How Long Until They Cannot Be Called Games?(Splinter Cell 5)
Remember when Nintendo games had the gameplay demo reel that started if you didn't hit a button for a certain amount of time? Ever watched a very young child play with the controller as if he was playing the game during these demo reels, when actually he was controlling nothing?
That's what this video reminds me of: http://www.gametrailers.com/video/wa...ter-cell/63413
Now, we have already had games that do not allow you to die or really penalize you for it (Prey, BioShock, Fable 2, Prince of Persia 2008) and we already have games that are much more streamlined and simplified than their prequels (Oblivion, Rainbow Six Vegas, Dawn of War 2) but now we are seeing GAMES THAT PLAY THEMSELVES.
As you will see in that video, the new Splinter Cell game has a much talked about "mark and execute feature." As soon as this was seen some gamers like myself we worried it would basically amount to the game playing itself, but Ubisoft said it was not like that and urged us to wait and see. Well... the demo is out, and if you cannot play it you can at least watch it, and HEY LOOK, you just hit a button to kill everything on the screen.
Now, no doubt someone will mention that you have to get a "stealth kill" first, which is true, but if you examine the level design in the demo you can see the levels are clearly made with constant use of mark and execute in mind. One lone bad guy, then two in the distance, or what-have-you. This makes the game a tunnel basically through which the player walks, hitting a button to take out the lonely guard who isn't looking, then hitting a button to instantly kill the others. Later levels might make this more challenging, we can only guess, but the fundamental idea that the game is designed around constant auto-shooting is quite clear.
Now, remember in the older Splinter Cell games, 1-3 specifically, how you had to be quick on your feet to stay hidden, or if caught to quickly take out the opposition? Getting two quick headshots was part of the skill of the game. If caught, you had to be quick and accurate, otherwise your lone spy in a complex filled with bad guys was going to eat it. Now though, now you don't need to worry about that... as shown in the gameplay video, even in a situation where you are caught you can just run up to one guy and auto kill him with the close up kill button, then turn and auto-kill every other person with the far away kill button. This is LITERALLY win-button gaming, it's already here, press Y to win. The skill of having to line up those quick headshots to escape is gone... the skill of needing to be stealthy when taking out one guy is gone, as you can instantly kill everyone else after so who cares if they notice you?
Now, reading previews even from journalists I respect like Anthony Burch of Destructoid, this whole thing seems to be no big deal because "it's the only way to look that cool." Now, here are my two problems with this: first off, if you master aiming, especially on a mouse but also on analog sticks, you can get two headshots in a row quickly... it's a skill, it's a talent and it takes time to master and it takes some luck, but you can do it. Making it automatic to make it look cool just says "if you're a bad gamer, if you suck at aiming, we will make you good at it anyway." This removed a fundamental aspect of what a GAME is, which is to say it takes skill to win, skill to master, skill to look and feel awesome about what you are doing. Secondly my problem is that THIS IS A VIDEOGAME, NOT A MOVIE. The emphasis should not be on looking cool, the emphasis should be on playing cool, on feeling cool, on being Sam Fisher not watching Sam Fisher. If I want to see a spy do two quick headshots with no effort from myself I will watch the Bourne movies, which this game is obviously and desperately trying to emulate, not play a game. A lot of game designers today seem obsessed with making movies to the point you wonder why they did not get into that industry, rather than this one. In short I want to FEEL like I got two headshots, not WATCH me get two headshots.
Lastly I am sure people will bring up that the mark and execute thing is optional, as far as we know. This is true, but it's still a terrible omen for several reasons. First off, the game is designed to use it. On PC the compass arrows in Oblivion that tell you where to go at all times are optional, you can remove them with a mod, but it's extremely hard to play missions you never did before with those arrows off because the game is designed to use them. Quest givers did not tell you exactly where to go, people do not tell you a contact's hangouts, because the game knows the arrows will lead you there. When a game is designed around a mechanic it tends to be needed, even if optional. In Splinter Cell Conviction I foresee scenarios where the only way to effectively save the hostage or stop the machine in time is to use the mark and execute feature, for example. Secondly, and most simply, it's only optional for now. As games continue down this simplified interactive movie path these things will become more and more standard practice and less and less optional.
As we remove the penalties of losing, the need for reasoning and thought and now the actual gameplay itself, one wonders how long we can call video games "games." Peter Molyneux recently said that Heavy Rain, and interactive movie from Sony, was the "future of videogaming." Scarily enough, he's probably right. I predict only multiplayer will really be able to be called a "game" soon enough, at least from AAA big publisher titles. The future of singleplayer is "interactive movies" and indie or small developer titles that actually still can be called GAMES.
Re: How Long Until They Cannot Be Called Games?(Splinter Cell 5)
Man, you really are becoming a bitch aren't you.
Re: How Long Until They Cannot Be Called Games?(Splinter Cell 5)
I remember the days before "difficulty" settings... The difficulty was whatever the hell the developers designed the game to be. If it ate tokens like candy at the arcade, they were successful.
I know it would never happen but bring games back to the arcade and you'll see difficulty levels go through the roof compared to what it currently is these days.
Re: How Long Until They Cannot Be Called Games?(Splinter Cell 5)
Re: How Long Until They Cannot Be Called Games?(Splinter Cell 5)
Totally agree, it seems like less and less skill is needed to play games of today. That mark and execute feature is just pathetic, its for kiddies who cant aim with a gamepad. Next thing you know you get an achievement when you almost get killed "You've survived! +10 Achievement!".

Re: How Long Until They Cannot Be Called Games?(Splinter Cell 5)
Yuck. What happened to this game? I remember taking a real long time to get through stuff on the original splinter cell. I wasn't great with the analog sticks so I had to carefully aim or they'd be able to take me out relatively easily. Do you even have to pickup and hide the bodies anymore? It looks like the game turned into a 3rd person action game not the stealth game that was Splinter Cell.
Re: How Long Until They Cannot Be Called Games?(Splinter Cell 5)
Is that feature switchable? Like... using it or not?
BTW, the hint-on-object feature is pure C-R-A-P, I hope it's switchable as well :zombie:

I've said it when i first saw the footage of Conviction in E3 and i'll say it again. The mark and execute feature is ridiculous and destroys the whole game. And Sam Fisher became Jason Bourne. This series went downhill and i mean it :(

Palermo striker Fabrizio Miccoli is set to miss this weekend's clash with former club Juventus.
"Miccoli had scans today that showed scar tissue had completely covered the injury to his right calf, but he won't be ready for Juventus," club medic Roberto Matracia revealed yesterday.
"During this season he has fallen victim to a number of injuries that have hit different areas on his two calf muscles.
"Obviously, we would love to have him out there, but we want to truly solve the problems before we send him back out on the pitch."

Re: Hurth Transmission not Engaging
Before you get ahead of yourself, wait until the tranny's removed and you know exactly what has failed.
Besides the tranny, the broken bits could also be from your damper plate. If it failed, then your tranny may not need to be replaced.
Like Faster advises, the whole drive train needs a good look over.
The ZF boxes are pretty much the same as the old Hurth boxes. The gearing ratios are a little different, but the dimensions are the same. You should double check the dimensions, but I think that the ZF-10M would be a bolt-in replacement. I know it's a bolt-in for my HBW-100, and I think all the smaller boxes were built using the same cases. If you wind up replacing the tranny, you will need to verify what damper plate you need. Check the diameter, the bolt pattern and the input shaft configuration (# of splines and dimensions, e.g., mine's a 10/29/39.

Forensic anthropologist William Stevens says the amount of time it could take for a positive identification to be made on the body found in Big Spring depends on the condition of the remains.
"If a body is mummified like that usually I think we'd rely more on X-rays to look at growth and development to predict the age of a person. Positive ID would depend entirely on what is available for the suspective person, you know, X-rays or dental records which tend to be the easier route," Stevens said.
Sweetwater is getting another "good neighbor" as State Farm has introduced another agent to the area, Doug Sitter.
A native of the Midwest, Sitter graduated from Southern Illinois University with a degree in Communications and pursued his post-graduate degree in Business at Webster University. Prior to joining State Farm, he worked for three years in Europe, including England, Germany, Ireland and Scotland.

The drawing will be Monday, April 9. For more information, contact Tasha Baxter at 235- 3184. After Saturday chances can be bought at the Nolan County Extension office. The funds raised will go to help restore Freddie the Fire Truck.

Four indictments were true-billed on Tuesday, March 20, 2012, by a Nolan County Grad Jury. Two of those indictments were sealed.
Fidel Zapata was indicted for driving while intoxicated, a third degree felony. The indictment stemmed from an incident on Dec. 4, 2011. Zapata has also been convicted of driving while intoxicated on May 12, 2008, in the 32nd Judicial District Court in Nolan County, on June 26, 2000, in the 32nd Judicial District Court in Nolan County and on Jan. 9, 1995, in the County Court at Law in Nolan County.

A woman led law enforcement officers through a high speed chase on I-20 spanning three counties Wednesday evening.
It happened around 6:30 p.m. The driver of a black Honda Civic led police on a chase through Abilene and Merkel and ended in Nolan county just past exit 249 near Sweetwater.

The truck traveled off the roadway to the south and overturned. Daniel was not wearing a seat belt. He was pronounced dead at the scene at 12:50 a.m. by Judge Tim Fambrough. His body was taken to McCoy Funeral Home in Sweetwater.
Investigators are not saying if there were any clothes found at the scene where human remains were discovered Tuesday afternoon in Big Spring.

Investigators did say that the remains were located in a dirt and grass area where workers do not go frequently, although they did not say if the remains were in a bag, or what they were found with.

Ahh, nothing beats a good LAN party. Sitting back, chilling with friends, drinking a lot of Bawls and of course, getting hundreds of frags in… there's nothing quite like it. We made the trip to Evansville, Indiana recently to game it up at AsylumLAN's 33rd event. This is not the first AL we've attended, and we can honestly say… this one keeps getting better.
If you have found your way to Techgage, I feel confident in assuming that you're a gamer. Games give us reason to continually upgrade our computers when they can no longer provide us with an acceptable experience. On that same note, games are the reason that companies like ATI and NVIDIA even exist.
Gamers fuel sales for developers, publishers and hardware manufacturers and in these troubled times, the gaming community has remained profitable. Most importantly, games provide us distractions. They are portals into worlds far away from the daily stress of our own lives and allow us to escape our troubles, even if only for an hour or two an evening.
The term gamer has evolved from originally meaning those who sit around playing role-playing games to anyone involved and dedicated enough to devote hours upon hours a week to playing their games of choice, either single-player, multi-player or online.
Every few months, the gamers from the tri-state area gather at the Vanderburgh county 4-H fairgrounds for AsylumLAN, a weekend's worth of non-stop games and camaraderie. Originally born in the home of Rick Trevino, AsylumLAN has grown in both their draw and their audience. With dedicated attendees forming from Indiana, Illinois and Kentucky, AsylumLAN quickly outgrew Rick's home and eventually made it's way to the fairgrounds where it is now held. After taking over the show, Derek Moore (who goes by Grymskull at the LAN, his gamer tag) has worked to grow the event's reach and juggles administrative duties with the rest of the AsylumLAN staff, including his wife Kim who maintains the network.
I was spoiled the last time we covered AsylumLAN. Not only was Rob able to make the trip down from Canada, but our very own Matt Harris made the trip up from Georgia as well. To add to the crew, THUMPer from our forums followed us down as well. There is little that I enjoy more than a weekend at a LAN with my friends so this time around, I was sad to be going to the 33rd AsylumLAN alone.
Being held this time at the 4-H fairgrounds auditorium, as opposed to the activities center, AsylumLAN kicked off with a slow trickle of attendees making their way into the building with the systems in hand. As more and more gamers showed up, the staff started to make the rounds, checking and double checking the network, making sure that each table had power and making last minute checks of the facilities.
One advantage to the new building was that everything can be held this time around in one large room. At the activities center, the LAN was in the main room and the console and cafeteria area was in another, separated by a long hallway. Another perk was that the auditorium provided far better cooling with more AC units and higher ceilings to keep the warm air put off by so many systems to rise far enough away to allow comfortable gaming for all.
As everyone made their way into the LAN, each attendee was greeted with a small grab bag full of candy and small swag provided by the sponsors of the event. Further exposure for each of the sponsors, past and present, was on display everywhere in the form of posters, banners, stickers and flyers. Also provided for everyone was the latest issue of CPU magazine. They have been providing issues for gamers for a while now and I always look forward to flipping through the magazine, reading our peers articles while taking a break from gaming.
Everyone brought something different. Many brought their sleeping gear such as inflatable mattresses, pillows, sleeping bags and clothes while others simply showed up with their computer and monitor. The hardware varied greatly depending on who you were talking to but the constant in it all was the love for their games. No one was there to judge what was driving your computer but rather everyone wanted to get into the games as quickly as possible.
Internet access was graciously provided by Insight Communications and unlike many LANs that I have been to in the past, there were no issues with reaching the outside world. The pipe wasn't overly large, but everyone was able to get out and browse if they wanted to take a break from gaming for a while. Also provided, for purchase, was a large list of concessions including candy, Bawls, chips and the obligatory pizza.
Like any LAN, AsylumLAN had a select number of official tournaments alongside plenty of open games as well. Not wanting to just cold frag everything that moved, I opted out of joining any of the tournaments (read: I suck) and instead joined the open rooms, spending most of my time at the LAN splitting time between Left 4 Dead and CoD 4. I have to say, there are few things more gratifying in gaming than playing as a Hunter, pouncing on an unsuspecting victim and hearing a scream of horror from across the room as your thrash them straight out of the game.
One of the coolest ideas I have ever seen at a LAN or anywhere else was a radio controlled blimp outfitted with a wireless web cam. Controlling the ships movement with a radio controller, the blimp streamed live video to its host PC, providing a constant feed of the activities of the event. Using a pair of inflatable balloons, the plastic and balsawood design was just light enough with the camera installed to float through the air, after a little modding of course.
To get the lift to weight ratio just right, a penny was strapped to the front, and then a glow stick, providing the perfect balance and allowing the blimp to float above the crowd. Once the games began, the lights went off. This wasn't an issue for the blimp thanks to its infrared camera. In all, just over 8 Gigabytes of video was streamed back, allowing for an entertaining viewing towards the end of the event. While the entire idea is going to be rethought and redone for the next LAN, the original was a fantastic start and really added a whole different level of awesomeness to the LAN. Score one for ingenuity.
No LAN is complete without swag. Ranging from small to large, the prizes handed out, random or earned, are always a boost when trying to attract more and more attendees each time. Sponsorship is always first and foremost on the mind of any LAN organizer and this was no different with Derek. While the economy seems to be hurting everyone, he was still able to get sponsors to donate everything from gaming hardware from SilverStone, FSP, Thermaltake and BFG to routers from TRENDnet and beverages from Bawls. While down from previous years, the swag was there and plenty of people wanted in on the action. To win, you either had to finish first in your gaming tournament or be lucky enough to have your gamer tag drawn by Derek.
Derek also made it a point to present each of the AsylumLAN staff with plaques, thanking them for the time and services setting up, administrating, maintaining and tearing down the LAN parties' infrastructure. Many on staff also brought in their own machines to use as game servers, keeping not only the listed tourney games in business but also games that many simply like to play.

Always a pleasure to stay at this hotel. Staff is very professional and helpful, and always with great attitudes.
Clean and well stocked suites, with plenty of utensils, cookware, and dinner ware. Easy in and Easy out!!
Great Stay
May 20, 2015
We were in Merrillville for my daughter's softball tourney. Had booked a different hotel near by that we were not happy with at all. So we quickly searched for another hotel and found Candlewood within our price range. Checked in very late at night with a 1 year and 2 other children who were exhausted. Front desk associate was super helpful and quick, ensuring my kids could get to bed ASAP. We were really surprised by our room size and the fact that we had a mini kitchen with large refrig, stove, microwave and even a dishwasher. Made it so much easier for us to keep milk and food in the room for the kids to have early in the morning or before bedtime.
The only issue we had but it didn't bother us too much was regulating the air conditioner. It would be really hot when we would get back from the ballfields and by the middle of the night, it would be almost too cold. But compared to the hotel we were suppose to stay in, this was nothing that we would complain about. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and will certainly look into Candlewood Suites for future out of town stays,
Comfortable and convenient
May 20, 2015
The only draw back was children above us or someone that was a heavy walker.
The hotel was clean, great location, everything we needed was there..
nice place

I would say it was a very nice place and a good price.

The Toronto Argonauts proved to be the big winner on a busy opening day of CFL free agency Monday.
The Argos landed the top offensive lineman available in the free-agent pool when they agreed to terms with tackle Rob Murphy, the former B.C. Lion and two-time winner of the league's top lineman award. Toronto further bolstered its front line by adding centre Dominic Picard, formerly of Winnipeg, and secured its defensive leader by agreeing to terms with linebacker Willie Pile, who posted a team-high 75 tackles last year.
And Toronto wasn't stopping there. The Argos were also in the running for free-agent running back Jesse Lumsden. Sources say other teams vying for Lumsden are Winnipeg and Edmonton with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats also interested in re-signing him.
Overall, there were two trades and 16 players either signing new deals or agreeing to them Monday. And there certainly was a premium on offensive lineman as seven switched teams.
The flurry of opening-day deals did dramatically thin out the free-agent talent pool with Lumsden regarded as the top remaining player. However, he's expected to sign a new contract very soon.
One of the CFL's top linebackers found a new home Monday night. A CFL source requesting anonymity said Maurice Lloyd, who had 74 tackles with Saskatchewan last season, has agreed to terms with Edmonton. That reunites him with Eskimos head coach Richie Hall, who was the Roughriders defensive co-ordinator last season.
Calgary punter Burke Dales is also reportedly close to signing with Winnipeg. Other notable remaining free agents include receiver D.J Flick and offensive lineman Mike Abou-Mechrek (both with Saskatchewan last year) as well as rush end Tom Canada and offensive lineman Matt Sheridan, who both were recently released by the Blue Bombers.
Shoring up an offensive line that surrendered 48 sacks (second-most in the CFL) last season was an off-season priority for Toronto. The Argos posted a 4-14 record in 2008 to miss the CFL playoffs, thanks in part to an offence that ranked seventh in scoring (21 points per game) and last in total yards (347.3 yards per game).
The six-foot-five, 310-pound Murphy will certainly improve Toronto's offensive wall. The former Ohio State Buckeye is not only big and athletic, but also plays with a nasty disposition that should make the Argos much tougher.
Hamilton missed out on Murphy but did sign tackle Alexandre Gauthier. The six-foot-six, 326-pound native of Maria, Que., spent the last two seasons with Winnipeg and last year helped anchor a Bombers offensive line that gave up just 29 sacks, second-fewest in the CFL.
Hamilton, by comparison, gave up a league-high 67 sacks last season en route to posting a CFL-worst 3-15 record.
"We're very excited to add an outstanding Canadian player like Alexandre to our offensive line," Ticats general manager Bob O'Billovich said. "He's played left tackle at a high level for a number of years, and being a Canadian, he allows us more flexibility in regards to the ratio.
"Signing a player of Alexandre's ability immediately upgrades our offence."
Winnipeg was also busy Monday, making two trades and coming to terms with former Saskatchewan offensive linemen Glenn January and Steve Morley. But the Bombers also lost three starters from their offensive wall who became free agents - Picard, guard Kyle Koch (to Edmonton) and tackle Alexandre Gauthier (signed with Hamilton) while running back Graeme Bell (team-high 23 special-teams tackles) has agreed to terms with Edmonton.
The Bombers did secure defensive back James Johnson, the '07 Grey Cup MVP, from Saskatchewan for a 2011 Canadian college draft pick and also obtained linebacker Siddeeq Shabazz from Edmonton for defensive end Kai Ellis. The acquisition of Johnson is ironic, given he had a Grey Cup-record three interceptions - including one he returned 30 yards for a TD - in Saskatchewan's 23-19 win over Winnipeg at Rogers Centre.
It also was a tough opening day for Saskatchewan, which lost a total of six players in free-agents Morley, Lloyd, January, safety Scott Gordon (to Edmonton) and linebacker Anton McKenzie (to B.C.) as well as the trading of Johnson.
Saskatchewan did manage to free-agent offensive lineman Joe McGrath (a native of Moose Jaw, Sask., who was with Edmonton last season) and also re-signed free-agent punter/kicker Jamie Boreham and linebacker Mike McCullough. McCullough's contract details weren't immediately available but both McGrath and Boreham signed two-year deals, plus an option.
Edmonton fared well Monday, bolstering its defence by trading for Ellis and securing free agents Gordon and Lloyd while finding a replacement for McGrath with Koch. Adding Bell also improves the Eskimos' special teams.
The Montreal Alouettes also re-signed defensive back Richard Estelle and receiver Brian Bratton to two-year deals, plus an option. Both players were slated to become free agents at 12:01 a.m. ET on Monday but agreed to their new deals before then.

Waiting on support for this item…having a jquery problem. Can I expect an email soon?
Thank you, this support ticket has been replied to.
how difficult would it be to make this facebook friendly?
Nice work btw…
It probably depends what you mean by facebook friendly. If you mean controlling which image / text description appears when people link to your website then you can do this with meta tags as per facebook faq.
Quick question. I am trying to update the Support box. I coded the following link so that the question will be displayed when the link is clicked on. When I do this it goes all the way to very top above the navigation links. I tried adding class="main_box_wrapper" to the div but that then leaves a big gap in the question listing. How can I get each question to display like each box does when clicking on the link?

Thank you in advance.
I'm not too sure on this one – if you can send a link to your page so we can see it we might better understand what you're trying to achieve.
Please submit the support request with links in our support system: http://support.dtbaker.com.au
Thanks, dtbaker
any news on how long it will take you to have this theme ready for wordpress? I love the theme and can't wait to use it! Thanks, Bernadette
No news yet sorry. Will post here when we start work on the wordpress version (after updating all our other themes to 3.2+ first)
Hi. Nice work here. I would, unfortunately, like to strip out the graphics and make my website look more like http://www.sumac.uk.com/. How possible is that?
Quite possible if you are experienced with photoshop, html and css. It would be a lot of work – a bit like creating a full blown website from scratch.
Hi, I am trying to add a slider page.. I have followed the instructions to the letter and cannot seem to get it to work..
Any help you can provide would be great.
Thank You
Please submit a support request to our support website:http://support.dtbaker.com.au/support-ticket.html

Hi !
I have 3 problems with this template
1. the side scroller on the product features page doesn't seem to work on IE 7 & IE 8 . It just displays the side-scrolling pages from top to bottom on a single slide. So basically you just see one slide with all the scrolling content. Is there a fix, since you list IE 7 & 8 as compatible browsers.
2. on the product features page, all images are defined with border="0". This should be moved to CSS since I get 12 validation errors here.
Can you provide a solution?
3. the dtbaker_gallery (screenshots small&large) produces 10 errors during validation. I got the following message 10 times "Element dl is missing a required instance of child element dd" What's wrong with that?
thanks for your time
Hi there, just purchased the beautiful template.
Though I have an issue. Unfortunately specific parts of the template seem to be failing in IE:
None of my IE customers can purchase or see cool lightbox and "slide" effects.
Now I do hate IE as much as the next guy/girl but because 50% +/- of my customers use it, I must accomodate.
Awaiting your solution so I can provide the 5 stars this template deserves.
Was going to submit a ticket but can't afford to wait a potential 10 days for a response.
Regards and thank you.

Escudero, Poe, Legarda: No hard feelings
ILOILO CITY, Philippines——The erstwhile common candidates of Team PNoy and the United Nationalist Alliance on Thursday heaved a sigh of relief after UNA decided to junk them from its senatorial lineup for not showing up in the latter's campaign sorties.
Reelectionist Senators Loren Legarda and Francis Escudero and Grace Poe, however, expressed sadness over UNA's decision to drop them as common bets, but said they would respect the coalition's move.
Legarda, senatorial candidate of the Nationalist People's Coalition (NPC), said she was grateful to UNA for the support it had given her and stressed that she would remain focused on serving the Filipino people.
"I'm grateful for the opportunity extended to me by UNA. I regret their decision to drop the common candidates from their slate, but I respect it and maintain my high regard for its leadership," Legarda said.
'Filipinos' needs'
"More than us politicians, this campaign is about the Filipino people and their needs. I continue to have the highest respect for President Estrada, Vice President Binay and Senate President Enrile," she added.
Legarda said her political party, the NPC, has coalesced with the Liberal Party and that makes her an official candidate of the LP-NPC coalition.
At the Iloilo provincial capitol where Team PNoy candidates held a news conference, Escudero said he was also sad about UNA's decision to junk them but added that he respected the coalition's move.
Asked if it was a relief that the issue of common candidates had been put to rest, Escudero said, "Yes, because this election has never been about petty issues of which rally you attend."
'We'd still be friends'
"While I consider UNA's decision removing me from their senatorial slate a big loss, I maintain that the elections in May are more about issues and platforms rather than parties and coalitions," Escudero said.
But Escudero said he harbored no ill will toward UNA and its leaders after its decision to junk him. "I still believe that outside of politics, we'd still be friends," he added.
Escudero said that while he will remain an independent candidate, he would now be joining most of the campaign hops of Team PNoy after UNA's decision.
Sought for comment on UNA's move, Poe replied: "Parang nabunutan ako ng tinik [It's like a thorn has been pulled from my side]."
"When I learned that there were conditions [for being adopted by UNA], of course, I found myself in a difficult situation," she added.
Poe, nonetheless, said she's sad that UNA junked her senatorial bid despite the assurances that her Ninong Erap, former President Joseph Estrada, gave her.
'Can't withhold support'
"My Ninong Erap told me, 'Grace I can't withhold support for you because of your father [actor and former presidential candidate Fernando Poe Jr.]. It's sad but I guess his hands are tied. It hurts, it's sad but I understand," she added.
Legarda, Escudero and Poe were among the members of the Team PNoy senatorial slate that went through Iloilo province on Thursday with President Aquino and campaign manager Sen. Franklin Drilon, who hails from the province.
Other senatorial candidates who joined the sortie were former Sen. Ramon Magsaysay Jr., Aurora Rep. Sonny Angara, Benigno Aquino IV and Risa Hontiveros. Reelectionist Senators Aquilino Pimentel III and Antonio Trillanes were also present, as was Las Piñas Rep. Mark Villar, who stood in for his mother senatorial candidate, Cynthia.

The repair was simple.I removed the two screws that hold the valve in place.After removing the valve from the ref. I simply disconnected the wires from the unit .All this was done after I unpluged the ref. from its power source.Then I just did the same process in reverse.I repluged the ref. back into the wall socket and waited about 30-45 minutes for my first batch of ice.Everything worked fine,and I had no problems at all.

Do you think wearing on-body cameras on duty should be mandatory?
Rob Letham, a competitive shooter sponsored by Springfield, demonstrates "El Presidente," a pistol-range drill. The shooter fires two shots apiece at three targets 10 meters away, then reloads and fires another six shots at the three targets. The drill, which was developed by Jeff Cooper in the 1970s, tests drawing and reloading.
If for no other reason than the protection of yourself and your loved ones, you need to practice off-duty firearms tactics. And it's in your agency's best interests to provide you with the necessary skills.
Don Mann, a U.S. Navy Seal and firearms trainer of federal law enforcement agents with the FBI, ATF and CIA, published "The Modern Day Gunslinger" as the "ultimate training manual" for law enforcement, competitive shooters, personal defense and those who looking to master handguns. In the interview, Mann discusses officer reaction curves during vehicle stops, one-handed reloads and tells us his favorite gun.
Team One Network offers tactical team training for law enforcement, as shown in their promotional video.
From its founding, one of the NRA's most important missions has been to improve the firearms prowess of Americans who may be called to serve their country in the armed forces. And since 1960, the organization has also helped train another kind of warrior: the law enforcement officer.
Having a firm grip on your semi-automatic handgun is key for several reasons, the most important of which is to avoid what's commonly called "limp wristing" the gun. When a shooter has a weak or loose grip on the gun, it usually results in the firearm not cycling properly, causing the gun to jam. A firm grip will also help you on assignments, where you need to fire from a marine platform. Read "Perfecting Your Handgun Grip" for more. Photos courtesy of Michael Rayburn.

Sleep Disorder Linked to Dementia, Parkinson's
An unusual sleep disorder could be a precursor to dementia or Parkinson's disease.
Patients with REM sleep behavior disorder have excessive muscle activity during REM sleep — often called the dream stage of sleep — causing them to punch, kick or cry out when they are in a deep sleep.
Of the 93 REM sleep behavior patients involved in the study, 26 developed a neurodegenerative disease within five years. Doctors estimate the 10-year disease development risk to be 41 percent and the 12-year risk to be 52 percent.
"The results may help us better understand how these neurodegenerative diseases develop," study author Ronald B. Postuma, M.D., a sleep specialist from McGill University in Montreal, Canada, was quoted as saying. "They also suggest that there may be an opportunity for protecting against the progression to disease, perhaps even preventing it before the symptoms can appear."
The patients involved in this study had no known cause of REM sleep behavior disorder. In some cases, the condition can be caused by narcolepsy or rare brainstem abnormalities.

we evacuated from the King fire and all our needs were met-- they even accepted the dog! There was free coffee and I was able to take my laptop to the lobby and tune into current fire details. Rooms were enormous and we could read or watch TV There was a machine for drinks/snacks downstairs and laundry facilities too. The hot tub was soothing and close to entertainment like Apple Hill and Redhawk Casino

You'd have to check TrendingNewEngland.com and TrendingNewOrleans.com for those breakdowns.
I'd like to say that I'm as optimistic as anyone about the 2012 Buffalo Bills and their quest to return to the playoffs for the first time since 1999. But there's a voice in the back of my head that keeps reminding me that Ryan Fitzpatrick LED THE LEAGUE in interceptions with 23.
In an attempt to explain away that startling total, we locked some Trending Buffalo staffers in the "film room" and wouldn't let them out until they reached consensus on an explanation for each of the TWENTY THREE picks.
We fully recognize that without full knowledge of the offensive system and a playbook in hand, it's impossible to pinpoint the exact cause of each interception… but we decided to give it a shot nonetheless. We're breaking "blame" into 4 categories:
- Fitz's fault
- Receiver's fault
- Situation
- Good D
WARNING: You are about to watch TWENTY THREE interceptions, all thrown by the same man. If you make it through, you're unlikely to feel great about things regardless of where we place the blame. Keep in mind, however, that Fitzpatrick also threw more touchdowns (24) than interceptions. Our research ignores the TDs but that doesn't mean that they didn't happen.
INT # 1: Week 2 vs OAK, Q2 (10:46), Down 7 – 0, 3rd and 10 at BUF20
Oakland blitz picked up. Fitzpatrick throws 15 yards down the middle intended for Stevie Johnson. Oakland DB Stanford Routt undercuts the route.
INT # 2: Week 3 vs NE, Q1 (8:58) Down 7 – 0, 1st and 10 at NE47
Quick, accurate pass by Fitzpatrick to the right goes through the hands of Donald Jones and deflects directly to Kyle Arrington.
INT # 3: Week 3 vs NE, Q1 (:21) Down 14-0, 4th and 14 at NE35
Fitzpatrick stepped up in the pocket and tried to squeeze in a pass to David Nelson between defenders on 4th and 14.
INT # 4: Week 5 vs PHI, Q2 (:48) Up 21 – 7, 1st and 5 at PHI49
Up two scores with the ball at the end of the half, you'd like your QB to be a bit safer here. Fitzpatrick throws a short pass to the right but doesn't see LB Jamar Chaney.
INT # 5: Week 6 at NYG, Q3 (4:22) Down 21 – 14, 2nd and 4 at BUF41
Under no pressure, and off his back foot, Fitzpatrick underthrows Stevie Johnson deep down the left sideline and is intercepted by Corey Webster.
INT # 6: Week 6 at NYG, Q4 (4:10) Tied 24 – 24, 1st and 10 at NYG27
Driving to take the lead late, Fitzpatrick throws the same exact interception that he did earlier in the game. No pressure, bad footwork, underthrown.
INT # 7: Week 8 vs WAS, Q2 (2:00) Up 10 – 0, 3rd and Goal at WAS8
Fitzpatrick throws a decent pass over the middle into the endzone but London Fletcher beats Stevie Johnson to the ball.
INT # 8: Week 9 vs Jets, Q2 (1:37) Down 3 – 0, 1st and 5 at BUF43
Jets rush three. Fitzpatrick tries to hit a quick pass to David Nelson but doesn't see LB Calvin Pace. Looks like good scouting by the defense.
INT # 9: Week 9 vs Jets, Q2 (1:00) Down 3 – 0, 2nd and 10 at BUF40
Fitzpatrick attempts another short pass to David Nelson. This time the route is undercut by LB David Harris. Once again, looks like good scouting by the defense.
INT # 10: Week 10 at Dallas, Q3 (2:25) Down 31 – 7, 1st and 10 at BUF20
Some pressure in the face of Fitzpatrick, but he threads a beautiful pass deep left through the hands of Donald Jones which deflects to Terrance Newman.
INT # 11: Week 10 at Dallas, Q3 (5:03) Down 37 – 7, 1st and 10 at BUF33
Terrance Newman looks like he was in the Bills' huddle and steps in front of Fitzpatrick's pass to Stevie Johnson.
INT # 12: Week 10 at Dallas, Q4 (1:08) Down 44 – 7, 2nd and 6 at DAL7
Some pressure, Fitzpatrick throws to the left flat but there appears to be some miscommunication on the intended routes.
INT # 13: Week 11 at Miami, Q2 (15:00) Down 14 – 3, 3rd and 8 at BUF13
Fitzpatrick's pass goes through the hands of Brad Smith.
INT # 14: Week 11 at Miami, Q2 (2:19) Down 21 – 3, 3rd and 10 at BUF18
Good pass by Fitzpatrick goes through the hands of David Nelson.
INT # 15: Week 14 at SD, Q1 (5:05) Down 7 – 0, 3rd and 2 at SD47
Fitzpatrick throws deep down the middle to David Nelson off back foot and in between three defenders– picked off by Eric Weddle.
INT # 16: Week 14 at SD, Q3(4:11) Down 23 – 10, 1st and 10 at BUF20
Some pressure in Fitzpatrick's face as he rolls to the right. A lazy throw into a crowd is intercepted and returned for a TD by DB Steve Gregory.
INT # 17: Week 15 v Mia, Q2(7:51) Down 10 – 7, 2nd and 4 at BUF26
Miami safety blitz brings pressure and Vontae Davis jumps the quick slant/hot read by Stevie Johnson. Nice play by the defense. Defense outsmarted the offense.
INT # 18: Week 15 v Mia, Q3 (10:45) Down 20 – 7, 3 and 12 at BUF49
Fitzpatrick has to take a chance to convert on 3rd and 12. Pass over the middle to Brad Smith is deflected and caught by DB Rashad Jones.
INT # 19: Week 15 v Mia, Q3 (8:59) Down 20 – 7, 1 and 10 at BUF20
No pressure. Fitzpatrick throws off back foot and under throws Stevie Johnson down the left sideline just like his two picks against the NYG.
INT # 20: Week 17 at NE, Q3 (4:01) UP 21 – 20, 2 and 7 at BUF23
Fitzpatrick throws short left for Ruvell Martin intercepted by Sterling Moore. Bad throw. Ball was about four feet to the right of where it needed to be.
INT # 21: Week 17 at NE, Q3(12:16) Down 28 – 21, 1st and 10 at NE32
Perfect pass by Fitzpatrick deflects off of Spiller's hands directly to Devon McCourty.
INT # 22: Week 17 at NE, Q4 (3:02) Down 42 – 21, 1st and 10 at BUF20
Sterling Moore jumps a short out route. OK throw by Fitzpatrick, better play by Moore.
INT # 23: Week 17 at NE, Q4 (1:41) Down 49 – 21, 1 and 10 at NE44
Fitzpatrick heaves the ball down the right sideline to Derek Hagan. Badly underthrown.
So, what have we learned?
- Of the 23 picks, we're going to pin 11 directly on Ryan Fitzpatrick. 6 fall on the receiver and 6 more get chalked up to circumstance (situation and/or opponent.)
- The number 11 is much more palatable than TWENTY THREE. That said, if we looked at Drew Brees' 14 interceptions or Alex Smith's 5, it's likely we'd be able to explain away a sizable portion of them as well. 23 is still TWENTY THREE.
- You can find ANYTHING online. Seriously, we live in an era where it's possible to call up footage of each and every slightly meaningful play from last football season?

Did Alonso for McCoy really just happen?
O.K. 11 of 23 are Fitzpatrick's fault. That's almost 50% How does that figure compare to Tom Brady or Drew Brees?
I find it interesting that on 19 of the 23 interceptions the bills were down on the scoreboard. On the other 4 they were up or tied. Maybe some of the problem is Fitz forcing the ball and trying to make something happen.
I don't find that interesting, just because the Bills spend the great majority of the season last year behind on the scoreboard, due to their inability to either score or stop anybody in the first quarter. And being behind isn't an excuse for risky play. Being far behind is. Or being behind with very little time left on the clock. But being six or nine points down in the second quarter isn't. An awful lot of those INTs came at times when we were behind, but not far enough behind to get desperate.
#18 Down 13 early 3rd Q, 3rd and 12. Only 2 receivers appear to be in position to pick up first down (Nelson and Johnson.) Both are covered well but throwing to anyone else will lead to a punt on the next play. Again, QB trying to spark team and start off the 2nd half better than the first. Also, on most balls that pop way up in the air like that, there's going to be an element of luck (good or bad) involved in the outcome of the play.
#3 Down 14-0 in late first quarter, stuck in no man's land with 4th and 12 at NE 35 yard line. Punting is cowardly. FG makes it 14-3 at best or gives NE ball at it's own 42. Time for QB to go out there and try to make something happen on a day that clearly hasn't been going the team's way so far.
Can you explain the rationale behind blaming the situation over Fitz, the WR, or crediting the defense? Specifically with reference to INT's 3, and 18?
Definitely beat me to the point in proving that this might not be all of his fault, other qbs in the league might not have been responsible for all of their picks (see Brady against us this year)
A little more insight http://www.footballoutsiders.com/stat-analysis/2012/adjusted-interceptions-2011
[…] after delivering the ball. That said, my biggest concern going into the season at the QB is the league leading total of 23 interceptions in 2011. Protect that ball. Throw it away and let Brian Moorman do his […]
[…] interceptions scare me. There's a reason we put the Trending Buffalo staff to work analyzing each and every one of the league-leading 23 picks he threw last year. He's likable, has the respect of his teammates, and gives the ball away […]

BA: Dragons split with MV, finish 3rd in HHC
May 28, 2014By Andrew Smith of New Palestine High School
The New Palestine baseball team registered a doubleheader split with Mt. Vernon, earning third place in the HHC.
The Dragons dropped the opener 5-3, then got a 12-strikeout performance from Cameron Clark in a 5-2 nightcap win.
NP finished the regular season with an 18-9 record, including a 6-6 HHC mark.
In the nightcap, the Dragons got going with a four-run first inning, with Nick Butcher and Cameron Clark leading off with a single and a double. Steven Clark and Keegan Watson followed with run-scoring singles and each would later score -- one on a wild pitch, one on Evan Hickman's RBI groundout. Logan Gilvin also had a hit in the four-run, five-hit first inning.
MV answered with two unearned runs in the second, but Steven Clark's solo homer made it 5-2 and Cameron Clark made it stand up. He fanned six straight batters in the third and fourth innings -- including four strikeouts in the third inning -- and kept rolling.

Respond to Review of Carnevale
by veganaurora
Review: I've been eating out a lot in London lately (it's great not having to wash the dishes)and have certainly had a varied experience. Some of the old established veggie places I always thought were good just don't hit the mark any more. But thankfully Carnevale is still as good as it always was. I hadn't been there in a couple of years but I'll certainly be returning much quicker and don't know why I haven't been back sooner! The atmosphere is lovely and intimate; it's a small, cosy place. And the food really shone when my friend and I went there a few weeks ago. The vegan choice was good, we had a yummy starter and my friend and I shared two really delicious mains, one, a mushroom pastry parcel, was extra special. It was the best dinner out I've had in ages. They've changed their menu since and the new dishes look very tasty too. I can't wait to go back. Keep up the great food, Carnevale!

SC agency website defaced; personal information OK
Saturday - 12/22/2012, 11:16pm EST
COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) - South Carolina officials are investigating the defacement of a state agency website, but they stress that the site was not hacked.
WLTX-TV reports that an image appeared on the Department of Employment and Workforce website on Saturday evening claiming, "This site was hacked."
Agency spokeswoman Adrienne Fairwell told The Associated Press that officials believe it was a "website defacement," similar to graffiti on a wall. She said the image was taken down after a little more than an hour, and that personal identifying information was not lost or stolen.
Fairwell said similar incidents were reported at some other websites nationwide.
In mid-September, a computer hacker stole the tax filings of 3.8 million adults and 700,000 businesses as part of a massive security breach at the state Revenue Department.
