Special Challenge Advance
Ok I been playing all day trying to win and seems like a lot of people don't realize that everytime you take a tower slayers spawn. How hard is it for people to not run for the castle. Even when people use meteor or tornado, no one seems to help. Reg mode is a walk in the park. It's very fustratting was in all day trying to win
Truth be told, people have to be told that taking down the towers is not a good idea. I had to be told this, and after thinking about it, immediately listened to the advice.
Nothing's better then seeing like 6 slayers on a big ass map and by the time the castle is breached its pointless.
That's always been a problem when playing with random players. Be it Happy wars or another game.
There are a couple of thing that Is really anoying in the hard special challenge.
People not noticing that a slayer spawns when you destroy a tower or someone attacking a slayer when your trying to lure it in a trap.
That are some off the most fustrating things for the special challenge in my opinion.
But there isn't much you can do about it. People just won't listen.
Ya, I kind of have up on the advance mode as I rather level up to 50 then waste time tryig to get the premium items. I got the reg items so I guess that's enough.
I see it all the time, the whole team ready to attack the castle and then one player who doesn't know how it goes spawns 1-3 slayers. I've noticed too if you can get on the guns in the enemies castle and shoot the boss it's a good way to distract him to take the tower. This challenge is a shame tho how it's basically forcing you to get MVP just to get the good weapons because all I've ever gotten was 1,500 happy stars. If the thing was really random I would get something different. What's worse is the special item is right after the 1,500 stars so it's like the middle finger to you each time.
I totally agree. And one of the most under utilized feature in the game is the "RB" command. I've used it to command "This way" to stop other players taking down a tower and it fails every single time (frustrated). Also, from hundred of gameplays, I've only encountered once with random player to stand and let a slayer build gun for easy take down.
People just don't know how to play. I just met a Lvl 50 in a lobby full of under leveled players, and he wasn't doing much of anything to help me out, considering these low levels really don't know what they're doing. I can't blame them, but I can't be everywhere on the map in seconds. Just don't know how to play.

A Nightmare on Biscayne Boulevard
As Miami's 'Three Kings' Meet the Media, Questions Swirl—Has Free Agency Gone Too Far?
CORAL GABLES, Fla.—When Dwyane Wade's microphone died Monday at the University of Miami, he got two assists. LeBron James and Chris Bosh, who flanked Mr. Wade on a platform at their joint press conference, both pushed their microphones toward him. Mr. Wade thanked his new Miami Heat teammates, and more than a few members of the assembled media laughed at the cute little scene.
For those who traffic in symbolism, this was a rich moment: Look how well they play together! Such selflessness!
But for those who are more skeptical about this team and its impact on the NBA's competitive balance, the whole concept of these three stars giving an interview together in matching uniforms was a bit unnerving. Yes, this is really happening—and no, there's no turning back.
In its 64-year history, the NBA has never seen a "media day" that compares to this one. The Heat distributed 275 press credentials for Monday's event, one year after handing out 60. Satellite trucks lined the parking lot outside BankUnited Center, where the event was staged and a bank of 18 television cameras captured the proceedings. "It's not designed to go under the radar," coach Erik Spoelstra said of the team's experiment.
Mr. James, who considers himself a basketball historian, said the Heat's assemblage of talent wasn't out of line with the NBA glory years of the 1980s when the Boston Celtics and Los Angeles Lakers combined to win eight titles and turn the rest of the league into little more than background music. "You had three or four All-Stars, you had two or three Hall-of-Famers on the same team," Mr. James said.
But the situation in Miami is something different. The Celtics and Lakers assembled those teams mainly through trades and the draft at a time before the NBA had unrestricted free agency. Among their rosters—which included stars like Magic Johnson, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Larry Bird and Kevin McHale—the only big contributors who arrived as free agents were the Lakers' Kurt Rambis and Jamaal Wilkes.
The Heat, on the other hand, are a team pieced together with the active participation of the players. In a highly unprecedented move, Messrs. James, Bosh and Wade decided they wanted to play together, had a few conversations to that effect, made a few phone calls and booked their flights to Miami.
Until now, one of the benefits of free agency is that it has promoted competition by making sure no team can afford to hoard too much talent. Since it was first introduced on a limited basis in 1976, and later on an unrestricted basis in the 1980s, NBA free agency has helped fashion an environment where it's easier for more teams to achieve spurts of upward mobility.
But when Mr. James and Mr. Bosh opted to leave their respective teams—the Cleveland Cavaliers and Toronto Raptors—to join Mr. Wade in Miami, they effectively brought the era of free agency full circle. Born as an antidote to the old "option clause" that gave teams the right to keep players in perpetuity and maintain competitive monopolies, it had evolved into a mechanism that could allow the Heat to do the same thing.
"You will see a lot of teams not only trying to get one guy, but two guys," Mr. James said. "You have to compete, and you have to compete at a high level."
With the possible exception of Tiger Woods, few athletes in recent memory have faced more heat (pardon the expression) than Mr. James. He signed a six-year, $109.8-million deal with Miami one day after he announced his decision to leave Cleveland, where he'd spent the first seven years of his career, in an hour-long TV special that was widely viewed as a public relations fiasco.
Many former players, including Charles Barkley and Michael Jordan, have criticized Mr. James for joining up with other top-shelf stars instead of trying to beat them.
On Monday, Mr. James was so serious he almost seemed to glower. He said he was ready for his game to "do the talking."
Mr. James was asked Monday if the upcoming season was "championship or bust."
"Not bust," he said, "but it is championship."

My a/c went out Friday. I called Jon Wayne (bad move). They came out and said my blower motor & circuit board went out. They said it was one of the most expensive motors the had and that they recommended replace entire system for $7200 but if I wanted to replace just the blower motor & circuit board it would be $3500. Called out All Seasons a/c & heating on Sunday for a 2nd opinion. They also said it needed a blower motor and a circuit board. They were quite apologetic about the high cost of the blower motor as they too said it was one of the most expensive blower motors made. Then they informed us they could replace the blower motor and circuit board for $979.00. I strongly recommend you call Jason at All Seasons A/C & Heating (210)566-6654 if you have a problem with your unit. Jason not only fixed the A/C for $2,500 less than the competition he also took the time to explain what he had to do and why. He took a few minutes after he was done to show my wife and me some ways we could extend the life of our A/C unit. It is hard to know who to call when you have problems like this. I thought I would pass along a first hand account from a positive experience.

These guys bid on the HVAC work for my house I was building in China Grove. Out of 7 bids they gave me the best deal ($6,300). They offered to install a high efficiency unit that would meet the standards of the CPS rebate, a factory rebate (from Goodman) and a federal tax credit. They brought all the paperwork for me to fill out and helped fill it out as well. Nick and Aaron did the work for me. They were in and out in less than a day for the rough-in portion of the work. Six weeks later, they showed up for the finish and start up. They were done in less than 2 hours!! The inspector passed them and remarked on the excellent unit installed. If I ever have problems with my unit, or need a new unit installed, I'm calling All Seasons A/C and Heating. They're honest and trustworthy.
I have been a customer with Converse ac/heating for as long as I could remember, they installed my air conditioning system and what a wonderful job they did. I was scared to go up in the attic, but when I finally did I was very impressed with the work they did. It now looks beautiful in my attic, and I show everyone too! The gentleman who installed my unit were very professional and very well mannered. Converse ac has been nothing but kind to our family and home and they always will be welcomed in my home.I recommend this company to all my friends, neighbors, family and of course to you too! If you want the job done respectfully, and properly these are the people you need to talk to.

Spotlight Theaters' screens enrapture audiences with first-run movies. In each movie house, digital sounds and visual projections of fresh Hollywood films alight inner emotions of audiences resting in plush, high-backed seats—each outfitted with a coin-operated mustache comb—or thrown directly into the action through 3-D technology. As eyes and ears relish motion-picture pursuits, soda, candy, and bounties of salty, crunchy popcorn emerge from the concession stand to occupy chatty mouths or catapult towards the screen to feed the hungry actors. Front Street's brand new Spotlight Theater also houses a full-service restaurant and will soon feature themed movie-and-food pairings, such as French cuisine with French films.

The best time to register for DrupalCon Dublin is now. Earlybird discounts end July 29.
The purpose of this cookbook is to show how to create node from a excel documents via csv files.
The example we use is a list of stores with name, adress and three column to convert to terms a state,capital ubication and a kind of store column.
First thing we are going to do is make a tipically module named migratestores.
Feed Import is a module that allows you to import content into entities from various file types (like XML, HTML, CSV).
In this page we will find how to import taxonomy terms.
Whether to assign only the lowest level taxonomy term to a page, or also assign the parent terms so that they display, is a frequent issue. This snippet allows you to display a parent term of a term already assigned to your entity. Note that this is not actually a term reference, so doing this will not allow you to list this page using the taxonomy system.
But if your term reference field is called myterm (field_myterm), you can use this to display a parent term. This assumes that there is just one parent term.
To make a Content Taxonomy term sortable In a view display
Taxonomy is the practice of classifying things. In Drupal, the Taxonomy module allows you to classify your website content, and it can be an important part of your information architecture.
The first step in establishing a taxonomy is creating a new vocabulary. Next you provide the terms that fall within that vocabulary. The arrangement can be "flat," as in a tagging system, or hierarchical, with parents and children.
Here's how you might create a taxonomy for a site arranged by musical genre:
Sometimes you will want to create a "controlled vocabulary," where content authors can assign terms that have been predetermined. If so, you will need to add those terms to your vocabulary in advance.
An alternative model for organizing information is the use of "tags." User-defined tags can be added to Drupal content on the fly. In Drupal 7, a ready-to-use "Tags" vocabulary is included by default, so users can immediately begin adding tags to their content.
A better way to do this using Custom Pagers module is detailed in the Image module documentation: http://drupal.org/node/709462
The following adds a custom next_prev function to your theme template.php file that allows you to insert NEXT | PREVIOUS type links in your layout.tpl.php files. Where layout might be node.tpl.php, node-image.tpl.php etc.
In the illustrative example snippet below, a simple NEXT | PREVIOUS link is inserted into a custom node-image.tpl.php file linking to the next and previous image within that gallery (taxonomy term).
Add the custom next_prev function to your template.php file.
function next_prev for Drupal 5
function next_prev($current_nid, $type, $button_type, $label, $class) {
$tid = db_result(db_query(db_rewrite_sql("SELECT tid FROM {term_node} WHERE nid = $current_nid;")));
if (empty($tid)){ //validate that the image 'does' have a tid
return '';
switch ($button_type) {
case 'next':
$sort= 'ASC';
$case = '> ';

Poker professionals spend a lot of time on the road; the World Series of Poker is just one stop of many in a yearlong tournament schedule. The seven-week event is tough for everyone, especially because of the time spent away from family. For many, this is tilt waiting to happen. But for others, being on the road can be the closest thing to home.
When you have no family, and your previous poker career includes hitchhiking to Vancouver to risk entire paychecks in underground card clubs, this life may suit you well. When your home game was once played inside a tiny shack where the temperature dipped to 40-below, the comfortable confines of a Las Vegas poker room is a welcome relief. For one man, living in Las Vegas for a year helped him build his bankroll, find confidence, and even rediscover his family back home.
Fourteen months ago, Brad "Yukon" Booth packed up his bankroll and headed south to Sin City for the 2005 WSOP.
"It's just incredible how my life has changed; this last year has really been about development for me," Booth says. He has not returned to Canada's Yukon Territory for more than 50 days.
Booth sits in his home, which is currently a two-room suite on the 19th floor of the Rio, as he speaks about his amazing year in Vegas.
"This is a pretty sick setup," Booth tells me as he gives the grand tour. He has everything a young guy could want, including two flat-screen televisions, a dining table, a mini-fridge, and a couch. There is a Jacuzzi in the bathroom and 24-hour room service, as well as maid and laundry service.
"It's pretty cool, now that I'm actually sitting here talking about it," he says with a chuckle and a smile. "For me it's been great. I really enjoy the hotel life, because I'm single and I don't have a cat or a dog or a wife in that order."
He also enjoys it when his friends from the Great White North come to visit.
"The nicest thing for me is when I have friends in from out of town and I get to be the host," he said.
He does stick to his poker guns, though, and avoids some of the well-known Vegas pitfalls.
"When you're here, you know you can go out every single night and every single day if you want to party," he said. "I might go out once a week, so it's nothing major."
The best feature of his suite is the online poker setup, which is displayed on a huge, flat-screen television that dominates a wall in his bedroom. Between live and online cash games, he plays poker up to 16 hours a day. Booth tells me about his daily routine, while sitting in a $50-$100 pot-limit Omaha game and proceeding to win $17,000 in just over 20 minutes of heads-up play.
"What makes it for me is the convenience of just being able to go downstairs and play, take a break, go upstairs, maybe take a shower, play online just those quick little sessions to just try and build that bankroll," he said.
"My focus isn't to make myself a big-name player. It's just to live life day-to-day."
That optimistic outlook is echoed in his screen name online, "LFISGD." Booth is both outgoing and personable; talking with him was just like chatting with a poker buddy back home. He speaks in a particularly Canadian mode of speech, with a quick pace. His youth sneaks into the conversation with every "so sick" and "you know" that jumps off his tongue. This sociable personality follows Brad to the poker table and has made him a crowd favorite.
For Brad, poker is a game of people.
"My favorite part about poker is the social part. It's really being able to hang out," he said. "In the old days, you played poker with a lot of sketchy people, and nowadays in Vegas -- you know what? -- there are a lot of truly genuine, great people at the table."
He also enjoys the level playing field the felt provides for the vast collection of people who cross paths in poker.
"It's like we're all equals at the table," he said.
After the online session, Brad gazes out his window at the heart of the Strip, toward the world-famous Bellagio. He called that hotel home for over a year and has to admit it's not a bad place to live. It wasn't cheap, though.
"What my expenses were to live in the Bellagio, to play at the Bellagio, to eat at the Bellagio, to tip and stay there cost me between $22,000 and $26,000 a month. It's so expensive," he said.
At the Bellagio, he increased his bankroll, beginning at $25/$50 no-limit hold 'em and progressing to the highest stakes around, as featured on Season 2 of the Game Show Network's High Stakes Poker.
"I would love to play with those guys every day, all day. They're all very respectful and I'm respectful back, so it's real comfortable," he says of the popular show.
Many pros share the sentiment expressed by Phil Hellmuth that Booth is "the best unknown player in the world." Brad is very humble when discussing this "big" statement, but he does admit, "It's pretty cool that I'm the known-unknown."
Brad estimates that he has kept up his regimen of 16-hour poker days for about four years now.
"It's pretty monotonous; it's just kind of the same thing every day," he says.
He credits his hard work ethic in poker to growing up in Canada and has an interesting analogy to offer on the subject: "For me, poker is like back home we have a lot of people who go into mining camps. They go to mining camps for two months straight. They run 14 hours a day for two months. Then, after those two months, they get a month off and they go on holidays or invest their money or decide what to do; and it's kind of like that for me. It's just been a year and a half in a gold mine."
His year in the gold mines of Las Vegas has been about more than just poker for Brad, who has recognized a personal change as well. He's become good friends with Cirque De Soleil owner Guy Laliberté and poker legend Bobby Baldwin.
"This small-town kid is meeting all these big-time big, big-time people and being accepted into their group. That's been the craziest part for me," he says.
Brad acknowledges that the contacts and friends he has made here are an added bonus to his success on the felt.
"I established myself in the poker world and Vegas," he said. "You know, it's really built up my confidence as a person, as well."
The individual who has been the most instrumental in his transformation is Laliberté.
"When I was here, you know, I met Guy and I became good friends with Guy," Booth said. "He brought me out of my shell."
A big part of the balance that Brad has found in Vegas between poker and life has centered on enjoying shows, dinners, and spending time with his new friends.
The new life Brad discovered in Vegas encouraged him to find balance back home in Canada as well.
"For eight and a half years, after my mom passed away, I didn't talk to any of my family. I was so sad as a kid and, when I left, I moved up to this town of 650 people," says Brad.
He becomes a little more distant and his tone loses a bit of its casual edge now that we have turned to the subject of his family. This estrangement began when he discovered shortly after his mother's death that he was adopted.
"I was really sad. I felt lost, and like I had no family -- like I was just an individual on my own. Then it really clicked that I've got lots of family, these are the people who made me me," he said.
He knew it was time for a change.
So Brad traveled north to Canada, unannounced, and arrived on the doorstep of his aunt's house for Christmas Eve dinner. The holiday was shared with over 40 members of his family, including his brother, whom he flew in for the occasion, and his sister. He had not seen any of them in over eight years, so he gathered everyone together and told them, "Hey, I'm ready to accept that I have family again."
Brad returned once more to Canada this past year and invited his family to a neglected cabin at a lake for a weekend of barbecues and boating.
"It really made me truly recognize that there's more to life than just poker," he said. "After 14 years of playing poker -- and all I thought about was poker -- I really came to realize that life is about family and friends and then poker."
All good things do come to an end, and Brad does see his prolonged road trip coming to a close soon.
"It's probably a little unhealthy lifestyle, and that's why I think I'm going to get out in September," he said. "Just take a break back home and stay in a hotel six months out of the year, instead of all year."
He will sail to Italy with Laliberté, Baldwin and some other friends at the conclusion of this year's WSOP. Then it will be back to Vancouver, British Colombia, to purchase a home and spend some time with his family and friends, before he returns to the road with the World Poker Tour. He looks forward to the travel opportunities the WPT provides, as well as the lucrative cash games that accompany the tournaments. But henceforth he will balance life on the tour with life at home with his family. He will also host some charity poker events in Canada, beginning with All-In for Arthritis.
Brad offers this final reflection on his year in Vegas before I return downstairs to the tournament: "I was sort of like in hiding in the Yukon, and I finally just came out here, and, you know, I became friends with everybody here, and it built up my confidence. I guess I found myself in Vegas, of all places, and really kind of grew up in one year."
It is not without a touch of irony that this lost soul was able find himself in a town infamous for the number of dreams it has shattered. Sometimes you have to be taken out of your element in order to define yourself and those around you. Watching Brad play online in his suite and at the WSOP, one observes someone who knows exactly who he is. His outgoing friendliness and calm self-assurance are not only refreshing, but also confirm a journey of self-discovery, as well.
Post-script: Now a couple of months removed from his Las Vegas stay, Brad has recently settled down in Vancouver.
"I found a gorgeous condo overlooking the entire city. It's got a spectacular view. It's something I've been working for my entire life," he says.
He additionally purchased a summer cabin for his family. ("It's mainly for my nephews and nieces to enjoy.") He also jumped into charity work by participating in a charity golf tournament in October. Then he hosted the All-In for Arthritis charity poker game in November that benefited young children with the disease.
All of this was not before Brad enjoyed some rest and relaxation in August, during a private sailing trip in the Mediterranean. The trip also involved some serious, high-stakes, no-limit poker, and he says it was the experience of a lifetime.
"I swam and snorkeled in the Mediterranean Sea," he said. "Anything we wanted was available at the push of a button, whether it was lobster bisque or a peanut butter and jam sandwich."
Brad does remember the lessons he learned out on the road and is trying to spend less time on poker and more time with family and friends.
"Rather than sitting on the Internet playing online poker, I've been cooking and having everyone over for dinner," he said. "My pasta dish is almost perfect."
He has begun to search for answers about his past as well. He is trying to track down his biological mother by attempting to find the adoption papers.
Brad will spend Christmas with his family and continue to find balance between the two worlds that make up his life.
"I lived at the Bellagio for so long, and that was a lot of fun, but Vancouver is my home," he said.

Written like a truly insulated political creature! I've talked to a lot of West Valley residents, many of them who closely know or who have worked with Winder and not a single one of them view his actions as just "silly." More like downright dishonest and self-serving and arrogant.
If Mike offered up anything approaching a real, heartfelt apology without all the lame justifications for his behavior, maybe people would be more apt to forgive. But I'm getting the widespread sense that people are only feeling he came clean because he felt (again) that he could control the story and manipulate the media into brushing off his deception as mere "silliness."
If Mike was willing to stoop so low as to repeatedly perpetrate this fraud on his constituents, who in their right mind would trust him with even more constituents?

Traitor Legions by zuborosWatch
©2014-2016 zuboros
Some Warhammer 40K fan sketches I did, using some artistic license in my interpretations. Chaos Space Marines were my first and favourite army overall and I collected at least half of the original legions over the years in some capacity. Please let me know which helmet is your favourite!
Holy fuck, it's sooo epic! My fav would be either Death Guard or Alpha Legion!
I'd love to see whole armors! That could be really nice
I'd love to see whole armors! That could be really nice
Really love the Alpha Legion helmet.
Iron Warriors take the cake.
This is amazing! I really dig the iron warrior and the bearers
The word bearers one is one of the most popular designs, I really like the iron warriors one myself, quite halo/bungie inspired to represent their superior forges and relations with the dark mechanicus. Less devoted to the gods, but better equipped and still evil.
Wow I would so buy these
I like it .
Thankyou Have a favourite?
Favorite Legion , Alpha Legion .
Favorite helmet , Night Lords / Thousand Sons / World Eaters .
I have to say man these are badass but I believe my favourites are the Black Legion, Night Lords, Iron Warriors and the Thousand Sons helmets. Their just awesome in design and style great job. But I'm wondering are you gonna do the same thing with the Imperial Space Marines?
I certainly could do, I just did Chaos Marines here because they were my favourite army back when I still played. Thanks for the kind words
Are you gonna do the Imperial Chapters helmets or not?
I did have a go at them months ago but I thought they looked terrible. I plan to be more active with drawing when I start to get regular work shifts and I don't have to job hunt (which may be very soon now), so if you still badly want to see it I guess I will
Your welcome and I look forward to seeing the Imperial Legions.
Word Bearers! Just wow!
The two most popular among my friends seem to be the Word Bearers and World Eaters helmets, I'm glad you like
I like the Thousand Sons' and Word Bearers' helmets...
The thousand sons helmet was by far the hardest to design, took me about 3 or 4 attempts before I got it looking right because I was trying to make the armor look sealed, but still heavily magical. Thanks for the comment!
Very good ! I like iron warrior.
Thankyou, that was originally my favourite (and first collected army too) but the last one I drew was the Alpha Legion helmet and that's my favourite now

Earl Morrall, Jeff Hostetler and Tom Brady are the patron saints of backup quarterbacks.
Perhaps soon to join them is a group that has turned the 2002 NFL season into the year of the substitute.
Chad Pennington, Marc Bulger and Tommy Maddox already have stepped in to help their teams win, and next up might be Koy Detmer and Steve Beuerlein.
Those two are the most recent players boosted from second string to starter in a season that has ranged from difficult to dangerous for No. 1 quarterbacks.
By the end of this weekend's schedule, 17 teams will have made quarterback changes due to injuries or poor performances.
Detmer, with six NFL starts on his resume, and the veteran Beuerlein take over first-place teams this weekend, and all anyone expects them to do is keep winning - right into the postseason.
"It's a huge difference," said Detmer, who replaces a Pro Bowler and the Eagles' top offensive force, Donovan McNabb (broken ankle). "Now you're the guy out there trying to make things happen."
The 29-year-old Detmer hasn't made much happen in previous work for Philadelphia. A seventh-round pick in 1997, he was 1-4 as a starter in 1998. He won his only start in 1999, has thrown eight TDs and nine interceptions in six seasons, and has thrown only 17 passes since his last start.
And his first start of 2002 will be Monday night at San Francisco, hardly an enviable task.
Beuerlein, 37, has a stronger history as a starter in a 16-season career with six teams. The Denver Broncos' backup steps in for Brian Griese (knee), who could return early next month. Beuerlein missed last season with an elbow injury but was on the verge of replacing an ineffective Griese in the season opener.
Griese rallied and kept the job - until he was hurt Sunday in Seattle.
"I've been in this position so many times in my career I know how to handle it, I believe," Beuerlein said.
Beuerlein has been a starter for the Raiders, Cowboys, Cardinals, Jaguars and Panthers. He knows how to deal with big-game pressure, and the Broncos (7-3), tied for the AFC West lead with San Diego, will experience plenty of that in the next six weeks.
"I love the game, that's why I'm still playing it at my age," Beuerlein said. "I will go into this game like any other game I've gone into in the past, believing in myself, believing in my teammates and expecting to score touchdowns."
While injuries are forcing Detmer and Beuerlein to move up the depth chart, Bulger is moving down. Bulger led the St. Louis Rams back from an 0-5 start with five successive victories in place of Kurt Warner, who returns Sunday at Washington from a broken finger.
To his credit, Bulger, the league's leading passer, isn't complaining. After all, Warner is a two-time league MVP who went from Trent Green's backup in 1999 to the Super Bowl title in five months.
That began a string of three straight championships won by quarterbacks who began the year on the bench: Trent Dilfer for Baltimore and Brady for New England followed.
Bulger might not get the same opportunity - yet.
"I'm just happy to do what I did, and we have Kurt Warner coming back to be our starting quarterback," Bulger said. "I don't think anyone in this room is disappointed about that."
Kordell Stewart's return to starting quarterback probably doesn't meet with such unanimous acclaim among his teammates in Pittsburgh. Maddox, who bruised his spinal cord and sustained a concussion, got a clean bill of health Tuesday, but is listed as out for Sunday's game with Cincinnati.
Maddox, the journeyman who was the XFL's most valuable player in the league's only season, took over for Stewart in the third game. He guided the Steelers back from an 0-2 start to the top of the AFC North.
Now, it's the starter-turned-backup-turned-starter's turn again.
"Sitting on the side isn't the easiest thing to deal with," Stewart said, "but now the opportunity is here, and it's time to move on and help this team get back on the right page."
That's precisely what Morrall did for the Colts in 1968 in place of John Unitas, winning league MVP honors and the NFL championship. And in 1972, when Bob Griese was injured, Morrall guided the Dolphins the rest of the way to the NFL's only undefeated season before Griese took over in the playoffs.
Hostetler took over for injured Phil Simms and took the Giants to the 1990 championship. Dilfer was promoted in the middle of the 2000 schedule and went unbeaten as the Ravens won it all.
Then came Brady last year. And who now?
The NFL certainly isn't lacking for candidates.

Live-Blogging the Kagan Nomination Announcement
At 10:00 EDT, President Obama will officially nominate U.S. Solicitor General Elena Kagan to the U.S. Supreme Court, to fill the seat to soon be vacated by Justice John Paul Stevens. The following is our live-blog coverage of President Obama's press conference. It is anticipated that President Obama will hit the theme of bipartisanship, and may also talk about his desire to stem conservative activism — embodied in the court's January ruling which struck down certain campaign-finance limits. He may also praise Kagan's ability to understand the daily lives of ordinary Americans.
At 10:03 the presser begins to standing applause. Obama is flanked by VP Biden to his right and Solicitor General Elena Kagan, dressed in a black skirt and green blazer, to his left.
After a few words of praise for John Paul Stevens, Obama introduces Kagan. Kagan, her hands clasped in front of her, beams. The room breaks into applause.
Obama calls her a "superb Solicitor General," praises her habit of "understanding before disagreeing." He digs into her tenure as dean of the Harvard Law School, saying that she sought to reach out to conservatives while dean there.
Mets v. Yankees! Obama says Kagan's a Mets fan, something that she'll likely find disagreement with Justice Sonia Sotomayor with. Sotomayor cheers for the Yankees.
Kagan is the granddaughter of immigrants, her mother was (and two brothers are) schoolteachers. Father was a housing lawyer. Both parents took "great joy" in watching their daughter succeed.
Obama: Hope the Senate will work in a bi-partisan fashion and will confirm her quickly.
Obama signs off, turns it over to Kagan, who moves to the podium.
Kagan: "Thank you, Mr. President, I am honored and humbled."
Kagan: Court enables people of all backgrounds to get a fair shake at justice. She praises Justice Stevens.
Kagan thanks a bunch of people. She praises Abner Mikva, and Justice Thurgood Marshall, both of whom she praises. "I am proud of what all of us accomplished" at Harvard, while she was dean, she says.
Kagan thanks her brothers. "If this day has just a touch of sadness, it is because my parents aren't here to share it." They were the first in their families to go to college. "My parents lives and their memory remind me very day of the impact public service can have."
She thanks Obama, and wraps up her comments. Again, the room stands and cheers. The three — Obama, Biden and Kagan — turn and walk down the red carpet and back into the White House.
And with that. We're back to the talking heads!
One thing before signing off: Kagan is not an excessively tall woman. Obama mentioned that she'd earlier earned the nickname "Shorty," and when she stood to speak, she stepped up on risers. On CNN, after the announcement, commentator Jeff Toobin (who studied at Harvard Law alongside Kagan), referred to her height also.

What were Samsung thinking of when they designed this notebook?

Anyone upgrading from a netbook to this model would appreciate the larger screen and much better responsiveness. Samsung have also catered for both those who want a touchscreen notebook and for those who don't. They could well be watching the sales statistics with interest given Intel's view that touchscreen is the only way forward for the smaller notebooks.

what to buy
There are plenty of cooks out there who only own and use cast iron cookware and we can assure you that most own Lodge brand. Lodge out-rates and outperforms even cast-iron cookware brands costing two or three times as much. For some experts, there is no comparison even to other types of cookware -- such as stainless steel and nonstick. Of course, in spite of what they think, cast iron is not for everyone. It's very heavy, there's a learning curve to get the best results, and it requires extra care, but when cast-iron cookware is used right, there's nothing better.
Top quality in every cooking mode. In expert tests Lodge cast-iron cookware performs flawlessly, with even heat distribution, the ability to go from stovetop to oven, and superior flavor imparted to food. Owners love that they only need one set of cookware for life -- kitchen, grilling and camping -- and that it cooks equally well in any of those situations. The pre-seasoning is a huge hit; although you still have to continue seasoning and the cookware doesn't reach its top performance until it's been used for a while, it cuts down that time frame. The drawback to cast iron is that it's slow to reach cooking temperatures and, until it does, the heat isn't always even, so you have to have a bit more patience. However, once cast iron finishes cooking, it retains heat longer than other types of cookware, a very popular thing with moms who have trouble getting everyone rounded up at dinnertime.
Requires a bit more care. Lodge cast-iron cookware can't be tossed in the dishwasher, you shouldn't use abrasives to clean it, and Lodge recommends you not even use soap. It should also be seasoned after each use with a bit of vegetable oil or other fat. There's also a learning curve with cast iron, just as there is with stainless steel, to figure out how much fat is ideal and to understand how to get the best results when searing, simmering and frying. The payoff for that care and education, reviewers say, is the most flavorful results from almost anything you can think of when cooking or baking. Also, while cast iron is not nonstick, a well-seasoned pan is stick resistant. Still, unless you have something against nonstick pans, you may want to turn to one of those for cooking tasks that turn out best with a very smooth coating, like frying eggs.
It will last longer than you. If you have a Last Will and Testament, go ahead and decide who you're leaving your Lodge cookware to, because it lasts virtually forever. We're not exaggerating here; there are dozens of forum discussions where people lovingly discuss the Lodge cast iron they inherited from their grandparents or great-grandparents. We saw a few complaints from users that parts of their pans feel rough, but Lodge explains that it's a result of the sand casting process and it will become smooth with use and seasoning. Lodge cast iron is made in the USA and comes with a limited lifetime warranty.
Lodge Cast-Iron Cookware Reviews
1. Sweethome.com
Michael Zhao chooses the best skillet by hands on testing, research and speaking with experts. Ultimately, he chooses the All-Clad 12-inch Stainless Steel Fry Pan, but he also says there's a compelling case to be made for cast iron, and he lists the Lodge pre-seasoned skillet as a solid runner up.
Review: The Best Skillet, Michael Zhao, April 6, 2015
2. Cook's Illustrated
In this review, editors test eight grill pans, including Lodge brand, to see how well they perform as stovetop grills. Testing includes cooking hamburgers, and strip steaks, and grilling sandwiches and zucchini. This was not a test of the entire set, but performance can be extrapolated from the results.
Review: Cookware Sets, Editors of Cook's Illustrated magazine, Oct. 1, 2012
3. Chowhound.com
This very positive, very thorough review of the Lodge 12-inch cast iron pan gives excellent insight into how the Lodge line of cookware can be expected to perform. Editors give it 5 stars out of 5, and users are nearly as complimentary. Editors conclude this would be the one pan they would want if they were stranded on a desert island.

4. Amazon.com
Owners give this Lodge set an overall rating of 4.7 stars out of 5 in more than 980 reviews, saying it cooks evenly and keeps food hot longer, which is great when dinner is delayed. It's also versatile, they note, going from kitchen, to grill or smoker, to campfire and back to the kitchen. The main complaints we saw are that cast iron is heavy and the pans are not nonstick.

In more than 90 customer reviews the Lodge 5-piece cast iron cookware set gets a high, 4.8 stars out of 5. Owners say the set is an incredible value, and that they use the pots and pans for everything. Most say if you learn to use this set right, there is no problem with food sticking.

"Creature of Love" is also the name of the band's latest EP, which the band celebrated with a show at Mad Planet last month. And it has another cause for celebration: after winning a battle of the bands at Marquette Friday, Alchemy will get to open for buzz band Twenty One Pilots at Weasler Auditorium April 5. »Read Full Blog Post

A Bulgarian man set himself on fire in the southern town of Smolyan on Wednesday, police said, bringing to seven the number of self-immolations since February in the EU's poorest country.
Ventsislav Kozarev, 47, was hospitalised in a serious condition with third-degree burns over seventy percent of his body, Smolyan regional police chief Kiril Hadzhihristev told state BNR radio.
The official said "personal problems" were behind the desperate act as the man was divorcing his wife.
Bulgaria has seen a spate of such incidents in recent weeks amid a wave of angry and sometimes violent protests against poverty and corruption that in late February prompted prime minister Boyko Borisov to resign.
Five of the six men who set themselves on fire died. Only three of those who set themselves ablaze had voiced any political demands while the rest were reportedly driven by poverty and despair.
The small Balkan country will hold snap elections on May 12 with Borisov's GERB party tipped to win the vote but fall short of a governing majority.

SINGAPORE -- 7 February, 2006 - Symantec Corp. (NASDAQ: SYMC) today announced the release of Symantec i3 7.5 application performance management software, formerly known as VERITAS i3. The latest version of the software provides significant enhancements to enable performance problem identification, root cause analysis, and proactive management of J2EE platforms. Additionally, it extends support to the Sybase database environment, and provides customers with additional operating system and database support. As enterprises increasingly invest in business critical online applications, Symantec i3 software provides IT managers with a comprehensive set of end-to-end performance management tools that will allow them to proactively monitor, analyze, and fine-tune their applications to attain increased application transaction performance and high availability service levels for their organizations. Using Symantec i3, customers whose production environments require optimum performance levels to support high-value operations such as online banking, stock trading, or retail transactions are able to achieve measurable application performance, productivity and availability improvements that directly translate into tangible bottom-line savings.
"Maintaining optimal performance of enterprise applications has become a business-critical initiative for today's enterprises," said Brian Babineau, Enterprise Strategy Group. "Comprehensive application performance management solutions, like Symantec i3 7.5, help organizations improve business efficiency and mitigate costs by quickly identifying and resolving potential bottlenecks within an application infrastructure."
"The business impact of poor performing applications has turned into a mainstream problem for enterprises as they increasingly rely on them to drive their productivity and revenue," said Henri Isenberg, vice president, Application Performance Management, Symantec. "With the increasing demand for high application performance, Symantec is offering advanced management, monitoring and tuning features with the release of Symantec i3 7.5 to help ensure that mission critical applications perform with the fewest interruptions and with high availability."
Comprehensive Performance Management for J2EE Applications
J2EE applications require advanced monitoring, analysis and reporting capabilities to ensure performance and availability. The latest version of Symantec i3 for J2EETM builds on the strong Symantec i3 foundation to provide the following additional capabilities:
Application transaction behaviors change constantly in production environments. The unique Adaptive Instrumentation capability included in Symantec i3 for J2EETM software ensures that all of an application's "hot spots" are identified and instrumented automatically-without costly application server restarts.
Performance Management for Sybase Environments
One of the challenges that IT managers have faced to date in the Sybase database environment has been the absence of production tools that enable them to fine-tune availability and performance levels. With the introduction of Symantec Indepth for Sybase(tm), IT managers will now have the ability to ensure mission critical applications perform at peak efficiency. Symantec Indepth for Sybase(tm) provides database performance linked to applications by capturing, measuring, and correlating performance metrics from critical system components. In addition, Symantec Indepth for Sybase(tm) helps to detect and correct the root cause of performance degradation before the end-user is affected, maximizing the return on technology investment.
Leading Platform Support
Symantec i3 7.5 extends new support for operating systems (OS) and databases, offering users the ability to obtain all of the benefits of Symantec i3 regardless of which OS or database they choose. New OS support includes: Sun Solaris 10 and IBM AIX 5.3. New J2EE server support includes: IBM WebSphere 6.0, BEA WebLogic 9.0 and Apache Tomcat 5.5. New database and packaged application support includes: PeopleSoft 18.104.22.168.5, Sybase 12.5.3, and Oracle 10.1.0.49.2.0.7.

There's a modder selling 360s with XBR preinstalled and USB SPL flashers. I'm curious why a USB SPL flasher would be needed if XBR is already installed. Would there be a continuing need to dump/flash the nand once XBR is on there? I thought it could be updated via USB?
I appreciate any help understanding.
If You've Installed Xbr, Why Would You Need A Usb Spi Connection?

o my knowledge the usb spi connection makes it easier to install future upgrades xbr needs at later stages,as this is still early days it most likely will need an upgrade and with the usb spi connection means no having to open up your console like you would if you just used the lp printer cable or so i believe,if im wrong somebody please put me right
Posted 09 December 2009 - 02:28 AM
now i have updated my current dash but there is now one problem. now the console cannot read GTA 4 (backup) disk other than that it can read other backup disks.
can't remember there is so much going on underground...but i think it needs to stay attached to work....
Posted 09 December 2009 - 02:43 AM
The Flasher is good for updating the XBReboot to a newer ver, which can be anything and the usb flasher flashes the NAND faster than the standard LPT port, expecially the jasper 256/512 mb NAND. The flashing rate for my pc threw LPT is 36-38mins and a usb will be 6mins. Hope that helps,

In spite of a vast literature our knowledge of the causation of hemorrhage in the new-born is incomplete. The clinical picture varies widely in different cases. The lesions revealed by post-mortem examination are inconstant. Bleeding from the skin, the umbilical cord, the mucous membranes or the viscera — either singly or combined — is the only feature common to all cases.In addition to the general disease which may be the underlying factor in the production of hemorrhage, the ultimate cause of all persistent and uncontrollable bleeding is probably a blood or vascular change. It seems only rational to suppose that the initial bleeding is induced by a vascular lesion. The cause for the persistent hemorrhage is to be sought in some defect of the normal mechanism for the control of bleeding — the clotting of the blood.It is with this phase of the etiology of hemorrhage

Unanswered: GXT 2.2.5, drag-n-drop listener and comparator TreeStore priority
I use GXT2.2.5
I need to do some business logic with a drag-n-drop in the TreeStore. This action changes the value on what the Comparator is based on. The problem is that the sort is automatically called before the drag-and-drop event listner.
1- user drag n drop an item in the tree (this changes the order);
2- the TreeStore Comparator is called;
3- the DNDListener is called;
I wish that the Comparator was called after my DNDListener so the tree would be sort the right way.

George Will's Big Climate Change Adventure
Mitchell Anderson | February 27, 2009
By Mitchell Anderson • Friday, February 27, 2009 - 10:43
This week Andrew Revkin of the New York Times lumped Al Gore in with George Will in an article on the dangers of climate change hyperbole.
Fair enough, if it were true.
Instead his article seems yet another example of how those trying to educate the public about global warming are held to a different standard in the media than so called "skeptics" – who often regurgitate long-discredited myths about climate science with apparent impunity.
Mr. Will's article is an excellent case in point, containing a smorgasbord of the usual climate falsehoods that seem to crop up in the mainstream media like mushrooms. George Monbiot slams the claims in Will's piece, pointing out the myths about global cooling, sea ice and global temperatures are not only at odds with the latest science, they are so ludicrous they almost deserve a laugh track.
Yet Mr. Will, like many so called "skeptics", does not typically have to defend his claims. His job as a columnist is to be "provocative". The individual errors can be discredited but like mushrooms, they can crop up again in the media for years to come.
Gore on the other hand, has devoted his life of late to raising awareness of climate change and arguably knows his material as well as many researchers. He also knows that his famous powerpoint presentation is constantly examined under a microscope for potential inaccuracies by the climate denial industry.
How these two reacted to the latest criticism is also telling. Gore pulled the slide in question linking extreme weather events to climate change and instead substituted data from the insurance industry - which seems utterly convinced of the link between climate change and expensive weather disasters.
George Will was not so responsive. According to the prestigious journal Nature, the Washington Post "repeatedly swatted away calls to issue a correction" on the many errors in Mr. Will's piece.
Must be nice to never have to say you're sorry.

Study Shows Linux at 30% of Netbook Market
After Asus added Windows XP to its netbooks, euphoria in the Linux camp soon abated. However, it proved to be a misplaced hangover.
"High return rates, little market share": the scare tactic Microsoft used in the spring of 2009 to declare Linux dead in the water in the netbook market. But what might be true for the U.S. doesn't hold for the European and worldwide market as a whole.
Not only did Dell repeatedly confirm that it found no higher a return rate than Windows for its 30% Ubuntu-installed netbooks, a new independent study by the ABI Research firm forecasts a 32% market share for Linux on netbooks for 2009.
Eric Lai of ComputerWorld perused the cost-based study and spoke with its leader, analyst Jeff Orr. Orr even predicted that ARM processors becoming more popular might drive Linux to overtake Windows in the netbook market by 2013.
According to Lai, Microsoft also revised its earlier claim of a 96% ownership of the market. Microsoft's statement now says, "over 93% of worldwide small notebook PCs run Windows today."
