(Editor's note: To see the finish of the trio of 300s go to www.youtube.com/watch?v=c2eQj8mk-RE)
Bowling a 300 is far from routine, but it can be done.
Just ask the Jacksonville trio of Henderson Collins, Mitch Gibson and Bill Vannoy, who between them have reached perfection more than two dozen times over the years.
Heck, the 45-year-old Vannoy once rolled two 300s on the same day at a tournament in which he finished second.
But what the threesome did in a Southeast Bowling Association Inc. tournament at the Gold Cup Lanes at Russell Parkway in Warner Robins, Ga., may be a first.
The trio each rolled a 300 on the same day on the same two lanes.
Perfection times three.
That is a lot of X's — 36 combined, if you're counting. And you can certainly bet Collins, Gibson and Vannoy were June 8.
"Really," Collins said, "it was amazing."
Vannoy, 45, was the first to polish off his 300, which he counts as the 11th of a career that began when he started taking part in sanctioned leagues at 4 years old.
Next to reach perfection was Gibson, 56, who was Vannoy's doubles partner in the tournament. It was the ninth 300 for the left-hander.
"Mitch and I have been close several times to having 300s together," Vannoy said. "But we had just never done it."
Until that Saturday in Georgia in a 50-alley facility none of the three had ever seen until the tournament.
With Vannoy and Gibson having secured their 300s, the 76-year-old Gibson readied himself at the lane to try to make it a perfect threesome.
As he sought his 12th sanctioned 300 — he's rolled any number of others that aren't "official" — was Collins nervous?
"I was so excited about how they were doing I wasn't really thinking about myself," said Collins, who celebrated with both Vannoy and Gibson after their 300s. "I had to wait until they settled down and I got up there and I think after the last shot I got on my knees.
"But really believe me for me to try to explain how I was feeling and what it was all about and put it in words, I would have a problem doing that. But really since you're talking to me now, it's more exciting than what I was doing."
Has this ever been done before? The threesome said the Southeast Bowling Association was trying to get an answer to that question, although it seems highly unlikely. All three bowlers said they'd never heard of such a thing.
"We couldn't believe it," Gibson said. "We were all three striking like crazy…, and once we finally all three of us bowled 300, we were like, 'This has to be history.' … I've never heard of anybody doing it.
"Even one of the directors of the tournament who said he'd been running tournaments for over 25 years said he has never had doubles partners bowl 300, much less three bowlers. … They said they were going to do some research, but I doubt they find anything."
After Vannoy rolled his 300, a crowd began to gather around the threesome. The crowd grew after Gibson turned in his perfecto. Vannoy said the tournament basically stopped as the rest of the bowlers crowed around to watch.
"When Mitch rolled his, it was total pandemonium in the bowling alley," Vannoy said. "I bowl professionally…, but I've never seen anything like the way the crowd was after Mitch threw his 12th (strike). Everybody went absolutely nuts.
"Mr. Collins is getting ready to bowl. I'm actually jumping up and down going, 'Hey, we've got one more. Hey, calm down. Everybody quiet down.' I'm trying to do crowd control, get everybody quiet so Henderson can have his minute.
"It was awesome. He is a hall of famer and he showed why he's a hall of famer that day."
And as if a threesome of 300s wasn't big enough, Vannoy and Gibson had extra reasons to be happy — and perhaps nervous. Vannoy's parents, "Smokey" and Peggy, who met at a bowling alley, were on hand and had never seen their son throw a 300.
So, too, was Gibson's wife, Alma, and oldest daughter, Lorena Clark, who had also never seen him roll a 300.
"It was perfect timing," said Gibson, who celebrates his 22nd wedding anniversary next month. "To have them there to see that, it's just spectacular. When I finally got back to go hug and kiss my wife, she was just standing there shaking in a ball. She was so nervous. I think she was more nervous than I was throwing the ball."
Perfection is elusive in life or sports, and in bowling so many factors come into play to prevent perfection. Each bowler was asked if there was a ball he rolled that he worried might not end up being a strike.
"I felt good every time I released the ball," said Collins, who at 16 moved to Jacksonville from Engelhard and recalled when integration came to his new hometown in 1966 and allowed him to hit the local bowling alley. "I tell people every time I go to bowl I get the feeling I can roll a 300. But you know when it comes down to getting a strike, there's so many things that can go against you."
Gibson said his last two rolls "were suspect."
"On my last ball there was a pin still standing but it was leaning and all of sudden it just rolled over," he said. "That's when I fell on the floor. I was like, 'Wow!'"
Vannoy, who like Gibson is a retired Marine gunnery sergeant and now works for the Marine Special Operations Command (MARSOC), said he wasn't sure of the first ball he rolled.
"It really wasn't a good shot," he said, adding when he changed lanes on his next roll he "over adjusted."
But from there he felt good.
"After those first two, I threw all (the rest) where I wanted to throw it," Vannoy said, "but you don't always get what you want when it gets to 60 feet."
In this case, however, he did. So, too, did Collins and Gibson.
Perfection times three. How, Gibson was asked, do you top this? Or can you?
"It's hard to top," he replied. "Everybody actually stopped bowling and came down to watch all three of us bowl a 300. It was spectacular. I really felt like a professional at the time. We had a big audience watching us.
"It was so quiet when I got on the lane to throw those last three balls. When I got the strike on the first one and the people just cheered I turned around and I was like, 'Oh, my God, everybody's over here watching us.'
"It was great. It was spectacular for us."

I really enjoyed this course and I am satisfied with the material covered. Everything was straightforward with good examples. I will recommend this course to friends.
This course really helped me to rethink and improve on skills that I have not used in over 20 years. I took this course a refresher so I can re-test for my math placement. I'm hoping that this course will do that. This course was also very affordable and interesting. At the very least it has taught me some very good core algebra functions and applied them to my life.
This course was informative and very useful to me in my future educational endeavors. I loved the instructor's sense of humor and teaching style, she made algebra practical and understandable and took the "fear" out of it.
Sharon is an amazing teacher. I now know more than I did before starting this class. Thanks so much, Sharon! I believe I'm off to a good start preparing for the GRE.
Great Course, Great Teacher.
Thank you for this course. It really was what I was looking for; the format, the time flexibility, and the easy accessibility made all the positive difference for me. Thank you very much!
The class is an algebraic workout doing various problems and review of previous algebra class work. I recommend this course to those who are weak in Algebra.
This was a great course, taught by a knowledgeable instructor. I liked how the subject was put into a context that related to everyday life and was mixed with other subjects to make it more interesting. Thank you for making Algebra as painless as possible!
I usually never bother with these types of things (leaving comments), unless there are issues, but there are rare moments when things impress me so much, that I have to say something - and this is one of those times. I have actually taken algebra SEVERAL times - around 6, I believe - all around the world. Due to our family having to move around all the time, the school that I was transferring to always found the prior school's standards of Algebra to be inadequate and make me take it over. I used to love all types of math. The first two times I took algebra, I got "A"s and then from there the teachers I had were so horrid that they seemed to actually confuse me to the point where I would've thought I had a lobotomy! I had ADD, which I have tried valiantly to keep under wraps my entire life, which made learning difficult. No matter how intelligent I would appear to be, it seemed the more I tried - the harder things were for me. Who would've know that, decades later (and a few degrees later), while taking a refresher class (to keep my brain from eroding any further), I have finally found an instructor that "lifted the fog" and helped me to appreciate and understand Algebra again. This is a priceless gift. I accidentally happened upon Quantum Physics, in which Algebra seems to play a significant role - so now I feel that like it's Christmas morning and I have the BIGGEST present!! I hope the instructor gets this too, she really needs to know how wonderful she is and how much she has helped this struggling student. Thanks for everything. I appreciate it so much. Please teach other classes, I'll be sure to take anything she teaches.
Thank you for such an interesting course! When I was in high school, I could not grasp word problems and have struggled all my adult life to learn but never quite "got it." Through this course, I feel I have more confidence in setting up and working word problems using algebra than I had previous to taking the course. I especially liked the "fun facts" that you incorporated into each lesson that enabled me to be able to recognize and apply the problems to everyday situations. My favorite lesson was 11, using all of my favorite subjects in the problems! Math has always been my passion, now I can enjoy it even more!

Nothing has been confirmed about Bob/Gil or Gerry V, yet.
Didn't Bob and Gerry used to work together on the radio broadcasts after the team first moved here? Steve (not the comedian) Martin did the play-by-play on television until he moved back to Carolina.
I like Gerry V, but I was getting tired of him trying to force New York teams on us! This is Saints country, Who Dat Nation.... But I still liked Tge bambino!
I was looking at Gerry V's twitter and it seems that he's only going to be writing for NOLA.com at this point but he is being evasive about the situation
Hey Gamebreaker, did Gerry f#%^ your wife or something? He is a top notch analyst, and to say anything otherwise is absurd
Gerry V is an annoying northeasterner so I completely understand why some people don't like him. He does know basketball though. CAPICHE? get it i'm from New York and there are a lot of Italians in New York!
lol I like how everyone just ignored my posts, thanks guys

Sick days, loaner cars and holiday marketing
Here are three tips to reduce unnecessary waste and expenses at your detail shop, courtesy of www.AutomotiveManagementNetwork.com.
Eliminate sick days
What causes sick days? Sick employees, of course! So, how about doing what you can to prevent them from getting sick in the first place?
Before winter arrives, offer free flu shots. They really do work. When winter arrives, do what you do at home; fire up a humidifier. Offer to assist with a health club membership.
Basically, make a list of all of the things that you do (or should be doing) to maintain your health. Then see what you can offer to your staff. When the car count explodes during lousy weather, your odds of having a full staff will increase.
How to effectively offer loaner cars
Oh, the curse of loaner cars. If you don't have them, it's a problem. Of course, if you do have them, it's a problem, too. The trick is to take the time to create a good system to address the issues which occur when offering loaners.
Excellent procedures will reduce the vast majority of the problems that tend to happen. Develop a solid system for loaning the cars out. Set a budget and stick to it no matter what. Make a weekly inspection checklist to keep the cars ready for use.
In today's market, most shops should offer loaner cars. Figure out how to do it right and you will appreciate the benefits.
If we take a look at our calendars we quickly see that there are plenty of other holidays aside from Christmas and the Fourth of July; and it seems like there are more being added every year! It's pretty easy to pick one holiday each month and figure out some type of marketing to coincide with it.
Get creative and make it fun for your customers! A holiday of the month promotion might be a great marketing system for your shop. After doing it for the first year, you will then have it solidly in place and you can repeat the system annually with only minor modifications.

A couple of weeks ago, the Oak Hill Academy Lady Raiders traveled to Heritage Academy and held the 6-foot-3, and heavily recruited, Rachel Hollivay to just 10 points. In the first two periods of Tuesday night's rematch at Oak Hill, it looked like it was going to be another one of those nights for Hollivay.
The Lady Patriot came to life, however, in the second half of the game. It took all of regulation and one overtime period, but Heritage eventually outlasted the Lady Raiders 40-38.
Both defenses were working hard when the game started. Oak Hill's Paige Dawkins broke the ice in the intense first quarter with a lay-up to put her team up 2-0. Heritage quickly put in four of its own.
Tori Ellis hit the game's first three-point shot with five minutes to play in the first to make it a 5-4 Oak Hill advantage. In the next five minutes, there would only be two more points scored, a Heritage shot that sent the Lady Patriots into the second with a 6-5 lead.
In the second period, the defenses began to relax, as Ellis scored the quarter's first point on a free throw. Trailing 8-6, Dawkins threw up two for an 8-8 tie.
The scoring continued to go back-and-forth, with Oak Hill's Rachel Herndon getting her first two points, followed by Kayla Hall's shot under the goal. Ellis put up three more points, as Herndon closed out the first half with a two-point shot to give the Lady Raiders a 17-14 halftime lead.
Herndon picked up right where she left off in the second with a pair of free throws and a lay-up to score the first four points of the quarter for Oak Hill. At the time, this gave the Lady Raiders a 21-19 lead, but that would be short-lived.
Heritage battled back to tied, and the Lady Patriots went on a tear, scoring eight consecutive points to take a 27-21 lead. With 13 seconds to go in the third, Maegen Ellis dropped in a two-point shot to make it a 27-23 game going into the final period.
It was time for the Oak Hill defense to clamp down, and the Lady Raiders did just that. In the fourth quarter, they allowed just seven points to the Lady Patriots.
Meanwhile, Ellis led off the period with another three-pointer. When Oak Hill got the ball back, she repeated that shot for three more.
Anna Ready then got in on the three-point action with one of her own, finally tying the game at 32-32.
Heritage would then get a two-pointer to make it 34-32, but when fouled attempting to make a shot, Dawkins sunk two free throws to tie the game with 10 seconds left.
Those 10 seconds were not enough for Heritage to march back down the court for a winning shot. The clock expired and sent the game into overtime.
Shay Atkins was the first to get on the board in the fifth period, netting two points in a quarter where there was not a lot of scoring.
Ready put in a pair of free throws that would tie the game at 38-38 with just seconds to go before another overtime period would come about.
Unfortunately for the Lady Raiders, Hollivay came to life in the period, scoring six points, including the final two with four seconds left on the clock. That would prove to be enough for the victory.
Tori Ellis would finish the game with 13 points, while Herndon scored eight, and Dawkins netted six.
Ready scored five, and Hall, Atkins, Maegen Ellis and Kim Kelly all score two points each for Oak Hill.
Hollivay finished the game with 19 points, most of which came in the second half.
Oak Hill will take the court again tonight, facing Lamar at home, beginning at 4 p.m.

Midway between Norway and Iceland the Faroe Islands raise out of the Atlantic Ocean like a hardy little flower. The Islands offer thrilling experiences and a rugged environment: steep cliffs rising from the open sea, narrow straits between the islands, natural harbours surrounded by small villages and a countless number of birds.
The Faroese are proud people, who due to the geographical location have been able to preserve their own culture and their own language which has its roots in the Old Norse language from the Viking Age. History is still an integral part of the daily life – it is one of the few places in the world where you can still experience the old medieval ballads & chain dance, which people in Europe practiced more than 800 years ago.
According to The National Geographic Traveler, the Faroe Islands are the most appealing islands and were rated as the No. 1 destination in the world among 111 island communities. The scenery at the Faroe Islands is spectacular. You can experience all four seasons in one day, which is rather unique - all from brilliant sunshine to misty hill fog, to short rain showers.

"Thank you for your follow up, we both loved our time in Croatia. It's really a beautiful place, especially the coast. Your choice of hotels was great. It was an incredible view from the Bellevue hotel in Dubrovnik and the Vestibule in Split was in the best possible location. We were able to relax in our room listening to the wonderful singers in the courtyard and its central location made it so easy to walk anywhere we wanted to see with ease. "

"We just returned from a 10 day trip to Paris and Normandy. We spent three nights in Paris and then enjoyed a seven night cruise on the Seine to Normandy with AMA Waterways. The time in Paris was well spent and has piqued our interest to return for a more thorough visit. Guide Wafaa Lankey was superb in our visit to Versailles. The Seine cruise was relaxing and beautiful. So many wonderful little towns and we wished we had more time in each one to explore and enjoy.
We traveled to Croatia and Slovenia using Kensington earlier this year which was a fantastic trip."

The U.S. Senate has just passed the Farm Bill, a huge piece of federal legislation that is renewed every five years. While many parts of the Farm Bill time out after five years, other included provisions are enrolled into U.S. law permanently—and this year, that includes a new measure that is going to be a game-changer in our efforts to end animal fighting.
Congress added crucial elements of the Animal Fighting Spectator Prohibition Act into the Farm Bill, making it a federal offense to knowingly attend an organized animal fight and imposing additional penalties for bringing a child to animal fights. Violators face up to one year in prison for attending a fight and up to three years in prison for bringing a child to a fight.
The House- and Senate-passed Farm Bill excludes the dangerous King Amendment.
The Farm Bill will now be transmitted to President Obama, who has indicated that he will sign it quickly.

Good! Anyone who thinks animal fighting is entertainment should be punished.
People take free pets from Craig's list for these fights. Lately, there have been dogs stolen weekly from people's yards and we don't know why. A guy was caught in the act of taking a dog while the owner was home. The dog was retuned 3 days later after a lot of media coverage and it was poisoned. So very sad!
I would execute people like this guy who stole and poisoned the dog! Why is this guy's like worth anymore than an animals? What has he done to make the world a better place? If you think about it logically, the world would be a better place if you permanently removed people like this "guy" from our population.
I agree! I have tried to imagine sitting in a dank room surrounded by bloody walls the cries of injured scared animals and cheers from onlookers and I just can't get my head around the type of person that could get enjoyment from this. Whether it's dog fighting or cock fighting, it's unfathomable. I just don't understand it. To think that many of these people are raising children terrifies me. I can't think about it too long. It fills me with both, rage and overwhelming sadness.
What goes around comes around. These people will answer for their transgressions against the innocent...........
Why they are evil is yet another mystery to be solved. Such a sad thing that these loving creatures have to suffer because of the mentally deranged "SO CALLED HUMAN BEING". They must have all suffered abuse in their early childhood to be able to hurt a defenseless animal. God help them.

Thread: Wot films are you watching?
Finally got round to seeing Joss Whedon's production of Much Ado About Nothing and I was suitably chuffed with it all. It took a little while to break into the Shakespearian language, especially considering I've neither seen any performance of or read the play, but thankfully it all pretty much makes sense. Obviously no comparison point, but it was carried with a sense of passion from everyone involved and that really shone through. It was simply really enjoyable and entertaining and that's enough for me.
Also, everyone in it is unfairly attractive. That's not a sleight, just saying.
Powered by Steam. And biscuits. I'm also a twit and dabble in creative writing.
Watched Ultramarines, which apparently is an official Games Workshop Warhammer 40K movie. It's like a long cutscene from a pretty generic game, but where even a generic game might involve you in some way, the movie just leaves you to watch.
The graphics and animations switch between okay and terrible (the spacemarines look like plastic game miniatures most of the time, which doesn't do much for immersion, and there are some weird scenes where depth of field and such is screwed up so it feels like you're looking at toys. That could be on purpose, I suppose, but if so it doesn't work very well, especially not when other scenes look decently realistic).
I'm not an expert on W40K, but it seemed to me there were also a number of things that weren't true to the mythos.
The intro cutscene in Dawn of War made me feel a lot more than this movie did.Steam: Gundato
PSN: Gundato
If you want me on either service, I suggest PMing me here first to let me know who you are.
Red Dawn (2012). Not really anything much. Mostly it just made me wonder why newer action-ish movies are often so poor at character development, depth, and sense of time passing. The old Red Dawn was 114 minutes and as iffy as it was, it did manage to give a sense of progression and some kind of character depth. The new is 93 minutes and it just feels kind of static.
Dredd. I quite liked this, which was something of a surprise. It feels like 'a day in the life of Judge Dredd' rather than 'Judge Dredd saves the world' which was refreshing. Dredd is also sort of in the background while the rookie, in particular, and the main badguy (who is a woman) are far more fleshed out. It works pretty well, I think.
Team America: World Police (2004) - Hadn't seen it in a while. Forgotten how good it actually is. Both funny and right on.
Can I get a.. Fuck yeah!?!
Okay. Pacific Rim. Here's what I have to say about it.
Go. Watch it. NOW. Weird acting aside, I came to see giant robots killing giant monsters, I get giant robots killing giant monsters. Personally, I think tjis movie needs more Jagers. Having a couple of them blowing up in each scene was a bummer, especially what happened to Cherno Alpha
Definately one of the better movies I've seen this year.
PAcifc Rim--man is this a hard movie to rate. The script is loaded with cliches, cardboard characters, and brilliant ideas that it never develops at all. But the action sequences are completely brilliant, perfectly choreographed, and some of the best CGI I've seen in a movie this year.
Which, I guess, makes it brilliant/awful?
I haven't been this divided on a movie since House Of Flying Daggers which had some of the most brilliantly choreographed and beautifully filmed action sequences ever, yet all attached to a completely shit script.
Still, despite its flaws, I liked parts of Pacific Rim overall enough to recommend it (the Hong Kong sequence is the best action sequence I've seen in the past several years). As a Del Toro film (aka the dude who did "Pan's Lanyrinth") it was kind of a disappointment. But as a mindless summer action spectacle it was really great.
Killing Season starred by John Travolta and Robert De Niro.
Not an impressive movie title, nor the story just at the first glance. It seems just like tons of cheap survival-horror movie out there. But then I saw the names of the two great stars: John Travolta and Robert De Niro!! So I told myself I not gonna miss this one.
Story started back in 1992, Bosnia. The introduction statement states that war started when Serbs "invaded" Bosnia, starting one of the most bloody war in modern European history. This sounds so politically correct but it's hundred miles away from the truth. It's not a war among sovereigns. It was a civil war which led to the breakdown of a once great nation called Yugoslavia. I don't know if youths these days know much about this history, but back then it was one of the events that catch so hot international attention. I almost thought if people in Sarajevo would live in siege forever. So Yugoslavia grouped several Slavic peoples under one sovereigns, and as I know before the communists overrun the whole Eastern Europe, Yugoslavia was under monarchy, yet after the Second World War it became a communist country, a unique one, so unique that it broke away from Soviet bloc by directly denouncing Stalin. (Stalin's political theories seem to be orthodox, I barely recall some I learnt in high school and college. Anyway I gave those theories back to my teachers once I pass the exams.) Yet obviously it was so much benefited from the status quo from the Cold War. Once the great USSR was desolved (it seemed to treat us as enemy, yet I personally so much admired this true and powerful communist country we once had), all factions formerly under control immediately get loose one by one. Ethnic groups in Yugoslavia were definitely one. All Bosnian, Croatians all seem to be Slavic people like Serbs, but they have different religions, the fact that seems to drive them away from each others. Croatians were Roman Catholic and Bosnians were Islamic, and Serbs are Orthodox. Anyway all except Serbs wanted to leave Yugoslavia to start their new nations. That started a series of bloody civil wars in Yugoslavia (which finally ceased to exist as of now).
So ethnic cleanisation, or what you call genocide, were everywhere. In Bosnian, the US Army assaulted one such Serbian concentration camp imprisoning some Bosnians. Serb force guarding the camp was immediately outgunned and forced to surrender. Horribly the US GIs didn't take in prisoners. They executed all captured Serbian guards but one. This one surviving Serb, 18 years later, finally gathered enough intel to identify the US military officer in command that day, came to the state for retribution. The US military officer had long retired and in his leisure time do hunting. In one such hunting he met this middle aged man with heavy foreign accent. They helped each others, talked all night and became good friends. But their encountering was not accidental. This middle aged was, as you can imagine, the Serb he spared on that day. So, hunting was on and only one could walk out of the jungle, alive. Who will that be?
This is not a simply hunting excitement for audience. The Serb demanded one thing from the former US Army Colonel: confession. He didn't just try to kill the colonel nor torturing him in capture just for enjoyment. He sought one simply answer: Why he committed the war crime on that day? The colonel condemned the Serb for torturing Bonsians, so was this the justification of executing the POWs on that day?
But this movie itself is so damn bloody. You've been warned.

A Field In England - This is definitely a kind of midnight cult movie which I actually think is a good thing, this also has an interesting release pattern which I think for independent film and probably for artier movies is definitely the future. The film itself is...very strange and disturbing on the surface its about some guys running away from the Civil War and then being kind of captured by this guy who wants to find treasure, but it seems to be so much more then that. There is really disturbing imagery in it and you can't really tell why its disturbing because its like images of a big black circle coming towards you or after hearing lots of screams the guy coming out in slow motion and just looking and walking really wrongly but not really seeing anything. The best way I can describe it is a kind of psychedelic western but I don't know if that's describing it well. Well all I can say I recommend it and its definitly a film I'd need to watch a few times to truly get it.
The plot is very predictable, but it feels like the closing arc of a six-season TV series (in fact it does leap forward six years after the intro) with few surprises left but all the stakes raised. I didn't mind the extremely archetypal characters so much, as they were still extremely likeable, and I was really rooting for the good guys towards the end.
Not to get too spoilery, but for me nothing tops the extended action sequence around the "double event" in the harbour and city. I was on the edge of my seat throughout.
Also it's possible the best movie of the year. I went with my girlfriend and another couple. Neither of the girls were particularly enthused about the idea of giant robots vs giant monsters, especially compared to me and the other guy. By the city fight both the girls were having a grand old time watching the fight sequences.
I thought the characters and the story, although all quiet two dimensional still worked. I know it's an argument people hate, but I figure they where all like that because they were meant to be. Like the two Russians who are just like something out of Street Fighter 2 or the japanese girl who looks like she wouldn't be out of place in NGE.
Totally going to see it again."Halo is designed to make the player think "I look like that, I am macho sitting in my undies with my xbox""

The Man with the Iron Fists - You can immediately tell it was written and directed by Rza. The dialogue is awful and the story mundane even for a kung-fu movie, so it's a good thing the action holds up. If want to see an eyeball get punched out of someone's face (and you do), then this movie is a must watch.The Medallion of the Imperial Psychopath, a Napoleon: Total War AAR
For the Emperor!, a Total War: Shogun 2: Fall of the Samurai AAR
Oh Rza, why did you have to be in GI Joe."Halo is designed to make the player think "I look like that, I am macho sitting in my undies with my xbox""
Steam ID
Watched GI JOE few days ago,it was really bad. Kinda strange because i really liked first one when it came out and i bet its very similar to second one. Then i went to watch Fast and Furios 6,again i stopped after 20 minutes of watching..
First movie put all the Joes in knock off Iron Man suits and had them using the suits to give them faster, better everything.
Second movie is an 8 year old boys movie that he'd made up in his head while playing out his back garden with an assortment of action figures like actual Joes of knock of Joes (Corps)."Halo is designed to make the player think "I look like that, I am macho sitting in my undies with my xbox""

The best thing in Pacific Rim: the characters. All amazingly likeable. My favourites are the Russians.
I can't remember the last time I liked so many characters - and so much - in a single movie.
The fight scenes were cool but it seems that Man of Steel ruined every action movie for me because nothing here was that impressive. Not sure what I expected. Emmerich's Godzilla is still a better monster-in-city spectacle.
I imagine everyone at Warner and Legendary is scrambling to rewrite next year's Godzilla on set now that PR bombed.
Since my wife is pregnant, I've been "watching" Lifetime movies with her. Fun, I know.
Stake Land (2010). I didn't expect anything much from this, but ended up being pleasantly surprised. The ending is a bit annoying, or perhaps just rather abrupt, but it does kind of make sense.

Celebrating Learjet's 50th Anniversary
Flexjet and Bombardier honored Learjet's milestone by parking a jet on Rodeo Drive.
June 20, 2013
If you wandered down Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills this past Sunday, chances are you saw something out of the ordinary adorning the street—a full-sized jet. To celebrate Learjet's 50th anniversary, Bombardier (the world's largest manufacturer of business aviation) and Flexjet parked the Learjet 85 aircraft in the middle of Rodeo Drive during the famous street's annual Concours d'Elegance Father's Day celebration. The full-scale mockup of the Learjet 85 provided guests with a close-up look at one of the most luxurious forms of transportation in the world.
Designed from a clean sheet by Bombardier Aerospace, the Learjet 85 is the first business jet built primarily from carbon composites in both the wings and fuselage and features the latest advances in aerodynamics, structures, and efficiency. The aircraft features a spacious stand-up cabin, transcontinental range, and powerful low-emission engines for a convenient and lavish experience.
While it's not an everyday purchase, the jet is available for fractional jet ownership exclusively through Flexjet, one of the world's most exclusive private jet companies.
Les Voiles de St. Barth
Sailors at the French West Indies race compete to win a Richard Mille watch.
May 15, 2013
Contestants set sail in the fourth edition of Caribbean yacht racing competition Les Voiles de St. Barth from April 8-13, 2013 in Saint Barthélemy, French West Indies. But in lieu of a medal, some 800 sailors from around the world braved a challenging sailing course in windy weather in hopes of taking home a bright yellow, water-resilient Richard Mille RM 028 Automatic Dive Watch "Les Voiles de St. Barth" ($93,000).
Sailors and their over 60 vessels were divided into various classes, which navigated through difficult racecourses around the area. Wendy Schmidt of the Maxi Yachts class anchored a victory in her Swan 80 Selene and was awarded the diver's watch at the prize-giving ceremony.
The limited-edition timepiece's bright yellow color is characteristic of traditional sailing and diving pursuits, while its three-part case construction and 22 torque screws render it water resistant up to 300 meters. An automatic winding rotor, which includes a weight that swings inside as a person wears it to generate the watch's power, makes it the ideal accessory for an active person. Available at Richard Mille Boutique Beverly Hills, 222 N. Rodeo Dr., Beverly Hills, 310-285-9898

MARK KEOHANE, in his Business Day newspaper column, writes denial is the devil that has to be avoided for the Boks to be winners and the best team in the world.
Once again South Africans will take comfort that the All Blacks are not quite as good and the Boks are not quite as bad. Once again we can reflect on a heroic defeat. Once again we would be deluded.
If the aim is to consistently be the best rugby team in the world then brave 10-point defeats against the old foe can't be viewed as victories. If the aim is to be the best then the Boks have to set standards that include not playing well and beating the All Blacks by 10 points; not exceeding expectation and still losing by 10 points.
Come on.
There has to be a change of mindset, from within the current management. And there has to be a demand from the rugby public that quality of performance is never secondary.
There has to be some honesty about where it went wrong. Only then can it be corrected.
Meyer, as coach and head strategist, promised more than we saw in Argentina, Australia and New Zealand, and the public rightly expected more of the Springboks.
I don't get why there is an absolute fear of failure within the management. If ever there was a time where the public would have been accommodating it was in the year post a World Cup when most teams tend to be in transition and when coaches can embrace variation in selection, strategy and approach.
I am not talking about experimentation but variation.
All of the successful Bok teams of the professional era have played good rugby without having to be like the All Blacks and Wallabies and without having to give up the fundamentals associated with the South African game.
Meyer's Boks are capable of so much more, but it starts with the coach and his support staff.
Passion should be a given and not the exception that gets the Boks close to beating the All Blacks in New Zealand or inspires the one-off win against the Kiwis in South Africa.
The Boks have players capable of producing a game that embraces moving the ball through hands and winning with skill and not relying exclusively on forward dominance and physical superiority.
Every good Bok team has employed an effective kicking game, and there is no crime in Meyer believing in the merits of playing for field position and minimising risk. But it has to be balanced with a trust that those selected are good enough to want to maintain possession and effectively use this possession.
Selections have to offer hope of victory and not limit the margin of the defeat.
I am not dispirited. If Meyer had done everything right and the Boks were three from seven, then we could talk about a catastrophe.
He hasn't and acknowledging this would signal strength in character.
There is hope for the Boks and there will always be because the quality of player is good enough to beat any team once, but the measure of great Bok teams is that they beat all opponents more than once, home and away.
Meyer's conservatism in selection cost him a famous win in Dunedin. I championed Meyer's national appointment, but he's struggled more than I ever anticipated in getting his selections right. He surely can't get them wrong for the two home remaining Rugby Championship matches against Australia and New Zealand.
There can no longer be a case made for Morne Steyn's retention. There can also no longer be the nonsense of Johan Goosen not being good enough, experienced enough or old enough to start. There can't be an argument to ignore the claims of Elton Jantjies as his understudy and if Meyer does not rate Pat Lambie then he owes it to the player to send him back to Durban and allow him to actually play some rugby.
I never considered Meyer would struggle to break his association with the Bulls, but I underestimated the bond that exists. His loyalty to Morne Steyn was misguided and no newcomer picked at flyhalf would have been afforded seven Test matches in which to get it right. No newcomer would have been excused a goal-kicking success rate in the mid-50s.
Defeat will force change but there would have been greater comfort had innovation determined selection.
The Boks always produce inspired performances at home in the latter stages of what was the Tri Nations and now is the Rugby Championship. What we are seeing in 2012 is no different to what we saw a decade ago.
I refuse to believe Meyer will not get it right. He is a student of the game, a man who instills confidence when talking rugby and a man who appreciates the nuances of the game.
Which makes the last month that much harder to fathom. How the hell did he get it so wrong, in selection and in inspiration?
I can't recall a coach being more unanimously embraced as a national appointment and Meyer needs to know the public wants him to succeed.
He needs to lose the fear of failure and trust his ability to win as much as the public did when lauding his appointment. If he does that, not only will there be hope for the Boks, there will also be conviction in the belief they can be the best.

Rated 4 out of 5�by Wayno5169 Very comfy I would like to see a design just a smidgen higher at the ankle and a bit larger, shoes tend to rub on ankle of my 11.5 footsies and toes feel cramped a bit when first worn, I'm sure they will break in okay, hopefully before my daughters permanently borrow them. :-) June 17, 2014

They are not too tight that it feels like your toes are constricted, and not too loose that they bunch up at the toe or heel. The socks don't slide down as I wear them throughout the day like some of the cheaper pairs of socks I have purchased in the past. They breathe well so my feet don't stink at the end of the day either. April 1, 2014

After the excesses of the festive season often we crave something simple, healthy and light. Yet with the cold and blustery weather we yearn for comfort too. In the Comida y Vida household this means we often head east for some asian spice.
The most used and "abused" cookbook from my Bookshelf that features recipes for this region is Rick Stein's Far Eastern Odyssey. This book was published back in 2009 to accompany one of this chef's many tv series'. I purchased the book some time ago but have never written about it here on CYV, but it's going to be the first post in my series of posts called My Cookbook Collection where I will share a few recipes and reviews of the cookbooks from my collection.
I love food from the east and where time and access to ingredients permit will happily spend hours toasting and grinding spices, pounding garlic and ginger into a paste and all the other detailed preparation that many asian recipes require. The time invested into making your own curry pastes is something I definitely consider to be worth it when you taste the final dish – such depth of flavour. That's not to say that ready prepared pastes don't feature in my store cupboard for when time is limited – we all need a little convenience in our lives.
That is kind of how this book feels too, if you have time to leisurely prepare the dishes and access to the wealth of ingredients needed you will be rewarded with some fabulous food. For me, whilst it is possible to stock up on the dried spices and condiments from trips into Birmingham to Wing Yip, getting hold of the fresh ingredients like galangal, kaffir lime leaves and pea aubergines in local supermarkets is nigh on impossible, so creating dishes from this book takes a bit more planning.
The recipes give you the ability to reproduce the true taste of dishes from this region and travel through SE Asia from the comfort of your kitchen. There are 7 chapters, each one devoted to a different country: Cambodia, Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia, Bali, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh. Every dish cooked so far has not disappointed, the Beef Kofta Curry is simply delicious and very moreish, the Babi Kecap is devine to name a couple of my favourites. Now I share with you the latest recipe I've tried.
Roasted Sea Bass with Hot, Sour and Sweet Sauce
2 seabass – gutted, scaled and trimmed
37ml of fish sauce
25g shallots, finely sliced
15g garlic, thinly sliced
1 bird's eye chilli, thinly sliced
25g palm sugar
15g tamarind pulp
Preheat the oven to 220C. Make 3 slashes on each side of the fish and place in a shallow dish. Pour over the fish sauce and rub into the slashes.. Pour the excess into a small pan – should be about 25ml.
Heat 1cm oil in a frying pan and once hot, fry the sliced onions/shallots until crisp and golden. Lift out with slotted spoon and leave to drain. Add the garlic to the oil and repeat the same process. Finely do the same with the chilli.
Add the sugar, tamarind and 2 tablespoons of water to the pan of fish sauce. Bring to the boil and simmer for 1 minute till thickened.
Place the fish in a roasting dish and cook in the oven for 12 minutes until it is done – when the flesh flakes away. Reheat the sauce and stir in the fried shallots, garlic and chilli. Place the fish onto the plate, spoon over the sauce and scatter over the fried elements. Serve with rice and bok choi.
I used onions due to not having shallots, only 30ml of fish sauce and tamarind paste which I find a useful time-saver ingredient. If using tamarind pulp you will need to sieve the sauce before serving.
The delicate fish against the flavoursome sauce is just sublime. The sauce delivers all the usual hits to the tastebuds from this corner of the world – sweet, salty, sour and hot. It was the perfect dish to feel healthy and yet comforting too.
If you want a cookbook to give you a a true taste of SE Asia then I think this is the one. I'd advise it is not for a novice though and you would definitely need to invest into a few key store cupboard ingredients.
Hasta la proxima / until next time
