In keeping with my Bioshock review, I'll be reviewing Mass Effect without having finished the main story. There are two advantages of this approach, firstly I have played enough of the game to know why it's good, why it's bad and what the overall product feels like, secondly I haven't played enough to be dying to divulge any twists or turns of the plot and let's face it, no one wants to know what happens at the end before they even start do they? So without further ado here is my review!
Mass Effect comes along thanks to the same guys responsible for the Knights Of The Old Republic games and the influence of those two excellent games are evident throughout... in a good way. Sure there's no Star Wars this time round, there's no Jedi or Sith, no Padawans, no Force (although there is something similar) but to deny this game its roots is simply naïve. Mass Effect was an odd one for me, I saw the trailer, which many of you no doubt have done as well, and thought "that looks good". I couldn't really think much more than that because the trailer gave precisely bugger all away except that there'd be action somewhere along the line... big help, right? Even so, the game garnered a massive press following and built enough hype to float the Titanic and it was hard not to get excited about the release so I managed to get my hands on the game knowing pretty much zilch about the proceedings other than it took place in space and, presumably given its heritage, included RPG elements. Because of my almost total ignorance which I managed to remove in the first few hours of play I'll do you the courtesy of explaining the start here, though not to nearly the same extent as the game does. You play xxxxx Shepard, I say 'xxxxx' because you get to pick your own first name, I picked Mac if you're interested. You design your own facial characteristics and even pick your back story from a list of three options and your psychological profile from another three. Want to be an aggressive street thug who got into the army because you wanted away from the squalor? No problem, equally you could be a heroic army brat whose parents were in the force, it's up to you. Obviously you don't play through this but it's great to be able to choose your own history. You actually begin by going on a mission that goes a bit turbo, see your valour has grabbed the attention of an elite group known as Spectres, this group sent one of its own to monitor your performance and see if you're good enough to become one of them, and that's when the story proper begins, it's also where my description of the story proper ends because that is not what this review is about and it's not what you should be reading anyway.
The main story is good, but what sets it away from the rabble is the sheer complexity of the universe in which this game is set. The year is 2183 and mankind has entered the space age, at first we assumed we were alone but then in 2148 an ancient ruin on Mars was uncovered, something that could only have been created by another sentient being. It turns out this is a Prothean relic, Protheans being an extremely intelligent species that had died out about 50,000 years previous, kind of like the Forerunners in Halo. Protheans also set up structures at various points in the galaxy called mass relays which allow almost instantaneous travel between relays. It was these relays which allowed mankind to truly travel across the galaxy and gradually they made contact with more and more alien species. In the 'present' day humans are looked upon as a strong military force but rather cretinous and simple by comparison to the technologically superior salarians, wise asari and disciplined turians who make up the three Council races. Even though there are many games where humans are inferior it's a nice change to have them intellectually capable and fighting to become more accepted in a hierarchical structure rather than fighting for survival. The relations between humans and other races (of which there are several more than the three I just listed) are complex and interesting with most possessing a compelling and believable back story and almost everything has its own codex entry for you to peruse at your leisure. I'll allow you to imbibe the history of the universe in your own time except for a little about the quarians, simply because their story leads inexorably to the bad guys of the game. See the quarians wanted to make an Artificial Intelligence to help them with basic labour and fighting and so on, they did this and called it the 'geth' but things went a bit tits up when this AI became sentient and decided it didn't want to do the quarian's schlepping and so it initiated the war between the geth and quarians. The geth won this war and left the quarians with nothing more than a fleet of ships and so the race has remained as a gypsy civilisation that drift from system to system. What is more important though is that the geth has 'evolved' creating their own versions beyond what the quarians had envisioned for them, functioning kind of like a hive mind they get more efficient as their numbers increase, not because they get more intelligent but because their resources pool towards basic functions which allows them to devote more to advanced functions... apparently. These guys are bad, you shoot them on sight, but don't expect them to be the only bad guys. If you're after a simple shooter this isn't for you but if you want in depth stories you can't go far wrong.
Even though I could continue singing the story's praises I'll need to tell you about the other aspects of the game or this wouldn't be a very good review would it? The game is enormous, kind of. There are several clusters in which there is at least one or two systems, each system has at least one planet you can land on and explore, the thing is the layout of the structures on planets are usually the same even if the particulars are changed. Even so there are still places to explore and many, many things to do. Particularly on the Citadel which acts as the central hub for all species, built by the Protheans themselves it holds a few secrets on its own and many of its inhabitants want you to go elsewhere to help them out, you can of course choose to tell them where to go but you won't reap the benefits if you do that.
The sound is great, it's non-invasive and understated but certainly serves its purpose. The graphics on the other hand are rather a mixed bag, on the surface they're utterly beautiful, especially on the surface of certain planets, but based on several hours of play I can say that they have their downside too. Shadows are sub par, nothing to cry about but during conversations the flaws are obvious as the odd shadings dance across the faces of the people conversing. You'll also notice textures taking their time to load, once they do things look great but that delay is rather irritating.
Other elements of the game include driving sections (whilst exploring planets) and fighting. Driving is an oddity, I personally enjoy it because of the ridiculous physics but I've heard other people point that out as a negative so it really depends on the person I guess, there's no denying though that it is a relatively slow process, a faster Mako would not go amiss. Fighting is, unlike the KOTOR games, in real time which is great in my opinion. Each character gets a sniper rifle, a shotgun, an assault rifle and a pistol but you need to be a specific type of character to actually be trained in all the weapons and the same goes for your two allies you keep in tow. Generally speaking soldiers are trained in all weapons while biotics are not. Biotics is a Force like ability which allows certain individuals to manipulate the mass effect field to increase, decrease or distort the mass of a person and compensates for the lack of weapons training. It is this 'mass effect' which allows faster than light travel and a multitude of other high tech solutions and gives the game its name. I could explain more but it's too complicated for a simple review so if you're interested look in the codex, there's lots of information there.
In the course of the game you will happen across characters who become part of your group, you'll get a mixed bag such as a soldier, a biotic, a tech and then a couple more who are more of a mix of those three skills. Of course you won't be able to take all of these characters out with you, you're limited to two but that's fine, it's to be expected. Each character has their own story and it's up to you to find out what it is, or you could pretty much ignore them. It's up to you whether you're an inspirational leader, a by the books pain in the arse, a complete bastard or anything in between.
Whatever you choose you'll be needing money and omni gel. Omni gel is a universal medium which allows you to hack and decrypt things and serves various other functions while money is measured in credits. Looking through the achievements list for the game you'll see an achievement for building your personal wealth up to 1,000,000 credits, when beginning the game you'll be forgiven for thinking that's a heavy task but it won't take long until you're selling weapons for 5,000 credits each and things just go up from there. What needs improvement though is the sales interface, the only option for organisation is in terms of level, each weapon/armour has its own name followed by a Roman numeral and when buying or selling items things start with the highest number and go down, doesn't sound that bad but it makes things hard to navigate and, unfortunately, KOTOR had a much easier interface. Another annoyance is that when trying to kit your guys out by buying the latest in geth killing equipment you can only see what your current group has equipped, if you're on your own at that point you can only see your own equipment. Sounds minor but it wouldn't have taken much to include information on each team member and would have made things so much easier.
So let's sum things up now, huge, amazing, absorbing story, great gameplay mechanics, great heritage, great graphics (when they load quick enough), slightly annoying sell/buy interface, slightly repetitive side missions. Worth it? Absolutely.

An ACOA-AFSA Fusion Routing Algorithm for Underwater Wireless Sensor Network

Due to intrinsic properties of aqueous environments, routing protocols for underwater wireless sensor network (UWSN) have to cope with many challenges such as long propagation delay, bad robustness, and high energy consumption. Basic ant colony optimization algorithm (ACOA) is an intelligent heuristic algorithm which has good robustness, distributed computing and combines with other algorithms easily. But its disadvantage is that it may converge at local solution, not global solution. Artificial fish swarm algorithm (AFSA) is one kind of intelligent algorithm that can converge at global solution set quickly but has lower precision in finding global solution. Therefore we can make use of AFSA and ACOA based on idea of complementary advantages. So ACOA-AFSA fusion routing algorithm is proposed which possesses advantages of AFSA and ACOA. As fusion algorithm has aforementioned virtues, it can reduce existing routing protocols' transmission delay, energy consumption and improve routing protocols' robustness theoretically. Finally we verify the feasibility and effectiveness of fusion algorithm through a series of simulations.

Men's Armitron 408177 Review
The men's Armitron 408117 is a digital watch that's loaded with features, but some wearers report problems with settings and defaults and say the reverse-LCD display (light numbers on a dark background) is hard to read.
Armitron's 408177 digital sport watch for men includes plenty of features given its budget price, but Armitron 408177 reviews complain about a variety of irritating issues. At both Walmart and Amazon, reviews gripe about a beeping sound whenever a little button is pressed to activate a function, settings that revert to factory defaults when the light button is hit, date and time functions that reset themselves when you're trying to set the alarm, a dim display that's hard to read in daylight, inaccurate time keeping after a few weeks of use, and the loss of water resistance after a few years. A few watch reviews also report the crystal scratches easily and the colored coating over the band and case flake off. On the other hand, some users seem quite satisfied with this model. These reviews talk up the simple but attractive design (which includes a square face), the light weight, the comfortable resin strap (even in sweaty conditions), the easy set up, and, of course, the low price.
The Armitron 408177 (starting at $23, Amazon) is a digital watch with a quartz movement and a mineral crystal. It's available in several colors, including black with red accents, navy with light blue accents, and white; the resin band is perforated. This watch boasts several useful features, including an alarm, chronograph, calendar, countdown timer, lap counter, day and date display, night vision display, and a military time display. The Armitron 408177 is water resistant to 100 meters, or 330 feet.
Where to buy
This watch from Armitron is cheap enough and loaded with enough features that some people will be satisfied despite its questionable performance. However, the volume of critical Armitron 408177 reviews and the number of good cheap watches out there convinced us that this model is a non-starter.

Trainers Kathleen O'Connell and Jamie Ness shared the Trainer's title for the 2009-2010 Tampa Bay Downs season with 51 wins apiece. This is only the third time in recent recorded history that two triners have shared the season's title at Tampa Bay Downs.
Ness earned his first training title in the 2006-07 campaign and has achieved this accolade each year since. This year, the South Dakota native saddled 51 winners from 143 starters this year with purse earnings approaching $700,000.
Jockey Daniel Centeno, who has captured the Tampa Bay Downs jockey title for four years in a row, was named as top rider for the current season. The reinsman haltered 133 victories this year, Centeno recorded 132 wins. Centeno will take his tack to Monmouth Park over the summer, and plans to return to ride at Tampa when racing resumes here again in December. Centeno ended the 2009-2010 season by booting home three winners on the Closing Day card; he took his first trip to the Winner's Circle aboard Smak Dab, a four-year-old Double Honor colt owned by Ojia Stewart and trained by Kenny Flowers. Centeno struck again with Hi Time Scott, this time for Whitney Racing Stable and conditioner William Downing. Centeno got his final win of the season with Arsenal, this time for owner Lambholm Stable and trainer Roy S. Lerman.
This was Centeno's sixth meet at Tampa. He debuted here in the 2004-2005 season with a tenth-place finish in the rider standings with 32 wins from only 276 mounts; four years ago Centeno finished second in the rider standings with 72 wins from 475 rides; three years ago, the reinsman has 125 wins from 538 starts and $1,667,752 in purses. In the 2007-2008 year Centeno set the record for wins and purse earnings in a single season when he took 144 trips to the Winner's Circle and his mounts earned $2,145,528. Last year, the reinsman haltered 138 victories and earned nearly $2 million in purses. Daniel Centeno will spend the summer in the Monmouth Park riding colony.
Leading apprentice rider Kristina McManigell broke her maiden on January 7, 2010 aboard Real Stormy. McManigell, who captured 13 wins at Tampa Bay Downs, will spend her summer months at Suffolk Downs in Boston.
Midwest Thoroughbreds accepted the trophy for leading owner at Tampa Bay Downs for this season; Midwest Thoroughbreds secured 43 victories, setting a new record for number of wins for an owner in a single season.
Party of Eight took home top honors for a horse this year with five wins to her credit from six starts. The nine-year-old Evansville Slew mare is under the care of trainer David Hinsley for owner Arbywood Stable and was bred in Kentucky by Mike and Judy Crowe.
Racing resumes in December of 2010. The Silks Poker Room is open daily from 12:30 PM through 12:30 AM, and the Downs Golf Practice Facility is open on Mondays from 10:00 AM through 10:00 PM and on Tuesdays through Sundays from 8:30 AM through 10:00 PM.

A Time Period for when each state will be Projected, based on the state's poll closing times. (All times in Eastern Standard Time).
7PM - The first polls close in 6 States (GA, SC, IN, KY, VT, and VA). At exactly 7 PM, Romney will be declared the Projected winner in SC(9) and KY(8), while Obama will be declared the projected winner in VT(3). GA(16) and IN(11) will probably be declared too "EARLY" to call, but will most likely be in Romney's column by the time the next set of state polls close. VA will be too CLOSE to call. This first set of Poll closings will give Romney a 44-3 Electoral College Lead by 7:30PM EST.
7:30PM - Polls close in NC, OH, and WV. Romney will immediately be Projected the winner in WV (5). Ohio (18) will be too CLOSE to call. It will be interesting to see whether NC(15) gets classified as too "EARLY" or too "CLOSE" to call. I believe it will take about 45-60 minutes before NC gets called for Romney. So by 8PM EST, Romney will have a 49-3 Electoral College Lead.
8:00PM - Polls close in AL, CT, DE, FL, IL, ME, MD, MA, MS, MO, NH, NJ, OK, PA, RI, TN, and DC. Romney will immediately be declared the winner in AL(9), MS(6), OK(7), and TN (11). Obama will immiediately be declared the winner in CT(7), DE(3), IL (20), ME(4), MD(10), MA(11), RI(4), and DC(3). MO (10) and NJ(14) will both be initially classified as too "EARLY" to call, though I suspect the networks to call NJ(14) for Obama before 8:30 and hold off on calling MO for Romney to give the appearance of Obama catching up in the Electoral vote. PA (20), FL(29), and NH(4) all get classified as too "CLOSE" to call. So, by 8:30PM, the Electoral Count will be ROMNEY 82, and OBAMA 79
8:30PM - The time period between 8:30-9:00 should be interesting for Romney. Polls close in AR(6) where Romney will immediately be Projected the winner. It is also during this timespan that I suspect enough data will come in to call NC(15) and eventually MO (10) for Romney, though I know the networks will put it off for as long as they can. I have the NC call pegged for 8:35-845 and MO 8:50-9:00. On the other hand, I think the networks will want to get these out of the way because Romney is going to have a good 9'oclock hour. So, by 9PM, I have the Electoral Count as ROMNEY 113, OBAMA 79.
9:00PM - Polls close in AZ, CO, KS, LA, MI, MN, NE, NM, NY, SD, TX, WI, and WY. Romney will immediately be declared the Projected winner in KS(6), NE(5), SD(3), TX(38), and WY(3). Obama will be declared the Projected winner in NY(29). AZ, LA, MN, and NM will be classified as too "EARLY" to call, while CO and WI will be too CLOSE to call. Like NC, not sure if MI will get "EARLY" or "CLOSE" status and it could say a lot which terminology is used. Sometime between 9-930PM when some actual vote totals come in, Romney will be declared the winner in AZ(11) and LA(8). It will frustrate the networks that they'll have to wait on NM (5) and MN(10), but eventually (around 9:30-9:40PM) will get called for Obama. Since no polls close at 9:30, a lot of focus will be on the states back in East. VA takes about 3-3.5 hours to count without snafus. If the networks can't call it or PA before the west coast polls close, this is a good sign for Romney. By 10:00PM EST, I expect the Electoral Vote count to be ROMNEY 187 and OBAMA 123
10:00PM - Polls close in IA, MT, NV, and UT. Romney will immediately be projected the winner in UT(6). MT(3) will be classified as too "EARLY" to call, but should be in Romney's column by 10:30-10:40. NV and IA will both be classified as Too "CLOSE" to call. Again, there are no poll closings at 10:30, so focus will come back to the Eastern states. I suspect the networks will try to call MI(16) close to 11:00 to give Obama a big push when the west coast states close. Also, by this time if the networks can call PA (20) for Obama based on data in Philly and the suburban counties, they will do so by 10:50PM. These are states that wern't supposed to be hotly contested, but the spin will be that Obama is pushing back ahead with the closing of the polls in CA. By this point, I think FL(29) will be able to be called for Romney, but the networks absolutely won't do it until AFTER 11PM. By 11:00PM, I expect the Electoral Count to be ROMNEY 196, OBAMA 159
11:00PM - Polls Close in CA(55), ID(4), ND(3) HI(4), OR(7), and WA(12). Romney is immediately declared the winner in ID(4) and ND(3), while Obama is immediately declared the winner in CA(55), HI(4), and WA(12). Oregon will be classified as Too "EARLY" to call. After these immediate 11:00PM projections, the Electoral Count will be OBAMA 230, ROMNEY 203. And now you see why the networks will not call FL, VA or any other battleground looking good for Romney prior to 11:00PM.
11:30PM - The networks have no choice but to now call FL(29) for Romney. To offset Romney taking the Electoral College lead back, the networks will try to call OR(7) before or around the same time. And once the Vegas cheaters get done with their numbers, NV(6) will also be called for Obama before Midnight. By Midnight, the Electoral Count will be OBAMA 243, Romney 232.
12:00AM - Oh, you thought you would be in bed by now? The networks will try to get to midnight with an Obama lead before they are forced to call VA & NH. VA is going to be delayed by a razor thin Senate race, but it SHOULD be called by 12:00AM. NH is more spaced out so they have an excuse to go slower, but these two states when called will probably be called close together, and for Mitt Romney. This will give us ROMNEY 249, OBAMA 243. Meanwhile, reports of shananigans in OH and WI will be widespread. And because the networks love ratings, don't expect a call on these states anytime soon.
1:00AM - Polls close in AK, where Romney is immediately declared the winner. This result forces Obama to win OH or he loses the Election, so all other states become secondary. ROMNEY 252, OBAMA 249
1:30AM - CO (9) is finally called for Romney, who has a 13,000 vote lead with 99%
1:50AM - IA (6) is finally called for Obama, who has a 6,000 vote lead with 762,000 to Romney's 756,000.
This gives us ROMNEY 261, OBAMA 249 by 2:00AM
2:45AM - Obama has about a 9,000 vote lead in WI with 99%. The margin had been much closer until the final numbers from Madison and Milwaukee came in at the end. This gives us ROMNEY 261, OBAMA 259. All eyes turn to OH.
3:00AM - Romney has about a 5,000 vote lead in OH with 100% in, but the networks other than FOX won't declare him the winner. The lawyers parachute in and we get a repeat of 2000.
Official Electoral Vote Tally: ROMNEY 279, OBAMA 259
There are a number of states that can do that who've just never bothered.
I was bookmarking this until I realized that FR will be down.
Count on it.
That's interesting. Thanks for the work and for posting it.
Here's hoping NH, Iowa and Wisc go the right way and give up some breathing room for Ohio.
Another thing you've forgotten....in at least 20 major cities in swing states demands will be made to keep the polls open late because...well,you know the drill.OH,NC,VA,CO,NV are just a few states where these demands will be made.And we all know that they'll all be granted because "sympathetic" judges will already have been alerted.
Ping for election night.
I'm praying that our margins prevent the same old late night tricks from the usual places like Madison county etc.
If our (Ravi, LS, and me to a lesser extent) analysis of the early numbers hold true along with even a modest least with independents (6 points) and "undecideds" breaking 2-1 for Romney then I think the final number in Ohio will be too big for any outcome other than Romney wins.
Probably by 1:00 AM just because of network reluctance.
On the other hand I think it's very possible that RR beats zero by a few points less than the margin Walker won this last time (which was 6.8). If RR is up by even 3% after most counties have reported then no late night tricks will be enough to change the outcome IMO.
Conservatives in Wisconsin have really proved themselves and the GOP counties have gotten smarter about not letting Madison report last.
As long as NH goes our way then all the drama in the world won't change Ohio.
That would really take the wind out of their (media) sails election night.
I do however agree that if the margins end up being as close as you suggest then the evening would unfold just like you say.
But I don't think it will be that close and I'm quite confident that the media will have to call FL, VA, and CO much sooner than they would prefer.
I'm more upbeat and don't believe it will be nearly this close - in fact I believe that New York and New Jersey may be in play.
Yes I've been drinking, but I've been thinking about the impact of this storm and firmly believe it will change the way that things could progress in those states.
I also think that things are much more likely to go our way early in a number of the states - yes the alphabet media will not be inclined to report it, but if the SOSs put their numbers out on their websites they won't be able to suppress it. I have a strange feeling that the one maine district may be the first real indicator - if that goes to Mitt then it'll be a quick/short night no matter what the "calls" are.
But again...I've been drinking :)
Never post drinking. But if you do, never admit to it.
It all depends on, of course, what is really happening in IA, NH, WI, NV, and OH, and while I'm not optimistic about NV, the networks may have trouble if several of these start breaking the same way simultaneously.
I don't want to have come down to Ohio, I have a bad feeling that Obama has this cooked with phoney union bus-in votes, lost absentees, Cleveland graveyard precincts and such. That said I see Romney taking 2 out of 3 in WI, PA, IA to make Ohio moot.
That's said - among other thoughts:
"3:00AM - Romney has about a 5,000 vote lead in OH with 100% in, but the networks other than FOX won't declare him the winner. The lawyers parachute in and we get a repeat of 2000."
Tell me if there have been other developments, but the problem here is that there is a very real possibility in Ohio of 100K to 200K votes being cast as provisional ballots because of the silly practice of sending absentee ballot applications to every single Ohioan.
If you haven't followed this silliness: Because not all people who requested absentee ballots will have used them, when they show up to vote, they will only be allowed to cast a provisional ballot, which will not be opened until 10 days post the election ... it first must be established that they didn't cast an absentee ballot if they had requested one.
Personally, I believe Romney carries Ohio by 3 or more points - likely making the provisionals immaterial, but even with that, I suspect a huge number of provisionals which, were it not for the fact that Romney will have won enough electoral votes from other states, would delay the outcome and leave America in SoreLosermanian lurch.
If Romney is only up by 5000, then you can be sure that they will need to count the provisionals - I believe a wait of 10 days - since presumably the large majority are valid votes by people who had ordered absentees but never sent them in.
Am I wrong?
And Indiana and Kentucky have early poll closings. In a normal year they are projected Republican before 7:00 PM EST.
great post. lets hope that is how it goes down
Not as much as I will be drinking if they above prediction is true.
Slightly incorrect. All voters were mailed absentee ballot REQUESTS. they could send in that request to get a ballot which over 1.6 million have thus far. Only if u sent in ur request will u get a ballot otherwise u vote election day. For those who sent in their request and now have a ballot, you can vote a couple of ways. Mail it in or take it to your election site on or before election day. If u requested a ballot and dont turn it in one way or yhe pther, the only way u can vote election day is PROVISIONALLY.
Nah... it's just a little sake ... now on tuesday I'll have the scotch... still haven't decided if it's a shot per state or just for swing states... :)
AU - I'm with you, I think PA and MN could be a too close to call, but I feel like the rest may just be the election folks trying to keep their dime knowing it's a blow out.... still there are stupid people in the world and I do worry the gene pool (as the 3rd law of thermodynamics would indicate) is getting worse.
I see MI/PA/MN too close to call, NC no challenge, FL/VA early call, OH only held for effect, IA and CO go to Mitt - the early voting has been in Mitt's favor and from the signs I've seen (and I drive an hour one way each day around cleveland) it doesn't indicate any obama fever at all. That all being said my Hoosier homeland returns to it's Republican nature very early at closing.
and the answer is if your drinking and posting be proud - unlike our politicians at least everyone will nod wisely and understand :)

This is a well thought out presentation, so regardless of its accuracy, I'd at least like to commend the author for its degree of detail.
I remain hopeful, and somewhat bullish, that Romney ends up above 300 electoral votes, so the teams of lawyers landing in Columbus can all pound sand.
Project it for November 7, 2012 at 12:01 a.m. EST.
If romneybtakes PA, it's pretty much over. Hard to see him taking PA and not also taking OH.
My prediction: We won't know the winner until Nov. 18 -- and even then it will be contested by the losing side [repeat of Florida 2000]
The Ohio provisional ballots will be under lock and key...hmm...who's going to have "access" to those votes????
The Democratic machine is already working overtime to bump the # of Ohio provisional voters...the more provisional votes, the more that the state would not be called for Romney...
Also, the Dems would find all kinds of way to challenge provisional votes not being counted in the Nov. 16-17 count of them...
The MSM's gonna love the ratings...and the Obamaites will love the potential Ohio "end-runs" in play...

If Ohio can't even get access to those votes til Nov. 16, with Thanksgiving kicking in, we may be looking @ the first week of December...
Somebody can check Ohio law & see what their deadline is for confirming/verifying provisional voters.
Someone needs to do some homework either on election rules or time zones.
What I want to know is....if the MSM does NOT declare a de facto winner, and in the time following the election it is proven that MASSIVE vote fraud is occurring on the Dem side because they know they lost....what is anybody gonna DO about it?
What I'm HOPING for is such an overwhelming victory for Romney that there's no POSSIBLE way the networks can hide, spin, or obsfucate the truth. Heck...I wouldn't be shocked if some of the networks went dark rather than report a Romney win.
Is this Eastern Standard Time now or after Daylight Savings Time goes into effect this weekend?
Actually, I hope it's not that close. I hope it's a repeat of 2010. People & all these polls are stuck on 2008, but this is a different race. Remember Mclame suspended his campaign about a month from the election and didn't put up a fight in the election. He only did as well as he did because of Sarah Palin. Plus, I'm hoping all the conservatives who sat home don't make that mistake again.
What a pathetic exercise in thinking inside of the box. Sounds like parksstp has read one too many articles about how Romney can "eek out" a win.
Sorry, not buying it. All signs point to a wave election. But here's more evidence that some people are just too insecure to read the writing on the wall.
If only! This one's gonna be close...damn close.Why? Because Romney was giving out inaccurate info in that "secret" tape.It's not 47%.....it's at least 49.5%
Standard time.
Because Romney will be ahead for the first few hours, I confidently predict that the MSM will "magnanimously" refuse to call ANY states until ALL are done voting (so as not to diminish West Coast votes for Obama, of course).
Here's what I'm talking about ....
From Newsmax a few days ago (w/quotes from Ohio officials (Republicans are responsible for this one ...))
I would just say that this is a potential nightmare-in-waiting, says Blackwell.
Blackwell believes that could result in an unprecedented number of provisional ballots being filed some 250,000 or more. Such a large number of ballots being held, presumably under armed guard, for 10 days until they can be opened, would bring to mind the historic 2000 post-election battle in Florida. That recount was marked by ballot disputes and inevitably, lawsuits.
Ping for Later Thanks
The information on poll closings came from http://www.270towin.com. They have a page and set the times of state polls closing to the EST in which the last polls in that state close (if it happens to cross two time zones, like FL) which is the earliest it could be called.
They listed all closings in EST to make it simpler, so that's the model I used.
If you think this was a bad exercise, then this was probably really bad
I went county-by-county projecting the vote for Romney and Obama, basing the counties previous results on the Bush/Kerry, Strickland/Kasich, Obama/McCain, and Union question to determine the probable votes for Romney and Obama in each county. My model shows Romney by about 12,000 votes.
Here's one for Nevada. Same thing, same analyzed race data from 2004, 2008, and 2010. Obama has Romney by at least 3 points here, unless Romney does the unthinkable and runs at the same level as Sandoval, which is highly unlikely.
And then IA. By the margin of one suburb, I think Obama will survive in IA. I don't see Romney getting to 770,000 votes here, but I don't see Obama dropping below 765,000.
Texas polls close at 7pm local time. That means that only Democrat controlled El Paso and some patches of desert will be closing at 9pm eastern. The presidential race will be decided before the North Juarez come in.
Florida might be decided on the Central zone votes, but most of the polls there also close an hour earlier than the 'poll closing times' shown on the list.
I plan to verify this Tuesday night.

fashion advice! please So most of you know im going to be riding at Midwest horse fair with jimmy wofford. What do you think I should wear ? Haha im hopeless! Posted via Mobile Device |
Bump please! Posted via Mobile Device |
730 Attachment(s) Something that isn't too dark or you'll roast by the end of the day with the usual riding-post sweating and whatnot. Could you string some outfits together and take photos so we can weigh in? |
well its going to be 40degrees F and somewhat inside. i was thinking of just wearing a light blue show shirt i have tucked in but open necked |
Just look clean and professional. Make sure you're tucked and have a nice belt on. |
Do you have chaps? Those always look very good |
Chaps in an English discipline from clinics to top rated shows are unacceptable. Its boots and breeches for this girl. |
I think you would be better off with a polo, then a show shirt, but that is my personal opinion. I find they look a little bit sloppier because they aren't as structured in the neck. Tan breeches, clean boots, spotless horse and you'll be good to go! |
Defintely wear breeches and polished boots. Do not wear a show shirt, but wear a polo and a sweater. You can take the sweater off it is gets warm. Since you event, you probably wear a vest too. There are a lot of Jimmy Wofford clinics on youtube so you can see what others have worn at other clinics. |

Do you want to make Ohio.com your homepage?
XThe official word: PBS today announced CHARLIE ROSE WEEKEND (w/t), a new 30-minute series hosted by acclaimed journalist Charlie Rose, to air at 8:30 p.m. on PBS stations nationwide on Fridays. The show will launch in July 2013.
CHARLIE ROSE WEEKEND will feature the iconic television anchor's focus on the events and conversations shaping the week and the week ahead. Drawing on conversations from his nightly PBS program and new insightful perspectives from around the world, it will capture the defining moments in politics, science, business, culture, media and sports in a fresh, engaged, and smart presentation.
"PBS is my first broadcast home and I'm excited to embark on a new project that, while distinctly different in nature from CHARLIE ROSE, will build on its history and harness the possibilities of the future by a full use of technology and social media," said Rose. "We will offer a fresh look at the people shaping our lives and the questions that demand answers and context. By bringing together top newsmakers each week and engaging the audience in innovative ways, we will invite viewers to start their weekends on Friday with PBS."
"Bringing Charlie Rose to Friday nights on PBS provides a natural bridge between our Friday evening news and public affairs programming and our arts and culture programming," added Beth Hoppe, PBS Chief Programming Executive and General Manager, General Audience Programming. "In his 20 years with PBS, Charlie has become known for his broad-based curiosity and ability to connect the dots—traits he will also bring to this new show. The show promises to be a fresh, dynamic addition to our Friday night lineup, and we are thrilled to bring Charlie to primetime on PBS."
Emmy Award-winning journalist Charlie Rose has appeared nightly on PBS nationally since 1993 as host of CHARLIE ROSE, which launched on PBS station Thirteen/WNET in 1991. In 2012, he added to his daily television duties, becoming Co-Anchor of CBS THIS MORNING. Rose previously worked for CBS News from 1984–1990 as the Anchor of CBS NEWS NIGHTWATCH, the network's first late-night news broadcast, on which Rose regularly conducted one-on-one interviews with high-profile newsmakers, similar to style of his PBS show. Rose first worked with PBS in 1974 as Managing Editor of the PBS series BILL MOYERS' INTERNATIONAL REPORT, and then became Executive Producer of BILL MOYERS JOURNAL in 1975.

Passionate baristas
I am at Broadacre all the time. Seriously.. All the time. My friend Jenn and I joke that we live there, as do the baristas of Broadacre. The reason we are there so often should be apparent to anyone who goes in for a try. The environment is extremely friendly, the boys (and girl) who work there are both knowledgeable about the coffee they are making and easy to talk to. I tend to stick with plain black coffee (which is fantastic there, not burnt at all and not too hot to drink right away, and it is made to order right in front of you, kind of awesome right?) but they cater to vegans with some really great soy lattes, or even almond milk lattes. AND the chocolate that they use for hot chocolate? VEGAN. You just have to ask for soy/almond milk and you are good to go :D Doughbot doughnuts gives them vegan maple, original, and vanilla bean doughnuts. So you guys should definitely give Broadacre some business and try it out. I promise you wont be disappointed! :) and you will probably see me there... just look for two girls drinking too much coffee and laughing constantly XD
also, it deserves 5 stars but happy cow says that is not okay for non vegan restaurants. Hmph.
Pros: great coffee, vegan options galore, friendly employees
Cons: none!

The little nook that could
First of all, the vegan pastries must sell pretty well, cause there were only 2 left when I got there. They were delicious by the way. My first ever vegan doughnuts.
The Broadacre Coffee house is hard to spot if you've never been there before. It's a small little shop below and adjacent to some apartments. When I first pulled up, there was an Italian guy wearing a white wife beater and yelling at another guy from one of the apartment windows. I couldn't help but laugh.
The inside deceptively spacious. It has a very comfortable atmosphere, and there is a romantic quality to the seating arrangements. So if you want to impress, this is a great place to bring a date.

Has anyone read this book? What are your thoughts?
I'm thinking of buying it.
Also, if anyone can provide a link where I can buy it online in Euros (€), that would be much appreciated.
Many thanks!

Cardiff walled off by Amtrak double track project
Chesterfield Drive your only way to the beach
Ken Harrison 7:30 a.m., March 28
1810 West Washington Street, Mission Hills
At this Five Points hot spot, hefty helpings of flavorful carne asada and shrimp are packed into flour tortillas like a past-his-prime wrestler into fluorescent pink Spandex. It's a fitting analogy for a venue that pays equal homage to the food and wrestling culture of our neighbors to the south. Every inch of wall space from the entrance to the restrooms is plastered with mano a mano memorabilia, and hungry customers flock here at all hours, as have national TV shows such as Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives and Man v. Food. Most come for the Surfin' California, a heavyweight sea-meets-land take on a California burrito that's punched up with the addition of camarones (shrimp) and "super secret" chipotle sauce. Six house-made salsas punch up solid base flavors. Each of those spicily formidable contenders makes a good case for partaking of the variety of Mexican cervezas or American craft beers on hand.

Sure, Bahia is wedged between a 7-Eleven and a beauty-supply store, but don't write off this family-owned-since-1984 hole-in-the-wall as your average strip-mall Mexi-slop. The Ibarra family prides itself on their lard-free menu, which touts highlights such as the world's greatest chile relleno burrito (seriously), chicken flautas, menudo (pure magic on hangovers), and a nopales breakfast burrito. Their extensive low-fat vegetarian menu includes a delightful veggie 'rito on a whole-wheat tortilla and the Bahia burrito, which finds a mild green chili pepper surrounded by melted white cheese, enchilada sauce, sour cream, rice, and beans. Tender meats and flavorsome seafood round out the menu. Avoid the nachos. Bahia's mild green tomatillo salsa will change your life forever.

Try the California Best West burrito. That's juicy carne asada or chicken, diced potato, sour cream, pico de gallo, guacamole, and an acidic house red sauce on a fresh, homemade tortilla. (The tortilla recipe was reportedly bought from the original owner for $3000.) Established nearly 20 years ago, and formerly labeled Tex-Mex (don't worry, it's not), Tommy's makes huge tacos, burritos in the $5 range, and amazing rolled tacos, all prepared with 100 percent veggie oil. The salsa bar holds exceptional mild and hot reds, an invigorating tomatillo-garlic blend, and a cilantro sauce that looks and tastes like wheatgrass. Delivery is free on orders over $25. Sidewalk patio seating comes with a cool ocean breeze.

842 Market Street, East Village
Located walking distance from the Gaslamp Quarter, Valentine's clean and spacious dining room is ideal for late night (open till midnight weekdays, 2:30 a.m. on weekends), post-club munchies. Their juicy carne asada fries, California burrito, and substantial al pastor taco lend themselves well as nightcaps to the booze-filled belly. The seafood, especially shrimp, is exceptional, but steer away from veggie options, which lean toward the bland, with canned mushrooms, too-crisp produce, and heavy-handed lettuce portions. The spicy carrots are on the softer side, and, while not bad, the salsas are generic. However, most burritos go for around $5, foosball is 25 cents, and everything is made big.
— Chad Deal
Advertising itself as "mi adicción," the 16-year-old La Playita is habit-forming. Peeling paint, wall-mounted shark jaws, and a sign indicating that oysters from the Gulf Coast "may cause severe illness or even death" assert the restaurant's no-frills ambiance. Regardless, "the oyster soup saved my marriage," a regular informs me, the only gringo around. Taking a tip from the locals, I tried the mixed ceviche tostada ($5), which rivals the best of Ensenada street carts. The breaded shrimp tacos ($2.50) are first-rate, though the fish proved lackluster. Spice things up with a house chile de arbol and garlic sauce (very hot), and a slew of Tapatio's lesser-known cousins. Tecate micheladas provide bliss on sweltering Indian summer days.

737 Pearl Street suite 202, La Jolla
Touting the T-shirt slogan "Ugly, gaudy, and looks like Mexico" — a quote from a neighbor complaining in 2005 about the shop's myriad banners — Don Carlos is a well-kept hole-in-the-wall that has been a staple 'rito joint in La Jolla since 1984 and is purportedly the oldest in the area. Thirty-four types of burrito include the utilitarian Hungover (breakfast meats and eggs), Scripps (Soyrizo!), a few variations on the classic California, and what just might be the greatest shrimp burrito on the planet. They offer plenty of veggie options with no lard or chicken stock. Salsas come in smoky red, complex green, and the occasional stray bottle of Cajun Power garlic sauce. Choose from a selection of Mexican and craft beers in the bottle, and post up on the patio overlooking Pearl Street.

Ranas offers Mexico City specialties taken from the recipe books of server Alan Acosta's mother, uncle, and grandpa. In its seventh year, Ranas honors the role of cactus in traditional Mexican meals, preparing fresh nopales in-house and incorporating them into 14 of the dishes. Anticipate oddities such as peanut butter chicken, the superspicy Entomatado Pork, slow-cooked in roasted tomatillo chili sauce with nopales, and a green-pumpkin-seed mole that Alan says "contains about 25 ingredients." Local white and blue corn tortillas define a whole new echelon of quesadilla stuffed with sautéed black mushrooms and zucchini blossoms. The creamy chipotle is the best in town. Have a michelada on the patio and enjoy the view of Mount Helix.

Mariscos German (lonchería trucks)
Mariscos German is known for its San Felipe–like fish tacos, but try the fish and shrimp burritos. If you've been looking for seafood crisply fried in a tempura-like batter, loaded with cabbage and a tangy Mexican white sauce (not tartar), and stuffed to overflowing in a fresh, chewy, yet supple flour tortilla, these big boys are your ticket. The salsa lends a smoky, piquant note, but watch out for the pink stuff in the squirt bottle — it'll make your mouth catch fire. Some trucks have stools or plastic chairs for customers. If you stay to eat, the dripping sauce lands in a parking lot rather than in your lap, and you can strike up conversations with folks from the neighborhood.

Davos Versus TED. Which Conference Has The Answers To Today's Crisis?
byAs the World Economic Forum in Davos closed down on Sunday, hundreds of participants hurried to jump on planes to fly to the West Coast to attend that other great global conference of our time, TED. In fact, there was elbowing among many to get on the "Google plane," that 757 owned by Google that was flying directly to California. Hey, think of that smaller carbon footprint if you could hitch a ride, right?
If you are looking to solutions to the current socio-economic and increasingly political global crisis we find ourselves in, I think TED may have more answers than Davos. Why? There was a major disjuncture in Davos between the problem people and the solution people. Most of the big conference hall talks and sessions were taken up by established economists and government people framing the crisis in traditional categories. Too much leverage. Too much greed. Need big government spending. Need big government regulation. It was the flipside to the conventional wisdom of recent decades that said markets are perfect and efficient and government is stupid and bad. The conversation was all so 20th century.
At the same time, a Third Way was being framed in dozens of little sessions going on in innovation and design at Davos. They were framing problems and solutions in much more 21st ways. These conversations used social media, open sourcing and design thinking to promote new ways of thinking about old problems—and new solutions as well. Jeff Jarvis ran a couple on open collaboration that helped people learn how to use modern tools of organization to create new banking forms.
The most important, however was a small session where Hilary Cottam of Participle presented her work on designing large-scale public projects that address the major social issues of the day through social networking and without massive welfare state, government intervention. I will focus more deeply on Cottam's use of design thinking is solving social problems in the UK and its application to the US in the future. Right now, here are her 5 core principles: "A shift from: Needs to Capabilities Targeted to Open to All Financial Focus to a Resource Focus Centralised Institutions to Distributed Networks Individual to Social Networks"
While the little room was packed for Hilary's presentation, it still amount to a tiny fraction of the audience for the big discussions on economics and politics going on in the Conference Hall where silver-haired men and a few women talked about the growing crisis in 20th century terms they were familiar with. Boring. There is a great essay on this by Steve Adler, editor in chief of Business Week online right now.
The TED conference is Hilary Cottam's frame writ large. The entire conversation of the conference is framed in The New and how it can solve social and economic problems with fresh solutions. It is not about how much government money to spend on repairing roads but what kind of policy can promote entrepreneurship, startups, green technology, and people-focussed, social media-based. TED is about Innovation Economics, not Conventional Economics.
And while I applaud the creation of the Young Global Leaders network in Davos—a network that really works to generate companies, growth and jobs—it is TED that as a whole celebrates what the US and the world needs the most right now. That's fresh eyes and fresh solutions to worsening socio-economic problems.
It is now too dangerous for politicians and policy-makers NOT to embrace the powerful Third Way of Design and innovation.

Fungus has won again. Drat.
Sorry that my first picture sharing effort to revive this forum is of fungus, haha. Third time my Beercan has contracted it.
First time, I bought the lens as-is, and upon taking it apart (Thanks P. Ganzel!) I found both oily blades and fungus. I cleaned both and slapped it back together. After fine-tuning, this was/is a great copy. Very little PF/CA/etc. and tack sharp at f/4.
Second time, fungus came back. This time I ultrasonically cleaned every bit that I could. I also wiped every surface I could with disinfectant, re-greased and done. That was 4 years ago.
Now, I just so happened to be shooting in the sun and was about to swap for it when I saw it. My eye caught the perfect angle and here it is again.
I give up. A professional cleaning could be up to the cost of a new one, perhaps more since it appears that the fungus may be inside the sealed elements. Taking it apart and re-calibrating it is an all day job.
I guess I will shoot it 'til it dies. It is spending a week getting a sun tan and then it's the last hurrah.
p.s. - Yes, it's separate from the my other lenses. No, *so far* no other lenses exhibit even a trace of fungus. Yes, there were silica packs in my bag and my cabinet.
Just a Maxxum, an Alpha, and crossed fingers.

Burnett embarrassed by Game 5 outing
Pitching on short rest, righty allows six runs on four hits
By Anthony DiComo / MLB.com
"I try not to think about it too much, but you can't help it," Burnett said. "I had a chance to do something special tonight, and I failed. I let a lot of guys in here down and I let a city down."
He couldn't throw strikes. He couldn't throw curveballs -- not good ones, anyway. Worst of all, though, Burnett could not keep his team in the game.
Much as he did in his Game 5 start in the American League Championship Series in Anaheim, Burnett faltered in the first inning Monday, allowing the Phillies to rattle his pitches all over the park. But unlike in that game, Burnett never settled down, instead walking off the mound in the third.
Burnett lasted just two-plus innings Monday, pitching to four batters in the third inning before manager Joe Girardi came to remove him. The right-hander spent the next seven innings harping on the outing, considering all that went wrong. And he will do the same for the next two days, until the Yankees and Phillies meet again in the Bronx.
"You've got to take it hard," Burnett said. "It was no one else's fault but mine out there tonight. It was embarrassing."
After Jimmy Rollins led off the first inning with a single and Burnett hit Shane Victorino on the right hand with a pitch, the right-hander grooved a fastball down the middle of the plate, several inches to the left of catcher Jose Molina's target.
Chase Utley, the hottest hitter on either team, blasted it into the right-field seats for a three-run homer.
Then, after Burnett navigated through a scoreless second, he took the mound in the third inning and walked the first two batters he faced. Back-to-back RBI singles from Jayson Werth and Raul Ibanez ended Burnett's night.
Long odds on short rest
Year | GS | W-L | IP | ERA |
2009 | 3 | 1-1 | 16 2/3 | 5.40 |

Totals | 88 | 21-35 | 475 | 4.68 |
Reliever David Robertson marched out of the bullpen and put an end to the inning, but not before allowing Werth to score on a fielder's choice by Carlos Ruiz. And the result was this line for Burnett: two-plus innings, six earned runs, four hits, four walks and two strikeouts. And one sullen pitcher.
"I just couldn't get the ball where I wanted to," Burnett said. "Everything was up. I had no hook tonight. Strike one is huge, no matter who you are. But especially against a lineup like that, you've got to get ahead, and I didn't do that. That's the bottom line."
Of the 15 batters Burnett faced, he threw first-pitch strikes to 10 of them.
The carnage complete, both he and Girardi insisted that the poor outing had nothing to do with the fact that Burnett, for the first time this season, was pitching on short rest. Burnett insisted that he felt fine warming up in the bullpen, with control of his fastball and breaking pitches. But none of that translated onto the mound, and Burnett wound up losing for the first time in his career when pitching on three days' rest.
"If we would have pitched today, we probably would have won," Girardi said. "That's the bottom line. A.J. struggled today. He felt good, he just struggled today. That's something that happens in the game of baseball."
In Burnett's eyes, the outing was even more disappointing due to the fact that the Yankees charged back in the later innings, twice putting the tying run on base in the ninth. But playing from behind all game exhausted them. The comeback never reached a climax.
"That happens sometimes," outfielder Johnny Damon said. "And when that happens, as a pitcher, you hope to limit the damage. Unfortunately, he wasn't able to. But he's been big for us all year, and this team has always been able to pick guys up, so hopefully we can pick him up."
Burnett thought that picking up teammates was supposed to be his job. Now, it will fall to someone else.
"I just felt like I let a bunch of guys down," he said. "It's the worst feeling in the world to have a chance to do something special and fail like that."

Free Legal Help for Arkansas Storm Victims
Little Rock, Arkansas -
LITTLE ROCK, AR (News release) - A toll-free legal aid line is now available for victims of the state's recently declared disaster areas in Faulkner, Pulaski, Randolph and White counties. The service, which allows callers to request the assistance of a lawyer, is a partnership between the Arkansas Bar Association and its Young Lawyers Section, the American Bar Association Young Lawyers Division and the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
Victims facing legal issues who are unable to afford a lawyer may call (844) 344-7904 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. central time Monday through Friday to request assistance. Messages can be left at any time. Callers should identify that they are seeking disaster-related legal assistance. Victims who qualify for assistance will be matched with Arkansas lawyers who have volunteered to provide free legal help.
The type of legal assistance available includes:
- Assistance with securing FEMA and other government benefits available to disaster victims
- Assistance with life, medical and property insurance claims
- Help with home repair contracts and contractors
- Replacement of wills and other important legal documents destroyed in the disaster
- Assisting in consumer protection matters, remedies and procedures
- Counseling on mortgage-foreclosure problems
- Counseling on landlord-tenant problems
When the President declares a major disaster, FEMA, in cooperation with the American Bar Association Young Lawyers Division, establishes a toll-free number for disaster victims to request legal assistance. Funding for the toll-free line comes from FEMA under the authority of Section 415 of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (Public Law 100-707). The American Bar Association Young Lawyers Division in turn partners with state bar associations and other legal organizations to recruit volunteer lawyers in affected areas to handle victims' cases.
Victims should be aware that there are some limitations on disaster legal services. For example, assistance is not available for cases that will produce a fee (i.e., those cases where attorneys are paid part of the settlement by the court). Such cases are referred to a local lawyer referral service. To determine whether an issue qualifies for free legal assistance, individuals should call (844) 344-7904 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. central time Monday through Friday for more information.
Partnership Members
The following organizations have joined forces to establish a toll-free phone line for Arkansas disaster victims to request free legal assistance and to provide volunteer attorneys to handle cases arising from recent severe storm, tornado and flooding damage:
- American Bar Association Young Lawyers Division - The ABA YLD, the largest national organization of young lawyers, provides leadership in serving the public and the profession, and promotes excellence and fulfillment in the practice of law. Its parent organization, the ABA, is the national voice of the legal profession and the largest voluntary professional membership group in the world.
- Arkansas Bar Association - The Arkansas Bar Association is a voluntary, statewide organization with over 5,000 members. Among its purposes are the advancement of the administration of justice and the fostering among its members of high ideals of integrity, learning and public service.
- Federal Emergency Management Agency - FEMA coordinates the federal government's role in preparing for, preventing, mitigating the effects of, responding to, and recovering from all domestic disasters, whether natural or man-made, including acts of terror. Through an agreement with the American Bar Association, FEMA underwrites the cost of operating toll free legal assistance lines for victims in areas designated as federal disaster sites.

Injured local man back in Canada
Richard Bay, a Kimberley man severely injured when a bus hit the motorcycle he was riding in Honduras made it home just before midnight Friday, and was admitted to Foothills Hospital.
"He went for surgery on Saturday afternoon and is doing great," said Lisa Bay.
Richard had a shattered leg, a chunk of his calf was missing, as well as a broken hand and injured shoulder as a result of the accident, but found out that his travel insurance had run out.
"Redneck days was held recently and raised over $7,500. Thank you Richard France and everyone who helped make the event a success! This will put our total at over $33,000," said Lisa. "It's looking like our total expenses are running around $75,000 including medical bills, and transportation. We as a family would like to thank the community for supporting us, Richard has a long road ahead of him, and we appreciate all the kindness and love that has been sent our way. The care he is receiving in Calgary is amazing and we are very hopeful that Richard will recover fast. His spirits are high and he is looking forward to having visitors!"
