Congratulations to the newest clergyman of the Ordinariate for England and Wales, Deacon Edwin Barnes, formerly emeritus Bishop of Richborough, who was ordained to the Catholic diaconate yester-day, the feast of Our Lady of Lourdes (and World Day of Prayer for the Sick). He mentioned on his blog that the opening hymn at the Mass of Ordination was Thomas Ken's "Her Virgin eyes saw God Incarnate born", a fine example indeed of Anglican Patrimony entirely orthodox and catholic.
Curious as to its original text, I did some digging, and found that this hymn is a cento from a much longer poem in pious veneration of Our Lady's whole life, which appeared first in 1721, in a posthumous collection of his hymns or poems on the Christian Year, and was luckily available in toto via Google Books. I subjoin the entire text below, noting only that the hymn extracted from it is composed of lines 105-8, 115-122 and 183-6 thereof. It is interesting, though unsurprising, how what Ken writes of the childhood and youth of the Blessed Virgin, what her occupations, what her devotion, what her virtues, seems to recapitulate what St Ambrose wrote upon that subject.
His mother kept all theſe ſayings in her heart.
St. Luke ii. 51.
GOD, Who is pleaſed bright Angels down to ſend, 1
On purpoſe little children to attend;
When bleſſed Mary firſt drew vital air,
Entruſted her to a bright ſeraph's care;
The aged Saints, who for a child had pray'd, 5
Sang hymns to God when joyful parents made;
Devoted God's free gift to God alone,
And more God's child eſteem'd her than their own;
Her ſeraph kept her in his ſweet embrace,
No one foul ſpirit durſt approach the place; 10
The Holy Ghoſt His temple in her built,
Cleanſed from congenial, kept from mortal guilt;
And from the moment that her blood was fired,
Into her heart Celeſtial Love inſpired.
The babe, when ſhe began to ſpeak, was taught 15
To conſecrate to God her tongue and thought,
And, prompted by her ſeraph, took delight
Continual hallelujahs to recite ;
Her phylacteries next ſhe by degrees
Had learn'd, and to repeat them on her knees; 20
Thoſe which the love of God ſincere enjoin'd
Affected moſt her heaven-enkindled mind :
When ſhe began to read God's holy book,
In which ſhe her initiation took,
Her ſoul was with a heavenly manna fed, 25
Her ſpirit taſted every truth ſhe read ;
And ere ſhe ſaw two weeks of years complete
She the whole pſalter could by heart repeat;
From types, and what the propheſies foretold,
Which ſhe, by Heaven enlighten'd, could unfold, 30
She the idea of Meſſias drew,
Pray'd for His advent, kept Him ſtill in view;
Seven times a-day ſhe to her cloſet went,
Her fervent love in fervent prayer to vent ;
And her unwearied zeal was wont to pray 35
By warm ejaculations all the day ;
She in the depth of her ſerene repoſe
At midnight to her ſolemn office roſe :
As ſhe grew up love daily gain'd new heights,
And ſhe from them began ſublimer flights. 40
No Angel who e'er human likeneſs took
Had a more chaſte, ſweet, charming, heavenly look,
A look, which all at the firſt ſight revered,
And while it ſtruck a ſacred awe endear'd ;
Plain, cleanly, and becoming was her dreſs, 45
Had nothing curious, nothing of exceſs;
She idleneſs, the peſt of ſouls to ſhun,
In intervals of prayer her garments ſpun ;
Soon as herſelf ſhe decently array'd,
She veſtments for the poor and naked made ; 50
Charity, next to Heaven, abſorb'd her care,
The poor, in every meal ſhe eat, had ſhare ;
Her cloſet-meditations moſt ſublime,
Where with her God alone ſhe ſpent her time ;
Her languors, bleſſ'd Meſſias to behold, 55
Spring-tides of Heaven, whicho'er her ſpirit roll'd;
Humility, which all proud thoughts ſuppreſs'd,
As if no one perfection ſhe poſſeſs'd,
Her will transfuſed into the will Divine,
Accuſtom'd with God's will to co-incline; 60
Her ſanctity to God's true likeneſs grown,
Her frequent viſits from the glorious throne
A ſilent admiration may create,
None but her guardian ſeraph can relate.
To parents, next to God, ſhe reverence paid, 65
They ſweetly ruled, as ſweetly ſhe obey'd ;
She was the ſubject of their prayer and praiſe,
Their tender nurſe in their declining days;
Heaven warn'd them their dear daughter to commend
To reverend Joſeph's care, their ancient friend, 70
A ſaint, who would her purity protect,
And treat her with angelical reſpect;
To her dear parents' choice ſhe choſe to yield,
And the eſpouſals ſolemnly were ſeal'd;
Gabriel meanwhile from bliſs flew down full-ſpeed, 75
To tell her as ſhe pray'd that Heaven decreed
She the Meſſias in her womb ſhould bear,
Whoſe ſight had been the ſubject of her prayer;
The boundleſs might of Fontal Love Divine
The love co-breathed, third of the Glorious Trine, 80
On thee deſcending ſhall thy womb diſpoſe
Great filial God incarnate to incloſe ;
She ſcarcely could believe her ears and eyes,
The meſſage had ſuch rapturous ſurpriſe,
Till Gabriel her aſſured it was God's will, 85
Which 'twas her ſole ambition to fulfil;
And as he back to Heaven his flight began
In a love tranſport ſhe conceived God-man ;
While Godhead templing in her womb remain'd,
What influence from God within ſhe gain'd, 90
What ſuavities, loves, languors, ardours, lights,
Joys, jubilations, beatific ſights,
What rapts when ſhe Magnificats compoſed,
Or when t' Eliſa Gabriel's news diſcloſed,
Her ſpirit fill'd, no poetry can gueſs, 95
Herſelf could never what ſhe felt expreſs.
Joſeph with jealous eye her change beheld,
Till a bright Angel all his doubts diſpell'd ;
Then both at Nazareth lived a bliſsful life,
Moſt tender huſband, moſt ſubmiſſive wife ; 100
Their chaſtity was free from ſenſual taints,
Their mutual love pure, as in heavenly Saints ;
His Angel and her Seraph could not join
In friendſhip more endearing, more divine.
When ſhe to Bethlehem came that happy morn, 105
Her virgin-eyes ſaw God incarnate born ;
How high her raptures then began to ſwell,
None but her own omniſcient Son can tell;
God-man, who deigns to temple in pure hearts,
A wondrous love to common ſaints imparts, 110
Gives them of heavenly love foretaſting ſight,
To comprehend its length, breadth, depth, and height ;
Much greater love to His dear Mother ſhew'd,
Heaven in ſweet deluge on her ſpirit flow'd;
As Eve when ſhe her fontal ſin review'd, 115
Wept for herſelf, and all ſhe ſhould include ;
Bleſs'd Mary, with man's Saviour in embrace,
Joy'd for herſelf, and for all human race;
All Saints are by her Son's dear influence bleſs'd,
She kept the very fountain at her breaſt ; 120
The Son adored and nurſed by the ſweet maid,
A thouſand-fold of love for love repaid ;
Saints, who of God have beatific view,
Such mighty joys peculiar never knew ;
They to hymn God as vot'ries are employ'd, 125
As mother of the God they hymn'd, ſhe joy'd.
But yet to temper rapturous exceſs,
Her joys below were mingled with diſtreſs ;
When ſhe a mother, yet a virgin pure,
Purification legal would endure : 130
Simeon, who honour'd was God-man to hold,
The ſword, which ſhould the Mother pierce, foretold,
Her Son was born our griefs to undergo,
She ſweetly ſympathiſed in all His woe:
The wound which firſt check'd her ecſtatic joy, 135
Was Herod's plot the Infant to deſtroy;
But warn'd by Heaven, to Egypt ſhe took flight,
God cured that wound by baffling Herod's ſpite;
Babe, Virgin, Joſeph, when the ſtorm was o'er,
Return'd to Nazareth, where they lived before, 140
There humble and obſcure the parents dwelt,
And of their Son, God-man, the bleſſings felt;
Above two luſtres in ſweet peace they ſpent,
Then with their wondrous Son to Salem went;
The Virgin there received a ſecond wound, 145
Which ſoon was cured when the dear Child they found ;
All three to pleaſant Nazareth then retired,
Where Joſeph in the Virgin's arms expired ;
God-man Himſelf his abſolution ſpake,
His ſpirit long'd its priſon to forſake ; 150
Son then and Mother lived exempt from noiſe,
Reciprocating heavenly loves and joys.
Into the world ſoon as bleſs'd Jeſus came,
His mediatory-office to proclaim,
Bleſs'd Mary, who in her reflecting ſoul 155
Took care all Jeſu's actions to enroll,
Who had of ſin and Love Divine, a ſenſe
Next to her Son, moſt lively, moſt intenſe,
When ſhe His Love, which ſinful man redeem'd,
Saw daily ſcorn'd, inſulted, and blaſphemed, 160
The ſword pierced daily through her tender heart,
And ſhe of all His ſorrows felt the ſmart;
But when ſhe on the Croſs beheld God-man,
Up to the hilt the dol'rous weapon ran.
Soon as He left His grave her joy revived, 165
She from her Son freſh ſprings of joy derived;
To John's dear care ſhe by her Son conſign'd,
To his ſole manſion her abode confined ;
The bleſs'd above adore their heavenly King,
Contemplate, love, converſe, rejoice, and ſing, 170
Thoſe were her ſole employments day and night,
Her converſation darted heavenly light;
To all the hours of prayer ſhe daily came,
When any cool'd, her zeal refreſh'd their flame ;
She to Devotion all her time applied, 175
She lived as if already glorified ;
Her love ſtill languiſh'd for the happy day,
When to the grave ſhe ſhould reſign her clay,
Exulting when the world ſhe was to leave,
And her divine Viaticum receive, 180
Fell ſick, and died of an exceſs of love,
Haſt'ning to her reſtorative above ;
Heaven with tranſcendent joys her entrance graced,
Next to His throne her Son His Mother placed ;
And here below, now ſhe's of Heaven poſſeſs'd, 185
All generations are to call her bleſs'd.

The man who was arrested after he fled police when they tried to serve him a warrant had violently beat two women before the manhunt in Sharon last month.
New York State Police said they were investigating 28-year-old Raymond Sprague, of Sharon, Connecticut, on Sept. 3 because of a domestic dispute in the town of Northeast and obtained a warrant charging him with third-degree criminal mischief, fourth-degree criminal possession of a weapon, second-degree menacing and second-degree criminal trespass.
On Sept. 28 around 8 p.m., Connecticut State Police received a report of a disturbance in Sharon. They identified Sprague as the suspect and obtained a warrant for him on assault-related charges, according to police. He was later arrested after leading police on a day-long manhunt.
U.S. & World
According to witnesses, Sprague had become violent with two women prior to the manhunt and even encouraged his dog to attack one of the women.
The victims say they were having dinner together at one of their homes in Millerton, New York, with a mutual friend. One of the women had recently dated Sprague but their relationship ended a week before the incident. One witness said Sprague kept calling and threatening the ex-girlfriend, according to the arrest warrant.
The mutual friend had left his car at Sprague's place in Sharon, Connecticut, so they went to go pick it up. While the two women waited in the car, Sprauge came out of the house and began punching his ex-girlfriend in the face several times, the warrant said.
Sprague began punching the second woman when she tried to get him to stop attacking his ex-girlfriend. When Sprague went back to punching the ex-girlfriend, the other woman was attacked by the man's dog and dragged about 7 feet, the documents said.
The witness said she thought she was going to die and that she heard Sprauge say "Get her, get her."
After the attack, Sprague got in his pickup truck and left, the victims told police.
Sprague was charged with second-degree assault, third-degree assault, two counts of threatening and disorderly conduct.

Google is way more than a search engine. But while up-to-date techies like our Geek.com faithful are already familiar with the dozens of other services and sites run by the Big G, the Average Joe might not be.
To get those users better acquainted, Google has built What Do You Love (www.wdyl.com). Pop in any search term and Google generates a collage of content from a wide range of its products. Panels displayed on WDYL include everything from images stored on Picasa, stories from Google News, titles offered via Google Books, relevant YouTube videos, and blog posts from Blogger.
Google also tries to entice users to try out Gmail, Calendar, Moderator, and Voice — though somewhat awkwardly. Is a thumbnail showing "date with Red Wings" really going to get me interested in Calendar? Ok, possibly, but it still looks a bit odd.
Chrome, of course, is not left out. WDYL invites you to "access [your term] stuff on the web, faster" and displays a cleverly rendered (albeit tiny) Chrome window with three Google Image Search thumbnails inside. It's amazingly authentic, even displaying an animated .GIF on my #red wings page.
In the left margin of the page, you'll find a navigation slider which lets you scroll smoothly up and down the page, as well as sharing icons. Unsurprisingly, you won't find Twitter or Facebook — just Buzz and Gmail, but that's not really a shock given the nature of the WDYL page.
Off to give What Do You Love a try? It works best with broad terms — like bacon, for example.

Gotham Season 1 Now on Netflix
Good news TV binge watchers! Looks like Fox's Gotham has finally gone and made it's way to Netflix as of today and if you start watching now, you could potentially make through the whole thing before Season 2 starts airing tomorrow night.
Gotham follows Gotham City Police Department Detective James Gordon as he traverses the seedy city in an effort to rid it of it's ever rising criminal empires. Oh yeah, it's also a Batman origin story, so there's that.
Anyway, make sure you pick up some popcorn on your way home tonight because you've got some TV watching to do.

Last June, I wanted to sell a bicycle. Where else to unload it but on Craigslist, right? A potential buyer emailed me within hours asking for details beyond what I'd posted on the site. After receiving the new information, he said he'd come over to view the bike. Did he intend to haggle? I coached myself on how to hold the price firm. But he never showed up. When I tried to expand my initial wording that evening, I found that the post was gone despite Craigslist having promised that it would remain on the site for seven days. Bewildered, I clicked on the link the company provides to ask after the fate of disappeared postings. What happened? No answer after several tries.
Several days later, I sold the bike to a used-bike store for a third of the price I'd first sought, grumbling all the while about Craigslist's flawed free service (the company also offers paid ads). Those were my last thoughts about the company. Until recently, that is, when Nick Nascimento emailed me his own complaints. "Craigslist is now out of control," wrote Nascimento. "What was once the friend of small business has now become a tool to put small businesses out of business." (For full disclosure, Nascimento once worked in advertising sales for the Reader.)
Five years ago, Nascimento started AGeek2Go, LLC, a computer-servicing business operating throughout San Diego County. The company struggled at first because "in the good old days, when people had money," Nascimento tells me, "so many just went out and bought a new computer when their old one gave them trouble." He put the business on hold until a year and a half ago, when customers began to call asking where he'd been. At first, they turned up through word of mouth. Then, by advertising on Craigslist, Nascimento says he began to make a killing. But last summer, that changed, as Craigslist began to remove his posted ads.
Nascimento and I are meeting at the On the Border restaurant on Mira Mesa Boulevard. He is lunching on a fish taco between service calls, while I sample his guacamole hors d'oeuvres. We talk for a half hour before repairing to the Barnes and Noble next door, where the store's Wi-Fi allows us to look on Nascimento's laptop at the history of his Craigslist postings. What they show is a long series of successful posts, followed suddenly by continuous messages from Craigslist saying that the submissions were deleted.
As soon as the deletions started, Nascimento says, he immediately began asking, "Where have I screwed up? How can I suddenly be breaking the company's rules when I've successfully posted the same ads previously for months? Then, to make matters worse, when I complained to Craigslist, saying that the site was running many ads that were breaking the rules while mine were not, they banned my account for 90 days."
Last November, Craigslist reported that only 30 employees run the site from its headquarters in San Francisco. The company relies on its users to flag ads that break its "Terms of Use." Such violations include posting too frequently or in the wrong category. But an ad that users deem "too commercial" also invites flagging, although how much commercialism will be tolerated is not specified.
In an October 10, 2007 interview in Freakonomics — a blog that was then on the New York Times website — Craigslist founder Craig Newmark and chief executive Jim Buckmaster responded to the issue of ads being mysteriously flagged off the site with no subsequent explanations by the company. "With over 30 million people per month visiting our site," said Newmark, "the most effective way to deal with bad stuff is to enlist the community in self-policing. So if you find an ad that's wrong, please flag it, and if others agree with you and flag it themselves, then it's removed automatically. Almost always, flagged ads that were thought to be legitimate later proved to have violated community-requested guidelines.… What works for us is the culture of trust our community has built with us. We have two core values: treat others like you want to be treated, and live and let live."
"I am continually impressed by the wisdom and fairness of Craigslist users in setting community guidelines and then enforcing them," added Buckmaster.
That "wisdom" seemed to be a no-show when Nascimento entered Craigslist's "Help Forum" shortly after his posting troubles began. He shows me a number of responses he received from users, whom Craigslist allows to comment in the forum. One commenter wrote, "There you go again, blaming your FREE…ad on the entire failure of your business. Perhaps a flaw in your business plan????" Another, "Who ever you are just go away please.… TRY GETTING A LIFE." And, "Really? Your business plan…is so tied in to free ads on CL that you're blaming the flagging of your ads on having to let go employees? I'm stunned."
Nascimento is hardly the only complainer. There are scores online. "It's always the same," he says. "Just the names are changed."
Take this cry for help on Yahoo! Answers. "My competitor is flagging me mercilessly on Craigslist.… How can I fight back? I own a small mattress company and pay someone to run it for me. My main competitor is a larger company.… When I started, I'd post 3, maybe 4, ads daily, but he would flag them all. I know it's him because my best friend works for him and has told me that he does flag all my ads, so I'm 100% sure it's him. He will post 40 to 50 ads daily. This is not an exaggeration, I counted. Some days I'll post 15 to 20 ads just to get up there but my competitor will flag them all down.… One night I stayed up and posted 10 ads. They all stuck. By 9 o'clock in the morning they were all gone.
"How on earth is he doing this?
"I've tried everything to stay up there but he flags every single one of them down every day and I can never take down any of his. I'm not trying to put anybody out of business or damage somebody's business. I'm happy sharing the pie with everybody. But this guy is literally taking food off of my table by doing what he's doing. In the beginning I tried to fight the good fight and just post more ads and not flag his…two wrongs don't make a right, right? The more I posted the more he flagged and now I'm probably less than 3 months from going under.… I'm not one to do something like this but he's not going to stop until I'm out of business. Can somebody please tell me how to flag this guy so he stops flagging me?"
Nascimento invites me to place the simplest ad I can think of in Craigslist's computer "Services" section. "It'll be gone in 10 minutes," he says. "You watch." So we place an ad with a generic promise to help "with your computer problems at a reasonable rate." Then we wait. At about the 20-minute mark, Nascimento says, "This reminds me of going to the doctor for a pain that doesn't hurt once you get there." But sure enough, just as we are leaving, the ad is deleted. Since it takes a number of flags (no one is sure how many) to prompt Craigslist to delete, I wonder how it can happen so fast.
"These companies that are flagging off their competition have to be hiring somebody to do it," Nascimento says. "If I, the little guy, spend all my time reposting, then I can't get anything else accomplished. Obviously, I don't want to do that. But the bigger guys? They just pay somebody to watch Craigslist all day long and do the flagging."
Still, there have to be a number of flaggers, right?
Nascimento calls my attention to 16 YouTube videos that explain how it's done. Craigslist determines whether flags are coming from different sources, he says, by automatically monitoring their internet protocol numbers. "So all the bad guys do," says Nascimento, "is keep changing one number in their [internet protocol] identities before they flag. That's what one video tells you how to do."
When I bring up the first video, which is oriented to the real estate industry, the narrator is talking about "the ultimate in the art of war. I'm going to show you," he says, "how to dominate your Craigslist market." The technique relies on the use of "proxy" internet addresses that prevent Craigslist from seeing that the flags are coming from one location only. This "Craigslist flagging tool" allows you to have new flags, close to 50 of them, sent from a different address every ten seconds.
But the video Nascimento wants me most to see, called "How to Flag Unlimited Craigslist Ads," advises against the use of proxies. "They suck," the new narrator says. "They're too hard to find." What he describes instead is a multistep method, using a number of software tools, of changing your internet protocol number. He admits that what he is doing is controversial. Some people will see it as only helping the crooks put more people out of business. But he feels that he must blow up the phenomenon. If enough people start doing it, he believes, Craigslist will finally have to take steps to control the flagging that is making a joke of its free service.
"It would be easy," says Nascimento. "All Craigslist would have to do is charge a dollar for each ad. I'd pay it, no problem. Then they could afford to hire company moderators of all the flagging that takes place on their site. They know exactly what's going on. After wiping out so many advertising sellers by now, they need to be responsible. Originally, we all thought Craigslist was a hero, standing up for the little guy. But now the big guys have turned everything around, and Craigslist doesn't care."
As of this writing, Craigslist has not responded to my questions about what, if anything, they are doing to address the situation.

Not surprisingly, none of them has yet to respond to my letter. After all, the changes that I'm suggesting are not easy ones for the site owners to make. Ridding their sites of personal ads and other adult-oriented categories that run amok with criminal activity could impact their bottom lines. More...

I don't think you and I want separate things. You wanted the police to do their job in monitoring your streets to keep yourself, your family, and your friends, safe. Geebo wants online classified sites to do their job in monitoring their sites to keep yourself, your family, and your friends, safe. I am glad that prostitution has decreased in your community. However, Geebo is a community as well. Aren't we equally entitled to want something done to clean up our online community? I believe so.
The problem, whether online or out your front window, might never truly disappear. But this isn't a reason to do nothing to prevent or preempt its facilitation. I trust you didn't stop calling the police and requesting action to be taken. Similarly, we won't either.
So how do you sell your stuff thru CL if you don't have the person come to your house? I take it you sell things that are small enough to fit in your pocket and you meet them somewhere? For anything bigger than a breadbox, I don't see any way around having the buyer come over, pay, and leave with the item.
Craigslist is just another cyber-giant operating behind a firewall. They will do what they want, when they want, and how they want to do it. If you don't like it, or voice an opinion they don't care for, your account will be banned: http://greenalsgasses.com/censorship/banned-conservatism-censored-on-the-craigslist-community-political-forum/
He's not a cry baby. He's got a valid point. CL has caused a lot of people problems and that's a fact. They have a virtual monopoly on classified ads and thus people are virutally forced into using CL. I have seen people go into their Help forum to get help with tech-related problems and it was there where their employees treated some people like garbage. And they, the CL crew, at times talk disrespectfully to people by posting anonymously with fake names.
There's no call for that.
They do jerk people around and it appears as if the boys working for them do it for kicks and giggles. People who go to their Help forum are simply trying to accomplish tasks, trying to get things done. It's bad enough that people have to write notes back and forth to each other in order to try and solve some tech issues that are a little complex or frustrating in nature. Passing notes takes up a persons time and it, depending on the severity of tne problem, can be a bad way to try and convey technical information that is meant to troubleshoot a problem.

The forums are for users. One in a million posts from staff are clearly marked as such. You have never seen a staffer do what you allege to be a common problem.
Many posts in help desk forum are from pranksters, trolls, and just plain incompetent surfers. That's in addition to some legit issues. It's a relatively open forum.
As for monopoly, that's not even laughable.
"You have never seen a staffer do what you allege to be a common problem."
Haven't "seen it" cause you're in a remote location in a room only god knows where. Which is why you can pull act like a troll towards users and get away with it. Not to mention the sockpuppets you use. Don't be stupid cause we're not.
An amusing story which bears little resemblance to the facts in general and fails in some facts in particular. Congratulations on a trivial hit piece written from ignorance if not worse.
Your star witness is the one who wrote "Who ever you are just go away please.… TRY GETTING A LIFE." http://craigslist.org/forums/?ID=181020257 Right? Yes, flag help can be rowdy but it DOES represent "folk wisdom". Also, your star witness failed to follow forum guidelines both times he started a thread there. That never helps a serious request for help. It also seems from what little you both say that he had been abusing the site for some time while he was "making a killing" or some such.
Your own anecdote is amusing but ambiguous or worse. You were trying to sell a used bike on craigslist for 3x what a bike shop would pay for it?! Surely you jest, Shirley! And you gave up when you say your post "disappeared" after you got one flakey inquiry (to your grossly overpriced "item")? This is literally unbelievable, as are other things you wrote.
"As of this writing, Craigslist has not responded to my questions about what, if anything, they are doing to address the situation."
Which situation? That there is a lot of trash talk on the web? LOL! That you couldn't post a new ad for your bike? No staff support for free ads. That your star witness evidently had been abusing the site for a long time and was "banned" (his term which doesn't fit common craigslist terminology at all) for 90 days? To paraphrase his own words, "Get a life!"

I posted 'on the help forum under a registered handle' and got nothing but snide remarks along with the insistence that the problem was with me, not the site. They're absolutely incapable/unwilling to address the issue of underhanded tactics employed by those who're out to silence their competition's posts. And just like Hedda's smarmy off-point response, the only help you'll get in dealing with auto-flaggers is denial, deflection, or distraction.
Sorry, ruth, but you don't say what handle, so your allegation is not credible. Also please don't mis-attribute -- the cl-flag help forum is not the same as the cl-help desk forum, and neither forum claims to be anything more than a user to user forum. So, don't expect other users to be able to solve any alleged problems of craigslist management.
In point of fact the odds are that flagging complaints are unjustified. So the "burden of proof" is on the complainer. People who complain about a free service, without even bothering to follow forum or posting guidelines and the formal TOU ... just what kind of respect do they deserve when they show up with assumptions, arrogance and "attitude"?
Anyway, the offer is open to Mr. Deegan or any other user of craigslist. YMMV but try not to poison the well. Say hello if you "see" me in the cl-help desk forum.
"Sorry, ruth, but you don't say what handle, so your allegation is not credible. Also please don't mis-attribute -- the cl-flag help forum is not the same as the cl-help desk forum, and neither forum claims to be anything more than a user to user forum. So, don't expect other users to be able to solve any alleged problems of craigslist management."
And you're not very credible either.
Some of the "helpers" in their Help Desk forum answer questions around the clock morning and night five to seven days a week and some of them have been doing that since 2005.
So just how do their so-called "volunteers" support themselves if all they do is answer questions in their Help forum?
Ruth didn't say who she was not because she's not credible but because she wouldn't want to experience retaliation from any one CL team member who works their Help Forum. CL knows who people are thanks to personal information we have to provide CL with. Retaliation means problems that could affect a persons ability to use CL. Unfortunately she, like most people, needs CL due to CL's virtual monopoly.
Your statement is not credible. Your statement is intended to get average people to buy into the idea that there are no CL representatives who work in their Help forum therefore they should not be held accountable for any exchange(s) that might be defined as a bad exchange i.e. a personal attack, name calling, ridicule, cyber-harassment, etc, etc.
"And you're not very credible either."
I'm not the one complaining, and I did offer to meet "ruth" in that cl forum with any real help issue. "ruth" may use any registered handle she likes, as may you, "4k9dk1h5e0a3s6m2fr7l8b4w7g6z2p". But you're obviously only about slime and smear tactics, so good luck with those.
In fact, no personal info is required to post in cl-help desk forum (unless you're on a subnet being used to attack the site). Beyond that the only info needed is a disposable email address with which to open an account. Paranoia ain't pretty, bud.
There are no staff posting in the forums except the very rare gold/amber handles readily identifiable as staff -- one in a million, roughly (yes there are stats). So "CL team" is a fiction on your part, but yes some users do drop in often, though I doubt you can prove 24/7.
What's your angle anyway -- for all that trash talk??

"Cars and trucks" is one example of where the crooks are taking over the site. Try typing in and searching for tacoma, and you will find numerous instances that are constantly updated, of ads that have trucks worth $10,000 - $15000 that are being offered for less than $5000. When you contact them with the email address your told that they will ship the car to you and you need to give all your personal info to some paypal site.
Craigslist is becoming a joke!!!
Post my handle and then be ridiculed like YOU did with the subject of this article? (e.g. making unwarranted comments about his business practices while suggesting that no one should expect much from a "free" site.)
Putting the onus on the "complainers" instead of investigating their allegations resolves nothing. There's nothing "helpful" about defending a system that's broken.
How did Craigslist allow you to support yourself during the two year period when you took care of your mother?
I have hired employees, found chit, and everything else on craigslist for the last decade. One thing I can say is never try to "give away" anything on CL. It's a hassles and waste of time. Some people want you to deliver it. Others ask too many questions about something that you're offering for free instead of sending to the landfill.

From a seedling
on one branch
early slaveholders,
on another
an abolitionist . . .
the shades of my forebears
beneath the ground
the remains of a tree—
till I phone her
she doesn't realize
it's Mother's Day
—Skylark, winter 2016
I had intended to post this here in time for Mother's Day. I believe "beneath" was written in May 2015.
The abolitionist refers to a colorful, English-born great, great grandfather of mine who was acquainted with the well-known antislavery figure John Brown. Luckily, he didn't ride with the gang that fateful day to Harper's Ferry. Other ancestors of mine, from another line, settled in Virginia Colony from England around 1650. It appears that ancestors on that "branch," early on, were landholders and possibly surveyors. And, yes, apparently at least some of them had a few slaves.

Renewables Conference Advances Green Education
COLUMBIA - People from across the US and Canada attended the seventh-annual Advancing Renewables in the Midwest conference Monday at the Christopher S. Bond Life Sciences Center on the MU campus.
Special speakers shared details on developing energy sources such as biomass, farm waste, solar and wind. Stacey Paradis, deputy director of Midwest Energy Efficiency Alliance, spoke about the four things that utility-scale efficiency programs need to do, including: repaying rebates, recovering dollars from lower sales, recovering assets, and either providing penalties or incentives for people to use energy efficient programs.
Other speakers like Sidney Jackson, director of client relations for Miso Energy, said his organization created a method to use wind as a valuable resource, which will increase wind power's reliability.
During an intermission between speakers, guests had an opportunity to browse displays from state and local businesses that promote sustainable energy.
The Columbia Water and Light's display was a model of a house that provided participants the ability to see how pressure changes from a leaking window can cause inefficient use of electricity. As a solution, Levi Strotman, Water and Light employee, said free pressure tests are available to Columbia residents.


text: The displays at this vibrant school were so big, bright and bold I couldn't miss them. This one of Big Red Bath caught my eye as soon as I came into the foyer. There were more throughout the school featuring old favourites and more recent titles. I don't think I've ever seen so much artwork featuring my books in one school.

Audiences will get their first glimpse at Avengers: Infinity War within the next few months, says Marvel Studios head honcho Kevin Feige. Principal photography for Anthony and Joe Russo's highly-anticipated Avengers film has been underway in Atlanta, GA, for the past five months, and we've already seen several set photos and production videos crop up online. Although the cast and crew are close to wrapping production on the upcoming superhero movie, audiences still have to wait almost another year to see the finished product on the big screen.
Until then, franchise fans have three other movies within the Marvel Cinematic Universe to look forward to: Jon Watts' Spider-Man: Homecoming, Taiki Waititi's Thor: Ragnarok, and Ryan Coogler's Black Panther -- all of which Feige says will heavily influence Infinity War. Superhero team-up films are no longer a novelty; people have become used to these productions thanks to past Avengers films as well as movies like Captain America: Civil War. Still, nothing of this magnitude has ever been attempted before, and audiences can't wait to get their first look at the film.
The Russos' Avengers: Infinity War unites Earth's mightiest heroes -- the Avengers along with other superheroes like Spider-Man and Doctor Strange -- with the Guardians of the Galaxy, presumably for an ultimate showdown with the Mad Titan Thanos (Josh Brolin). That's something that the shared universe's overarching narrative has been building towards since Joss Whedon's The Avengers released in 2012. Fans are undoubtedly excited, and it's something Feige has addressed numerous times while promoting Spider-Man: Homecoming. While speaking with ComicBook, Feige revealed that the first Infinity War trailer should arrive with Thor: Ragnarok.
"It's a good question. I'm not sure. I think it would be late summer, early, mid fall? Ragnarok, probably."
It makes sense that Marvel Studios would choose to release the movie's first trailer alongside one of their productions; it's a common practice in Hollywood, in addition to releasing trailers alongside similarly-themed releases. For instance, the first trailer for Whedon's Avengers: Age of Ultron debuted during an episode of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., while many other first trailers have aired during episodes of Jimmy Kimmel Live (another ABC/Disney program). Although releasing the first teaser with Thor: Ragnarok makes the most sense, it begs the question, will the studio will show anything from the movie at San Diego Comic-Con next month?
After skipping the entertainment convention two years ago, Marvel Studios returned to Hall H last year and they will be showing up this year as well (banners for Ragnarok and Black Panther have already taken over San Diego). Looking back at previous years, the studio has shown brief footage from upcoming releases as well as first look images promoting certain characters. Attendees should expect to see something along those lines at next month's event, though it's unlikely those promotional materials will be officially released online.

Northeast Rehab reports that the Nintendo Wii is being used as an additional option in the therapy process. "It gets people to move; they stand up, work on balance, weight shifting, endurance and strength while having fun in the process," explains Pam Ayotte, Team Leader of Therapeutic Recreation at Northeast Hospital.
Although it is not replacing traditional therapies, recreation with the Wii can be especially helpful for stroke patients who have weakness on one side or visual neglect. Having to deal with moving the mechanism and pressing buttons to hit a tennis ball or bowl a strike etc., patients concentrate on the game and not their limitations.
Active video games are also being recommended for pain management, Multiple Sclerosis, traumatic brain injury and a wide range of diagnoses. Even speech therapists find the video game helps increase attention span, memory and ability to follow instructions. "We have even had a patient ask for a prescription to purchase a Wii to use at home for therapy," says Pam Ayotte.
"Although that isn't an option we can prescribe" says John Prochilo, CEO and Administrator, "we are excited to see patients making progress while using the Wii."

JQuery Validate for 3 field date
A difficult and challenging task I had been given is to use the JQuery validate.js to validate the date fields, but this was then split out into 3 fields. One for day, month and of course year, which sounds easy, but it was not. The issue comes that validate.js is built to validate one field on its own and we wanted to validate not just each field, but also as a whole date.Read More JQuery Validate for 3 field date

Bishkek [Kyrgyzstan], Jun 14 (ANI): Fourteen agreements, including those on cooperation in sports, healthcare and environment, were signed at the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) summit here on Friday.
Briefing media on the outcome of the summit, attended by heads of government and state the member-countries, officials said that other than this there are the general administrative agreements.
"In total 14 decisions have been signed by the Council of the Head of States and we have on the sidelines signed some cooperation agreements between SCO and UN-specialised agencies," they said.
Joint Secretary (SCO) in the External Affairs Ministry, Madhumita Hazarika Bhagat Sarma, highlighted that discussions regarding terrorism, Afghanistan, and economic issues, especially opportunities for economic cooperation, during the summit.
She said India reiterated its long-held stand towards the peace process in Afghanistan, which it believes should be led, owned, and controlled by Kabul.
"The deliberations were divided into two portions - the first was the restricted format which is meant for the members which were followed by the expanded format in which observers joined in," the official said.
"Prime Minister Modi congratulated Putin as the next summit will be held in Russia...He also touched upon the topics of connectivity, especially the north-south corridor, Chabahar port and renewable energy. He also introduced the acronym HEALTH (during the SCO session)," Sarma added.
Expanding on the acronym, Sarma said that the 'H' in HEALTH stands for Healthcare Cooperation, 'E' for Economic Cooperation, 'A' for Alternate Energy, 'L' for Literature and Culture, 'T' for Terrorism free society and 'H' for Humanitarian Cooperation.
"The overall message was that India would like to see very positive content in the SCO process. We are ready to contribute to that and work with the SCO countries. There were also a serious of documents which were signed today," Modi was quoted as saying.
Sarma outlined that the document of the anti-narcotic strategy and the programme of action was amongst one of the documents signed today.
Commenting on the Joint Declaration issued after the summit, Hazarika said, "The declaration is a strong statement against terrorism and is endorsed by all SCO member-states."Answering a question on the agenda of the next summit to be held in Russia, she said that Moscow would be holding 90 events.
"The baton has been passed on to Russia and they have already informed that there will be 90 events and 90 documents to highlight, as President Putin also highlighted in his speech, that they will focus again on areas like cyberterrorism which is very important to them, cooperation in IT and digitisation as well as marking 75 years of second world war celebrations amongst other areas," she said.

Ooma introduces new international calling plans
New international calling plans offer Ooma customers more features, convenience, and cost savings
PALO ALTO, CA - Tuesday, August 3rd, 2010
Ooma, Inc. today announced three new international calling plans that further extend the cost savings and convenience of calling friends and family around the world. With these plans Ooma customers
can now call 70 countries for less than a penny per minute and call other
countries at reduced "bulk discount" rates. With the introduction of these new
plans and the recently announced Ooma Mobile Application, Ooma offers the
most affordable and functional international calling experience.
"Ooma is committed to providing our customers the most affordable, feature rich
and convenient international calling plans," said Jim Gustke, vice president of
Marketing at Ooma. "Forget about the frustrating calling card codes and their
multiple access numbers and hidden fees. Stop watching the clock and worrying
about expensive fee overages often associated with mobile calling plans. With
Ooma's award winning call quality and reliability, staying in touch with friends and
family from around the world in crystal clear audio has never been so easy and
Ooma offers its customers a comprehensive international calling program that
affords multiple ways for consumers to save on international calls:
Ooma International Calling Bundle
Available today, Ooma customers can select from three new plans that best fit
their calling lifestyle. The first plan offers Ooma customers 1,000 free minutes of
talking to friends and family in 70 countries for the low rate of $9.99 per month.
The second plan, which also costs $9.99 per month, offers access to significantly
reduced "bulk discount" rates for use when calling all other international
countries. The third plan, which is available only to Ooma Premier customers,
provides both the 1,000 free minutes to call 70 countries and the access to "bulk
discount" rates for calling other international countries combined for $9.99 per
month. The original Ooma International calling bundle – $4.99 a month for 500 minutes of calling to 70 countries – also remains available for Premier
subscribers. For more information, visit the international calling page.
Ooma Mobile Application
Save mobile minutes and up to 90 percent on international calls compared to
traditional mobile calling plans with the Ooma Mobile App – now available for
iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad – by placing calls over any Wi-Fi connection or 3G
network. For more details, visit the Ooma page in the App Store:
Ooma to Ooma Calling
Placing Ooma to Ooma calls is always free. If you own an Ooma system and
send an Ooma system to friends and family abroad, they can assign a U.S.
phone number to that system and call back to the states for free.

Today was my daughter's annual visit to the Cardiologist. She stood up straight and tall while the nurse measured her height and weight, and sat still while she took her blood pressure and pulse/ox level.
We then went down the hall for an echo sonogram of her heart. She once again was a perfect angel while the technician attached the leads and spread the warm goo all over her chest. "Finding Nemo" was on the TV, but she was more interested in seeing and hearing her heart on the monitor.
Once we got back to the room it was time for an E.K.G. reading and 10 more stickers and leads stuck all over her body! In the past, this test took forever because she was doing so much wiggling and crying they could not get an accurate reading. Not today though! She sat so quiet and still the test was done in seconds! All of the nurses and technicians were commenting on how mature she was acting for a three year old!
The doctor finally came in and said everything looks great! She still has a SLIGHT murmor, but it is not anything he was concerned about at this time. She is basically a "normal" three year old requiring no medication and no activity restriction! We celebrated with a nice lunch and she got to pick out some new books for being so good.
So this week I am thankful that my daughter is a healthy "normal" toddler, and that she was so well behaved at the doctor!

2 Diversified Stocks Income Investors Should Love?
Investors love the steady income that comes from owning a dividend stock. You get to watch your investment appreciate in value over the long-term and collect quarterly cash payments. A well-established and well-disciplined dividend portfolio can be a valuable asset for any investor. Of course, that's easier said than done. Where do you find great companies with sustainable dividends? Well, perhaps you should look to the fertilizer industry.
Leading diversified fertilizer producers PotashCorp and Mosaic pay respectable and steady dividends. There are risks, as with any investment or industry, but the importance of and demand for fertilizers will only increase in coming years. Let's take a quick detour to illustrate that point.
Fertilizer demand is trending in one direction
The world's population is growing, which will create the need for more food production, which will create the need for more fertilizer production. The U.S. Department of Agriculture and Mosaic estimate that the world will need 4% more farmland and 21% better yields to produce enough food by 2030.
In other words, companies such as PotashCorp and Mosaic will be heavily leaned on by the world's agricultural industry in the next 20 years. Can income investors count on these companies, too?
Diversified players
PotashCorp is the world's largest fertilizer producer by capacity for all three nutrients (nitrogen, potassium, and phosphorus), while Mosaic is the world's largest producer for combined potassium and phosphorus capacity. Each company's size may reduce its flexibility to respond to sudden, knee-jerk market developments -- as happened last July -- but size also has its advantages.
The biggest advantage is stability, which is a top priority for income investors. Stability has allowed PotashCorp to increase its dividend by 950% since the fourth quarter of 2010 and to enact a stock repurchase plan that has reduced share count by 3.5% since July 2013.
Stability has allowed Mosaic to return 38% of its capital allocations to shareholders since July 2012, while still focusing on infrastructure improvements, organic growth projects, and strategic acquisitions.
Stability allows PotashCorp to deliver a dividend yield of approximately 3.8% and affords Mosaic the ability to offer shareholders a 2% yield. You like stability.
Which stock can you count on?
The last five years have been rough for shareholders counting on diversified fertilizer stocks for steady income. The industry's momentum came to a grinding halt when an overabundance of production from China and long-term expansion projects flooded the market, which stymied selling prices and wiped away any hopes for short-term growth. Simply put, PotashCorp and Mosaic were counting on a radically different market to ease the pain from massive capital expenditures.
However scary that chart appears, it's misleading for several reasons. The largest being the fact that it's a very short-term glimpse at the remarkable long-term performance turned in by diversified fertilizer stocks. In any short-term period, larger players such as PotashCorp and Mosaic will be penalized for spending significant amounts of money on capital expenditure projects. The benefits from expansion projects only become apparent when considered on longer-term horizons. For example, In the last 10 years, PotashCorp and Mosaic have yielded total returns of 735% and 332%, respectively.
Both companies have completed nearly all their planned major expansion projects, which will be reflected by record operational efficiency in the years ahead. There will be still be headwinds, such as increased exports from China, but lowering production costs will help the companies fight those threats head-on. Given the long-term trends in fertilizer demand and operational efficiencies that will begin to appear in the coming quarters, I think both PotashCorp and Mosaic are great additions for stable and reliable income.
Diversified fertilizers aren't the only dividends out there
You're reading this because you're smart. Income investors are know how valuable a dividend portfolio might be and are always on the prowl for new sources of steady income. I like the long-term prospects of Potash Corp and Mosaic, but your search shouldn't stop there.

About Ty
Mild-mannered British rapper Ty lacks the ragga flow and quick patois of most rappers from the Big Dada label; he's more the big brother, with clever, mature themes that commonly go far beyond the usual shot-callers involved in rap music. Born Ben Chijioke in London to Nigerian immigrants, Ty began recording during the mid-'90s, and appeared on tracks produced by IG Culture's New Sector Movement, MC Mell 'O', DJ Shortee Blitz, and DJ Pogo. He also hosted a hip-hop night called Lyrical Lounge, and worked with the Ghetto Grammar poetry workshop. His Ty debut came on Big Dada in late 2000 with the single "Break the Lock." His first full-length, Awkward, appeared early the following year and earned kudos from dozens of musical sources. His sophomore album, Upwards, dropped on Big Dada in late 2003 and received numerous end-of-year honors. An American release came the following spring. Closer, released in 2006, featured collaborations with heroes De La Soul and Arrested Development's Speech, while 2010's Special Kind of Fool -- his first release for BBE -- involved input from over a dozen guest vocalists. ~ John Bush

Here's the scenario: You have a new feature in your software on its way to market. You are the lead tech author/information designer working on it.
Do you..
a) go into survival mode?
"Must generate help pages before release date"
b) take a strategic approach?
"Remind me why we are doing this" – in a top-down approach starting with a holistic view of the customer, then narrowing to your users and content.
Taking a strategic approach
Starting with customer-centric questions. For the new feature, do you have a sense of:
- What the demand for this feature is in the market
- How your sales channel thinks it is going to drive revenue
- The user stories or user "pain" this is solving
- Anticipated customer service/support issues
- What marketing collateral and social media campaigns are planned around it
- What the impact on training or certification programmes is
These feed into user-centric questions. For new content, which you are authoring or designing, do you have ideas for:
- Who might be able to reuse my content
- At what point in the customer journey is it accessed
- What analytics and user research data do I have to inform my decisions
- What are the relevant costs/benefits of different output types
- Is my content going to be consumed on a mobile device
- What can I do to promote and engage responses to my content
Or do you..
c) combine modes a) and b)?
Shifting from survival to strategic
From recent experience, my impression is that we are shifting away from survival and towards strategic. We are doing it out of necessity – driven by smaller cross-functional teams and shorter release cycles. But I hope we are also doing it by design – the content becomes more relevant, innovative and in synch with the customer's and user's relationship to your organisation and your software.
Did you answer a), b) or c)? Do you have any items to add to the customer- and user-centric question lists?

2004 Notable Document – ALA
2004 Notable Document – American Library Association
The American Library Association designates the CGS publication SP-53, Ground Water Atlas of Colorado as a 2004 Notable Document. Only 5 other states had a document so designated. Here is the citation from Linda B. Johnson, Chair of GODORT (Government Documents Round Table) Notable Documents Panel.
It is with real pleasure that I congratulate your agency on the outstanding publication chosen as a Notable Document in the 2003 annual Library Journal review. As you can see from the enclosed article, very few documents are selected, so this is a true accomplishment.
Those of us who work with government information on a daily basis are well aware of the quality and importance of such publications and web sites, but the article's appearance in Library journal reaches many librarians in a variety of situations who might otherwise never collect or use these.

Just over a week into PES2019 and things are looking good – better than ever, in fact.
Is PES2019 the best PES of the PS4 generation? Ridiculously early to say so, but it feels so. If Konami can find it in themselves not to mess it up, maybe, just maybe.
Visual Fatigue has turned out to be an actual thing, albeit not quite in the way we were expecting. I assumed it would result in dramatic collapses on the pitch and enforced substitutions (which would still be nice to see, by the way). However, it seems to function more as a general background effect that influences gameplay in the latter stages of matches, or in a cumulative fashion after many matches. I like this and want more of it.
Fouls, too, are a thing – only just a thing, for me, but I'll take the few that are coming my way.
The AI constantly attacking down the wings and always seeking to put in low crosses… this is most definitely not a thing for me.
I can appreciate how peculiar, and perhaps annoying, that will sound to those whose matches feature more low crosses than a midget Golgotha, but what can I do. I simply don't see the already-notorious low crosses in my matches.There above is the star of PES2019 so far for me. J RICE, Esq.
He is still very much the scampering workhorse that we've seen over the past few years, and he now comes equipped with the most delicious new skill seen in PES for many a year: the Rising Shot. I haven't liked a PES skill more since Middle Shooting was a thing.
Rice's Rising Shot is a thing of beauty. The Rising Shot in general is a thing of beauty.
He must be on the candidates' list for entry to the Master League Default Hall of Fame by now? Along with the likes of Ruskin and Vornander and Irjescu and Castolo and the rest of them. (Not the likes of Espimas and Ximelez, though. Never saw the point of them two.)
I keep blazing away with Rice from distance – and missing. For now. One day I am going to score the eternal goal that I keep trying to score. I know it.
Here's Rice scoring my best long-range goal so far – a 25-yard 'rising daisycutter':
The tail-end of the first transfer window saw some activity taking place. I spotted this geezer in the Free Agents list, and had to try him out:
Veldwijk was one of my heroes of PES2018, maybe the only hero. Proper Master League heroes haven't come along very often in recent years, so it's best to treasure them.
I can't think of a single instance, though, where they transfer from one edition of the game to the next.
And after 10 matches and no goals, it seem that the Curse Of The Previous PES Hero has struck again. I have decided not to persevere with Veldwijk. Time for new heroes. I placed him on the transfer list – and took the first offer that came in.
I picked up a fee of £3.6m for this Free Agent signing, which means I'm £3.6m in profit.
Back to my current favourite subject, J RICE.
I've tweaked my 4-2-2-2 formation to accommodate Rice. Here it is mid-game:
This formation is now a 4-1-1-2-2. Really it's a 4-1-3-2, but I like the novelty of saying there's a 1-1 buffer between defence and midfield, so that's how I think of it.
This is the formation that Rice flourishes in. He has to play as a CMF in the upper half of the centre circle as we look at it.
He's wasted as DMF. Too deep for too much of the time to affect the attack.
Playing as CMF in either of the two wide positions, while possible, isn't optimal either. Rice needs to be involved. He needs to have easy access to the full length and width of the pitch. That's his game.
nuPES tradition dictates that after a few more gushing posts like this one, and maybe one more goal, I'll almost never mention him again. Until Season 4 or so, when I'll finally sell him, and muse 'whatever happened to Rice?' We'll see.
Three talking points now, with three 20-second clips to illustrate them.
First, I do have a wonky AI issue. I might not be seeing Low Crosses, but I am seeing another worrying thing that has got attention in the general PESverse chatter about PES2019.
It's when the AI works a good position in front of goal, but elects to pass to another player instead. Could this be part of the same underlying code that produces the Low Cross phenomenon?
The AI player who finally receives the ball is pretty much in on goal – he can either take a shot there and then, or take a decent touch and then have a shot. We've seen the AI do either one of those things a thousand times or more. But the AI player chooses to square the ball instead, and they lose the ball. I see this roughly once or twice per average session. Not often enough to be game-breaking by any means, but often enough to be immersion-diluting.
Next, the great side of PES2019 – the modelling of real physics and real player capabilities:
What happens there is that I try to take a quick shot with Rice from silly distance, encouraged by his wonderful Rising Shot mechanic (one day, I am going to get a Bobby Charlton howitzer with Rice, I just know it). But here his body shape is all wrong, the ball is under him, and he fluffs it, the ball trickling embarrassingly wide along the ground. #itwouldhaveworkedinPES2018
Finally, an example of how Visual Fatigue actually works. Here my Redmond is almost out on his feet, with just a nubbin of stamina left, and he misplays a simple through-ball into touch. Keep watching for the header chance that resulted from the same passage of play.
Visual Fatigue in action there, followed a few moments later by a cross to the Default new boy, MIHAILOV. I loved the way he peeled off the last defender for the nod into the net. I've found Mihailov a better player than his partner, not-Coutinho, whatever he's called now. Goios. Him.
In the celebration cutscene I noticed a certain reselblance between Mihailov and an American character actor by the name of Richard Kind, whom I know as Cousin Andy from Curb Your Enthusiasm. Look at this side-by-side comparison here:
Look at the nose. Just look.

Business School plans get green light
Wolverhampton City Council approved plans for the £18m project to build a new flagship building at the junction of Molineux Street and Camp Street at the City Molineux campus.
The six storey building will be a combination of teaching and social learning space and aims to reflect the University of Wolverhampton Business School's growing reputation and engagement with the business community in the region.
Included in the proposed new building will be tutorial, workshop and seminar rooms, an IT suite, meeting rooms, learning zones and a central social space and café.
Dr Anthea Gregory, Dean of the Faculty of Social Sciences which incorporates the University of Wolverhampton Business School, said: "The news that we have received planning permission is very welcome and we now look forward to construction getting underway early next year.
"I think it's very positive for the University of Wolverhampton and also the wider business community, the city and the local economy.
"The new business school will demonstrate our commitment to providing education, training and jobs to help economic regeneration."
The new build scheme is being led by project managers Gardiner & Theobald and has been designed by Manchester-based architectural practice, Sheppard Robson.
Rod McAllister, Partner and Design Director: "Sheppard Robson is honoured to have been asked to design this prestigious new business school. Our design team has worked with the university to develop an exciting response to its unique site that reflects the integration of high academic ambition with the business world."
Now that planning consent has been awarded, work on site is due to start in early 2014 with a delivery date of May 2015.
