17-year-old Immanuel Gage Allen was charged Tuesday afternoon with capital murder in the murder of a child under the age of 14.
He's accused of killing 11-month-old Gemma LaShae Moore who was taken from a home on Denise Circle in Albertville. She died last Thursday, one day after Allen's 17th birthday.
Investigators told the court the child died from blunt force trauma to the head.
Meanwhile, prosecutors filed a motion to lower the bond for 24-year-old Bridgett Duncan from two million to ten thousand on her aggravated child abuse charges.
Prosecutors said new information questions just what role, if any, Duncan had in the crime.
"That any information with regard to her would have occurred several days prior to the injuries that were inflicted on death, we continue to evaluate those charges. We'll discuss whether or not those need to be changed, whether or not they need to be raised, whether or not they need to be dismissed. But that decision will continue to be made in the future based on additional forensic information we intend to receive," said Marshall County District Attorney Steve Marshall.
Duncan is now out on bond.
Meanwhile, Allen is currently being held in the Blount County Jail without bond.
Family members say funeral services for Gemma are set for Thursday afternoon at 2 p.m. at the Sanctuary Church in Albertville.

OWN: Oprah Winfrey Network announced today that it has secured the network television rights to Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom, the critically acclaimed film from the Weinstein Company based on the 1995 book Long Walk to Freedom and former South African President Nelson Mandela, starring Idris Elba and Naomie Harris.
OWN has licensed the first broadcast window behind pay television beginning in 2017.
The film chronicles Mandela's early life, coming of age, education and 27 years spent in prison before becoming President and working to rebuild the country's once segregated society.
Idris Elba stars as Nelson Mandela, Naomie Harris stars as Winnie Mandela, with Justin Chadwick directing.
"We couldn't be more honored to showcase this powerful film to the OWN viewers," said Erik Logan, president, OWN. "Nelson Mandela was Oprah's hero, and ultimately, the inspiration behind Oprah's school in South Africa. His story of forgiveness and redemption is a gift not only to the people he touched, but to the world."
Commented TWC Co-Chairman Harvey Weinstein, "We're delighted that this film has landed a television home at Oprah Winfrey's OWN network. Partnering with them ensures the picture will continue to honor the memory of Nelson Mandela for years to come."
Miles Ellison | December 31, 2013 1:19 PM
Two things. By 2017, everybody who wants to see this will have seen it, and most of the audience that has contributed to OWN's resurgence by supporting Tyler Perry shows and sensationalist tabloid garbage probably has no interest in watching it anyway.
ao | December 30, 2013 4:10 PM
2017! Are they kidding? That's 3 years from now. Do they realize that films have simultaneous theatrical and VOD releases? Anything longer than a year from initial release is ridiculous. What's going to be going on with the film in the meantime? Hope OWN didn't pay too much for a 3 year old film, even if it is about Nelson Mandela. Three years is a long time, especially in this fast moving worlds of technology and entertainment.

Hello there,
I built my Flash Lite app using a main structure to load and unload movies, to release allocated memory.
I'm using removeMovieClip method too, to garantee the cleaning.
My tests droping the swfs at "Other" folder and watching the free memory avaiable and the app behavior was successfully.
The problem is, when I packaged the app in a sis file, a strange issue appear.
I'll explain the situation:
When the user finish the 3 stages of the game, the application send him to the end animation (another frame in main movie, unloading the previous). On that window, the user can choose between, click at any place to skip the final animation or wait until the credits list terminate (60 seconds), both options redirect to main menu, unloading the actual movie and reloading the main menu.
So, If the user choose to skip that animation, and start another game immediatelly (up to 60 seconds), the game goes to Main Menu from any point (which means that the tween of credit list is still alive) .
The question is, when I package my app in a sis, the Flash Player just lose the control to alocated memory? It's C++ the owner now?
I'm trying to diagnose my app with y-task, but unfortunatelly when I try to install, it gives me an error "Expired Certificate". I've tried to workaround changing the date time (past and future) of my phone, but it didn't work too

Rockport, MA — Mary Ann Cotton, 90, of Rockport, died Friday, June 14, 2013.
Mary was born to the late John Joseph and Ellen Lillian (Mangan) McGrath, May 12, 1923, in Watertown, Mass. Following the death of her mother in 1926, Mary was raised by her grandparents in Lowell, Mass. Although a teenager with a strict Catholic upbringing, she did frequently enjoy lining up for a dance on the right hand side of the Commodore Ballroom, chaperoned, of course, by her late uncle Joseph McGrath and his future wife, Rita Carragher, both of Lowell, Mass.
After graduating from Catholic high school, Mary studied stenography at Lowell Commercial College. Answering a job posting on the school bulletin board in 1941 began her 45 year career in government service. In the spring of 1945, under the direction of the Secretary of the War Department, she was among a handful of ladies travelling by Navy troop transport on a serpentine course to the Pacific Air Command at Hickham Field, Hawaii. In 1949, Mary was transferred to the Pentagon for two years and then reported to the Commander in Chief, U.S. Naval Forces Europe in London, where she shook hands with Princess Elizabeth, the Duchess of Edinburgh, at the Festival of Britain in the summer of 1951. By May, 1952, Mary transferred to SHAPE's new headquarters at Rocquencourt, France, under the command of General Eisenhower and, that autumn, at the personal request of General Thomas Handy, Mary transferred to the new joint headquarters of the United States Army, Europe, at Heidelberg, Germany. There, she met and married the late Col. Bill D. Cotton in the gardens of Heidelberg Castle in July, 1955. Mary often joked about the drastic drop in status associated with her change from the general's secretary to the lieutenant's wife. Mary put her career on hold to raise her children until returning to the Department of Commerce in Arlington, Va., in 1971 and eventually to the National Marine Fisheries Service in Gloucester, Mass., where she retired in 1986.
Notable memories include celebrity friendships with Jimmy Rogers, Van Johnson and Sammy Davis, Jr. In the 1950s, during a trip to the Vatican City, Mary's commander arranged a private audience for her and several colleagues with Pope Pius XII. In the 1960s, Mary greeted President Kennedy at Otis AFB with her young cousin, the late Mary Rita (McGrath) Parziale.
Mary is survived by two children, Cathleen E. DeSantis of Canton, Ohio and Michael D. Cotton (Kenneth E. Bostwick) of Sparta, N.J. She also is survived by her granddaughter, Jessica (and Mark) Ferguson of Mansfield, Ohio; step-grandchildren, Ashley and Joshua Bostwick of Sparta, N.J.; three great-grandsons, Devin, Dylan and Daniel; and countless friends, colleagues and cousins including Dorothy (McGrath) Evans and her husband, Richard, of Chelmsford, Mass., and James Normandin of Lowell, Mass. In heaven, Mary will be reunited with her long-lost sister, Teresa Agnes McGrath; her cousin, Catherine (McGrath) Normandin and her beloved poodle, Martini.
On June 14, 2013, at 8:15 p.m., Mary was surrounded by her children and her cousins, Joseph McGrath, Jr. and his wife, Rosemary, and Jane Ayres, her husband, Arthur, and their kitten, Angel. As Frank Sinatra crooned "My Way" on the bedside table, her family celebrated her life with outrageous memories, laughter and joy.
Often described as a cross between Jackie Kennedy and Lucille Ball, Mary brought laughter to any party, frequently at her own expense. In recent years, she couldn't always remember the amazing moments in her life, but her children reassured her, "Don't worry, we will remember them for you." Special thanks to the caring staff at Seacoast Nursing Home in Gloucester, Mass.
ARRANGEMENTS: A memorial "Celebration of Life" will be held on September 14, 2013, in her childhood town of Lowell, Mass. A memorial Mass will be held at St. Ann's Church in Gloucester, followed by a brief service at Oak Hill Cemetery at a future date.
Arrangements are by the Greely Funeral Home, 212 Washington St., Gloucester.
Online condolences may be given at www.greelyfuneralhome.com.

In an article in Slate magazine, I set out to answer the question: Why have the litany of Iraq documentaries had trouble in the conventional marketplace? Whether TV or film, most Iraq docs have struggled to find an audience. And whose fault is it: corporations, the media, you and me? There is, of course, several reasons, ranging from the sheer number of titles to the lack of major institutional support to the apathetic American populace.
What is not in the article, however, is the number of ways that filmmakers are using grassroots ways in which to reach people -- whether or not they're making a significant impact. I talked to a lot of filmmakers for the article, and I felt like it would be a shame not to share some of their strategies and thoughts (from my first draft) with an audience. So here you go...
Robert Greenwald, who has masterminded the grassroots approach with the release of agit-docs such as "Outfoxed" and "WalMart: The High Cost of Low Price," is employing the same model with his latest project, "Iraq for Sale: The War Profiteers." With the help of liberal partners like MoveOn, Greenwald's legions are holding, by his estimation, 1,500-1,600 screenings at house parties and community centers across the country from Oct 8-14, as part of their "Patriotism over Profit" week.
Focus Features is following the same model, even hiring a former Greenwald employee, Lisa Smithline, to run its grassroots campaign for Patricia Foulkrod's "The Ground Truth," which is also currently holding grassroots screenings across the country.
"If the goal is social change, then there's absolutely no question that alternative distribution is the only way to go," says Greenwald, touting the ability to reach audiences much quicker than conventional distribution routes and tap all types of audiences at free screenings. "There is no possibility that anyone who doesn't agree with you is going to pay $8 to see your movie," he says. And with his videos funded by small and large donors, Greenwald doesn't need to make a profit. "You have to measure your results in terms of political action," he says, "not by every dollar at the box office."
Foulkrod agrees. "I don't think the question is how many people are watching," she says. "I think the question is who is watching." At emotional screenings around the country, she has witnessed crying mothers aching for their children soldiers and Republican men opening up to the problems of the war. "Like the rest of this country, I want quick results," says Foulkrod. "But I don't think you can see what's happening when you're in the middle of it. We forget how long Vietnam was."
Dan Lohaus, director of "When I Came Home," which chronicles the plight of homeless Iraq veterans, doesn't have distribution for his film, but continues to take it to film festivals, and plans to work with the Center for American Progress to hold screenings around Veterans Day. "The last thing I'm going to do is sit on the film and wait for a distribution deal," he says. "The mission is to get Iraq veterans who are homeless off the street and we're going to keep pushing."
Best of luck to all of them.

Here in Montpeier, Vermont we just had a very disappointing run of THE WAR TAPES, even though there is a "local angle" (guardsmen form NH, producer living nearby). We even offered free admission to Natl. Guard members. I can't help thinking that there is some form of "battle fatigue" going on out there. Some people have said, "The news is so bad - why should I subject myself to more?" Unfortunately, the war is only the most extreme example, since I have noticed more and more avoidance of challenging and disturbing subjects, e.g. "Heading South." It is really too bad, since as with the profusion of fascinating Holocaust documentaries, there are many separate facets of the Iraq disaster that would make for fascinating viewing.
Rashad Ferguson | October 17, 2006 9:33 AM
There is a market for these films as the article pointed out to a few books on the War In Iraq that are doing pretty good. As with any market the producers of said content must find a way to reach them.
Yes we do live in the age of the dying attention span and the masses have so many important things on their mind such as sports, shoe sales, vacationing etc etc but people do want to know about this stuff.
I have shown the Ground Truth and When I Came Home trailers to people and both have spark a strong reaction from viewers. Now how many of those viewers went on to find out more about those documentaries is another story.
With that said, the people behind these films really need to get out there and push these movies. Websites are great but are not interactive enough a blog, or a forum and definitely a podcast would go along way to help. I do not know what Apple approach is but I would definitely try to get those documentaries on the iTunes store and another important feature is showing extended footage via the web maybe the first 10 to 20 mins to suck people in.
Call up local VA hospitals and centers and see how active there are in the community and set up screenings.
There is a market for these documentaries it only has to be refined.
Paul Cross | October 13, 2006 4:56 AM
One of the reasons why the flms on Iraq do not do well with the public is lack of media support. The main streem media is owned and controlled by Republican conservatives who have no intention of exposing what this Administration is doing strickly for profit and control. Also the American public thinks of this war as something far away that relly has no impact on their daily lives. Of course they are wrong but they don't know how much of an impact it in fact is having. I hope that my new film, Severe Visibility,www.severevisibility.com which deals with the attack on the Pentagon on 9-11 helps to wake up the citizens of this country to how they are being manipulated for big business and politican's to profit.


text: I just had the pleasure of seeing Kittie play half of this album along with most off of "Spit" a week before I picked it up. And I must say that it is better than I thought it would be. They call them a "Metal" band for a reason and this album is proof positive why. It's got angst, anger, gutteral growls, and prime metal melodic tension dripping on all sides. For a good portion of "Oracle" has a raw metal about the same skill level of Soulfly and Ill Nino. I must admit, despite the focus on Morgan's screams on "Oracle"; my favorite tracks are "In Winter", "Run Like Hell", "Pain", & the albums first single: "What I always Wanted". On these tracks the sounds have more variety to them that break up the throat aching screams that make up most of the album (don't get me wrong I love these too), "Wolves", "No Name" & the albums title track "Oracle". I even love the final track to the disc which is called "Pink Lemonade" which takes on a slow, beautiful yet LOUD Melvins-like ambiance — which I think more bands need to do — an excellent way to close off a collage of words & sounds from Kittie. In conslusion, if you have the taste for something Metal with a bit of melody, pick up 'Oracle'… You won't be disapointed.

Two Decatur men are in jail after they were arrested on cocaine charges on Monday.
Decatur police were investigating Sorrell Hubbard for the last two months. He and another man, Julio Brito, face several charges, including cocaine trafficking, distribution of a controlled substance and resisting arrest.
Officers arrested Hubbard and Brito at a Chevron station on 14th Street. Police said both men had cocaine on them. Officers reported that Brito resisted arrest and was later found to be in possession of a handgun, marijuana and electronic scales.
Hubbard was charged with three counts of distribution of a controlled substance and trafficking cocaine. Brito was charged with trafficking cocaine, possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia/delivery-sale, carrying a pistol without a permit and resisting arrest.
Both men are in the Decatur City Jail, but Hubbard will soon be moved to the Morgan County Jail. Hubbard's bond is set at $20,000, and Brito's bond totals at $27,000.

Beautiful work – the red theme is very striking.
Not to suggest the price is on the high-side, but I would buy today if the price was a little lower.
Best of luck with sales. definate bookmark.
I have uploaded and get a stylesheet missing error. I uploaded twice and still get this error. I checked and all the .css files have been uploaded. What files should be uploaded and what am I missing? Thanks
Hi, tell me your url and I will check it. Or contact me from my profile page and give me your website url.
Really nice designs. I've just noticed your profile and think you have a really clean and elegant style.
I would like to give two ideas for improving the code (not the design): - The small arrows next to the left menu should have a transparent background, not a white one. - The dropdown menu should wait 2-3 seconds instead of just closing right away (a lot of people got problems controlling their mouse)
Thanks for your suggestion I will consider it on my next template

Reaper's Mansion Trailer
Welcome to the Reaper's Mansion Website
View Larger Map
Learn More about Reaper's Mansion, thank to Leeanna Mclean:
Click the Pic!
So what is Reaper's Mansion you may ask?Well it's not your typical walkthrough haunted house. It is a completely interactive Haunted House that you and 5 of your companions must figure out how to go through! The Haunted House is Massive and takes about 15 - 25 mins to get through...depending on how fast you can run! The Haunted House is brought to your by TEM HOME Music School and Le Nordik Spa More Details about the event below.
What days do you run?We run 7 days a week, starting October 17th until November 3rd. This is our first trial run at this location, we will be constantly updating and adding to the attraction as we go. We have also been given the green light to host this attraction for the community from year to year, so tell us what you think and enjoy!
What are your Hours?We open everyday at 12:00pm, we close down at 6:00pm to reset the Haunted House and re-open at 7:00pm for the Nighttime show. There are many dark areas in Reapers Mansion, Including the parking lot, please watch your step and remember, the Reaper and his crew are not responsible for any injuries or lost souls due to your voluntary participation in the event. Enter at your own risk!
What age group is the Kid Friendly version for?Every child is different, we recommend the daytime for kids 8 and under, some kids still wont go through and some don't find it scary at all. In the day we remove or cover many of the scary props and there are no or minimal actors in the Haunted House. During this time the Haunted House is more of a maze.
What is the recommended age for the Nighttime VersionThe nighttime version is pretty intense, kids who are afraid prior to entering can ask the front door person for a flashlight which tells the actors not to scare the group. We use darkness, strobe lights, heavy fog, loud music, heavy bass, distraction , loud noises and surprise, to name a few in order to perform our scares.
NIGHTTIME IS NOT RECOMMENDED for anyone who is Pregnant, Prone to Seizures, Has Heart or Mental Conditions or Issues with any of the implements we use in the haunted house. We are semi contact and so the actors may touch you, YOU MAY NOT TOUCH THE ACTORS, any return physical contact will result in your removal from the attraction, NO EXCEPTIONS. We do this for your enjoyment, we will not hurt you, just scare the ....poop....out of you, respect our Actors and Props and we will all have a great time! We are Proudly Wheelchair Accessible!
Is there anything else to do at Reaper's MansionPLENTY!! Every day during the 12:00pm to 6:00pm we have live musical entertainment, many of them being under 18 and extremely talented! We have face painting by professional makeup artists, we have paint a pumpkin! As of Thursday October 24th, there will be even more events and attractions during the daytime, a massive Corn Maze, Jumpy Castles and Other Kids games and rides, obstacle courses, projector video games and competitions and much more!
During the night we will also have attractions for the adults, such as Stand Up Comedian Ryan Hillis as our resident Reaper! During the Last three days of the run we will be hosting 19+ licensed parties featuring celebrity talent and some of the best bands and acts around Ontario, you will not be disappointed with these lineups! Tickets are $30.00 at the door or $25.00 in advance or $60.00 for all three shows
Use coupon code "REAP1" to get the deal on advance ticket sales @ Ticketf.ly!
Is Reaper's Mansion Free?Unfortunately, no. We have run for free for the past four years, but this new and better location comes with much overhead and to make the experience better we have brought on better staff. Even though we have much more costs now, we have still maintained a great price for the amount of entertainment and a portion of our earnings always goes to a local Charity. This year we are supporting two, Hearth Place Cancer Support Center and OASIS Animal Rescue Center. Please keep mind prices do go up the last week of October. Please visit our Admission Page for full details. Reaper's Mansion accepts, Debit, Credit Card, Cash and Offers Cashback.
Is it scary?Well, we will answer your question with another, Does a reaper take Souls for a living? YA its scary, not because we go boo, because you have to either deal with the actors or the haunted house itself to find you way out, when we say we WILL get everybody, we mean it, bring your toughest friends!
So whats so different about Reapers Mansion Anyway?NICE TRY - we aint gunna give our secrets away, lets just say there is nothing like this nor has there ever been in Ontario, or even Canada. We are truly unique, original and not to be missed! Beside the differences in the Haunted House itself, how many other haunted attractions offer, food, music, a Live DJ doing the Haunted House Sounds, Projected Games and Competitions in Call of Duty, Rockband and Zombie Killer, in addition to THE BEST Licensed Halloween after parties from London To Kingston, we guarantee!!
Can I get Advance tickets and where from?You can get advanced tickets from www.ticketf.ly for all our events, event the after parties (19+). If you buy tickets in advance you will receive a discount using code "REAP1"
Do you run Rain or Shine?Yes...and no.... If we are not in a monsoon, we will run, but we have to think about our student actor and the rest of our staff. We will always post on our facebook and website if we need to close due to the weather, so be sure to check before you come in inclement weather!
When do you close?We typically close at 10pm Mon, Tues, Wed and Sun. On Thu, Fri and Sat we close between 12 and 1am, depending on how busy it is.
How do I contact the Reaper?You can reach the reaper at firstname.lastname@example.com or at 905 409 1687 / 905 409 6871
More answers coming as the questions roll in!
5 Years in a row!

Shrank excessively after washing
This polo fit well when I first tried it on. But after one wash, following the care instructions to the letter, it shrank at least 2 - 3 inches in length. I like the metal buttons, and the feel of the material. If you buy this shirt, I recommend hanging to dry.
Frederick, MD
new old favorite polo
love the way it fits,wears and looks. this is a great purchase.
fayetteville ga
6' 175 bought a large. Was huge with sleeves that came to my elbows and midsection was swimming on me. Fabric was nice but a bit heavy.
Norfolk, VA
The polos I bought have both developed holes at the back of the neck after several washes where the Territory Ahead logo was sewn on however I was lucky enough to purchase them on sale with free shipping so I did OK
Had to have another
I had one of these in brown. I liked it so well I had to have another in a different color.

---- — SALEM — Authorities say the quick response of emergency personnel on Wednesday night stopped a Dumpster fire outside the Peabody Essex Museum from spreading to the building.
The Fire Department responded to Charter Street side of the museum after an 11:03 p.m. report of the blaze, a firefighter said. The department was on scene by 11:04 p.m. and quickly extinguished the fire, which had not extended beyond the Dumpster.
A statement on the Fire Department's official Twitter account said the blaze "would have extended to the museum" if firefighters hadn't knocked it down when they did.
Police believe the fire could have been intentionally set, though they have declined to say exactly how. Security footage from the museum apparently shows a suspect.
A museum security officer told police that a man in his 50s had been seen walking toward the Dumpster at about 10:59 p.m. He was wearing a black coat and baggy jeans and was described as balding, according to the incident log.
"The male party dropped something in the Dumpster and then left the area," police wrote in the log. The fire started soon thereafter.
Police and the Fire Department are investigating the incident.
Firefighters had cleared the scene by 11:22 p.m.

A media confession
The May 13 story on the Web site Truthout.org was explosive: Presidential adviser Karl Rove had been indicted by Special Counsel Patrick J. Fitzgerald in connection with his role in leaking CIA officer Valerie Plame's name to the media, it blared. The report set off hysteria on the Internet, and the mainstream media scrambled to nail it down. Only . . . it wasn't true.
As we learned last week, Rove isn't being indicted, and the supposed Truthout scoop by reporter Jason Leopold was wildly off the mark. It was but the latest installment in the tale of a troubled young reporter with a history of drug addiction whose aggressive disregard for the rules ended up embroiling me in a bizarre escapade -- and raised serious questions about journalistic ethics.
In his nine-year reporting career, Leopold has managed, despite his drug abuse and a run-in with the law, to work with such big-time news organizations as the Los Angeles Times, Dow Jones Newswire and Salon. He broke some bona fide stories on the Enron scandal and the CIA leak investigation. But in every job, something always went wrong, and he got the sack. Finally, he landed at Truthout, a left-leaning Web site.
I met Leopold once, three days before his Rove story ran, to discuss his recently published memoir, "News Junkie." It seems to be an honest record of neglect and abuse by his parents, felony conviction, cocaine addiction -- and deception in the practice of journalism.
Leopold says he gets the same rush from breaking a news story that he did from snorting cocaine. To get coke, he lied, cheated and stole. To get his scoops, he has done much the same. As long as it isn't illegal, he told me, he'll do whatever it takes to get a story, especially to nail a corrupt politician or businessman. "A scoop is a scoop," he trumpets in his memoir. "Other journalists all whine about ethics, but that's a load of crap."

retro gaming geek in boston.
Nearly 30 years old, married, through school with both a bachlor's and master's, gainfully employed, and now with a lovely, infant daughter, I consider myself an avid gamer, but perhaps not in the way other "h4rdc0r3 g4m3rs" would typify it. Gaming is not my sole "hobby" or form of entertainment (I consider myself fairly well-read and I love all sorts of movies - from artsy intellectual fare to cheesy, zombie-slasher mayhem), but there is something timeless to my love of creative problem-solving, pick-up and play mechanics, and in many cases compelling story experiences that games over the years can offer.
In particular, I love playing old video games (PC or console), not merely for nostalgia (since I often seek out games I have never played back in the day) but for timeless qualities like story (for adventures and RPGs) or gameplay and mechanics. In particular, I love to play games where their technical limitations (whether art, sound, storage, control or processing power of the system) are exceeded or rendered irrelevant by fantastic design and gameplay. Likewise, I love new games with old school sensibilities, and the occasional "current gen" game that just happen to provide fresh, extremely polished, or just plain new experiences.
Beyond a heady perspective of my gaming, I really simply adore putting in an old cartridge, playing for 30 min to a hour, being 9 years old again, and getting back to the rest of adult life.
That being said, I do own both a Wii and an XBox 360 and play fairly frequently, albeit with baby around, the majority of my time with these consoles have been with Netflix. Additionally, I do quite a bit of my gaming on my DS Lite [not inclined to upgrade until perhaps the 3DS, since I use the GBA slot often], my iPhone, and my Macbook Pro (which has been getting a lot of play due to Steam for Mac [it me up for L4D/L4D2... username: pixelheresy]).
Have been playing [last updated 11/22/10]:
- Left 4 Dead / Left 4 Dead 2 [Steam for Mac]
Pick this up on Halloween during a Steam sale [was considering it for 360 for a while, but just got a new Macbook]. Since I was going on an extended business trip in early November, with lots of hotel room and waiting in the airport, this was a much-needed time sink. Finished everything in single player, now replaying in the online co-op modes.
- New Super Mario Bros. Wii [Wii]
Still trying to get all coins, rather than playing straight through.
- Disgaea DS [NDS]
Bought this years ago, but really getting into it now.
- Ketsui Death Label [NDS]
Been chipping away at this here and there for months, trying to unlock all modes.
- Planetfall [zCode with Spatterlight for Mac]
Yes, I am playing a text adventure from 1983. I do like interactive fiction [both old and new].
- Misc. iPhone Games [iPhone]
Particularly, Robot Unicorn Attack, Pix'n Rush, and Super Laser as of late.
- Black Market [Web]
An indie Elite/Wing Command Privateer-type exploration/trading/space combat game. Very nice. [http://www.bigblockgames.com/]
- Super Crate Box [PC]
Another great indie [play it on my netbook, since there is no Mac port yet]. http://www.supercratebox.com/

Hey pixelheresy, welcome to our Community Blogs!
Unlike a regular blog, where you're out alone in the web wilderness,
will publish your story instantly to a directory shared by our readers. Great blogs are voted up, and you'll soon earn
. "Failblogs", the opposite of awesomeness, we can do without. As such, we want to help you make the best first impression:
Checklist for Not Sucking:
1) Upload an avatar
2) Write a brief bio
3) Publish your first blog (SCARY!)
It's not so scary. However, be mindful of a few things. A
blog is intended to be a complete article, have entertainment value of some kind, and formatted nicely. If you toss a blog up that looks like a quickly thrown-together email with no photos or care you'll never earn readers, and unlikely ever get your blog promoted to our home page.
Here's an example of a FAILBLOG:
Oh hey I'm new here wuz up I've been reading the site for 99 years and this is my first blog! I like tacos! Nice to meet everyone!!! -Niero
Silly rabbit, blogs are not
! While enthusiasm is greatly appreciated, that's hardly a valid blog post or even a complete paragraph. Even if your intentions are in the right place, this is what we call a "fail blog". Don't be that guy.
If that's all you want to say, it's better suited for fast-paced conversation in our home page comments or even our forums. Blogs are complete thoughts. They should be able to stand alone. When you're ready to
talk about an interesting topic, in 1-2 paragraphs
ask readers to respond to your thoughts
then you're ready to blog. Got it?
Don't spam the blogs.
One last thing -- be mindful that this is a 'shared' space, so don't push a bunch of blogs together one after the other. After you publish, try commenting and following other bloggers before you blog again to allow people to check your story out, and post new stories as well.
If you are copying and pasting from another blog, please take some time to personalize it for this community. Nobody likes copy-pasta, it's spammy.
Here's a few more
blogging tips
from the boss of us. Ready to go?

So there's been some bickering and some arguing in the threads, and due to a recent comment I made, some of y'all think I hate you.
Well, it's true. I hate your stinkin' guts.
Okay, I'm lying. I love y'all. This community can be such a wonderful place. Sometimes I just get driven up the wall by the nonstop drama, which comes with the territory, of course. Excuse my occasional meltdown. Or just inform Jesse and he'll knock me back down a peg.
My point? Let's make love, not war. And by that, I mean, let's break out the booty.
Note: These pics were OJR approved.
Those are my three apology pics. Much love, Maniacs.

There are cheap shots and, again, there are cheap shots.
The "Cosby Cattleman," a regular on the Knoxville talk show circuit and possessed with an insatiable and (and continuing) desire for Phillip Fulmer's head on a platter, hit a new low on today's Tony Basilio show. In East Knoxville, we used to call that being a "bad winner."
In effect, he made the assertion that Lane Kiffin should not have to walk into the training table at Gibbs Hall and see Fulmer eating lunch with Gus Manning.
That went beyond the pale. Gus is one of the good guys, an icon in Tennessee athletic history, our last connection to a bygone era.
Say what you want about Phillip, but leave Gus out of it.
Phillip's situation appears to moot now, given the events of this afternoon, but the shot at Gus was unwarranted to an unprecedented degree.
Even the "Cattleman" knows better than that.

When the adventurer Walter Ralegh first encountered Elizabeth I he supposedly placed his cloak over a puddle and allowed the queen to walk across it. Thus began one of the most intriguing relationships between a monarch and her favourite. "The Favourite" explores the labyrinthine complexity of human emotion, ambition and ritual within the restricted confines of the Tudor court. Was the favourite a Machiavellian schemer who fooled the queen in her affections? Was Elizabeth willing to manipulate her courtier for her own ends? The Queen's affection for Ralegh would protect him but he would soon become the 'most hated man in England'. In "The Favourite", Mathew Lyons reveals a new portrait of an immortal relationship and a fascinating exploration of the many layers of love between Gloriana and Ralegh - courtier, chancer and privateer. Reviews for "Impossible Journeys": 'Jocular but scholarly compendium of outlandish voyages' - Book of the Week, "Time Out". 'Lyons' account is truly heartbreaking' - "New Statesman". 'The book as a whole has a kind of understated magic' - "Guardian".'Presents the tales with great wit and wisdom, and an undercurrent of learning that makes the whole project very attractive indeed' - "Independent on Sunday". 'Each story is told exquisitely and comes backed with exhaustive research' - "Sunday Times".

Juvenile Justice
SG: Bureau of Prisons Supplied Wrong Info to SCOTUS in Landmark Juvenile Case
Posted May 28, 2010 8:48 AM CDT
By Debra Cassens Weiss
Acting Solicitor General Neal Katyal has notified the U.S. Supreme Court that the U.S. Bureau of Prisons supplied incorrect information about six juvenile prisoners that was cited in a recent landmark decision on juvenile sentencing.
The Supreme Court ruled on May 17 in Graham v. Florida that a sentence of life in prison without parole is cruel and unusual punishment for juveniles who have not been charged with murder. The majority opinion by Justice Anthony M. Kennedy cited this statistic: "There are six convicts in the federal prison system serving life without parole sentences for [juvenile] non-homicide crimes."
Not true, according to Katyal's letter (PDF), first obtained by The BLT: The Blog of Legal Times and later posted online at the Crime and Consequences blog. Katyal explains that because of time constraints, the U.S. Bureau of Prisons responded to a confidential court request for information by consulting "automated inmate records" rather than other documentation such as presentence reports.
Now a more careful review has found that all six juveniles mentioned in Kennedy's opinion were either convicted for criminal conspiracies that continued after they reached age 18, or involved killings, the letter says.
The Solicitor General's office did not submit a brief in the case, and became aware of the information submitted by the Bureau of Prisons after the release of the Supreme Court opinion. The BLT says Solicitor General Elena Kagan's decision to stay out of the case has been the subject of some controversy. The BLT also notes "the unusual nature of the court's own data-gathering project."

Reportedly brewed in honor of Dennis Hopper this new seasonal from Green Man is rolled out just in time. Thrilled to be able to try it this past weekend, it really struck me as quite a winner.
The pour was very nice as a hazy golden yellow color filled the glass. Nice head of white comes up about two and a half inches but drops down quickly leaving about a half inch of foam and lots of lacing. Aroma is light, grassy with hints of banana and clove and a nice touch of fresh hops which fade into a grainy and bready, airy aroma. Clean and light the flavor rolls across the palate with ease. Light wheat and bready tastes mingle with a fresh, but light hop tone. Really nicely done here i have to admit as each sip seems to get cleaner and lighter. Really just a super simple, and easy drinking session beer.
Overall just about perfect for the summer, a real winner here i would have to highly recommed giving this one a shot.

The Eagle-Tribune
---- — HAVERHILL — Police are warning people to be aware of who is around them, after two incidents in which women were caught off guard by men who robbed cash from them.
In one case, the victim was threatened with a gun, police said.
The first incident happened on Saturday at 5:30 a.m., when an 18-year-old woman who was sleeping in her car on River Street was awakened by two men, police said. The woman told police she was sleeping in her car in the area of 106 River St., when she woke up to the sound of tapping on the window.
The woman said she saw two men outside the car, both of whom were wearing white and black bandanas. One of the men was holding a gun, she said. The gunman told the woman to roll down her window and then demanded money from her, she told police.
Deputy Chief Donald Thompson said the woman handed the men $10 and they left the area. Thompson said the police report on the incident did not indicate whether the men wore the bandanas to hide their faces. Descriptions of the men were not available at the time of this report. There was no explanation in the police report of why the woman was sleeping in her car. Police Detective Carl Rogers is investigating.
The second incident happened on Sunday at 1:50 a.m., when a 44-year-old woman was returning from the CVS in Monument Square. The woman told police she was walking on Arlington Street near Webster Street when she heard a voice. She said a man approached her from behind, punched her and took $50 that she was carrying.
Thompson said according to a police report, the woman appeared to have suffered a facial injury in the attack and was taken by ambulance to Merrimack Valley Hospital for evaluation. Officers searched the area but were unable to locate a suspect, police said. Detective Joseph Benedetti is investigating.
Police do not believe the two incidents are related, but are asking women to take notice of who or what is around them.
"As we've said before, always be aware of your surroundings," Thompson said.

In Memoriam
Charles Robert Glaser Jr.
9/26/60 - 7/24/07
It's been two years since we lost you, but it still seems like yesterday. There's not a day that goes by that we don't think of you, talk about you, or look at your picture and wish that you were still here with us. Knowing that you're making a place for us and our pets in heaven comforts us and knowing that someday we will see you again.
Our last day together, we wish that we would have shared that bowl of chicken soup with you. Always loving you forever, Mom, Jeff Sr., Jeff Jr., Zack, Heather, Hayley and little Tony.
History comes from any number of sources -- good teachers, good books, the History Channel. And sometimes it comes directly from those who lived it. Students in Jeff Boggess's U.S. History classes at Avonworth High School recently completed a project that made them the historians as they interviewed individuals who experienced World War II, both as civilians and as military personnel.
Now in its fourth year, the project parallels class study that includes discussion and debate of the more controversial aspects of the war, such as the dropping of the atomic bomb and Japanese internment.

The Palouse provides stress free wandering
July 22, 2014
This Weekend Wanderer heads for Palouse Falls State Park, but as all true wanderers know, it is not the destination, but the wandering that counts.
On the way, you need to cruise the back roads and small farm towns of Palouse country to melt away your stress, so load the kids in the minivan or SUV and get going.
To get to Palouse country from Issaquah, of course you're stuck on Interstate 90 to Moses Lake. I-90 is a familiar run; even so, there are a couple of things to note: The snow shed you always looked for as a kid so you could tell dad to "honk the horn, honk the horn," near Lake Keechelus, has disappeared to make way for highway improvements.
In Woodinville Wine Country, vino, veritas
July 8, 2014
Does winding through Woodinville's wine country sound like a fantastic way to spend a day? You're right — it is.
A number of wineries have bloomed in the bursting local industry along the northwestern tip of Lake Washington. When world-famous Chateau Ste. Michelle winery settled in the area in 1976, it brought with it a gradual wave of other wineries and, of course, wine lovers.
Currently, more than 100 wineries call the Woodinville area home. Now, you can experience those on the Woodinville Wine Country shuttle, every first and third Saturday from July 5 to Sept. 20.
Tulip festival offers fun daytime getaway
May 6, 2014
I'm not a gardener.
You most certainly won't find me in the yard cutting grass, or crouched near a patch of soil pulling weeds and planting flowers.
Imagine my parents' surprise then, when I suggested we head north for the final weekend of the Skagit Valley Tulip Festival.
Flowers have never really been my thing, but after my April 26 exploration of the blooming tulip fields, I certainly have a new appreciation for the beauty of all things flora.
Get blown away at Wild Horse

Vantage visitors center educates about energy
On a cloudy but pleasant day, the weekend wanderer headed out to visit the Wild Horse Renewable Energy Center in Vantage. The wind mill farm, owned by Puget Sound Energy, has a visitors center featuring educational displays by PSE and Central Washington University to educate visitors about wind and solar technology and the area's unique natural history.
The center, at 25905 Vantage Highway, is only a two hour drive from Issaquah. Read more
Weekend Wanderer visits Sun Lakes and Dry Falls / May 2013
May 15, 2013
Follow the sun to Sun Lakes/Dry Falls
May 14, 2013
Weekend Wanderer set out mid-April for Sun Lakes/Dry Falls State Park, about a 200-mile drive from Issaquah. The clouds hung low over the mountains on Snoqualmie Pass, barely shielding their beauty, like the sheer nightgown of a bashful bride.
Somewhere near Easton, the sun began its struggle with the clouds to dominate the sky. It won east of Ellensburg.
Why Sun Lakes/Dry Falls State Park? Start with the name, sun, and add camping, swimming, fishing, golfing, sightseeing and a place to research your kid's science project on Washington archeology.

Denizens of the depths surface at Seattle Aquarium
Somehow, I made it my entire life so far without visiting an aquarium.
I suppose some blame can rest on growing up in the Midwest, but more than anything, the opportunity just never presented itself. I consider that a real shame because I am fascinated by all things aquatic. "Moby Dick" is one of my favorite books, I have watched more nature shows on the deep sea than any other kind of nature show and I should have visited an aquarium sooner.
Explore a national park and 'Twilight' mysteries on the Olympic Peninsula
August 3, 2010
Summer is road-trip time and a great weekend adventure is making a loop through the Olympic Peninsula, home to Olympic National Park, the fifth most-visited national park in the country.
Since one of our travel goals is to stay in all of the lodges featured in the PBS series, "Great Lodges of the National Parks," this weekend jaunt was the perfect way to check two more off our list.
We headed out early on a gray and misty Friday afternoon to take the ferry from Edmonds to Kingston. A lot of other people obviously had the same idea, so there was a lengthy wait. The ferry to Bainbridge might be a better option, as the boats are larger and can accommodate more cars. Once we got to Sequim, however, the sun was out, which definitely reinforced the nickname the area has acquired as the "Banana Belt" due to its low rainfall and sunny weather.

This Thanksgiving, one Iowa family received a special gift from their loved one who died in Iraq eight years ago.
Marine Corporal Jarrod Maher died in Iraq in 2005.
Now a flag with Maher's signature has finally made its way back to the Marine's family, thanks to a twist of fate.
The flag was a memento signed by Jarrod and six others from the company while they were serving in Iraq.
The memento was brought back to the United States by another comrade, but had flown out of the man's truck until it was found on the side of a Texas highway.
That's when a Houston TV station ran a story about the lost flag in search of the flag's rightful owner, and a viewer recognized the names and contacted the family.

It's been three years since my dad passed. Always weird, always painful, but it's interesting how you learn to deal. The fact that it coincides with the French national holiday makes the fireworks a strange moment for me - we watched fireworks as I was organizing his ceremonies.
It DOES get better with time… and then I remember that I miss him and I wish he were here.

Preface - This is PURE speculation. It's not *completely* baseless, but what basis exists is purely circumstantial. I have never let that stop me before and I won't now. I'm not a journalist - I'm a Supporter!
The first thing that had me wondering if a rule-bending, rule-change or team-specific accommodation might be coming is the Matias Laba situation at Toronto FC. Laba is an excellent young midfielder and was one of the few truly bright spots for the Reds in 2013. Toronto signed him as a youth DP and are reported to have paid a $1.5M transfer fee to acquire him. In addition, Laba was making $200K in salary at the last reveal in September. With that transfer fee spread over three years, his natural (non-DP) cap hit would be $700,000. Since the season ended, Toronto FC has gone on to make a HUGE splash in the offseason signing Michael Bradley, Jermaine Defoe and Gilberto - each to multi-million dollar contracts. That leaves them with 4 DPs. There has been a lot of speculation about a loan for Laba with teams like Toluca reported to be interested. Toronto, however, really really really wants to keep Laba. Training camp has started and Laba is there with the team (along with the other 3 DPs). There are no indications whatsoever that he's being moved - and trust me, I've been looking (I really like this kid). Why wouldn't Toronto be publicly and actively shopping him?
Now we have #DrogbaWatch - Silly season is back in session. Speculation abounds that Chelsea legend Didier Drogba will be making a move to MLS this summer. At first it seemed to be a silly rumor. Now, however, the original source claims HIS source is the manager at Galatasary. People who don't normally delve into the messy world of transfer rumors have piped in on this one. Adrian Hanauer said "it's a rumor" - in AH-speak that reads as a non-denial denial. Then there was the photo with Gary Payton...and Jeremiah Oshan thinking he saw Drogba at the airport. In fact, there is enough momentum behind this that I would normally be inclined to buy in. However, moving a proven, world-class and much younger DP like Oba to bring in Drogba midseason just didn't seem to fit the offseason narrative our Front Office has been spinning. However, bringing in Drogba *in addition* to Oba...that feels more in tune. It may not be a position of extreme need for the Sounders, but Didier Drogba is a player an MLS team does not pass on when given the opportunity.
Timing - MLS is an opportunistic league and single-entity allows for a degree of agility that could make this sort of change possible. The opportunity comes with the World Cup in Brazil. Players are famously more willing to make moves after the Cup than they would have been before. In addition, many teams will be here in the US playing pre-Cup friendlies. Garber may simply see this as an opportunity to grow the league.
Timing again - The CBA negotiations are right around the corner and there is very little doubt that, with a new and improved TV deal, the players will demand a significant loosening of the salary cap. An additional DP could easily be a facet of that loosening.
Lastly, there is plenty of precendent for the MLS making significant rule changes like this, notifying the clubs, but not publicly announcing the change. Most recently, there was the 2012 tiebreaker rule change (which was made at the beginning of the season, but not announced until mid-season) and the CCL Berth change that sent Portland into international play while RSL is on the outside looking in (the change was recommended at the start of the 2013 season). Just because we haven't been told of a rule change clearly doesn't mean one hasn't been made.
So I wonder aloud, is a 4th DP coming? I don't know. It would not surprise me. We'll find out, one way or another, when Donnie G and company decides we need to know. Not a second before.

Within today's main post someone made an interesting point; or at least it seemed interesting to me. The poster asked the question (and I paraphrase) "When was the last time the Cardinals were sellers?" I figured that I would take a look at as many trades as I could for as long back as I could handle.
2009 season
December 4, 2008 - Traded 2 PTBNLs (Mark Worrell and Luke Gregorson) to San Diego for Khalil Greene. Buyers.
2008 season
July 26 - Traded Anthony Reyes to Cleveland for Luis Pedermo. Neither buyer nor seller.
January 14 - Traded Scott Rolen to Toronto for Troy Glaus. Neither buyer nor seller.
December 15, 2007 - Traded Jim Edmonds to San Diego for David Freese. Neither buyer nor seller. Seller, if I had to choose one there.
2007 season
July 31 - Traded a PTBNL (Sean Danielson) to Boston for Joel Pineiro. Buyers.
June 22 - Traded a PTBNL (Chris Lambert) to Detroit for Mike Maroth. Buyers.
2006 season
July 31 - Traded Rich Scalamandre to Atlanta for Jorge Sosa. Buyers.
July 30 - Traded Hector Luna to Cleveland for Ronnie Belliard. Buyers.
July 5 - Traded Terry Evans to Anaheim for Jeff Weaver. Buyers.
December 7, 2005 - Traded Ray King to Colorado for Larry Bigbie and Aaron Miles. Neither buyers nor sellers.
2005 season
December 18, 2004 - Traded Daric Barton, Kiko Calero, and Danny Haren (ouch) to Oakland for Mark Mulder. Buyers. (or so we thought...)
2004 season
August 6 - Traded Jason Burch and PTBNLs (Luis Martinez and Chris Narveson) to Colorado for Larry Walker. Buyers.
March 21 - Traded Matt Duff to Boston for Tony Womack. Buyers.
December 31, 2003 - Traded JD Drew and Eli Marrero to Atlanta for Jason Marquis, Ray King, and Adam Wainwright. Both buyers and sellers.
November 21, 2003 - Traded Tino Martinez to Tampa Bay for PTBNL (John-Paul Davis) and Evan Rust. Sellers. This is the first example I could find going back. Davis and Rust never made the bigs. Martinez went on to put up an .823 OPS for Tampa that year and hit 23 homers and had 20 doubles. This was a salary dump, BUT the big thing here is that it was in the offseason. It still was not a trade deadline dump.
Before that, the next salary dump/sale I could find was trading Dustin Hermanson to Boston for Dustin Brisson, Luis Alfonso Garcia, and Rick Asadoorian. None of them made the majors as well. Again, this was an off-season deal. (December 15th, 2002.)
The most recent trade deadline dump could be July 31, 2001 when we traded Jason Christiansen to San Francisco for Kevin Joseph. Joseph threw 11 innings in 2002, his only major league experience. The next season was his last in professional baseball. Jason Christiansen, at the time of the trade, had thrown 30 games for the Cardinals that season (and 21 the previous season in a partial season with the Cards). He was having a good year with the Birds on the Bat and finished even better with the Giants later.
