If the UFC went to AS and said, your fighting Weidman next heres the contract he signed it already now you have to and he said "No, im not fighting him" then yes i would agree that he ducked weidman, but that isnt the case.
Got a lot of soul searching to do. Sorry to everyone I've let down
All manner of men came to work for the News: everything from wild young Turks who wanted to rip the world in half and start all over again -- to tired, beer-bellied old hacks who wanted nothing more than to live out their days in peace before a bunch of lunatics ripped the world in half.

Yeah, Bye.
Where is Rampage###? I'd think he'd be all over this thread. Is he on timeout? lol.
Thankfully, like you said, it is up to Joe Silva/Dana White to determine who he has to fight. Otherwise, I have no doubt that Anderson would have chosen to not fight the number 1 contender in his weight class.
To be fair, I don't think Anderson tried ducking Weidman because he is afraid of him. It's just not a favorable risk/reward ratio in Anderson's opinion. But as a champion, you shouldn't be able to pick and choose who you think the #1 contender should be... :cough: Georges :cough:

Here ya go.
Well it be just another top contender that Anderson finishes and makes look like an amateur in the process?
I hope this isn't too big, because it's awesome.

Rated 5 out of 5 by orangecat9 If This Is Jail Wear â Lock Me Up! I bought this t-shirt in the black/charcoal colour; size medium in a store in Toronto. It was love at first sight. It is so my style: casual with clean lines; a little different and slightly edgy. I tried the large first . The sales person told me that it was a perfect fit. I did not agree so I tried on the medium. Although the über helpful sales person was still sold on the large, I knew that because the material was so thin that after wearing it for half an hour the material would stretch and "bag out" â if you know what I mean. I don't like sloppy and it was the right decision; as it's a perfect fit. I'm 5'6", 135 with a 36B chest. I have received many compliments while wearing this â it's slimming and people love the scalloped hemline and interesting fabric. What I love most about this t-shirt is that the fabric looks "heavy", almost like corduroy but it's ultra light and great for layering. I will wear it year round. I have worn it over my Black Seamless Mini with skinny jeans as well as under my Black Pieced Geo Viscose Voile Slip with leggings. I wash it by hand because I love it so much. I will likely buy another one, exactly the same since the price is so amazing. I also love the cherry red colour that I see online but in the Toronto stores it looks more like a faded orange. Bottom line â I highly recommend this t-shirt! 11.21.2012
Rated 4 out of 5Â by JHugs I like it I guess This shirt is very soft and comfortable, which I love however, I am a 36'/27"/35" and if I got another one, I would definetly get a small. I feel like I'm drowning in it. 11.17.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Ruffflesandlace neon shirt Cute shirt...,great price for next fall layering piece... The xs fits great I am 5'2 108 lbs... I would recommend this item 5.23.2013
Rated 1 out of 5Â by cher Bummer I received this in black today. Very cheap material and cheap looking coloring 'stripes'. The fabric is super soft but not really in a cozy way, it is very thin and poufs out at the sides. For $50 I expected a more substantial piece. This one's going' back for sure. 2.13.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by SunsetLove Love!!!! This turned out to be one of my favorite fall purchases. I got this in the Charcoal and the Cherry. It is soft and comfy. Great for layering because it's not too heavy. It's edgy yet soft looking. I've gotten many compliments every time I wear it. I also got the thumbs up from my boyfriend. I'm 5"7 and 130lbs and I wear a small. It's seems to cling and stretch in just the right way. Sexy comfort. Love! 2.8.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Catwoman Great, comfy laying piece I found this in the purple color the other day and am really pleased with it. Roomy, but not huge. Drapes in a soft, sexy way when not being used as an under-layering piece. Terrific under my lighter tunics - makes them more versatile for winter. Glad there isn't more synthetic in it because it's just at my breaking point on that issue. I prefer natureal fabrics! 1.30.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by mercy4animals Love it I love this top. The colour was even better than in the picture. The fabric is soft and comfortable. Sizing was true to size. You can wear it alone are under jackets. 1.21.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by crowdedrooms Versatile piece. This shirt is great for layering, but it also works alone. The shirt is a bit large in the torso area, but it's not so large that I'd consider it to be a sizing issue. The fabric is very soft, and the detailing along the bottom edge adds a nice touch as well. I also like how the shirt is more of a faded black rather than a solid black. It adds character to the piece. Overall, it's a great piece. It isn't too warm, but it isn't too light so that I was cold in 30 degree weather. 12.26.2012

New Updates On The Second Series Of 'Halo 4' Action Figures!
Figures To Include New Unlockable 'Halo 4' Content
Wednesday, March 27, 2013
You've waited and waited…Now your patience shall be rewarded.
The second series of action figures based on Microsoft Studios and 343 Industries latest major game title - Halo 4®will be hitting stores this fall! Just like Halo 4 Series 1, this line brings fans all-new, never-before-seen characters, weapons, accessories, and vehicles from Halo 4 to your figure collection. Each highly detailed figure will stand approximately six inches tall and include an average of 25 points of articulation.
As an added bonus, each figure will also include a unique code that unlocks exclusive Halo 4 video game content…More information coming soon!
No needed to pull out your replica Plasma Rifle…Here is the official line up for the second series of Halo 4 action figures!
Our latest action figure of John-117, the Master Chief, features an all-new weapon, debuting for the first time in Halo 4: the Asymmetric Recoilless Carbine-920; better known as the Railgun. The ARC-920 Railgun is a compact-channel linear accelerator that fires a high-explosive round at incredible speed, delivering both kinetic and explosive force to hard and soft targets alike.
As an added bonus, the Master Chief also comes with a free Micro Ops figure of Cortana. Perfectly in scale with our other Micro Ops figures, Cortana also works as an accessory to our standard six-inch figures. Cortana can be removed from her base and held in a figure's hand, just as she's often seen throughout the Halo video game series!
The Elites are back in Halo 4, including the popular Ranger variant as depicted in Halo: Reach. Elite Rangers feature a fully-sealed environment suit and an airtight helmet with clear visor; perfect for extra-vehicular activity in the vacuum of space. Our Elite Ranger figure comes with the redesigned, Halo 4 version of the Beam Rifle.
The Kig-Yar, commonly known as Jackals, return in Halo 4 as part of the alien Covenant that continues to threaten humanity and the UNSC. The Storm Jackal features the new, more sinister look seen in Halo 4. Figure includes the redesigned version of the Covenant Carbine weapon.
The fan-favorite Scout armor, previously seen in both Halo 3 and Halo: Reach,, returns in an updated, yet instantly recognizable form for the Spartan-IVs of the UNSC Infinity in Halo 4. Our Spartan Scout figure features a rust paint scheme, and comes equipped with the new Sticky Detonator weapon; previously only available with the Master Chief in the UNSC Cryotube boxed set.
An all-new Spartan armor type making its debut in Halo 4, the Spartan C.I.O. is distinguishable by its unique helmet with three optical sensors. This brand-new Spartan figure is clad in violet armor and comes with the latest version of the Designated Marksman Rifle, a popular mid-range UNSC weapon first introduced in Halo: Reach.
All of these new Halo 4 figures will hit stores in October.
Stay tuned to www.mcfarlane.com for more awesome Halo 4 news coming soon!

but here...I have given the example of chengdu city fights before and those can be crazy with alley's and roof tops all being viable real mechanics on the fight...but last night we also had two spy hunters on one spy in WV, if you have never been in wanderer valley it is classic chinese style built around a fantastical lava pit area with towers and arches around the pit (and a giant stair case to more traditional buildings), the two spy hunters (including me) were after a scholar who was using step, the wall climbing abilit,y to evade us by going up walls and going from one tall tower to another, more than 70% of the fight took place above the "ground" level, this game isn't flat so ground level is relative to where you are at any given time...but he was above the pit area,
really unique fighting experience, not really flying as gravity is still a huge factor, and your jump stamina becomes another element to your fight.

dude stop saying that it is not a big square, it seems like you watched the part of the fight that started in the entry way (because that is where the person doing the recording was) and didn't bother noticing it then went into the guild complex...that square you keep talking about is nothing more than a big front porch.

Some things I can understand with people having complaints with the game, such as poor translation. When people complain the combat is lacking that's what bugs me as the combat is some of the best I've seen. At first, sure I was sceptical about the combat as I assumed it was about the flashy martial arts that I saw in crouching tiger hidden dragon, but seeing the skill and strategy involved in fighting I was hooked straight away. The combat works so well with a PVP orientated game, being apart of a battle or a fight rather then seeing who can spam the most attacks. After playing for over a month I see the big picture, and see an MMO that I can thoroughly enjoy.
Originally posted by tommy-xx
Its still about spamming attacks though. Its just the mechanics of the combat system are buggy and clunky...i dont mind that it was terribly slow combat, i liked that there was a bit of thought...it just was executed in a very primative manner. Little things like it doesnt matter which direction you face as long as your in your skills range radius the attack works...i mean i was tossing darts behind me...also the buggy nature of some of the animations and mechanics...just didnt sit well. And to be honest, there isnt much thought involved with the combat...hold your block, spam your good skill, wait for finisher to activate, repeate. Yeah theres a few cases of countering, thats the small brigh spot in the mechanics.
Combat, PVE, and even PVP just seem like it takes a back seat to life skills and gathering, i actually toured a decent part of the map across two character, it seemed that was what a vast majority of players were doing...didnt see anyone killing pve mobs, and only saw a few people pvping (actually it was rough finding pvp for me)
Top it off with the balance issues...there is a reason one of three schools is picked, check out the clan war live streams and count how many royal guards and wudangs there are....
Im glad some people find the combat in this game 100% flawless, however, some of the threads and posts are crossing the line on being misleading. I certainly didnt see anything related to the "eve of marshal arts" i had hoped for, and that had to do with complexity of the system and more strategy based combat. I would barely consider combat stategic.
I rest my case with my title to my thread, the game just wasnt very fun...combat was archaic, something acceptable 10 years ago. Theres a TON of filler content. I just feel a lot of posts and threads have been quite misleading. I can imagine how opinions will turn once the game exits the honeymoon period however, so i guess i can expect inflated praise.
Yes i will hand it to them, its certainly not your typical korean grinder...it does have substance to it. Its an improvement in that sense.

I think im done here. Ill let the thread fill up with fanboy counters and shallow troll insults.
yea I know there is a link there...it's my thread...it is also why I know the mythical "giant square" doesn't exist or you are looking at the entry way and confusing it for the entire area.
let me see if I can elaborate,
This is a map of the guild HQ that was attacked in the video
In the upper left most portion you see a "big square" that is the entry way to the complex. The front porch where the stables are and where an attacking force would come in. (you may be refering to the map itself as the square but that would be silly as maps are normally square)
That area look like this, though in the video he had his graphics turned way down you should see the resemblance.
However anyone who has seen a guild structure knows that this is just the front porch to the complex
which you can go through and then run into the complex
and then there is more stuff
now I am not saying that this guild facility is the most complex structure in gaming history.
but neither is it just a big square

Crunchy, these are the biggest misconceptions you have spoke of (well next to the square thing). I'm not trying to insult you, but if me saying what you said, is ridiculous is trolling, so be it. You will not find a more position oreiented x,y,z axis oriented game in any era, well ok EVE, but that's spaceships.

The counters are quite the opposite of "fanboy" actually since this game is new and in beta phase, we are all here trying our best as players to provide as many informative answers and responses to negative feedback as possible. Why do we do this? Because we enjoy the experience enough to want to share it with others in the community, especially to those who had a negative experience or are hesitant to try it out.
As for the "EVE of Martial Arts", it most certainly is not and won't be anything like EVE. They are two completely different games that merely share similar MMO attributes. I prefer this over EVE though as the Wuxia theme is something I've been really looking forward to seeing in a game.
It's unfortunate though, that your experience has put you off the game to the point of writing a negative thread about it.
This game does require patience and has a decent learning curve, sure there are some other points I could retort against your response to my initial one. But like you said, you're done here.
Good luck with finding an MMO that suits your needs.
Indeed arguing over whether x is good or not probably isn't going to improve your mood towards the game, but the big square comment was just starting to get on my nerves. If you are looking for a PvE experience, especially one with good PvE grinding mechanics like terra or TSW (I like signet farming in tsw it is ok to pass time), this isn't going to do anything for you period.
There are some ok boss fights in the instances on hard mode, as in they can be a challange but you would probably not have fun getting to the point where a group would accept you if you didn't enjoy anything but PvE so it is a moot point.

PvE certainly takes a back seat - it's there and some of it offers ample rewards, but PvP is the meat and potatoes of this game. And it's not very hard to find all, it's just not sheltered off in some instanced bg that you can queue for. It can happen anytime and anywhere, but it's also very easy to involve yourself in player vs player conflict in multiple ways that are always available.
Ever tried a spy mission? Patrolling your school? Escorting? Dueling? Kidnapping? Bounty hunting?
I get the impression that you just wandered around aimlessly expecting great things to happen to you, but that's not the way it works. The game doesn't serve you content, you have to find it and do it yourself. As soon as you're familiar with how the systems work, you'll have too much to do (I know I do, I'm always behind my in game schedule when I log off).
Note: I'm not trying to convince you here, just countering some of your misconceptions so that others don't think you know what you're talking about.

Me and my buddy was going " Wtf? These quest is so boring and standard etc", but then the game opened up like a flower and showed us all it´s beauty from PVP, crafting, bounty system, clan wars etc.

Oh look, another "review" based on the horribad few hour tutorial (every AoW player agrees it's the worst part of the game, along with the translations) that you sadly need to mine through to get to the gold that is other features in the game
This worries me a bit though. As seen a lot of players get the idea that you'll be doing those boring quests all the time in this game... I know it's stupid to judge the game so fast, but sadly people do it. This tutorial part of the game could really really hurt the game's pop, or is already hurting it.
Also, your comments on combat are lulzy. It's understandable because you're new to the game, but saying it's just spamming attacks is absolutely false. Spamming attacks gets you killed. It also gives a false impression that it's clunky until you understand and get the right feel for it. Also a protip: rebind the block key to E or something.

Finally got around to trying this, and.. same experience as the OP. Gave it a few hours. Seems like they have a lot of good ideas, but really awful implementation.
Right at the top of that list is the combat. Unlike the OP, I don't even want to hear about the PvP, really. I'm not against PvP, but I'm primarily a PvE'r, and if the PvE is this bad, I don't care how good the PvP is. So that said, the PvE combat.. I can't imagine how it gets any better, later on. It's just so clunky and disjointed. Plus, it seems utterly pointless. I'm not sure why they even have themepark style mobs milling around in fields, as if waiting to be farmed, when there's nothing to farm them for.
There's a lot I didn't understand, and I want to be open minded, but the vibe I'm getting, now that I have some context to put it in, is that this is really a PvP game. I already knew it had a PvP element, but I had no idea that it was the main appeal of the game. Maybe even the only major appeal of the game, in that if you don't get into the PvP, the rest of it won't really stand on its own. Is that fairly accurate?
When I want a single-player story, I'll play a single-player game. When I play an MMO, I want a massively multiplayer world.

PvE in this game, other than just killing a random mob for no reason, is mostly done in the challanges, where you go to a npc martial arts family and challange them in a mini instance kind of phased event, or the forbidden instances...which are what you would call a dungeon in most other games of which there are a few but we have only access to two at the moment. Though those two already have 6 and 12 man common hard and hell modes. Both of those two events have very real purpose of raising your reputation and getting the good loot drops (skills, recipies, jackdaw potions) but your random mob..no you will not be grinding random mobs.

What sorts of things can players craft? What's the purpose of crafting, in this game? Is it just to make money, or is it where the best equipment comes from, and that sort of thing?
edit: what would be a good quick way to get started with that, to check it out for myself?

YouTube's embedded player has a new feature that lets you add a video to a special playlist and watch it later. This only works for the videos embedded using the new iframe-based code.
After clicking on "watch later", the video is added to your homepage, so you can quickly find it.
It's not very useful for Read it Later or Instapaper fans, but everyone else will probably enjoy the new feature. What's surprising is that YouTube doesn't add the videos to the queue, which is "a list of videos to watch later in your session".

Thank you.
There have been some major shifts in my household as of exactly this time last year. My husband and I decided to separate and will soon be divorced. A major life change that was all about learning, adjusting and re-balancing a different life. A friend reminded me to be "strong and honest" throughout the whole process. Repeating those words was extremely helpful to me. I couldn't be more grateful for those two powerful words and the support from my family and friends. As things change in life one learns to adapt and can only grow from the experience.
I'm gonna try to get back to spending more time doing those creative things I love to do and spending more time on the blog. I have missed you all a lot.
Onward and upward!
Have a beautiful day!

I have always loved animals and as an adult have collected my own herd of 6 cats and 1 horse. But the incident that struck me most occurred while observing a gorilla in an exhibit at Disney's animal park. The enclosure was open and you could see various individuals across the well hidden moat as you walked along the path, but in one area a was a glass wall you could look through. It must have been feeding time because a big silverback male came over carrying his 'cookies' and leafy greens. He sat down in front of the window facing us and watched what I call "The Human Show". As he munched on his lunch he watched the antics of the humans through the glass, the noisy bouncy children, the movement of people in and out of the area. As I was watching him he looked directly into my eyes and I felt a connection with him, his intelligence. It brought home to me that to be human isn't so different from some of our neighbors on this planet. I knew that animals had their own thoughts and feelings, but this was clear recognition of being from an animal so similar to me but so unfamiliar. I felt honored to have shared a moment in his life. I wonder if anyone else noticed the mind behind his eyes?
Yes. I was walking down the
Yes. I was walking down the street near USC in Los Angeles and saw a group of dogs pulling a "sled" on roller skate wheels, with an Alaskan indeginous person leading the pack for a car commercial. The dogs had thick white coats and almond-shaped, wide-spaced, small and slanted eyes, I remember them as blue/grey. I felt blessed to see them, the dogs, the driver and as I passed close to them on the side walk there was yelping and one looked straight into my eyes, and saw me, the "mind behind his eyes". I felt he saw me with all of his great past of ancestor wolves, the heritage of the wild, the wisdom of his heart of service and he knew me. And I was blessed there on the sunny-warm, busy street in L.A., students mostly from Asia pedaling by to class, and me on my way to a dental appt. Cassandra
It's a wonderful show, and thank you. I am concerned that you misnamed the Quakers, though. We are the Religious Society of Friends. That first word is very important. I hope I'm not the first to mention it.
Thanks so much,

I once owned a rabbit. She was a hand-me-down gift from my inlaws who could no longer keep her, and I had just moved into my own apartment while I was in college. They figured I might want some company. So I named her Anna for 'prayer' because she was the friend that I needed at that time in my life. We became very close, as close as a person can become to a rabbit, but that relationship took much time to earn.
Anna was a norwegian dwarf rabbit which is a breed that is peticularly skiddish. All rabbits are very fearful. You have to earn their trust. Rabbits are prey animals and so every instinct draws them to take cover. I learned that I could not be loud with my pots in the kitchen when I was cooking and that sudden movements through the house would put her on edge. Gently gently, our relationship grew. She came to let me hold her, which was quite an accomplishment. She let me rub her nose and even closed her eyes when I caressed her cheeks. Her love was so precious to me because I knew that it was not given freely; it was given at the price of her instinctual guard that she let down for us. She came to know her name and was able to hop around my living room feeling safe in her surrounding. She made me remember what it took to make a friend,what it meant to become familiar, and how precious it was for one person to open themselves up to another. Anna reminded me what it meant to be afraid and vulnerable. I saw myself and the people around me in her meekness and in her hesitant heart when our relationship began. I also saw the beauty of our relationship in a more brilliant way than I had ever looked or appreciated in the friendships I interacted with everyday. It is something taken for granted, the trust that is needed and the sacrafice that is given every time you open up to another being, and I am so grateful to have seen that in Anna.
How lovely that you should
How lovely that you should share in your email your life with Prayer. How beautiful , such learning. I must remember in my relationship with others when I "storm" about rattling my pans. Cassandra
I beleive that the animals we have dominion over are exhibiting more of what we used to call human emotion then we are.We depend on technology so much and let it control to much of our daily lives.As our technology continues to increases I think our humanity to ourselves and animals will continue to decrease.If it werent for people like Katy Payne and Jane Goodall,et al many species would have already dissapeared.If you havnt seen it already the new documentary,'Last Lions',is a great example.Its hard to beleive that there are only 2,500 Asian tigers left on this planet.Think about it.
Along the line of what you
Along the line of what you shared clear back 10 years ago here on this site, I am reminded of somewhere reading, "Animals teach us how to be human." And that is true for me with my daughter's Boston Terrier, Charliy, as I become more loving through caring for her, relating and talking to her, and "seeing" her. And the latter expands out to others, the two legged and the four and I become more human.
I just want to say thank you for today's show with Katy. Listening to the interview, I felt like a kindred spirit. I am always happiest when outdoors in nature. Just being in the presence of others animals always leaves me feeling a sense of peace in what is an otherwise turbulent life. I currently am at a turning point in my life. I am making the decision, at 42, to go back to college. I've always wanted that environmental science degree. But, truthfully, I have been to afraid to pursue it. I feel like it was fate that I happened to listen to today's show. I'd give a lot to walk in Katy's shoes. In my opinion, every experience with an animal helps teach us what it means to be human. But, in searching for one specific example, I can think of a time when my oldest daughter was one. We were at the zoo in the chimpanzee enclosure. My daughter was standing with her hands on the glass window looking at the chimps. A mother chimp with a small baby drug her bed up to the window and sat down. She put her hand up against my daughter's. They stayed like that for a while. When another boy walked over by the glass, the mother chimp shooed him away with her hand toward the glass. It was obvious there was a connection between that mother chimp and my daughter. I was very happy (and maybe even somewhat jealous) that my daughter had that experience. Thank you again for a marvelous show.
I would love to know where
I would love to know where you are in your passion to get your environmental science degree and what is happening with your daughter now at 13 that reflects what that mother chimp knew in her. And if she remembers that day. How lovely you should share it with us.
I had the good fortune of
I had the good fortune of working w/Katy at her then home in Lincoln, MA, under the New York Zoological Society's Whale Research work. Like the elephants, her unmistakable and unforgetable voice has called me from a faraway room to my television on more than one occasion. Today is her Birthday, and so I am searching for a way to send her my best wishes. Even though it may not be a Quaker thing to celebrate birthdays, I just want to wish Katy a fabulous day and tell her I'm glad she was born. Be well, Katy.
Well done, as usual. It is a
Well done, as usual. It is a terrible shame to hurt so many elephants and whales when the science provides us with evidence of their ability to create and maintain a civil/social group. Wish we could do the same.
I felt this interview deeply.
I felt this interview deeply. I have a few comments:
1) I always listen to the extended interview. But this time afterwards, in order to hear the sounds of the whales and elephants, I also listed to the produced show. I was very upset that you edited three words out of Ms. Payne's dream, "I was naked." Why in the world you do such a thing? The only reason I can think of is whoever decided to consciously remove these three words, could not bare the sublime nature of the dream and had to (unconsciously) diminish its power. I was quite shocked by this cut.
2) RE: How the elephants become silent and just listen to one another. I had this experience with 3 horses once. For one year, I spent time with 3 Fjord horses. I would walk, brush and sing to them. One afternoon, I started singing Amazing Grace to one of the horses, my favorite matron 25 year old Caroline. The other two came over to us and the four of us stood in a tight circle, facing each other, for some time during the song and afterwards in silence. A very powerful moment in my life that I will never forget.
The dream was so much more
The dream was so much more powerful, if that is possible, with her being "naked", but since Ms. Payne was tenuous about sharing, perhaps she herself asked that it be removed. Years ago before I visited two months in India I had an elephant dream, very clear, in color, and felt amazingly wonderful. Like a blessing. I am lying on the ground on my back with my head turned toward someone I do not see taking my photo of me and a huge elephant standing with her front foot on my head, ever so gently. In the dream I am so happy. And wake up with the feeling of deep gratitude and happiness.
Dear Krista, I continue to be
Dear Krista, I continue to be deeply, or rather, profoundly moved to be able to hear the completed, integrated final show and hear the raw interview, raw in its humanity, integritity, and allowing me to close be there in your midst. I love even hearing the footsteps leaving the studio and sometime hearing the problems you are having with "dead air" as we just hang out in the silence as the equipment is repaired and readied. Raw means I am more woven into the sharing, the life, the beauty of two who share together in the quiet of the studio. And the guest feels "heard", someone who takes the time to know them, they open and soften into sharing their lives. My heart is full toinight here after midnight in southern california on the shoulder where the sea rubs up against, and I here in my kitchen cleaning up and preparing my meal, and writing to you... In gratitude. Cassandra
I have also been fascinated
I have also been fascinated with animals and I always wanted to learn about them. I remember always reading the magazines (I don't recall the name of the magazine) and watching the National Geography channel with my family. What I think is amazing is how they communicate with others and how different it is with human beings. For example, as Katy Payne says during her interview with Krista Tippett, whales communicate by what we calling singing. When human beings speak with each other, there's no singing, at least that's not what it sounds like to us. I wonder though, how do we sound like to animals? Animals are smart but may not be at the same level as us in certain things. My point is how do they think we sound like when we're speaking with each other?
Katy Payne shared a story about a baby elephant dying. The calf was dying and was lying on the ground. Each elephant of the herd stopped by the dying calf to show remorse; even though they were not related to the calf. Katy also mentioned that a young adolescence male elephant was trying to pick up the dying calf with his trunks 57 times! And he came back 5 times to try to pick the calf up. As the broadcast goes on, they mentioned that it is also in our human nature when there is a need in help; we disregard the fact that we are related or not. I believe that is true because we show compassion towards others who are suffering, those who are hurt and those who are dying. For example, the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary was a terrible tragedy that took the lives of the young children and brave adults. Even though we are not related to the families that lost their beautiful and innocent children and loved ones, we still show remorse and have sympathy for those families. To show support, we would attend the funerals (the people who are close by of course), attend vigils, send letters, etc… All in all, I think it is in all of our nature to help one another.
Lastly, I love how Katy talks about the communication between the whales and how it changes overtime. Can you imagine being sing to, whether it's from your husband, wife or significant other? To me, I would find that a bit odd but only because it is not in our nature to communicate by singing. If it was natural to communicate by singing, it wouldn't be considered weird. It would be like singing an opera, at least that's how I see it.
Bare with me while I sing to
Bare with me while I sing to you... How lovely you are. How lovely in your singing your thoughts onto "paper", dancing your singing, your searching and sorting it all out, with us who listen deeply and move on . Your music so loud of the beauty you are. With deep respect and love I suppose I listen with something beyond my dear ears to the music of the movement of your mind, intertwined with your heart beating so bravely beneath your shirt or your blouse where your noble self lives and hears. With gratitude for all you are, Cassandra

Really softens and smooths the skin
It did leave my face very soft, smooth, and more even-textured. This didn't have any effect on the scars, but it will probably take more applications.
I wish the packaging was more clear on the strength of the peel. I couldn't find the information anywhere not even on the company's website.

well, I think it is a real possibility that God did 'take' Enoch and Elijah so they would not see death.
Where did Enoch go?
Do you not know that we have access to the throne of God through Christ?.....Paul said I KNOW A MAN THAT WAS CAUGHT UP TO THE THRONE OF GOD TO THE THIRD HEAVEN. WHETHER IN THE BODY OR OUT, I DO NOT KNOW. Do you not know that you must be 'born again' from above? If it is a rebirth or again..then you were with Him from the beginning before you were lowered into this death realm. All of mankind is of Christ's body,coz all that belongs to the Father was given him. Whether dead or alive we are Christ's and if a member of His body, we have been with Him from the beginning[even before He descended to earth]. No-one has ever gone into heaven except the one who come from heaven- the SON OF MAN. In the scriptures other men are called SON OF MAN... the son of man is the regenerated promised seed of which all men will bear the image of. A son of man[Adam], brought into being by our kinsman redeemer. See Deut 25;5-7 If brothers are living togather and one of them dies without a son, his widow must not marry outside the family.Her husbands brother shall take her and marry her and fulfill the duty of a brother-in-law for her. THE FIRST SON SHE BEARS WILL CARRY ON THE NAME OF THE DEAD BROTHER, SO THAT HIS NAME WILL NOT BE BLOTTED OUT FROM ISRAEL. Adam=man...thus SON OF MAN

Career over?? 2 ACL surgeries in under a year which will equal about a 2 year layoff from the sport in total...Dominick Cruz underwent another major knee surgery this past week, and it'll likely further delay his return to the octagon.
Trainer Eric Del Fierro today told MMAjunkie.com (MMAjunkie.com) that Cruz's anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) was replaced after his body rejected one from a cadaver.
The UFC bantamweight champion is in Los Angeles today to meet with a doctor who will give him a timeline for his return, DelFierro said, though he estimated it could set the fighter back another six to nine months.
Cruz (19-1 MMA, 2-0 UFC) underwent corrective surgery in June after tearing his ACL in preparation for a rematch with Urijah Faber, who coached opposite him on "The Ultimate Fighter 15." The two were scheduled to meet at UFC 148 on July 2, but Cruz was forced out of the fight, and Renan Barao went on to beat Faber to claim an interim title at UFC 149.
Del Fierro said Cruz's ACL was replaced, as well as his MCL, which had been torn prior to a fight with Charlie Valencia in 2008.
Following several months of recovery, the MCL held while the ACL did not.
"He's pissed and disappointed," Del Fierro said. "But I think he's doing better now. Once he talked to the doctor and found out what was going on, he felt much better."
The trainer said Cruz's training was advancing with the approval of his doctor and physical therapist, but he had not been cleared to prepare for a fight.
Meanwhile, Cruz hoped to return in early 2013 but couldn't provide a date.
Cruz most recently stepped into the cage in October 2011, when he outpointed Demetrious Johnson to defend his title, which he also defended against Faber at UFC 132.
This past month, UFC President Dana White said he would offer a fight to Barao, possibly against Michael McDonald, despite the champ's stated preference to wait for Cruz's return. Barao coach Andre Pederneiras said late this past month that he had yet to receive an offer but would welcome a fight in early 2013.
If he is going to come back, should the UFC strip him of his title and make Barao the real 135 champ and not an interim champ?

NEW YORK (AP) - Daredevil David Blaine has finished what could be called his most electrifying stunt.
The magician emerged shortly before 9 p.m. Monday after spending three days and three nights standing in the middle of 1 million volts of electric currents at New York's Pier 54.
A spokesman says Blaine was able to walk with assistance, speak and kiss fiancée Alizee Guinochet before being taken to a hospital to be examined.
The 39-year-old Blaine wore a chainmail bodysuit as a barrier between himself and the currents, emitted by Tesla coils.
The stunt was called "Electrified: One Million Volts Always On." It was streamed on YouTube, with help from Intel Corp.
Blaine's past stunts include hanging upside down over Central Park and being encased in a block of ice.

The more things change the more they stay the same. Every decade or two a new face peeks out at the world from Vatican Square. Were it not for longrange television images we would not know it was a different face. The figure stands in an open balcony window and gives his blessing; he is dressed in white; he is surrounded by men robed in red and black. His predecessor stood in the same place a few days earlier. Can anyone really see a difference?
Ah, you say, there isn't supposed to be a difference, that's the whole point. It's all about continuity; a smooth transition. One Pope is gone and another takes his place so the people see no change – there isn't supposed to be any.
The camera pans the multitude in the square and the faces beam, people pray, cheer, smile with joy. With each new Pope it is the same. The people change but the smiling faces and the cheering do not. Nothing changes.
Each time a new Pope arrives the people say: "He will be different. He will lead the church into the modern era. He will be the Pope to lead us and guide us into this new world where the Earth is no longer the center of the Universe. He will explain how all religious belief founded on Earth can be relevant as we expand our reach to other stars and other beings." The open question is: Will he guide us through this change or will he explain how nothing changes?
The demise of Christianity has oft been predicted yet it lives on. It lives on because it adapted to changes – though belatedly – as they presented themselves. Changes and challenges that seem to occur every six to eight hundred years: early Christianity from Judaism, Islam from early Christianity, Protestantism from Medieval Christianity. Change is surely due but who can predict it? Where are the minds and voices to guide mankind through the change? Or will the change to come be so evident that it will make religion as we know it irrelevant, so that everything changes?
When a woman or a person of another race or ethnic background becomes a member of a governing body, the dynamic of that chamber begins to change. Human beings seem to fear change yet their survival is assured only by adaptive change. Species change is slow, gradual but continual while most institutional change tends to be sudden and abrupt. Tension over a long period of time – like stress in a fault line – tends to result in violent shifts. Gradually easing the tension will mitigate the violence. Small steps to effect change are the best recipe for smooth, lasting change. Resisting change at all costs will only assure destructive change in the future.
The future survival of religion in general and Christianity specifically will not rely on strict adherence to what is believed to be God's plan for mankind but by seeking and implementing the changes necessary to understand that, whatever God's plan may be, it can only be known by Him and he is not bound by the rules of men. God itself is the great change agent.
Attempts to exclude a voice or a place at the table for a potential contributor to the change debate is foolish at best and disastrous in the extreme.
Survival requires change.
Change is good.
Good change is better.
The best change is achieved by inclusiveness and the worst by exclusiveness.

with Dr. Lee Lipp and Jisho Lisa Hoffman
in the Wheelwright Center at Green Gulch Farm
Everyone is welcome.

Saturday, March 14, 2015
9 am - 5 pm
(Sold out! Click here to be added to the waiting list, or visit the Finding Ease page for City Center to register for the May 16 workshop.)
You open a door to a dark room and you think you know what's there, where everything is arranged, but you really don't know until you step inside. — Bob Dylan, Chronicles, Vol. 1
Aversion to anxiety is often accompanied by reactivity and actions that worsen how we feel. We suffer. This workshop, taught from the perspectives of Zen and Mindfulness meditation practices, is supported by the latest neuroscience and psychological research.
Our focus for the day will be on our direct experience. We will practice uncovering the natural state of a quieted mind, slowing down enough to see what is actually happening when we describe ourselves as anxious. As we cultivate the opportunity to be with what is actually happening with awareness and clarity, we can respond to difficulties with consciousness, ease and new choices, rather than with reactivity that at times can make things worse.
This workshop is supported with guided meditations and psychotherapeutic strategies and is appropriate for those who are new to meditation and for those who are experienced meditators. The workshop also meets the CE criteria for several health care professional designations.
Fees: $100; $90 current SFZC members; $80 limited income.
*NOTE about CE credits: 7 CE credits available for MFTs, LCSWs, psychologists and nurses. The $15 fee can be paid at the time of registration. San Francisco Zen Center and the Spiritual Competency Resource Center (SCRC) team together to offer CE credit to MFTs, LCSWs, psychologists and nurses. SCRC offers CE credit to MFTs and LCSWs as required by the California Board of Behavioral Sciences (provider #PCE1851).

huge 'sam and twitch' art con...
Winners Will Draw Cover for Upcoming Comic
December 21, 2001
There's a huge base of artistic talent that visits spawn.com and fewer and fewer ways to break into the comics business. So, to recognize the talent that's here and perhaps give some publicity to future professionals, we're sponsoring an art contest with some pretty sweet prizes. Check it out:
You give us your best depiction of Sam and Twitch. You can pencil it, pencil and ink it, paint it, create it digitally in Photoshop, whatever. Post your submissions on a
new message board created especially for this contest
. The contest begins today and ends on Feb. 6. Todd McFarlane himself will pick three winners (Grand Prize, First Prize, First Runner-up) who will be announced Wednesday, Feb.20th. Here are the prizes:
If you win, you will be able to tell your friends and potential employers that Todd picked you as one of the winners of the TMP art contest. Not enough? How about Todd picks the winners, and we put your submission in the back of one of our comics? Still not enough? OK, how about this:
The Grand Prize winner will see their art as the cover to Sam and Twitch #30 and will be paid $300.
The First Prize winner gets their art published in the back of Sam and Twitch #30, and will be paid $200.
The First Runner-up gets their art published in the back of Sam and Twitch #30, and receives $100.
You can create the art in any medium you prefer; however, if you are chosen as the Grand Prize winner, and yours is a pencilled piece, Todd will ink it and Jay Fotos will color it. If you pencil and ink, then Jay will color your drawing. (That's for the Grand Prize Winner only! First Place and First Runner-up winners' art will be published exactly as submitted.) Todd is picking the pieces he thinks best represent Sam and Twitch, regardless of the medium you create in, so anything goes.
There are obviously some rules and requirements. The art must be in a format we can use, so it has to be the correct size and the correct format. Winning original art will be submitted in one of two categories: 1) Original Art or 2) Digital Art.
If you're the Grand Prize winner and you won with a pencilled piece, you're going to have to get the original artwork to us for Todd to ink. For original art, the size of the art board should be 11 inches wide by 17 inches tall, with a one-quarter-inch border all the way around, making the usable image area 10.5 inches by 16.5 inches.
Also, when composing the final illustration, submitters should keep the top one-third of the board relatively open so that the logo can be placed there. (i.e., Sam or Twitch's head shouldn't be at the top of the page.) The artwork will need to be on actual illustration board (not paper) if Todd is to ink it properly. The art board that Image artists use is Strathmore 400 series, 3 ply Bristol, smooth surface. The board you work on should be at least that good. Ask your art supply dealer.
For digital submissions, the same rule about composition apply (keeping the top one-third of the illustration free of any faces or significant detail). Also, for the digital submissions, we can have people submit at actual comic book final printed size which is 6.875 inches wide by 10.4375 inches tall, which includes a one-eighth-inch bleed area around the image. Final digital files should be in RGB and at 300 dpi. They absolutely have to be at 300 dpi in order to print properly. We will reject any entry that arrives at less than 300dpi. Final files should be saved as Photoshop TIFF files (with compression checked on) or Photoshop EPS files (with JPEG maximum quality compression).
All art submissions must be posted on the
Sam and Twitch Fan Art Contest board
. Art posted anywhere else will not be considered. All entrants may post their submission in a new thread. Try to keep your posts to around 6 inches wide by 8 inches high. That'll be large enough for everyone to see, but not so large that they take forever to open. And limit your submissions to one.
We want this contest to be for amateurs only. If you're a professional and have had your work published before in comics, please sit this one out and give the new guys a chance. We can't stop professionals from posting, but we're hoping that everyone understands that this is to help new talent, and will respect our request.
All the legalities will be posted at the top of the Contest Message Board. Please read all the legal stuff. Posting your art signifies that you have read and agree to all the rules and terms.
This could well be the biggest contest we've ever run at spawn.com and we're excited about seeing everyone's art. Good luck.

Romeo y Julieta 1875 Reserve Maduro Toro Reviews
write your own review
This is one of my top picks. Full flavor with a mild pleasing finish. Great burn and a nice ash. Wonderful smoke with a fine port.

Great stick if you don't want to pony up the extra dough for a cohiba black. Good taste and an even burn. the only real down side to it was the draw. Very hard draw!
This is a decent maduro. The one I tried had a wrapper flaw that exposed some of the tobacco beneath the wrapper. The draw was a little tough but get better about 1/2 way through. It felt that it was a little pricey. Overall, it was okay/decent but there are much better maduros for less than what I paid for this stick.
Friend got me into cigars not long ago. I'd toy with them at the local watering holes after a few wobblepops. Found most cigars I tried to be rather blah! Granted, didn't know about FSS then and we were smoking junk. Well I stumbled upon FSS after a google of online cigar shops. Glad I found this site, and even glader I included 2 of these beauties in a "make your own" sampler bundle. I smoked one on and off for most of a saturday evening and the taste, draw, heck everything was excellent about this cigar. Was my first manduro and I gotta say that even as a neophyte, it's what I wanted in a cigar. Full body/flavor. No sock in the mouth aftertaste. Spicy towards the end. Just all around enjoyable. Will order some more after I get through ALOT of different cigars we are trying out.
As a very much noobie Cigar person, this is the first cigar I really felt typified what I want in a stick. Flavor was full and excellent. Hint of spice, chocolate, cocoa. Draw was great. Burn was excellent. Really can't find a fault with this one, only reason I didn't give it all 10's was I wonder if there is something better out there. Can't say for sure as I'm so new at this. Will be buying more for sure!!!!
Just a note: have a seat belt handy when you test ride the Romeo y Julieta Reserve Maduro. Cow-a-frickin-bunga! Full strength is a definite understatement. Even after a good meal, I gotta take this one SLOW. But don't let my whimperings mislead ya, this puppy is as smooth as a rocket ship can be. Great, even burn, oily wrapper, smooth construction, and more horsepower than a Chrysler 300C Hemi. I mean, some people could have religious ceremonies with this jewel. S'cuse me, I gotta try and stand up by myself.
Thuis one will not disappoint you! It's flavor, appearance, burn and construction are top-notch. It is a very satisfying cigar and a better maduro than many more costly ones out there! Just about perfect.

I've experienced New Orleans vicariously through the life my son has led over the course of the past year. Telephone calls filled with barbecues and po'boys, gumbo and jambalaya, Mardi Gras and brass bands. Excited words expressing the enthusiasm and passion of an entire town, the people of this magnificent city. A people and a city both rising from the rubble of Katrina like a phoenix, proud and beautiful, so appreciative for the love of those who came to help rebuild, such as my son. The romance of this very romantic city touched even a 21-year-old young man normally oblivious to his surroundings, usually wary of attachment and so very matter-of-fact. The generosity and the spirit of the locals galvanized him, their own love of The City of Jazz and Cuisine left an imprint on his soul that moved me and urged a visit.
- Mark Twain
I have experienced the American food blogging scene as through a glass darkly: watching from some hazy distance, a tiny peephole my only access, the activity on the other side of the door confusing and distorted, voices muffled. I have been mystified by the seemingly paradoxical extremes of positive and negative: the closeness and the cliques, the camaraderie and the competition, the honesty and the artifice. I have longed for the familiarity and passion of a world at once so close to my heart yet so far, yearned for the kinship and the support of a culture that I know so well, that fits me like a well-worn sweater shrugged on in the chill of a strange land. Yet the pandering and the falseness have inspired me with caution, the desperation and jealousy, the mean-girl snideness I have witnessed from afar has turned many a friend from their creative purpose and they have bowed their heads in shame and sadness. It has left me confused as to the heart and soul of the food blogging world, and I so needed to find myself on their shores, in their midst to discover for myself the truth of the matter.
Thus I found myself at Foodista's International Food Blogger Conference in New Orleans surrounded by a hundred or more passionate, gentle, warm-hearted bloggers and professional writers, photographers and chefs. I was swept up in the excitement that being in such a breathtaking, sensational city inspired in each of us, the frenzy to discover such a culinary tradition and partake of the edible wonders of this fabled city. The enthusiasm and passion for this extraordinary thing that brought us together: food, writing, photography and cooking was intense and infectious and we shared and chattered non-stop, arms waving, faces lit up, laughter bubbling up and bouncing from one person to the next. There was no hierarchy; these cliques and the snubbing I had heard so much about simply did not exist; we all stood in that hotel as equals, thrilled at the chance to share our zeal, fulfill our hunger and feed our curiosity, meeting others with whom we share such passion and interest. This conference proved the interconnectedness of blogging with the professional food world and showed how we could merge into one rather than standing separately.
America would just be a bunch of free people dying of boredom.
- Judy Deck in an e-mail sent to Chris Rose, 1 Dead in Attic
The conference itself, organized by Barnaby, Sheri and Andie of Foodista along with Zephyr Adventures, was perfect: it went like clockwork, the food was amazing and the lineup of chefs and speakers was stunning! I had the honor to be part of an exciting and inspiring panel, speaking on the topic Food & Culture alongside Jay of Bite and Booze and the wonderful Dianne Jacob of Will Write for Food. I was more nervous than I had hoped to be but the topic is close to my heart, one I live each and every day and the words tumbled from my mouth and my soul. The room was packed with eager, interested participants who questioned and shared, fascinated by the subject, making the session a huge success.
One thing we all loathe and myself maybe more than most is the artful ploy of namedropping, yet I cannot pass up this post without, well, dropping names. Why? Because I was thrilled to meet certain people, inspired by their words and delighted to leave IFBC with more friendships than I could have ever imagined would be formed in such a short period of time. This, after all, is why we attend these things, isn't it? To avoid gushing, which I am sometimes prone to do when so happy to have met and spent time with the wonderful and the inspiring, I will say thank you to a few who I had the good fortune to meet and listen to, with whom I had the chance to chat and share, those who left a mark, encouraged me, made me think and made me laugh, those with whom I formed what I hope will be long and lasting friendships or those who turned my world upside down with their thoughtful words and passion: Gwen, Sarah, Lora, Nancie, Dianne, Lisa, Merry-Jennifer, Kevin, Jeremy, Andie, Sheri and Barnaby, Kate, Kat, Shauna and Deb, Andrew, Robin and Adam, Chef Tariq Hanna, Chef John Besh and Chef John Mitzewich. As the fabulous and hysterically funny Nancie called us: new vintage friends.
The weekend was animated, informative, intense and, for lack of a more perfect word and at the risk of repeating myself once too often, inspiring. And not the less so for the bonds it created, the friendships and memories made. As I head back to my own little corner of the world so far away, I leave you with some photos (courtesy of Sarah, Gwen, Nancie and Lora as well as some of my own) of our time spent together. As I return to finalizing details on our own From Plate to Page workshop to be held in Italy in October, I hold onto the memories of this weekend in New Orleans, all I learned, all whom I met, the good times we shared and know that I will return to this magical city again and I am sure that I will attend another American conference and see my friends again.
- John Kennedy Toole, A Confederacy of Dunces
Outings included Café du Monde for fabulous beignets, Mr. B's Bistro for the Gumbo and GW Fins for a fabulous dinner and memorable food, Sucré for macarons and chocolates and Mena's for cheese & grits.
photo with Chef Hanna courtesy of Lora
Thank you all, each and every one of you, thank you IFBC, Hotel Monteleone and thank you New Orleans.
Oh, and did I mention Chef John Besh? The keynote speaker? One rarely has the chance to bask in the passion of such a one as he, or experience his love of food, cooking, family and his own city, New Orleans. It poured out of his every word, his body bouncing from one end of the stage to the other in his excitement to share this love and his story. And then, yes, we girls got a hug, gushing and giggling like teen groupies around their favorite rock star! Yeah… we did…

Breast Cancer Awareness month is October. The pink ribbon has become the symbol for breast cancer awareness and the hope for finding a cure. Awareness means knowledge. Knowledge is the key to diagnosis, treatment, prevention, and most importantly, finding a cure. Women and men alike are susceptible to this monster that claims thousands of lives each year. Early diagnosis and treatment are ones' best defense against becoming another such statistic.
My cousin's grandmother was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2004. She was diagnosed early and was treated with chemo. She is a survivor to this day. My maternal great grandmother was also diagnosed with early breast cancer and survived. It is reported that there are more than 2 million breast cancer survivors in the United States. Now that awareness for this disease has become a forerunner in the media, sports events, and even clothing industry, the population as a whole has jumped on the band wagon.
Statistics for diagnosis of breast cancer each year is in the two-three hundred thousand people range. Most are diagnosed with an invasive type versus a non-invasive type. Breast cancer is the second leading type of cancer that kills women. It is second only to lung cancer. There are several different types of breast cancer and some are quite rare.
Early detection and frequent screening are the two major components in the fight against this and all types of cancer. Learning the signs and symptoms is also key. Knowing your body and seeking professional attention when signs, no matter how small, is always the smart thing to do.

Sit back, relax, and let 'ol Brad and Rorie tell you about the time they fought a dragon.
Laugh with Drew and Dan as they find a cool cave and expose themselves to a lady to make her cry.
Well, technically, this is the first real match, because none of those other ones counted.
I mean, the real story involves a lot of lawyers and contract negotiations, but the kids might not be into that so here's some stuff with inter-dimensional portals or whatever.
This is not to suggest anything about the quality of the game itself, but this trailer really feels like it's promoting a direct-to-video Disney cartoon.
Jeff and Dan use the way of the ninja to quench their unquenchable thirst for gold. Plus plus.
Austin mimes and burgles his way into the charming, yet dangerous world of dungeon exploring.

Dungeons are huge right now and Brad and Jeff wouldn't have it any other way.
Jason powers up, Dan spins infinitely, Brad goes for double platinum, and Jeff... relapses.
Somehow, the folks at 17-Bit managed to keep a HUGE piece of this game a secret. Until today, that is.
Break out your scarf. Those maniacs actually did it. They made Journey look even prettier.
This victory lap is taking a bit longer than expected, but there's a shiny platinum glimmering at the end of the tunnel.
Leave it to teens to throw a party in the face of a raging death storm.
The future gets fused with all sorts of stuff the Internet likes.
Before you sneak, you've gotta learn how to crawl.
This series is a favorite of many, but does the original have enough spirit to take the number one spot?
From the ocean life was born, to the ocean we shall return. A different ocean, though. This one's all alien and full of ammonia or what have you.

I'm noticing a few changes when I visit the Google Maps site today. First, the map centers around my present location (by ip address presumably). The map is also right-justified, leaving room for the left column to display results from Google Local. Is anyone else seeing this? Overall it seems that there is a tighter integration with features previously only accessible from Google Local, and not from the main Google Maps site.
Take a look: North America, UK, and Japan
My view:
UPDATE: Google Maps update may affect mashups:
It seems as though the update by Google might be affecting some Google Maps mashups which are in use on the web. Here is a comment that was entered on this earlier post:
"...Mike, not only did I notice it, but the changes they made have wrought havoc on CommunityWalk. It has errors everywhere now. The changes do not mesh well with the prototype javascript framework used extensively in Ruby on Rails. They really need to make it possible for developers to choose not to upgrade to more recent versions of an API!"
Is anyone else seeing their Google Maps integrations or mashups being affected by this Google Maps update?
