Live streaming coverage of Election Day 2014 from Newton County's Board of Election conference room.
Perdue trumpets his business experience to focus on economy
Newton County's voter turnout for Tuesday's Primary Election was the lowest it's been since at least 2008, as 18.45 percent of the county's 55,141 active, registered voters cast ballots.
Sonya Hunte is contesting Newton County's longest serving commissioner, incumbent J.C. Henderson, for the District 4 Board of Commissioners seat on the Democratic side of the 2014 election.
The Covington News and Newton Conservative Liberty Alliance, a local conservative group, are hosting the final of their three primary forums, this one for the crowded state school superintendent seat, at 7 p.m., tonight at Peachtree Academy's Covington campus, 14101 U.S. Highway 278.
With U.S. Rep. Paul Broun, R-Athens, deciding to seek Georgia's open U.S. Senate seat, a crowded field of Republicans is lining up to take his 10th district seat, which represents the eastern half of Newton County.
The slate of county, state and federal candidates seeking office in Georgia in 2014 is set after qualifying ended noon Friday, and Newton County voters may experience a few cases of déjà vu, in addition to seeing some new candidates entering the scene.
The slate of local, state and federal candidates seeking office in Georgia is set after qualifying ended at noon today. Check out the full list of races involving Newton County below. (A bolded "P" by the seat means there will be a contested primary election on May 20.)
With the May 20 Primary seemingly around the corner, and early voting beginning April 28, state and local candidates are working to sway voters.
One of Newton County's most important state legislative seats is up for grabs this year, and The Covington News and Newton Conservative Liberty Alliance are hosting a forum tonight for the public.
In an unusual race that saw two sitting Mansfield council members running against each other, Post 4 incumbent Councilwoman Lisa Dunn defeated Councilman Larry Cummins, who switched seats to run against Dunn.
This is the last week for early voting for council seat races in Covington and Mansfield; the election is Nov. 5 at each respective city's town hall.

Back in the mid to late 19th century, Welsh dairies were a common sight in London.
But with the rise of general stores, corner shops and eventually supermarkets, people began going elsewhere for their milk, and a once thriving industry has almost become a thing of the past.
But Morgan's Dairy is an exception to the rule, and this week the family-run business is settling in to its new, larger headquarters in Tolworth, having left its spiritual home in Fulham after 120 years.
The firm - one of the last independent Welsh dairy companies in London - has moved to Red Lion Business Centre, in Red Lion Road, to not only accommodate a growing demand for its products but to bring the business closer to the family's homes in Worcester Park, Tolworth and Ewell.
Gareth Morgan, who runs the dairy with brother Geraint, son Hywel and Geraint's daughter Lara, said: "We're getting bigger, we ran out of room in Fulham and we had to move.
"This is perfect for us. It's bigger, it's cheaper than central London, and it's closer to where we all live.
"We serve a lot of coffee bars, offices, restaurants, independent schools and state school contracts.
"There's plenty of those in Kingston and we'll be looking to pick up a few more customers from here."
Welsh dairies became popular in London in the 19th century, as farmers from Wales set up shops in the capital instead of traveling back and forth.
Many stores kept cows on site in order to provide fresh milk every day, as well as cheese and butter.
By the beginning of the 20th century, it is estimated that there were more than 700 Welsh dairies in London.
Morgan's Dairy is one of the few surviving Welsh dairies in London
The origins of Morgan's Dairy date back to 1894 and Aspenlea Road in Fulham.
In 1947, Mair and Iuean Morgan bought a diary company from a family member, renaming it Morgan's Dairy.
The couple's son Gareth joined the business in 1969, with Geraint following in 1975 before the siblings took over from their parents.
Today, very few Welsh dairies in London remain.
It is because of that that Morgan's Dairy was profiled in a 2006 documentary series by Madness frontman Suggs called Disappearing London, which celebrated the capital's endangered and under-appreciated buildings, businesses and past times.
On the company's enduring success, Mr Morgan, 62, said: "We make sure we look after our customers – that's what we're all about.
"We're a small family business and if you want a good service at a reasonable price, we're your boys."
For more information, call Morgan's Dairy on 020 7385 7715 or 020 8391 5511, email firstname.lastname@example.com or visit the website.

In this issue of Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine, Huang and colleagues investigated the effectiveness of bright light exposure in shift working nurses on an evening or night shift schedule.1 Nurses working in a hospital were divided in two groups, where the treatment group received bright light of 7,000-10,000 lux for 30 minutes at about 8 pm (evening shift) or at about 11:30 pm (night shift), whereas the control group did not receive any light treatment. Both groups were instructed to wear dark sunglasses to avoid outdoor light after work and before sleep. The study period was 10-14 days. The outcome measures were well-validated self-report instruments: Insomnia Severity Index (ISI) and Hospital Anxiety and Depression scale (HADS). The results showed that the treatment group impressively improved sleep. Furthermore, the scores on the anxiety and depression scale decreased significantly. No effects were seen in the control group.
Many shift workers suffer from poor sleep and sleepiness. The most afflicted workers may be diagnosed with shift work disorder (SWD), a circadian rhythm sleep disorder, characterized by a complaint of insomnia or excessive sleepiness that is temporally associated with a recurring work schedule that overlaps the usual time for sleep over the course of at least one month.2 In nurses, the prevalence of SWD varies according to work schedule, but may be as high as 44% among nurses involved in night shifts.3 On the other hand, it may be surprising that the majority of shift workers, also those involved in night work, do not report insomnia or excessive sleepiness. In addition to poor sleep and sleepiness, some studies show that night workers are at increased risk of anxiety/depression.4
Sleep is regulated by an interaction between homeostatic, circadian, and behavioral factors.5 Shift work, especially when night work is part of the schedule, results in a misalignment between the endogenous circadian timing system and the external 24-h environment. The treatment options for circadian rhythm sleep disorders comprise bright light treatment and exogenous melatonin administration. Both these chronobiotics need to be timed according to specific phase-response curves to have the wanted effect. For instance, bright light before the minimum (nadir) of the core body temperature will phase delay the circa-dian rhythm, whereas bright light after nadir produces a phase advance.5 This means that incorrectly timed bright light will likely worsen sleep and sleepiness complaints. Nadir is usually located about 1 to 2 hours before the habitual wake-up time.
In the study by Huang and colleagues,1 the timing of treatment was appropriate, although even better results may have been expected if bright light had been timed according to the nurses' individual circadian rhythms.
The findings presented in the study by Huang and coworkers were surprisingly strong, and more impressive than seen following bright light treatment in, for instance, night workers in the petroleum industry.6 One reason may be that all participants in the study by Huang et al. had moderate to severe insomnia before treatment, whereas other studies may include participants with fewer complaints. However, a reduction in ISI score from 17.9 to 5.7 following treatment, compared to no effect in the control group, is amazing. In fact, 80% of the nurses did not have insomnia following treatment, whereas all nurses in the control group still met the criteria for insomnia. Similarly, the HADS scores were clearly reduced in the treatment group. It was somewhat surprising that light attenuation following work and before sleep (control group) had no effect. Other studies have shown that such an approach could help night workers with circadian adaptation.7
One of the major take home messages from the Huang et al. study is that such a treatment approach is relatively easy to implement into clinical practice. Bright light exposure of 30 minutes duration seems feasible in the workplace. Furthermore, there were few inclusion/exclusion criteria, suggesting that the findings may generalize to large groups of nurses working evening and/or night shifts. The improvements in sleep and psychological health may also have large consequences in terms of higher productivity, reduced risk of accidents/errors at work, as well as reduced sickness absence.
Dr. Bjorvatn has participated in speaking engagements for GlaxoSmithKline, Nycomed, ResMed, Confex, and Medi3. Dr. Waage has indicated no financial conflicts of interest.

NQ Vul was discovered visually by the English amateur astronomer George Alcock on 1976 October 21 at a magnitude of 6.5 (AAVSO Alert Notices 9, 10, 12, 13). A precusor to the event was seen on photographic plates taken 26 hours before discovery by the Sternberg State Astronomical Institute in Moscow (Carroll 1977).
Quick Links:
V4334 SGR is well known as "Sakurai's Object". It was discovered as a variable on February 20, 1996 by Yukio Sakurai of Japan while he was looking for comets. (Imagine the numbers of variables discovered this way!) At the time, it was a new 12th magnitude star thought to be a novae. But pretty soon it was realized things were not quite so simple.

Did you know?
The Gariep is the longest river in South Africa with a total length of 2 200 km.
Since time immemorial, the Green Kalahari, Northern Cape, has drawn people to its vast, pure landscape, with the life-force of the Gariep (Orange) river flowing through its midst. The region's earliest inhabitants, the San, were later joined by Nama and Koranna people, followed by European settlers who cultivated the Green Kalahari's fertile plains. Today, this stretch of river is flanked by vineyards and thriving animal and plant life.
Enter the Green Kalahari, South Africa's green desert, via Upington. This prosperous town on the main road to Namibia is within easy reach of Spitskop Nature Reserve, Augrabies Falls, and Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park. Upington offers boating, fishing, adventure sports and South Africa's largest wine co-operative, the Orange River Wine Cellars.
Spitskop Nature Reserve lies just outside Upington. Herds of antelope roam its sandy flats, which are carpeted with flowers every year with the arrival of the summer rains. Good gravel roads ensure comfortable driving and game-viewing; or you can take one of three hiking trails for a more intimate experience of the land.
Some 120km west of Upington, lies Augrabies Falls National Park, a gem among Green Kalahari attractions. Here, South Africa's greatest waterfall thunders 60 metres down into a gorge 240m deep and 18km long. A place of extreme temperatures, the park hosts uniquely adapted animals such as mongoose, dassie, and the Cape clawless otter. The rare black rhino also lives here.
Keep on going 250km from Upington to be rewarded with the finest game-viewing in the Green Kalahari, Northern Cape. Some 3.6 million hectares large, the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park is one of the few places big enough to support large-scale migration and predation. Red sand dunes, sparse vegetation and dry riverbeds showcase antelope such as blue wildebeest, springbok, gemsbok and eland and predators such as hyena, cheetah, leopard and black-maned lion, not to mention birds of prey. Experience space and landscapes that will reach deep inside your soul and take the photos of a lifetime.

Hello,Ok I have the drag and drop thing working, and its doing what I expected it to. My question is after I move the box can I get the div id values based on the new order?IE: If I drag a box to the top from the bottom, I want to get and store the new postion based on an array of div id's

Draggable doesn't change their ordering in the DOM tree, it just gives them a relative position instead, so it's difficult to programmatically determine their relationship to each other.You would want to also make use of droppable so that when they are dropped, you can more easily get their updated relationships with each other.
Well I went with sortable which works how I was hoping.
opacity: 0.6,
update: function(event, ui) {
var info = $(this).sortable("serialize");
$( "#main" ).disableSelection();
The problem is that I am building a widget type system, the widgets are variable widths and heights.
The dimensions are fixed sort of based on css classes ie:.cols_1{width:200px;}.cols_2{width:400px}
I am sure you know actually sortng and aligning something like this is a pain in the butt if not impossible, any suggestions as to how I can fill in the blanks? I need to store the postion in a databse so the next time a user logs in it will be the same
When a sortable item is dropped, the DOM updates with the new position of the items. So if each item is uniquely identified, you can use something like this to retrieve the id's
$('selector for items').toArray().map(function (el) {
return el.id;
That will give you an array of id attributes that you can then use JSON.stringify() on and pass that info to the database.
I was using this function to get the array var info = $(this).sortable("serialize");
but did you look at the image? I cant figure out how to get the divs to align next to each other. The box's are dynamic based on user choice and the sizes are dynamic based on user choice. In the omage I am trying to get the blue and yellow box to float up to atleast the the bottom of the boxes above them
That sounds like a job for CSS, and potentially for advice from the css forum
I was worried you would say that, I already started gathering the relative position after switching back to draggable

I almost forgot these guys exist
I will wait patiently indeed and there's no need for me to rush keep updating to the latest IOS software. Thinking that it will be more stable once you update to the latest version. Anyways, I love iOS7 a lot and I will not be updating to anymore version until MuscleNerd release the JB for it. Can't wait and patiently waiting . Without these guys my iPhone would be so simple and plain.....
I haven't had a need for Jailbreak news for the lack of necessity to Jailbreak. I almost forgot that it was even being worked on because of that. I most likely will be keeping up-to-date as updates release as I no longer feel a real need to Jailbreak. Mayhaps after 7.1 drops I will Jailbreak but mayhaps not.
7.0.4, ugh. Wish I could PM these guys

HOUSTON - Deputies are looking for a man they said stole a car then robbed a dollar store.
Harris County sheriff's deputies said the man's day of crime began with a carjacking around 3:30 a.m. Thursday. Deputies said he stole a car from an apartment complex in the 15000 block of Ella.
Once he had wheels, investigators said the robber made his way to the Dollar General store in the 2900 block of Hirschfield near Aldine Westfield, which is about 10 miles away.
Wearing a mask, detectives said the robber stormed into the store and held up one of the cashiers as others looked on in fear.
Shapiro Meadows, a store employee, said he was working on something in the back office of the store when one of the customers darted in and told him there was a thief robbing it.
"I ran out the back. They were unloading their truck and I called the police," Shapiro said.
By the time he made it to a nearby HEB, investigators said. The crook had grabbed the cash from the register and was long gone, officials said.
"They said he had a T-shirt over his head and had gloves on him," Shapiro said.
While the victims couldn't see his face, they said they did see the maroon car he got away in. Investigators said the car is a 2002 maroon Saturn with Texas license plate number RZS-302.
Anyone with information is asked to give Crime Stoppers a call at 713-222-TIPS (8477).

A Mariner's ChanceProbability puzzles require you to weigh all the possibilities and pick the most likely outcome.
An old wartime story describes a sailor who, during a pitched battle, put his head through the hole made in the side of his ship by an enemy shell. His theory was that the odds of another shell landing in exactly the same spot should be extremely low.
Was his reasoning correct?
AnswerNo. The chance of an unlikely event happening twice is fairly low, but the sailor's safety can't be calculated just by looking at the random nature of another shot landing in that hole. First, the destination of a shell is not entirely random--the guns are being aimed, and gunners who succeed with one shot may try again in the same direction. Second, each time a random phenomenon occurs, the probability of the same thing happening again is exactly the same. So, even if the guns weren't being aimed, the spot is just as likely to be hit as any other.

Sponsor the Formation of Ukrainian Catholic Seminarians
Tuesday, January 21, 2014
Project Code: 438-02-79
In 1946, the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church in the country was forcibly dissolved by the communists. Believers were bloodily persecuted, and for over 40 years the Ukrainian Catholic Church, which is in communion with Rome, was able to exist only in the underground. Finally, in 1990, the Ukrainian Catholic Church was at last able to emerge from the catacombs again.In 1993, the seminary in Ternopil was once more able to officially resume its activities. Thanks to financial support, among others from ACN, it was possible to build up a seminary, named in memory of the great Cardinal Confessor, Josyf Slipyj, who endured 18 years imprisonment under the communists and finally died in exile in 1984. He was also a friend of ACN founder Father Werenfried, who did everything possible to help and support the Ukrainian Catholic Church in the country throughout the time of persecution.Today, there are 143 seminarians studying in the Ternopil seminary, which not only serves the local diocese but also those seminarians from other dioceses that do not have their own seminary. The young men receive an excellent academic formation. As well, the seminarians are encouraged to become familiar with everyday pastoral work through a series of practical training sessions and tasks, which help them to gain direct experience of the life and problems of ordinary people. The seminarians work with children and young people, helping them both in play and in prayer to draw nearer to Jesus. They not only gain practical experience in the parish apostolate and in dealing with other people, but also provide a vital service. For in many regions, where the Church is still only in its beginnings, the few priests who are available are so overstretched that they simply do not have the time for such intensive ministry among all the groups of the faithful. In this way the seminarians are already serving the faithful today where one day, after completing their training, they will fill a yet more urgent need as priests.ACN is helping the seminary in its work with a contribution of $680 per seminarian, per year. Will you now give to support these seminarians in Ukraine? We are sure they will remember you in their grateful prayers.Aid to the Church in Need commits to invest your funds where they will have the greatest impact for the Church that we serve. Funds donated to Aid to the Church in Need's projects will be used towards the greatest need in our programs to help keep the Faith alive.

DC: The New Frontier, Vol. 1
Many of the most famous comic book superheroes were strutting their stuff in the politically-charged 1950s, but for the most part you'd never have known it. Back then, comics were still child's play, and what 11-year old cared how Wonder Woman would react to the mistreatment of female prisoners during one of the "police actions" in southeast Asia? Darwyn Cooke offers that and more in The New Frontier, anchored by vibrant Jet/Space Age-influenced art and a series of interlocking and completely satisfying tales -- including the subtle and spectacular retelling of two well-known origin stories. Cooke shows us some old friends in a new light while giving a note-perfect rendition of the Kennedy-era struggle between post-WWII disillusionment and hope for the future. Note: This is volume one of a two-volume series

Product Description
After breaking my back on a motorbike covering the 2010 Cape Epic, I have a bit of leverage with the organisers. So much so that they willingly provide a helicopter for all eight days of racing, for me to play the photographic version of Apocalypse Now. Minutes prior to this I had been shooting above the singletrack in the trees, struggling to get a definitive shot of singletrack & riders due to the dense foliage. Then I remembered we were coming up on some open trails – knowledge I had from riding at Oak Valley a while back. So we waited for about two minutes in the air above the track for Christoph Sauser and Burry Stander to come into shot. The shot with just the two of them on the singletrack was good – but when the TV helicopter came into the bottom of the frame I knew it was just going to get better. Hanging out of the helicopter – there are no doors for better shooting – and looking through the viewfinder trying to direct the pilot – up, down, backwards forwards, left right, nose back, spin round etc. – gets a bit tricky compared to just shuffling your GoreTex boots in the mud of a World Cup … but I think you'll agree the end result is worth it

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 25/1/2013 (1668 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Economics isn't the most exciting subject.
Because of the difficulty of relating abstract economic concepts to everyday life, economists have typically relied on examples such as the trade-off between guns and butter to illustrate core economic concepts.
While such examples bring economic concepts down to the ground, they often aren't particularly interesting.
Recognizing this, University of British Columbia economics professor Marina Adshade turned to a subject that will pique the attention of many economics students: sex. In Dollars and Sex, Adshade uses everything from prostitution to online dating to demonstrate how economics work in practice. The result is a book that is both provocative, and informative.
While Adshade's book is not a substitute for a first-year econ textbook, it is a wonderful primer on economics that should appeal to lay readers as well as professional economists.
Economics influences almost all human behaviour. Adshade illustrates how economic factors influence broad social trends, and how those trends influence individual behaviour.
For instance, she delves into prickly subjects such as the impact of the economy on divorce rates (with surprising results), and how lipstick sales are affected by economic conditions.
She also speculates on how future technological advances may affect infectious disease, and birth rates. Her speculation often seems counter-intuitive at first glance, but makes sense upon explanation.
In this she has clearly taken a page from the 2005 American bestseller Freakonomics, by University of Chicago economist Steven Levitt and New York Times journalist Stephen J. Dubner.
Social phenomena are rarely as simple as one might hope, Adshade notes. Dating is a major component of her book. Economists view dating as a market like any other.
Several parties offer varying services that are valued at varying levels by other parties. Adshade recognizes the humour in such a clinical analysis of relationships but demonstrates the value in this approach.
The most compelling analytical tool used to analyze the dating market comes from online dating sites. Because people freely share information, and express their preferences in ways that can be quantified more easily through only dating sites, it gives economists data to infer how much people care about factors such as income, education, and race (the latter providing the most surprising results).
An interesting dynamic that is introduced into the dating model is spatial. Dating markets in small towns are less efficient than those in large cities because the odds of meeting someone with one's own specific preferences are lower when there are fewer people available to date.
While the Internet has mitigated this dynamic to an extent by increasing the possibility of dating outside of one's own town, this book serves as yet another reminder that the world isn't flat. Place still matters.
Adshade points out that there is another sexual market (aside from prostitution) -- the market within a relationship. Both partners bring value to a relationship, and divide up responsibilities.
She uses the theory of comparative advantage to examine how families divvy up household chores, and make more substantial decisions about work and child rearing. It seems odd to think of everyday interactions between mates as exchanges, but they often do mimic market transactions.
In sex, as in all things, incentives matter. Adshade illustrates this point by using concepts that are very relatable, and of great interest to those who are either in the dating market, have children in (or soon to be in) the dating market, or who may return to that market in the near future.
While its value as a self-help book is less than its value as a companion to an introductory economics textbook, it will no doubt cause many readers to see sex and dating through a new lens.
Demonstrating how economic principles apply to the reader's most primal needs could help to reinforce the validity of economic logic, in a way that discussing the production of widgets cannot.
Hopefully, readers will also come to a better understanding of how the economics of everyday life apply to public policy. That is the Adshape's hope, and it's almost guaranteed that the book will have that impact on many readers.

Mayo Clinic offers appointments in Arizona, Florida and Minnesota and at Mayo Clinic Health System locations.
Urologists diagnose and treat problems involving the male and female urinary tract and the male reproductive organs. Unlike most other medical subspecialists, urologists provide care throughout the life cycle — from newborns to elderly. Because of the broad range of clinical problems they encounter, urologists have a familiarity with many other medical fields — such as internal medicine, pediatrics, gynecology, geriatrics and oncology — in addition to surgical training.
The expertise of the Urology Department at Mayo Clinic Rochester covers the spectrum of clinical urology. Our physicians are leaders in clinical research that enhances our capability to offer the most advanced treatments available.
We are currently working on developing novel therapies for treatment of advanced urologic cancers. Our vast clinical experience and ongoing research into minimally invasive procedures are reflected in our low complication rates and improved outcomes.
One area of special expertise is laparoscopic surgery — a minimally invasive surgery that results in shorter hospital stays, less discomfort and bleeding and a shorter recovery period. Laparoscopy is not performed in all urology departments because it is a relatively new technique which requires special training and experience. Mayo Clinic urologists perform hundreds of laparoscopic kidney procedures each year.
The department is composed of 18 clinical urologists and three basic science researchers.
Mayo Clinic accepts appointments in Arizona, Florida and Minnesota and at Mayo Clinic Health System sites.
Mayo Clinic in Minnesota has been recognized as one of the top Urology hospitals in the nation for 2017-2018 by U.S. News & World Report.

Strasburg's health a concern after loss to Braves
Johnson says righty, who battled for six innings, has forearm tightness
ATLANTA -- Monday night was uncomfortable for the Nationals.
Starter Stephen Strasburg pretty much looked and pitched that way his entire six innings.
Manager Davey Johnson looked and spoke that way afterward about the game, a 3-2 Washington loss, and his ace.
"He always has a tendency to shake his right arm, and him being wild, he doesn't look right to me," said Johnson. "He's still throwing the ball real hard, but I told him when I went out in the sixth, 'Get them out this inning, we'll get you out of there and we'll get you a win.'
"I think he was in there with the doctor, he's got a little tightness, I think, in his forearm," Johnson continued. "So they're going to put him on some medication. That was a bad thing in the game. He was throwing good but his command was way off, so I knew something was off on him."
For Strasburg, struggling at Turner Field isn't new, as he's allowed 12 earned runs in 20 1/3 innings, a 5.37 ERA, his second-highest mark at any ballpark. He allowed only two earned runs over six innings Monday night.
From the first inning, Strasburg -- who said afterward that he felt fine, physically -- struggled. He recognized it right away.
"I smoked the umpire in the first AB. You don't want to go out there and do that," he said about a 3-2 pitch to Atlanta leadoff hitter Jordan Schafer, who would walk and score. "I was pulling the ball. I can't really say why I'm having a tough time right now in the first inning, but I am. I just have to keep grinding and figure it out."
Strasburg did that, as he navigated through minefields in just about every inning, allowing the leadoff man to reach in five of the first six innings, three times putting him on via walk. But he only allowed the Braves to score in one inning after the first, throwing 93 pitches, 53 for strikes, and ending the sixth with a strikeout of B.J. Upton on a 97-mph fastball.
The Braves certainly didn't feel they got the better of Strasburg, who is now winless in five straight starts despite allowing three-or-fewer runs four times.
"With a pitcher with the kind of stuff he has, you want to get his pitch count up as quick as possible and get him out of there," said Braves second baseman Dan Uggla, who was 2-for-3 vs. Strasburg and is hitting .478 career against him. "He still went six innings. But we were able to run his pitch count up a little bit and run a couple [runs] across."
Strasburg's teammates noticed his command was off, but also his grit in fighting through.
"I think he pitched well," said catcher Kurt Suzuki. "Command probably wasn't where he'd like. He was able to get out of a couple of jams, but it was a tough one. His fastball command wasn't where he would want it but, overall, the results were pretty good."
"I don't think he ever really settled in and was totally comfortable, and he still threw a great ballgame," agreed first baseman Adam LaRoche. "Without his best stuff, without his best command, he had to grind through it and got us out of some jams."
Unfortunately for Washington, Atlanta pitcher Julio Teheran was as stubborn.
Just like the first time Washington saw Teheran -- when they knocked him around for four earned runs and six hits in the first two innings but couldn't put him away and eventually lost in extra innings -- the Nationals pounded out 10 hits off Teheran on Monday. But they could only plate two runs and were again unable to put him away, eventually losing late.
Tyler Clippard (1-1) took the loss, allowing the go-ahead run in the seventh, on a walk, a single and a sacrifice fly. Jordan Walden (1-0) got the win for Atlanta.
"We missed a lot of opportunities," said Johnson. "And 'Clip' leading off the inning with a walk, that's about the kiss of death there. Tough ballgame. We'll get 'em tomorrow."
With the loss, Washington, which plays its next six games and 21 of the next 31 on the road, fell to 4-6 away from home.
Every Washington position player had at least one hit as the Nats outhit the Braves, 10-7, with Chad Tracy, getting a rare start at third, and shortstop Ian Desmond each getting two. But the Nats were 2-for-9 with runners in scoring position, as only Tracy and Suzuki could deliver, each getting a second-inning RBI single.
The offense also may not have come out of Monday unscathed. Right fielder Jayson Werth, the team's second-leading home run hitter and run producer, injured his groin. He came up in the eighth inning but told Johnson that he would be unable to get around the bases.
"He had a tight groin going up," said Johnson. "He said, 'Maybe I can hit one out, but if I get on, you'll have to run for me.'"
As if to reinforce that he wasn't going to do any running, Werth fouled a 2-1 pitch off his left shin. He'd strike out swinging two pitches later.
Johnson said he expected Werth to get a couple of days off to rest.
A defiant Strasburg declared afterward that he, too, expected to take a couple of days off -- four to be exact.
"I'm not missing my next start. I'll tell you right now," he said.

text: The past 24 hours have been unforgettable for BYU guard Craig Cusick, who learned shortly before the Cougars' 70-68 win over Utah State on Tuesday night that his father and hero, Randy, had been diagnosed with a cancerous tumor in his small intestine. Of course, Cusick is the reason BYU won the game. He caught Matt Carlino's missed jumper about 12 feet from the rim, and tossed it back in the hoop before his feet hit the ground with less than a second left. Cusick went on ESPN's SportsCenter at noon MST Wednesday and described the ordeal from BYUtv studios in Provo. Among the highlights of the interview was Cusick's description of visiting his father in his hospital bed around midnight after the game-winning shot. Some tears were shed, he said. "My dad is just incredible, and I told him and he looked into my eyes and he said he was going to be fine and that he was going to be able to fight through it," Cusick said, thanking fans for their support and prayers. Cusick said he did not mention his father's health condition in the postgame news conference because he wasn't sure whether or not his family wanted to make it public or not. After it leaked out, a BYU official entered the press room and informed reporters as they were working on their game stories and sidebars. "My dad was my coach growing up," Cusick told ESPN. "He is my hero." Randy is waiting to see a specialist at the Huntsman Cancer Institute near the University of Utah, where Craig Cusick started his college career as a walk-on at the U.

Generally, people regard Silicon Valley and the companies there as technology vendors creating and selling the latest hardware and software innovations. In short, they sell pieces of the latest stack of technology that does whiz-bang things used by companies like yours to improve productivity or facilitate innovation through expedited sharing or other efficiency gains. But a shift in occurring as Silicon Valley companies increasingly deploy disruptive products that alter the competitive landscape.
So many broad-based business model disruptions have emanated from Silicon Valley, according to Mark Zawacki, founder of 650 Labs, based in Mountain View, CA—the heart of Silicon Valley—that he has been able to build a successful consulting practice helping large companies understand the trends coming out of Silicon Valley with the goal of helping them stay competitive. At a minimum the insights his clients gain should enable their organizations remain relevant. Included among 650 Labs' prominent customers are Microsoft, Cisco, Intel, VeriSign—companies widely regarded as technology industry trend setters even if not exactly denizens of Silicon Valley.
Even for these companies, "we help them navigate through and around disruption in order to sustain market share, grow revenue, and remain relevant for the long term," says Zawacki. His non-high tech clients include McDonalds, MasterCard, Citi, Rabobank, Volvo, Norsk Hydro, Occidental Petroleum, and Swisscom.
Of course innovation can happen anywhere and game changing innovation regularly comes out of the Boston-Cambridge (Kendall Square, around MIT) area, Texas, and Israel, dubbed Startup Nation in the bestselling book of the same name by Dan Senor and Paul Singer. But even among these innovation hotbeds, Zawacki insists Silicon Valley is different.
The usual IT research and analyst firms follow Silicon Valley doings regularly, but Zawacki insists it is not the same thing, that they have missed a subtle shift that occurred. Generally, people regard Silicon Valley and the companies there as technology vendors creating and selling the latest hardware and software innovations. In short, they sell pieces of the latest stack of technology that does whiz-bang things used by companies like yours to improve productivity or facilitate innovation through expedited sharing or other efficiency gains.
The shift Zawacki has detected, however, is the change from selling pieces of a technology stack—a bunch of technology tools—to using their own technologies and innovations to disrupt industries and segments while keeping the profits for themselves. "They have gone from being arms suppliers to being mercenaries that will take a share of the profits," Zawacki observed. Apple's iTunes was an early example of this. Instead of providing capabilities to the recorded music industry iTunes has made Apple a major player in that industry in its own right and is generating considerable revenue from it.
This, he believes, represents a portentous shift in direction that few are talking about. As CFO or as any top executive you want to know what innovation will dramatically disrupt your industry and which unknown little company, maybe one with an oddball name, will suddenly capture a major piece of your industry's action. They won't be selling you the tools to compete; they will be competing against you and most likely winning. Just think about it for a moment.
What's the most unsettling scenario you face if you are a large multinational in a slow-growth mature industry somewhere in the world? How about a well planned, focused attack by a fully venture-funded, below-the-radar disruptor that simultaneously:
--> Takes on the risks of re-envisioning how your industry can operate and grow
--> Builds a product or offers a service that is deemed much better by your customers than your current offer
--> Focuses on efficiently tearing away your most profitable customers with a better value proposition and/or business model
--> Undercuts your cost structure with advanced technology innovation
--> Outflanks your every response with a superior battle plan and strategy
The Silicon Valley culture embraces an unrestrained competitive marketplace and is not hindered as you might be by a bureaucratic infrastructure, by the lack of an innovative culture, or by a high cost structure that is slow to respond to competitive thrusts.
So what's the solution? It comes down to a variation of the old adage if-you-can't beat-'em-join-'em. In this case it means getting some boots on the ground in Silicon Valley, people who will wire themselves into the culture and watch out for your interests. Their mission is to find and connect with people who can leverage your resources to make you part of this game. At the same time start building out an innovation lab or embedding strategy teams there.

"Intellectual property", Bill Gates once said, "has the shelf life of a banana". Now, you may argue with the sentiment, but you cannot deny the fact that intellectual property (IP) - its creation, its protection, its management - has become a major area of concern for companies worldwide. Which is why PwC is now issuing this new, updated version of Mastering the intellectual property life cycle.
This revised edition explains why it has become increasingly important for companies to know, manage and control their intellectual property. Organised in a way that systematically mirrors the actual life cycle of IP rights, Mastering the intellectual property life cycle offers compelling insights from both tax and legal points of view, as well as an accounting perspective. This new edition covers 45 countries around the world as compared to 31 countries covered by the 2005 edition. It provides individual country chapter overviews of the differences in territorial IP definitions, accounting treatments, and tax incentives.
In addition to its wealth of information and insights, Mastering the intellectual property life cycle can not only help you to elevate IP issues to the boardroom level (where they truly belong) but can also help you devise and deploy effective IP strategies that can boost the bottom line in fresh, innovative ways.

This book is constructed around the "life cycle" of intellectual property rights, seen from tax, accounting, and legal planning and defence perspectives. It focuses on developing, exploiting and alienating IP rights--covering areas, such as:
These aspects are illustrated with specific examples, relevant international case law and administrative practice. The authors also called on the experience of the global network of tax and legal professionals within PwC.
Many companies make mistakes when trying to plan and manage their IP. The following key issues need to be addressed to build a robust IP tax strategy throughout the IP life cycle:

The Center for Intercultural Studies Welcomes Dr. Teruyuki Tsuji
The Center for Intercultural Studies is very pleased to welcome Dr. Teruyuki Tsuji who has arrived from Japan to take up the position of Post-Doctoral Research Fellow at the Center. He was awarded the fellowship in an international competition that saw applications from two dozen countries. "I am confident," said the Center's Director Dr. Michal Rozbicki, "that Dr. Tsuji's academic achievements, combined with his experience in foreign service, will contribute much to the advancement of innovative research on interculturality at Saint Louis University, and help the Center grow and fulfill its mission."
Since he had received his Ph.D. at Florida International University in 2006, Dr. Tsuji has held a visiting assistant professorship at Nova Southeastern University, Ft. Lauderdale, FL, and a research fellowship at Kwansei Gakuin University (Kobe, Japan). Before entering the graduate program, he had worked for Japan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and was stationed as cultural attaché in Trinidad and Tobago, and Jamaica. His research focuses on the implications of religion for the construction of ethnic and transnational identity among the African and South Asian diaspora populations in the Caribbean, and on West Indian immigrant communities in the United States. His recent publications include "Mothers as Hyphenated Imaginations: The Feasts of Soparee Ke Mai and La Divina Pastora in Trinidad" in Kumar Mahabir, ed., Indian Diaspora in the Caribbean (New Delhi, India: Serials Publications, 2009); "Trinidadian and Tobagonian Immigrants" in Ronald Bayor, ed., Multicultural America: An Encyclopedia of the Newest Americans (Westport, CT: ABC-CLIO/Greenwood Press, 2011); and "Cocoa, Catholicism, and Creoleness: Ethnicized Plantation Economy as a Matrix of Modern Trinidad" in Amy Clukey, ed., Plantation Modernity (Athens, GA: University of Georgia Press, forthcoming).
Translating Intercultural Theory Into Practice
Diana Bartelli Carlin, Associate Vice President for Graduate Education, Professor of Communication and faculty member at the Center for Intercultural Studies, has worked for the past fifteen months on a civil society project in Afghanistan to develop a curriculum to teach public speaking, argumentation and debate. She trained faculty at seven universities to teach the curriculum, and tested it at three universities in Kabul. The students implemented the lessons through participation in British Parliamentary Debate Tournament. In July 2011, Dr. Carlin helped organize the inaugural Kabul city and Afghan National debate competitions. There were eighty students participating, all speaking fluent English. For some, this was the first time they traveled out of their province. As a rule, these students work, many full-time, as well as attend classes early morning and late evening. They are majoring in business, law, political science, and medicine. In their post-event evaluation comments, many said that it was a transformative experience for them, inspiring hope about the future of their country.

Topic: Some pictures from Scotland taken last week.
Just seen this page on the BBC site of some pics taken in Scotland last week and some of them are crackers! None were taken by me, but I loved some of them and thought I'd share them here.
Some real good scenery pics in there.

Good afternoon everyone,
I joined today, so apologises in advance for anything I do wrong.
I am an aspiring photographer trying to create my own site through Dreamwever CS5.5.
My DW knowledge is limited compared to you guys and girls, so I watch ALOT of tutorials.
My question is, what is the easiest image gallery I can embed into my pages with say thumbnails and a bigger image above / to the right or just a click and next / prev.
I would love a CSS stylesheet to run along side it as well.
I would check out hotscripts and see if there is something you like. Most galleries could be integrated into your site.
I think a better way would be to use a dedicated photo CMS. There is a new one out that I tried which would probably suite your needs Koken.
Hi cocnee. Welcome to the forums.
Koken looks interesting. But if you are doing the HTML and uploading yourself, there are lots of free JavaScript galleries that are easy to set up and use. Depends on what behavior you want, though. If you google something like "jquery gallery" you'll find hundreds of options.
I was just looking for something this was easy to embed into Dreamweaver and that had a CSS page for me to change image size and gallery position on the page.
I also need to work on all platforms and mobiles, ipads and is also easy for me to add additional images.
I have all the pages built, just the galleries to embed into the pages.
Ideally, thumbnails to the left, click and a bigger image appears on the right.
I understand I suppose more than the basics, but just the gallery embedding (what to pick) has me scratching my head....
Yep. there are plenty that do that. You just place the required scripts in a folder somewhere, and then link to them on your page. From then on, you just add in pics as needed, usually in an unordered list.
I was about to go hunting online for a gallery like you described, but you might as well do it yourself and look at the options. Search for something like "jquery thumbnail gallery" and you'll find that there are tons of options.
You could use the Jamie Ruth lol. It sounds as if it fits the bill. http://www.websitecodetutorials.com/code/photo-galleries/the-jamieruth.php
Those are just hover galleries, though, from what I remember. The OP is probably looking for something more robust. Rather than going the JQuery route, there are some nice, simple scripts like this one, which can be styled to suit: http://domscripting.com/domsters/photos.html
Maybe. It all sounded pretty dumbed down to me. In which case I have a fun JS one here with css fall back.
Some of those links need fixing. Anyhow, that doesn't quite look like what the OP is asking for. That's why gallery questions need to be pretty specific about what functionailty is needed, as there are so many options out there.
What needs fixing? Until OP gives some feed back no one really knows what he wants.
Firstly let me apologise for any delay.
I love ALL your suggestions and have alot of fun setting the gallery up.
Thanks to you all.

"[RPS] Public platoon. Indar."
Is enough. Avoid giraffe in-jokes.
I've taken part on some of the RPS Arma Tactical Tuesdays, so I'm well aware of the advantages of listening to Mumble!
I'm looking forward to getting back in-game.
I'm excited about flying a Gal again. You may find me exclusively organising Gal drops once I'm back as PL. It will be amazing. Promise.
That was amazing! Your PhD marathon nearing it's end?
We got Amerish. So happy you guys!! Thanks for joining tonight. Our hard work paid off and I hope everyone got some good fights.
On what seemed another casual night on Amerish, Ridebird coordinated with the other outfits, and we soon were aiming to deny the continent bonus from the TR. At the end, not only did we achieve that, but we actually managed a continent lock. Cheaper aircraft all around!
Purple Giraffes of Awesome to Ridebird, the platoon, and to our allies who made it happen: UBAD, BURP and PVL who joined in our platoon, MDK, ISK and all the other outfits that coordinated so efficiently and effectively (sorry if I forget some names) and all those who fought alongside us. Let the cooperation only grow stronger.
Attachment 2607
God, this thread makes me wish I'd have played more Planetside lately... :)
I had an idea yesterday that we tried out briefly. How about we run with two platoon leaders on regular days?
BL1 - macro/comms leader. Controls where the outfit is going, communicates in /leader and with other outfits, uses /orders to try to affect the zerg.
BL2 - micro/direct leader. Controls what the platoon does/which squad goes where (if needed), if a class or vehicle is needed and such.
I think BL2 should be the PL in-game so he/she can change the plwp for enemy sunderers etc. BL1 can just say where we are needed anyway. BL1 needs to be SL in bravo.
May I also strongly suggest that everyone that leads certs command chat and orders? It truly is a must going forward for us, I'd say. Even if we just use it a little, it is immensly helpful to work with others at all times. It's not always needed - if we are defing Indar for example - but other times it's awesome. This also means everyone needs to start communicating in /leader when they are leading - regardless of the night. If I'm on I will likely fulfill this as comms officer or whatever.
May I also suggest that we step up our game a bit and try to aim for more cont locks and get off Indar a bit more? That means coordinating more and trying to stick together more. I believe we can do it with the help of other outfits.
This sounds excellent, all of it! I'd like to try this sometime.
That sounds really good. I approve of all points. And there's something related that I want to bring up.
After playing for a couple of hours yesterday (before the cont lock) I started to think a bit about the outfit and how we're playing. We've really started to step up our game when it comes to macro-management. We're usually going for strategically significant targets, coordinating with other outfits (major kudos to Ridebird for arranging that yesterday, the reinforcements came at just the right time), and so forth.
But I think that there's a lot more we can do on a micro-level. Not really talking about BL giving order to squads (although that is very nice in some situations), but more about stuff like staying together in smaller groups, pushing towards an objective as an unified squad or just letting everyone else know what you're doing.
For those who weren't playing yesterday, we were defending a tower (was it Krux? Can't really recall the name) against several TR outfits. It was a losing battle but we managed to slow the cap down and hold until we got reinforcements. Which was really well done, don't get me wrong. I was proud of us for not giving up. But during the fight, it seemed like we lost a lot of concentration and started fighting more as a group of lone soldiers than an outfit (DISCLAIMER: I'm not trying to criticize anyone, I'm just as guilty as anyone of doing this). Which wasn't very effective, while we managed to hold on to the base we did it with the tip of our fingers. Personally it felt like I was mostly charging out, killing a couple of enemies and desperately trying to stop an overwhelming force. Which just is bad for morale.
So my suggestion would be that we try to work a bit more in groups, even on casual nights. I'm not talking about breaking up in separate channels (even though we shouldn't be afraid of doing so if the situation demands it), but just sticking together with a couple of other in the squad/outfit. Maybe make sure that we have at least one medic in each group. And simply hit objectives as an unified unit rather than as single individuals. Simply speaking, what we've talked about for stratgir but trying to implement it when playing more casually as well.
We have a lot of really good players, who can and will get the job done, and it seems like we're not really playing to our true potential. Just changing the playstyle of the outfit a little would probably make us much more effective. And, at least from my point of view, more fun as well. I'd rather fight a losing battle were we're giving ground slowly and in a controlled manner than just barely holding while micro-zerging.
So, that's my two cents. What do you guys think about this?
(Further disclaimer, I wrote this before rushing to uni, so I haven't proofread it. Sorry if there are any parts that's unclear ;) )
Seems clear enough to me, and it is also a point that I and many others have raised recently. (Thanks for bringing it up again!) We are getting better at this too, but it requires a different mindset to what many are used to from other shooters.
This is not ArmA or Operation Flashpoint, and shouldn't be played as such, but neither is it Quake or Unreal Tournament, and should probably not be played as such either. The impulse to run off on your own is very strong in this game, since it feels so much like a "regular" fast-paced shooter. If the pace were a bit more measured, a more methodical playstyle would probably emerge. Don't get me wrong, I really like the feel and the pace of the game, but I think it does reinforce the solo play behaviour so common in the AAA FPS world. It really makes a difference if you can manage to stick together though.
I believe this must be the SL's responsibility, at least initially. SLs must push their squads to stick together until we've been doing it for long enough for it to become the natural thing to do.
If we want to bother, that is. I certainly do, but I'm not sure everyone in the outfit agrees. There are some differences in opinion re: how much we should emphasize organisation/efficacy versus relaxed fun.
Fully agreed SirHoc - that attack was awful. I really did not coordinate it at all because I was occupied with directing all the other outfits as well as us.
I have taken a role in leader chat as a dude that say "let's go do this" and people actually listen. That has also made me somewhat of a "spider in the web" (direct translation of a swedish expression that probably looks hilarious to brits) that needs to talk to the others constantly and make sure we all have our targets/work together.
This is also why at least I need someone to actually lead the platoon. Making people sticking together is for sure something along those lines.
While I have stepped my macro game up significantly lately, that also has meant I have reached my multi-tasking breaking point - which is real good fun to be honest. I love challenging that particular ability because I find it fun, but I have noticed myself simply not being able to do it all. Direction and leadership on a ground level has been lacking.
That's why I thought of my system -and it was right after the shitty attack on Crux. I mean, I wasn't directing sunderers or anything there, I was just trying to make The Plan come together to get the lock on a macro level with a lot of other people. That's bad and why we need a second PL during these kind of ops.
I think we REALLY need to focus on sticking together more on the micro level. Always bring a buddy and such. I know I run off alone a lot and I am an awful offender of this, but we should try to group up a bit before going anywhere really.
Splitting comms solves this issue. No need to dress it up or lie - it does. It just autofixes it since the squad is an actual squad and you can see the people you're talking to and keep check of them (almost everyone can have a decent idea of their 11 buddies). If we don't want to split, we need to make this part work somehow.
And again it comes to organization/efficiency vs. "fun". In my opinion we should be ready to do ops on the daily and coordinate with others, as well as follow orders and have a dedicated, vocal, leader that is in CHARGE. That means we listen and that person takes charge, however he or she does it.
Do we still have a lot of people that are strongly opposed to this style of play? We seemed to have more people sticking online last night then usually for example, so hopefully I did not scare anyone away.
But I think it really is about time we get to the root of this, and especially the regular majority - after all, the people that play often and are a majority (we are) should decide this for the rest of the outfit. Or we just take a vote I guess and let democracy settle this.
What do you think?
edit: Talking about tuesday, friday, saturday, sunday (not one stratgir has happened on sundays so might as well scratch it) by the way - mondays are silly, wednesdays are zergy and thursdays are highly organized. I think we have a good spread of sillyness/relaxed play (two days) and one day of highly organized squad play. The rest should be a compromise that does not effect our tactical and strategic ability - meaning we should still be able to coordinate with others at all times, stick together as squads, and make sure we have good direction on the ground.
And another thing about what kind of outfit we want to be - I think we should focus on infantry ops via gal/sundy without the necessary heavy zerg (I just find it so dumb and that LAs DO have a use) but always be ready to switch to tanks, and have pilots that want to fly to be in the air almost constantly.
I think our greatest strength in this is flexibility, and that we don't necessarily have to limit ourselves as many other outfits (Enclave, CONZ, BRTD, MDK) do just because infantry and lock-ons is the counter to everything. Tanks still have a place goddamnit! Sarons4all 2013.
Infantry focus (inc Gal and Sundy movements) but quick to bring the Mag-based-pain. Air (libs especially) as and when we need it, but nothing dedicated.
That beign said, however. If anyone wants to dedicate themselves to being a Scythe scout (not air superiority) when I BL, they'd be totally welcome...
Also: Ride, I think you've found yourself where I was that night Cortosis was BLing and I was dealing with /command chat. A two system of an outfit leader / liason and a BL can work. Personally I try to do the whole lot when I can, but the downside of that is I am not on the ground (I usually just sit on a Flash or in my Sundy. I now have a "mobile command vehicle" loadout for my sundy...) and am totally reliant on people relaying what it's like out there.
I'm up for com liaisons when needed. I find that I enjoy knowing what other outfits are up to, and getting a glimpse of the greater strategic situation. I have done it for ReiOnryou and Ridebird. And I'd also like to volunteer for SL for this Thursday. Not feeling quite ready yet (after all, this is my first FPS, as I've said before), but I think it's about time I get my feet wet.
On the tactical side, Sir Hoc raises some valid points. We need to operate as cohesive squads even on casual nights. It doesn't have to be on separate channels, but even stuff like moving in dedicated sundies/gals means that we arrive in a cohesive, concentrated fashion, and can move as a unit. Always move with a back up. Cover an objective from at least two sides. Always try to flank, so have one group fix the target, and another one flank. Keep our distances, so we don't move into eachother's firing arc. Don't let the medic in first. And always have more than one sundy at the ready. Unless moving in an armour column, a sundy with mineguard or blockade armour is preferable. Also, MAXs, not just for biolabs.
Very interesting, read this thread lately. I like all the comments made by the previous few posters.
I wouldn't mind doing BL some nights when someone else is handling the general direction of the outfit and coordination with others. Wouldn't mind doing SL on Thursday either, although I've led two weeks in a row now, so it might be time for me to step aside this week.
EDIT: also, Eclectic: Having limited experience from other shooters is really not that much of a handicap here, I think, since Planetside is so different from many other games. You just need a decent understanding of this game to be effective, not a deep understanding of FPS mechanics in general.
I gotta say guys, I haven't played in a little while and I probably won't be able to for another week or so what with work commitments, but from everything I've read here I'm really looking forward to rejoining the platoon.

text: Talroth 3247 Report post Posted March 6, 2013 I will admit that I'm very disappointed in myself. I wasn't going to do it, but then I saw a few guys in my office doing it, so I decided I would join them. I purchased the new SimCity game. Things were a tad slow in the office today, so I managed to take off early to get a few things done, and this left me with free time. In theory this also meant that I would have a chance to explore the gameplay and design aspects of the latest SimCity. Bought it, got it installed in the afternoon, and sat down to play a bit. Co-workers warned me to set up on European servers as the US ones were hammered, followed their advice, and then half an hour later I was getting errors about having lost contact with the servers. No big deal right? This is still technically a single player game, I'm not interacting with any other players, so clearly not having contact with the server isn't a huge deal. I'll miss out on a few easy achievements maybe? It isn't kicking me off and has been flashing that message for awhile, so obviously everything is fine... Wait, I was eventually kicked off. So I take a break for supper, come back, and now I can't log in because the servers are down for maintenance, and their ETA on coming back up is <parameter string>. Great, so not only can the servers go down for an unknown length of time, but the people behind them are sloppy enough that I can see internal strings that I'm not suppose to. And this is the trend developers are pushing for? To piss me off enough that I declare to hell with their product, and have called up a friend to see if she and her roommate wants to play Carcassonne The City with me? 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
