Guitar Hero Franchise Finished?
True Crime and its developer also reportedly done for.
UPDATE: It's been confirmed that the 2011 edition of Guitar Hero and True Crime: Hong Kong have both been canceled. There's currently no word on what lies ahead for the Guitar Hero franchise, but Activision plans to disband the company's Guitar Hero business unit.
ORIGINAL STORY:While this remains unconfirmed until we can get official word from Activision, Eurogamer is reporting that the Guitar Hero franchise has been "axed."
No other details were offered, but it wasn't the only surprising aspect of the report. According to the story, "severe layoffs" have been inflicted upon 2008 acquisition FreeStyleGames, the developer of DJ Hero. Additionally, the upcoming True Crime: Hong Kong has been canceled and its developer, United Front Games, has been shut down.
GamesIndustry.biz has also filed a similar report. Activision will now focus on its Call of Duty and Blizzard businesses (StarCraft and World of Warcraft are specifically mentioned).
Activision will be reporting on its latest financial results later today, so it shouldn't be long before an official announcement on all of this is made.

Kick it to the curbPosted: Feb 10, 2011 12:00AM PST by Shadow13th
Guitar Hero is like a dairy cow, it's getting a little old and not producing milk at the same rate as it once did. Activision just shoots it and while the corpse is still warm and they unceremoniously roll it into a shallow grave and move onto the next franchise that's still producing milk, whip in hand, ready to exploit.
RIP?Posted: Feb 10, 2011 12:00AM PST by totalgamer316
VERY very hard to tell, but that the biz, but don't call activision "evil".
Good.Posted: Feb 10, 2011 12:00AM PST by JabezDawz
While it is not god that all of these people lsot their jobs, it is good that they are stopping the production of the Guitar Hero franchise for now. GH2 is one of my favorite games of all time, I don't want them to drive it into the ground anymore!
As for true crime, I'm indifferent. Play'd the first one, enjoyed it. Once and done.
Severe Diarrhea Will Result In A Lonely Life And A Huge Plumbing BillPosted: Feb 10, 2011 12:00AM PST by TheBelaidKL
My comment title fits my point perfectly.....Activision has been excreting Guitar Hero like severe diarrhea and now everyone hates them for killing the franchise literally and indirectly and is now gonna suffer the consequence with huge cut backs and a finicial struggle for the short term (COD will save them)
Man that really sucks.Posted: Feb 10, 2011 12:00AM PST by steelerzfan101
But I guess they deserve it because they really have not been churning out any good Guitar Hero games for a while...oh well...
Oh Noes!Posted: Feb 10, 2011 12:00AM PST by Bast
"We saturated the Market with one Guitar Hero game after another while bring nothing new to the table with each iteration. How could it be the Music Game Market has declined so drastically?!?!" - Activision
"Who knows? Even the Beatles couldn't save it for us .. and they're more popular than Jesus." - MTV Games

Call of Duty is next, just watch.Posted: Feb 09, 2011 12:00AM PST by Fico23
Think losing Guitar Hero, which at one point was near in dear to my heart, was bad enough; just wait. Activision is a company about making money. Who cares about the games? That's what they're thinking. But COD, going to a yearly release, is not a good idea and will certainly make the series stale and tiring like Activision made GH. If Harmonix was still in charge, we wouldn't even have Rock Band. But of course Activision wanted to cash in on the hot game, so it took it and now look at it now, dead. True Crime, dead. And COD, if Activision plays it's usual cards right, it'll be dead soon. Because a very poor single player and a repetitive multiplayer with a few new things here and there isn't gonna cut it forever.
RE: Call of Duty is next, just watchPosted: Mar 12, 2011 12:00AM PST by PointMan601
Even tho I agree some what.. with each cod title making more then the last and black ops making MEDIA sales history, that statment isnt going to be true for a long time
speaking of Saturation...Posted: Feb 09, 2011 12:00AM PST by Handy_Craft_64online
It's only a matter of time before this happens to cod. Hell, any FPS.
Well...Posted: Feb 09, 2011 12:00AM PST by ngamer-90
Thats what they get for milking the franchise over and over every year, it's no wonder they pulled the plug on it.

Come on read the article, its not EA it is Activision.
Comment titles are uselessPosted: Feb 09, 2011 12:00AM PST by BIGMercenary
Too many games, too often, too many high-prices, too many instruments, too much DLC, etc. The musical peripheral games were too much. Glad its dead. I still haven't bought one. I might when Rock Band gets to be $50 for everything.
Why do I need to title comments on this freaking site?Posted: Feb 09, 2011 12:00AM PST by Frizzle Fry
They've killed it. They ran it into the ground, and beat it like a dead horse. How is it every game magazine out there and every fan of the GH brand in all the message boards knew this would happen...yet they didn't?
What a shame.

Congressman Justin Amash's vote against the Patriot Act, the highly anticipated major spending cuts in Michigan government becomes public next week and how the State of the City address provoked debate about what God's name is on this week's Talking Michigan Politics podcast.
Following are brief descriptions of the topics discussed. Please click on the play button below to listen.
What cuts, taxes are ahead for Michigan?
-- Gov. Rick Snyder has played it close to the vest but he will meet his promise and deliver a budget Thursday that calls for spending cuts in many areas, though it's still not clear whether it truly will ask for sacrifice for all. Should the work poor give up the Earned Income Tax Credit , as Republicans in both chambers are advocating? What about other possibilities including deep cuts in funding for cities and doing away with the tax exemption for pensions.
Michigan exempts more retirement income than any of the other 42 states with income taxes. And what of the possibility of cutting into the burgeoning Medicaid burden by finding ways to care for elderly people in their homes rather than nursing-home facilities?
Patriot Act vote
U.S. Rep. Justin Amash, R-Cascade Township, was among eight Congressional freshmen and 26 Republicans overall to oppose extending provisions of the post-2001 anti-terrorism Patriot Act. Amash has won praise from stalwart guardians of civil liberties on the right and the left. The question: Will he face a primary challenge because of his stand?
Conversation starter
• The Rev. Fred Wooden, senior minister at Fountain Street Church in Grand Rapids, delivered an eloquent, and concise, invocation for Grand Rapids Mayor George Heartwell's State of the City address Saturday. (text below). His use of the phrase "nameless one" for a diety provoked questions about who gets to choose the name for a supreme being.
The Rev. Wooden's invocation for Mayor George Heartwell's State of the City, Saturday, Feb. 5, 2011, at DeVos Place:
I was surprised to be asked, there being so many of greater stature than me. Who am I to offer words of invocation?
Then I thought of the prophets, as old as Elijah and as new as Martin Luther King, who were not drawn from expected places. These better angels of our nature, to cite another modern prophet, come from the byways not the highways, from the edges not the center. They recall us to what we know we should be when power and privilege seduce us.
So I call us, neighbors, to incline our ear to the voices of those who are not here right now - the men and women who huddle in the cold at the corner of Division and Cherry, the single mother with her children at Family Promise, the community college student in the library when it opens, the stock boy at the Family Fare on Fulton, the elder whose thermostat is set at 55 in winter, the fire fighter who will fight ice and fire tonight, the bus driver who must drive because the woman with crutches needs her to, the abuela who cares for her granddaughter because her mama and papa work two jobs, the hairstylist on Hall Street, the schoolteacher at Palmer Elementary, the mechanic on Alpine - all the people who live week to week and dream to dream, who quietly and with no fanfare, make this city live.
These are the prophets. From their lives come the holy word and the sacred calling to do justice, love mercy, and walk humbly. Their deeds call us to compassion and care.
Nameless One, who is compassion and mercy, the life in whom we all live and move and have our being, humble us here that we may exalt the hope that binds us all as one city, one nation and one world. Turn our words of promise into deeds of honor, that this city shall be one that truly overflows with liberty and justice for all.

Texas Schools Cope as Classes Expand and Staffs Shrink
SAN ANTONIO — Ask Phyllis Causey what time she goes to lunch, and the third-grade teacher will give a very specific answer: 11:55 a.m.
"I live on a timer," she said.
Every minute is accounted for in her meticulously planned workdays. To some extent, that is true every school year. But last fall, for the first time in her 12 years of teaching, 23 students were enrolled in her San Antonio elementary school class — making those minutes even more precious.

Pattern woven wool fragment(Textiles - Room 98, Case 3)
Central Asia
Patterned weave in wool
Length 17 cm x height 7 cm
Museum no. LOAN:STEIN.631 (N.XXIV.viii.003)
© Victoria and Albert Museum, London
On loan from Government of India and the Archaeological Survey of India
This textile piece of polychrome pattern woven wool has a white ground with a repeating lozenge design in dark red. With this piece, there are also the remains of a small section in red yellow and blue. It was probably once used as a rug or decorative hanging. Stein found this fragment of pattern woven wool in one of the many rooms of a large residence. Most of the finds from this particular room were double wooden tablets in Kharosthi script, indicating that it had been used as an office for the well-to-do person living there. A wooden mouse-trap was also discovered in the room, so affluent people had pest-problems too.

Fun Places
Originally from Tuscon, the Supersuckers moved to Seattle just before the grunge explosion of late 1991 and 1992. Though those under-appreciative of the Supersuckers' Satan, Wild West, booze, and heroin imagery may rely on the grunge moniker to pinpoint the group's sound, the Supersuckers are a true power-chord driven punk band, albeit with a penchant for heavy metal posturing. After the departure of guitarist Ron Heathman in 1995, the Supersuckers recruited guitarist Rick Sims, from the recently disbanded Didjits, to record their third Sub Pop album, The Sacrilicious Sounds of the Supersuckers. Must've Been High followed in 1997, and two years later Sub Pop issued The Greatest Rock & Roll Band in the World, a compilation of their years on the label. A new studio effort, The Evil Powers of Rock n' Roll, followed in 1999 as well. Matt Carlson

In the end it wasn't that bad, but I think it's impossible with Pokemon >lvl65... at least when you already lost 2 members before the league
Nicely done bro. No Item/Monotype Rock or Ground ain't easy, I know from experience... 'specially when items are a no-go and faintin' is permanent. Your spot in the Combined Nuzlocke Hall of Fame is well earned.
In the end it wasn't that bad, but I think it's impossible with Pokemon >lvl65... at least when you already lost 2 members before the league
It depends on how powerful the Pokes are, as well as their suitability to takin' on the E4. If each Poke has a specific absurd advantage over one E4 member each and can perform a clean sweep, then it's possible without overleveling. But since ya can't choose your team in a Nuzlocke, things pretty much will never go that smoothly... or even have a chance at goin' smoothly.
I think I had the most powerful team possible for only ground types (Quagsire would have been nice though :/) I'm pretty sure i would have lost at some point if I didn't train my team so much... that's why I think the level limit would make it so much harder
I'll do a single challenge with Mareep/Flaaffy in White 2
Welcome to Wii Chat
Not Ampharos?
I probably will eventually evolve Flaaffy, but only if I have too because Ampharos is really ugly...
And Flaaffy is my favourite Pokemon
All I meant by 'Ampharos is ugly' is that it is uglier compared to the magnificent beauty that is Flaaffy.
Any suggestions on what to do against ground types?

$145.00$145.00 / ea
The only spa-powered system that combines a 'thigh'-tech vacuum massager and a clinically proven skin-firming cream to help smooth and tone the skin to reduce the appearance of cellulite.
Fatgirlslim lean machine is a mean skin-firming cream that visibly diminishes dimples with QuSome(R) encapsulated caffeine. This advanced-technology adipose antagonist (which, in layman's terms, means it helps reduce the appearance of cellulite) features QuSome-encapsulated caffeine molecules for quick and targeted delivery of the skin-firming stuff of choice for supermodels, spokespeople, and other celebs.
Research Results:
87% saw a firming effect
This is not a weight or fat loss product.

Apply fatgirlslim, bliss's clinically proven skin firming cream, and massage with the lean machine. This techique will help boost the absorption of the fatgirlslim formula. Also, applying the cream before using the machine will also encourage a smoother gliding motion.
Adjust pulsation frequency and suction strength as needed.
We recommend using the system once a day, for about 3 minutes per leg, and/ or 3 minutes on the stomach, working your way up to longer increments of time. After noticing visible results, you can reduce the frequency to three times a week. Keep performing treatments regularly, as the appearance of cellulite can redevelop if you discontinue use.
Please read the entire instruction manual carefully before using the appliance and save the manual for future reference.

This machine is difficult to use. I have a hard time trying to glide on my skin. I feel clumsy trying to use it as it slips through my hand alot. The suction power is weak - I have to use the highest setting to feel the suction. Therefore, decided to return it.

I bought this in hopes of smoothing out my legs. The problem is even at the lowest setting the suction is so strong that it just sucks one section of your leg. I have had velashape treatments at a salon ( professional strength) and the suction was much better controled.

Nokia's Stephen Elop leads bets for next Microsoft CEO, who would you bet on?
0. phoneArena 29 Aug 2013, 05:58 posted on
The race for the next Microsoft chief executive has obviously already begun the moment Steve Ballmer announced it will retire after 13 years served as the head of Microsoft…
This is a discussion for a news. To read the whole news, click here
1. WHoyton1 (Posts: 1635; Member since: 21 Feb 2013)
I voted Julie-Larson Green because the hardware on the surface tablets are sweet but definately not Elop!
34. TheLolGuy (Posts: 483; Member since: 05 Mar 2013)
Wow, sorry but you're being a hypocrite now. I can't even begin to recall how many times it's been bashed by you -- not just the OS, but the idea of Surface and it's underpowered Tegra 3...
Also 'newly appointed'. These products go through years of market research and ergonomics testing, etc. Julie-Larson Green had nothing to do with it. Nothing with the first generation, anyways.
39. WHoyton1 (Posts: 1635; Member since: 21 Feb 2013)
hahaha did i ever say i disliked the hardware?? NO! i said a product is only as good as the OS and the hardware is impeccable but the OS is not up to scratch! Besides ANYONE but Elop!!!
40. sniper1087 (Posts: 508; Member since: 31 Dec 2011)
components are part of the hardware so choosing an underpowered tegra 3 which was used on the nexus 7 that costed 199 made a huge difference, dont get me wrong the outside shell was great, but if they get better internal components like the display(it was awful), Processor, more ram, more storage that the OS doesnt take much from it, better battery, that will get you through the day, and not even going to talk about software because IE touch just sucks.

The option for Bill Gates is missing
32. -box- (Posts: 3991; Member since: 04 Jan 2012)
He's busy running the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, he doesn't want to deal with dat-to-day stuff at Microsoft (though he's still a board member, as Ballmer will remain)
38. TheLolGuy (Posts: 483; Member since: 05 Mar 2013)
What -box- said. You can just tell he's not invested in Microsoft enough anymore spirit and mind. His priority is in the Gates Foundation now -- everyone always asks him these things in interviews and the answer is always the same. Following his actions over the years clearly shows this, unless there is some new and unprecedented pressure by investors begging him to come back. But I doubt that.
3. wicpromd (Posts: 266; Member since: 20 Aug 2013)
Elop already did his job for Nokia by bringing it down since 2010
MS sent him
and he is already getting into it...
45. Droid_X_Doug (Posts: 5993; Member since: 22 Dec 2010)
Elop has been out of MS for a while. MS tends to promote from within, and Elop has been out of MS for too long to be considered an insider.

Elop actually saved the sinking ship called Nokia, he reduced the company's size and its expenditures. He made the company more responsive to the changes in market dynamics, whereas the previous CEOs could do nothing to fight back the iPhone. He is doing a terrific job at Nokia, and that must be appreciated.

i think Bill Gates should step up.. and appoint somebody who knows how to run the business, makes the both of them Co CEO. Would make BG do humanitarian and turning MS around.

I think you are wrong on that point. Mr Elop set out to make Nokia the number "ONE"
Windows smart phone OEM.. He succeeded at that.. Nokia at the time he took over could only afford to invest in one smart phone ECO system. Everybody and their brother was making Android smart phones Nokia would never dominate Android.. Windows Metro tile smartphones was a new platform other Oem's made 1 or 2 models of Windows smart phones and they were not the other OEM's best. He went To windows smart phones and made sure Nokia's Windows smart phones were better than the rest. He won he beat the Other OEM"S. I agree now is the time for Nokia to make a few android smart phones but do not call this man a loser he beat all the other Windows smartphone OEM"S and that can not be denied. People seem to overlook Elop's gamble and VICTORY

WP would have been dead without Nokia. Elop getting rewarded for services rendered?
17. pellegrini (Posts: 84; Member since: 14 Jun 2012)
I voted Elop because I want him out of Nokia asap!! =)
35. -box- (Posts: 3991; Member since: 04 Jan 2012)
Why? He's only done positive things for Nokia, and he genuinely cares about the company, its products, its people, and its future. If he had cone from anywhere but Microsoft people would love him. Yes, he got rid of Symbian and MeeGo, but as a CEO one has to make tough decisions for the good of the company. Look what happened to blackberry and palm: former leaders of the industry didn't react to the market, kept making non-compelling products (granted at too-high of prices but not astronomically so), and took the hard fall. Palm wasn't able to get back on its feet so HP slit its throat, and Blackberry is barely on its knees looking for the next move or handout, and even access to android apps hasn't helped.

Elop, then MS will have their own phone hardware. RIP Nokia, hopefully I'm wrong.

21. _Bone_ (Posts: 2154; Member since: 29 Oct 2012)
Elop shouldn't give up on Nokia, for a telecommunication company it's faster and easier to get up from a knockdown, for a software giant like Microsoft, it takes much longer, if ever. But some bad rumors are saying Elop gunned for that seat in the first place, and I think he'll get it.

Bill Gate might do what Jeff Bezos did, at some point he took a break from Amazon, and later on he went back...in strategy, this is how you see things that you couldn't while being the CEO of a specific company

You know smart phone fans can get Crazy some times. A lot of People hate Mr Elop because he got Nokia to make Windows smart phones as opposed to Android smart phones. at the time Elop took over Nokia everybody and his brother was making Android smart phones.
Nokia could only afford to choose one ECO system He choose the Windows Metro tile ECO system because no one dominated it. it was new.. Elop over a few year made Nokia the "Number ONE" Windows smart phone OEM. he succeeded in what hw wanted to do. The Android smart phone fans are just plain foolish to call Elop bad for Nokia because He does not let Nokia make Android smart phones,.now that Nokia is the number "ONE" Windows smart phone OEM! Elop could OK Nokia to make a couple of Android smartphones to sell to Andriod fans. who knows maybe Nokia will someday? but you cannot say Elop is Loser he made Nopkia the number one in windows smart phones that's success folks not faliure.

31. Dion25 (Posts: 42; Member since: 25 Jul 2012)
I think Elop has done a wonderful job at reviving Nokia. Everyone that bashes him is doing so because he didnt choose Android. Google didnt step up and offer Cash incentives like MS did to help Nokia survive until they were able to sustain themselves. Just releasing phones using Android was no guarantee of success. Elop had to put the companies best chance at future survival 1st and what Microsoft offered was their best option. As we can see its working out perfectly. Nokia is taking back the # 1 position in many markets. Their future is looking very good.

Well, I don't like Mr. Elop. I don't comment that he's good or not. I vote for the current COO, Mr. Kevin Turner.
43. Whateverman (Posts: 3262; Member since: 17 May 2009)
Elop is a mole, so I think he is the obvious choice for M$. By sticking to his guns and making WP device ONLY, he has slowed Nokia's comeback. Say what you want about Android, Meego, or Symbian... They would be back on top today had they not put all their eggs in one basket. Android fans are still clambering for a Nokia with Jelly Bean, whether it's skinned or vanilla. The cheers for it are only getting louder, and when Elop leaves, Nokia should listen to its old fans who want to come back. And I'm not saying they should switch, the should make both!

I'm gonna tell you honestly most likely is never gonna happen. I could change MS and make it right they have actually good products but sometimes bad decision too. I know what MS needs and MS who and what MS don't need.

Jathan Innerarity, originally from Lindale, Texas, has joined Lycoming College as visiting assistant professor of theater and scenic and lighting designer and technical director. He received his bachelor's degree in scenic design from Stephen F. Austin State University, Nacogdoches, Texas, and most recently received his master's degree in scenic design and technical production from the University of Memphis in Tennessee. He designed and taught while earning his master's degree, and also designed professionally for the Hattiloo Theatre in Memphis and the Pacific Conservatory of Performing Arts in Santa Maria, Calif.
Innerarity said that SFA allowed him to study art as well as theater while earning his degree and that inspired his vision and way of working.
"This dual path of study helped me come to the understanding that as a scenic designer, everything that I design for the stage is a sculpture that is literally viewed from all sides," he said. "I do not simply design backgrounds for the actors to play in front of, but design and create environments in which they interact. Theatre is alive, if you will; it breathes, grows, and interacts. The performers, stage, lighting, costumes and the audience all form this living breathing piece of art."
Article Photos
The Sun-Gazette recently had the opportunity to ask Innerarity about his scenic design background and moving to the Williamsport area.
KRISTA STORM: When did you become interested in theatre?
JATHAN INNERARITY: My father was a director, designer and theater educator, so my love of theater began rather early in life.
KS: How did you end up here in central Pa.?
JI: Lycoming College kept making it to the top of the list. The area is beautiful, the students excited to be here and the professors are dedicated to the students and to academia.
KS: What do you like about designing?
JI: I love designing, building and sculpting. Designing a show is lending a hand in a collaborative living sculpture. Where a fine artist may spend months or even years working on a piece meant to last a lifetime, we theater artists spend months creating something that is temporary - meaning that we only have a moment to capture, engage, entertain and hopefully teach our audience. After the show closes, it goes away and another show goes up.
KS: Is there a show you have always wanted to design?
JI: If I had to choose only one it would be "Jet de Sang," or more commonly known as "Spurt of Blood." Written by theater theorist Antonin Artaud in 1925, it is a vivid surrealist piece that in only three short pages captures a world of creativity.
KS: Do you have a favorite playwright, era or style?
JI: As a designer they tell you not to limit yourself by having a favorite, but being human I naturally do. I love the "isms." The world of non-realism has a special place in my heart. As man tried to explain the horrors of both world wars, he found that realism could not logically explain the illogical events; the only explanations could be found by moving completely away from the realism norm and into worlds based on imagination and creativity.
KS: What inspires your designs?
JI: It is the dialogue that influences me the most. Plays are meant to be seen and heard, not read, so the first thing I do is Sharpie over all of the stage directions. The spoken lines of the play will give me the clues I need to design the world, to find the moments I need to light.
KS: What is your favorite part of the process?
JI: As a scenic designer I love building a 1/4" or 1/8" scale model of the show. It combines craft and artistry together with every show being a different and unique process of discovering how to create, in scale, the world I have helped design. It also serves a practical purpose as I show it in the early stages of the rehearsal process to both the cast and the crew that will build the show. It allows us to see a complete picture of our completed set before a single board has been cut.
KS: What is the best experience you have had as a designer?
JI: I would have to say that my scenic design of "Bat Boy: The Musical" would rank up there as the best. I was working with a wonderful director, Copeland Woodruff, who at the time was bouncing between teaching at Juilliard and Memphis, and a very talented lighting designer and close friend, Vince Bassile. The collaboration, the open discussions between us, and the creativity of a very talented cast allowed the production to flow, grow and evolve into pure collaborative artistry.
KS: What are you looking forward to at Lycoming College?
JI: We have a very balanced season that will allow me as a designer a chance to explore, create and educate.
The Epic theater of Brecht followed by a modern social movement production and ending with a classic, light-hearted but yet thought provoking piece. Every show is unique and challenging in its own way, but then that is the excitement.
KS: If you could work with anyone, with whom would you like to work?
JI: Joe Mielziner for a start; his level of artistry is extraordinary. I would love to have worked with Artaud, but that might have entailed being locked in a 1920s home for the insane with him, and elctro-shock therapy just doesn't sound pleasant.

Students will also introduce one another to their own approach to education as well as the perspectives and ideas that we all bring into this course: What is theoretically "radical" in today's present social, political, and cultural climate? How might radical cultural and political theories reinvigorate our perspectives on education? Students are also urged to take a closer look at the relationship between theory and educational practice in order to develop a critical perspective of contemporary thought on education and to debate one's own research in respective and relevant fields with a better understanding.

Chat Application for Windows 7 Phone
An article by Will No Comments
XDA Member has developed a chat application for Windows 7 Phone called "chatCentral" Unlike other application chatCentral there will not be list of channels if you want to join then you have to type in the name. According to developer JoeTheFro this is done to make the chat private. Most items will have context menus, so when in doubt, long press. If you want to speak with the Developer he'll be available in the channel called "Support"
Here are few screenshots:

A dispute between two, maybe more, people led to the stabbing death of a 20-year-old man Saturday night.
Buffalo Police said the stabbing occurred in the 400 block of Tonawanda Street just before 11 p.m. and followed a fight between the man and at least one other person.
The victim, whose identity has yet to be released, died shortly after the stabbing.
Anyone with information about the stabbing is asked to call the Buffalo Police's confidential tip line at 847-2255.

As a football player at Dexter High School, Joe Romine spent a lot of time in the weight room and often found himself reading bodybuilding magazines.
Now a 26-year-old Pinckney resident, Romine can be seen in the same magazines he read while growing up and is on the way to living his dream to be a professional bodybuilder.
Romine was the model for an article on a trapezius workout in the February issue of "Muscle Fitness" and is slated to appear in "MuscleMag," "Rep" and "Muscular Development' magazines later this year.
Romine has seen his career skyrocket after being noticed by industry insiders when he placed sixth in the light-heavyweight division at the 2008 International Federation of Body Builders North American Championships last October.
"It was like the snap of a finger and things changed," Romine said. "One day, you're a completely normal person, and the next day they're trying to make you into a superstar."
After graduating from Dexter, Romine chose to become a plumber's apprentice, but after a year, his competitive itch came back and bodybuilding seemed the perfect way to scratch it.
Bodybuilding appeals to Romine because unlike most sports, the preparation never ends.
"You have to give 100 percent of your time to bodybuilding or you won't even be successful at a low level," Romine said. "Bodybuilding is every meal, every couple of hours. It's constant. It never stops."
Romine eats about every two hours and spends two to three hours in the gym every day. As a show approaches, he alters his diet to bring out the shape of his physique.
"It essentially does what a bowl of oatmeal does when you add water, it swells up," Romine said. "That's what your muscles do, they get bigger and bigger."
Romine enjoyed some success early in his career, including fourth in his division at the National Physique Committee Mr. Michigan in 2005, then took two years off to marry his wife, Kristin.
In 2007, Romine returned to win the NPC Mr. Michigan Light Heavyweight and overall, which qualified him for the recent North American meet.
Wallie Gumiela, who owns the Powerhouse Gym in Brighton where Romine works out, says all the success isn't likely to go to Romine's head.
"He's a very down-to-earth kind of guy," Gumiela said. "He's very popular at the gym. Everyone looks up to him. He gives a lot of advice out to people when people approach him and ask him."
Romine broke through with a sponsorship from supplement maker MuscleTech, but continues work as a plumber while he prepares for the June junior nationals in Chicago.
Depending on how he performs at junior nationals, Romine will attend either the North American meet in August or nationals in November where he hopes to earn his pro card to move to the professional circuit.
"He has the desire to become a professional over the next couple of years." Gumiela said. "If he pursues the avenue he's on right now, he will achieve his pro card."

Endemol, Matt Kunitz behind reality program
ABC is teaming with Endemol USA and "Fear Factor" showrunner Matt Kunitz to produce "Wipe Out," a reality competition designed to produce what the network hopes will be "the most crashes, face plants, impacts and wipeouts ever seen on television."
Like the Alphabet's long-running "America's Funniest Home Videos" — a series built on thousands of clips of people getting hit in the groin — "Wipe Out" will go for laughs, not drama.
"There's just something inherently funny about watching someone wipe out, as long as they're not seriously hurt," said Endemol USA topper David Goldberg. "It's why we watch Charlie Chaplin or cartoons."
Developed and exec produced by Kunitz, "Wipe Out" will feature 24 contestants trying to make their way through increasingly tough obstacle courses. "But the courses are designed to make people crash and burn," Goldberg said, explaining that there will be wipeouts "from the minute the show starts."
After a series of elimination rounds, four finalists will compete in the Thunderdome-like "Wipe Out Zone." The winner walks away with $50,000 at the end of each episode.
Goldberg said his company has been "trying to create a high-octane competition show" since "Fear Factor" left NBC a few years back.
"We think this show represents the next generation," he said. "It shares some of 'Fear Factor's' DNA, but unlike 'Fear Factor' — which focused more on danger and grossouts, 'Wipe Out' is not about scaring the hell out of people."
John Anderson of ESPN's "SportsCenter" will host the series, with Jill Wagner serving as co-host. Kunitz, who has an overall deal with Endemol USA, will exec produce.

I am dreading the day we have to go through my Mom and Dad's and my MIL's homes. I have very little room to absorb anything. I love old stuff bur after years of collecting my own old stuff I love, I have no room for any of theirs. And with that thought I am off to your Etsy site. haha!ReplyDelete
My parents ran estate sales for awhile so I have helped organize and run several. I loved sorting thru the stuff but it is hard work. They often bought the estates outright so my "pay" usually came in the form of a treasure or two.ReplyDelete
I'm spending a little time checking out new blogs, so i thought id stop and say hello to you folks. Richard from the Amish community of Lebanon Pennsylvania.ReplyDelete

Honestly. Considering all those Huawei ads during the Olympics a phone such as this should be running ICS at least. This looks like a nice phone but they got lazy.

When doctors at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia laid their eyes on Khalil Wimes on Monday night, they saw a broken and emaciated little boy.
He was unconscious, sunken, and sallow, 6 years old but weighing only 29 pounds.
His mother, Tina Cuffie, 44, had five other children who were removed from her care. She had taken her son to the hospital, saying he had slipped in the bathroom. She could not explain the sea of scarring along the boy's arms, face, back, and neck.
Khalil died within the hour of blunt-force trauma to the head, a medical examiner ruled. Cuffie and the child's father, Latiff Hadi, 48, were charged with murder.

Shelvin Mack wasn't daunted by playing on college basketball's biggest stage.
After all, this was nothing new for Butler.
Mack scored 24 points, including 10 straight in a key second-half run, and the Bulldogs beat Virginia Commonweatlth 70-62 on Saturday night for their second straight trip to the title game.
The junior seemed perfectly comfortable from the start, then stepped up in the second half when most of his team was struggling on offense. Butler led by one before Mack outscored VCU 10-4 in just over 2 minutes to stretch the lead to 54-47.
Of course, the Mack didn't do it alone, with the Bulldogs getting 17 points from Matt Howard to give America's favorite underdogs another shot at the national championship.
