Racial slur leads to calls for teacher's firing
CUNNINGHAM -- A civil rights group has asked that a Montgomery Central High School drama teacher be fired for reportedly using a racial slur in front of black students and disciplining students based on race.
The Montgomery County School System has not released any plans to dismiss Reed Bergen from the school, about 45 miles northwest of Nashville, but said in a statement it "does not condone unfair treatment of any person based upon color, creed or religion."
The incident occurred when Bergen was having a discussion in his theater class related to a student's scriptwriting project. The student asked about the use of the "N-word" -- in his script. Bergen read the term aloud and said he believed the term would be considered offensive.
During a separate incident, the drama teacher was questioned by a black student about a discipline referral and whether Bergen was disciplining three black students based upon their race.
In a letter of reprimand from the school obtained by the center, school Principal Christy Houston wrote Bergen failed to guide a discussion that "led to the use of a racial term in the classroom."
She went on to write, "you also admitted to the student that in your self-reflection, your action of writing the discipline referral could have been in part based on his race."
AG eyes ethics reform
AG eyes ethics reform
LITTLE ROCK -- Atty. Gen. Dustin McDaniel said Monday he's looking at reform of Arkansas' ethics laws as part of his package of proposals when the legislature returns to the Capitol in 2009.
"We know that there are things left undone and we know the people of Arkansas want to see some ethics legislation passed," McDaniel told reporters at the state Capitol. "Arkansas already has some good laws on the books but we need to ensure that people know what money is being spent in an effort to influence or make contact with their elected officials."
McDaniel didn't mention any specific proposals, but said his package would be similar to legislation offered by House Speaker Benny Petrus in the legislative session earlier this year.
Petrus' proposal would have cut the maximum individual contributions to a candidate from $2,000 to $1,000. It would also prohibit contributions from two or more businesses sharing the same majority owner, and would require lobbyists to file detailed reports to the state when they spend money on legislators.
15 new West Nile cases
15 new West Nile cases
JACKSON -- Fifteen new human cases of the West Nile virus have been reported in Mississippi during the past week, the state Department of Health said Monday.
The new cases were in Adams, Coahoma, Copiah, Hinds, Jones, Lamar, Lauderdale, Madison, Neshoba, Rankin and Scott counties.
The department, which reports both confirmed and probable cases of the mosquito-transmitted virus, said the state's total of human cases this year is 100, with three resulting in death.
Symptoms of West Nile virus are often mild and may include fever, headache, nausea, vomiting, a rash, muscle weakness or swollen lymph nodes.

In other games, with 60 men, their were saviors amungs the group. That one PRiest that saved the day. That one warrior that took the bullet. The one mage that directed the adds...people had signifcant roles and did epic things. In identity less GW. "get as many spammers together. click, n leave". Exactly like the level 1-10 experience in the article XD

Your other attempts at debunking this review are similarly lacking in terms of *seeing the point*, but I have no desire to go throught them all.

Scarlet invasion were not that easy also with mobs ressing each other and so on. Orr temples and Balthazar especially are not that easy. I can go on and on but you didn't try that content so I'm just shaking the air for nothing.
Besides that if you spend 95% of your time standing in Queensdale like the OP it doesn't mean all do the same. Its you man, its just you.

if you want to replace all the asuran waypoints with asuran portals - go ahead and call their Concil but think twice before doing it because it might break your childish brain completly. I mean ~15 asuran portals per map... what a mess, portal wars 2 lol (but no immersion broken in process for the sole reason of pleasing mr. dimnikar)
So what is totaly wrong with such elegant decision for fast traveling? Why is it ok to click on skill bar and teleport back to the town but it is so wrong to click on the map to teleport to that very same town? Brain conflict occured?
Or do you enjoy flying a predetermined path on a griffin w/o ability to jump (excluding eq2) or move for lets say 5 minutes and then that griffin - poof - vanishes (swtor taxi vanishes, where the hell they hide all of these cars?! not to mention that griffin on rails sounds a bit weird). Thats surely not breaking immersion. Can go on and on again but what for.

First of all...Hi! I never post here...but have been lurking on this forum forever. This one I felt compelled to sign in and comment on for the 2nd time in probably a year.
Now, I don't play gw2. I was one of the wayyy too overhyped people who wanted this game to come out for years before it did. I wanted to have sex with gw2, figuratively...**see how I did that OP**
I stopped playing after about 4 months because it got kinda boring.
I can say... totally objectively that the reviewer was wrong on most points. Yeah the game can get boring...for some people...but it is quite enjoyable a lot of the time. I would love if there was more progression in the pvp... **I love WOW Arena** and am looking forward to Wildstar for this reason. I'm still going to play this game casually because it is fun to hop on every once in a while and play. It is definitely worth the box price. Most games go for 59.99 and you get 10-20 hours out of them. I'd say gw2 is a win in that regard.
That being said... does anyone else who stopped playing this game seriously a long time ago kinda want to play again after reading this review?
It was so bad that I found myself defending it and now I want to play. :)
Thanks OP.

So if you find that I defend gw2 too much its wrong. If the reviewer would invest some time and attention to the game he would find flaws (nothing is perfect of course). But... he didn't. And I wouldn't defend gw2 for real flaws. So this time its enough bullshit already. Everytime I read this dumb forum I see how "no1 is playing gw2, the game is dead, the servers are empty" and so on and on. But all of such shit is totaly wrong. Just login and see for yourself. They gave 10 days trial also so you could check how healthy the game is.
So if you wanna review - bring real pros/cons on the table.

I'm not quite sure what you mean by lazy design. GW2 was designed to remove mechanics that stopped you having fun playing the game. Obviously everyone's idea of fun is different. In some games you travel to a transportation hub and then possibly spend several minutes travelling on some form of transport before arriving at your destination. Some people enjoy this sense of immersion and the sense of scale this gives the world, others don't enjoy this and would rather be able to continue playing without being forced to wait 5 or 10 minutes. Neither group is right or wrong they just enjoy things differently. Those in the first group won't like the travel system in GW2 and those in the second group will.
Personally in GW2 I would have preferred having to travel from a waypoint to another waypoint, rather than teleporting from anywhere, and perhaps have them scattered around zones a bit less. However I don't miss sitting on a griffon for 10 minutes, twiddling my thumbs, whilst waiting to play with a friend who happens to be on the other side of the world to myself. Okay perhaps I miss the chance I had to go to the loo or make a coffee but sometimes it seemed that getting people together to do something fun ended up taking almost as long as the having fun part and that can't be right.

Well of course they make sense, since we don't have mounts, flight paths, etc.
They are a form of portals, as are the giant stargates...erm I mean Asuran gates. Besides, what doesn't make sense about them? If a race of grey-skinned Yodas who have the same catchphrase of Stan Lee can make a city out of levitating blocks, an army of robots, a shrink-ray, and a Star Trekian hologram room, making a set of waypoints that can let you teleport for a small fee makes perfect sense (it's called suspension of disbelief).
It's Asuran technology, and there is a rule about Asuran technology you must always follow: don't question it.

-1 week gameplay and they only screenshots are from Queensdale ...
-clunky camera compared to Rift, do you wanna also compare jump to see which one is the clunky one ?
-the combat review its totally false, with auto attack you dont go anywhere beyond lvl 3-5 areas ..
they only valid criticism is about
-the waypoints and the lost of immersion the reason is cause a game with mini of the Queen use as an excuse the waypoints in order to avoid mounts...
-the lack of GvG, but anyway you never seems you gone to any form pvp although both WvW and sPvP are available to you after the "tutorial" ...
This review has as much depth as Rift.

I only use RIFT as a base since it is the only other popular mmorpg that has a live world "event" thing if you will. So the trolls that take that out of context to support (in a failed attempt) this title are obviously, trolls.
The other arguements about camera, jump etc...super small points. I even point out. Coming from all other mmorpgs (not just RIFT), there was something off about the camera. In fact, in this very website MMORPRG dot COM, go to the GW2 forums and head back in time to both CB and OB. There are numerious complaints about the wonky camera. It is in several other sites and video reviews of the game.
Also, you can not avoid the FACTS I produce. Look at my screen of that epic first boss fight. That is MAX ZOOM. Knowing I could not die there, I sat there experimenting with the camera angles etc....nope...That is max zoom The camera is wonky. FACT. I also note (which most troll eyes avoid), that it is not game breaking but just different enough to note. As an extra point, it is like Kingdom of Hearts... DAT camera....but that did not stop us from fully exploring all it's puzzles, the jumps and all...
I can go, but the best part is the fan boi community, I remember the battles on this very web site of CB, so many people had not touched it yet defended it with their lives! YES THEIR SOULS! Willing to sell their mothers for a copy and defend this game to the end and watch WoW fall in a fire of quitters running to GW2....yeah...that turned out well....those poor motherless kids now XD XD

This is like the standard thing to say about any game ppl on this forum don't like. Every game out there is dead and no one plays it....yet year after year the game keeps going, keeps getting new content and often the company running the game works on part II or another mmo.....all with apparently no one playing their failed dead games.
Here you don't need facts to be right, you just have to find some other dumbass to agree with you.

And aside from that it is a poor comparison. Actually taking that into account it is still a poor comparison, as the live world events are very different from the two. Rifts are always "run to this spot, kill x of mob a, kill y of mob b, kill boss". That's it. Guild Wars 2 events are much more varied, including "kill boss", "collect x of item a", "defend npc from enemies while traveling", and "retake a position from enemy mobs". So, yea, it kinda is out of context

Yes, everyone hates the camera. We get it already.

Yes, we are fan bois, because all of us who pointed out the flaws in your "review" feel that GW2 is the second coming of Jesus.
Except that everyone who pointed out the flaws of your "review" does not think that GW2 is the second coming of Jesus. Sure they ranged from "yes I love GW2 and think it is perhaps the best MMO out currently and here is why your review is wrong", to "I do not like GW2 and haven't played it ina while but here is why your review is wrong", but I do not remember reading a single comment that was explicetly from a "fan boi".
We are not fan bois; you're just being a hater (again mods and everyone this is not meant as an attack, or at least more of an attack than the calling of us people who claimed that he is wrong to be "fan bois"). Your belief that everyone who disagrees with you must be a fanboi for reasons you do not disclose is proof of this.

2006 Dodge Charger Q&A
2006 Dodge Charger Question: I replaced the starter relay & it still wont start no turn over only clicks
battery is being drained before I changed the starter relay. I tried to jump start & still only clicks doesn't turn over? what am I missing? - anthonydiaz
Answer 1
Anthony; First wear safety glasses. Insure battery is fully charged and providing proper voltage. Check the battery cables [clean and secure if needed]. A loose connection at the battery or starter can cause this problem. Also check ground connections at engine and body/chassis. A bad starter or stater solenoid can cause this problem. Have an assistant work the key while you monitor the starter/starter solenoid. BE CAREFUL - THINK BEFORE YOU DO. WATCH OUT FOR MOVING PARTS. Because there is a clicking noise I would NOT suspect an alarm system issue. - mdeautomotive

New Red Wings Hockey Arena to Receive Tax Dollars Despite City Being Bankrupt, Concerns About Basic Services
Originally written on NESN.com | Last updated 7/25/13
LANSING, Mich. — A state board unanimously gave the go-ahead Wednesday for a new Red Wings hockey arena in downtown Detroit to be paid for in part with $284 million in tax dollars even as the broke city works through bankruptcy proceedings. Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder and others defended against criticism that the $650 million project should be financed entirely with private money because the city currently can't provide basic services and retirees are facing cuts in their pensions. The 18,000-seat arena is designed to be a catalyst for more development and to link downtown and midtown, turning a blighted area into a business, residential and entertainment district. "This is part of investing in Detroit's future," said Snyder, a Republican who blessed a state-appointed emergency manager's request to take the city into bankruptcy last week. "That's the message we need to get across. … As we stabilize the city government's finances, as we address those issues and improve services, Detroit moves from a place where people might have had a negative impression — although there are great things already going on — to being a place that will be recognized across the world as a place of great value and a place to invest." The Michigan Strategic Fund Board approved the Detroit Downtown Development Authority's request to use economic development taxes for the project. The board also took a preliminary step toward issuing $450 million in bonds to build the arena, to be paid off in no more than 30 years by the Red Wings' owner and the city. Red Wings owner Mike Ilitch has long wanted a replacement for the 32-year-old Joe Louis Arena located a few miles away. The new complex would be close to the Lions' Ford Field and Tigers' Comerica Park near Interstate 75 and Woodward Avenue. Under the plan, the authority would own the arena and event center complex. The Red Wings' owner would have exclusive rights to use, manage and operate it, and hold naming rights. No new taxes or funds from the cash-strapped city would be needed. The state Legislature last year approved a bill to help finance the project by allowing the use of tax dollars collected by the downtown development authority. Senate Democratic leader Gretchen Whitmer, an East Lansing Democrat, opposed the measure as a drain on funding for Detroit's public schools. "Now that the city's actually in bankruptcy, those concerns are even more justified at this point," spokesman Bob McCann said Wednesday. "We're all supportive of new development in Detroit. But it's difficult to tell the residents of the city that this is more important than public safety or street lights." Snyder argued the project will increase the city's tax base in the long run and create jobs. Fifty-six percent of the overall project cost would be private and 44 percent public, though about 60 percent of the actual $450 million arena cost would come from tax revenues. Another $200 million — all but $23 million of it private — is planned for projects nearby that could include rehabbing existing buildings and vacant lots for a hotel, stores, parking deck and residential units. Olympia Development, owned by Ilitch and his wife, said the funding split for comparable major sports complexes in other cities in the past decade has averaged 75 percent public and 25 percent private. Construction of the arena is anticipated to be done by 2017. It's also expected to host other entertainment events. No design has been made public. Representatives for Olympia Development said the project will create 400 more permanent jobs and 5,500 construction jobs. At least half the construction jobs must go to city residents.

Having read this thread, I think you just need to get out there and go on some dates. I think you are really overthinking things.
After all, even if you were widowed and back in the dating game after a 30-year marriage, dating would still be different than it was for you 30 years ago. You would not be able to offer the same lifetime-partnership-and-kids even if you were single right now--just because of your age. I assume you are in your 50s or 60s?
So women in your age range, regardless of poly-ness, are not going to be looking for the same thing they were looking for 30 years ago. They will be at a different point in their lives, as are you.
Thanks Meera.
I am not sure about some of the gift-giving limitations, women so love to show off baubles offered by admirers. But I know this, and wouldn't want to disappoint such a lovely partner.
As to your comment about respective partners, point well taken. But, should such a fantasy come even remotely true, I would long have introduced the woman to my wife, and there is a good chance they would have become good friends. Not in a bi way, that's not part of the package. As for me getting to know the lady's SOs, even I fail at being able to imagine how I would react to the hypothetical boyfriend/husband of a hypothetical girlfriend.
And I am getting out there in the real world, and even being on this Board I am getting out there. Anyone from the Lower Mainland reading this? Oh, I will consider the US Pacific NW, I have always wanted to visit Powell's.
Or Hungarians from anywhere. We can always have a rendez-vous in front of the old (now non-existent) National Theatre in Budapest (next time I go there), where the no.6 tram stops [a Hungarian in-joke].
Does it have to be my age-range though? I so had my heart set on a mature 30-year old!

Session Ending Legislation – it is not all about the Rent!

Restoring Justice in New York's Criminal Justice System
As the end of session comes to a close (slowly I may add), the Assembly passed a series of bills to reform New York's criminal justice system. The legislation addresses issues at each level of the process, from grand jury transparency to an individual's release from prison, in an effort to ensure those who encounter the […] [Read More]
Combating Campus Sexual Assault across New York
Last night we passed legislation requiring all New York colleges to implement uniform policies and procedures regarding sexual assault, dating violence, domestic violence, stalking and activity that may otherwise violate codes of conduct (A.8244). The same bill also passed in the Senate and is on it's way to Governor Cuomo for it's signature. Sexual assault on […] [Read More]
Assembly Passes Pension Forfeiture Bill
This week we passed legislation to restore integrity in government by ensuring public officers convicted of corruption do not receive taxpayer-funded pensions (A.7704). As we all know, public officers are elected by the people and therefore should always work for the people, never for themselves. Those who violate the laws they are sworn to uphold should face the […] [Read More]

What will be the final package of bills is yet […] [Read More]
Lyme Disease Season is upon us
Here in New York State and throughout the Capital Region, we're lucky to have access to beautiful landscapes and local parks such as Peebles Island State Park and Thatcher Park that showcase a variety of natural wonders.

CARE ACT – An act to help patients and those who care
Yesterday we passed in the NYS Assembly the Caregiver Advise, Record and Enable (CARE) Act, which would require hospitals to provide caregivers with the information, instruction and training necessary to meet the needs of patients after they are discharged (A.1323-B). The bill was passed by the NYS Senate a week ago and therefore will be […] [Read More]
Tax Cap – Should it stay or should it go?
One of the many items that will be discussed in the remaining month of the legislative session is the Property Tax Cap that was passed over three years ago. At the time it was passed, I was Mayor of Cohoes and I had my concerns about what it would accomplish. The idea made sense however […] [Read More]

The Atlanta Falcons finally played a stinker of a game. They don't want it to become a habit. Mindful of how important it is to go into the playoffs with momentum, the Falcons reported to their training complex Monday to begin assessing what went wrong in their worst performance of the season. Atlanta (11-2) lost to division rival Carolina 30-20 in a game that wasn't really that close. The Panthers raced to a 23-0 lead and were never seriously challenged. Now, after taking 24 hours to review their shoddy performance, the Falcons must get set to host the defending Super Bowl champs on Sunday. The New York Giants (8-5) are clinging to first in the NFC East and desperate for a win to stay in front of Washington and Dallas.

The two big bass caught yesterday (tied at 5 pounds, 3 ounces) by Terry Butcher and Todd Faircloth were the largest ever weighed in at a B.A.S.S. event on this stretch of the Mississippi River. Lunkers are not part of the mix here, and that makes it tough to make a big jump up in the standings.
Matt Herren has three smallies and one largemouth in the livewell, going for about 11 pounds.
Aaron Martens was hoping to put the hammer to the fish that he backed off at 9 a.m. yesterday, but the fish aren't cooperating. He's still seeing some bass there on his sonar, but not like they were yesterday. And the ones still there aren't biting like they were yesterday. So Martens has made a short move back toward the launch site. I could swim to my hotel room from here. He caught one short fish upon arrival. He's still holding about 12 pounds in his livewell.
We're back on the water and it didn't take us long to find someone as we came across Davy Hite fishing a railroad bridge about 5 minutes from the takeoff point. He's throwing a swimbait and counting it down before slowly swimming it around the concrete pilings. He's got a limit but wouldn't say how much it weighs.
Terry Butcher makes an upgrade as he flips a solid bass into the boat.
Take the time to do what you love, with those you love.
We just caught up with Matt Herren. He's fishing the back waters by Goose Island. He's fishing current, right up against the bank and has two in his livewell. We just watched him get a big bite from a pike. It broke his line off about six inches above the bait. Pike have teeth, you know!
After watching Stephen Browning catch a couple more small keepers and a short that he pitched back into the river, we are heading in so B.A.S.S. photographer Darren Jacobson can upload the morning photo gallery. Check it out; there will be some great action shots from Day 2 leader Todd Fairtcloth and several other anglers. We'll be back on the water and blogging ASAP!
With Todd Faircloth only 12 ounces ahead of Terry Butcher, we'll see if he can hold onto the No. 1 spot as the anglers head out on the water for Day Three of the Mississippi River Rumble.
Michael Simonton has some some early morning action on Day 3 as a Mississippi River largemouth bass thrashes on the surface. Simonton's Marshal, Tracy Skare, sent in this photo from the water just now.

I'm sure Bob will personally reimburse you for your groupon, or at the very least give you a social media consultation credit.
If you can't make it there by the time they close up for good, you just contact Groupon and they will reimburse you the full amount you put in. That's what happened to us when Crisp on Brady closed before we were able to get over there
Midwest, go and use them at the Wine Dinner on the 28th!

They should have a more open, welcoming space, though.
I think that they should move downtown so that the lunch rush would be better.

Short Circuit 2 is an American 1988 comic science fiction film, the sequel to 1986's film Short Circuit. It was directed by Kenneth Johnson, and starred Fisher Stevens as Ben Jahveri,[2] Michael McKean as Fred Ritter, Cynthia Gibb as Sandy Banatoni, and Tim Blaney as the voice of Johnny 5 (the main character – a friendly, naive, self-aware robot). Filming for this film took place in downtown Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
Benjamin Jahrvi (Fisher Stevens), is peddling sophisticated toy robots that he makes himself by hand on the street corners of New York City. One robot wanders away from his stand and by chance makes its way into the office of Sandy Banatoni (Cynthia Gibb), a scout for a major toy company. Sandy tracks Ben down and orders 1,000 of his toys. Overhearing this offer is con artist Fred Ritter (Michael McKean), who smooth-talks his way into becoming Ben's business partner in the deal and later acquires the funding Ben needs to get his assembly line started from a loan shark.
Ben & Fred move into a derelict warehouse which is revealed to be the base of operations for a pair of thieves who are tunneling into a bank vault across the street to steal a set of jewels known as the Vanderveer Collection. The thieves attack Ben and Fred, scare off their hired workers and destroy their equipment, preventing them from completing Sandy's order. However, Ben's friends Stephanie and Newton have sent Ben Johnny 5, a human-sized sentient robot whom Ben helped to create and whom his toys are based upon. Johnny is able to build the toys rapidly, allowing Ben to study for his U.S. citizenship test.
Considering Johnny's thirst for data, Fred is sworn not to reveal their location to Johnny, believing that the robot would become over-excited as he has only ever know a life in the quiet countryside. However, Fred accidentally reveals their location and Johnny leaves the warehouse to explore the city. He has many misadventures and runs afoul of many New Yorkers, who are rude and unfriendly towards him. However, he befriends one man, Oscar Baldwin (Jack Weston), who happens to work at the bank across the street from Ben & Fred's warehouse.
Fred, having learned that Johnny is worth $11,002,076.17, tries to sell the robot to a few businessmen. Upon discovering this, Johnny escapes into the city, where, after more misadventures, he is eventually taken into custody by the police for being a public nuisance. Johnny is retrieved by Ben from the police's stolen-goods warehouse, where-after Johnny encourages Ben to court Sandy.
With time running out before the Vanderveer Collection is moved from the bank, the thieves lock Ben and Fred in the freezer of a Chinese restaurant. It is revealed that Oscar is actually the mastermind of the heist. With Ben and Fred out of the way, Oscar is able to trick Johnny into finishing the tunnel leading to the vault, which he is able to do at fantastic speed. Ben and Fred manage to get Sandy to come and save them, using polyphonic renditions of songs that Ben learned on his date with her as clues to their location. Having discovered the Vanderveer Collection, Johnny deduces Oscar's true intentions but is pursued and attacked by the thieves. Johnny is able to scare the thieves away with remote controlled planes, but not before they severely damage him, leaving him with only 2 hours of emergency power in which he must receive life-saving repairs.
Sandy locates and releases Ben and Fred and shortly after, Ben and Sandy are arrested by the police for the robbery. They are then later released by the 2 police officers who found Johnny earlier after they discover who the real robber is. After a long search, Fred, who managed to escape from the police, finds Johnny in an alley. As Johnny's remaining power reserve won't last long enough for Fred to retrieve Ben, Fred, despite his lack of technical knowledge, must attempt to repair Johnny himself, which he does under Johnny's guidance. Enraged upon learning that the criminals tried to destroy him, whilst Ben and Fred were simply locked away, Johnny vows revenge stating "Sure, kidnap the humans, destroy the machine!"
Johnny then proceeds to track and locate Oscar and traps his accomplices. However, Oscar himself flees and steals a boat. Johnny, now even more enraged, uses a dockside crane to capture Oscar, who is caught and deprived of the stolen collection. Johnny's main power supply, which was damaged in the earlier attack by Oscar's thugs but later partially repaired by Fred has now run dry. Ben arrives just as Johnny appears to shut down (die), but is able to keep Johnny alive using the power of a defibrillator he steals from a paramedic.
Later scenes show Johnny as a celebrity and Sandy, Ben, and Fred establishing a large business in his image, presumably to mass-manufacture Ben's toys. The film concludes with Ben and Johnny, now fully repaired and gold-plated, becoming US citizens. Asked about his new status by reporters, Johnny enthusiastically jumps into the air, shouting that he feels "alive!".

The film received mostly mixed reviews at the time of release. It is rated 38% on Rotten Tomatoes.[3] The NY Times Vincent Canby gave it a negative review. He wrote "For anyone over the age of 6, the film is as much fun as wearing wet sneakers." [4] Rita Kempley of the The Washington Post gave a mixed to positive review (6/10) with qualifiers saying "Short Circuit 2" is unabashedly mawkish and sophomoric, and the actors support the technology. But if you're a kid, or an adult with an Erector Set, you might just enjoy this summer-weight caper.[5] Most of the positive reviews in fact were nice but accepting of the film's obvious flaws. Variety added "Mild and meek, Short Circuit 2 has an uncomplicated sweetness as a successful followup to the original robot kiddie comedy."[6] Siskel & Ebert, having disliked the first film, gave the film "two thumbs up" and called the film "even better than the original."[7] In a 1988 Los Angeles Times article, the review noted that "Wilson and Maddock have improved considerably here....Their construction is more deft, their dialogue is better, and they make Number Five come more alive..."[8]
At the boxoffice, Short Circuit 2 disappointed, landing in 7th place on its first weekend making only $3,843,067. It went on to finish with $21,630,088. That was down almost half of what the first Short Circuit made. It ranked 45th at the U.S. Box office for 1988. [9]
Paul Barber of the Courier-Journal stated that "The movie had the same aurora of the original, but none of the magic that Steve Guttenburg brought which really hurt the overall movie." [10]
Awards and nominations[edit]

That Sonam Kapoor was once overweight is a fact well-known. She says when the stress of her weight began to reflect on her health, she became determined to shed the excess kilos.
Now counted as a style diva in the country's fashion circles, Sonam opened up about her weight problems to BIG RJ Karisma Kapur during the latter's BIG On Style segment on 92.7 BIG FM's afternoon women's show BIG Memsaab.
It was when she was 16 that she decided to work towards a healthy lifestyle of regular workouts, yoga and figure-friendly food. Thus started her journey to become the fashion icon she is today.
Clearly, one wonders whether Sonam has come to truly believe in the motto - Health is wealth.

Rogue Wrist Band is rated out of 5 by 2.
Rated 2 out of 5 by Anonymous from One wrist band? Really? Decided to pick up a pair to cut down on sweat build up on the bar after a high volume hang clean day. $5.85 sounded decent for a piece of elastic cloth with a logo on it. Turns out I'm an idiot and that's the price per Single wrist band, order 2 if you want a set. Guess I'll head to a thrift store and buy a set of my little pony wristbands and throw one of them away.

Providing an Immersive Gaming Experience Using Wireless Low-Latency Coded Audio Streaming
Modern gaming environments contain numerous peripheral devices that enhance the gaming experience by streaming audio in real time to and from the principal gaming platform. Such peripherals include hi-fi equipment, surround speaker systems, specialist gaming headsets and specialist game controllers. Gamers are increasingly demanding the convenience of wireless communications between these devices, without compromising audio quality or significantly adding a sense of delay or lack of synchronisation to the gameplay. This paper discusses how Bluetooth communications technology, coupled with appropriate audio coding and processing techniques, may be configured and deployed to satisfy these stringent demands. Furthermore, the additional advantages of Bluetooth integration throughout the gaming ecosystem are described.

Takedown Twenty
by Janet Evanovich
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Same old - same old. Stephanie sets building on fire - check. Stephanie's car stole and/or destroyed - check to both. Stephanie tries to quit bounty hunter job - check. Stephanie can't commit to Morelli or Ranger - check. The whole Grandma Mazer craziness was not especially funny or entertaining this time. The best moments were supplied by Lula as usual but even she is getting on my nerves (a giraffe? - give me a break).
Another fun installment. Read it over Christmas in 2 days.
this is such a funny series. so easy to read.
I have read all 20 books in Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum series. When it comes to this crew, I always buy the audio, as Lorelei King is outstanding! Just to hear Stephanie, Lulu, Joe, Ranger, Viney, and Grandma Mazur -----a story in itself! The characters always leave you laughing no matter if you are jogging or working – they are a riot!! Lulu is my favorite – and hope there will be another movie!
As usual, Stephanie is staking out a mob guy "Uncle Sonny" – breaking her finger, thrown off a bridge, senior moments, and all the things which happen being a bounty hunter. As long as Stephanie can get chicken and donuts…. The book was hilarious, entertaining, and hope it never ends (if it does make sure and give Joe and Stephanie a happily ever after) and use Lulu for another series as she is just too funny to retire. (Good job with the one liners, Janet)… I have enjoyed the Plum Series more than some of the other series.
Pretty much the same old formula from books 1-19 but I guess that's why we keep reading. It was great to visit once again with Stephanie, Lula, Grandma, Morelli, Ranger..... and the whole gang! The giraffe was new.......

(retrieved from Amazon Thu, 12 Mar 2015 18:12:02 -0400)
New Jersey bounty hunter Stephanie Plum knows better than to mess with family. But when powerful mobster Salvatore "Uncle Sunny" Sunucchi goes on the lam in Trenton, it's up to Stephanie to find him. Uncle Sunny is charged with murder for running over a guy (twice), and nobody wants to turn him in--not his poker buddies, not his bimbo girlfriend, not his two right-hand men, Shorty and Moe. Even Trenton's hottest cop, Joe Morelli, has skin in the game, because "just Stephanie's luck" the godfather is his actual godfather. And while Morelli understands that the law is the law, his old-world grandmother, Bella, is doing everything she can to throw Stephanie off the trail.… (more)

Beloit International Film Fest to screen films year-round
Online Staff Report
BELOIT, Wis. — The Beloit International Film Festival (BIFF), in partnership with Bushel and Peck's Local Market in Beloit, Wis., and the Lincoln-Tallman House in Janesville, Wis., will bring independent films to the stateline area throughout the year. The new BIFF Year-Round program will bring audiences to downtown Beloit and to one of Rock County's premiere historic sites.
"Our audience has been asking for more BIFF independent films during the year, and we are happy to oblige," said BIFF Executive Director Roddie Beaudoin. "The great response to some of the films presented at this year's film festival in February prompted us to add extra showings of some of the more popular films. Even then, many who couldn't get in asked if we could show the films again during the year. And for the past few years, the Florida 'snowbirds' have been asking for repeat showings of the films that their frozen friends have been raving about."
Jackie Gennet, owner of Bushel and Peck's, said: "We're thrilled to be expanding our partnership with BIFF and to present films throughout the year in our new state-of-the-art screening room. Bushel and Peck's is all about bringing people together, and one of the great ways to do that is with a meal and a movie. Now, we will have both on a regular basis."
BIFF Year-Round premiered May 5 at Bushel and Peck's with a screening of the 2012 winner of both Best Feature Film and Best Screenplay awards, Lutefisk Wars.
The BIFF Year-Round season in Janesville, Wis., kicks off June 16 with a screening of the 2012 Power of Film Award Winner, Forgotten Soldiers. This will be part of the Lincoln-Tallman House program called "World War II, Living History."
Future dates will include a presentation of one of BIFF's great horror films from the archives following the Oak Hill Cemetery tour in Janesville, Wis., from 1 to 4 p.m., Oct. 6. Nov. 24, the Lincoln-Tallman House will present "A Civil War Holiday" event from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. and following the program will show the popular BIFF independent film from two years ago, Love & Valor: The Intimate Civil War Letters. For more about tickets and times, call the Tallman House Historic Campus at (608) 756-4509 or go to their website at www.rchs.us/lincoln-tallman-house/.

Cool Places & Food in Marrakech
The restaurant has two terraces where you can enjoy your food with a nice view of Jeema El Fna, the large square in the Medina. A main course costs 40-60 dirhams which is really inexpensive, especially for the location. They have traditional moroccan dishes on the menu (tajins, couscous, and meat skewers) as well as pizzas and spaghetti. We tried...
Very good day out. My boys had a fantastic time. Nice and clean. Good food. Plenty of shade to sit in
At the heart of the Square in the Medina, this beautiful place has kind service, honest, well prepared, good portions traditional moroccan food at very good prices, from a tajine, a cous cous or a tuna sandwich ( with Moroccan bread is just perfect). I recommend going late so you can see the horses trotting through the quite and empty...
We ate a snack lunch here and were pleasantly surprised. A clear view of the Koutoubia across the square from the upper terrace. Service was friendly and food was "clean". Hamburger and chips 50dh, veggie panini and chips 40dh, Cola and banana juice each 20dh.
Went there for lunch as the location looks very appealing but the food was very disappointed. We ordered a tomato / mozzarella sandwich and a chicken one. Very greasy and the chicken was battered rather than breast. I don't do fast food and thought to have been given a morrocan style one. Not for us...
If you are looking for a reasonably priced eaterie on the jma el fna then look no further. This place is owned by an Italian and this is reflected in the great pizza and tasty sandwiches on offer. There is a selection of Moroccan food as well.
We ate three times there - we had some bad experiences and were...
We were accosted by a guy in the street and don't normally take any notice, but we enjoyed our meal here and were glad we listened to his patter.
A guitarist was playing as we ate, which was a good touch, but smokers on the balcony spoilt things for those non-smokers eating outside. Such a shame. (Glad we were inside...
Location is excellent but that is as far as it goes. We ordered the tag one and it was so tasteless that neither my friend nor I ate even half.
They also promise wifi upon arrival but it doesn't work.
Would never go back here.
We chose to eat at Aqua so we could sit and watch the madness of the main square at night and if you don't care about food then Aqua serves this purpose well. The pizzas we had however were poor, tasting like cheap frozen pizza. Staff who served us varied from abrupt to polite but one in particular told us...

Since 1971 Clock Parts has been a supplier and manufacturer of clock mechanisms, clock inserts and clock dials. Our specialty in clock movements and motors coupled with clock hands bring our customers the highest quality, advanced technology and affordable pricing.
As a family owned private company located in Culver City, California, Clock Parts has maintained a tradition of excellent customer service and quality components. Our quality is a result 40 plus years of experience.
This experience has guided us in the designing and engineering of all of our clock components. Our customers look to us to bring to them new and inventive clock parts that made their clock projects stand out.
Our Auto Set movement is an example of this type of innovative approach. This movement has eliminated the need for atomic motors. One reason high torque atomic motors were used was because they automatically adjusted for the spring and fall time changes.
The problem with the atomic movements was their reliability to receive the spring and fall time changes and make the proper time adjustment. Atomic movements reliability has always been an issue for clock makers. Our auto set motor solved this problem.
This motor allows our customers to build clocks that can be placed anywhere without the worry of the clock's ability to receive the time broadcast.
