UPDATE: Thank you everyone for all of your great feedback! Here is some more info based on comments thus far.
*** Once you unlock the "MP3 from URL" feature, you can use any public URL that returns an MP3. Since the file has to be public, music on your own computer will not work. Also, HTML pages and YouTube videos will not work because they do not return an MP3 file. Most URL's will actually end in .mp3, but as long as the URL returns the MP3 data, any URL should work. If a valid MP3 file fails the first time, trying again may fix the problem.
*** For example, to play audio from Newgrounds Audio Portal, you just need to replace the XXXXXX in the following URL with the Newgrounds ID of the song you want: www.newgrounds.com/audio/
*** The music in the game is by Isaac Shepard and is from his album "Deep Joy".
*** NEW iPhone Version: Music Catch is now available for your iPhone. Check it out! /www.musiccatchgame.com
I'm so freaking in love with this beautiful game, i played it on all of my favorites websites and i have this game in my Tumblr either *-*♥
OMG you have no idea how long I've been searching for this!!!
Everything's great, with the exception of the URL song. It'd just be better if it let you use youtube/soundcloud links instead of having to search for mp3 urls.
Oh well. At least you can use newgrounds music.
No matter how many times I played it, I can always come back for more.
The music and the gameplay are really good and the option to play songs from URLs is great too.
Although this song is a different kind of music, I think it fits perfectly in this game, try it out fellas.

The most common mistakes in using the quotient rule come in imprecision with subtracting more than one log. This happens when the bottom of the fraction is a product: that product will be re-written as a sum, but that entire quantity is subtracted. Be extremely careful with distributing negatives, because a small mistake in a plus or minus can have a big impact on your expanded form.

Swansea have denied making an offer for Utrecht winger Edouard Duplan and have insisted he is just one of many players that have been mentioned.
Utrecht director Wilco van Schaik was quoted as saying earlier this week that the Premier League club had submitted a bid that was rejected.
However, Swans chairman Huw Jenkins has now set the record straight by insisting that there has been no approach.
Duplan has a year left on his Utrecht contract and Jenkins admits that Swansea know about his situation, but says that they are considering numerous options.
"We haven't submitted any bid to Utrecht, I don't know where this story has come from," he said in the South Wales Evening Post.
"As a club we're aware of him but he is only one of a host of players that have been mentioned."

Rumor: Fantastic Four Movie Scrapped? Fox Issues Denials
By Eric Diaz on March 14, 2014
Despite having announced the main four cast members, and despite releasing a shortlist of actors for Dr. Doom, Bleeding Cool has just reported that according to their well-placed sources, Twentieth Century Fox has dumped Fantastic Four director Josh Trank and the script by Simon Kinberg and are actively looking for replacements for the cast. All a mere six months before they are due to shoot, for 2015 release. Fox has issued a firm denial to Slashfilm, as well as Badass Digest, but…this wouldn't be the first time a studio lied to save face, let's be honest.
So for argument's sake, let's assume this rumor turns out to be true, which I'm having a hard time believing with this much casting already done, and no doubt this far into pre-production, but regardless of denials let's just assume. What could this mean? Well, it could mean that the throng of racist disgruntled internet commenters has made the executives at Fox nervous. There has been an outpouring of negative feedback around the young cast ever since they were announced, mostly due to fanboys having a collective amnesia about the entire run of Mark Millar's Ultimate Fantastic Four comics from about a decade ago, on which this is clearly based. It would mean they would have to go back to square one, after all this money was spent. Of course, they could also be terrified of the 2015 release date. We've already seen Batman vs. Superman and a couple other movies run scared from that overcrowded summer, but what summer isn't overcrowded?
Fox was long seen as the bane of fanboy's existence during the Tom Rothman regime; he was said to (allegedly) "not get" superhero movies, and the success of X-Men took him by total surprise. He's the guy that nixed Sentinels in X2, turned Galactus into a cloud for Rise of the Silver Surfer, and pretty much gave Fox the worst reputation in town when it came to being creator friendly. But then a couple years back, Fox started to seemingly make a turnaround with their genre properties; both Rise of the Planet of the Apes and X-Men: First Class ended up pretty darn good, and The Wolverine continued the streak. (Rothman left Fox in 2012) But could we be back to the micro-managing, lowest common denominator days of Fox were this to pan out? Unless this was SUPER close to the expiration date for Fox with the Fantastic Four license (which I actually think is 2017) there wouldn't really be a reason to get excited about this maybe meaning Marvel Studios will get the property back like with Daredevil. Personally I hope this rumor is false, because I really actually want to see what Trank comes up with for the Marvel's first family.
Now this was unexpected, if true. I don't actually know what to think. I was not so impressed with the casting of Thing, but Richard seemed fine and whole thing shouted "Ultimate Fantasctic Four" which was pretty good. Doctor Doom actors were bit underwhelming, only good contestant was Eddie Redmyne.
What could this mean? New cast, but without thinking it long enought could lead to disaster, or does Marvel want the right to himself? I'm hoping for the last one.
I like how you just assume that if someone wants to keep Johnny Storm white because, I don't know, he's always been white, is racist. If anything, making a classic central character black for the soul purpose of diversity and political correctness is by far more racist. I believe that if they make a Cloak and Dagger movie and they make Cloak white, there would be the same response from the fans.
My suggestion, know who the fan boys are before you insult them, especially by calling them racist.
Stop being a racist Krayhayft.
If the only reason you want him to be white is because "he's always been white," that makes you shortsighted. The only defense is if there is something intrinsic about the character that depends on his race…in this case? um no
Being "disgruntled" over the casting of an African American actor as Johnny Storm is not racist, and assuming that is ridiculous. Sue and Johnny are siblings, for that to work you have to change the origin story which fans get upset about.
I agree with Krayhayft. Just because someone is against changing the race of a central character doesn't make them a racist. It just means they want to stick to the source material.
Ill be the four millionth person to point out that Johnny Storm's race has never been central to his character. Yes, he and Sue are siblings, but for fucks sake that doesn't mean they have to be the same race. Adoption, parents re-marrying, and mixed race couples are fairly common occurrences in society today that could all be plausible reasons for two siblings to look ethnically different but still be family. So shut up. Maybe you dont see it as racism. Maybe you're just prejudice towards "unconventional" families. Or maybe you are just taking shit way too seriously. In any case people against the casting choices are spreading hate. There is absolutely nothing about Johnny Storm's character that relies on him being a white dude. Get over it already.
More to the point, I hope this rumor is false. I have high expectations for a reboot of the first family, who I've been a fan of for as long as I've been reading comics, and I'd hate to see all of the work they've done on this new film be scrapped and replaced with a rushed, hastily produced movie instead.
But either way I'll be seeing this movie, whatever version we end up with, on opening day.
So if it doesn't MATTER what race he is… why does he HAVE to be black this time? He never was before. What has changed to make him look different than in 45 years worth of comic book stories? Why argue in favor of a black Johnny Storm if it doesn't matter?
I don't think it's ever been about racial diversity. Michael B Jordan is a great actor and could possibly be the best actor for the job. I'll take better acting over choosing someone because of their race any day.
Have you even looked at what's coming out in 2015? There will be movies that will have poor box office receipts just BECAUSE it's coming out in 2015. And that summer is a fracking gauntlet.
If the Fantastic Four fans aren't excited about this movie (and from what I understand, the Ultimate FF isn't exactly well received) I can completely understand Fox getting nervous about this.
Going back to Marvel would be best, but that doesn't mean they couldn't get Trank, right? If he got fired, Marvel could pick him up…
I didn't have a problem with Jordan being cast, I liked the idea. The problem I had with the other male cast members was that they seemed to be too young for the characters they were supposed to be portraying.
With many people recently getting excited over the possible death of the Ultimate Universe in comics (which didn't happen). It would probably be a better bet to model the movie after the 616 FF rather than the Ultimate FF. Let's be honest, while the Ultimate universe was exciting for awhile, even comic book fans got tired of that universe. All racism and agism aside, there is a reason why the 616 lasted so long, it's because it's good. While I don't mind a few elements of other Marvel Universes finding there way into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, I always prefer it when they stay closer to the 616.
couple of points
1. the rights revert back this year if fox doesn't hit certain dates.
2. i have no problem with johnny storm being black, my problem is with the fact that we didn't even hear rumors about making sue storm black.
3. i hope this is true. i haven't seen chronicle so i don't know of trank's work but i don't trust fox. first class was only ok and the ff isn't looking so hot. the sooner the rights to ff (which include silver surfer, galactus, and a bunch of aliens) go back to marvel, the better. -
I didn't have an issue with black Johnny, as MBJ would be great. I just don't want some weird alternate back story for he and Sue. How cool would it be if Sue was played by Kerry Washington? Why change the family and take up time explaining the biracial/adoption/step sibling crap when you cold cast them as standard siblings regardless of race? The story doesn't need added back story. We know the origin story. This is a freaking reboot. Just tell a fully new story.
By the way I agree with Krayhayft. And I'm colored man.
So, let me get this straight… To not want Johnny Storm to be portrayed as a black guy when he is traditionally a white guy in comics is racist, but back when M. Night Shyamalan cast a white kid to play Aang in the Last Airbender despite Aang traditionally being Asian and people complained, that was justified? I believe I would file that under double standards.
I wouldn't like the character any less black or white but what I'm not clear on is why do they want to change his race is it to draw more black fans? If that's the case then make black comic book character movies there's some great black characters. Black Panther would be a good one Luke Cage too. I'm excited to see The Falcon in Winter Soldier the action looks awesome. I'm not a big fan of movie makers thinking they have the right to mess with characters and costumes because as far as I'm concerned they usually screw it up. If they changed Johnny Storm in the comics I'd find that more acceptable because the comics know how to do it unlike Hollywood.
So I think for the next Batman movie they should cast a red-headed, left-handed lesbian to play the Dark Knight. They should also have a big pair of lipstick covered lips painted on the front of the Batmobile too, with a pair of fuzzy dice hanging from the rear-view mirror. Oh, and if you don't like it, piss off homophobes. I mean, seriously, who pays attention to canon anyway? A bunch of homophobic haters, that's who.
Ugh. Thank you. I've expressed my sentiments on Tumblr about my hesitations of race-bending Johnny Storm and I've got nothing but hate for it. (Then again, it's Tumblr, and they can find anything offensive). It's not racist to want a character to stay true to the original material. It's an adaptation for chrissakes. True, being white isn't an inherent or defining trait for Johnny, but he just is. I'd be equally upset if say, they cast a white guy to play Falcon in Cap 2 (and you just know people will raise hell for that, double standards much?). It's textbook Hollywood race wank, stirring up shit to be more controversial. No thanks.
FOX doesn't care, right? They just want people to see this thing?
I'll tell you this, if they did "normal" bad moves, people would be apathetic to it, like the last 2 Fantastic Four movies. If they made good moves; obviously, that would be preferred, but it would likely still be boring – the Fantastic Four aren't an exciting, top-tier, superhero team. But when FOX makes moves that are this specific kind of bad? Oh, people will see this FOR SURE. First weekend, at least.
It's the same appeal people get from watching any other disaster; you just want to see how bad it looks. So at least FOX has that. This is almost like a "Lone Ranger", where everyone just wants to see how much of a disaster this will be. Unlike Lone Ranger though, there's genuine curiosity out there regardless, so if it actually turns out to be good, it could surprise people and perform… okay.
I'm not buying this rumor. Exciting to hear though. Any rumor and/or announcement is just more fuel for FOX's "hype fire", right? Something the Fantastic Four reboot will desperately need. There's very little chance people will talk about it because it looks awesome.
Needless to say, I don't think it's going to be good – I also don't subscribe to the "It's based on Ultimate Fantastic Four" line that very few people seem to use to defend it, you guys included right here. The only similarity there is how youthful Reed Richards looks; you can't seriously look at the cover to a Mark Millar F4 and then look at this cast and say, "they nailed it".
Also, Krayhayft's line up at the top there, in the second response:
"If anything, making a classic central character black for the SOUL [emphasis added] purpose of diversity and political correctness is by far more racist. "
I'm pretty sure using the word, "soul" when talking about black people instead of "sole" like you actually needed there? That's gotta be racist
Let's talk about sticking to the source material. Nick Fury was originally a white guy. For decades. Marvel rebooted Fury to look exactly like Samuel L. Jackson and so far, it's worked out well for them.
The freakouts over MBJ being cast as Johnny Storm are no different than the casting freakouts for Heimdall and Hogun in the Thor films. Why would it be so hard to accept a black or Asian actor as an Asgardian? And why is a black Human Torch controversial? It would be super easy for Sue Storm's parents to want another child and find out they can't have any more, so they adopt Johnny as a baby. Or they knew his parents and when some terrible tragedy happened they became his guardians and he took their name. It's not that far-fetched or unrealistic.
If this movie gets scrapped, it won't be because of the casting. That's a convenient excuse. It will be for something behind the scenes that we aren't privy to.
You know they originally wanted to cast Will Smith as Captain Kirk in the Star Trek reboot, right?
Racist Nerds Assemble!
Battle Cry: "I'm not racist but…"
You want to know which Fox film did an excellent job with racial diversity? X-Men, DOFP.
Between Sunspot, Storm, Bishop, Warpath, Blink, along with painted character like Beast & Mystique being analogues for the discriminated members of society, Fox's X-Men seem to be doing a much better job at what they've set out to do with FF.
The problem I have personally with what they did with FF was in complicating the Storms siblings situation. Half assing it & not going ahead and make a full 1/2 of the Fantastic Four be African American is probably what's rubbing most folks the wrong way.
Why complicate the movie adaptation needlessly? Adopted kids & adults already have X-Men characters to identify with.
I'm just personally not a fan of enforcing Michael B Jordans' minority status in the movie by having him be the lone black guy in the family. And by having his sister be WHITE??? That's almost like saying "We're so not yet ready to for this that we felt the need to keep Susan Caucasian." It's asinine.
Either go big or go home. Don't deviate too much from the spirit of the source material.
For everyone who keeps saying Sue and Johnny are siblings: it was established that Johnny was adopted. Do your research!
No, Chuck Campbell, he wasn't. How about doing your own research, or not making stuff up just to sound superior.
Just brainstorming… I think the entire FF family should be any color but white to reflect futuristic 31st century ideas about what most people will one day look like. Sue Storm could also be transgender and Johnny Storm could be a cyborg. Dr. Doom could be a Native American space colony reservation chief, played by a CG Marlon Brando. And let's make the Silver Surfer… a metallic pink female bobsledder. After all, the silver color, gender, and surfing has never been central to his/her character. Galactus could have several wives that like to devour the moons of planets and the occasional shooting star. Rainbow Hulk could also make a cameo appearance! It might make money, but only as the worst 3D movie ever made. It could be Marvel's superhero version of The Producers.
Ugh. This has already been debunked by SEVERAL far more reputable websites, other than Slashfilm and BAD, than Bleeding Cool. It doesn't deserve discussion or further spreading. We need to stop promoting bad journalism.
It's sad how badly some people want this production to fail.
To all of you who are saying "but but but he's always been white" you are infact racist. To the guy talking about white kid playing Aang, also incredibly racist.
I believe MANY of you are mistaken, callin' out fanboys as racist for them wanting the MOVIE to stay true to the COMIC canon. The guy who made the lesbian batman comment couldn't have been any more spot on. If you want to point out a racist statement, it would probably sound something more along the lines of "There ain't no niggers in the Fantastic Four". THAT would be an f'n racist comment, NOT crap such as "I don't like the casting choice and they're trying to reach out more to a minority crowd". Get your shizzle straight. (See, I'm willing to bet you've also never read any jive talk in a FF comic, nor was Johnny Storm incarcerated for being a juvenile delinquent. If you're going to change characters, you gotta keep it realistic and stick with the accompanying baggage, right? Oh, and the FF have also always used proper grammar in the comics. I bet that would totally change on the big screen with skin tone-tweakin'. Just sayin')
I have zero plans to see the movie and am very disappointed with how they chose to use the source material and it isn't because I am a racist. Also to be honest I don't know anybody who read the Ultimate Fantastic Four. They should scarp it and start over.
it's simple I'll do the same thing I did for double Daredevil I just won't go see it I didn't agree with kingpin being black I don't agree with giant Johnny storm being black and I don't agree with ben affleck its being Batman oh wait that's a separate issue
It's not really a separate issue if you are just saying that you want the actors to be right for the role. Is Affleck right for Batman? Much could be argued against that.
"If the only reason you want him to be white is because "he's always been white," that makes you shortsighted. The only defense is if there is something intrinsic about the character that depends on his race…in this case? um no"
Oh, you mean aside from his white sister?
That's idiotic, though. So would it be okay, then, for Blade to be turned into a white character? After all, there's nothing in his story that depends on race. Why not turn War Machine white? His story isn't dependent on his being black, either. Maybe Bishop could've been cast with a white actor, too. He's not dependent on being black either.
Johnny Storm has to be white because the character is white. The more you change the character the less he's Johnny Storm and becomes a new character, in which case what's the point of making a FANTASTIC FOUR movie? Just invent new characters and be done with it. It certainly worked with The Incredibles. By that argument, you may as well argue that the Human Torch could become Jeannie Storm, Sue's sister. Or that Johnny Storm could be played by Peter Dinklage. After all, according to your argument, there's nothing about the character that's dependent on height. Changing the characters, unsurprisingly enough, CHANGES them. It means they're no longer the characters they're supposed to be, in which case why're they even making a movie about the Fantastic Four if they're not going to use the actual Fantastic Four?
It's insulting and incredibly narrow minded to label people as racist for not wanting an iconic comic character to be completely changed for the movie. It also reveals that some people don't really know what the word racist even means. I love comics and just want to see them done properly with the costumes, hairstyles, personalities.. all like they are in the books. If Johnny Storm were black, I'd want him to be black. If he were from Pakistan, I'd want an actor who is actually from Pakistan to play the part. Am I racist for wanting things to be as they appear in the comic in the first place? No, just a lover of the source material.
[…] The Robin Custody Hearing, and Sony's Spiderman plans sinking like a stone, and even Fox attracting some concern over their plans for a Fantastic Four movie, all while the last string of films from Marvel made a mint and made waves, proving there is plenty […]
[…] from the studio's track record with the property, I am not optimistic. Especially considering the rumors swirling around the project that Fox big-wigs wanted to pull the plug on the film last year and had to push back its release […]

On average, it adds up to 30 hours and 15 minutes a month. That fact hasn't missed the attention of CMOs around the country.

10 Most Famous Casino Movies
Casinos are a great backdrop for movies. With instant drama, huge sums of money changing hands, a truly eclectic variety of characters around and an opulent and glamorous setting, there's rarely a dull moment either visually or emotionally for viewers.
Although there are dozens of movies that use casinos as a setting in some way, shape or form, these 10 films (in no particular order) stand out as the most memorable.
Oceans 11 (1960, 2001)
The 2001 remake of oceans 11 is the one most refer to now, but the 1960 original is also a cinematic touchstone in its own right. Sequels Oceans 12 and Oceans 13 also make the grade, although don't quite capture the magic of the originals.
Casino (1995)
you can't really talk about casino movies without mentioning Casino, starring Hollywood icons Robert DeNiro and Joe Pesci. The movie harkens back to a casino era that is long gone and somewhat romanticized, but still a nice place to visit on the screen.
Casino Royale (1967)
The recent Daniel Craig remake is more appealing for action fans, but the original 1967 sets the bar higher for the true cinephile. The gambling scenes at Casino Royale also stand out, as does the Oscar-nominated original song written by Burt Bacharach.
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (1998)
While not a "casino movie" per se, Fear and Loathing is one of Thompson's most infamous works and is perhaps one of the best encapsulations of what casinos (and subsequently Las Vegas) are all about – the pursuit of the "American Dream."
National Lampoon's Vegas Vacation (1997)
National Lampoon's Vegas Vacation is the fourth film starring the hapless Griswold family, headed by well-intentioned but bumbling patriarch Clark. The Mirage was the major filming location. Unfortunately though, rock-paper-scissors and heads-or-tails are not offered at the casino in real life.
The Hangover (2009)
This is when you know your Vegas bachelor party has gone too far: You wake up with Mike Tyson's tiger in the bathroom, a six-month-old baby in the closet and no idea where the groom is. It happens in The Hangover, one of the best comedy films in the last couple of years.
Rounders (1998)
Rounders is universally accepted as the best poker movie of all time, and rightly so. It stars Matt Damon as poker player. It truly sets the bar for gambling films when it comes to both scriptwriting and acting. It's the gamble that counts, after all.
Showgirls (1995)
A decidedly different look at the Casino lifestyle through the eyes of Nomi a troubled girl who comes to Las Vegas to become a high-class showgirl. Great film? No. Universally veiled for its seamy sexuality and vulgarity.
21 (2008)
21 is the true story of a team of nerds from MIT that took Las Vegas for millions with an intricate system of signals and card counting.
Hard Eight (1997)
Bit of a sleeper film with a depressing, noir undertone and a great cast including Philip Baker Hall, John C. Reilly, Gwyneth Paltrow and Samuel L. Jackson. An interesting take on the casino/gambling world as well as it's primarily set in Reno – almost the antithesis to Vegas when it comes to glitz and glamor.

As much as I like movies and casinos, I have not seen Hard Eight, 21 or Showgirls. Of the other casino movies listed I like the Hangover best. National Lampoon's Vegas Vacation was funny in it's day, best Rounders was better!

I would probably say casino is the best casino movie of the movies listed. Really love that movie!

Guess the author has not been to the Peppermill lately when talking about glitz. Sure, Reno is not glitzy compared to Las Vegas, but compared to other places it is. I talked to a lady from Chicago who was thrilled to be at John Ascuaga's Nugget because there were no hotels like that in Chicago, regardless of all the tall buildings in Chicago!

Stylish toaster that works well
By grknurse1982
from Tampa, FL
Wonderful toaster with large enough slots to toast anything. It heats evenly and toast comes out perfect. Like the panel that pops out of the bottom, very easy to get rid of crumbs. Only thing that I wish were different is the stainless steel portion on the outside of the toaster is a little bit difficult to keep clean but otherwise a great toaster.

Graham Gives O'Neill 'Options'
Sunderland legend Michael Gray says Danny Graham will give Martin O'Neill plenty of options as the Black Catstry and find a winning formula.
Michael Gray: "I think he's a great addition to the squad, he's a goal scorer and somebody who can take the weight off Steven Fletcher's shoulders, who has obviously had a great season so far.
"We've got great wide players in [Adam] Johnson, [Seb] Larsson, [James] McLean and even Stephane Sessegnon, so we need to give our centre forwards an opportunity and give ourselves a chance to win games.
"It's always great for me to come back to the Stadium of Light; I love the fantastic atmosphere it always brings.
"I think if Danny goes out and plays his normal game he'll be fine, because I think he's a very good player."

U.S. Solar Producers To Host Webinar To Detail Mechanics Of Trade Remedy Duties
The Coalition for American Solar Manufacturing (CASM), comprised of more than 220 solar-industry employers of more than 18,000 U.S. workers, will offer a public webinar at 2 p.m. EDT (11 a.m. PDT) next Thursday, Aug. 9, to provide an overview of the ongoing anti-dumping and anti-subsidy cases against Chinese producers of solar cells and panels and to highlight potential pitfalls for solar importers and purchasers.
To access the webinar, titled "Understanding the Mechanics of Import Duties from the Solar Trade Cases," industry participants and observers are invited to log onto http://goo.gl/oN9OZ, then use the password SOLAR. Participants are encouraged to log into the webinar five minutes early to ensure they can complete registration by the session start time.
Among other things, the webinar will highlight the various ways in which anti-dumping and anti-subsidy duty margins can increase unexpectedly, creating an "open-ended contingent liability" for importers of Chinese cells and panels, according to CASM. The webinar also will address the scope of the trade cases and the domestic industry's request that all Chinese crystalline silicon solar cells and panels be subject to duties. In particular, according to CASM, U.S. trade laws do not allow Chinese companies to escape duty liability by making minor alterations to their products or by completing or assembling them in a third country.
In addition, the webinar will discuss the role and enforcement powers of U.S. Customs and Border Protection in collecting duties and in detecting possible duty evasion and circumvention activities. U.S. law provides civil and criminal penalties for fraud, negligence, and failure to exercise reasonable care related to the importation of products subject to duties, according to CASM. It also is illegal, CASM says, for a U.S. importer to be reimbursed by the seller for anti-dumping and anti-subsidy duties.
With CASM's support, SolarWorld Industries Americas Inc. filed its trade cases on Oct. 19, 2011. As a result, the Department of Commerce based its anti-dumping investigation on the prior two quarters, the second and third quarters of 2011. On May 27, 2012, Commerce published a preliminary determination that triggered collection of duties ranging between about 31 percent and 250 percent on the value of Chinese solar imports back to Feb. 25, 2012. Commerce will issue its final anti-dumping determination on Oct. 9, 2012.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Who is Isaac Redman?

Who is Isaac Redman?
I was reading Jim Wexell's twitter and found this:
jimwexell: Correct goal line report: Mendenhall stopped twice, Tank stopped twice, scored once,
scored twice. Shouldn't tweet during Tomlin talk
New short-yardage hopeful?
SteelCityInsider.com Aug 9, 2009
UNITY TWP. The star of Sundays goal-line scrimmage wasnt drafted, but Isaac Redman signed with the Steelers ...
... afterward, even though they had Willie Parker, Rashard Mendenhall, Mewelde Moore and the just-drafted Frank The Tank Summers to play tailback.
Why did Redman pick this team?
This team picked me, said Redman. They were the only team that really wanted me. I was kind of under the radar, nobody really knew too much about me, and its a blessing to be on the best team out there. I hope to make the most of it.
He did on Sunday. Redman scored two touchdowns on two carries from the 1-yard line, and he was the fullback for Summers touchdown run, to help account for all three of the touchdowns in the offenses seven tries Sunday. Of course, Redman worked against the second team. The first team defense stuffed Mendenhall twice and Summers once.
If theres disappointment in Mendenhall not scoring behind fullback Sean McHugh against a mountain of humanity caused by the offense using three tight ends and a fullback without a receiver there should be equal satisfaction in the success of Redman, the 6-0, 230-pound rookie free agent out of Bowie State.
Redman doesnt pop the pads like Frank The Tank, but he has better leg drive, which became apparent during a brief short-yardage run scrimmage held in the middle of practice. It was a tune-up for the end-of-practice goal-line drill, in which Redman starred. He was asked if hed been the short-yardage runner at Bowie State.
I pretty much did all the running: short yardage, long yardage, whatever, said the former New Jersey state prep wrestling (215 pounds) champ.
With 3,300 yards, Redman is the all-time leading rusher as a Bulldog at Bowie State, a Division II school in Petersburg, Va. Redmans best season was 2005 when he set a school record with 1,512 rushing yards.
Redman redshirted in 2006 and played in only 13 games the last two seasons because of injuries and academic issues. He scored 36 rushing touchdowns in college, and his toughness throughout the first week of camp drew the attention of the coaching staff, even though Coach Mike Tomlin had trouble remembering is name and called him Barlow because he runs like former Pitt star Kevan Barlow.
He calls me Bowie State, Bulldog, Barlow, Redman said. Anythings good right now. But he does know my name. Weve had some talks.
With Parker recovering from Saturday morning back spasms, Tomlin thought it time to give Redman a chance under the overhyped media scrutiny of the goal-line drill. The Steelers told Redman on Saturday night hed get some carries. Obviously, after last years troubles, Tomlin is looking for a short-yardage back.
Yeah, Im looking to be him, Redman said. The more you can do give them a reason to keep me around. Id be the water boy if they asked me to. Whatever they need me to do.
Tomlins public reaction?
Its too early to tell, he said. Im not going to make any judgments after what I looked at today. You guys know thats not my style.

"We're not going to turn our backs on him," Ward said. "We're going to treat him like our brother. We're going to accept him back and be very supportive of him and help him get through this. In this locker room, he's still our quarterback."

kernel Heart, or core, of the Unix operating system. Called the traffic cop since it is responsible for managing all the elements that make up the system. Manages the interface between user programs and input/output system. Only portion of the Unix operating system which interacts with the hardware. Therefore, the only part of Unix which is modified for use by different computers.
interrupt Either a hardware- or software-generated signal that causes a temporary break in the normal flow, or context, of a running system. When an interrupt is detected, the kernel blocks off (and thus prevents) lower priority interrupts, saves the context of the process being run and services the interrupt. After servicing the interrupt, the kernel restores the process context and resumes execution. If the interrupt detects an error condition, e.g., a divide by zero, the kernel may simply abort the process and select another for execution. or use interpreter, which you already have; use any two that fit.

As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

Pullman defiant over US protests against Northern Lights

Pullman defiant over US protests against Northern Lights
By Alison Flood
Philip Pullman has revealed he was delighted to discover his novel Northern Lights was one of the most "challenged" titles of the year in America, with numerous calls made to have it removed from libraries.
Pullman's children's novel, which is sold as The Golden Compass in the US, was the fourth most challenged book in 2007, according to the American Library Association, which received 420 formally submitted complaints to libraries or schools over "inappropriate content and subject matter" last year.
Writing for guardian.co.uk this morning, Pullman said his immediate response on hearing the latest figures from the ALA was "glee".
"Firstly, I had obviously annoyed a lot of censorious people, and secondly, any ban would provoke interested readers to move from the library, where they couldn't get hold of my novel, to the bookshops, where they could," Pullman said, pointing to previous objections to the film of The Golden Compass, which he said resulted in soaring book sales.
It's a point given added weight by a promotion featuring censored books currently running at Borders bookshops. According to one of the chain's buyers, Rob Hughes, it has been"very successful", generating considerable interest in books which have been banned around the world in the past.
"It's a way of measuring the morals of today against those of yesterday," he said, adding that Borders have no plans to include books by Philip Pullman in the promotion.
Northern Lights, the first in Pullman's bestselling Dark Materials trilogy, came in on the ALA list behind Justin Richardson and Peter Parnell's And Tango Makes Three, Robert Cormier's The Chocolate War and Kevin Henkes' Olive's Ocean.
Northern Lights was challenged over its "religious viewpoint", the ALA said.
Pullman said that banning a book on religious grounds was "the worst reason of the lot".
"Religion grants its adherents malign, intoxicating and morally corrosive sensations. Destroying intellectual freedom is always evil, but only religion makes doing evil feel quite so good," he said.
This week marks the ALA's 27th annual Banned Books Week, which sees libraries and bookshops across the US running events intended to raise awareness of book censorship.

In front of a packed crowd during his panel titled "My Two Years with Dawkins, Christ and a Small Crab Called Eric" at Comic-Con International in San Diego, artist, writer and indie filmmaker Dave McKean recounted two recent life events on radically opposite ends of the philosophical spectrum: an all-ages book he illustrated with scientist and Atheism proponent Richard Dawkins called "The Magic of Reality," and a film he shot starring Michael Sheen in Port Talbot, Wales called "The Gospel of Us," a modern day interpretation of "The Passion" story chronicling Jesus Christ's final days of life on Earth.

I get a lot of creative sparks, so if any rioter might want an idea I'll just throw this down real quick. I feel like the fun concepts of Shaco are tricking people with your Clone/Using it to potentially 2v1 somebody. His other two core aspects are his boxes and his stealth. What I think should happen is that his E is scrapped completely for an interesting stealth mechanic. Instead of having his on hit slow, or a ranged slow ability. I think he should have sort of a moving Twilight shroud but it'd be his orange smoke that follows him. Whatever size would make this mechanic balanced is up in the air, but basically it'll follow him at like 0.8 of his speed or something. The cool part about the mechanic as that you wouldn't know where he is inside the smoke, and his clone would stealth while inside of it as well. Now, getting rid of his gap closer completely would also thematically ruin his kit. My personal idea for a solution to this would be giving him a gap closer without the stealth. I think he should get a lock on gap closer that on enemy champions applies an auto attack that crits, keeping similar mechanics. I also think he should be able to use this ability to jump to allies/units keeping him relatively mobile because his old gap closer was free cast. I don't really know what to say about his boxes, there a pretty controversial mechanic. Put to very good use when stacking them for objectives. Then they could be toxic and unfun when used to kill a champion walking onto 5 boxes. Maybe bonus damage to all creeps, or just neutral mobs and then having a limit on the amount being on the map. Just something I thought of, maybe you'll read this idk.
I personally think Shaco is decent where he is. removal of oracles is a buff for him. lower respawn times beginning mean Gank>Closest Camp>Gank making his early game not very different, just less snowball and, you have to farm a little more. But here are my problems, His passive can be quite strong ,but how would you get kills otherwise? they would have no worries to just run if that passive didn't exist and, If you think about it its one of the few things that scale well late game for him. Boxes are near useless after stacking especially, late game, with no heath scaling, they get instakilled by anything stronger than lesser wraith. Idea: Buff to be decent and make only 2 or even 1 exist on the map at the same time. Blink is almost nonexistent. You have to hug trees to get past them and even then It might not work. Idea:buff flash and give some blink back. Im perfectly content removing the slow and minion dodge on his E I would be fine as just a regular skillshot (from what Ive seen and done its used more of a last hit anyway.) Please don't remove the poison on it though. since he is so squishy it is his alternative to towerdivng. His ult is pretty much fine where it is used to 1v1,Initiate and just MindF*** removing the bugs will do. Possibly helping his clear speed would be useful but i usually go, Dorans pots, Mobility/Beserkers,Shiv,Infinity, BotRK/Hydra and once you get shiv you can clear at a decent speed. Just fix the bugs and leave the jester be. Btw I bought him when I was noob so I have grown used to him and I got him because I love his theme.

Shaco Is not fine the XP nerf on red and blue and the more complex jungle makes his early invade a very risky move that will most likely fail and lead to falling behind. Split pushing is his only alternative and that can only happen if he plays high risk high reward Gank heavy early game in a world where wards be plentiful. All the lanes have to do to counter him is buy an extra ward to cover most entrances(he can no longer make the crazy wall hops that eused to make his ganks so nice and unpredictable) witch is bad considering if he dares to not snowball GG game over 4v5. The frigen Buffs still dont get copied on his clone (FK you wtf) He cant out splitpush Jax, Kayle, Darius(cant even gank this one omg so risky), and other late game champs so why even bother with him if thats the only thing he can do he aint even the best at it. Fix him? Why not just up that scaling and make his boxes activate on cast if there is something in range? and fix the damn clone Buff issue it undermines the hole point of the Ult. Instant box activation will give him some AoE CC to contribute to a team fight even if he dies 3 secs later The Scailing will help his abominable late game Nerf his early damage the instant box proc will Buff ganks enough to allow nerfs to early Damage and Fix the damn clone Buff issue fk
I'm a fairly new player who has tried him with varying success-I don't think he really needs this rework because he is currently, probably the most unique champion in the game and it is my understanding that he has almost a cult/niche fanbase which this could harm. The downsides of leaving him don't seem all that large, his visuals are good, he doesn't ruin ranked/tournament play at all, but equally he doesn't put off or frustrate new players all that much either. I can think of champs who do this currently to a much greater degree, e.g. Master Yi, Teemo, Tryndamere, this is not to say that I am advocating major changes to any of these either. I just think that it improves the game having these slightly different champions you can play for fun, even if they don't suit the meta fully.

i think honestly they should take shaco out of the jungle, turn him into a mid laner. Keep his shiv an his stealth. Give him a non melee atk range even if its semi short. An make his box's different in a sense like twisted fate. Let the player decide what one for what job. think of it like this his three box choises could be as follows. Box A: Normal Box Jack In The Box RANGE: 425 COOLDOWN: 16 / 15 / 14 / 13 / 12 COST: 50/55/60/65/70 ACTIVE: Shaco creates a Jack in the Box at the target location. It will stealth after 1 seconds and lasts a maximum of 120 seconds. When an enemy comes near the box it activates and comes out of stealth, fearing nearby enemies briefly and attacking them for 5 seconds, dealing magic damage with its attacks. Casting Jack In The Box breaks stealth. HEALTH: 120 (+10 x lvl) (+25% AP) TRIGGER RANGE: 325 SIGHT RANGE: 850 ATTACK SPEED: 1.4 (+0.1 per 200 AP) ARMOR: 40 (+2 x lvl) (+5% AP) MAGIC RESIST: 100 (+1.25 x lvl) (+2.5% AP) FEAR DURATION: 0.75 / 1 / 1.25 / 1.5 / 1.75 MAGIC DAMAGE: 30 / 50 / 70 / 90 / 110 (+15% AD) (+ 30% AP) ( this idea was made by http://leagueoflegends.wikia.com/wik...s/Shaco_Rework) Box B: Same range same cd, effect as foolows, Shaco creates a tiny jack in the box at target location that when triggered explodes for 60/100/140/180/220 +15%ad + 30% ap. deals 25% more dmg to minions an monsters. Range to trigger and range for explosion think teemo shrooms. Box C: Shaco creates a box at target location, will not trigger unless an enemy is in range . deals 10/30/50/70/90 +20%ad + 40% ap stuns them for /.25/.5/.75/1/1.25 duration is doubled vs a single enemy same for damage. Special: this box only has a 30 second life span, reason why this would work it would allow shaco to control the lane he is in ( aka midlane0 by placing boxes in intelligent patterns an designs, this also would be counterable by champions like zed, vel'koz or hiemi who do not need to aprouch him to farm or attack him. also leaving coding as is where box's can be attacked before stealthing its possible to make them useless in lane by attacking them first. Also real quick possible change to passive basic attacks will add stacks to it? or have it at set amount to proc for flat damage like 10% ap?? Old passive: back stab new passive: grand treachery: Shacos next spell deals bonus magic damage if with stacks plus .5% ap per stack stacks refresh to zero once used or Ever 10-30 seconds shaco's next spell will deal bonus magic damage equal to 5/10/15% ap (1-5/6-11/12-18 for level reference) With this shaco can still jungle effectivly, his box's are a threat they will scale with him instead of being one shot at lvl 4 if shaco goes ap root, this will give "mage" shaco a home in midlane while not removing "ad" shaco from jungle or could be used to transition to mid lane completely. or hell go mage shaco in jungle. i honestly beleive this makes shaco how his lore makes him. A twisted jester with tricks up his sleeve an allot of plans he can pull off.
