Congrats to all! A true achievement that should not be overlooked. I couldn't imagine being able to dedicate all that time to sports while getting an engr. degree.
A good read:

If only Georgia Tech didn't have demanding degrees like History, Technology and Society. Then they could compete with the "Football Factories."
Georgia Tech=JOKE.

Terrific news.
Also noticed Marcus Wright graduated. Aside from Nesbitt, he was always my favorite.
May 3rd, 2012

dawgfan, were you just born AN a-hole or simply born OUT OF AN a-hole? I've never seen an ass maggot get so much satisfaction of posting on a tech blog.

GS…Marcus Wright is transferring to Larry Coker's new program at UT-SA correct? I believe Wright is originially from San Antonio.

@dawgfan – atleast they have a degree. Wish I could say that about you.

History, Technology and Society still requires more math and science classes than dwagfan has ever taken.
and will get graduates better jobs than dwagfan will ever have.
bitter much, ya obsesive georgia tech football online stalker?
May 3rd, 2012
11:41 am
I'm not bashing the degree. I'm sure its great. I'm just bashing the crybaby sore loser Techies who constantly make nothing but excuses for their football program. Its a complete lie and a myth. History, Science and Technology majors have to take one math class and two science classes. That's it. I just looked it up. Tech fans claim that this alone holds back their football program. If Tech does not have a good recruiting class, which it almost never does, Tech fans blame it on academics. If Tech loses a football game, which it often does, Tech fans blame it on academics. Tech fans claim that all good football players are too dumb to handle one math class and two science classes. Tech fans claim that 55% of their football players never graduate because History, Technology and Society is too difficult for them
Tech fans are just a total joke. That's my only point. Congrats to all the graduates.

Dawgfan, You just showed your true lack of intelligence!
May 3rd, 2012

The value of a degree from the Georgia Institute of Technology has been reaffirmed in a big way. Georgia Tech is number one on SmartMoney Magazine's list of the best 50 colleges based on return of tuition investment.
The magazine collected median pay figures from two pools of alumni, recent grads and those alums 15 years out from obtaining their degrees. This was compared with the actual cost of tuition. From this information, SmartMoney created a "Payback Score," reflecting an actual return on tuition investment.
Based on this data, the payback score was determined to be 221. This score compared with the University of Texas, Austin, which placed second with a payback score of 194.
UGA was 4th at a score of 186.
May 3rd, 2012
12:19 pm
Hey Dawgfan, it may be appropriate for you to get on a Tech blog and have something dumb to say when the university that you support can keep their players out of our jail. However, Orson, Cornelius Washington, Tavarres, Caleb King, Sanders Commings, Dontavious Jackson, Munzemier, Lemon, Henson, Boling, Baldwin, Justin Bean Anderson, Sturdivant, Wood, Cuff, Jon Owens, Robinson, Vance, Dittmer, Ealey, Jordan Love, Zach Mettenburger, Parrish, Montez Robinson, Demetre Baker, and Alec Ogletree have made it easier for me to reach my quota. UGA football. What a program of character and class. Over 30 arrests in 4 years. That my friend, is a JOKE. Drive Safely
May 3rd, 2012
12:22 pm
dawgfan, actually its two math courses, starting with precalculus…. They also have to take computer programming. I'm sure that class is a cakewalk at uga, but at Tech about half of the students have to retake the course.
May 3rd, 2012
12:40 pm
@dawgfan What does it say about your life when you come on here and talk crap about young men and women earning a degree. Where is your diploma from? Athens Technical College? Or, is it from Barnett Shoals Barber College?
May 3rd, 2012
12:57 pm
I only post here because I am ashamed of my Dawgs who are nothing but a bunch of criminals and pathetic losers in life….just like me!!
May 3rd, 2012
1:03 pm
Congratulations to the graduates. It is a tall order to graduate from a program like Ga Tech while playing ball, especially the ones who completed their studies within 4 years. Smart kids who know how to manage their time. Good luck in the future!
May 3rd, 2012
1:06 pm
Congrats graduates…..Whether its Tech or UGA, its important to get that degree. Y'alls football program will come around; I'm just not sure that maybe the system y'all have kind of scares away some recruits. Tough schools (see Duke, Stanford) can still have good teams. The rivalry will be back on soon enough….its just a matter of whether its with this offense. Maybe some shotgun, etc. would help y'all out……..
May 3rd, 2012
1:07 pm
p.s.I definitely was referring to roundball when I said Duke!!
May 3rd, 2012
1:20 pm
My degree, I'll have you Techies know, is in Poopanomics. Anyway, on to the CMR poo report. I have the privilege of reporting to Mr king/ Mr Towers that today at 0852, CMR had a lovely bowel movement. There were 4 samples, all type 3 on the Bristol Stool Scale. Sizes were 6, 5, and 4 inches in length, total weight 11.75 oz. After lots of digging I could find no signs of corn or peanuts.
Thanks as always,

"Tough schools (see Duke, Stanford) can still have good teams"
Old dog…Stanford has a good team NOW…mostly because of Jim Harbaugh. During Georgia Tech's 16-game postseason streak, Stanford has missed the postseason a total of 10 times.
1995 Willingham 7–4–1 5–3
1996 Willingham 7–5 5–3
1997 Willingham 5–6 3–5
1998 Willingham 3–8 2–6
1999 Willingham 8–4 7–1
2000 Willingham 5–6 4–4
2001 Willingham 9–3 6–2
2002 Teevens 2–9 1–7
2003 Teevens 4–7 2–6
2004 Teevens 4–7 2–6
2005 Harris 5–6 4–4
2006 Harris 1–11 1–8
2007 Harbaugh 4–8 3–6
2008 Harbaugh 5–7 4–5
2009 Harbaugh 8–5 6–3
2010 Harbaugh 12–1 8–1
2011 Shaw 11–2 8–1
But hey…feel free to take another stale, over-regurgitated swipe at the offense and how it hurts recruiting…
May 3rd, 2012
1:58 pm
"@dawgfan What does it say about your life when you come on here and talk crap about young men and women earning a degree."
I said it was a great degree. I wasn't attacking the student-athletes and I apologize if my comments could be construed as such. I just don't think its the insurmountable hurdle to athletic success that Tech fans make it out to be. I think its a crutch and an excuse. I think Tech fans are some of the biggest sore losers you will ever encounter.
Congrats to all the graduates.
May 3rd, 2012
2:17 pm
"I just don't think its the insurmountable hurdle to athletic success that Tech fans make it out to be. I think its a crutch and an excuse"
Whoa whoa whoa dwagfan…when has it kept us from athletic success? All we say is that it limits us from considering the same talent pool that a majority of the schools get to see.
May 3rd, 2012
2:26 pm
History, Science and Technology majors have to take one math class and two science classes. That's it. I just looked it up.
Well, look it up again, because you are wrong.
May 3rd, 2012
2:26 pm
@Fl Jacket
Not taking a swipe…..just stating a fact. I pull for y'all due to family connections when we are not playing y'all. I, like so many other NOT STALE folks just feel this offense ain't gonna bring them in. Nothing to do with TECH, just the system. See what happens………
May 3rd, 2012
2:31 pm
"Whoa whoa whoa dwagfan…when has it kept us from athletic success? All we say is that it limits us from considering the same talent pool that a majority of the schools get to see."
And you would not be saying that if you were not trying to argue or imply that it limits your athletic success. Nice try though.
May 3rd, 2012
2:40 pm
..How many of these graduates have "real" jobs lined up?
May 3rd, 2012
2:40 pm
"And you would not be saying that if you were not trying to argue or imply that it limits your athletic success. Nice try though."
It limits the talent pool…and that's a fact. JuCo grades cannot transfer in unless JC players happen to be, by some sheer stroke of luck, Mathematics majors at their JC. In addition, several HS recruits (especially in the state of Georgia) cannot even make Tech's minimum GPA/test score requiremets imposed by the Institute for athletes.
While I'm not saying that makes landing a top-10 recruiting class (as dubious as that is) impossible…it reduces the odds quite a bit.
May 3rd, 2012
2:55 pm
Let's just say H,T, & S is as easy as a Sports Studies major at UGA. Let's just say…
You still have to be admitted to major in that, and we don't admit at the NCAA minimum. UGA – and many of the schools with which we compete for recruits – does. Even then, a player wouldn't have the flexibility to switch majors to, say, Physical Education, if he decided he didn't like H,T, & S.
May 3rd, 2012
3:17 pm
"Wow…Nick Claytor came back and got his degree! Good on ya mate…"
My mistake…Mario Edwards came back as well!
May 3rd, 2012
3:23 pm
"JuCo grades cannot transfer in unless JC players happen to be, by some sheer stroke of luck, Mathematics majors at their JC."
Okay, you can't get JUCO players. Does that really explain losses to teams like Air Force, Virginia and Utah on an annual basis? Keep trying. I'm sure you'll come up with something.
"In addition, several HS recruits (especially in the state of Georgia) cannot even make Tech's minimum GPA/test score requiremets imposed by the Institute for athletes."
Why don't you tell me what those minimum GPA/test scores are pal. $100 says you can't do it. You'll flap your jaws about it until you're blue in the face but you can't tell me what they are. At any rate, several HS recruits (especially in the state of Georgia) CAN meet those minimum requirements and choose to take their football game elsewhere. Its an excuse. Plain and simple. You Techies want everyone to believe that most HS football recruits are not smart enough to play football at your precious "Institute" and that is nothing but fantasy. Its not true.
May 3rd, 2012
3:27 pm
"You still have to be admitted to major in that, and we don't admit at the NCAA minimum. UGA – and many of the schools with which we compete for recruits – does. Even then, a player wouldn't have the flexibility to switch majors to, say, Physical Education, if he decided he didn't like H,T, & S."
Its probably news to Kansas, NC State, Air Force, Virginia and Utah that they have such a huge advantage over Georgia Tech in recruiting. I bet they didn't know that.
Good grief.
May 3rd, 2012
3:28 pm
"Okay, you can't get JUCO players. Does that really explain losses to teams like Air Force, Virginia and Utah on an annual basis?"
I guess I was unaware we lost to them annually. That's like saying UGA loses to UCF or Colorado annually. However, the Air Force game was bad. We had two muffed punts and a fumble at the 1 yard line. Against Utah, half our team was hurt. I'd would have been more disappointed if I cared about bowl games.
As for UVA, they won eight games. Probably should have won, but those things happen.
May 3rd, 2012
3:30 pm
"Its probably news to Kansas, NC State, Air Force, Virginia and Utah that they have such a huge advantage over Georgia Tech in recruiting. I bet they didn't know that."
Kansas was a bad loss. I can't really respond to that.
NC State won 9 games in 2010 with a pretty damned good QB. I addressed the others above.
May 3rd, 2012
3:35 pm
I'm not one that believes in the transitive property in college football, however, that Kansas team did have a win against Colorado, who beat … you guessed it – Georgia.
May 3rd, 2012
3:37 pm
"I guess I was unaware we lost to them annually."
2008: Losses to Virginia and UNC, two recruiting powerhouses.
2010: Losses to Kansas, NC State and Air Force. I've heard Air Force cadets are pretty good at math.
2011: Losses to Virginia and Utah. Try whining to Utah about recruiting. They get the Pac 10's leftovers and still wax that Techie azz.
"I'd would have been more disappointed if I cared about bowl games."
Keep on not caring and the teams that you recruit against will keep using all those bowl losses against you in recruiting. Tech fans come on here crying like little girls about how their academics hurt them in recruiting but they could care less about an embarassing bowl loss streak. You just proved my point. Thanks.
Georgia Tech=JOKE.

2008 – Jaybo Shaw – a true Freshman – played this game in JFN's absence. UNC during this time WAS a recruiting powerhouse…as witnessed by the sheer number of NFL draft picks they've had over the last 4 years. And Virginia wasn't too shabby in the NFL draft pick department either…
2009 1 8 Eugene Monroe T Jacksonville Jaguars
2009 2 45 Clint Sintim LB New York Giants
2009 6 185 Cedric Peerman RB Baltimore Ravens
2009 6 208 John Phillips TE Dallas Cowboys
2008 1 2 Chris Long DE St. Louis Rams
2008 1 15 Branden Albert T Kansas City Chiefs
2008 6 196 Tom Santi TE Indianapolis Colts
2010 – Russell Wilson is a darn good QB last I heard…
2011 – "They get the Pac 10's leftovers and still wax that Techie azz." 481 yards of offense would disagree, the game was lost because we couldn't make a FG.
May 3rd, 2012

Since 2007, North Carolina has had classes ranked by Rivals 17th, 32nd, 9th, 29th, 16th, 44th. Not too bad.
Since 2007,UVA has had classed ranked by Rivals 25th, unranked, 32nd, unranked, 25th, 27th. The 2008 team was actually pretty damn good.
I'll be sure to remember a three point loss is getting waxed. Thanks.

"Since 2007,UVA has had classed ranked by Rivals 25th, unranked, 32nd, unranked, 25th, 27th. The 2008 team was actually pretty damn good. "
UVA had a run of 5 NFL 1st rounders between 2005-2009 of having (Heath Miller, D'Brickashaw Ferguson, Chris Long, Branden Albert, Eugene Monroe)…and had 2 others nearly make the 1st round in 2010 and 2011 (Chris Cook, Ras-I Dowling).
But UVA is a terrible team…
May 3rd, 2012
3:58 pm
Facts, FLJ.
Thing about UVA is they actually recruit pretty well because, ultimately, they're the big boy in that state.
May 3rd, 2012
3:59 pm
"2010 NC State beat UCF."
As did Kansas State (7-6) and Southern Miss (8-5) that year…UGA must be as bad as Tech if "you can't beat who beat us who beat the team that beat you".
dwagfan's logic-JOKE
May 3rd, 2012
4:01 pm
"Thing about UVA is they actually recruit pretty well because, ultimately, they're the big boy in that state."
GS…that's right. Say, I wonder where the guy that recruited all those NFL 1st rounders and high draft picks at such a "Football Factory" like UVA is now??

Wow. It's that time of year already?
Ken's annual blog about the Tech graduates and their loser fan base congratulating them, along w/ their "..academic restraints are the reason why we can't beat UGA in anything…" blah blah blah type of comments.
How time flies.

Little Jimmy, I guess you missed the round ball score at the "barn" this year and what transpired at Turner Field the other night. But I know, for you nadlicker fans that never set foot on the UGA campus, football is all that matters.

Did Hillary Davis letter in Track/XC AND Tennis?! If so, what an athlete! As the oft played commercial says, most NCAA athletes go pro in something other than sports.
These fine young people, and their peers who graduate from UGA and other universities, are the future of our great country. We should all congratulate them all and support their past, current and future efforts.
May 4th, 2012

So I pull into a gas station the other day and a young woman is crying because she thought someone had "stolen" her gas tank. Turns out she just pulled her car near the pump on the wrong side.
She was wearing a UGA hat. The man who had to explain it to her was wearing a Tech hat. He even had to teach her how to pump the gas.
May 4th, 2012
8:06 am
…but UGA does not "admit at the NCAA minimum", either. Athletes at UGA are held to a higher admission standard, not regular student standard, but significantly higher than SEC and surely NCAA standards. Even Vanderbilt student athletes get a break on admissions at that school, just as Tech and Duke athletes gets breaks on admission standards at their respective institutions.
Try not the paint with such a broad stroke…and why is it you hear about UGA football players transferring to Tech, but never hear about Tech athletes transferring to UGA to continue playing sports?

9:20 am
I am in no way knocking the History, Technology and Society degree (as a troll on this blog did); however, only one football player selected that major among this graduating class. Anthony Allen majored in that, as he was a transfer student. When transferring one needs to maximize the number of credits that will be accepted. A broad-based curriculum like that is valuable when one is planning to attend graduate school, especially in an MBA program. Preston Lyons, another transfer student, chose a similar route.
May 4th, 2012
10:08 am
UGA does admit at the NCAA minimum. I never suggested that Tech athletes were subjected to the more rigorous standards that the general student population faces, but we do not accept players at the NCAA minimum.

You Techies better quit mocking me! Just because I only have 1.5 in of manhood and suffer from peenus envy does not give you the right to make fun of me….sniff, sob

May 4th, 2012

Sorry, George Stein… Hahaha that is WHY UGa has 70% Special Admits on the football team? That tells you UGa does admit at the NCAA minimum.
Many schools routinely used a special admissions process to admit athletes who did not meet the normal entrance requirements. More than half of scholarship athletes at the University of Georgia, the University of Wisconsin, Clemson University, UCLA, Rutgers University, Texas A&M University and Louisiana State University were special admits. . . At Georgia, for instance, 73.5 percent of athletes were special admits compared with 6.6 percent of the student body as a whole.
May 4th, 2012
10:28 am
The Indianapolis Star newspaper recently posted an article regarding "special admits" to colleges. So called "special admits" refers to the preferences given to athletic recruits that would not normally meet admissions standards. While there is nothing surprising about the fact that colleges use different standards for some athletes, the interesting point is the degree of preference given.
The newspaper studied 55 of the countries largest public universities and found that the preferences given to special admits at many schools was disproportionately favoring athletes, particularly football players. For example, in 2004 the University of California reported that 95% of freshman football players on scholarship were special recruits while 47% of all freshman athletes on scholarships were special admits. In contrast, only 2% of all freshman students were special admits. At the University of Georgia and Texas A&M University, 94% of freshman football players were special admits.
The process of using special admits is something that students who may apply to those colleges need to know about, particularly if their grades and test scores are lower than the average for those schools. While these colleges may except students with lower grades and test scores, many of those admissions slots are going to recruited athletes, leaving little room for non athletes.
Not all colleges use special admits and the study found that many universities did not use any special admits. For a breakdown of which of the nation's largest public universities use special admits look at the table put together by the newspaper.
May 4th, 2012
10:42 am
…yet "special admits" does not really mean anything, as MOST athletes at most schools, including Tech, are "special admits". All this means is that MOST athletes are admitted at lower academic levels than "regular" students as the Indianapolis Star correctly points to, yet which you seem to want to discount.
Based on your use of semantics, GT is the leader in "special admits" since "•Georgia Tech had the nation's best average SAT score for football players, 1028 of a possible 1600, and best average high school GPA, 3.39 of a possible 4.0. But because its student body is apparently very smart, Tech's football players still scored 315 SAT points lower than their classmates."
And, "Schools with the highest admissions standards, such as Georgia Tech….had the biggest gaps between the SAT averages for athletes and the overall student body.
Hence, jsut because UGA and other schools, including Tech, admit athletes with lower academic scores than required of its regular students, they all have "special admit" status for athletes overall, and not just for football.
So, we are both correct…

…is really not relevant for today's athletes only because the SAT score now is based on a 2400 point scale, not the former 1600 alluded to in the article – thought the gist of the article is still probably valid…

…the story of dawgfan is really a tragic tale. You see, dawgfan was the only child of Fido and Fluffy, born in the ancient city of Muttsville. Other than occasional butt-sniffing, he was a fairly normal and happy child. Approaching manhood, he found a lovely woman who agreed to be his bride. Alas, shortly before the wedding, dawgfan was bitten by fleas one night, and developed a terrible case of mange and rabies. Horrified, his fiance left him for a handsome, witty, intelligent young man who happened to be very good at math, and whi, in his spare time, built racing engines, nuclear powerplants, hydro-electric dams and spacecraft. Poor dawgfan was crushed. He was consumed with bitterness and anger. He lost his job at the local Wal-Mart, and could only find work as a poop inspector. He soon moved underneath a seldom-used bridge, where he spent the rest of his days railing and ranting at the local engineering school, its students, its fans, and its sports teams. Poor bitter dawgfan.

I am a GT grad with an HTS degree. It was not a cake walk, and I landed a job in technical sales before graduation. Major really does not matter if you have a great GPA and some internship/work experience during school. Its really more about how successful you are as a person…many engineers at Tech dont have jobs at graduation right now. I enjoyed my time at Tech, and would not have done a thing different.

Nah, I'm not ashamed at all. It's all BS. Look at the money UNC and USC slushed around. I won't even mention Miami. Tech's problem started with $312 worth of clothing with the tags still on them. DRAD should be fired and that's it. Good luck to all the schools that pay and play by the NCAA rules.

Do they have courses in arrogance at Georgia Tech? I graduated from UGA and freely acknowledge that Georgia Tech is a fantastic school. Why must Tech grads berate everyone who did not attend their beloved school?
Does it make you feel big to trash the academic accomplishments of others? The words of most of the posters on this board certainly make it seem so.
Go Dawgs.

Congratulations to all of the honorees. What a wonderful way to start the next step of your lives with a degree from a prestigious unversity. My hat is off to each of you because I played a club level sport at Tech and it was a real struggle to make practice a few times a week and still keep grades. My off seasons were very easy compared to how hard the football, basketball, and baseball players worked in between seasons. I am proud of each of you and look forward to hearing of good things from you all.
For next year, I would like to see some names on this list from the Men's Basketball program. CBG certainly has his work cut out for him but I know the team is very capable of joining this group!!!

Yes, something more demanding like the "Sports Management" degree at UGA.
Put your red and black to the side for a minute. These graduates from Tech and UGA deserve our praise today, not criticism.
That said, "Go Tech"

Dawgfan: That Family Financial Planning degree at UGA has got to be a killer. Teaching athletes how to balance a checkbook. Wow, how dare the board of regents demand such a hard course. Why can't Georgia athletes stick to easy courses like chemistry and biology. Most of us learned family financial planning back in high school. And by the way, what to you do with that degree?

Photo from mtv.comSo, Sandra Bullock and Scarlett Johansson kissed at the MTV Awards. Big deal.
Miley Cyrus may or may not have done it, Dustin Hoffman and Jason Bateman did it, Katy Perry did it, liked it and sang about -- same-sex kisses among Hollywood celebs that are seemingly designed to shock, are getting pretty boring.
It was great that Sandra won the MTV Generation Award, and she looked beautiful. The kiss was just gratuitous and forced.
After the pretty chaste embrace, Bullock asked for normalcy.
"Now that we have done that, can we please go back to normal because therapy is really expensive. Go back to making fun of me, I don't care, it's time to get back to normal."
"And I think when we all go to bed tonight we should think about all the people that are being affected in the Gulf and say a prayer for them."
Wise parting words.
What did you think of the kiss between Sandra Bullock and Scarlett Johansson?
Further proof that Sandra is simply amazing.
I never really like her before but after what she was going thought i started to change my mind about her because he is truly a amazing women espcailly adopting a baby from the USA.
I love Sandra her movies are the best and last night she made me laugh and love her even more you go girl!
I think whatever she's gotta do to shift focus from her recent troubles is A-OK with me!
Would like to be either Sandra or Scarlett ^^
I love Sandra and I love all her movies, she is one of my favorite actresses! I don't care what she does, the kiss was just all because of the movie her and Ryan were in together, and Scarlett happens to be his wife so that made it funny to me.....:) Sandra is just an Amazing Actress!!!!

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
I canceled partially for similar reasons.
1. Random roller-coaster of class development
This is a major problem for me. My class' strengths can change completely in a single patch or expansion, yet a lot of longstanding problems (i.e. since nearly launch, all carefully tested and documented by multiple players) are often left unfixed. PvP also recently clobbered class development when Arena was introduced.
2. Arena
I had liked old BG PvP, however I loathe Arena. I also strongly dislike that the best PvP rewards require Arena. Honestly I wish Arena would just disappear. I know a lot of people like it, that's great, I hope they enjoy it... however I'm not one of them.
3. More accessible = more bland
As Blizz makes the game more and more accessible it gets more and more bland. We've seen massive reductions in gear complexity in stats and looks... but the result is that gearing has become an Ilvl hunt. It doesn't matter what gear you get. If it is a higher ilvl, it is better, and it will always look pretty much just as bland as the gear you had before. Raiding has become essentially useless except if you want gear earlier than other people, because Blizz has begun carrying forward badge and token buys as they release new content. There is no longer any pressure. If you don't complete your set of gear now, so what, in a couple months you can clobber some heroics and buy it... so you can just start replacing it again with the newest set. While I applaud Blizz for trying to fix the ever-moving gear window, I don't know if this is the best way to do it.
4. Balance pls?
The ideas of 'hybrid tax' seem to be going away a bit, however PvP vs PvE balance is a problem for me. The two game goals are so different and so at odds I'm not entirely sure Blizz can balance them together without separating them. PvE gear in PvP and burstiness is still a massive problem in PvP, and some classes and specs simply can't compete. Honestly I don't know how most of these ideas got out of testing and into the live environment.
5. Focus on quantity over quality
I really think the recent focus on releasing an expansion a year is part of the reason for the reduced gear complexity, enforced gear and raid accessability and homogeneity. If the game and gear is more homogenous and accessible, it is easier to create gear and balance raids and content. I also doubt Blizz will be giving away those expansions for free.
For these reasons, which were reinforced by the dismal class Q&As, I don't think Blizz's development of WoW is worth what I'm paying. if and when they turn themselves around and actually start doing things for the 'good of game' (as they so often like to say) I'll be more than happy to buy back in, but I honestly don't think WoW is in a good place, or is going anywhere good anytime soon, and I don't intend to pay them in order to play a game I don't find fun due to their oddly inept and random development. I honestly don't understand why they keep moving the product forward when there are major problems that need fixing. Sure the coders and art asset people are different, but wouldn't you maybe cut back on art dev and hire some more programmers to fix problems instead of ramping up the expansion release schedule?
I don't see how this is the same company that turned out the Diablo, Starcraft and original Warcraft games.

Maggie Gyllenhaal's New Favorite Workout and How She Pulls Off Short Hair
Written on July 15, 2013 at 3:08 pm , by Molly Ritterbeck
Maggie Gyllenhaal recently joined the Band-Aid, Neosporin, Johnson & Johnson Red Cross and Benadryl Brands to help celebrate the 125th Anniversary of an iconic staple for everyday care—the First Aid Kit. Johnson & Johnson founder Robert Wood Johnson got the idea for making the first commercial First Aid Kits due to a conversation he had with a railway surgeon on a Denver & Rio Grande Railway train in the late 1880s. The surgeon told Johnson that railroad workers were frequently injured, but were too far away from any medical help, and Johnson had the idea to pack his company's sterile dressings and other products in boxes that could be kept near the workers to treat them in case of injury. Now, First Aid Kits ($10, target.com) are found almost anywhere from homes to workplaces to airplanes. At the celebration, we chatted with Gyllenhaal about Band-Aids, running and her tips for getting the haircut you want.
We're celebrating the 125th Anniversary of the First Aid Kit. It fits into all different aspects of our lives—it's perfect for the cook, the athlete, the mom, the adventurer, etc. Where do you find that it fits into your life?
"I definitely use Band-Aids the most as a mom, and Neosporin and stuff. I feel like it's mostly with my kids."
As a busy mom with a successful career, how do find time for yourself?
"I have almost no time to myself. Basically the only time is during exercise. So sometimes I'll go for a run and listen to the news while I'm running. I try to take time for myself at night. I'll go to dinner or listen to music. I'll put my kids to sleep and go out. But during the day, especially with a little one… I mean I was exercising at this place where it would take 40 minutes to get there, I'd work out for an hour, an hour and a half, then come back home. It's just too much time. My husband is a really big runner. He started to teach me about running, so I've been running lately. And then I walk outside my house. I can take a forty-five minute run, I feel like I've worked out and then I'm done."
So is running your go-to workout?
"I'm a beginner. I'm a new, new, newbie. I've been doing this aerobics class that I really like, which has been great for my body because it's so toning and strengthening. I was doing like an hour of cardio aerobics, which I had to work up to, but it made me feel so strong. So when I started running, even though it was very different and much harder I felt, I kind of had some strength already. So I'm a beginner runner, but because my husband runs—he's a long distance runner—he runs such long distances, I started out running pretty far because I was with him and he was like, 'Oh, we'll just do five miles,' so I just ran five miles. When I run by myself, I run about three and a half."
Switching gears to beauty, we love your short haircut. Do you have any advice for somebody who is thinking about getting a big chop?
"I've always been someone who's played with my hair and cut it. I have a hard time just growing it and leaving it a certain way. I don't know; it's not for everybody. I really like it; I feel really good. And I've certainly cut my hair in ways in which I did not feel good. I would say do not cut your hair short if you're pregnant. And I say, think about it. That's my advice. Make sure that you have a good hairdresser. When you get a short cut, you have to have a great haircut. And you have to cut it often. About every three weeks I feel like I need to do at least a little trim on my hair. And I would say, go and talk to your hairdresser, ask your hairdresser what he or she thinks about your face, the quality of your hair, if it's going to work on you. I mean I cut my hair first for a movie and I had kind of a bowl cut, which was fantastic for the movie when they did my hair everyday. And when I got home, I was like 'what do I do with this?' I can't blow-dry it so it's shiny and perfect—that's just not going to be me. So I need a haircut that's very simple to maintain. But I think, take some time and think and ask someone who knows your hair."
What are the beauty essentials that you can't leave home without?
"I always moisturize, so when I get out of the shower, I always put on oil. I just stay wet and put oil on, and then sort of just pat it dry with a towel. And I always have lipstick in my purse because I'm a lipstick girl. It makes me feel good."

6 Ways to Fight Dry Skin This Winter
Written on January 4, 2012 at 10:38 am , by Fitness Magazine
Since arriving in chilly, arid New York City from Mississippi a few weeks ago, I've been plagued by flaky, parched skin and chapped lips. So I grilled dermatologist Joshua Zeichner, M.D., Director of Cosmetic & Clinical Research at the Mount Sinai Medical Center in New York City, for his best tips on fighting climate-induced dryness:
- Thicken up your skincare routine by choosing a moisturizer that's one level heavier than what you normally use. If you usually go for a gel formula, try a lotion; if you normally use a lotion, try a cream; and if your go-to is a cream, try a balm, salve or oil.
- Even your ears need a little TLC in the winter, because they're often exposed to the elements: Apply the same product you use for your face on your ears as well.
- Don't neglect your lips! Your lips have fewer oil glands than other parts of your body, so they're highly susceptible to cracking and sun damage. Slather on a lip balm with SPF, Nivea A Kiss of Protection Lip Care SPF 30, every day.
- Using antibacterial gels and frequent hand-washing during flu season can cause dry skin. Help your hands by hydrating with a thick cream such as Crabtree & Evelyn Rosewater Ultra-Moisturising Hand Therapy after each wash. For severe dryness, cover your hands and feet with petroleum jelly followed by gloves or socks before bed to help skin heal overnight.
- Skip the soap: It can strip the body of oil and dehydrate skin. Try a moisturizing body wash like Neosporin Moisture Essentials Daily Body Wash that will gently cleanse dry skin.
- Super-hot showers feel great during the winter, but the heat can break down the skin's lipid barrier. Prevent damage by taking cool or lukewarm baths.

I will say this about Farrah Abraham. The Teen Mom star is brave with a capital B to talk about suicide and drug addiction.
The shocking revelations that Abraham made this week while doing press for her soon-to-be-released memoir My Teenage Dream Ended could get her in serious trouble -- or at the very least mark her as the screw-up reality star Farrah has been very adamant she doesn't want to be. But the 21-year-old might have just made the most powerful point to come out of the MTV reality series since it began airing in 2009.
So what'd she say?
Farrah, who faced the sudden death of boyfriend Derek Underwood shortly after giving birth to daughter Sophia told In Touch that she spiraled into cocaine and marijuana use during her time on the show to escape her pain. Suicide topped Farrah's thoughts -- she even described the letter she thought of writing to her little girl, a letter that included references to the major changes in Farrah's life that she was unable to come to terms with.
It's a different Farrah from the fun-focused party girl content to leave her child with her mom so she could go meet guys that we saw when Teen Mom first hit TV. It's honest. It's real.
Isn't that why this show was made in the first place? To show that teen parenthood is overwhelming and scary, and America needs to answer it with a two-fold response: prevent kids from getting pregnant in the first place, and support those who do end up there. We spend all this time ripping these kids to shreds, but we forget they're already doing it themselves ... it's largely unnecessary.
It's true, we've seen co-star Amber Portwood's downward spiral into drugs. We've heard about Amber's suicide attempt. Her five-year prison sentence should be a wake-up call.
But Farrah is one of the moms who is actually getting it right. She's straightened out her life. She's finished school, working, raising her daughter. From the outside, she doesn't seem like teen pregnancy was that hard on her -- at least not by comparison.
Taking the facade off might not be the easiest thing for her. The question of how child protective services might take Farrah's confessions is an obvious one already being asked, but I can't help respecting her more for taking the risk.
What do you think of Farrah deciding to come clean about her drug abuse?
Image via Amazon
If she's not actively doing drugs now and it's a safe environment for the child, Child Services doesn't have any reason to take her away.
i have to agree with the other posters here. i don't really think farrah has it together. she's rude, disrespectful, and thinks that no other person could possibly have as rough a life as hers, or be more deserving of a good life than she is. she has absolutely NO respect for her parents, and while you can see they're not the most functional family, farrah seems to go off at NOTHING on everyone around her. her daughter sophia is adorable, but she is going to grow up to be a nightmare if she follows in the footsteps of her immature, selfish brat of a mother.
This girl is so unpleasant it's hard for me to watch her. I think she and her family are very fake so it is hard to know what is true and what she is willing to say to sell her book. Her story about her daughters dead father for instance...weren't they broken up when she was pregnant? Although she treats her mother horribly, it's become more obvious lately that there are serious problems there so I hope she gets it together for her daughters sake.
I understand that most kids of young moms will eventually know that their mom gave up a lot in order to have them. But seriously, if my mom had been a teen mom and published a book called "My Teenage Dream Ended" I would feel really guilty and responsible... even though clearly I had no control over it. I can definitely see this causing some self-esteem and self-worth issues down the road for her daughter...
Child services maybe, just maybe, has a reason to monitor Farrah. But they no longer have a reason to take Sophia away. As long as Farrah is clean and sober and Sophia is healthy, there is no threat.

In homage to artistic trends both traditional and new, the National Council on Education for the Ceramic Arts (NCECA) has designated this year's conference theme as "Tidal Forces: The Next Wave." The 45th annual conference will take place at the Tampa Convention Center in Tampa, Fla., from March 30 to April 2. During the event, art enthusiasts of all ages will experience a variety of programs tailored to the exploration of past and present dynamics of the ceramic art form.
ExhibitionsVisitors will be able to explore several concurrent exhibitions while they are at NCECA. Each year, the Gallery Exposition offers an impressive display of works by some of the nation's most talented ceramicists. As home to the 2011 Gallery Exposition, the Center Hall of the Tampa Convention Center will showcase art from seven major galleries from across America. One of these galleries, Santa Fe Clay, will present the La Mesa dinnerware show-along with the 30-ft ArtStream Nomadic Gallery trailer-right in the Center Hall.
A Manufacturers/Suppliers and Nonprofits Exhibition will take place in conjunction with the Gallery Exhibition. Exhibitors will be exclusively made up of companies that provide products or services to the ceramic industry. To that end, industry experts will have an excellent opportunity to network, make new contacts, and grow their businesses.
In addition to the events at the Convention Center, the NCECA 2011 National Student Juried Exhibition will be held nearby at the University of South Florida. Jurors Neil Forrest and Ayumi Horie will choose among the work of participating student artists, and cash merit awards will be given in a number of categories. Winners will be announced during the conference's opening reception.
Educational ProgramSince NCECA's mission fundamentally focuses on education in the ceramic arts, lectures and discussion panels will again be a predominant facet of this year's conference. Renowned Florida author Carl Hiaasen will give the keynote speech on the evening of Wednesday, March 30. Throughout the next three days, additional lectures and panels will be given on clay art's relation to such relevant topics as digital design, multimedia, higher education, slip-dipping, marketing, study abroad, green issues, rococo, virtual ceramics, and more.
NCECA will also provide cooperative spaces for participants to hold useful and informative discussions about topics not touched on during the lecture schedule. At the Topical Discussions session on Thursday, members will meet with other individuals who have common interests, and group leaders will facilitate roundtable-type conversations among participants. Similarly, an NCECA Connections session on Friday will supply groups with a chance to share ideas and information on a particular subject of interest.
Other Program HighlightsVisitors will have a chance to support the NCECA Fund for Artistic Development by purchasing one of the hundreds of donated handmade cups available for sale at the annual fundraiser. The Cup Sale, which has been a conference tradition for the past 18 years, helps NCECA to fund scholarships, residencies and other programs that promote education in the ceramic arts. Attendees will be able to choose from an array of pieces by well-known artists, professional potters and ceramic students. Although the exhibition will be available for viewing on Wednesday and Thursday, the items will go on sale on Friday, April 1 from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m.
Additional events at this year's NCECA conference will include a daily video screening, live demonstrations, university showcases, the Potter's Jam, and the annual dance. In addition, several pre- and post-conference events in the Tampa/St. Petersburg area will be offered around the NCECA program schedule.

Kaneshiro is all long flowing locks and smoldering disdain, the visual F/X are only so-so, and pacing is almost brisk enough to hide the plot holes.
Yamazaki is clearly a science-fiction fan himself, and in Returner, he shows some worthwhile style, if only by stealing the biggest and best possible elements for his serviceably entertaining genre mashup.

The Accounts Receivable Department has an extremely high turnover due to poor Management- many quit, many get fired before probation. Lunch is 1/2 hour, low pay, raises are a joke.

PLAYERS: Andrew Luck, Reggie Wayne
TEAMS: Indianapolis Colts
TEAMS: Indianapolis Colts
The Colts are in position to make the playoffs. They may not win this week but Luck and company will put up some numbers. Here's a quick look at some Week 11 Starters. You know the obvious choices, here are some to consider. QB's - Carson Palmer - The Raiders have no running backs healthy, the Saints are going to put up 50 and have no defense. This all points to good things for the Raiders QB and WR's in terms of fantasy numbers. Look to Carson to throw 50 times in this game. - Andy Dalton - The Bengals have confidence coming off the Giants win. The Chiefs are terrible. - Andrew Luck - I had to think twice about this one but the Patriots give up the 6th most FPG to QB's and Luck and Wayne are playing well right now. If you have Luck, you should start him. RB's - Doug Martin - Not sure Martin is off the radar anymore but against the Panthers, this is a must start. WR's - Denarius Moore - Same reason you're starting Palmer. The Rai...

JASPER, Tenn. — City administrators have seen the problems that can ensue when work by a contractor is not insured, and now they are looking into permanently changing their policy on performance bonds.
Jasper Mayor Billy Simpson said performance bonds, which are issued by an insurance company or a bank to guarantee that a contractor completes a project satisfactorily, are required by state law for work totaling $100,000 or more.
The Jasper Board of Mayor and Aldermen is exploring the possibility of requiring performance bonds on any work totaling $25,000 or more.
"I think we'd be foolish not to do it," Simpson said. "It is not always required, but we still want to cover ourselves because I can cite several instances where it didn't happen and it caused huge problems."
Attorney Billy Gouger, who is serving as Jasper's interim attorney, said he recommends performance bonds on any major projects because they protect the town from harm.
"This type of bond does two things," he said. "It guarantees the contractor will perform the services under the contract that you pay them to do. It is also a payment bond. Any suppliers or sub-contractors that are hired on a project are guaranteed to be paid. It prevents them from having to file a lien against city property."
Performance bonds usually cost about $1,000, Gouger said, but that also buys peace of mind.
"For $1,000, you certainly couldn't pay for an attorney or another contractor to come in and do what needs to be done for the completion of a project if the original contractor defaults," he said. "If you don't bond [contracted work], you open yourself up to a lot of bad possibilities."
Officials said a performance bond also assures that a warranty on completed work is good for its duration even if the company that did the work goes out of business.
On Monday, the board asked Gouger to create a resolution dealing with performance bond practices, and members plan to vote on the issue at their next meeting on April 11.
"I don't think there's any question that this is something we should be doing," Simpson said.

A great conclusion to your part one of the story. Had me jump a couple of times. Very well thought out flashbacks, thoughts, and imagination running wild (what i mean is nice way of getting it all out visually and emotionally). This is exactly what happens to peoples minds when it runs rampant. Fears of the unknown really fuel this animation clip. I had actually seen this clip like years ago when i was around Elementary and intermediate school years.

Since 1962, the motor mavens at Big O Tires have been treating tin lizzies to a slew of services, including their specialty 30-minute express oil changes. The tireless techs speedily slurp out old oil with anteater-esque precision, replacing worn out filters, and rewarding loyal dip sticks with up to 5 quarts of new crude. Following a chassis lubrication, wheel wranglers remove each tire, before moving them and their entire DVD collection to a new home in an adjacent wheel well, helping to guarantee even wear and tear. After a thorough fluid check and preventative maintenance analysis, revamped rides are happily reunited with the owners to depart together into the sunset. Upgrades are available for diesel oil (price based on vehicle and location), high-mileage oil ($10–$15 extra), and synthetic oil ($20–$30 extra).
The certified carriage technicians at Roppel's tend to foreign and domestic motors with precise mechanical services. Reviving dog-tired automobiles for more than 60 years, Roppel's physicians refresh oil, tune brakes, and read motivational poems to underperforming transmissions. Owners can treat engines to a viscous elixir with the standard oil change and filter ($29.95) or give their four-wheeled friends the full vehicular pat-down with a complete inspection ($19.95).

While some children inherit their dad's old set of wheels, the McAllister brothers got a much better deal. They inherited what they refer to as the "car gene", soaking up their father's love of all-things automobile and turning it into a thriving family business?three businesses, as a matter of fact. Besides McAllisters Auto Center, the brothers also oversee McAllisters Collision Center and McAllisters Auto Mart, where they blend a childhood full of mechanical apprenticeship with years of industry experience.
At the auto center, the McAllisters zero their car connoisseurship in on vehicles that require quick maintenance work or in-depth repairs. Oil changes, brake repairs, and engine services rekindle cars' performance, and new tires from brands such as Goodyear and Firestone restore smoothness to rides that have lost traction, balance, or the ability to stop on a dime without messing up Roosevelt's hair.
With lube and service centers spread across America, Valvoline Instant Oil Change ensures that roads from coast to coast teem with automotive vigor. Certified technicians perform a roster of services, including quick in-and-out oil changes that allow motorists to arrive without an appointment and remain in their car while Valvoline oils forge a truce between metal parts. Facilities also encourage odometers to reach up to 300,000 miles with an engine-guarantee program that helps motors live long enough to see tow trucks go extinct. Valvoline extends its care to cars of all makes and models as well as charitable organizations.
Though founded originally founded in Alabama in 1945, today Goo-Goo Express Wash sprawls across 12 states, each emulating the original with its signature red-and-yellow motif and smiling uniformed staff. Donning the red ties, helpful Goo-Goo employees assist customers and cars with prewash treatments before sending them both on their way through the automatic tunnel. Inside, microfiber cloths and Goo-Goo's own line of biodegradable soaps work together to destroy dirt and muck during three levels of washes, including two that conclude with a spritz of tricolor and sealer wax. After the wash, Goo-Goo's self-serve vacuum cleaners and mat machines work overtime to suck up dirt and debris from seats, carpets, and carpooler's nostrils free of charge.

I don't really have a naming convention, at least not a consistent one. Sadly, for half of my tabletop gaming sessions, we didn't even bother to use names for our characters, at least not seriously. Bob The Fighter, Drizzle (drow twf ranger ofc), and Okay Fine I'll Play The Cleric This Time.
In WoW, my names are all over the place. From a variation on my long-held gaming handle Mycroft, Kegtotems for my dwarf shaman, to Beefprotpie for my tauren tankadin. Lately I've been naming new toons after in-game herbs, like Bloodthistle and Heartblossom. If it didn't cost so much money I'd try to rename all my toons with this scheme.
On another note, Chingchingpow is one letter too big from being a usable pandaren hunter name.
