I am more excited to see Tina Turner than Beyonce...and I think Rihanna will look cute and be fun on stage. Amy Winehouse should not even perform satelitte! She is a drug addict and people should not jump thru hoops to find ways to show her performance...if she cared about her music she would put her health and voice first instead of drugs! I love her songs but i don't think she should be showcased at all!

I picked Amy Winehouse, but for not the reason provided. I just can't wait to see how much of a train wreck she is on American television. It's too bad she couldn't do it live.

Why worry about a little hair spray, hair dye or teeth whitening when purebred dog owners in the U.S. are still mutilating puppies by docking (cutting off) their tails and painfully cropping and then taping, for weeks, their sensitive ears?
True dog lovers should stand up to the AKC, which defends this cruelty as an "acceptable practice integral to defining and preserving breed character," like most of the rest of the countries in the world.
Research shows that dogs use their tails and ears to transmit social cues to other dogs such as fear, caution and playfulness. A tailless dog may not be able to communicate its mood and may even grow up to be antisocial or, worse, aggressive.

Sorry to hear you've had problems with the CL shutter. I've had my Leitz Minolta CL for over 15 years and use it fairly often and have never had a problem with it. I also like the way the strap fits on one end of the camera, so it's easy to slide it in a breast pocket and quickly pull it out to use. I've had 2 M3s, and an M2 and sold them cause I didn't enjoy using them that much. (go figure, right?) Beautiful cameras and lenses though. But I still have a prewar model III and a postwar model IIIc that I love very much. I just like the feel of them, and enjoy the results I get with the 50mm Summar lens I use the most. The pictures have glow and softness about them that I'm really fond of. (probably due to the lenses condition as much as anything else) Yeah, the film loading takes some getting used to, and the veiwfinders and rangefinders are kinda small but like one post said, easier doesn't always mean better. I guess like most things, we find the stuff that we like the best is because it fits our particular needs best.

Dallas Cowboys assistant director of player personnel Will McClay recently joined KTCK-AM 1310 to talk about the nuances of the NFL draft. Here are some of the highlights:
On if he's happy with how the draft went and the draft class:
McClay: "I'm happy with it. Now we get an opportunity to see if that feeling of elation is worth it — go out here and see what we're doing and compete against other teams. We're taking guys that have come from college programs, have been doing things that they're accustomed to for two, three, four years. Now we're putting them into a completely different environment. How are they going to react to that?"
On if the Cowboys would have taken Ohio State linebacker Ryan Shazier if the Steelers hadn't selected him one pick for theirs:
McClay: "We had set out a plan that he was one of the guys that we were looking for that could impact us defensively, and yes that was a direction that we could have gone in."
On how that one pick difference can affect the rest of the draft:
McClay: "It's that effect. The domino effect. When Aaron Donald went and then when (Anthony) Barr went, you have your plans and then it's the domino effect. And so if that thing would have altered just a little bit, when we go back and look at past drafts, we kind of look at, 'what if so-and-so would have taken so-and-so?' to have kind of an idea as to where things could fall and kind of strategize a little bit that way as well."
On if the Cowboys gave up too much by trading up for DeMarcus Lawrence, knowing that they needed that type of player:
McClay: "No I don't think we gave up too much, and it's an interesting conversation that we have when you talk about value of players and what you trade away and what you get; it's a commodity. Pass-rushing, defensive linemen, they're a very high commodity. And so the price that you pay for it — there's not very many of them — so you're going to pay a little bit more for something that there's not a lot of."
On if any of the five seventh-round draft picks have surprised him more than he expected:
McClay: "Yes I would say Terrance Mitchell, who we had decent grades on — the fourth, fifth round — and were surprised to see him there. And he missed the OTA because of the school session. When he came out, when he shows up at minicamp, he just makes plays. He's one of those guys that you see it on. A type likened to Jairus Byrd — the people that come from Oregon that have a feel for the game. And you saw that natural ability. He may not be a 4.3 corner, but he's 4.5 with great instincts that make him a 4.4-type player."

Eurosport - Tue, 27 Jul 15:35:00 2010
Liverpool manager Roy Hodgson has confirmed that midfielder Javier Mascherano wants to leave the club.
The Argentina captain has been the subject of intense speculation for much of the summer, which has escalated since former Reds boss Rafael Benitez left the club to take over at Internazionale.
Mascherano had not spoken with his new boss during his post-World Cup break, with Hodgson reduced to leaving several messages when he called him in Argentina.
However, after returning to training this week, Mascherano held talks with Hodgson and confirmed he wants to leave.
Hodgson said: "Yes, he wants to leave the club. He made that perfectly clear. I think he wanted to leave a year ago.
"He wants to leave now but he has a contract, and I expect him to honour that contract. I expect him to be a Liverpool player until the day the club chooses to accept an offer for him."
Mascherano has made 138 appearances for Liverpool since arriving from West Ham United in 2007.
Hodgson also revealed that he expects striker Fernando Torres to stay at the club. The Spain forward is due to return to training on Monday.
He said: "As far as I know he is looking forward to coming back here; he is back on Monday. He is enjoying a holiday - a well-deserved break as he has not had one for three years.
"He is spending a lot of time with his family, keeping a low profile and as far as I know he is not really speaking to anyone.
"But he has told us that he is looking forward to Monday, looking forward to getting back to work and looking forward to playing for Liverpool next season.
"That is what I know so other reports, I would suggest, are erroneous."
Club captain Steven Gerrard has already confirmed he will not be leaving the club.

"Neverland" gives fantasy twist to Peter Pan tale
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) – British writer and director Nick Willing has always been fascinated with the story of "Peter Pan," but it took decades before he summoned the courage to put his own version of the children's classic on screen.
Television movie "Neverland", making its U.S. debut on the Syfy cable channel on December 4 and 5, and on British-based Sky Movies on December 9, is a two-part prequel to the story of the boy who refuses to grow up, taking viewers from the grimy streets of 19th century London to a world of pure imagination.

GIANT-SIZE X-POSITION: Duggan Brings Deadpool & Cable Together in "Uncanny Avengers"
Comic Books
Passings | Andy Hutton, who drew the popular strip "The Q-Bikes" (which morphed briefly into "The Q-Karts") for the British comic The Beano, died last month at age 91. Born in Calcutta, Hutton moved as a teenager to Dundee, Scotland, where he began working for Beano publisher DC Thomson at age 14. He quit that job to train to be a pilot in the Royal Air Force, but poor eyesight kept him grounded much of the time. After World War II, he got an art degree and lived in Canada for a while, working in nuclear reactor construction, before returning in 1950 to Scotland. He was a Beano artist for 25 years, and his work included Red Rory of the Eagles, Jack Flash and The Kangaroo Kid; he also taught art in a local high school. [Down the Tubes]
With its glacial pacing, signature earnestness and freakishly out-of-scale wildlife, Mark Trail is a fairly easy target for mockery, but the 68-year-old comic strip does have its fans.
Cartoonist James Allen, who worked as Jack Elrod's assistant for nearly a decade, thought he had a pretty good idea of what those fans wanted: the occasional window into Mark's family life (with a giant dog or goldfish, perhaps?). So after he taking over the daily strip in April, he set the khaki-clad adventurer on a course to spend a little time with long-neglected wife Cherry and son Rusty. Boy, was that so not what fans wanted.
After receiving several letters from "annoyed" readers, the Sun Journal of Lewiston, Maine, contacted Allen, who explained:
Manga | In Japan, as elsewhere, people would rather read about farming than actually do it; agriculture has become a popular topic for manga, and the Agriculture Ministry recently announced an award for manga that raise interest in farming.

Brilliant invention, no more uneven slices. Very good if you make your own bread
16 July 2015
I love this gadget. I make my own bread in the small Lakeland Breadmaker (fantastic!) and while I like thick slices when the bread is nice and fresh, I have to have thinner slices to fit in the toaster. This makes getting the perfect slice so easy, and also makes for less mess as the crumbs all catch in the bottom. Initially, the 'snap' closure would not work however, after a phone call from a Lakeland adviser who called in response to my initial review, a new Evenslice was sent out!
Thanks for the useful feedback. I'm sorry to hear of the small fault that yours has, I'll be in touch shortly to help.
17 June 2014
Must have been designed by a woman!! Straightforward to use and clean and works everytime. No longer have differing thicknesses or waste. Perfect for me as I run a B&B and slice alot of bread, thank you to the inventor.
If at any time, or for any reason, you're not completely happy with your purchase(s), we'll give you a full refund with no fuss, no time limit and with free return postage. It's all part of the Lakeland guarantee

You guys are implying that BF2 was terrible without its mods. :P
Seems the game is too complex for us modders, and so mod tools will be missing from the PC release of BF3.
Posted by INtense! on Jul 5th, 2011
Battlefield has had a proud history on ModDB with mods including Project Reality, Forgotten Hope 2, First Strike and others dominating our annual mod of the year awards. Despite this, news has just come out (and confirmed our fears) that Battlefield 3 will not include mod tools, and instead EA are looking at other ways to "appease" the modding community. DICE executive Patrick Soderlund speaking to German Gamestar magazine (via Battlefieldo) confirmed this in the video below:
When asked about modding, Patrick said:
Quote:It's going to be very difficult for people to mod the game, because of the nature of the set up of levels, of the destruction and all those things… it's quite tricky. So we think it's going to be too big of a challenge for people to make a mod.
Earlier in an interview with Game Informer Patrick was uncertain how modding would look for BF2. Given this was over 4 months ago and no decision has been made since then, it sounds like even basic tools maybe some way off (assuming they are in the pipeline to be made at all):
Quote:We will not deliver mod tools in the way that we delivered them for Battlefield 2 ... Creating mod tools today - dumbing them down - takes a lot of energy and what we are discussing more every day is, 'Where do we put our focus?' ... Right now our focus is to create the best possible multiplayer, single-player, and co-op game -- the core game of Battlefield 3," he added. "We're still discussing how we handle modifications of any kind.
This news follows in the footsteps of CoD: MW2 who also shunned the mod community despite a lot of success and great ideas coming from CoD 4 modders. Hopefully they will realize their mistake and do a backflip, as CoD did with Black Ops bringing back mod support.
After all to back up their claim of BF2 been a PC first, consoles second game - it is critical that they put their weight behind the PC community and enable them to unleash their modding creativity on the game.
You guys are implying that BF2 was terrible without its mods. :P
it wasn't terrible its just that without mods games die faster
which is exactly what publishers want, from a business standpoint mods are a very bad idea. it extends the shelf life of games and the publisher sells fewer of them. This is nothing but a marketing decision made several years ago that no mods and more games/expansions/dlc was a good thing for business
On the contrary actually, most companies support mods, which is why they release official SDKs or some other.
It does extend the shelf life of the game, meaning that it gets more publicity. Which in turn means that even after x game has been out for 3 years, certain y mod could make people want to buy the game, so they go out and get it. Mods pretty much equal profit to game companies.
DICE just dropped the ball this time imo.
Sure mods will get people to buy the game later on, but industry giants like EA could don't care if 10 people buy their game 3 years after launch. What they care about is huge hordes of people all buying at once shortly after release. That's the only indicator of a successful game as far as companies like EA are concerned. Mods can also cut into the profits from paid DLC, since I mean, how many are going to pay $15 for a pack of 5 maps when you could get hundreds of new maps for the price of an internet connection which you've already paid for anyway since it was needed to play the game in the first place?
Unless DLC comes 6-7 YEARS after the main game...that's just a BS tinfoil-hat accusation.
Mods certainly were the reason I kept w/ that game for 5+ years!
I dont ******* even want to hear DICE developers or squeaky voiced people talk anymore
does anyone else know what is in the static throughout the interview. i was able to stop one and saw a mig flying through the air but i cant seem to be able to stop it any other time.
Petition for it to be released. Or boycott their game lol
**** off, DICE. We can handle anything you can.
No you can't, or you wouldn't be here. You'd be at DICE.
I find it funny what is the bet that some modder's will mod it?
"Engines do seem to get more and more taxing as the years go by."
as opposed to developers seem to get more and more greedy or lazy?
call me cynical, but the latter explanations makes more sense to me.
if you create a game, don't give me crap about not being able to release a version of the tools you used to create it.
And/Or computers get more and more powerful, too...
Just a way so thay can make crap DLC's and not worry about mods
Well this is rather disappointing but I'm still going to get BF3( Along with RO2 ). I don't think BC2 will get tools but there are still a ton of people playing it, so that might also suggest that BF3 will still have players with or without mods. However "We're still discussing how we handle modifications of any kind." seems interesting and might mean that they will release a SDK eventually.
DICE will burn for this.
No they won't. No one's that much of a man to do anything about it.
Sarcasm: There's logical reasoning. Lets all go burn down a developer who's been loving to the mod community, rather than say -- Lucas Arts or Activision, who rarely, if at all, have shown a great care for modders.
No! Fanboy rage modders must do something because they can't mod one out of THOUSANDS of games OH NO!!!!!!!!!
People stop being such babies and whining oh well enjoy the fucken game and maybe they will release a SDK
Woohoo! I want to thank you for crediting BATTLEFIELDO.com as your source. In addition to being a Source modder I am also a founder and admin of that site, and although we broke the news about this yesterday very few of the sites who have clearly reposted the news based on ours (quoting our transcript of the interview etc) bothered to source us... hooray for journalistic integrity!
Weather this decision is EA's or DICE's, they really underestimate their consumers. I hope this is EA's doing, I wish to think that DICE wouldn't do something like this.
If their tools are so complex, why don't they let modders be the judge of that? Don't spend time "dumbing it down", just put it out there and see what people are capable of.
Why are people complaining about MODDDERS complaining there will be no MODDING tool? Of course we are disappointed. Sure, the engines are becoming complex, but for D.I.C.E. to use the excuse that it is TOO complex is saying that all of their employees either were never modders (hard to believe) or that they are somehow far superior to all of the modders out there. Crytek just released theirs, and I am sure that the engine for BF3 is better than Cryengine2. Sad when elites look down on the humble modder. Remember from whence you have come or you shall fall from your ivory tower...
hmm is this that series of games where a picket fence stops tanks dead ?
This is idiotic. How arrogant do you have to be to make the blanket statement, "We have determined our technology too advanced for all modders, only our people are skilled enough to use this new engine"? If you don't want to release your technology with the game for business reasons then don't, but please don't make stupid, unproven, and quite frankly condescending statements to justify your decisions.
The studio version of any set of design tools doesn't primarily have an accessible UI for the average modder. Better for them to wait a month or two after the game releases so they can ensure necessary patches can get out and then form an SDK then release the studio development kit to the public.
Lmao ... wow ... "tools too complex" that's the lamest excuse i've ever seen. Just wow.
.... Not cool.
"too complex"
That didn't stop Crytek with the CryEngine 3.
Get out DICE...
Hopefully later on DICE wakes up and realizes their grave mistake. (SOON PLZ :l)
curse you dice! curse you, we are not dumb, hell we make mods that are better then the game it's self, that's the reason why they are scared that we will over take them
On a side note, they obviously know that there are more talented people in the mod community than that of there own team producing the game, so its quite a reckless excuse for them to say such a thing. I mean, we have extremely skilled programmers and modelers on this site, now that I think about it more I'm quite insulted :\
They shoud let people decide what's too challenging and what's not.
Think of the potential mods that could have come out of this great engine! but with no modding tools... its lost.
They should have anticipated people wanting to mod it, this is really lame. They said the SAME thing for Bad Company, they promised PC users alot, while the PS3 and the 360 got updates and patches weekly, the PC got left in the dust.
DICE needs to get their act together and listen to what the community wants.
******* ********, I'm really ******* disappointed.
I am one of the few who are huge fans of BF2 but are not getting BF3. For several reasons. First off they are planning a LOT of priced DLC. Which will likely impact the availability of servers to non-DLC buyers down the road. Another reason, no mod support. And lastly, reloading doesn't drop ammo clips X(.
Great looking game, have a PC that will probably handle it maxed, might change my mind when it drops to 20 dollars. For now it seems they are more interested in commercial success. Which isn't bad, but there are a few of us who lose interest when companies make decisions like these.
Make me sad but as someone said, Crytek did it with an engine that's just as complex in terms of performance. Damnit, this is why EA shouldn't be allowed to control what goes into their subsidiary's games.
You need to calm down
Am I doing it right, guys?
Makes no difference to me, if I can run it with max/high settings I'll buy it!
DICE-Youre dead to me
From what I've read about the Frostbite engine this isn't because they think it's too complex, but because they can't allow mods without releasing the same tools required to develop the game, and they aren't going to release those. I've read horror stories about maps taking a week and 80gb of memory space just to compile.
Here's the article if anyone's interested.
(Yes, it refers to BF:BC2, but it talks about BF3 and I doubt they would remake the engine starting with BF2.)
Everyone listen to this man!
In all honesty it's either they offend you or your bitch that you can't use the tools properly. Obviously DICE chose the former. Even so it's not that you're too stupid it's just that you'd need to have your own NASA computer and a **** load of free time to make a single map.
Jokerme also makes an excellent point too.
I'm sure it's not just "too complex tools". Developers usually use lots of out of the box ways to create levels.
In Source case, it's mostly understandable, but even a couple of unexplained things ruin the SDK. People start complaining it's not working. They work for developers. It needs source code to do some things.
Games are not that old build boxes apply textures kinda games anymore. Big engines like UE3 are specialized on easy access, but in company engines like these usually are not really usable. Making them usable requires a lot of extra effort.
So I'm not judging this decision. Don't go "Ooh, are we so dumb for you?" over this. Because yes, most people are. It doesn't worth it.
Black Ops > Battlefield 3.

Cyberattacks against U.S businesses – including the public sector – are increasing in frequency and cost, with incidents growing by 42 percent in just the past year, according to a new study.
In a field study of 56 U.S. organizations, cyber crime cost companies an average of $8.9 million per year for an average of 1.8 successful attacks per company per week. The study, conducted by the Ponemon Institute and sponsored by HP Enterprise Security, also showed a lack of proactive security as being a major cause.
"The numbers suggest the problem is more expensive and is getting worse," said Larry Ponemon, chairman and founder of the Ponemon Institute. "We see organizations getting burned pretty seriously, and then decide to buy appropriate solutions. It's a shaky security strategy."
The costliest attacks involved denial of service, malicious insiders and web-based attacks, which account for 58 percent of cyber crime costs annually, the study noted. Also highly expensive for affected organizations: resolution time and expense, which has increased from an average of 18 days and $415,748 last year to 24 days and $591,780 this year.
In most cases the public- and private-sector organizations in the study had similar dynamics, although Ponemon noted that the government lagged in some areas, including in the sophistication of defenses and in the time it took to clean up after an attack.
"Government and private-sector attacks were similar, and detection and resolution were similar," Ponemon said. "In general, the government is behind commercial organizations in the adoption of the most sophisticated technologies, and there were more governance snafus where it was unclear who the responsible parties were for responding to attacks. But you see that in any large organization that has serious bureaucracy."
Varun Kohli, director of product marketing at HP Enterprise Security, pointed out there also are differences in what drives computer assaults on the public versus private sector.
"The motivation is different between government and commercial organizations. It depends on key motivators – what an organization did, what they do on a daily basis and what they plan to do," Kohli said. "For example, the Justice Department makes policies. If hacktivists don't like the policies, they'll go after the government organization. [In the private sector], it can depend on what they plan to do – everyone wants a peek into the future to see what they're working on."
In terms of the sectors most affected by cyber-crime, the defense industry was at the top of the list, followed by utilities and energy and the financial sector.
Additionally, from an international perspective, the U.S. underwent significantly higher incidents of cyber crime: Behind the U.S. companies' average $8.9 million in associated costs annually, the next-highest was Germany at nearly $6 million, Japan at $5.2 million, Australia at $3.4 million and the UK at less than $3.3 million.
"The U.S. is far more likely to deal with theft of information or intellectual property than Australia or the UK," Ponemon said. "It's possible U.S. companies have a bigger bulls-eye on our back, which is scary."
Nonetheless, the report was not all bad news, Ponemon and Kohli pointed out. The study showed that some security measures – in particular, specific enterprise security governance activities – had significant impact on cost savings.
"Companies obtaining sufficient budgeted resources enjoy an average cost savings of $2.2 million. On average, companies appointing a high-level security leader experience cost savings of $1.8 million," the report noted.
According to Kohli, deploying security intelligence systems is critical in moderating the costs of cyber crime and save an average of $1.6 million; also key is the implementation of strong security posture that includes the use of a metric known as the security effectiveness score. In addition, the institution of enterprise-wide security governance practices is important and can save companies more than $1 million, according to the study.
"Surprisingly, some of the biggest organizations are not using appropriate security technologies and are ignoring the problem until they get attacked and are in the news; then they go from one security guy to a full-fledged operations center," Kohli said.

This hotel had a very clean and contemporary look as it was recently built. Room sizes are a little smaller than average but not cramped. The amenities included in the nightly rate such as free internet and brakfast were also very appreciated and provide a lot of value compared to some other higher rated hotels in the same area. The only minuses regrading the room was a lack of sitting chair for the desk and fluctuating water temperature in the shower which made it a little uncomfortable. Otherwise, everything was great! ...

2And the woman conceived and bore a son. And she saw that he was a lovely child, and she hid him three months.
3And when she could hide him no longer, she took an ark of wicker for him, and coated it with tar and pitch, and put the child in it, and laid it in the reeds by the edge of the river.
4And his sister stood at a distance, to know what would be done to him.
5And the daughter of Pharaoh came down to wash herself at the river, and her young women were walking by the river-side. And when she saw the ark among the reeds, she sent her female servant to get it,
6and opened it and saw the child, and see, the baby wept. So she had compassion on him, and said, "This is one of the children of the Heḇrews."
7And his sister said to Pharaoh's daughter, "Shall I go and call a nurse for you from the Heḇrew women to nurse the child for you?"
8And Pharaoh's daughter said to her, "Go." And the girl went and called the child's mother.
9And Pharaoh's daughter said to her, "Take this child away and nurse him for me, then I shall pay your wages." So the woman took the child and nursed him.
10And the child grew, and she brought him to Pharaoh's daughter, and he became her son. And she called his name Mosheh, saying, "Because I have drawn him out of the water."
11And in those days it came to be, when Mosheh was grown, that he went out to his brothers and looked at their burdens. And he saw a Mitsrite beating a Heḇrew, one of his brothers.
12So he turned this way and that way, and when he saw no one, he smote the Mitsrite and hid him in the sand.
13And he went out the second day and saw two Heḇrew men fighting, and he said to the one who did the wrong, "Why do you smite your neighbour?"
14And he said, "Who made you a head and a judge over us? Do you intend to slay me as you slew the Mitsrite?" And Mosheh feared and said, "Truly, the matter is known!"
15And Pharaoh heard of this matter, and he sought to kill Mosheh. But Mosheh fled from the face of Pharaoh and dwelt in the land of Miḏyan. And he sat down by a well.
16And the priest of Miḏyan had seven daughters. And they came and drew water, and they filled the troughs to water their father's flock,
17but the shepherds came and drove them away. Then Mosheh stood up and came to their rescue, and watered their flock.
18And they came to Re'uw'ĕl their father, and he said, "How is it that you have come so soon today?"
19And they said, "A Mitsrite rescued us from the hand of the shepherds, and he also drew enough water for us and watered the flock."
20And he said to his daughters, "And where is he? Why did you leave the man? Call him and let him eat bread."
21And Mosheh agreed to dwell with the man, and he gave Tsipporah his daughter to Mosheh.
22And she bore him a son, and he called his name Gĕreshom, for he said, "I have become a sojourner in a foreign land."
23And it came to be after these many days that the sovereign of Mitsrayim died. And the children of Yisra'ĕl groaned because of the slavery, and they cried out. And their cry came up to Elohim because of the slavery.
24And Elohim heard their groaning, and Elohim remembered His covenant with Aḇraham, with Yitsḥaq, and with Ya'aqoḇ.
25And Elohim looked on the children of Yisra'ĕl, and Elohim knew!

March 7th through the 13th was National Sleep Awareness Week. As busy college students, we tend to neglect sleep. After all, we have so much to get done in a day that sleep is usually put on the back burner. People who sleep poorly are significantly more likely to develop mental illness, such as depression and anxiety, and are more susceptible to have changes in mood and stress levels. For our mental, physical, social, and emotional wellbeing, it is important that we are all getting the... Read More

This was a 60th surprise birthday cake for my dad that was held at my home. I incorporated ideas from different cakes into a special cake just for dad as he loves his coffee and ice cream. Many of his friends were surprised that I made it for him. Everyone loved it and I did too. It is bc w/ fondant ring, handle and steam. Had a hard time with the handle staying even with toothpicks, but it still worked out.
