Dear Mr. Dad: How do you handle a 21-year-old male who' dropped out of college, has no job, and has been living in our house for the past six months? My husband and I provide our son with a car, insurance, gas, clothes, and cover all his healthcare. But whenever we ask him to do anything around the house, he flat out refuses or does it poorly. And whenever we bring up the issue of his finding work and moving out, he gets angry and accuses us of not supporting him. What can we do?
A: My first reaction is to suggest that the next time your son leaves the house you call a locksmith and have all your locks changed. However, that would only work (to the extent that it would at all) if your son was responsible for the entire problem. He's not. In fact, I'd say that you and your husband are making an already difficult situation even worse.
But let's take a step back for a moment. If it makes you feel any better, you're not alone in having an adult child move back in with you. Some studies have found that as many as a third of all young adults under 35 are living with ma and pa. The situation is so common that there's actually a term for these adult children: "boomerang kids." The bad news is that these arrangements are often extremely stressful on everyone involved, but especially on parents who had planned to downsize during their retirement years.
Okay, back to you. By providing your son with free room and board, transportation, and insurance, you're undercutting any incentive he might have had to learn how to grow up and survive on his own. I'd actually go a step further and say that you're encouraging your son to be a slacker—and the only way the situation is going to improve is if you change your behavior. Here's what you'll have to do:
- You and your husband need to get on the same page. Having one of you push for independence while the other slips your son wads of cash under the table will guarantee the status quo. What do you want to have happen, and over what period of time?
- Once you've come up with a plan, call a family meeting. Ask your son how he sees the current situation. Does he plan to finish college? Look for work? How long does he expect to be living with you? It's possible that he's feeling guilty and maybe even ashamed.
- Start charging. The value he places on his living arrangements is directly proportional to how much he has to pay. In other words, the less he pays—for rent, car, insurance, food, clothes—the more he'll take them for granted. If he has income, put a dollar value on household chores and have him work off his debts.
- Get out your calendar. Your goal is to get your son ready to live in the real world. But it's not going to happen overnight. So come up with a timetable that includes reasonable targets (enroll in college for the next semester, find a job within 12 weeks, move to your own place within six months, etc).
- Create rules and enforce them. Can he bring dates home to spend the night? Do you expect him to call if he'll be spending the night elsewhere?
As the economy continues to stagnate, this is a bigger and bigger issue. We'll go into more details in future columns.

By KAREN TRUMANChairperson, Emery County Arts Council
In the final article on looking back at the arts in the history of the county, we highlight the town of Castle Dale.
In Elmo Geary's "A Study of Dramatics in Castle Valley from 1875-1925," he tells us, "Centrally located in the heart of Castle Valley, the town of Castle Dale was the site of the institution of higher learning established by the church to serve all of Castle Valley-the Emery Stake Academy. Community dramatics in the Mormon pattern flourished in this community."
A few plays were staged before the Castle Dale Dramatic Company was formed in 1890. The Castle Dale Dramatic Company, with a theatre in which to perform, became active after 1890. It was David Evans, a Welch immigrant who possessed a fine musical and dramatic talent who became the director of the dramatic troupe.
Members of the Castle Dale Brass Band, led by the Evans brothers, participated in dramatic shows, and vocal and instrumental performers furnished music and specialty numbers between acts. Before a show, the members of the band would frequently load a reed organ into a buggy and serenade the town to arouse enthusiasm.
Stage lighting was produced by kerosene lamps and candles in early productions. Stage scenery in the Social Hall was never plentiful. Only two or three scene changes were possible with the available scenery.
The Emery Stake Academy included music and elocution courses in its curriculum, and in addition, sponsored extra-curricular theatrical productions. Often gigantic cooperative enterprises requiring the combined effort of the entire faculty and numerous students and townspeople were produced. Again we find the great love and enthusiasm for the arts the people who settled Emery County possessed.
The principal of the Emery Stake Academy in 1911-12 was King Driggs, a writer and musician as well as educator, also father of the King family. He directed the production of his original opera, "The Navajo Princess."
In 1922 the LDS Church terminated its sponsorship of the Academy and turned the building over to the Emery County School District for use as a high school known as Central High School. The high school carried on the tradition of fine plays and operas. Outstanding directors were Nola Noble, Maggie Rowe, Elmo G. Geary, E.A. Nielson, Dean J. Isbell, and W.W. Brady.
The final article I write regarding revitalizing the arts in Emery County will focus on "Where are we now and where are we going in the future with the arts in Emery County?" We, as an arts council hope to inspire the citizens of Emery County today to give support to the arts in our county. If you are interested in supporting the effort of the Emery County Arts Council we would like to hear from you.

The gender spectrum is a diagram of gender identity and is more inclusive than the gender scale. As opposed to having only two endpoints, male and female, and then some gray area in the middle, the gender spectrum includes people who are genderfluid, androgynous, more masculine, more feminine, trans, etc.; It is represented as as a sort of circle split into thirds by three arrows. One arrow, labeled x, represents a male gender identity. The second represents female gender identity, labeled as y. The third, labeled as z, represents a neutral or androgynous identity. Through this, the gender spectrum allows for those with non-binary identities to be recognized.
The gender spectrum helped me explain my non-binary gender to myself and peers.

My first thought was what the hell is Hichigo do here? Well this clearly proves what Ginjo said about Fullbring mothers being attacked by a hollow. Great chapter btw but NO BLEACH next week!? URGH!!!!
SS arc (5/5)
TBTP flashbacks (4/5)
Any scene with Urahara (3/5)
Aizen standing still for 2 yrs (2/5)
Foolbringers arc (1/5)
My first thought was what the hell is Hichigo do here? Well this clearly proves what Ginjo said about Fullbring mothers being attacked by a hollow. Great chapter btw but NO BLEACH next week!? URGH!!!!
Damn....DAAAYYYUUUMMMM. All the predictions pretty much hitting the jackpot. Kubo's been getting pretty good at this lately =p.
So Ryuken got it on with the maid eh...kinky hehe. Glad to know that he wasn't always that uptight. N i see now how the fullbringer arc comes into play like mentioned although it was way too long just to explain that one point. No matter its over n this arc is totally killing it. On a side note this means Ryuken is the last 'good' pure blood quincy around eh? Though if history of is a sign of things then him mixing with a normal human(eg. half saiyans) probably means ishida is a true beast deep down.
Great Chapter!!! many call it expected, but I didnt see the Ryuken relationship with Masaki coming, no wonder why Isshin and Ryuken are like best friends and always hang around together, most probably because of what happened to Masaki, and Im wondering... I bet Ryuken wont be so friendly at first, since Isshin will be all lovey dovey with Masaki, or maybe not. And DAYUM, That Vasto Lorde, dropped my jaw at the end. Well played Kubo, after the dissappointment (at least for me) that was that chapter of Unohana and Kenpachi (the last one) I thought the story wasnt taking a good path, or pacing, but after that and with this, it made things interesting again and with the right pace Also , I guess this almost makes Ichigo and Ishida like cousins xD
that definitely is a vasto lord somewhat has the same arms as hallibel mixed with ichigo but for masaki to presumably end the life of a vasto lord speaks volumes of the hidden power of a quincy and maybe we shouldnt be surprised if the strength of these stern ritters... but im confused at how they lost to shinigami in the 1st place..
He Who Speaks Without An Attentive Ear Is Mute.

Kubo's at the top of his game right now. Best few chapters we've had for quite a long time.
Hold On Everybody.
Doesn't the Mother of the Fullbringer have to be Pregnant with the Fullbringer when she was attacked by a hollow? Seriously, I like the Vasto Lorde showing up, but Masaki is Not pregnant with Ichigo yet AFAIK.
I am not perfect and I defy you to prove otherwise
Growing Old Gracefully is an Oxymoron ... Mostly Moron !
^ As one other guy mentioned, perhaps the Vasto Lorde escapes this confrontation and comes back later when Masaki is pregnant.
Aggravate, Anger, and Piss off

NORCROSS, Ga. – Steve Johnson and Sachia Vickery each earned main-draw wild cards into January's Australian Open by winning a tournament they almost didn't play.
Vickery defeated fellow 18-year-old Victoria Duval, 6-2, 6-3, while Johnson, 23, beat 22-year-old Tennys Sandgren, 4-6, 6-3, 0-6, 7-6, 6-1, in Sunday's finals of the Australian Open Wild Card Playoffs at Life Time Athletic at Peachtree Corners in Norcross, Ga.
Johnson and Vickery are now into the singles main draw in Melbourne – Vickery's first appearance there, Johnson's second – after winning three matches in three days against some of their up-and-coming American contemporaries in the yearly indoor, hard-court event that easily could have featured neither of them.
Johnson contemplated pulling out of it while recovering from a leg injury, while Vickery entered the field as an alternate after Melanie Oudin withdrew.
"I was getting ready to go to Auckland, and my coach was like, 'Well you might get in,'" said Vickery, who called both her mother, Paula Liverpool, and her coach, USTA National Coach Kathy Rinaldi, after the match. "So, I was like, 'Yeah, we'll see what happens. If it happens, great. If not, I have qualies.' … I'm very religious, and my mom always says God puts things in situations for a reason."
Vickery, ranked No. 195, earned her second straight wild card into a Grand Slam. She won the USTA Girls' 18s National Championship this summer to gain entry into the 2013 US Open, where she advanced to the second round in her Grand Slam debut.
Saying she fought nerves the whole match, Vickery bothered the rangier Duval, ranked No. 168, by mixing up her serve placement, being aggressive and hitting a few down-the-line winners.
Last year, Madison Keys won the Australian Open Wild Card Playoff and used it as a launching pad for her breakout 2013 season. Keys advanced to the third round in Melbourne and is now the youngest player in the WTA Top 40, at No. 38.
Vickery said she didn't feel any challenge to live up to her predecessor.
"I don't feel pressure right this second because I haven't even processed the fact that I won. I'm sure once the start of the tournament comes around I'll start feeling it a little bit," Vickery said. "I'm just so happy to be in the tournament. I wasn't even supposed to be in this tournament. I barely got in. So I can't ask for anything else. I'm just happy to be there."
Johnson, ranked No. 156, could say the same thing. The former USC star and two-time NCAA singles champion injured his left ankle midway through the fourth set and came back with it heavily taped. He faced a match point in the fourth set while serving at 4-5, but came came back to win the fourth set in a tiebreak and cruised in the fifth. He hit an ace on match point to seal his trip Down Under.
"I just kind of ran the best play I could. Luckily, it worked, and here we are," Johnson said. "That's just tennis. He's one point away from winning, and 20 minutes later, I'm up a break and trying to squeeze him for another one."
Johnson lost in the first round of every Grand Slam in 2013. At the Australian Open, French Open and Wimbledon, he lost in five sets.
"I'm excited to finally win a five-set match," he said. "I'm 0-for-4 in life, 0-for-3 this year, so I'm glad to get one."
2013 Australian Open Wild Card Playoffs – Day 3 Results
No. 3 Steve Johnson d. No. 4 Tennys Sandgren, 4-6, 6-3, 0-6, 7-6(5), 6-1
Sachia Vickery d. No. 4 Victoria Duval, 6-2, 6-3

By PATRICK SUNDSTROMEmery
I read your coverage of the Emery County Democrat dinner. Mr. Dooley's speech about liberals was quite amusing. Having studied liberals and their views, I have come to some conclusions about them which I believe, while disturbing, are quite accurate.
Let me be clear I am not speaking about people who say they are Democrats, I am talking about liberals. Liberals are socialists and promote a far left wing agenda. They have infiltrated and taken over a once great party and are destroying it. Liberals do not like America, its values and traditions, and will do anything in their power to destroy this country and anyone who loves it.
Liberals are moral and physical cowards who hide behind the rights and freedoms bought by young and promising men with blood, and then seek to deprive people of the most important right we have. That right is defined in the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. As far as I can tell, the only right liberals truly value is the right of a mother to kill her unborn child.
The liberal Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee made that quite clear during the confirmation hearing for Justice Samuel Alito. The liberal Democrats in the house and senate have been doing their very best to cause this country to lose the war on terror, and contrary to what Mr. Dooley might say, some of the comments they have made about our president and members of his administration have been, in my view, at the least seditious, and at the most treason.
I think it is time for good Democrats like Mr. Dooley to stop being apologists for the liberals in his party and start sending them back to the socialist party where they belong. I know its got to be embarrassing to have Nancy Pelosi, Teddy Kennedy, Harry Reid, and Hillary Clinton as the face of the Democrat party. I know they can do better and hope they do.
In closing, I would like to say I agree with Mr. Dooley, we should all be humbled by the words of Abraham Lincoln, he was a great president and a great Republican. God bless America. I apologize in advance to any liberals who I offended by mentioning God.

very stylish bag
"It is not leather, but I still like it, the fabric is soft, the chain is sturdy and very stylish bag. The bag itself doesn't have shape like the picture online (fold over), the shape sometime depends on what you have in there. I bought this bag during Luxe sale."

"I absolutely LOVE this wedge. I was searching this summer for a wedge that is comfortable and nice looking and I am so glad that I found the one! It runs true-to-size and is very comfortable to walk in for long periods of time. The material for the pattern part is a little odd but I have gotten many compliments about the shoe so I definitely am not bothered by it."

My daughter is happy = I am happy
"I bought these for my daughter's birthday and since I buy her shoes often - I expected the usual "oh, more shoes?" so I was really happy to see her smile and say "WOW!" when she opened the box. (actually, she said it twice!!) The colors are bright and fun and the shoes are comfortable - she's 11 but wearing a size 9 Women's so tried them on - I usually wear a 9.5/10 and I easily fit into them - so they must run at least a little long which is typical for "skate shoes" These shoes are big score with my daughter - she's worn them basically every day since she got them a couple month's ago - and they've held up great!"

Introductiontopology, branch of mathematics, formerly known as analysis situs, that studies patterns of geometric figures involving position and relative position without regard to size. Topology is sometimes referred to popularly as "rubber-sheet geometry" because a figure can be changed to that of an equivalent figure by bending, stretching, twisting, and the like, but not by tearing or cutting.

A would-be robber of the Woodside Gas Station fled the scene of the crime Nov. 20 after exchanging gunfire with the owner of the store.
The owner of the station called the Emery County Sheriff's Office after the attempted robbery on the evening of Nov. 20. He reported after exchanging gunfire with the robber the suspect had fled on foot while the owner was calling for help.
Capt. Kyle Ekker, Sgt. Gayle Jensen, Deputy John Spinney and detectives Bob Blackburn and Jeff Thomas from the sheriff's office responded to the scene with the assistance of Utah Highway Patrol Trooper Chris Parkins, but were unable to locate the suspect.
The suspect is described as a white male in his mid-20s, approximately 5 foot 10 inches tall, 180 pounds, with shoulder length brown hair which was combed back. He was wearing a black jacket and blue jeans and was armed with a small caliber hand gun.

Skip to comments.Immigration ruling fully within Obama powers, says adviser Plouffe
Posted on 06/17/2012 4:44:21 PM PDT by Nachum
Senior White House adviser David Plouffe insisted Sunday that President Obamas decision to defer deportation of certain illegal immigrants who came to the country as children was "fully within" the president's authority and not made with the 2012 election in mind. This is not a political move. This builds on a lot of steps that we have already taken, Plouffe said on the CNN program State of the Union. Mitt Romney, in an interview to air on CBS later Sunday, accused the White House of making the decision based on politics. Romney already faces a
(Excerpt) Read more at thehill.com ...
A Liar on all counts
The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
Puhleeze ... This guy doesn't even go to the bathroom unless it's political!
So is it Ploof, Plofie, or Fluffer?
I never know how to pronounce his name and buttboy
just seems harsh.
I've found that "Turd Burglar" gives it just the right jaunty tone.
Fully within his powers....riiiiiight...
Perhaps if someone who were council to the President
made a qualifying statement like this it might mean
something. From Ploof not so much, not much at all,
How about poofter?
I have come to the conclusion that Obama just wants to be dictator. Hopefully, a majority of voters will be perceptive enough to throw him out of office.
No Poofters!
Now THAT is perfect!
You met another and Plouffe you was gone.
Great photo just great. What a punk.
Congressional cowards. Might as well shut it down for all the good it does.
Plouffe's head is attached to Obama's backside that's why he talks a lot of B.S.
And what are David Plouffe's credentials to opine about the meaning of Article II, or any other part of the Constitution, for that matter?
Isn't he one of Mr. Obama's main political advisors, along with David Axelrod? How is his opinion on the legality of this move significant?
White is black.
Plouffe: "This is not a political move."
Oh, and black is white.
I think I'd better put my boots on. It's getting pretty deep in here.
hehehe—I've been waiting for someone to do that.
...or that the DESPICABLE ACTIONS of any dictator or wanna-be dictator that there has ever been in the history of the world was 'fully within' their powers too.
...Plouffe can say it, but it don't make it so.
The ONLY thing that makes it so now is that there is NOBODY in our Congress which are willing to tell President Zer0 no, by, say cutting off Executive branch money.
i know ideological pornography when i see it.
may not be there for long
Of course it's all about politics. But it's probably legal.
I bet Plouffe, howled and howled when Nixson told Frost it is not illegal when the Pres_ent does it.
Please state the constitutional and/or legal basis that grants this idiot the "authority".
And BS this isn't a political move. How f'n dumb does this administration think we are?
So a president can issue "rulings".
It's a (so far fairly) bloodless revolution we're in.
We just watched an episode of Veep, now watching David Plouffe being interviewed. I think David is a cast member on Veep.
Definition of a bottom-feeding, dishonent, prevaricating, far-left, PENCIL-NECKED, Moonbat, Geek:
Well it wasn't that long ago that obama himself said it wasn't within his powers. Was he lying then or now?
What should we expect from Obama's Plouffer. A limp effort?
Well it wasn't that long ago that obama himself said it wasn't within his powers. Was he lying then or now?
Other than being black and president, this guy has obama down pat. Wus squared!
I'd like to ask the Poufter if he could name ONE thing he considers beyond the wannabe dictator's power. He wouldn't be able to asnwer...
Since he has the military training to go against our civilian population I fully expect him to declare martial law and cancel the elections in November and declare himself dictator!
Plouffe couldn't be better named...
He couldn't get off of his talking points and has no acquaintance with the truth.
For that reason alone, his assertions regarding the legality of Obama's actions are of no value.
Oh well if this obammy butt boy says it is ok well then!!!
Attention illegals, Obama has done all he can/will, only the GOP can do more.
What the hell would a commie WH advisor know about executive powers?
What the hell would a commie WH advisor know about executive powers?
The ends must never justify the means.
Congress ought to defund all of those fancy "documents" promised to the illegals by 0bama

The man was fleeing, he said, because a truck was following him after he had taken $7 worth of gas and not paid for it at a Glendale gas station. An 18-year-old Milwaukee man, his passenger, was cited for failure to wear a seat belt. The men were turned over to Glendale Police.
29A male, no other information available, was arrested for drunken driving and refusal to take a breath test after he was seen weaving in traffic and then blocking the northbound lanes at Lake and Silver Spring drives at 8:15 p.m. April 7. He was given medical assistance and taken for a blood draw.
Firefighters responded to 118 calls, 87 emergency medical and 31 fire/rescue, April 1 to April 7.
30Firefighters responded to a report of heavy smoke at the rear of a home in the 5900 block of North Sidney Place, Glendale, at 4:12 p.m. April 5. Two trucks were sent and firefighters reported that the residents were burning leaves in an open fire pit but that the fire did not create a hazard because it was being attended with a hose nearby. The residents were told to cover the pit and extinguish the fire and that no open burning is allowed. Firefighters were called back at 7:43 p.m. for leaves and brush still burning in the fire pit now sitting in the driveway. No one answered the door and firefighters put out the fire with a pump can.

The city of Boston declared a public health emergency as the city tried to deal with a harsh, early flu season and the state is reporting 18 flu-related deaths so far. But state officials are taking a more measured tone.
At the State House, Governor Deval Patrick encouraged the public to use common sense protections:
"You know it's a great opportunity for me to remind people to get a flu shot. I hate needles and I got one. Wash your hands, cough into your elbows. You know, some of the basic practices that help reduce the risk."
In Boston, mayor Thomas Menino declared a state of emergency. Hospitals across the state are taking precautions not seen since the H1N1 "swine flu" pandemic". In Springfield, for example, Baystate Medical Center banned visitors younger than 14. Umass Memorial in Worcester is only allowing patients to have two visitors at a time. State health officials say the hospitals' measures are preventive and normal during an outbreak. Kevin Cranston, the head of infectious diseases at the state department of public health, says it's still too early to tell how bad flu season will be.
"This is an atypical season in many respects in that we have seen earlier activity. But we have flu season every year of course. The last two years have been particularly mild so it was off of people's radar screen."
Cranston says its not too late to get a flu shot. The CDC reports the flu vaccine is the best way to prevent against the flu but its only about 60 percent effective. It also takes two weeks to kick in.

The Comedy (Rick Alverson | USA | 96 min.)
Much like Five Easy Pieces or Mike Leigh's Naked, director Rick Alverson and lead actor Tim Heidecker have masterfully created a captivating character study about an unlikable character. (Fans of Tim and Eric should delight in seeing a new level of skillful acting from the duo.) With Swanson (Heidecker) and friends cracking wise at everything life has, the film is funny as hell. But watching this crew romp indulgently—beer wrestling and drunkenly playing wiffleball, scathingly critiquing each other with straight faces and stoner eyes—it would all be so much mindless naval gazing if not for the sense of melancholy which imbues their actions. One has to wonder if they are having fun while they're having fun.
Heidecker's hipster is on some type of Quixotic quest, making a fool (and an asshole) of himself while constantly misinterpreting how to relate to other people. He is attempting to find connection, but it always comes off wrong, whether dangerously getting down with some thuggish guys in a ghetto bar or badly trying to bond with an immigrant cab driver. Joining his father's Latino gardening staff, he tricks the elitist estate managers, seemingly standing up for the workers, but then he walks off, his point being proven to no one. His anguish is palpable whenever he fails to get a smile.
All these hilariously inappropriate failings become a search for the essence of humanity, finding connection despite differences, and his search would be the same no matter his race, class or cultural background. He's not looking to "better himself"—the film is smarter, edgier and more true than that platitude. He doesn't know what he's looking to do. But this biting nihilist comedy is worth seeing for the unique cultural critique of a man burning through life fast and raw, aching with the painful hope of the perpetually cynical.

Care Instructions:
Fine crystal should be hand washed separately in warm soapy water rinsed thoroughly and dried with a lint free cloth. We do not recommend using a dishwasher to clean your crystal as it can dull and damage the surface. Do not turn upside down while drying or storing. Wash your fine crystal and glassware by hand in moderately hot water with a mild lemon detergent and 1/4 cup ammonia (to prevent spotting). Rinse in clean water and air dry on a rack. Cleaning the crystal in an automatic dishwasher may cause the crystal to lose brilliance; we recommend you avoid this. Do not clean your fine crystal and glassware with scouring pads or abrasive cleaners. Always store your stemware upright to help prevent chipping.

Quake 1, the first 3D hardware accelerated game. I bought a Monster 3D (voodoo 1 chip).
And i remember it as the most impressive hardware update i ever did , back then upgrading a vidéocard was like leaving stoneage
I think I bought my first 3D accelerator just because I wanted to have one. More correctly it was a decelerator, the ViRGE DX. Most games use software rendering, so it wasn't that needed, but I was impressed by the bilinear filtering in Tomb Raider.
The was one game I did buy a card for, and that was Unreal. I found a cheap Matrox m3D, a PowerVR based card, which was a bit crappy compared to the Voodoo, but also cheaper and supported by Unreal. I spent hours looking at the tower flyby in Unreal using all the graphics cards I had.
I belive the game was Sim City 2000, it would not run on the card i had in my PC as it needed a VGA card with 512k of ram i think wow i cant remember that was back in 94 or somthing.. well before proper 3d cards..
I can always remember buying Sim City 2000 getting home, installnig it in DOS then only to get a message No VGA card detected... i weas gutted but i eventually saved up for a basic VGA card and got the game working.. and it was awesome
First card with 3d acceleration was a Matrox mystique and i think i probally got that for on of the Dark Forces games... not long after i got a vodoo card for it as well..
I did have a c64 before i has a proper IMB based PC but im not counting the C64 for this
Yep I can remember. It was to play a graphical text based adventure game called Scapeghost in VGA, so I was upgrading from CGA at the time.
Just checked and apparently this was back in 1989 as I bought the game on release. I'd built up a system and used the cheapest possible graphics card at the time with the idea of upgrading once I'd saved up enough for this more advanced display adaptor.

I had decent video cards in my computers for playing the games I was playing prior to EQ2, but when EQ2 came out I had to buy a new computer, including a new gfx card. Yes, the game was worth it to me.

Any game I played prior didn't REQUIRE a video card.
Bought a Riva 128 video card for Quake 2.
Because i can.

It probably doesn't completely depend on your age but could be when you started to take gaming more seriously. Can you even think that far back? I had a flashback to when I was a novice to computer upgrades but very much into PC games. I believe it was Lego Island that forced me into buying a *gasp* graphics accellerator card in order to play the game.
3DFX Voodoo 2 for my Quake 2 addiction.
I also remember having to get my first Cable Internet service because players would kick me from game for having the dreaded 'Red Bar'. I was so happy the first time I saw green Starcraft latency bars.
While I have been with pc gaming for allot of years before Medal of Honor ( the original from "99) is what made me build my first actuall gaming pc. Not counting the "HOMECOMPUTER (MSX/Commodore/Amiga/Atari)" which I had before that, and most of the consoles till the ps2.
I am not really recalling what video card I used but think for a few years I bought ATI cards, think if I am not mistaken that Farcry 1 was the game that made me switch to NVidia and since never been using another brand then NVIDIA/Asus cards (currently 580GTX)
Are you team Azeroth, team Tyria, or team Jacob?
Seeing the Matrox Millenium mentioned a couple of times has rung a bell. But I'd guess there was another before that.
I also remember my Nvidia Ti4200 64mb fondly. Bought for playing Asheron's Call. I got the 64mb version (vs. the 128mb) after reading an authoritative article in Tom's Hardware explaining exactly why no more than 64mb of video memory would ever be required on a video card. Then or in the future. That author was obviously a prescient genius.
1st computer didn't have a video card. Packard Bell 386N+ back in 1991 time frame.

Here's another thing, though: Back in the early 90s, the purchase that showed that you were "serious" about PC gaming was not the video card (didn't need it, really). It was actually the sound card. I remember buying my first true sound card back in the very early 90s. It was either a Sound Blaster 1.5 or a 2.0. The traps in Prince of Persia sounded wicked with that!
...very true indeed... Instead of the PC speaker or AdLib, you could get a hell of a lot better sound when buying Creative. My 1st soundcard was an AWE16, next AWE32 and after that the SoundBlaster Live 5.1. The last one I still have and is in my son's PC now. And as always, I'm still with SB, having thier last years top-model in my system. Though soundcards (and chips in general) have gone through a lot of changes and on-board sound is pretty good these days, there's still nothing better than a good creative card ;-)

AHL Development
Jason Strudwick
October 18 2012 11:13AM
With the NHL in full lockout mode a lot of the hockey world's focus has shifted to the AHL. Edmonton Oiler fans are very interested in the Oklahoma City Barons. With Eberle, Nugent-Hopkins and Paarjarvi playing there already and Hall practicing with the team it makes a lot of sense. Throw in first year pro Justin Schultz and all the other prospects on the team and we are talking about many of the young blue chip studs the Oilers have in their system. I am sure Oilers management is hoping the current Barons lineup will be all over the Oilers roster in the years to come.
I get asked by fans all the time about when Player X or Player Y will be ready for NHL prime time. I am always surprised when fans seem to think players put in the minors will just improve because they are in the AHL. Comments like 'he just needs a couple of years in the minors and then he will be ready' or 'he is just being put there so he learns to respect the NHL' are not accurate at all. It isn't like you are waiting for a New York strip steak to age... a lot of work needs to be done by the player to improve to an NHL playing level.
A great thing about playing in the minors is the way schedule is set up. Weekend games are a priority in the AHL to increase attendance. Three games from Friday thru Sunday often mean no games Monday thru Thursday. With this type of hole between games, a player can really work on the parts of his game that need improving.
But will he have the discipline to work on his game?
Having three games in a row is tough especially when you throw in travel. I remember playing in that third game in three days and my legs being absolutely fried. No jump, no gas in the tank. Mondays you are super tired and it is often an off day to recover. I always thought it was a great day to get the gym and work on strength. Young players need to take advantage of down time to get stronger.
Extra time to work on skills is always available in the minors. There is no rush to get on a plane after practice or a game every other day to worry about. The head coach will go through his practice plan and then the ice is open. My second year in the AHL our team, the Kentucky Thoroughblades were so lucky to have Vasily Tikhonov as an assistant coach.
He worked with all the defencemen. Right at the beginning of the year he sat us down and said we work on our skills a little each day after practice, ten minutes was all that was needed, if we were dedicated. Not one hour after practice once a week. That approach doesn't work. He wanted us to chip away at getting better. It was such good advice for all of us to hear at that age. We all improved big time.
Most AHL teams now have on ice skill coaches and strength trainers. What great resources for a prospect to take advantage of if they are dedicated to improving! That is the big issue however... are they good professionals?
We never had anything like that twenty years ago. My first year in the minors my head coach Jimmy Roberts told me I should take boxing lessons to learn how to fight. He sent me to an old trainer with one eye and a heavy limp! I was so scared of this guy I listened very closely but it didn't improve my stickhandling!
Playing in the minors is a lot of fun. Everyone is the same age pretty much and you are all making money for the first time in your lives. You also are free to do what you like. No billets watching over your shoulder making sure you eat right, no college coach telling you to work out every day. With all this freedom comes responsibility. The player's career path lies solely on his shoulders!
Will he make the right decisions to improve his game? Will he eat right? Get sleep? Take advantage of all the coaching available?
The Edmonton Oilers have an incredible development team in place. There is constant feedback from them letting the individual players know what should be worked on. What a gift! Ask any retired player and they will tell you they would have killed for that!
I think the Oilers have done a good job assembling talent in the system through the draft. They have surrounded these players with the resources required to get to the NHL. Now it is truly up to the individual players. For some they will get in the program right away, be focused and move up to the NHL. For others, the years will tick by and they will not go anywhere.
Five years from now look back on today's Barons lineup. You will know who was committed and who was not.

This doesn't just apply to professional sports.
Robert Nilsson: oozes skill but lacks discipline. Oilers gave up on him and now he's playing in the KHL, not because of the lockout.
Hot blonde with huge knockers: oozes flesh out of a string bikini, but comes from a broken home and loves douche bags. Now lives on the north side, not too far from her baby daddy.
Both lack focus. Both playing a game. One hockey, the other, the game of life.
Sadly I want them both!
Edit: Man, this lockout is making me nucking futs!
October 18 2012, 12:35PM
Jason: Care to make any predictions about who turns out, just for fun? It's always nice to hear your perspective on this sort of thing.
October 18 2012, 01:15PM
Interesting to see that Zdeno Chara was one of Tikhonov's pupils, too.
It would be fun to hear your take on Chara's development sometime, Jason, given that he was a diamond in the rough kind of prospect.
Nice fight, Strudsy! Whooped that guy's butt
Great fight Jason! You even had to stick up for Brashear :) Some nice insight too. Thanks!
October 18 2012, 11:04PM
I think the Eberle kid and what's his name, Nugent, both have an outside chance.
Just wondering, Jason, but did you tell them stories like this?
October 19 2012, 01:16AM
Great job of showing us the evolution that professional hockey players all share as they define themselves,it is surprising to learn of the sudden transition where the players are faced with little to no guidance.
It is nice to be shown the total value of seasoned vets in the system,there needs to be enough to go around .There is great value for roster spots in those role models.
Thanks for the insights,well worth the read.

The GloSensor™ cAMP Assay presents a novel approach to measuring cAMP levels in live cells. cAMP is a key second messenger involved in signal transduction of GPCRs acting through Gα-s and Gα-i proteins. The new assay is based on the GloSensor™ Technology, a genetically modified form of firefly luciferase into which a cAMP-binding protein moiety has been inserted. Upon binding of cAMP, conformational change is induced leading to increased light output. This live-cell assay excels at kinetic and modulation studies of signaling through cAMP.
Researchers can use the GloSensor™ cAMP Assay by transiently ...
Expand to Read More
Researchers can use the GloSensor™ cAMP Assay by transiently expressing a receptor of interest and the biosensor in the cell line of choice. Alternatively, stably transfected cell lines with both the biosensor and the receptor of interest can be made. The protocol is simple: Cells are pre-equilibrated with GloSensor™ cAMP Reagent for approximately 2 hours; then cells are treated with specific agonists/antagonists or compounds, and luminescence is measured after 10–30 minutes. No other reagent additions or manipulations are required. Most any common luminometer with injectors is sufficient to read the assay. GloSensor™ cAMP Reagent is required for use with this assay per the GloSensor™ Limited Use Label License.
Choosing the Appropriate Plasmid We offer two variants of the biosensor, and we recommend the pGloSensor™-22F cAMP Plasmid as the first choice for most applications.
pGloSensor™-22F cAMP Plasmid. Following cell-free expression in vitro, the version encoded by this construct shows an increased EC50 for activation together with increased signal-to-background ratio at cAMP saturation relative to the version encoded by the pGloSensor™-20F cAMP construct. In general, we have observed similar relationships between the two constructs when their performance is compared in living cells.
pGloSensor™-20F cAMP Plasmid. The version encoded by this construct performs well in HEK293 cells at 37°C. Luminescence from the pGloSensor™-22F cAMP Plasmid construct can be more difficult to detect at physiologic temperatures.
For a more thorough explanation of the general performance differences between the two plasmids, please consult Section 3.B, Recommendations on Choice of GloSensor™ Plasmid, in the Technical Manual (#TM076).
