It doesn't seem like it, does it? With celebrity marriages lasting months now (rather than the short number of years we used to expect) and the divorce rate in the church not being much better than the world's, one would think this is an institution to be avoided at all cost. I mean who signs up to fail?
If you haven't checked out this video of Ian and Larissa yet, I'd encourage you to. While it may not represent the norm, it certainly gives us something to aspire to…an example of the beauty and the mystery of marriage…a picture of selflessness…and a story that illustrates the things that matter most about marriage and relationships in general.
My wife and I celebrated our 25th anniversary this year and I've gotta say that it just keeps getting better. We are SO looking forward to the next 25. Things haven't always been perfect but they've always made us better and stronger. We decided a long time ago to stay together no matter what and to work through any difficulties or even tragedies…together. When we made that decision it was pollyanna at her best. We had no idea how many curveballs life could throw or just how much it could sometimes hurt…or how much we could hurt each other. Financial calamities, unsought career changes, the loss of children, dangerous health concerns, heck, even deportation by foreign governments. Life is a roller coaster…full of peaks and valleys. In the end though, there is nothing sweeter and no moment more restful to my soul than walking that path with my soulmate, holding hands, snuggling together, and smiling at each other. I see that same joy and peace in Ian and Larissa against even more stark circumstances.
Yep, marriage is beautiful…and mysterious. Ian and Larissa reminded me of that today. May the Lord continue to bless their marriage…and ours.

My Guest Blog for an online magazine...

Once apon a time, I sent off 3 chapters of my first novel to a large publishing house AND promptly received a most stinking reply. So my journey began... my quest to become a published writer... So read this journey via my Blog, but note; the diary spelling's dodgy, grammar rather suspect and I often jump from present tense to past tense. Disgraceful behaviour for a wannabee writer? Probably. But isnt it great not to obsess about such things JUST ONCE...?

It's the one with all 236 episodes! Friends fans can get their fill of gorgeously high-def breaks, routines, unagi and Miss Chanandler Bong this month when The Complete Series hits Blu-ray on November 13. Featuring the entire 10-season run completely remastered on 21 discs and a 32-page episode guide, the massive collection is must-have for anyone worth their Smelly Cat.
So if you need a (Central) perk today, here is a sneak peak at "More Than Just Friends," a rundown of the show's more romantic moments contained among the 20 hours of extras (including over three hours of new material).
What do you think? Is the $279.98 sticker price worth being reunited with your old Friends?

Another question:I just killed the Curator on my return to Midgar. The chest behind it contained "Nothing!"Did I do something wrong? Or is that normal?
Other than entering the diorama room outside of the stated normal visiting hours, you didn't do anything wrong.
So if I enter/beat the Curator between its stated hours, there will be something in the chest?
Sega - got a question for you on end game as I'm wondering if my mod is working correctly.Spoiler: showFinal fights against jenova / sephiroth just seem way too easy. Is there supposed to be a jenova alongside Sephiroth at the very end 1:1? I'm only seeing Sephiroth.
Ok I feel so stupid. I am now in disc 3 but I only just noticed that sources only give me +1 stat! No wonder enemies keep one-shotting me and I deal pitiful damage (I thought that was just the difficulty being unfair). I've read the other replies to this post about the "bug" and I read something about using a certain .exe. I am using 7H btw. Where do you find this .exe and how do you apply it? Also, will the fix be retroactive and apply my stat gains or do I have to farm sp all over again?
7H doesn't apply .exe changes on its own, so I had to package the exe files separately (7H does something similar, it installs a lot of .exes to cover current mods). The fix won't retroactively fix your characters I'm afraid, so your best bet would be to open your save file using black chocobo tool (make a backup first) and then multiplying the value in each character's Sources stat by 5.Here's an example: https://imgur.com/a/bClCjIAThe highlighted area is the addition being made to the stat by sources. If you multiply that value by 5, then it'll match what you should have had stat-wise with the .exe patched.I think given the trouble that an unpatched .exe can cause, I'm going to add some kind of check to the game itself that can figure out if the .exe isn't patched or not. Then it'll be able to either warn the player, or adjust its behaviour.
Thanks for the speedy reply. I usually avoid save editors because if I open one, I'll be tempted to just give my team OP stats and items instead of just playing the game and working hard for it, which is the fun part for me. However, I will make an exception for this one. Another question this time regarding the NT Technician on the Highwind, when resetting rank ups to 1/8, does all the accumulated stats reset back to base value or does it just retain your stats and let you continue off it? I'm asking because I'd like to "respec" some characters.Also I don't know if this is a bug or not, but equipping 4/5 summons with +25 str (Bahamut, Kjata, etc) turns my MP into 30000 and consequently, equipping 4/5 summons with +25 mag turns my HP into the same amount. I'm quite sure this isn't intended. In 7H, I don't think I've installed incompatible mods to NT but I did check "Break 9999 Limit" in the The Reunion Beacause and Menu Overhaul mod (I didn't activate Beacause, only the Menu Overhaul). Does that trigger it?
Hey Sega, starting a playthrough again after a few months, and I don't know if it was changed and I didn't see it in the notes, but the fort condor teleport NPC isn't showing up hardly at all. I just did the 5th FC battle and he only showed up for 2 and 3 in Junon, then I backtracked for the 5th and found the NPC still in Junon. For the 6th he was not in Cosmo Canyon, or Junon so I had to fully backtrack. Also, I don't think I ever got the answer, but how much stat points do Barrets innate stacks give per stack?Edit: *Sigh* Ok well I completely forgot about the NPC popping out of the sealed door, too bad it was after I already backtracked hehe. Remembering when battles become available in vanilla is causing me grief it seems, however the issue with the 4th battle NPC being in junon when the team is near gold saucer still stands.
So the NPC has many spawns, and when he spawns at one, he spawns at ALL of them? I have misunderstood if that's the case, I was under the impression he spawned in the one point where you were at the time. I also believe I've misunderstood the FC battles for many years, I thought there was much less time in between when one becomes available and when it skips one. Thanks for the info. Anything about barrets innate? Always wondered about the numbers there. Also I haven't seen the Precious Watch from the chocobo square yet, i seem to recall betting on races to get them in a previous playthrough, have they moved? Or maybe can't get them on disc 1? Is the powersoul in arrange yet?
Awesome, thanks a bunch for the help. Edit: Is that for sure where the watch is? I have bet on over 50 S rank races now and I have yet to even see the watch as a prize. Also the demons gate (Devil's gate rather as it refers to in where is the thing) says it has a morph to get the amulet. Is that true on arrange as well, and if so, is it obtainable elsewhere?
Alright thanks. I just got to the sunken gelnika and I found the triple materia growth weapons for several characters, except red XIII, cait sith, and vincent. Am i missing them, are they in a different place, or do they not have one?Edit: Forgot about the Seraph Comb for Red, but cait sith and vincent still appear to not have one.
Hi , I'm still on my first playthrough with this mod and I didn't find the 4x-cut materia where it should've been in the gelnika, there was instead another item. Is there any other place where I can find it? Or is there any mob that drop it?
Is there any other way to acquire it? Because I always get different items then the ones I'm supposed to looking at the walkthrough videos of the mod. Maybe a drop from some mob?
Hello everyone. Newbie on here.I've recently played this mod and I've got to say I enjoyed it from beginning to end, so congrats for your work Sega Chief. I am a seasoned player of FF7 myself and there were a couple of times when I died because I didn't set up properly. I'd like to share some of my views on the mod if you don't mind.Somehow, this new rebalance of materia increasing/reducing stats felt a bit odd, especially during the first half of the game. I was not interested in equipping various materias just because they would reduce a character's stat to 0. It wasn't much of a problem later on, though, since you had more options to compensate. I love the idea of not having to grind in game, but I was leveling up too fast for my liking. I was receiving a bunch of exp from bosses already so I ran from most encounters unless I wanted to morph a certain solo enemy, but these awarded a ton of exp as well. This led me to end up with lvl 1 limits for most characters on disc 3 (which I'm not too worried about) even though I tried switching them from time to time. I'm aware that you reduced the requirements to get new ones but since exp plus is obtained rather early, it could be a good idea to reduce exp gained in battles a little. Also, I know it has to be difficult to make the game more balanced and I understand why you modified certain wepon/armor/accessories to try to make the game challenging. But just like with materia, after trying some I felt reluctant to use certain ones. For instance, ribbons are almost useless now (imo) because you would want to be able to cast barrier/mbarrier/shield in those few fights that truly require overall stat protection and you'd be better off using added effects and other accessories. Plus, it seems that some enemies override their effect (and the same goes for resist), though not sure that is intentional (which would make them pointless) or if it's some kind of bug. Or sprint shoes, which won't grant you haste anymore after a character is reanimated. Finally, there could be a blatant message to emphasise the importance of destruct materia. Just a suggestion, as I've seen some people do not realise that dispel is your best friend here and they start cursing the mod and criticising it. As a side note, I noticed that Cait Sith triple weapon is actually wrongly adjusted. The slot type is fine, but the growth says 'nothing' (and I checked you don't gain AP). Also, is vincent's triple weapon missing? Or am I just to blind that I cannot find it in the Genilka? Anyway, I'm thinking about starting another playthrough when I have time, but on Arranged mode this time. Is there much of a difference apart from changes in enemies AI? And will the spreadsheets still be useful or have items changed completely? There isn't much info about it on the documents. Sorry for the lengthy post, and congrats again for this great mod!
The materia bonus/penalties were altered recently to have more of an impact, but there's likely fine-tuning needed to be made.
EXP was an issue in the original builds of the game, so I built in some 'soft-caps' to every 10 levels (11, 21, 31, 41, etc.) to try and help with that, increasing the EXP given by enemies in later areas at an exponential rate to boost players through the caps; it sort of works, but not for everyone. A potential alternate solution is maybe setting it so that enemies give reduced EXP once the player party is higher level than them.
As for Destruct, I think it starts equipped on Red XIII. If Sample HO512 made use of some grand ability that gives statuses like Peerless or Shield, then some text claiming Destruct/Debarrier will work against it, then that might keep it in player's minds as something that can turn a fight around for the future. I've seen a lot of runs where Destruct is usually shelved and forgotten about.

Plucked clean: Four Feathers mostly fluff
As a product of the U.S. educational system, I'm as ignorant about history as President Bush, but with less severe repercussions in my case. Reported historical inaccuracies in the 2002 version of The Four Feathers don't concern me. I was just looking for a ripping yarn.
Unfortunately, this yarn unravels more than it rips. In a nod to liberals who may have wandered into the wrong theater, the protagonist spends about a minute questioning the need for war– and perhaps colonialism– and the next two hours in the thick of it.
The "message" speech says in effect that men don't fight wars for patriotic or economic reasons, but for the comrades at their side. To me that seems less a justification than a reason none of them should be there in the first place.
The drama boils down to a Pearl Harbor-like triangle about best friends in love with the same woman, who switches affections when her first choice appears to be out of the picture. It's set in an earlier period than Pearl Harbor, but has more parallels to our own time.
Heath Ledger stars as Harry Feversham, who was raised in a military family in 19th-century England and tries to go along with the program until he learns his regiment is being sent off to the Sudan as replacements for the men who have been wiped out by "an army of Mohammedan fanatics." The other dodos leap at the chance to be cannon fodder, but Harry resigns his commission and bows out.
His action is seen as cowardice by all but his best friend, Jack Durrance (Wes Bentley). Their three other buddies send Harry white feathers to symbolize a yellow streak. When he receives a fourth feather from his fiancée, Ethne (Kate Hudson), Harry starts believing it himself and seeking a way to "redeem myself (and) face up to my fears."
In a journey that must be as grueling for him to make as it is for us to watch, Harry goes to the Sudan alone and makes his way across the desert by posing as an Arab. Abou Fatma (Djimon Hounsou of Amistad) appoints himself Harry's protector. Eventually Harry finds himself in the curious position of riding with the Sudanese against the British troops he's trying to help.
A lot of other things happen on the way to a fear-gone conclusion as Harry supposedly proves himself courageous while the British Empire strikes out. There aren't a lot of specifics about time and place (in case you were planning to see The Four Feathers to bone up for an exam). The passage of time is marked primarily by the growth of Harry's hair and beard.
The Four Feathers was directed by Shekhar Kapur. Like his Elizabeth, it's marred by strangely dark (considering the desert sun) photography and a failure to distinguish the male supporting characters from each other sufficiently.
Aside from the relative dimness, Robert Richardson has done a beautiful job on the cinematography, a good thing because this is a very visual film. There's little dialogue, and most of what's there is unnecessary, except to show that the English like to talk. The three main English characters are played by an Australian and two Americans whose accents are as flawless as their speeches are emotionless.
As another English-speaking country prepares for another war, The Four Feathers raises some important questions, but it treats them perfunctorily and comes to the wrong answers.

Fresh Spring Looks
Sunny days, birds chirping, aromatic florals ― these are all things to look forward to in spring, but there's always something else that excites me even more. Spring is undoubtedly one of my personal favorite seasons for fashion!
Between all the fun florals and pastel colors, it's a breath of fresh air as we leave behind the cold and rainy winter months! I've gathered some of my favorite spring looks, all of which can be altered to your climate so you can look fresh for this season!
Not gonna lie, this look definitely gave me early 90s vibes but I wasn't mad about it! This pastel yellow tee with a fun floral design is going to be one of my go-to tops this spring season. How much more spring can you get than yellow and flowers?
This top is one of my favorite floral tops because of all its cute details! The polka dots and frills are great touches that just make this top so flowy and perfect for spring! I also threw on a cardigan because sometimes spring weather isn't quite warm yet and a little extra warmth can be needed!
This pair of floral flowy shorts is a personal necessity in the spring! They are super easy to throw on and always make a feminine put-together outfit! I simply paired them with a white tee and a jean jacket for some warmth and to balance the ultra-girly vibes.
This last look is so clean and fresh that I had no choice but to include it! I styled a simple pinstripe men's shirt by tying it and pairing it with some classic mom jeans. With its sophistication and clean lines, this top screams spring! Lastly, I polished off the look with some black Chelsea boots.
I hope you found some outfit inspiration for the upcoming spring season! Head to your local Plato's Closet to find the unique spring styles you're looking for! Remember that spring is a time to try new things and have a new start, whether that be in your wardrobe or just life in general!

I have been running Linux17 and 18 for 5 or 6 months using BIBM. I have multiple OS's installed (they are all primary partitions as I have not limited primary partitions) but all are hidden in the Linux boot menu within BIBM. All of sudden, after running into a hiccup I had to reinstall Linux 18 and the GRUB menu popped up. It was never there before. I have tried everything I can find on Google to hide this darn thing with no avail.
Is there something in BIBM that will not let me hide the GRUB menu?
Any other tricks the Linux community doesn't know about that won't let me hide it?

The time now, here in Singapore, is 0400. Probably the worst time to be selecting and editing pictures of The Undead.
It's nowhere near Halloween and definitely a long time since last year's, but I just HAD TO blog about it because if I delay any further, I'd have to blog Halloween 2012 and 2013 together. BAHAHA!
I was a zombie geisha in 2011 and wanted something similar but different in 2012. Similar in the way that I'll still be a zombie, but in a different costume and with better makeup techniques (we improve all the time, don't we all? :D).
I wanted to name this post 'Halloween Zombie Nurse Costume And Tutorial' but after selecting and editing (OMGGGG X_X") the sheer amount of photos, I had to split it into two posts, just like what I did for the geisha makeup tutorial last year. So hooray for another post!
My friends and I entertained the thought of going to Universal Studios for Halloween but the ticket was wayyyyy out of budget and most importantly, they had a clause stating that 'no halloween makeup or costume allowed'.
Like, WHAT THE?
The best part about Halloween is getting to dress up outrageously – sexy, cute, awkward, scary, funny – so taking the creative quotient out of the Halloween equation made it a real dampener.
The geisha year was at Sentosa, it was fun but not enough to make me want to go back for the same thing so I wasn't for the idea of Sentosa again. However the trailer and website looked extremely promising and with tickets priced more reasonably, it was Sentosa again! Glad we made that decision coz it was so much better than the year before!
The location played a big part in our decision – Fort Siloso.
Fort Siloso was built in the early 1880s as coastal artillery to defend the land against sea invasion from the south and the guns were used to defend against land invasion during the Japanese Occupation. With the fall of Singapore, it was converted into prisoner-of-war camp.
Omg, just mentioning the name brings a tingle down my spine. It's the place where blood was shed, lives were lost, bodies and minds were tortured and ghosts roam+roamed. Eeeks!!!
Makeup makes me feel confident, no matter the type. Without Halloween costume and makeup, I'm just a I'm-afraid-of-everything-that-moves timid little mouse. Forbidding me my confidence boosters would totally handicap me. I'll tell you why in a while.
Here's Min and me. We took a cab from my house (I did her makeup too) and the uncle didn't know at first that we had makeup on. It was not until we chatted about where we were going that he turned around at a traffic light to look at us. "AIYER!!! You all look so scary!!" LOL.
That would be the last happy shot of Min before we started the night proper.
You know you've hit jackpot with the makeup and costume when complete strangers come up to you, stand beside you and have their friend take a picture of you and the person. They thought I was the crew. BAHAHA! Great feeling I tell ya, coz people don't say 'thank you' to the crew and nobody thanked me. Don't know to be happy (that I did well) or sad that people don't give the crew enough appreciation for their hard work.
This is Min's boyfriend, our photographer for most part of the night. Look at how she stares at him with so much adoration… not! HAHAHA!!
See the details on the back of my hand? 😀
This shot would mark the start of Min's creative facial expressions for the night. Really very funny!!! XD
Best friends aren't really best friends until you allow the other person to dig through your flesh. Yum Yum. Give… me…. brains…..
BFF did a really good job for his first attempt, I must say! He just watched YouTube videos and experimented. I added some contouring and blood for him.
OMG, I'm so proud of this poster! I played around with color balance and other effects on PS to give off this eerie vibe. That face peeking out with that pervertic expression is so…… Oh, I don't know. Interpret it yourself!
The name of my movie is 'Hospital'. Cannot get any more blatant than this. Lol! It's so funny that hospitals in horror shows always have green lighting and there are zero staff walking around.
The above picture freaked me out so much when I was editing it I just exclaimed "WHAT THE F*CK!!". Super scary okie, to see something unexpected in the wee hours of the morning. It was a very dark picture and all I could see was a shadowed character in the foreground. After I edited it I suddenly saw her, bright as day, and the woman behind and the skeleton.
My Honey opening a dim sum basket.
I hope they swop! It must be terrible sitting inside! So hot and cramp!
Just look at Min's mouth. Creeeepppyyyyy…..
Setup – cannon, tombstone, crosses, skeleton, cobwebs, incense paper…
This was Min's classic look for the night – roll eyes to reveal only the whites. NOT EASY!!!
LOL!!!! It's so hard! I couldn't do it at all. My eyeballs hurt from being subjected to that much rotation. It's a talent, I tell you,to be able to rotate your eyeballs to reveal the white only. Min is talented.
Mad scientist found fellow mad scientist! It's really easy to put this look together. Just borrow a lab coat and you're done. See! BFF attempted the rotate-eyeball look but couldn't do it too.
If you cannot be kamikaze, the next best way to die is to have a loved one kill you… with a plastic bow and rubber arrow. I love it man, right smack in my head shot wound.
I looked completely normal from the back, maybe a little sexy. TEEHEEHEE. Queuing at our very first station.
This was the best station, I think! It was Thai-themed and came complete with Muay Thai boxers (with zombie makeup, eeks!) jumping around in the ring and ringing the bell when you walk past to scare you; a Thai disco with erm, obese transvestites grinding our male friends along to thumping music and making us laugh like crazy; a Thai monk and many other scares that I didn't really see coz I walked with my eyes closed or opened in a slit most of the time.
Told you I'm a scaredy cat!!!
The night wouldn't have been half as fun if it weren't for Min. Min kept our friends laughing coz she was just so good with expressions.
My hair, in that terrible condition, was before Salon Vim became my hair sponsor. Back then it was dry and frizzy and stupid. It was great only for that Halloween night though, coz it looked as though I'd gotten blood stains on my hair from chewing chunks of flesh.
And zombies don't have time to set their hair, right? Too busy looking for brains.
Min!!! LOL!!!
Min!!! OMG LOL!!! *wipes tear
Using different effects.
Can you see how much Min's hand on my arm added a degree of real fear? This girl knows how to pose, really.
Hello, looking for me?
Min took a shot of me taking a shot of me. A blogger's gotta do what a blogger's gotta do. It was for Instagram!
Eh, are you following me? I'm really interesting, you know. HAHAHA (@bunbunmakeuptips)
Look at the soldier beside me. He was just one of the many guys that night who, upon figuring out that I'm in a nurse costume, immediately dropped their shoulders in an attempt to look weak and said in a weak voice "Nurse, nurse, I'm sick" or "Nurse, I want a jab…" or "Nurse can you take care of me?".
I'm sorry for being so sexy that night. BAHAHA!! (I'll tell you where I got my costume from in the next tutorial post.)
I hate Chinese costumes! They're the most scary! Watching too many Chinese zombie movies when I was young made me terribly afraid of them.
That was how BFF and I first got to know each other though. We had just waited a good 4 hours for our turn for the 'Fright Night' during our NUS Freshman Orientation Camp. 30 seconds into entering the corridor, I burst out crying.
Damn it. The first ghost was a Chinese zombie.
That was it. End game. I said I didn't want to continue and continued crying like a nutcase until I left the room. BFF continued the journey alone. HAHA! And you know what, despite my fear, I did the ghost makeup for my juniors for two years after that. No fear at all when it comes to makeup application.
That's why I said makeup and costume are my confidence boosters.
Okie! I'll leave you guys here with this last photo of Min finally smiling happily and humanly.
We had many more friends (about 10?) with us but they came as humans and were not interested in taking pictures. Here are my friends in their Red Indian couple suit! The people behind are also my friends, except for the ghost.
See you in the next post! My makeup's really not too difficult! And Min's makeup I think I took like 10 minutes. Best result ever.
What was your Halloween costume in 2012?
Oh by the way, I did an eye makeup tutorial for Asian hooded eyelids with Min as my model. Check it out! 🙂

The 2014 Cadillac CTS is going to have a problem once the Cadillac ATS hits the dealers. People who want the CTS will just go for the slightly smaller and less expensive ATS and buyers who need a larger car will go for the XTS.
Hence, the new slightly larger CTS was a way to fit right between those cars, but if it's almost XTS-sized how are they going to convince the buyers who haven't fled to the ATS to pick up an XTS?
While we don't know for sure that this is it, it sure looks like it could be. When it goes on sale, the new CTS will have two or four driven wheels and a choice of powerplants with a varying number of cylinders (we're giving you primo information here, people).
Do you think this is the new CTS? Take a look and let us know below in Kinja.

Chronicle was one of the sharpest movies about superpowers and teen angst we've seen in ages — so we're excited that its writer, Max Landis, is penning a new superhero show for Fox. In Vigilant, a young woman creates a fictional vigilante identity to take down corruption in the police department. (Shades of the most recent incarnation of Manhunter, perhaps?)
Here's how the Hollywood Reporter describes Vigilant:
The project is described as a "superhero" origin story told through the unlikely point of view of a smart 20-year-old woman who happens to be a social outcast. After an honorable veteran detective is brutally coerced into working for the corrupt head of Internal Affairs, the detective's daughter plans her revenge by creating a fictional vigilante persona to take on the criminal elements within the police department and the city.
It sounds pretty promising — let's hope it stays grounded, but also includes some awesome superhero gear. [THR]

Yesterday's results
Hanley Ramirez was the trendy pick among BTS titans Thursday. The dynamic shortstop's 1-for-4 night helped sustain jagzrule77's perch atop the leaderboard, as his streak reached 37 games.
Moving into a tie for second — also on the strength of Han-Ram — were cwahl and phadrus74, who pushed their runs of perfection to 35 in a row.
It wasn't good news all around, though, as thatsawinner didn't live up to his name for the first time in a long time, incorrectly selecting Albert Pujols to end a formidable 35-game streak.
Yesterday's Top 5 most selected players
1. Ichiro Suzuki (SEA): 12.6%, 0-for-0
2. Hanley Ramirez (FLA): 10.8%, 1-for-4
3. Albert Pujols (STL): 8.1%, 0-for-2
4. Ryan Braun (MIL): 5.8%, 1-for-5
5. Prince Fielder (MIL): 5.4%, 1-for-3

Huricane Danny looks to be moving north up the Atlantic Coast this weekend. Rains out? – Baltimore, NY, Boston
If you are still in the hunt for 57 and can't afford a washout, stay away from these games.
Saturday Aug 29
There are some pitchers who give up many hits. I'm looking at:
Torii Hunter v. Mazzaro (A's) – at Oakland, Hunter never faced Mazzaro but league is batting .319 against him.
His ERA in Aug is 5.68
Chase Utley v. Lowe(Braves) – Lowe struggling big time gives up alot of hits his Aug. ERA is 5.79 – At Philly
Utley is 7 – 20 v. Lowe
Michael Young v. Pavano (TWNS) – Pavano gives up alot of hits – Aug ERA 3.55- Young batting .337 in August. At Minn.
Young 3 – 5 v. Pavano
Guys – Who do you like?
I like Young vs Pavano. That's who I'm going with tomorrow.
For Sunday as of now I'm going with Orlando Cabrera vs. Millwood.
I went with Scott Podsednik of the White Sox today.
Danny was never a hurricane and is no longer a tropical storm. Most of the heavy rains stayed offshore or on Long Island.
Also, most of the rain NYC expected to get, is supposed to end by noon, so if the field is too messed up to play on, the rainout should occur before picks lock and I can always go back and change it.
Scott Podsednik of WSOX now plays part-time. Alex Rios is WSOX everyday CF. "Pods" could come off the bench and pinch hit. Watch the lineups before the game to see if he is in fact starting. He could be in the game as WSOX Carlos Quentin LF may not play in a day game following a night game(his bad foot).
I'm locked in on Michael Young of Twins.
Contreras of WSOX is hitable but his back is to the wall as this is his last start because Jake Peavy of WSOX should be ready to go soon. Contreras will be out to impress today.
It was my belief that Podsednik starts against righties and sits against lefties.
I had looked at Podsednik yesterday against Sabathia and saw "wow, I cannot pick him. Look at Sabathia's BAA."
Then, I noticed yesterday that Podsednik did not play yesterday, but had noticed that 9/10 games, he has gotten at least 4 AB.
I have noticed also that when Podsednik does not start, he also tends to not play.
I decided to go with Podsednik originally, because I had never seen Mitre throw a dominant outing, longer than like 5.2 IP, whereas Pavano has a few complete game shutouts this year.
But Michael Young would be my second pick.
How long is your streak up to now?
Additionally, I just checked his August stats.
This month, he has sat overall 4 days, but only had 1 day with just the 1 AB…all other days have been at least 3 AB…everything else but 1 has been at least 4 AB.
My streak is at 6 now. Longest streak this year is 14.
I hope Podsednik opens the game with a typical "Pods" sharp line drive single to left! Mitre is very hittable. He has bounced around alot and spent some time with Cubs a few seasons ago. I'm really shocked that he is with NYY.
Tempting to take Hanley Ramirez v. lefty with SD but I'm going to stay with Michael Young.
This is the kind of info that we need to keep passing among ourselves on the blog. Extra info helps make better decisions. The posts like: Wow! Figgins just singled in the first and my streak is still alive are off target as they do not help us play smarter.
lcfrancisco and hammanm who do you like today?
Sunday 8/30…………..
Alex Rodriguez looks good v. Freddy Garcia WSOX. Garcia is just back from DL and pitched in his first game of the season a few days ago and did pretty well. Rodriguez is on a hot streak batting .423 and is 5 – 9 v. Garcia lifetime.
Any other ideas for Sunday would be appreciated.
FYI – Podsednik does not play v. righties and sit v. lefties.
He lost his starting job to Carlos Quentin who came off the DL. Quentin is now the regular LF. WSOX now have Alex Rios in CF and Pods, who was doing great, is the odd man out – He spells Quentin and Rios on their off days.
Picked Hanley Ramirez today, endimg my 21 game hitting streak.
Best of luck to anyone still alive, and see you all next year.
Well there went my last chance to best the leader for the season.
My streak was only at 5 games, but with 37 days left of the season, I had an extreme outside chance of tying the leader if I could have collected 3 extra days of games at the end of the season.
This fact could have been accomplished through a rainout game being played on the Monday, with the result of that game leading to a 3-way tie for one playoff spot, forcing 2 additional playoff games.
Then, I would have just needed to hope that my player in the last game had more hits than Tanner had on his last day.
Even so, for all who lost streaks today, all is not lost.
There is still enough time to pick up a $50 gift certificate (35-game hitting streak with 36 guaranteed days left in the regular season) or a free MLB.TV Postseason subscription (30-game hitting streak with 36 guaranteed days left in the regular season.)
Finally, ohwow, do you have an e-mail address we can contact you on, during the offseason?
36 days left of the season:
148 players still guaranteed with a chance to reach 57
28 additional players need 1 day of tiebreakers
32 additional players need 2 days of tiebreakers
41 additional players need 3 days of tiebreakers
1425 players still guaranteed with a chance to tie 45.
42 PAGES of players with an outside chance of reaching 45, with 1, 2, or 3 days of tiebreakers at the end of the season.
I have noticed that as soon as it was impossible to reach 57, the participation in the contest has declined significantly, since earlier on in the season, you needed around an 11-14 game streak just to get onto the active leaderboard, whereas now, a 9-game streak gets you halfway up.
The "King" needs to come up with better prizes for the guys who have had big seasons! The person who has the longest streak of the year should get $50,000 providing the streak was at least 40 games. No one has ever hit 50 games, the prize for that should be $100,000. Offering $100 gift certificates/MLB Subscriptions to guys who had 35 plus streaks is pretty weak. How many burgers is the King selling each day? He can afford it!
Monday looks tough – any thoughts – I'm looking at Michael Young.
Well I do not think the 30 or 35-game prizes can really go any higher.
I mean right now there are 22 people with streaks of 35 or higher with another 12 people right now at 30 or higher.
The current prize for 35 is $50, which currently costs MLB $1,100, with a potential for $1,700 if all the players at 30 or higher, make it to 35.
While that sounds like no cost for MLB, if the prize were $2,000, the current cost would be $44,000 for that category alone, with a possible cost of $68,000 or more.
There are 109 people with streaks of 30 or higher with another 74 people right now at 25 or higher.
The current prize for 30 is a $20 MLB.TV subscription, which currently costs MLB $2,180, with a potential for $3,660 if all the players at 25 or higher, make it to 30.
While that sounds like no cost for MLB, if the prize were $1,000, the current cost would be $109,000 alone, with a possible cost of $183,000 or more.
There are only 4 people with streaks of 40 or higher with another 4 people right now at 35 or higher.
The current prize right now for 40 is still only $50, which means MLB suffers no additional cost for these 4-8 players.
While that is no cost for MLB, if the prize were $50,000, the current cost would be $200,000 alone, with a possible cost of $400,000 or more.
No one has reached 50 games ever, but if that prize was $100,000, there would need to be another consolation prize level for the overall winner that would need to be higher than $100,000. Perhaps $250,000?
I assume the grand prize next year will be $2 million???, since that would be a natural extension upwards from the $1 million to $1.5 million jump this year.
If we add up the anticipated cost of this new pricing structure compared to the old pricing structure, you get the following:
35 (New): $44,000—–$68,000
35 (Old): $1,100—–$1,700
30 (New): $109,000—–$183,000
30 (Old): $2,180—–$3,660
40 (New): $200,000—–$400,000
40 (Old): None
50 (New): $50,000 (assuming 1 person reaches 50 next year)
50 (Old): $100
Consolation Prize (New): $250,000
Consolation Prize (Old): $10,000
Grand Prize (New): $2,000,000 (Projected)
Grand Prize (Old): $1,500,000
Total Prize Money (New): $2,653,000—–$2,884,700
Total Prize Money (Old): $1,513,380—–$1,515,460
Difference (New-Old): $1,139,620—–$1,369,240
Now, the money is a little overinflated, because I did not take into account such things as the fact that everyone who wins the 35-game prize does NOT also win the 30-game prize.
But I have already spent a lot of time on this post, so I will not go back to correct it here, especially since I am making this post on numbers that can change.
The big problem here is that you probably only add $500,000 of actual cash to the prize money, but your expenses go between ~$600,000-$900,000.
Where does that money come from, if MLB is not willing to pump in the extra cash?
There really are only 2 possibilities: either charge a fee for entering the contest or decrease the value of either the Grand Prize or the consolation prize.
I doubt MLB would charge a fee, just simply because that would eliminate a lot of casual players who probably help boost up advertisement deals.
I also doubt MLB would decrease the consolation prize because it is so low to begin with, it would not actually be able to cover the deficit.
But I also do not think MLB would decrease the Grand Prize, because that would lower it all the way down to $1.1-$1.4 million.
MLB's marketing loves to brag about how the top prize increases each year as the "biggest fantasy sports prize in history," so I doubt they would let that number drop. Casual players will not understand why the prize is dropping and might think the contest is about to enter its final year, which will decrease the advertisement deals and money supply for this contest even further.
However, even if MLB is not willing to expand its budget beyond the annual Grand Prize expansion, I still have an idea of how to add in all these decently substantial moderate-level prizes: Use the money you have been saving from the last few years when no one won the top prize before.
I believe the top prize has been $1 million in 2007 and 2008 and $1.5 million this year. Assuming no one wins this year, you have $3.5 million. Taking 2009 numbers, you would have spent about $15,000 on consolation prizes per year, which still leaves you with $3.45 million of surplus money.
That would be enough money to pay for the next 3 years worth of prize increases and you would be picking up an extra $1.1 million – $1.4 million per year if no one continues to win the Grand Prize.
So you would at least have enough money to finance a fourth year with the new prize amounts. And by that point, the economy should have trended back to an upswing, in which case MLB should be turning enough of a profit, to be able to expand the Beat the Streak budget to cover these new prize levels.
What does everyone think of this logic???
Your logic is sound on the $. Giving multiple big prizes for long game streaks would be cost prohibitive.
Does Burger King pay a sponorship fee to MLB and take responsibility for the $1.5M prize?
If they do, I'm guessing that they pay an insurance premium with a big company (Lloyds of London?) to insure the $1.5M prize if anyone hits it.
Burger King is getting mega advertising hits on this game.
The other prizes are small and should not be a problem to absorb for MLB/Burger King.
There really has not been a big hit on this game so prizes have been manageable.
How about prizes for the top 3 streaks of the year?
1st prize – $10,000
2nd prize – $5,000
3rd prize – $1,000
Consolation prizes of $100 MLB gift cards for all those with streaks of 35+
Hopefully the powers to be (MLB and Burger King) are reading this and will act to appropriatley reward top players.
Rosters expand Tues. 9/1 and there will be rookie pitchers to add to the mix.
Monday 8/31……….
I'm going with Michael Young TX v. Brett Cecil of TOR. Cecil a lefty has ERA 7.11 in Aug and gives up a lot of hits with league hitting .300 against him. Young a righty should get a hit v. Cecil. Game is at TX.
Good luck to all!
Well actually I thought multiple big prizes would not work in the beginning of my post, but as I worked through the numbers, it seemed logical that MLB could use the extra money it had been saving by not giving out a grand prize yet, to spend on some pretty decent mid-level prizes:
30-game hit streaks: $1,000 (Assume 200; only 109 winners this year, but you need to round up, in case it is an above-normal year; 200 * $1,000 = $200,000)
35-game hit streaks: $2,500 (Assume 50 = $125,000)
40-game hit streaks: $5,000 (Assume 10 = $50,000)
45-game hit streaks: $10,000 (Assume 5 = $50,000)
50-game hit streaks: $25,000 (Assume 2 = $50,000)
Consolation Prize: Whichever prize level is highest that you reach
Grand Prize: $2,000,000
Or if you just want a slightly expanded mid-level pricing structure:
40-game hit streaks: $25,000 (Assume 10 = $250,000)
45-game hit streaks: $50,000 (Assume 5 = $250,000)
50-game hit streaks: $125,000 (Assume 2 = $250,000)
Even though that goes over my $500,000 cap, it is VERY generous to expect 17 streaks over 40 games, 5 over 45, and 2 over 50 games. It can be expected that one or more of those quotas will not be reached.
I think those 2 systems best add prize value in the mid-level structure, while still retaining the top prize, while only adding a relatively small amount of investment that can be syphoned off from the surplus built up from previous years.
If you want to make the mid-level targets more bullish or expand even further down to the 25-game level, you would need either more resources from MLB and/or the grand prize getting reduced.
And neither of those 2 things are that likely to happen.
Which of those 2 pricing scales would people prefer seeing implemented?
A few more things to add about the plans:
1) MLB could use a soft cap on the amount of prizes awarded per category at the beginning of the year; maybe use the numbers I gave in the assumption category.
That way if 200 people have 30-game hit streaks by mid-June, MLB is not stuck doling out 500 30-game hit streak prizes, but if the final count is 202 at the end of the year, MLB will award all of those who were successful.
If it does get abnormally high, MLB can just give awards to the first 200 players to accomplish the feat.
2) I do not have detailed yearly breakdowns for each category, but I do think the contest has gone on long enough that we have enough data to conclude that those caps are reliable enough to use.
For example, every year there has been no more than 5 or 6 40-game hit streaks and in the first year, no one hit 40.
It is extremely unlikely that there will randomly be 100 40-game hit streaks next year, unless Ichiro goes and breaks the record himself. So MLB should not be afraid to go out and offer $25,000 for something that is nearly 1/3 of the way back from the record.
Today I am going with Manny Ramirez at home vs. Doug Davis. Manny is hitting .600 against Davis since '04 and went 3 for 4 against him in Arizona a couple of weeks ago.
Tuesday 9/1…………….
No Monday update from the web guy?
Looking at:
Todd Helton 4 – 5 v. Pelfrey(R) NYM
Troy Tulowitziki
Pablo Sandoval
Any suggestions………?
I'm going with Jason Bartlett vs. John Lester. Also like Hanley Ramirez vs. Tim Hudson. Hudson is making his first start of the year and Ramirez is hitting over .300 against him in the last 5 years. Ramirez is also coming off 3 straight ofer games. He's due for a hit.
Bye Bye, jagzrule77 @41 & greeksmoke @ 37! Seriously, what were they thinking? Do people lose it when they get they high up? Sanchez is a tough pitcher to get a hit off. You have much better luck getting a walk off him though. I guess the curtain is falling down. Almost over!
Wednesday looks tough!
I'm looking at Troy Tulowiczki v. Redding NYY(R)
Helton just singled and my streak is now at 10 games. I'd like to beat my longest streak of the year of 14 games.
Hammanm and bts player who do you like for Wed?
Jeter v. Berken BALT(R) also looks good to me.
I'm going with Cano vs. Berken.
hammanm——You are the man!
Cano v. Berken looks solid.
Lefty v. Righty pitcher who has a big ERA and gives up a lot of hits.
Cano batting .370 over the past month
Cano had 3 hits at Balt on Tuesday.
A big tip of my Cub hat to you for this advice.
I'm locked in on Robinson Cano.
Good luck to all on Wed.
I know someone out there keeps tabs on Ichirio big time.
In the games that he has not gotten a hit, how many of these games have been against a lefty pitcher? He faces Scott Kazmir tomorrow. I hate lefty – lefty matchups – even though "The Little Magician" has a higher batting average v. lefties than righties. Kazmir could be energized now that he is with LAA. Did the LAA scouts see a mechanical flaw that they corrected in his delivery? I stay away from games that he pitches because I never know who is on the monund when he pitches – the good SK or the bad SK.

A Los Angeles man who pleaded guilty to illegally uploading nine Gun N' Roses songs onto his music site has dodged jail time.
Earlier this week a federal judge sentenced Kevin Cogill to a year's probation. He will also serve two month's confinement, have his computer activity monitored by the government, and record a public service announcement for the Recording Industry Association of America.
Prosecutors in the case had hoped to see the man thrown in the slammer for six months for leaking part of G N'R's latest album, Chinese Democracy, to the interwebs prior to its release last year.
Cogill was arrested last summer after posting tracks on 18 June from the album to the Antiquiet website. He saw the copyright violation charge against him reduced from a felony to a misdemeanour after he admitted to streaming the pre-release tunes. ®

THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. (AP) Based on history alone, the most comfortable part of Graeme McDowell's position is being at Sherwood Country Club.
Ever since he first showed up at the World Challenge in 2009 as a last-minute replacement for tournament host Tiger Woods, McDowell has broken par in every round he has played. Saturday was no exception. He rolled in two long birdie putts early in the third round and stretched his streak to 29 holes without a bogey when he walked off the 18th green with a 4-under 68.
As for his two-shot lead? That's not always his best spot from which to win.
McDowell's last three wins started with at least a three-shot deficit. He has never won when he had the outright lead, although he started out tied for the lead four times.
``I'm not sure how many times I've won from the front,'' McDowell said. ``Hopefully, I'll add one tomorrow.''
All he knows is that it doesn't figure to be easy to pick up his first win in two years.
Keegan Bradley had to cope with more fallout on the proposed ban of the belly putting stroke when he said one man in the gallery called him a ``cheater.'' It didn't keep the former PGA champion from a 5-under 67 to get into the final pairing with McDowell on Sunday.
Woods, a five-time champion at Sherwood, kept himself in the game. Even though Woods failed to birdie any of the five par 5s, he picked up a pair of birdies on the final two par 3s and added a third to salvage a 69 that left him five shots behind.
``I'm going to have to shoot a low one tomorrow and see what happens,'' Woods said.
McDowell was at 13-under 203, and will try to win from the front for the first time since he was tied for the 54-hole lead at the Scottish Open at Loch Lomond in 2008. His specialty of late has been rallying on the last day - four shots behind at the World Challenge, three shots behind at the U.S. Open at Pebble Beach, four shots behind at the Wales Open, all of those in 2010.
On another overcast day with a light drizzle, McDowell picked up a pair of birdies he wasn't expecting.
He laid up on the par-5 second hole and hit his wedge with two much spin, the ball rolling back down a pair of tiers that left him some 40 feet away. He rolled that in for a birdie, and then holed about a 25-foot birdie putt on No. 4. McDowell's best swing of the day came at the ninth, with the pin at the far back of the green. He hit a 6-iron to about 6 feet for birdie, and picked up his fourth birdie with a two-putt on the 11th, the one par 5 he can reach in two.
The damp conditions all week have made some of the par 5s difficult to reach, even for some of the longer hitters, and birdies are no longer sure things. Woods found that out the hard way, missing the fairway badly to the right on No. 5 and having to lay up. Even when he was in position for birdie on the 11th, he three-putted for par. But he closed strong, and still has an outside chance.
Bo Van Pelt had a 70 and was tied with Woods at 8-under than 208. Jim Furyk was another shot behind after trading three birdies with three bogeys for a 72.
``I felt like I played decent enough to get to 10 under and just didn't do it,'' Woods said
Bradley and McDowell are the only players to post all three rounds in the 60s. A year ago, Bradley was 10 over for the tournament and never shot better than 73.
``I played so poorly here last year, it just feels so good to be in the hunt, and I'm striking the ball as good as I can,'' Bradley said. ``A few putts go in tomorrow, I think I could have a good run at this.''
Bradley has been the center of attention all week, especially after the USGA and the R&A proposed a new rule on anchored strokes that would keep him from using the belly putter. The rule is not to take effect until 2016 at the latest, but some fans are passionate against it.
Already this week, Bradley told of getting a tweet from some follower who advised him to apply for a job at Burger King in 2016. And then he told of the man who told him he was cheating, which was unusual for Bradley because he can't ever recall getting heckled.
``There's always going to be people who are negative,'' he said.
The primary focus is catching up to McDowell, who is starting to feel right at home in this toney neighborhood. The runner-up finish in 2009 earned him enough ranking points that eventually got him into the U.S. Open at Pebble Beach, which he won for his first major, and that win assured him a spot in the Ryder Cup.
He won again in California with his comeback against Woods at Sherwood.
McDowell's only regret Saturday was not making another birdie after the 11th hole, although the pars didn't hurt him.
``I played disciplined golf to some of those tighter pins,'' McDowell said. ``Couldn't seem to get anything to drop, but two shots ahead going into Sunday, I'll take that any week, anywhere, any time, and it's right where you need to be.''
It helps being at Sherwood.

AgLetter: November 2007
The largest annual increase in farmland values, 16 percent, in almost three decades highlighted an amazing year for agriculture in the Seventh Federal Reserve District. The values of both crop and livestock production set records in 2007 for the U.S. and, in all likelihood, the District. Based on 265 surveys returned by District agricultural bankers, the quarterly rise in the value of "good" agricultural land was 6 percent in the fourth quarter of 2007. Over half of the respondents expected farmland values to keep going up in the first quarter of 2008.

This is a common skin disease in children. It is so common that people have given it a few names:
To avoid confusion, we'll use the medical term atopic dermatitis.
Children often get atopic dermatitis (AD) during their first year of life. If a child gets AD during this time, dry and scaly patches appear on the skin. These patches often appear on the scalp, forehead, and face. These patches are very common on the cheeks.
No matter where it appears, AD is often very itchy. Infants may rub their skin against bedding or carpeting to relieve the itch.
In children of all ages, the itch can be so intense that a child cannot sleep. Scratching can lead to a skin infection.
Because atopic dermatitis can be long lasting, it is important to learn how to take care of the skin. Treatment and good skin care can alleviate much of the discomfort.
Atopic dermatitis (AD) looks different in infants, children, and adults. The following gives you the signs (what you see) and symptoms (what you feel) for each age group.
AD can begin early. A child may be 2 or 3 months old when AD begins. When AD begins early, it often causes:A rash that appears suddenly and:
makes the skin dry, scaly, and itchy.
Parents often worry that their babies are getting AD in the diaper area. A babies rarely gets AD in his or her diaper area. The skin stays too moist for AD.
When AD begins between 2 years of age and puberty, the child often has these signs and symptoms:
In time, the skin with AD can:
When talking about the thickened skin, your dermatologist may use the word lichenification. This word means thickened skin.
It is rare for adults to get AD. Most people (90%) get AD before age 5. About half (50%) of people who get AD during childhood continue to have milder signs and symptoms of AD as an adult. When an adult has AD, it often looks different from the AD of childhood. For adults, AD often:
If a person has had AD for years, patches of skin may be thick and darker than the rest of the skin (or lighter). Thickened skin can itch all the time. Adults who had AD as a child and no longer have AD can have the following:
Around the world, between 10% and 20% of children have AD. About 1% to 3% of adults have AD. People of all skin colors get AD.
Most people (90%) get AD before their 5th birthday. AD rarely starts when a person is an adult.
AD is much more common today than it was 30 years ago. Dermatologists are not sure why. They do know that some children have a greater risk of getting AD. The following seem to increase a child's risk of getting AD:
Researchers are still studying what causes AD. Through their studies, they have learned that AD:Is not contagious:
About half (50%) of the people with severe AD (covers a large area of the body or is very troublesome) will get asthma and about two-thirds (66%) will get hay fever.
Foods do not cause AD. But some studies suggest that food allergies can make AD worse. Children who have AD often have food allergies to these foods — milk and foods that contain milk (e.g., yogurt and cheese), nuts, and shellfish.
Before you stop feeding your child any foods, talk about this with your child's dermatologist. Children need certain foods to grow and develop normally. Researchers continue to study what causes this complex disease. They believe that many things interact to cause AD. These things include our genes, where we live, and the way our immune system works.
Come prima cosa, per accertarsi che si tratti di dermatite atopica, il dermatologo osserva la pelle del bambino ed in un secondo momento farà delle domande.
A volte eseguono un patch test (cerottoreazione), che normalmente serve per individuare le allergie. Alcuni studi dimostrano che alcuni allergeni possono contribuire a far peggiorare la dermatite atopica.
To diagnose atopic dermatitis (AD), a dermatologist begins by looking at the child's skin. The dermatologist will look for a rash. The dermatologist also will ask questions. It is important for the dermatologist to know whether the child has itchy skin. The dermatologist also needs to know whether blood relatives have had AD, asthma, or hay fever.
Sometimes a dermatologist will perform a patch test. This medical test is used to find allergies. It involves placing tiny amounts of allergens (substances that cause allergies for some people) on the child's skin. The dermatologist will check the skin for reactions. Checks are often done after a few hours, 24 hours, and 72 hours. Studies suggest that some allergens can make AD worse.
How do dermatologists treat atopic dermatitis?
Treatment cannot cure AD, but it can control AD. Treatment is important because it can:
A treatment plan often includes medicine, skin care, and lifestyle changes. Skin care and lifestyle changes can help prevent flare-ups. Many patients receive tips for coping. Doing all of this may seem bothersome, but sticking to the plan can make a big difference.
A dermatologist will create a treatment plan tailored to the patient's needs. Medicine and other therapies will be prescribed as needed to:
To learn more about the medicines and other therapies that dermatologists use to treat AD, go to:
Studies have found that when AD develops in an infant or young child, the child tends to get better with time. For some children, the condition completely disappears by age 2.
About half (50%) of the children who get AD will have it as an adult. The good news is that the AD often becomes milder with age.
There is no way to know whether the AD will go away or be a lifelong disease. This makes treatment very important. Treatment can stop the AD from getting worse. Treatment also helps to relieve the discomfort.

I loved the original Star Wars: The Force Unleashed when it came out, but it was not without its issues.
There were problems with using the force to grab the object you wanted to grab, a deep upgrade system that was perhaps a bit too complicated and some infuriating level design. But I played through the entire game, my son watching on in rapt attention, because at its heart it was terrific fun.
With Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II, LucasArts hopes to bring back that fun, force-unleashed sizzle of the first game and combine it with tweaks meant to iron out some of those original game's problems.
The game also continues the storyline, having you take on the role of the clone of the first game's anti-hero, Starkiller, as he struggles to come to grips with his identity and fights Darth Vader's corrupting influence.
The first thing I noticed while playing through a level of Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II at last week's GamesCom is how the team has added a bit of auto-locking to how you grab objects with the force. It's nothing over-the-top, but helps you quickly grab objects and enemies with the force and fling them where you want.
I found this most noticeable near the end of the demo when I had to grab Tie Fighters as they sped by, something that was always a bit tricky for me in the original.
The way the team solved the issue was by having the force lock on to the most sensible thing, but still allowing you to guide that if you're trying to grab an object that may not be front and center. Assistant producer Cameron Suey said the team also cut down on the amount of objects that you can interact with.
I was a bit disappointed when he pointed this out, but the reasoning, that too many interactive and destructible objects can clutter the play, makes a lot of sense. Once I got into the game, I hardly ever noticed it.
The game also added some new Jedi tricks. Force Sense, which you activate by pressing up on the controller's directional pad, draws a faint and disappearing line on the ground to show you where you need to be going next. It's subtle, but very helpful in some of those levels where you might be in a big area or forced to backtrack.
They also added the ability to use Jedi Mind Tricks on your enemies. The ability impacts enemies in a number of different ways. It can cause Stormtroopers to grab their head in pain and then suddenly run to their death in a laser shield or by jumping from a platform. It also can cause an enemy to turn on his friends and attack them. When you use the ability you can hear your voice faintly echoing in the area, letting you hear what things you're telling to the bad guys to make them lose it. It's a cool little touch.
Once you're powered up, pushing in both thumbsticks at the same time puts you in a Force Fury mode that significantly powers up your moves and blends them together, like allowing you to grab an AT-AT with the force and crush it into a ball, all while lighting shoots out of it.
The game includes a number of new enemies and giant enemies as well. The first of these was the Carbonite War Droid, a giant bot that carries a shield and can freeze you solid with a stream of carbonite and then shatter you.
While these giant enemies can take a lot more damage, and require a bit of creative thinking to get rid of, they're not too time consuming. Once they are stunned, for instance, you just need to approach them and tap a single button to do a cinematic kill.
Battles are, as always, an amazing thing to behold: Blending force powers and taking on waves of enemies while wielding dual light sabers never gets old. And this time around you can actually do quite a bit of cutting damage. During my battles I decapitated enemies, sliced off arms, legs, all of the above. While the game lets you do the damage, the instant cauterizing effect of the light saber means there's still no blood or gore.
Other changes to the game include a streamlining of the upgrade system, which means less choices, but also less time tinkering and more time playing. And you can customize your character and still collect saber crystals to change not just the color, but the effect of the weapons, like adding a disintegration ability to a blade.
In a typical play through of the game, you should be able to get about 75 percent of the content unlocked, Suey said.
And once you finish playing the single-player you can check out the Challenge Rooms, a collection of different areas that have you platforming through sections, solving puzzles, fighting and combining the three all with a timer.
After my time with the single player, I checked out a Domination Challenge, which was essentially a king of the hill match. My character started out in the center of a square platform with a large green circle in the center of it. The object of the match was to keep enemies from going into the circle for 45 seconds. As soon as an enemy got into the circle the countdown would stop.
The platform I was on had four bridges, one on each side, attached to it and throughout my play session a variety of enemies would come running down the different bridges and toward my platform. It took me a bit under three minutes to have the counter hit zero. Achieving a platinum award for the challenge requires doing in in under 55 seconds.
Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, even free of the story which I didn't see much of, looks like the perfect type of sequel to a game that shouldn't have sold better than it did. The team recognized what people loved about the game and added to it, but they also made the adjustments necessary to fix the minor flaws without making the game feel different.
I can't wait until October 26 when this game hits.

Glyphosate's big threat is litigation, not regulation
FOR years, the Australian agriculture sector has been quietly confident of the ongoing availability of glyphosate.
In spite of some sporadic negative press, such as the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) labelling the herbicide a "probable" carcinogen, there was the overwhelming opinion that regulatory approval would be there, given the various scientific studies that have shown the product's safety.
On that front, nothing has changed. The Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority (APVMA) remains in line with the vast majority of international regulators and scores of studies that continue to say glyphosate, when it is used in accordance to the label directions, is indeed safe to use.
But there is growing concern that the product's downfall may well come not from a government ban but due to worries about legal liability.
Global giant Bayer has been hit with huge legal fines in the United States as a result of three successful lawsuits in California, where juries found that the glyphosate-based Roundup herbicide owned by Bayer had contributed to the plaintiffs' non-Hogdkins' lymphoma.
In recent weeks, news has filtered through the first Australian lawsuit against the company on similar grounds have been launched.
The legal firm behind the Australian court action, Carbone Lawyers, says that there is significant interest among the community that could lead to further cases being lodged.
This has the Aussie crop protection sector spooked.
Nufarm issued a release to the ASX commenting on the significant legal risks faced around glyphosate at present, even though it did not manufacture the product but simply used it in its own formulations.
A global giant like Bayer may be able to withstand some legal pain, to an extent.
But for smaller crop protection businesses, it would not take much to force them to the wall. And while the actions thus far are limited to Bayer, there is nervousness it could spread to others involved with the chemical.
A global giant like Bayer may be able to withstand some legal pain, to an extent. But for smaller crop protection businesses, it would not take much to force them to the wall. And while the actions thus far are limited to Bayer, there is nervousness it could spread to others involved with the chemical.
It has some farmers worried that while, legally, it is fine to continue to use glyphosate, companies will choose not to make glyphosate-based due to the legal risks involved.
That may sound like a long bow to draw at present. But should other legal jurisdictions outside famously liberal California find in favour of plaintiffs and the legal costs pile up, then investors are not going to continue to give the companies a mandate to lose money hand over fist just because farmers want the product.
There's been a lot of talk from the farm sector about the infallibility of the science and the unfairness of having livelihoods and environments negatively impacted by laymen juries without the capacity to fully understand the background and easily swayed by emotive arguments. It's true that it is not fair - nor have the arguments surrounding animal welfare or the use of genetically modified crops, but the cruel fact is that public perception is all.
The key is going to be getting the message out to the people.
But the sobering point is that this is a lot easier said than done and previous attempts to improve the glyphosate brand have failed to cut through in urban areas in any way, shape or form.
Here's hoping concerted campaigns on educating consumers, such as the one currently being pushed by the National Farmers Federation (NFF), will gain traction.
Public perception will be equally as important as scientific fact in keeping glyphosate in the toolbox for Aussie farmers.
One thing is for sure, lobbing out broadsides at people for being unscientific and expecting Joe Public to miraculously acknowledge glyphosate's role in our farming systems is simply equivalent to fiddling while Rome burns.

Aliclen Shampoo
GENERIC NAME(S): Salicylic Acid
Salicylic acid is used on the skin/scalp to treat psoriasis and other dry, scaly skin conditions. It belongs to the same class of drugs as aspirin (salicylates). This medication should not be used in children younger than 2 years.
Salicylic acid causes the skin to shed dead cells from its top layer by increasing the amount of moisture in the skin and dissolving the substance that makes the cells clump together. This effect makes it easier to shed the skin cells, softens the top layer of skin, and decreases scaling and dryness.
How to use Aliclen Shampoo
Wet hair and scalp with water. Apply shampoo to scalp. Work the shampoo into a lather and then rinse off. Use as often as directed by your doctor. Once your condition has improved, your doctor may direct you to use this product only occasionally or to stop using it.
This medication should be used on the skin/scalp only. Be careful to avoid your eyes, nostrils, mouth, and genitals. If contact occurs, flush the area with cool water for 15 minutes. Be careful when applying this medication because it can irritate normal skin around the treated area.
Do not use large amounts, apply more often, or use for a longer time than directed. Your condition will not clear faster, but the chance for side effects may be increased.
