Worst game ever...
How can they justify in puting this on the shelves its truly awful, I Thought games get tested the controls are worst on a game i ever seen.....
This is the biggest pile of crap ive seen king kong has now slipped to 2nd worst xbox game of all time
So lemme guess, you're one of those people that got turned off by the controls and didn't even play too far in, yes? As people have stated before, controls are kinda like oldschool RE/Silent Hill-y games, so if you never had to deal with those before back on the PS1, I'm sorry. I just got this game yesterday, and once getting used to the controls, I'm liking how the story is playing out. I feel like I'm playing a Twin Peaks videogame, with some Silent Hill creepy monsters to shoot. And that to me, is awesome. Go find another game to get an easy 1K on since apparently that's all you're looking for if comparing it to King Kong, and that's all I know people use that game for.
comparing to kingkong as one of the worst - graphics terrible - controls terrible - i guess no doubt this would of been a great if they put some effort into it.............
And again, you only mention graphics and controls...if you bothered to play it for more than 10 minutes (which obviously you didn't since you don't even have 1 achievement in it), you might have started to like it. Go wave your arms some more at the Kinect instead, and don't complain about this game.
I have to agree with shinobiesteve.. Deadly Premonition has easily become one of my all time favorite games because of the story.. yes the controls are terrible, and things could have been done ALOT better. BUT if you actually give the game a chance past the prologue you may actually find yourself loving the game as I do. Ill admit I almost returned the game within the first hour of playing it, but I got past the prologue played abit more and found myself beating the 40+hour game the very next day. The story is one of the best... so says Mr. Stuart...
Ahhh another inexperienced gamer who clearly is only bothered about "graphics".
Im not being funny but a game isnt just based on "graphics" or "controls"
A game is based on Storylines, Backstory, Graphics, Controls, Characters, Music, World/Level Design, Puzzles, Items, Side Missions, Writing Dialogue, General Enjoyment.
As you can see a game is based on a hell of a lot more than what your pissing on it for.
I agree the graphics a "pre-dated" and the controls are not the best, but if you manage to actually play the game and give it a chance (even further than the first 10 minutes that the Prologue takes) you will see that the rest of the basics noted above are all brilliantly integrated within this game, hence why it has won Game of the Year Awards and is highly rated by a lot of gamers that play games for what they are!
Sorry for the rant but im sick of people complaining about a game when they dont even get the logistics of it or play a game long enough to give it a chance!
What makes your rant complete bollocks is that you havent even put the game into your console as your gamerscore notes that the game has "not been played"
And the funny thing about it is if you play it more you don't even remember that the game has bad controls to begin with, games are meant for enjoyment yes.. but more of an experience, and I will say if you enjoy a great motivating, emotional story then you need to play the game... however if you are just looking for easy achievements and a game you can pick up that looks pretty and you can beat in an hour or two than there are PLENTY of those out there.. but for an Independent gaming company who made this masterpiece with a small budget, it doesn't even compare with the games these days who DO focus on making a game look pretty rather than forgetting all about an incredible story that drives the game which is Deadly Premonition.... I do rant too about this debate but seriously.. give it another try. I try to share this game with everyone who respects story because it truly is a gem.
Its true you get sucked into the story line that you forget about the controls, tbh the controls themselves are not that bad, i can understand that the driving is pretty sucky but there are ways around this for example the Police Radio etc.
you played it for 5 minutes then?? i was surprised to not see the sentance black ops is great somewhere in your post.
I think the game is fantastic if you take it for what it is, considering the developers had about £20 to spend on it. good job
See this really bothers me, i am all for slating a game when it deserves it, but blaming controls and graphics i think is wrong. I have deffended this game before, and i will do so again. This game is out there sprawled over the net as being "shit" or "good" depending on those who have played it. Therefore the fact that you obviously knew of these issues you still wnet it bought, and lets face it it was probably a steal, considering its retail price was only £20 when it first came out therefore im reckoning you cna probably get it cheaper than that now.
So yeah the graphics, well i'm sorry but in my opinion graphics don't make a game. Sure HD looks awsome, and yeah some games such as Alan Wake, or GTAIV just look awe inspiring. However Deadly Premonition brings the elements of what makes a good game to the table. The story is well written, with plenty of twists and turns, and the humerous moments that give the gamer a snigger. Yes some of the voice acting is down right terrible, but i feel that the main cast all deliver believable characters.
If you are of the persuasion that graphics make a game, then you are the problem with games today my friend. So many turds are put out on the shelfs for us to buy, and they score high grades because they look pretty etc.... examples of this would be final fantasy XIII, or L.A.Noire - the amount of people who went on about the motion capture thing on L.A.Noire - yeah was ground breaking but that game was tedious and repetitive it had sucked all of the fun out of the sandbox genre in my opinion. Now everyone is open to there opinion, i'm just fed up of people slating this game over the same reasons, graphics and controls.
If you want to slate it, play it first, at least for the first couple of chapters then slate it. I have earned the right to slate FFXIII as i got through that entire game - i still have mop up cheevs to do, but i hate it as it aint a final fantasy game to me, and L.A.Noire i'm bout 60% through, and i enjoyed it at first, but as i say it became tedious and repetive and its graphics and motion capture couldn't save it for me.
Also i'm unsure how old you are, but as someone said earlier PS1 games, i am a gamer through and through, i enjoy classic retro games such as Sonic and Mario, and while the sprites look shit compared to todays graphics i appreciate them for what they are. My all time favourite game is Chrono Trigger, a 16 bit gem, and Deadly Premonition didn't have the budget of some of the bigger games, but the developers provided an entertaining and fun game for those who are willing to put bias and prejudiced ideas aside and just give it a shot.
A gem of a title
I picked this game up quite awhile ago for $20 brand new, not having done any research on the title at all. I played this game while my Fiance watched, and it actually turned out to be an enjoyable title. Some parts of the game were very laughable, and reminded us of a B horror film. The controls might be a clunky, and the graphics may have been a little dated, but you should never let one or both of those things deter you from what could be a great experience.
I have heard that they are making an updated version of this game, and the possibility of a prequel if I recall.
Love this game, if it had better graphics and tighter controls with the shooting it would be one of the best games ever.
Its one of the best games this gen. Great story and characters.
At the last boss fight on my first playthrough (Dead Island took up alot of my time in the past month), and the story has just gotten better and frickin crazier! Will def. play again after I beat it on another difficulty, and work on the sidequests to get all of the cards.
is it sad that i bea this game shortly after it came out, made friends borrow it and play, and up until now(after playing plenty of great games, some "AAA" in the mean time,) i've wanted nothing more than to get my $20 copy of Deadly Premonition back to play through it again.
i think not
Ok, so you're not into Twin Peaks style, and I doubt that name even ring a bell.
The people who enjoy this game can see the great story behind him, had fun for its weird dialogs and intentionally incoherent character expresions, and his dozens of tributes to Twin Peaks, so we were to busy in delight that we couldn't think about if the control was "good" or "bad".
Of course, if you get a game not very renown, without seeing first some review, you can easily take a blow, because Deadly Premonition was a game conceived for a certain public.
This is truly a fantastic and deep game, and whoever says the opposite is just getting lost at the first impression of it. Give it some time, get over its technical side, and enjoy it.
Just starting this now, i'm not put of by graphics.
Forgetting the bad points everyone seems to have mentioned, eg graphics controls etc, i am totally enjoying the game what it lacks in some areas it makes up for with atmospherics similar to the 1st silent hill game, well worth the £8 i paid for it.
I TRIED to like this game and TRIED to play it but OMG...it sucked!!! It wasn't the 80s graphics but more like being on an acid trip.
I picked it up for £10 at xmas, after a friend recommended it to me, knowing I'd love the cheesy feel of it. I gotta say, he was right. Reminiscent of the first Silent Hill/Resident Evil games, in terms of controls, animation and graphics. And I love it. Yeah, the car controls are not that great, but it was done on a budget, and I love the way York talks to Zach all the time about movies. Whoever Zach is lol.
It is worth its weight in gold
Honestly, I wish more games were like this. I don't mean we need more horror-survival games, I mean we need more high-risk taking developers putting out games that aren't the norm for a lower cost than typical games. This game was $20.00 brand new and I got a lot of playtime out of it. Not to mention enjoyment and laughs. Sure, it wasn't photo-realistic or super-easy to control, but you get passed that.
The games industry themselves has even said that the AAA, Call of Duty type games aren't really sustainable for the long-term health of the industry. Putting millions of dollars on the line for a game that gamers may not like can destroy a company, but that's all that people like the OP probably play anyway. If it's not CoD, GoW, Battlefield, Halo or some other carbon copy FPS, it's not worth playing. Praise to Deadly Premonition for taking chances and offering cheaper games that are great.
It really makes me sad so many people are just all about the graphics nowadays.. ugh. :(
I admit the controls were a bother, but.. this game was one of the most refreshing and unique games I've played in years. I still need to go play it and beat it on one more difficulty again someday, but even still.. I played it a lot and I was just blown away by how fun it was. The story was pretty awesome, a few iffy things here and there sure, but it really dragged me in.
Not to mention the characters actually had depth to them for the most part. Nowadays, games VERY rarely drag me into them.. I rarely feel involved or part of the story. I haven't played a game like this in ages, and sadly.. I doubt there will be another game this good for quite some time. :(
Yeah, controls weren't great but you get used to them. Graphics weren't great, but who cares. The characters, music and mechanics of this game will stick with me for a very long time. It's given me awesome memories and reminded me how fun games can be again.
Deadly Premonition > Heavy Rain. Without question. One is engaging, memorable, has a consistent story with logical plot twists and characters that you care about, let down by bad presentation. The other has nice graphics and a moody soundtrack to disguise it complete lack of original ideas and utterly inconsistent and hole-filled story.
I guess gaming is all about opinions, but I absolutely loved this game!
I had heard how bad the controls were, but after the first half hour, which I admit is pretty jarring and a step back in time, I didnt have a problem. The no movement when shooting/reloading added tension and I just forgot about the controls.
The graphics, though very poor in the driving sections are acceptable in the buildings. The sound is brilliant! I love the quirky innappropriate tunes and too loud levels. Its just a fun and funny game.
People who gave up, you missed a game that is one of the best of this generation. Go back and give it another go!
I think what you meant to say was, "This is one of the best games ever."
I've had this sitting in my collection for awhile and I have to admit, I was one of those that did the prologue and gave up. But, the other day I decided to pull it out again and I am glad I did! Almost finished chapter One (am at scene 6 now). Got a bit bored as I was tired and it was late last night so decided to go fishing (in the game) That was funny as I have to say. Then I went to sleep and got up early to get some breakfast. After that it was some off-roading then off to the vending machine to get some smokes. How many games can you do all that in?
Cant wait for a sequel (Gotta finish this one first!)
Controls and graphics do not define this game. The story was wonderful and unique, and tbh, I may be one of the few who actually really enjoyed the voice acting.

The Nature Directives work when they are put to good use. Here's the proof...
Seabirds can't help but pursue fishing boats, with their bait and the promise of a tasty and easily caught meal. But they often get too close, accidentally getting hooked or entangled in fishing gear, and then helplessly drown.

An off limit beach isn't there to offend it's a special place that has been set aside for the conservation of some animal, plant, or habitat.
We need to keep a more careful eye on the 'Critically Endangered' Balearic Shearwater or else we might notice too late that it's gone forever…

Keep up to date with the news from the world of energy research, current information on research and demonstration projects, tips about events, and the latest from the energy industry and on energy policy. You can also subscribe to the news items.
Cloverleaf was inspiration for new building
A new office building for around 190 members of staff at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK) is scheduled for completion on Potsdam's Telegrafenberg hill in summer 2014. Alongside the historic main buildings from the 19th century, an energy optimised new building is being constructed in the form of a cloverleaf. With this building, the PIK wants to set a benchmark for energy efficient construction. With the official laying of the foundation stone for the new building at the end of June, the research institute simultaneously celebrated its 20th anniversary.
The necessary urban and regional development framework conditions were already established before the start of construction. As the first milestone, a building and system model for the energy-based simulation was produced at the end of 2011. Until the building is completed in the middle of 2015, load analyses will be carried out for the various development stages in conjunction with equipment concepts. An investigation of the different possible alternatives for transferring and storing waste heat should also help achieve the efficiency goals. The PIK is working together with Dresden University of Technology on the holistic, energy-based assessment and optimisation of the new building. In addition, it is developing a combined energy solution for the user community across the entire site on the Telegrafenberg hill in Potsdam.
Although the building has a gross floor area of around 6,600 m², the modern timber facade and floor plan reminiscent of a cloverleaf are designed to make the building seem less bulky and enable it to almost vanish behind the many trees on the Telegrafenberg hill. The ensemble of historic buildings therefore maintains its integrity. It is planned, for example, to utilise the considerable waste heat produced by the large mainframe computer used for climate simulations. It is also planned to use an innovative ventilation system: the air inlet and extraction will be provided via the hollow floor structure, with needs-oriented ventilation using presence detectors, CO2 sensors and volume flow controllers.
Various methods are being used to insulate the external walls (vacuum insulation and glazing, climate-regulating internal insulation system), whose different efficiencies over the years will be monitored by TU Dresden. The aim of the collaboration is to achieve an innovative building and system solution that undercuts the requirements made by EnEV 2009 by 50 per cent.
The German Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology, the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research and the Federal State of Brandenburg have contributed a total of 17 million euros to the cost of the technically innovative new-build scheme. The energy-based optimisation of the new building and the version analysis for the campus energy concept is being funded by the German Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology as part of its EnEff:Stadt research initiative.

2004 Chrysler Pacifica Q&A
2004 Chrysler Pacifica Question: Motor mount and ABS module cost
I have been given what I think is an outragous estimate to replace two motor mounts and my ABS module. What should I expect to pay to replace the ABS module and motor mounts? The mechanic took all most a full day to tell me that the ABS module is bad. My ABS light, skid control and brake light came on at the same time a few days ago. The mechanic told me that at first he did not know why the lights were on because his computer could not find an issue. Then he called and said the ABS module needs to be replaced. I think he could not find the root cause and just wants to replace the whole unit. - bartman
2 Answers
Answer 1
You know diagnosing a car is not like going to McDonalds. A good tech, when he is not sure what the problem is he goes to certain websites or calls fellow technicians. It is not as easy as you think to diag theses new vehicles. All these lights can be related to the ABS module. Ask him what the codes are and post them on this website. With the codes we can get a clearer picture of what it might be. - backyard tech
Answer 2
I've also gotten an outrageous price for an ABS Module from Toyota and they say "maybe" this is the fix. - frustrated gal

Jordin Sparks has come a long way from belting out Celine Dion's "Because You Love Me" in her audition for American Idol at 16. At 17, she won that very season. Five years later the big voiced singer has landed the role of a lifetime as Sparkle Williams in the 1976 remake of Sparkle and her duet with Whitney Houston,"Celebrate," is the lead single from the upcoming film. And in her wildest dreams she never imagined working with the indelible Houston who plays her mother Emma. Although Whitney's time may have been cut short from us here on earth, we talked to Jordin Sparks about the invaluable lessons she learned from the woman often referred to as The Voice.
Whitney and Jordin may have started out as just cast members, but by the end of filming the two were friends. What she learned most from her was that your past makes you who you are. "If I could say one thing I learned most from Whitney…not to be ashamed or afraid to talk about your past," said Sparks. "She had this presence that just, she walked into a room and you knew she was there. She didn't ask for anybody to look at her, it just happened." Jordin remembers Whitney having a wisdom about herself and not being ashamed of everything she's gone through.
Whitney was also incredibly down to earth according to Sparks. "She was so cool. She was so chill," Jordin said. "She's this huge supernova diva, has sang all over the world, and millions upon millions of albums sold and the voice that every female singer gets compared to, and here she is with her robe on and she's beautiful and she's having a good time with us." Everything about Whitney seemed like she would be that cool auntie that would tell you like it is. Stay tuned for more of our chat with Jordin Sparks.

AJ LeeApril Jeanette Mendez
- Birthdate: 3/19/1987 (age 28)
- Height: 5'2"
- Weight: 115 Ib
AJ Lee is a self-professed "nerd", as she loves...
UPDATE x 2: Additional and conflicting details have surfaced concerning a backstage incident between WWE Divas Champion AJ Lee and NBC personality Michelle Beadle at last Wednesday's Tribute to the Troops event at Joint Base Lewis-McChord in Pierce County, Washington.
We reported this morning that Lee went on tirade towards the Access Hollywood co-host upon seeing her chat with CM Punk, her boyfriend, backstage at the event. He added that WWE officials were very embarrassed and angry at Lee over her unprofessional conduct.
Beadle was at the event as the official host of the annual event, which will air as a one-hour television special on Saturday, Dec. 28 at 8/7C on NBC.
The word among wrestlers backstage at today's WWE TLC pay-per-view event in Houston, Texas, was that Lee did not approach Beadle due to jealousy, but because she had spoken to Punk in a disrespectful tone. Lee approached Beadle after Beadle had a conversation with Punk, not during a conversation between the two as had been previously reported.
Beadle had remarked something to Punk in a disrespectful manner that allegedly upset him, which led to Lee searching for her—what Beadle said cannot be confirmed. It is said that Lee approached the popular television personality and told her that she was not to speak to her boyfriend in that manner again and if she did, there would be a problem.
One wrestler who witnessed the incident is denying the claim of Lee raising her voice and cursing at Beadle.
"Anyone who said that is a liar," said the wrestler, who spoke under the condition of anonymity.
Since Beadle is a celebrity, there is heat on Lee over the ordeal. The same wrestler remarked, "Celebs are untouchable in the backstage scene. WWE wants them more than they need any wrestler, so automatically, the wrestler is going to be wrong here, even when [Lee] isn't really."
Beadle acknowledged rumors of an incident with Lee this morning on Twitter, as she didn't believe that Lee was serious with her WWE character-like outburst toward her.
Lee is scheduled to defend her WWE Divas Championship tonight at WWE TLC against Natalya.
UPDATE: NBC entertainment and sports personality Michelle Beadle is lending credence to today's report concerning an incident between herself and WWE Divas Champion AJ Lee at last Wednesday's annual Tribute to the Troops event at Joint Base Lewis-McChord in Pierce County, Washington.
We revealed this morning that Lee went on an obscenity-laced tirade towards the Access Hollywood co-host upon seeing her chat with CM Punk, her boyfriend, backstage at the event. Beadle didn't believe Lee was serious with her unhinged WWE character-like outburst.
In response to a fan remarking to her this morning on Twitter, "You should have slapped AJ Lee when she got in your face," Beadle wrote, "Meh. I thought it was a joke."
Responding to an upset AJ Lee fan on Twitter, Beadle remarked, "Hon...it was done in front of company people. I didn't say a word. I thought it was a joke."
Beadle's tweet gels our report, as we noted on the podcast that Lee's Tribute to the Troops incident took place in front of many important people. A number of WWE officials were very embarrassed and angry at Lee over the incident, mainly for "coming off like her character in real life, and not in a good way." She is expected to be disciplined for her behavior.
Lee is scheduled to defend her WWE Divas Championship tonight at WWE TLC against Natalya. It wouldn't shock us to see her lose the title tonight.
Reigning WWE Divas Champion AJ Lee is reportedly in hot water with WWE management after "causing a scene" at last Wednesday's Tribute to the Troops event in Pierce County, Washington.
ORIGINAL: According to a source, Lee saw NBC personality Michelle Beadle (who was on hand hosting the event) chatting with CM Punk backstage at the event and "freaked out." More specifically, Lee threw an obscenity-laced tired at the popular television personality. As you know, AJ and Punk are dating in real-life.
Lee comes off as being very close to the character she portrays on WWE programming, and "not in a good way," according to a source. She is expected to be disciplined for her behavior.
A message Beadle posted the following day on Twitter appears to allude to the situation: "Lost another friend to CGFN....crazy girlfriend neutering. It's real people. Check your buddies. Affects everyone."
Judging by that tweet, it sounds like AJ may have gotten jealous of Beadle talking/flirting with her boyfriend CM Punk. That is NOT confirmed though. We hope to have more shortly.

Casella unveiled its new, state-of-the-art, zero-sort recycling facility in Rutland on Nov. 18 with much fanfare. Gov. Peter Shumlin was the headliner at the grand opening attended by over 200 area business leaders, local and state officials and Casella employees.
BRISTOL — Bristol-area school administrators are looking for people who are interested in their schools' food systems, wish to see more local foods in public schools or think food education is important.
Addison Northeast Supervisory Union administrators are seeking input from these people and all members of the public as the ANeSU aims to restructure the food system of all six of its schools.
MIDDLEBURY — Middlebury Union High School officials are hoping students will get off to a running start with their classes beginning on Monday, Dec. 5, thanks to the launch of a voluntary "Zero Hour" fitness program aimed at getting participants healthier and in a better mindset for learning.
Zero Hour is the brainchild of the MUHS Coordinated School Health Team, and is based on the premise that working out can lift people's moods, sharpen their minds, improve their self-esteem, and help them get ready to learn.
RIPTON — Award-winning poet Ruth Stone, whose career thrived late in life as her sharp insights into love, death and nature received ever-growing acclaim, has died. She was 96.
Stone, who for decades lived in a farmhouse in Goshen, died Saturday, Nov. 19, of natural causes at her home in Ripton, her daughter Phoebe Stone said Thursday. She was surrounded by her daughters, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
MIDDLEBURY — The Addison County Solid Waste Management District (ACSWMD) board has approved a 2012 budget of $2,576,552 that reflects a 7-percent increase in expenses, but maintains a level fee for trash disposal and reduces the drop-off charges for some recyclables at the transfer station.
Theresa Kuczynski, manager of the ACSWMD, said the budget increase is based on the assumption the transfer station will handle an increasing amount of trash, demolition debris and recyclables next year.
BRISTOL — Local teenagers are taking risky business into their own hands, aiming to rein in teen substance abuse and other hazardous behaviors.
After the Vermont Department of Health earlier this month released the results of this year's Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS) — a biennial look at everything from teen sex to bullying — a taskforce of Mount Abraham Union middle and high school students spent a day analyzing the Bristol school's results.
MIDDLEBURY — Shoreham native and aspiring filmmaker Cosmo Pfeil's latest project is aimed at shedding light on the potential dangers of nuclear power, and while one would think he could focus his lens on his home state — which hosts Vermont Yankee — he's decided to point his camera at a facility in Tennessee.
MIDDLEBURY — The Middlebury selectboard on Dec. 6 will begin paring back the first draft of a 2012-2013 municipal budget that would require a 3.4-cent increase in the local tax rate in order to maintain existing services and capital improvement priorities.
The draft $8,504,690 spending plan, reviewed by the selectboard for the first time at a meeting last Tuesday, represents a $230,825 increase compared to this year's municipal budget. One penny on Middlebury's tax rate raises roughly $72,000.

I suggest you revisit New Order. If you remove the 80's dance remix sound they used to frost their songs with, their songs stand the test of time. They have turned out to be the best British band of the 80s, narrowly beating fellow mancunians The Fall.Originally Posted by SunDeck

Opel Insignia facelift rendered
Rendering updates the Insignia's front fascia with cues taken from the recent Ampera and Zafira models
Here is a rendering of the upcoming 2012 Opel Insignia facelift, done by WCF member Dávid Kiss.
The rendering updates the Insignia's front fascia with the latest Opel face design as seen on the Ampera and Zafira models. The front bumper lights now form a vertical column just under the headlights.
Thanks Dávid!

Huge Game! Anyone Going? I am looking for a ticket.:thumbup:
I'll catch it on TV. Can't say I like either team, but what a game it could be!
I'm rooting for a player's strike.
Haha that would be worth the price of admission :)
Colerain better play better than they did last week or this could be a really ugly game for them. As a Colerain alum, I really hope they can pull off a win but I'm also prepared for this to be a really rough game for them. I can't believe they had to play St. X and Elder for their first two games of the year! :eek:
What year did you graduate Heather?
1994 :)
I got a ticket!! Thanks to a Colerain fan!! LETS PULL THIS ONE OUT BOYS! (CARDS)
I hate it when ESPN gets basic facts wrong. Elder is not a private school. It's a archdiocesan school supported by the local parishes. St. Xavier is a private school.
Colerain up 7-3 early.

By JONATHAN DALTON Associated Press PHOENIX -- Paul Goldschmidt hit a leadoff home run in the bottom of the ninth inning and the Arizona Diamondbacks ended a four-game losing streak, beating the Miami Marlins 3-2 Tuesday night. Goldschmidt's drive bounced high off the batter's backdrop in deep center field. His 17th homer of the season was his second in as many nights, and the second game-ending home run of his career. Martin Prado also homered for the Diamondbacks. David Hernandez (3-4) threw a perfect top of the ninth for the win. Chad Qualls (2-1) lost for the first time in 27 appearances, with Goldschmidt connecting on his second pitch.

Yay! Coffee!
Here's the low-down: I'm hoping to meet someone with whom I share some common interests. Not all interests (cause I'm really not interested in dating myself). But someone who appreciates dry humor, good-hearted sarcasm, will hike a 14er, then go out for a drink. Someone who reads books, whether they be digital or not, is a big plus. I manage a coffee shop, which has been a wonderful experience, and dare I say, life-changing for me. Because of this I usually wake up before the rest of Colorado to ensure they can have their much needed caffeine. One day, I'll publish a best-seller and live in the lap of luxury, drive a Maserti, and have solid gold bathroom fixtures, but until then, I'm rather happy steaming milk and pulling espresso shots. I have two degrees in English, which I am proud of, that have greatly improved my understanding of myself and world around me. I fancy myself to be smart and thoughtful, albeit impulsive at times. Basically, I'm a nice-laid-back-reflective-colloquial-intellectual-coffee-addict. The girl I'd like to meet would: Think for herself. Be active. Be smart. And laugh loudly. That's enough for now. Like to know more? Drop a line ;)

Freida Pinto ''collects'' Alexander McQueen creations, as the late designer is always one of her favourites for red carpet wear.
The 26-year-old actress is a huge fan of The Fashion house and says the late designer has always been one of her favourites for red carpet wear.
She said: "Given the chance, I love dressing head to toe in Alexander McQueen.
"I was always a huge fan of his and will continue to be so forever. I even collect McQueen handbags as well as dresses."
Freida - who is dating her 'Slumdog Millionaire' co-star Dev Patel - also tries to wear as much colour as possible and never likes to replicate a red carpet look she has used before.
She told Britain's InStyle magazine: "I keep colour in mind and try not to repeat a shade I've used before. Everything needs to be in sync and seem like one perfect piece, one perfect look. At the end of the day, it has to have the wow factor, so whatever I wear has to be 'wow'.
"My must-haves are a little black dress and my favourite accessories. I just love a pair of simple earrings that can jazz up an entire outfit. I try to keep it simple and elegant."

Sandusky fire Capt. Jim Green recently assumed interim chief duties, replacing Paul Ricci, who retired this past week. Ricci served as chief for about three years.
Ricci recommended Green to temporarily succeed him at a recent public meeting. Sandusky city commissioners affirmed the suggestion.
"As a senior captain, I felt as if it was my responsibility to take control and take charge of the department" Green said. "When Paul left, I felt as if I needed to fill that void until we found someone"
It's not known exactly how long Green, a Castalia resident, will serve as interim chief.
An ongoing search to find a full-time fire chief started about two months ago. Spearheaded by commissioner Naomi Twine, committee members should pick a permanent chief by July.
Green's actually one of among a dozen finalists seeking to become the permanent chief.
See the other dozen fire chief candidates HERE
"We'll see what happens," Green said. "I was born and raised here, and I like the area and the people here. As far as the department, it's a good department that provides an excellent service to the citizens"
Green's assuming a leadership role during a tumultuous time for fire operations.
Earlier this year, a fiscal crunch forced commissioners to cut $1.1 million from their $16.3 million everyday operating budget.
The reductions impacted fire operations harder than any other department mainly because funds from a federal employment grant, maintaining 53 full-time positions for about three years, recently dried up, and local tax dollars can't support those manpower levels.
Less money for fire operations meant:
•Decreasing staffing levels, through attrition and not layoffs, from 53 full-time positions earlier this year to 50 today.
•Closing fire station No. 7 on Venice Road near Toft Dairy on various days beginning this past week through October.
•Slashing opportunities for overtime and training.
Additionally, Ricci and another high-ranking department commander, fire marshal Rudy Ruiz, left the department already this year.
Despite these setbacks, Green — who supports a levy or tax increase specifically funding fire operations in the future — reiterated the city has been, is and will remain safe.
"This doesn't mean that fire operations or fire services are going to be worse," Green said. "Right now, we are trying to provide the best service through these tough financial times"

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. Shane Larkin drove, dished and shot. Almost everything he did on Wednesday night was the right move especially late in the second half. Larkin had options coming out of Orlando's Dr. Phillips High School, including Miami and Florida State. He attended coach Leonard Hamilton's camps and was recruited actively by both the Seminoles and the Hurricanes. "They kind of recruited me," Larkin said. "But I'm glad I ended up in Miami." Larkin has been the engine to Miami's offense all season. And on Wednesday night, the sophomore point guard scored nine points late in the game as the No. 3 Hurricanes overcame a furious Florida State rally to grab a 74-68 win at the Donald L. Tucker Center. Larkin had a game-high 22 points, shooting 9 of 15 from the floor, and Reggie Johnson added 14 points as the Hurricanes improved to 11-0 in the Atlantic Coast Conference. "In the second half we didn't have an answer for Larkin," Florida State coach Leonard Hamilton said of Larkin, t...

Why does this medication cause pain in lower right side?
Why does mdication cause numbness in my left arm and hand which is also where I have 3 trigger fingers now.
Responses (1)
27 Jun 2010
I am very confused. I know it can cause joint pain.
But trigger finger is caused by:
By Mayo Clinic staff
"The cause of trigger finger is a narrowing of the sheath that surrounds the tendon in the affected finger. Tendons are fibrous cords that attach muscle to bone. Each tendon is surrounded by a protective sheath — which in turn is lined with a substance called tenosynovium. The tenosynovium releases lubricating fluid that allows the tendon to glide smoothly within its protective sheath as you bend and straighten your finger — like a cord through a lubricated pipe.
But if the tenosynovium becomes inflamed from repetitive strain injury or overuse or due to inflammatory conditions, such as rheumatoid arthritis, the space within the tendon sheath can become narrow and constricting. The tendon can't glide through the sheath easily, at times catching the finger in a bent position before popping straight. With each catch, the tendon itself becomes irritated and inflamed, worsening the problem. With prolonged inflammation, scarring and thickening (fibrosis) can occur and bumps (nodules) can form."
I find in the articles that I have read that it can cause joint pain. I do not find tendon pain.
Please correct me if I am wrong . I would love to read an article that that shows Tendon problems are caused by this drug.
I wish you all the best.

The original Joe Danger is one of the most renowned titles across PSN and Xbox Live, bar none. The orignal PlayStation Network title was a smash-hit, and beloved by Sony gamers worldwide.

Novak's last effort, from 50 yards in the closing minutes, iced the win for the Chargers. In six weeks, the Chargers have been honored three times. QB Philip Rivers won the offensive award twice. "It's a great honor," Novak said. "It's actually a three-man award. Actually, 11-man. All the guys up front, holder, snapper, they all did a great job."--CB Shareece Wright (hamstring) was a full participant.--WR Vincent Brown continues to emerge as one of QB Philip Rivers' favorite targets. Brown, in his third year, has 24 catches which leads all the Chargers' wideouts. He's collected 239 yards and a touchdown as well. Brown missed last year with a broken ankle.--CB Derek Cox did something on Monday night that no other member of the Chargers' secondary had done all year: intercept a pass. Cox's pick of Andrew Luck sealed the win and gave the defense its second interception of the season. The other one came to defensive tackle Cam Thomas on a tipped pass in the season's opening minute.--ILB Donald Butler (groin) didn't work on Wednesday but will try to do so later in the week. He wasn't able to play on Sunday.--Don't overlook the play of C Nick Hardwick. As the front line has been ravaged by injuries, Hardwick has been the anchor in the middle, the lone lineman not to miss playing time this season. Hardwick and QB Philip Rivers have great chemistry as two of the team's leaders. "I think he is having one of his best years," Rivers said.--CB Johnny Patrick (chest) was a full participant.--DE Corey Liuget (shoulder) was a full participant.--T D.J. Fluker (calf) was a full participant.--OLB Jarret Johnson (hamstring) was limited but should go on Sunday. He was almost able to play on Monday. Johnson is back practicing and that's a good sign for the Chargers. Johnson was brought in last year to set the edge on running plays and give way to the pass-rushers on passing downs. But with all the Chargers; injuries, he's been playing more and his three sacks lead the Chargers. Johnson didn't play on Monday because of a sore hamstring.

Alan Pardew has admitted the obvious today, and the fact is that we are now in a terrible position in the league in 14th place with just 14 points from 13 league games, just 4 points above the drop zone.
Alan Pardew at the Benton training ground this week
In the last three league games we have not played well, and against teams we would normally be looking to win against – West Ham, Swansea and Southampton – we have three defeats in a row – and we are dropping like a brick in the league table.
If we had beaten West Ham we would have been in 6th position in the league, but now we are 7th bottom, and Alan Pardew is only too well aware of Newcastle's precarious league position at the moment:
"To be honest, that's the team that needs to go to Stoke – there's nobody else available." "We need to make sure we're strong enough for Wednesday, and that's why I was taking my time."
"We're going to have to recover." "For Newcastle, that was a tough result." "It's put us in a terrible position in the league."
After the disastrous defeat at Southampton, Alan Pardew spent a long time in the dressing room with his players, before emerging to face the press for the customary TV and press interviews.
We have to hope the same thing doesn't happen tomorrow night, because a fourth straight defeat in the league would be very hard to take for Newcastle fans, and it would be calamitous for the Newcastle club.
And that's an understatement.
And after all, the team we field tomorrow night will be only three players short of our very best team – and we'll only be missing Yohan Cabaye, Ben Arfa and Steven Taylor.

As fun and fresh the game is, there are a few minor issues. Controlling Faith can be challenging, especially given the first-person view because it's difficult to determine, say, the distance between two rooftops when you take a leap. (The trick is to point the camera down a touch, and if you need to, activate the slow-motion option). Some moves also proved difficult, such as hopping between two close walls. You might also get frustrated at the lack of a map on the HUD, because you won't know where to go next if there are no red objects in sight. On that note, if you complete the story, you can unlock the hard mode, which doesn't give you any red hints at all.
Minor niggles aside, Mirror's Edge is a fantastic first-person adventure worth every dime. While Electronic Arts often banks on its proven franchises, such as Madden NFL, The Sims and Need For Speed, it's good to see the publisher take chances on all-new game concepts like Mirror's Edge.

I agree, but that said, you - or a shows writer - can't be afraid to make a villian gay. Because then you're going to far towards political correctness.
One of my favorite sci-fi novel is "Dune," the chief villian, Baron Valdamir Harkonnan, is a homosexual (also a pedophile and a sadist) having him be such in no way harms those of my sexual orientation.
I don't find gay psych or evil charactors insulting in the least. We are the good people and the bad.
So maybe I don't agree
Oh, no, not at all. I love the Dune series, too. Herbert, and his son in carrying on the series in later books and prequels, created a thoroughly loathsome villain in the Baron. They didn't use his being a homosexual as shorthand for "evil" or "twisted". It was an incidental detail about the character that wasn't given primary focus or play.
I don't automatically find making a villain gay or bisexual offensive. I find it offensive if that's the primary way the writers try to use to drive that point home, and there are way too many examples out there where they do just that.

Thomas stopped drinking shortly after he took over as chair of the beleaguered EEOC. He made a number of management improvements there, including toughening the agency's approach to enforcement in individual cases. By the end of his tenure, the Washington Post would applaud him for his "quiet but persistent leadership" that increased the number of cases that were processed and filed.
He continued to have conflicts with the Reagan administration, and seems to hold some administration officials, including Brad Reynolds, the head of the civil rights division in the Justice Department, in low regard. He describes being asked to meet with some officials in the White House Mess, and is told how he should be doing certain things at EEOC.
Thomas responds: "There are only two things I have to do: stay black and die."
He would be the administration's second-highest ranking African-American official, but he was critical of the administration's approach to race.
"I found it impossible to get the administration to pay sufficient attention to such matters," Thomas wrote. "As I told a reporter… 'conservatives don't exactly break their necks to tell blacks that they're welcome.'"
His offer to help with Reagan's reelection "met with near total indifference," he wrote. "The president's reelection strategy didn't include the black vote, there was no role for me."
In 1983, he flew to Chicago for a speech to a women's rights organization, Women Employed, and he wrote that he is struck by how "angry they seemed to be about their lot in life." His old consciousness about race and class seems close to the surface, as he wrote: "How could these well-off white women be more bitter than the poor blacks and Hispanics with whom I met regularly at EEOC?"
His brother Myers, who was living in Chicago, met him after the meeting. Thomas wrote that his battles at EEOC and his anxieties about his personal life "drained me of what little energy I had." He was looking forward to a quiet evening with Myers, his wife and their daughter. But Myers instead had heartbreaking news.
"Your daddy died," he told Thomas as he drove.
"You mean C?" Thomas asked, referring to their biological father they called by an initial.
"No. Myers Anderson — the only daddy you ever had," Myers said.
Anderson had suffered a stroke when coming out of the fields of his Georgia farm, Myers said, and he was dead by the time he arrived at the hospital.
It came as a brutal shock to Thomas, and he pummeled himself for not fully reconciling with Anderson. He had visited him in Georgia only the month before, when the two men shared their first and only embrace.
In the book, Thomas wrote of how he "hated myself for having succumbed in college to radical ideologies… that we only came together at the last possible moment, bridging the gulf of mistrust with a single tentative embrace," Thomas wrote. "I would never be able to tell him how right he'd been, or how much I admired or loved him, or that it had been immaturity and false pride that kept me from forgiving him for the harshness with which he had treated Myers and me."
Thomas says it was "one of those moments in your life where you wish you had reconciled totally and had the full benefit of that life and closeness of the person you admired and wanted to be like."
Their embrace, he says, was a "beginning, but it's not nearly enough."

After the morning session of the 3002nd meeting of the Environment Council in Brussels, where conclussions were adopted on biodiversity, the EU Ministers for Environment focused conclusions on climate change. They evaluated the outcomes of the Copenhagen climate conference, and stressed the opportunities for immediate implementation offered by the Copenhagen Accord. They requested the Commission to present a study of the comparability of greenhouse gas emsision reductions offered by third countries, as well as an impact assessment of the EU's conditional move to a 30% emissions cut.
They also debated for the first time, the proposed regulation setting CO2 emissions standards for light vans, so as to guide further work on this file.
The afternoon session was chaired by Elena Espinosa Mangana, Spanish Minister for Environment, Rural and Maritime Affairs, along with Connie Hedegaard, Member of the EC in charge of Climate Action, which gave both a joint press conference after the session.

Contract bundling seems to be a difficult issue for people to understand. The June 16 issue of Federal Computer Week is a case in point. On two successive pages 18 and 19 you find squibs relevant to the raging contract-bundling debate.
One article used the expression "contract bundling." It reported results of an FCW.com reader poll that posed the question, "Does contract bundling have a negative impact on small businesses?" The poll tally: 78.8 percent of respondents said yes, 21.2 percent said no.
The other squib was a Circuit item with the headline, "Lessons learned: Smart contracting." The item discussed a new report from the General Accounting Office on the Defense Department's service contracting, titled "Best Practices: Improved Knowledge of DOD Service Contracts Could Reveal Significant Savings." That squib never mentioned the expression "contract bundling."
The GAO report, according to FCW, stated that DOD could generate huge savings if it followed the successful practice "of several large commercial firms that have reduced services costs by analyzing procurement data across different divisions and finding places where they can capitalize on their buying power." This concept, as GAO notes, is called spend analysis, for which a robust nongovernment business exists.
Does anyone want to guess what that money-saving, GAO-endorsed concept means? You guessed it contract bundling! Companies look for opportunities to consolidate, or bundle, smaller contracts into larger ones because they know that doing so capitalizes on their buying power.
Anyone who buys giant economy sizes at the supermarket instead of single-servings knows the underlying common sense of this approach. Yet this runs afoul of the anti-bundling mantra.
FCW's poll question was misleading. With all due respect, asking this question is similar to asking if the automobile had a negative impact on small-business buggy whip manufacturers or horse manure sweepers, and then using the results to make conclusions about the overall impact of the auto on small business. It is probably true that contract bundling has a negative impact on the volume of small-business contracting with the government, though even that statement is somewhat controversial.
Even though small businesses held certain contracts in the past, there is no guarantee that those contracts will continue. If small businesses are losing ground on bundled contracts, they are gaining ground elsewhere in the system.
Friends of small business in the federal marketplace should concentrate their efforts on promoting the ability of small business to sell to the government in areas where they are competitive. They should not prop up uneconomic ventures kept alive only by contracting decisions made on shaky business grounds.

Markets are all across the city throughout the week, but Rattigan's favorite is the Asheville City Market on Saturday mornings downtown.
"I go religiously with my family every week, bring the kids and play," Rattigan said. "It's the way I plan my meals for the week."
But if you are on vacation, you might want to have somebody else cook for you.
If seared scallops, roasted duck breast, house made chorizo or Georgia quail whet your appetite, go visit Jacob Sessoms, chef and owner of Table who was named one of 20 semifinalists for a 2010 James Beard Foundation Restaurant and Chef Award.
For a bit of authentic Southern cooking, check out local institution Tupelo Honey Café. Check out the cheesy grit cakes, stuffed with a blend of cheeses, drizzled with a spicy red chili sauce, the blackened catfish or the buttermilk fried pork rib chop. But be prepared to wait. Crowds line up, especially for Sunday breakfasts, at this non-reservation eatery.
For something completely different, try one of Rattigan's favorite spots: Zambra, a tapas restaurant serving up a mix of Spanish, Portuguese, and Moroccan dishes.
"The chef is really great at using the best of the ingredients for local purveyors. And their wine list is phenomenal," Rattigan said.
For a touch of the Obama fame, swing by the 12 Bones Smokehouse, where the president had a barbecue lunch the last time he was in town.
Other great dining options include: Early Girl Eatery for breakfast (get the biscuits), the Well-Bred Bakery and Café in nearby Weaverville for breakfast or lunch and Cucina 24 for fantastic Italian food.
Finally, Asheville has plenty of ties to the literary world worth exploring.
F. Scott Fitzgerald, author of "The Great Gatsby," stayed at the Grove Park Inn while his wife received psychiatric treatment at a nearby hospital. While waiting, Fitzgerald is said to have drank on the inn's large porches while admiring the view or seeking the romantic company of a number of young ladies.
One local tale says that a picture once hung in the Grove Park labeled as "F. Scott Fitzgerald and wife Zelda." Despite the caption's claim, in reality the photograph depicted Fitzgerald and one of his lovers.
Ashville is also home to Thomas Wolfe, author of "Look Homeward, Angel" and "You Can't Go Home Again."
But the town hasn't always been so friendly to him. A wave of anger swept through Asheville after "Look Homeward, Angel" was published in 1929. Locals read a book portraying their town as less than desirable and describing them as ignorant and unfriendly. Anger and even threats against his life kept Wolfe away until 1937.
Today, the city embraces him with the annual Thomas Wolfe Festival, a four-day event built around his Oct. 3 birthday. The festival highlights the life and times of the author through workshops, writing contests, tours and theatrical interpretations of his work.
The 29-room boarding house his mother ran is also now preserved as a state historic site and memorial to the author.

2014 MTV EMAs — Winners List
The 2014 MTV Europe Music Awards took place on Nov. 9, and we've got a list of the winners right here.
The 2014 MTV Europe Music Awards took place on Nov. 9, and we've got a list of the winners right here.
Miley Cyrus got people talking when she sent her 2014 MTV VMAs date -- Jesse Helt, a young homeless man -- to accept her Video of the Year accolade. Only days after the awards ceremony, news broke that he is a wanted man.
Did Miley Cyrus diss Ed Sheeran at the 2014 MTV Video Music Awards last night? That's what many people seem to think.
Did you hear that? Oh, that was just the sound of Taylor Swift absolutely killing (in a good way) her first live performance of 'Shake It Off' at the 2014 MTV VMAs tonight.
Wow. Just ... wow. Demi Lovato looked absolutely incredible in a glamorous scarlet gown at the 2014 MTV VMAs red carpet.
We're going to credit 'Shake It Off' for emboldening Taylor Swift to wear an itsy-bitsy blue romper to the 2014 MTV VMAs red carpet.
The 2014 MTV Video Music Awards kicked off with a 'Bang Bang' trio of superstars including Jessie J, Nicki Minaj and Ariana Grande.
It's that time of year again: The 2014 MTV Video Music Awards are upon us!
Over the years, we've seen some of music's most outrageous moments happen during the VMAs, and just as exciting as the show itself is the fashion worn by our favorite stars
We may have to wait until Christmas to see James Franco and Seth Rogen in 'The Interview,' but the pair are already hard at work making sure that audiences are extremely, perhaps uncomfortably familiar with their characters through a 'Very Special VMA Special.'
It looks like the 2014 MTV Video Music Awards are shaping up to be all about Beyonce.
Tyler Posey of 'Teen Wolf' fame is joining forces with pop singer Zendaya to become what may be the best-looking team to ever host the 2014 MTV Movie Awards Pre-Show. MTV has announced that the two stars will be the lead reporters of the red carpet activity for the live pre-show on Sunday, April 13 at 8:30PM ET.
Robin Thicke is finally speaking out about his much-maligned 2013 MTV Video Music Awards performance with Miley Cyrus. Initial reports said he was peeved about the whole thing because Cyrus' tongue-slobbering spectacle took away from his big VMA debut. Is there any truth to that?

BlackBerry rolls out OS 10.3.1 for existing smartphones; includes Amazon Appstore and BlackBerry Blend
BlackBerry started rolling out its latest software to existing devices like the Z10, Z30, Q10, and more.
BlackBerry started rolling out its latest software to existing devices like the Z10, Z30, Q10, and more.
The UK's IT security agency CESG has updated recommendations for using of new devices.
BlackBerry 10 handsets get software update, starting this week, to add Priority Hub and other features.
BlackBerry updates lineup for emerging markets with the BlackBerry 9720.
The Q5 is one of the first bearing the revamped BlackBerry OS, but is a confusing mix of elegant software and dowdy hardware.
BlackBerry isn't selling a lot of phones running the latest OS. The company has lots of cash so what if it hedged its bets and built a Windows 8 hybrid for the enterprise?
BlackBerry's pay-to-port campaign to drive up the number of BlackBerry 10 OS apps is winding down.
BlackBerry is having its big hoedown in Orlando this week, and has announced that version 10.1 of the OS will hit the Z10 later this week.
The newest BlackBerry has good hardware and a refreshing new OS. The problem is that it's not enough.
The UK's only national 4G network, right now, will also be the first to support BlackBerry Enterprise Service 10 for its corporate and public sector customers.
BlackBerry 10 users now have a choice of more than 100,000 apps - which includes Android apps ported to the platform. But do users really care about the difference between ports and apps built specifically for the platform?
BlackBerry is continuing to tout its new BlackBerry platform for business users, as it signs up tens of businesses in the UK to test BlackBerry 10 devices and software.
The Z10 is a nicely designed handset with a superb touchscreen and good specifications that include LTE and NFC support. The new BlackBerry 10 OS offers a decent user experience once you get used to it, although we'd like to see a physical home button.
I have been using the Z10 with BlackBerry 10 for the past five days and am finding things I really like about the OS and device and a few things I don't. Let me know if you have any questions as I continue to work on a full review.
BlackBerry has announced its Qwerty-equipped Q10 handset but there were precious few of them in the launch. ZDNet managed to track one down and get a quick hands-on demo.
With the Z10, BlackBerry finally has a modern smartphone — but it's the operating system that matters.
