On the third Monday of January each year, America observes the birthday of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., in recognition of his active involvement in the fight against racial discrimination and his fight for equality amongst men. Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated in 1968, but many still remember him for spear-heading the Montgomery Bus Boycott and his famous "I have a dream" speech.
As our beloved five year old son, Reuben and I were talking about the diabolical effects of segregation and racial prejudice, he said "Underneath our skin, we all have the same colored blood, correct?" and I could tell that his mind was seeking an answer to the question, "How can man be so blind to not see beyond the skin?" I used the opportunity to tell him, how God created man, both male and female, in his own image and that we are all made equal in the sight of God for there is no partiality in God (Romans 2:11). Then as I read the "I Have a Dream" speech, it dawned on me that from each section of the speech, there is hidden in it a beautiful reference to the Bible. The Bible is inspired by God and so in that sense can be said to be THE KING'S speech, for God is King over all, or rightfully so, it must be "The KING of kings Speech".
Given below is excerpts from Martin Luther King Jr.'s speech (in red italics) following which is a reference to the Scripture.
It came as a joyous daybreak to end the long night of their captivity.
Psalm 30:5 states "… in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning."
God's favor is life. Our trials are tribulations are merely temporary.
So we have come here today to dramatize a shameful condition.
Psalm 69:5 states "O God, thou knowest my foolishness; and my sins are not hid from thee."
Psalm 69: 7 "shame hath covered my face."
Sin is a shameful condition and Romans 3:23 asserts that all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God
This note was a promise that all men, … would be guaranteed the unalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
2 Peter 3:9 states that God is patient not wanting anyone to perish, but that all come to repentance and have eternal life. Jesus' sacrifice makes this possible.
2 Corinthians 3:17 states that "Where the spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty".
Jeremiah 17:7-8 states that "Blessed (happy) are those who trust in the Lord (Jesus Christ), whose hope is the Lord (Jesus Christ). For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit."
Only in Jesus are we guaranteed the unalienable rights of life, liberty and happiness.
Now is the time to lift our nation from the quick sands of racial injustice to the solid rock of brotherhood.
Psalm 40:2 informs us that Jesus lifts those who are in the miry pit (quick sands) of sin and sets their feet on a rock solid foundation; on himself.
There will be neither rest nor tranquility … until … one is granted his citizenship rights.
Philippians 3:20 asserts that "Our citizenship is in heaven from where we look for our Savior and Lord, Jesus Christ."
John 14:2-3 assures us that "Jesus has gone to prepare a place for us, so that we may be where He is (in his Father's house, which is in heaven).
Revelation 21:4 asserts that in the presence of God, there will be no tear left unwiped, for God will wipe away every tear.
Only in the presence of God, is there true rest and tranquility.
Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred.
Matthew 5:44 counsels us to "Love our enemies, and pray for those who persecute us"
Jesus said. If someone strikes you on your cheek, turn to him the other as well as recorded in Matthew 5:39.
Jesus was indeed saying, don't drink from the cup of bitterness and hatred by saying "Fight hate with love"
They have come to realize that their freedom is inextricably bound to our freedom. We cannot walk alone.
John 17:21 records that Lord prayer wherein, Jesus prayed for the unity of his disciples, that we may be one, so that the world would believe that Jesus was sent by God. We cannot walk alone.
No, no, we are not satisfied, and we will not be satisfied until justice rolls down like waters and righteousness like a mighty stream.
Amos 5:4 states that we ought to seek God so that we can live and Amos 5:24 records that judgment will roll down as waters and righteousness like a mighty stream.
We must seek God and not be satisfied until we find Him. Jesus said, Seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness and all things shall be added unto you, which is recorded in Matthew 6:33.
Continue to work with the faith that unearned suffering is redemptive.
James 1:2-4 counsels us that persecution produces perfection.
1 Timothy 6:12 counsels us to fight the good fight of faith and hold on to eternal life.
We must continue to work with (keep) the faith that the present suffering is nothing compared to the future glory, in a city whose builder in God as recorded in Hebrews 11.
Let us not wallow in the valley of despair.
Psalm 23:4 assures us that even though we walk through the valley of the shadow of death, there is nothing to fear (nor despair).
Death is but a shadow to all those who have believed in the Lord Jesus Christ and that means those who are sanctified and saved have no reason to wallow in the valley of despair.
I say to you today, my friends, so even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream.
James 4:13 teaches us that if we plan for the day or for the next, let it be so, according to God's will
Matthew 6:34 informs us that tomorrow has enough troubles of its own.
So even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, let us dream that it is according to God's will.
We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal.
Genesis 1:27 proves that God created man, both male and female in the image of God
Romans 2:11 states that in God, there is no partiality (i.e.,) all are created equal.
I have a dream that one day … the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood.
John 15:15 records Jesus' words, "I call you not servants (slaves), but friends". But Jesus did not stop there, after his resurrection, he called his disciples, brothers as recorded in John 20:17.
When we believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, we are changed from slaves to brothers and can sit down together at the table of brotherhood.
I have a dream that one day … a state sweltering with the heat of injustice, sweltering with the heat of oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice.
Isaiah 32:1 records "Behold, a king shall reign in righteousness, and princes shall rule in judgment."
Injustice shall be turned to justice and oppression into an oasis of freedom and justice, because Jesus the king will reign in righteousness.
I have a dream that my … little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.
Philippians 2:15 counsels us that we ought to be blameless and harmless, as sons (and daughters of God), without rebuke in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, wherein we ought to shine as lights in the world. Our belief in Christ Jesus imputes his righteousness on us and makes us blameless as sons of God, and when judged by men, let us be judged for the content of our character – one that emulates Jesus Christ.
I have a dream that one day, … will be able to join hands … as sisters and brothers.
Mathew 12:48-50 records two rhetorical questions of Jesus, wherein he asked: Who is my mother? and who are my brethren? He himself then answered, "Whoever does the will of God the Father who is in heaven, is his brother, and sister, and mother.
When we do God's will, we join hands as sisters and brothers of Jesus Christ.
I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted, every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight, and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together.
The Prophet Isaiah brings the word of the Lord, in Isaiah 40:4-5 that "Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made low: and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough places plain: And the glory of the LORD shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it."
This is our hope. This is the faith that I go back … with. With this faith we will be able to hew out of the mountain of despair a stone of hope. With this faith we will be able to transform the jangling discords of our nation into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood. With this faith we will be able to work together, to pray together, to struggle together, to go to jail together, to stand up for freedom together, knowing that we will be free one day.
The opposite of fear is not courage, but faith. When the disciples were afraid in the boat, Jesus did not say, "O ye of little courage", but instead said, "O ye of little faith" as recorded in Matthew 8:26. Faith drives out fear and this is our faith as recorded in Matthew 12:21 that Jesus Christ is the hope of all nations.
This will be the day when all of God's children will be able to sing with a new meaning, "My country, 'tis of thee, sweet land of liberty, of thee I sing. Land where my fathers died, land of the pilgrim's pride, from every mountainside, let freedom ring." And when this happens, when we allow freedom to ring, when we let it ring from every village and every hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God's children, black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the … spiritual, "Free at last! free at last! thank God Almighty, we are free at last!"
Galatians 3:28 states "There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus."
John 8:36 asserts that "He whom Jesus, the Son of God, sets free, is free indeed"
Free at last, thank God Almighty, because of Jesus, man can be free at last!.
Points to ponder:
Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. is known, remembered and celebrated for his fight against and victory over physical oppression.
Jesus Christ, the King of kings, is known, but sadly not always remembered and celebrated for his fight against and victory over spiritual oppression of the devil.
God is saying, "I have a dream". Dream that all men come to repentance and believe in Him, for the sin of the world is unbelief in God (John 16:9). God's dream is that you and I are free!
Are you free? Free from the bondage of sin and its wages, which is death? If not, I pray that you Trust in the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, for He will set you free and that is His Dream (desire).

Police: $25K in stolen jewelry recovered
3 burglary suspects arrested
Anne Arundel County police said they recovered nearly $25,000 in jewelry from three men who were apprehended after a brief police pursuit and foot chase.
Officers were called to the 1600 block of Dunstable Green in Annapolis for report of a burglary around 12:40 p.m. Tuesday.
Officers were given the description of a white Ford Expedition that was involved and a short time later, an officer saw the SUV traveling north on Interstate 97 near Route 32.
The officer followed the vehicle as it exited I-97 onto westbound Route 32 and additional officers and detectives took up stationary positions along Route 32 to help.
When police tried to stop the SUV, it came to an abrupt stop at the Telegraph Road exit and two passengers fled on foot into a wooded area nearby.
Police said after a brief foot pursuit, both men were apprehended and arrested. The driver, who had remained in the SUV, was also arrested.
Investigators said they found jewelry and money inside the SUV that was positively identified as belonging to the residents on Dunstable Green.
Additional jewelry recovered from the SUV was stolen earlier in the day during a burglary in the 1000 block of Double Gate Road in Davidsonville, police said.
The total value of property recovered is estimated to be about $25,000.
Police said Jeffery Perry Bachmann, 30, of Hanover; Karl Edward Stull, 41, of Denton; and Matthew James Carr, 25, of Pasadena, were arrested and charged.
Each faces two counts of first- and two counts of fourth-degree burglary, two counts of destruction to property over $500; and two counts of theft over $10,000 to under $100,000.

Last year I decided to venture into the unknown, at least to me, realm of genetic genealogy by completing a DNA test. I completed both a Y-DNA and autosomal test using the services of Family Tree DNA. I shared an overview of the Y-DNA test results in November and the autosomal test results in December.
I really had low expectations about the test results connecting me with a lot of new cousins. Rather, I was just plain and simple curious. What haplogroup did I belong to? What would my DNA test results indicate about my deep ancestral past? I found the results to be useful and perhaps even mildly amusing.
All of that seems to be changing now. I have been contacted by researchers who are very seriously examining the possible, maybe likely, connection between the Hadden family in Aberdeenshire, Scotland and the Hadden family of County Tyrone, Ireland.
A connection between the two families has been at least anecdotal based on references in old family letters written by the Irish Haddens to visiting the home of their 'old ancestors' in Aberdeen. As it appears likely that the 'Irish Haddens' may have left Scotland about 400 years ago, there are no written records found to date that can confirm the family connection.
That's where my DNA comes in and may prove it's worth. I can confirm my Hadden ancestral roots in Aberdeenshire. My grandfather left Aberdeen with his parental family in 1923. Many generations of my Hadden ancestors lived in or around Aberdeen, Scotland and there are fortunately plenty of paper records that verify these facts.
Family Tree Finder test results indicate that there are 978 matches of my Y-chromosome DNA with the Y-DNA of others in their database. Only six of the 978 are an exact Y-DNA match and bear the Hadden surname. Interestingly, three of these six individuals can trace their roots to County Tyrone, Ireland in the early 18th century. Of the remaining three exact Hadden matches, two do not list their most distant Hadden ancestor and one has traced his Hadden ancestry to mid-18th century Pennsylvania in the United States.
So did one of my Hadden ancestors move himself and possibly his family from Aberdeenshire, Scotland to County Tyrone, Ireland sometime around 1600 - 1650? I don't know right now but working with other researchers, who fortunately are much more knowledgeable in the field of genetic genealogy than I am, I may find out, and soon!

motion732, its a little off the beaten path but you can go up to Arenal. There's a nice little hotel and they also have natural hot waterfalls and pools. Pretty cool. You can also check out the volcano.
As for Jaco, its a nasty Ghetto!!! The water is even worse! I would drink out of my toilet before surfing Jaco. Jaco is also dangerous...a good friend of mine was shot and killed there. All because some Columbian thought he was checking out his girl. Two months previous to this happening my friend who got shot had his brother killed in a car accident about 30 minutes north of Jaco.
There's so many nice places to go down there. Why bother with Jaco....the waves aren't even good there. If you're deadset on going to that area go stay out in Hermosa. There's plenty of places out there to stay. Quepos and Manuel Antonio are really nice too. Its about 30 minutes or so south of Hermosa and Jaco.
Costa is definitely not what it used to be! However you can still find a good wave and some fairly uncrowded places to stay still.
!00% right!!!! couldn't have said it better myself. ive made the trip to Hermosa plenty of times alone, and its so worth it. you'll meet people when you travel alone. I made a lot of close friends in costa rica by going alone. Book your ticket!!!
the best times I've had was when I traveled alone. I liked it a little better when the wifey came because of the temptress' there. In 01 we quit our jobs to move. I went a month earlier cause the wife had stock option that needed a little more time to mature. I stayed in desolate areas, camping. Was in Mata Palo, not seeing any one for days. I walked around the point and there were 3 nekkid Ticas frolicking in a tidal pool. I excused my self and started to run away. "Ven! Ven!" I said I couldn't. they asked why. Estoy casado. they didn't care. I said the wife was a bruja and would put the juju on both of us. that seemed like a good excuse to them.
she did tell me I could get a Beejay but I had to pay for it. Shee it, those are free. just wave a sammich in front of them.

A ruptured or perforated eardrum is exactly what you might imagine: a tear or hole in the eardrum — the part of the ear that vibrates in response to sound waves. Eardrum injuries can be extremely painful and, in the worst cases, might lead to infections and hearing loss.
Fortunately, though, most eardrum injuries heal within a few weeks with no problems. When an eardrum won't heal on its own, surgery may be needed to repair it and restore normal hearing.
The eardrum, also called the tympanic membrane, is the thin, cone-shaped piece of tissue that separates the outer ear from the middle ear. It's found at the end of the ear canal (the part that gets waxy).
The hearing process begins when the pinna (the part of the ear that's visible) funnels sound waves into the ear canal, where they hit the eardrum and make it vibrate. In the inner ear, these vibrations are converted into nerve impulses by the snail-shaped cochlea. These impulses then travel to the brain along the cochlear nerve, also known as the auditory nerve. The brain's auditory cortex receives these signals and interprets them as different sounds.
If the eardrum is perforated, it can hurt the eardrum's ability to vibrate correctly, leading to muffled or diminished hearing. Hearing loss is usually temporary and can vary in intensity based on the size and location of the injury.
Sometimes bacteria and other materials enter the middle ear through this opening and can cause an infection. Fortunately, this rarely leads to permanent hearing damage.
Many people don't know that cleaning their ears with cotton swabs is a major cause of eardrum injuries. That's because poking around in the ear canal too harshly can easily injure the eardrum's fragile tissue, especially in young children, who have very narrow ear canals. (Tip: To clean wax build-up in the ears, opt for a wet washcloth and gently wipe outside the ear canal.)
But eardrums can be injured in lots of other ways, including:
When a child injures an eardrum, the first symptom is usually ear pain, which can range from mild to severe and might increase for a time before suddenly decreasing.
Other symptoms of an injured eardrum include:
If your child has symptoms of a ruptured or perforated eardrum, call a doctor right away. Most injuries will heal on their own, but you should ensure that any hearing loss is only temporary.
Also seek medical care right away if your child has severe symptoms, such as bloody discharge from the ear, extreme pain, total hearing loss in one ear, or dizziness that causes vomiting.
To check for ruptured or perforated eardrum, the doctor will examine your child's ear canal with a lighted tool called an otoscope. Sometimes the doctor will be able to see the tear in the eardrum, but other times fluid in the ear will block the view.
The doctor might order other tests to check for hearing loss, such as:
If there is fluid leaking from the ear, the doctor might send a sample for testing to see if there is an infection of the middle ear or inner ear.
Usually, eardrum injuries heal on their own within a few weeks without any treatment. While the eardrum is healing, over-the-counter pain relievers can help ease any pain. Ask your doctor about which pain relievers are best for your child.
To help prevent infections or treat an existing infection, the doctor may prescribe antibiotics. These may be liquid or pills to be swallowed or ear drops. Never give your child over-the-counter ear drops unless your doctor recommends it. Some drops are not meant to be used if there is a hole in the eardrum because they can cause problems with the middle ear or cochlea.
To protect the eardrum while it heals, your doctor may advise keeping your child's ear dry. Tell your child to keep his or her head above water while swimming, and gently place a waterproof earplug or cotton ball coated with petroleum jelly in the ear when your child showers or bathes. Children also should not forcefully blow their noses until the eardrum is completely healed.
If a ruptured or perforated eardrum doesn't heal on its own within about 4 weeks, a child might need to see a pediatric otolaryngologist or ENT (ear, nose, and throat doctor). After an exam and hearing testing, the otolaryngologist or ENT may recommend an eardrum patch. During this procedure, a chemical is applied to the edges of the rupture to stimulate growth and healing, then a paper patch is placed over the area to protect it. This might have to be done a few times before the eardrum is fully healed.
If all other treatments fail, a specialist might perform a surgery known as a tympanoplasty. In this procedure, a small patch of a child's own tissue is grafted onto the affected eardrum to close the tear. This is a relatively simple surgery, and kids usually can leave the hospital the same day.
In some cases, such as an accidental blow to the ear, it's impossible to prevent an eardrum injury. But other cases of eardrum perforation are entirely preventable.
Here are some ways you and your kids can reduce the odds of an injury:

WEST POINT - Back in the days when he sat in a high chair for meals, Bill Hoffman's brothers nicknamed him "Happy" because of his cheerful response no matter what they gave him to eat.
WEST POINT - Back in the days when he sat in a high chair for meals, Bill Hoffman's brothers nicknamed him "Happy" because of his cheerful response no matter what they gave him to eat.
That was more than a century ago.
Now, Hoffman cooks for himself. He's still happy, and, as he turns 105 today, he said that the upbeat frequency to his life might partially explain why it has been exceptionally long.
"When I was working, I never tried to climb the corporate ladder," Hoffman said during an interview Monday afternoon at his West Point home. "These high muckety-mucks in charge of things, they have a lot of stress."
Not that he hasn't had his share of danger and heartache to face. When he was only 4 months old, he had a brush with death.
Hoffman doesn't remember it, but family members told him that the home where they lived in Washington, D.C., caught fire. The infant Bill was asleep on a couch. His mother was outside. Intense heat and smoke stopped her when she tried to get inside to save her child. A passing man plunged into the smoke and plucked baby Bill off the couch.
"That was the closest call I ever came to losing my life," Hoffman said.
Luck allowed him to avoid the world wars that killed many young men in the first half of the 20th century.
"I was too young for the first one and too old for the second one," Hoffman said.
Hoffman's parents divorced while he was a child. At 14, he left school to work as an office boy for Bell Telephone Co. to help support his mother. When he was 18, his mother died at age 47.
That was 1926. That same year, he enlisted in the U.S. Army's 7th Calvary. His three-year enlistment ended in November 1929, a month after a stock market crash had plunged the nation into the Great Depression.
So Hoffman re-upped, this time to the Army Air Corps. "I flew a PT-13," he said.
Two years of that hitch were at Mather Field in Sacramento, which gave him a fateful introduction to life in California. He was discharged in Louisiana but returned to Sacramento.
He married Luana Naomi Jones. His only child, a daughter, was born in 1934. Hoffman and his wife divorced in 1949.
During the Depression, Hoffman worked briefly for the Works Progress Administration. From 1935 to 1942, he worked for Bercut Richards Cannery. From 1942 to 1969, he worked as a civilian employee at Mather Air Force Base.
His daughter, Sharolyn Medlock, 78, remembers frequent car camping trips during her childhood, often with improvised shelters made from blankets.
"We didn't have tents or anything like that," Medlock said.
Medlock said she was living with her husband in Waco, Texas, when she gave birth to Hoffman's first grandchild in 1953.
A few days later, her dad showed up, unannounced, on her doorstep.
"He never told me he was coming or anything; he wanted to surprise me. He drove all the way from Sacramento to Waco, Texas," she said.
Hoffman remaried in 1955.
After retiring in 1969, he and his wife, Gertrude, moved to West Point to a house on a Christmas tree farm in which they were partners.
They also devoted themselves to travel. Hoffman speaks especially fondly of several months they spent traveling in Europe in 1970.
He put a large camper on the back of a Ford F-250 pickup, and he and Gertrude used it to roam the American West searching for arrowheads and bottles.
Gertrude Hoffman died in 2001. Now Bill Hoffman lives alone. But his 2006 Subaru carries him to friends and family. Each year, he still drives to see his dayghter in Yuma, Ariz.
In 2010, he learned to use an iPad.
Is there any secret to his longevity? Not according to Hoffman.
"I tell them there's no secret what God can do," Hoffman said.
Hoffman said he prays every day. Yet he is not dogmatic about religion. He was baptized Catholic, attended many different mainline Protestant churches during his life and currently counts himself a Mormon.
He's a Mormon who enjoys an occasional glass of wine. And he smoked cigarettes during much of his adulthood.
If asked, Hoffman will say what he's gleaned from his 105 years of experience: "The best advice is to stay away from stress, live your life one day at a time and never hold a grudge against anyone."

Decorating shows have become very popular. Trading Spaces and Extreme Makeover Home Edition, and, um, well, like ten others that I can't name because I don't watch that stuff. But I will say this: there is no reason to ever have a drawer that doesn't open.
I don't know who started the trend of drawer decoys under the kitchen sink that you constantly try to open forgetting that they're not real drawers. Sometimes you think they're stuck. So you end up pulling slightly harder until you remember, "That's not a drawer at all. That just looks like a drawer for no good reason." I HATE that. I know hate is a strong word, but not strong enough to open a fake drawer.
The only possible explanation, since there's no function involved, is form. Designers must believe the place under the sink must look exactly like everything near it. They must believe that simple wood paneling would be too unpretentious for a two-bedroom apartment.
The reason I write this column is because I spent last week in a two-bedroom apartment and tried to open the fake drawers several times. The apartment is maintained by the comedy club I was working, and is a pretty nice place. It's on the second floor of a gorgeous townhouse in Louisville, and outfitted with central air, huge windows, and a deck in the back. There's a nice porch on the first floor, comfortable couches, high ceilings - it's just generally a pleasant place to spend a week. Except for the damn fake drawers.
It took me a few days to figure out where everything belonged. That the silverware was in the top right, the cooking utensils were just below, and the garbage bags were in the drawer across the way. And while discovering all of this, I went for the phonies several times. After the first time, I got a little annoyed. After the second time, I got very annoyed. After the third time I tried to open a drawer that doesn't actually exist, I tried to find the drawer with the knives so I could cut the damn thing open. Or threaten the designer.
"Of course I need to carve two holes into each of your cheeks. Your nose is right next to them and has two holes! Think of how silly you look without everything matching exactly! What's that? Things don't NEED to match exactly? Thank you. You may go now."
I realized I wasn't having trouble because I was in an unfamiliar place. It was because the drawers existed. I just moved out of a two-bedroom apartment after a year of living there. And every now and then, I'd still try to open the sink. I tried it the first day in my new place, too.
There's nothing behind the fake drawers but pipes. And I've even seen some with handles. That's how important it is to a kitchen designer to have everything look exactly alike. Well, everything but the rest of the kitchen. If the sink can look like a sink instead of a counter, why does the area below the sink have to look like the area below the counter? I'm sure they covered that on an episode of Extreme Makeover, but I was too busy trying to cut open a fake drawer.
If I was ever on Trading Spaces, I would have the carpenter redesign a kitchen with no fake drawers. And my neighbors would come back and I would be a hero. They'd hoist me on their shoulders and say, "Finally! No more wasting time trying to open something that can not be opened!" And then I'd get back to my place to see a blue and red checked velvet sofa and wallpaper made out of laminated paper towels.
Okay, so I've seen the show a few times.
I actually met Paige Davis at a party once. For those of you who do not know who that is (like me, before that party), she hosts the show. She's a very nice woman, and she's married to a very cool Broadway actor. I only tell you this because his name is Patrick Page, making her Paige Page. Or "Page Two."
I haven't spoken to the Pages in a while, but maybe I should. I can ask her if anyone on the show has ever complained about the drawerless drawers. Or maybe someone else reading this is an interior designer and can explain the history behind a pointless no-drawer.
And they'll have time to do it at length while I'm searching for the knives.

Backe Hands Ex-Team a loss, and wake-up Call
I want to start tonight's blog by thankng the Rays and their staff for a fantastic evening at Gameworks in Ybor City on Sunday night.
I know all the Rays' Season Ticketholders' will agree it was a great night with prizes, games and outstanding foods galore.
The chocolate fountains decked in the Rays' light blue,yellow and white color scheme was a true hit both to the tastebuds and the eyes.
Players' like Edwin Jackson, Scott Kazmir, Justin Ruggiano, Gary Glover, Grant Balfour, Matt Garza and Andy Sonnanstine came and spent time with the Fans. Oh, and Jonny Gomes was stationed at the front bar and was buzy with photo ops the entire night.
Rays Manager Joe Maddon was also there to hold court with the Rays faithful about the game and his views.
Thank you again to all the Rays staffers and the front office for offering such a great time at the halfway mark in our home 2008 schedule.
Trivia Fact of the Night:
Tony Cloninger is the only pitcher to ever hit 2 grand slams in the same game. He did it with the Atlanta Braves on July 3, 1966.
The Rays let a good pitching performance by Scott Kazmir get away by not getting the usual timely hits and runs and ended up losing to the Astros on Sunday. Kazmir pitched 5.2 innings, and gave up 4 hits for 3 runs against the Astros. He also got 7 strikeouts to move up to 18th plce on th AL strikeout list with 68 K's. Considering Kazmir missed about 4 starts due to his elbow strain, he might be on track to defend his A L Strikeout crown from last season.
I heard a Ray's fan before the game on Sunday call Rays rookie Evan Longoria ,"The Natural." If he keeps hitting like this, and fielding like it is routine plays as usual, I can see him getting that moniker for a long time with the team.
Longoria hit his 12th homer of the season to leftcenter in the 2nd inning off Astro's starter, Brandon Backe.
Longoria had worked the count to 3-1 before Backe threw a soft curve over the plate, and Evan deposited it in Section 145 for a 2-run homer. Eric Hinske, who has walked on 4 pitches also scored on the play for the Rays. The blast tied Evan with Hinske for the team lead in homers, and also tied him for the MLB rookie lead with the Red's Joey Votto, and Geovany Soto of the Cubs.
B J Upton has some of the most misleading staistics on the Rays this season. This is a guy who some publications had thought might be the Rays first "30-30" guy this season. That has not materialized yet, but some of his stats do show an aggressive nature and some play discipline at times. But his numbers are all over the place and did not show the consistant nature needed for the Rays right now in their 3 or 4 hitter.
B J is first in the AL in being caught stealing with 9, but is also 3rd in steals with 22 for the year. He is also currently ranked 8th in the AL in On-Base Percentage (OPS) at .399, and is tied with Eric Hinske for top RBI's on he Rays with 38 this year. Upton is also not in the top 30 in extra base hits this year.
His outfield play has been remarkable going to the ball on a run, or over his head and running to the ball. But, his play with the ball in front of him, or communicating from his centerfield position have led to a few errors and hits for the opposition. B J is currently ted foir 1st with 8 outfield asists this year.
Upton is still learning the ways of playing center in the big leagues, and he is getting better every game, but at some point you have to take the gloves off and tell him to be aggressive coming in on the ball and demanding the ball with his voice if he has a play on it on the gaps. He will get better with time, and might just be one of the leagues best in a few seasons.
I really hate it when a bad play by the opposition gets turned 180 degrees and becomes a positive for them. Case in point on Sunday, Dioner Navarro reached base in the 4th inning with a double to center. Gabe Gross comes up next and lines a ball to right that trickles a bit to righfielder Hunter Pence.
Pence not known for his throwing arm , get an ugly and lazy throw to home redirected inflight about a quarter of the way up the line towards third base. Navarro is trying to score from second, and is way ahead of the throw to the plate, but as he rounds third, the ball comes up the line and meets him in stride to be tagged out by Astros' catcher Humberto Quintero for an out.
In a perfect world, Navarro would have the wheels to beat the throw, but a bad throw turned into an out by pure luck, not by skill. So Pence ended up with an outfield assist on the play and should consider it a gift from the Rays.
After Sunday's contest, the Rays made a roster move in an effort to bring in some infield help for the Marlins series. Starting shortstop Jason Bartlett will miss a few games to be with his wife for the birth of their child.
The Rays sent Justin Ruggiano back to the Durham Bulls and brought up Ben Zobrist as an insurance policy if and when Bartlett leaves the team. Zobrist will play in place of Bartlett until his return during the Pittsburgh Pirates series this weekend.
During the homestand, I met a few fans who were Chicago Cubs fans becuase they could notet the Rays telecasts all the time in the Fort Meyers, Naples area of the state.
Well, as of June 29th, the Rays will be WXCW-TV. CW-6 will be te latest member in the growing Rays Network broadcast team. The station canbe viewed on Cable Channel 6 in Ft. Meyers, Cape Coral and Naples. In Port Charlotte, it is located on channel 11 as well as on the over-the-air antenna station 46.
Both these stations will have a select number of Rays games for the rest of the season. Check yourlocal listings for te games to be broadcast in this new Rays region.

Yes! Quite a treat, i learning! I sometimes will do that to myself with tying a new pattern or series of flies, in that I take a small box of only those flies to fish, no less then a half day! You learn to fish flies top to bottom and in all means of presentation, until it catches! That could be a great Fishing Derby" idea at a gathering! Draw a number from one hat to tag your box, then each person draw a number from a second hat to see which box you fish that day!
At the end, the guy catching the most "fish points"(1-pt per fish; 1-pt per inch of the one fish they chose, but with no later culling for a bigger fish!). So the winner, he picks up all the left over flies, to take as prize! Cost you two doz. of one pattern to get in!, Half go into a regular fly swap; the other 12, in to the Derby Boxes, to start!
So.... When and were will the next "2017 Great American Spring Fly Fling and Derby", happen!!
I post the challenge!!
We have time to plan!!!!
So as not to High-jack the prior post: Challenge!

Pop star Prince was left red-faced on Friday when he forgot to stock up his wallet with cash and was unable to pay his bill at a top New York restaurant.
The "Purple Rain" hitmaker headed for a meal with a pal at chef Michael White's Costata eatery but when it came time to settle the bill, he realized he had no money with him.
A member of Prince's security team eventually explained the embarrassing mishap to the restaurant manager, who agreed the singer could settle the debt the following day, according to New York Post gossip column Page Six.

EasyDNS Continues To Fight Bogus Website Seizures By City Of London Police After Verisign Issues 'No Decision'
from the a-decision-of-no-decision? deptBack in October, we wrote about the absolutely ludicrous situation in which the City of London Police ordered registrars to take down a bunch of websites and point them to a page designated by the police (which pointed to some commercial services in London). There was no court order. There was no court involved at all. No one had been charged, sued, tried or anything. Just the City of London Police, their brand new "Intellectual Property Crime Unit" (set up at the urging of the RIAA), and a demand that the website domains be yanked and that the registrars bar them from being transferred out. While some registrars, such as the incredibly misnamed "Public Domain Registry," caved immediately to the completely bogus request, EasyDNS strongly and publicly refused (telling the police to come back with a court order) while also questioning (1) whatever happened to due process and (2) how any registrar could do this when it clearly violated ICANN's policy on transferring domain names.
Given this, EasyDNS went even further and filed a "request for enforcement" against Public Domain Registry, for locking the domains from being transferred out (and to EasyDNS). As EasyDNS notes, PDR's decision to lock the domains, despite being asked to do so by the police, violated ICANN's policies. ICANN's policies are pretty straightforward: the only times a registrar can deny a transfer-out request is in a few specific cases. And "asked by random police" isn't one. Instead there's "court order by a court of competent jurisdiction." But, again, there's been no court order.
Given this, the fact that PDR is denying to transfer the domains to EasyDNS it seems like an open and shut case that PDR is violating the rules. Verisign, which oversees all of this, should have made quick work of this in telling PDR to get on with the transfers. Instead... it totally punted, issuing one of the most bizarre statements you can imagine:
Subject: TDRS Case 45337 – Decision Rendered/ No Decision [ ref:_00DA0Zmyt._500A0GS9Pe:ref ]Got that? Verisign reviewed everything and it's issued its decision, which is no decision. How very Abbott and Costello of them. Furthermore, the "reason" is even more bizarre. Basically, PDR -- the registry accused of violating the rules -- did not provide sufficient data. Huh? That's like saying that someone charged with a crime automatically gets off if they don't provide the evidence against themselves, no matter what evidence the police have.
Please be advised that Verisign has completed its review of Request for Enforcement Case # 45337 and has rendered a decision of No Decision.
REASON FOR DECISION: Pursuant to Section 3.3.4 of the Registrar Transfer Dispute Resolution Policy, the data provided by the Respondent is inconclusive as to the issues presented.
From here, it appears the process was:
EasyDNS: Here's our request for enforcement with lots of evidence that PDR folded like a cheap card table when some power hungry police force told them to shut down sites and block transfers despite no court order. This violates ICANN's transfer rules.EasyDNS is going to continue to push the matter, however, because it notes the dangerous consequences of Verisign's ridiculous non-decision.
Verisign: PDR, what happened?
PDR Hmm?
Verisign: Well, EasyDNS, we are issuing a no decision decision, because PDR's answer is inconclusive.
We feel we have an obligation to push this to an appeal now, because otherwise it means that Registrars can arbitrarily slam the doors on outbound transfers, ignore any enforcement requests from the registry and then be granted decisions of "no decisions", thus allowing them to simply keep the domains hostage.
Now there's an easy way to reduce customer churn – to zero.

Unique Architecture Concept, Edge House By Mobius Architects
Hi, buddies! This time we will see some wonderful designs with amazing architectures. The designs are not limited to homes or villas only, but also train and private libraries in the home. I hope you just curious like me. Let us see these amazing designs!
As I said above if I was interested in the two objects; train and a library which I will discuss it first. An Indian railway called Maharaja's Express has a design that unusual and super luxurious. Look at the design of the wagon train that is made up of living and working that do not look like a wagon train in general. The carriage is designed very differently and has a great beauty.
Look at the living room couch in the wagon train in white. The long enough sofa has a simple design but the actual seat cushion consisting of various motifs and colors that make it looks very beautiful. Do you agree with me? In front of the couch, there is a table of wood which are decorated by beautiful and fresh greenery. For me, that makes this room looks high class and chic is the lighting. With spot lights that are designed not too big, the room looks very cozy and warm. Plus more with two table lamps that are large enough with in color of white. I think the lighting is really incredible.
Another design that is no less enchanting is the design of the library in the house with a fairly complete bookshelves. The bookshelves is made of wood that looks really blend with the theme of the room made entirely of wood. There is a hanging lamp that looks unique white color with less substantial in the middle of the room. Its unique design is a fireplace in the middle of the big bookcase. The design is very modern and creative. Fireplace makes the room feels very warm and cozy. Read more »

Many homes have been featured in movies, but perhaps no other pad's claim to movie fame is as grisly as this property in Lincoln Park. According to Curbed, this Chicago home, on the market for $3.699 million, is where "The Fugitive" murder scene was shot.
If you can forget for a minute that murder scene that found Harrison Ford's character's wife (played by Sela Ward) murdered, you'll actually be pretty impressed and totally not creeped out by the home. The spread boasts five bedrooms and five baths over 6,100 square feet of living space. There are walls of windows, as well as a glassed-floor catwalk that sits over the home's first floor. With an indoor swimming pool, sauna, and even an elevator, this Chicago pad is sure to impress, even non-Harrison Ford fans.
The property is even listed at a discount as the original list price has been recently chopped by $251,000. Any takers?

Ben asks:
"I am reading your blog posts one at a time starting with day one. I am on The Importance of Bios and I have a question. How do you come up with all of that background information?"
I realize that only people from the deep south will understand this analogy but "grits without salt is WORSE than bland." That is how I view family trees that don't include biographical information. Please don't reduce your ancestors to a laundry list of vital statistics. These were real people that lead interesting lives. [Off my soapbox now]. So how do you find this background info and how do you incorporate it into a biography?
Researching the time period and the location is ESSENTIAL
You must take the time to research what was going on when your ancestor lived. It will help you understand why he did the things that he did. Read local history books. You will find a lot of these on Google Books, Internet Archive and Family History Books (FamilySearch) that are out of copyright. If your ancestor was a Union or Confederate soldier, read about the Civil War from their point of view. If you ancestor was a planter or a farmer, read books about what it was like to be a planter or a farmer during that time period. I recently wrote a blog post about Childbirth in the 18th Through 20th Centuries that recommends two books I think are essential to understand what the females in your family went through just to have babies. If your family migrated, read books about what it was like on the trail. Did the family attend church? Religion was an important part of many people's lives and you want to include that if you can. Knowing the denomination will also help you understand why they did the things they did. You need to take the time to read up on that particular denomination and its history.
Topography and the community can enlighten you even further
Did they live in a city? A small town? Out in the middle of nowhere? Did they live in a valley? Was it hilly? Was there a river or lake nearby? Knowing what type of community they lived in and what the land was like can give you some insight on what type of house they may have lived in. You might be able to find some copyright free photographs of both the area where they lived as well as sample houses that you can add to your biography that will add interest.
Go the extra mile
If you see that your ancestor was a farmer on the federal census, try finding him on the agricultural schedule. Here is where you will find information about acreage, types of crops grown, kinds of animals raised etc. That will tell you a lot about his daily life. Construct maps showing where everyone lived in relation to everyone else based on land descriptions. Put together a timeline of your ancestor to make his life easy to follow (but you still need to have a narrative). Search records that you really don't think would apply to your family. I was in the Columbia County courthouse awhile back and noticed that they had arrest records, logs of police encounters and lunacy books. Just thumbing through I saw people's names that I knew. I was searching coroner's reports for a specific person and found another person I wasn't expecting. These unusual record sets will definitely spice up your narrative!
Read between the lines
Did your person of interest have extended family living with him in the census records? Elderly parents or newlywed children? That gives you some insight on the family dynamics. How much property did he own, did he own slaves? This can give you a sense of wealth. Always pay attention to who went to school and who didn't and who is listed as illiterate. This can mean many things. Were there no schools in the area? (check the other families living nearby). Was the family poor and needed the children to stay home to work? Did your person of interest have some sort of disability? Some families simply didn't see the need for any formal education. When you have multiple possibilities you can discuss them in your narrative. One thing to look out for are children who didn't go to school in earlier censuses but are listed as being able to read and write in the later ones. This can indicate children who were taught to read and write at home by their parents which was very common.
At the minimum you should have a biography for every one of your direct line ancestors. Once you get into the habit of writing them up it actually gets a lot easier. As you do the research, you will get to "know" your ancestor better and you will want to tell others about him/her.

Michael Brantley homers twice in support of Justin Masterson as the Indians top Kansas City.
Every fifth day, Indians manager Terry Francona knows he will get innings, maximum effort and nothing but smiles from his No. 1 starter.
And he usually gets something more important from Justin Masterson — a win.
"There's an expectation," Francona said. "He's earned that."
Masterson managed to hang around for 6 1/3 innings and win for the sixth time at home, leading Cleveland to a 6-3 victory over the Kansas City Royals on Wednesday night.
Masterson (9-5) sidestepped trouble in the first few innings without giving up any runs and improved to 6-1 with a 2.29 ERA in nine starts at Progressive Field. The affable right-hander struck out eight while allowing two runs and nine hits.
Only Detroit's Max Scherzer has more wins in the AL than Masterson, who has been one of the few constants on a streaky Indians squad.
"On the day he pitches, we feel pretty good," said Francona, who managed Masterson in Boston. "He's earned that, for us to feel that way. His consistency with his stuff this year has been tremendous and we always know about his willingness to compete. It's fun to watch.
"I've got to try not to get caught up in how fond I am of him when he's pitching because when he comes off I'm always smiling at him. It's hard not to."
Michael Brantley hit a pair of solo homers and drove in three runs for the up-and-down Indians, who moved within 3 1/2 games of first-place Detroit in the AL Central. Mike Aviles drove in two runs and Michael Bourn scored twice for Cleveland, which has won six of eight after dropping eight in a row.
Unable to get a hit for four innings off Luis Mendoza (2-4), Brantley homered in the fifth and the Indians added three runs in the sixth. Brantley connected again in the eighth.
The Royals won the series opener, but dropped the final two and made some critical mistakes that cost them.
"We feel we gave one away last night," Kansas City manager Ned Yost said. "Tonight was a different story. They just beat us."
Masterson, as close to an ace as the Indians have in their rotation, is 5-0 in his last six starts at home and has won nine of his past 13 decisions in Cleveland.
"It's nice," he said. "It's probably because I get to hang out with my wife and daughter before the game. It just seems to work out. I don't know what the science is behind it. My bad games have all come on the road."
It wasn't a certainty he would survive the first few innings as the Royals put two runners on in the first and second but failed to score. Kansas City stranded eight runners in the first five innings and Masterson got a big defensive play by first baseman Mark Reynolds to get out of a pickle in the fourth.
Masterson was lifted in the seventh, and although he was far from dominant, Indians fans gave him a warm ovation as he headed to the dugout.
"Masterson is our ace, no question about it," Brantley said. "When our ace throws, we've got to win those games. He threw great tonight and kept us in the ballgame and that's all you can ask."
The Indians, who have struggled to score lately, didn't get their first hit off Mendoza until the fifth and then chased the right-hander during their three-run sixth.
With two on and none out, Aviles hit a ball to deep left that probably should have been caught by Alex Gordon, but the two-time Gold Glove winner dropped it, allowing Drew Stubbs to score and tie it at 2.
"It's a ball that needs to be caught, especially in that situation," Gordon said. "It was towards the wall but it was off my glove and I should have caught it. No question. It would have been a big out and could have changed the inning around."
Jason Kipnis followed with a well-timed bunt single to load the bases and Mendoza threw four straight balls to Carlos Santana, forcing in Bourn with the go-ahead run.
Tim Collins then came in and allowed Brantley's sacrifice fly that made it 4-2, but after giving up a single, he kept the Royals within two by striking out pinch hitter Ryan Raburn and getting Lonnie Chisenhall on a groundout.
However, the Indians tacked on an insurance run in the seventh when Bourn doubled, stole third and scored on Aviles' fly ball to right.
Cleveland also got solid relief work from Bryan Shaw, who pitched 1 2-3 scoreless innings.
Mendoza, who had just one win in his previous six starts, coasted through the first four innings, allowing only a two-out walk in the first. He was handling the Indians with ease and appeared in complete control.
The right-hander didn't make a mistake until Brantley turned on his fastball leading off the fifth, lining a shot into the right-field seats to trim Kansas City's lead to 2-1.
"The first five innings were about as good as you can get," Yost said. "He just kind of fell apart in the sixth after Stubbs got the hit."
NOTES: Francona said 1B Nick Swisher (shoulder) will hit off a tee on Thursday, take batting practice Friday and will play Saturday as long as he's pain free. ... Indians closer Chris Perez will not be activated from the disabled list on Friday as originally planned. Perez struggled with his mechanics during a rough, one-inning outing — five runs, three homers — at Double-A Akron on Tuesday and the club wants him to throw a bullpen session before deciding the next move. Francona said Perez probably will make another rehab appearance. ... The Royals are in a stretch of playing 13 of 15 games within the AL Central.

Jantina Holleman of Holland, Mich., who was a member of the Hope music faculty for 41 years until retiring in 1987, died on Friday, Feb. 24. She was 91.
She joined the faculty in 1946, when the department was located in Walsh Hall, a converted Holland residence, on Ninth Street. During her years at the college she helped shape the music-education curriculum, creating a church music curriculum, beginning a choral conducting course, and founding and managing the music-education curriculum library. She also founded the College Chorus in 1952 and helped re-shape the college's Introduction to Music course to make it more accessible to the overall student body. In addition, she performed regularly in faculty recitals and concerts at Hope throughout her tenure, and was often a featured recitalist in the Holland community as well.
In 1951, with colleague Dr. Anthony Kooiker, who died in October 2007, she helped reorganize the college's Christmas Vespers program, which had started in 1941, into the form in which it continues today as one of Hope's most beloved and popular traditional events. Interest in the event is so high that the college has scheduled four services each year for several years, regularly drawing a capacity audience to Dimnent Memorial Chapel for each.
She was born on July 22, 1920, in Springfield, S.D., to James and Jantina Cornelia Prins Alingh Holleman. She attended Kirkwood Country School and graduated from Springfield High School in 1937. She attended Morningside College in Sioux City, Iowa, during 1937-38, receiving her teaching diploma from Southern State College in Springfield, S.D., in 1939. She subsequently taught first and second grade in Reliance, S.D., and Avon, S.D.
She returned to school and completed her bachelor's degree in liberal arts and music at Central College in Pella, Iowa, in 1943. She then taught music at Sioux Center High School in Iowa, also teaching music at the elementary level and high-school history to help address staffing shortages during the war years.
In 1945, she attended Columbia University in New York City, where she received her master's degree in music/piano performance in 1946. She was recruited to join the Hope faculty by President Dr. Irwin Lubbers, who had been Central College's president when she was a student there.
In addition to her teaching and performing while at Hope, she was involved in professional associations such as the International Society of Music Education and the Michigan Music Teachers Association, the latter of which she served as chair of collegiate auditions. She conducted additional studies in music at Amsterdam Conservatory in the Netherlands, and also during a sabbatical studied music education in Switzerland, Austria, Hungary, the Netherlands and England.
She was a member of Third Reformed Church in Holland, and was the first woman to serve the congregation as an elder. She was also active in the American Association of University Women, attending state and national meetings.
Survivors include her twin brother, James William Holleman, and his wife, Janine, of Oak Ridge, Tenn.; her nieces and nephew, Catherine Branch of Providence, R.I., Francoise Degnan of Grosse Pointe Park, Mich., and James Alan Holleman of Jackson, Mich.; and a grand-nephew and –niece, Kellen and Janey Degnan, also of Grosse Pointe Park.
Memorial contributions may be given to Hope for The Jantina Holleman Early Childhood Music Education Fund.
A memorial service in her honor will be held at a later date. Funeral arrangements are being handled by the Langeland-Sterenberg Funeral Home.

Grinding The Cube.
The N64 got screwed when it comes to the Tony Hawk games. I mean, the
games were fine, but they didn't come out until well after the release of the
Playstation versions. By the time the N64 versions came out, most N64 owners
had played the game on a friend's PSX or just went out and bought their own.
So when Activision decided to release THPS 3 on the Gamecube as a launch
title just a few weeks after the PS2 release, millions wept tears of joy. Except
Luigi, who didn't need the stress
of such a cool cat moving into his neighborhood.
indeed, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 continues the somewhat disturbing tradition
of wowing the difficult-to-wow GR staff by taking advantage of the new hardware
and pumping out another classic. The champ is still on top of its game, and
with its fantastic graphics, control and gameplay, remains undefeated.
The amateur detectives out there might notice that this review bears a striking
similarity to the review for the
PS2 version. That's because it's almost exactly the same review, which in
turn is because this is almost exactly the same game. For the most part, the
graphics and gameplay are identical to its PS2 brother. However, the difference
in hardware leads to some notable differences in the overall experience.
If you have never played a Tony Hawk game, you must be from the Moon
and probably don't understand Earth language. Rest assured that you should go
find a copy of one of the older games and become familiar with it, pronto.
THPS 3 keeps the basics from the series intact. You pick a skater and
take to 8 massive levels (with several more to unlock) in an effort to accomplish
a number of goals and nabbing extra stat points. More goals lead to more levels
and the stat points can be divvied out in nine statistical categories.
The hallmark of the series has been its terrific level design, and nothing has changed here. The first level, The Foundry, is filled to the rim with ramps and rails, a nice introduction to the game. From there, however, things get tougher and tougher. Whether you're busting up in the treetops of the Canada level or riding the plethora of rails in the Airport, you'll be right at home with the best level design around. It seems that no matter where you are on the level, there are plenty of things to do and combos to try.
The setup is the same as past versions with three medal competitions. For
that matter, the general game flow is pretty much identical to earlier games.
You'll spend a ton of time just trying to nail the goals on each level in order
to unlock videos and new characters. I would have preferred a little more innovation
here, but the fact remains that it's tons of fun.
But even THPS vets will find THPS 3 to be a new challenge, because
it assumes you're familiar with past iterations. While the basics are the same,
there are some important new changes that lead to a whole new level of madcap
trick mania.
The biggest change is the 'revert' maneuver, which allows you to link vertical
tricks together. By pressing the Right Trigger right as you land an air trick,
you can continue the trick into a manual, then off for more combos. It might
seem minor, but when you get good with the revert you'll wind up with some incredible
combinations and monster point totals.
To match this new skill, the point requirements on some of the levels are insane. Los Angeles asks for a 400,000-point 'Sick' score. It makes you scour the level for the best lines, and even then it's a tall order. This game was obviously made for fans, not newbies.
But newbie or otherwise, all will agree that it looks terrific. The framerate
blazes at 60 fps with rare hiccups. The skaters look great, particularly when
balancing on lips or manuals, swaying from side to side trying to maintain their
balance Cirque Du Soleil style. The details are excellent. The colors
in the Gamecube version are a little washed-out compared to the bright PS2 version,
but unless you're intently staring at the two versions running side by side,
you won't notice much difference at all.
graphical depth can be found in the enhanced Create-a-Skater, which gives you
a bigger wardrobe than Joan Rivers at the Oscars. From height and weight to
hats, glasses, tattoos, socks, backpacks and kneepads, the creator is reminiscent
of the one from the Acclaim WWF games. That one ruled, and so does this
one. I actually made a skater that looks eerily like me, minus the super-sized
head to hold my massive brain.
They even managed to fix a few old problems by adding other camera angles
and the much needed 'free look' ability. Yep, you can finally just stand there
and look around until you spot the secret tape perched several hundred feet
Past THPS games have been applauded for their eclectic, smart soundtracks.
Well keep clapping, because THPS 3 offers more audio goodies. From the
obligatory pop punk to wacky hip-hop to just wacky in general, the tunes are
once again solid, fun and varied. Plus, they threw in the Ramones' Blitzkrieg
Bop for old-schoolers like yours truly.
When you tire of the single player, you can always grab a friend and play
a good old-fashioned game of HORSE, Graffiti or Trick Attack. Add to that King
of the Hill matches (essentially an intense game of tag) and Slap, where you
just run into each other at high speeds. They're all decent fun, but the real
meat of multiplayer lies in the innovative online multiplayer option, the first
of its kind…
…on the PS2, that is. Here is where the two versions differ the most. The
revolutionary online component is sadly missing from the Gamecube version. This
isn't really the fault of the developers so much as the Gamecube itself – it
doesn't have any USB ports or built-in modem, so the online gaming aspect of
THPS 3 is pretty much screwed.
The other big difference lies in the Gamecube controller and its undersized
(and largely underused) D-pad. Tony Hawk has always been easier to play
using the D-pad than the analog stick in order to really nail the tricks, but
the puny D-pad on the Gamecube controller just doesn't work as well as the standard
one for the PS2. Plus, the all-important revert button has been combined with
the rotation buttons due to the lack of the extra R and L triggers (R2 and L2
on the PS2) on the GC controller. When you try to nail a revert, you also rotate
a little. This can cause disaster unless the timing is perfect.
While these gripes are attributed more to the hardware than the game programming
or design, they are gripes nonetheless and make for a slightly less thrilling
experience than the PS2 version. If you own a Gamecube, you should own this
game, no question about it. However, the lack of online connectivity and the
somewhat tougher controls lead to the second-best version of THPS
3 currently on the market. Still a monster game, though.
