Firefighters responded to a fire that started yesterday morning at 628 N. Ninth St.
- Filed Under
A fire destroyed a garage and an SUV at 628 N. Ninth St. early Tuesday morning, according to Battalion Chief Ken Cayemberg of the Manitowoc Fire Department.
A neighbor across the street reported the house was on fire at about 2:45 a.m., Cayemberg said. When firefighters arrived, they discovered "a tremendous amount of fire" but not involving the house. The structures on fire were a detached two-car garage, a covered roof area extending from the garage, and a shed adjacent to the garage, as well as a vehicle parked between the house and the garage, neighbors' fences and large trees on the ...

Yeah, I didn't know WTF it was either!
Read a story in the local weekly paper about one opening here by the end of the month. Apparently, they offer gourmet culinary condiments, fruit vinegars, exquisite oils, selected wines, exotic liqueurs and fine and rare spirits, all sold straight from the cask. They also allow you to sample anything before you buy it.
Has anyone been to one of these? Can I really buy some bourbon/scotch/rum "straight from the cask" or do they empty a bunch of bottles into their own casks, as I suspect? How many "samples" am I allowed?!

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) -- There were some dark days at Notre Dame and Alabama, dark years really, during which two college football's proudest programs flailed and foundered.
As the 21st century dawned, the Fighting Irish and the Crimson Tide were old news, stodgy remnants of a glorious past, not moving fast enough to keep up with the times, and searching for someone to lead them back to the top.
Then along came Nick Saban and Brian Kelly to knock off the rust, fine tune the engines and turn the Crimson Tide and Fighting Irish into the sharpest machines in college football again.
No. 1 Notre Dame and No. Alabama meet Monday night in Miami in a BCS championship game between two titans not all that far removed from tough times.

Information on assessing fitness to fly
Every year, over one billion people travel by air and that figure is predicted to double in the next two decades. Air travel is a comfortable and safe means of transport and is accessible to all sectors of the population. The global increase in travel, as well as an increasingly aged population, means that there may be a significant increase in older passengers and those with illness who will wish to travel.
Health professionals may increasingly be asked to assess a patient's fitness to fly, including both UK nationals planning to travel abroad and visitors from overseas who need to be repatriated following an accident or illness while in the UK. Most patients will be able to fly safely, but some may require additional measures such as in-flight supplementary oxygen. Where necessary, even passengers who require specialist in-flight medical care up to intensive care level can usually be transported by air ambulance, although the cost of this can be prohibitive unless covered by the patient's medical insurance
These guidelines address the most common issues that may affect a passenger's fitness to fly. Further advice and guidance is available in the IATA passenger medical clearance guidelines, the Aerospace Medical Association and, if the passenger has made a booking, from the airline medical department (where there is one). The Aviation Health Unit can also be contacted for advice by telephone or email Mon-Fri 0800 to 1600 hours.
Topics covered in this section include:
It is important to note that although Cabin Crew are trained to render advanced first aid, they are not trained to administer medication. In addition, most airlines will assist passengers to reach the toilet accommodation on the aircraft but cannot render more personal hygiene or nursing care.
The majority of in-flight emergencies occur in situations when an individual's medical condition is unknown to the airline and it is therefore essential that the passenger's physician sends adequate details well in advance of the flight to the carrier. Most airlines have medical advisors who provide advice and "clear" passengers as fit to fly.
The key information that they require is:
The clearance can be done by telephone or by formal communication using the MEDIF form, available through travel agents or from the internet, which allows the medical information to be structured in a manner that can be processed by the majority of airlines.
The final decision whether or not to carry a passenger is that of the airline, but the more information that is provided in advance, the more likely it is that a reasonable, evidence based decision can be made.
Please help us to improve our service by giving us your feedback. It should only take a few minutes to complete the short questionnaire, available at feedback. Thank you

Whether you're angry, happy, mad, or sad, the foods you eat can affect the way you feel. As we report, the right snack can change your whole day.
We are what we eat, and what we eat is a powerful thing.
What we eat triggers the release of neurotransmitters and hormones that affect how we feel. If you're feeling anxious, eat Brazil nuts; they're loaded with selenium. Studies show low levels lead to increased depression and anxiety. Just one ounce contains over 700 percent of your recommended daily intake. Tuna, mushrooms and garlic are also loaded with it.
If you're stressed, don't grab chips. Snack on vitamin C-rich bell peppers and citrus grouts. They lower levels of cortisol, the stress hormone.
Are you agitated? In a recent study, eight ounces of tart cherry juice may do the trick.
Ever wake up foggy, dazed, and confused? Snack on colorful fruits like pineapple, cranberries and plumbs. These fruits contain antioxidants that fight off free radicals known to damage neurons in the brain. Aim for several servings a day.

Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-RabbitKonami's Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit game closely follows the events of the Aardman film, with players using co-operative modes to guide any pairing of Wallace, Gromit or their rabbit friend, Hutch, through four huge areas. Players are given a free reign of the area as they attempt to solve the problems besetting the Giant Vegetable Competition, and their mission takes them from the seaside to suburbia as they venture out at night to confront the beast responsible for the vegetable-based carnage.Adding to their troubles, though, the villain of the piece has seized control of Wallace's 'Mind-Manipulation-O-Matic' device to transform common garden pests into bigger, more dangerous Were-beasts, and only Wallace's Bungun - a device to suck up adversaries or anything that is lying around and then fires them at tremendous speed - can save the day. Wallace's skill with gadgets also ensures that further apparatus is available, with Electric Screwdrivers, Harvesters and Grapplers appearing throughout the game to bolster the inventor's arsenal and help bypass puzzle-based elements in the game.With its huge, free-roaming play area (the first time Wallace & Gromit's town has appeared in a video game), inventive action, plentiful gadgets, varying sub-games and visuals that mimic the distinctive look of Aardman's film, The Curse of the Were-Rabbit perfectly captures the fun and menace of Wallace & Gromit's first silver screen outing.

Without WarningIn Without Warning, a radical terrorist group has targeted and seized the Peterson-Daniels Chemical Facility, a vulnerable location that jeopardizes millions of people from the devastating ecological hazard it imposes if destroyed. Pleas are useless and any direct military assault would be too great a risk. As terrified hostages fear for their lives, their only hope lies with a covert operations team, whose goal is to infiltrate the plant and eliminate the merciless enemy.The harrowing events unfold over a 12 hour period, featuring a unique gameplay dynamic which enables the six central characters to experience events across the same timeline but from their own distinct viewpoints.

The founder of a scientific approach to understanding how people live and work together should understand that theories must survive the experiments designed to prove them.
Auguste Comte, who died on Sept. 5, 1857, was a French philosopher who proposed that the progression of scientific knowledge would lead humans to develop a science of humanity, which he called "sociology," and a scientific approach to governance, which he called "positivism."
He was extremely influential during the 19th and early 20th centuries as other philosophers and social critics pursued the value of progress ...

Purple Beauty
Capsicum annuum
Dramatic purple bell peppers grow on compact productive plants. Crisper than other bull nose varieties. Fruit ripens from green to purple to deep red.
Most sweet and hot peppers begin green and then ripen to dizzying array of beautiful colors including red, orange, yellow and purple. Any variety of sweet bell pepper can be harvested as a green bell pepper, or left on the plant to fully ripen, becoming sweeter in the process. Hot peppers, often called chilies, can also be harvested at any stage in development and will sometimes take on new identities depending on whether they are harvested for fresh eating or dried. Ancho chilies, for example, are poblanos left to become red-ripe and then dried. Nearly every culinary tradition seems to have found a place for the joy (and occasional sorrow) of hot peppers. One or two plants will fit easily in any garden, and probably find its way into every dish! Nutrients: vitamins A, C, K, and B6.

this forum post from Blizzard, and sing a happy song while you hurry up and wait! That's right, in answer to the crying pleas of casual alt-oholics everywhere, Blizzard is finally speeding up the tedious leveling curve for old world content in patch 2.3, adding in a bunch of new quests, nerfing a lot of the nastiest bad guys, and buffing a whole bunch of the items they drop.
Here's a summarized list of the changes, with the full post by Vaneras copied for you beyond the link below.
[via WoW Vault]
Here's a summarized list of the changes, with the full post by Vaneras copied for you beyond the link below.
- Amount of experience needed to level reduced by 15% per level between 20 and 60.
- Experience gained from completing quests increased between levels 30 and 60.
- Outdoor elite quests will now now be soloable, with the same (or better) rewards.
- About 60 new quests and a new goblin town based in Dustwallow Marsh (levels 30 to 40)
- Level ranges for old dungeons to be narrowed down a bit (so that if you are high enough to start them, you are high enough to finish them too)
- Increased questing experience for dungeon quests.
- Buffed up item drops from dungeon bosses.
As many of you already know we've been working on changes designed to improve various aspects of leveling for those making their way to level 60. These improvements, available in patch 2.3 will come in many forms and should significantly contribute to a more fluid and enjoyable leveling experience .I have a couple of characters I've been wanting to work on right around the level 25 to 30 range, so I'm one of those happy customers in a prime position to take advantage of this new system. If it turns out to be as good as it seems, then this may make the game much more enjoyable for those of us who really like to try out all the different classes and get to know different play styles very well.
The first notable change was to simply reduce the amount of experience needed each level by approximately 15% between levels 20 and 60. Please note that when the patch is released, characters affected by this change will remain at their current level percentage. For example, if a character had exactly 50% of the current level's total experience before this change went into effect, the character would still have exactly 50% of the current level's total experience; only now fewer points would be needed to level.
Questing plays a very large role in World of Warcraft, especially while leveling and we felt that improvements to this front were necessary as well. Experience gained for completing quests (on average) between levels 30 and 60 is being increased. The increase becomes more substantial as you make your way towards 60. Additionally, many outdoor elite mobs will become non-elites, making many quests which were previously too difficult or required a group much easier and offer the same rewards (in some cases better!). A good example of this change would be Stromgarde Keep in Arathi Highlands, which will become a solo friendly environment when patch 2.3 goes live.
We've also added approximately 60 new quests in Dustwallow Marsh. This should help players who find themselves lacking quests in the 30-40 range. The Steamwheedle Cartel is building the new town of Mudsprocket in south-west Dustwallow Marsh, so you'll have to wait until construction is complete to learn more about these changes.
We're making other improvements to pre-bc leveling dungeons that players will likely find most agreeable. The level range for most every dungeon is being adjusted so that there is a much smaller range between the level of mobs found early in the dungeon to those found towards the end. For example, Shadowfang Keep is currently designed for levels 18-25 which means that right now, players who are towards the bottom of that range (18) will find it nearly impossible to complete the dungeon, while players towards the top of the range (25) will find most of the dungeon trivial. Using our new model (similar to what you'll notice with Burning Crusade leveling dungeons), Shadowfang Keep is being retuned for levels 18-21.
We also want to make running a leveling up dungeon more worth while. In addition to increasing quest experience for dungeon quests, we're also upgrading all pre-bc dungeon boss drops to blue quality items. Some examples are listed below:
Ragefire Chasm
Robe of Evocation old: +3 Stamina, + 4 Intelligence

One of the first things Ray Lena did when he was faced with the destruction of his restaurant, Anjelicas on Ocean Avenue in Sea Bright, was put a sign over what remained:
No Retreat ... No Surrender.
Its a reference to the Bruce Springsteen song of defiance No Surrender.
I was thinking about Springsteen, and he has that ability and gift to put into words what other people are thinking, Lena said. Hes a great writer, so thats what were thinking. Were not going to give up here.
If theres a soundtrack to the Jersey Shores post-Sandy reckoning, its arguably the music of Springsteen. On YouTube, clips of the devastation are accompanied by his songs, including a video titled Hurricane Sandy Sea Bright, which is accompanied by One Step Up. Its been viewed more than 200,000 times. The names of fundraising movements have taken his song titles: Theres Sea Bright Rising, and 10th Avenue Freeze-out was the name of the boroughwide music event Nov. 24 in Belmar.
His songs are accompanying cleanups, and theyre resonating with people from the Jersey Shore as never before.
It wasnt that I was affected (by Sandy), but when I hear certain (Springsteen) songs on the radio, I start crying, said Lisa Appelbaum Somogyi, 46, of Howell, who lost power for several days. I grew up on the Shore, and its not there anymore.
Even though Springsteen has been touring with the E Street Band on the road and has not appeared in public at the Shore since Sandy, the bond between Shore residents and the Shores most famous son is stronger than ever.
We all connect to Bruce here. Its hard not to, said Scott Fadynich of Sea Bright. He visits Sea Bright a lot ... on the weekends in the summers hell go the Chapel Beach Club and walk on down to Donovans (Reef) and jump on stage with Brian Kirk and the Jerks.
Springsteen, a native of Freehold who has homes in Colts Neck and Rumson, has lived in several Shore towns.
The ocean has always been a part of him, and I cant imagine the impact (of Sandy) on what hes writing, said John D. Luerssen of Westfield, author of Bruce Springsteen FAQ (Backbeat Books). Everybody knows somebody who has had damage to their home or had a tree take out a car.
The aftermath of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks and their impact on Shore residents inspired Springsteen to write and record the 2002 album The Rising, which gave voice to those affected by 9/11. Now, say observers, comes a similar moment.
It is similar because what it is is a total disruption of the normal, Shore restaurateur, musician and Springsteen friend Tim McLoone said. You can hear that racket at the house its workmen underneath ripping all the insulation.
McLoones Little Silver home suffered damage, and several of his restaurants, including McLoones Rum Runner in Sea Bright, were hit by Sandy.
After 9/11, there was that iconic moment in Rumson where somebody pulled up next to him and said Hey Bruce, we need you more than ever, McLoone said. He responded. He took it personally.
So far, Springsteen has performed in the televised Hurricane Sandy: Coming Together Red Cross benefit Nov. 2 on NBC and is scheduled to play the 12-12-12 (A Concert For Sandy Relief) on Dec. 12 in Madison Square Garden in New York City. In concert, Springsteen has been dedicating his song My City of Ruins to the Jersey Shore. The storm has also helped thaw liberal Springsteens previously chilly relationship with conservative GOP Gov. Chris Christie. The two hugged on one occasion, and the governor said he later wept after meeting his music idol.
Springsteen subsequently joined the Hurricane Sandy New Jersey Relief Fund advisory board, which was created by New Jersey first lady Mary Pat Christie to help the states long-term recovery effort.
The destruction that New Jersey has sustained is heartbreaking, Springsteen said in a prepared statement from the relief fund. Im humbled to play a small role by supporting the New Jersey Relief Fund and know that all of us will rally together to help our neighbors to come back better and stronger.
Springsteens role in the Shores recovery will be greater than his support of the fund, regardless of his future actions.
He finds it perplexing, but hes come to grips with it, said McLoone of Springsteens standing at the Shore.
Meanwhile, Lena, who has hosted Springsteen and members of the E Street Band at Anjelicas in the past, returned to gutting and cleaning out his restaurant with the goal of reopening.
Here the reality of it sets in, and you have to do the economics of it and how much youre going to get from insurance and how much is it going to cost for you to rebuild the place, and that gets deflating, Lena said. But you find a way, and youre thinking about resiliency and the spirit of people, and thats what really drives you.
Springsteen couldnt have said it better.

Gold stocks investment can be a lucrative venture since it rises in value as a result of constant demand. But before going into the gold market, know that all investments have their own risk and gold stock investing is no different. If you follow these steps, it will help you invest properly and make lots of profits in the gold market.
Find one form of investment. Gold bars or bullion are variations of actual gold. Gold bars, gold coins, and gold bullion are the most favorable form of gold stocks investments. Most times these types of gold investment are considered as the most secured investment as they are the most tangible aspect of the real gold. Some other gold investment items such as jewelry are equally good gold investment stocks but not as good as gold bars, bullion, and coins.
An investor who wants to add gold investment in his list of investment portfolio has to understand the various means of acquiring gold bars, coins, and bullions. For investors, the most profitable method of investing in high quality gold stocks is to try and obtain old products with high real gold quality because they are more expensive in the gold stock market. Gold bullion in particular has been traded for thousands of years and their prices are determined by the age of the piece and the type of gold they are made of.
Just like other kinds of products, the forces of demand and supply equally work in the gold stock market. This means that the scarce gold items are more expensive than the widely available ones. So, always go for gold pieces that are scarce and not mass produced because their market prices are always higher.
Always try to evaluate the current interest rates before you buy. The demand for gold and other precious metals increases when equities, real estate investments, and interest on bonds are not enough to sufficiently pay investors. Negative or low interest rates are strong indicators that the value of gold stocks will increase in the future. So, you can decide to buy when interest rates are low and hope to sell when gold prices increase.
Do not keep all your investments in one gold stock basket. You should always diversify in your gold investment and other investment options because the market can sometimes throw some devastating punch that will mostly affect those who have all their investments piled in one place.
In a nut shell, understanding how best to buy gold can earn you considerable amounts of returns. Use the above tips and some other good strategies you will find online to invest profitably and scale through stormy financial waters in the gold stock market.

As I sit on the couch drinking a good cold beer I thought I would ask whats your favorite beer brewed in your state. For me being a Pennsylvania guy I have to go with Yuengling.
Oh man... We are fortunate to have several great breweries in Missouri, most notable being boulevard, mothers and shlafly. I think my favorite would be Boulevards Tank 7 Farmhouse Ale. Or, Mothers Winter Grind coffee stout.
Impossible to choose. I love craft brews. I'm a beer snob
My mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives.
Has to be Ickyosauras from Great Basin Brewery. They have several great brews but the Icky is my favorite. I have to admit that there are several Cali brews I love to. North Coast Brewery has some goodies, Prankster Ale is my favorite when I visit Fort Bragg. Honestly there aren't many beers I'd turn down tho. A biiddy at work says his favorite is free beer!
Prairie Pale from Little Apple Brewery. Good and hoppy. Another great is Tallgrass Ale. Im with you guys, I don't turn down very many beers.
Banquet beer
A bad day in the woods is better than a good day at work.
Shoot the best, Shoot PSE!
NONE! All good beer is made in Colorado LOL We do have some good Dry Fly wheat whiskey made here in Washington.
Just trying a couple Flipside's by Sierra Nevada, pretty good. Also like Racer 5 and Lagunitas IPA.
Dick's pale ale from Dick's Brewery. I also like Dick's Barley Wine Ale.

Indian Wells Valley Blackout Stout - It's the best of all worlds - It's really good, the brewery is 5 miles from my house (fresh beer and some good deals) and the steakhouse next door to the brewery has it on tap for $3.75 a pint.
My next up is Firestone Brewery (Paso Robles) Porter
Ah, the nostalgic aroma of a yak dung stove brewing up some tea full of herbs best left untranslated.

Jacob Billingsley uses a leg press machine at the Family Y in Hattiesburg. / Photos by Bryant Hawkins/Hattiesburg American
Some people go to the Family Y for the exercise. Patricia Kopsinis, 70, goes to heal personal heartbreak through the bonds forged with fellow members.
Its just a constant, daily feeling of support, she said. Its made it possible for me to laugh and smile again.
Kopsinis lost her husband, John Kopsinis, a retired attorney, in April 2012 to pancreatic cancer. Then in November, she lost a daughter, Rebecca Shelton, to a medical condition that caused her to choke to death.
With her remaining children spread out across the country, Kopsinis discovered another family in the Family Y on Veterans Memorial Drive.
She stretches and flexes with instructor Floanne Kersh on Tuesdays and Thursdays. She dancercizes with instructor Doris Higgins on Mondays and Wednesdays, where her fellow dancers are, on average, a full decade older than she is.
She also participates in the Ys monthly luncheons and weekly roundtable discussions.
They have a wonderful group here, explained Kopsinis, who first joined the Y in 2010. Theyre very supportive, very kind, very thoughtful.
The spirit of community has been strong at the Y during its 100 years of building healthy minds, spirits and bodies in Hattiesburg.
The Y moved into its current facility on Veterans Memorial Drive in 1994. The Y added a second 32,000-square-foot location in Petal in 2003.
Its membership has risen accordingly with these changes. In 1994, the Y boasted 1,400 memberships (family units). By 2008, its membership had crested at 3,600 units, before tough economic times brought it down to its current number of 3,100.
As to where its going, executive director Dan Henley could have summed it up with a simple Westward, ho!
We need to be in Lamar County, Henley said. A large number of families and individuals have asked us to be in Lamar County, and eventually that will happen.
There were plans as recently as 2010 to build a Y in Lamar County. Y officials unveiled the blueprint for the states largest branch (60,000-80,000 square feet) at the intersection of U.S. 98 and Mississippi 589, with the Lamar County Board of Supervisors approving $1.3 million in tax increment financing for its construction.
But then those plans ran headlong into a recession that hampered the projects fundraising potential. Y officials put the brakes on the Lamar County facility, as well as plans for a more modest 9,000-square-foot downtown Hattiesburg location on Mobile Street.
Henley said the Lamar County plan has not been abandoned, just postponed, though the future location is up in the air.
This YMCA has to be located where it is convenient for the entire Lamar County area, he explained. We still talk about it every day. We still get phone calls about it every day.
Lamar County Administrator Chuck Bennett said that hes hopeful about the Y coming to the county, even while acknowledging that he expects it to be a long-term project.
Were eager for the day when the YMCA opens up its doors and provides services for the countys residents, he said.
While plans for future facilities are currently at a standstill, the Family Y is still moving ahead with new programs driven in part by a nationwide Y initiative to combat the dual epidemics of obesity and diabetes.
In the fall, the Family Y will begin a healthy families series with educational seminars designed to give around-the-home tips in areas such as healthy cooking.
The hope is that the lessons in healthy lifestyle taught to children in Y summer and after-school programs will be reinforced at home.
You can do a lot with these children, but so much still depends on the follow-through at home, and what theyre learning from their parents, Henley said.
The Y also has its stable of community-driven programs, such as the active adult programs that provide both exercise and a sense of belonging for seniors in the community.
Higgins, 74, who has led the dancercize class at the Y for 16 years, laughs that for most of the time she has taught the class she has been its youngest member.
And while the bending and stretching is good for her pupils, there are also some added benefits.
Besides the exercise, we laugh a lot in here, Higgins said. I think laughter is one of the best things for you. It just makes you feel very uplifted (its) just fun.
There are added benefits for Henley in his job as well.
This is a business, and you spend the majority of your time managing a business, said Henley, who has been the Family Ys executive director since 1999. What I have that most people dont have is (this): Any time that I find myself frustrated or down I can get up from my desk and go to the back where the children are, or the active older adults, and see how worthwhile my job actually is. Thats pretty energizing.

Flooded is the only one that really makes my head spin. That and the one in the factory setting (haven't memorized all the names yet). But flooded is just so chaotic and has so many levels and quasi-levels with its apocalyptic destruction.
Overall I think any issue I have with these maps is simply b/c they aren't as easy to learn as Black Ops 2 maps, a game I put 100s of hours into. Once I learn the Ghosts maps better I think I'll be fine with all of them. All through BO2 I was wishing for bigger and more complex maps. Got that with Ghosts, so I certainly shouldn't be complaining now! haha

Re: A complete list of maps I consider decentnicedrewishfela Dec 6, 2013 12:56 PM (in response to Lucent76)
Listing maps is pointless. As a long time CoD player, the biggest thing I have learned is that it takes all kinds of kinds.
Some love the little maps, others despise them. Some dig huge maps, others hate them. What you think is a horrible map, others may absolutely love. Take Nuketown, for example. Not one of my favorites, I enjoyed it in moderation, but for some reason many were crazy about it.
The key to maps is variety. Not all are going to be to your liking. But good players learn each map, even the ones they hate. They figure out their strategy and eventually learn to have success on all of them. I personally challenge myself to stick with maps I am not fond of. For the first several play sessions, for example, I couldn't stand Siege. Just kept dying from every angle. Today it is not my favorite map still, however I figured out how I need to play it and have done a lot better.
Issue is, people decide they hate certain maps... and quit when they come up in the rotation, adding to the already complex issue of Match-making. (CoD Community's sense of entitlement strikes again) Stick out every map in the rotation and you will be all the better for it. Helps prevent burn out on the game as well, when you allow for variety in the rotation.
Re: A complete list of maps I consider decentCurliestRogue0 Dec 6, 2013 1:40 PM (in response to nicedrewishfela)
My main takeaway from your post here is BALANCE. Give me a mix of small hectic maps and large sprawling maps, circular maps and funnel maps, flat maps and vertical maps and I'm a happy camper. BO2 was alot of fun, but it was constant frenetic madness with like 1 or 2 exceptions. I needed more of those exceptions to make it feel like a well-rounded game. To be fair, I only purchased on set of DLC maps, so I may have missed some diversity there.
The reason so many people liked Nuketown was that it was constant action. For better or worse, you couldn't go 10 seconds without a firefight, and usually much less than that.
Re: A complete list of maps I consider decentnicedrewishfela Dec 6, 2013 1:52 PM (in response to CurliestRogue0)
Balance is a good way to put it.
I don't mind constant action, but I also like the more slow paced matches from time to time as well. They have a certain intensity that is just hard to describe.
Issue is, CoD Players want what THEY want, have no patience for what others may enjoy. They are selfish and thus impact match-making and the overall experience. Enjoyment can be found in pretty much every map... and while I can certainly feel people's pain when I get into awful matches on Maps I am not crazy about, I look at it as a learning/growing experience.

after trying and evaluating several programs to write LaTeX files I ended up frustrated with the idea to write my own one. Before I started I thought about what I would like to achieve and one major priority is the cross platform support and a fast and efficient way to complete my work.
With the aim to complete my PhD thesis with it I wrote a plugin for Sublime Text 2. After playing around with the available LaTeXTools for ST2 I started to improve it but after a while I realised I wrote so much from scratch and added so many new functions that I basically created a brand new plugin.
Now I am at a position where I could need some beta tester to improve the software even more and eventual add new features. Please sent me a PM if you are interested.
The official website: http://www.latexing.com
You can also give me some feedback here to the feature list below; what do you think?
- Full project support
- Smart fill of the following core commands: include, input, includegraphics, cite, bibliography
- Forward and Reverse search by using the synctec function
- "Goto Symbol" support, jump to any part, chapter, section, paragraph, label, input, include, subfile, bibliography, or LATEXing option in your LATEX file
- User defined temp directory and possibility to clean a build
- TeXLive, MikTeX, and MacTeX support
- Search for package documentation using "texdoc" commando line tool if available
- Count your words by using "texcount" commando line tool if available
- Internet Thesauruses and Dictionaries for selected words, for example via Dictionary.com, Pons.eu, or Thesaurus.com
- Bibsonomy.com support for references; import single reference, multiple references by tag, or all missing reference keys
- Support of the following packages: subfiles, cleveref, acronym, currfile
- Support of cwl files provided by the separate LaTeX-cwl extension
- Dynamic load of commands for included packages
- Smart creation of labels for parts, chapters, sections, paragraphs, caption of figures and tables
- Windows and MacOS X (Linux Version will be released eventually later, need some tester)

Topic: Eli Roth 's :The Last Exorcism
The trailer for Eli Roth's The Last Exorcism
Im not a huge fan of Roth but I gotta say the trailer looks creepy--hopefully the film delivers the creepiness it seems to promise.
Plot :
When he arrives on the rural Louisiana farm of Louis Sweetzer, the Reverend Cotton Marcus expects to perform just another routine "exorcism" on a disturbed religious fanatic. An earnest fundamentalist, Sweetzer has contacted the charismatic preacher as a last resort, certain his teenage daughter Nell is possessed by a demon who must be exorcized before their terrifying ordeal ends in unimaginable tragedy.
Buckling under the weight of his conscience after years of parting desperate believers with their money, Cotton and his crew plan to film a confessionary documentary of this, his last exorcism. But upon arriving at the already blood drenched family farm, it is soon clear that nothing could have prepared him for the true evil he encounters there. Now, too late to turn back, Reverend Marcus' own beliefs are shaken to the core when he and his crew must find a way to save Nell – and themselves – before it is too late.
I gotta say that except for the girl crawling on the ceiling --this looks alot like alleged"actual" possesions that have been documented . And I like the fact that the film portrays an alternative method of "exorcism". rather than a catholic church and priest.
check out the trailer. seems alot like a cross between Exorcism of Emily Rose and Patranormal Activity to me.

White House officials have announced President Obama will sign a memorandum on Wednesday which will extend health and other benefits to gay partners of federal employees.
Media reports have suggested the timing of the announcement may be related to the barrage of criticism from gay rights groups the administration has been facing in recent days.
Earlier this week, the Justice Department filed legal papers in support of the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) which bans the federal government from recognizing same-sex unions as marriages. Shortly before that, the government had expressed support for the Supreme Court recent decision to uphold the "don't ask, don't tell" policy.
While calling today's decision "terrific," Richard Socarides, an adviser to the Clinton administration on gay issues, said Obama had promised much but delivered little thus far, quoted by the New York Times.
"So more important now is what he says about the future for gay people during his presidency," he added.
Meanwhile, Family Research Council (FRC) President Tony Perkins has said the president's move violates the DOMA.
"[The executive order] uses taxpayer money to placate an angry portion of his base at the expense of the rule of law," Perkins commented.
He added the FRC lawyers intend to look closely at the new law to determine what further course of action to take.

This was really good. We doubled up a lot of ingredients and it still had lots of flavor. Very good recipe. Even our pickier eaters ate it.
I would personally give this recipe 4 stars as I thought it was very good. However, my family didn't agree. I loved the subtle flavors and how they blended. It was easy to cook and quite economical. They wanted more cheese...I thought it was just perfect.

Tracie Hunter was indicted Tuesday on a ninth felony charge after her indictment Friday on eight others.
The new indictment involves allegations of Hunter using her county credit card for non-travel purposes. The additional charge was presented Tuesday to the grand jury.
Judge Tracie Hunter indicted on 8 felony counts
The Friday indictment included charges of forgery, backdating court documents in cases before her, using her county credit card to pay for legal filings she made in lawsuits against her and improperly assisting her brother, a former Juvenile Court employee fired for punching a teen inmate.
The charges in the first indictment carry a maximum prison sentence of 13 years in prison. The new charge carries a maximum prison sentence of one year in prison.
After her Friday indictment, Hunter was suspended from the bench with pay by the Ohio Supreme Court while the criminal charges are pending. All Ohio Common Pleas Court judges are paid $121,350 annually.
Hunter is scheduled to be in court Friday to answer to the charges.
Three Hamilton County Common Pleas court judges two of them Democrats like Hunter declined Tuesday to preside over her criminal charges. Democrats Jody Luebbers and Jerome Metz, Jr. recused as did Republican Leslie Ghiz.
Judges are randomly assigned criminal cases but can recuse, or remove themselves from cases, if there is a conflict.
Now, Court Administrator Pat Dressing said, the other felony-court judges will be asked if they want to preside over Hunters criminal case. If none do, the Ohio Supreme Court will appoint a visiting judge.

Happy Tuesday Loopy Loopsters! If you guys remember, my favorite race ever is the Wine Cellar Classic 10K. It's a local race that I run every year and they give out really cool wine glasses for awards. To refresh your memory, I won this one in 2011:
Yepper... I love my wine glasses. So I guess it wasn't too hard for Tom (TOsuperstar) to find me the perfect birthday present!!!! Look what came in the mail today!:
Loopsters, this is some fine, fine stemware! You don't break a glass like this out for just "every day"! Absolutely NOT! So I'm saving this one for something really special! On Saturday I'm running my first 5K of the year - the Komen Race for the Cure. Now I've been pretty faithful with my speed work lately and I'm hoping for a PR. My birthday is also on Friday, so I'm thinking a double toast would be pretty OSOM!
I have to confess that some people don't get too excited when I start rambling about this kind of stuff. They tell me it's enough to put them to sleep:
But I'm excited!
Anyway, thanks for the glass Tom!! I really love it! and I hope I can use it to do some "celebrating" this weekend. To thank you, Dana and I are going to take you somewhere real special when you come back this Fall! Someplace you've always wanted to visit!:
Yea, I know it's just "wong", but I'm really looking forward to a few good "Yo Momma" jokes hehe.
Anyway, that's all I've got Loopy Loopsters! Hopefully, I'll have a decent race report this weekend. The number to beat is 23:52. Take 'er breezy and I'll catch ya later.. xoxox RC
"Anything that gets your blood racing is probably worth doing" - Hunter S. Thompson
I want to see you toasting your PR with that...um...amazing wine glass!
makes me wonder what redneck jam jars look like.I see a PR coming your way.
Happy birthday, pretty lady! ox's right back atcha'! Good luck with the 5K. Get up front at the start it will be crowded I'm sure with it being Komen related. Love the Red Neck wine glass. We have one too, but it's a red Solo cup on a candle stick.
Most limitations are self made.
Good luck!
Carpe Currendum
Go get that PR, RC! (and happy early birthday)
Good luck with the PR!
The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step
-Lao Tzu
Good Luck!! love that race. go get that PR!
Good Luck with the 5K, and congrats on the new AG! I think you need a special box of wine for that glass....
Life's a Journey...Enjoy the Ride!
Have a great run and an even better Birthday! A couple of the Wellesley College girls kissed me in Boston, I am hoping to get a smooch from a Big Ugly Woman when you and Dana take me there a sight seeing! Cheers! Now if Moose would send on of them fancy schmancy Italian wines it would be perfect!
23:23 is a nice round number. You should do that.
Run fun! ~Mike
Early birthday wishes! I'm sure some large wine glasses will be put to good use Friday evening.
Knock'em dead at the 5k!
Absolutely... just need to decide whether it's going to be white or red
Good one Plugger! Thanks
Ha! Those red Solo cups are pretty handy. Thanks for the b-day wishes John!
Ah... I can see YOU'VE played this game before too hehe. Thank you kind sir! You are OSOM too
Good luck, have a great race! Nice redneck stemware there.
thanks Peg!
That sounds like a winner! Thanks Chicklet! BTW, I love that new avatar
Thanks Eliz!
Thanks Alli!
Thanks Corc!!
Ah, the "box-a-wine".. I have to admit I have had one of those in my fridge before lol
Thanks WCR!! Fingers crossed!
I actually have a nice Italian wine from Moose! He sent me one via Sass when he was in Lexington. I think that one would be perfect. Thanks again Tom!
I know! That was some nasty weather last year. Wish you were going to be here again
Thanks Colonel!! I agree that is a nice round number... I sure would like to see a 22:xx though hehe
Thanks Gerry!!! I hope I have a good race
A wine glass with a lid. Love it. That will come in handy while celebrating your 30th birthday Friday and when you smash your PR Saturday.
Run on everyone.....................Steve
Cool gift - love the red neck stemware! Good luck with the 5k! And happy birthday, you don't look a day over................
So you're goinna take TO to see the Big Ugly people, huh? I love that glass!! Any drink tastes better in a Mason jar! Best of luck at Komen!!!
Run happy , Run mad , Run broken-hearted , Run free ... but whatever you do, Just RUN!!!
Do you know what color this year will be?
Embrace this moment.
Remember - we are eternal, all this pain is an illusion.
Thanks! you meant 29 right?
Absolutely!! Thanks Steve!
Nope... it's always a surprise
I predict 23:32.
I guess I see that glass full of shine.

Editor's question: Do you agree that Sheboygan has the problems the author mentions? If yes, what should be done to fix them? Click here to comment.
Editor's note:The following letter is a response to You Ask, We Answer: Is Sheboygan's population declining? published on March 17.
A comment on the decreasing population of Sheboygan. Having been born, raised and lived in Sheboygan much of my adult life, I was glad to have the opportunity to move out of the city.
Sheboygan has a drug epidemic, lots of criminal activity and poorly maintained streets. We do not utilize the Sheboygan Fire Department, but instead support the Cascade Volunteer Fire Department.
I am still contributing to Sheboygan economically as I frequent many stores and restaurants there. I think it is safe to say that I am not the only one to choose to live elsewhere but still, in some ways, continue to support Sheboygan.
An opinion from an ex-Sheboyganite.

Underbed storage
Need more space to store stuff? Our underbed storage lets you keep things like duvets or summer clothes in underbed storage boxes or in a storage unit at the foot of your bed. So your things stay out of the way but still close at hand. Some of our storage boxes come with castors, so you can easily pull out your storage from under the bed. Or why not make it easy for yourself? A storage bed is the ultimate all-in-one space saving solution.
If you are looking for more storage solutions, consider clothes organisers to neatly organise your wardrobe.

Bed storage – under bed storage boxes and storage units
Our under bed storage boxes and storage units come in many different styles and materials. They let you turn unused space into handy storage, and you won't have to do so much awkward vacuuming under the bed. They're ideal for storing things like bed linen and duvets - or just about anything you want to get out of the way but still have close at hand. Our bed storage comes in different styles, so it's easy to find something that suits yours. And as a lot of our bed storage belongs to a series, you can easily coordinate your bed storage with other bedroom furniture. Look out for series names like ASPELUND or ODDA or ENGAN.
If this bed storage isn't enough…
Bed storage is certainly a great idea, but there's obviously a limit to how much you can store in the under bed storage boxes shown here. So maybe you'd like to check out our other storage options as well. They'll help you keep your things organised and easy to find. We have a big choice in lots of sizes, styles and materials - from coat hooks and clothes hangers to chests of drawers and wardrobes. And as a lot of our storage belongs to a series, it's easy to create a coordinated look. We also have lots of other home furnishings that match too - like soft furnishings, lamps and mirrors.

issues 1–91 are available for download
Editors Christophe Van Gerrewey and Véronique Patteeuw will talk with Rem Koolhaas about the first decade of the Office for Metropolitan Architecture.
The Architecture of Use and Appropriation.
This issue of OASE is situated within a tradition that gives a central role to questions of use and appropriation in architectural reflection. The general attention to use and appropriation is part and parcel of a layered critique of architecture.
and performative spaces have long been at the centre of OMA's – and now mostly AMO's
– work. Two key exhibitions of the late 20th century roughly bookend
the time span covered by OASE 94 –
which title is inspired by OMA's The
First Decade 1989 show at the Museum Boijmans van Beuningen in Rotterdam. On
the one hand, OMA's participation in the Strada
Novissima at the First International Architecture Exhibition of the Venice
Biennale, for which a facade had been elaborated between 1979 and 1980; and on
the other hand, the Deconstructivist
Architecture exhibition that opened in June 1988 at the MoMA in New York. Yet
the Strada Novissima facade has been omitted
from all OMA's chronologies. What sense can we make of that project and what
did it represent? Which were the commonalities between OMA's agonistic
participation and other projects featuring Koolhaas' paradoxical use of history?
This thematic issue of OASE sheds new light on the architectural
production of OMA during its first decade (1978-1989) – a mythical but
at the same time not very well known period in the history of the
world-famous office of Rem Koolhaas.
Joachim Declerck, Frits Palmboom and Dirk Sijmons were interviewed on 26 June 2014 by Michiel Dehaene, Bruno Notteboom and Hans Teerds on the topic addressed in OASE#93 "Making landscape Public, Making Public Landscape". The full inter view can be read online on our website.
On November 20th OASE and the Architecture Film Festival, will screen "Robinson in Ruins" by Patrick Keiller in Floriscoop Rotterdam at the launch of the new OASE #93 magazine. The film will be introduced by the editors Michiel Dehaene and Claudia Faraone in English. Entrance is 5 euro. Seats are limited, please reserve a seat by filling in the form on the website of the AFFR.
With this theme issue of OASE we would like to transcend national or polemical discussions, and look at the architectural production of O.M.A. during this first decade, leading to 1989 — a mythical but at the same time not very well-known period in the history of the office.
A conversation about atmosphere in architecture with Peter Zumthor, Juhani Pallasmaa and Gernot Böhme
