Oh and beside watching TV series, I'm also very happy that the NBA playoffs are about to begin.
I really loved Game of Thrones, The Vampire Diaries and Once Upon a Time. Arrow afterwards was the best TV show I could ask for and now I'm near the end of season 3 of the Walking Dead, another great TV show. I also enjoy watching Anger Management and Two and a Half Men still and of course Family Guy. It would be nice if anyone else can add anything else that I could be missing :) Oh and yea I did watch some of the new Sherlock Holmes series as well as the new Hannibal series, which are good as well.

There really isn't any decent MMORPG right now. Everyone tries to be WOW, and doesn't innovate. I'm looking forward to Everquest Next. And I miss the Asheron's Call that was before Asheron's Call 2 killed the player base.

Never say never. Look at Richard Garrot.
All told, Shroud will probably cost around $5 million. Something to the order of $5 million - plus or minus $2 million. That, incidentally, is how much Ultima Online cost to make ($5-6 million). "Tabula Rasa," was $10-20 million, something around there and failed big.
$ has influence of a games success, but not that kind you are trying to make the community to believe for all of the things I stated above.

However, arguing those points is basically an argument in semantics, as it doesn't really get us anywhere.
I personally don't feel there is a crisis. I am happily engaged in GW2 with a large guild who participates in all aspects of the game equally and plays to the games fullest potential. GW2 isn't a perfect game by any means, but then what is the perfect game?
Where your perception of a crisis might come from is that the mmo genre is in a weird point of change and stagnation. This also happened right before WoW came out in 2004. At that point, nearly every mmo was based around grouping only mechanics, and standing around attempting to form groups for hours was the norm. WoW came out and changed how we looked at the genre, and how developers looked at the genre. Now we're at a point where soloability is king almost to the exclusion of grouping mechanics. You have gaming populations that consist of soloers or small groupers who don't really feel the need to be part of a group. In other words, we've gone from one extreme to another. GW2 made some small steps with the ad hoc grouping mechanics where you can just be around others and the game thinks of you in a group of sorts. Then we have games on the horizon like ESO that seem to be following a similar path as GW2, but keeping more of the classic mmo mechanics as well. Then we have games like Wildstar which are seemingly attempting to create a more vanilla WoW style game, but updated for todays market. Not to mention the numerous kickstarter games that are in development which are trying some interesting things as well.
What we are waiting on is the next "WoW", a game that makes enough changes for the game to be different, but not so many changes as to make the game unrecognizable. It's quite possible that the mmo genre will go into a period of severe stagnation before the next big change comes on a regular basis. It's happened at least twice now in the short period that graphical MUDs (mmos) have been in existence. We will most likely have the next "big game" come out soon enough, and probably from an unlikely source, and the genre will make a shift, and a few years down the line, we will be having a similar discussion.

I'm not feeling any "crisis" because I don't depend on a videogame. Sorry to hear you're having a crisis however, and I honestly hope you manage to work your way through it.

I wouldn't say crisis either. Its more like a stagnation in good mmo's. Espacialy the RPG genre. WoW I think has worn out a lot of people who played this kind of game over a long period of time. That is why we are seeing flat line or plateau in game development in this for a while now till recently.
To anwser the question "What am I doing to handle this crisis?"
I'm actually playing more then one game right now. Before I would just focus on one game. Now if I get bored playing one game I switch to another an play it for a little while till I get bored again and switch to another I feel like playing. That is all I can do now beside watching anime/TV when I'm just sick on gamming altogether.

I voted that I'm very happy because I have 2 games I'm playing now (Darkfall and Defiance) that I'm very happy with. There are a couple of other games I would play if I had time, and a couple more that I would try. In my book, I'm glad I have options. In addition to what's available now, there are a few interesting new games coming out in the near future that I would like to try as well.

1. Multiplayer means multiplayer. MMO means massively multiplayer. It's a big distinction. Say what you mean.
2. We are so far from a multiplayer crisis, the title is laughable. Multiplayer is more prevalent than ever, and MMOs continue to be common.
3. Some have questioned whether MMORPGs are RPGs. Those players apparently didn't play every other videogame RPG ever released, or they'd understand videogame RPGs are about character progression, storyline, and a twitch-lite combat system. I don't know of any game which labels itself "MMORPG" which doesn't fit that description, and modern MMORPGs certainly do story better than early ones did.
4. Being older doesn't mean you stop liking games and start liking worlds. For most people, as adults our time is more valuable than ever which means we don't want to throw it away with meaningless downtime when we could be spending it doing something fun. Although for me there was never really a time I was accepting of my time being wasted -- if there was it was only because I didn't know better at the time.
5. Companies do acknowledge that what's good sells. This comes in two forms: (a) companies try to make high-quality games (they don't always succeed,) and (b) companies pursue the genres and sub-genres which are most successful.
Lastly, if there's a crisis at hand it's mostly that companies have frequently copied the skin-deep featureset of WOW without really copying the design philosophy which resulted in WOW's success: cut away the fat and deliver fun gameplay. Some companies have come quite close (Rift imo), while most fail (which is to be expected: 80% of everything is crap.)

But twitch-like combat systems are not a definition of an RPG. I would claim that the absense of such a system would be the definition, but many rpg games, more and more over time, have just such a system.
RPGs started out with turn based system, but since MMOs they have replaced that with a cooldown system or similar.
As for story telling.... Well modern MMORPGs certainly have way more focus on telling stories to the players. Most of it is ignored... or are you telling me that I am the only one that ignores the majority of quest text and lore that is in these modern MMOs? To me it gets in the way of MY story. And that is what I miss from the earlier MMOs.. that I was creating a story within the game.
I happen to like the old style better. As a bonus it is also cheaper to make... As long as the game concept is sound to begin with.

Who said anything about me having a crisis? I'm having a blast as usual, but on the other hand you seem to be having a crisis coprehending a simple question.
"How are you handling the "multiplayer crisis"? it doesn't ask:
"Are you going through crisis with the current state of MMO's?"
To make it as simple as 2+2 for you so hopefully you don't confuse yourself again:
MMO's are going through crisis not I. That's mostly evident in their longevity, complexity and most important the size of the playerbase they are able to attract and keep in the longterm.
Notice how the MMO trend been going these days. Advertise, launch your typical, rushed out, cheap and simple to make themepark B2P/P2P model. Offer some lifetime deals as well then turn it to F2P in next 6 months to a year then milk it as much as possible and abandon it.
The "abandon ship" phase is mostly evident in the timeframe of future updates/content delivered.
Example: Company delivers a MMO, 50% of its earnings go to someone elses pockets (due to greed obviosly and not caring for the game), rest 50% to all other remaining costs for future maintenance and development.
Company loses 50% of the playerbase less than a year = 50% less updates/content to expect afterwards. No content/updates in a themepark designed MMO = abandon ship.
I on the other hand was fortunate that for the last 2 years, 3 months and 8 days saved more $ than I could possibly imagine, thx to the lack of appeal from any new MMO that came out with similiar formulas and I still had a great time either playing something older or doing other activities.
Experience does pay off and the last thing you want is to make yourself believe that I depend on a video game to avoid crisis.I can bet on my life that in those last 2 years, 3 months and 8 days you shelled out $ from your wallet on a new MMO, which makes you more dependant individual who's going through more MMO crisis than I ever did.

GW2 socialist.
I was playing Dragon Nest for a few weeks with a friend of mine, and the multiplayer rules in that game since you don't have to have a group of more than two people for quite some time and can do Hard and Master with two people. Unfortunately, DN is also a Nexon game, meaning that the cash shop is stupid and holds you back, not to mention it has the worst idea in cash shops EVER - time limit items, ones you pay more than a few cents for, that's for sure.
I digress. The game could be better, but the problem I see with most games nowadays is that there's no real multiplayer scaling. GW2 tries, but even with just two people, the mobs are too easy...
What I'd like is a game like WoW that allowed you to invite people to your server and for every friend that joins (up to a max of 6 or 8 I'd say), the game gets harder and the rewards get better (if you're in the same area). I know, that's what MMO's are for, but I'm talking about when you don't want to be social with tons of people and just play with a few. You could still have epic content, but without trying to get 25 people to work together.

If quest-text-blocks were the only form of story which existed in MMORPGs, you could claim to ignore it. But the storyline weaves throughout most of the game: from the quest-text to the quest actions to the NPC behaviors to the world itself (if well-crafted, a world itself tells little story snippets to players,) to player stories completely separate from the game story.
You'd have to be impressively anti-story (anti-RPG) to completely block out every ounce of story that's poured into MMORPGs, and I think you could probably only be successful at it in early MMORPGs.

Well, to start with, I'm not experiencing a crisis. I am playing a lot of Minecraft Feed the Beast mod, in between playing The Secret World, Bioshock Infinite and Don't Starve. My problem isn't that there's nothing to play, my problem is that I don't have enough time to play everything I want to play.

Hostelworld "meet the world" by Lucky Generals
Rating: 5.0
By Sarah Shearman, marketingmagazine.co.uk, Friday, 09 November 2012 10:45AM
Groupon's share price to plummeted by 17% in after hours trading to reach a record low of $3.23, down sharply from its initial public offering price of $28 when it listed in November last year.
The four year old daily deals site's revenue for the quarter ended 30 September was up 32% year-on-year to $568.6m (£356.5m), compared with $430.2m for the same period a year ago.
Andrew Mason, chief executive of the four-year old business, said it was experiencing "continued challenges" in Europe, which offset its growth in North America.
It does not break out revenue for Europe, but international revenue, grew 3% to $277m for the quarter. By comparison North American revenue surged 80% to $292 million.
It narrowed its net loss to $3m, compared with a $54m loss the same quarter last year, as it cut its marketing costs by 58% to $70.9m.
The results showed that it has grown its customer base by 36.7% year on year, reaching 39.5 million.
Previously, Groupon has flagged the debt crisis in Europe as a challenge to the business, making it harder for it to sell high-ticket deals in the region, such as laser hair removal.
The results suggest that consumers' appetite for daily deals could be waning, particularly as the market becomes more crowded.

The game might have been the last for Redskins linebacker London Fletcher, who said he is 99 percent sure his 16-year career will end this season. He played in all 256 games in his career, starting the last 215, an NFL record for linebackers.
"It's bittersweet,"Fletcher said. "To have done something for 16 years, I love this game of football, but it's time for me to enjoy other things in life. I'm going to miss this game, miss Sundays."
London Fletcher (retiring after this season) played in his 256th straight game Sunday, the 4th-longest streak in NFL history… It's the 2nd-longest streak by a defensive player, trailing only former Browns and Vikings defensive end Jim Marshall.

It's the waiting that's killing.
Patience is a virtue. It's also something most people lack. That includes me. In some cases I can be patient. If I know why I should be. Like when I am at the gym and I have to wait between set for my ADP to switch back to ATP so I can get a proper training to build some massive masculine muscle. It feels a bit silly, sitting there, waiting, looking like you're doing nothing. But I know why and I know that if I don't I will miss out on some good results in the long run.

You know the nanny state is out of control and on the wrong side of the fight when a school district is investigating a seven-year-old for kicking a bully in the crotch in self defense and then accusing the kid of sexual harassment. That's what is happening in Boston.
A 7-year-old boy is being investigated by his South Boston elementary school for possible sexual harassment after kicking another boy in the crotch.
The first grader's mother, Tasha Lynch, says she was shocked by the school's decision.
"He's 7 years old. He doesn't know anything about sexual harassment," she said.
Lynch's son, Mark Curran, said the boy that he kicked had been bullying him on the school bus ride home from Tynan Elementary last week.
"He just all of a sudden came up to him, choked him. He wanted to take his gloves, and my son said, 'I couldn't breathe, so I kicked him in the testicles,'" said his mother.
We constantly hear liberals screaming about bullying and promoting anti-bullying campaigns, but they are never focused on the real issue of why bullying occurs. Bullying happens more often now than it did in the good old days because teachers and adminstrators punish kids for defending themselves against bullies, therefore, making kids already vulnerable to bullying even more vulnerable because bullies know the kids are less likely to fight back for fear of getting reprimanted by the school. This then turns them into helpless victims while taking the side of the bully. The Boston case is a perfect example. The bully deserved a good kick in the crotch, and probably deserves a few more.

ADDISON COUNTY — Vergennes defeated Mount Abraham to highlight area high school boys' soccer play in the latter half of last week. In other action, VUHS and Middlebury lost, while Otter Valley picked up a homecoming victory.
UPDATE: BRIDPORT — Vermont State Police earlier today were looking for the owner of a horse that was struck and killed by a vehicle on Route 22A in Bridport. Police have now found and notified the owners of the animal.
ADDISON COUNTY — The federal agency responsible for regulating interstate energy projects has granted a waiver that gives New York and Vermont, the two states through which Phase II of Vermont Gas Systems' Addison Rutland Natural Gas Project would run, authority to approve or reject the plan.
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission issued a ruling Sept. 26 that Phase II complies with the Natural Gas Act, which prohibits the construction of a natural gas pipeline in an area already served by natural gas.
MIDDLEBURY — Two Rutland men are facing assault-related charges in connection with their alleged roles in an Aug. 18 fight at a Seymour Street residence in Middlebury where a woman was struck in the face and a youth was beaten and choked to the point of almost losing consciousness, according to records on file at the Addison County Courthouse.
Grover W. Pangburn, 39, pleaded innocent on Monday in Addison Superior Court, criminal division, to a felony charge of aggravated assault stemming from the fight.
ADDISON COUNTY/BRANDON — Leaf peepers love Vermont in autumn, traveling the state to see the brilliant show of reds, oranges and yellows shimmering in the mountains and valleys. While looking for peak foliage, however, they also can take advantage of many special events during their stay, one of which is the Vermont Fall Open Studio Weekend.
BRISTOL — The Bristol Landfill will no longer accept leaf, yard, brush and clean wood debris, the selectboard decreed last week.
The change came after the Department of Environmental Conservation told the town it would no longer authorize the landfill to conduct controlled burns of its brush pile. In a statement, the selectboard said it explored other options, such as hiring a wood chipper or transporting the brush to a separate site for disposal. For now, the board decided to ban the items from the landfill.
VERGENNES — Addison County is gearing up for the general election on Nov. 4. Concern over low voter turnout for the August primary prompted discussions for staging a series of forums and debates for the contested races in the county. One of those events, to be held at the Vergennes Opera House on Wednesday, Oct. 15, from 7 to 8:30 p.m., will focus exclusively on issues concerning the economy of Addison County and of Vermont.
MIDDLEBURY — Vermont author Ellen Stimson will be at the Vermont Book Shop in Middlebury on Tuesday, Oct. 28, at 7 p.m. for the shop's October book discussion.

no, this doesn't make sense.. The slower system bus doesn't hold back the GPU at all, it does however limit the CPU performance. The GPU connects with the rest of the computer using AGP, which is not the bottleneck in GPU performance.. (remember, the AGP port connects to the system ram in the northbridge chip, so memory access for AGP is independent of the cpu, so increasing ram speed helps, but FSB alone doesn't)
Apart from texturing over agp where the memory speed can make a difference, the FSB has no direct effect on the GPU (and then only because most people increase their ram speed when the increase their FSB).. any difference in performance is due to how CPU performance is effected by FSB speed.. I can clarify that a bit (or a lot) more if its needed, but i couldn't be bothered typing more if you get that anyway.
Ummm Front Side Bus, Honestly doesnt change much cept the ram speed these Days, Specially on Nforce 2 based boards ect, FSB is an interesting term, Because all its really changing is the Northbridges performance and the way the CPU relates to the Memory, I can still remember when raising it changes the AGP/PCI devices as well... gosh them were the days... Damn I think Vias New Boards for a64 arch dont do that right?
Increasing FSB also Increases Memory, And the guy would recieve a 100 mhz Memory Speed adjustment with a P4C Rather than a P4a @ 100 mhz FSB, So theres qutet a bit of bandwith improvement.
So ya it would make a difference ;p
That being said, No FSB system is going to run its memory Async, It just doesnt make sense as theres no performance gain and the Higher Latencies just slow it down anyway,
Theoretically you could run your memory at a higher frequency than your FSb async as well... But any benefit to Memory bandwith would be lost due to latency issues anyway.
Btw you can even take the most GPU intensive app there is and see Performance increases in Game test 2, 3 and 4 of 3dmark2003 by raising FSB alone :I
Actually that gives me an idea, I should try Running my System Async in the 3dmark2003 tests results, See how it correlates to FSB and see how much an improvement ran.
For instance.
Run it @ 133/166
and 166/166
and 166/133
and 133/133
Just to see How 3dmark2003 graphical tests react to the different Memory and bandwith of the system, So it could theoretically be tested, Even on Far Cry

Jane Powell To Host Career Transition's HEART & SOUL Awards Luncheon
Career Transition For Dancers will present The Third Annual "HEART & SOUL" Awards Luncheon Celebrating Dance on Broadway on Thursday, March 15, 2012 at 11:30 am at Club Colette in Palm Beach, FL. Jane Powell legendary star of movies, stage and television will be the host. The Chairs are: Anka K. Palitz, Vicki Kellogg and Cheryl Gowdy. "So many have been so enthusiastic, agreeing to help Career Transition For Dancers and the Palm Beach Heart & Soul luncheon bring awareness of our very unique organization and the service we provide to their former dancers!" stated Ms. Palitz.
Although remembered as the star of 20 major MGM musicals, including the classics Seven Brides for Seven Brothers and Royal Wedding co-starring Fred Astaire, Jane Powell has appeared in every entertainment medium and has won acclaim as a dramatic actress and comedienne. On Broadway she starred in Irene. On tour she broke house records in dozens of cities, starring in South Pacific, My Fair Lady, Peter Pan, The Sound of Music, Carousel, Brigadoon, The Boy Friend, Little Mary Sunshine, Oklahoma!, The Student Prince, I Do! I Do!, and The Most Happy Fella. Off-Broadway she co-starred with Jerry Stiller and Anne Meara in After Play, and in Avow, for which she won unanimous rave reviews for her performance. She received the Drama-Logue Award for Same Time, Next Year. She co-starred in Stephen Sondheim's musical, Bounce, directed by Harold Prince. Jane Powell has done it all: films, television, theatre, radio, the concert stage, recordings, commercials (including a long stint as spokesperson for Polident throughout the 1990s), nightclubs, Las Vegas, Atlantic City, and the lecture circuit. She has performed for five U.S. Presidents and the Queen of England. Her autobiography, The Girl Next Door and How She Grew, and her exercise video, Fight Back With Fitness, designed to help people with arthritis, was acclaimed hits. On the lecture circuit, her subjects include fitness, renewal and growth in the "golden years" and, of course, her life in Hollywood. She was honored by the U. S. Department of Veterans Affairs with the Secretary's Diamond Award for her "legacy of service to military personnel and veterans, especially for her continuous support of the VA's annual National Veterans Creative Arts Festival." The Diamond Award is the VA's highest honor to private citizens. The library of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences cited the Jane Powell Papers (photographs, recordings, scripts and home movies) as one of the Magnificent Collections in their most recent acquisitions.

Youre pathetic, the vegetation in Crysis is by far the best i've ever seen in a game so far. No other game is even close, well exept for oblivion, its a damn exception. You got serious issues if you disagree on that. Tell me any other game that does it better. The HDR is standard in many of the pictures and you still complain. Several of the pictures have custom TOD settings witch do change the HDR from standard yes and the HDR may be experianced as "overdone" However some (like myself) like it so, its all a matter of taste.
The roadside picture is NOT downsized in any way, therefor there is some aliasing yes. However i removed pretty much aliasing in that picture already and the roadsigns aswell. That youre complaining about the roadsigns have aliasing is just silly, its almost not noticable.

Brown in Black and White
By editor
(2/22/06) A new documentary about school segregation premiered Tuesday night at the Levine Museum of the New South. "Brown in Black and White" studies a 1954 CBS TV show that aired after the U.S. Supreme Court ordered an end to segregation. CBS sent correspondents from Edward R. Murrow's show "See It Now" to Gastonia to talk with students about integration. WFAE's Jaime Bedrin spoke with documentary producer Steve Crump and asked him what attracted him to Murrow's program. Crump's documentary airs on Thursday, Febraury 23, on WTVI.

Yes, xml demo content is included…. thanks
I'm unabled to purchase this theme with PayPal or Moneybookers. Is there any alternative way?
Please help.
Please contact themeforest support regarding this issue…. please read this thread http://themeforest.net/forums/thread/issues-when-making-payments-with-paypal/71934
Hi there!
Hopefully a quick question – the image slider seems to have a 1px border around it – whatbox-testpad.com/vicki
I have of course taken a good look at the css files and cannot find anything that might be causing this.
If wouldn't mind taking a look for us that'd be greatly appreciated.
Dear templatesquare, Currently my website is www.anirbanghosh.com and I am thinking about purchasing your theme. I have 2 questions and please guide me here, 1. Is it possible to put movies on the Home page? 2. Is it possible to edit, so the Tab bar will not have shadow and rounded corner? Thank you.
1 and 2: Yes…
Is is possible to "mimic" the button press on a Portfolio category? For example if I am on the home page and want to go straight to a page showing not ALL category but say "Category X"?
Thanks – great theme by the way!!
Im having issues modifying and adding new pages (cant switch to html view) and thought to confirm if this theme is compatible with Wordpress version 3.4.2?
Great theme – I'm really happy with it, so is my client!
One small request – I've only got 4 main navigation buttons, so I'd like to centre them as they look odd aligned left… how would I tweak the CSS to do this? I've tried a few additions but none seem to have the effect I desire!
Many thanks in advance
Have purchased the them and think it's fantastic.
There is one question I have regards the responsiveness of the theme on mobile devices. Is it possible to add the ability to either switch off the slideshow when viewing on mobile devices or modify the layout of the slideshow so that the content is still readable – currently it overlays considerably.
Still a great theme.
Quick question before purchase. Can I use video in the slider on the homepage? For example – video to left test on right.
A friend of mine bought this template from you and I am helping them tweak it – question how do you get the Twitter Feed to work in the footer – we have added the user name in the social area of the control panel but nothing shows in the footer? Again to confirm we are looking to show the most recent tweet in the footer area as per your demo.
Many thanks in advance
I just imported the XLM sample data and I received these errors: Failed to import "Contact form 1": Invalid post type wpcf7_contact_form Failed to import "Contact form 1": Invalid post type wpcf7_contact_form Failed to import "Newsletter": Invalid post type wpcf7_contact_form. Is there a reason why these three things failed?
Looking to edit the info add bottom.. remove that twitter feed/link. that says….. Fashionistyle – Fashion WordPress Theme is best for fashion company sites -> http://t.co/TavY9yeT
also.. cannot seem to get a featured image for other pages.. only the "home page"
site up for testing at www.blackdogwebtesting.com
Hi, I love the template, however my submenu text is long and doesn't look too good with a single column dropdown menu. Do you know how I can have the dropdown menu go horizonal linear? ..similar to http://www.lwis.net/free-css-drop-down-menu/flickr.com.linear.html
Hi, I purchased this template and am having an issue getting the slider to show on all pages…
Also.. I am having an issue with that grey bar that contains text in the middle of the page. How do i get both of these to show up. PLEASE HELP !
testing is @ www.blackdogwebtesting.com
Is this theme supports devices? iOS/Android etc.
Yes, thanks
Hey, gorgeous theme! I want to buy it asap. Could you coach me or help me out by making the menu stick to the top when you scroll down? Mainly for the desktop size. Mobile is not important since it uses a different menu.
So once you scroll down, and the logo cant be seen, i want the menu to always be visible (stuck to the top of the screen)
Thank you!!
Just finished building a website using this theme. Everything went smoothly and the support was great. Great work guys, thanks.
I sent a message to your profile, but didn't hear a response. I am having a problem with the columns. I am having issues in two places, one on the homepage, and one on the portfolio. The layout seems to be messing up, and I can't figure out why. Here is our portfolio so you can see what is going on. All the thumbnail images are uniform, so I'm baffled as to why it is doing this. http://www.webrevmarketing.com/clients/webrev/portfolio/
Also something strange… when I'm on a portfolio item, the news nav item is highlighted. Do you know why it would be doing this as well?
Thanks for your help!
Hi, please send support request via http://www.templatesquare.com/tf-support/
I've tried to integrate Google Fonts into the theme, but in IE9 it is not working?
Any suggestions? Could it be a doctype issue?
Hi, please send support questions to http://www.templatesquare.com/tf-support/
We will check this issue…

Assad's younger brother dies of undisclosed illness in Damascus
Syrian news agency says death followed a 'long struggle with a severe illness.'
The youngest brother of Syrian President Bashar Assad died of an undisclosed illness in Damascus on Saturday, a Syrian news agency reported.
Majd Hafez al-Assad died "after a long struggle with a severe illness," reported the Syrian Arab News Agency.
Majd Hafez al-Assad is survived by his brothers Bashar and Maher, and a sister, Bushra.
Assad's elder brother, Basil Assad was expected to become Syria's next president but was killed in a car accident in 1994.
Bashar Assad became president in 2000, following the death of his father, Hafez al-Assad.
In 2008, a report was released accusing Bashar's brother-in-law of organizing a military coup to drive Assad out of power.

Surrounded by some of the country's top credit card company executives, President Obama today called for an end to "unfair rate increases," "abusive fees" and "confusing terms and conditions" facing American consumers.
"I think there has to be strong and reliable protections for consumers -- protections that ban unfair rate increases and forbid abusive fees and penalties," Obama said. "The days of anytime, any-reason rate hikes and late fee traps have to end."
Obama spoke at the White House today, following a meeting with executives from more than a dozen companies, including American Express and U.S. Bancorp.
Top White House brass were also in attendance, including economic adviser Larry Summers, who fell asleep during Obama's remarks, according to a White House press pool report.
The president called the meeting "constructive."
"We are confident we can arrive at something that is common sensical, something that allows the industry to continue to provide loans and to run a stable business model that's not dependent on bubbles, that's not dependent on people getting overextended or finding themselves getting in over their heads," he said. "I trust that those in the industry who want to act responsibily will engage with us in a constructive fashion and that we're going to be able to get this done in short order."
In addition to limits on rate increases and late-term penalties, the president called for companies to disclose the terms and conditions of credit cards "in plain language" and "in plain sight."
"No more fine print, no more confusing terms and conditions. We want clarity and transparency from here on out," he said.
He also proposed that each card issuer might issue "a plain vanilla, easy-to-understand" credit card "that the average user can feel comfortable with."
There should also be more accountability for card issuers, he said. Those who break the law, Obama said, "will feel the full weight of the law."
Obama's proposals may come as welcome news to people like Trish McComas and Daniel Doucette.
McComas, 69, a retired widow in Indianopolis, and Doucette, 54, an engineer in suburban Cincinnati, both have recently seen their credit card interest rates spike above 20 percent -- 29.4 percent for McComas and 23.9 percent for Doucette -- even though both say they're always on time with their payments.
McComas said she was "appalled," while Doucette said he was stunned credit card companies were allowed to do that.
How is the Economy Treating You? Tell ABC News
"Your interest rate goes from 7.9 percent to 23.9 percent because they can," he said. "It just amazes me that the government would even allow that process to happen."
Whether the government will, in fact, allow such hikes to keep happening is a popular topic in Washington, D.C., these days.
The Federal Reserve and other government agencies have already announced new credit card rules, including limits on when banks are allowed to raise interest rates, but they don't go into effect until next year.
Legislation by Congress -- including measures sponsored by Sen. Chris Dodd, D-Conn., and Rep. Carolyn Maloney, D-N.Y. -- could institute similar rules sooner. Obama supports efforts by Congress to pass new regulations, White House press secretary Robert Gibbs said today.

the Goldstar tickets were NOT found in Lot G so we did alot of walking from Lot G to find the box office. Also we were NOT put in section 37-40. We were put in section 41 which was further away from home plate. It was NOT fair and we complained at the box office and he did NOTHING. We paid for the best seats and were not given the seats which were advertised. It was a great game, enjoyed watching the Angles and the Dodgers.

Memphis musician Eric Gales arrested on drug charge
Local blues-rock guitarist Eric Gales was arrested for cocaine possession while he unloaded band equipment in Downtown Memphis on Sunday.
Officers responded to a drugs violation complaint at Second Street and Beale at 8:50 p.m. They found Gales, who just finished a three-year sentence at the Shelby County Correction Center on drug-related charges, unloading equipment from an SUV parked on the street.
Officers said Gales smelled of marijuana and ignored commands to move the vehicle into an alley to clear a way for traffic, the police affidavit states.
They frisked him and found a bottle of pills in his pants pocket that contained cocaine wrapped in a dollar, and two small bags containing cocaine and two Xanax bars, the affidavit states.
Officers said in the report that the cocaine and Xanax bars were packaged for reselling.
Gales was released from prison following his three-year stint on March 1.
Gales told The Commercial Appeal in a July 2009 interview that he "always had a problem with snorting" cocaine.
"You get started on it, it ain't going to stop," he said then.
He called drug use the "worst decision I made in my life."
On the way to jail, Gales asked officers if he could "just get a citation," the affidavit states.
"I am just trying to make a little money," he said, according to the document.
Gales is being held in jail on a $25,000 bond and faces charges of possession of cocaine and possession of a controlled substance with the intent to manufacture, deliver or sell.
He is scheduled to appear in court Tuesday.

Benjamin Moore "Advance" or "Cabinet-Coat"?
Hi Everyone!
I know I want to paint all my cabinets, trim, and doors in Benjamin Moore White Dove.
I was all set to buy Advance based on the reviews I've read online and went to my local BM store. The guy there said the Advance would yellow and I should use CC. I left confused...
I've now read about CC and it does sound promising until I read one post that said it has a natural green tint to it so my White Dove might not match the samples I painted in WB Satin Impervo (which is being phased out so not an option).
Which do you recommend?
Advance is a waterborne alkyd- meaning oil. But it is a veg. based oil, not petro . Will not yellow near as much as the old oils, but will some , and might be noticeable in the light colors. New enough paint that i haven't been around it after a year to tell.
Cab Coat is also a great choice. Best might be to get a qt of it and see if it is close enough to a White Dove match to satisfy you.
If the whole project is the same material it should work fine.

Billy Butler is available
Oct 22, 2013, 3:05 PM EDT
Need a DH? Don't mind spending $20 million for a guy whose best years are likely behind him? Call Dayton Moore today:
Royals ready to talk about Billy Butler deal for teams that would take on DH owed $8 million in '14, $12m in 2015.
— Buster Olney (@Buster_ESPN) October 22, 2013
Butler is coming off his worst season, in which he hit .289/.374/.412. That's still useful, particularly in the OBP department, but that's a lot of money to pay for a guy with no defensive value.
- chip56 - Oct 22, 2013 at 3:17 PM
As an aside, someone asked me a question a few days ago, "What are the current trends/phrases that have been overplayed and are ready to go away?"
Some of the answers were phrases like: Wall Street vs. Main Street. Others were trends like molecular gastronomy (which is using chemicals to mask the fact that you're a crappy chef by making the food more interesting looking but not better tasting) and another one was "the snarky sports blogger."
I tend to agree – if your posts are little more than a quick quote or stat or something and then a lot of words tearing apart the origin of that quote or validity of the stat; well I could do that…it's like lazy Seinfeld comedy or something.
Anyway, just thought I would throw that out there.
- sportsdrenched - Oct 22, 2013 at 3:32 PM
You have a wordpress account…get after it then.
- Reflex - Oct 22, 2013 at 3:34 PM
Um, so you know nothing about cooking or blogging. Go it.
Side note: Add butter or salt to your dish. Congrats, you just engaged in molecular gastronomy.
- chip56 - Oct 22, 2013 at 4:05 PM
Actually that's seasoning. Using liquid nitrogen, which adds no flavor but can make soup crunchy, is gastronomy
- Reflex - Oct 22, 2013 at 4:11 PM
What the f*ck do you think seasoning actually is? Also, why is texture unimportant in your concept of cooking? As a former cook myself I can tell you its of paramount importance. If you believe otherwise, feel free to put all your food in a blender and drink it!
All molecular gastronomy is is an attempt to approach cooking with the same kind of scientific precision that other fields are engaged in, which has the benefit of better understanding of what makes food pleasureable as well as making recipes more reproducible(and ingredients substitutable).
- posterkid88 - Oct 22, 2013 at 3:21 PM
Billy Butler is 27 years old and is scheduled to make $8 million next year and $12.5 million with a $1 million team buy out in 2015.
He may be the slowest payer in baseball and can only play 1b.
- sportsdrenched - Oct 22, 2013 at 3:41 PM
In other words the Royals Front Office doesn't have a real good gage on the market…any market and we'll be hearing that they're asking for too much in return later this fall. Just like we heard with Luke Hochevar last spring. And Soria before that.
While I don't think any Royals player should be immune to a trade. I think it also shows that the front office hasn't determined how they want to go about fixing the holes in the Royals roster this off-season. I sort of find that troubling.
- jb8588 - Oct 22, 2013 at 3:45 PM
Yeah me may be the slowest player in baseball and all that, but the guy can hit. I don't believe his best days are behind him at all, and he would be an upgrade to quite a few teams in the DH spot or even at 1B.
- jb8588 - Oct 22, 2013 at 3:46 PM
- shawnuel - Oct 22, 2013 at 4:39 PM
I agree. Not sure why, at 28 next season) he would be on the downward slope of his career. He had a bad season. Low Babip and a LOT of ground balls. His FB ratio totally died. Average regression might not mean the 29 HR he hit in 2012 but I can see a .300 BA and 25 HR as not being a pipe dream at all. 20 mil for 2 seasons of that isn't so bad.
- dan1111 - Oct 22, 2013 at 5:05 PM
Yeah, and in his "bad" season he still had a 116 OPS+. Seems like he would be a useful pickup for many teams. Which raises the question, why the heck does KC want to trade him away? They are in "hey, we actually have a slight chance to win now" mode.
- pdowdy83 - Oct 22, 2013 at 4:25 PM
Craig, on what basis do you come to the conclusion his best days are behind him? It isn't like he is 33 or 34. He will play next year at age 28. He was still worth 1.4 WAR with last year even during his down season which puts him at being worth about $7 million last year. He had a career low fly ball rate and by far a career high ground ball rate this year which attributed to his lower slugging percentage. 2013 could very well be an aberation based on that alone. He only has 1 year left on his contract with an option for 2015. Not quite $20 million gauranteed like the post reads. If he repeats 2013 again in 2014 the team that acquires will have barely overpaid him contract wise and they can cut bait for 2015. The real question is what Dayton Moore is asking for in return.
I would take Butler if I were the Orioles or Rangers. He could put up some large numbers playing in one of those parks on a regular basis.
- braddavery - Oct 22, 2013 at 4:30 PM
"…whose best years are likely behind him?"
28 years old with no defensive wear and tear on this 2012 All Star's career hitting .298 body. Yep, his career is almost over. lol
- stinkfist5 - Oct 22, 2013 at 5:44 PM
I'm sure Buck Showalter wouldn't mind pencilling in Butler to his lineup everyday…but will Angelos and Duquette be willing to spend the dough? Probably not.
- weaselpuppy - Oct 22, 2013 at 7:52 PM
Billy Butler, from the looks of it, is pretty experienced in molecular gastronomy….
- Reflex - Oct 22, 2013 at 8:27 PM
Yeah, but everything he eats is unseasoned…

TBH I don't know how much you'd be gaining with a 5900U. Anyplace a 5900XT chokes enough to be choppy the 5900U would probably choke, too. I mean its the same technology with lower clocks and less ram, no pipeline, shader, or any other differences.

Cassidy Lange Launches Handbag Line
MGM producer, Cassidy Lange, has found a new outlet for her creativity with the launch of her bag line. Cassidy Lange Handbags feature a boho-chic vibe influenced by Venice Beach, California.
Lange, 31, was having trouble finding a bag that could take her from beach neighborhood to corporate job as a senior vice president of production at MGM Studios in Beverly Hills.
"I wanted something that would fit in my office, or on my beach cruiser handlebar or in a yoga class. For me, that meant simple, classic and unadorned."
She first developed the London bag for herself. It's a round pouch-style bag with no hardware, and a simple leather strap laced through a loop to form an adjustable handle.
Lange was spotted wearing her bag by Rachel McAdams while working on "The Vow." McAdams was intrigued and asked if she could make her one.
"I really like the way it felt to have people interested in my creative work," said Lange.
Currently working on the film remake of "Carrie," Lange has found more Hollywood fans in Chloë Grace Moretz, Gabriella Wilde and Judy Greer.
Lange sold her collectin on Fab.com where all 80 bags sold out on the first day. For fall, she'll start wholesaling through KKS sales in New York. Other styles include a messenger and circle bags made from calf hair, lambskins, distressed leathers with a tie-dye effect and Navajo blanket styles.

Every day I take the time to contemplate how...
Every day I take the time to contemplate how good life is. I feel I am a bit lucky that everybody I have met and all that I have experienced has gotten me to where I am right now. I'm from NJ and relocated 7 years ago because of work. I love North Carolina. I can't hide my Type A personality nor do I try. I can get a bit boisterous. I live to laugh and work to get others on board. I was listed as Athletic and Toned. A broken foot and torn rotator cuff has me wanting to take off 25 lbs. I am looking forward to getting back to the gym. I have superpowers none of which can be found in the gym. I have mad backup skills and can parallel park in the tightest of spaces. If it is important I can weave in and out of tight traffic to get to my destination at least 10 seconds ahead of anyone. My squeegee skills are incomparable. I can fall asleep before my head hits the pillow. I'm sure I could be an awesome custodian or lot attendant. Intellectual stimulation is important. I live for the debate and I don't need to be passionate about the subject to exercise the mind. On the other hand I have three televisions in the house....and I live alone. Yes they are pretty ridiculously large. Stop judging me! I didn't have a female influence when purchasing so I did the typical guy thing. I do believe in a television in the bedroom. I can prioritize. I can't go more than a few months without a long weekend in a big city. NYC and New Orleans are my current favorites. I love my job. Its tough, challenging and rewarding. Things should be easy and not forced. I don't want drama and I don't fight. I don't cheat and really don't understand why people do. If this is one of your faults, please please please move on. I hold doors. I know you are capable. That is how I was raised. I travel often but I haven't left North America. I am changing that by going to Italy in a few months. Is your glass half full? Are you sociable? Is life about the good times? If your answers are "yes, yes and yes" then reach out.

For those of you who are interested in rooting your recently purchased LG Optimus One device which is are known as the LG Optimus S (Sprint), LG Optimus T (T-Mobile) and the LG Vortex (Verizon), word on the street points to z4 root for your one-click rooting pleasure or we're sure a simple Google search will give you the answers you need. If you have a rooted LG Optimus S, you can head over to CommunityRelease.com and grab yourself the ThundeROM v1.2 from Beezy and KSmithInNY. How many of you are rocking the Optimus S and going to try this custom ROM? Via: Android Central Forums Mimi When I used the Optimus S over a couple of days, I found it to be well behind the Android curve in terms of speed and performance. I tested its Quadrant number at around 420, while a Galaxy S phone is around 900 and even the Motorola Bravo has a Quadrant measurement of 1,100. If rooting the Optimus S and cleaning out the junk makes it perform better, that's a good thing. http://motorbicycle.org/ Robert Mathias I have my EVO, and I got my brother the Optimus S, got the root, trying to install it and put in the flash, will come back in a few hours and let you know! Thanks for the article http://twitter.com/kekil Cecil @Robert .. any updates? I Androidspin guest saying a simple google search will give you what you need sucks. Google brought me here. Please link to the actual link thank you Gbrownoliva1 All I would like is to have the free hotspot, would doing a shell root change anything else on the phone? I guess I am curious about how much a root will change my phone? Dumb questions but I would like to know the answer please. http://viettelonline.com USB 3G This imformation is a great help. Try to keep your imformation. I and other people need to understand about it. Thank you !

by Starfury Growing up, I read books like The King's Daughter, Dear Princess, Beautiful Girlhood, Waiting for Her Isaac, and The Courtship of Sarah MacLean over and over. I would plan out having twenty six children, so I could use every letter of the alphabet when I named them. I would try to devise my own homeschool curriculum based on the ones I had used, and what I liked and didn't like about them. On top of all that, I was writing my own Proverbs 31 devotional.And yet, somewhere in all of this, I was still punching things into a "computer" on a tree, and yelling for everyone to get out and climb the Jeffries Tubes because of a warp core breach. Rather than make a hoop skirt, I made a … [Read more...]
The Destiny of a Virtuous Daughter ~ Part 3: Pop Guns & Purity Rings
The Beautiful Girlhood Doll ~ Part 3: Femininity & Grace
by Libby Anne The truly beautiful girl is one who radiates that inner grace which only comes from the confidence in being a woman of God. She enjoys dressing like a lady and being about the business of women. Because of this, others think of her with respect. Her very comportment communicates a gentle, gracious spirit.My siblings and I learned early on that boys and girls had separate roles in life. Boys were to be protectors and providers and girls were to be mothers and homemakers. Mom taught my sisters and me that women might work outside the home before marriage, but not afterwards. Mom told us that when she was a kid, she had always been told that she could be a mommy and something … [Read more...]
Steadfast Daughters in a Quivering World ~ Part 6: Soul-Binding
[Note: this series is dedicated to Quivering Daughtersby the former-Quiverfull moms at No Longer Quivering.]by DaisyMy name is Daisy.I am a good person...but I was a bad parent.Tragically, by choosing QF/patriarchal fundamentalist methodology as the pattern for my home, believing that it would provide the very best insurance against messing up with parenthood, I messed up. I messed up badly. I hurt my kids and, worse, I silenced them when they tried to tell me about it. Criticizing your parents is, of course, disrespectful and therefore opening a dangerous door that may lead a child ultimately to rebelling against God - and as I believed that put my child in danger of hellfire, of … [Read more...]
Steadfast Daughters in a Quivering World ~ Part 5: Confessions of a Quiverfull Hero
[Note: this series is dedicated to Quivering Daughters by the former-Quiverfull moms at No Longer Quivering.] by DaisyI was only 19 when I arrived at Christianity's door, bruised and highly impressionable and, because of my family situation, determined to do a better job of sorting out my life than my parents had done. Victims of abuse in their own homes, my parents had learned very early to dissociate from their emotions. Our home was an emotionally sterile one and, although I know now that this is not true, as as child I believed my parents did not love me. I decided that when *I* had kids, if they grew up knowing nothing else, they would know for sure that I loved them more than br … [Read more...]
Steadfast Daughters in a Quivering World ~ Part 3: Perception
[Note: this series is dedicated to Quivering Daughters by the former-Quiverfull moms at No Longer Quivering.] by VyckieSo what is "abuse" and who gets to define it? Steadfast Daughters devotes a considerable amount of time and mental energy to this question. The trouble with making definitions central to the discussion is this: there's no way to do it without being condescending, petty and dismissive of Quivering Daughters who are reporting their highly personal, and necessarily highly subjective experiences of emotional and spiritual abuse.There is no objective way of defining and quantifying "abuse" ~ no way. Sorry. Try it if you must ~ but you will lose.Too many factors affect our … [Read more...]
Steadfast Daughters in a Quivering World ~ Part 2: Expectations
[Note: this series is dedicated to Quivering Daughters by the former-Quiverfull moms at No Longer Quivering.] by VyckieProverbs 22:6 says: Train up a child in the way he should go, And when he is old he will not depart from it.Damn ~ I really hate that verse. Let me tell you why.1) It is from this proverb that we Quiverfull moms got the idea that through diligent training we could ensure our children would become mature Christians firmly grounded in the Lord and His word. Of course, we all know that God has no grandchildren ~ our sons and daughters must come to their own faith in Christ ~ still, there is a promise implied in Proverbs 22:6 which leads QF parents to believe that by our in … [Read more...]

I loved the title. The words "Feminine Loveliness" filled my imagination with visions of … [Read more...]

Quiverfull Daughters: The Making of a Helpmeet
TLC's 19 Kids & Counting: The Duggar Family on How To Prepare For Courtship & Marriageby Hopewell"Helpmeet" is such an odd-sounding word to modern ears! But it resonates well in the lingo of the King James Bible. Girls born to Quiverfull families begin their training for the life's calling as a Helpmeet [aka wife and homemaker] almost at birth.Girls are born for one and only one reason: to serve a husband. In that capacity, as his helpmeet, she will bear and raise his children, feed as many children as God sends on whatever income he earns, may raise a garden and animals or run a home-based business [with his approval], may home birth and will certainly homeschool all of her ch … [Read more...]
