By: Christopher West - WSS Mad Man
For a variety of reasons, I've watched more non-local basketball than usual this year. I haven't ventured down the road towards being a total weirdo that constantly watches Sun Belt Conferences games and stays in on Friday night because I might be able to catch an Ivy League game on an obscure channel. But I've seen most of the big conference teams play at least a time or two this year, so more than any other year of my life, I actually have opinions on a lot of the teams in the NCAA tournament.
Now, I fully recognize that if you're like most people, you're really only interested in watching games that help make your bracket look better. But if you're actually looking for some interesting tidbits in this tournament that don't necessarily involve you winning money off your pals (though I certainly hope that happens, as well), I'm here with a few tips of the teams, players and games you should be watching. So here are my semi-informed suggestions for things you should be on the lookout for this weekend:
Five Fun Teams to Watch
LSU: The Tigers head this least because they were the team on this list that I got really excited to watch whenever I saw their name pop up on my on-screen channel guide, despite them not necessarily being all that good. Lack up depth is an issue for LSU, but their top 4-5 guys are pretty strong. I'm not even close to exaggerating when I say that there's not a better tandem of big men in the country than Jarell Martin and Jordan Mickey. If you watch Sportscenter a lot, you may recall seeing Martin complete a between-the-legs dunk during a game. It was an insanely stupid thing to do during a tie game against a conference rival, but seems awesome now, given that it worked out. Rounding out the top-4 on the team are guards Tim Quarterman and Keith Hornsby. Quarterman didn't even start at the beginning of the year, but is now a jack-of-all trades for the Tigers. And Hornsby (who I'll talk more about in another section) is the classic streaky player who spends most of his time jacking up threes whenever he has the chance. You might not see the most sound decisions coming from LSU, but if you watch them play, you will walk away entertained.
St. John's: You know that super-athletic dude you went to high school with who dominated every pick up game that he played in, but only logged about 7 minutes per game as the third guy off the bench for your actual school team? St. John's is basically that guy if he was an entire team. The Red Storm is a super-talented, super-athletic squad that coach Steve Lavin has instilled virtually no discipline in. Their chances for success took a hit when forward Chris Obekpa, St. Johns' shot-blocking sensation and noted proponent of short shorts was suspended for two weeks starting this past Sunday, meaning that he'll only play if the Red Storm make the Final Four (and that's not happening). But they's still got their star forward Sir'Dominic Pointer, who is long, athletic, and named Sir'Dominic (that has to count for something, right?), as well as a couple of guards who could each go for 20 points on any given night. Their draw against defensive-minded San Diego State will be an interesting matchup, given the extreme contrast in styles. But don't be surprised if St. John's talents its way to a first round win before getting pummeled by a Duke squad that is similarly athletic, but has fairly extensive experience with the concept of discipline.
Villanova: Okay, so you're a basketball purist. And you don't like that I'm filling this list with teams that are fun to watch because they're up tempo and sport a lot of talent, but are perhaps lacking in terms of how they approach the game. Well, I've got team for you, too–Villanova. Yeah, they're a 1-seed, but it's entirely possible you missed them due to the Big East exiling most of the conferences games to Fox Sports 1 this year. The Wildcats stand for that old adage that the whole is often better than the sum of its parts. I don't want to make it sound like Villanova does not have talent, because honestly, guys like JayVaughn Pinkston, Daniel Ochefu, Tyler Ennis and Ryan Arcidiacono (or any of the rest of the main rotation guys who I can't immediately name, really) are all good. Heck, Arcidiacono was Big East co-Player of the Year this season. But none of them individually jump off the page at you. They just play smart, solid, team basketball. You can circle their potential second-round matchup versus LSU as a battle for college basketball's soul. And if Villanova manages to take that game, you old school basketball fans will be able to sleep securely knowing that everything is still right in the world.
Iowa State: College basketball's favorite destination for players thinking of transferring is finally ready for prime time this year. You want guys who can score at the drop of a hat? I give you Georges Niang and Monte Morris. Need an athletic rim protector with cool hair? Meet Jameel McKay (a Milwaukee Pulaski grad who, along with backup guard Matt Thomas, of Onalaska, gives us Wisconsinites a couple of guys to root for). Prefer your coach to resemble your cool uncle who agreed to coach your basketball team back when you were 12 years old? I think you'd like Fred Hoiberg.
The Cyclones can get up and down the floor with anyone, but have a bit more substance than some of the aforementioned teams that just try to out-athlete you to death. The only thing keeping me from seriously considering Iowa State as my national championship this year (aside from the fact that Kentucky is everyone's prohibitive favorite) is their tough road to the Final Four. SMU, Gonzaga, in-state rival Iowa, and Duke are each potentially in Iowa State's path, and I'd be glued to the screen for any of those games. You should be, as well.
Kentucky: Yeah, I'm with you. I generally hate Kentucky, too. But we need to remember some things about the Wildcats: One, they don't make the rules. And if stopping in for a year of college before heading to the NBA is a legitimate path for a college player, we can't be too upset that one school has found a way to attract all those guys and make it work within the current framework.
Two, regardless of how all of the players got there or how long they're there, Kentucky is putting an insane collection of talent on the floor that no self-respecting basketball fan should ignore. Three, the fact that John Calipari has gotten an entire roster full of guys who would be the focal point of virtually any other college basketball team out there to thrive playing limited minutes as part of a platoon system is nothing short of amazing. We live in an era where we constantly criticize athletes for having out of control egos. So shouldn't cynics like you and me be begging for more stories like Karl-Anthony Towns, the potential #1 overall pick in this year's NBA draft, who's totally cool with his coach telling him that he can only play 21 minutes per game?
Okay, Kentucky's fans are insufferable. And it feels sometimes like they're exploiting someone else's bad rules for their personal game. But at the end of the day, the Wildcats have assembled a historic amount of talent and their coach is successfully using his roster in a way that seems like it should be objectively impossible given the potential egos involved. Rather than complain about all that's wrong with Kentucky, wouldn't it be nice to sit back and enjoy those things as they pursue perfection?
No? Okay then–let's just consider them one of the most interesting villains of all time, then.
Five Players With Interesting Back-Stories
Kevin Ware, Georgia State: Remember that Louisville guy who completely shattered his leg on a freak play during the Final Four a few years back? He's a Georgia State guy now. If you can't root for a redemption story for a guy whose injury was so horrific that it caused his nearby teammates to immediately burst into tears, who can you root for?
Keith Hornsby. LSU: Popular, laid-back musician Bruce Hornsby has a son. His name is Keith, he's a tatted-up millennial who also happens to be a player who jacks up a lot of three-pointers for LSU. And while I think he looks like he's probably a complete douche, the dude definitely has some game. Next thing you're going to tell me that Jack Johnson has a cousin who's a beast of a post player for UC-Irvine...
Tanner Johnson, UC-Irvine: Just kidding–no such person exists (at least not to my knowledge).
Matt Stainbrook, Xavier: Stainbrook is personally interesting to me because a friend of mine pointed out that he bears a mild resemblance to me (i.e., he's a sort of dumpy-looking post player with unkempt brown hair and doesn't necessarily look like he should be out there), save for the fact that he's a pretty solid basketball player. But to the rest of the world, Stainbrook is the guy who awesomely gave his scholarship to his brother and picks up a few extra bucks in his spare time driving for Uber. It has taken every ounce of self-control for me in the past few months to not go to Cincinnati and just start requesting rides in hopes of landing in Stainbrook's car.
Willie Cauley-Stein, Kentucky: It's unclear how this was allowed to happen, but apparently Kentucky's most important player is a junior. I presume that the NCAA must have granted Cauley-Stein some sort of waiver, since everyone knows that no one is allowed to play at Kentucky for more than two years. As college fans, let's just be happy that we get to see him as the engine of the most imposing team ever this year, and not as another talented dude stuck playing for the Philadelphia 76ers during their lost season.
Domantis Sabonis, Gonzaga: He's foul prone and only gets 20-25 minutes per game for Gonzaga as a freshman, but he's super-active and efficient when he's in the game. He's also the son of Soviet hoops legend Arvydas Sabonis, who many consider to be in the argument for best basketball player of all time before injuries robbed him of his athleticism. This, of course, seems unfathomable to most Americans who only saw the elder Sabonis with the Portland Trailblazers, at the point when he looked more like my friend Andy's out-of-shape insurance agent dad than a sports icon. In any event, the genetics situation worked out better for Domantis Sabonis than, say, Marcus Jordan, and he's a key cog for the best team in the country that no one fully trusts.
Five Potentially Great Games That May Happen During the First Weekend
BYU vs. Mississippi:
(Note–while I wrote the following paragraph two days before the game, I didn't have the chance to submit it until a day afterward. In case you're skeptical of my suggestions and need a reason to continue reading, let's just say there was frantic announcer yelling going on after about every third play in this one.)
In general, the "First Four" games are nothing to write home about. But I might actually tune into BYU and Mississippi. I still don't think either team is all that incredible, but when there are three guys on the floor capable of scoring 30 points on any given night (I'm referring to BYU's Tyler Hawes and ___, and Mississippi's Stephon Moody, of course), that's definitely worth my time on a night when NIT games or actually living my life are my only other options. (Note–while I wrote this paragraph two days before the game, I didn't have the chance to submit it until a day afterward. In case you're skeptical of my suggestions and need a reason to continue reading, let's just say there was a lot of frantic announcer yelling going on during this one.)
Iowa vs. Gonzaga:
I don't want to come off as a guy who's implying that Gonzaga didn't earn its 2-seed, because the Bulldogs totally deserve all the accolades they're getting. It's just that Iowa has quietly been playing some pretty good basketball of late (save for an early exit from the Big Ten tourney). The Hawkeyses will be completely outclassed at the guard spots, and their coach is always a ticking time bomb. But all I'm saying is that if Aaron White and Jared Uthoff get going and Adam Woodbury pokes enough key guys in the eye, this one could be a lot more entertaining than a typical 2-seed vs. 6-seed matchup in this potential Sunday matchup.
Virginia vs. Michigan State:
Virginia vs. Michigan State:
Michigan State sometimes hurts itself by not rounding into form until March. But you know who gets hurt more than Michigan State when the Spartans pull a low seed? Every team that has to play Michigan State. A matchup like Virginia-Michigan State should be played with a trip to the Final Four on the line. Instead, due to the Spartans' slow start, it's probably being played on Sunday, just to get to the second weekend. Get ready for a war, and get ready to watch some of the best played basketball you'll see all year. It's not every day that coaches as outstanding as Tom Izzo and Tony Bennett square off.
LSU vs. Villanova:
LSU vs. Villanova:
Like I said above, if you like smart, understated, team basketball, you're rooting for Villanova. If you like flash and excitement, even if the consistency isn't always there, you're cheering for LSU. A lot of purists will be upset if LSU triumphs in this one. And let me tell you right now–if LSU gets to this game (their opening round game against NC State will be another good battle), such a triumph is not out of the question.
SMU vs. UCLA:
SMU vs. UCLA:
Ever since the moment in the selection show when Doug Gottlieb crapped all over UCLA and the choice to put the Bruins into the tournament, they've been the popular team to bash. No, this UCLA team probably shouldn't have made the tournament. And no, Steve Alford does not have one of his better squads this year. But UCLA's guys can now play the "no respect" card, and will be playing with a chip on their shoulders against an SMU team that I personally think is the best 6-seed in the field, but which is lacking in terms of wins over top-25 teams.
VCU vs. Ohio State:
VCU vs. Ohio State:
Yeah, I went over my self-imposed limit of five games. Like you don't want to see how D'Angelo Harrison does against VCU's havoc defense. I don't see either of these teams going far, but this should nonetheless be a fun pairing.
Happy hoops watching to all. May all your brackets be perfect!

Ruby Regular Expresssions
These are some regular expressions that I use in Ruby, which I find useful from time to time. Sadly some aren't as terse as they would be in Perl, due mostly to the fact that Ruby doesn't support look behind.
Firstly, adding commas to large integers:
>> string = '12345678'
=> '1234567'
>> regex = /(\d)(?=(\d\d\d)+$)/
=> /(\d)(?=(\d\d\d)+$)/
>> string.gsub(regex, '\1,')
=> '12,345,678'

nice... but I have to be honest, I know shitZu about wine, only thing I know is when I like and when I don't like it and that's pretty much all I need. But I admire and respect the ones who goes deeper on that journey.
Totally checking this out!
Have you seen the documentary about the french pastry competition? It's way entertaining.
^^^One reviewer called it "The Culinary Hurt Locker". That may be the best review of a movie ever! I must see this now.

I know ive said this before on BaM but... I was once asked by a friend if I wanted to go take classes to become a sommelier. I said no. The way I saw it, all it would do is make it more expensive to get loaded with my friends. As it stands, it's hard for me to find a wine I can drink under $20 a bottle.

I've never really gotten into wines. I dig scotch though.

I go in phases. I'll drink wine for a while, then beer, then vodka, etc. Currently I'm in a wine phase. I'm certainly no connoisseur, but I do enjoy a nice glass of Malbec from time to time.
Being where I am I'm kind of surrounded by the stuff! Bordeaux is less than 60 miles away and we are literally surrounded by plum orchards, sunflowers and most importantly grape vines. We are at the heart of armagnac country (most of the production is within 20 miles and the Janneau factory is 5 miles away in our nearest town). Certainly no expert but if it's red and aged in oak it's going to be fairly tasty.
I tend to go with a cold beer when cooking, nice glass of the grapey stuff when eating and an armagnac to round it all off.

I think that like a lot of things, there's a diminishing return as the price goes higher.

Madonna is one the all-time greatest performers selling out crowds wherever Madonna performs. In addition to Madonna's enormously successful career in the entertainment industry she also know as a great philanthropist. Expect to continue to hear the songs
The pop music world has always been fiercely competitive so when Taylor Swift's music video for "Bad Blood" suddenly got pitted against Madonna's clip for "B*tch, I'm Madonna" things got a little dicey.
Thankfully, the "Shake It Off" songstress took the high road and decided not to buy into all the hype. Taylor told Vanity Fair, "I felt so much resentment that they would take two women who made ambitious music videos and use that as a qualifying factor to comparing and contrasting them."
Following a slight delay, Madonna is gearing up to unveil her much-anticipated music video for "B*tch I'm Madonna" on Wednesday (June 17).
The "Like a Virgin" songstress sent a preview clip to the good folks at "Good Morning America" and Lara Spencer introduced the video by comparing it to Taylor Swift's previously-released "Bad Blood" project.
Following the trend Taylor Swift started with her "Bad Blood" clip, Madonna just announced her cast of hotties for the forthcoming "B*tch I'm Madonna" project.
Madge will join forces with Katy Perry, Beyoncé, Miley Cyrus, Rita Ora and Nicki Minaj for the music video, which was supposed to release today (June 16).
There's been all kinds of speculation regarding Madonna's spur-of-the-moment make out session with Drake at Coachella last night (April 12) and now the truth has come out.
Earlier today rumors ran rampant that the "Recognize" hitmaker was disgusted by the way Madge aggressively kissed him, and from the photos of the incident it was clear that he made a less-than-excited facial expression immediately after the moment.
Always popular with the ladies, Drake ended up as the target of Madonna's affections during his set at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival on Sunday night (April 12).
The handsome musician invited Madge to join him on stage for his song "Madonna," and afterwards she sang parts of "Human Nature and "Hung Up" before strutting over to him and making out with him for a good 10 seconds.
His Classroom Instruments sketch has always been a fan favorite, and Jimmy Fallon tapped Madonna as his latest collaborator on "The Tonight Show" last night (April 9).
The Material Girl wore some snazzy sunglasses as she joined a Hawaiian-shirted Fallon and The Roots for an exciting rendition of her classic hit "Holiday."
Making for a marvelous May 2015 edition, Cosmopolitan snagged Madonna for their 50th Anniversary cover.
The "Material Girl" songstress last appeared on the front of the publication back in 1990 for their 25th birthday edition and she's evolved quite a bit over the past quarter century. She explains, "Popularity comes and goes. You need to know who you are, what you stand for, and why you're here."
They're both major pop stars in their own right and last night (March 29) Taylor Swift and Madonna joined forces to rock the 2015 iHeartRadio Music Awards at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles.
The "I Knew You Were Trouble" songstress hid behind Madge as "Ghosttown" got underway, and when she emerged the crowd went wild.
They're both huge pop stars in their own right, and Madonna and Justin Bieber have both done some pretty crazy things during their careers.
During Wednesday's episode of "The Ellen DeGeneres Show," the "Baby" hunk and the "Like a Prayer" songstress got into a game of "Never Have I Ever," much to the delight of the studio audience.
She's the epitome of girl power these days, but Madonna fell victim to a rapist after moving to New York City when she was 19 years old.
While chatting with Howard Stern on Wednesday (March 11), the "Papa Don't Preach" songstress recalled her reasons for not calling the cops after she was violated (she initially shared her story in a 2013 Harper's Bazaar interview).

Gloucestershire firefighters strike in row over pensions
Posted: May 02, 2014|
Firefighters in Gloucestershire start a series of strikes today in a row over pensions.
The Fire Brigades' Union will call its members out on strike for five hours this afternoon between noon and 5pm, with another 12-hour strike between 2pm tomorrow and 2am on Sunday morning.
The third period of strike action is due to take place between 10am and 3pm on Sunday.
Fire chiefs across the West are re-jigging cover and hoping to call on retained firefighters whose "on-call" stations are not affected by the strike action.
A picket line is expected to be set up at the Cheltenham North fire station at the Elmbridge Court roundabout.
The dispute, which has rumbled on since last year, is about pensions and Government plans to make firefighters work into their 60s.

If he'd been playing a human character, I might agree. As it was, Sybok was very poorly realized. An "emotional Vulcan" could have been portrayed as somebody who was Vulcan first, and emtional second. As it was, he came off more as a rather gregarious human who just happened to have pointy ears. There was nothing Vulcan about him beyond the superficial.
He even contradicted what we were always told about Vulcans--that they learned to suppress their emotions because they were such a violent people. An emotional Vulcan should be more of a scary bastard.

Comcast's "Six Strikes" Email With Infringement Details Surfaces
by Ernesto
Together with four other internet providers in the United States, Comcast has started sending copyright alerts to customers who use BitTorrent and other P2P networks to pirate movies, TV-shows and music. Those who are "caught" will receive a browser notification, a voice-mail message and an email with details on the file that was allegedly shared. We have a copy of one of the first emails that went out on Tuesday.
Earlier this week the
six strikes anti-piracy system
finally launched more than a year later than initially planned.
One of the things that stood out most was
the lack of information
released through official channels.
On launch day the Center for Copyright Information, who are in charge of the operation, were unable to tell us what measures the ISPs have in store for persistent pirates and none of the providers listed any detailed information on their websites.
Luckily, more and
more details
were published in the days that followed, but many questions remained.
For example, several Comcast consumers complained that the pop-up notification shown in
the help section
doesn't include any details on the allegedly infringed files. How can people take action if they don't know what they did wrong, people wondered.
Vague alerts shared in Comcast help section
This and other questions could have easily been avoided by clearly explaining how the "copyright alerts" are sent and what information people can expect.
TorrentFreak talked to one of the first recipients of a copyright alert and he tells us that in addition to the browser notification, he also received an email and a voice-mail message. The email (see below) briefly explains why the customer received this alert and also lists the alleged unauthorized download. The voice-mail carries the same information.
As expected the copyright alert is carefully worded. Comcast makes it clear that the notice comes from a copyright holder, to avoid the suggestion that they might be monitoring users' Internet connections.
"A copyright owner has sent Comcast a notice claiming your Internet service from Comcast was used to copy or share copyrighted content like a movie, television program or song improperly," the email starts.
The email further points out where people can download movies and music legitimately, and notes that the copyright alerts are supposed to educate consumers.
Interestingly, the email doesn't inform recipients that after four warnings they will be
unable to browse the Internet
. Nor is it mentioned that the notice can be appealed. Subscribers will have to learn about the looming browser hijack and other details in the Comcast help section.
The infringement details at the bottom of the email are pretty much identical to the ones that were already
sent out under the DMCA
. It lists the title of the pirated file, a time-stamp, the protocol and IP-address.
While it's helpful to see what accused downloaders can expect, the email doesn't provide any new details. Again, what stands out is the lack of information, especially with regard to the option to appeal a "strike".
The full email Comcast sent for their first strike is shown below. Have you received one yourself? If so, please let us know.

When a teething baby is so uncomfortable, disconsolate and just miserable any parent would want to take the pain away, yet feel at a loss as to how. There is so much banter about consulting a doctor regarding the medicating of babies that even pain killers formulated and marketed for babies give parents pause, leaving them to wonder if this is really the safest choice for their teething baby.
Rest assured that there are many safe options that can be used effectively to calm and comfort the pain of teething.
There are many medications that can be used to reduce the pain of teething. Pediatricians recommend rotating between a combination of medicines such as ibuprofen and acetaminophen.
The rotation is not just so makers of both medications owe pediatricians a kick-back. Rotating between these different pain killers has a definite benefit for your child. The active ingredients in each preparation are different, so by switching back and forth the body does not become tolerant to either medication. Rotating also means doses can overlap slightly thus ensuring that the medication does not wear off and result in baby being uncomfortable before the new dose starts working.
It is also easier on a baby's sensitive stomach to rotate the medicines.
If the idea of giving your baby a child friendly formula created from an adult medication is uncomfortable there are other options. Homeopathic tablets have become very popular and are quite effective. Hyland's brand teething tablets are small white pills with no active ingredients, but many moms sing their praises to anyone who asks.
These pills can be very effective. When asked pediatricians say these little pills are more sugar than anything else, but that is the point and beauty of homeopathy. The trick is in proper dosing. When choosing a more conventional painkiller a spoonful is enough to get baby through the next 4 hours or so. Homeopathic pills require more frequent dosing to get the relief rolling.
Gum numbing gels are another medication based option for teething baby.
These gels are applied right to the gums and provide a numbing sensation. Some babies prefer gels, others are annoyed, but the price is low enough that it warrants a test run at the very least.
Some parents just don't like the idea of any medication and that is just fine, there is still much that can be done to soothe a teething baby's pain away.
When the discomfort of teething hits, some babies experience an increased need to suck. This increased suckling helps them to self soothe. If nursing 24-7 is not an option, then it might be time to think about introducing a pacifier, if baby doesn't already take one.
There are many binky type products that are designed to hold cold or frozen water. This adds an additional aspect of pain management.
Sometimes all baby needs is a bit of extra love in warm arms and the rocking chair. Most don't have the luxury of snuggling baby all day, to this end swaddling baby, even if they no longer like it at night, and putting them in a swing can work wonders.
Babies are able to put mind over matter when adequately distracted. Rotate out the toys so they aren't always playing with the same old stuff. Put baby in the stroller and go for a walk out of doors, or even change the usual blanket used in the crib or under baby's belly at tummy time. These simple changes can be distracting enough to make baby forget about the discomfort of teething to some degree.
Teething babies love to put things in their mouths. Cold objects provide more relief than others. Put a clean, damp washcloth in the freezer for a few minutes then let your baby chew away.
There are many toys and teething rings designed to be frozen. Try tossing them in the freezer at night and see how baby likes the cold teether in the morning.
Last, but certainly not least, many babies find instant relief when mom or dad gently rubs their sore, swollen gums. A finger or a baby tooth brush can be used and the effort is usually rewarded with a big, thankful grin!
Football and food go together. That's a lot of game day food pressure, so from appetizers to the best chili recipes ever...we'll make sure you don't fumble.

Pakistan ignores Razzaq for World Twenty20Comment on this story
Sharjah, United Arab Emirates – Pakistan has left out all-rounder Abdul Razzaq while including Shoaib Malik and wicketkeeper Kamran Akmal in the list of 30 probables for World Twenty20 in March.
Razzaq, who has played 32 Twenty20s, made an unimpressive return to shortest format last November against South Africa in the United Arab Emirates when he could score only 10 runs in two matches and didn't take a wicket.
He went to South Africa in the subsequent series, but returned home with a hamstring injury without playing a match.
The probables also include fast bowler Mohammad Irfan, who is expected to return from a hip fracture which had sidelined him for nearly two months.
Pakistan won the World Twenty20 in 2009 by defeating Sri Lanka in the final at Lord's.
Mohammad Hafeez, Ahmed Shehzad, Sharjeel Khan, Shahzaib Hasan, Nasir Jamshaid, Khurram Manzoor, Shoaib Malik, Sohaib Maqsood, Umar Akmal, Harris Sohail, Yasir Arafat, Yasir Shah, Hammad Azam, Kamran Akmal, Shahid Afridi, Zohaib Ahmed, Sohail Tanvir, Mohammad Irfan, Umar Gul, Junaid Khan, Bilawal Bhatti, Anwar Ali, Asad Ali, Ehsan Adil, Mohammad Talha, Saeed Ajmal, Zulfiqar Babar, Raza Hasan, Abdul Rehman, Sarfraz Ahmed. – Sapa-AP

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
Basically that I did a review of it. Normally I don't do reviews for games that did get localizations into English, but in this case the only review we had for it was so awful that I felt obliged to weigh in on it.I couldn't quite make out what the story about Knight and Baby was (Guardian's Crusade in the US). I did enjoy that game immensely; it's a basic, lighthearted, and fun little RPG.
Yeah, for the most part they do work fairly well. It's mostly whenever there's a conversation between the MC and Chlotz, as they're the ones who most look like they're nodding along to some music and preparing to bust some moves. :Pjcservant said:I played the Conception II demo. It certainly is...interesting. I can definitely see it offending some people. There's definitely a lot of innuendos revolving around having children and relationships. There's nothing X rated about the graphics or how they handle it...the worse you see is two silloettes holding hands while bending over in somewhat suggestive poses. I agree that it looks MUCH better on the Vita than the 3DS (I played both demos). Man. I love that Vita screen. I know some people have complained about the way the still portraits of the characters move a bit as if they're breathing or something. It's similar to the effect I've seen in Vanillaware games. Personally, I think its fine and like it better than totally sill pics during chats.

What's Happening
People with Apple Pay and Mastercard can use public transport in London for free today. As Engadget reports, it's part of a promotion called "Fare Free Mondays." It will also run on December 7 and December 14, and includes buses, the Tube, the DLR, and trains.
German retail sales slumped again in October. Sales fell by 0.4% from the previous month, making it a full quarter of decline or flat readings. Analysts were expecting a 0.4% increase from September's figure. That leaves the index up by 2.1% year-on-year, the weakest figure since May.

Nowhere Else does Football Now Feature More Cowbell!
After a 36-year ban for being too noisy, Mississippi State's official noisemaker is back–before games, between quarters, during time-outs, after scores, and during possession changes. Chime in any other time, though, and the Bulldogs could get rung up for $5,000.

Romo has a lot more tds Farve has more yards- HE ALSO throws 50 times a game Romo doesn't.... so stats are inflated for Farve... both qbs are liable to make stupid throws... so this position is a wash... now factor in the injuries that the Packers sustained last night.... and this only improves Dallas' chance of dominating next Thursday.. where exactly were you thinking the Packers are "Better" at?

Good thing they had two theaters open for
Get the Gringo
the other night - so many VIPs at the red carpet event for the movie, they filled up the first one too quickly! I wound up in the second theater, and had to watch the post-film Q&A on the screen bein' broadcast from the second theater.
Decent enough movie, reminded me of
, where Mel Gibson was also playin' a bad guy but not the worst guy...
And some of it was filmed here in Texas, so yay! for that.
I did not get an autograph, but Mel Gibson did growl at me when I tried to get one. So, there's that...
Looks like Mel Gibson put his foot in his mouth again.

12. "Shame" (2011) A Michael Fassbender, Carey Mulligan. Directed By Steve McQueen. Fassbender plays a man struggling with a serious sex addiction. This film is dark, moody and slow in some places, but the fascinating thing about it is the character study of Fassbender's Brandon as he deals with his visiting sister Sissy (Mulligan) and continues to try and hide his addiction. Beautifully shot, written, and acted. Fassbender was truly outstanding and it is great to see him and Mulligan continue to become superstars. I'd see this for sure. You might lose patience with it if you don't like slow paced films, but try to stick with it!
I thought that Mulligan's singing ran a bit long.

My Union-Bulletin colleague, Rachel Alexander, and I decided to make a video survey of how Walla Wallans see the Affordable Care Act. With health insurance exchanges set to go live on Oct. 1, we thought it a good idea to help understand questions and concerns.
What we found Thursday afternoon in downtown Walla Walla surprised us.
Many people expressed much confusion about just what health care reform looks like and how it will affect them. Some were despairing of ever figuring things out.
We also discovered some people have deep feelings about a perceived loss of their rights as Americans.
A few people said they had not given the Affordable care Act a second thought.
Four people we surveyed had strong, informed opinions, but declined to put their thoughts on public view.
One thing is for certain, we're all on a learning curve about the new health care universe.

Dates of Project: 2008–2011
Field of Work: State-level health reform
Problem Synopsis: Massachusetts passed a comprehensive health care reform law in 2006 designed to move the state to near-universal insurance coverage. New York and Illinois approved more incremental health reform laws around the same time.
Synopsis of the Work: From 2008 to 2011, Urban Institute researchers analyzed the impact of state health reform efforts on residents' insurance coverage, access to and use of health care, and out-of-pocket health costs in Massachusetts, New York, and Illinois. The researchers tapped three national surveys for their analyses: the National Health Interview Survey, the Current Population Survey, and the American Community Survey.
Key Findings: Researchers dropped their analysis of Illinois because they found no significant changes in Illinois, and reviewers urged them to remove information on that state.
In an article in Health Services Research (2011) on Massachusetts and New York, the researchers found:
Based on those findings as well as others they published in other articles, the researchers concluded that comprehensive reform better addresses gaps in insurance coverage, access to care, and the use of care than narrower approaches. Given that national health reform incorporates many of the elements of the Massachusetts approach, the potential for significant gains in insurance coverage and access to and use of care is significant.

FULLERTON On one hand, no high-caliber baseball team enters the Hard9 National Classic to finish in third place. On the other hand, earning the bronze in what might be the most heralded baseball tournament in the country isn't too shabby.
Thanks to a tiebreaking, two-run hit off the bat of Brad Anderson, Esperanza (14-3) rebounded from a tough semifinals loss to El Toro with a 7-3 victory over IMG Academies of Bradenton, Fla., on Thursday afternoon at Cal State Fullerton.
"This entire tournament, every night, we got a taste of playoff baseball," Esperanza coach Mike Curran said. "Each night we played a playoff-caliber team, and that's what this tournament is all about, getting you ready for the postseason."
Aztecs starting pitcher Harrison Pyatt labored through the first three innings, allowing three runs on seven hits, but he retired six of the final seven batters he faced, including a 1-2-3 fifth to earn the victory.
Despite allowing a total of eight base runners, the sophomore right-hander complemented a pair of strikeouts with four groundouts and nine flyouts.
"Our defense has been able to get our pitchers out of jams all season," Curran said. "Hopefully we can keep it up. I think our pitchers realize that the defense is going to pick them up, so it allows them to throw strikes and pitch to contact."
Through the first 52/3 innings, Esperanza was just 1 for 11 with runners in scoring position, stranding seven runners in the process.
In the top of the sixth with two outs, Anderson — the Aztecs cleanup hitter — drove in two with a fly ball that landed in the outfield just behind the second baseman.
"It was just one of those 'excuse me' kind of hits," Curran said. "Just one of those plays. But we tell our guys to just give us contact because something like that can happen."
In addition to their seven hits, the Aztecs got seven walks and stole eight bases.

Okay so I desperately need drapery in my living room. I can't believe we've lived here over one year and still don't have drapery anywhere in the house.
At first I thought I'd just wait and install everything at the same time but that has caused all the windows to remain unhappily uncovered.
The biggest reason my living room is an emergency is because the sun is bleaching out my sunflower yellow sofa.
I have been in love with that first image (above) for a long time, when I showed Terreeia the picture, she said she's not a fan of puddling drapes. She knows I care way more than she does though, so she'll let me do it if that's what I think will look the best.
So now I'm waffling. What do you think my lovelies?
Tomorrow is the second week of Summer School on How to Specify Colour for Interiors. We will be doing a step-by-step on every paintable and unpaintable surface of your house. We'll also be talking about White. What makes white look cheap and when does white just just look plain wrong?
Sign up here and we'll send you last weeks recording and the homework. It's not too late to catch up!
Don't forget to weigh in on the puddling drapery. Yay or nay?

Here's a crucial lesson to be learned by all those new to PR and politics: If you see an opening, exploit it--and if your message resonates, don't be afraid to stick with it. President Obama has clearly taken this advice to heart; he hit "Late Night with David Letterman" last night... [FishbowlDC]

About Me
I am an Olweus Bullying Prevention Program Trainer. I have come to understand this to be my life's work. Also this has come to me: We will never be able to authentically keep kids safe from bullying in schools without first assuring that schools are led by true leaders. Sadly many in leadership positions are bullies themselves. So this is the first "order of business".

April Random Thoughts...
need to stop being such a night owl, now that I am back to working.
Hubby grilled the roast on the grill today for a bit. And tomorrow he will toss it in the crock pot to simmer all day.
Never had it done that way before, so I am wondering how good it will be.
I am really in a Pasta mood. So maybe I can talk him into that for Friday.
We are having our Easter dinner this weekend. We didn;t have one since we were on vacation during Easter break.

This is a rather unique post: it's a bit of a tear-jerker, but at the same time, it's gross. It's really gross. Like, if you're about to eat or have eaten recently, just go here for a while. We'll understand. If you're ready to press on, then… buckle up.
Jeff Kerr, the jack man (hush) for Martin Truex Jr.'s car in NASCAR, recently won $10,000 by posting the best individual jack time (I said HUSH) at the pit crew competition for the Sprint Cup Series. Every penny of that $10,000 went not to Kerr, but rather the family of four-year-old Preston Loyd. When you hear why, you might be tempted to pony up a bit as well.
Preston was badly injured in late April in a freak accident involving his grandfather and - brace yourself - a riding lawnmower. Oh, it gets worse. Preston had just run out the back door of the house to talk to his grandfather; his grandfather never even saw him as he backed the lawnmower over the young boy. The scene was horrific:
He lost all ribs on his left side, along with his stomach, spleen and left kidney. His liver was lacerated. His arm was cut badly. Preston was airlifted to Charlotte Medical Center, and upon arrival the trauma surgeon gave the boy less than a 50 percent chance of survival.
Along with that kind of damage, of course, comes an unbelievable amount of blood loss; this is the more immediate danger to a person's life in the case of such severe trauma.To that end, this horrific quote from Kevin Clark, a volunteer fireman who was the first at the scene:
"I went in and the grandfather was white, white. Preston was white, white, too," Clark said. "It was a terrible injury. In all my years of experience, a young child doesn't have that much blood. My opinion is he didn't have anything left in him."
Okay, enough with the horror stories. Somehow, through a 32-day coma, the young boy survived the ordeal; now comes the long, arduous, expensive task of healing. Fortunately, that's where Kerr stepped in. Kerr and his family attend the same church as the Loyds, so word spread quickly. Lo and behold, Kerr vowed to win the pit crew skills competition and donate the money. Lo and behold, that's exactly what he did.
Such generosity, along with (obviously) smaller gifts from fellow NASCAR members and charitable strangers, is helping the family along as Preston recovers. As for that recovery, "normal" is on a wholly different scale at this point; he's still got a mountain of rehab and plastic surgery in front of him, after all. But at the same time, he's making progress with cognitive recovery, and anyone with a relatively well-functioning brain and two good legs has a shot at a good, productive life.
