"I had a friend, who was a big baseball player back in high school, he could throw that speed ball by you, make you look like a fool." Bruce Springsteen – Glory Days
Back in the early 1980's spring training was a sleepy affair, held in small wooden ballparks, that were for the most part, built in the 1920's and 1930's. That changed in the mid-80s with the opening of the Houston Astros in Kissimmee at the (at the time) state-of-the-art mega complex. Pro-sports teams, are nothing if not copycats, so soon every team wanted a joint like the 'Stros had — the ballpark wars were on.
Cities in Florida and Arizona tripped over themselves running for their checkbooks to lure teams with the promise of bigger and better complexes. One of the first was the sleepy Gulf-Coast-fishing-burg of Port Charlotte. Located about 30 miles up the coast from Fort Myers, Port Charlotte has always been southwest Florida's red headed stepchild — smaller than Fort Myers and less chic than Naples. City fathers set out to change this image, and the first step was to be "major league". They built what was essentially a replica of the Astros' Kissimmee complex and lured to town Texas' other team, the Rangers.
Fifteen short years later, when the original lease ran out, the once state-of-the-art ballpark had, of course, been surpassed by newer, bigger, and better parks in other cites. In 2003, showing the undying loyalty pro-sports teams are known for, the Rangers abandoned Port Charlotte for Surprise, Arizona. This left Port Charlotte with an empty, antiquated ballpark and spring training complex.
In stepped the Tampa Bay Rays. Training just down the street from their regular season home in St. Pete since their inception in 1998, the Rays were looking to extend their fan base down the Gulf Coast. They knocked on Port Charlotte's door and struck a deal. In 2009, after $27 million in renovations, the Rays moved into their new, "old" home.
The renovations, by noted ballpark architects Populous, have done wonders for the place. New clubhouses, batting cages, new seats, a new façade for the grandstand, all new concessions and a team store are some of the highlights. The grandstand interior was for the most part retained, so the stadium lacks the open concourses of some of the newer parks. This, however, is cleverly made up for by the stadium's defining feature, the baseball boardwalk. The boardwalk rings the entire outfield, allowing fans to walk 360 degrees around the park.
Concessions ring the boardwalk including beer, gyros, burgers, and chicken sandwiches. On a side note, the cheese steak sandwich is the best I've ever had outside of Philly and is located next to the boardwalk's defining feature, the tiki bar in left center field. The beer selection includes Sam Adams, Yuengling, and Summit Pale Ale, but alas, no hometown Cigar City brew.
The renovations by Populous and the Rays are, in my opinion, brilliant. They give the place a more intimate and relaxed feel than most of the other, newer spring training parks. There are places to stand, or sit on barstools, and chat baseball with your fellow fans or even the players. It's almost like an updated version of the older spring parks that brought fans and players close together for one glorious month every spring, when all players are equal, and all teams in first place.

Frozen shoulderTags: None
My shoulder was impinged and was about to be frozen. You need to see an orthopedic doctor, and he should set you up for physical therapy. You should act quickly if you can. I did not have any autoimmune problems at this time. But inflammation plays a big role in frozen shoulder. PT really helped!
Hi Margaret, I had a frozen shoulder about 10 years ago, and oh boy, did it hurt. At the time I had been diagnosed with 'CFS' (probably was Lupus) so I don't know of any connection between that and autoimmune disease. I delayed going to my GP with it, big mistake, he gave me a steroid injection in the shoulder, but he said it should have been done sooner for the best effect. It didnt help, and I went for weekly physiotherapy, which helped each time, but only for a few hours. Again, I should have gone sooner. It didn't ease completely until about a year afterwards - I took anti-inflammatories for it. You have my sympathy!
Welcome to the site Margaret.
In everything I have read they say the cause is unknown. It does tend to occur more frequently with inflammation so doctors see it more in patients with diabetes, thyroid and auto immune disorders. It can also happen in the general population as with my mother-in-law after an injury to the shoulder. In my mom's case it is considered a symptom of her Parkinson's.
The others have given you great advice about the physical therapy. It helps speed up the recovery and in the long run makes it less painful. You might also experiment with heat and ice since there is an inflammation component. My mom prefers heat and my mother-in-law preferred ice.
I wish you a speedy recovery.
Take care,
Many thanks everyone for your help. My Dr did an urgent referral for me and I'm seeing physio on Monday! Have been using heated wheat bag too on shoulder and taking the painkillers! Will keep you posted.

12 Snappy Comebacks for Breastfeeding Comments
Many of us breastfeeding mothers have been there: that awkward moment when a stranger or family member makes an ignorant comment about our decision to breastfeed more thanbeyond six months, or flashes a dirty look because we dare to (gasp!) nurse our hungry baby in public. Although we can take solace in the fact that such reactions are often borne out of lack of understanding, that doesn't mean we can't also arm ourselves with some incisive retorts to hopefully end the unwelcome comments once and for all. To that end, I bring you:
12 Snappy Comebacks for Breastfeeding Comments
12 Snappy Comebacks for Breastfeeding Comments
1. "Am I still nursing? Of course notmy mom weaned me a long time ago. My baby still is, though!"
2. "If the sight of me feeding my child offends you, perhaps you would feel more comfortable with a blanket over your head."
3. "With the money I'm saving on milk, may I buy you some tact?"
4. "Which aspect of my breastfeeding bothers you most: my baby's lowered risk of illness; his sense of security; or his potentially higher IQ?"
5. "Of course I'm still nursing. I'm so happy you keep asking. It shows you want the best for the baby."
6. "The bathroom? No, thank you. The only thing that should be fed in there is the restroom attendant's tip jar."
7. "C'mon, you see more cleavage on a women's magazine cover!"
8. "Do you often counsel women on what they should do with their breasts?"
9. "The baby takes after his dadhe prefers his beverages on-tap."
10. "It's time for me to stop breastfeeding? Oh, I had no idea the World Health Organization had changed its recommendation!"
11. "Yes, the baby is still nursing and her doctor is thrilled. So many moms give up due to pressure from rude friends and family."
12. "With all of the things going on in the world, the way a loving mom chooses to feed her child should be the least of anyone's concerns."

Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, said Tuesday that he won't run again in 2018 if he wins a seventh term this fall.
Hatch, the state's longest-serving senator, faces several intraparty challenges this year from former state Sen. Dan Liljenquist and Rep. Chris Herrod. Democrat Pete Ashdown is making a second run at Hatch's post.
|Join the Discussion
|Post a Comment
While he had previously hinted that his next term would be his last, on Tuesday at a Utah Capitol news conference on federal land management he made it official. First, he said in passing that he would like to see the state succeed in its efforts to control federal lands "during my last term in the Senate."
"I don't have time to run after this one," Hatch said in a Tribune interview after the news conference.
Hatch is 77 and will have a birthday later this month. He would be 84 before the next time his seat is up for election in 2018.
"I've said it will be my last term," he said, "but I want to make it the best six years anyone's put in for Utah."
Hatch's challengers have said it's time for new leadership, and he's facing opposition from some of the same tea party activism that toppled former Republican Sen. Bob Bennett in 2010. The senator's campaign argues that his seniority will count for Utah, especially if Republicans retake the Senate this year and Hatch takes over chairmanship of the Finance Committee.

This Five Tracks mix consists of songs that all feature big, uplifting melodies and faster, bouncier beats than what we've featured of late. We're aware that the last few mixes have been moodier and murkier; it's probably winter settling in that's made those records feel appropriate. Anyway, Five Tracks 28 consists of pure peak-time records and is the sort of set we'd play for you if we only had a half-hour to make you move, even as it jumps across genres.

So, What Did We Learn From Shanahan's Presser Today?
He still hasn't squashed the story that was reported by ESPN.
It would only take him 2 minutes to clean out his office.
He did talk with Snyder today and was asked how is his relationship with RGIII. Shanny said he doesn't have to be his best friend. He's his head football coach. Wants to make him the best QB possible.
Biggest misconception about team is that they're not focused on football.
Get's along with Dan, has been supported by Dan and hopes to win for him.
Believes players are still giving effort. Said he loves these guys (players). He and Dan will meet after the season and he'll give his opinion and Dan will make the final decision.
Royster out for the season. Haven't decided on roster move yet.
He's considering sitting Robert Griffin III for the remainder of the season to keep him healthy and ready for the offseason. I find that one interesting because for the last couple of weeks all he's talked about is RGIII needing the reps to develop as a drop back QB. Now all of a sudden he's concerned about his safety. Me thinks that there could be other motives behind this proposal but we'll see how it plays out.

You've probably noticed that a lot of my Magix techniques involve a lot of focusing on stuff. I know that many people have issues with focusing well, as most of us have tons of little voices running around in our heads reminding us about what we need to do for dinner, about that dry cleaning we missed, the tv shows that will be on tonight, or that project we're shluffing off to go watch tv. All of these little voices can make it a challenge to focus on a clean house or blocking out bad stuff. So how does one combat this?
Now, I have no clue how to defeat the mind goblins forever. Making your mind perfectly still at any time or for all time is not something I can do myself, let alone teach someone else. However, I want this guide to be helpful for while you are doing your magix. Being able to still your mind or get your mind to focus on what is going on right now, or what you need your magix to do is key. Hopefully some of the ideas presented here will help you to create stronger magix.…

Ryanair said it will appeal Wednesday's ruling by a provincial court in France that imposed fines and damages totaling €8 million ($10.8 million), the majority of which relate to alleged non-payment of French social insurance and state pension contributions for Ryanair crews flying to and from Marseille from 2007 to 2010.
In a decision opening the way for Hawker Beechcraft to emerge from Chapter 11 bankruptcy later this month, U.S. Bankruptcy Court today approved the Wichita OEM's joint plan of reorganization. "Today's ruling marks the final significant step in the restructuring process," said Hawker Beechcraft CEO Steve Miller. The company said that, as part of the reorganization, it will be rebranded Beechcraft Corp.
At press time Hawker Beechcraft was expected on January 31 to seek confirmation of its plan of reorganization from bankruptcy court, allowing the company to emerge [from bankruptcy] some time in February, which is when the name change to Beechcraft Corp. will also become effective.
With Hawker Beechcraft attempting to clear the final hurdle in Chapter 11 proceedings and emerge from bankruptcy, Judge Stuart Bernstein said earlier today that he would approve the joint plan of reorganization for all but one of the subsidiaries currently under Chapter 11 protection. Bernstein reserved judgment regarding the Hawker Beechcraft Corp.
The Boeing bargaining unit of the Society of Professional Engineering Employees in Aerospace (SPEEA) has set a date of February 4 for sending strike ballots to its members, union director Ray Goforth told AIN last Wednesday. Members of the Bargaining Unit Council (BUC), consisting of all the company's "relevant" shop stewards, reached the decision on Tuesday night, during a meeting in which the council agreed to support the negotiating team's rejection of the company's "best and final offer."
In a filing in bankruptcy court just before Christmas, Hawker Beechcraft asked for court approval to shed two underfunded pension plans covering some 9,500 non-union workers and retirees. The request is part of an agreement with the federal government's Pension Benefit Guaranty Corp. (PBGC) and the OEM's machinists' union. Terms of the agreement require PBGC to assume responsibility for the two terminated pensions, while Hawker Beechcraft will keep the pension plan covering its 8,200 current and former union employees. A hearing to consider the plan is scheduled for January 17.
A major hurdle facing Hawker Beechcraft in its effort to restructure and emerge from Chapter 11 bankruptcy is the sale of the Wichita OEM's inventory of Hawker 4000s. The hearing date for the company's request for court approval of the sale is now set for December 11, following a decision last week by judge Stuart Bernstein to deny the company's request for an expedited hearing and sale.
A bankruptcy court judge on Friday denied a request from Hawker Beechcraft to give eight of the Wichita OEM's "senior leadership team" as much as $5.3 million in bonuses. HBC had filed the request with the U.S. bankruptcy court on August 15, describing the bonuses as based on the achievement of certain incentive goals.

UPDATED: Liberty Hall Founder Michael Condray Recuperating After Brain Surgery
UPDATE (April 11, 2:15 p.m.): According to Lonnie Brantley, Condray will be released from ICU this afternoon.
Photo courtesy of Bob Novotney Michael Condray (far left in white t-shirt) and the staff of Family Hand
I last saw Michael Condray five years ago at his home outside Porter. I was working on a story about his legendary Houston venue, Liberty Hall, where Bruce Springsteen found his first success in Texas and where a budding guitarist named Billy Gibbons would occasionally work out. Condray loaned us some significant photos for that article.
One of the quiet giants of Houston's music scene in the late '60s and '70s, Condray is in Hermann Memorial Hospital following an emergency brain surgery to relieve pressure Wednesday night, according to an email from his friend Lonnie Brantley.
Brantley added that Condray is suffering from both brain and lung cancer, and is in dire condition. Informal vigils are planned for this weekend.

Paint Finish Inspiration: A Gallery of Moody Matte Walls
I'm a sucker for a dramatic glossily lacquered wall color, but lately I've been falling hard for matte finish. It looks especially dreamy on deep moody colors. Don't you just want to curl up in these rooms and hibernate till Spring comes again?
Really matte walls are a headache to care for, to be sure, and every time anyone brushes against one is a minor disaster. But the look is so pleasing, it would be a fun finish in a less-trafficked area.
I especially love the look when it's paired with a high-shine metallic or lacquer, like the gold frames in image 2 or the disco shower in image 4.
What do you think? Do you like the matte look?

I really, really want to do a accent wall in a color similar to #3, but have heavy texturing on my walls. Does super-matte look super-bad on textured? Should I take the time to skim coat first? Any advice welcome...
i absolutely adore it paired with kelly green curtains in photo 7.
I've heard most people recommend matte finishes for uneven surfaces because it helps to camouflage the imperfections.
So could someone let us amateurs in on the secret to achieving this kind of effect?
Yeah matte looks great even on textured walls. My tiny secound bath was painted in a deep matte blackish grey, I just recently repainted with a gloss high humidity and matte don't mix:( dust can also be an issue. It did look beautiful for a while!
Is there a difference between matte and flat paint? Google is not enlightening me.
How do you get this velvety look?
Love matte. Feels like more depth. I feel like gloss emphasizes the end of space.
So, what is the actual color name and maker of the first one? Followed the link, and all I could find was "A Perfect Grey," and that does not look grey to me.
Same with the second.
I like #5 and #6.
I have inadvertently achieved this effect on a small scale when trying to touch up a wall ;-)
I think the author of this article is using the word "matte" as a substitute for "flat." However, in the world of paint finishes, matte is different than flat. Every wall in my house is painted in a matte finish. It's beautiful! I have two dogs and a child so I wash my walls pretty much daily. Matte is a truly opaque finish without the "chalkiness" a flat often has. It hides imperfections well and looks very rich. It almost seems layered. The depth of color in a matte is incredible. Benjamin Moore's Aura or Regal paint is where it's at people!
K&K - really excited to hear that! i just bought 3 cans of aura paint in the matte finish this past weekend. thought i was going to go for eggshell/satin, but the paint guy convinced me that the matte is just as durable as eggshell/satin but does a better job at hiding imperfections. can't wait to paint!
This purple wall is heavenly. I imagine it looks best in daylight, and not in a dark corner, but it makes me want to go buy the color immediately!
Nevermind the wall, I want that large painting in the 1st image!
I have to say that when I painted a whole room with a pattern to look like wallpaper, I used matte finish paints in Benjamin Moore's Aura line, and seriously, they really are matte, but they truly are scrub-abble.
I've used Benjamin Moore Aura in matte finish all over my house - except the kitchen and bathroom. It is very durable and scrubbable.
I almost started buying the satin finish before painting the house. The paintshop guy was like "why would you do satin? it only highlights the imperfections! go for the matte!" I'm so glad I did. Lots of imperfections in my old walls, but the matte evens it all out, visually you can't see anything.
These are all delicious! I also feel like matte and flat gives you a truer color, since the walls are not reflecting light.
My walls are old and have lots of little imperfections, so I was planning on matte finish from the start. When we got paint samples they only came in satin, and after living with those blocks of color on the wall for a couple weeks I can tell matte will be much more beautiful. With satin you get an annoying reflection that makes the paint look white from many angles. Other than supposed durability I don't understand why satin is such a popular finish.
We are doing Sherwin Williams Cashmere in flat finish, it's supposed to self-level very well and hide imperfections.
Matte is washable, flat is not. The issue isn't that matte hides imperfections, it is that glossy finishes highlight them.
I'm in the midst of my own "Moody Glam" makeover, as I'm calling it. I am loving the changes from the puke yellow the room used to be.
Here's the latest addition to the "after". (Haven't finished the whole room yet.)

Hardball with Chris Matthews, April 18, 2012 -- The controversial conservative lobbying group ALEC is ending its work on non-economic issues, including pro-gun laws like Florida's "Stand Your Ground" law. Lisa Graves, Executive Director of the Center for Media and Democracy, and Salon's Steve Kornacki discuss the potential impact of ALEC's move, and whether states will rethink Stand Your Ground laws in light of the shooting death of Trayvon Martin.

Book Description:
The continuing violence in the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) can be bewildering in its complexity: in the profusion of armed factions, the plethora of acronyms, and the multitude of grievances that trigger outbreaks of conflict—be they political, financial, or ethnic; local, national, or cross-border. The province of North Kivu has been the epicentre of war in the DRC. It has generated a multitude of armed groups, with over two dozen emerging over the past two decades. It was here that the precursors to the Congo wars began with ethnic violence in 1993, and it is here that the most formidable challenges to stability in the country persist today. The present report sketches the historical backdrop to these conflicts, describing their social, political, and economic dynamics. It focuses on the southern part of North Kivu—in particular the territories of Masisi, Rutshuru, and Walikale—where the Congolese government currently faces the most substantial challenge to its authority. The armed groups that have emerged in North Kivu have features in common, but there is no comprehensive theory that explains them all. They draw on three sources of instability: local, regional, and national. The Congolese state is decrepit and partial to private interests. It has neither the rule of law to guarantee property rights nor the force of law to suppress armed rivals. This weakness reinforces the belief that the only way of protecting property and individual freedoms is through armed force. Such violence has exacerbated tensions between local communities, in particular a rift between so-called indigenous groups—those communities whose presence is most entrenched—and the Hutu and Tutsi populations, many of whom arrived as immigrants during the colonial and post-colonial periods. Most of the fighting today draws directly on this cleavage, hardened by two decades of killings on both sides. Finally, local elites, especially in Kigali and Goma, have developed a stake in armed groups, which they believe maintain their interests—either directly, by providing protection to businesses and their personal security, or indirectly, by bolstering their influence and giving them political leverage. This potent blend of ethnic discrimination, state weakness and elite interest has rendered the conflict, in the eyes of many outside observers, intractable. But the armed groups also differ significantly. While some emerged organically from the realities of rural life, others were deliberately created by local politicians, and still others were exploited to serve the interests of urban businessmen. Some have lost touch with their initial motivations, while others stick to the pursuit of their founding principles. Most intriguing, from the point of view of policy and advocacy, some have disappeared while others resist and persist. Disentangling these differences can help explain the major obstacles to peace in the region.

BACKGROUND: The objective of this study is to differentiate PSP from Parkinson's disease through magnetic resonance imaging. METHODS: We included 14 consecutive patients with PD (9) or PSP (5). These measures included the third ventricle, midbrain diameter, quadrigeminal plate, brainstem volumetry, and interpeduncular angle. RESULTS: Patients with PSP presented enlargement of third ventricle (100% vs. 33%), lower midbrain diameter (mean 13.2 +/- 1.7 mm vs. 16.5 +/- 1.7 mm) and thinning of the quadrigeminal plate (mean 2.7 +/- 0.3 mm vs. 3.6 +/- 0.3 mm) in comparison with PD. CONCLUSIONS: Characteristic findings on MRI may help to differentiate PD from PSP.

Josh Thomsen gathers talent for Claremont wine fest
Josh Thomsen knew from a young age that he wanted to be a chef and credits his late father, Jerry, for sparking his culinary interest. His dad would put in a long day as a stockbroker, come home, go to the market, and then cook up a storm — making a mess, using every pot in the house, and turning out a delicious dinner.
The Culinary Institute of America grad has done his dad proud. Thomsen's resumé includes stints at the French Laundry in Yountville, Hotel Bel Air in Los Angeles, and The Lodge at Pebble Beach. He's also worked in kitchens in big-buck Las Vegas venues like Tao Restaurant at the Venetian Resort, the Mansion at the MGM Grand Hotel, and the Michael Mina-owned Nobhill Tavern.
These days Thomsen, 40, is the executive chef at local landmark The Claremont Hotel, Club, and Spa, known for its regal white facade and killer views. Until recently, though, the hotel wasn't exactly known as a destination dining experience. … Continue reading »

When I was 13 years old I walked out of the store having bought my very first PC game: Baldur's Gate 2: Shadows of Amn. I was excited and very proud of myself with the purchase. Having just finished a successful D&D campaign, I was thrilled to have a game governed by the ruleset I thought I mastered. I didn't realize at the time that there was a first part to this saga (the number "2″ on the box had eluded me). All I knew was that I was ready to begin my foray into the lands of the Forgotten Realms.
I took the game home and quickly realized that the only PC in the house that could adequately run the game was my older brother's. We put disc one into the drive and patiently read through the game manual as the installation took place. Disc 2 was inserted and I was already plotting the backstory to Gem, a Blade (subset of a Bard) from Waterdeep. Disc 3 was almost complete when all of a sudden, the screen went blank. I panicked, and ran over to the flimsy desk holding the giant computer tower and checked all the cables to the monitor. Everything was connected, and I could still hear the disc humming in the drive. My father recommended restarting the PC and then reinstalling the game. One little problem: the PC would not turn back on after completely shutting it down. Come to find out, my brother's PSU had fried from the Vegas heat. Heartbroken, I put the two discs I had still in my possession (I wouldn't get disc three out for a few days) back in the game box, but still held onto the manual. It would be two years before I could actually play the game.
When I was finally able to play the game, I was instantly hooked. Enthralled really. It's as if BioWare had cast a "Command" spell on me to play this game, and I wholeheartedly listened.
So imagine my excitement when it was announced last year that Baldur's Gate Enhanced Edition was coming out, I was excited (in fact, you can hear how excited I was in our Quest Legion podcast. Episode 2), but I really wanted to see if SoA would also be released. I have a greater connection with it due to my history regarding the game.
Overhaul made me a very happy person indeed when it was announced that Baldur's Gate 2 would be given the same "Enhanced" treatment. The Enhanced Edition comes with not only "Shadow of Amn," but also the conclusion to the epic Bhaalspawn Saga, "Throne of Bhaal." Also included is the "Black Pits" arena, and has become a continuation to the story found in the first "Black Pits" with Baldur's Gate Enhanced Edition.
Overhaul has really kept the feel of the original Baldur's Gate 2, much like they did with their enhancement of the first entry of the series. The story that kept me ignoring friends and family the summer of my junior year of high school is still there, and it had me ignoring my wife and daughter the past few nights as I battled Duerger, goblins and hobgoblins throughout the landscape of Amn.
Visually, the team at Overhaul has done an amazing job remastering the original background art to fit a widescreen monitor. The comparison shots just don't do the change justice. You really need to get into the game to see how crisp the environments really look. In fact, the only blemish on the screen is the sprite you control! While the character models could look better, I would rather have it this way as it reminds me of crudely painted figurines on a pen and paper version of D&D. The ability to zoom in and out of the environments makes a return from the previous Enhanced Edition, and it really makes selecting targets in combat a lot easier sometimes, especially when you are using a hallway as a choke point for your enemies and the sprites get clustered together.
The combat is as unforgiving as ever, and fans of the series would have it no other way. While archaic by today's standards, the combat really makes this game both free flowing and a real-time strategy game. My spacebar has taken a beating these past few nights, constantly pausing the game to set up my party's attacks and counters. Many times I was required to dust off my old AD&D 2nd Edition tomes to refresh myself on how AC and THAC0 worked, types of weapons and tactics, and to examine spell descriptions. The inner strategy of not only positioning your party correctly, but also the make-up of said party kept me second guessing myself for hours, and I loved every second.
Because of how unforgiving the combat can be, as well as trying out different party combinations, the trusty quick save button should become your best friend. The UI has also been cleaned up since even the enhanced version of the Baldur's Gate. The buttons seem more streamlined and the UI seems a tad bit smaller, giving you more room to enjoy the high resolution environments.
Three new characters and story lines were introduced in Baldur's Gate Enhanced Edition, and this edition picks up the story where you left off seamlessly as if they were part of the original game in 2000. In fact, had the game not reminded me that they were new, I probably would not have noticed. Additionally, Overhaul has added another character on top of the three returning entries: the Thief Hexxat. Out of the new additions, her story had to be my favorite, though all of the character's story lines and interactions are beautifully written and well voice-acted. The only disappointment in the voice-overs I found was the owner of the Black Pits. Otherwise, the new content is well done, and the music and sound effects really hold up over time.
The game is not without some problems, however. During one playthrough the game did crash a few times. A patch seemed to take care of that, but it was still annoying nonetheless. One other point of aggravation is the AI pathing in the game. While BGEE didn't seem to clear this up, my hope was that with the second Enhanced Edition, Overhaul would be able to work something out to fix this issue. Sadly, I found myself times beyond count having to regroup my party in a central location so I could move them where I wanted, otherwise some instances I would find Minsc or Neera off in some corner of the map trying to find me. Other than these issues, the game as a whole really handles well, and a lot of the additions and enhancements made in the first Enhanced Edition find their home perfectly in BG2.
In the end, the Baldur's Gate series has always been about the story and the characters driving that story. The superb story line that defined the original version is as compelling today as it was thirteen years ago. Gamers new and old will find themselves lost in the world of Faerûn, battling scores of enemies, uncovering the mystery of Jon Irenicus, and busting out in laughter at the banter between Minsc and the Miniature Giant Space Hamster Boo. Overall, the enhancements do just that: they "enhance" the original experience without taking away from what made the game great to begin with. Supplement the original with the additions of Neera, Dorn, Rassad and now Hexxat, Baldur's Gate 2 Enhanced Edition will give you hours of enjoyment, on top of the amazing content that was present in Shadows of Amn and Throne of Bhaal. Add in The Black Pits addition and you've got a package that, in my opinion, is worth every penny.
+ Story from the original release is still as compelling as ever, and the enhancements don't detract or distract from this
+ Combat is as unforgiving, yet satisfying, as the original
+ New Characters and The Black Pits add-on give hundreds of hours of extra gameplay, on top of the already superb story line
- Some stability issues
- AI pathing still a hindrance, especially in hallways and caves

Shanahan: "We do this with integrity"
Source: Orange County Register - Jun 2, 2012 at 8:44 PM
Yahoo sports had an interesting story this week about Brendan Shanahan and his first year on the job as the NHL's head disciplinarian. Here's one section of the story: When a hit is flagged, he (Shanahan) surveys the opinions of his partners – Rob Blake, Stephane Quintal and Damian Echevarrieta – as well as (Colin) Campbell, Mike Murphy and Kris King in hockey operations. (Campbell does not weigh in on the Boston Bruins, because his son Gregory plays for them.) Each emails Shanahan directly with no carbon copies, so no one influences anyone else. Shanahan decides if there is a hearing, and if there is one, he and his partners participate and deliberate before he makes the decision. "That's the one thing that allows us to put

Did you need to trim the length because the strip was too long or did they not fit into the slot? (wrong size along the long side).

Jury selection and trial for an alleged rapist get underway Wednesday morning in Fairbanks Superior Court.
Timothy Bedwell, 53, is accused of sexually assaulting an adult, and sexually abusing two children.
Bedwell was taken into custody in California, after he had been indicted by a Fairbanks Grand Jury in August, 2012.
Bedwell is charged with one count of First and Second Degree Sexual Assault, 10 counts of First Degree Sexual Abuse of a Minor and
24 counts of Second Degree Child Sexual Abuse.
Alaska State Troopers say the incidents occurred in Fairbanks over the course of several years, between early 2003 and 2010.
During their investigation, they say Bedwell fled the state and had changed his name when he was apprehended.
If convicted, Bedwell faces a maximum life prison term.
This is a developing story.
News Center 11 will have more when information becomes available.

In the City of Angels, when the java jive has you in its spell, it's good to know who's making coffee with Italian cred.
Espresso hounds the world over are often dismayed by what most North Americans, raised on diner coffee and Starbucks, regard as a great cup of coffee. Seattle and San Francisco were the first US cities to get serious about the basics of quality coffee: premium beans, superior roasting techniques, state-of-the-art machines and expertly trained baristas. New York, more recently, has accumulated a handful of coffee shops on a par with the best of Italy and Australia. And now, finally, Los Angeles is stepping up. Intelligentsia cafe, in LA's hip Silver Lake neighbourhood, is heaven for espresso aficionados living on the city's East side. But if you're staying or doing business on the West side – in Santa Monica or near LAX – you'd have to be a true fanatic to brave an hour and a half in traffic. Here is a guide to ensure you find the best coffee in the City of Angels.Aroma4360 Tujunga Avenue, Studio City.+1 818 508 6505. Caffe Luxxe925 Montana Avenue, Santa Monica.+1 310 394 2222. Euro Caffe9559 South Santa Monica Boulevard, Beverly Hills.+1 310 274 9070.Intelligentsia3922 West Sunset Boulevard, Silver Lake.+1 323 663 6173. Terroni7605 Beverly Boulevard.+1 323 954 0300.
If you like your coffee strong, Kings Road Cafe won't disappoint. It's great for people-watching and the kind of high-quality eavesdropping opportunities that usually come with a much steeper price tag. (Think: "We can get Tom for this movie.") Website Lamill's Silver Lake cafe is designed to within an inch of its life by someone with a penchant for the Palace of Versailles and snakeskin. The coffee and food aren't cheap, but they're very good. And next door is Yolk, one of the best stores in LA to find wares and toys made by local artists. Website Groundwork's store on West 2nd Street is one of the few good espresso options in this part of LA. Groundwork founder Richard Karno was one of the first LA cafe owners to roast his own coffee. His company also supports fair-trade principles. Website
Urth Caffe is an LA institution. With a focus on organic produce, Urth has four locations around the city (the latest opened in Downtown last September). The West Hollywood branch is the best for people-watching. Website Originally from Berkeley in northern California, Peet's Coffee & Tea has about 30 stores in Los Angeles County and nearby Orange County (the website provides an easy locator). By growing at a slower pace than some of its competitors, Peet's has managed to maintain quality. Website Joan's On Third is a foodie's paradise, its gourmet offerings reflecting the cafe's origins – and ongoing business – as a catering company. In the middle of a row of boutique clothes shops on West 3rd Street, it's the perfect pit stop for shopping, eating and Angeleno-watching. Website
Fred Segal Mauro Cafe. You might need more than a shot of espresso to recover from the kind of credit-card havoc this renowned LA fashion stop metes out daily. Fortunately, Fred Segal's in-house cafe/restaurant also has an extensive wine list. The patio area is excellent for spotting stars, botox and obscenely rich teens.

Juggling act
At Founders Garden, Jan Smuts Street, Cape Town, you'll find aspirant young circus trainees putting in hours of practice to achieve the skills needed to showcase their talents to the public. These include juggling, unicycle, lunatrics, tumbling and trapeze, to name a few.
It's a circus out there!

Zip Zap's mission is to provide innovative, cutting-edge professional training and entertainment which enables the youth to fulfill their potential and contribute towards the building of a healthy nation. The school is open seven days a week and is free of charge. Youths aged 12-16 train after school and over weekends and on public holidays, while younger children play in the tent from 10h00-14h00.

In my previous blog, How to Be a Comedian – Tip 18: Have an Introduction – Part 2, I offered several pointers for writing a good introduction. In this blog, How to Be a Comedian – Tip 19: Have an Introduction – Part 3, I'll give a couple more approaches to writing introductions.
How to Be a Comedian – Tip 19: Have an Introduction – Part 3
Use Credits
If you have some legitimate credits, put them in your introduction. But don't give the audience your resume. One or two good credits are enough. Any more than that and it'll seem as if you're trying too hard to impress the audience.
If you don't have any credits, then make fun of that with a standard like this:
"If you've seen The Tonight Show or David Letterman, well, this gentleman has also seen those shows. Here's Greg Dean."
Of course, use your own name. It'll confuse the audience if you always introduce yourself as Greg Dean.
Incorporate Your Subject Matter
You'll be ahead of the game if you're brought up with an introduction that mentions your first bit or the central theme of your show. If you're starting your show with some television material, then write an intro about being a "couch potato." If you just broke up with your lover, be introduced as someone "easy to get along with." If you're a sports fan and your first bit is about sports, then try something like:
"Ladies and Gentlemen, our sports fanatic for the night, Joe Blow."
It's better to have an unfunny introduction that sets you up to get into your material than to have a funny one that puts you in the wrong light.
Design It to Present Your Personality or Attributes
Not everyone will have an identity in the beginning, so this may not apply. But if you have some overt characteristic like being really fat, cranky, tall, you wear thick glasses or are of a particular ethnic group, use it to your advantage.
For one of my short students, we wrote an intro that had the M.C. put the microphone stand all the way up, then say,
"Welcome a big man in his field, Jim Ridgley."
Jim would walk out and the mike would be about a foot over his head. He'd get his first laugh just by standing and looking at the mic.
Remember, a good introduction can set the proper tone for your entire show. Just as a bad one can dig a hole that may take you some time to get out of. Introductions are important, so take the time to create one that's right for you.
In my next blog, How to Be a Comedian – Tip 20: Arranging Routines – Part 1, I'll discuss the techniques to organize a series of jokes into a coherent routine.

Is there a program that allows me to search for dropping/dropped domains by traffic, page rank, or search engine keyword popularity?
Printable View
Is there a program that allows me to search for dropping/dropped domains by traffic, page rank, or search engine keyword popularity?
I use pool.com to search for dropped domains. It doesn't show pagerank, traffic, or keyword popularity though.
A few things:
1) Pagerank is set to 0 shortly after a domain is dropped.
2) There is not a definitive way to determine traffic. Tools like Alexa are best guesses are are typically very wrong.
I am looking for a program that will automatically sort a large list of domain names such as the downloadable list of expiring domain names here - http://pool.com/addBackorders.aspx by traffic, page rank, or keyword popularity.
I have not heard of anything on the open market that exists. There are scripts out there I'm sure, that's custom written for serious domainers and domain companies. And because of this, most owners of such scripts/sw would be highly hesitant at selling it in an open market.
Let's face it, this industry is a great one, but there are some (or many) who would rather keep their secret expensive tools to themselves. This would be one such tool. Not condoning it, but it makes sense from a selfish standpoint.
Anyways, these days, it seems more common for domain registrars to keep the higher traffic domains that expire for themselves. (Just do a search for what's been going on with Tucows and GoDaddy lately.)
I have just found a cool cheat code site that has tons of cheats, tips, and tricks across all the major platforms and for every level of gamer. Check out, cheatfreak.com(:
i think pool.com is prob the best you'll get to date. This is what we use for dropped domains.

I will not go as far as calling Symantec names like other bloggers do, for example 'The Great Yellow Peril', none of the name-calling in this post is by me, it all is from various blogs and forum posts and is indicated as such.
I use lots of software and all solutions have bugs. Before I try something new, especially in a critical area like backup, I'd like to read what people say about it. In my previous posts you can see the problems that I and many other people found with new VBR7 (Veeam Backup & Replication 7). One of the alternatives to this product is Symantec Backup Exec 2012. I made a research of what people say about it, trying to determine if it is a stable product. My findings prove that this product has major flaws and many problems. Here are some examples:
Backup Exec 2012 SQL agent brings SQL server 2005 to a crawl
- this is new version, but it crashes and support doesn't help
- new version is slower, supposed to be the other way around
Backup exec 2012 crashes – system bug
- system slows down when BE is working (not good)
There is a huge post on SpiceWorks that sums up user experience with BE2012:
You can read it yourself, I'll just say that BE2012 was not the best release for Symantec.
Here are some typical quotes:
'Guys, DO NOT TRY TO UPGRADE!! I had it upgraded on 3 of my clients and interface looks very bad, very confusing.'
'Backups that have the exact same settings in BE2010R3 and BE2012, the same hardware, same size of backup, same everything, used to take 10 hrs, now they take 16hrs!'
'Backup size estimation is incredibly inaccurate. Some of my backups sit there at 100% for several hours before they finish.'
'It is entirely baffling, with piles of graphics replacing succinct byte by byte reporting on progress of a job.'
'After 15 years of BExec I'll probably be looking elsewhere at CommVault etc.'
'Installed 2012 this week. What a nightmare. Why is it so difficult to set up a simple job. I have a job running on 2010 that does a Diff on a SQL box every hour 8am to 6pm to disk.'
'I've been struggling with BUE 2012 for over a month now and have come to absolutely hate it. The previous 5 versions that I've used were getting progressively worse, but 2012 has simply gone over the cliff – horrible.'
Why totally change the interface, resulting in an unoperational new product which is not comfortable to use even for a user of the older version? One would rather use a new product, than become familiar with a new interface. If someone wanted to change this questionable software to smth different, BE2012 made them do it.
Later Symantec released SP1 to BE2012, but it didn't matter much:
'client side deduplication is failing on every server since SP1a one server still hasn't had a job complete
Live Update always says SP1a needs to be applied'
Here is a funny one: 'Just received a german Spiceworks Partner Promotion newsletter…Translated title: "Protect your virtual and physical environment with Backup Exec 2012″. No, thank you! I need reliable backups! Was that newsletter to be meant ironic?'
Finally, here is a story of IT consultants from Germany, that I picked up on Twitter:
Backups and tape jobs randomly failed and VM backups didn't work at all (even after the SP).
In the middle of 2012 CEO of Symantec was fired and while situation with BE2012 was definitely not the reason (the reason was bad stock performance), it certainly didn't help. After that 'bloated & slow' Symantec 'initiated a major reorganization to streamline the management' which, hopefully will result in better software.
Again, like the last time, I ask you to add to my findings sending me feedback.

MADISON (WKOW) -- Chad Chritton's father took the witness stand Friday in his son's child abuse retrial.
David Chritton says his granddaughter lived with him one summer in Minnesota, when she was ten.
The girl, now 16, testified earlier in the retrial her father participated in starving her and confining her to a basement. She collapsed after a portion of her testimony, but was able to later continue.
David Chritton testified when his granddaughter came to stay with him, it appeared she had missed out on her childhood, unable to ride a bike, or throw a ball.
Chad Chritton's attorney has said Chritton was a concerned father, but overwhelmed by his daughter's mental health issues, but David Chritton testified he saw nothing abnormal about his granddaughter.
Chritton testified his son did express understandable concern over the girl having feelings of abandonment, if her stay in Minnesota went beyond the summer.
Chritton testified he was concerned about the girl's treatment at the hands of her stepmother, Melinda Drabek-Chritton. He said he came to Madison, and expressed those concerns to his son.
"And that was the end of the conversation," Chritton testified. "Chad just said, 'Leave'."
Drabek-Chritton is serving a prison term in connection with her mistreatment of the girl.
In March, Chad Chritton was convicted of felony child neglect, and is free on bail. But jurors deadlocked on four other felony charges, including child abuse and false imprisonment.
Authorities when Chritton's daughter was discovered in February 2012 after running away, the then-fifteen year old girl weighed sixty-eight pounds, nearly twenty pounds less than she weighed at age nine.
Prosecutors say they expect to rest their case Monday in this retrial of Chritton.
There's been no indication whether Chritton will testify in his own defense. Chritton did not testify in his first trial.
