Classic Clown
Former big league pitcher Jon Warden, who returns to the Hall of Fame Classic for the fourth straight year, is a master at entertaining fans
By Trevor Hayes
June 15, 2012
Based on his major league career, Jon Warden probably isn't the most recognizable player on the Hall of Fame Classic roster. Not this year, or any of his three previous Father's Day Weekend trips to Cooperstown.
But from his first step onto Doubleday Field, Warden has been a fan favorite.
On Saturday, Warden will join Hall of Famers Bert Blyleven, Carlton Fisk, Eddie Murray, Phil Niekro, Tony Peréz, Ozzie Smith and more than 20 other retired legends from the Major League Baseball Players Alumni Association for the fourth annual Hall of Fame Classic, presented by Ford Motor Company. The legends game brings families together with the spirit of the game during Father's Day Weekend to fulfill one of the Hall of Fame's missions: Connecting generations.
During his big league career, Warden went 4-1 with a 3.62 ERA in 28 games, finishing 11 while picking up three saves. In 37.3 innings, he struck out 25, giving up 30 hits, including five homers – all as a 21-year-old rookie with the Detroit Tigers in 1968. He was the AL's first pitcher to three wins in 1968 and was a promising talent on the eventual World Champion Tigers.
Following the 1968 season, he was taken as the 12th overall pick in the expansion draft by Kansas City, and the Royals sent him to Omaha under the tutelage of O-Royals manager Jack McKeon. But he'd never make it to the bigs again, as injuries and control problems derailed his career. In total, he played six years of professional ball, accumulating a 39-40 record during five official minor league seasons from 1966 to 1971.
"I like to tell people I'm in the Hall of Fame… Yep, '68 team picture," said the 65-year-old, who lives in Ohio.
After hanging up his spikes, Warden went back to school and graduated from the Ohio State University, taught school and currently works in sales and fundraising. But he might have found his true calling by donning a figurative pair of clown spikes as a new kind of baseball comedian, following somewhat in the footsteps of the famed Clown Prince of Baseball, Max Patkin.
Warden, who's a longtime MLBPAA vet, helps the organization put on 20-25 events a year ranging from golf outings to fantasy camps, old-timers games and skills clinics. Despite his trade as a pitcher during his pro career, Warden has been listed on the roster as a DH for the first three Classics – though that's not designated hitter, it's designated humorist.
"I just get a big kick out of seeing people have fun and making them laugh," Warden said. "You get them out there laughing and everything and they can put all their worries on the back burner and have a good time."
Warden has been a decent hitter in his Classic career so far, going 2-for-7 with a walk – a .286 average. His teams are also 2-1, losing as a member of Team Collins in the inaugural game despite getting a hit, before going hitless in a winning effort on Team Killebrew in 2010 and then collecting his second hit and the walk last year on the victorious Knucksies.
But for Warden, the show isn't about his success at the plate (or on the mound, though he's yet to take it). It's about making the fans laugh and have a good time.
"They enjoy my squirt guns and I try to make sure I don't squirt a nice baseball that somebody's got for autographs or squirt a baby to make them cry, but I'll squirt the umpire. I've got three or four different wigs and silly string," he said. "I'll go down and give signals, wiggle the hips or lay down on the third base bag and use it as a pillow. I squirt water out of my mouth – people have asked if its chalk – I can hold almost a full bottle of water in my mouth.
"I do a lot of things that Max Patkin used to do. When I was in Omaha, Jack McKeon was the coach 1969. I'd sometimes coach first and do my thing, but once Patkin came and did his routine. So I went and coached third, doing the same thing. He looked at me and said: "What are you doing?" Warden said. "After that, we kind became buddies."
Warden's bat routine in which he grabs a handful of bats and swings them around before throwing all but one to the side and then stepping up to the plate only to call his shot made it onto the 2010 Hall of Classic ticket. After his bat routine, he usually hits a slow roller and tries to call timeout.
Every year, Warden's got more antics. He said last year, he even got the grounds crew at Doubleday to turn on the sprinklers while he was coaching third base.
As in year's past, Warden will also help with one of the more important aspects of Classic Weekend, the Legends for Youth Skills Clinic. The free Friday event gives himself and other players a chance to give back – an essential function of working with MLBPAA.
"The talent level doesn't matter, just come out and try. Having everybody participate is the key," Warden said. "I like to see the kids that aren't necessarily on a high level because they are out there trying. And they'll remember that that they were out there with big leaguers and that's why we give the autographs."
At the heart of the weekend and the main reason Warden, who's been to Cooperstown numerous times since his first trip to the 1968 Hall of Fame Game with the Tigers, keeps coming back: The atmosphere and the fans.
"They just have a passion for the game and it'll be packed and a good time," he said. "I'm looking forward to meeting some new guys, but Cooperstown, it's like no other, it's like you are in paradise."

By Sgt. T.J. Assion
Police work is more than a skilled trade and more than a profession. It is a way of life. What law enforcement officers go through "on the job" carries over into our personal lives. For the most part, it makes us better parents, better neighbors and better citizens. Law enforcement is unique in and of itself. A private sector counterpart to a police officer does not exist, because there is no comparison to what we do. In Ohio, a collective bargaining law has existed that has allowed us to negotiate with our elected officials, where we can discuss more than just salaries and benefits. We use collective bargaining for items such as staffing levels and safety equipment. These are items we take seriously, because we know better than an elected official what it takes to keep our communities and each other safe.
Law enforcement is inherently dangerous. And Senate Bill 5 makes it so much more dangerous. If SB 5 were only about public employees paying 10 percent into our pensions and 15 percent toward our health care, then there would be no problem. Approximately 93 percent of all public employees already pay that much, if not more, toward their pensions and the average public employee pays at least 15 percent toward their health care. Police officers, firefighters, teachers, nurses and other public employees are problem solvers. When a recession occurred in 2008 and our elected leaders asked us to help with this problem, we stepped up to the plate. During this time, public employees in Ohio have made concessions totaling $1.06 billion. These figures can be verified from the Ohio State Employment Relations Board, whose members are made up of Gov. Kasich's appointees.
Proponents of SB 5 call it "reasonable reforms" and "necessary tools." They will tell you that police officers will still be able to negotiate for safety equipment and staffing levels. This is a bold faced lie. It states that if management chooses not to, then the topics of safety equipment and staffing levels become illegal to discuss. This means that politicians get final say concerning the safety of our communities, not the professionals doing the job.
Middle class
SB 5 contains language that is in no way designed to help solve Ohio's revenue shortfall, but only breaks the backs of working, middle class people. The governor and the other elected officials do not care about your safety, the quality of the education that our children receive or for your rights. They talk about shared sacrifice, yet they exempted themselves from the provisions of this bill and to add insult to injury, gave their staffers five-figure pay raises and bonuses. And they want to destroy the private sector next.
Public employees have proven time and again their willingness to solve the financial problems of our communities while at the same time ensuring that quality service remains. Please stand with your police officers and fire fighters. Voting no on Issue 2 will keep help protect you and your family.
Sgt. T.J. Assion is president of the Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 141, which represents Mahoning County deputies. Hew wrote this on behalf of the Mahoning County Democratic Party.
Vote NO On Issue 2 !
What is sad is that the very people that Kasich is trying to destroy with Issue 2 are the same ones who voted him into office. My union, which is not public employee associated, has spent millions to battle Issue 2 and the police, fire, nurses, teachers, etc... who we're helping will never appreciate that.
When you work in a private sector job, even with a union, doesn't the company have the final say???
Yes on SB5.
If you are a younger, less senior public sector union member, or a loved one of that individual, you really should think about voting yes on Issue 2. The unions and the senior union members who are pushing to recall SB5 aren't going to be the ones who are laid off if issue 2 fails. It'll be you or your loved one. In fact, the senior public sector union members are better off without you or your loved one around. It increases their chances for overtime pay. Heck, they won't even accept reasonable concessions to keep you or your loved one on the payroll. Union members eat their own young and your senior union brothers care only about themselves. How many times have you heard them say, "I've paid my dues, now you pay yours?" They know and you know this is true. When you go in that voting booth and close the curtain behind you do the smart thing. Save your job. Vote yes on Issue 2.
Since when does SB5's passage/fail signal the mass layoffs that you speak of? If that were the case, with maybe the exception of teachers, the layoffs would have already begun... but they haven't. Your argument does not hold water.
Another thing I find humorous is how people - who have obviously never belonged to a union - try to explain how unions 'screw' their membership over. Some of the statements these people make are totally without merit.
There's no need for compensation reform? States all across the country are implementing reform. You're seeing it typical "blue" states like Connecticut and New York introduce public sector reform (http://eng.am/qh2i1T), and Ohio is far worse off in unfunded liabilities than those two states (http://eng.am/p9JEUG).
The state most worth looking at in terms of a comparison is Rhode Island. When you take the amount of money in liabilities and divide it by population you get a number that almost identical to that if you did the same with Ohio. As has been made abundantly clear recently; Rhode Island is in disaster mode (http://eng.am/vAkntd). One city has already declared bankruptcy and the whole state may not be far behind.
Rhode Island continued to ignore the mounting problem, and should no legislation come to pass in Ohio, they seem to be heading for a similar fate. You would hope that a massive economic catastrophe wouldn't be the thing that would force voter's hands. You would hope that fair compensation in the public sector would be enough of a motivating factor, but it seems the rhetoric machine has done a good job in manipulating the issue and steering it away from fiscal responsibility.
VOTE YES ON ISSUE 2 ~ Help our state get into fiscal health! We need a reasonable balance between union worker's rights and the citizen's ability to support growing costs.
Those of you for SB5 are fools. ($% of all public works pay 10% of total wages into retirement plans and 15 % or more into healthcare costs. Saying that all salaries equal 1 billion dollars. That would mean a savings of $60,000 dolars annually. Wow That will balance the budget, won't it?
Fools, Its what KASICK said in 2009, "His goal is to break thae backs of the teachers unions"
Let me give you some info directly from SB5. If an employee is SUSPECTED of taking part in a strike he forfits TWICE his daily pay for those days that he is SUSPECTED of having taken part in the strike, but, it is up to the employee to PROVE that he did not take part in the strike (what if he was in the hospital) and has to sign a sworn affidavit and go to court to get his money back. 12 People APPOINTED by the Governor, President of the Senate, and the Speaker of the house; all of these get paid out of THE SCHOOL EMPLOYEES HEALTH CARE FUND and reimbursed for all "operating expenses paid for out of THE SCHOOL EMPLOYEES HEALTH CARE FUND and according to Ohio Revised Code 124.15 which means that the can make as much as $32.00 per hour for a 40 hour week and they don't pay for their health care because they are state appointees and get it for FREE! (2) Members shall receive compensation fixed pursuant to division
(J)(A) of section 124.15 of the Revised Code and shall be reimbursed from
the school employees health care fund for actual and necessary expenses
incurred in the performance of their official duties as members of the board. THEN there are another 18 bureaucrats appointed to watch over these 12, all with the same free ride. Oh and I almost forgot, They also get to hire their own aides and these get paid for out of the SCHOOL EMPLOYEES HEALTH CARE FUND. For each and every profession listed in these adds they are going to add more bureaucrats that will cost even more tax payer money. How does any of this sound right to you? Don't beleive me?
OK, here is something to actually read.
At the very least make an educated vote and don't be one of the "sheepeople" blindly following a political party. Here is a link to all 304 pages.

The new Chute™ 1L water bottle is designed for hydration on demand, whether you're in the backcountry or sitting at your desk. The ergonomic high-flow spout is angled and contoured for efficient, full-on hydration. The leak-proof, tethered cap twists off with just half a turn and conveniently snaps into the handle so it's out of the way when you're drinking. We even put the threads for the cap on the inside of the spout so you get a comfortable lip seal. And the one-piece tether is twice as clever as any you'll see on the market. It keeps the top locked out of your way for one-handed refills on the go.
Angled spout provides an ergonomic drink interface that delivers a high flow of water without sloshing or spilling
Spout cap snaps into handle to prevent it from getting in the way when drinking
Comfortable to Carry: Handle designed to comfortable carry a full liter of water
Tether securely attaches the cap to the bottle for easy filling and refilling
Half Turn Cap gives you easy access to your water
The spout cap threads internally so there is no more drinking off those uncomfortable bottle threads
Dishwasher Safe: All parts are top-rack dishwasher safe
Durable and leak-proof
100% Free of BPA and BPS
Wide-mouth opening is easy to fill with ice and water and a breeze to clean
CamelBak® Got Your Bak™ Guarantee: If we build it, we'll Bak it™ with our lifetime guarantee.
Cleaning Chute™
The bottle, cap, spout cap and tether can be cleaned in the top rack of the dishwasher or by hand with warm, soapy water. Remove the cap, spout cap, and tether from the bottle before washing.
For a deeper cleaning, add a drop of mild soap or tablespoon of bleach to a clean glass jar filled with water. Drop the cap, spout cap, and tether into the solution, and tightly close the jar's lid. Shake the mixture around for 30 seconds, and then let the parts soak for about 15 minutes. Rinse and shake dry.
Can/How do I freeze the CamelBak® Chute™?
You can freeze the bottle but make sure:
1. The bottle is not completely full when you do this (we recommend only 3/4 full to allow for expansion of the water as it freezes to ice).
2. The bottle is right side up
Can I use the CamelBak® Chute™ in high-altitude/ low-pressure environments (i.e. airplanes, mountain altitudes, etc)?
Can I put hot liquids in it?
Warm water in your CamelBak® Chute™ is just fine, NOT boiling water. Additionally, we do not recommend boiling the bottle itself.
What happens if I put sports drinks/juice in the CamelBak® Chute™?
Use of any of these drinks in the bottle is fine, but thorough cleaning after each use is recommended.
Can I use with carbonated beverages?
You can use any beverage in the CamelBak® Chute™, but thorough cleaning after each use is recommended.
What max temperature (freezing/boiling water) can the CamelBak® Chute™ withstand?
The CamelBak® Chute™ can withstand being filled with warm water up to 65 ºC/149 ºF or stored in below freezing temperatures.
Is the CamelBak® Chute™ microwave safe?
Feel free to use the CamelBak® Chute™ to warm up liquids (ie. up to a minute), but we don't recommend cooking your dinner in it.
Does the CamelBak® Chute™ work with back country purifier filters/microfilters?
The CamelBak® Chute™ is compatible with filters that adapt to a 63 mm screw top opening (in other words, it's compatible with most filters on the market).
Does it hold residual taste?
No, there is no residual taste in the bottle materials, and it's also stain-resistant. Some sports drinks and other flavored beverages can leave behind residue of flavor oils that could require extra cleaning.

I bought this as a replacement for my Eddy, which leaked to high heaven whenever somebody looked at it funny. THIS BOTTLE IS LEAK-PROOF!! And you don't have to suck endlessly in order to drink! It is amazing, and that is all.However, Camelbak: you need to do 2 things.1: Post a photo of the cap tucked into the inside of the handle. This is one of the better features of this product, and you're completely leaving it out. I figured this out, but other reviewers haven't, and your commented instructions don't read well. 2: Sell the Chute replacement caps, so I can convert my old Eddy to a Chute!More colors would help it appeal to a broader audience, but I like mine just fine :) Thanks for making such an awesome product!

Loved it at first. This water bottle came with me to work (sporting goods store where I purchased it) and school, hiking, gym etc. The cap didn't slide into the handle easily like it is advertised but I didn't care. After about 3 months of having this bottle the colored thin piece that is around the rim of the bottle, connected to the drinking spout is completely broken (my bottle is purple so that piece is the orange one). Its too thin, it bends when you use the bottle and therefore the piece eventually breaks. Great design if it lasted longer and worked like it should!

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
By Busy Beaver
from State College, PA
I love this bottle, however it constantly has condensation on it and it gets EVERYTHING wet! I love the design, the spill proof cap, the capacity, everything. If they offered a insulated sleeve I would buy it in a heart beat and I wouldn't have any negatives. The best part about this product is that it holds A LOT of water. I have a Groove and I am constantly filling it, but with this bottle I can fill it up sit through classes and meetings without worrying about emptying my bottle too soon! This product is amazing! Keep it up CamelBak!
Great compliment to the Eddy
By E Dubya Engineer
from San Jose, CA
I bought this a few months ago and it is the water bottle I really wanted. The main draw of the Chute was no straw to have to disassemble for cleaning. This bottle is a breeze to clean. That said, there are a few tradeoffs versus the Eddy. First, you have to raise the bottle and tilt you head back to drink; this was no big deal to me. And second, when you have ice in the bottle, it can partially obstruct the opening; sometimes, I get a disposable straw to deal with this. Otherwise, I love the capacity, ease of use, and the volume markings on this bottle.

About Me Avid Adventurer
I love this product, I simply clip it in and go on with my daily adventure. However, I also gave one to my gf as a gift to replace her old bottle. She may have a defective lid but she constantly cross threads the spout and then of course it leaks... It leaks bad. That said it may be her fault or it may not be, but there should be a way to create a cross thread proof spout. That's my only issue other than that love it.
Good Times
By AA-ron
from Salt Lake City, Utah
I liked how easy this bottle is to fill and to drink from. All of the benefits of a wide mouth bottle with the ease of use from a smaller bottle. I like that the lid can be secured to the handle so it is no flopping around. the 1liter size is perfect for both work and home.

Great New Lid
By GilFisher
from Pasadena, CA
This is a great new design. Easy to clean, fill, carry & drink from. Much better than my Eddy bottles as they starting leaking. Very easy for my 3 & 5 yr old girls to use and no leaks. ***Please make a replacement Chute top available, so that I can replace to tops on my 4 Eddy bottles.***
CamelBak Chute
By Mouf
from Virginia Beach
This bottle has replaced my other Eddy bottles. I was never a fan of the straw and aftermarket twist off caps would leak when the bottle tilted in the car or a gym bag. I've had no problems with this bottle leaking which makes me happy. the cap can be a little tricky to stow, but isn't hard once you get the hang of it. For people complaining about the cap hitting their nose; it can get in the way when drinking, so try rotating the bottle 90 degrees and put the cap at the side. I found this makes it more comfortable to drink from. The tethered lid can get in the way some while I fill it up from a refrigerator door, but it's not a deal breaker.Now CamelBak just needs to sell replacement lids so I can convert my other bottles. Some different colors would be nice too.
So far so good
By BicycleGirl1
from Charleston, SC
After a year, I finally gave up on the eddy .75ml because of how badly it leaked and how difficult it was to clean. So far the Chute 1L is working very well. It is simple, easy to drink from and doesn't leak! The only reason I gave it four stars is because it can be difficult to twist the large cap onto the bottle because of the ring used to hold the small cap in place.

10 Risk Factors for Heart Disease
Heart disease is the number one killer in the world. Several factors that increase the risk for heart disease have been identified by the American Heart Association. Scientific studies have shown significant risk increases with some factors.
The risk factors that are listed are considered major risk factors and are those that medical research has shown to significantly increase the risk of cardiovascular disease. The more risk factors you have the greater the risk you have of developing heart disease. Some of us are at a much greater risk than others. Each factor itself can increase your risk depending on the amount of control you have over it. An example is your blood pressure or diabetes, both can place you at high risk, but if they are under control your risk becomes less whereas if they are uncontrolled the risk will increase even more.
10 Major Risk Factors for Heart Disease
Some of the factors that place us at a higher risk can be controlled, others cannot be controlled. These are considered to be major risk factors by the American Heart Association:
Body rebuilding: Researchers regenerate muscle in mice
A team of scientists from Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) and CellThera, a private company located in WPI's Life Sciences and Bioengineering Center, have regenerated functional muscle tissue in mice, opening the door for a new clinical therapy to treat people who suffer major muscle trauma.
The team used a novel protocol to coax mature human muscle cells into a stem cell-like state and grew those reprogrammed cells on biopolymer microthreads. The threads were placed in a wound created by surgically removing a large section of leg muscle from a mouse. Over time, the threads and cells restored near-normal function to the muscle, as reported in the paper "Restoration of Skeletal Muscle Defects with Adult Human Cells Delivered on Fibrin Microthreads," published in the current issue of the journal Tissue Engineering. Surprisingly, the microthreads, which were used simply as a scaffold to support the reprogrammed human cells, actually seemed to accelerate the regeneration process by recruiting progenitor mouse muscle cells, suggesting that they alone could become a therapeutic tool for treating major muscle trauma.
"We are pleased with the progress of this work, and frankly we were surprised by the level of muscle regeneration that was achieved," said Raymond Page, assistant professor of biomedical engineering at WPI, chief scientific officer at CellThera, and corresponding author on the paper.

For all you Troll ladies!
Got my makeup order in from MorganaCryptoria , did some quick swatches to share. (pardon the blurriness, didn't have time to pull out the tripod) These were all done with one quick swipe and no primer/base/lip liner just to show the raw color. Their gel lipstick line has the most perfect color for Kanaya. From left to right we've got their gel lipsticks in Creeping Vine, Miss Jupiter, Miss Jupiter with Sapphires & Violets lipgloss on top, and Hemlock. Got the blue for Vriska, but it seemed a bit dark to me so I tried it with some lipgloss I'd gotten from them previously to lighten it up. The hemlock is just a standard black (bought it for Terezi & Lalonde, was also testing out some of their eyeshadows in that shot) All the lipsticks are fairly matte, though the Miss Jupiter seems to have more sheen than the others. Definitely recommend Morgana for obscure lipstick colors!
Whoo! The world needs more swatches of this kick-ass company :D

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
Who says we killed the Old Gods? According to the comic, ages after players steamrolled through Ahn'Qiraj, C'thun still had consciousness and influence.
As far as I know, we're not attacking the whole of an old god in these encounters. Just those bits that have broken through the containment matrix.
That being said, even if we are "killing" them, I'm fairly certain they take a bit more than just our petty magics to be made permanently dead.
Alternately: You could compare us to surgeon's knives. A very small flea biting off the top of a bad growth that the titan's giant fingers could never hope to snap away cleanly.
From what I understand, the Titans could not kill the Old Gods because they were too ingrained in the world, and the Titans are too big and powerful and so incapable of the precision required to destroy them without destroying Azeroth. Mortal races, on the other hand, are small enough to get the job done, and have recently become powerful enough to do it.
Yeah, I had figured that at least C'thun was still alive, just with a few less tentacles and one less eyeball.
Yogg-saron, on the other hand, seems like the subject of a more direct attack than C'thun was. I'm not a regular raider so I never hit Yogg-saron in Ulduar, but I do recall an attack on Yogg-saron's brain... which would mean that he'd actually be dead, as opposed to just poking out one of C'thun's eyes.
Whether we (the players) actually killed old goods is a point of controversy in the lore community.
But the way I look at it, powerful beings in the WoW setting have more states of existence than just "alive" and "dead". And the more powerful you are, the more states of existence you have. So I tend to think that what we did with the old gods is push them several steps along the scale closer to dead. Thereby significantly reducing their ability to influence the world.
And in regards to the question about "why isn't the world falling apart after we killed the old gods", remember that we only, in lore time, killed Cthun two or three years ago, and Yogg less than a year. Titans work on very long timeframes. So when a titan says "killing old gods would destroy Azeroth", they might mean "... would destroy Azeroth in 1000 years".
I've never bought the argument that we are small and the titans are big. Even if the Titans were too big to properly engage with the Old Gods (who, lets face it are rather big once you dig them out of the ground), they have all these constructs which are much smaller than them which could do the job. Whole machines churnign out little constructs in fact. Plus they had empowered agents like Mimiron who can, y'know, change size!
Ultimately I think its nothing to do with size or practicality, I think its that the Old Gods simply can't die in the mortal sense. They are, after all, outside the cycle.
BubblePriest said...
I was under the impression that the Master's Glaive in Darkshore was where one of the titans HAD killed an Old God.
Lovecraft's fiction is all over the Old God lore. And in Lovecraft's fiction, one thing is always constant - the true cosmic evil is never fully present.
Eventually, we will open the gates of R'lyeh and see the great Cthulhu for ourselves. So shall be the lore of the Old Gods. When it does, well, Azeroth is screwed.
@ BubblePriest
What was killed at Master's Glaive is up for debate. It was definitely a powerful being of some sort and almost certainly related to the Old Gods. But I get the feeling it wasn't an actual Old God. I'd wager it was one of an Old God's servants, akin to Yogg-Saron's Faceless or C'thun's Qiraji. Perhaps it's related to the Old God whose presence is felt in Blackfathom Deeps.
Then again, I could be wrong.
So many awesome theories under one comment.
But, it bugs me how much people demean the true power of the 'Heroes' we play as. We're the guys that people like King Varian Wrynn, Lady Jaina Proudmoore, Warchief Thrall and even the almighty Highlord Tirion Fordring look to to fight off the evil. Yeah, we may not compare to them individually, but as the fighting force (or raid) we combine together, we're the best Azeroth has to offer. That is, presuming that previous bad-guy was kind enough to drop his shiny booties.
Kill Old gods? LOL whatever made you think we were doing that? DEFEAT them temporarily maybe but killing a god is like killing a soul, much harder that burning it or sticking a few holes in something.
My view is like the old D&D world. That major demon - yeah you can 'kill' it - but all you do it banish its essense back to its home plane. To ACTUALLY kill it you have to chase it down on its OWN plane where it is unbelieveably powerful, and kill it there. Even then these are GODS and hence very powerful and intelligent (one would assume at least). Hence im sure they would have worked out some 'contingency' plans at the very least, if not have several if not hundreds of plans/tricks etc to keep them alive.

and this is why I left ep for almost a year and may soon leave again.
You are not that important to us. Nore are you nipples, which if you played with more you might be in a better mood.
Sissy,

Are you trying to grow your breasts using herbs or hormones? If so, they are "normal" pains from getting breasts to grow.

Otherwise.... are you or a partner "playing with" - or paying special attention to your breasts during lovemaking or MB? If so, that too can make them more sensitive.

I don't see this as something for which you need to see a doctor for though! Especially if you're enjoying it or you've done something/had something done deliberately that is causing it.
sorry about my previous answer, didnt realize you were a dude
All ye who don't want to play "fun with body parts" please go share a story about not understanding what you woowoo is for.
see a doctor quick!
Most peoples nipples are - men and women. My gf sucks mine sometimes and can be quite a turn on
Cus your a "***"
good question if you are concerned about the sencativity of them try a harder bra or better still a steel one then you wont be able to touch them

Final Celebration March 21, 2012
To wrap up and appreciate all of our hard work we made enchiladas, fresh smoothies, and and a grand salad. The rest of middle school program joined us as well as one of our student's parents. We showed our photographs of our Food Communities and played a human size board game of Food Justice. Some of the spaces were "Drink a Pepsi One. The diet industry spends $33 billion a year in advertising. Stay 1 turn" or "Name something you could do to make your community healthier. Move ahead 3 spaces."
Thank you to all who were involved. It has been a growing experience for us all. Please e-mail me with any comments or questions at firstname.lastname@example.com.
-Anna Linck and Adam Machson-Carter

After the show, Alexis takes all the credit. Betty asks Justin's class what they think, and Lindsay and her flunkies say that the women were fat and disgusting. Hillary wants to disagree with them, but can't. They leave, and Betty looks defeated. Daniel trots over to report that the press is saying it's their best show ever. Alexis is taking all the credit but he doesn't even care -- he's growing. As he asks Betty what's the matter, Justin runs back with Lindsay's primary flunky, who says that she thought the show didn't totally suck. She starts to ask questions about who picks all the clothes, because that sounds like an interesting job, but Justin shrieks that Lindsay's looking and they've gotta go. As they run off Daniel yells, "Stay in school! Don't do drugs!" He's going to make a great dad someday, just like Bradford. Betty and Daniel congratulate each other, and on behalf of all the girls who wear oversize t-shirts to pool parties, she thanks him. They march into the backdrop as Betty wonders if old hags over the age of thirty-five might make it into the pages of Mode, and we're out.
Next week: Betty is not herself. In kind of a sex fiend way, maybe!

Preston took up an old-age hobby :) I built a temporary hobby room for him to use during the winter because it'll never stop snowing in my game.
Thanks to the clown costume, Idol's show was very successful for the first time. I know 90% of the crowd are ALWAYS his own family xD but still!
Preston: Welcome brother-in-law. I've never known I could ever drink the perfect cocktail in my house.
Preston: I'm sorry, grandson. I didn't know your family were this needy.
Demetrius III: Well, we didn't even have a table until today. So thank you for visiting.
Dunder: Are you sure this is where Iris lives? We should've visited our children more often, honey.
Preston: Yeah, you can say that again.
Dunder: oh my! Why are you guys sleeping on the floor?
Iris: Well, they didn't even have beds until today. So, welcome mom and dad.
Java: Hey, hey, what are you doing, sis? Concentrate on my birthday -_-
Christmas party sucked. I spent my time on decorating the family room for nothing! So… I decided to throw another party, a birthday party x'D Well, the kids were supposed to age up long ago.
so sweet :3
The gift giving party was sooooo boring. It took forever the sims to sit down, and the animation/face expression was… bleh ;___;
Aww this EP is so sweet :3
Preston: Where are we going?
Idol: There's winter festival at the central park.
Dunder: Why are we taking a taxi? Where are our cars?
I really don't get how their personal vehicles were magically disappeared. The problem is I can't buy them new ones. I spend all their cash for the winter remodeling xD

I have a confession to make. I'm not very swift with technology. Those who know me know that.
So I may not have been the best person to interview Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer when he came to town recently. I only can you give the bare bones of his view of our high-tech future before discussing a topic I do know something about — business leadership or the lack of it.
On the tech front, Ballmer actually was quite clear. He's expecting a high-tech world in which computers and other devices will be able to anticipate more of our intentions, and then take the appropriate actions to help us.
Now, for example, he said search engines only understand what we're looking for about half the time. That needs to improve — and will improve — through innovation. His company alone is spending $9.5 billion on R&D this year.
"You innovate or you die," Ballmer, 53, said.
Consumers can expect computers to do a better job at voice recognition and understanding down the road. Screens will be "as thin and light as paper." The interplay between voice and video will be relatively seamless.
Ballmer is impatient for the day when "the computer learns to operate me" like his administrative assistant does. She often can anticipate what he needs without requiring specific details, Ballmer said, and there's no reason why a computer won't be able to do that, too.
One thing a computer won't be able to do is lead a company. I'm quite sure of that. It's definitely an art and there have been countless failures. I asked him how he leads a company with 91,000 employees and $58 billion in revenue.
Ballmer, who just celebrated his 10th anniversary as CEO, said his most important job is to "pick and shape the right ideas" for the company to focus on. What's "super-important," he said, is to figure out the right projects to invest in, given all the competing possibilities.
That part of his job depends on two other critical factors — hiring the best and brightest employees and then holding them accountable for executing the game plan.
Ballmer's job increased in responsibility 19 months ago when co-founder Bill Gates left his day-to-day responsibilities at Microsoft, although Gates remains chairman.
What's the best way to follow a legend? Atlanta companies, including Coke and Home Depot, fumbled that issue several years ago before eventually getting it right.
Ballmer said his transition was helped by his 30-year business relationship with Gates.
"I was his partner, but I was his junior partner in running the place," Ballmer said. With a decades-long transition, he said, "you can get things right."
So what's the best succession model?
Ballmer didn't hesitate. Generally, he said, the best option is to hire a CEO within the company. Next best is within the industry and, after that, within a related industry.
But there's a major exception to that rule. "If a company needs shaking up, you might not start from bucket one," he said. In fact, like GM is doing now, you may tap someone from "bucket four" — a completely unrelated industry.
Something tells me the succession issue is too complex for a computer.
For instant updates, follow me on Twitter.

You're certainly right on your last point. You can't write software as complex as the human brain. I was disappointed a company as profitable and well managed as Microsoft succumbed to the labor force reduction frenzy.

The Best Western Regency Hotel is located at 701 8th Street in Greeley, Colorado. To get there from Fort Collins or Loveland, go east on Highway 34, and when you get to the fork in the road that offers the Highway 34 bypass and the Highway 34 Business Route, take the Business Route (the right-lane exit that immediately crosses over the bypass and goes north). The Business Route turns into 10th Street, going east; take this until you get to 8th Avenue. Turn left (north) and go two blocks to 8th Street: the Best Western Regency Hotel is between 7th Avenue and 8th Avenue, facing 8th Street. Turn right (east) and go one block to 7th Avenue; turn north and park in the parking lot on the east side of the hotel:
From the parking lot, walk along the left (south) side of the building to the main entrance.
Go in the hotel's main entrance, on 8th Street. You'll enter the lobby and see the front desk straight ahead.
As you enter the lobby, you'll be between two large staircases. Immediately turn left, and go through a doorway marked "Restaurant Lounge."
Once through the doorway, you'll find this hallway going west, parallel to 8th Street. Go to the end of this hallway and turn right.
You'll find yourself in front of Stetson's Lounge, where Dave and Mindy will be singing.

And, that they win a race. And that Jacques Laffite is one of the commentators for that race. :)

Does your home need a refresher? Looking for some fun, easy, and inexpensive ways to zhoosh up your rooms? I could use some of that. So when I was invited to an Ikea preview of their fall catalog, I came prepared to "steal" a few ideas. These are all pretty simple to pull off, and they're not too expensive, either. You could do any of these in an afternoon. But they'll make you look like a design pro. I mean, don't you love it when your friends come over and say "How did you come up with that idea???" Yes you do! Here are our favorites.

Roy Keane's beard photoshopped onto every Aston Villa player
While (by his own admission, we might add) mucking around at work, Aston Villa fan @GarethRDR has thankfully employed his master photoshop skills to answer that most eternal of questions: what would each and every member of Aston Villa's first-team squad and staff look like with Roy Keane's impressively luxurious beard adhered onto their chins?
The results are really quite stunning.
