Kick-Ass 2 2013
It's not too good. I kind of enjoyed Carrey's performance, and Clark Duke's presence. There were a small number of stylistic bits that were interesting, but it was mostly a pale attempt at a follow-up to the first one, which I liked quite a bit.

New The Devil Wears Prada Video
very crank yankers
This was new over a week ago.
Really good song though, this album is super underrated. Nobody seems to talk about it anymore but I still jam it all the time.
Best TDWP album for sure, but it had nothing really new to offer, that's why Also Hranica's screams
Digging: Nightwish - Once
best TDWP album [2]
haha oh man
still jamming Plagues in your car, Treb?
a few weeks ago yeah
Hranica's high screams are so bad on this album. The majority of 8:18 is solid work but every time he hits those highs I cringe...
His highs have pretty much sounded like that ever since WRAABB :/
I remember when I used to be super into these guys. they aren't bad though
Best band evah
I remember when hranica was one of the absolute best in the genre. I still like his scream for uniqueness but it is sometimes grating for sure.
i dont really like it
One of the last truly good "metalcore" acts although it's the juns they brought in Plagues that kinda perverted my favorite genre. Pun entirely intentional.
Digging: Cursive - The Ugly Organ
Pradas best album, but that isn't saying much
Best song off the album. Band sucks. Zombie EP was dope.
Best TWDP album [3]
*states opinions about band/past albums/maybe song* *leaves*
I still can't make up my mind on which album is their best. Dead Throne was very solid but the production was so high that it made the album sound very simple. With Roots... Had very high production but it had to be because the whole album was an experimentation album, combining their insane synthesizer sound with a more mechanical instrumentation, they needed a very high production to pull it off. As in Dead Throne, they stripped most of the random synths and tried to aim for the most metalcore album as possible. 8:18 was a huge success with using the perfect production quality. Everything flows so well and synths and production plays hand and hand to make a really gloomy and delightful album.
@weedblunt You've got the formula to sputnik figured out.
this sucks. their past albums suck. this band in general sucks. *leaves*
This album was decent for me but I really really enjoyed Dead Throne more. Personally, I think Zombie EP was their best work which is a shame that they didn't make it a whole album. That EP fucking slays. This video coming up though does make me want to try it again. Haven't given it a spin in about a 6 months or so...maybe it'll be better with a fresh listen.

In recent weeks, I have been seeing alarms raised by faithful Catholics over controversy in the Church. Most recently the Catholic news outlets have been reporting that Cardinal Walter Kasper gave a speech on the family in February to the consistory called by Pope Francis.

Men's Wearhouse earnings dip in second fiscal quarter
- Shaina Zucker
- Reporter- Houston Business Journal
- Email | Twitter | Google+
Houston-based Men's Wearhouse Inc. (NYSE: MW) experienced a 27.7 percent year-over-year decline in net income to $42.9 million during the second fiscal quarter due to lowered sales and a steep industry climate, the company reports.
In the three months ended Aug. 3, the company brought in $647.3 million in sales, down about 2 percent from the same period last year at $662.3 million.
"Retail clothing sales during the second quarter were below our internal plan as we experienced a decline in customer traffic compared to last year's second quarter," Doug Ewert, Men's Wearhouse president and CEO, said in a Wednesday statement. "We believe this is primarily due to macro issues affecting the apparel retailing space."
In July, the clothing retailer struck a deal to buy the parent company of clothing brand Joseph Abboud for $97.5 million in cash.
And in June, the company sacked its longtime front man, George Zimmer, after disagreements over such issues as whether to take the company private by selling it to an investor group.
Men's Wearhouse, the 47th-largest Houston public company last year, collected $2.5 billion in revenue in 2012, up 4.4 percent from the previous year, and it took home $130 million in net income. The bulk of the company's operations are in Fremont, Calif.

Should synthetic highs be legal?
Relevant offers
Teenager Anesha Stratton wakes up at least three times a night to smoke synthetic cannabis.
The Blenheim 19-year-old will be admitted to a detox centre in Christchurch next Friday, Valentine's Day, after realising that she can't give up legal highs on her own.
Fairfax Media understands she will be the fifth patient at the Kennedy Detox Unit at Hillmorton Hospital to be treated for synthetic cannabis addiction.
Stratton smoked legal highs for less than a year before the habit got out of control in September while she was living in Nelson.
"I'd wake up during the night with hot and cold sweats," she said. "I had to have another smoke so I could stop feeling sick."
She wasn't hungry when she was sober but ate when she was high, causing her to vomit every morning when she woke up.
She used her benefit money, about $210 a week, to pay her board. The rest went on AK47, a type of synthetic cannabis that has since been taken off the market.
At her worst, Stratton smoked 3 grams a day which cost $20 and gave her up to 50 hits using a bong, she said.
"The initial high only lasts 10 minutes, so you'd just sit around all day and continually smoke it."
She lost motivation for anything other than getting money to fund her habit and her weight dropped from 55 kilograms to 48kg.
By October, she was behind in her rent and was kicked out of the boarding house.
She didn't tell anyone about her addiction because she was ashamed, Stratton said.
Her mother, Tracie Stratton, moved to Australia in August and didn't realise the extent of her daughter's addiction until she visited her in Queensland in November.
She knew her daughter smoked legal highs occasionally but wasn't too concerned because they were legal, she said.
But after a withdrawal episode at a mall in Australia that lasted 40 minutes she knew she had to move back to Blenheim to get her daughter help.
"She was rocking back and forth, just crying and rocking," she said. "She was really messed up."
She wanted synthetic highs banned after seeing what they did to her daughter.
"She used to have a glitter, a sparkle in her eye. She was a beautiful looking girl," she said. "Now she's got dark circles under her eyes. I hear her in the morning vomiting and retching and there's nothing I can do."
In January, her daughter saw a drug and alcohol addiction counsellor in Blenheim and was referred to the detox unit in Christchurch.
Stratton wanted to stop smoking synthetic cannabis to get her life back, she said.
"When you're smoking it dulls your senses, but when you're sober, these overwhelming emotions hit you. Now I don't smoke it for the high, I smoke it to stop feeling sick."
She hoped the Government would change the law and make synthetic cannabis illegal.
"I'm begging everyone to take it off the market, so I can be safe and so no-one else goes through this."
She encouraged anyone addicted to synthetic highs to seek help.
"People think it's in your head, they think because you can buy it in a shop you must be making it up. It zombifies you."

OPINION: She was a mum-of-three who went out one night and never came back.
Now, almost a decade after she was last seen, Sara Niethe's killer, former boyfriend Mark Pakenham, has pleaded guilty to her manslaughter after originally being charged with her murder.
Sara lived in the tiny Hauraki Plains town of Kerepehi, only a few minutes from where I was stationed as a reporter in Paeroa at the Hauraki Herald community paper back in 2003.
The police effort at the time was huge. Kilometres of rural roadsides were searched, swampy rivers were scoured, all for any tiny clue of what might have happened. Apart from some CCTV footage of her in a Ngatea service station, nothing came up.
The trail quickly went cold.
Over the years there were television appeals via Police Ten-7 and even psychic crime show Sensing Murder had a go at solving the mystery.
On each anniversary of her disappearance, media would catch up with Sara's mum, Eileen Marbeck, a lovely Englishwoman who had to raise her grandchildren and somehow try to explain to them what had happened.
I would often see her outside my office, bringing the children to town for lunch or to go shopping. The mysterious disappearance weighed heavily on her and you could see how much it had affected her.
The last person to have seen Sara alive was her former boyfriend, Pakenham.
Police had to wait almost eight years after the disappearance before they could press any charges against him.
Credit must be given to two senior police officers, Detective Sergeant Glenn Dunbier, of Waihi CIB, and now Bay of Plenty Superintendent Glenn Tinsley, who never gave up on the case.
Solving this crime must also give victims left behind in other "cold cases" some hope. After so long it is almost hard to comprehend someone has been caught and held to justice.
The next step is for Pakenham to let police know where Sara's body is.
He owes it to Eileen and her grandchildren.
It's the very least he could do now for putting so many people through a decade of pain.

Civil engineering track to be discontinued (browndailyherald.com)

It's all good and fine to have intra-faculty rivalries, but the constant (and typically vapid) ragging on civil engineers is pretty annoying. (And I'm not a CE. I'm just an ME who's heard the shitty "weapons/targets" joke too many times.)
Plenty of of civil engineers do fascinating research and participate in jaw-dropping engineering design. So I think it's noteworthy when a university like Brown decides that they no longer want to engage in civil engineering research. What does the move say about the profession? What does it mean for civil engineering research at other universities with similar overall research interests? Are traditional definitions of different engineering pursuits outdated?
There's a really substantive discussion that could be had here.
[–]straighttoplaid 3 points4 points5 points 2 years ago (1 child)
It's not really surprising that they didn't want to engage in CE resarch when they don't have any CE students. Enrollment is down into the single digits, it's very hard (and expensive) to maintain a good program for so few.

That's true. It's just an interesting shift, is all.

The conflict between increasing human population and biodiversity conservation is one of the IUCN's key threatening processes.

Windows Server 2012 and Windows 8 include support for over 350 new group policy settings ...This brings the total number of manageable system policies via Active Directory group policy to over 3,600 policy settings! Below, I've summarized the new categories of group policy settings that I'm most excited about and I've also provided a link to a downloadable reference workbook ...
What's New in Active Directory Group Policies?
These new Group Policy settings provide improved management for new areas of these operating systems, such as:
- Managing enterprise installation of Windows 8-style application packages (AppX)
- Desktop personalization for Lock screen and Start screen background
- Start Screen customization settings, such as Show "Run as Different User" on Start screen and clearing History on tile notifications
- User Setting Sync configuration (ie., "Sync your Settings" to Skydrive)
- New Folder Redirection settings that can configure redirection on a user's "primary computer" only
- User Profile roaming settings that can configure roaming on a user's "primary computer" only
- Windows Store - turn on / off
- Internet Explorer customization settings ( over 150 of the new settings are specific to Internet Explorer )
- Printing settings to handle the new v4 simplified print provider architecture
- New Windows Explorer UI settings
- Credential provider settings for Password sign-in, PIN sign-in and Picture Password sign-in
- Device driver setup and compatibility settings
- DNSClient settings, such as smart protocol reordering and response preferences
- TCPIP settings, such as IPv6 Stateless Autoconfiguration
- UI Customization, such as turn-off switching between recent apps
- External boot options for Windows-to-Go
- File History settings
- File Server VSS Provider Shadow Copies
- Wireless WAN Cost Policies for 3G/4G networks
- Hotspot Authentication
- BitLocker Volume Encryption
- Internet Explorer customization
- Kerberos armoring
- Peer-to-peer caching for BranchCache
- PowerShell Execution Policy
- New Terminal Server Settings for RDP 8.0 and RemoteFX
- TPM settings, such as backup TPM to Active Directory
For complete details on the new Group Policy features in Windows Server 2012 and Windows 8, read this article and download the reference workbook below.
Do I need to update my Active Directory schema to deploy these new Group Policies?
According to the reference document, only one (1) of these new Group Policy Settings ( "Turn on TPM backup to Active Directory Domain Services" ) requires that the AD Schema be updated to Windows Server 2012.
Where can I download an updated reference for all Group Policy settings?
An updated reference workbook for the new Group Policy Settings in Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012 is now available for download at:
Hope this helps!

By Carmen Gonzalez The Internet of Things (IoT) is causing data centers to become radically decentralized and atomized within a new paradigm known as "fog computing." To support IoT applications, such as connected cars and smart grids, data centers' core functions will be decentralized out to the network's edges and endpoints (aka "fogs"). As this trend takes hold, Big Data analytics platforms will focus on high-volume log analysis (aka "logs") and rely heavily on cognitive-computing algorithms (aka "cogs") to make sense of it all.

Tuesday's ad is for the Green Tree Brewery of St. Louis, and specifically their Buck Beer — apparently a bock — from 1906. Weird that they called it "buck" but then again perhaps they were thinking ahead and believed it was be easier to own or trademark the name which I confess I didn't even notice was buck when I first looked at this ad.
Beer In Ads #1482: When You Make A Great Beer, You Don't Have To Make A Great Fuss
Monday's ad is for Heineken, from, I think, the early 1990s. I confess I don't remember this ad campaign from Heineken, but I recently discovered that they had a reasonably long-running series of ads with the tagline "When You make a great beer, you don't have to make a great fuss." They're all minimalist in design with witty text and that fussy tagline. I haven't been able to find a lot of specifics about the campaign, apart from a few suggestions that it may not have run in the United States. But it's pretty funny in the context of the ABI Super Bowl ad that accused craft beer drinkers of being to fussy about their beer.
Beer In Ads #1481: March, The Month For Sowing Barley
Sunday's ad is for the British ad campaign "Beer is Best," from 1938. Part of "A Calendar of British Beer" from that year, March features a wonderful illustration of a farmer sowing his field with barley, and the text explains that this is the month for it, with some statistics of how much of the grain it takes each year to create all of England's beer. "All the year round. Beer is Best." Happy March.
Beer In Ads #1480: No Corn Or Corn Preparations
Saturday's ad is for Anheuser-Busch, from 1892. Apparently shortly after the competition of a new brewhouse in St. Louis, they celebrated by sponsoring "pen and sunlight sketches of Omaha and environs" with this ad. One curious feature of the otherwise simple image ad, is this line. "No Corn or Corn Preparations are used in the manufacture of Anheuser-Busch beer. It is, therefore, the highest-priced by the most wholesome and really the least expensive for its superior quality." Funny they didn't mention rice.
Beer In Ads #1479: Bavarian Brewery, E. Anheuser & Co.
Beer In Ads #1478: My Friend Budweiser
Beer In Ads #1477: The Health Of The Farmer
Wednesday's ad is another one for Anheuser-Busch's "Malt-Nutrine," also from 1908. Malt-Nutrine was promoted not as a non-alcoholic beer, but as a "pure malt tonic" and sold by druggists and grocers. "The Health of the Farmer" that the ad is touting comes from Malt-Nutrine containing "the combined juices of germinated barley and selected Saazer Hops." Is that all? Hell, no. "Every bottle is charged with the strength and glory of the golden grain. Its aroma is the fragrance of the clinging hop vine and its living vigor is the cream of ripened barley. It infuses life into the blood — sustains all the vital powers and to the feeble, aged and run down it is a veritable restorer of recreative and soothing potency."
Beer In Ads #1476: The Bloom Of Health
Tuesday's ad is for Anheuser-Busch's "Malt-Nutrine," from 1908. Malt-Nutrine was promoted not as a non-alcoholic beer, but as a "pure malt tonic" and sold by druggists and grocers. "The Bloom of Health" that the ad refers to apparently only "blossoms" if you have enough "life-giving blood." Luckily, Malt-Nutrine is "a blood and strength maker." Here's the best bit: "Every drop of it is alive with the health-bringing juices of barley and the vigorous tonic powers of imported Saazer Hops." You'll feel good enough to play golf or plow a field.
Beer In Ads #1475: The Wise Trainer Of Athletes
Monday's ad is another one for Budweiser, this one from 1910. The headline is "The Wise Trainer of Athletes," but that's just the start. It continues. "The Wise Trainer of Athletes Knows that the moderate use of a mild stimulant is beneficial to his charges. The vast majority of such men recommend Budweiser Because it is nourishing and refreshing and quickly relieves the tired feeling that may result from physical activity." My son Porter just joined his middle school's track team, but I think I'll hold off on adding beer to his workout regime, at least for now.
Beer In Ads #1474: A Congenial Friend, And A Cool, Refreshing Bottle
Sunday's ad is for Budweiser, from 1913. Showing an idyllic suburban porch setting, with a tray of beer bottles, and this question. "Where's more real enjoyment? The shady home-porch, a comfortable chair, a good cigar or pipe, a congenial friend, and a cool, refreshing bottle of Budweiser." Apparently, in 1913, the St' Louis brewery was producing 3 million bottles each week. But I wonder how many people in 1913, well before the post-war suburban boom that occurred after 1945, even had a porch like this one?

ehhh. Did you see him at the Oscars? It seemed like the part with his voice over was recorded super fast. He looks gross. Way past his prime. The car is cool though. I totally want to own a 2054 car, or whatever year it is.

Miami Dolphins GM Jeff Ireland Allegedly Involved In Incident With Fans On Sunday
Jeff Ireland is not a popular guy with Miami Dolphins fans. The GM has made a lot of curious moves and the fans are ready for a change. After Sunday, that might be happening sooner rather than later. It appears that Ireland was involved in an incident with fans that involved Ireland insulting a fan.
It is still unconfirmed, but the story goes that Ireland was arguing with a fan and Ireland ended up calling the fan a word that rhymes with bass bowl. That should be easy enough to figure out for you scholarly types out there.
This might not be a big deal in the long run, but it is another weird incident in the career of Ireland. He seems to screw up more often than not and that is not a good way to keep your job. Dolphins fans want him gone but he seems to stick around. He's like a really bad cold that you just can't seem to get rid of.
We will see if the public outrage from this incident will be enough to get Ireland out the door. I imagine that the fan probably deserved to be called that name, but you still can not do that as a GM. You are representing the team and you have to be above the drunken fans who go to games. If you resort to stuff like this, you are falling into something that you can not escape.
