Well, since Clint Eastwood drank the kool-aid at the RNC and is now at home yelling at his furniture, the "elder-statesman action star" chair is vacant...
That said, this looks like a stupid bit of fun. Kinda reminds me of "3000 miles to graceland", hopefully this is similarly "so bad it's good" and not just "so bad".
Looks like good 'ole fashion action movie fun! The addition of Knoxville as gun totiing comedy relief and the small town sheriff angle gives me strong connections to The Rock's Walking Tall which I also liked.
It's not on my must-see list but I'd have no problem enjoying some stuf git blowt up reel guud!
Looks entertaining and may even be a decent action flick, but nothing special. I like the Conan reference with the sword!

Panasonic has announced that Getty Images sports photographer Dean Mouhtaropoulos will be covering the London 2012 Olympic Games exclusively using its recently-announced Lumix DMC-G5. His images will be displayed both at the Getty Gallery next to London's Olympic Park, and on Panasonic UK's homepage. With sports photography traditionally the preserve of large SLR cameras, the company is hoping to showcase the capabilities of its mirrorless model in this notoriously-demanding field. We suspect the press release has more to do with making the most of its Olympic sponsorship than swaying other pros, but it should be interesting to see the results.
Press release:
Panasonic team up with leading sports Photographer and reveals the camera he'll be using at London 2012 Olympic Games
Having recently announced the London 2012 Olympic Games Images Gallery at the Getty Gallery, Westfield Stratford City, Panasonic is pleased to announce that leading sports photographer, Dean Mouhtaropoulos will be exclusively using the newly announced Panasonic DMC-G5 LUMIX G camera to capture the London 2012 Olympic Games.
Dean Mouhtaropoulos has been granted access to the London 2012 Olympic Games to capture the unique, emotional and historic Olympic moments. Having worked for Getty Images (the Official Photographic Agency of the International Olympic Committee) for 9 years, Dean is well versed in capturing epic sporting moments including both Football and Rugby World Cups, the Olympics, Champions League football, World Championships in Swimming, Diving, Hockey, Athletics to name but a few. With Dean's extensive experience photographing sports, and his passion for photography that dates back to his 12th birthday, when he was first given a camera, Dean was the obvious photographer to be tasked with this momentous and epic task.
With historic moments captured in a fraction of a second, Dean needs a fast, responsive, lightweight camera with outstanding image quality. Panasonic is providing Dean with a DMC-G5 LUMIX G camera to capture the games on. The G5 is a new addition to Panasonic's multiple award winning LUMIX G range of cameras – having only been announced last week.
Perfectly designed for a sports photographer, thanks to its compact, classically designed and easy-to-grip chassis the LUMIX G5 is effortless to carry around, yet still provides the superior image quality required for such historic shots.
With a new 16.05-megapixel Live MOS sensor; the Venus Engine VII FHD image processor; and an ISO range of up to 12,800, the LUMIX G5 provides stunning image quality, even in low-light situations – perfect for demanding shooting conditions like the Olympics.
There are no second chances when shooting at the Olympics – that split second moment is there to be captured and you need a camera you can rely on. With highly precise, light speed Auto Focus, the G5 ensures you'll never miss the perfect shot. Additionally, the LUMIX G5's rapid burst shooting capability - at six Frames per Second (FPS) at full resolution - can capture multiple shots of fast-moving subjects with stunning clarity.
Dean will also carry a selection of LUMIX G Lenses in his kit bag, ranging from 7mm-300mm [1] including the recently launched 12-35mm [2] X lens, suitable for capturing a wide range of scenes thanks to a versatile zoom and F2.8 brightness in the entire zoom range,.
Images taken by Dean using the G5 will be showcased at the London 2012 Olympic Games Images Gallery at the Getty Gallery based in Westfield Shopping Centre, Stratford (4th July-15th September). Visitors to the gallery will be able to interact with Panasonic's showcase of Smart VIERA TVs showing live London 2012 Olympic content both in 2D and 3D being uploaded from all Olympic venues.
Additionally, Panasonic will be posting 'Lumix G Photos of the Day' on Panasonic's homepage (www.panasonic.co.uk) throughout the Olympic Games – so keep a check on the website as this will be updated daily. From the homepage visitors will also be able to link to the Lumix Lifestyle (www.lumixlifestyle.co.uk) page to view the full Panasonic London 2012 photo gallery. Thorough the Lumix Lifestyle community there will also be a section on Panasonic at London 2012, including general information on Panasonic's equipment at London 2012, a biography of Dean and product information and images on the G5. If this wasn't enough Panasonic's London 2012 Flag Tags App will be featured on the site, as well as a gallery of sports photos taken by Lumix Lifestyle members.
Panasonic has been a supporter of the Olympic Games since 1988 and this latest announcement is just an example of the innovative, creative and informative ideas Panasonic is offering for people to fully enjoy London 2012.

Elementary is definitely one of my favorite new shows! I'll admit, I'm biased, having already been fans of both the talented Jonny Lee Miller ("Hackers" and "Trainspotting") and the beautiful Lucy Liu ("Ally McBeal", "Kill Bill") for a long time. Still, I wasn't sure if yet another Sherlock Holmes remake would work, especially after the BBC's new version has done so well across the pond. But, I am very pleased to report, America's newest Sherlock is nothing short of Bloody Brilliant! Read more Review posted on Tuesday, March 5th 2013 at 6:43 pm |

Why have the writers chosen to make Wtson such a frakin bitch this season 3? She is a MAJOR turnoff for me now...perhaps Lucy wanted to play a horrible person? I don't get it! I don't care what "wrongs" she perceives Sherlock did...she knew how he was and she stayed around - so wtf? Knock it off writers...bring her back to at least a semi-likeable person...this show is too good to have that nonsense! Read more Review posted on Thursday, December 18th 2014 at 8:47 pm |

Paget's disease is a disorder that involves abnormal bone destruction and regrowth, which results in deformity.
Osteitis deformans
The cause of Paget's disease is unknown, although it might have to do with genes or a viral infection early in life.
The disease occurs worldwide, but is more common in Europe, Australia, and New Zealand.
In people with Paget's disease, there is an abnormal breakdown of bone tissue, followed by abnormal bone formation. The new bone is bigger, but weaker and filled with new blood vessels.
The disease may only be in one or two areas of the skeleton, or throughout the body. It often involves bones of the arms, collarbones, leg, pelvis, spine, and skull.
Most patients have no symptoms. Paget's disease is often diagnosed when an x-ray is done for another reason.
If they do occur, symptoms may include:
Tests that may indicate Paget's disease include:
This disease may also affect the results of the following tests:
Patients who may not need treatment include those who:
Patients with Paget's disease who are commonly treated include patients who have:
Drug therapy helps prevent further bone breakdown. Currently, there are several classes of medications used to treat Paget's disease. These include:
Acetaminophen (Tylenol) or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications (NSAIDs) may also be given for pain. Orthopedic surgery may be needed to correct a deformity in severe cases.
For additional support and resources, see the Paget Foundation.
Disease activity and symptoms can generally be controlled with current medications. A small percentage of patients may develop a cancer of the bone called osteosarcoma. Some patients will need joint replacement surgery.
Call for an appointment with your health care provider if you develop symptoms of Paget's disease.

We must have received the same email offer and I think I'm going to order 6, too.
After seeing a couple vids online w/ 50 lb. bags of flour I'm thinking that's what it is. 30 lbs. of flour w/ all that liquid wouldn't be manageable at all. You'd have a batter at nearly 80% hydration + all that oil. Loo
DKM, using the mass volume conversion tool of red.november I got 22.94% on the oil (if actually 6 full quarts) and 45.88% for water (if actually 3 gallons). This was kinda huge for us. Thanks for posting a link to the vid.Loo
Okay , so 4qts = 1 gallon right?12 quarts of water to 6 quarts of oil?Can that water percentage be right?
Can . . . anyone . . . venture a guess on the amount of sauce used for the pizza in the video?
I think that they put on a light amount of sauce. You can see that on the video esp. when the cheese shines through. Compare that to the regular amount of sauce they put on my 9" pizza when I last visited Malnati's headquarters restaurant in Lincolnwood last summer in the picture below.


text: I was a bit dissapointed, seeing the statistics for this one. I saved Doug, and don't regret it one bit. Doug is a very resourceful character, he's funny, he's very relateable and is useful in any situation. Carley is too serious, and doesn't add very much. She has a gun, sure, but once you run out of ammo, or lose the gun, she has no redeeming qualities. her resourcefulness hits rock bottom (radio), and she has an instinctive reaction to solve every problem with her gun. She also has very little humor. I'm also getting a little tired of people saving someone just because they have a pair of boobs.

Salsa Verde Huevos Rancheros
I am really into Mexican style egg breakfasts! They are always easy to make, super tasty, fulfilling and they are usually fairly healthy. Among the Mexican style egg breakfasts huevos rancheros has to be one of my favorites. Huevos rancheros consists of a fried tortilla topped with a fried egg and a tomato based sauce and from there you can add any extras you like. Some of my favorite extras are black beans or jalapeno spiced black beans, avocado, cilantro and a bit of cheese. Although I really like huevos rancheros with the tomato sauce, I had been been wanting to try them with a tomatillo salsa verde. The other week when I made the batch of salsa verde I made sure to make enough extra to be able to make some salsa verde huevos rancheros a few times that week. The salsa verde huevos rancheros worked out really well! You really can't go wrong with a freshly homemade batch of salsa verde and it this case it made the Mexican style egg breakfast sing with flavour!
Happy Cinco de Mayo!

'Officially Not Disappointed'
07 June 2009
'Officially Not Disappointed'
Two-and-a-half years into this project, finally the day dawns when I get to see the creation in the flesh. Heading to Barcelona, flying from City Airport, which is always a joy. Aside from being half the travel time to Heathrow, it's also tiny so you just coast through the place. It's perhaps on a par with flying from Dublin in the 70's, though it hasn't entirely escaped the MBA marketing consultants, as evidenced by a section in the airside café menu called, I kid you not, 'Tapatisers'.
It's never busy but on this Sunday morning it's absolutely dead, so I have some quiet time to contemplate what lies ahead. I seem to be getting out to the UK just prior to the total collapse of its entire parliamentary system. What does a country do when it's people decide they've had enough of all their politicians? Theoretically, I suppose the Queen takes over but don't get me started on that topic.
Load-in commenced a week ago at the Nou Camp Stadium. It took an act of will on my part not to fly down immediately, but the first few days consisted of putting down the pitch covering and other equally exciting activities, so I've been patient. My co-designer Mark Fisher has been in Barcelona since Wednesday to supervise putting on the 'skin' of the structure for the first time so he's been sending photographic updates. It looks very promising but I'm trying not to think about it too much until I'm there in person.
The 'production' loads in today. There are three sets of the main steel structure that will leapfrog each other in order for us to be able to do more than one show every two weeks. There is, however, only one set of the bulk of the touring equipment, which is just referred to as 'the production' in the inexplicable parlance of rock tours. This consists, essentially, of all the really expensive bits; all the lighting and sound equipment, the video screen, the central pylon thingy, as well as the performance stage itself and all the gear on, under and around it. It's a lot of stuff and even the most experienced of our crew are regarding the task of moving it from place to place as an unprecedented challenge.
Conveniently, we have managed to put together a small army of exceptional people to deal with this; some of them the very best in their price range. There are also a lot of new faces on the crew for this tour; only two out of the fourteen lighting crew have ever done a U2 tour before and other departments are similarly represented. The last sea change of this scale was on the ZooTV tour and now (a staggering 17 years later) many of those alumni have retired. Much talk of wanting to spend time with their children, etc., which privately I view as an abominably selfish lack of commitment to art, but one mustn't be unfeeling. I'm greatly looking forward to an injection of new blood into the process, as with it come new ideas and enthusiasm. This morning the entire crew is getting an 'orientation and safety' run through of the stage and how the show is expected to run. I'd say once they've picked their jaws up off the floor they'll open the truck doors and get on with it.
Later that same day...
I arrived in Barcelona and headed to the Nou Camp stadium. It's a building with high grandstands, revealing nothing of what's inside, so I had to wait until the last steps of my journey out to the field before I finally saw what we are proposing to take on tour. I'm officially Not Disappointed. Much remains to be built, but enough was standing there to give a real sense of what this thing is and how it might work. It is also immediately apparent that this is an undertaking of unprecedented scale and complexity.
The seating grandstands are extremely high in this building, but I took the (very) long walk up and around the place to look at the structure from all angles. The proportions are deceptive and weirdly the higher you climb the bigger the structure seems to be. Perhaps it's just hard to judge it from the ground.
Way up in the nosebleed seats I ran into Mark Fisher who was also doing the long walk and taking photographs. We shared a moment of 'can you believe we're actually doing this?' with a brief look back at how far we've come.
Night fell with the surprising speed that it does in these climes. By 21.00 or so people were calling it a day, having put in 12 hours or more. Once back at the hotel the word went out that the bar on the corner was the place to be. I headed down there for some late night beer and tapatisers and caught up with a lot of people whom I haven't seen for quite a while. So... we're on tour.

Research confirms what many athletes already know: regular exercise and high quality protein can work together to promote muscle recovery and growth.* We designed Monster Milk to help hard-working athletes build bigger, stronger muscles.*
More Than 50% Extra Leucine!
Monster Milk includes leucine, from free amino acids, whole proteins and leucine-enriched whey peptides Pepform to supply a 3:1:1 ratio of branched chain amino acids (BCAAs)
3 Leucine : 1 Isoleucine : 1 Valine
Peer-reviewed scientific studies demonstrate that leucine activates the mTOR signaling pathway, which stimulates muscle hypertrophy (growth).*
50g Protein Matrix
Monster Milk contains a combination of slow (casein) and fast (whey) proteins to enhance muscle protein synthesis and inhibit muscle protein breakdown.* The amino acids in whey and free-form amino acids are metabolized more rapidly than those from casein which provide a slower more sustained release of amino acids.*
3g Creapure / 2.5g Betaine Anhydrous -- Supports muscle mass and strength*
5g Added L-Glutamine -- Most abundant amino acid in human muscle*
125mg ProHydrolase -- Supports the normal digestion of protein which yields amino acids, the building blocks of muscle protein.* Results from study with whey protein and in vitro experiments using whey proteins and Monster Milk demonstrate ProHydrolase breaks down proteins into smaller peptides and individual amino acids.*
1g Beta-Alanine / CarnoSyn-- Rate limiting factor for carnosine production, which can act as a buffer to reduce acidity in muscle during high-intensity exercise*

Squamous cell carcinoma is a form of skin cancer. It is the second most common form of skin cancer.
The cancer develops in the uppermost layer of skin cells. Squamous cell carcinoma usually grows slowly. It is rarely fatal if treated early. However, the cancer can be lethal if it spreads beyond the skin.
Cancer occurs when cells in the body divide without control or order. Eventually these uncontrolled cells form a growth or tumor. The growths invade and take over nearby tissue. It is not clear exactly what causes these problems in the cells but is probably a combination of genetics and environment.
Areas of skin that are damaged have higher risk of cancer. Skin that is regularly exposed to the sun is most likely to develop skin cancer. Squamous cell carcinoma may also develop in skin that has scars, burns, or exposure to chemicals or radiation.
Factors that increase your risk of developing squamous cell carcinoma include:
Symptoms include:
Your doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done.
The doctor will look at the skin growth. A sample of the growth will be taken and examined for cancer cells. This examine will help determine the stage and type of the cancer. Your doctor will use this information to guide treatment and make a prognosis.
Talk with your doctor about the best treatment plan for you. Options include:
For people who are not able to have surgery, other treatment options include:

more idiomatic version of the same, using the flip-flop-operator; also printing lines with '//'-style comments
This is a naive way of finding source code comments in source code files that use C-like comments: // and /*...*/
Using tail to follow and standard perl to count and print the lps when lines are written to the logfile.
This uses Perl's rename utility (you may have to call it as prename on your box) and won't choke on spaces or other characters in filenames. It will also zero pad a number even in filenames like "vacation-4.jpg".
This is from perldoc -q random.*line, which says:
This has a significant advantage in space over reading the whole file in. You can find a proof of this method in The Art of Computer Programming, Volume 2, Section 3.4.2, by Donald E. Knuth.
Who am I to argue with Don Knuth?
Let -p do it's voodoo and do absolutely nothing but set the output record separator :-)
Reads stdin, and outputs each line only once - without sorting ahead of time. This does use more memory than your system's sort utility.
This works by reading in two lines of input, turning each into a list of one-character matches that are sorted and compared.
This uses Text::Highlight to output the specified Perl file with syntax highlighting. A better alternative is my App::perlhl - find it on the CPAN: http://p3rl.org/App::perlhl
No need for further filedes or substitution for splitting. Simply use read a b
[Update! Thanks to a tip from ioggstream, I've fixed both of the bugs mentioned below.]
You, yes, 𝙔𝙊𝙐, can be the terror of the Internet! Why use normal, boring bullet points in your text, when you could use a ROTATED HEAVY BLACK HEART BULLET (❥)!? (Which would also be an awesome band name, by the way).
This script makes it easy to find unusual characters from the command line. You can then cut and paste them or, if you're using a GTK application, type Control+Shift+U followed by the code point number (e.g., 2765) and then a SPACE.
USAGE: Put this script in a file (I called mine "ugrep") and make it executable. Run it from the command line like so,
ugrep heart
The output will look like this,
You can, of course, use regular expressions. For example, if you are looking for the "pi" symbol, you could do this:
ugrep '\bpi\b'
REQUIREMENTS: Although this is written in Bash, it assumes you have Perl installed because it greps through the Perl Unicode character name module (/usr/lib/perl5/Unicode/CharName.pm). Note that it would not have made more sense to write this in Perl, since the CharName.pm module doesn't actually include a subroutine for looking up a character based on the description. (Weird.)
BUGS: In order to fit this script in the commandlinefu limits, a couple bugs were added. ① Astral characters beyond the BMP (basic multilingual plane) are not displayed correctly, but see below. ② Perl code from the perl module being grepped is sometimes extraneously matched.
MISFEATURES: Bash's printf cannot, given a Unicode codepoint, print the resulting character to the terminal. GNU's coreutils printf (usually "/usr/bin/printf") can do so, but it is brokenly pedantic about how many hexadecimal digits follow the escape sequence and will actually die with an error if you give the wrong number. This is especially annoying since Unicode code points are usually variable length with implied leading zeros. The CharNames.pm file represents BMP characters as 4 hexits, but astral characters as 5. In the actual version of this script that I use, I've kludged around this misfeature by zero-padding to 8 hexits like so,
/usr/bin/printf "\U$(printf "%08x" 0x$hex)"
TIP 1: The author recommends "xsel" for command line cut-and-paste. For example,
ugrep biohazard | xsel
TIP 2: In Emacs, instead of running this command in a subshell, you can type Unicode code points directly by pressing Control-Q first, but you'll likely want to change the default input from octal to hexadecimal. (setq read-quoted-char-radix 16).
TIP 3: Of course, if you're using X, and you want to type one of the more common unusual characters, it's easiest of all to do it with your Compose (aka Multi) key. For example, hitting [Compose] <3 types ♥.
Nobody wants the boss to notice when you're slacking off. This will fill your shell with random data, parts of it highlighted. Note that 'highlight' is the Perl module App::highlight, not "a universal sourcecode to formatted text converter." You'll also need Term::ANSIColor.
range context (-A -B) search, with exclusion of vcs directories
Fun idea! This one adds seconds and keeps running on the same line. Perl's probably cheating though. :)
This command turns a multi-line file into a single line joined with <SOMETEXT>. To skip blank lines, use:
perl -pe '(eof()||s/^\s*$//)||s/\n/<SOMETEXT>/g' file.txt
In this way it doesn't have problems with filenames with spaces.
Today I needed a way to print various character classes to use as input for a program I was writing. Also a nice way to visualize character classes.
Parse the output of git status.
Once the line '# Changed but not updated:' has passed print every last part of the line if it exists on disk.
**NOTE** Tekhne's alternative is much more succinct and its output conforms to the files actual contents rather than with white space removed
My command on the other hand uses bash process substitution (and "Minimal" Perl), instead of files, to first remove leading and trailing white space from lines, before diff'ing the streams. Very useful when differences in indentation, such as in programming source code files, may be irrelevant
This deals nicely with filenames containing special characters and can deal with more files than can fit on a commandline. It also avoids spawning du.
This will show you any links that a command follows (unlike 'file -L'), as well as the ultimate binary or script.
Put the name of the command at the very end; this will be passed to perl as the first argument.
For obvious reasons, this doesn't work with aliases or functions.

Tracking sharks online
Click here for a link to track sharks tagged by Florida Gulf Coast University and the University of Florida.
You can follow 10 sharks tagged off Lee County, two bull sharks, named Chloe and Hoover, and eight tiger sharks, named Ash, Chuck, Domski, Kelli, Ray J, Sophi, Sweet Caroline and Virginia.
In baseball terms, the scientists went 0 for 85 last week.
Over two long days, scientists from FGCU and the University of Miami soaked 85 baited hooks off Fort Myers Beach in an attempt to catch bull, great hammerhead and tiger sharks.
They didn�t get a bite.
�We�ve never been skunked with that many baits in the water,� said Bob Wasno, education and resource coordinator at FGCU's Vester Field Station. �You�d think we would have snagged one just swimming by.�
These trips were part of two ongoing research projects.
FGCU professor of marine science Darren Rumbold is studying mercury in sharks, while University of Miami scientists are conducting a behavioral ecology study of the three shark species.
To catch their target species, the scientists use shark-friendly gear known as drum lines.
A drum line starts with 40-pound weight with an eye bolt at the top.
Attached to the eye bolt is 70 feet of 900-pound monofilament line, at the end of which is a 16/0 circle hook � circle hooks catch fish by the lip or jaw instead of the gills or gut.
Many shark species need to swim to pass oxygen over their gills, and the long line lets a hooked shark circle until it is brought to the boat.
Essential to the research are smart position or temperature tags, which send a shark�s position to a satellite every time the animal surfaces.
Since 2010, the University of Miami has tagged more than 80 tiger, bull and hammerhead sharks in the Keys, the Bahamas and Hawaii.
FGCU bought 20 SPOT tags for $5,000 apiece to help with Rumbold�s mercury study � the money for the tags came from the West Coast Inland Navigational District.
In 2010, the FGCU-Miami team SPOT tagged three great hammerhead, two bull and eight tiger sharks in the same area they fished last week.
�This is a pocket of biodiversity,� Miami doctoral student Austin Gallagher said. �There�s a lot of life. A lot of things for sharks to eat. It�s a great place to target sharks.�
Many shark populations are declining because of overfishing and habitat loss, and data about shark movements could help fisheries managers protect important shark breeding or feeding areas.
�Sharks are difficult to study,� Gallagher said. �They�re large, and they move constantly. We like all species, but we�re looking for the biggest, baddest and most threatened.�
Following sharks also helps Rumbold determine how mercury moves through the food web offshore and in estuaries.
�I�m using mercury as a tracer to understand who�s eating who,� Rumbold said.
Mercury, especially its organic form, methylmercury, is bad business because it can impair neurological development in fetuses, infants and children.
Methylmercury moves through the food web by bioaccumulation: Almost all fish and shellfish contain traces of mercury, and when a predator eats prey that contains mercury, the prey�s mercury accumulates in the predator�s tissues.
When that predator is eaten, the new predator accumulates its mercury, and so on up the food web.
Sharks, of course, are at the center of the food web.
The most common way for humans to become exposed to methylmercury is by eating fish high on the food web � 40 states, including Florida, have issued mercury advisories for the consumption of fish.
Rumbold is also looking at mercury levels in sharks in the Ten Thousand Islands and reef fish in the Keys.
Mercury occurs naturally in the environment, but it is also introduced through human activities, including mining and burning coal and medical waste, and Rumbold�s data might ultimately be used to reduce mercury levels in the marine environment.
�Mercury�s been there forever,� he said. �All the mercury that�s ever been is still there, but we�re exacerbating it.
�The most important thing about any science is to understand a problem enough to make predictions, to tell what�s going to happen years out so we can make changes.�
But before the science can be done, sharks have to be caught.
On the first day aboard FGCU�s 25-foot research vessel last week, the scientists made five sets of 10 drum lines, and on the second day, they made 31/2 sets.
Despite such delectable shark snacks as amberjack, tuna, barracuda and king mackerel, the sharks weren�t biting.
Wasno speculated that red tide in the area had driven the sharks into deeper water.
�For the amount of effort we put in and the number of baits we had out there, a nurse shark or something should have come by,� he said. �But that�s the way science works. We�re always learning something.
�If we�d known red tide was going to be here, we would have aborted the event.�

New York � They heard the snickers and the verbal jabs. They knew what people were thinking and saying.
�You�d see it on ESPN � Sparty goes down again, Sparty loses,� Denzel Valentine said. �We just said, nobody cares about us. Around campus, people didn�t show the same love as before. Now you�re winning and everybody wants to be your best friend. That�s still in the back of our minds every time we step on the court.�
And there it is, an impossible contradiction made real. The Spartans have been overwhelming Final Four favorites since the Tournament brackets were set, yet remain driven by the slights and the slams. It�s the sign of a Tom Izzo team eyeing a long run � don�t ever forget where you were.
Chips lead to �ships, and now healthy, Michigan State carries a healthy dose of edgy perspective in its championship pursuit. Oh, the Spartans are still solid favorites, whether they like it or not. Connecticut will have a noisy homecourt advantage Sunday in Madison Square Garden with a Final Four berth at stake, and that�s fine with Michigan State.
The seventh-seeded Huskies aren�t as feisty defensively as Virginia, which fell to the Spartans 61-59. They have a dynamic backcourt and a star guard in Shabazz Napier and present an entirely different challenge. But the challenge for Michigan State hasn�t changed much all season, with its primary opponent being its own roster.
Everyone knows the injury misery, from Branden Dawson missing nine games with a broken hand, to Adreian Payne sidelined or slowed for weeks with a sore foot, to Keith Appling waylaid by a bad wrist. Izzo said it was the toughest situation he�s ever dealt with, but he always knew the Spartans could end up here, no matter how many questioned it.
�I really wasn�t mad at the media for it,� Izzo said Saturday. �We weren�t playing as good, I just knew why. And I�m not vindictive about it, I�m really not. It was hard for me to get my arms around it.�
Sticking together
I know what you�re muttering � oh no, not more injury talk. Izzo knows it too, and said he sometimes was embarrassed he couldn�t explain it better. But remember all those times it was suggested Michigan State would be better for having gone through it? Well, that time is now, if ever.
Look at what Dawson is doing, averaging 20 points and nine rebounds in three Tournament games. Look at what a revived Payne is doing, averaging 23 points. OK, don�t look at what Appling is doing, because he hasn�t recovered his shooting confidence. This isn�t just a case of adversity making a team better. It�s a case of adversity making a team hungrier, maybe even angrier.
�A lot of people on campus, when we went to go get something to eat, or went to the stores, they were just asking us, what�s going on with the team?� Dawson said. �Some people said it was my fault, and I kind of laughed it off. It was definitely frustrating.�
Now Dawson can sit in an interview room in the World�s Most Famous Arena and chuckle about his impressive return, and how some people joked he should break his hand again to get even better. When you see Dawson and Payne dominating inside, taking turns lobbing passes to each other, you forget they got into a hotel scuffle at Penn State last season. Bonding through strife often is the Michigan State way � you can�t prove toughness without being tested.
The Spartans were severely tested just four weeks ago, when Dawson returned and the assumption was, everything would be better. This was a team ranked No. 1 early, and once whole, it could raise holy terror.
Except it didn�t happen immediately. Michigan State was beaten at home by Illinois 53-46, and a week later fell at Ohio State 69-67, its seventh loss in 12 games.
�I said after the Illinois game, we could win a national championship or we could just crumble and lose in the first round of the Big Ten and the first round of the NCAA Tournament,� Gary Harris said. �We knew people were gonna say stuff, it happens every year when you lose a few games. We stuck tighter and had the right mind-set.�
UConn's dog days
From underdog to overdog, it�s been a quick transition for the Spartans. But don�t tell the Huskies about being dismissed. They weren�t even eligible for the Tournament last year because of NCAA sanctions, and while they have the same record as the Spartans (29-8), they haven�t exactly measured up against top competition.
Connecticut lost three times to Louisville, including a tidy 81-48 affair. It�s a mercurial team, and it knows exactly what it�s running into.
�They�re going to come out and try to punk you,� guard Ryan Boatright said of the Spartans. �They�re big down low. They got some strong guys on the floor. It�s all about toughness, mentally and physically.�
A month ago, the Spartans weren�t very tough, and even Izzo wasn�t sure they�d develop. Now the defense is getting stickier, Dawson and Payne are scoring and attacking, and that familiar Final Four sheen is starting to form.
All the recent acclaim � including President Obama�s bracket endorsement � might affect an entitled team. But the Spartans remember too well to fall for that.
�I think it�s better this way because of where we came from � winning, losing, winning, losing,� Valentine said. �It�s better you came from your worst times now to your best times. We just gotta seal the deal.�
Sealed with a diss? If that�s even possible, these Spartans look capable of pulling it off.

Can someone give a good summary of each expansion for Race for the Galaxy, and explain how it changes the game? Is it worth it to buy the expansions straight out? Or is it fine to stick with the base game as long as you want? What's the compelling reason to expand? Just curious!
The expansions all have different themes to them, and they change up the game play in significant ways. The first expansion, The Gathering Storm, is easily the most interesting in terms of changing up the game play. It adds in the goals, which channels play in different ways in each game. That, plus the new start worlds, provide enough extra variety that I'd suggest it's worth getting after playing roughly 25 games or so of the base game. That many games allows you to see the different strategies that are available and become familiar with the approaches. Rebel vs. Imperium has an excellent new start world mechanic, where each player gets dealt two start worlds with their opening hand and then gets to make a choice. This, on its own, justifies the expansion I think. The takeover mechanic isn't especially interesting, it just doesn't come up terribly often, so really here, you're talking about just beefing up the deck and providing more variety. The Brink of War, honestly, I don't care for. The prestige mechanics seem to tilt things pretty far back towards military being the most successful strategy. Perhaps I'm just not very adept at it, but after about 15 games or so, I'm close to taking the cards out of my deck. Hope this helps. |
The most compelling reason to get the RftG expansions is to get more cards overall. This makes the game more replayable and allows for different interactions between cards from the original set and the expansions. As for each expansion, you can expect the following:
You can play RftG with all of these expansions by using Keldon's RftG AI. |

Exclusive: Lupe Fiasco AllHipHop Interview
Latest News
Filed under:18
Lu sat down a while back with allhiphop.com. here's the interview above. enjoy.
This was a pretty weak interview. This has been a weird year for Lu. Multiple album title changes. Potential label issues. Atlantic not pushing Shining Down despite the 40k+ itunes sales the first week. His re-entry into The Underground by leaking numerous tracks and one of the year's dopest mixtapes, ENEMY OF THE STATE, due to his exclusion from MTVs hottest rapper list. A fresh leak off LASERS thats Lu's taking legal action against....All of this has gone on within the past year and LaProphecy asks about guest appearances, Top 5 Dead or alive (while failing to limit it to RAP), and advice for up and comers???? How generic can you get? Classic cookie cutter interview. No research necessary.
Do better Allhiphop.com. Do Better.
At least you were on point about The Labels.
Independent = Music
Major = Money
You just have to go into it with your priorities straight, and realize you're gonna take a loss either way you go. You're either gonna have to give up a bit of artistic integrity and control in order to make a profit and reach a larger audience, or you're going to have to grind out the loss of profit in order to put out the music you want and market the best you can and hope people pick up on it.
That was a serious top 5 dead or alive...
I feel like he really speaks from his heart about industry matters. Like a lot of artists are too careful about stepping on the toes of their label execs and what not. It's like "yo you're something like a leech my man... Stay away from my art please because ultimately you are the type of people that I am battling here..."

THIS suggests that it will be a noisy 4th of July in Cairo:Egypt�s military on Wednesday ousted Mohamed Morsi, the nation�s first freely elected president, suspending the Constitution, installing an interim government and insisting it was responding to the millions of Egyptians who had opposed the Islamist agenda of Mr. Morsi and his allies in the Muslim Brotherhood.
The military intervention, which Mr. Morsi rejected, marked a tumultuous new phase in the politics of modern Egypt, where Mr. Morsi�s autocratic predecessor, Hosni Mubarak, was overthrown in a 2011 revolution.
The intervention raised questions about whether that revolution would fulfill ...

A man fired from a Chick-fil-A in South Carolina gets even -- with KFC?
Jeffrey Coley, 50, had worked at a local Chick-fil-A until he failed to show up for two two days in a row and was fired June 18, according to The Associated Press.
So why not take out your frustrations on a rival chicken chain?
That's what Coley is now accused of doing.
According to police, Coley robbed a KFC in Rock Hill at gunpoint on Monday, pulling a gun on drive-through employees and making off with $516.
He was arrested Tuesday.
Coley is now charged with armed robbery, possession of a gun during a violent crime, failure to stop for police and possession of methamphetamine.

We all know the saying, "Men lie, women lie, numbers don't..." which has become the modus operandi on how the music industry deems it should cater to when measuring an album's worth. Nevermind the caliber of the songs that are included on those albums. That would be insane, wouldn't it? Today, platinum albums are a rarity in rap music and it's quite possible fans have been burned one too many times to get anywhere near the oven again.
For anyone who has had to endure a conversation where record sales were used as leverage, here's a list of twenty terrible Hip-Hop albums that spit in the face of the happy medium and were still financially successful. Everything that glitters ain't gold and everything that's platinum isn't worth the Hip-Hop hooray.
20. Foxy Brown - Chyna Doll [Def Jam/1999]
Lead Single: "Hot Spot"
Def Jam's anointed queen was destined to have automatic commercial success at any cost, yet and still, Chyna Doll didn't move too many heads to buy into her shenanigans in the near future. Which is a shame because the follow-up, Broken Silence was the best album of her career.
19. Jadakiss - Kiss Of Death [Ruff Ryders/2002]
Lead Single: "Times Up"
Yeah, so what Mr. Muah asked a few prolific questions that got the Pentagon a little aroused. It doesn't change the fact that he spent the rest of the LP trying to be superthug to every generic situation under the sun. When's the last time you heard "Time's Up," "Hot Sauce To Go" or "Gettin' It In" on SHADE 45? Answer: Not Never!
18. Lil Wayne - Tha Carter IV [Young Money/2011]
Lead Single: "6 Foot, 7 Foot"
The C4 bashing on TSS is still warm from the microwave, but boo-f**kin'-hoo. It's 2012 and championing celebrity status over unique talent is why commercial media for Hip-Hop is so boring and predictable.
17. Fat Joe - Jealous Ones Still Envy (J.O.S.E.) [Atlantic/2001]
Lead Single: "We Thuggin'"
Imagine the puzzlement Fat Joe experienced when he struck a million sales by dropping a couple wack songs with R. Kelly and Murder Inc. after years of performing critical beatdowns in his traditional style. Well, this project hasn't aged well because those songs aren't hits anymore and chasing the shiny record has only hurt The Don. He's been making the same album since 2001.
16. Mystikal - Tarantala [Jive/2002]
Lead Single: "Bouncin' Back (Bumpin' Me Against The Wall)"
Although Mystikal worked hard to become a star outside of the shadow of Master P's tank, 2002's Tarantula didn't have enough venom to make a baby cry for their mother. Sadly, it was his last musical output before a six-year bid in prison. And to show just how much sales screw the system, this weed plate was nominated for a Grammy in 2003.
15. Method Man - Tical 2000: Judgement Day [Def Jam/2000]
Lead Single: "Judgement Day"
The curious of case of Method Man is one that a week long special of Unsolved Mysteries couldn't crack. Even with all the talent displayed on the various Wu-Tang albums and Biggie's "The What," it never transferred to a solo release. Sure, the 28-track Tical 2000 sold off of namesake but no one's ever been in a greatest album discussion where it was brought up. Not even one where Method Man was standing there.
14. 50 Cent - The Massacre [G-Unit/2005]
Lead Single: "Disco Inferno"
Coming off the hysteria of Get Rich Or Die Tryin', 50 probably could have sold a blank disc. Truth be told, The Massacre would have benefited from having a chunk of the records erased from the master copy all the same. Too concerned with marketing strategies instead of making forceful music, 50 scanned tons of units but continued to grow disconnected from the rap world.
13. 50 Cent - Curtis [G-Unit/2007]
Lead Single: "Straight To The Bank" "Amusement Park" "I Get Money"
September 11, 2007 was an unforgettable day in Hip-Hop history. Nearly a million brainwashed fans marched out to purchase an album that probably wouldn't have graced their radar had there not been a ballyhooed sales battle with Kanye West. 50 had been delaying the album until he found the right club hit but he found a better way to get money by putting on a circus for Billboard.
12. Ja Rule - The Last Temptation [Murda Inc/2002]
Lead Single: "Thug Lovin'"
Give Ja credit for predicting the waning moments of his career. His fourth album was the last time the public would be tempted to give him a platinum plaque, thanks to his beef with another guy who isn't exempt from this list. As for the music, the leather-soft "Mesmerize" and hiring the "king of R&B," Bobby Brown, did him no favors in the long run.
11. 2Pac - Loyal To The Game [Interscope/2004]
Lead Single: "Thugs Get Lonely Too"
By 2004, the Hip-Hop community was all Pac'd out on posthumous albums with a half dozen already on the market. So of course they released another one. Jimmy Iovine's camp took full advantage of Aftermath's ongoing popularity as G-Unit, Obie Trice and executive (and lead) producer, Eminem perverted the hell out of some old recordings. They should have named this one Disloyalty To The Legacy.
10. Ying Yang Twins - U.nited S.tate Of A.tlanta [TVT/2005]
Lead Single: "Wait (The Whisper Song)"
It's a triumph that the Ying Yang Twins extended their 15 minutes of fame into years of smattering the charts with various hot songs. But you knew the cash-in was coming and the ATLiens made it rain with a very random guest list from Adam Levine to Pitbull, to Bun B and Free from 106 & Park. Subsequently, the people had finally heard enough "Hannnh's." Their next album only sold a 10th of this.
9. Will Smith - Willennium [Columbia/2000]
Lead Single: "Will 2K"
When Will Smith had a great movie (Men in Black) in his pocket going into creating an album (Big Willie Style), he made a project littered with hits. When he was coming off a Razzie in the Wild, Wild West, he made this. Any questions?
8. Dr. Dre - Dr. Dre Presents...The Aftermath [Aftermath/1996]
Lead Single: "Been There, Done That"
The Good Doctor definitely had the last laugh in his battle with Death Row but it sure did take a little rebuilding. He f**ked us up by doing the tango and cashing in with a disjointed compilation that rarely gets brought up when his legacy is being glorified.
7. Snoop Doggy Dogg - Tha Doggfather [Death Row Records/1996]
Lead Single: "Snoop's Upside Ya Head"
If you looked up "sophomore slump" in Webster's, you're liable to see a permed-out Snoop Dogg in a fedora, looking like he missed all of his friends. Even with all the turmoil the house Suge built was enduring at the time, it was still hard to believe that this was the same guy who made Doggystyle. If you let Snoop's actions dictate his opinion on the album after its release, Tha Doggfather never happened.
6. Redman - Doc's Da Name 2000 [Def Jam/1998]
Lead Single: "I'll Bee Dat"
After three consecutive albums that boasted originality and put him on rap's A-list, Reggie Noble finally cracked the platinum ceiling with the bloated, Doc's Da Name 2000. The honor is largely credited to the hilarious video/single combo of "I'll Bee Dat," as most of the album featured an unusual amount of silliness -- even for Redman -- and half-baked beats. Sometimes you just can't have the best of both worlds.
5. Soulja Boy - Souljaboytellem.com [Collipark/2007]
Lead Single: "Crank Dat (Soulja Boy)"
Look at y'all. These days, you can't speak on Soulja Boy without a hundred derogatory statements following his name. But when was he was talking about giving chicks sperm capes, he got a pass because he was a kid, thus opening the door for even more swag drones to clog up the airwaves. Tsk tsk, Hip-Hop. Tsk tsk.
4. Chingy - Powerballin' [Capitol/2004]
Lead Single: "Balla Baby"
What needs to be said that this album cover already isn't yelling to your eyeballs? Approximately three million cornballs looked at that CD, smiled, walked it to the register and offered up a crisp Andrew Jackson. It doesn't get more tragic than this.
3. Nas - Nastradamas [Columbia/1999]
Lead Single: "Nastradamas"
No matter how many times he throws a 'Matic at the end of an album title, Nasty Nasir will never be able to live this one down. If the false prophet who recorded this album would have told his '94 version that he would soon juggle gigolo fantasies with demands of 40 acres and a mule, he would have cracked a bottle across his face. And then wondered why he didn't have change to buy a lottery ticket.
2. Jay-Z & R. Kelly - Unfinished Business [Roc-A-Fella/Def Jam/Rockland/Jive/2004]
Lead Single: "Big Chips"
While the initial Best of Both Worlds was a solid enough effort only to be marred by R. Kelly's (alleged) private home activities, the sequel just showed the hottest rapper & R&B star just didn't give a damn about their fans. It's good to know all their business was "finished" shortly after this heehaw to the bank.
1. Vanilla Ice - To The Extreme [SBK/1990]
Lead Single: "Play That Funky Music"
If you were to tell me that "Ice Ice Baby" went 15x platinum, it wouldn't be a shocker, seeing that it's a globally renown example of what a one-hit wonder should sound like. But the entire album, though? Back when people used to buy singles? The album's title isn't even a household name in pop culture history nor would it be a simple task to find someone who can name you any of his other albums. When horseshit is used to analyze buyer trends, they're not putting the bloomed roses out on the market for your perusal. As with everything else, be smart with your money when it comes to supporting artists.

Alex Ryan is a fine Irish and Italian mix. She never wears a bra, which is why her puffy nipples always poke through her tank-top T-shirt. Following that up with no underwear and a pierced pussy, it's obvious pretty quick that Alex Ryan is a true slut! She loves sucking cock but her boyfriend cums way too quick so she showed up at the studio looking for a long strong dick she could really sink down her throat. Twenty-three minutes later she's all smiles as the massive cumshot facial drips down her forehead and makes a mask on her pretty face!

This is the feeling you get the day after the event when you have had so many political pundit messages slammed down your throat that you feel like you could pass a bill yourself if you just pushed the crap out as hard as these politicians do.
I have a raging election hangover today because I tried to avoid watching candidate commercials last night in between watching candidate commercials last night and now my headache has a migraine as a result of the results.
