It all starts off so innocently. A little nip here, a little tuck there, a bit off the nose, a tug on the face -- and before you know it, something goes horribly, horribly wrong.
Stars who wanted only to be a little more beautiful, a little more handsome, a little more like the picture they carried of themselves inside their minds, turn out looking as if they were seeking work in a field scaring away the crows.
Why do celebrities, with their mountains of money and access to the best plastic surgeons in the world, so often end up with faces and bodies gone disastrously wrong?
Maybe they just wanted to make us laugh.
First up, our first celebrity is always ready for Halloween ...
No. 5: Joan Rivers
The mouth opens and closes, and the eyes blink, but nothing else on Joan Rivers' face is able to budge. The skin is stretched so tight that there is nowhere for it to go.
She has had god-knows-how-many injections of Botox. In addition to changing her face, she also altered her stomach, breasts, and arms. Rivers revels in her many plastic surgeries, and she even wrote a book urging other women to go under the knife.
The good news is that for a woman in her 70s, she doesn't exactly look old. The bad news is that she doesn't exactly look human, either.
Like a Halloween mask, her reconstructed face hides her true face with all its flaws -- but like a Halloween mask, it is also apt to scare little children.
Our next selection could have just as well been called the king of plastic surgery ...
No. 4: Michael Jackson
Though it's not nice to speak badly of the dead, no article on plastic surgery disasters would be complete without a nod to Michael Jackson, the King of Pop -- and the King and Patron Saint of Plastic Surgery Gone Wrong.
When Jackson directed his artistic genius outward into song and dance, the result was pure magic. When he directed the same artistic energy inward, onto his body, the result was tragic.
It turns out the body can take only so much. Then nature rebels and stamps its foot and says it won't be tampered with any more.
Why didn't someone stop Jackson? Surely his doctors must have known what was likely to happen. That Jackson was always able to find doctors willing to do more surgeries is one more tragedy in a tragic and too short life.
You won't believe what our next celebrity dented ...
No. 3: Janet Jackson
Does a tendency toward plastic surgery disasters runs in families? Take a look at Janet Jackson.
She was photographed wearing a low-cut dress that revealed a big dent in her right breast -- the apparent result of a breast-enhancement procedure gone bad.
Such breast-related plastic surgery disasters come in many varieties.
Some women, who end up with enormous breasts, look as though they are auditioning for a circus side show -- or for the Guinness Book of Records. Others have breasts that look like bowling balls glued to their chests. Mismatched breasts, where one is larger than the other or where one has shifted position, must be horribly embarrassing.

I'm sorry, but I just don't see the point in x32. It seems like a complete waste of effort.
Phoronix: Google Wants LLVM To Mainline x32 ABI Support
The Google Native Client (NaCl) team is looking to upstream some of their LLVM changes such as support for Software Fault Isolation (SFI). As part of pushing forward the changes for Native Client in LLVM, they're also looking to see mainlined the x32 ABI support. X32 is the Application Binary Interface that looks to take advantage of common x86_64 CPU features like increased CPU registers and more instruction set extensions while using 32-bit pointers...
I'm sorry, but I just don't see the point in x32. It seems like a complete waste of effort.
Not to mention that weak CPUs have way less caches.
Only a little off topic, but it still related to Google's Native Client.
There are plenty of games, built with Native Client and they are of nearly quality.
I would like to point those from CoreOnline.com (a SquareEnix website), which includes: Lara Croft and the Guardians of Light.
Some of these games works really great on Linux if you have proper video cards with proper device drivers and the latest stable Linux version of Google Chrome.
Phoronix usually don't like to cover these titles.
In my opinion, Steam is the best thing ever on Linux gaming, but there are some other platforms on Linux, which are less known, but with great capabilities and are very innovative, like Native Client.
Anyway, being sandboxed, despite its benefits regarding security, I find it pretty limiting for real world apps, except games. If it can't even access the filesystem it is pointless to port any non-game app to Native Client for Chrome
In HTML5 specification, there is a lot of APIs that allow people to access files in the Filesystem and to create a sandboxed filesystem for the Web Application.
There is no need for an application to have full and unrestricted access to the whole system, except if that application is something like Gparted or cfdisk or the Web Browser itself to actually manage access rights.
For example, why a Word Processor or a Spreadsheet, would need to access any file on your filesystem?
If you need to open a file that is in your USB Drive, just "upload" it to the application. This procedure could be even handled by the browser as a copy to the application Sandboxed filesystem, because on the modern HTML5 there is also support for offline applications.
The unique thing that is prohibitive is when you need to work with very very large files, so you really need to have direct access to the device where it is stored.
However, this is not something very common on peoples regular computing needs.
In my opinion in today's modern Web, there is really few situations that you would need something out of the browsers capabilities.

Additional System Changes and Limitations
Differences with earlier releases as well as limitations exist in various areas:
Not all optional modules and complementary products can be used with QAD 2013 EE. Some of these modules are planned to be available; others may be replaced by a different type of offering.
Some limitations exist related to technical components such as databases and operating systems.
Some specific application features that were available in previous releases of the core application are no longer available. In some cases, their exclusion is intentional; in other cases, plans exist to reimplement the features for the Enterprise Edition.
Enterprise Financials introduces many new capabilities as well as new Financial concepts. Due to differences in concepts with Standard Financials, a clear function-by-function comparison is not always possible. Certain specific functions of Standard Financials work differently or are not supported in Enterprise Financials.
Updated Policy Regarding Source Code
Source code licenses for QAD Enterprise Applications are available on a module-by-module basis and priced separately. However, even for customers who do not purchase source code licenses, QAD has historically made a subset of source available. Included is source for frequently modified reports and inquiries, and excluded transactional programs.
The list of files supplied as part of this free subset of source has changed in the EE release. QAD is maintaining the policy of allowing modification of reports and inquiries, but is now applying a stricter criteria to qualify what programs can be modified without purchasing source. As a result of this change, customers may notice that some programs they received in previous releases are no longer available. For example, QAD previously provided all include (.i) files—including files not used by reports and inquiries. Delivery is now limited to .i files that are needed by reports and inquiries; for example, frame definitions.
Another change in source code involves Financial source code. The new Enterprise Financials follows a different development model, and customization of source is facilitated through a customization layer that does not require direct update to the generated source code. Therefore, source for Enterprise Financial programs is not available for purchase by customers. A small subset of traditional Financial programs that remain in the Accounts Payable (AP), Multiple Currency (MC), and General Ledger (GL) modules have been moved to the base (OS) module. These programs are available to customers who purchase source for that module.
Windows GUI User Interface No Longer Supported
In the Enterprise Edition of QAD Enterprise Applications, the .NET UI is the primary product user interface. GUI is no longer supported at all. Some programs can only be run in .NET UI; many operational programs can still be run in character, but the full use of the suite requires .NET UI.
Progress Results Files
In QAD Enterprise Edition, a full set of Progress Results files (.qc and .qc7 files) is not provided because customer requirements for reporting vary extensively. Instead, a sample set is provided on the media containing five valid relationships. Users can add more relationships using the Progress Results application to fit their business needs. Refer to the Progress Results documentation or contact QAD Global Services for assistance with adding relationships to the existing QC files.
Support for Optional Modules and Complementary Products
Optional Modules Not Supported in QAD 2013 EE
Project Realization Management (PRM)
PRM was removed from the Enterprise Edition. It may be restored at a later time pending product management decision regarding enhancing PRM or using another project management solution.
Centralized Order Processing (not planned)
Centralized Order Processing (COP) is not supported in Enterprise Edition, either for sales or purchase orders. Other order management features can be used with QAD EE.
You cannot enter an SO or PO in one domain and process the SO shipment or PO receipt in another domain. However, you can open an SO or PO with the header site belonging to one entity and the line sites belonging to different entities in the same domain. In this scenario, the appropriate cross-company postings are registered.
You can also use Enterprise Material Transfer for cross-domain sourcing of items. Enterprise Edition features enhancements to the EMT functionality that make this method easier to use.
Complementary Products Not Supported in QAD 2013 EE
QAD Manufacturing Execution Workbench (MEW) (unplanned)
QAD Distributed Order Management (DOM) (unplanned)
Trade Management (TrM) and APM Medical (unplanned)
The Planner (unplanned)
Multi-Level Pegging (unplanned)
Q/LinQ and DataSync. The features of both these products are now included in QXtend.
Installation and Conversion Limitations
Multiple-tier installation through QAD Deployment Toolkit (QDT) is not supported.
Service pack only media are not provided. Each release is a full install, although database upgrade utilities are provided.
To ensure the highest level of quality and success for customers converting to the QAD 2013 EE release, the participation of QAD or certified QAD partner services is recommended. As a result, the conversions are disabled on the release media to ensure that conversion requirements are properly reviewed and planned by QAD before any conversion activities.
Operating Systems and Platforms
Support for an Oracle database is not generally available; only Progress database can be used.
Note: An Oracle version is available for Early Adopters only.
Performance Tuning
Consult with QAD before implementing a Wide Area Network configuration for QAD 2013 EE.
General Limitations
Multiple Databases Not Fully Supported
QDT does not currently support the installation of multiple databases. In addition, the application is limited in the support for multiple databases.
Because of the use of proxies through an App Server to update financial tables, you cannot switch databases if any activity updates financial tables. Currently, this means that a user cannot connect to another database from the UI. The only switching that is allowed is from the low-level DRP and EMT routines where it is known that the resulting updates do not affect financial data.
EMT itself works correctly in both single (cross-domain) and multiple database implementations. When using multiple databases, users must separately log in to the databases; it is not possible to switch between databases from the menu.
GL consolidation between multiple databases is not fully supported.
Some Financial Utilities Not Available
Delete/archive utilities are planned. Other utilities will be created as needed.
Handling of Euro Conversion Deferred
The programs for converting a currency to the Euro have not been updated to work with the Enterprise Financials. This will be addressed when a need for such conversion exists.
Financial Source Not Available
Since the Enterprise Financials use a new component-based methodology, they cannot be modified in the way traditional MFG/PRO programs were customized. Source code for the financial modules is no longer provided. Customization templates can be used to add business logic to existing Financial programs without making invasive code changes. Documentation of the source code required for creating APIs is supplied in HTML format. Customization features will be expanded in future releases to support additional features such as including new tables or new components.
System Cross-Reference Not Available
Earlier versions of QAD Applications provided a system cross-reference that let you see where tables, fields, and programs were referenced. This cross-reference is no longer available, since it did not apply to the new component architecture.
Internationalization Features
Support for country-specific requirements is being addressed in each release of Enterprise Applications. Many of these features that were previously provided as localization or partner offerings are now being provided as generic features of the product.
For a complete list of internationalization features and planned country support, see the QAD Support Web site.

Middling Folk
The author of a recent Virginia family history writes that "historians and biographers traditionally have favored stories of the influential—people who altered national history or transformed the practice of science, industry, or the arts. More recently they have concentrated on the lives of the impoverished and disenfranchised: slaves, peasants, excluded minorities, women—those whose stories have been denied or suppressed. I understand why, of course.
"But who tells the stories of the people in the middle? They get lost. The experiences and values they reveal seem ordinary, not worthy of comment, even bourgeois or embarrassing. The people who live them are preoccupied with the present and the future. Too often, their descendants have no interest in looking back. Yet it seems to me that these are the most important histories of all. They belong to the people who quietly, century after century, conducted the business and built the livelihoods that made their societies prosper. Their attitudes are difficult to alter or predict, yet they shape culture more profoundly than wars, pestilence, or changes in regime."
Middling Folk: three seas, three centuries, one Scots-Irish family is the story of one family, the Hammills, from its appearance in North Ayreshire, Scotland, to their sojourn in northern Ireland, to their immigration to colonial Charles County, Maryland, thence to Prince William County, Virginia and, finally, in the 1880s to Washington Territory. Linda H. Matthews has written the story of her family, but it stands for the stories of so many Scots-Irish who formed the backbone of the Appalachian region and of the middle class of the entire country.
Building upon extensive research her father and aunt conducted, Matthews has delved into records that go back as far as medieval times, broadened her investigation to encompass history, social conditions, and numerous facets of daily life of the places and times of the Hammill existence. Her efforts put flesh on the record skeletons of her ancestors, make them human, and bring them alive for the reader who is curious about his own Scots-Irish heritage.
The Hammill name may be Norman in origin, although the first evidence of the people of this name appears in 12th century southwestern Scotland. They were minor gentry buffering the divide between the great baronial families who controlled entire regions and the freemen and indentured servants. The Hammills accompanied Montgomeries across the sea to take advantage of cheap land in Ulster in the early 1600s, where they prospered. A few years after the Siege of Derry and the Battle of the Boyne, where they defended the English Crown against the Irish Catholics, they sailed another sea in the early 1700s to the Maryland Colony.
Immigrant John was a teacher, surveyor, and tobacco planter with numerous land holdings. Matthews' careful examination of the estate inventory taken two years after his death reveals much interesting information about his life, both by what was listed and what was not.
We learn that, contrary to widely held assumptions, not all Scots-Irish were Presbyterian. The Hammills were Anglican, which explains why they settled in Maryland, and were royalists. In time, their descendants were drawn to Methodism.
The Hammills were educated and settled into a variety of useful occupations—as shopkeepers, weavers, farmers, wagonmakers, blacksmiths, hotel operators, and millers.
Thanks to the detailed records of the Southern Claims Commission, we gain a lively picture of life for civilians in northern Virginia, including Hugh Hammill, during and following the Civil War.
It is not necessary to have Hammill (Hamel-Hamil) ancestors to find this history fascinating. Matthews provides detailed notes on her sources, which make interesting reading in themselves. And she offers supplemental documents and an annotated bibliography at her website for the book, www.middlingfolk.com.
This is an admirable model of engaging, gracefully written family history. Readers who enjoyed Jim Webb's "Born Fighting" will enjoy this.

Inyo County Superior Court judges passed down sentencing on one high-profile defendant and set trial dates for two others.
The Bay Area man charged with torching the Schulman Grove Visitor's Center in the Ancient Bristlecone Pine Forest in September 2008 has been sentenced to time served and five years formal probation.
According to court clerks, John Thomas Christiana, 49, is back home in the Bay Area, but will have to return to the area to check in with his probation officer. However, the clerk said, the court and probation departments are trying to transfer probation duties from Inyo to an area closer to Christiana.
Christiana, an accomplished mountain climber and one-time motivational speaker, was charged with a slew of felonies in Mono and Inyo counties.
He was found guilty of vandalism in Mono County in February 2010 and sentenced to one year in jail, which was time served, and five years probation. He was found guilty of ransacking the Summit Laboratory of the University of California's White Mountain Research Station.
The two other cases appearing before judges Tuesday are murder trials, one of which has received so much attention a change of venue had to be arranged.
Murder suspect Louis LePlat, 20, will stand trial on April 5 in Ventura County before Judge Kathryne A. Stoltz. The case, and related incidents surrounding LePlat and the crime he is alleged to have committed, received widespread media attention. When his office lost its challenge to LePlat's change of venue request, Inyo County District Attorney Art Maillet imposed a gag order for his office. Maillet said the "sensationalism" of the trial by local media forced the change of venue.
LePlat is being charged with alleged first-degree murder for the stabbing death of James Eric Rambeau, Jr., 23, of Bishop. LePlat was originally arrested on June 19, 2009.
Edward Keller, Jr. is charged with murder for allegedly killing James Eugene Williams on Thanksgiving Day, 2009. Keller was 17 years old at the time of his arrest but is being tried as an adult.
Keller will stand before a jury trial in Inyo County set to begin March 7.

Scroll through your Facebook newsfeed today and there is a good chance you will be seeing red.
A simple red equal sign, a variation of the Human Rights Campaign's traditionally blue and yellow logo, has dominated social media. In total, according to Fred Saiz, vice president of communication for the gay-rights organization, the image has been seen by 10 million people on Facebook alone.
The image was first posted at 1 p.m. ET on Monday and since then Saiz said it has "snowballed" into a bigger deal than the HRC expected. While one post by the campaign that used the image was shared 43,000 times, a number of people have saved the image as their own at the HRC's urging and have replaced their profile picture with the red equal sign.
"It has caught us off guard, to be honest with you," Saiz said. "It has taken off like wild fire."
For an hour Tuesday morning, the Human Rights Campaign website crashed, according to Saiz, because of the traffic they were getting off the image.
As nine justices pondered the future of same-sex marriage in the United States, millions have taken to Facebook and Twitter to litigate the issue. The top ten terms trending on Facebook all related to same-sex marriage, while terms like "SCOTUS" and "Prop8" were trending nationally on Twitter.
One of the top trending terms on Facebook on Tuesday was "equality," according to data from the social networking website. On the day that the Supreme Court heard arguments over Proposition 8, a law that prohibited same-sex marriage in California, use of the term spiked more than 5,000 percent.
This is high, considering the fact that "equality" is a term used every day.
According to Facebook, celebrities like Ricky Martin, Felicity Huffman and George Takei, as well as politicians like Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley, Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn and Democratic Sen. Mark Warner of Virginia, changed their Facebook profile pictures to the red image.
Takei, the famed Star Trek actor and prominent gay rights activist, has a massive Facebook following and changed his Facebook profile image to the red logo.
A post from him this morning asking people to adopt the logo has over 64,000 likes and more than 31,000 shares.
Another post overlaying the internet meme "Grumpy Cat" on top of the red logo has quickly gone viral with more than 60,000 likes and 17,000 shares within the first half an hour of posting.
Saiz, from the Human Rights Campaign, called the reaction "unprecedented."
"You always hope that these things will capture the imagination of those that see it," he said. "I think what you can't predict and plan for how individuals with a bigger reach than your own are going to make your reach exponential in nature."
Although an image in favor of same-sex marriage dominated outside the courthouse, justices inside seemed reluctant to extend a sweeping constitutional right for gays and lesbian to wed in all 50 states.
In the first of two days of hearings on cases that have the potential to fundamentally alter how American law treats marriage, Justice Anthony Kennedy -- considered the likely deciding vote on the divided court -- questioned whether justices should even be hearing the issue.
The overriding legal question in the California case is whether the 14th Amendment guarantee of equal protection under the law prevents states from defining marriage as that state has.
The Family Research Council, an organization "honoring God's design for marriage and celebrating all who have joined together as man and wife," also created their own shareable social graphic featuring a man and a woman holding hands.
Over the past few days, the image has received over 10,000 likes and shares.
Additionally, the March for Marriage, a Tuesday afternoon event aimed at advocating marriage between a man and a woman, has been posting sharable graphics on its Facebook page in the last week. The page itself has received almost 4,000 likes.
However, these campaigns have been overshadowed on Facebook by the efforts same-sex organizations like the Human Rights Campaign have undertaken.

Oxford House damaged by fire
17 adults, threee children displaced; Red Cross assisting them
Aug 14, 2013
News-Register Staff
The Oxford House for Men, a McMinnville residence that houses individuals who are in recovery or are seeking help for their drug and/or alcohol addiction, was severely damaged by a fire early this morning.
Seventeen adults and three children were displaced.
The Oxford House leases the residence from Yamhill County, according to Community Corrections Director Ted Smietana. He said it's uncertain how long it will take for repairs to be made so individuals can return.
The Red Cross is providing assistance with food, clothing, lodging, comfort kits and information about disaster health services and mental health suupport for those who were displaced. A shelter has been set up for them at the Yamhill County Fairgrounds.
McMinnville firefighters responded about 1 a.m. to the residence at 8825 S.E. Morgan Lane, according to Assistant Chief Steve Rex.
Flames extended into the attic of the structure, Rex said. Trusses were burned. There was smoke damage throughout the residence. However, the structure is not considered a total loss. A cause has not been determined.
Four pieces of equipment and about 20 firefighters responded to the scene.

Last week: 1
Why they're here: The Seahawks, despite late-season losses to NFC West rivals San Francisco and Arizona, have been the most complete team in a strong conference from Week 1. They can be beaten at home, but that becomes a lot harder as the stakes are raised and the crowd gets louder in the playoffs.
What's next: The path to Super Bowl XLVIII goes through Seattle. They will play the Packers, 49ers or Saints in the divisional playoffs.
Last week: 2
Why they're here: A record season by Peyton Manning has their offense rolling like no other team in the NFL, and despite some concerns about a Von Miller-less defense, they're still the team to beat in the AFC with the most prolific quarterback. Now there's a bye before Manning makes another quest for that elusive second ring.
What's next: For the second consecutive season, the Broncos are the No. 1 seed in the conference. They will hope to beat the Colts, Chiefs or Chargers in the divisional playoffs, when they lost last year to the Ravens.
Last week: 3
Why they're here: The Panthers rebounded from a 1-3 start to go 11-1 the rest of the way, with the only blemish coming at New Orleans. With that defensive-dominated, Cam Newton-punctuated hot streak, they racked up some tough wins to steal the NFC South title.
What's next: As the No. 2 seed in the playoffs, the Panthers get some much-needed rest as their first bye was in Week 4. They will play the Eagles, Packers or 49ers in the divisional playoffs.
Last week: 4
Why they're here: The 49ers struggled a bit early as they were fighting injuries and offensive inconsistency tied to the play of Colin Kaepernick. But they go into the playoffs as the NFC's hottest team with six consecutive wins, looking a lot more the part of reigning conference champions.
What's next: Although they need to start this year's playoff on the road as a wild card, they should like their Sunday opponent: Green Bay. The 49ers beat the Packers in last year's divisional playoffs, 45-31, and then again in Week 1, 34-28. Those games were in San Francisco; this one will be at Lambeau Field.
Last week: 6
Why they're here: The Patriots made another AFC East title and No. 2 seed look ho-hum. They've battled through an offense in transition around Tom Brady and a pileup of significant defensive injuries to get right back into the Super Bowl hunt. That's just the combined continued power of Brady and Bill Belichick.
What's next: With their bye, they are on track to play the Bengals, Colts or Chiefs in the divisional playoffs. They beat the Texans in that round last year.
Last week: 8
Why they're here: Chip Kelly's offense is high-flying, proving he can translate his college coaching to the NFL. Nick Foles has gotten the attention as a breakout passer, but LeSean McCoy's rushing title is a reminder the Eagles are the best running team in the playoff field. At the same, their defensive changes are starting to click to make them a dangerous No. 3 seed.
What's next: They host the Saints in the wild-card round on Saturday, a matchup of quarterbacks who both wear No. 9 (Foles and Drew Brees) and also went to the same high school (Austin Westlake).
Last week: 5
Why they're here: The Bengals earned their third consecutive playoff berth with Andy Dalton and A.J. Green as their offensive headliners. This time, they ascended from a wild card to an AFC North title, and for a change, are joined by neither the Ravens nor the Steelers in the playoffs. They finished a dominant 8-0 at home.
What's next: They should like their chances to stay perfect at Paul Brown Stadium, as they host the cross-country traveling sixth-seeded Chargers in the wild-card round.
Last week: 10
Why they're here: The Colts, like the Bengals, moved up from a wild card to division champions. They did roll through a weak AFC South, but they also racked up signature wins over San Francisco, Seattle, Denver and Kansas City. They lost, however, to Cincinnati and San Diego. The gritty play of Andrew Luck and Chuck Pagano's defense were the keys.
What's next: The Colts, for the second time in three weeks, will play the Chiefs, this time at home to open the playoffs. They just dominated the Chiefs in Kansas City, 23-7 in Week 16.
Last week: 11
Why they're here: The Saints at one point seemed to be ready to march away with the NFC South title and the No. 1 seed after a 9-2 start. Then came the big loss at Seattle, and they dropped three of their final five to fall to the last NFC playoff spot. Their bugaboo remains their struggles on the road, where they lost five of their past six.
What's next: They go on the road again to chilly Philadelphia to open the playoffs as a wild card. Drew Brees and Sean Payton have never won an away playoff game together.
Last week: 7
Why they're here: The Chiefs should be thrilled with the returns they got in the first year with Andy Reid as their head coach and Alex Smith as their quarterback. They cleaned up their offensive problem with turnovers to help allow the talented defense have the impact it should have last season. Reid and Smith have won playoff games for other teams; now they will work together to have more success with a steady formula.
What's next: They travel to Indianapolis to open the playoffs, looking to avenge a loss to the Colts at Arrowhead Stadium two weeks ago. The Chiefs hope to be a lot healthier for the rematch after resting players in Week 17.
Last week: 15
Why they're here: The Packers were 5-2 before Aaron Rodgers went down with his collarbone injury in the first quarter of their Week 9 game vs. Chicago. They went 2-5-1 without him, but he came back just in time, along with wide receiver Randall Cobb, to save their season in Week 17 at Chicago. Green Bay has a lot of defensive problems, but with a healthy Rodgers joining Eddie Lacy, they have the offense to carry them in the playoffs.
What's next: They host the 49ers on Sunday in the wild-card round, in a rematch of last year's divisional playoffs and Week 1 of this season. They will need Rodgers to win a shootout over Colin Kaepernick.
Last week: 9
Why they're here: The Cardinals have the dubious distinction of being the highest-ranked team that didn't qualify for the playoffs. It was a matter of geography, being stuck behind Seattle and San Francisco in the brutal NFC West. There just wasn't room for Arizona, after its losses to New Orleans and Philadelphia.
What's next: Defense was the Cardinals' backbone, and Bruce Arians got some major positives from the offense, thanks to a healthy Carson Palmer and a diverse running game. The question is, is it time to draft a true franchise passer to make them a playoff factor?
Last week: 12
Why they're here: The Chargers emerged as the best of a flawed group of teams fighting for the AFC's No. 6 seed. They lived and died with close games, and they could have either won 12 or lost 12. The difference maker to overcome some shoddy defense was a revived Philip Rivers under outstanding first-year coach Mike McCoy.
What's next: They will face the Bengals, who haven't lost at home, to open the playoffs as a wild card at Cincinnati. The Chargers lost at home to them, 17-10 in Week 13.
Last week: 14
Why they're here: The Bears got their desired big offensive boost by replacing Lovie Smith with Marc Trestman. But without Smith, a retired Brian Urlacher and several key returning players because of injuries (Henry Melton, Lance Briggs, Charles Tillman), their defense went into the tank. They couldn't stop the run or the deep pass. It all added up to a two-game regression from 2012.
What's next: Before anything else, they need to decide whether they want to commit long term to Jay Cutler as the quarterback of Trestman's offense.
Last week: 13
Why they're here: The Cowboys had their typical up-and-down .500 season under Jason Garrett. The defense remained a mess because of injuries and a shaky scheme, but then again, some key turnovers and red zone stops helped them win some games. The offense looked glossy with Tony Romo and DeMarco Murray, but then again, some key turnovers and questionable play calls helped them lose some games.
What's next: Jerry Jones seems reluctant to replace Garrett, so the Cowboys will just work on remixing the staff and personnel to reset their mind-set. It's frustrating, because if this talented team could just figure out a little more, it would go a long way.
Last week: 18
Why they're here: The Steelers tried their best to overcome an 0-4 start by winning six of their final eight games to knock on the door of the playoffs. They just dug themselves too big of a hole before their Week 5 bye. While the defense could use a personnel overhaul, the offense, with Ben Roethlisberger, Antonio Brown and Le'Veon Bell, delivers plenty of promise for 2014.
What's next: They need to clean up some problems on both sides of the ball, and restock much of their talent behind those core offensive triplets. The next draft will be critical to improve their chances at contending for a Super Bowl again.
Last week: 16
Why they're here: The Ravens were the latest victims of the Super Bowl-winner hangover, missing the playoffs for the first time with the combination of coach John Harbaugh and quarterback Joe Flacco. Their defense improved without Ray Lewis and Ed Reed, but their offense took a bigger hit with no Anquan Boldin, an unhealthy Dennis Pitta, shoddy line play and regression from workhorse back Ray Rice.
What's next: The champs weren't that far from making the playoffs; they just lost a lot of close games. The goal in the offseason will be solidifying the line again, along with getting a lot more pop in the backfield and a little more around Flacco.
Last week: 20
Why they're here: Rex Ryan was unfazed by a rocky rookie quarterback and leaky pass defense as big weaknesses, getting the most out of his strengths of run defense and rushing offense. Geno Smith did have plenty of highs to go with the major lows, and with better health and a boost in talent, the Jets can be a playoff team.
What's next: Now that Ryan and Smith will be back, they need help. For Ryan, it's rebuilding the back seven of his 3-4 defense. For Smith, he needs a full complement of good skill position players to get more out of his big arm and athleticism in Year 2.
Last week: 17
Why they're here: The Dolphins had the AFC's second wild-card berth in their grasp, before they tanked offensively in losses to the Bills and Jets to make 2013 just a one-game improvement on 2012. Along the way, they beat Indianapolis, Cincinnati and New England, but just didn't have enough consistency with Ryan Tannehill or their defense.
What's next: Last offseason, Miami splurged to improve its receivers (Mike Wallace) and defense (Dannell Ellerbe, Philip Wheeler, Brent Grimes), and the results were mixed. Look for them to refocus on the draft for immediate, younger help in 2014.
Last week: 19
Why they're here: The Rams' 2013 season was the NFC West, and then the rest. They went 1-5 against San Francisco, Seattle and Arizona, and 8-4 against everyone else. When you consider they did much of that without starting quarterback Sam Bradford, it was another fine coaching job by Jeff Fisher. Their pass-rushing defense also produced a legitimate player of the year contender in Robert Quinn.
What's next: If the Rams are to get past their obstacles in their own division, they must find an explosive offense and steady QB play from a healthy Stafford or someone else. It's a nice bonus to be sitting on the No. 2 overall draft pick from Washington, just two years after trading it to Washington.
Last week: 22
Why they're here: The Giants were the Steelers of the NFC, a recent two-time Super Bowl winner that had an "off" season. The difference was, they started 0-6 in a stronger conference, and their Super Bowl-winning quarterback and 2004 first-rounder, Eli Manning, never got on track. Manning was plagued by turnovers and got little help from his supporting cast as injuries piled up at offensive line, running back and receiver.
What's next: While Manning tries to recover from the high ankle sprain he suffered in the Week 17 season finale vs. Washington, Tom Coughlin will work to get the rest of his team healthy and refocused to shake off the 2013 anomaly.
Last week: 21
Why they're here: The Lions were once 6-3 and in control of the NFC North over injury-riddled Green Bay and Chicago. Then they went 1-6 down the stretch as Matt Stafford struggled and the lack of overall discipline cost coach Jim Schwartz his job.
What's next: It's clear, given the talented, strong-armed Stafford's fundamental struggles to be efficient and protect the ball, Detroit must replace Schwartz with an offensive-minded coach that can get its most important player right. The talent overall is there for a quick rebound and turnaround.
Last week: 23
Why they're here: The Titans started a promising 3-1, but then couldn't overcome the injury to versatile quarterback Jake Locker and consistent run defense struggles. Before they won their final two games, they battled through a 2-8 stretch. The bottom line: The one-game improvement from 2012 still added up to a fifth consecutive non-playoff season.
What's next: They seem like they want to give franchise legend Mike Munchak one more year to prove himself as their head coach. It is clear the Titans play hard for him, and there is some talent there, especially on pass defense. Their issues are more non-descript, other than the fact they need to see a healthy Locker or someone else take charge as a true franchise QB.
Last week: 24
Why they're here: The Bills finished right between the league's mediocre teams and its awful ones. Given they didn't get a good chance to get a long look at rookie QB EJ Manuel, their first season under Doug Marrone can be deemed acceptable. The biggest development was the defense responding as an impact unit in the first year of Mike Pettine's scheme. With players such as Mario Wiliams and Kiko Alonso, Buffalo is back to having one of the league's best front sevens.
What's next: The Bills need to clean up their secondary, but most of the focus will be offense. They've got the running game in place, and now it's about turning up the passing game with Manuel in Year 2, when they will learn whether he is a franchise-type passer.
Last week: 25
Why they're here: Some major early injuries (Julio Jones, Sean Weatherspoon, Kroy Biermann, Steven Jackson) brought down a talented team that was short on depth, causing a nine-game fall in the standings. Matt Ryan did his best to stand tall with Roddy White, Tony Gonzalez and others, but their shortcomings on the offensive and defensive lines were really exposed.
What's next: The Falcons have something that many bottom-feeding NFL teams don't: a bona fide franchise QB in Ryan. If anything, their struggles elsewhere showed just how good he is. Now the trick is for coach Mike Smith and general manager Thomas Dimtroff to rebuild up front on both sides.
Last week: 27
Why they're here: The Vikings also went from playoffs to out. The joy of last season's wild card evaporated as they finished last in the wild NFC North and it cost coach Leslie Frazier his job. They didn't find enough in their passing offense until it was too late to support Adrian Peterson and their pass defense was the biggest problem all season.
What's next: Who will be the quarterback in 2013? Will Jared Allen be back to help mask the secondary issues? Passer and pass rush are the easy top priorities in Minnesota after landing its next coach.
Last week: 26
Why they're here: The Greg Schiano-Josh Freeman drama ended in both coach and quarterback leaving town. While Freeman fizzled in Minnesota to help Schiano's cause, a midseason hot streak after an 0-8 start wasn't enough to save his job as the Bucs were outscored by a total of 45 in their three season-ending losses. The positives were the steady development of rookie QB Mike Glennon and a talented defense that had its moments. There just weren't enough of them.
What's next: The Bucs wanted to clean house up top, as general manager Mark Dominik joined Schiano out the door. It's clear they want a steadying influence at coach and a more draft-oriented builder in those roles, so that's why the likes of Lovie Smith and Rich McKay are so appealing.
Last week: 30
Why they're here: The Jaguars looked like the worst NFL team for the early chunk of the season, but credit them for improving and fighting under Gus Bradley. He did the best he could with piling offensive injuries and limited defensive talent. They are in the position where just finding that true franchise QB could shoot them up into wild-card range.
What's next: The Jaguars aren't picking first in the 2014 NFL draft, but high enough in a QB-loaded class that they can bring in someone to get them past the Blaine Gabbert-Chad Henne mess and go from there.
Last week: 28
Why they're here: Chud went out with a dud. The Browns gave offensive-minded coach Rob Chudzinski only one season, in which he saw his franchise running back traded away and a revolving door at quarterback. No coach can win with that. The defense, although good, didn't provide the returns on their aggressive free-agent moves.
What's next: The Browns need to find a head coach, but that person is likely doomed to fail in Cleveland if the front office doesn't start delivering on its supposed smarts and find that gem of a quarterback that Brandon Weeden wasn't.
Last week: 29
Why they're here: The Raiders had some offensive moments, even though they cycled through two project quarterbacks, Terrelle Pryor and Matt McGloin, and had a carousel of featured backs and receivers because of injuries. Defense, however, remained the biggest disappointment for coach Dennis Allen. In the modern NFL, if you can't stop the pass and you don't have firepower, you are doomed.
What's next: Stop if you have heard this before: They need to find a quarterback. Then need to rev up their pass rush again. There are plenty of holes that just one draft or free-agent class can't address.
Last week: 31
Why they're here: The beautiful friendship that was Mike Shanahan and Robert Griffin III in 2012 fractured into a dysfunctional breakup in 2013. While defenses caught up to what the Redskins were doing, a banged-up Griffin slowed mentally and physically. All the time, while the offense was getting the attention, the defense bombed. The Redskins needs more serious budget cuts and staff reorganization to get back on track.
What's next: Get the coach who can get RG3 in the right mind-set again to build on his great promise. That's where it starts. It must continue with overhauling the defensive personnel and reexamining their shaky scheme.
Last week: 32
Why they're here: The Texans will go into 2014 riding what's an appropriate but terrible 14-game losing streak. They changed everything you knew about 2-0 teams making the playoffs, as their AFC South title run lasted only two seasons before a massive dip that cost coach Gary Kubiak his job. Offensively, they were doomed by quarterback woes and backfield injuries. Defensively, they just couldn't make enough impact plays beyond J.J. Watt.
What's next: The Texans, just removed from back-to-back playoff trips, have the talent to rebound. It starts with (again), identifying their franchise quarterback to succeed Matt Schaub. They have their pick of the best possible prospects in a deep 2014 class with the draft's first overall selection.

Fortuna Review
By Remko Molenaar (Proxzor)
With a catchy title of 'Your Legacy Begins Today' I was interested in what Fortuna from Perfect World had to offer. Set in Europe, during the golden age, the player has to take a side with one of the three available noble families. As a big fan of the Italian families, I chose to go for the Medici to capitalize on a legacy of great thinkers from their region like Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and Galileo. Take control of your own army, develop them into a big empire and form alliances to gain more power. That's the name of the game!
When you first see your empire it looks rather empty and dull. You'll have to start from the ground up. From hiring people, to building up the necessary buildings, you will have to do everything manually by yourself. Each player gets a large capital city. Here you will have to place buildings within designated squares. Unfortunately you cannot go wild and place your buildings around to create unique designs as the spots are static.
In the campaign, you will have to go through a questline together with your hired general. Each time you win a fight, you will move up a spot and you will face a tougher battle. Unfortunately the fighting is completely automatic, and the player has no control whatsoever over his troops. This feels like a missed opportunity in the gameplay department. The generals that you can hire however are able to utilize skills, and these will activate automatically as well. The bulk of the tactics comes in the form of finding generals with the right set of skills to best supplement your army's strengths.
The process of building your army is where Fortuna shines and allows you a sense of individualism from other players. In the tutorial you are taught how to use your army, and how to deploy them. The deployment of your troops is important, if you specialize yourself with ranged units, you obviously don't want them to stand at the front. Then you need to find the right balance of tanky front line units to protect your ranged dps, which of course can vary from battle to battle. Your heroes can also influence the strength of your units, and because every hero specializes in certain attributes, you really want to play around and experiment to see what works best. Your heroes can also receive training without having to endanger them on the battlefield. In the training halls, your heroes can farm experience while you do others things; it's like bringing your kids to school. And if you want to make your kids even happier, you can dress them up with special equipment that makes them even better in combat.
And slowly but surely you will see your empire increase. Buildings will rise and your rag tag group of marauders will grow into a hardened specialized fighting force built around your tactics. You remember the city you had when you started? It's now a bustling metropolis with animated people going about their daily business. Of course the impatient player can use cards and throw money at your screen to make the building or training of units speed up. These time saving features are the limit to what cash shopping can get you though as every unit and building can be acquired without spending a dime. Just don't underestimate the power that those speed boosts can offer. You are even able to buy resources and this can definitely give you an edge over people that do not pay.
Conclusion: Fair
Fortuna is one of those real time strategy games that is a lot of fun, has a nice background story to offer, but unfortunately feels like it's missing something from being perfect. While building up your empire is fun and creating your army's legacy is quite entertaining, the game overall lacks in the features department. Though I'm more of an action gamer so Fortuna likely appeals more to those who prefer to spend time strategizing and arranging formations rather than controlling combat in realtime. Leveling up your units and building more buildings offers the RPG addiction for a while, but I look forward to seeing if Fortuna can up the ante in future updates.

Fall Harvest
The Big City. Yankees vs. Red Sox. The Atlantic Coastline. The Northeast is known for a lot of things, but one of the most beautiful is our fall foliage. The changing leaves and mountain landscapes are reason enough to escape the city for a weekend. This time of year the tri-state area also boasts a slew of amazing orchards and vineyards. Apple and pumpkin picking, hayrides, corn mazes, haunted houses, cider and wine tasting; from September-November these seasonal destinations promise the perfect weekend afternoon.
Confused on where to go? Fret not my friend. I have compiled a short list of kid and adult-friendly hotspots; all of them are favorites of the staff here at tarte. So, this weekend rent a car or hop on the transit lines for an urban escape. Don't live in the area? Or, did I miss one of your family favorites? Please share some details in our comments box, we'd love to hear from you.

Poor fit
"I ordered these based on the siziing chart and my typical size. They were too big and on one foot the straps on top were above my foot. The straps didn't even touch the top of my foot or lay on it as they should. I noticed another reviewer had this same issue. (It was only on the right foot also) It was like it was made for someone with a much taller foot than normal. I also didn't think they had the sparkle like I would have expected based on the picture. The straps across the top of the foot are quite wide and although this may not be a big deal to some, I felt they looked "older" styled from this. Had to return them."
