The Counselor a Colossal Waste of A-List Talent
- Friday, October 25, 2013
DVD Release Date: February 11, 2014
Theatrical Release Date: October 25, 2013
Rating: R (for graphic violence, some grisly images, strong sexual content and language)
Genre: Drama/Crime
Run Time: 117 min.
Director: Ridley Scott
Cast: Michael Fassbender, Penélope Cruz, Cameron Diaz, Javier Bardem, Brad Pitt, Rosie Perez
Celebrated novelist Cormac McCarthy has never been one for writing feel-good stories. From the disturbing No Country For Old Men, which earned four Academy Awards in 2007 including Best Picture, to the grim post-apocalyptic tale, The Road, his work has still made for some pretty thrilling cinema.
Now with The Counselor, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author is venturing into brand new territory by adapting his own work. Trouble is, while screenplays are decidedly different from their literary counterparts because the writer is given freedom to show and tell, success still hinges upon thoughtful exposition and character development. Unfortunately, The Counselor is sorely lacking in both, so the end product is basically a frustrating cautionary tale on how getting mixed up in drug trafficking doesn't pay. Does anyone really need to watch a movie to learn that?
Even with a gaggle of A-list talent onboard, including director Ridley Scott (Prometheus) who usually provides a reliable eye for memorable visuals (he does here, too, but for all the wrong reasons), The Counselor is nothing more than a head-scratching string of scenes that don't propel the threadbare narrative forward. Worse yet, McCarthy never gives the viewer a reason to care. Never have characters been this unlikable or inconsequential.
The "plot" involves a lawyer (Michael Fassbender, 12 Years a Slave) who's never called by any other name but "Counselor" for the duration of the film. For someone smart enough to make it through law school, pass the Bar and defend people in precarious legal situations, Counselor, like the hapless protagonists who inevitably meet their grisly end in your average horror movie, stunningly ignores numerous warnings about the "one-time" drug smuggling adventure he's about to embark upon.
And considering the ethics of the people offering their two cents, namely Counselor's shady, larger-than-life clients Reiner (Javier Bardem, Skyfall), his leopard-loving gal pal Malkina (Cameron Diaz, Knight and Day) and one very greasy middleman Westray (Brad Pitt, World War Z), one would assume Counselor would at least weigh his options. But for whatever reason, sheer stupidity or otherwise, Counselor believes he can emerge unscathed. As it turns out, Counselor's end game is obtaining a quick but hefty payout so he can run off into the sunset with his beloved fiancée Laura (Penélope Cruz, To Rome With Love).

Nebraska right fielder Austin Darby took to the East Lansing visiting team's locker room on Sunday a winner. In reality, he was the MVP of the Huskers' 4-1 victory over the Michigan State Spartans.
Sparty had the opportunity to move men around into scoring position in the bottom of the eighth inning, maybe even tie up the game at four runs a piece.
Instead, designated hitter Blaise Salter belted a blast where Darby was stationed. Words cannot describe the play he made:
No Spartans advanced for extra bases and thanks in large part to Darby, the Big Red clinched the series against the Michigan State Spartans.
The Big Red ideally goes for the sweep today, however weather in the area may delay or cancel the game entirely. If not, it will be available on BTN or BT2Go.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. -- In a letter signed by the top seven Republicans in the Missouri Senate, Governor Jay Nixon's proposal to expand the number of Missourians eligible for Medicaid was called, "an irresponsible, comprehensive adoption of failed federal policies."
Thursday's letter reaffirmed what has long been assumed, that full expansion of Medicaid in Missouri was not going to be approved by the legislature.
In repeated rallies and speeches across the state, Governor Nixon has pushed Medicaid expansion as his number one priority. However, with strong Republican majorities in both chambers of the General Assembly, there was never any indication that the Governor's desires would become reality.
"The state already spends nearly half of all state general revenue on the Medicaid program," the letter signed by Senate President Pro-Tem Tom Dempsey and six others reads. "An expansion of such a large program with a partner as unreliable as the federal government would likely mean future tax increases or serious cuts to vital priorities, like K-12 education."
Governor Nixon has repeatedly asserted that the expansion he is pushing would be paid for by federal taxes which Missourians must pay whether or not they receive the benefit. He has also recommended attaching a mechanism to the expansion which would invalidate it if the federal funds are not delivered as promised.
"Under the proposed expansion, federal funding will cover 100 percent of the costs of expanding Medicaid to uninsured Missourians making less than 138 percent of the Federal Poverty Level for the first three calendar years," Governor Nixon said last week at a stop at Springfield's Burrell Behavioral Health Center. "This will bring a total of $5.7 billion back to Missouri and provide coverage to an additional 300 thousand Missourians -- at no cost to the state."
The Republicans have said from the beginning they simply do not believe that.
Now, they are recommending the Governor give it up.
"We call upon the Governor to begin working toward a common-sense, Missouri solution, instead of an irresponsible, comprehensive adoption of failed federal policies."

Ruchi Sanghvi (b. 1982)
Can't help checking your Facebook News Feed every hour? You have Ruchi Sanghvi to blame for your addiction. As the first woman to be hired as an engineer at Facebook, she worked tirelessly as one of the leads on the project to make sure you would never again be out of the loop on what your friends are doing (even if it's just taking pictures of their lunch).
The Pune, India-native came to the United States to earn her bachelor's and master's degrees in electrical computer engineering at Carnegie Mellon University. After graduation, she found herself in New York City, preparing to use her math modeling skills to work on Wall Street with the rest of her classmates. But a little voice told her she should move west, so she took a chance, joined Facebook and forever changed the way we interact online.
But there was a catch. She had promised her parents that after a year of working in the United States, she would return home and get married. So she took a sabbatical from work, flew home, and went on a ton of dates they had arranged for her. But she found that when she really wanted to know more about the guys, she just looked them up on Facebook! It seemed like a sign, so she went back to work, where she led the teams for Facebook Connect and Facebook Platform (and found her own husband).
After five years at Facebook, she left to co-found her own company, Cove. As CEO, she developed a system to help organizations and communities collaborate and coordinate their efforts. She sold the company to Dropbox a year later, and now serves as the vice president of operations for the file sharing company.
She hopes other women will learn from story and do what's in their hearts, rather than take the safe route. "I was doing what was expected of me as a girl, and as a woman…. And I've seen so many women go through so similar experiences," she has said. "I've decided to not leave before I have to. To not make compromises before I have decisions to make. To not be afraid of the unknown, because that's where the most exciting opportunities lie. To raise my hand and actually ask for these opportunities." Here's to embracing the unknown.

that anon who just sent me that prompt
You will be responsible for the rampant blushing and spazzing on my part. Oh man. No promises. That was never quite my division, that type of fic!
Though I do always like a challenge.
"Prompt! Beckett dies after 5 years of being married to Castle. She watches him from above and hopes that he falls in love again."
She stumbles in front of the gun pointed at her husband, the 3XK's triumphant grin falling as she does. He'd left her for dead on the ground, beaten and bruised and emaciated after over a week of torture with a heavily bleeding wound to her side. But she had one last scrap of energy.
And she sure as hell wasn't going to let him take Castle from this world too.
The bullet hits her chest, awfully near to her scar, and the blazing pain seems almost dull on top of everything else. It was hard to be in more pain than she had been for the past week or however long it was, and a bullet could only add so much to the broken bones and the torn skin and the whiplashes and what not. The 3XK was one sadistic bastard.
She falls, giving in to everything as she falls to the floor. She's conscious of someone else shooting again, another body crumpling to the floor. But it's not Castle's body, because he's cradling her in his lap, frantically trying to stop the bleeding from both heart and side. She gives him a weak smile.
"Rick," she says weakly, shaking from the shock and the pain, barely getting the words out.
"No, Kate," he says desperately, a plea that she cannot fulfill, "You can't leave me! Not now! Stay with me, I love you, stay with me, Kate."
She stares at his beautiful blue eyes, glowing in the darkness slowly encompassing her vision, and tries to commit that image to her mind, whatever of it was left. His beautiful, ruggedly handsome face. His words. He's repeating now. Just the three words. I love you. I love you Kate. Just like the last time she ended up shot, huh?
Macabre thoughts for a dying person.
Though there's hardly more macabre a situation to be in.
The last thing she sees is his blue, blue eyes as everything fades to black.
So this is the afterlife, huh?
It's a bunch of warm gray mist. Everywhere. It's like those dry-ice clouds they use during performances or something. But it's everywhere, and it doesn't just wisp away once the curtain goes up. And even though she's lost in the fog, she feels at peace here. It's light. Everywhere is a warm, bright light.
It's rather lonely, this world of fog. Perhaps she's just in the beginning. She read a book one- The Five People You Meet in Heaven- and while she was no practitioner of an organized religion, she'd always liked the idea. The protagonist had met the five people who had most influenced him in his life, and after realizing truly what each had done for him in their own personal heavens, the person got to move on to the next stage. At the end, the protagonist got his own personal heaven to live in while he waited for the person he had to teach his lesson to. Perhaps this was the beginning. Though who knew. This was the greatest mystery that no detective could ever solve. A witness-less scene, a place that no intel could get you knowledge of. The unsolvable question.
Something in her swelled at the adventure as she made her way through the fog, her prior injuries gone. There was no sense of direction in this mist world at all, at first anyway. As she walks on for who knows how long she becomes conscious of a familiar voice humming a familiar lulling song- Blackbird. Her mother had always sat with her and sung that when she was little when she had nightmares- it would both distract her and lull her off to sleep. Her mother had always been clever.
As she approaches the voice the words become clearer.
"Blackbird singing in the dead of night, take these sunken eyes and learn to see… all your life… you were only waiting for this moment to be free. Blackbird fly…"
She approaches the singer, an immediately recognizable woman in pale purple clothes, the first spot of color she's seen in this afterlife.
"Blackbird fly…"
The woman turns, a huge smile coming over her face as she turns from the curious silver basin before her. She stops singing.
She runs to her mother, arms wrapping around her physical form, strange in this ethereal place of fog and light. She shakes with happiness and tears and just… all the emotions. Everything. Thank goodness this part of the cliche was true.
"I've missed you so much Momma," she says, feeling like a child again in her mother's warm embrace, "I've missed you so much.
"I'm so proud of you, Katie," says her mother, pulling back to look at her daughter's face, "And how you've grown- how beautiful you are to see in front of me at last! I mean. I have been watching, but it's not the same."
She gestures to the silver basin, which looked to be a large, intricate birdbath. The closest thing she could think of was the Pensieve from Harry Potter.
"It's like a looking glass into the world," explains her mother, bringing her daughter over to peek over the edge into the crystal clear water within, "I get to spy on anyone I knew when I was alive. Good fun, this thing."
"I bet you've had fun," she says, laughing, "You were always eavesdropping in… the world."
"That I did," says her mother, "And yes, the whole… world thing takes some getting used to. But you'll explore this place soon enough. I'm moving on soon enough now that you've arrived."
"But why? I want to stay with you… I've only just got you again!"
"We'll see each other soon, Katie," says her mother, "Don't you worry. Our paths will cross. But for now it's time for me to join your father in the next leg of the journey, and your turn to await here for your dear ones."
"Don't go," she says plaintively, but her mother is already moving on again with a final smile and encouragement to her daughter as she disappears into the fog, borne by some river swirling through the fog below. She cannot feel the current, not yet. But she supposes she will, someday.
After a moment of sadness, being deprived of her mother again, she turns to the basin. She knew who she wanted to see, and the basin did not disappoint. Before her swirled into view Castle, clad in full black, with Javi and Ryan and LT as they carried the… her? Her coffin. That was a weird thought. To a grave. Castle seemed to be hardly holding back tears. Iron Gates was cracking, tears falling down her face. Lanie was distraught as were Martha and Alexis. Little Ellie, the poor daughter following her mother's legacy a little too closely, was motherless and too young to truly understand. Oh that innocence. What she would have given to have stopped that from being sullied so early. But if she had not acted, her darling girl, her Ellie, would have been an orphan.
Espo breaks down in the middle of his speech. Ryan splits it with him but he too breaks down. Lanie steps in, taking up the baton but she too can hardly get through the last part.
Rick hardly gets through his speech. She cries. His words. His words were her savior and her killer, her miracle and her catastrophe. His words were sanctuary and hell, olive branch and weapon. But today. Today they are love. He tells their story, from the first day they met to the day they married, to the days of their five years after that. Of Ellie, of all of their hardships along the way. Of her. How he talks of her. That's where he cannot get through the words and Alexis reads some of them for him. He speaks of her courage, of her inherent need for justice for everyone. Of her love for everyone she loved, of her respect for the victims and their families. Of her kindness, of her humor, of her tenacity and determination, of her selflessness to the very end.
And he says that she will always be his always. That he will always love her as he had for a long time, as everyone in the audience knows. And gripping his speech notes as if they could bring her back if he held them tight enough, he breaks down as he makes his way back to his seat, helped by his mother and older daughter. Ellie looks on in confusion through those big blue eyes she got from her father. She cannot understand yet, why Daddy's crying, where Mommy's gone. Not yet. But someday.
And as Rick pulls his youngest to him tightly with a hand running through her loose brunette curls gently as he once did to her, she hopes he can find love in this family again. Find the love she got the honor of having and sharing with him for those seven years in his family- both blood and precinct. Because he deserves that- to love again. And she will always love him here until he someday in the far, far future comes to join her in this land of mist and fog.
#OH GOD I STARTED CRYING WRITING THIS #ABORT #fanfiction #mine #prompt #anon #thanks for the prompt! #castle #castle fanfiction #ANGST #ANGST ANGST ANGST #angsty fanfiction #MAJOR CHARACTER DEATH #Richard Castle #Kate Beckett #Caskett
"Prompt if you're up for it: Castle and Beckett right after their first child is born (you can include the events leading up to it too if you like, it's all up to you) :)"
Oh I'm always up for a prompt! 8D This one ran away from me a bit admittedly.
They stood in front of the glass with her leaning against his side, a smile stuck onto both of their faces. That smile wasn't going to leave for quite some time. But she didn't mind. This was their baby. Their beautiful, beautiful little boy. They had a child. Her child. His child. Their child. Oh my god.
"He's beautiful, Kate," he said, nestling his face into her hair, "He's so beautiful."
"He had your eyes," she said softly, looking at the sleeping little baby wrapped up in blue, "He opened his eyes and his eyes were so blue, just like yours."
"He has your strength though," he said, hand wrapping around hers and squeezing lightly,
"I remember he grabbed at my finger and he was already so, so strong. I hope he'll be as strong as you someday, Kate."
She smiled absently, focus still on the little boy, "I'm sure he will be. Though I sincerely hope he will never go through what I did…"
"He won't," he said, tugging her closer into his body, "We'll make sure it will never happen, not until he's grown and with his own family."
"We can't promise that," she breathed, "What happens if I'm on the job and something happens? What happens then, Castle?"
"Kate, we've had this discussion before," he said, "You know that if you hadn't been going through the last part of your pregnancy being away from the precinct that long would've killed you. You know that."
"I know… it's just…" she sighed, "I just…"
"If there's one thing you learn as a parent," he interjected, "It's that you can't protect your kids from everything. As much as you try to be the impenetrable shield that keeps out all the darkness, someday something is going to slip through. And that's okay. All we can do is make sure we give him the best chance we can give him. And you can do that by being happy at the precinct."
"I know," she said, "Can't really picture myself as the soccer mom too well."
He chuckled, "I'm sure you'd find a way to make it fit. Just imagine- you in the kitchen, making cookies for the next school fundraiser…"
"In your dreams," she grumbled, "That's… no. Not happening. No. You're right."
They stood in silence for a moment, just standing and looking at the little boy, their precious son. He squirmed in his cradle, curling into his side with an adorable yawn.
Family. They were a family.
Rick, Her, Alexis, the baby, and Sherlock.
Yes, Sherlock.
She had eventually been forced to succumb (or rather, her hormones decided that it was time for her to throw up) to letting that be the name for the puppy. Yes, a puppy.
It had been Rick's idea. He'd be the one taking care of it, as now instead of being at the precinct every day he'd be spending more time at home with the baby. She'd been conflicted about it. She wanted a parent to be there for the baby, but she also wanted him at the precinct. But she knew she couldn't be selfish, and the baby was number one. Especially now, the baby was definitely number one in her world, no doubt about that. But anyway.
One day she came out of their room to see a bit of a surprise.
"Castle?" she said, stumbling out of their room groggily, "Where are you?"
The baby wasn't too happy with her being up and about, kicking in retaliation. The kicks had been getting more and more frequent lately. Castle had called the baby their little Joey a couple times. Like a kangaroo baby, he always said. She rubbed a hand over her ever-swelling belly, "Shh little man, shhh… Just getting up, it's not the end of the world."
The kicking stopped.
Now where was her other man?
"Living room, Kate," he called, and she turned to face the couch. Oh my god, was that a…
An adorable little golden retriever, or some mix of golden and something else, puppy sat on the couch (of course it was on the couch, of course it was), a Sherlock hat on its head and a mini banner around its neck. Her sleep-addled eyes apparently didn't feel like being capable of reading what it said, so she shuffled closer to take a look.
"Castle, is this a dog?" she accused, raising an eyebrow at him.
"No it's a unicorn," he said with a grin. She rolled her eyes before turning back to the adorable puppy. It blinked big brown eyes at her and its hat fell into its eyes. The puppy yelped, falling backwards as the hat slid off. It got back to vertical, looked up at her, and she could've sworn it was smiling. How could she be upset at that face? "It's the dog we agreed to get, remember?"
"No," she said, shaking her head, sitting down on the couch on the other side of the puppy than Castle, "I don't. Was I still asleep?"
"Maybe," he said, "But you said yes to getting a dog so the baby would have a playmate. You also agreed to naming it Sherlock."
"Are you sure this is me you're talking about?" she said, "Guess that name explains the hat."
He nodded, "Isn't it cute, though?"
"Hate to admit it, but it is," she said, smiling at the puppy as it jumped on the hat, "What's the banner say?"
"Baby's Best Friend," he said, taking up the hat and letting the puppy pull at it with tiny teeth, "Fitting, huh?"
"Yeah, it is," she said, jolting a bit as the baby kicked, "What now, little Joey?"
"The baby kicking again?" he asked, putting half of his attention on the puppy and half on her, "Do you think he likes his new friend already?"
The puppy let go of the hat, bounding over Castle's legs towards Kate's rounded stomach. They froze as the puppy sniffed at her stomach, beginning to wag his tail moments later. Sherlock barked. The baby kicked again.
"I think they already have a great relationship," she said.
"Did I mention who this pup's grandfather is?" he said after a moment's pause.
"…No," she said, "Should I be worried?"
"No! Not at all," he said, smiling, "You remember that dog show case the year before we got together?"
"With that reality tv show girl?" she said, wrinkling her nose, "Yes, yes I do."
"Remember that dog we shared for a couple of days? Royal?"
"Yeah, and I remember you spoiled him rotten."
"I did not-" he started, and she shot him a look, "Alright, maybe a little. But that's not the point. Well Sherlock here would be his grandson."
"Really?" she said with a smile, "Guess that explains the fixation with the couch."
"Totally does," he said. They sat in each other's arms for a little while longer, going in for a kiss. As if just to remind everyone that they were there too, the puppy bounced up in between them followed by the baby kicking her again.
"Ouch!" he said, "I felt that one."
"Imagine how they must feel for me then," she huffed, "This little boy might well be a kangaroo, he kicks so much."
He smiled, "Well, I'm sure it'll all be worth it in the end."
"It will be," she said, "It will be."
And oh, it was.
Standing on the border of his apartment with the boy wrapped tightly in her arms, she knew it. A colorful banner stood at the entrance of their door, and a little note from "Sherlock" adorned the bottom of it, signed with a pawprint. At the sight she knew. She knew it was worth every kick, every bout of awful morning sickness, and every hormone-riddled mood swing. It was so very, very worth it.

Fatlace x FTC Skate Deck & Tee
San Francisco's FTC and Fatlace link up for a special tee and deck set. Designed by Fatlace's Mark Arcenal, the set gives Mark somewhat of a return to FTC as he used to design for the renowned skate shop some years back. Mark breaks down the design as "…thinking of that hustle, thinking of all the pieces of the puzzle." The set is now available through FTC as well Fatlace online, with the tee retailing for $30 USD and the deck set at $50 USD.

Gary built this realistic representation of the famous battle from the Zulu War of 1879.
I remember of an old movie I saw with my grandfather, many years ago, about this war. The picture I have in my mind of the battle between the Zulu and British soldiers is precisely the same as the one Gary published on Eurobricks. Quite impressive!
Regarding the building techniques I would like to highlight the wall texture, the thatched roof and the ground.

Battle of Rorke's Drift, Jan 22, 1879August 9, 2014
Gary built this realistic representation of the famous battle from the Zulu War of 1879.
The British ultimatumAugust 18, 2010
Cuahchic built an interesting historical moment of the meeting under a wild fig tree on the Lower Thukela Drift, Natal Province, on 11th December 1878, between the Zulu's king envoys and the British colony representatives. Present at this historic meeting was John Wesley Shepstone – Frere's representative – who read to the Zulus a British ultimatum. You may read more about it at the MOC's page.
The tree if the most notable detail were Cuahchic applied good techniques to get the volume effect of the tree leaves.
See more pictures here.
Zimbad CastleDecember 29, 2009
Mark Stafford was quite imaginative when he built the Zimbad Castle. The walls are fantastic with the color variance between light and dark tan. Nice work.
I suspect that with the incoming Prince of Persia sets for 2010, more MOCs like this one will start to appear :)
Read the detailed description in MOCPages.

2012 Doctor's Vineyard Pinot Noir
Doctor's Vineyard is located at about 400-550 ft. in elevation and has a Southeastern exposure. Testarossa currently receives 40 of the 194 acres of Pinot Noir planted at Doctor's. The vineyard was originally planted in 1991 and Testarossa's blocks include more than 10 different Pinot Noir clones.
Tasting Notes
"Deep red color. The density of this Pinot is so intense, it has difficulty showing openness on the aroma profile. Subtle notes of anise, dried herbs, sage, orange-peel, papaya, chokecherry, and pomegranate make for a very complex showing. All of these characters build intensity on the richly layered palate. Silky and seductive tannins unite with a pure, vibrant finish, maintaining a very lively experience. Drink now through 2020".
~Bill Brosseau, Director of Winemaking

We have recently changed from Select Plus to Open Value Subscription
I had a KMS server in place whilst we were testing Win 7 & Office 2010 which seemed to be working well.
If I log in to the Volume Licening Service Center I can see two sets of keys for Office 2010 (KMS) and Windows 7 (KMS).
My Select Plus at some point will expire so I presume I need to do something on the KMS server to change the licence codes for Office 2010 and Windows 7.
Also I cannot remember the exact procedure for setting up the KMS service - will that also require some changes - ie. is it somehow pointint at my old agreement codes and I need to edit that also to point at my new agreement codes.
Sorry if this is a bit basic but I find the whole licencing thing quite confusing :(

Let's get started with the Cougs and Huskies before I have to hit a meeting.
The one thing I learned while covering high school football is that seniors make or break your season. There are lots of reasons for it that I won't delve into here, but trust me.
Now it seems like that might also be the case with the Cougars this year, albeit on a smaller scale. Glenn Kasses profiled fifth-year senior Josh Duin today, and the Seattle Times' Craig Smith wrote about all the fifth-year guys.
Glenn also had more on the center battle on his blog entry this morning. He also covered the verbal committment WSU's hoop team received from Nick Witherill, a guard from Arizona, and the Cougs' 2006-07 basketball schedule. Glenn's story about Witherill is here.
Todd Milles also wrote about a fifth-year senior, tight end Cody Boyd, whose Cougar career has been hampered by injuries.
It's nice to know the WSU campus police don't play favorites. Read to the bottom of Jim Moore's column and you'll see what I mean.
On the other end of the experience spectrum, the P-I's Molly Yanity writes about three Husky freshman who might contribute this year. Ferris High grad Cameron Elisara seems the most confident of the trio.
Uh oh, there's already dissension in the Husky camp, and it's coming from a senior. According to Bob Condotta's story, two-year starter Scott White has been running with the second team, and the linebacker isn't happy about it.

Source: Lindsey Hunter has asked
#Suns for permission to interview for #Pistons HC vacancy. It will likely be granted soon.
Hunter was completely overwhelmed in Phoenix, where he was promoted to head coach after Alvin Gentry's mid-season departure. Hunter obviously didn't have much time to prepare – he was previously the team's player development director, not even an assistant coach – so his struggles are somewhat understandable. If someone were to build a case for Hunter, he could claim Hunter would do much better with adequate time to develop and install his system.
But that's what Michael Curry could do, too.
When the Pistons traded Chauncey Billups for Allen Iverson, Curry couldn't handle it. Curry spent all offseason developing a plan for the group of players he thought he'd be coaching, and when those players changed, Curry was nearly as overwhelmed as Hunter was. Being an NBA head coach takes more flexibility than that.
His experience in Phoenix – still ongoing until the Suns, who just fired their general manager, fire him – might prepare him to be a head coach again some day, but Hunter isn't ready now.

Realtek audio crash
I have a relatively new computer with Windows 7 Pro 64 bit installed, along with RealTek Audio. For some reason, I get a little red x over the speaker icon, which I then click, which brings up the wizard that fixes the issue, at least until it occurs again, which it does frequently, even though my audio does work when there is no red x. The problem it corrects is this:
Playing Audio Publisher details
Issues found
One or more audio service isn't runningOne or more audio service isn't running
Both the Windows Audio and the Windows Audio End Point Builder services must be running for audio to work correctly. Atleast one of these services isn't running. Fixed
Start required audio services Completed
Any ideas on what's going on here? I thought my Logetek 9000 webcam was the issues, but when I uninstalled it, no change. One odd observation: when I play Solitaire and shut down the little program, this problem almost always happens. Strange huh?
|My System Specs
|14 Sep 2012
Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit
For some reason it seems that these audio services are becoming routinely disabled when not in use.
To reenable them right-click on your taskbar and select Start Task Manager. In the box that pops up (you may have to allow it to run if you have User Account Control enabled) click on the Services tab, and then in the bottom right corner there is a button also titled Services.
In the new window which appears (again you may have to allow if UAC pops up) scroll down to pretty much the bottom of the list and, in alphabetical order, you should find Windows Audio and Windows Audio Endpoint Builder.
Right-click on Windows Audio and select Properties. In the box that appears around the middle you will see Startup Type, which will be a dropdown menu. If it says anything other than Automatic then select, you guessed it, Automatic.
Click Apply, then OK.
Repeat the same steps for Windows Audio Endpoint Builder and hopefully this should solve your problem!
If you have any problems, or if the services already have their startup type set to Automatic, let us know.
|My System Specs
|16 Sep 2012
I actually already had done what you suggested. Automatic is selected on both services, and at all three levels. One of the two services, HD Audio or End Point Service apparently stops when it wants to and does not reset until I run the task manager. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling drivers with the most current versions: I've tried uninstalling my Logitek Webcam 9000. I'm at my wits end. Any other suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much!

|& etc.
Tallis liked the wealthier parts of the city, Noblemen were easy targets, and didn't realize half their coin had gone missing until the day was half finished. It was easy money. Lack of a purpose meant a lack of jobs for Tallis, and unfortunately that also meant she didn't make any coin of her own. Fortunately there were enough unsuspecting nobles in the city to sustain her until someone came up.
Sizing up how much money was in her coin purse, the renegade noticed a woman a little distance in front of her. She wasn't local, not the right dress, but she had the poise and presence of a Noblewoman. A most interesting mark. Even-more interesting when Tallis noticed the seal of the royal family of the Anderfells on her bag. Her various scouting missions outside of Qunari lands had clearly paid off.
She decided it was only rude not to introduce herself, perhaps she'd try her hand at working for Royalty? "You're awfully far away from the Anderfells, what brings you here of all places?" though her curiosity was genuine, Tallis still kept her eyes firmly on the prize.
Vera was by no means stupid. She was approached by someone unexpectedly on the fringes of Hightown, a someone who was dressed in garbs that belonged to no noble family, but rather a rogue of sorts. Firm leather and well well fitted plates were certainly no kind of armour befitting any family of wealth, that much was clear. Furthermore, her darting eyes were noted but not drawn upon, and the noblewoman made no movement to show that she knew.
"You have keen eyes." She replied fluidly, voice rolling smoothly from her throat in response, accent thick though gentle in comparison to the heavy tongues to the south. There was an obvious duality to her words, though she was primarily speaking of the rogue's ability to pick up on her origin.
"I am stuck," Vera replied, laced fingers falling free to move as she explained, hand lifting to expose her unblemished, moving palm, "there is no desire to stay here as my destination is Denerim, though here I remain." She gave no more information than that, as it was quite frankly no business of anyone else's by her own. Her venture was of a politician's agenda; a grand ambition to be posed to the head of Ferelden's state, though it was not information she wished to divulge. She was no fool.
"And pray tell, what interest would you have in someone such as myself?" She prompted curiously as a slender brow arched over one of her eyes. "From where does your knowledge stem, I wonder?"
Well, that ended pretty quickly. The fact that she was irritated only served to amuse him. Aedan watched her hop off of the rock with mild interest. Scratching at his stubble, he couldn't help but to find the whole situation a bit queer.
"Your pride will get you killed before you reach Denerim." Foolish woman. Either way, he had no intention of helping someone that was going to be so unpleasant. When she said goodbye he merely waved before kicking back.
She'd either be back before nightfall or by some miracle make it to Kirkwall. He was betting on the latter, as the general populace outside of Kirkwall was hardly friendly. "Goodbye, good luck!" He said this with utmost sincerity—she'd need it. "Stick to the coastline lest you want the Tal-Vashoth to be less than pleasant." Aedan called after her before deciding to spend the rest of the afternoon relaxing. He began to start on another carving, this time of a rose, and chose to wait.
It would be interesting to see if she came back. After all, he had little faith in the refuse that thrived in this area.
And back by nightfall she was. His directions had not helped her in the slightest, and if anything, had her become increasingly frustrated. She returned more of a disheveled state than she had left in, previously placid face now creased with frustration and anger. Only several arrows remained in the quiver that had been full when she left, one of which was nocked and held at her waist as if the firelight her earlier rescuer was near belonged to an animal or prey of sorts. She had no other choice at this point than to retrace her steps and return, so unfortunately she was forced to return to him.
"Do you find some kind of amusement," she called as she emerged from the darkness that surrounded the area, expression smoothing into the usual blank slate, "through sending people off with a poor excuse for directions they so kindly requested?" The words she uttered were just as equally emotionless, earthy eyes both strong and impenetrable, successfully concealing whatever emotions stirred within her. It was the look of a soldier, or rather the mentality of one. It was the way of life she had engrossed herself within; military and politics moulded her to be as such.
Vera almost found herself demanding his assistance. She knew full well what he was capable of from hours before, yet he remained stubborn and immovable. He was trained and skillful, yet he lived primitively amongst bandits and thieves despite having nothing to do with them. These were facts that she gathered during her time attempting to navigate through the Wounded Coast without losing her own life in the process. Instead of insisting on his aid like every noble she knew of would, she kept her mouth closed knowing full well that such demands would get her nowhere. He had no reason to assist her, and more than likely found some sick kind of amusement in her struggles, as she assumed before.
"Will you take me?" A question, naturally, though it sounded more like a demand than anything. Perhaps it was, just spoken tactfully. "Seeing as you have failed to direct me adequately, I implore you to see me there. You will receive payment for your efforts once we arrive." Perhaps that was what he was looking for immediately. A reward of sorts, that was. Bandit types were all the same.

Sleeping outdoors was absolutely wretched. It wasn't the wilderness that bothered her, but rather the unfamiliarity of the foreign land she was in. The darkness enshrouded everything around her—it threw off her senses and essentially blinded her.
Vera when and how managed to gather bearings must have been by the virtue of some miracle, though she unfortunately roused the man who had become her sword and shield amidst it. Quiet questions escaped his mouth, voice rough either from his own fatigue or in attempt to draw her attention, though she was uncertain. Instead, the Anderfels tsarina didn't respond, as she had instead been focusing on finding her balance.
There was a shuffle next to her—Aedan. He had to have been sitting up, though she wasn't paying attention. She finally found her way onto her feet, dim light of the fire's dying embers beckoning her forth to tend to. A breath of her own escaped her lips in response to him that he had fallen asleep and left the fire to die, and in turn she was given a simple mumbled response. It wasn't whatever that woke her—the lack of heat in this case—that he was questioning, but rather a warning. For her remain upon her bedroll lest she trip over him.
And trip on him she did.
Vera stumbled, knees colliding with the firm earth at either side of his waist. She caught herself luckily, one palm slamming against he ground beside his head, the other clipping his shoulder. Gravity forced her down even further despite the support of her limbs, and Vera's body had mistakenly tumbled onto his entirely.
There was a brief hiccup in her chest when her mouth met his, head swimming, body freezing in both confusion and disbelief. She didn't know how to move, whether to retreat or proceed (how to proceed!?) and within moments following she scrambled to clamour off of him as cleanly as she could. An endless stream of apologies mixed with accusations and blame escaped her. If he hadn't fallen asleep to begin with—or Maker forbid moved!—then they wouldn't have found themselves within the awkward position they were now. Her chatter was short-lived however, and with a sudden exhale she retreated back before she made a fool out of herself or acted on the uncomfortable thrumming within her chest even further.
Olivia Wilde
"Watching your weight, I see." Aedan had a smartass comment for just about everything. A long, long time ago he would have immediately been at this woman's side. He wasn't the same man he had been back at Antiva. Many aspects of him remained the same, but he'd rather say smartass remarks and drive the woman away. It was safer that way—at least for him.
He shrugged and scooped out some soup for himself and set the other bowl and spoon near the fire. Aedan sat down, watching the woman as she climbed atop a rock form. At least it was something different. After all, killing raiders and gathering food got pretty damn boring.
Aedan listened to her as he munched on his soup. Really, the whole ordeal was ridiculous. He had half a mind to turn her away, to say that he had no interest in helping her.
But he did. So he merely sighed as if to say he was far too old for this horse shit.
"Kirkwall is half a day's walk." He paused, finishing up his bowl of soup. Aedan set his own bowl on the ground before he got up and motioned toward the city's general direction. "A bit less if you are not worried about breaking a sweat." Perhaps he was going to be kind to her, but the smartass comments were here to stay. At least for now.
"I will serve and protect you on this journey, if you wish." He smiled wryly. "To Kirkwall, of course. I hardly wish to commit myself to such a long journey—even if the lady in question has a pretty face."
Vera snapped her head towards him, vibrant eyes narrowing in distaste at his ill humour in her expense. As far as she was concerned, she didn't ask him to help her, nor had she asked for any sort of shelter. So with an indignant jump down from the top of the rock she had used for elevation, the Anderfels Tsarina planted the heel of her boots deeply into the sand before turning away from him in irritation. How dare he.
"I merely asked for direction," she snapped, "Nothing more." She turned her nose up at him, piercing, emerald eyes staring over at him disapprovingly before she looked towards the very vague direction he pointed her in. If his goal was to drive her away, then he succeeded, because she wanted nothing to do with him now.
"Dobry den'. She bid him farewell as she gave a sharp, curt nod. Her knees bent fluidly, and though the bow she had given was done through mild disdain, the very action was ingrained into her being. She was thankful for his timely assistance when it had been given, but he had proven to be terrible company to keep. Then again, what would she have expected of a hermit residing in such a remote location?
Her expression remained placid however, lips pulled back into a firm line, eyes alert and wide; she gave no hint of her aggravation, nor would she at this point. He was nothing to her. Whatever debt she might have owed him for his service had been long-since erased once his true colours showed, so with a stately, yet strangely bellicose stride, Vera brushed by him soundlessly towards Kirkwall's general direction.
Like Aedan gave a fuck. In fact, he merely turned away from her and began walking back toward his home. There was little more he could do with this woman and he honestly didn't feel like sticking around to chat. "I am quite daft, yes."
Then, as he sheathed his sword, he turned back to face her. "You may come to my home if you wish to have a warm meal. Alternatively, you can wander about and make more 'friends' with the Qunari or raiders." The soup was over the fire and he didn't want to burn it.
Without waiting to see if she was going to follow him or not, he walked uphill and past some large rock formations. He lived in a small cave that tended to have a nasty spider problem. After a couple years of murdering its inhabitants, the spiders left him very much alone. In fact, they were quite useful in keeping others out. Stupid beasts, but if you beat a stupid beast enough with a stick it eventually learned to avoid you.
Outside the alcove a pot was held over a fire by a not so sturdy contraption. He kind of half assed making it, mainly because it was rare for him to make soup in the first place. Usually he'd just roast some fish over a fire, but sometimes he got tired of the bland flavor. Earlier in the morning he had gathered edible berries and herbs to use as seasoning. Vegetables he had grown himself further up toward Sundermount were used to add substance. Of course, the meat of choice was fish because what the fuck else was there?
He gave the soup a stir and tasted it. "Not bad." Especially considering that he wasn't a cook, he was a warrior. Deciding that it was just about ready he went into the cave and procured two bowls and some spoons that he had carved himself. They were quite ornate for someone that lived on his own. Aedan hardly lived like a king, but there were some hobbies he kept to pass the time—carving being one of them. Aedan looked in the direction from which he came, wondering if the woman had followed him after all.
She didn't have much of an option, did she? Sure, she was capable enough to venture out on her own, though she didn't want to pit herself against another swarm of raiders. The action was not only dangerous, but the outcome could be fatal. With great hesitation—and certainly not because he said so—Vera proceeded to follow after him, footsteps light, but weapon still drawn.
There was a look of confusion and perhaps mortification that flashed through her eyes as she approached the alcove he seemed to inhabit. He lived here? When the warrior said it wasn't far, she assumed it was off the Wounded Coast, not… Dwelling in a cave of sorts.
"Thank you for the offer, but I will pass." Having something in her stomach would have been the best if she was going to set out for Kirkwall again, though she wasn't foolish. There had been too many times where she heard stories and myths of similar tactics used to lure another in; feign kindness and hospitality only to strike when defenses were lowered. Though the nameless warrior did not seem like the type, she had to be careful.
Vera moved to climb up the face of nearby rock, the toe of one fur-lined, form fitting boot hitching within one of many divots as she proceeded to the top, body elevated above ground level once she reached her destination. She needed a better view to know exactly where she was, though the landscape seemed different now and she was unable to tell.
"I need to get to Kirkwall." She stated, turning to face him as she lifted a hand to both shield her eyes from the sun and push her hair from her face. She required assistance. The question was, would he be willing to help? The chances were slim, but she could try.
"Denerim, really. But Kirkwall will suffice for now."

The 98th Tour de France cycling race kicked off on July 2, as 18 teams of nine riders departed from the the Passage du Gois in western France. Mark Cavendish of Britain just won the 11th stage of 21, which took place today in Lavaur, but French rider Thomas Voeckler still wears the yellow jersey of the overall leader. The first half of the tour this year has been plagued by crashes, most notably Netherlands rider Johnny Hoogerland's tumble into a barbed-wire fence after being bumped off the road by a car. The Tour continues until July 24, heading into the Alps for grueling mountain stages in the second half of the race. The entire tour will cover a distance of 3,430.5 kilometers (2,132 miles).

Are you tired of seeing sites that try to pass of any dark-haired chick as Latina? Well, one good thing about Latin XXX Girls is its models are legit Latinas. Unfortunately, there are some not so good things to say about the site as well.
Site design is good enough, although finding everything is a little confusing at first. There isn't a photo section on LatinXXXGirls, just an area for videos where there are only six vids marked as coming with photos.
However, if you go to the models page and click through all the images, you will see that some have one or two sets of pics, while others have none. What this means, as far as numbers go, is that there are about 25 photo sets and 39 videos.
You will see spicy babes in one-on-one hardcore scenes, threesomes, a few foursomes and I saw one chick take it up the ass. The site claims to find these chicks all over the world, but I'm not sure how they can afford to travel given the low production value of the content. Not that I mind, as I tend to like amateur porn – and this stuff is at least competently filmed.
The photos look great for medium-res pics. The same can't be said for the videos, though. Each flick is downloadable in a series of clips in Windows Media format. The quality varies from mediocre to average and only a few have a full-length option. Also, there is just one thumbnail for each scene, so it's not like you can really know where each clip fits into the scene until you download it. At least they download quickly.
There is an updates section, however the most recent update is from May 2008. So, I am going to go out on a limb here and say that they aren't updating anymore. Your membership used to get you access to a couple of other sites, but I don't see links for them anymore. Overall the lack of updates and generally mediocre quality of the material make Latin XXX Girls an average site. I've seen other sites that give you more for your money.
