Do you feel behind, stressed, and overwhelmed all the time? I've been there. And in a recent survey, 65% of people told us that's exactly how they feel, too.
Or maybe things aren't that bad in your life. Maybe you're pretty productive.
You'd love to feel less busy and have more free time to spend on your goals, your hobbies, and your family… not to mention taking better care of yourself.
But with so many urgent tasks popping up every day, you feel lucky just to finish your to-do list — much less spend time searching the blogosphere for ways to be more productive.
I totally get that. As a wife, mother of 5 kids, homeschooling parent, and a co-founder of our family-owned business, I know how crazy life can be.
I know the disappointment of feeling like you aren't checking all the boxes.
I also know how satisfying it can feel to crawl into bed with a good book, on days when you're proud of all you've accomplished.
We all have good days sometimes.
And if you're looking for ways to have more of them, ways to feel more productive and on top of things, ways to get more done in less time and reach your personal goals faster, we've created something you're going to love.
We've scoured the internet for the best eBooks, eCourses, worksheets and more about how to:
We were looking for systems and strategies that worked in the real world. Sure, some celebrities and famous bloggers can afford private chefs, au pairs, and maids. But I've never had any of those things. Have you? All together, we found 46 resources that were realistic, practical, and truly inspiring. Resources that can make your life more joyful and less stressful — at home and at work.
But thanks to a special partnership with the smart people who created them, you can get the entire collection for only $49.97 in the Ultimate Productivity Bundle.
We know how busy you are, which is why we've gone through every product in the bundle, pulled out the key insights, and used them to create time-saving cheat sheets.
If reading an entire eBook or watching an eCourse is too much for you right now, the cheat sheets can help you get started right away.
And even if you do have some free time, the cheat sheets are a great way to learn faster and identify the products where you want to dive deeper.

Women in Morehouse Parish now have another option when it comes to having an obstetrician and gynecologist. Not only does Dr. Curtis Sanders offer these services with an attitude of quality care, he is a native of Morehouse, giving him an added facet to knowing the needs of the area.
Dr. Sanders grew up in Bastrop and Mer Rouge, graduating from Delta High School in 1987. He continued his schooling at Southern University, where he earned a degree in biology. From there, Sanders went to the University of Kansas for medical school and his residency in Shreveport before working at LSU Medical Center in Monroe for 12 years in the ob department.
Word got to Morehouse General Hospital about Sanders and his roots in Morehouse Parish and he was called to come take a look around.
"I always had an interest in coming back home to practice medicine," Sanders said. "When the hospital called me, I knew it was a perfect fit."
Initially, Sanders was studying to be an urologist rather than an ob/gyn, until fate intervened.
"I had to deliver a baby and the experience I had doing that and with the parents, I knew immediately that's wanted I wanted to do," Sanders continued.
Morehouse General is a hub for health care in the region and according to Deborah Beaver, Director of Marketing and Physician Relations for MGH, the hospital is committed to bringing quality services for women and children in Morehouse and throughout the region.
"We have patients who are coming from outlying areas to receive treatment and one of the most needed services is for women and children," Beaver said. "Dr. Sanders is a great asset to the medical community and his office is equipped with all the modern technology needed in order to treat moms-to-be as well as women in general."
Sanders has goals of making his practice a center point for OB care and wants future patients to be aware his philosophy regarding treatment.
"I want everyone to feel as if they can come to this office and receive the best possible care," Sanders said. "It is important to me that we are known for very, very high ob care that is personalized to each individual," Sanders said.
Moms-to-be using Dr. Sanders should also feel extremely comfortable when they deliver their new additions, as well. The Morehouse General labor and delivery wing provides that comfort with a great deal of care and experience.
The wing, which has four rooms for moms to labor and deliver without having to move from one room to another and four rooms for the moms to rest postpartum. The nursery is in the process of being upgraded to handle babies who in the past have had to be transferred to a different hospital due to illness.
The present nursery is able to provide care to healthy babies born close to their due dates. It provides routine medical care, including assessment and state-mandated newborn screening.
The upgrade to the nursery means that care can be provided for babies born around 32 weeks gestational age or greater and for full-term babies who need close monitoring or IV antibiotics after birth. Special care nurseries can treat babies with some health problems of prematurity, such as jaundice and trouble eating or staying warm.
At present, the nursery can hold up to 15 babies at a time. Recently is was almost full with just three moms delivering a set of triplets and two sets of twins, all on the same day.
The labor department also has all of the latest technology available to monitor patients.

Mary's Books : Magical Mysteries
Next Door Witch

White Magic
July 1997
Amanda is only the best rider at Stillmeadow Farms. She has an awesome chance to be the first African–American to qualify at the upcoming Olympic trials. Natalie would do anything to be on the Olympic equestrian team— even use Denny's magic to change her cute little mare into an Olympic champion.
Angel Condemned
The fifth novel in the Beaufort & Company Mystery series. In stores now!
"The intrepid heroine deals with nasty demons, haughty nephilim and evil with aplomb as if that is an everyday occurrence. She anchors the whimsical paranormal tale with solid footing in two realms, but then again she has friends in high places." — The Mystery Gazette
Angel's Verdict
The fourth book in the acclaimed Beaufort and Company Mystery series — out now!
"The latest Beaufort & Company mystery is sure to please series fans and newcomers alike. Stanton has penned a tale that will keep the reader's interest to the very end and even experienced mystery readers will say, 'Didn't see that coming!' at critical points. Larger-than-life characters—human and temporal—infuse the story with humor and empathy." — Romantic Times (4 stars)
Avenging Angels
"Stanton's third Beaufort & Company mystery is a gem. It's an original and thought-provoking concept, and Stanton's imagination knows no bounds. Her characters — both dead and alive — are ones you want to spend time with and get to know better." — Romantic Times (4-1/2 stars)
The third book in the series! On sale now!
Angel's Advocate
"Another fabulous entry in the paranormal Beaufort & Company series…a very enjoyable and fast paced novel that is filled with unconventional characters…definitely one of the top ten books of the year!"
— The Baryon Review of Books
Defending Angels
"Intriguing and wholly different and original. I was hooked from page one. Defending Angels is at once charming, erudite and chilling. This book should give Mary Stanton the same kind of cult following usually reserved for Charlaine Harris!"
— Rhys Bowen, award-winning author of The Molly Murphy Mysteries and Her Royal Spyness

MET Ventriloquist: Christina Hendricks
It's that f-cking thing on her shoulder that's the same colour as her hair so when I first starting going through the images and pulled this up I recoiled in horror because I actually thought Phoebe Price tried to crash the event with a ventriloquist dummy.
It is NEVER A COMPLIMENT if I'm mistaking you for Phoebe Price. It is a serious concern if whatever adorns you looks like a creepy talking puppet.
Here is Christina Hendricks bringing some wonderfully luscious breast action to the Met only to spoil them with that... thing. Ruined a great motorboating fantasy, Sapphic style.
Also the makeup sucks. Makes her look old and harsh or something that crawled out of a Perkins to get f-cked by Tiger Woods on her period. Worst cheater taste. Very disappointing. Both.

Our dusty shade of navy, Midnight, will add a dash of scandi-style to your bedroom, and has been a crowd favourite since, well, forever. It's a soft and calming colour that pairs perfectly back with White for a crisp contrast, or tonally with a shade of Dove Grey or Charcoal.

Cotton is naturally hypoallergenic, odour-resistant and doesn't go through any harsh chemical treatments. Cotton fibres are really easy to maintain, breathable yet absorbent, and soft yet durable.
Cotton fibres soften wash after wash, so like a nice wine, they get even better with age (but really, we've never been able to keep wine around long enough to compare.)
The cotton plants we use produce a 'Long Staple Cotton' which is more commonly known as Egyptian Cotton. These plants give us longer, more luxurious yarns than a standard cotton plant.
Since these longer strands are easier to weave, it produces a much softer texture, is less scratchy and won't pill like cheaper quality sheets.
The end result is a finer, smoother and more durable fabric, which means our sheets will feel better and last longer.
Most high thread count fabrics use short yarns that have been spun together to increase the thread count.
The common understanding of thread count is the high the better, but actually a high thread count can be a dead giveaway of a lower quality fabric because of the poor quality yarns that have been used to keep the thread count high.
The finished fabric of our Long Staple Weave is more porous, therefore more air can pass through which avoids that stuffy feeling at night. For our Long Staple Yarns, a 400 thread count is the perfect weave for our fabric to perform at its best.
Our fabrics have been woven together using a luxurious Sateen weave.
In a Sateen Weave, the yarns are woven together by passing over three times, then under once, allowing for a flatter yarn surface area. This results in more surface area of flat yarns, which is super soft to touch.
Our Sateen weave carries a slight sheen which perfectly compliments the unique colours in our range.

Prioritizing areas for action in the field of population-based prevention of childhood obesity
A set of tools for Member States to determine and identify priority areas for action
The prevalence of overweight and obesity has increased substantially over the past three decades and is now considered as one of the most serious health challenges of the early 21st century.
While the need for preventive action is increasingly recognised, policy implementation often occurs in a non-systematic, ad hoc manner. The purpose of this document is to provide a set of tools for Member States to determine and identify priority areas for action in the field of population-based prevention of childhood obesity. The tools presented are intended to facilitate a prioritization process that is both systematic and locally relevant.
Three priority-setting approaches are described in this document: the WHO Stepwise framework for preventing chronic disease, the Modified Problem/Solution Tree (mPAST) process and the ANGELO (Analysis Grid for Elements Linked to Obesity) process. All three approaches follow four common steps which include:
- Problem identification and needs analysis
- Identification of potential solutions
- Assessment and prioritization of potential solutions
- Strategy development
While these priority-setting approaches all contain common elements, the contexts in which they are used, the processes they involve, and the technical analyses differ and selection of the most appropriate tool is dependent on the purpose, desired outcomes and criteria to be used for assessment, level of resources and data available.
The document stresses that regardless of the tool selected, due consideration must be given to local, regional or country-specific factors when analysing potential areas for action. Finally, the identification of key stakeholders and the outlining of their potential roles and responsibilities is critical for the prioritization process.
Priority-setting to create a set of recommended, promising policy interventions is an essential part of evidence-informed policy-making; however, it is only the beginning of the process. The recommendations need to be accepted by the community leaders or politicians from different sectors who make the decisions and this usually takes an advocacy effort. Once endorsed, the actions need to be funded and implemented requiring project or programme management skills through a multisectoral implementation process.

Looking out the window at the 14+ inches of snow that fell yesterday. Quite a sight. Looks like it will still be around for Christmas . . . a real treat for the Washington, D.C. area.
Friday was the last show for the year. Since August, I participated in 13 craft fairs around Northern Virginia. Now, it's time to replenish stocks, work on new ideas, and get ready for next year.
Probably the most frequent question I got from customers and others stopping by at fairs was "Do you have a website?" So, here it is -- the Bruce Ciske Pottery website. I hope to keep it current with pictures of new pottery and whatever else comes to mind.

Massachusetts' Freddie Riley sank two free throws with 3 seconds left, but Isaiah Armwood answered with two for the Colonials.
Chaz Williams and Raphiael Putney rallied the Minutemen from a 52-36 deficit with 14:59 left, combining for 26 of Massachusetts' final 40 points. Williams finished with 18 points, Cady Lalanne 15 and Putney 14.
Dwayne Smith scored 15 points, Lasan Kromah 14 and Patricio Garino 12 for George Washington, which led 40-33 at halftime.
Massachusetts retired the jersey of 1996 Naismith Player of the Year Marcus Camby at halftime.

WARWICK — Duane Albro on Tuesday was replaced as CEO of Warwick Valley Telephone, now known as Alteva, by the president of the company, David Cuthbert.
WARWICK — Duane Albro on Tuesday was replaced as CEO of Warwick Valley Telephone, now known as Alteva, by the president of the company, David Cuthbert.
Cuthbert served as the president and CEO of Alteva, headquartered in Philadelphia, before Warwick Valley Telephone acquired it almost two years ago. The company will continue to be based in Warwick, but Cuthbert will work out of Philadelphia.
Albro joined Warwick Valley Telephone as president and CEO in 2007 and became a fixture in Orange County economic development organizations, including the Orange County Partnership and the Orange County Chamber of Commerce. He made no public comment on the leadership change.
His departure comes as the 111-year-old company shifts its focus to Philadelphia. The company recently opened a specialized retail center in the city, where potential customers can test out unified communications tools.
Albro began to share more responsibility with Cuthbert in mid-2012. Cuthbert became president of the company in July and started taking a more visible role in Alteva, including answering questions from investors and analysts on conference calls.
Albro is entitled to a lump-sum severance payment equal to 100 percent of his annual base salary and his annual cash bonus, according to his employment agreement for 2012, the most recent available.
His base salary for 2012 was $375,000.
Warwick Valley Telephone was in free fall when Albro came on board. Its core business lost close to $4 million the year prior, the stock price was approaching a five-year low and customers were jumping ship for competitors.
One of Albro's first moves was taking a hacksaw to Warwick's expenses, renegotiating a union contract and cutting management benefits.
He later acquired USA Datanet, a Syracuse Voice over Internet Protocol company, and then Alteva.
The former CEO also renegotiated an agreement with the company's cash cow, the Orange County-Poughkeepsie Limited Partnership. The new agreement guaranteed Warwick $13.6 million in cash distributions in 2011 and $13 million apiece for 2012 and 2013.
Through the first nine months of 2012, Alteva lost $2.4 million, a performance that would have been far worse if not for the income from the lucrative cellular partnership.
Investment-fund manager Lawrence Goldstein, who owned 2 percent of Warwick Valley Telephone at one point, had long wanted the company to sell its money-losing landline business and keep the partnership.
"Duane Albro was a straight shooter, a hard worker and his work was cut out for him when he was brought into the company," said Goldstein, who sold his stake in the company in 2011.
Despite the new Philadelphia focus, Alteva spokeswoman Jean Beattie said the company plans to continue supporting local community organizations.
Albro is expected to remain on the executive board of the Orange County Partnership, President and CEO Maureen Halahan said.
"It's a terrible loss to Alteva, but Duane continues to be a visionary and shining star in our region," she said.
Alteva is also one of only two diamond-level sponsors of the Orange County Chamber of Commerce.
"Duane is the finest CEO I have ever seen in my life," chamber President John D'Ambrosio said. "He took a company that was in deep trouble financially and turned it around. He did it the old-fashioned way, by being involved in the community."

2013 British & Irish Lions
McGeechan welcomes two-captains concept
Graham Jenkins
November 2, 2012

Lions legend Sir Ian McGeechan has welcomed the prospect of the British & Irish Lions possibly naming a tour captain and then a skipper for the eagerly-anticipated clash with Australia next year.
Lions boss Warren Gatland raised the prospect of the ground-breaking move earlier this week by insisting he would pick the best players for their showdown with the Wallabies and then the captain with form in the lead up to the three-match series and not reputation the deciding factor.
It is not a concept that McGeechan officially adopted during any of the four tours where he acted as head coach but he believes the likely abundance of proven leaders set to be at Gatland's disposal makes it a logical step to take with the likes of Wales captain Sam Warburton, his England counterpart Chris Robshaw and Ireland duo Brian O'Driscoll and Paul O'Connell, who have both captained their country and the Lions, among those set to be in the mix.
"The most important thing is getting the right squad," McGeechan told ESPNscrum. "Once you have that then you look at your best options for captain. I know there is talk of having an initial squad captain and then looking at the Test team and picking a captain for the Tests. There are a number of strong contenders so that is an obvious route to keep open."
Reflecting on his own unrivalled experience in charge of the elite tourists, McGeechan revealed that his captain would more often than not be a clear choice but highlighted the importance of other 'leaders' within the squad.
"I knew the captains fairly early on in my own mind on the tours I had," he said. "The best example is probably Martin Johnson who hadn't captained anybody [in 1997]. I had seen the impact Johnno had had on other players - his own team-mates and opponents - and particularly my team at Northampton when he was playing against us. That was an argument I had to win in some respects but I immediately felt he was the right personality to build a group around."
But McGeechan was also keen to stress the key influence of others who emerged during the course of a tour - in particular the Lions' last visit to Australia in 1989 that produced their most recent victory over the Wallabies.
"Australia in '89 was slightly different," he recalled. "Finlay Calder was captain and Donal Lenihan was almost squad captain but it wasn't quite put out that way. But in the end Donal was very instrumental in the environment that was created on that tour due to the responsibility he took for the non-Test players."
But will Gatland opt to make it an official policy when he names his squad in April when the captain is also traditionally confirmed? And will the restrictions posed by an intense tour schedule and limited playing opportunities even offer room for another contender to press his captaincy claims? McGeechan insists time will tell with the final make-up of the tour squad set to provide the answer.
"I think it is more obvious if you take three international captains with you," said McGeechan referring to the possible presence of Warburton, Robshaw and O'Driscoll with Scotland captain Kelly Brown another who may force his way into the conversation. "And Paul O'Connell might also still be there so you might be talking about three or four captains who are within that group. So it is not a case of another captain evolving, it is ultimately deciding that this is the Test team and he's the right personality to be captain."

Skyrim - or the trouble with console ports
This isn't a proper review because I only played the game for those few short hours. It is mostly a commentary on the sad state of console-to-PC ports.
First, a little background. I adored Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind but disliked Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. For these reasons, I wasn't sure I was going to like Skyrim.
In the little time I spent with Skyrim, I discovered an amazingly complex universe where my character was free to roam at will. The world of Skyrim is hauntingly beautiful and just makes you want to keep exploring. Well, until you stumble across some vicious monster or other.
I enjoyed the experience a great deal but all this was marred by the game's biggest flaw: the interface. Unfortunately, the developers were lazy enough to slap the same shoddy console interface on the PC version. The fact is that Skyrim wasn't made with a mouse and keyboard in mind. And it really sucks. The menus, the inventory system and character stats are a mess. It's true that after a couple of hours playing it I kinda-sorta got used to it but given enough time one can get used to anything, for example like riding a lame donkey versus a Ferarri.
To further compound the issue, the skill "tree" is so badly conceived that I dreaded having to visit it when I leveled up. The various "perks" are arranged in the form of constellations, a different one for each skill. While nice and shiny, navigating between the different skills and perks with a mouse and keyboard is a nightmare.
Melee combat seemed floaty and imprecise but casting spells was satisfying enough.
Overall I enjoyed Skyrim, which was more than I expected from it. The incredibly open world is rich with places to explore and quests to conquer. Even half an hour into the game you can find youself with at least half a dozen quests in your log and it's more often than not that embarking on one quest will get you sidetracked into yet another side-quest. In my short time in Skyrim quests didn't feel repetitive either and apparently the devs have stated that the game can generate an infinite number of quests, which is always a good thing for replayability.
All things considered, Skyrim still comes out as a great game but it's unfortunate that Bethesda has forgotten their PC origins and have chosen to saddle this otherwise brilliant game with a terrible and shoddy console interface. My dislike for consoles is only hardened by this experience, and I continue to believe that a proper RPG should not be played on a console, or at least not without mouse-and-keyboard. While many reviews have given Skyrim scores of 9/10 or 90%, I can't give it more than 8/10. I was seriously considering buying it but now I'll just wait until it reaches the discount bin.

I feel pretty much exactly the same way as you do. Gameplaywise Skyrim seems like a step back from the brink that was Oblivion - it "feels" more like Morrowind and a lot of the nonsense like level-scaling and fast travel is gone -- but as you say, the interface is absolutely terrible. I find myself not using my "level up" option because I don't want to deal with those stupid constellations - clearly designed with navigation via gamepad in mind.
I too hate consoles. I don't understand why we are taking a step backwards into a world of weaker, less complex systems and interfaces when better gaming would come from more input versatility and hardware horsepower.
- November 14, 2011 at 8:04 PM
- Darth Solo said...
Good point on the level scaling. I hated that "feature" with a passion. However, fast travel is still there. I can click on a previously visited location and teleport there. If that's what you mean...
Why the step backwards? Because gaming companies, like many businesses these days, are catering to the lowest common denominator. Most people play games on consoles these days so why wouldn't they make console instead of PC games? I'm suspecting it might also be the piracy issue. Apparently it's much harder to pirate a console game.

Short comment here. I'm now sucked into Skyrim. Yes, some textures are ugly. Yes, the inventory sucks as hell. Yes, animations are not hte best. But I have to admit it keeps me involved as it did not happen in YEARS of gaming.
Modders are already worjing on the engin (textures, lights, ...) and the results... well... amazing.
What can I say? It's ... impressive.
- November 15, 2011 at 12:59 AM
- Darth Solo said...
It is quite impressive. Too bad that they couldn't put a little bit of extra effort into the interface and skill system. And yes, the animations aren't that great.
Gamespot has a 12-hour marathon of Skyrim. I'm gonna watch that to get my fix.

To be honest, videos and screenshots don't give the right feeling of the game.
I already restarted 5 times, It almost never happened in any game (I had 2 toons in WoW, for 4 years).
I did so because I am now feeling "fine" with everything, plus I am tweaking stuff to make it look as best as possible.
This thing is massive and mods will show us something spectacular, I feel...
- November 15, 2011 at 7:11 AM
- Darth Solo said...
Well, I would definitely buy it but not at this price. A complete game is worth full price but this game to me seems half-baked. That's why I will wait until I can get it on Steam for <=$20. Who knows, until then they might come up with patches to fix some of the glaring issues.
I do understand about the multiple restarts. I would have probably done the same thing. After playing a while I realized that I should have probably built my character in a different way.

If you have a chance to test Skyrim... do it. You wont regret my advice. Yesterday I did a random quest out of nowhere and it was a real blast. 1 hour later I felt I was really "living" in that world. It's since the age of Ultima VI that I did not feel this way.
It has some glitches but the good stuff totally outweighs the bad stuff. And... being a thief/archer is just a-m-a-z-i-n-g.
- November 16, 2011 at 1:37 AM
- Darth Solo said...
But Loque, you didn't pay attention: I did test Skyrim for a few hours. These are my impressions after actually playing it.
Is archery really that good? For how much I played it seemed really crappy. I guess if you advance enough it becomes better...
- November 16, 2011 at 7:04 AM
- Loque Nahak said...
My bad, I didn't express myself in the proper way: if you have time to play it a bit more, going deeper into it, you will get used to inventory and other "nasty" console-like annoyances. At that point, you will be blasted.
I really needed a lot of test-n-repeat to feel comfortable with WASD+mouse management. Now I love it (but I still wait for a mod).
Archery? Yes, I love it. I am now a level 6 hunter-rogue like character an I like it a lot. It's not a point'n'shot game of course, it needs some practice (moving targets are hard). Plus I am playing the 2nd hardest level (forgot the name) to have more challenge.
Sword and shield combat... still have to get used to it, I can't properly "feel" the fight. But things are getting better and the world is awesome.
- November 16, 2011 at 7:22 AM
I would think folks would have noticed by now but a lot (if not the vast majority) of games are developed for consoles. Developers have to make a living and they can't make that much money by developing for a platform where a hundred million people will play the game and ten thousand will pay for it. The money is in the console market and that's where it will stay for the foreseeable future. When developers try to incorporate DRM into their games, the console gamers complain. I guess it's time for the rest of you to give up console gaming, since it's pretty much for WoW now.
- November 16, 2011 at 4:11 PM
- Darth Solo said...
@Loque I did kind of got used to the controls after a couple of hours but that was through necessity, not ease of use.
@Anonymous unfortunately the interface sucks for both console and PC so that's still not an excuse. While some may discount the interface as not important to the enjoyment of the game, I disagree. In any game, the interface is a very important intermediary between the player and the game world. If the interface is broken or crappy, no matter how beautiful the game world is (and Skyrim is plenty beautiful), it still messes up your experience.
Other reviewers on mainstream tech/gaming sites have noticed the same problems I have: here and here and here and here.
I will have to repeat myself: Skyrim's world is quite brilliant but to me it's not worth full price with that broken interface.

Although I'm currently loving Skyrim to death on my PS3, I can still step away and see the faults.
Even on the PS3, navigating those stupid constellations is annoying. Thankfully you only have to do it once a level.
And yeah, even though consoles are the big money maker, that was no excuse for shafting the PC like they did. I think how if Blizzard, for example, had developed Skyrim instead of Bethesda, Blizzard never EVER would have let that game out with the UI it has, because Blizzard never would have committed themselves to a cutesey little 11-11-11 launch date. So yep, they certainly could have done better. And it ends up having a BIG effect too. We know there's a good chance Darth would have LOVED Skyrim if the UI didn't have him beating his head against the wall lol.
But hey, it is what it is. Done deal. Maybe modders will make it better in a few weeks.

From what I understand there were 300K people playing it on Steam alone on the first day (not to mention those who bought the box) so it wasn't that insignificant on the PC.

I can't believe I am saying it (I bashed the game for few days until I actually managed to go deeper into it)... but it's absolutely worth every penny. It does have its flaws, but they are acceptable considering the amount of stuff/fun it provides.
@Darth #2
Yes, there were more or less 280K concurrent players within the first 48 hours. Steam numbers refer to both digital AND retail thogh. The same rule applies to COD:MW3 (that featured 1 third of the players, in the same hours).
@Darth #3
Still waiting for you on Google+, got some nice people/players to share the passion (Diablo). Coem on man, step into the modern age and open your account damint! ;-). Just go anonymous, G+ will be officially supporting nicknames soon. And if you really don't like it, just close the account.

#1 I think I'll wait, maybe they'll sort out some of the more annoying things and perhaps the modding community will fix the rest of the mess. Apparently that's the norm with Bethesda's games.
#2 Aha, ok I didn't know that :)
#3 I don't know man, I'm still not digging this social thing. You should know me by now... otherwise I might have named this blog "wowsocial" or something :) One thing that I DON'T want to do no matter what is associate my blog with G+. Too many things can go wrong.

You're taking this issue too seriously, man. It's really easy peasy. You don't need to associate it to your blog by the way, it's just an option.
You're already a "public" figure (because you run a public blog). What are you afraid of? As long as you don't publish real names, phone numbers and similar stuff, you're safe.
Plus, you can always backup your blog whenever you publish something new. If bad luck strikes you, BLAM! use your backup and ready-to-go.
Well, that's my contribute. I hope to meet you in G+ soon. It's a good platfrom and contrary to other places (FB) it's very "quiet", unintrusive, not spammed and -let me say so- much more mature and "concrete".

You know, it's funny because I'm really backward with certain technologies but advanced with others. I still don't have a smartphone (nor a data plan on my cellphone), a tablet, a gaming console, Facebook, Twitter, an HD TV and other stuff like that. I'm not a Luddite by any means but I'm a late adopter in some cases.
Now let me ask you something and I'm perfectly serious here. How would G+ improve communication between, say, the two of us, better than old fashioned email?
Another thing I'm afraid of is having to manage yet another online thing. I've already got a bunch of other blogs I'm involved with, along with other hobbies and real life duties.
The lack of a smartphone with data makes this even harder because it's a lot easier to update my status or reply quickly to a message when I'm not at home.

DURHAM — Now the real games begin.
DURHAM — Now the real games begin.
Or at least the games that matter most, the ones that will go a long way toward determining if the University of New Hampshire football team will extend its Football Championship Subdivision-best streak of playoff appearances, which stands at eight.
The Wildcats completed the non-conference portion of their schedule Saturday with a 43-10 win over Central Connecticut State in their home opener at Cowell Stadium after playing their first two games on the road.
"It was definitely good to be back home," said senior linebacker Matt Evans. "We were looking forward to it. We played well."
No. 18 UNH, which improved to 2-1, opens its Colonial Athletic Association slate at unbeaten Old Dominion next Saturday.
"I told the guys to buckle up," said UNH coach Sean McDonnell. "We're going in the CAA."
And they're going up against a club that will be transitioning up to the FBS level in the near future and has mauled its first three opponents by an average score of 57-15.
That includes a 70-15 whipping of Campbell on Saturday in Norfolk, Va. ODU was ranked No. 4 in the latest FCS coaches' poll.
"We got through the first three weeks of school and now we're starting to go," McDonnell said. "This is it. You're talking about what I think is the most talented team in the CAA on both sides of the ball."
For the most part the Wildcats played well on both sides of the ball Saturday, rushing for 331 yards and five touchdowns and forcing six turnovers, including four interceptions.
The six takeaways led to 26 points.
"I didn't think we played as clean a game as we needed to play on the offensive side of the ball," McDonnell said of three lost fumbles, "but I thought we did the things we needed to do to win a football game."
It was certainly a good bounce-back performance after the previous week's 44-7 loss at Minnesota, an FBS program.
The Wildcats are looking forward to the next challenge, even though it will be their third road game in four weeks. UNH plays six of its first nine games this season away from home.
"The great thing about it is you've got an opportunity to go on the road to a great place to play, a hostile environment," McDonnell said. "It's going to be an unbelievable atmosphere."
At least the Wildcats will be going down there with some momentum after having their way with Central Connecticut, which couldn't stop the run on defense and had difficulty holding onto the ball on offense.
"A lot of our issues were self-inflicted," said CCSU coach Jeff McInerney. "New Hampshire's a really good football team. They're big and they're physical."
Saturday's game didn't start too well for UNH, which turned the ball over on its first play from scrimmage when quarterback Andy Vailas threw a backward pass at the feet of receiver R.J. Harris and the Blue Devils recovered the ball at the Wildcat 21-yard line.
However, CCSU fumbled the ball away on its first play, and Vailas made the most of the sudden change.
He led the Wildcats on a 79-yard scoring drive that he capped himself with an 8-yard run for the game's first touchdown.
"Once I saw we got the ball back (there was) a little sigh of relief," Vailas said, "and we were able to get the ball in the end zone."
Vailas, who was making his first collegiate start, completed his first six passes. He completed 14 of 20 passes for 122 yards for the game, including a 1-yard touchdown pass to tight end Harold Spears early in the second quarter.
Vailas is getting valuable experience. He also played most of the game against Minnesota when starter Sean Goldrich injured his right shoulder on the Wildcats' first offensive series.
Vailas rushed for 17 yards on six carries Saturday and was not sacked.
"You can't tell anybody what to do until they're in there doing it," McDonnell said, "and that's what I think he got better at. The line helped him out with the pressure. I thought he did a good job with some of his reads. Put the ball on some guys. Everybody's got to pick him up and make him better, and I thought some of the guys did that."

Information on the City's Street Repair Program.
The City contracts out one to two street rehabilitation projects each fiscal year, depending upon available funding. Construction occurs in the spring/summer.
Notices of impending work are distributed to affected residents and business owners approximately one month in advance.
Check the current schedule for this year or recently completed projects.
Map of Areas Scheduled for Construction
E-mail the City concerning the Street Capital Improvement Program.
Berkeley maintains a rolling 5-Year Street Rehabilitation Plan for paving and reconstructing City streets. The plan is generated with the aid of a sophisticated Pavement Management System developed by the Metropolitan Transportation Commission. The plan was most recently updated for Fiscal Years 2019 through 2023 by Resolution 68,717-N.S. adopted by Council on December 11, 2018. The Street Rehabilitation and Repair Policy created by Resolution 55,384-N.S. and updated by Resolution 64,733-N.S. to include permeable paving, contains the basic criteria for developing the plan and includes the following:
Note: The planned year of rehabilitation for each street is subject to change due to conflicting construction work, budgetary constraints, and unforeseen circumstances. Funding for street rehabilitation comes from a variety of sources including the City's General Fund, State Gas Taxes, Alameda County Measure B & BB Transportation Sales Tax, and Federal grants.
Check the current plan for your street.
After a street has been rehabilitated through the City's Street Capital Improvement Program, it is protected by a five (5) year moratorium on any planned work involving pavement cuts. Check the current list of streets on moratorium.

We've got a real battle going here: Doug Kass doesn't see this plethora of deals to be nearly as important to the market as I do. Rather than characterizing his words, I will link to it here.
But I have to tell you that I feel deeply committed to my views and want to go point-to-point and toe-to-toe.
First, the OfficeMax (OMX)/Office Depot (ODP) merger is an important tell. Some claim that these are nothing but two drunken sailors propping each other up. I say it is a recognition by these two companies that if you can't beat each other, join each other. Both stocks got ridiculously cheap. Together they will be a strong entity. There's no longer a level of confidence on the part of OfficeMax that Office Depot won't go away (as opposed to Circuit City or Linens & Things) so, why not create a powerhouse?
Either way, the animal spirits that come with this -- or with Staples (SPLS) pondering a private equity deal or with Best Buy (BBY) getting a bunch of equities -- are extremely bullish. Companies feel that things are going to get better or they wouldn't ponder private equity deals or the possible bankruptcy of competitors. And Best Buy did have a good quarter. It is entirely possible that the next one is even better or you wouldn't be getting multiple upgrades.
My inclusion of Dell's (DELL) potential buyout as positive and the analogy I draw to John Malone's purchase of Virgin Media is that you have beliefs by smart people that the worst is behind them. Virgin Media's business is challenged by Europe's woes. Malone must believe they are near the end. Michael Dell believes that his businesses -- and they are businesses, not just PCs -- aren't getting enough credit. Dell also knows that the customer base has been hurting but that it is not in secular decline. In fact, lots of these customers are government sponsored and Dell must know that the governments can only hold back spending for so long.
Comcast (CMCSA) shows that it wants to get 100% of the burgeoning cash flow of a media-supported business. If things weren't getting better, why would it bother.
As for Warren Buffett, all I can say is the proof is already here. The major moves in these packaged-goods stocks are happening before our eyes. How can that not be bullish, per se?
And that's really the issue for me: Takeovers bring new money in to stocks and make other stocks rally. Takeovers also demonstrate, in these cases, that the smart money is buying, not selling, as I genuinely think that the people on the buy side are known to be smart to a person.
If things were getting worse, they would be sellers, not buyers. They would wait for dips and not just go out and buy. If anything, these deals verify that prices are too low across the board given the variety of industries involved. You truly have to twist the logic otherwise to reach a different conclusion.

Sound Tigers should benefit from NHL free agency
A year after getting no help from NHL free agency, the Bridgeport Sound Tigers may have had their best day of NHL free agency in team history Tuesday.
The parent New York Islanders signed seven players on the first day of free agency, including a few that should help the Sound Tigers after two years without playoffs in Bridgeport.
Most likely to play here after signing two-way contracts are former Sound Tigers forward Kael Mouillierat, experienced forwards Harry Zolnierczyk and Jack Skille, and goalie David Leggio.
"You just see where your needs are as an organization," Islanders general manager Garth Snow said. "Obviously we needed to address our depth at the forward position. I think we've got a lot of depth with all the young (defensemen). I think we achieved our goal of replenishing our depth."
Skille, the seventh pick in the 2005 NHL draft, has 194 games of NHL experience. He scored 24 points in 22 AHL games for Springfield last year.
The gritty Zolnierczyk has 57 NHL games to go with 173 games for three AHL teams. He had 36 points last season for Wilkes-Barre/Scranton.
Leggio has been a workhorse in the AHL the past four years, and Snow sees him complementing organization mainstay Kevin Poulin, who's a restricted free agent.
For Mouillierat, it's his first NHL contract after a breakthrough year with the St. John's IceCaps, 53 points in 60 regular-season games and 13 more in 21 playoff games. He had a goal in each of the first four games of the Calder Cup Final, won by Texas.
"I've definitely matured the last couple of years," Mouillierat said. "Obviously last year was great, going to the final. I think I can bring some experience with me to Bridgeport, Long Island, wherever I end up.
"I've learned from guys like Andrew Gordon, Jason Jaffray, who've been around the league awhile," Mouillierat added. "Hopefully I can help out some young guys."
If he ends up in Bridgeport, he'll be reunited with coach Brent Thompson, who's returning to the Sound Tigers after two years as an Islanders assistant, and assistant coach Eric Boguniecki.
Mouillierat was one of five players who joined the Sound Tigers on tryouts in 2011-12 and became key members of Bridgeport's first division champion in a decade. The NHL lockout helped squeeze him out of an AHL job the next fall, but he flourished again once St. John's gave him a chance.
Bridgeport's defense does remain very young. Aaron Ness, a restricted free agent, could be the most experienced in his fourth pro season. He was one of the players the Islanders tendered a qualifying offer, to retain his rights, on Monday. Three weren't tendered and are now unrestricted: defenseman Marc Cantin and forwards Joey Diamond and Matt Mangene.

At the Christ Ascension Lutheran Church on Germantown Avenue, each Sunday a bell at least 150 years old rings to mark the beginning of worship ceremonies. But as it rings this year, the bell that was once housed at Mower U.S. General Army Hospital in Chestnut Hill during the Civil War will ring in 150 years for the Christ Ascension congregation.
In honor of the celebration, the congregation is hosting a community Spaghetti Dinner open to all, with music by jazz band Standard Time, Saturday, October 15, at 5 p.m. in the Kimes Hall, its church hall, located at 8300 Germantown Ave. ($10 Adults/$5 Kids).
In addition to the dinner, members of the congregation and staff also compiled and published a 150th anniversary history book to commemorate the anniversary. The book details the history of the church and includes more than 30 faith statements from various congregants. Pastor Martin Lohrmann, Ph. D. earned his doctoral degree in religious history and researched much of the information presented in the book that was in, large part his idea.
"As new members of the congregation, it's been a great tool in helping me get to know a lot of the people I see there," said Douglas Marshall, who joined the church with his wife three years ago. The Marshall's moved to Chestnut Hill from New Hampshire to be closer to his family, which already lived in the area.
In reading the book, Marshall learned a number of his fellow church members came from a variety of different places in terms of their previous religious experiences.
That Christ Ascension has remained in the community for 150 years is a testament to the idea that "devotion to faith and caring about faith and community still matters," said Lohrmann, who became the pastor two Octobers ago.
"We genuinely care about people," Lohrmann said about the Lutheran mission and the church's ability to stay relevant in changing times. "[…] Bringing people together is the majority of what we do."
Whether it be through politics, civic or social interaction, the church's child care center or supporting an inter-faith hospitality network, "we emphasize people getting involved," Lohrmann said.
Designed by architect C.M. Burns, the English Gothic style church was completed in 1871 and is on the Philadelphia Register of Historic Places. A decade earlier, Anne Cecilia Haupt founded the Christ Church in Chestnut Hill.
In 1993, the congregations of the Christ Church and Ascension Lutheran Church combined to form the 150-plus-member Christ Ascension Lutheran Church. Before that, Christ Ascension was located on the campus of the Lutheran Theological Seminary at Philadelphia, in Germantown.
"I think a lot of the things the church does is emphasize relationships within the community," said Susan Marshall, Douglass' wife and vice president of the church council and a member of its choir.
Within the Chestnut Hill community, she explained, Christ Ascension has a strong historical context in terms of bringing people together in positive settings.
Church staff and members offer various community events, and welcome community events to its parish hall. On Mondays at noon, their "Elder Diner" hosts affordable meals for seniors. Regular church work takes place in committee groups that oversee hospitality, worship, finances, property, Christian education and the child care center. The congregation actively supports Neighborhood Interfaith Movement, the Northwest
Philadelphia Interfaith Hospitality Network, and the Lutheran Settlement House, located in Fishtown. Each June, the church hosts a Strawberry Festival.
Over the years, numerous members of the congregation such as Edward T. Horn and Henry Jacobs have taught at LTSP and been leaders of the national Lutheran church, Lohrmann said.
Lohrmann, 34, was born in Walla Walla, Washington. Before coming to LTSP for doctoral studies, he earned his Masters of Divinity from Wartburg Seminary in Dubuque, Iowa. He has a wife, Carrie, a civil engineer, and two children. When he's not researhing church history or serving his congreation, Lohrmann plays rhythm guitar in the band The Groove Daemons, a group that often plays at fundraising events.
While the technologies and the parlance of the times have changed over the past century-and-a-half, the church's mission of putting people first has remained constant.
The more Lohrmann researches, he said, the more he finds that, his church's answers and methods of dealing with issues of economic, personal and/or physical strife might have changed, the question is still the same.
"People are people," he said. "In one sense, the mission is the same, but it's a different day."
The Lutheran Church is based on the ideas of Martin Luther. On the eve of All Saints day, October 31, 1517, Luther posted his "Ninety-Five Theses" on the door of the Castle Church of Wittenburg. Within two weeks the documents had spread across Europe. Among taking issues with other issues in the Catholic Church, Luther claimed indulgence, the payment of money to clergy for forgiveness of sins, was a sham.
Lutheranism has always embraced all people, Lohrmann explained. The current Christ Ascension congregation represents a variety of races and previous religious heritages. In the 1980s, a gay priest led the church.
Christ Ascension is a Reconciling in Christ congregation, which means it welcomes gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered believers.
"I think [churches] are really unique groups of people who gather for a unique reason," Lohrmann said. "I love what that creates."
"I think there is a certain symbolic value to that," Douglass Marshall said. "To understand you are part of something that has been working as a Christian witness in Chestnut Hill for a long time."
Christ Ascension Lutheran Church, 8300 Germantown Ave., Philadelphia, PA 19118. To purchase tickets to the Spaghetti Dinner, or for more information visit firstname.lastname@example.com.

Could be a long night as rain is expected to move into the area around game time, or just after. Tomorrow looks even worse so expect the umpires and teams to do everything they can to get this one in. Travis Wood is coming off a brilliant start to his 2013 season and will face a stiff test in the Brewers lineup which gets Jean Segura back tonight. The Cubs will face youngster Wily Peralta who can rush it up there, look for a low scoring affair as it will be cold and damp at Wrigley, that usually doesn't add up to a lot of runs.
Thanks for reading, go Cubs!

The Free Syrian Army (FSA) reports that Israeli fighter jets slipped into Damascus over the weekend and bombed a chemical weapons depot outside the city.
Neither Damascus nor Jerusalem have yet confirmed the attack, according to UPI.
According to The Jewish Press (JP) "many" reports came in over the weekend confirming the mission. Sources told the JP Israeli jets arrived over Damascus early Saturday morning and circled Assad's presidential compound before moving on to target the weapons site.
The Israeli jets reportedly received fire but returned to base unscathed.
The Lebanese Daily Star confirms heavy FSA fighting occurred near the plant, the Scientific Studies and Research Center, but troops lacked the resources to breach the heavily fortified site.
Back in January, Israel bombed a Syrian convoy that may have departed from this center.
Regardless of the details, it appears to have been another deadly weekend in Syria.
The country's Network for Human Rights reports 88 deaths on Sunday alone including 12 children, eight women, five torture victims and 35 armed rebels. The organization said 23 of the deaths occurred in Aleppo, 16 in and around Damascus, 13 in Idlib, 12 in Hama, 10 in Homs, and nine in Daraa.
Update: Confirmation of the attack from Israel is yet to be released. El Arabiya reports Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has instructed his ministers to stay silent on anything relating to Syria.
Fox News posted a video interview with Israeli ambassador to the the U.S. Michael Oren, who offers what may be the reason we never receive any confirmation from Jerusalem at all, even if the strike actually occurred:
"[R]emoving the threat posed by Syria's chemical weapons stockpile by military force "is very, very complex."
"Even under international law, if you strike a chemical weapons base and there is collateral damage to civilians it is as if you, the attacker, used chemical weapons," he said.
What that could mean is that if the strike happened it was likely with tacit U.S. approval, or it never went down at all.
We'll keep looking for any additional information from the FSA and other sources.
