Hit The Ground Running is an article series by Jay "Viscant' Snyder.
We missed a week last week so this week's topic is kind of a double topic to make up for it. This week we're going to talk about both matchups and improving yourself through online play.
The first phase of a new game is general exploration where we try to get a rough idea about what each of the characters can do, their general strengths and weaknesses, any special tools that stand out. Partly because this game had multiple open beta tests and partly because our community is just getting really good at this stuff, we're mostly done with this phase of the game. We have a rough idea about what all the characters can do and all of them seem pretty strong on paper.
Tools seem so evenly distributed that if you asked me to tier the game as of early March I really couldn't give you an answer. The 2 characters most people had their eye on in the pre-release as far as possibly being disadvantaged were Zangief and Laura. But right now Snake Eyez has yet to lose a post-release tournament with Zangief, stomping everyone in his path. And Laura is the winner of the first CPT event with Mister Crimson winning Cannes Winter Clash in impressive fashion. So for now they seem fine to me. As of now, no character really stands out as having a noticeably weak tool set.
The next phase of the game is looking at matchups. At this point thinking about matchups will help us understand the overall balance and tenor of the game and it's the easiest way to start improving as a player.
Thinking about matchups on an individual level is also an easy way to avoid an early roadblock that players typically run into in a new game. You've worked hard in training mode to get your character's combos down. You're getting better at choosing the right normal for each situation and your footsie game is improving. You've developed some good setups off common openings, like off your main bread and butter combo or off a crush counter sweep. A lot of players get stuck here, not really knowing what to do next and how to make that next leap forward.
To start with, I'll break down some matches and I'll use myself and some of my matches as an example here since I know what I was thinking even if the answer was "not much". At this point in the game, I like to start by focusing on my worst matchups first. I get to see results quicker this way and it's easier to stay motivated. If a match has stuck out in my head as being obviously rough for me within the first month or two, I've probably been losing that match so consistently that just getting over that hurdle, just improving in this one match will make my overall experience so much better. So far for my current main character (Chun-Li) that matchup is Nash. I struggle against him online, I lose the matchup in tournament. The match just isn't working for me right now.
In order to improve in the match, you have to first understand what you're doing wrong and that involves looking at videos of matches you've lost. Let's break down some matches. Here's a recent example from the losers semis of last week's San Diego weekly of me vs. Genghis, a strong player who I have 15 years of history with, ever since the Marvel 2 days.
Watch live video from LanDiego on www.twitch.tv
Round 1 starts with a poking exchange and a couple of punishes on his moonsaults. My read going into this match is that really likes setting that up so I make a point of checking him on those early in round 1. That's about all that goes right for me in round 1, I miss a few whiff punishes and the commentators (accurately) call me out for going fishing with low strong trying to anticipate a sonic boom. The story of the round is me not being able to get to the right range. I walk forward, he dashes back and counter pokes. Easy win for Genghis.
Second round is almost all one big scramble situation. Genghis gives me a gift at 20:30; once he has sonic boom range set up, he jumps IN instead of holding range, letting me anti-air him and take the lead. At 20:40 I'm slow to react to EX moonsault and at 20:55 I'm slow to react to v-trigger. As the commentators note, Genghis gives me a second gift in this round by not closing me out with critical art when he has the chance. I close him out with my own.
I make a mistake at the start of round 3 by starting with kikoken. He dashes away and absorbs it, a double negative as I got him one step closer to v-trigger AND gave up space. At 21:28 he gets big damage on the raw critical art through a kikoken. Jump back jab at 21:38 gets Genghis right back to the range he wants to be at. I spend v-trigger to get pressure going again but at 21:49 he uses v-reversal to get away and I'm just chasing ineffectively. Note that there are no mixups here, I'm just hitting buttons and trying to not let him get away. This is the sign of a player without a plan, I'm just hoping something goes right for me and not setting him up for anything. At 22:13 I have a bad reaction to v-trigger and take it right to the face. I basically lost this game 3 rounds to 0 since I didn't deserve the second round.
Game 2, first round, Genghis has accurately assessed that I'm having a serious problem with the sonic boom. 22:48 I try to low strong under and get hit, it's very difficult to low strong under a slow sonic boom. 22:51 I low strong under and get thrown for it. Could have been worse for me, so that's almost a gift. 22:58 he checks me with a forward sonic scythe and I get nothing off of it. 23:17 I show a DIFFERENT bad reaction to sonic boom as I jump over it and eat EX sonic scythe. 23:29, Genghis commits fully to the sonic boom strategy and just keeps pumping them out until I make a smart decision. None is forthcoming. A brief hope for me at 23:40 but he smartly blocks the meaty back fierce and closes me out with a sobat.
Second round I get air legs to connect and get pressure going finally. Good blocks by Genghis on all the frame traps. Of course there's no reason for him to feel frame trapped. Have you noticed that I haven't thrown him or even really tried to throw him once in this set so far? I just did. There's no reason for him to stand up and tech if he doesn't have any reason to believe a throw is coming. 24:11 is my first smart jump against a sonic boom all set and I get corner pressure out of it. I mistime my meaty setup and put myself IN the corner. That's not the worst mistake in the world since he was mashing and if my timing was on I would have got a juicy combo out of it so I'm not TOO broken up about it, just an execution error at an unfortunate time. 24:40 commentators call me out on fishing for low strong again. This time I'm hunting for a dash or to counter poke low forward but it's still a mistake. Rest of the round is me chasing him ineffectively. 25:00 I don't punish his v-trigger even though it's a poor activation. I have to get SOMETHING there, I get nothing and go back to chasing with no plan. I just can't get him to stop backing up and since I'm so afraid of sonic boom I'm just jumping for no reason, dashing for no reason, basically a total lack of discipline. At this point I'm broken; it's a 3 out of 5 set so I switch to Vega, I just don't know what to do in this match.
Obviously at this point I know I have a problem so let's try to solve the problem so that was a little mini goal of mine this past week. Online play is SF5's biggest strength and the easiest way to work on matchups. I ran into 40Flashkick, a Nash player, online in ranked and we decided to play a short FT5 set just for fun and to work on the match a bit. Here are a couple of my losses from the set.
First round of this match goes mostly the way I want it to. After the first fireball exchange of the round, it turns into a scramble situation which I win. I hold momentum until about 1:03 when sonic boom pressure starts but at this point I'm ahead in life roughly 75% to 20-25% so zoning is off the table for him and he comes in to me. The whole round plays like an offensive round, which is good for me and I take it comfortably.
Second round is different. Match is fought at Nash's dash range and slightly extended. The round is even until about 2:00 when he first starts working in sonic boom range. This shuts my offense down a bit and I stop attacking. This lets him dash in and out while I start thinking about fireballs. He gets a dash in throw, then a dash in counter hit strong because now that the sonic boom is in my head, I'm looking for it. I guess with low strong into v-trigger, going on motion and when I miss that, that's pretty much the round. He closes me out with an anti-air v-trigger juggle.
Round 3 starts by him checking me with the forward sonic scythe. This is either the second or third game in our set and I've started almost every round holding forward so he's adjusting to me here. The next 30 in game seconds are fought at his pace and at his range, letting him get the dash in and dash out pressure that won him the second round. I cooperate by backing up voluntarily and throw a kikoken at 2:45 which does nothing and actually costs me space. The tide turns at 3:06 when a guess air legs gets me a knockdown and lets me start my game. I have a chance to close out the game at 3:23 but I'm on autopilot and choose the wrong combo. This is a fatal mistake and he closes out the game immediately after with an EX moonsault that I'm late anti-airing.
This is either the fifth or sixth match in the set so 40 starts the first round with sonic boom pressure since he's figured out that I'm not dealing with this range well and it works, immediately netting him a sweep, then a combo and a ~50% lead. At 0:56 I get lucky with a crush counter sweep and get my game started, first with a safe jump setup, then air legs pressure. I make an execution error at 1:01, missing air legs and ending my short run of pressure. Round closes with a v-trigger that I don't see coming.
Second round starts better for me. I guess right on forward sonic scythe as his opener and go to work. By the time he gets to play at 1:42 I'm already ahead big so by the time he gets to his range and gets sonic boom pressure going at 1:51 I have a commanding lead. Which I almost squander. At 1:53 I guess with low strong to get under the sonic boom which isn't even remotely safe. I'm lucky that wasn't punished. At 1:56 I guess low strong AGAIN and get punished for it. You can tell I'm not reacting to sonic boom I'm reacting to motion at ranges where I EXPECT a sonic boom. At 2:00 my lead is gone. I jab after the throw which is a big no-no in the Nash matchup but I get away with it. I don't even get a combo for taking such a big risk, just a jab. Same mistake at 2;08, hitting jab there was a bad decision, but I get away with it, get the hit and no followup. I close it out at 2:35 with a poke. So even though I start this round off up ~75%, I need to get lucky repeatedly to win the round once he got his range established.
Round 3 starts with the forward sonic scythe. I block it but get nothing out of it; I was considering punishing with critical art, then thought "nah I'll just get EX legs" and split the difference and got nothing. Brilliant. Round is going well in my favor up until 3:12 when the first sonic boom comes out. I react poorly and jump, giving him the chance to get a big combo. Scramble situation leads to crush counter sweep and he finishes with a really nice empty jump setup into low into critical art which kills.
So let's review here. I'm having a lot of trouble anti-airing. In the first round against Genghis I did a good job because I was looking for it, but if it's not in the forefront of my mind, I'm not doing it. I'm reacting poorly to v-trigger and EX moonsault for the same reasons. A little bit of training mode shows that I can react to all of these situations with the same button, the standing short. In the case of v-trigger activation I could jump towards him and minimize my loss if I'm really struggling but I want to concentrate on standing short instead since it'll beat all of the v-trigger options cleanly and improving my reactions and comfort with this button will close multiple holes.
It seems that I'm struggling mightily with the sonic boom but that's not exactly right. I struggle with sonic boom but that's a symptom of the problem, not the problem itself. I'm losing to that range specifically. When I'm all the way in and pressuring with air lightning legs I'm doing OK. When I'm all the way out and I can jump or v-skill in safely I'm also OK. It's that range slightly outside of sweep range where he could sonic boom but he could also check me with low forward or dash in that I'm just clueless in.
And what troubles me the most is that in rounds that I either win or play well in, I feel like I'm playing well because the other person is making a bad decision and giving up their positional advantage. I'm stuck in a position where I don't know how to get in, then the Nash player jumps in and I don't have to think about it anymore. Or they moonsault in, which is functionally the same. This is a sign that the match will get worse for me over time if I don't act now because just like I'm working on the match, other people are working hard on matchups too.
So the very first move of the match, I start with a forward sonic scythe because I've been having trouble with this move. Instead of going for a quick legs punish, Raigunned goes for pressure instead. Even though nothing he gets is guaranteed, I've basically lost my turn for 8 game seconds when I can finally get started again. Worth thinking about. From this point up until 1:10 I'm concentrating on creating range, throwing sonic booms and anti-airing to the best of my ability and it's working out, I have a big lead. At 1:10 though, he gets v-trigger started and the pressure's on. He closes the round out at 1:30 with super which I didn't even notice him building. This is interesting, there were a couple opportunities for him to spend meter earlier in the round but he was deliberately saving for super and he takes the round. Interesting.
Round 2 this time I don't start with sonic scythe, I just go right to creating space with sonic booms. At 2:03 Raigunned makes the same mistake I usually make in this match, an unsafe low strong. Seems common in this match. At 2:39, I get dash into throw and it works, which again is something that works on me. Once I telegraphed how I was going to play the match, leaning heavily on sonic booms and step back buttons, this other Chun-Li started playing like me down to making the same mistakes I'm making. Though clearly I have a personal problem playing at this range, it seems that this problem is possibly universal to the matchup.
Round 3 I start with the same setup I started round 1 with, whiff low forward into forward sonic scythe. I'm actually disappointed he got hit, I wanted him to block it and get pressure on me just to see if he had a secondary pressure pattern. Oh well. Back to sonic booms which he critical arts through at 3:18. He'd been sitting on it for most of the round and I should have been more cognizant of that. 3:32 he gets a throw, then immediately gets a crush counter after that when I stood up to tech a second throw and he takes it.
So what did we learn here, other than the obvious, that I'm not a good Nash player? Meter is really important in this match and I throw it away. Raigunned played specifically to hoard meter and it worked out well for him. This is something I'm going to have to consider. I also learned how few answers Nash has to Chun's pressure. I mean, it's something I already knew from playing the other side, but it's one thing to know that the other person has no options and another to know exactly how it feels to have no answer besides blocking for 5 seconds. More importantly though we learned that other Chuns have the same trouble areas that my Chun has.
One of the best things about SF5's online is the Capcom Fighters Network and the replay system. You can follow any player in the world, watch their replays and see how they deal with situations that give you trouble. So this situation that I'm in right now, CFN is perfect for that. Time to load it up and look at what the best Chun-Li players in the world do about this range. What can I learn from the best?
This match is Ricki Ortiz vs. GeeGee. Ricki has been a top player at almost all SF and SF related games since CvS1 and this game seems like it's going to fit her style really well. Since we play the same character I make a point of viewing her replays so she's a natural choice to get some answers from.
Ricki starts out round 1 basically going berserk to avoid the trouble range. Her first four advances are 99 second v-skill to try and get in, dash up towards strong and then 2 straight v-skills from range trying to anticipate a sonic boom and get started. Pretty dramatic switch from how Ricki normally plays. She's telegraphed that her solution to the trouble range is to take risks to get out of it and never let Nash get started. It works and at 0:50 Nash is in the corner and she's in. GeeGee jumps out of the corner and is on the run to try and establish range and Ricki cooperates by jumping into EX sonic scythe. Interesting to note at 1:01 Ricki makes the same mistake all other Chuns so far make, a whiffed guess low strong. At 1:03, Ricki gets anti-aired going for guess v-skill again, but the punish doesn't do much and she's in again at 1:05. Great dash in whiff punish at 1:20, now Ricki has the corner and she sets up an empty jump low, but GeeGee makes a good block and gets v-trigger to get back in the round. Ricki takes a big chance at 1:38 with v-skill and gets away with it but gets caught on a double dash (!) at 1:44 to lose the round.
Round 2 starts out similarly with Ricki rushing hard. GeeGee counters the first v-skill with EX sonic scythe, but Ricki gets in with it at 2:07 and gets started. Ricki controls with pressure until an execution error at 2:16 and GeeGee finally gets to set up with sonic booms. He gives away ground by going for moonsault, kind of a big error and Ricki puts him right back into the corner. Another big mistake not finishing his combo at 2:35. Might not have killed but he really wanted that. Ricki closes out with v-trigger.
Another show of aggression to start round 3 by Ricki as she follows a kikoken with a double dash and towards strong. It pays off since she gets the corner. Doesn't get much out of it. At 3:18 another guess low strong by Ricki and at 3:20 a misplaced option select low forward into EX legs. It shows Ricki is taking some chances in footsies here. Another guess v-skill at 3:33 and another guess low strong into v-trigger at 3:42. Ricki follows with a sweet counterhit towards roundhouse set up and gets a big combo and closes soon after.
So what did we learn from this match? Ricki recognizes the same trouble area of the match that other Chun-Li players do but Ricki's way of solving it in this match was just overwhelming offense. She's a cautious footsie oriented player usually but we saw a whole lot of shows of open aggression bordering on recklessness in this game. At least 10 different "no reason" v-skills, more than a few double dashes. Non-stop pressure. But you know what we didn't see towards the latter half of this match? Sonic booms. I count exactly 5 after the 2:20 mark with 2 of them coming in one string in a row. Ricki's aggression made GeeGee afraid to sit in the trouble range. So yeah it was a close match and yeah you can make the argument that Ricki was on borrowed time in the second round but the plan worked! Very interesting game. Let's look at a different take.
This is Majorboy, a top Japanese Chun-Li player vs. Gamerbee who you may have heard of. To start the round Majorboy takes a noticeably less aggressive posture than Ricki did at the beginning but turns on the offense at 0:43. Note the dropped combo here. Instead of finishing with legs, Majorboy tried the forward spinning bird kick ender. Majorboy continues the aggression at 0:49 with dash in throw, then a naked jumpin that he gets away with and guess low strong into v-trigger at 0:57 that goes through. Guess v-skill at 1:05 and a dashin reset at 1:08 to take the round.
Second round starts out more of the same, Majorboy taking risks in the midrange, even landing a rare crush counter roundhouse at 1:27. Execution error at 1:30 lets Gamerbee off the hook and he gets back to his range. The aggression that Majorboy showed early isn't letting Gamerbee throw sonic booms though; at this point he's counting on Majorboy coming in so he's looking to counter. Interesting. Once full screen is established at 1:54, he begins throwing them though. Gamerbee's read pays off at 2:10 when Majorboy walks into a backfist and eats a massive combo for it. That basically seals the round.
Third rounds looks a little more standard but once Gamerbee throws a second sonic boom, Majorboy punishes him with the critical art. Majorboy had that one stocked for awhile and he baited Gamerbee with that by acting submissive in that trouble range. Execution error at 3:02 lets Gamerbee out of the corner and the backfist into v-trigger nets massive damage again. At 3:11 Majorboy uses EX spinning bird kick; there's no use saving meter anymore, he figures he can't get another critical art so why not. Sweet corpse hop setup at 3:25 and Majorboy takes it.
So what have I learned about this match that I can use going forward? The first thing is that in all replays studied, all other Chuns I've looked at have the same problem with that range but had different answers. Raigunned's answer was stocking meter; it's OK to be in the midrange if you have the meter to make Nash pay for it. Meter by itself can discourage passive play and can open up midrange pokes for Chun-Li that Nash normally doesn't have to worry about. Ricki's answer was just non-stop violence; if you can convince the Nash player that you're going to be wild and that he's going to need to anti-air you every time and stop your dashins every time, then sonic booms and hanging out in the mid-range don't seem to be such a good idea. Majorboy's answer was a little bit in between, he's saving meter and taking risks, but he's taking more poke related risks and not as many movement related risks.
But watching this showed me that I need to be using v-skill more. I need to be saving my meter. I blow my meter on EX spinning bird kicks and finish combos with EX legs because I'm too afraid to finish combos with forward spinning bird kicks. I'm too willing to play this match at kikoken and standing fierce range when that's a range that you notice these players specifically avoided unless they had meter. I need to get into mixup range. I need to throw more. You notice in my replays I almost never throw but in the other ones, the throw is a bigger part of the mixup game? This is a big part of why my frame traps didn't work but theirs did.
Have we solved the matchup? Does Chun beat Nash now? No on the first and probably no on the second as well. Feeling like you've got a matchup down in the first month probably means that you're being overconfident and overlooking something. But this is progress. Thanks to online play and the CFN, I learned a lot and I'm better now than I was last week and one step closer to achieving my goals. That's a good week of practice right there.
That's all for this week. Next week with Final Round on the horizon, we're going to talk about tournament preparation. See you then!

Riding the franchising jetstream on a trail of ink
founders Narbeh Ghazalian and Mike Shudlik first planted the
Printwells' flag four years ago, both admit they weren't exactly
seasoned veterans of the franchising game."We had both just graduated
from university and it was a school project, to make a long story
short," says Mr. Shudlike, the company's president. Printwells
specializes in refilling old and empty inkjet cartridges from kiosks
located in shopping malls."It looked good on paper, and we decided to
start it up."And start it up they did. After opening their first
location at the St. Laurent shopping centre and running it for a year
they took their show on the road, opening franchises in Quebec and
Ontario. The company now boasts 11 locations in Montreal and Ottawa, is
opening a new location this week in Toronto, and both executives say
the company hopes to hit 20 by year's end.Despite their success,
however, both say the exercise of franchising is no rose garden,
especially considering their relative inexperience. Franchising, say
the experts, isn't just about getting as many stores out there as
possible – although that's certainly a big part, especially in
retail."The lack of experience me and Mike had from day one," was the
most difficult thing in expanding the business, says Mr. Ghazalian,
along with educating people that ink-cartridge refilling as a service
even exists. "We both have marketing degrees from the University of
Ottawa, however the lack of real experience in franchising was the most
difficult part of our operation."I feel we almost had to work twice as
hard to expand successfully."They had to learn their lessons the hard
way, says Mr. Ghazalian, even though both have entrepreneurial parents
who mentored them along the way. Seeing the results, however, you
wouldn't know it: Six Printwells' kiosk-style stores have popped up in
Ottawa-Hull shopping centres in the past few months.Printwells
franchises out full turnkey units, each with an initial cost of around
$110,000 to $130,000. Each kiosk location is expected to take 18 to 24
months to pay for itself. Everything from initial store setup to
inventory to training is done in-house by the company – they have an
in-house training facility at the nine-employee corporate office in
Ottawa, where franchisees are required to complete a two-week training
course before opening.From the corporate office the company also
handles all distribution, research and development, and taxation and
financial issues.Steve Rosen, CEO of FranNet, a franchise consulting
organization with offices in Ottawa, says devising a system like this
before expansion is essential for any company considering launching a
franchise operation."If I'm going to write you a check every week for a
royalty fee, if I'm a franchisee I have to feel I'm getting value for
my dollars," says Mr. Rosen. This is what's referred to as a
franchise's value proposition, he says."I'm not just going to write a
check because I signed a contract five years ago. So the good
franchises are the ones who give value to their franchisees."He names
big outlets like McDonald's as the most obvious examples of successful
franchising operations, and says the franchises who most often fail
usually exercise little self-discipline and don't stick to their plan.
"If you look back historically," he says, "there have been many
franchisors who have failed because they didn't have the discipline to
turn down the one person who says 'I love your concept, and I want to
do one over here, here's a cheque."But you need discipline to say
'Strategically, that's not a good fit right now.'"In other words,
controlled growth in strategic areas is key. He says Printwells – which
just became a member of FranNet – is right on the money. It has focused
on just two urban centres (now three with the new Toronto store) to get
the most bang for its advertising buck, especially considering the
relatively obscure product."It's a very niche market, and there's not
too many people doing it right now," says Mr. Shudlik, adding that the
company has a five-year plan to expand to 50 to 60 stores across the
country, all the way out to Vancouver."You know what?" he says. "My
parents had always told me this. Once you're into something and very
passionate about it, and you see the light at the end of the tunnel,
it's almost like a disease. You just want to keep striving, opening
locations, and keep moving."It's addictive, definitely."

Beta is a measure of the market risk or volatility of investing in a stock. It helps investors pick stocks that fall in their risk comfort zone.
But what does it really tell you about a stock and what mixed signals do investors get when three different Web sites report three different betas for the same stock?

The last part of than question came from a reader, Dan R., who wondered why three Web sites gave him three different answers to the same question about a stock\u0092s beta and one answer was apparently much different from the other two.

Dan\u0092s Question
Let\u0092s deal with Dan\u0092s question first, and then talk about what a beta really tells us. First, a refresher on what a beta is.
Beta is a score that measures a stock\u0092s volatility or risk against the rest of the market. It is calculated using regression analysis.

The market, which is usually the S&P 500 Index, is given a beta of 1. If the stock is more volatile than the market its beta will be more than 1 and if it is less volatile than the market, its beta will be less than 1.

For example, a stock with a beta of 0.8 would be expected to return 80 percent as much as the overall market. A stock with a beta of 1.2 would move 20 percent more than the overall market.

Dan in his e-mail asked if there were more than one way to calculate betas. Unfortunately, the answer is yes, there is.

One of the variables in the beta calculation is how far back you go with the calculation. Some calculations are based on three years of data, while others are based on five years of numbers.

Variables
These variables and others can make a difference in the beta that is reported.
Most sites don\u0092t provide information on how many of their numbers were calculated \u0096 many sites buy the data from vendors.

Your best bet is to stick with names you know and trust and if you want to compare companies, use the same Web site, since the numbers should be consistent that way.

Beta\u0092s Story
What does beta really tell investors? This is sometimes lost in the noise of the market.
One thing it doesn\u0092t tell us is what the beta will be next year. The calculations are strictly historical and say nothing about what the company will do in the future.

Beta is useful in the short-term for measuring the risk of the stock\u0092s price fluctuating in a manner that we may not be comfortable with.

Beta tells us how the stock reacts to market-wide or systemic conditions, but tells us nothing about the company\u0092s strengths or weaknesses within its own industry.

For example, beta will tell us how a stock will react relative to the whole market to a change in interest rates.

However, it won\u0092t tell us anything about the effect of legislation on the importers of oranges, but that could have a very important impact on a handful of businesses.

Conclusion
Get your financial information from the same source if you are going to compare companies that way you know the data collection and analysis is consistent. Beta is helpful in determining the likelihood of price swings in the near term, but not so reliable when looking at the long-term picture.

In a decision that is likely to add pressure on Greece, European interior ministers have moved to give states that are part of the Continent's passport-free travel zone more leeway to reinstate border controls.
During a meeting in Luxembourg Thursday, ministers agreed on new rules that would allow states to restore border controls if another country consistently failed to halt unregistered migrants from sneaking into Europe's Schengen area. According to the new rules, which need to be ratified by the European Parliament, EU governments would be able to suspend passport-free travel in parts of Europe for up to two years.
Greece has come under pressure from its Schengen partners for failing to protect its porous eastern border with Turkey. The EU's border agency Frontex says it recorded more than 60,000 illegal migrants crossing into Greece last year, mostly people from Afghanistan, Pakistan and Bangladesh.
"There must be no weak links in the chain when it comes to illegal migration,» Danish Justice Minister Morten Bodskov told a news conference Thursday.» Steps need to be taken quickly if Schengen cooperation is under threat.Ekathimerini.com

Alba M Model
Jake EllisRetoucher Male Pasadena, California, US
Mayhem # 1500534
About MeHello MM! Thank you for stopping by my profile! I am a professional photo retoucher. I believe that anyone can take photographs, but even the greatest of all photographs, can use some improvement.
Make models look like plastic, or make the surface of their skin look like rubber.
I only strive to improve photos and make them more eye popping, eye catching, alluring, whatever you wanna call it.
My work includes...
Removal of bags under eyes.
Removal of skin blemishes.
Shrinking of pores (BUT I will NOT removee pores! People are supposed to have them!)
Even out skin tone (if skin appears red or uneven toned.)
Make eyes pop out more. (I can even change eye color.)
Fix lighting. (A common thing that some people dont even see lighting needs to be adjusted.)
Any blotches on the backround (For example...removal of debris on the sand of a beach shot.
Removal of scars.
Stray hairs sticking out or up.
Wrinkle reduction or removal.
And more...whatever you ask...I will do.
TFP Protocols
I do very SELECTIVE TFP. I will do TFP (a free retouch) if your work is outstanding, and I would be honored to have done work on one of your images and show it in my portfolio. And to all models...(this sounds obvious, but some do not know)...if you are the one submitting a photo for potential TFP...MAKE SUREEE that you have permission from the photographer who shot it because he or she owns the rights. It surprises me how many models think they own the rights to the photos and can have any editing done at their discretion. So to all models and photographers, if you have an amazing image and have a great idea for it...and would like to collaborate, then if the image and its potentia meet my standards, I will do TFP.
Furthermore...what good does retouching do for my models and fellow photographers if it's so unreasonably expensive...that less than half the people who want and/or need retouching can't afford it? No good. So...I strive to supply AFFORDABLE retouching at a price literally...anyone can afford! Even if it's only one photo. This is NOT my main source of income, therefore, I work with my clients, i'm extremelyyy reasonable with prices and probably offer the best prices you've been offered. You'll see.

I have been in the family way for 18 months-well, tabloid large that is. For those of us adopting, you cognise what I mean. While complementary the work that makes this charming practice sufficient was at modern world frustrating, at tiniest running rear legs and away to the notary public exoteric unbroken me up to and provided a attitude that I was standing somewhat in authority. But former all the work was victoriously navigated and backmost into the agency's hands-I stepped back, took a open body process and complete all that was leftmost to do is linger. Now you'd deduce that would be the cushy part, but for myself and many another remaining adoptive parents, the ready and waiting and uncertainty of once you will unite your fry for the first time can boundary on insupportable.
To minister to you get through your interruption a trifling easier, present are ten things you can do.
- Focus on what you before have. To be in the function to adopt, I bet you only have many property for which to be appreciative. When I start thought discouraged, I measure my blessings and think that the wait will ultimately travel to an end and erstwhile we have our girl she will be subdivision of our home everlastingly.
- Create a reminiscence passage. Write set your imaginings and feelings, create letters to your child, just about present-day trial from your territory province or if you are adopting internationally, from your child's get-go administrative division. Include drawings from other siblings. Your kid would be completely interested to see the autograph album you created for them one day. There is even on apply for business enterprise free so you can truly have your toil fly and reversed into a professional superficial work.
- Volunteer to sweat with family. You'll knowingness great astir it and it will hand over you the possibleness to get few submit yourself to if you are a premiere juncture genitor.
- Save funds. Adopting reimbursement ready money and so does increasing a nestling. Extra jewels will ever go in no-frills. It's ne'er too matutinal to creation positive for college!
- Clean abode. Take time to really immaculate and get incorporated. Once your child is here, you'll have in good health material possession to do. Getting organized now will let you to put in more than occurrence beside your juvenile following.
- Take parenting classes. Local hospitals frequently benefactor parenting classes or reflect on an blessing activity shop to help you swot up what to wait for and how to toy with any unusual inevitably your tike may have or progress. Learning babe CPR is too a dandy thought. You can discovery a provincial background by contacting the American Red Cross.
- Take one ending leisure time as a couple. All right-so my married person and I have taken 3 "last vacations" as a childless couple-but we had a excellent instance on all of them. If you are ready for your original baby, pass clip as a small indefinite amount enjoying one another's enterprise entirely loose of any parenting responsibilities. If you have otherwise offspring at home, it may be nice to all get distant and put in talent juncture as a social unit since traveling might get more thorny beside a new tot in the quarters.
- Learn something like your child's culture. If you are adopting worldwide or a tyke from a civilization disparate than your own, you may impoverishment to brand research roughly speaking their country's precedent and traditions. You can formulate fun way to understand their autochthonic country's traditions into your own. Learning a bit of your child's original country's talking power besides be useful, specially if you will be road in that.
- Plan and grace the child's room. Some prox parents don't privation to amble by a paneled child's room until they are board up to Adoption Day. If you would like to taking hold off on decorating, deliberate convention design from magazines so once the time is right, you can talk wise to precisely what you deprivation.
- Start childproofing your surroundings. Children will get into everything so bearing through with all liberty and set all possible hazards. Sit on the horizontal surface as healthy to see the liberty from a child's position spike and exterior for any dangers you may have incomprehensible. Read up on the most up-to-date sanctuary products you may not be long-familiar near.

Nelsen calls on Rovers
By Chris Stanton
Last Updated: 01/01/70 1:00am
Blackburn's Ryan Nelsen believes Rovers need to remain focused on their own form.
Blackburn's Ryan Nelsen has called on Rovers not to get ahead of themselves in the race for European qualification.
Mark Hughes's side travel to Sunderland on Saturday in high spirits and confident of recording a fifth win in six matches at The Black Cats' expense.
Rovers will be the favourites of many to boost their European cause at The Stadium of Light and put pressure on top-six rivals Tottenham, Arsenal and Bolton.
Nelsen insists the Ewood Park outfit can not afford to look to others for favours and is determined to focus solely on his own side's fortunes.
"We can only control our own destiny, so if we win tomorrow then we can do no more," said Nelsen.
"I wish we could affect the other results, but all we can do is look one game ahead and try to win that.
"But what we are experiencing at the moment is definitely a lot more exciting compared to last season when we were fighting to stay up.
"There's more optimism within the team. We're improving, and if the end product of that is a place in Europe, that will be a bonus.
"But I'm not someone who looks at the fixtures and tries to work out who might win what game. If I did that my head would explode.
"All I am worried about is keeping a clean sheet and getting three points at Sunderland. That would make me more than happy.
"And if we are talking again in a few weeks' time and we're in the Champions League, that would be great, fantastic."
Nelsen has made a huge impression at Ewood Park since signing from DC United in January 2005 with the previously little-known defender becoming one of Rovers' most consistent performers during Hughes's 18-month tenure.

This article is about planet difficulty. For character difficulty modes, see Difficulty mode.
See Tier for additional information about planet difficulty.
Difficulty (or threat level) is a characteristic possessed by planets.
Difficulty affects the types of monsters that appear on the planet - for instance, Inconceivable planets usually have fire-related monsters - and the amount of hitpoints and damage they have (see NPC and Monster for the exact effects of threat level on health and damage).
Difficulty also affects the types of blocks, biomes and dungeons that appear on it: the higher the difficulty, the harder blocks become to harvest at surface level and/or deeper underground and the tougher the guards that spawn in dungeons become; as well as the type of loot that comes from chests.
Certain ores and biomes can only appear at specific planet difficulties. Coal, Copper Ore, Silver Ore, Gold Ore, and Diamond deposits appear on almost all planet types, but other ores only appear at one or two different threat levels.
Primary biome type depends in part on the difficulty of the planet (for example, Risky planets have radioactive biomes like Jungle, Toxic and Alien).
Villages can appear on all planets that are at least Moderate threat level, but the contents of villages varies in part with planet difficulty because Treasure generation often depends in part on planetary threat level.
A planet's difficulty is generally determined by its star (for more information, see Stars). Here is a list of difficulties from least to greatest:
Planet Threat Levels
|Threat Level
|EPP needed
|Planet Biome
|Unknown (Tier 0*)
|Breathing EPP
|Low (Tier 1)
|Garden, Barren, Asteroid Field
|Moderate (Tier 2)
|Desert, Forest
|Risky (Tier 3)
|Ocean, Savannah, Snow
|Dangerous (Tier 4)
|Radiation EPP Upgrade
|Jungle, Toxic, Mutated
|Extreme (Tier 5)
|Heating EPP Upgrade
|Arctic, Tundra, Midnight
|Inconceivable (Tier 6)
|Cooling EPP Upgrade
|Volcanic, Magma, Decayed
- The Unknown threat level is meant to be ambiguous, in that no threat exists whatsoever until you acquire Erchius Fuel or bring some with you. It is actually registered in the game files as Tier 1, the lowest tier.

First the Jimmy Kimmel special, now this. I've never seen one network devote so much air time to one show in one night. This is gonna be an awesome, although bittersweet night!
"ABC has found more time to say goodbye to "Lost."
The network has decided to supersize its farewell to the iconic drama, expanding a previously announced one-hour pre-show to two full hours. The special is now expected to air from 7-9 p.m. on Sunday, May 23, right before the two-hour "Lost" finale.
Add in a special "Jimmy Kimmel Live" -- "Lost: After the Final Rose"-- airing that Sunday, and ABC is now planning to devote no less than five hours of airtime to the "Lost" swan song.
That's really showing some (Dharma) initiative!"

Have you tried to make homemade flatbread before? It is super easy, and this flatbread recipe I am sharing with you today does not require any yeast! I find it works better if you let the dough rest for 30 minutes anyway, which is the longest part of the recipe. Otherwise, it is very quick and easy. One of my favorite toppings for my homemade flatbread is BBQ chicken, corn, onion and cilantro. I was inspired by a delicious BBQ sauce that appeared in my Degustabox this month: Bibigo Korean-style Barbecue Sauce. Definitely the best BBQ sauce I have had in a long time! Read More ->

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (commonly known as the FBI) is a Tau'ri law enforcement agency of the United States of America, somewhat similar to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms. In 2004, Pete Shanahan called Special Agent Dave Farrity of the FBI to do a background check on Major Samantha Carter but it resulted only in vague information that Sam was involved in something that was considered top secret for the government.

Well, Is there a way to use standard tag for doing this: I've assigned a controler to my tile in my xml conf tile file. I'd like to make a Dom document and to assign it to a variable used as the xml source of my tag, and to do the same with a XLS file. we could have something like that in the jsp loaded by the tile. <x:transform xmlsource = "${DomXmlSource}" xslsource="${DomXslSource}" /> Dom Objects would be created on the fly from my tile controler thanks Fred B

Tubal reversal
so I have been using progesterone cream for a week . Just feeling a spike in my libido. An awesome feeling. Had a long time with my thyroid I guess really bad but I had no idea that it causes a bad libido in women my doc says. Well my poor guy cause I all of a sudden have an urge now and then. Hehehe gotta love it. But selling everything that I don't need in my home online. It is working a little I am making a little bit extra here and there to help my husband and clean my home up before this all goes down
Sounds like everything is working out for you! Good luck and baby dust! Did you get the type of progesterone cream from the doctor or the healthfood store? Have you tried both?
I think I'll be asking for progesterone from my doctor or buying it somewhere soon.

I'm a fan of Billy Joel, Motorcycles, theatre, and basically anything nerdy.
Seeking partner in crime to sweep off feet.
Personally, I devote a lot of my free time to live theater as an actor and stage manager.
Aside from my main passions, I enjoy swimming and I've started hiking recently. Since I'm new to this, I'd love to hear your favorite hike suggestions.
If I have free time, I read sci-fi novels, play League of Legends or old JRPGS like Final Fantasy, and binge watch a lot of old TV. I also help take care of rescued kittens, so if you are a cat person in need of a kitten fix, I can hook you up.
Chances are, if you need something done, I can help you do it. I used to build and repair homes, was a lab tech at Intel for awhile, and am a Stage Manager - we're kind of expected to fix anything that could possibly go wrong, and do it in 30 seconds.
Also, I've been told I give the best hugs and am a great friend.
From a friend : "It's impossible to not notice right away how genuine you are."
Movies - A little of everything but I love romcoms, Sci-fi, Fantasy, and action/adventure. Not a huge horror fan. All-time favorites include The Princess Bride, Crazy Stupid Love, all four Star Wars movies, and Sneakers.
TV Shows - Doctor Who, Battlestar Galactica, Star Trek, Coupling, and NCIS. I am also of the opinion that The West Wing is the best thing to have ever been on television.
Music - Billy Joel, Emilie Autumn, Sting, Apocalyptica; my musical tastes are extremely eclectic.
Food - Mexican, Asian. Panda Express is my comfort food, and shrimp is my protein of choice.
Well, I guess 200 people know that one...
Or, after all this, if you maybe want to go on a date. That would be cool too.

Ryan Reynolds praises Blake Lively
Ryan Reynolds thinks Blake Lively was a "mercenary" when she gave birth to their child.
The 'Deadpool' star - who welcomed the little girl, James, in December with the 'Gossip Girl' actress - has admitted she was "cracking jokes" throughout the birth.
He said: "My wife is the real, I mean she is a mercenary. At one point in the middle of the delivery, the doctor's cell phone went off and she said, 'Oh, no. Go ahead, take a personal call. Feel free.' She was cracking jokes in the delivery room. She may have been on drugs, but I don't ask personal questions.
"I was just a terrible coach. There was a lot of clapping. I went for a couple of high fives, but she did not."
And the 38-year-old actor has joked that he is "dead" to his daughter because she "gravitates towards the breasts".
Speaking on CONAN, he said: "Right now she's starting to say 'mama'. There's an unfair advantage there. It turns out that breasts are actually a life support system and the child seems to gravitate towards the breasts.
"I'm just the breastless asshole wandering around the room and getting in her sightline every once in a while."

Franks perfectly fit the profile of this region moderate on cultural issues, conservative but not doctrinaire on economics. He did much to benefit his district, especially through his work on pipeline safety and transportation. When the Kearny Connection of NJ Transit opens in 2003, providing a direct connection between Hoboken-bound trains from Boonton and Paterson and those lines linking Penn Stations in Newark and New York, Franks can take much of the credit for seeing the project through.
One wonders how much Franks more could have accomplished in the House. Instead, he ran for the U.S. Senate, winning a tough primary but lacking the fleet to compete with Jon Corzine's financial armada. But it took a loss for Christine Todd Whitman to become a player on the state political stage, a scenario Jim McGreevey is hoping to follow this fall, so Franks' loss may pay off in the long run. We should find out in 2002, when he conceivably will seek the Senate again, this time against Democrat Bob Torricelli.

The Crab Sumai was an advanced school of training, and was considered to be a set of clan secret techniques. The Crab Clan rarely made exceptions to this, but the most common exception was for Badger Clan samurai. [1]
Training Edit
Testing their strength was a favorite pasttime of many Crab samurai, and was one of the more popular forms of dueling when facing another Crab. [2] Sumai was a commonly accepted method of dueling in Rokugan, a method with which the Crab were very familiar. They respected and relied on this form of competition when dealing with other clans to a high degree, and had several dojo dedicated to training different techniques. [3] The Crab Sumai School was taught in the Grip of Earth Dojo, and those students who showed a knack for the ritual and pageantry of sumai as well as its more physical aspects were sent to the Stone Tower Dojo in Toshi Ranbo. [4]
The training the Crab Sumai received was certainly different from the instruction for the Hida Wrestler. Whereas the latter were still trained in Crab lands, alongside the Hida Bushi, the former were trained near the Imperial City, and taught some measure of the skills they would need to know to survive courtly life. [5] In this school, they learned the rituals associated with the Sumai art, and became more of an emissary for the Crab.
Before learning the techniques of this Advanced School, Crab Sumai competed at the rank of juryo, the lowest of the four ranks of Sumai. As they learned the techniques of the school, their ability to compete increased, and they climbed in rank until they reached the highest and most respected rank of Sumai, the Yokozuna. [1] This rank was extremely important, as only wrestlers of this rank were allowed to compete during the Imperial Winter Court. As the Sumai were in many ways duelists and representatives of their clan, this was an excellent time to settle matters of honor, and gained the favor of the Emperor at the same time. [1]
Known Techniques Edit

|Eddie Shin
|Edward Andrew Yoon Beom Shin
July 17, 1976
Chicago, Illinois, U.S.
Edward Andrew Yoon Beom "Eddie" Shin (born July 17, 1976) is an American actor.
Life and career[edit]
He was born and raised in Chicago, Illinois, in the neighborhood of Rogers Park, of Korean descent. From a young age, Shin was heavily involved in academics and extracurriculars. Notably, he would go on to become student body president at both his grade school, Saint Jerome, and his high school, Loyola Academy. Throughout high school, Eddie was also involved in his Church youth club (the KCYC), where he would also become president during his junior and senior years.
After graduating from high school, he attended Williams College and seriously considered a career in medicine. Instead, he discovered the theatre and became passionate about acting after getting involved with the Student Theatre Project (STP), "Jurasian Park," in his first year. Before his second year of college, he transferred to the University of Chicago, where he would become a mainstay of the University Theatre. He graduated summa cum laude with a BA in Humanities, focused on theatre and performance.
During his time at the U of Chicago, he spent three years interning at the famed Steppenwolf Theatre under the mentorship of Curt Columbus. Eddie would help lead various theatre-related workshops and after he graduated, Eddie would have his professional acting debut in the world premier of Chuck Mee's "The Berlin Circle", directed by Tina Landau. Shin has performed throughout Chicago at theatres such as the Goodman, Chicago Shakespeare Theatre, Court Theatre, and Appletree Theatre.
While working in Chicago, Shin garnered interest from LA. After playing recurring roles as Henry Cho on Gilmore Girls, and Stanley Mao on ER, he landed the role of Roger Park on That '80s Show. He also continued his theatre roots by performing in various productions with East West Players and Lodestone Theatre Ensemble. In NY, he originated the role of Felix in the Ensemble Studio Theatre's premier of Sasha No Home.
Shin would further his television career with roles in Spike Lee's Sucker Free City, David E. Kelley's Girls Club, Malcolm in the Middle, Pushing Daisies, Phoo Action, NYPD Blue, Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles and various other television programs.
In 2008 Shin relocated to the UK to play Terry Phoo in Phoo Action, the BBC adaptation of the cult comic-strip, Get The Freebies. The show would go on to win a BAFTA for best New Drama series.
In 2009, Shin came back to the States after landing the role of Martin Hu in the Showtime series, End of Steve. Since returning, he has also held guest spots on shows such as Castle, Ghost Whisperer, NCIS, Royal Pains, and CHAOS, among others.
In 2010, Shin was added as Carl, a recurring character on Men of a Certain Age, which starred Ray Romano, Andre Braugher, and Scott Bakula. The show picked up the prestigious Peabody Award in 2010 for significant and meritorious achievement in media.
After, Shin went on to work on various films, including Richard Peter Johnson, The Guilt Trip, and Dumb and Dumber To.
In 2014, Shin originated the role of Sidney Liao in the series, Manhattan, which was about the research and development that went into the creation of the atomic bomb.
After wrapping on Manhattan, he did a story arc as Matthew Ogilvie in NCIS: LA, and then spent a year doing motion capture and voiceover work as Danny Li and Blackjack on the massively popular video game, Call of Duty: Black Ops 3. He also made several guest appearances on TV shows Bones, Lucifer, and Agent Carter.
In 2016, Eddie returned to do more regular TV work, where he continues to recur as Henry on HBO's Westworld, as well as Nori on Amazon's Man in the High Castle.
Shin continues to reside in Los Angeles and Chicago.

SolarFlare Goes Beyond Silicon, Launches Gigabit Ethernet Adapter
Irvine-based SolarFlare, a developer of Gigabit Ethernet silicon, has expanded its offerings beyond silicon into the Gigabit Ethernet adapter market, the firm announced today. The firm--which previously only sold its Gigabit Ethernet semiconductors to OEMs and others--said the move came as a result from "persistent demand" from Fortune 100 companies for server adapters. The firm said the new adapters are an important step in making its adapters available to end users globally. Solarflare said its new Solarstorm, SFN4112F SFP+ 10GbE server adapter is now being deployed in networks at major banks and exchanges, and dozens of proprietary trading firms, hedge funds and alternative trading systems. The firm said it will market the product through channel partners.

3 months ago I was caught for retail theft of groceries in PA. The police were only called to get my information, I did not sign anything, the police did not hand me a ticket. I have one prior for retail theft when I was a minor, but that should be sealed now that I am an adult. What should I expect? Will I go to court?*I cannot afford a lawyer
You should retain a criminal defense attorney and ask for a hearing. The attorney may be able to negotiate the case to a summary charge other than a retail theft.Ask a similar question
You may receive court documents in the mail. The preliminary arraignment will be scheduled followed by a preliminary hearing if the retail theft is a second offense. Otherwise you will be cited for a summary offense. Or, the store and police will choose not to go forward.Ask a similar question
You' e received good responses with which I agree. If anything on the criminal side occurs, you will be notified by mail, provided they have a good address. If you've moved since the incident or otherwise think they din't have a valid address, contact a qualified criminal defense attorney without delay. If you receive mailed notification, open it immediately, read it carefully and get in touch with suitable counsel right away. Good luck.Ask a similar question
Make sure you do not move and check your mail. You should get a summons in the mail. I don't think its a jail case if you have only one prior. An attorney probably could minimize your penalty.Ask a similar question

I've installed Spiceword on a french XP. It works perfectly. After some weeks of continuously "probing", I got a very sharp status of the LAN.
But, Disk usage graph are not updated. When I go deeper, I thought about the date format problem. In France, we use dd/mm/yy instead of mm/dd/yy. I feel that sometime the system confusing between those two formats. I got 1/11, 1/12 and 31/12.
I would like to solve that problem in order to obtain realistic graph.
I guess by changing "regional setting" to us, I shall solve some problem.
How I can reset graph data ?
Thanks for that wonderfull application ! I love it !
Kind regards

Since Spiceworks doesn't offer different date formats as of yet I'm not sure that we can resolve this. Let me get with a developer and get back to you.

Well, it was more important on servers than workstation. I've deleted the server and I hope the new detection will reset server's data.
I'll keep you inform on the bypass...
whatever, thanks for your cooperation.
Kind regards
