Sucks. Us FDC will take your little planet now, thank you very much. Don't try stopping us - we've also got LED and some Mercs that double the size of our forces. Your doom is here.
Until tommorrow when 3/4 of LED and FDC go back to school.
Hahaha, we are raping now.
There was a line of about 20-30 fdc in our CC, and since they think their firing lines are the shit, we came from behind and naded.
None lived, No EC died.
I need someone to help kill my LED Char, I don't want to be with a group of power-hungry kids thought it would be better but... :sigh:
Go to Necar's Hill or Titan station and jump off the cliffs or the bridges.
Or run around with LEDs stunning them

I'm BoS and I'm in tokyo...there's no one here
I was just in Tokyo, omg! Then a bunch of guys in all green turned the corner and lit me up.
I really need to find people to play with, I can't figure out this shit on my own.
I'm making a new character, I'll be on in a couple minutes. I spent an hour trying to kill myself but I still have like 16k UC left so I'm gonna have alot of uninsured clones. But I'm just gonna make a new account.
I really want to join you, but I have an exam first thing tomorrow morning, and I should already be asleep. Will you be on sometime tomorrow? Aroound, 13 hours from now?
Yep, most def. Add me on steam, name is sickjits
Sure thing bro. I'll add ye, then I has to sleep.
Ehh, I tried adding you, and it said user doesn't exist, blah blah blah.
Add me when you get the chance, my STEAM account name is 'tjz13182', but you can search up 'Nikolai Sergeyev' on the community if that don't work.

my in game FOM name is Muay Korat, I'm in BOS
I'm downloading this now, will it eventually be a pay monthly thing or what?
For now you can monthly pay for a Premium account :V
I can't even figure out how to open up a help menu or anything. I'm just dumped into the game world, confused.
Did you look at the tutorial videos?
I just registered, I'll try it out when I get home.
I picked LED, turns out thats like the shittest one to join. To top it off there is no character reset available, I think you have to kill all your clones.
Either that, or buy an apartment and change you faction there
I found out you can delete your character on the website. Question is, what should I come back as?

Ring-necked DuckAythya collaris L 17" (43 cm)
Male ring-necked ducks are have a distinctive white bar that separates the black chest from the white sides. The head and back are blackish. Females are brown with a small white line going back from the eye. Both have a diagnostic blue bill with a bright white band near the black tip and a high, peaked head. Ring-necked ducks are freshwater birds, gathering in flocks in migration and wintering in lakes, ponds, swamps, and smaller rivers. They favor shallower water and more heavily vegetated sites than most diving ducks. They sometimes flock with scaup and other diving ducks. They feed by actively diving for plant seeds and mollusks, although vegetable matter makes up the bulk of their yearly diet. Although silent throughout much of the year, the males give a quiet whistling sound on the breeding grounds. Ring-neckeds breed across most of Canada and in parts of the western United States.

Pope Francis addressed the faithful gathered at St. Peter's Square on the occasion of World Day of Vocations, 2013:
Look! I would like to ask you: have you sometimes heard the Lord's voice, in a desire, in a worry, did he invite you to follow him more closely? Have you heard him? ... Have you wanted to be apostles of Jesus? We must bet on youth for the great ideals. Do you think this? Do you agree? Ask Jesus what he wants of you and be brave! Be brave! Ask him this!
Behind and before every vocation to the priesthood or to the consecrated life there is always the strong and intense prayer of someone: a grandmother, a grandfather, a mother, a father, a community.... This is why Jesus said: "Pray therefore the Lord of the harvest", that is, God the Father, "to send out labourers into his harvest." (Mt 9:38). Vocations are born in prayer and from prayer; and only through prayer can they persevere and bear fruit.

So, what I'd like to do first is get a sample of map components and stick figures (one or two of each). Based on that sample, I will select the winning designer and we will work on developing the cartoon.
Here's the list stick figures doing mountain activities that I eventually want to illustrate. Just pick one or two at first
to see if our styles match:
- Hiker
- Golfer
- Mountain
- Swimmer
- Sailboat
- Canoe
- Photographer
(with tripod)
- Horseback
- River

also need a few background-types of things that I can use with the
stick figures when I build my map. Maybe submit one or two , again for style purposes:
- Two
mountains side-by-side
- One mountain
- Horizontal mountain range (i.e. running across page)
- Vertical mountain range (i.e. running up/down page)- Hot Sulphur Springs Resort(like
but not all the detail, just tall rocks with a waterfall into a
steaming pool with a person)
Payment by Paypal or Western Union.
Fees will be deducted for Western Union.
Bonus points:
If you
can work caricatures of my dogs in as the lead dogs of the sled team, you'd
score major bonus points with us. Dogs can be seen at http://picasaweb.google.com/a.mccormick/Dogs
Ultimately, I'd like to develop a winter and summer cartoon as described in this google doc. I can assemble the pieces of the map so that you don't have to figure out where everything goes, though. :)

Michael Jordan Is a Jerk - And I'm Thankful For That
Michael Jordan Is a Jerk...
And We Love It
Have you ever been a poor sport? Of course you haven't. There's no way that you've ever flipped over a checkerboard after losing to your younger brother; punted a basketball after losing a game of 3-on-3; or yelled at a teammate when he made a crucial mistake. That doesn't sound like anything you've done in your life.A winning attitude
Who are we kidding? That's all of us. If you are even halfway successful in life, chances are you have a competitive streak somewhere inside of you. And if you're competitive, you hate losing. Back in my college days, I got suspended for throwing a basketball at a referee's head in an intramural game. In my defense, the pimple-faced freshman wouldn't call a foul if someone crane-kicked me in the face. Was it the right thing to do? Absolutely not. Did I feel completely justified in it? You betcha. And I'm just a regular guy. Take that competitiveness, multiply it by 100, and you might come close to the nature of some of our most elite athletes. There are amazing physical specimens out there, but it's not all physical. The worst player on the worst NBA team would still be a better player than anyone you've ever known. What separates the stars from the superstars?
Separating the stars from the superstars
The answer is competitiveness. That's the reason we see so many athletes drop off the map after signing a max deal. They lose their motivation, their edge, and they stop being the player they once were. That is why players like Michael Jordan are so rare. He rose above the rest because there was something inside of him that kept pushing him through his entire career. Last week, some people were shocked at Jordan's Hall of Fame speech, in which he singled out people who have slighted him in his career and called out others who he had humiliated. It came off as petty and bitter from the player that everyone had gathered to celebrate. He had already proved himself to be the best, why did he feel the need to rub it in everyone's faces?
Is Jordan a petty jerk?
To answer that question is to define Michael Jordan. The ability to take each slight and use it as competitive fuel is what made him the player he was. Without being vindictive and — let's face it — kind of a jerk, Michael Jordan isn't Michael Jordan. Is it worth putting up with his personality to be able to have watched him over his career? Take a look at Serena Williams. At the U.S. Open she got so furious at a call that she threatened to shove a certain green, fuzzy object down a judge's throat. Everyone has flipped out about it. I loved it. Serena Williams has been one of the most dominant women ever to play the game of tennis, but people complained that her lackluster attitude kept her from being the best ever. Then, when she finally shows some competitive fire, she gets blasted for it? How does that make any sense?
Armchair referee
We, as regular people, don't understand the mindset it takes to be an elite professional athlete. We can't. So what gives us the right to sit back in our recliners at home and complain about the actions of those athletes when that is what makes them watchable in the first place? When does it all become too much? How much can we take from these players before their actions overshadow their greatness? Sure, I argue that their personality is what makes them great athletes, but how would that be any different than saying: "Hey, leave Kanye alone. It's that combination of ego, self-entitlement and insanity that allows him to make great music. We should expect blowups like the VMA Awards."

A Sudden Country
A Sudden Country
By Karen Fisher
Random House Trade, Paperback, 9780812973433, 379pp.
Publication Date: June 27, 2006
James MacLaren, once a resourceful and ambitious Hudson's Bay Company trader, has renounced his aspirations for a quiet family life in the Bitterroot wilderness. Yet his life is overturned in the winter of 1846, when his Nez Perce wife deserts him and his children die of smallpox. In the grip of a profound sorrow, MacLaren, whose home once spanned a continent, sets out to find his wife. But an act of secret vengeance changes his course, introducing him to a different wife and mother: Lucy Mitchell, journeying westward with her family.
Lucy, a remarried widow, careful mother, and reluctant emigrant, is drawn at once to the self-possessed MacLaren. Convinced that he is the key to her family's safe passage, she persuades her husband to employ him. As their hidden stories and obsessions unfold, and pasts and cultures collide, both Lucy and MacLaren must confront the people they have truly been, are, and may become.
Alive with incident and insight, presenting with rare scope and intimacy the complex relations among nineteenth-century traders, immigrants, and Native Americans, A Sudden Country is, above all, a heroic and unforgettable story of love and loss, sacrifice and understanding.
From the Hardcover edition.
"A splendid novel, rendering a past era of America with resonant clarity and unfolding an achingly human story. Fisher also has a distinctively lovely narrative voice. This is a very impressive debut from a writer I will be delighted to follow in the years to come."
–Robert Olen Butler, author of Had a Good Time
"A gorgeous and mesmerizing story of a journey. Fisher provides both the historical context and the perfect detail with equal grace. She deals in big emotions, big adventures, big landscapes, and human-size people. This is a remarkable, remarkable book and I loved every word of it."
–Karen Joy Fowler, author of The Jane Austen Book Club
"On every page of A Sudden Country, Karen Fisher finds a way to astonish– with her extraordinary command of period details, with her profound insights into love-tormented hearts and minds, with her style, which is both lyrical and economical. This is a magnificent debut."
–Larry Watson, author of Orchard and Montana 1948
"A Sudden Country will take you to the frontiers of your heart. Let Karen Fisher's story remind you of what we all know most deeply: Life itself–the will to survive–depends on love."
–Thomas Eidson, author of The Missing

Naturally Descriptive
January 21, 2004
This is an excellent way to develop skills in writing descriptive paragraphs. It also addresses the issue of using power words to start sentences. We proudly display the published work in the hall with the picture prompts. Your students, their parents, and your administrators will be amazed at the final product! Have students fold a sheet of notebook paper into thirds so that they have 3 vertical columns. Label the left column 'adjectives', the middle column 'nouns', and the right, 'verbs'. Provide nature scenes from calendars or magazines to generate ideas. Ask students to list, in the noun column, all of the nouns in the picture. Encourage the students to skip lines as they write as this helps with organization and neatness. Then have the students list one or two adjectives beside each noun. Next they write a verb (present tense is best) to go with each noun. This part can be very challenging. Encourage students to use 'action verbs' and 'stretch' verbs beyond the common. Insist on interesting, more sophisticated verbs. Runs could be sprints, gallops, etc. Walks could become trudges, lumbers, etc. Looks could become gazes, peers, etc. Encourage use of a thesaurus. Students will almost always begin the sentences with 'There is', so it is important to make a 'rule' to prevent that from happening. Teach them to avoid boring words by starting each sentence with the words from their brainstorm sheet (i.e., Huge waves crash, or Fluffy, white snowflakes drift). Then show them how to add 'when, where, or how' to complete their sentences. Encourage figurative language. For example, mountains don't just sit on the landscape, mountains reach for the sky, mountains tower like skyscraper, mountains stand guard. As an alternative prompt, bring in a beach chair, wear flip-flops and pretend to be at the beach to help students 'see' a scene in their mind's eye. Students can bring in their own sunglasses to add to the mood. This is particularly fun as a winter activity when everyone, especially the teacher, needs a little sunshine.

The CW is making some major changes to its line-up for the 2013 season, the network announced on Thursday at its Upfront presentation in New York City.
8 p.m. — "Hart of Dixie"
9 p.m. — "Beauty and the Beast"
The CW's Monday is a destination for romance — the comedic charm of "Hart of Dixie" at 8 p.m., followed by the epic, dangerous story of Cat and Vincent on "Beauty and the Beast" at 9 p.m. Though the shows initially seem like an odd fit, following "Dixie's" sugary sweetness with a the troubled, passionate tale of "Beauty and the Beast" may just strike the balance that the shows need to get off the bubble.
8 p.m. — "The Originals"
9 p.m. — "Supernatural"
We expected "The Originals" to follow "Vampire Diaries" on Thursday nights, but we're pleased to see that the network chose to put the spin-off on Tuesdays instead. That post-"TVD" spot on Thursdays can be unstable, because the audience tends to be so overwhelmed by cliffhangers that the show doesn't make an ideal lead-in. By pairing "The Originals" with "Supernatural," the network is promising a darker, scarier series than we've seen with "Vampire Diaries," and that's just what we're after. Speaking of "Supernatural," this move puts the show back in the timeslot where it began its run in 2005 on The WB. The 2012 season saw "Supernatural" thrive unexpectedly, and we're sure its devoted, cultish audience would follow it to any night of the week.
8 p.m. — "Arrow"
9 p.m. — "The Tomorrow People"
The Amell family owns Wednesdays on The CW (as does executive producer Greg Berlanti, who heads up both series). Stephen Amell led "Arrow" through a near-perfect first season this year, which made the 9 p.m. slot following the DC Comics series the network's most coveted spot for freshman series. With "Supernatural" revived and able to stand on its own, The CW chose "The Tomorrow People" — starring Stephen's cousin, Robbie Amell — for the prime position. Amell plays a troubled teenager who discovers that he possesses shocking abilities with the potential to tear him away from his family.
8 p.m. — "The Vampire Diaries"
9 p.m. — "Reign"
"The Vampire Diaries" stays put, as always, anchoring The CW's Thursday night line-up in its fifth season. Historically, the timeslot following the show has been a difficult one to fill, largely because of "The Vampire Diaries'" tendency to end on cliffhangers that send viewers racing to their computers instead of tuning in for the 9 p.m. show. The CW is looking to combat cliffhanger fatigue with "Reign" at 9 p.m. Starring Adelaide Kane as the young Mary, Queen of Scots, "Reign" promises romance, intrigue, and sex set in a time when those things were far more clandestine than they are now.
8 p.m. — "The Carrie Diaries"
9 p.m. — "America's Next Top Model"
The network is calling the pairing of "The Carrie Diaries" and "America's Next Top Model" their Fashionable Fridays line-up, which is an interesting experiment. With other nets like FOX and NBC turning their Fridays into a genre night, The CW is smart to counter-program with young-skewing, female-driven shows. It's The CW's first real attempt at a night aimed at family viewing, and it might just pay off in a TGIF sort of way.
For midseason, The CW has saved "The 100" and "Star-Crossed." "The 100" follows a group of 100 juvenile delinquents sent back to Earth years after its been named uninhabitable, to see if it's suitable for recolonization. "Star-Crossed" sticks with the space theme, with Matt Lanter starring as an alien boy who falls in love with a human girl (Aimee Teegarden) when he starts attending high school.

Seeds and Their Keepers are Key to Preserving India's Food Diversity
Women Farmers' Traditional Knowledge Needs to be Documented and Promoted
Let's start at the very beginning. Some might say that it all began with the seeds.
Seeds have long been a part of India's cultural heritage. In a country where about 70 percent of the population still lives in rural and semi-rural communities, seeds are an integral part of many rituals, ceremonies and festivals that celebrate the cycle of birth, life and death. The practice of seed saving has been a cornerstone of Indian farming traditions that made agriculture, itself, a way of life.
But much of this changed with India's Green Revolution in the 1960s. Introduction of the high yielding seed varieties and pervasive use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides eroded the diversity of indigenous seeds. As farmers moved away from the practice of saving and exchanging seeds with their neighbors and families, to buying seeds from the market, their own indigenous knowledge systems related to farming and seed saving slowly became irrelevant. Result — crop diversity suffered. In a land that once had 100,000 varieties of rice, you'll be hard-pressed to find anything outside a few popular varieties in the country's urban markets today.
And now there's the increasing threat of genetically modified food crop seeds (GMOs) entering the Indian markets. US chemical giant Monsanto's BTCotton already dominates the cottonseed market and has been linked with farmer suicides in western India. Genetic engineering experiments are underway for food crops like maize, mustard, chickpeas, potato and bananas. Many environmentalists and farmers' groups are worried about the impact of GMO food crops on the biological diversity of indigenous varieties, as well health concerns associated with its consumption.
Following massive protests, the Indian government has deferred the commercial cultivation of its first genetically modified vegetable, BT Brinjal (eggplant), a product of Monsanto partner, Mahyco. (Incidentally, India is one of the world's largest brinjal producers and grows over 4,000 varieties.)
Given all this news, it's heartening to note that there are several NGOs and environmental groups in India that are trying hard to reverse the country's industrial farming practices borrowed from the West.
I recently visited southern India, where I came across GREEN Foundation, a community-based organization that has been working to promote conservation of indigenous seeds, agro-biodiversity and ecological farming practices. GREEN works with small and marginalized farmers, including Indigenous people and marginalized lower castes, in semi-arid regions of Karnataka and helps them set up community-managed seed banks.
"When we began talking to the farmers, we realized that traditional varieties of seeds had almost disappeared. Without seeds what we were attempting to do would be a non-starter," notes Dr. Vanaja Ramprasad, seed conservationist and founder of GREEN. What I found really unique about the foundation was that it recognized that women were crucial to seed conservation efforts.
Traditionally, women farmers are the primary seed-keepers in India. Women are also significant food producers in the country, but sadly, they are not recognized as farmers and have to struggle to access land rights, information and credit. Ramprasad set up GREEN Foundation in 1996 with five women farmers and a handful of indigenous seeds.
The women's knowledge of seed saving, mixed farming and natural farming is vast, Ramprasad says. She shares an example of an elderly woman farmer, who identified nearly 80 varieties of greens in her field, as well as their uses for medicinal and nutrition needs. "Her knowledge was phenomenal," Ramprasad says. "When it comes to food security, women play a key role in identifying food that is available. In lean seasons, they trek to the nearby forests, and they are able to identify roots and tubers for their food requirements and medicinal plants."

This intimate knowledge that women farmers have about natural resources around them is often devalued by the state and agro-scientists, who instead promote technologies that might not always be appropriate for poor in rural communities. For instance, says Ramprasad, some greens found on the fields, which poor farmers in India subsist on during lean periods, are considered as weeds by agro-companies, which are eliminated with herbicides, often by male farmers who primarily access information related to the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides. Rural women rarely access information provided by agricultural extension services to improve farming practices. Besides, these extension services actively promote the use of hybrid seeds and chemical fertilizers and pesticides. And while women farmers provide labor for majority of the farming activities, the decisions regarding the management of the farm land lie largely in the hands of the men.
I later visited a women-run community seed bank where many varieties of millets and other nutritious food crop seeds were being saved. An excellent source of nutrition, some millet varieties are also drought-resistant and require less water for irrigation compared to rice and other water-thirsty hybrid crops. As small and marginalized farmers depend largely on the rain for their irrigation needs, millet is an important source of food security in areas where recurring droughts or dwindling and unreliable rainfall causes stress among farmers.
As I heard one of the elderly women farmers, Hombalamma, affectionately called "Seed Mother," speak about how she transitioned her farm to an organic one, where she now grows over 30 varieties of indigenous food crops, I could sense how proud these women were of their work and their indigenous seeds.
Indeed they should be proud.
In the face of growing climate unpredictability and increasing expenses for external farm inputs, it's clear that the traditional knowledge of seed selection and conservation, and natural farming practices that the women have are critical to our future and need to be documented and promoted.
Seed, a symbol of fertility, perpetuity, and sustenance in India, is now also becoming a symbol of self reliance and a key to safeguarding the biodiversity of indigenous crops on small farms across this South Asian nation.

crochet inspiration
Wednesday, December 01, 2010I haven't been "a friend to crochet with", yet, however, this book could change that. Pages upon pages filled with crochet inspiration.
There are four chapters that focus on crocheted fabrics, motifs, grannies, and flowers. All detailed to perfection, by Sasha Kagan.
It all looks so unbelievably gorgeous to me.
If you are a friend of mine that likes to crochet, or wants to learn to crochet, Tara at soho would like to share this book with two of you. Leave a comment by Friday, December 3, 5pm EST, and I will have the random generator draw two names.

I first learned to knit about five years ago, but kind of got frustrated and let it go and then last year picked up crochet. I love crocheting but have been regretting that I didn't keep up with the knitting so recently I decided to give it a go. I looooove your toast wristwarmers and decided that would be my break back into knitting project. They turned out gorgeous, I love them and am already working on a second pair. Thanks so much for the pattern. This book looks great, lots of gorgeous crochet going on for sure.

I'm finding that as I become more familiar with knitting, I want to know more about crocheting and how to work with the two. Knitting stretches, usually, and crocheting does not, usually. This can be a great advantage!
This book looks awsome, thanks for the giveaway!

I have been crocheting for over two years and just learned how to knit a month ago. It hasn't quite grabbed my attention like crochet but I'm keeping at it. I just found your blog and am getting so much inspiration to keep up with the knitting. This book looks fun!
ReplyDelete - Tricia U.12/01/2010
I'd love to learn how to crochet. At some point, I'm sure I'll have to incorporate it into my knitting, so no time like the present to learn! Many thanks!
ReplyDelete I can't get over the book. I learned to crochet in the 80's and everything was SO BULKY. I even knit a grey and lavender acrylic skirt (that thankfully never saw the light of day).
I pretty much learned to knit to make feminine things; I can't get my head around crochet being figure-flattering. Thank you for sharing!- Pippa12/01/2010
Hi there,
Would love to win the book, am I eligible as a Uk reader (lurker)?
Pippa Look at all those motifs!! I love crochet flowers and those pictures would give me some GOOD ideas. I like flowers that can be washed and then good as new. I have crochet for over 40 years, but I can still never have enough books.
Thank you for a wonderful give-away! I hope I win ... te, he, ...

looks a wonderful book, would love to share this with my two young nieces who are desperate to learn to crochet. light bright colours to lift dark moods
ReplyDelete I am always so envious when I see my friends at my LYS crocheting. The whole crochet language scares me, but I vow one of these years to make it my New Year's resolution to conquer this new skill. I do adore the granny square and would love to make some colorful afghans. Perhaps this book would make that happen!
ReplyDeleteOh, that book's a joy. And I treasure the memory of actually meeting Sasha K years and years ago at one of the very first Country Living Magazine's spring fairs.
She was a delight. Over the interim decades, Sasha has been able to keep true to her color sense, her love of vintage knit and crochet inspiration, and to lead the rest of us to enjoy the pleasures of knitting and crocheting.
As you also do! xo- Cyndi12/01/2010

I confess, I crochet much better than I knit. Someday I will be as comfortable with the needles as I am a hook. I've seen this book in stores and added it to my wish list it had so many great projects in it! Happy December 1st. I am very thankful for your blog. Love all your posts!

Maybe I don´t have a chance, but never say never.
I love crochet. Here in México it´s to difficult find a book like this.
Love your posts. I was here last week, looking at all your wonderful posts, projects, and prettiness! Ended up here again from UK lass in US when I clicked on her link to you! Happy to be back, and I love your blog.
I've put the Toast, Toasty, and Those Mitts on my list to make . . . but having trouble tearing myself away from the crochet hook!
Have been busy experimenting with crocheting various flower forms (you can see some of them here: http://www.ravelry.com/projects/alleysally) and having a ball, so the book in your giveaway would be a wonderful addition to the patterns I already know.
Love your chalkboard placemats, BTW! What an ingenious idea! I may have to give them to my daughter's four-year old fraternal twins (a boy and a girl) for Christmas from their doting Grandma (me!).
I am constantly impessed with blogs such as yours as the amazing amount of creativity I see displayed in them. (I'm sure men are equally creative, but I don't see the same wonderful things coming out of their blogs. Let's face it: we women rock!)
Happy Holidays to you and yours!- Anonymous12/02/2010

Star Wars Arcade: Falcon Gunner Review
Price: $4.99
Version: 1.0.1

Gameplay Rating:
Replay Value Rating:
Overall Rating:
Star Wars is one of those bulletproof franchises that no mater how much it chooses to abuse gamers, for some odd reason, it can really do no wrong. In another interesting test of that theory, THQ has decided to plunk players directly into the gunner seat of everyone's favorite smuggling spacecraft, the Millennium Falcon. So is this a chance to finally shoot the lights out, or are we looking at another experimental failure with an awesome John Williams soundtrack?
"Augmented Reality" is a term that has been kicked around quite a bit as of late, especially in the iOS space. As should come as no shock, when you attach a successful brand like Star Wars to the concept, our interest is piqued. The childhood days of fantasizing about being Luke Skywalker and gunning down TIE Fighters out of the sky has already arrived, so imagine how awesome it will be to have it set in your own living room! Giving players the feeling of a full three hundred and sixty degrees of navigation, all through rotating the perspective of the camera is amazing, but may require having a fully swivelable office chair at your disposal to play comfortably.
[caption id="attachment_56965" align="alignleft" width="245" caption="Yes, that's my gigantic TV!"][/caption]
As neat as the "augmented reality" technology is, the bulk of the game does not reside here. Unfortunately, abandoning this mode also results in the innovative control scheme going the way of the Dodo as well. While playing through a series of classic Star Wars dogfights, engaging in combat with Boba Fett's Slave 1, an Imperial Class Star Destroyer, or even Darth Vader's special Tie Advanced, players will flying their way through a Lucas inspired nerdgasm.
The more structured story based missions only involve having to protect against a roughly forty five degree angle of attack that can only be moved slightly by tilting the iOS device. On the bright side, this does seem to make the action much more manageable, as opposed to than having to worry about getting flanked from behind almost constantly.
Broken up into three separate chapters, consisting of a series of shorter missions, the game is structured to be a quick, pick-up-and-play experience. Sadly, this also means that the game can be beaten in one sitting if a player is fairly proficient. Though fully implemented Game Center achievements and leaderboards help to add legs to the replayability, the base content just seems too short.
On paper, Star Wars: Falcon Gunner seems like one of the neatest ideas to come along in quite some time. It may deliver on some of the potential, but it seems to be far more Phantom Menace than A New Hope. Give it a look if you are interested in getting a glimpse at the future, otherwise it may be best to wait for a price to drop.

Rob Glaser and his geek pals from Microsoft wanted to pull pro bowling out of the gutter. So they bought the whole damn league. […] TV ratings are climbing; 775,000 households watched pro bowling on ESPN last year, up 25 percent from two seasons ago. Viewership among 18- to 34-year-old males – the demo that makes or breaks most pro sports – is up 80 percent-plus. More people now watch the PBA than the National Hockey League.
The article is filled with great tidbits about the PBA and its turnaround. There's even a documentary film about it that might find its way to DVD next year.
My winter league starts back up September 13th.

I've seen their sp from this summer. Are there any vids posted of their sp/ lp at Nebelhorn? What's the verdict so far? Seems they are being promoted for the top spot at Nationals since both have been past champions and their pairing is fully supported and deemed promising/ a success. I am pulling more for Evora/ Ladwig, and I also hope to see Marley/ Brubaker continue to develop and become more competitive.
They have achieved good results due to good training and solid jumping skills. Not because they are being promoted as past champions. However you like them personally or artistically, you cannot deny that they have their act together jump-wise, and their presentation while not the best is fine for this stage. I don't like their music choices this year but I am not going to be upset if they zoom to the top of US pairs because they obviously have worked very hard and don't need to spend years toiling away mid-pack at US Nationals just because they are new. My favorite 3 US pairs are Evora/Ladwig, Castelli/Shnapir, and Donlan/Speroff, and I'd absolutely love to see them bring the jumps and win everything. But I have to be realistic that other outcomes are likely and I can't be mad at all the other teams who manage to skate better.
I particularly dislike that pole dancing last lift. She certainly is no Caitlin Yankowskas. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=incIOswvkv0 Heck, she isn't even Bridget Namiotka. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FauZ4ix55ak
All the lifts are atrocious, especially the pole dancing one to finish. The program is awful, there's no choreography, and it feels like it lasts 15 minutes. SUCH a step backwards for John after his gorgeous, stylish programs with Yankowskas last year.
I see the critics' points, although I'm trying to be positive. To me, it looked like they were attacking the LP and had speed [again, hard to judge speed]. Also, it looked like he had more extension than in the past
They need a real choreographer in Colorado Springs. This has been a problem since the beginning. Even Ave Maria wasn't that great of a program, but Caitlin was a star and she made it look nice. If only Dalilah could find a choreographer at least half as good as the Boston teams or Shanti...there has never been much originality in those CO programs, its really unfortunate.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Marina Zoueva choreograph this LP for Denney/Coughlin? If so, she clearly didn't put more than 15 minutes of work into it. I know the great Dalilah herself choreographed the horrid East of Eden short, but I seem to remember Denney/Coughlin going out to Detroit earlier this year to get this LP? Marina did choreograph Ava Maria for Yankowskas/Coughlin. ETA: Yes, in this fluff article they mention Zoueva choreographing their LP for this season.
Marina Zoueva choreographed "Ave Maria" last season and she choreographed D/C's FS (I think "Nessun Dorma" was selected for her, though). I think their "East of Eden" SP (despite the music cuts) is the better program for them this season. I hope we'll get to see a video of their Nebelhorn version since that's what won them the bronze medal in their international debut.
That lift would be good if her back more upright, and the leg on the catch foot was stretched and held higher. Right now she's hunched over and straining to catch the foot. V&T's version is slightly better, but still with similar issues. I think you need to have Cohen like flexibility to make that type of lift look good.
Question [more like pontificating] - I don't understand why a pair like this, who are pretty solid on all the big tricks - big 3twist, nice-sized throw 3z and 3l, SBS triples and double axels, big lifts, etc. - wouldn't then be able to spend a lot of time working on the finer points of beautiful skating, such as toe point, leg extension, back position, learning about relation to the music, even appropriate facial expressions. Proper mastery of the first few I mentioned would improve their GOE on several elements and lead to a jump in their scores. It seems not to be a tall task like learning a jump. And will it ever happen? I didn't see Caydee improving in these areas while with Jeremy. Nor did I see John improving with Caitlin. Is it all innate, or can it be learned?
I've seen John make small but noticeable improvements in his line/extension during his time with Caitlin (her carriage/line/extension are so good that he HAD to work hard to improve his form from mediocre to just average ) -- many fans just didn't pay attention to them in their first 3 seasons because they weren't that consistent until their last season together. I think Caydee and John are planning to work on "finer points of beautiful skating" but it will take time and much effort by both of them because neither are naturally graceful or musical skaters. I already can see Caydee making small but noticeable improvements in some of her positions so far (I agree that her lift positions still need a lot of work).
Well they've been together since, what, May? June? I can understand if they don't have the most riveting presentation at this point. I think they can surely improve in these areas with time and work, maybe with some dance and ballet classes. I don't think Caydee is ever gonna be a Gretchen Donlan or Marissa Castelli who IMO have better presentation than a lot of our top senior ladies. But can she improve her dance abilities and positioning in the lifts? Yes, I really don't see why not. (sorry if I'm parroting Sylvia, we were posting at the same time)
I question the style choice in their music and choreography. To me it emphasizes the deficiencies in their presentation. It would have been nice to see them have a different style for at least one of their programs.
Thanks for posting the link! They seem competent, but boring. I'd like to see much more excitement and energy. Sure they are working hard and not resting on their laurels as past champions with separate partners. Still, that cred is definitely an asset for them and is/has been/ will continue to be used to promote them. I admit being more in love with Evora/ Ladwig (energy, exciting lifts, unison, dedication to each other as a team, love for the sport, work ethic). E/L at 2010 Olympics were truly inspiring. D/C could possibly win me over if they were able to find and develop their own unique style with great music and choreo -- refine their technique and positions without falling back on the safe, classic Russian style of skating. I liked Denney's verve, confidence and flair when she first hit the scene -- yes, she's needed help with lines, maturity and technique, but why lose everything else that makes her sing as a skater? Ah well, that's figure skating ... conformity and political correctness is always the safest path, but not necessarily the groundbreaking, uplifting, magical moments trajectory.
The problem is that skaters and coaches seem to think that in order to demonstrate their growth in lines and musicality they have to skate to slow, boring music like Turandot, Rhapsody in Blue, Meditations, etc. I mean those music are classisc but they're so overused and they're slow.
I somewhat agree with this and forgot to mention it. Bombastic movie and opera music is NOT good for them because it requires dramatic flair that are not necessarily part of their on-ice personalities But, East of Eden is good music for them [as it is IMO for Rachael Flatt]. I think this type of soft yet potent music can 'carry' them through any artistic deficiencies. They don't have to emote or stretch too much to convey the music
Okay fair enough, but I wish they had paired this SP w/ something more dynamic in the LP. (Maybe dynamic isn't the right word.)
^^ Tend to agree with previous points made by orbitz and olympic. I might enjoy D/C more if they could find the right music and choreo that suits them and accentuates their strengths, which is not easy to do. Agree that they should have thought about varying the musical style and approach for their lp -- the sp is okay -- trying to do something similar in the lp does tend to highlight their deficiencies. I'm thinking of a brother/ sister team who made a great splash at Nats one year with some exciting, dramatic music and choreo that worked wonders for them -- can't remember their names or title of their music, alas.
Are you referring to Danielle and Steve Hartsell? They were national champions in 1999, but I couldn't find vids from nationals. 2001 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tku6ASZNutY SP http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MQoRFzqG3ek&feature=related LP
Ah, yes, thanks shan! It is the Hartsells I was thinking of -- Thanks for posting those vids. Perfect examples of finding the right music and choreo to accentuate your strengths. Skating, scoring, choreo, competition challenges maybe weren't quite as difficult then, but still the Hartsells in their dream season is a perfect example of improving by accentuating your strengths as a pair.
Not to make the thread drift, but while the Hartsells were never my favorite pair, they had speed and attack that some teams are lacking.
I can't understand why would John ditch Caitlin for Denney if they're going to continue in the same lyrical snot style he had with Yankowkas I mean, the comparisons are horrible but inevitable and with this new pair I'd have expect there was at least a void potential, if not going through a different route than the classical/lyrical stereotypical pairs stuff. There are too many international pairs much better than them in this department, imo
Yes, I thought they'd do a movie score or something bombastic and fast. I thought the whole point was to be an athletic pair, not lyrical classical wannabes when they are not. Hmm.
EYS! Is Tom Dickson still there, gone into early retirement, or simply been hit-and-miss lately with his programs? He did some great work with Savoie, Abbott, and others.
Tom Dickson. I loved the FDs he choreographed for Summersett/Gilles. Has he ever choreographed for pairs?

Thank you for saying it. Although, actually the English is surprisingly almost all grammatically correct. It's just the intonation and inflections that are way off. Somehow that's actually making it worse. |

I m rooting for Nina x Layfon but if this doesn't happen I will be satisfied with a Leerin x Layfon ending as well. BTW has Nina showed any romantic feelingsfor Layfon in the novels? I know Felli has shown that she likes Layfon, so has Meyshen and Leerin but I still don't know if Nina likes Layfon in that way

I read the first 2 volumes translated by Bakatsuki and yeah she denied it so I kept thinking that she doesnt like him that way. Thanks for the info BTW, I know Leerin kissed Layfon on the lips in LN, when he was about to leave Grendan but is it true that later in the LN Layfon kisses Leerin (not on the chheks like the anime but for real?)

I know, I also like the NinaxLayfonpairing and I felt Layfon liked Nina most out of the girls. But isn't it almost given in shounens, that even if a lead is kissed by any number of girls it doesnt matter but if the lead himself, is the one who inititates the kiss, it almost usually always in shounens seals the deal by meaning the girl being kissed is the one chosen. So I think I am on the losing side this time. But I also like Leerin so I guess its okay. I cant wait fr the nnovels to get fully translated and I think Bakatsuki is doing a great job.
Ummm. I was thinking if you could tell me how to acces the spoiler and image thread as I don't know how.Thanks |

Thanks alot.
After going through the spoiler thread, I think Nina x Layfon now has a chance of actually happening because Leerin herself seems to have realised her true feelings for Layfon and understood that she was just confusing those feelings with love and now decided she cant be with Layfon. So hope Nina x Layfon wrks out at the end but even Nina seems to be apart from Layfon as of vol 13. So what do you think? Last edited by Dark Mage; 2009-08-16 at 06:54. |

Dream Banger, Love Liver!
Layfon X Nina had the most chemistry going on during the anime. However, a couple other alternatives are at least believable in this anime.
I do think that Felli has the greatest attachment to Layfon out of all the female cast members. However, I think that her tsundere violence has genuinely turned him off a bit. One thing I'd like about Layfon X Nina ending up as the canon pairing is that: 1. The first girl that Layfon is in a romantic scene with (Mei) would not be the girl getting him. 2. The tsundere would not be getting him. Both of these are huge changes from what I'm used to seeing from anime.

yeah. this LN are very interesting. i love the plot and how the development of all character in the series. but sorry to say..honestly...i hope something different from this LN. yeah like if Layfon end up with Leerin...so the series isnt interesting anymore. the truth, I'm waiting for Layfon to realize what he truly feeling and what his heart want. not just about a girl about everything. and the thing i really want to know here was about Nina being honest to herself. she just too cute with long hair. no one can denied her beauties. how can i say...dont get mad. it just my POV.

Get information about the user with a given ID
#include <sys/types.h> #include <pwd.h> int getpwuid_r( uid_t uid, struct passwd* pwd, char* buffer, size_t bufsize, struct passwd** result );
BlackBerry 10.0.0
- uid
- The userid whose entry you want to find.
- pwd
- A pointer to a passwd structure where the function can store the entry.
- buffer
- A block of memory that the function can use to allocate storage referenced by the passwd structure. You can determine the maximum size needed for this buffer by calling sysconf() with an argument of _SC_GETPW_R_SIZE_MAX.
- bufsize
- The size of the block that buffer points to, in characters.
- result
- The address of a pointer to a passwd structure. If getpwnam_r() finds the entry, it stores a pointer to pwd in the location indicated by result; otherwise the function stores a NULL pointer there.
Use the -l c option to qcc to link against this library. This library is usually included automatically.
The getpwuid_r() function is a reentrant version of getpwuid(). It lets a process gain more knowledge about user with the given uid.
If _POSIX_THREAD_SAFE_FUNCTIONS is defined, the getpwuid_r() function updates the passwd structure pointed to by pwd and stores a pointer to that structure at the location pointed by result. The structure contains an entry from the user database with a matching uid.
The function stores a NULL pointer at the location pointed by result on error or if it can't find the requested entry.
Zero for success, or an error number.
- Insufficient storage was supplied via buffer and bufsize to contain the resulting passwd structure.
The getpwuid_r() function uses the following functions, and as a result, errno can be set to an error for any of these calls:

Cancellation point | Yes |

Ten years ago, DC Mayor Anthony Williams famously set a goal of attracting 100,000 new DC residents within a decade. Pundits scoffed, but the latest population estimates show we made it closer than most imagined possible.
The official US Census population estimate for DC in 2003 was 563,384. The latest estimate for 2013 is 646,449. That's an increase of 83,065.
In 2003, DC's population was still shrinking. It had been about 569,000 in 2002, and 572,000 in 2000. Young single people had started flocking to some parts of DC, but families leaving for the suburbs still outnumbered people moving in and being born. Halting the decline seemed possible, maybe even likely, but growing by 100,000 people in a decade seemed outrageously optimistic.
And to be fair, we didn't quite make it. 83,000 isn't 100,000. But it's awfully impressive, awfully close. Far more than just about anybody thought possible.
DC's population peaked at 802,178 in 1950, then declined for the next half century. If today's impressive growth rate continues into the future, we'll catch up and surpass the 1950 high sometime in the mid 2020s.
We'll have to keep up impressive growth to meet Mayor Gray's goal of 250,000 new residents by 2032.

Ashley Park House Nenagh, Co. Tipperary
Ashley Park House has a magical quality that is particularly appealing. The avenue winds along the shore, through deep woods of oak and beech, until–suddenly–you reach the Georgian house, surrounded by tall trees, with beautiful views over a private lake. Inside, the rooms are large, comfortable and well equipped.
The owners, Margaret Mounsey and her father Sean, run their home in a relaxed and informal way, which makes it ideal for family visits. Outside, guests like nothing more than losing themselves in the woods and gardens, or rowing around the lake and exploring the ruins of the ancient fort on the island.
Ashley Park House sits peacefully in the middle of 76 acres of beech woodland and formal gardens in the heart of County Tipperary, six miles north of the busy market town of Nenagh with its famous circular keep, on the road to Borrisokane and Birr. This beautiful 18th century country house, with its sweeping Edwardian verandas overlooking the lake, is approached through a rusticated stone arch, down a long tree-lined avenue with lovely views across Lough Ourna ('the lake of the barley'), framed by ancient ring-forts on the shore, towards Keeper Hill in the distance.
Ashley Park House was purchased by Sean Mounsey and his wife about twenty years ago, and Mr. Mounsey still lives in the house and runs it with their daughter Margaret. The house retains many of its original Georgian fittings and has been faithfully restored to its original appearance, with fine period furniture and all modern comforts, giving visitors the opportunity to appreciate truly authentic Irish country house accommodation. The main rooms are spacious and relaxing, while the large bedrooms either overlook the lake in front, or have views over a series of walled courtyards at the rear where there are hens, ducks and peafowl.
Guests are encouraged to wander through the walled gardens, along walks leading through fairy forts, beneath 300 year old trees, past the gazebo and the gardener's cottage, to pick fruit from the orchard. Or they can borrow a boat and row around the lake, perhaps trying their hand at fly fishing for trout or visiting the ruins of the fort on the island. In the immediate area there are golf courses at Nenagh and Roscrea, fly fishing for trout on Lough Derg and wonderful hill walking in the Devil's Bit and Silvermines Mountains. Ashley Park House is a true Hidden Ireland experience, right in the heart of the Irish countryside.

Johnson and DeRozan at the HAX
He still needs more bulk and definition up top but he is getting there.
Anyone know who that third guy is? The one that DeRozan said is coming to Toronto?
Basketball is a game of explosiveness. The amount of definition a guy needs is sort of unimportant, it's more how he is training and so on. Amir looks like he hasn't put on that much weight which is what he's going to have to do to become a legitimate power forward. He is going to have the same problem Bosh had with adding mass because they are so skinny and he is going to have to get a lot of work in with some power lifting to get strong enough to compete against some of the guys at the four and five.
Does anyone else find it strange that the Raptors don't see each other during the offseason? Maybe I'm not thinking right, but if I was paying someone several million dollars a year I would expect them to be working out with their team mates all summer. Maybe you can't have full practices because the roster isn't decided, but you can at least having them lifting together to build chemistry and playing two man games.
dont know about johnson being a legit pf id say hes not a starter yet and 69 210 is a little skinny playing against most pfs that are 230 or 240 but i guess he makes up for it in speed and conditioning getting up and down the court
I never said Strength didn't come from the core, just that he needed to put on weight, which you need for leverage and to get into position. Also, Powerlifting as a sport focuses primarily on the legs and core, which is why I mentioned it. It would be a very useful thing for a basketball player looking to get stronger to get involved in. Olympic style lifts would help alot too.
Starting power forwards do this thing called starting :D, and until Johnson puts some weight on and/or gets a good jump shot he will not be a starter on any team but a desperate one. I agree with you that he is a good player and I think he is very close but right now the Tim Duncan's of the league would murder him in the post. I think if he can get up to 230 or 240 like fromTOtoVAN suggested he can become a very very good player, perhaps an all star. He reminds me a lot of Josh Smith in the way he plays and that's sort of the kind of player I'm hoping for.
To clarify I am taking legitimate to mean starter.
In my opinion, I think what you see is what ya might get with him. He's not big boned like Dwight or Baby Davis, but he's still effective. Do I think he'll be an elite PF, I dunno. But with some of the rookies (in the draft) and sophmore players in his position, currently, he's not too bad. He's proven what he can do, this year, when given quality minutes. Can he be a starter? I think he can be, IN TIME.
Re: "Johnson poses topless at the HAX"
ya know, I'm not a homophobe and no offense intended, but ... this whole obsession with Johnson's physicality is starting to creep me out a bit. Just saying.
LOL @ ws511....word up!!!
Girls pose topless
Guys just go shirtless.
My vacation lasts a week or two, not 4 months. I also don't make anywhere near what a scrub in the NBA makes annually. I understand they need time off like every body else, and that they need this time to be with their families after a long season of traveling, but I think the amount of time they get is excessive. I think the team would come in much stronger if they continued to practice while the playoffs were happening. But I may be overly demanding.
It's not overly demanding, I completely agree with you. For example Sonny Weems makes nearly $800,000 for 8 months of work. Most people might make $60,000 per year, and they work the full year minus maybe 2-3 weeks. Now, players usually put in some work in the off season, but there's no requirements. Mo Pete showed up to training camp out of shape a number of times. Shaq does it every year.
Some players spend countless hours in the gym though (Bosh, Kobe, etc), honing their craft. If they're going to be doing that, fine. But if they're not at least putting in some work, then I don't feel they're living up to their contract.

Nokia Shakes Up Executive Ranks, Will Eliminate 10,000 Jobs by the End of 2013

All is not well in Nokia Land
Nokia seems to be
riding high in the U.S. with its Lumia 900 smartphone
that runs Microsoft's Windows Phone 7.5 operating system. The company is seeing high demand for its flagship smartphone on AT&T's wireless network and is reportedly in talks with Verizon to expand its market presence in the U.S.
all is not well with Nokia globally
. The company's overall smartphone market share has plunged worldwide
with the most recent figures from IDC
showing that Nokia had just 8.2 percent global smartphone market share for Q1 2012 compared to 24.7% and 29.1% for Apple and Samsung respectively.
Nokia Lumia 900
As a result of its precarious place in the worldwide phone market, Nokia is looking to make some drastic changes to put out the flames on this burning ship. Today, Nokia announced a plan of action that centers around three key goals:
Invest strongly in products and experiences that make Lumia smartphones stand out and available to more consumers;
Invest in location-based services as an area of competitive differentiation for Nokia products and extend its location-based platform to new industries; and
Improve the competitiveness and profitability of its feature phone business.
In an effort to follow through this plan, Nokia looking to its
Lumia brand of smartphones
to showcase its innovative side and reclaim market share back from industry heavyweights like Samsung and Apple. "We intend to pursue an even more focused effort on Lumia, continued innovation around our feature phones, while placing increased emphasis on our location-based services," said Stephen Elop, Nokia president and CEO. "However, we must re-shape our operating model and ensure that we create a structure that can support our competitive ambitions."
Nokia CEO Stephen Elop
Nokia is also shaking up its executive team. Effective July 1, 2012, Juha Putkiranta will become executive vice president of Operations; Timo Toikkanen will take over as executive vice president of Mobile Phones; Chris Weber will service as executive vice president of Sales and Marketing; Tuula Rytila will claim a position as senior vice president of Marketing and Chief Marketing Officer; and Susan Sheehan assume the role as senior vice president of Communications.
Executives on the way out the door effective June 30, 2012 include Jerri Devard (chief marketing officer), Mary McDowell (executive vice president of Mobile Phones), and Niklas Savander (executive vice president of Markets).
Perhaps the most drastic change, however, is Nokia's decision to eliminate 10,000 employees worldwide by the end of 2013. These job losses will come as a result of the closure of Nokia facilities in Finland, Germany, and Canada along with the streamlining of its corporate, IT, and support functions.
"These planned reductions are a difficult consequence of the intended actions we believe we must take to ensure Nokia's long-term competitive strength," added Elop. "We do not make plans that may impact our employees lightly, and as a company we will work tirelessly to ensure that those at risk are offered the support, options and advice necessary to find new opportunities."
"Then they pop up and say 'Hello, surprise! Give us your money or we will shut you down!' Screw them. Seriously, screw them. You can quote me on that." -- Newegg Chief Legal Officer Lee Cheng referencing patent trolls

STARKVILLE – John Cohen knew the offensive struggles would come.
When he took over as Mississippi State's head coach in the summer of 2008, his first order of business was building up a low-grade pitching staff. That meant Cohen's early recruiting efforts were a bit short on position players, although he tried to alleviate that somewhat by bringing in guys that could both pitch and play the field.
With most of the Ron Polk recruits out of the program now, the No. 25-ranked Bulldogs are a young and inexperienced group outside of the pitching staff, and the numbers reflect that. State is hitting .225 as a team in SEC play, which ranks last in the league.
"I felt like that would happen for sure," Cohen said of the struggles. "But again, you can win with pitching and defense. You can't win without it. If you're not really solid on the mound at this level of college baseball, you have no chance."
MSU (30-18, 12-12 SEC), which travels to No. 6 Florida this weekend, is among the league's best in pitching with a 3.24 ERA in conference games 195 strikeouts.
Offensive issues
That's helped offset many of the offensive issues, which have been exacerbated by injuries.
A breakdown of MSU's offensive numbers in 24 SEC games – 12 at home, 12 on the road – reveals some telling trends. The Bulldogs actually hit better on the road (.237) than at home (.212), but they've scored more at home (56 runs) than on the road (51).
That's due in large part to the fact that State has had 70 walks and 25 hit-by-pitches at Dudy Noble Field, versus 33 and 12, respectively, away from it.
"Walks, errors, hit batsmen essentially create big innings," Cohen said. "We preach all the statistics to our players. … Hits are important, but they're not the most critical part of the equation."
Of course, Cohen would like to see more hits. He's high on the young talent in MSU's lineup, but it's taking some of those players time to figure things out.
Dudy Noble Field plays a role in MSU's offensive output, and in the output of visiting teams. In SEC games, opponents are hitting .246 with two home runs, averaging 3.8 runs per game. MSU averages 4.5 runs per game at home.
"Really the only statistic that matters offensively is runs scored," Cohen said. "The rest of it is just conversation. When we have a little bit better performance offensively, and we are striking the ball a little bit better, I think all those numbers will go up."

Which leads rather messily onto Zinedine Zidane, who has been quoted in today's Telegraph as actually being rather relieved that he got his marching orders after slamming his rock-like head into Marco Materazzi during the World Cup final.
"It's good that Buffon signalled what I had done to the referee because it was not pretty"
"I don't know how I could have lived with it had France become world champions and I had stayed on the pitch."
With that, much coughing of the name "Thierry Henry" presumably ensued. Hence the great Z-Man said this:
"I'm certain Henry is not proud of his gesture."
