What are your opinions about linear games, like the Uncharted series of Bioshock Infinite? How important is a story to you in your games? How important is the developer's vision to you?
What are your opinions about linear games, like the Uncharted series of Bioshock Infinite? How important is a story to you in your games? How important is the developer's vision to you?
I'm fine with linear, but I do really like free roam games.
I find story one of lesser important parts of a game, a game with a good story and bad gameplay is still a bad game in my opinion.
Although l prefer it when a game has a really good story.
EDIT: Unless you mean as in a story you can effect I do really like that.
Gameplay > Everything for me. So whether the game is incredibly linear or open-world matters not to me, as long as the gameplay keeps me interested and brings at least something new and / or tons of fun to the table, I'm fine if the story is shitty. That's why I like games like Bulletstorm, Alien Rage, Just Cause 2, etc.
Though I do really like it when a game at least makes an attempt at a good story AND gameplay. If I can have both things in spades, I'll jump on it.
The only games I play for story value are the ones that advertise story as their strong point to begin with. But I won't give it a second glance if the gameplay is shoddy.
Eh, they are kind of differant horses.
Open world games demand less attention, but linear games can be alot of fun when the layout of a perticular level is ingrained onto your muscle memory.
The former can have a boring lack of interesting objectives, and the latter just makes the little unfair or boring bits a million times worse.
@Jubeh: Unless it's in a obviously incomplete/glitchy as fuck (which can be enjoyable) category I think it could be summed as "what I don''t like".
Button tapping, anything random/luck based (I have a hard time enjoying rpgs because of this), anytime in rpgs where I cant force a victory even when I am very under leveled. Quick time events drive me nuts namely ones with button tapping my thumb cant move that fast damn it. "I have played this game longer than you therefore I have all these awesome weapons and you got a bb gun" random drops. any time I get stuck on anything and anytime the camera says "fuck you!!!!"
EDIT: Also I cant enjoy games where I can't win through either strategy or skill. Most of the time.

Scouse builders nab six millionth .co.uk domain
Merseyside building and shopfitting outfit Klassik Builders has registered the six millionth .co.uk web address. The earth-shattering internet tidings were brought by Nominet, the not-for-profit which is in charge of promoting and administering the .co.uk top level domain. It passed the five million mark in May last year, and …
dreadful stereotype mind slip
saw 'Merseyside' and read 'shopfitters' as 'shoplifters'
I'm curious...
...to know how many of those domains are being squatted by sites that pretend to be search engines/content portals.
I can't remember the last time I followed a link on a page to find it now returned a 404... All I seem to find these days is some lame squatter.
Six million?
Wow, that's almost as much as some cyber squatters.
I thought you said............
Stolen from PB but.....
Liverpool airport was closed for four hours today after police found a suspicious car parked outside.
It was taxed, insured and still had its radio.
Boom, boom.
I'm going back to 404
Touche Steve Evans - all the links on their site 404 apart from the home page.
I trust their building work isn't as sloppy...
Why .co.uk not just .uk?
Can anyone tell me why in the UK, we need the ".co" part of a ".uk" domain?
Every other European country just uses the last part, for example:
but in the UK we have to have:
rather than:
what's the point of the ".co" bit? Why can't we register www.-----.uk domains?
Why ".co.uk"?
>"Can anyone tell me why in the UK, we need the ".co" part of a ".uk" domain?"
Because there's also ".org.uk", etc.
See here for a complete list: http://www.nominet.org.uk/registrants/aboutdomainnames/sld/
Nominet - not for profit, but fairly strict on administering sub-doamins of .uk
I would like to add, I am currently working on the klassikbuilders website, and as we only registered it last week it is not finished. The press release from nominet took us by suprise as we had no idea we were the 6 millionth! It will be finished in due course. My email address is at the bottom of klassikbuilders.co.uk if you would like to comment personally.
All 404's will be replaced by valid pages within the next few days. And their building work is excellent!
Web pages 404 - why...
I just read Julie Lowe's post on the 404 pages being fixed.
Having navigation to non-exiting pages or to page with no content to me is just frustrating.
If the page isn't there don't put in place the navigation.
If the page isn't completed don't put in place the navigation.
Nobody knows the page isn't there until you tell them. Why encourage a bad experience.
Would you go to a restaurant and appreciate if over half the menu wasn't available. May discourage you from going back.
How about going to shopping centre (Mall) and even though all the shops had store fronts, when you went into them they were empty.
To me this is the same as pages going 404 or empty pages.
Gripe over…
Re: Why ".co.uk"
Ok, so you can have quite a few combinations ending in .uk, such as .co.uk .org.uk .me.uk etc. But the point made was that you cannot have .uk on its own, unlike other ccTLDs.
Is there any 'real' reason why this is the case?
Re: Why ".co.uk"
.uk is by no means unique in only allowing registrations in the third level. You could also ask why Japan, South Korea, New Zealand, Israel, Brazil and Australia do similar things.
If you are given a domain to manage, you can decide to split it by usage or not. I think it is a good idea to have .mod.uk and .gov.uk quite separate from .co.uk and .org.uk.

State Representative-elect Alma AllenDemocratic State Representative Ron Wilson reeked of political arrogance long before he joined the Tom DeLay-led redistricting drive, which will further reroute much-needed state help from the inner-city District 131. Wilson thumbed his nose at the people who needed him most; he even hurled savage taunts at such effective leaders as fellow representative Garnet Coleman. But defeating a 27-year incumbent, even a turncoat one, is a daunting task for any Democrat. The party, and the people of the district, can be thankful that educator Alma Allen was up to that considerable challenge. Her 14 years on the state Board of Education, and her proven credibility and candor, provided the experience and above-the-fray dignity that Wilson couldn't offer. If the Democrats ever rebound from the GOP beatings, there better be many more Alma Allens ready to step forward. Wilson, who resigned as a lame duck in August, claimed to be "ecstatic" about his loss. The party faithful get that same feeling about Allen, a candidate with real class.

MUNCIE – An auto parts company plans to spend more than $15 million on new equipment for a Muncie factory where it expects to add perhaps 50 workers in the coming year.
The Delaware County Council this week approved a five-year property tax abatement worth $543,000 as an incentive for Magna Powertrain's investment.
The Star Press reported (http://tspne.ws/1hFaxHs ) the company now has almost 400 workers at the factory where it makes drivetrain components.
Terry Murphy of the Muncie-Delaware County Economic Development Alliance said the new equipment will include laser welders and should be installed by next year.
The company expects to start hiring for the new jobs this summer and have them all added by December 2015.

Get ready, get set, get your mouthwash. The fourth-annual Delray Beach Garlic Fest kicks off November 1 at 5 p.m. in downtown Delray, between the Old School House campus and NE Second Avenue, and doesn't end till 6 p.m. November 3. What to expect: three days of garlic-oriented activities, events, and destinations, including a "mystery basket" garlic chef competition modeled after Iron Chef; the Gourmet Alley, where everything from garlic bread to garlic ice cream (mmm, savory) will be offered; and the Garlic Mercantile Area, a place to shop for gifts for the smelly one in your life. Indeed, you can even buy such choice items as the Stinkin' Rose's Garlic Condom here. What not to expect? Vampires, even those who had the foresight to get a vasectomy.

Why can't they have it like that all the time? Unfortunately it's now gone back to the previous mess. Keep It Simple, Stupid!

Up to
Any promotion that says "up to" in small letters hoping you won't notice goes straight in the bin.
Is your old hardware made of gold, or just DIRT?
Printer cartridges
We used to collect toner cartridges for the local air ambulance charity. The outfit that reprocessed them had a list of the ones they recycled and the prices they would pay - anything from 10p to 50p for most of them - plus you needed to save up £10's worth or you got nothing. It wasn't worth the storage space.

re. Charlotte Green
Just what I was thinking when I saw your post.
Web czar: 'Drag your nan online'
Missing out, or just missing out the stress?
"If someone you know is missing out on the internet, they're missing out on loads of ways to make their life easier and more enjoyable,"
Maybe they don't even want to turn the computer on, if they actually have one (possibly left by a deceased partner). There are some nonogenarians who are alert and have lively minds; there are others who just think "why should I have to bother with all this new-fangled technology stuff at my age". For the latter it's just too daunting.
Perhaps when IP-TV becomes more popular that will be an easier way onto the web.
Union enraged by secret driverless Tube plan
"TfL is already running some semi-automatic trains on the Jubilee line, although these trains also still have a driver. "
The Victoria Line has had Automatic Train Operation since it opened in 1968. No doubt with the new signalling the 09 stock could run fully automatically, but you'd still need someone on the train and/or on the platform at each station to dispatch the train. Remote control with CCTV isn't much good when something goes wrong. You can't do CPR over long line PA!
Incidentally, Bob Crow may be a throwback to the past (he reminds me of Ray Buckton at ASLEF) but he's not a moron. He is a good negotiator and debater, and he can rin rings around most of our politicians as the recent Question Time debacle proved. We needed someone like him in 1964 - who did we get? - Sydney Green.
Dennis Ritchie: The C man who booted Unix
I'm somewhat surprised that the obit made no mention of Brian W. Kernighan, Ritchie's co-author of "The C Programming Language" in 1978, which was the bible for C programmers in those days.
Now correct me if I'm wrong - I'm sure you will - but as far as I recall Solaris was Sun's version of BSD. SVR4 was an attempt to bring to gether the two main threads of Unix: BSD and Systen V. I don't think it really took off because Sun and HP carried on as before with Solaris and HP-UX.
Now just in case you think cloud computing is something new, back around 1990 I was using Sun workstations. The software was installed on each workstation but all the data were held on fileservers so you could log onto any workstation on the intranet and access your own environment. And of course we had email, ftp and usenet. Mosaic arrived later.
Email and compliance: How not to blow the storage budget?
The other things you can do...
Don't top post.
Quote only the text required to put your reply into context.
Don't quote the whole of the preceding dialogue including signatures, disclaimers etc.
Ban wordy disclaimers, privacy statements, etc. Max. 4 line sig files.
Plain text only (as I previously posted).
Don't send Word attachments when plain text or PDF would do.
Ditch bloated html
Send and accept only plain text RFC5322 compliant messages.
Store attachments and delete them from the message (base 64 encoded files take up a third more space).
Mozilla to Firefox users: Ditch crashtastic McAfee plugin
In the meantime
"surfers have the choice to either re-enable ScriptScan; rely on McAfee SiteAdvisor or other tools to warn about bad sites; or choose a different browser. "
or simply not visit dodgy sites that they weren't intending to visit in the first place, and not use html for email messages.
The security mistakes users make
Very true
An outfit I used to work for had a very sophisticated security architecture that totally failed to realise that employees might use their laptops on the internet at home and then connect them to the intranet at work. All security by-passed!
UK punters happy to pay £3 to top up e-wallets

It's the only option. The vendor will use nfc if it's cheaper than accepting cash.
Major BT exchange titsup in power outage
Where were the batteries?
Every exchange used to have a cellar full of 2 volt lead-acid cells in banks of 24 to provide a 48v backup supply until the standby generator kicked in. Nowadays the least you should expect is a UPS and a redundant power supply.
Amazon's Kindle Fire is sold at a loss
Competing with the Also-Rans
You've said it before - people don't want tablets, they want iPads.
Anyay, why are people stupid enough to buy things at $199 that they wouldn't buy at $200 or $201? I try to avoid buying anything with a 9 at the end of the price.
Bank emails punters asking for their, er, email address
re. Security Detail
The account number is not a security detail. You give it to anyone to whom you give a cheque or direct debit mandate or standing order form, or whom you ask to send you an on-line payment.
Reebok used 'very fit woman' in buttock-related deception

Renault Wind Gordini roadster
Re. Quelle horreur !
Ever since the lard-arse Méganne Renault seem to have lost the plot with styling. Maybe I just don't get modern styling, but why the rising body line and high haunches? Why the gaping grille? Why the side vents, as though you need extra cooling for the brakes on a road car? The R8 Gordini looked superb (though sadly rust prevention wasn't a priority in those days). This one just looks tacky.
Local radio stations band together against DAB
DAB = Dead And Buried
We need a European standard (at least) for digital radio. DAB isn't it. I haven't bought a DAB radio a) because I don't need one and b) because I don't want to add to the statistics.
I can get digital channels on Freeview (a misnomer because it's not free and half the channels you can't view) and I can record programmes on my PVR. I haven't seen a personal DAB recorder though maybe one exists.
Gaps in the apps mean shops miss out on sales
Platform compatibility
"By not giving customers the information they need on the platform of their choice, they are less likely to complete purchases,"
They sometimes send me email messages with a cop-out text/plain part that tells me nothing, and of course there's a reply address that isn't monitored so you have no way of contacting them except by struggling through their incompatible web sites. If there's a problem with the web site you can't tell them because there's a problem with the web site. Catch 22.
Schoolkids learn coding at GCSE level in curriculum trial
Fabulous initiative
"In the 1980s the BBC not only broadcast programming for kids about coding, but (in partnership with Acorn) shipped over a million BBC Micro computers into homes and schools. That was a fabulous initiative, but it's long gone."
Because the government of the day decided to get into bed with Microsoft and turn its back on the British computer industry. The BBC Micro was designed to be programmed with BBC Basic (including assembler capability) built in. By contrast IBM PCs and clones were a nightmare.
UK cyber security plan delayed till October

BT to fibre-up another 114 exchanges
"Up to" is meaningless
My present "up to 8Mbps" ADSL gives me 200kbps on a good day. In fact sometimes upstream is faster than downstream. If they give me an "at least" speed then I might think about it.
HP's UK PC boss: We're going nowhere
HP going nowhere?
That might well be true but it's not what Hunter said!
Actually HP laptops aren't all cheap plastic craptops. An organisation I'm associated with has just bought a 13.3" Core i3 Probook and it's quite a nice machine in a rugged metal case. The only problem is that it runs Windows 7 (necessary for the software we wanted to run) and the touchpad is horrible to use if you're used to Apple's.
IDLENESS sees Brits haemorrhage cash to mobe firms
re. going into shops
The fact that operators find it attractive to run their own high street shops must mean that there is too much profit on mobile phones. I got a simple pre-pay phone for £3.45 plus £10 on a Virgin SIM but they wouldn't let me keep my number so although Virgin have got £10 for nothing (unless I decide to use it for outgoing calls) they won't get any further business.

'Up to' broadband claims out of control, says Ofcom

I'm paying for "up to 8Mbps". I'm lucky if I get 200kbps. Why can't they use FTTC to give my what I'm paying for? I don't want empty oromises of lightening fast internet when what I get is thunderously slow.
Phone-hack backlash BBC in embarrassing headline gaffes
OTHER news you might have missed?
Never mind the attrocious grammar, how could anyone possibly have missed the news about phone hacking? In any case it was voicemail hacking.
'There's too much climate change denial on the BBC'
Non sequitur
Jones also claims "95% of the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere comes from natural sources
while in fact human activity has been responsible for a 40% rise in concentration"
There's nothing contradictory about these two statements. If the concentration due to human activity had increased from 3.57% to 5% that would be roughly a 40% rise. In any case, over what timescale? At one time there was no CO2 coming from human activity because there were no humans.
Anyway the fact that climate is changing is not in dispute - it always has been changing. What is up for debate is whether there's any point in the current preoccupation with Canutism or whether we would be better engaged concentrating on how to live with climate change. Fiddling around with a few wind farms here and there is totally insignificant compared to the likes of Eyjafjallajökull.

Ofcom ignores radio in annual report

Microsoft plans to open 75 retail stores in US
re. Problem is
Apart from X-box Microsoft doesn't actually have any shiny hardware to sell. The shops could only push other people's hardware that's loaded with Windows, plus application software and that puts it into direct competition with its dealers. Apple, on the other hand, has lots of sexy products that people want, that have a high profit margin and that the high street box shifters have largely ignored.
Great OS?
No, it's not a great OS - it's just that you need it to run some apps that have only been written for Windows because a lot of innocents bought it in the early days. It's no more a great OS than VHS was a great video technology.

Re: Fed Cup: France is safe,won 3-2 against Germany. Alize finally WON a match(Double
First time since a LONGGGG time I enjoyed watching alize playing.
What a match she did in that decisif Double match pairing Julie Coin!
at the beginning Julie was the most consistent and strong. Alize seemed feeling less confident than her but managed to be consistent and not lose her serve.
Then in second set she rose her game and played more agressive in her returns,serving well.
That ace she did at 2-1 40-30 was so perfect at that time of the match.It gave her the confidence she needed to play even better
she was so different in that match than when she is on a tournament, behaving way better and fighting the way she used to be before.Holding her composure during all the match,not complaining at all and go winning the points at the net like a champion.
Yes it was a great match,very important for the team.Alize fall on her knees after petkovic ball finishing in the net.Yes this win means a lot for her today for sure.

How To Hold A Pencil Correctly
Handwriting Success Builds Confidence in School
The kids at Scribble 2 Script are experiencing great success and I wanted to share some of the most recent feedback from our proud parents:
"Mason is doing so well in school this year and his cursive handwriting is so beautiful! As his 2nd grade class learned how to write in cursive this year, his teachers would ask him to go around the room and help his classmates with their cursive practice as they worked their way through the alphabet. It made him feel very special and important and for the first time, proud of his handwriting! He told me about it each time he was asked to do this.
And he is the only one in the classroom that is allowed to do his spelling tests in cursive because it is so precise and legible. Homework has been so much better this year because of his improved writing skills. He is able to sit and work much longer without his hand getting very tired and cramping up. Thank you and especially Mrs. Nikki for the support and guidance that you gave him! Hope you all have a wonderful end of the year!" -Heather Miller
"Thank you. We are so pleased with Jake's progress. I never dreamed that we would see such success so quickly. His attitude toward school has really improved, and his confidence has grown tremendously."-Kathy H.
"Thank you so much for everything you've done for our daughter. She {said the she} was really going to miss seeing you. Aside from your skills and knowledge – which are substantial – you have an obvious gift for working with kids. It has been truly a joy and a privilege to get to know you."-Robert B.
We are SO proud of each child's individual success and we are looking forward to continuing to help children build a solid foundation of skills for school success!

Opportunities To Learn Cursive Is Vital To Classroom Success
For many people, cursive sounds old fashioned and outdated.
In fact, 23 states have taken cursive out of their curriculum all together.
Not having cursive as an option is detrimental for many children who struggle with handwritten work.
I think of cursive as the amazing "do over" for kids who have messy printing.
For children who have been struggling for several years with their printing, learning cursive gives them an opportunity to write neatly with speed.
Trying to teach and reteach printing over and over without improvement is not the way to go.
A child might be able to write slowly with good habits but, most likely, they will revert right back to their old inefficient habits when they have to put their thoughts down on paper in a given timeframe.
Giving up on handwriting all together is not a viable option either as more than 50% of a child's school day is spent writing.
Second grade is an ideal time to teach cursive as there is typically a high interest level and the workload is not as heavy; allowing time to transition to using cursive as their primary form of writing.
It is important, not only to teach proper formation and connections, but also write with speed while maintaining legibility.
If a child can write the connected cursive alphabet (lowercase), legibly, in 35-40 seconds they are ready to use cursive for classroom assignments and homework.
Solving the b d Reversal Challenge
What do you do about those pesky letters b and d?
Reversing these two letters is a big concern for many families that come into our clinic. Many beginning readers and writers struggle to distinguish between the two letters because they are so similar; unlike other letters in the alphabet that look significantly different no matter which way you look at them.
Occasional errors are common for kids between the ages of 3-7. During this time of development, the first thing you need to do is prevent confusion before it begins.
Teaching correct letter formation is critical to prevent confusion.
When you form the letter b, be sure to start with a line first, then trace back up and around.
To form the letter d, start with a c, continue up to the top and trace back down.
Keep your pencil stuck to the paper when you write each of these letters.
If your child is 8 years old, and still reverses b and d, work to help resolve their confusion.
There are several hints and tricks to help resolve b and d reversals. One of the things we demonstrate to children is that lowercase b is actually hiding inside of uppercase B.
A fun exercise you can do is to write out a bunch of lowercase b's and d's randomly on a sheet of paper. Have your child use colored pencils or markers to turn all of the lowercase b's into uppercase B's. This will help them to discriminate between b and d because you can't turn and lowercase d into an uppercase B.
Have fun and let me know how it goes!

Why is an accusing word. A word that is inherent criticism.After all, if everything was perfect, you wouldn't need to ask why. Have you ever heard anyone ask, "Why is the house so clean?" or "Why were the errands all run?" No. You haven't.
Read Whole Story
In today's society, with our over-scheduled lives and the daily grind of life, it's sometimes difficult to find time to enjoy a quiet moment or to stop and smell the proverbial roses. It's even more challenging force ourselves to be honest with ourselves and ask this tough question: Why?
Sure, there is no shortage of people who hold positions of power and authority, or who are put on a pedestal and proclaimed a leader - by the media, their supporters, or often themselves. But they aren't leaders. Actual leadership is in short supply.
Contrary to popular belief, busy is not good in and of itself. Busy is only good from both professional and personal standpoints if you're working productively to achieve a meaningful goal, and one which justifies the time, effort and energy put towards this task.
The way you get people to do what you want, the way you get people to buy your product or use your service, the way you get people to follow your lead - it is all the same. You let these people know what is in it for them.
We are too often programmed to start with "the what and the how" -- the service or product and the way it does its thing -- and omit the greater value of it all.
Nature or nurture? Do we, by default, stop asking questions as we get older? Or are those questions driven from our minds by parents and teachers -- like rats from a sinking ship, locusts from Egypt or any other pestilential metaphor near at hand?
We all get so busy caught up in what we do every day, that we don't give the time to really reflect on why we do it!
Now that the Common Core State Standards require students to make claims and support them with evidence, my students have to learn how to ask and answer more complex questions. This is challenging for both students and teachers.
When considering a career path, I'm sure you've been told to"follow your passion," right? If you're doing something that inspires and motivates you more than anything else, it's probably a good road to be on. But this question likely has left you wondering: what is my passion...?
And what you can do about it.
Yoni Wolf takes a step back to tackle life's disappointments with a newfound sense of appreciation for the graveness of it all, contrasting the tone of his previous albums, yet he hasn't lost his trademark sense for clever wordplay and underhanded irony.
It appears that it is hard to be persuasive when negotiating. People enter negotiations knowing that the other party is an adversary. Each side wants to get the best deal, and so they treat every piece of information given by the other party with skepticism.
Job did not get a straight answer to why then. I cannot imagine why we would get one now. So what are we left with? If faith cannot answer the cry of the heart, what good is it?
When addressing the issue of bullying, I feel all too often no one ever really takes the time to help strengthen students against bullying so as to put bullies out of business.
Americans spend over $11 Billion a year on "self-help" products. But I call it Shelf-Help -- because that's where most of it goes... on the shelf, alo...

Perhaps it's the accordion, but when I first heard Dark Dark Dark I felt like it should be piping through Metros of Paris, sad songs wafting sadly from a band of waif-like ragamuffins.
Neither party does a good job of contextualizing why they have the opinions they do in the first place. Though both parties know why America exists, neither party can tell you why it exists.
There are two kinds of experts, academic experts and practical experts. One is not better than the other, but they are very different and each offers very different value.
This week, direct your attention to Jewish hip-hop artists from Southwestern Ohio and a left coast foursome with enough indie cred to buy a round for the entire Larimer Lounge.
Entrepreneurs see the thing they want or need, and then try to figure out a process for how to get it. People who shouldn't be entrepreneurs see only the standard process.
So what can companies learn from the homeless? Stop talking about yourselves and start talking about why anyone should care.

COLLEGE BASKETBALL: ACC crown is Cavaliers'
CHARLOTTESVILLE—Tony Bennett became a bit envious as he sat at a Taylor Swift concert in John Paul Jones Arena last September.
With more than 14,000 teenagers screaming at a fever pitch, the Virginia men's basketball coach thought to himself, "I wonder if we can get it like this for a game."
Bennett's wishes were granted when No. 4 Syracuse visited 12th-ranked Virginia Saturday with the Atlantic Coast Conference regular-season championship on the line.
In front of an energized sellout crowd of 14,593, the Cavaliers raced past the Orange 75–56 to earn their first outright regular-season ACC title in 33 years.
"I knew it was going to be electric but that crowd gives you something defensively," Bennett said. "It was special how intense it was in there and the passion you got from it."
Bennett said the crowd "either rivaled or surpassed" the country music superstar's concert. It had plenty of reason to be enthusiastic.
Sophomore guard Malcolm Brogdon paced the Cavaliers to their 13th straight win with 19 points, including 17 in the second half. Senior forward Akil Mitchell recorded 12 points and nine rebounds and sophomore center Mike Tobey contributed 11 points and eight boards.
It led to the Cavaliers (25–5, 16–1 ACC) winning 25 games in a season for the first time since 1994–95. They also became the second ACC team to win 16 conference games, joining the 1998–99 Duke squad that played for a national championship.
"We're a part of history," said sophomore guard Justin Anderson, a Westmoreland County native. "Being a part of history is a beautiful thing especially when you set the standard high. You know your record won't be broken for a long time."
The Cavaliers had to overcome the Orange (26–3,
13–3) who won their first 25 games, but has now dropped three of their last four.
Syracuse played the second half without standout forward Jerami Grant, who sat out because of a sore back.
But Orange veteran coach Jim Boeheim made no excuses as the Cavaliers broke a 42-all tie with a 20–5 run en route to the victory.
"I thought coming into the game, watching the tape, from what I've seen Virginia has been the best team in the league this year, and they proved that today," Boeheim said. "They had a tremendous second half. I thought the first half we did about as good a job defensively as we could. The second half they hit a couple of 3s and got it going a little bit."
The Orange used a 13–2 first-half run to take a 28–24 lead on a dunk by forward Rakeem Christmas with 1:12 left in the half.
But Anderson (11 points) responded with a key 3-pointer to pull the Cavaliers within 28–27 with 50 seconds left, and the score stayed that way until halftime.
Bennett said Anderson's 3 was significant because the Cavaliers were 0 for 4 from behind the arc at that point. He said it's "almost impossible" to defeat Syracuse's vaunted 2–3 zone without connecting from deep.
"You need to take the cover off [the zone]," Bennett said, "and we did that."
The top of the zone was shredded in the second half when the Cavaliers drained
7 of 11 3-point attempts.
Freshman point guard London Perrantes' 3 with 8:44 remaining gave the Cavaliers a 49–42 lead and prompted Boeheim to call timeout.
On Virginia's next possession, senior guard Joe Harris drilled another 3 to give Virginia a 52–44 advantage. The Orange drew no closer than seven points the rest of the way.
"I think we just needed to test the zone out," Perrantes said. "We hadn't faced it in ACC play and Coach Bennett hasn't either we weren't really attacking it too much. We were looking to pass the ball and then once we found out if we attack, we can start getting open looks and people started shooting the ball. It just opened it up for us and that's how we got the lead."
Senior walk-on Thomas Rogers got in on the act in the waning moments when he drilled a 3 from the left wing.
Virginia fans stormed the court afterward in celebration. Seniors Harris and Mitchell, both playing their final home game, brought out a ladder so the Cavaliers could cut down the nets as they soaked in the win.
Still, Bennett was cautious of enjoying the moment too much. Virginia lost three out of four games last season after a key victory over Duke and missed the NCAA tournament. The Cavaliers appear to be a lock for the Big Dance this season, but they want to make sure they stick around a while.
"You've got to stay hungry. You've got to stay humble," Brogdon said of what the Cavaliers have learned since last year's collapse. "You can't get a big head regardless of what the media says, regardless of what anybody says. It's about the next game now. We can enjoy this as a team, but now we move on and prepare for the next game."
The Cavaliers have week off before they close the regular season with a trip to Maryland next Sunday. They'll be the No. 1 seed in the ACC tournament, which will be held March 12–16 in Greensboro, N.C.

NAPLES, Fla - It's a story of a hometown boy who has captured the entire nation. Last week, 22 year old Lazaro Arbos stunned the judges on American Idol.
The Gulf Coast High School grad has a severe stutter when he talks, but is flawless when he sings.
Lazaro is in Naples, but has a strict contract with American Idol so he is not allowed to do interviews, but WINK News sat down with his vocal coach, Maria Bruewer, and pastor, Dave Gipson. They both say all this attention and success couldn't have happened to a better person.
Lazaro has stuttered since he was six, but last week America found out his voice is one of a kind.
"It really couldn't have happened to a better person," says Pastor Gipson.
Lazaro worked at Rita's Ice in Naples before auditioning for American Idol. Known around the community as 'Rae,' he attends Legacy Church of Naples religiously.
"The thing about Rae is he is very unassuming, while he's excited about all the attention, he not arrogant. He's very casual about it," says Pastor Gipson.
His stutter is what grabbed America's attention, but those who know him say he's never been upset about it.
"It's who he is," says Maria. "It's a part of who he is and he's such a delightful person you don't even notice it after you get to know him."
After auditioning in Chicago, Lazaro reached out to Maria for voice lessons. "What you see is a very natural God given talent," says Maria.
At this point we only know Lazaro makes it to Hollywood, but Maria has high hopes for her student.
"I think he can go all the way," says Maria. "There's no doubt in my mind. He has the ambition, he has the look. The camera loves him and his voice is very unusual and very soulful."
Lazaro's audition on YouTube has more than 1.6 million views and he has more than 11,000 twitter followers.
"Some girl stopped him, looked at him and started crying just boom, started crying because she recognized him so he's getting that kind of reaction when people see him around Naples," says Gipson.
Lazaro will be in Naples for the next few weeks before he heads to Hollywood.

Halloween bake off
- Asumnuthin Sep 24, 2009 09:31 AM
Halloween bake off at work
Whos got the best recipe to share with me?
Proceeds go to charity a Pediatric Outreach Program at the hospital
re: greygarious
yes I was reading an article about how poor this pumpkin growing season was, such a shame because it is my most favorite fall flavor.
re: greygarious
This is the first I heard of this as well - I must check out the canned pumpkin situation at the store tomorrow! Yikes!
re: flourgirl
In most recipes, baked sweet potatoes can be substituted 1:1 for good results.
re: weezycom
Yes, or roasted winter squash such as acorn or red kuri.
re: rainey
Thanks! :)
re: chowser
yes it has to be halloween theme, and because its a bake sale i was thinking single serve type items would be best....
You mentioned individual size treats which got me thinking - what about cake pops a la Bakerella? You could make all sorts of fun designs: http://www.bakerella.com/trick-or-tre...
Does it have to be sweet? How about some mummy hotdogs? Use a good hotdog or sausage or kielbasa cut lengthwise and strips of pizza dough. The link below is only for a pictorial suggestion. I would wrap more openly crisscrossed on the body (it's going to swell during baking), even partially over the face, skip the mustard and insert a tiny plug of cheese or black olive after baking for an eye or two.
Then there are the ever popular witches' finger cookies. Make them savory by using
a cheese straw recipe, baking with the slivered almond fingernail on. After cooling, mash red food coloring with white cheddar to make blood to glob around the nail. Again, just a visual suggestion with the link below. Sell them by the "handful," five per.
re: greygarious
Martha Stewart's Halloween edition of the magazine is on newstands now. Among the baked goods are some very cute (and scary) cupcakes. :) Back isses of the Halloween edition as well as a magazine she used to put out called "Good things for Kids" (or something like that) have some awesome Halloween ideas as well, if you can locate any of these.
There's also a Martha Stewart Halloween book (very cool BTW) that might be available in a local library.
If it's a sale for children, a dish of dirt is really popular. In individual see through plastic cups, you make a brownies trifle w/ layers of brownies and chocolate pudding, adding gummy worms and bugs. Top w/ a layer of crushed oreos. I take a Pepperidge Farm Milano and pip RIP on the top w/ melted chocolate and push into the trifle halfway so it looks like a tombstone. For a bake sale, tape a spoon to the side.
re: chowser
That's a great idea!
What happened to your pumpkins? We have loads in the UK apparantly
re: chowser
I saw canned pumpkin for sale at my local grocer for $4.79 for the 24oz tin. I don't remember *ever* having paid nearly $5 for a can of pureed anything...this wasn't the cheapest grocer in town but still - almost $5? crazy.
re: maplesugar
Also first I've heard of it, will have to have a look when I am shopping next week. Very thankful I at least have two cans in the cupboard at the moment.
If you have a mini bundt pan, you can do little pumpkin cakes. We did a bakeoff at my work once, and the fella who won made the full sized version sticking one bundt on top of another (I've definitely seen that one in Martha Stewart) and although I though my dessert was tastier (if I do say so myself, lol!) he won. I was peeved.
Here's an example of what I'm talking about - there's loads of variations out there on the web. Must add mini-bundt pan to the "need" list, ha!
re: chowser
GCT thread on shortage: http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/654096
re: greygarious
Thanks--I missed that thread. I'll have to look the next time in the store. I'm the type to buy w/out checking out the price so this is a good warning for me to be careful. I love pumpkin but not enough to pay $5 a can.
I copied a recipe here for "Pumpkin Crack" which sounds like a "dump cake". Planning on making it this season if I can find some canned pumpkin. But I guess you'd have to serve portions in cups or something.

Sign in to digital edition
Friday 28 Nov 2014
By Julia Michalska. Web onlyPublished online: 10 September 2013
This weekend, artists protested against any further demolition of the East Side Gallery in Berlin, an open-air exhibition space covering 1.3km of the Berlin Wall, by covering it with paper. So far, 100m of the wall has been wrapped but the protesters plan to cover the entire section. "We want people to know what it would be like if the gallery wasn't there," says Kani Alavi, the president of the East Side Gallery Artists Association. "We chose white because it's neutral and reminds people of the original colour of the wall."
In March, a German property developer removed segments of the gallery to allow access to a building site for luxury apartments. Some critics saw this as a further sign of the rapid gentrification that is endangering Berlin's cultural history. The current protests are not specifically in reaction to the new construction development, Alavi tells The Art Newspaper, but aim to highlight the ongoing threat to the site. "Something needs to be done," he says. In 1990, international artists painted murals across the longest remaining stretch of the Berlin Wall. It is seen by many as a symbol of freedom and peace. The gallery of work was restored in 2009 to fix fading paint.

My name is Emily and I'm just starting on this difficult journey and hoping I have the strength to get through it. We have over $40k in credit card debt plus a car loan (less than $6k), a student loan ($1800) and now about $1k in hospital bills since I had surgery this June.

|Thu, 11-10-2011 - 11:21am
I joined about a month ago when I discovered that I'd sunk more deeply into debt than I imagined, so I'm relatively new here. I've spent most of my life in school (for your reference point, I'm 37), and lived on credit cards. After I started working, I began making a dent in the pile... until this past year when I got sick and stopped paying attention to my finances. This forum helps me keep track of my spending because I have to respond to all the virtually anonymous people here. Somehow that's easier than talking to people I actually know.
|Thu, 11-10-2011 - 11:31am
I can't remember exactly when I joined this board. I think it was around end of 2007 or early 2008. I had just graduated from my masters program, had a pile of student loan debt ($38K yikes!) a car loan, and a new mortgage on my very first house. To top it off, I added almost $10k In CC debt because of all the costs associating with moving that I never thought of (like a moving truck!) Oh, and I was making 55K a year to service all of this debt!
Fast forward 4.5 years. A new car loan (long story!) but much lower (280/ month, 0% interest projected payoff date Jan 2015)
CC debt will be GONE tomorrow (when my cheque clears . . . YAY).
Student loan debt down to $ 24.5 K
My goal is to have everything gone by the time my car payment is up in 2015!
More importantly however, I have significantly increased my earnings (almost 30K) by switching jobs and moving.
I have also starting retirement savings and am happy to say that 10% of my pay (6% me, 4% match) and so far have just under $40K. I am planning on upping this by a % when my next raise comes in (assuming one does!)
All in all I'm very proud of where I am, and think I'm doing okay for 30. I admit I haven't been as agressive as I could/should be, but part of it is that I want to live my life a bit while I have no responsibilities (read DH or Kids!!)
