Comments about Milwaukee Brewers MLB Diamond Era 59FIFTY Cap:
Great hat just ran a little on the tight side but I have noticed with a lot of hats that they fit a little different from one hat to the next. It did loosen up after a couple times of wearing it.

Comments about St. Louis Cardinals MLB Diamond Era 59FIFTY Cap:
Great hat. The material breathes well, it looks great and is very comfortable. Overall very good quality. I couldn't give it 5 stars because the team logo in my opinion is not as nice as the embroidered and raised logo on the Authentic Collection hats. Give it a better looking logo and I will give it 5 stars.

She is a breastfeeding advocate and was proud that she has breastfed her daughter for 19 whole months, not much to some but it is indeed a big accomplishment to her as a mom. She is now based in San Jose, CA but is still a pure Filipino at heart. In fact, she wholeheartedly supports and promotes an organic product brand in the Philippines that is made and sourced locally and is helping farmers earn a living.
For Icar, life is made up of small pleasures and happiness is made up of tiny successes. She dreams of a simple life and believes that everyday is always a new day-to be thankful for, to make a difference and be a blessing to others. .
I believe that using social media for social good is about telling stories - using my online presence to remind others that every single "cause" has a "face" behind it. Changing the world, after all, always begins and ends with individual people. Mother Teresa reiterated time and time again that we ought to strive to love our families and neighbors first, but then to also be merciful to anyone who is sick, hungry, naked, or lonely.
My goal is the same both on and offline: to love my family well, to show kindness to friends, and to extend compassion to strangers. Treading softly and courageously, I want to shine a light in dark places. Put simply, I want to love more.

Obama recess appointment 'dangerous' for the elderly, SBC ethicist Land says

WASHINGTON (BP)--President Obama's recess appointment of a controversial advocate for health-care rationing demonstrates how committed he is to socialized medicine and makes life "more dangerous" for elderly Americans, Southern Baptist ethicist Richard Land said.
Obama announced Donald Berwick's appointment as administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) July 7 while Congress was in recess. The president's designation of Berwick as a recess appointment means the nominee will not face a Senate hearing or confirmation vote. Obama had announced in April his nomination of Berwick to the post before deciding to avoid the Senate process with his recess action.
As a recess appointment, Berwick will be able to serve through the end of 2011.
Berwick -- the president of the Institute for Healthcare Improvement in Cambridge, Mass., and a professor at Harvard Medical School -- has promoted health-care rationing to save money. He also has lauded Great Britain's National Health Service and its National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE), which guides treatments by the government-run system.
Obama's action drew opposition from Land and other pro-life leaders, as well as Republicans and at least one Democrat in the Senate.
"President Obama, by appointing Dr. Berwick and then ramming him down the throats of the American people through a recess appointment, shows the degree to which the Obama administration is committed to the rationing of health care to the elderly and ultimately its commitment to a single-payer, British-style, socialized-medicine system," said Land, president of the Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission. "Then-Senator Obama said in 2004 that he thought the single-payer system was the best system for the country but you couldn't do it all at once. ObamaCare was the first giant step toward socialized medicine, and this is the second."
"To put Dr. Berwick in charge of administering $500 billion in cuts to Medicare just as the baby boomers begin to access that system is like putting the most ravenous fox in complete charge of the hen house," Land said. "Dr. Berwick's appointment should be headlined: 'Medical rationing is here.' He is the No. 1 advocate for rationing care to the elderly and to the terminally ill as cost-saving measures. Life just got more dangerous for every American over 65."
Land said Berwick received a recess appointment "because he was going to face the grilling of a lifetime in the U.S. Senate."
The head of the National Right to Life Committee (NRLC) called Berwick a "one-man death panel."
"While Americans may not remember the agency he heads, he will quickly become known as Obama's rationing czar," NRLC Executive Director David O'Steen said in a written statement. "President Obama's appointment of this open advocate of rationing to implement his health care law underlines the need for repeal before untold numbers of vulnerable Americans suffer death from denial of life-saving treatment."
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R.-Ky., said in a written release, "As if shoving a trillion dollar government takeover of health care down the throat of a disapproving American public wasn't enough, apparently the Obama administration intends to arrogantly circumvent the American people yet again by recess appointing one of the most prominent advocates of rationed health care to implement their national plan.
"Just over three months after passage of this misguided law, with Americans' worst fears about it being realized every day, the fact that this administration won't allow the man charged with implementing the president's plan to cut $500 billion out of Medicare to testify about his plans for the care of our nation's seniors is truly outrageous."
In announcing Berwick and two other recess appointments, Obama called it "unfortunate that at a time when our nation is facing enormous challenges, many in Congress have decided to delay critical nominations for political purposes."
A senator from Obama's party said, however, he was "troubled" by the recess appointment.
"Senate confirmation of presidential appointees is an essential process prescribed by the Constitution that serves as a check on executive power and protects Montanans and all Americans by ensuring that crucial questions are asked of the nominee -- and answered," said Sen. Max Baucus, D.-Mont., chairman of the Finance Committee.
Among Berwick's views cited with concern by Land and NRLC:
-- He said in a 2009 interview, "The decision is not whether or not we will ration care -- the decision is whether we will ration with our eyes open," NRLC reported.
-- He said in a 1994 article, according to NRLC, "Most metropolitan areas in the United States should reduce the number of centers engaging in cardiac surgery, high-risk obstetrics, neonatal intensive care, organ transplantation, tertiary cancer care, high-level trauma care, and high-technology imaging."
-- He "has expressed admiration for the British National Health Service to the point of saying that he has romantic love for it," Land said.
-- He "has praised effusively the British government committee NICE that rations health care to the elderly and terminally ill currently," Land said. "He has expressed a desire to emulate that system here."
Britain's five-year survival rate for men with cancer is 45 percent, while it is 66 percent in the United States, according to NRLC. For women, the contrast is 53 percent in England and 63 percent in this country, NRLC reported. These differences are largely caused by NICE's refusal to make available front-line cancer drugs commonly used in the United States, according to NRLC.
Obama signed into law in March the health-care reform legislation that is expected to cost in its entirety $940 billion over 10 years. Critics have labeled the new law as "ObamaCare."
Pro-lifers strongly opposed the bill because it would subsidize abortion coverage in health care plans and, they say, increase the rate of the procedure. They also expressed concerns about health-care rationing.
NRLC charged the measure, which takes effect in 2014, would result in rationing because of the authority given an advisory board to make proposals to limit growth in spending on health care. It also said the law authorizes the secretary of Health and Human Services to institute "quality and efficiency" standards on doctors and other health-care providers.
The mission of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, according to its website, is "to ensure effective, up-to-date health care coverage and to promote quality care for beneficiaries."

Right when I moved here to Wichita, I got here a week before I started the new job here at The Fox. So during the week of being here, I took care of all of the things you need to do when you move. Went to a bank, an insurance agent, got a new drivers license and car tags and the other things. So at night I had some free time, so I went to the Wichita Wingnuts. It was at the end of last season, and the Wingnuts were in the playoffs. I think I went to 3-4 games. I thought the stadium was great with the Wichita downtown skyline past center field. I am looking forward to going to many Wingnuts games during the Wichita summer.

I got an email from my mom the other day mentioning that the episode of the CBS TV show 48 Hours aired. I knew that the show was doing an episode around the story, but didn't know it was done and finally aired. See, several years ago, there was an event in my extended family that changed us forever. I won't get into any details out of respect for my family, but I watched the link my mother sent of the show in it's entirety from the website. It was really strange watching it, since I am related to the people affected. This story was all over the local news in NYC and even made the national news programs. I will always love and support my family.

It's Monday night and so I was sitting on the couch with SJ watching TV. I am a channel flipper. I flip between WWE, Two and a Half Men, and football usually. No football right now, but I was flipping and came to the show America's Got Talent. The King of All Media Howard Stern is now a judge on the show and I found myself watching the show. Howard Stern has made the show really good. He is funny, honest and brings a whole new dimension to the show. Why am I admitting to this, who knows... haha! Ok, so I am a fan of Howard Stern. Did you watch it and what did you think? Comment and let me know.

For the second weekend in a row, I tried to go see the movie The Avengers. I even thought I did the smart thing and wait to see it until Sunday afternoon thinking that I would avoid all the crowds. But no, I went yesterday to see the 3:30 showing and alas it was SOLD OUT! I asked when the next screening was that there were tickets available and the girl in the ticket booth said the 10p showing. UGH! Guess I will have to wait again til this upcoming weekend. Hopefully, by then, there will be a decent hour showing that is not sold out and I can finally see The Avengers. Other movies on my list is Battleship and Men In Black III.

My mom has been out of the country for over two weeks now. She returns home to Texas this upcoming weekend. I am pretty close to my mom. I am really not a momma's boy, just that my mom and I have become close over the last 10 or so years. I am just as close to my 92 year old grandmother. I talk to them 2-3 times a week on the phone. So with my mom out of the country and not being able to chat on the phone, it's been weird. She travels a lot, so this isn't new. I look forward to chatting with her this weekend when she returns.

Not a surprise, but my fantasy baseball team isn't doing so well. haha! shocker. Not that it matters really, but I wasn't a part of the draft so it was a crap shoot on who was going to be on my team. So I don't exactly have the best players. Now with the season a month in, I am in 2nd to last place. haha! I hope to improve sure, but I don't see it happening. Hopefully, as is usually the case, players are in peaks an valleys and will get out of the slump they are in and start producing. Regardless, I still love playing each year because it's more about the comradre with the other managers than anything..

I am excited with the recent announcement of Van Halen coming to Wichita on Sept 17th at Intrust Bank Arena. I have only seen Van Halen live in concert once and that was about about 2003 when I saw them in Biloxi, MS. The line up then was Sammy, Eddie, Alex and Michael. So this will be my first time to see Van Halen with David Lee Roth. Dissappointed that Michael Anthony isn't a part of the line up, but I have heard positive things about Wolfgang. Tickets go on sale this weekend. September 17th can't come soon enough.

So I went to the Sedgwick County Zoo yesterday for a company function. I had never been. And I was very impressed. It was great to walk around and see all the different animals that the zoo has. Who knew that Wichita, KS was home to so many beautiful animals. I was very impressed and mad at myself that I hadn't visited the zoo yet. If you haven't either, you are missing out. Check them out at www.scz.org Here is a pic I took of one of the animals.

I saw all the single movies of each of the characters, so I am anxious to see the movie and how they all come together. Will see it sometime this weekend. The other movie out this month is MI3. Men In Black 3. Was a fan of the first movie, the second one wasn't as good as the first but I do like the story so I am curious to see the new one. What movies are you excited to see?

Last night, I sat on my couch, my dog SJ jumped up and I turned on the TV. I flipped through the channels and I came across the movie Avatar on FX. I was such a fan of that movie when it came out in the theater. To me, this movie will become one of those movies that no matter what I am watching, if I flip around channels and come across it, I will stop watching what I originally was and keep it on Avatar. Other movies that have that same effect on me are Roadhouse with Patrick Swayze, Animal House, The Godfather and The Godfather II and more recently the movie 2012 which has been on like 25 times in the last two months and I have watched it EVERY time... Why are there movies like that, that have that effect on us. What are the movies that you always find yourself watching when they come on the tv? tell me. email@example.com

Primetime TV at night at least 2-3 times a week will be interrupted by the local cut ins from the weather departments. I am not complaining. Being this is my first season living here, I do want to know what's going on and if me and SJ need to take cover or whatever. I just find it funny that there is a chance that many of the shows that I watch, I will miss out on some of the show because of the cut ins. I wonder if the tv stations replay the shows in the overnight or whatever in its entirety without cut ins. Do they? Let me know. email@example.com

Well, actually, I am not that bad of a bowler. I only bowl 2-3 times a year, but I am actually a decent bowler. If I were to play more and more frequently, I truly think I could be in the 200's. Yesterday, I was on the Fox team for the Big Brothers/Big Sisters bowling event at Northrock Bowling. Phil Thompson was on the team and wow, can he bowl. First off, anyone who has their own personal bowling ball, you know they are into the game. Phil was very good. Our two teammates were a lot of fun and we enjoyed the day with the Big Brothers/Big Sisters organization.

A sold out Intrust Bank Arena. A rowdy crowd. And Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers with an amazing set. What a GREAT night. This was my first time seeing Tom Petty in concert. It truly is amazing hearing so many hit songs. A career such as his with longevity and the brilliance of his work, you almost didn't want the concert to end. I was also happy to see Wichita support the show as well as they did and hopefully it will influence more amazing rock shows at Intrust Bank Arena.

Two things are happening tonight that peak my interest. Tom Petty in concert at Intrust Bank Arena. If you are going, stop by the Party on the Plaza with the Fox starting around 5p. And also tonight, is the NFL draft. We already know where Andrew Luck is going, but I am curious on some of the other top players. Looking forward to watching Sportscenter and reading on line the results of the draft.

Today's high is going to be in the low 90's. So I think my mind has officially started to think about playing golf. I only played once so far living in Wichita and that was at Auburn Hills. Where else should I venture out and play? I don't mind driving to play either. I would prefer not to drive more than an hour. So any suggestions of what golf course I should play, please hit me up. email@example.com

The Wichita Thunder hockey team is going to the CHL Finals. That's great news. Growing up in Houston, TX, I wasn't really a huge hockey fan since I wasn't exposed too much to it. In my mid 20's, Houston got an IHL team named the Houston Aeros. That's when I started to get into the sport and watch it. I was fortunate to be working in radio at the time and went to many of the games and got to know many of the players. The main year that I did things with and for the team, they made it to the Finals in the IHL and eventually won. It was a lot of fun to watch and be a part of it. I hope Wichita experiences it as well and brings home the CHL trophy! Go Thunder.

Why is it when you don't expect something, it happens? My example, and this is what drives me crazy, is when you plan on sleeping in, and then your phone rings at 5a and then you are up. This is happening more often lately for me and I am not a fan of getting up so early, especially when you don't plan for it. I am not a morning person anyway, so that just amplifies my negative feelings towards being woken up and then staying up. It affects the rest of the day and then you hope to gain that back the next night.

It's been almost a month now that I have not taken my dog SJ to the dog park on the weekend. The weather just hasn't cooperated with us each weekend and obviously with last weekends tornados and all my dog has just been cramped up in the house with no interaction with other dogs in about a month. This weekends weather forecast looks really good, so I am looking forward to bringing him to the dog park. I usually take him to the new dog park at the Kansas Humane Society right off 235 and Hillside. If you go to that park as well, say hi. SJ is a black lab mix and he loves to play rough with the other dogs. If you don't have a dog, at least get out and do something...ENJOY your weekend!

Request: Inspector Cabanela - Ghost Trick
Anonymous asked prozdvoices:
Hello! I was wondering if you could possibly voice Sissel from ghost trick? Or possibly Cabanela from the same game? Here's a video of it, in case you've never played it youtube (.) com/watch?v=CiBcr7E8wQk Cabanela comes in at 11:01 and Sissel (the main character with sunglasses and crazy hair) is present throughout the whole video (I don't expect you to watch the whole thing, don't worry) it would be really great if you could do that! Thank you and I love your voice acting!
I went ahead did Cabanela, cause Cabanela seemed more fun to play (I've played Ghost Trick, and I loved it). Cabanela's fun, cause you get to play cheesy cool. He just likes to have fun.

A Community prayer vigil will be held at Community Clubhouse in Crisp County on Sunday, September 14,2014 at 7pm.
By Stephanie Springer - bio | email ALBANY, GA (WALB) - Law enforcement officers from several agencies spent the night searching for 21-year old Terail Pittman. This morning, he surrendered.
Tuesday morning, people in the small town of Edison breathed a sigh of relief when police locked up a murder suspect. Police say Terail Pittman shot and killed 19-year old Cyrus Butler in front of the Pure Gas station in Edison Monday afternoon. Tuesday, a family member brought a freshly-shaved Pittman to the Police Department.
"We found out from a lot of folks last night he was in Alabama, somewhere near Dothan, so I spoke to a family member this morning and he said he was on his way over there to go get him," said Josh Hilton, Sheriff of Calhoun County.
Harrison Ford was working at the gas station Monday afternoon when the shooting happened. He was shocked to find out the suspect was also his friend. "To know Terail it had to be really something to piss him off that I know of because like I say, he was a quiet type he was laid back so for him to do that it had to be something really bad."
Police say they still do not know why the shooting happened and have yet to discover a relationship between the victim and the shooter.
A close friend of Pittman's who asked to remain anonymous says he also didn't know Cyrus Butler or why Pittman would shoot him. "We really didn't know the other dude because he just came down here or whatever."
"I didn't even know this was going down, I mean this is in the street vine, because you know it started way before this happened up here. They had a confrontation before they come up here, that's what I heard," said Harrison.
The sheriff says Pittman had been in trouble for a few minor offenses over the years, but nothing to this magnitude. He is charged with Murder and Aggravated assault.
Police are still looking for another suspect who may have been in the car at the time of the shooting.
If you have any information call the Calhoun County Sheriff's Office at 849-2555

Coping strategy for when you are trapped in conversations with obnoxious people:
1. Pick a spot nearby, around eye level, preferably a small object. That is now the camera.
2. When they say something you just cannot stand, look directly into the camera like you're on The Office
3. Repeat as often as needed

The viewpoint is oblique, with the figures seen slightly from above. The empty space is perplexing, both open and closed. Similarly, there is an emotional contrast between the dancer in a white tutu, who is "active," and the formally dressed figure, who is "passive." In effect, Degas succeeds in portraying a sense of isolation in the midst of a big city that is elsewhere pulsating with life, and it is this feeling of loneliness and anonymity in a crowd that is comparable with our own experiences of modern life.

Well, the news comes for an unverified source; but, it's being reported that the due date for Kate Middleton's royal baby is July 13!!
In a funnier radio interview earlier today, Gov. Chris Christie reassures a caller that Prince Harry will behave on the Prince's upcoming trip to the State of New Jersey. Christie also goes on to state that the Queen can trust him with her grandson.
Have you been wondering who is Prince Harry's new girlfriend, Cressida Bonas? Click the pic to read 10 quick facts about Cressida!
Looks like Prince Harry and Cressida Bonas are dating! Cressida is a high-society London girl who has been linked to Harry since May. She was recently spotted with Harry on a skiing trip in Switzerland.
After fighting an initial case of acute morning sickness (known as hyperemesis gravidarum), it's being said that Kate Middleton has been undergoing hypnotherapy to get over constantly feeling nauseous. We wish Kate the best and hope she feels better soon!
Prince Harry has finally finished up a 5 month tour of duty in the Middle East. Upon his return the Prince sat down for an interview. What did they talk about? Naked photos of course!
According to Town & Country magazine, Prince Harry has won the title of, Top Bachelor in the World… while George Clooney has come in at #33. While, we can definitely understand why Prince Harry was chosen, we're still curious to know how you might vote.
Afghan warlord Gulbuddin Hekmatyar calls Prince Harry a "drunk who kills innocent Afghan citizens". The warlord gave an interview to the Daily Telegraph and calls Prince Harry a "jackal" and more. Click the pic for the full interview.
Well this is pretty interesting, British society magazine Tatler has named Prince Harry their Man of the Year and put him on the November cover! The cover photo was taken earlier this year before the Las Vegas story broke.
Looks like Prince Harry has dropped his formal complaint against The Sun for publishing nude photos of the Prince from his Las Vegas party… The Royal Family definitely has bigger things to worry about right now with Kate Middleton…

Where should I send Mom & Dad?
looking for some advice from New Orleans hounds:
My father is taking my mother to New Orleans for her 60th birthday and I want to buy them a gift certificate for a nice dinner.
They have been to N.O. a number of times before and I know they have been to the Commanders Palace and K-Pauls. I am looking to send them someplace new. I would like to find a restaurant where they can get a meal they wouldn't be able to get at home (so somewhere with a local menu would be great but nothing too touristy). It can be pretty expensive but not astronomical (maybe $100-$120 to cover the meal without drinks). They really like friendly service so nothing too pretentious. They are pretty adventurous eaters and don't have any dietary restrictions.
think that covers it. oh yeah and I'd like to call ahead and pay for a nice bottle of wine so somewhere that had a good wine list would be a plus.
I had a great birthday meal at Cuvee. Not too boisterous, pretty space, really nice staff, and people who know say they have a great wine list. Bayona, Peristyle or Stella would also be good.
If you want one of the old line New Orleans places, I'd go with Arnaud's. You can make reservations, unlike downstairs at Galatoire's.
Ew -- I had bad service and mediocre food at Emeril's last spring. Galatoire's, however, was as good as it's always been. If you want cutting-edge cuisine, go elsewhere, but dining at Galatoire's today is the same experience I was fortunate enough to have 50 years ago with my parents. I love this place!
Thanks so much for the advice everyone (and I'm sure Mom & Dad will thank you too)! I am going to go with Brigtsen's as I think they're planning to hit some of the old line places on their own.
Also what really settled it is Brigtsen's has pecan pie which they both have a soft spot for...
re: hopalong
Good choice. If it's on the menu when you are there, someone needs to order the Roast Duck with Cornbread Dressing and Honey Pecan Gravy. Unbelievable! My wife does not order duck, but when New Orleans comes up now she rhapsodizes about this dish that I ordered when we were last there a couple of months ago.
re: River Rat
I don't recall the duck ever NOT being on the menu, and agree that it's a great choice.
Brigtsen's is the perfect choice for your parents. There are lots of other great possibilities, but you just can't go wrong with Brigtsen's. They take great care of all of their guests, but I would make sure that you mention the special occasion when you make the arrangements.
I would send my mom and dad to Brennan's in the French Quarter, great service, super ambience and AMAZING food! They would love it and there are ALOT of course and choices and you CANNOT go wrong!
Brightsen's is a great idea, the rabbit is an amazing dish as well. August is another perfect local ingrediant and special occasion place, especially if they are staying downtown.
I'd think about Upperline.
I love the food there and Joanne always makes us feel like we're old friends; as though it's always a special occasion!

text: A practical, realistic and easy-to-understand resource to help parents deal with out-of-control adolescents' frustrating behaviors - behaviors that can leave even the most experienced parents "whipped." It is written in everyday language, with humor and hope. Provides answers to help parents meet the challenge of raising an out-of-control teen. From the book- Out-of-control teens include those who are described by mental health professionals as being oppositional-defiant and conduct disordered. Oppositional-defiant kids are negative, defiant, disobedient and hostile toward authority figures. They lose their tempers, argue and refuse to comply with the requests of parents, teachers, therapists, even the local librarian. Any adult who tries to set a limit is fair game. This type of adolescent is often angry, resentful, spiteful and vindictive. They deliberately annoy people and blame others for their poor choices and negative behavior. Conduct disordered kids are all of the above and then some. They engage in severely dangerous and illegal behaviors. They are often the school bullies, threatening peers and adults. They fight, carry weapons and do drugs. They lie, steal, set fires and deliberately destroy other people's property. They are often truant from school, stay out past curfew and run away from home, despite their parents' efforts to stop them. These teens consistently and seriously violate the rules and laws of society. The Whipped Parent can help parents of oppositional-defiant and conduct disordered adolescents find ways to stay centered while dealing correctly with school and court authorities. The authors do not believe in using boot camps as a tool to "control" bad behavior. Includes appendixes, worksheets for parents, suggested reading and an index.

It's official. Georges St. Pierre is Quebec's top Georges after defeating former NHL strong man Georges Laraque in a grappling competition Friday on a special edition of Off the Record with Michael Landsberg.
Watch the video here.
The two tough guys squared off at St-Pierre's Tristar gym in Montreal for three two-minute rounds. While Laraque had a distinct weight advantage, tipping the scales at 275 pounds, some 85 pounds more than the current UFC welterweight champion, St. Pierre was able to negate that advantage with his superior technical expertise.
"I'm sure that if I had shown him a couple of techniques and if he had trained as long as me, with his size, strength and power, he would beat me," St. Pierre told Landsberg. "But the knowledge that I have that he does not, that was the difference."
Although Larque lost all three rounds, St. Pierre was impressed with what he saw.
"I was surprised," St. Pierre admitted. "He's better than I thought he would be. I respect him a lot because he showed up. A lot of guys talk but don't show up."
Laraque, who was noticeably winded following the skirmish, was noble in defeat.
"That's much harder than an NHL game or a hockey fight," Laraque told Landsberg following the tilt. "It's unbelievable, I couldn't imagine fighting someone my own size."
Laraque was also in awe of GSP's strength.
"For his size, he's stronger than me."
As for a rematch on Larque's terms, don't get your hopes up.
"If we did the same thing on ice, I would lose," St. Pierre admitted. "But this is my game."
With another victory under his belt, St. Pierre will now turn his attention to Season 12 of the Ultimate Fighter where he will coach against the top welterweight contender Josh Koscheck. Following the season, the two will battle with St. Pierre's welterweight title on the line.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)

I really enjoy the Richard Knaak novels even more so since they drive self described literary experts (aka idiots who parrot what the cool kids say) nuts.
I love the article Chris Metzen did in Kobold magazine about Knaak and the morons who call Mary sue every time his name is mentioned, Knaak himself takes it in stride ignores the haters and keeps turning out NY Times best seler after NY Times best seller.
If by "self-described literary nuts" you mean "people who've actually read good fiction both inside and outside of the fantasy/sci-fi ghetto" then, yes.
Look, lots of people like books that a lot of people think are terrible. Christ, I like Anne Rice's earlier work from before she went off the deep end. I *get* the need to have the literary equivalent of the popcorn movie. But Knaak's work is so terrible on so many levels that I can only conclude that his most rabid defenders a) ONLY read video game tie-in novels from their favorite properties b) are the stereotypical fanboys that will defend to the death anything associated with said property, regardless of its merits, or c) are contrarians who get off on being special snowflakes and think they're somehow striking a blow for the proletariat by defending the literary equivalent of enemas (see also: rabid Dan Brown and Stephanie Meyers fans). So congrats on your honesty on that front, at least.
Also, holding Chris Metzen up as some kind of authority as to the quality of literature is kind of hilarious. I love Warcraft lore, and I like and haMetzen, but this is a guy who forgets his own stuff by his own admission, is responsible for some of the worst character derailment in BC, and his "Mary Sue defenses" of Knaak demonstrate a vast misunderstanding of the concept. Being a good world builder does not necessarily make someone a good writer or novelist. I direct you to any number of Ed Greenwood novels as a further example.
For an example of a video game tie-in novel that's actually *good*, even by non-fanboy standards, I recommend the Dragon Age novels by David Gaider. Give those novels to someone who's never played Dragon Age, and they still hold up as solid, good reads. The same absolutely can't be said for anything Knaak's done for WC.
Why is it that anyone who likes Knaak has to be one of those three things? I mean seriously, how condescending... I personally love the War of the Ancients series, and have liked many of the other works I've read by Knaak. I think that he is a decent writer, although I do agree that Rhonin is becoming an almost Mary Sue (but if you think about it, most Fantasy characters that span more than one series have the potential to be called this). I have read hundreds of books from many, many genres. I am an English Major and have been exposed to contrarians, which is not what anyone who likes Knaak is (for the most part).
People like tons of different works by hundreds of different authors. Just because YOU don't like a person, doesn't mean that anyone who does is "contrary", a "fan-boi", or anything else. It merely means that they like something YOU don't.

Dendallin thanks I could not of put it better myself, well at least witout being a hell of a lot more condicending to kylene
Killchrono said...
Honestly, I don't see why Metzen holds Knaak in such high esteem. He fangasms over him and treats him like some sort of fantasy god, and then proceeds to piss off the players by letting him create characters like Rhonin and derailing characters like Malfurion and Tyrande.
I give Metzen credit where credit is due, but honestly, his soft spot for Knaak hurts promoting WoW lore through novels more than it helps.
stormdragon_ said...
You mean piss off a handful of players, most of who have this ignorant perception that the name Rhonin is taken from the Japanese Ronin, when it's Galiec name. Knaak modeled the character after Rhonin the red who was a Warrior Poet and Advisor to Brian Baru an Irish King that lived in the Ninth century. In any event I hear a lot of pissing and moaning about Knaak, but it all boils down to taste wich is subjective.
As a good freind told me at Blizzcon...they will raise hell about Knaak while clutching their Stephenie Meyer books close to their chests.
1. Being on the NYT bestseller list doesn't mean you wrote a good book. It just means you wrote a book that sold a lot of copies. Popular and high quality aren't necessarily the same.
2. Refusing to listen to your readers' concerns is the mark of a bad writer, sorry.
Hollow Leviathan said...
Man, it would be dismissive of him if he claimed anyone who enjoyed it was one of those three. Thankfully, he was referring only to "his most rabid defenders". It's fine to get entertainment value out of something that has no artistic value. It seems lately people have been combining or confusing entertainment and artistic value... They're wholly separate.
TL;DR Enjoy the books, no one is judging you. Defend the books as well written, and the judging will start.

To do the cool things, you have to be logged in first.
It's nice to see a win again. It's been too long.
Great recap Mike! Great win for the Blazers and their fans!
Lillard to Jeffries for the D_U_N_K !! That brought smiles from every man with the word Trailblazers written on his chest. All of Blazer land for that matter. Nice to see.Found yet another way to win. Stand toe to toe with the best defensive team in the league and beat them at their own game. How many charges did we take ?Every player ended up in the plus column. I'm not sure I've seen that before. Even Nolan was plus 6 in a minute 16.Stotts really worked the sideline well. He took every opportunity to go offense / defense. Even early in the game. The timeout he took when we had the ball, a 10 point lead, with two and a half minutes left in the first half was masterful. He protected his players from foul trouble against a big line-up.Great win. This team has the it.
Hey Mike thanks for the update. I stayed home from work until the game was over then had to rush out to do about 6 hrs work; therefore I missed all the post show.You have said countless times that the Blazers had to find a middle ground between offense and defense, and tonight they did that. I kept expecting the Blazers would give it all back, but by Jove they kept the screws down.
The most complete game of the year. Defense in the first quarter? Wow. If we saw this every game what could our record be? This was a team effort with so many outstanding individual efforts.I wish Myers Leonard wouldn't let himself get pushed under the backboard so much but his tip in from all the way under the backboard was impressive.
can't complain a bit about this one. even when the Pacers made a couple of their mini runs in the 2nd half, we answered them right back. it' actually funny to look at some of those stats; some things which you wouldn't expect too, but which very much tell the story of the game.as much as many want to give player of the game honors to Damian, i've still got to give that nod to LaMarcus. while he dominated in the first half, i think he also brought it in the second and hit a key jumper which pretty much put an end to one of the Pacers' runs. not to say, however, that Damian doesn't get a lot of credit. the Pacers simply didn't have an answer for him, especially in the fourth quarter.JJ is having one of those seasons for us that is going to make me absolutely pissed off if he is not retained. last night was no exception. Nicolas had his usual great all-around game with some really nice defense on the Pacers' wings. Wesley's defense on the other wing was exceptional.we often note our bench isn't at the caliber of our starters, but last night our bench guys held their own. MB, i'e seen on this blog and on Courtside where you've said that we aren't asking the bench to win games for us, but to defend and not let the opponent make ground on us. last night , the second unit guys did just that, and did it while scoring 19 points on over 50 percent shooting.tough games coming up. it will be interesting to see how the guys respond.~ KMM
nice win and great D from the Blazers !Best game from Barton so far this season .And we will need a big bench against the Clippers who have one of the best if not the best bench in NBA
It was indeed a nice win, but let's not get carried away. As at least one Mike pointed out last night, Cleveland lacked the one weapon that has killed the Blazers night after night: a point guard who can slash past Damien into our soft center. It was nice to discover that when you take away that weapon, and are playing a team that doesn't shoot threes too often or well, this team can play very good defense. And the team deserves special congratulations for figuring out how to score against Cleveland's highly-regarded defense. Once you get in the rhythm of scoring, forcing the other team to work against your set defense and then being able to push up after their misses to keep them from getting set, it's a lot easier to take control of a game. It's a good first step, and we can hope it will lead to better things. I'm oddly hopeful about the Clipper games, because I just don't think that team is as good as their record, and the Blazers have shown that their own focus matters a lot more than the record of their opponents. Let's hope the trend of beating winning teams continues.
Damian has to be one of the purest basketball players to wear a Portland jersey in quite some time. He sees the game in a way few players in the NBA do. He is one of those pure shooters that doesn't swish. He back rims his shot and the ball goes straight to the floor barely touching the net. He has sneaky hops. The kid can get off the floor. Many posters to come over the years. The Blazers have absolutely found a gold nugget.Stotts and company has his team very well prepared to play the Pacers. Indiana had a huge size advantage inside. Our bigs fronted. Weak side help, although sometimes late, did come. Giving credit to the players, they executed the game plan and still were able to get good rebound position.I'm not sure why Indiana didn't put someone with length on Dame. Harass him all the way up the court. This has been working for teams.Hoping for a split with the Clips.
Love Rice as a nice guy but during the Indiana game broadcast I can't take any more of his errors and you having to correct him. You need a new partner so that I can get more out of YOUR excellent broadcasting skills. Schonz had to step down and sorry but it is Rice's time too. Love to watch Lillard time though!
jetman25: NOW you can't take any more Rice errors?? Surely the time to break down should have been when we had those full nights suffering through his weird inability to remember the first "L" in Afflalo. Last night was a walk in the park by comparison. You need to chill and learn to laugh; consider him our very own Phil Rizzuto, and just collect the goofier gaffes for the inevitable anthology of the "Wit and Skewed Wisdom of Mike Rice." And despite the recurrent flurries of naming mistakes, the man does still show a keen understanding of how basketball is and should be played.
so does John Wooden but you don't see him broadcasting...
Two time all-star. Congratulations LaMarcus. I know you will represent well.@jetman25;Lets be glad you don't make those decisions. Who do you think came up with phrase you used in your response ? " its Lillard time" Love ya Mr. Rice. Keep up the good work.
Where has this game been??? Tough, aggressive defense and good offensive execution from the opening tip to the final horn! We could be 8 or 9 games over .500 if we'd played like this the previous 6 games.Mike wrote: Portland has a better record against teams over .500, than they have against teams under .500. That's the final odd stat of the night. Sorry, Mike, but that's not an odd stat for the Blazers. We've played that way for several seasons now: good against the good teams; not so good against the not so good teams. If there's any single constant about the Blazers over the last decade, that's it.--don
@David: The Wild One as our own Phil Rizzuto? How about our own Dizzy Dean!@jetman25: That's very likely because John Wooden is dead.--don
congratulations to the L-Train, LaMarvelous, LaMazing ... LaMarcus on his second straight all-star selection! had a feeling he'd be our lone Blazer to make it!@jetman25, @Divotking, @dgpdx @David: i find Rice to be very entertaining and didn't have any issues with is commentary last night. i don't know if any of you watch the fox nfl pregame show sunday mornings, but i relate Rice to Terry Bradshaw. sure they can be goofballs, nuts at times and even the butt of jokes here and there ... but when each talks about his respective sport, you listen because you know they've got the background and expertise to tell you what is what, and how it is.~ KMM
Here are some highlights of Lillard's performance:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6vfiLpDiAlMI sent a tweet to LMA to congratulate him for his all star selection. And on RealGM, a lot of Warrior fans are mad that Curry didn't make it and Aldridge did; even though David Lee did. The Warriors have their first all star in 16 years and their fans are upset they didn't get two. Again, they should be lucky to get even one considering that their team has only made one playoff appearance in 18 seasons.
@Don:we not only play down to opponents level, but most of the sub 500 teams that beat us are the bottom teams of the Eastern Conference.If you think about it we are going to lose many games, but if the Blazers think they are good enough to choose which games to lose by not showing up, the bottom of the Eastern Teams would hurt us less. And as far as the Western teams go, other then the top 3 or 4 top teams all the rest are just in the middle of the pack teams. Even Sactown and NOH or now NOP, can play a mean game of BB.
The Clips have lost 3 straight. CP is out. Still this is going to be a stand you ground, put a body on them dog fight. The Blazers need to step on their throat early and often. Let them know right out of the gate, it's going to be hard. Man up or lie down.When Crawford enters the game, the RG needs to give him the riot act. He's a player that like's to be loved. I'm so wonderful with my crossover. There's no love here. He was part of the mutiny of 2012. Put Batum or Matthews in his hip pocket. How's your day ?Get it done Blazers.

The Satsop River is a stream in the U.S. state of Washington. It has three main tributary Forks, the East Fork, West Fork, and Middle Fork Satsop Rivers. The main stem Satsop River is formed by the confluence of the West and East Forks. The Middle Fork is a tributary of the East Fork. The three forks are much longer than the main stem Satsop itself, which flows south from the confluence only a few miles to join the Chehalis River near Satsop, Washington.
The Satsop River's major tributaries originate in the Olympic Mountains and its southern foothills, within Grays Harbor and Mason counties. Most of the Satsop River's watershed consists of heavily wooded hill lands. The upper tributaries extend into Olympic National Forest, approaching but not quite reaching Olympic National Park. The Satsop River watershed is located east of the Wynoochee River and south of the Skokomish River watersheds.

Don't Take Childbirth Lying Down—New Labor Positions You May Want to Try
The study concludes that although the effects of ambulatory labor on the progress of labor is still under investigation, the ability to walk to the bathroom and change positions in bed are compelling enough as reasons in support of semi recumbent positions, movement during labor, and walking epidurals.
Erica Lyon, Director of RealBirth, a center that offers childbirth classes and support to pregnant women and mothers in New York City, explains some of the disadvantages to birthing in a recumbent position. "It's just basic physics. When you're lying down, you aren't using gravity to work with the contractions to birth the baby. You lose the efficiency of the contractions."
Women may also feel less in control, continues Lyon. "To have your feet completely off the ground and not be able to see what's going on, may make women feel even more vulnerable than they already feel."
Benefits of Upright Labor
Laboring in active positions such as walking, squatting, or on a birthing ball has several potential advantages. As Lyon points out, laboring in an upright position means that the baby is being drawn down by gravity. Simply being upright can help the body maximize the power of contractions. With more efficient contractions, delivery time may be reduced.
Alliman adds that a woman should try several positions during labor. "The combination of gravity and changing positions frequently helps the baby's head move lower in the pelvis and into the best position for birth." For example, when a laboring woman is on a birthing ball or squatting, her pelvic opening is one to two centimeters larger than when she is lying down, says Alliman.
Women who deliver in nonrecumbent positions also tend to have less vaginal tearing and episiotomies. "This is because of less stress on the vaginal opening [and your back] in these positions," Alliman explains.
Another bonus of nonrecumbent positions is that a woman's backbone is more aligned and her blood circulation is better, adds Lyon.
