Personally im the opposite. I was the guy who never got in the betas and would end up buying the game the day it came out....to find it sucked balls. I really have enjoyed the new wave of betas that test one very important aspect that has ruined so many launch days and was not previously tested enough in the olden days. Stress Testing. In the SWTOR if you bothered to read any of the notes they left you will find that there was a relatively few that where allowed to truely beta test the game before they gave a beta weekend to everyone to do the stress testing. Hell they even staggered the join times for betaers so it could "more simulate a launch invite"
I know your trying to be negative in the Style of Yahtzee from Zero punctuation or Doug from the Nostalgia Critic but really you come across more as being a self absorbed whiner then humorous.

... well.. honestly most of them were in just so they could leak information to their buddies, or, barring that... tell their mailman about it.

Um, you are bitching about not getting into the Beta. Try, not getting to play the game at all thanks to Bioware's definition of "global launch" which excludes everyone not in North America or Western Europe. Despite every other MMO ever launched being able to launch truly globally...which I would know since I played a heck of a lot of them at launch.

I have an unusual experience with the SW:TOR Beta stress test. I tested on the second weekend, played, gave very informative answers to all questions and surveys. I even found a few bugs and reported them. I took it seriously and had fun along the way.
I wasn't invited back, go figure.
I had to grab a key from this site, make a new Bioware account and submitted the key to be able to play on the new account just so I could play with my wife.
I submitted the key several days after my wife got her invite back, and it was on a completely new account so I know my new beta key had nothing to do with not being invited back.
Not that I'm bitter or anything...
This just backs up your statement.
In the old days I beta tested several new features for EQ, back when they would snail mail a disc to testers with what they wanted tested. That felt worthy of being called a true beta test, this was not even close. We were only there to break the servers, while that has a purpose that I can completely understand, why put in the damn surveys?

Completely agree with your assertions and sorry you didn't get an invite Coyote.
It really should be just an open beta at this point personally.

The purpose of this last beta weekend of which I got to participate was two fold in my opinion. The primary reason for the test was to see what it wouuld be like on launch day and find out if they could handle it and what kind of procedures they would need when the inevitable happened and all of the servers get jammed with people trying to get in.
The second purpose which was almost as important as the first was probably to allow a large population of people into the game to see what the game is and from their end hoping their product is as good as they think it is spread a positive word about the game and generate good buzz for the final marketing push.
The last weekend beta had very little to do with game bugs and trying to break the game from that end. That is what they are relying on their smaller group of regular beta testers for.
In the end, however, unless you belong to a testing company or a guild known for being good beta testers(with an inside line into game developer offices) the chance you will get into a particular beta is completely random no matter how big your ego is. Game companies will typically bring in thousands of people to tens of thousands of people with no way to hand select individuals unless you fall into one of the above two categories. You are just a random number.

Logic be damned!
Open beta is just PR and stress testing.
Very little feedback is given and most of what is, is taken with a grain of salt by devs.
That's why they do closed beta and usually keep the closed beta going and seperate even during the open periods.
They actually screen closed beta apps and as such take their feedback and testing data more seriously.
I've probably been lurking for way, way too long.

The first difference to "classic" beta testing with NDAs and all that stuff was that I actually got an invitation mail without applying (I have an account for a different game of that company).
The second difference was that the game is already quite polished in terms of bugfixing. In two days of playing I noticed only one bug, and that was in word wrapping. Obvious enough that the devs must have seen it themselves, unless their English language skills are zero. Now the game mechanics are not really innovative, so the game may actually run on a mature engine, just with different models . But my point is that beta testing in the sense of checking the game mechanics seems to be redundant here. Which makes it more of a marketing beta.
The last "old school" beta testing I did was some years ago with Seed, an indie game that really needed the help of dedicated beta testers as it was full of bugs. And they had those testers, but sadly went pay2play way before the game was ready. But I'm getting off topic...

There is a HUGE difference between closed beat and open beta. For most companies closed beta is run by the developers and open beta by the marketing department.

Give me sparkly, twinkly...
Not that I'm bitter either but I didn't get into the SWTOR beta, or the Secret World beta for that matter. Pfft, just means that I'm going to wait until its released and listen to what certain parts of the community says. Then and only then will I plunk down some cash for the game.
When a company holds a beta and requires people to pre-order or even order the game client before they get to play it, I have a problem with that. That was a dirty trick that Trion used and NCSoft used with Aion. Played both and cancelled both pre-orders. I do regret not following through with Aion though, it actually turned out to be a halfway decent game.

i got offered the beta, but didn't accept. more because of the timing and being unable to download the large files at that time of the month. my isp would've cut my speeds down to 56k for reaching the limit (australian isps have some odd ideas of what "unlimited downloads" means). i'm not annoyed about missing out. it's looking like what i expect it to be: a time filler until gw2.
not sure why you tacked on that last part about companies requiring you to pre-order, because i didn't pre-order swtor to get into the beta. australians can't actually pre-order it there anyway. just signed up months ago as a volunteer is all.
i think the real reason no one wants "beta-testers" these days and are leaning more toward open "glorified free-trials" is rather simple.
in the old days, games were made for gamers. they were often also made BY gamers. i don't think anyone making games back then were sitting around a nice oak meeting table with their CEO giving them the latest share figures and talking in millions, or even billions, of dollar figures. i think they really did sit there talking about how to make a great game. a challenging game. how to make something different and exciting.
these days, with the kind of money on the line, it's about playing the safety game. it's like the movie industry. it's safer to remake an old game (copy an existing successful model or use a tried and tested engine but change the colours), than actually try something different. proof of that lies in games which try something a little different and end up getting squashed. not because they don't have enough players, but often because they don't have the millions of players needed to keep shareholders from demanding heads on plates.
in the end, it's not beta-testers you need. what you need is a good indication as to what "the majority" will accept. you know they're not going to be happy, but before you release the game, you want to know how much you're going to invest in infrastructure. how many servers. will you accept a month of overloaded servers because you know your content wouldn't "keep" the ragers anyway? don't want to invest in more than you need only to have everyone get bored. you want to hold onto your core demographic. you want to accurately judge your future figures. some people think a game fails when it doesn't have enough servers, or has too many glitches. these days, i don't think that's true. a game fails when it has no core demographic.
an open "glorified free-trial" also helps weed out those who may give a false impression of how successful the game might be. look on this site and you'll get a fairly good indication of the number of fans here who change their mind one way or another. handy information for someone wanting to judge what's going to be needed to keep the mmo going. because unlike singleplay games, an mmo is almost a service-oriented game. it is a store which has to be open 24/7. so how many shops will they need? don't want to get stuck paying rent on a deserted store all kitted out and stocked up with stuff no one's going to buy because you've got another branch right next door...
swtor won't fail. it will go f2p after a while like every other game these days. but it'll make a nice bounding profit thanks to the initial burst of subs to begin with. the shareholders will be happy. it will be a success. and that's the bottom line.
it's time to face up to the facts: games are more and more becoming lighter and lighter entertainment to appeal more and more to the masses. which is why i fully expect "cute" potential toys in swtor.
Ah, well... I attended Juilliard, I'm a graduate of the Harvard business school, I travel quite extensively, I lived through the Black Plague and had a pretty good time during that, I've seen 'The Exorcist' about a HUNDRED AND SIXTY-SEVEN TIMES, and it keeps getting better EVERY SINGLE TIME I SEE IT!!!"

Think for yourself and question authority.
ToR testers were effectively split into two distinctly different groups: General testers and "weekenders". The general testers were given *mostly* 24/7 access and allowed to progress through most of the game. The weekend testers were just grunts used to stress test the servers and provide generalized preferential feedback. I've been in two of the weekend tests and have another invite starting today... I'm asked to rate quest chains based on different criterea with drop-down style multiple choice questions such as "How were your light/dark side choices?". There is also a comment box.
This gives me the impression that the weekenders are not playing to find bugs so much as they are giving feedback as to how much they ENJOYED the game. Of course we are encouraged to report anything buggy or disfunctional we discover. I trust that most of the bugs and glitches were discovered in-house and by professional testing companies. With EA backing a game they have the ability to PAY people who do this for a living.
I wouldn't be so bitter... I also don't consider myself 'unlucky' for participating. It's given me a chance to provide feedback for a game I'm still excited about and assist its launch. Of course there are hordes of idiots with no intent of helping... But again, the weekends are stress tests mostly. And it WAS a weekender that found that one bugged quest weapon that you could one-hit anybody with. Probably a douchebag kid that wasn't planning on providing helpful feedback but the forums exploded with complaints about him... Problem discovered/solved.

Interesting but totally unsubstantiated claim by Anonymous.
…claims the group make concerning Touch ID seem to focus on Authentec director, Robert E Grady, who appears to have been a prominent figure within the George Bush administration and (Anonymous claim) was connected with The Carlyle Group, which Anonymous also claim is a majority shareholder in Booz Allen Hamilton, the NSA contractor with which whistleblower Edward Snowden worked.
I'd like to think the government and NSA already have my fingerprints but they went out of business so NBD.

if anyone wanted my fingerprints there are much easier ways to get them then thru my phone.
Really? There's an easier way than simply downloading them from your phone? Because every other way I can think of involves physically visiting somewhere and collecting them by hand.
So… you're wrong.
Yeah. Its called biometric passport and is used in US, Canada and all EU. They already have them, so take off your tin foil hat
come on now.. next you'll be saying the government LIES to us, Wall street is honest… etc ..
If someone wants my finger print badly enough, they don't need my iPhone 5s to get it.
For years there are laptops using fingerprint login and no one said a thing … now that Apple use it, its NSA and FBI and sh!t
Does anyone else think it's just a little ironic that the video uses canned iMovie audio loops in a video calling Apple a megastalker?
Those loops aren't unique to iMovie though. They're in a ton of different loop / sample packages from multiple companies.
Well. I'll buy that. The way things are going it's looking more and more like all these tech companies are in bed with the surveillance State.
Anonymous aren't taking any studies on voice thats for sure. That was horrible to listen to. BTW anonymous, the US government has been collecting my fingerprints at your embassy and every time I fly to the USA. This has been going on long before Touch ID and you can't opt to of this one.
Would anyone really be surprised? 10 years ago I may have been. Now I just assume the government sees everything I say and do. =/
Noooo really!? REALLY!? Is this really a shocker to anyone? Of course the NSA is getting your fingerprints through TouchID…it's already been proven that they lied to us multiple times about data collection on American citizens, and they lied to us legally; they were legally allowed to withhold the truth from the people. On the other hand, this isn't going to stop me from using TouchID…but it's still good to know that Anonymous is making things aware to people that probably wouldn't know otherwise.
I use Global Entry and Nexus when I travel, so both the US and the Canadian governments have my fingerprints plus my Iris patterns. In addition to this, when I worked in the Banking Industry I had to be bonded so again my fingerprints were used. I am not concerned.
some real fuckin morons post comments on here
they'll only get my dick print because I'm only using my cock to unlock my idevices. suck that government : )
So I'm from Illinois and was born in Missouri; both states put your entire hand and foot print on your long form birth certificate. As far as I know, this is actually the norm in most places: the government already has your fingerprints, and quite a bit more
That's not to say that I think what Anonymous is saying is true; it's just to say it's slightly overblown. I'm not concerned about the government having my fingerprint since a) it can easily obtain them by following me around or just randomly arresting me and b) the people we should most be afraid of having our fingerprints are those looking to exploit them for nefarious means. That's not to say .Gov isn't planning on doing that, but they have SO MUCH EASIER WAYS of getting them than hacking my phone (like going to the Secretary of State Vital Records and taking them).
There's a lot of people around here who don't have a clue as to how Touch ID actually works. Your print isn't really stored anywhere, it's just a hash key. All it does is say yay or nay. Apple have gotten around this whole situation of not being able to refuse (legally) by quite simply never having the data to begin with. They never have access to anything on that chip, not that there's really anything to access on it.
By the way, does the NSA even collect things like prints? I thought that was the FBI. The NSA are data analysts.
Brilliant last line!
Seriously, anyone with ONE brain cell thought about this, they would realise how much bullshit is in it. If Apple don't have access to the information, then how could anyone else?
Look at this guy's channel. Is this even real?

Hi Everyone!
My name is Dominique Brennan and I recently filled out an application to become part of the student network. I am a member of the American Nurses Association and I am will be a second year nursing student at Duquesne Universuty in Pittsburgh Pennyslvania. I would like to know what the next step in the application process is or how I would go about getting more involved in this organization. I would love to connect with other student nurses from around the world and discuss the healthcare field, in particular the barriers and disparities in which other countries are dealing with. As a future nurse I am interested in public health as well as community education. Here at Duquesne we are guided by a transcultural perspective of nursing care, which I find to be of extreme importance. I feel that I can bring alot of insightful information to the student network in regards to my background in cultural competence as well as my knowledge about the current issues with the U.S. healthcare market. I am interested in what barriers are prevalent in other countries as far as patient care.
Here is a link to my schools' program website http://www.duq.edu/nursing/bsn/index.cfm
Thank you

There are many moderately priced hotels in Los Angeles, graced with an abundance of amenities to help visitors enjoy the Southern California beaches, weather, and sights. Many are located near Universal Studios, Disneyland, the University of Southern California , and Knott's Berry Farm.
Hotels in Los Angeles
You can take a trip among the stars without ever leaving Earth by traveling to the city of Los Angeles. Find and book cheap hotels in Los Angeles, CA, with Travelocity and start planning your star-studded vacation today! L.A. is famous for its famous people; celebrity sightings are practically commonplace in the city Hollywood calls home. Even if celebrity culture doesn't impress you, Los Angeles certainly will, with more stunning attractions and beautiful sights than you can possibly hope to cram into one stay. From the sands of Venice Beach to the city's countless museums, theaters, and concert halls, L.A. will keep you entertained from the moment you arrive. Shop (or simply window-shop) on Rodeo Drive or enjoy some fun and games at the lively Santa Monica Pier. No matter what you do while you're here, you're sure to have the time of your life in the City of Angels. Travelocity makes it possible with amazing deals on Los Angeles hotels. Los Angeles is waiting for you, so what are you waiting for?
Each year, Venice Beach, located in the beachfront Los Angeles neighborhood of Venice, attracts visitors in the millions from all over the world. A three-mile stretch of sand, Venice Beach is equipped with handball courts, volleyball courts, paddle tennis courts, and a bike trail, but most people travel to Venice Beach for its outlandish sights. In a special area called Muscle Beach, devoted entirely to public outdoor weightlifting, bodybuilders show off by executing impressive feats of strength. Ocean Front Walk, which runs parallel to the beach, is home to all manner of street performers, such as musicians, comedians, fortune-tellers, mimes, jugglers, and acrobats, among others. With so much to do and see, Venice Beach is far from dull. If you're a fan of popular culture, you will definitely want to check out the Hollywood Walk of Fame. This iconic stretch of sidewalk in the district of Hollywood, spanning 18 blocks of Hollywood Boulevard and Vine Street, celebrates more than 2,500 well-known entertainment industry personalities, living, dead, and even fictional, with commemorative five-point stars embedded in the ground. So take a walk along the Walk of Fame and see if you can spot your favorite stars! And while you're there, you might catch sight of the famous Capitol Records Building. The home of a record label that has worked with famous recording artists like Nat King Cole, Frank Sinatra, The Beatles, The Beach Boys, and Katy Perry, to name just a few, this 13-story structure is one of Los Angeles's most recognizable landmarks. Impress your friends with this fun fact: The blinking light seen at the tower's peak spells out "Hollywood" in Morse code.
What to Do
While you're staying in Los Angeles, be sure to make a day trip to Disneyland Park in nearby Anaheim, CA. Designed and built under the supervision of famous animator and entertainer Walt Disney himself, this cheerful and captivating amusement park was opened in 1955 and has since grown into one of the most visited parks in the world. From the quaint shops of Main Street U.S.A. to the exhilarating thrill rides of Tomorrowland, Disneyland Park has consistently wowed its guests, both young and old, since its inception. For those who don't wish to stray far from their Los Angeles hotels, there is plenty to do in the city of Los Angeles itself, too. Trek up to the top of Sandstone Peak, the highest point in the Santa Monica Mountains. This hike can be a bit of a challenge, but the reward is a beautiful panoramic view of Santa Monica Bay and the city of Los Angeles. Maybe you'd prefer to stay at sea level: If so, an afternoon spent at one of the city's many gorgeous beaches might be more to your liking, especially if you love to swim or surf. Los Angeles has something for the fun-seeker in everyone.
If you're someone who appreciates the visual arts, don't miss the J. Paul Getty Museum. With an aim to inspire and illuminate, the museum houses an outstanding collection of paintings, drawings, sculptures, photographs, and more from both European and American artists. Open Tuesday through Sunday at its Los Angeles location and Wednesday through Monday at its Malibu location, the J. Paul Getty Museum has a tranquil atmosphere perfect for enjoying exceptional art. The Los Angeles Zoo is another great place to just relax and take in some truly amazing sights. There, you'll find more than 250 different species of animals in astonishing exhibits that simulate various habitats found in the wild. The zoo is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. every day of the year except for Christmas. It's a definite crowd-pleaser and provides a wonderful educational opportunity for kids. The Griffith Observatory offers yet another chance to expand your mind with a host of informative space-related displays. A landmark and popular tourist attraction, the observatory supplies visitors with an absolutely incredible view of the Los Angeles Basin, and best of all, admission is free!
When to Go
Weather in Los Angeles is pretty mild year-round, with temperatures generally sticking to the 60s and 70s. The most popular time to visit is during the summer months from June to August. Highs in the mid-80s are not uncommon in the summertime, and smog is at its worst during this season, which might make summertime in L.A. less appealing to some travelers. On the other hand, ocean temperatures are the warmest in late summer, so if you're someone who likes to swim, August might be the best time to visit. If you want to avoid the crowds, you should consider taking a spring or fall vacation when temperatures are milder and smog is less of a concern. Awards season (roughly November through February) is the time to go for celebrity sightings, and the winter months from January to March are your best bet for great deals on cheap hotels in Los Angeles. Just be aware that winter is also the only time you're likely to encounter precipitation in this typically dry city. No matter what time of year you visit, Travelocity can take the stress out of finding an affordable hotel. Los Angeles is a city where dreams come true, and with Travelocity, you can turn your L.A. dreams into reality by discovering fantastic travel packages and unbelievable deals on the best hotels. Los Angeles beckons: Start planning your vacation now!

Things look a little different around the ol' homestead now, eh? That's right, spawn.com now has a new look. But spawn.com 3.0 is more than a surface makeover. In addition to a new feel, the site has new guts ... an entirely new structure of layout and architecture.
In planning, design and testing for more than a year, our Web staff had a couple of major goals for spawn.com 3.0. The first was that the site needed to be easier to navigate. The second was that the site would implement a more consistent artistic approach across the board.
Spawn.com is now different from top to bottom. Not all sections are active at this time, but will be added as time allows. Feel free to surf through and familiarize yourself with the new site design and architecture. We believe you'll find it much easier to get the information you're searching for.
Here are a couple of the major highlights:All the info that used to be contained in the pop-up window at the front of the site is now on the home page.
Links to the eight major sections of the site are now in the menu bar that appears across the top of every page and in the link menu at the bottom of the home page.
Some of the major pages of the site are accessible in the drop-down menus of the menu bar located across the top of each page. Other links are found within the sections themselves.
Links leading back up toward the home page appear in the horizontal bar under the section tab.
The message board is now located in the "Community" section. The forum names have been changed, but all old posts and user profiles are still available.Though the new design is a bit of a radical departure from the old, we hope you'll enjoy the new look of spawn.com and have an easier time locating the information you need.

Create a Hipster Logo – Photoshop TutorialPhotoshop |
How did the hipster burn his lips? He ate the pizza before it was cool. Why did the hipster put on a sweater while it was still warm? Because he wanted to wear a sweater before it was cool. Alright, we get it, hipster jokes can be fun, but really, who doesn't love the wonderful world of textures, old-world typography made cool again, textures, faded photography, and colored jeans that has seemed to be continually enveloped in the Hipster culture. We're going to take to Photoshop and create this variation of a hipster style logo/American Eagle t-shirt design which should get you excited and definitely looks pretty cool too. We're going to use a modified type face in Photoshop and some texture brushes, skewing, colors, masking, and more to create a cool little design. Keep in mind, if a pixel falls in the woods and no one is around to hear it, a hipster will buy it on vinyl. Design responsibly.7 comments

I have got to answer Misery because it contains one of my all time favorite performances in James Caan. Not to mention the screenplay being written by my all time favorite screenwriter, William Goldman, the story being terrifying, and finally, Bates' contribution, which is perfect.
My answer being duly recorded, I must say, today I'd rather watch Shawshank or Green Mile. Also, if 1408 or The Mist rears an adorable head I'm watching them, too.
I've always loved Needful Things--which I saw long before reading any sK books and probably not being aware he was even involved--mostly due to the story's concept, its connection with an embarrassing fact about humanity, but also due to Ed Harris' grand performance, as well as the actor playing the little boy, I think his name is Shane Meier, who, imho, stole the show.

The Allied Health Leadership (AHLD) concentration is designed to offer students with Associate of Applied Science (A.A.S.) degrees in allied health fields the opportunity to obtain a baccalaureate degree by using more of their A.A.S. hours than normally transfer to a four-year institution.
Traditionally, A.A.S. graduates find that many of their allied health credit hours do not transfer to a four-year institution. This concentration allows A.A.S. graduates the opportunity to receive undergraduate credit for allied health professional courses completed at a community college.
This concentration will build upon their existing knowledge to enhance their skills in communications, critical thinking, problem solving, research and leadership theories.
In addition, the concentration will equip graduates with entry-level management, group dynamics, and supervisory skills as they relate to the allied health disciplines. Successful completion of the concentration will increase the mobility of graduates into leadership positions in their respective professions.
Admissions Requirements
Students seeking admission to the Allied Health Leadership concentration must meet the following criteria:
1. College GPA of 2.5 or better on a 4.0 scale on all transferable credit;
2. Transcript(s)-proof of graduation from an accredited allied health
professional program;
3. Eligibility for professional licensure in discipline.
Academic Advising
Students interested in the B.S. Completion Program at ETSU should make an advisement appointment by calling (423) 547-4900. Periodic advising is strongly recommended.
Expenses/Financial Aid
Current tuition and fees are available on the Bursar's web site.

Mercy Field marks firsts for manyWritten by Caitlin McGlade | | email@example.com
Before a backdrop of winter's bare trees against spring's azure sky, they stood.
The young men, standing in a semicircle from first to third base, are the ballplayers who get to break in Mercy Field.
Hundreds of parents, baseball fans and school leaders alike gathered to celebrate a number of "firsts" the evening of March 14. This marks the first year that Lourdes University has a baseball team. This is the first year that Central Catholic High School will call a new field home. It is the first time that Mercy has named a sports facility.
Everything about the place is polished. The ground on the field is covered with state-of-the-art turf — the same material The Ohio State University and the Pittsburgh Pirates use. The bleachers, which can handle more than 400 people, have a sleek shine. Walk inside the brick building wrapping around the field and you'll find a study room equipped with wireless Internet and a spacious locker room.
"It's sort of unreal to walk out there and say 'Yeah, this is my home field,'" said Austin Gunn, a junior studying education at Lourdes University.
The ground upon which he stood was planted years ago by a man named Cleves Delp. Delp runs The Delp Company, a consulting firm in Maumee that deals in wealth and risk management and employee benefits.
A couple of years ago, Delp approached Father Dennis Hartigan, president of Central Catholic, and asked him what he thought about building a baseball field for the school. The school's administration took surveys of the community to determine whether the idea would catch, but Hartigan concluded that the school would have trouble finding enough donors to fund the project, Hartigan said.
Delp decided to pay for it himself.
He rented land on South Holland-Sylvania Road from the Diocese of Toledo, paid to have the facility built and drew in Mercy as a sponsor. Some 100 meetings later, Lourdes University and Central Catholic now rent the field from him.
Delp played baseball for Central Catholic as a teen and continued playing baseball during college. But, he said, this is not about baseball.
"This field is about the extension of the renaissance of Central Catholic High School," he said. "It really isn't about baseball; that is just the conduit to the real mission."
The deed also extends the arms of Lourdes University. Under President Robert Helmer's watch, who is leaving for Baldwin-Wallace College, the institution has added a men's baseball team and men's and women's basketball and volleyball teams. Next year, the school will have a softball team, he said.
Delp said he feels close to Central Catholic because it is "uniquely" Catholic. For example, he said the entire tennis team must attend Mass on Fridays. He used to serve on the school's board and his marketing director, Jesse MacDonald, is the school's tennis coach. He also cited the school's quality of education; it was the first in the area to offer an international baccalaureate diploma.
Delp may have funded most of the operation, but the feat was not something he did alone. He credits his good friend and Central Catholic baseball coach Jeff Mielcarek, who is also the Catholic Youth Organization athletic director, with helping him foster the idea. As kids, he said they both played Little League, but not on the same team. As they grew up, their lives continued to intertwine. They worked for the Mud Hens together at one point. One day, Mielcarek suggested to Delp that the two should dream.
"Little did I know, [Mielcarek] delivered," he said. "Here we are, a few hundreds of thousands of dollars later."
The project also united four Catholic institutions that have never worked together on such a scale. Delp did not set out to only work with Catholic entities, but he said he was pleased that it turned out that way.
Hartigan and Helmer both said Wednesday that the deal is all about providing what is best for the students. That means seeing a student as a well-rounded individual in body, soul and mind. Athletic involvement stands for part of this, Hartigan said.
When ethical breaches abound in the national sports arena, such as the New Orleans Saints' bounty scandal, anchoring sports in some kind of values is vital, Delp said.
"Athletics in the absence of a value-based system, whatever system that may be that you may choose, is dangerous," he said. "Athletics for the purpose of athletics and not for the purpose of building character is dangerous and it causes people to do silly things. To put certain things like winning above what was really supposed to be happening, and that's building character."

Starbucks® Muan Jai™ Blend
We created our first blend featuring Thai coffee to celebrate the exceptional quality of beans grown in the hills of northern Thailand. Peppery, full-bodied and balanced with lingering earthy spiciness, this coffee represents the best of the region, and our farm-direct purchasing promotes the economic well-being of those who grow it. In the dialect of hill tribe farmers "muan jai" means wholehearted happiness—a sense of pride you'll taste in every cup. Available only in its origin country and exclusively in the US online at Starbucks Store.
Did You Know?
This coffee debuted as a Thailand exclusive in 2003. Muan Jai means "wholehearted happiness" in Kum-Mueang, a language of northern Thailand. The Thai component of this coffee is produced by coffee farmers from the hill tribes of Northern Thailand and representatives from the hill tribes attended the launch event of this coffee in Thailand.
Balanced, Smooth & Rich
Recipe for great coffee
- Use cold, filtered water and a clean machine.
- Grind beans just before brewing:
- Course for coffee press
- Medium for automatic drip
- Measure 2 tbsp (10 g) ground coffee for every 6 fl oz (180 ml) water.
To help preserve that fresh flavor, keep this bag sealed tight in a cabinet (not in the refrigerator) and brew within a week of opening.
Each coffee requires slightly different amounts of time and temperature during the roasting process to create a cup at its peak of aroma, acidity, body and flavor. We classify our coffees in three roast profiles so you can easily find your desired flavor and intensity.
- Blonde: Blonde-roasted coffees have a shorter roast time, lighter body and mellow flavors.
- Medium: Medium-roasted coffees are balanced with smooth and rich flavors.
- Dark: Dark-roasted coffees feature a fuller body and robust, bold flavors.

I liked the Asian blend, it goes well with many items.
really great coffee. will definitely buy it again.
Great taste. I like coffee on the stronger side, Muan Jai Blend is my favorite. Just strong enough, and super smooth. When I place an order, I always order two packages of this blend. Please keep this coffee!
Although the flavor is nice with a bit of a spicy kick at the end, the beans were very dry. I had to mix them with a French Roast that had oil in the beans to make the flavor pop more and taste fresher. I will not purchase this again. I still haven't found anything better than your French Roast.
The taste of usual Starbucks coffee, hint of spices .... and then a rice after taste. A unique twist of flavor that you wouldn't notice until few seconds after your last sip. I find this better than some Starbucks Reserve I tried.
This is a very smooth, rich coffee, not at all bitter.
We have purchased many different types of Starbucks whole beans products. This is the best of all even the reserve products because of it's deep roasted flavor and smooth tasting aspects of this brand. We just hope they keep this brand availible long term!
The best oriental brew that Starbucks carries. My whole family loved it with a smile, a raised eyebrow, & a wow! Now that's good! No bite & wonderful smooth notes of yumminess... great as a french press or drip. Love it.
I enjoy drinking this coffee as my first wake up cup of coffee. It has a crisp taste with lots of flavor. You gotta try it, it's a great wake up blend
I know, everybody loves Sumatra and I am probably committing blasphemy by saying that I have grown a little tired of it. It was suggested that I take the next step and try Komodo Dragon; my impressions are that it tastes like I am licking a cedar tree after a forest fire. Some may desire that taste; I don't care for it personally. I pressed onward, searching for a new "bold" favorite.
I ordered a couple bags of Muan Jai on my last purchase and I do not regret it. It really is a treat for the senses! Upon opening the bag, there is a deep spice note, yet it isn't cedar-y like Komodo Dragon.
My preferred method of brewing is the pour over, as I feel it creates a much cleaner tasting cup of coffee than with a press. Water boiling in the electric kettle, coffee ground and placed in the pourover system sitting neatly on top of my favorite ceramic mug, and I am ready to go.
As I bloom the grounds, the scent of stonefruits, like plums and cherries, comes alive. A few minutes later, after brewing is finished, I take my first sip. Spicy, complex, full bodied, and smooth; not even a hint of smoke, as is common with other Asian coffees due to their preferred roasting profile.
This coffee would go amazing with a slice of coffee cake, warm cobbler, or now that I think about it.... bread pudding! Yum... It definitely lives up to its name, meaning "wholehearted happiness." I think this will be what I serve with dessert at Thanksgiving this year. I wish this was brewed and sold in stores in the United States.

MBAs need not apply
By Aarre
from Ann Arbor, MI
About Me Parent Of Two Or More Children, Working Parent
Comments about Minute Math Electronic Flash Card™:
LOL the fact that the holder of "an MBA from an Ivy League school" cannot figure out how to use this product tells us far more about the value of an MBA from an Ivy League school than it does about the quality of the product. The fact that this possibility does not even occur to our earnest MBA only reinforces the conclusion.Yes, the product could be better designed, but if you can't figure it out, then you are a moron.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Easy to use more fun than flash cards
By Homeschool Mom
from Suwanee, Ga
About Me Education Oriented, Parent Of Two Or More Children, Stay At Home Parent
This is easy to use and a fun way for my son to practice addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. I read neg comments before buying, but decided to buy it anyway. I do not understand why they say it is hard to use. We didn't even need the directions to figure this one out. A great find for us as homeschoolers. This is a great way for your student to practice math facts. After homeschooling 4 kids, I wanted something more fun than the typical flash cards and this is it.

Difficult to Use
By Jack
from Morgantown, West Virginia
About Me First Time Parent
I have an MBA from an Ivy League school and I found this almost impossible to use. I can't imagine how children could or would ever use it. I strongly recommend it be taken off the market. The user instructions are not at all helpful. I discarded it before frustrating my child with it. I have not been compensated for this review and I'm not going to bother asking for a refund.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Pass on this item
By Nick
from Brea, Ca
About Me Grandparent
The designer must be a smart person in their own private world. The item is smart. The item controls are poor in their application. Designer's children would not be able to use this toy and neither would my grand children. If the toy is not being used, than it defeats the purpose of the application it is designed for. I wish I had a gift receipt to return it. Difficult to access all the different options from an adult stand point. Little children who are age appropriate would not be able to access those options. Very poor design by a very smart designer. Unfortunately management should have realized that before bring it to market.

Thirty Five years ago I bought this type
By STEM EDUCATOR
from BUTLER, PA
About Me Education Oriented, Engineer Stem Educator, Grandparent
Two of my kids learned their math facts so well, that math came easy to them. I searched for a similar product and this "Minute Math" was suggested. I liked it immediately and would have gladly paid twice the asking price. It is intuitive, Kindergartners easily figure out the app. There are no instructions. Just select the level you want to try and listen for the "ready set go" tones. You get one minute to try as many problems as you can answer. It then presents how many right out of how many attempted. I gave the one I bought to my oldest Grandson along with $5.00 to his Dad - to be given to my Grandson when he achieves 20 correct on level 3.I do not care how many he tries, or how long it takes him - each "quiz" lasts only one minute. When he is done and earned his prize, he will know his add / sub facts and will probably be hooked on the devise to learn his mult /div facts. It is simply the very best devise available today to learn "the Facts, Ma'm, just the Facts, please!" to paraphrase SGT. Friday. I purchased mine from a specialty store and am about to but the second one here, on-line!

Great Product to Teach Math in FUn Way
By Lisa W
from NV
About Me Parent Of Two Or More Children
I love it when I find fun and different ways to help my children learn. My kids love anything that is interactive and electronic when it comes to learning. I received a Minute Math Electronic Flash Card from Learning Resources. This is a great way to practice math facts anywhere. Minute Math makes math fun. It can be used to challenge your child on math facts. It can also be done as a game. There are a series of math questions that pop up and your child has to plug in the missing number. I had to try it myself and it really is fun. I love that as your child continues to learn you can adjust the level up higher. This is a great learning toy that can grow with them. It is suggested for children in first grade and up. I definitely think it's appropriate for that age as you can set it on the subtraction/addition setting and put it on level 1. However, if you have an older child you can also use it to challenge them on their multiplication and division. Sample received for free for my blog review.

Fun and Educational
By Between the Lines
from USA
Thursday, December 29, 2011Learning Resources Review and GiveawayDo your kids love learning as much as mine? Do you have trouble finding toys and games that are educational, yet fun at the same time? Learning resources "is a leading manufacturer of innovative, hands-on educational materials for classrooms and learning toys for the home. For more than 25 years, the company has been a trusted source for educators and parents for quality, award-winning educational products." Just visit their easy to navigate website and you will be amazed at how many wonderful products that your child would be interested in and benefit from.Now I don't usually like to brag about my kids (5 and 7), but they are extremely smart. They are both several grade levels ahead in reading, writing, and spelling. However, I will be the first to admit that they both could use a little extra help when it comes to math. For as smart as they are, they both seem to have a hard time with their simple math facts. They can figure out longer problems that include basic math facts, but it takes them a long time. As a mother and a teacher, I feel that it is important that kids know their basic addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division math facts. I also think they should learn them so that they can answer without hesitation. The Minute Math Electronic Flash Card is helping them both reach that goal. This fun little math game, encourages them to practice daily. It even has them challenging themselves to beat their best score. So far my 7 year old has received 13 out of 13 correct in one minute. She has now set a new goal to get 15 out of 15.

Always a very real possibility.
Weidman seems to be getting more hype than a lot of Silva's opponents, but we've also seen Silva destroy guys who were supposed to have a good chance at winning.
What do you think we'll see tomorrow night?
Always a very real possibility.
Weidman seems to be getting more hype than a lot of Silva's opponents, but we've also seen Silva destroy guys who were supposed to have a good chance at winning.
What do you think we'll see tomorrow night?
This is basically one of those fights where whomever makes the first critical mistake is going to lose. I don't think either party will get dominated or schooled.
Anderson Silva:
Best Fighter on the planet.
Silva will leave us all in awe as usual.
The odds are only so close because the bookies want to bait in those hearing all the Weidman hype.
I hope I eat my words but I dont think I will be.
And if you want beef, then bring the ruckus
Im afraid i have to agree with the rest of you this time. I like Weidman, his wins have all been pretty good stuff, but Silva is just on an entire different level. Im expecting a 2nd round tko, in ridiculous fashion, as per his usual. Then the hype for a Bones fight begins....
Silva spanks that ass.
He'll be aware of the takedowns and he'll outclass Weidman EVERYWHERE.
Weidman hasn't fought in a YEAR!!!
And people think that he wont come in with any ring rust and that he's gonna be a huge threat to the greatest MMA fighter. WRONG.
There's only so much hype for Weidman because the common fan has no idea who the hell Chris Weidman is.
Favorite Fighter: JIM MILLER.
Scariest Dude on the Planet: TYRONE SPONG.
Other Favorites: Anderson Silva, Gegard Mousasi, Joe Lauzon, Khabib Nurmagomedov, Conor McGregor, Paul Daley, Ross Pearson, Donald Cerrone, Renan Barao, Glover Texiera, & Alistair Overeem.
"He doesn't write his own material. Some homo in Queens living in his mother's basement in his underwear is writing Chael's material for him." - DON FRYE.
I think this will look like a less competitive version of the Hendo fight. I don't think Chris will overcommit the way Hendo does, but he'll throw combinations and he still does those from memory with his eye off his opponent. Anderson will bait him in one of those exchanges and make him pay before Chris can grab a leg.
IMO the lines are close because the lines try to predict how people are betting, not who's going to win; and I think MMA betting is still heavily biased by hype.
Other factors that help the Weidman hype.... nicknamed "The All-American" and he's fighting 2 days after Independence day, and he happens to be undefeated something the casual or common fans like seeing.
I don't know what to predict for the fight. I keep thinking how all good things come to an end and everyone's luck runs out eventually. Chris's talent certainly makes him appear to be the biggest threat to Anderson in quite some time. In the end though my gut says Silva will probably add another win to his legacy.

I heard the weirdest thing from a patient today and wondered if anyone else has had this issue with their day care or school?
I saw a 15 month old patient of mine for his "well baby" checkup and the mother, who is an elementary school teacher, was surprised when I told her that her son needed some immunizations. Now, she has no problems vaccinating her children, but she was concerned as she had "planned" on taking her son to daycare after her visit that morning and had forgotten that he had vaccines at the visit. I couldn't figure out what the problem was....but she said that she couldn't take him back to daycare on the same day that he had his shots! WHAT?
Now this child was getting his 15 month old HIB and DTap "booster" shots (in other words, he had received 3 of these vaccines before) and there was not a history of ANY problems. The daycare also "required" that her child show proof of his immunizations.....so what was the deal? How is it possible that parents must take off from work on a day that their child sees the pediatrician for a "well child" visit and immunizations and then the child cannot go to daycare? How are parents supposed to juggle work and "save" days off for when their child is ill and legitimately needs to stay home?
She wanted to get his vaccines, as she really did not have another day that she felt she could take off in the near future and she was already at my office. What a dilemma. So, I grabbed my letterhead, and hand wrote a letter to the daycare explaining that he had just had his check up, was in EXCELLENT health, and that he had received his immunizations according to AAP and ACIP guidelines and could return to school. Guess what? It didn't help! The poor mother had to take the rest of the day off from school, get a substitute for her class and go home with her perfectly healthy and fully immunized child. Seems like we penalized her as well as her class for trying to be a good parent.
I think this is crazy! I'm all for keeping sick children out of day care and school, but for immunizations....go figure.
