|THE FURTHER ADVENTURES OF LORD QUAS is the second collage of glorious madness from the gifted MC Quasimoto. Quasimoto is actually versatile producer Madlib, at his most demented, bizarre, and magnificent. The album opens with maniacal, Vincent Price-style laughing, before Madlib announces his alter ego, who launches into a twisted sermon somewhere between the Geto Boys and Eminem. At one point Quas quips "I flow similar to cool whip Tabasco," about as valid a description of his quirky style as any. That track, "Bullysh--," is diverted into a 1950s radio-announcer skit, then returns to the sound of psychotic rhymes. This is par for the course on THE FURTHER ADVENTURES, a deliriously inventive record that combines artful sound-sculpting, funk, hip-hop, and more into a brilliant stew for one of the most inspired records of 2005.
Producer: Madlib; Madlib
Musical Guests
|Melvin Van Peebles
Artist Overview
Quasimoto is the utterly bizarre alter ego of production wizard/MC Madlib (born Otis Jackson Jr.), one of the leading underground producers on the West Coast hip-hop scene. Employing free-associative raps sped up during the recording process to sound like their creator had been inhaling helium, Quasimoto is often backed by liquid-flowing jazz loops and a heavy stoner atmosphere. His first full-length under the moniker, The Unseen (2000), was greeted with generally glowing reviews, earning comparisons to legendary hip-hop eccentrics like Prince Paul and Kool Keith. He returned in 2002 with the three-song, vinyl-only EP Astronaut, followed by The Further Adventures of Lord Quas in 2005. ~ Steve Huey

I'd like to say we gave it a try I'd like to blame it all on our lives maybe we just weren't right that's a lie that's lie and we can deny it as much as we want but In time our feelings will show cause sooner or later well wonder way we gave up the truth is everyone knows ohh almost is never enough so close to being in love if I would have known that you wanted be the way I wanted you then maybe we wouldn't be two worlds apart but right here in each others arms we almost we almost knew what love was but almost is never enough if I could change the world over night there'd be no such thing as goodbye you be standing right where you were and we'd get the chance we deserve ohh, try to deny it was much as you want but in time our feelings will show cause sooner or later we'll wonder why we gave up but the truth is everyone knows, ohh almost, almost is never enou! gh (its never enough babe) we were so close to being in love (so close) if I would have known that you wanted be the way I wanted you then maybe we wouldn't be two worlds apart but here in each others arms but almost is never enough

If one sits back and considers the toughest building to play in the NHL what would it be? Three of those buildings are MSG in New York City, Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia and the United Center in Chicago. The newly relocated Winnipeg Jets will play in each and everyone of those barns early in the 2011 season. They will without question get use to playing on the road early in the season, as 11 of the first 15 games are all away from the MTS Center.
Key to making the playoffs
The Jets are younger than most fans realize. Nik Antropov 31, is the oldest forward on the team. It goes as far as this, half the forwards in the opening night line-up will be 25 years old and younger. Other forwards such as Tanner Glass, Rick Rypien (both 27) have played well under 200 games in the NHL. ] The biggest key to this teams success is the early season road trips. Come game 16, this team cannot be 5-10 or 6-9, they cannot play catch-up that early in the season. Make no mistake, the Washington Capitals and the Tampa Bay Lightning will be 1/2 in the division. Whomever finishes in 3rd place has a chance to make the playoffs, but its highly doubtful the 4th and 5th place team has any chance.
Time on our side
Even if the Jets struggle early in the season, the hockey operations department will not throw a grenade in the dressing room and blow things up. The core of the hockey club starts on the defense with Bogosian, Enstrom and Byfuglien, then up front you've got Ladd, Kane and Little with Pavelic in net. The oldest two players out of that bunch in Byfuglien and Enstrom at 26-years-old. Not to many other places in the league is a core this young. To be successful long term you need to add pieces to the puzzle, just in the last 6 months the organization has added the likes of Fehr and Wheeler which is good start.

2) I wouldn't mock the coach.
3) If the coach is really being a jerk about it, be the bigger man and walk away.
4) There are kids there, be a positive example. Don't inspired them to be booting people off the court.
5) If I had a friend with me, I wouldn't embarrass him along with myself.
Just to name a few.
I've been reading a lot of criticisms like this, that I should have behaved in a more respectful manner in the presence of the children.
I am not a believer in this hyper-protectionist mentality we as a society seem to have regarding children, that they must be shielded from any and all hint of conflict and danger. We don't live in a fantasy world, and children shouldn't be led to believe that we do. Being thrown out into the world at 18 completely unprepared for the depressing reality of life is detrimental; significantly more detrimental than the supposed threat of jungle gyms and TV/video game violence.
Pray tell, what would have been the message to the kids, had I just conceded and left after the coach made his case? The message would have been that, to get what you want, all you have to do is throw your weight around (literally and figuratively, in this coach's case) and people will give in. That is not a lesson that is wise or moral to disseminate to our youth.
If anything, they were better off witnessing someone willing to stand up for what is right, rather than backing down in the face of adversity.
Bills looking good, will win Super Bowl.

Workshop on communication held
TIRUCHI: For those who want to master the art of communication, here is what the speakers of Phoenix '08, a motivational workshop for students, has to say. "Make learning a habit. It expands one's intellectual horizon and lends a helping hand for effortless communication."
The three-day workshop, which began on Friday at Pavendar Bharathidasan College of Engineering and Technology, offered expert suggestions on personality grooming, interview techniques and communication skill. Department Head of Sociology, Bharathidasan University, R. Shanker, lucidly kicked off the session with analogies and historical events.
Quoting lavishly the communication gurus across the world, Dr. Shanker began with dictionary definitions of communication. "It is the basic reciprocity of life and develops proportionately with attitude," he told the students.
Corporate employers no more look for just the subject knowledge but insist on soft skills. "Keep you minds open for new ideas. That would help you update with latest knowledge." Optimal utilisation of available materials from libraries will help the student go a long way in inculcating lateral thinking.
A simple yardstick to assess one's communication skill is to observe the way negative news is put across to others. "A good communicator will use positive words to tone down the negativity of the news."
Former Chief Workshop Manager, Central Workshops, Southern Railway, Ponmalai, G. R. K. Raju, Department Head of Environmental Science, Bharathidasan University, Ravichandran, Department Head of English, University, Premakumari Marshal and others spoke on ways to hone one's speaking skills.
Sessions on personality development, interview skills and 'induction to I. T. world' were handled by Assistant Director of Employment Exchange P. Suresh Kumar, president of Exnora Subramaniam, and other experts from diverse fields.
Chairman of Faculty of Management Studies, Anna University, V. Damodaran inaugurated the workshop. Managing Trustee R. Arun and Principal V. Kandasamy presided over. Department Head of MBA and MCA of the college V. C. Malarmannan coordinated the event.

Once again, Barbara Ehrenreich points out that the emperor (or empress) has very little to cover their fundamental nakedness. Once again Barbara, with wit and precision, helps to bring us down to earth.
It is time for folks to stop playing the game of "who is it going to be?" that is fostered on us by the media. It is time for people to stand up for what they believe is important. Politicians are not leaders. They are followers. Time to give them something to follow.

2013 American Country Awards Performers Announced
A full list of 2013 American Country Awards performers has been announced, and it's packed full of big name country stars!
A full list of 2013 American Country Awards performers has been announced, and it's packed full of big name country stars!
Jake Owen's daughter Pearl arrived on Thanksgiving 2012. She celebrated her first birthday on Friday (Nov. 22) and Owen took to Twitter, his preferred method of communicating with fans, to share an adorable picture from the thoroughly pink festivities.
Luke Bryan is one of the most unique sounding people in all of country music.
We think he sounds a lot like Gomer Pyle. Well golly gee whillikers!
Why was country superstar Luke Bryan sporting a rather large bandage on his hand?
The 2013 American Country Awards nominees (aka the ACAs) have been announced, and it's Taylor Swift who is leading the charge and reigning supreme with a whopping eight nominations this year.
The ladies tied to Luke Bryan and Rascal Flatts' Joe Don Rooney were joined by Carah Owen (Randy Owen's daughter-in-law) to trash the dress. That's Caroline Bryan in white, getting sloppy with ribs and ranch dressing while Tiffany Fallon and Owen hose her down with tequila and Budweiser. But they didn't stop there.
Some are sexy, more than a few are silly and one is just plain dangerous. Country stars like Carrie Underwood and Jake Owen regularly use Twitter and Instagram to connect with fans, bringing them into their daily lives in a new and creative ways. Whether it's Scotty McCreery getting ready for makeup, Luke Bryan flashing his bass, or Tim McGraw just being Tim McGraw, you'll agree that these stars are worth keeping an eye on.
Keith Urban has a new song inside the Top 5 of the list of Top 40 country songs for October 2013. It's the second straight month he's done that, but he achieved the feat with two different songs. 'We Were Us,' Urban's duet with Miranda Lambert, isn't No. 1 this month. That honor goes to a song that is indisputably the hottest song in country music -- even if it's not everyone's favorite song.

A friend asked me recently about one of his reports. He had a few concerns going into annual review calibration. His employee was a smart, strong, consistent contributor, well beyond entry level and independence (see Level up for reference), but he had plateaued. My friend was concerned that his employee didn't recognize he had plateaued, and that he might calibrate poorly against his peers who still have growth potential.
Managers and employees frequently fret about plateaus and growth potential—especially around review time. At what level is it safe to plateau, if any? Does a lack of growth potential mean a 4 or 5 review? Are people who've plateaued delusional if they don't see it? Allow me to clear this up—growth potential is a fairy tale and plateaus are nothing more than places to regroup. Think I'm delirious? I think you're clueless.
Eric Aside
In Microsoft's current rating system for reviews, a 1 means an employee rates in the top 20 percent relative to peers in the same discipline and level band, a 2 indicates the next 20 percent, a 3 is the middle 45 percent, a 4 is the lower 10 percent, and a 5 indicates the employee is in the bottom 5 percent. Rewards are directly determined by an employee's rating (with the very top 5 percent receiving extra). Reviews happen once a year during the summer, though many divisions have a midyear calibration to help determine promotions and recognize performance issues.
There are two different issues revolving around my friend and his employee: the nature of plateaus and the value of growth potential. Let's take them one at a time.
Microsoft's review system used to place value on growth potential. Thankfully, since 2011 that is no longer the case. The review system is now solely based on demonstrated results over time (both what and how).
What should my friend do about his employee who doesn't realize he's plateaued? Treat him like he hasn't. Give the employee assignments appropriate for his continued growth. Either the employee will do well, proving the plateau was temporary, or the employee will fail to excel, sending both of you a clear message that you can discuss.
Mercurial managers might mention, "But what if the employee fails miserably? We can't risk our business on someone who's clearly not capable of reaching the next level!" First of all, cut the assumptions—they're bad for you and your employees. Second, any high risk assignment should have a mitigation plan. If you don't have one, stop being a manager—you're incompetent (worse than plateauing).
Will my friend's employee calibrate poorly against his peers who still have growth potential? That depends—what did his employee accomplish this fiscal year? How does that compare to his perky peers?
People with stalled career growth can still achieve more than their current peers—much more at times. Their perky peers may be less experienced and make more mistakes, technically and interpersonally. We shouldn't reward perky people for their poor judgment, poor behavior, and poor results. Ignorance is a reason, but not an excuse. Our current rating system values proven results, not postulated potential.
"But if we don't pay them extra, how do we retain people who have growth potential?" Help them grow! Give them stretch assignments to challenge their abilities and accelerate their learning. Give them mentors to teach and guide them through all the twists and turns of real experience. Give them thoughtful, constructive, and actionable feedback that hones their skills. Treat them with the respect and dignity that rewards people for exceptional work, not hotness.
What if you are the employee who has plateaued? What's your next move? That depends. What do you want to accomplish…with your life? What role best puts you on the path to achieving your goals?
Knowing what you truly wish to do with your life is critical to happiness and true success. The trick is knowing which "you" to follow—ego, heart, or spirit.
As with all things, you want a balance: ego to help you earn a living, heart to make you happy, and spirit to provide meaning in your life. Too much of any one of these can lead to trouble.
One thing I've learned after a long career is that when you need to make a choice, and the options are balanced with no clear favorite, go with your heart. Your ego is insatiable and your spirit is with you wherever you go and whatever you choose. Your heart knows what truly makes you happy.
I wrote about being fulfilled at a plateau in "When the journey is the destination" (chapter 7) and how to best use your heart (gut) to help you make decisions in You have to make a decision.
What advice did I give my friend with the plateaued employee? Don't assume the employee has plateaued. Give him assignments appropriate for his continued growth, mitigating in case he falls short (true for any employee assignment). Discuss his strong results at calibration—ensure he's alongside those with similar proven results (not imagined). If the employee falters, take time with him to discuss his true aspirations as a balanced, complete human being. Help the employee choose a career path in line with his unique skills and personal vision.
We don't give up—we evolve. We don't reward potential—we shape it. Great people come together at Microsoft to change the world. We need every talent and every insight. Instead of fretting about plateaus, we should be helping each other realize our dreams. When we do, we turn those dreams into a reality for the world.

Milan, Italy
My Rating
This tour covered the many hot spots but the large group format took away from it as we spent a great deal of time pulling the group together to move on. The guide was very knowledgeable put at times because of the large group it was hard to hear what was said.
Milan, Italy
My Rating
Excellent tour. Small group made it very enjoyable and the guide was great in ensuring our safety and providing information about the sights. Really helped me get oriented in the city quickly and find the spots I wanted to return to for a more indepth look.

Freshman QB leads USC against No. 1 Notre Dame
Not many young quarterbacks would even have the audacity to imagine making their first career starts under the circumstances surrounding Max Wittek at the Coliseum on Saturday night.
The freshman is replacing Matt Barkley, an injured senior who has claimed most of the career passing records at Southern California. He's facing Notre Dame (11-0), a storied football power with a No. 1 ranking and the nation's most feared defense.
The Irish need just one more win to book a spot in the national title game, and the struggling Trojans (7-4) have lost three of four. Yet Wittek also has arguably the best receiving duo in the nation catching his passes and a sold-out stadium firmly at his back.
If the enormity of this occasion is scaring Wittek, the confident 19-year-old with a bigger arm than Barkley hasn't shown it a bit.
''You really can't ask for a better opportunity to show what you've got,'' Wittek said. ''I just want to get that first snap, maybe that first hit, out of the way, and I'll be ready to go.''
Although USC has dominated the past decade in this delicious intersectional rivalry, winning nine of 10 and missing a clean sweep by one dropped touchdown pass two years ago, Wittek and the Trojans realize most of the pressure is on the other sideline this time.
The Irish are just one win away from completing a remarkable run to the BCS title game in coach Brian Kelly's third season. With so many pressure-packed wins already behind them this season, the Irish will hit the field in downtown Los Angeles simply trying not to get caught up in the matchup's history - or the history they'll make with a victory.
''You think about it,'' Notre Dame safety Zeke Motta said. ''In the back of your mind, it's there that if you win this game, you're going to play in the national championship. What more motivation do you need? But I think we want to treat it like any other game. Obviously it's a rivalry game, so we're going to be playing fierce and tough. We're just focused on who we're playing against and sticking it to them.''
Notre Dame has done its part to make the schools' 84th meeting appropriately memorable. The Irish headed to the Coliseum with the No. 1 ranking for the sixth time in the schools' shared history, and they're unbeaten when facing USC for the first time since 1993.
USC is headed to a lower-tier bowl game, but could halt its late-season slide from the preseason No. 1 ranking by crushing the Irish's title dreams. USC has stumbled after a 6-1 start to a season of enormous expectations, losing to Arizona, Oregon and UCLA in the previous four weeks.
''This is a game where we can get our respect back and get a good feeling about ourselves,'' USC safety T.J. McDonald said.
Both teams are made up of teenagers and young adults who can't possibly have the same connection to this rivalry as thousands of alumni, former players or football fans who simply enjoy the college sport's best traditions. The USC coaching staff attempted to remedy some of those educational gaps this week, with coach Lane Kiffin and defensive coordinator Ed Orgeron speaking up in team meetings about the series' meaning and lore.
Kiffin also played Notre Dame's fight song during USC's practices this week, hoping to remind the Trojans of their 31-17 upset win in South Bend last year.
''My dad never beat them, so he definitely has a chip on his shoulder when it comes to this rivalry,'' said McDonald, whose father, Tim, also was a defensive back at USC. ''All of the Trojan family is watching. Everyone wants to see how the Trojans are going to play, how they're going to respond from last week. We've just got to be able to go out there and make a statement.''
Everybody on the USC offense knows all about the imposing Irish defense led by linebacker Manti Te'o, which has allowed just 10.1 points per game and eight touchdowns all season. Notre Dame's punishing run defense has been almost impenetrable, but its pass defense has yet to be tested by an offense with USC's talent - even with a freshman quarterback at the controls.
Wittek has played only sparingly this season, but has known he would be under the spotlight this week since the injured Barkley texted him after last week's loss: ''Let's go beat the Irish.''
After two full years of practice in Kiffin's offense, Wittek is eager to show the Trojans won't have to keep it simple as they did two years ago, when backup Mitch Mustain filled in for the injured Barkley in Notre Dame's 20-16 win at the Coliseum.
''They're a great defense, obviously one of the top defenses in the NCAA, but every defense does have their soft spots,'' Wittek said. ''Theirs are obviously limited in being such a great defense, but we are looking forward to taking advantage of some of those soft spots.''
Wittek's confidence doesn't seem so outlandish given the talent around him: receivers Marqise Lee and Robert Woods along with tailbacks Curtis McNeal and Silas Redd. Wittek's teammates are completely familiar with the quarterback who got about 25 percent of the first-team snaps in practice this year - and he's superior to the decorated Barkley in at least one area.
''Max throws much harder. It hurts,'' Lee said with a laugh. ''I have faith in Max. I know he can do it. It's about waiting for your time, and his time is here.''
If the Trojans can crack Notre Dame's vaunted defense, the Irish offense will be required to produce a big game against USC's struggling defense. USC's last four opponents have combined for 156 points, and Notre Dame quarterback Everett Golson is coming off a 346-yard passing performance against Wake Forest - the seventh-biggest in school history, accomplished in just 2 1/2 quarters, no less.
But every number in Notre Dame's favor won't matter when the Trojans go after a historic upset in a rivalry series full of unexpected twists. The Irish understand the perils looming in those 60 minutes before they earn the right to play for another national title.
''It's very exciting,'' Notre Dame center Braxston Cave said. ''This is what guys come to Notre Dame for. We've finally got the program back to where it belongs, and I think guys are really excited about that.''
Associated Press writer Tom Coyne in South Bend, Ind., contributed to this report.

The National 4-H Council has announced the launch of the spring 2014 4-H Paper Clover Campaign in partnership with Tractor Supply Company (TSC). This event marks the fourth year of collaboration between the organizations on the national in-store fundraiser, benefiting state and local 4-H programming in each of the communities where a TSC is located.
"We are so fortunate to have a Tractor Supply store in our county, and Bell County 4-H is blessed by the support of our community through the partnership and the 4-H Paper Clover campaign. This money goes straight into the 4-H Program to help with things like our 4-H Clubs and our 4-H Country Ham Project," said Bell County 4-H Agent Brandy Calvert.
The spring 2014 4-H Paper Clover Campaign will take place April 23 through May 4. Shoppers at the Middlesboro TSC store will have the opportunity to support 4-H in Bell County by choosing to purchase paper clovers for a $1 or more at checkout. All funds raised will be donated to 4-H, and will support 4-H youth development program activities in Bell County.
In just four years, across 48 states, the TSC 4-H Paper Clover Campaign has provided more than $3.3 million to 4-H across the country. All proceeds raised directly benefit 4-H, with 70 percent of funds being returned to state and local 4-H programs. The effort has provided direct support for local camps, after-school programs and other activities, and has granted scholarships to these events that youth can explore their interests in everything from animal science to robotics.
"Our Paper Clover efforts are one of the key ways our stores can give back to the community," said John Wendler, senior vice president of Marketing for Tractor Supply Company. "
By providing essential funding for hundreds of thousands of 4-H young people, we are able to support local organizations that are important to both our customer and our Team Members. We're proud to help improve the many communities in which we have stores through our partnership with 4-H.That is what Tractor Supply is all about."
Once again, funds donated during the national campaign will be tracked online and recorded by state and by store.

Some of you may know this, but there is currently a Fragile Dreams manga that is, unfortunately, only in Japanese. I have purchased it, and am currently posting scanlations on my livejournal ( http://tyfragiledreams.livejournal.com/) Alas, as the most recent post explains, I've been terribly busy, and haven't gotten a chance to scan more chapters, or even work on translations.
So, if anyone would like to help at all, even the smallest contribution would be a great deal to me. By supporting these simple and cruddy scans, you mayeven help to bring the manga toAmerica.You can also support the manga by purchasing it as well on ebay.
Thanks to anyone and everyone who supports the game and manga : )

One rare, no bacon, lots of pepper. One medium well, bacon, lemon and garlic, hold the salt. A medium, bacon, chile... By now I'm going crazy. I can prepare the steaks, but how will I tell them apart on the grill?
Another frustrated chef found the solution for me and other grill-lovers... Grill Charms™!
2010 Camaro V6 : First Lookby George Delozier
Soon after the news of a new Camaro dropped, talk of possible engine packages was flying. Among these discussions was a decently powered V6 that had remained for the most part unspecified. Earlier this week, some new pictures hit the web and they should answer a few questions.

What I'm saying is the same thing as you are saying. If time savers are ok, why not let people buy xp chunks? Why not let people buy their way to 80?
Anyway, no, not reaching level 80 faster than anyone else. Rather, reaching 80 as soon as possible, considering the limitations of the individual player. Those two are not the same thing: in the first, you are competing with everyone else (which is something that you will very likely lose), in the second, you are competing against yourself, which is usually a healthy thing. But not when you can "win" over yourself by paying money.
You are correct that reaching level 80 is not the goal. But it is definitely a goal for many players. Even more so when you are playing your 13th character and you have seen all the starting stories (really despite the branches it's not that different) and you only care about reaching full potential.
The "rush to max level" mindset might be in a minority here on GWO (though I actually doubt that it will be once people actually play the game; some posters here are incredibly self deluded and change opinions seemingly overnight), but in the general MMO populace it is definitely a very common way of thinking.

Community letters: Port Commission, Horton Plaza, Santee planning and more
Former commissioner praised for work
Environmental Health Coalition thanks Stephen Padilla for his incredible leadership during his tenure on the San Diego Port Commission ("Chula Vista's Port Commission rep removed from post hours after honor," SignOn San Diego, Jan. 12).
Padilla was instrumental in many victories for South Bay residents during the past year, including adoption of the Chula Vista Bayfront Master Plan that will protect over 70 acres of natural habitat and create 129 acres of new parks. He was also one of many local and state leaders who worked diligently to end the operation of the South Bay Power Plant. These achievements will benefit the South Bay for decades to come.
EHC remains committed to the goals of economic and environmental sustainability that Padilla advanced, and we look forward to working with Commissioner Ann Moore to achieve this.

Look beyond park in Horton Plaza plan
Creating a large square adjacent to Horton Plaza is a great idea ("A regional treasure can be ours again," Opinion, Jan. 13). But have any elected officials spent any time around the existing park over the last couple of years? If so, they will know it is a place that no one would ever want to spend any time. Unless the city of San Diego is willing to extend a meaningful hand to the ever-increasing homeless population in downtown, this would be a misguided effort.

National City and redevelopment
Gov. Jerry Brown's plans to dismantle redevelopment agencies will hit National City hard ("Brown's plan to phase out agencies criticized," Local, Jan. 12). Mayor Ron Morrison calls the move shortsighted. One has to wonder, when you look at a map of National City redevelopment zones, if the mayor and the City Council were shortsighted. Almost everything west of Interstate 805 is considered a redevelopment zone.
National City's interpretation of blighted areas takes maximum advantage of the state's loose guidelines. National City's grab for state funds is about to backfire. While there has been some progress in National City, the economy has slowed progress to a snail's pace. National City's general fund has had to be subsidized by the highest sales tax in the county to make up for the lost property tax revenue in these redevelopment zones. Perhaps it is time to dismantle this expensive bureaucracy and use the money to save education and services our city provides.

Ticket surcharge ends
Thanks to Deputy Director of Treasury Operations Robin Kulek, San Diego taxpayers will no longer be paying a state-imposed surcharge on parking tickets instead of passing the charge on to those receiving the tickets ("City taxpayers have been covering for scofflaws," Watchdog, Jan. 9). The amount – $3.8 million – that was paid last year is significant and I found it outrageous that San Diego has been paying this state surcharge from public funds for 16 years.
What I find surprising is Councilman Carl DeMaio's lone vote against stopping this expensive practice. Is DeMaio so focused on his plan for cutting services to citizens and pension reform that he can't even be happy about correcting this oversight and thus adding desperately needed revenue to our city budget?

As much as i am against piracy, Crytek deserve that award...money grabbing, console bumming devs to lose.

That's the base many devs take to justify migration to the console realm, so the more you complain and think like that, the more you give them a valid reason to abandon PC gaming, so yeah... keep up the 'good' work.
We already know you're up for piracy, so... anything new to say? If not, shut up your <insert your favourite non-respectable word here> mouth
And now, back on topic...
I don't get why all that hate against developers... first people cry about not having DX11 and now we're supposedly getting it, you're crying about not having... DX10??? Hahahahahaha oh, god... tell me that's a joke...
But well... we live in a (relatively) free world, but I think you're getting things wrong... very wrong... Me buying the most expensive graphics card with support for the latest API doesn't necessarily means the developers HAVE TO include that kind of support... Me whining about it 365 days a year doesn't mean I'll get what I want.
And ranting or directing that hate towards the console realm is even more pathetic and inmature... hey, at least they're doing what we're supposed to do... enjoy their games, and not babble about 'OMG this POS doesn't support my GTX 590 SLI setup die developers die!' and similar crap.

Customer service is poor. Food taste is ok, but definitely not worth how much it costs. Drinks are also very dissapointing and expensive. I would recommend any other restaurant over Aqua.

As a psychological term, Jamais Vu is the phenomenon of the familiar suddenly becoming unfamiliar. New York City quartet, The Things They Carried (known to fans as 3TC) named their forthcoming EP this term in regards to their evolved sound in-between releases. While the group's 2010 debut full-length There's Something I Can't Tell Anyone showcased a more overtly metal-core influence with screaming vocals, Jamais Vu finds the band opting for melodic clean vocals and more experimental song structures. "With this EP, we wanted to create something that we had never heard before," declares Steve Schwartz (vocals/guitars). "There was no
holding back." The result creates orchestral, melodic soundscapes with an emotional intensity lacking in today's heavy music scene. Just as they didn't hold back musically on this release, the lyrical themes heard throughout the EP are just as unguarded, ranging from addiction to family. The latter topic inspiring the song "ARPAD" dealing with Schwartz father and the new single "Something Humans Crave." Addressing the topic of "Something Humans Crave," Schwartz explains "the song is about craving love, but being afraid to love someone because of what that person is going through."
The band was formed in 2009, but after 4 years, they had some shake ups, and members had to be replaced. Currently, the band consists of founding member Schwartz, and new members Ronnie Minuche on Lead guitar, Eric Fornelius on Bass, and Jesse Burton on drums.
The bands philosophy is best summarized by frontman Steve Schwartz: "Music, we believe is about taking risks, putting yourself out there, and hopefully people grab on to it."

For a franchise that had zero Super Bowl wins before he took over as quarterback, it'd be nearly impossible to make the case against Tom Brady as the greatest Patriots player in history.
So who's second-best?
The franchise had a number of down years but still has plenty of talent in its history.
From the dynasty era, there was overachieving linebacker Tedy Bruschi, jack of all trades Troy Brown and future Hall of Famer Ty Law.
Before them there were no championships but there were great players like like Gino Cappelletti and Hall of Famers Andre Tippett, Mike Haynes, and John Hannah.
Who is the greatest Patriots player of all time besides Tom Brady?

Verizon Responds to AT&T's 'Most Reliable Network' Claim
Posted July 22, 2013 at 6:51pm by here | 6478 views| Please help us and submit a translation by clicking
Last week AT&T claimed it had the "nation's fastest and now most reliable 4G LTE network" according to an independent study.
That claim did not sit well with Verizon, who has often used the same 'most reliable' claim. Today, Verizon has responded with a full paged ad, citing it has spent over $7 billion annually to build and maintain their network. The carriers also notes that it's achieving the most awards by RootMetrics for top overall call, text and data performance.
Others have tried to claim reliability. But to us it's not a hollow claim. Or a slogan. Or a fancy ad campaign.
Verizon never directly disputes AT&T but rather wants to let the consumer to make the ultimate decision.

Funny article. I have yet to see any significant difference between the two 'major' players. Most so-called studies have shown Verizon first and ATT last for reliability. This has been consistent. However, it has always been incredibly close between Verizon in 1st place and ATT in 4th place, usually less than a 1% difference. So it simply comes down to location. Use what works best for you. As far as customer service, ATT wins by default. ATT's customer service is generally useless. But Verizon's representatives are rude and arrogant in addition to not knowing anything about cell phones or cellular service. What a choice!

Att is the worse service I ever dealt with. Even tmobile is more reliable than them. Did I mention that their customer service are rude and unprofessional? F U C K AT&T
Fredless - July 23, 2013 at 5:31pm
Worst customer service, not just in the cell phone industry, in the entire world easily goes to Verizon. They are simply incompetent. It's great if you have good service and don't ever have to deal with them. Otherwise, it is an absolute nightmare.

Considering the fact that Mickey Loomis, Jim Haslett (head coach of the Saints at the time) and the Saints defensive coordinator at the time have both denied knowledge of and/or the use of any "listening device", ESPN owes the NFL, NFL fans,and the Saints a complete explanation of why they believed the story (that someone gave them about Mickey Loomis having a listening device that he used to gleen information from visiting head coaches)to be credible. It seems like to me that ESPN has been played for a fool at the least or that ESPN conspired with their source to try to inflict a much damage on the Saints and Mickey Loomis days before the NFL draft. The timing of the release of this story has to raise more than a few eyebrows. Someone should look into what ESPN knew, when ESPN knew it, and how they came across this information. It seems unbelieveable that ESPN would not have fleshed out this story before releasing it (maybe by checking with Mickey Loomis or Tom Benson or Jim Haslett)! Seems incredibly irresponsible t me. However, all is not lost for ESPN. I'm sure some other disgruntled ex-Saints employee or player will come forward to allege that the entire management of the New Orleans Saints has been involved in betting on NFL games or point-shaving or dog-fighting or ****-fighting or voo-doo or satan-worship or etc., etc. I just hope that ESPN can be patient and wait until after the draft before they release their "FINDINGS", so that we can have a peaceful weekend this week.
Originally written on No Guts, No Glory | Last updated 11/6/14
Jim Haslett was the head coach during the period that ESPN claims that the New Orleans Saints GM Mickey Loomis had an electronic device in his suite in the Superdome that allowed him to eavesdrop on opposing teams. Now if those allegations were true, one would think that Haslett would know about the device because such a device would benefit him the most. And since the Saints could only muster a 25-23 record overall and 12-12 record in the Superdome over that period, the alleged device seemingly didn't have any benefit at all.But all that is besides the point according to Haslett because he denies that monitoring opposing teams ever happened. And if it did, he never knew about it. Which wouldn't make much sense at all."At no time during my tenure as head coach with the New Orleans Saints did Mickey (Loomis) and I discuss monitoring opposing team coaches communication, nor did I have any knowledge of this. To my knowledge this concept was never discussed or utilized."Haslett could be...
