earl gets angry when people don't treat the game with respect and yes HIS bipolar disorder causes him to not be able to control his anger like a normal healthy person would. Every time I see him go off it's because people don't give the game the respect he thinks it deserves. He can't do that on his own. We should demand that shit games like slop 9 ball aren't the game our best players play. please explain to me with all your immense knowledge how in today's society of look at me low key players who don't have big ego's and who don't have loud and brash personalities that they wear on there sleeve will escalate pool? Pool is a terrible game to watch if your not a player. Every sport or game that makes big money does it with tv contracts. Go watch the video on you tube showing the history of how snooker blew up and you'll see it wasn't the game..it was the personalities of the players. Not only do we need Earl ..we need 20 or 30 more people playing the game like earl if you ever want to get espn or fox sports or whoever interested in putting it back on tv and our players getting the financial recognition we think they deserve then we have to change with the times. Quite guys wearing suits in silent pool rooms isn't going to get people who don't normally play pool interested. If you think that pool is to good for that then it will continue to die as the times keeping on moving. All you have to do is be at a pro event like the super billiards expo and watch a half empty room immediately fill up the instant it's time for earl to play to recognize that.


thanks for link!
Thanks, Hustlin, for that piece. I enjoyed it UNTIL around 40:00, when Earl says...

"...That doesn't exist anymore [his self-pride and genuineness], you stripped me of that.
I'm not as genuine as I once was, I still am, but it's just there's so many things that happened that I never thought that pool would be like this."


So he's blaming pool's demise for his not being genuine or showing pride for the game anymore?

YOU, Earl, YOU were in a position to be a role model.
YOU had the opportunity to help pool.
Instead YOU too it out on the game, and, most important,
YOU took it out on others because pool didn't go the way YOU wanted it.
YOU will always have some excuse to present for YOUR bad behaviors.
YOU MAKE ME SICK. GROW UP!!

"Pool excellence is not about excellent pool, it's about becoming someone...." -Paul Newman Color of Money

And, Earl, you became someone that today's (and tomorrow's) pool player must avoid.
Pool will improve after you retire, trust me.

I checked many, but I stayed with: FSCapturePortable.
Because:
1.It is for free
2.It is very simple
3.It give good output
4.Ymm, I think 3 is enough ;)

Man, I used this software for the first time today for a job. I had a webinar that was done in an Adobe Connect format. It had a video of a man speaking in the upper right-hand section of the window, and then in the middle of the Adobe Connect window, there was a PowerPoint presentation. I was only interested in the PowerPoint presentation and the audio of the man speaking.

So I used FS Capture this morning for the 63-minute webinar on Adobe Connect. I was thinking, initially, that it would capture the entire video in a fast dubbing-like speed. I had not realized that you have to re-record in a real-time speed, but, hey, that's *exactly* what I needed, the entire video with audio in a *DIFFERENT* format.

FS Capture created a WMV file in a real-time manner. I then took that little baby and put it in my software. Voila! On the road again. I couldn't work with the Adobe Connect format at all, but I can work with the WMV format.

I'm using the "free" 30-day trial version, but I'm buying this work tool as soon as the free trial version expires. This is a godsend. Thank you again! :)

AzBilliards can be such an educational tool, aside from pool. :grin-square:

Would anyone happen to know the name of the song used in the story?

A guy humming a tune.

Sounds like it could be a nice song.
