Treatment Scratching only the condition worse. Anti-itch medicines taken by mouth, such as diphenhydramine (Benadryl) and loratiadine (such as Claritin), may help you stop scratching. Take an anti-itch medicine before bed if you scratch in your sleep.Apply an ointments or creams to your hands at least two times per day, and after every hand washing.Heavy ointments are best. Petroleum jelly (such as Vaseline), mineral oil or vegetable shortening may be best but can be messy. Creams are thicker than lotions. Creams such as Eucerin and Lubriderm may be helpful. Your doctor may prescribe steroid (or corticosteroid) ointments or creams.

Lady B's pull it out of the hat
Blaine advanced to the next round of the district soccer tournament with a narrow but decisive win over a well-prepared Lakewood squad last Tuesday at the Pipe 3-2 in overtime. Alyssa Hendrickson's two goals were enough to lift the Lady B's into the win column, but up until her game winner at 20 seconds into overtime on an assist by Bailey Richardson the game could easily have gone either way. It was one of the best efforts seen at the Pipe in recent years. Not only did both teams deserve the win, but each seemed to gather the game in hand only to let it slip away time after time, leading to a wild finish that was more like a movie than a real game.
Lakewood history teacher and two-year varsity coach Jeremiah Wolgemuth prepared his team well, taking what was an inept and somewhat clumsy team just a few seasons ago and molding them into a heads-up and savvy opponent that matches the Lady B's like a mirror.
Wren Baldwin nailed the first one on an assist from Bailey Richardson in the 13th minute during a soft but cold rain.
Shortly after the halftime break Lakewood knotted the score at one, where it stayed as the rain stopped and the sky broke open in the west. Each team seemed to be effective up its right side as the offenses traded offensive thrusts, neither one winning or losing while playing some of the best and most energetic soccer of the season.
Then, in the 38th minute, Alyssa Hendrickson canned a line drive from about 25 yards out on a Bailey Richardson assist, and Lakewood reacted like a jostled hive of hornets, knowing they had maybe three minutes counting injury time before the game would be lost forever. Their offense went straight to Blaine's goal after the ball was put into play but Blaine keeper Janelle Gobbato stepped in front of the inevitable short-range shot and with a stretch stopped the ball cold at the goal mouth.
Moments later Lakewood charged into the Blaine end again, shot and nearly scored before Gobbato pounced on the ball as players piled and tripped around her.
And the whistle blew, not to end the game but to lay a personal foul for tripping on the prostrate Blaine goalie, who looked up in confusion, her arm that was tightly wound around the ball supposedly having tripped a Lakewood player.
This set up Lakewood with a penalty kick with but seconds left in the game, the Blaine fans having gone from elation to despair in the time it takes to read the period at the end of this sentence, while Lakewood, of course, went nuts. The PK was good and the tie sent the game into two five minute overtimes followed by a shoot-out.
Then, just seconds into the extra frame, Hendrickson scored again, this time from the left side of the goal mouth, on yet another Bailey Richardson assist, soccer's equivalent to a walk-off home run.
Afterward, Blaine head coach Dan Steelquist told his young team that, "this is what we're getting ready for in practice, this kind of game, no let-up." The B's (8-10) play this Friday but at press time were still waiting to find out both their opponent and location.
Dan Persse receives state honor
Dan Persse, physical education instructor at Blaine elementary school, has earned the Washington state Elementary PE teacher of the year from the Washington Association of Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Dance (WAHPERD).
Persse was presented the award at a WAHPERD conference and recognized by the school district with flowers and a plaque at a Blaine school board meeting last Monday.
school district superintendent Dr. Mary Lynne Derrington
said Persse stood out among others for
his passion for teaching and involvement in the community. "We
are so proud of Dan," she said.
Persse will now go on to compete for the national title, a contest that will be determined in the 2006/07 school year, Derrington said.
"I'm very appreciative," Persse said at the meeting.
a time where obesity in children is becoming rampant,
Persse said his mission is to teach children to be physically
active throughout their lives.
Lisa Rakoz, president of WAHPERD, and health and fitness program supervisor at the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction, agreed.
"He has so many remarkable qualities as far as his dedication and passion for education in the physical education arena," she said. "Not only is he a fabulous teacher, but he also helps at a state level."
Persse grew up in the Finger Lakes region of New York state and moved to Blaine in 1988 after serving four years in the U.S. Navy and working several years as a commercial fisher.
He earned a his bachelor of arts degree with honors from Western Washington University in 1996 with a double major in K-12 physical education, and exercise and sports science.
He also worked as a fitness instructor at Bellingham Athletic Club and a Sunday school teacher at Grace Lutheran Church in Blaine for several years.
He began teaching physical education at Blaine high school in 1996 and at Blaine elementary school in 1997.
"The first five years were trial and error," he said, adding his teaching style has changed 180 degrees since he started. "When you network with different districts you see what they're doing and you learn new things."
2001, he returned to school to earn his masters in arts
degree in physical education and health and leisure studies
from Central Washington University in Ellensburg
and earned his degree in 2004.
Persse said a lot of what he has done wouldn't be possible without the support of the Blaine school district.
"Many of these things would not have been possible without the school district being so flexible in letting me try new things," he said.

QU Men's Basketball In Europe: Day 3On our last day here in Amsterdam, we were able to do what we really came here to do - win basketball games. We played against the Meppel Red Giants and were able to win handily. A lot of guys played well for us. Ike Azotam, Will Harrison, and Deontay Twyman were just a few of the many that played well for us tonight. What is really exciting is that we were able to get a convincing win, and it was our first game together, and still we have a lot of room to get better as a team.
Before our game, we were able to get in a few last tourist sites before we head out for Belgium tomorrow morning. We started the day off by going to a Diamond Museum. We saw how diamonds were created, and why each different cut of diamond is priced the way they are. At the end of our trip to the diamond museum, we got to see all sorts of different diamonds up close, including one diamond that was worth $10 million.
After the diamond museum, we went down the street to the Vincent Van Gogh museum. Earlier in the week, we saw on our bus tour, where Rembrandt lived, so we are getting to see some great art history here in Amsterdam. At the Van Gogh museum, we saw hundreds of his paintings, and sketches, including several of his famous paintings. I found it ironic that we went to see his paintings in Amsterdam, and maybe his most famous painting, "Starry Night," was back in a New York museum. Overall though, both museums were great experiences.
After our museum trips, we started our game preparation by eating some pasta at a local Italian restaurant. Afterwards, we boarded the bus and headed off to the game. The drive was supposed to only be an hour and a half but ended up being more like two and half hours due to some traffic.
On the bus, most guys rested, slept, listened to music, and just did whatever they needed to do in order to get themselves ready to play. I personally had my iPod going, listening to only the most classic pump-up songs such as 'NSync's, "Tearin' Up My Heart" and "Under the Sea" from Disney's hit feature film "The Little Mermaid."
Our stay here in Amsterdam has been great, and we are all really looking forward to getting to Belgium tomorrow morning, and possibly getting to eat some real Belgian Waffles. I have to give a quick shout-out to our newest staff member Evann Baker, who now has an undefeated lifetime record as a coach. Goodnight for the last time from Amsterdam, and I'll see you all in Belgium!

Cumberland County Sheriff's Detectives have arrested a Fayetteville man and charged him with running over his wife with his truck following a domestic dispute.
Ronald Joseph Guilette, 29, of Buckskin Drive is charged with assault with a deadly weapon. Detectives say that Thursday, Guilette got into a physical and verbal dispute with his wife in the front yard of their home.
During the altercation, Guilette got into his truck and backed out of his driveway and onto Buckskin Drive, where his wife was standing in the roadway. She was forcefully struck and run over by the truck Guilette was driving, according to the Cumberland County Sheriff's Office.
Victim Trisha Guilette said Friday that she has serious injuries to her spine, pelvis, ribs and abdomen. She also has a broken finger, several scrapes and bruises.
She was treated at Cape Fear Valley Medical Center for lacerations to the abdomen, pelvis, neck, face and arm areas. She also has a concussion. She remained in the hospital Friday morning, being treated for her injuries.
She said during the argument, she called police and she was standing near the front drivers side of her husband's truck when he ran over her, dragging a few feet down the road.
"[I was] telling him 'don't go. The police are coming. You're going to get in more trouble,"Guilette said. "He took off. I went under."
Ronald Guilette was released from the Cumberland County Detention Center under a $5,000 bond. He made his first appearance on Thursday. (Based on information from the Cumberland County Sheriff's Office, a previous version of this story said Guilette was scheduled to make his first appearance Friday).
Trisha Guilette says she believes her husband should also be charged with attempted murder.
"My life was on the line. I could not move off that ground. Every time they position me and move me I'm screaming," she said. "I don't know how I'm going to take care of my kids this way."

The tourists, aged between 21 and 31, went missing after leaving the nearby southern city of Tupiza on Thursday, Colonel Denis Duchen, police chief of the department of Potosi, told reporters earlier.
The La Razon newspaper website says the five Australians were found and were returning to La Paz. It's understood their van became stuck in mud.
The search for their tour guide is continuing.
There are no roads in the Salar, which is located near the crest of the Andes, some 3650 metres above sea level, and spread across a desolate expanse of 12,000 square kilometres.
Visitors usually navigate their way around the treacherous landscape by relying on tracks left by previous vehicles, but these can be washed out by heavy rain.
On Saturday a Department of Foreign Affairs (DFAT) spokesman confirmed the Australians had been found safe by lunchtime, local time.
They had been reported missing to local authorities less than 24 hours earlier, the DFAT spokesman said.

Our appeals
10 April 2014

Scotland is home to an amazing variety of seabirds. We have 24 breeding species which swoop and dive into the water and make our coasts their home.
The seabird cities that surround our coastline are some of the most spectacularly dramatic places in the world to watch wildlife. In fact, Sir David Attenborough once described a Scottish seabird colony as 'one of the 12 wildlife wonders of the world.'
Our seabirds depend on the seas to provide them with food. But sandeels - one of the prey species they rely on most - are being affected by climate change, which means seabirds are going hungry, and breeding colonies are shrinking.
We're fighting to make sure the Scottish Government gives our marine environment the protection it deserves. Watch this space to find out how you can get involved.
In 2010, when the Scottish Government announced that it was going to create Marine Protected Areas (MPAs), we were hopeful that this would address decades of seabird decline and a lack of protection.
Our optimism was short-lived, as it emerged that the government only wanted to protect one type of bird, the black guillemot, with MPAs and ignore the other 23 species - a decision we have fought every step of the way.
An announcement on which MPAs will be designated is expected this summer. There have been six sites proposed for black guillemots and three for sandeels - tiny silver fish which are more important than they look, as they are the main food source for many other marine animals.
The government must designate these sites if the MPA network is to be scientifically sound. Another site which is absolutely vital is the Firth of Forth Banks Complex MPA. This area is known to be an important habitat for sandeels and a feeding area for many seabirds. Again, the government must designate this site and make sure it protects sandeels.
We will continue to fight to have these sites designated but we can't do it without your help. Keep checking our blogs for updates and more information about how you can get involved.
Seabirds like kittiwakes, which feed at the sea's surface, have been badly hit
Scotland is internationally renowned for its seabird population and is home to around 5 million seabirds, including globally important populations of some species like the great skua, gannet, Manx shearwater and shag.
The most up-to-date information shows that Scotland has lost around half of its seabirds since the mid-1980s, with surface feeders such as kittiwakes and terns faring particularly badly.
Many of these changes are driven by changes in food availability, which is in turn driven by climate change.
The situation is particularly bad in places like Orkney, where a thriving wildlife tourism business exists. Kittiwakes have declined by as much as 86 per cent in the last decade. Arctic terns have seen drastic declines as well, and the overall picture isn't great.
MPAs will give seabirds resilience against the effects of climate change. Protecting seabird feeding hotspots means that seabirds have a fighting chance of survival.
A beakful of sandeels destined for a hungry puffin chick

The small, silvery sandeel is something of a super hero in the sea. Sandeels have an important place in the marine food web and are utterly vital for seabirds, dolphins, whales and porpoises. But their populations are declining, with climate change understood to be the main reason.
Based on the best available evidence, we believe that sandeels are declining in abundance, size and quality in the North Sea. Many of our sandeel-dependent seabird populations are declining at the same time.
For example, the Scottish population of kittiwakes (whose diet can comprise of more than 90 per cent sandeels in the breeding season) has declined by more than two thirds in Scotland since the 1980s.
Climate change has meant that the food sandeels eat has moved and what is available is of a lesser quality. This has had an impact on sandeel and seabird populations.
By protecting their habitat, MPAs offer sandeels protection from potentially damaging developments at sea and helps them cope with the mounting pressure placed upon them by climate change.
It is important we protected seabirds and the food they eat. We have lost half of our seabirds in 25 years. Our populations are on a knife edge and we need to act now. Keep checking our blogs for updates and more information on how you can get involved.

I haven't blogged pets with my stuff for a bit, so excuse the deluge of adorability. All of these animals, I should add, are completely terrific. They are, from top to bottom and left to right:
Isaac P.R. and John Marshall's pup Grammer (named after Camille, natch); Ariel Rasmussen's fetching Russian Blue, Tabby; Abbey Lynch's uncle's mini-schnauzer, Jerry (Jerry!); Jenny Martin's laughing bandana girl Audrey; Jedi, who belongs to Gabe Durham (an amazing author whose book you should pre-order!); Ronald Faulkner's blonde pup Erie; Charlotte and Eric White's tuckered-out Tucker; Maddy Boesen's fan of eating magic markers and Ikea packagaing, Rue; Danielle McGurran's family's seeing-impaired angel, Bella; and supermodel of the year/cat most likely to make Emma Stone think really long and hard about whether she's even pretty, PomPom—a stunning cat who belongs to Madeline Stano.
Thanks to the pets and their peoples for sending these life-affirming photos. What is the point of making things if you can't collect pictures of animals standing next to them? Precisely nothing.

Dear Tom -
After reading the interviews from the Doctor Who magazines, the typecasting issue got my curiosity peeked . In the "84" interview you didn't seemed very concerned about being typecast, but by the "91" interview you had excepted, quite gracefully I might add, having been typecast.
Between these two interviews was there a particular incident or moment such as, the loss of a part, something mentioned or said that made you realize you HAD been typecast ? Or was it a gradual ( and no doubt frustrating ) feeling that began to build over time through a series of events ?
Always in admiration

Kids' Guernica Exhibition at the Zappeion, Athens ECCM Symposium
The ECCM-Network Symposium Productivity of Culture and the Kids'-Guernica-Exhibition took place in Athens from the 17th until the 21st October 2007 and more precisely on the 18th and 19th of October at the Zappeion Megaron.
The ECCM Symposium 'Productivity of Culture' was initiated by Spyros Mercouris, Honorary President of the Network of European Capitals of Culture and Months (ECCM) in collaboration with the non profit NGO Poiein kai Prattein, the NGO Horizon, the Melina Mercouri Foundation and the European Union Club. Coorganiser was Hatto Fischer, coordinator of Poiein kai Prattein and who brought about the linkage to Kids' Guernica.
ECCM Symposium 2007
As to the Symposium itself, the various sessions were designed to focus upon the relationship between culture and policy makers, the role of cultural institutions such as museums, the importance of dialogue between cultures for foreign relations and what linkage between the economy and culture can exist so that a 'dignified life' (George Krimpas) is possibile.
Furthermore a special session was designed to familiarize European Capitals of Culture with the method of cultural planning. This meant looking into whether cities have the means and tools to bring about creativity.
Then, aside from reflecting upon experiences made within Kids' Guernica as a special network operating world wide on an informal, decentralized basis, the Symposium did address the question as to what shall be the future of the ECCM Network. The ECCM Network had entered a difficult phase after its last General Assembly in Patras 2006 provoked the departure of the member of Luxembourg. That was all the more painful since Luxembourg not only hosted the office of the ECCM but was the European Capital of Culture in 2007. Pressure upon the network stemmed as well from the new demands within Europe for a more informal networking capacity. At the same time the adoption on a world wide basis of the same idea to have every year a Capital of Culture in Canada, USA, Latin America, Arabic countries and Africa posed new questions in need of practical answers.
Aims and intentions
Fore mostly the ECCM Symposium is linked to a wish of the European Commission that the study it commissioned to KEA about the relationship between 'economy and culture' be validated by European Capitals of Culture. This would mean to verify if this relationship between the two has been changed by that one defining year. This was examined especially in the presentation of Krakow and extended in the paper given by Bernd Fesel as to how Ruhr or Essen 2010 was envisioning this conversion from a coal and steel industrial region into a hub for creative and cultural industries.
But above all the various sessions of the Symposium were meant to bring about a badly needed discourse in Europe. Michael D. Higgins spoke emphatically not only during his presentation at the Symposium but throughout the subsequent discussions about the need for an intellectual discourse which does not overlook the hidden sources of violence. His critical voice should be heeded at EU level if cultural policy is to become a true advocate of participatory forms for people in the life of Europe and its institutions. As former Minister of Culture in Ireland he knows only too well that very few decisions are really brought about by the Council of Ministers responsible for culture. One possible explanation is a lack of courage. It reflects also the kind of discourse being practiced, one which does not name the real issues or sidelines them conveniently with the promise to take them up later - but never kept.
Connected with this aim to enliven the intellectual discourse about culture in Europe, Spyros Mercouris wanted to stem himself and the ECCM network against the negative tide it was facing. He wanted to show to everyone that the ECCM was still capable of doing something. He meant to address as much the newly designated European Capitals of Culture such as Liverpool 2008 and Essen 2010 as those who thought the ECCM had outlived its purpose and who preferred an informal network. The irony was that the ECCM did function over a large period of time more as an informal network as this allowed for a flow of innovative ideas. The ECCM Network aimed to uphold a continuity of reflections of experiences made by past, current and future European Capitals of Culture. Thus b picking up this theme of 'productivity of culture', Spyros Mercouris thought to enhance the capacity of the ECCM network to keep up with changing times.
Following objectives were kept in mind when organising this event at the Zappeion in Athens during October 17 - 19, 2007:
Follow up the ECCM Symposium of 2005 and strengthen the ECCM Network as a network of networks with many more continents aside from the European one adopting a similar idea of Melina Mercouri, namely to promote culture through such an institution as the European Capitals of Culture have done so since 1985.
Strengthen Civil Society, and in particular Cultural NGOs when engaging political authorities and institutions on matters related to culture and cultural policy whereby Michael D. Higgins has formulated already in 1999 and 2000 a practical agenda to be implemented and which includes the promotion of cultural impact studies to enrich feasibility studies.
Further discussions and studies of the role cultural institutions such as museums can play in the promotion of cultural development.
Advise future European Capitals of Culture to address the need for 'public spaces / public truths' (Bart Verschaffel) by taking into consideration progress made with regards to cultural planning.
Monitor the cultural economy in the making and follow-up studies on cultural economy as the European Commission becomes attentive to the role culture can play in terms of innovation and creativity to further economic development.
Give recognition to cultural initiatives and in particular creative people by refining the art of networking between people, cities and cultures.
Ensure that cities recognize the value of the arts and culture and to do so by setting up archives as places of memories e.g. the Documentation Centre of the City of Athens.
Further dialogue between cultures by listening to the voices of people and by searching for ways and means so as not to let dry up the tributes to the great stream of humanity (Kacem)

'The X Factor' recap, Annapolis singer David Correy gets cut
Last night's "The Voice" did not disappoint. We saw a full range of performances, a judges' brawl and Britney got bangs. If that's not excitement then I don't know what is. Tonight though, we had to say goodbye to four more singers (one from each group) — including David Correy, the adopted Annapolis singer whose "X Factor" journey began as a way to find his biological mother in Brazil. But more on that later.

Crucifix – Part 3
by Roger LaPointe
Crucifix Part 3 – Questions about the Crucifix Lift
How about the lower body when doing the crucifix (iron cross)?
The official competition crucifix lift is properly performed with the feet together. The feet are brought together once the weights are brought together overhead and before the weights are allowed to descend. As you are learning the lift, don't worry about the legs. Get the weights overhead and learn the upper body movements first. The Crucifix is an awesome movement for highlighting that old physical culture concept of symmetrically balanced physical development. You see this as topic of apparently huge importance in the older bodybuilding literature, as measured by the amount of print space devoted to it. However, from a practical issue, no where has it been better highlighted than during a Crucifix Lift. I thought the 2 Hand Barbell Snatch made this obvious, with press outs, spear fished barbells and other dramatic missed attempts, but it is even more obvious in the crucifix. No one in the Atomic Athletic Club has properly held out those weights, with their feet together, the first time. You will be surprised at how much of an impact the foot position will be, as you get closer to limit lifts. Once you get everything else nailed down, add in the foot placement.
Read the specifics of the competition lift in the USAWA Official Rule Book, which can be found on this website.
What is the best dumbbell for the crucifix?
Man, that is a great question. I always believe that solid dumbbells are the best, for just about anything. Obviously, a solid dumbbell is terrible if you need to adjust it. For training purposes, I am not a big fan of Olympic sized dumbbells. They are so big that they really limit what you can effectively do with them. However, if you only have Olympic sized plates, they are clearly the cheapest way to go. I am a big fan of a rotating dumbbell as well, which is satisfied by the Olympic dumbbell concept. Standard sized equipment, plates and bars, are much more compact and they are cheaper than the Olympic ones. We sell a variety of bars, rotating handles, collars, plates and other equipment, including the kettlebell handles that I like for the crucifix. However, that may not be an invest you are willing to make.

Narrow your search
Here's where you find the best of the best, our top digital cameras across the board.
Updates for the company's latest X-series compact also include Wi-Fi and a better LCD.
While Fujifilm hasn't changed much about the inside of the X20, its successor does gain some nice features.
The Wide 300 gets a more streamlined look than its predecessor while keeping a nearly identical feature set and price, while the camera maker also added new color options to its Mini models.
The only weather-resistant 50x megazoom camera around, the Fujifilm FinePix S1 is a fast, flexible camera that comes up a little short in low-light photo quality.
The Fujifilm X-T1 is a great camera for advanced photographers as long as its quirks don't bother you.
Merging old and new, Fujifilm's Instax Share SP-1 is a fun, portable wireless instant photo printer worth picking up if you don't mind the costs.
It delivers great images and is still fun to shoot with, but the Fujifilm X-E2 isn't a no-brainer upgrade over the X-E1 and other cameras outfeature it.
The Fujifilm XF1 is one of the nicest-looking point-and-shoots available and it performs well, too. But its photos and features might not please some enthusiasts.
The Fujifiilm X20 is a great choice for people looking for a well-designed photographer's camera, but the basic feature set and disappointing video might not be for everyone.
Equipped with the latest X-Trans sensor, the XQ1 is priced for folks who want better-than-snapshot photo quality but won't miss a viewfinder.

Despite the 40 degree weather in, of all places, Georgia, being on set at the filming of this 2 for $20 commercial was great fun. Golden Corral solicited the help from some NYC improv actors and actresses to really capture the humanity – and hilarity – we see in this spot.
We think our fans will love this behind the scenes look at some of the "extra" footage we captured as our scarf-clad; glove-wearing team tailed the film crew at 1am in a four-block radius of our Marietta restaurant.
We hope you enjoy this comic relief.

Felt a bit disappointed, both storywise and artwise.
Startscreen kinda made you wish for more then what you recieved - Ive seen better works with redminus involved so I cant say I like this. The joke was kinda lame aswell, But I think it was mostly the weird skelletal monsters who killed it. They looked like puppets in a bad way. I like the idea with them lurching etc, but death headbanging the shed? smart enough to summon skelletons but apparently not smart enough to use anything else then his head.
I give it a rating of 3, could been executed better.

Best and worst E3 moments
As we get closer to E3 in June I have been thinking about the things that I love and hate about the show. Admittedly I haven't been in a long while, but the last time I was there I have to say I didn't enjoy it too much. While know the average gamer loves scantily clad women and the giant displays that all these game companies put on - complete with blaring music and over-zealous mic work - I find it jarring.
One moment that stands out for me was at E3 1999 in Atlanta. I was there with IDG Games covering the show and trying to stay sane amidst the chaos of the floor. Situated behind the Games.net / Gamepro booth was a horrible booth for an equally horrible game: Godzilla Online. The booth was as loud and as obnoxious as that giant reptile that once terrorized Tokyo and now terrorized Atlanta. Besides the rumbles and screams of Godzilla, there was the most irritating announcer that ever lived - doing blow-by-blow commentary for any attendee lame or stupid enough to walk into that booth. "LETS GET READY TO RUMBLE!" he kept screaming as Godzilla blared in the background.
I have never wanted to stab someone in the face - until that guy came along. I'll never forget it, unlike gamers who quickly kicked that crappy game to the curb for something more appealing.
But that year wasn't a complete wash. Sid Meier stopped by for a chat about the latest Civ project he was working on. I asked him if he'd ever heard of Master of Magic. He said no, and I encouraged him to try it out. He must have thought I was a Microprose shill or something. Another fellow, who apparently worked on the art (?) for SSI's Pool of Radiance was there promoting some kind of mech game from Activision - the name of which escapes me. I was easily impressed back then.
But the good was outweighed by all the bad things going on in the booths and on the floors; nerds swarming people giving shirts away, or branded playing cards, or some girls dressed up like Lara Croft having their pictures taken with some guy who was probably brave enough to eat the questionable sandwiches for sales in the convention center.. I know some people were impressed but I wasn't. The whole affair opened a little hole in my belly that could only be healed by getting back home and drinking a quart of Mylanta.
The best part of that E3 was meeting all the people I worked with back then - who no longer call IDG Games home - and meeting all the internet's finest like Steve Heaslip, Mark Surfas, etc.
But the real highlight of E3 was being able to visit Atlanta and see how beautiful that city really is. I can't say i'd be sad to see it return there. Oh and do you know who was responsible for Godzilla Online? Mythic Entertainment. How far they have come since those days of making games for GameStorm.
