I just spoke to the local Tire Shop who helped me get a packaged deal for my BFG TA K/O and Weather Tech for me. Im just trying to get a feeler on whos interested in picking up Weather Tech Digital Fit Floor Mats. If I can get him a list on whos interested, I can get a quote for and message you back. Only those who are interested and ready to buy immediately put your name on the list. I posted on the recent GB and already have one person on the list and got him a quote for $160. Everyone should be getting around the same quote because JJames69 is already across the nation from SoCal. If you live in Los Angeles or want to pick up tires I can get you a quote too.

Mississippi Rebels (17-11)
@South Carolina Gamecocks (14-12)
Tuesday, February 22
Colonial Life Arena
Attendance: 9,765
South Carolina
Columbia, SC (Sports Network) - Sam Muldrow registered a double-double with 23 points and 10 rebounds as he led the South Carolina Gamecocks to a 79-73 win over the Ole Miss Rebels in an SEC showdown at Colonial Life Arena.
Muldrow finished the night shooting 9-of-15 from the floor and also blocked four shots for the Gamecocks (14-12, 5-8 SEC) as they snapped a five-game slide. Ramon Galloway added 15 points off the bench, followed by Malik Cooke and Demontre Harris with 13 and 11 points, respectively.
The Rebels (17-11, 5-8) were paced by Chris Warren who scored a career-high 33 points on a career-best eight three-pointers as the team lost for the second straight outing and the third in the last four games overall. Zach Graham contributed 10 points, but he shot a woeful 5-of-20 from the field and missed all seven of his three-point tries. Reginald Buckner chipped in nine points and a game-high 11 rebounds.
Ole Miss led by as many as eight points in the first half at 21-13, but a 16-2 run by the Gamecocks put the hosts back in control and eventually a 38-34 edge at the break despite just 38.2 percent shooting from the floor.
South Carolina led by as many as 14 points in the second half, thanks in part to holding the Rebels to just 3-of-14 shooting behind the three-point line, but it was clutch free throws down the stretch that preserved the six-point win for USC.
The Gamecocks finished the night hitting all but two of their 22 free-throw attempts.

learn not to take it personally, that is a lesson for ana as well
or are you just like Ana, living in denial
she exaggerate injuries, and her panic and fear do that for her
an injury is one thing, the press is the other
good thing you could do, not trust blindly what is written and said, thinking it trough is much appreciated
in the time of her big crises, you wrote some ugly and serious fake fingered stuff about her, why is it iritant for you now when it comes from another is an interesting question
btw, I never said she faked it, I sad she made minor a major, she tends to do that unintetionally
I don't think anyone should assume such things about injuries. Again.. I take you've never played tennis or been injured to know what it is. You have no idea about it. If she has an abdominal strain one day and plays on it the next day, she will tear it more and be out for over 3 months. Actually, Ana has downplayed this injury to the press.. made it look as minor as posible.. abdominal tears are never minors.
All you say are unfounded
. I've been hard on Ana, but I always ended up being right. You, on the other hand, is saying things that never happened, implying things with no fundament. Someone should never play around with injuries like you are doing. Injuries are serious stuff.
Now go troll in GM. What are you doing here anyway? This is a place for Ana's fans..
Mental Strength is an underrated ability, it sets champions apart
Making mistakes is human, repeating them is dumb.
What I write is my opinion, and my opinion only.

I disagree. The Veterans' Employment and Training Service of the Labor Department referred the serviceman's complaint to the Justice Department upon completion of its investigation. Investigation.Originally Posted by bluedog
By it's very nature, this tells me that the action taken by the company against the reservist was sanctioned by all echelons of the chain of command. If it were merely the actions taken by one individual, my guess is that the company would have distanced themselves from him/her and made things right. But it appears that the investigation proved otherwise. If there were other circumstances involved, I'm sure they would have been discovered and the proper merit assigned to the validity of such. Regardless, it seems such an argument had no bearing on the outcome.
Mountain out of a mole hill? Naw. I care very little about any quality product when there are other products out there that meet or exceed it.
And those are the companies that get my dollars; Not the companies who are morally complacent and disregard the rights assigned to our servicemen and women by law.

If someone was to fake their own death by supposedly committing suicide by jumping off a bridge, will the police declare you dead even if they don't find your body? What do you do once you re-emerge? I mean how do you get stuff like a Social Insurance Number and a birth certificate? Can you take over a dead person's SIN number without the government getting wind of it?

North Carolina Startup Seeks To Crossbreed An Urban Farm With A Grocery Store
August 22, 2014 | David SandsImagine going into a store and picking out your dinner by literally pulling it up by the roots. Sound farfetched? It's not. In fact, it's the behind a North Carolina-based venture called the Farmery.
The project is an effort to blend the convenience of a retail grocery store and cafe with the freshness of an indoor urban farming system operation.
Several prototypes of the system are already up and running, and the Farmery team is now in final talks with investors to get a two-story, 16,000-square-foot version operational by fall of 2015, most likely in North Carolina. Read More
Montreal Startup Uses Tech to Build a Sharing Economy for Gardeners
June 18, 2014 | AJ HughesMost, if not all, gardeners have experienced frustration over the amount of waste involved with gardening. Examples include unused soil, dead plants and compulsive purchases that don't take root.
Wanting to address this problem, hobby gardener and computer science engineer Nicolas Cadilhac of Montreal, Quebec decided to mix his information technology acumen and love for gardening by creating a web site that would match gardeners to a surplus of unwanted plants and other garden materials. Thus in 2012, Cadilhac launched PlantCatching. Read More

Chicago Startup Offers Healthy, Organic Foods in Vending Machines
April 4, 2014 | Noelle SwanAs a traveling salesman, Luke Saunders knew first hand just how hard it can be to find fresh food on the go.
"I was the person who would pick up prepared food for the road because I knew that when I got there, there wouldn't be good options," he says. "If I ever got to a place and I had forgotten to plan ahead, the options were limited for healthy food."
His solution? Farmer's Fridge: vending machines stocked with fresh, healthy salads and snacks. Read More
California Startup Leverages RFID Technology to Keep Food Fresh
March 7, 2014 | Trish PopovitchIn a world filled with contaminated food outbreaks, low-quality fresh produce at the grocery stores and an emerging class of sustainable producers, the time to improve fresh food logistics is now upon us.

Startup Utilizes Social Media to Fight Food Waste, Feed the Hungry and Increase Revenue for Farmers
November 5, 2013 | Trish PopovitchIt all started with a Facebook post.
Nick Papadopoulos was working as acting general manager of Bloomfield Farms, his wife's parents' 45-acre organic vegetable farm located in Northern California. One day, he found himself alone in the cooler after a farmer's market, sipping on a beer and observing all of the unsold food that would soon become part of the farm's chicken feed and compost bins.
Suddenly, he had an idea. Instead of giving premium organic produce to the chickens, why not give it to hungry people? So, he went online to Facebook and started typing. The original Facebook post offering leftover produce that started the cropsourcing website known as CropMobster can still be seen on the site today.
Startup Seeks to Build Better Farmers Market By Providing Year Round Online Access to Food
July 15, 2013 | Melonie MagruderWhat if you had access to a fresh farmers market seven days a week, knew exactly what they would be offering so that you can plan your meals, were able to contact your preferred vendors with a shopping list and could pay for everything in advance, with your fresh veggies being delivered directly to your door?
That's exactly what Antony Lee, founder and CEO of Fresh Nation, has put together.
"The idea was to build a network of farmers markets across the country so that it's a win for the vendors and a win for the customers," Lee said. "We don't necessarily need more farmers markets, we need better farmers markets." Read More

BD Playlist: Brad Vol. 7
It's Monday, which means it's time for a new BD Playlist! This week's list comes courtesy of Brad (a.k.a. Mr. Disgusting), who's got a list that tackles modern music as well as dives into the past for some glorious gems.
Check it out below and let us know what you're listening to these days!
Gunship Release One Of The Coolest Music Videos Ever
Retrosynth group Gunship are preparing for the upcoming release of their self-titled album, which doesn't have a release date but it should be relatively soon, considering that they are releasing singles and artwork.
However, in anticipation of this upcoming album, the band has released an official music video for their track "Fly For Your Life", which features vocals from Stella Le Page. The video was originally an animation by Damian Nenow of Polish studio Platige and it was then edited by the band to fit the music.
The clip tells the story of two pilots engaged in a vicious air battle, each one wounding the other as they weave through clouds, over a lake, and between mountain peaks. Come the end, we realize that there is more to these pilots, something evil and sinister buried deep within.
Also below is a teaser for the band's album, which uses clips from all sorts of 70′s and 80′s films, a ton of which are horror.
Every X-Man Ever: A Video Timeline
IGN has created a fantastic timeline of every X-Man ever. It's pretty self explanatory but it's super interesting to see how the team grew over the course of its 50 year history. The members you might remember as being typical mainstays certainly show up later than expected.the diversity of the X-Men can really be felt within the body of this video. And, if nothing else watch it to relive all the insanity this huge team has gone through time and time again.
I was impressed to see the All-New, All-Different X-Men relaunch and how it focused entirely on a multicultural team. As a long time X-men fanatic I somehow never even considered how this team was dynamically different. All I know is I came in at possibly the worst time to be a X-Men fan: the 1990′s.
'Resident Evil Revelations 2′ Achievements Revealed
We now have the full list of achievements/trophies for all four episodes of Resident Evil Revelations 2, and they are legion.

'Dying Light' Physical Copies Delayed for Most Regions Outside US
Earlier this morning, Techland confirmed in a statement on the official Dying Light Facebook page that essentially every region outside the US will be getting physical copies of the upcoming horror title a little later than the planned Jan 27 release date.
"There will be a short delay in the release of physical copies of Dying Light in Europe, Middle East, Africa, Asia and Australia. The game will have a global digital release on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC of January 27, 2015. As physical production has a longer lead time than digital there is some delay in the aforementioned territories. We will share information on the availability of physical copies as soon as it is confirmed."
No reason for the delay has been given.
[TV] "Preacher" Series Looks For Inspiration In the Right Places!
With the "Preacher" series going to pilot at AMC, Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg are hard at work developing out the adaptation of the incredible comic book series.
Having a bit of fun with fans, Rogan tweeted out of stack of movies they're using as inspiration for the new show based on Ennis and Steve Dillon's '90s comic book series "about Jesse Custer, a preacher in a Texas town who merges with a creature that has escaped from heaven and develops the ability to make anyone do anything he says. Along with his ex-girlfriend and an Irish vampire, the three embark on a journey to find God…and make him answer for his sins."
Taking a look below, you'll see a stack of movies that include everything from The Raid to the Kill Bill films.
Fans of "Preacher" should be excited by the photo as it looks like they're aiming to make some sort of Spaghetti Western, with insane action and strong dialogue. Having read through "Preacher" more than a dozen times, there's a very Tarantino-like appeal to the books, so it's nice to see Kill Bill in said stack. Which excites or surprises you the most?

Vicious New Adaptation of Stephen King's 'It'
From Beetlejuice to Gremlins, the EW interview with Seth Grahame-Smith has been beyond revealing, as the writer appears to be one of the more candid filmmakers in Hollywood.
Also hidden within the lengthy piece, Grahame-Smith talks about the long-gestured adaptation of Stephen King's It.
"I think that if anything, [the new film] will bring back some of the viciousness of the book that they couldn't do with the miniseries because it was for broadcast… I think it's going to be very scary, but I also feel like you've got Cary who is going to direct these kids—and he's incredible at casting, incredible at shooting. He's incredible with tone and atmosphere. One of the things I wanted to do is be a part of one of the really good King adaptations. As we know, there is an echelon of King adaptations that are classics. There are some that are okay. There are some that we'd rather forget."
Warner Bros. has been developing for what feels like an eternity, here's an update on the progress:
"We're going to get a draft, what is supposed to be the shooting [script], any day now from Cary and his writing partner… We're doing a deal for them to write the second movie. Our hope is to prep sometime in the next few months and shoot in the summer. That one is as much on the runway as we can possibly be. I know New Line is ready to go."
The 1990 television series took place in 1960, where seven outcast kids known as "The Loser Club" fight an evil demon who poses as a child-killing clown (pictured; Pennywise). 30 years later, they are called back to fight the same clown again.
Several Posters For the Terrifying 'It Follows'
Check out several new one-sheets for David Robert Mitchell's It Follows – already the most anticipated horror film of the year – which Radius-TWC will release on March 27th.
We nearly gave it a perfect score – calling it "a creepy, mesmerizing exercise in minimalist horror" – when reviewed out of the TIFF last September.
"For 19-year-old Jay (Maika Monroe), the fall should be about school, boys and weekends at the lake. Yet after a seemingly innocent sexual encounter she suddenly finds herself plagued by nightmarish visions; she can't shake the sensation that someone, or something, is following her. As the threat closes in, Jay and her friends must somehow escape the horrors that are only a few steps behind."
Maika Monroe, Keir Gilchrist, Daniel Zovatto, Jake Weary, Olivia Luccardi and Lili Sepe all star.
The 'Final Girls' Will Fight to the Death (Trailer)
Here's a trailer for Final Girls, shot here in Chicago back in 2013.
The filmmakers will test the film with an audience at the Kansas City's Panic Film Festival. The director of the film, Matt Storc, and two of the stars, Ashley Nickell and Emily Rochester, will be in attendance for a Q&A after the film.
"After surviving separate gruesome incidents, three girls help each other adapt and cope with the scars that were left behind by the slashers, psychopaths, and monsters from their pasts. When a relaxing weekend getaway is interrupted by a crazed stalker, tensions rise as the three fall back into the hell they tried to forget. This time however, they would rather spill blood than run from their demons. Who will make it out alive?"
[TV] "American Horror Story" to Be Reinvented Next Season…
If you've been watching "American Horror Story: Freak Show," then you know the FX series is getting bit stale. It's a bit unfortunate as the first three seasons were pretty damn spectacular – but it's clear something's broken, which means it's time to fix it.
FX Networks CEO John Landgraf tells TVLine Sunday at the Television Critics Association winter press tour changes are coming, alerting us to internal debate over the direction of the Ryan Murphy-created anthology series. He also knows that the arc is for the fifth season, (presumably) returning this October.
"I know what it is, but I can't [say]," said Landgraf. "I have to let [series boss] Ryan [Murphy] do his thing on that. But it's very different."
Landgraf went on to say of the franchise, "One of the things I love so much about that is that it can be radically, radically reinvented in terms of tone, setting, period, characters, cast." And along those lines, "I think there's going to be an unusually large reinvention in between Book 4 and Book 5 relative to, say, between Book 3 [Coven] and 4 [Freak Show]."
And while he knows that the fifth season will be present day, he has no clarity on whether or not Jessica Lange will return.
"Ryan is really, really independent in how he makes these shows and what he does. So I know the setting, I know something about the characters and something about the tone and the time period, but I don't actually know the cast yet."
Arenas Run Red in the Latest 'Mortal Kombat X' Footage
Of all the virtual worlds video games have taken me, the one Mortal Kombat X is set in seems the most painful. Not a single combatant seems too bothered by the fact that Kung Lao has resorted to weaponizing his clothes, or that Kitana has a pair of fans that cut through bone like butter. Man-demons with stabby grapple chains and cyborgs with arsenals that rival the military might of small countries must've desensitized them to those horrors.
Anyway, here's a new trailer for the upcoming game. Warner Bros. also wanted me to tell you that Goro lives on, but he's been turned into a pre-order bonus. Poor guy.
Mortal Kombat X hits PC, PS3, PS4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One on April 14.
[TV] First Promo for Eli Roth's "South of Hell"
Here's the first ever promo for WE tv's original supernatural thriller, "South of Hell", even if there's no actual footage yet.
In addition to Eli Roth (Hostel, Cabin Fever, "Hemlock Grove"), the directing line-up includes Ti West (House of the Devil, The Sacrament, The Innkeepers), Rachel Talalay ("Doctor Who," Tank Girl), Jennifer Lynch ("The Walking Dead," "Teen Wolf") and Jeremiah Chechik ("Helix," "Reign").
"South of Hell" premieres on WE tv in 2015.
Production is currently underway in Charleston, SC.
Charleston, South Carolina is the most possessed city in the world. Evil thrives there. Something with which 30-year-old exorcist Maria Abascal is intimately acquainted. She wrestles demons for a living. Especially Abigail, the one that lives within her. The one who feeds on damned souls and who's violated the laws of hell to live on earth—and live on, inside Maria. Now, as they work as one, Maria will discover how personal her battle with evil has become and how far Abigail will go to protect them both. It's a journey where the unspeakable is just a heartbeat away.
WE tv recently announced the cast of "South of Hell," led by actress Mena Suvari in the dual role of Maria Abascal and her inner demon, Abigail. The cast also includes: Zachary Booth as David Abascal, Maria's brother; Bill Irwin as Enos Abascal, Maria and David's father and cult leader; Drew Moerlein as Dusty, Maria's neighbor; Lamman Rucker as Rev. Elijah Bledsoe, a priest with a strong attraction to Maria,; Paulina Singer as the Reverend's daughter, Grace; Lydia Hearst as southern belle Charlotte Roberts; Slate Holmgren as the local drug dealer, Sweetmouth; and Lauren Velez as Tetra, a spiritual informant.

Post by South of Hell.Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen (Thankfully) Won't Be In 'X-Men: Apocalypse'
Look, don't get me wrong, I love Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen as actors, but I don't really want to see them return to the X-Men franchise.
Both X-Men: First Class and X-Men: Days of the Future Past are to be the first two in a new trilogy, but in order to segue into the new arcs, the duo were intricate parts of the puzzle. But, let's be honest here, James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender, the younger incarnations of Professor X and Magneto, respectively, are the heart of the new trilogy. I could watch those two actors duel on film for an eternity and never get bored.
So, when news broke this weekend that Stewart and McKellen won't appear in Singers X-Men: Apocalypse, I didn't care. At all. In fact, I think it's good as it gives more screen time to the other, more potent cast of characters.
Here's what Stewart said the when asked about the film by Larry King:
"No. Nor Sir Ian McKellen, either. I was learning quite a lot more about it last night, and it is going to be looking very much at the earlier lives of all our characters. And so I don't think we'll be making an appearance."
Now, can we get back to moping around knowing we won't get to see Cable on the big screen?
[TV] "American Horror Story: Freak Show" Season Finale Promo!
With FX's "American Horror Story: Freak Show" nearing its end, the series finally picked up steam (read Bree's review of last Wednesday's episode).
They hope to keep the momentum going into the season finale, 'Curtain Call,' in which the Freaks rebel against new management. Also, Dandy prepares for his debut performance, and Elsa arrives in Tinseltown.
It will air this Wednesday, January 21st, 2015, and written by John J. Gray and directed by Bradley Buecker.
[TV] "The Strain" Infects NYC This Summer (Trailer)
Even though I thought the first season of the Guillermo del Toro-produced "The Strain" had a beyond flaccid ending, the first half of the season was good enough to get my attention for a second bout with Nazi-NYC vamps.
The first teaser aired during last night's NFL NFC Championship game, which promised that "The Strain" return this summer. Also, it gives us a taste of what to expect…
Says the trailer, "The battle has begun. Evil is spreading. Fight or die." Now, it sounds like the entire city will now be aware of the virus and vampire plague, but will it just turn into "The Walking Dead" with vampires? That's not really what I wanted from the show – but I have to put my faith in del Toro.
Max Charles, just seen in American Sniper opposite Bradley Cooper, has been cast in the part as a regular, replacing Ben Hyland, who played Zach Goodweather in Season 1. "West Wing" alum Ron Canada also landed the recurring role of the crisis-bungling NYC mayor.
"When a freak virus kills all but four passengers on an airplane at JFK, Ephraim Goodweather (Corey Stoll), head of the Center for Disease Control's "Canary Team," is immediately called to the scene. With help from a mysterious Holocaust survivor (David Bradley), "Eph" and his colleague (Mía Maestro) uncover the outbreak's ties to vampirism. Now, the only way to stop the terrifying disease from wiping out mankind is to face its source – a sinister supernatural creature known as "The Master" – whose evil intent seems more powerful than any other force on Earth!"
Rave The Reqviem "Aeon" Music Video Premiere (Exclusive)
Bloody-Disgusting has teamed up with Swedish industrial metal group Rave The Reqviem to bring you the exclusive music video premiere for "Aeon", their latest single! The video makes heavy use of religious imagery, juxtaposing the softness of angelic hymns, courtesy of vocalist/songwriter Filip Lönnqvist's mother, with the darkness and anger of metal.
Lönnqvist states:
Since I'm known for being a pretentious and pompous perfectionist, I'm stunned by the fact that these guys managed to deliver a music video which made me 100% satisfied. It's the perfect visual propaganda for our grotesque little sect.
You can download the single physically via Bandcamp or digitally via iTunes.
The band will also be playing at The Resistanz Festival in Sheffield, UK on 3rd, 4th and 5th of April. Tickets are available here.
Director, cameraman and bassist Petter Perseius adds:
The production of this video has been both an artistic and logistic challenge for all of us. In order to capture the religious/occult and iconic feeling we were looking for, we had to persuade both church councils and restaurant owners in order to find right setting. But it was worth it. The end result is amazing and captures the essence of the band: More is more!
'Resident Evil' HD Review: There and Back Again
The beloved Resident Evil remake that first arrived on the GameCube in 2002 would not have been at the top of my list of games that need some attention — that spot is reserved for Resident Evil 2 — but that doesn't make it any less necessary. It benefits from a low bar, too, as a majority of the "HD remasters" we've seen during the last few years haven't been what I would call substantial.
Resident Evil 4, Code: Veronica X, Devil May Cry — Capcom clearly isn't afraid to gift their older games some much-needed attention, even if it rarely equates to much more than crisper visuals and a few new features.
Next up is the Resident Evil HD remaster, which releases tomorrow for PC, PS3, PS4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One. This is an important game, as its reception — that's critical and sales, but mostly sales — will likely help determine where the series goes next. So that leaves us with a very important question, and it's one I'll try and answer for you today.
Is this Jill Sandwich worth returning to for another nostalgic mouthful, or has the decade and change since its initial release left it stale?
The short answer to that question is a resounding yes. I've spent enough time with the game now to easily recommend it, even if that recommendation comes with a few caveats.
I can't imagine there are many people out there who aren't familiar with the Resident Evil storyline, but it's been awhile for all of us, so here goes…
In 1998, a squad of super cops called S.T.A.R.S. is sent to a mansion in the woods outside Raccoon City to investigate a string of brutal murders. They disappear, so another team is sent to find out what's going on. The rest of the S.T.A.R.S end up getting trapped in the mansion their comrades were meant to investigate, and that's where the game begins.
Among the surviving S.T.A.R.S. members are fan favorites Jill Valentine and Chris Redfield. Both are playable with their own unique stories and objectives. There was significant replay value in the original and that hasn't changed. Each campaign is lengthy, even if you don't spend as much time as I do obsessively managing inventories and seeking out every hidden item.
Much of that is old news, I'm sure. The story hasn't been changed, but almost everything else has. That includes the static environments, which have been vastly improved so scouring every inch of the Spencer Estate is that much easier. Anyone who played it on the GameCube first ought to appreciate what Capcom has done to update the game for a new audience.
The environments look ridiculously good, even for a remaster of a remake that released in 2002. There's a number of factors to thank for this, but the introduction of animated models and higher resolution images makes the biggest difference. It's been ages since I played the original version, but I think some substantial tweaks were also made to the lighting.
It sounds like such a small thing until you see bloom effects in a now 13 year-old game.
The remaster brings with it some new features, too. Widescreen support shows off more of those new-and-improved environments, but purists are free to stick with the standard option, if they wish. The display can even be switched in-game so no time or precious ink ribbons are wasted by those who wish to experiment.
To this day, the Resident Evil remake still has one of the best video game soundtracks I've ever heard. It's atmospheric, haunting and one of my personal favorites. This makes me a wee bit jealous of first-timers since they'll be able to hear it, possibly for the first time, in super high quality.
Also worth mentioning if you're planning on using this to pop your old school Resident Evil cherry is the addition of a slightly more modern control scheme. It's still decidedly Resident Evil, but choosing it will make getting around those labyrinthine halls a lot less frustrating.
Otherwise, the classic layout is still very much available and ready for veterans of the genre, and like the display mode, the control layout can be changed without having to leave the game.
There's not much in terms of brand new stuff, unless you count the addition of small things like Chris and Jill's costumes from Resident Evil 5, both of which are unlocked from the very beginning. Before you get disappointed, I'll remind you that this game wasalready jam-packed full of content that more than justifies its totally manageable $20 price tag.
This really is a stellar remaster. Saying it's one of the best doesn't mean a whole lot when you look at what we've had shoveled on us before, but I'll say it anyway because it's true. In a sea of remasters that were barely worth the modicum of effort that went into re-releasing them (Code: Veronica X HD) and others that simply didn't work (Silent Hill HD Collection), the Resident Evil remaster stands tall.
The last few years have taught me to look at every remaster we get with a wary eye and wonder if more effort could've been invested into them. Most of the time, they're really only worth it for fans of the series or for those who may have been looking for a reason to play a game they missed the first time around. Whichever group you fall under, this is worth checking out.
If you fell in love with this remake in 2002, get ready to fall for it all over again. I know I did.
The Final Word: Capcom has raised the bar for HD remasters with this necessary update of a beloved survival horror classic. Dig in, because this Jill Sandwich is itchy tasty.
New Image Teases 'Five Nights at Freddy's 3′
Earlier this month, indie developer Scott Cawthon confirmed the potentially imminent return of Freddy Fazbear and Friends with the very first teaser image for Five Nights at Freddy's 3, and now we have another. As far as I can tell, the latest image doesn't reveal much. In it, we see a box of animatronic parts resting beneath a giant 3. Pretty straightforward.
So are you planning on grabbing this, or will you do what so many other folks seem to be doing and just watch someone else play it?
The first two Five Nights at Freddy's recently took home an impressive five awards in our community-picked FEAR Awards, so there's clearly a lot of interest in a threequel, even if it might arrive only a few months after the second.
'H1Z1' Dev Offer Refunds Over 'Pay-to-Win' Accusations
The launch for zombie-themed survival sim H1Z1 has been a rough one. The game, which features players in an open world attempting to survive the zombie apocalypse, is a product of the team at Sony Online Entertainment, whose first foray into this specific genre type has been met with an overwhelming amount of hype. People want to see what a company with the heft of SOE would accomplish in the post-apocalypse.
The first casualty in the game's release were the servers, brought down by the normal issues that accompany almost every online-heavy game released in the last few years. The problem was exacerbated by the presence of the streaming community — some donning H1Z1 t-shirts — sitting around, utterly unable of making it into the game itself.
The team worked overnight to get the game stable, even though some major server issues were still occurring the next afternoon. (Note: I experienced long wait times but no real gameplay issues upon logging in to a server.)
Then, on Saturday, what will probably end up being deemed "AirDropGate" (or something similar) happened, creating further complications during the H1Z1 rollout. When it was revealed (mostly through Reddit) that the game featured in-game microtransactions above and beyond the purchase price, and gamers were furious. Reddit user Gravitasnotincluded posted a screencap of streamer awildwatermelonappears receiving loot from an airdrop, and the internet lost its collective mind.
This "pay-to-win" strategy, as some are calling it, contradicts an earlier statement by SOE's President John Smedley, who claimed players would not be able to spend money to beat the game:
"We will NOT be selling Guns, Ammo, Food, Water… i.e. That's kind of the whole game and it would suck in our opinion if we did that."
Refunds – if you are upset about the airdrop P2W issue and want a refund email firstname.lastname@example.com and we will take care of you
— John Smedley (@j_smedley) January 16, 2015
The furor over that contradiction became such an issue that SOE is now offering refunds over the debacle. There are very specific requirements to get your money back, and according to Smedley's Twitter feed, Steam is cooperating throughout the weekend. As of Sunday morning, Smedley claims via Twitter that ".5% of the people who have bought are taking us up on the refund."
.5% of the people that have bought are taking us up on the refund.
— John Smedley (@j_smedley) January 17, 2015
Smedley and SOE's Adam Clegg have also messaged that SOE will be changing the airdrops in a variety of ways to make them less of a sure thing. Rather than have users pay for definite, tangible guns and supplies in-game, they will pay for a sort of supplies opportunity. In other words, there might be weapons, ammo, and other items in the airdrop, or you might come up with bupkis.
Additionally, the airdrops will apparently draw attention to you or your party, which will further increase the tension in deciding whether or not to buy the potential lifeline.
Clegg himself goes on to explain the specific percentages in these airdrops in an impromptu post on the /r/H1Z1 subreddit. Judging from the new parameters, they appear to be far more restrictive than game-breaking in nature, and the team also claims to be figuring out other ways of making the airdrops challenging.
The issue is further complicated by the fact that Smedley has apparently mentioned microtransactions and used them in previous streams. There is also another Reddit post in which Smedley floats the idea to the community, which appears to be receptive to it, though the specifics are not totally detailed.
And, to be fair, it should be noted that H1Z1 is still in Early Access and that anyone worried about massive changes coming to the game should perhaps hold off on purchasing it until the game itself becomes more stable, if not finished.
However, the messaging regarding any sort of in-game monetization model has not been clear, which is partly to blame for the response from users. We will be covering the story as it develops.
'Resident Evil Revelations 2′ Delayed for Extra Polish
I've got some good news and some bad news. The bad news is Resident Evil Revelations 2 will be making its episodic debut a week later than originally planned — see revised release dates below — to allow for some additional fine-tuning. For consolation, I suggest you let the Resident Evil HD remaster therapize you when it arrives tomorrow.
The good news is the bad news wasn't all that bad, and we have some spooky monster footage, courtesy of the lovely folks at Capcom who only want the best for us.

Allardyce - Rovers are progressing
Sam Allardyce is confident Blackburn are on the up after Jason Roberts handed him victory on his return to Newcastle.It was the first time Allardyce had taken his team back to St James' Park since he was unceremoniously shown the door by the Magpies after just eight months in January 2008.But it was he who emerged with all three points thanks to Rovers' sixth successive victory over his former club after his game-plan worked to perfection in a 2-1 win.Allardyce said: "It was a fantastic victory for us, a really pleasing one for us all and one I think in the end, we deserved."It's our first back-to-back wins. We finished 10th in the Premier League last year and only won three games away from home."We have already won two now - we have won at Blackpool and we have won here - it's our first back-to-back wins of the season, which is far quicker than we did last season, so it shows we are progressing."

I live in Gilroy, so I suppose it was only a matter of time. I guess next I'll find out why I haven't seen anyone else do it, because I canNOT be the first one who thought about it... Besides,,, they put it in ice cream.... So, yes; I made a Citra Pale, and racked off a gallon... and put some garlic in it. The festival is in a few weeks, it'll just barely have time to settle up a little. We'll see. [as noted, I don't know that I expect it to be any good, so - being a chicken - I only made a gallon] What the hell. Charlie P lets out a recipe for beer with a dead chicken in it, how bad can mine be?
"It's my estimation that every man ever got a statue made of him was one kind of sommbitch or another." -Mal "Boy, it sure would be nice if we had some grenades, don't you think?" -Jayne
I could see roasted garlic being used in a dark or hoppy recipe. Some hops throw onion type flavors that some people don't mind. Keep us posted.
Ooh, roasted garlic would just dissolve in secondary... ... could just put it in the boil... Anyway, I got the idea last year when I was on the porch, enjoying a brew and the wind shifted and came in off the garlic fields. It hit my nose about the same time the beer hit my tongue and I thought to myself 'this could work'. I shall let you know if it really did. Hmm, roasted garlic in a dryish porter... *walks off, thinking*
Worst case, you have some shrimp steamin beer.
Been through Gilroy a couple times and even tried the garlic ice cream. Never thought of garlic beer. Let us know how it turns out!
I'm eager to hear how this goes.
"We don't sell Duff, we sell Fudd."
I've heard of garlic beer & seen it before. I'm too chicken to try it. if I didn't like it, it might ruin my taste for garlic.
There is a difference between pride and arrogance. Which do you hold in your heart?
I tried this it made a fantastic beer for cooking and made a great beer bread but all I could smell was garlic and it really over powered the beer Like you I just did a gallon

Janoris Jenkins back on Big Board
The Florida transfer makes his first appearance on the Big Board; Richardson moves up
Going into the 2010 season, Florida cornerback Janoris Jenkins was one of the top cover corners in college football and a guy I thought was a likely future first-round pick. He showed great instincts for the position and ideal quickness, and he also was a force in the return game. But after a brilliant sophomore year, he dipped some on my board last year with mixed play, then got himself in some trouble and needed a fresh start. He's since landed with Terry Bowden at North Alabama at the Division II level, and I'm pleased to see he's playing well and showing off the skill set that had him on my radar as far back as early in his freshman season in Gainesville.
Also jumping several spots is Bama's Trent Richardson, who looks as confident and powerful as I've ever seen him. He's the rare running back who might merit a pick safely inside the top 10 when he decides to head to the next level. Read on and let me know who you think should be higher. As always, juniors and draft-eligible sophomores are noted with an asterisk.
He's coming off another smooth performance in which he even made a great catch. He's the total package. Arm strength, size, smarts, demeanor. Not many deep throws this year so far, though.
Notched a sack after being stuck for a few weeks. He's on a good pace if you combine this year and last. He's a gifted pass-rusher suited to be a pure 4-3 defensive end at the next level.
Coming off a nice game; Kalil has the size, athleticism, footwork and bloodlines. He projects as a blindside tackle. Unfortunately, beyond him, the USC offensive line has looked really inexperienced so far this season.
Jones has been a big number producer, and I like the way he's battled in some tough games so far in 2011. He has good size and a strong arm and has improved his accuracy. Showcase game this week.
A better prospect than recent OSU star Dez Bryant. Versatile and explosive and really works to get open. Great ball skills; breaks tackles. Exceptional work ethic; just keeps getting better.

6 Money Saving Tips for Single Moms
written by
BillCutterz Money Saving Blog
As a single mom, you know that saving money is essential. Whether you�re trying to support your family by working three mediocre jobs or one high-paying job with long hours, chances are that you�re struggling in one way or another. Even if you have a great job, you may have trouble covering all your expenses plus the full-time childcare you use while you work.
You may feel like you�re too exhausted to even think about ways to save extra money. But consider this: when you save extra money, you may be able to cut back on your hours at work a little bit to spend more quality time with your kids � or to take a small breather for yourself. These six money-saving tips can help you find small and large ways to save as a single mom:
1. Make a budget, and stick to it
This is the number one most essential thing you must do for your family�s financial well-being. To make the most of your income, you need to create a zero-based budget, which means you have to account for every single dollar of your income, whether from your job(s), alimony, child support, or investments. When you use a budget to tell every dollar where to go, you�ll suddenly worry less about covering all your expenses. It may take a few months to work out the kinks in your budget, but the following five techniques will help you increase the likelihood you�ll stick to your budget.
2. Enlist as much help as you can
Too many single moms are afraid to ask for help, or are too proud to do so. It�s time to get over your fear and pride to find resources that can help you. If your income is very low, look into food stamps and other government assistance programs. (Remember: Those programs are there to help hard-working people like you get back on their feet.) Check out the Single Parents Alliance of America to find information on government programs as well as companies that give discounts to struggling single parents. And don�t forget to look inside your personal network for assistance, too, whether it�s a handy friend who will help with car and home maintenance in exchange for a home-cooked meal, or grandparents who will provide part-time care for your kids.
3. Make meals ahead of time
One excellent way to save money is to make meals from scratch. But when you�re a single mom working like crazy just to pay for food, this might seem like an impossible task. One great option is to set aside one weekend a month to make all your meals for the month. Sites like OnceAMonthMom.com have pre-planned, freezer-cooking menus that use affordable fresh ingredients for this task. So your family can eat healthy, affordable, made-from-scratch meals without you having to cook every day.
4. Team up with other moms
Look for single mom groups in your area, or team up with other single mom friends you already know. Rely on these women for support or start swaps to help each other out. For instance, your group of moms might run a childcare swap so that you can each have a Friday or Saturday evening off once a month. Or you can even team up with other moms to do your once-a-month freezer cooking, to carpool, or maybe even to start a sustainable business together.
5. Try to get out of debt
If may seem insurmountable to get out of debt if you�re living on a single-mom income, but being debt-free � or at least as debt-free as possible � is the absolute best way to make the most of your monthly income. Look into options like
credit card balance transfers
, which can help you save on minimum monthly payments so that you can put your extra funds toward paying down balances. Get rid of your expensive car for one that�s cheaper but still safe. Downsize your home to an apartment (which is easier to get out of in case of a faraway job opportunity or a financial emergency), or a small home with a smaller payment. Paying down debts and getting rid of monthly payments will free up your income for other things.
6. Look for extra income
Obviously one of the best ways to stay afloat financially is to make more money. Look into ways that you can do this from home with flexible hours, though, instead of just getting another job that will require you to pay for more daycare. Love scrapbooking? Create cards after the kids are in bed, and sell them online. Enjoy writing? Start picking up freelance writing gigs. Have a very marketable skill in tech or any other hot area? Consider offering consulting services to small businesses that have questions you could answer. You can earn a side income, if you get creative and work hard to get your business going.
Whether you�re
saving money on groceries
, finding a few extra bucks to put into a savings account, or teaming up with other moms to start a small business, you can find ways to succeed as a single mom. By being proactive about your financial situation now, you can get out of that hole and learn to love your life with your kids as a motivated single woman.

When Alice Waters recently appeared at Books & Books to tout her new book, The Art of Simple Food: Notes, Lessons, and Recipes from a Delicious Revolution, she was asked if there were any restaurants in Miami that seemed to be following her organic canon. The prophetess of slow food replied there was only one she knew of: Escopazzo.
Anyone who hasn't been to this popular South Beach eatery in a while would likely be surprised by that answer. After all, since opening on Washington Avenue in 1993, the restaurant's calling card has been creative Northern Italian cuisine. Husband/wife chef/owners Pino and Giancarla Bodoni garnered enough critical acclaim and devotees that in 1997 they expanded their quaint eatery from 35 to 90 seats. "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" is an axiom the couple apparently does not take seriously. In 2003 they revamped the menu, with a tighter focus on local organic ingredients; the bill of fare even included a raw soup du jour. Nowadays 100 percent of the restaurant's fruits, vegetables, and dairy products is organic; beef is grass-fed and hormone/antibiotic-free; raw selections have been increased; and its moniker has been expanded to Escopazzo Organic Italian Restaurant ("the first in America," according to the website).
The word escopazzo means "I am going crazy," but with increasing attention being paid to sourcing and integrity of ingredients, the idea of highlighting one's allegiance to such might be better translated as "crazy like a fox." The restaurant looks pretty much the same as always — rustic Italian featuring white-linen-draped tables and a mural of Italian landscapes painted by multitalented Giancarla. Framed articles and accolades line a narrow passage leading to a faux Tuscan courtyard in the rear, often used for private parties. Hundreds of bottles culled from Italy's wine regions are stored back there as well, in glass, temperature-controlled cases. Pino, an accredited sommelier and wine enthusiast, offers some old vintages from his personal collection plus a good number of midrange wines.
Except for the raw foods, the newer organic menu is indistinguishable in style from the old one. Those seeking classic Italian fare, albeit with contemporary touches, will find comfort in a starter of grilled, goat cheese-stuffed eggplant rolls atop a gentle sauté of baby calamari, sweet cherry tomatoes, and mint. Carpaccio of swordfish or smoked beef, or a main course of rosemary tagliatelle with Bolognese sauce, will likewise nullify concerns among conservative diners that the fare is somehow related to hippie health food. Italians, like most Europeans, have long relied on locally grown organic produce for their meals. They are not in the process of discovering artisan foods, but preserving them — Italy is the birthplace and headquarters for the worldwide slow-food movement.
On the other hand, some items are anything but traditional — like "lasagnetta," which you might mistake for meaning "little lasagna," but which apparently translates to "a little like lasagna if you have a fanciful imagination." If you have no such expectations, the dish is delicious and refreshingly light, with slices of milky bufala mozzarella loosely folded in sheets of egg noodles, topped with warmed grape tomatoes, and pooled in a thin herb sauce.
Giancarla and Pino are both experienced chefs, but the former has taken over cooking in recent years. Although not as high-profile as other toques, Ms. Bodoni is nonetheless one of Miami's more accomplished culinarians, and a pioneer in the movement toward well-sourced foods. Her adroit touch at matching ingredients and her ability to balance big flavors are displayed in a signature starter of silky asparagus flan floated in a creamy fondue of fontina and smoked provola cheeses, capped with crisp shiitake mushrooms, and misted with a whiff of white truffle oil.
Another longtime Escopazzo standard brings coral-color triangles of handmade ravioli plumped with butternut squash and amaretto. An earthy truffle cream sauce daintily dotted with finely diced vegetables cuts against the dulcet notes of the filling, but the dish is still more sweet than savory; might be better suited to split it as an appetizer. It is also pricey for a pasta ($29), but everything here is expensive. This could be related to recent University of Washington research that shows "good, healthy foods had soared in price over a two-year period, jumping by nearly 20 percent." One of the researchers, Adam Drewnowsky, concluded that "Eating well is really becoming unaffordable for many, even in the middle class."
Witness the pricing of Escopazzo's three pedigree meat entrées, which range from $45 to $58. There is no questioning the quality: A bulky, Barbera wine-braised beef short rib comes from cows humanely raised in Montana; the pan-seared veal chop in walnut and sage sauce comes from calves in Painted Hills Farm in Texas; and espresso-dusted pork tenderloin is American Kurobuta. The last was deliriously satisfying — juicy meat darkly crusted in coffee, tunneled with smoked scamorza cheese, and sauced with clean, glossy Madeira jus. Curious is that while other meat dishes come with a starch, the pork does not. More curious: Excepting tomato, eggplant, and mushrooms, plates here are virtually vegetable-free, and there is not a single sautéed green on the menu. So we went with an à la carte side of impeccably cooked risotto, which impressed with its stimulating balance of sweetly caramelized cubes of pear and pungent Taleggio cheese.
