Another fps games.....
Looks cooler then it did before- they're doing some interesting stuff here. It's a real shame this game is going to fail.
That's just a prediction, though. All the talk around the older fans of XCom think this is a travesty so they may not buy it, and I'm only going to guess based on other interesting titles like Singularity not being so successful that the people who don't know XCom wont buy it in large enough numbers to really say this game is a success.
I want it for the novelty. To me it's going to be an interesting experiment in design. When we first saw it it was all about black goo- now they have this max headroom approach to stuff (possession) that looks a lot more interesting. If this game does ever come out I want to be able to say I played it.
I wonder how shifting design ideas and them not seeming to know what they want from this is going to affect the overall final product. I don't know why, but I find it fascinating.

another shooter
That said, just visually judging this game, it does not look very nice. Am I nuts? Some of the effects are impressive but the ground and wall textures kind of jumped out at me as looking pretty low-quality.
Still on my radar though
Wow, that was eye opening, forgot how much X-com was like tron. And they seem to have diverted away from the goo creatures which looked cool in the previous trailers too. "Nope we're gonna go with a Tron of Duty: Group Fortress 2 motif, get out of my office and wipe that originality off your face". Whereas previously was a sense of enthusiasm and mystery to whether 2K could make a FPS X-Com, now is just terminal indifference.
Thought this would be more investigating & narrative; akin to some sort of L.A Noire X-files with added Goo creatures. *Sad Face*
It looks dated a year before release and the "enemies" or space cube men look less characterised than Keanu Reeves in [insert film here].
I think all I am trying to say is...

A video game where I get to defend the USA from alien invasion in a first person perspective? What a novel idea!
With the inner child that calls out for turned based squad combat dying, there is hope that the story progression and developement is enough to keep this game on the radar. People who don't know about X-Com will probably dismiss this game as just another shooter. Hopefully people who remember back to 1994 and 486 computers will find that there is something of an homage to the original game to cling on to.
Not going to judge a game by a trailer, will wait for the reviews and also hear what my friends have to say about it.
That said, it isn't a very good trailer.
EDIT: Gotta say though, I love the fact that you can turn enemy weapons against the aliens, just like you did in X-COM. That rotating circle of death is awesome.
As an old school fan, I'm actually not completely jaded on this reboot yet. X-Com had two distinct layers; the tactical turn based combat and the geoscape management. If you put this game in the same turns, they've replaced the turn based combat with FPS, but what I'm really interested in is the strategic overlay between missions that links it together. They've hinted and mentioned things, but haven't really gone into detail about base management, research, etc. Those are the elements that will set this game apart from other shooters, and will make or break the game entirely. But if they handle it well, and if the action is actually fun to play, it could be amazing.

Looks pretty incredible. I'm glad they're taking the gameplay in a fresh direction, if just because pandering to the original XCOM players at this point is kind useless, as they're probably all stubborn old bastards by now anyway :)
Judging from the trailer and stuff I heard this game looks to be a feast of interesting ideas and scenery, and sweetjesus the art direction is al kinds of magical! Definitely something unique here - how you can manage that from a reboot is beyond me.

This, and I really wish they didn't feel the need to slap the X-Com name on it. From the looks of the trailer, it doesn't appear that it is going to do the name any favors.

Goshen After five weeks of testimony in the Christopher Porco murder trial, the whereabouts of the defendant in the early morning hours of Nov. 15 still remain in doubt.
On Friday, July 28, Porco's uncle, John Balzano said his nephew told him he was sleeping in the student lounge at the University of Rochester's Munro Hall dorm overnight on Nov. 14 and 15 when the attack on his parents Peter and Joan Porco occurred. Peter Porco died from the attacks and Joan was severely injured. Christopher Porco is on trial for murder and attempted murder.
Balzano's testimony of the defendant's whereabouts that night, in Porco's own words, is consistent with testimony received earlier in the week from Johnathan Porco.
He told me he was at school sleeping in the common room in his fraternity, stated Johnathan Porco to jurors.
Fraternity buddies and residents of Munro Hall in 2004, Joshua Felver-Gant and Gregory Whiteside already testified they did not see Christopher Porco sleeping in the student lounge that night.
In the days following the attacks, Porco told several students he gave his dorm bed up for an out-of-town guest from his fraternity, and he would sleep in the student lounge.
Marshal Crumiller is the last person to identify Porco's whereabouts on Sunday evening, Nov. 14, 2004. The two ate dinner at a restaurant close to the campus before Crumiller left Porco at 10 p.m.
Prior testimony Crumiller gave the jury is that Porco was going to do yard work for his aunt and uncle, John and Barbara Balzano, who live in Fairport, a suburb of Rochester. Barbara Balzano earlier testified that Porco never came the next day nor was he asked that day or ever to do yard work for them.
John Balzano stated during pre-trial testimony that he picked up the defendant from school on the afternoon of Nov. 15 and drove him to Albany Medical Center to see his mother Joan Porco, Balzano's sister.

Press release from CNW Group
Monday, September 13, 2010
STERLING ANNOUNCES SUCCESSFUL WELL TEST AT CLADHAN02:00 EDT Monday, September 13, 2010CALGARY, Sept. 13 /CNW/ - Sterling Resources Ltd. (TSX-V:SLG) ("Sterling" or the "Company") is pleased to announce successful test results for the Cladhan well 210/29a-4z, for which the initial drilling success was previously announced on August 30th. The Drill Stem Test (DST) of the well has been conducted by perforating the interval at a Measured Depth (MD) of 10,806 to 10,869 feet. The well was flowed for a total of nearly 18.7 hours, over which 13 hours were stabilised at an average rate of 5,903 barrels of 34 degree API oil per day on a 28/64 inch fixed choke, with a final wellhead pressure of 1,874 psig.The original discovery well 210/29a-4 was drilled in November 2008 to a depth of 9,734 feet MD and discovered oil bearing sands in an Upper Jurassic stratigraphic trap. An updip sidetrack was drilled 11,215 feet MD, encountering a gross hydrocarbon column of 159 feet, with 102 feet of net hydrocarbon bearing sandstones compared to the discovery well, which had 31 feet of net pay."These are truly excellent well test results, especially considering we have only perforated half of the net pay in the well. We also had to constrain the flow rate of the well due to limitations on the maximum capacity of the surface separation equipment, and also due to the small diameter of the DST tools and 3 1/2 inch tubing used while testing. Our analysis of the performance of the well indicates that with a larger 4 1/2 inch completion tubing, the well is capable of producing over 15,000 barrels of oil per day," stated John Rapach, Sterling's Chief Operating Officer. "I would like to thank all of our staff and contractors that have helped to make Cladhan a success story so far," added Mr. Rapach."Certainly this is a solid first step towards development of the field, with exceptional production rates from a high quality well," noted Mike Azancot, Sterling's President and CEO. "Now we need to ascertain the scale of the development by drilling downdip of the current well through a second sidetrack operation which will commence later this week," added Mr. Azancot.Sterling holds a 39.9% interest in Cladhan and is the operator of the License P1064. Partners are Wintershall (UK North Sea) Ltd 33.5 %, Encore Petroleum Ltd 16.6 % and Dyas UK Ltd 10%.Sterling Resources Ltd. is a Canadian-listed international oil and gas company headquartered in Calgary, Alberta with assets in the United Kingdom, Romania and France.

Reese had a mild flat spot on one side of her head (not related to DS but positioning in utero). When she was an infant, we took her to get evaluated for a helmet to re-shape her head. I remember that they took x-rays to rule out a condition where the skull fuses prematurely. Her x-ray for this came back negative but it was my understanding that this condition would have been treatable through surgery. I have no idea if or how you can tell this through an ultrasound of a 17 week old fetus. I hope you get some answers soon.

If Dunn is traded thats an obvious message to the fans how much obrien and ownership has failed to show that the future is bright and the orginization is progressing in a positive light.
Geez! Isn't there a seminar or something that DOB and DM could go to in order to learn how to run/manage a baseball team? They have them for everything else!
Maybe a "How to Manage a Baseball Team for Dummies" book.

Where are all you coming up with this clubbing to 4am and stuff like that BS. Also playing video games till 4am? Give me a break you guys are just throwing crap around to attempt to make a point.
The fact of the matter is Dunn is the best reds' hitter since Eric Davis. He has had an OBP over .350 since since 2001, over .370 every season but but 1 during that span, he is a threat for 40+ homeruns a year, a .906 career OPS, scores close to 100 runs a year and is probabably a good bet to drive in atleast 100 runs every year. He is also average at the worst in the field. He has shifted from RF, LF, and 1B with minimal complaint (1B he does complain some but still does it)
I have always heard he is a very mellow guy. Love fishing, doesn't like the big city hoopla (quoted n saying that in SI 2 weeks ago.) Also in that magazine article said CIncinnati was perfect for him because of it's size and he wouldn't want to be in a NY market.
So basically the only thing you have on him in BA, which i think is negated by OBP (BA is the most overrated stat in baseball), his K's, sac flies, and video games.
SO basically you got little...
so why r we considering trading him? Oh yea... because we are the reds
I think you may be over reacting. The information in your first paragraph above was provided by an extremely reliable poster who does have inside information.Originally Posted by The_jbh
However, having said that... if you go back and re-read the thread, no one was "throwing crap around" to make a point. Most, if not all, were saying that true or untrue, they didn't see it as a problem. He does work nights after all and still has plenty of time to get his beauty sleep.
One more thing.... just because he fishes doesn't mean he doesn't also like to party. But if his partying doesn't get in the way of his baseball, most don't care. BTW, no one said anything about him clubbing until 4 am.
Relax; no one is spreading crap about Adam.

The application also features a new search function that makes it easier for users to navigate content on 4oD. The new search feature also makes its debut on the iPad app.
Peter Dolukhanov, Nice Agency's joint managing director, said: "Thanks to the iPhone's Retina display, the quality of the video image was never going to be a problem.
"The screen size did, however, pose the challenge of how to transfer the look and feel of the iPad and desktop experience to the iPhone's 3.5-inch display, while ensuring that the app is quick and easy to navigate."
The launch of the new app comes just two days after Channel 4 revamped 4oD on Channel4.com.
The 4oD revamp added a predictive search and viewer-driven recommendations, to improve the discoverability of content, and My 4oD, where registered users can access a number of enhanced elements.
The extras available through the personalisation service include: creating playlists of episodes and scheduling an evening's viewing; a comprehensive history of what has been viewed; saved favourites, and remainders about new episodes of favourite shows.
In addition, the 4oD player has been redesigned so that users can now discover related and viewer-recommended shows, and access a range of options without having to leave the full-screen mode.
The broadcaster revealed that 215 million long-form videos had been viewed on the player in the first half of 2011, across all platforms.
Channel 4 was the first broadcaster to launch a video-on-demand service, in 2006, and 4oD, as a commercial VoD platform, is now available online via YouTube, iTunes and on TV platforms via Virgin Media, BT Vision and TalkTalk.
In December, Channel 4 also secured a deal to put 4oD on Sony's PlayStation 3 games console.

Satire in Turkey
Not all satire is created equal. Despite the familiar style of Karikatür's illustrations, this 1930s Turkish satiric journal includes its share of right and left (centrist) humor attacking politicians at home and the evils abroad, as well as fostering false threats and racial enmity.

There's something oddly funny about Paul Krassner. And it's been going on for more than 50 years.

Binghamton, NY [December 18, 2012] – Emerson Network Power, a business of Emerson (NYSE:EMR) and a global leader in protecting and optimizing critical infrastructure, has introduced two new surge protection devices specifically designed to provide greater assurance and safety for critical surveillance system components. The EdcoTM CP-24 and Edco HVCP-48-BNC are new additions to Emerson Network Power's comprehensive surveillance surge protection solutions that encompass closed circuit television (CCTV) cameras, data, video and DC power.
The new Edco CP-24 surge suppresor safeguards the DC power input to security cameras, and features quick-snap installation for power applications up to 24 VDC. The Edco CP-24 requires no additional wiring and can simply be plugged in directly, or in series, at a camera's power terminal. High-speed silicon avalanche diode (SAD) technology clamps high-energy transients that can damage CCTV equipment. For an even more comprehensive solution, the Edco CCTV-1 can be added to protect the camera's BNC video input.
Also introduced was the Edco HVCP-48-BNC combination unit, a hybrid surge protection product offering a three-part solution to safeguard data, video input, and DC power. Featuring separate circuits, the Edco HVCP-48-BNC can handle high-current impulses while simultaneously clamping transients and allowing critical power and data to be transmitted.
"The Edco CP-24 and HVCP-48-BNC products advance the level of protection available to our surveillance customers," said Eric Marshall, director of sales & marketing, Surge Protection, Emerson Network Power. "They each deliver unsurpassed performance, streamline installation and operation. For example, the Edco HVCP-48-BNC does the work of what would have previously required three separate devices. It's simply a smarter, more streamlined approach."
Both products have been added to Emerson Network Power's extensive portfolio of surge protection for surveillance solutions. As equipment failure within a surveillance system can prevent capture of critical information – and create potential safety and liability risks – Emerson Network Power has identified surge hot spots within surveillance systems, and developed products to specifically address these risks. The company has made a useful brochure available, in PDF format, that can be downloaded at no cost: Surge Protection for Surveillance Systems.
For additional information about the Edco CP-24 and Edco HVCP-48-BNC products, visit www.EmersonNetworkPower.com/surge.

text: The TPB wiki last edited by Thor_Ul on 06/28/15 06:19PM View full history In 1985, DC Comics dramatically altered comics' original universe with Crisis on Infinite Earths - an unforgettable, defining event in comics history that streamlined DCU continuity forever. Nine years later, the heroes of the DCU found the temporal fabric of their new reality unraveling, and the biggest threat since the Crisis was about to be revealed. Zero Hour: Crisis in Time collects this landmark event. Written and pencilled by Dan Jurgens (SUPERMAN: DAY OF DOOM) and inked by Jerry Ordway (JLA/PLANETARY, WONDER WOMAN), Zero Hour chronicles the discovery by DC's greatest heroes of a tidal wave of temporal disruptions, as they band together to combat chronal chaos. A thousand years in the future, other heroes face even greater havoc. Villainy is afoot, as criminal masterminds ten centuries apart try to take advantage of time's shattered visage for their own purposes. But each of them, hero and villain alike, may be nothing more than a pawn in the schemes of the ultimate time villain, whose machinations are on a scale beyond imagining!

Puck Daddy Power Rankings: Mike Richards, bad free-agent deals, NHL buyoutsRyan Lambert at Puck Daddy 1 day ago
[Author's note: Power rankings are usually three things: Bad, wrong, and boring. You typically know just as well as the authors which teams won what games against who and what it all means, so our moving the Red Wings up four spots or whatever really doesn't tell you anything you didn't know. Who's hot, who's not, who cares? For this reason, we're doing a power ranking of things that are usually not teams. You'll see what I mean.]
9. Trading for Zac Rinaldo
Don Sweeney had a bad weekend. No two ways about it. So he's swimming around, looking for a life preserver that will improve his team. Then he promptly grabs the nearest trillion-ton weight and sinks to the bottom of the ocean silently screaming, "Courage!" into a cold, ink-black void.
8. The difference between "bad" and "overrated"
Today is the day when a lot of bad contracts will be signed, but contrary to popular opinion in the hockey world these days, a player with a bad contract is not a bad player.
7. Going with two goalies
6. The Devan Dubnyk contract
5. Dean Lombardi
4. The Hall of Famers
3. Buyout bargains
How competitive can Buffalo Sabres be next season? (Trending Topics)Ryan Lambert at Puck Daddy 2 days ago
Tim Murray is a smart guy and the Sabres are clearly still in something of a rebuild mode. But given the moves this weekend, the end-date on that was moved up considerably.
People who would consider the Sabres " contenders " headed into next season are currently using a new and interesting definition of the word, but there's no doubt at all that this is a roster which has been significantly improved in a very short period of time. And how it all came together was genius.
That, by the way, is the benefit of doing what Murray did since he took the job: Trading everything that isn't nailed down, and some stuff that is, gets you a lot of draft picks and prospects.
Of course, that doesn't take into account that Kane comes pre-signed at a high dollar value, or that O'Reilly needs a new and likely expensive contract, nor does it count that the Sabres gave up Tyler Myers, Nikita Zadorov, Mikhail Grigorenko, and other assets. But proven, quality NHL players — even with high dollar values — are worth more than most high picks and good prospects.
What We Learned: NHL Draft report cards (and Boston's near failure)Ryan Lambert at Puck Daddy 3 days ago
The first thing you have to say about what the Bruins have done this offseason is that it's all an overreaction.
Were they an elite team to the level they had been from, say, 2010-2014? No, obviously not. Many of the bad habits they picked up during that time — trading very useful or even great players, overpaying depth, believing that their "identity" was what made them effective, etc. — festered and eventually infected the organizational brain.
But luck was certainly a factor in what has driven more or less every decision in this bizarre summer. Last season, they went 4-10 in the shootout. That's a luck problem, because you're supposed to go about .500, because you're supposed to shoot about 30-33 percent; the Bruins shot 15 percent, second-worst in the league behind only — you guessed it — unlucky Los Angeles.
Tuukka Rask also posted the worst save percentage he's seen in four seasons. And while .922 is still in the upper echelon of the league (and you really can't legitimately ask for better than .922 from anyone), that also played a role.
Or, rather, was.
But this, whatever this is, shows a lack of direction and, perhaps, understanding.
Gold Star Award
Measuring the real impact of NHL's new 3-on-3 overtime (Trending Topics)Ryan Lambert at Puck Daddy 6 days ago
Earlier this week, the NHL announced that its five minutes of 4-on-4 overtime would, instead, be replaced by five minutes of 3-on-3 for the coming season as a means of reducing the number of shootouts.
This is a good idea because the shootout is bad, and it stands to reason that more goals will be scored at 3-on-3 than 4-on-4. Remember, the AHL went to a sort of hybrid format for this past season: three minutes of 4-on-4 before another four of 3-on-3, then the shootout if nothing was decided.
And with that system — which the NHL did not fully adopt — 75 percent of overtime games were decided before the shootout became an option. That was more than double the previous season. So effectively, that shows how effective this can be in getting rid of the shootout which, again, is stupid and bad.
If you're wondering, that means that only about 74 games out of the league's 1,230 next season would go to a shootout. You'd much rather have that than the current 158 or so.
But basically, the takeaway here is that the NHL currently sees a shootout once in every 7.5 games (13 percent). The new format will reduce that number to a little less than once per nine games (11.7 percent).
Best and worst (but mostly worst) of the 2015 NHL Awards ShowRyan Lambert at Puck Daddy 7 days ago
The Oscars, the Emmys, the Grammys, the Tonys, the Golden Globes the BAFTAs, the SAG Awards, the Directors Guild Awards, the Independent Spirit Awards, the Writers Guild Awards, the MTV Movie Awards, the MTV Video Music Awards, the Peabody Awards, the Teen Choice Awards, the People's Choice, the Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards, the ESPYs, the Webbys, the CMAs, the AMAs, the Billboard Awards, the iHeartRadio Music Awards, the Daytime Emmys, the Cable Ace awards.
This is an incomplete list of all the awards shows that are 100 percent guaranteed to be more interesting and entertaining than the NHL Awards, and you can say that even with the full understanding that they haven't awarded a Cable Ace Award since 1997 (shout out to Kel Mitchell for somehow beating out the entire leading cast of "The Larry Sanders Show" for best actor in a comedy series). This, like every year, was drudgery of the worst kind. Bland, boring, bad.
Here's the thing: Almost no other sport does a show like this.
Not one.

Well we're about a week away from July 1 and while there's a lot of stuff to talk about in the next seven days, the fact that a lot of places are leading their "Here are what we consider the top free agent forwards" list with Matt freakin' Beleskey should tell you everything you need to know about what a snoozefest the Free Agent Frenzy [sic] is going to be on July 1.

How will Sharks GM Doug Wilson try to save his job now? (Trending Topics)Ryan Lambert at Puck Daddy 9 days ago
Things have not been good in San Jose for the last two seasons. First they infamously drop a 3-0 series lead to eventual Cup champions Los Angeles, then they wholly fail to qualify for the playoffs. The one begets the other.
If the Sharks win one of the four games they lost to the Kings, we're not sitting here having a conversation about, "What's wrong with the Sharks?" because it's wholly likely nothing is wrong with the Sharks. As has happened so many times in the past, a team suffered a miserable defeat and panicked. That's all. Doug Wilson saw his team blow a 3-0 series lead to a lower-seeded team that also happened to be a division rival, and determined that what went wrong was not "The Kings are just so good that it was unavoidable," or "That was some terrible luck for our very-good-to-great team," or a combination of the two. He determined that what went wrong was he hadn't acquired enough players like John Scott, Mike Brown, and Scott Hannan.
These are not mutually exclusive ideas.
And here's Wilson on that issue:

What We Learned: What is Cam Talbot actually worth?Ryan Lambert at Puck Daddy 10 days ago
(Hello, this is a feature that will run through the entire season and aims to recap the weekend's events and boils those events down to one admittedly superficial fact or stupid opinion about each team. Feel free to complain about it.
The New York Rangers have made it quite clear that, due in large part to their current cap crunch, the bidding is open on backup goaltender Cam Talbot.
At first blush, it seems like acquiring Talbot would be a good move, and the rumors are flying that as many as six or seven teams have an interest in acquiring his services. Certainly, his only two seasons at the NHL level — playing as a backup/injury fill-in for Henrik Lundqvist — seem to portend that he's capable of being an NHL starter, but that comes with the caveat that we have very little information about what Talbot can actually do at the NHL level (he has only faced a little fewer than 3,350 shots) over 57 career games.
But the numbers wouldn't have predicted that this would end up being the case; in fact, what he's done over his entire career actually puts Talbot to shame:
But basically, it's a good time to be in the market for a potential starting goalie.
What We Learned
Let's talk about offer sheets (Trending Topics)Ryan Lambert at Puck Daddy 13 days ago
With the salary cap either barely rising, holding steady, or maybe even falling a bit, the buzzards are already circling.
Several teams — successful teams — are facing cap issues, and all of them have restricted free agents to re-sign. As such, fans of many cash-strapped teams and pundits alike are wringing their hands in glee over the possibility of weaker teams acquiring young, tantalizing talent for the price of the money on the deal and a few draft picks. It's the same every summer, of course, because you always have a wish list on hand and it's a sexy, swashbuckling idea.
"You just swoop in and get the guy you want."
But we all say that every summer knowing that these offer sheets are rare. In the salary cap era, only eight have actually been signed (we don't know if, say, P.K. Subban was advanced one but didn't sign it, because that kind of thing doesn't get publicized) and only three of those have come since 2010. The reason it seems we're getting so worked up about it now is the quality of guys who look like they could be available.
Puck Daddy Power Rankings: Corey Crawford truthers, Glendale, NHL AwardsRyan Lambert at Puck Daddy 15 days ago
[Author's note: Power rankings are usually three things: Bad, wrong, and boring. You typically know just as well as the authors which teams won what games against who and what it all means, so our moving the Red Wings up four spots or whatever really doesn't tell you anything you didn't know. Who's hot, who's not, who cares? For this reason, we're doing a power ranking of things that are usually not teams. You'll see what I mean.]
8. Ben Bishop's injury (again)
Turns out he tore his groin in Game 2 and played on anyway. He had a .939 save percentage in Games 4-6.
So here's a question: Do groins actually matter? I'll hang up and take your answer off-air.
7. Corey Crawford truthers
Can we please can it with the Chris Osgood comparisons for this guy? Osgood was basically always a poor goaltender who happened to be on one of the greatest pre-salary cap assemblages of talent ever, and he actively hurt them even if it wasn't apparent. Put another way, the Red Wings probably would have won more Cups if they'd employed anyone but Chris Osgood. For his entire career, his save percentage is a point or two below league-average.
6. Glendale

NEW YORK — Despite cold weather and long lines, hundreds of aspiring actors swept into Manhattan's famed Knitting Factory for the open casting call for the upcoming musical "Spider-Man: Turn off the Dark."
"Today we're looking for — it may sound cliché — but someone who's going to really pop," casting director Bernie Telsey told MTV News. "And what I mean by that is they're going to have the sort of voice that's just going to be so original and make you want to keep listening to."
The event was one of six held nationally by producers in hopes of filling the roles of hero Peter Parker, girlfriend Mary-Jane Watson and an unnamed female villain. Helmed by "Across the Universe" director Julie Taymor, the musical features lyrics and songs by U2's Bono and The Edge and will open on Broadway in 2010.
Telsey, who has cast such award-winning fare as "In the Heights," "Equus" and "Wicked," said that only a select few of the 300 hopefuls at this call will have the skills he's seeking. At one point, he was considering Adam Lambert to play Peter , but then "American Idol" grabbed the theatrical singer first. For this production, Telsey said he wants a greater rock-and-roll bent than usual, and that's precisely what attracted many of the day's participants.
"I really like Spider-Man, and they said it was going to be a lot of belty-rock kind of stuff," one member of the crowd exclaimed before giving us a taste of his singing chops.
"Specifically, it's gotta be a rock and a pop sound that very much matches the Bono and Edge kind of music," Telsey explained. "[That's] different than most musical-theater projects we worked on. So that's what we're looking for: someone who's just has that sort of soaring voice."
Whoever winds up wearing the iconic red-and-blue tights will be embodying more than a simple character, they'll be representing a symbol for hope and justice. "He's the hero that everybody wants to be," said Josh, an aspiring actor. "There's a little bit of that in everybody. It's a very appealing role to kind of envision yourself as."
Having already visited four cities, the casting tour will next head to Chicago on May 7 and Austin, Texas, on May 27.
"Spider-Man: Turn off the Dark" will hit the stage February 18, 2010.

- Mesi went down on one knee in the eighth round from a rabbit punch to the back of the head thrown by Jirov.
- Jirov was not penalized, and Mesi did not recover from that point on.
- Mesi was down once in the 9th and twice in the 10th.

NOAA is on track to launch its Joint Polar Satellite System in early 2017, agency administrator Kathryn Sullivan told a House panel last week, but there is no estimate for the length of a potential gap in satellite coverage that could occur if current systems fail before the launch takes place.
"I'm not even focusing on what the best guess is, because it's all so fluid. Statistical analyses can be slanted or come up with all sorts of answers," said Sullivan at a May 1 hearing of the House Science, Space and Technology Environment Subcommittee. "I'm focusing on managing the asset we have to protract its life, and stick the launch date," she said.
NOAA is seeking a $95.4 million increase in the JPSS-1 budget for fiscal 2015, and an additional $39.9 million for its Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite R-Series program. Overall, the agency is seeking $5.5 billion in funding.
The Government Accountability Office warned of a potential gap in polar satellite coverage in the 2013 edition of its high-risk list. Thomas Young, a former NASA scientist and chair of independent review commissioned by NOAA, said last November that despite an effective mitigation program there is still "an unacceptably high risk of a gap that could be months or years in duration."
Sullivan said that NOAA was examining what additional data sources could be added to the agency's forecasting toolkit in the event of a coverage gap, to lessen the impact on weather reporting. One of these is the Constellation Observing System for Meteorology, Ionosphere and Climate system, a partnership with Taiwan dubbed COSMIC-2, which is scheduled to deploy beginning in 2016. Sullivan said that "having COSMIC-2 on orbit providing those data was highlighted in our independent report as one of the most effective things we could do to lessen degradation in forecasts" created by a gap in polar satellite coverage.
NOAA is also facing IT headwinds from the planned sale of IBM's x86 server division to Lenovo, a Chinese tech firm. NOAA has funding in place to acquire a weather supercomputer from IBM, but the potential for Chinese ownership has raised red flags, and the procurement has not moved forward amid a review by the Treasury. In the meantime, Sullivan observed, NOAA has lagged behind European weather forecasters in some cases because of their superior supercomputing speed and performance.
NOAA recently announced the successful test of a key JPSS-1 component, the Clouds and the Earth's Radiant Energy System, which measures light and heat reflected by the Earth for use in forecasting events such as the El Nino and La Nina weather systems.
The agency is still awaiting delivery of four principal JPSS-1 components, including an infrared imaging system, a microwave and infrared sounder that capture temperature data, and an ozone mapping tool.

Originally written on Fox Sports | Last updated 9/26/12
Nothing went right for the Kansas City Chiefs in their first two games while little could have gone better for the San Diego Chargers. Week 3 was a considerably different story. The Chiefs look to build off their stunning comeback victory Sunday at Arrowhead Stadium, where the Chargers are hoping to bounce back from an ugly no-show. San Diego's early season struggles were supposed to be a thing of the past after two strong victories to open the season. But after a lifeless 27-3 loss to Atlanta, the first-place Chargers (2-1) come to Kansas City with as many question marks as the Chiefs (1-2) had before pulling out a stunning, come-from-behind win to beat New Orleans 27-24 in overtime. "You never want to play like we did (Sunday), but when you do, you definitely have to learn from it and get to the next game because there's no waiting around and feeling sorry for yourself," Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers said. "It's a new week, and we know how important it is to win division ...

The hotel is located very close to Cuba St which has a lot of restaurants and shops. It is also very close to tram line to go to down town. One can walk to downtown in 15-20 minutes. The kitchenette is well stocked. The room is clean and quiet.
The lift sometimes doesn't work very well.
Lots of space and great location for walking around the city.
This hotel rocked! Excellent front desk service. Impeccable room. Lounge was a great retreat and fabulous staff. Special shout out to Ashley at the front desk....she helped us deal with a situation involving meds left on a weekend visit to s. island.
Not a thing!
Location was good and staff very helpful and friendly
Room decor and fittings a could use a bit of a redo
Kids running in hallway
No car park for general use - only valet offered and not told how much it would cost
Clean, spacious rooms and bathrooms
The beds were incredibly comfortable
The staff from top to bottom were extremely pleasant and helpful. They epitomize the phrase, "service with a smile."
Amazing hotel... big 2 person tub, 2 shower heads in the shower... fantastic location downtown.
Art in the hotel is pretty cool! Liked the suite we stayed in. Private balcony was neat (wish it wouldn't have been raining) Comfortable bed and loved the deep tub. Close to the Museum.
The carpet was dirty, could see the stains. We paid for a suite, if the carpet would have been clean, would have given a straight 10 rating.
Everything and every staff are very good ! we like it very much!
Room space is a little bit of small.
Here's why:
We're not the seller
At KAYAK we don't set prices, so it's not possible for us to guarantee what other companies are selling.
We aggregate tons of data for you
Our service lets you quickly and easily compare results from hundreds of travel sites at once. In this sense, KAYAK is a search engine and we don't guarantee prices we find.
Why aren't prices accurate 100% of the time?
Prices on airline seats, hotel rooms and car rentals can change frequently. Several people may also be trying to buy the same travel option simultaneously. As a result, you may find on occasion that certain prices are no longer available.

I have been interested in photography for several years. I was using film camera back then, and got very good results. About 2 years ago I changed over to digital, and began to love it even more. I like shooting all kinds of photography. This gets me outside. I also like all kinds of science, and my most favorite is astronomy. I am currently a member of North American Nature Photography Association as a member of Professional Photographers Association.
