Not Yet Rated
"[It] has the returning cast members in fine comic form, and it has more cutting-edge humor than the first movie....This picture is going to be a smash."
Hollywood Reporter
"There are good sequences sprinkled in, where the movie sparks to life, from a karaoke version of 'I Am Woman' to Charlotte and Miranda -- over several cocktails -- discussing the struggles, frustrations and guilt associated with motherhood."
3 stars out of 5-- "[A] film as polished, savvy and calculating as Samantha Jones herself."

Is there a reason no one has posted about the fries at Neptune Oyster? Or, where does one find great fries in Boston?

So I finally made it there tonight. Had some nice oysters, really enjoyed the hot lobster roll, but was surprised and impressed most with the French fries! Perfectly cooked, right size, nice flavour, I could have eaten these all night and into tomorrow. They seemed to be made of a different potato than most, and boy did it work for me. I was a little disappointed I didn't see them as a stand alone on the menu.
Where else does everyone go for great fries?
Lots of places have decent friens, but Sel de la Terre, Brasserie Jo and Petit Robert Bistro have have excellent ones and I think they are addictive at the Beehive, although I haven't yet read the posting about why someone would never go back to the Beehive.

River Gods on River Street in Cambridge. Their burger is among the top 3 or 4 in the area, but it's the fries that make this one great. The usual attributes: crisp outside, moist inside, clean potato taste, piping hot of course.
But it's the aoli for dipping that blows them into the burger/fries stratospherre!!
The rest of the menu deserves a separate post. What a great neighborhood place!

re: Dea
I was about to post about these too! These fries are AMAZING. Just thinking about them is making me hungry now. My sweetie is not a fry person at all and he started actively stealing fries off my plate as soon as he tried one. I finally ordered him is own side order to keep him from eating all of mine!

Sources: FBI subpoenaed Clemens' files
FBI agents investigating Roger Clemens pored through medical records from his former teams earlier this year, looking for evidence that he perjured himself in February when he told Congress he had never used steroids or human growth hormone, several sources have told ESPN.
Agents met with club officials and attorneys from the New York Yankees, Houston Astros and Toronto Blue Jays in late spring, reviewing medical documents the teams had and interviewing some medical and training personnel.
The team medical reports are not expected to yield much information other than to confirm details made public when Clemens testified before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, such as the existence of an abscess on Clemens' buttocks while he played for the Blue Jays in 1998.
Brian McNamee, the personal trainer who said he provided performance-enhancing drugs for Clemens and other athletes, told congressional investigators that Clemens had developed the abscess after McNamee injected him. McNamee told investigators that he injected Clemens privately, so it is possible that team officials and medical staff were unaware of Clemens' alleged use.
Such abscesses have been associated with steroid use, although the existence of such an abscess is not necessarily evidence that Clemens was doping. FBI agents interviewed some club medical and training staff representatives and asked what they recalled about the incident, and whether Clemens had discussed steroid or HGH use.
The Yankees and Astros records were subpoenaed, but the FBI had no authority to subpoena material from the Blue Jays. Sources said they were not aware of how much information the FBI was able to obtain directly from the Blue Jays, and under Canada's strict privacy laws, patient consent is needed to release medical records.
Clemens did sign a waiver in February, however, that allowed the Blue Jays to turn over relevant medical reports to the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, and those records were made available to the FBI.
Although Blue Jays personnel who were interviewed by committee investigators said they had no knowledge of an abscess, the records showed that he had been treated for one.
Officials from Clemens' former clubs declined comment, as did Rusty Hardin, Clemens' attorney.
MLB officials also declined comment, but one source said the teams were told "to cooperate and make sure you get a lawyer who's an expert in medical privacy law," and another source confirmed that directive. MLB and club sources said they have heard nothing about the investigation since the summer, and were not aware whether any of the information culled from the reports would incriminate Clemens
In connection with the House hearing in February, former Yankees teammates Andy Pettitte and Chuck Knoblauch confirmed that they had received drugs from McNamee, but Clemens flatly denied the accusations. Pettitte, who did not appear before the committee but gave sworn testimony to investigators, essentially confirmed McNamee's version of events, saying he was aware Clemens used human growth hormone and had discussed it with him.
The hearing broke almost completely on party lines, with Democrats tending to attack Clemens and Republicans going after McNamee. Committee chairman Henry Waxman (D-Ca.) asked the U.S. attorney in Washington, D.C., to open a perjury investigation. Ranking minority member Tom Davis (R-Va.) led a Republican response that questioned many of McNamee's accusations. The U.S. attorney took up the case and the FBI began investigating.
As ESPN and the New York Times reported last month, investigators also took DNA samples from McNamee and his legal team to determine whether their DNA was on syringes that McNamee claims were used to inject Clemens with performance-enhancing drugs.

2003 Ford Expedition
ProsIt can carry all of my soccer gear plus that of the entire soccer team. It always gets me from A to B. ConsIt gets such bad gas mileage and thats the only bad thing about it.
2003 Ford Expedition — Ok i like my car don't get me wrong but when it comes down to miles per gallon it sucks!! Other than that my car is great. I haven't ever had any problems with it. I can put as much crap in it as i need and i will always have enough room. I have even carried 9 people plus all of their soccer gear in my car and still had room. I like.

2003 Ford Expedition XLT FX4 Off-road 4WD
Prossize Consfitting countless kids
Comfort — Smooth ride, comfort, style, affordability, great body design, many features/options...dependability, & this vehicle has the capacity to perform many additional duties aside from transporting children safely & comfortably. The expedition is truly an SUV with much to offer, & the options are great! Primary Use: Family transportation |
2003 Ford Expedition XLT
ProsSize, Ride and reliability ConsFinish, Cabin Noise
Solid — I like this truck, when we purchased it what attracted us to it was the size and the versitility of the third row back seat. We have had it for ten years now and think it is it time for a change. It is a solid vehicle and we have not had many problems with it at all, but the thing that might not bring me back to the expedition is the finish. The materials that were used for these vehicles sems to be cheap and not thought out very well. With all that said it is a very solid truck. Primary Use: Family transportation |
2003 Ford Expedition XLT 4WD
Proscomputer mods along with intake and ignition up grades net 29+ mpg on the highway Consnot many body mods for this year of expedition
2003 Expedition Ex-sheriff Search & Rescue K-9 Unit 4x4 — My expedition is a retired sheriff search & rescue k-9 unit that came with all the maintenance records. The computer was flashed at ford to increase performance and I added a high voltage ignition sys and throttle body spacer to gain 29+ mpg on the highway. With it being a government truck they kept very good maintenance on it with full records. I've had no break downs or worn parts due to its time as a k-9 unit. Search & rescue units seem to have less wear and abuse than patrol or drug enforcement units. Primary Use: Family transportation |
2003 Ford Expedition XLT
ProsVery Dependable, no major problems ConsCan't use as a track car (for drivers school)
Very Dependable Good Family Vehicle That Served Multiple Purposes — For many years owned and truck and small car for daily commutes. Combined everything into one vehicle thus not having to upkeep two. Large and comfortable for family trips, hauling soccer team, at the same time nice enough to go out with the spouse and then served as a work horse to go to local building supply to pickup materials .....excellent multipurpose vehicle. Independent rear suspension makes it handle very well. Plus its a Ford. Primary Use: Commuting to work |
2003 Ford Expedition Eddie Bauer 4WD
ProsDrives and runs great ConsMy wife won't drive it because she thinks it's too big!
Love My Suv — I love my Expedition. I hate to sell it, but my commute is too far for a large SUV. I wish my wife would drive it, then we could keep it. It has high miles, but that is a tribute to how good it is. It is in great shape. I will miss it a great deal. |
2003 Ford Expedition Eddie Bauer
Proscomfort Consgas mileage
2003 Ford Expedition XLT 4WD
Proshigh driving position, engine Consbuild quality-plastic
Big Car, Big Smile — I drove the 4.6 litre V8 model and loved it. It is the biggest car I have ever drove and it is the funnest. It has 248 thousand miles on it, the door sensors don't work, and the A/C broke, and the right rear window stopped working, but it doesn't matter because when you drive this car and put your foot down you immediately are thrown a mass of power and a very loud noise. The computer says it gets 15.1 MPG. The high driving position is great, but everything is plastic...everything, and it does not all fit together right. The car is easy to steer, but there are more rotations in the wheel so you don't flip at high speeds. This makes it dificult in small places, especially cities and small towns. |
2003 Ford Expedition Eddie Bauer 4WD
ProsLeather sunroof,every upgrade ,and middle row captan's seats ConsGas(it lets you know how many mpg it's getting and exactly how much gas is left to the mile)
2003 Expedition Eddie Bauer Limited 4wd — I purchased a 2003 expedition eddie bauer 4wd this past weekend. My favorite part is the middle row captians chairs. It is like a extra roomy minivan inside and a full size suv on the out side. This model has every bell and whistle and only has 75,000 miles on it. This vehicle glides on the road. With the 5.4 enigine driving seems effortless. I was lucky to find it in such pristine condition. My husband did not want to buy it until he drove it and he fell inlove with it. We truly could not be happier with our choice in vehicles. |
2003 Ford Expedition XLT 4WD
ProsExcellent reliability, great road handling and engine performance. Well engineered and built. Tow package among the best I've ever used. ConsLimited options for wheels. Basic truck interior.
Top Notch Suv For Hauling. Great Power And Handling. — I've used this for hauling trailers, boats, other cars and trucks, and lots of people. I've never had any down time with it. Absolutely reliable. As the saying goes, "built Ford tough." The interior is fairly basic, no frills. This was a Special Service package, intended for police and fire department use. The tow package has been worth its weight in gold. I've hauled some serious weight over long distances, up mountains and never had a single issue with the Expedition. Maintenance is an absolute breeze, well thought-out engineering and design. I've since sold my Expedition but have committed to buying another one soon, as this was among my favorite SUVs ever. Primary Use: Utility (towing boats, transporting cargo, etc.) |

Arizona Diamondbacks
FanBall Weekly - It's Rookie Time!
We've made our way into mid-June and it's time for the rookies to come out of hiding. They've been holed up in Double and Triple-A, just waiting to make an impact on your fantasy roster. You may wonder why I spend so much time talking about rookies and why every week I talk about Minor Leaguers during the podcast, it's because they're the future of fantasy (and real) baseball. I've said it before, there's a reason Yahoo! leagues added an "NA" spot on the roster, giving owners the ability to stash a minor league player without him taking up one of the precious 20+ spaces.
At first we saw guys like Marlins pitcher Jose Fernandez and Brewers infielder Jean Segura. They've made big impacts for their teams and will continue to do so for years to come. These guys are gold for owners in keeper leagues, late-round draft picks or mid-season free agents that become way more valuable than originally anticipated.
As 2013 wore on, the Diamondbacks called up Didi Gregorius, who has been a frontrunner for NL ROY along with the above mentioned players and the Marlins continued to pump youth into the ballclub, calling up Marcell Ozuna and Derek Dietrich. All but Dietrich have been worthy fantasy players.
The AL got going with Aaron Hicks and Jackie Bradley, Jr., two studs in Spring Training who earned their way onto rosters but underperformed. Though they have both had their struggles, they'll likely show up on your roster at some point in the next year or two. Then came Jurickson Profar, the most talked about rookie of the season, somebody likely drafted and stashed him in your league or maybe he was kept from 2012 by a hardcore manager. The same could be said for Gerrit Cole, the Pirates starting pitcher who was the first overall pick in 2011.
This month is when they'll really start to emerge from Triple-A. Mariners catching prospect Mike Zunino became the first position player from the 2012 draft to suit up and highly touted outfielder Wil Myers will get his first look at the majors on Tuesday for the Rays. More are on their way, like Twins pitcher Kyle Gibson, Pirates pitcher Jamison Taillon, Astros outfielder George Springer and yet another Miami Marlin, Christian Yelich.
To be successful year in and year out in fantasy baseball, you need to pay attention to these guys. They're the foundation with which you build a team. I remember a few years ago the Pirates had a hard-hitting speedster in Indianapolis that everybody was raving about. Two weeks into his debut season everybody knew Andrew McCutchen because of his improbable three-homer game. These guys can come from anywhere at any time, so utilize your "watch list" and check up on the progress of these prospects, they'll more often than not help your team or at least help fill some holes if your top guys are out with injuries. And if all works out, they make for a great keeper.
I love you all, except Hawk Harrelson.

BMW CEO confirms BMW X4 (F26) will be produced. Baby X6 interest anyone?
(image source: Auto Bild) The much rumored BMW X4 has been confirmed for production by none other then BMW CEO Norbert Reithofer. The X4, a baby BMW X6 will bring the sports coupe SUV concept down market in both size and price. The production code will be F26 and will likely share power plants, drive train and suspension with the X3. You can think of the X4 as a coupe version of the X3. In an interview with German magazine Auto Motor und Sport, Norbert Reithofer, BMW CEO, goes on record about the upcoming X4 which will be built under the internal codename F26, so the X4 will hit the market pretty soon. According to the German report, the CEO says the BMW X4 will be approximately 4.65 meter long (15.26 feet) and feature a similar design layout to the BMW X6 Source speedlux A smaller, (possibly) more sports oriented X6 sounds like a fun car! Who's going to check out the X4 as a potential next car or second car? |

Ken Venturi (Associated Press)
Ken Venturi, who overcame dehydration to win the 1964 U.S. Open and spent 35 years in the booth for CBS Sports, died Friday afternoon. He was 82.
His son, Matt Venturi, said he died in a hospital in Rancho Mirage, Calif. Venturi had been hospitalized the last two months for a spinal infection, pneumonia, and then an intestinal infection that he could no longer fight.
Venturi died 11 days after he was inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame.
He couldn't make it to the induction. His sons, Matt and Tim, accepted on his behalf after an emotional tribute by Jim Nantz, who worked alongside Venturi at CBS.
"When dad did receive the election into the Hall of Fame, he had a twinkle in his eye, and that twinkle is there every day," Tim Venturi said that night.
Venturi was all about overcoming the odds.
A prominent amateur who grew up in San Francisco, he captured his only major in the 1964 U.S. Open at Congressional, the last year the final round was 36 holes. In oppressive heat, Venturi showed signs of dehydration and a doctor recommended he stop playing because it could be fatal. Venturi pressed on to the finish, closed with a 70 and was heard to say, "My God, I've won the U.S. Open."
He had a severe stuttering problem as a child, yet went on to become one of the familiar voices in golf broadcasting. He began working for CBS in 1968 and lasted 35 years.
"We all knew what a wonderful player Ken Venturi was, and how he fashioned a second successful career as an announcer," Jack Nicklaus said. "But far more important than how good he was at playing the game or covering it, Ken was my friend. Ken was fortunate in that the game of golf gave him so much, but without question, Ken gave back far more to the game he loved than he ever gained from it. Over the years, Ken developed a circle of friends that is enormous and whose collective heart is heavy today."
Venturi played on one Ryder Cup team and was U.S. captain in the 2000 Presidents Cup.
"His tremendous accomplishments on the golf course were certainly Hall of Fame worthy on their own, but in Ken one finds a rare example of a golfer whose second career, in television, rivaled the legendary status of his competitive achievements," PGA Tour Commissioner Tim Finchem said. "His unique perspective and poetic delivery as an announcer enhanced countless memorable moments in golf, making his voice and presence as in indelible as the historic tournaments he covered. Ken will forever be remembered as a consummate gentleman, and he will be truly missed."
Venturi was born May 15, 1931, in San Francisco, and he developed his game at Harding Park Golf Course. He won the California State Amateur at Pebble Beach in 1951 and 1956, while serving in the Army in Korea between those two amateur titles.
His stammering problem is what led him to golf.
"When I was 13 years old, the teacher told my mother, 'I'm sorry, Mrs. Venturi, but your son will never be able to speak. He's an incurable stammerer,'" Venturi said in 2011. "My mother asked me what I planned to do. I said, 'I'm taking up the loneliest sport I know,' and picked up a set of hickory shaft across the street from a man and went to Harding Park and played my first round of golf."
As an amateur, he was the 54-hole leader in the 1956 Masters until closing with an 80, and he was runner-up at Augusta National in 1960 to Arnold Palmer, who birdied the last two holes.
He turned pro and won his first PGA Tour at the St. Paul Open Invitational. Venturi won eight times over the next three years, including the Los Angeles Open and the Bing Crosby National Pro-Am at Pebble Beach, before injuries started to affect his game after nearly winning the 1960 Masters.
He hurt his back in 1961 and badly injured his wrist in a car accident the next year. He missed the U.S. Open three straight years until he narrowly qualified for Congressional. It turned out to be an epic final day for the Californian coping with broiling heat.
Venturi shot 66 in the third round, but was feeling weak during the break before the final round that afternoon. John Everett, a doctor and member at Congressional, checked on him and found a normal pulse but symptoms of dehydration.
"Dr. Everett told me ... I was lying next to my locker and he says, 'I suggest that you don't go out. It could be fatal,'" Venturi said in 2011 when he returned to Congressional for the U.S. Open. "I looked up at him and I said, 'Well, it's better than the way I've been living.' And I got off the floor, and I do not remember walking to the first tee. I don't remember the front nine until I started coming into it."
Venturi was so shaken, so weak, when it was over that his final act was to sign the scorecard. He couldn't even read the numbers. Joe Dey, the executive director of the USGA, looked over his shoulder, checked the scores and told him to sign it.
Sports Illustrated honored him as its "Sportsman of the Year" in 1964.
Venturi won three more times, his last win coming in 1966 at the Lucky International at Harding Park, where it all started.
He eventually developed Carpel Tunnel Syndrome in his hands and was forced to retire. That's when he moved into the booth as the lead analyst for CBS Sports, and his voice filled living rooms for the next 35 years until he retired in 2002.
"He was a deeply principled man with a dynamic presence. He just exuded class," Nantz said. "Through his competitive days and unequalled broadcasting career, Kenny became a human bridge connecting everyone from Sarazen, Nelson and Hogan to the greatest players of today's generation. Kenny faced many adversities in his life and always found a way to win."
Venturi was elected to the Hall of Fame through the Lifetime Achievement category. Nantz gave an emotional tribute that night, and then called Venturi's two sons to the stage to hold the trophy because "we need to put the crystal in the hands of the Venturi family."
"If there is some sense of fairness, it is that Ken was inducted into a Hall of Fame that he very much deserved to be in and, in fact, should have been in for many years," Nicklaus said. "While I know he was not able to be there in person for his induction, I am certain there was an overwhelming sense of pride and peace that embraced Ken. It was a dream of Ken Venturi's that became a reality before he sadly left us."
Venturi is survived his wife of 10 years, Kathleen, and his two sons. Matt Venturi said services were pending.

Silent Hill 2
Silent Hill 2 Member Review for the PS2
Contains Blood and Gore, Violence
What do these ratings mean?
Now, Silent Hill, when I think of those words, I think of the game that always does a great job at creeping you out in the best ways possible. I think of the game that never fails to keep me up at night, hoping to God that noise out there wasn't a zombie nurse. I haven't played all of the Silent Hill games, but that doesn't mean I'm not a huge fan of the series.
I've played SH4, got about halfway through that, I have beaten SH3, and I have also beaten SH2. Even though there still is Silent Hill 1 I've yet to try, I know what a Silent Hill game should have (and I HAVE seen videos and pictures of Silent Hill 1 before). And, if you're reading this review, so should you. We both know what Silent Hill fans want, they want a game that doesn't focus on fighting, has a creepy atmosphere, gives that same bone chilling effect that is traditional to each installment, and is just plain SCARY. Silent Hill 2 happens to be my favorite game in the series, and that is mainly because I was very pleased to see that just about all of the criteria was present.
Silent Hill 2 is about a man named James who is sent to the town of Silent Hill after being called there by his wife, Mary, who said that she was there waiting for him in their 'special place.' There's only one problem, Mary died three years ago. So, of course, James can't just ignore the fact that after three long, lonely years the woman he loved and thought was dead, was still alive. If I were James, I'd sure as hell be looking for her too. What was Mary doing at Silent Hill, you ask? Why not just Hawaii? Well, before Silent Hill turned into this hellish place that zombies and evil mutated dogs decided to inhabit it, Silent Hill was a fairly well-known town that many people went to for honeymoons and sightseeing, it was an average tourist attraction. James and Mary had gone there supposedly for either their honeymoon, or just a place to keep Mary's mind off of her illness, which I really have no idea what it was (tuberculosis, maybe, since she was always coughing, but you can head to wikipedia if you want to be sure on that). There, they went to many different places that they adored, and when they left, Mary told James to promise her that they'd go back one day. Too bad Mary died before then, or did she?
The music that plays throughout the game is absolutely fantastic, it's eerie and manages to make the hair on the back of your neck stand up. Although, while you're actually playing the game, music seems somewhat absent, and you're left with these mindbending noises in the background. These noises are okay, and they definitely keep you scared and nervous, but a little music couldn't kill the game could it? The only time you really hear any of the great music is during cutscenes but the music is so well played and added into the game at the best times, it makes up for it's absense when you finally get to hear it.
Of course, we couldn't have Silent Hill without having those grotesque monsters and walls all around you. The graphics are outstanding in this installment, and have obviously been greatly enhanced since Silent Hill 1. There are two types of Silent Hill you will be constantly crossing between throughout the game, and even when you aren't in the Otherworld--or whatever you choose to call it--the rundown buildings and bloody roads are a great sight. While playing, I found myself just running down every road I could just to see the detail of the areas.
Not only are the graphics and sounds great, but the characters are the real things that make Silent Hill 2 such a great game. I'll give you a basic rundown of the numerous characters you run into throughout Silent Hill 2, while trying to tone down spoilers as much as I can:
James: The main character, a kind-hearted man that means nobody any kind of harm, and just wants to find his beloved wife, and get the HELL OUTTA THAT TOWN. By just listening to the way James says things, you can tell how kind and how down-to-Earth he is.
Mary: We don't know that much about her, except that she's James' wife and she died three years ago... right?
Maria: You meet her fairly early in the game, and immediately James mistakes her for Mary, since she looks exactly like her, excluding the hair and clothes. If you play the sub-scenario, you find out that she is a stripper for the Silent Hill bar, which, if I remember correctly, is called Silent Heaven. We don't know why she's in Silent Hill to begin with until the end of the game, and that's only if you manage to piece things together correctly.
Ed: I found Ed kinda funny, actually, but not that "Haha this guy has the best jokes" funny, just "This guy has some issues, haha" funny. When you meet him, you feel like it couldn't have been at a worse time, seeing how he's throwing up in a toilet when James introduces himself. Later in the game, you realize how twisted he really is, but when he's not being all freaky and messed up in the head, he's probably somewhere eating his lunch.
Angela: She's probably my favorite character, next to James, mainly because she's just messed up in the head. But it's not like she's completely psycho, she's just got a pretty dark past, that I'm sure as hell glad I haven't gone through. It's also not until the end of the game that we find out why she's in Silent Hill, except in the beginning when she just tells you she's looking for her mother.
Laura: This little girl really confuses a lot of players, because, she's just an innocent girl. If this happened to be the first Silent Hill game you've tried, like it was for me, the same exact thing will go through your head when you meet her for the first time: "Why in the hell is a little girl in a town like this? Shouldn't she be terrified of everything?" Well you won't find that out unless you look into the backstory of Silent Hill (and if you want, I could tell you, but I won't tell you here. Bahaha). She also seems to know quite a bit about Mary, which is also revealed to you near the end of the game.
Pyramid Head: I'm NOT leaving this guy out. No way in hell... er, Silent Hill. This guy is easily a symbol for the Silent Hill series, because he's just ****ing awesome. We all need a big guy with a huge helmet on, holding a big, bloody cleaver raping undead mannequins in our nightmares, don't we? Now, without trying to get too into the backstory, Pyramid Head belongs in Silent Hill 2, and Silent Hill 2 ONLY. I was not happy when he was put into SH:Homecoming (want more info on that? Come talk to me).
Every one of these characters could NOT have been developed any better, it just seems impossible to me. They are all near perfect as far as personalities go. I found these characters all completely flawless, they just added to the atmosphere of Silent Hill extremely well. If these characters were absent, or their personalities lacked a bit, I don't think this game would have been as good as it is.
The only problem I had with this game, was the fighting. I know the game isn't supposed to focus on fighting, which is good, I like the fact that they want to focus on scaring you. The only problem was, when you WERE fighting, it was just as simple as running up to something, bashing or shooting it a number of times, and then kicking it in the face to make sure it's dead. That's all it really was throughout the entire game, no variety, just hit it, clarify that it's dead, keep going. That's the only thing I found bad about Silent Hill 2, seriously. It's that good of a game.
One last thing before I give you my overall summary, the radio. Where would Silent Hill be without that glorious radio? We need that static chatter in the background, it's just necessary to make Silent Hill, Silent Hill. Without it, we'd probably be wondering whether or not this is Silent Hill, or Quiet Mound.
Now, my overall summary. This game is great, I absolutely love it. If you're a fan of the series, you gotta play it. It's a definite recommendation in my part, even if you haven't played Silent Hill before. Just know one thing, Silent Hill is NOT Resident Evil. Silent Hill focuses on scaring you by adding eerie things into the background to creep you out. Resident Evil CAN be scary, I'll give it that, but in Resident Evil, anything scary that you come across you can easily just whip out your shotgun and blow it's head off. That's not scary, but it sure as hell blows off steam.
All in all, if you want to get scared, and you're pretty nocturnal, go for Silent Hill 2. Just be a REAL gamer about it. Get the game, wait until 2:30am to play it, turn EVERYTHING off, turn that sound up, sit in the middle of the room, AND PLAY IT. ALL OF IT. DO IT. NOW. ...please?

TUF 12 Finale draws 2 million viewers, as Strikeforce end-up with 340,000
The television ratings are in from the weekend's head to head events. The UFC win impressively with 2 million viewers tuning in on Spike to watch The Ultimate Fighter season 12 Finale, although Strikeforce: St. Louis put up a good fight and managed to draw a respectable 340,000 viewers on Showtime.
Sergio Non of USAToday.com weighed in on the ratings for the head to head events:
"In Mixed Martial Arts the core demographics of men ages 18 – 34 and 18- 49, the TUF 12 Finale saw 2.3 and 1.9 ratings, compared to 0.81 and 0.9 for StrikeForce. As part of many basic packages offered by cable and satellite TV providers, Spike is available in more than 98 million homes. Showtime, a premium channel that costs an additional fee has about 18 million subscribers.
'TUF's show peaked at 2.3 million viewers between 10.15pm and 10.30pm, when Nam Phan and Leonard Garcia went three rounds in a bout packed with enough action to win the Fight of the Night Bonus. Although Garcia was awarded a heavily disputed split-decision."
MMAJunkie.com had more on StrikeForce's numbers:
"This past weekends StrikeForce: Henderson vs Babalu II event on Showtime peaked with 465,000 viewers for the main event bout between Dan Henderson and Renato 'Babalu' Sobral."
"The numbers were similar to October's StrikeForce: Diaz vs Noons II event in San Jose, which averaged 350,000 viewers and peaked with 509,000. However, of the organisation's seven Arena Series shows in 2010, the December 4th event ranked 5th ( but just 26,000 viewers behind the third ranked StrikeForce: Houston card )"

Strikeforce's card was still better. Only because of all the knockouts.
http://lowkickmma.com/members/UnderdogGreatness/ UnderdogGreatness
I still think Strikeforce's card was way better than the UFC's. These numbers are overrated IMO.
http://lowkickmma.com/members/MMA-ADDICT/ MMA ADDICT
The strikeforce card was much better
http://lowkickmma.com/members/Kinosis79/ kinosis79
Strikeforce was much better, and you have to remember that Spike tv is on in over 5.4 times as many homes as Showtime is. 2.3% of people with Spike tv watched the UFC at it's peak, 2.5% of people with showtime watched Strikeforce.
http://lowkickmma.com/members/Overhand-Right/ overhand right
well ufc is the mainstream so what can else can you expect? but after a card like that i'd expect strikeforce's rating to be up by anywhere from 100-200,000 for the next card, depending on who's fighting of course.
http://lowkickmma.com/members/UrHype/ UrHype
How the hell does anyone know who watched Strikeforce thats bullshit.
http://lowkickmma.com/members/UrHype/ UrHype
I dont have showtime and I saw the event, add one more
http://lowkickmma.com/members/51JD51/ 51JD51
Lol I'm not sure how numbers can be over rated. It doesn't matter how good of a card Strikeforce had, they will never be able to compete with the UFC unless they are able to catch the attention of the casual mma fan and that will require a massive marketing campaign which they either can't afford, or are too stupid to realize they need. Either way the UFC still has no reason to feel threatened by strikeforce, even if every one of their fights ends in a highlight real knockout.
http://lowkickmma.com/members/51JD51/ 51JD51
That means absolutely nothing when it's all said and done. Nice try with the optimism tho
http://lowkickmma.com/members/51JD51/ 51JD51
It's the same for UFC ppv's too, you can never keep a total of all the illegal streams or pirated videos watched after the fact.
http://lowkickmma.com/members/DeadlyIntentions93/ DeadlyIntentions93
This is simply proof of a popularity contest…
http://lowkickmma.com/members/DeadlyIntentions93/ DeadlyIntentions93
Its not like people were pumped to see Bonnar vs Pokrajac over Babulu vs Henderson 2 now isit…
http://lowkickmma.com/members/TarrantulaBdawg420/ TarrantulaBdawg420
If i had known strikeforce was going to on i would have watched it instead. Unfortunately i didnt even know it was on the same night as TUF 12. Turns out Strikeforces card was much better. Props out too Michael Johnston hes a ****ing dog fighter. Great potential. o and eat your heart out koscheck semtex brings a way better fight to the octagon.
http://lowkickmma.com/members/Kinosis79/ kinosis79
Actually retard, it means lots of people tuned into showtime, a channel you have to pay for, to watch Strikeforce. Get out of here with the hate moron.
http://lowkickmma.com/members/51JD51/ 51JD51
Yes and people pay for it because it has programming they enjoy while Spike is on most basic cable packages. Of course if you pay for a channel you're more likely to watch on of their niche programs than the countless people who have spike tv and don't care about it. It's not hate it's the truth, the strikeforce card was awesome but like I said in the earlier post if they don;'t go on a massive marketing campaign the UFC will eventually consume them (although I'm sure another organization will take their place – their always will be a legitimate #2 organization in north america)
http://lowkickmma.com/members/Jizzle11/ Jizzle11
ROFL how are these number overrated? That doesn't even make sense. That's how many people tuned in. How is that overrated?
http://lowkickmma.com/members/51JD51/ 51JD51
****one of their niche programs*
http://lowkickmma.com/members/Mmauk/ mmauk
only because of the knock outs ? what about the fact Hendo and Daley are way better than any of the guys on the TUF card. TUF was always going to pull in more ratings doe one thing i don't get is why Strikeforce went into business Showtime and not CBS i'm from the UK so correct if i'm mistaken but isn't CBS a national TV channel I personally believe if Strikeforce can consistently put on cards on CBS they might be able to catch the UFC. But seeing as they have made their bed with showtime it would be nice to see them put on more cards and breed some new guys too and create their own stars
http://lowkickmma.com/members/Garry_blackbelt/ garry_blackbelt
strike force was not the best this card! and tuf is for the younger kids looking too wish and dream! some show that is ! lil boys pissing and shooting their loads on peoples food in the house nice! real classy boys!
http://lowkickmma.com/members/Ryan-Ventura/ Ryan Ventura
It just goes to show you what the casual fans are really missing out on. Strikeforce had a world class card!
http://lowkickmma.com/members/Mohawkblue/ Mohawkblue
Agreed, I was watching both at once STRIKEFORCE was way better!
Bigger names too! -
http://lowkickmma.com/members/UrHype/ UrHype
they dont say how many people saw the fights after they heard it smoked the Fluff finals
http://lowkickmma.com/members/Zath/ Zath
Yes, Strikeforce had a great card and great fights… FINALLY! Look at what you're comparing here, Strikeforce elite names and fighters against low tier UFC fighters and kids who are fighting for a spot in the company. That is like saying the Canadian football league champs are taking on the last place college team. Strikeforce is not a threat to the UFC. If that same Strikeforce card went up against the upcoming UFC GSP vs Koscheck, Strikeforce numbers would be even worse. Not because of the names that Strikeforce has but because of the mainstream success of the UFC. UFC is a name that people recognize. UFC has the reputation for putting up the best fights for their ppv cards even when there isn't a title at stake.
I believe that Strikeforce could position themselves better if they had more free fights on CBS, and thus putting their brand out there. Having fights on Showtime does them no justice. Most people have to subscribe to Showtime just to watch those fights and it's really not worth it.
One last note, most of the big names on Strikeforces card that had the big drawing power were middle tier fighters in the UFC. I believe that speaks TONS to the level of competition between the two companies.
http://lowkickmma.com/members/Willc09/ willc09
these figures wouldnt include people watching it in the UK on ESPN for UFC and Bravo (i think) for Strikeforce, would they? foreign channels can make a big difference
http://lowkickmma.com/members/Garry_blackbelt/ garry_blackbelt
it was.
http://lowkickmma.com/members/Colktfo/ colktfo
yea one guy was a big name fighting someone with no name practically, while TUF finale had actuall competition
http://lowkickmma.com/members/Krislopez/ krislopez
Hands down StrikeForce was the better fights that night. I want my 3 hours back from the waist of time on UFCs TUF
http://lowkickmma.com/members/Chief-Don/ Chief Don
the SF card was more fun because of the |KO's
but then who didn't see most of them coming as soon as they were signedlots of UFC retreads
tho I was glad to see Dan get a KO after that mess with LNP Shieldsgood luck to the UFC selling him to any one
GSP or Silva will send him back to the preliminaries in short order -
http://lowkickmma.com/members/Jackthedrinker89/ jackthedrinker89
Strikeforce had a bunch of UFC rejects that had their chin waaaaay beyond tested fighting hard hitters… of coarse it was a good card cuz of the KOs but when was the last time you saw Sobral on a card he didnt get KOd by a legit fighter? And plus this card is being compared to a low ranked card from the UFC….. you really need to look at that before assuming that Strikeforce is becoming better….

It's funny because all of the fighters who got knockouts on the strikeforce event were all former ufc fighters. Paul Daley unfortunately should still be.
http://lowkickmma.com/members/DeadlyIntentions93/ DeadlyIntentions93
Every fighter was an ex-UFC fighter besides Antonio Silva.

http://lowkickmma.com/members/Drago/ Drago
You guys are comparing a TUF finale with a Strikeforce main event, obviouslly theire both very different. I like the fights in SF but personally were not talking about the same level of talent. Lets break down the fights:
BENJI "RAZOR" RADACH VS OVINCE ST PREUX – this one sucked, Radach gameplan was cowering and covering up… Ovince isnt a very talented fighter and still he won pretty easlly. None of this fighters would have a place in the UFC.
ANTONIO "BIGFOOT" SILVA VS MIKE "MAK" KYLE – this one was a ridiculous matchup really, we have a big Heavyweight with 280 pounds against a small Light Heavyweight with 210 pounds. Bonnar or Griffin are 225 LHW and they wouldnt fight at Heavyweight. Big Foot got dropped rather easlly which for me questioned his skill a lot…
PAUL "SEMTEX" DALEY VS SCOTT "HANDS OF STEEL" SMITH – A great and entertaining fight but neither fighter would have a chance to fight for the tittle in the UFC. Daley has great stand up but little grappling (as was shown in the Shark Fights) and Smith is a entertaining fighter but not a top contender, not even close.
"RUTHLESS" ROBBIE LAWLER VS MATT "THE LAW" LINDLAND – A great Flash KO because 40 year old Lindland tried to exchange with a great striker and brawler. Clearly Lindland was insane on doing that, he could won this by decision if he used his wrestling. Its more fun the way it went for us fans but clearly he made things easy for Robbie who as always showed great hands.
DAN "HENDO" HENDERSON VS RENATO "BABALU" SOBRAL – Two veterans of the sport collided for a very entertaining fight. It was a great headliner for the fans but again, were talking about two fighters that wouldnt have a great chance in the UFC LHW division, I could name 5 or more fighters that would eat them up and spit them out.
To conclude, I would like to say it was a great card, very entertaining, but the level of talent cant be by in any way compared with the UFC. If you think im wrong, tell me one of this fighters in the card that would pose a threat for a UFC champion…
http://lowkickmma.com/members/David.K/ David.K
antonio silva, could seriously contend for the belt in the ufc, massive of a man, great ground game, solid muay thai, and always getting better, he got dropped by a guy who is very heavy handed, has great boxing, and has plenty of one punch ko's in his career, the fact that he came back and won the fight showed he can come back from a bad situation and pull of the win.

Suma Gestión Tributaria
Established: | 1990 | ||
Type: | Public Body | ||
Industry: | Tax Administration | ||
Country: | Spain | ||
President: | Luisa Pastor. | ||
Director: | Manuel De Juan Navarro. | ||
Website: | www.suma.es |
Suma Gestión Tributaria (Suma) is a 100% public provincial agency set up by the Provincial Council of Alicante (Spain) in 1990. It specializes in tax administration: assessment, billing, collection and enforcement. Suma collects the taxes on behalf of each city council with own resources.
Its governing body is the Board of Suma, made up of six Provincial Representatives, the Director, Secretary and delegate responsible for economic affairs, and is chaired by the President of the Provincial Council. There is, in addition, a consultative body, called the Council of Mayors, which guarantees the participation of the delegating Town Councils in the strategies adopted by Suma.
The name, Suma (meaning addition), seeks to express a concept of integration, accumulation, growth, and incorporation. In line with this name and the image of the two blue squares, it has developed a corporative culture based on the principle of greater service for the rate-payer and greater service for the municipality.
Suma operates in Spain, more specifically in Alicante, one of the 3 provinces which make up the Valencian Community, together with Valencia and Castellon.
Suma is the local agency responsible for the application of local taxes in all town councils of the Alicante Province. Suma is in fact an advance shared-services scheme based on the economies of scale principle.
Suma performs an integrated tax management service. It is responsible for the processing of local taxes from the first instance of a taxable activity or property to the receipt of tax payment by the municipal authorities. This involves a number of activities: updating the various payment lists, communicating with customers by issuing bills, collecting the taxes by several means (direct debit, credit card). It is also responsible for the enforcement, from notification to selling assets in auction following legal proceedings of the Taxation Act. Suma can also resolve claims and appeals which arise in the collection process, inspect and monitor the proper declaration and payment of taxes. The collected revenue is deposited in the municipal accounts in a monthly basis.
It has delegated powers for the following taxes and fees:
- Property Tax (IBI).
- Economic Activities Tax (IAE).
- Motor Vehicle Tax (IVTM).
- Capital Gains on Land (IIVTNU).
- Tax on Constructions Installations and Works (ICIO).
- Road Traffic Fines.
- As well as other local fees specific to each municipal authority (Waste Disposal Fee, Sewage, Garage Entrances, etc.)
Collaboration with other administrative bodies.[edit]
Suma´s experience in this field has led it to collaborate with Spanish local authorities and other international organizations.
- Suma has taken part, as consultants, in drawing up the Strategic Plan for tax services of the Municipal Area of Managua.
- Since 2001, Suma has also worked with the National Association of Portuguese Municipalities, performing analysis and consultancy tasks.
- In addition it takes an active part in several working groups of the Spanish Federation of Municipalities and Provinces.
- It has signed a Collaboration Agreement with the Madrid City Council in areas of consultancy and analysis.
Since 2006 Suma closely works with the Island Council of Gran Canaria in the implementation of a local tax administration system based on Suma model. Also it is working on similar projects with the Majadahonda Town Council (Madrid region), since 2005 and with the Provincial Council of Albacete, since 2012.
Suma has taken part in forums, conferences and international events and collaborates with institutions as IRRV (Institute of Revenues, Rating and Valuation, GB), Lincoln Institute of Land Policy, USA; IPTI (International Property Tax Institute, CAN) and IAAO (International Association of Assessing Officers, USA). Also it has developed in partnership a number of European projects in the field of vocational training under the auspices of the Leonardo da Vinci programme.

Alberta Ferretti Fall 2013
Don't be fooled by the first few looks from Alberta Ferretti's Fall 2013 collection. Her show in Milan on Wednesday may have started off with a series of looks in black and white, but they were anything but basic. She used a subtler hand with the embroidery and embellishments she usually employs, making this collection a little softer than her past few offerings. Still, the classic Ferretti details were all there: a black skirt was decorated with lace and sparkly black beads, while embroidered flowers snaked up the front of more than one coat in a blue check. There was romance here, but in a way that felt controlled, demure, and even a little fragile.
