sports ish
ok, i'm feeling a little bit better about the situation surrounding lance...
turns out there was only one newspaper which published the dirt on lance, and it was a french magazine
the french are supposedly bitter, and just looking for someone to blame, since they haven't won the tour de france for like 25 years
the accusation is that they got lance's sample from 7 years ago, but 7 years is a long time, and perhaps samples change when it's that long
and they don't have A samples AND B samples; just B samples.

michael vick has a long way to go before he can claim to be "one of the best," as he did on national tv in an interview... can your arms match your legs, mike? your legs may be unsurpassed, but if i wanted a qb who could run, i'd rather have a qb more akin to donovan mcnabb or jeff garcia.

and it looks like to might really be going away from the eagles...
heh, i figure it like this; seems like no team wants t.o., right? nfl should just create another expansion team, and put t.o. on it; problem solved :D we can call it the "t.o. team"

i really hope the allegations against lance armstrong aren't true
because if it's true he really did use steroids, i think one of sports' greatest heroes and stories will be shot to waste.
think about it...
lance not only survives cancer, he comes back to win the tour de france...
then he does it again... times 6...
and now, to realize that possibly all his accomplishments were not due to genetics and plain old fashioned hard work...
that's a disappointment...
with all the allegations, who's next? michael jordan?

back to the childhood days
it's really amusing to me how the only guys who are going to canaan retreat this year are me, jon, jerm and norm.
because aside from me, all the other guys have connections within the church, like deep within it, like to the day it was born; norm's family's just sprinkled throughout the church, for instance.
WITH me, it's basically the group of guys that have refused to find a new church everytime we return from college.
not that i'm saying i could be stuck here forever... ditto w/the others...
but CTCC will always somehow find some place in my heart...
NOW, retreat will truly be a retreat... a place where you REALLY get away from everything to be w/god. funny how i will end up getting away from my evolution class to be w/god; imagine the humor in that.

now, off the computer in the cpu lab, and back to doing something else.

vf4evo jacky for dummies
jacky's definitely too fun, even though he's really easy to play; i wouldn't say he's one of my "mains," but it's really easy to use him, and yes, he really is pretty fun to play...
offensive poking strategies of note...
pp, then...
-throw if you think they'll remain standing, respecting your strikes,
-or continue the string w/f+p if you think they'll duck or attack back, or delay it if you think they'll evade,
-or continue the string w/u+p as an alterative to f+p if you think they'll try to attack; they can duck it, but if they try to attack, it will crush all attacks and give a free u+p,
-or continue the string w/b+p,k as yet another alternative to f+p; they can duck it, but if they remain standing, on block it will give you a slight advantage and leave you backturned,
off of a f+p...
-if they normally get hit, follow w/the k and knock them down
-if they stagger or get countered(look for red or yellow flash), press the advantage
-if it's blocked, try delaying the followup p or go defensive
-if they fear the followup attacks and keep blocking high, throw
db+p and b+p,db+p are both excellant low pokes, and safe on block for the most part; throw them out occasionally when you can get the opponent to block high all the time; the second is not only a true combo, if the opponent is touchy and tries to attack after b+p, try delaying and then do the canned b+p to interrupt
ff+kb is a useful midrange poke; upon block, try going d+g, or on hit, go into his ppx flowcharts...
combo starters:
off of a backdash, p+kp and b+k+g are both excellant combo starters and fairly safe on block; these can be used to kill evades or low punchers/elbowers,
use df,df+k to punish failed evades; higher risk than the other combo starters, but a lot more reward,
or f+k to interrupt if you have a sizeable advantage, hoping it interrupts and floats the opponent for a combo,
you can also use FC,df+p in place of f+k; it's also a very good move and functions about the same as f+k, with a little more speed, a little less range,
master his "iai;" it's slow, but safe, and gives advantage on block, plus the potential for 70+ points on any hit
okizeme:
b,f+k+g is an awesome move; beats evades, duckers, attackers, even backdashers; amazing move; only standing guard will beat it; careful usage of this move causes the opponent to not want to dodge as much, which enables you to pressure with other safer pokes after they get up
b+p,db+p is also good in cases like these
as well as throw
on non-general defense:
his dodge attack is excellant as it gives good advantage on normal hit... good to use when you're on disadvantage and know the opponent will try to counterattack...
his d+p+kkk is a really good move as long as you don't abuse it; interrupts all sorts of stuff, really great near the end of the round...
and i just love the df+ppp; seriously, my favorite move with jacky...
sure it's great when you block a move that's -14; then it's 64 pts gone right there...
but it truly shines as a punishing move to use off of a successful evade...
easy as pie to do, but a lot better than most of the other 1-button combo starters in the game(except maybe jeff's knee, but that thing's kinda slow)...
if you successfully dodge an attack that's slower than elbow, the opponent's getting plastered onto the ground...

see you guys in about a week i guess...
romans 9 is an excellant chapter which has a lot of reasons why predestination is clearly supported by the bible, that god does clearly raise up people simply to use them for his displays of power, such as the pharoah... go read this chapter and think about it for a bit...
