This weeks edition is brought to you by The Desperado: Its where Jesus chooses to play.
In your digest this week
Attention Nukapedia Shoppers
Its not quite as good as last week's Free Fallout; but now all Interplay games are now 50% off on Gog.com; if Fallout 1 wet your appetite this includes Fallout 2 and Fallout Tactics, and if you missed Fallout 1 well this is your chance to at least get it a bit cheaper.
Also included is Fallout's often forgotten brother "Lionheart" which adapted the Fallout 1/2 mechanics into a fantasy game.
From the Administrative Enclave
We don't usually cover Mystery Polls here on the News Digest… But here's one we can. Mystery is running for Administrator. Have your say by 20 April.
Yes-Man and Cartman have been assigned Chatmod rights.
From Wikia
Just a reminder, Wikia's next Webinar is Best Practices for Structuring your Wiki: Categories, Navigation and More, oh my. This webinar starts April 20, 3PM Pacific time. You can find more on Wikia's Webinar page.
News from the wastes
Nukapedia is proud to be affiliated with The Wasteland Wiki, and not just to please Fat Freddie.
Kickstarter Update
This whole Wasteland 2 experience takes me back to when games were made with art and passion and not just as another commodity."— Brian Fargo, Twitter
There's just 3 days left to make your pledge to Wasteland 2, more than 50,000 people have already pledged over $2.4 Million.. The revolution may not be televised, but its on Kickstarter!
Interview Roundup
No Mutants Allowed
Chris Avellone and Brian Fargo have been talking to No Mutants Allowed. Lets take some highlights:
- NMA:Brian, between having Jason Anderson having written much of the story, bringing the old team back together, and now adding Chris Avellone, is there any "too many cooks" problem? How do you ensure a consistent vision?
- BF: Wasteland 1 was created the exact same way in which I brought in a number of different designers to give their spin on an overall world. Jason provided some great ideas and detail on the world of Wasteland 2 and we will parcel out the areas to the different designers like Mike or Chris and they can design what they wish within those areas. We will detail out what we need for them to accomplish in their locale and it might be a simple set of variables like "make sure they get the proton axe, make sure they meet Mad Dog Fargo and they received a certain clue". As long as they get those points across and stay within the framework of the world then I want to see their spin on it. This keeps the world fresh and with variety throughout. This is a similar process as to when sci-fi writers collaborate on a book.
- NMA:Are you looking to license the Onyx engine from them? Has inXile decided on an engine?
- BF: We have narrowed it down to 2 engines (not Onyx) and are now running art tests to make sure it can accomplish the look we want. The other important factor is it needs to be set up so that we don't need high level programmers and artists to get the assets in. There will be SO many world states, quests and interactions for the player that we need to be able to throw enough scripters in to capture all the ideas and outcomes. This is critical.
- NMA:Chris, share some memories of Wasteland. What influence did it have on you when working on Fallout 2, and later on New Vegas and its DLC?
- CA: Wasteland was the 1st post-nuclear RPG I ever played, and as much as its influence was felt on Fallout, it definitely affected future design decisions. In Old World Blues, in particular, when the goal of the DLC was to reach back into history and answer questions unexplained, I wanted to make sure we were saluting Fallout's roots as well, which is the reason for some of the content: (Giant) Robot Scorpions, Proton weapons, and more. Only a few of the fans saw the homage for what it was, but getting that nod in there and supporting our history was important to me.
- NMA:Chris, can you tell us what this means for your own Kickstarter plans? Do you still want to go forward with it, and does this delay it in any way?
- CA: I still want to go forward with future Kickstarter plans. There are a lot of games I'd love to make, and this isn't an obstacle, this is a boost toward that goal in a number of respects, not just from a gaming standpoint but from a game development standpoint:
- 1. I want to support this publishing model. This feels like a better way to deliver to fans (myself included) who I feel get sidelined by the publisher model that doesn't allow for adventure games, turn-based iso RPGs, or even get a Shadowrun game rolling because of the return on investment. I miss those genres and worlds, I grew up with them, and I want to play those games so much so I'd pay (at least) 5x the cost of a triple A game to do it. Furthermore, I support Kick It Forward, and I want to encourage other companies to use this publishing model as well.
- 2. I want to learn from Brian. He positioned himself very well with Kickstarter, and he made a lot of smart decisions on how to approach Wasteland 2 and interface with fans. Working with Brian has been great, and when the time comes to announce a project of our own, I'd love to have Brian's help with it, he's been really pro-active in this whole process.
- 3. Selfishly, I also wanted to work on Wasteland 2. :)
Also, Chris has confirmed he does indeed has a fear of clowns (for those of you looking for blackmail material).
VG 24-7 has also been talking to Brian Fargo. Here again are some clips.
- VG: What sort of game are you hoping to create? It'll be reminiscent of '90s "golden age" RPGs, obviously, but how so? What sort of battle system are you hoping to implement? What sort of stat progression are you looking at? Is it linear or can players choose how they want to evolve their characters? Is the game party-based? Where will it be set?
There are so many elements of Wasteland that worked quite well and we plan to build upon that foundation rather than start over from scratch. Those elements are the sandbox type world, dark humor, party based combat, tactics in battle and a skill based system. However, combat isn't going to consist of scrolling text so clearly we need to up the tactics part of the game.
- BF: And we don't want the tactics SO deep that you feel disconnected from the world by being in long battles all the time. The last thing we want is someone groaning every time combat pops up. The game is going to take place shortly after Wasteland 1 ends. And by the way for everyone who remembers little Bobby – he is pissed off having been shot by Rangers and left for dead.
- VG: You've mentioned that you want this to be a resurrection of old-school Black Isle RPGs in general. So how do you cater to Wasteland fans and Fallout fans while also touching on games like Planescape: Torment, Baldur's Gate, etc? There's so much expectation in terms of what people want this game to be. How do you deal with all of that?
There are common threads that work their way across all those games that we are keeping a keen eye on. Having true cause and effect is a big one. A deep and interesting world is also key and there need to be surprises coming at you throughout. And yes Wasteland is party based game and that is one of the big differences from Fallout. Also there is a strong literary vibe to those games that is especially highlighted with Torment that we will continue on. We are reading every comment on our forums and setting up polls to make sure we have the broad strokes covered. Once we finalize those things we will go off and do what we do best.
- VG: And where does nostalgia fit into all this? I mean, Double Fine Adventure may as well be the Nostalgia Justice League between Schafer and Gilbert, and now you and Chris Avellone are, I don't know, The Avengers or something. Do you think rampant fan demand for blasts from the past could keep RPGs or even the industry from progressing? Also, between you and Avellone, who's going to be played by Chris Hemsworth in the eventual film adaption?
No way is this going to push the genre back in any way. It is all good. There are some elements to those "golden age" games that are timeless but have gotten lost due to a number of factors. It became impossible to sit in a room with an executive to discuss the finer points of RPGs and why there was a demand and what things could be added to make it more exciting.
- BF: The vantage point of most publishers is from a console perspective so that sort of kills the conversation pretty quick. Just the simple need of a keyboard and mouse changes the dynamic of an RPG. Those meetings I made fun of in my video are pretty accurate. Getting dragged into conversations about the color and size of a boot as a top priority was pure insanity and would suck all the creative juices out of the room.
I guess my attitude on this is more philosophical in that if the game doesn't achieve fan funding, then it probably should not have been made. These fans just did you a favor by not voting with their wallets and saving you the time and money making something no one wanted.
- Gamers are not trying to risk money for a profit like a publisher is. They just want a certain game and they are willing to pay for it ahead of time. A publisher is analyzing the market to determine what people want, determining if the upside is high enough, analyzing the opportunity cost and making sure the team is capable of delivering. Ironically the fans have far more trust in developers than the publishers do, and it will be interesting to compare the track records of success. Trust vs. heavy handed management.

Relic of the war that wasn't
Today's relic was part of a system that sadly wasn't completed, they called it "The Last Radio station" , but its name was "WGU-20".
WGU-20 confused ammeter radio buffs after it first went on the air. Broadcasting on 179Khz 24 hours a day with a pre recorded voice reading simply the station name, and the time. This piped the interest of the magazine "Popular Mechanics".
In those days amateur radio buffs would often send away for a "QSL Card" from stations that they heard - a radio version of pokemon. WGU's card contained a picture of Paul Revere, raising the alarm of an upcoming attack.
WGU-20 would have, if the plan had been completed, served the same purpose as a part of the larger Decision Information Distribution System. Cheap long wave receiver units would be included into consumer electronc devices - TVs, Radios and even smoke detectors were seen as perfect recipients for this additional circuitry, and in the event of an alarm being triggered in the continental USA (Alaska and Hawaii were left out of the system).
Vietnam War Wiki needs your help

A Central California man died in a tractor trailer crash on Highway 395 in Helendale on Sunday night.
The 61-year-old Hanford man, whose name wasn't released because his relatives hadn't been notified, was driving a big rig on the 395 north of Shadow Mountain Road at 8:30 p.m. when he collided with another semi truck and several vehicles.
San Bernardino County coroner's officials said he died at the scene about 9 p.m.
At least one of the big rigs spilled carrots all over the roadway and more than 100 gallons of diesel fuel spilled, according to California Highway Patrol logs.
San Bernardino County fire dispatchers said the highway would be closed part of this morning.

DUBLIN – The city of Madrid is full of surprises. If the complexities of today's urban life with large cities full of historical and modern buildings and a busy metropolis of high density neighborhoods and bustling urban traffic are to be avoided for the pristine countryside and open rural spaces, think again. Madrid is full of abundant huge green parks, magnificent tree-lined boulevards, flowers, emblematic greenscrapes, vertical gardens, a boating lake, and an enormous sprawling parkland making the capital of Spain one of the world's leading examples of urban beautification and a Green Renaissance in our 21st century.
"The city of Madrid is one of the 'greenest' cities on our planet," states Christian Narkiewicz-Laine, museum president, The Chicago Athenaeum: Museum of Architecture.
Founded in Chicago in 1950 by architects Eero Saarinen and Charles and Ray Eames, GOOD DESIGN is the world's oldest and most significant global program that awards the best of the best design in terms of visionary products and environments.
Every year, thousands of leading industrial and graphic design firms, manufacturers, and leading Fortune 500 companies vie for this prestigious award worldwide. The familiar GOOD DESIGN logo, a circle inside a square, designed by Chicago graphic designer, Mort Goldsholl in 1950, is one of the world's most visible and highly recognized public branding marks.
In 2008, The Chicago Athenaeum and The European Centre added a "Green" edition to this historic Awards Program as a way to emphasize and promote the best new products and environments that are leading today's "Green Revolution" in order to make a public education statement about the importance of sustainability for consumer product design and our global architecture.
For 2010, the Green GOOD DESIGN Awards recognize cities, governments, organizations, research, programs, and people who are blazing a new path toward a sustainable environment together with new products, buildings and landscape and urban planning projects.
The Green GOOD DESIGN Awards are decided by The European Centre's International Advisory Committee, which is comprised of European leaders in the design industry, manufacturing, and in architecture.
Subsequent Green Awards (more than 100 in all) for 2010 in the categories of industrial and product design, architecture, landscape architecture, and urban planning are to be released by both institutions by the end of this month.
This year, Green GOOD DESIGN Awards were given to the City of Madrid and products, designs, ideas, buildings, and urban planning projects from more than 31 nations.
The Green GOOD DESIGN Award will be presented to Mayor Ruiz-Gallardón at The European Prize for Architecture Black-Tie Dinner on November 5, 2010, during both institutions' "The City and the World: Madrid Symposium," which runs from November 4-7, 2010.
For more information about the Green GOOD DESIGN Award or "The City and the World" symposium, contact Kieran Conlon at The European Centre's Dublin office at firstname.lastname@example.com.

In the days after devastating 2007 wildfires sparked by backcountry power lines, utility executives set up a new charity, the Sempra Energy Foundation, intent on helping victims of a conflagration that killed two and burned more than 1,300 homes in San Diego County.
In the months to follow, the nonprofit foundation funded by Sempra Energy investors distributed $5,158,000 among 1,238 property owners and renters who were left homeless by the fire or lost significant holdings. An additional $60,000 went to a dozen recovery groups that rallied behind people whose homes burned.
Five years after the fires, Sempra's role as a corporate citizen has been thrust into the spotlight as subsidiary San Diego Gas & Electric seeks to recover at least $326 million from utility customers for fire and legal costs not covered by insurance. Another $1.4 billion in settlement demands still are pending in court.
With a key regulatory decision due next week, victims of the fires have drawn a line in the sand, insisting that utility investors pick up the final tab. Executives at Sempra and SDG&E say they will probably be allowed to recoup costs from thousands of settlements with individuals, businesses and government entities.
Renee Van Heel received $5,000 from the Sempra foundation after fleeing her uninsured Monta Elena home along with her husband and three school-aged sons. The family watched their tract house burn on "Good Morning America," and they rebuilt after suing Sempra subsidiary SDG&E and settling out of court.
She's grateful for the Sempra foundation's initial charitable gift — and outraged that utility customers may end up paying for the fire's destruction..
"Every little bit helped. We so appreciated it," said Van Heel, who remains active in a support group for wildfire and disaster victims. "It makes no sense that our friends, and people I don't even know, whose homes weren't damaged, should have to pay for this."
Van Heel was among more than 800 people who packed a public hearing in April to comment on an SDG&E proposal to create a wildfire expense balancing account that would streamline cost recovery from customers.
Under the most current proposal, investors would pay the first $10 million for each fire and 10 percent of costs thereafter, leaving the remaining 90 percent to utility customers. Whether costs from the 2007 wildfires will be allowed remained an open question this week as the California Public Utilities Commission prepared to vote on a final decision Thursday.
"Some commenters offered general praise for SDG&E as a corporate citizen," a commissioner and administrative law judge later wrote, summarizing the public's reaction at the hearing. "But a majority of the commenters opposed the Commission including the 2007 costs in the Wildfire Expense Balancing Account as well as the general concept."
Those who criticized the plan included Dena Bielasz, who survived the Guejito fire by jumping into the swimming pool with her husband while their house burned. Another was the son of teacher Victoria Fox and property manager John Christopher Bain, who died at their home in the Guejito fire.
"We do not want this rate increase ever," said Michael Bain. "It's never going to happen."
At the same time, SDG&E won general praise from representatives of the prevention and treatment BURN Institute, from the 211 San Diego health and disaster line, from an umbrella group for 30 volunteer fire departments and from the local American Red Cross, among many others.
Those groups are among the steady beneficiaries of $5 million in annual charitable giving by SDG&E — independent of the Sempra Energy Foundation — according to disclosures filed with the California Public Utilities Commission.
Frank Ault spoke in support of SDG&E's cost recovery request on behalf of the San Diego Regional Fire and Emergency Services Foundation, an umbrella fundraising group for volunteer fire departments where he serves as board chairman. The foundation received $50,000 in charitable contributions from SDG&E last year.
"We were just addressing the fact that they are a good corporate citizen that tries to mitigate the impact of fires regardless of who starts it," said Ault, a retired SDG&E accountant.
Ault said the utility called him in advance of the hearing and asked that he attend. His endorsement of the SDG&E proposal was based on his understanding fire costs would still be reviewed by regulators before charging customers. Critics of the plan say it would rubber-stamp costs.
Charitable giving in the immediate aftermath of the fires by the Sempra foundation came with no strings attached and no expectations in return, Sempra Energy spokeswoman Sabra Lattos said.
Recipients signed agreements to spend the funding for "purposes related to my needs resulting from the 2007 wildfires," with no other caveats.
They still could sue San Diego Gas & Electric to recover uninsured losses — and did in many instances.
Such charitable corporate donations are tax deductible, but cannot be written off on a dollar-per-dollar basis, explained Leonard Sonnenberg, a certified public accountant whose San Diego firm caters mainly to nonprofits. Corporate investors typically reclaim a percentage of charitable giving at tax time, factored at the business's corporate tax rate.
Pat Libby, director of the Institute for Nonprofit Education and Research at the University of San Diego, said Sempra has a long track record of philanthropy and would not have given to fire victims for tax purposes or "just to look good in the eyes of the public."
"The deduction is lovely and it's important and it does incentivize charitable giving," Libby said. "But usually it has more to do with a particular corporate culture that emanates from the CEO or the board room."
Since 2007, the Sempra foundation has moved on to other causes and other disasters, recently donating $50,000 to assist victims of Hurricane Sandy on the East Coast, and offered to match up to $50,000 in contributions from employees. The donations were channeled through the American Red Cross Relief Fund.
Beth Edwards of Ramona, whose family lost a barn, tractor, irrigation system and fencing on their 64-acre ranch when the 2007 fires swept across her property, says she now sees the charitable gift she received from Sempra in 2008 as self-serving.
Edwards said she paid her own legal fees in reaching a settlement with SDG&E, but may end up paying the utility's costs and legal fees through her electricity bill.
"I feel like they did their best ... to give when it benefited them the most," she said of Sempra Energy and SDG&E. "Do they help? Yes. But they help themselves first."

Brevard, N.C. - The Brevard College Football team will be coming off a bye week when they take the field on Saturday, heading to Charlotte, N.C. to take on CIAA opponent Johnson C. Smith at the Irwin Belk Complex.
This will be the first meeting between the two teams in the history of both programs. Last season, the Tornados and Golden Bulls had a common opponent in Edward Waters as Brevard defeated the Tigers, 51-6, while Johnson C. Smith won their contest, 27-14. However, neither team plays common opposition this season.
Throughout the first two weeks of the season, the Tornados have featured a run-heavy offense, gaining 558 yards on 123 carries, averaging 4.5 yards per attempt on the ground. When Brevard has taken to the air, the Tornados have completed 66.7 percent of their passing attempts, going eight of 12 for 162 yards in averaging 81.0 yards per game.
The Golden Bulls feature a balanced attack, rushing the ball 105 times during their first three games, while throwing the ball 114 times. On the ground, JCSU has gained 381 yards, averaging 3.6 yards per carry, while completing 55 passes for 791 yards on the season. The Golden Bulls average 263.7 yards per game in the air and will test the Tornados secondary.
Kelvin Jeter leads the Tornados rushing attack through the first two games of the season and is also the South Atlantic Conference leader on the ground, averaging 99.5 yards per game, while averaging 9.5 yards per carry. Jeter also has a season-long 63 yard carry. Fellow freshman Thadus Benton had a strong outing two weeks ago against Gardner-Webb, and is averaging 50.0 yards per game on the ground, while quarterback Michael Crumbaker has picked up four touchdowns on the ground this season as well to lead the team.
Through the air, the Tornados have turned to Eric Watts as the junior has caught four of the eight completions on the season for 93 yards and is among the SAC leaders in averaging 46.5 yards per game. Watts also lines up as the Tornados punter and is key to Brevard being recognized as the best NCAA Division II team in net punting, averaging 44.0 yards per attempt.
Defensively, Salonik Amos has led the Tornados through the first two games with 14 tackles (11 solo) and is among the SAC leaders in pass break-ups. Christian Lumbu leads the Tornados up front on the defensive line, averaging 5.5 tackles per contest, while also recording a half-tackle for loss. Lumbu also has a fumble recovery on the season. Linebacker Trey Jenkins also has reached double-digit tackles on the season with 10, while Rufus Jenkins and Demarcus Allen each have sacks on the season.
Johnson C. Smith was selected to finish 10th overall in the Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association (CIAA) Preseason Poll and fifth among the 13 teams that participate in the CIAA, having finished their 2009 season 3-7 overall, 2-5 in conference play. This season, the Golden Bulls are currently 1-2, having fallen on the road to Elizabeth City State and North Carolina Central, while winning their home opener last week to West Virginia University Institute of Technology, 45-21.
Senior wide receiver Jeremy Franklin was selected to the Preseason All-CIAA team for the third consecutive season, coming off a season in which he led the team with 48 catches for 610 yards and five touchdowns. Through the early going this season, Franklin again has been the most targeted receiver for the Golden Bulls, catching 17 passes for 270 yards and two scores, averaging 90.0 yards per game.
Throwing the ball to Franklin this season is senior quarterback Ryan Carter and he has led the team through the first three games with 777 yards, going 54 of 111 with three interceptions and six touchdowns. When the Golden Bulls turn to the ground, Joshua James and Carter have carried the load, combining for 329 yards of JCSU's 381 yards picked up on the ground.
Michael Coats leads Johnson C. Smith's defense with 19 tackles on the season and one tackle for a loss, while Girard Miller and Darian Talley both have 16 tackles on the season. Miller also has an interception on the season, while four Golden Bulls have recorded sacks on the season.
Kickoff for the game between the Tornados and the Golden Bulls is set for 2 p.m. at the Irwin Belk Complex, located on the campus of Johnson C. Smith University in Charlotte, N.C.

Police say Florida St professor was shot in head
Published: Tuesday, July 22, 2014 at 9:28 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, July 22, 2014 at 9:28 p.m.
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Tallahassee police say a Florida State University professor found at his home after an attack last week was shot in the head before dying at the hospital.
Spokesman David Northway says there are no suspects, and the department continues to ask for tips from the public.
Officers found College of Law professor Dan Markel on Friday morning and believe he was the intended target.
Northway said the department has received many calls to the tip line but would not provide other details of the case. He declined comment when asked if there was evidence of more than one gunshot and if there were signs of forced entry.
CrimeStoppers has increased the reward for information leading to an arrest from $1,000 to $3,000.

'The team is pricing games into four different categories: value (the cheapest), bronze, silver and gold (the most expensive). The games will be selected for each category based on historical demand, the time of year, the day of week, opponents and rivalries. Therefore, a Maple Leafs or weekend game would likely be classified as a "gold game", whereas a less popular opponent, during the week, would be less expensive.'

text: I told you previously how Kelly Preston was going to appear on The Doctors this week. Kelly even tried to have a doctor on the show to bolster her points and Kirstie Alley's organic thing which doesn't work. At one point Kelly addresses Ryan Margot as Dr. Ryan. The thing is though he is not a doctor and had his pharmacy license suspended for 10 years after pleading guilty to fraud and failing a drug test. This is the expert that Kelly wants to convince you that what Kirstie Alley is selling is the greatest thing ever. I guess they could not find someone legitimate to talk up the products. According to Showbiz 411, Margo pleaded guilty to 39 counts of obtaining drugs like Hydrocodone through fraud. The emergency suspension reads: "Upon questioning, Mr. Margot admitted to diverting 46 prescriptions, totaling 4,830 pills…Margot was arrested on August 21, 2001." He was charged with grand theft.I can't believe the show did not check to see who Kelly was touting as an expert. (Thanks Mark)

AT&T Introduces U-verse in San Diego
High Definition Programming and Other Compelling Features
Make AT&T U-verse TV Cooler Than Cable
Through June 30, New Customers May Receive
Two Months of Free TV With 60-Day Money-Back Guarantee
San Diego, California, June 4, 2007
A new world of communications and entertainment is now available to residents in San Diego and surrounding areas. AT&T Inc. (NYSE:T) today announced the launch of AT&T U-verseSM, which utilizes AT&T's new fiber-rich network to offer cutting-edge television and high speed Internet services. AT&T is the only national provider to offer a 100 percent Internet Protocol (IP)-based television service, making U-verse TV "cooler than cable" and one of the most robust and feature-rich services available today.
AT&T U-verse services are initially available in parts of the San Diego-Carlsbad-San Marcos metropolitan statistical area (MSA), including San Diego, Carlsbad, Encinitas, Chula Vista and San Diego County. AT&T will continue to increase availability throughout the area on an ongoing basis.
AT&T U-verse offers customers a combination of next-generation digital television — including access to more than 25 High Definition (HD) channels — and high speed Internet access. The award-winning AT&T U-verse TV includes cutting-edge features that are unmatched in the market, while the new U-verse enabled AT&T Yahoo!® High Speed Internet builds on AT&T's position as the nation's leading provider of broadband DSL.
"We've gotten an enthusiastic response from California customers in other markets where AT&T U-verse is available, and we're excited to offer U-verse services here in San Diego," said Denise Cunningham, AT&T vice president and general manager for the San Diego area. "With unmatched features, service and value, we think San Diegans will agree that U-verse TV is much cooler than cable."
The expansion of AT&T U-verse services in California follows progressive legislation passed by the California Legislature and signed in September 2006 by Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger. U-verse services are also available to households in the San Francisco, San Jose, Los Angeles, Riverside and Ventura County markets.
Beginning today, AT&T U-verse TV will offer San Diego area residents:
- A compelling variety of TV packages with more than 300 channels to choose from, including digital music, local, and premium movie and sports programming.
- More HD programming than the local cable providers. HD technology produces images more than twice as detailed as standard analog TV, delivering rich, realistic video and multi-channel, movie-theater-quality sound. AT&T U-verse TV offers customers access to a lineup of more than 25 HD channels, available in both 720p and 1080i formats, along with HD digital video recording (DVR) capability. With select packages, new customers can receive one year of free access to HD programming ($10 a month thereafter).
- Web and Mobile Remote Access to DVR, which allows U-verse TV and Internet customers to schedule recordings from any Web-connected PC or compatible wireless phone using their AT&T Yahoo!® account. These features are unique to AT&T among local video providers.
- The ability to record up to four programs at once using a DVR receiver, another exclusive feature unmatched in the marketplace.
- Built-in Picture-in-Picture functionality that allows subscribers to "channel surf" on any television without leaving the program they're watching.
- Fast channel-changing, reducing the delay experienced with other digital video services.
- A growing Video on Demand library with one-touch access to movies and events.
- Specially designed set-top boxes, manufactured by Motorola, all of which are HD-capable and include universal remote controls that provide backlit buttons and one-touch access to Video on Demand, DVR, and other services.
- A premium Spanish-language package featuring novelas, movies, news, sports, children's programming, talk shows and more. New customers can receive the package at no charge for the first two months ($10 a month thereafter).
- The ability to search for programs using title or actor's name.
- Easy-to-use parental controls to block live programs, recorded programs or videos by specific channel or ratings.
- Three HD-capable TV receivers — one with a DVR, which allows customers to pause, rewind, replay and record live TV — at no extra charge with most programming packages. (Customers may add more receivers for $5 each a month.)
AT&T plans to add more channels and interactive applications in the future.
Customers can choose from five TV and three Internet packages to customize their entertainment experience. In addition to the popular U300 and U400 packages, AT&T also offers U-family, a market-leading family-friendly programming option. Current AT&T U-verse TV offers start as low as $44 a month, depending on the selected programming and Internet packages (other monthly charges apply).
Now through June 30, qualified new customers can join AT&T U-verse and receive free TV service, including HBO® and Cinemax®, for the first two full months when they choose the U300 or U400 programming package (other monthly charges apply). Thereafter, customers will continue to receive regular recurring monthly discounts on their U-verse package when they subscribe to a bundle of TV and Internet services. Also, AT&T is offering new customers a 60-day money-back guarantee, and customers who order U-verse TV and Internet by phone receive free professional installation.
Three packages of AT&T Yahoo! High Speed Internet U-verse Enabled will be made available to AT&T U-verse customers:
- Elite: Downstream up to 6.0 Mbps, upstream up to 1.0 Mbps.
- Pro: Downstream up to 3.0 Mbps, upstream up to 1.0 Mbps.
- Express: Downstream up to 1.5 Mbps, upstream up to 1.0 Mbps.
All high speed Internet packages offered as part of AT&T U-verse include wireless home-networking at no additional charge, giving users the freedom to access online photos, streaming video, games and other information using a wireless-enabled laptop or other device. Subscribers also receive virtually unlimited e-mail storage and powerful anti-virus and anti-spam software.
The deployment of next-generation video services reflects AT&T's strategy to become customers' preferred communications and entertainment provider and to deliver a video solution through its traditional footprint that provides greater value, flexibility and simplicity than competitors' offerings. AT&T U-verse TV represents a critical new service in the company's video portfolio, which includes AT&T HomezoneSM service and satellite broadcast offerings. AT&T U-verse TV also underscores the company's strategy to deliver integrated services to the three screens that consumers value most: the TV, the PC and the wireless phone.

Salisbury, N.C. - The Brevard College women's basketball team was unable to take down the Conference Carolinas preseason favorite, Barton College, on Friday night as they fell 82-71 in the opening game of the Comfort Suites Classic held at Catawba College in Salisbury, North Carolina. Micheala Watkins led the Tornados with 24 points in the loss. The Tornados fell to 2-4 on the season with the loss.
Brevard traded baskets up and down the floor with the Bulldogs for the first eight minutes of play. The score was tied 15-15 at the 11:48 marker which prompted an 8-0 run by the Barton Bulldogs giving them a 23-15 lead with 10:29 remaining in the first half. After trading a few buckets again the Tornados fell behind as many as 11 points when the Bulldogs hit a three-point basket with 5:33 left in the first half. Brevard was trailing 33-22 when Holli Flippo (Kingston Springs, Tenn.) scored four straight on a jumper from the free throw line in transition, as well as, a pair of free throws. Flippo's run brought Brevard within seven points. Lindsay Brendle (High Point, N.C.) and Candice Fritz (North East, MD) followed suit by combining to go 3-of-4 from the charity stripe to bring the Tornados within four of the Bulldogs.
Brevard and Barton went up and down the floor trading baskets, but the Tornados came within two when Flippo hit a pair of free throws with 1:57 remaining in the game. Barton's Janae Jackson took the ball down the floor and hit a layup in the Bulldogs next trip. The Tornados were able to return-fire when Brianna Worley (Asheville, N.C.) hit a jumper with just four seconds remaining in the first half to bring Brevard within two as time expired.
The Tornados trailed 39-37 as they went into the half. Fritz and Micheala Watkins (Forest City, N.C.) led the Tornados in the first half with 13 points a piece. Watkins was also able to come up with a pair of steals in the first 20 minutes of play. Brevard was 11-for-24 from the field, which was good for 45.8% in the first half of play. They were also able to shoot 14-of-17 from the free throw line, good for 82.4%.
Brevard came within one-point when Fritz hit 1-of-2 free throws in the first 30 seconds of play in the second half. That was the closest the Tornados would come as the free throw sparked a 10-3 Bulldogs run, giving Barton a seven point lead with 16:14 remaining in the game.
Following a pair of free throws at the 15:46 mark by Barton's Jamila Johnson, the Tornados trailed 50-41. The next two times down the floor, Brevard was able to score a pair of baskets when Asheley Watkins (Bostic, N.C.) and Amanda Whitaker (Asheville, N.C.) each were able to hit a layup, bringing the game within five points, 50-45, with 12:40 remaining.
Following the pair of layups, Barton went on an 11-3 run giving the Bulldogs a 13-point advantage at 61-48 with just over eight minutes remaining. Though the Tornados were able to pull back within six points, costly Tornado turnovers and fouls gave Barton an opening to take the game by an 11-point final as they topped Brevard 82-71.
The Bulldogs' Jamila Johnson led all scorers with 27 points. Johnson was 9-for-19 from the field and 9-of-10 from the free throw line. Barton shot 35.5% from the field as they were 27-of-76 in the game. Barton's Nyesha Willie added 14 points of her own for the Bulldogs.
The Tornados had three players in double-figures as each Flippo, Fritz and Watkins were able to drop at least 10 points. Flippo finished with 10, going 2-for-2, including a three-pointer, from the field and 5-for-6 from the charity stripe. Fritz was able to drop 16 points in the loss as she was 5-of-9 from the field and 6-of-8 from the free throw line on the night. Watkins led the Tornados with 24 points, going 9-of-11 from the field. She was 1-for-2 from three-point land and 5-7 from the free throw line. As a team, Brevard shot 52.1% from the field going 25-for-48. However, they did turn the ball over 30 times in the game which aided to the Bulldogs victory. Watkins continued to play strong defense swiping the ball four times from the Bulldogs, while Flippo and Fritz each had a pair of blocks in the game.
The Tornados continue their play in the Comfort Suites Classic tomorrow afternoon when they take on the Lees-McRae Bobcats at 2 p.m. at Goodman Gymnasium on the campus of Catawba College. Fans can follow live statistics by clicking here.

Tell Ryan Chalmers he can't, and there is a good chance he will.
Warn him to lower expectations for himself, and he'll probably raise them even higher.
Tell him he's reaching too far trying to scuba dive despite being wheelchair bound his entire life and he'll show you how long his reach truly extends.
Not just by learning to dive, but mastering it and becoming a certified trainer to show disabled teens across the country there are no limits to their dreams, either.
And if you want to call him crazy for thinking he can wheelchair from Los Angeles to New York City to raise money and awareness for Stay-Focused, the nonprofit that took his hand as a 15-year-old kid from Illinois and held it tight as he grew into a 24-year-old ambassador for teens with physical disabilities, well, by now you probably get the point.
"It's all about setting goals in life, right?" said Chalmers, who was born with spina bifida, an incomplete closure of his spinal column.
Meeting a more-than-ambitious goal is now the test facing Chalmers as he prepares to push off from downtown Los Angeles on Saturday on a heroic wheelchair journey that will take him more than 3,000 miles through 14 states over an estimated 71 days while carrying a singular message for the disabled and abled alike.
"If you set goals for yourself, you can reach them," Chalmers said.
And perhaps prove a point in the process.
"To show people that disability sports are no different than able-bodied sports," Chalmers said. "We put our hearts and souls into everything we do. We work as hard as able-bodied athletes to get to the highest level of sports. So it's a great opportunity to raise awareness for that."
Finally, he hopes to draw attention and raise money for Stay-Focused, a New York City-based organization launched 10 years ago by Roger Muller after a life-altering moment with his brother Bobby.
Bobby Muller had been left paralyzed during the Vietnam War, and as Roger witnessed his brother's joy during a diving trip in Grand Cayman in 2000, Roger immediately understood the power diving could have on people dealing with disabilities.
"I saw freedom in my brother's eyes that day," Muller said.
Stay-Focused began three years later, the goal to offer teens with disabilities the same opportunity to enjoy the independence his brother experienced in the water.
"It's a very, very important point in their lives," Muller said. "Most kids at that age are dealing with self-esteem and awareness issues. This gives them an opportunity to set goals and meet them and understand what they are truly capable of."
Kids like Ryan Chalmers.
"This organization changed my life," Chalmers said.
His and many others.
Over the years, Stay-Focused has funded the travel, lodging and training costs to certify more than 70 disabled teens as scuba divers, including Chalmers, who came to Stay-Focused eight years ago during a painful period of his life.
Always active and pushing the envelope even as a youngster, Chalmers underwent a serious operation when he was 13 that prevented him from participating in sports for more than two years.
"It was a very difficult time for me," Chalmers said.
But a rebirth occurred almost the moment he jumped in the water during his first diving lesson with Stay-Focused. For the first time in his life he didn't need any special equipment to do something able-bodied people could. And in the water, Chalmers wasn't as restricted by the limited use of his legs.
"There was a sense of freedom and independence," he said.
It changed him forever.
The following year Chalmers returned to Stay-Focused, this time as a mentor, a role he continues to serve in and one that continually reminds him how transformational the program can be for disabled teenagers confronting doubt and self-esteem issues.
"You have kids who come through the program who are really shy or they've never left their parents' side or they just don't feel comfortable," said Chalmers, who graduated from the University of Illinois, where he was on the wheelchair basketball and racing teams.
"But the first time they jump in the water you just see their joy and the water going into their masks and the big smile on their faces. It's one of those things that instantly changes people's lives."
Needless to say, there are financial implications. The individual cost for travel, lodging and training is approximately $5,000 per child, a fee absorbed by outside donations with no cost to the families.
To help ensure sustained funding, Stay-Focused is continually raising money and public awareness, a task that ultimately led to Chalmers' notion of wheeling across America two years ago.
By now a world-class athlete - he competed in the 2012 Paralympic Games in London and has raced in countless marathons - Chalmers was in search of a new challenge when Muller suggested a campaign to Push Across America in his racing chair to celebrate the 10-year anniversary of Stay-Focused.
Typical Chalmers, it took him just a few seconds to immediately dive right in.
A few things attracted him to the challenge.
First and foremost, it's something no one has ever done before. And for someone obsessed with pushing through barriers, that appealed to Chalmers.
Secondly, he could help generate attention and money for an organization that transformed his life.
"When you combine all of those factors, I was absolutely all in," Chalmers said.
With the help of professional cyclists, Team Chalmers devised a route that will cross through the middle of America and average 60 miles per day.
He enlisted the assistance of his longtime training staff to whip him into the type of shape needed to deal with the grueling challenge of pushing through deserts, up mountains, and inclement weather.
He won't do it alone as an entire team will travel alongside - some in cars, other on bikes. There is also hope fellow wheelchair racers will join him at various points along the way.
One day away from pushoff, he's worked himself into tremendous shape - both physically and mentally.
And as he closes in on the monumental 71-day task ahead, he's more than ready to get started.
"We've been talking about it for two years," Chalmers said. "So I'm excited to no longer be talking about it, but actually doing it."
The goal is to reach New York City by June 15.
Chalmers isn't sure what he'll be feeling when he finally reaches his destination.
"I've put so much focus and energy on getting started, I really haven't given much thought to what it will be like to finish," Chalmers said.
Here's guessing he'll immediately begin thinking about what he'll do next.

H.R. 2573, Postal Building in Terre Haute, Indiana
Mr. Chairman and Members of the Committee:
I am Gordon S. Creed, Deputy Assistant Commissioner of the Office of Property Disposal, Public Buildings Service, General Services Administration (GSA). I am pleased to have the opportunity to appear before you today to discuss H.R. 2513, a bill that directs the Administrator of General Services to acquire a building located in Terre Haute, Indiana, and for other purposes.
I will briefly discuss GSA's role in the disposal of Govemment-owned property, and how GSA would view the redeployment of this U.S. Postal Service asset under existing statutory authority. Commencing with the Surplus Property Act of 1944, which was administered by the War Assets Administration, and continuing with the enactment of the Federal Property and Administrative Services Act of 1949, GSA's mission has included the promotion of real property disposal consistent with sound asset management practices. GSA promotes asset management in the property disposal program by: Encouraging agencies to release unneeded properties; Recycling unneeded Federal property to agencies that are in need of real property; and Disposing of property no longer needed by any Federal agency.
GSA has more than 50 years of experience in the transfer and disposal of Government real property assets, spanning from simple easements to complex military bases. Taxpayers benefit from the efficient transfer of property to non-Federal public and private interests. Surplus properties that are returned to local tax rolls contribute to economic growth and job creation.
GSA objects to the enactment of H.R. 2513 because no administrative effort was ever made to promote and successfully market the redeployment of the Terre Haute property.
In July 1985, GSA and the Postal Service entered into an Agreement that covers the transfer, exchange, and disposal of real property. The Agreement established procedures for the Postal Service to notify GSA of Postal real property that was no longer needed for its purposes, i.e., excess to its needs. The Agreement covered real property that is excess to the Postal Service for purposes of ownership yet remains encumbered by existing tenant agreements.
In recent discussions with Postal Service officials I have learned there is no need for the Postal Service to retain ownership of the Terra Haute property. I further understand that there are outleases issued by the Postal Service that need to be honored in any potential reuse of the property. GSA leases account for 13,250 square feet of the building.
I note that GSA successfully solved this very same situation in 1998 when it disposed of the I I story Federal Building to the City of Philadelphia. Although this facility was excess to the needs of the GSA, there was a continuing need to provide space for the military recruitment and induction center located on two floors of the building. After acquiring the property, the City of Philadelphia entered into an exchange transaction with the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts so that the Academy could gain additional space in which to accommodate its growing need for academic and gallery space. It is important to note, this disposal was favorably reviewed by this subcommittee.
Another example of this type of successful redeployment of unneeded Government owned property is the former Federal Office Building in Asheville North Carolina known as Grove Arcade. In 1997, this property was conveyed to the City of Asheville without cost for use as a historic monument. Section 203(K)(3) of the Federal Property Act authorizes this type of conveyance and, in addition, allows for the transferee to generate income in operating the property. Thus, a revenue stream for repair, rehabilitation, restoration, and maintenance of the property remains an option should the City of Asheville seek to outlease any available vacant space in this building.
Is the Terre Haute property a potential historic monument? While the Advisory Board on National Parks, Historic Sites, Buildings and Monuments established by section 463 of Title 16 makes the recommendation over the suitability of property as a historic monument, clearly the property's age, design and history seem to lean in that direction. Successful reuse of the Postal Service property appears to be the goal of the legislation and to that end, GSA stands available to assist the Postal Service in marketing this property.
Because of the proximity of the Terre Haute Building to the Indiana State University, it is also possible that an application could be submitted to the Department of Education for public educational use for the property. Section 203(k)(1) of the Federal Property Act allows for the conveyance of surplus real property for public educational use. Finally, I note that GSA's experience and brand name connote a quality in the real estate market often sought by developers who seek trophy properties for their portfolio. This could, in fact, be one of those desired properties.
Mr. Chairman, this concludes my statement, I will be pleased to respond to any questions you or the other members of the subcommittee may wish to ask.

Box Score-2
CLERMONT, Fla. – The Saint Leo softball team (14-10) took a pair of non-conference from Merrimack College (1-5) and Post University (0-3), Tuesday evening from the National Training Complex in Clermont, Fla. The Lions took the opening contest against Merrimack 10-0 in five innings, before upending Post University 9-0 in the backend of the doubleheader in six innings.
In the doubleheader, the Lions combined for 21 hits and 19 runs, including 12 extra-base hits. Individually, Amber Martyn led the Lions' offensive charge going 5-for-6 with three RBI. Elysha Agen went 4-for-6 with four runs scored and Tiffinee Harvey belted her fourth home run of the season in a 4-for-7 effort. Jaime Walker and Sarah Boyd each collected two hits, including a pair of home runs by Boyd. Four others also collected base hits, as each Lions' starter had at least one hit.
In game one, the Lions broke out to a 2-0 lead, as Yates connected on an RBI double to centerfield scoring Agen from third. Martyn followed with an RBI single to plate the Lions' second run. After a scoreless second inning, Saint Leo broke the game wide open with a four-run third inning. Harvey connected on an RBI double to begin the frame, which was later followed by a three-run blast by Boyd to put Saint Leo up 6-0.
The Green & Gold continued to mash the ball with their second four-run inning of the game in the fourth inning. Agen started the four-run, two-out rally with a single through the right side. Castillo and Harvey posted back-to-back RBI singles and Martyn capped the inning with a two-RBI single scoring Yates and Harvey.
Ashton Whidden iced the game by retiring the Warrior's side, solidifying the Lions 14th-win. Whidden improved to 9-4 on the season, scattering six hits over 5.0 innings pitched. The shutout marks the first time the Lions have blanked their opponents since shutting out Webber on February 8th.
The offense continued to pop for the Lions in game two, as they put up their third, four-run performance of the day in the first inning against Post. The big blow came from Boyd as she blasted her first grand slam as a Lion.
Harvey continued the power display in the fourth inning, blasting her third home run of the season to increase the Lions lead to 5-0.
Harvey tripled in the fifth inning and was brought home by Yates' sacrifice play to increase the score yet again. The squad used a three-run, four-hit sixth inning to close up the contest, as four consecutive doubles punched the lead to a commanding 9-0 advantage.
Lions' starter Jaime Walker put the Eagles' lineup down in order in the bottom of the sixth to give the SLU back-to-back shutouts. The Lions have now won four-consecutive games and 11 out of their last 13.
Saint Leo returns to the field on Friday, March 12 when they take on UNC-Pembroke at the Francis Marion Tournament in Florence, S.C. First pitch is scheduled for 3:00 p.m.

Jeffrey Hubbard was found guilty yesterday of homicide and other counts related to the death of Usher's former 11 year old stepson Kile Glover who was killed in a jet skiing accident. Hubbard was found guilty of homicide by vessel, serious injury by vessel and other misdemeanor boating charges, including reckless operation of a vessel, unlawful operation of a personal watercraft and a boat-traffic violation for operating at more than idle speed within 100 feet of a person in the water.
Glover and a 15 year old girl had been floating in inner tubes when hit by Hubbard. Kile spent the next few days in a hospital on life support before being declared dead. Hubbard will be sentenced next month.

This week's power rankings results were not too positive for FC Dallas following a loss to Portland on the road. All but one of the weekly rankings moved the team down at least one spot, but the team stil remains in everyone's top five. FC Dallas has a chance to bounce back with a home match Saturday against Sporting KC.
Soccer America moved Portland to the top, dropping FC Dallas one spot to number three.
Even by the stratospheric standards of Jeld-Wen Field, the roars and celebrations that saluted Nagbe's strike in the 53rd minute skewed off the scale. Rival keepers Donovan Ricketts and Raul Fernandez each had seven saves and FCD, even without Panama striker Blas Perez, could well have departed with a tie. This game showcased the league nicely to an ESPN audience that had just seen Brazil thump Japan in the Confederations Cup.
Yahoo Sports left FC Dallas at number two and had some encouraging words:
They're atop the overall league standings and they won't always be without their key front man. Dallas are going to be just fine.
FC Dallas dropped just one spot to #3 according to mlssoccer.com:
Lost, and were outclassed. But thanks to another spectacular performance from Raúl Fernández, they had a legit chance at a point up until the final whistle. Very impressive, especially considering they were without all three of their target forwards.
ESPN FC dropped FCD two spots to number five after the loss:
Injury, international duty and a family emergency for Kenny Cooper all conspired to rob FC Dallas of any striking threat, yet Schellas Hyndman's side still made a game of it in Portland only to fall 1-0. Raul Fernandez put on a goalkeeping clinic.
ProSoccerTalk switched FC Dallas and Portland, moving FCD to number two:.
The team has three top-shelf strikers, but circumstance conspired to keep all three off the field for most of the 1-0 loss to Portland.

The snake is a motif which has been used throughout history to represent wisdom, regeneration and completion as well as a number of other associations. When in a coiled position, such as this example, the symbolism takes on cosmic proportions.
During the Victorian an Edwardian periods the snake ring was a fashionable romantic image for eternal love. Here we see a sensuous triple coiled example rendered in 18k yellow gold with incised eyes and a head studded with a graduated series of two (2) old European and three (3) old single cut diamonds with an estimated total of .23 carats. Generously proportioned, the ring displays well on the hand and feels silken as only gently and ceaselessly caressed gold can.
Date: 1902.

Commentator Paid By Film Industry Writes Fox News Op-Ed Shilling For Film Industry
Blog ››› ››› SIMON MALOY
FoxNews.com featured an op-ed today by Colin Hanna, head of the conservative group Let Freedom Ring, pushing federal lawmakers to "address quickly and responsibly" the threat facing the film industry from "intellectual property pirates." This is important, according to Hanna, because "Hollywood sets the tone for the world for the industry while adding billions to the U.S. economy annually. Everyone wants to see American movies and everyone, it seems, wants to be in the movie business -- even if they have to break the law as the price of entry."
Hanna's over-the-top lobbying for Hollywood and regulatory action that favors the film industry is likely owed to the fact that the Motion Picture Association of America has paid Hanna to do exactly that -- a fact that Fox News neglected to disclose.
The MPAA's 2011 tax disclosure form (the most recent available) shows a $10,000 payment to Let Freedom Ring for the purpose of "promot[ing] film industry."
Let Freedom Ring received that grant just as the MPAA and major media companies were gearing up to push the controversial Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) and PROTECT IP Act (PIPA) through Congress. Hanna wrote an op-ed in December 2011 advocating SOPA's passage, and Let Freedom Ring launched an online petition backing SOPA and PIPA as "important pieces of legislation that are consistent with the Founders' view that property rights are important, even vital to America's success."
The campaign failed, and SOPA and PIPA were famously brought down through a combination of grassroots activism and opposition from big-name online entities like Google and Reddit. That failure left a bad taste in Hanna's mouth. His March 7 op-ed took an oblique and supremely hypocritical dig at the groups that killed SOPA and PIPA:
Congress has tried to address this issue before, but pressure campaigns relying on false information and hysterical allegations of government over-reach -- perhaps funded by entities who do not believe that someone else's intellectual property rights should be a barrier to their ability to make money -- dissuaded legislators from taking action. That must not be allowed to happen again. [emphasis added]
Yeah, we can't have outside actors funded by interested parties attempting to influence legislators on intellectual property issues. That'd be outrageous.

ordered a Marcelo Garcia Lucky Gi last night. when I get it I will put some pics up
If you need a friend, get a dog !
let us know what it's like I've heard mixed reviews on the Lucky gi
Plus I think it gives people a license to smash you, and I haven't got the skills to carry it off!! (yet)
New Tatami gi. Navy Pearl Weave.
The collar seems to be darker than the rest. I wonder if that would be a problem in comp.
Other than that, it looks good.
Shwingggg! Very nice looking gi!
The Part Time Grappler - Just Google BJJ / Grappling Tips and you'll find me
Hi guys,
Further to the above, I bribed Tatami fightwear to let me try their two newest gis:
The Zero G black and the new navy-coloured pearl weave competition gi.
Full detailed review here: http://meerkat69.blogspot.com/2010/0...o-g-black.html
1. The new navy pearl weave is the first of a new line of pearl weaves that will replace their current line-up of goldweave 'competition' uniforms. At £70, the pearl weaves are more expensive than the older range, but much better quality.
2. Both gis have the same cut (see my previous review of the white Zero G: http://meerkat69.blogspot.com/2010/0...k-eagle-v.html)
so don't expect much shrinkage and both are cut fairly large compared to most other brands. However...
3. The trousers are very different. The navy trousers are made from canvas, which is heavier and thicker, but does not shrink compared to the Zero G trousers which are thinner, made from twill and prone to shrinkage. If you have long legs I recommend buying the next size up in just the trousers (for the Zero G).
4. Both gis are very light, the Zero G just edging it and I found them to be very comfortable to wear even in the recent hot weather. I think they are both very close to being as good as my Vulkans, so for the price i would consider either gi to be a very good purchase considering the level of quality.
Some pics...
Oh yeah, Tatami have kindly offered to give readers a 5% discount on all their products simply by using the code: MEERKATSU5.
Gi looks good but I don't personally like the patches on them - the chinese symbols in particular.
Does anyone know any reputable
stockists of bull terrier gis ? Budovideos are sold out
Yeah I've been critical of the Tao symbols too, and to be fair they are much reduced in size in these two new models. Set agains the navy or black fabric, they don;t stand out too much.
I think the navy patches could have been re-designed, they are still the same ones as per the older goldweave models.
I love the Zero G patches, I think they are really funky and different from most other brands.
Overall though, for £65-£70, you will get a really good quality, well thought out, smart uniform whichever model you choose.
I've rolled in my navy gi non-stop since getting it. Fast becoming one of my fave gis (and I have a lot of gis!)
The navy gi looks cool but imo the patches make the gi look cheap
ICON Jiu Jitsu
The only bars i go to are Arm Bars, Knee Bars and a Mars Bar
