WASHINGTON: United States President Barack Obama on Tuesday nominated a career diplomat, David Hale, as ambassador to Pakistan.
He has to be approved by the Senate before he takes over his new responsibilities in Islamabad.
Mr Hale, born 1961, has currently been the US ambassador to Lebanon since Aug. 1, 2013. He will succeed Richard Olson, who has been US ambassador in Islamabad since September 2012.
Mr Hale had previously been the Special US Envoy for Middle East Peace between 2011 to 2013. Before that he was the deputy envoy from 2009-11.
Hale also served as the US ambassador to Jordan from 2005 to 2008, after multiple tours in Jordan and Lebanon and service in Tunisia, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, and at the U.S. Mission to the UN.
In Washington, Mr Hale was Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Israel, Egypt and the Levant and Director for Israel-Palestinian Affairs.
He held several staff posts, including Executive Assistant to Secretary of State Albright.
In 2013 former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton gave him the Distinguished Service Award. Mr Hale also has several Department Superior and Meritorious Honor awards.
He speaks Arabic, is a graduate of Georgetown University's School of Foreign Service, and a native of New Jersey. Hale joined the Foreign Service in 1984.
The United States has vowed to step up security and intelligence cooperation with Pakistan in a bid to combat Islamist militants. But relations have often been strained.

The Best of 2017
Given the heavy grading work at the backend of this year, and the dodgy weather, I am having to call it on the collecting season. November has been a fairly poor month for collecting: if it wasn't raining (or snowing), the nicer days frustratingly coincided with days I had to be on campus.
But as I lay down my trusted tools in my move from labour to refreshment, I can look back on this year having been my absolute best. And, perhaps, much credit is due those reliable tools that have served me so well in breaking through hundreds of tons of rock. Of course, credit is mostly due my lovely partner Deb who not only added thousands of clicks to the car, but for being such an enthusiastic co-collector.
This year's trips included:
* 2 to Penn Dixie (Devonian)
* 2 to Brechin (Ordovician)
* 1 to Bowmanville (Ordovician)
* 1 to Collingwood area (Ordovician)
* 12+ to Arkona (Devonian)
* 30+ to my nearby honey hole (Devonian)
Many of those trips have reports posted here in the blog. It has also meant meeting plenty of new collecting friends with whom to break rock with. If that were not in itself fantastic, I also got into preparation courtesy of having purchased an air eraser and air scribe. I've upped my game considerably, turning a casual hobby into a true passion. It was not that long ago that I may have made a few short visits to Arkona and in my backyard with little more than a nail hammer and a wood chisel. Now, with the right tools, I carved out hundreds of feet of benches and cracked hundreds of tons of rock. The collection has grown by an order of magnitude.
I also purchased or was gifted several delightful pieces this year. Another aspect that has made this a banner year would be a surge of trilobites where 2017 added no fewer than 29 new species, a few of them very rare and not reliably reported in the literature.
Above is a snapshot of many of the new species in my display.
So, last year I made a "best of" post for each category. This year is going to be immensely difficult to make those choices as so many of them are deserving of the honour. But try I must.
Best trilobite of the year
Despite all the lovely ones I've purchased, received, and found - particularly from the Ordovician - I'm giving the nod to this lovely plate of three full Greenops widderensis. Certainly this species is not new to the collection, but the rarity of finding so many clustered together like this in a difficult matrix makes it worthy. My runners-up would be Mannopyge halli, and Isotelus, Ceraurus, and, well, all the other ones I found!
Honourable mention goes to this beauty, expertly prepped by Malcolm Thornley.
Best cephalopod of the year
It's a three-way tie. It could have been four if I included the the big nautiloid whoppers I found at Brechin. Clockwise from top left: a lovely Goniatite from Arkona, some lovely Jurassic ammonites from Roger, and an exquisitely pyritized nautiloid from the Widder shale.
Best PISCES of the year
Amidst some cool placoderm pieces, and some really neat Diplurus pieces from Tim, the prize this year goes to Deb and her huge chunk of placoderm armour belonging to Protitanichthys.
Best gastropod of the year
Plenty of contenders this year, including some nicely preserved Platyceras, and some rarer spired gastros from the Verulam Formation, but I'm settling on this long one from the Verulam for its size alone.
BEst bryozoan of the year
I always pick up interesting looking bryozoans, and this year saw quite a few. However, hands down, this Constellaria from the Verulam Fm will take the prize if only on account of its exceptional rarity in that formation.
Best ichnofossil of the year
I don't really get jazzed about ichnofossils, but this broom-headed one was so worth picking up that even Deb found one on our second trip to Brechin. This one is Phycodes ottawensis, and these are formed by worms burrowing from the same spot repeatedly taking different pathways in the muck.
best phyllocarid of the year
Another fantastic find by Deb at Arkona, a thick phyllocarid jaw. This would be our first.
best brachiopod of the year
No point making a decision. I've pulled quite a few nice brachs this year, but this smorgasbord of about 1,000 intact ones spanning 6 species from Penn Dixie will have to be the winner this year.
I'm begging off the best coral of the year, and a few other categories. I can say the fossil I collected that came from the farthest distance from home would be the Cretaceous oysters and sundry bits from Magoita Beach in Portugal.
But this year would not have been anywhere near as spectacular if it weren't for the people whose time, company, and generousity truly made it shine. Apart from Deb, I can certainly add to the roster of great fossil companions, Tim J., Malcolm T., Roger F., Jay W., Kevin B., Kevin K., Jason R., Ralph J., Marc H., Ron B., and others I may have neglected to mention.
Best year ever! And thanks to the visitors to this blog for reading. Perhaps more posts will be in the offing as winter time means being holed up indoors and engaging in some prep.
UPDATE: Malcolm just showed me a few bugs of mine and Deb's that he prepped. A true master. The left one is Ceraurus and the right one is a Greenops.
The first step is admitting one has a problem!
When Deb and I went to the Home Depot to pick up some foam to seal an area around the pipe, I found myself "wandering" over to the hammer section where I pondered whether to buy a 3' wrecking bar to supplement my smaller pry bar, a new cold chisel with a longer head, and a 4lb blacksmith sledge to go with my regular 4lb sledge. Deb played enabler by telling me I should get them. So I did. But that obliged me to try them out since we are planning to return to Penn Dixie in early October.
So we went to Arkona's Hungry Hollow. And let me tell you that lugging that many pounds of tools and supplies around through a lot of brush and tough terrain ain't always easy!
Making Benches
Unless one wants to be contented with surface collecting of whatever stuff may weather out of the cliff through the process of erosion, the only real and serious way to get at some very nice specimens is to carve slabs out of the wall for splitting. To do that, one has to create a "bench," which is like a long notch in the wall where one can sit and lever out slabs to the left, right, and down.
So we were ready to get started on continuing a bench in the cliff face we found some months back, that we've been steadily extending. I worked a bit on an upper bench that I eventually connected to the lower bench, and created another even lower bench than the one Deb was working on. Having the 3' wrecking bar was making this a lot more efficient (but still back breaking work!). It isn't easy making benches, or even sometimes extending them - there can be a crazy amount of overburden clumped together and slumped over. I've had to go through several feet of the stuff in depth before hitting the actual wall. The other problem can be natural underground springs that leak through the shale, making it wet, muddy, and crumbly. There are plenty of fossils in those, but they just crumble or turn to mud. One has to go deeper into the wall to find dry shale.
Once we were able to cut deep into the cliff face, we found that some of the more trilobite-filled layers were within about a 4 inch area. This picture hardly does any justice to how much rock and overburden was removed. This multi-level bench is aboout 3-4' deep, 7-8' high, and about 15' wide. At a few points I was able to exploit a major crack or fissure to send a few hundred pounds of debris and shale chips tumbling down. There are layers that are just choked with large spirifers. I found a few that had some nautiloids more commonly spread throughout.
Here you can see the bench-build from two different angles. Again, it's difficult to really convey the amount of work we did.
What does five hours of breaking rock get you? Well, for Deb, a full Greenops widderensis. Given the gazillions of moult pieces we keep finding in the Widder Formation, a full specimen is not common. And they are very delicate, so we took several precautions in transport back to the car. But, just to put the spotlight on Deb - this was her fantastic fossil find.
And I'll end his post with just some recent pics as I try to organize some of the recent and past finds. The first is a tray with bays - on the left mostly complete prone and semi-prone Eldredgeops rana; in the centre my accumulation of crinoid stems and sections; on the right a hodge-podge of mostly complete rollers with one Crassiproetus marginatus(?) pygidium since I haven't found a home for it. The final image below is my fully prepped out double roller from Penn Dixie.
As summer draws to a close, I can expect the wasps to be out in full force for about a month until the trees all start turning. If that most precious commodity of time permits, I'll be spending a part of the autumn going on various fossil expeditions. But I thought for today's post it would be nice to look at my burgeoning collection. This is not, by any stretch, the entire collection. I am just slowly populating these new and nifty containers Deb bought me.
This pic shows off a few nice pieces. In the left bay are mostly bryozoans and corals I haven't really sorted yet, and a smaller container of crinoid bits. The middle bay is still a WIP. The bay on the right sports my collection of trilobite rollers and a small container of combined goniatites and tornoceras.
These bays are a few inches deep. Pictured here are my assortment of brachiopods - mostly spirifers with a few other species. And this is not all of them. I probably have close to a thousand of them now.
This is my "to sort" pile. You can see plenty of crinoid stems, the odd pygidium of a trilobite, and a few examples of the "button coral" microcyclus.

NARP Meets World
The Beginning of a New Era
It's a cutthroat jungle out here at Dartmouth — a dog-eat-dog world where the only two things that can help you make it in life are social capital and a slick pair of Sperry's. Although I had neither of these things when I came up to Hanover as a youngblood freshman, I was still pretty cocky. I had big hopes, ambitious aspirations and a beautiful flow of hair. But in just a mere year, I had lost it all. My dreams were shattered, my pride had been pummeled to the ground and my hair was gone after I buzzed it off with a friend. Over my freshman year, I looked at myself through the reflection of my decrepit mirror in the even more run-down Russell Sage dorm room. Day by day, I saw a handsome man full of youth and vigor slowly transform into a jaw-sunken man with jadedness painted across his face.
At this point, you might be asking yourself, "Matt, you are a good looking man based off of your writer's profile on The Dartmouth's website. What could have ever happened to such a heartthrob that would render him impotent?" Well, my friends, the answer is two fold. Let me open your eyes to the wonders of Photoshop, but more importantly the harsh reality at Dartmouth.
Here in the Big Green, there exists a bipartisan divide almost as old as time itself, deeply embedded within the social fabric of the College. That is, the jarring social divide between the Non-Athletic Regular Person and the Athlete. To put it bluntly, the Athlete has it all. These bronze-skinned Adonises with beautiful locks of curly brown hair and massive lacrosse sticks simply flourish in the social scene. They quickly consume almost all this college has to offer, leaving none but a few drips of social capital for the average NARP to sip through the means of a degree in economics and three Greek letters on a chest. As you can already tell from the demoralized tone of this insider article, I myself fall within the category of the NARP, a reality almost as sad as the fact that I am writing a column about being a NARP.
But it wasn't always like this. There was once a time when I myself was a titan.
Back in the Gilded Age of high school, I had effortlessly climbed to the top of the social ladder through unparalleled charm, intelligence and wit. In just a few years, I had established myself as the pharaoh sitting on the top of my high school's social pyramid. I was the head honcho, the big enchilada, the Alpha Male. Yet I was playing a dangerous game. In just a few terms at Dartmouth, my Tower of Babel had been taken away right under my feet, leaving me with my wings broken and my ego destroyed. Like Icarus, I was flying too close to the sun — I had been put in my place as a NARP.
You see, there are a few harsh realities of being a NARP that are just outright demoralizing. In my experience, the worst part about being a NARP is that athletes around me constantly overshadow me — both metaphorically and literally. By that, I mean that I am tiny. Back in my heyday, I was pretty confident with my height. Standing a whopping total of 5 feet and 8 inches, I of course wasn't the tallest kid in my school by any means. However, what I lacked in height I could make up for with intelligence and great hair.
Unfortunately, these two things become moot when every single athlete on this campus not only has intelligence and great hair but also has a perfectly chiseled 6-feet-plus body. Here we see a classic example of David versus Goliath, except David doesn't win in this match-up. More on the topic of size, I distinctly remember being really confused my first few days on campus as a freshman. Walking around my dorm, I remember asking myself why there were so many upperclassmen living in my freshman dorm. Turns out they were just really tall freshmen. Whoops. But one year later, as a forgotten sophomore, I am even more surprised by how some of the '20s are even taller than my fellow '19 athletes. At this rate, I am going to be a small speck by the time I am a washed-up senior. In addition, I am also going to be single forever because even Prince Charming stands no chance when he's competing against a legion of athletic gods.
But there is a ray of sunshine shining through this darkness. If you've stayed with me up until this point, I might as well drop some pearls of wisdom while I still have your attention. My momma always told me that it doesn't matter how many times you get knocked down, but rather how many times you get back up. Okay, I lied. I got that off the Internet. The point is, I've patted the dust off my butt and your boy Matt Yuen has the secrets to overcoming the nefarious NARP ceiling. Stay tuned for next week's column, as I share how I rose to become the king of this middle-of-nowhere campus we call home.

Hunter4Life123 was citizen of Switzerland. She was very concentrated on the game play, as an active Swiss Soldier and politician.
She was a member of Guillotinist Guild that Monsieur Guillontine was president of. Eventually, Hunter4Life123 moved to the Swiss Liberal Party for a while. Then she switched over to the Swiss Freedom Party to run for Party President. She did not win. After that, the past Party President of the Swiss Liberal Party, mungos95, called her to come and stay there. So she did where she managed to win 5 party presidency terms in her stay there.
Hunter4Life has also attempted to get into congress on several occasions. Her first candidature failed. On the second time, Hunter4Life123 would have been in congress, but Switzerland lost all of their regions to Croatia, so Switzerland did not have a congress. On her third attempt, she was successful and was in congress during September 2012. Afterwards she managed to get in the Congress on 3 more occasions.
During Patar333's presidency (June 5, 2012-July 4, 2012), Hunter4Life123 served as the Minister of Information. When Vukio was elected president (July 5, 2012), Hunter4Life123 became the Vice Minister of Finance, under XxBusinessMogulexX's authority. She was also Minister of Information once more.
During July 2012, she got into a small feud with another Swiss citizen, mungos95. She objected to the fact that mungos95, as the Party President of the Swiss Liberal Party, did not hold adequate measures to ensure who the party would support, in the August 2012 Country President elections, was chosen democratically. After the feud escalated through a series of articles, Hunter4Life123 decided that things had gotten out of hand. She called for a ceasefire and one happened between mungos95 and her. That was settled, and Hunter4Life123 had even elected mungos95 as Vice President of her party.
Hunter4Life123 was also in a feud with a known PTOer, Cronoss as she fought to unite eSwitzerland before the October 2012 country president elections so eSwitzerland can overpower Cronoss.

She was a member of the Swiss Guard.

Laurentian cross-country, track add to talent pool
Recruiting high-end track and cross-country athletes may be as challenging and as competitive as ever, but Laurentian Voyageurs head coach Dick Moss believes the latest crop of incoming talent is one of the best in his program's history.
This week, Laurentian revealed the names of 10 runners who will attend the university this fall, including a handful who are either local, or have connections to the Nickel City.
"This could be the most talented recruiting class we have ever had one the men's side, and to tell you the truth, probably the women's side, as well," said Moss, who shares coaching duties at LU with Darren Jermyn, Jenna Thornber, Tom Black and Joe Burke.
A familiar names is that of long-distance specialist Keon Wallingford, a North Bay native and Widdifield Secondary School alumnus who will study criminology at Laurentian. He's the grandson of Ron Wallingford, a longtime professor and former coach in the track and cross-country programs at Laurentian.
Also highlighting the men's side is Chase Canty of Windsor, Ont., a Vincent Massey High School alumnus and second-place finisher at Canadian under-18 cross-country championships, who was also sixth at OFSAA cross-country.
"He's a pretty high-profile guy," Moss said. "If you finish in the top 10 at OFSAA, a lot of those guys are going to the States. Actually, a lot of guys in the top 20 are going to the States."
Dylan Brown is another name that may ring a bell for those who follow post-secondary running closely. The Newmarket, Ont. native is a graduate of Lakehead University who finished fourth at CIS cross-country in 2014, but hasn't raced in about four years. Now, he's headed to Laurentian to earn a masters in human kinetics and to revive his cross-country career.
"He has been working as a kinesiologist in the Sault, but wants to go back to school and wants to get back into running at a more competitive level," Moss said. "He's a guy who has got some experience, for sure."
Maurice Graenert, a sports psychology major who hails from Aurora, Ont., has finished as high as 41st at OFSAA cross-country, but his specialization is the 800 metres, with a time of 1:56.05 to his credit.
With Graenert's addition, Moss and his staff believe LU's 4×800-metre relay team has a good chance of making nationals in 2019-20.
Nick Lambert, a runner and triathlete from Elliot Lake, is a former gold medallist at Ontario Summer Games, while Ryan Vincent, another Newmarket product, has had solid showings at OFSAA cross-country, as well.
Sudbury native Christina Robert leads an impressive list on the women's side. The Lo-Ellen Park Secondary School alumna is a sprinter who was eighth in the 100 metres at national under-20 championships in 2018.
"She had some injury issues this year, so kind of fell under the radar," Moss said. "She's a really good one and she's already running times that will do quite well at the university level."
Elizabeth Drake of Stratford, Ont., who finished 49th at OFSAA cross-country last year, is another runner with a local ties. Her high school coach was Mark Dewan, a former member of LU's cross-country and track teams.
Angela Mozzon of Sudbury, as well as Ashley Valentini, from Oshawa, Ont., round out the list of female runners who hope to show well this coming season.
This week's announcement was the result of a lot of time and effort, Moss said, including a long series of emails, calls, texts and exchanges of video and photos with those who couldn't easily visit campus. A good understanding of the university's academic offerings, as well as a strong relationship with the liaison department, are key.
"The program is certainly part of it, too," Moss said. "Our teams have been improving. The women's team was top 10 in the country last year and they have done that twice in the last four years. The guys' team made it to nationals and finished 13th in only the fourth season since their reinstatement."
Another selling point for LU, he said, is the strong performance support team.
"All of our kids have access to an osteopath, massage therapists, we have student trainers that work on them every day. We have a sports psychologist who works with them, a yoga instructor who does a running-specific program for them, they have access to a nutritionist. Darren is a physiotherapist himself, so he's there at every practice and he does gait analysis, too. We have done a lot of work with athletes who have had an injury history who have come up here and we have had a pretty good record in terms of getting those kids healthy again."
Laurentian's cross-country team will hold its first practices in September to prepare for OUA championships in October and U Sports championships in November. The indoor track season starts in January.

Character Info
In-Game Name: Zhoorg
Class: Shaman
Primary Talent Spec: Restoration
Scondary(off)Specs: Elemental
What made you choose these specs for raiding?: I always loved healing and I have mostly healed throughout my WoW 'career'. I mained Rdruid for many years but I have switched to Rshaman when legion started as it was more appealing to me.
What made you gear/gem/enchant like you have?: Up to date guides and forums like icy-veins/wowhead, just to stay ahead of the curve. I have done lots of m+ this week so I can get geared up for raiding.
Would you be willing to respec to the guilds needs?: Of course, however, I'd rather change to another type of healer if needed.
Your Current Artifact neck lvl: 63 - I should be up to date in a few days. (I have just returned after a 1 year break and I plan to stick around)
Link to current armory profile: https://worldofwarcraft.com/en-gb/chara ... nor/zhoorg
Link to relevant logs: I have no logs at the time, as I have said above I have just returned 1 week ago, but I can go through any trials and test you need. You can kick me if not satisfactory, but I have used to be a top edge rshaman.
Guild and Raid Info
Previous Guilds: I have recently been in Rewind, but they had no spot for me.
How long were you in your previous guilds? A week.
Why did you leave your previous guilds?: Mythic core full.
Do you know anyone in the Fifth Sin?: No.
Raid Experience, elaborate!: I have always arrived at end-end game content, since TBC/WOTLK. Since mythic raiding started I have always been able to clear at least 50% of content with my current guilds at the time. I have been to various realms and guilds during my time in wow, thus, I have tried many things. All in all, I believe I have lots of raiding experience and I can get mixed with the team in no-time.
How do you prepare for raids and new encounters?: I watch videos on youtube for visual clarification, then read about boss mechanics and tactics and I make sure I am up to date with my class requirements.
Are you willing to wipe lots to learn a new encounter?: Of course, that's the whole point of progress. No one is born smart , I think.
Tell us a little about your playstyle, what you think you are good at, less good at, etc.: I am really good at healing and I can keep my calm during stressful fights. I usually follow very good the mechanics and keep my team alive. I might mess up sometimes, because I can be too concentrated on healing and not be careful to my environment. However this happens rarely. I always try to improve where I may lack something, that's why I appreciate a guild with constructive criticism.

How much do you play?: Around 4-5 hours a day. Will play more during weekends
Has your account been traded or passed on?: No.

How did you first come across Fifth Sin, and what led you to apply?: WowProgress as I am currently looking for a mythic 'home'.
Anything else you would like to add? (optional):
The Ultimate Question - Sell Yourself
Why do you want to join Fifth Sin, and why should we recruit you?:
First of all, I want to join you because you look like a very competitive and active guild, which appeals to me very much. The fact that you have mixed European core is even better and I am also intrigued that you are one of the few guilds that survived since Vanilla. Second, as you can see from the data, there's little about my playing ability. I have been away for the past year as I had some personal stuff going on. But now things changed in my life and I am able to stick around to the game. I used to be a top notch healer and I still am, I am very good team-player and I understand what 'progress' actually means. I am also active and I do a lot of mythic+, which I used to sell boosts ages ago, because I was able (with some guildies) to do very high keys. I can also help the guild with professions if needed, I used to be an officer and I know how much it means to be organised and have all the right stuff at the right moment. I truly believe in myself and I know I can be an asset for your mythic team; I just need a chance to be able to prove this in facts not just words.
Just to confirm that I am not lying or over-exaggerating. https://raider.io/characters/eu/draenor ... ason-7.3.2

Bhubaneswar: India on Tuesday successfully test fired its short-range nuclear capable ballistic missile Agni-I from a test range off the Odisha coast, defence sources said.
The missile, which can strike a target 700 km away, was launched as a part of a periodic training activity by the Strategic Forces Command (SFC) of the army to consolidate operational readiness from a mobile launcher at Pad 4 of the Integrated Test Range (ITR) at the Dr Abdul Kalam Island, formerly known as Wheeler Island, near Dhamra in Bhadrak district, 170 km from state capital Bhubaneswar, sources said.
"The trajectory of the trial was tracked by a battery of sophisticated radars, telemetry observation stations, electro-optic instruments and naval ships from its launch till the missile hit the target area with pin point accuracy," sources said.
The missile weighs 12 tonnes and can carry payloads up to 1,000 kg. The missile is also capable of carrying nuclear warheads.

Best Mouse for Fortnite
Fortnite, is currently the biggest phenomenon in gaming and has taken the world by storm. Titles like PUBG and Call of Duty: Blackout offer pretty stiff competition, but Fortnite is still far and away the reigning champ in the Battle Royale sub-genre of gaming.
Starting out on the PC, Fortnite has since expanded to home consoles, the Nintendo Switch, and even mobile. But the definitive version of Fortnite is without a doubt the PC experience, and unless you're playing on PC, you are selling yourself short.
This doesn't come as much of a surprise. Fortnite may not be your standard FPS, but an FPS it still is, and that's a genre that was made, and is best played via PC. Keyboard and mouse are more responsive, and allow for quicker reactions and aiming. On top of that, you have building, the aspect of Fortnite that separates it from all other Battle Royale titles (Fortnite clones notwithstanding).
There are some noteworthy console players, such as Nickmercs, Upshall, and Gronky, but at the end of the day, even the best builders on console don't compare to PC players. That's just the way it works. So, if you are looking to be the best Fortnite player you can possible be, then grab a PC and invest in the best mouse for Fortnite.
A gaming mouse is an indispensable tool for any PC gamer and as such, you want to make sure that you purchase a top tier mouse. Priorities can vary depending on the video game genre, but for an FPS like Fortnite, you should be aiming for a mouse that is lightweight, and has a great sensor. There are tons of good options to choose from, but luckily for you, we've already done the work and narrowed down the playing field. Here is a list of the best gaming mouse for Fortnite.
Is the Logitech G Pro Wireless the Best Mouse for Fortnite
- Logitech's Hero Sensor is the best on the market
- Outstanding battery life
- Lightweight; includes 10-gram weight if you prefer heavier mice
- Ambidextrous
- Latency tests just as well as wired competitors
- Onboard memory
- Very expensive
- Not the best mouse for palm grip users
Logitech has been the dominant brand in the wireless gaming mouse market for quite some time, and with the G Pro Wireless, may have made the perfect wireless mouse.
Notable issues with wireless gaming mice, include latency issues, weight, and battery life. With the G Pro Wireless, none of these are a concern. Latency tests show the G Pro being comparable to wired brethren with performance being top notch. Logitech have switched to a lighter battery with this model, which is largely responsible for the G Pro Wireless weighing in at a mere 80 grams. This is light even for wired mice, but definitely an achievement for wireless mice. You can also drop the weight 77 grams if you remove the bottom panel.
Logitech's Hero optical sensor is by far the best on the market, competing with the PMW 3366 and 3360, but the Hero sensor consumes 10X less power, making it far more efficient. DPI can scale up to 16,000 and scales in increments of 50. Adjustments can be made via Logitech's software, or with the DPI button located on the bottom which ensures the elimination of accidental clicks. This mouse also sports onboard memory which is always a plus, especially for pro gamers.
Clicks are nice and responsive, and the side buttons are modular and can be easily removed and or replaced. The G Pro Wireless is also an ambidextrous mouse which is great since top of the line ambidextrous mice are not easy to come by.
As far as battery life goes, the G Pro Wireless is best in class. With RGB lighting enabled, you can expect around 48 hours of continuous use. With RGB lighting disabled, the battery life increases to around 60 hours.
There isn't much to complain about with the G Pro Wireless; Logitech has been making great strides in the gaming mice market over the past few years, and the G Pro Wireless may be their best mouse yet.
The biggest complaint with the G Pro Wireless, is far and away, the price. Wireless gaming mice in general have always been pretty expensive; Logitech wireless mice in particular. Just like the G903 before it, the G Pro Wireless will set you back a pretty penny; $150 to be exact. Black Friday may offer up some good discounts, but don't get your hopes up. This is what a top tier mouse looks like and if you want it, you have to be willing to pay the price.
Another thing to keep in mind, is that this mouse isn't the most suitable for palm grip gamers out there. Fingertip and Claw grip gamers will be fine, but if Palm is your grip style of choice, you will probably want to look elsewhere.
A few years ago, there was a heavy stigma around wireless gaming mice. They cost more than they were worth, were too heavy, had latency issues, and were just all-around inferior to wired mice when it came to latency. This is no longer the case. Wireless gaming mice nowadays are excellent, and there's no reason not to try them anymore. The G Pro Wireless is easily one of, if not the best gaming mouse currently on the market. Used by pros like TSM Myth and SypherPK, if you've got the cash, then it is well worth the investment.
Finalmouse Ultralight Phantom
- 67 grams; extremely lightweight
- Cable has been vastly improved over the Ultralight Pro
- Top of the line optical sensor
- Snappy clicks
- Weight may take getting used to
- No RGB LED
- Always sold out; can be hard to buy
Finalmouse is easily one of the best brands on the market when it comes to gaming mice, and if you don't know why, look no further than the Ultralight Phantom. This mouse isn't used by Ninja and Tfue for nothing.
The Phantom is near-identical to the older Ultralight Pro with the exception of the cable. The cable for the Ultralight Pro was one of the biggest complaints, as it isn't very flexible and leaves a lot to be desired. The cable on the Phantom however, is outstanding.
Finalmouse has also maintains their standard for lightweight mice, with The Phantom, weighing in at around 67 grams. Few competitors can come close to such a lightweight, and it is something that Finalmouse is known for.
Clicks on this mouse are snappy and responsive, and you should not have any issues with accidental clicks. It also sports an ambidextrous design, so it can be used by lefties.
The optical sensor here, is the PMW 3360 which is top of the line. It's not as good as Logitech's Hero Sensor, but there's nothing really to complain about.
If you are interested in purchasing the Ultralight Phantom, then you really need to be on top of your game. Finalmouse products are very popular, and are often out of stock which can make them a bit tricky to get your hands on.
It should also be noted that this is a performance over appearance gaming mouse. The new paint splatter design is cool, but the honeycomb design which is responsible for the low weight, isn't for everyone. There is also no RGB lighting options if that is something you can about. Finalmouse gaming mice don't use software, and The Phantom comes with standard 400, 800, 1600, and 3200 DPI options.
The Ultralight Phantom might not be the best looker, but it is definitely one of the best performers and significantly less expensive than the G Pro Wireless. If you favor wired mice, then this is definitely one of your best options.
SteelSeries Rival 600
- Great shape and comfortable design
- Awesome RGB lighting options
- Comes with 8 4-Gram weights if you prefer heavier mice
- Extra left-hand side button comes in handy
- Rubber cable instead of braided
- Side pads quality control issues
- Small hands may have issues fully utilizing it
Rounding out our top three, is the SteelSeries Rival 600. Another favorite of pros and streamers a like, the Rival 600 is one comfortable mouse thanks largely in part to the comfort grooves.
The Rival 600 has what is my opinion, the best RGB lighting options out there, with several customizable zones that you can fill in with your own gradient options. It looks really cool and for RGB enthusiasts, this is definitely a mouse to keep in mind.
The sensors on board here, are the TrueMove 3 Optical Sensor and the Optical Depth Sensor used for lift off detection. Not best in class, but definitely top tier. CPI can scale up to 12,000 and scales in increments of 100. It has 7 customizable buttons, including a nice top side button on the left-hand side which can come in handy. 7 buttons are enough to give you a lot of options, not so much as to overwhelm you. Clicks are nice and responsive and the split trigger system does its job well.
The Rival 600 does a good job in weight compromise. It comes in at around 98 grams, which isn't the lightest but light enough, and also comes with 8 4-gram weights that you can add in.
This is a pretty big mouse, so keep that in mind if you have small hands. The added button on the left-hand side can be pretty hard to reach if you don't have large hands. The rubber pads on the side give some people issues and sometimes can cause you to lose your grip. This varies from person to person. There are also some quality control issues with these side pads, as many have reported the glue coming off which forces them to replace the mouse.
A lot of gamers prefer braided cables over rubber, so if you are one of these people. keep in mind this mouse uses a rubber cable. If you purchase the Rival 600 from SteelSeries' website, you can get a free Mouse Bungee which helps.
All in all, the Rival 600 is one of the best gaming mouse options, especially for gamers who prefer heavy mice (Which is not recommended for FPS games, but such gamers do exist). It's very comfortable, has some of the most responsive clicks, and possesses one of the most aesthetically appealing designs out there.
Best Cheap Gaming Mouse Option: Logitech G102/G203
- G Pro except cheaper
- Sensor is excellent regardless of price range
- Great shape and comfortable design
- Better cable than the G Pro
- Doesn't come in red
- People with large hands may have issues
If you can't afford one of the higher-end mice, or if you're just not sure if you want to make the full transition into PC Master Race, then you will probably want to start off with an inexpensive mouse. I understand entirely; when I first started PC gaming, my first gaming mouse was the Redragon M601, which cost me all of 12 bucks. We all need to start somewhere right?
If a cheap gaming mouse is what you are looking for, then look no further than the Logitech G102/203. They are the same mouse, but are sold in different regions. I am primarily suggesting the G203, since it is currently $26.59 whereas the G102 is $35-$40 at the moment. In America at least.
Both mice are essentially Logitech's iconic G Pro, except they are cheaper, have better cables, and use a different (But still excellent) sensor. And yes, that's a very good thing.
The shape is great for all palm grips and it is comfortable to use. The cable is much improved and solves the issues people had with the G Pro cable. Both mice use the Mercury optical sensor, but it performs so well, that you can't even tell that it's not a PMW 3360. Considering the price tag, this is an amazing achievement on Logitech's part.Clicks are good, and DPI can be scaled up to 6000.
There is very little to complain about with these gaming mice. No other mice in this price range come close to the level of quality on hand here, as these are good enough to even be main gaming mice. The only negative I can think of, is that they are quite small, so if you have Paul Bunyan hands, you might engulf these mice. Other than that, I can only recommend these mice again and again.
Things to keep in mind when purchasing gaming mice
- Higher DPI doesn't mean it's a better mouse.
Don't be fooled by 16,000 DPI spotlights. Being able to scale up to 16,000 DPI does not make a mouse better than one that only scales up to 3200 DPI. In fact, most gamers don't use DPI above 1000.
- Understand what grip style you use and that not every mouse is for you
There are three grip styles: Palm, Claw, and Fingertip. Depending on which one you use, some gaming mice simply won't work out for you. And yes, that includes some top gaming mice options.
Luckily, there are so many great options to choose from, that this won't be a big deal at all. There are top of the line gaming mice for every grip style.
- Make sure to factor in hand size and weight preference when choosing a mouse
Similarly, to grip style, hand size is also an important factor to take into consideration when selecting your gaming mouse. If you hand is small, some mice will be too big for you to use and you will have issues reaching certain buttons. If your hands are big, then some mice will be far too small for you to use unless you channel your inner The Claw from Toy Story, and use an unnaturally elevated claw grip. Again, not an issue. There are plenty of options for everyone to choose from no matter the hand size.
Another thing to keep in mind, is the weight of your mouse. Generally, lighter is better for FPS games, but some people do prefer heavy mice. It's not easy finding strictly heavy mice so simply find mice that come with additional weights that you can add in.
Lighter is better for most, but a mouse might be too light, and if that ever happens, try adjusting your sensitivity.
- If you prefer key bindings to be to your mouse and not your keyboard, get a mouse with a lot of customizable buttons
Having your key binds keyed to your mouse can be the difference between winning a build fight and losing it. This is all personal preference, but if you're not much of a keyboard person, buy a mouse with a lot of customizable buttons for you to work with.
A favorite amongst pros and streamers, is the Logitech G502 Proteus Spectrum. It comes with 11 customizable buttons and 5 3.6-gram weights that you can add in.

In the early C19th Czech industry grew rapidly. The textile, sugar industry and iron industries all flourished. And this Industrial Revolution of course required a top quality railway system between Vienna and Prague which opened in 1845. The regions had achieved a leading level of industrialisation in central Europe and had a significant position within the Habsburg Empire. The growing industry resulted in an increase of Prague's Czech population as people migrated in from the countryside.
However in 1859 Austria was defeated in a war with France, and 7 years later the Austrians were defeated in a war with Prussia. Following these two shameful experiences, the Dual Monarchy was created in 1867 where Austria and Hungary became independent states with one monarch. However the Czechs were not granted autonomy, so nationalism and demands for independence grew. Meanwhile, industrialisation continued in Czechoslovakia, especially the coal mining, engineering and the textile industries which accelerated later in the century. The strong agricultural sector made more capital available and new banks were founded, primarily in Prague. A securities exchange was established in 1871 and a commodities exchange in 1887.
Though German was the official language, Czech language and culture survived through the years of Austrian occupation. As the Habsburgs eased their grip in the C19th, Prague and Brno became centres of the Czech national revival. The revival did not express itself in politics but in Czech-language literature and arts. And it continued as Czech institutions were established to celebrate Czech history and culture: National Theatre opened in 1868 and National Museum in 1890. The great Czech composers Bedřich Smetana (1824–84), Antonin Dvorak (1841-1904) and Leoš Janáček (1854–1928) rose to stardom.
At the turn of the century, Bohemia was still part of the Habsburg Empire but in 1914, the Czechs were reluctant to fight for the Austrians and Hungarians. They were even reluctant to fight the Russians, their fellow Slavs.
A Czech academic called Tomas Masaryk formed an organisation called the Czech National Committee. In Nov 1915 this Committee called for an independent Bohemia and Slovakia. In June 1918, the Committee was recognised as the provisional government of Czechoslovakia by France, then by Britain, USA and Italy. The Austria-Hungary was collapsing.
For Czechs, at least the tragedy of WWI had one great outcome: the defeat of the Central powers, Germany and Austria-Hungary, left the Habsburg empire too weak to fight for its former lands. This paved the way for the creation of independent Czechoslovakia in 28th Oct 1918. Tomas Masaryk was the first prime minister, and in 1935 Edvard Beneš took over.
The new republic linked ethnic Czechs (Bohemians and Moravians) with their eastern linguistic family, the Slovaks. Czechoslovakia was the only industrialised state in eastern Europe. The only debatable inclusion were the 3 million German speakers in the Sudetenland who reluctantly joined the new republic. Nonetheless the new Czechoslovakia also proved to be the only successful democracy. In the two decades between independence and the Sept 1938 Munich Agreement, it was a flourishing state.
Thank you to PE Caquet for discussing the 1938-40 era. Note four sad episodes of appeasement:
A] In 1935 Mussolini invaded Abyssinia. The Italians used brutal tanks & aircraft against the Africans, but the French & British didn't want to push Mussolini towards Hitler.
B] In 1937, a German air-force squadron bombed the Spanish town of Guernica, massacring its defenceless civilians. France and Britain "believed" that the German troops were volunteers.
C] The German army marched into Austria and annexed it. This was the last straw! If Hitler thought he could do the same to Czechoslovakia, France and Britain warned, he would pay a great price.
But Chamberlain and French PM Edouard Daladier soon discovered that they didn't buy peace; they actually fed Nazi appetites! Hitler swore this was the end of his territorial ambitions, noting that he was leaving a rump Czech state. Only 6 months later, Hitler ordered his troops into Prague!
Britain and France believed it was worthwhile sacrificing Czechoslovakia in 1938, the better to face Germany militarily once the war started. Except that it wasn't. A third of the German tanks at the French front in May 1940 were built in Czechoslovakia. Germany desperate shortages had been relieved via the Czech annexation. Had the Munich Agreement not stalled it, WW2 in Europe would have begun in 1938. With arguments supporting appeasement, Chamberlain and Daladier bought time and avoided embroiling countries in a conflict for which they weren't prepared. But the price for Czechs and others was huge. As my uncle documented here.
Thank you to the wonderful Czech blog Tres Bohemes for great photos.

Because? and who? change Sequence boot UEFI?
Gilberto Ferraz last edited by
Hi, I'm using fog to manage more than 100 machines in my company, the machines have different hardware.
I use Centos 7.0 and Fog 1.5.7, everything works fine, I just have a little problem.
I set up dnsmasq on the fog server by following this link https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/12796/installing-dnsmasq-on-your-fog-server
I configure the BIOS of my UEFI machines to boot to 1 option with ipxe (machines can handle fog tasks)
If you deploy, the machine starts up with the task and everything works fine.
The problem is that the boot sequence in the BIOS changes without me doing anything.
In order to manage all these machines I need that even after deploying an image of an Operating System, the machines will continue booting with IPV4 in 1 Option
I found someone with the same problem here on the forum https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/13775/boot-option-issue-pxe-booting/10 but the Dell CCTK tool doesn't work with me because I don't have dell machines.
I don't know if it's FOG that changes UEFI's sequence boot, or if it's really Windows 10
Thanks for the help you can give me

Try this running this PowerShell script as a snapin. What it does is moves the first non-windows boot selection to the top, in your case it will move "IP4 Intel Ethernet Connection I217-LM" to the top of the boot order.
Works for me…

PS Code example that looks close, but the OP claims it throws an error from the ITNinja site https://www.itninja.com/question/how-to-programmatically-reset-uefi-to-boot-to-ipv4-first-after-scripted-windows-install-sets-windows-as-first-boot
# Create text file containing firmware settings bcdedit /enum firmware > firmware.txt # Find the line containing "IPV4", and read the line just before that $FullLine = (( Get-Content .\firmware.txt | Select-String "IPV4" -Context 1 ).context.precontext)[0] # Delete our temporary file del firmware.txt # Split line into fields using the first left-curly as the delimiter, # and then grab the second field (and restore the first left-curly) $GUID = '{' + $FullLine.split('{')[1] # Set the boot order bcdedit /set {fwbootmgr} displayorder $GUID {bootmgr}
At least it appears possible to do from within windows.

@george1421 hello thanks for the help. yes already realized that it is the win10 operating system that changes the boot to "Windows boot management" but do you know any script to run in win 10 to put ipv4 back in the 1 option? I already followed some solutions from here. but I can't come up with a solution without having to go to each of the machines.

Just be aware with uefi machines, windows has the ability (and will) change the boot order to make windows boot manager first in the list. This is a Microsoft thing and not something that FOG is doing.
How can you tell? Right after imaging but before windows OOBE start, go into the firmware and look at the boot order. If FOG was doing it, right then it should be pointing to the windows boot manager. But since FOG is not doing this (AFAIK) it still should be pxe boot. But then look at it after windows OOBE runs, my bet it will be windows boot manager, thank you microsoft. So why doesn't this happen for bios computers? Because bios doesn't have the ability for the operating systems to change the boot order.

And speaking of sail-less ships and teaching wannabe Arabs how to use an Arabic or a Syriac dictionary
Reader comment on item: Ankara at War
Submitted by dhimmi no more (United States), Nov 16, 2012 at 11:11
You know our dear Amin who has no shame it is really stupid to use an English language dictionary to tell us what an Arabic word means right? It is also stupid to tell us what is and is not a Syriac word right? And it is really stupid to tell us that the word istilam means paper receipt when it is not right? It is really stupid when you tell us that you earned not one but three degrees an 'ancient" Arabic then you seem to be unaware of the fact that the word receipt means isal or wasl and to not know that the word bastard in Arabic means ibn harram
Now this time it is even worse: So you me ask you a question: Is the Qranic word Bism one or two words? Hint: It is one word
What does it mean? Hint: To find the meaning in a dictionary you look for the root
So what is the root of the word? Hint: you look for the SM (the very old semitic root for name and we are not looking for the word sem or poison) and not ISM and even HW directs you to where to look so for wannabe arabs like you if you look under Ism you will find on page 17B that it tells you: SEE SM. et voila you will not find it in HW under the A's but under the S's so with your poor education because you will not find it under the A's this means that there is no such word right? But it exists and you will find it on page 427A UNDER the S's and not under the A's right? And you know why is the root here not ISM any guesses? Hint: Because the Arabs use the real semitic root here
How about the letter B in both Arabic or Syriac if it is before such root SM? Hint: it would mean IN (the)....of and for this see page 38A in HW
Now are the words B'ism (Arabic for in the name of) and Bishm (in Syriac for in the name of) one or two words? You tell me! Hint: One word. And where would you find the word Bism in HW you tell me?
Now go and tell one of your Arab masters is the word Bism is two words and they will laugh at you
Why the delusions you tell me

I was in search of an easy, yet tasty DIY hot cocoa mix that I can serve at my daughter's birthday party (we are having a hot cocoa bar). It is easy to make and turned out quite well. I did substitute the plain non dairy creamer for vanilla creamer which gave it some extra flavor.

This takes a lot of ingredients and to me really doesn't taste like anything special. But I made as small presents this year and gave them away with the "Chocolate Hazelnut Spoons" everyone loved it and thought it was a cute idea.
Dec 23, 2012
This is the best cocoa recipe I have ever had. I bought my ingredients at Aldi. I didn't use the marshmallow or chocolate chips, I thought that would make it too sweet. The first cup I made I used the 2% milk. It was too rich for my taste, so I tried using the 3/4 cup water and the taste was much better. I made up batches to give to my Grandchildren at Christmas. After they use theirs, perhaps I can write there comments.
Dec 15, 2012
Bought all the ingredients and made this yesterday. The after taste was so awful we dumped everything. I would love to know the brand names others are using as I tried a few things to "fix" it and nothing worked. When kids won't even try chocolate again, there is an issue. I'll go back to Swiss Miss packs.

Very good - the grandkids loved it. I will serve this for the Christmas get together.

Nothing else has changed, other than I'm busy writing cover letters, ordering transcripts, and making several versions of my resume.
I recently emailed a woman who I've worked with a little when i was still at WIPP. She owns her own engineering company in Hobbs, and I've admired her since I first met her. It took a couple of trys before I finally sent it, but the letter briefly explained my predicament, and asked for her advice about staring my own business.
She responded briefly to let me know she wants to get together with me and talk, but she made one statement in her email that sort of made my day. You know its one thing when your family and friends say nice things about you, but i guess it really makes you stop and think when someone you don't really have a relationship with but maybe admire, makes a compliment. Here is her brief statement that made my day. "Please know that many people at WIPP had great respect for you. We all felt that you were stymied there."
Finally. The pool in Carlsbad opened two weeks ago. I've had to shuffle a little with my schedule, but I'm back in the water at least two times a week again in the morning. Yeah!

Diablo III may soon be getting a new playable character class, if an allegedly leaked piece of Necromancer concept art is any indication.
The art (via Eurogamer) was reportedly spotted on Blizzard's official gear store, the same place Overwatch art for Sombra was discovered earlier today.
The image was pulled before we could verify it for ourselves, so take this leak with a grain of salt while we await official word from Blizzard. It's also important to note there's no specific indication that the art, which bears the signature of Blizzard art director John Mueller, is related to Diablo.
That said, the original picture's URL reportedly said "Necromancer," a class that was playable in Diablo II but wasn't included in Diablo III, with the Witch Doctor taking its place. This year also marks the 20th anniversary of the franchise, and with BlizzCon kicking off later this week, the studio may be gearing up for a big announcement.
While there's been rumblings that a fourth Diablo game may be horizon, Necromancers could very well be added to the still-relevant Diablo III in a new expansion. Either way, be sure to stay tuned to IGN later this week for all the big news coming out of BlizzCon 2016.

Raekwon and Ghostface To Announce "Only Built 4 Cuban Linx" Documentary
We revealed a few days ago that Rae and Ghost would have a major announcement at this year's Sundance Film Festival.
Later tonight, in Salt Lake City, UT, the duo will reveal that they will release a documentary on the 20th Anniversary of the seminal album Only Built 4 Cuban Linx. While the opus is regarded as a solo album for Raekwon, the documentary is a decidedly joint effort with Ghostface Killah.
The "Purple Carpet" screening will offer some form of preview, even though most of the details are shrouded in mystery.
Only Built 4 Cuban Linx is widely regarded as one of the greatest Hip-Hop albums ever recorded.
Both, Rae and Ghost will be present so AHH will give you details as they emerge.

|Harvesting Energy from Piezoelectrics Excited by Helmholtz Resonance: A Feasibility Study
|Graff, Lindsay Kalla
McCourt, Zachary Burton
|Smits, Alexander
|Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering
|Class Year:
|This project investigated the feasibility of converting wind energy to electrical energy using a Helmholtz resonator coupled with a matching frequency piezoelectric membrane. To explore the viability of such a system, different resonator geometries, orientations, and airflow speeds were analyzed to determine a configuration that produced an optimal scenario for energy production. This was accomplished by placing the designed device in a wind tunnel in a chosen configuration, and using the data to calculate the frequency and sound intensity of each system. On the electrical energy generation side, software programs Creo Parametric and ANSYS Mechanical were used to model a Channel 5804 lead zirconate titanate (PZT) piezoelectric membrane and simulate its frequency and voltage output due to a given oscillating sound pressure field. The experiments showed that the resonator produced higher sound intensities specifically at an orientation angle of 50 degrees to the flow and generally for lower cavity volumes, and that the effect of wind speed depended on the geometry. The optimal configuration for energy production was 3.0 L in resonator volume, a 50 degree orientation angle, and 10.2 m/s wind speed, which resulted in a maximum pressure of 46.9 Pa, an RMS pressure of 31.25 Pa, and a sound intensity of 2.37 W/m2. However, at a wind speed of 6.5 m/s, power density data suggests that the power output of a resonator array is comparable to that of a turbine wind farm. In this case, the system yielded a power density of a 2.14 W/m2, which compares to that of a wind farm at 2.59 W/m2. By simulating a transient pressure analysis to determine the effect of an oscillating pressure field on a matching-frequency piezo-electric membrane (85 Hz), ANSYS Mechanical rendered a best-case average voltage output of approximately 9.5 V.

DETROIT – Greg Johnson, who played for the Detroit Red Wings in the early-to-mid 1990s, has died at age 48.
Johnson was drafted in 1989 by the Philadelphia Flyers at 33rd overall. He was a standout at the University of North Dakota in the early 90s and played for the Canadian National team, winning a silver medal at the Lillehammer 1994 Winter Olympics.
He began playing for the Red Wings in 1993. His best season with Detroit, statistically speaking, was in 1995-96 when he tallied 18 goals and 22 assists for 40 points in 60 games. Johnson played an important depth role on those Red Wings teams until he was traded in 1997, right before the Wings won the Stanley Cup for the first time in 42 years. He was traded at the deadline to Pittsburgh for Tomas Sandstrom, who ended up signing with the Mighty Ducks in the offseason.
Johnson went from the Penguins to a stint with the Chicago Blackhawks, and then spent the last seven years of his career with the Nashville Predators, who named him team captain. You may recall he signed with Detroit again in 2006 but retired before the 2006-07 season when a pre-season physical showed a hereditary heart abnormality, forcing him into an early retirement.
'Best years' in Nashville
Johnson later called his time in Nashville the "best years of my life" in an interview with the Nashville Post.
"I was an average player — I was never anything special — but the best years of my life were here with the Predators," he told the Nashville Post. "To have a young family [at the time], amazing city, these were without a doubt the best years of my life. … In my heart, I'm a Predator and a big Predators fan."
He was definitely much more than an "average player." He was a well-respected professional who had a steady NHL career and people who looked up to him. In 785 career games, Johnson scored 369 points (145 assists, 224 points).
His younger brother, Ryan, played 15 seasons in the NHL and is now an executive with the Vancouver Canucks.
A cause of death is not being released at this time. Johnson was from Thunder Bay, Ontario. The local newspaper there reported Johnson died Monday in Detroit.
"Former National Hockey League player and Thunder Bay native Greg Johnson, 48, passed away on Monday in Detroit, according to friends close to the family," reads a statement from the Chronicle Journal.
He had been living with family in Rochester, Mich. and reportedly working in finance.
The University of North Dakota's men's hockey team tweeted:
Greg is UND's all-time leading scorer and was a long-time NHLer. Our heart-felt sympathies are with his family and loved ones. He will be greatly missed. https://t.co/6kllkuUXBr pic.twitter.com/sr4jm0s14g— North Dakota MHockey (@UNDmhockey) July 9, 2019

The UK's Recruitment and Employment Confederation (REC) has found that the demand for .Net, Java and C# developers in on the rise in the UK job market.
According to the report, which will be published today, the rise in the job vacancies for developers has come at the expense of demand for business analysts and project planners.
Overall, the REC found that job vacancies in the IT industry are significantly lower than the level they were at before the economic crisis hit.
REC Technology chairman Jeff Brooks said that the reason behind low job vacancies was that businesses are waiting for the coalition government to announce its comprehensive spending review on 20 October.
He also pointed out that demand for developers was on the rise because there jobs were easily transferable from the public sector to the private sector, whereas those with only project management skills in the public sector found it hard to get a job in the private sector.
