More Angels coverage: The Angels have begun discussions on a contract extension for Jered Weaver while new Angel Vernon Wells admits his big contract has been tough to live up to at times.
Video: Vernon Wells excited to be an Angel
ANAHEIM -- They swung and missed at their first targets then were ridiculed for their choice in a fallback option. But Angels owner Arte Moreno doesn't want to hear that his team mishandled this off-season – at least not yet.
"If we win – if we get to the playoffs and get a shot at it (a championship) -- then we managed (the off-season) right," Moreno said after his expensive new outfielder, Vernon Wells, was officially introduced in a press conference at Angel Stadium Wednesday afternoon.
"If we're sitting home in October again, then we didn't get it done."
As Moreno spoke with reporters, season-ticket holders were lining up for their "Select-a-seat" opportunity inside the stadium. Moreno admitted season-ticket renewals are down "a few thousand" and revenue projections for 2011 are lagging "five or six percent" behind last year.
But the Angels owner said the Wells trade addresses the team's offensive and defensive needs – not any perceived need to assuage fans disappointed by the Angels' failure to make a high-impact acquisition before this.
"I've been in business a long time," Moreno said. "And any time you make decisions based on pressure, you make mistakes.
"At the end of the day, you have to get to a point where it makes sense. I can't be in a situation where I say, 'I have to make a deal.'"
The Angels might have been mistaken about what they could accomplish this off-season – a miscalculation that became apparent only after Jayson Werth signed a seven-year, $126-million contract with the Washington Nationals in early December. Moreno admitted "that deal could have blown" the free-agent market to unexpected levels, pricing other players the Angels had interest in (i.e. Carl Crawford and Adrian Beltre) beyond their reach.
"I don't think anyone saw a 'buck-26' coming," Moreno said of Werth's contract. "Were you surprised? I'm certainly in that group."
Moreno said he and GM Tony Reagins had dinner with Crawford in Houston before the Winter Meetings in early December. But when Reagins arrived at the meetings in Orlando, Moreno said the Angels were told by Crawford's representatives that "he's gone." Crawford signed with the Boston Red Sox for $142 million over seven years.
"We didn't make it a secret. We wanted him," Moreno said. "We wanted him. He did a lot of things we liked.
"You start talking $142 million – a guy has to be able to park cars, sell tickets, paint the stadium, to generate that kind of revenue. It's not going to happen."
The Angels got closer to signing Beltre. But, the length of the commitment was the sticking point, Moreno said.

Over the past 10 weeks I have been battling to regain my health after being diagnosed with Leishmaniasis – and as a result, progress with the Sloth Backpack Project has been somewhat slow. This week my luck finally changed, and for the first time in a long time I was able to return to the jungle. As I was searching to locate my tagged sloths, I stumbled across something extraordinary. There was what appeared to be a baby three-fingered sloth, quietly sitting about 5 meters off the ground. He didn't look to be more than 8 months old, yet he was completely alone.
In my second year at the University of Manchester I studied parasitology, and the terrifying images of dramatic lesions and extreme elephantiasis are burnt vividly into my memory. Of course, I never considered that one day I would become one of those horror stories. In July I was diagnosed with a tropical flesh-eating parasite called Leishmaniasis, and for the past 10 weeks I have been battling to regain my health. We never fully appreciate how lucky we are to be healthy, and unfortunately I learnt this lesson the hard way.
This year got off to a great start, with tracking backpacks being deployed on 4 wild sloths during January and February (I introduced these sloths in a previous blog: Burrito, Star, Pancake and Apple/Pie). Unfortunately, we find that far too much research focuses on achieving the largest sample size possible, yet fails to study individual animals for long enough to understand their patterns of behavior. This is particularly important for sloths as everything happens so slowly! It can take an individual up to 30 days to digest one leaf, so you can imagine how much time is needed to document the complete diet of just one sloth. For this reason, I have spent the past 8 months intensely following the 4 sloths that I tagged with backpacks at the start of this year and getting to know their individual habits. This time has also allowed me to perfect the harness design and iron out any faults with the backpack-tagging process. As a result of this, I am excited to announce that we are finally ready to expand the project and there are exciting plans for the next few months.
What does an average day of 'work' involve for a sloth researcher?
This is probably one of the most frequent questions that I get asked, and the truth is, everyday is different! The only consistent feature in my day is an adventure into the jungle to track down my study sloths. I was initially hoping to have a higher number of tagged sloths by now (I currently have four) but I have quickly discovered just how time consuming it can be to properly study each individual!
Sloths are known to spend a significant amount of their time hanging vertically upside down, yet no one has ever discovered how they manage this. If we were to stand on our heads for several hours a day, we would probably end up with a lot of problems. In my latest publication, we solve part of the mystery!
Last month, Sloth Sanctuary founder Judy and I travelled to Texas to visit the sanctuary's sloth ambassadors currently living at the Dallas World Aquarium (DWA). Because three-fingered sloths are so notoriously difficult to maintain in captivity outside of their natural home range, I was interested to see how these sloths have adapted to living in a simulated rainforest environment in downtown Dallas!

So much so that the fire alarm went off. It's connected to the security system. To make a long story short, I was very embarrassed when the fire dept. showed up!!! OMG!! Can you picture it.....neighbors running into the yard, fire trucks coming screaming up, all because of a spilt cake in the oven! I may never bake again

Recently, Governor David Paterson signed into law legislation that will further protect our children from dangerous sexual predators. This new law will be a powerful tool to help law enforcement prevent convicted sex offenders from luring new victims online.
The Electronic Security and Targeting of Online Predators Act (known more commonly as E-STOP) is a result of collaborative efforts between legislative leaders from both sides of the aisle. E-STOP will require convicted sex offenders to register their Internet screen names with the state's Sex Offender Registry and allow social networking sites, such as MySpace and Facebook, to obtain these screen names in order to prohibit those account holders from accessing web sites on which they could contact children. Further, this law prohibits sex offenders on probation, conditional discharge or parole from using the Internet to contact children.
E-STOP took effect immediately and the state's Division of Criminal Justice Services (DCJS) has already begun to send out letters to convicted sex offenders who are in the registry to let them know of the change in law. They will be required to register all e-mail accounts used for the purpose of online chatting, instant messaging or social networking. Offenders will have 10 days to comply when they create a new e-mail address or a new online profile. Failure to do so is a serious offense, and classified as a felony crime.
Last year, my colleagues and I won the legislative battle for the enactment of civil confinement whereby dangerous sexual predators can be kept in secure facilities rather than being released upon the end of their sentence to roam our streets. Unfortunately, our judicial system is still reviewing this law and, in the meantime, these predators are oftentimes allowed to return to neighborhoods where children play. Laws, like E-STOP and Megan's Law, are essential to give law enforcement the resources they need to prevent sex crimes.
We must do everything in our power to assist law enforcement in protecting our loved ones, especially our children. The passage of E-STOP shows how much can be accomplished when partisan politics are put aside, allowing solutions to be discussed, compromises reached and laws created that benefit every New Yorker. We must apply these principles to other problems facing this great state – like excessive property taxes and skyrocketing fuel costs. Together, we can achieve great things.
Should you like to discuss this or any other state-related issue, please contact my district office at (315) 781-2030 or e-mail me at email@example.com.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Main page: Ejaculation#Women
Female ejaculation, also known as gushing or squirting, happens when a woman has an orgasm and clear fluid comes out of her. Scientists are not sure how the fluid is produced, but think it is produced by the Skene's glands (also called the paraurethral glands or female prostate). Female ejaculation was mentioned in ancient times by the Greek philosopher Aristotle (384–322 B.C.),[1] and by doctors and people who study anatomy. However, in much of the 20th century there were people who did not believe that female ejaculation existed, and it was not studied in detail. More people found out about the matter after a book called The G Spot[2] came out in 1982 and became popular. After that, more research was done on female ejaculation.

|My son's closet is only 20" wide. Usually in closets in older homes, I see 1x3's nailed at pole height around the inside of the closet, and then pole hanging cups are screwed to this wood.
If I do this, I'll lose almost 10% of my available hanging width.
What I'm thinking is, to rotozip some of the plaster out, mount the wood directly to studs, feather in the edges with compound, and paint it all the wall color, since the wood would be inserted flush to the walls anyway. Also, instead of screwing the cup hardware to the wood inserts, I'd drill out a hole at each end to recieve the pole. The hole on one end would get a mortised sliding entry ramp at the top, so you'd fit the pole into one end, then angle slide it into the other cupped hole.
Is there a better way, or am I on the right track here?
Follow-Up Postings:
|Have you had the plaster tested for asbestos?
I wouldn't use a rotozip on anything, let alone old plaster. We have one in the tool cabinet in the shop that hasn't been taken out in about 10 years, since we bought it.
Plaster is very strong; much stronger than gypsum board, which is also quite strong. You don't need to find studs if you are using the right anchors.
Use toggle bolts. Fasten the pole sockets directly to the wall. They will only require a 1/2" hole drilled through the plaster. Hilti makes the best toggler's I've ever used. We just recieved 7 cases of 1,000. That will last a couple of months at our rate of use.
We use togglers to hang heavy duty hardward on hollow walls. Never had a problem with several thousand installs. Desk tops, Big screen TV's, even closet pole. We use these things daily.
Your kid will be able to use the closet pole as a chin-up bar; those togglers are so darn strong in plaster.

|Ok I'm sold on the hilti's, thanks! It's a good thing you mentioned the pullups, because until I read that line, I was thinking, forget it, maybe they can take a static load, but we have a bouncy monkey in the equation, and there's no way it can take that. But after reading your full description I'm ready to give it a try.
Also, I forgot when we added a linen closet (long story), ds's closet got sheetrocked, so it's not plaster any more. And no, the linen closet did not steal width, only depth, of which he has plenty to spare. And the sheetrock did not go over plaster (otherwise I'd be taking it out to gain width back.) So anyway, I was picturing plaster and lath in my mind, because that's 99% what I've got in this house, but really it will be sheetrock.
Thank you again, SO MUCH, for the suggestion. I was not looking forward to the mess of cutting into the wall extensively.
(and if any of my old house forum friends are reading, the plaster-to-sheetrock thing happened back in the day when I was a newbie--I know better now :-).

This project got back-burnered for a while as we were squeaking by using a small tension curtain rod (unbelievable it worked, size 5 kids clothes just aren't that heavy). Anyway, ds finally got old enough to realize that my temporary rod was lame, and asked for a real one. So i finally installed the real rod. I had the hilti's all ready to go, and suddenly thought, "wait, what if there's a stud right where I'm going with this". So I checked. And there are studs right where I want to put the pole brackets. Unbelievable.
I've always known about measure twice, cut once. I'd like to add:
Check for studs BEFORE you worry about what you'll do if you don't find one.
to the repository of carpentry wisdom.
But hey, I'm so glad to know about the Hiltis, even if I didn't need them this time. If you're out there aidan_m, THANKS!

Interview question that was hard for me to answer
- 0Aug 18, '13 by mizznurseI had an interview before for a job at a local hospital that I thought was really tough.
"Describe a difficult decision youve made and the process you went through to reach that decision."
What would be your answer?
- 0Aug 19, '13 by llg GuideI agree that your answer can deal with any aspect of your life and not just nursing. Certainly you must have had some difficult choices to make in your life. You life hasn't all be easy, has it?
For example, did you have a tough time deciding where to go to school ... or what to major in ... or whether or not to "follow the crowd" and do rebellious things as a teenage (like drink, smoke, cheat on a test, etc.)? You don't want your answer to reveal things about yourself that are best kept private, so pick something that you are willing to talk about publically -- and a time when the decision you made turned out to be a good one.
To answer the question ... recount the basic situation, the difficult aspect of the choice you had to make, how and why you decided as you did -- and how it all ended with you making a good choice and became stronger in the process.

"A recently renovated (2007) family friendly hotel in a ski…"
A recently renovated (2007) family friendly hotel in a ski in/out location. Situated right beside the children's ski school, nursery slopes, floodlit evening piste, aerial jumps and free tubing run. The hotel has an indoor/outdoor pool (yes, swim out into the snow) and full "wellness" area. Supervised children's club (must be 3 years old) included in the room cost and open from 3pm each day in ski season, includes supervised children's tea. Closest airport Salzburg, hotel will collect from Zell am See railway station. An excellent hotel in a quiet end of a fairly snowsure resort with about 200km of link pistes. Very good children's ski school.Read moreLess

Collateral damage

When Barack Obama and Benjamin Netanyahu sit down for the first time as world leaders today, chatter in and outside the Beltway will revolve around the chess match expected between two savvy political heavyweights.
Behind the scenes, though, a perpetual whisper will become even more pronounced. From anti-Semitic Web sites to left-wing (but mainstream) outlets like DailyKos, the complaint about Israel's "undue influence" on U.S. foreign policy will ramp up if Obama doesn't win on every concession some are expecting him to demand.
Taking the brunt of these loopy allegations, no doubt, will AIPAC, American Israel Public Affairs Committee. No group in the U.S., in fact, is subject to more socially acceptable conspiracy theories. Because no government in the world is more pro-Israel than that of the United States — and AIPAC is the most visible advocate of maintaining that support — tales are constantly circulating about the group's now-legendary prowess.
Professors John Mearsheimer and Stephen Walt made waves when they published an essay on the "Israel lobby" that mystically controls U.S. foreign policy, acting as puppet master to the U.S. Congress. Despite the authors' protestations, the "Israel lobby" really boils down to the strength and effectiveness of AIPAC. Millions of Internet fans swooned, and the pair pulled down an eye-popping $750,000 advance to expand their thesis into a book, which eventually became a New York Times bestseller.
There's no denying that AIPAC is powerful. Yet the reasons not only are not hidden, but rather flaunted. And their efforts are only able to be as effective as they because ordinary Americans support Israel.
This year's annual Policy Conference, which took place last week and clocked in at over 6,000 activists from across the United States, featured the slogan, "Relationships Matter." It is from that simple premise, in fact, that AIPAC has become one of the most formidable outfits in the U.S.
Not only is the secret to AIPAC's success strikingly straight-forward, but it's lifted pretty much wholesale from the corporate world. Businesses that depend on partnering with other companies have entire divisions dedicated to relationships called "business development." Those units — the successful ones, anyway — typically go out in force and build relationships that could yield joint ventures. In short, the more relationships you build and nurture, the stronger your company can grow.

Nolan's shoelace is permanently stuck to my shoelace.
QuinnBefore that, that grunge, Seattle was just another city in our nation's capital.DariaWrong Washington.QuinnYes, grunge was wrong, but you can't blame the whole state.So...today, in P.E., Nolan had the bright idea to tie his shoe to someone elses. I had the bright idea to agree. But, he ties it in a knot. Then we have to sprint back and forth across the gym. So we kind of waddle to the end, and try to untie it. It doesn't work. So then we try again and again and again, etc. Then he has to start gnawing on it. Then, he completely unlaces his shoe, and we have to go to the track. Then, we start to cut it on the fence, and then with a rock. Finally, it breaks, and I have a tiny piece of Nolan's shoelace permanently tied to my shoe. YAY

Toshiba prepping to show an OLED display reference tablet at CES, possibly waterproof
Apart from the thinnest, lightest 10.1" tablet (perhaps a variation of the Toshiba Excite), and an affordable 7" one, Toshiba is said to announce a waterproof slate prototype with OLED display, and wireless charging.
The waterproof claim comes from Toshiba's own announcement, which, however, has been translated by Google Translate, so we hope we are reading "organic EL panel with high brightness thin tablet and display such reference can be powered wireless tablet waterproof" correctly.
The "waterproof" part is mentioned once again in a Japanese newspaper article regarding Toshiba's announcements, so this adds some more water to the rumor mill, no pun intended. The article also mentions that the LED panel is very thin and bright, so let's see what will come out of this announcement come CES next week. Japan is certainly accustomed to thin waterproof phones, as almost all high-ends in the DoCoMo lineup, for example, are impervious to liquids, even the thinnest ones.
Toshiba is no stranger to the OLED technology, and has even shown a flexible display prototype of its own, but this area has been almost entirely engulfed by Samsung in the last two years, especially for mobile devices, so we are as curious as you what Tosh will unveil at CES. After all, the company managed to craft the thinnest and lightest 10-incher out there, so the engineering prowess is certainly there.

"This design was fun to use with the ability to upload 3 images and text boxes were simple to edit. Note: You can add to the ounces (like 9.14 oz.), by changing to 'lbs' & 'oz'. Apparently that can be important to the family! ;) Got rave reviews from those that received the card too!"
"-reasonably priced with the ability to have multiple photos -customer service is great - were able to fix an error in my card after I had submitted the order"
"The photos we had taken of our new baby had a lilac and grey background which perfectly complimented the colours on this card (I chose the grey print). I selected rounded corners and pearl shimmer finish and it was absolutely perfect. I also selected to print 3 pictures on the back side along with a quote- love how it turned out! A beautiful card!!"
"I used this for the birth announcements for my daughter and loved it!! Chic and elegant! All fam and friends had a compliment:)"
"Came out beautifully and have received lots of compliments already. Pictures look beautiful. Asked for a custom change to the back layout and was designed perfectly by the reviewer. Printed and shipped faster than promised."

XFree86 is a pain to get working under VirtualBox (176 comments)
I managed to get 320x240 working on a Red Hat 6.2 VM I tried to stand up for nostalgia. Tried a variety of drivers and kept screwing around with the config but ended up just giving up. I cobbled together a P3 from parts I had laying around and installing it there.
Any hardware that can run Mint x64... (452 comments)

I've heard some of that near verbatim from senior management whenever a new security measure is introduced.
do yo u really think senior mgmt will read a book? (181 comments)
what land is this you live in?
No, seriously upper management has ALWAYS been the bane of anything IT related. Every boneheaded request, every response of "well, why can't I do that?" or "... it would just be easier for me that way..." always comes from senior management and no matter how many times you tell them why it has to be done a certain way, they just don't get it.

I caught a VP of one of my former employers surfing tumblr for pics of women that flash their tits in public and ONLY that. He was very consistent when looking for these pics. I got wind of it when I was given access to our Solera Deep See box right after being brought in. I monitored his activity for a week then checked his past activity and, sure enough, big tits flashed in public. Used a tool to capture his IE history: Big tits flashed in public.
I've seen execs that liked to search for wierd stuff, and they're all usually very specific on what they surf for.
This might be the source of "Roving Bug" tech (352 comments)
Many of you have probably forgotten about this incident that drew attention to the FBI's ability to turn on a phone's features even while it's off. I would assume that the two (baseband processor and "roving bug") are connected.
OCP ED-209 (106 comments)
the ED-209 was the mech that went crazy at the beginning of the movie. The one that looks like it was the model for some of the Mechwarrior mechs.
All for naught if there are no mechs on the street (106 comments)
In 2020, I would expect nothing less than armed Mechs patrolling the streets. Not some American OCP ED-209 garbage either, no, only a sleek and shiny Gundam, Veritech, or some other type of mech will do.
How does it compare to existing SmartWatches? (236 comments)

You change the mac address by either changing the device you're using or spoofing it. The purpose being to be able to access Hulu again.
Exactly what are you getting at here???
get a new router and get a new IP address (234 comments)
or, if your current router supports changing the MAC address do that and get a new IP. It really isn't that hard to get a new IP from your ISP without calling them up.
and they can't use a 2nd/3rd/4th core why? (84 comments)
I don't get it. Using a video card to render without the video card? Since so many machines on the market have 2+ cores, why not write a software renderer that will sit on one of the extra cores?

A computer from 2000 would have trouble with opening the photos in a best of vacation album from a low bend camera for editing (8 megapixels is 22 mb/image).
In 1998, I ran a self built Cyrix 6x86MX PR200 based machine with a mind bending 48MB of RAM. With Win95b installed, I worked on extremely large (for the time) game backgrounds for a small startup company. I had no problems opening up files approaching or greatly exceeding the 8MP size of today's cameras. There was a lot of paging and whatnot, but it was still workable under Photoshop 4.0.
I have in service right now a Dell Optiplex GX200 w/933MHz P3 w/1GB PC800 RDRAM (built in 2000) Running Windows 7-32bit. It handles 9MP pictures nicely. thank you very much.

Recruiters are too lazy to determine whether a person who's last position as "Enterprise Data Architect" where listed skills are scoping, implementing, and managing DB2, MS SQL, and Oracle instances requested by internal clients has the skills necessary for their company's "Database Administrator" position.

please re-read your reply (30 comments)
You contradicted yourself.
I find this interesting... (30 comments)
Google has been revealing (via their own transparency reports) that governments want your searches, email, and whatnot that are stored on their servers. Twitter is telling people that the governments are doing the same. I don't think it'll really hit home until Facebook follows suit. Only then will people really "get it" that the government is mining the details of your online life to do whatever they want with it.
I said this before on here: Big Brother was made "cool" and the public welcomed it with open arms. In this case, FB, Twitter, and anything else on the internet along with your cellphones and now your televisions.
the only thing Microsoft and others can do is... (208 comments)
... delay the inevitable.
Every new security feature they can dream up can and will be bypassed with enough time.All they can do is build it hard enough that it takes more time to crack.

I tried to sign up for a gmail account for use with various *nix message boards maybe a month or two ago and it tried to force me to provide a phone number. There was no Captcha option when I did it. I entered my information and went to the next screen where it demanded a phone number.
I ended up opening a hotmail account instead.
interesting (185 comments)
Can anyone else outside of the US report back on this? Does Google require a phone number in your country?

Jack and the team look for a paparazzo after he vanishes from a celebrity shoot, and his camera is found covered in blood. They learn that the free-lance photographer, Brian Owen (John Pankow - Mad About You), was seriously questioning his profession after a minor celebrity he photographed in a compromising position committed suicide. Upon discovering that Owen has also been taking pictures for a controversial environmental group, Jack and the other investigators try to determine who was most threatened by Brian's shots--an enraged star or an industrialist who causes pollution.

Adept Technology Introduces Cobra(TM) Refurbishing Program
PLEASANTON, Calif., Oct. 9, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Adept Technology, Inc. (Nasdaq:ADEP), a leading provider of intelligent robots and autonomous mobile solutions and services, introduces its Refurbishing Program for popular Cobra™ SCARA robots. With factory-certified, like-new performance and equipment life at a fraction of the cost of a new robot, Adept's Cobra Refurbishing Program offers world-class robots, covered by a one-year parts and service warranty and 24/7 support, while conserving customers' capital equipment budgets. This program extends the life of equipment and helps customers maximize their productivity.
Adept's most popular Cobra robots – the i600, s600, i800 and s800 – are now available as refurbished units for mechanical assembly, material handling, packaging, machine tending, screw driving and other applications.
There are three ways customers can participate in this new program. A customer can send his Cobra robot to Adept, where it is refurbished and sent back. Alternatively, Adept can send a customer a refurbished Cobra robot and later accept his robot as a trade-in. Or an existing customer can purchase a refurbished Cobra robot as a spare. In addition to the one-year parts and service warranty, each refurbished Cobra robot comes with an updated product registration that provides customers access to the latest updates."At Adept, we are committed to making our customers more productive and supporting our products for the long-term. Our new Cobra Refurbishing Program exemplifies those commitments," said John Boutsikaris, Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Adept. "Customers appreciate that they can get like-new Cobra robots using their maintenance or service budgets, which conserves their capital equipment budgets for other projects." During refurbishing, Adept replaces all wear parts and common failure parts. Each refurbished robot undergoes extensive and rigorous performance testing, and is evaluated against new factory specifications to meet the latest Adept assembly standards.

Best Fighting Game for ps3

The voices are a bit cheesy but I am told that's how the series has always been. People who complain about it being a button masher probably aren't very good--there is a lot of depth and timing necessary to beat experienced players and some of the more challenging game modes (tower).
I play a lot of fighting games (Tekken, MK, etc) and this is my first SC game, and it's my favorite fighting game in the past decade. Darth Vader is cool, but there are a ton of fun characters (most of which play differently) and you can basically create an infinite number of your own. Go to youtube and search, some people get really into it and make just about anybody you can imagine.

It's my opinion that we should avoid buying any of these type of "lazy" ports. We don't pay full price for a half arsed game! Send a message to the developers!

Polished combat, lackluster game modes, zero story

Another area where SCIV suffers is in its story mode. The main reason its suffers is because there really is no story mode. The single player experience really consists of six to five matches and a boss fight against a character that is never fully realized. With this said, I know that fighting games are not really known for their deep narratives but what SCIV presents is ridiculous. I would also like to discuss the lack of depth in the character customization. The character customization mode involves applying armor and other clothing collected in other modes to template characters or existing characters in the game; what this really means is mix and matching the in game character's clothing on a generic template model. I just never felt that any character I created was really unique. In conclusion, strong fighting mechanics, lacking modes, and no story. Also there are guys from star wars, for what that's worth.
Not the worst game I ever played But....

While it's visually stunning with the background and erm.. female characters, gameplay is repetitive and somewhat boring. The inclusion of Lucasarts characters makes no sense in the over all scheme of things and just looks like a ploy to lure Star Wars fans as Vadar has no distinguishable skills. I guess fulfilling the prophecy has it's weaknesses!
in conclusion, unless you are really into the series, or have a desire to create characters all day, I wouldn't bother with this game.

For our latest Designer Dispatch, we met with the wonderfully talented shoe designer Ivy Kirzhner. Ivy, who was born in the Philippines and moved to the states at the age of 7, comes from a family of artists, most with a penchant for all-things fashion, so its no wonder Ivy gravitated to her calling at the age of 15. She established her own brand at the tender age of 30 after having hit the ceiling perhaps a little too fast after working at places like Steve Madden, BCBGMAXAZRIA and Herve Leger. Without question, Ivy's shoes have a very distinct look, one that's all her own. She touches upon new silhouettes and has a knack for utilizing the most unexpected materials. Believe that in an Ivy Kirzhner design, you're bound to get noticed. The designer invited SaksPOV to her very charming Soho studio to check out all her collections and to talk design.
Shoe Designer Ivy Kirzhner
SAKSPOV: Was shoe-design always in your purview?
IVY KIRZHNER: I went to the FAME school and after that I did my two–year shoe training at FIT and the rest is history. I have family in fashion. Two of my older sisters are running this cute children's-wear empire, I have an uncle that's a big couturier in Asia and all my aunts are fashionistas – my dad is an architect and engineer – so I've always been surrounded by fashion. I always wanted to do something architectural.

Parodies of the Chariots of Fire theme
A Stock Parody where a character is in a rush to get somewhere on foot and the iconic theme music from Chariots of Fire starts playing. It's become the stock running theme music in general much like the Jeopardy theme song has become stock thinking music, to the point where this music playing in the background while people run is all that many people know about the original film. Often the scene using this trope will start to go in slow-motion when the Chariots theme begins (despite this being rather sparingly used in the original film, more often taking place during scenes in regular speed), and sometimes the character will start to mimic Eric Liddel's long strides, loping gait, and/or head tilt as well. Not surprisingly, Chariots of Fire is the name of this piece of music. The original was written and performed by Vangelis, who also did a lot of the music for Blade Runner. The use of their tune as a parody or as generic running music has become well-known even among those who have never seen Chariots of Fire or even who couldn't identify it by name.

Just how long after DH do you all think it was that the Dementors were removed from Azkaban? And how do you think they went about doing it? Are Dementors destroyed by the Patronus Charm, so does it just banish them away?

Brand New Story!
Banner by lullaby_BANG. Completely awesome avi came from here!
My brand new trailer for Snape Didn't Die by thegirllikeme to serve as a constant source of inspiration whilst I write!
I think most, if not all, of the UK's dementors ended up at Hogwarts during the final battle. So I imagine after Voldy died, the dementors dispersed - even if a few weren't at Hogwarts, I don't think they would've hung around Azkaban when they found out what had happened. I always thought they would sort of wander, on their own or in small groups, draining an area of joy and then moving on. It would be up to the Aurors to...catch them, I suppose? I don't know if dementors can be killed/destroyed. As far as I remember, the Patronus Charm is always described as driving dementors back, not killing them.
I would hope that Dementors wouldn't be used in any capacity by the Ministry after the war, since it's obviously foolish to leave them with criminals, and cruel to use them in lieu of the death penalty. Perhaps there is a way to kill them, but we haven't seen it because it's difficult (plus for the time they were in the Ministry's employ, it would've been wasteful). Maybe they would've kept them rounded up and isolated? It's possible dementors can starve to death. Certainly if they can breed, they should be able to die...
Well, with Kingsley Shacklebolt being the goody-goody Minister for Magic immediately after the Battle of Hogwarts, I suspect in typical Rowlingesque fashion that the Dementors would be gone pretty quickly.Originally Posted by OliveOil_Med
They probably just got rid of the Dementors around Azkaban by shooing them away with Patroni. But as for destroying them?
In HBP, I believe Fudge or Scrimgeour tells the Muggle Prime Minister that the Dementors are 'breeding' - therefore, if they are capable of reproducing, they are capable of at least dying. However, I don't think you'd be able to actually kill a Dementor - they can only be destroyed by 'starving' to death, as in having no happy memories to feast on. So, I guess to kill Dementors, you have to push them around to where you want them with Patronus charms, and just keep them in a spot far away from human happiness, so they will eventually die out.
Tim the Enchanter
I always imagined that without Voldemort they would become aimless, and it would be up tot he Ministry to recapture them or however they deal with them. I think the Ministry would be wary of using them as prison guards now that they know their loyalty can be "bought," in a sense.
I think there would be a way to kill them, we just never encountered it in the books. There is no mention in the books about anything else living forever, and I don't think the dementors, of all the magical creatures, would be the ones with that ability. I agree, maybe they could be starved to death, but I would imagine that would take a very long time.
Maybe instead of killing them, the Ministry could round them up and find another purpose for them.
What other purpose would the Ministry use for soul-sucking bringers of misery and despair? The new Kingsley government would have to be pretty malicious to want to find another use for them.Originally Posted by gene24
Tim the Enchanter
Oh, Molly. Why did you name the thread that? Every time I see it I read it as "Riding the dementors" I'm like, "WOW! How do you ride a Dementor??"
I think possibly, if you put a dementor is a room with a patronus charm, it would eventually kill it?
I think though, the patronus charm might be hard to keep going for that long? It takes a lot of concerntration to cast, so maybe it wouldnt last long enough. I just feel that if you trapped a dementor in a room with a patronus that it couldn't escape from, it would eventually die.
Just my 0.5674 cents

Unbiased Reviews by Real People
Okay Hollywood, the first question that needs to be asked here is: did we really need another King Arthur movie? And if we really did need another one, did we need one that can't rely solely on the Arthurian legends and has to rip-off far better sword epics such as Braveheart and Gladiator as well as modern war movies? Just asking.
I was eager to catch the new King Arthur movie as I've always had an interest of sorts in the Arthurian era and the Middle Ages in general. The film appeared to present something of a darker spin on the Arthurian legends than has been done before. Problem is, it's more of a boring spin than a darker spin and large parts of the 2-hour film are quite dull.
In a sense, I should have known better going in. After all, Jerry Bruckheimer who, despite the success of last years Pirates Of The Caribbean, is responsible for the disgrace that was Pearl Harbor produced Arthur. And Antoine Fuqua, who despite giving us Training Day, offered up last years war movie cliche Tears Of The Sun, handled the direction.
But I was hopeful nonetheless.
In one aspect, my hopes were answered. The battles scenes are fantastic, especially the climactic one, with the swordplay being as good as the sword action in Braveheart and Gladiator. Unfortunately, those battles scenes lead to King Arthur's three big flaws.
Flaw number one is the one that isn't even worth mentioning at this point. However, it's the film's undoing and so it must be discussed. This Arthurian script is loaded end to end with cliches. Let's prepare a checklist shall we:
Villains that always miss and heroes that never do? Check. Heroes that are on the verge of retiring and going to live with their families before they get called on for one last very important mission? Check. Heroes that become disillusioned with the fight and plan to walk away, only to come back at the last minute? Check. Battles in treacherous places (mountains, ice etc)? Check. Villains that look like members of Metallica? Check.
The story itself, while claiming to be a new take on the Arthurian legend, is also a cliche in itself. Arthur (Clive Owen), a soldier for Rome, and his knights are about to be discharged from the Roman army. Before the official discharge however, they must go on one last mission. Journey to a remote outpost and evacuate a family before an army of invading Saxons (headed by Stellan Skaarsgard) can slaughter them. Arthur and his knights (including a vain Lancelot (Ioan Gruffud) and a hulking Bors (Ray Winstone)) make the journey and rescue the family, while also meeting up with Guinevere (the truly hot Keira Knightley). Guinnie isn't a damsel in distress here, she truly kicks butt with the best of them and is a trick shot with a crossbow.
Now that story I just outlined is assembled out of bits and pieces of the Arthurian legend as well as copping elements from many other movies (the aforementioned Braveheart and Gladiator most notably). If someone had tried to sell this as a parody of the Arthurian legends or of sword action movies it might have worked. But this movie takes itself deadly seriously from the get go, which brings us to the next strike against it.
The second flaw is that the film is too gray. There's almost no joy in the film and virtually no humor. Everything has a dank, depressing, overcast feel. The acting, aside from Owen, is wooden all around.
The third and the most egregious of the movie's flaws is this: the filmmakers level of hubris. They start the film off with a teaser claiming that THIS movie is the one that's closest to historical record. But as James Berardinelli noted in his review: "When it comes to Arthur, there is no consensus. Many historians believe he is 100% fictional. Others point to one of several men who might have inspired the legend" The hubris is so galling that you want to whack the filmmakers over the head with your two disc DVD copy of Monty Python And The Holy Grail.
I could go on listing reasons for why you should say "On second thought, let's not go to King Arthur. It is a lousy movie". But I don't need to do that when Braveheart and Excalibur remain available on video/DVD and you can rent them both for about the combined total it would cost for a single ticket to see King Arthur, a rental that would bring infinitely more satisfying results.

This is a truly beautiful quality art glass figurine made in Murano Italy. It is unsigned, and I haven't been able to attribute the piece, but it is certainly by one of the better Murano glassmakers, perhaps Barbini or Seguso. The quality of the glass is excellent on this piece. It is made up of clear and green glass, the clear infused with green, blue and gray colors, as well as with some "aventurine" (gold dust) and with some opaque red glass. The base of the piece has infused green and blue color and has a quasi-wave shape. The fish has large fins that downward, upwards and to the back. The fish has a deep green front with aventurine infused to the back of his body with gray stripes within his fins. The piece measures 14 1/4" in height to the top of the front fin. This is an exceptional piece of glass - beautiful quality and a gorgeous display piece.....please click on any photo in order to enlarge....

A Night With Sea Turtle Hatchling Rescue in Fort Lauderdale
Categories: Broward News, Broward News, Crime, Environment, Politics
On it, you'll see activists attempting to guide some tiny sea turtle hatchlings in the right direction, i.e., toward the ocean. Unfortunately, the little dudes keep heading straight for the lights of Port Everglades, A1A -- or for the bright chandeliers of an empty ballroom at the Yankee Clipper.
There's also footage of an adult female trying to dig a hole to lay her eggs, only to get her head caught in a tangle of beach chairs. The next scene takes place at the hotel's front desk, where at attempt is made to get the keys to unlock the chairs.
At one point, the volunteer, trying to get the babies back in the sea, says, "You're going the wrong way, and you're two feet from the water!" Sadly, life seems to deal the baby turtles a harsh blow right from the beginning -- in clear violation of Fort Lauderdale's lighting ordinance.
If you can watch this without getting choked up, you might be slightly less than human.
Here's the link.

Thank you to everyone that came out to our show. It was our greatest show so far. Everyone that attended has helped us contribute to supporting
"The Rock House Kids."
Rock Valley Mustang Club is the Rockford, Illinois chapter for Mustang enthusiasts and was established in 1982. It is an organization promoting the Mustang automobile and the camaraderie that comes with being in a club. We have annual elected officers comprising our Board of Directors. At the year's end, the officers are elected during the meeting portion of the Christmas Party.
Our Website has been started and you can watch our progress at www.rockvalleymustangclub.org and our newsletter is the Pony Express. The newsletter is an exclusive benefit to being a member. If you miss a meeting and want to know what you missed the newsletter is a great source to stay informed. We are very interested in communication and keeping information available to members and interested guests.
Club activities may include such social events as monthly meetings, picnics/cookouts, road rallies, parades, cruise nights, progressive dinners, car shows, garage-galas, a yearly Christmas party and we certainly enjoy working on the cars. We're always interested in new ideas from our members and willing to explore and expand our activities with the majority vote.
Meeting information:
The club meets every 2nd Tuesday of each month. Unless previously notified of a special location (i.e., Christmas Party location, special events, etc.), the monthly meetings are held at Gerry's Pizza & Italian Restaraunt, located at 7403 Argus Dr, Rockford, IL 61107 . Social hour begins at 6:00 p.m. and everyone is welcome to park their Mustang (weather permitting) in the roped off area of the front parking lot (members supervise the area during the meeting for safety precautions and/or interested bystanders), order food and beverages and chat with members, friends and visitors. The meeting begins at 7:00 p.m. and usually lasts an hour. Minutes from the previous month are read, old business and new business is discussed and an open floor for questions and comments is offered. If it is nice weather we bring our cars and park out front.
Membership information:
Membership to the club is open to anyone with or without mustangs.The club requests that you complete a membership application when you join for general information and bookkeeping purposes. The RVMC membership fee is $25 for a single member or family and is due January 1st.
