Yeah, I don't get that either, then again the devs/designers seem to listen to the PvP player base hence the PvE class nerfs because they imbalance PvP arena. This in itself seems to refute the belief on most WoW-related websites (and the official forums) that no one listens to Vocal Minorities so they should be ignored altogether.
At the very least I hope with all the individual phasing tech their touting they've at least resolved existing problems. The one at the ICC summon stone that prevents members of the same raid from seeing each other and helping to summon is the most glaring example. The quest Tirion's Gambit is example of where existing phasing tech should have been applied and still hasn't been even though it's in an area where a lot of it already exists. Once someone completes the quest on your realm, you have to wait for the daily quest reset to occur before you can do it and I've seen players camping the spot to get FIRST! dibs.

The White House Office of National
Drug Control Policy (ONDCP) recently
launched its first major Federal effort
to educate parents about teen prescription
drug abuse.
Millions of television viewers watched
the advertising kickoff of this national
public awareness campaign during the
Super Bowl on January 24.
The effort includes broadcast, print,
and online advertising, community
outreach, and new print and online
Though overall teen drug use is down
nationwide, more teens abuse prescription
drugs than any other illicit drug,
except marijuana—more than cocaine,
heroin, and methamphetamine combined.
Every day, 2,500 kids age 12 to 17
abuse a prescription painkiller for
the first time, and more people are
getting addicted to prescription drugs.
Drug treatment admissions for prescription
painkillers increased more than 300
percent from 1995 to 2005.
Teens are abusing prescription drugs
because many believe the myth that
these drugs provide a "safe" high.
Especially troubling is that the majority
of teens who abuse prescription drugs
say they are easy to get and are often

Thoughts on discipline have changed drastically since I was a child.
I managed to get all the way through childhood and my teenage years with no form of punishment meted out by my father.
This isn't to say I didn't deserve it. I probably earned it more times than I ever dreamed possible, but Honey was such a kind, gentle soul that he simply couldn't bear to inflict pain, physical or any other kind, on me.
This isn't to say that I escaped the early years unscathed. In the picture also was my mother, who did not shy away from discipline.

The world of sports isn't typically known for its fashion choices, but college basketball players have recently changed up the typical jersey — by donning sleeved uniforms.
CINCINNATI — Tradition-rich UCLA and Louisville are taking on an unconventional look for college basketball's postseason: sleeves.
Adidas unveiled its new brightly colored, camouflage-patterned uniforms for six men's teams Thursday. Kansas, Notre Dame and Cincinnati will also sport the multihued shorts but will stick with sleeveless jerseys. Baylor will join the Bruins and Cardinals in wearing the short-sleeved top, which the company debuted with the NBA's Golden State Warriors earlier this month.
Alternate uniforms have become big business in college sports, from Oregon's fluorescent tones with Nike to Maryland's loud designs with Under Armour.
No. 6 Kansas, No. 10 Louisville and No. 21 Notre Dame are currently ranked in the AP Top 25. UCLA, Cincinnati and Baylor might need a few more wins to guarantee they'll be playing in the NCAA tournament.
The second-ranked Notre Dame women and No. 16 Louisville will also wear the gear.
The teams will start using the uniforms for conference tournaments.

New bow creation :) I love the look of huge bows on headbands!! This would be perfect for that…
My glittery, red, converse scream "there's no place like home" !
I decided one day "Kristin… Why must buns be messy?" And I came to the conclusion that I was gonna wear a tight bun! This was the result! I loved it and even instagramed this picture! But some girls at my table strongly disagreed and felt the need to talk about how dumb it looked! (I overheard them when I walked back to the table) but I just don't get it… Stop the bun hate.
This stuff is like fool proof! And it gives the most amazing natural tan! It NEVER turns orange and NEVER streaks! The color developes over time and adjusts to your own skin tone. I've used this on my face and it worked wonders! It is really cheap and the best self tanner in drugstores to this date. You won't find anything better! I promise!
I got a really awesome shirt from Maurices! It was mint green lace and I adored it! Until it ripped…. :(
Last year I totally rocked the bangs fad! I would totally do it again….minues the work it took to keep them undercontrol in the morning!
Last winters magical winter wonderland! I used a flash to catch the snowflakes and my hair turned out looking really red! But I loved the pic anyway :) But since this picture my fleece columbia jacket has gone MIA….*sigh*
This was my look of the day! I used the Naked2 Palette and the conair "you curl" for loose ringlet/waves! What do you think?
She is so unbelievably gorgeous!
Mint Green side bag from Target! This is from the Mossimo line. Cute! LOVE LOVE LOVE

Album of the week 20) Squarepusher - Go Plastic
I just heard this album 2 days ago and instantly feel in love with it. I don't keep up with electronic music much because it is one of those genres that is very repetitive. However Squarepusher is pretty unique in my book, he doesn't follow any song format. He just does what he feels is right. This whole album was an experience that was fast and interesting. Everything just felt perfect and random. So if you are looking for obscure random experimental electronic music, this is it. Either way if you are into any type of electronic music give it a listen.
Favorite Song on the Album: I Wish You Could Talk
Album of the week 19) The XX - XX
When I first listened to this album I didn't know what to expect. I am super glad that I gave it a chance. This was in my introduction to "dream pop". The production on this thing is really high and doesn't get boring. The duo's voices are so different but so perfect together. The album has some nice 808s and some catchy guitar riffs that just drag you in. Subject matters are nice. Overall this is a chill album to groove to. If you like Radiohead, Beach House, or just chill music in general, you might want to check this album out. Also if you like The XX, I recommend checking out "The Notorious XX", it is a nice mash up project.
Favorite Songs on the album: Islands
Album of the Week 18) Aretha Franklin - I Never Loved A Man The Way I Loved You
Man this album. This is the definition of Soul. You can tell Aretha gave her best on this album. Whenever I hear one of the songs off this album I have to listen to the whole thing. Granted some of the songs are covers, she made all the songs hers. This album is perfect for winding down and getting you sappy. Just one of those classic albums. Musically it is your typical classic soul but with Aretha killing it on vocals. That is another reason I like this album because the music was made to put Aretha in the front and let her shine. This album definitely influenced many modern artists.
Favorite Song on the album: Baby, Baby, Baby but A Change Is Gonna Come comes close
Album Of The Week 17) Michael Jackson - Thriller
When I think of the perfect album I think of this album. Every songs is great. It is just enjoyable great music. Each of the songs is strong by itself but as a whole it is a classic. I believe one of the things that makes this album great is the musical talent that Michael had being in the industry since a early age. The second was that he was not scared of mixing genres together and didn't set boundaries for himself. Thriller is not one of those albums that has a theme or concept to it, but it didn't need all that. It is just a great album that can hype you up or chill you down. Quincy Jones was forever a legend after since he produced this masterpiece. 9 songs that is all it took. Michael and him mixed and mixed till they were completely satisfied. This album crossed genres and showed people that genres were meant to be crossed. If you haven't heard this album please do yourself a favor and give it a listen. No matter what music you are into I think you will enjoy this masterpiece/classic.
Album Of The Week 16) Kendrick Lamar - Good Kid, M.A.A.D City
Kendrick does it again nothing else needs to be said.
Album Of The Week 15) Gnarls Barkley - St. Elsewhere
Gnarls Barkley is a duo, that includes the producer Danger Mouse and the singer Cee Lo Green. St. Elsewhere was their first album. Most people know the song Crazy due to its commercial success. However not a lot of people have actually listened to the album that it belongs to. This album is very different then the norm. The production on this thing is amazing, I would expect it to be it is Danger Mouse. It blew a lot of people cause they haven't heard anything like and it sounds amazing. Danger Mouse did his part with experimenting with different sounds. Cee Lo Green also did his part with lyrics and vocals. The vocals are not that predictable. I also loved the lyrics that Cee Lo Green wrote. He tackled subject matters like suicide (Just A Thought), making sure you enjoy life (The Last Time) and many other interesting topics. This album in general is one big experiment gone perfectly. You can tell by just the genre people put this album under (soul, alternative rock, alternative hip hop). If you are into different music you will enjoy this album.
Favorite Song Of This Album: Just A Thought
Album Of The Week 14) Nirvana - Nevermind
This album is amazing. I went on a bike ride through town on this album the other day. It was perfect because it changes tempo pretty often. This album is great. I liked grunge after this album. Even though this album has a lot of elements from pop, those were only used to make the songs catchy. I also love the lyrics on this thing. This is one of the few albums that have an overall theme and an individual theme to each song. Also the subject matters that they touch on in this album are only touch by few others. I think the only other band that has come close to matching them as far as subject matter is Radiohead. These subject matters include society and not fitting in. And who doesn't get pump when they hear Smells Like Teen Spirit? Seriously? I would say this is a perfect album.
Favorite Song Of This Album: (This always changes but currently it is) Lithium
Album Of The Week 13) Audioslave - Audioslave
Audioslave is a rock super group. It is basically Soundgraden + Rage Against The Machine. This is their debut album. I think it is really good.
Album of the Week 12) Stevie Wonder - Innervisions
Sorry for not doing one of these in a while. I saw Stevie Wonder at Outside Lands 2012. His performance was amazing and made me listen to him more. I really like all his albums but I have this one on vinyl. This album has the highest musically and lyrical value possible. If you haven't heard this album, I seriously think you should reconsider your life. All the instruments used in the album are played at their best. Stevie pours his heart on the vocals in this album. An example of this is All in Love Is Fair. Subject matters on the album are interesting and vary. Overall a MUST listen.
Favorite Song of This Album: All in Love Is Fair
Album Of The Week 11) Daft Punk - Discovery
This album is one of the best in its genre. The reason is why I like it because it is not the same of electronic music. Daft Punk is always one step ahead of its competition because it adds complexity to their songs. Most artists in this genre just have one linear scheme where the song grows. It is cool but that gets old. Daft Punk doesn't have that linear scheme; they have it in small portions in their songs. However Daft Punk builds sideways with changing the beat or tempo completely, they also sometime just break everything down and rebuild. I also enjoy this album because of how flexible it is. You can study to it, read to it, get pumped up with it, party to it. All in the same album!
Favorite song off the album: This is a hard choice but I am going to with Digital Love.

Additional Information
Just like the adult version, the Rocky® Junior ProHunter Reversible Fleece Beanie is a great piece of hunting gear: it has smart and functional features.
With 40 grams of ThinsulateTM insulation, this kids' beanie keeps your child's head warm while walking through the woods or sitting in a tree stand. Keeping your child's head warm is vital during long hours outside, as you lose body heat through your head.
This knit hat also features Rocky SIQ AtomicTM. It helps control human odor on the microbial level so the young hunter's scent doesn't tip off your prey to your presence.
The hunting hat also is comfortable. The SilentHunter fleece of the beanie wicks moisture from the skin so the hunter isn't sweating in his cap. And, since this is fleece, the beanie is soft and warm.
As a bonus, this is a reversible beanie. One side is Realtree AP® camo; the other is blaze orange.

Tough Times: The Southeastern Economy in 2008
Little in the way of good news
In 2008 the southeastern economy struggled with many of the same problems that plagued the nation at large—financial market turmoil, housing market and credit crises, rising food and energy costs, and job losses. Indeed, when the United States officially entered recession in December 2007, according to the National Bureau of Economic Research, the Southeast's economy dipped below its worst performance during the past two recessions, as measured by the Atlanta Fed's D6 Factor (chart 7). Based on twenty-five monthly data series, the D6 Factor is a composite indicator of economic activity in the six southeastern states.
As the national and global economies worsened through 2008, so did the region's. After falling lower in December 2007 than the lows recorded during the 1991 and 2001 recessions, the D6 Factor index tumbled an additional 3.1 points through December 2008.
Economic factors that had buoyed the region's economy in previous years began to crumble. Southeastern employment in 2008 fell for the first time in five years, and by the third quarter the unemployment rate was at its highest level since the 1991 recession.
Some housing markets showed signs of stabilizing late in the year, but a fast recovery appeared unlikely. Tourism and exports, two relative bright spots in 2008, may fare less well if the strengthening of the dollar and the global economic slowdown that began late in 2008 continue. On the upside, plans for expansion in auto and aerospace manufacturing should help bolster the Southeast's economy in 2009.
Economics is often called the dismal science, and that epithet was especially deserved in 2008. In the Southeast as elsewhere, 2008 was as dismal economically as any year in recent memory. Neither the Atlanta Fed economists nor most others foresee a quick rebound from this recession. Yet the core resilience of the U.S. economy combined with the regenerative capacity of the financial system should ultimately carry us through these trying times.

Is Your Pediatrician a Perv?
Recent cases of pediatricians and child porn have us concerned.
Twin brothers in Ohio became pediatricians, then began allegedly sexually abusing their patients. Now a grand jury has handed down indictments against the twins on a total of 76 charges. Some of the sex charges involve minors between 13 and 16 -- some involve younger children. In a new court document released yesterday, investigators accuse the brothers of performing sex acts on the patients, taking their photos, getting them hooked on prescriptions like Oxycodone, Percocet and Xanax, and then paying those to keep quiet.
The alleged incidents occurred between 1987 and 2008.
Last year, a couple remodeling their basement in West Hartford, Conn. uncovered 50,000 slides and 100 8-mm films of naked children. (See photo below.) They allegedly belonged to previous homeowner Dr. George Reardon, who died in 1998. Dr. Reardon was formerly an endocrinologist specializing in childhood sexual development. In 1995, he agreed to give up his license to practice after numerous complaints that he abused and photographed children.
Ohio pediatrician Dr. Robert V. Reinhold was charged in 2008 with child pornography after more than 1,700 images of minors in various stages of undress were found in his desk. That same year, Dr. Jacques Lemire, a San Diego pediatrician, was sentenced to 15 months in prison after pleading guilty to possession of child pornography.
Should we leave our kids alone with their pediatrician? Pediatrician Dr. Gwenn says kids under 16 are typically accompanied in the exam room by a parent. If your teen feels uncomfortable with you in the room during the physical exam, you can always step out for that portion. If you are uncomfortable leaving your teen alone with the doctor, Dr. Gwenn says you can request that a nurse be present in the exam room in your absence. Dr. Gwenn also says a doctor should never take photos of your child without your knowledge or permission. "Occasionally, I'll ask a patient's parent if I can take a picture of a rare rash, for instance, but I always have the parents sign a photo release and ask them to be present while I photograph the child," she says. "Photos taken behind closed doors without a release form signal that something is just not right here."
Most pediatricians are nice and normal and trustworthy. Thankfully, cases like these are very rare...but they do happen. If your gut is telling you something's not right, ask questions. Remember: You are your child's number-one advocate.

It's a profession that is a pedophiles dreams. It's really disgusting to see things like this pop up.
The saddest part of this is it happens everyday and not just in that profession, it seems like priests, school officials (teachers etc) and anyone else that a child might feel like they are safe with should at least be looked at with your eyes wide open, what happened to the good old days
I was abused by a teen cousin. I had flashbacks well into adulthood even though I had only "windows" of memory of the events, as I was barely two years old when it happened. Those flashbacks used to make me keel over with pain and shame.
the good old days? no such thing! this has been happening since "the good old days" as well. it's sick and it's sad because children should be protected and safe. i'm sorry you had to go through that anonymous, my mother was extremely cautious with me and my sisters because of what she experienced. you have to be a little paranoid at any time when it comes to the safety of your kids.
how do you do what you do till you you do what you do till its done?

Physical Education is a course which utilizes a play or movement exploration setting for the transmission of physical knowledge and skills to an individual or a group, the application of these skills, and their results.
The purpose of physical education involves more than training the body, or physical fitness, but is based on the understanding that fitness and physical training helps the mind. For young children play has been recognized as a valuable, even essential, component of learning.

Most of our CDs have been imported from Europe or Asia. They are not all shrink-wrapped, and I am not going to con you by wrapping them here just to make you think they have been sterilized in America. I guarantee that the CDs and the contents are all brand new and in perfect condition. Whenever I can, I use recycled shipping materials. They may not look as pretty on the outside, but they save money and keep the trash dumps a little bit emptier.

Amigo Musik, Sweden
One of the key labels for Swedish folk and new acoustic music, as well as some jazz, avant garde and world music.
Vagen in (The Way In) - Mats Eden + Tina Quartey $18.99(cdRoots# amigo-vagen)
Vägen in presents fiddler Mats Edén and percussionist Tina Quartey in a stunning duet debut. Mats' life-long Värmland traditions and his new interest in neighboring Norwegian melodies is a remarkably intuitive fit for Tina's explorations in Afro-Cuban and Brazilian percussion. With their backgrounds in groundbreaking ensembles like Frifot, Groupa and Filarfolket, it is no surprise that what they deliver is innovative music, challenging and yet deeply rooted in tradition.

Thrashers general manager Don Waddell claimed a report that negotiations with star player Ilya Kovalchuk were at an impasse is "certainly false."
"[Kovalchuk's agent] Jay [Grossman] is actually coming in here [Saturday] and we'll meet again," Waddell said Thursday. "We will continue our talks. They have been really positive. I have not seen a sign yet that we aren't going to be able to get this deal done."
A report out of Kovalchuk's native Russia said that contract talks have stalled after the team balked at a 10-year, $11.5 million per year deal. The report also stated that Waddell is considering trade options and that Vancouver and Los Angeles are interested.
"We like our hockey team," Waddell said. "At this point I can honestly say that I haven't talked to one team about a trade. Why even start that because our goal is to get this player signed."
Waddell said he thought the next month of negotiations would be critical.
"We can't be talking about this in February," he said.
Waddell said contract talks currently revolve around the length of a new deal for Kovalchuk, who will become an unrestricted free agent in July. He said the deal will be a long-term contract.
"When you are doing a deal of this magnitude, it's not a player signing, it's a partnership," he said. "You are going to line up with someone for multiple, multiple years, it's got to be a fit – for both parties."
Waddell again reiterated that Kovalchuk is pleased with the direction of the team. However, he did acknowledge that there is a lot of work to be done.
"After you get done with all the other aspects of the deal, the financial aspect is the biggest decision that has to be made," Waddell said. "It's not just Kovy's [salary] number, it's how we keep this team together."
The maximum salary a player can receive is 20 percent of the league salary cap. That figure would be $11.3 million a season as the cap currently stands.
"There hasn't been any breakdown in communications," Waddell said. "We talk quite a bit. As long as I don't get the sense that they are closing the door. That's a different story."

Talk about roller coaster rides! The Thrashers won an overtime game on home ice in their All Hallows Eve uniforms after surrendering the tying marker in the final two minutes. A Thrasher netminder allowed almost half a dozen goals but won. The same Thrasher that scored the go-ahead shorthanded goal netted the winner in overtime. That same Thrasher leads all NHL players in the winning goal category. This was a nice one after the Thrashers failed to collect any points in the previous bout south of the Georgia border. Way to go Thrashers. No. I do not expect Captain Ilya Kovalchuk to stay in a Thrasher uniform. Just my opinion. Good night all. ++STENDEC++

Trade him and get Kopitar or the Sedin brothers…Kovy can't carry this team by himself and the salary hit will mean that he will have to. I don't know how you pay someone max $ if he won't even try to backcheck.
December 17th, 2009
10:21 pm
What a load of crap!!! Don Waddell makes me look like an honest to goodness saint with the crap he spews! "We can't be talking about this come February." Gee, where and from whom have we heard this line of bull before? You've got to be kidding me. Time for Waddell to grow a pair!
Kovy thinks there's still some work left to be done??? Yeah, on his game! How about actually trying to hit someone, other than your teammate Thorburn while on offense, during a game?? How about using your 225 lb frame to make a difference when back-checking instead of reaching with your stick when you're right on top of someone? How about using your speed to crash the net and set up your teammates with some juicy rebounds or cross-crease feeds?
Peverley made you look like a fraud tonite Kovy.
December 17th, 2009
10:41 pm
I have to agree with everyone, Don Waddell is not an honest man in the very least. Why he is still GM here is unreal, he is just so dishonest and has zero hockey knowledge. Please Don, resign and go away forever, that would a great Christmas present for all hockey fans around the world !

Chris-Think you can track down Jay Grossman for a quick interview this weekend? Would like to here his current PR take on the negotiations.
December 17th, 2009
10:59 pm
Chris – can you follow up by seeking an interview with Grossman when he is town? Just confirming that he is actually in town would be useful.
Jon stole my thunder. Would you trade Kovy for 3 Peverly's? I would probably trade him for 2. That being said I would still like to see him re-signed for the sake of the franchise. If Kovy leaves the team won't be far behind him.
DW's story doesn't hold any water. I've heard "were working on the length" for months. That part should take minutes … "what term would you like Kovy?" Ok, done.
December 17th, 2009
11:01 pm
Darkhorse – glad to know that great minds think alike
December 17th, 2009
11:14 pm
Chris, I too would like to see you track down Grossman but at the same time the only news we are going to here on this is either:
a) Kovalchuk is signed or
b) Kovalchuk is traded
and there won't be a bit mentioned otherwise. Anything else is going to be the same PR stuff that we always hear.
Quite a game tonight. What a way to break the maroon jinx.
December 17th, 2009
11:19 pm
If Waddell is lying to all of us about the likelihood of Kovy staying here, is that really his fault? Isn't he beholden to what the boys with the cash (or lack of it), Atlanta Spirit Group, tell him to do? Of course he is.
Regarding this particular situation (and not many others), Waddell is not a fool. He knows the fans want to keep Kovalchuk. He would gladly bring Kovy back at that max price. It might not be the best thing for the team to pay so much to Kovy (and the spin will certainly be just that if Kovy is traded), but most fans won't believe it. They'll demand Waddell's head and wonder why the owners cheaped out on $1.5 million per season.
December 17th, 2009
11:21 pm
What do you expect for DW to say? That the negotiations are going like crap? The team cannot afford 20% of their cap to one guy or what? I am not saying DW is an awesome GM but do you really think any GM in any sports would show their hand so to speak???
I agree that February may be too late, as to what return on a unsigned player for next season? Hard to say but forget the top talent on another team!!!! A collection of solid talent and draft pics is more likely
December 17th, 2009
11:26 pm
Wow, it sounds as if Earl of Bud is taking over Chris's job and he can even predict the future.
Besides, I haven't heard any comment on the Kovalchuk contract negotiations from Grossman yet. All we hear is Waddell moving the deadline further and further back. Isn't that a surprise.
December 17th, 2009
11:27 pm
Thrashy – while that does make sense, we just have to accept the fact that we won't know anything until something actually happens (again, if he is either signed or traded). And that we may never know what happened behind the scenes (is it the Spirit, is it Kovalchuk, who called it off). Until then the same questions will be asked and the same answers will be given.
I am already sick of it because as each day goes by the chance of him not signing gets greater.
The interesting thing is to compare this to other FAs that signed. I know Ovechkin had a long negotiating period like this. But normally it ends up like a Bouwmeester/Hossa/Campbell situation where if they don't sign by a certain date it ain't happening. Can anyone think of a case besides Ovechkin where the negotiating period was this long and the player did sign? The other thing too is that between Bouwmeester/Hossa a lot of those players never had the heart for the city they were in or with Campbell mgt came out and said they weren't likely to re-sign. That felt different with Kovalchuk and between Atlanta and Buffalo I have experienced this a lot.
December 17th, 2009
11:30 pm
"Wow, it sounds as if Earl of Bud is taking over Chris's job and he can even predict the future."
R. Stroz, why do you care about me so much? How is it you claim to know who I am? Don't you have anything better to do with your life than call the Director of Sales Service and Retention about me? LOL. What did they even say when you called them?
December 17th, 2009
11:40 pm
Earl of Bud I've been lamenting over you for years now. I've been following you all over internet. I know what your other name is on the Falconer's blog. I also know your real name is Lorenzo Chizzlechest. I know where you work. You can push me away but I will keeping spending my days and nights reading all your posts. I will even call the director of subscriptions renewals for the AJC and complain about you.
December 17th, 2009
11:44 pm
Oh great, now there's two of them obsessed with me.
December 17th, 2009
11:44 pm
R. Stroz, why do you care about me so much?
Well Brian, I don't.
Don't you have anything better to do with your life than call the Director of Sales Service and Retention about me?
Hey stupid, you just told everyone you're Brian again. LMAO.

I'm sure we'd all like to see this contract done already. I'm sure we're all feeling angst and concern that it's even taken this long. It is very disconcerting that Waddell's statement of, "I don't think we'll be talking about this at Christmas" has turned into thinking that the next month of negotiations would be critical. Well, please BEEE HONEST. Shouldn't he have been thinking that back in July? Because Waddell could have said to Kovy, at that point, if you don't re-sign by July 14, 2009, we're trading you. I realize, that sounds harsh and mean-spirited, and rings like an ultimatum. Be hear me out, okay?
Now, I hear you. Don't think I don't. "Hasn't Kovy earned the right to take a 'wait-n-see' approach before committing to something longterm?" See, I agree with that sentiment. However, couldn't a 1-year "band-aid" approach been worked out on say, July 5th? Or 10th? Or 15th? Couldn't Kovy and Waddell agree to take THE WHOLE YEAR to evaluate the team? See, 'cuz makes a whole lot more sense to me. The whole issue of "will he or won't he" is postponed until July 1, 2011. It's not a FOOLPROOF solution, mind you. But I think it's a little better than the situation we have now. We don't truly know, other than to take the GM at his word, that this contract is progressing nicely and will get done soon. It's a little unusual to take this approach of 'wait-n-see,' if both sides are truly EAGER to re-sign. It's risky. Couldn't both parties have just reached a 1-year deal during the offseason, so that this talk could be avoided? Bygones.
My 'panic' date is on or about January 24, 2010. To hear Waddell actually utter the words, "We can't be talking about this in February" does raise some flags. But I repeat, I'm not panicking yet. If Kovy needs half the season to make up his mind, I guess I can live with that. But his actions will speak louder than any of his words. And the action that matters … is just a signature.
There is one Kovalchuk quote from back in April that bothers me. No, it's not the "We have to bring in Free Agents and compete for the Cup next season. I think the fans in the City of Atlanta deserve that." Though, those remarks are troublesome, on the heels of a 78-point season. It's this quote, "I have to do what the little slip of paper says." The slip of paper is his contract. There is no ambiguity about that. So, what was Kovalchuk implying with those remarks? If it was, "Do whatever you want. I'm cool with anything you choose. Trade me, now. Trade me, later. Trade me at the deadline. Or Don't trade me. I'm happy to play out the season, since that's what my contract says I have to do." Then that is troubling, my friends.
But we're not there yet. If Grossman comes into town on Saturday, and there's a deal announced Monday night, during the Canadiens game, we'll all have a very Merry Christmas. As well as a good hearty chuckle over this whole situation.
December 17th, 2009
11:48 pm
I guess I just find it hard to believe that Don Waddell is the only villain conspiring to destroy the Thrashers. Maybe I need to loosen the screws in my brain, but Waddell's first impulse has always been to do whatever he's told. He's a survivor. He's a bureaucrat who knows how to please his overlords.
(Of course, when he's left to his own devices, Don fields a team of 5′9″ guys who think a "backcheck" is something you go to a chiropractor for.)
December 17th, 2009
11:50 pm
Brian / EOB? This is God. I want you to stop pretending to be Lorenzo Chizzlechest. It is in bad taste and it is making Lo crazy. You need to stop being such a know-it-all too. For those who are meek, for they shall inherit the blogging kingdom's gold.
Anyway, who died and made this ass-clown Don Waddell king? Dudley needs to put some roofies in his third drink during the 3rd period and then hold a press conference calling Kovy's bluff. For blessed are the humble, they shall inherit the Cup of Hockey Greatness.
December 17th, 2009
11:53 pm
This last summer, I stated that Waddell had NEVER been able to re-sign a top tier UFA. To date, he still hasn't. Lets hope he does before Christmas. My greatest concern is Waddell keeps moving the deadline date as the prior dealine date approaches.
In addition to re-signing Kovy, I'd like to see Kubina and Max signed shortly after the beginning of the year.
If we could only trade Todd White for a bag of pucks.
Did anyone else notice that Little was demoted to the fourth line tonight? I'd demote White before Little.
December 17th, 2009

I'm God, how in heaven did I make a typo!!? Well, even God has his off days during the long grind of the Christmas season.
Blessed are the aggressive and unrelenting backcheckers, for they shall be granted access to the sacred ground of postseason play.

11:57 pm
R. Stroz, YOU said you were going to call the Thrashers about me, about my employee tickets, YET I DON'T HAVE ANY so how can you use that as proof of something that doesn't even exist? Please, tell everyone on this blog how you think that I am Brian.
December 18th, 2009
12:01 am
Ok, Kovalchuk isn't going to sign here and this is the state of the hockey blog. Instead of talking about hockey let's just have R. Stroz play his games. From now on, no more talk about hockey. Let's just ruin the blog and turn this into endless name calling.
If R. Stroz wants to ruin this I can go along with it. I am more than happy to play along. So R. Stroz, tell us about your knowledge of hockey. When will you turn 12? Did you get your first pimple yet? Come on everyone, join in.
December 18th, 2009
12:05 am
This is a great idea. We can post for hours about this. Hockey is leaving Atlanta. Kovalchuk is not going to sign here. This city can't support a team. Arena is empty. Fans won't show up. No one knows anything about the game. The owners are cheap and won't spend the money to attract top talent to the city. Franchise is moving to Calgary. They can support two teams better than we can support one.
December 18th, 2009
12:07 am
Kovalchuk isn't going to sign. It's plain and simple. The team is dead. I heard Kansas City has already contacted the Atlanta Spirit about buying the team. Their building is completely empty right now but we still don't have more fans than they do. Hockey is going to leave again.
December 18th, 2009
12:09 am
When the team leaves this time it is not coming back. We were lucky that we got a second chance but we will never be given a third chance. Even Gary Bettman isn't that stupid. He will finally realize he should have never put an NHL team in Atlanta again.
December 18th, 2009
12:14 am
The problem is that there aren't enough northern transplants. The NHL saw the large influx of people from the North moving to Atlanta and thought this would be a good city for hockey. But it's going to take a full generation of people here now to forget their old teams and have their children like the new team in Atlanta. Southerners have shown that they won't watch the game enough over NASCAR. Maybe in another generation when all the northern transplants have their kids grow up and be native to Atlanta they will support a team because we can't. Of course if they are growing up here they might turn out to be like all the other people who grew up here and don't support the team.
December 18th, 2009
12:16 am
Sigh. I think everyone is permitted to have a dissenting opinion. My opinion is this: Hockey will survive in Atlanta with or without Kovalchuk. Wins put fannies in seats. And even if they don't, there's always the fans of the opposing team to buy tickets. In a city of over 5 million, the opposition only needs to draw 12,000 to make hockey viable, through revenue-sharing dollars. There will always be 3,000 or so season ticket holders, who would buy seats to the Thrashers if they couldn't beat an ECHL team.
December 18th, 2009
12:22 am
Someone's having a meltdown. LOL.
Kovy has seen too many years of Waddell's smurf forwards and over-the-hill defensemen.
Lets hope Dudley can convince Kovy to stay while he continues to build a NHL team capable of winning in the playoffs.
December 18th, 2009
12:27 am
Hey! It's R. Stroz! So, are you going to tell us why you think I am some other guy? Or are you going to duck & run? Are you so infatuated with me that you are going to call the Thrashers and complain? Did you really spend time out of you own day making a phone call about some poster from an AJC blog? LOSER!
December 18th, 2009
12:31 am
"Kovy has seen too many years of Waddell's smurf forwards and over-the-hill defensemen."
R. Stroz, it seems that you don't know anything about the sport so let me explain something to you. We have 1 defenseman over the age of 30, his name is Pavel Kubina and he is only 32. Kovalchuk can't be sick of any of them for being too old. Our forwards are by no means "smurfs".
I am sure that you just dream up things after reading some of your posts, but I will just set the record straight for those fans that choose to be informed about the sport.
December 18th, 2009
12:34 am
R. Stroz, I gotta ask again, did you really spend time out of you own day making a phone call about some poster from an AJC blog? Who is this guy that you think I am that you got your panties in a wad so badly? I gotta meet him.
December 18th, 2009
12:34 am
EOB – You really need to address your need for attention issues with a psychiatrist in private. This is a hockey blog.
December 18th, 2009
12:42 am
"EOB – You really need to address your need for attention issues with a psychiatrist in private. This is a hockey blog."
AH, the name calling. So R. Stroz, if this is a hockey blog, why all the posts about things like what you think my name is, where you think I worked, telling the entire blog how you called the THRASHERS THEMSELVES complaining about me, or at least who you think I am.
Besides, did it ever occur to you that YOU are the one that gives me all the attention? I mean how more more attention can you possibly give me other than the fact that you claim to know who I am on not just this blog, but on other message boards of other forums? Why do you spend so much time thinking about me? Why do you give me so much attention? Are you old enough to get a girlfriend yet? How many message boards do you visit wondering if I am on them?
December 18th, 2009
12:47 am
So R. Stroz, since you think about me so much, what else do you think you know about me? Tell the entire blog how you keep careful track of the minutia of details of the very life you think I lead. Everyone's been reading your posts about me, why do pay SO much attention to me by listing all these things? And who is this guy that you think I am? Why do follow him around so much? Why are you so infatuated with him? Is this how you spend your time in study hall, thinking about some guy?
Do tell. And then say more things about me, I like the attention you give me. It's actually comical that someone who only knows me from an internet blog spends so much time thinking about me. Well, it's creepy, but still comical.
December 18th, 2009
12:50 am
One more time R. Stroz, did you really waste time out of your own day to call the Atlanta Thrashers and talk to them about who you think I am and that my fictitious employee tickets should be taken away from me? LOL. You're a loser if you spent a second out of your personal life away from this blog thinking about me.
December 18th, 2009
1:01 am
Dudley was running the show when Kubina was brought into the fold. Dudley was hired June 23, 2009. Exelby was traded for Kubina on July 1, 2009.
Waddell was responsible for Ken Klee, Jaroslav Modry, Uwe Krupp….just a sampling of over the hill defensemen.
Waddell was responsible for Niko Kapanen, Todd White, Glen Metroplit, Eric Perrin…just a sampling of smurfs.
Too bad you can't see Dudley's imprint on the team. A good fan would cheer for Dudley to succeed where Waddell has failed for so long.
December 18th, 2009
1:03 am
I would guess that if Waddell can't get a deal done with Kovy that it would probably mean the end of his tenure in Atl…unless Kovy is dead set on going back to Russia.
I am worried – almost panicked. I love the Thrash but feel like, to date, the hard times have been plentiful. Things are looking bright but, as an Atlanta sports fan, that's the time you start looking for a catastrophe. Don't mean to be a pessimist but it just seems to be setting up for some major disappointment. I hope I'm wrong…
December 18th, 2009
1:06 am
Wow R. Stroz, are you aware that all but one of those players are no longer on the team? So Dudley was hired on June 23 and it was all his work to pull off a trade 1 week later. Even if that were true, that's the big imprint on this team?
So let's get back to why you spend so much time thinking about me. How did you conclude that you think you know what my name is? Why do you think you know where I work? Who is this guy you think I am? Why do you spend time out of your personal life combing the blogs trying to pick out names that I, the Earl of Bud, am using? How do you match me to these names? Do you ever measure the number of minutes per day that you spend on activities that involve my life? How many others are there like me that you think about in your personal time?
December 18th, 2009
1:11 am
There you have it, how to annoy the blog troll.
The guy is so obsessed about being called out, he can't discuss hockey, poor troll.
December 18th, 2009
1:11 am
R. Stroz, when you think about me, what do I look like? Do you dream about me with black hair, blonde hair, or do you envision me as a redhead? What kind of build do I have when you close your eyes and think about me? What other names do you give me? Why did you pick me, the Earl of Bud, out of all the other posters on this blog? What do I say that compels you to comb the internet looking for information about me?
December 18th, 2009
1:13 am
Wow R. Stroz, are you aware that all but one of those players are no longer on the team?
Todd White is no longer on the team. That's great news, incorrect, but great if it were true.
December 18th, 2009
1:15 am
"The guy is so obsessed about being called out, he can't discuss hockey, poor troll."
But R. Stroz, everyone on this blog has read your entries about me. It was not I who started talking about me, it was YOU! YOU are the one who named me, who started talking about where you think I work, you posted a name that you think I have, you even went so far as to say that you called the Atlanta Thrashers Director of Sales Service and Retention to talk about some guy that you think I am. What does any of that have to do with hockey? Nothing. But it was YOU who did all those things. YOU wanted to make this blog about me. And the greatest thing is, you don't even know who I am. Yet you are so obsessed with talking about me instead of hockey that you talk about all those things. And all the other posters read what you said R. Stroz, so you can't deny it.
December 18th, 2009
1:15 am
Wow, talk about creepy, EOB sounds like a real homo.
December 18th, 2009
1:17 am
Wow R. Stroz, are you aware that all but one of those players are no longer on the team?
Todd White is no longer on the team. That's great news, incorrect, but great if it were true.
R. Stroz, I said "all BUT ONE". Todd White would be THE ONE that is still on the team.
If you didn't spend so much time thinking about me, imagining things about me, you would be able to think more clearly.
So what else do you think about concerning me? Do dream about what kind of car I drive? Am I an SUV type or sportscar? Please don't tell me you picture me on the hood. How did you come up with this name for me?

Day 3 and 4 : Favorite monster and Favorite mini boss
porings angeling deviling mastering, they're all my life and all my childhood
porings porings porings
#ro art challenge #submissions #ragnarok online #submission
Day 3 and 4 : Favorite monster and Favorite mini boss
porings angeling deviling mastering, they're all my life and all my childhood
porings porings porings
Day 2 : First character ever made (as far back as you can remember)
My first character was a mage named Bluesnow, on fRO the french official server 4 or 5 years ago (which is euRO now), I remember that I used all the free kafra tansportation tickets, and that I saved at Umbala because I thought I needed to save before closing the game LOL
I delete her and remade this character again lol
Day 1 : Draw yourself as an RO class/NPC
I choose acolyte because it's one of the class in which you have the whole body covered with clothes lol, because I love magic classes and supporting, the sad thing is when you're running out of sp while healing or heal bombing( and you can't regen because you carry too much items lol )
Day 2: First Character Ever Made
After a long hiatus here it FINALLY IS. LOL. This character has been remade thank god, but her original name was Kurai. Hurhurhur. Made back when RO was still FREE and in testing still! I had no idea how to stat her so she had pretty even stats all around… So terrible… A HUNTER WITH STR, THAT'S COOL RIGHT?! At least she could still kick ass with a dagger… I guess… No not really…
#1 - Day 1: Draw Yourself as an RO Class/NPC
I know it's not really good (I suck at drawing~), but I'd be a acolyte. It's my favorite class and I love to support people also I don't like fighting. :)
Ragnarok Online 30 Day Challenge - Day 4
Favorite Mini boss - ok here's my favorite mini boss. the Dolor of Thanatos. because.. it's FAT. and reminds me of cubone somehow. plus I even have it's headgear (drooping dolor) several years ago! it's just so adorable.
Ragnarok Online 30 Day Art Challenge - Day 3
Favorite Monster - okay, i can't draw just one. I love all the ragnarok monsters (for being beautifully designed and animated) but these two takes the lead. succubus is my first favorite. when gravity patched the new map, pouring wins my heart. making a liquid inside a bubble like exterior is pretty challenging.
Ragnarok Online 30 day Art Challenge - Day 2
First character ever made. well, I made this back in 6th grade when RO got released in my country. yes, I paid to play. actually several times my friend paid it for me to accompany her. her name is kiria, the arrow shower archer because she loves arrow showers. maxed it first because she thinks defeating mobs is better and quicker than 1vs1. apparently I discarded her and made an acolyte due to the many deaths I suffered (duh). the sakkat was my prized possession because I bought it with the little money I had despite the need to buy arrows.
Ragnarok Online 30 day Art Challenge - Day 1
draw myself as an RO class/NPC. basically, I'll be anything on the merchant tree because one thing I love in MMOs are vending. blacksmiths are too macho and sexy for me, I'm not even THAT strong. so I choose the creator. I love acid bombs and pets that can fight. totally the class for me.

good stay true jason ...peace
Thx kr46! I don't plan on changing it, don't think it would be possible. Lol
I do want to add some strengths to it. I am so happy people like it. I am actually
enjoying my own voice now. You know how it is when you first hear your own voice.
It is somewhat odd.
hey jason i think you have a signature to your voice, changing it would be a shame...peace bro
I really only used a couple seconds of effects. I did it because the parts seemed bland. I get what you are saying though. I think as my voice improves the effects will go away. I am going to take vocal lessons as soon as I get some money together.
really great work guys!!!! the backing track is superb!!! love it...reminds me of the who.....but i must admit the effects on the vocals don't quite work fer me......everythiing else is terrific......to me its a 60's like track and the vocal effect isn't
still great
Really is a great track, I love it!! It's great to hear three different people working so well together to create a cool piece of music
:-) german great-ings!
Than you CHOKmool! It means so much coming from such an HONESt person as yourself.
I have to get used to hearing different vocals over it, but I like it.
Nothing Left is good too.
Looks like you're progressing well.
Thx kr46, I remember the first time someone sang my lyrics, a very moving experience.
It was what made me start singing my own lyrics. Around the same time I started learning guitar.
wow couldn't be better ,its nice to hear someone else'e interpretation of your lyrics and you got it spot on jason,,CHOKMOL awesome what can i say an outstanding contributin thank you.....peace you guys
this shits awesome

General Electric Co. (GE) has recalled upgrade kits for hospital equipment used to resuscitate newborn babies, saying that use of the systems could put infants at serious risk.
GE Healthcare began reaching out to customers on Oct. 15 to correct system-upgrade kits for resuscitation equipment used with Giraffe and Panda infant warmers. The Giraffe and Panda equipment is used by hospitals to weigh and warm newborn babies, and includes equipment to provide oxygen if needed.
The company said that the oxygen and air wall inlet fittings, as well as the labels on the back panel, may have been reversed during assembly. As a result, the mix of air and oxygen could potentially be reversed, meaning a setting of 100% oxygen might only deliver 21% oxygen, and vice versa.
GE is publicizing the recall now in response to a U.S. Food and Drug Administration decision to classify it as a Class 1 recall, said GE spokeswoman Annette Busateri.
The FDA names recalls as Class 1 when there is a "reasonable probability that the use of or exposure to the violative product will cause serious adverse health consequences or death."
No injuries have been reported in connection with the issue.
The resuscitation system upgrades kits were manufactured from April 2008 to Sept. 2012. GE said that customers have been given instructions to allow hospital personnel to immediately inspect and mitigate the problem. Around 89% of the identified customer sites have been inspected by GE engineers. The remaining unconfirmed customers are being contacted and scheduled for inspection, the company said.
A separate piece of the Giraffe and Panda resuscitation unit was recalled in June. GE said a T-piece circuit used with the equipment was not able to achieve the maximum inspiratory pressure. That recall was also classified by the FDA as Class 1, and was made public in December.

APCI-Compliant/Windows 7
Hello Everyone,
I have been struggling with an issue with my HP Pavilion m7457c Desktop since loading Windows 7 64-bit Enterprise. This was a fresh full load not an upgrade. The system performs excellent without any issue until I attempt to install additional memory.
Initially I had 2GB RAM installed (2x1GB) - I am attempting to add 2GB additional.
With only 2GB installed, I have no issues and the system is stable without any issues.
If I attempt to install additional memory - I get a BSoD and an error indicating that my BIOS is not APCI-Compliant and to contact the manufacturer for a BIOS update. Unfortunately, HP is not indicating that they have a BIOS update available for this model.
Additionally, in order to confirm that I was not dealing with a memory speed/mis-match issue, I installed 4GB of new RAM (all the same) - works with 2GB of the new RAM but not with either 3GB or 4GB.
Btw, the BIOS does see the full memory (2GB, 3GB or 4GB) with each attempt I tried, Windows 7 seems to be where the issue occurs during startup.
Any thoughts/assistance is greatly appreciated!!

Can you rule out the possibility of bad slots? Try installing the RAM in the 2 slots you don't normally use, and boot up.

Thanks - my apologies that I didn't indicate in my prior post. Yes, I did attempt to put the memory in the other slots. Same result. It only seems to occur when I go beyond 2GB installed.
|My System Specs
|06 Feb 2010
Win7 x64 + x86
The fact that you get a BSOD seems to indicate that Windows has started to load - so I wonder if this is truly a BIOS issue.
When you put all the RAM in, can you get into the BIOS (press F10 as the HP screen comes up)?
Once in the BIOS, is all 4 gB of RAM recognized?
What OS did you have on it before installing Windows 7? If possible, can you restore it to the previous OS to see if the problem still exists there? If it does, then it's most likely a hardware issue. If not, then we'll have to work on why Windows 7 won't operate with it.

The Kings loaned defenseman Derek Forbort and center NIck Shore to the Manchester (N.H.) Monarchs of the American Hockey League, cutting their training-camp roster to 29.
Tag Archives: Nick Shore
Three things about two Kings losses in two exhibitions in two different cities
The Kings lost both split-squad games Sunday night to the Phoenix Coyotes. The Staples Center squad fell 5-1 and the Glendale, Ariz., lineup lost 4-2. Here are three things to take away from the Kings' first exhibitions of 2013-14:
Takeaways from the Kings' rookie game win over the Ducks (part 2)
The Kings rookies defeated their Ducks counterparts 3-2 on Monday in El Segundo, taking a hard-hitting victory in the second of two games over their rivals. Here's what stood out most of all in a well-played and very well-attended game:
Second, there aren't too many job openings on the Kings' roster this season (as in, maybe none) and it's likely many of their rookies are years away from being ready to play in the NHL but there were several players who looked sharp. Jordan Weal was one. Nick Shore was another. Alex Roach was a third. An old scout told me you look for players who make things happen during a game. Those three were active participants, rather than observers during Monday's game. The puck seemed to follow them around the ice.
Goaltender Christopher Gibson leads six Kings picks on Day 2.
Christopher Gibson, a goaltender from the Chicoutimi Sagueneens of the QMJHL, became the Kings' first pick at the Entry Draft Saturday, going 49th overall in the second round.
Gibson has an interesting background: His father Peter Gibson, a martial arts instructor, was born in England. His mother, Ulla Perttilahti, is Finnish. Gibson grew up in Karkkila, Finland, but at age 15 left for North America to play hockey.
In his second major junior season, Gibson fnished first in the QMJHL with a .920 save percentage and second with a 2.42 goals-against average last season. In four playoff games, those numbers dipped to .865 and 5.20, but he was good enough to become the third goalie drafted this year (Magnus Hellberg went to Nashville at #38 and John Gibson went to Anaheim at #39).
The scouting report on Gibson is that he uses his 6-foot-1 frame and positioning to cut down on opposing shooters' angles.
The Kings used their final five picks to select center Andy Andreoff (third round, 80th overall), left wing Nick Shore (third round, 82nd overall), left wing Michael Mersch (fourth round, 110th overall), left wing Joel Lowry (fifth round, 140th overall) and left wing Michael Schumacher (seventh round, 200th overall).

Never Going Home3 Reviews
Okay. Frankie's POV and the only part of 5, you go on and enjoy yourself.
Frankie's P.O.V.
After the doctor told me I was allowed to leave, I did. I did not hesitate. I did not ask if I'd need to do anything specific when I got home, I seriously didn't care. I was so sick of the never ending boredom.
As Gerard was driving me down to his house, I began to dread the thought of going back to my own home. Not only would I be reminded of... what I did, but I'd be reminded of the things that drove me to do it. Between Ray, and Gerard, and the hurt and regret for all the dumb shit I've done... I just don't want like thinking about it. It scare me to think that I'd be walking down the hallways I wanted so badly to burn. Drinking the water I wished I'd drown in. Sitting in the room where I almost died. Truth is, I scare myself. I'm lying when I smile. Or I'm just going fuckig nuts. And the only person I can trust is Gerard. And I knew he wouldn't want a suicidal little girl in the house all the time. So I wasn't about to ask to stay with him.
"We're home." Gerard said as he pulled into his driveway.
I snapped out of my daze when he said that. We're... Home? Like, the place I live? Or the place he lives, and he wants it to be my home? Or it's just his home and that's what he's saying so I get out of his damn car?
"Home?" I asked with a puzzled look on my face.
"Yeah, Frankie. Home. You know... The house you live in..." He chuckled.
"My place?" I asked, still pretty fucking confused.
"No... Um... I was actually wondering if you'd want to live with me..." He said, looking down a little.
"Of course, Gee!" I said, a little to excited.
"Good..." He chuckled, and got out of the car. Is it bad that I'm staring at his ass right now? No... I don't think so... Maybe... I'm not sure... Hey, if I don't mind, and he doesn't know, I guess it's all good.
I wasn't far behind him, and I kind of wanted to tackle him when he got inside. What the fuck is wrong with me today? I mean, first I'm staring at his ass, now I'm wishing we were on a football team. I blame him. He give me a reason to look at think, so, is it really that bad? That and I'm dating him...
"What's got your attention, Frank?" Gerard said with a smirk.
"Um... Nothing... Er... Nevermind." I answered, rubbing the back of my neck.
"You sure?" He said in a whisper, dragging his index finger down the front of my chest.
I just squeaked. I couldn't think of a better responce than something that really wasn't a responce. Well, in all honesty, I just couldn't think at all...
"I believe I asked you a question..." He sang, eyeing me up.
"I believe I can't give you an answer." I answered, and my stomach lurched when he grabbed my belt buckle. Oh shit... He wants to do this... You're ready Frankie... It's okay... He's not going to hurt you if you don't want to... Why shouldn't you want to? It wasn't just yesterday when Kyle was around. Grow the fuck up! It's not all about you.
"But Frankie..." He mewled at me, pouting.
"G-Gee..." I said, giving him a desperate look.
"Oh my god! I'm sorry Frankie. Shit. I'm always such a stupid ass. God. I'm sorry." He said, begging for me to forgive him.
"Gee, i-it's okay... It's not your fault... I-I just... It's been a really long time... and the last time..." I didn't want to finish my sentence. I just don't like thinking about Kyle either.
He gave me a hug, and pressed his cheek against the top of my head. "I'm sorry for being a dick..." He said, and I hugged him back.
"You weren't a dick... It's okay..." I said, smiling a little. Gerard was to good to be real. I'm just waiting for him to slowly fade away and I'll never see him again because he's a figment of my imagination.
"You sure?" He asked.
"Yeah. I'm positive." I said and gave him a quick peck on the cheek.
"Well... It's eight o'clock... What are we going to do for the rest of the evening?" Gee asked, pressing his forehead against mine, smiling at me.
"Iunno..." I shrugged, and giggled at how adorable he was.
So, we agreed on video games and pizza, and I made him order a veggie pizza from the Gui Gi's down the street. So we played video games until about eleven, when Gerard convinced me we should just go to bed, or we'd never be able to get up in the morning. Of course I'd agree to that. Gerard only slept in boxers, and I had no jammies tonight.
So I stripped out of my clothes, now I was wearing the same thing as Gerard. Boxers. And he got himself settled under the covers.
"You commin', or what?" He said with a grin latched on his face.
I hopped in and cuddled with Gee. God, he was so warm. He wrapped his arm around my hips and pulled us closer. No arguement here. He nestled his face in my hair, and that's how we fell asleep.
:O I'm a tease! Oh no! So close! And, what's this, a twist? Who's this Kyle man that's making Frankie not want to jump Gerard? I guess you'll have to keep reading... :)

We know that technology has renewed attention to longform journalism in recent years. But it's also changed how we think about it.
Do we define longform by the quality of the writing? By the amount of time it took to write? By the research it entailed? Or do we define it by length?"

Students from the Toledo college of nursing will be heading to Nicaragua in March to deliver much needed medical supplies,medications and food.
Denise Oancea is the professor coordinating the trip. She tells 13 ABC, "We conduct research while we are there...we set up portable mini clinics...The Department of Health Ministry schedules where were going to go each day...and people will just give us their home to turn into a clinic for the day."
Nicaragua is the second poorest country in the western hemisphere and is plagued with inaccessible care, poverty, and malnutrition. The majority of the health issues are related to the publics lack of health education and accessibility.
Oancea tells 13 ABC, "The government does provide College for them but it is very competitive, so they are very educated which is why the doing patient education is a big part of our mission...they just don't have jobs because there economy is so poor."
More than a dozen students, doctors, and volunteers are going on this trip but they need your help raising $5,000 to cover the food, medical supplies and medications.
Stephanie Blanchard is a nursing student who is excited about the trip. She urges the community to be generous. "Any little bit helps...$1.50 does a lot for medication, so we encourage any little bit.' Brittany Stanton agrees. She tells 13 ABC, "What we are asking is for people to help us in the quest to help others...we are going to serve and we need the help."
Donations can be made by check made out to University of Toledo Foundation with the note "Nicaragua CON" and mailed to:

Mr. Michael on Silver Tray + Reunion Mania
Last night, while glancing at the headlines on STLtoday.com, I noticed a "frontpage" article on the band Pale Divine, penned by longtime Post feature writer Diane Toroian Keaggy. The piece caught up with the two principal members of the group in most folks' (ahem) eyes: guitarist and vocalist Michael Schaerer and lead guitarist Richard Fortus. The piece deftly portrayed the differences in current lifestyles for the two, as well as the long-time-coming reconciliation that allowed for next week's PD reunion at the Pageant.
After reading the article, it dawned on me that Schaerer's a working musician around town, and might just have time to drop by the KDHX studio for some mid-afternoon chat and acoustic play. Within minutes of finding his e-mail address, he responded in the affirmative and he's now booked for Silver Tray, on Friday, December 26 (the show airs from noon – 2 pm CST); he'll come in for the last half-hour, or so, of the shift and will be bringing his acoustic guitar, so expect some PD chestnuts among the cuts he'll be performing and discussing.
Because of the amount of local groups reuniting over the weekend, I'll devote the balance of the second hour of the show to a recap of bands in town over this oncoming, packed weekend. As a primer, here're the highlights after the jump.
Thursday, December 25: Brian Krumm of the Great Crusades (and an alum of former STL stalwarts the Suede Chain) will be playing the Stagger Inn on Christmas night, with some of the bandmates potentially checking in, as well. Dana Anderson and the Mad Iron Trio open.
Friday, December 26: The Unconscious will perform at the Lucas School House, along with Johnny Bliss, a group including the Nukes' Mike Eisenbeis and Sinister Dane's Donald Williams (on drums!); DJ Mark Lewis opens the set. The band's been giving occasional reunion shows over the past decade and this one finds the group with the same six-piece lineup that the band employed during their primetime run: Mike Apirion, Darren O'Brien, Jon Taylor, Matt Tecu, Paul Matulef and John Covelli, all in the house.
Friday, December 26: Just a few minutes away from the Lucas, St. Louis expat Kristeen Young will be performing at the Way Out Club. According to her recently-redesigned website, there's a new record coming in January, "Music for Strippers, Hookers, and the Odd On-Looker." Perhaps a few copies of that release will find their way to the Way Out in advance; would certainly imagine some of those songs on the set-list.
Saturday, December 27: Fragile Porcelain Mice has kept its long-running Thanksgiving show going over the years, but the group really pushed itself back onto the local scene in 2008, with a handful of energetic shows at venues all over the metro area. This time, they'll be back at the venue that hosted their T-day show just a few weeks back, the Lucas School House. (Which, as reported on KDHX's blog, is closing at the end of the year, just a few days after this gig.) For whatever reason, the band and this venue have clicked, with some really fine FPM performances taking place on the edge of Soulard. Springfield, IL's NIL8 opens the show.
Monday, December 29: And, to round things out, the show mentioned at the beginning of the article, namely: Pale Divine at the Pageant, along with opening band The Nukes, fresh off their recent (and early-ending) show at the Duck Room. The Follow will play a post-set in the Halo Bar; and, in the interests of disclosure, this blogger will spin records after that all, until the Halo's last-call. But the bodies will be there for the Pale/Nukes doublebill, which should provide a real treat for anyone who called Kennedy's a regular haunt during the late-'80s and early-'90s.
I'm catching up on sleep already, in ready anticipation.

You said you were a casual guild, but having mandatory attendance for raids does not seem very casual to me. Maybe my definition of casual is wrong. Anyway, it's summer, people take vacations, go camping, have cookouts... A lot of casual guilds give up on raiding for the summer months.
Ah... the age old 'casual means inconsiderate' argument.
Casual is such a weird word in WoW. I dare say most people would assume that if you're raiding, even casually, if you are scheduled to raid a certain time, you show up, or have a darned good reason for not showing up. When 9 (24) other people are waiting on you to raid, then it doesn't matter how you define the word. Not showing up and not letting anyone know in advance is violating a basic tenet of common decency.
Now if they declined a calendar invite, or didn't sign up, then in a casual guild I'd expect that they're excused. But that goes back to what the stated rules are in that particular guild.
'Casual' doesn't mean you get to leave people hanging with no repercussions.
The only real difference between "Casual" and "Hardcore" raiding guilds is the hardcore guild is competing with other guilds. You still show up on time, prepared in all aspects, and give it your all for the entire extent of the raid. A casual guild may take more time clearing bosses, but the goal is still the same. Gear up and Kill the end boss.
Casual is only meant to indicate that the raiding schedule is flexible as opposed to 5 nights a week.
Casual does have several meanings but a "casual raiding guild" typically still has an expectation that you show up on time/at all for raid nights, just because, otherwise, you don't raid. If it was a Social-Casual guild that had sign-up or pick-up raids, on the other hand, there probably wouldn't be an expectation of attendance every week. The characterization of the guild as a "raiding guild" is what really defines it, the casual is a descriptor that indicates a) the mood while raid (not intensive/competitive, generally), and/or b) the number of hours spent raiding either at a time or in general.
No I came to post the same thing. Obviously the word casual means different things to different people, but 100% attendance no matter what seems a little strange for a casual guild. Accepting the calendar invite and then not showing up to me just means you don't hold a place for them, not that you get super mad or whatever. But then my guild has to figure out who is coming each week at the time of the raid anyway, so we are obviously pretty casual when it comes to attendance.

HipHop Kemp 2009 with John Robinson alias Lil Sci from Scienz of Life, Gordon & Dj V. Raeter!
Australian collaboration with Wax Museum Records!
Staring the slow extinction of traditional record stores down both barrels, Australia's own Wax Museum Records makes a defiantly bold move by releasing their very first slab of vinyl; a 7" that links Melbourne-based producer Inkswel with New York underground legends Scienz Of Life.
Blunted headnodic beats are the order of the day, with Inkswel serving up two premium-grade joints of Dilla-esque hip-hop for your ears. Lil' Sci & ID4Windz rhyme divine over heavy hand-clap percussion and exotic samples on Applause, then Lil' Sci takes the helm solo as John Robinson on the flip over slap-chopped abstract jazz flutes on Shut Em Down. Fresh graphics from the Project Mooncircle crew make this a highly-collectable limited-edition release with only 500 being pressed.
So while everyone else is jumping o the MP3 bandwagon, Melbourne's vinyl preservationists are preparing to hit you with a slew of hot new releases strictly on wax only. Even if you are rocking Serato these days, you're still gonna need this killer new 7" for your crate.

Garnets get their name from the Latin word for grain, "granatus", and were compared to the seeds of a pomegranate. As you may recall, pomegranate seeds are gemlike in appearance - they look like garnets! Garnets were thought to provide guidance and illumination in the night to those who wore them. With their rich pomegranate color, garnets are enchanting gemstones. Depending on the jewelry setting, garnets can look luxe and sophisticated or playful and fun. As the birthstone of January, garnet rings, bracelets, charms, necklaces, and pendants are a delightful way to celebrate a January birthday.
