Unbiased Reviews by Real People
I have read a lot of negative press about the movie Final Fantasy; most of which after viewing the film I don't understand. Some discussed the negative aspects of the graphics while others pondered the absence of an engaging storyline. I even read a couple of reviews that gave the movie bad reviews because it differed from the original Final Fantasy games. Although I understand that everyone is entitled to their position, I couldn't find one thing wrong with Final Fantasy. The movie was absolutely amazing. So amazing, that I agree with Paul Chambers from CNN-Radio; it was "hard to take [my] eyes off the screen." The movie is set in 2065 A.D. after aliens have invaded Earth. The planet has been infested with an alien race than kills humans when they come in contact with an alien. Two scientists Dr. Sid and Aki Ross search for eight spirits in the hope of creating a force powerful enough to rid the aliens from the planet. That's about the best way I can to sum up the movie. It truly is a movie that you have to watch to understand…and I mean watch closely. Not a movie where you can walk away for five minutes to grab a beer out of the fridge. This movie can get really confusing, very quickly, if your full attention isn't on your television screen. The Story Final Fantasy relies heavily on nature and spirituality. In the context of this movie it is the scientists that believe Mother Earth is an actual living spirit that is contained with the planet. They search for eight spirits that are located in various areas in the world and are contained in objects that could easily be considered garbage. The makers of this movie could of easily followed the normal doctrine of video games and made all the spirits these bright objects suspended in the air by some magical force. Instead in Final Fantasy they could be anything, even trash lying next to a deceased body. I remember my band teacher telling me once that God made everything, even the technology I'm using to type this review. Therefore the spirits that make up Mother Earth could be anything from a green plant to toxic waste; since it all came originally from parts of the Earth. Another religious aspect of Final Fantasy is Dr. Sid and Aki Ross' belief that using weapons of mass destruction to eliminate the aliens could of lasting effects that would irreversibly harm Mother Earth. So much harm in fact that they believe the Earth would just die and all of humanity along with it. Naturally the army led by an influential general dismisses the scientist's remarks and continue to pressure the use of a devastating action. The Graphics No movie that has ever been made to date; not Shrek, not Monsters Inc. has had the same level of eye opening graphics that Final Fantasy has. Clearly the time, effort, and money put into each frame is so evident it's a wonder that it was ever made. The humans almost look human, and quite possibly if they were taken out of their fantasy realm of planet Earth in 2065 and placed into current day the technology would take on further believability. That's not to say that they could be mistaken for actual actors, for I don't ever believe that we could ever be completed fooled by technology. Especially with the marketing of movies and the wealth of information found on the Internet, no movie will ever be able to deceive us for we will always know that it is indeed a creation made within a computer. Try as I might to find something wrong with the animation, I failed at almost every turn. When words are spoken the mouth's move to form and express each word. Each shadow falls where it should and each piece of clothing folds where it should when movement is made. Now, the movie did seem to falter a little bit when it came to facial expressions. It seemed that all the characters talked in the same manner, even though the voices were different. Also some of the skin tones seemed a little too plastic and shined in sunlight like their skins were overtly oily. Also during some of the overhead shots it seemed like the characters walked with a bit of a limp. That's probably why on many of the shots we can't see the feet of the characters and instead see them from the knees up. The Voices This was the number one distraction that was hard to overcome when enjoying the film. Unfortunately the first few minutes of the movie are wasted away trying to figure out exactly who that famous voice is. In my opinion they should of hired professionally trained vocal performers instead of famous American actors. Granted using famous actors increases the chances of the movie being popular (since you can market the actors who provided the voices) but it's very distracting. It happens in most animated movies and in fact it seems to be happening more and more in all animated movies. I don't recall Disney movies made before Beauty at the Beast having voices provided by famous actors of the time. I think they should return to using trained vocal performers instead of famous actors. The vocals are provided by: Ming-Na (of ER fame) as Doctor Aki Ross, Alec Baldwin as Captain Gray Edwards, Ving Rhames as Ryan, Steve Buscemi as Neil, Peri Gilpin (of Frasier fame) as Jane, Donald Sutherland (appearing in his 120th film) as Doctor Sid, and James Woods as General Hein. Overall, all the actual voices were excellent. They delivered their lines and did their best with the emotional standpoint of their character even if they only had a storyboard to go on when the actual recording was recorded. The Game I personally never played the game and even though it's based on a game I'm happy the makers of the movie didn't trying to make the movie like the game. Just as the argument that the book is always better than the movie (an argument that I don't understand—since they are two different mediums) the game is always going to be different than the movie based on the game. Again, they are two different mediums. With a game we the user have control over how the game progresses and of course if you try to compare the two you will be disappointed because you don't have control over the movie. Then again since Final Fantasy game maker Hironobu Sakaguchi is also the director of this movie the lines can get blurred. The Ending The only thing I'll say about the ending is that it doesn't wrap everything up in a nice package. The movie indeed ends, but it leaves a few questions lingering either to potentially be wrapped up in a sequel or simply for us to ponder to ourselves. Overall Final Fantasy is a movie best seen than discussed. In fact, I've found it very hard to discuss here in this review. A lot of what said could detail the technological aspect of the movie and ponder the spiritual and theological aspects of the movie's story, but like the Bible it's not a clear-cut explanation. You have to experience it and have faith in it. Although this movie isn't bound to entice me to go out and purchase the library of games by the same name, I am happy that the days of Super Mario Brothers and Street Fighter are buried deep down in our cinematic history. Final Fantasy has edge; something that most video games turned movies lacked in the past—and even some regular movies can't achieve. Granted it is the graphics that will get the most attention, but I ask you to look beyond the graphics and see the beauty in the story and what it's trying to express.

Commemorating the academic contribution of K. Kailasapathy, five eminent scholars present in this volume a coherent account of research undertaken during the past three decades on the early historic (Sangam Age) Tamil country. It can well be called the first inter-disciplinary monograph on this subject. Studies in this area have acquired an interdisciplinary character since the second half of 20th century, with a greater focus on archaeology and epigraphy.
In the context of the early historic Tamil country, there are extensive debates on the nature and antiquity of political organisation, and the source and chronology of the Tamil script, variously labelled 'Damizhi' and 'Tamil-Brahmi.' One school of thought (example, Rajan Gurukkal) argues that the Cheras, the Cholas, and the Pandyas represented a chiefdom-level political organisation, while another school, as presented by K. Rajan in this book, argues for a "well established state" and the introduction of script and literacy among laypersons in the early historic period, prior to 4th century BC.
Y. Subbarayalu, who presents an analysis of the Tamil-Brahmi inscriptions ascribed to this period, states that literacy was confined to the elite sections of society — namely, the merchants, the ruling group, and the monks. He contends that the Prakrit-speaking merchants were instrumental in introducing the Tamil-Brahmi script.
Tamil dominance
K. Indrapala, who has edited this volume, brings out the dominance of the Tamil language and highlights the presence of various ethnic groups. He goes on to explain how the processes of amalgamation and assimilation were active in this region.
R. Champakalakshmi discusses the social formations and the urban processes and calls for alternative approaches to understand the transformation of Tamil society from the proto-historic to the early historic. Y. Sivasamy speaks about the influence of Vedic ideas on the early historic Tamil society.
Over the past five decades, research on the early historic Tamil country has yielded enormous, valuable information. However, in the case of archaeology related to the 'Classical Tamil' period, a more scientific thrust is needed for a better understanding of the transformation from the Iron Age to the Early Historic. The number of AMS C-14 dates available pertaining to these periods is very minimal, and not even one settlement has been as extensively excavated and scientifically analysed as, for instance, Anuradhapura in Sri Lanka. The recent multidisciplinary research at Pattanam in Kerala by the Kerala Council of Historical Research is a welcome development in this regard.
Another vexed issue concerns the conservation of the Sangam Age archaeological sites. If less than one per cent of excavated area of Kodumanal could yield more than 204 pottery sherds with Tamil Brahmi inscriptions, surely the remaining part of the site should throw up a lot more of such valuable material. This highlights the need for more scientific excavations at similar sites and serious conservation efforts.
A valuable addition to the studies on the 'Classical Tamil' period, this book — brought out to mark the 25th death anniversary of Kailasapathy — has an essay written by him on the Sangam texts. Without doubt, the commemorative essays meet the research standards set by Kailasapathy, one of the dedicated and methodical scholars in Tamil studies. The appendices provide useful additional information. It would have been more useful for the lay readers if a few maps and illustrations on the study area had been provided. A must read for those who are interested in the early historic Tamil country.

Every week several new gadgets appear on benchmarking sites, and Samsung had a new one show up a few days ago on GFXBench. The Samsung SM-G739F specs have been revealed, and it appears as if Sammy has a mid-range phablet in the works.
The Galaxy Note 4 is a device many believe is Samsung's last chance to shine in 2014, and while we've heard the specs, and seen the box, we haven't seen a photo – until now. Yup, the first Samsung Galaxy Note 4 photos have arrived, and it's just as sleek as we'd imagined.
Samsung is about the least secretive smartphone manufacturer on the planet, and today we've gotten word of another Samsung Galaxy Alpha leak. This time around it involves the specs, and it appears to come from official marketing material.
Today is the day when Samsung is rumored to show off the Galaxy Alpha… or maybe it'll be on the 13th. The rumor mill is split on that one, but in the meantime you can check out the new White Galaxy Alpha photos that have just hit the web.
It's all but a given that the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 will arrive in September, and just like we've seen with the Nexus tabs, the Galaxy Note 3 and Galaxy Note 3 Neo have received a price cut. This one's only good for consumers in India, but you can be it's the first of many.
We knew Samsung was going to unveil three new mid-range handsets in India soon, and today was the day. The smartphone giant has officially announced the Galaxy Star Advance, Galaxy Star 2, and Galaxy Ace NXT and all are three are priced at under Rs. 8,000.
Samsung is set to shock or disappoint the world with the Samsung Galaxy Alpha depending on how you look at things. It looks like we won't have to wait long to find out as a new report has the Alpha scheduled to be shown off on August 4th.
Remember that massive leak we showed you at the end of last week regarding the Galaxy Alpha? As slick as the handset looked, a lot of us had hoped the specs were off, but that 720p display has been confirmed through Samsung's developer console.
The rumor mill is working overtime on the Galaxy Alpha, as yesterday brought us not one, but two new sets of photos showing the rumored superphone from Samsung. If the latest batch of photos proves to be true, you may be a little disappointed by what Samsung considers "Premium."
Samsung announced their 2014 tablet lineup earlier this year, and back in March we told you the biggest slate was headed to Verizon. That day has finally arrived as the Galaxy Tab 4 10.1 has just landed on Big Red.
New photos have just emerged that show the Samsung Galaxy Alpha up close and personal. It's not a render this time around, and it's the best look we've gotten at the mysterious device yet.

Repaired hull
I'm looking at a boat that appears great and now have found out that it has had a hull repair after storm damage. The repair has left it "better and stronger than new". Do I bother with a survey and keep looking into it - or run the other way? It's a freshwater boat and I'm told the damage was a hull crack - which is now not visible at all.
Fibreglass is relatively easy to repair well, if you know what you are doing. I would want to know what caused the crack initially (is it structural, accident, poor workmanship, etc.), and who fixed it (ie. professional or amateur) and how they fixed it. If professional, how long ago, and is there any guarantee/warranty on it.
I would probably also get it surveyed by an independent professional surveyor, giving the surveyor all the information about this situation. And I would also try to get a somewhat reduced price (that may not work if the job was well done, and in fact has made it better than new, but still worth a try). Let us know how it works out. Frank. |
I agree....
Definitely GET THE SURVEYOR and do a "haul and hang" check the hull, keel, rudder, bearing etc.
I seriuosly doubt that it was repaired "better than new" as most secondary repairs don't have the degree of crosslinking that occurs in a new fiberglass layup. You really need to get a good survey done and definitely get the boat hauled...
Didn't even need the boat hauled. Surveyor found too many issues for me to want to pursue it (deck moisture off the meter, sole rotting from the bottom up, engine issues, etc).
Thanks for the feedback. |

Wandy Rodriguez helps Astros blank Cardinals in back-to-back games
HOUSTON -- The St. Louis Cardinals tried to be optimistic Tuesday night after a second straight shutout left them with an 11-15 record in August and seven games behind first-place Cincinnati in the NL Central.
"It's a good thing tomorrow starts a new month," Jon Jay said. "It's September, so hopefully we can get on a roll. We just hope that this was just one bad month. Hopefully we can all stay positive and keep looking at the big picture. Tomorrow is a fresh start."Wandy Rodriguez pitched seven innings and three relievers completed the three-hitter as the Astros again beat the slumping Cardinals 3-0.Hunter Pence drove in two runs in Houston's three-run fourth inning.The Cardinals were also shut out Monday when J.A. Happ threw a two-hitter in a 3-0 win. They have dropped four straight and seven of eight."The answer is, we're trying," St. Louis manager Tony La Russa said. "The guys are working on different things, the coaches are working on different things. It's not for lack of trying or lack of adjusting. It's not lack of concentration, we're just not making it work."Tim Byrdak replaced Rodriguez (11-12) for the eighth, but was chased when he walked his first batter. Wilton Lopez finished the inning.Brandon Lyon gave up a double to Matt Holliday in the ninth and walked Skip Schumaker with two outs, but pinch-hitter Randy Winn struck out to end the game as Lyon earned his 10th save.Cardinals starter Chris Carpenter (14-5) yielded six hits and three runs with two walks in seven innings."Right now it just seems like it's everything," Carpenter said. "Right now, we pitch well and we're not hitting. We don't pitch well, we score a bunch of runs. It just seems that it is a little bit of everything, and it seems like we just can't do anything right."Pence's two-run triple that landed just behind Colby Rasmus in center field made it 2-0 in the fourth. Michael Bourn reached to start the inning on an error by Schumaker when he couldn't handle a hard-hit grounder to second. Angel Sanchez followed with a single to set up Pence's hit."With a guy like Carpenter on the mound you don't get too many opportunities to have first and second, nobody out," Pence said. "So really I was just trying to get in there and ... get Bourn to third. Fortunately I was able to find a hole."Chris Johnson's single to right field later in the inning scored Pence and made it 3-0.Rodriguez had some trouble in the first inning, walking Albert Pujols with two outs before he advanced to second on a wild pitch. The left-hander settled down to retire 10 of the next 11 batters.Rodriguez walked ex-Astro Pedro Feliz with two outs in the fourth, but the Cardinals didn't get another baserunner until Yadier Molina reached on an error by Johnson at third base to start the seventh. Rodriguez struck out Feliz before Schumaker and Brendan Ryan grounded into forceouts to end the inning.Houston's starters have a 2.16 ERA in the last 22 games and haven't allowed a run in the last 18 2/3 innings."It's becoming a nice habit to come in and say that our pitching did an outstanding job," manager Brad Mills said. "Wandy did well tonight. He's been throwing the ball extremely well for the last 2 1/2, three months, mixing his pitches extremely well and getting ahead of the hitters. He was almost textbook."Rodriguez struck out five for his 62nd career win to move past Jim Deshaies and into third place in franchise history for wins by a left-handed pitcher.Jason Castro and Pence were both tagged out at second trying to stretch singles into doubles.Game notes
Cardinals RHP Jeff Suppan (groin) will come off the disabled list Wednesday and is scheduled to start. It will be his first appearance since July 31. ... The Cardinals expect LHP Dennys Reyes (left elbow) to come off the DL on Wednesday. ... The Astros will recall OF-INF Brian Bogusevic, INF Matt Downs and LHP Wesley Wright from Triple-A Round Rock and RHP Henry Villar from Double-A Corpus to join the team on Wednesday. They will also purchase the contract of C Brian Esposito from Round Rock. ... Houston reliever Matt Lindstrom (back strain) pitched a scoreless inning in his first rehabilitation outing for Corpus Christi. ... INF Jeff Keppinger (toe) has returned to Houston after his rehab assignment and is eligible to come off the DL on Wednesday.

Older children who have a high body mass index could develop serious heart disease risks by their 16th birthday.
A study finds such children between the ages of 9 and 12 are more likely to have high blood pressure, cholesterol and blood insulin levels as teenagers.
All of those conditions are risk factors for heart disease.

Product 974/1419
• Band features members of Rank /Xerox, Total Control, Burning Sensation, and Soviet Valves
• Mastered by Mikey Young ( Eddy Current / Total Control )
• East Coast tour in August with select West Coast Dates to follow
• LP pressed in an edition of 500 complete with download codes.
• Some of the band members are Australian
• Previous hit single also available on SmartGuy Records" - SmartGuy Records
"RAT COLUMNS is a trio from San Francisco, California that generates dark, ill-fit- ting pop wanderings, introspective jangle and chime, mangled noises and various points between. The band was started by DAVID WEST (RANK/XEROS, BURNING SENSATION) in the isolated environs of Perth, Western Australia, and following a move to the northern hemisphere the trio format was happened upon with the addition of drummer/guitarist MATT BLEYLE (VIOLENT CHANGE, SPOONS, ABI YOYOS) and bassist JON YOUNG. The three recorded the LP Sceptre Hole in the second half of 2011. As on the previous four-song 7" (SmartGuy Records, 2011), JAMES VINCIGUERRA (TOTAL CONTROL, SOVIET VALVES, AIDS) contributed some drums to the effort. Sure, Sceptre Hole flies closer in to the pop sun than before, but it also keeps a toe in the murky waters of guitar noise and dour ambience. " - Revolver Mid Heaven Distro

Not all inflammation leads to pain. Despite widespread infection followed by fever, colds rarely cause pain. But when some cytokines and certain immune cells are active near pain-sensing nerves, they trigger receptors that convey pain sensations to the brain.

Skipper Hudson to miss next few games
Mark Hudson has an ankle injury that will see him miss at least two games.
He was subbed at Wolves on Sunday and has been seen wearing a brace on his foot to help the recovery.
Hudson himself tweeted he would be out for a bit but the message was deleted.
The man has been a rock at the heart of the City defence and will be missed.
City face Middlesbrough on Saturday before hosting Derby at CCS next Tuesday. Then there is a week before the next game against Leicester on March 12th. Hopefully he'll be back by then.
City's likely alternative is to play Matt Connolly in the centre with SuperKev at right back. Malky also has the option of Ben Nugent.

ya here's what i am saying heimerdinger's one of the most UP champs out there he's great for ambush and he has a blind/stun but the problem is his main focus is the 2 mini turrets for ambushing here's what i am suggesting they make his passive global to all allies and allied structures. why? here's the thing he's UP the only thing he can do that other champs can't is farm with his turrets while off the lane. Now his turrets won't last much more then 2 creep waves maybe another 2 if he uses his ult so i am suggesting they change his passive from having to be near him to being global. That way he's more useful to the team i mean at early games a 2hp/second doesn't change that much but it'll make up for his less then great abilities in a team fight. Plus the best thing is that because of this he can make sure he can farm while taking part in a fight on another lane so he'd be great for ganking. the thing ppl would love the most about him is atm his passive gives nearby allies and structures increased hp regen so with a heimerdinger on ur team basicly all ur turrets would slowly start healing themselves.
Tha Dynamite
Agreed on allies. Disagree on structures.
Ehhh... It would probably be OK, but I think it should be half effective beyond some arbitrary range. IE Being near heimer doubles the effect. If only because heimers structure regen makes it so hard to lane against him. Imagine having EVERY lane that hard to lane against.
I agree with this idea, doesn't seem bad, There becomes a point in the game where that health regen won't meen anythign anyways so why noy have it work on towers.
Kind of. Either that, or keep it aura-based, but have it scale on something nice.
Dragon Charlz
It should be global and scale with AP :P derp derp derp
Heimerdinger is hardly underpowered, he is however based on a teamplay style known as the Heal Poke strategy, where your team endlessly pokes and heals faster than the other team, eventually pushing them back to their turrets and to their nexus. In the right situation this strategy works very well and heimerdinger is a key damage dealer.
na that would be OP

Rihanna, 25, has continued to show support for ex-boyfriend Drake, 26, on social media when she tweeted and Instagrammed a photo on Sept. 30 of his recently-dropped album, 'Nothing Was the Same' — is Ri flirting with him?
Drake released his third studio album, Nothing Was The Same, on Sept. 24, and since then, a ton of people have voiced their love for it on social media — including ex-girlfriend Rihanna! What did she have to say to Drake?
Rihanna Supports Drake On Instagram — Was She Flirting?
Rihanna tweeted an Instagram on Sept. 30 that said:
Congratulations champagnepapi Excellent work!! #NWTS http://t.co/a356ccduuL — Rihanna (@rihanna) September 30, 2013
The photo she Instagrammed was of the album cover. So sweet of Rihanna! Even though the two have squashed any romantic rumors between them — for now — could Rihanna have been flirting with Drake while supporting him? Drake hasn't responded yet — but also tweeted on Sept. 29, saying:
Buy Nothing Was The Same on iTunes http://t.co/eRPhh5VT8s — Drizzy (@Drake) September 30, 2013
Drake told Ellen DeGeneres how he felt toward RiRi. on Sept. 20. "Yeah, great girl. We had our moment. Always support and have love for her," he said. But does Rihanna feel the same about him?
Rihanna Tweets Drake Lyrics From New Album
Rihanna is no stranger to supporting Drake's music via social media. As we previously reported, Rihanna sent out four tweets on Sept. 17 with lyrics from Drake's leaked album.
The highly-anticipated album dropped on Sept. 24, but it leaked early on Sept. 15 and it sounds like Rihanna has been enjoying it ever since then! "She's showing him mad love and thinks his music is genius," a source close to Rihanna told HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY. "She thinks he's great!"
She might think he's great — but does she still feel something romantic for him? Only time will tell! Until then, we're sure that Rihanna will still be enjoying Drake's album.
What do you think, HollywoodLifers? Do you think that Rihanna was flirting with Drake, or just being friendly and supportive? Sound off!

Yeah, yeah, she was tweeting about that album a few times, so what? He was very clear about her, while she simply likes the album and supports her friend. Stop trying to start something that doesn't exist, Drianna/Aubrih or whatever you call them isn't happening. Chris and Drake reconciled precisely cause Drake finally gave up on Rihanna.

text: I sometimes come across weird bugs with Katarina, and one that often occurs has to do with her ultimate. For absolutely no apparent reasons, the ultimate sometimes refresh right after it has been used - and no, neither I nor an ally killed an ennemy at that time. That being said, I did not test if I could cast it when it occured (since most of the time I was just running for my dear life). Another way more annoying bug is having her ultimate completely disabled. Let me explain: -No ennemy nearby: "You cannot cast that right now" or whatever message pops on the bottom of the screen. -Not learned yet: "You haven't learned the skill yet" -Not refreshed yet: "Bla bla bla whatever message there is" -Bug: No message pops out and it is as if the button was purely cosmetical. I tried pushing "r" hotkey, nothing happened. I tried clicking it manually, nothing happened. On the bright side, that bug doesn't last for the rest of the game. For some obscure reasons, after a few seconds, it starts working again (usually after I respawn since I died a painful and shameful death, jumping in the battle and bashing my "r" key like a ****** to no avail while sadly getting raped). Now I did check, it has nothing to do about getting silenced/stunned/knocked airborn/doing barrelrolls - it just happens. And it is not the graphic bug since I do not hear the ulti sound and I do not do any damage (usually my champ starts auto-attacking as if I did not give any order while I'm pressing 'r' again and again in a desperate, nail-crunching fashion). I have no idea how to recreate this bug. Sometimes it happens three or four times during a single game. Sometimes it never happens. Sometimes it's the first ult I use - but it doesn't seem to be the case everytime. If the following information can help (which I highly doubt): Summoner Spells: Heal/Teleport Glyphs: Full focus glyphs + dodge (yellow or green runes, whatever is the right color since I'm somewhat colorblind). EDIT: And while I'm at it, it's not lag either. I have about 80 ms and it works just fine. Same for FPS, I've lowered the graphics and it doesn't lag.

Small-business people in New England say tax reform must not dump incentives
Ten or 20 years ago, few listened to the voice of small business. Not so, today. Because of the recent recognition of the large part that small business plays in the growth of the economy, what is good for small business is considered important. Between 1980 and 1982, small businesses made a net contribution of more than 2 million jobs to the work force, according to ``The State of Small Business: a Report of the President,'' released in March of 1984.
``It has become more of a recognized sector with its own concerns,'' says Carolyn VanSant of the Small Business Association of New England (SBANE).
One of the biggest concerns of small businesses -- at least in New England, a hot growth region for small business in recent years -- is tax reform and what it might do to the precarious prosperity of many companies.
A recent survey cosponsored by SBANE and Ernst & Whinney, the accounting firm, polled 1,800 SBANE and 400 company members of the Massachusetts High Technology Council to find out the attitude of small business toward the major tax reform package proposals.
The three main tax reform proposals before Congress -- the Treasury plan (now under revision) and the Bradley-Gephardt (FAIR) and Kemp-Kasten (FAST) proposals -- would dump most of those tax incentives.
New England small business opposes this.
The burgeoning of small business in recent years has been fueled in part by tax incentives, notes James G. Maguire, head of the Boston office of Ernst & Whinney.

Calculated Misery: The Dark Side of UX Strategy
Published: February 16, 2015
When I talk to companies, customers, and colleagues about UX strategy and the importance of understanding the end-to-end customer experience, I often tell stories about seemingly trivial parts of an experience with a brand that can have huge impacts. Small things can have significant impacts on customer acquisition and loyalty—and companies often overlook or under-prioritize them. For example:
- The process of exchanging a pair of shoes to get the right size may be so cumbersome that you don't even want to bother with it.
- A meal that you have at a restaurant leaves a bad taste in your mouth—not because it wasn't delicious, but because the server was inattentive and rude.
- Navigating a company's interactive voice response (IVR) system to speak to a real person on the phone becomes a test of rage restraint, because it's so abundantly clear that they want to make it as hard as possible.

Thinking About Designing with Data
Published: February 16, 2015
As a researcher, I want to understand how technology changes people's lives, not wade through a bunch of data. Like a lot of people, I think in stories rather than numbers; in the tangible rather than the abstract. So, when I made it a goal to understand all of the data about the experiences people have with technology—not just the kinds of data that I was comfortable with—there were some big gaps in my knowledge.
First Steps
First, I had to cross the threshold of my number aversion. This wasn't too hard because, even though I love to dive into messy questions, I'm not thrilled with messy answers. I'm still relearning statistics—thanks to Khan Academy and The Cartoon Guide to Statistics—getting more confident with Excel, and gaining some basic skills in Tableau. Read more

Responsive Web Design for eCommerce Web Sites
Published: February 16, 2015
In this edition of Ask UXmatters, our panel of UX experts discusses whether responsive Web design is really necessary for ecommerce sites and some of the key elements of responsive designs.
Imagine that your company has chosen you to be part of a team that is going to design and build or update an ecommerce Web site. The budget and deadline are tight, and the boss wants to know what is the minimum that you can do to create a strong, profit-building machine. What would you tell him? Would you stay focused only on your existing desktop Web site—or if you're creating a new site, build for the desktop first—and let your mobile customers deal with it as best they can? Would you build a Web site that is somewhat different on and adapts to each type and size of device? Would you insist on developing a mobile app? And how would you plan to maintain the solution?

Review of SessionCam: User Observation 2.0
Published: February 16, 2015
Observing users interacting with software is a powerful and often under-used technique in user experience. Its power derives primarily from the frequent disjoint between what users say and what they do. UX research techniques such as surveys and interviews produce a lot of useful data, but self-reporting about behavior typically lacks accuracy. Plus, such research usually requires turnaround times of weeks, which does not fit into the fast cycle times of an agile development process. Observing users in context provides two key benefits.

Review: Online UX Courses
Published: February 16, 2015
As a UX professional, I continually learn about new UX topics through online courses, in the form of video lectures. In this review, I want to share my experiences learning from online video lectures that are available from the following learning resources: All You can Learn, Udemy, Lynda, and SkillShare. While all of these sites offer online video lectures, they tailor their lectures for different learning outcomes. Table 1 provides an overview of all of these services.
All of these sites synchronize their courses across different devices. So, if I watch a part of a virtual-seminar video on my notebook computer, then switch to my Android device, I'm able to continue watching it where I left off. Read more

Strategy Versus Tactics
Published: February 2, 2015
The idea behind my new UXmatters column, 3 x 5 UX is an idea that formed several years ago when I was preparing for a Pecha Kucha event. I wanted to document a handful of key UX concepts and share them with the UX team that I lead. Simple visualizations seemed like a promising approach. To constrain my slideware exuberance, I hit upon the idea of using 3 x 5-inch note cards and simple, hand-drawn visualizations as an expressive medium for this content. To keep my drawing skills intact, I typically use 3 x 5 cards to capture ideas, manage my daily to-do lists, and dash out quick sketches. Creating visualizations at that size for my presentation required a minimalist approach and was both challenging and fun. My team enjoyed the presentation, and I thought these cards might have value for a broader audience. Pabini Gabriel-Petit, publisher of UXmatters, agreed and 3 x 5 UX was born.

Applied UX Strategy, Part 2: The Product Designer
Published: February 2, 2015
In Part 1 of my series on UX strategy, I defined a mature design approach for the modern world. There are three levels of UX maturity:
- operational—Designers are just implementers. They work on assigned tasks and create design deliverables.
- tactical—Designers are an integral part of a product team. They deeply integrate design into other product development tasks and processes.
- strategic—Designers are visionaries or product strategists—perhaps even product managers. They influence and make strategic decisions on how to evolve a product.
Each level of UX maturity has its own challenges, goals, and limitations. These change as an organization matures. We need strong UX leaders with the clear vision and passion that are necessary to drive change and realize their goals, ensuring that their company's design culture can grow rather than falling into decline because of real-world limitations. However, UX maturity is impossible without great product designers and a strong UX design team—a great leader alone is not enough. In this article, I'll describe the role of product designers and how they pursue UX strategy. Read more

Information Architecture and Agility: A Work in Progress
Published: February 2, 2015
Despite the promise of flowering fields of innovation, efficiency, and manageable chunks of working software, you should be cautiously optimistic in applying the agile philosophy to your practice of information architecture.
One counterproductive practice in agile software development has persisted since the original publication of the Agile Manifesto: agile planning gives little regard to user experience strategy or information architecture—two pillars of sound requirements gathering. Instead, backlogs of requirements fill up with a never-ending stream of ill-informed requests that provide the basis for user stories. To accommodate the barrage of irrational objectives, information architects and other UX professionals who find themselves working in such an environment must resign themselves to becoming flexible—which means giving up any hope for coherent guidance in exchange for pure bedlam. Teams that are plagued by such strategic malpractice must develop a high threshold for pain and ambiguity. Read more

Routines on Projects: Why They Deserve More Attention
Published: February 2, 2015
In our last article, we explored the elements that make up a mature UX practice and how they apply to project teams. We also looked at some ways in which we could encourage better behaviors on projects, guide teams, and design positive experiences for people. In outlining the elements that encourage the design of a humane UX practice, we considered current and future states, an academy of learning, values and beliefs, the language that a project team uses, toolkits; soft skills, or human qualities that deserve continuous practice; spaces in which to design and validate solutions, learnings from stories; and well-understood, shared artifacts for members of project teams to use in telling their common story, independent of their role on a project.
All of this speaks to our quest to discover what a mature, holistic practice and project framework looks like; what we need to think about in designing the future of business, and the nature of a successful project team. Read more

Review: Responsive Web Design Features in Axure 7
Published: February 2, 2015
Sitting around a table in Hamburg with three German Axure trainers from Ax-Stream, our three-day mission was to design a new Axure training course focusing on Responsive Web Design (RWD) using Axure 7's adaptive features. Our goal was to produce an initial course design that we could pilot test with our other Axure trainers across Europe. More on that later!
We were working with an early beta version of Axure 7. Axure had asked us to review their new adaptive features and provide feedback regarding necessary improvements for its final release. In my prior discussions with Axure CEO, Victor Hsu, he had briefed me that Axure 7 would better address adaptive Web design than full RWD. For example, in keeping with earlier versions of Axure, there would be no support for liquid layouts, specifying positions and dimensions of Axure's widgets—what some might call screen objects or components—using percentage values, or dynamic reflowing of text within widgets as the parent window gets resized.

How will the change to QSS's interaction with surpressions being treated as leashes affect Morgana? While her ulti isn't a surpression, it can be used during the first part of her ulti to break the "leash" which ultimately results in the stun.
You say if youmuu's was good as if you want to, are, or already have adjusted it. If yes to either of these, what do you want to do with it? Make it a melee ADC related item (More then it already is) cause it gives melee ADC's the option to build Avarice blade and slightly be ahead of their ranged counterparts in terms of gold. Make it for ADCasters? Just what do you have planned for our beautiful blossom katana?
I think the big thing is that they are changing Warwick and Malz, not QSS. So any QSS questions are honestly not how they rework the item (which they likely won't) and more based on who they rework the abilities of.
I would still like to know your thoughts on Rabadons Deathcap. I personally see the item as being overly strong and dictating the build paths of many ranged APs, as it is simply a "must-have" item in most scenarios. Some mages like Brand or Rumble have the base damage necessary to get away with a tankier build that relies on magic penetration and base vales for damage instead of overwhelming AP, but it seems that all "modern" mages are forced to buy Deathcap to make their damage relevant. Do you have any plans to address this? Are you fine with the current state of mage itemization? Or would the rebalancing of mages after the change/possible removal of Deathcap be too big of a pain to justify changing it?

Fresh off its fourth Nevada opening, Grimaldi's Pizzeria has headed back east with a new unit slated to open this summer in downtown Palm Beach, Fla.
This will be the second Florida location for the Brooklyn, N.Y., staple, and the company plans to further expand throughout the Sunshine State in 2011 and 2012.
Grimaldi's, known for its coal-fired oven, has garnered more awards than any other pizzeria in the country. Its "secret recipe" sauce and handmade mozzarella cheese complement the dough, made with water tested by chemists to assure the mineral content and exact composition of Brooklyn's water, guaranteeing the product is consistent wherever the company may grow.
In addition to its New York and New Jersey locations, Grimaldi's owns and operates stores in Las Vegas, Reno, Nev., Dallas, Houston, San Antonio, Corpus Christi, Texas, and six units in Arizona. Additional locations are in the works for Texas and Nevada.
The new Florida restaurant will be open for dinner hours only, 4-11 p.m., and will offer a wide selection of beer and wine, salads, pizzas, calzones and desserts

But if you watched Sharapova's criticism of tennis academies, she said watching 10 year olds hitting groundstrokes for 6 hours a day might look impressive, but it doesnt bring out the quality of their games.
I agree with that. Caroline's style of play, is unique to her, and something that brought out her quality.
When they change things, they have to be careful to keep the quality, and it looks like she's getting it back recently. But we wont know until she's in top level draws like AO
Sharapova is right. What happened to mini tennis as a tool to promote game in young players? As for Caro I enjoyed The kremlin cup because the surface brought some equality and seemed to make the tactical game more important. Rather than increasing joint tournaments, i wonder if it wouldn't be better for the WTA to focus more on surfaces that suit the women's game better?

Though the days of couples carving their initials into treestumps and undeniable love-at-first-sight reside only in fiction, the fact is, you can't deny the appeal of falling in love while wrapping yourself in a Snuggie and slurping instant noodle soup. Online dating services allow users to construct and hide behind tippy-top versions of themselves and simultaneously lust over the photoshopped versions others. While one could argue that these websites such as OK Cupid attempt to build love from sham, statistics show that online dating was the root of 17% of last year's marriages.

I think it's less important to show range--since they will be making pretty traditional format zines--and more important just to show strong examples with good layout and intelligent writing.

Cool Hand Luke wins gold
Live updates
Hull's golden boy inspiring young athletes
Olympic gold medallist Luke Campbell will be inspiring young people in his home city later, in the hope of getting more children involved in volunteering for grassroots sports.
The children will have a chance to join a "take a pad" session with Luke, where they will meet him face-to-face and learn some expert tips on how to become an sporting star of the future.
Campbell will handle heat says promoter
Promoter Eddie Hearn believes Olympic hero Luke Campbell has all the hallmarks to become the complete package as he prepares to make his professional debut.
Almost 12 months on from taking bantamweight gold in London, Campbell returns to the ring at Hull Kingston Rovers' MS3 Craven park ground for his clash against Andy Harris, which will be his first in the full-time ranks.
"We are talking about the most successful amateur boxer ever.
There is a lot of weight on his shoulders but he's such a talented fighter and as a commercial entity and commercial brand he is exactly what we are looking for in boxing.
Eddie Hearn, boxing promoter, interviewed by Press Association Sport
Video: Luke Campbell looks ahead to pro boxing debut
It promises to be a huge night of boxing in Hull tomorrow as the city's favourite son returns to action. Olympic champion Luke Campbell hasn't stepped into the ring since he won gold last summer, but tomorrow he'll make his professional debut when he takes on little known opponent Andy Harris.
And after a year in which he's danced on ice and been given an MBE from the Queen, Luke says he's glad to be back doing what he does best.

Luke Campbell weigh-in before tomorrow's fight
Olympic champion Luke Campbell is attending his pre-fight weigh-in today. Campbell, who makes his professional fighting debut in Hull this weekend, faces boxer Andy Harris at Craven Park on Saturday night.
Luke Campbell: I've been "training hard" for first pro fight
New ring for Luke Campbell's first pro fight
A boxing ring is being constructed at Craven Park in Hull ahead of Luke Campbell's first professional bout in his gome city at the weekend.
The Olympic champion is expected to step out in front of 7,000 fans for his first pro debut against Andy Harris.
His fans are expecting him to put on a show - and win.
He will be talking about the pressures he faces at a press conference later today.
Campbell's first pro opponent revealed
Olympic boxing gold medallist Luke Campbell's first professional opponent will be 30 year old Gloucester fighter Andy Harris. Harris has won 2 of his last 3 fights, and is promising to give Campbell a proper test in front of a huge hometown crowd in Hull.
Campbell's debut is part of a stellar line-up at Hull KR's Craven Park. Unbeaten Sheffield welterweight Kell Brook faces a rematch aginst the dangerous American Carson Jones, and Hull's Tommy Coyle takes on Liverpool's Derry Mathews for the vacant Commonwealth lightweight title.
Campbell's fellow Olympic medallist Anthony Ogogo boxes for the fourth time in the pro ranks, and is joined on the undercard by Beverly's Curtis Woodhouse, and young Hull talents Joel Haigh and Zak Collins.
Hull boxer Luke Campbell takes part in open training day
Members of the public are invited to a press conference with Hull boxer Luke Campbell today. It is being held at the Mortimer Gallery Suite in Hull City Hall ahead of Luke's professional debut. Luke will take part in an open training session and there will be a photo opportunity for fans as well.
