Avoiding Legal Nuances in UK: Personal & Business Cases
Perhaps, the best tip for EU citizens would be avoiding ever having to sue in the United Kingdom: as an option, signing contracts or cooperating with firms on the basis of German jurisdiction. The legal process in Britain is quite complicated, especially for foreign businesses and way more expensive than in continental Europe. If initiating the process in England is inevitable, you may find the following sources of information helpful.
The first overview can be found on the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs portal (be ready for some outdated and broken links). If you are fluent in English you can also drop in at a state public information hub, direct.gov.uk. Another summary (also in English) is published in the official information sheet EX301: 'I'm in a dispute, what can I do?'. The subject of court costs is covered in the EX50 Leaflet available in PDF. Those looking to plunge into details can get acquainted with the legislation using an official 200-page commentary on the English procedural law, the Chancery Guide 2013. Frankly speaking, this one is too hard to digest.
The court costs are relatively low and therefore they are not the real hurdle. More problematic are the lawyer's fees. In contrast to Germany, there is no binding on Lawyers' fees in England. English solicitors and barristers (the actual trial lawyers) generally charge you on an hourly basis. But there are also the options of fixed fee and even banned in Germany no win no fee.
The hourly rate of a junior/mid attorney starts from 90 GBP, in most cases (especially in London) is significantly higher (in larger firms the range may easily go far beyond 300 GBP). Another difference from the German legal system is that in England, the unsuccessful is obliged to cover the legal costs of the other side in virtually all the cases. In no win no fee system even if the claimant wins, the legal fees may still be due to pay – we recommend to look through the hidden agendas of that option in the no win no fee general principles article. Actually, UK law is full of tricky cases, the comprehensive view is the English Civil Procedure Rules.
The no win no fee system is a decent legal instrument for common people: thus, those who don't have access to costly legal instruments may resort to the accident in case of whiplash accidents and personal injuries. Forster Dean is one of the most prominent UK no win no fee agencies with numerous offices throughout the country:
- Birkenhead (Wirral)
- Chorley (Lancashire)
- Crewe (Cheshire)
- Eccles (Greater Manchester)
- Ellesmere Port (Cheshire)
- Hanley (Staffordshire)
- Harpurhey (Greater Manchester)
- Leigh (Greater Manchester)
- Liverpool
- Liverpool (Bootle)
- Liverpool (County Road, Walton)
- Liverpool (Huyton)
- Liverpool (Old Swan)
- Liverpool (Tuebrook)
- Newcastle-under-Lyme (Staffordshire)
- Oldham (Greater Manchester)
- Preston (Lancashire)
- Rochdale (Greater Manchester)
- Runcorn (Cheshire)
- St Helens (Merseyside)
- Stafford (Staffordshire)
- Stockport (Cheshire)
- Walsall (West Midlands)
- Warrington (Cheshire)
- Widnes (Cheshire)
- Widnes – Conveyancing Department (Cheshire)
- Wigan (Greater Manchester)
However, the access to the legal tool is the prerogative of UK residents, so it is a no option for EU citizens.However, if you are looking for solutions for EU citizens in the UK you can check Solicitors Guru, a database of legal companeies focusing on a broad variety of services.Read more

One disadvantage it has is that the user has to fold the pouch to make a hand guard when opening cans or using the screwdriver. Folded, it covers the saw teeth adequately to protect the user's hand in both activities.
Since the tool and pouch weigh only 1.2 oz (35g) and measure 1-3/4" x 2-3/4" (45mm x 69mm), they are not a packsack burden.

Serie A: Matchday 11 Round-up
Juve and Napoli won by one-goal margins against Parma and Catania respectively while Milan continued their dismal run of form against a Cuadrado-less Fiorentina.
Roma's perfect start to the season ended in Turin against the Granata, whilst Lazio were handed their fourth defeat of the season against Genoa.
Parma 0-1 Juventus
Juve managed to grind out a win against a resilient Parma at the Tardini. Pogba's goal thirteen minutes from time proved to be the winner in a game where chances were seldom. This win leaves La Vecchia Signora three points behind the leaders Roma in third place. As for Donadoni's men, the Crociati remain on 12 points, 13th in the table.
Milan 0-2 Fiorentina
The dismal run continues. The Rossoneri have been handed their fifth loss of the season against a Cuadrado-less Fiorentina. The Viola were well on top, applying lots of pressure to the sterile Milan.
Vargas broke the deadlock with a deflected free-kick in the 27th minute, Borja Valero then doubled the Viola's lead in the 73rd minute. Montella's men bounced back from the home defeat at the hands of Napoli, while Milan are still struggling. This win leaves the Viola on 21 points in sixth, while the Rossoneri remain on 12 points in 11th.
Napoli 2-1 Catania
The southern Italians went head-to-head, both with very different objectives. The Partenopei were hoping to close the gap on Roma, whilst the Sicilians were hoping for a result at the San Paolo to push them out of the relegation zone.
The Neapolitans were victorious in the end, with cracking goals from Callejón and Hamšik. Credit to Catania though, they put up a really good fight. Napoli remain in second, on the same points as Juventus, but are far superior on goal difference. The Rossazzurri however, are in the Relegation Zone (19th) on 6 points.
Livorno 1-0 Atalanta
A vital three points for the Amaranto in the early kick-off. It's this time of the year where fixtures get tough. Davide Nicola was fuming on the touchline for a simple reason: Livorno's upcoming five matches include Inter, Juventus, Milan and Lazio.
Paulinho's fantastic finish decided the encounter, a game where Atalanta were abysmal. Livorno are now on 12 points in 14th place, Atalanta on 13 in 9th.
Lazio 0-2 Genoa.
Further struggles for Petković's men, this time against Genoa. Il Grifone are faring really well under Gasperini, who returned for his second spell. Goals from Kucka and Gilardino (penalty) handed Gasperini's third win in five games. Lazio remain on 15 points in 7th place, while Genoa climb to 8th in the standings.
Sampdoria 3-4 Sassuolo.
If the red side of Genoa are flying high under Gasperini, the blue side are in jeopardy. As for newcomers Sassuolo, they're beginning to improve significantly after their horrendous start to the season.
What makes this game even more special and bizarre at the same time is the hat-trick of 19 year old Domenico Berardi (on loan from Juve), and the overall flow of the game at the Marassi. Samp took the lead early through Pozzi, before Sassuolo equalised and eventually made it 1-2, both through Berardi.
When Floro Flores added insult to injury with a great finish, the game looked done and dusted in favour of the Emilia-Romagna outfit. However, Samp equalised through Éder and De Silvestri. Just as the game was heading for a draw, De Silvestri went from 'hero to zero'.
The Sampdoria man fouled Farias in the area, Berardi stepped up and scored his second penalty. Final Score: Samp 3-4 Sassuolo. The win, albeit important, was not enough for them to get out of trouble. Verdict: Samp 17th, Sassuolo 18th, both on nine points.
Udinese 0-3 Inter.
Comfortable win for Mazzarri, more trouble for Guidolin. In recent years the Udinese/Inter game would be a spectacle, something to look forward to. However, in the 13/14 season that isn't the case - Udinese are a small portion of what they used to be.
It's axiomatic that they aren't regarded as a feared behemoth anymore. Palacio opened the scoring with a really good header, Ranocchia doubled the Nerazzuri's lead with volley, and Ricky Álvarez finished the game off in injury time. Inter are now on 22 points in fourth, while Udinese are 10th on thirteen points.
Hellas Verona 2-1 Cagliari.
The Gialloblu are flying high, swimming with the big boys. Returning to the Serie A for the first time in 11 years, Verona are proving to us all that they intend to stay there. This time the 84/85 champions' prey were Sardinian outfit Cagliari.
Goals from Toni and Janković decided the encounter, which meant that Conti's injury time strike proved to be a consolation for the Rossoblu. Verona's victory leaves them on 22 points in fifth, 10 goals behind Inter, and one point ahead of Fiorentina.
Torino 1-1 Roma.
Roma couldn't make it 11/11 when they met Torino in Sunday's late night kick-off. Alessio Cerci's equaliser cancelled out Strootman's opener in a game where Ventura and Torino showed courage.
Cerci was unplayable - taking on players, and dominating that right-hand side. The draw cuts Roma's lead at the top of the table to only three points, while Torino are on 12 points in 12th.
Bologna 0-0 Chievo.
The Monday night kick-off at the Renato Dell'Ara proved to be a tactical affair. The game produced only four shots on target, and few chances.
Both Rioli and Sannino didn't want to risk losing the game, for similar reasons. The draw however couldn't help Sannino and his side at all, they remain in last place with only five points. On the other hand, Bologna are in 16th with 10 points.

'Mattress Mack' tweets after heart procedure
Houston's furniture king Jim McIngvale, known to his fans as "Mattress Mack," tweeted on Thursday after undergoing a heart procedure at St. Luke's Hospital.
Well wishes flooded his Twitter page after he tweeted, "I had a procedure on my heart today @ the TX Heart Ins. @ St. Luke's for a condition called PFO. Looking fwd to getting back to work soon."
McIngvale has more than 3,000 followers on the social networking site.
PFO, or patent foramen ovale, is a hole in the heart that fails to heal on its own. If untreated, it could lead to a stroke.
McIngvale, 62, founded Gallery Furniture in 1981. It's a top-selling store made famous by his TV commercials and has two locations in town, on the North Freeway and in the Galleria area.
His older brother, George, suffered from severe heart disease. He received a heart pump, but died in December 2008.
Jim McIngvale and his wife, Linda, are leading contributors to the Texas Heart Institute and donated $2.1 million to bring Australian inventor Daniel Timms and his revolutionary artificial heart to Houston.

ANGLETON – Three people who came upon a crash scene in Brazoria County where two children were killed by a drunken driver say they heard gunfire moments later.
None of them, though, say they saw anyone at the scene with a gun.
They testified Thursday inside a packed courtroom during the trial of David Barajas, who is charged with murder in the shooting death of 20-year-old Jose Banda in December 2012. Barajas' two boys, 11-year-old Caleb and 12-year-old David Jr., were killed when Banda rear-ended their father's truck.
Shortly after the crash, 911 operators received calls about gunshots fired, and authorities later found Banda slain in the front seat of his Chevrolet Malibu.
Later Thursday, Barajas' attorney, Sam Cammack, would try to place another man in the Malibu with Banda.
Two of the witnesses, William Taylor Duncan, 17, and Landon Lain, 18, testified they saw the crash while driving home together that night. They pulled over when flagged down for help by a man saying his son had been hit.
"(He said) 'Call the police, my kid has been hit, make sure they don't leave,'" Duncan told jurors. He said he believed the man was referring to any occupants in the Malibu.
Lain said he then drove his vehicle in between Barajas' Ford 250 truck and Banda's car before the teens got out.
On a 911 recording of call from Lain, he can be heard telling a dispatcher he heard a gunshot before the line disconnects.
Duncan told jurors he stood a few feet in front of Banda's car. Lain said he was also in front of Banda's car.
Each teen told jurors the man who flagged them down, asking them to help his children, was not at the crash site for about three minutes. They say he later returned and approached the Malibu.
The teens testified they later heard a gunshot, but neither say they saw anyone with a weapon.
The teens said they got scared after hearing the shots and left the scene. They returned later that night with Lain's father.
Another witness who came upon the crash was Tammy Archuleta, a cafeteria cook at the same school attended by the Barajas siblings.
She was on her way home when she came upon the wreck. Archuleta saw a man, who appeared angry. However, she could not identity him as Barajas.
Archuleta also told jurors she heard gunfire minutes after she arrived, but her back was to the crash site and she did not see anyone with a weapon.
Prosecutors also called Steven Wilson, a cousin of Banda. Wilson told jurors he had been drinking with Banda and another cousin, Gerardo Tellez, and Banda's half-brother, Antonio Rodriguez, before the crash.

Hi there, my friend Jen Agosta designed a fancy new site for us with a shopping cart and everything. There's still good info. on this site but you will find all this and more on the new one. I will not post here any more after today. See you at www.urbancheesecraft.com!
Thank you friends, Claudia
We get asked how we started this venture often. I always think, how does anything start? You learn about this, move on to that, end up at something that lasts. It's kinda long but here's the story:
After researching and learning lots about making our food from local ingredients, we were inspired to make our own cheese. When we tried to find local cheese making supplies though, we had no luck.
This is Portland, Oregon- the capital of D.I.Y.! How could this be?! We were determined to learn despite this bummer so we begrudgingly purchased supplies from faraway sources on the Internet. We tried to follow recipes online but were overwhelmed by the complexity and the special equipment we seemed to need to get started (calibrated presses, humidity gauges, acidity testers oh my!).
With the knowledge that people have been making cheese for thousands of years with simple recipes and without fancy equipment, we persevered. After endless (still learning!) late nights of weeding through lots of info. we understood that there are many, many fresh cheeses that do not require aging and that we can make at home with little or no special equipment. We tried many, shared them with friends at gatherings and enjoyed the oohs, ahhs and questions.
We thought more people would be happy to have this skill, so we decided to make it easier for others to get started making and enjoying their own homemade cheese too.
We researched wholesalers, tested recipes, sourced quality supplies in the west coast (for the most part- we're always striving for closer and closer suppliers) to create simple kits for fresh cheeses; no cows of your own or long-term aging required. This means you can buy a gallon of milk at the grocery store and be eating your own fresh cheese within an hour! This amazed us too and we want to spread the word. Making fresh cheeses is a simple skill that has been somewhat lost in the past few decades of quantity over quality and we'd like to help it get back into kitchens- even city kitchens where we don't have space for bulky equipment (or cows- though in Portland we can have goats, yay!).
Our easy-to-follow instructions and affordable kits and supplies make it simple for cheese making novices to get started. There's a low investment in time and cost but high reward in self-sufficiency and quality!
In less than an hour you can enjoy fresh mozzarella, ricotta, queso blanco, goat cheese and more- made in your very own kitchen, using the milk of your choice. Try it and you won't believe you didn't do it sooner. As we learn, we will teach, so look for more kits in the future. Happy cheese making! Claudia

More treasures available from Goldmine Trash <3. A gal can never have enough clothes, right?
I usually don't stock separates, but I'm a sucker for a great novelty print. Therefore I couldn't say no to this! Lady Veshoevius, I'm looking at you.
Spanish dancers and bullfighters. Whatever the Spanish word for 'swoon' is can be inserted here.
Again with the novelty print thing. This thing is
bat bird shit insane! 40s inspired 70s 2pc dress set in the most amazing/eye gouging bird print known to man. Natrurally, it sold in an instant. I'm including it in this post for your gawking pleasure though.
70s chic = all over this spring/summer = I found your new favorite dress. Beautiful and goes with everything.
This Courreges inspired cutie gives off a…. medical…. vibe. Blame it on the Stendhal syndrome.
Barber pole beauty! If it's color blocked, count me in.
For lucks sake we'll call it a horseshoe print. 1940s, rayon, larger size, pristine condition – sounds like a winning streak to me.
Mad Men a la Mode. The perfect lil atomic age dress for everyday wear. Go shopping, cook dinner, and plunge the toilet IN STYLE. It's all good, girl.
House of Trash strikes again! I have 60 yards of this fabric. Isn't it fab? This is the perfect dress for Viva Las Vegas. It's appropriate for a wearing to a car show, but would make quite a statement as you dance the night away too.
This was made from an authentic 50s sewing pattern – which I tweaked to incorporate some 50s Hollywood meets Hawaiian style flair. Strapless, balcony bustline, rouching, boned for support, and sporting a full circle skirt : D.
I love the mid century influenced wood grain print. The sort of wood grain which leaves you intoxicated on an aesthetic level.
Didn't see this one coming, did ya? Another House of Trash masterpiece made by me!
This thing is so structural that it can stand up on it's own. This was fashioned from the same vintage pattern as the tiki dress above, but was also tweaked to have a style all it's own.
Once again you get a strapless bodice w/ balcony bustline, only this one is accentuated with ruffles. And the front overlay has a dramatic 'm' shape which resembles a (holy smokes!) Batman mask. It's double boned at the sides, and has a full circle skirt.
Made of a jet black vinyl which is textured and crinkled. It's lightly lined with cotton too.
Cecil Beaton said it best "Be daring, be different, be impractical, be anything that will assert integrity of purpose and imaginative vision against the play-it-safers, the creatures of the commonplace, the slaves of the ordinary."
My friend Allison (a real life Blair 'evil dictator of taste' Waldorf) pointed out that the bodice is similar to the one on the Vivienne Westwood wedding dress. Ya know, the one Carrie Bradshaw wore in the Sex and the City movie. I never made that connection until now.
Spot on. Allison is the expert!
Like it? Snag it here.
Many more beauties are on the way soon. House of Trash has some major tricks up it's sleeve. Plus there's piles upon piles of vintage waiting to be photographed : D.

NEW YORK — Zach Randolph had 16 points and 14 rebounds, Marc Gasol scored 14 points and the Memphis Grizzlies won their seventh straight game, 76-72 over the Nets on Sunday night.
NEW YORK — Ever since trading top scorer Rudy Gay, the Memphis Grizzlies have shown they can still put up some points.
Heading into Sunday night's game in Brooklyn, Grizzlies head coach Lionel Hollins had a feeling his team would slow things down a bit with their defensive effort leading the way.
Zach Randolph had 16 points and 14 rebounds, Marc Gasol scored 14 points and the Grizzlies won their seventh straight game, 76-72 over the Nets.
"The key was our defense. I said to people before the game that the way Brooklyn plays and we play, it could be 76-70 and it was pretty close," Hollins said.
"We stopped Brooklyn five times in a row. We then make the free throws, go up and then we continued to get stops."
Two of those free throws Hollins was possibly referring to were critical and sent Brooklyn to its second straight loss, both without Joe Johnson, the team's second-leading scorer.
Tony Allen chipped in 12 points, including two free throws with 19.5 seconds left to give Memphis a 74-72 lead. Allen was originally credited with a basket after Brooklyn's MarShon Brooks was called for goaltending. After the referees looked over replays they switched their call and gave Allen two shots after he was grabbed by Nets forward Mirza Teletovic on the field goal attempt.
The referees made another questionable call before Allen's free throws.
With 26.9 seconds remaining, Deron Williams drove toward the rim and was met by Randolph with Allen trailing behind. As Williams was about to attempt his shot, replays showed Allen fouling Williams from behind, with Randolph also contesting the shot.
Williams said afterward that he thought he was fouled, while Allen called it a good defensive play.
"Down the stretch of the game I just had my antennas up and was ready to be aggressive. I forced Deron to the big man (Randolph) on their last possession and I thank Zach for being there to stop his angle," Allen said.
"Once he cocked the ball back, I was able to get my hand on the ball. Then I was able to finish at the free throw line."
Williams, who led Brooklyn with 24 points, fell hard on the arena floor, grabbed his lower left leg and ran up the court despite a noticeable limp. Williams got kicked in the calf and said he was sore but good to go in the team's next game Tuesday at New Orleans.
The Nets point guard has been playing through a bevy of injuries this season that has kept him out of a few games yet he tried to do everything he could with his backcourt mate Johnson out due to a sore left heel.
"I got fouled up top and down low," Williams said. "I drove to the lane. I got fouled."
Memphis' defense held the Nets without any points and baskets made down the stretch with less than three minutes remaining.
Brooklyn had a 72-67 lead after Teletovic's fade away jumper with 2:50 left but the Grizzlies quickly tied it. Prince hit a 3-pointer with 2:31 remaining to make it 72-70. After Gasol blocked Andray Blatche's shot and Teletovic missed a 3-pointer, Conley hit a 19-foot shot with 1:18 left to tie it, 72-72. Brooklyn then missed two more shots as Brook's turnaround jumper was off the rim and then Allen made his game-changing play, blocking Williams' attempt.
"It was disappointing. We worked that hard," Nets interim head coach P.J. Carlesimo said.
"I thought Deron did a great job taking the ball to the basket."
Brooklyn had a chance to tie it with 10.9 seconds left, but Williams turned the ball over as he attempted to pass it to Teletovic but the pass was picked off by Tayshaun Prince. Williams then fouled Mike Conley, who sealed it with a pair of free throws.
"I think it says a lot to get this win. I think this was a test game to see if we are playing well or not," Conley said. "To come in and beat a very good team in their home court says a lot about our integrity and our ability to step up in big games."
After Carlesimo ended his postgame news conference, some players left without addressing the media. Nets general manager Billy King walked alongside Brook Lopez and Blatche. King commented that the players would not be stopping in the hallway in order to avoid any possible fines on remarks they could make about the game's officiating.
Lopez, the team's lone representative in the All-Star game, played just three quarters and was benched in the final 12 minutes of the game. He scored just nine points, making just three of 10 shots from the field. Carlesimo said that Blatche "was playing better on both ends and was playing good defense".
Prince had 11 points to help the Grizzlies improve to 8-0 this season when holding opponents below 80 points.
C.J. Watson had 11 points and Blatche added 10 for the Nets.
Notes : Memphis's longest winning streak of the season is eight games (Nov. 2-17). ... Memphis' 74 points is its second lowest season total. The Grizzlies scored 73 in a loss to the Los Angeles Clippers on January 14. ... The Grizzlies tied a season low with points allowed in a game. Denver also managed 72 points in a loss at Memphis. ... Reggie Evans had 14 rebounds for Brooklyn.

PAGE│DUKE Landscape Architects was asked, in 2004, to become part of a team to develop a long term master plan for the Baker Arboretum and ultimately for a building addition to the existing structure integral to the arboretum.
Phase I of the project involved the complete renovation of the private home on the property with the removal of an existing swimming pool, allowing for a totally new relationship to the existing landscape. New pathways and intimate garden spaces became part and parcel of this phase.
Phase II of the master plan was the development of a dynamic addition to the existing octagonal structure which housed The Doors of Life, painted in France by Joe Downing. Intellectual focus for this portion of the project focused around ensuring the new building had a strong regional voice tied to the imagery of a Kentucky farm. The parallel barn-like wings and silo feature were inspired by Joe Downing's fond memories of his Horse Cave art showing where the paintings were hung in a tobacco warehouse with white sheets, softly billowing, serving as backdrops. The final product of this team effort is a new museum and landscape that is very evocative of its Kentucky roots and seems very much at home in Bowling Green, Kentucky.
Founded in 1992 by Jerry Baker, The Baker Arboretum now covers 115 acres. Working with the tree and art collections, landscape architect Mitchell Leichhardt designed a tapestry of trees and art. Built on a ridge of rolling hills in the outskirts of Bowling Green, Kentucky, the Downing Museum's architectural structure allows for lovely views of the Arboretum while inside—complementing the exquisite art of Joe Downing.

Hey, look! A sleek computer with a piece of fruit embossed on it. Contrary to popular belief, there's loads of games to be played on Apple's OS. The best twelve await you below.
FTL is a roguelike about space exploration and where the biggest draw is that you don't know what will happen next. That's a good thing: levels and situations created on the fly mean that nearly every playthrough is memorable. You'll command a crew and do your best to go into deep space: Chances are, you won't survive. But hey, maybe next time you'll do a little better.
A Good Match For: Those who revel in the idea of flying off into the deep recesses of space just to see what they find, and those that love the idea of commandeering a space ship. Also, for those who don't mind chaos. There's a lot of randomness in FTL.
Not a Good Match For: Those who don't like a challenge, as FTL is a particularly difficult game. Also probably not a good match for people who, for some reason, hate space and space travel.

The legendary turn-based strategy series changed things up significantly with Civilization V to make would-be world domination tons more streamlined. Maps are easier to navigate, crucial information flows easier and it's the best-looking entry in the family tree. And now with two terrific expansions in Gods & Kings and Brave New World, Civ V is meatier, more complex, and easier to recommend than ever.
A Good Match for: Event planners. Like a wedding or a milestone birthday party, Civilization V's all about knowing your guests and what they need to have a good time. Of course, those "guests" are rival nations and "a good time" is submitting to the power of your empire.
Not a Good Match For: Those who want the older Civ games. Civilization V is no incremental sequel, and the difference could alienate die-hard fans of the historical franchise.

Sure, there have been other shooters on this list. Shooters where you drive a tank, shooters where you fly a hang glider, shooters where you pilot a giant robot. But if one game about shooting other people belongs on a list of the best PC games, it's
Counter-Strike. Global Offensive has had an interesting run on Steam, evolving from a first draft that left many longtime CS players disappointed to a robust, fine-tuned shooter that is constantly being tweaked, updated, and improved. It's a game that you can play for a few minutes a week or for several hours a day, and you'll always get something out of it. There will always be another match to play, always another team to take on, always another bomb to defuse or hostage to rescue.
A Good Match For: The competitive, the precise, those who like a challenge. Anyone who wants to feel like the time they invest in getting good at a game won't be undone by a new sequel next year.
Not A Good Match For: The timid, the shy, the uncoordinated. Counter-Strike is a famously punishing game, and you'll need to build up some solid skills to feel like you're not dragging your team down.

You can almost hear the battle cries and smell the gunpowder in what is arguably Creative Assembly's finest strategy game, which gives players the goal of ascending to supreme military domination against rival feudal lords. Improvements in AI behavior and the introduction of skills allocation let you be a more flexible commander than in previous
Total War games.
A Good Match For: Akira Kurosawa fans. Some of the Japanese director's best dramas took place in Japan's feudal period, and this Total War game gives a big-picture view of the kinds of conflicts that daimyo and samurai soldiers experienced. Everything about Shogun 2—from the artwork to the soundtrack to the overarching gameplay goals—puts you inside a living history lesson.
Not a Good Match For: Fans of Creative Assembly's more ambitious projects. Unlike Empire or Rome, which let you build an empire spanning continents against vastly different foes, Shogun is fairly limited in its scale.

Gordon Freeman's second FPS foray often gets name-checked as one of the best games of all time and with good reason. Half-Life 2's 2004 release marks the moment that first-person games took their first steps towards subtlety, with character development getting as much of an upgrade as the graphics and gameplay.
A Good Match For: Method actors. The crowbar-wielding theoretical physicist you play as never talks but the characters and environment surrounding him do such a good job of telling you about the world and Gordon that you lose yourself in the character.
Not a Good Match For: Those who want a done-in-one experience. All the Half-Life games weave together to tell a larger story and they're all so good that there's no way you'll be able to walk away from City 17 and the world surrounding it. Luckily, you can get them the titles on Valve's Steam service, in either the Orange Box—which also contains the excellent Portal—or in the Half-Life Complete bundle.

The best way to explain Minecraft's success is to see it as tapping into humanity's need to build huge outlandish structures. Indie designer Markus Persson's hit title has let people recreate everything from the Death Star to retro video game levels, while also providing a survival adventure mechanic to keep things interesting.
A Good Match for: Frustrated urban planners. Aside from the dodging the game's monstrous green Creepers, all you need to build your Tower of Babel is patience and time.
Not a Good Match For: Those who want hi-res graphics. Part of Minecraft's charm is in its blown-out pixellated aesthetics so, if you prefer a steady diet of Unreal Engine-powered content, pass up Mojang's sandbox phenomenon.

Just a man and a dog, looking to make a delivery. That's how it all begins, anyway. But Kentucky Route Zero quickly becomes a mystical adventure through a land left behind by time, an odyssey in magical realism that feels grand and mysterious in a way that very, very few modern video games can muster. It's not like anything you've ever played, and for that alone, you should play it.
A Good Match For: Anyone looking for something different. Those who still believe there's magic hidden somewhere off the interstate.
Not A Good Match For: Those looking for a bunch of complex game mechanics—Kentucky Route Zero is a point-and-click adventure game, and a fairly simple one at that. Also, not for those who want closure—the five-act series is only on act three, and there tends to be a long wait between chapters.
Watch a video about why the game is great.
Call it the Superman 2 or Empire Strikes Back of video games. Valve's follow-up to a classic improves on the humor, characterisation and puzzle-solving of its predecessor to deliver a tight, focused experience full of poignancy and humor.
A Good Match for: Comedy lovers. The voicework alone—performed in stellar fashion by Stephen Merchant and Ellen McLain—will make you laugh out loud but the brain-teasing puzzles and embedded gags keep the chuckles coming even when everything else in the game goes quiet.
Not a Good Match For: Mediocrity fans. People who argue with Portal 2's greatness are like folks complaining that diamonds came from dirt. Their argument is invalid.

A terrifying game that takes hundreds of hours to learn, Dota 2 is capable of both making unable to stop playing and leaving you wanting to quit games forever. Players compete in teams of five against each other, doing their best to march gremlin-like creeps to the enemy's base in order to destroy a large structure called an ancient. It sounds simple, but Dota 2 may be one of the most intense games you'll ever play.
A Good Match For: Competitive folks who don't mind putting in a couple hundred hours to learn the game. Dota is a tough game to learn, but the pay-off is super rewarding. Dota 2 can easily take up all your time, if you want it to.
Not A Good Match For: The faint of heart. Dota takes time and dedication, and the playerbase can be offputting for some—since matches take so long and the game is so difficult to learn, things easily get heated.

Our game of the year for 2012, XCOM: Enemy Unknown may be well known thanks to the rare success of a turn-based strategy game on consoles. But XCOM's true home is the PC, and Enemy Unknown honors its heritage with dramatic tension and decision-making that truly feels consequential. Tasked with repelling an alien invasion of earth, some of your most precipitous choices take place away from the battlefield, in choosing what weapons systems to fund, which country to rescue from an alien incursion, and which ally you simply cannot help. XCOM: Enemy Unknown is also a rarity in that it features both a compelling story and near endless replayability. In 2013, Firaxis added Enemy Within, a sizable expansion that adds a ton of new abilities, enemies, maps and challenges to an already substantial game.
A Good Match for: Gamers who love a good challenge and have a good imagination, to support the overall context with their own emergent narrative. The investment in individual soldiers becomes nearly emotional, and losing them in battle can be agonizing. A good does of patience and perspective is needed, too. You will not win every match. Everyone will not stay in the alliance. Sometimes, you'll feel set up to fail. You can still prevail in the end.
Not a Good Match For: Those looking for fast-paced action, or who expect to grind their way to overwhelming victory on the battlefield. The game often throws more at you than you can handle with headlong force. Thinking about your next move is where the gameplay is, more than making it, and XCOM really connects your battlefield choices back to ones you made at HQ. "Why didn't I research plasma weapons?!"

Valverde suffers final frustration
Thursday 17 May 2007
Article summary
Sevilla FC's Juande Ramos became the first coach to lead a side to consecutive UEFA Cup titles as Ernesto Valverde harboured the agony of defeat yet again.
Article top media content
Article body
Juande Ramos became the first coach to lead a side to consecutive UEFA Cup titles as Sevilla FC beat RCD Espanyol on penalties at Hampden Park, leaving counterpart Ernesto Valverde to harbour the agony of defeat yet again.
Maresca pledge
Both coaches have experienced UEFA Cup showpieces before yet they cut nervous figures in the opening stages, biting nails as they waited to see how matters panned out. Ramos was put at ease first as his side enjoying the better start, with Adriano Correia and Daniel Alves causing Espanyol's defence problems with their direct running and forcing Valverde to stride out into the technical area to issue orders. Whatever he said had immediate effect as Los Periquitos began to find their feet. Raúl Tamudo and Moisés Hurtado both worked Andrés Palop, though the goalkeeper saved comfortably each time, and on 18 minutes he showed he has not lost his nose for attacking either.
Palop plaudits
If not for Palop's last-gasp header against FC Shakhtar Donetsk, Sevilla's defence would have ended in the last 16, and tonight his first-half contribution was a brilliant early throw following a corner. The ball fell to Adriano who skipped past David García before slipping it beyond Gorka Iraizoz. His team-mates responded in the time-honoured way, leaping on the goalscorer as he ran to the corner flag but as Ramos skipped down the steps and to the edge of the pitch, it was Palop who received his appreciative wave. He was nowhere to be seen ten minutes later as Albert Reira equalised though Valverde was, sprinting to the side of the pitch and using the opportunity to drill his defence.
Valverde ambition
It was the sort of focus the Catalan outfit have come to expect from a man hailing from Caceres, a town renowned for its storks - potent symbols of birth in the catholic faith. He has instilled a similar aura of renewal at Espanyol since taking over in summer 2005, guiding them to the Copa del Rey last season - only the fourth major trophy of their 107-year history. Now they were in a UEFA Cup final for the second time. Valverde was also involved in the first against Bayer 04 Leverkusen in 1988, as a player. Part of the side that established a three-goal cushion in the first encounter, he sat out a disastrous second leg as they eventually lost on penalties.
See-saw encounter
He now refers to that experience as "the one that got away" and he was determined to make amends in Glasgow. Before the hour Tamudo stung Palop's fingers and the goalkeeper was called on again to tip over Riera's stunning dipping volley. Yet in a match which swung one way and then the next, the scales seemed tipped in Sevilla's favour midway through the half when Moisés Hurtado was dismissed. A man down on the field, Valverde sought to make up for the deficit with a lonely vigil in the technical area before opting to bring on another defender, Jesús María Lacruz, at the expense of Tamudo.
Ramos joy
"Tanta gloria, tanto fútbol" (so much glory, so much football) a banner had read just before kick-off yet now there was no time for poetry - it was a matter of grit for the underdogs. Meanwhile Ramos, who was dismissed after just five games as Espanyol coach in 2002, urged his players forward. Chances went begging as the game drifted into extra time before Frédéric Kanouté made it 2-1. Jônatas equalised from long range with just five minutes remaining but was then one of three Espanyol players to see their penalty saved by Palop in the resulting shoot-out as Ramos's Sevilla triumphed.

As a natural response to the significance of the Brazilian offshore oil and gas market's subsea sector, we have established ourselves locally with a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility situated at the new Porto do Açu (ACU) in São João da Barra some 300 km north of Rio de Janeiro.
ACU is the largest industrial port in Latin America. Occupying a total of 90 km2, the port features a 3-km bridge to the cargo and tanker ship berths and has a projected import/export volume of 350 million tons per year. The associated industrial complex covers 2 million m2 and will be occupied by industries dedicated to supporting the Brazilian offshore industry.
Ideal positionLocated right in front of the mature post-salt oil fields in the Campos Basin and in close proximity of the massive new pre-salt discoveries, the ACU factory is ideally placed to support the Brazilian offshore oil and gas sector with high quality flexible pipe systems for shallow, deep and ultra-deep water applications.
Flexibles was the first to begin construction in the offshore complex of ACU. The factory occupies a total of 121,000 m2, of which some 45,000 m2 are under roof, and it employs over 500 people in full-fledged operation. A 10-m draft 210-m long quay and a 410-t crane at the quayside provide full loading flexibility. Based on a typical Brazilian sector mix of products, the annual flexible pipe manufacturing capacity is approx. 220 km corresponding to a theoretical capacity of 6" IDeq of not less than 250 km.
The best of two worlds The ACU factory and our sales office in Rio de Janeiro are both part of an organization where cultural intelligence has established a company culture merging the best from Denmark and the best from Brazil to create a company that always acts on its commitments and always cooperates with clients and other stakeholders as a partner in realizing the true value proposition of flexible pipe solutions. Flexibles is committed to continuously developing our Brazilian entity to be able to service the sector independently, thereby contributing to the constant evolution of the offshore oil and gas sector in Brazil.
CertificatesThe factory is certified according to ISO 9001, OHSAS 18001, Type Approval and 410T Crane

ZeroNights is an international conference dedicated to the technical side of information security. The mission of the conference is to disseminate information about new attack methods, threats and defense tools. Another purpose is to create a communication venue for skilled professionals in the field of information security.
ZeroNights 2012 is brought to you by ERPScan and Software People. The event will be held in Moscow, Russia, on November 19 and 20, 2012.
This is the conference for technical specialists, administrators, ISOs and CISOs, pen-testers, programmers and everyone who is interested in the practical aspects of the field.
Our event is a unique, unmatched happening in the world of security in Russia. Guests from all over the world, technical hacking papers and workshops – no milk-and-water, no commercials, just technology, working methods, attacks and forensics!
Best papers from the experts all over the world
Interesting technical speeches will be given by the planet's best speakers. Only hot research, actual problems and real attacks. A paper like those is what shows you that anything you might buy or use is vulnerable in one way or the other. A paper like those can help you evaluate the real security level of a system, a technology, a protocol etc. ZeroNights is the place to learn how hackers work, how malware and exploits work.
Workshops by the world-class professionals
This year, we have prepared unique workshops for you. Where else do they show you how to write exploits, to bypass the defense of OS and browsers, to find vulnerabilities in web projects? Practical knowledge fortified by theory is priceless.
Best place for communication
Professional from all over the country will attend the conference. It supports the communication format which allows people to meet in an informal setting and discuss the contemporary security problems.

Join us for a spectacular trek across the jungle border between Aceh and North Sumatra. View stunning scenery off the tourist trail and feel a true sense of achievement on completing our most physically challenging expedition so far.
Ascending a mountain on day one is just the beginning of this adventure. Experience true remoteness and abandonment in beautiful primary rainforest as far as the eye can see. Leave all cares and worries behind you and absorb nature at its purest.
Our highly experienced guides are alert to the tracks and signs of wildlife. You may be lucky enough to see the Sumatran Elephant in the wild as well as wild orangutans, gibbons, various monkeys, wild pig and deer regularly spotted in this region. We can extend the number of days spent on the trek to build in time for relaxing and soaking in the jungle tranquillity.
(The route and duration of the trek may vary according to the time of year and weather conditions)
• Day One
Trek orientation in Medan / Bukit Lawang. Travel by private transportation through Berastagi to Kutacane in Aceh. Stop for lunch in Berastagi. Arrive around 8pm in Kutacane for dinner and accommodation with our local village friends.
• Day Two
Wake early for breakfast and ascend Lumut Mountain. Arrive late afternoon 500 metres below the summit for our river camp in the valley below. Get into warm, cosy clothes for evening camp meal and spectacular views of Southern Aceh and the winding Alas river below.
• Day Three
Trek to the summit of Lumut Mountain in wondrous misty mountain views. Descend the mountain to camp next to the Berkail river.
• Day Four–Seven
Trekking alongside and through the Berkail river with the help of our guides. Take lunch by waterfalls, catch fish for dinner, play cards and scrabble in the evenings. Camping out under the stars makes for an authentic jungle experience.
• Day Eight
Final day of trekking. Ascend the Meranti mountain before reaching our expedition base. Put on some clean clothes, enjoy a local massage and prepare for a well deserved end of trek party.
Who is this trek suitable for?
As well as a sense of adventure, an average to high level of physical fitness is required for this expedition. Conditions can be hot and at times exhausting in a tropical, rainforest climate. The terrain is sometimes steep and deeply forested.
This is not an expedition for the faint hearted or those looking for jungle luxury.
We camp together every night under the same tent and you will be washing in the river to keep clean. Don't expect to return with any clean clothes!
You might find it useful to do a short 1 day practice trek before you embark on this expedition. Please allow extra days if you wish us to organize a practice trek.
Contact us for more information.
Necessary Equipment:
- Sturdy walking boots or shoes
- Sports sandals or flip flops for river walking
- Sheet or light weight sleeping bag
- Optional ground/inflatable mat. One will be provided if necessary.
- Insect repellent
- Trousers (not jeans) and if possible long sleeved top(s)
- Night time / camp clothing for relaxing in.
- Head torch.
If you are hoping to contribute directly to the plight of the Sumatran orangutan then please read on.

All private transportation from Bukit Lawang or Medan to the starting point of the trek in Kutacane, Aceh
Licensed guides and permits
All food and refreshments whilst trekking

The trusty old white tour van that Lee Bains III & The Glory Fires parked in front of the studio a month or so ago had a gator head cinched onto the front fender, right above an Alabama license plate. There was a souvenir Alabama - the band - baseball cap, something from the "Mountain Music" or "The Closer You Get" days, with facsimile autographs from Randy Owen, Jeff Cook and Teddy Gentry, tucked between the windshield and the dashboard. The Southern pride was almost delirious, but authentic here with these boys from Birmingham, who shared with us some of the most intimate and disgusting details of their lives during the few hours they spent here.
The authenticity and the dual parts pain and hilarity (which could just be some acknowledgement of the surrounding madness) rolls right on into the music that Bains and crew write. It spills over with feelings of the long road's isolating tendencies, with extended stretches of being away from family and that undeniable urge to get back to them at all costs, all while knowing that keeping the wheels rolling is part of paying the bills and keeping those little mouths fed. Bains creates a mood that mixes in the open road freedom that can be felt on a solitary journey, but is quick to include the horrible heartburn of loss, of missing out that comes from a feeling that you're leaving the ones you love high and dry, that you're just not there for them, but you've got no choice but to be that way, to be that man for them, for you know no other way. He deals with the lives of people whose hands are tied. They are at the mercy of their circumstances and while that's not lost on them, they ponder the ways that they live by, the little that they survive on sometimes. These are people who are going to get by. They'll continue to stare into the murderous red of a setting sun and they'll try to beat it down to the horizon. When they fail, they'll try to beat the black of the night to a pulp. They'll try to get back to where they belong, with as little damage done as possible.

I recently became an open Atheist, and admittedly I've been a bit of an ass about it with my family. I scoff at the candidates they support (Romney, and in one extreme case, Santorum), and when my family confronted me about WHY I hated these two so much, the first thing that popped out of my mouth was that they are Fundamentalist Christians (Yeah, Romney's a Mormon, BFD), and are both preaching from a book that encourages slavery, mass murder, incest, infanticide, the murder of your own children, rape, the list goes on and on. The most interesting response I got was "Well, that's all old testament. CHRISTIANS follow the NEW Testament much more seriously than the Old Testament." Well, I've heard broad sweeping generalizations before, but this one had me a bit stumped. I made a bit of a cop out by simply stating that it was damned convenient for them to be able to pick and choose which bits of God's word and law that they follow.
So here's what I need help with: I would like to find New Testament examples of God Gone Wrong, General Hypocrisy, etc, etc, etc...Do any of you have a good idea of where I can start?

Somewhat, but a lot of it is also Canaanite religion as well. You might enjoy reading this.
You might also enjoy reading The Evolution of God
The Evolution of God sounds interesting, Richard. Who is the author ?
Robert Wright. I believe he says it's a book form of his college course. I gave the link in my previous post to his web site about the book. I read it the first time from my public library (St. Louis, Missouri, USA). That was about 2 years ago, but I think it's still in print.
Oh, it was a finalist for the 2010 Pulitzer Prize.
Many thanks, Richard, I'll check our library for it.
William the books is available through Amazon and can get a Kindle version.
Good suggestion, @Jim Minion. I'd still look at a library copy, if available, just so he sees if it's of interest. The "good stuff" in that book doesn't really start appearing after the part the usual Amazon preview. I'm wanting a personal copy too (and I have a Kindle).
Richard, did you take a look at that link to the journal article I linked? Rollston is one of only a handful of Bronze age Levantine epigraphers. The other convenient thing about it, is that it is written in at tone to address Christian arguments because that particular article is written to try to convince a Christian audience that Israel was originally polytheist.
This is to John Kelly. I don't have reply link to his last message below his posting. I think I did. These past couple of days have been hectic. Let me track it down again. There's a reason most my replies have rarely been more than a sentence or two :)
No, no computer problems that I'm seeing. Just after a certain point in the reply chain it seems not to give me an option to reply back. I have an IT background, including web programming. Has me scratching my head. Maybe there's a setting I need to adjust.
At least I can edit my own posting. :)
Computer problems? If you can see the thread just scroll up and it is there, but if not here is the link
I give up, Jim. What's a Kindle ?
William it is Amazon e-reader, can put about 3500 books on it, just picked up a Kindle Fire. Great way to grow a collection without having to find a place to store all those books.
Could order from this site and get Think Atheist some credit.

Be sure to check out our Level 90 Tanking Gems post!
UPDATE : Epic gems from patch 4.3 have been added!
Shiny sparkly gems, there are so many to choose from aren't there?
Well worry not, as I am here to help.
So now you've probably gotten nice and settled in, gotten a few pieces of gear, have run a few heroics and are maybe looking to tweak your gear to be ready for raiding?
There are basically two strategies you can use. While you can mix and match them, doing so will likely reduce the effectiveness of either strategy so we'll work under the assumption that you're doing one or the other.
For starters, you can either reforge your items to meet your hit and expertise caps and then gem for pure survivability or, alternatively, you can reforge for survivability and then gem for threat in the form of hit and expertise rating.
Gem set for survivability:
- Austere Shadowspirit Diamond – (+81STA/+2%Armor) – Meta
- Solid Chimera's Eye – (+101STA) – Blue, Jewelcrafter Only
- Subtle Chimera's Eye – (+67 Dodge) – Yellow, Jewelcrafter Only
- Solid Deepholm Iolite – (+75 STA) – Blue
- Solid Ocean Sapphire – (+60STA) – Blue
- Defender's Shadow Spinel – (+25PAR/+37STA) – Red/Blue
- Defender's Demonseye – (+20PAR/+30STA) – Red/Blue
- Regal Elven Peridot (+25DOD/+37STA) – Blue/Yellow
- Regal Dream Emerald – (+20DOD/+30STA) – Blue/Yellow
- Puissant Elven Peridot (+25MAS/+37STA) – Blue/Yellow
- Puissant Dream Emerald – (+20MAS/+30STA) – Blue/Yellow
Gem set for threat:
- Austere Shadowspirit Diamond – (+81STA/+2%Armor) – Meta
- Rigid Deepholm Iolite – (+50HIT) – Blue
- Rigid Ocean Sapphire – (+40HIT) – Blue
- Guardian's Shadow Spinel -(+25EXP/+37STA) – Red/Blue
- Guardian's Demonseye – (+20EXP/+30STA) – Red/Blue
- Retaliating Shadow Spinel – (+25PAR/+25HIT) – Red/Blue
- Retaliating Demonseye – (+20PAR/+20HIT) – Red/Blue
- Accurate Shadow Spinel – (+25EXP/+25HIT) – Red/Blue
- Accurate Demonseye – (+20EXP/+20HIT) – Red/Blue
- Resolute Lava Coral – (+25EXP/+25DOD) – Yellow/Red
- Resolute Ember Topaz – (+20EXP/+20DOD) – Yellow/Red
- Fine Lava Coral – (+25PAR/+25MAS) – Yellow/Red
- Fine Ember Topaz – (+20PAR/+20MAS) – Yellow/Red
- Keen Lava Coral – (+25EXP/ +25MAS) – Yellow/Red
- Keen Ember Topaz – (+20EXP/+20MAS) – Yellow/Red
- Nimble Elven Peridot – (+25DOD/+25HIT) – Blue/Yellow
- Nimble Dream Emerald – (+20DOD/+20HIT) – Blue/Yellow
As you can see from this list, there are a few crossovers, like the meta gem and a lot more options for the threat set compared to the survivability set.
Just keep in mind that this early in the expansion content, you're going to want to stick primarily to the survivability style of gemming as you'll be getting hit extremely hard and often until we get a few more dungeons into the expansion.
If you do choose to gem a little bit for threat or to shore up your hit and expertise caps, just keep in mind that when you do so, you're largely going to make it harder for healers to keep you alive so keep that in mind before you dip your toe too far into those waters.

Jan. 26, 2008
NEW YORK, N.Y. - Yale beat Wayne St. at the NYU Invitational Saturday in New York, N.Y. The 20-7 win was the lone bright spot of the day, however, as the Bulldogs also lost matches to Notre Dame (19-8), Northwestern (20-7), NYU (16-11) and Ohio St. (25-2). The Bulldogs' 2007-08 dual meet record now stands at 5-7, as they prepare to enter Ivy League competition beginning Sunday, Feb. 3.
The foil squad posted a 9-0 win to pace Yale's defeat of Wayne St. Sophomores Jennifer Ivers and Lidia Gocheva and junior Jennifer Cohen all notched perfect 3-0 records. The epee squad posted a 6-3 victory, with freshman Pruittiporn Kerdchoochuen, sophomore Rebecca Moss and junior Abigail Fraeman all winning two bouts. The sabre squad fenced to a 5-4 win. Senior captain Erin Frey won the deciding bout with the match score tied at 4-4.
Yale fell to Notre Dame, 19-8. The Fighting Irish swept the weapons, taking the sabre, 7-2, and the foil and epee by matching 6-3 tallies.
The Bulldogs had similar luck against Northwestern and lost, 20-7. The Wildcats' foilists won a convincing 8-1 victory, while the sabre and epee squads claimed 6-3 wins.
Yale's saberists won seven of nine bouts against host NYU, but a 6-3 loss in the foil and an 8-1 loss in the epee tilted the match in NYU's favor.
Ohio St. beat Yale, 25-2, in the final match of the day.
The Bulldogs will return to action on Sunday, Feb. 3, when the Ivy League will travel to New Haven, Conn., and Yale's Payne Whitney Gymnasium for the Ivy North Competition.

Let's start with some good news:
- After losing 10 straight, the Padres went 4-3. Improvement, baby!
- Tim Stauffer looks legit, and with Wade LeBlanc/Kevin Correia struggling the Padres rotation needed a lift. We really needed you Tim. Nice job.
- The strike 'em out, throw 'em out to end Saturday's game was ridiculous. That was exciting.
- Bud Black finally dropped Ryan Ludwick down in the order. I'm probably the biggest Ryan Ludwick fan in San Diego, but it's about time. Ludwick has been killing us.
- San Diego is still in first.
- They are headed to Colorado. If there's a tonic for a struggling offense, it's Coors Field.
- I'm going to appear on the I-70 baseball Podcast tonight about 8:15 local time. This is a Cardinals/Royals focused production, but since San Diego will be in St Louis the end of this week, I was invited. Should be interesting. I'm expecting lots of questions on the 'collapse'.
- I did something very rash this week:
Now the bad news.
- Padres still aren't hitting. They scored 3 meaningful runs this weekend against San Francisco in 4 games. Ludwick's HR on Thursday night was nice, but cosmetic as the Padres were down 6 when he hit it.
- The brutal September continues. Now in a virtual tie for first, with Colorado only a game and a half behind both us and the Giants, we travel to Denver. Colorado has won TEN STRAIGHT at the moment, and are 11-4 this season against San Diego.
- Then they get to play in St Louis. San Diego is 7-26 in St Louis since 2000, and have lost 9 in a row there.
Hope springs eternal, but reality is starting to smother hope. Today ESPN projected the Padres have a 48.8% chance of making the playoffs. Unless they snap out of their funk starting today they might be out of the playoff hunt eintirely by next Sunday.
