Killzone: Mercenary Review
When the PS Vita was first announced, minds raced and shooter fans rejoiced at the prospect of seeing their favorite FPS series finally play properly on a handheld device. Of course, games like Call of Duty: Roads to Victory and Resistance: Retribution were released to satiate the bullet-crazy appetite of hungry PSP owners, but the physical limitations of the device—both the lack of a second analog stick and its weaker processing power—drastically affected the way in which these games could be played on the go. Early on in the Vita's young lifespan, we've seen a shooter released from both of the aforementioned series. Coincidentally, both Resistance: Burning Skies and Call of Duty: Black Ops Declassified were developed by Nihilistic Software. Looking at that company's track record (now under the name "NStigate Games"), it's much less of a surprise that both of those games turned out to be underwhelming, with Black Ops Declassified universally considered to be one of the worst games on the entire platform.
Thus, gamers who had played either of those were wary when Sony announced that a third AAA shooter, Killzone: Mercenary, would be coming to the Vita, but early footage looked far more promising than any FPS on the system to date. In addition, the title's development would be handled in house by Guerilla Cambridge, a sister studio to the creators of the console Killzone games. Perhaps it's fitting that for a system struggling to climb out of a slump with shooters, Sony turned to what may just be the "most improved" series on the market today. Killzone: Mercenary continues that trend, as it's one of the best-playing shooters to ever find its way onto a handheld.
As the name suggests, Killzone: Mercenary's protagonist Arran Danner isn't as overtly righteous as one might expect from a traditional soldier. After a horribly botched mission and the loss of a close friend, Danner's work as a gun-for-hire quickly thrusts him into a massive war erupting between the ISA and the Helghast. Not only that, but after multiple hostage rescues end with complications, Danner's morality and motivations are tested.
This exposition sounds like it would lead to a deep, political thriller following Danner as he attempts to stop the loss of millions of lives, but Killzone: Mercenary's roughly seven hour-long campaign barely taps into its true potential. The plot moves forward at such a rapid pace that it's almost impossible to gauge why some events are happening. We may know that an event has happened, but to truly place it within the context of an ongoing narrative (both within the game and the entire series), it would require a greater amount of time focusing on events and the characters driving them, but perhaps it's best that the latter was not the case; Killzone: Mercenary features some of the blandest characters I've encountered in years. In addition to the completely silent Arran Danner, the many villains and all but one of the game's supporting characters feel like caricatures as opposed to real people. Attempting to make the sensitive plot work in harmony with the characters would have been a sight to see, but unfortunately, this isn't the case.
However, as mentioned earlier, Killzone: Mercenary is one of the best playing shooters available on handheld. Even with a fairly boring plot to drive Danner's actions, the game feels very close to what one would expect from a full console release. Aiming and firing Mercenary's assault rifles, pistols, shotguns, submachine guns, rockets and sniper rifles feels excellent, with a reduction in recoil to compensate for the Vita's smaller analog sticks. Hit detection is also impressive, although a few unusual scenarios (one involving a tank gunner) led to some minor frustration.
To utilize the PS Vita's control scheme to its fullest—and to compensate for some of its shortcomings—Killzone: Mercenary remaps some traditional shooter functions to places that feel a little foreign to longtime fans of the genre. Triangle, for instance, does not switch weapons; instead, the right d-pad button handles this function, and triangle is used for both contextual actions and for instigating melee kills, which are finished with a swipe of the touch screen. Mercenary also avoids the common mistake of over-using the touch screen to validate the game's existence on a portable platform. It's only used for melee attacks and interrogations, hacking mini-games, and a few "VAN-guard" attacks, chosen in loadouts and occasionally available as drop-pod devices to deal extra damage. The game not only manages to translate all console functions to a handheld, but it simplifies actions that would otherwise be a chore on the Vita's big brother. During the bulk of the campaign, these Vita-specific features aren't especially important, but they help to establish Killzone: Mercenary as the first Vita shooter to perform two necessary functions: it's instantly familiar to console gamers, but it could only exist on the Vita platform.
Of course, with a name like "Mercenary," it makes sense for the game to put a heavy emphasis on making the big bucks throughout each mission. Players receive money for shooting enemies, using stealth, or even the occasional combo explosion kill, but they're also rewarded for replaying missions in the form of contracts. Much like the recently released Splinter Cell Blacklist (free of all colons!), Killzone: Mercenary utilizes a few different play-styles, each offering unique challenges and objectives over the course of a mission. However, unlike Splinter Cell Blacklist, Killzone: Mercenary is a very fast-paced game; stopping to complete very specific tasks just isn't very fun.
While undoubtedly technically superior to both Black Ops Declassified and Burning Skies, Killzone: Mercenary is by no means a technical marvel. Draw distance is very impressive, especially considering the high number of long-distance shots present due to the game's excellent level design, and cinematics smartly ditch the game's engine for pre-rendered scenes to set up missions. However, Killzone: Mercenary also suffers from some problems that are both familiar and new to the PS Vita. Fire and explosions still look atrocious, almost as if they weren't finished, and "brutal melee" kills that should look, well, brutal, are not very detailed. The frame rate can also take an occasional dip, but this problem is limited to just a few areas. That's not to say that Killzone: Mercenary looks bad, but when stacked up against the breathtaking Uncharted: Golden Abyss, it leaves something to be desired.
Perhaps Killzone: Mercenary's best feature is its online multiplayer mode. "Perhaps," because during play-testing for this review, I encountered a grand total of zero people to play with. This is obviously not the game's fault, but all multiplayer impressions I was able to take away were from the beta that began a few weeks earlier. It showcased a multi-leveled map called "Shoreline" and ran extremely smoothly. In fact, everything looked just as crisp as the game's campaign, and "Warzone", the beta's showcased mode, offers a variety of objectives such as interrogating injured enemies, hacking terminals, or grabbing "valor cards," a feature highly reminiscent of the "Kill Confirmed" mode in Call of Duty. It's a shame that this couldn't be tested further, as Mercenary's multiplayer looks to be the star of the show. Should the final multiplayer drastically alter from what I experienced, the review score will be amended.
It isn't as polished as its console counterparts, but Killzone: Mercenary is definitely worthy of a shooter-hungry Vita owner's money. Even though it's tough to get over some of the cheesy dialogue and cookie-cutter characterization, Guerilla Cambridge accomplished its goal: this is a solid first-person shooter on a portable system optimized and desperate for the genre.
Invisible Gamer's Killzone: Mercenary review was based on final retail code provided to us by Sony.

Hi Tom, Right now, writing an evolution backend requires quite a knowledge of how evo works and it's internal api, (and I find it's not really that well documented). It would be nice if revolution would allow us to write calendar/task/contact_book backends in pure ruby. V. Seguí
Add A Comment:
Date: 2005-08-11 08:23 Sender: Vicent Seguí Hi Tom, I've found this page wich talks about implementing a backend (among many other things about evo): http://go-evolution.org/EDS_Architecture#Calendar It seems quite straightforward (no dbus/corba magic). I just have a doubt on how we can make a ruby binding, Since it's eds calling us this time, every function would have to call our class, which means that every class we have must have it's own module. E.g. class MyCalBackend < Revolution::Backend end Then the makefile will have to generate a libMyCalBackend.so that we must place in the appropiate dir. I have a feeling this is clumsy, but I otherwise see no way around it. V. Seguí
Date: 2005-08-10 20:54 Sender: Tom Copeland Cool, sounds good. Good stuff is happening with Evolution these days; it's cool that Tor is porting it to Windows as well. He's cleaning up all kinds of things along the way, it seems. Yours, Tom
Date: 2005-08-10 20:34 Sender: Nobody Hi Tom, I've just checked the list and it seems that there is an EDS port to Dbus on track(*), so I think we can wait until that gets in (it seems like it will be soon). OTOH, eds backends can be built from libraries or CORBA. (*) http://lists.ximian.com/pipermail/evolution-hackers/2005-Augu st/006189.html
Date: 2005-08-10 14:25 Sender: Vicent Seguí Hi Tom, From what I've gathered CORBA is only needed for hooking UI plugins into evo. e-d-s backends are normal libraries AFAICT. I know the guys from planner (http://developer.imendio.com/wiki/Planner) have built a backend to integrate planner and evo, maybe they could give us a clue, boiler plate code, etc. V. Seguí
Date: 2005-08-10 12:39 Sender: Tom Copeland Hi Vicent - Yup, there's been some discussion of that on evolution-hackers as well. I guess it's a pretty tricky job, even in C. I wonder how it would be done in Ruby. Don't the e-d-s implementations use a CORBA interface to get the method calls? Any idea if Ruby has a CORBA binding thingy? Yours, Tom

Speaking with reporters in Buffalo Tuesday, Cuomo said that "this nation has been debating this for 30 years. You know how many thousands of people have died?," Cuomo said. "When people say this has been done quickly, this has been actually, painfully slow."
HEAR GOVERNOR CUOMO's Remarks with local reporters
On Guns, Tonawanda Coke,
Malcolm Smith & More On the NYS Budget at the University at Buffalo |
Among other things, the law outlaws a broader array of military-style weapons, restricts ammunition magazines to seven rounds down from 10, and makes New York the first state to require background checks to buy bullets. Mental health professionals are now required to tell state authorities if a patient threatens to use a gun illegally.
Because gun manufacturers don't make 7 bullet magazines, the budget vote allowed larger ones to be used, but mandated they still carry the smaller amount of bullets. Voting last week also exempted law enforcement from the ammunition maximum limits.
Lawmakers completed passage of the $135 billion budget late Thursday night, three days before the March 31 deadline.
Cuomo and legislative leaders call the spending plan a family-friendly, business-friendly and middle-class-friendly budget.

Amid the Bohol earthquake that claimed 161 lives and injured thousands of our kababayans, there is something that's making rounds online.
What's with the commotion?
60 years old Freddie Aguilar admitted that he is madly in love with his 16 years old girlfriend. Yup, no typo there, Aguilar is really 60, and his confirmed girlfriend is 16.
60 to 16, that's something most of us would be mistaken if you'll just hear the number, isn't it? But please don't get me wrong, everyone deserves to be happy, and as the sayings said – in love age doesn't matter. Having said that, let's continue with the news.
Photos of the "Anak" singer with a young girl are flooding the social media sites with Filipino netizens pitch their reactions, all in contribution to make this news as a headline.
The young girl on the photo however was not yet confirmed if she's the confirmed girlfriend of the legendary folk singer. The first two photos was seen Aguilar and the girl kissing, while the third photo shows the two directly facing the camera.
The said photos was posted by a certain Angelica Rosario whom facebook account said that she lives in Singapore. As of this writing, it is not confirmed if the uploader is really the girlfriend of the singer or what is her relationship to the couple. Aguilar have not yet disclosed her name on any interview.
The singer claimed that he didn't know that his girlfriend was a minor until he got deeply in love with her.
"Nung malaman ko, sabi ko, 'Andun na, eh. Ano pa ang magagawa ko?' Aatras ka ba noon, eh na-in love na?" – the singer told on a pep.ph interview.
What's the girl's parent said?
"Tanggap na rin siguro. Sabi lang daw sa kanya, 'Mag-ingat ka diyan, babaero daw 'yan!'" – Aguilar said when asked about the reaction of his girlfriend's parents.
Meanwhile, Filipino netizens shows their mixed reaction about the news.

The amount of money borrowed on a loan.

A mortgage accelerator program helps you pay off your Glossary Term: mortgage faster. This option can reduce the amount of Glossary Term: interest you pay. It can also reduce the duration of your loan by a number of years.
During the early part of the loan's term, more of your monthly payment is applied toward interest expense. By paying a little extra toward your Glossary Term: principal every month, you could reduce the duration of your loan and save significantly on the amount of interest you pay over the life of the loan.A common mortgage accelerator strategy is to make one-half of your regularly scheduled monthly mortgage payment every 2 weeks instead of one payment each month. This helps in 2 possible ways: First, depending on your lender, the principal may be credited to your account faster, so you'd pay less interest. Second, you'd end up making 26 payments per year, the equivalent of 13 months—it's like making an extra payment each year.
There are 2 ways to undertake a mortgage accelerator program: use a lender enrollment program or set up your own payment plan.
Your Glossary Term: lender might offer enrollment in a bi-weekly payment plan as one of the terms of your home loan. This could be a hassle-free way to contribute more toward paying down the principal on your home, especially if you make automated mortgage payments. Some lenders charge administrative fees for certain plans. Make sure you understand the details of the plan.
If you can afford to make additional principal payments, you could save a lot of money in interest in the long run. But before you implement your own plan, here are a few things to consider:

The B.C. government shut down a small Okanagan ski resort Sunday after four people were injured when a chairlift broke and three chairs fell six metres to the ground below.
Squamish will be rocking to the sound of top touring acts Arcade Fire, Eminem and Bruno Mars this summer.
Organizer Thor Froslev was "elated" with the results of Sunday's 28th annual bald eagle count in Brackendale. Late in the afternoon, even though all the results were still not in, more than 1,000 of the magnificent raptors had been counted by about 70 volunteers that were out and about in the area.
Just in time for the holiday and Counter Attack season, Mounties on Friday released a list of their most alarming and, at times, downright bizarre impaired driving stories.
Arno Kopecky was convinced that something crucial was missing from the debate on the proposed Northern Gateway pipelines project. "The whole argument was sort of a disembodied argument that was being reduced to statistics and numbers and economic impact statements," says the Edmonton-born writer and journalist, who lives in Squamish, B.C.
B.C. municipalities are raising concerns over a proposed federal policy change that would allow First Nations bands to buy land and create satellite reserves anywhere in B.C. — even if they're not next to their traditional territory. A report to Metro Vancouver Wednesday warns the changes to the so-called "additions-to-reserve policy" would allow residential, commercial and industrial development in cities across B.C., resulting in the loss of land, taxes and costs associated with servicing agreements.
A National Hockey League player who hails from Port McNeill on northern Vancouver Island is embroiled in a controversy over the shooting of a grizzly bear in an area of the B.C. coast that aboriginals have declared off-limits to trophy hunting. Clayton Stoner, a defenceman with the Minnesota Wild, issued a statement Tuesday after The Vancouver Sun obtained photos of him with the severed head and a paw of the grizzly he shot last spring in the Kwatna estuary, midway between Bella Coola and Bella Bella.
Vampire Weekend frontman Ezra Koenig is admittedly a much different person than the Columbia University student who appeared on the cover of Spin in 2008, just a few weeks before the release of his band's mega-hyped self-titled debut.
"The old world is gone and the new world is here." That is how Queens of the Stone Age frontman Josh Homme describes his post near-death life.
Her name is Power and she is the symbol of hope and despair for the recovery of grizzly bears in southwestern B.C. She is an adult female who quietly crossed the Sea to Sky Highway last fall at Whistler, ventured into 194,650-hectare Garibaldi Provincial Park and continued to the park's southern limits in the upper Pitt River Valley, where she fed on spawning salmon.
For extreme skier Rory Bushfield, life after death has meant running away to join the circus — a real one, though not in a conventional, three-ring sense, and a plumb-the-depths, reality TV one. Like his late wife, Sarah Burke, who did not really become a household name in Canada until her passing in January 2012, Bushfield, who lives in Squamish, is creating a name for himself by doing what he and 29-year-old Sarah, a pioneering halfpipe skier, did best.
On the surface, Rosalind Groenewoud appeared like any other spindly teenager corkscrewing off the halfpipe under the lights at Canada Olympic Park.
Justin Dorey is talking about his sport, freestyle halfpipe skiing, where the free part was, and in some quarters still is, as much about embracing the culture – drugs, booze and hard partying – as it was about the freedom to fly, twist and double cork before, hopefully, landing upright.
The Canada Revenue Agency says the Rick Hansen Foundation improperly issued a $1.8-million tax receipt to Rick Hansen for donating rights to his name to the foundation, The Vancouver Sun has learned. In an Oct. 12 letter to the foundation, CRA's charities directorate says it has "concluded that (Hansen's donation) does not meet the definition of a gift."
Stephen Harper's Conservative government has washed its hands of environmental assessments of nearly 500 projects in B.C. as a result of a revised Canadian Environmental Assessment Act.
Andrew Fraser of Squamish, the winner of the $1 million grand prize in the Variety Children's Charity Lottery, is facing criminal charges after allegedly hitting a fire hydrant with his brand-new sports car and flipping into a ditch with three teenaged passengers along for the ride.
A man and woman were killed Wednesday in an avalanche while backcountry heli-skiing south of Nelson, B.C.
A young Canadian mountaineer has landed at the centre of an international storm after he and his American climbing partner scaled Argentina's legendary Cerro Torre — once considered the hardest peak on Earth to conquer — then arbitrarily removed many of the 400 bolts that had been drilled into its dizzyingly vertical rock face more than 40 years ago, when controversial Italian climber Cesare Maestri completed a history-making but helicopter-assisted first ascent to the summit.
Raj Sherman has lived a lifetime's worth of political drama in the past year, as the one-time Tory junior health minister leaked e-mails attacking his own government, faced a whisper campaign about his mental health and was punted from the PC caucus.

Home > Research Legal Advice > Tax > Can my ex wifes boyfriend claim my kids on his taxes if he is living wit...
I dont know what to do about this situation.
You have not provided enough information. However here are some of the issues.
If your ex wife has agreed that you may take the personal exemption deductions for your children, then you will take the exemptions on your income tax return (regardless of whether the boyfriend does too). Your ex-wife could have agreed to grant you the right to take the dependent exemption in a decree of separation/divorce or by way of IRS Form 8332. You may also be able to take the child tax credit.
Otherwise, the issue is somewhat technical and is heavily dependent on the specific facts and circumstances. Are you the custodial parent or is your ex-wife? Does the boyfriend provide support for both your ex-wife and your children, or does your ex-wife have income and does she support the household?
You probably do not need a lawyer for help with the tax problem, but you should consult a local tax professional. Of course if custody, child support or enforcement of a marital decree is an issue, you will need the help of a local family law attorney.
Are you paying for the support of the kids? Did you have an agreement in the divorce as to who would claim the deduction? If you are paying for more than 50 percent of the support and your wife agreed that you could take the deduction, have her complete an sign a Form 8332 releasing the deduction to you.

My daily diet is a fountain of knowledge & a example of what not to do.
Breakfast is 3 cigarettes & a cup of coffee. Lunch is usually a steak salad & chips or a beef/chicken burger. Dinner is whatever I end up having but usually unhealthy & fast because I spend most weeknights at 12 step meetings so don't often cook. |

Leverage All Your Data
Turning data into profit with Teradata Unified Data Architecture
White paper
Highmark is moving to an EDW through consolidation of data warehouses and a phased approach, thereby making strides toward their ultimate vision.
Average 4 out of 5
As one of the largest health insurance companies in the country, Highmark Inc. understands the pressures of serving its customer base, stabilizing costs, and preventing fraud. The $8.1 billion non-profit company, headquartered in Pittsburgh, needed to find ways to understand its cost drivers better so that it could hold the line on premium increases – thereby retaining customers, enhancing its competitive position, and protecting its financial strength.
The organization has a long history of finding innovative ways to use information technology (IT) to support its operations and report on basic business trends. Years earlier, the company created Health Care Informatics Research and Analysis (Informatics), a group of scientists dedicated to leading-edge research and analysis on health care and insurance issues. Its claims processing operations and financial organization were state-of-the-art, among the best in the industry. Supporting these Highmark departments was a powerful IT infrastructure, including three data warehouses used to track claims information through traditional finance and analytical processes: Adjudicated Claims Experience (ACE) stores adjudicated claims information from the former Pennsylvania Blue Shield part of the organization in addition to other claims. Used primarily to support finance operations and account reporting, this warehouse has run on a Teradata® solution for 13 years. Highmark Information Warehouse (HIW) stores information about adjudicated claims, client and member detail and summary data. Used primarily to provide sophisticated business intelligence to the company's analytics group, this warehouse runs on a Teradata solution. Historical Finance Data Repository (HFDR) stores financial data for adjudicated claims, earned income and cash in addition to summary client and member data. Used for financial reporting, it runs on an Oracle solution.

However, because these three warehouses were created to support the business needs of individual organizations, the queries run through them often produced different, sometimes conflicting, results. The same claims data was frequently stored in each warehouse, creating redundancies and consuming corporate IT resources. In addition, the claims data used for analysis was too dated to produce the type of meaningful results the company needed to make decisions that would enable it to stay ahead of the competition.
These three data warehouses clearly were not the most effective way for Highmark to enhance corporate performance. In 2002, Highmark's Informatics group partnered with its Information Services Group (ISG) and Finance department to plan a new solution: an integrated enterprise data warehouse (EDW) that could share information among those three user communities. In unifying the business information in one high-powered solution, Highmark expects the EDW to deliver the analytical capabilities and research results that will provide new business insight and a single view of the Highmark organization – thereby supporting better, faster decisions.
The first phase of the new EDW, called Medical Experience Subject Area (MESA), is being implemented by Highmark in four phases on a 12-node, 7.7 terabyte (TB) Teradata solution comprised of coexisting 525X and 5380 nodes. Using an extract, transform, and load (ETL) tool from Informatica, Highmark is in the process of populating MESA with claims data. The new warehouse will ultimately store all claim and claim-like (capitation, rebates, etc.) information from initial submission to final payout in addition to the General Ledger and Claims Billing transaction lifecycles. Ultimately, MESA will become an active data warehouse (ADW).When this is complete, updated information will trickle into the EDW on close to a real-time basis, which will allow Highmark to make better, faster decisions based on data that is merely hours old.
Highmark's plans for MESA are based on the company's successful experience building its previous data warehouse solution, the Highmark Information Warehouse (HIW). This data warehouse, which was also built on a Teradata system solution, has already delivered valuable, quantifiable business benefits and is supporting new business processes that were previously impossible. For example, new, in-depth analyses are enabling the company to understand its business and the marketplace better. Fraud detection capabilities are improving, with Highmark recovering more than $9 million in fraudulent payments in 2003 alone – roughly four times the amount recovered in the year before the Teradata systems were implemented. Predictive analysis processes will prevent three times that amount from ever being paid out on fraudulent claims.
The solution is also helping Highmark to provide better service to its members as well as to the companies that procure members' health insurance coverage. Medical management of members' chronic conditions is becoming more proactive – which protects members' health, enhances their workplace productivity, reduces medical expenses, and controls premiums for the coming year. Highmark has used the system to expand profitably into new lines of business. For example, Highmark now offers managed-care Medicare programs for senior citizens.While many other insurers failed with similar endeavors, the data has helped the company make the product profitable, despite the fact that it is offered in Allegheny County, whose population of seniors is the second highest in the country. Highmark has also used the HIW system to pursue new business opportunities in areas such as provider network management services and consulting.
Yet, for Highmark to continue achieving its current and future business objectives, HIW could only be a first step. Highmark needed an enterprise view of operations – one supported by technology that reaches across the three corporate data warehouses. MESA, the project currently under way, will help Highmark build enterprise business applications and deliver an enterprise-wide view of the organization. As the benefits of MESA and the solution become widely known throughout the organization, the MESA support team within Highmark envisions even greater opportunities to use the Teradata solution to help the company succeed. "The solution has been a big benefit to Highmark already," says Tom Tabor, Highmark's chief information officer. "I know that Highmark will benefit from it well into the future."

Quendall Terminals is simply too big
Thanks to the Renton Reporter for its newsworthy hearing notice article about the proposed Quendall Terminals development project next to the Seahawks and Barbee Mill.
This massive project will significantly change everything in the City of Renton and adjoining neighborhoods forever.
The proposal includes one-quarter million square feet of office space and 800 residences in seven-story towers, all on 21 acres. In contrast the overall scale of the project is much larger than the Seahawks training camp and closer to the Boeing assembly building.
Now is the time for the public to comment on the DEIS. Public comment period ends Feb. 9.

I purchased this to carry my Glock 23 as a backup instead of on my ankle. The only bad thing is that depending on how you are sitting it can dig into arm pit. Besides that, a great purchase.
Even if you don't carry a gun, you could keep a knife, extra magazines, cuffs, etc.

Welcome to week 15 of our AP Power Rankings. This will be my last week handling the bulk of this project as I will be passing it off to one of our other panelists to see it through to the end. It's been a pleasure to bring you these each week.I want to thank all the Rankers for all their help throughout the year!
The Saints were able to keep their strangle hold on the top spot with the Colts right behind them. I don't know how you really decide between these two teams. Both are playing fantastic football and are a mere 3 victories away from making NFL history. If that happens they will forever be linked. Yes, the odds are still long but can you imagine a Super Bowl with the 18-0 Colts and the 18-0 Saints? Two prolific offenses and two of the games best QB's? Talk about drama...but we get ahead of ourselves.
There are a couple of other teams that may have a thing or two to say about a Saints vs. Colts Super Bowl and they would be the Minnesota Vikings and the San Diego Chargers. They are numbers 3 and 4 in our rankings and are both playing great football. Rounding out the top 5 is a scrappy Bengals squad who will be playing with a heavy heart this Sunday following the death of wide receiver Chris Henry who passed away this morning. The Bengals will face a red hot Charger team in a game with big time seeding implications.
The Chiefs sit at a lowly 28 in the rankings and hope to jump up a slot or two with a convincing win over the Browns this Sunday at Arrowhead.
Go Chiefs and on to the Ranks.
1 |
Saints |
The last bump on the road to a perfect season is this week. The mystique of the Superdome should be the difference maker as they go 14-0. |
2 |
Colts |
They find ways to win. |
3 |
Vikings |
The state of Minnesota had a big sigh of relief after the Vikings dismantled a very good Bengal team. |
4 |
Chargers |
They've won 8 in a row and are playing mistake free football. A tough game against an emotional Bengals team will be a fun one to watch. |
5 |
Bengals |
The Bengals got a healthy does of how they are going to have to play to go deep in the playoffs. The offense has got to get some spark or it could be a one and done for Cinci. |
6 |
Definitely got hot at the right time. First NFC Wildcard is there's for the taking. This is not a team the front runners are going to want to see come playoff time |
7 |
As per usual the Eagles are showing up in time for the playoffs. |
8 |
Denver |
21 catches (NFL record) by Marshall and they still can't beat the Colts. If they lose against the Raiders, the Wildcard may fall out of reach. |
9 |
Only one game ahead of the Phins and Jets. They have a must win against the Bills this week if they want to stay in the playoff picture. |
10 |
It's just not fair. The Cardinals get a bye week every other week of the season. |
11 |
The December woes continue and the schedule is not forgiving. |
12 |
They are in a tight race against the Pats and Jets for the playoffs. They face a red hot Titans this week. |
13 |
The giants may sneak into the playoffs, if not for an easy schedule down the stretch, then for Tony Romo's December woes. |
14 |
With Jacksonville floundering, the second Wild Card is Baltimore's for the taking. |
15 |
Bad, bad loss for them. They are in deep trouble. |
16 |
Titans |
Johnson will get to 2000 yards but it won't be enough to get the Titans into the playoffs. |
17 |
Jets |
They are still in the hunt for the playoffs. They have to beat the Falcons this week. I thought all chance was gone. They proved me wrong. |
18 |
Falcons |
We will see what the Falcons really are down the stretch as they have a soft schedule. Injuriesdo play some part in their downfall but it isn't the whole story here. |
19 |
They might be a player in 1010 with a new coach. |
20 |
You can't take away the fact that the 9ers have heart. And Vernon Davis. Don't forget him either. |
21 |
What is there left to say? The Steelers have totally fallen apart. Consecutive losses to the Chiefs, Redskins, Raiders and Browns. Ouch! |
22 |
Bills |
They won't make the playoffs but they can attempt to spoil the Pats chances. |
23 |
You have to wonder where the Panthers would be if they sat Delhomme a lot sooner in the year. With a good defense and great running game you have to think they would at least be in the hunt. |
24 |
Jay Cutler through his 21st and 22nd interceptions of the year last weekend. Can he make it to 30? I don't think there is a ceiling to his suckitude. |
25 |
Redskins |
You have to hand it to the Skins. They've continued to fight all year. |
26 |
I would like all you APers to give a big "Welcome to rebuilding" to our friends in Seattle. |
27 |
Raiders |
Instead of trusting the rest of the season to their number one overall pick, Oakland went to the scrap heap and picked up former first round pick, J.P. Losman and this Sunday will start Charlie Frye. With Russell now their number three QB on their depth chart, it's easy to say, Oakland has moved on. |
28 |
Chiefs |
Game of the Decade, this Sunday, Arrowhead Stadium. |
29 |
Browns |
After 6 straight years of losing to their biggest rival the Browns have finally gotten that monkey off their back, hopefully renewing one of footballs greatest rivalries. Next monkey: Eric Mangini. |
30 |
Dante Culpepper sucks. |
31 |
This team has a long way to go, probably longer then any other team in the league. They are an NFC South doormat, as they have no divisional wins. |
32 |
It was awful nice of the Rams to spot the Chris Johnson's..err...I mean Titans 2 TD's and 150 yards in the first quarter. |

Rocket Juice & the Moon
Rocket Juice & the Moon
The project of Damon Albarn, Tony Allen, and Flea, Rocket Juice & the Moon began when the three musicians met on a plane in 2008 when they were going to Lagos to work with Albarn's Africa Express collective. Realizing how much they all had in common, the three musicians made plans to record when they could, and by late 2010, they had nearly finished their first album. The group made its live debut nearly a year later, in October 2011 at Ireland's Cork Jazz Festival, and played another gig a few days later as part of Another Honest Jon's Chop-Up, which was a celebration of the record store and label of which Albarn is a co-owner. Chicago's Hypnotic Brass Ensemble, Detroit DJ Theo Parrish, and Malian singer Fatoumata Diawara were among the players in the concerts, and all but Parrish ended up performing on the album (other contributors included Erykah Badu and West African rapper M.anifest). Rocket Juice & the Moon's self-titled debut arrived in March 2012 on Honest Jon's Records. ~ Heather Phares, Rovi

User Review: Therm-a-Rest Men's ProLite Plus
Source: bought it new
Price Paid: $40 (Hot Deal)
Great pad, comfortable, and warm.
- Extra padding
- Requires multiple foldings to pack the pad for backpacking
I sleep cold. I remember being comfortable only when I was sharing a double bag with my husband. With a renewed interest in backpacking we decided to upgrade our sleeping systems. I tend to go toward the ultra light way of thinking and so I chose to purchase a short version of the ProLite Plus. My pad weighs 17 ounces which is more then my old closed cell pad, which I cut off short as well. Some folks will say they don't like their feet hanging off but it doesn't bother me. Of course I am not sleeping in sub-zero degree weather.
Recently we did a short weekend trip. The overnight temperature dipped to 28 degrees Fahrenheit and we were using a tarp shelter. I have to say that under these conditions in the past I would have been mighty cold and I probably would have put more clothes on but the combination of my sleeping bag, an REI 20 plus degree down fill, and my Therm-a-Rest ProLite Plus kept me toasty.
I really like the way you can air up the pad so that it is very firm. I tend to blow extra air in and adjust after laying down for a while to get the right comfort.
On the down side it takes several foldings and air being let out for the pad to get small enough for packing. I see that is a regular complaint, so I think it is just the extra foam that causes this problem.
Overall I would recommend this pad. Therm-a Rest pads are a little pricey which is one reason why I have not purchased one in the past. If you are going to spend more then a couple of nights on the ground you deserve a sleeping pad that will help you rest better.

Safeco Insurance Company of America Complaint - Safeco Doubled My Insurance Premium After The Start Of The Policy!
Review by
Toni I.
Comments (4)
BOCA RATON, FLORIDA -- A little more than 5 weeks ago, I switched my automobile insurance policy from Progressive to Safeco because Safeco initially offered me a cheaper premium.
I was paying $359 for a six month policy with Progressive, but after checking out the rates of other companies online, I decided to switch to Safeco because they quoted me a six month policy for $294. I truthfully and completely filled out the online application, disclosing the only blemish on my driving record, which was a speeding ticket (63 MPH in a 55 MPH zone) which I received 3 years ago in New Jersey.
I cancelled my policy with Progressive and started my new policy with Safeco on February 9, 2009. On February 17th, a little more than a week later, Safeco increased my premium by $305 to $599! This is more than double the price that they initially offered me! When I called them up to ask why my premium was being doubled, they told me that it was because of a moving violation which I failed to disclose on my application. When I asked them the specifics of the moving violation which I allegedly failed to disclosed to them, I found out it was the 3 year old speeding ticket which I had in fact told them about!
I protested this ridiculous "bait and switch" premium increase and asked them to restore my original premium quote, but they wouldn't budge. They told me that I could simply wait until my policy renewal in August for the moving violation to come off of my record (moving violations remain on your insurance record for 3 years and 3 months) and my renewal premium would decrease. I told them that I would not pay any additional premiums, and I notified them that I would find another insurance company.
After doing some more research, I got a six month insurance premium quote from GEICO for $319. After making sure that they were aware of my motor vehicle record, and that the premium quoted would not mysteriously increase after the start of my policy, On March 9th, I cancelled my automobile insurance policy with Safeco, and started my new policy with GEICO. Even though it has been less than 2 weeks since I became a GEICO customer, I have not yet had any problems or any premium increases from them.
I have one word of advice to anyone who is contemplating switching their automobile insurance company to Safeco based on a cheaper premium quote... DON'T!

you'll be very sorry you change to geico .....
Posted by Toni I. on 2009-03-19:
GEICO can't be any worse than Safeco... or can they?
Posted by RestaurantGuy on 2009-03-19:
Geico will cancel your policy at the drop of a hat. My neighbor was hit by another driver. The police and the other driver both said it was the other drivers fault not my neighbors. Geico cancelled his policy due to the accident stating he was a risk because of the accident. Good luck with them
Posted by madconsumer on 2009-03-19:
resturantguy, that is exactly what they did with me. they dropped me mid term after my vehicle was repaired. claimed i was a bad risk. guess not, 8 years later, i am accident and ticket free.

Open your mind
We mostly use the 'left' functions of our brain thanks to our educational system.
The 'right' part is simply waiting to emerge.
YT: Jill Bolte Taylor: How it feels to have a stroke
Neuroanatomist Jill Bolte Taylor had an opportunity few brain scientists would wish for: One morning, she realized she was having a massive stroke. As it happened -- as she felt her brain functions slip away one by one, speech, movement, understanding -- she studied and remembered every moment. This is a powerful story about how our brains define us and connect us to the world and to one another.
"The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant.
We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift."
Albert Einstein

The actual applique creation steps can be as simple as a few clicks of the mouse, when utilizing the pre-created shapes or done in a more traditional manner yet extremely simplified with the applique digitizing tool, or when utilizing aspects of both auto digitizing and the applique function you give yourself the ability to create a beautiful app with nice traditional stitching intermingled. The steps include importing your artwork, if traditional digitizing. Sizing correctly, outlining your shape with the applique digitizing tool. Selecting your stitch type to border your creation and your done. A very important point here is then utilizing the Save 2 Sew feature, You will want to adjust the density for different material types but turn of the underlay. You can leave the pull comp selected. You do not want to alter the underlay on an app as it is important to the outcome.
AutoDigitizing with Applique III is really a full intensive automated system; it is extremely easy to learn, works well with simpler designs with minimal manipulations, at it certainly will do more intense designs but there must be a realization that a good amount of editing will need to take place. The software is intense as you want to take it. I'd like to explore this a little further.
One of the things I have loved about software in general is that it many times it does more than you or it think it can do. I have always enjoyed trying to manipulate software and trick it into doing what I want it to do. I was brought up this way. My Father viewed this as Play Time and I always followed the formula. In my digitizing house we used to "Make a little time to Take a little time to Play". We stretched the limits of the equipment we worked with and many times can up with some pretty interesting and beneficial or time savings techniques.
Floriani software is great for this, I love this aspect of it. The software is strong and does indeed do things when you apply some simple creative thought and understand what the software will do. There is also an aspect of education that is important but I truly believe that this video driven response methodology, where we attempt to bring the answer of a software technical question to you with a visually hands on approach is so key to your software success. It has always seemed to me that you all know what it is you want to do, just how the heck does the software do it. I and we as a company understand this. I have been an embroiderer all my life. I've run machinery and digitized on more software than most and I know what I always wanted. Software that did want I want it to do and someone to show me how to make it do it. This is indeed our approach to our software. A strong product with, what I believe, almost unlimited amount of control and an approach to education that brings you that, "sat next to" feeling.
I truly love this stuff, enjoy the video.
Hugs and Stitches to You All,

This is so perfect for entertaining or to serve on Game Day. This dip stays soft and warm the whole time, doesn't get cold and solidified like many other artichoke dips I have made. You can make either the shrimp version or the crab version, or even substitute clams if you prefer. Also, I have added a small can of drained water chestnuts on occasion. ** Also, I use my small slow cooker for this recipe and just leave it on all day - think it's a 2 quart cooker ** One more note - one of my girlfriends loved this so much that she made the recipe as is and served it over linguini for Sunday Pasta.

Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/4ltcmw/2012_mobile) has announced the addition of Javelin Strategy & Research's new report "2012 Mobile Security: Android and iPhone are Attractive Fraud Targets in $20B Mobile Payments Market" to their offering.
Smartphone security is an increasing concern as mobile malware multiplies exponentially, and Android's open source platform continues to gain market share over iOS. While most malware has so far targeted Android, which has the largest installed base of users, iOS remains a valuable, if elusive, mark for hackers. iOS users spend more individually and have greater deposits on average than Android users. All smartphone owners demonstrate cautious attitudes and willingness to protect their mobile devices from threats. However their risky behaviors demonstrate a disconnect between intention and know-how. Financial institutions, card issuers, mobile wallet providers, and merchants have a number of options for providing a secure user experience.
Primary Questions
- What is the size of the market for different Smartphone platforms?
- What is the volume of mobile payments made through the browser and app for each OS?
- What are the primary threats facing smartphone purchasers?
- What are the major vulnerabilities of each operating system?
- What can financial institutions, card issuers, mobile wallet providers, merchants, and consumers do to protect personal and payment information on the mobile device?
Companies Mentioned
- Apple
- Microsoft
- Square
- LevelUp
