Xbox Live, PlayStation Network, and Nintendo's Wi-Fi Connection. One of these things is not like the others.

Thomas Warren,
COLLEGE PARK, Md. - Prince George's County Animal Management was forced to remove a Rottweiler from its home Sunday afternoon after complaints that the owner left the dog exposed to the bitter cold weather much of the past week without proper shelter.
"Per my officer getting to the scene, he saw the same situation that the College Park (officials) saw on Thursday, which was the dog was outside without proper shelter in the cold temperatures. So, the dog was impounded," says Chief Rodney Taylor with Prince George's County Animal Management Division.
An official from the City of College Park Animal Control (CCPAC) went to the property on Friday, and issued the dog's owner a warning, according to sources. Temperatures that day fell to a low of 19 degrees in the Washington, D.C. area, according to the National Weather Service.
The CCPAC refused to comment to WTOP on the handling of the case.
"As the temperature dipped I got really concerned, and that's when I contacted animal control in College Park," says a citizen who first notified authorities of the situation Thursday. The dog was seen tethered to a deck in the backyard past midnight some days, according to the citizen, who lives in the neighborhood, and spoke to WTOP on the condition of anonymity over concern for her safety.
Prince George's County requires dogs kept outside for extended periods of time to be provided with proper shelter.
Click here for the county rules regulations and recommendations for sheltering dogs.
The Rotweiller is currently being held in the Prince George's County Animal Services Facility in Upper Marlboro. In order to get the dog back, the owner must pass a home inspection by the county's animal management.
"If he meets everything he needs to meet, he can redeem his dog and take it home," says Taylor.
WTOP went to the home of the dog owner Sunday night for comment, but knocks on the door went unanswered.
The wooden deck in the back of the home where the dog was said to be tethered is attached to the back door. Two lawn chairs adorn a corner, and a "Beware of Dog" sign is stamped on the outside of the staircase leading to the yard.
There is no fencing on the property.
Edward Schwartz lives across the street. He says the dog was aggressive and barked a lot, and although he never had any specific issues, he won't be heartbroken if the dog doesn't return.
"He's a nice guy who lives there, but I hate his dog," Schwartz says.
Another neighbor says she's never had an issue with the dog or the owner.

CORNING, N.Y. -- A Steuben County school district is beginning to look at ways to merge marching bands as part of a larger transition.
The Corning-Painted Post district is mapping out ideas on how to merge the Corning East and Corning West High School's marching bands. Administrators say both high schools have large marching bands with active parent support groups. Leaders are closely looking at ways to keep approximately 500 students actively involved in the program.
"What's being presented is the idea of two marching bands and one being a performance band and one being a competition band, which really kind of reflects the culture of both existing high schools right now. East High is a competitive band. West High is what they refer to as a show band," said Superintendent Mike Ginalski.
Eventually, the entire music program will be transitioned into one.
In 2014, the district will have one high school and one middle school.

Adolescence is a time of many changes and challenges. Developing bodies and social and academic stresses make for a difficult period for many teens. Yet most teens get through these years with only short-term feelings of sadness or irritability.
While people sometimes use the word "depressed" to describe how they feel, there is also a psychiatric disorder known as "clinical depression" or "major depression." To learn more about adolescent depression and treatment options download NAMI's Family Guide below.

More or less nailed it.
I mean seriously he has to be one of the worst developed characters I've ever seen. Pretty much he starts off as a whimp in Nagrand ashamed of his fathers mistakes and fearing the mantle of leadership because he may repeat them. Thrall has a word with the son of his late friend and Garrosh gets his confidence!
However he randomly transitions into a hot headed, unreasonable racist. Varian like Garrosh is another WoW original absent from WC3, but he is an awesome character, he can been seen as a Horde hating prick at first but then you think back. His father was murdered by an orc he trusted, his city burned down by the old Horde and finally his adoptive father figure Lothar was later killed by an Orc. He has every reason to hate them.
What is Garrosh's reason to hate the Alliance? He literally has none unless I'm missing something. In Cataclysm Blizzard tried to add depth to Garrosh's character, not really wanting to become Warchief, having a sense of honor and being infuriated how at he killed Cairne in an unfair duel. He took much of what Saurfang taught him in Northrend and tried to apply it, but overall still a jackass. Insulting the ever loyal Darkspear Leader and come on, you don't fall the Forsaken Banshee Queen a female dog. Clearly lacking in the political and public relation skills.
It seems Blizzard realized this and just said "Yea we screwed up, there is no fixing him so lets just kill him off" However instead of allowing him to redeem himself in self sacrifice they turn him into the final boss. Smart choice in a sense of pleasing players because come on...we all want to kill Garrosh. No one likes him.
The core of Garrosh's character overall seems to lead up to his father and repeating his mistakes. Now I never played WC3, but I am a lore nerd. From what I know Grom wasn't a blindly arrogant hot head. I'm sure he wasn't as level headed as the human raised Thrall though. Grom's mistake was drinking the blood of Mannorath and cursing his people. The thing is....it was either drink the blood or get torn to shreds by the orc hating Cenarius who wasn't up for negotations.
He made a choice to save his group.
Garrosh lacks this, while he is motivated to keep the Horde strong for their survival he lacks the threat of what plagued other tragic heroes such as Arthas and the Scourge or Kael'thas and his people's magic addiction.
Overall this guy is just a shame and Grom's legacy deserved better. Unless I'm missing something.

He's not meant to be a tragic hero, he's meant to be a dick. When Garrosh first comes to Orgrimmar, he see's Thrall's putting his people through a 40 years in the desert type thing to atone for the first war, which he doesn't think is all that great being that he thinks the orcs where just doing what they needed to to survive (like you say drink the blood or get shredded by a demi-god) and that not all the orcs alive at present where really around during the First war. Furthermore he's got Proudmoore's Navy raiding Razorhill, Dwarves and Humans keep contesting the orcs rulership of the barrens, and the Nelfs keep attacking the lumber from Ashenvale (which he viewed as a much better palce to settle the orcs), he also resents that Thrall's dealing with the threats to the other horde races whilst he lets the orcs languish in the desert, where they have to rely on others to provide food.
He's pissed that his people are pretty much still refugees.

Garrosh is an orc hailing for their homeland, therefore behaves how a natural orc should, if you have a dispute with someone just bash it over the head until it cries uncle...or dies. Politics aren't the Orc way. Which means Garrosh isn't exactly racist but simply if your not with him then your a threat to his and his people's survival.
The only problem with this theory however is it would make Thrall quite possibly the biggest dimwit in the entire history of Warcraft. Knowing the core of Garrosh's personality you still make him leader someone whose only been on Azeroth for about 3 years at the time and whose nature disregards strategic maneuvering or politics. (Hell theory or not Thrall is an idiot for that regardless)
I play alliance side for the most part so I've only picked up much of the story second hand and I agree, Garrosh's story is rather disjointed and contradictory. I do like the fact they made him an authentic villain and not the previously mentioned tragic hero. Crap, they even left some Vader like good in Arthas ffs.
That said, his motivations are a little unclear and circumstances escalated extremely quickly.
Garroshs gets died of death by some Euro super guild and the. Everyone se down to LFR dregs. Who's the next warchief?
My money is on Vol'Jin with Thrall's stamp of approval.
your hat may be nice, but I have the little white tank top that says Legendary right across my boobs. I win. (or more correctly, H wins)
Could just as easily be Baine ... he's the most humble of the lot. That said they've also included Lor'themar a lot though he would probably be too antagonistic and for the same reason Sylvannas is out. And Gallywix might as well just not exist. That said remember if they replace the warchief with a non-orc then the orcs themselves need a new racial leader which could be interesting. Of course this all could become ultra lame if Thrall sighs and becomes leader again ... though that would make the Deux-Ex of Garrosh the bad-guy even more transparent.

My only issue with Baine is timeline....he's not been around very long, or at least in a prominent position. Old man Saurfang is an honorable Orc and a total badass. He has credability and strength but well, he's old. Sylvannas has too many skeletons(literally) in her closet....too much distrust. Not a blood elf. Just no.

How could it NOT be Vol'Jin?

Lor'themar's been pretty badass of late. TBH my choice for warchief would have been Nazgrim, except we're gonna kill him next patch, Warlord Zaela is still about though she's siding with Garrosh, I think recalling Nazgrel for Outland is more likely than Saurfang from Northrend, not likely. Eitrigg is joining us in ousting Garrosh. It all rahter murky if you discount Vol'jin as being too obvious.
Personally, I reckon Sylvannas should turn up with a resurrected Dranosh in tow.

I think it's pretty clearly gonna be Vol'Jin ... but we're all theorycrafting about the darkhorse here. Maybe Rexxar will come back to us!! I miss having to find that dude wandering the earth for the keying questline in Vanilla ... talk about content that made the world feel like a world.

So new Warchief aside, no one can actually think of why Garrosh is a douche that ended up going bad crazy turning into a final xpac boss with seemingly little motive?
I mean I thought Blizzard failed with Illidians lore making us kill him as if he was a super villian when he was more of an anti-hero that we honestly could have allied with.
Daddy issues ... it's what makes the majority of super villains. =)
If you're looking for story (at least one you get to explore while playing), this isn't the game for it and never has been. Why should that change now?

I sort of agree with Agg, about Vol'jin, but maybe it will be Vol'jin who installs the new Warchief - and wasn't Vol'jin close with Caine, so I could see Baine; level headed and diplomatic. Surfang the elder would be a good choice but isn't he bit out of sorts as a result of his son's death in WoLK.
That said, I'm putting money on Aggra (or whatever Thrall's life mate's name is) as Regent until their kid becomes of age.

Its an interesting angle for maybe time to fast-forward? I would love to add some grizzled old grey to my druid ... would be pretty awesome to see the wow storyline fast forward a generation at this point. I know they are "sorta" growing up Anduin but still ... they could do a lot with this if they cared to.

It would have made more sense if...I dunno...the Horde took a huge defeat in some big battle and Garrosh felt like he had to "turn to the dark side" to defend the Horde or something. I dunno.
As it is in the storyline, it already seemed like the Horde was meeting with success on all fronts, so a sudden, "Well, better ally myself with some Old God heart and go insane...just because, ya know?" seems really weird.
Weird, and typical for Blizzard.
Story wise, Blizz's big problem is the development of new characters, in quick time period. They only have so much lore to work with before they run out of rounded characters to fill out an evolving story. They are trying to add new blood to make new lore, but it's tough to do it in a game who's life cycle is expansion, 4 patches and expansion - really only 5 story segments to build up a character before they hit next expansion.
They sort of screwed the pooch on character develop in Cata - MoP added new characters - Cata was an expansion that saw Garrosh go from wimp to tyrant but we don't know why; personally, I think Garrosh should have had another expansion to develop. Maybe in Cata he gets his feet wet being a dick, then in MoP he perfects it to the point that in the next expansion he's taken out.
If they were smart about it (and at all focused on it) they could use each patch to progress the story. But story has never and (rightfully) will never be the point of this game ... it's all about the new content and the story is dressing layered on top. I would LOVE for a story-driven MMO but the issue is often times content and story just don't properly align. Take for instance raid bosses (or even world/dungeon bosses). Trying to come up with compelling story for all of them is a daunting, though not impossible task. I do remember vanilla where a non-trivial percentage of the dungeons had lead-up quest lines that introduced the idea of the dungeon and whatnot and maybe the antagonists. Now all you get, at best, is some boss emotes that give you a fragment of context. In the end when push comes to shove blizzard is going to give us more 5 mans and/or raids instead of better detailed content. We want more, faster, and one of the prices of that is of course less detail/relevance/story.

If you're like many Americans, you probably intend to rely on your employer-sponsored retirement plan savings for a significant portion of your retirement income. So when it comes time to make important decisions, such as what to do with the money in your plan when you change jobs or retire, you should be fully aware of your options...
If you're currently investing for your children's college education or are planning to do so in the near future, you may want to consider a state-sponsored prepaid tuition plan. Generally speaking, these plans, which are now available in many states, allow you to pay tomorrow's tuition bills at today's tuition rates. In addition...
As interest rates spiked in the second quarter of this year, many bond investors shifted gears from intermediate and long-term bonds to bonds with shorter maturities. The relationship between interest rates and bond prices is just one of many potential risks associated with bond investing. So why consider bonds?
The loss of critical personnel can be life threatening to small businesses; however, it's a risk that life insurance can often mitigate. In fact, life insurance policies are frequently used in plans aimed at making it possible for a business to survive a change of ownership or the loss of a partner, the chief executive or an employee whose creative talent, technical knowledge or salesmanship drives the business...
The continuously shifting investment climate, the sheer number of investment products to choose from and the emergence of employee-driven retirement savings plans, such as 401(k) plans, have all contributed to the increased need for qualified financial advice. No matter what your level of investment experience or sophistication, you may benefit from developing a relationship with a financial advisor...
In recent years, Americans seeking to capitalize on low interest rates have lined up to refinance their
mortgages--often resulting in significantly lower monthly payments. While it's true that refinancing has
the potential to help reduce the costs associated with borrowing money to own a home, it is not necessarily a strategy that makes sense for every individual...
Managing money in retirement involves decisions about withdrawal rates, asset allocation and a host of other factors that will impact your lifestyle and how long your assets will last. Following are some straightforward answers to commonly asked questions about planning for income needs in retirement.
Business owners who seek financing face a fundamental choice: Should they borrow funds or take in new investment capital? Since debt and equity are accounted for differently, each has a different impact on earnings, cash flow and taxes...
Just about every investor knows, it's not necessarily what your investments earn, but what they earn after taxes that counts. After factoring in federal income and capital gains taxes, the alternative minimum tax, and any applicable state and local taxes, your investment returns in any given year may be reduced by 40% or more.
Most of us know we need to save for our future goals. Buying a home, providing an education for our children and investing for a secure retirement are the most common long-term savings goals. But what about next year's vacation, remodeling or refurbishing your house, or buying a second car?
One estate planning concern that is shared by people from all walks of life is who gets what when you pass on. While some individuals logically may assume that a last will and testament is the only official forum to express such decisions, that is not always the case. Often, an equally important issue is determining who to name as beneficiary on life insurance policies, employer-sponsored retirement plan accounts and IRAs, since beneficiaries of these assets are paid directly as named...
The planning required to send a child to college may seem overwhelming, but parents do not have to do all the work. Getting children involved in college planning may be an excellent way to teach responsibility to young people—a lesson that could reap benefits well beyond their college years.
Diversification is one of the most basic investment concepts. It is used by novice investors and sophisticated portfolio managers alike to help reduce portfolio risk and dampen the negative effects of market volatility. The premise behind diversification is easy to grasp: When you own a range of investments, you may reduce risk by creating the potential for better performers to compensate for poor performers.
Today debt and instant credit are part of our everyday lives. The convenience of instant credit, however, has taken its toll. Many individuals use credit cards to spend more than they earn. Some, who never use credit, can be denied a loan or credit when they have a justifiable use for it. Using credit establishes a history of financial responsibility: Until you establish a credit history, your chances of qualifying for an important loan, such as a mortgage, are greatly reduced.
The greatest benefit of charitable giving is the knowledge that you've made a positive contribution to others. At the same time, charitable giving can also provide tax breaks so long as you are aware of some rules and keep track of what you've donated.
In this world nothing is certain except death and taxes. - Benjamin Franklin. That saying still rings true centuries after the former statesman coined it. Yet, by formulating a tax-efficient investment and distribution strategy, retirees may keep more of their hard-earned assets for themselves and their heirs.
For generations past, retirement represented an extended period of leisure time punctuated by occasional games of golf and bridge. But today, with lengthening life expectancies and dwindling pensions, many Americans are looking to retirement as an opportunity to start a new business.
Paying for a child's or grandchild's college education is an expensive proposition, even for many high-net-worth Americans. Today's elite institutions promise graduates a rewarding future, but at a cost that more often than not extends well into six figures. Enter the 529 plan, a tax-advantaged investment vehicle generally available to families regardless of their income level. For affluent parents and grandparents, a 529 plan offers a variety of potential benefits
More than half of women (53%) surveyed recently are the primary breadwinners in their households, yet only 20% consider themselves "very well prepared" with their financial decision making.1
Nearly one-third of those surveyed said they earn more than their spouse as a direct result of the rocky economy. Among male breadwinners, 45% consider themselves
To remain financially responsible, everyone must pay bills on a regular basis. These bills include mortgages, utilities, car loans and credit cards. Unfortunately, many people do not also heed the oft-quoted advice to pay themselves first.
The reality is that a steady saving and investing plan is sometimes necessary to help pursue such financial goals as paying for a wedding or new car, buying a house and funding retirement. One strategy that can help you develop a
A good legacy may work wonders for those left behind, but you may feel that your heirs need more than just financial benefit from your estate. If you would like to provide direction to your heirs and help ensure that they pursue important life goals, you may consider including incentive trusts in your estate plans.
Over time some asset classes or investments inevitably outperform or underperform others causing your portfolio allocation to shift. This is especially true during times of heightened volatility, like the markets are experiencing today. This shift, also known as "portfolio drift," can significantly increase a portfolio's risk and cause it to become misaligned with its target allocation.

Raleigh is one of the largest cities in North Carolina. It rests within an eight-hour drive of populous municipalities like Charlotte and Baltimore. As a result, many people choose to host birthday parties, weddings, or corporate conferences in Raleigh. This trend has inspired the growth of a dedicated service industry. Local professionals support festive gatherings in a number of different ways.
As the capital city of North Carolina, Raleigh is often selected as a location for government conferences. Also, major colleges surround the city; countless venues serve the needs of local fraternities and sororities. There are appropriate facilities for parties of all sizes. If you are planning an event in Raleigh, the first step is to secure a venue to accommodate your guests. One might put on a smaller party at a local bar, nightclub, or restaurant. These trendy hot spots can be rented for an evening. Also, large conferences are often held at professional event facilities. The size of the event will dictate the appropriate location.

Here's a list of tools you will need to start: Jewelers' pandora jewellery wire cutters - If you can only afford one pair, get memory wire shears. pandora charms These are designed to make clean cuts on tough memory wire, so can also be used for pandora charms uk softer wires.

Along with the hooker, the loose-head and tight-head props make up what is known as the front row, which refers to their position in the scrum.
It takes a special breed of player to be effective in the front row. With the rest of their pack behind them driving forward, the front row is the epicentre of the scrum and the point where the two packs collide, literally head on.
To be successful, both props must be extremely strong in the neck, shoulders, upper body and legs, and they should relish head-to-head competition. England and British Lions tight-head Phil Vickery's taste in tattoos sums up the prop mentality. The 19st 9lb Vickery has oriental writing on one arm that translates roughly as "I will fight you to the death."
While stopping their side of the scrum from moving backwards, the props also support the hooker's body weight, allowing him or her to see and strike the ball when it is put into the scrum. In the lineout, props should be able to support or lift the jumper to prevent the opposition winning the ball.
Away from set pieces, props help to secure the ball when a player has been tackled, so it helps if they can combine their power with a degree of mobility. You'll also often see them used as battering rams in attack, receiving short passes after a ruck or maul and hitting the opposition defence at pace in an attempt to occupy the defenders and make space for their own backs.
Strength, power, bravery, mobility

Jenson Button wasn't at all despondent after missing out on a podium in Singapore, saying it was "good fun" trying to achieve it.
With 10 laps to go in Sunday's night race at the Marina Bay circuit, Button was lapping in third place with Kimi Raikkonen dogging him.
The Lotus driver soon made his move after which Button dropped rather rapidly as his MP4-28 lacked the pace needed to hold his rivals at bay.
"We thought we might have a chance of a podium, but in the end we didn't have the pace to keep us ahead of the closing cars," he said.
"It was good fun trying though, and we have to take risks if we want to get podium finishes this year."
The Brit crossed the line in seventh place, revealing that his tyres had been destroyed in his battle with Raikkonen.
"We expected to spend most of the race on the Option tyre, so we'd set the car up for that.
"The Prime tyre didn't work so well for me, and having to hold Kimi off for so long destroyed my rear tyres and made things very tricky.
"In the end, as I say, we simply didn't have enough pace to stop him overtaking."
He added: "It was a good try though, and a P7 finish isn't too bad.
"We couldn't have done any better with a different strategy, I'm certain of that, and I'm glad we got some good points for the team."
Button's seventh coupled with Sergio Perez's P8 has at least given McLaren a bit of a cushion over Force India in the battle for fifth in the Constructors' Championship as the Woking team is now 14 points ahead.
