McCutcheon tops Logan, wins 3rd straight sectional crown
February 12, 2012North Central Conference
LOGANSPORT — One thing Logansport's girls basketball team didn't want to do against the powerful McCutcheon Mavericks was to fall behind by double digits in Saturday night's Class 4A Logansport Sectional championship game.
But unfortunately for the Berries, their shots weren't falling at a fast enough rate early on, and they found themselves trailing by 12 points at halftime in the title game. Logan made a great charge in the third quarter, but McCutcheon recovered just in time and pulled away for a 62-50 win.
The eighth-ranked Mavericks (20-3), led by six seniors who have enjoyed a great deal of championship success in high school sports, won their third straight sectional title. All three championship games have come at the expense of the Berries (20-4), who seemingly will be the favorites to bring home the title next year.
The biggest difference of the game statistically Saturday night was Logan shot 35.3 percent from the field to McCutcheon's 48.9.
"We played about as well as we can play, except for shooting the ball," Logan coach Jerry Hoover said. "We didn't shoot the ball real well. I thought we missed a few lay-ins and a few wide-open shots that we normally will knock down.
"But I am absolutely not disappointed in the way we played. Every girl who played hard, every girl who played, played smart."
By the Logan coaching staff's count, the Berries missed seven layups in the first half, though most were contested by the taller Mavericks, whose starters range from 5-foot-8 to 6-foot tall. That in part caused the Berries to shoot just 35 percent from the field in the first half and fall behind 35-23 at the break, again the type of margin they didn't want to have to face.
But in the third quarter the 3,000-plus fans in attendance got to "Whitness" a preview of the type of play Berry fans are going to see over the next two years. Sophomore sensation Whitney Jennings started heating up from the field and was making unbelievable shots to bring Logan back to within 40-38 with 1:30 left in the third quarter. Another Logan youngster with immense talent, freshman Nakeya Penny, had four points during the charge.
After the Berries cut the lead to two, they got the ball back but then turned the ball away in the press, one of just 10 turnovers for the game facing constant fullcourt pressure, and McCutcheon might have gotten away with a walk and later sank two free throws on the possession to push the lead back up to four. Logan then had two good looks around the basket but came up empty, and Amanda Neill drilled a 3-pointer at the horn to give McCutcheon a 45-38 lead entering the fourth.
It was the Mavs' third buzzer-beater of the game — Neill also had one to end the first quarter and Jessica Hollinger had one right before halftime — that totaled seven points, Logan's deficit entering the final frame. The Berries, and in particular Jennings, have been great at getting buzzer-beaters to end quarters, but on this night they got some of their own medicine.
McCutcheon opened the fourth with a 6-0 run to take a 51-38 lead midway through, as Logan had several shots just somehow bounce off, a theme of the game. McKenzie Mills had back-to-back steals in that time with the game still in single digits, but a questionable charging call at best on Jennings and later a jump-ball situation negated the turnovers, two of McCutcheon's 16 in the contest.
The Berries still had a final charge in them, as Mills hit four straight free throws and Penny made two baskets, one after another Mills steal, to cut the lead to 53-46 with 2:41 remaining.
Mills came up with another steal but a Jennings shot was just off the mark on a chance to cut the lead to five. Jennings did connect on her next try to cut the lead to 54-48 with 1:46 left, but Lakan Hasser-Smith hit 1 of 2 free throws, and the miss went out of bounds off Logan. Ashlynn Sexton then scored on the in-bounds lay to make it 57-48 with 1:37 left, and the Mavericks made it academic from the foul line from there.
Jennings finished with 17 points, 13 of which came in the second half against an outstanding team defensive effort by McCutcheon. Mills had a solid final game with 11 points, five rebounds and four steals. Penny finished with eight points and five boards, Rachel Jennings had six points and five boards and Kiley Victor added four points and five boards.
The Berries used a box-and-one defense on leading-scorer Hasser-Smith the entire night and held her to eight points. But reputed Berry killers Neill and Sexton led the way for the Mavs with 20 and 18 points, respectively. Chasity Horn had nine points and seven boards, and Hollinger added six points and 12 boards.
"It's disappointing to go out like this," Whitney Jennings said, "but we had a great year, I'm so proud of my team. We had a great year, we played so hard every game. It's a heartbreaking loss, but we'll learn from it and go on.
"McCutcheon's a great team, they beat us the last three years [in sectional finals]. Every year I keep thinking it's going to be our year, but we're going to work really hard this summer in the offseason and get ready for next year. … We'll go on, we'll get better because of this."
Logan will graduate three seniors, starter Mills, sixth man Bailey McIntire and Katie Workman, a 6-foot-3 center who missed nearly the entire season with a torn ACL.
"When Katie Workman got injured the second game of the year, if somebody would have told me we would have won 20 ballgames this year with this group of young ladies, I wouldn't have agreed with them," Hoover said. "They really overachieved in my judgment."

Chad Kroeger mocks Sum 41's Deryck Whibley for Avril Lavigne Halloween costume Nickelback Tickets
The Sum 41 front man and his partner, Ari Cooper, go to a party in Kroeger and Lavigne costumes
The Sum 41 frontman, who was once married to the 'Complicated' singer, was joined at the party by his model partner Ari Cooper, who went dressed as Kroeger.
After seeing a photo of the pair at the party, Kroeger went on his Twitter and suggested that he and Lavigne were considering going out for Halloween dressed up as Sum 41, but added that the band weren't famous enough for them to bother with the effort.
He wrote:
Hey Deryck loved the costumes! we were going to dress up as you guys this year but all the parties had celebrity themes haha! -CK— Nickelback (@Nickelback) October 28, 2012
Avril Lavigne was married to Deryck Whibley for three years, but the couple split up in 2009. She went on to date American TV star Brody Jenner, who is Kim Kardashian's stepbrother, but they broke up at the beginning of 2012.
Chad Kroeger, who is 10 years Lavigne's senior, has previously said that he doesn't care about "the world's opinion" of their engagement, adding that he and the singer were "both very happy".

Big Ben Accusations
Reno, NV - Law enforcement officials in Nevada have no intention of opening a criminal investigation into allegations Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger raped a woman at a Lake Tahoe hotel-casino a year ago
the sheriff's department said Wednesday.
Douglas County Sheriff's Deputy Teresa Duffy said the accuser would have to file a criminal complaint to trigger an investigation into the incident the woman says occurred during a celebrity golf tournament last July while she was working as an executive casino host at Harrah's Lake Tahoe.

The Smith College Department of Athletics and Recreation inducted its first ever class into the Smith College Pioneers Hall of Fame on October 20, 2012 at a ceremony held at the Alumnae House. Twelve individuals and one team, representing some of the greatest achievements in women's physical education, sport, and athletics made up the inaugural class.
For the large majority of nearly 50 Smith students who become members of the college's rugby team, it's an unfamiliar game, unlike athletic activities they participated in in high school, or even came to know as spectators. But once they're on the team and accustomed to the physicality and competition—the full-speed hitting, the shoving, the scrum—something about rugby grabs them and doesn't let go.

Cars ransacked, stolen in Calais
CALAIS State Police believe three men were involved in a car-stealing spree early Friday morning in Calais.
The group was allegedly responsible for numerous thefts from unlocked vehicles and multiple stolen vehicles being crashed off-road.
Police said the perpetrators stole items from unlocked vehicles at area residences, apparently drove away with a vehicle if the keys had been left inside, then crashed the stolen vehicles.
It looks like they were just going through vehicles, trying to loot whatever they could find, then just take whatever car they could find to continue their little rant, State Police Trooper Alex Comtois said.
The first vehicle that was ditched was a Jeep registered to an address in Colchester. It had slid off a snow-covered Luce Road, Comtois said.
A little farther north, the group stole a van before sliding off the same road, he said.
Also, a Honda CR-V on Max Gray Road about two miles away was stolen from a garage, police said.
In each case, Comtois said he didnt believe the vehicles had been hot-wired.
The thieves rifled through at least six vehicles altogether, according to officials, stealing cell phones, GPS devices, and purses.
Police received the call for assistance shortly after 2 a.m. and because of the slippery road conditions, it took them about 45 minutes to arrive.
State Police ask anyone with information to call the Middlesex barracks at 229-9191 or Vermont Crime Stoppers at 1-800-529-9998.
They took the final vehicle, Comtois said. Thats what were looking for now.

The first part studies genetic networks that are inferred using gene expression data. Here we use established transcriptional regulatory interactions (TRIs) in combination with microarray expression data from both <italic>Escherichia coli</italic> (a prokaryote) and <italic>Saccharomyces cerevisiae</italic> (a eukaryote) to assess the accuracy of predictions of coregulated gene pairs and TRIs from observations of coexpressed gene pairs. We find that highly coexpressed gene pairs are more likely to be coregulated than to share a TRI for <italic>Saccharomyces cerevisiae</italic>, while the incidence of TRIs in highly coexpressed gene pairs is higher for <italic>Escherichia coli</italic>. The data processing inequality (DPI) of information theory has previously been applied for the inference of TRIs. We consider the case where a transcription factor gene is known to regulate two genes (one of which is a transcription factor gene) that are known not to regulate one another. According to the DPI if certain conditions hold, the non-interacting gene pairs should have the smallest mutual information among all pairs in the triplets. While we observe that this is sometimes the case for <italic>Escherichia coli</italic>, we find that it is almost always not the case for <italic>Saccharomyces cerevisiae</italic>, thus indicating that the assumed conditions under which the DPI was derived do not hold. The second part of this dissertation is related to the dynamical process of epigentic heritability. Epigenetic modifications to histones may promote either activation or repression of the transcription of nearby genes. Recent experimental studies show that the promoters of many lineage-control genes in stem cells have "bivalent domains" in which the nucleosomes contain both active (H3K4me3) and repressive (H3K27me3) marks. Here we formulate a mathematical model to investigate the dynamic properties of bivalent histone modification patterns, and we predict some interesting and potentially experimental observable features. The third part of this dissertation studies dynamical systems in which a large number $N$ of identical Landau-Stuart oscillators are globally coupled via a mean-field. Previously, it has been observed that this type of system can exhibit a variety of different dynamical behaviors including clumped states (in which each oscillator is in one of a small number of groups for which all oscillators in each group have the same state which is different from group to group), as well as extensive chaos (a situation in which all oscillators have different states and the macroscopic dynamics of the mean field is chaotic). One of our foci is the transition between clumped states and extensive chaos as the system is subjected to slow adiabatic parameter change. We observe and analyze explosive discontinuous transitions between the clumped states and the extensively chaotic states. Also, we study the fractal structures of the extensively chaotic attractors. 2014-01-01T00:00:00Z Structural Changes and the Nature of Superconductivity in Rare-earth Doped CaFe2As2 http://hdl.handle.net/1903/16255 Title: Structural Changes and the Nature of Superconductivity in Rare-earth Doped CaFe2As2 Authors: Drye, Tyler Brunson Abstract: Chemical substitution into iron-pnictide parent compounds (e.g. AFe2<\sub>As2<\sub> where A=Ba, Sr, or Ca) has proven to be an effective means to induce bulk high-temperature superconductivity in these systems. By doping CaFe2<\sub>As2<\sub> with rare-earth lanthanides (La, Ce, Pr, and Nd), we have observed a 47 K superconducting phase coexisting with a lattice distorting "collapse" transition. Both of these effects have important ramifications: the collapse transition occurs when interlayer As atoms form a bond, shrinking the <italic>c-axis<\italic> lattice constant and simultaneously quenching the iron magnetic moment. This transition is further explored in context of a similar system, Sr-doped BaNi2<\sub>As2<\sub>. The superconducting phase, given the right combination of conditions, appears with a critical temperature as high as 49 K, but always in a very small volume of the sample (as determined by shielding effects). This has led to interesting theories about the nature of this superconductivity. A recently posited idea of "interfacial superconductivity" has been ruled out by our tests. Additionally, increasing the concentration of rare-earth atoms does not increase the superconducting volume fraction, but, in fact lowers the transition temperature, excluding the hypothesis that rare-earth defects are responsible for the minority superconducting phase. New pressure measurements have shown that the superconducting phase is stabilized when antiferromagnetic order is fully suppressed. 2014-01-01T00:00:00Z Search for Pair Production of Third-Generation Scalar Leptoquarks and R-Parity Violating Top Squarks in Proton-Proton Collisions at sqrt(s) = 8 TeV http://hdl.handle.net/1903/16252 Title: Search for Pair Production of Third-Generation Scalar Leptoquarks and R-Parity Violating Top Squarks in Proton-Proton Collisions at sqrt(s) = 8 TeV Authors: Pedro, Kevin Abstract: This dissertation presents a search for pair production of third-generation scalar leptoquarks or top squarks in R-parity violating supersymmetry decaying through the coupling λ′333, with the new scalar particle decaying to a tau lepton and a bottom quark. The data used in this search were collected by the Compact Muon Solenoid experiment and comprise 19.7 fb-1 of proton-proton collision data from the Large Hadron Collider at a center-of-mass energy of √(s) = 8 TeV. No excess of events above the standard model background prediction is observed. The existence of third-generation scalar leptoquarks or top squarks with masses below 740 GeV is excluded at the 95% confidence level, assuming the branching fraction for the decay to a tau lepton and a bottom quark is 100%. This is currently the strongest limit on this kind of leptoquark or top squark. The search is extended to address a chargino-mediated decay of the top squark involving the R-parity violating coupling λ′3jk, producing a tau lepton, a bottom quark, and two light quarks. The existence of top squarks in this model with masses below 580 GeV is excluded at the 95% confidence level. This is the first search for the pair production of top squarks with the decay involving the R-parity violating coupling λ′3jk. 2014-01-01T00:00:00Z Characterization of Nonlinear Waveguides for All-Optical Signal Processing http://hdl.handle.net/1903/16250 Title: Characterization of Nonlinear Waveguides for All-Optical Signal Processing Authors: Wathen, Jeremiah Abstract: This dissertation documents research of the optical properties of chip-based nonlinear waveguides to assess their suitability for all-optical processing in the telecommunications spectrum. Three related topics are presented: (1) enhanced continuous-wave four-wave mixing in AlGaAs waveguides; (2) a new method to characterize nonlinear refraction and loss in waveguides; and (3) the non-instantaneous optical nonlinearity of a hydrogenated amorphous silicon waveguide. For topic (1), enhancements of the continuous-wave four-wave-mixing efficiency and bandwidth are accomplished by engineering the growth and fabrication of AlGaAs waveguides. The bandgap of the core-layer alloy is tailored to suppress nonlinear absorption and the fabrication is optimized to produce small-mode-area, dispersion-engineered waveguides with sub-dB/cm propagation losses. A four-wave-mixing conversion efficiency of -6.8 dB is observed in an AlGaAs waveguide that exhibits a propagation loss of 0.56 dB/cm. This conversion efficiency is among the highest reported for any passive semiconductor or glass waveguide. Another low-loss AlGaAs waveguide is featured, which is dispersion-engineered to produce a measured conversion-bandwidth of 63.8 nm with a pump wavelength of 1550 nm. For topic (2), a new technique is described for accurately measuring the ratio between the imaginary part and the real part of a waveguide's third-order nonlinearity. Unlike most other methods, it does not depend on precise knowledge of the coupling efficiencies, the optical propagation loss, or the optical pulse shape. The method is applied to measure the nonlinear loss tangents of a GaAs waveguide, two bandgap-engineered AlGaAs waveguides, a large-area crystalline silicon waveguide, a crystalline silicon nanowire waveguide, and a hydrogenated amorphous silicon nanowire waveguide. For topic (3), pump-probe spectroscopy and continuous-wave cross-phase- and cross-amplitude-modulation measurements are used to study the optical nonlinearity of a hydrogenated amorphous silicon nanowire waveguide. The results are compared to those of a crystalline silicon waveguide of similar dimensions. The hydrogenated amorphous silicon nanowire shows essentially zero instantaneous two-photon absorption, but it displays a strong, long-lived non-instantaneous nonlinearity that is both absorptive and refractive. Power-scaling measurements show that the non-instantaneous nonlinearity of the hydrogenated amorphous silicon scales as a third-order nonlinearity. Phase-transient measurements show that the refractive component possesses the opposite sign to that expected for free-carrier dispersion. 2014-01-01T00:00:00Z

"My Partner and I were celebrating one of life's milestones and we were so glad we chose the hospitality of Debbie and Philip who made our stay in Edinburgh incredible. From the fact that the apartment had everything we needed to feel at home and a place to relax after days of exploration of the sights throughout Edinburgh. To sharing their knowledge of the city and surroundings to make the best of a few days exploring the city. . We found that using Pilrig House as our base it was very easy getting throughout the city using public transportation.

While President Barack Obama seeks "reconciliation" with Islamic nations, a recent poll taken in the Jewish state of Israel shows Obama's plummeting popularity with a valued ally.
Pechter Middle East Polls (PMEP) released data from a nationally representative telephone survey of 500 Israeli Jews conducted in Hebrew June 7, 2010. The margin of error is +/- 4 percent.
The poll was undertaken in the aftermath of the May 31, 2010 Israeli ship boarding in international waters off Gaza that left nine activists dead and several Israeli commandos injured.
The poll revealed that 71 percent disliked U.S. President Barack Obama with 47 percent expressing a strong dislike. In all, 63 percent of those polled were dissatisfied with the American government's reaction to the incident.Meanwhile, 53 percent were satisfied with Prime Minister Netanyahu's job performance while only 41 percent were satisfied with Defense Minister Ehud Barak's job performance.
Eighty five percent of the respondents indicated that Israel either did not use enough force (39 percent) or used the right amount of force (46 percent) regarding the recent ship-boarding incident. Only eight percent felt the Israelis used too much force. Sixty one percent felt that Israel should not adjust its tactics to elicit a more favorable international reaction.
Seventy three percent of those polled indicated that Israel should not open up Gaza to international humanitarian shipments. A majority of those polled, 56 percent indicated that Israel should not agree to an international inquiry committee to investigate the incident.
Responding to rumors that Turkish Prime Minister is planning to come in person on a ship accompanied by Turkish Navy in order to break through the blockade, 75 percent of those polled indicated that Israel should stop him whatever it takes. Regarding news reports that Iran is planning to send Red Crescent ships to Gaza, 84 percent of those polled said stop them whatever it takes.

Super Typhoon Nida (04W) Over the Philippines
April 5, 2013
The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) onboard NASA's Aqua satellite captured this true-color image of Super Typhoon Nida churning through the Philippine Islands on May 18, 2004. Packing winds of 100 miles per hour and gusts of up to 122 mph, the typhoon caused floods and landslides in the Bicol region of the main island of Luzon. Nida has been responsible for at least six deaths in the Philippines and has displaced thousands as it skirted the eastern part of the country before moving towards southern Japan.

The Worldwide Partner Conference wrapped up today with 4 days of great info for thousands of Microsoft Partners (mostly VARs & VAPs). Essential Business Server was demoed and referred to throughout the conference. For people who weren't able to attend, some of the events were recorded or have web sites. Here's a quick recap of some of the happenings.
The big news from WPC was that we announced Release Candidate 1 of EBS and demoed it live for the first time publicly. Several of the talks that included EBS demos were recorded, including:
In addition, there was a high interest talk on how to choose which product is right for your company - Small Business Server or Essential Business Server. If you'd like to see this talk, - Click here, mouse over "breakouts" and select the "SMB Server Platform - Which is right for your customer?")
There were plenty of interesting things to see, including the HP C3000 - a blade system sized perfectly for the mid market. We showed this off in Mike Risse's keynotes and saw a lot of people wearing HP USB Wristbands (where will they think to put a USB key next ;-) ) with the www.EBSandC3000.com URL on it walking around.
IBM & Intel were present with us in our booth showing the IBM BladeCenter S and Intel Modular Server which are also designed specifically for mid sized companies and provide ideal platforms for EBS. Dell also showed how well their mini-rack solution with additional EqualLogic storage runs EBS.
Several of the media and roaming video blogging/video sites were there doing interview on all the news, including Joey Snow from Technet Edge who did this short interview with Joel Sider on some of the EBS announcements.
There was a lot more that happened today that will likely go online soon, but I wanted to get this up there so no one was left out of all the recent happenings.

Telangana Rashtra Samiti (TRS) has thanked the Congress leadership and the Union Government for taking forward the process of formation of Telangana State by clearing the draft bill, though it has objections on some of the provisions in it.
Party president K. Chandrasekhar Rao said after a three-hour polit bureau meeting attended by party MPs, MLAs and MLCs here on Friday that Telangana State had been possible mainly because of AICC president Sonia Gandhi's commitment and courage. "Special thanks to Sonia Gandhi for making the dream of Telangana people possible".
He also thanked the Prime Minister, Union Cabinet, BJP and other parties who had supported statehood to Telangana. "It's not anybody's victory but the result of sacrifices made by martyrs", Mr. Chandrasekhar Rao said. He had appealed to people in 2001 to cooperate with him and he would get them Telangana with a call to stone him to death in case he betrayed them. "They supported me and made it possible," he stated.
The polit bureau meeting examined the draft bill and experts were still studying it so that the party could write to the Prime Minister on the objections it had against the provisions in the draft bill and requesting him to correct anomalies in the final bill. "If our requests are not obliged, we will raise them in Parliament and convince it that our objections are genuine," the TRS chief said.
Strongly objecting to the provision of investing powers on law and order to Governor in GHMC limits Mr. Chandrasekhar Rao said any infringements of the powers of a democratically elected government would be against the constitution. "It amounts to insulting the people of Telangana who want their State (29 one) to be like the 28 others and should share similar ties with the Centre. Besides, law and order is a State subject," he said.

Strangers' Abode: Zombie General Edition
By TwoLines 3 Comments
Strangers Abode! My blog segment in which I feed you with my brain mush!
Hmm.. that didn't sound right at all..
Star FantasyOr Final Craft.
I'm loving Final Fantasy XIII. And it's not that I love the series unconditionally .
I hated the 12th part. But something about Lightning's story is very appealing to me.
I've been playing for 50 hours, and I've had a blast all the way through.
The combat is fun, the story is engaging, the world is interesting the characters are..
Well yeah. Hope and Vanille are the game's only problem. They should've been toned down a little bit.
But they eventualy overcome their problems, so it's not that bad. And I've noticed the linear gameplay, I don't mind it all that much though.
The thing that bothered me- and that found its place in Brad's review- is that you don't feel the scale of the world. I mean, how could you?
You're moving around through tight corridors and never see the map, it's like the whole place is a giant maze more than an actual world.
And you don't participate in any games, side missions or anything interesting with other people.
It's like reading a book. It has a plot, interesting events, but no interactivity. And last I've heard, this was a GAME.
Don't get me wrong, I don't want a nameless character and/or an open world sandbox game.
God no. I hate those games. I just think that someone somewhere forgot what makes games special.
Ah hell, even with those problems the game's awesome, and I recommend it.
Also, Starcraft 2.
Played a bunch of multiplayer, and I pretty much suck at that game.
It's still fun though.
Oh yeah:
Hence the title.
Vampire HuntingCastlevania HD is a good game. It may not be a great game, and God forbid a supberb one, but it's not BAD.
At least it wasn't bad for me.
But you have to gather a possie to have a good time with it. And and play it on hard. Then it gets crazy. Crazy FUN that is!
Hahaha, I'll be here all day folks!
No I won't, I have to go!

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
is destruction really that underpowered when you consider...
- Back To:
- Board List
- Topic List
- Topic Archived
That legendary dragonbone weapons only do damage in the 70-80 range when you upgrade them normally (with the appropriate perks in one-handed and smithing, and without enchanting and alchemizing your smithing skill), while the expert destruction spells deal 90 damage with the appropriate perks.
However, that being said, I started a new character on legendary difficulty. And while I only have the novice destruction spells at this point, I've noticed that these spells seem to do little more than tickle my opponents. I've never played very far with a character that uses destruction. Is it going to feel this way for the entire game? Even when I get the expert spells? And if an expert destruction spell really does more damage per hit than regular weopons do, why does it still feel underpowered? Does it end up doing less dps? Plus the fact that you miss more often?
Its not about the damage its about the impact. As long as you can stunlock every single enemy in the game, you are invincible, hence it does not matter if the damage is a little bit low.
Finally. Mars has accepted my sacrifices and unleashes me. - Legate Lanius
I never understood the fact that people hate destruction because it doesn't do as much damage as weapons.
With destruction, you are sacrificing damage for range and versatility.
"There's no problem you can't solve with a reasonable amount of violence" -Erin Stout
"CHEESE!!! CHEESE FOR EVERYBODY!!!" -Sheograth
Na, magic isn't UP.
Smithing, alchemy, enchanting, melee, archery and stealth are OP.
The Expert spells do good damage. The problem is that they're ridiculously overpriced. My level 30 something Destromage with magicka in the mid 500s, Master Robes and the Apocrypha cost reduction passive can only cast a small handful before running all out. Even on Adept, they are insufficient. I don't want to imagine how bad it would be on Legendary.

Pretty much this.
With all the ways you can boost Melee damage (smithing, enchanting, sneak attacks, alchemy, beserker rage, agent of dibella, seeker of might) it grossly out powers destruction in every way other than speed and versatility.

There are simply too many ways to increase the damage done by weapons. Fortify One-handed, Two-handed, and Archery enchantments should not exist. Neither should fortify smithing or enchanting potions.

and stealth isn't OP it's stupid broken xD
on topic while destruction is cool it's meh compared to the other schools
but i still have fun with it

MC2011 posted...Na, magic isn't UP.
This is just what everyone has been saying since the beginning of time.
But you have your idiots saying things like "You guys get ur potionz 4 le magik"
Really now?
Well you melee users just get your fortify one-handed potion AND apparel.
Magic would be fine if we had more apparel than a single mask from dlc that could do anything to it.
I swear you can kill enemies faster with maxed out melee and a fork than you can with maxed out magic.
If magic isn't underpowered, then everything else is extremely overpowered.
That still makes no sense, because if magic is weaker than the majority of things, then it is by definition underpowered in comparison to other methods of combat.
Maybe they're more equal if you use 0 things that increase the performance in any single way, but nobody does that, so stop trying to act like they do and use that as an argument to anyone that does.

Yeah, it sure did flop hard. I dont think the sales will be going anywhere from here onwards. New and better games are coming now or very soon. Dead Space 3, Sly Cooper and MGR are out. After that GOW: Ascension, Tomb Raider and GOW: Judgement are coming. No one will even remember this game once both DLCs are released this month.
From: RetsuxD | #011
Yeah, this can't be true, I mean, after all the backing this got from GENUINE REVIEWS, I can't see the mainstream crowd not having this reach at least 600K.
The H&S genre is already a subgenre. In the generation of "If it's not a multiplayer FPS, I don't want it", it's appeal to a "mainstream" crowd is already more contingent upon reviews than most. Once people started browsing and finding all the controversy and complaints, the sales numbers aren't too unbelievable.

Now two possibilities:
We may get DMC 5 not made by Ninja Theory or
If Capcom is being stupid, then we may not get DMC games at all.
Although I would not rule out the slightest possibility of them making DmC 2.
I just wish Capcom listens to their fans. I mean enough with the BS already.

Although many predicted this repeat of history, i dont think this requires a huge celebration.
save that for the announcement of DMC5.
I'm 100% sure DmC will succeed and sell a million or even 2.5 million so please feel free to quote me on this months after it's released or even before. The pre-orders will speak in volumes.
I will come back in here and gloat when it does:) When Capcom announces that NT will be taking over the franchise here on out, I'll take my gloating even further with You Tube footage.

I use the 2 battery bank as the starting battery and the 4 battery bank as the house battery. The bank of 4 gives 440 amp hours of capacity, so if you go this route, a 100 amp alternator is about right. I have a Balmar 100 amp with their 3-stage regulator. Seems to work pretty well with my battery configuration.
I would recommend these batteries as good value for the money. I paid about $75 each about 5 years ago. I have had to replace the batteries about every 8-9 years with usage mainly on weekend cruises with a fridge being my biggest draw. I have tried "marine" starting batteries and gotten 2-4 year service so in my experience the golf cart batteries have been a good investment.
I''ll definitely use the T-105''s again (hopefully not for several more years) although I will probably reconfigure to the more recent recommended way of doing things and do away with the 1-2-Both switch in favor of a totally automatic system like discussed here: http://www.amplepower.com/primer/prefer/index.html
There''s lots of info available on this subject on the web, just do some Google searches.
A disadvantage of the 6V batteries is extra connections to wire them in series-parallel.

"We know that now kids are back in school and outdoor pools are closing down. We wanted to celebrate with our community," said YMCA Operations Director Suzanne King.
The YMCA recently renovated their indoor aquatic center and wanted to open it back up to the community this holiday weekend.
"There's new paint on the walls, there's new tiles on the sound tiles, and the pool's been cleaned. So the tank is a lot whiter if you will and brand new water," said King.
The Y says they didn't know what to expect when opening the pool near the end of the summer.
"When we offered this yesterday we really didn't know how many people would take advantage of this but we're just glad we have some of our community in to use our pool and see the renovations that have been done to the center," said King.
St. Joseph Resident Brandii Mitchell and her family were spending the day outside when they decided to cool off a bit.
"It was pretty hot outside so we decided to go ahead and come down to the YMCA. They have really nice facilities here, it's a family friendly environment and it's a great way to beat the heat in the pool," said St. Joseph Resident Brandii Mitchell.
And traveling for them this weekend was out of the question.
"With the gas prices and everything the way they are, it was just kind of nice to stay at home and there were so many nice things going on in St. Joseph this weekend and [we'd] rather take part in that," said Mitchell.
Families had fun keeping cool but kids had even more fun.
"It's all for youth. It's all about youth, having fun, and families having fun together," said King.
The pool will be closed on Sunday but will be open on Labor Day from 5 am to 11 am.

Avid Customers Demonstrate Creative Excellence at 60th Annual Emmy Awards
Avid Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ: AVID), today announced that all of the Emmy Award winners across 31 Outstanding Picture Editing, Outstanding Sound Editing/Mixing, and Outstanding Program categories at the 60th Annual Emmy(R) Awards used at least one system from Avid(R) — or its Digidesign(R), Softimage(R), Sibelius(R) and M-Audio(R) brands — to create this year's top television programming. A majority of these programs employed workflows consisting of multiple systems from the various Avid brands. In total, more than 140 nominees in 38 categories used Avid brand systems. From first-time nominees and winners such as "Pushing Daisies,""Damages" or "Flight of the Conchords," to repeat honorees such as "30 Rock,""Lost" or "South Park," editing, audio and animation professionals continue to choose systems from the Avid family to achieve creative excellence.
"Once again, our customers continue to push the envelope and demonstrate the highest level of creativity that television has to offer," said Gary Greenfield, CEO of Avid. "We congratulate these talented professionals on their continued success at this year's Emmy Awards. The Avid family is thrilled to have supported them in the realization of their dreams."
In recent years, it has become increasingly common for television production teams to use a range of Avid film, video, audio, animation, and broadcast solutions to meet their needs. For example, the team behind the hit TV series "Lost," which received a 2008 Emmy Award for "Outstanding Sound Mixing for a Comedy or Drama Series (One-Hour)" and was nominated in several other categories, used Avid systems for editing, finishing and shared storage, and Digidesign Pro Tools(R) systems and M-Audio recorders and headphones to capture, mix and deliver the production's highly realistic soundscapes.
To read profiles of 2008 nominees and winners — and quotes from the creative minds behind programs such as "Lost,""Pushing Daisies,""Deadliest Catch,""Flight of the Conchords,""The Simpsons,""South Park,""John Adams" and "American Idol" — please visit http://www.avid.com/emmys.asp?cmpid=emmy08pr_02

Pope launched sainthood case for Argentine priests
Bergoglio, who had been close to Kelly and heard his confessions, formally approved the sainthood investigation in 2005.
"I am a witness, because I was with Alfie in his spiritual guidance, in his confession, until his death. He only thought of God. And I name him because I am a witness to his heart, and when I mention him I mention all of them," Bergoglio said in his memorial homily.
Normally, proof of two miracles are required for sainthood. But martyrdom - dying for one's faith - counts as the first miracle. A Vatican tribunal must eventually rule, and the pope makes the final decision.
"I have a lot of hope in this process," Bocca said, "because now the pope is someone who knows the cause, who lived in this country and who shared the commitment of the church."

Gear Review
tim h.
Many other, better options
I got this, thinking it would be a good idea to have a canister support. This unit has mediocre construction, but the bigger problem is that it doesn't fit all canisters. It has multiple slots, but there is just enough difference in canisters that not everything has a tight fit, and without a tight fit, it seems to defeat the purpose. The other problem is that the wider base can actually make it harder sometimes to find a flat surface, since you need a larger flat area to make it work. Overall, not a great design. It seems to me that a tripod-style support that allows changing the length or angle of the legs would enable many more cooking options. I've given up on manufacturer solutions in favor of do-it-yourself canister supports made from wooden clothespins -- cheap and work better on many more surfaces. You should also bring zip-ties (or velcro) and an extra couple of thin tent-stakes, so you can anchor your canister/stove to the ground for the ultimate in stability.
Dan Scotina
I have one made by Brunton that has more slots, is pretty sturdy and cheaper than $10.
Jerry Lewis
You have me intrigued with your clothespin/velcro/zip tie solution. Can you please give me some more info on that or maybe a photo or a link? Thanks. :)

Borders on TV
I have 4cm black frame on the screen.
Is it possible to make an overscan with the nvidia-drivers?
Thank you
The only thing you can use for overscanning is nvtv: http://www.sf.net/projects/nv-tv-out. It contains its own tvout stuff so you can't use the tvout stuff builtin into the drivers and it doesn't support all cards. (most gf4mx cards are unsupported)
The great pity about nvtv is that on a laptop it completely disables the laptop screen, and it requires a restart of the Xserver to get the laptop screen back.
I wish that there were more options in the driver to tweak these types of settings, I finally got the TV-out workign to my satisfaction, only to have a lack of fine control over the output on the television. Even simple brightness/contrast controls as in the Windows driver version.
A little list of things I would like to have:
variable overscan on the tv-out.
brightness/contrast controls on tv-out.
Anyone got any idea of the likelihood of these happening? Should the linux guys at Nvidia get in touch with the coders working on nvtv?

In 74021, the number of foreclosures waiting to be sold is 88.6% higher than in Rogers, and 8.6% less than the national average.

Re: Best small boat for cruising the Bahamas?

Since most likely I will be sailing solo, I have to keep that in mind as well... small is beautiful when you are alone. I'm used to camping in my 20 foot Mirage, on top of a layer of gear and supplies. Money is definitely an issue but I want a solid boat that is already in good shape when it comes to all the important components - it costs way too much money to re-do all of them. Much cheaper to buy a boat that already has what you need.
This boat caught my eye because it is on a trailer and I can store it at home inland until I'm ready for the big trip (in about 2 years).
Another question:
Would you think this CD26 is safe enough for the Mona Passage and a Caribbean cruise all the way? This is stage 2 of my long term plans.
I think just about any of the Cape Dory boats will take you anywhere you want to go. Our 27 has been at least as far as the BVIs and has made the Mona Passage, but she was at the hands of someone that was very experienced. Now she's in the hands of a few morons :P Any of the Cape Dory boats are capable, it's more a matter of your skill. You can search the CDSOA boards and find people that have made fairly significant passages in almost all the boats.
As for this 26, I'd feel rotten buying her in the shape she's in and letting her sit in the back yard for 2 years. That seems like a real shame, considering she's ready to sail as is. I know you said you didn't want a project, but why not spend less on the acquisition and outfit her the way you want across the 2 year period? It seems like a shame to take a seaworthy and ready boat out of the water for 2 years to sit, especially for that kind of $$. You may end up shelling out a little more $$ to fixup the project, but provided it's nothing serious, I doubt you'd be investing a lot more. Our CD27 has definitely been a project and we've paid more to get her up to shape than we could have if we bought one already in good condition, but we learned a LOT about the boat, have all new components in her, and know just about everything backwards and forwards about her components. I spent more doing it, but the experience was worth it. The benefit of this will probably vary on your experience level, though. I just hate to see a boat like that sitting
Given your requirements, I'd seriously consider a Flicka 20 as well, especially if it's just you.

The researchers' model uses mathematical models borrowed from engineering theory to translate the movement of storm waves into mechanical stresses on the coral in different parts of the reef, incorporates the various shapes of coral colonies and calculates whether they will be dislodged during extreme weather.
The research introduces a new concept ?colony shape factor (CSF) ?to translate the myriad shapes and sizes of coral colonies onto a simple scale that measures their vulnerability to dislodgment. Any severe event, like a cyclone, imposes a threshold that can be scored on the same scale, allowing scientists to determine which corals will live and which will die.
The most vulnerable corals are the table corals which have a broad flat top supported by a narrow stalk, making them more susceptible to strong wave forces than bushy or mounded corals. Vulnerability also depends on whether the coral grows on the front, crest, flat or the back of the reef, where the force of the waves progressively dies away.
The team ran a field test at Lizard Island, in the northern part of the Great Barrier Reef, taking digital photographs of corals, and calculating their vulnerability.
They found that the threshold imposed by the previous year's biggest storm predicted the pattern of coral sizes and shapes almost perfectly. "There were a lot of table corals present that went right up to the threshold from the last big storm, and then suddenly nothing above it," says Dr Connolly, a CoECRS researcher and Senior Lecturer at James Cook University. "They even followed the predicted trends from the reef crest to the reef back."<
