Lazy Weekends: Day of the Tentacle

If you were looking for tentacle porn, you've come to the right place. Watch as I play through this entire comedy-adventure game while streaming live on Twitch.
If you were looking for tentacle porn, you've come to the right place. Watch as I play through this entire comedy-adventure game while streaming live on Twitch.
I've played about 1.5 hours so far on PC. Servers crashed so these's are my impressions.
---Feels like a Call of Duty game on the source engine, for sure. If you're expecting mind-blowing graphics, you're going to be very disappointed. I don't think it's because it's beta. I think it's just because it's a Source game. Having played Call of Duty: Ghosts on PS4 in November (some of you may have watched that stream), I would say that Ghosts looks slightly better in single player HOWEVER, Titanfall looks better than Ghosts' multiplayer.
---Stuttering issues. I shouldn't have any issues streaming and playing this game. It feels like something is hogging resources in the background. This is probably just because it's a beta. I've played enough betas to see this ironed out in the final product.
---When you first drop in a Titan, the sounds and graphics are awesome. Probably something I look forward to every time is just watching it crash into the ground. When you first experience it in-game, it's something to cherish. And the first time you get gracefully swooped up and tucked into it's chest is tear-jerking good.
---You can set you FOV in PC to 90!
---The first time I ran into a hallway and a Titan dashed from out of view to right in front of me, my adrenaline pumped up and palms produced beads of sweat. Pretty awesome first match for me.
---Gunplay is very simple. There's no recoil at all. It feels a lot like Quake III in that sense. You see a pilot/titan and just hold down the fire until you get an XP score and see your name owning their name.
---The A.I. bots are boring and horrible. I've seen both sides of the argument and I'm going to say that they need to either remove them or revamp them. I wouldn't mind cannon fodder DOTA bots (which is what they are) but the real players... I can't ever tell if I'm chasing a pilot or bot until the name shows up.
---Not as twitchy as I had hoped for. I don't know if anyone remembers the "Brink" game, but it feels as twitchy as that game. Nothing like old-school Quake/UT games. Nothing wrong with that though. I don't mind it being a little slower honestly. Feels perfect at it's current speed. But if you were expecting UT/Q3, look elsewhere.
---Parkour feels tacky. If my videos saved on Twitch, I'll take my examples and upload them. I've rocketed myself a few times into the air on accident using the parkour/double jump system. It doesn't feel like Mirror's Edge in fast motion, or even as smooth as other games that have parkour. I haven't really found my balance with it. Right now, I feel it's a gimmick and a bit cheap.
---Stealth mode is fair. Titans haven't seen me yet while stealth and I can get a cheap shot on them. Other players seem to always see me. I guess I know why. You can clearly see their slightly invisible bodies standing there or running around. Shotguns come in handy for those stealthy sons of titans.
---The strategic use of Titan and pilot is amazing. This is my absolute favorite part of the game. You have a few options to utilize your Titan and I really didn't know how fun it would be to just be a pilot. I'm currently preferring the pilot since one of the ways you can take advantage of the battlefield is to just have the Titan guard and while you (the pilot) runs around defending it. You basically get double the damage from everyone on the field. This is how I've seen myself increasing my kills. Otherwise, jumping in a Titan and keeping it healthy by using shields and managing your attacks will just keep you from dying from crossfire or another player (since bots are not going to really get a kill on you).
---Maps feel a little small. This might just be because I come from Battlefield 4. They're probably the same size, or slightly bigger, than COD's maps. Personal preference obviously.
---The auto-target gun isn't that bad. I first wanted to hate it but it's not too shabby. The assault rifle is arguably the best weapon to pick at my level (5).
I'm giving this a shot the entire weekend. Some days I'm not completely feeling a game. After 1.5 hours, I'd say that I've seen Titanfall and it's not a system seller, but it's a load of fun with some gameplay issues. Again, this is just my initial reaction and my honest one. I just hope it's not what it feels like right now: just another Call of Duty with mechs.
Worst thing about the game so far, and something that will drive me away quickly, is the bots OR just the lack of finding pilots. I really don't like how this is put together. I feel if they're not in Titans, I am not running into them.
Helpful hints:
For those playing, try placing the Titan on follow until you clear out an area. I've had way more kills outside the Titan than inside. Them things blow up good. But they also do a lot of score increasing if you have it battling a Titan while you use anti-Titan guns.
What else do I need to say? #PS4NoDRM worked I think. Go, Sony.
Bored? Why not watch the first pre-season match?
When Star Wars Galaxies expanded by adding in star ships (Jump to Light Speed), The Wet Bandits members decided it was time to break faces. We couldn't really afford a good ship so we bought the crappiest one we could find. Naturally, we decided to plunder someone's expensive ship. Some innocent fool's ship. We found one, on the planet of Tatoonie. He was selling transport on his very expensive taxi ship by screaming in the global chat. I private messaged him and the conversation went something like this:
Me: "Good sir, we need your services. We are apart of a major guild on this server and have some high bounties on our heads from some Imperial scum. May you provide refuge on your unmarked ship to hold our guild meeting?"
Foolish Guy: "Why yes! We are an expensive taxi service of sorts. It will cost (x) millions of credits. Would you fine gents like expensive foods and entertainment for this evening on my taxi?"
Me: "Yes, indeed. We require classical music and your finest of foods. We will pay you 5% on top of the value for the food, transport, and entertainment after you've provided us safe travel and allow us to hold our guild meeting on your ship. An extra couple thousand credits if you keep shut thy mouth about anything we talk about."
We're on a role-playing server which is why we were talking like this. After negotiations, this guy hires a full band to play music for us. He takes out a loan for the food, thousands of credits worth, and leads us aboard his taxi. His super expensive taxi. While he's showing us around, I find an escape route for later that. It's in the toilet area, where all good escapes happen. We get everything setup. I mean, it's taking about 30 minutes to an hour to get this place decorated for our guild's meeting/feast. I give the foolish host a space waypoint to warp to and off we go.
We sit down in our comfy chairs and discuss made-up business, all in sync with each other on how so-and-so is after us and whom we can still trust in our guild. While eating good virtual foods, I stood up and say, "Excuse me but I have to use the rest room. I think some of the food is bad.".
I rush to the toilets and escape down the hatch. It may have not been a toilet. It's more than likely just escape pods, but I'm sticking with toilets.
The escape pod brings me back to Tatoonie. I board the space ship we bought. It has laser guns and that's about it. Not the best by any means but this guy's high credit taxi is slow, defenseless and doesn't have any weapons. Since I gave him the coordinates to where we were, I warp back to their location and charge my blasters.
Meanwhile on the taxi, the foolish host detects an incoming fighter on his ship's radar. Or he just sees me outside his windows. He alerts us all, in which my two guild mate friends act clueless. The band has quit playing. The food is all looted thanks to a guild mate. And there's a maniac outside this 60% glass ship that's firing his lasers!
I laugh hysterically. I'm foggy on this part, but I believe my guild mates used the pods to get off the ship. The host stays with the band and tries to make a run for it. While trying to get into hyperspace, his ship blows up. Millions of credits down the drain. His stuff is all destroyed and we make off with the only lootable items he gave us access to.
A few minutes later, he messages me completely out of character and says, "I should have known what was going to happen but man, you guys were awesome. Completely ruined me!". He probably quit playing shortly after.
While bored on NeoGaf, I created this. Thanks, Al, for making this song.
So many gamers on different websites are full of whining about Diablo III's difficulty. Sure, the game is really hard. In Hell difficulty, you're going to run into mobs that vortex (pull you closer to them), have near impossible to break shields, invulnerability, and molten lava footprints. That's not even near the difficulty of mobs in Inferno. But as Blizzard has stated recently, it's all because you guys aren't getting the gear you need. That goes for me too. I have yet to beat Inferno, much like everyone else. But I do have an idea for what would make Diablo III the most frustrating game in the entire world, making most of the posts about it being "too hard" absolutely true. Hardcore mode would still be the way it is. But then there would be Realistic mode.
In Realistic mode, the game is a bit too realistic. You start off with no weapons, heading to New Tristram to do whatever it is you do. Since you have no armor, you must avoid fighting until you get to town. If you're bit by a zombie during a fight, you'll have hours, maybe minutes to live until your character is completely killed off. Game over. Unlike Hardcore mode, when you die in Realistic mode, you actually lose access to play with your current game key. This means you must actually buy the game again. It's not very realistic to die and start a new life, right? I guess, technically, zombies aren't real… or are they? Anyway, we have to at least do something in this game unless you just want something like Simsablo. So, hopefully, you'll never encounter this:
Seems a bit too hardcore? Well, don't worry. It gets better. If you do survive your first small encounter, you're welcomed into town. There's an inn in New Tristram, right? That's for sleeping. You must actually have your character in the inn and he must sleep for 8 hours to be fully rested for battle. If you rest under that, you have a undisclosed chance to be sluggish and your stamina is drained. Not sleeping for days will result in death. Couldn't you just leave your computer in game while you sleep? Sure, and that's what realistic mode would want you to do. But don't think you're too smart! Going to work while your character sleeps may result in massive headaches or fatigue from oversleeping, if you're not back by your tenth hour.
Speaking of headaches, what's more realistic than disease and sickness. All of those germs busting out of enemies must cause some sort of sickness to occur, right? At some points, you're standing in a vat of poison. Standing in a vat of poison has an undisclosed chance of causing your character to become infected with a disease, which can also cause a very rare chance for you to die over time. If you're diseased, your character must head to town and buy medicine. You can continue to battle after, but you have even more chance to become fatigued. You may just want your character to take his medicine, drink lots of fluids, and stay at the inn until you're all better.
Inventory is now limited to weight, just like in The Elder Scrolls and Dungeon & Dragons games. Unlike those games, your character cannot carry around hundreds of pounds, you'll only be able to carry around a certain amount of trashy magicals with you. Instead, you can buy a wheel barrel. You can fill it up like a bag, but you better hope a mob doesn't break the thing. You'd have to travel back to town and buy a new one.
Food and fluids will be needed as well, for the same reasons as above. You will have to drink lots of water throughout the game and eat food three times a day. You'll be able to check a protein counter in your inventory screen. Water is the most efficient way to survive and rehydrate. However, vendors will sell you different alternatives to water. These items are sponsored by companies and have great real life effects. Every time you drink a Cola-Cola "health potion", you'll be able to generate some in-game gold until their logo runs out (see below). There's no real health benefit to drinking sodas, but getting sponsor money seems realistic. As a matter of fact, nothing you do can truly heals you aside from visiting the "was before" useless blessing people in towns. Now they're surgeons and they'll patch you up. Much like everything else in real life, there's a chance you can die on the operating table. Operations also require time to heal.
Something I'm personally excited about is the different traits your character will randomly generate right off the bat or over time. Just buy creating a character, you'll have passive skills automatically selected for you that cause your character to be truly unique. Allergies, for example. You'll actually have to keep an eye on the allergy bar if you're chosen for this cruel fate. Walking around outside may give you a 15% chance to random stun yourself due to a heavy sneeze.
Town portals are eliminated. That's not very realistic. You must walk everywhere. It sucks but at least it's realistic.
Real life money must be spent to acquire certain items. These usually come from your higher end merchants that want to sell you stuff instead of barter. You can easily distinguish which markets are setup to accept gold and which are setup for real life cash only. Usually the "cash only" merchants are named "Bob of Wal-mart" or "Karen, the Hot Topic Manager". With real life money spent, you get a huge benefit. You can actually return items to these venders within 14 real life days! There's only a few restrictions. You have to pay a 15% restocking fee if the item was used. You also have to have your receipt. Much like real life, you have a 30% chance of losing the receipt just by walking around.
What about multiplayer? To make the game still a game, we need to have a way for people to jump in. We'll keep that in. They still can't teleport back to you. Instead, they must run around until they find you. When they do, you better hope you know them. All characters will have the ability to murder you and/or rob you. If they rob you, you may actually lose real life money too. But hey, just hope they don't murder you. The best thing to do is if someone chats, "Gimme your money!", you better just trade them all the stuff you have and let them run off with your wheel barrel full of goodies. It's not worth dying over.
Now, some of you may be laughing because the idea seems stupid or impossible. Some of you might be asking about magical characters and monsters. Will they be in there? Of course. Because those things are realistic. There's been many reports of monster sightings and real life magic, even movies based on these matters. And movies never lie to me.
*Be sure to check out my official blog for a new feature I implemented today: Official FAQ of TWBB.
Not trusting reviews, your local blogger got on the scene to see how well this game actually works. I'm here to report that the pathetic reviewers in the video game industry have done us all a grave injustice! Because this game is absolutely horrific. They have summed all of their irenic energy to make sure Bethesda and Splash Damage were at least some-what satisfied with their Frankenstein project. Let's take you through the first hour of my living hell, shall we?
The game had a patch, immediately. Not too bad, since we all knew that the netcode was broken. I'm also playing on the PlayStation 3 because I prefer to play online games on there. That, or the PC. I picked this up for the PlayStation 3 because on the PC, it's linked to Steam and I figured if it sucked, I could sell this on Amazon or Craigslist. The game has hardly any load time. It's probably the fastest title I've seen in a while as far as loading times. It asked me to sign in to the PlayStation Network. I chuckled a bit, and then moved on.
The first screen that appears is one asking you to create a character. The creation tools are really cool, and giving yourself scars or tattoos make permanent marks on your skin. Don't like it? You can just create another character!
The game has a few gameplay options. I tried out a few of the challenges (which don't work fully due to the PSN being down). They're alright. Then I tried Single Player. I knew what I was getting into: multiplayer training in single player. I had heard the bots were dumb. Boy, that's the understatement of the year. These bots will literally stand right next to the objectives or near enemies, and do nothing. It's embarrassing.
I played for about an hour. I can say the multiplayer might be fun, if it works when the PSN is up, but for now, I can't think of one thing gameplay wise this game is doing that's worthy of a $60 price tag. The graphics are sucky too. If you've played an Unreal Tournament 3 engine title, you know where the textures have to load in? Yeah, this game constantly does this. It's very, very annoying. And the one thing I was interested in, the Mirror's Edge style gameplay, is useless. It's just tragic. Bulletstorm has more parkour than this game. Just sad...
I usually give games a second go. When the PSN is back up, I'll try it out and then I'll review the entire title after patches and such. I'm hoping that this game doesn't die off completely. I think there's a lot of potential if the online community stays with it.
Also, if you want an easy Platinum Trophy, or 100% achievement, this game is for you. After 1 hour, I'm at 30% complete. I'll be at 100% within a week, I'm sure. NOTHING is hard, even if it seems hard.
I'm starting to think that our glorious hobby has turned into a Care Bear fest. When Grand Theft Auto 4 took heat for its morals, we were jumping all over the networks for their thoughts and lack of journalism. Stories like this pop up all the time, and what do we do? We jump all over the place, defending our different positions on video games. We're screaming and arguing the whole time of who is right and wrong.
I guess my question would have to be: why do we care so much what other people think of our hobby?
More recently, there's been a ridiculous cry over the " Your Mom Hates Dead Space 2" campaign ad. The cry has been that this goes a step backwards in proving that gaming isn't something that's just violent and immature to the general public. There are gamers claiming that when the next crazed loon that shoots up a place and happens to have played Dead Space 2, the news media will have easy ammunition just by using this ad. There's even an article about how this same ad is aimed towards children, since obviously only people 17 and under have children. Is that really what the ad is saying, or is it more in the lines of "Do you kiss your mother with that mouth?".
I certainly don't care or mind what the outside world thinks of my hobby. To me, the more the world looks at it and shakes its head, the more I give my hobby a thumbs up. It's more punk rock to have a hobby that sickens the outside world, than to just fall in line. I like it that way. But I think part of the problem is that we have way too many people wanting video games to conform to an art form than to just let it be as explosive and pseudo-violent as it wants to be. The more we have people wanting Super Mario Galaxy to be in the ranks of a Picasso, the more reason we have to just tone it all down so the outside world sees its beauty. It's Care Bear garbage!
We also have people who care because of the effects that feel it might have on the industry as a whole. We fear that outsiders will tell us what games should be like. But Hollywood is often attacked because of its betrayal of horrific violent scenes. The music industry is attacked because of its violent lyrics. Has this stopped films from being released recently? Expendables still was released, and it had gibs all over the place. So before we just assume, let's look at the realistic picture: gaming will not be effected (in America, sorry to the rest of the world).
In 1994, my dad took me to Best Buy and we picked up a video game that Jack Thompson believes is a reason kids are violent today. We bought Mortal Kombat II on my Super Nintendo, the first day it came out. I grew up in a violent video game world, and the sicker the game was, the bigger the explosions, the more I wanted it. Does anyone remember when Soldier of Fortune I & II came out?
Yeah, I was all over that stuff. Gore in video games is as American as apple pie. I didn't grow up mental. I've never killed an animal. Haven't been in a fist fight in forever. I avoid confrontations. I actually can't stand the sight of real life blood (it makes me dizzy). But in a video game, I know it's fake and often humorously exaggerated, and that's the way I like it.
But gamers, if you're really concerned about the content in video games because your friends or family believe it turns people into ruthless killers, just ask them what video games Jack the Ripper played or which Mortal Kombat Adolf Hitler inspired him. While they still hold that dumb look of confusion on their face, just reply, "Exactly." and walk away.

This classic milkshake recipe is transformed into a flavorful, chilly concoction with a hint of green and touch of Pure Peppermint Extract.
1 pint (2 cups) vanilla ice cream
1 cup milk
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon McCormick® Pure Peppermint Extract
1/4 teaspoon McCormick® Green Food Color
Place ice cream, milk, peppermint extract and green food color in blender container; cover. Blend on high speed until smooth.
Pour into glasses. Top with whipped cream and sprinkles, if desired. Serve immediately.
Test Kitchen Tip: For best results, use McCormick® Pure Peppermint Extract. If using McCormick® Pure Mint Extract, flavor of milkshake will be quite minty. Top with whipped cream and green sprinkles.
(Amount per serving)
The peppermint was too strong for me. I would decrease the amount or sweeten it up somehow.
Was this helpful?
I have done so many shake recipes of my own, cant wait to have friends over to do this for them again

Sunny Balijepalli, who sold Half.com to eBay for $350 million, is back with a photo-sharing service called ZoomIn.com
NEW YORK: All it takes to make an Internet fortune these days is one brilliant idea. Like many of the best ideas, it began with a simple question. "Why is it so hard to re-sell a $100 textbook and get good money for it?"
Sunny Balijepalli, who was working in Infonautics Corp. in the US wanted to know. He and a friend Josh Kopelman talked about it and then dreamed up Half.com with the limitless ambition of creating something that had the best of Amazon and eBay.
"Josh and I joked that our creation would be eBazon — combine the best of eBay's prices with Amazon's one-click shopping easiness," Balijepalli told DNA.
In June 1999, Balijepalli and Kopelman started Half.com, a fixed price online market connecting buyers and sellers of used books, movies and music. The website was snapped up six months later by eBay and even Amazon replicated some of its killer apps.
"For six months we were strapped for cash and worked out of one room which was part of a law office in Philedelphia. We had a tough time getting anyone to work for us as we had no trackrecord. But we worked flat-out; built the company and launched Half.com in January 2000. Soon we closed a deal with with eBay for $350 million," said Balijepalli.
Success at the age of 31 is a funny animal. "You get an incredible adrenaline rush from the entrepreunial effort. Suddenly, you have more money than you dreamed possible. It has been strange coming out of that experience for me. The motivation for work can't be money anymore. I have struggled to find what excites me."
Like most US-minted tech millionaires, Balijepalli provides seed money to Silicon Valley start-ups, but he is now hoping to get a second rush of adrenaline with his new venture ZoomIn.com which targets Indian and Non Resident Indian (NRI) customers.
With multiple offices in the US and India, ZoomIn.com allows Indian-Americans to send glossy prints overnight to friends and family in Indian cities.
"When I was sending photos to my mother when my daughter was born I felt the need for a service like this. I knew my mother wanted to show pictures of her grand-daughter to her friends. Having pictures stored on the computer is different from prints you can show around."
ZoomIn.com's India headquarters is in Mumbai. "Everyone asks me why I set up office in expensive real estate. But Mumbai is my city. I grew up there. If I want to put all my energies behind one company, and one industry — digital photography is a great space to be in. The timing is perfect," said Balijepalli.
"In the US, photos-delivered-to-home is a $7 billion industry," said Balijepalli who predicts India will catch up to the US in seven years. "I am very attracted to disruptive models. Business models which break the traditional mould and establish new ideas.
With Half.com it was about disrupting the way people bought and sold books. ZoomIn.com will be a pioneer in the market for online photo services in India with competitive pricing and innovative features."

Gonchar vs Souray - If Souray can get healthy enough in time the Canadiens have an advantage. Souray has the scoring power like Gonchar but can hit, crash and bang. He will work over Joe Thornton.
The Canadiens know they can beat Boston. They did it 2 years ago. They're not afraid of the "Big Bad Bruins" They know that they can skate around them.
I can't wait to see Begin in the playoffs....
I think this series can go 7 games.
Welcome aboard, Ontario Habsfan ! You gotta love a fan who, in his first post, clearly demonstrates his superior knowledge of hockey and picks the Habs to beat Boston, even though he says in 7 games.

Projects in Progress
Major Projects, Renovations and Upgrades
Site preparation and construction began in late June 2012 for the 90,000-square-foot structure, that will stand next to the Trent Lott National Center for Excellence in Economic Development and Entrepreneurship. The future home of the College of Business is expected to be completed in the Spring of 2015. Impact: All of the parking available in Loyalty Field, has been blocked, and will not re-open. Additional parking is available in the parking garage. Other disruptions to power or water may occur, but will be coordinated or communicated accordingly.
To be located on the western edge of campus on the corner of Montague and Ross Boulevard, this state-of-the-art facility will increase the square footage dedicated to the College of Nursing by 135 percent. The building will feature student interactive areas, an enlarged & enhanced clinical simulation lab, as well as computer labs and classrooms. Construction began in June of 2014, with an estimated completion in the Summer of 2016.
Impact: The spaces in the Theatre & Dance parking lot, from Ross Boulevard to the Wesley Foundation building have been permanetly consumed by the project. Additional outages or interruptions will me announced as the project progresses.
To be built in accordance with the university's master plan, the 954-bed residential complex will include a new student medial clinic, the Luckyday Scholarship administrative offices and a multi-purpose park.
Impact: The project will be completed in two phases: demolition and construction. During the demolition phase, Vann Hall, Scott Hall and the east end of Bond Hall were torn down. Expect loud noises in the surrounding areas, as well as an abundance of dust. When the construction phase began, Black and Gold Ave, and its associated parking from the west end of Thad Cochran to the west end of the Football Field House, were absorbed by the project. Demolition began in August or September of 2012, with construction completion of buildings B and C in July 2014, and Building A in January 2015. There will be scheduled outages associated with the demolition and construction phases of this project. At times there may be street closures and detours, all of which will be coordinated and communicated as necessary.
Age and growth in usage are the catalyst for improvements and upgrades that will be made to the electrical infrastructure supplying power to every building on the Southern Miss campus. Beginning in June of 2012, transformers, conductors, and other infrastructure components were subject to upgrades, and as a result, electrical outages will occur in various stages as the project progresses through 2014. Impact: Shut down of power to buildings will be coordinated and scheduled during periods when the least number of people and events are affected.
Committed to providing the maximum reduction in energy costs, the Physical Plant will upgrade and make additions to the University's HVAC control infrastructure. Energy Reduction retrofits will include incorporation of new technologies into the 11 chiller plants and various buildings. Begun in May of 2012, the energy improvements and repairs will continue through 2014. Impact: Chiller plant shut downs, which will affect the air conditioning of designated buildings, will be scheduled primarily on weekends, holidays and periods when the least number of students, faculty and staff are affected.
With the goal of reducing utility costs on the Hattiesburg campus, the second phase of the Campus Lighting Upgrade took place during the holiday break of 2012. Phase one of the upgrades added lighting improvements to the outdoor walking areas from McLemore to Southern Hall. Phase two of the upgrade will include the replacement of outdoor lighting with new energy efficient LED fixtures, in the areas between Southern Miss Drive and Centennial Lawn. The project will also include the installation of six new code blue emergency phones.

Life returned to normal for people in Mamallapuram and surrounding villages on Thursday, a day after cyclone Nilam made a landfall in the vicinity of this ancient temple town.
At 8 a.m. on Wednesday, power supply to all coastal districts was switched off. While the supply resumed in Mamallapuram a little after noon on Thursday, the smaller villages remained without power till late in the evening.
Along East Coast Road, nearly 20 trees had fallen and the Police Department, along with the fire service, worked through the night to clear the way. There was no major traffic disruption along ECR even during the cyclone, Superintendent of Police of the Kanchipuram District S. Manoharan said.
A total of 3,888 people had been evacuated from their homes before the cyclone and moved to rescue shelters. The majority of them were from Oyyali Kuppam and Pudupattinakuppam villages. Since morning, they had all returned to their homes.
There was no major damage to any of the houses, Mr. Manoharan said.
In Mamallapuram, around 20 trees were uprooted in the rain. They were cleared by Thursday morning.
In the villages surrounding Mamallapuram along Old Mahabalipuram Road, the winds were much stronger and several trees were uprooted. The villagers themselves toiled to remove the trees. Power supply had not been restored to these villages till Thursday night, the official said.
The winds snapped several telephone lines in Mamallapuram and surrounding areas. BSNL officials said they would restore all the lines by Thursday evening.
There was not much disruption to tourism in Mamallapuram village. Though some people chose to leave because of the cyclone, a majority of the tourists on long-term stay chose to stay back.
According to several restaurant and hotel owners, the crowds they received both on Wednesday and Thursday were about normal for a weekday. On Thursday, after power supply resumed, activities picked up with several tourists from Chennai visiting the town.
The shore temple and other important monuments in Mamallapuram remained unharmed. Most of the resorts, even those along the beach suffered no major damage, although the thatched roofs on some of the restaurants on the beach front were blown away.
According to Vladimir and Anne from Russia, the winds were a bit terrifying, but by about 9 p.m. they went on a stroll from their resort.
Jasmine from Israel said lack of electricity was common in the town, but it was a bit uncomfortable not to have power for over 24 hours.

LONG BEACH, Sara Velke: Instead of celebrating the melting pot that most Americans under the age of 50 view as standard, President Barack Obama surprised the White House Press Corps on Friday to contraflow our e pluribus Unum ["Obama reflects on pain after Florida verdict," Front Page, July 20].
|Marshall Ramsey / Creators.com
What would motivate the most liberal president in history to pick that old scab? The intention to distract the nation from real and consequential matters would.
Why would his attorney general explore ways to keep alive conversations of racial divide in the media, confusing a trial where the central issue was self-defense (or not) with racism? The duo sees an opportunity to contort every objection to their agenda into an expression of prejudice against a twice-elected bi-racial president. This defies credulity.
Well into his second term, America's president stepped up to the barely-flickering embers of racial prejudice with a broom in his hands. He could have united the nation with healing by sweeping the invented racial issue off the front page.
Instead, he uses the broom to stoke the flames of racial animus, calculating a new flare up.
SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO, Eloisa San Miguel: The court and our jury system proved beyond reasonable doubt that the death of Trayvon Martin was not a race issue and that George Zimmerman acted in self defense. Why then, was it necessary for President Obama to comment on this case citing his fear that this could happen to his children or to any African American children and how African Americans are vulnerable to be treated unfairly?
It's surprising that being a lawyer, Obama seemed not to have respected the decision of our jury system. After his public talk on TV, it triggered another unruly demonstration against the verdict.
When can we ever draw the line between racial discrimination and bad deeds?
FULLERTON, Tim and Myra Payne: Thank you, Joseph Perkins, for your excellent column on the Trayvon tragedy ["The greatest threat to black youths," Opinion, July 19]. Your words spoke of facts and cleared the emotional responses that we have heard in the last year. It is so disturbing to hear activists Al Sharpton, Rev. Jesse Jackson and even our president feed the fire of hate.
This was a confrontation between two "men" that ended very badly because of bad judgment on both their parts. You are so right that this happens weekly and no laws will end this.
Until we have respect for each other and a moral conscience to do right and avoid evil, this will continue.
TUSTIN, Elizabeth Morelli Brown: As a neighborhood watch captain for more than six years, I know the rules one must follow by the police department. Mainly, do not pursue the suspect or the situation. Always call 911 and wait for the police to arrive. Did Zimmerman do that? No. He took it upon himself to follow an innocent young man who was not breaking any laws.
What is there to prove that Zimmerman was not guilty? My heart aches for Trayvon, his family and all of his friends. I truly know the heart aches, because I lost my mother and a daughter by gunshot.
My prayers are with all.
Farewell to a true freedom fighter

Narrow your search
The Belkin tablet case provides a firm fit and basic protection, but its design conforms better to midsize tablets than 7-inchers.
The hefty pricing aside, the Samsung SSD 850 Pro is one of the best, if not the best, standard consumer-grade solid-state drives on the market.
If you can get past the lackluster design, MyFitnessPal is a must-download if you're watching what you eat.
If you're a dedicated Windows 8 hater, the update to Windows 8.1 isn't going to change your mind. For everyone else, this collection of tweaks, fixes, and new features is useful, but everything here should have shipped in the original version last year.
Even though Foursquare for Windows Phone's design can be overwhelming at first, it's an essential app for finding local attractions.
If you're looking for a fast SSD that offers top capacity at low cost, look no further than the Samsung 840 Evo.
Thanks to its stellar performance and affordable price, the Nexus 7 is the Android tablet to get.
Bing Translator may have a slicker design and more jaw-dropping features, including offline support and augmented reality, but we can't ignore the fact that Google's product supports over 20 more languages.
With its excellent design, useful software features, and low starting price, the Nexus 7 is the cheapest way to experience the best that the Android OS has to offer.
While their sound and design may not appeal to everyone, the Panasonic RP-HTX7s are excellent entry-level over-the-ear headphones that are a good bargain.

I don't think changing the name directly in the dbs will result in a real-time change. On the other hand I've never tried it.

We know what we like! Healthy food passes test; Panel of pupils advises caterers.
HEALTHY eating is on the up at a school in a former mining community, after some of the pupils were enlisted to choose new foods for the canteen.
Around Britain, take-up of school dinners plummeted after criticism by television chef Jamie Oliver prompted officials to put healthier foods on canteen menus.
Parents even passed chips through the fence at one school in England where pupils were banned from leaving the premises at lunchtime.
But the pilot scheme at Ysgol y Grango, in Rhos, Wrexham, aimed to keep the children on side by gradually reducing fat and sugar content through new foods which appealed to the pupils.
Sales of chips plummeted - while pasta and fresh fruit juice proved a hit.
Over the academic year a panel of 10 pupils, representing all age groups at the secondary school, sampled new foods to tell catering managers which ones would go down a treat.
The panel also devised a way to encourage children to buy new foods at lunchtime - giving them free samples at morning break.
During the year Amy Roche, a dietitian from Wrexham Maelor Hospital, trained eight pupils in Year 9 in nutrition. They became food ambassadors, teaching their peers and younger children about healthy eating.
Taking stock at the end of the school year, Ms Roche said the Food Matters initiative at Ysgol y Grango had worked well.
"It has been a learning process for us all. Everyone benefited from this project.
"It is hoped that in the future, more secondary school pupils could benefit from this programme."
She said the peer education programme was particularly successful, as it used selected pupils "to cascade food and nutrition messages to their own peers".
Grace Thorne, 14, was one of the food ambassadors and a member of the School Nutrition Action Group (Snag), which tested potential new foods for the canteen.
"One of the things we recommended was a cookie with raisins and nuts in it," she said.
"We didn't recommend a vegetable stew because we didn't think the children would buy it."
The group gave the thumbs-up to Pasta King, pasta portions with sauce containing hidden vegetables and designed to meet UK nutritional guidelines.
"A lot of kids liked that," said Grace, who has just finished Year 9.
Ysgol y Grango has only 355 pupils but 75 portions of Pasta King were sold each school day, on average, during February.
Lynda Wright, catering manager for Wrexham council, said it was vital to introduce healthy eating in a way the pupils would accept.
"We had to go slowly with it.
England are having a problem because they're having things imposed on them, and the children are voting with their feet and walking out of the canteen."
One priority was to instil the concept of a meal, to replace snacking.
"The children are from a lower-income background. They're not used to sitting down and eating a proper meal with the family. There may be a lot of snacking in front of the TV, or looking after themselves," said Mrs Wright.
Small bags of fruit had proved popular.
"Because children are notoriously bad with peeling an orange or eating an apple, we put chunks of pineapple, watermelon and grapes in a bag and sealed it up.
"We tried a healthy lemon and poppy-seed muffin, with slightly reduced fat and no icing or decorations.
"We're trying to change their palate, to appreciate other flavours.
It's such hard work - they think we're poisoning them. They say, 'I'm not eating that. What is it?'"
Snag came up with the idea of giving pupils a free taste of each new food.
"There are posters around the school advertising that there will be a free product available," she said.
"The children come into the dining room at morning break to try a sample of what's going on the lunchtime menu."
Teacher Chris Corbally, who chaired the Snag, said attitudes were starting to change.
"The main difference has been a reduction in sweets, cakes and desserts."

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Deutsche Bank analyst Matt O'Connor on Friday raised his price targets for seven large bank holding companies heading into first-quarter earnings season.
Saying that Citigroup and KeyCorp "could rise" by beating consensus first-quarter earnings estimates, and that "expectations may be a bit high, for Comerica (CMA), TCF Financial (TCB) and Wells Fargo (WFC - Get Report), the analyst reiterated seven buy ratings and three hold ratings.
O'Connor also said that the 26% year-to-date return of the KBW Bank Index (I:BKX) versus a 12% return of the S&P 500 (SPX.X) is a "big move, banks are still down 9% since the Feb. 14, 2011 peak," and that although "the risk/reward is less compelling now vs. 3 months ago, we remain positive (albeit more selective)," with his "top picks" being JPMorgan Chase (JPM - Get Report) and KeyCorp.
The analyst raised his price targets for the following three bank stocks with "Hold" ratings:For Bank of America (BAC - Get Report), O'Connor raised his price target to $9.00 from $7.50. The company is scheduled to report its first-quarter results on April 19, and O'Connor estimates earnings of 20 cents a share, which is ahead of the 13-cent consensus among analysts polled by Thomson Reuters. Bank of America's shares have returned 72% year-to-date through Thursday's close at $9.53, following a 58% plunge during 2011. For the past 52 weeks, the shares have returned a negative 28%. O'Connor increased his price target for Comerica of Dallas to $29 from $25, saying the "Stock is up sharply this year (+26%), but there's little (if any) benefit to

Katy Perry Is Tarzan + Jane in 'ROAR' Video Teaser
Katy Perry is Tarzan and Jane in the 21-second video teaser for 'ROAR.'
Katy Perry is Tarzan and Jane in the 21-second video teaser for 'ROAR.'
Katy Perry closed out the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards with her new hit single, 'Roar,' from under the Brooklyn Bridge ... and she was a true knockout.
The 2013 MTV Video Music Awards are a place for artists to take risks and show off their fiercest style. Unfortunately, sometimes style can be so fierce that it, well, bites. Check out the best and worst dressed ladies of the evening below!
The entire 2013 MTV VMA red carpet heard Katy Perry "ROAR" as she modeled a leopard print dress -- and some wacky grills! At least she kept her hair simple and slicked back in a ponytail. So much for that toned down look we thought she adapted!
In case her dress wasn't busy enough, it also happens to
The 2013 MTV Video Music Awards will go down tonight (Aug. 25) at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, N.Y. -- but not all the performers will take the stage inside Jay-Z's home turf. Show closer Katy Perry will perform outside the venue ... and under a bridge!
Is this a metaphor for literal trolls to the Internet trolls who keep pitting her against show opener Lady Gaga?
With 'Roar' soaring up the charts, it's no wonder Katycats are biting at the chance to hear more songs from Katy Perry. Luckily, Perry is a people pleaser and just released two lengthy teasers of tracks from 'Prism!'
And in people-pleasing fashion, despite Perry promising her new album would be "f---ing dark," the songs sound like they could be off of the upbeat 'Teenage Dream.'
Lady Gaga and Katy Perry will literally be rubbing elbows at the 2013 MTV VMAs.
Thanks to PEPSI and MTV, Katy Perry fans were able to tweet the #KatyNOW! hashtag to unlock two brand new song titles from 'Prism,' out Oct. 22.
John Mayer loves Katy Perry -- and he also loves her massive new single, 'Roar.' The 'Paradise Valley' crooner couldn't stop bragging about his lady love's new song, as well as his collaboration with her, 'Who You Love.'
Katy Perry sticks to her guns! The 'Roar' singer took another page from Lady Gaga's book, going head to head with Australian politician Tony Abbott, refusing to vote for him because of his stance against gay marriage.
