Dragon Age 3 could be in the works for Sony and Microsoft's next generation consoles, if details found in an EA developer's CV turn out to be accurate.
According to a statement in the CV of EA Shanghai level designer Tao Gu, the "scope of the DAIII has been chaged, which will target next gen platform and will be postpone [sic] to 2014."
Gu made contributions to Dragon Age 3 earlier this year, according to a Kotaku report.
The site speculates that the 'postponed' release Gu speaks of could be related to alleged rumours of the game having been shifted internally from a fiscal 2013 release (ending March 31, 2013) to a fiscal 2014 - which would fall in line with the late calendar 2013 release that was officially announced.
More intriguing, however, is the game's supposed next-gen destination. No platforms were mentioned in the official announcement, which supports the theory that EA could be targeting unannounced systems.
But the game was confirmed to be built on DICE's Frostbite 2 tech - the same engine which EA has said on record "was built for the next generation" - in the words of EA Games head, Patrick Soderlund.
BioWare promises that the game will combine "the storytelling legacy BioWare is known for, with deep RPG gameplay, all on a brand new RPG game engine underpinned by EA's critically-acclaimed Frostbite 2 technology".
BioWare Edmonton general manager Aaryn Flynn at the time of the announcement, "With Dragon Age 3: Inquisition, we want to give fans what they're asking for - a great story with choices that matter, a massive world to explore, deep customization and combat that is both tactical and visceral."

Nicole Kidman May Replace Sofia Vergara in Lee Daniels's Paperboy
Nicole Kidman is in talks to join The Paperboy, Lee Daniels's next drama. The film follows a reporter and his brother as they investigate a murder case in order to exonerate a man on death row. Kidman would replace Sofia Vergara, who dropped out due to a scheduling conflict with Modern Family, as a lady with a dark mind who writes letters to men on death row, bringing the case to attention of the reporter. Matthew McConaughey and Zac Efron are set to co-star, but the lead role is currently unoccupied, since Tobey Maguire dropped out last week. Paging Andrew Garfield? [HR]

Looking for a calorie burner? Try salsa dancing
BY CHAD HUNTER For Sun-Times Media August 21, 2013 5:01PM
MICHAEL SMART / STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER Dancing to the sound of Latin music, Marilyn Mattei of South Elgin and Antonio Bueno of Elgin move to the rythym of salsa at JJ Finnegan's in West Dundee. Every Saturday night tables are moved and lights are dimmed for Finnegan's patrons to learn and dance to latin flavor.

For some, going to a gym to stay fit isn't their thing. They prefer to burn calories and build muscle with spins, twirls and dance combos. For them, staying fit means salsa dancing.
"Your body is constantly moving, and your heart rate is up. Especially when you dance from slow to fast tempo songs, it can feel like those moments of sprints in your circuit training," says Sol Solis, owner/instructor of Latin Rhythms Academy of Dance & Performance, 210 N. Racine. "Salsa dancing gives you a full body cardio workout ... for all those women out there dancing for hours in their heels, I would also add it gives you a good leg workout as well, (i.e. quads, calves and your gluteus maximus)."
That full cardio workout's not bad at burning calories, either. The average adult burns somewhere between 400 and 480 in an hour of salsa dancing, according to fitnessblender.com.
Maggie Garcia has been salsa dancing two to three times a week for years. "It's for everyone — young, old — those who need to get in shape and those who are in shape," the Chicagoan says. "Have you seen the bodies on professional salsa dancers? They're amazing."
Want to give it a try? Lincoln Park Zoo has two more nights of salsa dancing, Aug. 29 and Sept. 26. Live music, dancing and instruction. And SummerDance Chicago does salsa Aug. 31.
To paraphrase Shakira, hips don't lie about the workout salsa dancing provides.

Hey Bobby
I really love the progression of these characters and watching you narrow down and narrow down to your final designs.
One cool thing that I never really considered before was the proportions of the explorer and the yeti in comparison to each other.
It was only once I saw them together that I even realised the massive difference in scale.
Keep up the good work man. Does this mean you have another short film project in mind?
Would love to see it.

Question about the macro line From the asa to the reg
Posted 27 July 2010 - 03:28 PM
Alright, Now its mostly box 2 to look at, as box 1 doesnt do it much, until its really low on pressure and they swap.
Anyway, when unpressurized, the macro line ends are snug into the ports coming out of the asa and in the 90 degree. Now, when i screw in my 68/45, i can watch the box 2 end shoot out maybe 1-2cm, and you can hear a slight bit of air hissing. Is this due to lose fittings, or is this supposed to happen?
Every now and then while playing, it will seem to stop or get to the point were i can't hear it anymore, but not until I'm either halfway through the tank, or just after i've shot it quite a few times/sit there and play with the hose. Also, if i then just unscrew the tank and screw it back in, it will start again for a bit.
It doesn't seem to really affect total air consumption by much, as i've been able to go through about 1300-1500 Paintballs before needing to get a fill/swap the tank, so I was just wondering whether its supposed to happen or not

You shouldn't have a leak. It may be a bad 90 degree fitting, but you say it happens in your fitting and your Asa? That's...odd. Also, try oiling it up a little as well.

Bah, he shoots a Mini don't listen to him.
This happens all the time to me. It's one of two things:
-A crappy cut on the macroline, it hasn't been cut perfectly flush or it has a small nick or something allowing air to go around it and out of the fitting. Now I've seen some crappily cut macroline that works perfect and I've seen some great looking macroline leak and be replaced and the new line works. It's really hit or miss but for $10 you can get around 5 feet of macroline and it's a good thing to keep in your toolbox.
-A crappy fitting. It's really common on lower budget markers (no offense) for the fittings to have small leaks. Fitting are super cheap, so it's not a big deal. Normally what I find as a temporary fix is to just wiggle the macroline around a little bit while listening. You can normally find a "sweet spot" where the line will stop leaking.
The first thing you should do is make sure your macroline is installed properly. You should be able to push the macroline all the way in with a little bit of force, then try to pull the line out. The collar on the fitting (what your boxes are showing) should pop out a little bit, but the macroline should stay put. Both fittings should do this. To take macroline out just push the collar down and hold it down while pulling the line out.
The easiest thing to do for you is to follow my temporary fix and make an order on macrolineguy.com. Get some new fittings and macroline. You can even match them to you marker!
Prices are:
$1 - Macroline any color
$4 - 90 degree swivel fitting
$8 - Colored 90 degree swivel fitting
$3 - Shipping
So $17 for a couple colored fittings and macroline or $12 for a couple standard silver fittings and macroline.

I mean where the two silver parts are that connected (Somewhat of a newb still with electro's, used to steel-braid)
I think it was mentioned above by name, but i can't find it, but the part of the fitting that goes onto the hose, and then the little....piston thingy that then goes into the fittings on the ASA and the reg. So its Fitting->plunger/pistonthingy-hose. The piston thingy, that seems like its supposed to move because i can move it when its unpressurized, is what moves out a bit under pressure.
And i still might do the above, just to match it as red. Does it require any heavy duty tools other than say..a wrench? Never had to re-line my gun yet, since its still not even fully broken in.
Edit: For clarification if you can't understand that, if you look at box 2, so see some line, then the silver starts, then theres a groove, then the silver continues. Its the first silver thing that goes into the hole of the second silver thing. Sorry bout the terminology, but eh.

You see, it may not be fine. It may be cut badly which is making it look like the "piston thingy" (collar for future reference) is leaking.

This is completely normal, actually if it didn't happen that would be odd. Without pressure you should be able to wiggle the collar back and for and the gap should close and open. Under pressure they should push out.
And i still might do the above, just to match it as red. Does it require any heavy duty tools other than say..a wrench? Never had to re-line my gun yet, since its still not even fully broken in.
You need a wrench, just for a little tightening. Also a little teflon tape or blue loctite. The hardest part would be making sure you don't overtighten it. I'll get into the installation a little more below.
Edit: For clarification if you can't understand that, if you look at box 2, so see some line, then the silver starts, then theres a groove, then the silver continues. Its the first silver thing that goes into the hole of the second silver thing. Sorry bout the terminology, but eh.
I understand.
Ok, so you should still follow my (and everyone elses) advice above. Check to see if the macroline is cut properly (the black tube) because it could be causing the leak. If it's a clean straight cut then your looking at a bad fitting.
Macroline Removal and installation instructions:
Macroline looks and feels like plastic. It has the same standard ID size as steel braided hose, meaning that neither one will offer higher flowing performance
. Macroline is very easy to install correctly, but is also very easy to install incorrectly so you need to be careful when you're cutting your macroline hose to your desired length or you may just screw it up.
When you first get your macroline kit, which can be found here - the first thing you need to do is install the fittings.
Normally you three choices:
* One 90* fitting and one straight fitting
* Two straight fittings
* Two 90* fittings
The only difference between the two kinds of fittings is to make your macroline setup look as good as possible. To install the fittings, my tool of choice would be an adjustable cresent wrench. I use a fully adjustable so you know you can get a good fit on the macroline adapters and you won't scratch them up, as you run the risk of doing if you do the job with pliers or other such tools that require you to put a lot of pressure on the fitting.
Next step to installing a macroline setup is the part where most people fail if they are new to macroline. When you first take the macroline out of the package you will notice that is very smooth on the ends of the hose, both sides. If it has rough edges or is cut unevenly it can leak. So when you are trying to cut your macroline to the desired length I recomend you do two things:
1) Cut the hose about an inch longer than it needs to be(i'll explain why later).
2) Cut it with a very sharp object like a pair of kitchen scissors.
Something I've seen countless people do is try to cut their macroline hose with a steak knife or other similar utensil which is most likely the least effective way to get a good clean cut. What a steak knife will do is just leave a ragged cut since the knife itself has a ragged edge on it. The other part that is bad about cutting a macroline with such a tool is you have to do it with the macroline sitting on some sort of "flat" surface and you cannot always ensure a cut that's right down the center. It can either vary by moving a bit to the left or a bit to the right. Either way is unacceptable, as it will be off a bit and most likely leak.
Now, why make the hose an inch or so longer you ask? Very simple, macroline is not the strongest thing, it can wear away in the fittings and become uneven on one side which will require you to trim your macroline every now and then, and the last thing we want is to have the macroline perfect length, only to need to cut some off making it too short and also making it useless. I have found over my past experiences with macroline, that it tends to wear away more with the usage of pure co2 over anti-siphoned co2 or nitrogen. I think thats pretty obvious why, if liquid co2 touches part of the fitting it can cause it to crack, cracks can mean small, unoticable leaks but leaks nonetheless that will drain your tanks faster than you think. With anti-siphoned co2 and nitrogen you will notice the same wear and tear that you should expect to get, eventually it will wear away at the hose, but thats why you leave the hose an inch longer so you can trim it and still use it for a good long time. And even when it is time to replace the macroline hose, it only costs a dollar per foot, so its not like its going to cost you an arm and a leg.
Another thing that people who are new to macroline can get confused over is how to uninstall the hose itself from the fittings. This is a very simple process. All you need to do is pull out on the ring on the top of the macroline fitting when you pull out the hose. So in other words, you pull out the hose, and you will notice a ring that looks like its trying to come out but is stuck, while you keep pulling on the hose, all you do is push down on the ring, and it will release the hose from the fitting. Look at the side of the fitting that is pointing upward, you can see the ring that needs to be pushed down Here is a pic of the straight elbow, casually look at the top portion of the elbow and you will notice the same design, all you do is push down on the ring and pull the hose out at the same time with this fitting as well and the hose will come free.
So there you have it, all the wonders of macroline are revealed, hope this helped!
That's taken from a different site. In summary:
-Push the collar in (so that gap is gone) and hold it in while pulling out the macroline, remove both sides.
-Remove macroline fittings with the proper size hex wrench (lefty loosey righty tighty).
-Reinstall new fittings, wrap a small piece of teflon tape around the threaded end or use blue loctite, screw it in hand tight then give it another 1/2-3/4 turn with the proper wrench.
-Cut macroline, make sure it's a nice clean cut.
-Push macroline firmly into the hole on the fittings.
With your Proto you will notice that once you remove the macroline, you will be able to spin the fitting and part of the regulator that it's attached to. This is normal, but when you reinstall macroline fitting make sure that it still spins around. If it doesn't spin you screwed the fitting in too much.
Feel free to ask any more questions.

Also the macroline can get grooves in it that will also cause it to leak.

Anyway, the current status is now at: I WILL order the new line and fittings, will replace, and will then update from there.
As to scphantom, how exactly would i go about removing the collar with pliers, seems to be set in there pretty well? I may only try that as a last resort, but it's handy to know all my options.

Sadly, i could not use macrolineguy as he runs through paypal and the credit card/account have been completely locked until...august 27 of next year. SO i had to go and spend an extra $5 and order my stuff through Ninja Paintball.
Straight and 90* flat black fittings, 3 feet of line (used about 7 inches, bad cut on my part first, rest is spare).
Works like a charm, no leak anymore, actually noticed an increase in efficiency as i used to be able to shoot about 40 balls and see a change in the needle on my tank, tested the same theory and saw no movement at all on the pressure gauge.
AND, i used neither loc-tite nor ptfe tape. As a quick word of advice from the newer generation, if you are in a bind and need to secure threading easily and damn well, use nail-polish. Yes, it sounds rather odd, but it works wonders, and comes in a variety of colors to choose from! (No I am not gay, my sister just leaves it lay around everywhere, so I happen to have hot pink nail polish as a thread sealant, not gonna lie it looks pretty neat)

After sweeping two on Friday, the No. 3 ranked Lee University baseball team split a pair of games on the second day of the Tennessee Valley Invitational at Olympic Field Saturday.
The Flames (7-1) tasted defeat for the first time in the 2013 season to Madonna University (Mich.) by a 4-3 margin. Lee recovered to take down the University of Rio Grande (Ohio), 9-0, in the nightcap.
On Friday, Lee flexed its offensive muscles, banging out six home runs in big wins over Bluefield (Va.) and Georgetown (Ky.) colleges.
Lee will travel to defending NAIA national champion Tennessee Wesleyan on Tuesday for a single nine-inning game that is scheduled for a 2 p.m. start. The Bulldogs are ranked No.1 in the preseason poll but dropped their first three games this season before bouncing back with a pair of wins Saturday to even their record at 3-3.
Corey Davis and Brady Renner each blasted home runs to lead the Lee offense that scored nine runs on nine hits. Davis put Lee on the board with a solo shot in the first inning and Renner's was a two-run shot in the second inning.
Karsten Strieby collected two hits and an RBI, while Roberto Duran joined him as the only Flames tally more than one hit. Duran added three RBI in the win.
Jose Samayoa gave up just one hit and fanned one batter in three innings on the mound to pick up his second win of the season.
CJ Lusted, Jeremy Bales and Ryan Zimmer combined to allow two hits over the final four innings to preserve the shutout. Lusted walked three and struck out one, while Zimmer sat one batter down on strikes.
"I thought we responded well in game two," said Lee head coach Mark Brew. "We were able to get several big innings early and our pitching was once again excellent. We will have little time to regroup as we travel to Tennessee Wesleyan on Tuesday for a rivalry game. Overall, we will have to play much better then."
No. 24 Madonna scored three unearned runs in the second inning to take a 4-1 lead and held off a Lee comeback attempt in the seventh to record the 4-3 upset win.
Chris Avey led off the inning and reached base after being hit by a pitch. Following two quick outs, Corey Davis singled and Derrick Pitts loaded the bases with a hit by pitch. Danny Canela delivered a pinch hit RBI single and Strieby pulled Lee to within one run with an RBI walk. That would be the end of the comeback attempt as Madonna was able to induce a groundout to end the game.
Lee recorded nine hits with Mark Silva, Jordan Stewart and Strieby had two safeties each with Strieby ripping a double.
Clint Terry (1-1) was charged with the loss after giving up four runs (one earned) and four hits in two innings of work. Terry walked one and struck out one.
Jeremy Stawychny struck out five, walked one and gave up four hits in 3 2/3 innings of relief and Keegan Yuhl recorded 1 1/3 innings of no-hit ball to keep the Flames within striking distance.
"I was a little disappointed with the way we performed early in the game," Brew said. "Give Madonna's pitcher credit. He did a good job keeping us off balance. I thought we showed some character in our response in the seventh inning, but when you give away so many outs early and dig a hole on the scoreboard, sometimes you can't overcome it."
Jeremy Gooding scattered seven hits over six innings in picking up the win for the Crusaders. He gave up one earned run, walked one and struck out seven.
Randall Stempek was credited with the save after putting the lid on Lee's seventh inning comeback.
Senior Roberto Duran was the hitting star and three Lee hurlers allowed the Kentucky team only four hits in the seven inning contest. In fact, a pair of Flames accounted for four of Lee's six runs. In the second inning Karsten Strieby tallied on Duran's first long ball of the season. It was the same old story in the sixth when Strieby came home after Duran's blast cleared the left-field wall.
Lee was only able to garner four hits off three Georgetown pitchers. In the third inning the margin grew to 4-0 when Danny Canela walked. Trevor Burgress came in to pinch run and later tallied on a wild pitch. Corey Davis doubled and scored when Streiby reached on an error. Brady Renner had the other hit for the Flames.
Myles Smith picked up his second win of the year after working 4 1/3 innings. The righthander allowed three hits and one earned run. He walked one and fanned six. Alex Moore toed the rubber for the next 1 2/3 innings. He gave up one hit, struckout two and issued one free pass. Andy Hillis sealed the deal in the seventh. He did not allow a hit, walking one and fanning one Tiger hitter.
Georgetown collected a double from Marvin Flores. Justin Moore, Mike Steinke and Jordan Hinshaw singled.
Lee opened the Tennessee Valley Invitational by banging out 19 hits, including seven extra-base knocks, in breezing past Bluefield College, 23-2.
Danny Canela, Corey Davis, Chris Avey and Jordan Stewart blasted three-run homers to set the pace. Canela, who also stroked a double, was 3-for-3. He scored four times and drove home five. Brandon Rader ripped a triple and single. He collected three RBI and scored once.

text: Mercedes engines cause Pirelli tyres to wear out quickly 9 August, 2012 Aug.9 (GMM) McLaren, Mercedes and Force India are all struggling with excessive tyre wear this year and according to Auto Motor und Sport, the likely culprit is the trio's common engine supplier. "Lotus, Red Bull and Ferrari can make a set of tyres last longer than we can," said McLaren's Lewis Hamilton. AM&S said that one theory doing the rounds is that the superior mid-range power of Mercedes' V8 engine is wearing the rear Pirelli tyres too much. "On the way out of corners, we are able to keep up," said Sauber's Sergio Perez. "But then there comes a phase when the Force India can pull away, so long as their tyres are fresh." Mercedes' team boss Ross Brawn acknowledged that the "characteristic of the engine has a large influence on the degradation of the tyres". AM&S said that Mercedes has "recognised the problem" and is working hard to improve its engine torque maps. Subbed by AJN. Tweet Disgusted with 2012 Interesting. Red Bull fiddles with the throttle map to trim mid range power, conserving tires by reducing wheel slip at corner exit, and we see the FIA jump to attention to fix the rules to preclude any further use of such tom foolery. While there may have been a small change in aero from exhaust blowing, the Mercedes admission reveals that it may be possible that this was not the prime motivation with Red Bull at all, since the aero effect is minuscule compared to traction effects and the related tire wear result. Now, Mercedes fiddles with the maps to trim mid-range power to reduce wheels slip and conserve tires… no problem? So, if Renault changes its maps to duplicate the Red Bull setup… still no problem? Chris The teams using the Mercedes engine can alter the Maps and now we will see what they come up with If they did any thing illegal then we will see what FIA do Bionor @ "Disgusted": You got it wrong. All the teams may change their maps as long as it complies with the rules. What Red Bull did wrong was that they violated a rule saying that the increase in torque must be parralell to the input from the driver. It is possible to make the adjustments they (Mercedes) are talking about without violating this rule. seb just change the goddam tires. bring back bridgestone and michelin. slicks sucks. grooved tires are the best! McLaren Fan @ Disgusted with 2012 (MARKO) What is wrong with you do you not read English. We know the rules and the modification to the rule. they are not saying they will cheat or push the envelope they said they are looking to edit the map. DOH ? @seb I disagree with that, I would prefer Slicks. Though you might be right about Michelin and Bridgestone. McLaren Fan @seb, Slicks have always been better than grooved with the exception of this year. a tyre war on slicks would be awesome but the FIA would find a way to damage that. Now 1 set of slicks that can last the whole race distance that gives good lap time unless damaged, and no benefit to changing tyres that would make it sweet so if your tyre is wrecked you lose pit time but no extra speed from the new treads! but lets face it the FIA will bin the idea

El presidente flew nine hours today (at a cost of $1.6 million to the American taxpayers) to reject the key compromise at the heart of a bipartisan deal on immigration reform announced by eight Senators yesterday. In yet another speech in Las Vegas, O will outline his own immigration ideas, which oppose linking a "path to citizenship" for illegal immigrants to stronger law enforcement and better border security.
This, of course, is tantamount to pardoning criminals who continue to break into your home, while failing to install deadbolts and a security system – or, as I like to call it, "Liberal Logic 101."
Let's simplify the whole immigration "reform" thing right off the bat before we rake the disingenuous el presidente over the coals. Given the reality of the number of illegal – yes, illegal – as opposed to "undocumented" – aliens living in America today, true immigration reform must address three issues in order to be effective:
1. The so-called "pathway to citizenship" for illegals currently in the country – given that they meet certain criteria, including coming forward, paying a fine and back taxes.
2. What to do about those who refuse to come forward.
3. Border security.
While most everyone who is serious about immigration reform agrees with all three objectives, the problem lies with the order in which various camps believe they should be implemented. O and the Democrats – while giving lip service to 2 and 3, are most interested in 1.
Most conservatives, on the other hand, believe that border security must be first and foremost – or 1 and 2 amount to little more than a continued invitation to jump the fence. (or, crawl under or through it, as the case may be.)
Call me a bigot, but what good does it do to continually pardon the burglars if you refuse to beef up the security system in your home?
While O will argue that the Regime has enforced current immigration legislation, and that additional security will create even more obstacles to legalizing the roughly 12 million illegal aliens thought to be living in the U.S., this is preposterous.
Starting last year, the Regime defiantly declined to enforce existing federal law regarding the so-called "Dreamers" – immigrants brought illegally to the U.S. as children. While O's election-year pandering drew praise from Hispanic groups, it brought criticism from those who objected to el presidente's clear circumvention of Congress and existing federal legislation.
So, today's "O Show" will most likely be yet another performance by a megalomaniac who behaves as if he carried all 50 states and was reelected by 20 points. Makes no difference that "the gang of eight" agreed on a citizenship-for-security compromise; el presidente, will most likely attack Congressional Republicans who largely oppose a new amnesty for illegal immigrants program.
Knowing O (how do you say "king" in Spanish?), I wouldn't be surprised if he gets around to suggesting Republicans are racist again.

Like Clevelanders, residents of Seattle had every reason to look askance on funding yet another gold-plated sports facility, given the costly, mediocre venue that the Kingdome turned out to be. Safeco Field cost over a half billion dollars to build, one of the most expensive stadiums ever. Nevertheless, it has earned the reputation of being one of the better of the neoclassical stadiums, and it may be the best of the ones with retractable roofs. Built just as the Mariners were achieving top-rank status for the first time, Safeco Field has been filled to capacity on many occasions, and is wildly popular. Shielding the game from the frequent Northwest rains, yet affording a wonderful view of the "the bluest skies you've ever seen" on good days -- and sometimes Mount Rainier itself -- it is a perfect match of aesthetics, tradition, and modern conveniences.
Safeco Field is located just south of the Seahawks' new football stadium, on the same site that the Kingdome used to be. The telescoping roof sections are tucked above the east (right field) side of the stadium when it is open. (The gray line on the diagram above indicates the edge of the roof when it is fully retracted.) Immediately in back of that side are the train tracks, and blaring train horns are often heard during games.
The outfield walls do have a few interesting angles, but overall there is less asymmetry here than in other recent stadiums. The power alleys are slightly deeper than average, but otherwise not much distinguishes the playing field itself. Foul territory is average size. The seating areas include two elevated bleacher sections, one perched above the bullpens behind the left field fence and one looming above center field, situated at a skewed angle. In addition to the huge retractable roof, there is a mini-roof providing shade for the upper deck. It might seem superfluous, but in fact serves a useful purpose, since it is seldom very cloudy in the Northwest for most of the summer. The glass back side behind the uppermost row keeps the fan noise focused toward the field, accentuating the home field advantage.
Ironically, the Mariners let go of some of their biggest stars at about the same time they moved into their new home: Randy Johnson, Alex Rodriguez, and Ken Griffey Jr. It was amazing that the Mariners remained competitive in the early 2000s, and this was thanks to players like Bret Boone and Edgar Martinez, who have since retired. In recent years, megastar Ichiro Suzuki led the team's pursuit of the American League West crown, but he was traded to the Yankees in 2012. The Mariners have yet to attain another postseason berth.
Safeco Field hosted the first Seattle Bowl (formerly the Oahu Bowl), held on December 27, 2001, when Georgia Tech beat Stanford. (The second Seattle Bowl was held a year later in brand-new Seahawks Stadium, and then it apparently folded.) Together with AT&T Park and Chase Field, that makes three neoclassical-retro stadiums that have hosted football games. Weird! Another anomaly: On June 24-26, 2011 the Mariners were scheduled to host the Marlins in an interleague series, but the games were displaced by a U2 concert at Sun Life Stadium, so they played in Safeco Field instead, with the Mariners as the "visiting" team.

@Kishy, I noticed it too. First Shahrukh Khan was leading by a huge margin.. he had something like 20,000 votes and others had 1,500. Then Hrithik Roshan was leading by a big distance. Then suddenly Hrithik didn't get any votes while Salman, SRK and even Emraan votes were doubled..
Strange. Votes are manipulated big time.

If you still think that SRK is the king of Bollywood, then you are a fool. Today, SRK has many competitors like Aamir, Salman, Akshay, Ajay and Hrithik even Ranbir, Emraan, Saif are giving neck to neck competition to SRK. SRK is struggling to deliver a blockbuster since 2008. SRK's RA-One which was made under 125 Crore and earns 115 Cr. at Indian box office gets 'hit' status while Khiladi 786, made under 45 Cr. and earns 70 crore is given 'average' verdict. SRK, your time is up.

Shame about foodSubmitted by: Sharon in 05/06/06

We stayed at this hotel for a 2 night stay Fri & Sat. There was a wedding on so it was rather busy but we were told this when we booked and when we checked in. The hotel itself is beautiful and very scenic settings. The food is another matter!! We were on a deal which included dinner and to our amazement were offered the same tdh menu both nights!! We did not enjoy the menu the 1st night and to be faced with exactly the same again on the 2nd. Also whoever wrote the menu should check the spelling 'tart tat in'should read Tarte Tatin!! The menu seemed to consist of a few meat dishes and 1 fish dish!! Not a very adventurous head chef!! The head chef was pointed out to us walking over to the wedding with his trousers that low you could have parked a bike between his butt!! Very off putting and to be honest very scruffy!! but credit to the hotel everybody else was so helpful and friendly

The Balloon Council Applauds Congress For Recognizing Urgency To Address Impending Helium Market Instability
WASHINGTON, Feb. 14, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Balloon Council, a national trade organization of balloon manufacturers, wholesalers, distributors and retailers, applauded Congress for making progress toward preventing a shutdown of the Federal Helium Reserve, which would severely impact the helium market and disrupt the helium supply chain nationwide. The Balloon Council released its statement at the House Natural Resources Committee Oversight Hearing held today on "The Past, Present and Future of the Federal Helium Program" and a Legislative Hearing on H.R. 527, the Responsible Helium Administration and Stewardship Act.
"The Balloon Council supports Congress and the House Natural Resources Committee for recognizing the seriousness and urgency to maintain uninterrupted and stable access to the helium supply in the face of an impending shutdown of the Federal Helium Reserve mandated by current law," said Noah Lichtman, spokesman for the Balloon Council.
"A stable helium supply is critical to several important industries in the United States, including the balloon industry which accounts for more than 100,000 jobs from balloon manufacturers, distributors and retailers. Congress is demonstrating a commitment to address these issues in order to develop legislation that recognizes the value of each industry impacted by the helium market," continued Lichtman."It is particularly significant to have held this hearing on Valentine's Day – the day with the highest balloon sales annually. Retailers across the United States have lost significant business this Valentine's Day due to the current helium shortage. The severe economic loss felt this year to the 100,000 Americans who work in the balloon industry would be repeated to a greater extreme in the absence of congressional action to continue the federal government's operation of the reserve to ensure stability and predictability in the helium market," said Lichtman.

Brentwood Residence Interiors by MLK Studio
MLK Studio designed the interior for the Brentwood residence and guesthouse in collaboration with Belzberg Architects who designed the home in Los Angeles, California.
Description from MLK Studio:
The commission was to create a complete interior design scheme for a 10,000 square foot modern main residence as well as a 2,000 square foot guesthouse. In addition to the interiors, Meg Joannides of MLK Studio was hired to design all 10 bathrooms as well as the main kitchen and guesthouse kitchen, in collaboration with Boffi. Much of the furniture was custom designed by MLK Studio and fabricated at the firm's trusted local Los Angeles workshops. Briefed thoroughly by the client, MLK Studio worked with a neutral palette throughout the house, skillfully mixing textures to create the depth and layers that are apparent in the sophisticated design.
All materials that were specified by MLK Studio were thoughtfully selected to harmonize with the architect's vision for the building. Walnut hardwood flooring throughout, as well as bluestone counter tops coordinate with the architect's stacked bluestone walls. The kitchen's palette of calacatta marble and high gloss cabinetry, as well as the master bathroom's Turkish limestone walls and flooring underscore the client's desire for a neutral palette.
MLK Studio became involved in the design development stage, collaborating with the architect, Hagy Belzberg of Belzberg Architects. Lasting approximately 3 years, MLK Studio's involvement in the Brentwood project also included attendance at weekly site meetings during construction, as well as meetings with all consultants such as the architect, landscape architect, and lighting design firm.

Too muck! Huge house that's too busy with furniture and various furnishing styles, and I dislike the shelves along the windows.

All the hard work. Three years, tons of money. And when the photographer comes over, the long fixture over the dining table isn't level. Ha!

I think Oprah built this same house in Africa to educate 40 African girls

Having visited this house I can attest to the high quality of detailing, fit & finish and workmanship in general. A fine example of building, to be admired. The architecture is appropriate and in tune with the neighborhood. The project must have provided employment for many fine craftsmen. Dobkin Construction is to be congratulated.

It's not often you see pure gall, complete obliviousness, and terrible, terrible judgement all on display in one place at one time. Another example of Newfie "World Class" achievement.

How much power did we use from Corner Brook Pulp and Paper during the black out? How much did it cost the people of the province? Is government still going to lend/subsidise CBPP with the $120 million that was in the budget, which was also being kept a secret from the people, due to extra boost from Nalcor/Us during the Blackout? I don't think there's answers to these questions! Is there?

Recently a 1970 Ch. Giscours was excellent, as was a 1970 Lynch Bages
several months ago. If you find a 1970 2nd-5th growth Bourdeaux at a fair
price try it. My 1970s are tasting much better than the wine press states.
Of course, how you cellar & how you control ullage makes a lot of
difference. I find if you decant old Bordeaux into a decanter, and let it
rest for 12-24 hours the wine tastes better. It tastes better on the second
