Product Description
Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane brings his boundary-pushing brand of humor to the big screen for the first time as writer, director and voice star of Ted. In the live action/CG-animated comedy, he tells the story of John Bennett (Mark Wahlberg), a grown man who must deal with the cherished teddy bear who came to life as the result of a childhood wish...and has refused to leave his side ever since.
Anyone who's watched
Family Guy
knows that its creator Seth MacFarlane has a lot of hang-ups. As outrageous as many of them are in their animated TV show forum, they get a real rundown in
, MacFarlane's multi-hyphenate debut in feature films. As the director, producer, cowriter, and voice artist behind the title character, MacFarlane riffs on pop culture, drug culture, religion, sex, bodily functions, and all things '80s with the kind of abandon that borders on offensive to pretty much anyone--if only it all weren't so spot-on funny. Ted is an utterly believable CGI teddy bear who comes to life in the arms of a friendless 8-year-old boy named John, who quickly grows up to be Mark Wahlberg. John has made a wish that the pudgy plush be a friend for forever, a deal that they both hold on to with genuine poignancy as the years roll by. Ted grows right along with John in voice, manner, attitude, and bad habits until they're both unmotivated layabouts who would rather do nothing more than swill beer, smoke dope, and watch the absurdly iconic '80s movie
Flash Gordon
over and over again to the exclusion of most everything else in life. John has managed to pick up a girlfriend named Lori (Mila Kunis), who somehow tolerates the pair of them--at least for a little while. Eventually she's annoyed enough with John for not putting away his childish things, thoughts, and behaviors that she demands Ted move out and let them move on as adults. Among all the conceits that
embraces is the fact that this fully anthropomorphized stuffed bear started life as a global celebrity sensation before everyone forgot about him. Now he's just a blue-collar Boston nobody who sucks on a bong, chases women, and makes dirty jokes at every opportunity while nobody pays attention. This could have been a generic lowbrow buddy movie in the Judd Apatow mold, which might have been a little funny with a human slob in the Ted role. But MacFarlane brings to the remarkably expressive CGI creation an astonishing and often shocking dynamic with his voice characterization and the consistently clever situations, which whiz by in a structure that's pretty similar to an episode of
Family Guy
. There are frequent non sequitur digressions and offhanded one-liners that MacFarlane could never get away with on TV. But in the raunchy, anything-goes world of
it's all fair game. In addition to farts, drugs, bodily functions, and all manner of sexual vulgarity, it's the slams or homages to the 1980s that are the butt of many of the best zingers or recurring jokes. There are several cameo appearances that may make for delighted double takes. And Sam Jones, the star of the ill-fated
Flash Gordon
, plays a version of himself that makes a running gag all the more ingenious and demonstrates how far MacFarlane will go to bring comedy down to his level of hilarity. Mark Wahlberg should be commended for being game enough to participate and absolutely shows the comedy chops to make his scenes with Ted come alive. Technically the movie is a wonder as the two-foot Ted blends into the real world with complete believability even as he spouts some of the most outrageous dialogue this side of
The Hangover
may be an acquired taste for those who have a dislike for MacFarlane's comic sensibility--and there are a lot of people who do. But as a laughable lowbrow adventure that delivers virtually nonstop unexpected laughs with a little heart to back it up,
is a surprising comic novelty that may even win over some of the most vituperative MacFarlane haters.

Massachusetts Department of Correction Inmate Work Crews Clean Up at Boston Marathon
The recycling initiative was introduced in 2008 for DOC community work crews, who have been in operation for over 18 years. The Boston Marathon was the first project in this initiative. Boston's 4 th of July Esplanade extravaganza, Walk for Hunger, AIDS Walk, JP Morgan Corporate Challenge, Head of the Charles Regatta and the Pan Mass Challenge followed.
DOC work crews are minimum security inmates nearing release or parole eligibility. They are supervised on site by DOC Correction Officers and staff. The work experience allows inmates an opportunity to return something positive to the community during their incarceration as well as learn responsibility. Additionally, at a time when cities and towns are struggling with resources, these crews have played an important role in performing work that might otherwise not be done.
In 2010, 348 community work crews provided one million work hours saving the Commonwealth $8 million. The DOC has provided inmate work crews to the Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation, Emerald Necklace Conservatory, Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency to assist in cleanup projects following several major storms, as well as cities and towns throughout the Commonwealth.

A docu-drama centered on the journey through Italy of an immigrant from Senegal, starting from Lampedusa all the way up to Milan. After a short stay in that city he decides to go back to his country. —cineuropa
Came from an aristocratic family. After studying architecture in Rome for some time, he began his film career in 1953, working as a second assistant director to Mario Chiari for an episode of the film Loves of half a century. In 1954 he became assistant director to Jean The Paul-Chanois in Wonderful Time. Later he worked as a screenwriter and documentary filmmaker.
He started realizing documentaries in the 1950's. They were set mainly in Sicily and Sardinia, using powerful expressiveness to describe the ways of living of the proletariat Southern and the harsh living conditions of Sicilian fishermen and miners that worked sulfur mines. Among these films, the documentary Island of Fire, set in the Aeolian Islands, was named best documentary at the Cannes Festival in 1955.
In 1961 he made his debut with the film Bandits Orgosolo, written with his wife Vera Gherarducci, a film stylistically dry and enriched by neo-realism. The film won the Best First Feature Award at the Venice… read more

Our Little Thing - Creating A Sustainable Lifestyle In Patagonia
Creación de un estilo de vida sostenible en Patagonia パタゴニアでサステイナブルな暮らし作り
We're only 80 kms from the ocean and yet we hardly ever see any seafood! La Junta is a cowboy town and everyone eats beef and sheep - except us. There was a lady who sold fish from a small hut for a couple of months but she's dissapeared to more fishy climes, so it came as a small miracle that one day Konomi went to the local store and lo and behold a huge bag of King Crab Claws fresh from the nearby pacific. Just US$10 for the lot and a nice change for us and Cliff, who's working like a horse with an appetite.

Hello Paul,I love fish I eat it 3 times a week at least.You have got a river very near to your land.If you get some fishing line,a good hook,say a size 8 and a weight to keep it on the bottom ,some worms .You should be able to get some trout.just peg the line into the bank and leave overnight.Do that with say 6 lines you could do allright ,depending on the conditions of course. PS.The size of some of the trout down there you better peg them in good. good luck. And dont let someone say this river belongs to me ,and you are not allowed to fish it.

More than 50 years go, Mike Ilitch was poised for major-league glory. An up-and-coming shortstop for the Detroit Tigers, his baseball finesse was blossoming when an injury derailed his sports career. But although the wound stunted his athletic aspirations, it steered him toward a new path, and on May 8, 1959, he and his wife opened the first Little Caesars location, a then-unheard-of carry-out-only joint. The career shift and novel technique eventually proved triumphant. Today, the pizzeria's iconic, toga-clad mascot adorns storefronts on five continents. In each shop, staffers forge the signature Hot-N-Ready pizza, a freshly baked pizza designed for instant pickup, and warm, garlicky Crazy bread. With a storied half century under their belt, Mike Ilitch and his family strive to give back, supporting local organizations and creating their own charitable programs.
Near the bustling intersection of North Davis Highway and Olive Road lies a tranquil temple. It's not an Egyptian ruin or a place of worship but a shrine to eastern Asian cookery. Inside, brothers Irwan and Christopher Wong whorl squid, smelt roe, and escolar into made-to-order sushi rolls and craft Chinese classics such as orange chicken and kung pao pork without MSG. Diners can gather at tables trimmed with fresh flowers or pull up to a plant-lined sushi bar, which doubles as a stage for sparring samurai and geisha dolls. Here, the Wongs embellish Amazon rolls with fresh avocadoes and dot grilled chicken rolls with eel sauce and sesame seeds. On-the-go diners can retrieve takeout at the handy drive-thru window rather than having servers shot-put it through the front door.
Chefs roll fresh salmon, scallops, and barbecued eel into sushi behind Fuji's open-air bar and send elegant platters to diners watching every slice or parties gathered in private rooms. Teriyaki-chicken or shrimp-tempura bento boxes arrive filled with neat portions of dumplings and crab rangoons to ensure that meals remain perfectly organized on the trip to the stomach. Pork or chicken cutlets are breaded and fried in the tonkatsu style, and udon or soba noodles tangle with stir-fried vegetables and fish cakes. Hibachi chefs sear filet mignon, chicken, or lobster tails to perfection to complement glasses of Japanese beer, sake, or jasmine tea from the beverage list.
Wild Bangkok's team of chefs employs award-winning expertise gleaned from multiple continents to fashion a menu that offers authentic Thai fare made with healthy, organic, and locally derived ingredients. A full bar shines behind the marigold- and purple-hued dining space, with barkeeps standing by to uncap beers or pour, shake, and stir a variety of classic cocktails. The dining area's shoulder-stimulating booths accommodate both romantic dinners and group outings.
Sunlight glitters through Chappy's in Point Clear's wide-paned windows, illuminating chefs as they lightly fry trout fillets and drape shrimp hollandaise sauce over pork chops and tender milk-fed veal. From the kitchen, they'll hand over their gourmet surf 'n' turf entrees to a wait staff who then arranges them atop crisp white tablecloths where flower vases, napkins folded into fleur-de-lis, and life-size replicas of the Lusitania adorn place settings.
Beneath walls the color of warm ghee, the clarified butter used in Indian cuisine, street vendor–style wooden carts brim with thick curries. Taste of India's waiters pour from the kitchen, arms stacked with plates of lamb with house-toasted spices, rice dishes, and chicken and prawns steeped in the sweltering heat of a tandoor. After scooping up the last chickpea with a piece of warm naan, guests relax on the outdoor patio, which is lined with red parasols. There, they click glasses of wine or imported Kingfisher and Taj Mahal beers in a toast to celebrate getting promoted or successfully assembling a team to prank-call a casino.

I have been reading about something called Django in a few places and I know that it is a framework of some sort.
Anyone have any experience using it?
Looking for some first hand experiences good or bad.
I have been reading about something called Django in a few places and I know that it is a framework of some sort.
Anyone have any experience using it?
Looking for some first hand experiences good or bad.
Very, very powerful language, and I have found it pretty easy to learn, just like Python. Mind, haven't mastered it yet but nevertheless it is powerful.
Btw, you can't use it on shared hosting. Though many places provide Django preinstalled on servers nowadays.
Django's actually just a web framework that's written in Python; it's not a separate language.
Django gives you lots of conveniences when coding web apps. If that's what you're building, check it out, as it might be very useful for you.
On the flip side, I highly recommend Ruby and Ruby on Rails. I've been using both for nearly 1.5 years, and am constantly blown away by their ease of use, and power.
If you're trying to decide between Python and Ruby, go for Ruby.
That's just my opinion though!
Last edited by nickh; 2010-06-14 at 05:37 PM.
I've heard a lot of good things about both honestly, but I'm not personally familiar with either of them. You might want to look into tinkering with both if you can afford to and then decide from there. Different people seem to feel the same way about one program over the other so I think it's just a matter of personal preferences.
I've heard that it doesn't always jive with all browsers, but other than that I've heard it's fairly easy to use.
$10 to anyone who can name the song that's from.
Django and Rails are browser-agnostic. They don't care what you use. It's up to the site's creator to ensure that their site is cross-browser compliant.
If a Django or Rails site doesn't work well in a browser, it's because the person or people who created the site didn't test the site thoroughly enough, or decided to release it with bugs.
What's the difference between Ruby and Ruby on Rails? What's your preference?
Ruby is a programming language.
Ruby on Rails is a framework written in Ruby.
I use Ruby on Rails to build web applications quickly.
I use Ruby regularly to automate small tasks that would otherwise take me a long time to do manually.

That's interesting...thanks for that info about web applications vs. automated tasks.

I find that the more I am engaged and immersed in horses, the more equine legal topics I find to blog about! I have started riding a little mare more often, and thought I would introduce to you my latest equine muse, Tobiana (I know, not a very original name; Tobiana is Spanish for a tobiano (paint) colored horse).
"She now gets a thickly-bedded stall at night and lots of cookies- I think she is pleased with her choice"
She is a retired polo pony, though only retired because she has a mystery lameness whenever she plays field polo. We can't find any concrete physical reason why she goes lame, but she is perfectly sound as a hack horse, so voila! she has a new job.
Her mystery lameness made me think of lawsuits over lame horses.
Typically these lawsuits are by the buyers against the sellers and/or vet, alleging fraud and collusion in the sale. One lawsuit I worked on was for a horse that the buyer claimed could no longer perform at the level it was alleged to be able to perform at the time of sale. This would be a breach of implied or express warranty, plus, the buyer claims the vet and the sellers conspired to hide the horse's lameness issues.
So what about this little mare Tobiana and her mystery lameness? She has been in our family for a longtime, has been an excellent mare, and will forever be our pet. However, if I had purchased her with the expressed intent to play field polo with her, whether I would have a valid case or not would depend in part on: what the seller warranted the mare could do, the cause and timing of the lameness (whether the seller had knowledge of the mare's mystery lameness when she played field polo), and of course expert testimony regarding the existence of the mare's lameness.
I'm just glad that Tobiana is happy in her new job- after the relatively non-cushy life of polo pony, she now gets a thickly-bedded stall at night and lots of cookies- I think she is pleased with her choice. Plan on seeing a lot more of her on the blog!
Have you ever had a horse that had a mystery lameness? Perhaps he or she lightly brushes a jump pole, then feigns lameness? Such funny, and clever, creatures!

Let's face it- I am so far behind the times that I don't own a Kindle (I did but it broke and haven't been able to replace it) or even an eReader.
I know a lot of new authors strictly have eBooks because that's just everyday life now. I've tried reading ebooks on the computer but I get distracted. Do new authors have paperbacks available or do I need to save and get me a Kindle?
(I know it probably doesn't make sense. Sorry about that.)
I have found that some new authors tend to do eBook only for the first few months and then decide if they want to do paperback as well. Paperback tends to take longer and be less profitable. It took me a long time to get a reader as well and I read a lot on my computer. If you have a smart phone, you can read on that too. Good luck!
Even though I have a Kindle, I only review books that have physical copies available, because a lot of the people who read my blog don't have e-readers yet. I think it really depends what kind of books you like to read; many self-published authors go with e-books only, but if you prefer traditional publishing there's almost always a physical book available. Before I got my Kindle I received several physical review copies of books that were written by new authors.
I feel just like you. I didn't even get an ereader, until last month, when the ipad 3 came out. And before then, I had a smart phone that could read PDFs, if authors wanted to send me their books via attachment in e-mail. But reading on the computer is very distracting and takes a lot of time. Now that I actually have an ereader, I find it easier to review e-books that way. In the long run, to answer your question, there will probably always be paper backs, but it might be best to save some money aside for an ereader, since most authors seem to be going digitally now, with ebooks. As a reviewer, a lot of requests have been coming through digitally, which is why I broke down and finally gave into an ereader. Hope that helps!
I have over 2000 books in my house. While I have only read about half of them, I enjoy having them around me, and have at least skimmed most of them if not all. I love libraries, used book stores, and finding first editions at garage sales.
I don't have an e-reader, Kindle or otherwise, and don't plan to get one. But then I don't have a cell phone either -- probably the last person on earth. I do not enjoy reading books on a computer screen. I spend enough time looking at the screen editing my own work.
You are probably too young to remember 331/3 records, and then 45s and later eight tracks, and cassetts, etc. I have a garage full of this stuff, all obsolete because they no longer make players for these things. Ipads come out as a new version every few months, not that they're significantly better than the previous version, but the company makes a few more bucks.
Bound books have been with us for a long time and will be still with us when todays Kindles and Nooks and such have long been replaced by some other "new" form of technology.
By the way, if you want to read some good books, no YA, vampires, zombies, etc. check out my friend Stephen Poleskie's work at www.StephenPoleskie.com. They are not for everybody -- well writen and a good read.
Best wishes
I have both eBook and printed editions. I don't read on kindle. I do have one. So you don't need a kindle to publish ebooks. Good luck!

I was a holdout, swearing by the physical books and I would not give up my books. I tried for years to be able to read ebooks on my computer, but I work on my computer for more than 12 hours a day for my job, and I just could not bring myself to sit there any longer than I already was. However, I got a Nook Tablet for Christmas from a friend, and I have never looked back. I have not managed to pick up a paper book in, gosh, months. That being said, a lot of the newer authors are choosing to self publish, and to do that, it is easier to do just ebook, but then, many will go to print on demand services too. It is kind of a tossup, really.
You should probably get a kindle just because, like you say, a lot of new authors are publishing only ebooks (myself included). I have a confession to make though - after every 2-3 books on the kindle, I *have* to read a paperback. There's something about paper that kindle cannot replicate.
Having said that, don't miss out on some really great books that are kindle-only. Just bought Darcie Chan's The Mill River Recluse for 99c.
I love having an ereader now. I appreciate it even more now that I have space issues, with my family taking up residence in my dad's living room, and all of our worldly possessions either in a closet here or a storage unit. I would never be able to have so many books at my fingertips otherwise right now. I have a Nook Tablet with a dual boot card, so I can read books for any reader in any format, and it is the best gift I have ever gotten!
I've been in the publishing industry for about 24 years and I've seen the major changes in that time period. At the current time, I don't have a Kindle or e-reader of any type--finances mostly responsible for that. But I think I might be getting one very soon. E-book technology has risen so fast and furiously, that it has had a detrimental effect on the popularity and sales of print, both trade paperback and hard-back. I'm not sure how MMPBs are doing currently, but the belief seems to be that e-books are continuing to gain ground while print is falling. As one of the dinosaurs, I've held out and thought that print would continue to dominate and that e-books were just some fleeting fad. No so. In my own case, my e-book sales totally slaughter my trade paper and hard-back editions, so much so that I think print is a waste of time, at least, for me. Many publishers are realizing this too. I've never seen so many small e-book independents and small press sprout up in just the last two years. I can only think that e-books will eventually take the stage away from print, possibly within five years.
I held out for a long time saying that I would never like an e-reader because I need that feel of a book in my hand. I've been reading almost my entire life (since age 3) and I have a serious love for books. And as any book lover knows, the second love is the bookstore. An e-reader takes that joy away from you. Whether it's browsing all day in BAM, or discovering a great little second-hand bookstore, or digging through boxes in a garage sale, shopping for books is half the fun. Having said that, I now own a Nook. NetGalley rarely has print copies anymore, and most of the other publishing companies I review use e-books for all the "good" titles, and have a limited amount of print copies on the ones I don't want to review anyway. So, after months of listening to me dither about whether or not to give in, my husband came home one day with a Nook. And, I admit, I love it. It will never replace books for me, but it's great for travel, and since I spend a lot of my time in dr.'s offices, it's great to throw in my purse to read in the waiting room. I even have a friend who takes her along when she shops and reads it in the checkout line at Wal-Mart! So, IMHO, modern technology is upon us and we may not be able to avoid it completely. But never give up books completely! : )
Depends on the author. I will say that as an author, I make more from an ebook sale than I do a paperback. Also, as an author - and business person - paperback books mean inventory and risky costs (if the books don't sell, I'm stuck). An ebook is easier to manage, maintain, and easier to get! Kindle is instant download. Plus, with an ebook you can get into the short story and novella range versus the huge novel.
Either way, I read both. :)
I am a relatively new author. My debut novel, "The 9th Dimension," was released in mid December. I can tell you that it is available on amazon in both ebook and paperback format. I've been told that the ebook sales are much higher but that is probably due to a significant price difference.
As for myself, I don't own a kindle or nook and have no desire for one. I stare at a damn screen all day and when I have leisure time I want to look at an actual page. So I guess I'm even more backward than you. I have my own novel in ebook format and still refuse to use an ereader.

Designable visual markers
Costanza, Enrico and Huang, Jeffrey (2009) Designable visual markers. In, CHI '09: Proceedings of the 27th international conference on Human factors in computing systems ACM, 1879-1888.

Visual markers are graphic symbols designed to be easily recognised by machines. They are traditionally used to track goods, but there is increasing interest in their application to mobile HCI. By scanning a visual marker through a camera phone users can retrieve localised information and access mobile services. One missed opportunity in current visual marker systems is that the markers themselves cannot be visually designed, they are not expressive to humans, and thus fail to convey information before being scanned. This paper provides an overview of d-touch, an open source system that allows users to create their own markers, controlling their aesthetic qualities. The system runs in real-time on mobile phones and desktop computers. To increase computational efficiency d-touch imposes constraints on the design of the markers in terms of the relationship of dark and light regions in the symbols. We report a user study in which pairs of novice users generated between 3 and 27 valid and expressive markers within one hour of being introduced to the system, demonstrating its flexibility and ease of use.

This is her professional website and blog, where she shares her areas of expertise and thoughts about the realities of professional practice. Previously a college Senior Lecturer, Hilary now owns a business as a consultant, researcher, writer, speaker and website designer/coach. Always community engaged, but also with grounded board-level and national experience of regeneration, science, health, environmental issues, politics and culture, Hilary has worked in many contexts, from Liverpool via London to Prague. She is currently authoring a book on the eradication of female genital mutilation in Britain. A former AFS (American Field Service) Scholar, Hilary is now a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts.
Needed Right Now: A 'Keep Safe' Phone-Line (KSL) to Stop Female Genital Mutilation in Britain
Female genital mutilation is an abhorrence, yet little to stop it has been done even in countries like Britain. With the summer 'cutting season' upon us, there is an urgent need to move beyond moralising, to finding real, practical ways to eradicate FGM. One approach would be to have a single-number national phone-line, co-ordinated to cover all aspects of FGM and similar abuse, as the first point of call for everyone whether concerned professionals or neighbours, family friends and neighbours, and even (older) children themselves.
FGM: When The Deeply Personal Is Fundamentally Political
This post is in response to the announcement on International Women's Day 2013 by Prime Minister David Cameron that the UK will donate £35 million towards the United Nation's work (research and delivery) on eliminating female genital mutilation.
Political and policy aspects of this commitment are examined, along with some suggestions about how the issue can be brought into focus in Britain, where top-level formal responses to FGM until now have been very slow.
To some it may seem heartless, but surely it's obvious: If we really, seriously want to eradicate female genital mutilation (FGM) we have to move beyond the moralising – essential as it is – and follow the money. And we must understand the market. Yes, female genital mutilation is irreducibly a moral and cultural issue. But, absolutely correctly, no modern western state can leverage, or justify, much in the way of legally imposed moral and cultural determinism.
Culture change on its own is difficult. It's money which talks.
The Sande Society, Sororities, Sex Education And Female Genital Mutilation: Why PSHE is Important
Today is One Billion Rising Day, celebrated in many ways across the world and in the UK marked by a Parliamentary debate about violence against women and girls, and the need for Personal, Social and Health Education (PSHE) curriculum. One of the objectives of that debate is to secure agreement from the Coalition Government that all children will be given age-appropriate Sex and Relationship Education (SRE), so that they know better how to protect themselves, and also understand which behaviours are acceptable, and which are not….
International 'Zero Tolerance FGM' Day: Taking The Issues Forward
Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) is a cruel legacy of patriarchal societies and traditions stretching back over millennia. Yet still it occurs, even in Britain and the developed world: in the UK over 20,000 girls are thought to be at high risk or victims annually.
To mark today, 6 February – the tenth annual International Zero Tolerance to FGM Day – I have created a Stop FGM Page for this website. I also attach below (draft) model resolution-proposals which you may like to consider and/or adapt to take forward in your own organisations.
FGM is Child Abuse – But UK Perpetrators Go Free
Caitlin Moran's How To Be A Woman shares her impressions of 'traditional feminism': we should concentrate on the big stuff like 'pay inequality, female circumcision in the Third World, and domestic abuse' – all, she affirms, 'pressing and disgusting and wrong', but she insists that the day-to-day problems of woman kind are just as deleterious to peace of mind. By such a yardstick the growing awareness that female genital mutilation (FGM) is a gross reality in Britain, in 2013, is a tragic and shocking double whammy.
Why Does Female Genital Mutilation Occur? What Are Its Health And Wellbeing Impacts?
Female genital mutilation (FGM) is a horrific act, agreed by all the major global humanitarian and legal organisations, and by many nations, to be a gross violation of human rights. But still it continues, perpetrated often on small girls and young women under barbaric conditions. What follows is an attempt to describe and 'explain' this act. Possible consequences for those who have it are also listed.
NB: The ** material below is very distressing to read**, but knowledge of FGM is essential to eradicating the practice.

HOUSTON, TX - SEPTEMBER 15: Justin Maxwell #44 of the Houston Astros drives a ball to left field for a two run home run against the Philadelphia Phillies at Minute Maid Park on September 15, 2012 in Houston, Texas. (Photo by Bob Levey/Getty Images)
The Houston Astros defeated the Phillies 5-0, spoiling their opportunity to gain ground in the Wild Card race.
The Phillies wasted a golden opportunity to gain ground in the National League Wild Card race as they got shut out by the Astros, 5-0. Phillies starter Kyle Kendrick gave up a two-run homer in the first to Justin Maxwell and that was all Houston would need, as the Phillies' bats went cold.
Houston starter Dallas Keuchel entered the game 1-7 with a 5.35 ERA. He walked four and gave up five hits in just 5-1/3 innings, but the Phillies couldn't push across any runs.
Philadelphia had no luck against any of the Astros relievers either, as they allowed only two hits over 3-2/3 innings.
Meanwhile, the Astros had no problem adding on to their lead. Jose Altuve reached on a fielder's choice which allowed Jason Castro to score in the 2nd. In the fifth, Brett Wallace doubled home Keuchel to make it 4-0. J.D. Martinez singled home Castro to score the Astros' fifth run in the 6th.
The Phillies are currently 3-1/2 games behind the Cardinals for the second Wild Card spot.

U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry walked into a chaotic situation in Egypt, the first Arab country he's visited in his new role. The country is in economic and political turmoil, and he is trying Sunday to encourage Islamist President Mohamed Morsi to open up the political process and carry out much-needed reforms. After their meeting, he announced the U.S. would release $190 million in aid to Egypt.
Kerry has also been hearing complaints from opposition figures, who have vowed to boycott upcoming elections.

When Sony recently announced details on the upcoming release of the PlayStation 4, it prompted a new round of hand-wringing about the future of console gaming.
Sales of games on the PlayStation 3, Wii and Xbox 360 have dropped precipitously in recent years as mobile gaming — on smartphones and tablets — has become more popular. Advance word is that the PS4 will integrate certain mobile and social media functions, and some are speculating whether this is the end for standalone, full-featured console systems.

Transformers: Fall of Cybertron drops August 28 in US
High Moon Studios' third-person action game hits North America in late August for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3; heading to Europe on August 31.
The fall of Cybertron is set for August. Activision today announced via a new trailer that Transformers: Fall of Cybertron will arrive in the United States for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 on August 28. Previously, the game was expected sometime this fall. A European launch is slated for August 31.
A follow-up to 2010's War for Cybertron, Fall of Cybertron takes players through the final hours of the war between the Autobots and the Decepticons as they battle for dominion over their fading planet.
Fall of Cybertron will not include its predecessor's cooperative component, but High Moon is beefing up the game's multiplayer mode. Specific details are thin, but the developer showed the game off at DICE 2012 in February, revealing that players will be able to customize their characters' parts and color schemes.
For more on Transformers: Fall of Cybertron, check out GameSpot's exclusive trailer, embedded below.

Cease and Desist | Video
Sarahbeth Ackerman | 11/17/2012"Let this word go out to head shops and anybody whose thinking about selling these in business places or out of homes or for anywhere else we have people who are monitoring, agents, law enforcement is watching what is happening," he said.
Yesterday his office issued a cease and desist order against Hemp Horizonz, operating in two locations in Minot.
"As well as the head shops in other parts of the state including Minot and confirmed sales that`s why we ordered the cease and desist knowing that these sales were going on," said Stenehjem.
In an undercover operation, law enforcement went into Hemp Horizonz where they then were sold multiple packets of synthetic drugs. Upon the sale the employee told the officer that the products tasted good, even though the label says "not for human consumption."
"And so it really is a market of contradiction of the stated claim that these aren`t for human consumption. We all knew that was a fraud and dishonest statement that people are actually taking these substances, ingesting them, in order to get what they thought was a legal high," said Stenehjem.
Management of Hemp Horizonz originally agreed to talk with us on camera, but once they were served the cease and desist order, they refused to comment on the matter.
Officials say they`ve been getting tips from all over the state about shops selling synthetic drugs.
Stenehjem encourages anyone with information about on going sales to call the BCI tip lone, toll free at 800-472-2185.

Jan. 3, 2011 southpaw Men's 60 651 posts | For All the Rained in, snowed in, Waiting on Warmer Weather People My Pastor told this one in A.M. worship yesterday, so I guess it is alright! A Minister concluded a graveside service at the local cemetery. As he made his way across the cemetery to his car, he began to hear uncontrollable sobbing and weeping. He made his way across the cemetery; as he drew closer, he saw a man seated on a bench in the midst of some tombstones. Sobbing and weeping, the man continually cried out: "Why did you die? Why did you have to die?!" The minister drew near and offered his assistance, then asked: "Was it your spouse?" He received a negative reply. "Was it another family member or friend?" No and no came the man's response. "Well then, who?!" The man turned to the minister and with great tears in his eyes, he stated: "It was her first husband!" |
Jan. 4, 2011 Tater50 325 posts | Young Boy goes to see his Great Grandfather out in the country. They go to church, built in the early 1800's; aligned on the walls were many pics of soldiers in uniform ranging from the Spanish American thru the Afghan War. The young boy says: "Paw Paw; what are all these pictures on men on the wall"? Paw Paw said: "these are men who DIED in service." Young Boy: "Paw Paw; did they die in the Sunday morning or the Sunday Night Service"? |
Jan. 4, 2011 southpaw Men's 60 651 posts | Good one Tater! A teammate sent this one to me a few weeks back: Grandfather and his very vocal little grandson were shopping at Walmart. As soon as they entered, the little boy started grabbing things off the shelf, making loud noises, causing a commotion (that's southern talk). Young woman behind them heard grandfather say very soothingly, "Now William, call down, we'll be through here soon, take it easy, etc." This occurred over and over throughout the store. Same message, same soothing voice--"Now William, calm down, etc." Finally,in the checkout line, little one acted up once more; same encouraging words from grandpa. Same young woman in line behind them. She tapped grandfather on the shoulder and expressed a commendation to him for being so patient with little William. Grandfather's reply: I'm sorry, but you misunderstand. I'm William! He's Joey! |

Jan. 5, 2011 cyborg45 32 posts | Two very old softball buddies were discussing if there would be softball teams in heaven. About a week later one of the buddies passed away. Another week or so went by and suddenly the ghost of the friend who had died appeared to to his old buddy. The ghost said "I've got good news and bad news. The good news is they've got great softball teams in heaven. The bad news is you're pitching on Friday". |
Jan. 5, 2011 Tater50 325 posts | 2 Rednecks hunting & they came upon a large deep hole. Zeb said: Dang that's deep; he hollered hello & 10 seconds later Hello came back. Wish we knew how deep it is? Big Dee said: Let's throw something in. So they looked around & saw a transmission; they both picked it up cause it was real heavy & tossed it in. A few moments later; they heard a loud noise crashing thru the woods; they turned w/their 30.06's & looked & here comes this goat tearing up the brush like he was mad; he came up to the hole & JUMPED in!!! A few moments after a farmer shows up & ask if they had seen his goat. Zeb says: Heck yes!! That fool thing came thru the brush, limbs & briars, stomping, scratching, raising a rukus & came up to the hole; looked in & then jumped!!! Farmer said: That is impossible; I had him tied off to a heavy transmission!!! Tater50 |

New York Tops Ranking of World's Most Expensive Shopping Locations14 Nov, 2007, Toronto/VancouverCanadian street fronts show good value compared to the global market
New York retains its title as the world's most expensive shopping destination in this year's edition of Main Streets Across the World, the annual publication by global real estate consultant, Cushman & Wakefield. An average 1,000 sq ft/93 sq m unit on at Fifth Avenue's most expensive stretch, along the golden corridor between the junctions with 49th and 59th Street, now costs around US$1.5mn a year, up 11 per cent on last year. Main Streets Across the World (MSATW) is this year launched at MAPIC, the international market for retail real estate taking place in Cannes, France, on 14-16 November. The report tracks retail rents in the world's top 231 shopping locations across 44 countries. The global league table is drawn up by taking the most expensive location in each of the countries monitored. In Canada, both Bloor Street in Toronto and Robson Street in Vancouver fell three spots in the overall rankings, with no year-over-year change in the rental rates. Despite this, demand from both domestic and foreign retailers remains extremely strong for space on these prime streets. "Demand for prime locations along these strips is incredibly high – the trend in both markets is for retailers to expand vertically, and to use existing space more creatively," said John Crombie, Senior Managing Director and National Practice Leader, Cushman and Wakefield LePage. "Pressure on rental rates is continuing to be strong, despite the higher Canadian dollar and the potential for fewer tourists shopping these areas." John Strachan, Cushman & Wakefield's Global Head of Retail, comments: "We are seeing the emergence of a line-up of global shopping destinations, whether Fifth Avenue in New York, Causeway Bay in Hong Kong or Avenue Champs-Elysées in Paris, where retailers are using flagship stores in prestige locations to leverage the value of their brands. These locations are not just attracting local shoppers, but shoppers from around the world, whose very reason to travel is quite often to shop, while the driving force in many of the Asia Pacific locations is also the emergence of a middle class with money in their pockets." Regarding New York's Fifth Avenue, Gene Spiegelman, Executive Director of Cushman & Wakefield in New York, says: "Fifth Avenue has maintained its dominant position as the world-class destination for global brands looking to establish a retail presence." THE WORLD'S MOST EXPENSIVE SHOPPING STREETS
Source: Cushman & Wakefield The world ranking sees little movement at the top, with Hong Kong (Causeway Bay) retaining its second place and Paris (Avenue des Champs Elysées) its third place. Regarding the way ahead, John Strachan says: "We are seeing no signs of let-up in the demand for the right space in the right location, despite the anticipated slowdown in the global economy for 2008. Retailers are continuing unabated with their aaggressive drive into new markets, both mature and emerging. This in turn is helping to support and, indeed, increase rents in key retail locations around the world, where availability is tight and turnover of units is limited." For further information, please contact: The Press Office Cushman & Wakefield EMEA Tel: 44 20 7935 5000 Notes to Editors: 1. Main Streets Across the World is based on data collected in June 2007 from Cushman & Wakefield's offices around the world. The data relates to the rent obtainable on a standard unit (frontage of six metres and depth of 25 metres) in a prime pitch. -30- Cushman & Wakefield LePage is the Canadian operation of Cushman & Wakefield, the world's largest privately owned commercial real estate services firm with more than 11,000 professionals in 201 offices in 55 countries. The firm delivers integrated solutions by actively advising, implementing and managing on behalf of landlords, tenants, and investors through every stage of the real estate process. These solutions include helping clients to buy, sell, finance, lease, and manage assets. Cushman & Wakefield also provides valuation advice, strategic planning and research, portfolio analysis, and site selection and space location assistance, among many other advisory services.

Album Rating: 2.5inb4 5,000 of these by tomorrow. Review is a bit sloppy most likely, so tell me anything that needs fixing.
Album Rating: 2.5Neg'd already? Wow.
Album Rating: 2.0Review is pretty good, quote is kind of awkwardly placed. Should I even bother checking this out?Digging: This Will Destroy You - Young Mountain
Digging: This Will Destroy You - Young Mountain
Album Rating: 2.5Hmmm... Did you hate the latest 30 Seconds to Mars album?
Album Rating: 1.5A few minor grammatical errors but good review, man. Good point about the feel of the music being more cheerful etc. Pos.
Album Rating: 2.0"Unfortunately, the problems with this album are unfortunately too glaring to justify a higher score." Maybe change the wording there.
Album Rating: 2.5The quote looks fine on my iPod... Does it look bad on a PC? I'll get rid of the quote tags if it does.
just a few nit picky things i noticed: even if he isa bit separate the "is" and the "a" the formatting for that quote seems a little fucked up, too. the opening statement reads awkward, "Change is a difficult thing for most bands to go for" maybe replace that with "embrace"? or some such similar verb that sounds less clumsy than "go for" review seems slightly rushed if i'm being quite honest, but i agree with the rating and a lot of the points you made, particularly about how Gerard seems less passionate and the presence of lackluster filler...anyways, if you make a few edits i'll pos (by the way im not the one who neg'd)
Album Rating: 2.0this album is all glitz and glamour with no heart.Digging: Faith No More - The Real Thing
Digging: Faith No More - The Real Thing
Album Rating: 2.5That better? And I wrote the review and didn't like it and rewrote it. 3 negs over those things is a bit ridiculous tbh.
listened to nananananananananana and then the next song and i'm already disappointed going back to listening to taking back sunday
This shouldn't have 3 negs. Aside from those few grammatical issues it's well-written. One more thing though: "The albums lacks a sense of unity" (at the start of the next-to-last paragraph)Digging: Lunatic Soul - Lunatic Soul II
Digging: Lunatic Soul - Lunatic Soul II

Album Rating: 2.5Good.
Album Rating: 3.0Good review. I was hoping this would be good but from what I've heard people say about it so far it doesn't sound like I will like it. Still gonna give it a spin when I get around to it.
pos-a-licious. overall good review.
