The Pittsburgh Pirates didn't have a catching prospect in MLB.com's top 10 list that was released today, but Jonathan Mayo released the 11-15 rankings and had Wyatt Mathisen on the list.

Complete GCL Coverage The Hitters The Pitchers Top Prospects When rating prospects this low in the minors, it's all about potential.

GCL Pirates 2012 Season Recap: Hitters
The Gulf Coast League is one of the most pitcher friendly leagues in the minors. The parks are huge, and the weather can be brutal, playing at noon every day in Florida during some of the most humid months of the year. That's one thing to keep in mind when looking at these stats. The good performances become even more impressive when you consider the pitcher friendly factors, and...

WASHINGTON -- Independence Day is more than a week away, but for those heading to the National Mall to watch the fireworks, it's not too early to plan.
Virginia Railway Express has scheduled two Firecracker special trains, one each on the Fredericksburg and Manassas lines. The price is $10 for a round-trip ticket. Both trains will drop off passengers at Union Station.
The Fredericksburg train begins its run at Leeland Road at 3:45 p.m.; the Manassas train starts at Manassas Park at 4:45 p.m. Tickets are only sold on the VRE website.
Besides marking America's independence, this year's fireworks on the Mall will also celebrate the 200th anniversary of "The Star-Spangled Banner."
Planning is an important part of visiting the Mall on the Fourth of July. Officials recommend people arrive early and bring plenty of water to guard against heat-related illnesses. Do not bring alcohol, grills, weapons or fireworks.
Fireworks aren't the only Independence Day event in D.C. There's a parade down Constitution Avenue, stepping off at 11:45 a.m.; a U.S. Navy band concert on the Washington Monument grounds beginning at 5 p.m.; and the Capitol Fourth Concert at 8 p.m. on the West Front of the Capitol.
The fireworks are scheduled to go off at 9:10 p.m.

I found a recipe on a sailing forum about a month ago, that is something like this.
2.5 litres of white rice
1 litre of raisins
0.5 litre sugar(this was omitted from the first recipe I found, but I believe sugar was supposed to be added)
25 litres of Water
tsp bread yeast
Making the wine
- Add ingredients.
- Seal tightly with cling film, sellotaped around lip.
- Swill (just once) every day.
Racking the wine
- When bubbles stop, syphon into another sterilised container.
- Seal tightly with cling film, sellotaped around lip.
- Swill (just once) every day.
Bottling the wine
- When all gases have stopped escaping (you'll know, cos the cling film stops swelling when you swill it), syphon into sterilised bottles
Has anyone ever done a recipe like this? I believe they mean to use uncooked rice, but I'm not sure because it doesnt say. Knowing what I know about starches and sugar I would think they you would want to use rice that has been mashed, right?
If they rice is supposed to be un-mashed, what is the purpose of adding it?
Currently into : Rice Wine
In the fermenter: Honey Kolsch, Shining Star Pale Ale, Mead, Rice Raisin Wine.
My Favorites : Honey Kolsch, German Altbier, Apfelwein, Joes Honey mead.
Flaked rice is commonly used a "malt adjunct" in brewing. You can find it in the beer making supplies, or opt to use "instant rice". It is considered to provide a "neutral" flavor impact, and also provides a light color.
This recipe is close:
Rice 'n Raisin Wine
500g flaked rice
500g chopped raisins
1kg sugar
Rind and juice of 1 large lemon
4 litres water
Sherry yeast and nutrient.
Pour boiling water over the rice, raisins, sugar and lemon rind. Stir well to dissolve sugar and when cool add lemon juice, nutrient and active yeast. Ferment for a week, stirring daily then strain and ferment out till it finishes. Rack to a clean jar. Rack as often as necessary to reduce sediment and thereby improve the flavor. The wine is best finished slightly sweet, as it has a full body.
Taken from The Pan Book of Winemaking by B.C.A. Turner, 1964.
Motto: quel che sara sara
Rice will not contribute anything to the way of fermentables. You would need enzymes for that. (Enzymes from barley converts the gelatinized rice to sugars for fermentation). With no conversion, you just get some starch and ricey flavor from the rice, so that your kilju-style wine isn't too off.
Primary: Sake
Secondary: GF Czech Lager
Waiting to be kegged, Italian Primitivo
Kegged&Ready: GF Orange&Coriander, GF Honey Lager, GF chocolate ale, GF English ale, Island mist (zinfandel), Island mist (cbry malbec).
Bottled: Infected Mead, Dry Hard ciders, Accidental Sorghumwine, various unnamed.

Waka returns with the second part of his DuFlocka Rant series. Guests include his Brick Squad familia, Lil Wayne, Ace Hood, French Montana and more. Tracklist and download link after the jump.
Tag: Waka Flocka Flame
Before Waka's DuFlocka Rant 2 arrives tomorrow, here's the latest leak featuring Lil Wayne with production from Lex Luger. You know what they say, you can take 'em out the hood, but you can't take the hood out of them.
Triple F Life didn't go over so well with us, but Flocka's already got a brand new bag. He tells MTV that he's completed his junior set and has collaborations with Timbaland and Wyclef. "I want to drop now," Flocka said, knowing that his wishful thinking won't come to reality just yet. "I'ma put a mixtape out February 5,
Let's face it, Waka was hit with the sophomore jinx for Triple F Life. For starters his single, "I Don't Really Care" lived up to its name and "Get Low" was just a poor effort. The project did have a few highlights with "Lurkin", "Let Dem Guns Blam" , "Power Of My Pen" and of course, the Drake-aided "Round of Applause". But outside of those chosen few, it was downhill from there. Lackluster cuts such as "Rooster In My Rari", "Fist Pump", "Flex", […]
A$AP recently previewed the revamped audio on Ustream, but this evening, the compact disc quality arrives. Get'cha muthafuckin' hands up and support
Waka Flocka's overseas for his Triple Life tour in the UK. While backstage with Tim Westwood, he kicks a rhyme for our listening pleasure.
Interesting breed. Says Mac: if it was up to me, i would give you guys music every day for free…. just for the fuck of it. i wish you could hear everything. however, here is a jam that waka and i made at the crib. just some cool shit, it is music for the sake of creating. this isn't on an album, it's just a gift to show that we care.

|Challenge: To Gain Exposure
An employer in Ohio was struggling with the ever-increasing costs of providing healthcare benefits. As a relatively small employer, larger competitors were able to provide better insurance plans which were luring away his best employees. After some research, the employer opted to offer his employees a supplemental insurance policy that would help to cover dental expenses. The problem was that employees were not aware of the new option, and the employer wanted a way to remind his employees of the new insurance plan so that they would continue to work with him.
Solution: Raise Awareness
The employer decided that the best way to promote his new health care options was through promotional products. Promotional toothbrush covers were chosen because they fit with the dental health insurance policy.
Result: A Reason To Smile
The employer found the promotional product to be terrific exposure. The low price and practical nature of the product made it a great choice for the promotion, and the employer plans to use promotional products for his future publicity needs.

UK court rejects Cukurova's appeal in Turkcell dispute
Tuesday, May 13, 2014
ANKARA - A British court dismissed Turkey's Cukurova Holding's appeal over the ownership dispute of Turkey's biggest mobile phone operator with TeliaSonera on Tuesday.
Cukurova appealed to the UK Privy Council to render a judgement on the jurisdiction of the Geneva court which ordered Cukurova to pay almost $1 billion in damages to TeliaSonera.
The judicial committee of the Privy Council refused Cukurova's appeal against an order from the court in Geneva.
The order decreed that Cukurova pay $932 million in compensation for TeliaSonera's losses due to a violation of the sale agreement in 2005 relating to Cukurova's 53 percent stake in Turkcell to TeliaSonera.

More About Suspect by Robert CraisOverviewThe explosive new masterpiece of suspense from the #1 New York Times-bestselling author.
- The Wrath of Angels
John Connolly
LAPD cop Scott James is not doing so well. Eight months ago, a shocking nighttime assault by unidentified men killed his partner Stephanie, nearly killed him, and left him enraged, ashamed, and ready to explode. He is unfit for duty--until he meets his new partner.
Maggie is not doing so well, either. A German shepherd who survived three tours in Iraq and Afghanistan sniffing explosives before losing her handler to an IED, her PTSD is as bad as Scott's.
They are each other's last chance. Shunned and shunted to the side, they set out to investigate the one case that no one wants them to touch: the identity of the men who murdered Stephanie. What they begin to find is nothing like what Scott has been told, and the journey will take them both through the darkest moments of their own personal hells. Whether they will make it out again, no one can say.

Expect the expected in this stand-alone crime thriller from Shamus Award–winner Crais (The Two Minute Rule). Maggie, a weapon-detecting German shepherd who was seriously traumatized in Afghanistan after an IED killed her human partner and she was shot by a sniper, is struggling as a new member of the LAPD K-9 Platoon. LAPD officer Scott James—who was traumatized after unidentified gunmen killed his partner, Stephanie Anders, and seriously wounded him—makes it his mission to get past Maggie's defenses to make her functional again. An attractive female detective assists James after his own return to form enables him to take a more active role in investigating who gunned down Anders. Dog lovers who believe the animals are superior to humans in every way will find this lukewarm tale of redemption inspiring. Fans of Crais's sharp-edged Elvis Cole novels will find less to admire. Author tour. Agent: Aaron Priest, Aaron M. Priest Literary Agency. (Jan. 22)

At first, I was gonna get Please Me, because I saw so many pics of it online and it looked gorgeous for a neutral lip color. But I tried it on in the store, and it looked chalky, overly blue toned, and just appalling on my skin tone (NC 40). In fact, one of the mac girls laughed and said, "ya, probably don't want such a light pink unless you're a gogo dancer!"
So i picked up chatterbox, tried a light wash of it on, and actually loved the way it looked on me. Looking at the tube, I would never have though it would look natural on me, but it did when i tried it!
The only main draw back is when i apply a heavy wash of it on, it looks too neon, but I never wear lipstick heavily anyway, so otherwise, love this color! If you are warm toned, you should definitely try this out!

One of the few lipsticks ever I would say I might be able to end. I've got far over 200 lipsticks in my collection but this one is special. I'm very fair skinned (N5-N10) with a neutral undertone so on me it doesn't look pastel at all, it's a medium pink but with the milkiness of a pastel, it's so amazing! And of course it's an amplified creme, what is there to dislike about it..

This is a very cute, playful lipstick. I like to sheer it out with a little bit of lipgloss or shiny chapstick. Sometimes I dab a tiny bit on as a stain. I definitely think that applied heavily/alone it would look too severe on my NW20 skin. I like this for days when my skin is nice, and my eye makeup is just a bit of mascara. Worth having because it's not too blue-toned like many Barbie colors tend to be.

A MAC representitive said this was her favourite, and when she recommended I tried it I fell in love! Definitely one of my favourites. Slightly drying for me so I need to condition my lips before I apply it, but other than that no problems! I'm an NC20 and it really suits my skin. Not too bright, but still quite bold and very colourful. Very pigmented! :-)

This is such a flattering lipstick for anyone with warm undertones as it is a very warm pink. The color isn't too bright, so it's great for everyday wear as well! This is definitely one of my favorites from MAC.

Age: 25-29 Skin: Oily, Fair-Medium, Neutral Hair: Black, Straight, Medium Eyes: Brown
There was a recent blog sale that has a great selection of "Barbie Pink" MAC lippies. I was lucky to be the first to choose between Pink Nouvou, Viva Glam Gaga, Crosswire, Creme Cup, Speed Dial, Bombshell, Angel, and Chatterbox. Of course I wanted all (lol) but I chose Creme Cup, Bombshell, and Chatterbox based on the swatches. I'm happy with all 3, but Chatterbox is my most loved and treasured MAC lipstick EVER. It was love at first swipe and I never had that kind of feeling on a lipstick before. It made my heart skipped a beat and I have that incredible urge to buy a backup right away (which never EVER happened to me). The color stands out so well and matches my asian skintone since it has some coral tone to it. VERY VERY FLATTERING on me! It brightens my face and I look....fun and happy (lol). My sister never used any light toned lipsticks since it would wash her out (despite the fact that she's NC20), but it suits her very well (her lips turned coral-pink nude, not bright at all). Love it!

I love love LOVE Chatterbox! It's a great pinky red (as described by MAC) that isn't too bright or anything, but will still make a statement. I think it's fairly neutral and doesn't have much blue in the color. It's an amplified creme, so it goes on nicely and slightly stains so it stays on for a longtime. I will definitely buy this again!

This is my first Mac lipstick and I LOVE IT. I am Asian so I have a warm and yellow undertone and I was so scared of finding the right lipstick because I didn't want to look extra yellow. My friend dragged me to the counter and forced me to try this and OMG, girls get it! This is really cute and bright pink without being so dramatic. You can notice the pink tone, however, it is subtle but noticeable. I know it sounds impossible, but it is possible. I wear this whenever I get a chance to wear! It is good for everyday wear.

lol... i didnt read the reviews here before buying it. I just bought it after trying out 6 lipsticks in the mac counter. The sa thought I was going to buy all of them at once! I didnt realize similar colored girls bought the same lipstick! hahah!
Bubblegum pink. I like it. I'm asian with yellow undertones, but somehow I manage to wear this without looking horribly wrong. Lol. I was looking for a pink-ish color to wear everyday, and this fits the bill! This looks very beautiful in pictures! You know that with pictures, your make up softens somewhat, but what this does is give you beautiful pink lips! It looks absolutely gorgeous!

Examine Your Opponent's Racket, But Don't Complain About It!
Before a match starts, you are allowed to examine your opponent's racket. Some of your opponents will use surfaces that you might not be used to playing, such as long or short pips, or antispin. Many players immediately begin grumbling about it, either out loud or in their minds. Either way, you've just brought your game down a notch. Examine and think about the opponent's racket only tactically, and stay positive. If you aren't used to a surface, the worst thing you want to do is lower your confidence even more by going negative! Just think about what you have to do against that surface. Play into the surface early on and try to get used to it. Remember, if the surface truly were an advantage, the majority of players would be using it and if they are not, that means there is a built-in disadvantage to the surface. Find it and exploit it.

Wrestling With and Conquering Learning Disabilities
In second grade, my parents had a conference with my teacher where they discussed how I was not progressing as fast as other students. It was suggested that I be tested for learning disabilities (LD). My parents agreed and took me to Northwestern University for testing. I was diagnosed with dyslexia.
Thus began my association with the Learning Disabilities department at Northwestern, including Dr. Doris Johnson, Dr. Kathleen Bradley, and graduate and doctoral student teachers. They taught me how I view, break down, and sound out words. I learned how to read, and comprehend what I read. They taught me how to use my strengths. I cannot write well (dysgraphia), but I am able to type my thoughts. I read better by listening to books on CD, rather than struggling with the printed word. I am an auditory learner, and I can process a teacher's lecture better than trying to type notes as they speak. I was taught (and am still learning) Kurzweil reading software. I rely heavily on spell check.
Throughout my grade school years, I would often hear comments like: "if Scott would only slow down, his printing would improve" and "if Scott would only study more, he would do so much better on his spelling quizzes." My parents and Dr. Bradley would constantly repeat the same mantra in meeting after meeting: my difficulties had nothing to do with how long I studied or how slow I printed, they were not going to change and they were not a way to gauge my intelligence. I remember these conversations—my parents always insisted I be at the meetings.
|Scott Schwartz, a runner-up for the 2012 Anne Ford Scholarship, is an honor student, athlete, and student leader. But his experiences with dyslexia and dysgraphia have made his path challenging. For Scott, joining his school's wrestling team helped him gain confidence that went well beyond the mat.
The most hurtful comments were from teachers who said that I couldn't do/learn certain things or when kids called me stupid. For years I believed they were right—that I was different, that I was not bright and that I would never be "normal."
Author and LD expert Rick Lavoie talks about how all kids have "poker chips" in their backpacks. Each chip represents self-confidence. Popular kids have backpacks overflowing with chips. They walk with their heads held high, and never seem to doubt their abilities and social skills. If they do something embarrassing and lose a few chips along the way, it's no big deal because they have plenty to replace what was lost. Kids with LD go to school with few chips in their possession, and are careful not to bring attention to themselves, not to look different or act different because we don't have many chips to lose.
In eighth grade, my world took a 180 degree turn. Our principal introduced wrestling to our school. He wrestled in high school and college and he also coached wrestling. He explained that wrestling taught him discipline and other skills. I had no interest, but my father forced me to practice. He said, "Practice through your first match and after it's over, if you still want to quit you can." I agreed. The day of my match I went out on the mat, the ref blew his whistle, I grabbed my opponent, pushed him down, and fell on top of him. Then, the ref hit the mat and raised my arm in victory. It was the ugliest win in my career, but I haven't left the wrestling room since then.
In high school I knew I would wrestle; I also knew there would be challenges academically and socially. My sophomore year was filled with highs and lows. Academically, I received an honorable mention (and just missed honor roll). I was named to the Varsity Wrestling team and transformed my physique to become a stronger, leaner wrestler. I began to understand how to use the techniques I was learning in practice to match competition. The lows came in waves. I still was struggling with my dyslexia and dysgraphia. It seemed at times, I would move one step forward and then slip three steps back. The words were dancing on the pages and the math formulas were not connecting. I was told that this is a common occurrence for dyslexics, and to endure and it will pass, but living through it is torture. What was most frustrating was trying to explain to people what was happening to me. I saw and felt what was happening, but how do I explain that a sentence is no longer is a sentence, or that a math formula that I mastered last week has disappeared? Instructions that were given to me, instructions that I repeated… poof… vanished from my brain.
Despite the challenges, I am very proud of my accomplishments throughout my junior year. I made honor roll and earned a 4.0 second semester. I am the founder and president of the Power Lifting Club, and have developed sport-specific routines to help students achieve their personal goals related to their sport. Last year, at the beginning of the wrestling season, I was elected Co-Captain (an honor typically reserved for seniors.) I was re-elected Captain for my senior year.
I was chosen to participate in our school's Student Athlete Leadership Training program. The program is designed to guide students into becoming better leaders within their sport, and throughout the community. I have been a moderator and facilitator for other high schools in my area and this year served as a Senior Advisor/Helper to incoming freshmen. This year, I have been asked to speak to the freshmen class during our school-wide NAMES program. I am speaking on the effects of bullying and my personal experiences and will be on a panel to discuss bullying issues.
Prior to high school, I felt my challenges were too hard to overcome. I felt as if I was destined to be a failure. Five years ago, I would never have dreamed that I would have the opportunity to go to college. Now that dream is not only in reach but, as I have learned these past four years, I will conquer the challenges that I face moving forward. The experts have labeled me "Learning Disabled," but that is not the best way to describe me, as I am able to learn and accomplish great things with the right support. They should re-label me "Learning Inconvenienced."

This screening must either be done "with hand-held metal detection or walk-through magnetometers." According to the Daily News, this screening requirement results from the MLB and "the Department of Homeland [Security's ongoing effort] to standardize security practices across the game." The new scans "will be in addition to bag checks that are now uniform throughout the MLB." The Seattle Mariners will comply in 2014, requiring all fans "to walk through metal detectors" at this year's opener." On Octoberr 7th, Breitbart News reported the NFL took a similar step by banning the possession of guns by off-duty police officers during games. Follow AWR Hawkins on Twitter @AWRHawkins

It seems like every big movie franchise out there will eventually have the Rock as the star. The former WWE superstar is reportedly in talks to take over the Transformers movies. There are talks that he might replace his former costar Mark Wahlberg. Bruce Willis has also been rumored to join the Rock in the Transformers films. The two of them worked together in the latest GI Joe movie.
November 27, 2014
After conquering the world of professional wrestling and Hollywood, the Rock has earned himself the right to live his life as he pleases. One of the things that the former WWE champion always wanted to try was stand up comedy. He pleasantly surprised some people at the Hollywood Improv this week when he showed up unannounced and did a quick routine. No word yet on whether or not the Rock plans to keep doing shows.
November 18, 2014
While fans are clinging on to hope that the Rock does another stint with WWE, the former world heavyweight champion keeps piling on more and more to his Hollywood plate. It has now been announced that Rock and the massively popular Kevin Hart will be teaming up for a movie called Central Intelligence. Rock will portray a former bullied classmate who is now a hit man for the government, while Hart is the former star athlete turned accountant that will be recruited to help on a case.
November 11, 2014
While he has long maintained that he has no desires to leave WWE for Hollywood, John Cena is publicly expressing interest in expanding his horizons. The former heavyweight champion wants to show the audience that he can do comedic roles. The belief is that he might have been influenced by the massive success of the Rock and Batista over the last couple of years.
October 22, 2014
As many of you already know, the Rock is in Japan to promote the Hercules movie that he stars in. While there, he decided to have dinner with a very famous individual. The former WWE star dined with Mark Zuckerberg, the genius behind Facebook. Rock noted that he was quite grateful towards social media because it has enabled him to connect with fans in a very intimate way.
October 21, 2014
Earlier this month, the Great Muta promised to attack the Rock when the former WWE star visited Japan to promote his Hercules movie. Obviously, there was no real life friction, and Muta was simply stating that to help with promotion. The Japanese legend did show up at the event, teased tension with the Rock before shaking hands and posing for pictures together.
October 19, 2014
A lot of speculation has arisen ever since Rock made a surprise appearance on Monday Night Raw and worked a segment with Alexander Rusev and Lana. Many are under the impression that a match between the two could take place at Wrestlemania 31. However, WWE does not appear to be heading in that direction. Rusev is still penciled in for a high profile match against John Cena at the pay per view.
October 12, 2014
Some interesting stuff came out of a recent interview that Mark Henry did with Newsday. The former world heavyweight champion revealed that he met Rock in Canada while he was playing professional football. Henry was up there training with Bret Hart and his family. Henry recruited Rock into joining WWE with him. While they were in developmental, the two of them even shared an apartment.
October 11, 2014
WWE is very optimistic that they can sign the Rock to work a match at Wrestlemania 31. However, he remains noncommittal at the moment. When asked during interviews about a potential return to the wrestling ring, Rock usually brushes it off. He recently joked about not wanting to be punched in the mouth. The belief is that Hollywood executives are very much against Rock wrestling again.
October 11, 2014
Since he made an appearance on Monday Night Raw and worked a segment with Alexander Rusev, speculation has run wild that the Rock will be wrestling a match at Wrestlemania 31. As of right now, that seems highly unlikely, as the former world heavyweight championship has signed on for several movies over the next year. The studios are also said to be against the idea of him risking injuries in a wrestling ring again.
October 9, 2014
As most people, even those who do not watch on a weekly basis, already know, the Rock made a surprise return to Monday Night Raw this week. He verbally berated Lana and Alexander Rusev before engaging in a physical confrontation with the latter. Reports have surfaced that WWE officials instructed the Rock to only utilize punches, so that the Rusev character can be protected.
October 7, 2014
Rumors are heating up that the Rock might make an appearance tonight on Monday Night Raw. The speculations were fueled when it was discovered that the former world heavyweight champion was in New York City right now. WWE is holding their live event tonight in nearby Brooklyn. The belief is that he will not be showing up because management would have advertised the appearance ahead of time to increase ratings.
October 6, 2014
The movie roles keep coming in for the Rock. The former WWE star revealed through social media that he will be starring in the big screen version of Baywatch. Reports are saying that the movie will not be based directly on the characters on the television show and will involve a lot more comedy. Minor roles are being written for David Hasselhoff and Pamela Anderson, should they decide to accept the parts.
October 3, 2014
While the speculations had long been out there, the Rock has finally confirmed that he will be starring in The Janson Directive. The movie is based off of a novel by Robert Ludlim, who passed away in 2001 and will not get to see the big screen adaptation of his work. Rock revealed to WWE fans that he will be producing and writing the movie as well.
September 27, 2014
After struggling to choose which role he wanted to play, the Rock has now revealed that he will be portraying Black Adam on the big screen soon. The character is from Marvel. Black Adam is usually a villain, but he has sometimes been utilized as an antihero. Rock also had the option to play Captain Marvel, but he eventually opted to play the nemesis of the lead character instead.
September 3, 2014
During a recent interview with Alternative Nation, Hornswoggle was asked about his backstage heat with the Rock. The WWE star revealed some details about an incident that took place when the Rock was revealed as the special guest host of Wrestlemania 27. Hornswoggle stated that the Rock confused him for a Make a Wish kid. Rock apparently tapped him on the shoulders and asked if he had a good time at the show.
August 29, 2014
Reports are surfacing that there is some backstage heat between Vince McMahon and Triple H at the moment over the main event of Wrestlemania 31. McMahon wants Brock Lesnar to defend the title against the Rock, as he feels that those two guys would produce the biggest draw of a match for WWE. HHH, however, wants the company to elevate Roman Reigns by having him challenge Lesnar.
August 18, 2014
Since Hercules has been deemed a bit of a disappointment, there are talks that the Rock might miss out on some opportunities in Hollywood. Rumors have it that the WWE legend is not all that concerned. His popularity has not taken that big of a hit, and it should increase when the next Fast and Furious movie is released. Studios are still interested in the Rock as a leading man.
August 15, 2014
"My mom and my cousin, Savelina Fanene, were struck head on by a drunk driver this week. They lived. First reaction is to find the person who did this and do unrelenting harm to them, but then you realize the most important thing is my family lived through this, and we can hug each other that much tighter these days. Hug your own family tighter today and be grateful you can tell them you love them." - Rock talks about how a DUI almost killed his family
August 10, 2014
While the movie did not dominate in the United States as the studios had hoped, Hercules has done well overseas. Rock has now informed the fans that the movie has topped the box offices in India, Russia and Australia. The movie has generated almost the same amount from international viewers as it has domestic ones. There's still talks that the movie might barely break even for the studios, which would definitely not be a good sign for the Rock.

You call that a steering wheel SteelSeries?
Subject: General Tech | January 10, 2012 - 04:16 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: input, steering wheel, steelseries, Simraceway SRW-S1
One tends to think of a steering wheel as a fairly simplistic device, with perhaps a few controls on it that do not directly relate to steering a vehicle, but for the most part it simply allows you to steer. SteelSeries obviously thinks differently as you can see on their Simraceway SRW-S1 below. It seems to possess more buttons than a gamepad, with speakers and a camera built in and accelerometres to allow you to use it in mid air. Legit Reviews had fun reviewing the wheel and driving around tracks and their shoulders are much broader after a few hours of gameplay as well.
"I have a been a real-world racing fan for all of my life, growing up in earshot distance from a famous dirt racetrack in Southern California. I've always enjoyed NASCAR and more recently have come to love Formula 1 and World Rally Championships so when SteelSeries announced a new peripheral – their first ever racing wheel – I was more than a little skeptical. A racing controller without pedals for less than $120?!? What does SteelSeries, a manufacturer who is best known for headsets and professional mice know about racing? At this point I was thinking that a good comparison for the SRW-S1 might be my kid's Mario Kart Wii wheel..."

Are all USB 3.0 hubs made the same?
Subject: General Tech | January 4, 2012 - 03:54 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: input, usb 3.0, usb hub, Rosewill RHB-610, SYBA SY-HUB20090
With USB 3.0 finally becoming commonplace on motherboards and mobile devices as well as peripherals, it was inevitable for USB 3.0 hubs to start to arrive on the market. That raises two immediate questions; is it as fast as a plug located on a motherboard and is there a difference in performance between manufacturers. RealWorldLabs looks to answer those questions by using two 4-port hubs, Rosewill's RHB-610 and SYBA's SY-HUB20090 along with a Gigabyte G1 Assassin motherboard. It seems that with one device connected via the hub, the performance is about 90% of the direct connection to the motherboard which seems a small price to pay to not have to crawl behind your PC to swap USB 3.0 devices, unfortunately the short cables on these hubs still will have you bending over a bit to deal with them.
"If you're looking to buy a USB 3.0 compatible hub and you're worried about performance and quality issues then this comparison between two of the most famous 4-port USB 3.0 hubs currently in the market should easily answer some if not all your questions."

We saw a BF3 branded gaming peripheral kit not long after the arrival of the game and you can get your hands on a Diablo 3 branded kit already, even though we are still awaiting the release of that game. Now Razer offers some love to fans of Star Wars: The Old Republic with a new mousepad, mouse and headset kit all bearing a familiar logo. The mouse is based on the Naga and has a 5600dpi sensor, 17 programmable buttons and both wired and wireless capabilities. Most important the LEDs can switch between red or blue (well, 16 million colours total) as well as changing the logo to properly advertise the side you have chosen. The headset uses 50mm drivers and also sports changeable logos and LED colours, though the mousepad lacks that ability. Along with the pack, Hardware Heaven points out that you get a colour change crystal for use in game to change the colour of your blaster bolts and lightsaber blade.
"Every big game release can be enhanced by a set of quality devices which tie in with the overall feel of the franchise and that is exactly what Razer aim to deliver with their The Old Republic gaming gear. We have the mouse, headset and mouse mat on our test bench today for a detailed look at what they offer for The Old Republic gamer."

Tagged: input, battlefield 3, gamepad, razer
As strongly as many feel about the keyboard and mouse interface others have been raised on the gamepad and have a strong preference to use them. Razer is looking to attract that crowd with their Battlefield 3 branded D-Pad. Red & Blackness Mods gave the USB gamepad a whirl on both the PC and XBox 360 and were quite happy with the performance offered on both. So for those of you who do prefer PC gaming with a console style game pad, Razer has you covered.
"Battlefield 3 is one of those killer titles which draws a lot of interest and aiming to offer those consumers something a little more interesting than the average peripheral is Razers BF3 Collectors Edition products. We have the BlackWidows Ultimate keyboard, Onza Tournament Edition controller, Imperator 2012 mouse and Scarab pad on our test bench today."

Tagged: steelseries, input, gaming mouse, diablo iii
When SteelSeries went about creating the Diablo 3 themed mouse, they decided not to just slap a paint job on an existing mouse, they actually added a bit to the design. A soft coating over the top of the mouse should help cushion your fingers so you can get a few extra thousand clicks out of them for your long Diablo III sessions. A 5700DPI sensor will see you through not only Diablo but any other game you might want and as the software supports macros you can string together a variety of commands for your avatar. Also included in Hardware Heavens review is the Diablo III branded Siberia V2 headset; are they just a common drop or are we looking at gold items? Read on to find out.
"Continuing their great working relationship with Blizzard SteelSeries are back with a new set of gaming peripherals based on the upcoming Diablo 3. We have the Diablo 3 Headset and Mouse on our test bench today and have been taking them through a few dungeon runs to find out how they perform."

Tagged: input, keyboard, mobile, touchpad, chill innovation
The tiny Chill Innovation KB-1BT Bluetooth Micro Keyboard is 155mm x 61mm x 12mm (6.1" x 2.4" x 0.5") so you obviously can't expect full sized keys especially with the 31mm2 (1.2"2) trackpad on the side. What you can expect is to hook up the keyboard wirelessly to any device that can manage Bluetooth, the USB connection is to recharge the keyboard. MektuMods enjoyed using the device but question its value, the model they reviewed was 70 Euros (~$100USD) to purchase.
"There are several keyboard/mouse bundles available these days. The new KB-1BT combines these two items into a single package. This is something that one could imagine using while watching movies via HTPC or writing a document with an iPad. So, is it worth your money? Let us find out..."

The Mad Catz Cyborg R.A.T.7 gaming mouse is already the strangest looking mouse on the market. The amount of customization possible just for the physical layout of the mouse is incredible, this goes far beyond just adjusting weight and DPI, the entire mouse can be reshaped for your hand. Not content with having only one type of these oddball devices, Mad Catz have created an albino version which will certainly stand out on any desk. RealWorldLabs needs more than just a colour change before they recommend a mouse, they need to game with it as well.
"With an lightning fast next gen 6400DPI twin-eye laser sensor, a more elegant white color (Apple fans) and the same impressive set of features as the original R.A.T.7 the latest Albino version is very close to being the ultimate gaming mouse to date aimed at the most hardcore of gamers."

The new SteelSeries Sensei mouse sports what OC3D refers to as looking "molten it's so smooth and rounded". Aesthetics wer important in the design of this mouse; while it only has 2 DPI settings it houses an array of LED lights which can glow through the logo and mouse wheel in just about any colour you could want. As well it sports a small LCD screen on the bottom if the mouse which can display which of your programmed profiles are currently active. The two DPI settings can be adjusted, but you can only switch between the two settings you programmed into the mouse using the very well designed driver software. The onboard ARM processor will let you crank it up to 11,400 DPI though, if you want to play by just staring hard at the mouse.
"Today we take a look at very latest gaming mouse from SteelSeries, the Sensei. Defeat does not exist in this Dojo, does it?"

The ModMyMachine SlamePad is a 4mm thick aluminium rectangle, 315 x 235 mm, with a rubber coating designed to let your mouse move at high speeds and still have the sensor properly register the movement. The pad comes in 10 different colours to ensure it matches your tastes as well as your skill. Mad Shrimps do point out that aluminium pads are noisier to use than cloth pads but are much easier to clean and do tend to last quite a while longer.
"The new SlamePad mouse pad from ModMyMachine is made from high quality materials, durable, and is designed for speed, by featuring a smooth top surface, which can be found in one of the 10 available colors."

As its name implies the new Razer Mamba Dual Sensor 4G has two sensors to increase its accuracy though you would not know it was a wireless mouse. It is not strictly wireless either, a locking USB plug will turn it into a wired mouse for those not desiring to worry about battery life. The driver software allows you to change your DPI settings as well as save button programming in up to 5 different profiles. If you need a high end gaming mouse and are willing to spend $120 to get it, drop by Bjorn3D to see the Mamba 4G in action.
"The Razer Mamba Dual Sensor 4G offers the latest in wireless mouse technology with style, ensuring a response time that is equal to a wired high end gaming mouse."
