lilD: Halloween RevengeWritten by lilD | | email@example.com
"My birthday is Oct. 28; why not have my party at a club and make money?"
Smart man, that James Downey.
Since 2007, Downey Productions has brought top-quality entertainment to Toledo. Imagine that: a Hip-Hop event at a club with real security, no fighting and seasoned performers. Ever since Eminem's protégé and D12 member Bizarre asked Downey to throw a party for him, he has been profiting off of his skill for packing venues.
Downey knows the cardinal rule of event-throwing: establish relationships. In the entertainment business, but Hip-Hop especially, relationships are everything, and a person's reputation always precedes him or her. Downey's relationship with Mickey Finn's Pub has earned him the freedom to throw events on a regular basis, and venture to other clubs.
"I was able to do for a local show what other promoters couldn't, and that's have people in the venue who aren't performing; fans. I created balance between artists and spectators," he said.
The local Hip-Hop scene in Toledo doesn't exactly have the best reputation. With all the violence occurring in and around Toledo, a lot of it gets blamed (sometimes unfairly) on the Hip-Hop scene, much in the way national media blames Hip-Hop for violence. The stigma may be unfair, but the continuous fights, shootings and arrests do nothing but perpetuate that stereotype. This is why it's so important to carefully plan out a Hip-Hop event. But not everyone heeds that warning.
Downey doesn't discriminate against anyone but nonsense will not be tolerated at any of his events. He makes it a point to steer clear of artists who have a reputation for violence and/or trouble. Believe it or not, there is a plethora of artists in Toledo who simply want to make music and spread their movement without doing something ignorant to earn "street cred" that doesn't matter anyway. Going to an event that is thrown by Downey Productions is having peace of mind, knowing you will leave in the same condition in which you arrived.
Besides an unsafe environment, the other biggest complaint about local artist showcases is that fans aren't allowed to just dance and have a good time. Some of these showcases are performance after performance, with no DJ or music in between sets. In case you're wondering, it's boring! No one wants to see 13 artists and their eight-person entourage on stage, doing a 10-minute set of music they have never heard. That is not how you get fans.
Downey took care of that problem as well. He may have five performers tops, and he also has a DJ playing real music. He realizes that the most important aspect of any event is the happiness of the people who paid their money to come. Also, because of his spotless reputation, Downey is able to throw events at nicer venues, so the club-goers' expectations are not unrealistic.
So you know his birthday party is going to be spectacular, right? The Halloween Revenge Party is Oct. 29 at Mainstreet Bar & Grill. There will be music, performances, cash prizes and me. And I don't host just any event.
Bring your costume; the best one gets money!
Even if you don't dress up, come enjoy performances by Toledo heavyweights like Chiefalone, Flintstone, 2wo Tone and others.
Now that you know what to expect from a real promoter, don't expect to be disappointed.
The tickets are $6 and $10 at the door, which opens at 9 p.m. For more information on the show, contact Downey at (419) 360-0407.

Product Description
The whole kite has been reassessed for the development of the new BANDIT, especially in terms of fabric usage and layout as the trailing edge has been completely redesigned. The kite also comes with a brand new 4-point bridle and a new canopy profile.
In your hands....The first impression you will get when flying the kite or on the beach will be real gain in stability. The new BANDIT is more stable and cleaner in the air. The bar feeling is neater and more direct. Especially the feedback when powering or depowering the kite is more accurate. The new profile also provides more forward traction and offers a more comfortable ride with less lateral pull.
The new 2015 BANDIT keeps its constant traction in the lower range without stalling, hence making it easier to ride underpowered. The kite flies through the lulls as if there were nothing but constant wind.
In the high range, the 2015 BANDIT can be depowered with no parasitic movement and remains clean. Combined with its more forward pull in on the edge of the window, the kite provides comfort and full confidence while riding.
The end result is larger flying range with neat gain in the higher and lower parts of the wind range.
The more irregular the wind, the more this kite will stand out !
Jumping hang time is better and upwind ability is fantastic !
Sizes and wind range:
- 5m : 30 + knts
- 6m : 28 + knts
- 7m : 25 + knts
- 8m : 20 > 35 knts
- 9m : 15 > 30 knts
- 10m : 12 > 26 knt
- 11m : 11>24 knts
- 12m : 10 > 22 knts
- 14m : 8 > 18 knts
- 17m : 8 > 16 knts
- Control Bar
- Pump
DELTA C-SHAPE technology design offers unmatched stability and steering response when fully de-powered, with the possibility of connecting the front lines higher on the leading edge of the kite.
DELTA C-SHAPE is a patented design used by F-ONE on all kites for the past 8 years.
This shape was the result of a design research towards maximum optimization of the aerodynamic performances of the kite and of its depower. It gives the possibility to fit more canopy area in the middle sections to create more projected area while the C Shape makes sure the kite remains responsive and fluid.

Agreed. While some people fret about modern society approaching the dystopia of 1984 , I think it's scary that technology has moved to the point where government could easily do even more to hold citizens down. Orwell didn't foresee electronic tracking devices that could follow you wherever you go. In the book, the protagonist got a break from the telescreen for a few hours by walking down to a remote place. Now, even this means of privacy isn't guaranteed.
42,642 people died in 2006 in the USA from vehicle crashes. If requiring a GPS in every vehicle would help reduce this number, and also protect citizens from the occasional police harassment, why not? And for those not fond of the government knowing so much about them, do like I do - ride a bicycle to work! Of course, maybe GPSing bicycles is the future too...

Traditional walk during freshman orientation symbolically links Moravian's two campuses
Bethlehem, Pa., Tuesday, August 16, 2005—Over 300 Moravian College freshmen will walk the "Moravian Mile" during the annual freshman class walk on Saturday, August 27 at 11:00 a.m. The walk starts at the 1742 oval located at the corner of Locust and Monocacy Streets and follows the Moravian Mile down Main Street to Moravian's Priscilla Payne Hurd Campus at Church Street.
The walk is a recent tradition that began in 1996 as part of Freshman Orientation. The walk symbolically links Moravian's Main Street Campus with the Priscilla Payne Hurd Campus. President Ervin J. Rokke's and a group of Moravian College vice presidents will lead the walk. At the conclusion of the walk, the group will gather in Foy Concert Hall at 11:45 a.m. for a session on transitioning into college life.
After lunch, freshmen may tour the classroom buildings before heading off to the Campus Service Project—a new tradition at Moravian designed to foster community service. At 3:30 p.m., the freshman class will begin making the 6,000 wax candles that will be used for the Christmas Vespers Services in December.
Freshman Orientation Weekend begins on the morning of Friday, August 26, when students start moving into the residence halls. Afterwards, freshmen have the remainder of the morning to get their IDs, visit the bookstore, set-up their phones and computers, and check their mailboxes.
An opening Convocation and Vespers Service will be held for all new students and their families in Central Moravian Church on Friday at 2:15 p.m. President Rokke will address the gathering which serves as a ceremonial beginning for students and a formal "farewell" for parents.
Beverly J. Kochard, vice president for student affairs, will welcome the freshmen at 4:00 p.m. in Prosser Auditorium, followed by a number of social activities throughout the evening designed to encourage the new students to interact with each other and make new friends.
Sunday, August 28 begins with worship services, followed by the students' first "Introduction to Student Life" class. The class session is dedicated to discussing The Sparrow, the book by renowned author Mary Doria Russell which was required reading for all freshmen.
At 1:30 p.m., students will reconvene in Foy Hall for a talk and discussion by author Mary Doria Russell, which is sponsored in part by Moravian's Arts and Lectures committee. (The event is not open to the public)
The freshman class will be officially installed during the Freshman Banquet in Johnston Hall at 5:30 p.m. The keynote address will be presented by Dr. Theresa Dougal, associate professor of English. On Monday, August 29 classes begin and the fall 2005 semester will be underway.
The incoming Class of 2009 will be among the largest in its 263-year history. From its second largest applicant pool, the College has enrolled 380 freshmen, equaling the size of the Class of 2008, the college's previous high mark for enrollment.
The Class of 2009 is also among the most academically prepared. The combined SAT score of the class is at a record high and more than 30 percent of the new students were ranked in the top 10 percent of their high school class.
Moravian College is a private, coeducational, selective liberal arts college located in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. Tracing its founding to 1742, it is recognized as America's sixth-oldest college. Visit the Web site at www.Moravian.edu

Apricorn SATA cable and cloning software.6/18/2013
Great product, great price.
Super - worked as advertised and great support and1/3/2011
This amazing device and software arrived within two days of ordering. I plugged it in and installed the software and my 200 GB Windows 7 Ultimate drive was cloned to a brand new 250 GB drive in a couple of hours. I then switched the drives and booted up as though I was on a brand new computer. My old C: drive had a sector go bad and it was un-reparable, but my three year old Dell laptop was still under warrantee so Dell sent me a replacement. I have a ton of software development tools on this box and it would have taken at least a month for me to install and tweak everything if I had not had this terrific but inexpensive devise to help me out. I note that someone had made a post stating that there was an issue with hidden partitions so I contacted Apricorn's customer service before I bought the device. They were quick to report that their new software had resolved this issue and indeed they were correct; their software worked exactly as advertised. The process did report that there was an issue with the source bad sector, but that did not stop the process and subsequent disk scans have not shown any problems with the new drive. GO BYE.COM and GO Apricorn! You folks save my arse? & quickly too!!!1 Helpful | 0 Not Helpful

Picture of a scarab of Smendes by Flinders Petrie[1]
|c. 1077/1076–1052 BC[2] (21st Dynasty)
|Ramesses XI
|Tentamun B
|Amenemnisu ?
|Possibly Hrere
Hedjkheperre Setepenre Smendes was the founder of the Twenty-first dynasty of Egypt and succeeded to the throne after burying Ramesses XI in Lower Egypt – territory which he controlled. His Egyptian nomen or birth name was actually Nesbanebdjed[6] meaning "He of the Ram, Lord of Mendes"[7] but it was translated into Greek as Smendes by later classical writers such as Josephus and Sextus Africanus. While Smendes' precise origins remain a mystery, he is thought to have been a powerful governor in Lower Egypt during the Renaissance era of Ramesses XI and his base of power was Tanis.[citation needed]
Nesibanebdjedet (Smendes) may have been a son of a lady named Hrere. Hrere was a Chief of the Harem of Amun-Re and likely the wife of a high priest of Amun. If Hrere was the mother of Nesibanebdjedet, then he was a brother of Nodjmet and through her brother in law of the High Priests Herihor and Piankh.
Nesibanebdjedet (Smendes) was married to Tentamun B, likely a daughter of Ramesses IX. They may have been the parents of his successor Amenemnisu.[8]
Report of Wenamun[edit]
Smendes features prominently in the Report of Wenamun, dated to Year 5 of the Renaissance or Whm Mswt era (or Year 23 proper of Ramesses XI), as a person of the highest importance. Wenamun states here that he had to visit Tanis and personally present his letters of accreditation to Smendes in order to receive the latter's permission to travel north to modern Lebanon and procure precious cedar wood for use in the Great Temples of Amun at Thebes. Smendes responded by dispatching a ship for Wenamun's travels to Syria and the Levant.
Smendes' nominal authority over Upper Egypt is attested by a single inscribed stela found in a quarry at Ed-Dibabiya, opposite Gebelein on the right bank of the Nile as well as a separate graffito inscription on an enclosure Wall of the Temple of Monthu at Karnak dating from the reign of Thutmose III.[9] The quarry stela describes how Smendes "while residing in Memphis, heard of danger to the temple of Luxor from flooding, gave orders for repairs (hence the quarry works), and received news of the success of the mission."[10] Smendes is assigned a reign of 26 Years by Manetho in his Epitome and was the husband of Tentamun. This figure is supported by the Year 25 date on the Banishment Stela which recounts that the High Priest Menkheperre suppressed a local revolt in Thebes in Year 25 of a king who can only be Smendes because there is no evidence that the High Priests counted their own regnal years even when they assumed royal titles like Pinedjem I did.[11] Menkheperre then exiled the leaders of the rebellion to the Western Desert Oases. These individuals were pardoned several years later during the reign of Smendes' successor, Amenemnisu.
Smendes ruled over a divided Egypt and only effectively controlled Lower Egypt during his reign while Middle and Upper Egypt was effectively under the suzerainty of the High Priests of Amun such as Pinedjem I, Masaharta, and Menkheperre. His prenomen or throne name Hedjkheperre Setepenre/Setepenamun—which means 'Bright is the Manifestation of Rê, Chosen of Rê/Amun'[5]—became very popular in the following 22nd Dynasty and 23rd Dynasty. In all, five kings: Shoshenq I, Shoshenq IV, Takelot I, Takelot II and Harsiese A adopted it for their own use. On the death of Smendes in 1051 BC, he was succeeded by Neferkare Amenemnisu, who may have been this king's son.

One fragrance in particular reminds me of home—the smell of oranges. I have a place in Portofino where there are many orange trees. I was told by perfumers that neroli, the oil from oranges, evokes memories of childhood.
There are many mundane smells that inspire me, like the smell of freshly cut grass. The leather upholstery in a car on a hot summer's day is also very evocative for me.
The smell of disinfectant never fails to take me back to my early years of medical study.
There is something about a fresh roll of fabric, uncut, that is wonderful—it is so full of potential.
For years now I have had a holiday home on the Mediterranean island of Pantelleria. It is a volcanic island, harsh and windswept—not to everybody's taste. The smell I most associate with it is the hint of salt on the fresh air. And the strong smell of capers at the table.
One of the most intoxicating smells is the scent of backstage—it's a cocktail of makeup, powder and hair spray. Very exciting.
If there is a smell I associate with the realization that I was becoming successful, it was newspaper. I'd open the paper and see the good reviews and realize that people were noticing my designs.
My mother always wore a strong rose scent. It was a persistent, very feminine smell. It has inspired me creatively to produce a new fragrance, Idole d'Armani (launching in September). The smell is lively but never overpowering.
I love the scent of fresh basil and tomatoes. It's the basis of my favorite meal—spaghetti pomodoro, made with fresh ingredients. I dislike fussy cuisine. I prefer to know exactly what I am eating, and for it to be made in as simple a way as possible.
Although I love Italian wine, there is nothing like the scent of a full-bodied red Cabernet Merlot from Bordeaux.

Best Linux on Mac? Best Way to Install?
I am interested in Linux and likely will use Mac OS X far more but want to have the capability of using it so that I can learn the OS as well as run any software for Linux that I'm interested in.
I thought of switching a older Windows machine over to Linux but my interest is now to put it on a MacBook Pro. Hard Drive space is precious since I'm already planning to use Parallels to run Windows XP on it. My questions:
Can I run Linux on a Mac with it on a external drive so that I can simply buy a firewire drive and make that the Linux Drive?
Can I run Linux with Boot Camp or is it better to use Parallels?
What flavor of Linux is best? I have heard a lot about SUSE but also some about Red Hat.
Is it possible to boot straight into Linux on a Mac?
Are there specific versions of Linux catered to the Mac?
Thanks in advance for any help.
You need only around 5GB of space for installing Linux(it can even be less). I have installed Ubuntu Linux 6.06 using Parallels and it works fine for me.
You can also install Linux using Boot Camp. However this requires you to partition your HD and allocate dedicated space for the Linux file system. If its installed through Paralles, you can always remove the image drive without repartitioning/resizing the HD. Also you can run Linux without reboot.
At present Parallels doesn't support all versions/distributions of Linux. Go to their website and see the Distros. they support. However I am sure Ubuntu 6.06 is one of the supported distro and it works fine for me.
Ubuntu 6.06 (Dapper Drake) would be an excellent choice. It is a very well thought out distribution, quite fast, and VERY complete. Because it is based on Debian, there are over 18,000 open source software packages available for it. You can get pretty much ANYTHING for Dapper Drake, and what you can't get precompiled you can compile yourself. I have used SuSE, Fedora, Mandrake, Arch, CCux, Ubuntu and a few others. I can honestly say that you will like Ubuntu. It is stable, fast and well supported. Now mind you, that default orange color schema is a killer, but you can change the theme to something like Industrial Tango and get a nice soothing blue theme. The default Gnome desktop has a Preferences menu that allows you to change the theme in use very simply.
Try it out, you will like it... but, after you use Ubuntu, which is pretty much (IMHO) the best the open source world has to offer, you will realize just how far ahead Mac OS X is compared to the rest!
By the way, you may not be aware that you can run almost all of the open source software directly under OS X! OS X is built on a foundation of Open BSD I think. Anyway, there is an excellent package called DarwinPorts that is a very complete open source "distro" that runs nicely on your Mac. To use it, you install Apple's X11 (available on your Tiger install disks) and then download and install DarwinPorts. This is a Terminal based package. You then use it to build any of the open source apps you like, very simply.
Say for example you want to play with the gnumeric spreadsheet. After DarwinPorts is installed, you issue the following magic at a Terminal session command prompt:
sudo port install gnumeric
This downloads the source code for gnumeric, compiles it, builds it and installs it. After that, as long as Apple X11 is running, you can fire it up just like any other app. You can do this for as many open source apps as you like. I have about 20 of my favorites from the linux world loaded on my Mac.
Virtual Box is always my first recommendation. It's free and gets more robust all the time. If it works (and usually does for most things) then you are good to go. If not, then there are the paid solutions like Parallels and VMWare.
As far as Linux distros go... all depends upon what you foresee using it for. Ubuntu is an excellent stable choice for general home use. There are tons of variants and much that is tailored specifically for being easy to use and compatible with Ununtu. I recommend openSUSE for anything serious related to business or infrastructure. openSUSE has a nice one click install option for folks who don't want to get too dirty with the OS's underpinnings: software.opensuse.org: Search Results For traditionalists there is Debian as a great choice. If you are a Unix geek like me, I always like to recommend FreeBSD for a good exercise in problem solving.
I currently have a 2011 MBA running Lion with VirtualBox and Windows7 32-Bit + openSUSE 64-Bit + FreeBSD installed as VM's.
Like XJ, I'd also recommend VirtualBox primarily because it's free and works for 98% of users. I'd also recommend openSUSE since it's well polished and solid but Ubuntu would also meet your needs.
Check to see if packages of that application are available - that'll save you some time and headaches.
I run a Diablosport Predator tuner for my 2008 Dodge Charger Daytona off of Windows7 in VirtualBox. It connects via USB, or rather it uses a serial to USB adapter cable to hook into the Mac USB port which is snagged by the Win7 VM. I have no idea about Linux and USB support for your application in VirtualBox. I can vouch for a Windows7 VM hooking in to an automotive OBDII bridge device via USB to serial cable and the proper Prolific PL-2303 v1.4 and v1.5 drivers.

You may know about the research that says that music such as Mozart can help kids with ADHD or other learning disabilities retain more of what they learn.
But did you know that music lessons – learning to read music and play an instrument – can also be beneficial for people with Attention Deficit Disorder?
There have been several studies done on the relationship between the brain and learning to read and play music. They show that the combination of skills required to both read and play music helps both sides of the brain learn to work together more effectively, resulting in improved learning.
A few different studies have also indicated that the brains of people who took music lessons for any length of time are larger than those of people who did not take music. One indicated that about 75% of the CEOs in Silicon Valley had taken music lessons as a child.
Music lessons have also shown to increase math and science skills.
Although most of the studies I looked at involved either younger children (12 & under) or interviews with adults about childhood experiences, I believe that music instruction can benefit anyone of any age.
If your child's school offers music lessons, I would certainly encourage you to check into them. I would also suggest that you check with local music stores in terms of private lessons, which I think would be more beneficial to someone with ADHD. I'm sure you will be pleasantly surprised at the cost.
Years ago my daughter Caitlin took guitar lessons when we lived in the Detroit metropolitan area. My husband Mark takes lessons where we live now – a much more rural environment. In both cases, lessons were about $15-20 per week.
The other advantage of private lessons is that you have a wider choice of instruments. Talking your kid into learning guitar might be a lot easier than learning to play the tuba in marching band.

Modeling a Character in 3ds Max with Ryan Kittleson covers the process of designing and building a 3D human character that can be used for feature film, broadcast, and games. The course begins with an overview of the 3ds Max tools and techniques used in character modeling, and how human anatomy is represented using 3D geometry. Once this foundation is in place, the rest of the course goes step by step through the actual process used to model a simple human character from the ground up, including facial features, musculature, and details such as hair and clothing.
Hi! I'm Ryan Kittleson, and I'd like to welcome you to Modeling a Character in 3ds Max. In this course, I'll show you how to take advantage of 3ds Max's powerful tools to model a character, get it ready for rigging and texturing, and above all, how to make one that really looks great. First, I'm going to demonstrate some of the most commonly used tools in character modeling like Swift Loop and Extrude and how they can be used to build a character. Then I'll show you how to break down your character into bite-sized pieces for easy modeling, like building the head separately from the teeth.
I'll teach you how to refine your models to professional standards. I'm going to model the character one part at a time and show you how these skills and tools apply in practice to create a finished body, hair, and clothes of our character. In my years of modeling characters and experience in teaching character modeling, I've come up with this method that is straightforward and easy to follow. So let's get to it with Modeling a Character in 3ds Max.

Well, it's the Friday of Memorial Day weekend, a three-dayspan rife with beer, outdoor cooking, and the type of conversation that oftenoccurs when large amounts of meat are burning on a grill: sports talk.
Usually, sports talk involves a male-dominated roundtablethat covers last night's playoff game or the minutia of baseball stats. Thosesubjects are all fine and dandy, but the past several weeks have providedplenty of outside-the-lines subjects to cover, subjects whose importanceperhaps might bypass a typical sports fan. So, this weekend, we suggest youtell those dudes to go get you another PBR and shut their pieholes, becauseit's your turn to talk about sports topics that are important to you.
What might those topics be? After the jump, a few suggestions:
The first to prove a girl could be a stud athlete, Babe Didrikson began as a muscular phenom who mastered many sports and ended as a brilliant golfer. An exuberant tomboy whose life was athletics, she was accomplished in just about every sport - basketball, track, golf, baseball, tennis, swimming, diving, boxing, volleyball, handball, bowling, billiards, skating and cycling. When asked if there was anything she didn't play, she said, "Yeah, dolls."
Women are making their entrance into cricket as players, team owners, and purveyors of sexism and White privilege?

New Study Calls Egg Yolks Just as Unhealthy as Cigarettes! Will You Give Them Up?
Most of us mommies barely have energy to make ourselves breakfast after we've gotten the kiddos out the door, which is where our trusty friend the incredible edible egg comes in. Eggs are a quick and easy way to get protein and energy, and they lend themselves to so many tasty dishes! Well, get ready for your frittata-themed dreams to be crushed, ladies.
A recent study in the journal Atherosclerosis (via the Los Angeles Times) shows that eggs thicken arteries in adults over the age of 40 almost as much as smoking does. Luckily, it's just pesky cholesterol-ridden egg yolks that are the culprit. In fact, according to the study, the more yolks you eat per year (including in baked goods!), the more likely you are to have a "mini-stroke." Sounds ominous!
You can head here for comprehensive details about the study, but the consensus? It's "imperative to reassess the role of egg yolks, and dietary cholesterol in general, as a risk factor for coronary heart disease," as the authors of the study noted.
The National Heart Blood and Lung institute recommends that Americans limit their egg intake to four yolks per week, and this latest news might inspire us to cut them out completely. What do you think, will you monitor your egg yolks?
Will you give up or limit your egg yolk consumption?

Craig Montgomery was a kindhearted young lad who always had bad luck when it came to women. However, he went about love the wrong way, which only hurt him. It started when he fell in love with Betsy Stewart. They both attended Oakdale University and met frequently. Unfortunately, Betsy had feelings for Steve Andropolous. Craig didn't stand a chance with Betsy as long as Steve was around. His first mistake in love happened when he tried to get Steve out of the picture by attempting to kill him. Craig set up Steve's truck to explode when Steve got near it, but the plan was ruined when Betsy happened to show up instead. Without thinking of endangering his own life, Craig quickly rushed to save Betsy. Craig stopped her from getting hurt, but he was injured and suffered impotence and sterility.
Craig was determined to get Steve out of their lives, but it never happened. He tried everything from setting Steve up to get caught with stolen coins to faking a fall and being paralyzed so that Betsy would stay with him and take care of him. After several showdowns with Steve, Betsy eventually left Craig for Steve. After a few words from his mother, Lyla, on his behavior, Craig finally realized the mistake that he made. When he fell in love, he lost his mind.
Craig later met and married Sierra Estaban Reyes while working for Lucinda Walsh. Lucinda hired him to sneak into another country and rescue her. Her father had been killed and Lucinda was afraid that she would be next. Craig's rescue didn't take too long when the first person he approached was Sierra, dressed as a boy. After dodging bullets, the two made it back to the United States. They fell in love after a while, but it all fell apart when Sierra learned that Lucinda was her biological mother. She also found out that Craig knew about the secret and didn't tell her. A revengeful Sierra married Tonio Reyes. They were very unhappy, and Sierra quickly realized that she had made a horrible mistake. She was secretly seeing Craig to confide in, and when Tonio found out about it, he threatened to hurt Craig if she didn't stop. When Sierra went over to tell Craig that she could no longer see him, the two were caught up in the moment and they made love. Sierra soon found that she was pregnant. She and Tonio had broken apart and eventually Craig and Sierra found each other again. Craig soon learned that Sierra's little boy was his and they married. Later on, they had a daughter, Lucy. They were married for a long time, but Craig couldn't stay tied down and moved on. He was going to go around the world. Bryant had come to Oakdale, and the relationship that Craig had with his son was very rocky. Craig found himself financially unstable and stole his son's trust fund. This caused tension between Craig and his son. Tragically, Bryant was killed in a terrible car crash.
Craig found himself falling in love with Carly Tenney Snyder, who designed a great clothing line. Unfortunately, she was in love with another man. Once Craig did win her over, she was kidnapped and sent overseas in a coffin. Craig vowed to find her and when he did, she was given injections that aged her. When Craig couldn't bare to look at Carly, he fell in love with her half-sister, Rosanna. Rosanna and Craig wanted a child but Rosanna could not carry a child, so they had to adopt. They found an unwed mother, Gwen Norbeck, who was going to put her child up for adoption. They won her trust and she agreed to turn her baby over to them. Craig had a one-night stand with Jennifer Munson. She got pregnant with Craig's child, but vowed that Craig would not have any rights to the baby. Gwen's baby, and Jennifer's baby, was born the same night. Craig switched the babies and told Jennifer that her baby had died, but actually, it was Gwen's baby that had died. Craig thought if he could switch the babies and let Jen think that her baby had died, they would adopt Gwen's baby, which would actually be his own son. In order to make his plan successful, he had to stop Rosanna from going to the hospital. On her way to see the baby, Craig ran her off the road, which caused her to go into a coma.
After all the heartache that Craig has endured over the years, he now leads a lonely life, and even his daughter, Lucy has turned against him. He realizes that if he wants anything in life, he will have to get it himself, no matter what the cost.

Craig arrives at the Snyder Farm. "What the hell do you want?" Lily asks. "I'm here to make the best proposition you've heard in years," he answers. He continues by asking her stay with WorldWide. She refuses and blames him for all her problems, because he encouraged her to take the diet pills. He tells her if she's having problem with the pills, he knows some excellent doctors that would help her. She denies having a problem, and then confronts him about taking the company away from Lucinda. Once she's done shouting at him, she shows him the door.
Later, an angry Meg enters WorldWide and blasts Craig for playing Lily and everyone else! Craig harks back that all of this was her fault. She demands an explanation just as Paul barges in. Before she leaves, she continues to demand that Craig explain what he meant. He responds, "I just asked myself why would I give up this beautiful penthouse, office and corporate jet just to twist myself into something I'm not." "I'm a business man, Meg, so why don't you and Nosetradamus go out and have a lovely life together. I have a business to run," he continues. Meg storms out of Craig's office and Paul follows. Once outside the office, Meg declares to Paul that Craig won't get away with what he has done this time!
Dusty arrives at WorldWide to give Craig his letter of resignation. After giving him his resignation, he reminds Craig that his latest stunt will only drive Lucy and Johnny further away.

Where is it from?
- A Issued By Melbourne, Australia
Electrotype Coin Replica - 1/4 Ounce, Kangaroo Office, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, 1853 Reg. No: NU 3044
- Summary:
- Electrotype, coin replica 1/4 Ounce, by an unknown mint. It is a replica of the obverse used for the gold coins created for the Kangaroo Office in 1853 by W. J. Taylor of London.
W. J. Taylor and his business partners established the Kangaroo Office to take advantage of the explosive economic growth in Australia following the discovery of gold in 1851. They hoped to buy gold at greatly reduced prices from the gold fields and then release it at full value in the form of quarter-ounce, half-ounce, one ounce and two ounce gold coins. However due to the time required to travel between London and Melbourne, once the Kangaroo Office was ready for business in 1854, an increase in the number of British sovereigns, had seen the price of gold rise, and the potential profits for the Kangaroo Office sharply decline. Not deterred, in late 1954 Taylor prepare dies for a series of pattern copper tokens that it was hoped could be produced in Melbourne by the Kangaroo Office for circulation within Australia. It appears that this did not succeed, and in 1855 Taylor began to create shilling and sixpence patterns in silver. However the Kangaroo Office again failed to obtain authority to strike and circulate these silver tokens and in 1857 the Kangaroo Office closed.

Chael Sonnen | Rampage Takes All The Money And The Spotlight But He's A Crybaby
"I think (Rampage) is going to come out one more time. You know, Quinton is really good, and I'm not sure why. I don't have the foggiest idea what he's good at. He can't wrestle a lick, I don't believe he knows any submission, he's got no real competitive boxing or kickboxing, but he is a fantastic fighter when you stick him in the cage and you turn him loose.
"I think he's got a place, but he's a crybaby, he's a real 'poor me' guy. He comes in, he takes all the money, he takes all the money, he takes all the spotlight, and it's still not enough.
"And it's coming down to, you know, guys showed him respect for a lot of years but now he's just a nuisance. You want to come around me talking that crap; I'll smack you down so fast. You think you have problems with Ryan Bader, you know don't even try that stuff with some of us that have, you know, kicked and scratched and clawed while you, you know, you've been eating at the trough for years.
"So Rampage' has a place, but if he doesn't want to fight anymore, he doesn't have too."
"These two bums (Wanderlei Silva vs. Vitor Belfort) already fought and it lasted 16 seconds, that's a no brainer. You know, look. Every time Wanderlei fights I get the same feeling, sincerely. 'Man, I hope he gets up and can walk out of the ring'. It's the same thing this time, you know, and I think he's got a big heart, I think he's got a tremendous place in martial arts from the wrasslin' he did over in Japan to the competitive stuff he did here. At the end of the day, this isn't work he can do."
"Good news – first punch I throw (at Anderson Silva) might not land. Bad news, there's going to be five more coming right behind it. I will still be the man with the biggest arm, the greatest charm and that does the most harm and when it's all said and done, I will stomp you for 25-minutes or until you give up and Bruce Buffer will once again announce, 'And still undefeated, and still undisputed, and still Chael P. Sonnen'."

couldnt agree more. he makes 300 thou a fight. nothing to bitch about.
Rampage WAY more than 300k a fight!
Chael is a nuisance himself.. He just cant accept he lost and all he does is say the same shit over and over! Just accept that you dont have submission defense and you lost! Get over it!
He fills the venue and people come to see him fight. On the Japan Card I bet a good chunk of y'all tuned in to watch Rampage vs Bader mainly with Bendo vs Edgar being the frosting on top. We're all just disappointed with his performances lately because he has wasted his talent. If Rampage wanted he could fight for ten more years but he'd have to learn more tricks if he wanted another shot at the belt.
Basically because he fills venues he deserves 300k even though he hasn't been performing so well.
1 thank you for proving my point more 2 if you think chael is serious you are fucking stupid. he says this to get hype get fans or haters. he is a genius. and you hating him is just making him more money.
I would like to see CHEAT Sonnen say that to Rampages face. Just like a few years ago Sonnen didn't have much to say when confronted by W. Silva. He said something along lines if you keep running your mouth about fighters from Brazil that he will lose his teeth. Sonnen is typical loudmouth who talks a mile of shit until confronted. Other than a few trailor trash-felons inmates on this site most every decsent human being thinks Sonnen is the biggest pile of shit that ever set foot in UFC. Where i come from people like Sonnen who commit Felonys ie: FEDERAL FRAUD are considered scum of the earth. Everything Sonnen has ever did in his life he had to cheat including college wrestling. If dana white didn't care more about money than morals he would have fired Sonnens cheating ass along time ago.
I agree and hes bad for the sport he spreads false information
That's interesting, I wasn't sure if he was a felon but if that MMA Bill passes in CA other former felons like Sonnen won't be able to fight in CA.
Being a Real Estate Broker for 25 year i will tell you what Sonnen did was PURE DISHONEST SCUM and people like him are why we all pay a fortune for home owners insurance, Auto insurance etc. If he committed that type of FELONY FRAUD where i come from he would have been run out of town. I know people who have meeded up their books and got in more trouble than Sonnen did committing a FEDERAL FRAUD where he was prosecuted by the United states Federal prosecuter which is BIG TIME FELONY and how he didn't get 10 years in Jail i will never in a million years understand. I have a sneaky hunch Dana and Fertita spoke up for him just like they did at his FRAUD hearing with Nevada athletic commission. What Sonnen did is the lowest worst thing ;possible a real estate agent could possibly do. Yes Sonnen is banned from EVER having another occupational license or working with someone elses money.
The UFC fired Falcao for a mistemeaner charge from 2001 which he hadn't paid a fine or probation somethin extremely minor but they keep a major FELON and STEROID CHEAT like Sonnen is just anotehr example of Dana's forever ongoing BIAS. Is it not obvious what motivates dana's everything $$$$$
If they pass the bill in cali the Dana said they won't be going there anymore. But for once I agree with chael. He is right about rampage. Guy has gone down hill fast. It sucks but it is what it is. After that though chael is just talking the usual shit. Can't wait til Silva kicks his teeth down his throat. Hopefully he shatters his jaw so we won't have to hear him talk for a while.
I like Chael as a fighter cause he always brings it, but by me being a mortgage Broker for the last 10 years I have to say that I agree with you about the fraud.
Chael is correct about Rampage though, he is a crybaby. I like Quinton alot too. ~Bob'O
More like 5 million for the Jones fight. He was all happy at the post fight presser at 135 because of his fat payday. I only say 5 million cause GSP has said that's what he averages fight so I'm guessing Rampage got GSP type of money for 135.
Gee no wonder GSP only fights once every few years. maybe if they dropped GSP's pay by 4.9 million he would actually want to fight more. However GSP making 5 mill kind of makes my day considering Dana said Jon Fitch was OVERPAID and he makes $104,000 per fight NO as in (ZERO) of PPV take. I guess Dana really doesn't think much of Fitch. Of course if you don't believe you can just look it up yourself on what Dana thinks of Fitch. SB nation Dana interview with Dave Meltzer, Title reads "Dana wants to get rid of Fitch" or Dana says Fitch stinks up his fight cards" interview was done shortly before BJ/Fitch fight.
His Rampage segment was the truth
I know… and I HATE to agree with Phael.. but he was spot on there
I don't see where he's spot on in most of his talk. He likes to run his mouth all the time since people will listen. I'm sure Rampage has his reasons for complaining. We don't know what goes on behind the scenes all the time. He's just one of the few fighters who doesn't feel threatened by expressing himself. Others may want to say stuff but probably don't want to risk losing their jobs like many others have. Fortunately for him he's probably in a position where he doesn't have to fight for the UFC to make good money. That's probably the only part Chael had correct.
He's delusional lol
Rampage vs Sonnen – nuff said!
Correct about Rampage but really didn't say anything any of us wouldn't have also said,obvious stuff.
LOL He said he was undefeated…Haahaahaa best lie ever.
Well your idol spitsbing says only fight he has lost was to Hendo. IMO Sonnen and spitsbing are 2 peas in pod. Gee i wonder what dana would have done if any other fighter would have spit in someones face on national Tv like Bisping did. He shoudl have been fired
This is an article about Sonnen that I think no one is going to disagree on. Rampage as of late has just been crying about crap. Rampage hasn't done anything really impressive as of late either hasn't knocked anyone out in who knows how long. Yea he needs to do some soul searching and get his head right.
Chael cracks me up. His talking pisses more people off than a kkk rally. Fact is if he learned how to defend a triangle choke FINALLY he wins the belt. And what he said about Rampage is sadly true. I also hope wandy retires after this next ko lose cause vitor still hits just as hard as when they fought the first time
Couldn't have said it any better
I've been watching MMA my whole life since Pride, King Pen, Pancris, and I got a question…. Who the fuck is Chael Sonnen? Lol fruitcake striving for attention lol all the fighters this guy has named can all beat him. He had no credentials… Lol Dana wants money so they hype up this nobody to "challenge" Silva, but in reality this dude can't beat half the middle weights out there. Look at his fight against Bisping for fuck sakes Ahaha
I like both guys, but they're both delusional
Hey kayce ima silva fan myself but you must be out of your fuckin mind not to give chael his respect….
Sonnen thinks he's God's gift, that he does no wrong and that everyone should bow down to him when he walks by. I wish he'd fight Belfor or Wanderlei, both would KILL him in the octagon…i had Bisping beating him, so I don't wanna think about what the SPIDER is gonna do to this complete and utter IDIOT! Hey Shonnen, if you get caugh by a submission (again) please DO NOT TAP!
I think the bitch eunuch is mad at Rampage for stealing his thunder…
Rampage vs Sonnen at 205, make it happen Dana.
Only if Rampage can keep it standing, 3 rounds of pitter patter LnP is the last thing we want to see.
He has bum knees, I have bum knees from football and Karate. I hate kneeling on the ground, so I am sure Rampage does too. When he gets his knees fixed he won't have worry about avoiding the ground game.
Quit giving so much head.
This TROLL thinks about me sucking other dudes off!
I bet he thinks my lips are pretty!
sonnen without the truckload of test in his system fails against anderson just look at the bisping fight he was pathetic…. chael p sonnen abuser of test and failure to the business.
I love how people hate Sonnen! He's selling fights! If your a fan you buy if you HATE him you buy to see him lose! Ali was the same way ( although much greater than Sonnen) people either loved him or hated him. And yes I was alive then and trust me a lot of people hated him ( the % of them that were racist can be debated ) but EVERYONE tuned in! I remember watching an interview years later where Ali admitted it was all fake that no one is " that great ". He's selling a fight and those of you that hate him are buying into it the most! Ironic actually when you think about it. Here's another spoiler for you, people that play evil bad people in movies aren't really that way in real life! GAAAASP!!
Ali talked shit about his opponents , Chael just talks shit about anything he thinks will get him attention, at least if Ali said this shit you could be sure he would be fighting the guy.
Like the guy above I've been a fan of MMA for a very long time and before 2010 I barely knew who Chael Sonnen was, now he's one of the most known fighters in the game even though he's only had 3 fights since then, nobody has made a career off losing a fight like Chael.
I think what's intriguing about Sonnen is he was a nobody that came out and talked all this crazy stuff about Silva before their first fight. People were like who is this crazy person! Even Silva said in the pre-fight who is Chael Sonnen? LOL and then he DOMINATED the most dominate MMA fighter in history, the man who had only lost one round prior ( Henderson) for 4 1/2 rounds. It was crazy! Styles make fights that's why Frazier always put a beating on Ali, Foreman SMASHED Frazier and ALI beats Foreman. Ali talked about fighters mothers to, I remember when he said Sonny Listons Mother had mated with a Black Bear to make Sonny LOL
Before I get corrected. * Anderson only lost one round in the UFC before Sonnen.
He started talking crazy stuff right around the time he started juicing. He came in the fight with the testosterone of 17 Sonnen's, did his LnP pitter patter stuff for 4,5 round until Silva finally got the submission win he was after.
He's not funny or witty like Ali, he's just racist, offensive and obnoxious.
Totally. Chael is like the Andy Kaufman of MMA. He clearly just has a sense of humor and supplements his lackluster fighting skills with epic trash talking. He is even friends with pro wrestlers. People who take Chael seriously who aren't from Brazil need to calm down.
Chael obviously has some misguided idea that he is awesome, IMO he lost the Bisping fight and he knows it. Silva will destroy him this time.
I used to love Rampage but he's the definition of a diva in MMA. The guy is easily one of the top 10 earners in MMA history and he wants to complain about money. Rampage needs to learn to keep his mouth shut when it comes to the fight biz and just focus on doing what he does best…fighting.
If the rampage from pride comes to the fight then any fighter is in trouble, I remember when rampage was pure wrestling and ground and pound, as soon as he came to the ufc he was a boxer…that's why these fighters beat him cuz he isn't fighting to his full potential, quite sad and a waste…rampage 4 life
except sonnen is not undefeated, not even close, and the only thing undisputed about him is his big mouth and mediocre win/loss record, oh yes, and he is not a champion, that also is undisputed.
Sonnen vs Rampage….. HELL NO! Listen UFC, I want my fight with Rampage! I've been waiting since The Ultimate Fighter to whoop his a$$! Give me my shot! I'll beat his a$$ for free! Quit the BS and lets make this fight happen! Darrill "Titties" Schoonover for life son! Remember my name! I'll tap Rampage out…. Flying Kimura son, flying kimura on his a$$!
If you look up Sonnens fight resume it is shocking that he ever even got a shot at the belt in the first place. His best win is against Okami or Bisping. Maybe I can shit talk myself to a title shot against GSP.
I like how hes like i beat bryan stann. Stann has only beat people past there prime in the ufc. I mean come on he lost to Damien miya. That dude has no hands,cardo, and he runs into punches
I'd love to see Rousimar Palhares fight Chael and put an end to his career. Crank one of those leg locks until everything tears. Maybe Sonnen would stop bashing every Brazilian after that.
I love Rampage, but Chael is 100% right.
Somebody please teach this guy triangle choke defense he has been submitted bye the same move every fucking time damm im only a white belt. And ive never been submitted bye a triangle. He gives his right arm every time. Plus u got beat with a happy meal triangle choke how lame
Nice post. I was checking continuously this blog and I'm inspired! Very helpful information specifically the ultimate phase I care for such info much. I used to be seeking this particular information for a very lengthy time. Thank you and good luck.

Ashraf's note:
The giveaway for November 4, 2009 is AllMedia Grabber v4.2 not v4.0. I accidentally linked to this review instead of the review on v4.2 from GOTD. You can read the review on v4.2 at http://dottech.org/gotdreviews/11666. Sorry for any inconvenience.
————————-{/rw_text} –>
- Integrates with Windows right click context menu.
- Can search files and folders
- Works well finding images in documents (i.e. .PPT, .PDF, .DOC, etc.).
- Built in image viewer.
{/rw_good} –>
- Does not work very well with everything else.
- Ugly interface.
- Windows right-click context menu entry is for every file.
- Takes a second or two to load.
- By default when opened the program is at my D:/ drive instead of my Windows partition.
- You need to turn off "check for updates automatically" or you may go insane.
- It made my computer crash (blue screen) and killed my internet.
- The same file may be saved more than once.
{/rw_bad} –>
{for="Features as Described" value="10″}All features are there.
{for="Ease of Use" value="7″}Ugly interface and a little bit confusing on how to use.
{for="Performance" value="5″}Works with some files but not others.
{for="Usefulness" value="4″}Useful for those people who use the types of files this works with.
{for="Arbitrary Equalizer" value="5″}This category reflects an arbitrary number that does not specifically stand for anything. Rather this number is used to reflect my overall rating/verdict of the program in which I considered all the features and free alternatives.
{/rw_score} –>
{/rw_verdict} –>
Registration and installation went fine. You have to manually enter the registration information. After installation you will be prompted to upgrade to v4.1. Don't do it – your GOTD key will not be accepted. Also, after installation Vista users should right click on AllMedia Grabber, go to "Properties" -> "Compatibility" and check "Run this program as Administrator". Also after installation, run AllMedia Grabber and go to "Options" -> "Settings" -> "General" and uncheck "Automatically check for updates".
AllMedia Grabber is a program that allows you to find and extract
From "EXECUTABLES, LIBRARIES, CUSTOM CONTROLS, MICROSOFT OFFICE FILES, DATABASES, RAW or BINARY FILES (like exe, dll, ocx, doc, ppt, xls, pdf, mdb, raw, bin, hex…)". Of course the developer cleverly did not specify all the files AllMedia Grabber can extract from but in my testing it seems like AllMedia Grabber can "scan" just about any type of file: if you right click on any file, a context menu entry will say "AllMedia Grabber (extract)". Select that and AllMedia Grabber will scan the file and see what it can find. This happens for files where you would not expect images, icons, video or music files to be in like .TXT and .HTML files. However it is worth noting on the "filter", AllMedia Grabber only shows .EXE, .DLL, .OCX, .DOC/.DOCX, .PPT/.PPTX, .XLS/XLSX, and .MDB/.MDBX:
This what AllMedia Grabber looks like:
Note how ugly the interface is. Also note that it loaded a folder in my D:/ partition. For some reason that is the default location that is opened whenever I run AllMedia Grabber – it is very annoying.
Via the window shown to you above, you can browse your computer and scan folders/files. AllMedia grabber is supposed to find all the image/video/music files present in those folders/files. When you hit "Scan Folder" or "Search File" the window changes to the "scanner" window:
If you right click on a file and select "AllMedia Grabber (extract)" the same thing happens. After a scan is finished, your files are saved – you can view them:
With all saved files you can:
- View;
- Copy to folder;
- Move to folder;
- Delete;
- Delete all;
- Delete all saved files;
- Copy image to clipboard;
- Set as wallpaper;
- Convert to BMP;
- Convert to ICO.
One thing to note is that if you scan the same file mutilple times, the images/movies/sound found in that file will be saved by AllMedia Grabber multiple times. In other words you may have multiple copies of the same file.
That is basically all that AllMedia Grabber does. However I would like to comment on the performance of this program. AllMedia Grabber works well when scanning a document (.PPT, .PDF, .DOC, etc.) for images – most/all of the images are found and saved. AllMedia Grabber also does well in finding .ICO files from folders/files. However for everything else AllMedia Grabber sucks. Scanning files such as .EXE or .ZIP does not work properly. For .EXE AllMedia usually finds the .ICO but not the rest of the images. For the .ZIPs I tested it on it found the .PNGs but not the .JPGs. In folder scanning: some folders are scanned just fine and image files are found while others are not. Videos are not found properly from any type of file/folder.
Overall I give AllMediaGrabber a thumbs down. It is too ugly, too buggy, and too annoying to keep.
This review was conducted on a laptop running Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit. The specs of the laptop are as follows: 3GB of RAM, a Radeon HD 2600 512MB graphics card, and an Intel T8300 2.4GHz Core 2 Duo processor.
{rw_verdict2}AllMedia Grabber gets a thumbs down. The only thing it works good in is finding image files in documents; for everything else it does not work very well at. Considering all the annoyances of this program, I recommened skipping out on this one and looking for alternative programs to serve your needs.

@Ashraf: Dear Ashraf
this is probably the inappropriate way of asking you the question that follows, but I do not know of any other method.
You appear to be the most informed person I found on the internet on software programs.
I have been looking since a long time for a program that lists ONLY all the FIRST TIER directories (folders) in a hard disk and gives their sizes.
Ther are many programs, starting with the old Dir command that list the directories and their file content, but tht is not what I want, I only want the total size of each FIRST tier forlder, ie. the one that appears in the list when you expand the content of a disk in windows explorer or my computer.
Do you know of the existence of such a program, If yes would you be so kind to indicate to me where I can find it.
Many thanks in anticipation and my highest commendation for the comprehensive and balanced reviews you publish on so many software programs
best regards
Actually, Ashraf, you made a slight mistake there. Today's version is V4.2, not 4.0…and that the latest version is V4.3, not V4.1 :p

I'm surprised this got as high a rating as it did since it crashed your comoputer and killed your internet. I would have given it 2.5 at most!
On another subject, if you so allow, I can't find your Apr. 25 review of PC Tools Privacy Guardian. Is the offer over or did it crash too?
I love how when you say your default drive was D:\ it looks like an angry face :)
It's ok Ash, everybody has bad Tech Days ;-)
Bad Hair Days are much worse … HeeeHeee
Someone on GOTD added this link
There are 3 programs on that page.
Does anybody know any of them? Usually stuff from Nirsoft is Ok, isn't it?
Would you know the difference btwn "ResourcesExtract" & "IconsExtract"?
And which would be better for what I do?
Be back later
Hello Ashraf :D
Hummm, and we disagree on this one … ;-)
Have AllMedia Grabber since it was first offered many moons ago.
I like it!
Don't find it buggy or ugly.
Does what is supposed to ie extracts .ico .png, etc from .exe
It gives me a lot of choices to iconize the respective program/data folders of said programs (w FolderMarker), so I can find them quicker.
Plus, makes my folders quite pretty :*)
Of course, for ppl who dont iconize their folders, this isn't very useful.
Never had a problem w any of the different versions from GOTD.
Tried 2 or 3 other extractors, none were good. This is the one I like best.
Do you know of any *good* free alternatives that work better?
I'd be willing to switch if there is something better!

Lollipop Chainsaw has shipped more than 700,000 copies since launch in June, making it Grasshopper Manufacture's most-shipped game in its history, Andriasang reports. The news comes from the Lollipop Chainsaw Summer Appreciation Festival event, held this weekend at the Kadokawa Games office in Japan.
The news comes about a year after Grasshopper Manufacture's Shadows of the Damned hit shelves, selling only 24,000 units during its launch month. That game was published by Electronic Arts and won warm reviews.
Also during the event, Grasshopper Manufacture CEO Suda 51 shared a promotional video for the company's mysterious new project, Killer Is Dead. The game will reportedly focus on a katana-wielding cyborg man and make use of a different art style from Lollipop Chainsaw or Shadows of the Damned. Killed Is Dead is due out for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 in 2013.

2013 Home Run Sports Coach of the Year
Haylee O'Neill from Oakville, MB is not just a leader on the field, she is a leader in the softball community. She has a deep passion for the game of softball which is matched by a strong work ethic. She puts that passion and work ethic to good use in her coaching and volunteering in the sport she loves. As Team Manitoba's Head Coach, Haylee led her women's team to a silver medal (the highest finish ever for Manitoba) at the 2013 Canada Summer Games. She focuses on the holistic development of her athletes ensuring that they have the technical/tactical skills, mental skills, physical skills and proper nutrition habits necessary to excel. However, her greatest asset as a coach is that she is never too busy to take the time to work with and listen to each and every one of her athletes – making them all better players and more importantly better people.
As Softball Manitoba's Master Learning Facilitator, she trains and develops Learning Facilitators to deliver the NCCP as well as passing her knowledge and experiences on to coaches by facilitating NCCP clinics. In addition, she is the Coordinator for Softball Manitoba's Junior Clinician Program which trains young adults to be skills clinicians and is also involved in the Inner City Youth Softball Development Program. None of these programs would have reached their 2013 success without Haylee's leadership and ability to share her coaching expertise.
This year Haylee was also named to Softball Canada's Women's National Team Coaches Pool assisting the team at various events this past summer. Her coaching ability is undeniably recognized within the softball community and any athlete that works with her is extremely privileged. She shows her passion, dedication and selflessness in everything she does. Haylee O'Neill is a very deserving recipient of the 2013 Home Run Sports Coach of the Year.

Noblesville man is on the hunt for his missing 8-foot-long boa constrictor
NOBLESVILLE, Ind. - It's slithering somewhere in a Noblesville neighborhood, and Hamilton County animal control is asking neighbors to be on the lookout for a missing 8-foot-long boa constrictor.
It was Labor Day. The snake's owner had her outside to sun. He says he turned his head for just a moment, and she was gone.
Now, coming outside and parting the tall grasses has become an hourly ritual for Scott Bolinger.
"I have some neighbors who are pretty freaked out about her," Bolinger said. "I want to keep them safe and make sure they feel at ease."
For days, he's been looking for his 8-foot-long Columbian Red Tail boa constrictor named "Rainbow."
"I'm worried about her," Bolinger said. "I've had her for five years; she's part of my family."
The snake's escape has nervous neighbors constantly driving by, asking the same question: if the reptile has been found yet.
Bolinger said Rainbow had just eaten a huge meal: an entire rabbit. So, he said, she shouldn't be hunting for weeks.
"There's not much of a search. I think finding it anymore will be luck," Hamilton County Sheriff's Office Deputy Tom Rogers said. "They camouflage extremely well."
Deputy Rogers said they can only wait now for the cold-blooded critter to come out to sun, and for somebody to see it.
He says the snake sounds scarier than it is.
"Everybody looks at it and says, 'Gee, it's a boa constrictor! They're from Columbia or South America.' But our black snakes, rat snakes, corn snakes, all of the non-venomous snakes in the state of Indiana, are all constrictors; that's how they kill their prey. So they're actually no different," Deputy Rogers said. "And an 8-foot snake is no different than a 6-foot rat snake or an 8-foot black snake in the state of Indiana."
If you see the boa constrictor, the most important thing is: Don't touch it yourself. Instead, call the Hamilton County non-emergency dispatch line or call 911.
Rogers also said you don't have to worry about out-running the snake, because people can walk faster than boas can move.
Bolinger said if he does get the snake back, he will likely take her outside to stretch and sun again, but he won't take his eyes off her next time.

Husband wins care rights for stricken wifeWritten by Associated Press | | email@example.com
The husband of a woman in Ohio who has been in a persistent vegetative state since early September has won a battle with his wife's family over guardianship.
Both sides reached an agreement Nov. 25 in a Toledo court that will allow Robert Lavers to have control over his 38-year-old wife's medical care.
Lavers applied for guardianship after his wife's sister made the same request. Lavers said he feared that his sister-in-law would discontinue life support if she was given guardianship.
Heather Lavers has been in a persistent vegetative state since having a heart attack while sleeping at her home in Gibsonton, Fla.
She has since been moved into a nursing home near Toledo.
Doctors have said it's unlikely that she will awaken.

The North Carolina Association of Realtors is taking a very measured view of the compromise tax reform plan.
We do not support placing a cap on mortgage interest and property tax deductions. We see a cap on mortgage interest and property tax deductions as a major shift in tax policy that will hurt homeowners across the state and the entire real estate economy.
When the real estate economy suffers, the general economy suffers accordingly. Increasing the tax burden on housing and homeownership will hurt the overall goal of tax reform to improve North Carolina's economy.
We are concerned that this tax reform will have an overall negative impact on the state's broader economy – costing us jobs and stalling a recovery in the real estate market.
It's a bad time to place restrictive tax policies on the real estate economy. We are just emerging from the worst recession since the Great Depression. The North Carolina Association of Realtors believe we should be encouraging homeownership and private property rights – not adopting legislation that will be a de facto tax increase on homeowners.
