I'm an ad grad that's obsessed with video games and telecommunications in Canada (I know, telecom and Canada is a bit of an oxymoron)
I also don't have a real job. lololol ahhh I'm so sad.
I have a Wii and PS3, but honest the Wii sucks donkey noodles.
Video game consoles ARE already dead!!!
on 11.30.2011
Wait wait wait!
Let me explain!
I want to talk about something similar just for a moment.
Hardcore gamer here. Ga dur dur.
People like to use the terms "hardcore" and "casual" as if there is only two predetermined types of games that appeal to one of two types of video gamers. For example. Demons Soul is a "hardcore" game, and Kirby's Epic Yarn is a "casual" game.
It's natural for humans to do that, it's in our nature, since we, as
, try to understand the world by somewhat "sorting" experiences and outside things into various emotions or definitions. It makes the world seem not like the big chaotic mess that it really is and clams us down inside. We all do it.
But obviously, some things just can't be defined like that, or their definition changes over time. That it evolves like us humans.
So after knowing this, we then looking at games that can't be put into either piles, like World of Warcraft or certain Mario games, they appeal to both "casual" and "hardcore".
The same goes for terms like "kiddie" and "mature" games. Terms that showed up after people began to realize that you can't use "casual" and "hardcore" for every game, but the same issue applies.
Or even what constitutes as an RPG or MMO.
Facebook for example, is by definition and MMO and games like Mario are by definition an RPG.
Facebook, is massively multiplayer and online, even if it isn't a game and in Mario you are not playing yourself, which mean you are PLAYING a ROLE of someone else in a GAME.
I'm sure many of you can see where I'm going with this.
Definitions of words and terms.
Humanity depends on definitions of things and sorting them into categories. It's what we do, and some people are stubborn mentally when it comes to changing these things whether they can change it by choice or not. Or in fact, forget what the definition even means.
Another word I can think of that many people forgot the definition of.
Oh shit! He just got all political up in here!
So I poorly lead to video game consoles and how I think they are already dead.
But, but, it's not a game system because, because, derp da dur!
Video game consoles are not dead in the sense that companies like
or people like
Richard Garriott
like to think of them as. I think the term itself it dead, and started to die back with the Playstation One, which Nintendo, like always, holding out at that time with the term.
I say it's dead because let's look at what, by definition, what a video game console is.
It's a console that plays video games. Simple enough, but the definition implies that playing video games is all it does.
Yeah we all remember this.
As the link shows, Playstation One played music CDs. Does that make it still a video game console? Technically no. It still plays video games, but it does more than just that. You could say it's a.
The Nintendo 64, yes, was a video game console. So was the Gamecube.
The PS2 played DVDs AND Music CDs. The GBA and DS did have the ability to play videos on cartridges, which I'm sure no one bought, but still.
Now we're at present time where the PS3, PSP/Vita, Xbox 360 and even the Wii and 3DS can do more than just play video games. They can stream Netflix and videos, play music, download videos and music, pictures, browse the Internet, take pictures, record video and so much more.
What else does stuff like this? Well personal computers like a Mac or PCs, Laptops and Netbooks, web enabled TVs, Tablets,
and even MP3 players.
So how is it, that some people still cling to the idea that video game consoles are video game consoles when they stopped being that over a decade ago?
How is it that people refuse to say the Iphone/Ipod Touch is a video game system (which it's not), stating that it's just a multimedia device that
play video games, but by all definition, all "video game consoles" are exactly what the Iphone/Ipod Touch is.
I'll tell you why. Cause we're human and we're idiots.
This = Truth
I'm well aware that there's a, pretty sad, defense that the system like PS3 and 360 are video game consoles because that's their
as a system, where as the Iphone and Ipod focus even across all things or on music and videos more.
It doesn't matter, they still aren't video game consoles. They are the exact same as the Iphone. These systems now fall into a category that some people don't want to admit they have, since that would somehow implode the universe or crash the video game industry or something.
Video game consoles are dead. The term itself is dead and no longer exists in the way some people want it to. the only place it does exist is with those cheap children's toys at stores that
play games.
Defend That!
Saying all this will means nothing in the end of course. People will still cling to words and definitions like they cling other things that are clearly wrong. Like organized religion.
It's in our nature to do so.
I myself am still putting the PS3 and so on into categories and terms, it's unavoidable.
I'm just trying to clear it up, that video game consoles are, in fact, dead. At least in regards to how most people use the term.
Now maybe we can go back to gaming and focus on what we SHOULD be focusing on. Whether the games suck cause they're made by EA or Activision, or how it sucks cause a minor detail was changes, like an eye colour.
Why am I doing this?
Cause I'm really bored right now.

What Social Psychology Offers Direct Response Radio Advertisers
We've written on this topic before - how the field of social psychology has a wealth of insight to offer direct response advertising.
But never has it been so prevalent in the news as it is today, with prominent front page coverate in multiple national newspapers. And, it happens to also relate to yesterday's post on this blog by further enhancing the idea presented there.
"Both obesity and thinness are socially contagious" according to James Fowler, co-author of a study published this week in the New England Journal of Medicine.
The study finds that social networks have an even greater effect on chances of becoming obese than genes do. In fact, a person's chance of becoming obese jumps 57% if he or she also has a friend who became obese during a given time.
Social networks. Social Psychology. Hmmm...
Advertising is fundamentally about influencing behavior. But you have to understand the behavior first - what it is, why it occurs. Because only then can you understand the root, fundamental "need" that is being impacted by your product. And only then can you speak the right message to your customers - the one that helps them see how your product or service meets their needs.
In this case, we're talking about the issue of weight, weight gain and weight loss, the latter being one very large category of consumer marketing and consumer spending. But the idea, the concept, is directly applicable to all other categories.
If you're a marketing person, this stuff is drool-worthy. As today's Wall Street Journal puts it, the findings in this study help "explain why obesity is rising despite widespread dieting and why any weight loss achieved is so often short lived".... That "initiatives to fight obesity should take social networks into account". The study explains why organizations with a social approach to weight loss - like Weight Watchers - have achieved such success.
If you're a psychologist by trade, you're probably saying "duh". We're social creatures and it's common knowledge that we compare ourselves with others, constantly gravitating toward those who "validate" us, that is - their behaviors and words are a source of positive feelings about our own "okayness" (though being external it's an unreliable source of okayness, but that, and it's impact on marketing, is for another post). A large percentage of our "needs" - those being met by the products advertised in all mediums - boil down to the extent to which they boost this feeling of "okayness".
For direct response radio advertisers, the question becomes how to apply this knowledge to building successful campaigns. As a radio agency, this is the kind of discussion we'll push for in the strategy development stage, because it feeds the rest of the process. If you're marketing a weight loss product, perhaps it's a more direct application. If you're in a different category, it'll take some more mental work to reach an understanding of your customer's behavior and then apply it. Either way, if you want to make that connection with your potential customers, you need to show them you care enough to understand them. They'll respond to that, often by buying your product at least once. If your messages are true, then they'll buy more than once and they'll also tell other people. Then you're on to something.

If I had millions of dollars I would convert this into my entire house.
Downtown Hartford, CT taken from the inside of another building.
I love this place and it is actually not abandoned. It use to be an axe factory but now people can rent out studio or office space. How sweet would it be to have an office right here?!?! I feel like inquiring just so I can get a tour of the place.
All the teenagers jump of this bridge when the river is high enough. I'll admit that I would've done it too if someone dared me. Times like these really make me miss my carefree youth and the sense of invincibility went along with it.

Melissa Manchester
Melissa Manchester
MOR singer/songwriter Melissa Manchester, whose father was a bassoonist for the New York Metropolitan Opera, began singing commercial jingles at age 15 and went on to become a staff writer for Chappell Music while attending the High School of Performing Arts. After taking a songwriting class at New York University taught by Paul Simon, Manchester took her talents to the Manhattan club scene, where she was discovered by Bette Midler and Barry Manilow; the two hired her as a backup singer in 1971. She recorded her debut album, Home to Myself, in 1973, co-writing many of the songs with Carole Bayer Sager. Released in 1975, Melissa produced her first Top Ten hit, "Midnight Blue," and set the tone for most of her career with its direct, slickly produced MOR pop sound. She and Kenny Loggins co-wrote the latter's 1978 duet hit with Stevie Nicks, "Whenever I Call You Friend," and the following year, Manchester returned to the Top Ten with "Don't Cry Out Loud." In 1980 Manchester became the first singer to have two movie themes nominated for Academy Awards (Ice Castles and The Promise); two years later she achieved her highest Billboard singles chart placement with the number five hit "You Should Hear How She Talks About You," which won a Grammy for Best Female Vocal Performance. Through the '80s and '90s, Manchester alternated occasional recording with scriptwriting and acting, appearing with Bette Midler in For the Boys and on the television series Blossom as the title character's birth mother. In spring 2004, Manchester returned with her first album in ten years. When I Look Down That Road, which included collaborations with Beth Nielsen Chapman and Keb' Mo', marked her first proper release with Koch. ~ Steve Huey, Rovi

Hallen's future unclear
By Zac Jackson, Staff Writer
August 8, 2006
The Browns are preparing for the possibility they'll be without Bob Hallen for an extended period of time.
It's possible they won't have Hallen at all.
A day after Hallen missed practice with what coach Romeo Crennel called "back issues," Crennel said the Browns' starting center was dealing with "medical and personal issues" and wasn't with the team.
Crennel said the team's options for handling the situation include placing Hallen on the exempt-left team list, which would open a roster spot.
"His issues are enough that I need to investigate that," Crennel said.
What's known is that Hallen practiced Monday morning, didn't practice Monday afternoon, and didn't report to Berea Tuesday. He spoke to Crennel and explained his situation.
"He gave me good enough reason to have some concern on my part," Crennel said.
Hallen, 31, signed with the Browns in March. He moved into the starting lineup when LeCharles Bentley suffered a season-ending knee injury July 27.
When the Browns open the preseason Thursday night in Philadelphia, Alonzo Ephraim will likely be the starting center.
Crennel said the Browns would consider placing Hallen on the exempt-left team list in order to open a roster spot. The team has already signed two free agent centers (Ephraim and Mike Mabry) since camp began, had a third free agent guard/center, Todd Washington, sign then retire, and lost rookie fourth-round pick Isaac Sowells, a guard, to an ankle injury last week.
Behind Ephraim are undrafted rookie Paul Smith, Mabry, and Dave Yovanovits, who was a backup guard last season but can play center if necessary.
The team will explore more free agents, potential trades and scan the waiver wire in the coming weeks, but Crennel said they'll be conscious of the cost of giving up a player or draft picks.
"We've discussed our options and a potential plan of attack," Crennel said.
OIC. The new starting center has been with the team for 2 weeks.
Sound really fishy... Like the doctor discovered a VD or something.

The way he fell signaled that he might not be a starter this year
We'd be set at RT. Tebow better be worth it.
The way he fell signaled that he might not be a starter this year
looked like Vlad II in the highlights I saw
run blocker who is lost in pass blocking
According to Tony on Draft Insider, the word on the street was that Massie wouldn't be competing to start for at least a year and he was raw, a project.
Even if that weren't the case, saying "we'd be set" based on a draft pick that hasn't even put on an NFL jersey yet is awfully premature. Sounds to me like the Jets didn't want to invest in another raw OT after drafting Ducasse, who might end up being productive well before Massie.
I will gladly go on record saying Tebow will have a more POSITIVE impact on the 2012 Jets than this Massie kid (or likely any pick at 108) would have had.
Of course, I see Tebow as a better version of Brad Smith, and not even remotely a threat to start at QB, so that's where my guarantee is coming from . . .
Mayock had Massie at #44 on his top 100 overall. Said he'll get some snaps this year. I think it was Charles Davis who said he's good enough to eventually play him at LT, if someone wanted to move him there.
A potted plant at pick #108 would move ahead of Hunter on the depth chart...
And who says we would have drafted Massie at 108? If the Jets wanted to, I'm sure they could have traded their 3rd round pick next year for the first pick in the 4th round, or somewhere in that range. One of the teams before Arizona would have taken a 3rd rounder next year for their 4th rounder this year.
getting away from the coulda-shudda department into the world of reality
the NY Jets in a trade with the Denver got an athletic backup quarterback AND a former first round pick WHO ACTUALLY started at QB for the Broncos last year and WON a playoff game in OT against the Pittsburgh Steelers
Phillip Blake, a middling center from Baylor whom the Broncos drafted with the fourth round pick they received from the NYJ
I guess that's correct, sort of
if you don't agree that Tebow is
1) better than Mark Brunell as a backup
2) better than Jeremy Kerley/LT were last year at the direct snap option
3) better than Phillip Blake, Center from Baylor
So if their 4th round pick was a bust, like 90% of 4th rounders historically have been, what did they lose? I just can't believe some of you people are acting like they gave a 1st round pick for Tebow. It's a 4th rounder. 4th. Check up on how many good 4th rounders there are. Just because you can name a couple good 4th rounders in history doesn't mean it's a terrible loss. I am sure I can name about 9 times as many 4th rounders who didn't make it as you can name that did.
we already have Vlad Ducasse
there was no need to draft Vlad Ducasse II

Madonna: 'We have a black Muslim in the White House'
Maybe not all endorsements are good ones, particularly when the facts are not accurate.
During a concert in D.C. Monday night, pop icon Madonna made a pretty major mistake while attempting to endorse President Barack Obama.
"Y'all better vote for f--king Obama, OK? For better or for worse, all right? We have a black Muslim in the White House," Madonna said, according to The Huffington Post.
"It means there is hope in this country. And Obama is fighting for gay rights, so support the man," she went on to say.
ABC7 met Carly Shields as she was registering people to vote near Dupont Circle. Shields doesn't believe Madonna thought about the impact her words could have.
"It absolutely shows a lack of knowledge, and it shows a lack of concern for what you're going to say to a whole group of people...as a public figure, it's fairly thoughtless of her," Shields added.
While the star may have made the comments sarcastically, it is widely not being perceived that way. Either way, it is widely known that the president, whose stepfather was a Muslim, is a practicing Christian.

Certain transactions and relationships
Under the Company's written related person transactions policy, information about transactions involving related persons is assessed by the independent directors on IBM's Board. Related persons include IBM directors and executive officers, as well as immediate family members of directors and officers, and beneficial owners of more than five percent of the Company's common stock. If the determination is made that a related person has a material interest in any Company transaction, then the Company's independent directors would review, approve or ratify it, and the transaction would be required to be disclosed in accordance with the SEC rules. If the related person at issue is a director of IBM, or a family member of a director, then that director would not participate in those discussions. In general, the Company is of the view that the following transactions with related persons are not significant to investors because they take place under the Company's standard policies and procedures: the sale or purchase of products or services in the ordinary course of business and on an arm's-length basis; the employment by the Company where the compensation and other terms of employment are determined on a basis consistent with the Company's human resources policies; and any grants or contributions made by the Company under one of its grant programs and in accordance with the Company's corporate contributions guidelines.
In connection with Mr. Palmisano's retirement from the Company effective December 1, 2012, the Board approved certain arrangements that were disclosed by the Company in September 2012. These arrangements are also described in the 2012 Compensation Discussion & Analysis. From time to time, the Company may have employees who are related to our executive officers or directors. As noted in the discussion above on "General Information — Board of Directors," Mr. Eskew's son is employed by the Company. He is an executive of the Company (not an executive officer). In addition, an adult child of Mr. M. E. Daniels (Senior Vice President and Group Executive, Services) and a sibling of Dr. J.E. Kelly III (Senior Vice President and Director, Research) are employed by the Company in non-executive positions. Further, a brother-in-law of Mr. M. Loughridge (Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, Finance and Enterprise Transformation) and the spouse of Mr. T.S. Shaughnessy (Senior Vice President, GTS Services Delivery) are executives of the Company. None of the above-referenced family member employees are executive officers of IBM. Each employee mentioned above received compensation in 2012 between $120,000 and $500,000. Additionally, in 2012 the above-referenced family members of Messrs. Eskew, Daniels, Loughridge and Shaughnessy each received an equity grant. The compensation and other terms of employment of each of the family member employees noted above are determined on a basis consistent with the Company's human resources policies.

Certain information about insurance and indemnification
The Company has renewed its directors and officers indemnification insurance coverage. This insurance covers directors and officers individually where exposures exist other than those for which the Company is able to provide indemnification. This coverage runs from June 30, 2012 through June 30, 2013, at a total cost of approximately $6.6 million. The primary carrier is XL Specialty Insurance Company. Between February 1, 2012 and January 31, 2013, payments in the amount of approximately $22,000 were made pursuant to this liability insurance.

ASTRO File Manager with Cloud
50,000,000 - 100,000,000 downloads
- It's a must have
- Fast, easy, useful
- Essential
- Ads
Astro FM allows to manage your files as if your phone was connected to your PC.
Yes, it's as easy as it sounds. When you connect your phone by USB to your PC (or Mac or whatever) you can manage your files, copy, delete them and so on. Astro does exactly the same after browsing your sdcard .
It also includes a process manager to stop any current tasks. It's incredibly fast and secure, with a nice interface and easy usage. Its only flaw are the ads appearing on the lowest part of the screen, which can be eliminated by purchasing an Astro Pro Key. These ads aren't intrusive, but it's unsightly to have ads in your own phone without ever launched a game or something.
So, we believe that Astro File Manager should come by default in every Android Phone. Until then, we can just strongly recommend it.
Organize, view and retrieve all of your pictures, music, videos, & documents; built-in app backup & task killer; manage all your files regardless of where they are stored (in a cloud or on another device such as):
* Phone
* Tablet
* Clouds (Dropbox, Google Drive, Facebook, Box & SkyDrive)
* PC, Mac, Linux (via networking)
Click here to ask to join our Beta Test Google + Group: http://plus.google.com/b/103095216021321867726/communities/106251776630475861309
Ever try to find a file but can't remember where you put it? ASTRO has the most robust technology to search phones or search for files in the mobile world, giving you the ability to do anything from broad searches across all locations mentioned above for types of content (pics, music, videos, etc.) to very specific file searches based on file name, size, location, etc. And, with ASTRO's unique "CLOUD HOPPING (TM)", you can move files from one cloud to another in a single copy or move/paste - without having to download them first before sending to your destination cloud!
ASTRO now has support for Leef Bridge, a powerful, yet simple, innovative USB flash drive that allows users to easily transfer files to other devices (Android phones, tablets, Macs and PCs). Visit www.2leef.com/bridge for more information and a list of compatible devices.
What are some of the benefits to ASTRO's new file Indexing functionality:
- After your first search, results are almost instantaneous across all indexed locations (mobile device, clouds, networked locations)
- If you are offline, you can still search for files that have been indexed.
- Eliminates redundant network calls in ASTRO, making some file search operations faster.
- Better file search, file browsing experience in areas with spotty or slow network coverage.
How does ASTRO's new Indexing functionality work?
- As you browse through directories on your device, clouds or networked locations, ASTRO begins indexing your files in the background in order to speed up future searches you perform.
- It will also build your index whenever you do a search. It will build the index for your internal and external sd cards very quickly (typically under 15-20 seconds). Clouds or networked locations will take longer and also depends on the number of files in those locations.
- You can also choose to proactively index any of your other locations like clouds (Box, Dropbox, Google Drive, SkyDrive) and networked locations by doing a search on those locations or by going to Settings, Search index and click Rebuild index. Keep in mind if you choose to index a 500GB server you have at home, it may take a while. :)
- You can go to Settings, Set Default Search Locations to set your default locations.
- You can go to Settings, Search index and clear your index at any time as well.
- SWIPE SCREEN RIGHT to get to Clouds, Network Locations or Saved Searches fast
- SWIPE SCREEN LEFT to get to Tools (App Backup, Task Killer, SD Card Usage), Settings and Help
ASTRO File & Cloud Manager FREE gives you the ability to kill tasks or processes that burn battery life (Task Killer Tool) and easily backup apps (App Backup Tool) in case you lose or change phones.
FEATURES INCLUDE: file manager, phone download manager, content management, multiple cloud management / cloud storage manager with Facebook, Google Drive, Dropbox, Box and SkyDrive, android file browser, file and/or app backup, app manager, image and text viewers, networking, Bluetooth, SFTP, Zip Files, download manager, thumbnails, search files, task manager, attachments, and more.
Quick Start Guide, FAQ's and Documentation: http://support.metago.net.
ASTRO supports 11 languages including: English, French, Spanish, Italian, German, Japanese, Korean, Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, Russian & Portuguese.
- Support for x86 devices
- updated to new Box API
4.4-543 - fixed several small bugs on several different platforms
- Improved memory usage
- Improved Skydrive support
- Indexed Searches. Search are now automatically indexed which greatly decreases search times for clouds and networks. Read more about how indexing works in the Description.

General Motors is becoming China Motors
8 Responses to General Motors is becoming China Motors
all fo this is a lie. went to a lot of work to make a good video though
Joe A
Please get some basic research done before speaking, you are totally wrong.
"Last week, GM officials said that the company would spend $11 billion on new factories, new products, and new facilities – including hundreds of new dealerships – in China by 2016.
It's far and away GM's biggest investment of the moment. But GM is obliged to split the bulk of its China profits with Chinese joint-venture partners – in effect, with the Chinese government.
Is this massive commitment really the right course for GM?
"GM's partner is a state-owned automaker
Bloomberg recently published an article comparing GM's push in China to Toyota's investment in U.S. expansion during the late 20th century. In some ways it's an apt parallel – GM, like Toyota, is building a big on-site presence in a massive growth market just as business is booming.But in a way, there's a big difference. Unlike Toyota in the U.S., GM is obliged under Chinese law to be a partner (technically, a junior partner) in joint ventures with Chinese companies in order to build cars in the country."
Excellent point, Joe Brooks.
If a US corporation wants to sell in China, it must manufacture in China. China gets the jobs, furnishes the raw material, packaging, advertising, etc.
US stockholders may gain dividends, but that is about all.
It is high time the US took some similar measures.
"It is high time the US took some similar measures."
Is the time when GM sells China made Buicks here? You know, China loves Buicks…
Better they make them here than ship them here. If we, the US consumers, are willing to buy Chinese Buicks, we certainly are better off with having the assembly jobs.
One of the most disheartening things going is the sight of those enormous ocean transports offloading their vast array of manufactured goods (cars in particular) while former middle class factory workers are lining up for food stamps.
"… while former middle class factory workers are lining up for food stamps."
GOP will do their best to get rid of the Food Stamps or whatever they call it now AND also get rid of the Industries too…to Asia…
I wish it could be reduced to politics.

Taking a break from the summer heat
- Canada Travel Tips
- |
- Tuesday, 30 April 2013 07:41
When the sun is out and the weather gets warm, visitors to Ottawa might need a quick respite from the downtown area in the form of a swimming area or grassy knoll. Luckily, there is a wide variety of natural attractions throughout the city, as well as along its outskirts, that offer just that to families who want to go for a swim, picnic or simply take a hike.
Leamy Lake Park
Located in nearby Gatineau, Leamy Lake Park is a public beach that is open from mid-June to Labour Day, and allows swimming between 10:30 in the morning and 6:30 in the evening when life guards are on duty. The lake is pristine, and well-kept by the parks department which tests for bacteria every two weeks.
Washrooms and parking are available in and around the park, while visitors who are less interested in swimming and more inclined to take advantage of other outdoor activities will have no shortage of options in this area. This park offers archeological sites that reveal the history of the area that has been occupied by a variety of cultures throughout the past several millennia.
Bird watchers and volleyball enthusiasts will be satiated by the offerings of the park, while parents travelling with little children will also be treated to a play area. The park opened in 1961 and sits on 174 hectares of beautiful land right on Leamy Lake, as well as the Gatineau and Ottawa rivers.
This park is accessible via bicycle and walking as well as by car.
Rockcliffe Park is located in Ottawa and was once the property of Rideau Hall builder Thomas MacKay, a master stonemason who helped build the Rideau Canal. This park spans 137 hectares, while the rockeries are 2.65 hectares. Visitors can find this unique and magnificent locale on the Rockcliffe Parkway between Princess and Acacia avenues.
Picnic areas, parking and washrooms are all available at this park, which also offers a beautiful view of the Ottawa River. Officials believe May is the best month to visit the park, although it is truly wondrous throughout the year, and is often used as a location for outdoor weddings.
Recreational paths and tour buses help bring visitors to this park, while daffodil bulbs number in the hundreds of thousands. Visitors to Ottawa should take a few days to explore the beautiful natural attractions of the nation's capital city.

THE BURNING LEGION HAS COME. Led by the mighty Archimonde, scores of demonic soldiers now march across the lands of Kalimdor, leaving a trail of death and devastation in their wake. At the heart of the fiery invasion stands the mystic Well of Eternity -- once the source of the night elves' arcane power. But now the Well's energies have been defiled and twisted, for Queen Azshara and her Highborne will stop at nothing to commune with their newfound god: the fiery Lord of the Burning Legion...Sargeras.
The night elf defenders, led by the young druid, Malfurion Stormrage, and the wizard, Krasus, fight a desperate battle to hold back the Legion's terrible onslaught. Though only embers of hope remain, an ancient power has risen to aid the world in its darkest hour. The dragons -- led by the powerful Aspect, Neltharion -- have forged a weapon of incalculable power: the Dragon Soul, an artifact capable of driving the Legion from the world forever. But its use may cost far more than any could have foreseen.
The second novel in an original trilogy of magic, warfare, and heroism based on the bestselling, award-winning electronic game series from Blizzard Entertainment. less

At the 55th Annual Grammy Awards he will be competing in a category which includes a motion picture score and three legendary musical acts.
The Austin-based musician's 2012 album "Go Fly a Kite" is nominated for "Best Boxed or Special Limited Edition Package" along with the soundtrack from "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo," "Ram"(Paul McCartney Archive Collection-Deluxe Edition), "Some Girls" (The Rolling Stones-Super Deluxe Edition) and "Woody at 100" (The Woody Guthrie Centennial Collection).
Kweller will attend the 2013 Grammys at the Staples Center in Los Angeles on Feb. 10. Hosted for the second year by LL Cool J, the event will broadcast live on CBS at 7 p.m.
After recording four studio albums, Kweller formed his own production company called "The Noise Company" with "Go Fly a Kite" as the debut CD on his own label.
Now 31 years old, the performer was involved in all aspects of the album, including design (along with his wife, Liz), and publicity.
The intricate CD and vinyl packaging design for "Go Fly a Kite" folds into a diorama. Along with actor Jason Schwartzman and Olympic gold medal-winning snowboarder Shaun White, Kweller launched a comic video promoting the album.
Mike Angelo Torres directed and Arienne Williams and Gray Adkins starred in a steamy music video for "Jealous Girl" from "Go Fly a Kite."
On its release, Warren Miller of Slate Magazine gave a positive review to "Go Fly a Kite."
"Kweller demonstrates everything he's learned in his 15-plus-year career as a singer/songwriter, exhibiting his penchant for infectious melodies, rich harmonies and expertly honed musical arrangements."
Music critic David Okamoto saluted "Go Fly a Kite" as the number one Texas album of 2012. On the KERA Arts and Seek website the critic, whose reviews appear in Rolling Stone and The Dallas Morning News, praised Kweller's latest work as follows:
"My top Texas album of 2012 is Ben Kweller's 'Fly a Kite,' which celebrates every style he has mastered since emerging as the teenage frontman of Greenville band Radish in the early '90s.
In another era, the heartwarming twang of 'Full Circle' and the power-pop punch of 'Jealous Girl' could have landed Kweller at the top of the charts — but this year, he'll have to settle for being at the top of his game."
Reese is entertainment writer for the Herald-Banner.

Dogs, Heavy Metal + Headlocks: 6 Workouts that Won't Leave You Bored
Sure, you can join a different gym, start a new running regimen and trade your desk chair for an exercise ball (good luck with that). But even the most dedicated fitness fanatics among us need a little more than the usual dose of exercise-related excitement now and again.
Whether you're looking for an entirely new physical pursuit to immerse yourself in this year or an occasional diversion to spice up your regular workout routine, we've got five super-fun workouts that won't leave you bored.
Bootcamp with your dog: Get in shape alongside your favorite four-legged friend with Thank Dog Bootcamp weekday morning fitness classes held at San Francisco's Wag Hotel. Dogs and owners alike burn calories, while pooches hone their obedience skills in this twist on the traditional bootcamp experience. A fitness instructor and dog trainer are both present during each session. And for those with dog-envy, you're in luck. The program's borrow-a-dog feature will match you with a canine participant who'll be more than happy to work out with you.
Midnight yoga: Each Friday night, eager practitioners of all levels head to the Laughing Lotus studio in the Mission for a two-hour session that ends when the clock strikes 12. Accompanying live sounds from different music-makers each week range from electronica to the distinctive didgeridoo.
Heavy metal aerobics: Who says aerobics need be accompanied by bubble-gum dance tracks and late '90's trance music? A new high-energy workout from D.I.Y. haven Workshop combines metal and movement. Instructor Donnelle Malnick leads the class in a combination of aerobics and yoga to a sonic backdrop of metal favorites from bands such as Metallica, Iron Maiden and Judas Priest.
Real-life combat and self-defense skills: Self-defense gets seriously hardcore with training in Krav Maga, an international defense and combat system espoused by such highly-skilled groups as the Israeli Defense Force, Israeli Police and over 350 U.S. law enforcement agencies. Newcomers to San Francisco's Bush St. training facility start with level one and progress through advanced levels designed to teach techniques from punches and kicks to specialized headlocks and hair grabs.
Hiking yoga: If you're constantly torn when it comes to choosing cardio or yoga, you can get both in one 90-minute session on Saturday mornings with hiking yoga excursions that alternate steep city hill climbs with yoga breaks. But that's hardly the only reason to try one of these classes this year. Along with the two-bird-with-one stone class ethos, you'll be enjoying San Francisco's many outdoor vistas (albeit while sweating profusely) and have a weekly excuse to explore the Ferry Building Farmer's Market, where classes begin and end.
Wicked Workout: To celebrate its fifth anniversary on January 19, Equinox is teaming up with the cast of Wicked for one very exciting day of working out. Add a little spice to your gym routine with either a spin or boot camp class taught by a surprise actor/actress from the show—extra points if you wear ruby slippers to the gym. Enjoy appetizers, beverages, spa specials, giveaways and a live DJ while you do your thing and then stick around for a special performance from the musical. Friends and family get in for free. If you're not already a member, take advantage of the day's $5 initiation fee. And remember, "There's no place like Equinox."

CNET Editors' review
Your mother uses AOL Instant Messenger. Your spouse prefers MSN. Your office insists on Yahoo. What are you going to do? You could run all those chat clients at once, or you could use Gaim, now renamed Pidgin. Like Trillian, Fire, and other third-party IM clients, this open-source messaging application lets you access multiple IM networks from one window, including lesser-known protocols such as Jabber and Gadu-Gadu.
Pidgin's biggest change is the redesigned interface. The Buddy List can be viewed in Basic or Advanced mode, and the most important features, including the Plug-in List, have been graduated from the Preferences window into their own panes. Twenty-two plug-ins come prepackaged as Pidgin repositions itself as a highly extensible chat client.
The IM features are unimpeachable: smileys (you can find tons of emoticons on the developer's site), file transfers, and multiperson chats. The Buddy Pounce feature lets you automatically perform certain actions (play a sound, execute a command, open an IM window) when a contact signs on or off. Pidgin also gets lots of intangibles right: logging and time-stamping, for instance, are well-executed and easy to access. However, it lacks IP telephony and video conferencing, and there are still some bugs--most notably in the Help menu. Still, Pidgin remains a highly recommended messenging app.
Publisher's Description
From Pidgin:
Gaim is a multi-protocol instant messaging client for Linux, BSD, MacOS X, and Windows. It is compatible with AIM (Oscar and TOC protocols), ICQ, MSN Messenger, Yahoo, IRC, Jabber, Gadu-Gadu, and Zephyr networks.
Gaim users can log in to multiple accounts on multiple IM networks simultaneously. This means that you can be chatting with friends on AOL Instant Messenger, talking to a friend on Yahoo Messenger, and sitting in an IRC channel all at the same time.
Gaim supports many features of the various networks, such as file transfer (coming soon), away messages, typing notification, and MSN window closing notification. It also goes beyond that and provides many unique features. A few popular features are Buddy Pounces, which give the ability to notify you, send a message, play a sound, or run a program when a specific buddy goes away, signs online, or returns from idle; and plugins, consisting of text replacement, a buddy ticker, extended message notification, iconify on away, and more.
Version 1.5.0 offers various account bug fixes and limited file transfer support.

"Good But Not For MSN Users"
Version: Gaim 1.5
It's easy to use with good enough security, not spyware/adware, great custom themes and plug-ins but...
...it crashed every time I tried to log into msn, so what's the point? There are 2 much better chat clients than this I recommend.
"Best multi-client IM"
Version: Gaim 1.5
Simplicity. It's not over-the-top graphically like trillian, but does provide the functionality for the different IM protocols.
MSN issues. I think this is more of a MSN problem but i do get "switchboard" errors from time to time.
"Worthy of your awe"
Version: Gaim 1.5
It has everything compacted into one, and on top of that it has increadably useful things that come standard, like buddy pouncing and aliases. Along with it's built-in added functionality it can have plug-ins which plug-ins are always fun. Possibly one of the best parts about it is that it's simple and takes up very little system resources.
... It crashes sometimes.
"SO IT CRASHES why the FIVE STARS"
Version: Gaim 1.5
Messenger is so much hasstle, it slows down the starting of a computer, and then uses slow Explorer FOR your hotmail account. Gaim uses Firefox to goto your mail, it allows instant access to mail, and reports when new messenges come. I have 2 hotmail accounts which are stored and I can check them both in a minute. You can chat with a messenger contact, this WORKS!!!
This is the Linux version I am talking about for Ubuntu. Which is free and works on wireless and installs easily, and has many other free programs.
Version: Gaim 1.5
Much better chat saving preferences.
The notifications suck. The windows don't flash at times.
"Upgrade to gaim 2.0"
Version: Gaim 1.5
For all of you saying msn is crashing, upgrade to gaim 2.0 beta 5, they fixed it.
"works nice, except for msn"
Version: Gaim 1.5
sign in with all at once
i'm getting the error with msn, as well. hope they fix this.
"A very excellent program. No problems connecting to MSN."
Version: Gaim 1.5
This program is extremely customizable. Uses the default smilies of the provider, but you can change them if you want. I like the larger buddy icons, but if you prefer them smaller you can easily change it. Capable of sending MSN nudges and Yahoo buzzes. Because it is open-source, there are nearly unlimited plugins to add to the functionality. Version 1.5 does not work with MSN, but if you go to their webpage gaim.sourceforge.net, you can download GAIM 2.0 which works with anything.
Since GAIM 2.0 is still in beta, it is sometimes buggy, but it still works extremely well; I don't know much about software and I can get it to run with no problems. It seems that gaim has no yahoo conference-chat capabilities.
"Crashes every time i try to use it."
Version: Gaim 1.5
I know from earlier use that Gaim Messenger is a program that actually works to my advantage.
But this version seems to crazh every single time i try to use it. whats up with that? A program that i know is good from experiense should work. Not crash damnit.
"Crashed every time I tried to use it"
Version: Gaim 1.5
It crashed every single time I tried to connect to MSN. 'GAIM has encountered a problem and needs to close' So it was effectively useless for me. Some minor points: it is nowhere near as intuitive as Trillian, and windows kept popping up all the time. It also took up 16.5 MB of disk space, which seems an awful lot. Finally, it does not come with an uninstaller, which is a minor annoyance. In summary, I'm very disappointed as I had heard good things about this program. I see that other reviews have admitted that it crashes every time it tries to connect to MSN, and have still rated it highly. Fair enough if you don't use MSN, but for me, that renders it basically useless. :(

Mel Gibson's child custody war with Oksana Grigorieva has gone downright Hollywood, because his publicist has gotten into the act.
TMZ has obtained the declaration of Alan Nierob, a long-time publicist who has repped Mel for 15 years.
Nierob's declaration is fascinating, creating a picture of a publicity-hungry girlfriend who loved Mel and loved what he could do for her career.
Nierob, who says he was frequently around Oksana during the three years she and Mel were together, says bluntly, "In my opinion she enjoyed press events more than most of my clients' spouses and significant others."
Nierob's declaration is also important, because he makes the case that after the January 6 blowout fight, Oksana showed love, not fear around Mel.
Nierob recalls a January 27 dinner where Oksana was "joking, laughing and extremely happy."
Nierob adds, "While Miss Grigorieva and Mr. Gibson were dating they often were together and she never appeared reluctant."
And in the parenting department, Nierob claims, "On a multitude of other occasions, Miss Grigorieva commented to me that she believed Mr. Gibson was a 'great' father to Lucia."
Hey Harvey! When I opened the PDF file attached to this article some kind of virus was attached! All these windows began to pop up, tons of them, and then my comp opened a close window box.. it was crazy!!
Someone's hacking you site, Harv!!! Thought you'd like to know!!!
Also, Oksana's disgusting! What mother would not want to be home with their newborn baby as opposed to being on a grueling european press junket?! Are you kidding me!! My wife was a lioness over our children when they were born! Hell, she would make family wash their hands before they could even hold our newborns & they were all natural born & healthy! She would never have taken our newborns off to europe, for fear of them catching ill away from their home & doctors! This woman is a fame whore to the inth degree! WOW!! I can see why they don't want anyone reading Mr. Neirob's statement! Talk about eye opener! This woman's a piece of work!
Oximoran! Stop the nonsense and do what you do best! We all know you are great at tricking men! Good Luck!!! And by the way, Mel can take care of Lucia just fine. He loves this little girl not like you, using her for money and the publicity. Oh, one last favor, we don't want to see your ugly face any more, so............please!!!
I agree with him that she loves the spotlight, she was glowing on TV the other night. I think he has her pegged, other celebs AVOID paps and any negative press. She is all over the place from gun-toting-felon to running with the baby to the coyotes. She is not the "no comment" type, she wants the press conferences and the close-ups.
Publicist? WTF?!? Yeah right, he's an honest witness with no incentives. And I bet most of the "Team Mel" people on here are working for him. It's pretty odd that, in general, only the Mel/Oksana stories on here get over 600 comments and most of them are bashing Oksana.

The "they have to be getting paid for supporting him" rant has gotten old.
Posted at 12:47 PM on Nov 18, 2010 by Bruno
Thou doth protest too much, methinks.
This publicist is only saying what we all observed for many months. For OG supporters to say that he was "paid to say this" is downright stupid. People aren't blind.
We are also not surprised at the "lack of interest." OG was never this "internationally known pianist and artist." No one ever heard of her before she hooked up with Mel. We've been saying this from day one...she used Mel for his fame and financial support. When he finally broke it off with her -- for good -- she wanted as much money as she could get, and public interest and sympathy as a DV victim to use as leverage and to promote her music "career."
Keep in mind, people who knew her while she was younger said she was "VERY determined to make it in the West as a successful music artist." OG also said in an interview that one needed "powerful backing and support to make it in this business."
Isn't this the same guy you Team Wing-Nutters claim convinced Gibson to LIE for those apologies after his 2006 DUI rant?
Her behavior proves EXACTLY what he stated in the declaration -
The most publicity-hungry, selfish user, who's never been a victim of domestic violence, all those claims against him together with the custody war of the baby are just her shameless bargain chips to get more money and exposure out of him after the relation ended.
She is really really ugly inside and out! The day of her self-destruction is near! She has totally gone insane!!!
And I bet most of the "Team Mel" people on here are working for him. It's pretty odd that, in general, only the Mel/Oksana stories on here get over 600 comments and most of them are bashing Oksana.
Posted at 12:44 PM on Nov 18, 2010 by Superman
don't like it go somewhere else, there are loads of ill informed news sites out there.
Thou doth protest too much, methinks.
Posted at 12:53 PM on Nov 18, 2010 by Superman
Honestly, if you can't get a quote right, you really shouldn't try at all.
Date: It is important to note that this declaration was signed on June 24, 2010. So, this is an old do***ent provided to the courts along with Mr. Gibson's initial filing.
These do***ents were sold and are just now seeing the light of day. Maybe to deflect from what is facing Ms. Grigorieva?
I fail to see why a court sworn declaration with supporting photographic evidence from Mr. Alan is any less valid than a court sworn declaration, also with supporting photographic evidence, from Dr. Shelden.
I do find it vastly amusing that despite Dr, Shelden's sworn statement regarding scratches and bruises noted on Jan.7, neither the pediatrician seen the same day nor the internist seen the following day noted the same.
How fortunate they reappeared a few days later when Miss Oksana, still allegedly suffering from incapacitating concussion, went to see her facialist.
I'm thinking Mels Wife "Robin" should get a lawsuit against Oxy for alienation of affection.....Lil Oxy knew he was MARRIED and still latched he self onto him.Just a thought.
Posted at 12:47 PM on Nov 18, 2010 by Jeansgeans
Yeeah, but .. shame __ it doesn't apply in California :)
"Only a few states in the United States still allow alienation of affection lawsuits.
These states, as of 12/2009, are: Hawaii, Illinois, Mississippi, New Mexico, North Carolina, South Dakota, and Utah." ___

I'm in love with this dress! I was worried because I've read from a lot of reviews and deions that PDB dresses run very small, and even girls with my measurements said they had to go a size up....but I took a chance and got the size I usually am (XS) and it fits perfectly! Can't wait to get another one :)
