Foot Locker backs Urban Music Awards
LONDON - Foot Locker, the sports retailer, is sponsoring the Next Urban Superstar category at the Urban Music Awards and will be hosting auditions in its stores.
Marketing agency Momentum Manchester has developed the campaign for the retailer, which runs parallel to an 'X Factor' style TV show following the competition to claim the Next Urban Superstar title.
The winner will secure a recording contract and will be presented with the 'Britain's Next Urban Superstar' award at the UMA ceremony on November 1.
The Urban Music Awards are run by Invincible Media Group, which owns bi-monthly urban music magazine Invincible.
Budding urban artists can audition at Invincible Media's live events and private booths in Foot Locker stores across 20 cities throughout the UK until September.
The events also feature street acts including breakdancing and beatboxing.
Successful entrants will qualify for televised heats that will be broadcast online on Invincible TV.
Jordan Kensington, chief executive officer of the Urban Music Awards and Invincible Media Group, said: "We've had a very positive experience working with both Foot Locker and Momentum on the launch of this year's most anticipated TV show -- 'Britain's Next Urban Superstar'."
Emma Kershaw, Momentum Manchester's account manager, said: "The brief was to create awareness of the sponsorship and really engage with the Foot Locker consumer.
"By taking the auditions to the streets, Foot Locker has opened the competition up to their customers and urban artists who may not have the nerve to attend the live auditions."

Darth Paul says:
"In Vader's own words… "The ability to destroy a planet is insignificant next to the power of the Force." i.e. no matter how angry or strong Hulk gets with the Force at his side Vader wins. The Force is the ultimate power in the universe and in the right hands of a powerful sith or jedi something that not even a living weapon of mass destruction such as the Hulk can withstand.
Post Edited:2007-04-17 15:25:27"
remember the force yes, yoda no, ankain/vader no. even luke no, none of them have done anything close to that, the force was around before jedi/sith, and will be around....long after
it a power in it universe and it has it limits...and cost!!!!!(DARK SIDE)
how do we even know the force will work on the hulk now that i think about it,
it did not work on invaders from outside the know galaxy of stw, the Yuuzhan Vong, the force did not reall work on them?
vader may just lose his other hand(you know those skywalkers always losing body parts) yup may the force be with you

Best dives?
- jazzlover Feb 15, 2007 12:14 PM
Looking for good, inexpensive, relatively authentice - anything but Indian.
Just about anywhere, but primarily Pasadena, NE Los Angeles, Burbank, Glendale, downtown, Silverlake, etc.
The Prince
3198 W Seventh St
Los Angeles, CA 90005
(213) 389-2007
"If this sucker doesn't grab you then your octopus has been dead too long"
The Prince has a couple of amazing dishes. The Korean fried chicken is good as is the super spicy fried chicken.
Tacomiendo has great taqueria items and other Mexican dishes. And the tortillas they use for the tacos are made fresh - you'll see them being pressed as you make your order. I know of two locations: Inglewood Blvd, just south of Culver, and on Gateway, about a half block east of Barrington.
Tonny's, on Orange Grove just west of Lake in NE Pasadena, has chile verde, machaca, and birria which is terrific, and it's abierto 24 horas. Most times I have gone (probably a dozen or so) it has been packed regardless of the time of day or night.
My favorite dives:
J & J Shanghai (aka Jin Jian)
301 W. Valley Blvd. #109
San Gabriel, CA 91776
(626) 308-9238
Pho 87
1019 N Broadway
Los Angeles, CA 90012
(323) 227-0758
(not exactly a dive but very casual and inexpensive, great place for breakfast)
Rutt's Hawaiian Cafe
12114 Washington Blvd.
Los Angeles, CA 90066
(310) 398-6326
A couple of other spots that might be what you are looking for. Yuca's is a true dive with excellent grilled carne asada, machacha, carnitas and cochinita pibil.
2056 Hillhurst Ave (Cross Street: Ambrose Avenue)
Los Angeles, CA 90027-2719
(323) 662-1214
And Dino's on Pico Blvd. in the Pico-Union district for their chicken manaico plate. $5 for a half chicken, fries soaked in the manaico sauce and some tortillas to wrap it up in.
2575 W Pico Blvd
Los Angeles, CA · More Locations
Phone: (213) 380-3554
Since you are interested in those areas, this thread on Top 5 Cheap restaurants will probably be of great use:
Assuming you want dive-y restaurants, and not bars, see:
Thi's reviews of half the noodle houses in Thai-town. Some have moved; most are still there, or can be found by a little digging around.
in Glendale, there's Elena's, Chicken Al Wazir, and a half-dozen places, all called "something-Kabob-something" which I haven't tried.
in Eagle Rock, they're all being gentrified, but there are still some.
La Parrilla. The Mexican place at Sunset and Douglas.

An ingrown hair is a hair that curls and penetrates the skin with its tip, causing inflammation. Ingrown hairs are more common among people with very curly hair. Most ingrown hairs occur in the beard area on men and the bikini or groin area on women.
The most common symptom of an ingrown hair is redness and inflammation of the skin, followed by pus formation. However, each individual may experience symptoms differently. The symptoms of an ingrown hair may resemble other skin conditions. Always consult your doctor for a diagnosis.
Diagnosis of an ingrown hair can be confirmed with a medical history and a physical examination.
An ingrown hair often heals on its own. However, in the case of chronic ingrown hairs, treatment may include:
Allowing the hair to grow longer prior to shaving it
Removing the hair permanently through electrolysis, laser, or depilatory methods (liquids or creams)

Brad Pitt's impromptu wedding appearance makes guests go wild
It was a celebrity sighting like no other when Brad Pitt turned up at a British couple's wedding reception.
Newlyweds Abi and Daniel Lingwood noticed the "World War Z" actor sitting at the Stoke Park Hotel bar where their Sept. 13 reception took place.
"My husband said to me Brad Pitt was at the bar and you have got to come with me so he dragged me across the hotel," Abi told the Maidenhead Advertiser. "I thought he was joking."
Pitt was a big hit with the wedding guests, particularly the bridesmaids, who caused a stir as they rushed to get photos with the Oscar nominee.
"He said sure, no problem and said congratulations and I hope you have had a great day and lets have a picture," she said.
According to Today, Pitt was in England filming his upcoming World War II drama "Fury," which hits theaters November, 2014.
There's no word if Pitt bought the couple a toaster or a new microwave, but it's certain his appearance made their nuptials a little more special.

Patch 5.4: Mists of Pandaria Reputation Guides and Shaohao Guide
2013/10/13 at 12:18 PM
Patch 5.4 had many reputation changes, as well as the daunting
Emperor Shaohao
reputation to grind, so we've updated all of our popular Mists of Pandaria reputation guides! With the long weekend, it's the perfect time to finish up some rep grinds for mounts or other fun vanity items.
Of particular note:
Valor Points
gear now costs
Justice Points
, existing ilvl 458 gear is now 75% cheaper, and no gear purchasable with a currency requires reputation. You can still buy these items from quartermasters, but you don't need any reputation to do so.
Commander Lo Ping
sells all the ilvl 458 Justice Point gear, and
Commander Oxheart
sells all the ilvl 489 Justice Point gear--a little confusing since he's the Valor quartermaster.
Emperor Shaohao
guide now explains the pros and cons to each rep farming area, lists all the mobs that grant reputation, and includes details on the unique vanity items for
Going To Need A Bigger Bag
that they drop.
Golden Lotus
guide lists the handful of quests that haven't been removed, describes new cooking recipes in the zone, new locations for rare elites, and other changes in the Vale.
All the guides linked below have been updated for 5.4.

News Roundup: Patch 5.4 Hotfixes, BlizzCon Merchandise on Sale 10/11
2013/10/10 at 11:42 AM
More Patch 5.4 hotfixes were posted last night, as well as a change to the arena tiebreaker spell
The Crowd Chose You!!!
. It will be replaced with
where if a match should last for 10 minutes, all players in the Arena will begin to receive a stacking debuff that reduces healing done by 1% every 10 seconds.
Yesterday's hotfixes had a few raid tweaks, as well as fixes for outdoor bosses. The Ordon Sanctuary gate will no longer close when
is in combat, which is great for players farming Shaohao reputation who got locked out when running back from the graveyard. The number of wolves that can be summoned by
Call the Pack
ability now has a limit as well.
The BlizzCon online sale also starts tomorrow for attendees and Virtual Ticket holders at
October 11 at 10 a.m. PT
. We won't know what the store items are until tomorrow, but so far the teaser image looks great!

Hearthstone Interview with Eric Dodds and Jason Chayes
2013/10/04 at 3:17 PM
Along with Hearthstone's
significant beta patch
and card wipe this past week, we interviewed Lead Designer Eric Dodds and Production Director Jason Chayes today! We touched on some of their favorite changes in the beta, the success of
The Coin
, possible features in the future like alternate Warcraft hero options or co-op mode, how successful players are who haven't spent money on packs, and the fate of
If you're curious about this week's beta patch, check out the
closed beta patch notes
and browse our
updated database
What's your favorite change in this week's patch? Any particular hero or card you think players will really enjoy a lot more after the changes?
Jason Chayes
: One of the changes that we're pretty excited about on the team was getting in some new music during the matchmaking as you're waiting to get a match in Play mode. For players who have played Warcraft 2 in the past, it's a reference back to those themes. It's kind of a fun homage to our history and something we geeked out about, so I'm pretty excited for that.
In terms of cards that we're pretty excited about, one of the things we've been working on for a while that's only showing up in this patch is a large number of the Golden Cards are finally appearing--we think they look really awesome! Some of the more common ones, some of the legendaries, they're all looking great. If you can find it, you can see that the golden version of
Ragnaros the Firelord
looks pretty killer!
Eric Dodds
: My favorite card changes are probably for Priests, we changed a couple of their cards to be more aggressive cards. The priest was having some trouble mid-game so I'm excited to see where the priest stands out. Because he was having some trouble at the highest level, I'm expecting Anduin to be right back in there and swinging which I'm excited about.
From a features point of view, I'm just in love with all the new social stuff that went in, like the toasts--you can see what your friends are doing at any given time and when your friends complete an arena run, it will let you know how they did. We've been going crazy with it around the office going "oh hey, how is your arena run going'"or "oh you're opening some packs, that's awesome." People run over to other people's desks, it's been really exciting social environment.
So there's already been
a lot of discussion
The Coin
. Are you happy with the current state of
The Coin
, and how things are balanced between who goes first and second? Or could there be future adjustments to cards that could have potentially OP synergy?
So the route we're taking right now is to adjust the couple of outlier cards that really make
The Coin
very very powerful. So the
Twilight Drake
and the
Defias Ringleader
both were changed in this patch that just came out to try to address that issue.
The Coin
itself makes for pretty interesting gameplay. You play differently based on if you go first or second, you mulligan depending on what class your opponent is or whether they have
The Coin
or don't have
The Coin
. It makes for really interesting dynamic gameplay. There are these targeted specific card interactions that we're looking at.
What you can expect in the future is us to look at targeted interactions and again, all of that being said, at the highest levels, it's still looking like it's pretty even as far as first or second turn advantage goes. While there's sometimes an emotional feel like the person who has
The Coin
has more say with what's going on, there's a lot of power to going first as well. We're pretty happy with how it's going although you may see some card changes in the future based on that interaction.
Arena is a very accessible experience and there's been some tweaks for 5, 6, and 9 wins this patch, but do you think beginners are still daunted by the cost though, especially when they might lose a bit at first?
We wanted to make sure that as players are getting accustomed to the game, they wouldn't jump into arena right away. It's for that reason that you have to unlock all the heroes before you get a chance to go in. We know that the process of enlisting each of the 30 cards in your deck requires some amount of knowledge--the mana curve, what makes for a competitive deck, etc, and so the intention is to make that as accessible as we can. But you kinda want to know a little bit of what you're doing before you jump right in.
So in terms of the brand-new player, our advice is to get your feet wet a little before you jump right in to arena. But it is important to us, as you said, to go and play and have a chance to keep coming back to the arena. For that reason, we did juice up the gold rewards in the arena, so people have a better chance to get the gold they can use to come back to the arena in the future. Overall we're feeling pretty good with the changes we made in the patch, but we'll keep an eye on it in the beta and see how it goes.
Yeah, just as a suggestion--I know you guys did some crafting UI tweaks, and it would be pretty cool to record an arena deck that you happened to perform really awesomely with.
That's a really cool idea. We've seen people bragging a little about their coolest arena deck and throwing up shots on that on Facebook and other places, so having something up there where you can always see it is a cool idea.
Do you have any further rewards planned for the constructed ladder, such as cosmetic stuff or cards, in addition to getting more gold per win?
So it's something we're definitely talking about. We've gotten a lot of feedback from the beta about there hasn't been as much motivation for Play mode as we've liked, and that's something the team would like to do something about. We've been spending a lot of time talking about what the right rewards are to connect to Play Mode, and have a few ideas that we're batting around. Not in the far future, but actually something in the pretty-near term that we'd like to come back to and see what we can do to have more things linked to that particular game mode.
Are you happy with the gameplay balance between players that are playing Hearthstone as a free game and mostly getting upgrades from crafting and gold, vs those that have dropped a ton of money into the beta? Obviously you have more cards at your disposal if you spend cash, but you still have to know what you're doing.
It's actually something we have paid a lot of attention to and looked at a lot of the numbers behind it. Certainly one of the things that we saw in the alpha and continued to see is that players who are at 3 star Master level are actually players who have basically spent no money on the game. So we're seeing all the way through the spectrum that there are players who have spent money on the game and players that haven't spent money on the game.
And of course if you spend money, it gives you a lot more options, it give you a lot more flexibility in terms of "oh I've seen this deck is pretty powerful, I want to counter with this other deck" but as far as actual ability to participate in a given level, it seems like you can do pretty well even if you're just playing for free. Even if you're worried about that, the matchmaking system behind the scenes is always making sure that you're playing against a player of your skill level.
So what you can expect to see is say you're playing against someone with a number of expensive cards, or rare cards…first off, I think you have a fair chance of beating them. Really it's all coming down to kill with the cards making a small difference there. But also, if they have a ton of cards that seem powerful but you've been matched against them…you're probably better than they are, so it will still be a fair and exciting match.
Some of the legendaries seem OP in the right context but gimmicky otherwise, so if you don't really understand the cards, that could be still shut down.
Yeah, people have tried to build decks of all legendaries and they can be pretty terrible if you just say 'I'm just going to pick all the legendaries and put them into a deck!' Those decks are funny, but not especially powerful.
Can you talk a little bit more about some of the major card changes, like how the Warrior and Priest decks got some new tools? Also, are there any potentially problem cards on the horizon that didn't get changed yet but that you're watching closely?
As far as OP cards on the horizon, I have no idea! We made a number of changes, so I imagine over the next few weeks we'll be seeing trends occurring and we'll be seeing what's going on there.
As far as overall themes to the changes we made, we looked at the Warrior and decided that he needed a bit more card draw--a lot of their cards are useful in narrow circumstances but not as good when you're in top decking mode. So we wanted to take some of the cards that we're a little more niche and give them a little more heft and card draw. For the Priest, we looked at the Priest and went "the Priest is super fun and early on they do OK, but mid-game they have a problem where opponent puts out some big creatures and they just have no way of dealing with it." They get overrun and without heavy AE for mid to late game, and without the ability to deal with opponents dropping big creatures until they get to
Mind Control
on turn 8, they were having issues. so we put two cards in specifically to deal with this issue.
And then you can look at both the Druid and Rogue, which were a little bit on the strong side, and we made changes to both of those to try to bring them back down. And while we made a bunch of changes, our win percentages at the highest level are still relatively close, so we'll be watching in days and weeks to come to see how this new environment plays out. But we're pretty happy with the changes we made.
Going back to social improvements--this patch had some improvements like the toasts, but do you have any thoughts on more elaborate social things like custom rules among battle.net friends or co-op mode so groups of players can team up against each other?
Totally. We're basically just starting with things we'd like to do for social features. With this patch, we have the ability to see toasts when your friend completes an arena run or gets a legendary from a pack. You can also see what your buddies are doing if you check out the friends list. You can see them busting out cards opening packs or putting together a deck in the Collection Manager, and really what we want is people to engage with their buddies as they're playing Hearthstone.
So some of the ideas you're talking about like custom tournaments or other ways I can do more cooperative things with my buddies are things I'm thinking about. Those are features that typically take a bit longer for us to develop because they require a bit more pipelining and infrastructure, so they're not things we're planning for the release this year, but it is something we are laying into our plans for next year and figuring out what we can do to improve upon that experience.
General question about card and hero design--How do you guys keep deck and playstyle variety in each class, when a hero's power is a pretty unique and defining feature of that class?
So the Hero Power is defining of that class, but in a lot of ways, it's not the most powerful thing and certainly the change we made to Rogue was because we felt that the Rogue Hero Power was starting to really define how that class played. The Hero Power is always set up to be not cost-effective compared to another card of that cost. So, how you'll use a hero power is sort of a tactical choice, like "I have a 5 drop, and I have a 3 drop and my Hero Power. Should I drop that 5 drop or the 3 and use the Hero Power?" It helps to make that tactical choice rather than a defining choice as far as how that hero plays.
On a meta level, it impacts how you play. For example, the Hunter is always about putting pressure on their opponents. You can expect that 2 damage coming in every turn. But that's more a high-level overall flow of the game. Playing against a Hunter--it's going to be a pressure deck. But what kind of pressure deck? We don't really know. It could be overrunning you with Beasts, it could be hanging back and playing a defensive trap game and just shooting you every turn until you die and using a powerful card at the end to polish you off.
Are there plans to add any themed cards from other Blizzard games, or more game backdrops, in future patches?
As for the first question, in terms of other Blizzard games, right now we're focused on the Warcraft universe--the good news is that it's a very rich universe and there's a lot we can draw from. Both in the context of the World of Warcraft timeframe but back before that to the Warcraft RTS days. So we're pretty happy to be continuing to explore that space for a while.
In terms of more boards, I think that's definitely in the future for Hearthstone. Our art team has already started on where we want to go next. They have more ideas on more clickables and more ways to develop the awesome themes that remind players of when they played in their Warcraft days. That's definitely reasonable for everyone to expect to see in the upcoming months.
At one point the
was meant to be a mount you could use in WoW as a reward for joining the beta, but that's since changed. Are there any plans to have cross-game promotions still?
is something that is still coming up. We haven't announced how that's all going to work yet but there's a connection coming up with regards to that.
In terms of other cross-game promotional stuff, thats's something we think would be really cool for players of World of Warcraft--you want to see cool stuff in Hearthstone and vice versa, so we have a few ideas there. Nothing that we can quite announce today but something we're actively working on across both of our team and the WoW team.
I know people were asking about this when Hearthstone just came out, but with how WoW's lore is developing in 5.4, this seemed worth bringing up again. With how everyone hates Garrosh in 5.4, could there be options in the future to choose between new heroes for the same class that mechanically work the same but are cosmetically different? Like choosing Tyrande instead of Anduin for Priest, Varian instead of Garrosh for warrior.
Yeah, that's certainly a thing that we've heard a lot and have been paying a lot of attention to. We don't have anything to announce right now specifically, but we've planning on adding a lot of features in the future, and a lot of those features will be based on what the community is demanding. And we're hearing that this is the sort of thing the community would like. It's the sort of thing that I would not be surprised if this is something we do before all that long. Because it would be pretty exciting to do something like that.

Sentenced reduced for accomplice in fire attack
Published On: Mar 20 2013 02:58:39 PM EDT
Updated On: Apr 05 2013 12:02:19 PM EDT
Updated On: Apr 05 2013 12:02:19 PM EDT
A teenager serving time for pouring rubbing alcohol on Michael Brewer before he was set on fire had his sentenced reduced.
Denver Jarvis will serve eight years in prison followed by 10 years of probation. Originally, he was sentenced to 10 years in prison followed by two years of community control and 20 years of probation.
Jarvis testified at the trial of Matthew Bent, who prosecutors said was the ringleader in the attack on Brewer in 2009. A judge sentenced Bent to 11 years in prison following his conviction of aggravated battery.
The state attorney's office agreed to reduce Jarvis' sentence dealing with supervision after incarceration after consulting with the Brewer family and recognizing he testified without any benefit to him.

DJBooth Speaks With Nas During A "Best of Both Offices" Conference Call
New York, NY -- On Tuesday, the legendary Nas will release his much-hyped new album, "Untitled." The LP, which originally held the controversial title,"N*gger," is the ninth studio album of the rapper's career.
The release also marks the Queensbridge emcee's second under Def Jam Records.
In anticipation of the release, The Best of Both Offices held a conference call for DJs, websites and tastemakers. Nas yielded five questions from the hundred or so participants on the call; DJBooth was among the five chosen.

Back to school tips for pre-k kids
As kids get ready to go back to school, the Georgia Department of Early Care and Learning wants to make sure pre-kindergartners are ready.
Department officials are offering tips for the parents whose kids are involved in the state's pre-kindergarten programs.
It starts before a child gets to the school. Assistant Commissioner for Georgia's pre-k program Susan Adams says kids should be dressed in clothes they can independently manage. Once they get to the school a parent should inform the teacher of any allergies or dietary restrictions. Another thing to help out kids before their first day is to make sure they know where the restrooms are located.
Adams also suggests getting to school early to allow time for goodbyes.

XBMC 13 Will Have Tons Of Exciting Improvements
Published on 29 December 2013 05:06 AM EST
Written by
Michael Larabel
19 Comments
After the
XBMC 12.3 release
this week, the next major update due out for this incredibly popular multi-platform HTPC software is the XBMC 13.0 "Gotham" release.
XBMC 13 will be heavy on new and improved functionality just as with the major releases of the past. XBMC 13 will improve the PVR support throughout its stack, GUI improvements, Stereoscopic 3D rendering support, support for H.264 multi-threaded video decoding on the CPU, upgraded FFmpeg stack, a unified buffering capability, library support improvements, continued work on the AudioEngine, and various other improvements.
Linux-specific work includes VA-API handling for resolutions larger than 1080p (e.g. 4K Ultra HD), improved ARM support, improved OpenGL ES + EGL support, improved VA-API support, improved VDPAU upscaling/deinterlacing, improved OpenMAX video acceleration, hot-plug support for Linux input devices (including Bluetooth devices), improved 64-bit support, and SDL is no longer a requirement for X11 platforms.
While it will still be a while before the XBMC 13 release, details on the current changes already queued up for this first major release of 2014 can be found via the
XBMC.org Wiki
