* By themselves, individual people may be quite intelligent and capable of making rational, informed decisions. A group of people can be surprisingly easy to [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_hysteria fool]] or [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mob_psychology manipulate]] by comparison.

* This trope may be averted in RealLife conflicts by the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lanchester%27s_laws Lanchester's laws]]. with the important proviso that when ''all other things are equal,'' the numerically inferior side will suffer both numerically and proportionally greater losses than the numerically superior side... but things seldom are equal in RealLife - that is why quality can and often does prevail over quantity.
* Aerial warfare. Only a little difference in quality - most importantly pilot training or tactics - can tip the scales on the side of quality against the quantity, resulting in ConservationOfNinjutsu. The most extreme example of this must be that over Karelian Isthmus 28. June 1944. AcePilot Hans Wind (75 victories) and {{Wingman}} Nils Katajainen (36 victories) attacking ''twosome'' a formation of 100 enemy planes and scattering it. (Both pilots survived the encounter).
* This trope is sometimes combined with PlotTailoredToTheParty. Multiple characters who attack a specific enemy may get their asses handed to them not necessarily because they're weak but because they're not the suited ''people'' to fight that specific foe. A token enemy can easily overwhelm a group of heroes, but a one-on-one will be much harder fight.
* When [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PgKg0Hc7YIA 3 expert fencers take on 50 novice fencers]], this trope seems to be in effect in that the expert fencers had great success even though outnumbered, until the the number of novice fencers dwindled and they suddenly became much more capable. Eventually, it is [[spoiler:the novices]] who win.

Seducing Hollywood
Jack Markowitz missed several key components in his column claiming that Pennsylvania taxpayers are footing the bill for film production in the state ("Filmmakers' tax saving costs Pa. residents," Dec. 16 and PghTrib.com).
Creativity in Focus: The Pennsylvania Film Production Tax Credit Initiative was initially created by the state to attract film production to Pennsylvania through a grant program. A $10 million pool of funds was established to subsidize production.
In July 2007, this program was converted to a tax credit-based program with an annual program cap of $75 million. Film productions receive 25 percent of their budget back in the form of tax credits that the producers can "sell" to tax-credit brokers to receive cash.
In essence, the program attracts $300 million in film production by offering $75 million in tax credits. This is a very common activity and there are numerous other industries that have similar programs in Pennsylvania.
What Mr. Markowitz does not pass along is the subtle point that film companies do not receive these tax credits unless they first spend the money in Pennsylvania. …

First Period -- Tempted, But The Truth Discovered
Columbus Blue Jackets defenseman Bryan Berard was suspended from international competition for two years after testing positive for the steroid 19-norandrosterone. The Nov. 12 test was performed on a sample Berard supplied after being named by USA Hockey as a potential player in February's Torino Olympics.
Berard said his positive steroid test was the result of a supplement he took while preparing for this season. Another test taken within the last month showed no banned substances.
Late last year, NHL commissioner Gary Bettman ridiculed the suggestion by Dick Pound, president of the World Anti-Doping Agency, that up to a third of approximately 700 NHL players took some kind of performance-enhancing drugs.
Pound may be a headline seeker, but 700 divided by three is 233. And 233 divided by 30 is about eight players. If you consider 19-norandrosterone and oh, let's say, amphetamines, would you be shocked if eight players on each team were taking performance-enhancing drugs?
Amphetamines are a central nervous system stimulant. They speed up the messages going to and from the brain and body. Their effect is similar to that of adrenaline, which is naturally produced by the body. Even though amphetamines mimic the effects of adrenaline, they last a much longer time in the body. If Player A is playing his fourth game in five nights after flying from Edmonton to Ft. Lauderdale, he might need a little pick me up.
I talked with a former player over the weekend. He told me that although he never saw steroids being used in NHL locker rooms, he said he was convinced some players were using them, after seeing those players come back and fly around the ice months after knee surgery.
Steroids help the body heal quicker, and what sport is more demanding than hockey? In terms of cardiovascular exertion, physical contact, number of games and travel, hockey players are prime candidates to benefit from performance enhancing drugs. The competitor who hates to lose or is chasing history. The soon-to-be free agent who is looking for his last big financial strike. The injury-prone player who just can't seem to get that pain out of his knee. They all are tempted.
Second Period -- Eight is Enough
There was an episode of "Family Guy" in which Peter was sent to a camp by his wife Lois to work on his sensitive side. He returned from the camp too sensitive and too soft for her taste, and Lois longed for the old, insensitive Peter to return after their love life had suddenly stopped. She couldn't take it anymore.
Finally, the old Peter returned, and so did their love life. After they reignited their dormant physical expression, Peter asked Lois to go get him a beer. She began talking about how great it was to have the old Peter back. Peter, thinking only of his ice cold beer, then said to Lois, "Lois, too much talky ... not enough fetchy." It's become my favorite line of 2006 so far.
Hockey fans have their own line: "Too much talky, not enough Ovechy."
Alexander Ovechkin's goal (you know the one) against the Phoenix Coyotes last week is, in my mind, the greatest goal in NHL history. There has never been a goal like that in the history of the game. When you consider how fast Ovechkin was moving, how he was sliding, his feel for the puck, his quick thinking to take his left wrist off the stick so he could hinge his right wrist enough to send the puck on its intended line like a Roger Federer backhand winner; the overall core and forearm strength to get enough of the puck to send it the required distance, not to mention the will he had coursing through his veins to do all of that with care, concentration and effort. Well, there has never been a goal like that.
And, you know what? There are more coming. With the helmet, the face shield, the equipment and the training, players are more fearless than ever. Ovechkin attacks the net like Pittsburgh Steelers safety Troy Polamalu attacks running backs. Ovechkin and his generation are giving the NHL a catalog of breathtaking goals never before seen.
When was the last time you saw something original on a basketball court, something we haven't seen 100 times before? Or while watching an NFL game? Goal scoring in the NHL and defense in Major League Baseball have never been this athletic. ESPN started the ESPYs because of goals like Alexander the Eight's.
There will likely not be a more incredible individual, athletic play all year. And it's because it wasn't luck, wasn't a fluke. It was an incredible athlete using his brawn, brain and will to do the unthinkable. He knew where he was and what he was doing every tenth of a second. Watch it again, slow it down and you can see Ovechkin's brain at work every step of the way. OK, I know, too much talky, not enough Ovechy.
Third Period -- Proud as a Peteborough Peacock
Watching a CBC or TSN broadcast of a hockey game is always a simple joy for a hockey fan. Clear camera angles, few tricks and good announcing. Here in the United States, the game has struggled to find national footing because, as we've said before, it takes effort and sacrifice just to get to the rink, and not enough people have felt the matchless joy of skating and shinny.
So, American broadcasting companies have resorted to tricks in an attempt to attract viewers. Gadgets instead of smart, well thought out decisions. As a result, hockey is covered with a thick layer of makeup, concealing the natural beauty of the game.
Although the cable leg of the NHL deal is clearly struggling and trying to find its way, I think NBC is off to a great start. In fact, the NHL has never looked or sounded better in its free, on-the-air, history. That's right. Ever.
I've always enjoyed NBC Sports. It has always seemed to have a livelier, lighter feel than its counterparts. Where the others seem stuffy, NBC comes off with youthful enthusiasm. Being in third place for all of those years when it was starting out must have instilled a hunger and spirit that still exists, despite some of its enormous network success stories.
The camera angles for NBC's NHL coverage are simple and clear. You can see everything and the director is not cut-happy, changing camera angles midstream. The game is too fast for that. The camera is at perfect zoom length. Not too close, not too far. The top line "score bug," as we call it in TV land, is on top of the screen and not the bottom. Sleek and unobtrusive.
The announcers are outstanding. Mike Emrick, John Davidson and Pierre McGuire are the smartest announcing trio in all of sports. No one provides a better discussion of hockey and the game than those three. NBC Sports president Dick Ebersol should hire the trio to do NFL games next fall.
With NBC's commitment to promoting the Olympics, the bright, young stars entering the league and the fact the NHL is becoming increasingly more American, the league has never had a better chance to achieve moderate success on a national level. Perhaps more of a younger, hip and humorous feel at times is all that is needed to stand out amid the white noise of TV Land. But so far, so good for NBC.
The Mother of All Mailbags
Yes or no. Claude Lemieux. Our Fantasy Hockey League Commissioner, who just happens to be named Mike Kitchen, assures all who will listen he is a lock for the Hockey Hall of Fame. I say he's 70/30 at best.
Dean La Douceur
Troy, Mich.
Claude Lemieux. 1,197 games, 379 goals, 785 points. A goal every 3.2 games. 80 playoff goals in 233 games. A playoff goal every 2.9 playoff games. I love when a player's numbers are better in the postseason. For me, that is a big deal. One 40-plus goal season. Five seasons of 30-plus goals. Not great. Four Stanley Cup rings. Conn Smythe winner in 1994-95 for the Devils. Played so hard in his 20s with his collision-style hockey, he had little left in his 30s and burned out.
If you believe the Hall of Fame is for offensive ELITE players, Lemieux is not a Hall of Famer. If you believe, as I do, that the Hall of Fame should be a tapestry of all threads of the great game, and it is nobler to burn out than to fade away, Lemieux is a strong Hall of Fame candidate. He played hard, he played nasty, he did not relent, and in the most important part of the season, he was very good. He had Patrick Roy in Montreal and Colorado and Martin Brodeur in New Jersey in the prime of his career. That will give many players many playoff opportunities. A lock? No way. He was fortunate to play on very good teams with great goaltending. But he shined in the pressure cooker of Montreal as a young man. He helped New Jersey develop into a championship team and made Denver one of the NHL's best U.S. markets with 18 goals in his first 36 Avalanche playoff games. It will take some time, and many similar players like Pat Verbeek are right there with him, but over time, I think Claude will get in.
Mr. Buccigross,
Tim Panaccio, the Flyers' beat writer, is commending Clarkie on the move. What do you think? Is Petr Nedved going to regain some offensive touch in Philly?
West Chester, Pa.
Tim Panaccio is one of the best hockey writers in the U.S. and a future Hall of Famer himself. I would adhere to most of his opinions. Nedved just turned 34, but he has the kind of body that usually ages well. He's tall (6-foot-3) and flows like Scott Niedermayer. He can play center or wing. He's been a pretty durable player over his career because of his body type and because he doesn't mix it up much. Nedved hasn't played on many top-level teams, which means he's received a lot of attention. On the Flyers, that won't be the case. He should have room to move on the second or third line and be a very effective player. Don't expect Reggie Leach here. In his last 107 NHL games, Nedved has 21 goals. But this is the best team he has played on since the 1995-96 Penguins that had Lemieux, Jagr, Francis, Zubov and Chris Tamer.
Hey John,
You know we have low expectations when we commend an adult for not being an idiot. That being said, I'd like to commend Bryan Berard for not being an idiot after he was caught being an idiot by taking steroids. What a contrast he is to the baseball players concocting ludicrous scenarios to explain their positive tests. He accepted the consequences like adults should. Hopefully, he participates in some antisteroid programs directed at teens and what not.
Amherst, Mass.
Hi John,
I know you've repeatedly stated that the Boston Bruins will not make the playoffs. However, after posting an OT win against Anaheim and downing Philly 5-2 (sans Forsberg), do you see any hope for this team? At what point does management pack it in for the season and unload players like Murray? Do you believe there is a specific number of points out of the eighth spot where they consider themselves out of the race?
Matt Geoffrey
The Bruins are eight points out of the eighth spot, but the eighth-place team is Atlanta. The seventh-place team is Tampa Bay. The B's are 11 points back of New Jersey with 35 games left. That's probably the Bruins' best hope to make the playoffs, replacing New Jersey in the top 8. I don't see that happening. The Devils will win almost all of the games they are supposed to win because their system is so airtight. The Devils have four games against the Islanders and four games against the Penguins, that's 24 percent of their remaining games. The Bruins are not awful. They likely will finish between ninth and 11th in the East.
They are building a decent corps of defensemen who move well. They are just not managed with a fire and a vision that an NHL team has to have. They should name Ray Bourque as team president and give the team a fresh start with a person who knows what it takes to win on the ice. It's time for Harry Sinden to step aside as president. I would hire Wisconsin head coach Mike Eaves as coach, keep Mike Sullivan as an assistant and bring in the Devils' director of scouting David Conte as general manager. The Bruins have become stale. They need an infusion of passion, an infusion of people who love the NHL with every fiber and who are looking to prove themselves.
If anyone does not name Alexander Ovechkin to win the Calder, it will be an injustice. He alone is worth the money for Center Ice. He is worth the price of admission for any game the Caps are playing. What an immense combination of passion, hockey sense, size and skill. Thanks for the name suggestion for my future granddaughter. Rose Dosenbach has a nice ring to it.
Jim Parnell
Hollister, Calif.
Alexander Ovechkin may score 60 this year. He has nudged himself past Crosby in their race, but don't forget Henrik Lundqvist in New York. He has my vote for the Vezina right now. He has changed the culture in New York and he has a .821 save percentage in shootouts, stopping 23 of 28 shootout shots. If I had a goalie to make a shootout save to win me a new Mercedes, I would take Martin Brodeur first and Lundqvist second.
I was wondering what your take is on the Pens' future in Pittsburgh. Do you think they'll find a way to keep the team in Pittsburgh? Just the thought of not having them in Pittsburgh makes me sick. Kansas City Penguins just doesn't sound right. There's been some effort to find ways to keep them in the city, but nobody seems to be very adamant about it. I would think the Penguins organization, the city of Pittsburgh and the NHL would be doing anything possible to keep them there. They're part of the city and league's history and tradition. It would be a shame for the sport and city of Pittsburgh if they leave.
Eric Shedlock
Bedford, Pa.
I was born in Pittsburgh and certainly would like my hometown to stay as major league as possible. I'm not surprised the NHL is not more vocal. The NHL wanted the Whalers to leave Hartford to increase their national TV blanket. I don't think the NHL would mind if the Penguins left. Population in Pittsburgh and Allegheny County peaked in the 1950 and has dropped since.
Houston is the fourth largest city in the U.S. and growing. Kansas City is bigger than Pittsburgh and is not losing population. Las Vegas is bigger than KC and Pittsburgh and growing. Winnipeg is much bigger than Pittsburgh, and its population has slowly grown.
Hockey in Canada is as sizzling as the NFL in the United States. The population in the United States is moving south and west. Long term, it probably makes sense to the NHL to leave Pittsburgh, and it may make more sense to Pittsburgh and Allegheny County to use whatever money the Penguins would use, slots or no slots, for other services. I don't know. But I do know Mario Lemieux no longer having a sweater to call his own would be sad.
As a huge Blue Jackets fan, I am being treated to another miserable losing season. With all of the recent additions, most notably, Adam Foote and Sergei Fedorov, I really thought we could at least make a run at the playoffs this year. I know it takes a while to build a winning franchise from scratch, but a lot of teams are winning with a lot less overall talent.
The Jackets recent success, although possibly short-lived, leads me to one question: Are they really a terrible team, or are they just not playing to the potential that they are hyped up to have?
Rory King
The Blue Jackets are not horrible. They have tried to give their great fans a good team. I think they have been too impatient, but they have been shellacked by injuries this year. I watched the Blue Jackets beat the Panthers in person two Saturdays ago and they play hard. Fedorov played real hard and Rick Nash is a beast, but they have no scoring depth and no defensive presence. They do have four wins this month as I type this, but three of those wins are against Pittsburgh, St. Louis and Florida. Go look at the Blue Jackets' schedule the next few weeks. It's brutal. Their next breather of a game is March 7! A dirty dozen of games that could bury the Jackets. Until Columbus puts a stretch of wins together against good teams on the road, they can't be taken seriously.
Hi John,
I read somewhere that Jeremy Roenick said he and Mike Modano were the best two American players of all-time. Just wondering what your top five list is and feel free to include Rick DiPietro and Chris Drury (two guys you overrate as badly as we Canadians overrate Shane Doan).
Here's my list:
1) Mike Modano
2) Pat LaFontaine
3) Chris Chelios
4) Jeremy Roenick
5) Jason Bonsignore
Anyway, enjoy your work and hope to see you on the Satellite Hot Stove again.
Steve Lemieux
Chris Drury has won at every level of every sport he has played -- a Little League World Series, Pee Wee National Championship, Prep School Championship, an NCAA National Championship, a Hobey Baker, an NHL Calder Trophy and a Stanley Cup. He kills penalties, scores power-play goals and wins faceoffs. He scores more in the postseason than the regular season. He is an overtime playoff legend. It is impossible to overrate Chris Drury. Comparing Shane Doan to Chris Drury is like comparing Smash Mouth to REM.
Quick question, why are the Devils having so much trouble finding a coach?
Dave, Oklahoma City
Lou Lamoriello is trying to get the Devils back on the rails, and they are now there. I imagine he could make the move any day now. Part of it may be evaluating whether or not John MacLean is ready to be an NHL head coach. No better place to evaluate MacLean than to stand next to him during games and get an idea of how he thinks under pressure and how much of a presence he has on the bench. The Devils are capped out, so there isn't much Lamoriello can do anyway. I would be surprised if he stays behind the bench the rest of the season. I think he might take it to the Olympic break and then either give the job to MacLean or find someone else. If he is having fun, though, he will stay. The Devils are a successful franchise for many reasons. But, in my mind, the biggest reason is that Lamoriello is infatuated and unconditionally in love with hockey and the Devils. It's like a child to him -- treasured, nurtured and given undivided and passionate attention.

|Background information

|The Beats, Virgin
|Associated acts
Stephen Paul Manderson (born 27 November 1983),[1] better known by his stage name Professor Green, is an English rapper and songwriter. He is the co-host of Lip Sync Battle UK on Channel 5.
He was signed to The Beats, a record label run by Mike Skinner and Ted Mayhem, until 12 February 2008, when the label terminated. He rose to success upon winning the inaugural JumpOff MySpace £50,000 battle rap tournament in July 2008. Following this in 2009, he worked with Lily Allen on her 2009 concert tour.
In 2006 he released his first mixtape, Lecture #1. After his first record label, The Beats, went under he produced on his own an EP called The Green EP. After he toured with Lily Allen he was signed to Virgin Records and released "I Need You Tonight" featuring Ed Drewett, based on INXS's "Need You Tonight" through the label.[2] He also joined up with Allen on his second single "Just Be Good to Green", which is based on The SOS Band's "Just Be Good to Me".
In July 2010, Green released his debut album, Alive Till I'm Dead, which features guest vocals from Lily Allen, Emeli Sandé, Fink, Labrinth and Example, as well as The Streets. He followed this with the album At Your Inconvenience in October 2011 and Growing Up In Public in September 2014. In September 2015, Green released his autobiography Lucky.[3]
2010–11: Alive Till I'm Dead[edit]
He confirmed his debut album's title was "Alive Till I'm Dead" (sic) on his official MySpace. The first single off the album was produced by The ThundaCatz and called "I Need You Tonight", which was released on 12 April 2010. It samples the 1987 hit from INXS 'Need You Tonight'. It peaked at #3 in the UK, and #15 in Ireland. The single was also certificated silver status in the United Kingdom.
He released his second single 'Just Be Good to Green', on 11 July 2010 in the UK. The single features British singer Lily Allen. It became a top 5 hit in the UK, a top 20 hit in Ireland and on the European Hot 100 Singles. It also peaked at #32 in New Zealand and #49 in Australia. The song samples 'Just Be Good To Me' by the SOS Band.
His album was released a week later, and peaked at #2 in the UK and #18 in Ireland. He released Monster as the third single from the album. The track features UK rapper Example (Elliot Gleave). Released on 3 October 2010 the single became a top 30 hit on the UK Singles Chart. His album has been certificated Gold with sales of over 100,000 in the United Kingdom.
On 10 September 2010, Green joined Lily Allen on stage at Wembley Stadium whilst supporting Muse, to perform her number one hit 'Smile', and 'Just Be Good To Green'.[4]
On 19 October 2010, Green released the video for his next single "Jungle", which features Maverick Sabre. It was released on 3 January 2011 and reached #33 in the UK Singles Chart.
On 8 December 2010, a feud erupted on social networking site Twitter between Professor Green and fellow grime artist Wiley. The argument arose when Wiley said that Professor Green would not exist if it were not for the success of American rapper Eminem, adding that he himself was a superior artist to Green. In retribution Green responded by saying '"I will always be a fan, but that's not to say I won't s**t all over you. It's not a problem for me." This then escalated into a larger argument before Professor Green attempted to defuse the situation, to little avail.[5]
Green appeared on Soccer AM, where he was challenged to a rap battle by Tubes. After several starting spits, Green said: "I'm the Professor, the one that you don't wanna test, Tubes is about as smart as the Soccerette." This got a big reaction from everyone in the studio.
Green is also UK Ambassador for SportLifestyle brand Puma, focusing on the fashion and lifestyle side of the brand.
2011–2012: At Your Inconvenience[edit]
Green's second album is titled At Your Inconvenience and was released on 31 October 2011.[6] The title track "At Your Inconvenience" was premiered by Zane Lowe on BBC Radio 1 on 13 July 2011.[7] That track was released as a promotional single only, as an instant download upon preorder of the album on iTunes. The first official single, "Read All About It" (with guest vocals from Emeli Sandé), was released on 23 October 2011. On 30 October 2011, it reached #1 in the UK Singles Chart.[8]
The second single released from the album was "Never Be a Right Time", with guest vocals from Ed Drewett. The EP featured remixes from Document One and Drums of London, and a remix of "How Many Moons" featuring fellow UK rappers Dream McLean and Rinse. The "How Many Moons" remix premiered on Mistajam's show on 1Xtra in January 2012. The third single released was "Remedy", featuring Ruth-Anne Cunningham. A remix contest was hosted where producers could download the stems for the track and use them to create a remix. The winner won a trip to meet and greet Green in Hyde Park on 7 July 2012 at the Wireless Festival.[9]
In May 2012, Green released his own signature beer "Remedy". An American style pale ale, brewed with English ingredients.[10]
The fourth single set to be released is "Avalon" featuring Sierra Kusterbeck,[11] which appeared on an advert for the energy drink Relentless. Pro Green is a brand ambassador for Relentless, and performed for them at a secret gig in his home town of Hackney, London on 15 November 2012.[12]
2013–present: Growing Up In Public[edit]
Green expressed interest to work with Lily Allen, Ed Sheeran, Emeli Sandé and Lana Del Rey, however none of these artists made it onto the album. Possible producers so far for the album, includes Mike Skinner, Sid Wilson of Slipknot,[13] iSHi, Pharrell Williams and Skrillex. Green has created a single with former collaborator Example called "Fast Life" which he believes will be successful.[14][15][16] A promotional non-album single, titled "Are You Getting Enough?", features Miles Kane and was released on 21 July 2013.[17] After the single failed to chart even in the UK top 100, Green announced that the first "proper" single from the album would be released in January 2014 and the album would follow shortly. These were later delayed to July and September 2014 respectively. He has also delayed his tour to November 2014 to coincide with the album which comes out in August.[18]
Green also performed new tracks titled "I Need Church" and "Little Secrets" in his 2013 live sets.[19] Green has also posted clips of new songs "Name in Lights" (produced by Cores and featuring Rizzle Kicks)[20] and "Jealous Girl" on his Instagram.[21] Tweets and Instagram posts have also revealed a collaboration with Wretch 32 and iSHi titled "Gross" and another track titled "The Middle". Green also posted a short clip of a collaboration with iSHI and Ella Eyre which didn't make the album.[22]
Green appeared on CBBC show 12 Again, talking about his life at age 12. On 14 April 2013, he released a 54-second teaser of the album's first promotional single "Not Your Man", which features vocals from Thabo.
In 2014, he appeared on a remix of "German Whip" by Meridian Dan, also featuring Skepta, Bossman Birdie and Jordan Stephens. "Not Your Man" premiered in full on 3 July 2014, and was released on 5 July as an "instant grat" download on iTunes when you pre-ordered the album. The album's second "instant grat" promotional single, "I Need Church", was released on 16 July. The lead single from the album, "Lullaby" featuring Tori Kelly, was released on 14 September 2014. Growing Up in Public was released on 22 September 2014.[23] The album features guest appearances from James Craise, Tori Kelly, Mr Probz, Rizzle Kicks, Whinnie Williams, Thabo, Cas and Dream Mclean.[24]
Green has caused online controversy by claiming that bulimia is "an intelligent eating disorder" on Twitter. He said: "Bulimia is quite an intelligent eating disorder... it'd be easier just to chew food and spit it out but still, you get to eat whatever you want and stay skinny." He then added: "Cue all the people who start telling me how insensitive I am and how bulimia jokes aren't funny yadda yadda yadda... I'm just trying to find a way to be in New York and not become a fat bastard."
Green also quoted a line from Nas' song "Queens Get the Money", writing: "I'm over they heads like a bulimic on a seesaw." The comments resulted in a number of his Twitter followers branding him "sick" and "disgusting", while clinical nurse Dan Round told The Sun: "There is a lot of stigma and misunderstanding surrounding eating disorders. They are not just about food and wanting to be thin."[25]
In 2013, Green was found to have driven with 52 mg of alcohol in 100ml of breath. The legal limit is 35. He was banned from driving for 12 months after pleading guilty to drinking behind the wheel.[20]
Personal life[edit]
On 23 May 2009, Green was attacked with the neck of a broken bottle in the Cargo nightclub in Shoreditch, London. He has a tattoo of the word "lucky" where he was stabbed, though ironically this existed prior to the attack on his neck. His assailant was later convicted of the crime and sentenced to eight years in prison.[26]
On 16 October 2012, Puma launched an exclusive apparel collection designed by Green.[27]
On 25 March 2013, Millie Mackintosh announced on her Twitter account that she and Green were engaged.[28] They married at Babington House in Somerset on 10 September 2013.[25]
On 24 May 2013, Green was crushed between two Mercedes cars when travelling to perform a live show at Hartpury College in Gloucester. He was thought to have broken his leg, but soon returned to appear at Harper Adams University in Shropshire after just three weeks, followed by a long set at Glastonbury during the last weekend in June, which included him running along the front row of the audience.[29][30]
Green's autobiography, Lucky, was published in 2015.[31] Green presented Suicide and Me on BBC Three on 27 October 2015.[32]

Rumormongers we aren't (no, seriously!) but we've been tipped off to a handful of
Cingular AT&T releases waiting in the wings for the that seem totally plausible -- so we thought we'd better do our good civic duty by passing the deets on to our readers. First up, the Motorola V3xx will hit in your choice of black or gold, bringing what should be a decent choice for low- to mid-range 3G action. The Samsung SYNC, meanwhile, will turn blue in time for Valentine's Day, and -- speaking of blue -- the Pantech C3 will get hooked up with Bluetooth to make the C3B. Best of all, if it checks out, this stuff should all go down some time before the beginning of April.

I have had 3 other K&N systems on other vehicles and always liked them. I am not impressed by this one. I was surprised by the lack of quality that the other systems had. Some of the clamps included were incorrect size so I had to take them off the factory pipe and use them here. The intake pipe could stand to be longer so there is more area to clamp to. Also, and this in not a system problem but, the throaty sound these normally produce is missing on this motor.

in response to Kris Jones HelpfulThere are lots of things that cause the installer not to cycle through. The two major are 1) a conflict of some kind with a display driver. 2) a conflict with the language of your cuurently running Boot Camp 2.0.
If its your Display driver you need to go to -> Control Panel -> System -> Hardware Tab -> Device Manager -> Display Adaptors.
Look at how many Display adaptors you have. You really only need one(which sometimes is there twice). If you have more than one then you probably have a program like "GoToMyPc" or LogMeIn" which has put it's display adaptor there. If that is the case then you need to first unistall the program and then in the Display Adaptors section -> del the driver.
Test if this is the source of your prblem by running the installer again.
(P.S) there are a few PC video games and other programs that install Display drivers so if you dont have either of the Remote Access Programs I mentions be aware that that the conflicting Display Driver could be comming from another program.
If your problem is a conflict in the language of your running version of Boot Camp then you'll need to do the following
in Windows goto Start ->Run -> type "regedit" click OK -> in the new window go to EDIT -> Find -> type "Boot Camp Services.
The Boot Camp setting should come up if they did not come up try another search with Boot-Camp Services. Look at the language settings. If you run in English it should have a Value of 0X00000409 (1033). If it does not then modify the info to match. This only works if your set to English. If not then you will need to investigate the values for your language.
I Hope this helps.
Kris Jones Nov 20, 2008 4:23 AM
in response to iBay14Thank you iBay. I did indeed have LogMeIn installed. Following your instructions to remove the LogMeIn display adaptor, I have now successfully applied the Boot Camp Updater.
I'm most grateful for your help.

Thanks ! I have been struggling for several months with an installation error of BootCamp 2.1 on XP and your language tip solvd my problem ! Very grateful to you !
I'm an Engineer, fairly savvy on windows and Mac and lost a lot of time. I can't conceive how come Apple does not provide nearly adequate support and makes its customers loose so much time :((.

in response to iBay14Hi. The suggestion worked, but with some modifications. My problem as the language settings, but I couldn't find the string "Boot Camp Services", because the string was in the foreigner language. In my case, it was in the language of my keyboard settings, portuguese: "Serviços Boot Camp". So I had to search for "Boot Camp" and select the match that allowed my to change the language settings. After doing that, the installer worked fine Here is another forum post about this language issue:
firstname.lastname@example.com Jan 19, 2009 6:45 AM
in response to Kris JonesJust adding onto this thread with some additional information...
The suggestion about multiple display adapters was useful to me. In my case, I discovered that the Mirror Driver installed by UltraVNC was the problem. Now, disabling that display in Device Manager was not sufficient; I actually had to stop the VNC service then completely uninstall the application. After that, Boot Camp updated successfully.
Thanks for the suggestion!

LUFTRAUSERS is just the right amount of crazy
Jun 07
// Patrick Hancock
LUFTRAUSERS (PC [previewed], Mac, Linux, PS3, PS Vita)Developer: VlambeerPublisher: Devolver DigitalRelease Date: Summer 2013 MSRP: $9.99 The goal in LUFTRAUSERS is to kick some serious butt. You fly a small airship tasked with blowing up other aircraft and boats. Doing so rewards points, which go towards unlocking new parts for the ship. If there is an "end game," I clearly haven't been awesome enough to get to that point, though I think I might have come close a few times. The main draw of LUFTRAUSERS isn't beating the game, though. It's doing better and better in order to make your ship bigger and badder. Ships are divided into three pieces: the weapon, body, and engine. Mixing and matching pieces together is really interesting, as each new combo is given a nickname by the game and even its own objectives to complete. For example, my favorite combination so far is the "Danger Zone." It uses a superboosted engine that's hard to control accurately, along with a four-homing-missile weapon system that can't be spammed but can be very powerful against a single enemy, and a Nuke body, which does tremendous damage to everything on the level after death. I love this combination because it has a pretty high skill ceiling. Not being able to spam the homing missiles (since only four can be out at once) forces the player to think about their shots, rather than simply holding down the X key in order to win. Likewise, the superboosted engine is a bit unwieldy, since "pressing the gas" launches the ship in a single direction at a very high speed. It isn't easy, but getting a good round with the Danger Zone just feels good. [embed]255634:49012:0[/embed] While watching someone play LUFTRAUSERS, it may look like a chaotic mess, but somehow everything is easily interpreted by the player. On the PC, movement is done via the arrow keys, while firing uses the X key. After a few brief learning rounds, chances are that you'll come to grips with the controls and they'll simply "click." After a while, I was bobbing and weaving around bullets and enemies like a graceful ballerina of death. I almost felt as if my hand was on auto-pilot (eh? eh?) while evading taking damage. A certain sense of clairvoyance came over me, which dramatically increased my score. Score is based off of a multiplier, which goes up by one for each kill, to a maximum of twenty. Managing the multiplier while simultaneously concentrating on avoiding damage is much easier said than done. Especially since, after taking damage, the player needs to stop accelerating and firing in order to recoup some of that lost HP. A ship's health is represented by a circle around it, only visible after taking damage. The circle has some discoloration to it, making it super easy to see while in the middle of the chaotic nonsense going on around the player. It's a great way to keep the player's eyes on the ship instead of some health bar on the corner of the screen, away from the action. Mission objectives also show up, the contents of which depend on the ship's makeup. They start off easy enough, challenging players to get a MAX combo or kill 10 enemies without letting go of the fire key. I love the objectives because it gives me something to aim for other than just a high score (though sometimes that's all it takes to complete a mission). I can go in and know what I want to accomplish before I reach my inevitable demise. The graphics are tinted in a wonderful sepia tone which looks great in motion. The music is done by KOZILEK, giving me the opportunity to remind everyone that Gun Godz exists and that you should go play it. If that's any indication of what the combo of Vlambeer and KOZILEK can accomplish, I can't wait for LUFTRAUSERS to be finished. I do wish there was some innate controller support, however, since my right hand ached pretty badly after some serious constant playtime with the game. Considering that the game will also show up on the PS3 and Vita, the odds seem pretty good. In fact, this will fit so perfectly on the Vita that it makes me a bit jealous. LUFTRAUSERS is the definition of intensity. A few minutes into a round, when the music really kicks in and you may or may not have taken some hits to your ship, your whole body tightens up as you intentionally weave in and out of oncoming bullets, firing at anything that comes your way. The game does a perfect job of making you feel like a badass. A sepia-tone badass.

Ridiculous Fishing: Strategy Guide, Tips, and Tricks
Apr 06
// Niero Desu
While Ridiculous Fishing might appear to play like a straightforward variant of a bullet-hell game, there's a little more depth (sorry) than meets the eye. For example, some fish only appear during specific real-life hours of the day (try advancing iOS clock to daytime, nighttime, and midnight). Some will spawn depending on which clothing you're wearing. Certain fish can cause a silent combo chain to expedite the lure's rise to the surface, and non-linear Metroidvania strategies are the only way to unlock the rarest of creatures. Basic Mechanics Scheme. Once you're on the boat you can do one of two things: touch the jiggling thing (that's supposed to be Billy's phone, which opens your in-game menu) or tap anywhere to go fishing. You may also pause the game on the right. That covers 33% of the controls. Go deep. Tilt your phone or tablet to avoid fish on the way down. You can later purchase a chainsaw item to cut through obstacles by holding down your finger, and perform tactical hovers and attacks on the way back to the surface. Snatch up. Touch as many fish as you can on the way up. Anything that resembles a jelly fish is bad news. You'll want to collect them at least once for the first time, but otherwise they simply deduct from your score. Some jellyfish even multiply on contact, so avoid them at all cost. Jelly jerks is more like it. As you collect new species of fish, more maps will open up, allowing you to earn more money faster by having access to more valuable fish by starting mid-level in treacherous waters. I mention this now so you don't waste time grinding early levels: There will be plenty of time to do this after as you seek out rare fish later on. Shoot down. Once your lure resurfaces all of the fish are thrown into the air. Tap the fish to blow them to smithereens. Initially you're limited to a single finger, but later you can purchase multi-touch weapons for massive damage. You knew a crab boss joke was coming, get over it. The Grind When you've got some cash, go back to the surface tap Billy's phone to open the shop menu. Minor annoyance: Any time you have enough money to buy something the cash register sequence will say "1 new item" when it really means "you can afford 1 thing," not that a new unlockable has appeared. Learn the prices and set goals in your head to save yourself some time checking back and forth. Sound plays an important factor: listen for gasoline warning and depletion instead of taking your eyes off of the lure to see your gas meter. The Byrdr is a mock Twitter app that allows you to perform real re-tweets the quirky dialogue between the game characters. Not particularly useful, but pretty funny stuff. As you unlock areas, species, and items new content will appear here. While on the topic of Twitter, you might want to follow the developer. Buy the Fishopedia from the shop as soon as you can to get some visual and text clues on where to find the first 40 or so basic fish. The rest require creative experimentation. The Shop Explained: Reels determine how deep you can fish. Buy them these upgrades when you're skilled enough to touch the bottom of an area and want to go deeper. Guns take the fish out once you've pulled them above water. Most valuable fish take quite a few shots to take down, so experiment on which best suits your play style. Some fire explosives in slow progression while others are snappier but issue less damage per shot. Lures help you snag fish on the way to the surface. Tech is what really helps you immediately suck less: items that help you recoup from your mistakes and shortcomings as a player. You can purchase Toasters and Blow-Dryers ($2,300!) to allow you to make mistakes without being interrupted on the way down, and items like the Bowling Ball will let you begin levels halfway through to make grinding less painful. You can also use your fuel to slow the drill on the way up to nab rare fish. Misc alters the look of your character, boosts the sale value of fish, and what you wear may help you increase the odds of finding rare fish. The Emperor's Robe, for example, doubles the resale value of the fish. Each upgrade is pricey, but pays for itself over time. Why someone would pay a bounty for exploded fish parts full of lead is beyond me. Purchasing Order: The chainsaw, upgrades for your chainsaw, and more fuel for your chainsaw are the cheapest and most useful upgrades to help you score big despite your lack of skills. Even as you get better that chainsaw will be your primary saving grace, so master it! To unlock all the fish in the first three areas (to unlock the infinite mode) of the map you'll need to buy the deepest Reels. You may want to purchase the cheap tech in-between deep reels after you've found a gun that best fits your style. I'll get to that in a second: The most expensive gun in the game isn't necessarily the best for all players. There aren't any "bad" mid-tier weapons in this game, just some that are slower than others. If you know your accuracy sucks you'll want to compensate with automatic weapons like the Uzi or Mini-Guns. If you're a natural marksman go for the stronger Shotguns, Bazookas, and Magnums. The game doesn't seem to force your play style either way. You can't see anything under 250 or so meters unless you've purchased one of the two lantern upgrades. If you make it that far and don't own one, fire up the chainsaw and wiggle your screen hoping for the best. Map Order: There are four basic maps: Home Waters, Stormy Seas, Arctic Floes, and The Maelstrom. As soon as map is unlocked, you can move back and forth at anytime. The first three levels are relatively shallow and have quasi-boss characters at the end of them, and depending on your actions you can make other special rare fish appear only in the deep. Defeating some of the larger fish will make special apparel appear in the store, like a squid hat. You don't have to beat the third boss to unlock the fourth level: simply focus on gathering more unique species by purchasing reels to unlock it. The Maelstrom is the best place to grind for cash, so the faster you arrive the faster you can get great items. Common Sense: You can't do a quick rage-quit of a failed run, so boost often. The best way to boost is by making short, light taps to make it last. Don't hold it down unless you really need to. Get comfortable. How you sit and how you cradle the device will greatly determine how nimble your motions will be, and your game session fatigue level. If you want to smear your chest with Cheetos crumbs in bed then be my guest, but you're likely to get better results by keeping both elbows out and keeping your back straight. Hunching slightly down also puts the center of gravity in your favor, giving you better tilt precision. Videogames are serious business, especially if you have an older heavier tablet working those biceps. "The cheap upgrades suck more than the expensive upgrades." -Socrates (probably). No, seriously, max out every item category before trying to max out your Fishopedia or you're just making things harder for yourself. As stated in the purchase order: If your weapon is good enough to knock out most fish in the air, focus on chainsaw and gasoline upgrades, but you'll want to get everything. As soon as you upgrade your drill with some gas, you're going to be tempted to just barrel down with the drill blazing, cutting everything in sight. Its fun, but its the easiest way to lose fast. Pace yourself and only use the drill as a life saver and you'll go much deeper. Navigating the fish Matrix: Look ahead of the lure, period. Don't look at your meter, don't look at your gas, don't look at the sides of the screen. Burn your eyeballs a few notches past your lure and learn to master your hitbox as you would with any bullet-hell shooter. Not all fish are procedurally drawn. There are definitive schools of fish that you can predict encountering at a certain meter limit, like the first two dense clusters of House Boat snails in the Stormy Seas. You can learn some parts of the level, and strategically save gas for the areas that give you the most trouble. Don't navigate the entire screen trying to dodge objects at random. Hold your ground and move out of the way as needed, taking the time to understand patterns and make mental marks of what depths the severe bottlenecks are located. Some are just easier to drill through than navigate. Resist temptation to just jam down the drill: pump it like a car break as needed. You'll get way more mileage this way than a panicked descent down. Tunnel vision will be the end of you. Keep the screen a decent distance away from your face and look for the openings before they touch your ship. After awhile your focus will rarely be on your ship, but rather where you want to be instead The best place to grind cash for items, hands down, is the Maelstrom. You're earning the most dollars per minute here than the other sites, overall. I would recommend rushing through the other parts and arriving here ASAP to enjoy the best retirement. Catching The Rarest Fish Not all rare fish are sitting at the bottom of the ocean. Keep your eyes peeled for fast-moving fish near the surface of the early levels as well. Some fish only appear once per level. Most fish marked as "location unknown" are deep in the Maelstrom. A fish is considered captured when killed underwater, in the air, or when tech is used. It is absolutely worth ruining a good run and smashing through all your second-chance items just to catch one species you've never seen before, as some spawn very rarely. This rare fish guide demonstrates how to catch everything. I did notice that certain conditions across other guides vary, so there may be multiple ways to make certain fish appear. I liked this one because it has pretty pictures and was written by a real human. Setting your iOS system clock to midnight, evening, and daytime can affect the availability of creatures, like the Mimic and the sea horses. "Hey, Rich Girls." Many of the ultra-rare fish are not available until you've reached far enough in one of the levels to view the game credits. This is what the Fishopedia means by "come back in the future." This Twitter account has more great fishing tips. BONUS TIPS! A developer from Vlambeer was gracious enough to personally review our guide for unsucky-ness. He would like to add these two sagely pieces of advice: Avoid the carrier fish, they will screw you up. Use chainsaw during descend on high-value, high-strength fishes. They earn you the same amount of money when killed by the chainsaw. Do you have tips of your own that you'd like to share? Sound off in the comments below!

Review: Ridiculous Fishing
Mar 16
// Jonathan Holmes
Ridiculous Fishing (iPad, iPhone [reviewed])Developer: VlambeerPublisher: VlambeerReleased: March 14, 2013MSRP: $2.99 Like real-life fishing, Ridiculous Fishing is simple enough on the surface, but once you sink past that surface, you'd be surprised at the depths you'll plunge to. The game utilizes three phases of interconnected gameplay types to make every round of casting into a three-act adventure in and of itself. First is the "dodge" phase. After casting your line, your goal is to dodge as many fish as possible in order to make your way as low as you can go. This runs counter-intuitive to your fishing instincts, as it pays off when you get to phase two. The farther down the briney depths you sink, the more types of fish you pass, with each new breed being more exotic and valuable than the last. [embed]248860:47604:0[/embed] When you hit a fish or reach the end of your line, your line starts its way back to the surface. That's when the "catch" phase begins. Now you play the aggressor and work to catch all those fish that you ran in fear from while passing them by in the "dodge" phase. The more fish you grab, the more fish you'll reach the surface with for the "shoot" phase. This is the part of the game where you fling your fish into the air and blast as many of them as you can with various firearms. It is ridiculous. These three phases work on the "Pac-Man principles" of design. You're first made to feel afraid of making contact with other in-game characters, putting you in a nail-biting mode of heightened awareness as you negotiate a maze of threats and obstacles. That tension builds until the "power-pellet moment" of phase two, where the tables are turned and you work to aggressively gobble up everything that you were running from mere moments before. That rush of "get it while you can" is then turned up a notch in phase three where you have seconds to cash in on the lives of your defenseless quarry. It's an amazing formula, which is probably why the game's predecessor Radical Fishing was "admired" enough to be shamelessly ripped off by a-game-which-will-remain-nameless-as-to-reduce-how-successful-it-may-become. Suffice to say, Vlambeer (the developers of Radical Fishing and Ridiculous Fishing) had something to prove here. They had to make a game that not only made Radical Fishing totally obsolete, but would also completely outclass the game that ripped them off as well. Vlambeer's personal drive to create the very best iteration of the Radical Fishing concept has paid off for all of us. Everything about the game has been maxed out in both content and quality. There is huge amount of fish to catch, each with their own behaviors and level of scarcity. Some of which actual steal money from you if you catch them, which is a great way to turn the the formula on its head. There are fish that can only be caught at certain times of day, in certain areas of the map, or otherwise require some unconventional means of discovery. There are even boss fish battles. No expense was spared in the creation of this world of fish and the people who kill them. The more types of fish you discover, the more areas on the world map you unlock, and the more money you're likely to acquire to use toward purchases of the game's many (often hilarious) items. There are loads of different guns, lures, and other items to collect, all of which add gameplay twists, but are never overpowered. This speaks to the game's finely tuned difficulty curve, which never leaves you feeling hopeless, but always gives you the idea that you may do just a little bit better after just "one more game." When you're not fishing, you can explore the game's largely optional narrative through the in-game Twitter parody Byrdr. What seems like a inconsequential trifle at first quickly unfolds to be quite an emotionally charged tale, which makes sense considering that it the ARG was written by The Stanley Parable creator Davey Wreden. The theme of redemption and questioning of self worth are perfectly in tune with the life of a fisherman. The art direction here utilizes an angular mosaic style that evoke the strengths of sprite-based graphics without leaning on the idea of "retro" appeal. The abstract look exudes an unpredictable, playful character that's the perfect fit for a game called "Ridiculous Fishing." The music is simple and strange, also a perfect fit for a game with such a name. Yes, perfect is the word for Ridiculous Fishing. Everything comes together to deliver a cohesive whole that works to alternate between making you smile, making you wonder, and most of all, making you want more. Thankfully, the game is quick to offer more. Just when you think you've seen the end, there's a new area, new item, a new kick in the storyline, or new fish to savor. Ingeniously designed, continuously compelling, painstakingly crafted, dripping with personality, packed with content -- I like everything about Ridiculous Fishing.

Indie Nation: Venus Patrol games
Oct 13
// Patrick Hancock
Gun Godz has a z instead of an s in its name for a reason: it doesn't give a shit. This is a pure, unadulterated, and enjoyable romp in the vein of older first-person shooter games like Doom or Duke Nukem. Each level will ask you to accomplish three goals: kill everyone, get all the items, and perform a speedrun. Doing these objectives will net you Triangles. At least, that's what I'm calling them. As you accrue Triangles, you begin to unlock secret stages, which are easily the best levels in the game. Gun Godz is so unapologetic it hurts. That kind of rush that only comes from using a minigun to mow down an entire room of enemies is something I haven't had the joy of experiencing in a very long time. You know exactly what you're getting while running through the regular stages, which is exactly what makes the secret levels so much more entertaining. The standard levels are simple and effective, but it almost seems as if they're just easing you in to the secret levels. While the standard levels are linear murder-filled romps, the secret levels are essentially puzzles. For example, the first secret level gives you as few bullets as possible for you to clear out the level, so if you mess up even once then you've failed. I don't want to spoil the others, but they are each unique. If you ever read about Gun Godz and the writer fails to mention the music, stage a protest. The music in Gun Godz is…..well here, just listen to the title music: [embed]236275:45343:0[/embed] It's hip-hop, it's electronic, it's freakin' weird. It fits the oddball and hectic theme of the game incredibly well, however and I wouldn't have it any other way. Oh god, I can't stop listening to it! All I can say is thank you, Kozilek, for reminding me that I love a style of music I've never heard before. Capsule is an incredible game. What it manages to pull off with so little is astounding. It's a purely atmospheric game that gets me as tense and nervous as any big-time horror title ever has (aside: I am a scaredy-cat when it comes to this stuff). All Capsule consists of is traveling through space, looking for various space stations to dock at while keeping your Power and Oxygen in check. Each space station also has some message logs that help set the eerie tone and string you along to each new area. Capsule has both a minimalistic look and feel, but that doesn't detract from the game at all; in fact, it works in its favor. The sound design is the true star of Capsule. The sound is done by Robin Arnott, perhaps most famous for his work on Deep Sea, a terrifying audio-only game about escaping "unseen terrors." The sound of hulking metal moving through space combined with the harrowing sound of breathing makes for one of the most intense experiences ever. It acts as a staunch reminder that the sound design in videogames is just as important as any other aspect. Too often do consumers get caught up on the graphic fidelity of the game and too often are the smaller -- but just as important -- details overlooked and ignored. Gun Godz and Capsule are two very different, yet excellent games.

Crispy Crouton Salad Recipe
Nothing says "summer" at our house like this unique salad! It's also a great way to use up fresh basil and tomatoes from the garden. I've brought it to many women's luncheons at church, and it's still a much-requested favorite. --LaNae Sanchez, Canyon Country, California
- 3 cups cubed Italian bread
- 3 medium tomatoes, chopped
- 6 ounces cubed part-skim mozzarella cheese
- 1 medium sweet yellow pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1/3 cup minced fresh basil
- 6 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons white or brown balsamic vinegar
- 1-1/2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon pepper
- 1. Place bread cubes in a single layer in an ungreased 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. baking pan. Bake at 450° for 6-8 minutes or until golden brown, stirring twice. Cool.
- 2. In a large bowl, combine the tomatoes, mozzarella, yellow pepper and basil. In a small bowl, whisk the oil, vinegar, garlic, salt and pepper. Pour over salad and toss to coat. Sprinkle with croutons. Yield: 8 servings.
