Written by: Arnold Furious
Welcome to 2000 and the increasingly unstable world of ECW. Long term planning was gone by this point with Raven and Lance Storm joining the list of ECW employees headed elsewhere. This left Justin Credible as the world champion. His number one challenger was the man who was more and more responsible for what we saw on TV – Tommy Dreamer. On the somewhat patchy undercard RVD faced off against his "best friend" Scotty Anton. Jerry Lynn would face Steve Corino in an effort to push both men to main event status and everyone else got thrown into meaningless matches. ECW was slowly falling apart. Would ECW's 7th year be it's final? Stay tuned.
Jasmine St Claire shows off her ass on the beach. The Blue Boy shows up. It's the former Blue Meanie. He insults a muscular guy for being fat. Amazing transformation for him. Sinister Minister laughs at the whole thing. We're in L.A. – the Devil's playground. He hypes the card. He's buried Mikey Whipwreck up to his neck on the beach. They both find it hilarious.
Sign in crowd – "Cyrus is a meat smuggler" + "Cyrus – registered sex offender"
Joey Styles and Joel Gertner welcome us to Los Angeles, California. Cyrus comes out and we have the continuation of this "feud". He gets a contrasting couple of chants, which shows how much heat he has. One side chant "faggot" while the other side chant "asshole". He points out that Super Crazy has been deported. Shit. That's another one gone. ECW has been cancelled on TNN. Gertner and Cyrus jaw back and forth for what seems like forever. Gertner feigns walking out and jumps Cyrus from behind. Cyrus has him arrested. Did they really have to put this over on EVERY PPV?
Balls Mahoney v Big Sal E. Graziano w/Tony Mamaluke
Sal asks for a chair shot but Balls hesitates so Sal pearl harbour's him. Sal is very much the Big Show of ECW. Balls gets to deliver his patented chair shot which Sal ignores. Chokeslam, elbow drop, bearhug slam and Sal goes over clean in 1.39. DUD. Total squash.
Backstage RVD is upset about Scotty Anton. He's pissed off for the first time ever. He's so pissed off he's created a new finishing move – the Van Terminator.
Danny Doring/Roadkill/Kid Kash v Simon Diamond/Swinger/CW Anderson
Simon has thrown off his comedy act and gained Swinger as a tag partner, dropped the comedy entourage altogether and now is teaming up with a serious wrestler in CW. In order to do so CW has quit the Dangerous Alliance. Roadkill is crazy over all of a sudden. Diamond and Kash start with some standing reversals. Arm drags. Hip tosses. Everyone spills in. Avalanche on the heels from Roadkill and he cleans the heels out of the ring. Pescado into a rana from Kash. Cool. Springboard clothesline – all the way across the ring from Kash. Leapfrog and a rana from Kash. Ferris wheel from CW and Kash is taken down. Swinger tags in and hits a back suplex. Moonsault press from Kash on CW which he just about connects with. Doring superkicks Swinger, hits the g-spot sweep on CW and the bareback on Diamond. The heels are coming off as real weak in this one. Swing thing on Doring gets 2. Double downward spiral from Diamond/Swinger. Rolling snap suplexes into a gourd buster from Diamond gets 2. Doring takes the Anderson left for 2. Rocker dropper on CW and Doring gets the hot tag. Roadkill comes in and cleans house. Dirt road slam on Diamond and an F-5 on CW. Heels bail and Doring hits a somersault plancha. Kash hits a massive springboard senton. Plancha from Roadkill and the crowd is going NUTS. Swinger gets rolled back in and takes an Ohio Jam from Doring. 3-D-B on Doring from Swinger/Simon. They go up and superplex Roadkill for 2. Anderson spinebuster from a leapfrog attempt on Kash. Roadkill drops the Pennsylvania Jam to break the fall. Kash gets Doring out of the Problem Solver and Doring hits a Wham, Bam, Thank ya Mam on Diamond. Kash hits the Money Maker (double underhook piledriver – like a pedigree only straight into the air) on Swinger and pins him for the win at 11.03. ***. Good action throughout and mostly well paced. Crowd is HOT.
Backstage Rhino tells Sandman he enjoyed putting his wife in the hospital. Intense promo from Rhino. He was gold on the mic in ECW.
Steve Corino w/Jack Victory v Jerry Lynn
Leaping bulldog from Lynn and he clotheslines Corino to the floor. Plancha from Lynn wipes out Corino and Victory. Nice shoulder charge/head fake/guillotine legdrop spot that Lynn has brought with him from the RVD feud. Corino takes out his razorblade while Lynn hits a tornado DDT off the guardrail. Corino (shock) is bleeding. Lynn goes for the 10 count punches and Corino hits a sit down powerbomb out of the corner. Corino is bleeding really badly. Bionic elbow gets 2 for Corino. Lynn corner roll up gets 2. Great powerslam from Corino gets 2. Corino jaws with the fans. T-bone suplex from Corino. Van Daminator from Lynn after Corino went for a chair shot. Corino gets crotched and Lynn DDT's him off the top rope into the chair. Cool spot. Lynn uses Corino's blood to put war paint on his face and he finger-paints DIE on his stomach. Superkick from a rather pissed off Corino gets 2. Corino goes up again and they botch an inverted DDT from the top. Old School Expulsion (inverted DDT changed into a neckbreaker in mid flow) gets 2 for Corino. Jack Victory tries to throw powder at Lynn who knocks it into the referee's face by mistake. Back suplex for Lynn but the referee is down. Corino takes his boot off and nails Lynn with it. Lynn gets whacked with a cowbell and he still kicks out. Corino escapes a cradle piledriver and they run a near falls sequence. Cradle piledriver and Jerry Lynn wins at 15.25. ***. Good stuff, a few blown spots but nevertheless entertaining.
Backstage Sandman is a little upset that Lori ended up in hospital for 7 weeks after Hardcore Heaven. Rhino comes in and canes him from behind. Rhino shoves Lori's head down the toilet. Rhino was just ruthless in ECW. Dawn Marie is brought in to the announce booth to do comedy commentary.
New Jack comes out despite the fact that he has a broken leg. Before he can get into the ring the Baldies jump him. Nova and Chetti make the save.
Chris Chetti/Nova v The Baldies (DeVito/Angel)
Springboard plancha from Chetti and Nova hits a tope. Baldies come back in and hit a flapjack on Nova. Horrible selling from Angel. Nova misses a Swanton. Bronx bomb on Chetti (sit down Rock Bottom). DeVito misses the follow up moonsault and Nova hits rolling piledrivers! It's called the Third Degree (2 rolling piledrivers into a spinning sit down powerbomb). Nova is the bomb. Amityville horror on Angel and the Tidal wave finishes the Baldies at 4.39. *1/2. Short and the Baldies suck.
Backstage Tommy Dreamer talks about how he's lost all his friends, pissed his family off and lost women over a business that takes and takes and takes but he regrets nothing. He broke his back for the business. Dreamer busts himself open on a locker while ranting about how he's sick of TNN and how everyone has ripped ECW off. He's pissed off about Justin Credible stealing his big payoff by taking his title the night he won it. Tommy looks literally insane during this promo.
4 way dance – Tajiri v Little Guido v Psicosis v Mikey Whipwreck
This is meant to be a 3 way but Mikey adds himself in. Psicosis is back after being out for 5 years in WCW. Mikey plants Psicosis only to get the kick of death in the back of the head from Tajiri. Guido miscues a dropkick and hits Tajiri. Rana from Mikey on Guido. Whippersnapper on Tajiri. They all bail and Mikey hits a cannonball. Mamaluke does a run in and Mikey attacks Big Sal. He slams Mikey into the ring post. Psicosis hits a Tijuana Jam and Guido pins Mikey at 1.36 and now it's back to a 3-way dance. Why not just have that match in the first place? Tajiri stiffs Guido with some kicks. Rana from Tajiri on Psicosis and a tilt-a-whirl headscissors. Psicosis and Guido fight on the floor so Tajiri hits an Asai moonsault. Superplex on Guido from Tajiri. Psicosis hits a corkscrew moonsault on Guido for 2. Maritado on Psicosis and Tajiri hits a German suplex to boot him at 4.28. It's down to Tajiri and Guido. Tajiri slaps on a weird stretch and Guido escapes into a sunset flip for 2. Tarantula. Handspring back elbow. Tree of woe on Guido and a chair in place – baseball slide. Sicilian slice and Tajiri bails to avoid a pin. Tip up slam onto the chair gets Guido 2. Tajiri kicks out of the maritado and hits the mist. Brainbuster on a chair and Tajiri wins at 9.17. ***. Another good match. Nothing amazing but all good stuff.
Justin Credible talks about bringing barbwire to PPV while Francine looks on.
ECW TV title – Rhino (c) v Sandman
Rhino no sells the cane while Sandman destroys it over his head. They fight outside and Sandman brings in a length of guardrail. He has no idea what he's going with it. Heineken-rana onto the guardrail from Sandman. Bulldog onto the guardrail from Sandman gets 2. Rhino suplexes Sandman onto the guardrail. Jesus, these guardrail spots look like crap but they're all potential career-ending moves. Sandman puts the guardrail on Rhino and hits a swanton for 2. That's the best top rope move the Sandman has ever done. Corino/Victory do a run in and deck the referee. Spike Dudley (complete with busted leg) comes in and canes Victory. Sandman and Spike hit a 3-D on Corino. Rhino bashes Spike down. Sandman dodges a gore and Spike takes it. Rhino piledrives Spike off the apron and through a table to the floor. There's your high spot right there. Sandman canes Rhino with the new cane but Rhino escapes the white Russian legsweep and piledrives Sandman on the guardrail to retain at 8.39. **1/2. Slow to start with but the multiple run in's and the one big bump made it fun.
Rob Van Dam v Scotty Anton
Scotty's fantastic clap gimmick causes me to clap above my head while typing this out. During this match RVD stops and points to himself a lot. This will be from now on simply written as "stalling". Spinning heel kick and an early rolling thunder gets 2 for RVD. Stalling. Outside and RVD comes off the guardrail with a moonsault press. Stalling. Corkscrew guillotine legdrop from the apron to the guardrail w/chair. Stalling. Gorilla press drop with back flip from RVD. Screw the Ultimate Warrior, there is no other wrestler who can do shit like that. Stalling. 2nd rope moonsault gets 2. Top rope Van Daminator is countered as Scotty blasts Fonzie and RVD with chair shots. Chair shot from Scotty and he goes to the "clap". Anton hits a bulldog from the apron into the front row hanging RVD up on the guardrail and RVD bit his tongue on that move. That, incidentally, was the peak of Scotty Anton's entire career. Super back suplex (which occurred about 3 minutes after the last move) from Scotty. This is dragging. Scotty jumps a legsweep and hits a DDT for 2. Tree of woe again on RVD and Anton works the bad leg to set up for his finish, which is a sharpshooter. Boston crab from Anton. Step through heel kick from RVD. Stalling. RVD goes chair surfing. Stalling. Split legged moonsault gets 2. Stalling. Tumbling senton w/chair. Stalling. Chair shot to the leg from Anton. Clapper (Sharpshooter) from Anton. Fonzie distracts him. Clapper on Fonzie. Crappy Van Daminator. Stalling. 5 star frog splash. Stalling. Crowd chant for "Term-in-a-tor". Van Terminator and it's over at 19.02. "Holy shit" – Joey Styles. *1/2. The single worst match of RVD's career. Way too much stalling. Not just from him but from Anton as well. Every spot was followed up by stalling. It just killed the flow. I love RVD matches but this one is everything that he's criticised for. Spot, point, spot, point, spot, point. Avoid.
ECW title/Stairway to Hell – Justin Credible (c) w/Francine v Tommy Dreamer w/Jazz/George
George is the former girlfriend of Randy Savage. Barbed wire hangs over the ring. Francine gets into a scuffle at ringside and the locker room spills out. I believe that's XPW getting thrown out of the arena. They do a few standing reversals. Isn't this meant to be a match of extreme violence? Superkick from Credible. Powerslam from Dreamer and a Cactus clothesline. They have a bit of a pointless fight in the crowd. Credible is busted. Dreamer climbs a ladder to brawl with Credible on a balcony and Credible pushes the ladder over sending Dreamer crashing into the merchandise tables. They get back into the ring and Dreamer grabs the ladder but he gets reversed into it face first. They do the slingshot under the ropes only using the ladder. Francine knocks Dreamer off the ladder and he lands on her. George comes in along with Jazz. George turns heel and hugs Francine. Jazz takes both of the other girls out. That's Incredible on Jazz. Tommyhawk gets 2 (a version of the Cutter). Dreamer climbs the ladder and brings down the barbed wire. Credible gets crotched on barbwire. Arrrrrgggh. I hope that never happens to me. That's Incredible on barbwire but Dreamer kicks out. DDT on wire gets 2 for Dreamer. That's Incredible on barbwire and Credible retains at 14.58. **1/2. I didn't like the finish. If Credible was going over why didn't Dreamer get a couple more finishing moves in? If this was supposed to be brutal how come the barbwire was only involved in the last few minutes? Oh well, it's over now. No point going on about it. I personally would have put Dreamer over here.
Best matches –
3. Tajiri v Guido v Psicosis v Whipwreck. This symbolises this PPV for me. It was something new and different (with Psicosis coming in) and yet it didn't click very well and left me feeling that they could have done more with it.
2. Doring/Roadkill/Kash v Diamond/Swinger/Anderson. Great 6 man tag. Could have been even better unfortunately but it was probably the hottest match on the card.
1. Steve Corino v Jerry Lynn. What looked to be a midcard match to determine who was ready to move up to the main events ended up being a show stealer. But not because it was particularly good. It was just better than anything else on this show.
Overall PPV rating – C+
This is a thumbs in the middle effort. It's not terrible by any stretch of the imagination but no one match stands out particularly. It's made memorable by the odd spot but not by any of the matches. There is a lot that needs to be fast-forwarded. I can't say I'm a big fan of this show.

It's our sad final day in Ko Samet. Spent the morning playing at the beach, building mountains, swinging and swimming. It's a beautiful warm morning.
The rest of our travel day has gone well. Our slow ferry off the island was on time and an interesting assemblage of new-age followers said a nice long meditative prayer as we took off, while the German guy beside me downed 3 beers in as much time, and the French dad across the way chain smoked a pack during the 1 hour trip.
In the town of Ban Phe we popped into a food stall for some cheapo Pad Thai lunch before buying our bus tickets and getting some last minute souvenirs at the market. Avi got a surfboard keychain and Zoe chose a fake pearl necklace.
The bus ride was fine. Avi slept most of the way – we gave him some Thai motion sickness meds this trip. Zoe read and then she and I napped. We passed cocoa, pineapple and sugar cane farms on the way. The bus goes all the way into Bangkok, but we needed the airport which is fairly out of town, so the bus driver stopped on the side a busy street and let us off. It was near enough to the airport that a taxi was about 3 bucks.
Got to the airport very early and passed an hour finding and eating at the food court in the basement – with basement prices! We checked in and spent a while waiting at immigration before getting into the terminal where we have found a kid playland to pass the next two hours before our flight boards.

Name: .hack//G.U. Last Recode
Developer: Cyberconnect2
Publisher: Bandai Namco Games
Release date: 03.11.2017
Platforms: PC and PlayStation 4
Reviewed on: PlayStation 4
Acquired: A copy of this game was provided from publisher for review purpose
.hack//G.U. Last Recode is the remaster of .hack//G.U., a single-player action RPG from the PlayStation 2. Included in the pack are; .hack//G.U. Vol.1//Rebirth, .hack//G.U. Vol.2//Reminisce, .hack//G.U. Vol.3//Redemption, and a brand new Vol.4// Reconnection, that happens after the events of volume 3. As with the original game, .hack//G.U. Last Recode simulates an MMORPG.
I must admit I never played the original game, only heard about it, as well as the whole anime and manga series. I do like mangas, animes, and MMORPG's however, and with this basis I sat down with .hack//G.U.
The story focuses on Haseo, a PKK (player-killer-killer), who hunts a player called Tri-Edge, who defeated Haseo's friend Shino and left her in a coma in real life. Haseo later comes in contacts with others who wants to stop Tri-Edge. However, the reason for Shino and other players falling into coma IRL, is a far worse problem.
I don't mind the story at all, it just feel a bit weak and too hidden. I understand that some of dramatic sequences are less dramatic when translated, but I never quite understood why it was so important to catch the bad guys. I mean, I am used to MMORPGs not having the best stories, but I usually get why I am hunting down some guy, but here I never did.
Unfortunately, the graphics are only so-so. The textures for the environment are not good at all. The original game was on the PS2, and the environmental textures still has that look. The characters are luckily a lot better looking though. They still have a bit of an unnatural way of running, but it's not that big of a deal.
The cutscenes on the other hand, looks amazing! They're not necessarily true to life, but they have a style and feel that is continuous throughout the game. Talking about the cutscenes, I want to mention the subtitles, whether or not you play the game in Japanese or English, I seriously suggest you have the subtitles turned on, because it has loads of funny writing that is true to how people chat on MMORPGs.
I found the gameplay to be the game's best feature, with the computer screen for "real life", where you can check anything from news, to forums, to emails, as well as going back into "The World". Another very cool feature is the way you select what world to travel to from the main hub. This you do by combining three words, where the game makes a world from your choices. Über cool!
When you're in a world, either to do a quest or to just whack monsters and gaining XP or going loot-hunting, the game acts pretty much as any other normal RPG. Even though the game felt quite like a button-mashing game in the beginning, I am glad to say I needed to get more tactical as the main story progressed, and I got access to harder enemies.
I honestly don't have very much to say about the controls. It is pretty standard for an RPG, although it felt a bit weird to have X as the main attack button, and triangle as the menu button. The steering was a bit too sensitive for my liking, with Haseo often running around in circles when I didn't have the joystick exactly straight forward.
Replay Value
I haven't felt the need to replay the game, yet anyhow. That being said I played little else than the main quests, so I still have loads to do when it comes to sidequesting. I do doubt I will play it again though, as I don't feel like the story is that good, and it's not like it's changing each playthrough. Another reason why I'm not going to replay it is the fact that it is a really long game. Even with me pretty much rushing through the game I used about 100 hours. Yes, you can reply to emails different ways, but it never felt like that had any consequences, so personally I am not going to play this through more than this once.

Story 5
Graphics 6
Gameplay 8
Controls 5
Replay Value 4
Even though I didn't care much for the story, I did have fun playing the game. Yes, the graphics could have been better. Yes, the controls was pretty standard. But the gameplay was really good! It had that MMORPG feel to it, even though it is single player I caught myself thinking "I better log in to check if I have any new emails" and that the game was able to make me think that is quite impressive. That being said, I think you either have to have played the original game/watched the anime if you are gonna have a great time with this game, or maybe if you're really into that MMORPG feel. While the PS2 version must have been good, the remake doesn't quite make enough of an impression to stay in my game library for more than this one playthrough.
User Review( votes)
- Great gameplay
- Subtitles are on-point
- The graphics are not current-gen
- The story was a bit hard to follow

the empress hotel
When our client presented this project to us the infamous old Empress Hotel was derelict and in disuse. Our brief was to make her watertight again, while transforming her from a bar and bandroom to a bistro pub. It was important to preserve the rough and ready character of the old pub while welcoming the young families of North Fitzroy.
The roof was removed from the former bandroom to open up a huge courtyard and beer garden, with the existing giant tree at its centre. Original trusses were kept in place. The existing building was updated for building regulations, and new toilet blocks, office and coolroom provided. The kitchen was remodelled and the front bar and dining room refreshed. A flexible lounge zone was created next to the courtyard with steel doors and timber seating.

Students of research are seldom explicitly taught to pay attention to daily patterns (see Oberg, 2003) or their body's knowing as sources of insight for developing research methodologies (for examples of those who have attended to that knowing in research, see Davies, 2000b; Lipsett, 2002; Martusewicz, 2001; Somerville, 1999).
Similarly, in education,
"Often...it is not student teachers' inability to imagine otherwise that restricts the possibility of educational change but teacher education's inability to provide them 'otherwise' experiences that break with the traditional, the expected, the obvious, and the taken-for-granted" (Segall, 2002, p. 167).
Can the "'otherwise' experience" be taught in courses on research method(ologies), and to those learning to become teachers?

This Science Project Makes Students Want to Skip Recess
A mystery is captivating students at the Morse Middle School in Cambridge, Mass.: Are they slug eggs or not?
Karen Spaulding's 7th-grade science class has been observing a community garden, collecting data, and making identifications. The so-called slug eggs under investigation are just one of many "life forms" students have noted - with great enthusiasm.
Ms. Spaulding and her students are "playing scientists" in a program called "Biodiversity Counts," sponsored by the National Center for Science Literacy, Education, and Technology, an initiative of the American Museum of Natural History (AMNH) in New York. The museum is piloting the project in 25 schools in 15 states with the goal of introducing middle-school students to the diversity of life in their own backyards.
Back in October, Spaulding took her students to the community garden and told them to pay attention to what's alive. The weather had already turned cold and the students were dubious. But soon, says Spaulding, "even the most squeamish girls got in there to poke around in the dirt."
One student replied, "When you first asked us to that, I thought you were crazy, but then I couldn't believe what we found."
Slugs. Centipedes. Spiders.
As part of the ongoing field study, each student keeps a notebook and observes a particular plot of the garden. The curriculum, provided by AMNH, stresses the importance of quantitative data. One student suggested they keep track of the temperature. Another said "Let's keep track of the sun."
But the data just doesn't stay in notebooks to be OK'd by teacher Spaulding.
Students post their findings on the World Wide Web as part of the center's initiative. Through the Web, they'll also have access to museum scientists and other classes. So, for example, the students are planning to ask a "real" field scientist about the mystery eggs.
HE "Biodiversity Counts" Web site for participants also has a place for educators. Spaulding gets on line and talks with other teachers involved with the pilot project. Later this month, Spaulding will head to New York to visit with AMNH folks, give them feedback, and help hone the curriculum.
"I think it's very cool," she says about the classroom-museum relationship. She explains that previously, the science-museum experience involved just a field trip where students would run around, push all the buttons of the exhibits, and then forget about it. "What's nice is this is a long-term project where the museum is a resource that houses special people who have dedicated their lives to field work ... it does put [real science] in reach for kids and validates their work as true science," she says.
The projects also put teachers and students on a more-equal playing field. "I don't like it when they have this vision that I know all the answers," Spaulding says. "I can say 'I don't know what slug eggs look like.' So it's the big mystery for all of us."
She says the children learn that even within the city there's a lot of life, and it makes them proud of where they live.
"The excitement and enthusiasm to want to continue has been top-notch," Spaulding adds. "Kids give up their recess to do this, and that says a lot."

Band Members at East Carolina U. Kneel While Playing National Anthem
Everyone's getting in on the act.
Disrespecting our national anthem is the trendy new thing to do and even members of school bands are doing it now, while they play the song.
WNCT News reported:
Several ECU band members take a knee during national anthem
Thousands of people turned out for the ECU game Saturday, but it's not just what the players did on the field that has people talking.
The national anthem protest that has been critically famed across the country has made its way to ECU.
Nearly 20 band members knelt down during our national anthem while playing their instruments.
Band member Joshua Killian took part in the protest.
He said he only wants peace and hopes this makes a statement.
"There are other protests all around the country, including marching bands, and we thought that it'd be nice to show our solidarity with them and with the professional athletes who are risking their careers for this," said Killian.
But not all agree with Joshua.
Many fans were upset by the protest.
They retaliated, by booing them off the field and every other time they performed.

Inside joke: I've been trying to determine, based on the (un)biased opinion of numerous "Twilight" and "Moonlight" fans which of the two vulnerable blood-suckers is more appealing. So far, no decision has been made by me or any follower of the aforesaid movie or/and TV show. So I tried to compare, visually. As always, it turned out to be rather ambiguous; if you think there's a hidden story behind the surface, it's probably there. *giggle*

Rsync is a very very useful command with a whole bunch of options. However most of the time if you run rsync on the command line you only need to know a few.
#rsync -avz foo:src/bar /data/tmp
This would recursively transfer all files from the directory src/bar
on the machine foo into the /data/tmp/bar directory on the local machine.
The files are transferred in "archive" mode, which ensures that symbolic links,
devices, attributes, permissions, ownerships etc are preserved in the transfer.
Additionally, compression will be used to reduce the size of data portions of the transfer.
#rsync -avz foo:src/bar/ /data/tmp
A trailing slash on the source changes this behavior to transfer all files
from the directory src/bar on the machine foo into the /data/tmp/.
A trailing / on a source name means "copy the contents of this directory".
Without a trailing slash it means "copy the directory".
This difference becomes particularly important when using the –delete option.
Below are a few of the options that I find useful.
What to Copy:
-r recursive
How to Copy:
-n dry run
-g preserve group
Destination Options:
-a archive
-b backup
Syntax Examples:
rsync [OPTION]… SRC [SRC]… [USER@]HOST:DEST
rsync [OPTION]… [USER@]HOST:SRC DEST
rsync [OPTION]… SRC [SRC]… DEST
rsync [OPTION]… [USER@]HOST::SRC [DEST]
rsync [OPTION]… SRC [SRC]… [USER@]HOST::DEST

Below is the answer I wrote to someone saying they would decide whether to believe I work for God or not depending on which mass I preferred and attended. The person also said all the Church does not need cleaning up and that anyone outside of religion is not loved or saved by God.
He said he was testing me as I ask people to do, but his comments showed his idea of testing the spirit within a person is confused and very bigoted. This isn't testing the spirits or anywhere close to doing so.
He deleted his comment as he didn't like what I had to say and my answer went with it. Luckily, I had a copy of it, so for anyone of the same mindset as that person, this is my answer for you to think about.
For a start, to ask which mass one prefers to decide if a person is a worthy lover and server of God or not is horrendous. That is not how to test the spirits. That is just wanting to see if you're of the same mindset as that person. God is neither that bigoted, nor is He so shallow.
I adore the Latin mass, the old hymns and ways when mass was attended by only those who wanted to be there rather than those there for show. The reverence seen and felt in those times lifted hearts to God and made people want to be as Him; to be good, to try to become closer to Him. All things sadly missing from most churches today. However, God's love is not dependant on which mass one attends or on even attending mass.
As for the Church being cleaned up, all of it does need to be. Some of it in huge amounts other parts only a little. The reason for the small parts needing to be cleansed is because even those that are still pure and beautiful will be affected due to the rest being contaminated.
People are unable to always see this as they haven't been given the grace to, but it is all being affected. It needs to be brought back to how it was. To do that, the whole of it needs to be swept through and cleansed and this is exactly what the pope has started to do.
One cannot clean a whole house if they clean only the really dusty and dirty parts. the whole house has to be done to make sure any particles that may have carried in the air are also cleansed. The same as a farmer cleansing his field of contaminated crops. Even the clean and healthy ones growing alongside the tainted ones have to be tended in order to stop the disease and rot spreading. So it is with God's Holy Church.
There are things others know nothing of, but that God knows and that I have been partly shown. As for those not of any faith, this is where those of religion have it very wrong. God created ALL beings whether we approve of them or not and whether they know God or not. He loves all equally, church goers, non church goers, people of faith and people of none.
God asks we try to be as he is, that is not conditional. Only man lays conditions on everything and everyone. God asks only for purity of heart, for unconditional love of all things and for us to strive to be better people and to nourish our souls. We can do that within a religion or out of one.
It is only by God's Grace that anyone can do these things, it is not down to just us. Without God within us we are nothing no matter how many times we go and sit in a church.
He doesn't like our deeds most of the time, but He still loves us. There are more hypocrites sitting in churches that there are outside of them. Ask any priest, just look at the deeds and lives of those sitting in them to see this is true.
People THINK they understand the gospels and bible where we are told only those coming to His Father through Jesus will be saved, but they misinterpret that and make it of their own limited understanding. They do not listen to what else He tells us, as they don't want to due to believing they are the chosen ones.
We are ALL His chosen ones, that is why He created us all. I'm not teaching more about that here, as far too long to say, but anyone thinking Jesus died to save only Catholics or baptised Christians – no matter how weak a Christian they are – needs to re-read ALL the bible, not just the parts they like and to pray and contemplate asking for guidance and understanding of what Jesus actually means.
It is very arrogant of Christians to believe only they will be saved, just as it is of any religion believing itself superior to all other living beings. In fact, those who think their faith and belief is saving them are those likely to need saving most. This bigoted way of thinking also shows just why the Church as a whole is in desperate need of cleaning up.
I asked 'Who loves God Most?' The most important question though is, who does God love most? That is a far easier one to answer. He doesn't love any one of us more than another, He loves us ALL equally. We'd do well to remember that.

Pathways for the Poet by Viola Berg (1977) is a book for and by educators. Classic poetic forms as well as many invented forms which appear to have been invented as teaching tools or exercizes for use in workshops or classrooms are included. Some of these invented forms I have found in use in internet poetry communities, a testament to their staying power. On this page I include the metric invented forms found there in which appear to be exclusive to the community of educators from whom Ms. Berg drew her support. I have yet to find these in any other source… Whether classroom exercise or sharpening your skill as a writer, some of these forms can be fun to play with.
• Zenith is a stanzaic form with meter and line length left to the discretion of the poet. It was introduced by Viola Berg.
The Zenith is:
○ stanzaic, written in any number of sixains.
○ meter at discretion of poet.
○ rhymed, abcabc defdef etc.

Meet The Fuel EX
The Fuel EX lives for true, all-day trail riding. With custom-tuned rear suspension and frame geometry dialed for all-day comfort, the Fuel EX balances high-speed descending abilities with excellent climbing qualities. There's a reason that this is Trek's most popular full suspension bike, it boasts the most advanced technology in the mountain bike world.
The Technology
Your enhanced braking control comes about courtesy of a concentric rear axle pivot placed directly in-line with the wheel's axle. The wheel skewer goes directly through the rear pivot bearing and any standard wheel can be used. Because the pivot remains on the same plane as the rear axle, the disc caliper remains aligned with the rotor. The braking stays aligned and your suspension stays active - just the way you want it.
Full Floater
The Full Floater is coupled with a Fox Racing rear shock for controlled suspension without wallow or bob. You'll be able to pedal efficiently while leaving the rear suspension at incredibly active settings that will enhance your control over rough terrain. You'll have incredibly supple travel, efficient climbing and use of the entire shock stroke. This crucial feature is found on the Fuel EX 7 and above.
EVO Link
Trek achieves these benefits by tapering the frame both internally and externally, placing more material at the lower race where it matters most. Custom forks with tapered steerer tubes are provided by RockShox and Fox. The result is that the front end of your bicycle is virtually immune to the effect of trail obstacles that seek to push and twist your fork away from the line you want to ride. The fork's firm attachment provides incredibly precise steering, excellent high-speed stability and less flex in off-camber situations. Terrifying, technical trails become manageable amusement parks where you test your speed!
Is The Fuel EX For Me?
What The Experts Say
|"If I could only have one bike on a singletrack-laden desert island, the Fuel EX is it. I've used this bike in cross-country races, and even short-track races, and then taken it for a long weekend in Moab to ride with friend on long-travel bikes. It gives me the feeling of way more than 120mm of travel, all without losing snappy pedaling efficiency. And the E2 front end is stiff in a way I am only used to feeling on double-crown forks."

21st December 2017
Euronav and Gener8 announced that they have reached an agreement on a stock-for-stock merger for the entire issued and outstanding share capital of Gener8, which would become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Euronav.
The combined company will have a fleet of 75 crude tankers, including 44 VLCCs and 28 Suezmax crude tankers, representing over 18 million dwt in total.
In addition, the new tanker operator would boast balance sheet assets worth over USD 4 billion and a liquidity position estimated at more than USD 750 million, including cash on hand and undrawn loans.
In line with the terms of the deal, approximately 60.9 million of new Euronav shares will be issued to Gener8 shareholders, with the exchange ratio of 0.7272 Euronav shares for each Gener8 share.
The exchange ratio implies a premium of 35 percent paid on Gener8 shares based on the closing share prices on December 20, 2017.
Upon closing, Euronav shareholders will own around 72 pct and Gener8 shareholders will own 28 pct of the issued share capital of the combined company.
"The merger between Euronav and Gener8 is expected to deliver real value for both sets of shareholders. The financial strength of the combined entity together with a strong leadership team will make it well placed to navigate the tanker cycle," Carl Steen, Chairman of Euronav said.
"I have been a vocal advocate for consolidation in the shipping industry and have always stated that we would be a willing buyer or seller depending upon what is best for our shareholders. This transaction creates the largest independent VLCC fleet in the world. The combined company has a very bright future that will benefit both Gener8 and Euronav shareholders," Peter Georgiopoulos, Chairman and CEO of Gener8 said.
The merger is subject to the approval of Gener8's shareholders and some of its lenders.
Euronav as the combined entity will remain listed on NYSE and Euronext under the symbol "EURN."
Carl Steen, Paddy Rodgers and Hugo De Stoop will remain respectively Chairman of the Board, CEO and CFO of the company following the merger.
Euronav added that a third-party tanker owner has agreed to purchase six VLCCs from the combined entity upon closing of the merger at a price of USD 434 million.
"The sale will allow Euronav to maintain sustainable and robust financial ratios and keep leverage and liquidity well within management's desired levels," the company added.

No Joker Here-This Isn't Gotham City, Our Heroes Don't Wear Capes
We will certainly mourn for those who have been lost, injured and hurt. We will rally around the families, the friends and the loved ones who have lost friends, brothers, sisters and children. We pray for them and wish them the best. While we hurt for these people and are saddened by their loss, many reports indicate that the horrific deaths and injuries could have been far worse had it not been for the true heroes of this story. Don't we owe it to the dead and the injured, our fellow Americans that were lost, to take the news out of the villain and recognize those who risk their lives every day to prevent and minimize casualties such as this?
Since the attack in Aurora, much of the media has been focused on one aspect of the story, the villain. Media outlets throughout the world, share a photo of the attacker with a troubling grin. It's time for that to change. Our challenge – let's put the focus on the heroes in America.
This isn't Gotham city; our heroes don't wear masks or capes. The true heroes of this story often go unnoticed. We rarely refer to them by name but more often as part of a brotherhood of police, fire fighters, EMT's, medics, nurses and doctors. Many reports indicate that police were on the scene of the crime within the first ninety seconds and medical personnel quickly followed.
Had it not been for the quick attention of these national heroes, how many more loved ones could have been lost? To these nameless heroes we will forever be grateful.
In the coming weeks, there will no doubt be stories of the heroes without uniform, who acted bravely in Colorado. One of these first heroes to emerge is Jarrell Brooks. According to ABC news, Jarrell's first thought, like many others, was to get out of the theater alive. That thought all changed when he saw a mother shot and wounded with two young children, asking for someone to help. Jarrell immediately put thoughts of his own personal safety aside, risking his life for these three strangers.
Jarrell assisted the mother, moving, guiding and pushing the children and mother toward the exit. That's when it happened; Jarrell himself was shot in the leg. "As I was pushing them, that's when I got hit on my thigh." The 19 year old did not immediately know he had been hit. "It felt like a sharp pain," Jarrell told ABC."But when I tried to move my left leg I went down. I looked at my hand and noticed there was bleeding and that's when it got pretty real, at that moment."
Jarrell later said, "I don't consider myself a hero, I just felt like there was someone who was in distress. I'm not the kind of person who would let them be in that kind of situation." Now that's what a hero is, unassuming and willing to help. That's why American's Believe.

15 Year Old Golfer Makes Highschool Team Without Eyesight
As an avid golfer, I have experienced all of the frustration that comes along with the game. One of the more frustrating experiences came two years ago as I played in a night lighted golf scramble. With only a glowing ball to guide the way, the challenge of hitting the ball in the dark only multiplied the difficulty of golf.
For that reason alone, the story I am about to share is all the more amazing.
Meet Jake Olson. At 15 years old, this kid is something special. Now entering his sophomore year of high school, he plays on his schools golf team with plans to one day play on the tour. Before you shrug this off and say it, "sounds like any other kid in love with the game"… you need the back story.
At the age of one, Jake was diagnosed with retinoblastoma or cancer of the eye. At that early age he lost his left eye, for the next eleven years he would undergo surgery after surgery on his right eye, each time beating the cancer. That all changed at the age of twelve, when cancer appeared to win and he lost his other eye.
Rather than be defeated, Jake drew from within a determination so great that he refused to be beaten. Instead he persevered, remaining committed to his faith and his love for the game of golf. How do you play golf when you can't see the target, let alone the hazards that lay in waiting?
Like most talented golfers, Jake relies on his caddie for advice.
Not unlike any other good father, Bruce Olson wants to see his son succeed. That's part of the reason why he spends most every summer night at the golf course with his son. Together they keep Jake's game tuned up, at the tournaments Bruce is there to assist with alignment, distance and obstacles. Trusting completely in his father, Jake plays the shot just as instructed. It would seem the two have a pretty good thing going. According to foxnewswest.com, Jake scored in 13 of 15 matches that he competed in last year. That is no small feat, vision impaired or not.

The treasure in the form of silver and gold coins was discovered by archaeologists in the city of Dijon (Department of Cote d'Or). This was reported by the newspaper Le Figaro.According to the publication, the treasure consists of 34 coins, of which 10 are gold. They were hidden in a small bronze box and stored under the floor of one of the houses. The oldest coin is dated 1432, the newest is 1494. The portraits of the rulers of Europe of that time are engraved on them – Pope Nicholas V, Galeazzo Maria Sforza – Duke of Milan, Louis XI, Pope Innocent VIII, etc.
"All coins are foreign, with the exception of two (with a portrait of Louis XI – approx. TASS), – leads the publication of the numismatist Pascal Lisbrur. – It is likely that their owner specifically sorted and hid them."
Experts suggest that the owner of the money most likely came from an aristocratic family. He hid foreign coins, since King Charles VIII banned their use in 1490, and bought the rest in the state for a pittance. The ruler also imposed a moratorium on the use of coins minted under Louis XI, which explains the appearance of two French coins with his portrait in a casket.
"This sum would probably be enough for a peasant to live for several years," historian Stefan Alex tries to assess the treasure. But for her owner it could be small. " As archaeologists note, most of the coins are extremely rare, since many rulers of the time adhered to the same policies as Charles VIII, and simply melted down all the old coins.
Currently, the exact archaeological site is kept secret because of fears of attracting "black diggers". As the researchers suggest, the owner of the treasure could have hidden a few more chests.

Casting Begins For Friday the 13th: The Obsession
Below are the people that have been cast for the series along with a description of their character. For more information on what the rest of the characters will be in the film as well as other details pertaining to the production, please visit the Production Announcement. More information will be reported when it is available!
Make sure to visit our Web Series page to keep up with all of the production information for this eagerly awaited web series.
In the original script, Amy was a guy named 'Sean Marcus' and even though the role is now a female, much of the story is still the same. Amy is a huge Friday the 13th fan since her youth, hangs with her guy friends has a total bitch of a Ex-Girlfriend, and just when she has given up on love she meets the girl of her dreams. However she also has one hell of a bad temper. She gets angry and very emotional, and her anger sometimes takes the form of Jason Voorhees in her mind.
Kerri Miner: played by Marie Lynn
Not changed at all really from the original concept. A young beautiful girl with a lot of spunk, and no desire for a deep relationship or dealing with bullshit. As the sister of Stephanie, she is almost completely opposite. She treats the men in her life like toys, and loves every minute of it. She is also the one who got her sister away from Kane and into this new town The character of Kerri is more or less the 'scream queen' lead of 'Obsession' and when the world turns into Friday the 13th around the films characters. Kerri takes on the survival girl role of the of the movie, running and fighting the film's killer in woods of Crystal Lake. This is the one Friday The 13th fans will love.
Kane: Played by Rydell Danzie
Kane is dangerous, but oddly charismatic and even charming at times. He is calm, but still very deadly, and can snap into violence at any moment. Stephine has left him and ran off to another town, he feels he owns her and simply goes to get her. It's just that simple to him. In is own twisted way, he doesn't even feel he is in the 'wrong'. His intent is very black and white. But his actions trigger a response from Amy's Jason persona, and when that happens.. all hell breaks lose.

Las Vegas Bankruptcy Attorneys Note Changes to the Bankruptcy Courts
The United States Bankruptcy Court District of Nevada made several changes for the new year. If you have a bankruptcy case in Las Vegas these changes will likely influence you.
One of the first changes you will notice if you visit the bankruptcy court is that there are now kiosks outside of each courtroom rather than the old court calendars. The new kiosks provide access to the court calendars through the use of a touch screen.
The kiosks allow you to search by Judge or debtor's name through simply following the prompts on the screen. The kiosks also provide maps to help guide you to your assigned courtroom. Las Vegas bankruptcy attorneys think these changes will help better streamline the bankruptcy process.
Another change is to the revised local rules that went into effect on January 1, 2013. You can view a redline version of the rule changes on the court's website. One revision of note is that a partnership must now submit evidence of the unanimous consent of all general partners or proof that the partnership agreement permits other than unanimous consent, when filing a voluntary petition.
Additionally, the Bankruptcy Court is now offering a free e-mail subscription service and RSS feed that you can sign up for at the court website.
Hopefully these changes will make the bankruptcy Las Vegas process more efficient for debtors and attorneys.
The law firm of Shumway Van & Hansen always offers free bankruptcy consultations and often times can schedule an appointment within 24 hours. If you are a creditor or debtor and need assistance with a bankruptcy matter please call now!

This new rhyming tale from award winning author Graeme Base has something for everyone - vampires, robots, computers, bravery, adventure and a fearless heroine. The story opens with the death of a robot whose battery has been drained in the dead of the night by the evil vampire laptop Voltoid. The robotic townsfolk are consumed with fear and panic as all have heard of the dreaded Curse of Voltoid! PC Web calls for a volunteer to confront Voltoid and erase all files from his hard drive. The only one courageous enough to take on the challenge is Gertie Gif, a lowly cleaning droid. Gertie sets off with determination and resolve up the Hill of Dread towards Voltoid's Gothic style castle. Along the way she manages to delete the terrifying ware-wolf's system and befriends a baby software-wolf. Once in the castle, Gertie finds Voltoid in sleep mode and can see he's in dire need of a system clean and software update. She's almost finished when she realises she has forgotten her software bag! The young software-wolf leaps forward declaring 'I've got the latest updates!' He sinks his teeth into Voltoid's core, and loads him up with V-DOS 10.4. As the vampire's screen changes from sickly green to desktop blue, he reverts back to his normal friendly self. Over time, Gertie and the young software-wolf's success is written into the history of the town, eventually becoming a meme with a total data stream!
I absolutely love Graeme's play on tech terminology and there are lots of humorous character names (PC Web, MacSpam, Gertie Gif) and lines like 'I'm told the thing to do is drive a sharpened vector through his undead CPU', 'A cleaning out is what you need - now open up those ports.' And teachers will totally relate to the line 'No wonder I feel better - you've deleted Comic Sans!' This has to be one of the most overused fonts in education! Graeme's black and white illustrations are a delight and there is something new to discover every time the reader revisits a page. The aerial image of Gertie as she and the young software-wolf enter Voltoids' lair would be a wonderful study in perspective for young artists. A masterful interweaving of old and new that is a must have for school library and home collections.
Use this story in classrooms for poetry studies, storytelling, myths and legends, art studies (perspective, use of black and white for impact, how to bring character to inanimate objects) and of course as a comparison study to the story of Dracula! Themes to be explored could include bravery, adventure and friendship.

Falling for the Highlander (Highland Brides #4)
by Lynsay Sands
Goodreads rating: 3.94
Lady Murine Carmichael has known her share of bad luck. But when her debt-ridden half-brother tries to sell her off in exchange for a few Scottish horses, it's the final straw. If keeping her freedom means escaping through harsh countryside alone, so be it. She has barely begun her journey when she lands an unlikely escort—the brawny Highlander who just refused to buy her virtue.
Dougall Buchanan was disgusted by Lord Danvries' shameful offer, but Murine herself tempts him beyond measure. Even bedraggled and dusty, the lass glows with beauty and bravery. Dougall wants to do more than just help her flee. He wants to protect her—with his life and his heart—if she'll only let him. For Murine may be pursued by a powerful foe, but nothing compares to the fiery courage of a Highlander in love.

Update – 8:30 a.m., June 2 – Steve Salis, the co-founder and face of the popular regional restaurant chain &pizza, is no longer the CEO of the company, Bethesda Beat has learned.
Salis said he recently moved on from running the day-to-day operations of the company he started with Michael Lastoria in Washington, D.C., in 2012 for a "myriad of factors."
He said the company plans to hire a new CEO. Lastoria remains the company's president.
"Everything worked out just fine," Salis said Friday. "It was planned for us to bring in somebody else to run the day-to-day."
Salis said he remains a "significant stakeholder" in the business. "I thought the business was at the right point for us to bring in a blue chip, top-notch CEO to run the company," Salis said and later added, "We did what was best for the business."
"Michael and Steve founded a company and Steve's moved on," Barbara Martin, an &pizza spokeswoman, said about the change in leadership. Martin said Lastoria is currently also serving as the CEO. She countered what Salis said, saying that Lastoria is the CEO and the company is not currently looking for a new leader.
The CEO change comes after the company received a $10 million investment in February to fund the business's expansion plans. The investment came from a private family investor, according to a March report in Nation's Restaurant News. At the time, the publication reported the pizza company's board of directors includes Sandy Beall, the founder and former CEO of Ruby Tuesday; Edward Albertian, CEO of City Sports Inc.; and John Barton, operating partner with the investment firm LNK Partners.
Salis said his decision to leave the CEO post did not have to do with the recent influx of funding the company has received.
The restaurant chain has three locations in Montgomery County—in downtown Bethesda, Dowtown Crown and Germantown. A fourth will open soon at Pike & Rose in North Bethesda. Overall, the chain has 10 locations in the Washington area.
The Bethesda &pizza opened in May 2014 on Old Georgetown Road. When it opened, Salis was 31 and had played a major role in building the company from an idea that he had while living in New York City.
The company has built its brand on a community-minded, free-spirited concept in which each restaurant features a mural or some kind of connection to the neighborhood where it's located. The company often refers to its employees as "tribe" members. The chain was one of the first fast-casual pizza restaurants to open in what has since become a nationwide trend.
In a 2014 interview with Bethesda Beat, Salis said expanding nationally is risky for a business because "you start to stretch yourself in a lot of areas," He added: "Right now we're focusing on building a definable brand in this area."
Update – June 2 – Editor's Note: Barbara Martin, the &pizza spokesperson said Tuesday that Michael Lastoria is serving as the company's CEO. The story has been updated to reflect this new information.

The HARVARD CLUB (1930-41) was one of the largest gambling operations between New York and Chicago during the 1930s. The movable gambling casino, located at various addresses on Harvard Ave. in NEWBURGH HTS., accommodated 500-1,000 gamblers a night from all over the country who came to shoot craps and to play the slot machines, roulette, and all-night poker. Originally operated by Wm. Fergus and later by Frank Joiner, the club, then located at 3111 Harvard Ave., was taken over in 1933 by Jas. "Shimmy" Patton, Arthur Hebebrand, and Daniel T. Gallagher. Although a celebrated raid, led by Safety Director ELIOT NESS, closed the Harvard club 10 Jan. 1936, it reopened at 4209 Harvard Ave. the next month with expanded gambling facilities and a fleet of limousines for free customer pickup from downtown Cleveland. The club continued operation in spite of scandals, police raids, grand jury investigations, and ownership changes until 1941 when Judge FRANK J. LAUSCHE ordered it closed. The judge's order was defied until Lausche constituted Det. Capt. Michael Blackwell an officer of the court, a position which allowed him and his squad of Cleveland police to finally close the club in April.

True confessions: I'm a frustrated BYU football fan.
Performance on the field is only one of the issues, but I'll save you all from my personal complaints.
BYU does not release much financial information about their athletic programs. However, what they do release is incredibly valuable – if you combine it with some other bits of publicly available data. Take a few pieces of information, apply some basic math, and you end up with a pretty clear picture of BYU's athletic budget (on a somewhat delayed basis).
For the 2015-2016 academic year (the year that ended in the spring of 2016), BYU's athletic budget was approximately $46 Million. This was basically unchanged from the prior year (again, according to my arithmetic) although the possible range narrowed to $42.5 Million to $50 Million.
The following table shows the revenue sources for BYU's athletic budget (please note that numbers are approximations from rounded figures even though they give the appearance of specificity).
What's most interesting are the changes occurring over the last couple of years:
- While the budget stayed the same from the previous year, it was up $10 Million over a two year span
- The largest contributor, by far, to this two-year increase was in the Donations/Endowments category contributing $3.5 Million, or 35% of the overall increase
- Reliance on donors is expected to continue in future years. BYU has released the percentages that made up 2016-2017 athletic budget, and Donations/Endowments grew from 20% of revenue to 22% of revenue (this is all up from 15% of revenue in 2012)
- Other areas of two-year revenue growth have been TV/Radio, Basketball Tickets, Conference/NCAA, Guarantees, and Other
- Noticeably absent from this growth list is the revenue from football tickets. If anything, revenue from the sale of football tickets is lower over the two year span
Where does the $46 Million (+/-) go? The following table uses this estimate of BYU's budget and applies their percentages of operating expenditures:
One interesting comment from comparing the two charts above: It appears that Sports Camps lost approximately $500,000 during the year. While it's possible this is accurate, it's impossible to know without taking a more holistic view of BYU's finances. For example, perhaps a lot of that expense is flowing back to the University for housing of kids at sports camps. It's an expense, but it's staying within the university. A similar uncertainty is at the interaction between the TV/Radio revenue line and Donations/Endowments.
Finally, I can't help but wonder if the poor performance on the field will create increased budget pressures at BYU especially given their increased reliance on donations.
