Steam Weekend Deal (7/17) - Brothers in Arms 50-60% off!
This weekend only, save 50% on any of the Brothers in Arms games, including the latest critical hit, Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway.
Or buy them all together in the Brothers in Arms Pack and save a total of 60%!
Brothers in Arms: Road to Hill 30 - $4.99
Brothers in Arms: Earned in Blood - $4.99
Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway - $14.99
Brothers in Arms Pack - $19.99
IMO, not a bad deal... I might get the pack since I don't have any of those.
Re: Steam Weekend Deal (7/17) - Brothers in Arms 50-60% off!
I bought both Road to Hill 30 and Earned In Blood on release day, so I hope you will give it some consideration when I say that I really don't recommend either of those two games.
RtH 30 suffers from terrible AI (enemy soldiers would basically never move unless scripted to), same-y level design (you see the same pieces of cover repeated constantly through the game), and a game design that felt more like a puzzle game than a tactical war game (there is almost always just one successful way to flank the enemy, and when you do flank the enemy there is always a very convenient log or something to hide behind so you can safely shoot the enemy in the bum).
EiB was better; enemy AI actually responded to your actions and level designs felt more natural and open. There was still, however, a lot of recycled elements from the first game. Certainly an improvement over RtH30 though.
With Hell's Highway, however, Gearbox nailed the gameplay. Enemy AI is responsive, level design feel natural and open, the weapons perform much better; I mean just overall it really feels like you're commanding a squad in the field and having to constantly adjust tactics to respond to the situation (as opposed to the first two games where it felt more like you simply needed to figure out the 'trick' to winning). Definitely the best game in the series though I must say that the story and the cut scenes are some of the most hilariously over-dramatic things I have ever seen.
Re: Steam Weekend Deal (7/17) - Brothers in Arms 50-60% off!
downloading the pack right now:D
Re: Steam Weekend Deal (7/17) - Brothers in Arms 50-60% off!
I bought Hell's Highway not too long ago. Haven't played it yet though.
I skipped the first one though.
Is it worth grabbing it with the expansion for $10? I've heard that the story and characters carry over from the first game to the second, and I'd like to not miss that... but if the game isn't good, I won't bother.
Re: Steam Weekend Deal (7/17) - Brothers in Arms 50-60% off!
never was a fan of BiA games
Re: Steam Weekend Deal (7/17) - Brothers in Arms 50-60% off!
I picked this up over the weekend as well... I wasn't sure what I'd think of them as I'm not a huge fan of micro-managing troops while I'm also battling for my life, but after having already finished the first one, I'm pleasantly surprised.
The graphics haven't held out that well, but the gameplay and audio (edit: by audio I mean the gun sounds) are excellent. I didn't really get into the story as much as I'd hoped... I sort of got what was happening, but I didn't get that attached to the characters as they are mostly anonymous in battle saying the same standard thing over and over. Even Left 4 Dead characters have more flushed out in-game dialogue - I actually care that Francis hates vans, but I couldn't care when a buddy died.
Still, I have high hopes for the other two (especially the latest with all the great combat plus graphics).
Re: Steam Weekend Deal (7/17) - Brothers in Arms 50-60% off!
Audio was pretty good, not as good as Bad Company, but still pretty good.

The other night at his talk at the 92nd Street Y, we overheard Robert Rubin directing someone to call him at "the office" — meaning his office at Citigroup. That's weird, we thought, since Rubin retired over two weeks ago, and a colleague told the Journal he was "tired of it" over there. But now that we know about the perks former Citigroup CEO Sandy Weill has enjoyed since stepping down in 2006, we get why Rubin is sticking around.
Weill's package, which he is now giving up out of the goodness of his heart and for the love of the company, included:
• Around $3 million a year from the company in pension, consulting fees, and tax compensation
• An office in the General Motors building
• Full medical and dental coverage for himself and his wife
• Life insurance
• A company car and driver
• Use of the company's private jets
And to think, if Rubin stayed at HQ, he could have all that and the power to dart over to Vikram's office and give him noogies.

i agree
i fink ur cartoons are aweosome... ive watched all of them that have been submitted to newgrounds and liked every one of them... and i agree with ur point of view here... and any1 saying this is racist in any way is an idiot .. as it is often very true
It's Time To Go Back
It seems that with every installment of the Hatta you drop another bomb on black people based on the sterotypical characters you find in any American film with the "token black guy". Despite the stream crap you get off people these days I've still always had my own opinion on your work and when one of your flashes are funny or clever I have enjoyed them. However I find a number of your new works have, in a nutshell, been nothing but racial slander. If this is what it has boiled down to, to make your series survive then prehaps you do need to let it go after all. I'm not going over board with this one flash, I'm aware that it's all sillyness but this is just one in a growing series of black piss takes and I am personally starting to take offence to this and I doubt I am alone. If you can't find any real problems for Foamy to pick at anymore then there's no need for him anymore. In my opinion these flashes are nothing but cheap offensive shots. No one likes to be sterotyped and especially don't like being ridiculed because of them. Today your flashes come across as more hateful rather than trying to be funny.
Yay Foamy!!!
You rock, hand on my heart, you rock, always funny and Foamy rants about the points of life... Black people always fucking say that... I haven't met one that hasn't.
But that guy who was bitching at you, ignore that talentless fuck, he's nothing you are amazing.
10 everytime ^^
Round of applause for foamy (clap)
Nice work. You probably hear that- no you do hear that alot and you probably have heard people saying what I've just said- anyway that was kick ass, especially the bit about you only dating people who aren't idiots, that was cool. Any who great work made me laugh which has made my day...
Yeah Foamy!!
I love foamy the sqiurrel. I even bought the DVD of the first season. I'm currently looking for the other seasons. Keep up the good work man!

The Super Bowl is an important occasion in American culture—namely a day when it's okay to indulge in as many delicious snack foods and cold adult beverages as your heart desires. On a Sunday, no less! We don't have a sports stake in this year's Baltimore/San Francisco matchup, but since the big game's being held in the Big Easy, we're excited about whipping up a few Creole dishes from down Louisiana way.
Below are a few recipes from some New Orleans chefs living in Washington, plus one from a Baltimore chef. Jeff Tunks, who worked at the famed Windsor Court in New Orleans, and Dave Wizenberg own the New Orleans-themed Acadiana. David Guas, who grew up in New Orleans East and Lakeview, owns Bayou Bakery. The pimiento cheese fritters from Firefly chef de cuisine Todd Wiss may not be straight-up New Orleans (please don't write in) but they sure are tasty. And we even threw in a recipe from Jeff Landry, a congressman from Louisiana's third district. Enjoy!
Jeff Landry's Cajun Caucus Tabasco Brie (In his words: "AWESOME!")
Makes about 8 to 10 servings.
1 can Pillsbury crescent rolls
1 block Havarti cheese
1 cup chopped pecans
1 jar Tabasco spicy red pepper jelly
1) Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
2) Roll out crescent rolls on a nonstick cookie sheet and arrange them as a square by kneading them together. Place the block of cheese in the middle of the square. Place the pecans on top of the cheese. Fold the crescent roll dough over the cheese, making sure to completely cover pecans and cheese. Place in oven and bake for 20 to 30 minutes, checking at the 20-minute mark. Once dough is browned, remove from the oven.
Spread the jar of pepper jelly on top of the hot Brie, and serve.
Super Bowl watch parties hardly need a theme, what with all the delicious game-day food options, but if we were going to pick one, it would be New Orleans. The host city may not have a team in the big game, but it's a winner in terms of indulgent eats. Here's where to find all the po' boys, Abita beers, jambalaya, crawfish, etc. you could want—both for dining out and for taking home to the comfort of your couch (all places are showing the game unless noted). Note that a few go-to spots for Louisiana eats are closed this Sunday, including Acadiana, the New Orleans Po Boy Shop, and RT's.
You want: Spicy!
The place: Bayou Bakery
The deal: Chef-owner and Louisiana native David Guas throws down the gauntlet, challenging any diner to a plate of his mouth-searing crawfish tamales. Anyone who eats them all gets the cost of the dish waived, plus a free pitcher and a $25 gift certificate. You can also order milder eats for the game, such as muffalettas, gumbo, and jambalaya.
Dine in/out: Both. Takeout-friendly items include pimiento cheese, gumbo, collards, and deviled eggs, as well as whole king cakes. Call ahead to place an order.
You want: A Cajun buffet.
The place: The Cajun Experience
The deal: The $25 spread includes free rein with a spread of crawfish étouffée, jumbos, jambalaya, fried catfish, fried shrimp, hushpuppies, and more, plus $4 Abita bottles.
Dine in/out: Both. The regular menu is available for carryout.
You want: The game screened on a heated patio.
The place: Bayou
The deal: There's a television on the restaurant's covered front patio and nine more inside for viewing, as well as specials like $18 Abita buckets, $5 Hurricanes, and discounts on snacks such as fried pickles and wings. Another perk: You can make reservations (though not for outside).
Dine in/out: Both. Larger parties can pick from the catering menu (advance notice required), or you can place individual orders for regular menu items.
Gator chili dogs, $10 beer buckets, and much, much more. >>>>
Key lime pie is kind of a summer thing, but Red Truck Bakery in Warrenton—home of, let's not play around here, some very fine pies—is making an exception for the Super Bowl. The Key lime confection is usually only available from Memorial Day through Labor Day, but if you order today, you can pick one up on Friday or Saturday . . . just in time for this weekend's game.
Now, we admit that for those of us living near Washington, DC, Warrenton is a bit of a hike. So what this comes down to is: One, how seriously do you take your Key lime pie? And two, how seriously do you take you Super Bowl party food?
The pies cost $24; order by 5 PM today.
Busboys and Poets uses dried beans in its chili. Soak them on Saturday and the dish will be all set for Super Bowl Sunday.
When the Best Bites Blog asked our Twitter followers for their favorite chili recipes from local restaurants, two winners emerged: Clyde's and Busboys and Poets. Earlier today, we posted a recipe for the chili at Clyde's; now, without further ado, the tasty version from BB&P.
Have a recipe you'd like sniffed out? Tweet us your request with the hashtag #RecipeSleuth.

Everyone loves a theme party, and a Super Bowl bash should be no exception. With the New York Giants and New England Patriots going head to head this year, we're thinking oversized slices, Buffalo wings, stuffed lobster rolls, whoopie pies, and other signature eats from the near and far North. Here's where to find it all.

Not to be outdone by Rabbi James Ponet, who officiated at Chelsea Clinton and Marc Mezvinsky's presidential wedding last summer, Central Synagogue's Rabbi/Cantor Angela Buchdahl apparently did the honors this weekend as Lauren Bush (W's niece and George H.W.'s granddaughter) married David Lauren (fashion designer Ralph Lauren's son).
From what I read on the Us Magazine website (I wasn't able to make it to the wedding myself due to my daughter's birthday party), this was, unlike the Clinton-Mezvinsky ceremony which was co-officiated, an all-Jewish interfaith wedding. Or, as some commenter will no doubt hasten to add, a "Jewish-style" interfaith wedding, since "interfaith Jewish wedding" is, to many, an oxymoron.
I actually find it amusing that the children of the Bronx-born, yeshiva-educated Ralph Lauren (nee Lifschitz) have both gone on to have Jewish weddings, since his line of clothing and the advertising associated with it, always used to romanticize the WASP/New England preppy aesthetic. It's as though, despite his best efforts, he just can't get his family to assimilate.
I'm not sure if this is why she was recruited to do the gala Colorado ranch wedding, but Rabbi/Cantor Buchdahl, one of five clergy members (and senior cantor) at the prominent East Side Reform temple, was, earlier this year, one of a handful of women to make Newsweek's 50 Most Influential Rabbis list. Plus, as I noted then:
Born in Korea to a Jewish American father and a Korean Buddhist mother, Rabbi Buchdahl is, according to her bio on the Central Synagogue website, the first Asian American to be ordained as cantor or rabbi in North America. And she may be the first child-of-intermarried-parents rabbi (and patrilineal at that) to make the Newsweek list.
In case you were wondering, the bride is not changing her name to Lauren Lauren, but will instead be Lauren Bush-Lauren. I don't know why the whole family can't just change their name back to Lifschitz, to save her the awkwardness of a palindrome name. Except that Lifschitz is arguably an even more awkward surname than, say, Wiener.
So, now that I've blogged about reality shows and celebrity weddings and made petty comments about other people's names, all in one day, I want to assure you that I'll be steering this blog in a more highbrow direction tomorrow. Stay tuned for my interview with Einat Wilf, a Harvard-and-Cambridge-educated (and intermarried) member of the Knesset.

jews have the right and duty to set the rules for who is a jew.
the way they stand, it must be sure thata the candidate must be proven to be partially jewish. cant do that with only the father being jewish. because, well, you know, wives lie about who fathered their children sometimes.
good luck to the happy couple!
You guys make me sick! A bunch of narrow minded, stupid, intolerant and arrogant ( lethal combination) expressed their insidious opinions as to what is a Jew????? Do you ever listen to yourselves?
What kind of a category is Non-Jew? It sounds almost like non-Aryan, another dubious concept. cb
^^^^You do realize that the rule of matrilineal descent is completely arbitrary? In fact the rule used to be that descent was Patrilineal.
This was two non-Jews embracing some Jewish customs at their wedding. I have no problem with it as long as that is how it is recognized. How far we have come to have non-Jews copying our beautiful wedding ceremonies -- or at least part of it -- somehow doubt they had kabbalat panim or yichud.
Absolutely correct! David Lauren is not Jewish. Basically the wedding ceemony was a sham. It was two gentiles pretending to have a Jewish wedding performd by a phony Rabbi/Cantor whose also a gentile. What a joke!
According to Jewish Law David Lauren is not Jewish his Mother a non Jew never converted to Judaism.
What a joke! This was a wedding with two gentiles pretending to have a Jewish ceremony. The groom's mother is not Jewish s so he's not either. To make things worse the phony Rabbi/Cantor is not even Jewish. We can all thanks this disaster on the pro-intermarriage crowd like Julie who have been advocating the weakening of Judasim to appease the gentiles. Are you happy now?

Susan Alexander: Glimpse of future shows room for improvement
My staycation fell flat, and I ended up with a tiny taste of retirement instead.
My friends who were going to spend half the week of July 4th with us cancelled, and Youngest Daughter made plans to visit her aunt in Indiana. Our vacation week was down to Hubby and me, and that was OK. We could hike and picnic and do the leisurely things on our own that I'd planned for our visitors.
Then Hubby's plans were changed for him by work, and I was staring at a quiet week mostly by myself.
It was too dang hot to hike, and I wasn't sure I wanted to do that alone anyway. Who wants to picnic by herself? Still, I was determined I wouldn't spend my week off cleaning closets and cabinets, even if they need to be.
So I found things I wanted to do. One afternoon I poked around in some stores I'd not been in before. I took care of some household sorts of phone calls and errands that get neglected when one works full time. I exercised every morning longer than usual and walked two mornings along a greenway I'd not walked before. I read "Wild," which had been on my list long before Oprah discovered it, and started "The Chaperone" (and recommend them both). I took myself to a matinee, the first movie I ever attended alone. I spent a sweaty morning in the garden. I baked more than usual and sent the finished products away for other people to eat.
By Friday afternoon I was running out of ideas. I could push a cart aimlessly through Target or take a nap. I opted for the nap.
I learned two things from my week off that I need to work on before real retirement heads my way, if it ever does.
First, I'm not used to spending much time alone. I've had darn little of it for the past 26 years, and I'm not very good at it. In fact, I don't care for it at all — and I'm an introvert! I need to get comfortable with being alone. So many women in retirement are.
Second, I need to find a purpose for when my paid purpose goes away. By the end of one week I was feeling at loose ends. I don't want weeks upon months upon years to feel that way. Granted, I don't want to be scheduled from dawn till dusk, but it'll be important to find causes to care about and contribute to in a way a full-time worker can't.
I'd have rather spent my week off with the people I love, doing vacationy sorts of things. But the way it turned out gave me some things to think about — like getting comfortable in an empty nest and opening my heart to the bigger world.

The Ultimate Training Library is by far the most comprehensive and entertaining way to learn all about electricity and the electrical Code. The way the books and videos build your knowledge from the ground up is wonderful - each section setting the foundation for the next. You can tell a lot of hard work, preparation and knowledge has gone into every bit of the program.
Many electricians we know have used other study guides in preparation for their electrical administrator and master electrician exams and have failed numerous times. With the help of Mike Holt's videos and books I know we will be prepared. We highly recommend this system to anyone and everyone involved or looking to get involved in this industry. It is an amazing tool. I cannot imagine how we managed before receiving the Ultimate Training Library.

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) -- Gary Coleman has pleaded no contest to a disorderly conduct charge stemming from a September incident at a bowling alley. The 40-year-old former star of "Diff'rent Strokes" was ordered to pay a $100 fine in a Payson court Tuesday. He also pleaded no contest to a reckless driving charge, which will be waived if he doesn't have any other violations within a year.
According to court documents, Coleman, his wife and his bodyguard were going bowling in Payson, about 60 miles south of Salt Lake City, when Colt Rushton took a few photos of Coleman with his cell phone camera and took a few more of Coleman's truck in the parking lot. Rushton's lawyer says Coleman's wife took Rushton's cell phone, a scuffle ensued and then Coleman ran into Rushton with his truck as he was backing out of the parking lot.

ABC's scheduling release stops short of calling the series cancelled, but merely says "Not yet rescheduled" next to the three pulled episodes.
"Knights of Prosperity" had a bumpy road this season. ABC initially scheduled the series for a fall launch, but held it off until January, ostensibly to allow for additional promotional time. The comedy, focusing on a group of inept thieves plotting to rob
Despite somewhat positive reviews, through its first 8 airings, "Knights" averaged just over 5.03 million viewers.

Authorities in St. Peter continue to investigate a recent rash of home burglaries. A total of 5 home break-ins occurred over the course of 1 night on the northern side of St. Peter recently. Purses and other items were stolen from inside homes and vehicles, and there were no signs of forced entry in any of the incidents. Investigators say that all of the crimes involved homes or vehicles that were unlocked at the time, and that all of the victims were home at the time the thefts occurred. Residents are urged to remove all valuables from their vehicles and to lock the doors of their vehicles and homes. Anyone witnessing suspicious activity is asked to contact local authorities.

I have tried many recipes on this site and they have always been very good. However I did not care for this recipe at all, and neither did my guests.
This was a simple recipe, but I think it would benefit from some added ground sausage or beef. It was a little bland.

TODAY SCHEDULE (all times ET)
Morning Show Wrap
Evening Newscasts Wrap
Here are the big dirty little secrets about the election, all guaranteed to be true and (almost) all guaranteed to make every one of our sources angry.
1. Whoever wins the electoral votes of 2 out of 3 (or 3 out of 3) of Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Florida will be the next president of the United States.
2. By keeping his physical and psychic distance, John Kerry has fostered less Stockholm Syndrome among his regular traveling press corps than any Democratic presidential candidate since.. well … since Al Gore. (Kerry's ways make the relationship between Walter Mondale and Lee Kamlet look like that between John McCain and Tucker Carlson, if you know what we mean.)
3. A lot of Democrats — including some of the smartest ones we know — look at the latest polling data and claim to think that the election is all but over.
4. Note to Devenish and Cutter — get used to it. The dominant political press narrative creators have locked in. President Bush will never be held to the same standard as Senator Kerry on flip-flopping and Senator Kerry will never be held to the same standard as the president on saying careless/wrong things for effect.
5. The central theory of the Bush campaign is that winning depends on destroying John Kerry by making him unacceptable to the American people as a commander in chief, someone to have in their living rooms for four years, and a liberal, flip-flopping, pessimistic tax increaser.
6. Bush advisers who are putting all their chips on the Iraq handover leading to an improvement in right track/wrong track and the president's job approval are (semi-)secretly worried that — even if the facts on the ground improve — public opinion and perception will lag and not improve commensurately (and enough) by November to make a difference — a la 41 and the economy in '92.
7. Most Democrats are fraidy cats who don't think in their hearts they can win the White House or, if they win it, don't think they can hold it for any length of time — and/but John Kerry is an conspicuous exception to this.
8. Nearly every political reporter in America is having the same experience — they keep finding Republicans who say they will never vote again for President Bush (over the the war and the deficit, usually) but they have a heck of a time finding anyone who voted for Gore in 2000 who are now certain that they will vote for Bush (and Gore apparently won the popular vote).
9. Beyond a core group who has known him for years, would walk through walls for him, and respects how tough he is, Kerry's staff evinces less respect for him and less fondness for him than Gore's people did about the 2000 standard bearer.
10. There will be less national debate this year about what the agenda of either Bush or Kerry for 2005-2009 will be than any of you can imagine.
11. There is absolutely no way of knowing until election day if the Republicans' 72 hours program, or either parties' 527s, or the virulent anti-Bush animation will produce on-the-ground practical results or tidal waves or not — the only index that matters is winning.
12. For reasons both tactical and strategic, ABC News continues to leave unpublished the names of a lot of Democrats who are secretly working for John Kerry's veepstakes operation. But, don't be under any illusions — we know who you are.

Six flakes of snow in the air and the city starts shutting down. Ridiculous.
I think they are planning for the snow we are supposed to get later. Then people don't have to travel home after it all comes down. Then again, who knows if we'll get anywhere near what they predict.

1 Recommendation
sciencegeek's recommendation
In college and a few years after that, posters were tacked to the wall directly. Now that I have my own apartment, I've started framing things. The Ribba frames are very nice looking for a very nice price, and will let you move on from college painlessly. One word of advice, the sizes are somewhat odd and you should definitely measure your art before heading out to Ikea to get the frames. Most do come with two sizes of mats (they call them passpartouts, probably because they have almost no depth) but both sizes are not standard.

Been watching since season 1, thanksgiving dinner episode had me saying HOLY SH1T!! The build up to this has taken a little bit but now that this seasons found it's stride, things will get intense. Can't wait for Sunday
Yes, this season has had a couple of weaker episodes but it was all lead up to these last 4 shows and Hungry Man did not disappoint...that family is effed up!!
BTW...for those complaining about the Batista/LaGuerta affair taking up screen time...Dexter does not waste time with story lines that don't go somewhere so I would expect this to have some reason for being other than keeping these two occupied...just like Quinns affair wasn't just to get the reporter girls boobies on camera..

Nice texture and coloring.
Are the reflections in the eye painted? Seems not natural and not in sync with other hghtlights.
February 16th, 2005 #3
Hi Nafa,
first thx for my 1. reply i got ;o)
The effects in the eyes are not painted.
I used normal acryl paint for the skin and the eyes, but i painted a bit clear varnish over the eyes, so the light in my room is reflected in them.
PS. sry, for my bad english ;o)

Anne Perry's Victorian Christmas novels have attracted as many faithful readers as her two New York Times bestselling series featuring investigators Thomas Pitt and William Monk. A Christmas Promise is the seventh in Perry's holiday series, and it will surely bring joy to this special season.Three days before Christmas, in the freezing slums of London's East End, thirteen-year-old Gracie Phipps encounters Minnie Maude Mudway, who is only eight, alone, and determined to find her friend Charlie.However Charlie is no ordinary companion: He is a donkey who belonged to Minnie Maude's Uncle Alf. Gracie is shocked to learn that only the day before, someone brutally murdered Uncle Alf and made off with his rag-and-bones cart and the beloved beast who pulled it. Now, come hell or high water, Minnie Maude means to rescue Charlie–and Gracie decides to help. But the path that Uncle Alf had taken to his death was not his regular route, and in his cart were not just the usual bits of worn silver and china but also, the children are told, a dazzling golden box. What its contents may have been no one can say, for, like Charlie and the cart, it too has vanished.Uncertain where their four-legged friend may be, the children are drawn into an adult world far beyond their innocent imaginings. And in a shop gleaming with beautiful objects, they recruit an unexpected ally: Mr. Balthasar, who warns them that the shining prize may be a Pandora's box of evil.Set in the Victorian world where Anne Perry reigns supreme, A Christmas Promise culminates in a radiant finale that will remain with you long after the final page is turned.From the Hardcover edition.
Anne Perry is the bestselling author of two acclaimed series set in Victorian England: the Charlotte and Thomas Pitt novels, including Death on Blackheath and Midnight at Marble Arch, and the William Monk novels, including Blood on the Water and… More about Anne Perry

Cartoon Summary:
While experimenting with a Matter Transporter in his secret hideout, Shredder sends Rocksteady and Bebop to a nearby garbage dump. Through a series of mishaps, Rocksteady and Bebop find themselves in the sewers and in the Turtles' Lair. After subduing them, but before interrogating them, Shredder "recalls" them to his secret hideout. The Turtles watch Rocksteady and Bebop vanish into thin air. The Turtles contact April O'Neil and lure her with the promise of a great news story, but when she arrives she discovers that they need a new TV to replace the one that Rocksteady and Bebop destroyed during their encounter. It seems the "boys in green" are addicted to sci-fi movies and were in the middle of a marathon when Rocksteady and Bebop dropped in.

A 3-0 defeat of Airdrieonians at Ibrox delivered Rangers' 26th victory in 28 unbeaten games, putting them an uncatchable 26 points clear of second-place Dunfermline Athletic and securing promotion to the Championship. The players celebrated with a lap of honour and McCoist was conspicuously enthusiastic as he waved and pumped his fists to the supporters.
The Rangers manager had been heavily criticised after the weekend Scottish Cup draw with Albion Rovers but Rangers delivered a far more convincing display as captain Lee McCulloch scored a first-half hat trick which included two early penalties.
"Winning things is a wonderful feeling, no matter what it is and where it is," said McCoist. "These are all championships that we have to win to get back to where we want to be, in the top flight. These are stages in our recovery which must be met. It is only fair that they should be celebrated and enjoyed like you would with any league. There are lots of boys in there winning their first league and good on them for doing that. They are well within their rights to really enjoy it and we will make sure they do.
"Planning for the Championship starts now. The Championship could and hopefully will be a great league next year, with some of the teams that will be in it. We are planning for that and hopefully we can look forward to it and strengthen. The focus straight away is on the game against Dunfermline at the weekend and then we have a game in the Scottish Cup [the quarter-final replay with Albion Rovers] which gives us an opportunity for a home tie against Dundee United. We will enjoy tonight, but the season is far from over for us.
"The players deserve an enormous amount of credit. It's certainly an achievement to win the title. It's one we set out to do and needed to do, as part of the journey back. Twenty-six wins and two draws in 28 games: that's a good achievement. You have to say Dunfermline have done well because with statistics like that we might even have won it earlier.
"We're thrilled for the players, the staff and the supporters. It's been a terrific league campaign and I thought we finished it well tonight. We created a lot of pressure and played a lot of good football. From that aspect it was really pleasing.
"McCulloch in particular has epitomised the spirit within the club we've required at the beginning of the journey back. I'm thrilled for him. For the captain to score a hat trick from centre-half in the winning game is Roy of the Rovers stuff."

On Tuesday, district officials released a letter from the Arkansas Department of Health (ADH) about the confirmed case of pertussis, more commonly known as whooping cough. The letter was sent to Lincoln parents from Dirk Haselow, medical director for the ADH. Superintendent of Schools Mary Ann Spears says three children from the same family were all diagnosed. One child attends the elementary school, one attends the middle school and one is at the high school so Spears says the entire school district has been affected.
The school district is asking students with a severe cough to stay home from school and they will be reviewing all vaccination records. According to Haselow, parents of children who need to be vaccinated will be notified. Spears says there are no current plans to cancel classes at any of the three schools but that nurses are available to answer questions and provide the vaccine.
All students "should be observed for respiratory symptoms for the next 14 days," according to the state letter. Spears says all three students diagnosed had received the pertussis vaccination.

Awesome TV8/16/2012
great picture. very happy.
Best for the price5/22/2012
The setup is tricky if you don't take the time to go through the menu on the remote. Don't bother looking at the paper work did not really help. Once you get in the menu set up,it should be easy. This is a 720p set, and up close it is not such a bad picture. now more than 7 feet I would not know. Takes time to warm up; dose not bother me personally. Sound is okay for 10x10 room and I have 30% of my hearing. I hope this helps others. I personally think any room more than a 10x10 you should be looking to a bigger set. wireless works well and said strong, with the router in another room, down the hall about 30 feet away. The price I paid was great because anything like it would have cost about $800. or more. There are better out there but not for this price.0 Helpful | 1 Not Helpful

Misfit Shine Review
I've worked out for the better part of my life at this point. I'm not triathlete, but nor am I a couch potato that occasionally murmurs aspirations of hitting the gym only to be defeated by another episode of Real Housewives (I'm now sickened by that thought). Why am I telling you this? Well, despite my daily desire to work out, I still struggle to maintain a regular routine, as do so many others. Largely because I work and sit in front of a computer 5 days a week and make little effort to get up and walk around. However, that's changed recently as I've been walking to work – about a half a mile – almost daily. Along for the ride, in addition to a Fitbit Force, has been the recently released Misfit Shine.
The Shine, from Misfit Wearables, is an Indiegogo campaign that successfully raised over $800,000 last year. According to its creators (past Apple employees), the Shine is carved out of a solid block of aluminum, resulting in a weight of no more than 10 grams. Footprint wise the Shine is no bigger than a US quarter coin and as thick as about 2.5 of the same coined stacked together. Put more succinctly the Shine is light enough and small enough that you'll forget that you're wearing it.
Out of the box you'll need to remove the Shine's backing using the included tool. The instructions to do this are embedded in the packaging, and while they're a bit ambiguous, the process is very simple once you figure out where to pry it open using the included tool.
The Shine's power is derived from a coin cell (CR2032), otherwise known as a watch battery. Misfit Wearables says that it's good for up to 4-months, where upon you'll then need to replace it. Also packed in the box is a magnetic clip that wraps around the Shine and allows you to adhere it to just about any piece of clothing you see fit. My Shine also shipped with a wrist strap, which to me is preferable since there is less likelihood that I'll lose it.
An accompanying iPhone and Android app keeps tabs on the information, with syncing occurring over Bluetooth. Setup is painless and syncs usually don't take more than 20 seconds, though there is some variability depending on how many days of data needs to be transferred. During my testing the Shine app was updated a few times, with one major update that added a social component allowing the Shine community to compete with one and other via Facebook. It's up to you if you want your data shared with everyone or just friends.
To more easily, if not more succinctly quantify your activity, Misfit Wearables has opted to use a point based system. Like many other apps, you'll set your goal, though a suggestion will be provided based on your activity level. I chose 600 points a day, which according to the Shine app requires I walk 1 hour or run 20 minutes or swim 30 minutes a day. Increasing this to 700 has no impact on the suggested activities, where as 800 points suggested I walk 1.5 hours or run 30 minutes or swim 30 minutes. Pushing the goal to 900 leaves walking and running the same, but requires another extra 15 minutes of swimming. Why, in this last instance, just swimming I don't know. But yes, the Shine can track laps (presumably – I didn't swim with it) and is 100% waterproof unlike some other pedometers.
In use the Shine is straight forward. To see how much of your daily goal is completed you just simply tap the Shine twice with your fingertip. This should (more on this in a bit) cause an array of hidden LED lights to display – there are 12 in total. My Shine is configured to display the time first – a blinking LED light represents the minute where as a solid LED the hour – which is then followed by the percent of daily goal completed and represented by a continguous row of LED light – each LED is about 8% of the completed goal. If so opted, you can turn the time feature off all together.
Stylistically speaking the Misfit Shine seems to work for me be it in a casual or dressy environment. That is to say its minimalistic design doesn't conflict with my wardrobe and thanks to its diminutive size it can be worn next to another wrist worn device, such as a watch without feeling over encumbering on my wrist.
I'm not sure I'd be willing to use the Shine as my go to source of time, largely because I can't always get it to activate. But for those that are wondering, there is a small 12-o'clock symbol on the back such that you can orientate it correctly.
Some dings and scratches on the button after a month and some of use
Unfortunately, and despite a small software update that was designed to address this issue, I found it difficult to get the Shine to illuminate with consistency. In fact, often when i went to demo it for people it would do nothing. Moreover, activating the activity tagging (sleeping, cycling, swimming, tennis, basketball or soccer), which requires that you tap the Shine three times in a row, often took multiple attempts. That said, I much prefer a button, as found on the Fitbit Force and the Nike Fuelband, since it's much easier to activate.
I've not used the Misfit to track any of the aforementioned activities simply because I don't engage in any of them. But it has been able to track, with relative accuracy, the times at which I am active, which largely includes walking to work, exercising and sleeping. These are represented by both a graph, which plots your activity over the course of a day, and tiles, which are more or less badges.
Sleeping, however, is shown by a bar graph, denoting light and heavy sleep. In testing the Shine is able to track total sleep logged, but it, like other wrist worn trackers, is questionable in its accuracy just given that it is making inferences based on movement or lack there. Moreover, it marks "time fell asleep", based on when the Shine was triple tapped, which furthers my skepticism to its sleep tracking accuracy.
Of all of the apps that I've used that relate to this category of device, I have to give "props" to the Shine's designer. The Misfit Shine app is clean, easy to glance and discern between one stat to the next. However, I'm a bit frustrated when I'm not awarded with a badge other than "kind of active" when I lift weights and engage in some kung fu – both of these can be very cardio intensive if done correctly (i.e. heavy activity). Nevertheless, it's still easy enough for me to keep tabs on my activity throughout the day, though I'd like to see a tagging feature (the triple tap or perhaps a four tap) such that I could log my activity. Some might argue that defeats the purpose of a device of this nature (one that automatically tracks activity), but I believe Nike is on to something with their latest Fuelband and app, the SE.
So all together, aside from the issues with getting the Misfit Shine to react to my touch (or taps) I really don't have any major resounding complaints. The watch battery, which needs to be replaced every 4 months, at least according to Misfit Wearables, makes it less attractive than the Fuelband, which can be charged via USB. But with that inconvenience comes a trade off that equates to long battery life. But if you're like me, it will take you months to replace a dead watch battery since it's not something I do with regularity.
Durability wise the Shine feels very solid, and considering that it's waterproof you won't have to be cognizant of when you have to you take it off (e.g. shower, pool, ocean). As you can see in the above pictures, by its very nature (metal) is susceptible to scratches, though the Shine itself (unlike the button on the wrist strap) holds up a fairly well. That said – it's a bit difficult to tell in my images – the Shine does scratch and although I didn't have any major run ins with sharp objects, I have to wonder what would happen if the surface caught the corner or edge of something. Nevertheless, it's clear that the Shine is designed to take a licking.

Grew up back East, got sick of the cold and headed West. Since I was small I have been pushing buttons - both electronic and human. With an insatiable need for tech I thought "why not start a blog focusing on technology, and use my dislikes and likes to post on gadgets."
3 Comments to Misfit Shine Review
I bought a misfit shine because my fitbit broke a while back and I thought I"d try something new. I do not not want to wear a rubber bracelet on my wrist, so I like the idea of something I can hide on my waist. And, I was really looking forward to the crystal misfit. I have been running many of the same route for years and almost always track my route with the GPS on my phone; I am very disappointed to find that misfit constantly exaggerates the milage.
Christen Costa
It seems to be a problem amongst many pedometers/wearables. The Fuelband did it, though the second version was more accurate. It would seem your best bet is a GPS watch.
I bought my device about 3 months ago. Recently I have been unable to sync it for weeks at a time. I followed the troubleshooting directions carefully and the device operated for one day and the problem returned. I really liked the idea of having a device I could wear at all times, but am extremely disappointed that it no longer works. It was a waste of money for me. Very unsatisfied and sorry that I bought one for a Christmas gift thinking it was operator error.

Originally written on Larry Brown Sports | Last updated 12/10/12
Stephen Jackson was not messing around when he issued a threat to Serge Ibaka over Twitter on Friday night, and now he is paying the price. The NBA fined him $25,000 for his threat. The Spurs swingman was watching the Thunder-Lakers game and saw Ibaka scuffle with Metta World Peace. The incident must have reminded him about his past run-ins with Ibaka — they had one in last season's Western Conference Finals and another at the beginning of this season — and it prompted him to threaten the Thunder forward. We gave Jackson a break on Friday by saying he must have meant it in jest, but we figured a fine was coming. It did. Jackson also apologized on Sunday. He wrote the following on Instagram: "I apologize to @sergeibaka, the NBA, and to all my fans for the comments I made. It was unprofessional and childish. I'm not a thug just a man who speaks his mind. It was not appropriate. I do apologize. Only a man can admit when he's wrong." We appreciate that Jackson apologized, but it still doesn't clear him from doing something that was not only foolish, but offensive. The NBA described his tweet as hostile. It certainly was. I know a lot of people enjoy toughness in the NBA like the old days, but it's totally inappropriate to threaten to smash a player in his mouth.
