Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: License to use Pro*C
Well, I'm no legal guru, but Pro*C is sold as a development tool, not part and parcel of the rdbms. You can very easily run the rdbms without Pro*C. You can even develop applications without Pro*C using the OCI interface that I do believe is part and parcel of the standard rdbms package. Therefore for licensing requirements for Pro*C don't go looking under the RDBMS, but development tools. I know they include Pro*C with the rdbms cd's, but so don't they include partioning, context, etc.... It does not mean your free & clear to use it. And as always, if in doubt ask your sales droid, cautiously.

Sorry Dick, I don't get it.
Sami asked:
Does anyone aware of the licensing terms for Pro*C in 9i EE.
9i EE, that is the RDBMS, isn't it? So I started looking under RDBMS.
The link I found contains the text:
Components that require a separate license are identified in their descriptions in this appendix.
So, in this appendix the partitioning option shows:
A feature that provides more control in managing tables and indexes by directing all maintenance operations to individual partitions rather than to tables and index names.
This component requires a separate license.
And Pro*C reads:
The Pro*C/C++ precompiler takes SQL statements embedded in your C and C++ programs and converts them to standard C code. When you precompile this code, the result is a C or C++ program that you compile and use to build applications that access an Oracle9i database.
No words about a separate license here. So, when you got EE licensed,I think Pro*C is included in that license. I can imagine though that Pro*C, just for use with the Oracle client and without having your own Oracle RDBMS license, requires separate licensing, altough Oracle doesn't charge for the Oracle client software separately, IIRC.
The last thing I would do is to mislead the members of this list. I tried a search on tahiti.oracle.com with 'development tools license', as you suggested, but got no hits. Can you point where you found that Pro*C needs separate licensing?

Wow, we had such great participation last week! Thanks to all who were able to join us. Your cards were beautiful! Now, it's time for another challenge. This week the challenge is Sparkle & Shine. What kind of "sparkle and shine" is totally up to you. We just want to see what you can do with your bling. Keep in mind that our challenges each week are optional. Any Christmas card is perfect for any of our challenges. The idea is to help get your Christmas cards done ahead of time.
Please help me in welcoming our guest designer this week, Marjorie Eno. Here is a bit about her, in her own words:
Hi! My name is Marjorie and I'm a mother to two darling little princesses and wife to my own prince charming. I'm so excited to be a guest designer for Sparkle's Christmas Card Challenge! I've always loved being creative even when I was in grade school. I drew, sketched, and colored between homework and music practice. As I got closer to high school, music took over and I left art behind. Then, seven years ago a friend got me into scrapbooking when I was pregnant with my first little girl and I've been addicted to papercrafting ever since! After getting into card making and then stamping, I started a blog and have met so many great gals and learned more than I thought possible in just a couple years. I started playing here and there in Sparkle's Christmas challenges from the very beginning, and I love seeing the challenge and snatching inspiration when a Christmasy mood strikes. It's such a delight to get to guest design for the Sparkle & Bling Challenge this week. I hope you enjoy my card!
And here is her beautiful card.
And here are the rest of the design team's cards.
Sure hope you find time to play along this week! Christmas is almost here!
Please link directly to the blog post or gallery page where we can view/comment on your creation and not just the generic link to your blog. Generic blog links will be disabled or deleted. To get the full url, click the title of your blog post (which will load a page that has just that post on it), then copy and paste the URL. Don't forget to post a comment so we know you added a card!

Justin Bieber Mocks Orlando Bloom With Instagram Photosby Mandi Salerno | PopCrush
Justin Bieber vs. Orlando Bloom was the scuffle heard (and seen) around the world. The commotion between the two early Wednesday (July 30) in a restaurant in Ibiza, Spain, caused a stir in person and on the Internet, and it seems Justin isn't quite ready to let it die down.
Shortly after the incident hit the web via a shocking video, the Biebs posted a photo of Miranda Kerr to his Instagram. It should be noted that rumors circulating the fight claim that the singer and actor began their verbal sparring because of an incident from way back in 2012, when Justin was caught getting close with Miranda, Orlando's wife at the time, after a Victoria's Secret fashion show. It probably didn't help that earlier this year Orlando was spotted with Justin's on-off girlfriend Selena Gomez.
It's safe to assume that Justin wasn't simply posting a photo of Miranda for the sake of sharing a snapshot of a pretty girl. (See the pic he posted then deleted here.) And there's definitely no doubt that his latest Instagram upload is meant to instigate the already tense situation. After all, what else could he possibly be trying to get across with a photo of Orlando looking like he's crying?
Beliebers, what do you think of Justin's taunts?

i want those shoes!
Love it!
Truly effortless chic.
The shoes are amazing!
100 per cent love this outfit. its amazing
So class !!
Spring is here!
Can anyone ID them?
Loving the simplicity! No Frills and extravagance! a breath of fresh air!
so beautiful!!
Love the richness of the jacket
Very chic woman, but those shoes are horrible.
Whenever my British friends come to Paris they are on the lookout for the Picasso/Gaultier sailor stripes. I always advise them to go to Saint-James (a French manufacturer, despite the name). I seldom go to Paris but I noticed recently you actually see more of those 'iconic-French' stripes in London than in Paris! Apparently, the Petit-Bateau influence!
A trend you spotted very well!
Nice stripes and nice shoes... Like it!
love her shoes
This is a bit alexa, but if she was older and didnt get her chocha out as much. Really simple and elegant, I like it!
Nice scarf.
It's all very "Alexa Chung"
Finding this skirt length always rather difficult to wear (can easily look too 'auntie')- unless you are tall and slim like she is. The combination of blue and grey plus stripes gives it an elegant, but relaxed feeling.
me encantan lo9s zapatos
I really love London & the people!
the shoes make the outfit. I find the sshawl somehow a bit fussy. It does however beautifully frame her exquisite face.
love the shoes!
yeah, right. looks like chung.
I feel as though the proportions are a little off - the length of jacket plus length of shirt plus higher ankle booties sort of make it seem as though she has disproportionately small legs. I really love the colors though!
i really want to steal her shoes! i love her overall look, too, she's so feminine, and french chic!
fashion atelier.
I am a little bit heartbroken that you came to London and didn't see me and put me in your wonderful blog!!
I'm only half joking!
..One day.
I love the combination of the knee length skirt and ankle boots here, and the semi-translucence of the skirt, it really works.
I love the blue jacket. It's the sort of thing a Corsican farm labourer might wear. I do not mean that in a bad way!
I want her boots!!
Great pic and love the look!
Nice pic of a women in dailydress. And the boots are fantastic - I bought them for myself in sep. in London - they are from Prada F/W 09.
So eccentric.
The stripes look perfect with that scarf.
I would say she is an artist.
Great picture.
i love this shoes,
shoes should be Prada or Car shoe, winter collection
Gourgeous look! I like the shoes.
Shoes looks very Marc Jacobs. Not sure though. Either way, I love the color pallet.
love her navy coat!! and the lovely scarf, gorgeous!
the shoes are prada. i have the same in black.
Love the scarf.
this is konca aykan, the recently launched vogue turkey's fashion editor. a very cute turkish voguette.
i always love a sailor stripe shirt, but i think i love those shoes even more!!
love this look, particularly the length of the skirt!
They sell shoes that look exactly the same at Zara.
It seems everybody is wearing those stripes this season (including me), but this elegant young lady takes them to a whole different level with the printed scarf and the unusually bright color of her pea coat.
The top layers, especially the scarf swimming about her face, are really stunning--the way her gaze is so horizontal and the shirt's stripes peek out of her pocket. And the proportion works, but for me the weights and textures of the lower half spoil it. The clingy skirt and heavy opaque tights make the shoes look like cement blocks to me; their potential grace looks clunky instead.
Love! I have shoes almost identical from Zara.
greats boots!
I just love the depth of the blue in her jacket...very nice look.
Nice outfit and style. Congrat'
Love the mix here. Great use of tonal blues, incredible shoes, and the scarf is to die for. This striped top isn't worked into "her look" as well as the young lady from NYC used hers in a shot from last Tuesday, but all the same I like the mix. The coat is a gorgeous shade of blue, very beautiful.
oh my word! it's a young lauren bacall.
I love everything about this outfit, the scarf, the jacket, the shoes are my favorites.
Boot is prada, look is spot on.
Love the Breton stripes!
And the motion of this photo. Lovely work.
I love the shoes!! I've been looking for a similar ones, but I can't find them!
This look is actually something of a British staple these days among younger women (compare it with some other recent shots you've put up).
For those in search of Picasso jersey sweaters (pace Davidikus said) check out J. Press the menswear store in NYC....they have a nice line on offer.
love the brick color in the background... not my fav outfit though :(
i love the shoes and the scarf! have a great weekend!
Glad to see skirts this length popping up -- the lightness of the fabric makes the length work. Very pretty.
I would say the outfit is perfect except that she has great legs and should wear a shorter skrt! Love the scarf and shoes. Wonderful!
Gotta love that scarf. I always have the intention of wearing a scarf, but never know how to go about it. I must say this is an inspiration.
She looks better than Chung. Proportion and palette play at its best.
Does anyone know the style name of these prada boots?? I'm dying to find them!
can anyone share the style name of the prada booties she's wearing?? Dying to find them...
Love it! New/Old London!
I have a couple of posts on my blog right now that you might like, Scott:)
Great look! I love how the scarf ties together the color of the coat and the gray in the shoes. She walks with determination and you captured that. xo
Pucci Studded Heels at www.FashionSnag.com
I love what she's done with the scarf. Whenever I wear one I usually wear it the same way all the time...I'll have to try it this way.
Lovin' the shoes!
Happy Friday.
~*~If you want to take a stroll down the Southern Ca. coast I posted some pics.
(Lisa Petrarca Blog).
love everything except the shoes... i feel they upstage the rest of the palette/shape. maybe the same shoes with a darker sole...
Are those rubber soles? So excellent.
Absolutely wonderful. Maravillosaaaa!!!!
Swoonworthy shoes, those. I like the lighter sole -- that is what makes them *almost* off, which is what makes it perfect.
I love this look, but I don't actually think she's wearing a skirt - they look like bloomer trousers to me....
I've been looking for that jacket. Does anyone know that label? (You can see the logo.) Let me know, please!: flowscapes at gmail
You can get the French sailor shirts from Hamilton Marine, among others. They run large. You might have to alter.
I want those shoes in a terrible way.
do you know that almost every teenager in Poland looks like this lady?!
I absolutley love, love this outfit. I want it.
I agree with Anonymous 11:58 AM. I like the shoes as an independent entity, but think they mar the whole outfit. I can't get beyond the off-whiteness of the crepe soles looking "dirty" in comparison to the white striped sailor shirt. Grey suede is still a great choice if the soles were dark (which wouldn't work with the concept of these booties, which are an interpretation of the "desert boot") -- then the look would be awesome, allowing the white of the sailor shirt to pop as the lightest shade.
incidentally, just picked up a breton stripe top for $15 at uniqlo. quality material - as they often do - and accessible in most major cities.
Nice shoes!
Best regards from Argentine
She looks great. I love the colors of her coat and scarf. Are her tights black? I'm always too wimpy to wear black and navy though I know it's not a faux pas....
Love the match-not-matchiness of this whole look. You and Garance have single-handedly (dual handedly?) forced me to update my wardrobe with stripes...and khaki. :)
I covet the shoes as well. I'd be very interested in seeing them with a darker sole, but the crepe sole gives them a stronger early
70's vibe.
She reminds me of art school. My best friend at RISD dressed just like this.
The shoes are divine.
The blue on blue is beautiful.
The gray suede booties are amazing, and the scarf is a nice complement to the outfit!
Love the details on the scarf!
Great color of the jacket!!
those are prada shoes... ım so happy ı own one of the same pair:) loved her style
The shoes are PRADA SPORT from FW09
(last season, but still very on-trend)
Aren't they pants? Love this.
Love the blue jacket.
The shoes - I know everyone has already said it a hundred times over, but they're amazing.
Those shoes are Godly.
Fabulous! Last time I was in Florence in summer this was taught to me by a local. I love it!
I think the shoes are from ZARA
been eyeing it for a while
looove it
love the shoes!! they look like shoes from the alexas new line with madewell
The scarf and the jacket!Wow
Middleseason is coming, at least!
gotta be the shoes
Greatly done casual!
they look like the see by chloe shoes..
haha no way, she is my cousin! :)
Love it!
konca is vogue turkey's fashion editor. so proud to see her cool here:)

Those looking to relieve the pain of temporomandibular joint disorder, commonly known as TMJD, soon might have a new tool at their disposal. Officials of Rockford-based Ascentia Health Inc. hope they are just weeks away from receiving U.S. Food and Drug Administration approval to begin marketing their Clayton Intra-Aural Device, or CID, an in-ear support that its inventor, audiologist Larry Clayton, hopes will create a major shift in how locking and malfunction of the jaw joint and its surrounding muscles is treated.
Those looking to relieve the pain of temporomandibular joint disorder, commonly known as TMJD, soon might have a new tool at their disposal.
Officials of Rockford-based Ascentia Health Inc. hope they are just weeks away from receiving U.S. Food and Drug Administration approval to begin marketing their Clayton Intra-Aural Device, or CID, an in-ear support that its inventor, audiologist Larry Clayton, hopes will create a major shift in how locking and malfunction of the jaw joint and its surrounding muscles is treated.
The current standard of treatment is a dental stabilization splint, an acrylic mold of a patient's upper teeth also called a bite splint which prevents involuntary grinding together of the upper and lower teeth. TMJ also might be caused by dislocation of soft tissues or arthritis in the joint and stress which can cause the patient to tighten facial and jaw muscles or to clench their teeth.
Dentists fit about 4 million stabilization splints annually in the U.S. and they typically are worn only while the patient is asleep.
"The primary venue to treat TMJD now is dentistry," Clayton said, "and bite splints do work. If we receive approval, we will be the only other medical device to treat TMJD.
"To this point, other doctors might diagnose TMJD, but they refer the patient to a dentist and wouldn't treat it because the splint is in the mouth. With this treatment in a different part of the anatomy, there is a whole new opportunity for medical professionals to offer treatment."
To apply for FDA approval, Ascentia was required to prove in clinical trials that its device — a small, hollow insert of medical grade polymers that is custom fitted to each patient's ear canal — could produce results comparable to those achievable with a bite splint.
Clayton, Ascentia's chairman, and Bill Coole, president and CEO of the company, said those results were shown in a four-month trial conducted in 2000 at the University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine and in a three-pronged clinical trial from April 2008 to this January by the Mexican Institute of Clinical Research in Mexico City.
Based on the results of the Mexico City trial, Ascentia filed a 510K application with the FDA on June 24. Approval of the application will allow Ascentia, which Clayton said has spent $750,000 since 1998 to get to this point, to go into business. The CID is Ascentia's first product and Coole said most of the company's investors are Rockford-area residents.
The FDA, by its own rules, had 90 days to respond to the application and Clayton said the company received an inquiry from the FDA this week which delays approval.
In the University of Pennsylvania study, which involved eight patients, the CID's mean improvement of TMJD symptoms on four different pain measurement scales was 55 percent.
The most improvement was 65 percent on the craniomandibular index, a clinician-reported measurement of palpitation of facial muscle and dysfunction and the one the FDA would require for trial validation.
Doctors who participated in the University of Pennsylvania study presented a paper in 2004 in which they said "the CID led to an overall reduction in pain and dysfunction of the temporomandibular joint" and that "the CID is a safe, effective modality for the treatment of TMJ."
"This is a great statement," Clayton said, "but the FDA was not going to give us clearance on a study of eight subjects. We actually had to compare it to something, and that something was the bite splint or stabilization splint."
It took nearly eight years, he said, to raise the $600,000 needed for the comparative trial in Mexico City in which 60 patients used the CID, 60 used a stabilization splint and 30 used jaw exercises 10 times daily and facial muscle massage. The cost included paying to have the Mexico City orthodontist who oversaw the trial trained in applying the craniomandibular index.
If the company receives FDA approval, Clayton said, it would have to raise more money to finance a business plan. He said the company had considered manufacturing the devices locally but would probably outsource manufacturing in the early stages of business.
Coole said a company in Pennsylvania that made the devices used in the clinical trials and a second company in Colorado have expressed interest in manufacturing the devices if the company decides to keep the rights and outsource production.
Clayton said he hopes dentists would be interested in the device as an alternative to the stabilization splint and thinks otolaryngologists (ear, nose and throat specialists) might be interested in the treatment.
"We see our device as effective," he said. "We know it's comparable to the bite splint and it's noninvasive.
"You can take it out if, for whatever reason, you don't want to wear it, but on average in the study the subjects were wearing this 20 hours a day. They were wearing the bite splint about seven and a half hours a day, essentially sleeping time, so this can be a 24-hour treatment potential if the patient wishes. It has minimal interference and, aesthetically, it's not visible so we think it has clear advantage for patient application and treatment of TMJ."

Valentine Inspirations…and My Tee Shirt Scarf
I love when I find something online I just HAVE to HAVE. It doesn't often happen, but when it does…oh man. I'm gung-ho and ready to go.
Take for example this Tee Shirt Scarf I found the tutorial for over on Amanda's Site. Number One, I LOVE scarves. I can't get enough of them, and you'll find me wearing them about 11 months out of the year. Totally transforms a simple jean jacket into a new outfit every day, which make them great for traveling. Throw a few in your carry on, and voila – you have little to carry and lots of changeability.
Number Two, I can't sew. I love crafty things, but I have no sewing abilities. My mom can sew…and typically, I'll put her on the plethora of clothing/craft ideas that pop into my head. Not fair to her, of course, but I do have a love of aprons and she's a whiz at making them. This Tee Shirt Scarf? No Sewing. That I can handle.
Number Three – We are over run with tee shirts in this house. Over. Run. Jon looks like a walking advertisement for Virginia Tech he has so many Hokie Tee Shirts. And he NEVER wants to part with them. But give the shirts a new life? He budged. He donated lots of his tees to my scarf making project. Free Scarf? Yes, please! And believe it or not, he was a great supporter of my crafting!
Now, you can find the full on play by play for how to make this scarf, as well as a LOT of other creative ideas, at Amanda's. But let me tell you, it's beyond easy. For the quick and dirty version, here you go…
Tee Shirt Scarf
1 – Find a few old tees you don't mind cutting up. Be SURE they are regular tees, not the girly stretch tees as those will NOT work. (Don't ask me how I know this.) Regular old tee shirts are what you need. For the two I made, I chose Grey, Khaki and White, and for the other Dark Pink, White and Grey. (The dark pink looks red, though.)
2- Cut the bottom hem off of the shirt, just above where it's sewn. Keep it, because it has a purpose.
3- Start cutting strips about an inch of so wide from the shirt. Cut through the whole shirt. Don't split it, make loops. All around the body of the shirt, all the way up to the arm holes. From a man's shirt, I got about 12-14 loops, from the women's, about 10. All told, you need about 32 loops.
4 – Once all of your loops are made, pick each one up and give it a good stretch. This causes the loop to twist on itself. If your Tee has writing on it, just turn the shirt inside out before cutting it, and you'll never see the writing, as it will disappear once the shirt has been stretched.
5 – Take your stretched loops and twist each one around your hand, making a tight little bundle/circle. Like this picture…
6 – Now you have all of your parts, so pull out those hems you cut off earlier and snip them into pieces about 4 to 5 inches long. use these to tie each loop to the next. Repeat until you've tied them all together.
Wear it! Enjoy it!
Now, perhaps you are even lazier than I am, and you just want some pretty Valentine things. No problem – crafts aren't for everyone. That's why there is Etsy! Look at the goodies I found there…
Scarves to buy that you don't have to make…
Flannel with Vintage Buttons, by Mimi's Whimsy
Another Tee Shirt Scarf, just a little different design, from Megan's Menagerie
Crocheted Garnet Scarf from Ayca
Red Marshmallow Scarf, from EasyBaby
Do YOU know of a craft project I could get into? Remember, no sewing, cute, girly…or just about anything I can do with my three year old would be great! Seen a Valentine's Craft I need to know about? Fill me in!
Have a great day everyone!

In the Wake of a Bad Merger
When I last talked about my guild in the beginning of November, I mentioned that we had gone through a split, had moved to a more populated server, and were looking at merging with another 10-man guild to get back up to 25s.
That merger turned out to be the worst mistake in the history of our guild.
There is a type of person who believes that all failure is caused by people playing badly. That skill is everything in this game. That the only response to any problem, any difficulty, is to tell people to play better, or recruit better people to replace the failures. That you must always take the "best" raiders you have to a raid to ensure success.
There is a degree of truth in this. But in my view, there usually there are a lot more elements that you can look at before you conclude that the problem is solely due to bad play. Sometimes the strategy is not quite right. Sometimes people misunderstand the plan. Sometimes people just make mistakes. Sometimes you just need practice, to wipe a few nights before everything clicks. Sometimes you just have to go with the army you have, rather than the army you wish you had.
In any case, the merging guild was entirely made up of people who held the first view. They were all very good players, at least pure skill-wise. But their response to any wipe, any failure, was to yell at people, to point fingers and berate them. Sometimes the yelling would start before the attempt even finished, while we still attacking the boss.
It was the worst raiding experience of my life.
And of course we started hemorraging members. In two weeks we went from 35 raiders online to barely 25. We lost some essential people from our old guild before the merger.
The final blow came last week. We only had 23 raiders on, so it was decided to take the 10 "best" people and down some Heroic bosses for progression. Apparently that team had trouble and drama blew up, with lots of yelling and finger-pointing, and the upshot was that the entire group of merged people left the guild.
So we're back down to maybe a 10-man worth of people, minus those people who left earlier. I'm not really certain what will happen. A lot of the people who remain sound rather "shell-shocked", with their confidence in their ability to tackle Heroics broken.

I was once consulting with someone that was thinking of merging his businesses with another. The CEOs were like minded. They had a similar culture... AND...they had similar problems.
My question to him was, if you are so alike, what makes you think your problems won't be the same...only larger?
He got back with me a month later about how the merger fell through.
Mergers (WoW & IRL) can work, but honestly that may not be the best option at any given moment. At times, we need to let something die so that something else can grow in it's place.
I hope that your guild gets better w/ the other folks gone. I also hope that you're having a blast in SWTOR!
All the Best,
Just remember, the people in the first group do not have long lives. I mean seriously, those kind of people die pretty young due to their stupidity for believing in such lies.ReplyDelete
Skills only matter? LOL, any real adult knows that is not true.
Ah, guild drama, one of the reasons so many people end up choosing to solo in MMOs. Guild drama at least partially contributed to my exit from Dark Age of Camp-a-lot, The Exciting Game Of Riding Horses And Pointing Fingers!(TM).ReplyDelete
As a result, my forays into EQ2 and AoC involved guilds composed primarily of RL friends and alts. In Rift I was lucky enough to stumble into a really fun, laid-back guild.
We made the mistake (seen now with 20/20 hindsight) of recruiting a great guy from another server. He brought friends, who were also good people. But one of the sad facts of life is that even good people don't always get along. They have differing values and viewpoints that often lead to subtle conflict.
One of them was a great, helpful guy who was, unfortunately, really into PvP. He became frustrated that no one else in the guild was really interested. He became frustrated because of perceived imbalances in classes, server populations, and skill levels. He became vocal about it. He finally went back to his original server.
Like the tiny crack that can prove the fatal flaw in a mighty dam, all the people who had transferred from the other server started coming up with excuses as to why they were unhappy. We weren't raiding enough. We didn't PvP enough. The server population was too low. The Auction House on this server sucked. Even when we addressed some of the issues, they came up with other issues. Then, after dragging guild morale down with their constant complaining, they all moved back.
Of course, by then, natural attrition plus low morale had caused other members of the guild to stop logging in. And the worst part is, I can't even say that anyone was really "wrong" or "bad." There's really no one to blame.
So yeah, I have a good idea where you're coming from. Rift just isn't as much fun to play now; and it's not just due to boredom or burnout, but also due to the guild drama.
Sorry this happened to you.ReplyDelete
It seems the longer a guild exists, the more likely it will eventually disintegrate. At one point my guild was a constant second or third on our server as far as progress. We've been through the near collapse, re-recruitment, failed merger and some people who didn't work out phase. We're now down to a ten man group that likes to play together and is lucky when we stay in the top ten. Although our current group has about 6 members that have been playing together for years, others have come and gone. With each of those new personalities our group dynamic has changed some. Just last week, we had a loot argument (A HUGE NO NO for us and something that has NEVER happened before). After it was resolved we talked about a guild being like a family and how one might tend to fight guildies the one often does with siblings.
Hopefully, the ten man team you have left can find a way to get along and have fun together. If you can make it fun and the people have half a brain (meaning they learn from their mistakes) then you can still progress in WoW.
Good luck.
I am sorry to hear about your experience. I've seen both the good and bad side of mergers... in the end it is all about the people and what your goal is. You have obviously figured out that skill<>success without the right attitude. I have seen the whole yell thing work on a small scale, but it does not last forever, eventually people want to be treated like adults.ReplyDelete
I think 10 mans are a better environment if you want to have fun... pushing progression just has never sounded all that appealing to me because of the pressure it puts on people.

We should go get coffee and talk. Even if it's virtual coffee (/pour a cup). I 100% understand and feel everything you shared above and is something that has been weighing heavily on me as of late.
I hope you land on your feet, wherever it is you land.
I am already going to be cancelling my SW:TOR account. I enjoyed it, but once I hit level cap it died down for me. Nobody doing level 50 flashpoints. PVP and Illum is too laggy to be viable for me.ReplyDelete
Unfortunately, all of my friends are playing it.
Hi Rohan-ReplyDelete
Stumbled on your post through a RT. I have always been against mergers because it seems like nothing positive really comes out of it. Yes, people might gain more bodies to raid 25's, but is it *really* worth the heartache that you've just described?
Things like this make me really timid when it comes to mergers. I am sorry you went through that- here's to hoping for the best for you and your team!
Sorry to hear of your guild's misfortunes, brother. These things trouble us in our days both online and offline. It is personal. Like the disappointment of a bad relationship gone bad and broken apart.
Good news: there ARE other fish in the sea and your guild WILL add more of them to your roster. You know this. Your guildies might not feel that way today, but they know they were successful long before you ever merged and will be successful again without the 'mergees'.
When we got smaller than a 10m, we started up a raid group on the server without requiring people to change guild tags. Not a pug. Recurring weekly raid with roster just as if in guild. Same discerning reviews before adding someone. It has helped us meet and recruit more people. And we're having fun raids again!
One thing we all know: it'll work out.
Chin up, brother. Swing the Light!
My guild went though a pretty ugly merger back in late wrath, and in its aftermath, we wound up dropping down to 10 man raiding rather than risk another. It was a dark time for us, and I sympathize with you for going through it now, especially with a guild that you've been working with for such a long time. I hope you find something that can keep your spirits up, whatever that may be.ReplyDelete
Oof, I know what it's like when one's guild is going through a bad patch. It sucks. :(ReplyDelete
For what it's worth, in my experience there was no hole that I could not dig the guild out of as long as I was willing to put in the effort. Things will get better, more people will show up, and six weeks from now I bet you'll all be in a much better place.
Apparently the merging players didn't realize that teamwork is also a skill, one which they are sorely lacking.ReplyDelete
It always saddens me to hear of people getting yelled at over a video game.
There is a degree of truth in this. But in my view, there usually there are a lot more elements that you can look at before you conclude that the problem is solely due to bad play. Sometimes the strategy is not quite right. Sometimes people misunderstand the plan. Sometimes people just make mistakes. Sometimes you just need practice, to wipe a few nights before everything clicks. Sometimes you just have to go with the army you have, rather than the army you wish you had.ReplyDelete
Now, I'm not saying I disagree with the point you are making as a whole, because you're right. But I would point out that the only example in this list that ISN'T attributed to player skill of one kind or another is the last one. Developing a plan and presenting it to the fellow raiders is itself a pretty key skill for a raid leader, and being able to learn from deliberate practice is also a good skill for anyone to have.
That said, I'm sorry to see that things blew up on you. My own guild basically crumbled silently when TOR came out, even though the majority of the players actually WASN'T switching (or, at least, planning to play both). It made me pretty sad to keep logging in for the regular 10s timings to find out that NO ONE was online at all.
Usually the reason why things like this fall through is because people aren't on the same page. I've seen guilds that are purely focused on skill and execution succeed, and I've seen guilds that are purely focused on maintaining positive interpersonal relationships succeed. It sounds like the reason your merger didn't succeed was because you had two groups of people with disparate ideas about priorities try to play together. That doesn't mean the people that stayed are failures and it doesn't mean the people that left are jerks. It just means your priorities weren't the same, and it took a live raid to figure that out. If your guild still wants to move forward, it just means you'll have to find people that feel the same way you do. Those people are out there, it will just take time to find them. In the meantime, all you can do is work with what you have to try to keep up some momentum. Maybe that means doing 10s, maybe that means pugging spots to fill 25s. Either way, I wish you luck and I hope you find what you need to get back to having fun in-game.ReplyDelete

sweet and icy, and a little bit tangy
Unlike last summer, this summer has proved to have been a relatively mild one. Much like last summer, though, I have turned into a fierce ice cream maker (and eater, obviously), churning up a whole lot of ice cream and sorbet like a machine.
While I was keenly making sorbets last year, this year I have been all about fruit-based, honey-sweetened ice creams and sorbets. I started with melon, and used it as a 'basic' recipe, and tested and re-tested over and over again. Meanwhile, I also experimented with other fruits, too, including pineapple, kiwifruit, watermelon, orange, and peach. Although most of them made decent ice creams, some were a bit of disappointments, and the biggest one of all was, to my surprise, peach.
I love peaches, white or yellow, cooked or uncooked, simply sliced or in the form of dessert - especially Japanese ones. I love peach ice cream (this one in particular), too, but mine didn't turn out nowhere as good - at least in the way I had made that worked with many other fruits. It's not that it tasted bad, but it just lacked flavor desperately; the flavor of peach didn't come through, nor was there the flavor of anything else, really. It could have had more to do with the somewhat poor quality of the white peaches I had used to begin with, but I felt that it needed something to add a kick to it, be it a spice or a herb, or maybe some other fruits, even.
I could have re-tried it, adjusting the amount of ingredients and/or adding something else. Or gone looking for something completely different. But what I wondered as I first tasted it was this: wouldn't it work if I simply replaced the cream with yogurt? Because Japanese peaches tend to be really sweet and juicy with a hint of bitterness, but hardly any tartness. And that's where the tang of yogurt would fit in, I guessed.
So I went ahead and gave peach-yogurt ice cream a try, though it was now more of peach frozen yogurt. I used thickened yogurt which is plain/natural yogurt that has been drained overnight in a paper towel-lined strainer, to give my frozen dessert a concentrated flavor of yogurt. The rest was mostly the same with the fruit-based ice cream; puree the flesh of fruit, add honey and spirit/liquor, and freeze, process in the blender, freeze again, and so on. Simple enough.
Then came the taste-testing...
Verdict: pretty good. A simple swap between heavy cream and yogurt worked wonders and created a silkily smooth, soothingly icy treat that was satisfyingly peachy and pleasantly tangy.
Inspired, I tried it again with a flavor add-on: mint. It was something I had been doing with other fruit ice cream, and the idea originally came from the mint ice cream I'd made a couple of summers ago. I blanched a heap of fresh mint leaves in boiling water (and the cooking water made mint tea as I mentioned briefly in my last post), and pureed them along with the peaches. Although the resulting frozen yogurt tasted good and minty fresh, the color of the mixture was rather horrifying; I'd hoped that the green of mint would mask any pinky shade that peach had so the whole thing would be simply pale green, but it instead tuned purplish - a mixture of green and pink, you know. The addition of yogurt did subdue it a bit, but I still didn't dare to take a picture....
Now something slightly more photogenic(ish):
Swirled into the yellow peach-based yogurt base was some blueberries that had been stewed briefly with a bit of honey and juice of lemon, added at the very end, right before the final round of freezing, making blueberry-swirl peach frozen yogurt. I would have liked to make it with white peach and raspberry, but I was out of frozen raspberries (and there was no way I could use fresh ones here, for fresh raspberries are usually outrageously expensive around here), so I went for blueberries, which are increasingly available at reasonable prices. I also used yellow peaches for this one, for that was what was on sale at the time I shopped. I must admit that the blueberry part had a slightly funny taste, possibly due to the particular honey that I had paired with it, but not sure. I'd love to give it another try when blueberries come in plentiful again - just in ten months or so. Sigh.
In the meantime, I wanted to try the frozen yogurt with some other fruits, too, and I'd wonder what would work well, as I walked down the produce aisle at a local supermarket one late August day. Maybe bananas, or pineapples, perhaps? I was sure berries of any kind would work, but nothing was available at a price that would justify a purchase. Then my eyes fell upon figs, which had started to become cheaper and better. I wouldn't normally associate figs with peaches, but when I thought about the flavor factor (i.e. a general lack of kick, especially tartness), they seemed similar and it seemed to make sense to try the frozen yogurt with figs.
I was going to do it with figs only, but at the store they happened to sit right next to white nectarines, and I grabbed a pack of them without hesitation. Back home and standing in the kitchen, I thought, well, why not using both figs and nectarines?
As much as I'm very partial to Japanese white peaches, I also adore white nectarines very much. I first had them in Hawaii, I think, but the first really good ones I had were those in Australia when I visited there in 2006. Sweet and juicy, firm but not stone-hard, they were the closest thing to Japanese white peaches outside of Japan - rather more so than regular white peaches were (except maybe doughnut peaches). I had never seen white nectarines in Japan until this year; as far as I know, nectarines here are all yellow, and they aren't even labeled as white or yellow, for there was no white. So I was really excited to find them at the store this year.
The combination of peaches/nectarines and figs isn't something that would come to my mind naturally, but I happened to have seen a recipe for white peach and fig granita in a food magazine, so I decided to go ahead with them.
I went with about half each of the two fruits, but my white nectarine and fig frozen yogurt came out definitely more figgy than nectarine-y. While the simple peach frozen yogurt was as light as a feather, this one here was just a notch richer with a hint of musky aroma of fig, making it a favorable late summer/early autumn treat.
The above-mentioned granita, by the way, was from the last December/January issue of donna hay magazine (#42, 2008) that I'd bought back in this past March while in London. Though it was essentially a Christmas issue, being a southern hemisphere-based magazine, it was full of summery recipes, including some with peaches and nectarines. I remember reading this in London, when the air was just about to become warm there, longing for the stone fruit season. And can you believe it is almost over? Not fair!
Anyhow, because I had white nectarines and figs at hand, I might as well would do the granita, too, I thought. Hence white nectarine and fig granita here.
Like most granita recipes, this one was fairly simple to make. You puree some white peaches (or nectarines, as I did) and figs, and add sugar that has been dissolved into water; here are not required to cook up sugar and water until syrupy, just until the sugar is dissolved. Pour the mixture into a tray and pop it in the freezer, stirring it now and then until all frozen and icy.
Except this time, in keeping with my recent obsession with making honey-sweetened frozen treat, I replaced the sugar with honey - and simply added some water, just to thin down the fig-nectarine mixture that was quite thick when pureed. I also added a bit of gin (which has replaced vodka as my choice spirit to use in frozen desserts) and some juice of fresh ginger, although that was hardly noticeable in the granita. It still tasted good, though.
As I had yet more figs and nectarines left, I made a little extra effort and did one more thing with them; baking. Yes, it has finally become cool enough to fire up the oven.
I love baking with figs. And it looked as if everyone was baking up figs in the blogsphere these past week or so, and I was itching to do my share - at least a bit. I would have liked to do something a little more elaborate to showcase this beautiful early autumn goodness, but for now I settled with something simple and rustic, which is to say, my kind of cake.
As it happens, the stone fruit feature article on the said issue of donna hay magazine had a recipe for lemony peach cake, which was more or less a simple pound cake with a good dose of grated lemon rind and a bit of yogurt added to it. It sounded good and looked fairly simple to make.
So that made my cake of the day, except I topped it with figs and nectarines in place of yellow peaches as used in the recipe. I really came to take a liking to the fig-peach/nectarine combo! And oh, I also substituted brown sugar and whole wheat flour for white sugar and flour, respectively.
Baked in small individual-sized pans and dusted with confectioner's sugar on top, my lemony nectarine-fig cake made a rather pretty afternoon treat, especially with the nectarine-fig frozen yogurt as well as fruit wedges alongside.
The cake was light and nicely spongy, and tasted fairly good, which came as a bit of surprise to me, to be honest. The thing is, I can't really say that I have always been successful with Donna Hay baking recipes. I admire her beautiful magazine, and her recipes for savory dishes have usually worked alright - just not baking recipes. The ones I've tried have produced a varying degree of success, with a rather high chance of disappointments, as far as I am concerned. Maybe it is just me, but who knows.
So my hope wasn't sky high when I was baking this cake, which would have been what made all the difference.
But I enjoyed the cake, as its tiny last sliver of residual heat melted the frozen yogurt, tuning into a nice sauce for the cake. And I'm looking forward to baking more with figs for the coming few weeks.
Now I'm leaving you with a brief note on how to make my frozen yogurt, in case anyone is interested. All amounts are approximate.
Honey-sweetened Peach Frozen Yogurt
Makes approx. 1 1/4 cups / 300 ml frozen yogurt.
14-16 oz. / 400-450 g plain yogurt
1-2 white peaches, peeled or unpeeled, pitted, and cut into chunks to make 1 heaping cupful / 240+ ml
1 tsp. juice of lemon
2-3 Tbs. honey
1 tsp. gin (or vodka, or other spirit/liquor to go with peach)
First, drain the yogurt by placing it in a large strainer lined with a double layer of paper towel and, set over a bowl. Cover and leave it overnight in the fridge. It should yield approx. 1/2 cup / 120 ml of thick yogurt. Keep chilled until ready for use.
Meanwhile, using a blender, puree the peach chunks with the juice of lemon, and measure out approx. 3/4 cup / 180 ml / 180 g of puree. Add 2 Tbs. of honey and gin, and mix well. Pour the mixture into a freezer-safe container, cover and freeze until almost firm, 3-4 hours or overnight.
With a metal spoon, break the frozen mixture into pieces, and process until the mixture is smooth in the blender. Add the thickened yogurt and process further until thoroughly combined. Pour the mixture back into the container, cover and freeze for another 3-4 hours, or until almost firm. Process once more until smooth, and taste; add another Tbs. of honey if necessary. Freeze again for further 3-4 hours or until ready to serve.
- This may seem to make some odd amount of frozen yogurt, but this was the way it worked around here; most store-bought plain yogurt comes in a 400- to 450-g tub, and peaches are large and weigh 8-9 oz. / 230-250 g or so. I also tend to make desserts in a small amount, too. Feel free to adjust the amount to suit your needs. In general, up to about 1 cup / 240 ml / 220-240 g peach puree should work fine with every 1/2 cup / 120 ml thickened yogurt.
- I don't use an ice cream machine because I don't have one. If you do, though, by all means use it - just combine the pureed peach mixture and thickened yogurt and churn according to the manufacturer's directions. You may also use a food processor or an immersion blender to puree and smoothen the mixture, although I have not tried them myself; either way, make sure that your choice of machine is sturdy enough to process ice.
- Either white or yellow peaches work fine. You could also use nectarines. For the white nectarine and fig frozen yogurt mentioned above, use a white nectarine and a fig or two for a combined 3/4 - 1 cup / 180 - 240 g of puree.
Enjoy! -c x

I loved the ice cream recipe and I will try it with my yellow peaches tomorrow. I haven't got a ice cream machine either and never make ice creams but you are such an inspiration.
Besides, today I went to the market with my daughter and the peaches were beautiful, she doesn't like white peaches so instead of a basket of six big white Spanish peaches we bought a basket with 12 yellow ones...They are sweet and have a gorgeous red skin.
Thanks for all this beauty,

Oh, Chika,
the yellow peach ice cream is, so far, delicious. It is freezing right now but it tasted so good, so good, so good, it is a great happiness for me.
I have kind of followed your measurements but since I had a left over of 250 grams of thick Greek yogurt I calculated the amount of peaches to match it all. I used 1 tbsp of vanilla bean flavored cachaça (Brazilian spirit bottle I've been filling with empty pods) because it was the only one I had at home and some acacia honey and the puree tasted like heaven. Wonderful. I couldn't imagined it would be so good, the Spanish yellow peaches played their role well, of course.
Well, the fruit-yogurt mixture is freezing and I hope it all goes well tomorrow! I am kind of scared of blending it all in couple of hours. My first ice cream made without machine experience...

I just discovered the same thing about a couple of weeks ago - I bought some white nectarines from an organic market and the taste reminded me of Japanese white peach which is absolutely the best! I forgot to check where those nectarines were coming from, but I will definitely go back and get some more. :)
Your frozen yogurt and cake look so beautiful.

hello there, thanks all for your comments and kind words :)
Claudia - glad to hear it worked out good for you! this really is an ingredient-driven recipe and with all good stuff to begin with, it's hard to go wrong, and your peaches and rum sound amazing :)
Em - hurry up, the nectarine season is almost over! ;)

Your nectarine and fig granita looks delicious. I wish the end of summer wasn't so close!

Aww, this looks so pleasantly cold and delicate! I love the picture of the nectarines!

Pizza restaurant needs a website. Currently have had a placeholder type one-pager at our site http://www.charleston
We don't need anything complicated like integrated online ordering or whatnot...just a clean, user friendly layout with information easy to find for customers.
We need the following nav elements in the design
Contact Us
It's upto the individual designers to determine how to incorporate them though (i.e. top nav, side bar, etc.)
We have a logo already, as well as a company mascot. You can get them both from this link in a zip file. The mascot is not necessary to the design, but if it can be incorporated tastefully, then that would be a plus
Please don't use the existing look of the site as a basis for what we're looking for in a new design. It's just utilitarian and shouldn't be an indicator of what we like necessarily.
As for colors and deisgn ideas, we are leaning more towards a more earthy home-spun feel. We're not exactly country cuisine, but then again we're not upscale gourmet pizza either. I can try to elaborate better once things get rolling, or answer some questions you might have about us.
**added on 1/25/07***
wanted to throw out some more general ideas to work from. possible use of earthy colors and or wood grain somehow? also, i have come across a font i really like, that might work in some respect called 'cafeteria regular' and 'cafeteria black'. they arent a necessity for the design, but may end up working well as being a casual/informal font thats still really easy to read.
**added on 1/27/07**
keep in mind we're a pizzeria, and not an italian restaurant...there's a big difference between them. if you are interested in looking at some of our contemporaries in our industry i'd say check out pizza restaurants online and stay away from anything that describes itself as an italian restaurant, italian eatery, trattoria, etc.
also, use caution with stock pizza/food photos, as very few of them out there would resemble our product, as we havent had time to hire a professional food photographer to have shots of our menu created. i'd rather try to leave them out of the design if possible.

About Us
About UsOur Vision
To provide all people with the resources and technology required to maintain healthy and safe environments worldwide.
Our History
Environmental Health and Security Publishing L.L.C. (EHS) was founded in 2003 by Alan Borner as the venue for all products and technologies conceived and researched through initial development by the non-profit think tank Environmental Hazards Management Institute (EHMI). EHS produces, markets, and distributes environmental health and safety products, services, and technologies for individuals of all ages as well as for organizations and agencies in the private and public sector. Two recent EHS interactive tools, the Mold Management and Emergency Readiness and National Security wheels, are national best sellers.
Our Process
A "Knowledge Manufacturing" process solidifies the collaboration between EHMI and EHS Publishing. Unique to the EHMI process is the creation of a council of multi-disciplinary private and public organizations and institutions comprised of both professional and lay individuals. This diverse group determines the scope and nature of every single product well before product development and research. The council members submit vast amounts of information which is then hammered into concise tools for the general public, local, state and federal agencies, military bases and trade associations. These tools are based on sound science yet are easy-to-use. That political, business and environmental interests should come into conflict with one another is as certain that our bodies will come into conflict with the environment itself. But conflict can be invigorating, and by harnessing the power of the diverse reactions to the problems that face us all, EHMI is in a unique position to identify solutions that clarify the natural alignment between individuals, businesses and the globe. EHS exists to bring those solutions to you.
"Conflict is the gadfly of thought. It stirs us to observation and memory. It instigates to invention. It shocks us out of sheeplike passivity, and sets us at noting and contriving." -John Dewey
Founder and President
Alan John Borner
Alan John BornerAlan founded Environmental Health and Security Publishing, L.L.C. because of his passion for and pioneering works in the field of environmental health and safety. For more than thirty years, Alan has built a bedrock international reputation with his contributions to disaster preparedness and environmental health. Perceiving a gap between the knowledge available about environmental health issues and the widespread distribution of that information, Alan was motivated to produce educational materials, training, and environmental sensor technologies that meet today's emergency response and environmental health requirements. EHS was created as the outlet to get these products to the individuals and organizations that need them most.
With unique, interactive, multimedia educational tools, EHS Publishing empowers people not only to assess and respond to emergencies, but how to sustain healthy environments in their homes, businesses and communities. EHS products are used by more than 15 million citizens, educators, activists, students, employees, and military and government officials worldwide.
EHS Publishing was the natural outgrowth of Alan's work at Environmental Hazards Management Institute (EHMI), which he founded in 1979. EHMI is an independent non-profit, environmental, health, and safety education and research organization dedicated to resolving environmental problems through education and consensus. EHMI is internationally recognized as serving as a "bridge" between adversarial extremes through its programs, services, information-sharing, and educational products. EHMI also functions as the research and development arm of EHS Publishing, LLC.

Situated somewhere in the middle of two closely related movie trends of the 1970s - the "All-Star Cast Disaster Movie" (The Poseidon Adventure, The Towering Inferno, Earthquake) and the "Terrorist Disaster Movie" (Two-Minute Warning, Skyjacked, Black Sunday) - Rollercoaster from 1977 nestles nicely in its own netherworld, not realizing that the genre was running out of steam (Beyond The Poseidon Adventure anyone?). Although the "Disaster Movie" would continue to reemerge in Hollywood for decades under new guises (Independence Day, 2012, Dante's Peak, etc.), its Golden Age was really when a guy like George Kennedy or Charlton Heston was at the rudder and stars from Hollywood's Golden Age were still available to be carted in on their wheelchairs to make an appearance and collect their checks. Rollercoaster did manage to dig up a couple of legends (Richard Widmark and Henry Fonda) and a sorta cult name actress (Susan Strasberg, maybe more famous as the daughter of Actor's Studio guru Lee Strasberg), along with a pair of '70s names (George Segal and Timothy Bottoms). Director James Goldstone, whose most important credit may actually be the second pilot of the Star Trek TV series, manages to employ some Alfred Hitchcock cat-and-mouse tricks to generate suspense and give a dying genre a last gasp of breath.
To think that Bottoms started the decade off with two great movies (The Last Picture Show and The Paper Chase), in Rollercoaster he plays "Young Man," a zombie-like psycho who is blowing up rollercoasters around the country in order to extort a million dollar ransom from the companies that own the parks. After an explosion on a rollercoaster, ride-inspector Harry Calder (Segal) is the first to figure out that this was no accident. He's a regular guy with a teenage daughter (Helen Hunt, in her first movie) whom he often pawns off on his girlfriend (Strasberg), and a deep anti-authority complex, to the chagrin of his hateful boss (a brief Fonda clearly trying to up his SAG pension numbers). Bottoms makes Segal his point man as he threatens more bombings and the FBI joins him, with the angriest FBI head-man of all time (played by the one time great Widmark, who just spews intensity here) who seems to hate Segal even more than Fonda. The highlight is an intense scene in an amusement park, as Segal is forced to deliver money to Bottoms and instead ends up carrying a bomb onto a coaster. It all leads to Segal having to argue with the dumbbells in charge of the investigation and a showdown with the terrorist who looks to ruin the upcoming 4th of July festivities at one of the many possible amusement parks in America (and he does end up slightly disrupting the big Sparks concert at Six Flags Magic Mountain).Continue Reading

The recent Blue Avocado study of finance professionals at nonprofit organizations serves as a great reminder of how important and yet overlooked this role is. As the study report notes, the "tenures and experiences of executive directors (CEOs) and development directors" get most of the attention.
Meanwhile, toiling in the background are a group of professionals that are, the study shows, typically highly trained and inclined to stay with the nonprofit longer than either its CEO or development director. They're getting a bit of short shrift in return, it appears: Their biggest stressors include when other nonprofit staff don't comply with basic financial procedures (like turning in timesheets) or when they don't have enough time to do everything on their plate (other job duties having often been heaped there).
Let's take a moment to reflect on the key part the finance director (or CFO) plays in an organization's fundraising efforts, doing everything from:
- explaining to staff and board what the cash flow and overall financial situation is
- helping plan future budgets for projects or grant applications
- collecting on reimbursement-based grant money
- keeping track of a myriad of individual donations
- preparing budget figures for follow-up reports to foundation grantors
- making sure the nonprofit survives its audit with reputation unscathed, to
- much more.
Given all that, it might be worth checking in with your CFO to see whether the typical stressors are grinding away at him or her — and try to eliminate at least some of them (turn in those timesheets, folks!) in order to enhance the likelihood of a good long tenure with your organization.

A sophomore again won top honors at Wabash College's Moot Court competition Tuesday night in Salter Hall.
Jackson Price, a Louisville, Ky. sophomore, was named top advocate. He teamed with last year's winner Steven Rhodes '07 to argue the respondent's position. Kyle Cassidy '08 and Aaron Cook '06 spoke as petitioners. The case was based on law schools trying to ban military recruiters from recruiting on campus because of the military's rules on sexual orientation.
The four Wabash men took turns arguing and being peppered with questions from a panel of real judges. The Honorable James S. Kirsch, Chief Judge of the Indiana Court of Appeals, chaired the panel. His son Adam '07 is a Wabash student. Kirsch was joined by Hon. Terry Crone, also a member of the Court of Appeals. Hon. Douglas Morton '68 was the third judge. Each year a Wabash professor rounds out the panel. Prof. Kay Widdows sat in judgment this year.
"This is the first time I've been at this event, but I've heard about it from some of my fellow judges who said 'Doug, you really need to do this.' " Morton said. "I'm very impressed with the quality of the arguments I heard. The work these young men put into this and their ability to stand up under difficult conditions, the questions we throw at them, and how they handle themselves it shows that they're fine young men."
The judges didn't hesitate to pepper all four advocates with questions moments into their prepared remarks. They would question their logic, the law and challenge their arguments throughout.
"It was a little nerve wracking coming in and being in front of real judges," Price said. "I hold lawyers and people in the legal profession in pretty high esteem so it's a little intimidating being with these people I hope to aspire to join one day."
Wabash's Moot Court is in its 12th year. The program is sponsored by the Wabash College Rhetoric Department and the Indianapolis Association of Wabash Men.
Scott Himsel '85, a Wabash Visiting Assistant Professor of Political Science, is just one of many organizers. Through the years, Himsel estimated, as many as 80-90 Wabash-graduated lawyers have participated in the preparation and preliminary rounds of Moot Court.
"I think they do it because its fun," Himsel said. "It's fun to come back to the campus which holds a lot of great memories for them, but it's also fun to contribute in a way other than just writing a check. It is great to actually help with the students' education. What's really rewarding about it is how well they do."
The alumni involvement is also a factor that draws many students to participate.
"Having alumni support is one of the most important things I think in developing young aspiring professionals," Price said. "Everybody I met in the program, and every alumnus I encountered, has been great – they've only wanted to help us out. It's very encouraging and beneficial for the students."
But the competition is tough. The judges have to look at the arguments differently than they do each day in the courtroom.
"Here we are testing them and not the legal positions, that's different because in the real courtroom the search is for the law and the truth," Morton said "Here we have to measure their ability to deal with difficult issues."
And it takes a lot of work to prepare for the tough questioning.
"I put it off far longer than I should have," Price said of his preparation. "Friday, I definitely crammed a whole lot. After each round I'd go back and I'd read the case again and again and come up with new arguments and find new points. It was a substantial amount of time."
But the sophomore was thrilled with the result and the experience.
"It was great. I've always wanted to be a lawyer so this was a lot of fun. I love public speaking. I love being in front of people and arguing so I felt pretty much at home."

48 reasons we're psyched about Super Bowl XLVIII
We've waited two long weeks for Super Bowl Sunday. The good news, the Denver Broncos and Seattle Seahawks make a great matchup that's worth the wait, 48 times over.
1. It's the top-ranked Broncos' offense (scoring and total) vs. the top-ranked Seahawks' defense (scoring and total). The best two are playing for No. 1.
2. Peyton going for two rings (again). In Eli's stadium. To try to match Eli. That's assuming you don't already think he's better than Eli (he is).
3. Game-day Richard Sherman is more fun than media-day Richard Sherman. WATCH: Sherman asked craziest Media Day question
4. Football in February played in actual February weather. Skeptics and groundhogs be damned. MORE: Last-minute guide
5. Did we mention it's a Manning playing in another Manning's stadium? How cool is that?
6. Something tells me that Russell Wilson kid has got a bright future . PHOTOS: From prep stars to Super stars
7. Your annual reminder that this is the last NFL game that counts until September.
8. Because Sporting News hand picked this Super Bowl for your entertainment. MORE: SN's Super Bowl XLVIII pick
9. The Red Hot Chili Peppers are part of your halftime entertainment . Ten years after some wardrobe malfunction, leave it to the NFL to book guys who always have their shirts off.
10. Before this list goes to pot, let's share the fun fact that Colorado and Washington are the two states that have legalized marijuana. And you thought you couldn't stop eating at your Super Bowl party.
11. John Fox gets his second shot at a Super Bowl 10 years after the first. And somehow, he's still four years younger than Pete Carroll.
12. Speaking of Carroll, it's about time he had another shot at a national championship. That counts. MORE: Carroll wants to join exclusive club
13. Beast Mode on the East Coast. You know him better as Marshawn Lynch, boss.
14. Wes Welker gets another chance at a ring after the Patriots didn't give it to him.
15. This one's for John (Elway), too.
16. Because we've missed this rivalry since the old AFC West. Where have you gone, Dave Krieg?
17. It's Richard Sherman, the league's best cornerback, against Peyton Manning, the league's best quarterback. At least that's what Richard Sherman told us. A game of duck, duck, Seahawk .
18. Demaryius Thomas. Julius Thomas. Earl Thomas. Philip Michael Thomas (we can only hope).
19. Where there's Eric Decker, there's Jessie James. As extremely good-looking people, how did they ever fit in during Super Bowl week?
20. You can have Felix Unger. We'll take Max Unger. You know, the kind of player us Oscar Madison types love.
21. Speaking of Manny Ramirez, he's playing center in the Super Bowl too. And no, it's not just that the other Manny Ramirez bulked more than usual.
22. We'll take Mitch Unrein. You can have….Never mind, we don't know anyone else named Unrein.
23. We know that Mitch Unrein's girlfriend, Corey Cogdell, medaled in the Olympics . We also know Mitch Unrein is your best prop bet to score a "fat guy" TD.
24. Matt Prater and Steven Hauschka, because one of them is bound to boot the game-winner. And neither will be afraid of a little weather.
25. Britton Colquitt punting. Except the fact that Peyton Manning doesn't let him punt.
26. Trindon Holliday returning punts. Except the fact the Seahawks don't let anyone return punts.
27. Champ Bailey gets his shot to be Super Bowl Champ Bailey before becoming Hall of Famer Champ Bailey.
28. Speaking of Georgia, Knowshon Moreno grew up in New Jersey. He's shown he was born to run in a Super Bowl in New Jersey.
29. That Erin Andrews postgame interview with Richard Sherman went so well, we can only hope we get it pregame. Over and over again.
30. Thankfully, we will never get tired of hearing the inspiring story of Seahawks fullback Derrick Coleman.
31. We want to see whether Tarvaris Jackson or Brock Osweiler will be a Super Bowl-winning quarterback.
32. Pot Roast will be on the menu.
33. Peyton Manning already won a Super Bowl in the rain. Just maybe, he'll try to win one in the snow.
34. Speaking of Manning, no pressure. A Super Bowl win will just mean he had the greatest season by a quarterback in NFL history .
35. Manning in the pocket, Wilson on the run. TUCKER: Broncos haven't seen a QB like Wilson
36. You don't see big hits like Kam Chancellor big hits.
37. Your Super Bowl party isn't really a party without Papa John's and Skittles.
38. Finally, some good reality television in New Jersey.
39. Anything Manning's arm can do, Wilson's can do, too. (Yes he can).
40. Remember, no one in or from Seattle and Denver is complaining about the weather.
41. Cliff Avril and Michael Bennett were signed to chase a guy like Manning. Now let's see if they can do it. MORE: Protecting Peyton
42. Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie is long on name, long on game. But Richard Sherman would tell you he's not as good as him.
43. An opera singer is about to class up the national anthem . It ain't starting until the well apportioned lady sings.
44. It has our kind of big off-Broadway plays.
45. Instant classic ahead.
46. One more time, because you won't hear it enough: This one's for Peyton's entire legacy.
47. Because with all due respect to the Olympics, this is the best winter game you'll see.
48. It's not the Pro Bowl.
AND THERE'S MORE: Super Bowl MVPs | Super Bowl rings | Best players to have never won a Super Bowl

The Cubs minor league system had a tremendous year in 2013, it was so good that Jason Parks (@ProfessorParks) of Baseball Prospectus has vaulted them to the second best system in all of baseball. Parks continued the Cubs prospect love fest on Twitter saying that Javier Baez could easily land the #1 overall prospect spot, those are big words.
Tonight there should be even more light shined on the Cubs system as MLB Network is airing their top 100 prospects announcement at 9:00 PM CST. Not only that, but some of the prospects that are on the list will be live tweeting during the broadcast, including Cubs prospects Albert Almora (@Albertalmora), and Kris Bryant (@KrisBryant_23). As these list's come out I will be back with a full rundown of who said what, and where the Cubs prospects rank in baseball. Make sure you tune in tonight and follow Albert and Kris on Twitter tonight, and don't be surprised if you don't hear Javier Baez's name until the top 5.
Here's a link to the mlb.com story about tonight's broadcast.
