Pity poor Andy Parfitt, controller of Radio 1. It's Hobson's choice for the beleaguered head of what used to be by far the BBC's most popular radio station. Revolution or evolution?
Parfitt will remember all too clearly the fallout that ensued when his predecessor, Matthew Bannister, tried the Big Bang approach to overhauling the station in the Nineties.
When Bannister decided to launch a programme of energetic geriatric cleansing the results kept the station in the tabloids for months and lost 5 million listeners. Veteran DJs such as Dave Lee Travis behaved with the pique of the spurned, tattling to the tabloids and threatening to derail Bannister's revolution after being sacked ignominiously from Radio 1.
Ultimately, Bannister was successful. It seems incredible now to recall that the BBC allowed Simon Bates's Our Tune to run on Radio 1 well into the Nineties - long after house music had become ubiquitous.
Bannister's revamp put the foundations in place for the current Radio 1 era, ushering in the age of Chris Evans, Britpop and Pete Tong. In essence, the station has changed little since.
No radio employers who value keeping their blood pressure steady would relish the inevitable tabloid soap opera that seems to go with a big overhaul of a radio station. Radio talent can be notoriously bitchy and willing to go running to the press as egos are damaged. Radio 1's figures have been in gradual decline for four years. Parfitt recently tinkered with the schedule. In the past year he has axed the Steve Lamacq Evening Session, moved the ageing Mark Goodier from the Chart Show, and hired the edgier DJs Zane Lowe and Colin Murray. But the most recent Radio Joint Audience Research (Rajar) audience figures suggest it may not be enough to stop the rot.
Radio 1's audience has fallen below the magic 10 million figure for the first time in its history, while its older sister, Radio 2, boasts audiences comfortably exceeding 13 million.
But this year's figures show a much more dramatic decline in listeners. The station has lost 650,000 listeners in the past year and the all-important breakfast show, presented by Sara Cox, has lost more than 400,000 listeners in the past three months.
The slump can be attributed at least partly to demographic changes: the middle-aged baby boomer generation is a lot bigger than the 18-24-year-old niche which Radio 1 has made its own. At the same time, these younger listeners have been the target of new stations that have sprung up over the past decade.
Niche radio services, such as two digital radio offshoots of magazines, Smash Hits Radio and Kerrang! are thought to have picked up listeners from Radio 1. Such fragmentation means that listeners are now more split along demographic lines.
Radio 1 has admitted its problems, saying that its management 'is examining the figures'. But in spite of a spokesman's claims that the station exists to take musical risks, not to be mega-popular, it is clear that the station needs to redefine itself.
Although Radio 1 insists Parfitt's job is not on the line, senior BBC radio sources have already put out feelers to other potential replacements from the commercial sector. There is also a question mark over how long the station can continue with a flagging breakfast show.
This quarter's Rajar listening figures were full of surprises. First, that old truism about big news stories boosting speech radio has been blown apart. In spite of the fallout from the Iraq war and the David Kelly affair, Radio 4's audience figures were down. Perhaps the bigger surprise, though, was the destruction of one of the oldest myths in radio - that 95.8 Capital FM is nothing without Breakfast Show host Chris Tarrant.
The flagship show on Capital FM boosted its figures by 77,000 in the past quarter despite the fact that star presenter Tarrant has been off for much of the period, replaced by Capital veteran Dr (Neil) Fox. Speculation over the time and terms of Tarrant's departure has become an annual sport for radio industry watchers. The stalwart of the station, he has been estimated to account for 15 per cent of the company's revenue, and is the only DJ in the country who can move his company's share price.
Audience figures have risen by 211,000 listeners; not an earth-shattering move, but a solid improvement on the previous quarter, when the 10 per cent fall year on year fall was revealed. Intense competition in the London 'breakfast market' from rivals Heart FM, hosted by Jono Coleman, and Kiss, seems to have eased with both stations' morning drive-time shows losing listeners in the past quarter.
The figures will come as a huge relief to Capital chief executive David Mansfield, who has endured a white-knuckle ride in the past year, and will give the group a psychological boost in planning for Life After Tarrant. The group's shares rose by 4 per cent owing to the figures. What price the Millionaire presenter's contract renegotiations now?
Digital starts to become enhanced
If listeners are switching off Radio 1, where are they going? It may not yet have reached critical mass, but there is some evidence that digital radio, for years the white elephant of the industry, is finally beginning to gather interest from consumers.
Some commercial digital stations are nudging close to having a million listeners, including Emap's stations Kiss, which has more than 900,000, and Smash Hits, which comes close with 853,000.
The BBC has also had some success with several new stations launched last year. Asian Network is now listened to by more than 430,000 people.
'Generally the trend is very positive,' says Ian Dickinson, from the Commercial Radio Association. 'Our estimate is that by the end of the year there will be 500,000 sets out there.'
Radio audience body Rajar has also begun to monitor digital radio listening as part of its quarterly surveys.
More than 8 per cent of people aged 15-24 have listened to the radio over the internet, while less than four per cent of over-24s have. But a much higher proportion - 63 per cent of adults surveyed - have listened to radio via their digital TV sets.
One indication that the market is beginning to grow is that mainstream electronics manufacturers - such as Roberts, Bush and Morphy Richards - are planning to launch digital radio products later this year.

It was simply a matter of time before Ferguson police revealed additional information about Michael Brown which would reveal this teenager was some form of notorious criminal. We now know the name of the officer who shot the boy was Darren Wilson. We now have been informed by the Ferguson police that Michael Brown was a "suspect" in the robbery of a convenience store which resulted in $48.99 being stolen and a clerk "shoved." Of course, we also now know that when officer Wilson approached Michael Brown he had no idea that this teenager was a "suspect." The best we can determine is that officer Wilson thought Brown was "blocking traffic." At this point, there are two versions as to what ensued. Wilson claims Brown assaulted him when he told him to cease blocking traffic. Eye witnesses insist Wilson attempted to drag Brown into his car, but the boy broke away. The only thing upon which there is agreement is that officer Wilson blasted away hitting Brown with several shots. Oh, the other thing everyone agrees happened is that Michael Brown is dead.
Looting and violence continue in Ferguson. Fortunately, the Missouri State Highway Patrol has taken charge of Ferguson. Reporters complained to Captain Ron Johnson of this group that Ferguson police do not carry a name band and refuse to provide their names when requested. "I can't set the rules for another police department."
P.S. Of the 53 members of the Ferguson police department, exactly three are black skinned officers. This in a town which is over 60% black. I wonder why?

Not too bad for this type of book, usually pretty predictable, at least for the romance. I would have liked to know if all the cousins came back for the inheritance and what was in the soup that made everyone sick.

" Cody Jameson knows that hiring gourmet chef Vivienne Clayton for the Circle C Ranch "has" to be a mistake. He once secretly loved her, but she's back in tiny Clayton, Colorado, for just a year. Vivienne wonders how she'll survive in the town she couldn't leave fast enough. Yet she soon finds herself cooking beans and biscuits for cowboys and helping Cody with his sassy teenage sister. To the entire ranch's surprise, it seems like this big-city chef might actually stand a chance of becoming a cowboy's lady forever."… (more)

Acta to catch Bush's first pitch at opener
Acta to catch Bush's first pitch at opener
Third baseman Ryan Zimmerman will accompany President Bush onto the field.
"[The Lerner group] thought it would be appropriate to represent our team and the youth of out team [with] Ryan Zimmerman, [who] would be a good person to accompany the president," Kasten said. "The strength of our team is our leader -- manager Manny Acta. Those choices seem obvious to us. It has always been our thinking."
Said Acta on catching the president, "I feel honored by the Lerner family, Stan, [general manager] Jim [Bowden] and the team to choose me to do this. It's an honor, obviously, but there is more to life than being a trivia question."
The occasion will mark the second time President Bush has thrown out the ceremonial first pitch at a Nationals game. The first one occurred on April 14, 2005, when Washington played its first game at Robert F. Kennedy Stadium.
President Bush has attended four Nationals games, and the team is 2-2 in those games. The last time he was at a Nationals game was July 5, 2007, when the Nationals lost to the Cubs, 4-2.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 17/3/2014 (1193 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
WINNIPEG — The normally boisterous halls of St. Andrews School were quiet Monday afternoon.
The sounds of laughing children and parents confirming play dates were noticeably absent as news of the mauling death of seven-year-old Gracie Herntier-Clark continued to spread and sink in.
Instead, there were hushed conversations, quiet tears and sniffles during the daily after-school pick-up.
"I'm sad because of my friend," said eight-year-old Haylee Ducharme. "I'm in Grade 3 and she's in Grade 2. We'd be partners in gym pretty much all the time for warm-up.
"She was nice, sweet and very fun."
Gracie died Sunday after she was mauled by two Alaskan malamute dogs near Oakbank while visiting family friends.
A Grade 2 student at St. Andrews School in the RM of St. Andrews, Gracie was playing outside when the dogs attacked her. There were no known witnesses to the mauling, RCMP said.
Gracie was rushed to hospital but did not survive.
The school's principal and vice-principal went classroom to classroom first thing in the morning to talk about the tragedy with the students, following an email sent out to parents. The school brought in grief counsellors to help children and staff cope with the loss.
Gracie lived with her grandparents and regularly visited the childless Oakbank couple who own the dogs, said a neighbour of the owners.
Neighbour Kristin Nicholson said she is still in shock. The two malamutes, named Bear and Shadow, were frequently around her own daughters, Jenna, 4, and Kaeli, 7. There are no fences between their yards, and the dogs would run around loose, as does Nicholson's dog, a setter. She pointed to a trail through the snow the malamutes made between their two yards.
"We'd be outside and they'd be here running around all the time," she said. "To have them turn like that? They seemed like giant teddy bears."
The only thing that gave Nicholson pause was the size of the dogs. "The dogs are huge," she said. She or her husband were always outside with their girls when the dogs were around, she said.
The dogs are being held by Dan Fryer, an animal control and animal protection officer for the RM of Springfield. "Their future depends on the RCMP investigation," he said.
Gracie had been a student since kindergarten at St. Andrews School, Lord Selkirk School Division Supt. Scott Kwasnitza said Monday.
"They're understandably devastated by this, particularly the teachers who taught her in kindergarten, in Grade 1, and (this year) in Grade 2," Kwasnitza said.
Grief counsellors were in the school at 8:30 a.m. Monday and will likely be there for several more days. Kwasnitza said that teachers are not telling the children how Gracie died.
"You don't want to frighten children — some of those details are better discussed at homes with families," he said. "We didn't want to add to the stress by scaring children."
News of the child's death came as a shock to Brandon Humane Society shelter manager Tracy Munn, who said she felt "sick to her stomach" when she heard what happened to the seven-year-old.
"My heart aches for all of them," Munn said.
Alaskan malamutes are a large breed, and Munn says they can be "wonderful." But, they do have a prey drive.
"A malamute is a really big dog," she said. "I don't want to condemn that breed by any means because of something horrible that happened but … any dog can do damage."
Munn says something must have set off the dogs, as "dogs just don't attack and kill somebody for no reason."
"Usually when a child is mauled … it's because something's heightened, something's gone off in the dogs," she said.
Sudden movements or sounds might trigger a dog's instincts.
"When a dog is having a seizure they start to move and make sounds, a dog close to them will attack them."
Alyssa Fletcher, owner of Grassroots Grooming in Brandon, said the news came as a shock to her as well.
"I would say (Alaskan malamutes) have a stronger prey drive, but not usually towards people," she said. "Clearly this is out of character … Those dogs aren't bred to be aggressive, they're bred to survive in harsh climates and territories."
Having grown up around dogs, Haylee's mother, Sandra Ducharme, has told her children what to do when meeting a strange canine.
"You ask the owner if you can pet it," Haylee said. "And never put your face in the dog's face."
Ducharme said every child should be taught that dogs need to be treated with a healthy dose of respect and the knowledge that they can be extremely unpredictable.
"Some of them have the best lives but sometimes, something triggers them (to be violent). Not all dogs are like that, but all dogs can be like that," she said.
RCMP spokeswoman Tara Seel said it's not clear what prompted the attack, and the exact cause of death is not being released.
The girl was being supervised by an adult, but it doesn't appear anyone witnessed the mauling, Seel said.
"This is just a tragedy all around and you never like to hear about this type of thing. You feel for everyone involved."
Charges are not being ruled out.
"We're still in the thick of the investigation," Seel said.

Revision for "From: Jonathan Traviesa" created on 10 April, 2012 @ 23:23
From: Jonathan Traviesa

Date: Tue, Apr 3, 2012 at 11:41 AM
Subject: The CAC and Embracing "This Golden Moment"

Dear Everyone Involved,

As an artist in "SPACES", I stand behind nearly every emotion and idea offered up by my fellow artists so far. I feel the need not to express my similar opinions in such length (for that: reread the honest feelings of distrust by Kyle Bravo, reread the examples of other institution's functioning brilliance sited by Sophie Lvoff, and reread the articulate, multi-tiered plan of action laid out by Bob Snead; in fact reread everything offered up so far, and then maybe reread them again.

The truth is that the level of the CAC's competence is no longer adequate for the rising quality of the contemporary art scene in New Orleans. (The "writing" has been all over St Claude. That scene exists in significant part because of your inadequacy to properly engage and support the talent blooming in {and moving to} this city.) The international eye of the art-world is focusing sharper on New Orleans and it is a saddening shame to witness the CAC not embracing this golden moment. My hope is that you will not just understand us but to also act upon this understanding.

Maybe it is not too late. BE BRAVE, and START TONIGHT !

Jonathan Traviesa

CORAL GABLES, Fla. - Head coach Al Golden, selected student-athletes and assistant coaches appeared at the weekly football press conference on Tuesday.
Al Golden Press Conference
USF Game
Nov. 13, 2012
Opening Statement...
"We're preparing for South Florida, a team that we went 1-1 against the last two games, and both games were three-point margins. We're getting them after a bye week. They lost their quarterback [BJ] Daniels in their win versus UConn, so I don't know what direction they're going to go in at quarterback. Certainly they're going to have time to make some changes and put in some wrinkles for us. We have to be ready and prepared to adjust on the fly on offense. They're very good in the red zone and excellent on third down on offense. They have an explosive element in [Andre] Davis, I think he has six touchdowns and 38 catches, and [Terrence] Mitchell on the other side. They went with the young tight end [Sean] Price last week and he answered with three catches and a touchdown versus UConn. [Demetri] Murray, their tailback, is having a nice year for them, five touchdowns and 476 yards. I think we're weary of their running game.
"On the other side, I think it's an excellent defense. I really do. The inside tackles are outstanding, led by [Cory] Grissom. They rotate a lot of them through there; he's a load to block. I said this last year about [DeDe] Lattimore and [Sam] Barrington - I think they're excellent. They're physical, instinctive and good in the run and pass game - two young men that have played an awful lot of snaps. We thought highly of [Kayvon] Webster a year ago, and he's not disappointing this year at 62 tackles. Their safeties are rotated down a lot in their zone blitz packages, and in a lot of their quarter packages. They're active and around the football, so we have to make sure we account for them.
"We're expecting a fresh USF team with some new wrinkles and things we're going to have to adjust to on gameday. The biggest thing with our guys is making sure we can be fresh, can prepare and really anticipate for a game that amounts to a physical rivalry year-in and year-out. We have to get ourselves ready to go."
On the potential for future matchups with USF...
"It's going to get a little cloudy in terms of how we manage that. Are we ultimately going to nine games in our conference? What's the alliance with Notre Dame going to bring? Who's going to play them and when? I think it's something we have to continue to look at and identify what direction we're going to go in...We're working right now with Blake to get it ironed out and get it fixed. We'll do a good job with that."
On how to schedule out-of-conference games...
"We have to construct to have the ability to win the Coastal [Division]. I think that's the biggest thing. We have to construct, and we have to make sure that everybody understands that when you walk in this building, the way out and the way to get to where we want to go is first through our division - which we haven't won - and then go to Charlotte. I would like to see us play Kansas State and Notre Dame. In other words, if you're going to play No. 1 and No. 3, let's play them in Charlotte and then let's play them in the BCS game. Let's not play them week two or week five on the road. We're taking ourselves out of the tournament pretty quickly by doing that. I think it's important we understand that, moving forward. Our first priority has to be to get to Charlotte. Let's all travel, let's go to Charlotte and have a great time. We'll play Clemson or Florida State, or whoever is on the other side. Let's enjoy that. Obviously you go from there in terms of taking the next step. We have a long way to go as a program. I'm no different than you guys...I see what you see. We have a long way to go. I'm dug in; I'm here to fix it. We have a staff that's committed to it. We had 32 young Miami Hurricanes that joined us last year that are making a difference and really joined to be a part of the solution."
On personal memories from Senior Day...
"It's tough. When you return to the locker room, it's over. The anticipation of sharing that moment with - for me it wasn't just my family or mom and dad, but my high school coaches came up - everyone that's been an integral part of your life is there, for the most part. When it's over, you're in the locker room, everyone leaves, and then it's over. There's a finality to it that, unless you experienced it as a player, it's hard. You have to keep those emotions intact and make sure that we control the elements as much as we can, so they can go out and play fast and enjoy it. Not worry about what it's going to feel about tomorrow or that night, just go out and try to concentrate on South Florida and win the game."
On his personal message to the senior class...
"They have an opportunity clearly in this week and the next two weeks to right the ship. Their legacy will be that - that they fought through it. They didn't quit. They didn't leave. They dug in and fought through the tumult, the adversity, when it certainly would have been easier for a lot of them to say 'I'm out of here.' They deserve that. They deserve to finish on a great note, a positive note. They have been through a lot. As a staff we're grateful to them and we appreciate what they have meant to our program, and hopefully they go off on a positive note here."
On Eddie Johnson's expectations in returning to the
"There's a responsibility and a level of accountability that we can't move on without. It's not 'do this for me,' (it's) 'do it because the rest of the team is doing it, because you want to be accountable and you want to be responsible and you want to be a good teammate. I've been in this situation before. Hopefully he'll come out of it stronger and respond. I've been in situations where, two or three years down the road, you look back and say that was a moment I finally realized what I'm giving up or what I'm costing the team. As a coach, you can't look the other way when those types of things are going on. Hopefully he learned from it, but I think the rest of it is in-house."
On Allen Hurns' injury...
"We have a cast on his hand right now. We're protecting it. We'll see how it evolves on Thursday. We want to protect him certainly through Thursday and see if there can be some kind of soft splint or tape job he can go to. He has a little crack and he's working through it in his thumb. It's not in his joint or anything that's career-threatening. He's been cleared to proceed.
"It happened on our first long kickoff run - he had an unbelievable block and finished the play. Then he goes out and catches four balls, blocks his tail off and catches two touchdowns. You have to be tough to do what he did."
On increased suspensions in college football...
"Back in the day you would leave a guy home or leave him off the roster. Now you have access to so much more information, but they're dumb enough to tweet during the game that they're not there. I'm being honest with you - that's what we're dealing with. They don't think that you guys are hooked up to what they're saying on Twitter.
"I will say this, it does resonate and strike a cord with the team when you come in here Monday and Jeff Fisher suspends two guys for curfew violations before their game with San Francisco. They do understand now it's not something that's just in college. You can't operate a team if guys aren't doing what they need to do."
On his 'Twitter policy' with the team...
"Make sure you know you represent the university and our alumni and our administration and our football program. You can lose a lot of sleep in December and January if you are responding - physically or mentally - to everything you read or see. Half of it is not true...The only thing I feel strongly about from a team policy is that this is not going away. It's not going away. You have to teach them how to make good choices, and the responsibility that goes along with it, and hope they make good decisions. I haven't had to pull anybody's social media rights. We're trying to teach them."
On what seniors Brandon McGee and Mike James have
meant to the team...
"They've been incredible. Both of them have been very resilient. I was just telling somebody yesterday that Brandon McGee doesn't get enough credit for being the leader he has been. Brandon has always been gifted and fast, he was blessed with raw talent to play the corner position. I think what we're seeing now is that he's a guy committed to working on his tools. He's so much tougher now than he was when we first got here. I think he would be the first to tell you that. He's a leader for us. If you said that to me a year ago, on a scale of 1-10, would Brandon emerge as a team leader or team captain, I would say the answer is 2 or 3. I'm really proud of him. I can't say enough about Mike James, I think you guys know that.
"But there are other guys in there like Davon Johnson. During one of those bye weeks, we were battling 'am I playing favoritism?' and all that. Davon Johnson, to me, is one of the greatest stories of the year - what that kid has done, and his development, and what he's been through. Now he's a guy that goes out there and he's a real contributor, he practices his tail off. I wish I had Davon for a couple more years. Jake [Wieclaw] had a couple bad weeks there, but he's really straightened it out. Other than those two games, he has been fantastic. And [Dalton] Botts is having a great season. There are other seniors, obviously, but those are some of the guys that come to mind."
On the recent lack of playing time for Darius Smith...
"Nobody likes not to play. There are other guys that are playing better than him right now. He has an opportunity every day in practice. I think certainly the emergence of Curtis Porter has taken some of his reps away; Earl Moore and Dequan Ivery have taken some of his reps away. That's unfortunate, but that happens in college football. The only thing he can control is having a positive attitude and going to work tomorrow and hoping to have another opportunity."
On an increase in starters contributing on special
"I see it more often than not. I saw it certainly at Florida State, for two years in a row, we saw it with them. All their starters playing [on special teams]. A lot of guys on Notre Dame that we played. I could go on and on. They don't need to play on three units. If they're a rotation guy, they play on two units; if they're a starter, they play on one. It improves your team. With guys that are covering kicks, you want guys like Denzel Perryman and guys that are trained in tackling and reading ball angles and things of that nature. It really helps you."
On the importance of kickoff coverage and field
"It wasn't just that we let [Virginia] on a 16-play drive to lose the game. We had two opportunities to close out on offense and gave them really good field position. That's three weeks in a row. We're working like crazy on it.
"A lot of it is personnel. We've had a lot of changes. Obviously when you lose Deon [Bush] and Gabe [Terry] and guys like that, elite cover guys in terms of speed and strength, it hurts. We've made a lot of changes there. We need some guys to step up and respond - [Raphael] Kirby and people like that...We just need other guys to step up. Dallas Crawford has stepped up. We need other guys to step up."
On Ladarius Gunter's emergence in the secondary...
"There were no corners on the team. It's not like there were some - there were none. He went all over and came back with a really good group. He went all over. We got LG and he's really developed and done a nice job. Most people think he's a junior because he came from a junior college, but he's a sophomore. We're happy with his progress.
"Of course Tracy [Howard] has really grown up the last couple weeks. Antonio Crawford is going to be really good - he's a competitor. After we were watching Plant playing Miramar, we kept saying 'who is this guy covering Malcolm Lewis?' We went up there and got him. I think Nate Dortch is going to be really good. It's a good class - we needed it. We have Nate and Larry [Hope] that are redshirting, so there will be some separation there. Hopefully that group will help us turn the corner. As well as the safeties, I really like our safeties too."On the play of Curtis Porter...
"He probably played too many plays last week, to be honest. But his conditioning is improving. His attitude has been great. We're really trying to push him to get him basically eight weeks' worth of conditioning in two weeks. I think he'll be better this week. He was better last week, and I think we got to a point where we played him too much. If we made any mistake, it was playing him too much in the game. He is very effective when he's in there. He's a young man that - if he can just stay healthy and buy into a process with consistency - he can be as good as he wants to be."

What about Steroids
This taboo subject is rarely spoken about in the open yet steroids are in widespread use all across the world. It is apparently rampant in baseball, cycling, eastern block nations swimming and other Olympic sports. There have been a number of MMA fighters who've tested positive and served suspensions and probably the most high profile case was Lance Armstrongs recent battle with the officials.
Perhaps it is time for doctors and other officials to look at this in a new light. What with Lance Armstrong having recovered from testicualr cancer and to come back and win several Tour de France, maybe we are not opening our eyes to the advantages of steroids.
What do you think? Should we consider a new outlook?
Steroids are commonly used for medical benefit for a wide variety of diseases and ailments. This isnt a new subject at all.
This has been done to death and always leads to the exact same place.

RocEcho Jimi Hendrix
ArtistsitrA ZionoiZ AKA Steve Kreuscher(see more by this artist)
This is an artistic memorial to the late great, Jimi Hendrix. It is another 3D 12 Layer digital Portrait that also, like my other ones, could be made into a 12 foot high, 12 foot wide and 12 foot deep, (with 12 layers deep), Art Installation memorial, which would actually animate and sparkle with color as you walk around in front of it.
In April 2011, I came up with a new art technique, of multi-layered 3D Designs meant to be created as 12' high x 12' wide by about 12' deep Art Installations that would actually animate and sparkle with light and color, right before your eyes as you walk around in front of them. Your movement would actually be the force that would animate them. The following gallery is the many different "Multi-layered 3D RocEcho Animated Designs" that I have come up with. The first breakthrough design was my "Rococo Jesus", which has opened up a new incredible endless door of design possibilities. My new technique works best with Portraits, but also works very good with silhouettes of members in Bands for very powerful and unique album cover designs. I have high hopes of getting either businesses, art museums or Bands to use my unique designs to be built as large 12 foot Art Installations. If you know anyone, who may be interested, please send them my way ! Thank you for viewing my RocEcho Designs, I hope that you enjoy them.

It's time, Dan. Right now.
When the U.S. government, with it's long and distinguished history of positive relations with Native Americans, tells you you're being insensitive...it's time to take the hint.
Today, a governmental agency you've never heard of told Washington Redskins owner Dan Snyder that "Washington Redskins" no longer has trademark protection as it is, surprisingly, "disparaging to a substantial composite of American Indians." All I can guess is that messages like this...
...became impossible to ignore.
C'mon Dan. It's time. Change the name. Swallow some of your pride, take the risk of alienating some clueless fans, and find another moniker for your team. It's time to do the right thing.
Also, let's be completely clear on one thing. Just because white people say "Redskins" doesn't bother them does not make it OK. It makes us white people sound as stupid and insensitive as we've certainly proven ourselves to be in the past. Saying you aren't offended by teams that reference a group of people's heritage like the "Fightin' Irish" or "Vikings" IS NOT THE SAME! Would we allow a team to be called the "San Antonio Wetbacks", or do we suppose our Latino brothers and sisters might find that a tad offensive?
While I could go on and on about the need for a change, and how we would never do this to another group of people, you should read a piece written by a Native American who makes an argument that is impossible to refute. Exactly what does "Redskin" mean?

By Chris Harris
Andrey Arshavin has come to a firm conclusion after one month with Arsenal - English football is harder than it looks on TV!
The Russian playmaker wrapped up his move from Zenit St. Petersburg on transfer-deadline day and has made a steady improvement in each of his three appearances for Arsène Wenger's team.
Arshavin operated in his favoured central role at West Brom on Tuesday night and troubled the home side throughout with his quick feet and eye for a pass. The 27-year-old capped an impressive display with an assist for Kolo Toure's first-half goal but he admits that the reality of English football is a far cry from the armchair view.
"I watched the matches that were broadcast in Russia whenever possible," said Arshavin. "But to tell the truth it seemed less difficult on TV. Only now do I understand how dynamic and hard the football is here.
"Now I would like to score as soon as possible. Everybody expected me to score in my very first match but that never happens, especially with me. But nothing was easy and immediate for me. Arsenal is no exception. So I need patience and hard work now.
"The main task now is to get into the Champions League for next season."
Like all foreign players, Arshavin is having to wrestle with a new language as well as a new style of football. But the Russian international has given himself a head-start in that respect.
"I began my English studies about two years ago," he revealed.
"I had no solid plans [of moving to London]. But I already thought about England and moreover English is an international language and can be handy everywhere. All experienced people said that the better you know the language the easier it will be. And even if I had not left Russia, knowledge of a foreign language cannot be a waste."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

text: Im still in the process of moving to RicFlair country, so my posts have been slow. But all hail the BengalCats who own the best 111 game start in team history. They have clinched the playoffs because there is no way they cant win 26 of their next 51 games(which would give them a 101-61record). The Chisoxers would have to go 37-24 MINIMUM over the same stretch to beat us. That is a .606 winning pct. They are only playing .596 ball now. The tigers are already 5-1 this month so they can finish the next 23 games at 14-9 and sept at 16-10 MINIMUM to give them an astounding 105 WINS!! Are yall happy now??? The numbers dont lie. This week we will have a playoff practice against the TwinSox so i hope we work on moving the runners over with less than 1 out and trying to steal more bases. A 4-3 week (includes yesterday) would be fine with me, if we play well.

While we're still awaiting news on the future of Pentax's compact camera range, its digital SLR range continues to expand in interesting directions, with the launch of the latest semi-pro model. The K20D has been developed in partnership withSamsung who are responsible for the camera's powerful new 14.6-megapixel CMOS sensor. It replaces the 10.2-megapixel K10D, launched last year, and joins the K200D and K100D Super in Pentax's current range.
Pentax is one of the original "Big Five" Japanese camera companies, alongside Nikon, Canon, Minolta (RIP) and Olympus, and has a history dating back to 1919. Traditionally Pentax's core market has been the amateur enthusiast photographer, with a long series of affordable but high-qualitySLRs such as the Spotmatic, ME Super and P30, although it has also produced some outstanding professional models over the years, including the current 645NII and 67II medium-format film cameras. Pentax has always played second fiddle to market leaders Nikon and Canon, and even now has a much smaller share of the digital SLR market than any of the other major players. However the brand's rich history of quality and innovation is still apparent in the current models.
The K20D has a range of features that put it into the top bracket of current semi-pro DSLRs. As well as the most powerful sensor of any camera this side of Canon's £2,500 full-frame EOS 1Ds Mk III, it has a tough weatherproof alloy body, body-integral sensor-shift image stabilisation, 2.7-inch 230k LCD monitor, expanded dynamic range function and even live monitor view. The K20D costs around £769 body-only or £899 in a kit with an 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 lens, which compares very favourably with other high-endDSLRs . Arguably the closest matches in terms of specification are the Nikon D300 (£1,100 body-only) and the Sony Alpha A700 (£1,000 body-only), both of which have 12.2-megapixel sensors, but the Pentax comfortably beats both models on resolution and more importantly on price. The only fly in the ointment is the GX-20, from Pentax's business partner Samsung. The GX-20 is virtually identical to the K20D, but costs about £20 less for the same kit. Of course the Samsung badge on the front doesn't have quite the same cachet as the Pentax name, so maybe that's worth the extra.

Bananas, apples, oranges and grapes may be perennial favorites in the United States, but mangoes are the most widely consumed fruit in the world, according to "Wellness Foods A to Z: An Indispensable Guide for Health-Conscious Food Lovers." It's easy to understand the widespread appeal of this fragrant, succulent fruit – its orange flesh tastes like a ultra-sweet blend of pineapple and peach. Even though they're relatively high in sugar, mangoes aren't a "forbidden fruit" for most diabetics.
Diabetes Diet
The main objective of any diabetes diet is to keep blood glucose levels under control. Carbohydrates – which are primarily found in fruits, vegetables, grain products and processed foods made with added sugars – have a far greater influence on blood glucose than either protein or fat. Eating the same, limited amount of carbohydrates at regular times each day helps diabetics maintain normal blood sugar levels. According to the University of Maryland Medical Center, between 45 and 65 percent of the calories in a diabetes diet should come from carbohydrates – preferably those provided by fruits, vegetables, whole grains and other nutrient-dense, fiber-rich foods.
Effects of Fruit
The American Diabetes Association regards fruit as a valuable part of a healthy diabetes diet. Not only is it a source of vitamin C, potassium, fiber and other important vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, but it can also satisfy cravings for sugary processed foods. Although most of the carbohydrates in fruit are simple sugars – which your body absorbs more readily than complex carbohydrates, or starch – fiber slows the rate at which these sugars enter your bloodstream. Your blood glucose levels are actually more affected by the amount of carbohydrates you consume – a large serving of mango or any other fruit will raise your blood sugar levels more substantially than a small serving.
Portion Size
General dietary guidelines for diabetics define a single serving of fruit as one that contains approximately 15 grams of carbohydrates. That's about the amount you'll get from half a small mango, according to the standard exchange list for diabetic meal planning. A 1-cup serving of chopped mango has just less than 25 grams of carbohydrates, which means a heaping 1/2-cup serving has right around 15 grams, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. By comparison, you'd get the same amount of carbohydrates from 2 tablespoons of raisins, 1 cup of fresh raspberries, half a large pear or one small banana, orange or apple.
If you've been advised to follow a diabetic diet, ask your health-care provider for specific recommendations regarding fruit. Some physicians and dieticians advocate limiting fruit consumption because it's a source of fructose. Fructose accounts for roughly 30 percent of the sugar in mangoes, according to the USDA. Since fructose is metabolized by your liver, too much of it can raise your triglyceride levels. If you are able to include a variety of fruit in your diet, choosing mango will significantly boost your intake of two important vitamins – a 1/2-cup serving of the chopped fruit supplies 50 percent and 18 percent of the daily values for vitamins C and A, respectively.

Background: Font color:
Congratulations Ginny, Colin! Hermione exclaimed as she smiled up at the happy bride and groom. You look beautiful, sweetie, in your lovely white dress!
And you look lovely in pale purple- and not orange! Ginny exclaimed, laughing.
I cant believe its been seven months since then, Hermione said, sighing. Shed been having a lot of symptoms of classic post traumatic stress disorder, but they had gotten better as time when on.
Well, its ok, now you have Ari, and Ron, and me, and everyone! Hermione beamed as Ariyana gurgled on her lap.
Now you better stop shaking her like that, youre gonna rattle her brains! Rons voice came from behind Hermione. He leaned down and kissed her forehead, and then crouched down to see his daughter.
Damn tux. Seriously, Ginny, this thing is two sizes too small.
Well, Ronald, if you would have accompanied us to the tux shoppe to try on the suit beforehand, I wouldnt have had to guess your height and girth, now would I? Ginny said, putting her hands on her hips.
Eek, woman, thank merlin youre married. You need to get out of that house, you look exactly like mum! Ron exclaimed. They laughed together.
Come here, you, Ron said, bending down to pick Ariyana up. Hermione smiled as she watched the two. They were absolutely wonderful together. Ariyana didnt have the red Weasley hair, but she had Rons blue eyes.
Ahhh, my two babies, Hermione sighed, settling back to watch the two play.
What? Im most certainly not a baby! Ron said, pouting slightly. Hermione smiled and patted his leg as she got up to walk around and greet people. She talked briefly to the Longbottoms and the elder Weasleys. Still, she felt a certain uneasiness among all the people there. Shed been having symptoms of agoraphobia and still didnt like to leave the house. Slowly she was learning to get over it, but every once in a while the feelings of uneasiness would resurface.
Hermione! She spun around only to have a bright light flash in her face.
Joseph Kearns? She asked, squinting.
Long time no see, eh? He asked, smiling at her.
No, I guess not. I didnt know you knew Ginny and Colin.
Um, I dont, actually. Im here on Percys behalf since he cant be here. He smiled meekly.
Oh, of course, of course.
You looked beautiful standing up there next to her as maid of honor, he said, blushing fiercely.
Oh-er-thanks, she replied awkwardly.
Well, Ill see ya around, eh? he asked, nervous laughter invading his voice.
Of course! Goodbye! She shook his hand and then bounced back to Ron and Ariyana. When she arrived, she saw Draco Malfoy sitting in the chair that she had vacated.
Draco! she exclaimed.
Hi. I came for the cake, he said, licking a glob of icing off his finger.
Nice, she replied sitting next to him. Ron had finally warmed up to the idea of Hermione and Draco being friends, but he still didnt want to have anything to do with it.
So, I got a job at the Ministry. Ever since word got out that I helped you, Ive been accepted back into the community. Im thinking about starting auror training, what do you think? he asked.
I think its a wonderful idea. I never really did think that being a telemarketer suited you, Hermione laughed.
Yeah. Stupid bloody telephones. Its the most ridiculous invention Ive ever seen. Of course I havent seen many inventions, he said.
Well, just wait till you see a pet rock. No idea what the muggles were thinking when that happened. She smiled at him. In Rons arms, Ariyana had began to cry.
I think its feeding time! If youll excuse me, Hermione said, grabbing Ari and vacating the table.
Everything in her life had finally fallen in to place. No threat would ever come near her again now that her family was back together.
Of course she didnt see Joseph Kearns disapparate away from the wedding party. She also didnt know that he promptly printed the photo and pasted it on a wall in his small shack devoted solely to her. But then, what she didnt know wouldnt kill her, would it?

One of three known examples of the large crude New York Post Office 24c hand stamp, and the only one on a cover bearing the British 1sh embossed adhesive.
Beginning in July 1, 1840, Samuel Cunard's line of British packet steamers began carrying letters between the U.S. and U.K., at a rate of 1 shilling (equivalent to 24c). With tens of thousands of letters on each ship, this became a substantial source of income for Cunard (and because of their contract with him, the British Government). However, in July 1847, the U.S. Ocean Line began carrying letters from the U.S. to the U.K. in competition with the Cunard steamers, also at a rate of 24c. The British, fearing a loss of revenue, decided to charge these incoming letters an additional 1 shilling (24c), even though they had performed no transatlantic service. After a year of unsuccessful negotiations, the U.S. government decided to retaliate, and to similarly charge an additional 24c on letters carried on Cunard steamers (which were already subject to a 1sh charge in the U.K.). This letter was sent via the Cunard steamer Caledonia, on the first westbound saying under the retaliatory rates. It was posted in Norwich, England and sailed from Liverpool on June 24, 1848, reaching New York on July 8. The six-month "retaliatory rate" period finally brought the British to the bargaining table and led to the first U.S.-U.K. Postal Agreement in December 1848.

10 Tips to Help You Eat Well for Life (Page 2)
Tip 1: Load Up on Fruits & Vegetables
At present, only one in four Americans gets the 5 to 13 daily servings of fruits and vegetables the USDA recommends. Simply upping your consumption of fruits and vegetables—foods packed with vitamins, minerals and antioxidants—helps to lower your risk of heart disease and diabetes.

Shown Here:
Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network Amendments Act of 2000 - Amends the Public Health Service Act to require that the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network: (1) be operated by (currently, be) a private nonprofit entity; (2) have a policy board elected by Network members (currently, have a board of directors that includes organ procurement organization representatives), with about 50 percent being transplant surgeons and transplant physicians and about 25 percent being transplant candidates, recipients, donors, and their family members; (3) establish medical criteria for allocating organs and for listing and de-listing patients; and (4) establish transplant policies, including allocation policies and policies that affect patient outcomes. Sets forth requirements for those policies, including that: (1) the policies be designed to avoid wasting organs and futile transplants; (2) priority rankings be based on standardized medical criteria and ordered according to medical urgency and appropriateness; and (3) disparities in transplantation resulting from socioeconomic status, race, ethnicity, geographic area or region of residence or transplantation, or being medically underserved be reduced. Regulates policy adoption procedures.
Reported to Senate with amendment(s) (04/13/2000)
Directs the Secretary of Health and Human Services to establish the Scientific Advisory Committee on Organ Transplantation, empowering it to disapprove of comments or revisions by the Secretary to policies revised or reaffirmed by the Board. Prohibits, when the Committee so disapproves, revised or reaffirmed policies from becoming effective until the Committee approves the policy or revisions. Requires that Committee members be appointed by the Secretary.
Requires the Comptroller General to study and report to appropriate congressional committees on the review process for enforceable transplant policies under these provisions, examining the Advisory Committee's role.
Directs the Secretary to contract, through competitive bidding, with a nonprofit private entity for Network administration and operation (Administrator). Limits contracts to five years.
Authorizes the Administrator to assess and collect fees for Network membership and listing of potential recipients in amounts that are reasonable and customary and sufficient to cover Network operational costs.
Requires the Board and Administrator to monitor Network participants' operations for compliance with Board criteria and policies. Requires the Board to establish a peer review system and conditions for the application of peer review requirements to ensure compliance. Requires the Board or Administrator to advise the Secretary on action concerning noncompliance or a risk to the health of transplant patients or public safety. Authorizes the Board or the Secretary to impose sanctions for violations.
Authorizes appropriations.
(Sec. 3) Directs the Secretary, by contract, to develop and maintain a scientific registry of transplant recipients.
(Sec. 4) Directs the Secretary to establish an interagency task force on organ donation and research to improve coordination and evaluation of federally supported or conducted organ donation and basic, clinical, and health services research. Allows termination of the task force at the discretion of the Secretary after completion of two annual reports. Directs the Secretary: (1) on termination, to provide for ongoing coordination; (2) directly or though grants or contracts, to carry out a comprehensive national public education program to increase donation, including living donation; (3) to support the development and dissemination of model curricula to train health care and other professionals (including religious leaders and law enforcement officials) in donation issues, including approach methods and cultural sensitivities; and (4) contract with the Institute of Medicine for an evaluation of the donation practices of organ procurement organizations, States, other countries, and other organizations that have achieved a higher than average organ donation rate and examine existing donation barriers. Authorizes appropriations.
(Sec. 5) Requires that a qualified organ procurement organization, notwithstanding any other provision of law, meet current requirements plus be certified or recertified by the Secretary in the previous four-year period as meeting performance standards through one of two specified processes. Replaces provisions requiring an organ procurement organization to have an allocation system with provisions requiring it to assist the Network in the allocation of organs.
(Sec. 7) Directs the Secretary to provide for a study (directly or by grant to a public or nonprofit private entity) and report to Congress on the costs of immunosuppressive drugs provided to children pursuant to organ transplants and to determine the extent to which health plans, health insurance, and Government programs cover those costs.

This leads me to believe Z had a swaggar to him that helped to escalate the situation. Again, he has no duty to retreat but it certainly sounds like he could have avoided the confrontation. During my CPL class it was stressed that as a person carrying a weapon, we should be more aware of our surroundings and make an effort to avoid situations that can turn bad. Doesn't sound like Z heeded this advice.
From a technical standpoint I agree with your post.
Now, let's say Z did initiate contact, asked T-Dawg what he was doing in the wrong hood, T-Dawg got all yo dawg I'm mindin my own business walkin all thug like with my hoodie up in yo hood and what the fukc you gonna do about it,
T-dawg relax, I'm just out on neighborhood watch and didn't recognize you....
No you relax you racist mutha fucka, I'ma beat yo ass
T-dawg now beats the shit out of Z, Z shoots him as he was fearing his life.
You see, that's the exact same story you posted, but from a different perspective.
I mean, punk ass 17 year old kids of any race are never argumentative, bigger than the world or confrontational when someone questions them, right?
I have no idea what happened, all I know is that I don't know T, I don't know Z, and I'm guessing it won't affect my life much.

Former Revolution Midfielder In Need Of Kidney Transplant
Wednesday, April 02, 2014
Simms, a nine-year MLS veteran, is currently battling Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis (FSGS). FSGS is a disease that leaves scaring in the kidneys. The disease has recently progressed to the point that Simms is in need of a kidney transplant. The average wait time on the kidney transplant list is about four years, yet many people facing kidney disease require going on dialysis long before that time. Simms being one of those people.
In a statement on RevolutionSoccer.net Simms said, "I've never really talked about this because I always chose the mind over matter approach, but my health has gotten to a point where I can no longer do that. When I was a freshman in high school, we discovered that I suffered from FSGS, the same kidney disease as Alonzo Mourning. When I started playing with D.C., my kidney function was around 50 percent, and the last three years of my career, it has gotten down to about 20 percent.
"I fell in love with this sport at a young age and was determined not to let anything stop me. Unfortunately, for the past 10 years I have been dealing with kidney disease and it has become too tough for me to compete at this level anymore. I made sure for as long as I could I would still fight for my dream, my passion. I was very lucky to have had such a great run, but now it's time to fight another battle."
The Revolution are showing their support for Simms by setting up www.revolutionsoccer.net/OurFriendClyde. The page provides information on Simms, kidney disease and kidney donation. The page also provides helpful information from the National Kidney Foundation.
Fans can support Simms by using the hashtag #OurFriendClyde on Twitter or by emailing [email protected] with words of support or encouragement. Fans can also call his donation center at Mass General Live Donation Center - 617-643-7193.

Source: Braves interested in free agent Cody Ross
The Atlanta Braves, looking to add an outfield bat, have interest in signing free-agent outfielder Cody Ross, according to a major-league source.
With Torii Hunter likely choosing between the Rangers and Tigers, the Braves are pursuing another of the top right-handed bats on the market. Ross posted an .807 OPS with 22 home runs in 130 games with the Boston Red Sox last season.
Ross has a good relationship with Atlanta manager Fredi Gonzalez, dating back to their time together with the Marlins. The Braves covet Ross' ability to hit left-handed pitching – a 1.010 OPS this year – particularly coming off a season in which they went just 30-31 against southpaw starters.
Ross, 31, could fit in with the Braves as an everyday left fielder. Martin Prado held that position this year, but he may be needed as a replacement for the retiring Chipper Jones at third base.
Even if the Braves sign Ross, they are expected to look for a center fielder now that Michael Bourn is a free agent.
— Jon Paul Morosi
Why don't the braves try to get josh Willingham . He plays left bates 280 or so , hits 30 plus H Rs . Has a history with the manager too.

A Tales character.
This right here. If they went with a Tales character, being the 1st main character would give Cress an edge to begin with. He kind of represents the series itself. Plus his fighting style is more interesting and unique than Lloyd's is. He'd be more fun to play as.
Faceman_ posted...
People need to realize that Tales is just another generic RPG with characters who are all one offs.
To be honest, the Tales series really isn't a generic RPG at all. It's more like a Deconstruction of the RPG genre. You would need to know about literature terms to know what I mean.
Here's a quote from the TVTropes Wiki under the Deconstruction page about the Tales Series.
"This is the entire point of the Tales Series. The modus operandi for the series is to write up the world's biggest Cliché Storm and then rip it to shreds: analysing in brutal detail why every single chapter of the fantasy book has the potential to be terrifying. The cutesy graphics mean they get away with a s***load of stuff that many other, more 'mature'-looking RPG's wouldn't be able to."
Having played a good amount of the games, I can say this statement is very true. There are some situations that you really wouldn't expect to see in a typical JRPG.
Plus the characters are arguably the most important part of the series. They have so much detail and focus aimed towards them that it usually seems like the story is told through the characters, rather than the characters going through the story. It's focus on what happens between characters: protagonist, antagonists, and NPCs, is honestly my favorite aspect about the series. More so than the battle systems.
I'm not trying to tell people to give the series a try, I'm just saying that I also didn't think much of the series until I started looking at things from this perspective. It's actually a lot deeper than it appears at first glance.

A tales of character, personally i think stahn would make a pretty good character and his move set would probably be pretty solid too
A Tales character would be my pick, with Luke as my first choice. I suppose I would be ok with Lloyd, Yuri, or Asbel, though.
nightstalker87x 4 years ago#64
i think xenosaga is great and kosmos would fit in well with her mix of melee and ranged abilities and i think would make a great addition. The issue is that was a Playstation series so not likely to appear along with any other people who never appeared on a nintendo console.
Realistically though, Pacman is namcos mascot and their most likely choice
If they did tales im hoping for asbel, sophie, or kratos but i think sheena would be an interesting addition too, I think if they go tales route the most likely choices are cress (for nastalgia), lloyd, kratos, or asbel and i wouldnt be suprised if they brought both lloyd and kratos like how they did marth a roy. pretty much reskins with slightly different strengths. Even though yuri and rita and 2 of my top 5 tales characters, they never showed up on the nintendo at any point.
pretty much my top 10 namco list of characters i want is.
1. Kos-Mos (Xenosaga)
2. Kratos (Tales of Symphonia)
3. Asbel (Tales of Graces) - originally a wii game in japan
4. Sophie (tales of Graces)
5. Klonoa ( From Klonoa. Again, i think this started as a playstation game but there is a GBA and Wii game in the series. Not a fan but i think it would make a neat throw based character)
6. Lloyd (Tales of Symphonia)
7.Sheena (Tales of Symphonia)
8. Digdug's protagonist
10. Nightmare (Soul Caliber)
and if they really felt like tekkan then king or devil

Yuri, Flynn, and Estelle showed up in Project X Zone for the 3DS. It's a cross over strategy RPG with Namco, Camcom, and Sega characters.
Several other Namco characters did too.
KOS-MOS and T-elos
Jin, Hehachi, Xiaoyu, and Alice
. . .actually I really can't remember anymore. I'm sure you can look it up somewhere. -__-;;

Elektra for UMvC 3 and Pac man for SSBWIIU
Pac Man is the only one who'd be completely recognisable. Hell, they managed to implement Mr. Game & Watch, so I can't imagine them having trouble making Pac Man into a fighting game character.
Putting a Tekken character in it would require them to move unrealistically fast (for their own universe's standards) like they had to in that one Street Fighter crossover, plus I don't find Tekken to be... well I'm trying to think of a better word than whimsical enough.
At least Solid Snake, for example, came from a series that constantly broke the fourth wall, and had ridiculous stuff like an old guy who photosynthesised and then launched his teeth eight miles into the air before he exploded, and a villain who rode a white horse while wearing a cheesy black cape over a cheesy white suit, and deadly poisonous Zanzibar hamsters, and NASA ninjas, and a guy who controlled bees, and an algae that crapped oil somehow. Snake was actually very well-suited to the world of Smash Bros when you looked at it that way.
Anything remotely as silly as that in Tekken is usually some kind of non-canon ending or hidden bonus character and I just don't feel that putting a Tekken character in a Smash game would be a good fit unless it's something like Gon or that Panda, but they're hardly flagship characters for the franchise.
Incidentally I voted for Klonoa because I love those games but fat chance of that eh?
Also I'd find it funny to have the original Doomguy in it and make him a really crappy jumper.
If you've no respect for the fact that people have put the time aside to play a game with you, play a single-player game. There are thousands to choose from.

Opinions on users change rapidly as their power-levels are exposed. -Ressechu
Lloyd or Kratos from Tales of Symphonia. It would even then make sense to include them in the Smash Brothers game, because their specific story was on Nintendo's console. Cress/Cless would also be a great choice, but I chose Kratos or Lloyd because Kratos' sword is awesome and would be able to factor into his moveset, and Lloyd would have a different fighting style from most of the other sword users in SSB because he dual wields.
Also, to the person who said if they included both Kratos and Lloyd it would be like Marth and Roy (reskins with the same movesets); I think you forget the part where Kratos uses a sword and shield and Lloyd uses two swords. That holds a pretty significant impact on their movesets.

Added some small things to the mod list. This is going much slower than I had imagined.. Still haven't got the car back from the body shop since they just yesterday received the front bumper. The oem accessory lip kit showed up yesterday.
I will be cerakoting some things under the hood to make it more visually appealing for one and to tie everything together. Not sure if I should do one color under the hood or 2. With my future plans I think I will go with 2 colors. 1 being natural cerakote the other maybe a dull gold..
Any suggestions?

Gold ALWAYS looks awesome with Red. That's what I'd go for.
What are your wheel plans? I feel like the two should match.

Would like your opinion on the exhaust finishers on RSD...saw them on eBay as well, just not sure if I'm ready to spend that amount of money on them unless they're good quality/fit.
Can't wait to see those pics when you get it back, love the red!

I'd personally go with the Nameless Performance catback... oh wait i did
No seriously, the amount of customization you have when ordering a catback from them is amazing, and the quality of their work is truly incredible. You also got the choice of different size/style of tips, location of the tips, and the size of muffler you would like (or none at all like me )
You honestly can't go wrong with them man, and they're made in the US which is a big factor for me. Don't perosnally like spending money on parts made in China :P Invidia is definitely good quality, but I'd rather keep my money on North American soil lol

I ran nameless stuff on my white 11 and wasnt a fan of the look. They make a great product. Invidia is made in Japan, yea it isn't the US but it's a far leap from china quality and let's face it.. Most American products (magnaflow) are purely ****

- EJ25 - 2.5L Non-Turbo (1998-2010) (http://www.subaruforester.org/vbulletin/f66/)
- - ('01-'02) new bottom end bearings? (http://www.subaruforester.org/vbulletin/f66/new-bottom-end-bearings-123070/)
new bottom end bearings?
'02 Forester.
Engine has 290,000 miles. The heads have been thoroughly rebuilt. New rings at the same time.
So ... the top end has about 3,000 on it, and the bottom end has about 287,000 miles.
I'm worried that it will throw a rod or the mains are wearing out.
I CAN NOT do a thorough rebuild (line-bored, thrust-cut, etc. on this engine right now. I would love to, but it's just not an option. So let's not even get into that.
I'm thinking of putting new mains and throwout bearings in there ... standard size. Also a new oil pump. What do you think? Would it be better to replace the bearings with no machine work, or just leave the old bearings in there?
Also, is it possible to replace the main bearings, throwout bearings, and oil pump while the motor is still installed? From the bottom with the oil pan off?
To replace the main bearings, you have to split the case. You can not do this in the car. The rod bearings (I believe what you are referring to when you say throwout) would be almost impossible too.
Well ... If I need to split the case, I might as well get the machine work done and do the job properly. :-|
