UTES TRAVEL WEST: The University of Utah men's baseball team travels to Stockton, Calif. for a four game series with Pacific University. The Utes and Tigers will face off Fri., Feb. 27 at 7 p.m. in a single nine-inning contest. Two seven-inning contests will be played on Sat., Feb. 28 at 1 p.m.. The series will be concluded on Sun., Mar. 1 at 1 p.m. in a single nine-inning contest.
UTES TAKE TWO FROM SUU: The Utes took two of three from Southern Utah in Mesquite, Nev.. Utah won the first seven-inning game with BRANDON PAGE (1-0) picking up his first win in `98, 15-5. The Ute sluggers blasted four home runs by CHAD TRUBY, JED CHRISMAN, and JOHN SUMMERS (2). Utah fell in the night cap 5-3, when the T-Birds scored three runs in the seventh. The Utes bounced back on Saturday posting a 14-5 win over the Southern Utah. The Utes 14-run output was JC transfer JOHN SUMMERS who was 8 for 12 on the weekend with three home runs, two doubles and eight RBIs. BRETT McDERMAID (2- 0) picked up the win.
INJURIES HIT EARLY: Utah has suffered major injuries to key players early in the `98 campaign. The Utes have already lost two starters to season ending injuries: MIKE GOFF(broken arm); and MATT MATEJECK (right knee). Team captain and pre-season all-WAC catcher NATE FORBUSH suffered torn ligaments in his wrist and is expected to be sidelined a minimum of 3-4 weeks. Senior pitcher RICK CLAGETT strained his right arm in the third inning against Mesa State and utility player RYAN HILTS re-injured a groin pull in Grand Junction. Both Clagett and Hilits are listed as questionable for the Pacific series.
UTE HEADLINERS: The Utes lost 12 letterman from the 1997 record setting squad and return only 2 position starters (NATE FORBUSH and CHAD TRUBY) and 11 underclass lettermen. As depleted as the batting lineup is, the Ute pitching corps is as deep as they ever have been. The Utes return seven letterman pitchers, but more importantly, return four starters and a primary closer. The following Utes are players to watch during the `98 campaign: pitchers SEAN CAWLEY, RICK CLAGETT, RAY CLINTON, LANCE ERICKSEN and BRANDON PAGE; catchers NATE FORBUSH and JARED LARSEN; infielders CHAD TRUBY and BEN MARZIALE; and outfielder SAM SWENSON.
MAKING AN IMPACT: With the loss of key position players including: All-American centerfielder CASEY CHILD, third baseman CURTIS HALL, first baseman MICHAEL HEIDEMANN, and outfielders MATT EELES and DUSTY ATKINSON. There are obvious holes in the lineup, but not for long when these newcomers make their mark in the Ute lineup: designated hitter/outfielder JED CHRISMAN, infielder RYAN JOHNERSON, utility RYAN HILTS, pitcher BRETT McDERMAID, outfielders ERIC WALLACE and MIKE WOOD.
ON THE ROAD AGAIN: The Utes open the 1998 season with a 26-game road trip. The Ute home opener is on Mar. 20th at Franklin Quest Field against the Air Force Academy.
UTE COACHING STAFF: The Utes are under the direction of second-year head coach TIM ESMAY (42-27-1, Arizona State `88). Esmay guided the Utes to a 36-21-1 record, setting a school record for wins, and the Utes first divisional title since 1965. Esmay played on Arizona State's College World Series Teams and also played at Scottsdale Community College (Ariz.). Esmay served as an assistant coach under one-year Ute head coach Bill Kinneberg. When Kinneberg left for an assistant job at his alma mater, Arizona, Esmay was called upon to fill the coaching void. Esmay did more than fill a void as he led the `97 squad to a banner year that is undoubtedly the best season is school history. Assisting Esmay in his efforts are assistants JOHN FLORES (Grand Canyon `94) and TODD DELNOCE (Arizona State `94). Flores returns for his second season as pitching coach and Delnoce, in his third season, assists in hitting and outfield instruction. New to the staff in `98 is volunteer assistant coach JOE GODRI.

Moving on to Lee Daniels' THE BUTLER, Daniels presents us with the trans-historical character of Cecil Gaines (Forest Whitaker) as a common man rhetorical figure in the cinematic tradition of Woody Allen's ZELIG (1983) and Robert Zemeckis' FORREST GUMP (1994). These trans-historic characters have a tangential connection to important people and/or events throughout history and act as an "impartial" lens through which these events and people can be interpreted.
THE BUTLER centers on the interactions between Cecil Gaines and the presidents he served for 34 years at the White House. These interactions reflect upon the larger social events that took place and shaped both the Civil Rights Movement and the trials and tribulations of African-Americans in American society. As Cecil rises to bourgeois prominence as a White House servant many of the presidents he serves are confronted by violent racial changes and social upheavals. Each president finds an informal moment to confer with Cecil –as a common Black man- before they engage in controversial decisions that shape history: from Eisenhower and school desegregation, John F. Kennedy and the Freedom Riders, to Lyndon Johnson and the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965.
These interactions between Cecil and the various presidents are juxtaposed with the advances in the Civil Rights Movement and serve the film well from a structural and dramatic standpoint, but there is a troubling gap in the story that obliges the spectator to use Black story cognition to fill in the gap and continue to enjoy the rest of the film. Of the 30 plus years and multiple administrations covered there are two presidents that are not characterized and have no interaction with Cecil: President Ford (1974-1977) and President Carter (1977-1981) and these omissions form a serious story gap.
While Daniels is especially adroit at intercutting the growing significance of The Black Panther Party and Nixon's paranoid plans to twist the notion of Black Power into his own agenda for Black "business" Power- the omission of the administrations of Ford and Carter does not allow him to intercut the dismantling of The Black Panther Party and the ravages of poverty that were carried forward against the Black community during these administrations. Daniels omits images and dramatizations of the concerted backlash against the advances of the Civil Rights Movement. As Michelle Alexander documents in her book, THE NEW JIM CROW: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness, " And while it is generally believed that the backlash against the Civil Rights Movement is defined primarily by the rollback of affirmative action and the undermining of federal civil rights legislation by a hostile judiciary, the seeds of the new system of control –mass incarceration- were planted during the Civil Rights Movement itself, when it became clear that the old caste system was crumbling and a new one would have to take its place."(2)
In short, by omitting the interaction between Cecil and these two presidents (Ford and Carter) THE BUTLER exchanges the horrifying details of the government's assault on the Black Panther Party and other Black Power factions (i.e. SLA and Patty Hearst) for the bourgeois ascension of Cecil's son, Louis Gaines (David Oyelowo) as he leaves the Black Panther Party, earns a Master's Degree and runs for Congress. By focusing on the ascension (liberation) of one Black character, the assaults, injustice and inequities that plague the group are diminished as that single character ascends and becomes a symbol of Black Story cognition: We shall overcome- someday.
Now it could be argued that these Presidents and their administrations were omitted because of time constraints, but such omissions create the story gaps that oblige us as spectators to shift our attention from the larger portrait of social injustice to the smaller picture of "small gains" made by a single individual as representative of larger socio-political gains that were in fact not occurring on a mass scale. The story gaps within THE BUTLER, eclipses the resentments and retrenchments against the Civil Rights Movement in exchange for the ascension of one Black character beyond those circumstances. It is Black story cognition that fills in the gap between the reconciliation between Cecil Gaines and his son Louis Gaines during the American protests for the freedom of Nelson Mandela in the 1980's to the election of Barack Obama. We are encouraged to witness the overcoming of our people without experiencing the full weight of the struggle because Black story cognition conceals the struggle of the group for the acceptance of the exceptional Black individual as a symbol of progress.
It is under these contingent and pragmatic circumstances that the real life unjust murders of Blacks like George Stiney Jr. in South Carolina, Oscar Grant III in California, Trayvon Martin in Florida, Renisha McBride in Michigan and Jonathan Ferrell in North Carolina and many, many others constantly remind us that that 'someday' has not come soon enough for all of us.
Our final Black film for examination is Justin Chadwick's MANDELA: Long Walk To Freedom that was based upon the 1994 autobiography of Nelson Mandela a leader of the anti-apartheid movement in South Africa, President of the African National Congress, Political prisoner, and South Africa's first Black president. Nelson Mandela's real life story as detailed in his autobiography and filmed is a complete exercise in Black story cognition in that many of the story gaps encourage the spectator to make assumptions that assess the "small gains" of one exceptional character's ascension from the victim of racial oppression to the democratically elected leader of a racially polarized country.
In the film, once Mandela (Idris Elba) and other ANC members are imprisoned on Robben Island, they are all issued short pants as a racially motivated insult to their manhood. As Mandela states in his autobiography," From the first day, I had protested about being forced to wear short trousers. I demanded to see the head of the prison and made a list of complaints."(3) In the film, Mandela protests to the warden, who in turn, assures Mandela of how little he cares about such a protest by his prisoners because he is well off financially, owns several properties and has a life outside of the prison walls.
Later, when the warden announces to Mandela that he is retiring, he is shocked that Mandela remembered all of the details of his wealth and properties he owns beyond the prison walls. In the following scene, all of the ANC prisoners receive long trousers. This story gap obliges the spectator to use the master assumption of Black story cognition to accept an exceptional individual Black character winning small gains for an elite group. It must be assumed that the Warden was so touched by Mandela's exceptional humility and memory in the face of daunting oppression and indignity that as a last official act before retiring he granted the long trousers.
Also like 12 YEARS A SLAVE, the most noticeable story gaps in MANDELA, center upon the unresolved circumstances facing the female character of Winnie Mandela (Naomi Harris) and how the White South African government's unmitigated atrocities committed against its Black South African citizenry must be "looked over" as Mandela attempts to unify the country via a democratic election that would have him elected as the country's first Black president.
There are many other omissions including," The Secret History of How Cuba Helped End Apartheid In South African," as detailed by Historian, Piero Gleijeses and others. (4) That is to say, in the effort to underscore the exceptional qualities of Nelson Mandela, as an individual Black leader, the gaps within the film's story obliges the spectator to gloss over larger group details and focus on the accumulation of small gains by the exceptional Black hero of the tale. The short trousers incident is one example of how Mandela's narrative accommodates the master assumption of Black story cognition: We Shall Overcome- someday.
Such story gaps can and indeed must be looked over so that the events on screen can be blended into the smaller portrait of the rise of an exceptional individual (and/or elite group) in exchange for the diminished dramatic attention upon the suffering and the struggles of the racial group as a whole.
All of this is not to say that 12 YEARS A SLAVE, THE BUTLER, or MANDELA: Long Walk to Freedom are not great films; they are powerful works but we have looked at these Black films to reveal how Black story cognition operates in the context of Black cinema. Yet Black story cognition is much more complex and malleable than White story cognition in part because the American Entertainment Complex sustains an artificial segregation between White films and Black films which often obliges Black spectators to accept the master assumption of White story cognition to continue to comprehend and gain pleasure from White films.
For example, Black spectators are often obliged to shift from Black story cognition and accept White story cognition when one or more Black co-lead and/or supporting characters are killed off or rendered ineffectual in White films. Such unceremonious killings or dramatic neutering of Black characters usually take place in the middle of film or just before the final act so that Black spectators are often confronted with the choice of having to shift from Black story cognition and accept White story cognition to continue to comprehend and enjoy the telling of the tale. In a film like Coppola's APOCALYSPE NOW (1979) once the last remaining Black character, Chief (Albert Hall) is killed, Black spectators are obliged to choose to shift and accept White story cognition if any more pleasure is to be gained from the film's narrative.
The Cognition Switch Point
Shrewd, savvy and calculating White filmmakers and producers know that the Black characters within a White film are dramatically expendable and that the ratio of Black audience ticket sales is directly correlated to whether or not the Black character(s) who are performed by recognizable Black stars stay alive until the middle of the film or until just before the final act. I would suggest that there is a discernible narrative point in any White film that has Black co-lead or supporting characters where these characters can be killed off or rendered ineffectual and the audience (Blacks or other minorities) will continue to gain pleasure from the telling of the tale by switching to White story cognition. We will call this point where a Black character can be killed or rendered ineffectual within a story and the Black audience is obliged to switch to White story cognition to continue to enjoy the film: The Cognition Switch Point.
Many Black spectators willingly switch from the master assumption of "We Shall Overcome- Someday" to "They [Whites] shall always prevail" if both the remaining hero of the film is White and there is less than one third of the film left to watch before the ending.
We can apprehend these cognition switch points in films as varied as, OBLIVION (2013) where Morgan Freeman shared top billing with Tom Cruise but his character doesn't appear until near the middle of the film and is killed before the ending of the film or the abrupt and unexplained disappearance of Laurence Fishburne's character of Detective Sergeant Whity Powers in Clint Eastwood's film, MYSTIC RIVER (2003). Another example of a White film that demonstrates a cognition switch point for Black spectators is Ridley Scott's PROMETHEUS (2012) where Idris Elba's character of the ship's captain, Janek must sacrifice himself so that the White characters prevail and the story can continue in subsequent films.
In fact, the cognition switch point is often most noticeable in science-fiction and horror films where many Black spectators and critics have noted that Black characters rarely survive until the end. Yet the cognition switch point exists in many White films of different genres where Blacks are in co-lead or supporting roles because the definition of a White film instructs that the narrative resolves itself by giving more dramatic attention to the emotions and circumstances of the White character(s).
If the master assumption of White story cognition supports an illusion of White supremacy in cinematic narration, what illusion does the master assumption of Black story cognition support? I would suggest that the master assumption of Black story cognition implicitly supports the illusion of White supremacy in that it acknowledges the truth of racial oppression but tempers the passion of a violent overthrow with the promise of "small gains" made towards future liberation- someday. Indeed, it may well be that the pacification effect in Black story cognition is why it is so easy for many Blacks to switch to White story cognition when they are watching White films.
If Androcles Were a Rebel
The purpose of detailing White story cognition in part one and Black story cognition in part two is so that in the third part of this article we can suggest ways to fulfill the mandate of Black Film Theory which is to contaminate the "Whiteness" of the dominate cinema, destroy its foundations and build a new racially inclusive cinema that contests and/or exposes all inequities (race, class, gender etc) at every opportunity in the pleasurable context of filmed entertainment. For the maverick filmmaker, the independent thinker, and whosoever would be the thorn in the paw of the Lion, the first step involved to fulfill such a mandate of Black Film Theory must begin by subverting the master assumptions of White story cognition and Black story cognition.
This radical operation must be a pre-filmic activity that modifies the master assumption of White story cognition from," We shall always prevail" to "Sometimes we fail" (please check the rhyme). It must also modify the master assumption of Black story cognition from," We shall overcome- someday," to "We have overcome". Because as film scholar Gladstone Yearwood asserted," An Afrocentric-based filmmaking practice effectively questions the cultural imperialism of Hollywood cinema and shifts concerns from minor superficial changes to the underlying structure of the narration itself." (5) Part of this underlying structure is found in story cognition and its impact upon our perception of the circumstances represented in a film.
Luckily, there have been a few brilliant filmmakers whose work can serve as formal models for the subversion of the master assumption of White story cognition and highlight a few paths to consider for the subversion of the master assumption of Black story cognition. In part three of this series we will examine a few films from the oeuvre of Stanley Kubrick and Jim Jarmusch as peculiar models for the subversion of White and Black story cognition.

The hard fact of the matter is, if you want great racing, you would have to take almost all of the money/sponsorship away from the racing.
You cant have great racing when there are so many heavy interests/money involved, just cant happen. The more rules and restrictions you place to make the racing more fair just stifles competition and takes away the spirit.
WSBK is better than MotoGP because the bikes at least have something to do with whats on offer/relevant to the 'consumers'
Prototypes will always favor the deep pockets, and nobody really wants to watch a single make prototype racing class, imo.
If I were in charge of it all I would merge WSS/Moto2 & MotoGP/WSBK, any thing prototype would have to be affordable/on offer to consumers, and get rid of traction control, because the pilot still has a clutch lever, and the ability to balance a bike and pick a new line.
Keep Moto3, but turn it in to cup racing, and just force the red bull guys to race in Spain or where ever.

Former inmate warns at-risk kids
Twenty-seven years ago, Raymond Roe had a chip on his shoulder and made some bad decisions.
Jumping from one job to another with mounting bills, a new baby at home and no real goals, the former Marine was angry.
Angry at the way his life was heading – angry at his alcoholic and abusive father – angry at the world.
"I met the wrong people at the worst time in my life," Roe told a group of students Friday at PATH (PA Treatment & Healing), an alternative school in Bridgewater Twp. PATH specializes in educating high-risk youths.
With those people, Roe, formerly of Susquehanna, committed three robberies – two in New York, one in Pennsylvania. He was caught and was sentenced to serve 15-1/3 to 40 years in a maximum security prison in New York.
Despite a clean prison record, Roe served 24 years behind bars where he let go of his anger, forgave his father and accepted personal responsibility for his crime.
Now at age 50, he's made it his mission to share his experiences with young people. "I've spent most of my life behind a wall," he said. Later adding, "The little bit of life I've got left, I want to make the best of it."
"I wanted to come see you guys," he said to the PATH students. "I want to give you things to think about that I should have thought about that night."
"I knew (the night of the robberies) that it was wrong. I knew right from wrong. My gut welled up that night," he said. "I hit bottom."
And, in hitting bottom, he accepted that what had happened was his own fault.
Behind the wall
Roe told the students about his feelings as he entered New York's maximum security prison system. "I'm petrified," he recalled. "Am I going to make it through this?"
Roe said he blamed everyone except for himself. "I felt about as alone as I could feel."
He spoke to the students about life inside the prison walls where he regularly witnessed violence that stemmed largely from the inside drug-trade.
"Do you know how long a year in prison is? In a cage, a concrete wall with violence all around me – bizarre violence," he said.
"I sacrificed the majority of my life," Roe said.
beyond jail
Beyond his jail-time, Roe said his crime and incarceration also carried other consequences.
He said his crime also brought shame to his family, friends and community.
"Some never gave up on me," he said. But there are also people in his life that he never heard from since his arrest.
"When you do harm to a community, they may not want you back," he also told the students.
While he was incarcerated, Roe's mother and sister became seriously ill with cancer. Both died before his release from prison. As did his father, who Roe forgave while in prison after he learned more about the addiction that is alcoholism.
"They weren't here when I came home. I had a gravesite to visit," he said. "All the people I loved – I lost them all."
In addition to the loss of people in his life, Roe also said he's lost other rights that most Americans take for granted.
"I'll never own a gun," he said. "And for a long time, I could not vote. Registering to vote puts you back on the path to being part of the community."
Lifetime repercussions
There are also collateral consequences to having a felony record.
"I'm limited as to where I can work," Roe said. He told the students that employment in a bank or working a cash register would be difficult to obtain. "It's tough. Not many people want to give us a chance."
"My first job was a factory job. And I was grateful," he said.
He went to work every day with a smile on his face. "I'm happy. I'm out of this nightmare and I feel real."
Finding a way
"You have an open opportunity to go anywhere you want," Roe told the students. "You've got that chance right now."
And, he said, education was the key to help them find their way.
Roe became involved in a college program while in prison but after a year of classes, the grants that supported the program were eliminated.
But Cornell University stepped up and Roe was placed in a college program competing for grades against some of the best and brightest students in the country.
"And I was getting A's," he said which helped raise his self-esteem.
Paroled before he could finish his bachelor's degree, Roe now serves on the board of directors for the Cornell Prison Education Program.
"We all come home," he said of the vast majority of people who leave the prison system. "(The state) is not giving us anything to come home to (without the educational opportunities).
Looking forward
"When I look back at my life, I see a lot I don't like," Roe said. "But now – there's a lot I do like."
What he likes now is spending time with his daughter and his grandchildren – making up for time lost while he was in prison.
It was his daughter, now a grown woman, who was waiting for him at the front gate the day he was paroled. "She was there," he said. "Somehow we managed to keep the relationship."
Student advice
Roe advised the PATH students to start noting their own accomplishments. "Set little goals," he said. "You'll start believing in yourself. Figure out where you want to go."
And his advice came without a candy-coating after sharing his life story.
"I guarantee you've got stories – hard stories, some you don't talk about," he said.
He also warned them about drugs and addiction noting many prison short-timers ended up with lengthy sentences once they got caught up in the drug trade which fuels much of the prison violence.
"It turns into a strong, cold addiction," he said. "I guarantee somebody knows somebody that's an addict. You're going to have that choice."
"Think hard," he advised the students. "There's so much more you can have without drugs."
He told them to focus on what really makes them happy and find a way to turn short-term goals into long-term goals.
Following his talk, Roe spent a few minutes speaking with some of the students who shared with him some of their own stories and feelings of guilt and anger.
"You don't get a second chance all of the time and I'm making the best of it," Roe said.

We have taken many, many trips with Ocean First and have had incredible experiences every time. OF has taken us to Belize, the Sea of Cortez, Fiji, Indonesia and Thailand, to name a few. The destinations have always been top notch and exceeded our expectations. On one particular trip, our fish ID wish list was met on the first dive. Thanks Amy for arranging that! In addition to top notch destinations, we've always had great trip escorts who clearly lay out what to expect while ensuring our travel to and from is well planned out. We can't wait for our next trip with OF!
"We went on the Thanksgiving trip to Saba with Sage and Gary and were impressed as always with how OFD operates. We have known Sage for about three years and have the highest level of comfort with him, and we enjoyed getting to know Gary. We can't say enough about how great the team at OFD is. It is always a pleasure to visit the shop, and we look forward to taking more trips with them. We also hope to return to Saba because of its unique charm and character, along with great diving."
- Antsy W
"Not only great destinations but the trip was worry-free and hassle-free thanks to the efforts of the staff at Oceans First. They arranged all the flights/hotels/layovers/dive operators with ease and professionalism. Would use them again without hesitation."
- Trip Advisor User
"Ocean First has a first class shop and the same for the staff. I recently went with them to Key Largo, FL for wreck diving on the Speigal Grove, Duane, Bibb and the Benwood. Dive guides/hosts were helpful and attentive without being overly so. Accomodatians were first class and very short walk to the dive boat, The Sea Deweller. Boat staff were first rate too! I have been scuba diving for more than 30 years and whether you are a novice or a seasoned tec diver I highly recommend Ocean First, their staff and dive trips."
"My husband and I have been training and diving with OFD since 2007 and 1994, respectively, and had a great trip (as usual) to the Galapagos in July 2012 with Kathy G (of OFD) as our trip leader. I'm picky (as friends will confirm) and Kathy and the OFD operation make impeccable arrangements and provide seamless execution. Kathy, of course, is our angel who attends to special situations with a kind heart and great diving, teaching, and personal skills. The details aren't important, but the generality is; she can be trusted in every situation in every way."

The Costa Rica trip last week was "one for the books." I feel like I hit the lottery with this group of people and most especially Amy.I have been diving for more than 15 years but my range of places has been very limited up until now, mostly Hawaii. This was actually my first organized trip. As a new resident of Colorado, I did not have much to go on in terms of which dive operation to try out first. From the first time I spoke with Amy over the phone, I felt comfortable and welcomed into the group. Amy was able to hook me up with another single woman to share accommodations with. She did a great job keeping the group informed/prepared prior to departure and worked very hard once we arrived in Costa Rica to be sure we were all taken care of. The group that attended this trip was exceptional but Amy deserves most of the credit for anything going smoothly. She is a fun, considerate, delightful person whom I plan to spend more time with in the future.
Thanks also to Ocean First Divers for picking up the tab for our Thanksgiving Day dinner and the cocktail party hosted by Amy. I guess the only other thing I can say is I can't wait to book the next trip with your operation....most likely it will be another trip with Amy!
Thanks again Graham for providing me with the best vacation I have had in years...."

Is it worth it to be 'the man'?
In a superstar-driven league like the National Basketball Association it is a big deal when a star player switches teams. Just before this young NBA season began, the Oklahoma City Thunder traded one of their "big three," James Harden, to the Houston Rockets. Harden is a burgeoning star and was one of the keys to the Thunder having the most wins in the league last season on their way to the NBA Finals, where they lost to the Miami Heat. Harden was also the third wheel on the team, a sub-star instead of the superstar. And on an NBA team, only so many stars get paid the big money and gain the most attention. So Oklahoma City traded him to a team willing to shell out the $85 million Harden's abilities demand. Now he is "the man" in Houston.
But he is the star on a team with significantly less chance for success. Instead of being in the running for a championship, the Rockets likely will be scrapping just to make the playoffs, unless Harden is truly transcendent. This situation is not unlike what faced Dwight Howard when he played for the Orlando Magic, or LeBron James when he was with the Cleveland Cavaliers. While both of them had some success with mediocre surrounding casts, they were ultimately throttled in their efforts to win a championship. And so both of them orchestrated their way to teams with significantly more talent. Howard joining a quest for a title with Kobe Bryant, Steve Nash, and the rest of the Los Angeles Lakers, while "King James" already has his championship ring after winning the NBA championship last spring alongside Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh in Miami.
When James and Howard switched teams there were grumblings about their motives. Isn't it cowardly to join forces with other superstars instead of seeking to be "the man" on a lesser team? No true superstar would be willing to share the spotlight to win a title. Larry Bird and Michael Jordan never would have abandoned their teams to shill for a championship.
And this brings us back to Harden and other players like him who so wanted the individual notoriety and reputation of stardom that they sacrificed opportunities to contribute to a team that could win an NBA title. While one can question the motivation of LeBron James or Dwight Howard, there is no denying this fact: Championships are irreplaceable either by money or reputation. Just ask Charles Barkley or Karl Malone. When the move for individual status and acclaim requires forsaking the very thing the game is played for—a championship—is it worth it?
We can learn something from watching these men, no matter what our life holds. Each of us "plays" our own game: our job, our family, our ministry. Each of us faces decisions whether to seek glory or seek the true success our position offers in relation to those who surround us. Often these clash with one another. So we must remember, it is never worth it to give up the true value of a job, relationship, or ministry for the sake of personal glory.

Tuesday a small miracle will happen in my tiny apartment.....ok it's a hovel.
After ten years of dial-up I will be getting Road Runner cable access for the computer, and it is only ten dollars per month more, at least for the first twelve months. So yes VV, you too can probably afford it.
Now my question. What guidelines do you folks have for picking a name for e-mail? My current e-mail name is klaatu51, which has some meaning for me but sounds a bit goofy for others.
So, any suggestions or guidelines?

ZODB: How to get and read objects from an undo information
This is useful for example if you have transactions that cause writes to the database and you don't know what has been written. First, identify the ID of the transaction that you're interested. In the Undo tab of Zope, inspect the checkbox for the transaction and copy the part that looks like an id from its value.
Then, in a zope debugging shell (started with bin/instance debug), I've done:
>>> import base64, cPickle >>> webtid = "QTY1MjhoaytpMVU9" # DB will be the "database", as represented in Zope. >>> db = app._p_jar.db() # Storage will be an instance of FileStorage. I don't think # it's possible to achieve this connected through ZEO. >>> storage = db.storage # This is the "real" transaction id >>> tid = base64.decodestring(webtid + "\n") # Now we'll get a "transaction position", a position # in the filestorage where the transaction begins >>> tpos = storage._txn_find(tid, True) # This will be the transaction header. This is the info that's # shown in the Undo UI. >>> th = storage._read_txn_header(tpos) >>> print th.status, th.descr, th.user # Now we get the "data position", the position in the zodb where # the objects of that transaction sit >>> pos = tpos + th.headerlen() # This will be the data header >>> dh = storage._read_data_header(pos) # we're very much interested in the oid >>> oid = dh.oid >>> pickle_data, tid = storage.load(oid) # heh, zodb is just a pickle store, you knew that, right? >>> print pickle_data >>> print cPickle.loads(pickle_data) # but it's easier to get the object using the zope machinery >>> obj = app._p_jar[oid] >>> print obj
The zope process needs to be configured with a FileStorage, not a ClientStorage (aka Zeo client).
The wrong way to sudo su, and the right way
I've never had a formal training on Linux. My knowledge comes from my experience working on it for the last 12 years, but some things I've just learned as simple recipes and never bother looking them up.
One such thing was changing users with sudo. I've been doing it as:
sudo su <user> -
Notice the dash at the end, which makes provides a "real" environment for <user>, just as if I would have logged in with that user, directly.
But this has ceased to work properly, apparently due to a bug fix in Linux TTY.
The error that I got was:
tibi@localhost:~$ sudo su zope - bash: cannot set terminal process group (-1): Inappropriate ioctl for device bash: no job control in this shell
The solution is to switch the position of the dash, to:
sudo su - <user>
Essential Firefox addons
Without these addons, Firefox may not be my favourite browser. With them, it's a beast that has no match among all other browsers. So, a top 10 of my favourite extensions:
- Vimperator: the essential plugin, makes Firefox behave in a modal manner similar to VIM. Includes many shortcuts similar to vim. Integrates an external editor (like GVim) with any textarea. My favourite things with it: really fast opening/closing of tabs, URL address copying and pasting, follow links, etc. Just awsome. The external editor thingy has no easy answer in Chrome, where you'd have to be running an http proxy, because addons are sandboxed and can't access the disk.
- TreeStyleTabs: another awesome plugin, with no match in the Chrome world, where sidebars are an external window.
- SessionManager: Firefox has a built-in, but SM is better
- LastPass: while I have Firefox sync enabled, it is better to be able to access those login information from my mobile devices.
- Auto Unload Tab: when you have 100+ tabs loaded, it's a requirement. Firefox has an automatic unload tab feature, but it can't be controlled and in my experience, it didn't work well.
- Ghostery + uBlock: get rid of annoying stuff
- Flashgot: I use it sometimes to make backups of video streams. For youtube I use youtube-dl.
- Clearly: easy saving content to Evernote
In the past, Firebug would have been at the front of this list, but right now it's buggy, slows down the browser (switching tabs), so it gets ignored in favour of Chromium.
A simple epub file renaming utility
I have a couple of epub files that have random names assigned to them, and I wanted to rename them based on their metadata, in the form Author - Title. Below is what I came up with:
#!/usr/bin/python from zipfile import ZipFile import lxml.etree import os.path import shutil import sys namespaces = { 'u':"urn:oasis:names:tc:opendocument:xmlns:container", 'xsi':"http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance", 'opf':"http://www.idpf.org/2007/opf", 'dcterms':"http://purl.org/dc/terms/", 'calibre':"http://calibre.kovidgoyal.net/2009/metadata", 'dc':"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/", } def main(): if len(sys.argv) != 2: print "Need a path." sys.exit(1) fpath = sys.argv[1] zip = ZipFile(fpath) meta = zip.read("META-INF/container.xml") e = lxml.etree.fromstring(meta) rootfile = e.xpath("/u:container/u:rootfiles/u:rootfile", namespaces=namespaces)[0] path = rootfile.get('full-path') opf = zip.read(path) e = lxml.etree.fromstring(opf) title = e.xpath("//dc:title", namespaces=namespaces)[0].text author = e.xpath("//dc:creator", namespaces=namespaces)[0].text base = os.path.dirname(fpath) new_name = "%s - %s.epub" % (author, title) shutil.move(fpath, os.path.join(base, new_name)) if __name__ == "__main__": main()
Getting the superclasses for a python object
Zope 2 (and Plone) persistent objects usually have an intricate inheritance tree. Finding what classes an object inherits can be a time consuming task, hunting through the various eggs for the relevant source code. Below is a little snippet that shows how to easily get the list of superclasses:
(Pdb) pp type(ff).mro() (<class 'plone.app.blob.subtypes.image.ExtensionBlobField'>, <class 'archetypes.schemaextender.field.TranslatableExtensionField'>, <class 'archetypes.schemaextender.field.BaseExtensionField'>, <class 'plone.app.blob.field.BlobField'>, <class 'Products.Archetypes.Field.ObjectField'>, <class 'Products.Archetypes.Field.Field'>, <class 'Products.Archetypes.Layer.DefaultLayerContainer'>, <class 'plone.app.blob.mixins.ImageFieldMixin'>, <class 'Products.Archetypes.Field.ImageField'>, <class 'Products.Archetypes.Field.FileField'>, <type 'ExtensionClass.Base'>, <type 'object'>)
Credit goes to the original post where I found this.
Version conflict: zc.buildout's version of madness
I'm not even trying to understand what happens, because it's aggravating to see buildouts fail like this:
While: Installing. Getting section zope2. Initializing section zope2. Installing recipe plone.recipe.zope2install. Error: There is a version conflict. We already have: setuptools 0.6c9
or, worse, this:
While: Installing. Getting section zope2. Initializing section zope2. Installing recipe plone.recipe.zope2install. Error: There is a version conflict. We already have: zc.buildout 1.5.2
Well, technically I know what happens: for example, zc.buildout is latest 2.0a1 now, but I've already installed 1.5.2 in my virtualenv (the bootstrap process failed hard, there are a tons of bugs there, I've had more failures in bootstrap then success, lately) and I had one product in my buildout which depended on zc.buildout, so it tried to pull the latest, only to get a version conflict.
I wish zc.buildout would behave more inteligently. Even specifying
prefer-final = true
didn't do much to solve my problems. The only way to solve the problem was to add the following to the buildout.cfg file:
[buildout] ... versions = versions [versions] zc.buildout =1.5.2 setuptools = 0.6c9
UPDATE: a better solution is to have:
[versions] zc.buildout = setuptools =
Building PIL with JPEG support on Ubuntu 11.04
I had problems building PIL with jpeg support on the latest Ubuntu. There are now two libjpeg libraries: one called libjpeg62 and one libjpeg8. Every guide on the net explaining how to compile PIL with jpeg support points to installing libjpeg62-dev. Needless to say, libjpeg8-dev is actually needed to properly build PIL. My reason for initially avoiding libjpeg8 is that it causes libsdlimage-dev to be uninstalled, so it looks like I'll have to juggle packages whenever I want to compile something that requires SDL.
Export/import users in and out of Plone
A dirty quick method of importing and exporting the users (only usernames and passwords) out of Plone, using 2 external methods. Code below, not much else to say.
import cPickle def export(self): pas = self.acl_users users = pas.source_users passwords = users._user_passwords result = dict(passwords) f = open('/tmp/out.blob', 'w') cPickle.dump(result, f) f.close() return "done" def import_users(self): pas = self.acl_users users = pas.source_users f = open('/tmp/out.blob') res = cPickle.load(f) f.close() for uid, pwd in res.items(): users.addUser(uid, uid, pwd) return "done"
Set product configuration globally in zope.conf
I have a Zope product that needs to write in a centralized location, across multiple instances. The classic Python solution would be to write a variable in a config.py module and read that location from the code, but this feels unelegant in an environment that uses zc.buildout for deployment. The solution I have found is, as follows:
In buildout.cfg, in the instance part definition, add:
zope-conf-additional = <environment> mylocation ${buildout:directory}/var/mylocation </environment>
Next, inside the product code I have:
from App.config import getConfiguration import os conf = getConfiguration() dest = conf.environment['mylocation'] if not os.path.exists(dest): os.mkdir(dest)
There were 2 things that I had to research for this task: reading the global zope configuration (that's done with App.config.getConfiguration()) and the fact that you can't add arbitrary key/values in zope.conf and have to use the <environment> section.
Running Products.Gloworm on Plone 4
For some reason, the TTW developer tools tend to get neglected in the Plone world. A valuable tools such as Clouseau has fallen out of favour and now Gloworm, the @@manage-viewlets replacement/complement won't run in Plone 4 (at least at version 1.0, which is the latest right now on PyPI).
Fortunately, Gloworm has been updated in svn trunk. To get the latest version you need to add it to sources (in buildout.cfg or develop.cfg):
[buildout] eggs += Products.Gloworm [sources] Products.Gloworm = svn https://weblion.psu.edu/svn/weblion/weblion/Products.Gloworm/trunk/
Next, run in the shell:
#bin/develop co Products.Gloworm #bin/develop rb
A pattern for programatically creating Plone content
I'm importing content from a legacy system to a new website that I'm doing with Plone 4 (wow! what an improvement, in speed and technology) and was looking at the existing documentation on how to programatically create new Plone content. The issue I'm having with the existing documentation is that it's incomplete. It won't give you automatically created ids, you'll have to manually call mutators if you don't know any better, etc.
This is what I have come up with (this code runs in a browser view):
_id = self.context.generateUniqueId("Document") _id = self.context.invokeFactory(type_name=type_name, id=_id) ob = self.context[_id] ob.edit( description = "text...", subject = ('tag1', 'tag2'), title = "some title...", ) ob._renameAfterCreation(check_auto_id=True) _id = ob.getId()
One thing I notice is that Plone 4 starts faster, comes with easily pluggable developer tools, and in general feels a lot more polished then any previous Plone releases. It's a good system to work with.
A miniguide to Dolmen packages
I'm finally starting a long-overdue project which I have decided to do with Dolmen. As usual, I start by studying its source code and the packages that are available for it. By itself it can will get me about 60% with the requirements for my project, so it's a pretty good starting base. I plan to also study and use some of the menhir.* packages, which are pretty good as generic CMS content types.

To download all the packages, I've ctrl+selected the git repositories names from http://gitweb.dolmen-project.org/, pasted them into a repositories.txt file and ran the following script:
import subprocess import os f = open('repositories.txt') for line in f.readlines(): git = line.strip() pkg = git if pkg.endswith('.git'): pkg = ".".join(pkg.split('.')[:-1]) if os.path.exists(pkg): subprocess.check_call(['git', 'pull'], cwd=pkg) else: subprocess.check_call(['git', 'clone', 'git://devel.dolmen-project.org/' + git])
Migrating content (folders) from Plone 3 to Plone 4 via zexp import
I had a need (and a problem) moving some content from a Zope 2.10/ Plone 3.3 instance to a Zope 2.12/Plone 4 instance. The path I have chosen was that of the least resistence, which for me was exporting the folder I was interested as a zexp file from the old instance and importing it in the new Plone instance. According to some members of the #plone IRC channel, this method of getting content from one zope instance to another is not possible, or at least not supported. I supposed that's correct, zexp import works best for moving content between identical zope instances, but, as they say, necessity is the mother of learning.
The issue is that the implementation of folders has changed from Plone 3 to 4 to use BTrees, which greatly improves performance. The problem is that, when viewing imported folders, I got the following traceback:
Traceback (innermost last): * Module ZPublisher.Publish, line 116, in publish * Module ZPublisher.BaseRequest, line 434, in traverse * Module Products.CMFCore.DynamicType, line 150, in __before_publishing_traverse__ * Module Products.CMFDynamicViewFTI.fti, line 215, in queryMethodID * Module Products.CMFDynamicViewFTI.fti, line 182, in defaultView * Module Products.CMFPlone.PloneTool, line 840, in browserDefault * Module Products.CMFPlone.PloneTool, line 708, in getDefaultPage * Module Products.CMFPlone.utils, line 81, in getDefaultPage * Module plone.app.layout.navigation.defaultpage, line 32, in getDefaultPage * Module plone.app.layout.navigation.defaultpage, line 75, in getDefaultPage * Module Products.BTreeFolder2.BTreeFolder2, line 337, in has_key AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'has_key'
The solution was to call @@migrate-btrees on the imported folder, which fixes that folder and makes it conform to the latest implementation.
One final note, the default Plone buildout doesn't have a folder called "import" anywhere in the buildout, so one needs to be created inside the "client home folder", which is the folder of your plone and buildout instance, the one that hosts the bin, parts and var folders.
Some issues with zc.recipe.egg's python option
I've recently had to integrate a script/package into a Plone 2.5 buildout that runs on top of Python 2.4. Due to that package's dependence of a sane imaplib (and the one in Python 2.4 is buggy), I had to run the script with python2.6. To make a script run on a different python, you need to do:
[myscript] recipe = zc.regipe.egg eggs = myegg IMAPClient python = python26
The python26 option is actually the name of a buildout part that configures the python executable path
[python26] python = /usr/bin/python26
Now the problems. I've had various buildouts fail with a message "Cannot find egg myegg". After a bit of effort, we managed to trace the cause to this problem:
First, the python path in the [python26] part was incorect. Second, even if it pointed to the proper binary, the -devel packages for that python needed to be installed.
Well, now I know. Hopefully I'll remember it for the next time when I'll encounter the problem.
Can you do this on your shiny Mac?
Probably you can, but you have never done it because you have a shiny interface for everything. I'm talking about this discovery of mine:
svn diff | kompare -
What it does is to take the output from svn diff and pipe it into Kompare, a merge/diff utility from the KDE Project. I can do this from the command line, straight from the directory that I'm in, and bang! I get a nice graphical overview, complete with the tree structure that I can navigate to see what I'm about to commit. Honestly, this little command gets me excited everytime I run it.
Generating products outside of the Products.* namespace with ArchGenXML
I'm a die hard in regards to ArchGenXML usage. The number of things to know about when creating new content types for Plone is just too high. Package structure, Zope package registration, content types registration, QuickInstaller registration, GenericSetup profiles, skins registration, workflows, etc. I can go in and do changes to the code, and add to it, but generating it from scratch is a gigantic task, especially for my use case, where I need to start a new project with about 7 content types.
Now to the problem: ArchGenXML assumes (and hardcodes in its templates) the Products.* prefix for your package. I don't have any problems with it, but my employer uses a different package structure so for uniformity I need to follow their standards. 15 minutes of poking and changing through agx enabled me to change it so it would generate GS xml files with the proper namespace (based on a new model level TGV named "namespace" that I have created). After assessing the difficulty of the task and being under time pressure, I've decided to go the dumb route, which I'm documenting below:
My generation script is something like this:
./archgenxml -c archgenxml.cfg myproduct.zuml #rename Products.myproduct to ns.myproduct find myproduct/* -type f -print | xargs sed -i 's/Products\.myproduct/ns\.myproduct/g' #in the xml type profiles, replace myproduct by ns.myproduct find myproduct/* -type f -print | xargs sed -i 's/>myproduct</>ns\.myproduct</g' #in the profiles.zcml, rename the profile to ns.myproduct find myproduct/* -type f -print | xargs sed -i 's/title=\"myproduct\"/title=\"ns\.myproduct\"/g'
Notice the sed lines, which change the source code to point to "ns.myproduct" instead of "Products.myproduct". Now there's just two more problems, which are actually AGX bugs:
- the FilesystemDirectoryViews registered for the skin are incorect, so you'll need to insert this in ns/myproduct/__init__.py
from Products.CMFCore import utils from Globals import package_home from os.path import dirname ppath = utils.ProductsPath utils.ProductsPath.append(dirname(package_home(product_globals))) DirectoryView.registerDirectory('skins', product_globals) utils.ProductsPath = ppath
- trying to get AGX to output the code inside a two level deep folder doesn't work (it crashes), so you'll need to move this script file and the model just above the "myproduct" folder, inside the "ns" namespace.
That's about it. Hopefully I'll find the time to fix the two bugs and add the namespace improvement in the next week. Still need to do the review for Plone for Education, which I have received for free from the publisher.
Another cause for buildout failures: system distributed Python
Always compile your own! One day I'll even remember that...
I've had a buildout bootstrap process failure, this time a weird one, perhaps I should document the bug and report it.
The latest Ubuntu version which I have installed (Lucid Lynx) comes with a package called python-pkg-resources, which packages pkg_resources, which used to be available only through the setuptools distribution. Buildout's bootstrap.py tries to guess if Setuptools or Distribute are installed by checking the availability of pkg_resources; by guessing wrong it all comes to a crash at the end.
I'm not very interested in debugging these types of problems anymore. Distribution/packaging tools should just work. I want to focus on my work, not debug the toolchain. No more corner cases or whatver. So I'm gonna compile separate Pythons in the future, especially when dealing with older Zope/Plones.
Dear PyPi uploaders: don't use a download URL, upload your package instead!
Pypi's biggest mistake: allowing package entries without any upload
I think this is the Python Index biggest mistake, the one which makes it unreliable for serious development environments: exposing package entries with no real package files and just a download URL. To see what I'm talking about, just examine the PyPI records for BeautifulSoup or IPython, packages that are very common in buildouts. As soon as the author and publisher of that package has a hosting problem, the developer that uses that package also has a problem. Buildouts will completely fail and this will cause dead times and frustration for the developers.
Yes, there are a couple of PyPi mirrors, but they only mirror files hosted by PyPi. The central PyPi site will probably have better performance and availability then what individual groups and developers can provide and it's always easier to mirror one single website than many, so there's no shame or loss of pride in using the PyPi to host your files. Please do so!
Test if developer mode is set in Zope 3 and Grok
I've started an application that uses Dolmen, a lightweight CMS built on top of Grok, and I want to be able to "rollup" the megrok.resource files based on the devmode setting that was set in the zope.conf file. After a bit of digging, I came up with this code that tells me the current devmode setting for the running instance:
from zope.app.applicationcontrol.applicationcontrol import applicationController from zope.app.applicationcontrol.interfaces import IRuntimeInfo def get_debug_mode(): """Returns the devmode setting for a running zope instance""" rti = IRuntimeInfo(applicationController) return rti.getDeveloperMode() == "On"
A "don't do" for internationalizing Django templates
I'm internationalizing a Pinax website and I've encountered this piece of code in a template:
<input type="submit" value="{% trans "invite" %}"/> {% blocktrans %}{{ other_user }} to be a friend.{% endblocktrans %}
The message ids for this code would be two separate blocks: "invite" and " %{other_user}s to be a friend". Both offer very little in terms of context and make the translators job difficult. Correct, in my point of view, would be the more convoluted form of:
{% blocktrans %} <input type="submit" value="invite"/> {{ other_user }} to be a friend. {% endblocktrans %}
This implies that the translators know enough HTML to notice that the value attribute needs to be translated, but the end result is a lot more flexible and provides real context to them.
TL;DR: don't split paragraphs into separate translation units. It's a NO-NO.
UPDATE: I have found what is probably the worst example of how to create a translatable template. Remember, don't assume the English language resembles anything like another language.
{% trans "edited by user" %} {{ obj.editor.username }} {% trans "at"%} {{ obj.modified|date:"H:i" }}
This should be done this way:
{% blocktrans with obj.editor.username as editor_username and obj.modified|date:"H:i" as obj_modified edited by user {{ editor_username }} at {{ obj_modified }} {% endblocktrans %}

State 14th-Ranked Mt. SAC Downs Men's Basketball
The Pasadena City College men's basketball team opened South Coast Conference play Wednesday with a 71-56 loss at state No. 14-ranked Mt. San Antonio. The unranked Lancers had their overall record drop back to .500 at 8-8.
After surpassing both the total win marks of the previous two seasons by mid-December, PCC lost its third straight game. The Lancers continue to lead the five SCC North Division teams in overall defense at 66 points allowed per contest. However, those numbers took a hit with winter holiday road non-conference losses at LA Pierce, 88-73, on Dec. 23, and at No. 4-ranked Mt. San Jacinto, 88-47, played Dec. 30.
At Mt. SAC, PCC led just once at 10-8 on a Givon Crump jumper. The Mounties used a 12-4 run to take a 35-25 halftime lead. The Lancers could not mount a rally over the final 20 minutes. The team's loose ball handling resulted in 29 turnovers. On the plus side, Pasadena held high-scoring Mt. SAC to 13 points below its season average.
Crump, the Lancers' sophomore stalwart shooter (pictured), led all scorers with 20 points and added eight rebounds plus six assists. The only other PCC double digit scorer was sophomore guard Jerrick Thomas with 10 points (along with four assists and three steals). The seven freshmen who played combined to score just 26 points. Center Lorelle Martin contributed five points and a team-best 10 rebounds.
The Mounties (10-5) had five players reach double figures as Corey Allen tallied a team-high 18 points. Mt. SAC made 22 of 33 free throws while PCC converted 8-for-15 at the line (Crump was 7-of-8).
Pasadena is looking to win its first home conference game since 2009 when it hosts LA Trade Tech Friday, Jan. 6. Tip-off is 7 p.m. at Hutto-Patterson Gymnasium.

Jersey Shore
Was Pregnant Snooki Healthy While Filming Jersey Shore Season 6?
A lot of fans were concerned when Snooki decided to take part in Jersey Shore Season 6 despite having a little guido in the oven. Yes, she lived in her own house, but even so, Jersey Shore isn't exactly the number one doctor-recommended location for rest and relaxation. Between the partying, the fighting, and the general stress of filming reality TV, it seems like a risky environment for a pregnant woman.
But relax, guys. Vinny told OK! that Snooki survived the season in tip-top shape.
"Snooki was the healthiest out of everybody," Vinny assured OK! "She was the most in shape out of everybody, because she was so healthy." And given how devoted the cast is to GTLing, that's saying something.
But don't worry. Despite her life changes, Snooki hasn't lost her special spark, and neither has anyone else. Vinny explained that the dynamics were "exactly the same," as always, "besides the personal things that had to change," like Snooki and The Situation not drinking.
And speaking of the newly sober Sitch, Vinny said it was great to see him doing well. In fact, he was almost like a new person. "We always joke around with Mike, like, 'Hey, bro, nice to meet you.'"
For more from Vinny, read the whole interview here.

I'm in!

@calbasi: that would actually be a very nice twist for the game - if the races would all the time be random!
I vote for this :)
how can I find curtistheiii to schedule our games - haven't seen him posting anything here.
link to 1st game between myself & curthistheiii:
win conditions say that game ends if one player misses a turn. My opponent dropped, does that mean the game is over or not? :)
wow, i'm the #1 seed? OK maybe based on normal game scores but definitely not 1on1 blitz games :) so I guess everyone's out to get me?
Yellowbrick and i are on 13151 dang webmines
the race selection is a serious case of rock-paper-scissors, eh? :)
me vs curtistheiii round 2:
got even a nice visiting meteor (flying rock, not the blockade runner) to my HW turn 5, but that didn't stop the wheels in motion:)
@curthistheiii as coldsteel pointed out don't be discouraged, you'll learn the quirks of the game only by playing and I had a little more games behind me than you.
warthog loses to yellowbrick 0-1 good game never could beat those webs game #3
if you lose your out right?
I'll be right there My apollogies I left for work when i lost gtg for the morning to Start
game 2
Thanks Crackpot
Next game!
Good game I never seemed to recover once your webs are down at least i stole some rubies lol
yellowbrick 2 -warthog44 -0 thanks ill be in better next time
Great Games Gymfrog
I dont know how to post the winner of the round it was Thrawn 2 (w) - 0 (l).
The bug has finally been fixed. Here's more information from the site itself:
Sorry to keep you all waiting. Welcome to jobo vs. coldsteel Game 2.
In the left corner, we have jobo of the Crystalline.In the right corner, we have coldsteel of the Feds.
Ready? Fight!!!
After verifying the scope of a recent outage, I have decided that it is safest to freeze the entire tournament until the bug has been resolved.
Update: It has been discovered that Tow Capturing also does not work. It may take a while before the development team can fix both of these issues.
Still going?

HURRELLCANE HITS THE COAST | The Gold Coast Titans have confirmed the signing of former Vodafone War...
41 hours ago - 1 Likes
Injured fullback Darren Lockyer says the Brisbane Broncos are hanging tough despite a post-Origin slide down the NRL ladder.
The Broncos, who fell to fifth on a cluttered NRL table following the weekend's 20-10 loss to Cronulla, face a crunch match against third-place Penrith at Suncorp Stadium on Friday night.
A loss to the Panthers - unlucky losers to St George-Illawarra at the weekend - would put them under the pump with a difficult run to the finals against the Wests Tigers (home), the Warriors (away), Parramatta (home) and St George-Illawarra (home).
Brisbane would normally fancy their prospects with four of their last five games at home.
But since leaving ANZ Stadium in June, a ground where they boasted an 80 per cent win rate, they've lost three of their four NRL games at Suncorp Stadium to Newcastle, the Bulldogs and the Sea Eagles.
Coach Wayne Bennett conceded the Broncos were in a form "trough" after their Toyota Park ambush -- the club's fourth defeat in five games.
But Lockyer said the players were giving their best against sides which had performed "above their form".
Brisbane would have budgeted on two premiership points against both Manly and Cronulla but they came up empty handed.
A win against either would have had them in a share of the competition lead with Roosters, Raider and Panthers, all on 30 points.
Wins in both games would have shot them to the top of the ladder.
Instead they are now fighting off late season charges by the Bulldogs, Warriors, Eels and Dragons.
"I guess the confidence can get a bit dented after a couple of losses like that, but the boys are toughing it out," said Lockyer, who'll begin running on his injured ankle next week.
"We've lost a couple of games (against Manly and Cronulla) to teams who've played above themselves.
"The worst thing we can do now is start looking at the (points) table.
"We just have to start playing good footy and things will look after themselves."
Lockyer rated himself a 50-50 chance of making an eagerly awaited comeback against the Tigers next weekend.
He and skipper Gorden Tallis will be spectators against the Panthers, who were victims of a few tough video referring calls in their loss to St George-Illawarra.
Penrith's defence of their try-line is suspect but their small-man attack is magnificent.
Fullback Rhys Wesser in particular will be motivated to show Bennett why he should have played for Queensland in the recent Origin series.
Wesser, Preston Campbell, Ryan Girdler and Luke Rooney are all dangerous with the football while former Bronco hooker Luke Priddis is playing terrific football working closely with halfback Craig Gower around the rucks.
The sight of utility Casey McGuire running at training after aggravating a shoulder injury was good news for Brisbane, battling a heavy injury toll.
Lanky winger Scott Minto is still three weeks away from returning from an ankle injury, Brett Seymour is on crutches, and Origin forward Tonie Carroll continues to struggle with a hamstring problem.

So much hipe about Jamacian black castor oil, so many diluted products on the market. Where can I get a real good quality of "Black castor oil"?
Thanks in Advance

I had breast cancer 2 yrs ago and they found it in 1 lympnode, what should I use to try to help prevent it from coming back.
Funny you should ask. Purelife herbs has just started carrying their brand of castor oil. All natural, no additives.
You can find it in our store on line.
Hi Norma,
There is a whole life style change.Eating habits,(more natural foods instead of processed food.Very little or no anti-perspirant.
No sugar(it fuels cancer).
Take indole 3- carbinol (found in health food stores)
Take super green food or juice lots of veggies
drink soursop tea/guinea hen tea.
Excercise daily.

Total income of the company, however, was up 9.3 per cent at Rs 20,299.5 crore for the reported quarter as against Rs 18,570.3 crore in the same period last fiscal.
