Remember one thing: whatever Sigmund Freud says about dreams is only a partial truth, because all the beautiful structures in the world. The Taj Mahal must have been a dream in the mind of a creative artist. And the man, the emperor, collected the greatest sculptors and stone cutters from all over Asia - it took almost thirty years; one thousand sculptors, and ten thousand laborers were working for thirty years continually. And what was the reward to the dreamer whose dream became a reality?
Perhaps you are not aware what happened to all those creators who were part of creating the Taj Mahal, the most beautiful structure in the world. On a full-moon night, it again becomes almost like a dream. On a full-moon night, seeing it, you have a doubt - are you dreaming, or is it real?
The hands of the one thousand artists who had labored their whole lives were cut off by the emperor, because the emperor never wanted them to make another structure which could be better than Taj Mahal, or even could be equal to Taj Mahal. That was the reward.
Everything that you see in the world - the scientific progress, the technology, the great structures, the great gardens - were once nothing but a dream. Today, when you fly in the sky in an airplane, you never think that you are flying in the dream of two young fellows, the Wright brothers. And they were condemned. They were not very experienced, one was twenty, another was twenty-two, young boys, but the dream possessed them that if birds can fly, there must be a mechanism that can replace the wings of the birds. A simple idea, but they were poor.
Their father used to run a bicycle shop, he used to sell bicycles, he used to rent them. And in the basement of their house he used to throw all parts of bicycles which had become useless, rotten. At night those two boys, hiding in the basement, were trying to create a flying machine out of the useless parts. The family thought they were mad, and the whole city laughed, but undeterred, they went on working.
The day their first flying machine was ready they were afraid to tell anybody. They took the machine outside the house in the night when everybody was asleep, and in the morning, with the rising sun, they tried it for the first time. It flew not very far, just sixty feet high, not for very long, just for one minute it remained in the air - but that was enough; the principle was found. If a machine can rise to sixty feet, it can rise to six thousand feet; if a machine can remain for one minute, it can remain for hours. The basic principle had been found.
Then they informed the whole city; even their parents came to see. Nobody believed these crazy boys: "The whole day they sleep and the whole night they work, and who has ever heard that out of the useless parts of bicycles you can make an airplane?" The whole town gathered, and again they succeeded to give them the show. Then, from all over the world, people who were interested in flying machines rushed toward the place.
The house of the Wright brothers became almost a mecca. Great scientists came to pay respect to them, saying, "We have also been dreaming about it, but we never believed in our dreams so confidently. You are exceptional. You believed in your dream, you trusted in your dream; it is your trust that has transformed the dream into a reality."

Full title: Song of the Sinking Island
Note: This song is meant to pick up as it goes along, though it should start out fairly energetic. Any mixing / synth choices should be observed as progressive, thus any reviews should be given at the end of the song.
Also, I've been getting some comments on the mixing. I did my best to mix it well while still maintaining the sinking theme of the piece, though it's all up to preference. I will say after listening more I might've turned up the volume a bit more on the bongos, but again some people might prefer them lower.
I tried to compose something that would be less traditional or common without being completely out of the ordinary. I hope you like it!
Further notes (from reviews):
- The mixing at 1:43 and 2:43 is intentional, the mixing at 1:43 being transitional and the mixing at 2:43 being more inspired by a track by Dream Theater,
- The supplementary percussion is more clear in the original mp3. However, in the uploaded version you can hardly hear it.
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars December 18, 2012
I like it, name fits perfectly
The drums at the way beginning need to be a bit louder, but it's fine where it is at well .
Good work! :D
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars October 8, 2012
I was thinking you should raise the volume of the bongos seconds before reading what you said about them.
I'm sure there's a sweetspot a bit louder. As it is, it almost sounds like chaotic percussion because it might take a while to realize there are bongos playing.

NGADM Review:
I'm not going to write in length here. This is a very good piece in most regards, particularly orchestration wise. The melodies, harmonies and chord progressions you use are very very good. They're catchy, upbeat and very well implemented. The instruments that play them are also very good, and of a pretty decent quality. These two aspects come together to create an overall very high quality piece
Unfortunately, this is kinda ruined by the mixing, which isn't that great. In some cases, the instruments tend to overpower each other rather than come together as a whole. EQing is pretty decent, but could also use some work.
Also, the piece tended to get a bit repetitive and boring as it progressed, which made for a pretty tedious experience towards the end.
So overall, a good piece, with some minor drawbacks which you could fix quite easily.
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars September 17, 2012
This is an incredible improvement from your previous submission, in every aspect. Better harmonies, a great main melody and whatever you wish to call that background synth thing that plays something that's both a melody and a chord progression (seriously that was awesommmme). I really enjoyed the intro as well - the combination of the video game-ish melody and the straight kick drum at 0:13 is really quite hypnotic. And while you do have loooong melody lines with a lot of variations on the main theme like you did in the previous song, it feels a lot more consistent and meaningful here.
I really like transitions like 1:42 as well - you spread the sparse and the intense parts nicely so that you never exhaust the listener too much, despite the song being very high frequency oriented so to speak. The sounds are pretty neat - you've got an airy and open mix that properly showcases every synth you've got. Drums sound thick and kickin' too.
Two and a half minutes is about the point where the song starts to feel very tiring and I tend to skip it at that point - after that you just go on with the same themes you've used previously with little variation anyway so there's no point in listening further really.
So yeah overall a big leap forward since last time!
Rated 3.5 / 5 stars September 16, 2012
NGADM 2 and stuff.
Fairly dynamic, some cool themes, pretty synths, decent mixing, although I found the entire track sounded a little... back there... Dunno how to explain, it all sounded slightly muffled to me. I like the overall theme of the track, but it didn't really seem to go anywhere, and was perpetually stuck in the mood it started in, which I think was due in no small part to the repetitive drum part, which IMO had a huge impact on the feeling of repetitiveness.
Decent theme, easy on the ears, although fairly forgettable IMHO. 7/10.

Prayers for injured Federal Way pastor | Letters
I am terribly saddened to hear of the terrible injury of Mark Haukaas ("Federal Way pastor fights critical injuries after UPS truck crash," Dec. 20).
I am a UPS driver in Boston and I saw a link on Facebook about it. I will make a donation and pass the word along to the UPS community up here. He and his family will be in my thoughts and prayers this Christmas. My best wishes for a very speedy recovery.
Bob Bean, Boston, MA

I'm reviewing the latest album by these guys soon. This is the only song of theirs I've heard, and it's like nothing else I've heard before. I'm excited, but also scared that I won't know what to make of it. Here, try some weirdness: Teddybears, "Cho Cha" (feat. Cee-Lo & B52s).

This morning, I watched an older man lug a stubborn, beat-up old lounger 3/4 of a block. Then, at a random point, he placed it down and commenced to nap in it.
People smoking on bicycles, people smoking and sauntering onto tennis courts. Dirty coattails of a thought dragging through my mind. Another day sick at work, hopefully the last; mucinex and cough syrup, cough drops, the a-bomb. Scorching outside: when you look at the clouds, they seem to be backing away.

"But when Billie Holiday sang "Strange Fruit," the walls of censorship and fear came down. She sang it with her eyes closed, and the grace of her voice, born to sing that very song, turned it into a hymn. From then on, every black man lynched became more than a strange fruit swinging from a tree, rotting in the sun.
who at age fourteen achieved the miracle of rapt attention in the whorehouses of Harlem where she sang for her supper,
who hid a jackknife in her stocking,
who did not know how to defend herself from the beatings of her lovers and husbands,
who lived a prisoner of drugs and jail,
whose body was a map of needle pricks and scars,
who always sang like never before."

Graduated from The University of Northern Colorado in the May of 2005 with a Double Major in Speech Communication and Journalism with an Emphasis in PR/Advertising.
I have Over 9 years in the Fitness Industry I first started to work at LA Fitness as an Operations Manager for two years in Bellevue, and then as an General Manager for their North Seattle location for another 4 years. During that time I helped them grow as they expanded fast opening more the 21 locations while I was with them.
Started doing CrossFit about 3 years ago received my Level -1 CrossFit Certification 2 years ago and never looked back. To me building a better athlete versus building a bigger body just makes sense in what I was looking to get out of my training program.
Growing up playing basketball and football for my high school I started Olympic Weight lifting at the very young age of 14, but like so many other CrossFit athletes was exposed of my many weaknesses as I was learning all the movements especially the gymnastics as it was all very new. Just LIke me all our athletes will constantly grow and become more proficient at all of the movements of course there is always room for improvement.
For me the best part of starting this CrossFit Gym has been building the CrossFIt community here in North Seattle. I think that has been the biggest difference from moving from the big box with LA FItness to where your clients were just a dollar sign and then now coaching our athletes they are not only your client but your friend has you see them conquer their goals. Seeing each one of our members reach their athletic potential is the best part of my day.
Let us help you reach your potential 3...2...1 GO!
Coach Seth Schubert
Coach - (CF-L1)
I first heard about Crossfit in 2010 from an ex-girlfriend, at first I was a hater, I was currently working as a Personal Trainer at L.A.Fitness for the last 5 years and doing functional training with my clients. I loved my job but one thing, it was just to expensive for most people to get the help that they truly needed, seeing people walk in with all the motivation in the world only to be told that I couldn't help them because of financial limitations was just frustrating. Fitness is a lifestyle and first you have to learn what to do all the fancy machines and equipment at the big box gyms don't help if you don't know how to use them or how to push yourself to achieve results. Crossfit is different we don't have you work on machines you are the machine and you are an impressive one at that.
It has been two years since we opened Crossfit North Seattle and in that time Seth and I have been lucky enough to see SO many goals achieved from a first pull-up to running a 5k for the first time. Crossfit varies so much that at first it is humbling experience, but after you drop your ego and just have fun with it results come from every direction. Olympic Lifting, Gymnastics, Power Lifting, Kettle bells, Rowing, and Running the improvements just keep coming and with that motivation/attitude to accept that average is just not gonna cut anymore follows, I couldn't be happier!
So if you're not seeing the results you want and can't afford a full time trainer come in and give us a try. We built ourselves a little community of people that have one major thing in common. They are not afraid of hard work. The class is set up like a practice, we meet warm up go over the movements and 3,2,1 go we are fierce! everyone going at the same time scaled to everyone's personal needs. All the respect in the world follows!
Little bit about myself, I have always been involved in sports from an early age I did Gymnastics to being taught Tap and Jazz with my Mother to early Football, Baseball, Wrestling, Water Skiing, Snow Skiing, Mountain Biking, and Rock Climbing. I've been working with people for Close two 15 years and still get just excited as they do when I see people achieve something for the first time. I love my Career and wouldn't change a thing.Hope to see you sweating soon!

Aircraft Disinsection Information (ADI) Database User Guide
Other format
This information is also available in the following format:
- ADI User Guide
Version 4 - April 2013
[expand all]
1. Introduction
The Aircraft Disinsection Information (ADI) database is designed to provide up-to-date information regarding Residual and Pre-embarkation Disinsection Certification of international aircraft arriving into Australia, for the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry (DAFF), the Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI) and associated airlines.
The following two options are available to airline operators to meet Australian and New Zealand cabin and hold disinsection requirements:
- Residual Disinsection
Residual disinsection is where internal surfaces of an aircraft are sprayed at regular intervals, no greater than 8 weeks, with a residual insecticide.
- Pre-Embarkation Disinsection
Pre-embarkation disinsection is the spraying of the aircraft at the last overseas port. The treatment lasts for the duration of the single flight sector. Airlines must hold a DAFF or MPI Disinsection Compliance Agreement for either of these disinsection treatment methods.
Note: Cabin disinsection must be done in conjunction with hold disinsection with both options.
If an Aircraft arriving into Australia has not had their Residual or Pre-Embarkation treatment performed as per their Compliance Agreement Airlines must use either pre-flight and top of descent or on arrival disinsection methods. The pre-flight and top descent method will involve cargo hold spraying, and pre-flight and top-of-descent cabin spraying.
For more information see the DAFF/MPI Schedule of Aircraft Disinsection Procedures for Flights into Australia and New Zealand available on the DAFF website.

The only thing I hate more than having the nameplates visible while playing is belfs. The first time I experienced it, my cat had walked across the keyboard and hit the v key. I didn't know how to turn it off, so I just didn't play for a couple days. It's grotesque.
Anaughtybear said...
Once again, down-voted to oblivion for simply commenting like everyone else. Nobody else is particularly insightful on the subject, so I see no reason I'm the only one getting chopped. Maybe if you can't play PvP without the nameplates, you suck more than you thought you did. Just be thankful I'm not a "first!" poster and get on with your lives.

We love this dish! If anything, I would maybe add a little more squash, but other than that, it's fantastic. I served it with the Three-Pepper Pork Cutlets. The combo worked well, but I would recommend toning down the amount of red pepper in one or both of the dishes if you serve them together; otherwise, it gets really spicy!

To her family and friends, she was just "Nippy." A nickname given to Houston when she was a child, it stuck with her through adulthood and, later, would become the name of one of her companies. To them, she was a sister, a friend, a daughter, and a mother.
"She always had the edge," the Rev. Jesse Jackson said outside church Saturday. "You can tell when some kids have what we call a special anointing. Aretha had that when she was 14. ... Whitney cultivated that and took it to a very high level."

A few fans gathered Saturday morning hours before the service as close as they could get to the church, some from as far away as Washington, D.C., and Miami. Bobby Brooks said he came from Washington "just to be among the rest of the fans."
"Just to celebrate her life, not just her death," said Brooks, "just to sing and dance with the people that love her."
Others were more entrepreneurial, setting up card tables to sell silk-screened T-shirts with Houston's image and her CDs. But only the invited would get close to the church; streets were closed to the public for blocks in every direction. But their presence was felt around the church, with a huge shrine of heart-shaped balloons and personal messages that covered the street corner around the church entrance.
Houston's death marked the final chapter for the superstar whose fall from grace while shocking was years in the making. Houston had her first No. 1 hit by the time she was 22, followed by a flurry of No. 1 songs and multi-platinum records.
Over her career, she sold more than 50 million records in the United States alone. Her voice, an ideal blend of power, grace and beauty, made classics out of songs like "Saving All My Love For You," ''I Will Always Love You," ''The Greatest Love of All" and "I'm Every Woman." Her six Grammys were only a fraction of her many awards.
But amid the fame, a turbulent marriage to Brown and her addiction to drugs tarnished her image. She became a woman falling apart in front of the world.
Her last album, "I Look To You," debuted on the top of the charts when it was released in 2009 with strong sales, but didn't have the staying power of her previous records. A tour the next year was doomed by cancellations because of illness and sub-par performances.
Still, a comeback was ahead: She was to star in the remake of the movie "Sparkle" and was working on new music. Her family, friends and hard-core fans were hopeful.
The funeral is for invited guests only. Houston is to be buried next to her father, John Houston, in nearby Westfield, N.J.

The Search for Blight Resistance-enhancing Genes
The American Chestnut Research and Restoration Project
As molecular plant pathology research advances, more and more genes are being identified with a plant's ability to defend itself against disease (see Powell et al. 2006). To enhance blight resistance in the American chestnut tree, we are studying several gene products, regulatory regions of genes to control expression (promoters), and the possibility of combining two or more (gene stacking or pyramiding) for better and more sustainable resistance.
Sampling tissues at the margin of a blight canker on an American chestnut tree.
The first gene being tested in transgenic American chestnut encodes an enzyme called oxalate oxidase. This particular gene comes from wheat, but is found in many grass species. We have shown that this gene can enhance resistance to a fungal pathogen in transgenic poplar (see Liang et al. 2001). The oxalate oxidase gene is also being tested by other researchers to enhance pathogen resistance in many other plant systems such as peanut, soybean, sunflower, and oilseed rape and also to possibly increase salt tolerance in tomato. This gene was chosen to be used in American chestnut because the blight causing fungus, Cryphonectria parasitica, produces large amounts of oxalate at the margin of a canker. The oxalate oxidase enzyme can detoxify the oxalate by breaking it down to carbon dioxide and hydrogen peroxide. The hydrogen peroxide might have a second function which helps strengthen the lignin in the barrier produced by the chestnut in an effort to wall-off the fungal infection. We have some evidence that the oxalate oxidase enzyme can enhance lignin formation (see Welch et al. 2006). The first transgenic American chestnut trees planted in field tests contain the wheat oxalate oxidase gene controlled by a a vascular promoter isolated from soybean so that the enzyme is predominantly expressed in the stem tissues where infections occur.
Other genes that will be tested include a gene encoding an antimicrobial peptide which we have shown to enhance fungal resistance in poplar (see Liang et al 2002), a stacked (or pyramid) construct encoding the enzymes chitinase and oxalate oxidase (see Liang et al 2005), among other genes and gene promoters. We have also embarked on a multi-university collaborative effort to identify the resistant genes in Chinese chestnut (see Fagaceae genome project), which could be used to transform American chestnut in the future.
This is an exciting time for the transgenic American chestnut project as we begin our field testing of the trees. Over the next few years we will discover which genes will provide the highest levels of blight resistance while maintaining the characteristic and environmentally beneficial phenotype of the American chestnut.

Sharpening Lever, Screw Single Pole, 4pk (Item Code: LEVS-S)
Pack of 4 Replacement Screw-pivot, Single pole sharpening levers with shiny finish for harps. The Lever has a screwed arm that lifts to change the note of the string from the natural note to the sharp. The screw holds the arm, but is not adjustable for tension. When the lever is down it is free of the strings. When the lever is in the up position, it is engaging the strings. These have a Grooved Single pole mechanism, usually used for shorter and thinner strings.
Measure your existing levers carefully to match the size. With the lever in the down position, measure from the anchor plate of the lever (the part screwed to the harp) to the pole. The distance to the pole is 8 mm. The over all length of the lever in the down position is 1 3/4 inches (45 mm). The length of the pole itself is 5 mm.
The amount of lift, can be adjusted by pulling or pushing the bridge pin in by a 1/16 of an inch. This changes the point at which the string is engaged by the pole. You can also loosen the screw holding the lever to the harp and move the lever up or down. Again, by only a 1/16 of an inch at a time; very minor changes will have profound effects on the string's notes.
You need to supply your own 5/8 inch wood screw to attach the lever; available at most hardware stores.

Writing Evaluation Grade 5
The Grade 5 Writing Evaluation gives a student the opportunity to write an essay on one or more of four high-interest topics for that age group. Each essay the student writes will be charged a separate evaluation fee.
Rated 3.7 out of 5 by 3 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Chae Great Feedback This was very helpful in getting a more objective evaluation in my child's ability to express herself. Great resource! June 23, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by Mommy101 Bewildered parent I am wondering who does the writing evaluations. My daughter scored very high in language arts on the Stanford SAT. Her writing teachers complement her writing, yet your scorer was very critical. June 20, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Sportsmom Short, easy, quick return I wanted a writing test for my fifth grade son that was economical (versus a hundred dollars for some others out there) and not too detailed. This is exactly what I got. The essay offered my son a choice of four topics, too. Because of that, he did better I believe. I received my graded essay back in a week--very fast. The grader's comments were what I had been thinking, too. I only wish he had received a grade equivalency instead of a total raw score-- my only criticism. But otherwise, I an very happy with this test and highly recommend it. April 9, 2013

Comments about Perricone MD Cold Plasma Eye:
I am desperate for a great eye cream and did not hesitate to try this product when a friend recommended it. The smell, however, makes it so difficult to use. I wish they would offer two options, one with a fragrance option and one without (for those that are sensitive and don't mind the "natural" smell). The benefits, so far, do not outweigh the experience of the awful odor. I'll keep using it and see what happens.

Looking for a sweet ride? The Mekgineer's Chopper (Alliance) and Mechano-Hog (Horde) bike mounts not only look cool, but they let you carry a passenger, too. While you can't customize the license plate (they all say "PWN"), having a Chopper is definitely a great way to show off your toon. That is partially because of the price you must pay to build one of these fine pieces of craftsmanship!
Step 1: Find an Engineer
For horde engineers of 450 skill, the Mechano-Hog schematic is sold by the Horde Expedition vendor in Northrend. You must be exalted to buy it, and it costs 340 gold. For alliance engineers, you can buy the Mekgineer's Chopper schematic from the Alliance Expedition vendor in a similar fashion.
Step 2: Farm Some of the Mats
You'll need 12 Titansteel Bars, 40 Handful of Cobalt Bolts, and 2 Arctic Fur for your bike. These can be purchased on the auction house, or farmed for.
Handful of Cobalt Bolts are produced by an engineer using Cobalt Bars. This is the least expensive item on your list.
Arctic Furs are difficult to farm for, since they're obtained rarely when skinning Northrend mobs. You can buy them on the auction house, or trade 10 Heavy Borean Leather to Braeg Stoutbeard (the Fur & Leather Trader in Dalaran) to get an Arctic Fur.
Titansteel Bars are expensive to make. You can find them on the AH, or have a miner of 450 skill smelt them. You'll need three Titanium Bars, one Eternal Shadow, one Eternal Earth, and one Eternal Fire to make one Titansteel Bar. Alchemists can transmute eight Saronite Bars into one Titanium Bar, and transmute spec will proc extra Titanium Bars. Eternal Fire will likely be the most expensive eternal to obtain. If you can pick up cheap Frozen Orbs, you can trade them to Frozo the Renowned in Dalaran outside the Engineering shop for any eternal of your choice.
Step 3: Buy The Vendor Parts
The last three parts of your bike can't be farmed – you have to buy them from Roxi Ramrocket at K3 in the Storm Peaks. Only engineers with the schematic can purchase these parts. The total cost for the vendor parts is 12,500 gold. If your guild has the Bartering perk (level 24 or higher) then the vendor parts are lowered to 11,250 gold.
- 1 Elementium-plated Exhaust Pipe – 1500 gold
- 1 Salvaged Iron Golem Parts – 3000 gold
- 8 Goblin-machined Piston – 8000 gold (1000 each)
Step 4: Tip Your Crafter
If you had someone else craft this for you, don't forget to give them a tip for their time! With the total cost of a bike being about 15,000 gold or more, it's good etiquette to tip at least 500 to 1,000 gold. If you can't afford to tip that much – do you really need to be spending all your gold on a bike?
Step 5: Go Cruisin'
You've found an engineer to craft your bike, farmed all the mats, given them a fat tip – now it's time to hit the highway! Buckle up, don't drink and drive!

Why is everybody concerned about "how to solve the problems of 10 billion humans" instead of "how NOT TO REACH that amount of people"?
We know human overpopulation is the base of practicaly all the problems our planet faces today, how it comes nobody seems to care about it, instead of how to satisfy the needs of more and more people?

Now, what time is it? Do we have another bottle?
PS: I did not know you could do that (to revoke other people's rights)...
Sep 13 2012: Presently it's not about the world not being able to feed enough people, at present food production is actually in surplus, it's more about the distribution of food rather than production. The same applies to most natural resources (including water), distribution is the issue.
That said, distribution is only the culprit at present. If humanities population continues to grow I believe we will eventually hit a ceiling whereby we start to cause extinction on a more noticeable scale (not only the cute animals but also essential habitats too). As well an inability to produce enough food for the population due to these decreasing biodiversity levels, soil quality, and not to mention that old foe, climate change.
Areas that currently act as breadbaskets (e.g. the USA, which produces about 40% of the worlds maize) are suffering from increasing levels of desertification, which in turn decreases agriculture yield = less food. All problems that would be exacerbated if you imagine another 3 billion people.

Make sure an international audience can understand your content. It is in your best interest to create content that recognizes different measuring systems, currencies and time zones. Not everybody going to your site will be from a specific country, so make it great for foreigners and locals alike e commerce website.
Do repetitive testing on your website to make sure it works once each development milestone is reached.

This is a rant, not a blog. So if you expected a somewhat structured (albeit poorly) blog, this isn't that. Its just a big rant.
Ok, so like many others in this space, I'm starting to get a little bit fed up.
This week has been like the bi-polar topsy turvey e-sports week. Its completely retarded and as an investor I feel relatively ill to be a part of whats going on by any means.
Starcraft 2 is not dying, its shrinking. It won't die, but the bubble has burst but not in an overwhelming fashion. That is, watching the game no longer seems appealing to those who have bought it. This was inevitable, as the amount of new blood into the game is boardering 0 and has been boardering 0 for a while now. No real biggie, as the professional (prestige level) scene still exists and will remain existent.
Everyone has been spamming their opinions of what they think should happen. Everyone has their own agenda on why changes should be made. I.E Destiny's entire livelyhood depends purely on the casual gamer. Thus he wants the game to cater more to the casuals. If you watch his stream numbers between sc2 and LoL you will see that the LoL casuals are less likely to watch him than the sc2 ones. Thus it affects his business drastically that sc2 is not casual catered to. He's not wrong, Sc2 has huge flaws in its social abilities compared to the original battle net and starcraft usa-1 starcraft kor-1 and starcraft aus-1 days. Heck I even remember boxer being in a chat channel at one stage and 30 guys in there stalking him. This was exciting and it made you play the game more. It has its flaws.
Artosis posted that the game is fabulous amazing beautiful. He is right as well, the game is amazing, its complex, its beautiful.
Others ranted that custom games are crap. Again, correct (god i miss tower defense from wc3 and hydra ranchers).
All these are entirely valid points and opinions. All of them are correct. But it doesn't fix the problem. Making 4000 reddit posts and 4000 TL posts and 1 million tweets about it, also doesn't fix the problem. Infact, it makes you look like a child, and some of you may be classified as children and thats fine, but people in the spot light need to behave differently and without the use of the F word every 2 seconds. I am not talking about the reaction blizzard may have, but I am talking about, as a major e-sports sponsor, the affect it has on my mentality when I am sponsoring this…..
The thought crossed my mind to get out of this crap in the last 48 hours. And if it weren't for my attachment to my players/team/organisation, I would have pushed out company to exit in as efficient a manner as possible.
Anyway, push that aside for now. And lets move onto this slayers drama.
To be honest, I knew about slayers conditions and the situation for a long time now. Everyone in Korea did.
The actual in house conditions of Slayers are not the fault of ESF we can cross that off the box.
The practice conditions, sc2con and from what I can interpret, ESF are to blame for that although I have witnessed ESF players playing with slayers players in the past so am a little confused by this.
The issue we now have is, foreign fans between the age of lets say 12 and 50, are posting opinions of what they think is right and wrong in Korea. Then we have Korean fans siding with the idol, ESF fans saying Jessica is horrible and all this other shit flying around like the world is about to end.
As professionals in an industry (anyone mentioned in these articles and what not) there are HUGE mistakes made by all parties.
First of all, if you are being bullied in a space that requires fans, why aren't you exposing this bullying? Fans are powerful weapons, and can be used to help you provide them with entertainment.
Next, if you rely on fans, why do you do stupid shit like boycott a team that is such a fan favourite from the get go? I mean, seriously?
A question I would like answered is, after I had a run in with sc2con and went blatantly public with it, why didn't slayers come to me and say "We had a problem also here it is". I would have publicly spat that out so quickly. Sc2con was an abomination and I had every reason to insult it publicly to get things done.
One of the problems I am now facing as a person who wants an explanation for all actions from both sides, is that everyone has now gone tight lipped and anti-outsider. "Don't worry, just don't tweet kk?" is a common sentence being spat at me now. I tell you what, if anyone, foreign or Korean wants to survive in an industry like e-sports, you better start fighting for the greater good. If someone is pissing you off with bullshit tactics, start exposing it. If someone is harassing your players expose it. If someone is harassing you, expose it. Get it out in the public in a formal manner. Because sitting in silence in this market full of bullies, is not going to achieve ANYTHING.
Exposing this crap AFTER the fact doesn't achieve ANYTHING but damage to an industry. Theres no progress. Theres no growth. If anything it does the complete opposite, and I now question whether or not this was a motive for exposure. Was this done to hurt people more than they hurt you? I do believe in an eye for an eye, but you are blinding an entire industry instead of just those people.
Now before any of you say it, its not just sc2 now with this crap. Another (ANOTHER) LoL player was caught jacking off on stream? Seriously? Do you not give a crap about the thing you love so much?
There have been so many people making a living from e-sports for the last small amount of time who would not have made that money so "easily" (I use the word easily lightly because its not that easy to be an entertainer but its easy if it comes natural i guess??) doing a job they are suitably qualified for in the 'real world'. And now some of them are losing their livings because of the shift in the market. The volume of money entering the market that is not sales related is shrinking as well over all (some people might be getting more but it doesnt make up for the less that others are getting). So now what is the next step? Eternal damnation? Death by excessive reddit threads? Or we go back to square one, for the third time?
Heres some things I think need to happen, to clean this complete cluster fuck of crap up.
- Any federation or organisation that exists must publicly announce their meeting notes a la corporate board
- Any organisation that is using public media to promote their viewership numbers, must publicly post viewership stats (in order to control artificial inflation / market manipulation)
- Any action taken against a team or player that is not publicly noted, should be reported to reliable media sources in a formal sense (this should deter secret boycotting and childish bullshit)
- Anyone caught masterbating on a stream should probably seek psychiatric help
- Organisations who receive ill treatment from players or casters should report it formally to a federation or reliable media source for public disclosure (some of the behaviour these days is utterly disgusting)
- Players who which to whine about the game, should whine to blizzard directly on the blizzard forums so as to not fill the entire media space with what is the majority of whining about balance (the players aren't doing that, the community is). Balance is not the problem get over it. A huge increase in blizzard forum posting traffic would more likely make them pay attention than 4000 reddit threads with negative titles.
These are just a few things I have in mind, and will most likely submit to ESF, other than the masterbation one. I am still trying to get over that, sure it might be a mistake but …. seriously? I will never get over that.
The mere fact alllll of this came out at once, is like a major mess and has probably done at least 6 months of damage to the sc2 scene over all. Thats right, 6 months worth of fluff media on reddit including my blog posts, all wasted because of 2 days of drama. Just like all markets, the media market is no exception. When there is a bear day, its usually a large amount of bull days to make it back. This shit storm, I know for a fact has caught the attention of a large number of people with significant investment in starcraft. And let me tell you, they ARE NOT IMPRESSED.
Anyway, its all off my chest now. Its a rant, not a blog.

The Baylor Bears have unveiled their new Nike uniforms for the 2013 college football season and they are just as flashy and incredible as your would imagine. With their latest improvements that include some chrome helmets and facemasks, along with a number of uniform combinations, it looks like Baylor is becoming the Oregon Ducks of the Big 12.
In the video, Baylor unveils their green uniform set, black unis and (my personal favorite) the white look.
There really isn't a bad combination in the Baylor arsenal, so you have to check them out for yourselves.
Here is the hype video for Baylor's new Nike threads:
Out of all of the possible looks and features of the new combinations, what is your favorite of the new Baylor looks? Do you love or hate the new uniforms or are they on par with some of the best looks in college football?
