LOCKPORT – A Niagara Falls woman who accompanied her boyfriend to a confrontation with her ex-boyfriend was granted a one-year conditional discharge Thursday by Niagara County Judge Matthew J. Murphy III.
Rachel Martin, 25, of Portage Road, pleaded guilty last year to a felony, but that was later reduced to a misdemeanor, second-degree criminal trespass. Murphy said she must pay $280 in fees and restitution.
The couple were met by the ex-boyfriend's landlord, who suffered a 3-inch gash in his cheek when Jay Smith, 23, slashed him with a box cutter Nov. 3, 2010. He is serving four years in prison.

Set in a breathtaking location, high in the mountains on a steep, south-facing hillside that overlooks the main valley between the Akdağ and Bey mountain ranges, Arykanda is a fabulous ancient site that's comparable with Delphi in Greece. Its individual monuments are scattered, often only partly excavated and unlabelled, but there are good site plans by the entrance and the acropolis. While finds date to the fifth century BC, the typically Lycian "anda" suffix suggests that the city was founded a millennium earlier. Arykanda was a member of the Lycian Federation from the second century BC, and remained inhabited until the eleventh century.

It's the season where many parents are enthusiastically striving to keep a certain dream alive for their children. The dream of believing that someone or something magical still exists.
It's nothing short of miraculous to see to what lengths a parent or grandparent will go in keeping the dream alive for their children's innocent inquiry — as well they should. I'm not a big one for "shoulding," but in this case, I'll make an exception.
For many adults, however, they have given up on that relentless pursuit of their own dreams. Through the years, they have created an arsenal of thoughts, of which they believe to be true, from which they raid daily to keep themselves stuck in their complexity of mediocrity.
I would like to challenge you this week to believe again. Believe in your magnificence, your gifts, your talents, your passions, your beauty and your deservedness to really go for what is not too late. It is never too late. This is your life, and you absolutely deserve to experience what lights you up.
When we go for what we want, it is said that there are two types of pain: the pain of discipline and the pain of regret. The pain of regret far outweighs any pain of discipline. Don't allow the ghost of the future to have any evidence that you didn't believe you were worth going for what you want in this wonderful life.
Help that child in you develop the discipline for believing again that it is OK to go for and get what you really want. Empower yourself to go for what you want with the same enthusiasm as the child who will rip through the gifts anticipating what they have uncompromisingly asked for perhaps nothing short of 100 times during the month of December alone.
You may have heard the phrase, "Give to Get." Here's a twist for you. "GET to Give." As in, Generate Enthusiastic Thanks (GET) to give yourself what you deserve. You deserve to experience whatever you can imagine for yourself. You otherwise wouldn't have been able to summon the image. With that image comes the proportionate fortitude to make it happen. To uncork that magic, you simply must GET.
Develop the discipline to limit as best you can the thoughts that negate your going for your dreams. You can do this by GET'ing. Imagine, with gratitude, yourself already experiencing that which you so deeply desire. That's what kids do so well, and it works.
Welcome your inner kid this season and GET to give yourself the magic of believing.
Make it up. Make it fun. And make it happen.

HTC One named Mobile Choice magazine's 'Best Phone' for 2013
0. phoneArena 12 Oct 2013, 22:49 posted on
Mobile Choice is a magazine in the U.K. which has just released the winners for its 2013 consumer awards. 21,000 entries were received and for the third straight time, Samsung was named Manufacturer of the Year. Phone of the year went to the HTC One; the Taiwan based manufacturer's Android flagship also won Best Video Camera on a phone, and Best Design...
This is a discussion for a news. To read the whole news, click here

42. Gaurav008 (Posts: 328; Member since: 20 Jul 2012)
I am guessing in all probability that they had placed a deadline day or something and the day probably was April 1st or something near. So, its only logical that L1020 isn't mentioned.

htc one best of the rest..
-screen is best with iphone 5 and get score 8.5 of 10.
-sound and call quality easy go up for best choice.
-sense 5 most beautiful and smooth touch and go up maybe after iphone 5.
-design is unique..build quality is excellent.
-night shot canera is very very great point and movie record then is best among the other.
in overall htc one is king 2013.
63. Pedro0x (Posts: 271; Member since: 19 Oct 2012)
Lagging sense 5, I have tried many several ONEs and they have all lagged, the smoothest android phone is right now nexus 4.
Build quality of HTC ONE is absolutely extraordinary (in a good way :)
Screen is worse than Iphones, just look at anandtech and you will find that iphone has a better calibrated screen.
The camera is not that good, iphone 5s has way better camera in every way, maybe except lacking OIS.
Big bezel, if you compare it to LG G2.
HTC ONE is absolutely a great phone, but it certainly is not the best phone out there.
And Xperia Z does not have the best camera, how is it possible that it won.

Sony Xperia Z, best camera?

4. werthedroids (Posts: 60; Member since: 15 Sep 2013)
1st Nothing is wrong with the camera (though the Z1s is better) 2nd It's not best smartphone camera awards, it's overall smartphone, and the One is slightly better overall. It's less fragile, has a better screen, and you can get it with stock android. And those "BoomSound" speakers. they're cool.
20. Smokin (Posts: 120; Member since: 10 Oct 2013)
HTC One's camera is full of noise. Just check every photo from PA or GSMA. Z's cam is better than One's but it has that thing that i called Purple Dream.
41. Topcat488 (Posts: 1396; Member since: 29 Sep 2012)
What you been "Smokin",,, the article says HTC won the best "video camera" award...
Z's cam is better than One's but it has that thing that you called Purple Dream. Or is that "Purple Haze"? Hehe

I HAVE. My coworkers have them and i borrow them all the time to compare them with my S4 and honestly they're good quality phones especially the design but about the hardware and software... Sony Xperia Z uses the same sensor as S4 but due to horrible algorythm, it takes poorer photos.
28. VZWuser76 (Posts: 4185; Member since: 04 Mar 2010)
The HTC One's camera award was for best VIDEO camera, for taking VIDEOS. They said that the best camera (for photos) went to the Z1. The One also won for best design and overall, best phone.
39. Droid_X_Doug (Posts: 5993; Member since: 22 Dec 2010)
Stereo speakers. One of the best set of microphones for calling and noise cancellation during a call. And, and, and. Other than the still camera, the One has a great mix of features.
Which is why it got the award.
40. Smokin (Posts: 120; Member since: 10 Oct 2013)
Features like that 2 odd button arrangement? BlinkFeed? Zonk?
65. VZWuser76 (Posts: 4185; Member since: 04 Mar 2010)
All phones will have some things that people don't like, otherwise no one would buy anything else.
BTW, did the HTC One kick your dog or something? It's like you're fueding with an inanimate object.
76. Smokin (Posts: 120; Member since: 10 Oct 2013)
Honestly, i had HTC One. But that pimp pissed me off with bad battery life, overheating and keep crashin (i dont know why) and then i just dropped it from bed level into a CARPET and it just dent. So i give it to my cousin and never EVER want to see that phone again. It's in my nature to hate something that dissapoints me.

Nope. Z1 looks like another dull phone from Sony.
7. woodshop20 (Posts: 459; Member since: 14 Sep 2013)
What are these guys even smoking?
HTC One, best phone? Should probably go to the Galaxy Note 3 or Z1 or even the iPhone 5s (as a 3rd resort).
The best camera is, hands down, the 1020. Then the Z1, then the GN3.
Best value would have to be the Lumia 520, or the Nexus 5 (when it comes out)
Best tablet choice is more sensible, however the Nexus 7 is arguably better.
14. mr.techdude (Posts: 569; Member since: 19 Nov 2012)
@woodshop, ur right but u make the HTC one sound like a piece of garbage next to the z1 and gn3, those devices came out late 2013 while the HTC one came out early this year so that's why they chose it. The gs4 is just a gimmick, while the 1020 has the best camera but that is the only advantage whereas the one is overall a great smartphone. :)
17. woodshop20 (Posts: 459; Member since: 14 Sep 2013)
You are right, the HTC One is actually a really good phone (design-wise, anyways), but it can't hold a candle to the more current flagships.
49. Berzerk000 (Posts: 4275; Member since: 26 Jun 2011)
I find it funny how when the Galaxy S3 won this award last year, everybody just gave Samsung the credit they deserved, but when HTC wins, everybody doubts it and criticizes the people who made the decision. It's arguably the most well designed Android device ever, has the best speakers on any device in general, and probably the biggest advantage the One has is Sense 5; it gave useful features with a clean and modern UI that didn't slow down the phone, which Samsung and, to a lesser extent, Sony managed to screw up. Touchwiz looks like a mess, is loaded with tons of bloatware and useless features, and makes any phone lag. Sony's UI looks nice and has some good features, but has some minor performance issues. That's why the HTC One got the award.
Camera should have went to the Lumia 1020, followed closely by the Z1 and LG G2 (just for OIS that the Note 3 didn't have)
Tablet should have gone to the Nexus 7 or Transformer Pad Infinity. Both are much better than the Xperia Tablet Z.
62. Smokin (Posts: 120; Member since: 10 Oct 2013)
Because S3 stomps One X in every single way. Now the competition got much harder. The two closest are One and S4. S4's adv against One are better camera, performance and batt and SD Card while One's adv is only the design but enough to take on atleast MicroSD and batt advantage of S4.
66. VZWuser76 (Posts: 4185; Member since: 04 Mar 2010)
Performance on the S4? After talking with friends with the S4 and reading reviews there seem to be a lot of lag issues with the S4. Samsung needs to put TW on a diet like HTC did with Sense.
67. Berzerk000 (Posts: 4275; Member since: 26 Jun 2011)
Better camera; yes, but the camera on the One is more than capable for what the average consumer will use it for, which is social networking; like Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, etc. Not only that, but the One trashes the GS4 in low light.
Better performance; definitely not. The One is probably the smoothest non-stock Android device out there, it has been since release, the GS4 didn't change that in the slightest. The GS4 does technically have a higher clocked CPU and faster RAM, but those advantages are taken away by Touchwiz.
Better battery; they both last a full day for anyone I know who has either device, I know people 3 with the GS4 and 2 with the One, all are moderate users except for one light user who has the GS4. Nobody I know with a GS4, or any device with a removable battery for that matter, ever takes out their battery and pops in a spare. No one.
SD card; that's pretty much irrelevant with 32+ GB of storage (the One only comes in 32 or 64 GB), especially if you're as integrated into cloud storage as I am. I still don't use more than 3 GB of space on my phone, I keep all my media in the cloud. I don't think I've heard any of my friends complain about lack of storage either (except for one), and they all probably have 16-32 GB of storage.
Most of the arguments against the One are irrelevant to 90% of consumers.
8. NicoX (Posts: 13; Member since: 14 Mar 2013)
I think the only drawback of this phone is its low resolution camera . it should be 8 mp ultrapixel . and ohh ... HTC should offer its next phone with competitive price . thats all and HTC shal rise again :D
48. Epicness1o1 (Posts: 272; Member since: 30 May 2013)
Yeah if they make a 13 MP or a 16 MP UltraPixel camera for they next flagship the camera is going to be amazing
75. darkskoliro (Posts: 1076; Member since: 07 May 2012)
I think they were heading in the right direction with their idea in general though. Higher microns + lower ISO + low shutter speed = better quality low light picture! However they will need to increase their sensor size and their megapixels for their next flagship, 4mp and 1/3 wont cut it with the new cameras coming out :)
9. woodshop20 (Posts: 459; Member since: 14 Sep 2013)
Galaxy S4 wins the most gimmicky phone. I think the Oppo N1 was the most innovative this year.
16. SlimSoulja86 (Posts: 660; Member since: 03 Nov 2011)

21. woodshop20 (Posts: 459; Member since: 14 Sep 2013)
Well, Air view and Air gesture are pretty useless features that most users aren't going to use and are difficult to learn. The Oppo N1 has the rear touch panel and the swivel camera and dual boot CM/Android, which hasn't really been done before on a smartphone.
25. Smokin (Posts: 120; Member since: 10 Oct 2013)

WI have the one and I am very impressed with it and I found it a revolutionary upgrade from my HTC one x though I find the camera and the battery on the one could be improved slightly especially the camera, it would have been the perfect smartphone for me. FYI, the HTC one won multiple awards this year as the best devicefor 2013.

Isn't packing same thing in a new casing with cosmentic changes and selling it as innovation, innovation in itself?

Htc One is really really great to hold.the UI is beautiful and smooth.. boomsound is another plus.. i just dont like the camera. But overall Htc One deserves such recognition.. But of course, if Note3 is still the best thing that came out this year.. Next Year will be another battle as Samsung is feeling the heat

Well I don't see why people are saying this phone doesn't deserve recognition. It does. It has neat Zoe features, VERY well constructed phone with its design and material choice, and is an overall fluid device with its Sense 5. If people object to that then they blatantly haven't used the HTC One for long enough, or just can't accept their fav. OEM losing! (or in Shatter's case, being paid by SS).

Jenna Hague Cards Second 77 at NCAA Regional
STILLWATER, Okla. – Ball State women's golfer Jenna Hague carded her second straight round of 77 on Friday at the NCAA Central Regional.
The junior from Burlington, Ontario, will enter Saturday's final round in a tie for 65th at 10 over par. She will play in the morning wave, teeing off at 8:25 a.m. CT (9:25 ET) at Oklahoma State's Karsten Creek Golf Club.
"I saw some definite improvements in my ball-striking today, which I was pleased with," Hague said. "I did give away a lot of shots around the greens, though. I'm hoping tomorrow I will be able to put the two together. It's such a demanding golf course, and you really have to be on top of your game."
Kent State's Wad Phaewchimplee continues to hold the individual lead at 6 under after posting a second-round 73. She owns a four-shot advantage on Dana Finkelstein of UNLV. UCLA (+12) moved to the top of a tight team leaderboard, while California (+13) is a close second.
Hague collected herself Friday after her first double bogey of the tournament left her at 6 over on her round through 12 holes. Finishing the day on the front nine, she played her final six holes in 1 under, including birdies on the seventh and ninth.
Hague, who earned a spot in the regional field as an individual, made three total birdies on the day. Her first came at the par-5 14th.
She made the turn at 3 over after a 39 on the back side. She then followed a bogey at the second hole, her 11th, with the double bogey at the par-3 third after hitting her tee shot right into the hazard and then having to play her third shot from a deep bunker.
But she bounced back by making three consecutive pars before a birdie-bogey-birdie finish to the day. She knocked in a 15-footer at the par-3 seventh and stuck her approach inside of three feet at No. 9.
Hague is the second Ball State women's golfer ever to play in an NCAA Regional. Brittany Kelly earned a spot in the 2011 tournament as an individual.
A total of 24 teams plus six individuals are competing this week at Karsten Creek. The top eight teams along with the top two individuals not associated with one of those teams will advance to the NCAA Nationals.

INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev. - I am, at best, an intermediate skier. My first time on skis was in college, and the many years we lived in Bethesda, Maryland, with our children did not afford us much opportunity to ski regularly or in especially good conditions. I deal much better with ice, which I know how to handle, than I do with powder, which I have yet to explore.
As an intermediate skier, I've always depended on strategically planning my route down any slope. I count on being able to scope out the territory immediately ahead. I find security in the notion that I've always got about three turns anticipated. If one of those doesn't quite work as planned, I can make the necessary adjustments.
On a recent weekend, I found myself at Diamond Peak, first thing in the morning, ready to hit the slopes in my intermediate way. The three previous outings had been in bright sunshine; I felt I knew my way. This particular Sunday, however, proved to be a flat day, weather-wise. Regardless of the goggles or glasses I chose, it was difficult to tell earth from sky, as it were.
Both Crystal and Great Flume kind of reached out into nothingness. They were, however, nicely groomed, and this was my third venture in four days. I headed down with the assumption that my eyes would adjust, and I could make my normal plans.
Such was not to be. The entire morning, I could see nothing. Instead, I was forced to trust my instincts, my training, and my reactions, all of which worked surprisingly and reassuringly well. Instead of tensing whenever I encountered a bump, I simply found myself reacting without thinking about it. I stopped worrying. To the surprise of none of you who skis, the resulting runs were much smoother and easier than the norm.
How like parenting! We try our best to see what lies ahead for our children. We want to anticipate bumps, icy patches, and others who might run across their paths. We cannot always do that, regardless of how carefully we prepare and plan. There comes a time, as parents, when we simply have to trust the training we have given our children, trust the paths we have chosen, trust their ability to react quickly and effectively to whatever they encounter.
Worrying doesn't do a darn bit of good. We suit them up appropriately (as is happening in the Flex Room even as I write) and send them off happily. It's something we do well at Lake Tahoe School, both as parents and as an institution: We help our children find their own ways, trying hard not to impose upon them our own limitations. Often, they are able to see much more clearly than we.
(*In case you are not old enough to remember, this is in reference to the marvelous song, "I Can See Clearly Now," written and recorded by Johnny Nash in, um, 1972.)

If any rising Philadelphia rock band would seem to have it made in today's topsy-turvy music business, it would be Free Energy.
Led by singer Paul Sprangers and guitarist Scott Wells, the band was a breakout hit this year at the influential South by Southwest Music Festival in Austin, Texas.
The Fishtown quintet's fresh take on the clean, classic-rock crunch of 1970s acts such as Cheap Trick and T-Rex has drawn deserved attention both nationally and at home.
Six weeks before its first album, Stuck on Nothing, came out on CD, the band made its TV debut on Late Show With David Letterman. This summer, Free Energy toured the United States and played giant festivals in England and Japan. On Thursday, the band will bring its power-pop sound back to Philadelphia for a show at the First Unitarian Church.

Launched today and I have to say I'm really enjoying it. Hildifons Took is a beast.
While most people probably have reservations about the game that have come from PC MOBAs I'm really damn impressed with it so far. Pretty extensive as far as everything they've included outside of the actual matches and they changed enough in terms of gameplay to make it feel pretty unique.

survey was funded by the National
Science Foundation and administered in June 2010 by Woods
Institute Senior Fellow Jon Krosnick, a professor of communication
and political science at Stanford University. From June 1-7, 1,000
randomly selected American adults were chosen to participate in the
survey via telephone interviews.
to the June 2010 survey, 74
percent of Americans think the Earth's temperature probably
has been heating up over the last 100 years, and 75 percent think
human activity is the reason why.
national surveys released during the last eight months have been
interpreted as showing that fewer and fewer Americans believe
that climate
change is real, human-caused and threatening," said
Krosnick. "But our new survey shows just the opposite."
the number of people who
believe in global warming has increased, Krosnick says there
are people who do not trust climate scientists and they "base
their conclusions on their personal observations of nature."
According to Krosnick, 2008 was the coldest year since 2000 in terms
of average Earth temperature, and these "low-trust individuals
were especially aware of the recent decline in average world
temperatures" and "they were the ones in our survey whose
doubts about global warming have increased since 2007."
surveys reveal a small decline in the proportion of people who
believe global warming has been happening, from 84 percent in 2007 to
74 percent today," said Krosnick. "Statistical analysis of
our data revealed that this decline is attributable to perceptions of
recent weather changes by the minority of Americans who
have been skeptical about climate scientists."
survey also included questions concerning the "climategate"
controversy, where thousands of e-mails and other documents were
leaked from the University of East Anglia's Climatic Research Unit.
Only nine percent of American's said they knew about this controversy
and that it caused them to distrust climate scientists. Despite all
the skeptics, there has been no decline in trust for environmental
believes that the decline in proportion of people is likely
temporary, and the skeptics will probably join the majority who think
global warming is real if the Earth's temperature begins to rise
of those respondents who believe global warming exists, 86 percent
want the government to "limit the amount of air pollution that
businesses emit," 76 percent of respondents want government
limitations on greenhouse gas emissions "generated by
businesses" and 14 percent think the government should not take
action at all unless other countries
like China and India do so as well. Though, in the UK,
Professor Seamus Garvey at the University of Nottingham has designed
a plan to power the UK completely by renewable energy by
2030 through the use of off-shore
energy farms.
survey results include four out of five participants wanting the
government to offer tax breaks to encourage more fuel efficient
vehicles, 84 percent want tax breaks for utilities that use more
green methods for power generation, and 80 percent want more energy
efficient appliances.
quote: Now the earth DOES have heating/cooling cycles. That can explain climate change all by itself. The elephant in the room is the two extra pieces of data - higher CO2 count and ocean acidification. Those pieces of data show that the system is out of balance. If that system being out of balance is causing the climate shifts then that leads directly to us since we have obviously been the source of the increased CO2.

Vocal-Cord Paralysis Afflicts Google CEO Larry Page
Google chief Larry Page ended speculation about his health Tuesday, disclosing that he has a "very rare" vocal condition that has weakened his voice but doesn't affect his day-to-day management.
In a post on the company's Google+ social networking service, the 40-year-old CEO wrote that he had been diagnosed with vocal-cord paralysis. After a bad cold 14 years ago, Mr. Page said that one of his vocal cords became paralyzed and his voice never fully recovered as doctors failed to find a cause.
Related Video
Mr. Page said his condition took a turn for the worse last year when another cold brought problems to his second vocal cord. Since then, however, his condition has improved, he said.
Tuesday, Mr. Page said "I'm fully able to do all I need to at home and at work, though my voice is softer than before." He joked that Google co-founder Sergey Brin "says I'm probably a better CEO because I choose my words more carefully."
The revelation caps what had been a nearly 12-month mystery over Mr. Page's health. Mr. Page missed Google's annual shareholder meeting in June and other events after the Mountain View, Calif., company said he "lost his voice," though he continued to run the company. The lack of details surrounding the matter prompted speculation on Wall Street and elsewhere about whether Mr. Page may have had a serious medical condition.
Mr. Page subsequently told Google employees by email that there was "nothing seriously wrong with me," people familiar with the matter have said. Mr. Page's voice has continued to sound hoarse and raspy during earnings conference calls with investors.
Mr. Page's comments come one day before the start of Google's annual conference in San Francisco for software developers who create applications for Google's Android and Chrome computer-operating systems.
Google declined to make Mr. Page available for an interview and the company had no further comment.
Corporate governance experts said Mr. Page's disclosure was a responsible gesture to investors. Jeffrey Sonnenfeld, a senior associate dean at Yale School of Management, said Mr. Page's post stands "in sharp contrast with [former Apple Inc. AAPL -1.55 % CEO] Steve Jobs's denials and efforts to disguise the truth for a fair bit of time."
Mr. Jobs died in 2011 at the age of 56 after suffering from pancreatic cancer. Apple's few disclosures about his health were criticized at times.
People in such high-profile jobs at public companies have a "responsibility to the public" to disclose their condition because they are so "central to the strategic value of the business," Mr. Sonnenfeld said.
Mr. Page's condition of vocal cord paralysis is caused when one or both of the vocal cords don't open and close correctly, resulting in difficulty speaking or breathing.
Michael Benninger, chairman of Cleveland Clinic's Head & Neck Institute, said based on Mr. Page's post, it appeared he had bilateral paralysis of his vocal cords, or folds. One fold appears to be improving while the other hasn't, he said.
Bilateral paralysis is less common than unilateral paralysis of the vocal folds, Dr. Benninger said, and can be more difficult to treat as the goal is to get the folds further apart to improve the airway but not too far apart to worsen the voice. The paralysis is treatable, and there are surgical options available.
But "the challenge with bilateral is it's really more of an art, getting them to just the right distance where people can breathe better but still have a strong voice," said Dr. Benninger. It doesn't appear Mr. Page had surgery based on his Google+ post, Dr. Benninger added.
Dr. Benninger said the condition would "almost never" results in total voice loss.
In his post, Mr. Page offered more details on how his vocal cord paralysis has rippled out to other aspects of his health, including that his ability to exercise at "peak aerobic capacity is somewhat reduced" because of the vocal cord's effect on his breathing.
Mr. Page also wrote that it's unclear if his vocal cord issues are related to separate problems with his thyroid gland, though he added that the diagnosis in 2003 of Hashimoto's thyroiditis was "a fairly common benign inflammatory condition of the thyroid which causes me no problems."
Mr. Page added that he was funding a research program at the Voice Health Institute that will be led by Steven Zeitels of Harvard Medical School.

4 Artists Who Should Probably Just Take a Break for a While
#2. Seth MacFarlane
I don't know how old most of our readers are (there is literally not a single piece of demographic information that this site trusts me with), so I'm not sure what version of Family Guy you're all familiar with. You might know the current version, the show that feels more like an ironic commentary on itself, a super meta Family Guy full of intentionally alienating non sequiturs and in-jokes that are way too self-aware. The "saved" Family Guy that was rescued from cancellation several years ago.
You may not remember the version of Family Guy that was worth saving. I do. I remember a show that was hilarious and exciting and completely different from everything else on television at the time. I don't know if I'd call it ahead of its time, but when it debuted, it certainly stood alone. The references were sharp, and their sheer joke-per-episode ratio was incredible.
Then it got cancelled, which was bad. Then it came back, which was worse.
You did it, Seth. You're infallible.
If you want to know what happens to a kid who never gets told "No," look at Seth MacFarlane's career. The resurrection of Family Guy was the worst thing to happen to his ego, because it was basically a way for him to tell himself "Hey, I was right. All of the higher-ups who said the show was too weird, or that not enough people watched it, or that I was more obsessed with making obscure references than I was with telling stories and, occasionally, jokes -- that was ALL HORSESHIT. I never should have doubted myself. And I never will again."
That's what happened. Fox apologized and then handed Seth MacFarlane the keys, and that's why the majority of Sunday night TV is owned by MacFarlane. The freshness that made Family Guy great when it first came out is gone now. How can it stand out among its peers when its peers are also MacFarlane-created cartoons about dysfunctional families and animals that talk for no reason?
He's even taken his brand and wit elsewhere; his first movie, Ted, will be out later this year, and it's about a not-too-bright New Englander whose best friend is a vulgar Teddy bear that walks and talks and does inappropriate things, for no reason. The jokes all sound like Family Guy jokes, only with (mostly) real people instead of cartoons. Mark Wahlberg, as the dumb man-child, plays the Peter Griffin role in this movie, basically. Also, Seth does the voice of the bear, and he's using the exact voice he uses for Peter Griffin, so I guess he's also being the Peter Griffin part in this movie, and just everyone's Peter Griffin, it's a goddamn Peter Griffin parade. He's his own Tim Burton to his own Johnny Depp, constantly reminding himself that he's infallible. How will MacFarlane ever learn to doubt himself if he's so wrapped up in the amazing American underdog story that is his tremendous comeback?
He's clever and talented and very bright, but with all of his new power, he's also the Establishment over at Fox at this point. And no comedian should be the Establishment; it's just not how comedy works.
If he could take some time away from the perpetual motion device of Family Guy American Dad Cleveland Show Ted, he might actually learn some new comedy tricks (or learn that making a thing talk when ordinarily that thing wouldn't talk isn't technically a "trick").
#1. Weezer
In 1994, Alice in Chains was very popular. Jeff Buckley released one of the most depressing (and critically acclaimed) albums of all time. Bands like Pearl Jam, Soundgarden and Stone Temple Pilots were all over the charts. Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain killed himself.
In short, almost everything musical in 1994 was taken very, very seriously.
We are very serious adult men. This song's about a school shooting.
And then Weezer showed up.
We're not! This album is our blue one!
Weezer was one of the only non-Weird-Al-Yankovic-related bands in the mid-'90s that weren't afraid to say, "We're making silly rock and roll music with our instruments and having a very good time!" They were funny, and goofy, and never seemed to take themselves as seriously as the other popular acts that surrounded them. They only wrote catchy pop songs with easy-to-remember choruses, and their songs almost never lasted more than four minutes. They didn't write about fights, or black hole suns; they wrote about how much fun surfing is, and how that one guy looks like Buddy Holly.
It sounds easy and stupid (it sort of is), but it was so refreshing to hear a band that wasn't afraid to sing about how sweet it was being in a band. Their first two albums, Weezer ("The Blue Album") and Pinkerton, have some of the catchiest and most fun rock-for-nerds songs I've ever heard.
And then they Just. Kept. Going.
It's weird to hear new Weezer music. They're still just as goofy, but it all feels so manufactured now. Rivers Cuomo is still writing the same kinds of songs he wrote when he was 19, but he's over 40 years old now. Watching scrawny Rivers sing about sweaters in the '90s, I thought, "Oh, boy, this is so fun!" but watching him sing about eating candy and hearing him try to say things like "I'mma do the things that I wanna do" at 42 years old is more than a little off-putting. You're a father, Rivers. Stop singing about how rad you think everything is and go home and play with your kid.
Weezer showing up in the mid-'90s was important; they were a clear reaction to music that had gone a little too far up its own ass. But it's 2012. We don't need jesters anymore; music is goofy as shit now. One of the biggest bands in America right now is called "fun.," people win pop stardom on television and something called Skrillex got famous for creating an album that tries to sonically represent the sound of two fax machines fucking.
Weezer, you've served your purpose. Please take care of your children.
Daniel O'Brien is Cracked's senior writer (ladies), and he'd probably do well to take some time off for a while. He'll be speaking on a comedy panel on 5/16/12 for Digital LA alongside Funny or Die's Scott Gairdner and CollegeHumor's Spencer Griffin. Check it out if you like things.

Klinefelter syndrome is a genetic condition that results when a boy is born with an extra copy of the X chromosome. Klinefelter syndrome is a common genetic condition affecting males.
Klinefelter syndrome adversely affects testicular growth, and this can result in smaller than normal testicles. This can lead to lower production of the sex hormone testosterone. Klinefelter syndrome may also cause reduced muscle mass, reduced body and facial hair, and enlarged breast tissue. The effects of Klinefelter syndrome vary, and not everyone with it develops these signs and symptoms.
Klinefelter syndrome often isn't diagnosed until adulthood. Most men with Klinefelter syndrome produce little or no sperm. But assisted reproductive procedures may make it possible for some men with Klinefelter syndrome to father children.
Many boys with Klinefelter syndrome have few noticeable symptoms, and the condition may go undiagnosed until adulthood. For others, the condition has a noticeable effect on growth or appearance. Klinefelter syndrome may also cause speech and learning problems in some boys.
Signs and symptoms of Klinefelter syndrome vary by age and may include:
See a doctor to rule out Klinefelter syndrome or another health condition if you or your son has:
Slow development during infancy or boyhood. If your son seems to be developing more slowly than other boys, see your son's doctor. Common signs and symptoms of Klinefelter syndrome include enlarged breast tissue (gynecomastia), small genitals, and small, firm testicles. Though some variation in physical and mental development is normal, it's best to check with a doctor if you have any concerns.
Delays in growth and development can be the first sign of a number of conditions that need treatment — including Klinefelter syndrome. If your son does have Klinefelter syndrome, early treatment, including speech therapy, can help prevent or minimize problems.
Klinefelter syndrome occurs as a result of a random error that causes a male to be born with an extra sex chromosome. Of the 46 human chromosomes, the two sex chromosomes determine a person's sex. In females, both sex chromosomes are X (written as XX). Males have an X and a Y sex chromosome (XY).
Most often, Klinefelter syndrome occurs because of one extra copy of the X chromosome in each cell (XXY). Extra copies of genes on the X chromosome can interfere with male sexual development and fertility.
Some males with Klinefelter syndrome have the extra X chromosome only in some of their cells (mosaic Klinefelter syndrome). Rarely, a more severe form of Klinefelter can occur if a male has more than one extra copy of the X chromosome.
Klinefelter syndrome isn't an inherited condition. Rather, the additional sex chromosome results from a random error during the formation of the egg or sperm or after conception.
Klinefelter syndrome stems from a random genetic event. The risk of a child being born with Klinefelter syndrome isn't increased by anything a parent does or doesn't do. For older mothers, the risk is higher but only slightly.
Complications of Klinefelter syndrome can include:
A number of complications caused by Klinefelter syndrome are related to low testosterone (hypogonadism). Testosterone replacement therapy reduces the risk of certain health problems, especially when therapy is started at the beginning of puberty.
A small percentage of males with Klinefelter syndrome are diagnosed before birth. This might happen if a pregnant woman has a procedure to examine fetal cells drawn from the amniotic fluid (amniocentesis) or placenta (chorionic villus sampling). Most women who have these procedures are older than age 35 or have a family history of genetic conditions.
If you notice symptoms of Klinefelter syndrome in yourself or your son, see a doctor. Your doctor will do a thorough physical examination and ask detailed questions about symptoms and your (or your son's) health. Be prepared to discuss when you, or your son, reached certain puberty milestones, such as the development of pubic and armpit hair, growth of the penis, and increased testicle size.
Take a few steps to make sure you make the best of the doctor visit:
Preparing a list of questions can help make the most of your appointment. You might want to ask the following questions:
In addition to the questions that you've prepared, don't hesitate to ask questions as they occur to you during the appointment.
As part of a physical examination, your doctor will likely examine your (or your son's) genital area and chest and may do tests to check reflexes and mental functioning.
The main tests used to diagnose Klinefelter syndrome are:
If you or your son is diagnosed with Klinefelter syndrome, early treatment can help minimize problems. You might work with a team of health care providers, including a doctor who specializes in diagnosing and treating disorders involving the body's glands and hormones (endocrinologist), a speech therapist, a pediatrician, a physical therapist, a genetic counselor, a reproductive medicine or infertility specialist, and a counselor or psychologist.
Although there's no way to repair the sex chromosome changes due to Klinefelter syndrome, treatments can help minimize its effects. The earlier a diagnosis is made and treatment is started, the greater the benefits. But it's never too late to get help.
Treatment for Klinefelter syndrome may include:
Testosterone replacement therapy. Males with Klinefelter syndrome don't produce enough of the male hormone testosterone, and this can have lifelong effects. Starting at the time of the usual onset of puberty, testosterone replacement can help treat or prevent a number of problems.
Testosterone may be given as an injection or with a gel or patch on the skin.
Testosterone replacement therapy allows a boy to undergo the body changes that normally occur at puberty, such as developing a deeper voice, growing facial and body hair, and increasing muscle mass and penis size.
Testosterone therapy can also improve bone density and reduce the risk of fractures. It will not result in testicle enlargement or improve infertility.
Fertility treatment. Most men with Klinefelter syndrome are unable to father children, because no sperm are produced in the testicles. Some men with Klinefelter syndrome may have some minimal sperm production.
One option that may benefit men with minimal sperm production is a procedure called intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). During ICSI, sperm is removed from the testicle with a biopsy needle and injected directly into the egg.
Other alternatives for having children include adoption and artificial insemination with donor sperm.
With treatment and support, men with Klinefelter syndrome can expect to lead a normal life. The condition may cause minor symptoms that are hardly noticeable. Educational and social support can make a positive difference.
To help your son cope with Klinefelter syndrome and promote healthy mental, physical, emotional and social development:
Men with Klinefelter syndrome can benefit from several self-care measures:

Ameristar Wins with Oracle GoldenGate's Heterogeneous Real-Time Data Integration
By Irem Radzik-Oracle on Oct 31, 2012
Today we announced a press release about another successful project with Oracle GoldenGate. This time at Ameristar. Ameristar is a casino gaming company and needed a single data integration solution to connect multiple heterogeneous systems to its Teradata data warehouse.
The project involves integration of Ameristar's promotional and gaming data from 14 data sources across its 7 casino hotel properties in real time into a central Teradata data warehouse. The source systems include the Aristocrat gaming and MGT promotional management platforms running on Microsoft SQL Server 2000 databases.
As you can notice, there was no Oracle Database involved in this project, but Ameristar's IT leadership knew that GoldenGate's strong heterogeneous and real-time data integration capabilities is the right technology for their data warehousing project. With GoldenGate Ameristar was able to reduce data latency to the enterprise data warehouse, and use this real-time customer information for marketing teams in improving overall customer experience. Ameristar customers receive more targeted and timely campaign offers, and the company has more up-to-date visibility into financial metrics of the company.
One other key benefit the company experienced with GoldenGate is in operational costs. The previous data capture solution Ameristar used was trigger based and required a lot of effort to manage. They needed dedicated IT staff to maintain it. With GoldenGate, the solution runs seamlessly without needing a fully-dedicated staff, giving the IT team at Ameristar more resources for their other IT projects.
If you want to learn more about GoldenGate and the latest features for Oracle Database and non-Oracle databases, please watch our on demand webcast about Oracle GoldenGate 11g Release 2.

Is volunteerism the new vacation?
15 February 2008
by Jonathan Cheng
Queens, Australia:
Students are increasingly spending their vacations immersed in a variety
of volunteer work. Royal Military College student Wesley Tse spent last
summer in Haiti with a religious organization helping to plan and
develop a new orphanage.
"I have this desire to help people and I wanted to take what I am learning in school and apply it," he said. Tse's work involved 10 days of surveying the build site, administering physical testing and creating preliminary designs for the new orphanage. Tse said the trip was a huge learning experience for him.

I went to bed very late last night and it hadn't been snowing then, so I thought he was just looking at frost on the neighbor's roof.
Uh, no.
There was snow. Lots of it. Enough for a two-hour school delay.
I quickly woke Jeff up so he could get the driveway cleared in time for work and garbage day!
Then I bundled all the kids up and took a picture, of course.

The easy part was figuring out what I want to order, the hard part is coming up with a purchasing strategy to actually place the order. Heres why
My original plan was to buy a couple of FJB sleeves but after seeing I cant buy just the sleeves I moved onto plan B, which is Buy a FJB Paradise with the case, and either a Heavenly or a Forbidden/Squeeze. Both the Heavenly and Forbidden is available sleeve only on the FL site, but on the FJ site you can only get a Heavenly as part of the 3 for 2 deal and the Forbidden/Squeezeis only available as a sleeve + case the same as Paradise.
Plan C would be buying the Paradise on the FJ site and buying the Heavenly or Forbidden on the FL site, but that would be two separate orders and not applicable for the free shipping on orders over $100.
So that leads to Plan D and E Buy the Paradise and pick some other sleeve they will let you buy as a sleeve only (Vortex is a good option) and still be over the $100 dollar mark for free shipping Or Scrap getting the Paradise altogether and get both the Heavenly and Forbidden on the FL site.
See the dilemma LOL When I decided I was ready to get a couple more textures a few days ago I had no idea how complicated it would be.
Anyone recommend any of the above option over others? Ive been told that Paradise is worth it, but Heavenly and Forbidden look solid as well.
Im probably going to wait til Monday to place the order in case they decide to do a 4th of July sale (though that could easily lead to a plan F).

BACK CREEK VALLEY - Joan Bittner knows that living in the country means sometimes sharing her home with wildlife, including snakes.
And up until now, she's had pretty good luck although there's been the occasional copperhead spotted around the hilly yard surrounding her house.
But her luck ran out May 29 when Bittner, who was weeding a hydrangea bush, was bitten on her left-hand ring finger by a copperhead and ended up in City Hospital's ICU for four days.

Back Creek Valley resident Joan Bittner recently spent four days in the hospital after having been bit by a copperhead as she was doing some gardening at her rural home.
Even when it happened, Bittner didn't think she'd been bit by a snake, but instead believed it was a bee sting or spider bite.
"All of a sudden, I felt this horrendous sensation in my fingers. Then when I looked, I noticed three spots of blood. So I ran just about 60 feet to my kitchen sink to rinse it off, but by that time my knuckle had already doubled in size. And then in just about five minutes, it had turned black and blue," Bittner said.
Ultimately, her husband, Jim, began raking around the flower bed and found the copperhead. That was important, because a snake bite victim has to be able to identify the type of snake before antivenom can be given, she said.
The couple immediately left for the hospital and also called 911 to ask them to notify doctors about her worsening condition, Bittner said.
"At that time, I was worried about losing my finger or possibly even dying," she said.
Luck was once again with her, however, since antivenom was available and eventually administered - at first, drop by drop while doctors monitored her body's reaction to it.
Although the swelling continued, it finally stopped near the top of her arm. In the end, she was given 10 vials of antivenom, but it takes a while for the pain to stop, Bittner said.
"In the beginning at the hospital, there was still a horrible burning sensation which even morphine barely took the edge off. But then again, it takes 24 hours for the venom to work through your system," she said, adding that the bite eventually blistered but is now covered with a scab.
So far there's also not been any sign of nerve damage or a serum reaction to the antivenom, which normally occurs within seven to 10 days, she said.
Surprisingly, poisonous snake bites are very uncommon locally, according to Bittner, who said one doctor told her he'd only treated two in 15 years practicing here.
It's definitely been a learning experience for Bittner, who said that years ago she'd almost stepped on two copperheads - located in two different spots in her yard. At another time, she nearly accidentally grabbed another copperhead while weeding beside her driveway.
"In the future, I will definitely be doing the bulk of my gardening, especially weeding and cleaning out beds, when snakes aren't out - like in the fall, winter and early spring. And I don't think I'll be doing it by hand anymore," she said.

I'm a musician in Nashville. I'm originally from Muscle Shoals, Alabama, where I was raised in the Church of Christ. The very conservative anti-science thinking screwed up my worldview for a long time. I still have a major guilt complex from it. I stopped attending church around 17 or 18, but it took me until I was 22 to realize that there was no magic being in the sky looking out for me, that I should have paid more attention in science classes, that people who didn't follow the Bible to the letter were not in danger of burning in a lake of fire (and thus were not in need of "saving"), and that I had probably been behaving very ridiculously for my entire life but had not been self-aware enough to realize it. It's been kind of awkward transitioning. I tried being "agnostic" for a while, but with a little help from Richard Dawkins I realized that I was really just an atheist. Or rather I just don't believe. Calling myself an atheist implies that I'm a member of some kind of group that is lumped together because of what the members refuse to believe rather than what they do. I kind of don't like the idea, but I do think that due to the state of things in this culture (U.S.A./Bible Belt) it has become important for atheists to find each other, discuss ideas, and "come out" so that we can no longer be marginalized. I realize it's a long time coming because God is such a taboo, but there are so many nonbelievers out there who are either terrified that they'll be punished with hell, terrified of the social repercussions, or maybe they're just a couple of science lessons away from realizing the difference between fact and... nonsense. I'm ready to learn more and try and make a difference.
Hope I meet some interesting people here!
I'm a musician in the Nashville area.
Hi doubingED,
Most of our activity here in West TN revolves around our meetup groups - we have a free thought and an atheist group that are pretty active. Send me you You Tube channel link so I can check it out. Glad you are here.
Hey everybody, I'll be moving to Nashville this summer.
I once had a car burst into flames in a parking lot after a trip I took to an atheist rally.
You really should know better than to try and park in a church parking lot. LOL!
Welcome WW.
Me and my family have been living near Cookeville, TN for the last 4 years. It is saturated with churches and religion. My children's school has a huge white bible predominately displayed in their lobby. When asked, they claim it has historical value and 'deters the devil'. I have two sons--ages 16 & 8--that attend this school (and they still spank which blows my mind). I actually witnessed a man dragging a cross down Hwy 111 with a bunch of brightly colored signs stuck to it a couple of years ago.
Any atheist/freethinkers in Clarksville, TN want to have a get together? I've been an atheist since my teens, but have only recently felt the urge to seek out my fellow non-believers. I have lived in Clarksville since 1972 and find the religious atmosphere here really repressive. I'd dearly love to be able to sit down and chat with others of like mind and maybe have a few laughs together.
I'm a retired systems administrator who is a lifelong geek -- I love science and speculating about the future, have been a scifi fan since my teens. Let's get together!

It's not a PACKED Wal-Mart, but I'd say it gets pretty bad. I might get my mom and brother on Amazon, too; at the same time. When the sale starts, we all hit buy. One of us is bound to get the game, right?
If we do get it, how will we know? Because say we all get a copy; we'll want to cancel so others get one.
it'll put it in your cart if you were successful. then whoever gets it can just make a call. you have 20 minutes to cancel it if you don't want it (in case your brother and mother both get the same game).

Split by Avasthi
Some of the best fiction books take a situation of which you have very little first-hand knowledge and through sympathetic characters and solid storytelling create some sort of understanding of what living that life would be like. Swati Avasthi's first Young Adult novel about domestic violence and abuse, Split, is a great example. Avasthi is able to allow the reader to care about the main character and his struggles with both the violence of his father and the legacy he is hoping to avoid.
Teenage Jace leaves his parents' house with almost nothing after a particularly brutal fight with his father. He sets off from Chicago with his camera and the New Mexico address of his older brother who disappeared several years earlier. Jace's brother Christian is less than thrilled to see him with a bruised face despite having come from and escaped the same back ground. Their transition is rocky and a lesser book would have trivialized this time. Instead their difficulties felt genuine.
This book isn't always easy to read. Jace is really struggling to come to terms with his recent past and the path isn't always easy. His rawness is moving. And the abuse scenes as inflicted by both Jace and especially his father are extremely painful. With that said, I thought this was an excellent book about teenagers making tough decisions and growing up with a difficult past.
Despite some of the emotional gut wrenching, I would recommend this book to a wide range of teen readers who like "real life" stories.
This book was nominated for a 2012-2013 Eliot Rosewater Indiana High School Book Award. Check out the entire list of Rosie Nominations. The winner will be selected in May.

a group or gathering of three or more lesbians. The term is a portmanteau of the words "birkenstock" and "flock." Birkenstock refers to the footwear commonly worn by dykes & lesbians.
When we were at Home Depot, there was a huge birkenflock of dykes standing out front near their pickup trucks.
