Absolute Fluff. Mother: Did you learn more life lessons on 7th Heaven today, Timmy?
Timmy: Sorry, couldn't get past the horrible acting. But I did learn how to make the quirky faces that the actors use to reflect the serious yet light-hearted situations of the show. |
1. | 7th heaven | ||
1) Something that should have been cancelled ages ago.
2) A show with the same plot everyday, season through season. 1) Why hasn't that show been cancelled already.
2) Lucy get mad at some boyfriend for some reason. Simon has trouble because he's been a "Rebel". Mother and father sind out. Matt tries to help. Ruthie finds out and gives advice. Everything is back to normal. awww... "isn't that cute...not" |
2. | 7th heaven | ||
A state of mind people refer to when they are really happy and in a really good mood. I just got asked out by the hottest guy in school! I'm in 7th heaven!!!

Old show that is still in rotation on TV. It's a show that is created by Aaron Spelling, who thought it would be a good idea to make a show that tells people what kind of lifestyle to live: A very sheltered one. The father is a minister who has a drunk sister who attacked his kids. How, he could be a father and disown that bitch and not let her in the house, but he had to do the "christian" thing and forgive her. Of course, the kid whom she attacked forgave her as well, when anyone with common sense knows that in reality, the kid would be traumatized for living by being vicoiusly attacked by his own aunt.
A product of Aaron Spelling's decaying brain. This is just one of the many examples of the blatent fakeness and stupidity that this show is saturated with. But, hey, I guess stupidity under a vale of morality is appealing to some people.
5. | 7th Heaven | ||
A really sappy family drama that's been on since '96.
In all honesty it really should get cancelled because the writers keep on recycling the same old stories each season. Basic episode ending.
Eric: We're really disapointed in (Fill in kids name) we love you and we want you to know that we are here for you not matter what. Annie: (Fill in kids name) your Father and I love you and we raised you to behave better than this now go on up stairs and we'll come up with a suitable grounding. Kid: Thanks Mom and Dad I love you both too. |
6. | 7th Heaven | ||
TV show that you either love or hate. The most common reasons it is watched are for family morals/values, because Barry Watson, David Gallagher, and/or George Stults are 'hot', because some comfort is found in watching the show, or for snark value.
The show is extremely highly rated, so it's obvious not that bad and has a good basic idea behind it. Daughter-Man mom that Simon is hot!
Mom-*laughs* So what has he taught you today? Daughter-That premaritial sex is fun Mom-oh...right |
7. | 7th Heaven | ||
A terrible TV series that came out in the mid 90's and ended in 2007 (finally). Focusing on the lives of the Camden family in some made up California town. The cast were all physically attractive goody two shoes types, that wore over done make up, and the plots always focused around learning some lesson, and then everything is back to normal. It was basically one of those "we have some minor problem now" but "everything will end well" type shows. Totally unrealistic, aimed to young kids, and if they actually think families act like the Camdens in real life, then they're very dumb. 7th Heaven was just terrible. The blond haired kid Simon was a total twerp who'd get beaten up in real life. Lucy and Mary both dressed like skanks and wore way to much make up, and as for Ruthie she was an annoying brat who went the same way as her sisters as she grew up. I'm convinced the only good character was the family dog, haha.

New Android App: Upload, Browse and Share on SmugMug
See More Screenshots At smu.gs/17TnhJO
For last few years, SmugFolio was the best Android app on the market for SmugMug users to upload, manage and browse SmugMug on the go. People loved it. And so did we.
In fact, that app was so great we just had to buy it. So we did.
Wait, What? Can You Do That?
After talking with the app's developer, we knew that we'd hit a gold mine of Androidical genius – Brian did such a great job designing, building and maintaining this app we knew he bleeds green just like us. And he's been a long-time SmugMug customer, to boot. So we asked if he'd come join the cadre as one of our official Android engineers. We couldn't be happier to have him on our team!

I remember giving the interview but not all the details... I hear it's about my usage of Google Plus.
I don't have the magazine so if you have it let me know if the article was good.

Is Storm Chasing Worth It?
On my second storm chase with my buddy Mike Mezeul, we chased into northeast Oklahoma, east of Highway 35. I think that day was probably the last time Mike will chase storms east of 35. You see, once you cross 35, the terrain starts changing quite a bit. Flat fields and great road networks for as far as the eye can see give way to hills and winding roads with 50ft tall trees on both sides. Good for scenery, bad for spotting storms.
So when we arrived at this storm on May 20th (same day as the Moore, OK tornado) we were right by 35 in Gainesville, on the TX/OK border. As it moved by us going northeast, we decided to let it go. The previous day of chasing was too frustrating, it was getting dark, and it was an HP 9high precipitation) supercell, meaning that and potential tornadoes would be rain-wrapped and both dangerous to chase and hard to see.

I am not all that fond of chandeliers. All that crystal smanchy pancy. Yuck! I wanted a semi-flush light in the dining room. Of course I headed over to OVERSTOCK.COM. They rarely fail me. My dining set consisted of heavy dark wood with a chrome bar underneath. I am not a big fan of chrome either. But this light struck my fancy for two weeks I lined of lights comparing them to each other and flip flopping. I finally decided on this one with some fear. It soon arrived and boy was I excited to take it out the box! Stunning! The picture does it no justice. A quietly stated elegance. The crystals are real and the white gloves come in handy to attached them. Follow the directions the crystals are three tiered and have a specific order. It only took 20-30 mins to attached them. The directions to the electrical were not clear to me I had installed lights before and it was straight forward. No need for a electrician just basic knowledge and common sense. Once my beautiful light was up. I just stared at it. Then I cut on the lights! OMG this has changed the whole room. The crystals, the scrolled drum and the slight sliver sheen underneath is mesmerizing. I tore myself away and ran to the hardware store for a dimmer switch. It is so romantic. (sigh) . People have paid me loads of compliments over this light and my dining room. It's now the crowning jewel of the house.
I really love this flush mount chandelier. I wanted a mix of modern/traditional to go with my eclectic dining room feel, and this light completely fits! The crystals add a touch of elegance and the shade is a lovely pattern. Mine doesn't really "throw" patterns across the wall despite the pattern in the shade, but it does give off great light overall. I have short ceilings -- approx 7.5-8 ft and this works PERFECTLY above our dining room table. Great buy!! Highly recommended!!
I have only briefly looked at the chandelier and it seems to match well to the description. I have not had a chance to put it up yet since my dining room needs painted. I am however, very excited to get started on putting up the chandelier and decorating.
This flushmount was purchased for a bedroom. The scale of the fixture is perfect. The flush mount allows ample clearance below the crystals. The 4 bulbs at 60 watts is more then sufficient lighting wise. Bright when you need it. I have mine on a dimmer to reduce the brightness for typical, every day use. It adds a touch of elegance without being too over the top. The shade tones the crystal aspect down to give it a modern twist. The fixture was easy to install as well. I did it in under an hour including the time to take down the lighted ceiling fan that was in its place. For general safety I would still recommend having a professional handyman or electrician install the fixture. I am highly satisfied and highly recommend the fixture.
absolutely love this light....it was exactly as described, quality was great, would definetly recommend!

TUESDAY, July 17 (HealthDay News) -- Helping patients avoid stroke and dementia risk factors, such as high cholesterol, smoking and diabetes, can leave them with a longer, healthier old age, a new study finds.
Researchers in Germany also found that by following recommended treatment guidelines and goals, fewer patients at high risk for stroke and dementia will need expensive long-term care.
"Primary prevention pays off," the study's lead author, Horst Bickel, senior researcher in the department of psychiatry at the Technical University of Munich, said in a news release from the American Heart Association. "We found that not only the risk of long-term care dependence was lower, but also that death rates decreased."
In conducting the study, the researchers followed almost 4,000 people aged 55 and older living in a rural region of Germany. Their family doctors were given brochures summarizing treatment recommendations for stroke and dementia.
Bickel's team compared outcomes among these patients to another 13,000 people in a nearby town who received care that did not focus on the prevention of these health problems.
Over the course of five years, patients treated by doctors focused on reducing risk factors saw their need for long-term care drop by about 10 percent compared to the communities that didn't have this intervention. The study also showed that the cost of inpatient treatment for these patients was reduced.
The researchers believe a focus on curbing stroke and dementia risk factors decreased the number of deaths in the intervention group from the expected 2,112 people to just 1,939.
In order to prevent stroke and dementia, doctors encouraged patients to:
"At the population level, even simple measures can lead to substantial achievements," Bickel said. "Our results are only one example of how health risks can be reduced through uncomplicated, routine treatment of risk factors in the framework of a real-world setting."
The study's authors noted their results could be applied to the United States and other Western populations that have sedentary lifestyles.
The study was published July 17 in the Journal of the American Heart Association.

Another traffic stop by the Logan County Sheriff's Department proves to be successful as deputies locate crack cocaine and drug paraphernalia.
On Sunday, Feb. 17, deputy Kyle Harvey of the Logan County Sheriff's Department, pulled over 56-year-old Deloris H. Stacker of Russellville for a traffic violation. Stacker was driving a red 2000 Grand Prix and was stopped on Ky 100 in Russellville.
During the stop, deputy Harvey detected the odor of marijuana coming from inside Stacker's vehicle. The deputy also noticed Stacker attempting to hide something inside her vehicle. When deputy Harvey asked Stacker to step out of her vehicle, she handed him a wrapper containing items of drug paraphernalia.
While the deputy was searching Stacker, she refused to remove her hand from her upper pocket and pulled away from the deputy. When Harvey forced her hand out from her pocket, Stacker dropped several suspected "crack" cocaine rocks on the ground in an attempt to conceal them.
K-9 deputy Robert Toombs responded to the scene with drug dog Jinx, who conducted an exterior sniff of the vehicle. A positive alert was indicated. Deputies then conducted a interior search of the vehicle and located a brown paper bag containing items of drug paraphernalia, as well as a small amount of marijuana residue inside Stacker's purse.
Stacker was charged with rear license not illuminated, obstructed vision/or windshield, possession of a controlled substance (cocaine), drug paraphernalia, tampering with physical evidence and resisting arrest. She was lodged in the Logan County Detention Center.
The Logan County Sheriff's Department was assisted by the Russellville Police Department.

You'll be pleasantly surprised on your visit to this Butcher's Market, but then again, it is the #1 store for your meats - local and traceable!
Have you ever gone to a butcher for better quality meat, but felt like you were in an insane asylum? The white walls, the extremely long row of freezers, the tiled floors. You won't find any of that at the #1 store – "The Meat House" located at 395 West Main Street, Avon, CT! This is definitely not your typical Butcher's Market and you can find them open daily from 9am to 7pm. You'll be welcomed with friendly and helpful service that will make you want to keep coming back to do your shopping!
Matt, the General Manager, Matt, the Head Butcher and Hali invited me to come visit "The Meat House" after reading my post on the "Importance of Knowing Where your Meat Comes From," to share with me what they are doing to educate people on just this. When you walk into "The Meat House of Avon," it looks like a much smaller version of Whole Foods. It's very warm and inviting and the Manager's of this Meat House understand the importance of providing local foods to their community. Matt, the Head Butcher, also a chef, really tries to bring in as much locally made foods as possible, helping to not only support local farmers, but making customers aware of what's available to them locally. If the meat is not local in CT, it most certainly is 100% traceable. Meaning you can pick a piece of meat that you want and any of the employee's can trace it back to the exact farm it came from through its DNA. Braveheart, one of the farms that provides their meat here, is the most traceable meat out there in this industry. Matt, the Head Butcher, knows the farmer's he's getting the meats from and works hard to make sure that all of the different meats provided here in The Meat House of Avon are treated humanely.
In a typical grocery store or even Whole Foods, meats will come in frozen for who knows how long and from several different farms. It's quite different at The Meat House. When The Meat House places their orders, they call the farmer directly, place the order and then it gets processed, ensuring the freshest meat possible. It could take up to 4 weeks before The Meat House even receives the order and that same order is coming from one farm, not several before it gets to you. The most important thing for this Butcher's Market is the traceability and knowing where their meat is coming from, ensuring the best quality products, as if you were to go to a farm and purchase it yourself.
I was blown away at the variety this shop has. Here are some of the brands and different products The Meat House carry:
- Whole Lamb, Hogs, Berkshire Breed (All Humanely Raised)
- Sepe Farm in Sandy Hook, CT – Lamb – Pasteurized & Grain-Fed, No Additives, No Antibiotics, No Hormones, Raised in Low-Stress Environment – http://www.sepefarm.com/
- Rowland Farm in Oxford, CT – Berkshire Pork – certified Berkshire, No Additives, No Hormones, No Sub-therapeutic Antibiotics – http://www.rowlandfarmhogs.com/index.html
- Blue Slope Farm in Franklin, CT – Veal Calves – http://www.blueslope.com/
- Pineland Farm – Co-op that sources from local family owned farms in New England Raised without Antibiotics, No Growth Hormones, Not fed animal by-products, fed a vegetarian diet, farms that employ sustainable farming practices & minimal environmental impact, Raised in a Responsible, Humane Manner - http://www.pinelandfarms.org/
- Braveheart – Traceable Black Angus Beef – Raised traditionally on an all Vegetarian, corn based diet – http://www.braveheartfoods.com/
- Wild Idea – Buffalo – 100% Grass Fed Only, Antibiotic & Hormone free, 100% Free Roaming, 100% Humanely Harvested – http://wildideabuffalo.com/
- Laurel Ridge Farm – Litchfield, CT – Beef, Pork, Chicken – No Antibiotics or Hormones, Grass Fed Beef – http://lrgfb.com/
- Nodine's is in Torrington & the Meat House carries their Bacon, Sausages, Smoked Duck, Smoked Chicken, Chorizo and many other products – http://www.nodinesmokehouse.com/
- Niman Ranch – All Natural Farm in California – Ground Beef, Pulled Pork – http://www.nimanranch.com/Index.aspx
- Smart Chicken – Available in Organic – http://www.smartchicken.com/
- Bison Farm in South Dakota – Grass Fed, Raised & Processed on Farm -

Stop by "The Meat House" in Avon, CT and see what amazing and different products this Butcher's Market is carrying. Have some questions of your own? Matt, the Head Butcher, is happy to come around and talk anyone about the products. It's not just about buying a piece of meat to eat that evening, it's about learning where that piece of meat came from and why that's a better choice for you and your family than any random package of meat at the grocery store. You can't purchase any of these items online just yet, but they're working on it to be able to provide people with the same farms they carry in this particular store.
The Meat House in Avon does a lot to stay involved with their community. Helping to raise money for all the local sports team, they enjoy giving back. For example, about a month ago, The Meat House of Avon teamed up with Rosedale Farm in Simsbury, CT and donated the meat – 2 whole pigs for a celebrity cook off to help raise money for kids with cancer. You can keep up with their events and specials going on at this Meat House on their Facebook Page – The Meat House Avon, CT, please "LIKE" them for updates! Their address again is 395 West Main Street, Avon, CT. Telephone Number – (860) 676-4444, Email – firstname.lastname@example.com. The Meat House is open daily from 9am – 7pm.
If you are a local business that makes products here in Connecticut and would like to join the website, please contact me, Carissa at 203-223-0127 or by email – firstname.lastname@example.com. If you are a local farm or store that would like me to blog about your business or what you do to help support local businesses, I would be happy to that as well.

When we went back and published the French Traveler patterns from an old issue of burda style magazine, I knew I had to make the Illusion Neckline Dress! I love illusion necklines, and the photography for this pattern really drew me in. I have been holding on to this Liberty printed cotton from Britex Fabrics for a while now. I got it in San Fransisco with Jamie when we went there to promote the new book…I literally bought it 20 min before I left for the airport!
I wanted a simple design to showcase the printed fabric (it's a neon graphic of the Tokyo skyline). So I thought the Illusion Dress was perfect, since it had only only style line. I omitted the waist elastic casing an inseam pockets to reduce bulk. Next time I wear this dress I will probably belt it to give it better shape. To pair with the printed fabric I got a green silk chiffon from Mood Fabrics. I originally went there to buy a black sheer fabric, but I just loved how the green complemented the print. I bought pre-made white bias tape to bind the armhole, back key-hole and neckline edges. I really love how it turned out.
With the dress I am wearing a pair of leggings that I made from our Carol Leggings pattern. These leggings fit wonderfully! I love how this pattern doesn't have a side seam so it is so smooth to wear on the legs. These leggings are made in an iridescent metallic spandex I found at Spandex World (favorite place). I found the pattern to be a bit tall so I had to take off about 2" from the top, but overall I really like this pattern and will definitely be making more leggings…so stay tuned!

Brief Description
"Anabolic steroids" is the familiar name for synthetic variants of the male sex hormone testosterone. The proper term for these compounds is anabolic-androgenic steroids (abbreviated AAS)—"anabolic" referring to muscle-building and "androgenic" referring to increased male sexual characteristics. Learn more
Street Names
Juice, gym candy, pumpers, stackers
Major effects of steroid abuse can include liver damage; jaundice; fluid retention; high blood pressure; increases in "bad" cholesterol. Also, males risk shrinking of the testicles, baldness, breast development, and infertility. Females risk growth of facial hair, menstrual changes, male-pattern baldness, and deepened voice. Teens risk permanently stunted height, accelerated puberty changes, and severe acne. All users, but particularly those who inject the drug, risk infectious diseases such as HIV/AIDS and hepatitis.

Integration and Information: Proving Real Social Media ROI
Businesses and social media can work together like chocolate and peanut butter. It may not always seem like a fit at first, but when it clicks, it's genius. However, the question of measuring ROI always arises. What can be measured in future sales against intangibles like the audience engagement and brand goodwill engendered through social media. But what if the answer lies in integration with social media tools?
American Express just made it work with Foursquare, and it might just illuminate the future of social media marketing. The deal is this: You go to a store, "check-in" on Foursquare, and get offered a surprise store special only redeemable by paying with AmEx and applied straight to your card. No fuss, no coupons, and a great incentive to "check-in" everywhere you go.
Amex and the vendors who sign on to the promotion gain measurable results in the dollar amounts spent by card users, who also tend to be a desirable demographic. Previous successful deals with large brands like Pepsi prove Foursquare may actually be worth their outsize $600 million valuation. If currently only 4% of adults are using location-based services, will such big name partnerships drive their adoption? (more…)

His Olympiacos experience wasn't too successful but he found his "Ithaki" in Russia, together with Dusan Ivkovic (he was his coach in Panionios too). Extremely intelligent, copies movements and assists from great NBA stars. He can pass the ball from anywhere to anybody but he also loves to steal the ball in the middle of the court to finish with a great dunk. He is a cerebral player, his friends used to say, as he doesn't want to be very anxious. If you pressure him you may not have the results you want, but if you let him free to do on his own inside the court, you will have great results. "Mitos" as his nickname is because of his… big nose ("myti" in Greek) is a player who stubs his opponents…

Note: This handbook supports the Gods & Kings version of Civilization V. If you do not own this expansion, the information below will not be entirely accurate to your version of the game.
See Nebular's unofficial Online Civilopedia for additional on-the-go information!
President George Washington
(1732 - 1799)
America is the Civ to pick for a big yet flexible empire. Their bonuses are very straightforward so if it's your first time playing, this might be a good Civ for you. Manifest Destiny's Sight bonus allows you to scout locations for early-game expansion much faster. It will also help keep you from accidentally bumping into a barbarian encampment, or a rival's army. The discount to buying tiles can be great if you give more elbow room between your cities.
The Minuteman has a great ability that will help you beat Civs like the Incas and Iroquois that habitually settle near rough terrain. They shine the most on defense, but don't discount their offensive potential. Paired with America's Sight bonus, they're like scouts on steroids. And don't forget about America's unique Bomber. Their bonus against Cities makes late-game conquest a snap. Honoring the B17's nickname, the "flying fortress," their defense bonus VS Interception means you don't really need Fighters to sweep for interceptors.
America's ticket to victory is left mostly blank. The B17 suggests, after several eras of fast expansion and skirmishing, late-game domination is a good way to go. All those cities will probably net you a lot of gold and science, too, so diplomacy or space race isn't a bad option either. Really, it's up to you.
Suggested Policies: Liberty, Rationalism, Order
Suggested Wonders: Forbidden Palace, Machu Picchu, Pentagon
Suggested Beliefs: Tithe, Feed the World, Just War
- Manifest Destiny
Land Military Units gain +1 Sight

Abbashid Caliph Harun Al-Rashid
(763 - 809)
Arabia has a great economy and good boosts to wide growth. Their gold bonus from Trade Routes can get you a modest chunk of change if you can expand to over twenty cities. Bonus copies of luxuries acquired from the Bazaar can get you a huge amount of money from trading with Happiness-hungry rivals. Also, the bonus to Oasis tiles makes settling in less-favorable Desert areas much more viable, so you may not have to fight for territory as much as you may think. These features combined means Arabia has the potential for a very impressive economy.
It's not a bad idea to use that extra gold to buy favor with City-States, since they can supplement what you need and eventually lead to a Diplomatic victory. Just be sure to pick which ones you befriend wisely, so you get the best bang for your buck: will they give you extra Culture you need? Do they have a Luxury Resource you want? Is their location strategically advantageous?
The Camel Archer has completely re-purposed the Knight into a mobile Crossbowman. It's a very strong unit, and perfect for harrying enemy armies: move 'em in, fire, then run away. The Camel Archer's Melee Strength is nearly half of the Knights, so they cannot be left vulnerable, but their superior speed shouldn't make this too hard to accomplish.
Suggested Policies: Liberty, Commerce, Order

Kaiserin Maria Theresa Walburga Amalia Christina
(1717 - 1780)
Requires the Gods & Kings Expansion Pack
If you're in the habit of spending all your Gold soon as it comes in, don't! If the City-State calls for investors, you could ally and marry them for around 1,000 gold easy, especially after taking the Patronage Policy. Trade away extra luxuries as often as you can for gold, and it should be easy to keep your coffers full. When you Marry a City-State, it does not count as an aggressive act: no buildings or citizens are lost, all their units are handed over to you, and the City-State wasn't technically 'conquered' so it won't require a Courthouse if you decide to Annex it. Consider Marrying a City-State just for their troops, effectively buying a standing army at a bargain, but don't buy everyone: the population of the City is untouched so Marrying a City-State can really hurt your Happiness.
The Coffee House's boost to building production is great, since Austria is all about sweet, sweet marriage. You could go an entire game without personally building any more than a Scout, so it's not a detriment at all that the building's Production boost only helps infrastructure. The extra Great Person generation is great for keeping a constant flow of Great Merchants.
If your neighbors are getting rowdy mid-game, or if they've just been particularly annoying through the middle ages, your Hussar can put things to rights. The extra Move makes flanking really very easy, and once they have a +45% boost, on top of probably a Great General and some promotions, it's all over.
Suggested Policies: Tradition, Commerce, Order
Suggested Wonders: Big Ben, Forbidden Palace, Machu Picchu
Suggested Beliefs: Papal Primacy, Swords to Plowshares, Holy Order
- Diplomatic Marriage
Pay 500 gold* to Puppet or Annex a City-State that is Allied with you†- Coffee House (Renaissance Era Building, replaces Windmill)
Cost 250
Does not require Open Terrain
Maintenance 2
Specialist 1 Engineer
Production +2
+5% Production, not +10% Production only when constructing Buildings
+25% Great Person generation- Hussar (Industrial Era Mounted Unit, replaces Cavalry)

Move 5, not 4
+15% combat bonus for each Flanking Unit, not +10% (Enhanced Flanking)
+1 Sight (Extra Sight)
Can move after attacking
No defensive bonuses
-33% combat penalty VS Cities
* The price changes depending on your speed setting for the game, and how many units the City-State controls.
† You must have been Allied with the City-State for at least 5 turns. Because the City-State was not 'Conquered,' no buildings or citizens are lost and, if Annexed, the City will not generate additional Unhappiness. You gain control of all of the City-State's units. If you Marry a Mercantile City-State, you gain ownership and therefore may trade their unique Luxury even though it has no corresponding Tile. Married City-States cannot be 'Liberated' and the amount of Votes needed to win diplomatically will be recalculated as if the City-State was never in the game.
Tlatoani Moctezuma I
(1398 - 1469)
Aztecs are about upfront benefits: both the Jaguar and the Floating Gardens are unlocked in the Ancient era. This Civ doesn't want to take their time, so keep moving and be efficient, always. Jaguars are odd units, but very fierce. When going for the kill, remember they'll get healed a bit immediately after, so strikes that may be risky with other units are less so with the Jaguar. They're very handy to build and level early on, because they retain their unique traits once promoted.
Your cities will build up very fast with Floating Gardens; be sure you can deal with the amount of Unhappiness that will generate. Gaining bonus food from Lake tiles is great, but Lakes are kind of rare. You have to take what you're given. Don't get so determined to have a lake that you fail to expand.
Remember, if you're not killing someone, you're not taking advantage of Sacrificial Captives. With Honor, killing a Barbarian gives double the unit's Strength in Culture, so that's 16 for a Brute and 42 for a Longswordsman, so Aztec has a lot to gain from creeping. Especially after you get the Honor tree finisher, you get gold on top of Culture for making a kill. If Barbarians dry up, make war with a neighbor. Try to nab an early Domination victory but if this proves too difficult, dig in, sweat your neighbors and push Culture.
Suggested Policies: Honor, Piety, Freedom
Suggested Wonders: Alhambra, Statue of Zeus, Brandenburg Gate
Suggested Beliefs: World Church, Holy Warriors, Just War
- Sacrificial Captives
Destroying enemy units provides a one-time Culture bonus equal to the Strength of the destroyed unit*- Jaguar (Ancient Era Melee Unit, replaces Warrior)
Cost 40
Strength 8
Move 2
Ignore Terrain costs from Forest and Jungle Tiles (Woodsman)
+33% combat bonus in Forest and Jungle Tiles
Heals 25 damage when it destroys an enemy Unit- Floating Gardens (Ancient Era Building, replaces Water Mill)
Cost 75
Requires River or Lake
Maintenance 1, not 2
+2 Food
+1 Production
+15% Food
Lake Tiles yield a bonus +2 Food
* This Culture reward stacks with the Honor Policy opener.
Sarru-Kinu Nebuchadnezzar II
Requires the Civilization Pack: Babylon
Obviously, Babylon leans towards the Sciences, which is funny because both their Bowmen and their Walls of Babylon come in the Ancient Era. The Walls of Babylon are obviously to give your cities some added security, since most of your focus won't be towards units. The Bowman is also a defensive unit. They field just as strong as Warriors, but hit even harder from a distance. Once you have them, there's no reason to make a Warrior, unless you want to take out a city.
Neither of these Uniques are show-stoppers, so don't sweat it. It's all about Great Scientists, but you can't set Scientist Specialists until Education, so tech fast to Universities. You'll also want to nab any Ancient and Classical Wonder that has Scientist points, and that will probably net you a handful of Great Scientists before the Medieval Era's out. It might be tempting but don't rush techs with these guys. Making Academies early on will net you far more science in the long run.
Science benefits greatly from population, so Babylon will want to expand—but where to? Mountains will get you Observatories and Jungles are boosted by Universities. Trading Posts will net you even more Beakers with Rationalism's Free Thought, so favor Grasslands over Plains. You can spend your gold on Maritime City States to further inflate your population; Patronage's Scholasticism will make City-States even more beneficial. Once you finish the Apollo Program, you've got to build the rocket. Great Engineers can't rush spaceship parts, but they can rush a Spaceship Factory, so keep at least one on hand.
Suggested Policies: Liberty, Rationalism, Freedom
Suggested Wonders: Porcelain Tower, Statue of Liberty, Tower of Pisa
Suggested Beliefs: Interfaith Dialogue, Guruship, Reliquary
- Ingenuity
Birth rate of Great Scientists increased by 50%
A free Great Scientist appears at your Capital after you research Writing*- Bowman (Ancient Era Archery Unit, replaces Archer)
Cost 40
Strength 7/9, not 5/7
Range 2
Move 2
Cannot Melee attack- Walls of Babylon (Ancient Era Building, replaces Walls)
Cost 65, not 75
Maintenance 0
+6 City Strength, not +5
+100 City HP, not +50
* Unlike other 'free' Great People, Babylon's free Great Scientist does not increase the cost to produce your next Great Scientist.

Tuesday, May 25, 2010
In which Mike and I try to have a rational conversation about the Yankees' recent struggles
Mike: You know what's not great, the Yankees' play lately.
Larry: I'm trying to remind myself that as frustrating as they've been, (a) It's still only May; (b) They're missing 1/3 of their starting lineup; and (c) the pitchers, while due for a regression, have all been atrocious and aren't this bad.
MJR: Yeah, but Alex Rodriguez has a SLG below .500. Derek Jeter is terrible. And Mark Teixeira is still hitting .200.
LK: Those are also problems.
MJR: And Brett Gardner is regressing, too.
LK: I think the bigger concern is Tex right now.
MJR: I've been saying this.
LK: Rod's been putting some good swings/at-bats together. Tex just looks lost out there.
MJR: I believe that with A-Rod the numbers will be there by the end of the month. I believe Tex may have serious problems with his approach right now.
LK: As fun as the .400 wOBA verson of Gardner was, we were deluding ourselves to think that he was actually that level of player.
MJR: You're absolutely right
LK: As I said yesterday, Carl Crawford definitely has his house wired for sound to play the cash register noise with each BG out.
MJR: Well, maybe I'm eating my words come year end.
LK: I mean it's valid to have concerns. The team is in fairly rough shape right now.
MJR: They're playing bad baseball.
LK: But all it takes is rattling off a few wins to get everyone feeling good again.
MJR: However, they did this last year too, but it came in June.
LK: Yeah man.
MJR: Remember when we lost two out of three to the Nats?
LK: Of course.
MJR: A-Rod was benched. And so on.
LK: The low point of the season was the following series against the Braves, when the Yanks fell to only six games over .500. After that they were never that low again.
MJR: Exactly
LK: I know we as Yankee fans expect the world and freak out when they start sucking.
MJR: I try not to.
LK: But I think we need to give until at least July before we start pressing the panic button.
MJR: When a team will be as good as often as the Yanks its important to accept the bad.
LK: Well, yes.
MJR: Tex does worry me, though. He started surging in early May, and then he stopped hitting altogether. How long until he gets moved down in the order?
LK: I agree, that's a big problem right now. Last night on Twitter Rebecca from This Purist Bleeds Pinstripes asked Jack Curry whether Girardi might consider dropping Tex. Curry said he didn't think so, and that Girardi would prefer that he hit his way out of it.
MJR: Which is Girardi's style
LK: Problem with that is, he's basically an automatic out every time until he does start hitting.
MJR: Yeah. He's not drawing walks or anything.
LK: Between Tex's slump, the bottom of the order doing its best NL impression, and even the guys who you expect to get hits all sucking at the same time, it's actually kind of amazing they've even scored any runs.
MJR: I've been saying this for a while.
LK: Although it also helps explain why they've been doing such little damage in innings 1-7
and then staging these mini-rallies in the 8th and 9th.
MJR: Yeah, they've been playing games backward.
LK: Well they've been facing superior pitching.
MJR: That's true
LK: The Yanks' MO has always been to wear the starter down and get to the bullpen, only now when they get to the bullpen, their own starter has been putting 'em in a four- or five-run hole, and they don't have the depth to climb out.
MJR: It was naive to think that all the pitchers would have sub-2 ERAs
LK: I mean, yeah. No one thought that. It was nice for a few weeks there
MJR: But no one analyzed how the team was winning so much either. As you said, they bust out a few wins in a row and all this is ancient history.
LK: They were getting a series of historically great starts. At least, historical in the sense that none of those pitchers had ever performed that well before; not historical in the context of all of baseball.
5 comments:
I feel that the Yankees 2010 successes and struggles are related to starting pitching and their schedule: their April was pretty brutal. I don't feel like the Yankees have gone on a west coast trip in April in... well... ever. Then in May, it looks like they only had 2 scheduled days off and were lucky to get a 3rd during the rain out in Detroit, but then they had to play a double header the next day, so not much help there. The Mets are really the only bad team the Yankees have lost to this year, and for some reason, the Mets have the best home record of any team in the National League (16-9) and are third in home wins so far this year in MLB behind the Rangers and As (tied at 18)
So have things been bad since the Yankees won the series in Boston? Yeah, besides beating the Twins at home, I would say they've been very bad. But, despite what ESPN said on Sunday night baseball, it sounds like Aceves could be back as early as this weekend, as could Granderson, and that's a lot of help.
I don't worry too much about the guys who are struggling; they're all good players, and good players will eventually get their act together - unless you think they're finished, and I dont think Jeter or Teix are finished. The injuries (which I think are, in some small part, a product of the schedule) make impossible to give a guy like Teix a breather... There's a snow ball effect that I think explains the Yankees bad play over the last 2 wks or so. But with an off day and the Yankees continued good play against the Twins, maybe things will turn around. and check out their June schedule:
Tor/3 (i still don't believe these guys are for real)
Mets/3 (at yankee stadium!)
LA Dodgers/3
i think there is an opportunity for the yankees to fatten up there... come all star break, if they're still struggling, I will panic, no question. Like Homer in those Simpsons flashbacks when Marge tells him she's pregnant and he tears the hair out of his head.The schedule is about to break in the Yankees favor and we're about to get some players back. Hopefully that can rejuvenate the team a bit.
It's also important to note that the Yankees lost three straight games in which they scored 6 runs. If you put up 6 runs against the Rays you need to win that game. The pitching has been the largest culprit over these past few weeks.Its hard to believe that 'Mets' and 'best' can be in the same sentence, but there you go! For whatever reason, they're good at home - like the Red Sox (56-25) and Yankees (57-24) last year. Tornoto's home/road spilts are 11-11/16-9 - and the Yankees are playing them in Toronto next month.

I decided to wear something bright to work for a rainy day a few weeks ago. Definitely picks up my mood on those dreary days even though I love storms. The only other bright bottom I really had was either a red skirt or pant, so I just thought a bright yellow would work best since it is summer and all. Some printed flats picked up the fun factor and I am on the hunt for some more fun flats to add to my wardrobe. For the final personal touches, I added my Lia Sophia necklace I received as a gift from my bestie, Sarah, as well as a bangle from her trip to Chile a few years ago. Definitely a fun and meaningful outfit to me!
Flats: Colin Stuart via Victoria's Secret
Bottom: Forever 21 dress styled as skirt
Top: Old
Belt: New York & Company (old)
Necklace: Lia Sophia (gift)
Watch: Timex (purchased at Target)
Bangle: Gift from my friend Sarah

Syrian warplanes fired missiles at opposition strongholds around Damascus and in the north on Wednesday as Turkey, a key backer of the anti-regime rebels, appeared to distance itself from an earlier call to impose a no-fly zone.
