Awesome! Thanks for the info. Glad I bought and redeemed it before this whole Kingmaker upgrade/trial has been set in order.
Yes I did, and refer to these two threads for why there was such a large update.
IF I read it correctly, aside from the minor changes there is going to be a new version of war of the roses released as Kingmaker edition, a free upgrade for all those that own the game that includes new maps and Assault and Assault Gate modes. There will be a free trial of the game and in preperation of that this patch puts that in place. The edition should release at the end of March. And there will be a Brian Blessed voice over premium DLC for $4.99 sometime this month. That is all paraphrasing and off memory but if you read those you will get more detailed information. Hope that helps and I'm pretty excited the new stuff looks like it will help the longevity of the game.
EDIT refer to this article. http://www.digitalsp...-roses-dlc.html
Nice that they reduced pole arm thrust damage too (or maybe a lot more than just that...). I only played the game for 30 minutes or so, and too many times did I get instakilled by a pole arm thrust.

Zach Mosay put in five solid innings on the mound and made big contributions with his bat Wednesday to lead the Green Wave baseball team to an 8-0 victory over Ashley Ridge.
"It took us a while to warm up at the plate but I'm really proud of our pitching tonight," Summerville coach Burt Bazzle said. "The way our guys threw allowed us to get our bats going a little. We got some hits and other guys found ways to get on and that was big for us."
Mosay and reliever Johnston McCurry combined for a two-hitter. Mosay threw the first five innings and only surrendered two hits and two walks while striking out seven batters. McCurry pitched the final two innings and surrendered no hits and one walk while fanning three batters.
John Sanchez took the loss for Ashley Ridge after pitching the first five innings and surrendering five runs. He fanned eight Wave batters and surrendered four walks.
At the plate, Mosay went 2 for 4 with two RBIs. Sophomore outfielder Matty Powell was also 2 for 4 at bat. He scored two runs and drove another run in. Craig Lilenthal, McCurry and Mosay all reached base three times for Summerville.
The Wave improved to 7-7, with a 4-0 mark in Region 8-AAAA with the win. Ashley Ridge dropped to 4-9, 1-4.
McCurry led off the top of the first inning with a walk. He moved to second on a groundout and to third on a wild pitch and scored on a grounder by Miles Goodwin. After that, Summerville struggled offensively for a while.
Ashley Ridge had its best scoring opportunity in the bottom of the second. Kyle Hongsermeir singled and the Swamp Foxes then loaded the bases when Hunter Grover and Aaron Miller walked. But Summerville got out of the inning with a force out at home. In all, Ashley Ridge stranded six base runners while Summerville stranded nine.
Summerville added a run in the fourth. Matty Powell reached on an errant throw and moved to second on a sacrifice bunt by Michael Powell and to third on a wild pitch. The Ashley Ridge catcher's throw to third was wide, which allowed the base runner to come home for a 2-0 Summerville lead.
The Wave scored three runs in the fifth off two hits and a few Swamp Fox miscues. Lilenthal reached on an error and advanced on another error. He moved to third on a groundout and scored on a wild pitch. Later in the inning, Matty Powell drove in courtesy runner Daquan Wrighten with a single and scored on a double by Michael Powell for a 5-0 Wave lead.
After Summerville loaded the bases in the sixth, Mosay singled to drive in McCurry and Lilenthal. The final run came in the top of the seventh when shortstop Devonte Base plated Michael Powell with a stand-up double.
On March 29, Summerville travels to Fort Dorchester. Ashley Ridge's next game will be in the Hanahan Invitational Tournament scheduled to begin April 1.

Background: In PANORAMA 2, PAN + BTZ + DEX recaptured responses in heavily pretreated pts with BTZ-refractory MM; overall response rate (ORR), clinical benefit rate (CBR), and progression-free survival (PFS) were 34.5%, 52.7%, and 5.4 months, respectively. Here, we evaluate clinical response per baseline characteristics.
Methods: Response was based on European Group of Blood and Marrow Transplantation 1998 criteria. High-risk cytogenetics was defined as del(17p), t(4;14), or t(14;16). Quality of life (QoL) was measured with Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy/Gynecologic Oncology Group-Neurotoxicity (FACT/GOG-Ntx) v4.0 scale.
Results: Response rate trended higher in pts whose prior BTZ therapy was not their last line of therapy (Table). Although no trend in response rate was noted, PFS appeared longer in pts progressing within 60 days of their last BTZ-containing regimen than in those progressing on their last BTZ-containing regimen. In the 14 pts with high-risk cytogenetics, ORR was 42.9% and CBR was 71.4%. The mean FACT/GOG-Ntx subscale did not exhibit a clinically meaningful change from baseline (mean ± standard deviation [SD], 114.2 ± 21.1; n = 41) to cycle 9 day 1 (day 169; 104.2 ± 15.4; n = 16) as determined by 50% SD threshold for minimally important difference. Other QoL parameters were similarly unchanged.
Conclusions: PAN + BTZ + DEX demonstrated activity regardless of baseline demographics in heavily pretreated pts with BTZ-refractory MM.

KINGS BEACH — Early-season openings are the norm at Old Brockway Golf Course. Just never quite this early.
The historic nine-hole course in Kings Beach opened March 16 — the earliest date in its 89-year history, said owner Lane Lewis. The previous record was March 24, set in 1995. Last year it opened April 11.
"The course dried out great. And it's only been sprinkling here this week. Old Brockway is in the banana belt of Tahoe, where it gets the least amount of precipitation, so we're able to open a lot earlier. We start composting the snow in early February," said Lewis, explaining how the Old Brockway staff spreads a black, nitrified humus compost over the snow during the late winter, melting it two to three times faster than normal. "It also perks up the grass a little bit when it gets down there."
Lewis said the course is in as fine of shape as it's ever been at the start of spring. He couldn't say the same last year, as dry winter conditions left the grass ragged come April.
"Everything turned out fantastic this year," Lewis said. "Last year was the most difficult year we've ever had agronomically speaking, because the drought period from November through January when we didn't have any precipitation, and we had no (snow) coverage and it got so cold, everything didn't turn out so good. But this year everything came out excellent."
Lewis credited an early-winter blanketing of snow, which served as insulation for the grass through the cold ensuing months.
Aside from the fortunate winter conditions, the course was created with the intent of early openings, as Old Brockway designer John Duncan Dunn laid out the fairways in a way that best soaked up morning sun, as well as sun low in the southern sky, said Lewis, who typically targets The Masters weekend in early April for opening.
The course's latest opening date was May 27, in the heavy snow year of 1982, Lewis said.
Old Brockway is open seven days a week from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Rates are $30 for nine holes, $50 for 18 holes and $25 at twilight.

9 YouTube Videos That Prove Anyone Can Get Sober
On October 30, 2009, I quit drinking. But instead of just quietly giving it up and moving on with my life like a normal person, I decided to record it and post the process online, farting out a YouTube video every few months to create a kind of Behind the Music episode played in reverse (where the band starts out drunk and impoverished and slowly gets a record deal). This went on for the next two years and I'm going to spoil the ending -- there was no relapse and I'm still sober.
Anyway, I've gotten thousands of messages about these from people saying they've helped them, which is a weird place for me to be in. I'm not the helping type. I've always pictured myself as a guy that society just had to sigh and deal with -- a bug on the windshield that the wipers just can't quite get rid of.
But here we are, so let's enjoy this painful yet inspirational retrospective together.
#9. "I've decided I'm going to quit drinking ... for a while."
This video is hard for me to watch. I've had complete Internet strangers tell me that they had to watch it in chunks because it does get painful ... especially toward the end.
This is the night that I made the decision to quit drinking, and I'm buttfuck drunk. I start out the video on my seventeenth beer, and finish it with number eighteen. For ten excruciating minutes, I lethargically stumble over my words and try to explain why I had made the decision to quit. Again, drinking the whole time. It's not quite a David Hasselhoff moment ... but then again, I don't think anyone but David Hasselhoff himself can get this fucking drunk and still live.
Watching that, the hardest part for me isn't so much the messy rambling or the saggy drunk eyes ... it's a phrase I used, that, if you've ever tried to quit anything, you spotted right away. It's the Safety Net.
Specifically, when I said that I had decided to quit drinking, I added, "for a while." I did this twice. For people who don't have that addiction demon living in your skull, it may seem like an arbitrary difference in wording. But to someone like me -- and there are hundreds of them in my forum inbox -- it means everything. It's the addiction planning the relapse in advance. It's the addict laying down a soft landing spot so that later we can go back into drinking again and tell anyone who confronts us, "Well, I wasn't quitting forever. I was just giving it up for a while to see if I could."
Listen for it the next time you hear a friend say they're trying to give up alcohol or whatever their vice is. "I'm going to take some time to get this under control" or "Yeah I'm definitely going to cut back for a while to prove I'm not addicted." You see the irony -- if you can't give it up forever, then you're an addict. Otherwise it's like you're agreeing to get engaged but making sure to keep your old girlfriends' numbers around.
Hey, a dude has to keep his options open.
That video is my rock bottom, and it's there on YouTube for everyone to see. Not an actor portraying an alcoholic, followed by a montage over some upbeat, cheesy 90s music as he cleans up his life and proves to Jennifer Aniston that he's finally become a man worthy of her vagina. It's a real person in a real crisis, begging for help at the lowest point of his life.
#8. "I had what the doctors and I thought was a heart attack ..."
The first day without drinking was tough, and you can see it on my face like knuckle prints. You don't even have to pay attention to what I'm saying. Look how exhausted I am. Listen to me ramble at the end about cooking dinner -- I couldn't hold a thought to save my life, and my hands would just not stop moving. That fidgety, constant motion didn't stop for almost a week, and it annoyed the living shit out of me. I'm sure it annoyed everyone else, too, but at that point I could care less about what they thought. The only thing I was concerned about was making it through a conversation without stabbing someone in the eye with the ass end of an ink pen.
You have to remember that at the time, I was doing a shitty manual labor job, washing semis for a living. Which meant that not only was I dealing with the public all day, but my customers were exclusively truck drivers -- some of the roughest, most brash, hardest to please customers on the planet. Many of them were confrontational and aggressive, which is hard enough to deal with under normal circumstances. Doing it while going through withdrawal was bordering impossible.
But getting through that first day was a milestone for me. It was literally the first full day I had spent sober in several years. I wasn't sure I could do it. The mere thought scared the living fuck out of me, but this video marked the beginnings of the most dramatic positive changes I have ever experienced.
#7. "I can't really say it was a human figure ... it was like a huge blob ..."
Day 3 brought the hallucinations and flu-like symptoms, both directly connected to alcohol withdrawal. A ghostly blob in my bedroom, and the voice of my dead father:
When I mention that I hung a sign on my apartment door saying alcohol was not allowed inside, that was not a metaphor. It was an actual, physical sign. If you don't grasp the significance of that, imagine hanging a sign at your place that tells your friends they can't come in if they intend to do any of the friend things they're used to doing. "No Video Game Zone" or "All Freestyle Rapping is Forbidden Here" or "No Tattooing dicks on Steve." Think about how they would interpret that. Think about how long they would remain your friends.
#6. "I shit a moose."
The fourth day of sobriety was a huge turning point.
Not only was it the hardest, but it was the day that the world suddenly opened up. I was starting to see and understand things that my drunken mind was used to blurring out. I was slowly waking up, and for the first time in a week, my sense of humor was starting to peek its head out. That was an enormous step for me because I've written comedy on the internet off and on since the late 90s. It's one of the big parts of my personality. So, one of my big concerns was that I wouldn't be able to be funny once I removed booze from the equation. I had always written my articles while pants shittingly drunk -- since long before I wrote for Cracked.
This was, incidentally, also the day that I realized that when your body is used to twenty years of "the beer shits," it doesn't know how to react when you change fuel. It goes the opposite direction and turns all of your fecal matter into concrete. Or as I describe it in the video, shitting a moose. Antlers and all.
#5. "I didn't threaten anyone, I didn't kill anyone ..."
Addicts call it "The pink cloud." It's the wonderful, feel-good stretch of days that you get right when the recovery is paying off. The physical downsides of withdrawal are pretty much over with, and you start seeing the positive effects of sobriety: more money, feeling physically better, mind clearing up. This brings on a rush of positive feelings and optimism that, unfortunately, does not last.
Well, Day 5 found me smack dab in the middle of the pink cloud:
Man, that night and the next several were awesome. I could have taken on the whole world, and I let everyone know it at the end of that video. But, like the hallucinations and the shakes, the pink cloud is a symptom.
When that starts to disappear, that's when relapses happen. The return to some kind of normalcy feels like a descent back into bad times. You think you're slipping and you need something to get you back up to that high again. An alcoholic's mind automatically says, "Booze! Booze will get you back up there!"
Also, holy shit, I forgot how much I hated that cheapass Walmart futon. Anyone who owns one of those things is an asshole.

Yet another closed thread but started up again for no valid reason.
2. yes, it was 'dormant' because the OP has long since replied on the 15th January and its clear the thread has finished. Well, to all those in the real world anyway.
3. this is the 4th time you have placed this quote in your replies. I wrote that on the 13th January, which to you, as you don't seem able to work it out all on your own is 4 months ago.
4. read post 9 (if it is within your ability to actually read it)
So, the question still stands, Why? Why? Why? Oh let me guess, MrDanno was absolutely correct YOU ARE A TROLL. You trawl through old threads looking to cause trouble in your puerile way. You really are pathetic.

There has been much made about comparing the talents Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi. Who is the more complete player? The most effective player? The more successful player? So many questions, so many answers.
The prevalence of Barcelona over Madrid in recent times has allowed for the debate to reignite, giving Lionel Messi the upper hand. Although poor Argentinian performances, contrasted with solid Portugal performances has given people a basis to argue that Ronaldo is the more complete player.
Either way you look at it, arguments exist on both sides.
So now is your chance, let us know who you think is the better of the two. Leave your comments below and check back here for articles relating to the issue. It will be updated regularly and your involvement would go a long way to ensuring we can come to a verdict.
We hope to have a verdict by this time tomorrow.
So who is the more complete player, Cristiano Ronaldo or Lionel Messi?
The Great Football Debate will look to be a weekly addition to the World Football page on Bleacher Report. The live blog style debate will question topics currently causing debate in the football world, providing another outlet for the Bleacher Report community to voice their opinion of certain issues.
The first debate about goal-line technology turned out to be a little long, suggesting that perhaps a debate spread over five days is not the way to go. Therefore this debate will run over a single day, meaning that you have to get your opinion down in the comments fast.
When leaving your arguments in the comments below, begin with either CRISTIANO RONALDO or LIONEL MESSI (or NEUTRAL but preferably not), simply because it will prove to be easier to compile ideas into one concise argument. Make sure to give reasons, examples, videos and if so links to articles that discuss the issue.

Keep religion out of public schools
I find myself questioning the motivation behind a recent letter writer's attempt to trivialize the importance of keeping religion out of the classroom. The Establishment Clause of the U.S. Constitution's First Amendment is now understood to require the separation of church and state, and I am certain that the writer has been enjoying his right, along with the rest of us, to worship as he chooses, or to not worship at all.
When a public school teacher hung a poster displaying a biblical quote in the classroom, the writer deliberately mischaracterized her actions by defending teachers' supposed right to "decorate their rooms." More accurately, what the teacher had done was post a quote expressing her personal religious sentiment. When a student objected, the writer called it a "personal dispute," as though this was a disagreement between colleagues.
Objections to religion in the classroom are neither "fruitless" nor "tiresome." Creationists continue to adapt to courtroom defeats by hiding their true aims under ever-changing guises, as evidenced by the Dover v. Kitzmiller trial.
Religion is belief in and reverence for a supernatural power accepted as the creator and governor of the universe. These extraordinary claims remain unsubstantiated. The Education Department's job is to administer fact-based education, so the biblical quote simply does not belong in the classroom. His letter leaves me wondering whether he'd have trivialized this separation violation had the poster quoted L. Ron Hubbard or the Quran.

Primacy of conscience cannot be overlooked
A recent letter writer criticized the Rev. Roy Bourgeois for supporting women's ordination, claiming it an "act of conscience." When "faithful Catholics" discover their conscience in opposition to church teaching, their "conscience is misguided." Her claim, I submit, has ignored the church's fundamental principle, the "primacy of conscience."
As a counsel at Vatican II, the Rev. Joseph Ratzinger (later Benedict XVI), explained: "One's conscience … must be obeyed before all else [even] over the pope and ecclesiastical authority." Indeed, St. Thomas Aquinas insisted that when "ecclesiastical authority" offends a person's conscience [he] should perish in excommunication rather than violate his conscience."
That fundamental doctrine was tested after Paul VI upheld the ban against contraception in 1968, igniting an ecclesiastical rebellion among the faithful. Facing the crisis, several bishops' conferences confirmed the papal teaching while asserting the primacy of conscience. As the Canadian bishops put it: "Whoever honestly chooses that course, which seems right to him, does so in good conscience."
Indeed, the church's moral code has been an evolutionary process, based on divine revelation and human reason. During its long history, many church thinkers were condemned for heresy only to see their ideas embraced by the church later: e.g., Galileo condemned for claiming the earth circles the sun; John Courtney Murray, S.J., silenced for endorsing separation of church and state during the 1950s, only to see his teaching be accepted by Vatican II.
Is it possible that Bourgeois, today, is on the cutting edge in a new stage in the church's evolutionary history?

CLEMSON — Is he for real?
That's what Clemson defensive coordinator Brent Venables was asked regarding defensive end Vic Beasley following Clemson's second spring scrimmage Monday. In the scrimmage Beasley recorded four sacks, continuing his torrid play this spring.
While the sacks were of the touch variety, the numbers still speak to Beasley's ability to get around offensive tackles thanks to a rare blend of strength and explosiveness.
Is Beasley for real? Will the sophomore build off his impressive part-time showing last fall (eight sacks) and become a true difference maker as a pass rusher?
"We'll see," Venables said. "It's still a process. He's getting better, but he still needs to get bigger and stronger."
Beasley has added 10 pounds since the bowl game, his 6-3 frame now carrying 232 pounds. His goal is to reach 250. The coaches say Beasley is one of the strongest players pound-for-pound but to truly overwhelm 300-pound tackles, Beasley must gain bulk.
What he doesn't want to lose is his ability to fly around tackles.
"The majority of the time I'm going around the edge," Beasley said of his sacks.
Beasley thinks he can keep his speed while adding strength and knowledge of the defense to become a true difference-maker.
"I'm preparing well," Beasley said. "I'm being dedicated."
DL dominates
Beasley wasn't the only Clemson defensive lineman to dominate as Grady Jarrett (3 sacks) and D.J. Reader (2 sacks) also had multiple sacks Monday.
"It was just a butt-kicking," Clemson coach Dabo Swinney said. "I wish I could paint a more balanced picture."
Clemson left tackle Brandon Thomas did not play due to a class conflict.
Stoudt-Kelly battle continues
Through two spring scrimmages, Cole Stoudt appears to have widened his lead in the race to become the No. 2 quarterback. Stoudt has completed 16 of 27 passes for 194 yards, three touchdowns, and an interception in two scrimmages this spring. Chad Kelly has completed 15 of 29 passes for 149 yards and two touchdowns.
Neither particularly impressed Swinney on Monday. Stoudt completed 10 of 18 passes for 81 yards, including a touchdown and an interception. Kelly completed fewer than half of his passes — 7 of 15 — for 78 yards, which included a 49-yard scoring pass to Charone Peake on a screen pass.
"They were just OK," Swinney said. "I didn't see leadership I wanted to see."
Swinney gave starting quarterback Tajh Boyd most of the scrimmage off as he wanted to work in his younger quarterbacks.

Charleston Southern tackled its second consecutive top 20 team on the road Wednesday night, falling to 20th-ranked Baylor, 69-64, in Waco, Texas.
The Buccaneers (2-3) rallied from three 11-point deficits in the final half and had a shot to tie the game with less than 10 seconds left in regulation.
"We really competed a lot harder, and really we were very efficient the last 10 minutes," Charleston coach Barclay Radebaugh told The Associated Press. "But we've got a good team. We've got a great group of guys and the next step for us is to win these games. We've been in a lot of these games."
Charleston Southern displayed dramatic improvement defensively in the loss. The Bucs had allowed an average of 94 points per game over their last three games, including 109 points in Sunday's loss at New Mexico.
CSU limited the Bears to 41 percent shooting in the game, though a size disadvantage proved too much to overcome as Baylor out-rebounded CSU, 43-28, while blocking 11 shots.
Baylor was led by the inside tandem of 7-1 Isaiah Austin and 6-9 Cory Jefferson. Each scored 16 points and combined for the 11 blocks, while also combing for 19 rebounds.
CSU junior guard Will Saunders scored a career-high 16 points, connecting on four three-pointers, while senior guard Sheldon Strickland hit four 3's and scored 14 points. CSU's leading scorer for the season, junior point guard Saah Nimley, scored 11 points, six below his season average.
The Bucs shot only 35 percent from the floor but made 12-of-26 three-point attempts. CSU has connected for 65 three-pointers in the first five games of this season.
"I thought we played much better, with more awareness, and we followed our game plan," Radebaugh said. "We are certainly pleased that we played better, but there are things from an execution standpoint that we can do to get over the hump in these types of games. We simply did not execute well enough to beat a top 20 team. But, we did play hard and we played better."
After falling behind 8-0 to open the game, Strickland hit a pair of 3's as part of a 13-1 run to give CSU a 13-9 lead with 14:05 to play in the opening half.
Baylor answered with a 9-0 run to grab control, on its way to a 32-28 halftime lead. CSU shot only 27 percent from the floor, hitting five three-pointers, and Baylor blocked eight shots inside, including a pair of dunk attempts.
Baylor opened up a 43-32 lead four minutes into the second half, but Strickland and Nimley hit three-pointers and CSU trailed, 49-43, with 11:56 remaining in the game.
Trailing 54-43, CSU went on a 12-5 run, sparked by a pair of three-pointers from Saunders, cutting Baylor's lead to 59-55 with 6:30 to play in the contest.
The Bears, however, were able to hold off the charge and opened the lead back to 11 at 66-55 with four minutes to play. CSU managed to trim the margin to 67-61 with 1:11 left in the game.
Baylor would commit a turnover against pressure defense, and Saunders drilled a long three-pointer with 54 seconds left, making it a one-possession game at 67-64.
Baylor missed a shot in the paint and Nimley had an open look at a game-tying three but missed. Cedrick Bowen rebounded the miss and found Nimley in the corner, but the junior point guard stepped out of bounds with eight seconds left. Baylor's Kenny Cherry hit a pair of free throws to seal the victory.
"The beauty of playing a difficult schedule is that it exposes weaknesses and allows us an opportunity to improve," said Radebaugh. "We want to challenge our players and we want to put them in tough situations. It's going to help us become a better basketball team in the long run."
CSU returns home to host Trinity College at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday.

5 Creative Ways People Got Revenge on Cheating Spouses

Infidelity. Adultery. Pulling in at a foreign port. Spelunking the forbidden squish cavern. These and even more hilarious euphemisms are used to describe what happens when a person in a supposedly monogamous relationship decides that maybe frolicking with someone else's genitals is in order. It rarely ends well.
Few people or cultures have ever supported illicit relationships that stray from whatever established one you're supposed to be in. Every so often you'll find a hippie commune of free love or some swingers who are cool with sexual dalliances, but the rest of us tend to feel betrayal and anger when we find out our snuggle bunny has gone off and snuggled all kinds of other bunnies and their dicks (or bunginas, as the case may be).
In a rational world full of level-headed people, when you find out you've been cheated on, you'll confront your partner and explain how you feel disrespected and that perhaps it's best if you go your separate ways. But what kind of shitty article would that make for? In the real world, people do this stuff.
#5. A Yard Sale

Floozies are pretty fantastic in the right circumstances. For instance, you're at the beach house, you have a fridge full of beers and ribs, there's a party scheduled for every night, and you need to choose between Grandma, a nun, and a floozie. The wise choice is the nun only if she's also a floozie. If not, floozie it is. She'll be the most fun. However, if you're already married to a non-floozie, or at least a different floozie, then for God's sake, don't spend the weekend with a floozie. Has the word lost meaning for you yet? I'm borderline.
Somewhere in White Rock, British Columbia, a foolhardy fellow opted to leave his family for "a piece of trash" (the aforementioned floozie), and his wife was understandably left in a position of much chagrinment. Realizing that their relationship was clearly on the outs, she placed a Craigslist ad for his stuff. What stuff? All of his stuff. All of it was for sale, and all of it was to be sold before he got home from his weekend of enfloozery.

"I gave her the big D, y'all!"
I never run across sales like this, and that's sad, because I could use a new juicer and some Xbox games (the last one I bought was Injustice, and I beat that pretty quickly). If anyone who lives nearby would like to cheat on their wife, and then if any of the wives would like to sell all their crap at a steal, please let me know.
The local paper showed up, because everyone loves the circus, and people who attended claimed to get some pretty good deals on furniture, tools, and fishing gear. Unfortunately, there were no clothes available, as, according to the ad, they had already been burned the day before. Ha ha, vandalism!
#4. eBay Wife
Stockbyte/Stockbyte/Getty Images
Paul Osborn had been hearing unseemly rumors about his wife. Was she a One Direction fan? Worse -- she was a flagrant humptathlete, peppering the neighborhood with free access to her goodie bin. Or at least that's what Osborn claimed he discovered after reading some of her emails in which she discussed her sex life with another man. Osborn did the only thing a man in his position could do -- he went bugfuck ridiculous.
Taken under inspiration's wicked wing, Osborn decided to write up an ad for his wife on eBay. Not to sell her possessions, just to sell her. Starting at one cent, Osborn got bidding up to half a million British pounds, despite the ad specifying that she was worth "sod all." Sod! That's like trash!
Digital Vision./Photodisc/Getty Images
"Is someone toasting provolone, or is that my vagina?"
The ad itself featured a picture of his wife picking her nose and described her as a "lying, cheating, adulterous bitch whore," although some news sources insisted it was "lying, cheating adulterous slag," which I must say I prefer, because "slag" is a really fun insult. It also included her cellphone number, the number of the guy she was sleeping with, and the number of the business where they both worked. All things considered, it was pretty charming.
The police were less than amused by Osborn selling his wife online and paid him a visit to warn against posting "offensive, indecent, obscene, and menacing" messages online, which means probably I can never use the Internet in England ever.
#3. Car for 75 Cents
Hemera Technologies/AbleStock.com
Tim Shaw is a British DJ, so he's an asshole you find charming because of his accent. I hope that British radio shows feature dignified sound effects and discussions about the economy and football, all whilst enjoying fish and chips or bangers and mash with liberal use of the "C" word, which, for those in the U.K. who never refer to it euphemistically, is "cunt."
On one particular show, Shaw was talking with Jodie Marsh, a British boobie model know for her boobies and her willingness to show her boobies. He claimed that he would be willing to leave his wife and kids for her, a joke that she may have found funny but that his wife, who was listening, found hysterical. I bet she literally slapped her knee.
After the knee-slapping subsided, Mrs. Shaw went online and listed Mr. Shaw's $38,000 Lotus Esprit on eBay (that's European for "ugly sports car") for about 75 cents. It sold in a few minutes, and a happy customer drove it away before Shaw even came home from work.
Seeing as Shaw didn't actually commit adultery, but merely made public his willingness to do so at the drop of a hat with a total stranger, he was able to make amends with a public apology on a television show, and he even got his car back for only about $7,500. Hopefully he really goes all the way sometime, not for the pain it will cause his family, but for the mirth it will bring the rest of us when his wife does something drastic, like gluing Japanese hornets to his scrotum while he sleeps.

The second half of the Atlantic Sun Conference volleyball season begins tonight as the Stetson Hatters visit the Jacksonville Dolphins for a 7 p.m. match at Swisher Gym.
The Hatters (15-9) completed the first-half of league play with a 6-3 record and currently sit tied for fourth place in the A-Sun standings, two games back of Jacksonville (8-1) and ETSU (8-1).
"I think a lot of coaches would be happy with that record, but it is not what our goal was," Stetson head coach Tim Loesch said about the first half of league play. "We are going to have to pick it up the second half and win a couple of these close sets and close matches that we lost. Now that we have seen everybody play, we kind of know what to expect, and hopefully we can be better prepared next time we meet."
Stetson posted a dramatic dramatic 3-2 victory over Jacksonville when the teams met on Sept. 21 in DeLand. Kaley Melville led the Hatters with 17 kills and Tiffany Creamer added 14 kills. The Dolphins have not lost a game since, winning eight straight overall and seven straight in conference play.
Live video will not be available for tonight's match, but live stats will be available here. After tonight's match, the Hatters will visit Kennesaw State on Friday in a match broadcast by ESPN3, and Mercer on Saturday.

Slade Smiley hasn't put a ring on it – yet.
The reality TV personality's longtime girlfriend, Real Housewives of Orange County star Gretchen Rossi, was spotted at Heather McDonald's book launch at Hollywood's Emerson Theater on Wednesday night, sporting some bling on her engagement finger.
But apparently Smiley hasn't popped the question.
"The ring was not from Slade," a source tells PEOPLE, while a second source says when asked about the ring at the event, "Slade danced around the question."
About two years ago, Rossi, 34, told PEOPLE she was in no rush to head to the altar with Smiley.
"When I first got married, I thought I was going to be married for life," she said. "I thought that was it and it was really hard to fail at that marriage."
But now, although the ring wasn't from him, the first source tells PEOPLE, "They're planning on getting engaged pretty soon."

Trader Joe's is coming to Amherst.
Despite pleas by organized Kenmore residents to get the immensely popular specialty grocery store in the village, Trader Joe's has selected Boulevard Consumer Square in Amherst as the location for its first Buffalo-area store.
"We're absolutely excited to be coming to this new location," said spokeswoman Alison Mochizuki. "We look forward to being part of the community."
Trader Joe's will be located in a 12,000-square-foot building immediately south of the existing Barnes & Noble bookstore at 1565 Niagara Falls Blvd., said Assistant Planning Director Gary Black.
Famous Footwear now occupies the space, but will be relocating. The space shares a building parcel attached to the bookstore, which fronts Niagara Falls Boulevard.
The parcel will be reconstructed by Benderson Development to make room for the new grocery outlet.
The store is expected to open sometime this year, though a more specific time frame is not yet available, Mochizuki said.
"Trader Joe's is one of the nation's most sought-after retailers," said Benderson Vice President Eric Recoon, "and it's a real coup for our entire community that they've elected to open in Amherst."
Mochizuki said the chain, which is based in California, plans a store with traditional Trader Joe's decor such as cedar-covered walls and Hawaiian motifs, combined with a local flair that will celebrate the neighborhood.
Plans for the new store arrived quietly over the holidays in the Amherst Planning Department.
"This came in Dec. 21," Black said. "Nothing on the site plan says it's Trader Joe's."
However, the elevation drawings included in the site plan application have the words Trader Joe's emblazoned in big letters across the top of the building. The one-story building will use a combination of exterior materials and stand 36 feet high at the main entrance, according to the site plan.
The Kenmore Village Improvement Society had waged a campaign to lure Trader Joe's to the village. There was the 6-foot-tall mascot named "Kenmore Joe" photographed in various silly situations with Kenmore residents and a Facebook page featuring photos of Trader Joe's store-brand goodies.
In September, Trader Joe's told local campaigners that while the chain wasn't coming to Kenmore, it would be coming to Western New York.
The expansion into this region marks part of a greater expansion plan by the company to extend its reach beyond downstate New York. It opened a Trader Joe's store in Albany in August, and a Rochester-area location just this past October.
Amherst may have been a logical choice for the growing chain because the store caters to college communities, and the town encompasses the University at Buffalo's North Campus.
Trader Joe's is known for its array of domestic and imported foods and beverages, many sold under the Trader Joe's brand name and touting their high-quality or organic ingredients. Everything from salsas to fried rice are sold under the Trader Joe's private label.
The store offers "everyday prices" and doesn't have sales or special promotions, discounts or coupons.
"Trader Joe's introduces approximately a dozen new items every week, heightening the store's adventurous appeal," the company said in a news release confirming the Amherst location. "Our buyers travel around the world searching out unique products at great values."
Black said the Trader Joe's site plan probably will be approved by Amherst's Planning Department in about two weeks.
Then building permits need to be issued, which typically takes another four to six weeks.
"They can probably start construction in a couple months," he said.

After years of delay, Boeings 787 Dreamliner program, including its critical North Charleston campus, is now flying on schedule.
That was the message a pair of top company executives delivered Monday during a conference call with investors.
Dreamliner production and deliveries have increased as planned this year, they said, and another doubling of the 787 production rate and beginning final assembly of the stretch 787-9 next year are also on track. Boeing is also nearly ready to officially launch a so-called double-stretch Dreamliner, the 787-10, but is not quite there, the officials said.
Starting this month, Boeing is producing five base model 787-8s per month between its final assembly line in North Charleston and two lines in Everett, Wash.
Its been a great year so far, and we look forward to the coming months ahead of us as we continue to operate at five airplanes a month and continue to position ourselves to bring on the (787)-9 and ramp up to 10 airplanes a month, said Larry Loftis, vice president and general manager of the 787 program.
Loftis and his boss at Boeing Commercial Airplanes, Pat Shanahan, senior vice president and general manager of airplane programs, provided the updates in response to a series of questions from Rob Stallard, aerospace analyst for RBC Capital Markets.
As of last week, Boeing had delivered 38 Dreamliners to eight customers, Loftis said, including 35 this year, the low end of the companys projection for the year.
The company has more than 800 orders pending for the Dreamliner, which had been slated for entry into service in 2008 before serial technical and supply chain snags cropped up.
Loftis said the North Charleston plant would be producing about 30 percent of the planes while the final assembly plants in Everett would be producing the rest.
The aft- and mid-body factories at Charleston International Airport will make parts for the 787-9 next year. The final assembly facility is capable of putting them together but when and how many has not been announced.
Boeing South Carolina is already producing fuselage components for the 787-8 and has rolled out five assembled planes, only one of which has been delivered so far, to Air India last month. The rest sit on the North Charleston flight line.
Shanahan said the learning in Charlestons been very good for a new site.
The learning has been quick, and one of the things weve tried to maintain is sharing all of our best practices from here in Everett back to Charleston, Shanahan said, and you know what weve found is theyll develop their own best practices because weve had that open communication of information flowing back and forth pretty freely.
Air India, which after a summer of delays has taken a total of three Dreamliners, was supposed to take another from North Charleston last month. But the cash-strapped national carrier has still not taken the fourth plane of its 27-jet order. The third SC-built jet took another test flight Saturday.
Every day were getting more predictable on being able to deliver airplanes, Loftis said. He said Boeings delivery delays this year have only been days, not months, and theyre not systemic.
Really the gist of the delays is were still learning, frankly, he said.
The executives Monday confirmed the possibility that the North Charleston campus, whose aft-body factory is undergoing expansion over the next year, could play a role in eventually producing more than the planned 10 per month by late 2013.
If you look at our final assembly facilities, we have more capacity, just in terms of brick and mortar, Shanahan said. So Charleston is sized to be larger. The question really is more the supply chain which weve facilitized to 10 per month. We know from experience that there is untapped capacity, but its more incremental. Is it 10 percent? Is it 20 percent? Its probably not 100 percent. So it all depends on how quickly or how rapidly wed need to add capacity.

Pat Shanahan, senior vice president and general manager of airplane programs for Boeing, said the 787 Dreamliner program, including its critical North Charleston campus, is now flying on schedule.×

"I think reality TV sucks for the most part," the veteran actor, 47, said when he sat down with PEOPLE last week.
"It's put so many writers out of business and put so many actors out of work that it's changed the face of entertainment. As a guy who has grown up making his living making primetime television – get that reality s––– out of here and give more writers and actors a chance to make shows that people will watch."
Calling out several programs in particular, Perry said, "The s––– about who's sleeping with who and – The Real Housewives of anywhere, I don't give a s––– . I just don't. That's just me. The competition shows, done – all of ya! I vote 'em done, they're off, none! No more American Idols, no more The Voices, I'm just saying."
Explained TV Land's upcoming Hot in Cleveland guest star: "I want people in this country to aspire to do something besides sing and dance and act. Where's the science, where's the math? Let's have a show, who's the greatest scientific student in America? History, a writer. We are the most entertained and least educated of all the first world countries, and we need to change that."
Perry also blames "the exploits" of Alana "Honey Boo Boo" Thompson for taking "away from … legit, real [TV]."
But the iconic heartthrob doesn't knock all non-scripted television.
"I think some of it is really informative and I like to watch it," he said. "I was the original Deadliest Catch fan. I love that show. Those are great. Some of that stuff, like River Monster, I see a guy catching a huge fish as big as your leg with a piece of string, I will stop and watch that."

Program Requirements | Program Goals | Degree Requirements | Admission | Program Policies | Retention | Academic Probation | Graduation
The Master of Strategic Communication (MSC) program is a low-residency, project-based program in which students complete a series of applied communication projects in order to build and demonstrate mastery of the essential knowledge and abilities required to lead in the area of strategic communication. Students attend two-day residencies in Salt Lake City, Utah, at the beginning of each semester and then work directly and individually with faculty members and with each other to build and demonstrate expertise. This highly personalized approach to education is a hallmark of Westminster College and is an important part of building leaders in the communication field.
The program design is specifically built to accommodate the learning styles and life commitments of employed professionals: program learning resources are available to students anytime, anywhere, to ensure that the program fits into the busy lives of today's communication professionals.
The program has the following characteristics:
Project-Based: students complete a total of five project sequences designed and sequenced specifically to measure student learning. Projects are based on current communication problems and opportunities and may originate in an individual student's place of employment or entrepreneurial venture.
Individual and Team-Based: students complete most projects individually to demonstrate mastery of associated professional communication competencies. Some projects are team-based to assist students in mastering leadership competencies that include managing projects and leading and working in teams.
Low-Residency: in addition to the two-day on-campus residencies that occur at the beginning of each of the five project sequences, students use a learning management system and resources in an online environment to work independently and as a team to master program competencies.
Faculty Mentored: students work directly with a Westminster College faculty member on an individual basis to acquire project guidance and feedback. Faculty members also evaluate completed student projects to determine whether or not project learning is sufficiently demonstrated.
Students completing all program and college requirements earn a Master of Strategic Communication degree from Westminster College.
The MSC degree is specifically designed to prepare students for leadership positions within the area of strategic communication. Through the use of real-world scenarios and projects, graduates demonstrate a mastery of communication strategies and technologies, project management, and leadership in action.
In order to be accepted into the MSC program, applicants must meet the following admissions criteria:
Because of the project-based design of the program, students are required to be highly motivated self-starters; applicants are strongly encouraged to directly address these personal characteristics in their resume and personal statement.
After students complete the MSC program, they have developed and demonstrated their ability to
The program consists of five project sequences, constituting a series of applied communication projects, all of which must be completed through Westminster College. Each of the sequences consists of several projects, as well as a final integrative project. The projects build upon each other and are completed in the order specified. A student completes all projects to demonstrate mastery of the program learning goals and competencies. Each project has a set of rubrics, which explain precisely how the project will be evaluated upon its completion. Students can use these rubrics to self-assess the projects before submission. After a project sequence is successfully completed, the student begins the next project sequence at the beginning of the following semester.
Dedicated faculty members are specifically assigned to assist students and evaluate their work as they progress through each project sequence. Students and faculty interact regularly to improve learning outcomes. Students also have access to program assistants who help with registration, billing, financial aid, project submission, technology systems, and any other questions about the program. Students are encouraged to utilize these resources whenever needed throughout the duration of the program.
After students complete a project, work is submitted to the faculty member for evaluation using the established project rubrics. Students are given one of three rankings for each of the competencies related to individual projects in a particular sequence: exceeds project standards, meets project standards, or does not meet project standards. In all cases, students are given substantial feedback on project performance. If students receive an assessment of "does not meet project standards," they are given clear guidance from the faculty member prior to the work being revised and resubmitted for additional evaluation. Students can submit their work a maximum of three times for evaluation.
Each project sequence includes a required two-day on-campus residency, which consists of workshops and seminars specifically designed to prepare students for the projects in a particular project sequence. Residencies are scheduled at the beginning of each semester. Please consult the program website for specific information on residency schedules.
A variety of ancillary materials are provided to help students master the specific competencies and learning goals related to each project. All of these materials can be accessed from the program website. These materials augment students' existing knowledge and experiences and can be referenced on an as-needed basis. Given the varying nature of students' background and experience, all students are strongly encouraged to consult with the faculty as they work on projects to determine which materials may be most useful. All of the materials can be accessed by all students—even if students are completing subsequent projects—to help in recalling specific techniques and knowledge.
See the Admission to the College section for admission requirements.
Project sequences are designed to be completed within one semester, enabling students to complete the requirements of the program within five semesters. A student who, for whatever reason, does not enroll for two consecutive terms must request reinstatement in the program and will be subject to the tuition charges currently in effect. A student must complete a project sequence within a semester. If, at the end of the semester, the project sequence is not completed, the student may not be able to move to the next project sequence and may be required to wait a full semester to continue in the program. In addition, students using federal financial aid may have difficulty with their financial aid eligibility if they require more than a semester to complete a project (see financial aid rules for more information). Staying in constant contact with the program assistant and MSC faculty helps avoid problems.
Using the faculty member's feedback as a basis to better demonstrate mastery of the learning in each project, students can resubmit work that is given a "does not meet" ranking. Students who, for whatever reason, are unable to demonstrate mastery of the competencies of a particular project after two full attempts will be asked to meet with the faculty mentor. The faculty member will work with each student to develop a realistic plan to overcome barriers to the student's successful performance. Having committed to the plan, the student will be given one additional attempt at completion. If the student is still unable to successfully complete the project, the student may be suspended from the program.
A student who is suspended from the program may reapply for admission after two terms. A personal interview will be required before readmission is allowed; and, if readmitted, the student will reenter the program at the current year's tuition rate. The student will work with his or her faculty mentor to develop a specific plan to complete the sequence. As long as the student fulfills the terms stipulated in the performance plan, the student will be allowed to complete remaining program requirements.
The following academic standards support the mission and goals of the MSC program. The goals are presented here to help students understand their responsibilities throughout the program:
Students should always be familiar with project requirements and guidelines to avoid problems. Students should take every opportunity to consult with their faculty mentor to receive clarification when needed.
Collaboration is encouraged to enhance depth of learning; except for team projects, all submitted work must be the original work of individual students.
Students should always be respectful of faculty, staff, and other students in the program.
The program is designed to be intellectually challenging, real-world oriented, and mastery building. Students should push themselves, using every opportunity to participate and learn in order to take full advantage of the Westminster experience.
Plagiarism, a serious offense in academic and professional settings, is a violation of the college's academic policy. For further information on academic honesty, please click here. Students who violate the academic honesty policy may be suspended from the program.
See the Grading and Academic Standards section for graduate academic probation and suspension policies.
See the Grading and Academic Standards section for information on appeals for readmission.
Candidates for graduation must consult their program assistant at the beginning of Sequence 3. The program assistant will aid students in completing the application for graduation in the following May or August. To be eligible for graduation, a student must satisfy the following requirement: complete each project sequence successfully with a minimum ranking of "meets project standards." Students should consult either the faculty member or the program assistant at any point when questions arise about graduation requirements.

De Blasio Family Moving to Gracie Mansion
New York City Mayor-elect Bill de Blasio and his family have decided to leave their rowhouse in Brooklyn and move into Gracie Mansion next year, turning the Federal-style Manhattan estate on the edge of the East River into a home again for the first time in 12 years.
With the exception of Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who chose to live in his Upper East Side townhouse near Central Park, every mayor has lived in Gracie Mansion since Fiorello La Guardia moved in more than 70 years ago. For Mr. de Blasio, the decision proved especially fraught, not only because his family loves their Park Slope neighborhood and their son is happily enrolled at Brooklyn Technical High School, but because he campaigned as a leader who would bring a non-Manhattan sensibility to City Hall.
"For a variety of reasons, like logistical and security concerns, we've decided to move to Gracie Mansion," the family said in a statement. "It's a practical choice but one that we make with respect and gratitude for the people of New York City."
While the family is moving to Manhattan, the de Blasios said they will keep their home in Brooklyn and frequent their favorite spots.
"We'll miss Brooklyn, but we are incredibly gratified to the people of New York for the opportunity to live in the mayor's residence. It is an honor we accept with thanks," they said.
Mr. de Blasio, who was born in Manhattan and raised in Massachusetts, is the first New York City mayor elected from outside Manhattan since Brooklyn-based Abraham Beame, who became mayor in 1974 and was sworn in at his vacation home in Queens.
During his campaign for mayor, Mr. de Blasio stressed his credentials as a candidate from outside Manhattan. "If people have not experienced life in the outer boroughs, they will be less sensitive to the outer boroughs, they will be less understanding of what the outer boroughs need," Mr. de Blasio said in a 2012 interview with The Wall Street Journal.
"I just have a very different sense of where the center of gravity is," Mr. de Blasio said. "To me, the center of gravity is where the population of this city is—and that's the outer boroughs."
Gracie Mansion, described as a "country house" overlooking a bend in the East River, was built in 1799 by Archibald Gracie, a prosperous New York merchant, according to the city's website. Mr. Gracie's financial problems forced him to sell the house in 1823; the city appropriated the estate in 1896.
For decades, the mansion was used as a concession stand and restrooms for a nearby park. It was eventually restored and became the first home of the Museum of the City of New York.
In 1942, La Guardia moved in after then-Parks Commissioner Robert Moses convinced authorities to designate the mansion the official mayoral residence. Despite the home's ornate décor, mayors have made the space their own. A visitor touring the house when former Mayor Rudy Giuliani lived there spotted a familiar domestic tableau: a den cluttered with children's toys and sports equipment, a copy of Mr. Giuliani's favorite film—"The Godfather"—lying among them.
While Mr. Bloomberg is the first mayor not to live at the mansion since La Guardia, Gracie has bustled with events throughout his tenure. Mr. Bloomberg often presides over receptions with a glass of wine in his hand.
In 2012, after the Journal published a story about the prospect of the city's incoming mayor occupying Gracie Mansion, Mr. Bloomberg said all future mayors shouldn't live in the mansion because, he said, it is an unnecessary expense for the taxpayers and precludes members of the public from enjoying the historic property. The mayor's comments elevated his decision not to live in Gracie Mansion from a personal choice to a policy issue.
"The mayor should not live there," Mr. Bloomberg said in March 2012. "Everybody's got to understand if a mayor lives there, then what they're doing is costing this city a lot more money and depriving the rest of the city of one of the great facilities any city has to host events."
"To take one of the great houses in this city away from the public, I just think is wrong," the mayor said.
If the mayor and family live at Gracie Mansion, Mr. Bloomberg said, more than half the house won't be available to the public. "It's a great house for everybody and not for one family and it should be used, as we use it now," he said.
The number of people visiting the grounds and building has nearly doubled since 2003, to more than 50,000 in recent years. It's also served as a hotel for dignitaries, including the Archbishop Desmond Tutu.
A spokesman for Mr. Bloomberg declined to comment on the mayor-elect's decision.
During the mayor's first term, Mr. Bloomberg asked his personal interior decorator, Jamie Drake, to oversee a badly needed renovation that cost roughly $7 million. Most of that money came from the mayor.
