Like Naughty Dog's previous work in the Crash Bandicoot and Jak & Daxter franchises, Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, a PlayStation 3 exclusive, is a mixture of different gameplay styles and genres. At points, you will be exploring dark, ancient crypts, much like Tomb Raider. At other times, you'll be scaling walls and hopping from handhold to handhold, a la Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. And when the going gets tough, you'll be taking cover behind conveniently placed barriers and peeking out to squeeze off a few shots as in Gears of War.
To its credit, Naughty Dog has wrapped all of these elements together in a fairly cohesive whole. Unlike Jak 3, this doesn't feel like three or four different games shoehorned into one package; Uncharted flows very naturally from one segment to the next. Even when the game has you piloting a jet ski through a flooding city or running towards the camera to escape collapsing ruins, it doesn't feel out of place or random, just an organic extension of the situation.
Part of this is due to the developer's strong emphasis on presentation and story. A heavy reliance on cinematics and voice acting keeps players from questioning what you're doing at any given moment. While the story itself is by no means groundbreaking or revolutionary, the characters and their motivations are well fleshed out enough.
The whole affair plays out like an old pulp adventure, one of Naughty Dog's main goals for the game. An unlikely hero stumbles across the supposed location of a fabled treasure, and as events unfold, he and his friends become embroiled in something much more than a regular old treasure hunt (hey, it's a video game). At times, the exposition is light-hearted and entertaining. "This is like trying to find a bride in a brothel," one character remarks near the game's beginning.
There are plenty of twists throughout the adventure's plot. Though some of these are foreshadowed, there are also those that come completely out of nowhere. By the game's surprisingly tidy conclusion, everything is explained and justified to some degree. There's wiggle room for a sequel--Naughty Dog and Sony are billing this as the beginning of a franchise, but it doesn't end on a frustratingly abrupt cliff-hanger.
It may sound like Uncharted is less of a game and more of a movie, and to a degree, that's true. The way the game is set up and paced is reminiscent of a big-budget Hollywood production, and after the game is complete you can skip from chapter to chapter like on a DVD. Frequent and intelligently-placed checkpoints minimize the progress lost when Drake takes one too many bullets or falls to his doom. During my eight hours of play, never once did I have to manually save on my own. After every major shootout or platforming segment, I'd go to save, only to find an auto-save already in place.
That's not to say there aren't some frustrating sections that require constant retries. There are certain fights that demand countless attempts, as the massacre of all the enemies in an area triggers another wave or two. There is very little satisfaction in carefully picking off ten heavily-armed pirates only to fall victim to the grenade-launching bastard that rushes in, and my curse-laden exclamations and the frustration I felt at such points were identical to those I experienced during Gears of War.
Comparisons between the cover systems of Gears of War and Uncharted are inevitable, and I found myself wishing that Uncharted would have adapted a few more of Gears' mechanics. Yes, at the tap of a button, Nathan ducks behind walls and boxes--some of which can be destroyed by enemy fire--and sure, he can pop out from the behind them to squeeze off a few rounds. He can even blind fire. But he can't move from cover in the same fluid way that you could in Gears, unless that piece of cover is directly to his right or left and within rolling distance. You can't duck down and run forward to another piece of cover, you have to get up, book your ass over there, and risk getting shot to pieces.
When leaning against a corner, there's no easy way to slip around it and adhere to its other side. While both Gears and Uncharted suffer from this problem, it's much more pronounced in Uncharted due to its level design and the constantly changing safe zone as enemies move about.
On the flip side, Uncharted tries to be much more open-ended with its combat than Gears of War. Along with whatever two weapons players have liberated from their dead foes, hand-to-hand combat is an option as well, and performing a certain combo rewards players with more ammunition than they would have received otherwise. Nathan can also shoot his gun while running; auto-targeting balances out the inability to aim while doing so.
Perhaps Uncharted's biggest problem is its tendency to throw the same enemies at you time and time again. There's little variation upon the enemies you encounter, and just when you think you're done, another wave of same-looking foes show up. I can count the number of new enemies you run into on one hand. Because of this, the game's many encounters tend to play out the same way, and, despite the ever-changing locales, it's easy to get tired of killing identical pirates over and over.
Particularly frustrating is the game's final encounter, as it demands a very, very specific course of action. Though quite brief, it can be one of the game's most infuriating segments if you don't happen to know exactly what you're supposed to at just the right moment. One wrong step, one wrong move, and you're dead, forced to repeat the process over and over again until you discover the proper approach through trial and error. In hindsight, the solution is somewhat obvious, but it's not nearly as forgiving as the rest of the game.
On the other side of the coin, the game's platforming sections are overly easy. As long as you're on the right path, it's practically impossible to screw up a jump. Truth be told, there's almost no skill involved in these parts, but that's okay. The real problem is when the game thinks you want to climb a vine when you're actually trying to run away from enemies, leaving you as a slow-moving target dangling in the air. Or when the game's cover systems completely ignores the crate to your right and slaps you against a wall that puts you in harm's way. Fortunately, neither happens too frequently.
If there's one area where Uncharted truly excels, it's presentation. Few games can match the sense of awe that Uncharted imparts when you're standing on the edge of a waterfall, looking out over a lush detailed jungle as the orange sun hides just below the tree line. Its lighting is exceptionally well done, from the various shadows of the jungle's foliage moving across Nathan's body to the atmospheric darkness of an ancient tomb. When characters go near water, their clothes get visibly damp and then dry out over time. Impressive facial animation expresses a wide range of emotion, complete with moving eyebrows and wrinkling foreheads.
Naughty Dog should also be praised for allowing players to both pause and skip the various in-game cutscenes at any time. Another nice touch is that subtitles can be toggled during the cinematics by pressing the square button.
It's very obvious that Naughty Dog is pushing the PlayStation 3 as hard as it could with Uncharted, to the point where the game encounters some performance issues. Some slight screen tearing occurs from time to time, and the frame rate occasionally slows. Thankfully, such cases are rare, and never affect gameplay.
Uncharted is packed with unlockables, offering up a thousand-point medal system eerily similar to the Xbox 360's achievements, sans the online showboating aspect. Points are doled out for a number of objectives--finishing the game, killing a set number of enemies, headshots, finding hidden treasures--and unlock rewards such as making-of featurettes, concept art, character skins, and cheats.
Especially noteworthy are the render filters, which change the game's appearance, as well as the mirror world option. Combine those with the multiple difficulty settings, one of which is unlockable, and there is certainly a wealth of material here for repeat players.
Suffice to say, Uncharted is a very polished title with a clear emphasis on presentation and story, and the gameplay isn't half-bad either. That's not to say the gameplay isn't fun or enjoyable--I was kept entertained during my eight-hour run--but there are undeniable similarities to several other popular games in the market as well as a tendency towards repetition that lessen its impact. Still, with its top-notch production values, there's no game out there quite like Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, and if you're in the mood for some treasure hunting on the PlayStation 3, I can think of no better alternative.

But it is a lot of work, digital is so much faster and available, so my quest have been to make my digital files look more analog. I've tried a lot of different tools and cameras but they all ended up looking digital, you know, that clean look that looks cold and lacks character. Sure, most people like that, but I'm not most people. I like things to be imperfect, I like flaws, that's character, and I love that in a photograph.
So, it wasn't until I bought a Leica M8 last summer that I really feel like I'm shooting film again. I love the color from the Leica M8 sensor, and running those files through DxO FilmPack 4 totally give me what I've been looking for.
But there is another aspect to this, and that's the Leica magic, it's like shooting with an old film camera, manual is good. I love the Leica, because it slows you down, it makes you think and plan your image, you create instead of just snapping a picture.

Above is the before and after photos, nothing special I admit, shot from the hip on a dusty sensor, this takes me back, it's gritty, it got beautiful color and grain. I love it.
It's fun to shoot again.
More to come...

As I age, I realize how much I am like my father, both for good - and not so good. I know this is a near universal experience for men. My expressions, my tone of voice and my temperament, all reflect his influence. As I age, I grow in my respect for him and all of the sacrifices he made for me, my brothers, my sister and my mother. I also wish I had had more time with him. Trusting in the mercy and love of God, and growing older, I now know that wish will come to pass. I eagerly await it. My father's favorite song was the Louis Armstrong classic "What a Wonderful World". Each father's day since he died, in a melancholy mix of mourning and memories, I listen to that song and shed more than a few tears. As the years go by, its words and insights open up in their simplicity and wisdom. My father understood that the words spoke to the things that really matter - once everything that pretends to matter is stripped away. As his life unfolded in those later years, when his congestive heart failure seemed to take its greatest toll, he loved the song and the sentiment it expressed even more.
I will miss my father this Father's Day. I miss him even as I write this article. I guess, following my own instruction, it simply shows me how much I loved him - and still love him. If you still have your father with you, love him openly and affectionately and let him know how important he is to you.Together, let us celebrate the Gift of Fatherhood and kneel before the Father from whom every family in Heaven and on Earth is named in deep gratitude for the very gift of Fatherhood.

CHESAPEAKE, VA (Catholic Online) - This weekend the Nation honors Fathers. My wife and I have five grown children and six grandchildren. I know the gift of being a father. As the years have unfolded, I am ever more aware of the serious responsibilities that this vocation entails. It is a vocation from which there is no vacation. You never stop being a Father.
As sometimes occurs, this secular holiday coincides with a special Feast in the Catholic Liturgical Calendar, the Feast of the Holy Trinity. That is no mistake. We are invited to enter more deeply into the mystery of who God is - as a Trinity of Divine Persons, distinct but in perfect unity, in a relationship animated by Love.
God is one, but not solitary. We are created in His Image and called to live in a communion of love. For most of us, that call is expressed within Marriage - and the family founded upon it. In that relational network of love, we learn how to love and are formed and fashioned into the Image of the God who is Love. Children need mothers. Children need fathers.
Though Fathers Day is a secular Holiday, it is infused with extraordinary spiritual meaning and vital social importance. This is particularly true in a western culture which is actively rejecting the unique gift of fatherhood, motherhood, marriage - and the family and society built upon them.
Marriage and family have been inscribed by the Divine Architect into the order of creation. Marriage is ontologically between one man and one woman, ordered toward the union of the spouses, open to children and formative of family.
Family is the first vital cell of society; the first church, first school, first hospital, first economy, first government and first mediating institution of our social order. The future of a free and healthy society passes through marriage and the family.
Marriage as existing solely between one man and one woman was not an idea manufactured by the Christian Church. It precedes Christianity. Though affirmed, fulfilled, and elevated by Christian teaching, the truth that marriage can exist only between one man and one woman is not based on religion or revelation alone. It is revealed in the Natural Moral Law, written on the human heart and discernible through the exercise of reason.
No matter what any Court or legislature says, marriage is still what it is. So too are fathers and mothers. No court, no legislature, no movement for social or Cultural Revolution can change the very structure of reality.
Our Nation is rushing headlong into a moral collapse as we jettison the unique gift and role of fathers and mothers for a profane counterfeit of two mommies or two daddies. We are already reeling under the horrid effects of a social experiment which is increasingly dangerous for our children, destructive of family and devastating to the common good of the social order.
Do Fathers really matter? Do mothers really matter? Does marriage really matter? Does a child have a right to a father and a mother? Absolutely!
This weekend, we will honor Fathers and Fatherhood. I want to take some time to pause and reflect on fatherhood. St Paul wrote to the early Christians:
"For this reason I kneel before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named, that he may grant you in accord with the riches of his glory to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in the inner self, and that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, rooted and grounded in love, may have strength to comprehend with all the holy ones what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, so that you may be filled with all the fullness of God."(Ephesians 3:14 - 19)
Those words were written to the Christians in Ephesus. But they also speak to us in this age! The Greek word for Father and family are connected. Paul is using them in a sort of play on words to make a profoundly important theological and ontological point. Fathers are the foundation of families, they give them identity and meaning in both life and in death. The Catholic Catechism says, "The divine fatherhood is the source of human fatherhood; this is the foundation of the honor owed to parents." (CCC#2214)
The Biblical understanding of naming someone was a far more significant action than many contemporary approaches to choosing names communicate. To name was understood to confer identity and introduce the child into an ongoing relationship. Naming still confers identity and relationship. Understanding the implications of that fact takes a lifetime, and beyond.
On this weekend when we pause from the frenetic pace of life to honor and remember fathers, we have an opportunity to reflect on what really matters most in our own lives. The ones who have named us, our fathers, have helped to give us our identity. They are a gift from the hand of God the Father.
We should thank them if they are still with us, and shower them with affection. If not, we should still thank them, honor them, remember them - and continue to learn all we can from the example of their lives as we seek to live our own in love.
I lost my father in 2001. Lord how much I still miss him. It does not go away. It is hard to believe it has been that long. In that same year, my beloved wife also lost her father, my father in law, with whom I also had a wonderful relationship.
We refer to that year still, with sadness, as the year of our two fathers. When father's day rolls around, we still grieve, even as we laugh and remember them both.
I lost my beloved mother only recently. It saddens me to face Fathers Day without a mother or a father. At least, physically present. I know they live on; not only in the Lord, but in my life as I seek to live my own vocation as husband, father, grandfather and deacon of the Church.
As I age, I realize how much I am like my father, both for good - and not so good. I know this is a near universal experience for men.
My expressions, my tone of voice and my temperament, all reflect his influence. As I age, I grow in my respect for him and all of the sacrifices he made for me, my brothers, my sister and my mother. I also wish I had had more time with him. Trusting in the mercy and love of God, and growing older, I now know that wish will come to pass. I eagerly await it.
My father's favorite song was the Louis Armstrong classic "What a Wonderful World". Each father's day since he died, in a melancholy mix of mourning and memories, I listen to that song and shed more than a few tears. As the years go by, its words and insights open up in their simplicity and wisdom.
My father understood that the words spoke to the things that really matter - once everything that pretends to matter is stripped away. As his life unfolded in those later years, when his congestive heart failure seemed to take its greatest toll, he loved the song and the sentiment it expressed even more.
As the years have passed, my sense of loss has not gone away, it has only changed. As I so often tell grieving family members at funerals in my ministry as a Deacon, the pain of loss on the memory of our deceased loved ones is just another manifestation of the eternal nature of love.
This weekend, I will experience the truth of that insight once again as I hug the grown children who live near us and see the smiling eyes of several of our grandchildren. I know I will hear from all of them before the day is out. I will wish my Dad were with us to enjoy these precious moments. When we are with our own children and grandchildren, my wife and I tell the stories of our fathers with fondness and ever deepening gratitude. I know they will do the same when we are home in the Lord.
My father grew in tenderness and compassion as he faced death. It is funny how difficulties and struggle, suffering and strife, seem to be the most effective means of refining us all. He finally died of the heart ailment which had claimed so much of his vigor.
However, like every struggle my father faced, he did not give up. He was a fighter and he did not want to go. In fact, I was at his death bed a couple of times, or so we thought it was his death bed. He decided he had more jokes to tell and more love to give.
It was that fighting spirit which I have particularly grown to admire as the years have passed by. Thank God he passed it on to me. Oh, as a younger man, he perhaps fought some of the wrong battles. I know I certainly did. We all do. But, that does not really matter any longer.
Life smooths it all out - and time presses us into deeper love. I see now that it only gave him time to smooth off the rough edges of a hard life and to simplify. So it is doing with me, his son. I hope he is proud.
How my father loved to hear from us as he grew older. Sadly, in retrospect, I regret just how little we really called. How I would love to have just one of those conversations today. I miss him. I think back on those final years with my own father and I still have regrets.
Though we can't get those years back, time is meant become a tutor as its highway stretches out before us. The lessons abound. The memories of the time I did have with him take on new meaning as I walk along the path that he did, raising my family and trying to love in both word and deed.
This year I will celebrate my 60th birthday. It is amazing how time speeds up as you age! I remember my father in his fifties, and his sixties. I cherish the last times we had together. I share with my own grown children, and grandchildren. I recount the stories, and still laugh at his humor.
In fact, in what is the most common experience of all, I tell his jokes, use his expressions, both facial and verbal and, in so many respects, I have become just like him. When I was in my twenties, it was one of my greatest fears. Now, it has become one of my greatest honors. I love him more with each passing year. That is because love is stronger than death.
Our earthly fathers and our relationships with them reflect the great meaning they symbolize in the eternal framework. Our Heavenly Father has given us His very name, His identity. In and through Jesus Christ, His only Son, we have now become "sons (and daughters) in the Son" - through our Baptism of new birth in water and the Spirit.
We are a part of an eternal family, and as the apostle Paul told the Christians in Rome, nothing can separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord, not even death. (Romans 8:38, 39)
Fathering is a great gift and a great responsibility. I cannot live it in its fullness without grace, the Divine Life of God which is given to us through Jesus Christ and mediated through our life in His church, in Word and Sacrament. In the Holy Eucharist we receive the One who is the Source and means of all grace.
I am glad when Fathers Day falls on a Sunday; it gives me a special opportunity to pray at Mass for and with my father and my father in law. As a Catholic Christian, I know that I am still joined to my father and my father in law in the communion which stretches through time and into eternity. Living in the Church is a participation in an eternal communion of love.
At that moment in the Canon of the Mass when we pray for those who have died, I always pray for them both and will do so on Father's day. As a Deacon, I feel honored to be so close to the Altar when I offer that prayer.
I will miss my father this Father's Day. I miss him even as I write this article. I guess, following my own instruction, it simply shows me how much I loved him - and still love him. If you still have your father with you, love him openly and affectionately and let him know how important he is to you.
Together, let us celebrate the Gift of Fatherhood and kneel before the Father from whom every family in Heaven and on Earth is named in deep gratitude for the very gift of Fatherhood. We have a lot of work ahead to defend marriage, motherhood and fatherhood. God is with us, marriage and family are His idea and He will give us the grace we need to live and defend them.
On Father's Day, celebrate, honor and rejoice in the gift of fathers and fatherhood. Remember, no-one Can Change the Truth About Marriage, Fathers and Mothers. Love Your Father. Be a Good Father.

What you require of a hockey pitch depends upon your viewpoint: as a player you will want a pitch that runs fast and true, allowing you to play the best hockey you possibly can. A club administrator will want those qualities, but at a reasonable price and with a long life-span; the groundsman will want an easy maintenance pitch with low irrigation requirements. An additional requirement by players is a forgiving surface to minimise injuries and reduce post-match recovery time.
Paul Kamphuis is general manager of Polytan STI, an Australian-based company that supplies artificial sports pitches across the globe, including the pink and blue pitch at the London Olympics 2012. He says the most significant development in pitch development has been the introduction of texturised monofilament polyethylene yarn. "It ticks all the boxes," he says. "High performance, non-directional play characteristics for fast-paced hockey but with low irrigation requirements, enhanced UV stability and excellent durability."
Developments in artificial pitches has made them more accessible to players everywhere, a fact highlighted by recent pitch openings in Costa Rica and Cuba. But even though the cost of installing a new pitch has dropped in relative terms, enabling more installations to take place, each new pitch will throw up its unique challenges. Paul says: "From drought in Australia to dust storms in Beijing, monsoons in India and snow in the UK, we have installed hockey pitches in all sorts of climates and tough conditions. We have a resourceful and experienced team who aren't scared to think outside the box to overcome obstacles. We have used tents to cover the pitch surface to keep out the rain, helicopters to reduce frost and worked at night to avoid working in excessive heat.
"Another common problem when working in some locations is the local capability to provide civil construction of the pitch infrastructure to the precise tolerances and standards required. To overcome this, we always try to work closely with the local contractors during the construction phase to develop the skills necessary to meet the construction standards required."
Despite these problems, the installation of a pitch can be remarkably swift. The record time for a Polytan STI resurfacing project was four to five weeks, although a more usual resurface project would normally take eight to ten weeks from date of order to complete installation. A new construction would take about five to six months, including design, construction and final installation.
Talking about recent projects, Paul says that the 'Smurf Turf', as the London Olympic pitch was christened, remains one of his favourite projects, not least for the controversy it caused. "The Smurf Turf polarised opinion. There were those who loved the colours and those who didn't, but either way it made hockey one of the most talked about and broadcast sports of the Olympic Games. Being prepared to take this risk and then see how much additional exposure and promotion this generated for hockey on a global platform was extremely satisfying."
For the future, Paul says that climate change is likely to provide the biggest challenge, although sustainability is also a big focus for STI. "We recognise that watering plastic grass can sometimes seem irrational and a waste of water," he says. "For this reason, we are continuously striving to reduce the irrigation needs of elite level hockey surfaces."

As we approach the 10th Anniversary of 911, I am in hopes that we all take a moment to stop give a moment or two of reflection of the losses and in prayer hope for peace. Also, I hope my arts, passion and prayers for those lost and those who continue to serve will be answered. I am thankful to all those who served for our country in the past, and continue to do so. My Father was an inspiration, many aunts and uncles before and my brother and brother in law continue to serve now. I pray for peace and hope for those who know none. Lei h Aug. 30, 2011

I definitely prefer soft jackets. But keep in mind that this is not only related to shoulders but also canvas used in the suit. The Giacca napoletana have a soft canvas in chest. I have jackets from Milano and Sicily, their canvas is different and has more shape. Shoulders are another story. During one of my fittings i tried with and without shoulder paddings and you really feel the difference.

Final Score: Syracuse 49, (11) West Virginia 23
Syracuse, NY (Sports Network) - Ryan Nassib threw four touchdown passes to his tight ends and Syracuse delivered a 49-23 upset of No. 11 West Virginia on Friday, scoring more points than it ever has in the 66-year history of the rivalry.
Nassib was 24-of-32 for 229 yards, exploiting a porous Mountaineer defense with three touchdown passes to Nick Provo and one to David Stevens. He also ran for a score.
Antwon Bailey rushed for 125 yards and a touchdown for the Orange (5-2, 1-1 Big East), who outscored the Mountaineers 28-7 after they had pulled within five points early in the third quarter.
Dorian Graham added a 98-yard kickoff return for a touchdown in Syracuse's second win in a row over their conference rivals.
"It is a big win," said Nassib. "We were able to keep the [Ben Schwartzwalder Trophy], which we used as extra inspiration this week. It is something that now we know what we can do, something that can bring us forward."
Geno Smith passed for 338 yards and two touchdowns, but was intercepted twice and sacked four times as West Virginia (5-2, 1-1) had its two-game winning streak snapped while losing in the Carrier Dome for the first time since 2001.
Shawne Alston's one-yard touchdown run got West Virginia within 21-16 in the third quarter, but Syracuse scored 21 straight points to put the game away, with Nassib having little trouble working against the Mountaineer secondary.
"They beat us today on all three sides of the ball," said West Virginia head coach Dana Holgorsen. "They outplayed us and outcoached us. It's as simple as that."
Stevens was wide-open on the left side for a 29-yard touchdown to make it 28-16 and Provo helped set up his second touchdown of the game with a 24-yard catch.
Provo was then left wide-open in the left side of the end zone three plays later for a 10-yard TD.
After safety Phillip Thomas intercepted Smith two plays into the ensuing West Virginia drive and returned it 24 yards, Provo scored his third TD after hauling in a five-yard pass and carrying it inside the right pylon one-handed.
The play, originally ruled a no-catch because referees saw Provo bobble the ball as he hit the ground, was overturned after a review, ending a superb game by the Syracuse tight ends.
"I thought they were going to kind of adjust to it," Provo said on the plan to heavily involve the tight ends. "They didn't and it worked out in our favor."
Smith connected with Brad Starks on a 25-yard touchdown pass, but Bailey broke off a 50-yard run on the ensuing possession and scored on a three-yard rush to make it 49-23.
Syracuse's previous high score against West Virginia came in a 45-0 win in 1960.
"I don't know how many answers I can give you. We made plays, the kids executed," said Syracuse head coach Doug Marrone. "They played extremely hard. They always have. We made plays at the right time and we kept them off balance. They're a very good football team and we won a game. The story lies within those players."
The Orange upped their lead in the all-time series to 32-27 and snapped a four-game home losing streak to the Mountaineers.
The rout started early, when West Virginia bit on a play-fake and Nassib threw to a wide-open Provo in the back of the end zone for a 7-0 Syracuse lead in the first quarter to cap a 14-play drive.
The Mountaineers' ensuing drive stalled at the Syracuse 10 and Tyler Bitancurt kicked a 27-yard field goal to make it 7-3 with 1:06 left in the first.
Syracuse responded with another 14-play touchdown drive, with Nassib busting through the line for a one-yard score to give the Orange a 14-3 lead in the second quarter.
West Virginia's Stedman Bailey won a jump-ball with cornerback Kevyn Scott on the left sideline and came down with his feet inbounds, then tip-toed to keep them in to start a 64-yard touchdown catch, but the extra point hit the left upright.
Despite being shaken up on a catch earlier in the second quarter, Graham returned the ensuing kickoff 98 yards for a touchdown, making a nice cut to the right at midfield to scamper untouched for a 21-9 Syracuse lead.
West Virginia was driving deep in Syracuse territory after that, but safety Jeremi Wilkes intercepted Smith at the goal line.
Game Notes
Both teams were coming off a bye...West Virginia had won eight straight in the series before dropping the last two games...The Ben Schwartzwalder Trophy has been presented to the victor in the annual series each year since 1993...West Virginia wide receiver Ivan McCartney suffered an apparent left knee injury after a play late in the second quarter where he was running for a pass in the right side of the end zone, but returned in the second half.

I got called LO's GRANDMA!!! vent
That is so rude! You do NOT look like a grandma at ALL. Seriously.
A few months ago a lady at Trader Joe's asked me how many months along I am...and I am NOT pregnant! Oh my, that was a huge blow and I held my head high until I got to the car and then burst into tears. People can be so insensitive sometimes. But I know my belly still pooches a little, so I get why she thought that (even though she shouldn't have said it). What I don't get is how your waitress thought a 28 year old was a grandma. She sounds crazy to me.
It's a harmless mistake that anyone could make. I worked in a customer service position once and accidentally called women 'Sir' and the one time I called a man 'Ma'am'...so I stopped using those titles. I say just let it go. What I would have done would be to just laugh it off. Of course, I don't have any hang-ups about age, so it doesn't bother me if someone were to call me my son's grandmother...but then again, I'm told I look young for my age. So don't be too hard on people who make mistakes. Just politely smile, let them know you're actually the mother, and let them save face, if you know what I mean. It was probably embarrassing for her to make the mistake. Honestly, this is too petty to be made into a big deal. No one is perfect.
IDK if I agree PP. Thats a pretty huge assumption to make about someone who doesnt look remotely old enough to be a grandmother. It sounds to me like the woman was being malicious...or incredibly jealous.
OP, we're the same age, and that would HURT. I have a VERY hard time believing that was anything but nastiness. Sounds like that woman was probably a barren hag or a backwoods redneck who had her kid at 8 years old with her cousin. LOL Dont worry about it....or try not to. You COULD try to finagle a spa trip out of the situation, telling your DH/SO that you must need some R&R. LOL
Little brother due on 4/23/11
What a B!
She must be a hater, forget her, she's not worth any more of your energy. I'm sure you are a beautiful mama! Best Wishes!
cdaessiey- I wish she was talking to my mom! Unfortunatelly my mom was still at the table leaving the tip (not for that lady luckily we had a waiter) I was the only one standing there just holding LO.
DH is 3 1/2 yrs younger then me so I always joke that he's married to an old lady. I will NEVER make that joke again. btw thanks girls for making me feel better, it's nice to see that people who dont know me and will give honest opionons dont think I look like a grandma. My mom and brother both thought it was funny, so they didn't help me feel any better at all.

We always get weird comments when I'm out with LO and my BFF, but never that (yet, lol, I'm sure my time will come)as it is, people always think that I'm his sister and my mom is his mom. I'm 23 and my mom is 45. (she had me at 22 and I had LO at 22)
Jedi Mama, loving my Sith Lord. Padawan joined the Force 10/09 We've achieved Balance in the Force...A Sithling! 3/12!
balance is overrated...#3 OTW!
It goes both ways.... I opened up the door one day to a Schwans salesman who asked for my mom. I gulped a few times and finally said, "I'm the mom." I didn't know what else to say! :)
I am 33 years old, and have two kids!!

7 Totally Underrated Albums This Year That You Must Revisit ASAP
Headphones time!
November 9th, 2010
Considering how ubiquitous Ke$ha has been in 2010, it's hard to believe that it won't be until 2011 that she launches her first North American headlining tour.
The money-loving singer will embark on her first continental tour beginning February 15th, which will take her from Portland, all the way across the U.S., with one Canadian stop amongst the 20 dates: Ke$ha will hit Toronto's Kool Haus on April 6th.
In a statement, she thanked fans and reminded everyone that the companion to her album Animal, fittingly titled Cannibal will be out very soon (November 22nd, to be exact).
"This year has been carnivorous and life-changing. I have my rowdy, gorgeous fans to thank for taking me on the ride of a lifetime," she said. "My only goal with this record is to keep them dancing. The songs on Cannibal were made to inspire people to ignore any hate or judgment and be themselves unapologetically. It's the perfect companion to Animal and I hope you guys like it. And if you don't like it — bite me."

UPDATE 1-German regulator to step up Deutsche Libor probe-sources
* Bafin questions Deutsche Bank's internal probe - sources
* To intensify its own probe of Deutsche Bank - sources
* Too early to draw conclusions about probe - source
By Matthias Sobolewski and Edward Taylor
BERLIN/FRANKFURT, April 18 (Reuters) - Germany's financial regulator has doubts about Deutsche Bank's internal probe into its role in a global interest rate rigging scandal and will step up its own investigations into the bank, two sources familiar with the matter said.
Regulators across the world are investigating more than a dozen banks and brokerages over allegations they manipulated benchmark interest rates such as Libor and Euribor, which are used to underpin trillions of dollars of financial products from derivatives to mortgages and credit card loans.
While German watchdog Bafin cannot itself impose fines, its input is expected to feed into settlement talks between Deutsche Bank and regulators in the United States and Britain.
Bafin has been reviewing Deutsche Bank's internal findings as part of its own probe and has sent a progress report to Germany's finance ministry, the sources said on Thursday.
This report said that Bafin needed to step up its own investigations into Germany's biggest lender because it disagreed with some aspects of the bank's own conclusions, one of the sources said, without elaborating.
Deutsche Bank's internal investigation is being led by its legal department with the support of external counsel.
Three people with knowledge of the matter told Reuters in February that Deutsche Bank's top managers were unlikely to be sacked as a result of the internal probe.
Deutsche Bank, Bafin and the Bundesbank, which is also responsible for banking supervision, declined to comment.
There is no formal deadline for Bafin to deliver a final report. It is too early to forecast the outcome of the intensified probe, the second source said.
One of the two sources said that at this stage there was no sign of a "nasty surprise," without elaborating.
Deutsche Bank has already made provisions for possible fines in the Libor case, sources close to the bank have told Reuters.
Analysts see the likely exposure at less than 500 million euros ($654 million). Swiss bank UBS agreed in December to pay $1.5 billion to settle charges of rigging benchmark interest rates.
Deutsche Bank has suspended or dismissed seven employees involved in setting benchmark rates as part of its own investigations.
Bafin is working with the Bundesbank and accountant Ernst & Young on its probe, delving into suspected misconduct by individual traders and their counterparts at other banks.
In February, it said a key issue was whether banks reacted quickly enough once problems became known, and whether they reached the right conclusions.

Light Shrimp SaladJuly 1st, 2009Unfeatured
1 pound cooked shrimp, deveined, shells and tails removed
1/2 cup lime juice, preferably fresh-squeezed
1/2 cup lemon juice, preferably fresh-squeezed
3/4 cup white onion, diced
1 jalapeño pepper, stemmed, seeded, and diced

1 tomato, seeded and diced
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt, to taste
1. Chop shrimp into chunks and combine with the next three ingredients in a medium-sized bowl; let sit, refrigerated, for 1 to 4 hours. Since the shrimp is already cooked, this allows the flavors to meld, rather than letting the citrus juice actually cook the fish, like in a ceviche.
2. Just before serving, stir in the remaining ingredients. Serve with tortilla chips.

2. Combine salt, cayenne, paprika, thyme, oregano, and pepper on a plate, and coat the fish on both sides. Place fish in the skillet and sear over medium-high heat for 4 to 5 minutes on each side, or until fish is white and flakes when prodded with a fork. Set aside.
3. Heat the remaining oil over medium heat. Add the remaining garlic to the skillet and brown slightly. Add the greens and cover; cook until the greens have reduced by half, about 7 to 10 minutes. They should retain their color but be soft and edible.
