Here we go, at last! The thrilling conclusion to Outlast, played by a man who ended how he started -- completely pickled.

re: Denver:
What strikes me the most is how no one is commenting on why the Broncos came back. ...
Kaba, I thought of you immediately when I read this in the AM. Anyone who has ever been in chat with you knows your feelings about Cam, but I'm curious what you think of elevating Caldwell? I mean, all those years in some position at the Colts was in name only, as Peyton was wearing at least 3 hats for the duration. Is Caldwell capable of calling plays? Are we sure he's going to be any better than Cam? (I know, I know, you'll take your chances ... )
I was sound asleep when the sound of Kaba's joyous roar from 3000 miles away woke me.
Unfortunately, Ray Rice is suffering the debilitating effects of an 8 hour orgasm and will be placed on IR tomorrow.
*edit* Also, how embarrassing would it be to get replaced at your job by a cardboard cut-out? Caldwell? Seriously?
I think it is hard to say whether or not Caldwell is or is not necessarily an upgrade. He is an unknown quantity as far as the NFL is concerned, as he hasn't called plays since his days as head coach at Wake Forest back in the nineties and up until 2000. From what little I can gather about his results, it seems that his teams there generally had a good passing game, but were rarely competent on the ground. It's hard to really interpret what that means, if it means anything at all, for how he'll call plays for the Ravens.
Desperate move? bold move? prudent move?
BAL faces DEN this weekend and to beat Manning, as the rest of the AFC South knows, you play keep away.
We're all waiting to see the playcalling, I hope NOT to see the no-huddle, BAL needs to run and run and run and run. I'm wondering if BAL D will hold up, maybe show zero retreat to one or two and test Mannings arm. Manning has thrown more floaters lately, to his left is where I noticed that tendency. If I see it I wonder if BAL does?
BAL could do the vanilla D thing that TB did well for a half, this game will be on my must watch list...

Our itinerary is: Sheik Zayed Mosque, the Emirates Palace Hotel, The Presidential Palace, the Art Institute, a walk on the Corniche, lunch at the Marina Mall, the Heritage Village and finally Yas Island where the Formula One race track is located.

Lawyers for a Chandler club and the building's landlord, the neighboring restaurant owners who are suing the club and the Chandler property owner have been battling it out at Maricopa County Superior Court this week.
Owners of Phase 54, a concert venue and club that opened May 7 off Interstate 10 and Ray Road, say their venue is good for business, has adequate parking and received a written agreement from the property owner to open.
However, the lawyer for the three restaurants and the property owner say Phase 54 is a night club, which is not allowed under the property's codes, covenants and restrictions.
The plaintiff's attorney Julianne Wheeler said the restaurants never agreed to the club opening and said there's not enough parking for all the businesses, which include Outback Steakhouse, Carrabba's Italian Grill and Charleston's, the three restaurants suing the club.
Judge J. Richard Gama has listened to three days of testimony this week. He received the case after Judge John Rea recused himself last week after it was discovered his bailiff is friends with the owner of Outback.
The lawsuit was filed two weeks before the club's grand opening. However, Rea allowed the club to open as planned.
On Tuesday, Gama found that a transcript of a taped conversation from an Outback manager complaining about the race of club patrons will not be allowed in the case. He said it would create confusion for the jury.
Jon Harris, Phase 54's owner, said that the real reason the restaurants don't want the club to stay open is because they're concerned by the racial background of club patrons.
Phase 54's Phoenix-based lawyer, John Moshier, said the venue is similar to Celebrity Theater and is a concert venue first.
He is arguing that no objections were raised to the city during the liquor license and permit process, and that the club agreed with most of the 10 demands in a letter sent in March. Agreeing to those terms was perceived as an agreement to open, Harris said.
Karen Bremer, the vice president of real estate for Private Restaurant Properties LLC and OSI Restaurant Partners Inc., testified that the letter was not an agreement. She said the club owner did not accept all 10 terms, so there was no agreement. She was also involved in writing the property's codes, covenants and restrictions.
The restaurant managers testified saying they had no parking issues when the club was open other than some valet barrier problems and cars left overnight.
Moshier is also arguing that none of the restaurant or property owners have ever been to Phase 54 while it was open and have no idea what goes on inside the club. He said the research of the club came from the website, which included old information from Harris' previous Phase 54 recording studio and night club.
Harris owned the Phase 54 recording studio in Tempe for 20 years, and then opened a lounge on top of the studio for four years. He sold the recording studio a year and a half ago.
Harris spent more than five months and more than $1 million gutting the building, which formerly housed a furniture store, to turn it into the venue it is today.
"We're a performance venue with a stage," Harris said. "People dance at Symphony Hall, but you wouldn't call it a night club."
The 26,100-square foot, two-story club, has a 4,000-square foot outdoor patio, a 5-foot tall large stage with full lighting and sound for bands and dancers to perform in a concert atmosphere. A resident DJ plays top 40 music at the club, which has 50 employees.
Phase 54, which is open from 8 p.m. to 2 a.m. Wednesday through Saturday, also features a large wine cellar.
The judge will set another court date next week to continue the case.
"I'm hoping the outcome will be that our use will be allowed," Harris said. "I hope that we will prevail in this case or that we can come together and make an agreement and dismiss this case so everybody can save money."

Only one headline
tonight! The Hangmen secure their first victory of the
season against Dunkin' Dönitz
The Results
Ethel Rodin squeaked past the History Men by a single point to keep their table-topping ambitions intact for another week.
Ivor reports from the loser's corner....
"This was our first return to the former Stadium of Murk
since it morphed into the Ladybarn Social Club -
and the first time we have ever been upstairs. In previous visits we
had been curious about the sounds of jazz and occasional dancing that
worked its way through the ceiling to the snug but tonight there were no
such interesting phenomena - just the clicking of snooker balls.
contest was very close with never more than two points between the two
teams, all played in a friendly yet competitive spirit (though I suspect
that one day Anne really will see someone in the car park - probably me
when I have my eleventy-eleventh blurt of the evening)."
James (who, by the way, offers his services as QM next week for anyone
short in that department) puts the boot in....
"Poor Ivor, much to the combined mirth of his team-mates
(on reflection schadenfreude is probably a better word than mirth),
failed to score a single '2' tonight - although he came mighty close
with eleventy-eleven."
The Charabancs of Fire edged ahead of The Electric Pigs early
on and kept their collective bonnet in front to the end. It was a
classic encounter between two teams who seem to have been playing each
other since ..... well early in the Chalcolithic age. I had the
privilege of QMing with Brian and Jitka on hand to ensure I kept to the
script. It was the first time I have been to a Pigs game this
season and how good to see Gerry Hennessy back in the team. He was
sorely missed in the league throughout last season. The game
featured a number of classic blurts, the best of which was the Chara's
noted Royal Question expert, Damian, getting his Tiggys and his Taras in
a tizz.
Albert beat The Prodigals at the Fletcher Moss to move into
the fourth slot in the table. Ashton observes....
"Nip and tuck at the Fletcher Moss until we got our noses
in front in the last two rounds - a win which ensured that Mike's
newly-minted 'paddle of rebuke' was not required to make an appearance.
Our form and discipline this season are much improved since this
Foster's Ad-inspired innovation. Look out for it at a South
Manchester venue near you next time we blurt a daft answer."
scored a memorable victory over Dunkin' Dönitz. First a delighted
"What a night to be a Hangman! After 7 years and 14
consecutive comprehensive defeats we finally have our first victory
against Dunkin' Dönitz. Obviously the quiz of the decade!
Fortunately for us Dönitz couldn't pick a chimp in a Hartlepool pet
shop. They got DNA, we got 12 years!"
followed by a delirious Graham....
"Well yawks a lordy! The Hangers post their first
points upon the board with a resounding 8 point victory over Dunkin'
Dönitz. What's more seven 2's from Il Capitano Dave Barras who was
only thwarted by his last question (which sadly wasn't about Darlo).
Hats firmly on the side of the head for the Hangers this week. Is
Dave Barras the new Tony Pulis?"
Kieran rounds off the input with much grace....
"The Men, who are an extraordinarily pleasant team to
play against, made a get well soon card for Barry (Ed: and so say all
of us). And Dave B had a rather good night, only being denied
8 twos by the Monstrous regiment of women right at the end."
Bards romped to yet another convincing
victory - this time defeating Compulsory Meat Raffle. Tony writes
"The students, as ever, were such good company. They were
enthralled by Eric's account - entirely fictitious of course - of his
return voyage from the Caribbean. Tales of Giant Squid off
the Grand Banks shooting oars into the skies sound good but are more Dr
Who than reality. When we got round to Percy Edwards and What's
My Line we were getting closer to reality! I got him away
eventually, and he went off home happy to have passed on some living
history. Our quiz was relatively high scoring with the students
getting a lot of 'twos'. Having said this I was a woeful Jonah for
our team."
The paper this week was set by The Opsimaths.
By some way the highest average aggregate score of the season to
date (80.8), this was a quiz with few unanswered questions.
Compared to last season when the second Opsimaths paper notched
up a measly average aggregate of 57.4, the lowest of that
season, this was a return to form. All seemed to like it
and there were few gripes. Credit largely goes to Brian
who compiled it all and modified accordingly when the other
Opsimaths fed back their comments. But it would be wrong
of me not to acknowledge the contribution of Paddy who played
for us throughout last season but is now pursuing his meeja
career in London. He sent us the well-liked, but somewhat
narcissistic, 'Theme with a progressive link' Round 3.
In the Charas v Pigs encounter Gary D liked the paper but did
query again why some of the themes had been announced at the
start of the round rather than left to be deduced by the teams.
In particular Rounds 1 and 8 had themes that could quite
reasonably be expected to be cracked after 2 or 3 questions and
this would have added to the fun.
Here are the other comments I received....
Tony: "I was dismayed at the start to hear that there
were Bingo rounds as well as a 'Choose Your Own Subject' round.
However the Bingo rounds, brilliantly, had themes - and
intelligent ones at that - and the subject round was also quite
cleverly crafted. So all is forgiven. Our
congratulations to the setters for a most enjoyable evening
analysing our general ignorance - which is what a typical
Withquiz night should be."
Ivor: "The quiz tonight was deemed to be of a very high
quality (especially as it was an Opsimaths paper!) and, as a
typesetter/printer/compiler myself, I appreciate the fact that
some Opsimath has spent a lot of time constructing the grids and
filling the envelopes correctly, never mind setting the
questions. The themes and connections were reasonably gettable
the running theme in Round 3 a tour de force (with even the
spare contributing). Sadly although I spotted the connection by
question 2, and was awaiting my Harry H Corbett in question 8,
it never came. Likewise David spotted the theme very early,
but equally sadly the early 1970s albums were not by Bread.
Tonight's frustrations were, as usual, plumping for the wrong answer
when there was a choice of two (the wrong MI organisation) and of
course picking the wrong questions from the grid. It is usually
James who complains about the unfairness of Lady Luck with this
style of question rounds but I bet he is not complaining tonight!"
Dave 'Egghead' R: "I really enjoyed this quiz. Well done
The Opsimaths!"
James: "Good quiz - enjoyed by both teams. Lots of fine
rounds with good themes. Plenty of excellent questions - and I think
only one dud (the one about the small man who turned out to be very
tall indeed). But overall well balanced and competitive from
start to finish.
The one about the Manchester Sports Guild Folk Club would be our
choice for QotW. That was the best theme round too. I'd
been trying to link 'Holy -----' with a word from each answer before
we twigged the link."
Ashton: "QotW agreed by both teams - the one about the ratios in
the 'Big' final round."
Dave B: "QotW - John Knox and his monstrous
few nominations this week, but I've plumped for Round 6 Question
2 which a number of you mentioned. It comes from what
seems to have been the most popular round of the week and
mentions one of our own, the late lamented Frank Duffy, who
played off and on in the league back in the 1970s and 1980s:
In the early 60's, an MC at the Manchester Sports Guild Folk
Club booked (on an expenses-only basis) an up-and-coming folk
singer, who was in Birmingham at the time. After his first
set, the singer came up to Frank Duffy and said 'Is it OK if my
buddy joins me in the second half?' Frank said: 'Sure.
What's his name? I'll give him the build-up'. The
singer told him his friend's name. Frank said: 'Stop f***ing
me around, Paul! WHAT'S HIS NAME?' What was the name
of the singer's friend?

Having exposed the
League's very own Notts County supporter on this site a fortnight
ago, I thought I'd take the opportunity to go and see for myself
what Geoff was on about. Accrington Stanley were playing Notts
County in an FA Cup First Round replay at Accrington's Crown Ground
on Tuesday evening.
With the country's major football competitions in abeyance (yet
again!) whilst the irrelevance of such matches as Scotland v England
and Germany v Gibraltar were staged to satisfy some far off football
bureaucracy, here was an opportunity to see what life was like in
the cheap and cheerful basement of our own national game.

goalkeeper (and star of the quiz paper a fortnight ago), Roy
Carroll, was much in evidence as Accrington piled on the pressure
but sadly M. Balmy had been rested - not even on the bench. In
the event Stanley were victorious 2-1 earning a home tie against
Yeovil in Round 2 in a few weeks' time. The stadium was about
a third full with just over 1,000 spectators including 100 or so in
the visitors' end shouting non-stop abuse at everything and anything
that moved (principally the referee) with language that would have
made even Manchester United fans locked in the visitors' end at the
Etihad blush.Perhaps
the greatest expense in running such an outfit as Accrington Stanley
is balls. Yes, Balls! With stands about 15 feet high
surrounding the pitch I counted at least 10 occasions when the ball
was booted out of the ground and a fresh ball had to be rolled onto
the pitch by one of the club officials.
For all the humble surroundings it was a great atmosphere and a very
fast-paced match with no little amounts of skill on display.
I'd happily go again.
Here's hoping M. Balmy is fit and well, and ready to play on
Saturday when Notts County are at home to......Yeovil!

A Blob takes shape
Kittens. That's what Fr Megson will be havin' when he
finds out I've missed me first deadline. And him payin' me
the guts of half a crown per week! I hope he takes it
better than Mr Dusty did. He nearly fell out of bed when I
told him my first blob was late.
blame them fcekin illegitimate postmen. It really gets on me
goat when the GPO gives jobs to people who can't read. I
sent a letter off to Gorton College in me best handwriting askin' them
if they had any cheap diploma courses goin' for people who
wanted to do blobs on the computer. The next thing I knew
me lollipers were flappin' in the wind as I pedalled like the
hounds of hell to get to Cambridge for an interview in some
god-forsaken place called Girton College. And a right
waste of time that was. They didn't even do blob studies.
They said they could rustle me up a nice crash course in
Phenomenology; all I had to do was run home and get four 'A'
levels by next Tuesday. And while I was at it, could I
change my accent as well? I told them that
Phphphenommennnoology might be a fine and dandy option for them
that could say it but it wouldn't butter many parsnips in the
cultural hinterlands of Ladybarn and was any of them carryin' a
spare bicycle pump?
Well, there's no way me bunions or me lollipers would allow me
to pedal up and down to Cambridge everyday for three years so
I'll sit in the kitchen and drink a few bottles of strong
alcohol and then after a wee nap I'll say a prayer in front of
me headless statue of the Infant of Prague for divine guidance.
With any luck the Holy Ghost might pop down and help me out with
me blob. I'll make a start just as soon as I've peeled the
spuds and mangled the neeps for dinner. I would have
started sooner if Mr Dusty hadn't got the rooster's dander up
when he tried to take the Sinclair out of the henhouse.
There was no way that rooster was going to give up his favourite
roostin' place and his reputation for bein' the only rooster in
the neighbourhood to have his own personal computer without a
struggle. Blood and feathers all over the place. The
two of them are still up in the bedroom recuperatin'.
Well, tempus fugit as the fella said and we're another day
closer to the grave. Mr Dusty and the rooster are still
asleep so I'll have a bowl or two of Coco Pops to get me
strength back. I was up half the night cleaning the
Sinclair. Them hens had made a right mess of it - bad cess
to them - but it has come up a treat after steepin' it in bleach
for a few hours and then givin' it a good goin' over with a bar
of coal tar and a packet of Brillo pads. There were still
a few wee bits wedged under some of the keys so I got on the
blower to that Mike bloke who does the teleprinter results for
the quiz and sought his expert advice. He wasn't all that
friendly to be honest and I'd hate to be his wife if he's always
that grumpy at five in the mornin'. Fair play to him
though, he stopped effin' and jeffin' after a while and said it
sounded like I might be suffering from 'sticky key' syndrome.
Had I tried turning the computer off and then back on again? If
that didn't work I could always try a smidgen of Mr Muscle oven
cleaner - but just a smidgen, mind you, as it tended to melt
the computer. And if I didn't want any more episodes
of 'sticky keys' I should tell Mr Dusty to stop using them dodgy
websites in the middle of the night.
I'll just head up to the Co-op now to get a bit of breakfast for
Mr Dusty and the rooster and a few more bottles of strong
alcohol to have in the house for emergencies. And then it
will be all systems go for the blob. I suppose I better
leave a note in case the Holy Ghost decides to pop down before I
get back.

Manchester-based power supplier unplugged
Manchester-based Power New England, known as PNE, was suspended from the regional power market on Feb. 14 by ISO-New England, the independent, nonprofit organization that manages the New England grid. ISO directed Public Service of New Hampshire to take on PNE's approximately 8,500 retail customers, according to a PSNH filing with the Public Utilities Commission Tuesday.
Power New England is one of 12 companies approved by the regulatory agency as a competitive power supplier in the PSNH service area. The ISO would not comment on the action taken against Power New England, which the company is not contesting.
"In general, all market participants who are active in the wholesale electricity markets in New England must maintain a minimum amount of collateral and comply with other financial assurance and billing requirements to participate in the markets," wrote an ISO spokesperson in an email.
Resident Power, which brokers power from PNE and other sources for its energy service customers, is not affected by the ISO action, according to Bart Fromouth, managing director. "Resident Power is completely unaffected as a company by what's going on with PNE," he said. "Not all of our customers are placed with PNE."
Fromouth said PNE got in over its head with low-priced offers to consumers as natural gas prices went up. "In January and February, prices have skyrocketed to around 15 cents per kwh, compared to 4 cents we were seeing last year," he said.
Some competitive power suppliers like Energy New Hampshire (ENH) lock in a wholesale price with a power generator before offering a price to consumers, but PNE apparently had more exposure to short-term contracts.
That major price spike meant PNE was locked into low-cost contracts with consumers while having to pay more for wholesale electricity.
The price volatility is due to a variety of factors, including a cold winter and an increasing demand for natural gas in New England, despite a pipeline system that can only accommodate so much, according to Martin Murray, manager of media relations for Public Service of New Hampshire.
"While PNE hasn't stated clearly what happened, it seems likely that it's linked to the extreme volatility in the energy market in New England because of our dangerous reliance on natural gas," he said.
PNE management was unavailable for comment.
Murray said PSNH has been working feverishly to accommodate the PNE customers.
"This is new territory, and it certainly will be interesting if it occurs with an even larger group of customers," he said.
To further complicate matters, PNE was sold to FairPoint Energy in a transaction announced just two days before the ISO action.
FairPoint Energy, an affiliate of FairPoint Communications, hopes to claim the 8,500 customers as its own, even though the ISO has assigned them to Public Service.
"We will take our direction from the PUC," Murray said. "There's still some uncertainty about exactly what will happen and when."
The situation has left many consumers confused.
"We're getting calls today from customers who are PNE customers, but they think they're Resident Power customers," said Murray, "so there is some understandable confusion because they were solicited and marketed by Resident Power."
A spokesman for FairPoint Energy said the company will honor the PNE rates customers had prior to their transfer to PSNH.
"Ultimately, we are happy to see energy deregulation working in the marketplace, particularly since the system ensures that the customer never loses their power, even while shopping for the most attractive rate options," he said.
