Anarchy Reigns Review: Return of the Brawler
Developer Platinum Games wraps together some absurd ideas to deliver a solid multiplayer brawler.
Anarchy Reigns can look like a scatterbrained mess of a game at times. Its art direction wanders all over the place, with character designs culled from a wide palette of visual styles. Imagine cybernetic burly dudes, skin-tight vixens, robots, and a dash of Dynasty Warrior costumes, and you'll start to get the idea. Its use of hub worlds and a scoring system to unlock new missions can appear obtuse and even arbitrary. Some may even think the single-player feels a bit tacked-on, mostly due to a oddly implemented campaign structure that can feel like a perfunctory way to unlock the remaining 16-player roster. And then there's the middling graphics, which range in quality from up-rezzed PlayStation 2 visuals to an almost-but-not-quite-Unreal-Engine-3 level of detail. If you can't handle these types of flaws, you probably won't find Anarchy Reigns that impressive or fun -- even at the tantalizing price tag of $30.
But there's more to Anarchy Reigns than these surface level flaws, and if you're willing to look a little deeper, there's actually a fun game to enjoy here. Anyone disappointed by its presentation and campaign structure will still find a surprisingly deep brawler to play with, and for developer Platinum Games that's kind of the point: Sure, Anarchy Reigns presents a handful of irksome single-player design decisions, but it ultimately succeeds in resuscitating the multiplayer brawler and applies a modern sensibility to a forgotten genre.
Brawlers fell out of vogue more than 20 years ago, either becoming commonly tied to licensed properties or mechanically becoming assimilated into other genres -- more specifically, action games like Devil May Cry -- but Platinum Games uses this vintage source material to inform every aspect of Anarchy Reigns. Mechanically, each character possesses the same core abilities -- a uniform set of heavy and light attacks, a killer weapon which runs on regenerating energy and sets up damaging combinations, and a distinct fighting style that comes with strengths and weaknesses. Special abilities play into certain online game types -- which modifies the damage output if you perform a 360 degree attack or enhances the reach of your attacks -- and players have to reach specific milestones, online and offline, in order to unlock them all.
Since multiplayer comprises a bulk of Anarchy Reigns' design, a player has to invest a lot of time online (or practice against bots) in order to grasp the nuances of a character. This learning experience mimics a similar curve found in most fighting games, where experience and constant exposure helps a player uncover effective strategies and character choices. A few hours into Anarchy Reignsâ?? multiplayer, one thing is certain: This isn't an online game where button-mashers will find success. In order to win, you need to understand the limits of your character and then cultivate strategies to fit those strengths.
Anarchy Reigns offers a variety of deathmatch and objective-based modes for players to dive into. If you've played a competitive online game in the last 10 years, you won't find modes like Team Deathmatch or Capture the Flag enticing at first, but Platinum Games does a great job of adapting these established game types to fit the mechanics of their game. Even a wave-based cooperative survival mode finds its way into Anarchy Reigns, and although we've seen this idea taken to varying extremes by plenty of developers before, it still ends up feeling fun and interesting thanks to the well-designed combat mechanics.
It almost feels like no idea seemed too off-the-wall for the Anarchy Reigns development team. Sure, the garish way the art comes together can stand as one possible example of this, but there are positives too, like the way cataclysmic events can randomly occur mid-round and transform the battlefield into a chaotic mess of panicked enemies and destruction. These black holes, explosive runaway semi-trucks, poisonous gases, and other calamities add a random variable that makes staying alive more challenging. If that's not enough for you, then there are multiplayer ideas like Death Ball -- a game type that marries brawling and sports into an entertaining experiment that almost feels as polished as Halo 3's Grifball. Understandably, some may find a lot of the content excessive and repetitive, thusly, Anarchy Reigns might not appeal to everyone, but its solid combat and multiplayer offering mark a promising restart for a genre many folks forgot about.

Curious to hear his input on this, he wrote quite an expansive article regarding the history of brawlers since 1988. For me, this is the game I've been waiting to play since Power Stone 2. The gameplay is jaw dropping, the controls are smooth, and the dialogue (F bombs and stereotypes every 5 seconds) will make you laugh out loud multiple times. Anarchy Reigns is Bayonetta, Gears of War, Contra, Street Fighter 2, Dynasty Warriors and Borderlands combined with a Terantino gore and crass dialogue.
The online community is really engaging as well. Everyone is excited to be playing this game win or lose and no 2 battles are the same.

It's my kind of game. Besides, it might be a welcome mix-up from my usual Koei/Tecmo Dynasty Warriors fix! I've read that you can even play through the story with all the characters after you beat the game's campaign mode. (Though it is kind of a shame the cutscenes remain the same.)
Thanks for the review,Jose!
Is That Bayonetta Beating Up the Main Character?Posted: Jan 09, 2013 12:00AM PST by Nightmare_Omega
I may have to check this out.
No, that's Bayonetta :)Posted: Jan 09, 2013 12:00AM PST by V4Viewtiful
It comes either as an exclusive or later DLC, she's just an extra
ResearchPosted: Jan 09, 2013 12:00AM PST by lllYakuzalll
Do you people realize Anarchy Reigns is made by Platinum Games, The people behind Bayonetta? Wow
The game seems all over the placePosted: Jan 09, 2013 12:00AM PST by Diesl
The game seems like a good idea at first glance but after reading this review and a few others/seeing some gameplay it feels eratic. The game doesn't look smooth and feels like a more intense version of mortal combat with a few other aspects thrown in. The feeling seems to be if you mash your buttons as fast as you can, you'll win. It doesn't seem original. The only good part of the game seems to be the art.
@DieslPosted: Jan 09, 2013 12:00AM PST by roto13
The review says the exact opposite of that, but ok:
A few hours into Anarchy Reigns' multiplayer, one thing is certain: This isn't an online game where button-mashers will find success. In order to win, you need to understand the limits of your character and then cultivate strategies to fit those strengths.
MaybePosted: Jan 09, 2013 12:00AM PST by Diesl
I feel I would have to play the game to be sure. Never the less it still seems like a rip off of Mortal Combat. The review says that it doesn't promote the button mashers but button mashers will always find there way into games like this and do moderately well
Are you Trolling?Posted: Jan 09, 2013 12:00AM PST by lllYakuzalll
Are you really comparing this game to Mortal Kombat? I don't see what resemblences you see between the 2 at all. The only conclusion I can think is that you're just trolling. This review doesn't really do the game justice, it's a niche title and isn't for everyone. I for one absolutely love it. It's original, and a game that isn't afraid to do something different when everyone else is just making generic first person shooters.
Not trolling, opinionPosted: Jan 09, 2013 12:00AM PST by Diesl
It's a lot like 3D Mortal Kombat and something like FFA Call Of Duty when it comes to the multiplayer (minus the guns) and for the missions it's essentaily Boarderlands 2. It's two great ideas mashed together to form whatever this is. Except that in Boarderlands 2, you can follow the story line which you can't do in this. The missions are described as "repetative" at best and the only thing that lends them character is how gruesom they are
Title of CommentPosted: Jan 09, 2013 12:00AM PST by roto13
Ha ha ha ha ha ha, what? Mortal Kombat? Grusome? Have you so much as looked at a trailer for this game? You clearly don't have even the tiniest little clue about what this game is or what it's like and you have the nerve to describe it as "repetitive" or anything else?
Looked a lotPosted: Jan 10, 2013 12:00AM PST by Diesl
I've looked at a lot more than the trailer. I've seen multiple reviews, a ton of gameplay, and have many other companies opinion on it. It may be a good idea, but all in all it looks like something that's already been done. Maybe not in this genre though. In whole, not a game I would buy

Comments about Kinsey Accent Chair:
This is my 2nd review and I still don't have a new chair ordered and paid for on 11/5/14. First delivery they called and said the chair was damaged, had a rip and they had to reschedule. Ok/no problem. Following week they deliver a chair that was UNACCEPTABLE!!! Looks like a rip on the seam in the back was HAND SEWN (really!!!), legs all dinged up. One leg is not sturdy, screw is stripped and it spins. Another leg is facing the wrong way but it's not movable, like it's clued in the position. Some of the studs are missing and or come right off with little effort. Not real safe for kids. I have an autistic daughter that could easily but one in her mouth. Value City Furniture were the delivery people. I have had AWFUL/same experience with the quality of their products just last year. No QC on the products prior to delivering and they try to deliver you damaged items hoping you'll take it. The particular chair I ordered is on back order until mid January. I have expressed my concerns with them and said I do not want another defective chair. I'm giving you and them one more chance, only because I really like the chair.

Skip to comments.Saudis Kill Al Qaeda Mastermind (about time they got something right!)
Posted on 06/19/2004 7:41:52 AM PDT by KangarooJacqui
Saudis kill al-Qaeda mastermind By Anna Cock in New York June 20, 2004
ONE of the world's most wanted terrorists was reportedly shot dead yesterday, a few hours after his militant group beheaded an American defence contractor.
Abdulaziz al-Muqrin who Saudi police shot dead.
Saudi authorities said Abd al-Aziz al-Muqrin was killed with three other wanted terrorists in the capital, Riyadh, while they were trying to dispose of the body.
The raids followed the execution of Paul Johnson, who worked in Saudi Arabia for the aerospace company Lockheed Martin, which makes Apache helicopter gunships.
Video footage of the grisly killing was posted on Islamist websites.
In a fast-moving military operation, Saudi security forces closed in on the Malazz district, a middle-class area of Riyadh.
They reportedly stormed a building - possibly the makeshift prison where Mr Johnson had been held captive - before surrounding the terrorists' car in a Riyadh street.
Authorities said two brothers, Bandar and Faisal Abdul Rahman al-Dakheel, and another terrorist were shot and killed.
Saudi state television last night broadcast pictures of four bodies it said were those of Muqrin and the three other dead militants.
But a website linked to al-Qaeda yesterday denied al-Muqrin had been killed.
"Following the lies about the death of Abd al-Aziz al-Muqrin, we affirm that such allegations, spread by the tyrants in Saudi Arabia, are intended to undermine the morale of the mujahideen," the communique said.
Arabiya television showed footage of police cars and crowds.
A passer-by who saw the three men unloading a body reportedly led police to the terrorists' vehicle.
Muqrin and his companions were killed in an exchange of fire in which a member of the Saudi security forces also died.
President Bush vowed that Mr Johnson's beheading by "extremist thugs" would not blunt the United States' resolve.
"They're trying to shake our will; they're trying to get us to retreat from the world. America will not retreat. America will not be intimidated by these kinds of extremist thugs," Mr Bush told reporters.
In New York, UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan offered his sympathy to Mr Johnson's family, declaring: "These kinds of brutal acts do not help anybody."
In his home town in New Jersey, Mr Johnson's mother, siblings and son grieved in private yesterday, leaving an FBI agent to read a statement in which the family said authorities had done everything within their means to rescue him.
Muqrin's group - the Organisation of al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula - had admitted responsibility for Mr Johnson's beheading, saying it was in revenge for the US-led war in Iraq and the Abu Ghraib prisoner-abuse scandal.
The group warned that other Americans could suffer a similar fate.
An Islamist website showed three pictures of what appeared to be Johnson's severed head. One showed the bloodied head with a knife leaning on the face.
A hooded man purported to be Muqrin, in black garb and clutching an AK-47 rifle, appeared on the site last week saying al-Qaeda would kill Mr Johnson unless authorities released jailed militants within 72 hours. The Arabic script read: "Get the infidel out of the Arab land."
Muqrin took over the leadership of Saudi Arabia's al-Qaeda terrorist network in March this year after the previous leader was killed in a gun battle with security forces.
A long-standing associate of Osama bin Laden, he oversaw his own terrorist network in Saudi Arabia.
Muqrin had praised the killing of Westerners, including the attack in the Saudi city of Yanbu last month, the killing of a German in Riyadh two weeks ago and an attack on US military personnel last Wednesday.
Malazz had been the focus of a huge security search after Mr Johnson was kidnapped and militants shot dead US contractor Kenneth Scroggs last Saturday.
One source said scores of suspected militants had been arrested in the past week.
Mr Scroggs, an American who worked for Advanced Electronics, which manufactures military and commercial electronic products, was gunned down outside his villa.
Earlier, Saudi television broadcast a tearful call for mercy in broken English from Johnson's Thai-born wife, Thanom.
Abdulaziz al-Muqrin who Saudi police shot dead.
Nuke em all and let Allah (God, Jehovah, Elohim, whaddaeveryacallhimorher) sort them out.
We should kill more of them everytime they kill one of ours,even if we have to drag them out of prison cells to do it.
Untill Saudia Arabia stops the Mosques in the U.S. from teaching the Wahabi philosophy we will not be safe. All of the problems with terrorism stem from Saudia Arabia and we better start to understand it.
Our response from any future attack should be tenfold against the Saudi's. We should put them on notice that unless they talk a different talk and walk a different walk, WE WILL hold them responsible.
we need to see photos like uday and kusay after they were killed. full face pix. not just unrecognizable bodies
So we end up killing off all the Saudis who will even talk to us, do you then propose genocide?
Does this suffice?
thank you. That's more like it,
they say they killed them??????
Funny how the Saudis never take prisoners? The left would never allow that here.
They claim the beheading was prompted by our failure to release some of their Islamofascist brethrem who are being held in prison. I think they ought to release all the Al-Qaeda terrorists who are currently being held. Before they are released, however, we should inject them with a nice, fatal, highly contagious disease. It's the same way they poison insects, and the poisoned ones bring death to their fellow insects. The parallels are obvious.
For every hostage they sacrifice on their alter for their god,
-kill ten of their Al-Queda prisoners.
- and garnish with pork.
"He's DEAD Jim!"
If/when this happens, I say we turn a blind eye, shake our heads and cluck, "Those Saudis. They sure have some brutal traditions."
Dead men tell no tales?
My opinion?
Al-Muqrin's capture by U.S. Intel would have implicated Saudi higher-ups already knee-deep.
Shouldn't it be mind over mater?
Great minds...;-)
Not funny. The information they had was crucial, and died with them.
How about we just inject a GPS thingy in them; then maybe we can find a whole bunch of them at one time!
The Saudis have been responsible for too much bad stuff to be believed here. The Saudi princes, semi-savages all, may not have taken a active role in world kerrorism, but certainly have been passive and stood idle when they should have acted and ceratinly have funded bad things. They have given cash to specific mullahs for, they say, one purpose, and the bad guy has used it for another. Who funded all those 9-11 Saudis?
Unfortunately, if the flow of oil stops from Saudi Arabia, there will runaway inflation and then a worldwide depression. The world's economy runs on oil, a huge amount of which comes from that stinking country.
When Isreal did this it stopped much of the suicide bombings.
AMericans underestimate the peer pressure from family, because our family links are not as strong...
Good idea! Hey, let's do both. Operate on them, insert a homing device and inject smallpox or cancer or AIDS. (Seriously, this line of reasoning seems to have potential. Maybe some CIA lurkers will pick up on it. )
Only after we have humanly extracted all the usefull intel.
I prefer to keep them alive, at least until they can tell us everything we want to know. After that, "whatever seems right"...
As I said, nuke em all and let (insert God of your choice) sort them out...

Politics Science Idol
posted by June 29 at 12:12 PMon
The 2007 Science Idol contest from the Union of Concerned Scientists:
Recent investigations and surveys show that the censorship, manipulation, and suppression of federal government science has become pervasive in recent years. Political interference in science has hurt our air quality, allowed FDA approval of harmful drugs, and prevented the public from hearing the truth about global warming.
This spring, creative minds throughout America took the opportunity to show off their artistic and comedic talents in support of independent science by entering the 2nd annual Science Idol: the Scientific Integrity Editorial Cartoon Contest. We received hundreds of compelling cartoons and our panel of celebrity judges helped narrow those entries to 12 great finalists.
Vote for your Science Idol today and win great prizeswhile helping UCS spread awareness about the importance of independent science to our health, safety, and environment.
Vote for your favorite.

I wrote a small PHP application that I'd like to distribute. I'm looking for best practices so that it can be installed on most webhosts with minimal hassle.
Briefly: It's simple tool that lets people download files once they login with a password.
So my questions are:
1) How should I handle configuration values? I'm not using a database, so a configuration file seems appropriate. I know that other php apps (e.g. Wordpress) use defines, but they are global and there is potential that the names will conflict. (Global variables also have the same problem, obviously.) I looked at the "ini" file mechanism built into PHP. It only allows comments at the top - so you can't annotate each setting easily - and you can't validate syntax with "php -f". Other options?
2) How to handle templating? The application needs to pump out a form. Possibly with an error message. (e.g. "Sorry, wrong password.") I've have a class variable with the HTML form, but also allow an external template file to be used instead (specified in the config). I do some trivial search and replace - e.g. %SCRIPT% to the name of the script, %STATUS% to hold the error message. This feels a bit like reinventing the wheel, but including a templating system like Smarty is overkill. (Plus they may already have a templating system.) Other options?
3) i18n - There are only 3 message strings, and gettext doesn't seem to be universally installed. Is it such a bad idea just to make these three strings parameters in the config file?
4) How to best integrate with other frameworks? My app is a single class. So, I thought I could just include a php script that showed how the class was called. It would be a starting point for people who had to integrate it into another framework, but also be fine as-is for those not interested in customizing. Reasonable?
5) GET/POST parameters - Is it bad form for a class to be looking at $_GET and $_POST? Should all values be passed into my class during construction?

William à Beckett
Sir William à Beckett (28 July 1806 – 27 June 1869) was a British barrister and the first Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Victoria.
Born in London, he was the eldest son of William à Beckett, also a solicitor.[1] His younger brothers were Gilbert Abbott à Beckett, one of the original staff of Punch magazine and the author of 'Comic History of England', and Thomas Turner à Beckett (13 September 1808 – 1 July 1892). He was educated at Westminster School, publishing a youthful volume of verse, The Siege of Dumbarton Castle, in 1824. In 1829 he was called to the bar by Lincoln's Inn.[1]
In 1837, à Beckett migrated to New South Wales and edited the 'Literary News', a short-lived newspaper. He was appointed acting solicitor-general for the colony in March 1841, and solicitor-general in March 1843. In July 1844 he became an acting judge, and was made a full puisne judge.
In January 1846, he was transferred to the Court of the Resident Judge, the branch of the Supreme Court of New South Wales in Melbourne and sat as primary judge in equity. Following his appointment, he was created a knight bachelor.[1] When in January 1852 the separate colony of Victoria was proclaimed he became its first Chief Justice.
He returned to Melbourne in December 1854 in time to participate in the Eureka Stockade trials. Although often accused of the inflammatory comments at the trial of the arsonists of the Eureka Hotel, it was the actually the Acting Chief Justice Redmond Barry who sparked the Eureka uprising.[citation needed] À Beckett retired as Chief Justice in 1857 due to poor health, and in 1863 he returned to England.
Politically conservative, à Beckett was strongly opposed to the social disruption caused by the Victorian Gold Rush and under the pseudonym 'Colonus' espoused his views in an influential pamphlet somewhat cumbersomely entitled Does the Discovery of Gold in Victoria Viewed in Relation to its Moral and Social Effects as Hitherto Developed Deserve to be Considered a National Blessing or a National Curse? late in 1852. He presided over a number of important trials including the robbers of gold from the barque Nelson in Hobson's Bay in 1852, but growing disillusion with the state of society in Victoria saw him leave for England with his family in February 1853.
He wrote a number of books, including several volumes of his poetry, and a manual for magistrates of the Court of Petty Sessions, the predecessor of the Magistrates Court of Victoria.
À Beckett married firstly Emily Hayley in 1832. She died on 1 June 1841 and he married secondly Matilda Hayley, her sister, in 1849. They had 13 children, probably some from Emily.[citation needed] À Beckett died in London on 27 June 1869 and was buried in West Norwood Cemetery. He was survived by four sons, of whom William (1833-1901) married Emma Mills (1838-1906), the daughter of a convict who later founded a brewery in Melbourne. Their daughter Emma Minnie Boyd, a successful painter, married another painter Arthur Merric Boyd, to found the artistic Boyd dynasty. His nephew Thomas à Beckett, son of his brother Thomas, was also a puisne judge in Australia.

text: Posted March 6, 2013 Very little. The reality is policies and laws have been written by those with money in a way that benefits them the most. I learned from my accountant that I don't have to pay taxes on any of the money I got for renting my house for the DNC because of a law called the "Augusta Rule." Basically rich people that owned property in Augusta had tax law re-written so that if you rent your home for less than 10 days per year you don't have to pay any income taxes on it...because they all make a healthy amount of money renting their homes to golfers, sponsors, etc during the Augusta National Golf Tournament. While that law doesn't contribute to the wealth inequality in the U.S. it is a very visible policy that clearly demonstrates policies put in place by the wealthy to benefit themselves. There are hundreds, thousands even, of other, lesser visible policies that have allowed the richest people in the country to vastly increase their wealth in the last 30 years. I'm not sure how you fix the problem though and I'm not going to pretend like I have the solutions. maybe do as much as possible to remove the ability to use taxation as a punishment/reward depending on the situation or behavior? nah, we need to give government more control so they can continue to play favorites as far as the rich getting richer, and the poor getting poorer, i see too many broke motherfugers with a 300$ cell phone and a 75$ a month bill as well as 200 cable channels, brand new vehicle, and internet to buy that load of poo plenty of people made it without being born with a silver spoon in their mouth, and plenty of those that were ended up broke Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

East Syracuse couple raises $12,620 for Children's Hospital at University Hospital
By asking area businesses, friends, neighbors and coworkers and by holding a three-day garage sale, Linda and Floyd Miller of East Syracuse raised over $12,000 for the Central New York Children's Hospital at University Hospital. The Millers raised the money as part of the Miracle Ride, an annual motorcycle rally that benefits the Children's Miracle Network and this year supported the Central New York Children's Hospital at University Hospital. The Millers, who are members of the Gold Wing Road Riders Association, participated in the May 16 rally around Oneida Lake rally.
"Asking corporations and individuals for contributions isn't easy," said Toni Gary, director of the Central New York Children's Miracle Network, "but the Millers have shown how it can be done with great success. We are extremely grateful for their efforts on behalf of children throughout Central New York."
Linda Miller said the support she received from her coworkers in the East Syracuse Minoa School District and from others around town was overwhelming. "People were very willing to donate, because of the importance of having a children's hospital in our community," she said. "No one can control the health of our children, but with a new hospital and staffing to increase research maybe our children can lead healthy, normal lives and we can find cures for the diseases that take our children."
The Millers fundraising power helped the Miracle Ride raise record contributions of more than $81,000, up from $52,000 raise last year.

Released: Sep 01st, 2001
Running Time: 60
Director: Marshall Moorehead
Company: London Enterprises Video
Cast: Jacklyn Lick, Rachel Paine, Lady Olivia Outre, Ashley Renee
Critical Rating: AAAA
Genre: Specialty
A hot tape for those who like mean mistresses.
In a post-war beauty pageant, the mean German lady (Lady Olivia Outre) gets the best of three lovely American gals. In three scenes of Kraut domination, she turns Miss Ohio, Miss Detroit, and Miss Texas into sniveling, moaning piles of well-shaved flesh. In addition to her bitchy personality, she utilizes whips, clothespins, and a large black strap-on dildo (not shown penetrating the women, though this is inferred). The chemistry between Outrea and the other women is top-notch and very hot. The dialogue, which includes tips for pageant competitors, is tongue in cheek and surprisingly funny.

It is a very effective piece of work, and well executed. The choice of music was excelent and the style brilliant. Some points didn't work for me, like the nudity all the time, which to my sick and twisted mind made me laugh when the bloke jumped off the cliff naked.
The blue skin worked for somereason, as if he was suffocating.
This is brilliant, and I respect anyone who works with Radiohead music, as I do :)
Great work.
Wow, great work. You took Radiohead's Street Spirit and made it your own. And even if the lyrics are not essentially about suicide, you made it fit perfectly with the animation. When watching this movie I thought, what are all the good things I could list in my review, but there's far too many. So I think it would be constructive to list the not bad points, but the points which would make this movie perfect in it's Genre.
The first thing, Sound Compression. I know that with Music Videos the sound does have to be of a reasonable quality, but mess around with it until u can get the smallest size/good quality possible. if you've done that then disreguard this point.
the next thing is lots of motion tweening and fading out (no pun intended lol) happening at once. it does cause the animation to jump n get laggy. That could be just my computer, but it's always worth taking note of these things.
the final thing is just a basic point, some of the animation looked a lil bit weird (jumping off the cliff and getting into a weird angle) but that's minor.
overall, Fantastic movie. well done
That was a good movie it was so good i watched it over and over. :-D
I`m not a big fan of Radiohead but!....you managed to make a friggen amazing little movie!
really cool
Cry Baby Cry
Hey, I love Radiohead as much as the next person, but give me a fuckin' break. This is some gothic, whiny, angst-ridden shite. The part when he ripped his own heart out had me in tears...from laughter. CLICHE after CLICHE...

St. Louis is an independent city in the U.S. state of Missouri.
The city contributed to the musical styles of blues, ragtime, and jazz. The St. Louis Cardinals, one of the most successful Major League Baseball teams, make their home at Busch Stadium. Other professional teams include the St. Louis Rams (football) and St. Louis Blues (hockey). A diversity of successful sports franchises has led to St. Louis being called "North America's Best Sports City." The city's many 19th-century breweries shaped beer in the United States, most notably Anheuser-Busch, Falstaff Brewing Corporation, and Lemp Brewery. The vestiges of French and Spanish colonization make St. Louis one of the largest centers of Roman Catholicism in the United States.

Slides from 2007 on the design and evaluation of Anti-Phishing Phil, a game that teaches people how to avoid phishing attacks.
In this paper we describe the design and evaluation of Anti-Phishing Phil, an online game that teaches users good habits to help them avoid phishing attacks. We used learning science principles to design and iteratively refine the game. We evaluated the game through a user study: participants were tested on their ability to identify fraudulent web sites before and after spending 15 minutes engaged in one of three anti-phishing training activities (playing the game, reading an anti-phishing tutorial we created based on the game, or reading existing online training materials). We found that the participants who played the game were better able to identify fraudulent web sites compared to the participants in other conditions. We attribute these effects to both the content of the training messages presented in the game as well as the presentation of these materials in an interactive game format. Our results confirm that games can be an effective way of educating people about phishing and other security attacks.

Vermont House advances pension forfeitureFebruary 16,2013MONTPELIER The Vermont House has advanced a proposal to block public employees convicted of certain crimes from collecting their full pensions.
The bill would allow a court to order the forfeiture of state or municipal employee or teacher pensions if a former employee is convicted of fraud or embezzlement.
Gov. Peter Shumlin made the proposal following revelations last year that a long-time Vermont State Police employee, Sgt. James Deeghan, had been padding his overtime reports.
Deeghan recently pleaded guilty and faces up to two years in prison and the repayment of more than $200,000 from his pension over six years.
Pensions typically are based on a persons last three years of income. The legislation would guard against pensions being paid out when that income was improperly inflated.MORE IN This Just InLOS ANGELES As throngs of Pokemon Go players traipse around to real-world landmarks in...

I puchased a room thru Expedia to stay the night, which was a bit of a mistake because when I had checked out the Radisson web site the cost was the same, however it was just more convienient for me to book through my expedia app. Just note that when you do this you don't get any kind of rec't from the desk and, if you want to complain - like I almost did - it gets complicated. I also think that I got a bit of a crappy room because it was booked through expedia but who knows. I stayed in a kind standard room and it was room 425 which happens to be RIGHT next to or behind the elevator. Yes, you can hear the elevator. I thought about complaining before I went to bed but when you have the air on or tv it isn't as easy to hear - but I also don't have mouse earring AND I wasn't doing anything critical the next day so I was laid back about it. However, I did consider complaining and maybe changing rooms. Turns out I just got so tired I fell asleep (days without sleep, though) and it was fine. The bed was comfortable and really so was everything else. The room and furniture are older, I didn't have a sleep number bed and it was really comfortable, and I liked the blankets and little touches like a bunch of pillows and a table in the room, etc. There was a fridge also and couch and small coffee maker, etc. The TV is good, I didn't mess with it a whole lot and there aren't a ton of free channels but it was fine. I was only in the lobby for a bit and had a smooth and nice check in. I had to ask a lot of questions about shuttle (which was free and GREAT) and food and stuff - it is always nice when the front desk volunteers info but to be fair there was a lot of folks down there and he seemed busy. I also inquired about a small discount because of a connection to Radisson but I didn't get it because the hotel was busy (boo). I didn't see or use anything related to food or working out in the hotel - I basically just went straight to my room. I did order Thai food thru 24/7 app and it was great! There are restaurants a short walk away, though, so no stress if you don't have a vehicle. I didn't ask about amenity shopping and didn't see stores but there might be some within a mile walk. Rooms were clean. Again, I think my room was most likely one of the old crappy ones and I'm not excited it was given to me. I also think that there should be disclosure - if a hotel is going to put you RIGHT next to an elevator I think that should be told upfront. Not all of us are jerks and will complain - and honestly, it was fine for me.
Ok - thats it! I paid about 160-170. Oh, they have NO complementary food. That is really silly in this day and age to at least not have a small continental available. Free Wi-Fi and it was fine. I chose this hotel purposely to be next to Reagan Airport.

(May 24, 2006 - Chicago, Il) Dan Miller, former publisher of three of The Heartland Institute's monthly publications, will be inducted into the Chicago Journalism Hall of Fame on June 23. The honor is being bestowed upon Miller and eight others journalists by the International Press Club of Chicago.
Miller served as publisher at The Heartland Institute from 1998 to 1999, when he left to become business editor of the Chicago Sun-Times, one of the nation's largest-circulation daily newspapers. Prior to joining Heartland, he served as chairman of the Illinois Commerce Commission from 1994-1998, and before that as editor and associate publisher of Crain's Chicago Business, which he helped launch in 1978. He began his career in journalism as a reporter for the now-defunct Chicago Daily News.
"The Heartland Institute was extremely lucky when Dan chose to come here for a year and help us relaunch several of our monthly newspapers. Not only did our publications benefit from his experience and real wisdom, but everyone in the office benefitted from his leadership. His imprint is still on everything we do here. He taught us how to become real journalists, editors, and publishers. And he was a delightful person to work with."
Heartland's event planner, Nikki Comerford, was hired when Miller was publisher and recalls how honest and straightforward he was. "He kept asking me if I was sure I didn't have a problem working for libertarians," Comerford joked. "He was really a terrific guy and knew what he was doing."
The Heartland Institute is an independent, nonprofit, and nonpartisan research organization based in Chicago. It now publishes five monthly publications with a combined circulation of 160,000 and will launch a sixth publication, for college and university trustees, in July.

Full Title
SLU Aqua Institute of Freshwater Research National register of survey test-fishing - NORS
Standardized test-fishing with Nordic multi-mesh gillnets is a widely used method in Sweden to investigate the fish fauna in a lake. In 2005 the method became an European standard (EN 14757). Standardized test-fishing catch most of the Swedish species in a representative way, giving a good estimate of species abundance and size distribution. The results are generally used for purposes of environmental protection and fishery management. NORS consists of thousands of test-fishing occasions back to the 1950's. The Department of Aquatic Resources (SLU Aqua) at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences is responsible of collecting and checking test-fishing data generated in national and regional environmental programs, on behalf of the Swedish Agency for Marine and Water Management. SLU Aqua also collect test-fishing data from several other types of investigations in order to create a database as representative as possible. The purpose is to facilitate obtaining data of high quality for research, national investigations and reports. The database also serves as a reference for local and regional investigations. All data is available for the public.

Just as the presidential election isn't really a national election, but instead a series of closely contested elections in a handful of swing states, so it is with baseball's pennant races.
This isn't 1968 anymore, when the phrase "post-season'' didn't exist and finishing first was a ticket to the World Series. Though baseball thankfully hasn't watered down its playoffs like other sports, there are four spots in each league to be won -- three division winners and a wild-card spot.
That means there's eight separate races to analyze, with some crossover element (it's possible to be in contention for both a division title and a wild-card destination).
We've ranked all eight of the races, from closest to all-but-over.
Three teams are separated by 1½ games. Extend the net a little further, a fourth team (Cleveland) sits 5½ back.
And here's the thing. Thanks to the jumbled AL West, the identity of the top teams can change in a day or two. Sure, the Oakland A's are leading the division now and not even listed among the wild-card entrants. But a sweep at the hands of Texas or Anaheim could drop the A's out of the division perch and have them soon trailing in the wild-card race. It's that close.
If you give an edge out West to Oakland and concentrate on Texas, Anaheim and Boston as the principal players, the Red Sox have the advantage. No other team can top the Red Sox's 1-2 combination of Curt Schilling and Pedro Martinez, who've combined for more wins (27) than any two teammates in either league.
Better than 2½ weeks after The Trade, the Red Sox are finally comfortable with their lineup and reflect the expected defensive upgrade. Two major concerns: Injuries and the bullpen.
But Manny Ramirez and David Ortiz may be good enough to shoulder most of the offensive load, and if the Sox can get Mike Timlin straightened out, they could have enough to hold everybody else off.
Anaheim and Texas could beat each other up a bit with head-to-head play in the final month. Anaheim has better balance, a deeper relief corps and playoff experience from two years ago. A key will be whether the Angels' veteran starters (Bartolo Colon, Kelvim Escobar) can step up in September.
The Rangers continue to club opponents into submission, but must make do without a front-line starting pitcher. They haven't wilted from the Texas heat yet and it's mid-August, but that could still exact a toll in the final month.
After a time in which it seemed like everyone was going to be in contention for the wild card, some separation has taken place in the National League.
Gone from the party are the Houston Astros, Cincinnati Reds and New York Mets. If they're not careful, the Florida Marlins and Philadelphia Phillies might be next.
For now, this is essentially a three-team scrum: San Francisco, Chicago and San Diego.
Despite their injuries and underachieving ways, the Cubs should be the favorites. No one -- not even any of the division leaders -- can touch Chicago's rotation, especially now with Mark Prior and Kerry Wood healthy again.
Plus, the addition of Nomar Garciaparra to the lineup has given the Cubs one more run producer -- a good thing with Sammy Sosa as unproductive as he's been.
The Giants might just be able to be carried by arguably the two most dominant players in the league -- Barry Bonds and Jason Schmidt. But will Bonds be pitched to with games -- and the season -- on the line? And even if Schmidt's groin pull isn't serious, what sort of help will he get from the rest of the rotation?
Finally, there's the Padres, who, while deep, are without the kind of players who can take over and will them to the post-season for the first time since 1998.
The schedule will provide some breathers with intra-division games against the lowly Rockies and Diamondbacks, but six games with the Cardinals in September won't help the cause.
This has the potential to be one of the most fascinating finishes in a division since 1995, when the current set up was introduced.
Typically, the A's have hit their second-half stride and must be considered the team to beat, if only because of their starting pitching. Octavio Dotel remains an adventure in the late innings, so it's not as though the A's aren't susceptible. But they've hit better lately and that may cover up some bullpen shortcomings.
Anaheim looks to be the most balanced of three. Much will depend on Colon. If he can get on a streak and rip off, say, six or seven wins in the final month and a half, the Angels will be very tough to beat. The batting order wears down pitching staffs, and the bullpen is deep, dominant and playoff-tested.
Texas is the one team which no one can quite figure out. They weren't supposed to hang around the race this long, but they've shown no evidence that they're going to fade.
Doubts continue to hang over the pitching staff -- can Francisco Cordero be counted upon? Is Kenny Rogers capable of carrying them in September? -- but Buck Showalter and Orel Hershiser have worked magic to this point.
By salvaging the final game of last weekend's series with the hard-charging Cleveland Indians, the Minnesota Twins bought themselves a little breathing room in the division.
A sweep by the Tribe would have knotted the teams at the top of the division. Instead, Minnesota maintained its slim edge, then started building it back up again.
The Indians are considerably ahead of schedule. Merely coming close to a .500 season would have been progress enough for them this season. Instead, the Indians have mashed their way into contention and are assured of playing meaningful games in September, giving their young players invaluable pennant-race experience.
But there are still questions about the Tribe's pitching, and the Twins have won two straight division titles, providing them with a significant edge down the stretch.
If the Twins stumble at all, however, the Indians will be poised to pounce. Thanks to a scheduling quirk, the teams play 10 times over the final six weeks, including seven times in the last 11 days of the season.
The Chicago White Sox remain nominally in the race, but without the bats of Frank Thomas or Magglio Ordonez, or much consistency from their rotation, it's hard to see them overtaking two teams.
For a period of more than a month, the Dodgers were hottest team in the National League. Then, when GM Paul De Podesta gambled at the trading deadline by dealing Paul Lo Duca and others in a deal with Florida, L.A.'s run was supposed to stop.
The Dodgers have cooled some, but their lead remains healthy, and there's little to suggest that their division-lead is in any sort of imminent jeopardy.
The Giants have only recently settled on their closer with less than two months to go, and the rotation -- beyond Schmidt -- lacks consistency. Schmidt's groin pull, meanwhile, could pose bigger problems.
As for the Padres, they may be a year ahead in their rebuilding, having faded some in the second half. Unlike the Giants, they lack a dominant No. 1 starter who can stop losing streaks and extend winning runs over the final six weeks.
The chasers will have their chances in the final month or so, with both the Giants and Padres owning two series -- home and away -- with the front-runners.
Whether those will be enough to eat until the Dodgers' fairly comfortable lead is another matter entirely.
After 11 consecutive division titles, this was supposed to be the year the Atlanta Braves saw their streak come to an end.
Wait -- that was last year.
Or was it the year before?
No matter, the Braves are streaking, leaving the defending world champion Florida Marlins and Philadelphia Phillies far in their wake.
Neither the Fish nor the Phils have shown much evidence that they're capable of catching fire and overtaking the Braves, who are playing their best baseball of the season and might be the second-best team in the National League right now.
The Braves are helped by the fact that their two closest pursuers will be playing each other down the stretch, automatically pushing one even farther back in the standings.
But really, the math doesn't matter much here. The Marlins' pitching hasn't been nearly as consistent as it was over the second half of last season, and the Phils have questions everywhere you look -- from the rotation to the bullpen to the lineup.
Despite the Red Sox best intentions -- and nearly $130 million investment -- this race is effectively over.
Six games remain between the two teams in September and the Sox hold an 8-5 edge in head-to-head play. But 10 games is too much to make up on a Yankee team which has been impervious to injury.
Their lineup is relentless -- they're third in the league in runs scored despite a batting average that figures in the middle of the pack -- and starting pitching good enough.
A potential Achilles' heel -- an overworked bullpen -- now has the advantage of a double-digit lead, so that setup stalwarts Tom Gordon and Paul Quantrill can rest some.
Meanwhile, the Red Sox bullpen has questions of its own, now that Scott Williamson, their most dominant reliever, is gone for the year with a ruptured elbow ligament.
A seventh straight division title for the Yanks seems virtually guaranteed.
The Cubs thought they might be in dogfight with the Astros for the NL Central crown. Instead, they're hopelessly behind the St. Louis Cardinals who have constructed the largest cushion of any division leader and threaten to go 40 games over .500 by the end of the week.
The way the Cards are playing, they'd have to experience a fade that would put the 1964 Phillies to shame to lose their vice-like grip on first place.
Then again, maybe the schedule-makers saw this coming: despite their rivalry and shared division, the teams won't meet again this season.

I'm editing a ready-made theme and I'm trying to replace a text header with an image. I made an images directory in the theme's directory and placed the header image in there (header.jpg). For whatever reason, I can't get it to show up!
On the header PHP file, all that's there is the <div> calling for the header ID from the the CSS (as I deleted everything since I don't need it). In the CSS, I've got the following:

Even if I just call for the image using url(images/header.jpg) it still doesn't work. What's the deal?! This is killing me!

Wanaka resident Graham Dickson is concerned about the effect
of the bylaw's tighter rules and the difficulty the average
dog owner will have in interpreting them.
If approved, the bylaw would require all dogs to be under
control on a leash in all cemeteries, playgrounds and other
public places, except areas designated by the council as dog
exercise areas - of which there are none at present - and in
the rural general zone.
The rule would apply to parts of public walking tracks and
some reserves, which are both areas where the district's dogs
can lawfully be off their leash at present under the existing
QLDC Dog Control Bylaw 2006.
''I'd have to look at a zoning map to find out where the
rural general was ... how are people meant to possibly
know?'' Mr Dickson said.
The bylaw's ''arbitrariness'' meant areas like Pembroke Park
and the Wanaka Showgrounds were in the zone so would not
require dogs to be on a leash, but reserves within
residential zones such as Lismore Park and Kelly's Flat
QLDC regulatory manager Lee Webster said the council would
use signs and possibly a map attached to the bylaw to educate
dog owners about prohibited or restricted areas.
The amended dog control policy and bylaw was drafted
following community consultation earlier this year via an
online survey.
Of the nearly 1000 survey respondents, 56% said there should
be no restrictions on where dogs were allowed, while the rest
believed dogs should not be free to roam.
Of those wanting restrictions, most said dogs should be
either on a lead or banned altogether from schools,
playgrounds and cemeteries.
Although 53% said verbal control over dogs on council-owned
reserves and public walking tracks was sufficient, 41.5%
thought a lead was necessary.
''What we were trying to get was the balance between, yes,
people wanted to be able to run their dogs, but also the fact
that when there's a lot of people around we want those dogs
to be on a lead rather than just under voice control,'' Mr
Webster said.
On average, the council received ''one or two'' complaints
about dogs attacking other dogs each month, which the tighter
controls aimed to address.
However, Mr Dickson said keeping a dog on a leash did not
guarantee no problems.
''The only attack on my dog while walking on the walkway has
been from a large dog on a leash.''
He believed the new restrictions, including the
''unnecessary'' banning of dogs from schools, would severely
affect the ability to exercise dogs and ''reduce quality of
life for both dogs and owners''.
Dog control bylaw submissions close on June 30 and a hearing
is scheduled for July 17 in Queenstown.

No. In 2 years I will. I have had Pluto conjunct midheaven, moon, mercury and Neptune all at once. I'm on the way out of those. I'm in the middle of Uranus square midheaven, moon, mercury, and Neptune now. Also Pluto square ascendant.
