Nov 13, 2012BO2 is somewhere between famine and war as the worst things ever. I am a janitor, and was beyond excited to take a COD holiday from work - I clean pee and poop for a living and I don

Nov 13, 2012The game doesn't improve on its predecessor at all, the singleplayer campaign is short and just casual friendly, the multpiplayer doesn't reward the players for their skill, instead it promotest a mindless frag race without any teamwork whatsoever. Just avoid this game and save your money for something better.

Oct 26, 2013i'm changing my score from 9 to 6. i used to like this game. but damn. i realise that this call of duty isn't that different from the last. it lacks innovation. let me say that again LACKS INNOVATION!

Nov 24, 2012Black ops 2 looks Amazing being set in the Future. Single Player Campaign is Great, Strike Force Missions is Good, The Zombies mode is good as well. The main problem for this game is the Choices made throughout the Single Player Campaign, which will show some endings.
Jan 16, 2013i love it i am not big call of duty fan i prefer skyrim zombies game etc But i won this game i said try it out this was best game ever i like Multiplayer & zombie maps
i love it if call of duty would turn around do whole call duty zombie i mean not just zombie maps i mean i mean like left 4 dead but better -
Jan 4, 2013
Jan 11, 2013I loved call of duty black ops II. well, in general i like the call of duty franchise. But i will admit the multiplayer was disappointing. very good campaign. i give it a 10
Jan 15, 2013
Jan 22, 2013So,I definitely like this game.The campaign is awesome,multiplayer is really balanced,there's no SUPREME WEAPON(S).I'm not a rally big fan of zombies,but I think that's good too.I give this game a 9 because of the moments when i join games in multiplayer where a team is dominating and the other team is just...3-20...
Jan 22, 2013
Jan 25, 2013I don't see why this game is getting low user reviews. The new COD is better than it's predecessor, Modern Warfare 3. It has a good storyline, even greater multiplayer and on par with it is Zombies. The low reviews are just haters. This game is an overall great game. Definitely buy it if your into multiplayer.

May 28, 2014Fantastic campaign combined with endless hours of multiplayer enjoyment not to mention zombies give this game a definite 10. My favorite COD campaign, second favorite multiplayer (BO1 first).

Jul 24, 2013it was alright, i was moderately bored most of the time. I did like the arsenal that was available: http://www.airsplat.com/cod-black-ops.htm. i will say that It was pretty to look at
Jul 25, 2013This is a Call of Duty game. This game is MW1,MW2,MW2,WAW and BO1. There are only new maps and new guns. And some futuristic flying weapons or something like that. Don't expect anything new. And also there are many multiplayer craches and glitches.
May 6, 2014Black Ops 2 is definitely one of the great Call of Dutys. It has a fantastic Campaign, the multiplayer is almost perfect except for the lag! Zombies is better than before and the multiplayer is actually fun to play, if you can't choose between Black Ops 2 and Ghosts then i STRONGLY recommend this.
Jan 16, 2014
Mar 9, 2014Probably on of the best first person shooters out there. This game is ten-times better then Ghost and MW3. Treyarch is the dominating game developer..
Apr 6, 2014
Jun 14, 2014
Jul 9, 2014its the best black ops yet but should extend the levels on campaign the guns are brilliant but should upgraid them more often the multiplayer is awsome! i recomend this to anyone who enjoyes playing high quility shooting games.
Sep 25, 2014I actually love this game!
Compared to the newer COD games being released, I feel this COD, along with MW2 & MW3, are actually good ones. I don't know if this is just my experience with others, making it enjoyable, or even if you played alone it's a great time. Someone else can cover that.
9/10, as the campaign is exactly the same as the others.
(Would be 10/10 if it was differed). -
Nov 27, 2012I am a fan of Battlefield 3 and Gotham City imposterT.his is actually the great Call of Duty game. I played CoD 1 , Blops, and MW3. I love the map design in this game. I like the little tweak they made. I don't understand all the complaints. I actually feel like I am using my brain to play, unlike mw3.

Dec 23, 2012This is by far, the best Call Of Duty game since World at War, Black ops 1 was great, MW3 sucked dick but this one is amazing!, great story line and amazing multiplayer and amazing zombies
Dec 14, 2012All you have to do is look at critic reviews to see how good this game is; 15 positive, 3 mixed & 0 negative.
User reviews 208 negative, haterz gonna hate. -
Mar 3, 2013I do like this game, but the only thing keeping it alive is its on line Multiplayer experience. The campaign didn't excite me as such and the zombies well I can say that there is an improvement. Overall the game is not as bad as most people exaggerate.

Jan 27, 2013
Dec 22, 2012I've only played a little bit of this game, but it's fantastic. Multiplayer is fun, as is zombies. I'm not into games like this for the campaign, so if there's any criticisms there, I can't really comment, but both zombies and multiplayer make this game worth it.
Nov 24, 2012
Feb 8, 2013Bo2 is pretty good but isn't as good as BO1 I find that some weapons are off balenced but its all good. Its a really fun game you should buy it
Mar 30, 2013
Dec 18, 2012
Feb 3, 2013I really think that COD Black Ops II is the best game in the series by far. The creators have really dug down and tweaked a lot of things that I wasn't really happy with in the first Black Ops. I like the new features that they have added to the multiplayer portion of the game, and have little complaints towards things that they could work towards in future games.

Nov 18, 2012Must I even write a review? Call of Duty is the most absolute piece of bullocks I have ever seen in my years of gaming. Have fun wasting $50-$70 more on a new game that is pretty much the same as the one before. Viva la Cod
Dec 17, 2012Call Of Duty Black Ops 2 is a game that I think you will enjoy on ps3 very much. Black Ops 2 has everything you need like...the campaign, Zombies, and the one and only "Multiplayer" (Which is the main event)
So If I were you...GO BUY THE GAME! -

Feb 23, 2013Let tthe haters hate, cause probably they are all noobs. I love this game, its addictive BUT quickscoping isnt as fun anymore. And host migrations damn it.
Apr 26, 2013Robots everywhere, and a sniper rifle with an x-ray scope that can shoot through walls. That really right there was enough to get me to enjoy this game. I feel the Black Ops spin off series has been the best thing to happen to COD in ahwile compared to the Modern Warfare series. All in all a great modern shooter.

Nov 15, 2012
Nov 18, 2012Game released for PS3 crashes locally or online after 2 rounds of zombies or multiplayer. The patches have not fixed the issues for me (as of 1.03). This will be the last COD I buy, and I'm looking to return/sell my copy now.
Nov 13, 2012
Nov 19, 2012
Nov 18, 2012Complete and utter garbage. Graphics have improved minimally, but it still feels like that colorless 2x2 box with a bunch of 6 years olds with ADHD screaming at each other that everyone knows and loves. The story has all the same plot twists, mechanics are still horrible (not changed from the last games) and they still do not have dedicated servers. This game lacks any modern features.
Nov 15, 2012
Nov 28, 2012OMG seriously, what's with all the **** conspiracy. This game is fine. It's just more COD. You get what you expect. Don't listen to these nuts. Go rent it from Redbox. It's still a good time.
Nov 19, 2012
Nov 14, 2012This is exactly what i was expecting, Nice Zombies, typical MP, and decent Single player. If you people that rates zero want something other than this run and gun arcade shooter, then play battlefield, you all got what you wanted and changed this game into what it is, blame yourselves not the producer.
Nov 15, 2012
Nov 17, 2012How did this game above 0? Again, Activision making millions on glitchy game. Everyone who owns a fat ps3 or slim has random freezes or auto shut down. Several of those received the ylod because of it. Activision is ruining the gaming industry. It is no longer about fun. It's about keeping people addicted through skinner box/dopamine and annually making millions.

Nov 15, 2012One of the biggest draws for Black Ops 2, zombies, has been completely and utterly ruined. Tranzit is horrible... If you're only going to buy Black Ops 2 for zombies, then don't because you will be sorely disappointed.

Nov 15, 2012Black Ops II is exactly what everyone expects from Call of Duty. The action is fast, and smooth. Retaining the 60fps frame rate in multiplayer is what CoD is all about. The campaign isn't great, but the multiplayer is solid.
Nov 14, 2012
Nov 15, 2012Why are "professional" critics so much harder on Treyarch than Infinity Ward? COD:BO2 is a MUCH more well-rounded game than previous versions. More importantly, the story of the main game is the first in ANY call of duty that has kept me engaged. If this game is a 8.2, than MW3 should have been a 7. It's harder and harder to take reviews serious anymore. 9/10
Nov 16, 2012
Apr 14, 2013After playing this game for a few months, I can say it is honestly impossible to not rage at this game with all the lag and BS that goes on. Pistols are OP'd, snipers run around quickscopin. I could write a 2 page essay about the flaws of this game's multiplayer. However I still don't believe it deserves a 4, its probably still better than 90% of fps out there

Jan 12, 2013One of the most complete, albeit shaky, packages the series has ever seen. [Issue#226, p.68]
Jan 3, 2013While the campaign length is fairly standard of past iterations of the series, it's worth multiple playthroughs and the multiplayer offers endless hours of fun and enjoyment; whether it's slaying zombies or facing off against other players in a wide range of multiplayer modes with an endless number of loadout combinations.
Dec 23, 2012Worth checking out for online and the sci-fi novelty value alone. [Jan 2013, p.95]

When Shimano Dura-Ace DI2 was released, it set the world on fire. Electronic shifting now comes to the Ultegra group in the form of the 6770 STI shift/brake levers. With Di2, shifting is easier than ever before, and more precise too - imagine clicking the mouse on your computer, and that's the kind of touch that shifts Ultegra Di2! Intuitive, less effort, more precision.
These integrated shift/brake levers work seamlessly as the control center for the Ultegra Di2 group.
Please Note: All Di2 components on the bicycle require the same firmware version. Using Di2 components with different firmware versions may cause malfunctions. To update the firmware on your components, use the Di2 system checker from Shimano by clicking here.

Quarrier Corner: Stay safe by dressing weather appropriate
As the snow flew, the wind blew, and the temperature plummeted last week we are all could use a refresher on winter safety. It seems as though more and more students are trying to survive the winter season by wearing what they would in late spring or early fall.As I write this, it is nine below zero and thank goodness the wind isn't blowing. If it were, things would get brutal really quickly. The morning of our late start on Dec. 5, a couple students ended up getting stuck on the way to school and entered the building chattering while wearing hooded sweatshirts. While it might not seem "cool" to wear a thick coat, head cover and gloves, better safe than sorry. The moral of this paragraph is to emphasize safety with our kids, because the weather can be unforgiving.As a member of the Dell Rapids Connections coalition I'd like to thank those who joined us at the Pizza Ranch on Dec. 2 for our fundraiser. We will continue to connect families to community resources.December is Distracted and Drunk Driving (or 3D) Awareness Month. According to the South Dakota Department of Public Safety-Office of Accident Records, the year of 2012 had 609 crashes attributed to drinking. What might surprise you is there were 1,142 crashes due to "Distracted Driving" which includes cell phones and other electronic devices. With that in mind we are going to have all the eighth grade students of Dells Public and St. Mary experience a driving simulator during the last days of the semester. The simulator, which is provided by the Sioux Empire Safety Village, imitates the effects of driving while distracted or impaired. We also will have the simulator at the Dec. 16 boys basketball game at St. Mary and the double header basketball game Dec. 20 at Dells Public. If you attend the games please stop in to observe or undergo the experience yourself.Our students are also involved in Christmas for our Kids with donation days throughout this week.On behalf of the middle school students and staff, I wish you all a safe and joyous holiday season.

Arguments against gun control based on the Second Amendment are mostly bluff and hot air. In fact, our gun control laws have miles to go before they run into the Second Amendment.
The Second Amendment means what the US Supreme Court says it means, not what the NRA says it means. The defining case is DC vs. Heller, 2008. There the SC ruled that the government could not (a) forbid keeping handguns at home for self-defense, and (b) could not require that the hand guns be kept in inoperable condition, as that would negate their utility for self-defense. That's it, that's all. The Supreme Court also stated that the right to bear arms "is not unlimited" and specifically stated that nothing in the ruling was intended to invalidate laws governing who could buy guns, how they are sold, or where they are carried outside the home. The Court also noted validity of restrictions on "unusual and dangerous weapons" using the M16 as an example. In MacDonald vs Chicago, 2010 the ruling was extended to state governments as well.
Banning semiautomatics and pistols small enough to carry in your pocket, banning public carry, requiring that buyers and owners of guns and ammo be screened and licensed, and requiring that guns be registered WOULD ALL BE OK UNDER THE SECOND AMENDMENT.
Let's get to work !
The only problem is that none of that would make a measurable impact on crime.

PTP Extension
this wiki
The Picture Transfer Protocol (PTP) facilitates remote operations on a camera connected computer. Typical operations are uploading/downloading photos and remote captures.
Most cameras support some basic operations over PTP, but often only in a limited fashion. For example, downloading of files can be limited to just JPEG files.
The PTP extension for CHDK discussed in this article is does not alter the standard operations but adds new CHDK-specific operations instead. This is due to the complexity involved in altering or complete overwriting the standard operations. It also means that special tools are required to access this new functionality.
The CHDK extension was first added to the CHDK trunk in changeset 957, and has been enabled for all cameras since changeset 1116
Related forum thread: [1]
An overview of the functionality available through the PTP interface is described below. The specific functionality and usage depends on which client application you use. The canonical reference to the CHDK PTP protocol is core/ptp.h in the CHDK source tree.
File transfer
Files can be uploaded to and downloaded from any part of the file system.
Script execution
The PTP interface allows execution of lua scripts sent over PTP. In general, any scripting function available to normal CHDK scripts can be executed remotely. There are some additional functions specific to PTP, described in Lua/PTP Scripting.
Some of the features available using Lua scripts include
- Switch to and from record mode
- Switch recording modes, e.g. Av, Tv, Video
- Adjust exposure parameters, focus, zoom etc.
- Shoot pictures or video
- Manipulate Canon menus and settings with simulated key presses
- List, create and delete files and directories
- Return values from script, send and receive arbitrary messages between the camera and PC
- Shutdown or reboot the camera
Remote display
In CHDK 1.1 support has been added for streaming the contents of the camera LCD display over PTP. (revision 1921 and later)
Debugging features
- Read and write camera memory
- call arbitrary camera functions
LibUSB Driver for Windows
All the client applications below require libusb-win32 driver on Windows:
- It is available for Windows 2000, Windows XP 32 Bit, Windows Vista 32/64 Bit, Windows 7 32/64 Bit.
- It must be installed as a Device Driver, NOT a Filter Driver.
- It will break your ability to download photos through Windows built-in Wizard, but don't worry you can do it through PTP instead using one of the client applications below.
To install libusb-win32 on Windows:
- Download the latest binary release from here
- Extract archive
- Connect camera via USB and turn on in Play mode
- Let Windows install its built-in driver if not already installed
- Run \bin\inf-wizard.exe from extracted archive
- Select your camera from the list of attached USB devices
- Hit Next and save the resulting INF file to a new folder
- Hit Install Now...
- It should appear in Device Manager as libusb-win32 devices > Canon Digital Camera
- No PC reboot is needed
Client applications
As described above, a client program compatible that implements the CHDK protocol is required to access these features
- If you are new to ptpcam check out ptpcamgui below. More advanced users may wish to use ptpcam.
- Download:
- 1) download and install libusb (see install instructions above)
- 2) go here (German CHDK forum topic on the development of ptpcam with CHDK extensions)
- 3) download ptpcam_Vx.x.zip at the end of the first message.
- Note that PTP is simply a protocol for communicating with your camera and is available on many cameras not just Canon. The version of ptpcam available in the forum link has CHDK extensions added to communicate to the CHDK code on your camera. This is a derivative of the opensource ptpcam available at http://libptp.sourceforge.net/ (this source code doesn't include CHDK extensions, also note: no compiled executable is available at the sourceforge link).
- If you are comfortable writing batch scripts (or perl/python/... scripts) for your PC, ptpcam can be used to download jpg files and upload lua scripts and execute CHDK lua scripts on your camera all while your camera is carefully lined up on your subject and mounted to a tripod (when, for most Canon cameras, removing the memory card is not possible).
- Keep in mind the fact that commands sent to your camera via ptpcam will take more time to complete than it takes for ptpcam to return control to your script. So make sure that after you issue a ptpcam --chdk="blah blah" command, that you have inserted a delay in your (batch file, perl, ...) script running on your PC to give the camera time to finish its business before you go poking the camera again.
- To give yourself access to the same functionality as ptpcamgui create the file A/CHDK/LUALIB/lptpgui.lua with the text from below. This is a copy of what ptpcamgui copies to your SD card to enable many of its functions. If you want the latest version, you will find this on your memory card after using ptpcamgui to download files from your camera.

- Note the redefine of print before your script runs in the exec_luafile code above. This allows your print commands to also be seen by your (batch file, perl,...) script running on the PC. The output can be fetched using the ptpcam --chdk="getm" command (see perl script below for an example). This print output stays in memory on your camera until you perform a getm so if you don't plan on reading the messages using getm you may want to add if cam_print==nil then cam_print=print end and use cam_print in your scripts instead to avoid a possible memory over-use issue.

- The source code as well as the original proposal consist of both a patch for the SVN trunk and a patch for the ptpcam program. The latter adds the option --chdk which starts an interactive prompt to communicate with the connected camera. A version of ptpcam is maintained in the chdkde source tree, with builds available from the chdkde forum (download ptpcam_Vx.x.zip). The ptpcam executable may be built for Windows or Linux.
- ptpCamGui is a graphical front end for ptpcam. Builds are available from the chdkde forum It's also part of CHDK Shell.
- A forum thread including descriptions can you find here.
- The source code for the frontend and the DLL is available on the ptpCamGui assembla project.
- ptpCamGui is only available for Windows.
- English translation of instructions for using can be found here. Note that despite coming from a German site, both English and German languages are supported in the same .exe and are set automatically (based on your Windows installation language setting).
- First time users note that the big red camera icon is used both to enter camera mode and to shoot (when radio buttons to right select "Photo").
- An under development client. Considered pre-alpha because functionality and APIs are subject to change. However, the snapshot builds are usable for most common operations.
- CHDK 1.1 remote display is supported.
- >Source and builds can be found on the chdkptp assembla project. A thread in the chdk forum is available for discussion.
- chdkptp provides a lua API to the CHDK protocol on the PC. A CLI and optional GUI based on IUP are implemented in Lua. This allows easy customization, and enables end users to quickly implement complex interactions with code on the camera.
- chdkptp is compatible with windows and linux.
chdkcam (historical)
CHDKCAM is a Windows program that provides a graphical interface to the camera and also allows live streaming of the camera's screen. The CHDKCAM binaries should also be compatible with the adapted ptpcam from the original source.
CHDKCAM is only compatible with early development versions of the protocol, it is not compatible with the current CHDK or CHDKDE builds.
Usage notes
In order to get CHDKCAM or ptpcam to work properly you might need to disable the "Canon Camera Access Library" service (or, if that doesn't work, the "WIA" service).
Make sure you've got access to USB; in some cases this means switching to root (or changing permissions).
Development details
Also see the original documentation and the forum thread.
- Download/upload fails with code 0x2ff or the camera crashes when you try to transfer a file
- Perhaps you didn't correctly specify the file on the camera. Always use the full path and start with a capitalised 'A'. For example: "download A/DCIM/100CANON/IMG_1234.jpg test.jpg"
- note this mainly applies to ptpcam, chdkptp corrects the names for you.
- The canon firmware does not recognize key presses (real or from script) when PTP is connected
- There are two known workarounds:
- Switch to record mode using switch_mode_usb script function. Keys will still be enabled if you switch back to play.
- On many DryOS cameras, post_levent_to_ui(4484) will also unlock the keys.
Adding support for another camera/firmware version (historical)
note the following is for historical reference only. PTP is implemented in all complete CHDK ports now. As with CHDK itself it is usually a good idea to base your efforts on the sources of a similar camera. The essential steps to get any CHDK PTP support are as follows.
- Find the add_ptp_handler function for your firmware.
- Make sure init_chdk_ptp is started as a task.
This should enable you to connect with ptpcam --chdk and download/upload files, read/write memory and execute remote functions as well as Lua code.
Next you probably want to find a way to switch the camera to record mode (and back to playback mode). How to do this depends on the camera, so you probably need to check your reference source for this.
Finally you might want to add specific functions like those needed for CHDKCAM.
Functionality Comparison (historical)
The various variants (original source, CHDKCAM, proposal for addition to trunk) of the CHDK PTP extension support the following functionality.
current trunk | original | CHDKCAM | proposal | |
file upload/download | x | x | x | x |
memory read/write | x | x | x | x |
remote function calls | x | x | x | x |
mode switching | L | x | x | |
Lua code execution | x | x | x | x |
retrieval of props and params | L | x | x | |
camera shutdown/reboot | L | x | ||
directory reading | L | x | ||
script output retrieval | L1 | x | ||
video settings | x | |||
versioning | x | x |
L=functionality available using Lua
1 script error messages are returned and scripts can send arbitrary data, but console output is not returned.
Note that the proposal has much less extensions as the idea is to keep CHDK PTP as small as possible and provide the rest of the functionality (e.g. mode switching, shutdown/reboot) via scripting.
Availability (historical versions)
The proposal version, with some minor modifications, has been included in CHDK trunk since changeset 957
At mweerden's github one can find the original sources as well as a follow-up attempt at a minimal version for inclusion in the SVN trunk. At ewavr's site you can find his CHDKCAM program and binaries for various firmwares.
Below is an overview of the currently supported firmwares. Here "cc" means there is a CHDKCAM version, "mg" it's supported in mweerden's code, "(b)" that there is a binary, "(s)" that it's in the source and "(p)" that there is a patch.

Bucs try to make up ground during visit to Milwaukee
Pirates nemesis Gallardo starts opener for first-place Crew vs. Locke
As recently as Aug. 7, the Pirates were breathing down the Brewers' necks, sitting a single game behind them in the National League Central and looking ready to take over at any moment.
But a seven-game losing streak has put some serious space between the two contenders, and this weekend's series in Milwaukee could be pivotal for Pittsburgh's chances to stay in the division race.
The Pirates snapped a seven-game losing streak Wednesday and sit six games behind the Brewers, who have held first place since April 5.
"The Pirates are looking to rebound right now, so we need to come out and still do our thing and make sure we stay on top," said Brewers reliever Zach Duke. "This is where everybody wants to be. You want to be in contention when this time of year comes around. That's what makes it fun."
Recent history doesn't bode well for Pittsburgh: Since the start of 2007, Milwaukee is 86-39 against Pittsburgh for its best winning percentage (.688) against any regular opponent (the Crew is 3-0 against the Indians). Not counting the Astros, who just moved to the American League West last season, the Brewers' winning percentage against the Pirates over the past eight seasons is the best of any team over a division opponent.
The series is even more lopsided at Miller Park, where the Brewers have won 53 of 66 matchups since the start of '07, while averaging six runs per game and 1.6 home runs per game. The Brewers are 10-3 against Pittsburgh this season, including a 5-1 mark at Miller Park.
Despite the statistics, the Brewers certainly don't seem to be taking their divisional rivals lightly.
"Baseball's just one of those games where you never look at a team and say, 'They lost their last five or six games, we'll go in with a different attitude,'" said Brewers second baseman Scooter Gennett. "They're a good team. We know that every time we play them; they battle. It's going to be important to get ahead early and keep chipping away."
Starting with this series, the Brewers will play 25 of their final 35 games within the National League Central, meaning that they'll have plenty more critical games down the stretch. While the division was a four-team race at the All-Star break, a good series for Milwaukee this weekend could mean that only St. Louis is particularly close to the top.
"Obviously, in September, we have all those teams again," Gennett said. "It's definitely important. They're battling too. It's important for us to take as many games as possible when we're playing teams from our division."
On Friday, the Brewers will turn to right-hander Yovani Gallardo, who is 12-4 with a 2.57 ERA in 24 career games against the Pirates. He's 1-0 with a 2.49 ERA against them this season.
His opponent, Jeff Locke, has struggled against Milwaukee, putting up a 1-2 record and a 4.55 ERA in five starts against the Crew. He's coming off a no-decision against Washington in which he pitched 5 2/3 innings and didn't allow a run.
Brewers: Ramirez back to his old self
For Aramis Ramirez, healthy numbers have gone hand-in-hand with a healthy hamstring since his June return from the disabled list.
Ramirez was batting .129/.233/.274 in the 19 games before being placed on the DL on May 13. Since returning from the injury on June 4, Ramirez has raised his season batting average nearly 50 points by hitting .325/.358/.494. In the National League, only Ben Revere has a better batting average over that span.
"This is what I expect from him," said Brewers manager Ron Roenicke. "He's that consistent guy. He's starting to drive in the runs again. Saw him drive a couple balls over people's heads to the opposite field, which I think, when he's really swinging the bat well, that's what he does. This is what I expect him to do."
Long known as an RBI machine, Ramirez has driven in 57 runs this year after totaling only 49 RBIs in an injury-plagued 2013. Though he's only had 13 home runs, Roenicke said he's happy as long as Ramirez is driving runners in.
Sitting in the cleanup spot of an aggressive lineup, Ramirez is valuable in that he rarely strikes out. Ramirez has put the ball in play in 76 percent of his at-bats this season, and he has only a 14.5 percent strikeout rate, third lowest of the Brewers' regulars.
"When he's right, he's a doubles guy," Roenicke said. "He doesn't punch out a lot. He's an early swinger, but he's never had high strikeouts. You see him sometimes take an awkward swing and just flick the bat out there and it's a base hit. Those guys are important to have."
Pirates: Morton has sports hernia
Pirates starter Charlie Morton disclosed the injury he has in his right hip is a sports hernia on Wednesday.
Morton went on the disabled list Sunday with "right hip inflammation" and noted the injury has been bothering him since a June 2 start in San Diego. The right-hander sinkerballer met with Dr. Thomas Byrd in Nashville on Sunday and is going to take some time away from starts to let his hip calm down.
Morton said the issue has not improved since it first flared up. The Pirates will continue to assess Morton, but for now, the future of his 2014 season is unclear.
"I'm still playing catch, I plan on throwing some bullpens," Morton said. "We'll see where I'm at and come back and try to contribute down the stretch."
Worth noting
• Brewers catcher Jonathan Lucroy leads the National League with 42 doubles. He is vying to become the first primary catcher in modern MLB history to lead his league in doubles.
• With a win Wednesday, the Pirates avoided an eight-game losing streak, which would've been their longest since dropping 10 consecutive contests from July 29-Aug. 7, 2011.

Granite Status: Sen. Kelly Ayotte in the political catbird seat right now
She had already been gaining prominence before the partial government shutdown, taking a lead role in probing and criticizing the Obama administration over the Sept. 11, 2012, terrorist attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya.
Ayotte had been successfully straddling the line between Tea Party favorite and establishment Republican — until the shutdown occurred.
During the shutdown, Ayotte turned up prominently on talking head TV. Her mantra was yes, Obamacare should be repealed — or at least delayed — but shutting down the government was the wrong avenue, from a political and a policy perspective.
Granite, indeed, when Ayotte took Cruz to task in a Republican Senators meeting for his strategy. She blamed him for a conservative group's attacking her and other Republican senators for supporting the key procedural vote that allowed the Senate to vote down the House-passed de-funding of Obamacare.
No matter. Ayotte strongly disagreed with the shutdown approach. And she assumed a leadership role in the legislation that ended the partial shutdown. She was the first senator to publicly announce the Senate deal.
"What we did was prompt our leadership and push the leadership to get something done," Ayotte said. Acting as a "catalyst," she said, "is the best way to frame it."
"I was just looking to call it as I see it," she said. "I ran against Obamacare and my voting record is very strong against Obamacare. But nobody who was pushing this de-funding movement could describe for me what the end game was.
A LITTLE SELF-PROMOTION? If anyone in the media had missed all the praise for Ayotte, her office saw to it to make us keenly aware.
Last Thursday, her office sent out an email with the subject line: "What They're Saying: Ayotte Praised for Bipartisan Leadership and Showing 'Needed Spine' to End Government Shutdown, Address Debt Ceiling."
The aide noted that Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, and both House members, as well as Senators and House members across the country on both sides of the aisle, often do the same.The aide said the email was "an update on (Ayotte's) legislative work" and such emails in general are "informational in the same way the press releases that members of Congress issue every day are informational.
Really? Self-promotion has nothing to do with influencing elections or raising money? Since when?

The legislation includes limiting ammunition magazines to 15 rounds, universal background checks for gun sales or transfers and requirements of gun customers to assume the costs of background checks.
The Democratic governor's approval of the bills, agreed upon by the Colorado legislature after rancorous debate, has incurred the wrath of Republicans who came by the hundreds to testify against the measures, The Denver Post said Wednesday.
Pollster Floyd Ciruli said Hickenlooper's next challenges will come when Democrat-sponsored bills on oil and gas, and on the state's death penalty, come before lawmakers.
"We're just getting warmed up here," Ciruli said. "The Democrats have got the bit in their mouth and they are moving down the road."
The magazine bill has produced the most anger, the newspaper said, after Colorado-based magazine maker Magpul threatened to move if the measure passes.
"Our moving efforts are underway. Within 30 days we will manufacture our first magazine outside the state of Colorado. This ordeal has taught us to be more diverse geographically," said Doug Smith, Magpul's chief operating officer.

Nashville, Tenn. — Boy, we all have different definitions of what's insulting.
According to a report from CBS Sports' Jon Heyman, the Tigers made an offer to starting pitcher Anibal Sanchez earlier this offseason — to the tune of four years, $48 million.
And also according to Heyman, Sanchez's representatives responded by saying that would insult the 28-year-old right-hander.
Never mind that Sanchez has a sub-.500 career record (48-51), no Cy Youngs or All-Star appearances to his credit, and has only made $14 million in his career.
Yet, a $12 million annual salary was a slap in the face?
Look, Sanchez is going to get a good payday, deservedly so, and nobody thought it'd take just $48 million to get him to sign on the dotted line. He really strengthened his resume down the stretch with the Tigers, with a 2.15 ERA from Aug. 22 through the end of the regular season, then three good postseason starts.
Essentially, in that span, Sanchez went from being a solid free-agent option to the second-best starter available, behind Zack Greinke.
So Sanchez's people have sent out the word that he wants a six-year deal in the $90 million range. (Justin Verlander, by the way, is in the middle of a five-year, $80 million deal.)
And at that price, the Tigers, most definitely, will say "thanks, but no thanks."
Of course, don't be surprised if that's the final price.
Sure, if the Dodgers want Sanchez, they'll get him — because, with a colossal TV contract coming up, they plan to spend, spend and spend some more under their new ownership.
But clearly, the Dodgers' top priority is Greinke, who would give them dual aces, pitching alongside Clayton Kershaw.
And if the Dodgers get Greinke — as they're expected to do, if not this week then soon after — there's a good chance they send Sanchez, their potential backup plan, looking elsewhere.
Under that scenario, the money could dry up in a hurry. Think about it: the Yankees and Red Sox, who could use starting pitching, aren't interested in long-term deals at the moment; and the Rangers, who also are high on Greinke, aren't even thrilled with the idea of giving superstar Josh Hamilton a fourth or fifth season and, remember, wouldn't pay lefty C.J. Wilson that kind of money last offseason.
The Angels, no doubt, want Greinke back, but turning to Sanchez would be doubtful, considering they have fiscal issues of their own, having spent big last offseason on Albert Pujols and Wilson, yet didn't even make the postseason.
One team to watch is the Nationals. They're never overly shy about overpaying (see Jayson Werth), and Sanchez could give them a dynamite rotation, working alongside Stephen Strasburg and Gio Gonzalez.
A potential wild-card could be the Royals, who believe they're only a starting pitcher or two away from contention. But they might take one look at the price, utter a two-word profanity ("Gil Meche!" What were you thinking?) and walk away from the table.
There are other, more affordable options, after all, like Kyle Lohse, Edwin Jackson and Dan Haren.
So the Tigers are inclined to wait out Sanchez, and their patience could be rewarded.
Not saying he gets only "an insulting" $48 million, of course. All along, $56 million to $60 million over four years seemed more in the realistic realm.
And that'd certainly be in the Tigers' and Mike Ilitch's ballpark.

Lol he may as well not even play for the team these days.
But I'm sure he'll have something nasty for the contest
Cool. Hope he wins.
PG in the 3 point contest too.
Cynic fan: great, at least we'll derive some value out of his 10mil contract...

Great news. All-Star Saturday Night is always so much more enjoyable when you have someone to root for.
Shaq picked the best team, Charles picked a team with not shooters
I'm assuming James White didn't get picked to be in the dunk contest, since no one has mentioned. Those two would have been the frontrunners.

At least Paul can win this one without the fans screwing him again. Have fun in the dunk contest against the world, GG.

So they're doing some East v. West thing for the whole night. They'll tally up points for each side through the night and the winners get...something. Home court advantage maybe, worked so great for baseball and all.

I wonder if Green will incorporate George at all in his routine, both guys can flat out fly so could do something ridiculous.
So the plot thickens on GG's absence from the team. It's not injury related if he's going to be in the dunk contest.

Welcome to Pacers Digest! New around here? Here are three tips for making the forum a great place to talk about Pacers basketball.
- Log in. Even if you want to read instead of post, it's helpful because it lets you:
- Change your signature options. You can hide all signatures by choosing "Settings" (top right) then "General Settings" (middle left) and unchecking the box "Show Signatures" (in the "Thread Display Options" area).
- Create an ignore list. I know it may seem unneighborly. But you're here to talk about the Pacers, not argue with someone who's just looking for an argument. Most of the regular users on here make use (at least occasionally) of the "Ignore" feature. Just go to "Settings" -> "Edit Ignore List" and add the names.
Enjoy your time at PD!
James White is also in the dunk contest... This is shaping up to be a good lineup - assuming they don't do any stupid KIA-sponsored car jumps
Never half-a** two things. Whole-a** one thing.

Seems like a really nice upgrade from my 3650 DDR2.
512mbs 3d graphics card for sale! 40$
That 128 MEGGGGGGGGGS.... TIMES FOUR!!!!
Phoronix: Sapphire Radeon HD 4670 512MB
Earlier this month the ATI Radeon HD 4600 series from AMD was unveiled as the new mid-range graphics cards derived from their flagship RV770 graphics core. The Radeon HD 4650 and Radeon HD 4670 are the two RV730-based products now available. The ATI Radeon HD 4670 may not be able to compete with the Radeon HD 4800 series in all of the tests, but at a price of under $100 USD is it worth pursuing? For this article we have our hands on the brand new Sapphire Radeon HD 4670 512MB graphics card as we test it on Ubuntu Linux to see how well it can perform in our OpenGL tests and overclock with the recently added OverDrive support.
Seems like a really nice upgrade from my 3650 DDR2.
512mbs 3d graphics card for sale! 40$
That 128 MEGGGGGGGGGS.... TIMES FOUR!!!!
The conclusion states
"With the low noise output from the Radeon HD 4670, this may make it an ideal candidate for a Home Theater PC."
Until vsync support is added so that ATI xv output can be tearing-free, how can any ATI card be an ideal candidate for a linux based HTPC?
Reviews like this cause people like me to go out and buy ATI hardware for their mythtv box then spend a week days pulling our hair out wondering why there is this ugly distracting break-line that crawls around the screen when there is motion.
Why does Quake 4 perform slightly better in Ultra Quality than in High Quality? Are the graphs switched, or is something going on here?
Is the 4670 ready to replace the IGP and be supported by the Linux distros yet or would it be more prudent to wait a month or so before I take that step.
I want to upgrade RAM and the video card and the 4670 sounds like a good fit for me. I am also looking at the 9600GT as well. I don't do a lot of gaming at all and wouldn't care if I never did. I do want good equipment that makes use of what my computer can do and my IGP just does not do that IMNSHO. Question is whether it is better to upgrade the RAM first and then the video card, do both at the same time or do the video card first and then the ram.
Right now I have about 10 distros on my PC - 3 64-bit distros and 7 32-bit distros. Need to weed that down but I want to get the base computer set up first so I can get the best experience from the distro and then decide what to cut.
Had a combo mythbe/fe with an NV 7800GS, great video quality. I built a dedicated mythfe on a 780G/Radeon 3200 microATX board. I had tearing; I didn't even know what that ugly line was until I did a weeks worth of research and combed through these forums.
Like deanjo I put a cheap fanless NV card in (7200GS I think) and presto, great video quality on the mythfe.
So right now I'm pretty annoyed at the suggestion that ATI/AMD video hardware is appropriate for linux HTPC use. I think it is totaly fair and understandable that ATI has the vsync feature low on their prority list (or they are hoping the OSS driver will implement it or whatever); I just think that linux information on the ATI hardware should be pretty clear that there are several applications it won't work well for.
Aside: One thing I did with both NV cards that did not work well with ati chip is to enable the OpenGL for verticle sync option. I haven't tried without it so it may be important (or not).

XFX R9 280 Black OC Edition Graphics Card Review
It is fair to say that the market for modern Radeon GPUs has been a bit crazy over the last year or so. Their ability to perform currency mining tasks well has impacted sales, availability and pricing significantly but now AMD and their partners are getting a hold of the situation. Now with plenty of stock in the channel and prices stabilised and a new free game promotion in the works there may never have been a better time to consider one as an upgrade.Today we take a look at the XFX Radeon R9 280 Black Edition OC, a custom design factory overclocked version of the R9 280. @ Hardware Heaven
Cooler Master Quickfire Rapid-I
In the world of keyboards, there is a huge price range depending on what you are looking to get out of the keyboard and the overall quality. With mechanical keyboards, Cooler Master has done a great job of bridging the gap between lower end keyboards and the enthusiast grade keyboards. They have been able to provide options that are priced well, but still have most of the quality and features of the most expensive models. One of the glaring holes in their lineup though has been in the tenkeyless market. Their Quickfire Rapid lineup has been extremely popular, but they havent had a model with backlighting. They have finally introduced a model to fill that gap and today I have the chance to take a look at it and see how it performs. Considering the Quickfire Rapid has been in our LAN bag and on our test bench for years now, I have extremely high expectations for the Quickfire Rapid-I. @ Lan OC Reviews

Couple this with SteelSeries know how when making a gaming device and the Rival presents us with, on paper at least, a very well specced peripheral suitable for any gamer from any level. @ Vortez
Crucial MX100 SSD (512GB) Review
Computex 2014 takes place this week and one of the manufacturers launching a new product to coincide with the event is Crucial. A replacement to the M500 in their SSD range the MX100 uses the latest 16nm NAND Flash and has a slightly different price/performance ratio to their high end M550. Today we compare all of the above, along with some of the competition. @ Hardware Heaven
ASRock Fatal1ty Z97X KILLER
Hide your childrens, hide your wives! A KILLER is here! ASRock's Fatal1ty Z97X KILLER is on my test bench, after arriving in a plain white box. The only true Fatal1ty here is hopefully the one in the name, or this red and black gamer had better go back to training camp! @ techPowerUp
AMD A10 7850K + Dual Graphics Review
Using the now mature 28nm fabrication we are likely to see an improvement in performance per watt as well as various improvements in regards to the GPU. The R7 GPU is using AMDs GCN architecture that has 8 compute cores and a total of 512 shader cores. @ Vortez
Deck 87 Francium Pro Mechanical Keyboard
If there's something that people value more than a good mouse that is a good keyboard and although in the past there weren't that many models to choose from and almost every single one of those used regular membrane technology keys. To date only 5 keyboards have had the pleasure of sitting on my desk for long periods of time since the early 90s' the Microsoft Natural Ergonomic Keyboard (which i got in 1995), it's successor the Microsoft Natural Pro Ergonomic Keyboard (year 2000), the Logitech G15 Gaming Keyboard (got it back in 2005 if i recall correctly), the Professional Model S by Das Keyboard (roughly two years ago) and finally the Mad Catz S.T.R.I.K.E.7 Adjustable Keyboard (slightly just over a year ago). So as you can imagine i don't easily trust keyboards especially since i don't primarily use them for gaming and thus i only use the best for me but specially designed models like the 87 Francium Pro by Deck (a subsidiary of TG3 Electronics) which arrived on our doorstep a while back are certainly very good candidates. @ NikKTech
Genius Widecam F100
With the prevalence of Skype and the rise of personal YouTube and TwitchTV channels, the webcam is becoming as necessary as the keyboard and mouse and much like other accessories there is a wide array of options for the user to choose. Today we take a look at the Widecam F100 from Genius which boasts to be the worlds first full HD 1080p ultra wide angle webcam. Boasting many useful features for video conferencing as well as personal use, will the F100 prove itself or simply be just another webcam with just another gimmick? Join me to find out. @ Lan OC Reviews
Genius Ergo 8800 Wireless Mouse Review
The Genius Ergo 8800 Wireless Mouse is well built and incorporates all the features you would expect to find in your typical mouse. It has a fairly traditional design for universal (right-handed) comfort and it doesn't do anything extra that would require special software or setup time. Pretty much a plug and play device that is well suited for desktop use and perhaps some casual gaming. @ BigBruin
Corsair Raptor M45 Gaming Mouse Review

My boyfriend bought me this as a promise ring, and though i've had some trouble with the ring, I still fell in love with it because he bought it for me. The sizing of the ring was accurate, I wear a 5 and the 5 fit perfectly. Though after a week of wearing it, the bottom and sides of the ring started darkening and peeling. The peeling can't be seen when I have it on my finger, but its still there, and I have had to put clear polish over it to stop it from peeling anymore. It's clearly not sterling silver as it claims to be. But I still wear it everyday because its pretty, and as far as the stones and the diamonds, none of them have fallen out. I still love my ring, but I would not recommend buying from this brand or seller.
I purchased the ring as a promise ring or pre-engagement ring to let my girlfriend know of my intentions. She loved it, and when I told her it was the pre-engagement ring she said I would not be able to take it from her, as she liked that one very much. It was classic, simple and not gaudy. She said it was very much what she would have picked for herself.
