ø Friend+oocTrying to answer a bunch of questions here; if I missed yours I apologize and please remind me, eh?
HMG: Yes, Mikara's passive perception beats the gnome's stealth roll, and she can read the sblock (which I botched the formatting of, sorry) that says what square he's in. I think only Hacker doesn't have enough PP to check it. As for its stealth before the beginning of combat, I could handwave that and mumble something about taking 10 and circumstance bonuses for you guys talking, but really it's more about Rule of Cool. I could have gone to the trouble of tweaking his stealth skill to make sure that taking 10 beat your passive perceptions, but what's the point? In designing the encounter I wanted him to be hidden at the start, so he was.
KenHood: I make the Concerted effort bonus to be +2 now. Atreus and Tristan aren't targets for the spell, since you didn't have LOE to them at the time of casting. Woe's hit from Blunder doesn't add to the bonus, since "Whenever a target hits with at least one attack during his or her turn, the bonus increases by 1". I don't think that affects any of the attacks made so far, though.
Dunamin: I think your math is right, the human w/halberd drops. As for disarming or sundering weapons... You can use minor actions to pick up unattended objects, such as the weapons of unconscious enemies, or move actions to kick them away. Or you can attack the weapon to attempt to sunder it according to DMG p.65, but that seems likely to be a waste of a standard action. For instance, a halberd as a medium sized item would have AC 5 and 20 HP (if you attack the wood part; 60 if you attack the head.)

The hideous wolf-beast that is Kathalia pads toward the dwarf with terrifying speed, swiping with her paws before rushing headlong toward the elf, chomping and cutting in a horrific display. Her prey are left reeling from the ferocity of her attack, while some part of Mikara finds the display strangely comforting.
// Move to O7 the smart way (no opp attack). Predators flurry on dwarf misses, then shift 4 squares west for second attack hits elf for 10 damage. Going to burn elven accuracy and reroll attack against the dwarf - it hits.(Looking up the original roll the damage was 8 against the dwarf). Because she hit with Elven accuracy, Mikara spends a surge (no extra healing though). Both targets are dazed till end of K's next turn.
She lets out a horrific wail, striking terror into the dwarf nearby
// Minor action - use armor power to give dwarf -2 to attack until end of Kathalia's next turn

OOCOh yeah. I forgot. Sorry. Guess the girl doesn't know her own strength.OOCYep. Don't mess with Mik!OOC...and none too soon. Thanks for the 8 points. I was debating whether or not to spend the AP on SW or the C&R. Glad it turned out this way. One down, 4 to go!CovThanks for clarification on the Gnome's location. I retconned the movement to avoid an OA. I didn't quite decipher the sblock until you mentioned it. I just didn't want to end up next to the guy.

On the other hand, we could just say they've been knocked out so thoroughly that the elf can't rescusitate them mid-battle, or something to that effect.

What the hells? Woe thinks back over his recent skirmishes. Its almost like cosmic forces conspire in every battle to give me warm loving embraces with the ground.
So now it seems I am to spend more time horizontal than not, on the battlefield as well.
The warrior pushes himself up from the ground and clears his throat. He dusts a few specks off his shoulder while leaving the larger layers of dirt.
Hey, Azer-Imitator, he calls out the dwarf. You know what they say about dwarves that play with fire... They learn to shave.
Woe spins his shield like a discus while the dwarf mulls over his words, sending it flying at a low turning angle and catching his opponent off-guard. It impacts solidly with the dwarfs chin, cutting through a patch of beard to give him a comically exaggerated cleft chin.
Oh. Wait, wait, wait... I was supposed to shout "Catch!" there, wasnt I?
Move: Stand up.
Standard: Attack dwarf with throwing shield. Hit it for 10 damage (marking).
Minor: Kick the torch to M12 if possible. if not, have a miserable Active Perception check.
Too bad Woe cant exploit Concerted Effort more. With the current setup its not worth spending an Action Point.

Round 1, continued
Hacker pulls himself to his feet and expresses his contempt for the armored human in typical style. He weaves a pair of powerful spells with his music, bolstering his allies and sending the human staggering ineptly into the point of Woe's spear, drawing a bloody wound.
Round 2
Mikara takes advantage of the human's stumble, filling his back with four well-placed arrows that punch easily through the armor. Though strong, the human warrior sways and crashes to the ground, bleeding freely.
Atreus finishes his circuit of the building, emerging behind the elf. His power pulses, reeling her into the shadows. He raises his brutal axe, smiling in anticipation.
Tristan unleashes a flurry of blows at the hobgoblin. Most of his attacks only send wood flying from the deck supports of the house, but two of them land, opening bleeding rents in the hob's thick hide. But Tristan does not emerge from the exchange unscathed; the hobgoblin's sharp tusks find purchase, tearing away a flap of his skin.
Kathalia pounces on the dwarf, snarling and snapping, but due to a last-second glance back at the dangerous human, Kathalia just misses. Undeterred, she spring away, landing with staggering force on the elf's back and dazing her.
Woe stands and nonchalantly hurls his shield at the dwarf. His aim is true, and the dwarf glares malevolently at the warrior, spitting teeth.
The elf, staggering, whirls and manages to stab Kathalia with her spear. She looks despairingly toward the fallen human, but cannot come to his aid.
The dwarf mutters another spell, and grins a bloody grin at Woe as it takes effect. At first nothing happens, but then a horrible stench billows out from behind Hacker and Woe, choking their lungs and making their eyes water so badly that they cannot see for crucial seconds.
The gnome rises from his hiding spot, firing two quick shots at Hacker. The first misses, but the second arrow takes him right below the rib cage, sending him to the ground, unmoving.
oocQuestions and meta stuff:
First, sorry for the delays. I should be back to a roughly normal (full) schedule now.
Second, healing from Fires of Life saves: Yes, I'd forgotten that, thanks for the reminder. Alas, nobody within 5 squares of the bad guys was injured at the time they saved.
Third, regarding flavor for knocking them unconscious: Who says they're going to stay unconscious? I've got a healer in play. You guys wouldn't want me to disarm you when you got dropped mid-fight, I imagine.
Now for the round itself:
Hacker stands, designates the human as his prey, uses Concerted Effort followed by Blunder, which hits for 13 and grants Woe a BMA, which hits for 7 damage and marks the human. (Note that concerted effort and Blunder both give power bonuses, which don't stack. Doesn't matter this time, though.)
Mikara fills the human full of arrows, hitting 4 times for 58 damage. (Note that your 2d0 came out as 2, not 0.) The human drops, dying (but not dead since there's a healer in play). Mikara's move doesn't provoke (the goblin is 20' up and has a ranged weapon, among other reasons) and she is hidden from all but the hobgoblin.
Atreus moves to L2. This move is a bit problematic, stealth-wise, since he doesn't end the move with improved cover or total concealment from the elf, but again it doesn't matter, executioner's noose still hits, and your stealth is blown from the attack anyway. The elf is pulled and slowed, and has 2 shrouds now. Atreus, in your char sheet can you include which defense the power targets? And don't let me forget that you need a second approval still.
Tristan oaths the hob, and (eventually) manages to hit him twice for 26 damage. As an immediate reaction when hit, the hobgoblin bites Tristan: 19 vs. AC hits for 8 damage. The hob is bloodied.
Kathalia hits the elf with predator's flurry, but misses the dwarf due to the human's mark. 10 damage to the elf, and it is dazed (tent Kathalia). Screaming hide armor gives the dwarf -2 to hit (tent Kathalia).
Woe stands and hits the dwarf with his throwing shield for 10 damage, marking it. No kicking the torch, since I'd just said that took a move action for weapons. Not sure what Woe is doing with an active perception check, since his passive beat the gnome's stealth.
The elf stabs at Kathalia with her spear: 26 vs. AC hits for 8 damage.
The dwarf recharges Brimstone Hail, and uses Vile Fumes, burst 2 centered on N16, catching Woe and Hacker. 23 and 26 vs. Fort, respectively, hit both for 16 damage, and they are blinded (tent dwarf). He moves closer to Kathalia.
The human lies there and does nothing. His mark expires.
The hobgoblin uses Relentless Endurance and regains 5 hp. No longer bloodied. He fails to recharge Shadow Strike. He attacks Tristan with a basic attack; 30 vs. AC hits for 6 damage.
Gnome appears in I8 and shoots Hacker twice, 15 vs. AC misses but 26 vs. AC hits for 13 damage. Hacker drops, dying. Gnome moves and attempts stealth: 16 hides it from Woe and Hacker, but everyone else knows:
hidinghe's in I8 still

|A series of seasonal, monthly and short-term samplings was conducted in open and confined waters of the Algiers area in 2001-2002 and summer 2003 in order to detect potentially harmful microalgae species (HAB). A total of 14 potentially toxic and 18 bloom-forming species were recorded, of which some were found for the first time in Algerian coastal waters: the potential toxin producers Alexandrium minutum, Dinophysis sacculus (dinoflagellates) and Pseudo-nitzschia calliantha (diatom), as well as the bloom-forming species Lepidodinium chlorophorum (dinoflagellate), Cyclotella meneghiniana (diatom) and Holococcolithophora sphaeroidea (holococcolithophorid). The latter produced a very important bloom with considerable water discoulouration. The occurrence and duration of this event in the Algiers Harbour underline the importance of this enclosed structure as a growth area for HAB species. The transport of a H. sphaeroidea bloom toward off-shore waters by an anticyclonic eddy demonstrates the effect of Algerian current mesoscale instabilities on the spatial distribution of phytoplankton communities.

I spent a good part of the day at our local mini-Pripiyat, North Ridge Estates, an upscale building site that had to be abandoned in 2001 due to asbestos contamination. It's eerie, and absurd that so much has gone to waste. About three families have stayed behind and, as far as anyone knows, they're thriving. However, cleanup is still in progress as money becomes available. A quote from a news article:
"The asbestos contamination resulted from demolition of buildings in the World War II-era marine barracks at the site. A 2001 anonymous tip about asbestos contamination at North Ridge led to state and federal surface cleanups and studies of the subdivision."

On February 7, 2008 my husband made a deposit for me, 2 checks. 1 being my paychake for $358.55 and a personal check of $1000 from back child support. The following morning, I went online to check the account as I do almost every morning. The deposit wasnt showing. I brought the concern to my husband and he had the recipt to prove the deposit. Later that day, my husband said the website was not working so he watch and get back to me when it was up and running again. It didnt. My husand called the customer service line that evening, and spoke to a representative. She stated the website was down and they were qorking quickly to get it restored ( one of the many times the website fails to work proplery) My husband asked if she could see the deposit on the account. She stated they were deposited on 2/08/08. He asked if she had any idea when they would clear. She said the payechk would be clear in full on Monday 2/11/08 and the personal check would be partialled cleared on 2/11/08 with the remainder on Tuesday 2/12/08.
The following morning on Saturday 2/09/08- I went online to see if the account was available, it was showing an available balance of over $500.00. This pleased us as we needed to get some things taken are of.
I checked the acct online on Monday 2/11/08 still showing the same available balance, while it was 5:00am I figured the updates had not been done yet, since the available balance was not rising, based on what the rep told us on the phone. Now Tuesday 2/12 the rep told us it would be fully cleared. I rushed off to work being called in for overtime and working a 14 hour day. My husband took care of some errands. My huasband noticed some inconsitant fees on the account. There were 8 "$33 Unavailable Fees". That was $264 of my money they just took. He called the bank branch and spoke to a few people, and explained what the rep had said. They refunded 3 of those fees, only $99 given back for THIER mistake?
My husband then went and deposit my next paycheck. The reciept given shows an available balance of $198.00. My husband went and got gas, and valentine gifts for my children, myself and my father. The next day we again are getting hit with more Unavailable Fees. This ended up being a holiday weekend, so we had to wait to speak with the branch manager for Tuesday 2/19/08. My husband called and told them what happened AGAIN. After a full day of the run around, my husband was told based on the reciept time and a charge coming through right after it changed the available balance and we went over it.
Now I find myself confused. Did they not understand that this problem STILL goes back to the Rep telling us the money would be fully available on Tuesday 2/12/08. At this point, my entire account is overdrawn $223.00 and Sovereign walked away with 13 "$33 Unavailable Fees" Thats $429!!! Since 2/14/08 I have had NO money! This is a family of 6! We had to roll change to get money for gas just to go back and forth to work. When I deposit my paycheck again, which will only be about $400, they will take an additional $223 right off the top because of all these fees. That leaves me with less than $200 o do food shopping, pay bills and pay for gas to go back and forth to work.
I have had it... I trust my money in this institution, which overs protection to my money, only to have it stolen by the same people that ask us to trust them with our money. Now, I dont know about anyone else, but I dont make enough to have the little I have stolen from me. When is someone going to take action on this bank? Where else can I turn for help?

The management of BSX dumped millions of shares, most recently at 5's. How many shares did they buy? 0 shares. Come on guys! Couldn't you spare 5 bucks? That says a lot about this POS. They would not even bet $5 on their own companies. Find out on Yahoo insiders' transactions.The insiders got millions of shares at zero cost and dumped them immediately on the market. They don't even need a printer to do it. I don't blame them. It's a dead horse, and it doesn't matter who make the last cut.
Regardless, forced sells or not, a sale is a sale.This is the Biggest POS in the S&P 500. Wonder if it will stay in S&P 500 much longer, it's so dead even maggots wouldn't want it in theirpossession. Come to think of it that's exactly what BSX Exec Mgt/BOD are....maggots.
I agree, if they didn't really want to dump it,they would buy it back, and yet they don't.
don't try and con this board, loser....the selling of shares is pre-defined....small pieces to pay the tax man....Get with the program loser.

Former MARILYN MANSON bassist Twiggy Ramirez (a.k.a. Jeordie White) has confirmed that he auditioned for the vacant slot in METALLICA prior to officially landing his current gig with A PERFECT CIRCLE.Twiggy, who never heard back from the METALLICA camp after auditioning for the group, discovered that A PERFECT CIRCLE were in need of a bassist after bumping into drummer Josh Freese at a New Year's Eve party. "We started talking about A PERFECT CIRCLE and their situation, so I contacted them a few weeks later and then we started playing together," Twiggy told MTV Tuesday (Feb. 11). "I got hired because I have a van to help move their equipment around and I have long hair, which is a plus," he joked. "Actually, I've known [guitarist and songwriter] Billy [Howerdel] for about 10 years. I just think they're a really cool band. The music is dark and it's more of what I'm used to, and Maynard [James Keenan] is a great vocalist. They're all great musicians and they have a good respect for each other. It's something that's cool to be a part of." In addition to jamming with A PERFECT CIRCLE, Twiggy has been keeping busy recording a new DESERT SESSIONS record with QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE frontman Josh Homme, PJ Harvey, WEEN's Gene Ween and ELEVEN's Alain Johannes. They've been in a California desert studio for two days and have already finished six songs. "So far the music is very all over the place," Twiggy said. "From country blues to heavy metal. Doing the desert sessions kind of makes you realize why you got into playing music in the first place. We came in with no material and we pretty much went into the studio and wrote everything."

|WEEI NFL Power Rankings: Week 9
|11.01.10 at 8:20 pm ET
A new team reigns supreme in this week's edition of the WEEI.com NFL Power Rankings. Riding a five-game winning streak and holding sole possession of the best record in football, Tom Brady and the Patriots climb to No. 1 in the rankings.
The AFC still dominates at the top of the rankings. The Steelers, Ravens, Colts and Jets round out the Fantastic Five.
After another bizarre week in the NFL in which we saw the Jets held scoreless at home, Donovan McNabb benched in favor of Rex Grossman to run the two-minute drill and Brett Favre taken off the field in a cart, nothing seems more peculiar than the news of Randy Moss being waived by the Vikings. Following the Vikings' loss and the sense that head coach Brad Childress has lost all respect in his team's locker room, Minnesota plunges to No. 19.
Two other notable teams that started the season ranked high are currently in the bottom of the barrel, with the Dallas Cowboys (No. 30) and the Cincinnati Bengals (No. 24) scraping new lows.
1. (Last week, 3) 6-1 The news for the Patriots got even better this week with reports emerging that Pro Bowl guard Logan Mankins will return to the team on Tuesday. The Patriots are looking more and more like the team we saw dominate the past decade. They're an extremely disciplined team that doesn't commit many penalties and rarely turns the ball over. They rank at the top of the league in both of those categories. Bill Belichick's young defense seems to be improving and gaining confidence each week. Jerod Mayo leads the league with 86 tackles.
2. (1) 5-2 Overall, a loss to the defending champs on the road isn't too much to worry about for Steelers fans. Ben Roethlisberger and the offense still don't look 100 percent comfortable. They probably need a few more games to get on the same page. In the loss to the Saints, New Orleans was able to get pressure and confuse "Big Ben" all game.
3. (4) 5-2 The Ravens benefit from the bye week in more ways than one. Not only did Joe Flacco and company enjoy some needed rest but they also moved into first place in the AFC North after the Steelers fell to the Saints.
4. (5) 5-2 Peyton Manning continues to impress. No. 18 has shown time and time again that he can get the job done no matter what personnel makes up his receiving corps. On defense, Dwight Freeney and Robert Mathis are nightmares for opposing offensive lines and quarterbacks.
5. (2) 5-2 The Jets should have some serious concerns about their offense. Coming off an extra week of preparation, the Jets offense was horrendous. Since starting his first five games with zero interceptions, Mark Sanchez has thrown four interceptions in his last two games. At the same time, Sanchez got no help from his receivers, who dropped nine passes.
|WEEI NFL Power Rankings: Week 8
|10.26.10 at 12:10 pm ET
Week 7 is in the books and the top five teams remain intact in the latest edition of WEEI.com's NFL Power Rankings. The Steelers, Jets, Patriots, Ravens and Colts sit comfortably in spots 1-5, respectively. It is obvious through seven weeks of football that the AFC rules in the NFL. Seven out of the top 10 ranked teams represent the AFC. Jumping in this week are the Titans (No. 7) and the Dolphins (No. 9). Those teams replace the Saints and Eagles, who both suffered big losses on Sunday.
The Saints go marching out of the top 10 and drop all the way to No. 11 after being embarrassed at home by the meager Browns. The defending champs suffered their third loss of the season. During their championship run last season, they lost three times all year.
The Bears also plunge this week to No. 17. The same problems haunt the Bears each week and it seems they can't improve on the offensive line and passing game.
At the bottom of the barrel, the Bills remain at No. 32 and are the only winless team in the NFL. There is, at least, some novelty to their basement perch, as the Bills have a new neighbor, with the 49ers falling to No. 31.
1. (Last week, 1) 5-1 Even though the Steelers probably should have lost Sunday against the Dolphins, it's tough not to put them at the top. Ben Roethlisberger will continue to improve as the season progresses and the Steelers D is one of the best in the league. One thing to watch for is the loss of defensive end Aaron Smith, who is a major contributor to Pittsburgh's elite defense.
2. (2) 5-1 After a week off, the Jets along with a presumably healthy Darrelle Revis will put their five-game winning streak on the line against the Packers at home.
3. (3) 5-1 This team has been criticized for its poor play on the road and in the second half in the past. On Sunday, however, the Patriots stepped up their game and managed to win on the road. After struggling mightily on offense in the first half, Tom Brady led a 76-yard touchdown drive to open the third quarter that took over eight minutes off the clock. Bill Belichick's young defense is making noteworthy progress and has become fun to watch.
4. (4) 5-2 Baltimore's pass defense has looked very suspect over the last two weeks. When your team allows the Buffalo Bills offense to gain 374 yards in the air, something has to be fixed. The Ravens have a bye this week and then will try and get back on track.
5. (5) 4-2 Peyton Manning is facing one of the biggest tests in his career. Can No. 18 continue to win games with his receiving core in shambles or will injuries finally put a stop to the Colts' long run of success?
|WEEI NFL Power Rankings: Week 7
|10.19.10 at 12:02 pm ET
The Pittsburgh Steelers claim the throne in this week's edition of the WEEI NFL Power Rankings. Led by Ben Roethlisberger, the Steelers finally can improve their pass game and complement a defense that is allowing just 12 points per game. Moving on up into the top five are Tom Brady and the New England Patriots. After a thrilling overtime win at home against the Ravens, the Patriots proved they can win against the NFL's best.
Making a big leap to No. 7 are the Philadelphia Eagles. Despite a looming quarterback controversy, the Eagles showed how dynamic their offense can be with either Kevin Kolb or Michael Vick behind center.
Falling out of the top 10 are the Green Bay Packers (No. 11) and Chicago Bears (No. 13). Injuries are piling up over at Lambeau Field and the Bears' offensive line struggles continue to be a major problem.
Week 7 will feature some exciting NFC matchups that promise to cause some major ripple effects in the rankings. The Vikings are at Green Bay and the Giants are at Dallas.
1. (Last week, 3) 4-1 The Steelers are one of the most complete teams in the NFL right now. Ben Roethlisberger showed some rust in his return but also made some outstanding throws. Now, Pittsburgh has a passing offense to go along with their great run game and defense.
2. (2) 5-1 The Jets will go into their bye week after rattling off a very impressive five-game winning streak. Cornerback Darrelle Revis obviously isn't healthy and could benefit greatly from the time off. One of the main keys to New York's success through six games has been the play of a rejuvenated LaDainian Tomlinson. The 31-year-old running back leads a Jets running attack that ranks second in the NFL.
3. (6) 4-1 The Patriots defense was very impressive down the stretch in the fourth quarter and overtime. New England's D was able to stop the Ravens on their final five drives. Bill Belichick said it was the best game his outside linebackers have played all year. Their win over the Ravens should definitely be a confidence booster going forward.
4. (1) 4-2 The Ravens just finished a tough stretch of games where they played New York, Cincinnati, Pittsburgh and New England, all on the road. Now the Ravens can enjoy some games at home and should be able to bounce back from their loss to the Patriots. After the game, Ray Lewis was already looking forward to the next game when they take on the Bills at home saying, "It's going to be rough on Buffalo."
5. (5) 4-2 Plagued with injuries, it seems the Colts can overcome anything as long as they have No. 18 under center. Peyton Manning has been playing outstanding as usual. Indy is also able to rush the passer and is able to force mistakes with Dwight Freeney and Robert Mathis on the ends.
|WEEI NFL Power Rankings: Week 6
|10.12.10 at 12:29 pm ET
The 1972 Dolphins can rest easy. Parity rules in the NFL and for the first time since 1970, there are no 4-0 teams. However, there are some teams that are finally starting to pull away and look like the league's best. For the second straight week, the Baltimore Ravens are No. 1, the New York Jets are No. 2, and the Pittsburgh Steelers are No. 3 in WEEI's NFL Power Rankings. The Ravens have three big road wins, two against divisional opponents, and they look like the most complete team in the NFL. The Jets are enjoying a 3-0 record in the AFC East and are playing well in all three phases of the game.
After a long run, the Saints fall out of the top five to No. 7. Drew Brees has thrown five interceptions already and is certainly feeling the effects of a weak running game. The Giants squeeze into the top ten at No. 9 after back-to-back wins and a defensive line that has looked dynamic.
The Cowboys drop all the way to No. 20 after another mistake-ridden game. Wade Phillips and Dallas' coaching staff have done a horrendous job to this point. Dallas has yet to win at home in 2010. Another underachieving team is the Cincinnati Bengals. After an amazing 2009 season, the Bengals have been awful this season and are going into Week 6 having suffered back-to-back losses to the Browns and Bucs.
The Panthers and the Bills remain winless and in the cellar.
1. (Last week, 1) 4-1 The dual rushing attack of Ray Rice and Willis McGahee, complemented by a relentless defense, has the Ravens atop the NFL as the best team in the league.
2. (2) 4-1 Through five weeks, this Jets team looks as good as advertised. The Jets have posted a takeaway-giveaway differential of 11; that leads the league. This team has turned the ball over just once this season. Meanwhile, quarterback Mark Sanchez has thrown zero interceptions. Last year, he had 20.
3. (3) 3-1 The Steelers will be licking their chops Sunday when a rookie quarterback will lead a struggling offense into Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh's defense is one of the best in the league and with Ben Roethlisberger returning, the Steelers are in great position to do some damage as the season progresses.
4. (5) 4-1 The first-place Atlanta Falcons have put together a nice winning streak after losing in Week 1 to the Steelers. One of the keys to Atlanta's success has been scoring points off their takeaways. The team's rushing attack, led by Michael Turner, is second only to the New York Jets.
5. (8) 3-2 The Colts proved they can win without Peyton Manning having a Peyton Manning-like game. Against the Chiefs, it was Indy's defense that stepped up in the red zone. The Colts also allowed just a field goal following a Manning interception that put Kansas City in great field position.
|WEEI NFL Power Rankings: Week 5
|10.05.10 at 3:30 pm ET
A quarter of the NFL season is already in the books, and the Ravens are the latest team to reign supreme in WEEI's NFL Power Rankings.
Arguments can be made for almost every 3-1 team in the top five to be in the No. 1 spot. The No. 2 J-E-T-S Jets Jets Jets have looked like one of the NFL's elite teams after opening the season with a tough loss at home against the Ravens. The Steelers, who fall two spots and sit at No. 3, will enjoy the return of Ben Roethlisberger behind center. The Saints and Falcons round out the "fabulous five" after both teams grinded out wins late in the fourth quarter.
Week 5 could be titled "The return of the suspended." Roethlisberger isn't the only big name returning to a contending team. Defensive Rookie of the Year Brian Cushing returns to the No. 7 Texans and the Jets offense will add another weapon with receiver Santonio Holmes, as he will make his debut in green.
Finally, just one undefeated team remains in the NFL, but there are four winless teams. The 49ers, Lions, Panthers and Bills are all searching for their first win. You can find those teams at the bottom of the barrel.
1. (Last week, 9) 3-1 Joe Flacco showed true poise down the stretch in Pittsburgh and led his team to a comeback victory. The Ravens defense is playing very well, as usual, and this Ray Lewis–led club has beaten two of the best teams in the league on the road in the Steelers and Jets.
2. (6) 3-1 It's nice to be a Jets fan right now. Mark Sanchez is proving he can be a solid quarterback, LaDainian Tomlinson showed he has a lot left in the tank and, oh, yeah, Darrelle Revis, Calvin Pace and Santonio Holmes will be returning soon. Rex Ryan's crew is 3-0 in the division and heading into Week 5 with loads of confidence.
3. (1) 3-1 Pittsburgh is in a great position to make a big push to take the AFC. After four weeks without their Pro Bowl quarterback, the Steelers were a hair away from finishing the first quarter of the season undefeated. Now, Roethlisberger returns to an offense that ranks 30th in the league in passing.
4. (3) 3-1 The defending champs make big plays in critical moments, and that's why they were able to pull out another close win. The tackle for a 4-yard loss on DeAngelo Williams followed by a sack of Jimmy Clausen putting Carolina out of field goal range is a perfect example of what championship-caliber teams do when the game is on the line. The injury bug has bitten the Saints this season, but once players like Reggie Bush, Pierre Thomas and Roman Harper get healthy, I fully expect them to be defending their title come January.
5. (4) 3-1 The play of week came from Falcons wide receiver Roddy White when he made the Troy Brown-like strip of Nate Clements. Atlanta's defense is putting good pressure on the quarterback and is forcing interceptions. The Falcons D leads the league with eight picks. If they can improve their play on special teams, the "Dirty Birds" can be a legitimate threat to the Saints for the NFC South title.
|WEEI NFL Power Rankings: Week 4
|09.28.10 at 8:40 am ET
After many shocks and surprises across the league through three weeks, the "Steel Curtain" rises up and has asserted supremacy over the rest of the NFL in this week's edition of the WEEI.com NFL Power Rankings. Behind Charlie Batch, the unbeaten Pittsburgh Steelers are ranked No. 1 as they have one more game to play until Pro Bowl quarterback Ben Roethlisberger returns. The Steelers have a huge test coming up against the Baltimore Ravens this Sunday at home.
Peyton Manning and the Colts are breathing down the Steelers neck at No. 2 after their second straight dominating win. Falling to No. 3 are Drew Brees and the defending champs. The Saints are out of the top spot for the first time this season after kicker Garret Hartley missed a 29-yard field goal to win the game in overtime.
Rounding out the top five are the Green Bay Packers who fall from the No. 2 spot. Despite the loss to the Bears on Monday night, the Packers remain two spots ahead. Green Bay still had a good chance to take down "Da Bears" on the road despite turnovers and penalties. Additionally, the Bears close-call win over the Lions in Week 1 and the inconsistent play of Jay Cutler still makes them a suspect team. The boys from the "Windy City" climb to No.7.
The winless Browns and Bills remain in the basement going into Week 4.
Surely there will be many brash and passionate opinions this week as some 3-0 teams aren't even in the "Fine 15," and some teams who have won head to head matchups aren't ahead of the teams they've beat. Leave your comments below.
1. (4) 3-0-0 The Steelers have the opportunity to be 4-0 before Roethlisberger returns from a four-game suspension. With a defense that is allowing just 11 points a game, Pittsburgh is looking more and more like the team to beat in the AFC.
2. (3) 2-1-0 Peyton Manning can make any receiver effective. Without Pierre Garcon and Anthony Gonzalez, Manning found backups Austin Collie and Blair White all over the field. Can anyone argue, barring an injury to Manning, that this team won't win at least 12 games this year?
3. (Last week, 1) 2-1-0 The Saints need to improve their rush defense dramatically (they currently rank 30th). The way to beat the defending champs is to pound the ball on the ground and keep Drew Brees and the offense off the field. That's what the Falcons did on Sunday and it turned out badly for New Orleans.
4. (11) 2-1-0 The Falcons showed that they are one of the top tier teams in the league after knocking off the defending champs in New Orleans. Atlanta's only loss came in overtime against a great Steelers team. If Atlanta's rushing attack can remain effective, the Falcons can do some damage in the NFC.
5. (2) 2-1-0 Eighteen penalties in one game is very alarming for a team many think is one of the best in the NFC. The Packers beat themselves Monday night and can't afford to play like the way they did again if they want to contend for a Super Bowl. The good thing Green Bay can take away from the loss was the play of Aaron Rodgers — an unbelievable and gutty performance from a quarterback that has made his way into the conversation of best QB in the league.
|WEEI NFL Power Rankings: Week 3
|09.21.10 at 8:05 am ET
The defending champs are looking down at all 32 teams once again as they pulled off another win and remain at No.1 in the WEEI NFL Power Rankings. Drew Brees and company continue to find ways to win, reminiscent of the Patriots championship teams who battled every week but prevailed at the end every time.
The Packers jump a spot and sit at No. 2 after a dominating performance over the Bills. The Colts, Steelers, and Texans round off the Top 5.
Tough decisions after that. The Ravens lost to the Bengals, but beat the Jets in Week 1, while the Patriots beat up on the Bengals but fell to the Jets. This just proves we shouldn't over-react after two games. Baltimore remains on top of the next group followed by the Jets, Patriots and Bengals.
It's been an interesting and exciting past couple weeks in the NFL. The Steelers are proving they don't need their Pro Bowl QB when they play defense like they have the past two games. Following a Week 1 loss, the Colts made a statement on Sunday Night Football by beating up on the Giants. We've got some major surprises early in the season with both the Tampa Bay Bucs and Kansas City Chiefs at 2-0, while teams like the Dallas Cowboys and Minnesota Vikings are 0-2.
And which head coach is first on the hot seat? Is it Wade Phillips, John Fox, Eric Mangini, or none of the above?
Lots to talk about in this week's edition of the WEEI Power Rankings. Check em out:
1. (Last week, 1) 2-0-0 The Saints aren't relying on one specific area. They're getting production from all three phases of the game when they need it and find ways to win games. The loss of Reggie Bush (to what reports say is a broken bone in his leg) won't help the Saints sputtering offense find their groove any quicker.
2. (3) 2-0-0 The Packers have play-makers on both sides of the ball. Aaron Rodgers continues to show he is an elite QB. Second-year linebacker Clay Matthews already has six sacks, 12 tackles, and one forced fumble in two games.
3. (4) 1-1-0 Did anyone really think the Colts would fall to 0-2 to start the season? Indy took a national stage Sunday night and showed the country that they will be one of the best teams in the NFL once again.
4. (7) 2-0-0 If the Steelers 'D' continues to play the way they have, it won't matter who is under center. With Dennis Dixon and Charlie Batch to start the season, the Steel Crew is 2-0 and just two games away from getting their Pro Bowl quarterback back from suspension.
5. (11) 2-0-0 In the opener, we saw what the Texans running game was capable of after Arian Foster rushed for over 230 yards and three touchdowns. This week, we saw Matt Schaub throw for 497 yards and three touchdowns.

OXCGN's Transformers: Fall of Cybertron Review
More than meets the eye?
by Daniel Geikowski
©2012 Daniel Geikowski
In today's day and age, games that are based on an established franchise need to tread carefully.
If the source material isn't treated with respect, long-time fans will no doubt flame developers whilst wearing their rose-tinted glasses.
Thankfully, Transformers: Fall of Cybertron will please any fans of the original Transformers series, as well as newcomers alike.
The Final Battle
High Moon Studios and Activision's latest entry into the series, Transformers: Fall of Cybertron, is a 3rd person action title that lets players witness the battle during the final hours of the Autobots and Decepticon's home planet.
Following on directly from War for Cybertron, the Autobots and the Decepticons are locked in a fierce battle to salvage the remaining Energon, the planet's energy source, in order to escape the planet and find a new home.
Even though fans of the series know the final destination, Transformers: Fall of Cybertron does an entertaining job of detailing events leading up to the game's final moments.
As players navigate their way through the campaign, they are placed into the shoes of various Autobots and Decepticons, giving the player a different perspective on the unfolding events.
Instead of playing through separate Autobot and Decepticon campaigns, the single campaign intertwines both factions together. Where one mission may have players working to secure a transport of Energon as an Autobot, the next mission sees them trying to attack said transport as a Decepticon.
Till all are One
The decision to not allow players to choose their character is a wise one. It allows players to experience the various styles of each Transformer instead of having the player use Optimus Prime or Bumblebee throughout the entire campaign.
Missions are therefore catered around the special abilities of the specific Transformer.
For example, missions involving Optimus Prime have you calling in aerial strikes, Starscream uses his cloaking ability to sneak through areas undetected, Jazz swings around with his grappling hook and Bruticus just plain smashes stuff.
Each Transformer has an alternate form to transform into, ranging from tanks, cars, jets and dinosaurs. Yes, dinosaurs. These forms are pretty nifty, but mainly serve to help the player traverse large areas, although turning into a T-Rex and smashing up the place is a definite highlight.
Whilst the shooting mechanics are fairly solid, the varying abilities of each Transformer prevent the game from getting stale as the player works their way through the campaign.
This method works well, especially during the final level, as players quickly change between Autobot to Decepticon in a hectic firefight in space.
Although I had no problem with it, I can imagine that being forced to constantly change character might become confusing for some players.
Just as you've started to get used to Megatron's Hover Ability, your thrown into another Transformer with a new skill set. It also doesn't allow for any levelling up of abilities.
However, to make up for this, Fall of Cybertron features RPG levelling up elements in the form of weapons. Players have access to various terminals throughout the campaign, which allow them to buy and upgrade weapons available for use with all characters.
Weapons range from primary weapons, that consist of Assault Rifles, Shotguns and Sniper Rifles. There are also heavy weapons that deal increased damage, but are limited in ammo. Players can also purchase pick-ups in the form of shields, sentry drones and heat-seeking mines, among others.
"Aww Scrap"
Visually, Fall of Cybertron is a mixed bag. The diverse environments are enjoyable to look at. Ranging from metallic cities, dusty Temple ruins, toxic-waste filled factories and outposts located in the sky, each environment is something new to look at.
However, the Unreal Engine is starting to show its age. Some textures are bland to look at, and the vast majority of levels feature the colour palette of Gears of War, being grey, brown, and more grey.
Playing on the Xbox 360, I didn't notice any major graphical bugs, apart from some jagged shadows and getting stuck on a couple of walls. I also had a weird bug that gave me the Mission Failed screen DURING a cutscene, but luckily it wasn't game-breaking.
In terms of audio, both the Autobots and Decepticons feature great voice acting. Optimus Prime sounds as righteous and determined as he should, Megatron sounds dominant, and Starscream still sounds like an ass.
The soundtrack fits well with the levels, making the dire situation of Cybertron all the more pertinent. Weapons sound meaty and satisfying to use, along with the screams of the enemies you use them on.
The Eternal Battle
Fitting with what seems to be an ominous trend in gaming lately, the campaign is rather short for an action game. I completed the game on Normal Difficulty in around 5-6 hours, but thankfully there is replayability to be had.
For one, there is the ability to select between two characters for the final mission, although to be honest this isn't anything substantial. Let's say it involves an easy fight with a QTE that consists of pressing one button over and over. It's actually a letdown compared to the rest of the campaign.
Upon completing the game, players can go back to get achievements, collect secret audio logs, as well as fully upgrade all weapons. If that doesn't sound enticing, there is Multiplayer and Escalation Mode.
Multiplayer was a revelation for me. I honestly was expecting a barebones affair. While there is the standard deathmatch and conquest modes, it does feature some deep customisation.
Players can choose between various styles of Transformers, each with their own special abilities. As players earn experience, they can unlock new weapons and outfits for their specific class. Levels are also varied, designed to make players play different classes, instead of favouring one in particular.
Escalation is the Transformer Survival Mode.
Any fan of Gears of War's Horde mode or Call of Duty's Zombies will be at home here. It is quite challenging, although that might be because I was playing with people who refused to co-operate.
Players must survive waves of enemies using their choice of Transformer. Players earn currency by defeating enemies, which allow them to purchase health, ammo, weapons, as well as access to new parts of the stage. Players can also access areas that increase their chances of victory.
Escalation is made for co-op gameplay. Ideally, it would be great for four mates to get together for a good time, however if you don't have any mates, you might be lucky to find some strangers out there willing to play properly. All in all, a great addition to get into after the campaign.
Roll Out
Overall, Transformers: Fall of Cybertron is a great game. Not having to be released simultaneously with a Michael Bay movie allowed High Moon Studios to give the game adequate development time.
The game tells a great story that new and old Transformers fans would enjoy. Players are able to play with their favourite Autobots and Decepticons, along with some new favourites.
While the campaign is enjoyable to play, more value and longevity is provided with the addition of Multiplayer and Escalation Modes.
For fans of Transformers looking for their fix since the latest movie, or any action fan in general, I easily recommend you take out you wallet, and transform your money into Fall of Cybertron.

Circus Protest: HELP!!!
Over a year ago
"Barley Circus" is in cd. Juarez, Chihuahua (Mexico). I organized a protest and have some support, but most people are saying this is a circus that "treats their animals very well".
We wanted to proceed legally, like we succesfully did last year with another circus, but I went to take pictures to the "free zoo" of the circus and none of the animals have visible wounds. I took some videos of stressed animals, like a camel that was balancing side to side, and I don't know if that will be enough.
We're dressing in white and holding signs, the protest will take place this weekend.
Any advice would be appreciated, like phrases for our signs, ideas to catch people attention, and ideas on how to answer when people tell us that those animals "look fat and healthy".
Thank you guys so much! ♥
Please log in to reply.

Hi @mcrkarol!
That's great you're holding a protest, thanks for speaking up for animals! There's a great resource on our site for making signs for protesting the circus: http://www.peta2.com/blog/the-diy-activist/
You'll be able to print circus leaflets directly from that blog! It's important to remind people that the circus abuses, kidnaps, exploits, beats, and imprisons animals.
Good luck! You can email us at [email protected] if you need more help getting organized 🙂

FO: Lil' Gentleman's Sweater
The title says it. I made a 'grown up' sweater for my son. I asked him "to look busy" and these are the photos I got. The raglan line is a bit strange because I used kfb increase, and it's a bit raised... I didn't like it at first but then made peace with it. The yarn is 60% wool, 40% alpaca, brought from Ukraine last May. I had to buy a new travelling bag because I discovered that natural fibre yarns are so much cheaper there :)
Also, it took me a year (A YEAR!) to finish it when I was working full-time and studying part-time. (Now I am in school full-time). Also, this is the first big-ish project with Sport weight yarn and 3 mm needles. Now I feel much more comfortable with fine yarns thanks to this little sweater.
Thanks for looking!
A very handsome Gentleman's Sweater indeed! The increases look great to me. Such a handsome young gentleman to wear it too.
:inlove: Your son is adorable and the sweater looks awesome! I actually like a KFB increase. It gives some nice detail with the bumps!
Very handsome!!! Both the son and the sweater.
Can you post the pattern name please? I'd like it to make my grandson someday when he's a little older.
Oh, very sophisticated. It really is a gorgeous sweater and your son looks so handsome and nonchalant in it (not so much busy but do the cool ever look busy?). Lovely work, Olha, per usual.
Stunning! And such a nice sweater too :)
I am awestruck :star: Beautiful work, and your son is absolutely adorable. I'll bet you're glad you were able to finish it before he outgrew it ;) Very nicely done!
There is no pattern, it's just a basic top down raglan. My mom was the one who shared her "recipe" and I made a few sweaters like that. But I found that sleeves were too wide and for this one I used Yarn Harlot's proportion for sleeves/body.
I cast on a number of stitches between two front raglan lines (sleeve 1, back, sleeve 2) and knit flat adding one stitch at the beginning and the end of every other row to make a V-neck. When I had the same number of added stitches for the front than those for the back, I joined the ends and knit in a round from that point on. (Note to self, and possibly some others: adding one stitch every three rows will make a deeper V and you won't have to worry if the head will go through) :)
Awww...such a cute little guy! Love the sweater and pictures, thanks!
Perfect sweater...Perfect model!
He gets my vote for Best Dressed!

It is known that Manchester United are currently lacking any sort of creativity on the attack as Louis van Gaal is still yet to register a win. The addition of Angel Di Maria will mean that he could use his ability to provide his team mates with a vital killer ball.
Last season, Di Maria topped the list as La Liga's top provider with 17 assist while Koko and Cesc Fabregas came second with 13. If anyone watched United's match against Sunderland, they will know that the addition of the Argentine star will surely give them a huge bonus.

For me, I always make sure the wild pkmn are weaker than you, the trainers are just as strong, and the leaders are always stronger. But if I ever have a time in the game where the player has to grind intensely, I've decided to give them an opportunity to train, like some kind of extra mission where they get something, so it doesn't seem like they're just grinding.
That's the part that leaves me a bit stuck, because my game is a continuation, taking place in the future kanto region, so I'm somewhat limited as far as new maps and region, but I am adding a lot of new features as far as places to go. I am planning another hack of ruby after I finish this FR one, where it'll be completely my own region.

After the "final straw" of getting these poorly worded refusal e-mails with the audacity of asking me to spend money on her services, I responded to the e-mail to express how unprofessional and insulting I found these e-mails, I actually received a phone call from her. When I did not apologize, an escalation ensued, with her calling me "snotty," and "crazy," threatening to "warn" employers about my "bad attitude," trying to filibuster and prevent me from getting a word in, and talking louder and faster, badgering me with her presumed victim status.
I never did get any evidence there was ever a real job. I am more convinced than before that she's trolling for desperate unemployed indigents to take advantage of.

Let me start at the end of my trial run experience- Directly after downloading and installing this file (and only this file) I got the nastiest malware invasion of my life. It could have been a coincidence but I don't think so. Seven work hours later and I am still cleaning up the mess.
Now, as for this plugins actual functioning -
Upon uploading to WordPress, FireFox crashed. I reopen and and activate plugin and it crashes again. Still not convinced it was the plugin (boy am I an idiot) I tried to use it. Well, it doesn't work of course. All columns are layered on top of each other and come out a garbled mess. Oh, yeah, and then my PC went insane.

As i did some research i found that the address belonged to a doctors office and that the number and website was setup through a HONG KONG ISP and phone company. Also upon further investigation i found out that they are not based out of South Carolina but Pennsylvania, 570 area code. I tracked down and found that they are using a FAX Mail provider which allows them to email to a fax number there by blocking their actual number sent on an email.
So if you get a call from a 570 area code and they offer you a loan or anything else back off collect the number and call the authorities or go to the FBI website and send them the info. I was too late in getting the Exact info but have already informed the FBI and Pennsylvania state police they were helpful in letting me know that they have gathered several reports and have a list of possible suspects but could not mention any more details.

Air Force plans Windows 10 upgrade by 2018
August 24, 2016
Originally, DOD had planned to complete the departmentwide transition by early 2017.
Dan Verton served as FedScoop's Editorial Director from 2013 until August 2015. A veteran technology journalist with 20 years of experience coveri...
The software glitch that forced the Department of Veterans Affairs to take down the eBenefits Web portal over the weekend may have affected far more veterans than initially reported and enabled anyone who was logged in to alter the personal information contained in an unknown number of records.
VA has been investigating a problem with the joint VA-Defense Department eBenefits system since Jan. 15, when several veterans reported being able to see the personal information belonging to other veterans when they logged into the system. An internal VA memo obtained by FedScoop showed approximately 10,000 veterans had logged into the system during the time frame when the glitch was discovered.
But new video footage obtained by FedScoop from Eric Grzelak, a disabled veteran who has tried unsuccessfully to alert VA to the problems, shows the glitch exposed the private records of multiple veterans for every person who was logged in. In addition, Grzelak's video evidence shows it was possible to alter the records, placing at risk the private information of potentially tens of thousands or more veterans.
"I could see someone's name, date of birth, Social Security number, what disabilities they had [and] how much they got paid," Grzelak told FedScoop. "Everything you would look at would pull up someone else's info. It would change every time you refreshed the page."
FedScoop has agreed not to show the video footage because it reveals the private information belonging to Grzelak and other veterans.
Grzelak first became aware something was wrong with the system when he logged into the portal to check on the status of a claim. But instead of showing Grzelak's benefits summary, it displayed an application for an increase in compensation based on unemployment belonging to a different veteran.The application included the veteran's name, address, telephone number, Social Security number and VA file number.
Grzelak immediately tried to edit his own claim. But that page asked him to verify an address he didn't recognize.
"I thought it was a security thing to verify it was me, so I said no," Grzelak said. "Then, I put my address in. When I hit next, it pulled up some random guy with all his info, [but] with my address that I just updated. So you could change people's info if you wanted. So I'm not sure if this poor guy's stuff is going to start coming to my house."
The eBenefits portal is managed jointly by VA and DOD, and allows veterans and their dependents to access their medical and educational benefits, claims and a wide variety of forms and military documents. Included in that information is the ability to update direct deposit information, generate home loan certificates of eligibility, view DOD TRICARE medical information, military personnel records and VA payment histories.
More than 2.8 million veterans living in 180 countries have registered with the portal, which recorded more than 4.3 million visits in 2013.
The eBenefits portal was back online late Sunday night, but there was no mention of why the site had been down or if veterans should check their accounts for accuracy. Grzelak said he did not see any problems when he logged in around 11 p.m. ET.
"I think its a huge deal that I was able to change someone's info," Grzelak said. "Everyone needs to check now to make sure all their information is correct. I mean, you could change anything -- bank info, home address. It was all open."

Facebook's Conference Call: The Highlights
By David Benoit and Paul Vigna
Facebook's first public conference call went off without any major glitches, but without generating much enthusiasm either.
The social network's shares remained at new lows after the call, down more than 11% to $23.80 in after-hours trading. Added to the intra-day fall and that price would put it down nearly a fifth from Wednesday's close.
Here are some key points from the conference call:
– Zuckerberg – The mere appearance of the Hooded One was news. He did pretty well in prepared remarks and fielding questions, though at one point he seemed to get impatient: "I don't really have any more plans that I'm going to share with you today about our product roadmap or anything like that."
–$1 million a day from sponsored stories – The executives said the "very early" and "very small" launch of sponsored stories — content from advertisers — is making more than $1 million a day, about half of that on mobile. Sponsored stories is how Facebook plans on making money on mobile users, by selling advertisements in the shape of News Feed updates for users. The question will be whether investors are impressed with $1 million a day.
– No revenue or earnings guidance – The lack thereof may be one reason shares fell. Some analysts were hoping for some forward guidance. Barclays' Anthony DiClemente asked if the second-quarter revenue growth rate would be the low point, as most analyst models suggested. CFO David Ebersman didn't say yes or no. "The forecasting part is difficult," he said.

I think your right Rambo, we do play a zonal defensive game, which is often the reason why the players end up looking at each other as their not sure who should be picking up who. My main concern is we dont seem to close down the last two metres to the goal line enough and stop crosses coming in from there.

Dont be jelous!! Torres is a great player, he wil improve chelsea for sure. As for carrol l think they bought him mainly because the sold torres. But the one l wish was for arsenal is david luiz. Its a shame that we have not signed in defense.....they say GREAT EXPECTATIONS MAKE FRUSTRATED MEN. So am reviewing my expectations so l dont get very disappointed this yr.
Torres Is not a great player he is a sulky git who doesnt put a full shift in
