It can be very frustrating, when a program fails to launch. First, one cannot work in the program, but then it's also difficult to troubleshoot, because you cannot get it to run. There can be various causes of failure to launch, but one culprit can be a plug-in getting in the way of the launching.
One type of "plug-in" that causes a crash/hang when loading is the VST. These are often from audio-editing programs, and appear as .dll's in most cases. When the Adobe program encounters the VST's that it finds on the system, it attempts to load them, even if they did not install with PrE. There is a very quick and tiny line of text on the Splash Screen, indicating which are being loaded. One has to watch very closely to see this text, and as it goes by quickly on a fast computer, can be tough to read. One idea is to set up your video camera and record the loading process, focused on the Splash Screen. Then, when the launch fails, just rewind that tape and shuttle through it, until the Splash Screen disappears. Go back one Frame and pause. What is the very last line in that text? It is likely that that is the problem - that, or maybe the next one - the one we have yet to see...
There are three things that happen with the VST's:
1.) The Adobe program loads them successfully and can use them.
2.) The Adobe program loads them successfully, but cannot use them. In PrPro, the user gets a one-time warning message to that effect. One only sees this message once.
3.) The Adobe program cannot load, nor can it use, the particular VST(s).
With PrPro, the program writes a "blacklist" of the ones that cause the crash. If one has many of these # 3 VST's, the blacklist grows, on every attempted launch, until all are on the blacklist. Then, the program can launch. It will take one launch attempt for each of the offending VST's. On a DAW with tons of VST's (especially the "instruments" VST's), this might mean 20-30 aborted launches, before all are blacklisted. I mention PrPro here, because I have no idea whether PrE does the same thing. Possibly, but I just do not know. I did not realize that PrPro did the automatic blacklist until recently. Most people would only try to launch a couple of times, and then give up.
If one knows which VST's are getting in the way, they could address those. Hence, reading that little text line might be very useful.
Good luck,
Here is a LINK for even more background on VST's.
Hope that this explains what a "VST" is all about.
Here is a response from Adobe engineering, on how PrElements handles VST's:
1. How do we load it?
After the patch, we look into the folder where we install plug-ins and load all VST plug-ins that are found. Before the patch, we used to load VST plug-ins from the common plug-ins location as well.
2. How do we use it once loaded?
Once a plug-in is loaded, it is saved in the list of loaded plug-ins. We refer to this list to locate the module for all the plug-ins.
3. Can we ignore loading it?
Yes, If you open ~/Library/Preferences/, you will find the plist file for PRE 9. You can change the 'Ignore' to '1' for any specific plug-in and it will be ignored from next time. You will need a plist editor for mac for this. On Windows as well you can modify "Ignore" field for any specific plugin from the registry.
4. Do we ignore it if they're present in a different folder/drive?
We don't ignore based on the location. We just load those plug-ins that are in our plug-ins folder. Before the patch, we used to load VST plug-ins from the common plug-ins location as well.
5. Do we keep an entry that we have loaded it?
The plist file in ~/Library/Preferences/ keeps the entry for all plug-ins that we have loaded at least once.
6. Is the VST handling same after Windows patch as well?
Yes, VST handling is same in windows after the patch (we ignore common plug-ins). The plist is replaced by the registry (PluginCache) in the registry
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Premiere Elements\9.0\PluginCache.32\en_US\
Hope that this helps,
That set of instructions came from Adobe Engineering, specifically for Premiere Elements, and PrPro CS 4 is a different program.
Are you on a PC, or on a Mac?
On a PC, many users have Moved their VST's (the ones that they do not want PrPro to load) to the Windows Desktop folder, as PrPro will not look there. Then, all they need to do is point say CubeBase to the Desktop folder. I have no idea how one might do that on a Mac, but others probably do.
Good luck,
I'm on a Mac. That's the problem.
I run PPro cs4 and when it is loading plugins it stops at a plugin called "WaveShell-VST 9.0.vst (it's an audio plugin, nothing to with Premiere). I don't know why it stops, but I have to wait a lot and it never goes on. I tried deleting all this plugin but it also tries to load it.
In the Premiere Pro Forum thread, one of the Adobe Staff members mentioned that that WaveShell VST was popping up a dialog screen, that was appearing behind his PrPro screen, but when he minimized PrPro, or moved it on the screen (cannot recall the exact operation now), he was able to access that WaveShell dialog, then got it to load properly.
Wish that I could help more,

The Oscars
Put me to sleep.
I read all about it this morning at newcritics.
I agree with all the winners but I wish Abigail Breslin would have won Best Supporting Actress (I didn't see Dreamgirls).
But my favorite moment was that Cadillac ad with the M Ward song. It's the first and only Cadillac ad that I ever liked.
Here Comes The Sun Again - M Ward - Transistor Radio
UPDATE: Andrew asked for the video in the comments. After a bit of googling and YouTubing, here it is. I love this ad. It's more like an M Ward music video than a car ad (at least to me) and it's the first time in a long time that I ever would even think about buying a cadillac.

Summary and Book Reviews
The Vanishing Act of Esme Lennox: Summary and book reviews of The Vanishing Act of Esme Lennox by Maggie O'Farrell
The virtue of this book is its absorbing, suspenseful narration. The reader joins Iris on a kind of detective hunt for her family's true story, and O'Farrell masterfully times the clues to both gratify the hunger for answers and extend the mystery even further. Yet the book's downfall is how thoroughly it sacrifices character development to the rhythms of its engrossing plot. The book dips into the heads of its female protagonists—Iris, Esme, and Esme's sister Kitty—but all three remain stock characters without true interiority. Their thoughts and actions are calculated not to reveal how women in their situation might feel but, rather, to reveal the pieces of the puzzle with deft narrative control. This is a serious flaw in a work that aims to pierce the stereotype of the hysterical woman. (Reviewed by Amy Reading). Full Review (1083 words). Media Reviews

Mothers Day DJ Joy
13/05/2012 , 11:25 AM by Helen Clare
Her firstborn baby's very first bed was in a drawer in a caravan.... but it didn't matter because they were close, and together and safe.
This is Joy Rich from Crescent Head, 87 years old and our special guest Mothers Day DJ.
She was nominated by the baby who slept in the drawer all those years ago(!), Patricia who travelled six hours from Narrabri to be with her mum and share the Sunday DJ responsibilities on the radio on Mother's Day.
You can follow this conversation by subscribing to the comment feed for this post.
Helen, this is Patricia. Mum has had 2 people contact her by phone following the program. Thank you for your part in making this Mother's Day special.

Hello Joy
We listened to you this morning and enjoyed your program. My Father in Law, Gordon Dudley Fuller (Doug), who will be 88 years old tomorrow, also came from Quirindi and now lives in Wagga. Perhaps you might remember him or his family. Doug's father worked on the railway and operated the water pump to fill the steam trains on North Street Bridge near the town clock.

Montco Commissioners Have Shared Vision
The new Chairman of the Montgomery County Commissioners, Democrat Josh Shapiro, says Republican Bruce Castor is a full partner in running county government and fixing what's wrong with it. Castor says a lot is wrong.
"The situation had deteriorated so much as far as the actual nuts and bolts of running the government, right down to the cleanliness of the courthouse, and the way that people did their jobs had eroded so much. When the three of us came into office, all of the things that I said during the campaign were all true. It wasn't any exaggeration, and as that has become evident to the three of us, and it may be even worse to some degree than even I thought it was, that creates a commonality of purpose."
Castor says both parties know the courthouse has to be clean and people in important county positions have to be honest and do their jobs well. Shapiro says he and the other Democrat, Vice Chairman Leslie Richards, share Castor's views.
"I've said to Bruce I was disappointed with how many of those areas have been left untouched and issues left unaddressed or unresolved for many years, and let me be very clear. That's not because our workforce is sitting back not doing their jobs. It's because they haven't had the type of leadership necessary to provide the vision, and we're providing that to them."
Shapiro says he, Castor and Richards walk the hallways of the courthouse and other county buildings, and the people they talk to know that all three commissioners have a shared vision of what county government should be doing. Shapiro and Castor appeared recently on the WNPV talk program Comment Please by Univest.

It's up to the Iowa and New Hampshire voters to see if the country will go green in the next administration. But, astonishingly, the five most important television journalists in America have neglected to ask candidates many questions about global warming in their interviews in the run-up to the Iowa caucus and New Hampshire Primary. This means you, Messrs. Blitzer, Russert, Wallace, Schieffer and Stephanopoulos.
Readers of TheDailyGreen may have missed it while enjoying their hormone- and cage-free, locally sourced eggnog over the holidays, but on December 19th, the League of Conservation voters released their startling analysis of the questions posed this primary season by the top five hosts of political television shows. They found that of the 2,275 questions these pundits asked the candidates on-air this year in interviews and debates, only 24 were related to the topic of climate change or global warming. In fact, the words "global warming" or "climate change" were only uttered three times.
The League of Conservation Voters is billed as the independent political voice for the environment. They are the source of a fair share of the information you'll find on our Green Your Vote Primary Voter's Guide created by TheDailyGreen's news editor Dan Shapley. Here's the League's hilarious-in-a-hideous-way video showing the questions America's favorite pundits asked instead of the global warming questions.
Dear Wolf, I watch you nearly every evening. Tim? I haven't missed your Sunday show for years. Sometimes I even watch the re-run on Sunday night. Chris? Your show on Fox News is one of the best thing they've got. Bob Schieffer? How cool was it that your ratings soared when your bosses wanted a younger anchor on the news? And George, This Week hasn't been this good in years. One question, guys...what are you thinking???
It's not too late to ask the questions America wants to hear on climate change! Here are the 3 questions TheDailyGreen wants the candidates to answer--on-air---in front of the whole warming world.
1. Yes or No: Do you agree with those members of the scientific community who say that industrialized nations need to cut greenhouse gas emissions fast to avoid the most catastrophic consequences of global warming?
2. As President, what would you do as your first act to address global warming and when would you do it?
3. The next President will have to address the Iraq War, homeland security and a shaky economy. Do you pledge to not let these other important issues push aside an aggressive global warming agenda?
Wolf, Tim, Chris, Bob, George...it's not too late. The ball's in your court.
Here's TheDailyGreen's 12/26 coverage of the story.
Also: Tell Us the questions YOU want asked of the candidates in the comments section below.
Also: Send a Vote Green e-card to a friend in Iowa or New Hampshire!
Enter your city or zip code to get your local temperature and air quality and find local green food and recycling resources near you.

The small island of Umi-Gawa is a small peaceful island off of the coast of Japan with a population of around two-thousand, the only way to get to the island is by ferry, boat or by sea plane. The island is very small having only one small school, a health clinic, with a small police station, and fire station and downtown restaurants and small stores and a shrine to the island's deity Hiro-Jin. Though recently there has been a bridge construction project thirty-five years ago to connect Umi-Gawa to the mainland which some of the people of the small island community opposed to it. Though some of the people wanted it causing some turmoil on the island causing the project to be put on hold after some of the workers had either gone missing, or were killed in a brutal way, which some people say it is the curse of Hiro-Jin. Every year during the islands annual celebration someone has either ended up going missing, or murdered.

I find Charles Keiger's work pedestrian and derivative. It is based in subjective and laughable surrealism, all stolen from the greats and reduced here for consumption for those he thinks do not know his influences. A sad example of modern "surrealistic" art - (f)art for the simpleminded who "love pretty horsies." Honestly, get some Grant Wood and do yourself a favor.

love reviled
It has never been my intention, nor is it my intention now, to turn this blog into something political. I always intended my writing here to act as a catalyst for ideas, an exchange of thought or even unpopular expression. Be that as it may, it is not unknown for me to receive hate mail. This is generally the sort condemning me to hell, accusing me of pederasty and/or other heinous acts, all in the name of defending morals and protecting precious orthodoxies from my unsavory brand of thought crime.
None of this has forced me from my perch. Indeed, there have been times when my chest has swelled with pride at these take downs, because if there's push back, someone's reading, thinking, considering. What does disappoint me is rote hate. I always prefer imaginative, one-off hate if I have a choice, but that doesn't seem to be part of the sturm und drang of those who read my thoughts and then insist that I shall burn in hell for all eternity. At least identify to which circle of hell I am to be condemned so I know who to expect for cocktails.
Of late, however, there has been such a hue and cry against homosexuals and such a concerted effort to keep us from expressing our love, that I feel compelled to bring up a few points that may be worth noting... or not... depending on how much comfort you experience running with a mob or how much of your precious reason you have ceded to religious fanatics. Either way, these points carry political ramifications whether I like it or not.
First of all, I'll say that I'm not opposed to religion... that is, I'm not opposed to the private, dignified practice of following one's beliefs in a church, mosque, synagog or temple... even a living room. But when those same beliefs are dragged into the public square and inflicted on a group against their will, in the name of a 'morality' based on a deeply flawed book, and told that if they do not bow they will be condemned to hell, then the only response is defiance. As noted by Christopher Hitchens, given one verse from one chapter of the gospel of St. John, the one where Jews bring down the blood of Jesus Christ on their heads for all generations, hundreds of years of pogroms were evoked in the name of that very same morality. And in that same book and according to that same morality, the warrant exists for slavery, for the subjection of women as chattel, for torture and for ethnic cleansing. So don't lecture me on what's right or wrong. You don't have the credentials. If your reasoning capabilities are that seriously impaired go and live in a cave so you don't hurt anyone.
A quick look on the Net yields six verses condemning homosexuality in the Bible, none of them attributed to Jesus, by the way, so the evidence is a bit thin, especially when you delve down into some serious translation problems or consider that, after all, the whole reason for this game is because St. Paul decided to grab the religion and run. Still, my right to love must be subject to a vote of my neighbors, many of whom do not only not share my belief system, but actually place their personal convictions above mine, because all has been revealed to them. A conviction I not only don't accept, but hold up to ridicule and condemn as unproven, hateful, bigoted superstition, as is my right.
Here's the point: we're none of us going away. Myopic religious have been trying to get rid of us for two thousand years, usually in pretty awful ways: roasting alive, sawing in two, throwing us into pits with starving dogs (a favorite of monks in the New World intent on eradicating a thousand year old Berdache tradition that was so far beyond their feeble comprehension that they may just as well have been on Mars). In any case, we're still here, stronger and more established than ever and getting stronger every day. Great job!
The overwhelming tragedy here is not only that millions are condemned to suffering and despair because, in some very narrow judgment, they are sluts, layabouts and sinners, and I cannot accept that such a moral imperative lies within anyone's pervue in any case, but that it's all so senseless. The research is there, facts abound, regarding the benefits of same sex marriage, the positive consequences of a woman's right to choose, the betterment of children raised in ANY loving home. But it's all ignored in favor of radical, willfully ignorant superstition at a level close to witch burning. Where are your minds, people? This is so very serious.
Just in case you missed my point. Watch it. Learn from it. Share it.

CMH has implemented safety measures to prevent the spread of influenza.
In response to the outbreak of influenza in our area, CMH is temporarily adopting a new visitor policy, until further notice. Visiting children, age 18 and younger will be restricted access to the Hospital building for the health and safety of our patients and caregivers.
Children are presenting with flu-like symptoms at an increasing rate in our region and may be incubating the disease for up to 24 hours before feeling ill. Special considerations will be made for children of critically-ill family members. These will be addressed on a case-by-case basis with appropriate precautions.
"Our hospital and the Health Center have respiratory hygiene cough etiquette in the waiting areas, with signs posted reminding people to cover their coughs, wash their hands and wear masks if necessary, " said Mike Grisdale, CMH Director of Public Relations. " We also have put measures in place to limit visitors as the situation develops. We do not want people visiting if they are feeling ill."
We are seeing an increased amount of respiratory illnesses in our clinics, emergency department and our Urgent Care Walk-in Clinic. Many are presenting with flu-like symptoms.
When to go to the doctor? If you feel you have flu-like symptoms and fall into a high risk category, you should see your health care provider. (See list below)
When to seek emergency care? If you are experiencing severe flu symptoms you need to seek immediate medical attention. (See list below)
Most of those suffering from the current outbreak of the flu will probably be sick for several days with fever and respiratory symptoms.
For more information on guidelines and recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control, check out their website HERE.
These individuals that develop flu-like symptoms should see a doctor:
· Children younger than 2 years old
· Adults 65 and older
· Pregnant women and women up to 2 weeks postpartum
· Persons with the following conditions:
-Chronic pulmonary, cardiovascular, renal, hepatic, hematological or metabolic disorders
-Disorders that can compromise respiratory function
-Immunosuppression, including that caused by medication or by HIV
Seek immediate medical attention if your child experiences any of the following:
· Fast Breathing or trouble breathing
· Bluish or gray skin color
· Not drinking enough fluids
· Severe or persistent vomiting
· Not waking up or interacting
· Being so irritable that the child does not want to be held
· Flu-like symptoms improve but then return with fever and worse cough
In adults, emergency warning signs that need urgent medical attention include:
· Difficulty breathing or shortness of breath
· Pain or pressure in the chest or abdomen
· Sudden dizziness
· Confusion

One semester down, one to go for the first year of classes at Father McGivney Catholic High School in Maryville.
Nineteen students enrolled at the new school, which occupies one wing of St. John Neumann elementary. Long-term plans call for construction of a permanent building in Glen Carbon.
"It was a great beginning," said principal Mike Scholz. "This is my 40th year in education, and I couldn't be happier. The kids are doing exceptionally well. The goals we set for community service are right on track."
Only freshmen were admitted to McGivney in August. They will become sophomores next fall, making way for a second freshman class. All four grades should be in place by 2015.
The inaugural class includes Danielle Villhard, who transferred from St. Mary's elementary in Edwardsville. Her parents, Diane and Doug Villhard, led the grassroots effort to create a new school. Doug is board president.
"I was a little bit apprehensive and nervous at first," said Danielle, 14, of Glen Carbon. "But (the first semester) exceeded my expectations. I didn't think I would make friends so quickly and get to know people. But we're becoming like family."
McGivney's mascot is the Griffin, a creature from ancient Greek folklore with a lion's body and eagle's head and wings.
The school doesn't have any sports teams yet, but that didn't stop students from planning a homecoming with themed dress days, pep rally, bonfire, tailgate party and dance.
"We had planned to play a flag football game, but it rained so darn hard," the principal said. "We had a trivia contest instead."
Danielle serves as editor of the newly created yearbook committee. The school also has a recycling club called the Green Griffins that is building a peace garden outside, as well as a Math Squad and Spanish Club.
Danielle doesn't mind sharing a building with elementary students, although the two age groups cross paths only when McGivney students are headed to the chapel or cafeteria. They take their food back to a private lounge.
"It's really cool," Danielle said. "We get to see (the younger kids) in the hallway, and they always smile at us or give us high 5s. We've developed relationships with some of the eighth-graders and talked to them about coming to McGivney next year."
Danielle would like to see a drama program developed. Plans already are being made for a soccer team next year.
McGivney is carving its niche as one of the most technologically advanced schools in the metro-east. Classrooms are equipped with state-of-the-art media systems. Each student gets an iPad and a laptop.
"We will be using all e-books by next semester, even for theology," the principal said. "The only (print) book students will have is the Bible."

What do you guys think of this 5830? It's got the nice dual-fan cooler and the price seems pretty good. GIGABYTE GV-R583UD-1GD Radeon HD 5830 1GB 256-bit ...
here is W1zzard's Review on MSI's 5830 From what I've seen.. their not worth it if you can hold off to get a 5850..
It seems that although it's a good bit better than my old 4870, a 5850 would give you a lot more bang for the buck. I guess I'll keep looking for a 5850 then.
Been there, done that I meant that I was the first poster on page 200 for this thread. EDIT: Oh, forgot I have it set to 50 posts per page OK, so first on page 399 at default setting
So I'm not going to be able to get performance info or even a SS of the quad-quad core Xeon system, apparently Intel wanted it back last November, so he hasn't had it since December
Just got the a another board from sNiPeRbOb today and went to install it to get the Quad-Cruncher back online only to discover that the H50 doesn't fit in Thermaltake's V3 case.:shadedshu I guess I will just use my lame V8 cooler.
Because the the case provides no space between the top of the 120mm fan mounts. When I tried to mount it on the back the rad hits the top and wont line up with the fan holes.
haha yeah really! ....AND I tried to mount it on the top vents but the ram clamops wont allow me to mount a fan. Will the H50 work as a passive?
Well I was thinking of mounting it on the top (2nd pic) and then just mount a fan/shroud on the top outside of the case.
Don't worry. The 10,000 post mark is coming up. You can still make it. He just needs a bigger hammer. Remember if it doesn't fit, you just havn't hit it hard enough. Though, some reassembly may be required afterwords.
Mount it on the back of the case on the outside sideways with the tubes towards the side panel. Or mount on the top of the case like second pic with fan on the outside.
what you could do T77 is put a fun on both sides of the rad as a push/pull then mount it to the case by a fan instead of straight to the case
post 10,000 will edit with real post EDIT: That's OK, thanks for trying Thanks to you, I just sat here pressing F5 for 10 minutes lol
says 10,000 for me, and I just checked like ten minutes ago and read what mastrdrver said, then noticed that it was 3 posts away lol EDIT: See, #10000

Local Man Still Has Eye On Old SAHS As Movie Set
Filmmaker Eric Moyer of Souderton says he still hopes to shoot "School Spirits" at the old high school (pictured here), which closed two years ago. He graduated from the school in 1991, and he says it's the perfect movie set.
"You couldn't ask for a better set. My film is set in an abandoned high school. They aren't doing anything with it, and I know it's costing the taxpayers money, so I went to them with my offer and the superintendent said no."
He says he made a good offer.
"I was going to cover liability insurance. I was going to offer them an amount of money to be determined. I offered to get the students involved as production assistants. I offered to set up a film and media scholarship fund. I offered to cover every expense that they would incur. I was told that they were worried about the floodgates opening for more productions, and I say let the floodgates open. Why not rent the building out? It's costing them money."

You saw the headline and thought, "Great. Someone with some real Father's Day ideas!" Perhaps you should be prepared to be disappointed.
Truth is, most fathers don't want much for Father's Day, if anything at all. A "no gifts allowed" policy is not a bad idea. Marietta Patch's father mostly wanted a buddy to watch sports with and maybe play catch for an hour or so or hit some kind of ball, tennis, football or baseball or otherwise.
Marietta Patch's daughter probably gets tired of hearing this answer to her queries: "Nothing. Well, how about just be a great kid."
That should be enough, right?
But that doesn't really help, does it? So here are a few suggestions:
1. Do a bunch of chores around the house, particular if your dad usually completes them. Mow the lawn, wash the car, clean the garage. Do it without asking or without expectations of money or huge praise. Just do it.
2. Take him to his favorite amusement park. The key here is, you make the arrangements. All of them including whether to eat the hot dogs and funnel cakes in the park or grab lunch somewhere else. Make him think as little as possible so he can enjoy every second of the visit.
3. Treat him to a sporting event. The Atlanta Braves are running hot right now, and, yes, they have a home game on Sunday against the Texas Rangers.
4. Leave him alone. Let him watch television or hang around the house or go off with his guy friends. Don't nag him or pester him. Let him enjoy a stress-free day.
5. Just be a good kid.

Should they be more tender to the trans gender.
That's the plan for the Los Angeles police department which -- issued new guidelines for interacting with the trans gender community during stops and searches.
A recent memo tells -- to respect the expressed gender and not to question it and bans them from frisking people for the sole purpose of learning said gender.
And also cautions officers to think twice before calling transgendered persons are -- man my suggestion probably -- sand.
Anyway the LAPD also announced that arrested transgendered men and women will get their own wing in a woman's -- by the end of the month.
Clearly we must discussed in the light.
Being -- and alone.
Lightning round lord what do you think is it's asking too much of the officers were not enough -- too much to wait too much.
First of all if -- -- if someone is suspicious to you I don't care if you're sensitive towards them you should check every part of them to make sure that they don't have anything on them and numbered so.
Talking about the separate -- playing.
Don't they -- this includes -- now.
Other names on Tuesday afternoon the clothing I think the question of what's underneath.
Well yeah I would have for a while but yeah.
Senator -- Where they have their own you know they're given hormones that isn't saying right but -- and special club at -- bit.
It hidden very well I hit somebody had suggested that transcended get their -- -- in a jail or.
What are they just be assigned based on the gender they -- and yeah I mean I've.
That's fun I have no problem -- said I mean they said look you're gonna get beaten up.
If you're in general population -- I think that there's probably a big risk of getting beaten up for any reason -- did a Los Angeles so you can all win it's it's almost treating them like freaks like -- what I did I do you know if they wanted to identify as whatever gender right out of the women's wanna government -- the problem with.
Joseph you -- often arrested in the company of the transgendered.
Are you that is -- are you looking forward -- -- under its faults I.
I had that question got a lot of lawyers.
Are you looking forward to the cost at least being more polite about it now.
I am looking for more looking forward to more -- police officers.
And I gonna appreciate when they stop calling -- man when it.
-- gets the separate wing thing against that idea is it when I do go to prison.
-- -- -- -- to a merciful god that I would be lucky enough to have a train engine yourself not just a regular dude that's gonna make.
Love is the Arab -- yeah hey bill.
Went national her -- for a -- do you prefer to be called sir and -- well that's the thing I can treat it should come out right personnel.
First -- in the female president and I sort of sequencing.
And I I and Gary Darnell president and I didn't -- outside a lot more than may be right and also questioned his veracity of the story period.
I refuse to believe that anyone transgendered ever done anything legal ever ever -- There hasn't and I just think -- -- People I'll get -- -- don't let it -- me those would just be me and yeah they're kind of our center and calling lady man.

haha lol. I'll be on soon!
Is it a Bukkit server or vanilla? Can I spawn stuff or on my own?
Bukkit server, but its survival so you can't spawn things but you do have access to various commands like /sethome /home etc
im gunna have a sesh now if your on
ah right ok. Whens it due?
Never played this, but it just looks like digital Lego with infinite blocks of many more varieties. Why is it so addictive?
Not sure but soon
does anyone know if you can make a swimming pool more than 1 block deep? like iv got the big pool and took away alot of ground and built a wall, and i keep adding buckets of water to it but it doesnt get any deeper? and I can dig down because theres a tunnel underneath it!
I'm not sure about making it deeper. Try places blocks right up until its 1 layer deep. Fill that, then dig below. Think thats the only way.
1. Is it worth buying2. How long does it take to get into3. Is it single player or multi playerI'm talking about the PC version. Played a demo - how ace is it?
Mods I think?
I've seen iron golems on certain minecraft websites, but on our RAWK server, I'm yet to see one. Is it just a single player thing?
It's not a mod but a mob that spawns near NPC villages. I think it depends on when the RAWK server was created as the map may not have NPC villages.

I like these pillows however I am sending back the caviar and teal pillows because the teal is more of a greenish teal than a blue teal and doesn't match with my living room. Also the caviar is just black and I thought it was dark gray. I want to keep the slate gray one but I am wondering if I should since I won't have any other pillows to match the style. Maybe I will go with many different types of pillows on my couch instead of the same one in different colors?!
It looked kind of dinky in the picture, but actually is a full, plush pillow. The Venetian red is a very nice medium red. It is a slightly cooler tone than looked on screen (to me on screen it looked like it had orange undertones but thankfully in person that is not the case.) The pleating adds a nice touch. The quality seems excellent but as I just purchased today I cannot comment on quality over time.
These pillow are perfect - I got them in Avocado green and the color is a little darker than it appeared on my computer - more like a spruce green
I recently had new carpet installed in a dark brown. I needed decorative pillows in a certain color and these filled the bill---exactly the right shade of blue. I could not have done better if I had hand picked them. And they have an elegance unbelievable. Ncs
Color was exactly what I was expectng and wanted. Should be easy care too.
selected the navy color for master bedroom - beautiful fabric, high quality and the pillows are perky meaning they stay in place - zipper style will be convenient for cleaning - look great with my collection of other pillows on master queen bed
These pillows are beautiful and functional! They are very large in size and the covers can be removed and washed to restore its beauty! I do recommend these for kid friendly homes as well as style seekers however the price could be a little more budget friendly!
Great purchase and received in a timely manner. Accents my home decor nicely. I really enjoy shopping at Overstock for my home decor needs.
The pillows arrived in a plastic bag and were crunched and wrinkled... Didn't matter as I wasn't keeping them... Knew from the minute I opened the pkg. that the quality was poor. the insides, once they unscrunched was uncomfortable. I have ordered many items from O, but the quality of late seems to be less of what is advertised

Throughout the seven pieces on Innen, Mezei's viola is both supported and challenged by Bogdan Rankovic's reeds, Branislav Aksin's trombone and Kornel Papista's tuba, all four musicians of this small orchestra servicing the composer's ideas as well as entering into improvisational exchanges, and taking the music to impressive heights of creativity, consistency and virtuosity."-Ayler Records

Scientists Have Figured Out How To Get a Song Out of Your Head:
A new study has figured out the best way to get a song out of your head. Researchers found that if you work on a puzzle or play a game that's just 'sort of' hard, it'll force your brain to concentrate on something else, and push the song out. But a puzzle that's too easy or too hard won't engage your mind enough.
One in 14 Women Are More Likely to Sleep With You If You Spend $150 on Dinner:
According to a survey by MSN, spending a lot of money on dinner WILL occasionally get a woman to sleep with you. One in five men admit that they "expect" to sleep with a woman if they spend $150 on dinner . . . and one in 14 women say that they would feel "obliged" to sleep with a guy if he spent that much.
Men Think Brunettes Are Better Cooks and Freakier in Bed Than Blondes:
According to a new survey, men prefer EVERYTHING about brunettes, and apparently nothing about blondes. That sounds exaggerated, but these are the numbers, and who are we to argue with numbers? Here's what we've got . . .
54% of men say they'd most want to marry a brunette. Only 16% say they'd most want to marry a blonde.
48% would rather date a brunette, and 25% would rather date a blonde.
And check this out: The men in the survey also said that brunettes take better care of their appearance, are better cooks, are better at cleaning, are better with money, are deeper, are more sensible, and . . . are FREAKIER IN BED than blondes.
You Have a Biological Instinct Not to Have Sex With Your Friends' Wives:
Good news . . . your friends are NOT trying to have sex with your wife. A new study has found that men are biologically programmed NOT to try to have sex with their friends' wives. Men's testosterone levels drop when they talk to friends' wives, because we've evolved to respect and value our bonds with our friends.

2011 Fantasy Football: Busts, Players to Avoid
There will be many more 2011 Fantasy Football Rankings and features in the summer, including tons of 2011 Fantasy Football Mock Drafts, Player Rankings, Sleepers and Busts. I'll also have an extensive 2011 NFL Fantasy Football Preseason Stock Report. Follow me @walterfootball for updates.
2011 Fantasy Football - Busts, Players to Avoid (Updated July 25):
This is a list of players to avoid in your 2011 Fantasy Football Drafts. Some of these players have injury/age risks. Others are overvalued and will be drafted too early.
10. DeSean Jackson, WR, Eagles
DeSean Jackson suffered a monstrous hit in a Thursday night battle against the Texans. Ever since then, he ran nothing but go routes. He demolished the Cowboys the following Sunday, but subsequent teams caught on. Jackson's final three games: seven catches, 131 yards, no touchdowns. And speaking of no touchdowns, Jackson found the end zone only once after Nov. 15.
Jackson is one of the most dynamic players in the NFL, but he's way too brittle. Let someone else spend an early pick on him.
9. Marques Colston, WR, Saints
I currently have Marques Colston at No. 50 in my 2011 Fantasy Football Top 150 Cheat Sheet, so if I could get him in the fifth round, I wouldn't have any problem with that. The issue is that Colston is being drafted earlier than this despite the fact that he's coming off his fifth knee procedure in five years.
8. Peyton Hillis, RB, Browns
I owned Peyton Hillis in many of my leagues last year. While he got me to the playoffs in all of those leagues, he also cost me in the playoffs when he wore down and did nothing. Hillis cannot shoulder a heavy workload, yet he's being drafted like he can. He's going way too early in many fantasy mock drafts.
7. Michael Crabtree, WR, 49ers
Michael Crabtree has been busy this offseason. He's spent half his summer vacation berating Alex Smith. When he hasn't been doing that, he's been taking care of his foot injury - the same foot that caused him to drop in the 2009 NFL Draft. Crabtree is a douche - an injured douche - and he and Smith just don't have a very good rapport. Don't bother with Crabtree. Until he adjusts his attitude, he won't accomplish much in the NFL.
6. Daniel Thomas, RB, Dolphins
As of this writing, Mark Ingram's ADP is 5.09. That's fine because he figures to score a bunch of touchdowns in New Orleans' offense. But what is Daniel Thomas going to do? Thomas won't have nearly as many red-zone opportunities. And he's not even guaranteed the starting gig; the Dolphins have discussed bringing a free agent in to complement Thomas, who has an insanely early ADP of 6.02.
5. Ryan Torain and Roy Helu, RBs, Redskins
A popular mid-round draft strategy this year is to obtain both Ryan Torain and Roy Helu.
"Muhahahaha!" these people laugh. "I've just guaranteed myself the starting running back of the Washington Redskins!"
Well, congratu-f***ing-lations. You've used two mid-round picks to obtain a pair of mediocre talents, one of whom figures to average 3.1 yards per carry for the worst offense in the NFL.
Don't overthink things. Avoid these bums and focus on drafting better players.
4. Michael Turner, RB, Falcons
If you've been reading this Web site for a while, you'd be shocked if Michael Turner didn't make this list. Turner's ADP is insanely high at 2.02. He's not even in my top 20 running backs. Check the 2011 Fantasy Football Running Back Rankings to read why.
3. Knowshon Moreno, RB, Broncos
Knowshon Moreno's ADP as of this writing is 4.09. Also as of this writing, the Broncos are considered the favorites to land DeAngelo Williams. Denver reportedly doesn't see Moreno as an every-down runner, which makes you wonder why Josh McDaniels spent such an early draft pick on Moreno.
Even if the Broncos don't sign Williams and keep Moreno as their starter, I still wouldn't touch Moreno anywhere near the fourth round. He can't stay healthy, his work ethic stinks, and he's not going to score many touchdowns with Tim Tebow getting all of the work inside the 5-yard line.
2. BenJarvus Green-Ellis, RB, Patriots
Scouring through Fantasy Football Calculator's ADP list, I was SHOCKED to see BenJarvus Green-Ellis at 6.06. God doesn't even know what the hell Bill Belichick is going to do with his billion running backs, so I just don't understand how anyone can spend such an early pick on Green-Ellis. Let's wait until the preseason - maybe we can figure out what Belichick plans on doing then.
1. Anquan Boldin, WR, Ravens
Anquan Boldin's ADP is insanely high at 5.09. I don't get it. Have people forgotten that he averaged 35.4 yards and scored two touchdowns in the final nine weeks of the 2011 season? And that doesn't even include his brilliant performance at Pittsburgh in the second round of the playoffs: one catch, minus-2 yards.
Boldin's done. He can't separate anymore, and unlike his time in Arizona, he no longer has the luxury of having Larry Fitzgerald on the other side to draw attention away from the opposition. He's currently No. 60 in my 2011 Fantasy Football Wide Receiver rankings.

Don't disagree Boldin is over the hill, but who else is Flacco going to throw to?

you need to update your comments on Moreno.
Williams is not a factor anymore.

Boldin in round 5 is looking pretty good now.

Still if you can get hillis at a good value he will produce for most of the season

Walt, now with Todd Heap, Derrick Mason, and TJ Houshmanzadeh not coming back to Baltimore, do you still think Boldin is a major bust candidate? He looks to be the only guy left there to get the targets. The rookies won't be ready to produce by the start of the season.

I agree on Hillis busting all the way. Maybe not for the same reason though. Even if he doesn't wear down at the end of the season his playoff schedule is brutal. Baltimore twice to go along with the steelers.

Besides that Lions game, he had more than 67 total yards in all of the games he played (I think it was 8 others). Not bad for a mid-round pick, also he'll surely get some TDs because of his power and he is a factor in the receiving game despite what you may think. IMO, he doesn't make a terrible mid-round selection. You can do worse than Torain.

Walt, Ryan Torain's not even that bad. The problem is he's one of the most injury prone players in the league. Averaged 4.5 YPC last year, 4 TDs, 900+ total yards with 6 TDs in 10 games. That's quite good. Look at his game log. The only game he played that he wasn't actually productive in was against Detriot (9 carries for 10 yds and he still averaged 4.5 YPC for the year despite this game) but he had a receiving TD that game. He had 3 games over 100 yds rushing. In all of the games he played he had more than 60 total yards and/or a TD. That's not bad for a mid-round back, but, once again, he can't stay healthy. That'd be the only reason to stay away from him, not because he's a mediocre talent. As for Roy Helu, we've never even see him play a pre-season game so how can you call him a mediocre talent. I realize you might not like rookies with the lockout, but Helu could very well end up being a productive rookie runningback in his rookie year because Torain's guaranteed to miss 4+ games.

Is there any chance you can use a different ADP calculator? I feel like seeing the overall position of where the player is going is more useful than which round, then the pick in that round. Just my opinion...

Where's Brandon Lloyd? I'm definitely not letting him on any of my teams. He's already lost Josh McDaniels, and he'll probably lose Kyle Orton. Plus he has to be past his prime.
