anyone here uses ATT DSL? And one of those 2wire modem/gateways?
Re: ATT DSL
Never used ATT but when I lived in Hawaii we used Hawaiian telecom DSL. It was 7 down I think. Never had a problem playing online or browsing.
Re: ATT DSL
Up until a week ago, I had ATT with a 2 wire modem I had purchased from them. I had maximum speed offered in my area which was 3 megs down for the past 2.5 years. I never had a problem with the quality of their service and in that regard I have nothing but praise and good things to say about them.
AT&T kept promising to have Uverse in my area soon, along with a cooresponding DSL bandwidth increase, but they have since seemed to back off on it. Cable in my area offered 12 Meg down for just $5 more. A four fold speed increase at that price was something I couldn't ignore so I'm on Charter now.
Why are you asking? Do you have a problem?
Re: ATT DSL
Someone asked me for help with 2wire modem/gateway. Just trying to find some technical info on it.
Haven't seen the setup yet, I believe its one of the older 2wire homeportal modem/gateways.
From description there is only one ethernet port in back, usb port and the phone port for dsl.
Was just wondering if anyone with similar setup tried connecting a router to it?
Re: ATT DSL
I've got one. Seems they haven't updated the model in years. I've heard of people connecting another wireless router to it for wireless n so I'm pretty sure it can be done with a few tweaks in the settings, whatever they may be
Re: ATT DSL
Re: ATT DSL
Just put this device infront of a router and it should work fine...
Re: ATT DSL
Just buy it, hook everything up, and power it up. All should work fine. Depending on what you do, you may not even have to go inside the router setup to do anything although if you have multiple systems playing games on them you may have to fine tune somethings in the router you buy. Good routers with 4-ports and wireless access in them can be had for $50 or so today, at least in my area. However...
I used the 2 Wire Wireless Router/Gateway from ATT. I purchased it from them for about $50 (which is about the same cost as a router you may notice...). In fact, I may have gotten it for free when I ordered DSL, not sure. Anyway, it has 4 ports and wireless, of course. Without extra hardware, you could have several computers hook up to it thanks to the wireless. If you need more ports, just buy any old switch to hook up to it. The setup inside this unit is fairly full featured and typical compared to comparable routers you can buy in various outlets I mentioned above. Again, depending on how many systems you hook up to it and you gaming needs you may need to tweak something just like any other router. However, everything you need is there. The ATT router/gateway is a good choice. Since it's ATT, it's [probably] the best route to go to guarantee as few problems as possible and you have the option of going to them for support if you need it. I never had any problems with this unit at all. I've been around computers and such for a while. I found this unit to be a quality, trouble free item. Check it out.
Just my two cents. Best of luck to you and your friend!!

Why didn't they think of this from the get go?
Don't get me wrong, this game is still a credit earning grindfest even after giving you access to all 8 ships and 3 galaxies, but at least now you can access everything (eventually) from only in-game credits and have no need to buy "starbucks" for some of the items.
I love this game! The + version is way better than than the free version even though it's missing the Omega galaxy. There are tons of levels to keep you playing for a long time. This is one of my favorite games on my iPad. Get it now!
Wouldn't it make sense to add the Omega levels and color customization to the + version rather than have people buy both to get full content?

Personal QR Codes Can Help First Responders
When a first responder arrives on the scene of an emergency call and finds an unresponsive victim, it can be a very delicate, difficult situation. Little information about the patient can drastically increase the risk of medical error.
That may change soon with the help of personal QR codes. When first responders arrive at the scene, they will be able to scan the QR code on a patient's phone or ID card and get information that's been registered in advance.
This information will tell the responders if the patient has any underlying conditions, is taking any medications or has any allergies or pre-existing conditions that can affect treatment. It will also simultaneously alert emergency contacts through a text message.
This idea is not new, but is quickly becoming more of a reality as many software developers, software engineers and nursing students are putting business plans together and meeting with medical venture capital companies such as Dreamit Ventures.
Ultimately, the QR code can help reduce medical error and prevent medical complications for patients. This is just one of many ways new technology is changing healthcare.

David Harlow says:
This is, needless to say, a longstanding problem, and many solutions have been proposed, including implantable RFID chips, flashdrives of one sort or another containing key medical information, etc. Some of the key problems with these solutions: (1) Most health IT security folk will not approve importing/ scanning/ uploading data from unknown sources (patients) that could include malware, viruses, etc. (2) Patient data is dynamic, and providing a snapshot of information as of some past date may be incomplete at best, harmful at worst. (3) Software and hardware compatibility over the long term is far from a given, leading to limited usability at best of solutions that pass hurdles 1 & 2. Even John Halamka, who famously had an RFID chip implanted in his arm, had it removed a couple of years later.
"One potential benefit of high deductibles is that it may force our health care system into providing price transparency. Otherwise, it wil continue business as usual."
"Often times medical treatments are addresing the symptoms and not the real cause of the problem. A hollistic approach to the overall pacient life (health, conditions and behaviours) would definitely be a more efficient way of resolving health problems and even life quality of pacients. But then again, would that be considered a succes for pharmaceutical companies and medical practitioners, ..."

School children share views on asylum seekers
A youth asylum seeker advocacy group in Darwin says school children sympathise with the plight of those in immigration detention.
Multicultural Youth NT held an event in Nightcliff last night to encourage more young people to get involved in support programs for the detainees.
The group's Kevin Kadirgamar says local school students have shared their views.
"Some are really profound or some just simply reminding us of the second verse of our national anthem, 'for those who come across the seas, we've boundless plains to share'," he said.
"So it shows that they're really thinking about these issues and that they do care and I think the general idea that people in Darwin do care about human rights."
Meanwhile, the group says security restrictions make it difficult for young volunteers to access the immigration detention centre.
Mr Kadirgamar says detainees have told volunteers that they need more social support.
The group are in discussions with the Immigration Department to get better access to the centre.
"We're getting the message that all they're after really is just a bit of social support, just someone to go in and have a chat to them from the outside," he said.

ROUSES POINT - This year not only marks the 400th anniversary of Samuel de Champlain's exploration of the region, it also marks the 50th anniversary of the village of Rouses Point's annual Fourth of July events. This year, the two celebrations will combine.
The village of Rouses Point was approached by the Hudson-Fulton-Champlain Quadricentennial Commission to have the theme of their annual Fourth of July events be the Quadricentennial.
"I think if we had wished not to participate we didn't have to, but it would not look very nice," laughed Village Mayor George A. Rivers.
Rivers recalled the 350th anniversary of the historic voyage, celebrated in 1959.
"When they had the 350th anniversary, the village put on a big celebration," he said. "Then, we sort of let it slip for a couple of years. We had the parade on the Fourth of July, then we said, 'Lets put a committee together.' We've had a Fourth of July celebration ever since."
This year, one of the primary ways in which the Quad celebration has joined with the village's annual events is through the parade. Typically, the Fourth of July parade is based on a theme, but, this year, the Quadricentennial committee asked Rouses Point Elementary School students to determine the specific theme, somehow focused around the Quadricentennial.
The winning slogan for the parade theme was chosen by the committee and will be "Celebration of the Exploration," created by fifth-grader Meghan Sheehan.
"She will ride in the Rouses Point fire truck in our Fourth of July parade, receive a Quad T-shirt and a certificate from the village of Rouses Point, congratulating her on being the winner," explained Geri Favreau, a Quadricentennial committee organizer.
Sheehan will also receive a gift certificate for a large pizza from Sandy's Deli.
So far, it is undetermined who will have floats in this year's parade, but Favreau does know the Rouses Point-Champlain Historical Society will have a float with the Quad theme.

Skills beats size most of the time, but in this fight skills and size favor the same guy, easy win for Cano, peacePosted August 31, 2012 10:41 pm
KnucKled Eye
Jones and Pacman are your examples of skills are better than size. You just mentioned 2 of the greatest fighters in the last 25 years against B level oppisition. I will admit that skill helps against a fighter who is larger than you. It also has to be mentioned that a highly skilled brawler would have much more trouble against a larger brawler because all of the advantages are gone. A smaller boxer, mover has a better chance against a larger brawler because of the speed. So it depends on the match up.Posted August 31, 2012 5:06 pm
Skill vs. Size not sure where you're going with that you provided some examples and they are very good ones at that. And i aplaud you for looking at that end of it. And you really didn't provide an arguement just examples. So with that in mind would you put Andre Ward with one of the K brothers. cause Andre has tons of skill. Or would we put a kid like Broner in with oh lets say Carl Froch. I mean cause Broners pretty fast and has boat loads of skill (at least in his mind..LOL). So we take a different approach, you have a kid that has oh lets say 10 fights no amateur fights and weighs 225 and you put him in with Floyd. Now as much as many hate Floyd one cant deny his skill but could his skill over match a man weighing 225. Perhaps Floyd would run around and not get hit much but one things for certain 225 pounders punches would hurt Floyd more than the other way around. So should we just guage by skill? And maybe I misinterpreted your arguement or examples and I by no means do I want to offend you but in short that's my arguement. Weight and skill are both tied together you dont' put a novice with a open fighter and the way to even the playing field or in our case the fight is to take skill and weight and see who wins. We can't go by height and say only six footers and over 200+ can be heavy weight champions. Cause that would exclude Mike Tyson. I'm open to your arguement. Take it out of the box and put it in the ring.Posted August 31, 2012 3:03 pm
Both are FAIR because they are LESS than 20 pounds apart. Thats HOW. They say that a 3 pound difference or even a 1 pound difference is UNFAIR (147lb vs. 148lb) but a 6 pound discrepancy is FAIR. (141lb vs. 147lb) That's called flawed logic…..Pounds is more important than weight class.Posted August 31, 2012 12:51 pm
Anyone that disputes that SKILLS is more important than SIZE must have been born last night. They couldn't have SEEN Pacquiao vs. Margarito, Mosely, and Clottey. And they didn't SEE Haye vs. Chisora. They also didn't SEE Jones Jr. vs. Ruiz and never read about Leonard vs. Hagler….. To sum it ALL UP they need to learn more about Boxing.Posted August 31, 2012 12:42 pm

It'll never happen. Lopez has overstepped his own abilities on this one. Over-confidence will get you hurt in this sport.Posted August 31, 2012 10:47 am
IMHO, Cotto HAS earned the right to FIGHT whoever he wants to whenever he wants to!! Canelo up to this POINT in his career has DONE NOTHING in comparison. Lopez WILL give Canelo a good fight early, but will be WORN down by Canelo as the fight goes on. By the LATE rounds of the fight Lopez will be TOAST!Posted August 31, 2012 10:03 am

Anyone that disputes weight classes has never been hit by a bigger man muchless ever even stepped into a boxing ring or a street fight. Those extra added pounds on a professional fighter that is trained to inflict pain with his fist can be detrimental. Take a one pound hammer and a 3 pound hammer and hit an object with the same amount of force and you'll see the difference (physics my friend) this is just one reason they call it the "Sweet Science".Posted August 31, 2012 8:11 am

Lopez is a pretty good fighter, but he is most effective at Junior Welterweight. He just fought at WW and was lucky to get the win against that quitter Ortiz. He has potential to be very good. Why his handlers would have him fight Alvarez is beyond me. Alvarez will be over 170 come fight time. He is going to overpower Lopez and give him a pretty good beating. I just hope :Lopez will be able to recover after this fight.Posted August 30, 2012 11:43 pm
hey canelo think u can fight someone ur own size next time 'preciate it dudePosted August 30, 2012 11:17 pm
Weights might be irrelevant to people that never actually put on a pair of gloves at the amateur or professional level. If weight didn't matter then Pacman wouldn't be asking his opponents to fight him at a catch weight. Lopez was losing against Ortiz who quits as soon as he gets in trouble. Never an elite fighter. Lopez will lose he has no chance. It's ol to bet with your heart but you will most often lose in this business. Stick to…………… Hockey or basketball where weight doesn't mean a thing…. RightPosted August 30, 2012 9:35 pm
Tomato Can
This fight makes as much sense as the Terry Norris / Meldrick Taylor fight made many years ago. The only thing is, Terry was nice enough to meet Taylor at a 149 pound catch weight. And Terry still made short work of Taylor… I didn't like the idea of that fight, and I don't like the Idea of this one. If Lopez was truly established at 147, and had a fight or two at 154 then I might feel different. The way I see it, is Lopez will try, have moments but end up being too small to hurt Alvarez, and in turn, will take a beating for his efforts.Posted August 30, 2012 9:12 pm
Weight classes are very flawed and irrelevant. Pounds is whats relevant. As long as you weigh in within 20 pounds of each other you should be considered in the same weight class….just think …..they say that a 141 pounder vs a 147 pounder is FAIR. But they say that a 147 pounder vs. a 150 pounder is UNFAIR. How DUMB is that?Posted August 30, 2012 9:07 pm
1st: Margarito wasn't even a top 10 contender for his second fight with Cotto. 2nd: Mayweather picked Cotto not the other way around. 3rd. Martinez said he'd go down to 154 to fight Cotto (or Mayweather or Pacquiao) but Cotto never took the bait. Alvarez has been a big draw for over a year. Cotto never tried to make a fight with him (to my knowledge). And,after Alvarez beat Rhodes last year, he was ranked 4th in the world by Ring Magazine. But Cotto wouldn't fight him. 4th: Who the heck is Ricardo Mayorga? Not even ranked, he possessed no title, yet Cotto fought him. Why? Safety and money. Still Mayorga gave him a run for his money until Cotto stopped him in the last round. I'm a big Miguel Cotto fan, and I wouldn't say he "relentlessly cherry picks" but until Floyd Mayweather Jr. he hadn't fought the best or even a top 10 contender (with the exception of former champ Foreman) in any weight division that he fought in since his fight with Manny Pacquiao in 2009. Cotto could have taken on Lara, or Martirosyan, Trout, or Bundrage. Bundrage has been a champion since 2010. Trout since 2011. All bonifide jr. middleweight contenders. But Cotto picks Margarito and Mayorga. Well, I agree with his revenge fight with Margarito–whether Marg was ranked or not–but Mayorga? So many better choices. Yes, Cotto was cherrypicking, but I wouldn't call it relentless.Posted August 30, 2012 9:05 pm
Who hits harder: Alvarez vs. Ortiz? Alvarez is heavier handed — but flat footed. Ortiz does not have the heavy hands but he is more athletic and has more of his legs and body into each punch. Ortiz can generate a one punch knockdowns — but he has few quality knock-outs. Ortiz has knocked down Maidana, Peterson, Berto but he didn't knock-out any of these guys. Alvarez has few one punch knockdowns. He breaks a guy down over 4-6 rounds with big heavy hands. I think Alvarez hits harder. But it takes more time to do real damage.Posted August 30, 2012 7:32 pm

I would give my Riverside bro a better chance if he had fully aclimated at 147 but, even then to jump to 154 and take on one of the top guys in the division! It's a very guttsy move for Josesito. Although he hung tough with Ortiz, who can bang pretty good in his own right, the question still remains, can Lopez withstand Canelo's fire power? He needs to tighten up his defense because Canelo has better D than Ortiz and the give and take won't be there for him. In all, I say Josesito loses but, gives a good account of himself and his rep loses nothing in a loss. He will probably drop back down to 140 and do well. A question for the knowledable fans, who hits harder, Ortiz or Canelo?Posted August 30, 2012 7:13 pm

Btw, Williams, Kirkland, and Ortiz were Canelo's first choices and In-That-Order. combine that with the lack of a challenge from Cotto and at this point, Alvarez has exercised due diligence in trying to confirm a worthier 154lb matchup. although, considering your low opinion of Alvarez, Lopez appears to have a much better shot at the upset than i ever thought(?!).Posted August 30, 2012 5:37 pm
te tumbo
"Post whatever article u read where Cotto said he doesn't want to fight Canelo"? i was actually referring to the lack of any article or video or even a tweet featuring Cotto challenging Alvarez. otherwise, what's the hold-up? it's the most profitable fight in a division where Cotto has barely scratched the surface. nonetheless, there was an ESB article following Williams' accident reporting that Cotto was hit-up about fighting Alvarez but declined the offer. anyway, if Cotto is truly "great", then he should be challenging the young lion not looking everywhere else but Canelo's direction to cherrpick a much easier payday. however, i don't even buy that Cotto is a legitimate 154lbr. his ring-resume at that weight is proof of that.Posted August 30, 2012 5:32 pm
I would also say that is overall a bad fight for Alvarez, bad for boxing, bad for everybody involved. If Lopez trades with Alvarez and Alvarez beats him down like a dog — then boxing may lose a gutty competitive fighter in Lopez who loses years off his career from a tough beat-down. If that happens then Alvarez will be accused of simply beating a small undersized fighter. If by some miracle, Lopez wins — then it is a disaster for boxing. Alvarez loses to a small undersized fighter. Overall this is too much risk for Lopez — who is too small — and too much risk for Alvarez. It is bad for boxing. Lopez should have gone back to 140 and cleaned up the division winning and dominating against Maidana, Morales, Garcia, Peterson, Khan, and others. He would have been great against those guys. He could then go up to 147 and have great fights. Instead, he takes a huge risk against Alvarez who is basically a light-heavyweight fighter. It is nuts. It is a stupid fight.Posted August 30, 2012 5:05 pm
Skills pay the bills. Courage and guts are helpful — but they are irrelevant if a fighter is outmatched in terms of skills. If Lopez boxes — he has a chance. Alvarez is hittable. Alvarez is heavy. Alvarez has slow feet. Alvarez can be beat by a stick and move fighter. If Lopez boxes and jabs and double jabs and keeps moving he has a chance. If fights with skill and his mind — he has a chance. The problem is that Lopez usually fights with courage and guts. He trades. He gives up his defense. Most fans watching Lopez vs. Ortiz would say that Lopez showed courage and guts and he was competitive — BUT HE WAS LOSING TO ORTIZ. He was losing because he was trading shots with Ortiz. He was losing because he stayed too close to Ortize. If he does the same thing against Alvarez then it is going to be a disaster for Lopez.Posted August 30, 2012 4:59 pm

Lopez is pushing the envelope too far here. He just came up from 140 and now he's going to 154. He's basically fighting out of his division chasing marquee bouts. It worked last time because his opponent is a headcase who quits when the going gets tough. That won't happen with Alvarez.Posted August 30, 2012 4:30 pm

IMO, it's Arum whose trying to upstage DLH. after all, DLH enjoys a long and predictable history of either sheding blood and sweat on September 15 or investing money to commemorate the date. combine that with his cultural heritage and i'd say that DLH has first dibs on that date.Posted August 30, 2012 4:22 pm
Mark my words, Lopez will win tis fight. Canelo is never in a fight where his opponent is punching back, countering, rough housing. He always fight guts wgi are not very aggressive other than cotto. Lopez is determined, can take a punch and hungry.Posted August 30, 2012 3:56 pm

Actually, I'd give the speed category to Lopez. I haven't seen a lot of Canelo's fights, but from what I've seen Lopez has the faster hands – unless moving up in weight slows him down.Posted August 30, 2012 3:07 pm

Relentless cherrypicking? Fighting the #1 p4p fighter in the sport – oh yeah, that's cherrypicking. And how is this relentless? He's had just FOUR fights at that weight – one for the title, one to avenge a loss, and one against the top fighter in the sport. It's easy to hate from a keyboard.Posted August 30, 2012 3:03 pm
Also Lopez beat Ortiz and earned the fight with Alvarez so this fight has merit the challenger has earned the shot by beating the man who was set to fight the ginger cash cow.Posted August 30, 2012 2:50 pm
This isn't a mismatch Lopez stopped Ortiz, he had the power to earn a TKO and he was able to take Ortiz's best shots and keep coming forward. Ortiz at 147 was bigger than most Jr.middleweights, Lopez could be more than competitive in this fight.Posted August 30, 2012 2:48 pm
I like the guts lopez has but he is moving up way too quick..he really needs to stay and clean up his division at his natural weight…he would have some great fights there that would help himself out and really make him legitimate..but its all a set up anyway, how you gonna giva a guy a higher rank in a division hes never fought in…they just trying to give us the jedi mind trick and make people think a junior welterwieght has a punchers chance with a super middleweight…damn i miss the old days, when boxers actually fought the guys they called out insted of being protected from a possible ass whoopingPosted August 30, 2012 2:40 pm
Lopez moving up in weight AGAIN…i dont give him much of a shot…. Canelo by KO in the 5th-6th.Posted August 30, 2012 2:29 pm
Josesito is a good 140lb fighter. He will be fighting at 154 the day of the fight, he will be slower, smaller and out worked by Canelo. Josesito is not Leonard and Canelo is no Lalonde. People keep forgeting that the top fighters today keep facing good names but that comes in a form of a catch-weight or the 'name' fighter is past his prime. Don't buy into the hype this is a business first.Posted August 30, 2012 2:19 pm
None.Posted August 30, 2012 2:09 pm
Agreed. Cotto knows he's a celebrity and he's been picking opponents that will help him to keep that status–even though he lost to FMJ. Cotto hardly has a history of fighting the best in the jr. middleweight division. I'd like to see him do it.Posted August 30, 2012 1:56 pm
Lopez definitely is the highest caliber opponent that Alvarez will have faced but I believe Alvarez is stronger than Josesito and this may pose a problem for him. Over the hill or not, Shane Mosley–when he makes an effort–is no chump; he's a guy who possesses superb boxing skills. Against Mosley, Alvarez showed that he could box with great precision and patience and I believe these are the skills he will need to rely on when he faces Lopez. Regardless, Lopez is going to take it to him. We'll see if Lopez can take what Canelo delivers to him.Posted August 30, 2012 1:54 pm

afterwards, i hope that Cotto finally Steps-Up to the Canelo challenge. i for one have become thoroughly fatigued with Cotto's relentless cherrypicking and artificial 154lb status.Posted August 30, 2012 1:15 pm
te tumbo
Lopez has got a chance because he defeated Ortiz who i also thought had an outside chance of upsetting the bigger Canelo. however, size DOES become a deciding factor in this matchup because Lopez is no Mayweather and he doesn't possess the breakaway skills or talent that have Barely enabled Mayweather to prevail in his only two bouts at 154lbs. if Mayweather can barely pull it off, Lopez will have to miracle his ass past the same 154lb threshold v. Canelo. the other factor that could work in a thorouighly-prepared Lopez's favor is an underprepared and overconfident Alvarez. in which case, Lopez could conceivably outhustle Canelo for a scorecard nod. any broken bones in this matchup will favor Alvarez.Posted August 30, 2012 1:12 pm
I think he LOSES in a Fight thats closer than most people think. SKILLS is more important than SIZE. Just ask Ortiz.Posted August 30, 2012 12:59 pm
Boxtra, whats up? You think Lopez will win?Posted August 30, 2012 12:48 pm
A pretty GOOD chance. He's the BEST Fighter that Canelo has ever faced.Posted August 30, 2012 12:41 pm

Sugar High: Strudel at Feasting Fox

While the menu does offer a few "standard" sandwiches — a meatball sub with Provel and marinara sauce, the "St. Louisan" (mortadella, capicola, salami, ham and Provel) — most are a step above basic deli fare. The "Cajun B.L.T." distinguishes itself with thick, spicy bacon; that bacon, along with avocado and a silky balsamic aioli, elevates the mesquite-turkey sandwich above cold-cut cliché.
Not every combination is an unqualified success. I liked but didn't love a croissant stuffed with thinly sliced prosciutto and a tomato-mascarpone spread and then drizzled with white-truffle oil. The prosciutto and white-truffle oil masked much of the spread's flavor, and the prosciutto was packed so tightly into the croissant that the ham's fattier portions were tough to chew.
I ordered the oven-baked mortadella sandwich warily. I love mortadella and capicola, but here the meats are topped with, yes, Provel. Also atop the meats are a roasted red-pepper aioli and a wonderfully piquant relish of artichoke, tomato and black olive. Not only did these provide an excellent contrast to the flavors of the mortadella and capicola, they also worked well with the creamy Provel.

A sandwich with Provel that I didn't simply tolerate but heartily recommend? It's almost as miraculous as a decent Philly cheesesteak west of the Mississippi.

Minnesota has recorded its second flu-related death of the season. Officials say a woman in her 90s with underlying health problems died of complications from the flu. She was the second Minnesotan to die of the flu in the past two weeks. Hospitalizations due to the flu continue to rise across the state, with more than 120 Minnesotans hospitalized with influenza last week – nearly twice the number of the week before. There were outbreaks in 51 schools across the state as students prepared to go on winter break, including at schools in Sibley, Scott, Carver, Le Sueur and Martin Counties. Only 2 nursing homes reported outbreaks, one of them in Blue Earth County. Health officials say that after several years of unusually mild flu seasons, this season could seem more severe just because it's normal. Last winter there were 33 flu-related deaths reported in Minnesota.

Scott Diamond lost his scoreless streak. He still won his third straight start for the Minnesota Twins, who pounded the Milwaukee Brewers 11-3 on Friday night. Diamond (3-0) gave up a run in the first, ending the 14-inning scoreless stretch he put together in two starts since he was called up from the minors. He went on to give up three runs and eight hits in 5 1-3 innings. Josh Willingham hit a two-run homer, his eighth of the season, Joe Mauer had three hits and three RBIs while Denard Span had four hits and three RBIs for the Twins. Ryan Braun hit his 11th home run for the struggling Brewers, who went 1-3 on a short road trip earlier this week. Milwaukee had four errors. Brewers manager Ron Roenicke made a significant lineup change coming into the game, shifting struggling second baseman Rickie Weeks to the No. 6 spot in the order. Coming into the game, Weeks was batting only .156 with 49 strikeouts. Roenicke moved Corey Hart to the leadoff spot, while Norichika Aoki started...

I want to wish you all a great new year and hope all of your wishes will get true.
But with the new year there is also something different I want to tell you: in the next 6 month (especially the following month) I am going to be not able to create that much art because of time. I have to do national service so there won´t be much leisuretime for my photomanipulations and all those other things. But I am also going to apply to different universities and I hope that I will be able to study software engineering and photography/grafic design from next September. We wil see.
So in the end I can just wish you again a great year.
Stay healthy guys.

FridayŌĆÖs freshman girls game between Sweetwater and Wylie required an extra period, and wasnŌĆÖt settled until the hosts rallied in the final minute to pull out a 34-33 win at WylieŌĆÖs gym.
It was just the fourth loss this season for Sweetwater (1-1 district), which trailed 25-21 after three periods but outscored Wylie 6-2 to force overtime. Kayla Chowning had 10 points for Sweetwater while Shaneese Brown and Taylor McPherson each had seven, Karlee Murff three and Larissa Locklar, Mac-aela Reschman and Sydney Vanderbilt two.
ABILENE ŌĆö On Friday, the Sweetwater girls basketball team jumped out to a 4-0 lead against Wylie in the first 2:47 of the contest and the host team failed to connect on a field goal until almost halfway through the opening period. But after that slow start, Wylie soon found its shooting touch in a big way and won, 63-32, to maintain a perfect 3-0 record in district play while Sweetwater (0-2, 15-12) is still looking for its first win.

Kaleb HooverŌĆÖs 20 points paced Sweetwater, which has lost just once in 15 games this season.
The teams were tied at 10 at the end of the opening period and Wylie led 20-19 at halftime. It was 29-29 going into the fourth and final stanza. Tre Taylor scored eight points and Dylan Bennett and Quentin Wetsel each had four, while Marquees Jenkins had two.
2-point loss to San Angelo Lake View at home just 72 hours earlier and 13 defeats in 15 games since the start of December, the Sweetwater boys basketball team came in as a huge underdog at Wylie for its District 5-3A opener on Friday night.
But while the final result was a 79-55 loss, the short-handed Mustangs (6-15) not only showed plenty of fight but got excellent games from their top two scorers, 6-8 post Paxton Kelley and 5-9 guard Taylor Jones.
Starting today, the games that really count for the Sweetwater boys basketball team begin.
And no one can ac-cuse the Mustangs of easing into district play as they go to Wylie for their 5-3A opener that will tip off at 7:30 p.m.

Dave Dombrowski: No interest in signing Rafael Soriano or trading Porcello… fielding offers on Peralta
Originally written on The Majors Detroit | Last updated 11/29/12
Earlier on in the week it looked as though the Tigers free agent wheels were turning with the news that Tigers owner Mike Ilitch was discussing Rafael Soriano with super agent Scott Boras. And given the working relationship that the longtime Tigers owner and Boras have it seemed almost like a matter of time that a deal would get done and Soriano would be closing games for the Tigers in 2013. However, in a Thursday morning phone call to the Detroit News' Lynn Henning, Tigers general manager Dave Dombrowski denied that the team had any interest in Soriano and that hard throwing pitching prospect Bruce Rondon would get every opportunity in Spring Training to earn the job. Just got off phone with Dombrowski. Made it clear Tigers are NOT shopping for a closer. Will go to camp giving Rondon every shot to win job. — Lynn G. Henning (@Lynn_Henning) November 29, 2012 Dombrowski believes they have back-end insurance in case Rondon isn't ready: Benoit, Dotel, Coke, Alburquerque, etc. Lots of ...

This is where a film is advertised as a {{Horror}} film, but there is no horror. The supernatural elements, monsters, aliens, psycho killers, etc., are a ruse of some kind. Frequently, the heroes just turn out to be schizophrenic or overly paranoid.
This was a major trend in the early American talking pictures; nearly every horror featured the ghosts and ghoulies explained away at the end. It took the one-two punch of ''Film/{{Dracula 1931}}'' and ''Film/{{Frankenstein 1931}}'' to knock the genre out of it.
Compare ThroughTheEyesOfMadness, where the hero's paranoia ''is'' the horror. See also {{Mundanger}}, and ScoobyDooHoax.
Could also overlap with DoingInTheWizard. Not to be confused with a supposed horror film with real monsters that turns out to actually be a dark comedy; for that, you want SlidingScaleOfComedyAndHorror.
* ''Film/AprilFoolsDay''
* ''Film/{{Bug}}''
* ''Catacombs''
* ''Film/CryWolf'' (for the most part)
* ''Film/DonnieDarko'' qualifies as this. Definitely creepy, but never outright horror, despite every poster and trailer of this movie making it look like a slasher with a bunny serial killer.
* ''Film/HideAndSeek'', the darker alternate ending would have definitely put it into horror territory though.
* ''Film/{{Session 9}}''. Or not...
* ''Franchise/ScoobyDoo'' - Though subverted in the animated and live action films, in which the monsters are actually real.
* ''Film/TheVillage''
* ''Film/{{Shrooms}}'', although its also a case of TomatoSurprise.
* ''Film/TheUninvited2009'' is a perfect example of this trope. [[spoiler: Turns out there is no ghost, no monster, the stepmother is not a crazy psycho murderer. Creator/EmilyBrowning's character is just nutso.]]
** Likewise its South Korean inspiration, ''Film/ATaleOfTwoSisters''. [[spoiler: [[SubvertedTrope Except not]]. There actually ''is'' something supernatural, and we have no idea what it is exactly ([[OurDemonsAreDifferent Demon]]? StringyHairedGhostGirl? HumanoidAbomination?) nor how much influence it had on events prior to its appearance in the last minute of film.]]
* Possible TropeMaker: ''Film/TheCabinetOfDrCaligari''.
* ''Stay'' (2005)
* Obscure [[TheEighties 80's]] horror film ''The Slayer''. After the protagonists are picked off one by one without a monster ever showing up it was pretty obvious one of them is the killer, probably via TomatoSurprise. In fact ''Kay'' [[spoiler: (the FinalGirl) is almost set up this way, Until the actual ''Slayer'' monster thing shows up at the front door during the last few seconds of the film. The appearance of an actual monster was jarring, since people expected there was none. Although among the small cult following it's highly debated whether or not the monster was real due to the MindScrew nature of the flick]].
* Played straight then subverted in the Thai horror film ''Who Are You''.
* ''Film/TheLastExorcism'' Played this cynically straight. [[spoiler: Until the last 5 minutes or so, where it fantastically subverts this. Turning it into RealAfterAll]]. Likely the main reason for its CriticalDissonance.
* ''Film/ShutterIsland''
* ''Film/{{Volver}}'', a rather hilarious (and sad) example.
* ''Film/BlackSwan''
* ''The Last Horror Film''
* ''Lost Signal''
* ''Film/TakeShelter'':...''Maybe''
* ''Film/TheTallMan'': Is a blatant example of this trope, marketing and all.
* ''Film/MonsterAGoGo'': "But there was no monster!" [[Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000 Joel and the bots]] were not amused. Especially since ''we actually saw the monster on screen killing people'', yet apparently it never existed. And none of this is ever explained, resulting in the film just becoming [[MindScrew completely incomprehensible]]
* The remake of ''Film/DarkWater'' was sold as horror but was actually a drama with supernatural elements. The director went on to disown the released version as the studio insisted on more scares and less drama.
* ''Film/HouseOnHauntedHill1959''
[[folder:Western Animation]]
* ScoobyDooMysteryIncorporated: Appears that they like to have it both ways.
** Interestingly enough the schemes in nearly all of the Scooby Doo series are so elaborate the shows manages to go into SciFi territory.

Smarten up with the Nixon Intelligence Military Jacket. This savvy trench has no time for convention; it offers a tough-girl canvas outer and a soft chambray lining that glides over your clothes. Gathers at the waistline and a drawcord at the hem add some shape, while a chin-high collar gives you something to snuggle your chin into when the wind kicks up during nighttime operations.

Love the jacket but quality/fit not there.
I absolutely loved all the features and color of this jacket. The design was great. However, twice I had to return because the snaps were missing and the sizing was off. That's a quality issue. Also, the sizing is not right. It doesn't fit in the chest/shoulder area. The rest of the jacket was fine but the chest area was too small and I'm not that big. Makes me wonder if it should be labelled as a Men's jacket. If you're really small across the chest and shoulders, this will probably work for you.

Manual resource provisioning is often a time-consuming and error-prone process. To mitigate the problems that crop up, such as VM performance degradation, many admins turn to automated provisioning techniques.
Hypervisor features such as Dynamic Memory, memory ballooning and transparent page sharing make up part of the automation technique list. These techniques aim to identify unused memory within a VM that can be reclaimed and allocated for other VMs to use.
VMware Distributed Resource Scheduler (DRS) also enables automation. The tool tweaks VM resources and shuffles workloads between servers for optimization based on established IT rules and policies.
In general, automating VM resource allocation allows administrators to focus their time and efforts on more strategic projects. Automation should never be an excuse to avoid management tasks such as workload performance monitoring or load balancing. These practices often provide the basis for rules and policies needed to drive automation. IT professionals must evaluate changing trends to make appropriate changes to allocation rules.

How automation tools can help your job security
VM provisioning with new automation tools
Regardless of how you allocate computing resources to a VM, it's important to employ prudent and practical judgment. Don't attempt exact resource allocation. Instead, provide extra memory or CPU capacity; that leeway can accommodate unexpected spikes in resource demand. You should also use common sense when consolidating servers. A fully utilized server cannot accommodate failover workloads from other systems, and may not even have enough resources to adjust for shortages. Provisioning spare capacity will prevent workload disruptions.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by Tombahamhorse59 Very light weight and comfortable I like these pants because the light weight material is like wearing a second skin. The back pockets are stylish and the waist comes up a little higher than some pants to make your legs look a little longer. I am 5'9", 178 lbs , 32" waist, the pants are a little loose in the waist and butt area but still look good. February 27, 2015

Rated 5 out of 5Â by BahamasOnMyMind Most Comfortable Pants Ever Really like these pants. Before buying, I read some of these reviews and they helped me decide to buy. Pants arrived quickly and looked promising right from the start. Waist and length seems true to size. Had to have them hemmed because my length falls right in the middle of two sizes . . . a service easily done at a local Tommy Bahama store. I've worn them just 3 times, haven't laundered them yet. They are so comfortable, I would like to wear them every day and will purchase more of different color. February 7, 2015

Two ways to deploy Windows Azure Pack

There are two modes to deploy Windows Azure Pack: express mode and distributed mode. Although there are similarities, the purpose of each mode is distinctly different.
The express deployment is capable of installing Windows Azure Pack components on one system using the Web Platform Installer. The advantage of having an express deployment is its simplicity and limited hardware commitment. It's an ideal case for testing or doing proof-of-concepts deployments in a low-traffic lab setting, but do not use express deployments for production. As a rule, it's a good idea to also provision at least one optional service, such as Web Sites or virtual machines (VMs), to another machine to actually test the behaviors of Windows Azure Pack in a lab.
By comparison, Windows Azure Pack is intended for a distributed deployment -- spreading a variety of components across multiple systems or VMs -- so the distributed deployment is intended for production. There is no rule for combining VMs on physical servers, so virtualized systems may need a decent amount of performance tuning and workload balancing to optimize how you install Windows Azure Pack. Don't overlook the need to protect the install with snapshots or backups.
Once an organization has mastered virtualization, the next step is increasingly to take advantage of cloud computing -- bringing in self-service, automation, virtual machines and other capabilities to the organization. Windows Azure Pack builds on existing Microsoft infrastructure, such as Windows Server 2012 R2 and System Center, to enable services for organizations seeking to serve as cloud providers. But if you deploy Windows Azure Pack, remember that the move demands ample proof-of-principle testing and evaluation to ensure adequate stability, performance and integrity for the business and its end users.

Originally written on The Fantasy Fix | Last updated 3/15/13
Photo by: BeGreen90 Aaron Hicks is an outfield prospect for the Minnesota Twins who may have just officially changed his adjective description from prospect to "rookie". Going into the 2013 season Hicks was rated the 98th best prospect in baseball by mlb.com, but a strong spring campaign and a weak level of competition for the job may have just vaulted the 23 year old to "The Show" as the starting center fielder at Target Field. Hicks is mashing it in Grapefruit League play this spring. In 38 at bats he has 7 extra-base hits including 4 homeruns and 13 RBI while hitting .342, and carrying an OPS of 1.087. Now we all know spring training stats are often considered negligible and not the best crystal ball for that player's upcoming season, but any way you slice it, it helps people win jobs in the end, and that appears to be the case here with Hicks. Hicks has demonstrated consistent levels of play as he has moved through the Twins farm system. For example, fangraphs.com shows us ...
