Johnny Depp in Talks to Star Opposite Angelina Jolie in The Tourist
Jolie + Depp = Hottest On-Screen Couple Ever?
In what can only be described as a match made in Hollywood heaven, Johnny Depp may be Angelina Jolie's next leading man. The actor is in talks to star opposite Jolie in The Tourist, a film that Jolie snatched up when Charlize Theron left it behind. Depp would play the American tourist, a role that Sam Worthington was originally slated for.
The film's had a lot of big names attached to it already (including Tom Cruise, in addition to Theron and Worthington), so I'm trying not to get my hopes too high for this one. But Jolie and Depp together on the big screen could be legendary, and not just because they're both smokin' hot. While I think they'd have some seriously good chemistry, I'd also love to see the talented actors go head to head on the big screen.
Of course, if Depp signs on, it could be a nail in the coffin for Pirates of the Caribbean 4, but how do you feel about this news?

Parranda, coming off back-to-back stakes victories at Gulfstream Park, will attempt to add to her impressive record n the $200,000 Honey Fox Stakes (gr. IIT) at one mile March 15.
After laying down a dawdling early pace in the $150,000 Suwannee River Stakes (gr. IIIT), Parranda swiftly accelerated entering the stretch to secure a clear victory from charging Riposte Feb. 8 at Gulfstream Park.
Although she hasn't run since Oct. 5 and hasn't won since June 20, Juddmonte Farms' Riposte looks to have a decisive class edge over her seven opponents in the $150,000 Suwannee River Stakes (gr. IIIT) Feb. 8 at Gulfstream.
Parranda extended her recent success against other Florida-breds when she took command off the far turn and was never threatened late in the $150,000 Florida Sunshine Millions Filly and Mare Turf Jan. 18 at Gulfstream.
Breeders' Cup winners Dank and Mizdirection, along with Laughing, all of whom won four graded/group races in 2013, represent a deep and deserving trio of grass mares competing to be crowned an Eclipse Award winner.
Wishing Gate and Bad Debt figure prominently in the two Florida Sunshine Millions races on turf Jan. 18 at Gulfstream Park, a pair of intriguing grass tests as Florida-breds get the spotlight.
Dual grade I-winning millionaire Laughing, a finalist for the 2013 Eclipse Award as the nation's outstanding female turf performer, died from colic Jan. 7 at Mid Atlantic Equine Clinic in Ringoes, N.J.
Aqueduct, Gulfstream Park, Santa Anita Park, Winter Scenes, Laurel Park & more. View Slideshow
Showing her affinity for the Gulfstream Park turf, Naples Bay boldly charged between horses in the stretch and pulled clear to win Marshua's River Stakes (gr. IIIT) Jan. 4 in her career finale.
Viva Rafaela, a group I winner in her native Brazil, will try stakes company for the first time on United States soil while facing a full field in the Jan. 4 Marshua's River Stakes (gr. IIIT).
Valiant Girl, given a hedge-skimming ride by Matthew Rispoli, produced a 42-1 shocker in the $100,000 My Charmer Stakes (gr. IIIT) on a good turf course Dec. 7 at Calder Casino & Race Course.
Angelica Zapata will try to register fourth straight stakes victory and first career graded stakes win when she faces a full field of fillies and mares in the $100,000 My Charmer Handicap Dec. 7 at Calder Casino & Race Course
Laughing brings an undefeated record for 2013 into the Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Turf (gr. IT) for trainer Alan Goldberg and owner Richard Santulli.
Local heroine Tiz Flirtatious will do battle with old foe Marketing Mix and European invader Dank in the 10-furlong Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Turf at Santa Anita Nov. 2.
After a pair of starts against males in graded stakes, Canadian classic winner Irish Mission is entered to face other top turf females in the $500,000 E.P. Taylor Stakes (Can-IT) Oct. 27 on the Woodbine turf.
Laughing, half of a Richard Santulli-owned and Alan Goldberg-trained favored entry, led from start to finish and held off a furious charge from stablemate Tannery to win the Flower Bowl Invitational (gr. IT).
Richard Santulli's Laughing has emerged as a middle-distance grass star this year, and hopes to add the Flower Bowl Sept. 28 at Belmont Park to victories in the Diana, Ballston Spa, and Eatontown.
After knocking on the door in four stakes starts since her arrival from her native France, Minakshi secured the first stakes victory of her career Sept. 15 in the $295,952 Canadian Stakes (Can-IIT) at Woodbine.
No Explaining, British newcomer Ladys First, and Solid Appeal head the field nine fillies and mares in the 59th renewal of Woodbine's Canadian Stakes (Can-IIT) Sept. 15.
Grade I winner Better Lucky heads a six-horse field in the $200,000 Noble Damsel Stakes (gr. IIIT) Sept. 14 at Belmont Park, looking to get back on track after a brief respite.
Richard Santulli's Laughing captured her third victory in as many starts this year with a wire-to-wire victory in the Ketel One Ballston Spa Stakes (gr. IIT) at Saratoga Race Course.
Grade I winner Centre Court will face Laughing, Miz Ida, Somali Lemonade, and Hungry Island trying to make it back to the winner's circle in the $250,000 Ketel One Ballston Spa Stakes (gr. IIT) Aug. 24 at Saratoga.
Good things come to those who wait, and so it was that Calumet Farm's Irish filly Starstruck bided time stalking the pace, waiting for the right moment to take home the win in the 47th Matchmaker Stakes.
A determined Laughing (IRE) refused to relinquish the lead in the $588,000 Diana Stakes July 27 over the inner turf course at Saratoga Race Course, leading the all the way for her first grade I victory in a terrific finish.
An international field of fillies and mares is set for the 47th running of the $150,000 Matchmaker Stakes (gr. IIIT) for 3-year-olds and up at Monmouth Park July 28.

Travel Blogs from Virginia City
From Yellowstone to Ennis
... the water was a milky aqua. As you moved around the pool, the water and steam morphed into other shades. The bacteria mats were a vibrant orange, brown and green. The steamy, hot water tumbled down some falls and joined the river. One of our very last sights of the park was an unexpected encounter with some elk. The stag roared and tried his luck with the doe but she rebuffed him and let him ...
Yellowstone, Grand Tetons, and the land of potatos
... and had a vanilla cone dipped in cherry coating at DQ . . . mmmmm. I left there up a very steep (10% grade) mountain pass. As I hit the apex it looked very dark below. I stopped and put on my rain gear again . . . I am glad I did! It was raining hard in the valley and I learned my new waterproof boots aren't . . . Grrrr. I pressed on hoping over the next range it would get ...
So good I am going to do it again!
My lodging last night was inexpensive and awesome (http://mobile.buckst4.com/rooms.php). It had one of those awesome beds with awesome linens.
I slept great! I was up at 6:30 and went to the breakfast and saw a really cool sunrise - see photos.
Breakfast was chef prepared and awesome. Real scrambled eggs, fantastic ham, blueberry muffins, fresh fruit, real ...
We met our first ahole!
... the slides out we are wider than most buses! Also back ins are mostly for travel trailers whose connections are in the rear, where as ours are on the side, so our hose wasn't even long enough! Thankfully my personal Macguiver rigged something up in no time. S we drove into town and got beer, then took one of those cool old west photos! We are getting the heck out of here tomorrow morning. Bob was fuming!
Montana's Birthplace
... the horizon above the main street, commemorating (as such) the five men hung for their careers as bandits, bank robbers and murderers back when the area was first established. Marking the first real crackdown on crime across the newly emerging mining communities, if it wasn't already prominent then this event really put VC on the map. Not maybe the best historical accolade but a sign of the strength of the community, that still pervades today.

Thanks guys for all the kind words. @rimfire- It is hard maple, it was kind of a mishmash of different plans I guess you could say so I guess I should say it half came from my head. @Greedo- the way to make the spring is to cut a slight angle on the bottom of the dog and then glue or screw another thin piece to that bevel, it works very well. @Botanist- Indeed the shoulder vice is set up for left handers, I'm a fourth generation left-hander so there are a lot of neat left-handed things in my family, me, my father and my grandfather are all left handed and so was my great grandfather. So when making something like this it just is second nature to make it for a lefty. lol. -- Greg P, Washington State, http://heirloomfurniture.weebly.com/ |

Men's Wearhouse and Jos. A. Bank may be inching closer to a deal. Men's Wearhouse announced that it had reached a nondisclosure agreement with its rival, setting up talks that could lead to a merger of the two retailers.
Jos. A. Bank has officially rejected Men's Wearhouse's latest $1.78 billion buyout offer. But in yet another twist to the long-running saga between the two companies, in open letter to Men's Wearhouse president and CEO Douglas S. Ewert, Jos. A. Bank said it is willing to meet with its rival.
Jos. A. Bank is in the process of acquiring Everest Topco, a portfolio company of Golden Gate and parent company of the Eddie Bauer brand.
The back and forth between Jos. A. Banks and Men's Wearhouse continues. This time the shoe is on Jos. A. Banks' foot, as the company's board of directors officially rejected an unsolicited buyout offer from the Men's Wearhouse.
Jos. A. Bank slightly increased its net income to $13.6 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2013 from $13.3 million in the same period a year earlier. The retailer also saw its net sales grow about 6% to $247.5 million, from $232.8 million.
Following a heated back-and-forth between Jos. A. Bank and the Men's Wearhouse, which culminated in an ultimatum, Jos. A. Bank Clothiers has terminated its acquisition proposal.
The Men's Wearhouse has rejected Jos. A. Bank's offer to acquire the retailer for about $2.3 billion in a $48 per share all-cash offer, and Jos. A. Banks is not taking no for an answer.
Although JoS. A. Bank saw decreases across the board for its second quarter, president and CEO R. Neal Black focused on the momentum the company seems to have picked up during August.
JoS. A. Bank have appointed Byron "Bud" Bergren to the company's board of directors. Bergren will also serve on the audit committee.
JoS. A. Bank customers did not respond as favorably to some of the company's marketing campaigns as they did in the prior year leading to a total sales decline of approximately 11% in the second quarter ended Aug. 3.
JoS. A. Bank Clothiers teamed up with the Gary Sinise Foundation to give suits to thousands of military veterans as they re-enter the civilian workforce.
JoS. A. Bank Clothiers' reported net income for the first quarter of fiscal year 2013 of $8.1 million, a 45% fall from $14.8 million for the first quarter of fiscal year 2012.
JoS. A. Bank Clothiers reported that its net sales for the fiscal year were $1.05 billion, representing a 7.1% gain as compared with net sales of $979.9 million in fiscal year 2011.
JoS. A. Bank Clothiers has launched a new website for its big and tall customer ......

FORTUNE -- It's much easier to look for a magic solution than it is to adapt to reality. Take energy, for instance. These days "clean energy," also known as "green energy," is being presented as the magic solution for global warming, our dependence on foreign oil, and the BP (BP) disaster in the Gulf of Mexico. Maybe even for warts and bad breath. A typical example of the hype, from one of President Obama's speeches about BP: "The tragedy unfolding on our coast is the most painful and powerful reminder yet that the time to embrace a clean energy future is now."
But embracing a future -- whatever that means -- isn't the same as solving a problem. That's a lesson I learned almost 40 years ago, the first time I realized there was an energy problem in this country. That was during the Arab oil embargo of 1973, which is history to most people but a scary memory to those of us for whom it was current events. We had huge lines at gas stations, a horrible sense of vulnerability, and the same helplessness-and-outrage combo so many people have when it comes to BP. Government price controls, designed to protect people from the higher crude oil prices resulting from the embargo, made a bad problem much worse.
The magic solution? "Energy independence." Sounded great, would fit on a bumper sticker, made for a terrific slogan. We'd finish the trans-Alaska pipeline, drill for more oil, beef up natural-gas production, step up nuclear generation, apply technological wizardry to use our vast coal reserves to generate clean electricity, liquefy coal to reduce our need for petroleum. We wouldn't be dependent on foreigners (except for maybe Canada, then as now our biggest outside oil source). It was all going to be great.
Do those things sound familiar? They should, given that stepping up nuclear generation and cleaning up coal are integral parts of plans to reduce carbon dioxide emissions, though they haven't gotten the buzz green energy's gotten.
Alas, the energy independence thing hasn't exactly worked out. In fact, things have gotten seriously worse. When the Arab embargo hit, we were importing 37% of our oil, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration. When the Shah of Iran fell in 1979, sparking another oil crisis, we were importing 43%; currently it's about 52%.
Flash-forward to the present magic plan. Green energy, which is promoted endlessly by business as well as the government and various pols, is a great idea. It sounds great, and it would be great. But it's being way oversold and will take years -- or decades -- to have any major effect.
That's because green energy is starting from such a low base. Wind power, solar power, and biofuel, the three most-highly touted new technologies, together accounted for less than 3% of U.S. electric generation in 2009, according to the Electric Power Research Institute, a nonprofit group.
So even when we step up production sharply, we have a long way to go before they make a serious impact on the overall electricity situation. "I think it's going to take 20 years for these technologies to mature, provided that the economic conditions are attractive," says Revis James, director of the institute's technology assessment center.
Even if we had windmills on every front lawn, we'd still have an energy problem, because vehicles account for so much of our oil use. And green technologies aren't without economic or environmental problems. We'll be outsourcing lots of green-product manufacturing to low-cost places like China, which will help their economies, but not ours.
Then there's the whole lithium question, which is integral to stepping up battery-run vehicles. Imagine our becoming dependent on countries like Afghanistan -- not exactly a model of stability -- for an essential mineral.
So now, you ask, since I don't believe in a magic solution, what should we do? It's easy, though not politically palatable. You put a heavy tax on electricity, gasoline, and other energy sources whose use you want to discourage. You make that tax refundable -- at least quarterly, maybe even monthly -- for people who can't afford it.
Of course, nothing like that is likely to happen. Because "Raise prices, support some energy research, but don't shove solutions such as compact fluorescent bulbs down consumers' throats" doesn't make for a good bumper sticker or sound bite. It's not magical. It's just right.

The National Weather Service has issued a series of warnings with the approach of a line of storms preceding a cold front. Damaging winds in excess of 60 mph and heavy rain have been reported.
The latest severe thunderstorm alert for the county remains in effect until 1 p.m. today.
Stalking is a crime that is rarely cited or prosecuted, according to the National Criminal Justice Reference Service, which has identified January as National Stalking Awareness Month.
Throughout the year, area law enforcement receive many stalking and harassment complaints, officials said, but compared to those numbers, relatively few stalking cases are opened.
In 2011, Kentucky State Police Post 4 in Elizabethtown opened 12 stalking cases, said Norman Chaffins, public affairs officer.
Fire officials were searching for clues to the cause of a Monday morning fire that claimed two lives in the Rineyville area.
Hardin County Coroner Bill Lee said the bodies of Houston "Butch" Beswick, 44, and Carol Crain, 49, were found inside the single-story home. Autopsies performed Tuesday confirmed that smoke inhalation was the cause of death.
The bodies were recovered from the rural residence in the 800 block of Long Hollow Road a few hours after fire crews arrived.
The vision of Martin Luther King Jr. lived Monday at Pritchard Community Center through the eyes of students and the words of a Fort Knox soldier, who called on the audience to lean on the redemptive power of love and find forgiveness in the midst of pain.
Two new library branches in Nelson County are on schedule to open this spring.
The New Haven branch will open about six weeks before a location across the county in Bloomfield.
"We are excited to report we are on time and on budget on both branches," said Val Downs, president of the Nelson County Public Library Board of Trustees. "We have not encountered any setback financially or the time standpoint."
The Rev. Larry Vance has been stabbed four times. A prison inmate put out a hit, offering a reward to have Vance killed. Vance has looked square into the face of an inmate who promised to return to Elizabethtown and kill his children. He has a suitcase full of homemade weapons confiscated from jail and prison inmates.
After 35 years of service with the Kentucky Ministry for Crime Prevention Inc., Vance, 66, is resigning as chaplain and executive director of the ministry.
Doug Ray might not be in when potential customers stop by to view his livestock.
His number is posted on the outside of Duke's Tack Shop in Stephensburg in case he's visiting friends at the gym, fishing or otherwise enjoying his retirement.
"It's a sad way to run a business, but it's an old-man business," he said.
The 70-year-old began running the store about 10 years ago and raising geese, horses, donkeys and goats to fill his retirement hours.

Blue Angels grounded because of federal cuts
The U.S. Air Force plans to ground about a third of its active-duty force of combat planes and the U.S. Navy cancelled the rest of the popular Blue Angels' aerobatic team's season because of automatic federal budget cuts.
The Air Force didn't immediately release a list of the specific units and bases that would be affected on Tuesday, but it said it would cover fighters, bombers and airborne warning and control aircraft in U.S., Europe and the Pacific.
A top Air Force leader said the branch would focus its budget and resources on units supporting major missions, like the war in Afghanistan, while other units stand down on a rotating basis.
"The current situation means we're accepting the risk that combat airpower may not be ready to respond immediately to new contingencies as they occur," Gen. Mike Hostage, commander of Air Combat Command at Joint Base Langley-Eustis, said in a statement.
As news trickled out that the Navy had cancelled the remainder of Blue Angels' season, business owners and residents of the coastal enclave where the team is based expressed resignation and disappointment.
"I just think it's sad that there are political games being played. I doubt the Blue Angels are even half of 1 percent of the entire Navy budget," said Lloyd Proctor, co-owner of Blue Angel Hot Tubs in Pensacola. Proctor and his wife named their business after the team 10 years ago.
When the Blue Angels take to the skies, their fans flock to Annapolis. The performances here draw huge crowds. Barney Parrella has taken in the show for decades.
"I think that is very unfortunate it's the highlight of the event," Parrella says.
Some here are angry with Congress for not working out a budget deal to keep the angels aloft.
"I think they should take a cut in pay and let the Blue Angel fly," says Annapolis resident Gale Noguera.
But even here some believe the government needs to save money wherever it can.
"I would rather have them cut back on defense spending than any type of domestic spending," says Annapolis resident Bob Harwood.
A spokesman for the Navy said team members would be allowed to fly minimal hours to maintain flight proficiency in the F/A 18 fighter jets, but the six-jet squadron would discontinue group practices for the remainder of the season.
The Air Force says, on average, aircrews 'lose currency' to fly combat commissions within 90 to 120 days of not flying and that it generally takes 60 to 90 days to conduct the training needed to return aircrews to mission-ready status.
Returning grounded units to mission ready status will require additional funds beyond Air Combat Command's normal budget, according to Air Force Officials.
"Even a six-month stand down of units will have significant long-term, multi-year impacts on our operational readiness," Air Combat Command spokesman Maj. Brandon Lingle said in an email to The Associated Press.
For affected units, the Air Force says it will shift its focus to ground training.
That includes the use of flight simulators and academic training to maintain basic skills and aircraft knowledge, Lingle said. Aircraft maintainers plan to clear up as much of a backlog of scheduled inspections and maintenance that budgets allow.

This player has not hit any home runs.
Much of the data on Baseball-Reference.com's Home Run Logs comes from the Tattersall/McConnell Home Run Log, a database of all homers hit in the major leagues since 1876. This project was begun in the 1940's by John C. Tattersall and was continued after Tattersall's death in 1981 by Bob McConnell, one of SABR's original 16 members. David Vincent, another SABR member, has since assumed the leadership of the project. Baseball-Reference.com has licensed this remarkable database from the Society for American Baseball Research. All credit for the data therein goes to the intrepid researchers who digitized this data from archival sources.
For years from 1914 to 2013, RetroSheet play-by-play data has been used whenever the home run occurred in a game for which we have complete play-by-play data.
There are a handful of cases where the home run logs totals do not agree with the totals on our player pages. We are working to reconcile all of those differences, but believe that in all cases the Home Run Encyclopedia is correct.

Not content with tormenting the public with his sharp-witted jibes � for each show Julian will be joined by the most entertaining names on his celebrity speed dial, who will be popping in for a cosy chat and a thorough grilling. Audiences can expect intimate revelations, gorgeous costumes and a raffle: A meeting of the W.I. in a sex dungeon kindathang. Not suitable for children, OAPs or anyone called Nigel.
Much-loved homosexual and elder statesman of the double entendre, Julian remains one of the country�s most popular and least predictable entertainers. In the past year Julian�s career has gone from strength-to-strength. He has completed a smash-hit UK tour of Position Vacant: Apply Within, lent his sharp tongue to the judging panel on Your Face Sounds Familiar (ITV), shared an insight into his 30 year career in showbiz on Piers Morgan�s Life Stories (ITV) and terrorised the audience at The Jonathan Ross Show (ITV) with a cattle prod! And he�s not done yet.
Since winning Celebrity Big Brother in 2012 Julian has also appeared on TV favourites such as Would I Lie to You? (BBC 1), Q.I. (BBC 2) and Live at the Apollo (BBC 1) and remains a regular panellist on BBC Radio 4�s Just a Minute. He is also a Sunday Times best-selling novelist and his third book, Briefs Encountered, was published in March 2013 to unanimous praise.

Only five more neighborhoods to conquer in Saints Row 2. Don't know what I will play next if I finish this up in the next week. Maybe some Doom game? Maybe FEAR? Don't know yet. Might just go back to Minecraft.
GTA V does have some boring shit. One of the missions is giving me serious dejavu and I can't place it. Rockstar just has no clue how to do multi-player. I really can't believe how good it looks, though. Could have passed this off as for the ps4, to me.
One more neighborhood left in Saints Row. Finished all of the gang missions, so all that us left is an Ultor mission. There might be more than that, but that is all that see on my mission list right now, so I will go with that. I saw that they want the gangs to cripple each other before they move in and take over the city like New Detroit in Robocop. But that can all wait until tomorrow.
Having more fun, now. Been playing as Michael, and just doing "Sims-with-Guns" gameplay. It's nice the whole map is unlocked from the beginning. The landscape makes for interesting gaming. Playing as Michael, I play golf and tennis. Otherwise, I'd play a little more as Franklin. I like the in-game games. Too bad I can't rock-and-roll on the pig-shooter game. That'd be rocksauce. I've uncovered more than half the map, now. With GTA-V, exploration is fun again! I couldn't do a whole lot of exploration in GTA-IV. Seemed everytime I'd just get in a car and drive, I'd get a call from one of my "friends" who would wanna go drinking or something. I know I could reject their requests, but that'd lower their liking towards me. I know that, in GTA-IV, it's integral to have good relations with these people, as they provide services, if I need them. Did the jewel heist, tonight. If I can get away with not using cheats, I will, but trying to escape the cops with a four-star wanted level was too much to handle. (I chose the "loud" route, so I had to do the bit where I capture the LS tactical squad van. That was a killer. Pun 36.2% intended.)
I agree. I personally still like GTA-IV better than Saints Row. Actually, I just don't really care for the SR franchise. The first one was pretty weak, and it soured me on the second one. Tried the second one for a short time, and I got really bored with having to take this long-ass walk across town as opposed to having a car to hop into and go. I also didn't like the SR garage system. I know it allows for more access and storage. You can park all cars in just one garage, but I prefer GTA's system for saving cars. I know. Who'd ever imagine me preferring the more realistic storage system?
The longer GTAIV went on the less I wanted to play it. The more Saints 2 goes on, the more fun I have playing it. Plus, mid-mission checkpoints. They have made tough missions so much less frustrating. Plus, no social requirements to keep characters in their good graces. Saints 2 for the win.
I think you'd like GTA V even if you didn't like 4. The car chases and shoot outs are intense. I went the silent route on the jewelry heist and the getaway was easy.
Really, GTA V is the closest GTA has come to the 'GTA I always wanted'. And mission checkpoints help a lot. Once you get three stats and the chopper comes out its brilliant. I also like how your car doesn't catch on fire after so much damage, making GTA car chases far better than ever. No more having to switch cars mid chase.
Can't play GTA V, really. In coming close it fails. I've no interest in the mini-games they brought back. Entire missions spent doing mini-games for yoga; dock work; torture; its dull. When there is action, or a car chase, its a great game. I also can't stand trying to get me to sympathize with, or like these characters. There is way too much dialog and I just don't care. It reminds me of Red Dead Redemtion. Captivating at first, and when its good its great, but the characters are unlikable and the game peaks in the first few hours. I will try again but for now its just another highly rated Rockstar dissapointment.
After two or three Rockstar games failing to grab me, I learned to just stop buying them. They all receive 10/10. Everyone loves them. They just don't click with me. Then again, some people would say I have immature tastes. On that note, I am really enjoying The New Super Mario Bros. 2.
And what's with the shoe in for next gen? It would be a first for Rockstar to release a game again, would it not?
When I get online with GTA its all ten year olds dropping N-bombs like their GTA heroes. I don't think GTA players can point fingers.
Not exactly sure of the question but yeah, there is at least one torture scene complete with stupid mini-game. They're trying to make a point about the government condoned torture we saw happen recently but fail. They are trying way too hard.
Nah, the GTAs are pretty prolific. It happened with Vice City and San Andreas so there's no reason not expect the trend to continue.
No it didn't. Vice City and San Andreas got ported to the ps3 in the ps2 classic section. Rockstar never RE-released an HD version or next gen version. They are exact ps2 ports that your ps3 will upscale but that's it. I bought Vice City. Your PSN button won't even work while playing them, or PSN itself. They are not next gen RE-released games.
Except for Bully getting a 360 version Rockstar has never released a next gen version... If they do release a ps4 version of GTA V, it will be a first. On top of all that Ps2 classics are submitted to a team at Sont for porting. So Rockstar just submitted the game, they didn't touch it.
Ah, I thought you were talking about availability. I don't expect an improved version for next gen per se, just a port with bug fixes and extra content. Or, as in the case of Vice City, they will polish the engine a bit and release a new game. Either way, I'm waiting.
All I know is it didn't help Vice City because the enhancements came for the PC and Xbox, I think. I mean its nothing at all more than a port. It's the version that released on the ps2. It's more playable on the PC because that old school control scheme for the control pad is hideous. I don't see the point in waiting on GTA but meh. Unless you don't want to pay full price.
Bingo! By the time the price drops to what I want to pay I'm sure it'll be out on next gen. I'm reducing my box count and I have a crazy backlog of games to get through.
I can't trade up or ditch my old console this time. For one I regretted getting rid of my ps2 too soon. The other being I have too many games I can't replace that are not coming to Next Gen; at least not for years.
Beat XCOM, the ending was underwhelming. But overall one of the better surprising games of the year, far better than Valkryia Chronicles. I'm at the part in GTA5 were you rescue the guy from the IAA and turn over to the FIB.
You're one mission away from where I just turned my console off mid mission... Depending on how you choose to advance. I really want to get into the game but fuck I was bored and insulted. I could handle one or the other but both together and I just turned my box off. The worst is knowing I have to repeat it if I want to continue.
I really liked the mission were Franklin and Trevor go buy drugs and it turns out to be a hustle. I have seen drugs deals go bad like that, took me back to when I lived in South Central. I shall say no more.
Have you been doing optional stuff and leveling skills? Unless a game give me clear windows to do so I feel like I'm missing crucial game elements. Maybe if I stop and do sand box stuff for a while I will relax and enjoy it more.
And that's a good comparison: At least GTA does that sort of biting social commentary and satire well. Far Cry 3 did it and sucked at it. This was the vulgarity combined with boredom that made it hurt.
Well I've assembled an all legendary pokemon team in Black 2, each with 600+ stats. It consists of Zekrom, Kyurem, Giratina, Latios, Heatran, and Hydreigon. Each level 70 or higher. I realize this doesn't mean much to non-pokemon nerds, but it's quite effective and fun. They're all dragons too, except for Heatran. Heatran's job is to kill Ice types, the bane of dragons. Dragons are resistant to all of the elements such as fire, water, grass, electric. And there's a Dragon/Psychic and a Dragon/Dark in there to take care of other random types. Pretty much all bases are covered as long as Heatran takes out any Ice types out there. Kyurem does an alright job vs. Ice too.
I'm going to get Pokémon X or Y. So you'll have me to talk with. I haven't touched a Pokémon game in 10 years. My friend is getting me back into it.
That makes three of us, then. Wow. Three of us playing Nintendo games at once. The GSF is coming to an end.
An online friend of mine got Borderlands 2 last week and we started playing last night. Stopped at 1:15 AM, went to bed, it took me more than an hour to fall asleep, woke up several times, then at 6:45 for work and now I have a headache. No regrets though. This game is so much better with friends, and people who have similar goals while playing. I'm so tired of random matchmaking.
I take so much time to make so little progress, with a lot of quick saves. I'm not really scared, just tense about dying and having to replay parts of the game. It's dumb. I started Saints Row the 3rd, and am thinking about Frapsing the non-story missions. But that will have to be later after my parents get up for the day.
Occasionally I hate the fact that my internet is too shitty for real online gaming... but it is free, which is hard to pass up.
It might be a next-gen jump, but they went all-out when releasing GTA Double Pack for Xbox. Everyone I knew who liked GTA-III and Vice City for PS2 loved them even more on Xbox. The graphics boost alone was enough for them. Then, the addition of custom soundtracks. Then again, you are talking about next-gen; not current-gen-on-a-better-console. What about the release of Chinatown Wars on PSP? It was almost a completely different game on the PSP. Different interface, fully-rendered environments (though characters were still cel shaded), and a few different added missions, radio stations, and something. Still playing GTA-V, but I think it's really the side-shit that interests me. Most missions end in failure, my yelling "Jesus fucking Christ," and punching my controller in frustration. I'm an unskilled gamer, and the fact tutorials early in the game are not accessible in any sort of in-game guide for later reference makes the missions just that much more frustrating. (How the hell do I do a stealth takedown, again??? SHIT!!!)
I really want to try the new Pokemon, but I don't feel like buying a 3DS. So with that in mind, which one of the previous DS compatible versions of Pokemon is the best?
I finally finished Bioshock Infinite. I still hold to my original view that it is a story in search of a videogame, but wow, what a trippy ending. I actually had to go online and search to try and understand all the dimensions of the ending.
Saints Row the 3rd. That one female enemy that teleports is really unbalanced and annoying. Hate that bitch. My phone keeps ringing with side quests too. Too many helicopters trying to kill me. Other than that, still a good bit of fun to be had.

Top Advance Fee/ Prepayment Scam: Nonexistent Loans
Most of the scams advertise online and promise things like no credit check or easy repayment terms. Then the hook: you have to make the first payment upfront, you have to buy an "insurance policy," or there is some other kind of fee that you have to pay first to "secure" the loan.

Blog Posts Address World Humanitarian Day
The following blog posts were published in recognition of World Humanitarian Day, which was observed on Sunday, August 19.
Trending on kff Consumer Resources Dual Eligible Marketplaces
The following blog posts were published in recognition of World Humanitarian Day, which was observed on Sunday, August 19.
On World Humanitarian Day, recognized August 19, "United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon has highlighted the power of individual actions to spark global changes, and praised the work of humanitarian workers who provide assistance to vulnerable people around the world," the U.N. News Centre reports (8/17). In a press release, "UNICEF called on all parties in conflicts around the world to allow humanitarian workers safe, unimpeded access to reach children and women in need" (8/19). "World Humanitarian Day gives us the opportunity to show our appreciation to the thousands of workers … who are working every day in difficult circumstances," the WHO writes in an article on its webpage, noting, "Health is one of several critical dimensions of humanitarian response, and the sustainable recovery of people under hardship" (August 2012).
In a post in the Guardian's "Comment is Free" blog, Kristalina Georgieva, the European Commissioner for International Cooperation, Humanitarian Aid and Crisis Response, writes that World Humanitarian Day, observed August 19, "is a day to pay tribute to all humanitarian personnel who have lost their lives in the line of duty and to all those who continue to take risks to relieve the suffering of the less fortunate." She continues, "Humanitarian work is one of the world's most dangerous professions. Kidnappings, shootings and death threats are all part of the job description in places such as Sudan, Syria, Somalia and others blighted by conflict," adding, "Those who work in this rocky terrain are increasingly exposed to risk while maintaining a lifeline to the victims of wars and disasters."
"The first case of cholera has emerged among thousands of people in an impromptu refugee camp in eastern Congo who fled fighting between a new rebel group and government forces backed by U.N. peacekeepers," according to Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF), the Associated Press/Washington Post reports (Muhumuza, 8/3). The first case was detected on Friday, and since then at least nine people have died of the disease, MSF said, according to Al Jazeera (8/5).
North Korea's official Korean Central News Agency on Friday reported that nearly 170 people have died, 400 people are missing, and more than 84,000 people are homeless because of severe flooding in the country, the Guardian reports, noting that the World Food Programme (WFP) "announced on Friday the details of its first batch of emergency food aid to the country, although it did not state when it would arrive" (8/4). "WFP said it would send emergency assistance comprising 'an initial ration of 400 grams of maize per day for 14 days,'" Reuters notes, adding the statement said a recent U.N. mission to North Korea found significant damage to crop fields.
"The situation of 170,000 Sudanese refugees living in camps and settlements across South Sudan's Unity and Upper Nile states is alarming and there are worries about an outbreak of cholera, U.N. refugee agency officials said on Friday," the Associated Press/Washington Post reports (8/24). "'With the current rain and cold, we are seeing refugees suffering from respiratory tract infections, diarrhea and malaria,' a spokesperson for the Office of the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), Adrian Edwards, told reporters in Geneva," the U.N. News Centre writes (8/24). "Most of the refugees are young children — accompanied by mothers who are also sick — with almost half in the Upper Nile state under the age of 11, said UNCHCR," Agence France-Presse notes (8/25). The New York Times' "Lens" blog profiles the Intensive Therapeutic Feeding Center in South Sudan's Batil refugee camp, where "[a]s many as four young children die … every day, according to Doctors Without Borders" (Sobecki, 8/24). In related news, IRIN examines an "urgent need for mental healthcare" in the country, where "decades of civil war have resulted in widespread trauma, and the chronically underdeveloped nation is struggling to provide facilities, staff and treatment for those in need" (8/27).
"Philippine authorities appealed Thursday for help in getting relief to two million people affected by deadly floods in and around the capital, warning that evacuation centers were overwhelmed," Agence France-Presse reports (Morella, 8/9). "The capital city, Manila, has received two months' worth of rain in the past 48 hours, leaving much of the 12-million-person metropolis under water," Deutsche Welle writes (8/9). BBC News reports that at least 19 people have died and more than 80,000 are in emergency shelters (McGeown, 8/8). According to CNN, "U.S. Ambassador to the Philippines Harry K. Thomas said Tuesday that the United States would provide $100,000 for disaster relief" (8/8).
UNICEF on Wednesday "warned that thousands of acutely malnourished children in Somalia are at risk of death because little money is available to help them," VOA News writes, adding, "UNICEF said it has received only 12 percent of its $289 million emergency appeal for humanitarian operations this year." "The famine declared in southern Somalia last year is over," but "Somalia remains the world's most complex humanitarian situation," the news service writes, noting that UNICEF "reported that almost one-third of Somalis are unable to meet their essential food and non-food needs."
U.N. Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs Valerie Amos on Thursday "called for strong leadership and a comprehensive response plan, as well as donor support, for the food crisis in West Africa's drought-prone Sahel region, warning that hunger could lead to a humanitarian catastrophe," the U.N. News Centre reports (5/24). Amos "met with President Macky Sall in Senegal and Blaise Compaore in Burkina Faso on a four-day trip to west Africa to examine the impact of the food crisis," Agence France-Presse writes. "We can do more to avoid the crisis from becoming a catastrophe in the region but to save more lives we need strong leadership … and continued generosity from the regional and humanitarian community," she said, the news agency notes (5/24). The U.N. Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, which Amos heads, said that in addition to food aid, "priorities for those in need of assistance include health care and water and sanitation services," according to the U.N. News Centre (5/24).
Kansas City's KCUR 89.3 FM reports on the 2012 International Food Aid & Development Conference, where experts gathered this week to discuss food aid programs. The news service writes, "The challenge for governments, aid agencies and recipient countries is to create a collaborative food aid system that accommodates both the needs of the U.S. agriculture industry and growing food insecurity among a mushrooming population," and quotes a number of experts who spoke at the event.

Evidence of failure: is it just me?
Lynn | Sep 17, 2009 | Comments 4
The usual practice is for folks to hang pictures, plaques and awards on their walls as a reminder of their greatest successes. Trophies line their shelves along with souvenirs of great experiences.
At the end of Amazing Grays-Amazing Grace there is a chapter that describes my greatest failure in life. Until the words appeared on the paper I wasn't even aware of what that failure was. It was a big one.
I find that I am most blessed by having about me reminders of my greatest failures. Keeping evidence of my failure close at hand serves me so much more than does any prize, degree, or memory of great success. In my study there is a picture of a horse and me. On a shelf below is just one of the bronze trophies he won for World and National Championships. The picture reminds me of miserable failure. The bronze is not a memorial to the amazing day it was won, but just more evidence of how I screwed up.
In that failure I am reminded of the grace I receive daily and how I am equally called upon to give the same to others. The awards of success build us up, allowing us to experience the height of achievement again and again in memory. The reminder of failure brings me closer to God. Knowing that, I am better served by evidence of failure, rather than success.
Is it just me?
Share and Enjoy

Yeh I agree Lynn. Praise God for failure. If it wasn't for that I would never have known the Lord. Thank God for failure and the opportunities they give to start again more intelligently and, as you say, get closer to the Lord.

Bogus assertions in letter advocating gun-control laws
Congratulations to Bob Carr (April 18 letter, "A ban on assault-style weapons would save lives") for all his bogus assertions. If the National Rifle Association is wrong, Mr. Carr should explain why Chicago's murder rate is 13.4 percent, while Vermont's 1.2 percent and Texas' is 4.4 percent. The fact is that 98 percent of the time an honest citizen uses a gun, he never fires it. Do the math; the NRA's position is based on FBI statistics, not movies. When laws are enforced, they generally work if they make sense. The 1999 Columbine shooters also brought bombs. Does Mr. Carr want to discuss bombs right now?
Hunters do use AR-15s, and I haven't seen anything indicating they are less mentally competent than Mr. Carr. This country has witnessed two confiscations of registered firearms — one in California and one in New York City, both in the early 1990s — and nothing in recently enacted bills says it won't happen again.

The manager and his wife were superfriendly and helped out with everything. Nice apartment, unfortunatelly too close to the street and traffic. Perfect location smack down in the middle of Hollywood. Too bad for us there was a lot of construction going on but good news for future tenants whom will have a brand new complex to stay at.
We had a great time and absolutelly recomend Andy to anyone who wishes to find a place to stay. Thx Andy and thx to your crew.
Everything was perfect!
Great location, clean apartment, quiet neighbors. We will recommend it to friends.
Thank you Andrew.

During our stay renovation of the apartments began and a new wifi was installed which was a great improvement. Location is perfect. Just one block away from major bus routes and metro station. Would definitly stay here again.
Perfect location, clean but run down, bad beds and blinds the list goes on and on, wireless was fine
My son loved the area! Convenient location to restaurants clubs and shopping as well as public transportation.
Great place, great location. I would definitely stay here again.
John was an amazing host! Stayed for 2 months, place was clean, and the whole process was super smooth and easy. Tony, the building manager was extremely helpful and always there if I needed him. Highly recommend staying here !

Abstract: This paper presents a hand biometric system for contact-less, platform-free scenarios, proposing innovative methods in feature extraction, template creation and template matching. The evaluation of the proposed method considers both the use of three contact-less publicly available hand databases, and the comparison of the performance to two competitive pattern recognition techniques existing in literature: namely Support Vector Machines (SVM) and k-Nearest Neighbour (k-NN). Results highlight the fact that the proposed method outcomes existing approaches in literature in terms of computational cost, accuracy in human identification, number of extracted features and number of samples for template creation. The proposed method is a suitable solution for human identification in contact-less scenarios based on hand biometrics, providing a feasible solution to devices with limited hardware requirements like mobile devices.

I found this company after searching the web for specific band products i.e. The Foo Fighters and which sold XXL sized clothing.
The user friendly interface enabled me to find what I wanted, and ordering was simplicity itself.
Additionally delivery was to time!
Finally, take time to examine their full range of clothing which is available for a whole host of bands.
This product was purchased,as a gift, for my daughter and son-in-law to suit their specific tent.
They had tried purchasing this particular item at the usual outlets, but without success.
I took up the challenge, using the inetrnet, and quickly found on the OutdoorWorldDirect website, exactly what was required and even better at an excellent price.
Order processing was swift and delivery quicker than expected.
Daughter et al chuffed to beans!
All round, the right product supplied at an excellent price, and delivered well within the published timescales.
The Home Skittle Set was purchased specifically for family entertainment over the Christmas period.
The packaging and delivery service was second to none and ensured a high quality product was delivered as ordered and in perfect condition.
It's easy to set up and to play for all age groups and is so much (simple) fun!
I can't wait to see my children and grandchildren enjoying themselves after Christmas lunch with something that doesn't need a screen or batteries....
