The Los Alamos Hilltopper boys and girls soccer teams will have their hands full today when they face an old rival.
Both Hilltopper teams will take on the Albuquerque Academy Chargers today. The Hilltopper boys will face the Chargers at 4:30 p.m. in Albuquerque, while the Hilltopper girls will host the Chargers at 6 p.m.
Unfortunately, neither Los Alamos team will be heading into today's game on a high note. Los Alamos' girls lost 2 of 3 contests at last week's Academy Invitational, while the boys dropped all three of their tournament contests.
Los Alamos' boys were swept at the Academy tournament, falling 1-0 to Sandia Prep in their consolation round game Friday against a very tough Sandia Prep squad, then losing 3-2 to the Oñate Knights in the seventh-place game Saturday morning.
Against Sandia Prep, the Sundevils' Ryan Hunter scored the lone goal of the game in the second half off an assist from Sam Albert.
In goal for Los Alamos, Chris Parker had five saves.
Against Oñate, Collin Stone picked up a goal for the Hilltoppers (4-5), as did Skylar Veenis, who also had a big goal for them against St. Michael's earlier last week.
Eric Schmalz was credited with his fifth assist of the season.
Saturday morning was an eventful one in many ways for the Los Alamos Hilltopper cross country teams.
The weather called a halt to the Hilltoppers' originally scheduled meet, the West Mesa Invitational, something Hilltopper coaches Rob and Kathy Hipwood were informed of at 5 a.m.
But by about 5:40 a.m., Los Alamos found another meet to run in.
Los Alamos ended up competing at the Academy for Technology and the Classics, which was hosting its own meet Saturday and did quite well there despite the last-minute change of venue.
Both Hilltopper teams placed first at the meet, which included 11 other full girls teams and 16 other full boys teams. The Hilltopper girls finished with just 29 team points, 51 points better than runner-up Sandia Prep, while the Hilltopper boys earned 48 points, a little more than half the total of St. Michael's in second place.
Individually, Colin Hemez was first overall in the boys race. Hemez, who finished a strong second in Los Alamos' season opener a week earlier at the University of New Mexico meet, finished in 17 minutes, 36 seconds.
He was one of two Hilltoppers to crack the top 10, with Mike Walker finishing seventh overall.
Matt Frye was the top finisher in the season-opening golf tournament for the Los Alamos Hilltoppers Monday.
Los Alamos' boys and girls hosted their home invitational at Los Alamos Golf Course with teams from around the area competing.
In addition to having their first tournament of the fall season, Monday was also the debut of new Los Alamos boys golf coach Andy Ainsworth, who takes over this season for Ann Stewart.
Frye finished the tournament shooting an 86, which was one shot better than teammate Jonnie Osden and two strokes better than Sean Rau.
The Hilltopper boys didn't earn any state qualifications in their opener — teams and individuals must hit target scores to earn "legs" toward state tournament entry. The Hilltopper team didn't make the state Class 4A postseason last year and only one individual, then-senior Raul Roybal, earned an invitation to May's championship.
Los Alamos' girls did make it to the state tournament, finishing seventh overall.
Monday, the Hilltopper girls finished with a team score of 413. They finished behind Bosque School, which finished with a tournament-best 354, with Sarah Greene shooting a 2-over 74 and Nicole Spence a 5-over 77 to pace all comers.

For more information, call the YMCA at 662-3100.
First, it seemed like the Los Alamos Hilltopper football team was finished. Then it seemed like the Hilltoppers had the game in the bag.
But when the final buzzer went off, it was the St. Pius X Sartans who had pulled off the improbable comeback to win.
Los Alamos, after being shut out for more than 45 minutes, scored a touchdown with 2:51 remaining and made a 2-point conversion – after a flag in the end zone gave it a second chance – to take its one and only lead of the ballgame Friday night against its bitter rival.
But St. Pius marched 67 yards down the field to set up a 19-yard field goal by Javier Jaramillo with 4.7 seconds left for the winning score, giving the Sartans a 10-8 victory at Sullivan Field.
It was a wacky final 4:10 of the game Friday, with Los Alamos moving the ball down the field for the first time in the entire game, culminating in a 50-yard completion down the right hash from Brice Van Etten to Tristen Hill to get the Hilltoppers to within one point of the Sartans.
Then on the ensuing 2-point try, St. Pius was flagged for a pass interference penalty, giving the Hilltoppers a second chance. Van Etten found Hill again on an out route to give the Hilltoppers an 8-7 lead.
But the drama was far from over.
The Los Alamos Hilltopper football team appeared to be done. Then it appeared to have St. Pius X on the ropes.
But a 19-yard field goal with 4 seconds left to play gave St. Pius' Sartans a 10-8 victory at Sullivan Field Friday.
Los Alamos, which trailed the entire second half, scored a touchdown and a 2-point conversion with 2:51 remaining - Brice Van Etten found Tristen Hill for a 50-yard score on a fourth-down play - but St. Pius drove 67 yards to the Los Alamos 2-yard line to set up the winning field goal.
Read more about the game in Sunday's Los Alamos Monitor.
The venues for today's boys and girls soccer games have been moved for the Albuquerque Academy Invitational in Albuquerque, Los Alamos High School announced this afternoon.
The Los Alamos-Sandia Prep boys game will be played at 2:30 p.m. at the Albuquerque Public Schools Field, while the Los-Alamos Oñate game will be at 5 p.m. at Highland High School.
Nukes finish second in Las Cruces
The Los Alamos Nukes rugby club finished second in a 7s tournament in Las Cruces during the weekend of Aug. 30.
The Nukes won a pair of games in the round robin tournament, topping Mayfield and Las Cruces, but fell twice to tournament winner El Paso, Texas.
On the weekend, Derek Selvage had five tries for the Nukes, while Mateo Cardiel had three tries and Clint Adams added a pair of tries. Also scoring for the Nukes were Cyrus Martin with one try and Diego Cardiel — who recently completed U.S. Army basic training at Fort Jackson, S.C. — had one try and several conversions on the weekend.
Los Alamos topped Mayfield 24-17 and Las Cruces 39-5. El Paso's Spartans, however, were the dominant force in the tournament, dropping Los Alamos 17-12 in their first meeting of the weekend and 14-5 in the tournament championship game.
The Nukes will return to action this January. Anyone interested in playing can contact coach Demetrio Cardiel at 505-250-8005.
Stephens picked to represent N.M. next summer
The Los Alamos Hilltopper boys soccer team was doubled-up in the first round of the Albuquerque Academy Invitational Thursday afternoon.
Los Alamos hung tough against a very strong opponent, the Las Cruces Bulldawgs, scoring an equalizing goal in the second half, but Las Cruces finished off the contest with a pair of unanswered goals to win 4-2 in Albuquerque.
The Academy Invitational, hosted by Academy's Chargers, is considered one of the toughest regular season tournaments in the state. Several top contenders from all over New Mexico are competing this year, as is usually the case with this tournament.
Los Alamos trailed 2-1 at the half Thursday, but tied the score in the second half.
However, the Bulldawgs (6-0), whom Hilltopper head coach Evan Gartz said is a legitimate threat for a Class 5A state title this season, made a key position switch in the second half, bringing fullback Nate Thompson up to the front.
Thompson took control of the game late, tallying what would be the game-winner, then following it up with a late insurance goal to seal the win for his team.
"He was very tough to stop, but we had some defensive lapses," Gartz said of Thompson. "He's really fast. He took it right at our guys, but it was our defensive breakdowns that let him get close to the goal."

By all accounts, Cathi Martin's return to the Pasco School Board this week was uneventful. Tuesday evening, she attended a regularly scheduled board meeting, chatted with journalists and audience members, asked a question or two during discussions and, most importantly, voted on pending issues as the representative from District 3 in southwest Pasco.
Less than 48 hours later, she attended the meeting of a committee overseeing the employee assistance program.
Such routine matters are worthy of attention because Martin, prior to Tuesday's public appearance, missed two board meetings, announced her resignation due to health reasons then changed her mind amid feverish political manipulations over a possible successor.
Tuesday, Martin released an April 16 letter to the governor rescinding her e-mailed March 12 resignation and offered an explanation for her more than two-year record of spotty attendance. She included a list of 12 surgical procedures, injuries and other ailments that she said were triggered by improperly administered medications.
She did not mention a flat tire, the initial reason she gave for spurring her March 3 absence from workshops, a board meeting and scheduled administrative appeal from a teacher recommended for firing. That no-show touched off deserved public criticism and a request from three state legislators asking Crist to remove her from office.
What is disappointing about Martin's return is the attempt to resurrect her ill-advised idea of telecommuting to board meetings and a suggestion others should have accommodated her frequent absences.
"I had suggested to our district and School Board members to try and come up with some type of telecommunications so I could be kept abreast of what was doing on in our district, but only to be turned down,'' Martin wrote to the governor. "I still believe something could have been arranged. I will work for this during my remaining term.''
Twice during extended absences, Martin floated the idea of attending meetings by telephone. But other board members, in November 2007, instead opted correctly for greater accountability. They clarified their own rules to say a member must be physically present to be considered part of a quorum.
Martin should put her attention elsewhere. District finances, potential budget cuts, staffing levels, curriculum and other concerns are worthy of her focus. The Pasco School District won't need new policies and rearranged communications equipment to cater to an absent board member if she just keeps coming to the meetings and properly doing the job voters entrusted to her.

News, Vision & Voice for the Advisory Community
A Franklin Templeton study extruded the hard truth from ax-wielders that would rather just say 'no thanks' as they administer the cut
December 4, 2012 — 5:41 AM UTC by Lisa Shidler
Brooke's Note: Companies do studies all the time but so often they ask the same questions, get the same answers and make it all seem like they're going through motions. This study from Franklin Templeton seemed willing to get after real truths even if it would be hard to chart them on a graph. But the end result is that the study was interesting to read and presumably useful to practitioners.
When it comes to choosing an RIA to manage a retirement account, plan sponsors aren't as interested in price — or slick sales — as advisors may think. In fact, a majority of plan sponsors say that price isn't even a factor. The reasons they choose to hire a firm has more do with the right "fit," which is along the lines of a popularity contest. See: Fidelity, Vanguard and Schwab have top 401(k) brands but plan sponsors like the service of off-brands better, study shows.
Last year, Franklin Templeton Investments hired an outside research firm Chatham Partners LLC in Waltham, Mass., to interview plan sponsors in the aftermath of an advisory search for their retirement plans. More than 70 advisors who were pitching accounts of at least $10 million in assets chose to participate in the analysis and some of them pitched more than one plan sponsor. Chatham's analysis of more than 100 plan sponsors whose plan assets totaled $6 billion began at midyear 2011. The firm wrapped up the analysis in the first quarter of this year. Chatham questioned all of the plan sponsors after they chose an advisor to manage their retirement plan to determine why an advisor won or lost the account.
To do this, the firm got the OK of the advisors ahead of time. Advisors explained to the plan sponsors that they would get interviewed after the process regardless if the advisor won or lost the account. Chatham interviewed the plan sponsors and then offered a report and transcripts to Franklin Templeton, which passed the information on to advisors. In addition, plan sponsors cited an advisor's experience as an important factor. One of the key factors plan sponsors also considered was referrals from colleagues.
Colorful transcripts
RIAs losing business to another firm often assume they were too pricey. But the analysis from Franklin Templeton shows that price isn't the most important factor. See: Fidelity, Vanguard and Schwab have top 401(k) brands but plan sponsors like the service of off-brands better, study shows.
The plan sponsors cited multiple factors that were important to them, but "personal fit" was cited by 60% and price came in second at 53%. The company published the Insights in a white paper dubbed, "Closing the Sale."
What constitutes "personal fit" is a bit murky, acknowledges Yaqub Ahmed, senior vice president and head of the investment-only division for Franklin Templeton Investments in the United States. Personal fit was among the categories that plan sponsors could choose from. Sometimes it boiled down to the fact that the employer wanted more attention from advisors in the courting process, showing that they'd listened to the plan sponsor's specific needs. See: Fast take on growth: Five tips on marketing and sales strategies that work amid fears of a double-dip.
"A lot of the final decision came down to actual conversations that happened between the advisor and plan sponsor," Ahmed says. "I read the transcripts of the interviews with employers, and there's a lot more color that takes place. While price seems to be a really important attribute upfront, it's not a major deciding factor."
Something we did?
For years, Mike Sanders, principal of Cammack LaRhette Consulting, an RIA in New York, says he always wondered why certain plan sponsors turned down his firm. So he jumped at this chance to get more insight. His firm had 20 deals analyzed by Chatham and the deals were significant in size — ranging from $50 million in assets to $1 billion. He said of the 20, his firm won about half and lost about half. His firm oversees mostly 403(b) retirement plans and has about $22 billion in assets under advisement. See: How giant advice provider Financial Engines can sweep the 401(k) field — or not.
Sanders' firm has always reached out to plan sponsors after every deal — win or lose. But when one is on the losing end it can feel a bit like asking someone why they broke up with you. He felt like the plan sponsors didn't want to be brutally honest. "Sometimes, they don't answer the calls and other times, they just said the competition was cheaper," he says. As it turns out, this study showed price was a factor in only about 20% of his firm's cases that were analyzed.
Popularity contest
Sanders said some of the reasons his firm didn't get chosen were beyond his control.
"I would say it was refreshing to get real feedback," Sanders says. "Sometimes, it would hurt your feelings. One time, they were upset we didn't bring one particular staffer and they felt like we gave them our "B" team. That was their perception. Sometimes, they felt a better connection with one company over another. It's good to know it wasn't just price. But if it's a popularity contest, I can't fix it if you thought someone was too geeky."
Sanders says there was one instance in which the lack of a brand name was a factor in his firm not being selected. "They wanted a firm like a Hewitt," he says. "In the 403(b) space, it is important to some of them because they've never done this before and they want to go with a firm they know." See: After IRS audits hit non-profits, RIAs are positioned to wrest a fortune in 403(b) assets from annuity companies.
In the weeds
Sanders says there were a few areas his firm could improve upon. For instance, he learned that in some cases, his firm was providing too much detail about certain investments. Sanders has since tweaked his firm's marketing materials to make sure the information is easy to understand and relevant.
Talking smack
Sanders says that through the post-mortem interviews with the plan sponsors, he discovered that his competitors were bad-mouthing his firm — often telling plan sponsors that it wasn't strong in a certain area. "We didn't know that competitors were speaking about us. You can't get as big as we are by not doing a good job."
Once he learned that pivotal information, his firm began to ramp up its own internal efforts in certain categories to address possible weaknesses that could be exploited by the competition.
"If the competition is going to be pointing out what they think are our weaknesses, then we'll be more proactive and show prospects how proficient we are in that area ahead of time, so it won't be a question," Sanders says.
He says it's a huge relief knowing the real reasons why his firm lost — even if some of those areas are out of its control.
"A lot of it we can't do anything about, but it feels so much better to know why," Sanders says. "At least now we know why we didn't make it to the next step."
Feel important
Ahmed says many advisors are like Sanders and want to know the truth about why they lost the business — even though it can be hard to hear. He feels many of the personality-fit issues that plan sponsors cited are really more about the RIA making the plan sponsor feel important, and that their concerns are being addressed.
For instance, if an employer tells a potential advisor they want help with regulatory issues or to ensure more participants are getting enrolled, it wants to make sure the advisor is addressing the issue in their sales pitch.See: DOL tells employers when they must fire advisors to 401(k) plans.
"Most plans are conducting a search because they have a specific need," Ahmed says. "Personal fit plays a role, because they want to make sure the advisor was listening to them. The plan sponsor wants to feel unique and special."
Ahmed says there were a number of times that certain phrases uttered by an advisor led a plan sponsor to feel that it wasn't being viewed as important.
"They're just like any other buyer, they want to feel special," he says.
Bulking up retirement
Providing this consultative approach was so popular to some advisors that Ahmed says his firm intends to offer it again this year through Chatham. Franklin Templeton is not a record keeper for retirement plans but is clearly angling to bulk up in this area. The firm's overall assets of $75 billion includes defined benefit and variable annuity assets.
Ahmed has made eight hires since late year in the investment-only sales and key-accounts team. The firm also launched a retirement center on its website in October.
Ahmed says he feels that plan sponsors were impressed when advisors explained to them that a consulting firm would be calling them after they made their decision to get additional insight. He says he feels that advisors appeared almost like a consulting firm.
"A lot of advisors are really great relationship people," he says. "In addition they may have excellent investment and retirement acumen but they need to ensure they do not miss the important business aspects. Providing consulting services brings institutional cache."

Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy
Review by DawnoftheGamers
"Jak and Daxter: A Legacy Born?"
Jak and Daxter, one of the first games I ever played, this one left an impression. In the beginning of the game you (Jak) and your awkward friend (Daxter) disobey a short green man (the Green Sage). You go to a creepy island, the very island you were told never to go to, Misty Island. There, Daxter is transformed by Dark Eco into a weird rat thing, apparently called an ottsel. From there the story expands greatly.
Gameplay 10/10
Although it has an arcade type feel to it, this aspect couldn't be better, literally. The controls used by most games on the ps2 are used in Jak and Daxter, 'X' is jump, 'square' is punch, etc. There are no loading scenes when progressing from one area to the next, there are no glitchy parts, I'm not saying there are no glitches, because there are, but there are no areas that freeze up, or get choppy. The game doesn't get too boring while exploring since there are monsters everywhere, but the monsters are all the same, which makes it get boring somewhat quickly anyway.
Story 8/10
Few stories are executed so well, in the beginning, your friend falls into dark eco and turns into an ottsel, the rest of the game is spent changing him back. Along the way, however, you get tied up in a relationship with a young girl and a plot to destroy life as it's known to remake everything. You ultimately find yourself saving the world, somehow...
Graphics 8/10
These graphics are okay, nothing too significant.
Sound 6/10
The music was common, most games with this sort of arcade feeling have music similar to it. The voices always match the characters lips, the punch and kick sounds match the actions, and the grunts the enemies make when attacking match their motions as well.
Play time 2/10
I tend to enjoy longer games better, this one was four hours long, if played by a new gamer. This was what most drastically affected my overall rating for the game.
Replayability 6/10
The first time is awesome, the times after that is so you can see if you can beat your previous score, that arcade feel definitely exists after the first play-through. The reason I gave this aspect a six is because there are no new surprises the next time through, the first time is when you find out everything. Although, the game could be stretched out indefinitely without getting all the power cells.
Final Recommendation
This is an awesome game, its story should not be missed by any gamer interested in adventure games. I suggest that you buy it and play it, then keep it. Keep it, because if you don't collect all the power cells the first time, you WILL want to play it again to try and get them all.
However, this game has little to do with its sequels, and so its title is a little misleading. There was no legacy, it ended here.
Reviewer's Rating: 3.5 - Good

Sundance is about new talent and small, personal films. Cannes is about highbrow cinema and celebrity-watching.
The Toronto International Film Festival is about movies, from splashy studio releases and potential Oscar contenders to obscure foreign flicks and the latest avant-garde experiments.
North America's largest cinema showcase, the Toronto festival opens Thursday with a lineup that includes the Coen brothers' dark spy comedy "Burn After Reading" with George Clooney and Brad Pitt; Keira Knightley's historical saga "The Duchess"; Edward Norton and Colin Farrell's cop drama "Pride and Glory"; and the supernatural romantic comedy "Ghost Town," with Ricky Gervais, Tea Leoni and Greg Kinnear.
While the Cannes and Sundance festivals cater more to industry crowds and entertainment reporters, Toronto plays out in theaters throughout the city, with everyday movie-lovers making up a large part of the audience.
"This is very much a festival designed for the public," said Piers Handling, festival director. "It's a very broad, inclusive audience and very wide-ranging in terms of the films, from the small, tiny experimental films through to edgier films through comedies and through to major studio films."
Spike Lee said he got a stirring reception at Toronto two years ago with his Hurricane Katrina documentary, "When the Levees Broke." He hopes for the same this time with the World War II drama "Miracle at St. Anna," which plays Toronto in advance of its Sept. 26 theatrical release.
"The people in Toronto really appreciate films," Lee said. "Toronto's a great vehicle, a great launchpad for the film to come out in the fall."
Among other Toronto titles: The Iraq War homecoming drama "The Lucky Ones," with Tim Robbins, Rachel McAdams and Michael Pena; the journalism tale "Nothing but the Truth," starring Kate Beckinsale in a story inspired by the Valerie Plame case; "Rachel Getting Married," with Anne Hathaway as an addict on leave from rehab for her sister's wedding; the adultery drama "The Other Man," with Liam Neeson, Laura Linney and Antonio Banderas; and the Paris Hilton documentary "Paris, Not France," the directing debut of Adria Petty, Tom Petty's daughter.
With hundreds of critics and reporters on hand, the festival is a prime spot for filmmakers to get the word out about movies that lack a big studio marketing campaign, said Ed Harris, whose directing debut, "Pollock," played at Toronto in 2000, the film going on to win the supporting-actress Oscar for Marcia Gay Harden.
Harris returns this time with the Western "Appaloosa, " which he co-wrote and directed. Featuring Harris, Viggo Mortensen and Renee Zellweger, "Appaloosa" opens in theaters Sept. 19 after premiering in Toronto.
"There's tons of press there," Harris said. "I'll pretty much do whatever I can to help build awareness that this film is out there."
Begun in the 1970s to promote Canadian film, the festival continues to showcase homegrown works, including Thursday's opening-night premiere, the World War I saga "Passchendaele," directed by Paul Gross, who also stars.
Inspired by stories the filmmaker's grandfather shared about his experiences in the war, "Passchendaele" has an unusually large scope for a Canadian-financed film, whose budgets tend to top out at about $8 million, said Gross, who starred as a Canadian Mountie in the 1990s TV show "Due South" and as a theater director in the acclaimed series "Slings and Arrows."
Gross managed to raise $20 million for his production, which centers on a wounded sergeant who falls in love with a nurse, then becomes protector of her younger brother when the youth is shipped to the trenches.
"I think the film is large enough to hold the hall," Gross said of Toronto's cavernous Roy Thomson Hall, where the festival holds its main premieres. "I am looking forward to seeing it on a screen that big. I don't think I'll ever see it on a screen that huge again."
Films good and bad tend to draw cheers from Toronto audiences, who seem genuinely thrilled to catch movies before they land in theaters.
"I love Sundance and I always will, and Sundance gave me a career. But you still have cineastes at Sundance who will turn their nose up," said Kevin Smith, whose debut, "Clerks," was a Sundance sensation and who heads to Toronto with his comedy "Zack and Miri Make a Porno," starring Seth Rogen and Elizabeth Banks.
"In Toronto, nobody turns their nose up at almost anything. I'm going to say this, and then we're going to tank, but if you tank in Toronto, then something's seriously wrong with that movie," Smith said.
"The thing they always say about Toronto is you have to take off about 20 percent of the audience reaction, because it's so effusive. But I'd rather go see it with an overly effusive audience. As a filmmaker, that's an awesome thing, where it's like, everybody loves it."

Ed Helms' next comedy
Ed Helms: Everybody got enough oxygen?
CraveOnline: I am getting winded. Have you been winded?
Ed Helms: Yes, I'm very winded.
CraveOnline: Doing basic tasks like tying your shoes?
Ed Helms: Yes, interviewing, I'm already out of breath.
CraveOnline: How did it feel to go on after the
Ed Helms: You know, I just caught the slightest wind of that because Stephen Root was in that movie and then he was at our premiere. He mentioned it but I didn't know anything about it. I don't even know what that movie is about so I don't know what the protests are about. I don't much care for protesting artistic endeavors in general so I don't have a whole lot of sympathy for it but people will do whatever they want.
CraveOnline: How great was it to have a love scene with Ripley?
Ed Helms: Dream come true. I mean, what American male has not had a crush on Ripley at some point?
CraveOnline: You say Sundance is exhausting. How exhausting was
Ed Helms: Thailand was brutal. It is a beautiful, majestic place to visit and I think if you go with your tourist hat on, you're kind of excited and ready to take on all these cultural differences and you're kind of prepared for being unfamiliar with everything. But if you go there with the intention of working hard for two months, suddenly all the unfamiliarity is just totally disconcerting and incredibly taxing. To be kind of thrust into that with this little core group of guys with a lot of very aggressive male energy, it was intense and at times scary, a lot of emotional highs and lows and insanely fun. I think we all came back a little shell shocked. It's funny, Todd said something a week after we got back, I was talking to him on the phone. Todd Phillips, the director, goes, "I feel like no one understands what we've been through. We're home now and we're interacting with our friend and family and we can tell people what it was like but you can't really know. No one can really know.
CraveOnline: Will you have post traumatic stress when you see the finished film?
Ed Helms: I don't know. It might. It is something that I think collectively was just a very intense experience for all of us. I think when you see the film you'll just instantly understand why. Even when you see the trailer, I think some of the imagery that we captured because of the places that we were and the places that we committed to going, it's intense and is a whole new level.
CraveOnline: What's the feeling on the set of The Office as you approach Steve Carell's departure?
Ed Helms: It's kind of a giant sigh, "Thank God, finally." No, there's a lot of excitement on the set about what's next. It's not clear to anybody what is next. What I like is that it doesn't appear that the writers and producers are going to just answer the question quickly. It'll be explored. It'll roll out over I think a lot of episodes and different characters competing for Michael's job, maybe Michael's job changing shape in some way, maybe looking at other possibilities. It's sort of the greatest opportunity for storytelling. It's one of the most fun stories that we've had an opportunity to tell on the show. It's one of the biggest. They're going to milk it and it's going to play out.

Candy-Off: Hershey's vs. Brach's Candy Corn
Candy-Off: Hershey's vs. Brach's Candy Corn
Happy National Candy Corn Day! This Halloween, grocery aisles have been stocked with two distinct types of my favorite seasonal candy: the traditional version made by Brach's, as well as a newer Hershey's rendition.
Last year, when I first tried the Hershey's candy corn, I thought it had a cloying aftertaste, and despite giving them a second chance, I still didn't care for them. Just to make sure I was giving the candy a fair assessment, I sought out some other Sugar gals for a second opinion. To see what they had to say,
- "Candy corn is not allowed to have a wrapper!"
- "Hershey's tastes more artificial, if that's possible."
- "The candy corn lost something in the texture . . . just not right!"
While both are overly sweet, the Hershey's Kisses version lacks the wonderfully waxy, granulated texture that makes candy corn so addictive. Instead, it has the creaminess of white chocolate and a rich, butterscotch-y aroma. Many of us agreed that had Hershey's simply not labeled it candy corn, we would have preferred it.
The bottom line? When something is labeled as candy corn, there are expectations in taste. Candy corn may taste plastic-y, but an artificial rendition of it tastes even worse. There's one attribute, however, that both share in common: too much of either, and you'll be left with a belly ache.

Can anyone give me any information about this? We received this from an elderly friend and would like to know more about it. You sit on it and holding the handle turn the large wheel which then causes the two smaller wheels to turn. There is a metal funnel at the side with an opened bottom that would have allowed something to go into/through it. Thanks in advance for any information!

The trend of throwing parties and events for publicity proves to be very beneficial for the corporations. Therefore they try to arrange 3 sided table tents to support their functions. The advantages of using these types of tents are plenty. First of all, they are very cheap to get printed and yet the publicity they cause is tremendous. Secondly, they are very attention grabbing and therefore one can utilize this aspect of these tents.

|A nice climb. Each pitch is very different from the next. The first pitch has a thoughtful, well protected roof. The second pitch has a couple of thin face moves protected by a shiny new bolt. The third pitch is a fun jug haul up a v shaped chimney thing. I did get lost on P2, ended up building an anchor just below the chimney.

|A nice climb. I didn't like the first pitch; there is a huge loose block under the roof and the protection isn't as good as you think. As for P2, as soon as you climb the bulge (crux with bolt), start moving right and you should see the fixed pieces (2 old pins + couple of other pieces). P3 is fun climbing.

|We did this for the first time last weekend and it was great. Most climbs were either wet from the rainstorm the previous night, or had people on them, so we decided to give this one a shot. The second belay station, consisting of two pins and a tricam, would have required traversing way out right so I just climbed straight up a bit more and set a belay a little higher. If you do a good job at placing runners, you could probably just climb straight to the GT ledge from the first belay and skip the second belay all together. You'd want a long runner on the bolt if you were going to do that. The third pitch was pretty wet, but fun nonetheless.

|The second belay station is junk. The pins are ancient, and the other fixed pro came out too easily. Best to pass it by, and certainly don't rap on it.

DEFEATED Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney has arrived at the White House for a private lunch with the man who dashed his political dreams, President Barack Obama.
Romney drove up to the side entrance of the West Wing in the passenger seat of a large black Lincoln car and - now stripped of his Secret Service detail - opened the door himself before walking into the building on Thursday.
The rivals were to meet in Obama's private dining room off the Oval Office, in their first meeting since the election on November 6, which capped a bitter campaign filled with personal attacks.
The encounter will likely be a testing personal moment for the former Massachusetts governor, who was convinced even on election day that he would be the 45th US president, but was outwitted by Obama's political machine.
Neither Romney nor Obama appeared to have any warmth or even great respect for one another in a campaign which flared into open dislike during their contentious three presidential debates last month.
"Elections are serious business, and they tend to represent a clash of ideas, and they're hard-fought and certainly no different this time than it has been in every election," White House spokesman Jay Carney said on Wednesday.
The president has in the past appeared magnanimous to former foes, notably when he asked Hillary Clinton -- whom he defeated in a Democratic primary - to join his "team of rivals" first-term cabinet as secretary of state.
It is unclear whether the meeting is just for appearances' sake as he seeks to heal political wounds of a divisive election or if he has any specific task in mind for Romney and, if he did, whether the Republican would accept.
Obama said in his first post-election press conference earlier this month that he hoped to work with Romney on some issues.
Romney, however, was less conciliatory as he digested the fierce disappointment of losing the presidential election on November 6.

pros: i had a lift and implants, from sagging hanging breasts to a D cup.
cons: i am 5'1" and weigh 130 lbs. i paid for a full C cup but in the end they have remained D's. i had them implanted around my nipples. horrible scaring all the way around nipples now. i also cant find shirts and dresses that fit me properly. size 5-7 jeans and XL-2x tops. looks crazy.
i paid for C's! i told the surgeon and he said if i paid anesthsia (spelling?) fees he would redo them. i will opt to get them smaller but for now i am dealing with it. i have had them for 7yrs. the price listed was for tummy tuck and breast lift and impants.
when i have the D's removed and smaller C's put in could my scar around nipples get better? and areola smaller? and does the amount of breat tissue you already have make the end result bigger?

Exciting news today for Elder Scrolls fans. On September 10th (and September 13th in Europe), we'll be releasing The Elder Scrolls Anthology on PC. This premium box set (shown above) includes all five main games from the series – Arena, Daggerfall, Morrowind, Oblivion, and Skyrim – as well all the official add-ons and expansions for Morrowind, Oblivion, and Skyrim.
To help you explore the expansive world of Tamriel, the Anthology also features a set of five physical maps detailing the lands of Tamriel, Iliac Bay, Morrowind, Cyrodiil and Skyrim.
In case you haven't been with us since 1994, here's a recap of all five titles that will be included in the $79.99 package (€59.99 / £49.99 / $89.99AUD)
Arena – Assume the role of a lone prisoner and travel to Tamriel's most famous and dangerous sites to collect the shattered Staff of Chaos and save the Empire from the evil Imperial battlemage, Jagar Tharn. The Anthology features the original version of Arena and will launch within a DOS emulator.
Daggerfall – The ancient golem Numidium, a powerful weapon once used to unify Tamriel has once again been unearthed. In the power struggle that follows, the King of Daggerfall is murdered and his vengeful spirit haunts the kingdom. The Emperor Uriel Septim VII sends you on a heroic path to put the king's spirit to rest and ensure that the golem does not fall into the wrong hands. The Anthology features the original version of Daggerfall and will launch within a DOS emulator.
Morrowind – To fulfill an ancient prophecy, the Emperor sends you, an unknown Imperial courier, to the island of Vvardenfell to rid the land of Morrowind of a dark curse. Through a series of dangerous and magical quests, you are transformed into one of the Empire's most enduring heroes. Also includes: Tribunal and Bloodmoon add-ons, plus The Elder Scrolls Construction Set.
Oblivion – With the Empire ready to crumble, the gates of Oblivion open and demons march upon the land. In the shadow of evil, a hero will rise from the ashes of a fallen Empire. You must find the true heir of the Septim line and restore him to the Imperial throne, while unraveling the sinister plot that threatens to destroy all of Tamriel. Also includes: Knights of the Nine and Shivering Isles expansions.
Skyrim – Dragons, long lost to the passages of the Elder Scrolls, have returned to Tamriel. The future of Skyrim, even the Empire itself, hangs in the balance as they wait for the prophesized Dragonborn to come; a hero born with the power of The Voice, and the only one who can stand amongst the dragons. Also includes: Dawnguard, Hearthfire, and Dragonborn add-ons.
Wanna see more? Check out our slideshow below featuring additional images from the collection.
What versions of the games are included with Anthology?
The Elder Scrolls Anthology is the same content you would get if you purchased the boxed version of each game.
As a bonus, the included Steam key will activate Steam versions of Morrowind GOTY and Oblivion GOTY Deluxe. Like the disc release of Oblivion, the deluxe versions include the main game, Knights of the Nine, and Shivering Isles, but it also adds English versions of the Wizard's Tower, Fighter's Stronghold, Orrery, Thives' Den, The Vile Lair, Mehrunes' Razor, and Horse Armor. These add-ons are not compatible with the disc version of the game, so you will need to use the Steam version to access them.
This summer, Amazon UK kicked off a fan vote to determine "the generation's greatest game". We're excited to see that two BGS games, Skyrim and Fallout 3, made the tournament… and that Skyrim was voted as the overall winner.
Up against some of our favorite games, it's an honor to see Skyrim come out on top. To everyone that voted, thanks for your support.
In preparation for next week's release of The Brigmore Witches, a new title update has been release on Steam, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3. Details below:

text: Can anyone tell me something about this rifle? The outside of the barrel is octagonal for about 18 inches then goes to round. The bore is at least 75 cal. The bore is a hex with each flat haveing in its center a half round groove of about 1/8 inch. The barrel is marked P GOOD. I found it at a flea market, the owner said it was British. Since I'm not a gunsmith I can't say it was poorly made but it was at least a very plain rifle. He wanted $400 for it. I passed.

Thread: Thru Hull Fitting Advice
Threaded View
Thru Hull Fitting Advice
I have a few questions about buying thru hull fittings for the boat and installing them. I did take a quick look to make sure that I'm not replicating another thread but there is so much info on here that I'm sure I am.
First off is there a thread that walks you through the process of drilling into the bottom of the boat and sealing the holes with 3M glue. I would really like a picture by picture walk through because honestly I am really nervous about adding these into the bottom of a perfectly good waterproof boat. I am adding 4 Johnson reversible pumps and ripping out all the 3/4 inch line for the fill and empty but the part I'm most nervous about is the drilling through the bottom of the boat part.
1. Do you use a regular hole saw, if so what size for a 1 inch fitting.
2. Should I be buying 1 inch or 1 1/8 fittings? If 1 1/8 what size hole saw do I need?
3. I understand that you run the hole saw in reverse first but there is always a certain amount of wobble in the hole saws is that going to be an issue? Do they make a diamond type hole saw and would that be better?
4. I am planning on leaving the vents 3/4 inch, does anyone know if I need a 90 degree fitting for any of these. I also wanted to know if the smaller diameter flange fittings would work for this or if I need to get the wider flange. is this area usually scuffed up underneath the fittings.
5. Also planning on putting the check valves in there to suck the bags flat. Any reason I shouldn't do this?
6. Getting back to the bottom of the boat, How much glue do you use and do you need to buy the lock-nut with the screw in it?
7. I had this done for me on the last boat I owned and it cost me 200.00 for 1 fitting, I am not prepared to pay that again, Is there someone in the forum that lives close to me (Cumming GA) that has done this before on their boat, that would like to work for BEER?
8. Anything else that I really need to look out for when doing this? I understand that you need to smooth out the hole with a dremil tool or sand paper after the hole is drilled, but any other gotcha's would be greatly appreciated.

Hatchet reporter Julie Alderman shares her latest musical obsessions.
"Gray or Blue"
This song came up on my Regina Spektor Pandora station, which I highly recommend, and had me hooked after the first listen. The spontaneously cute lyrics couple with the sweet, simple melody to put a smile on anyone's face and Jaymay's sing-talking style makes for an overall fun feel. This song is perfect for curling up with a cup of coffee and reading your favorite book or for trying to de-stress as midterms approach.
"Haitian Love Songs"
"Haitian Love Songs" was introduced to me a few years back, but it's still one of my favorites to date. CocoRosie is an interesting duo, made up of sisters Bianca and Sierra Casady, playing what many now call "freak folk." This song combines hints of rap, folk, techno and pop, but I promise it's not as crazy as it sounds. The song brings out the vulnerability of the sisters' vocals, adding a deeper emotional level to the music that truly resonates.
"Over You"
Miranda Lambert
The usual country bad girl changes her tone for this heartfelt ballad about the death of her husband's brother. Lambert uses narrative lyrics to tell the somber story, and the juxtaposition of the soft lyrics and her powerful voice is simply wonderful. Even for those who don't like country, this one is a must!

JERUSALEM (Jun. 11)
The Jerusalem police are concentrating all available manpower on a search for the vandals who smashed 62 gravestones at the Jewish cemetery on the Mount of Olives over the weekend.
The destruction, apparently by men using heavy hammers, was discovered on Sunday. The Arab guard who reported it was promptly detained for questioning.
The graves are in the Kollel Polin section of the cemetery. The Kollel Polin Burial Society estimated the damage at $100,000.
No graffiti were found at the scene. There is an assumption, however, that the crime was committed by Arabs for nationalistic motives.

The pad absorbs up to twice as much as a normal e-cloth microfiber cloth.
e-cloths really are different and give a fantastic chemical free clean using just water. With proper care they will last for years. e-cloths work so well that you will get a lint-free, smear-free clean with just water.
E-cloth microfiber cloths are made of millions of tiny fibers that pick up dirt which normal cloths just leave behind. When we say tiny, we mean each fiber is about 1/200th the width of a human hair. These tiny fibers attract moisture and oil, lifts and traps dirt, grease, grime and bacteria. Leaving your surface clean and polished with no chemical residue left behind. This process is healthier with no chemicals used. There is no chance for potentially harmful fumes and residue. This is important to children, as well as allergy and asthma sufferers<.p>
Save money by reducing the use of paper towels and chemicals. E-cloths come with a 300 machine wash guarantee giving you years of cleaning performance and savings.

Many people each year decided they want to become students. If you're considering this, you need to think about what's involved. Here are some considerations to make if you want to become a student.
When weighing up your options, you should consider a gap year. A lot of people choose to take this option, and there are plenty of benefits. A gap year allows you to make a more definitive decision. You'll have a year to look at the options open to you and make the right choice. Another benefit of a gap year is that it allows you to save money. This is invaluable because it will allow you to finance your student life.
You've got to make sure you think about the course you want to do. This is where people often go wrong. They don't think carefully enough about the course they want to take. You need to enjoy what you're going to study. You also need to try to make sure it's something that will help you get a job. Consider the course very carefully before you make a decision. Remember, you're going to need to pay for the courses you take. So it's important to make the correct decision at the first time of asking.
The good thing these days is that you can study online. You don't actually need to go to university to be a student. This has revolutionised education, as it means anyone can study. If you have a job but want to study a free bible college online course you can. It's as easy as clicking a button and filling out forms. This is fantastic because it means you can study even in full-time employment. You can spend your evenings and weekends doing the course. This gives you the opportunity to better yourself and do something you want to do.
It's important to consider why you want to become a student. For many people, it will be for different reasons. A lot of people see it as an easy way to slack off for a couple of years. If this is how you look at student life, maybe it's not for you. You need to make sure you take education seriously. If you want to be a student to learn and get an education, you will go far. It's important to try to better yourself and give you real life prospects.
An important decision to make is where you want to be a student. If you're going to go to university, you have to think about where. Have you lived in your hometown your whole life? If the answer is yes, you might want to move away to study. Choosing where you're going to go as a student is extremely important. You might even think about going abroad to university. You need to make sure you think hard about this before you make a decision.
Becoming a student is a big step in your life. It's something that needs careful thought and consideration. You need to make sure you're doing it for the right reasons. You've also got to be sure you're making the best decisions. Be sensible about what you're doing and why you're choosing to be a student.
