Welcome to my third installment for the Austin Food Blogger Alliance City Guide.
The topic for this installment is Paleo! For those who are unfamiliar with the Paleo diet (short for Paleolithic), the diet consists mainly of fish and meats (ex: grassfed meat is great), vegetables, nuts, fruits, etc. The Caveman diet (another name for it), excludes all things refined – such as sugar, processed oils (canola oil is a no-no), legumes, grains, dairy, etc.
Just like any lifestyle where you adhere to a certain type of diet – eating out might be a challenge at first. For me, I have Celiac disease so I do not adhere by a diet just because I want to. I do so by medical necessity. [Read more...]

Jennifer Lawrence's Wardrobe Malfunction: Did She Rip Her Dress at the SAG Awards?
When Jennifer Lawrence walked up to the podium at the 2013 Screen Actors Guild Awards to accept her award for Best Female Actor, it looked like maybe she had ripped open her dress right around the upper thigh — you could briefly see the lining of her gown, as if it had split.
But as E! News explained, the original Christian Dior gown showed clear distinctions connected by a sheer lining, whereas Jen's dress hid the lining so people couldn't tell that it was a tiered gown. But, they explained, once she went up to the stage to get her award, a combination of her pulling up the top part of the dress and perhaps having her train stuck on her heel — or maybe some other way of the bottom part pulling down — ended up revealing the lining.
So it was a wardrobe malfunction, just not a dress tear. You can kinda get a feel for what happened around the :52 mark of her acceptance video, below. She just wanted to show us the silver lining.

Bluejays pull away from Badgers
Las Vegas - The Wisconsin Badgers went into the Las Vegas Invitational with a familiar look, allowing a mere 51 points per game while beating up on the likes of Southeastern Louisiana, Cornell and Presbyterian.
But Doug McDermott and the No. 14 Creighton Bluejays made the Badgers look defenseless Friday night.
McDermott scored 30 points as Creighton posted an 84-74 victory over UW in the semifinals of the tournament at Orleans Arena. It was the second loss of the season for the Badgers (3-2), who gave up 74 points in falling to Florida last week. »Read Full Article(34)
Hot-shooting Badgers double up Presbyterian
Madison - Two nights earlier, Presbyterian coach Gregg Nibert watched Creighton burn his team with 50% shooting from three-point range.
"We said we didn't think anybody could shoot any better than Creighton against our zone," Nibert said Tuesday night after his first visit to the Kohl Center.
Wisconsin's shooters proved Nibert wrong, at least for one remarkable half. »Read Full Article(6)
State budget debate will focus on $467 million in reserves
Madison - Gov. Scott Walker's administration said Tuesday that the state is expected to go into its 2013-'15 budget with $467 million in reserves, setting up a debate over priorities ranging from tax cuts to education to further strengthening of the state's finances.
To put that figure into context, the reserves amount to about 3% of the $14.36 billion the state has budgeted to spend this year.
Administration Secretary Mike Huebsch said Tuesday that the state's improved finances give Walker the ability to consider an income-tax cut - a priority not included in the latest numbers - or increase state aid to public schools, though no final decisions have been made. »Read Full Article(543)
Oak Creek signs off on Waukesha water deal
Waukesha - The City of Waukesha's history-making quest for Lake Michigan water moved a step forward this week as Oak Creek officials signed a revised letter of intent to be the seller.
Waukesha's Common Council approved the revision at its meeting Tuesday. The letter must be signed by Mayor Jeff Scrima and Treasurer Thomas Neill before the agreement can be forwarded to the state Department of Natural Resources for its review.
This water deal is one of the last pieces Waukesha needs to complete its application to divert up to an average of 10.9 million gallons of lake water a day by 2050 across the subcontinental divide separating the Great Lakes and Mississippi River watersheds, Water Utility general manager Dan Duchniak said. »Read Full Article(488)
Do Black Friday deals really offer the best value?
It's a recurring question for Black Friday shoppers who brave the weather, the crowds and the traffic jams and wait in lines for hours to snag a deal - and even for those who stayed at home: Do you really get the best deal on Black Friday?
The short answer: It depends what you're looking for and who you ask. But experts agree that if you aren't using the Internet or your phone to check prices and research products before you buy, you're likely missing out.
According to the customer service research firm, ForeSee, nearly one in five consumers used their phone to compare products and prices in stores during the 2011 holiday shopping season, up from 3% in 2009. And those who have done Black Friday price comparisons online may have discovered that many items are already on sale online - or at least they will be starting on Thanksgiving Day and lasting through Cyber Monday. »Read Full Article(38)
FBI says Page acted alone in Sikh temple shootings
Wade Michael Page acted alone when he fatally shot six worshippers and injured four others in his rampage at the Sikh Temple of Wisconsin in Oak Creek on Aug. 5, the FBI said Tuesday.
In its statement, the FBI said it found no evidence to suggest the attack was "directed or facilitated by any white supremacist group." The FBI and Justice Department initially had said they were looking into Page's killing spree as an act of domestic terrorism.
Teresa L. Carlson, special agent in charge of the FBI's Milwaukee office, said the investigation was now officially over. »Read Full Article(5)

Walmart workers plan Thanksgiving walkout
Several Milwaukee-area Walmart stores are among those where some employees plan to protest working on Thanksgiving - and other concerns - by walking off the job as the holiday shopping season begins this week, a union spokesman said Tuesday.
Marc Goumbri, an organizer with the United Food and Commercial Workers International Union, said he couldn't disclose the locations of the Walmarts marked for protest because the workers didn't want to alert management or be subject to intimidation. But he confirmed metro Milwaukee was among big cities targeted for employee strikes on Thanksgiving or Black Friday.
"Several locations," Goumbri said Tuesday when asked which Milwaukee-area sites would be involved. »Read Full Article(524)

Commission reinstates Milwaukee police officer fired by Flynn
The city Fire and Police Commission has reinstated Milwaukee police Officer Eric D. Wurth, who was fired in May for violating the state law against encouraging a violation of probation and for associating with a woman known to be engaged in criminal behavior.
Wurth also conducted records checks on that woman and on another woman without an official police reason, according to a complaint Milwaukee Police Chief Edward Flynn filed with the commission.
From June through December 2011, Wurth conducted 24 records checks on the first woman, whose name was redacted from the complaint. The first time he checked, he found a warrant for her arrest because she had missed a court appearance. He later became aware of more warrants on the woman, for felony violation of probation, felony dangerous drugs and misdemeanor larceny, the chief's complaint says. »Read Full Article(25)

Milwaukee police misconduct costs city $14 million, group says
A coalition of residents Tuesday presented the U.S. attorney's office with hundreds of pages of documentation they say proves Milwaukee police have violated citizens' rights through using excessive force, engaging in racial profiling and generating misconduct complaints that have cost taxpayers more than $14 million over the past 10 years.
The coalition gathered the materials after federal officials announced they were seeking public input into whether to conduct a "pattern and practice" investigation into the Police Department. Such an investigation would examine whether the department tolerates illegal or abusive behavior by officers and whether the department failed to prevent or address that type of conduct. Such an inquiry could result in federal oversight of the department.
Advocates and civil rights attorneys have said for years that such an investigation is needed. In September, after questions about the death of Derek Williams in police custody came to light, federal officials announced they were considering it. »Read Full Article(39)
Rutgers to join Big Ten, though when remains uncertain
Madison - The worst-kept secret in college athletics in 2012 became official Tuesday when Rutgers announced it would leave the Big East to join the Big Ten Conference.
The Big East requires 27 months of notification by departing members. That would appear to preclude Rutgers from joining the Big Ten in 2014. Maryland is set to join the Big Ten in 2014.

UW-Stout chancellor dispels myths surrounding Thanksgiving
If your Thanksgiving decorations include pilgrims in dark clothing and pointy hats, happily sharing the harvest bounty with American Indians, put them away if you care about historical accuracy.
University of Wisconsin-Stout Chancellor Charles W. Sorensen, who has spent much of his academic career studying the period of American history that includes the first Thanksgiving, tackled several myths and misconceptions surrounding Thanksgiving in a Q&A posted today at the university's website.
According to Sorensen, the biggest misconception about Thanksgiving is " that it introduced a period of understanding and tolerance among the early settlers about the original Americans, those who were here when the English arrived. It did not." »Read Full Blog Post(11)
Study: The cheapest place to buy Thanksgiving dinner is ...
Sam's Club and Target -- not Wal-Mart, according to a study by a Bloomberg Industries analyst out today.
We've known for a while that the grocery market is getting a lot more competitive here in the Milwaukee area. Still, I think some people will be surprised at the Thanksgiving meal result, especially in light of Wal-Mart's aggressive marketing about low prices, which we've seen a lot of in recent months as new Walmart stores have opened in the Milwaukee area.
But apparently, Target stores -- which now carry fresh produce and other grocery items -- are giving other stores a run for their money. »Read Full Blog Post(9)

$68,000 concession stand prompts review in Greenfield
The Greenfield School District will investigate how the costs got so high for a new concession stand at Greenfield High School.
Doubts expressed by some Greenfield residents, piled on top of doubts of some Greenfield School Board members, about whether the school district paid too much for the concession stand triggered that decision by the board Monday.
The 12-by-12-foot structure cost $68,000. It was built as part of a massive update of the high school that was paid for with $48.5 million in funds approved in referendums in 2007 and 2008. »Read Full Article(15)

Whitefish Bay trustees approve slight increase in village levy
Whitefish Bay - Whitefish Bay residents will see only a slight increase in the village portion of their tax bills next year under the village's 2013 budget.
Following a public hearing on Monday, the Village Board approved a resolution adopting the approximately $14.2 million budget, which sets the 2013 property tax levy at nearly $10.6 million.

Oconomowoc High School teachers say transformation plan causing burnout, low morale
Oconomowoc Area School District - If they agree on little else at this point, both sides say it is too early to tell whether the new transformation plan at Oconomowoc High School is working.
The plan, which was rolled out last spring for implementation with the start of the 2012-13 school year, called for a new approach to student learning, increased teacher workload and pay. It also reduced staff by 15 positions and created a huge savings for the School District.
While the plan looks like a win-win on paper, teachers at OHS - who agreed to speak on the condition of anonymity - claim it is an unpopular initiative, has led to poor morale and will cause staff burnout. The Focus contacted numerous teachers for comment for this story, but just two were willing to speak. »Read Full Article(27)

Harley-Davidson asks judge to dismiss cruise-control lawsuit
Harley-Davidson has asked a Texas judge to dismiss claims from a motorcyclist who says defective cruise control caused his bike to hit a concrete highway barrier.
In the lawsuit, William Simmons said he was injured in July 2009 when the cruise control on his bike engaged as he entered a curved ramp on Interstate 45. He said that he applied the brakes, but the malfunction caused him to lose control of the bike.
Harley said there was not "one scintilla of evidence" of a design or manufacturing defect that caused the crash.

River Falls - A real estate agency has dropped a residential listing in River Falls after the mother of three slain girls urged it to cancel the sale of the home where her daughters were killed.
In an email to an Edina Realty agent, Jessica Schaffhausen warned the sale of the house would mean tens of thousands of dollars for the girls' father, who's charged with killing them. Five-year-old Cecilia, 8-year-old Sophie and 11-year-old Amara Schaffhausen were killed in the home they shared with their mother on July 10. Their father lived in North Dakota.
A spokeswoman for Edina Realty, Maria Verven, tells the Star Tribune the agency canceled the listing after receiving Schaffhausen's request. Verven says the defendant's family approached the agency about putting the house on the market. It was listed at $229,000.
Condo owners sue to block Grafton Meijer project
A Grafton couple who own a condo near the planned future home of a Meijer supermarket and discount store has filed a lawsuit seeking to block that development.
Jack and Michelle Corrao claim the value of their property will be hurt by the 191,352-square-foot store, to be built on 33 acres east of Port Washington Road and south of the Home Depot and OfficeMax stores. That site is near the I-43/Highway 60 interchange.
The Corraos live in the Hunters Lane condominium development, which is across Port Washington Road from the development site. »Read Full Blog Post(17)
Tosans might be allowed to raise chickens after all
A panel of aldermen got a serious lesson in the care of poultry last week, and, then asked city staff to draft an ordinance that would allow residents to keep chickens on Wauwatosa properties.
Municipalities across the country, including Madison, Milwaukee, and even New York City, allow residents to keep chickens.
Seeing chicken-owning as a way to demonstrate sustainability, build community and educate children that not all food comes wrapped in plastic, the Community Development Committee voted, 6-2, in favor of an ordinance that would be modeled on Milwaukee's ordinance for a one-year trial, and provide an assessment of permitting and enforcement costs. »Read Full Article(5)

On Tap Today: Happy Thanksgiving...now hear some Christmas music
If you love eating to the point of exhaustion (and really, who among us doesn't), Thanksgiving is truly the most wonderful time of year. But it doesn't really lend itself to good music now does it, whereas Christmas has oh so many holiday chestnuts just begging to be listened to again and again.
So our radio stations are already playing holiday songs. And Christmas shows, like Brian Setzer Orchestra's "Christmas Rocks! Extravaganza," are already coming to town.
Tonight is the first in a two-day stint at the Potawatomi Bingo Casino's Northern Lights Theater, and the first holiday concert of a busy season that'll include local holiday tour stops for everyone from Martina McBride to John Tesh to Clay Aiken to Sufjan Stevens. »Read Full Blog Post(6)
Forecast: Warm through Thanksgiving, then a big change
Clouds will slowly decrease throughout the day Tuesday leading to mainly clear skies with just a bit of patchy fog Tuesday night and lots of sunshine Wednesday, according to WTMJ-TV (Channel 4) meteorologist Scott Steele.
Dry weather should continue into Thanksgiving Day, though there could be an isolated shower late Thursday, Steele says. High temperatures Tuesday should reach 54 degrees, and highs Wednesday and Thursday should reach 60, way above the normal high of 44.
Look for a dramatic change in temperatures for Friday and the weekend as a powerful cold front sweeps through the state.

A windows mess in the task bar
I have configured the "triple height" in my task bar under windows xp pro sp3 because usually I have to use multiples folders.
I use splendid scripts from DC that require that the Complete path be showed in the title window (Folder Options)
Obviosly I don't want to change from Windows Explorer to another soft because of the level of personalization I have.
I only would like to see better the titles of my windows in the task bar. Or apply some addon to change the color of some of them and to be stable.
What soft for Windows xp pro sp3 can do this ?
Best Regards

I really like this game and it has been getting mostly better in the 5 months I have been playing. I really don't understand the hate I'm seeing here. Is that just standard for the MMORPG forums or something?
The development model is different than most but the combat is just plain fun. What gives?

I can say I honestly dont hate the game. I just gave up on it.
Its not what they hyped it up to be, and I am talking PGI. So I put it down and walked away, because I have seen this song and dance before.
"Give us money, give us money, we are working on it making it better, it will have this and that, and it will be perfect..."
Meanwhile a few months later, and the same bugs are in game and the same lack of features but new pretty colors.
"Give us money, give us money, we are working on it, making it better, it will have this and that, and it will be perfect..."
Rinse and repeat.
I seen it with Mortal Online, WWIIOnline and several other MMOs that are now dead. I think PGI had good intentions but bit off WAY more than they could chew with the franchise and the scope they were originally shooting for. Its sad but I dont think there will be a true Mechwarrior Online game outside of MWLL, or if EA remakes Multi-Player Battletech: 3025.
So much crap, so little quality.

It doesn't help that the devs just flat out insult the player-base evey time they open their mouths; ECM has been STUPID broken ever since it came out, and the devs won't even admit that there is a problem, much less commit to fixing it, and now they're steadily fucking up the rest of the game trying to change everything else so that ECM seems OK.
They won't even answer questions, they just post something completely unrelated to the issue that was brought up, claim that they answered the question, and lock the thread.
Well, I'm old school; the earlier, real Mechwarrior games were my all-time favorites, and this is just insulting to the franchise. I will be doing everything I can here and on every other gaming forum to kill this game so that someone else will have a chance to make a decent Mechwarrior MMO.

I don't like it because it is just world of tanks with maps that seem smaller, and a static viewpoint. I was hoping it would be more of an open world game. When I played it I saw it wasn't. I don't hate it though, it's just not good imo.

It really explains why, in some cases, players hold such deep hatred for mmos. Maybe these feelings are easily transferrable from mmo to mmo and thus explains a lot of the negatively we see on these boards. Oh well. I played the beta and it didn't really quite suit my taste, but I don't feel the need to bash and kill it before it has a chance to grow. And this is coming from someone who regularly played at the Battletech center at Navy Pier in Chicago in the 90's.

Not exactly; I understand that each iteration will make certain changes,and I have no problem with that. I have a problem when the changes are unbalancing.
ECM is a case in point: In every other MW game, there was a back-and-forth between ECM, BAP, NARC, TAG, and Artemis systems; in MWO, ECM counters everything and there is no reason to use any of the other systems because you run into ECM pretty much every round.
It would be different if there were any plans to address the issues, but they don't even admit that the problems exist. Netcode is "fixed;" oh, it's still there, but you aren't allowed to talk about it because they "fixed" it. They "solved" the crash to desktop bug; you still crash to the desktop, but it's not a bug, anymore apparently.
I could go on, but I'm sick of talking about it. Here's hoping it dies a quick and painful death, opening up the franchise to people with IQs higher than their shoe size.

The #1 thing that PGI was doing wrong was how it was communicating with the community. They are doing better.
They might not succeed but I think there is some chance MWO could become a really good game.
You don't have to pay any money to play and spending a small ammount makes a big difference.
I'm very interested in what games you actually think are good? Are there any?

Just a boring FPS you grind XP to get unlocks that has no more a future than any other FPS game. Of course you could go the route of wasting your money but you are fool if you think it matters.
Originally posted by joker965
No; no, no, no, no, no! The "counters" are nothing of the kind!
Again, this is a case of them ignoring the actual problem and "fixing" things that aren't relevant.
Oh, so a PPC will counter ECM for 5 seconds? That would be really interesting, if it were at all practical to hit the small, fast light mechs with PPCs in the first place, and even then 5 seconds isn't long enough to get a lock, fire, and have the missiles get there, assuming that the ECM mech isn't actually faster than the missiles!
Oh, so 15,000 GXP and a 2mil c-bill module will extend the range you can detect ECM up to a whole 250m? Again, if it were at all practical to keep small, fast mechs in a certain range to begin with, that might even make sense.
What about ECM cutting off communication for PUGs but not for premades? What about it completely locking down 3 different chassis', i.e. they are literally unable to fight ECM mechs without help from teammates? What about ECM doing far, FAR more than it did in any previous battletech/mechwarrior game, while BAP, Artemis, and NARC are all far weaker.
ECM even counters TAG! It never did that! That doesn't even make sense, from any perspective; it violates the rules, it violates balance, and it violates the laws of physics.
Half of all "serious" players (8-man teams, by the devs' own admission) play ECM mechs, and almost all of those are 2 chassis', out of over 50. So, 40% of "serious" players run4% of the available mechs. That doesn't just "suggest" that something is wrong, it spells it out in huge letters in the night sky in man-made supernovae.
The game is broken, and PGI won't even acknowledge the problems. It is dead.

MWO is still a fantastic game with some rough edges in the very beginning.
The big weakness of PGI is how they handle ECM that really the majority hates.
Aside of that the game gets more polish, the last patch did wonders to the stability and performance of the game.
Yeah, they are behind the schedule - but what Devs are not behind the schedule?
You cant do anything wrong playing the game bcs its a real F2P title!

I enjoy the game. No hate from me. The people who complain about ECM are just bad at the game and rely on LRMs or Streaks.

Goddamit, Thorq, that is not happening! You and about half a dozen other guys are claiming that, and for all I know, it helped all of you, but all I have seen is the bugs change, slightly, and that's all I hear in game, Guess what? The disconnects people complain about? Those are mostly CTDs.
I still crash every 3-4 rounds, I still get the 4 fps, black screen, yellow screen, no HUD sometimes after power cycle, missiles hitting me through objects...
Excuse me, I was getting those bugs as of 2 days ago. Garth just perma-banned me for not showing him the proper deference (i.e. pointing out that his answer to a question wasn't relevant, politely and including an apology for my earlier behavior), so I now have a moral issue patronizing this company.

They changed 3 numbers in a spreadsheet; I'm not saying that it didn't need to be done, but it could have been done in any free 30 second gap they had in their schedule in the last 6 months. If they are actually that busy, and this garbage is the result, they aren't doing anyone any good, themselves included.

Except that if you ever want to get the most out of more than one chassis, you have to pay money, which I would have been more than happy to do, but my list of reasons for not doing so just kept getting longer, not shorter:
1) The game is unbalanced. This was my first objection, still BY FAR the biggest problem with the game, and has been steadily getting worse for 2 months, now. It all started when they doubled armor; they should have made the weapons weaker and/or harder to use.
2) The single game mode is not fun. Conquest is not another game mode, it is an option for the single game mode. I can't fault the choice of simple PvP for a demo, but CW is only half a step up and a real game needs a story line. A cooperative quest arc spanning the Clan invasion would have been easy, straightforward (you don't even have to write the frigging scenarios, just read the books!), and fun. The expansions are already there, it wouldn't have been any harder than implementing Conquest mode, would it?
3) The community is terrible, and that is entirely PGI's fault. By denying the existence of bugs that other players were exploiting, it lead to a monstrous schism in the playerbase that wound up fighting it out in the forums. Of course, with the mods on the side of the exploiters, the rest of us lost.
4) PGI's attitude. Garth quoted SARNA.net to support their implementation of ECM... leaving out the paragraph explicitly stating that it didn't affect missiles or TAG, like it does in MWO.
Look, I'm sorry, I've already wasted too much of my life on this game. If you like it, good for you, just know that it won't be around long if this keeps up.
I've been a Founder since CB, and personally, I just got tired of the bug fixes which created more problems than they fixed, introducing new bugs at a higher rate than bugs were squashed, and lack of dev communication to player issues. The balancing steps being taken are also piss-poor, and show very little thought behind the "get the problem fixed" mode. I'd get into details, but I already did that a couple of months ago (maths, spreadsheets, etc.) and it didn't go anywhere.
Features on their own feature roadmap get pushed out, pushed out, then drop off and are never heard from again. Not to mention that the main draw (community warfare) hyped isn't being discussed one little bit. And the game sort of needs CW to make it an actual "MMO" - right now, it's just a deathmatch game with robots (yes, all modes, since very few win Conquest by resource collection).
There are essentially two things you can advance in this game: XP and Cbills. XP gets old and tired after mastering a few chassis, and cap out the lacklustre "pilot" modules. After that, it's just money. And that's not really enough to keep me dropping onto the maps.
Other than being in "beta", and having no real longevity, it's a good game. I'm just not willing to click on my "start premium time" button until there is actually more of a game present - something that makes me want to keep playing.
Just an FYI, logged in to check out the new patch, played a round on the splatcat (and OOOOH! the hate!):
On enemy base fighting an ECM Spider, so I can't call for backup; I catch him with 2 alphas (90 damage each) to the face while he is caught up running into buildings, had just dropped from jumpjetting, etc.
Then his friends come over the ridge (Frozen City Night), a Hunchback and a Trebuchet, each of which get off one shot before I kill them (hint: Artemis sucks; you get better concentration without it).
Now, back on the Spider, another minute and 4 more alphas and he finally dies. Cap the base, win the round...
I get credit for 475 damage.
Now, even assuming that every missile I launched at the Hunchback and Trebuchet hit (unlikely), that's only 180 damage, leaving 295 damage unaccounted for.
Spiders can have a maximum of 210 armor, but usually only go with ~150, especially when they are loading an ERPPC, and have another half of that for internals, taking us up to ~225... spread across the entire mech....?
I think the devs are cheating. I don't know how, and I cn't imagine WHY, but there it is.

in regard to the original question, I agree became a Founder and every time I log in everythings seems to be getting better.
Love the fact that I've still not started my premium time and mechs seem to becoming more and more fluid.
Sure there's alot still to be done , just remeber it's in BETA !!!!

If the enemy Mech has ammo based weapons and this ammo explodes its counted toward your damage result and it can give a boost of a few hundred points in a match.

"Before I speak, I have something important to say."
Mechwarrior is a very popular brand. You have to expect a lot of opinionated people.
When I first heard they were making an mmorpg out of the franchise, I was excited too. They just took it in a completely different direction than I hoped so I never bothered playing.

Shane Roller retires after UFC on FX 5 loss - MMA Fighting
Shane Roller has announced his intention to retire from mixed martial arts following his UFC on FX 5 loss to Jacob Volkmann last Friday night.
"Looks like I'm hanging up the gloves for good," he tweeted on Monday. "It was fun, but time to move on. Sucks that it ended like that. Now starting the next chapter!!"
Roller lost via submission at 2:38 of the first round, his fourth defeat in his last five bouts
The UFC lightweight was a three-time collegiate All-American wrestler at Oklahoma State University who transitioned into MMA as part of Team Takedown, a group of decorated former amateur wrestlers that included Johny Hendricks and Jake Rosholt.
The 33-year-old Roller had an inconsistent career that spanned just over five years. He was signed to the Zuffa-owned WEC within just over one year of his MMA debut and won his first two fights there until losing to Ben Henderson. He also owns victories over respected veterans like Jamie Varner, Danny Castillo and Thiago Tavares.
On the flip side, Roller suffered losses to Anthony Pettis, Melvin Guillard, T.J. Grant and Michael Johnson.
With his UFC on FX 5 defeat, he ends his career with a record of 11-7.

Update (2013): the site is no longer available.
Google Image Labeler is a place where you can help Google improve Google Image Search by tagging images.
It's similar to what you do in Google Video. But Google transformed this boring activity into a nice interactive game. Everytime you login, Google finds you a partner and shows you the same images for 90 seconds. The first label found by both of you is considered a good answer and brings you 100 points (while two people can both fail in finding a good label, the probability is much smaller than for one person). After the time expires, you can see where the images came from and what were your partner's labels. And then you can start again, as the game is addictive.
The same images will be shown to other people, so, in the end, the images will keep only the best labels. This way, when you search for "car", you'll only find pictures of cars. I wonder if Google intends to use the labels directly or it's just a test for their recently acquired object recognition system.
A similar game is The ESP Game and this was the inspiration for Google Image Labeler. Here are the rules of the ESP Game:
* two-player online game
* partners don't know each other
* partners can't communicate
* the goal: type the same word
* only thing in common: an image

It's finally here – Spring Break 2013. These are the five days that college students across the nation countdown to all semester long. Right now, all kinds of vacation spots are being infiltrated with anxious students looking to relieve a little stress.
Spring Break is the time to drop all your school related worries and take a breather. Close those calendars with important stuff scribbled everywhere and relax.
You may be traveling out of the country or just staying here in College Station, but make sure to make some time for fun. You may not see any until the end of the semester. Ouch…
Here are a few of my Spring Break 2013 tips!
1. Do NOT be that girl/boy. Everyone knows what some people do during their Spring Break activities, but please don't be that one person who everyone gets fed up with. It's called Spring BREAK not Spring REGRET.
2. MAKE GOOD CHOICES. Before you do something crazy or post something inappropriate on Facebook, just think "what would my mom say?" I know my mother's face is permanently stuck in my head when I'm making decisions. If you have the slightest thought that it may be a bad idea…it's probably a bad idea. Don't take that drink some random guy at the bar gave you, don't accept gifts for other favors, and don't think you handle an amount of a beverage just because your friends say you can. It's simple stuff…just remember.
3. Budget. We all have to come back next Monday to live our normal lives. This means you're going to have to pay for gas, food, and school. Don't think that extra $20 you spend every night won't affect you next week. Having a fun Spring Break on a budget is much better than sitting at home without a car and hungry. Or this will be you…
And if you're staying in to study and catch up on homework…then none of the above applies! Your only rule is: Sleep in.
If you're planning on staying in College Station, check out the Brazos Valley Bucket List.
To comment, the following rules must be followed:
Comments may be monitored for inappropriate content, but the station is under no legal obligation to do so.
If you believe a comment violates the above rules, please use the Flagging Tool to alert a Moderator.
Flagging does not guarantee removal.
Multiple violations may result in account suspension.
Decisions to suspend or unsuspend accounts are made by Station Moderators.

Like he has done before, Apple's Senior Vice President of Marketing Phil Schiller has taken to his Twitter account to share a new report highlighting a much higher amount of security threats on Android compared to iOS. Schiller linked to Cisco's 2014 annual security report covering mobile malware trends over the last year, which happens to highlight a rise in malware on Android as one of its key takeaways:
Ninety-nine percent of all mobile malware in 2013 targeted Android devices. Not all mobile malware is designed to target specific devices, however… Many encounters involve phishing, likejacking, or other social engineering ruses, or forcible redirects to websites other than expected. An analysis of user agents by Cisco TRAC/SIO reveals that Android users, at 71 percent, have the highest encounter rates with all forms of web-delivered malware
That 71% encounter rate for web-delivered malware on Android mentioned above compares to just 14 percent for iPhone users, according to the report. The report's finding that 99 percent of all mobile malware last year targeted Android marks an increase for Android when comparing to the last report Schiller shared. In March of last year, Schiller shared a report from security firm F-Secure that estimated Android had around 79% of all mobile malware for 2012 compared to just 0.7 percent for iOS.
Interestingly, Schiller's tweet comes shortly after Forrester Research (via WSJ) published a survey ranking Samsung, Microsoft, and Sony higher than Apple in customer satisfaction.
The survey attempts to quantify the somewhat squishy and hard-to-define criteria of customer experience. Forrester assigns each company a customer-experience index score based on a survey of how 7,500 U.S. consumers responded to these three questions:
How enjoyable were they to do business with?
How easy were they to do business with?
How effective were they at meeting your needs?
Could Schiller's timing be any more strategic? Let us know what you think below.

Sigh, Schiller seems to always use attempts at giving Android/Google stuff a bad name.
Lets get back to promoting Apple stuff Phil, instead of concentrating what the competition is doing wrong. They'll dig their own holes, don't need you to dig it for them.
Sigh indeed. Phil Schiller didn't write the report, or even research it, but just because he mentions it, HE'S giving google a bad name. I think the level of malware attacks on android devices would prove that google is the one giving themselves a bad name. Don't shoot the messenger just because you don't like the message. Now you can sigh.
My point being that Phil dosen't have to report anything at all. The real story is not about how much malware attacks Android, but that iOS does and how to eliminate that. If for sake of your viewpoint, then why dosen't he also report how well google is doing with their maps? Because it puts google in a good position over Apple.
if your marketing spends more time putting down the competition than praising its own product, there is a problem
You must have forgotten the most successful marketing campaign Apple ever put to air. I'm a Mac. I'm a PC. Seems like some people don't like the know the truth about Android. Beginning with google.
Millionaire and apple premier he may be but he's very childish and defensive, this Phil person…trashing talking android before the galaxy s4 launch, calling instagram ghetto post android release, unfollowing one of the pioneers that was his comrade in arms who helped with the Apple renaissance, after he moved on to where he thought he would be better appreciated, and now this. Keeps the sites in the top google news results though ;-)
Yeah, my views on him (or his actions) too.

Big color works in a small space: Benjamin Moore's Newburg Green on the guest room walls of this Los Angeles bungalow plays off fabrics in hot tropical colors. "Dark colors don't necessarily make a room smaller," designer Moises Esquenazi says. "And besides, I don't mind a bedroom that feels small, especially since its primary use is for sleeping. Why should it not be dark, moody or sensual? It really is a kind of sanctuary."
"The master bedroom has a very retro feel to it," says designer Mona Ross Berman, "with the pink, tangerine, and lavender color palette, the paisley linen, and the zigzag Missoni-esque pattern on the floor." The floor is painted Salmon Berry and White Dove, both by Benjamin Moore. The headboard is upholstered in Henry in Rose by Raoul Textiles. Pouf from John Derian.

Cynthia Bailey's Daughter, Noelle, Is Applying to a Private School — And You Won't Believe How Much it Costs!
Cynthia Bailey's daughter, Noelle, hasn't had the easiest time finding a school that fits her social and academic needs in Atlanta, and only a year or so after heading back to school after being homeschooled for a year, Noelle is prepping for another possible change.
A few months ago, the 12-year-old Instagrammed a photo of her application to Woodward Academy, a fancy private school in Atlanta. "Filling this Woodward application out!" she wrote. And while we bet the posh, $23k-a-year school may be difficult to get into, Noelle was just named "Student of the Month" at her current school, so she could have a good shot at being admitted to Woodward.
But do you think $23,000 a year is too much to spend on school? Tell us your opinion below!

My Millennium baby.
What a ruddy stupid time to be pregnant. Whilst everyone else in the entire Universe was out partying to the event of a lifetime which only comes around every 26 generations or so, I was 8 months pregnant, watching the fireworks from my bedroom window, in my over-sized pyjamas (since I was indeed, oversized).
I wouldn't trade it for the world. Look what I got.
I have tracked his 12 faster-than-light-years birthdays carefully, and here he sits, in chronological order, central to my family stories, his journey from babe to man only half complete.
So, since he himself will only cringe with 'Mom, you're not putting that on the internet are you?' embarrassment, I thought I'd share it all with you, my cyber-friends.
Georgie, you may not always be an angel, but you were indeed a gift from Heaven and you changed my life forever.
Anyone else got a Millennium baby out there? Care to share your child's journey?

Herd anticipates intensity vs. WVU
HUNTINGTON -- Dennis Tinnon mentioned mental and physical toughness as two of the keys to success in the Capital Classic.
Emotions and energy will be in overdrive and the Charleston Civic Center will be packed with more than 12,000 spectators Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. for the 41st men's basketball meeting between Marshall University (5-3) and West Virginia University (2-3).
Tinnon was on the court last season for Marshall when West Virginia won, 78-62.
"I've never played in an atmosphere like that," the senior forward said. "You get cussed at. You get booed at. You've got to have tunnel vision, block all that out, and have tunnel vision on your teammates, your coaches and that court."
West Virginia has ruled through the years, leading the all-time series, 29-11, since they met for the first time in the 1928-29 season. The games rotated between Morgantown, Huntington and Charleston for many years before landing permanently in the state capital in 1991-92. The Mountaineers have won 18 of 23 games played in Charleston.
Although the tickets are basically split 50-50 between the schools, Capital Classic crowds have been pro-WVU in Charleston.
Last season's attendance was 12,684.
"The Herd fans are so supportive," Tinnon said. "Even though we don't have as many fans, our 6,000 seems more like 20,000."
The physical nature of the game usually means a lot of fouls called and many free throw attempts.
Last season's game had 32 fouls (20 on Marshall) and West Virginia made 17 of 22 free throws while Marshall was 3-for-6.
"That's when it comes to mental toughness," said Tinnon, who was limited to 29 minutes by fouls, but had six points and 10 rebounds. "When you're by the rim you have to power up and either make it or they're going to foul you."
The Capital Classic is being played for the second time this calendar year.
After two decades of having the women's and men's games as a doubleheader usually in January or February, the format was changed for last season to split the games on separate nights, Jan. 18-19, 2012.

Hi Drs.
I development severe PE with HELLP syndrome at 23+ weeks in my last pregnancy (December 2006). I am still being treated with Natrilix for high blood pressure. My last two urinalysis showed haematuria and proteinuria and I was tested for Lupus but was negative. I Dr has asked that I stay on Natrilix for 3 months and retest. My last 3 BP readings were 116/80, 120/84 and 110/70 (within the last 4 weeks).
My partner and I really wants another child and I am off oral contraceptives. I am now worried that I got pregnant over the weekend and I would like to know the implications for myself and the child if this is so.
I know there is a strong possibilty the PE will return in future pregnancies. How can I have a happy and successful pregnancy this time around?
Awaiting your response

Arizona Cardinals
Arizona Cardinals to stick with Ryan Lindley at quarterback
Arizona Cardinals rookie quarterback Ryan Lindley completed 31-of-52 passes for 312 yards and four interceptions in his first NFL start Sunday, which came in a 31-17 loss to the St. Louis Rams.
Two of the interceptions were returned for touchdowns, and while there were some positive moments, Lindley very much showed he is a work-in-progress as far as being ready to lead an NFL team.
However, Cardinals coach Ken Whisenhunt said Monday if Kevin Kolb is unable to return from his injury Sunday, the former San Diego State signal caller will once again get the nod.
"We stay with Ryan," the coach said. "Let's start the thing off by saying you can't have those interceptions, but in the first half I thought that he did a really nice job.
"He moved in the pocket, was decisive, managed it, made some good throws."
Whisenhunt pointed to the team's three scoring drives in the first 30 minutes of football, which saw the Cardinals take a 17-14 lead into the intermission.
"I felt that we did a lot of good things," he said.
Things went south in the second half, though, as the Rams dialed up the pressure and made Lindley try to beat them with his arm.
That he couldn't Sunday is understandable, and the coach said no one was more upset about the mistakes than the quarterback himself.
"One of the things that you have to learn about a quarterback is that when you get into those heat of the moment type things how you've got to respond," Whisenhunt said.
The mistakes, the coach added, are just part of the growing pains, and it is important to see what Lindley does in a real game compared to just working in practice.
"You understand with a young player," he said. "Look, we've got a lot of young players that are playing. They make mistakes.
"Sometimes they're not magnified like they are with the quarterback because he's got the ball, and that's what he's got to understand."

I was almost at the point of despair - that most people will be damned if we don't have the right amount or kind of faith and good deeds or slip up one day and die in our sins. And even if we did "make it" to heaven ... what about all the tortured souls who will never have a second chance? Horrible to think that we would think of God as less merciful than a typical man. In our prisons we give sentence to fit the crime, and we are evil men!Matthew 7:11 (New King James Version)11 If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask Him! Thanks for the welcome everyone.P.S. I am realizing that most churches ( Catholic or Protestant) believe in hell so I would feel like a hypocrite to still attend a church while not believing this. At the same time, I feel isolated in my faith. Do any of you attend a regular church for fellowship?
