usually plays morally corrupt or flawed characters if not the villain of the story. He never plays the cliche hero since he finds them dull and hard to imagine himself as. His characters are usually the ones to be the first to leap into a fight and one of the last to leave, his favorite part of a RP is the action since the fighting possibilities in an RP are limitless. He does occasionally have his characters socialize but he prefers to be in the fray of the fight than in the sidelines watching and chatting.
Bio: Minnesota is, for a lack of better terms, an average bored teenager. He never had problems in Academics and has had a fairly easy life. While some look at his achievements and think that his life must of been hard; the truth is that most things come easy to him. He's pretty lazy despite the fact that he does so many extracurricular activities such as sports. He's a pretty standard Jack of all Trades but master of none. He's not at the top of his class due to the fact that it would require actual studying and he's not the best at his sports since there are others that are more dedicated to it so he sits comfortably at being proficient at most normal things but not at a level really worth bragging. He joined Roleplaying Guild since he was bored and didn't want to do anything he deemed 'productive'.
Other: Minnesota can be pretty lax and careless when stuff doesn't matter but if something hits home for him, he can suddenly turn very competitive. Also has a rather peculiar view of morality due to the fact he doesn't believe in a Higher Being so some of his actions may come across as those of a jackass while others are deemed selfless.
Name: Nautilus Prasetya
Age: 19
Appearance: Nautilus is a male Indonesian. His skin is brown and never gets brighter as time passes, probably due to living in a tropical country with plenty of sunlight. He only shaves his beard when other people tell him so or start getting annoyed. He shaves his moustache regularly, however, and he also keeps his hair short because it looks very ugly when it's long. He wears thick glasses, the magnitudes are -4 on his right eye and -3.75 on his left. He is 170cm tall and weighs 60kg, which is about average for Indonesian males.
How they roleplay: Nautilus is new to RPGuild, but he's done a few roleplays with his friends over text messages during the past year. However, since he has only roleplayed through text messages, which have length constraints, he hasn't managed to post as lengthy as most other roleplayers in RPGuild do, although he's not a one-liner. He roleplays in levels between the higher standards of Free to the typical mid-Casual level. His grammar is not among the best, but at least he always wants to improve his English.
As for roleplaying preferences, he prefers alternate history, science fiction, and sometimes he also does superhero roleplays as well. For the alternate history, however, the closer the changes in altered history are to the present time, the more likely he is to do one. Playing as the hero, anti-hero, or the villain doesn't matter much to him; however, he prefers to be "one among a few equals" rather than to be the single most important protagonist/antagonist character. He doesn't do smuts that are often found in 1x1 roleplays, though.
Bio: Nautilus is a college student spending his third year. He is a mathematics student, and is fairly good at his studies. In a major consisting of many stereotypically weird students, he always believes he is normal, although it may or may not be accurate. He often answers "roleplaying" when he is asked about his hobbies, despite his minimal experience, since his other activities normally doesn't last long.
He doesn't like to tell much about his bio, however, especially about the contents that can be put into a CV, such as education, achievements, etc, which is frequently asked to him even in informal introductions. To get around those, he often uses metaphors or ambiguous sentences when answering questions he deemed sensitive, not only about things that can be put into a CV but other sensitive or private things as well.
Other: Nautilus carries at least one pen and one sheet of paper anywhere he goes, although that doesn't mean he takes notes of stuffs around him. Normally he carries them so that he can do some math, especially as his friends often ask him about math homeworks.
Name: Elizabeth Jones
Age: 20
How they roleplay:
Elizabeth has many hobbies, roleplaying being one of them. Introduced to it by an ex-boyfriend when she was 16, she has been roleplaying on and off ever since then whenever she finds the time in her busy schedule to do so. Some people watch tv to relax, Elizabeth roleplays. She is of mid-Casual level, though could be Advanced if she really likes the plot/characters and is particularly inspired. Her preferred genres varies with her mood and what she 'craves' at the time, though she usually likes anything related to fantasy, horror and the occasional slice-of-life.
Elizabeth is the type of girl you don't notice straight away. You'll find her sitting in a corner by herself reading a book or sketching on her notepad. She is quiet, but only because she likes listening more than talking. She rarely starts up conversations and doesn't like being the center of attention. She only lets a select few get close to her but she will stand by them no matter what. Her close friends know her as a kind, compassionate and loyal friend while strangers misunderstand her reserved nature as being snobbish.
With busy parents, Elizabeth was mostly left to her own devices as a child but she turned out relatively normal and showed logical decision-making from an early age. Though, she is not perfect and has made a few mistakes that she regrets, she believes in one motto: "Everything happens for a reason." She has a younger sister that she wishes she could strangle at times, but she still loves her dearly. Her relationship with her parents isn't the best, but she has a constant need to fulfill their desires and make them happy, resulting in her leading a sheltered life.

Name: Simon de Bakker
Age: 19
How they roleplay: Simon recently got into the whole text based Roleplay thing. He was used to Roleplay in games and also did LARP (live action role playing), though he never really thought of the forum kind of roleplay. Eventually his fantasies and stories started to spread in his mind and he decided to look one up. He simply saw the Guild and simply joined.
Simon has already tried to GM several Roleplays, though most died before they got even started. He usually aims for Casual because it enjoys him the most and there are the most participants for that. Roleplaying is both a game and a way of storytelling for him.
While he prefers Sci-fi and fantasy, he doesn't scare away from Steampunk and modern day things. What he doesn't like are Roleplays based on real life (High Schools and such) and fandom roleplays.
Bio: Simon is currently in school to become a History Teacher on high schools. While he doesn't have friends there that are has geeky as him, he does have plenty of kind at the Larp Weekends he is going to twice a year. This is also his biggest hobby: Creating costumes and sharpening his weapon skills just for that.
He goes to sword fighting lessons twice a week and has been doing so for the past 9 months. In his free time Simon usually plays video games, play some guitar or hangs out with his friends in the city.
With his jolly and optimistic behavior, it isn't hard for Simon to make friends, though he has the tendency to get into a discussion so now and then.
Other: Loving parents, many friends, some historical knowledge, capable sword fighter, basic guitar player, uh... yeah, that sums it up.
OOC Other: I'm dutch, hence the name. Apologies for the stupid picture. I'm not really... well on photos. Note that the sword is standing on a higher platform, and that I'm not holding it up on my own.
"The key to happiness is life itself..."
"Walk softly, and carry a big gun."
"An open mind is like a fortress with it's gates unbarred and broken."

Age: 16
Hoorah! Anime me(Thanks cousin)!
How they roleplay:
-Usually stays in the Casual Roleplay section, rarely going higher or lower.
-Focuses more on the story aspect of the roleplay rather than "winning" it by being the best
-Is open to a wide variety of genres, but particularly likes NRPs, Modern War themes, and Shit Hit the Fan and We are All Fucked themes.
-Characters vary from story to story, but rarely ever roleplays as the silent type.
Born and being raised in the state of Virginia, Alice is.... you know what? Writing in third person about me is fucking weird, so I'm writing this first person from now on! Anyway, like I said, I was born in Virginia and haven't left since. Based on what my friends have told me, I'm apparently an "odd, tomboyish girl" mainly because I would much rather spend my time at the shooting range than watch "Real Housewives of Orange County" or any show on Bravo for that matter.... I like to play video games a lot, (PC GAMING MASTER RACE!) and I can officially say I have more experience flying planes than driving cars. In school, I have a variety of friends I guess.... In terms of my social life, I can recognize that I have it pretty good compared to others, but I still try to include anyone who seems left out (whether they want to or not! >:3). The homefront has been rough though. You have my father, pretty much the best guy in the world, suffering from very severe Bi-Polar Disorder and my mother, who while has gotten better, obliviously suffers from Borderline Personality Disorder. In a nut shell, that means that she has an incredibly black and white view of the world and can physically not admit she is wrong, always blaming others instead of herself. Once again, things could be much worse, I get that, but that still doesn't help/change the fact that having divorced parents who can't be within 5 feet of each other (and live 40 minutes away from each other) can be pretty damn inconvenient and stressful on my life. Few, anyway I juggle my activities between the video game club at my school, my responsibilities in the Civil Air Patrol, and just school in general. Still I can find enough time in the day to come on here pretty regularly unless some BS happens with my family or otherwise. I consider myself a critical thinker and someone who firmly believes in "Question Everything" (Thanks to my dad, who is a pretty big skeptic).
Well that's it for me to toot my own horn. First time I had to make a short bio for myself XD
Other: Did I mention I like guns? Cause I looooooooove shootin things..... a lot..... like, almost as much as my love for flying.
Attention to those I RP with! Due to some bad home problems, I will not be able to post significantly for awhile (maybe a week or less, maybe). So I leave it to the GMs to decide to let any of my characters go or move one without me. I totally understand in any case so please, don't hold up the story just because of me. I hope I can return to the Guild with a working computer soon and a less than hectic home life. Until then, Good luck to you all!
FNORD! Hail Eris! Hail Discord!
Shout out to my cousin for the pics! <3
Name: Dante Quentin
Age: 15
Appearance: Dante has a vast multitude of nationalities that pour into his race (Mexican, German, Italian, French, American etc.). He has a light tan and dark, oily hair, that appears black, despite the fact that it is truly just a very dark shade of brown. His choice of clothing frequently involves a black hooded sweatshirt, an italian style hat, and a pair of jeans. He weighs about 160 pounds, mostly in muscle, and stands at 5'9".
Imagine his face resembling Dante in the newest DMC game.
How they Roleplay: Dante prefers the superhero genre as far as his experiences go, despite the fact that he desires to branch out. Without cooperation, which has been most of his experiences in RPing, his posts are in the range of 800 to 1300 words per post. While he has dabbled in 'Free' and can technically be found under 'Advanced', the games he's played are summed up as 'High Casual.' He always gives his beat to resolve disputes between players or be helpful when he can.
Bio: Born in 1997, Dante was raised by his parents, a father named Dante as well, and a mother named Esther. He was born in Columbus, Ohio and would move across the city many times, changing schools over eight times up to his Junior year in High School. His hobbies would consist of reading, writing, drawing, and acting. So naturally he found a comfortable niche in the school's plays and other productions.
But he endured several hardships previous to starting his free ride in High School. In the 4th & 5th grades, he was often mocked by the other children for no reason in particular. Throughout his early childhood, his father (who had once been a drug addict) often fought with his mother and was arrested many times, only to be released days later. However, when Dante was eight, his mother and father got into an argument in which his father went to prison and his mother went to jail before being given house arrest.
During his mother and father's incarceration, he was sent to Michigan for the majority of a year to stay with his grandmother and grandfather, before returning to Ohio to live with his mother. Months later, his father would be released from prison, which was a day that Dante would consider one of the greatest of his life. Afterward, Dante's family would move across the city of Columbus on an almost bi-monthly basis. Eventually the family would move back to Michigan, only to be greeted by ill-manners, a financial crisis, an emotional tribulation, and Dante would be driven to consider suicide a rational option.
However, his family would yet again move to Columbus, Ohio. Here, he'd finish out Middle School, along the way making friends and losing them just the same. And he'd discover that his IQ was 146, literally making him a genius. Emotionally, he mellowed out and stopped considering if he should kill himself or not. And he'd also discover that he would find a new hobby: Roleplaying.
Through his most recent summer vacation, Dante spent a respectable amount of his time writing posts for a website called 'Roleplayerguild.' Some days he'd sit around bored and other times he made the mistake of treating it as a substitute for Facebook. But into his Sophomore year, his free time has begun to wane, and so has the amount of time he has been posting. But, he has put forth an effort to post more frequently and branch out of the superhero genre and the circle of friends he often played with.
Other: Dante is known on The Guild as 'Nightrunner,' and chose the name based on a comic book character from a group called Batman Inc. He has an intense passion for Batman and other superheroes of the like.

Brentford FC announced today that it is ready to submit a planning application for the proposed new ground
. The club has spent the last few months preparing the detailed plans for a 20,000 seater stadium in Lionel Road South. These have included several public exhibitions and discussions with various interested parties as the project leaders prepare to put their ideas before Hounslow Councils planning committee. Among the main concerns raised during these meetings have revolved around access, transportation, the lack of education and health facilities, permanent changes to the skyline of West London and the fact the site will include the development of hundreds of extra homes in blocks of flats. There have also been concerns over the fate of the clubs current home at Griffin Park which is to be sold off for housing.
Brian Burgess, Director of the team behind the project; Lionel Road Developments Limited, said: "We accept this is a challenging and complex application. For the past 8 months the project team has been working very hard and we have been engaging with a wide range of local residents and others. We believe we have done as much as we can to balance the concerns some of them have with our financial needs to raise the necessary funds to build a multi-purpose new stadium. Our application has three main objectives: first to secure the long term sustainability of Brentford Football Club; second to provide a new home for the Brentford FC Community Sports Trust charity and its Learning Zone and thirdly to create impetus and assistance in the wider regeneration of this part of Brentford. We believe these proposals will bring a wide range of community benefits to the local area and the borough."
The plans will be on show and members of the development team on hand to answer local residents questions, next Friday May 31 from 2.30pm 6.30pm and Saturday June 1 from 10.30am-1.30pm. Both events will be held at Fountain Leisure Centre, Chiswick High Road, Brentford.

The 2012/13 season is at an end and Bees manager Uwe Rösler, sporting director Mark Warburton and owner Matthew Benham have been in discussions with players.
Keeping the squad together will be the challenge over the summer, admitted Uwe
following Bees' play-off final defeat. He said, "The challenge will be to keep the squad together. If we can do that, we will be fighting for promotion again next season. The owner came into the dressing room afterwards and found some encouraging words for me and the players for next season. My work will now start tomorrow morning to secure the players. I think the players will look back at the season, and what we have been through, and see that Brentford is a good place to be. We have taken this club to a new level, but that last step is always the hardest to take. However, it will be just the start of a new thing to come next year. My players will use it as a motivation. We will learn from the massive experience we have had this season. This team does not know how to give up. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, and this team is hungry anyway in terms of motivation".
Tom Adeyemi - Has come to the end of his contract at Norwich City and
Uwe has expressed a desire to sign him permanently
Jake Bidwell - Has one year remaining on his Everton contract and Uwe is hopeful of signing him on loan for the third season in succession.
Marcello Trotta - Has two years remaining on his Fulham contract and is another player Uwe is hoping to retain on loan. However,
Marcello has said, "I will go back to Fulham and see what happens
. I will do my best and hopefully get some chances over there. They have followed me every week and they have been very happy with my progression. It is crucial that I play first-team football. I am a young player and I need to play, on loan or hopefully at Fulham. It is important for me to play and develop".
Sam Saunders -
Out of contract after failing to make the number of starts required to trigger the automatic one-year extension to his deal
. He is keen to extend his four-stay at the club and has said, "I have had a really good time here. I dont know whats going to happen now. I feel Ive put myself at the back quite a lot this year and Ive put the team first. Coming to 30 I want to be playing. I dont need an assurance to play because no player deserves that. I felt at the beginning of the season I didnt deserve to be playing because I wasnt doing well enough. Since January I feel my performances have picked up. Ive got a good relationship with the gaffer and Mark Warburton. Weve always been honest with each other. Ive loved it here. Everything here is set up for the Championship now. Its exciting to be a part of it. Hopefully its all successful".
Harry Forrester -
Is out of contract and has yet to sign fresh terms
. Has been linked with moves to Championship sides Ipswich Town and Burnley. Bees will be entitled to compensation if Harry leaves because he is under 24.
He has said, "I cant say anything on my future yet
. Ive got a meeting with the owner and well talk about that. Now is not the time. Were devastated that we havent gone up. Well see what happens".
Antoine Gounet - Out of contract and has been meeting with Matthew Benham and Mark Warburton.
Harlee Dean - Has a year left on his contract and the club are understood to be keen to tie down his long-term future.
Adam Forshaw - Has a year left on his contract and the club are understood to be keen to tie down his long-term future.
Bradley Wright-Phillips - Has presumably returned to Charlton after his loan spell. Is out of contract and
as of April did not know where he future lies
Lee Hodson - Has presumably returned to Watford.
Antonio German -
Antonio German has indicated he will not be accepting the offer of a new contract
. The 21-year-old striker was offered full professional terms this summer at the end of his Development Squad contract. He scored one goal in seven substitute appearances for the Club after signing in January 2012. As Antonio is under 24 and has been offered a new contract, Brentford will be due compensation if he signs for another Club.

Six members of Bees successful Development Squad have been offered new terms. The club has also given ten members of the U16 squad scholarships and will keep two more players on extended schoolboy terms.
One year contracts - Josh Clarke (18, defender), Tyrell Miller-Rodney (19, midfielder)
One year contract extension - Antonio German (21, striker), Luke Norris (19, striker), Aaron Pierre (20, defender)
Two year contract extension - Charlie Adams (18, midfielder)
19 year old defender Sam Beale has been out injured for most of this season and has been invited back for pre-season training, when a decision will be made on his future.
Jack Uttridge, who joined Bees from Histon on a short-term Academy contract last month
, has been offered a one-year professional contract to join the clubs Development Squad.
Sam Griffiths and Leon Redwood have not been offered new contracts and they will leave Bees at the end of the season. Sam joined in 2011 and the 20-year-old has played 17 Professional Development League games this term, scoring one goal. Leon signed in the summer of 2012 after a successful trial. The 21-year-old left sided player made 15 Professional Development League appearances this season and scored three goals.
The club has not offered professional terms to four young players coming to the end of their scholarships. Defender Stefan Tomasevic, midfield players Max Herbert and Joe Maloney and striker Myles Hippolyte will all leave Brentford at the end of the season. Goalkeeper James Bransgrove has left the club and signed professional terms at Colchester United.
Ten players from the U16 squad will start two-year scholarships with Bees in the summer. Central defenders Audrius Laucys, Gradi Milenge and Daniel Webster, left back Makhosini Ryan Khayne, central midfield players James Ferry and Zain Westbrook, winger Tom Field, midfield player Herson Rodrigues Alves and strikers Seika Jatta and Courtney Senior will all join the clubs full-time youth ranks at the start of the 2013/14 season. Two more youngsters Bradley Clayton and Jhonttan Castiblanco will be retained on extended schoolboy forms for the 2013/14 season, making them available for the clubs Youth Team.
Brentford Academy Director Ose Aibangee said: We have high hopes for this group of players. We have kept 12 players on from the Under-16 squad and given ten of them full-time scholarships. That is a high number compared to recent years at Brentford and shows the work being done in the Academy is starting to bear fruit. However, it is only if these players keep developing and get in to the First Team picture that we can be truly happy. We look forward to working with these young players over the next two years and helping them develop to be the best they can be.

Bees midfielder Jake Reeves has signed a new two-year deal, which will tie him to the club until the summer of 2015.
Mark Warburton, Brentford Sporting Director, said, We are delighted Jake has committed his future to the Club. He has come through the system at the Club and performed exceptionally in Development Squad games. He has also put in a number of strong performances for the First Team. He benefitted from his loan spell at AFC Wimbledon and showed he could cope with the aggression of League Two football. We are delighted with the way he trains and look forward to him being an important member of the First Team squad in the coming years.
Bees boss Uwe Rösler said, Jake has come through the youth ranks to be a full member of the First Team squad. He has already played a lot of games for us and is consistently on the substitutes bench in an important part of the season. That shows how well he has done here over a period of time. There is more to come from him, he is still a very young player and has the potential to be even better. Jake is a player with a great attitude, good technical ability and understanding of the game. I look forward to working with him over the next few years.
In other loan news, Bees striker Paul Hayes loan at fellow League One side Crawley Town has been extended until April 27, while Leicester Citys England U21 centre back Liam Moore has been recalled by the Foxes, as cover due to injuries.

Conference North side Histon have confirmed young defender Jack Uttridge has signed a one year youth deal with the Bees. The deal allows Jack to continue playing for the Stutes for the remainder of the season, if required. Histon assistant manager Brian Page told the club's official website, "This is a great opportunity for Jack and one he thoroughly deserves. He has been with us for a number of years now and I'm delighted that his hard work has paid off for him. It's great for the other lads to see him get his chance at a pro club and is a real advertisement for what we are doing here with regard to developing young players. Brentford have agreed to send a team down to play us in pre-season and I'm talking to them about one or two other things that they could help us with so it's a good deal for all concerned".
Im buzzing, Jack has said. Ive been down at Brentford for four or five weeks, and am really looking forward to getting into it full time now. The whole year has helped me develop, its gone so quickly. We set out to have an FA Youth Cup run and we executed that. Having the memories of playing the likes of Bradford and Crawley, and then Liverpool coming here was brilliant. It put me in the shop window, but I enjoyed mostly being in and around the first team, having to grow up and stand on my own two feet. I remember when I first had Brian Page as coach at the academy. We used to do fitness tests in the hall at Hinchingbrooke and thats when I knew he meant business because we were doing press-ups and tests literally until we dropped. When the scholars started that was when it was full on and its been great under him. Hes helped me massively.
"I like the attitude at Brentford, its not too different to Histon. The way Histon is run is like a league club and when I went to Brentford I felt really comfortable. Mentally Ive changed a lot but Ive also changed physically. Ive become more of an athlete and put more weight on as well and thats helped me deal with mens football. In the last six months Ive changed more than in the whole scholarship scheme. Im really excited about going to Brentford. Im going to see it as a 12 months trial. I cant let anything slip. Ill keep plugging away and see what happens".

Bees frontman Paul Hayes has joined fellow League One side Crawley Town on loan until April 7th
. He will provide cover for the Red Devils former Bees striker Billy Clarke, who is currently injured.
"Paul's just what we need at this stage of the season", Crawley boss Richie Barker said
. "He will bring experience and hopefully goals for the next few weeks. We don't want to let the season fizzle out. We still feel we can push for the play-offs and for that we perhaps need that bit more experience up front. With Billy Clarke out injured, we are relying on two 20-year-olds and two teenagers at the moment, and although they have all played their part another option up there will we hope make a difference".
Hayes signed for Bees on a three year deal in August 2012 and has so far made 30 appearances in all competitions, scoring 6 goals.

Cyrus Chestnut
Cyrus Chestnut first studied piano with his father at the age of five, with official lessons beginning two years later. By the age of nine, he was enrolled in the prep program at the Peabody Institute. He graduated from Berklee with a degree in jazz composition and arranging. Chestnut took his time, working with a number of top-notch musicians (Jon Hendricks, Betty Carter, Terence Blanchard, and Donald Harrison) before finally recording his first solo CD at the age of 30. Chestnut enjoys mixing styles and resists being typecast in any one niche, though his gospel sound is apparent on a number of his recordings. His initial dates as a leader were recorded for the Japanese label Alfa (reissued on Evidence), and he became an Atlantic artist in 1994. A self-titled LP followed in 1998 with Tribute to Duke Ellington following a year later. In subsequent years, Chestnut remained busy, releasing Charlie Brown Christmas in 2000, the all-original Soul Food in 2001, You Are My Sunshine in 2003, Genuine Chestnut in 2006, and Cyrus Plays Elvis in 2007. The following year, he released Black Nile on Japan's M&I label. ~ Ken Dryden, Rovi
I caught Cyrus Chestnut in concert yesterday, not having heard of him before. Wow! Soulful, yet fantastic technique.
cyrius good jazz
I first heard him late one night in the mid 1990s on BET Jazz. He really captured what jazz was to me. I then went to Scullers in Harvard Square in 1997 and 1998 to see him and have been a lifelong fan ever since. One of a kind musician. A true master.
All I can say is Cyrus is Top Notch! A prodigy, intelligent mixing his classical training with his jazz and gospel styling. A "MUST SEE" if he is in your area. One of my top 3 pianist of all time. And I have seen quite a few in my lifetime!
lcollinscons u l t
Absolutely in the top 5 of my all-time favorite pianists. He's genuine to the core. A beautiful soul whose music reflects his personality.
Not sure of the album title, but about 10 years ago, I picked up a CD where Cyrus did a couple songs with Anita Baker ("My Favorite Things" was one). Those were outstanding, and a great showcase for Anita's talent as well. Always a treat to hear him.
Just heard Cyrus live at Scullers ... like he said "what you're hearing tonight is designed for your ears" ~ yeah ... he and his trio transport you. Love the bass player.
Keep em coming. You are indeed a prodigy!!
I love this guy! What a soulful sound he has mastered on the piano
Just spent 7 days with this fabulous person on the Jazz Cruise. He is unbelievable on the piano and a fine kind-hearted , loving person.
