Buy Levitra
Levitra Description
Vardenafil is a drug that is commonly prescribed to treat erectile dysfunction, or impotence. In functions in a manner to other medications on the market that are designed to address the issue of erectile dysfunction. This medication effects penile engorgement, in which vessels deliver blood to the penile region and permit an erection. In order for this to occur, medications, such as Vardenafil, must amplify the production of cGMP and nitric oxide, which can induce more seamless blood flow to the penis and induce an erection. Certain enzymes in the body, such as phosphodiesterase, destroy cGMP, which is critical in the context of sustaining frequent and normal erections. Vardenafil, however, prevents this chemical from destroying cGMP, and therefore, treat impotence.
There is a number of benefits associated with using this particular drug:
- Many men areaffilcated with poor secual health, as well as a highly unsatisfactory sex life. Impotence does more than just inhibit the healthy functions of the penis. Not only does it weigh down on a man's confidence, but it also affects the very fabric of an intimate relationship. Vardenafil gives men everywhere the ability to increase both their sexual confidence and performance. Importance, an issue that would initially be deemed humiliating and frustrating, can be treated effectively using this medication.
- This medication can amplify the quality of one's sex life and strengthen levels of intimacy.
The following dosage is recommended:
Dosage is often contingent on a number of factors, including age. For example, men who are at least 65 years old should begin with a dose of about 5 mg. However, it should be noted that one cannot interchange ODT with normal tablets of vardenafil. This because ODT are far more potent, as they can be absorbed more readily into the body. The ODT should be consumed one hour before engaging in sexual activity. Furthermore, one should not exceed a single tablet during a 24 hour time period. Furthermore, once ingested, it should be allowed to melt on one's tongue and should be followed by enough water to fully disintegrate it. Typically, tablets of 10mg are given to individuals 1 hour before sexual activity.
What's Levitra and just how it really works?
Levitra (Vardenafil HCl) is really a prescription pill, which is comparable to Viagra and Cialis. Levitra isn't a remedy for Erectile dysfunction and you have to go every time you wish to have sexual intercourse. Levitra works well for getting and looking after a harder erection only when you're sexually stimulated.

With what conditions, Levitra over the counter shouldn't be taken?

The meeting was called to order at 4: 07PM by President Higueras The following members were noted present: President Higueras, Vice President Steiman, and Commissioners Coulter, Streets, and Swig. The Secretary noted that Commissioner Chin's arrival might be delayed. Commissioner Bautista joined the meeting at 4:10PM AGENDA ITEM #1 APPROVAL OF THE MINUTES OF June 5, 2001 REGULAR COMMISSION MEETING Public comment on AGENDA ITEM #1 APPROVAL OF THE MINUTES OF June 5, 2001 REGULARCOMMISSION MEETING An anonymous member of the public commented that the entire meeting was not recorded on the audio tape nor were public comment summary statements submitted by members of the public posted on the library's website. This person further noted that a comment referring to the radio repeater by Commissioner Bautista had been omitted. This individual also observed that a page 7 grammatically incorrect comment attributed to the anonymous member of the public referring to "digging one's own grave" did not reflect what was said. The anonymous member of the public additionally enumerated several points raised in Mr. Esteves presentation on ebooks that were not noted in the Minutes. Mr. Ed Regan found his comments accurately reported. Mr. Peter Warfield noted that there were both good and bad aspects to the Minutes as reported but cited a page 3 comment attributed to him which did not accurately reflect his comments on the lack of stated objectives for creating more space for books in the new branch library plans. Mr. Warfield also noted that there were a number of points raised in the presentation on ebooks that were not noted in the Minutes nor was the failure of the software to function properly on several occasions during Mr. Esteves' presentation. Mr. Warfield additionally clarified that his comments on ebooks referred specifically to the many failures during Mr. Esteves presentation rather than failures to access ebooks Mr. Warfield had personally experienced. Mr. Warfield agreed with his reported comments related to the need for more exhibitions of materials from the Library's own collections, but noted that he believed that the report of only one such exhibit per year had been made in response to a query by a commissioner. Commission comment on AGENDA ITEM #1 APPROVAL OF THE MINUTES OF THE JUNE 5, 2001 REGULAR COMMISSION MEETING President Higueras commented that he had reviewed the Minutes from a number of other boards and commissions and that among those the Library Commission's minutes were a reasonable record of its meetings. He noted that the Minutes are intended as a record of the meeting not a complete transcription. He further pointed out that the tapes of each meeting provided a complete record of what occurred. President Higueras also observed that the Minutes properly reflect key facts, data, and dollar sums and that not every comment could be fully recorded. President Higueras suggested that members of the public who wanted detailed reporting of their comments should submit them prior to the meeting so that they could be included. In response to a query by President Higueras, the Commission Secretary proposed to again look into questions regarding gaps in the meeting's audio recording. He also noted that under the Sunshine Ordinance members of the public could submit public comment summary statements in their own words for attachment to the Minutes. The Commission Secretary also discussed the proposed acquisition of a scanner so that public comment summary statements and other materials coming to the Commission in a non-electronic format could be scanned and posted on the Library's website MOTION: by Bautista and Commissioner Swig for approval of the June 5, 2001 Minutes. ACTION: AYE 6-0 (Bautista, Coulter, Higueras, Steiman, Streets, and Swig) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- AGENDA ITEM #2 CITY LIBRARIAN'S REPORT City Librarian Susan Hildreth provided the Commissioners with a report on the recent American Library Association (ALA) Annual Meeting that was held in San Francisco in June. The City Librarian informed the Commissioners that more than 25,000 librarians had attended, a record breaking attendance, but noted that the ALA would not be returning to San Francisco again until 2011. Ms. Hildreth mentioned that concerns regarding the cost and availability of the necessary large blocks of hotel rooms, and a reported concern with available exhibit spaces were offered as reasons for not returning to San Francisco sooner. The City Librarian observed that the Library received many visitors and great many compliments from the attending librarians and that in her view the meeting had been a great success. Ms. Hildreth next provided an update on the Library's budget noting that the Board of Supervisors Finance Committee had recommended approval with very few cuts. The City Librarian identified several positions that were taken out of the budget. The City Librarian then reported that the tool lending center, as well as the new positions requested for Project Read and programs and exhibitions had been retained in the budget. Library Finance Director George Nichols confirmed that the Supervisors approved 95% of the items requested by the Library. Ms. Hildreth then discussed the successful results of the Overdue Books Amnesty noting that there had been some success in publicizing the opportunity for patrons to return long overdue materials without any fines. Ms. Hildreth reported that 5,326 items were brought in and that many of these; 4,000 items more than usual were returned, were among those listed as long overdue/assumed lost. The City Librarian noted that the materials returned were valued at more than $100,000. Ms. Hildreth recounted some of the stories associated with the more significantly overdue items such as a reference desk copy of A Glossary of Sea Terms by G. Bradshaw from 1927, Vail and Other Poems by George Russell from 1931 which had only been checked out once and became overdue in June 1931. The City Librarian also discussed two pieces of sheet music returned by Ms. Allie Light that had been borrowed on 1962 by her late husband opera singer Charles Hilder, the subject of her Academy Award winning documentary "In the Shadow of the Stars". Another returned item, Hangtown Ballads published in 1949, Ms. Hildreth noted, had been so interesting that it had been placed immediately in the "New Main to New Millennium" Exhibit in the Jewett Gallery. The City Librarian commended the important support for the Amnesty by famed local cartoonist Phil Frank who contributed cartoons publicizing the Overdue Book Amnesty, artwork for its poster and flyers, and who with his character "Brunhilda" participated at a poster signing event to encourage patrons to return their materials. Ms. Hildreth next turned to recent Prop. 14 (State Library Construction and Improvement Bond) developments noting that the State Library had approved draft regulations and that they were undergoing review by the Office of Administrative Law. The City Librarian mentioned that they would likely become effective in January 2002, with the first applications taken in June 2002. Finally the City Librarian announced that there would be a public hearing on the proposed restoration of No. 19 Polk Street bus stop at the Larkin Street entrance of the Main Library on July 11th from 5:30 to 7:30PM to accept public comment regarding the change. Public comment on Agenda Item #2 CITY LIBRARIAN'S REPORT: An anonymous member of the public commented on the success of the American Library Association, but suggested that more information on the successful embargo of the Marriott Hotel by many participants, including the incoming ALA President forgoing his inaugural ceremonies, would have been welcome. The anonymous member of the public further remarked that the role undertaken by Supervisor Leland Yee in pressing the Library to undertake a fine amnesty should be highlighted. This individual reserved comment on the Board of Supervisor's Finance Committee's handling of the Library Budget to a later time. Mr. Ed Regan expressed happiness at the success of the amnesty, his only reservation being that he would prefer that all fines be abolished. Mr. Regan also called for the development of a list of all lost, stolen, and overdue materials. Mr. Peter Warfield commented that he was glad of the success of the amnesty, noting that the value of an amnesty was measured not only in the value of the books returned but also in out of print items which were returned to the collection. Mr. Warfield decried that the Library did not purchase out of print books to replace those lost despite the reality that sources for purchase of out of print materials were now widely available through web searches. Commission comment on Agenda Item #2 CITY LIBRARIAN'S REPORT In response to questions by Commissioner Coulter, the City Librarian reported annual losses of between 20 to 25,000 items and commented that while the amnesty, the first since 1998, did well its impact on the overall collection was modest. Ms. Hildreth noted that the Library had done a good job getting the word out with more than 12,000 notices being mailed but that this was not the most effective means of maintaining the collection. In answer to another question by Commissioner Coulter, Ms. Hildreth reported that the library sustained losses to the collection of around $500,000 and took in about $450,000 in fines. She further noted that this represented 5% of the annual circulation, a figure similar to other libraries. In response to a question by Commissioner Swig, the City Librarian noted that cost figures for the amnesty were not yet available. In response to questions by President Higueras, Ms. Hildreth identified books on the occult, civil service test books, and Library Security Chief Rachel MacLachlan noted Bibles, westerns, and special black interest novels as those most frequently missing items. In answer to other questions by President Higueras, Ms. Hildreth responded that for the most part the most frequently circulated items were lost in the greater numbers rather than out of print materials in the collection. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- AGENDA ITEM #3 BRANCH LIBRARY BOND UPDATE Library Branch Improvement Bond Program Manager Marilyn Thompson outlined recent developments in the Bond program for the Commissioners highlighting the three areas of recent activities, financing, site acquisition, and initial design and engineering. Ms. Thompson reported the June 20th initial bond sale of $17.665 million. Ms. Thompson reported that these funds were expected to be appropriated by the Board of Supervisors by the end of July and applied to site acquisitions for the Glen Park, Visitacion Valley, Ingleside, and Portola Branch Libraries and the design and engineering costs for the first seven projects: Marina, Noe Valley, Parkside, Richmond, Mission Bay, Visitacion Valley, and the Library Support Center. Ms. Thompson then reported on the Library's effort to pursue $10 million in Prop. 14 State Library Construction and Improvement Bond funds for use on branch library projects and noted that the Library had submitted comments on the draft regulations and would aggressively pursue funds when the first $150 million in funds became available in June 2002. The Branch Bond Project Manager next reported on the June 28th Special Commission Meeting held to discuss potential branch library locations in Glen Park and Visitacion Valley noting that the Commission had authorized the Department of Real Estate to investigate and negotiate potential locations at three sites in each neighborhood and to report back its findings to the Commission in much greater detail at the end of August. Regarding the Mission Bay Branch Library, Ms. Thompson outlined ongoing discussions with the Redevelopment Agency concerning a corner location at 4th and Berry Streets for an 8,000 sq. ft. facility on a condominium parcel jointly to be shared with a senior housing development. Ms. Thompson noted that she and Chief of Branches Donna Corbeil had been meeting regularly with Redevelopment and with the designers of the proposed facility to spell out in detail all aspects of the shell facility to be delivered to the Library to house the branch. Finally, Ms. Thompson discussed work on the design schematics for the Richmond Branch Library so that proper documentation could be in place for the first round of competitions for Prop. 14 State Library Construction Bond funds next June. Public comment on AGENDA ITEM #3 BRANCH LIBRARY BOND UPDATE Mr. Ed Regan suggested that the Commission go slow in replacing branch libraries, pointing out that in his view the$2.5 million Ocean View Branch was better that what it replaced but was not open enough hours. Mr. Regan additionally proposed that the library develop a physical plant model of how many sq. ft. it wanted in each branch and recommended that each branch have three levels. Mr. Regan also suggested creation of offices for the branch librarians' in each branch. Commission comment on AGENDA ITEM #3 BRANCH LIBRARY BOND UPDATE In response to a question by Commissioner Streets, Ms. Thompson and the City Librarian discussed in detail the background of what the Library would be required to do to prepare to pursue Prop. 14 State Library Bond funds for the Richmond Branch, identified as the single most expensive branch project in the bond program. The City Librarian commented on the importance of getting Prop. 14 funding, with its 65% state funds to 35% local matching funds in meeting the overall goal of getting $10 million from state funds for branch bond projects. In response to a query by Commissioner Bautista, Ms. Thompson discussed in more detail how the library was working with the developer/designer of the mixed use Mission Bay project to get the best design available for the shell facility that the Library would receive. President Higueras noted that this project was a win/win for the Library, the seniors, and the neighborhood. Ms. Thompson observed that the branch Library would have its own address, own utilities, and that the Library was given a prominent corner location and that the Library staff were working to make sure that the branch library had its identity, own principle entry, and a architecturally distinctive front. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Agenda Item #4 PATRON CONDUCT POLICY The City Librarian introduced discussion of a revised Patron Conduct Policy, Guidelines for Library Use noting that this proposed revision was the product of long and extensive discussions by staff. Ms. Hildreth then introduced Library Security Chief Rachel MacLachlan, who gave an extensive presentation on why staff felt this to be a very important issue. The Library Security Chief pointed out that the original rules for patron conduct had been adopted in 1983, were very legalistic and difficult to understand, and couched in language she felt many parents would be uncomfortable discussing with their children. Ms. MacLachlan observed that the rules needed to be in plain English, that they should eliminate some existing prohibitions which were no longer needed, and they should effectively address the issues which regularly came up. She noted that patrons frequently looked for posted copies or requested copies of the rules. Ms. MacLachlan cited as an example that for many years, with the permission of the City Attorney, the Library has required patrons to wear shirts and shoes while using the library but that this policy was not reflected in the written rules. The Library Security Chief summed up her presentation by stating that the proposed new guidelines would be a wholesale updating and clarifying of the rules, addressing issues which had not be addressed in the past, and eliminating those rules no longer needed. She cited the controversy that ensued with the banning of smoking in the library in 1980 and now the new guidelines requesting that smokers be 10 ft. away from library entrances as the kind of evolution in policy that the proposed rules reflected. Public comment on Agenda Item #4 PATRON CONDUCT POLICY An anonymous member of the public expressed doubt as to whether the presenter had referred to the old rules or the new rules as legalistic and noted that the City Attorney had been said to have commented on them, but that the content of that comment was not reported. This individual found the proposed rules unsuitably vague, mentioning a famous 1980's case in New Jersey relating to a homeless person that a library was forbidden to bar from the library for starring at other patrons. The anonymous member of the public noted that this case established a legal precedent that libraries were public forums that could not restrict access for subjective reasons. Mr. Ed Regan asked that the signs located in the Second Floor Children's Center and children's libraries in the branches restricting access to children and adults accompanied by children be removed. Mr. Regan also recommended that patrons be allowed to take books from the library into the Café area. Ms. Maya Nordberg, a legal advocate for the Coalition for the Homeless expressed concerns that the proposed new rules would not treat all patrons equally, although all users are entitled to be in the library. Ms. Nordberg found that details of the proposed rules would permit disparate treatment, wondering if someone with too strong cologne would be given the same treatment as someone who had no had the opportunity to clean up. She questioned the rule regarding excessive use of bathrooms and asked that it be clarified. She also questioned why persons remaining at the library after closing would be referred to the police. Ms. Nordberg found this a very severe first step in addressing the needs of such people. She also questioned how the rules against sleeping would be applied. Mr. Peter Warfield found it unfortunate that the new rules were being considered without clearly highlighting the changes from and providing copies of the current rules. Mr. Warfield observed that he found the old rules clearly and simply stated and some new rules too vague. Mr. Warfield cited various proposed rules he found objectionable or open to subjective enforcement. Mr. Warfield also found the sanctions included in the new policy too harsh and observed that there were no procedural safeguards or appeal process for those found in violation. Mr. Matthew Fitt, a Hastings Law student, observed that shoes don't seem to be a necessity in the library, and questioned the restrictions on luggage, inquiring if they applied to backpacks. He expressed concern that differing standards might be applied to someone who seemed homeless. Mr. Fitt also raised questions regarding the definition of many of the prohibitions in proposed rules expressing concern that vagueness allowed for differential enforcement. Ms. Susan Mizner, Mayor's Office on Disability expressed several concerns with the proposed rules. Ms. Mizner expressed approval of the policy change from describing guide dogs to the more inclusive service animals. She echoed concerns raised by others regarding how some of the rule might negatively impact those with psychiatric disabilities and suggested that the new policies be phrased as expectations rather than prohibitions. Ms. Mizner cited saying respecting other user's right to the quiet enjoyment of the library as a better approach. She also questioned if the rule concerning "excessive " use of restrooms could pose problems for the disabled. As her final point, Ms. Mizner noted that the prohibition against lying on the floor as problematic for some disabled individuals and suggested that her office would be happy to work with the library to resolve any issues of concern. Librarian Andrea Grimes applauded the updated guidelines and called attention to the over abundance of noise in the Main Library. Ms. Grimes recommended that in addition to the proposed rules on personal communications devices, the Library post signs requesting patrons turn off cell phone and pager ringers to reduce nuisance noise for other patrons and staff. Commission comment on Agenda Item #4 Commissioner Coulter agreed that language phrased as expectations rather than prohibitions might be considered and agreed that patrons should be encouraged to turn off cell phone ringers. Commissioner Coulter further commented that the Library had been in the forefront of providing services to the homeless. Commissioner Coulter recalled the very serious problems that had occurred in the old Main Library and discouraged some patrons from using it. In response to the Commissioner's comments, Library Security Chief Rachel MacLachlan explained that it was the practice of her staff to treat everyone consistently and that every effort was made to accommodate everyone. She noted that Library Security tried to strike a balance in protecting the rights of all library patrons. The Security Chief observed that it was important to make clear to everyone what the Library's expectations for conduct are. Ms. MacLachlan commented that except for some of those raised by the Mayor's Office of Disability all of these issues had been extensively discussed. Ms. MacLachlan suggested that the guideline regarding excessive use of restrooms could be reworded in such a way as to not cause worry to disabled patrons. The Library Security Chief stated that it was behavior that first and foremost determined how library staff responded to these issues. She also clarified that too strong perfume was just a serious a concern as other unpleasant odors. The Security Chief commented that while she appreciated some of the concerns voiced, in her view the proposed rules were a fair way to address these serious problems. In answer to a questions by Commissioner Bautista, Ms. MacLachlan discussed how the Library responded to concerns with misuse of library bathrooms by informing people about public bathing facilities and to illegal skateboarding activity. President Higueras suggested that the guidelines needed some further work, that some of the language may be too broad, and suggested that staff work with the Mayor's Office on Disability to resolve their concerns. The City Librarian proposed to bring a redraft of the guidelines to the Commission in August or September. Library Chief of Branches Donna Corbeil, commented that these rules were designed to serve the entire library system including the branches where there were very serious security concerns. She noted that staff only contacted the police in extreme cases where there was a threat or violence. Ms. Corbeil pointed out that staff made every effort to work with patrons to resolve concerns and that maintaining the security was important. The Chief of Branches noted that since the rules were originally written that circumstances have changed and led to the need for revised rules. Commissioner Chin joined the meeting at 5:31PM. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Agenda item #5 LIBRARY AFFINITY CENTERS UPDATE The City Librarian informed the Commissioners than in response to requests by Commissioners Coulter and Streets that she was proposing that regular reports be made to the Commission concerning the activities of the Library's various affinity centers. Ms. Hildreth then introduced Ms. Estella Manila, Librarian of the Filipino Interest Collection and Center. Ms. Manila gave an extensive report outlining the work of the Filipino Center since its beginning in 1996. Ms. Manila reported increased use of the Center with large numbers of library patrons accessing its collections. Ms. Manila then discussed various Friends and Foundation funded programming that the Center had offered, highlighting musical and cultural programs, literary workshops, author conversations, a special program on Moslem Filipinos, a book launch program, and Filipino American Historical Society programs. The Filipino Center Librarian reported on her activities in the Filipino American Community, and her sharing information at the American Library Association Annual meeting, including two exhibits calling attention to Asian Pacific writers. Ms. Manila pointed with pride to the inclusion of a historic photograph of a Filipino Catholic Club taken during the 1920s in the "New Main to New Millennium" exhibition. She reported that the Center actively sought speakers to help put its Filipino American collections to work and called attention to the Library's proposed efforts to digitize historic photographs of Filipino Americans to make them more widely available. Next the City Librarian introduced Mr. Stuart Shaw, Librarian of the African American center. Mr. Shaw reported that during the past nine months since he had been selected to be the African American Center's librarian that the Center had been very heavily used. Mr. Shaw commented that the Center was very popular not only as a reference center but that it also served as resource to answer questions by community members. Mr. Shaw then reported on several programs which the African American Center would be presenting in the near future, including a program on the book Pale Truth about Mary Ellen Pleasant and a program by the Rev. Tim Taylor, "Reclaiming Family History". Mr. Shaw then discussed the many programs that he had participated in, including the ALA Diversity Fair. The African American Center Librarian then informed the Commission concerning programming in the Center during the past two years, noting that as the Center became better known it was beginning to involve more members of the Community. Mr. Shaw called attention to the Annual Black History programs and reported that the popular "Unsung Heroes" program honoring community leaders in the African American Community would be held this year in November. He reported the Rev. Cecil Williams would be honored. Mr. Shaw called the Commissioners attention to the fact that the Center's Donor Plaque was being updated and that it would be re-installed soon. Public comment on Agenda item#5 LIBRARY AFFINITY CENTERS UPDATE None offered Commission comment on Agenda item #5 LIBRARY AFFINITY CENTERS UPDATE In response to questions by Commissioner Coulter, Mr. Shaw and Ms. Manila discussed their efforts to engage their respective communities in the African American and Filipino American Centers and inform them about the work of the Centers. In response to a comment concerning the relationships with the African American Historical Society and the Schaumburg African American Center at the New York Public Library, Mr. Shaw discussed his efforts to renew ties and to access information available. In response to a query by Commissioner Streets, Mr. Shaw explained in some detail his efforts to get the word out and to network with community leaders and organizations to raise the profile of the African American Center in the Community. Ms. Manila next outlined the 6 or 7 major programs that the Filipino American Center presented each year and called special attention to programming tailored to young adults and children. Ms. Manila then provided a summary of upcoming events that the Center was presenting. Ms. Manila then discussed the Filipino American film and video programs that she was presenting in November and in December reported there would be a program on Filipino Children's books. In response to a question by Commissioner Coulter, Ms. Manila discussed the various percentages of time she devoted to the Center, answering specialized reference questions, and staffing the 5th Floor desk. In response to another question by Commissioner Coulter, Ms. Manila called attention to the extensive Filipino American Collection located in the Excelsior Branch Library, noting that it was both popular and well used by the large Filipino American Community in its neighborhood. In response to similar questions by Commissioner Coulter, Mr. Shaw noted that the amount of time he spends in the Center varies depending on the demands of ongoing programming. Mr. Shaw additionally observed that he did spend time working with branch library staff to sponsor programs at the Bayview, Ocean View, Potrero Hill, and at the Western Addition Branch Libraries. Commissioner Coulter suggested that future presentations by the affinity center staff be done as a panel to facilitate discussion. He further requested that the supervisors of affinity center staff attend these presentations so that they could respond to questions. Commissioner Coulter inquired concerning center programming at branch libraries and also requested a report from the Friends and Foundation concerning its efforts on mainstreaming its outreach and support efforts on behalf of all of the affinity centers. Commission Coulter noted that outreach to the community was vital and wanted to know more about how the Library proposed to increase the quality of its outreach, involve more community leaders, and learn how to improve the centers by learning from successful models elsewhere. Commissioner Chin congratulated the library affinity centers staff for the important work they did for the Library and the community. She then called attention to the fact that the San Francisco Unified School District had just adopted new social studies materials which could be enhanced with the involvement of the specialized affinity centers collections in school programs.

It is a particularly special time in the life of many Luther Seminary students. As graduation approaches, the anticipation and hope for the future beyond seminary beckons with each passing day. And yet, "not so fast," we say. So many of the students at Luther have been deeply embedded in contexts with meaningful and generative relationships. Supervisors and staff, students and families alike, have welcomed them into the very fabric of their personal and communal lives.
I think of the many CYF students that I have journeyed with since they began at Luther a short time ago. For their contexts, we made some promises. We said that this student is not only coming to learn, but also to lead and to walk alongside in life, in suffering, in joy, in ministry.
With the power vested in you by the working of the Holy Spirit, you have done well, "good and faithful servant." Now go in peace, and continue to build a trustworthy world by making and living into such promises that are shaping and nourishing lives!
We said that these students would embody a certain way of life in their leadership. In particular, they would be passionate about children and youth, seeking ways to join them on the road they are on. They would be relational, as seen in the public ministry witness of Christ himself. We also said that our students would be mindful that they cannot do this work alone. We promised that they would enlist other adults and caring volunteers, to enter into the lives of these children, youth, and families in such a way that they would see that there is a whole cloud of witnesses that engages in ministry. This calling is not for the lone ranger!
We acknowledged that there would be times of crisis in kids and families lives, and ensured contexts that our students would be attuned to that reality. A theology of the cross brings depth and breadth to these moments in time. Not shying away from the hurt or disappointment, such theology dwells in solidarity with those who seek respite and quite often, seek presence and hope.
We also promised to send out students who were drawing wisdom and insight from scripture, from prayer, and from acts of mercy and justice. Methods and strategies for entering these practices and conversations were are big part of our promise.
And, finally we promised that our students would be encouragers. Charged with calling out the gifts of children and youth, our students took to fanning the flame, giving the nudge, finding the "spark" in each of the people they encountered.
And, you know what? When I look at our impressive list of graduates that are preparing to receive their diplomas this Spring? I can say, "We did it! We have fulfilled our promises!" Well, if any students are reading this, I should say: you did it. With the power vested in you by the working of the Holy Spirit, you have done well, "good and faithful servant." Now go in peace, and continue to build a trustworthy world by making and living into such promises that are shaping and nourishing lives!

I'm sure everybody here knows about a movie that is hitting theatres tomorrow called "MegaMind", and I hear it's supposed to be really big. To give things a twist with Dragoart's tutorials, I decided to go out on a limb and upload some of the figures you will be seeing in the movie. To start, what do you say we learn "how to draw Megamind", step by step. He is a crude blue super villain that wants nothing more than to destroy and disable Metro Man who is a character that carries an appeal very much like Superman. One of the things that makes Megamind dangerous is his mental capacity or in other words, his intellectual mind set. You see, Megamind is a very creative and smart individual. He not only processes the power to conquer over his feats, he is also a very determined criminal that will stop at nothing until he brings down Metro Man once and for all. One way he gets at Metro Man is when he skilfully kidnapped his girlfriend and news station reporter, Roxanne. He is going to be an easy character to sketch out, and if you are planning on going to the movie, you might want to try and tackle this tutorial after you get home from the theatres. Well, I guess that will do it for this lesson, I will be back in a bit with some other fun figures for you to draw. Adios people, and have fun.
DragoArt members upload artwork and drawing tutorials! They are also allowed to leave comments on tutorials, profiles, etc. Many more features, as well; it's way better than just being a boring guest! Register Now!

The only service I use is Fed Ex and USPS. In this case it was shipped USPS.Originally Posted by _dangtx_
good.and the tracking?
I didnt insure it!!! You told me not to!!!Originally Posted by _dangtx_
_dangtx_, be patient. I've had packages sent to Canada via standard mail take over two weeks. I have yet to lose a package but some take an extaordinarily long time to arrive. If he does refund you, and the package then arrives, I sure hope you send him money again.
im not really looking for refund,unless this package doesnt arive as well...
im intrigued,to say the least.
still waiting on the tracking number
ps they might fuse thy fore sale threads
i had someone on a different forum send me a package priority mail, and they only live 2 hours driving distance from me.... it took the package over 3 weeks to get here!!! i know the guy was being honest because of the post marked date...
Tracking numbers, delivery confirmation, and insurance are not available on international mail unless you spring for the more expensive shipping methods. I usually use Air Mail since it's cheap and fairly quick.
Don't be asking for a tracking number because you won't get it. Just be patient and it should arrive soon.
as mentioned above,ill wait..just for the hell of it
it might be diferent down south,but here anything insured is tracked.
ps he landed the refund option too fast
....Originally Posted by JediDrew
thats for initial shipment.last one he said he did,so if he backs up his words then ill keep fate ,still
if he says he didnt insure it (last) ..well...read the pm part

Playlist Creator 3.6.2

- PLS and M3U playlists - For compatibility with a wide variety of hardware and software Playlist Creator can create playlists both in PLS- and M3U-format.
- Open or insert playlists - Open existing playlist files to modify them or insert playlist files into your current playlist.

Mets GM Omar Minaya talked to reporters today from Citi Field, to answer questions about today's non-waiver trade deadline.
According to Minaya, he and his staff were working on potential trades up until 4 pm, but, as he said, 'We were just not able to get it done… We had some opportunities to do some things, but, in the end, I felt that what teams were asking for we couldn't find a match."
Minaya said one issue he had was knowing certain players would soon return from the disabled list, saying, "What are you gonna get for that player, and then what happens when the player comes back."
Minaya was asked specifically about players who were traded, like Victor Martinez, who would likely have interested the Mets, to which he said:
"The cost would have probably been too high… You have to take in to account where you are in the standings, and you have to take in to account the prospects you have… One thing that has been good about this process has been that I got a good feel for a lot of the teams and how much they like our prospects. But, some of those prospects that some teams wanted were too high to give them, and we have some pretty good young prospects… Unless it is someone we were going to hold on to beyond one year, we're gonna hold on to as many prospects as we can."
Minaya said he needed to balance out being six games back of the Wild Card, and protecting his farm system, while considering no one player would make up for the number of players he has on the DL.
"There are things that I left on the table that we'll be able to revisit later," Minaya said, speaking of players who could be had through the waiver wire in August.

Greg Schiano entered the NFL as a defensive backs coach with the Bears, so when his team came within a few yards of setting the league record for the most passing yards allowed last season, it was personal.
That's why he told defensive backs coach Ron Cooper to look for a new job. It's why 49ers All-Pro S Deshon Goldson was a must-sign at the start of free agency. It's also why the Bucs are willing to mortgage a good bit of their future to trade for Jets CB Darrelle Revis.
Tampa Bay allowed a staggering 11 completions of more than 40 yards and 69 of at least 20 yards last season.
"The big pass plays, those are killers," Schiano said. "They not only affect the game, but they affect the momentum of the game. When you're at home, it sucks the life out of your crowd, and when you're on the road, it ignites the crowd.
"Some of the changes we made are the result of people not doing things exactly how we wanted them done. We did make a staff change. I'm not going to duck that. … It's even more frustrating for me because that's supposed to be your area of expertise."
Fixing the problem began by replacing Cooper (who took a similar job at USF) with Jaguars defensive backs coach Tony Oden. Then the Bucs had to wrestle Goldson away from the Patriots, who also were major suitors, with a five-year, $41.25 million contract.
"(Goldson) represents who we are," Schiano said. "He's smart, he's tough, he's an intimidating player, in my opinion. That's kind of the way we want to play. He runs to the football relentlessly, and … we want to build our defense around … guys who play that way."
Schiano acknowledges Goldson and S Mark Barron share similar traits. Both are big hitters who thrive against the run but are adequate in coverage. "It doesn't matter to me," Schiano said. "We're actually an interchangeable safety defense. So there's not really a cover guy and a box guy."
The Bucs view Revis as a game-changing player worth paying twice for. They're willing to consider sending their first-round draft pick (preferably in 2014) and perhaps another high draft choice to the Jets, and they'd have to pay Revis about $15 million per year.
It's a chips-in-the-middle-of-the-table play by general manager Mark Dominik and Schiano. But in order for the Bucs to win Super Bowl XXXVII, they gave up a king's ransom for WR Keyshawn Johnson (a pair of first-round picks to the Jets) and four high draft picks to acquire coach Jon Gruden from the Raiders.
Those deals came back to hurt the Bucs in later years, but they'd do such a move again if it meant finding room for a second Lombardi Trophy. But the Bucs lose interest in Revis each day the Jets drag their heels.
BULLY ON BOWERS-CLAYBORN: Better coverage on the back end will help the Bucs' pass rush, which has been stuck in the mid 20s in sacks and near the bottom of the league for the past three seasons. Tampa Bay still would like to add another pass rusher and needs a defensive tackle to replace Michael Bennett and Roy Miller. But what they are banking on is a big year from DEs Adrian Clayborn and Da'Quan Bowers.
Clayborn showed speed and a lot of promise before his knee injury last season. Bowers missed the first half of the year recovering from an Achilles tear but used the time off in the weight room to get stronger.
"He's a tremendous athlete for a man his size," Schiano said. "He's explosive, and he's done it. If I'd never saw him do it, I would be concerned. It's our job to make him do it consistently. When you look at Da'Quan and say he hasn't been able to do it for a 16-game season, neither had Gerald (McCoy) until (last) year."
Is Bowers good enough to finish 2013 with double-digit sacks? "He needs to be. He should be," Schiano said. "That's why we drafted him."

Notorious human rights abusers draw inspiration from US authorities
Paul Joseph Watson
Monday, November 21, 2011
Egypt's infamous state security apparatus, notorious for spying on political activists and torturing dissidents, has renamed itself "homeland security," presumably in homage to its American namesake, which has also been used as a tool of political repression.
As part of the re-branding of dictatorship in Egypt, the same security force implicated in the imprisonment and torture of anti-Mubarak activists is busy reorganizing itself while maintaining intimidation and spying campaigns targeted against parliamentary candidates by bugging phone calls and harassing prominent critics of the ruling military regime's bloody crackdown on protesters.
"After some initial moves to purge the security forces, attempts at systemic reform were halted, say analysts and political observers. Under the auspices of the Ministry of Interior, the 100,000-strong state security service has been renamed homeland security and personnel moved around," the Financial Times reports today (emphasis mine).
Should we be concerned that a dictatorship which refuses to bow to the will of the people and allow democratic elections to proceed while engaging in savage attacks on demonstrators is re-naming itself after America's foremost post-9/11 federal agency?
Like the Egyptian secret police, the Department of Homeland Security has reinvented its role to serve as a tool of political repression in recent years. Under the Federal Protective Service (FPS), the DHS tracks the political activities of peaceful advocacy groups. The FPS was seen arresting photographers in Portland last week during an OWS rally. In 2004, the FPS arrested a veteran for the crime of complaining to his local VA office in Des Moines.
Big Sis also hires third party companies to spy on political organizations such as anti-tax groups.
It wouldn't be the first time that tormentors of pro-democracy protesters in Egypt have looked to America for inspiration in an effort to lend their brutal brand of authoritarianism a veneer of legitimacy.
As Washington's Blog noted earlier today, Egyptian authorities are justifying their brutal crackdown against protesters, with dozens killed over the last few days, by pointing to how U.S. law enforcement bodies are taking a "firm stance" against Occupy Wall Street protesters.
One example of this "firm stance" became a viral You Tube hit over the weekend, with video footage showing police at the the University of California pepper-spraying demonstrators directly in the face and throat.
As we reported earlier, the brutal crackdown on behalf of Egyptian authorities has registered barely a whimper of complaint from normally reliable 'humanitarian crusaders' like Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, presumably because their administration has been a vehement supporter of Egypt's not-so-transitional ruling military junta with billions of dollars in aid, most of which has gone directly to the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces (SCAF).

|Lexicon RT-20 Universal Disc Player
|Saturday, 01 April 2006
Page 3 of 3
The Downside
The downside of the RT-20 lies within its position in the marketplace and the timing of its release. As a universal disc player, the RT-20 is an exceptional product, clearly among the finest of its kind. The home theater industry, however, is just about to embark on a new era of high-definition home product this spring with the release of HD-DVD and Blu-ray. While it remains uncertain which of these competing technologies will eventually emerge as dominant, both technologies threaten the viability of the traditional DVD format. This is not to suggest that traditional DVD is dead. Quite the contrary. Both HD-DVD and Blu-ray players will all be backwards-compatible with DVD technology and many will scale to 1080p, thus keeping your old DVD collection viable for the foreseeable future. However, for potential consumers of the RT-20, the backwards compatibility of these high-definition players makes it extremely difficult to argue that spending $4,995 on the RT-20 is a smart investment. This is especially true when many of these high-definition players will easily break the $1,000 price point immediately upon their release. In defense of the RT-20, however, I would speculate that neither Blu-ray nor HD-DVD players will likely match the RT-20's video performance with traditional DVD and certainly none will match its performance playing traditional CD. In addition, it is highly probable that few if any of these players will be compatible with high-resolution SACD or DVD-Audio discs.
The RT-20 is a step forward in universal disc player performance and a clear improvement over its predecessor. With audio, the RT-20 is hard to beat. It plays all formats currently available with exceptional precision and remarkable clarity. In terms of HDMI video, the RT-20 produces a dazzling, artifact-free picture that, absent enhancement by an outboard scaler at several times its price, is about as good as DVD gets. The RT-20 does, however, also likely represent a final step forward for DVD performance, as revolutionary, high-definition video disc formats are scheduled to enter the market almost any day now. So who should purchase the RT-20? In my opinion, audio enthusiasts seeking ultra-high performance with their legacy music collections, particularly those with SACD and/or DVD-A collections, will be thrilled with the RT-20. Furthermore, consumers with a passion for home theater seeking exceptional performance from their existing DVD collections should audition the RT-20. The reality is that if you are setting up a new theater with video as your top priority and do not have a large DVD collection, the RT-20 is not your best option. Those consumers should go straight into the HD-DVD or Blu-ray market. This said, the RT-20 is a best-in-class performer for what it is designed to do and consumers who are lucky enough to afford one will certainly be rewarded with years of enjoyment.

|Absolutley amazing. I believe this is the first 100% ficticious language ever devised, and people actually speak it. Undeed, http://www.google.com/intl/xx-klingon/ is available in Klingon, but klingon sites seem to be sadly without design (http://www.google.com/search?hl=xx-klingon&q=Klingon&btnG=GoogleDaq+yInej). An excelent read for any trek fan, and one of the books that distinguishes the Trekkies from the TREKKIES

Wendy and Tom Montgomery went door-to-door in their California neighborhood in 2008 campaigning for the passage of an anti-gay marriage proposition. They were among thousands of faithful Mormons following the direction of a church that spent millions on the cause.
Then they learned last year that their 15-year-old son is gay — a revelation that rocked their belief system.
Now, Wendy Montgomery is leading a growing movement among Mormons to push The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS) to teach that homosexuality is not a sin.
They are hopeful. The Utah-based church's stance on homosexuality has softened considerably since it was one of the leading forces behind California's Proposition 8 ban on gay marriage.
A new Web site launched this year encourages more compassion toward gays, implores them to stay in the faith and clarifies that church leaders no longer "necessarily advise" gays to marry people of the opposite sex in what used to be a widely practiced Mormon workaround for homosexuality.
In May, church leaders backed the Boy Scouts' policy allowing gays in the ranks. Some gay Mormons who left or were forced out of the church say they are now being welcomed back — even though they remain in same-sex relationships.
It may seem like negligible progress to outsiders, but Mormon academic say this year has been a landmark year for the religion on gay and lesbian issues.
"For those who have been around as long as I have, to have Mormons and gays in the same sentence is quite something," said Bob Rees, a visiting professor of Mormon Studies at the Graduate Theological Union and the University of California, Berkeley.
Still, the church has only gone so far.
Church apostle Dallin Oaks reiterated this past weekend during a biannual conference that human laws cannot "make moral what God has declared immoral."
The church Web site, launched in December last year, reinforced that while same-sex attraction itself is not a sin, succumbing to it is.
The contrasting messages from the church have left many Mormons struggling to figure out where they stand.
Wendy Montgomery is among them. Her world changed after she read her son's journal in early last year and learned he was gay.
"It made me question everything," said Montgomery, 37, of Bakersfield, California. "I'm looking at this 13-year-old boy who is totally innocent and pure and an amazing kid and I think: 'Either everything I know about homosexuality is wrong, or my son is not really gay. And, he's obviously gay.' I kind of had to unlearn everything I had learned."
Wendy and Tom Montgomery set out on a grueling six-month spiritual journey as they reconciled their love for their son, Jordan, with the teachings of their lifelong faith.
They let family, friends and church mates know he was gay and established that they would not tolerate any harsh treatment of their son.
They remain faithful Mormons, but have switched congregations after enduring ridicule from friends and fellow church members.
Montgomery and her husband had to step down from their church positions — he was the assistant bishop and she was a Sunday school teacher to teens — after parents flooded the bishop's office with complaints that they were teaching homosexual propaganda.
Caitlin Ryan, the project director of Family Acceptance Project at San Francisco State University, which works with conservative religious families with gay children, has written a pamphlet specifically designed for Mormons that has been distributed throughout LDS churches in Utah.

Glad to tell let everyone know that we've finished these modules and after all pre-orders shipped we still have a couple in stock!
Drop us an email if interested!
all the very best
br> br>
br>Wow, Andre! You guys really are on another planet as far as development goes. Awesome and creative stuff, sir! br> br>
br>Is anyone stocking these in the US? Neither Analogue Haven nor Control appear to have the OHS. br> br>
br>Is anyone playing with these? I would love to see some video of what people are doing with them but for all their potential there is NOTHING online about them outside of press release-related stuff. No reviews and any who bought one don't want to share anything with us curious ones?
And what about ADDAC? No video? Why ya gotta be like that for such an intriguing piece?
br> br>
br>Bump. Anyone?
br> br>
br>Ditto bump I really want to see one of these in action.
You see so many timbre circuits on bread boards that you would think some one would wire it up to this bad boy and cv the shizzle out of it br> br>
br>This module is the very top of my buy list with my next check. If no one does a write up before I get one I'll try to type something up. br> br>

It would be great to see a video of someone playing with one. Who knows, perhaps others will follow. Regardless, I'm watching this topic so if you get one please do share whatever you're comfortable with. I know for a fact there are plenty of curious people out there regarding this module besides myself.
Here's to your next paycheck!
br> br>
br>I actually found a used one through the boards here which should arrive soon. I will be giddy if it hits my door step in time for the weekend.
I'm not sure if this module would be a good video though. I expect the intent of this is to give synth prototypers the Eurorack equivalent of what a web container is for software developers.... that is it'll provide all the interfaces: power, jacks, knobs, etc , you provide the actual signal processing / logic. Then you can immediately patch your design into your rack to test it out. I don't believe the intent is something you build on and put into your rack on a permanent basis.
In short, this modules should allow me postpone this kind of stuff until after the circuit is built:
- building a power supply to+/-12V
- designing inputs, putting in diodes to make sure the incoming signals flow correctly and getting all the signal levels right
- integrating control points
- etc
My plan for this is to get an O'tool, and the power starvation in a mini-rack and use it to convert some of top secret projects into modules. br> br>
br>I received my second-hand one in the middle of last week. I've only got to play with it a little bit but so far it seems to be exactly what I expected. I successfully built a LED tester using one of the build-in switches just to prove it works.
Maybe I can build a variant of the Atari Punk Console for a demo video. I'd need to modify the schematic as the power source choices are 5v or 12v. I figure it is something simple, recognizable and can use one or two of the built in features.
The power-switch is definitely comes in handy so you can leave your rack on as you make circuit changes. Generally there is a good selection of built ins to choose from but I would like to see a BOM with other knob values. (or it could be a project i build with it).
If you do Arduino stuff ... it looks like plugs in on the back so I could see that being inconvenient but there are interface points to it on the front.
As I said I plan to build out a mini-rack of testing / bending tools to turn a a lot of my DIY / hacked stuff into modules. For the really hardcore DIYers, I think I saw a Wi-fi module on Soundmachines site which could open the door for a lot of possibilities with this. I'm sure the new BASTL stuff with the motor / Solenoid stuff would pair well with this too. br> br>
thanks for the update!
So glad you are sharing some of your experiences with this open-ended piece. I didn't realize this could be used without an arduino attached.
Looking forward to any future updates you choose to share with us.
br> br>
br>is it possible to get one of these anywhere, new or used? br> br>
br>I recently ordered one of these. If anybody else is looking for one they are built to order and available directly from ADDAC System through their website. I'm looking forward to getting stuck in to it. br> br>
br>Paranormal Patroler
br>Bumping this thread as my gf is super interested in Arduino and I'm really considering one of these (who knows, maybe she'll make me a cool module!).
Got a bit interested myself after reading
this interview by Richard D James
who mentioned the ADDAC 210.

Lots of couples add little science fiction touches to their weddings, maybe a Doctor Who save-the-date card or a Star Trek quote during the vows. But some couples want to use their wedding to celebrate all the myriad ways science fiction has touched their lives, including this pair, who recently threw a wedding party that was heavy on both tradition and Firefly.
Katie and Kellan got together thanks to Dragon*Con, so it's only fitting that their nuptials were chalk full of fannish moments. As Firefly tributes, the groomsmen all wore Jayne Cobb hats while the bridesmaids carried Kaylee parasols, and each table was named after a planet in the Serenity 'Verse. The groom sported Superman on his shoes and on his ring, which bears the Superman sigil, and the invitations assured guests "Don't Panic."
And then there were the vows. Katie explains:
I promised to help support him through his World of Warcraft dungeons, and he promised to love me through all the evil uprisings that happens in sci-fi.
It looks like everyone had fun with the mishmash of fandoms, and despite the science fiction accessories and a first dance to Rammstein, it seems fairly traditional. You can see more geeky photos and descriptions of the wedding over at Offbeat Bride, which has scenes from tons of quirky weddings — and more steampunk wedding dresses than you could possibly ask for.

Storyline Suggestions
If you have suggestions for additional storylines, please use this thread rather than posting separate topics for each. Please remember that the following restrictions apply:
- A storyline can branch out into other storylines (i.e. if you succeed at storyline A then storyline B is available the next month, but if you fail then storyline C is used instead), but you cannot have branches within a storyline itself (i.e. you cannot have it so that if you win match #1 then match X happens, if you lose then match Y happens) but you can have different attributes applied depending on wins and losses to simulate different paths.
- The result of the storyline (succeed \ neutral \ fail) must be dependent on the results of the matches.
- If you have too many 'cast members' in the storyline it could become very difficult for many promotions to use it because they won't have enough people on the roster; usually you can assume there are at least 9 people plus the player himself.

I don't know if there is one, but what about a USA vs. Canada storyline? Winning the war would eventually establish you as a top contender for a title, and you must win the majority of the matches (If you're a American, you will face just Canadians and if you're a Canadian, you will face just Americans) to succeed. There could be a huge 5 vs. 5 match in the end to end the war.
I've barely seen any storylines since I only played the demo, but perhaps some company takeover thing where you can participate in or against?
At the risk of causing extra work, would it be possible to see a list of existing Storylines (and Attributes if possible) that are already in the game? It might help avoid duplication, as well as highlight what is possible.
Obviously don't know if there is this storyline but it would be great if there's a storyline that allows a woman wrestler to compete against men in company where there's a womens division. For example your woman wrestler has successfully defended the championship x times but gets called out by a male wrestler who says that the womens division is a joke. If you defeat that wrestler then you get to compete on the male side. I would imagine that something like this is an absolute necessity if you are going to achieve a lot of the goals in the game.
David vs. Goliath - The player is a light heavyweight or lower in size (or perhaps middleweight, not sure which would be better). He must face *insert heavyweight+ worker at his level here* in a series of matches that culminates in a gimmick match. Only the outcome of the final match matters but there is an extra reward for winning all four.
That can of course be changed around so it's more reasonable but overall I think it'd be a great addition implying it's not already in the game.
To perhaps replace the inevitable 'Under Pressure...' storyline for tag teamers after a particularly big tag team storyline (Legendary Champions, for example):
Splitting of a Partnership: As the result of a recent loss, your tag team partnership with X has fractured due to in-fighting. After a tag team match to get the breakup started*, you face your former partner in three head-to-head bouts. You must win at least two of those three contests for the storyline to be considered a success. Failure sees you losing popularity.
* = win or lose, it would be cool to have a post match beat down from your partner after that match.

In effort to create an illusion that the company you work is a living, breathing thing, it would be cool to have a manager interact with your (manager-less) wrestler.
Scouting Party: In effort to procure talent for his/her stable of wrestlers, Manager X has announced that he/she intends to scout the company's roster. Defeat three Level A* wrestlers in order to gain Manager X's attention. Losing one or more contests results in failure.
Failure could result in the 'Under Pressure...' storyline.
Success leads to...
An Offer You Can't Refuse: Impressed with your recent exploits, Manager X announces his/her intention to offer you a contract. First, you will must face and defeat three Level A wrestlers and one Level B wrestler. Winning all four matches results in a contract with Manager X. Losing more than one contest results in failure.
Failure leads to 'Under Pressure...'
Neutral leads to normal listing of storylines; i.e., manager loses interest
Success leads to manager contract.
* Level A = the level your wrestler works / Level B = one level higher
maybe in the next game we can be allowed to choose gimmicks and the gimmick can make differnt storylines happen? for example if you have the gimmick of Cult Leader maybe you have a storyline where you are collecting members to join the cult? either that or it connect to the gimmick type (Cool, Cocky, Weird, Crazy etc) so a crazy character just goes on a rampage through the roster, while a cocky character might have to try and fight guys who are made out to be better than he is in the roster so fights all of them to prove people wrong
