Murder Most Foul Magazine
About Murder Most Foul Magazine"Murder most foul" is of course a quote from Shakepeare's Hamlet: "Murder most foul as in the best it is / But this most foul, strange and unnatural."

Shakespeare again: "Truth will come to light; murder cannot be hid long." Murder Most Foul magazine brings to the public eye more than the newspapers can give you: detailed accounts of the murders, the murderers' motives, their methods. Featured here too are the brave detectives working to bring them in. It's much more gripping and accessible than reading Shakespeare, but with the same epic themes: murder, most foul, most horrible, in all its variations. Buy a single copy and read more than 16 true accounts of murder, or take out a subscription and get the most horrible murders delivered to your door quarterly. You'll be shocked and amazed at the depths humanity can sink to: only more shocking because you know that everything you read in Murder Most Foul magazine is absolutely true. More Info

How to send PC to sleep while LiveTV is running & Keep LiveTV on Wake
Here is what I'm trying to solve:
1. I accidentally leave PC on, I'd like it to sleep after X hours of no input inactivity.
2. My PC boots into LiveTV on wake up, how can I make it sleep after the recording given that LiveTV is running?
3. Is it possible to send a "Stop" LiveTV command when waking up for a scheduled Recording?
I have configured my PC to boot into LiveTV on wakeup via .bat & EventGhost- Wife approved. I configured EG to send a "Stop" when going into sleep mode, but it still boots into LiveTV when auto-waking up for a recording. I had to turn off my WMC auto updates for this same reason, LiveTV would be booted automatically.

Snow drifts and slippery roads did not stop area businesses from spreading messages of love today.
The show must go on at Wygants floral in South Bend despite winter weather and illness.
Get this they say most of the staff called in sick on the busiest day of the year.
Not to worry though drivers are still getting hundreds of deliveries to sweethearts in town.
Flowers have been shipped in from all over the world.
However, with so many schools and businesses closed today, old man winter has certainly made this Valentine's Day a challenge.
Wygant's ownder, Mary Green says, "First thing this morning as soon as phones started ringing they were all teachers or husbands of spouses sending to people at school, so we're just re-routing them and trying to get them to their home addresses today."
Wygant florists sent out around 370 deliveries and more than 5-thousand roses.

Here are shots from a performance piece, "Putting words into my mouth". This performance was for my Time studio class final. In this skit I played a energetic daughter, my friend Aaliyah Freeman , played my overbearing/over protective mother.
In the performance the mother force feeds words into the daughter's mouth. The daughter then begins to feed herself. The mother satisfied then leaves, the daughter spits them out ending the performance.
The theme is standing up for yourself. The words I were being fed were typed up phrases that I've been told the phrases were criticisms dealing with my appearance,career choices, and romantic ties. Even though the performance was light hearted many teens/ young adults face criticism from their families. performance.2012.

Ask the Readers: What are the most important money lessons that parents should teach their children?
Published on - July 12th, 2013 (by Ellen Cannon)
This guest post is from Sumitha who blogs at A Fine Parent, a unique personal development blog exclusively for parents.
Can parents really protect their children from making big money mistakes?
There's no straightforward answer to this question. Consider our own story, for instance. Both my husband and I come from financially conservative families where debt is frowned upon. And still, during our first two years in the U.S., we raked up a sizable chunk of debt.
It wasn't that we failed our parents or that our parents had failed us. It just so happened that we were not sufficiently prepared for the plastic economy of the West. Credit cards were not found in either of our families' wallets (or in any middle-class wallet in India during the time we were raised), and so we simply did not associate credit cards with debt.
When you are a cash-strapped student, if a large, credible company offers you a card and says, "Go ahead, use it. You can pay us back later. That's what everyone here does." Well, you take the card. And then another. And another. And before you know it, you are up to your eyeballs in debt.
It took us two years to realize what a deep hole we were in. After a few expletives that I can't repeat here, we went on a total take-no-prisoners rampage on debt. Within a few years, we paid back all the debt. In a few more years, we saved up enough for the down payment on a modest home. And a few more years down the line we paid back the mortgage and were completely debt-free.
So, I think the answer to the question is of course not. Parents can't always protect their children from making nasty money mistakes. What they can do, however, is provide a good internal compass, so that if the kids do stray off path, they can eventually get themselves quickly back on track.
What kind of money lessons should parents teach their children?
I've been thinking about questions like these, among others, a lot more seriously now as I ponder about ways to raise my own child. Here is the list of money lessons that I've come up with so far.
- It's OK to talk about money. This is the first thing I personally want to teach my daughter. In our family, we never really talked about money — we just learned by observation. Consequently, we had the sense that debt is bad, but not enough sense to associate the credit cards with debt.
- Own your money — don't let it own you. While you need to stay away from debt, it is equally important not to turn into a Scrooge. If you let your money own you either way, your life will be pretty darned miserable.
- Don't take where you get your money from for granted. Watch out for the entitlement trap. Respect your source of income, but do not rely on it entirely. Create multiple sources of income. Save enough for the rainy day.
- Money can buy you a lot of things but not everything. Money can buy you a house, not a home; medicine, but not health; education, but not wisdom; a bed, but not sleep. My evil plan is to repeat these clichés often until my daughter eventually gets it.
- All the money in the world will do you no good in the prison. Not all money is created equal; there's ethical money, dirty/blood money and everything else in between. Hopefully, her moral compass will make it easy to impart this one.
- There's more to money than just spending or saving. Most people think about money in terms of either "spend it" or "save it." I want to teach her that there's more to money than that. Use it to serve, share and create opportunities for the less fortunate.
- No matter what the circumstances, you can always make some money. Earning money is as much about attitude as aptitude. No matter what, as long as you have the right attitude, believe in the dignity of labor and don't shy away from elbow grease, you can find a way to make some.
- Once you have some money, it's easier to make more. While attitude and hard work are necessary, there are some doors that only money can open. Make some money (and gain some experience) first, and then put that money to good use to get to places which are only money can get you an entry.
- No matter how much money you have, there will always be someone with more. And less. It's relative. Look up to those who have more money as role models and mentors. And help those who have less. If you remember this, you will never be unhappy. If you don't, you can never be happy.
- Having enough money is a choice. As long as you can cover your basic needs and save some for the rainy day, you are doing well. Anything more is a good bonus, but think carefully of the trade-offs you make for this bonus.
- Money can make — and break — relationships. You can love a person all you want, but unless you both are in-sync with your values about money, there'll be trouble. Choose your life partner carefully!
- Money can buy you time. Contrary to popular belief, money can buy you time. If you pay a cleaning service for a couple of hours to clean the house, then you've just bought two hours of time to spend with your family. Outsource the tedious tasks in your business and you've just bought time to invest on innovation or other creative endeavors!
- Understand the power of compounding and inflation. The earlier you can put money to work for you, the more it can make for you. The more the time that passes, the larger the chunk corroded away by inflation. Learn to be a good steward of your money.
- Money is just the means to an end. In the end, it is important to remember that making more money can't be your only goal. There is much more to life than a blind quest for money; there has to be a better ROI for the time you spend.
- Money is an important part of your life. That said, money is important. You can't go chasing your passions without knowing where the money to pay your next bill comes from. Nothing can suck the life out of your passions like constant money worries.
What money lessons did your parents get right? What did they miss? And what will you most certainly teach your kids?
This article is about Administration, Kids
Growing up, I learned the most about money just by watching- not as much by talking. The biggest thing I learned is to be careful with your money and not waste it so that you'll (pretty much always) have enough. Take care of your stuff. And money can't buy class.
Me too. I was never verbally told about money lessons. I gleaned them from seeing how my family delt with money. I was just lucky that I had a family that was transparent with their spending and savings, and responsible as well.
Thanks @MamaNeedsMoney. "Money can't buy class" — that's a good one, and so, so very true! I will have to add that one to my own list as well!
Patience. Waiting while you save for something gives you ample time to reevaluate your desire to own a particular thing, to do extra research, to change your mind. At the age of 8, my son patiently waited to save up for an xBox replacement–a huge thing for his meager allowance. Now at 14, he's saved more than enough for a gaming computer and done more research than most adults would ever do. Having financial patience will help him make wise choices as an adult.
@Evangeline, Looks like you are doing great! You should be proud of your son! I've seen more 14 year olds who bug their parents to constantly buy them the latest thingamajiggas than those who save! I hope I can raise my kid right as well. You are right that the lessons they internalize now will help them make wise choices (and hence determine how their lives turn out) as adults!
It took time and, like your daugher, he made his fair share of mistakes (six packs of gum, anyone?) I had to bite my lip and let him learn from his choices. He quickly figured out the toy lasted longer than the gum and if he waited a little longer, he'd have more money to spend. The key was he received little imput on what to do with the money, otherwise he'd never learn. The lessons build over time and your daughter will probably be a fast learner.
Thanks @Evangeline! I sure hope so…
Interesting article, Ellen. Thanks!
I think one thing I'm trying to teach my kids is that they need to make money doing something that they love. While growing up, because I did well in school, my parents often tell me that I could do anything I wanted.
"Well…thanks a lot… That really narrows it down for me!"
What we try to do with our kids (we do the homeschool thing)is to reinforce and encourage the areas when they excel. Our youngest boy is an entertainer and is incredible at making Lego hero factory creations. The other boys know that and yet are aware of their own unique strengths and abilities.
Research shows that people are more likely to make more money when they are loving what they do every day!
@Brad Moore, That's a great point!
Let me play the devil's advocate on this one though. When I was growing up, I was good academically and I had a creative streak too. My parents, with my best interest at heart, encouraged me to excel on the academic front. And I did. And I had an excellent career. With each passing year though, it felt more and more hollow. I am now on a two year break to pursue my creative side. My engineering career did provide me a cushy financial foundation (which made this 2 year break possible!) but somehow it didn't really cut it for me. So now I feel very conflicted about what to encourage in my daughter… or if I should try to encourage any one thing at all
I think we as parents need to back out completely of trying to "help" our children determine what they will find as rewarding and fulfilling. Instead, I think your parents did the right thing in encourage academic achievement because that is what will give your children the options. (One can always go back and develop one's creativity, but the same cannot be said as to academics.)
My parents did the same thing as yours, and then told me that once I finished college, I would be completely on my own. I took their advice seriously and majored in business because I knew I could support myself in that career directly after graduation. But I found it unfulfilling. It was something that would happen only after I had a chance to pursue that career choice–to work in it. It did not feed my soul. I went back to school, realizing that little voice in my head that wanted things to be fair was really a part of who I am.
We can't teach our children who they are–and trying to do so will never let them discover for themselves who they are. That is a journey only they can take. Perhaps, this is the very reason that many societies have a right of passage children must take on their own to become an adult. We need to make sure their options are wide open.
If you can't afford it, don't buy it.
My parents did the right steps but didn't really get into explaining the why part of it. For instance, they took me to open up a savings account but didn't really use the opportunity to get into the important reasons behind doing so.
My kids are still young but I plan to talk about money openly with them. Not so much that they worry or feel like they have a huge say about it but so that it opens up chances for us to talk about the important points like the ones you mentioned.
@Nina, That's exactly where I'm at! I learnt a lot about money from my parents, but did not understand some of the reasoning behind it, and so we messed up the first time we were faced with an unfamiliar situation. I hope I can talk about money a little with my daughter, without making her worry about it as you said.
Since I have 3 little ones, I often think about this myself. My experience growing up was that money was for adults. I never had a concept of what my parents income or expenses were like or was introduced to any form of budgeting. I was aware that my father made good money by the way we lived and his job, but didn't really have any concept of how they used or managed money. My belief is they felt we were being protected in a way by not worrying us (my sister and I) about it.
One thing I vividly remember is my father liked to say he was "credit rich and cash poor". I came to realize that my parents did not manage money well and unfortunately had no issues using other people's money (borrowing on credit). However, they always made sure they appeared to have things in order in terms of their lifestyle's outward appearance.
Instilling values in our kids that are not focused on the goal of amassing stuff as our consumer culture promotes is important in our family. I also plan to be more transparent with them on how my wife and I manage our money and why. Living what we teach them is also important as the value of what you teach is greatly reduced if you are a hypocrite.
Congratulations @Michael on deciding to lay such a solid financial foundation for your kids! I agree with most of what you say. The only thing I'm grappling with is the transparency part – while I do want to instill the right values and lead by example, I am not sure how much of our own finances I want to discuss with our daughter. Fortunately, she is too young now for this to matter…. will cross that bridge when we get to it.
Money allows you the freedom to do things you want to do on the list above. By making good choices you have more future choices and are less beholden to those who would rather keep you tied to their financial yokes.
@Mike, I agree that "Money allows you the freedom to do things you want to do on the list above." That said, a healthy attitude and a healthy relationship with money is what allows you to enjoy this freedom and find contentment. Which is what I hope to teach through this list.
Great article bringing up parents and what they can tell their children about money. I feel like one big thing is missing though, credit, and specifically student loans. I've always been good about saving and earning money but I was one of those that got caught up in the student loan mess – I was young and saw student loans as something amazing because I had money right then and there. Now I was competing with kids who had money from their parents and I didn't feel "poor." Well now I'm paying a big chunk of it back. I wish my parents had talked to me more about that and the reality of it all.
@Matt, this was kinda how it started for us too… except we got into credit card debt instead of the student loan debt. I think a solid financial foundation can prevent that from happening, and while I can't go back and change my past, I do hope I can learn from it and pass it on to my future generation (ie my kids!)
I love this list, especially #2. My parents did not do the best in regards to teaching me about money. That, combined with my own stupid decisions, led to me taking on way too much debt while in college. Now that we have our own family we see that teaching our kids to be financially literate is one of the most loving things a parent can do for a child.
@John, So happy to see that instead of letting your past make you bitter, you have chosen to learn a lesson and pass it on to your kids! Bravo!
For me, it all boils down to this:
- Create financial dreams for yourself
- create goals based on those dreams
- track your progress
- make the necessary corrections along the way
@Derek, A much more concise list and a great one at that! Thanks for sharing!
This is a great list. My parents taught me many of the items you covered above. The biggest way they "taught" me these, though, were by doing it themselves. I wouldn't have learned it nearly as well if I just heard them telling me, but saw them doing something else. It's important that you are leading them by example.
@Jake, Good point! This list is as much a reminder for myself as it is for my daughter. I hope I can model these ideals rather than preach them!
I too was taught about money by my parents example rather than a sit down talk about money. My dad is tighter than bark on a tree and my mom works hard but sometimes could be a little on the spendy side. They both have mellowed with age somewhat and the Ying and Yang of them have hopefully balanced my views on money. I have mentioned it many times here at GRS but I think the biggest influence on my financial outlook was my Grandparents and the Greatest Generation. The times they lived through and the wisdom they had realy influenced me. Their knowledge and experience of living through tough times I hope to pass down to my daughter and her generation.
The most important thing we try to teach our 12 year old is that she cannot spend money until she has cash in hand. For a while we would allow her to get "advances" on her allowance. It wasn't until we sat down and thought about it that we were essentially teaching her how to use a credit card.
We stopped this practice and she now has a better understanding of how to use her money.
Very interesting article and very well written. I love the list especially #4. My parents was very cooperative since age 10 they told me to be independent and trust your instincts.
My parents taught me about saving and why to save. My parents have had several hard times where money has been really, really tight. This happened due to employment options in our small town. Yet, there was always food on the table, a roof over our head, etc. Necessities were always paid. But money caused my parents to stress out a lot. When you don't have a lot, every penny counts. So, I have always kept this in mind. I very good at budgeting money. And I'm quickly learning about investing.
Im not sure there is just one but my parents taught me to earn money and save. We are teaching our children the value of saving and not just buying everything because you WANT it. Evaluate things first. See if there are more important things are a better way to spend money. Just like of the summer the boys wanted shoes. We sat them down and let them know hey you are growing and while you are working to my a little money does it really make sense to spend a $175 on a pair of shoes when you may out grow them in 1-2 months. In the end its their decision and we let them know however don't come crying to us when the shoes are too small and you don't have money. $175 can buy more than 1 pair of shoes.
We pushed the concept of enough.
You can have most of the things you want not everyting you want.
They didn't really teach me anything about money. Comments on anything I bought:
"So expensive."
"It's a waste of money."
Then they spend time and money on queuing up to buy lottery tickets. And they get a housekeeper when all they do nowadays is watch cable TV and gossip.
I had to get most of the information on finance myself (set a budget, don't use credit cards..).
And apparently they don't really believe in giving their children chances to develop too, because I paid my way through university by taking on a waiter job and borrowing the rest (returning the loan when I got my bonus in my first permanent job). No money from them.
Tuition is cheaper where I live.
My parents made me work at McDonald's. Since that time I have really appreciated the value of a dollar.
My parents set a great example for me, and taught me verbal lessons as well, often using these time-honored proverbs:
Live below your means.
A penny saved is a penny earned.
Save for a rainy day.
Neither a borrower or lender be.
Don't put all your eggs in one basket.
Don't count your chickens before they're hatched.
A stitch in time saves nine.
Haste makes waste.
Waste not, want not.
A fool and his money are soon parted.
Slow and steady wins the race.
These are some really valuable tips. As parents we do what we can to set our children on the right path but ultimately they'll make their own decisions. Better to instill healthy habits through leading by example.

Warpo Toys: 'Legends of Cthulhu' Kickstarter Launched
- Written by Zechs on Thursday, June 12 2014 and posted in News with Benefits
Source: Legends of Cthulhu Kickstarter
Here's a name that adult collectors of action figures should remember from now on: Warpo Toys. They're a new company, but they've already jumped headlong into a new toy line that'll probably get some people wanting to buy: Cthulhu. Their Legends of Cthulhu line is a 3.75" action figure line styled from figures that came out in the toy boom in the late 70s to pretty much all the 80's (think G.I. Joe, Voltron, Star Wars, Super Powers, and Captain Power). Here's some pictures of the figures (courtesy of Warpo):
Three days ago, the company just started a Kickstarter for this line and already they have netted their first goal of $65,000 and are well on their way of netting their next goal of $90,000. Of course if you aren't lured by a Cthulhu line already from the pics above, Warpo has this nifty video to sway you to the great Dark Lord:
Here's the official press release from Warpo on the line:
JUNE 9, 2014 (Chicago, IL): Warpo, creator of artisan retro toys, is thrilled to announce today the launch of its Kickstarter to fund Legends of Cthulhu, the first retro-styled action figure line based on the characters of H.P. Lovecraft. By enlisting legendary sculptor Eddy Mosqueda (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Masters of the Universe) and artist Ken Kelly (Micronauts, Manglor Mountain, KISS' Destroyer album cover), Legends of Cthulhu was designed using a discipline of "method manufacturing", a process Warpo coined for developing products with distinct artisanal, collectible quality. Legends of Cthulhu is a four-figure line featuring iconic characters from the world of H.P. Lovecraft – The Professor, The Cultist, The Deep One, and Spawn of Cthulhu – created by the revered artists and sculptors who pioneered the look and feel of beloved retro action figures from the 1970s and 1980s. Each figure stands 3.75" tall, has 5 points of articulation, and comes with character-appropriate accessories. Figures will come packaged in a nostalgic, Kickstarter-exclusive blister-card, featuring original paintings by artist Ken Kelly. "We're creating collectible figures to sit right alongside our vintage figures from the past," says Warpo president Bryan Katzel. "Warpo is the toy company we wanted in 1981, and our goal is to create the 'most-bitchingest' toys of forever!" The Legends of Cthulhu Kickstarter launched today, with an initial fundraising goal of $60,000, and exciting stretch goals for amounts reached beyond that. To view the Kickstarter campaign, visit warpo.com/kickstarter. About Warpo Founded in 2013 by avid collectors and toy industry veterans Bryan Katzel, Eric LeFeber and Tommy Baldwin, Warpo is Making Yesterday's Toys, high-quality collectible toys with a a distinct retro look and feel. Taking an artisanal approach of "method manufacturing", Warpo's debut product line, Legends of Cthulhu launched with a Kickstarter in June 2014, and the company's future releases include action figures, plush, playsets, and more. For more information, visit warpo.com.
We'll keep you updated on this story and just how far they'll go with their Kickstarter.

Harper was flagged during the game against the Titans for grabbing the facemask of Titans WR Damien Williams as he was headed to the endzone. A small skirmish developed after the play when Nate Williams ran up to Harper to take up for his fellow player.
Harper and several of his teammates have been asked during the week about how they feel about what was said and all gave pretty kosher answers. However, when Williams was asked what he thought, he didn't disappoint any active recording device with the media. He responded with:
If that guy(Williams) don't want his head tore off, then duck. Because that's how we're playing.
The response from Williams evoked laughter and chuckles from the media surrounding him when he said it. He elaborated that it takes a mental and physical toughness when playing in the NFL, both being important. The last thing Williams said about Harper was something he has constantly repeated.
I love Roman Harper and the way he plays, and evidently a lot of other people and players in the league do too because they keep voting him to the Pro Bowl.
According to several sources, Harper has been fined $7,500 for the unnecessary roughness penalty and also fined $15,000 for a roughing the passer penalty during the game. No suspension is expected.

The San Diego Chargers have joined the draft pick signing party on Thursday with the signings of four selections from their 2013 NFL Draft class. Among the signees were Notre Dame linebacker Manti Te'o (second-round) and Cal wide receiver Keenan Allen (third-round).
San Diego's other signings were Florida International outside linebacker Tourek Williams (sixth-round) and Southern Utah quarterback Brad Sorensen (seventh-round).
That leaves first-round selection DJ Fluker of Alabama and Cal defensive back Steve Williams (fifth-round). While the two rookies remain unsigned, you should expect to see them in rookie camp, via Michael Gehlken of the U-T San Diego.
OT D.J. Fluker, a first-round pick, and CB Steve Williams, a fifth rounder, are unsigned. Will still be on field Friday for rookie minicamp
— Michael Gehlken (@UTgehlken) May 10, 2013
Te'o is expected to be a starter from game one opposite Donald Butler, while Keenan Allen could make an immediate push for playing time as the team's No. 2 receiver if he is able to get to 100 percent as he continues to recover from a torn PCL and ankle issues.

Abstract. Fourteen years of meteorological parameters, aerosol variables (absorption and scattering coefficients, aerosol number concentration) and trace gases (CO, NOx, SO2) measured at the Jungfraujoch (JFJ, 3580 m a.s.l.) have been analyzed as a function of different synoptic weather types. The Alpine Weather Statistics (AWS) classification was used to define the synoptic meteorology over the whole Swiss region. The seasonal contribution of each synoptic weather type to the aerosol concentration was deduced from the aerosol annual cycles while the planetary boundary layer (PBL) influence was estimated by means of the diurnal cycles. Since aerosols are scavenged by precipitation, the diurnal cycle of the CO concentration was also used to identify polluted air masses. SO2 and NOx concentrations were used as precursor tracers for new particle formation and growth. This study confirms the consensus view that the JFJ is mainly influenced by the free troposphere during winter and by injection of air parcels from the PBL during summer. A more detailed picture is, however, drawn where the JFJ is completely influenced by free tropospheric air masses in winter during advective weather types and largely influenced by the PBL also during the night in summer during the subsidence weather type. Between these two extreme situations, the PBL influence at the JFJ depends on both the time of year and the synoptic weather type. The fraction of PBL air transported to the JFJ was estimated by the relative increase of the specific humidity and CO.

How serious is MLB's Hall of Fame backlog problem?
12/19/13 in MLB | Pat | 5235 respect
For almost all the players mentioned, the words "probably not this year, because of the overcrowded ballot…" keep showing up.
We're not overreacting, either. The problem is legitimate.
Bill Deane has been making Hall of Fame projections for over three decades, and has had a pretty remarkable accuracy rate.
Deane's prediction for this year: Only Greg Maddux will get in.
As alarming as that seems, considering the incredible amount of hugely talented players on the ballot, it's not unrealistic at all. In fact, the more you actually look at the ballot and analyze it, the more it makes sense.
There are a few kinds of voters in the Baseball Writers Association of America, and those various types of voters will vote very differently, making it hard to reach the 75% majority needed for induction.
Here are a few of the kinds of people we'll be seeing:
The people who will never vote for a guy in his first year on the ballot.
For some reason, there are voters who absolutely will not vote for a player in his first year. The Hall of Fame has never had a single unanimous inductee, despite many absolute no-brainers. Tom Seaver has the record for highest percentage of votes received, and there were still 5 people who didn't vote for him. It's inexplicable. Now that Greg Maddux is on the ballot, you'd think that he'd be a mortal lock on everyone's ballot, but there will be guys who don't vote for him.
The guys who will never vote for someone suspected of PED use.
I disagree with this particular point of view, because I think you can't possibly have a legitimate Hall of Fame without including some of the guys who have the game's most hallowed records. One of those guys is Barry Bonds. Regardless of how you feel about how clean his urine was, he made a huge impact on the game. He's part of the story of MLB. He needs to be in the Hall of Fame. And once he's in, you basically have to vote in other suspected players based solely on their merit on the field, since you need to be consistent. But still, there are guys who will never vote for Bonds, Roger Clemens, Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa. They'll even go so far as to exclude guys like Jeff Bagwell and Mike Piazza, even though there's no actual evidence there.
The guys who won't use all 10 votes, even if there are 10 guys who deserve induction.
The average voter casts about 6 votes. This year, there are absolutely 10 guys who deserve to be in the Hall of Fame. Still, there are a LOT of voters who won't vote for anywhere near 10 players. That obviously lowers the chances of guys getting their 75%.
The guys who will want to rescue players.
Jack Morris is on the ballot for his 15th and final year. Last year, he received 67.7% of the votes. It's hard to believe that there are guys who would decline to vote for him in his final year of eligibility if they've been increasingly convinced of his HOF status over the years. This means that Morris, despite being nowhere near a top 10 player on this current ballot, will most likely get around 70% of the votes. Add that to the list of guys who will vote for guys like Mike Mussina, Rafael Palmeiro, Luis Gonzalez, and other guys for the sole purpose of keeping them on the ballot for an extra year and buying them another chance.
The guys who throw votes away.
I'll never really understand it, but basically every guy on the ballot gets at least one vote every single year. You'd think that the writers would really value their votes, especially with a crowded ballot, but that's clearly not the case. Guys who got at least one vote last year: Aaron Sele, Royce Clayton, Rondell White, Woody Williams, Roberto Hernandez and several others. These are votes that the writers basically crumpled up and tossed in the trash, knowing that they'd be completely pointless.
Between all of these types of voters and the unusually high number of qualified players on the ballot, this year is going to be a serious problem. There might be some players who will fall off the ballot, despite the fact that they might have been Hall of Famers if their names were on the ballot in any other era.
The BBWAA has made quite a mess, after inducting zero players last year, and it should be interesting to see how they clean it up, if at all.

Re: AO 2013: The Bridesmaid-Bride Double. The Sequel.
What was so frustrating about the SF match wasn't really that she was playing like how can I say this without sounding too harsh...a person who's just been shot in the head
because let's be honest how many times has she brought her fabulous shitfest self to a match. But she always fights for every point and is screaming disrespectful come-ons in the others' faces. This time there was nothing of that even in the beginning
it was like she didn't even want to be there. She has to be pumped up and confident because sometimes the only thing that will win her matches is her mental superiority...but the problem is she lately tends to lose that in the important matches

Denari Cleans Up At AIA/LA Awards
Friday, October 28, 2011
Sam Lubell.
Without a doubt the big winner at Wednesday's AIA/LA Design Awards, held in the shadow of Cesar Pelli's almost-done Red Building at the Pacific Design Center, was Neil Denari. In an unprecedented display of dominance his firm's No Mass House took home Best in Show for unbuilt work (Next LA Awards), his firm's HL23 Residential Tower in New York took home Best in Show for built work (Design Awards) and then Denari won the AIA/LA Gold Medal. Now that's a good night. (By the way, we thought Best In Show was reserved for dog shows, but that's besides the point…) In accepting the medal Denari, who was born in Texas, talked about being inspired not only by the light and sunshine of California, but also by its darkness, a tension that's palpable in his work. To check out more of the design awards winners check out the AIA/LA's new app on iTunes. And to check out the new Red Building you'll have to wait until it's finished early next year.
Bjarke Ingels, WSJ Architecture Innovator of the Year
Monday, October 24, 2011
The Editors.
If Bjarke Ingels' ascension into starchitecture hasn't been dramatic enough, the Danish architect is again moving up in the world. On Friday, Ingels' firm BIG threw a party to christen their new office space in Manhattan. BIG has expanded its Chelsea presence, moving up from the third to the twelfth floor of the Starrett-Lehigh Building. A press preview of the new space preceded the party a couple floors above. Among those in attendance were Crown Prince Frederik and Princess Mary of Denmark, who earlier this month awarded Ingels the $90,000 Culture Prize—the MacArthur of Scandinavia—for his emerging work in architecture.
Now it looks like Ingels' October has just been getting started. The Wall Street Journal Magazine will declare the Danish architect among its inaugural Innovators of the Year. Read More

Rebecka Gordan.
The American Academy of Arts and Letters named the winners of its 2010 architecture awards Tuesday, which were dominated by northeastern designers. Long-time GSD professor Michael Van Valkenburgh is the recipient of the Arnold W. Brunner Memorial Prize in Architecture. The annual award of $5000 has been given to preeminent architects since 1955, ranging from Louis Kahn to Elizabeth Diller. Van Valkenburgh has designed more than 350 landscapes, including the recently opened Brooklyn Bridge Park. The Academy also announced the winners of its Academy Awards in Architecture, for strong personal work, which go to New York's planning-obsessed Architecture Research Office and the Afterpartying MOS, of New Haven and Cambridge. And City College architecture dean, critic, and designer Michael Sorkin also won an Academy Award, largely for his writing. The four winners beat out 50 nominees and were selected by academy members Henry Cobb, Hugh Hardy, Steven Holl, Laurie Olin, Billie Tsien, and Tod Williams.

Natural Features & Ecosystems
The Big South Fork watershed lies within the Cumberland Plateau, which is in the southern portion of the Appalachian Plateaus structural province. The geology of the Big South Fork is characterized by parallel, horizontally-bedded sedimentary rock of Pennsylvanian and Mississippian age rock. The Pennsylvanian rocks are predominantly sandstone and shale, and include siltstone, conglomerate, and coal. The weathering processes on these rocks have produced an impressive array of formations, including arches, mesas, chimneys, cracks, and rockshelters. The underlying Mississippian age limestone contains oil and gas deposits which are found both within and outside the Big South Fork.
The stream topography of the area is characterized by a dendritic drainage pattern and narrow, v-shaped gorges. A focal point of the area is the Big South Fork River gorge with its many sheer bluffs at the gorge rim towering over wooded talus slopes. The river valleys of the area are dotted with huge boulders which have broken from the cliff faces. The park's rivers and streams are characterized by stretches of fast, rugged whitewater and quiet pools.

Arianna Huffington: 'Stop the digital multi-tasking and start living'
Arianna Huffington, the founder of the Huffington Post, has launched her "Third Metric" philosophy in the UK, which seeks to redefine success in an age of hyper-connectivity and rising stress levels.
Arianna Huffington: launches "Third Metric" philosophy
At an event held at London's Bafta yesterday (30 July), Huffington told the mainly female audience that there was a "perfect storm" of trends coming together which meant it was time for a "Third Metric revolution". This change, she said, would be led by women as it is men that made the world the way it is today.
She highlighted a combination of burnout, sleep deprivation and the increasing use of technology as contributory factors.
"This digital garden of Eden has produced a snake," she said. "That snake is hyper-connectivity."
Huffington said: "There's scientific evidence that shows that there's no such thing as multi-tasking. You think you're being efficient, you're actually being stupid. It's time to move from multi-tasking to celebrating uni-tasking and actually being present in our lives rather than missing it."
The Huffington Post operates initiatives such as "nap rooms" where employees can de-stress, and its employees are not expected to reply to emails on weekends.
Apple's founder Steve Jobs had his best ideas after Zen meditation, not when he was "clearing out his inbox", Huffington commented.
"Corporations are increasingly recognising that the bottom line is affected when people prioritise 'Third Metric' issues like wellbeing and wisdom. The nature of the workplace needs to change much faster than it is now," Huffington added.

Post with 3 notes
The European Union's free trade agreement with South Korea took effect in July 2011, more than half a year ahead of the South Korea-U.S. free trade pact. That was expected to give U.K. law firms an edge over their American counterparts in establishing a presence in Seoul. But as the Asian Lawyer reports, the opposite has occurred, mostly because of the requirement that the local heads of international law firms must be licensed to practice law in the firm's home country. Because there are far more Korean-speaking lawyers in the U.S. than in the U.K., American firms hold the advantage.

Kristen Wiig Plans To Bare All
I'm a big Kristen Wiig fan. I think she is a riot, so funny!
I'm a big Kristen Wiig fan. I think she is a riot, so funny!
Gorgeous blonde actress Hayden Panettiere appeared on 'Live! With Kelly and Michael' this morning (Oct. 9). She was well-accessorized, wearing a big, huge snake around her neck and a big, huge rock on her finger, thus confirming her engagement to her longtime boyfriend, Ukrainian boxer Wladimir Klitschko.
Well this is interesting -- and not in a great way. 'Zero Dark Thirty' and 'Contagion' star Jennifer Ehle has been cast in the upcoming adaptation of mommy porn favorite '50 Shades of Grey.' No, she won't be grabbing a whip. The actress will be playing the role of Anastasia Steele's mother, who should be very concerned about what her daughter is doing.
You've seen Sandra Bullock lots of ways, but you've never seen her as an astronaut drifting through space. Before 'Gravity' is released this weekend, let's take a glimpse back at the many looks of Sandra Bullock.
Little is known about the announced 'Jurassic Park 4,' other than that it will be called 'Jurassic World,' be directed by Colin Trevorrow and will be released on June 12, 2015. Casting for the next installment is kicking off, and 'The Help' and 'Twilight' star Bryce Dallas Howard is in early talks to be the first new addition to the cast.
When you think about big stars from the 90's, the cast of "Friends" are certainly that. However, did you know that Jennifer Aniston may not be where she is if not for a one actress turning down the role of Rachel? So which star was a favorite for the spot?
Taylor Swift might be expanding her resume to include an against-type role in 'The Secret Service,' a spy film featuring Colin Firth and Samuel L. Jackson, as well as soccer star David Beckham.
Lisa Robin Kelly, best known for portraying Topher Grace's sister (character Laurie Forman) on the sitcom 'That '70s Show,' has passed away at age 43.
While actress Jennifer Garner may have an equally famous husband in Ben Affleck, that doesn't mean that she always wants him around.
You can take the girl out of Brooklyn, but you can't take the Brooklyn out of the girl.
Though Scientology is infamous for attempting to bully its former and excommunicated members into silence, 'King of Queens' actress Leah Remini isn't letting the borderline cult intimidate her. Remini spoke out on leaving the Church, and she's putting on one helluva brave face.

Battlefield 4 is in the works
Unsurprisingly EA have revealed in a sideways fashion that they are working on Battlefield 4.
They announced that they will be offering guaranteed access to the beta test of Battlefield 4 if they pre-order Medal Of Honor Warfighter.
Indications are that EA are trying to build Battlefield and Medal Of Honor into a double-act to put the pressure on Call Of Duty.
EA Labels boss Frank Gibeau said, "Though Battlefield and Medal of Honor Warfighter each offer players a completely unique experience, they are united by their underlying technology base Frostbite. These are two of the hottest shooters, coming together to deliver a one-two punch of action, intensity and shooter entertainment."
With rumours of new hardware announcements from Sony and Microsoft due next year and EA confirming that Frostbite 2 was made for the next generation of consoles Battlefield 4 could even be destined to arrive with one or both of these new beasts.

A Georgia State Patrol trooper is pinned between his patrol cruiser and a suspect's car during a traffic stop on Tuesday morning.
Trooper William Schwab tells WGXA, after pulling a vehicle over for speeding on Riverside Drive, the driver neglected to put her car in park. The car then rolled into the trooper pinning him between the two vehicles.
Trooper Schwab was able to walk away from the accident leaving only a dent and broken side mirror in the silver Honda.
There's no word yet on any charges against the driver.

High download speed and signal, high ping in games, slow page loads
Recently, I reinstalled my Netgear wna3100 driver. Ever since then, I've been experiencing problems with high pings in games where I normally never had problems with. Pages load slowly even just the home page of Google.
I've attached my ipconfig picture. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
|My System Specs
|03 Mar 2012
To Disable Selective Suspend:
open the control panel
go to power options (you may have to set view to small icons)
click change plan settings
in the window that opens:
click change plan settings
click change advanced power settings, expand usb and ensure usb selective suspend is disabled.
I would also (while the device is plugged in)
go into the control panel - system - device manager - click the properties for it and make sure it's set to always on there as well.
I don't think the ipconfig can tell us much here since it's a data rate problem of some sort and not a actual connection problem from the sound of it.
The two things I mention above will hopefully keep your system from putting the device in 'low power mode' which may , or may not help your current problem.
I'm also curious if your system has recently slowed down in any other ways?
|My System Specs
|03 Mar 2012
okay i did everything.
Other than the network, my computer has not slowed down in any other way. It's components are pretty high end. Also, before, I had crossfired graphics card enabled but the network was being slow. I disabled xfire, network was perfect. Then now, it's the same problem. However, I'm not even running xfire cards anymore :/ is it a mobo problem?
|My System Specs
|03 Mar 2012
It could be in so far as there is a shared interrupt request with an apparently non existent video card. Or at least that's what it is sounding like.
If you are familiar with the system bios resetting the bios or even just the ESCD (if the bios has that option hp's are usually pretty slim in that department) could clear up the device conflict from the motherboard's perspective.
All of that is just in following with your thought though, I can not promise it will help.
|My System Specs
|04 Mar 2012
is there anything else that might be causing the problem?
Also under my networks, there's two names, but they are the same connection.
Home Linksys is the name from the router. but the native wifi is the one my wna3100 netgear wireless adapter connects to for some reason. When i installed the driver for the adapter, it made the native wifi connection
|My System Specs
|04 Mar 2012
I am not familiar with that configuration. My first instinct is to remove one of them. ....like I said I'm not familiar with that though it would seem one of them is redundant.
|My System Specs
|04 Mar 2012
whenever i try to remove, it just comes back. The selective usb suspending hasnt helped. Im still getting slow load times and high ping. I'm not entirely sure how to do that bios thing you're talking about though

Late last week I attended the 2009 Technology & Persons with Disabilities Conference, a conference which most of us accessibility folks call "c-sun" as it has been held at CSUN for over 20 years. What makes this an exceptionally important conference for accessibility is that it brings users, developers, educators, clinicians, visionaries, and policy makers together in one place. Thankfully a lot of them seem to love Firefox... and for good reason; more on that later.
I was particularly jazzed about getting time in the same room with other Firefox developers: Alexander Surkov, Marco Zehe, and Aaron Leventhal. We spent some mornings, afternoons, and evenings together discussing the past, present, and future of web accessibility, children, wives, and vodka. When people had faded into their rooms, Alexander and I used the later hours to hack together and discuss gecko accessibility code design. His patch reviews are even faster than usual when he's sitting next to me.
Mozilla works hard "to ensure that the Internet is developed in a way that benefits everyone". It seems pretty clear Mozilla, especially with the work in WAI-ARIA for DHTML, has developed a reputation for pioneering accessibility. As UI issues arise on the web people are looking to Mozilla for answers, and we are keen to work with other communities to find the right solutions. To this end I made sure to get some face time with people at CSUN that I think will help, including Henny from Opera, and JP from Microsoft. In some cases attendees made sure to find me. Flattering. Anyways, I won't bather on much longer as I think Marco will be giving a much better report soon.
Smiling in the picture up above are: Marco Zehe, David Bolter (me), the NVDA developers Mick Curran and James Teh, Aaron Leventhal, and Alexander Surkov (Eitan was absent for this photo). I quite like how Marco's cane glows like a Jedi weapon in this shot.
May the force be with us.

Researchers report that nearly 30 percent of doctors responding to a survey say they have failed to notice important test results because of the deluge of information available with electronic records.
Politico: For Doctors, Too Much Information?
A new research letter published in JAMA Internal Medicine on Monday finds just that: Electronic health records may cause doctors the unintended side effect of information overload. The survey of primary-care practitioners from the Department of Veterans Affairs shows nearly one-third of those using the EHR system reported having missed or failed to follow up on key electronic alerts about patient test results (Smith, 3/5).
Medpage Today: Many Docs Miss Test Results In VA's EHR
About 30 percent of physicians in the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) health system participating in a survey said they had failed to notice important test results, sent via the VA's electronic records system, on at least one occasion. The survey's authors, most of whom worked in the Michael DeBakey VA Medical Center in Houston, blamed "information overload" related to electronic health records (EHR) systems for the findings (Gever, 3/4).
Modern Healthcare: Survey: Too Many EHR Alerts Could Lead To Missing Test Results
Researchers from several Houston institutions—including the Houston VA Health Services Research and Development Center of Excellence—surveyed almost 2,600 VA primary-care practitioners from June 2010 through November 2010 regarding EHR-based alerts. Almost 30% acknowledged missing notification of test results that led to care delays, according to a research letter in the American Medical Association journal JAMA Internal Medicine (Robeznieks, 3/4).
In other IT news -
Medpage Today: If Practices Don't Change, EHRs Lose Money
The average physician lost nearly $44,000 over 5 years implementing an electronic health record system, a large pilot study found, but the technology itself was just part of the reason. Just 27 percent of practices achieved a positive 5-year return on investment -- a number that would rise to 41 percent with the addition of federal incentives to use EHRs, the study in the March issue of Health Affairs stated. But the vast majority of practices lost money because they failed to make operational changes to realize the benefits of EHRs such as ditching paper medical records after adoption, Julia Adler-Milstein, PhD, of the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, and colleagues wrote (Pittman, 3/4).

The Mighty Eye
A look at neat, relevant projects by RPGnet people
Gaming Guardians, 365th Anniversaryselected by Sandy Antunes
May 8, 2001 Welcome to the first edition of "The Mighty Eye". Many readers are often curious about just what credibility our staff and columnists have within the industry, where they come from, what their 'real work' is. So our plan is to focus The Mighty Eye of RPGnet readerdom on those non-RPGnet gaming-related ventures. Think of it as an inside peek at the creative staff, as well as a neat way to learn about cool new gaming things!
Graveyard Greg and his art partner, Web Troll, celebrate their first year of Gaming Guardians, at gamingguardians.keenspace.com. RPGnet's weekly Dice Club is a GG spin-off. GG itself appears 5 times a week now!
Greg first injected himself into this industry with his work at Gaming Outpost as their frontman and news guy. That Greg found fulfillment as a cartoonist is darn cool. � �

An embellished shoe is festive. And the tech-obsessive? Atomic Floyd's headphones with a built-in microphone are the latest audio innovation. What about the fashion-conscious sports enthusiast? The custom Adeline Adeline retro bicycle is perennially in season. And for the girl who has it all? Well, she doesn't have Munnu/The Gem Palace's diamond necklace … yet. The items here aren't for the faint of heart or shy of wallet: This isn't just a list to help you get a little something for everyone; instead, it's about the quest for the absolutely perfect gift, designed for the girl who appreciates giving and getting something that is more than a little bit unexpected.
