Hello! i am new on this forum and i`ve joined it because i want to ask a simple question:) . Will Inuyasha will ever, ever, ever continue ?, plizz i need to know and if it will be continued could you share with me a realease date. I want to see more episodes of this amazing serial, its awesome, nothing else has lured me like this show did. if there are other topics like mine please dont be mad....Thank you. inuyasha ROCKS....
yeah you're right inuyasha is one pretty cool anime... it finished airing in japan years ago with i think more than 160 episodes (can't remember anymore the exact number lol... since i stopped watching ages ago)... well it certainly doesn't have a real ending/conclusion since the anime adaptation was based merely on the 1st 36 volumes of the manga.. and the manga has like around 55 volumes (the 56th will be released sometime in 2009 i think) which still wasn't completed by the time the anime stopped airing, so it's not pretty surprising for the anime to end hanging that way... but if you're asking about continuation of the series... well rumors have always been flying around about it... but i'm not sure if there really is concrete news that there really will be a continuation (though i'm not too sure about that either coz i'm pretty much not updated with inuyasha anymore, so that's only as far as i know... sorry 'bout that)... although some bits and pieces of the latter part of the mangas which were not included in the anime were shown a little in the IY movies... but if you really want the ending, better read the manga version though...oh and welcome to Manga by the way... nice to meet you! ^_^~Crescent"...beneath the truth lies a lie and behind lies hides the truth..."
There's 167 episodes and there was a OVA called the Black Tetsuigia that aired in Japan. So there might be a possibility of more episodes later on but we won't see 'em for a while :(
for my taste it could go on for ever ,its so cool but everythinghas an end lol XD manu
The path to conquest leaves nothing else to be desired!!!!

In 1900 Seymour Eaton edited a Shakespeare Rare Print Collection of which the U.C.B. Shakespeare Program owns the Connnoisseur Edition. These engravings were published for subscribers to The Eversley Shakespeare and Review of Reviews (Philadelphia: R.G. Kennedy & Co.). This collection reflected the then current subjects of interest to American enthusiasts and experts in the field of Shakespeare performance at the turn of the century: principally the historical identity of the actors themselves, not distictive interpretations of roles. Many of the pictures from the Collection that are omitted here are conventional sketches of historical buildings or scenes by German artists without specific relation to any performance. However, the remainder provide a retrospective over the contents of the previous Gallery 3 in terms of the American stage. Because of the uneven condition of the originals each image required individual processing to register legibly on this site.

Jack Dempsey/Associated Press file photo Broncos running back Willis McGahee will be down and out until mid-January after he was placed on injured reserve Wednesday.
Jack Dempsey/Associated Press file photo Broncos running back Willis McGahee will be down and out until mid-January after he was placed on injured reserve Wednesday.
ENGLEWOOD � The Denver Broncos will have to make a deep run in the playoffs to get Willis McGahee any more carries this season.
The Broncos put their 31-year-old running back on recallable injured reserve Wednesday, meaning he can return to practice after missing the final six regular-season games and play in a game after Jan. 18.
That would bring Denver up to the AFC title game.
McGahee tore the medical collateral ligament in his right knee Sunday when he was tackled low by San Diego cornerback Quentin Jammer.
Coach John Fox said McGahee won�t need surgery, but he decided to put him on IR to give the Broncos some roster flexibility.
McGahee will be replaced by rookie Ronnie Hillman, Lance Ball and former first-round pick Knowshon Moreno, who have combined for 297 yards and two touchdowns on 82 carries so far, when the AFC West-leading Broncos (7-3) visit the Kansas City Chiefs (1-9) on Sunday.
�We�re certainly going to miss Willis,� quarterback Peyton Manning said. �To say we�re not going to miss Willis would be not telling the truth because he�s that good of a player. ... So, Knowshon and Ronnie and Lance have to step up. Everybody else has to step their game up, too, when you�re missing one of your top players.�
McGahee ranks fifth among AFC rushers with 731 yards and a 4.4-yard average.
He also had 26 catches for 221 yards � just 10 yards shy of his career high set in 2007 in Baltimore � and his 33 career 100-yard games are more than any other active running back.
Denver�s offense is built around Manning�s pinpoint passing, but McGahee�s success despite a career-high five fumbles provided the Broncos with a toughness between the tackles and kept opponents from teeing off on Manning and his receivers.
�The good thing is all three guys have played plenty early in the year. So, they�re all familiar with the system, and they�ve all got to pick up their game,� offensive coordinator Mike McCoy said. �Every back, every player, has a different style. So, they�ll do their thing. We have all the confidence in the world those guys can do that.�
Of the three, Hillman has had the most work � 49 carries for 188 yards � but he�s a smaller, shiftier tailback in the mold of Darren Sproles and the Broncos will watch his workload closely.
�Willis has had the most game repetitions, but Lance and Knowshon are veteran players, and Ronnie�s probably had as much experience as any rookie running back right now,� Manning said. �Those guys will step up and do a good job.�
Ball and Moreno have more experience in pass protection, and that�s priority No. 1 for any running back in Denver, as evidenced by Ball�s beautiful blitz pickup last week when he slid from the left side to the right, sparing Manning a vicious hit and allowing him to throw a 20-yard touchdown pass to Eric Decker.
�That was a huge block,� said Manning, who expects those kinds of plays from whoever�s in the backfield with him.
Hillman said the prospect of carrying a larger load now means �you�ve got to protect Peyton a lot longer. I�ve been in there a lot, but if I do get an extended role, then it�s a little more pressure, being able to do everything right every play that I�m there.�
The Broncos could promote running back Jeremiah Johnson from their practice squad or sign a free agent.
On Tuesday, they worked out former Houston running back Steve Slaton, who rushed for 1,282 yards and caught 50 passes as a rookie in 2008 before injuries and inconsistency took hold.
Fox, however, indicated he wasn�t planning on adding another running back before Sunday�s game.
�For this week, I think we feel very comfortable with who we have,� Fox said.
�And that can change based on anything we might do, but I think it�s fair to say and pretty obvious that we�ll pull from the guys we have that know our system.�
Hillman was listed as a full participant at practice with a hamstring injury, but he told The Associated Press it wasn�t an issue and that he hadn�t aggravated the hamstring pull that set him back during training camp.

on May 3, 2013 - 11:34 PM
Feb. 23, 1920 – May 2, 2013
Elizabeth C. "Liz" Tower, a local philanthropist and artist whose work hangs in numerous museums and distinguished private collections, died Thursday in her East Aurora home. She was 93.
Born Elizabeth Clarke in Mount Vernon, she was the daughter of the late Emma Vought Clarke and Gilmore David Clarke, who was dean of Cornell University's College of Architecture.
She was raised in Pelham and educated at Cornell, where she received her degree in English and where she took several drawing courses.
She met her husband, Peter Tower, at Cornell and married him in August 1942 in Great Barrington, Mass. The couple moved to Youngstown the same year and lived there for more than 30 years.
They moved to Buffalo in 1972 and then to East Aurora in 1988.
In December 1990, Mrs. Tower and her husband co-founded and served as trustees of the Peter and Elizabeth C. Tower Foundation, a family foundation.
Mrs. Tower, over her lifetime, was "a voracious reader, avid gardener and environmentalist," according to family members.
"Most of all," they said, " 'Liz' was an artist."
Up until she lost her ability to see, Mrs. Tower painted, crafted collages and even jewelry out of objects she found, including bones and safety pins.
"Everything – from the extraordinary to the ordinary – informed her art," family members said.
She participated in many art shows across the region.
Besides her husband of 70 years, who, until his retirement, was president of C.J. Tower and Sons, Mrs. Tower is survived by two daughters, Mollie Tower Byrnes and Cynthia Tower Doyle.
A memorial service will be at 1 p.m. June 1 in Burchfield Penney Art Center, 1300 Elmwood Ave.

Hey, Has anyone heard anything about Manga's release of the Renewal version of the Evangelion movies? Last I checked, they still had the liscence for it. Plus, the original versions of the movies aren't included in the title section of manga.com. Come on, Manga. PLEASE release the Renewal edition of the Evangelion movies.
i agree with you they need to release that...I NEED IT."people do not need violence to solve there problems."
I'll have to check into it myself."Soon the ashe's of your past shall burn again."
According to Wikipedia:"Manga Entertainment has said it is "ironing out the contracts" to release the Renewal versions of Death & Rebirth and The End of Evangelion, hoping to have them out sometime in 2007." So where the hell are they? Seriously guys, this is Evangelion we're talking about here. The highest achievement of the Lilim culture. Why has it been 5 years since it's original release in Japan and you still haven't released a localized version of it? Evangelion is too important to be wasting time releasing other crap. Eva is priority. Get it out now. ADV would've had this out ages ago if it had the rights to it. I'm really disappointed in you guys.
wikipedia says rebuild will come out this winter. "You know what you have to admire? A Catholic hit man who blesses himself just before he strangles someone."-George Carlin
that would be cool
I am not always sure about wikipedia coz they earlier I was watching a tv show where the next episode was pending but wikipedia declare it. The best option is to get those from TV.com.
Evangelion 1.11 You Are (Not) Alone, and the second is released on the 20th June on dvd. The third and forth instalments are apparantly being released together (EVA WIKI).
Still a long way from the Live action though, 2015 is projected.

2012 has been a pretty good year for films, so it makes it especially difficult to try and give my annual best picks, especially since the Oscar candidates have yet to be rolled out. Nonetheless, I've got a long list and a short space to fill. So, without further ado, here are my favorite movies to date for 2012.
Director Richard Linklater's tale about Bernie Tiede, a beloved small-town mortician who, out of the goodness of his heart, happens to get entangled with the wrong rich bitch widow. The result: murder, mayhem and some really funny interviews with actual Texas Carthaginians about why they just loved Bernie. It's a true story. You can't make this stuff up.
This coming-of-age romance will charm the pants off of you and leave you prancing happily in your underwear. Sam and Suzy, two troubled adolescents, fall in love and run off together across a New England Island. Of course, the adults object because, well, that's what adults always do with their kids. With a full dose of savage wit, this film provides a sly but heartwarming take on the carefree side of romance.
Unlike any film you've ever seen, director Benh Zeitlin's debut explores life in a backwater Louisiana swamp town called the Bathtub after a Hurricane Katrina-type disaster strikes the coast. Six-year-old Hushpuppy steals the show as the feisty pint-sized girl who has to survive some hostile life lessons from her dying father and a herd of dangerous Aurochs. It's a lot for a little girl to handle, but Hushpuppy, she da man!
If you want to know what life is like for a teenage boy stranded on the ocean in a small dinghy for eight months with a full-grown Bengal tiger, now's your chance. Director Ang Lee's magnum opus, this is 3D as it should be used — built in as an integral part of a big epic. Lee's film is a rich story about love, loss and the yearning for God, all while facing down a large snarling tiger.
You've seen one slasher film, you've seen them all — except for this one, which has a mind-bending twist that elevates the knife-wielding genre to a whole new level. Director Drew Goddard and sci-fi whiz Joss Whedon team up to surprise you with a take on evil beyond evil, and the corporate gurus who control it.
When director Paul Thomas Anderson releases a film, you should pay close attention. If you're confused by the subject matter, go study the history of Scientology, 1950s-style revivalism, and a whole slew of high-profile, mind-control personalities who populated the American cultural scene in the 1940s and 1950s. Anderson successfully brings his powers of keen observation to bear on this subject. He also happens to hire a high-caliber cast, including Philip Seymour Hoffman and Joaquin Phoenix. Great film. Tricky subject. Study hard.
A Disney release of a Japanese anime film (in English) about a small family of "borrowers" who live secretly under a house. It's a different type of Disney film, a little more intense, a little more violent and dramatic, but beautiful to watch and so fetching you'll start to search through your cupboards hoping for signs of your own Clock family.

Tarvaris Jackson not only couldn't get on the field for the Buffalo Bills last year, he couldn't get a jersey to wear on game days.
New coach Doug Marrone, however, wants Jackson to compete with Ryan Fitzpatrick for the starting quarterback job.
The Bills re-signed Jackson to a one-year contract Thursday, and Marrone delivered his first insightful comment about how he intends to approach the Bills' most important position.
"I spoke with Ryan and Tarvaris and told them we will have an open competition at the quarterback position, similar to what we will do at all positions on our team heading into our offseason work," Marrone said in a statement distributed by the team. "I believe that our players will embrace this challenge. We are looking forward to working with our players as we prepare for the 2013 season."
Jackson, a healthy scratch for all 16 games last season, merely wanted the opportunity to show what he could do.
"Coming from my situation last year and not playing at all," Jackson said on a conference call, "getting a chance to compete is very important, it's about all you can ask for.
"It's going to be an open competition. Understanding how the NFL works, I know that whenever a new coach comes there's going to be a lot of positions that's up for competition."
The Bills ended 2012 with only one quarterback under contract. The incumbent, Ryan Fitzpatrick, hasn't had an honest competition since he replaced Trent Edwards in September 2010.
Fitzpatrick won't be insulated anymore.
The Bills need to bring at least four quarterbacks to training camp. The Bills signed free-agent Aaron Corp, who has no NFL experience, Thursday. They're almost certainly going to draft one in the first or second round in April.
"Somebody's got to go if that's the case," Jackson said, referring to him and Fitzpatrick competing against a high draft pick.
Jackson provides veteran depth with experience in a West Coast offense, which was the basis of Marrone's system at Syracuse University and previously with the New Orleans Saints, where Marrone was offensive coordinator.
Jackson has started 34 NFL games for the Minnesota Vikings and Seattle Seahawks.
He has a 17-17 record as a starter for mediocre teams. He has completed 59.4 percent of his passes with 38 touchdowns and 35 interceptions. He can be a running threat.
"We haven't really talked too much about the offense," Jackson said of conversations with Marrone. "But I'm a fan of college football. So I went back and watched some stuff on Syracuse and the stuff they were doing."
Jackson was the Seahawks' starter in 2011 but became extraneous after they signed free-agent quarterback Matt Flynn and drafted Russell Wilson.
The Bills acquired Jackson in a trade with the Seahawks prior to the final 2012 preseason game. The Bills gave up a 2013 seventh-round draft choice that could have become a sixth-rounder had Jackson dressed for at least six regular-season games.
Jackson played in that Bills exhibition game against the Detroit Lions, replacing Tyler Thigpen with 6:34 to play. Jackson attempted one pass, which was intercepted. Thigpen came back in to finish the game, and Jackson didn't play another down for the Bills in 2012.
Former Bills coach Chan Gailey often explained – with exasperation – that circumstances prevented Jackson from getting enough meaningful practice reps to learn the offense. Jackson instead ran the scout team in practice.
"I just try to learn something from every situation and be patient," Jackson said. "It was a tough year for me. I'd never been traded or been through a situation of moving across the country. That was a shock for me.
"It was a long process, but I would never say that I wasted a year."

"Warm Bodies" (PG-13): OK for high schoolers and some middle schoolers who can handle the zombified gore, "Warm Bodies" comes as an unexpected treat, successfully blending non-tragic bits of Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet" (including a nice balcony scene!) with a zombie saga and teen-friendly humor. The story (based on a novel by Isaac Marion) unravels a little in the second half, and resolves in a too-pat kind of way, but even so, it's a clever hybrid. Our narrator is "R" (Nicholas Hoult), a zombie teen in a red hoodie who can't remember his full human name. He hangs out in an airport with other zombies. He shuffles along, grunting, as words don't come easily. His pal is M (Rob Corddry), and they and others go out looking for humans to catch, and for their brains to eat. All the uninfected humans live in an urban area protected by a huge wall. Armed teams of young people venture outside for supplies and to kill any zombies who get in their way. The leader of this particular city is the grim-faced Grigio (John Malkovich). One day his daughter Julie (Teresa Palmer) goes out with a patrol and encounters R and his zombie cohort. There's a fight and her boyfriend (Dave Franco) dies. R feels a connection to Julie after eating her boyfriend's brain. He protects her from the other zombies, taking her back to the abandoned airplane he calls home. They become friends and gradually fall in love. R realizes that he and M and a lot of other zombies are slowly getting better – the disease is wearing off. Julie must make her dad understand.
The movie pushes the PG-13 envelope here and there, when Zombies get blown away gorily by humans, or kill humans and eat their brains. The skeletal creatures called "Bonies" also kill and eat other, fleshier zombies. The dialogue includes a little profanity, and there is mild sexual innuendo.
"Bullet to the Head" (R): Too violent for most teens under 17, this crime story (based on a French graphic novel) is narrated by Sylvester Stallone in a growling baritone, and it may interest over-17s who like their crime sagas in the hard-bitten, noirish vein. It's not great, but has a certain grungy style. Stallone – his much worked-on face almost a mask, his muscles bulging – plays James Bonomo, a Louisiana hit man whose honor code dictates "no women, no kids." As the film opens, he even saves a cop named Taylor Kwan (Sung Kang) by shooting his would-be killer dead just in time. Then, in flashback, Bonomo explains how it all "went down." When he and his partner (Jon Seda) killed some gangsters in a contract hit, Bonomo refused to kill a prostitute, who then became a witness. A rival gangster comes after them, kills his partner, and later threatens the life of Bonomo's daughter Lisa (Sarah Shahi), a tattoo artist. The cop Kwan has come to Louisiana to find the same gangster, who killed his partner, and that's how the honest cop and the hit man team up. Crooked cops, gangster developers and thugs abound, and the bullets and blood fly.
Point-blank shootings involve much blood and gore. Characters use cocaine and drink booze. Naked women wander through a high-roller's (Christian Slater) house party. An incredibly graphic autopsy scene shows a victim's entire thorax cut open. Bullets are pried out of wounds, and the wounds sewn up. The script includes strong profanity.

Standing amid tall weeds, Kathy Bell fretted about the condition of the overgrown, narrow dirt path to her North Charleston bus stop.
The possibility of encountering a snake in the brush worried her. The other option, walking on the edge of the road, seemed too dangerous.
She uses the roadside trail daily. Kids do too, some of them on the way to nearby Mary Ford Elementary School, she said.
"You've got a lot of people who walk down this road day and night," she said.
Bell's complaint reflects an ongoing struggle at the state Department of Transportation to manage the fourth-largest state-maintained highway system in the country in a time of dwindling resources.
The total maintenance budget for fiscal year 2014 is $281 million, a funding increase of 4 percent over last year. But the DOT says a cash infusion of $1.2 billion is needed to bring the state's existing road system up to par, and then $912 million annually would be required to maintain a "B" level of service, which is considered good.
Roadside mowing operations currently get a grade of "B," although maintenance overall gets a grade of "D," according to a DOT assessment.
The South Carolina Alliance to Fix Our Roads says a gas tax increase is the way to fund nearly $50 billion in road construction and repairs in the next 20 years. The state's 16-cents-a-gallon gas tax, which is the third-lowest in the country, hasn't gone up since 1987.
For Bell, the problem is much smaller. She is concerned about tall roadside grass on about 200 yards of Azalea Avenue near Cosgrove Avenue.
The grass was last cut in May, she said, and the DOT told her it can't be mowed again until next month. That is not good enough for her.
"It's an eyesore and it's dangerous," she said.
The situation reflects poorly on her nearby neighborhood, where yards are neatly mowed, she said.
"Why do we have to wait until August with the rains that are coming now?" she said.
James Law, spokesman for the DOT, said the weeds have sprouted quickly because of unusually wet weather.
"I don't think it's a mowing issue. I think it's just the rain that we've had. It's growing like crazy," he said.
Law said the DOT maintenance office told him the mowing was on schedule and it would be done sometime in August. He said further information on the issue was not available because the maintenance staff was focused on a sinkhole that recently opened on Interstate 26 near Ridgeville in the eastbound fast lane.
In late June, North Charleston City Council approved a three-year, $339,000 contract for landscape maintenance of Interstate 526 from Interstate 26 to the Ashley River.
The city considers that area important to its image, and it was unhappy with how the DOT maintained it, said city spokesman Ryan Johnson.
Mayor Keith Summey said people blame the city for the appearance of roadsides. The DOT reimburses the city $29 per acre for road landscaping. Summey said the payment is "ludicrous" because it is so low.
The issue of roadside mowing also has cropped up this summer in Marion and Horry counties. DOT officials said rainy weather had slowed or stalled the grass-cutting.
Last summer, a motorist complained in August about six-foot-tall weeds along a section of Interstate 526 in Mount Pleasant, a situation that he said did not reflect well on the community.
The DOT said the weeds got that high because the affected section of the interstate was being re-surfaced. The weeds were mowed not long after the complaint.
Residents who live down Azalea Avenue have to use a path surrounded by overgrown weeds and grass to get to Cosgrove Avenue and a sidewalk.×

5 Common Misconceptions That Destroy Computers
Look, not everyone is a computer genius. I know that. The computer guy who hates you knows that. I'm sure that when cars came out, the first generation of owners needed to have a working knowledge of the engine so they could fix it when it started flinging horse shit out of the radiator every 17 feet (I don't know how old cars work). Then as cars became more common, not everyone had the time or the skill for that, so "mechanic" became a viable job. But you still needed to know how to put air in the tires and gas in the tank, and how to get bloodstains out of the trunk.
Every tech monkey will tell you it's the same with computers. If you have a parent, grandparent, or child just getting into computers for the first time, do the world a favor and teach them these basic misconceptions before you end up getting the call to come over and clean the horse shit out of their processor (I assume processors work like old cars).
#5. "This Computer-Boosting Software Can't Be a Scam -- I Saw It on TV!"
Jupiterimages/Comstock/Getty Images
You know how you keep telling your mom that those pop-up virus scanners and late night TV commercials are scams? The ones that claim that they can make your computer faster and get rid of the evil plague of viruses that inhabit all computers at all times? You know, like this one:
And you know how, as many times as you've told her that these are scams, she just keeps falling for it over and over, telling you that she knows it's a legitimate program because it found things that were wrong with her computer and then fixed them for her? And how she believes that it's against the law for commercials to bold-faced lie to their potential customers? I need you to bring her to the computer right now and have her read the following message:
That program didn't find or fix jack shit. You're wrong, and the person who's been warning you about those programs is more right than you will ever be about any subject as long as you live. Listen to the person showing you this paragraph, because I cannot stress enough how incredibly right they are and how catastrophically, embarrassingly wrong you are.
Those programs are purposely designed to be deceitful -- to trick you into thinking that it discovered hundreds or even thousands of "infected" files on your system, all while pumping actual bad files into what could very well be a perfectly clean computer. The way they make their money is by tricking you into thinking you have problems, showing you a fake report loaded with lots of red text and X's ...
Via Arstechnica.com
"But I just bought the computer! How could- oooooohhh."
... and then charging you $40 ("Activate Your Software" in the above image) to "fix" the "problems."
One thing you are correct about, Mom, is that it is as illegal as a child fuck to practice deceptive advertising in this manner. And these sorts of companies have already built reputations as con artists and pieces of shit, and courts have already had to step in and shut down their advertisements, if only temporarily.
They will use any means necessary to get your money and personal information. The only reason they haven't broken into your house and directly stolen your purse is because they aren't just criminals ... they're lazy fuckheads who can't even bother getting their fat asses out of their own chairs in order to steal. No, your computer probably didn't have viruses. It had a dishonest program on it, choking the life out of your system. And you paid money for it.
Good rule of thumb: If the program starts with "My," it's probably a piece of shit scam.
"But," you'll interject ...
#4. "My Computer Is Slow. It Has to Be a Virus!"
The problem here is that people use the word "virus" to mean "bad program doing weird things to my computer," but there are some important distinctions to make, because they have different solutions. If you do have a nasty virus -- an actual virus -- there's an excellent chance you'll need to get help from a professional. But what you probably have is much easier to fix.
If I've fixed 500 computers in my life, I can count on one hand how many of them had an actual "virus." The rest were all malware, an overload of spyware, or a Trojan horse, all of which are much easier to remove.
Usually with a sort of chopping motion.
And yes, even you can do it, Grandma! I know I just made you afraid of free "fix my computer" software, but there are some that not only are safe to download, but are really must-haves: Spybot and Malwarebytes. Download, follow the instructions, and they'll give your computer a much-needed bullshit enema. There's a good chance your "virus" will flush right out, without having to bother any of your more tech-savvy friends.
"But I'm computer illiterate. What if I mess someth-"
Just run the goddamn fucking programs! It cannot be easier than how I've just made it for you. It's time to stop annoying your children or grandchildren and start learning this shit for yourself. I'm asking you to click a few buttons ... the same thing that some of you pay a "computer guy" hundreds of dollars to do. Once you click those, it really is as easy as just walking away while the scanners do their thing. When you come back later, you'll see another button that says something like "Fix this bullshit." Click that bitch, and you're done. Then the next time your younger "computer genius" relative comes over, you can say, "I learned how to fix the computer myself. I finally realized that you're just a dumbass who knows how to use Google. Your computer skills ain't shit, asshole. Get out of my house, you worthless fraud. You bring our family nothing but shame."
Jupiterimages/Photos.com/Getty Images
"Just ... don't even look at me. You make me sick."
Now, if you are unlucky enough to get an actual virus (which can do anything from hijacking your whole system to turning it into a useless brick), those can take some research and a little more than average skill, because some viruses can be particularly nasty. If that's the case, you may be forced to call your relative again and sweet talk your way past their previous memories of you being a condescending prick to them. And even then, you may be saying ...
#3. "It Can't Be a Virus -- I Have an Antivirus Program!"
Jupiterimages/Photos.com/Getty Images
There are several problems I've run into concerning antivirus programs over the years. The first is more of a user problem: They think that just because they have an antivirus, they cannot get a virus. I understand why some people would think this, especially newer users. Hell, the name of the program itself implies that it stops all threats. Every last one of them makes itself out to sound like a goddamn laser-guided military defense system, so why wouldn't people give it their trust?
The truth is that, yes, they are very good at protecting against viruses that already exist and are in their updated databases. But it is physically impossible to protect against all of them because there are viruses that exist right now that didn't exist when you started reading this article. They cannot just scan a download, spot a virus like a hidden gun in an airport X-ray machine, and pull it out of that program's butthole, making a champagne cork popping sound. Nor can it just "read the code," as one of my friends once put it, identify how it will act when installed, and then modify that code to remove the threat.
Comstock/Comstock/Getty Images
OK, settle down there, chief. It's not quite Minority Report just yet.
The second major problem I've found is that people have been led to believe that the best antivirus is one that you pay for. And I've found many cases where the person thought that the McAfee or Norton that came with their computer was the only option. When they find out that there are many free alternatives, they automatically think it's a scam, because nothing is free, right? And that's when irony spin kicks my dick clean off of my body and then picks it up and tries to fuck me with it.
The truth is, there are very few times when someone just randomly gets a virus or a Trojan out of the blue. It almost always comes from places like porn sites or ones that offer free programs like games, screen savers, and modification tools that turn your mouse into a kitten with hearts and rainbows shooting out of its asshole.
Just doing a basic Google Search on the program you're about to download will give you a pretty damn good heads up on whether it's legit or about to take a shit in your hard drive. For instance, you're trying to install Dick Flopwhip Penis Poker when the "Next" screen tells you that it will install a toolbar called MyWebSearch. Eh, it's just a toolbar, right? But just to be sure, you Google it:
When most (or all) of the results outside of the program's own website are nothing but people giving you instructions on how to unfuck your computer, it's probably best to just skip this one.

President Obama paid a second visit to storm-ravaged parts of New York City on Thursday and promised struggling residents they would not be forgotten.
As Democratic Sens. Kirsten Gillibrand and Chuck Schumer, Gov. Andrew Cuomo and New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg gave the President a tour of some of the hardest hit regions like the borough of Staten Island, Breezy Point and Far Rockaway, Queens, he hugged, comforted and offered words of encouragement and hope to the locals.
Especially poignant was his private visit with Glenda and Damien Moore, the parents of the two young boys age 2 and 4, who tragically lost their lives when they were swept away by the storm in Staten Island.
Meanwhile, as winter creeps up on us and the temperature dips, lawsuits are beginning to pile up against the power companies for their handling of the widespread outage. There are still 18,000 homes without electricity and heat, with 2,500 in Nassau County alone. Cuomo has repeatedly said that this was unacceptable and blames the utility companies for the long delay in restoring services to residents.
On Long Island, the CEO of the Long Island Power Authority (LIPA) Michael Hervey, announced late Wednesday that he will be stepping down by the end of the year and residents there are calling him "a coward" who is taking the easy way out. Mass protests ensued after weeks without power knocked out by Superstorm Sandy on Oct. 29, and fed-up residents are now talking lawsuits for all their losses during the blackouts. Class action suits tend to flourish in these kinds of disasters but unfortunately, most of the money goes to the tort lawyers.
Sandy's widespread destruction has highlighted another pressing problem rampant in certain parts of New York and New Jersey—poverty. More than half of residents in Far Rockaway, Queens and Coney Island Brooklyn, live in poverty and with many homes now completely destroyed; a large percentage without insurance. Recovery is going to be extremely difficult. One pastor in Far Rockaway, whose church is in shambles, uttered this simple plea on Wednesday: "We need help!"
Host Richard Rose on WLNY-TV brought up a hugely relevant point: FEMA will have to evaluate homes along the coastline and may have to impose tougher standards for flood maps and insurance. To afford such destruction, homes will have to be moved higher or sea walls built. Such restructuring will cost a pretty penny as well. There is no easy fix to the mountain of problems arising from this epic storm.
This brings up more concerns: storm relief. Though several charities have helped residents in need, like the Red Cross which has reportedly already donated over $117 million to Sandy, critics say this charity needs a second look at how funds are allocated. Ben Simolwitz of the Disaster Accountability Project told CNN Erin Burnett on Wednesday that the Red Cross spent a lot of its funds on overhead. Like the $500,000 salary for their CEO and $275,000 starting pay for their top executives.
However, Suzy DeFrancis, chief public affairs officer of the Red Cross, assured the host that the huge sums of money collected by the Red Cross over the years go mostly to victims and say that Sandy would be no different.
FEMA has approved a reported $1.5 billion so far for affected areas, with $600 million already distributed in aid. But Cuomo has said that NY needs about $30 billion in federal funds.
For federal help, go to FEMA Federal Emergency Management Agency.

People tend to forget that jazz was once a frightening thing.
Jazz was originally of places that straights and squares didn't go. It was illicit — feared and judged worthy of passing laws against. By the beginning of the '30s, dozens of communities across the nation had passed laws barring the performance of jazz in public dance halls. And yet at some point, jazz went from the frenetic trembling of the outcast to the slow, knowing nodding of the head — a universal symbol of agreement.
You get to a point in your life where you just want to hear beautiful music.
You get to a point where you want no flaw in your Matrix; the point at which you know what you want and you know what you like, and by God you are not going to pay a lot for this muffler.
There is, however one echo of jazz's status as outsider music: jazz heard literally from the outside. Outside the concert hall and heard while walking past and going down the block. It is a music that touches on the human desire to be part of something, a communal experience in all its grandeur. There is the sense that there is another kind of life happening somewhere near, life being savored and enjoyed, and it could all be yours if only a door were opened. And so it is that the doors of the Ventura Theater swing wide on this overcast Sunday afternoon, unveiling the jazz extravaganza of the Count Basie Orchestra at the 19th Ventura Music Festival.

Jazz should also be considered a story of survival.
All the old people here in the audience have survived as well. They have persevered, in their own ways, by hook or by crook, through war and loss and triumph and so the Count Basie Orchestra, now entering its eighth decade, becomes emblematic of that struggle to survive, a struggle that doubtless was fierce and full of peril, no matter how calm and polite the thought of jazz heard on a Sunday at 3 p.m. might outwardly seem.
The orchestra has not only survived but thrived, having taken jazz from terror to tradition, riding out those lean years as the public's tastes changed. Its musicians have carried the torch, in some cases for decades. The orchestra has survived on this steady latter-day diet of beauty — music as beautiful as anyone here can remember — and in that beauty it has found refuge. It is a refuge from the advent of the noise and fusion of Albert Ayler or Miles Davis' Bitches Brew, and transcendently, the death of Count Basie himself, a count more impervious to the passing of time than possibly even Dracula.
"We have what we like to think is the best rhythm section in the world," says director Dennis Mackrel, and there is enthusiastic applause at this, just before the band launches into Ernie Wilkins' "Kansas City Shout." He congratulates a 4-year-old girl in the audience for being so hip, just before the orchestra plays, suitably enough, "Li'l Darlin' " by Neal Hefti, he of TV's Batman theme. The musicians run through "Basie," a speedier song, as well as "One O'Clock Jump," a song they've been playing for more than 80 years. There's "Basie Power," again by Wilkins, with its sensation of fast travel and jazz flute, and onward to Frank Foster's "Shiny Stockings" and two Thad Jones compositions, "To You" and "From One to Another," coming on soft like martinis at twilight, slow-dancing in the promise of a lazy weekend with nothing at all to do. Carmen Bradford, the last singer signed by Basie to sing with the orchestra, takes the stage; and there is a measured pause before she announces, "I'm having a senior moment!" She promptly sings with great ebullience, among others, "Oh, What a Beautiful Morning," "All of Me" and "You Don't Know Me," gamely battling high-pitched feedback that threatens to derail the concert until it's brought under control.
Various critics lately are fond of writing off jazz as an antiquated, self-indulgent art form — one that no longer belongs in the now. The point of art is to defy the ravages of time so that the future will not forget those boundless struggles man undertook to reach eternity through his art. And that's rather the point, here and now. The Count Basie Orchestra belongs to forever.
Ventura Music Festival continues through May 11. For a schedule of performers and tickets, visit venturamusicfestival.org.

Jan. 2, 1976, was snowy, but the Bride and Groom were determined.
Even though the Bride lived an hour south from his house in Loveland, the Groom saddled up his trusty steed (his 1973 Ford Ranchero GT...red, it could only be red) and headed out in the snow to pick up his Bride for the nuptials they had planned that evening in Loveland.
A few hours later, they arrived at the Larimer County courthouse to get their marriage license and the Bride asked her Groom if he'd ever seen a civil wedding ceremony. No, he hadn't. Neither had she. They went straight back and had the Justice of the Peace marry them, strangers signing their marriage license.
The Minister at the church was a little flustered when they arrived for their wedding already married. He said he could just 'bless' the marriage, since it had already been performed. The Bride and Groom were OK with that!
So with family and friends present that evening, the Minister blessed the marriage performed hours earlier by the Justice of the Peace.
Nobody was terribly surprised that they'd done something like get married twice in one day - they'd certainly overcome enough hurdles to get to their wedding day. The war in Vietnam had demanded his service, other fleeting relationships muddied things a bit - but somehow, over a decade after they'd first met, they found their way back to each other and went ahead and got married twice that day, for good measure.
The remainder of the 70's brought two daughters and the death of the Bride's father, unexpectedly. The 80's were a challenge, too, with the unexpected deaths of the Groom's sister, father and mother. The loss of a job sent the Groom back to school and the Bride back to work full time...the Soldier now doing duty as student, carpool driver and Hair Braider for the ballerinas they were raising. The Bride supported and encouraged as he finished his education and got back to work.
The daughters grew, the Bride and Groom worked hard to balance it all and make it work. The 90's flew by and got the girls mostly off the payroll. The 2000's evened out and grand-babies were born. The house was downsized. Still, their commitment remains. The same stockings hang by the fireplace every Christmas. The same Grandfather clock chimes in the entryway. The Groom still drives his Bride around, though the Ranchero has long since been put out to pasture.
In a world where divorce is commonplace for lesser things than this Bride and Groom have experienced, their commitment is inspiring. They love each other with the kind of love that many of their daughter's friends didn't see. Pragmatic. Complex. Supportive. Reliable. Funny. Quirky. Understanding of each other. Often, their votes cancel each other out but they've long since given up debating about it. If she is Yin, he is Yang.
Sometimes they drive each other a little crazy, but they wouldn't have it any other way. He still sees his beautiful Bride whose blue eyes made his knees weak. She still sees the strapping soldier who swept her off her feet. And life goes on...
Happy Anniversary, Mom and Dad. You are loved and appreciated more than you'll ever know.
Allyson Zadeh is married with two children and one on the way. Read her Wednesdays on Greeley Moms.
They love each other with the kind of love that many of their daughter\'s friends didn\'t see.

In talking with those who know Gary M. Crosby, the new interim president and CEO of First Niagara Financial Group, an image of a familiar Hollywood movie banker begins to come together – and it looks a lot like George Bailey, the hometown hero of "It's a Wonderful Life."
Unlike the shifty financiers who propelled "Wall Street" (that's the movie with "Greed is good" as the catchphrase) and those who propelled an international financial meltdown in 2011's "Margin Call," Crosby has kept his feet planted solidly in the community where he grew up, went to school and has worked ever since.
That has been true since his time working in computer software, in a venture capital firm, in the Buffalo Public Schools and, most recently, as executive vice president and chief administrative and operations officer of First Niagara Financial Group.
Crosby, 59, now sits at the top of the banking company, at least temporarily. He was named interim CEO on Tuesday after First Niagara's board abruptly removed John R. Koelmel from the top job. The board also announced it will conduct a national search for a permanent successor to Koelmel.
Until then, those who know Crosby say the Buffalo-based banking company is in good hands.
"He's very committed to Buffalo, and it's always foremost in whatever he does – 'How do I make Buffalo better?' " said John D. Murray, former president and CEO of the YMCA Buffalo Niagara. Murray, who recently retired from the Y, worked often with Crosby after Crosby joined the nonprofit's board in 2000. Crosby later became chairman of the Y's board of directors, and in 2006 he was given the organization's highest honor for volunteers, its Gold Key Award.
"He could go anywhere in the world with the talent and abilities he has," Murray said, "but he has decided to stay here, work here and volunteer in the community here."
One of the decisions Crosby made was to take on the post of chief financial officer for the Buffalo schools in 2004, when the district's fiscal condition was so dire it threatened the whole system. A Canisius College graduate, he had already achieved success in business with more than one company: From 1999 to 2003, he was with Seed Capital Partners, a venture capital company, and before that, he was among the founders of ClientLogic Corp., where he was also chief financial and operating officer.
"He didn't need this job," said Barb Smith, who succeeded Crosby as the school system's chief financial officer in 2009. "He came here to make a difference and to leave the district in a better position than when he arrived."
And he achieved that, Smith said. She worked side by side with him for five years, and she has only good things to say. "He's very intelligent and highly ethical. I have a lot of respect for him – and a lot of people have a lot of respect for him."
Those people include members of Buffalo's Fiscal Stability Authority, such as Joseph Stefko, who is now president and CEO of CGR in Rochester. No matter what decisions are made at First Niagara, Stefko is confident Crosby will come out well.
"He's sharp, he's honest, and he's data-driven," Stefko said, making it clear he means that last quality as high praise. "He's a guy who is able to see both the forest and the trees, and to put it all together in a positive way."
Stefko agrees the school district and community-at-large benefited from the Crosby's skills.
"He's a deep thinker – a strategist – and he brings an unwavering commitment to Western New York and to making the region a better place for everyone," Stefko said.
That's true even when it may cost extra money, as happened when the school district made the decision in 2009 to keep open School 84, a troubled school serving disabled students. The building on the Erie County Medical Center campus was in disrepair, and state and local officials were at odds over what to do about it. But James Williams, then Buffalo Public Schools superintendent, and a group of dedicated parents found support from the district's finance officer.
Crosby, quoted in a Buffalo News story four years ago after the school's future was secure, said this about walking its run-down hallways: "It was an incredible experience. It was emotional. It was the happiest school in the district, and I walked away committed to making the reconstruction happen."
The bigger problems he faced – much like those facing First Niagara in the wake of some expensive expansions, led by the purchase of a million accounts from HSBC Bank USA in 2011 – required more pragmatic solutions.
In the schools, enrollment was plummeting in 2005, and the district was looking at laying off up to a quarter of its workforce.
At the time, Crosby urged the School Board to be realistic, while also acknowledging that other factors could change the picture dramatically. The words he spoke to the board's finance committee then could echo at the bank today.
"I don't ever want this district accused of being shortsighted," he said at the time. "What we need to do is hunker down the best we can and hold the line on spending everywhere."
Crosby returned to the private sector in 2009 when he become chief administrative officer at First Niagara, shortly before the company began its aggressive expansion. It was also a return for him to a bigger payday: Bloomberg BusinessWeek estimates that his total 2012 compensation was about $1,788,720, including salary and stock options.

The Easton Mako Shin Guards are the premier shin guards in the Easton Mako line. These top of the line shin guards provide superior protection and mobility for the highest level of play.
Easton continued with the Mako ideology that "Natural Movement = Mobility" by insuring maximum maneuverability. The best example of this is the amazing amount of flex found in the knee area. The hinge point is more natural than the average shin guard since it has been moved down a bit and the little force required to move it is incredible. Another advantage to this gained mobility is the gain in protection that comes with it.
The Mako shin guard utilizes key materials in key areas to provide that advanced level of protection needed at the the highest levels of play. The knee cap has three layers providing excellent mobility and protection; the outer layer of the knee is a durable layer of HDPE plastic, the middle layer is a fully perforated medium density and the final inner layer (part of the liner) has a small tab of high density foam insuring total coverage. The outer knee area is protected by a high density foam that is great for dispersing large amounts of energy (hard shots/slashes). The calf wrap is supported by an injected-plastic with high density foam covering the outer rear calf while medium density foam covers the inner rear calf. The liner is completely removable and has a grip texture on the lower part of the shin to insure a solid and secure grip.

- Perforated medium-density foam on the inner calf wrap

- Liner cradle helps sink in the shin while a large knee doughnut and a grip texture helps secure the knee

- Fit:
- Ergonomic shin allows for the shin and knee to sit quite deep and comfortably
- Shin guard shell is cut up at the bottom to maximize stride length without restriction
- Kneecap provides greater lateral support while locking the knee into proper position
- Tapeline just below the knee allowing the tape to rest evenly resulting in secure fit
- Tapered design helps to maximize mobility without sacrificing protection
- Two straps:
- 1.0" nylon strap under the back of the knee
- Wide tapered neoprene strap secures around the middle of the calf
- Weight: 635 grams (Based on a 14")
Comments: I purchased these shin guards after doing lots of review work and finally decided to commit to them. I put them on and they were comfortable (never played in them). I took the right one off to adjust the liner inside. As soon as I opened the back side to take it out, a rivet popped off on the right side right below the knee. If I didn't need them right now, I would have shipped them back. I do believe I was able to force the rivet back through and hopefully fix it !
From: Mitch, Dayton, OH
Comments: Best shin guard ever, took one to the side of the knee felt nothing. Extremely comfortable, love the strapping system, dry quickly, look sexy as hell.

On Sunday, January 4th, Rupert ended his run as Sir Frank Finger in It's Only a Play on Broadway. His final performance was in front of a standing room only crowd. At the end of the performance, he was presented with white roses from Matthew Broderick and was given big hugs by both him and Stockard Channing. Congratulations to Rupert for a successful run on Broadway, and we hope that we see more of him on the great white way in the future!
After the final performance, Rupert and his cast-mates headed to the Royalton hotel for a farewell party for Rupert, Megan Mullally and Nathan Lane, all of whom departed the play the same day. Rupert mingled and shared laughs with Nathan Lane, who had nothing but kind things to say about Rupert while promoting the play.
Rupert also participated in a BBC2 documentary celebrating Julie Walters, his Harry Potter and Driving Lessons co-star. Rupert had this to say while reminiscing about his time on set with Julie: "...having her there made it so much easier for me, because she put us all at ease. She was really kind of nurturing and a real mother figure to have on set."
You can watch the full interview below:
Finally, while still in New York, Rupert participated in Celebrity Tastemakers. Filming was completed at Bacchnal, a popular New York City restaurant. No word on when his episode is airing yet but the show airs on Sundays at 5:30pm on PIX 11 in the NYC area.

Q: I've been on many dates with a genuinely good man who doesn't have a car. He has a driver's license, but he firmly believes that walking, biking, or taking the bus is better for his health and the environment.
I've had to drive myself to every one of the dates, and while I don't mind driving so far, I'm afraid this will get old quickly. What if he expects me to do all of the driving if we ever get into a relationship? Is it fair that any road trips will be putting tons of miles on my car? I'm torn, because I do like the guy a lot. Should it be a deal breaker?
- V.S., North Buffalo
A: Well, if it's something that you feel will be an issue in the future, then yes, it's possibly a deal breaker. You have to decide whether you can respect his decision to not drive a car. While it's not impossible to have a relationship with someone who has limited transportation, it can be a hassle.
However, if you really like him, don't dismiss him just yet. Talk to him about your concerns and be honest before the relationship progresses any further or real feelings start to develop. There could also be underlying factors as to why he doesn't drive. It's possible he has a medical condition or a legal issue that is preventing him from driving and he's using fitness and the environment as an excuse to withhold this information. Keep this in mind as you talk to him.
If the two of you become exclusive and you find yourself driving him around all the time, you may want to talk about him helping with gas money, insurance costs and maintenance. If he's unwilling to contribute to the expenses or to compromise on this issue, you might be better off finding someone who drives.
Neighborhood watching
Q: A young couple moved in across the street this past year. A few months ago, I noticed the husband being dropped off at their home by another woman. In the last few weeks, I've seen the woman enter the house after the wife leaves for work; she always parks at the end of the street until the wife leaves. I have never seen any inappropriate behavior, but it's obvious that the husband doesn't want his wife to know about this woman. I am sickened by this, and I feel like the wife has a right to know what is going on. I have never introduced myself to this couple, and I'm not sure if it would be acceptable for me to go over there and let her know what I've been observing. What do you think?
- R.F., Snyder
A: I think you should mind your own business. It's never a good idea to interfere with a relationship or marriage, especially when you don't even know the couple. Your "observant" behavior comes across as incredibly nosy, and the wife is not likely to take your word for it, anyway. Cheating is a horrible thing, if that's what is going on, but it's often a symptom of a bigger problem in the relationship. You don't know the full story, so stay out of it.
I know it's hard to keep quiet about something like this, but it's not your place to butt in. If you would like to be neighborly, try bringing over a plate of cookies or something, introduce yourself and get to know them as a couple. And avoid snap judgments.

FOSTORIA - A Fostoria Intermediate Elementary School fourth-grader died at a hospital Saturday, two days after being struck by a truck on Columbus Avenue.
Sgt. Don Pratt of the Fremont post of State Highway Patrol said Mavin Hamilton, 9, of Fostoria, died Saturday from his injuries.
Superintendent Steven Pritts said the entire district is devastated by the loss.
Andrew Sprang, principal of Fostoria Intermediate Elementary School, said the district received word of Mavin's death Saturday afternoon. He described Mavin as a great kid who was well-liked and well-respected by his friends and always was around other children at school.
Mavin is going to be missed, he said.
Sprang said there was a lot of concern for Mavin in the building Friday. People told children to keep him in thoughts and prayers, he said.
"We just tried to keep things as normal as we could. ... You always hold out hope ... until you know," he said.
Sprang said officials are going to try to maintain a normal school environment but offer counseling services so students can express their feelings. A crisis response team will meet this morning, he said.
Counselors will be at Fostoria Intermediate Elementary School, Riley Elementary School, where Mavin's younger sister is a student, and other buildings where needed, Pritts said.
The accident Thursday evening that claimed Mavin's life occurred after he ran out from behind a building.
George Tucker, 74, of Fostoria, was driving a 2006 Dodge Dakota pick-up southeast-bound on Columbus Avenue when Mavin ran southwest-bound across Columbus Avenue, according to a release from State Highway Patrol.
