I have always been a fan of the live game series even though they have had a bumpy road along the way I have never shifted to 2k.

Welcome to Mooseport
I think that everyone in the fictional town of Mooseport, Maine, is portrayed as stupid just so Ray Romano's "aw, shucks" style doesn't seem out of place. Unfortunately, this exposes the depth of Romano's limitations as an actor in a harsh new light. A half hour of Romano once per week is more than enough. A continuous stream of him over the course of 90 minutes is the acting version of Muzak.
In a sitcom, doltishness can be believable because the characters exist in their own little world. On his television show, Romano defines his world. In "Welcome to Mooseport," Romano's shtick is transposed into real life, where it fails miserably. He portrays hardware store owner Handy Harrison. Maura Tierney plays Sally, his veterinarian girlfriend.
When former President Monroe Cole (Gene Hackman) moves into town, the residents pretty much go apeshit. I guess it's not surprising that people in a small town would begin acting like imbeciles preceding the arrival of a popular President, but it's just not something I want to pay money to watch. Suddenly, the town is in need of a new mayor and President Cole is running against Handy. Stuck in the middle is Sally, who's sick of Handy's waffling on their future and has also been asked out on a date by the President (the first President ever to be divorced in office, incidentally).
Boy, does Maura Tierney get the shaft in this film. Her choices are a man 30 years her senior and another who doesn't bathe after cleaning septic tanks. Seriously, there's no rational explanation why Sally would put up with Handy, much less go out with him in the first place. He's a dolt and he smells. These two characteristics do not usually translate into "chick magnet."
In order to make Handy's simple nature heroic, the President and his entire staff are reduced to the role of imbeciles. The plot convolutions necessary to compel Cole into running for Mayor fall into place like paranoid ramblings from the Drudge Report. Ultimately, in a film where every single person, with the exception of Maura Tierney's character, is an imbecile, Ray Romano comes out smelling like a rose. Unfortunately, when your rose is sitting at the bottom of an intellectual cesspool, it just smells like everything around it.

WARREN - Call it David Grohl Alley remastered.
The downtown alley dedicated to the Foo Fighters frontman who was born in Warren is getting a makeover.
Warren artist John Mechling is painting new designs on the freshly blacktopped alley that runs parallel to the 100 block of Market Street. He estimated that he and Josh Datish, who has been assisting him, will have 40 to 50 hours invested in the project by the time it's completed this week.

Mechling is one of the local artists who created paintings on plywood canvases to hang in the alley when it was dedicated in 2009.
''The fact that they were willing to let artists come down and express their freedom and I'm a big music lover, so I wanted to come down and get involved,'' he said.
The alley pavement now is decorated with paintings of musical instruments, logos for the different bands Grohl has been associated with and other details to celebrate the career of the 13-time Grammy Award winner.
''I went to Dave's website to see the kind of art he likes,'' Mechling said. ''I'm trying to keep it rock 'n' roll-esque. I wanted to put something down that Dave would like.''
Mechling is working with 40 gallons of commercial-grade paint in multiple colors donated by Iowa-based paint manufacturer Diamond Vogel.
Pat Galgozy, executive director of Trumbull Art Gallery, said the plan is to do all of the work with money from donations and fundraisers. She said they won't be asking for any city funds for the project.
Repainting the alley surface is only the first step. Preliminary sketches call for installing the World's Largest Drumsticks, which were unveiled in July at the Warren Community Amphitheatre, at the west entrance of the alley next to Burger King on Main Avenue S.W. The drumsticks would be crossed, forming an arch over the alley, which would restrict access for larger vehicles. Trucks still could access the alley from the east end and from Thumm Alley, which runs alongside the downtown parking deck.
Galgozy said they are awaiting approval from all of the city departments that need to sign off on the plan, but so far there have been no objections.
The guardrail separating the alley from Burger King's property would be replaced by a metal sculpture of a musical staff and notes that will be created by Warren artist Aaron Chine, Galgozy said. Small stipends will be available for artists creating work to hang in the alley, and there are plans to install benches for visitors. A large banner at the east entrance of the alley will recreate part of the full-page ad Grohl placed in the Tribune Chronicle in July thanking everyone for the alley and the drumsticks.
Each phase will be completed as the money is raised.
Downtown residents and business owners Paul Clouser (National Fire and Water Repair) and Greg Bartholomew (All-American Cards & Comics and a Warren city councilman) through Main Street Warren have been leading the renovation effort with TAG.
''We're trying to get the alley back into shape,'' Clouser said. ''We see the traffic that goes through there. Every weekend there are people there taking wedding pictures, senior pictures. I've met people there visiting from Denmark, from Virginia. ... Our hopes are, once we get this thing under control, we can start moving out block by block and doing improvements through Main Street Warren.''
Joseph O'Grady, past president of Main Street Warren who came up with the idea for the alley honoring Grohl, said, ''Now it's really on the fast track. It's exciting. I'm really pumped about it.''
Clouser estimated the total cost of the alley efforts at $12,000.
A fundraiser is being planned in the alley Oct. 19. The event will feature live music and local artists, and River Rock at the Amp promoters Ken Haidaris and Marty Cohen have agreed to publicize the event in their advertising for Rocktoberfest, which is planned Oct. 20 at the Warren Community Amphitheatre.

State Sen. Mark Leno says he's close to winning final passage of the Legislature's first substantial change in drug sentencing laws in many years, a bill that would allow prosecutors to charge simple possession of drugs as a misdemeanor rather than a felony.
But San Francisco's district attorney says the bill doesn't go far enough, and he may try for a state ballot initiative to remove the prosecutor's option and make simple possession strictly a misdemeanor. Leno tried that approach last year but the Legislature emphatically rejected it, with DA's among the opponents.
The political infighting comes as Leno's SB649 awaits an Assembly floor vote after passing the Senate. The bill would replace current laws that make possession of cocaine, heroin and several other illegal drugs a felony, punishable by up to three years in prison. The crime would become a "wobbler," which could be charged as either a felony or a misdemeanor, with a maximum sentence of a year in jail.
As a practical matter, most people charged with drug possession in California are sentenced to treatment rather than prison these days because of Proposition 36, a ballot measure the voters approved in 2000. But felony convictions can have adverse effects in other areas, such as housing and employment, and Leno says it's time for a different approach.
Thirteen states already classify drug possession as a misdemeanor, the San Francisco Democrat said, and have experienced "lower rates of drug use, higher rates of drug treatment participation and even lower rates of violent and property crime." The state's nonpartisan fiscal analyst says SB649 could also save local governments as much as $160 million a year in reduced incarceration costs.
The California District Attorneys Association, which successfully opposed Leno's bill last year to make drug possession a misdemeanor, is also opposing his current bill, along with organizations of sheriffs and narcotics officers. Even though SB649 would still allow district attorneys to charge the crime as a felony, opponents argue that the possibility of a misdemeanor charge and no jail time would remove a drug defendant's incentive to plead guilty and enter treatment.
Leno said he's getting close to lining up the needed 41-vote majority in the Assembly, and may try to move the bill at next Thursday's session. He said he doesn't know whether Gov. Jerry Brown would sign it.
San Francisco District Attorney George Gascón doesn't agree with either side. He supported Leno's misdemeanor-only bill last year and said he's thinking of circulating it as an initiative for the 2014 state ballot.
"I think the public and the state (are) ready for this," said Gascón, who was a co-chairman of the Prop. 36 campaign in 2000, when he was a police official in Los Angeles. San Francisco already sends most of its drug defendants to neighborhood courts and treatment programs, he said, and has saved money and jail space without increasing crime. He also said he thinks he could line up funding for a statewide campaign and won't change his plans even if Leno's current measure becomes law.

Grace Hall is considered one of the best burlesque dancers in Italy. She not only performs on the stage but has made numerous appearances on the big screen as well along side people such as Gigi Proietti, Juliette Binoche, and Luciano Melchionna.
Currently Grace Hall is working on an Italian sit-com for the Italian and International market called "Lady Grace," where she plys the protagonist.
According to her bio;
Her neo-Burlesque shows project the viewer into a dream journey of past times,where old and precious costumes,specially manufactured for each show,function as a frame for her amazing performances.In fact what really sets her apart from the others, is her singing.Grace Hall matches the style of the Cabaret Divas from the '30s and 40s with the Italian tradition, along with the unfailing corsets,suspenders,glitter,sequins,gold,jewellry and enormous fans.
Once again bringing the wonderful photos is our Italian friend, from Senigallia, Italay, Libero Api. As as you can see, she really is something special.

The stealth bomber of sailboat racing came to Philadelphia yesterday.
Perched high overhead on a barge moored at Penn's Landing, the 132-long- foot sloop New Zealand, which arrived here yesterday for a four-day exhibit, seemed as dramatic in design as the black B-2 bomber - the so-called flying wing - unveiled Tuesday at an Air Force base in California.
The New Zealand, which made a highly publicized but unsuccessful challenge for the America's Cup in court and on the waters off San Diego, was as cloaked in secrecy as the B-2 during its construction. It is even built of composite materials similar to those used in the B-2.

Eat and Run: My Unlikely Journey to Ultramarathon Greatnessby Steve Friedman Scott Jurek
For nearly two decades, Scott Jurek has been a dominant force--and darling--in the grueling and growing sport of ultrarunning. In 1999, as a complete unknown, he took the lead of the Western States Endurance Run, a 100-mile traverse over the old Gold Rush trails of the California Sierra Nevada. He won that race seven years in a row, setting a course record along the way. Twice he won the Badwater Ultramarathon, a 135-mile "jaunt" through Death Valley. He triumphed in the 153-mile Spartathlon in Greece three times. And he was one of the elite runners who traveled to Mexico to run with the Tarahumara Indians, as profiled in the runaway bestseller Born to Run. His accomplishments are nothing short of extraordinary, but that he has achieved all of this on a plant-based diet makes his story all the more so.In Eat and Run, Scott Jurek opens up about his life and career--as an elite athlete and a vegan--and inspires runners at every level. From his Midwestern childhood hunting, fishing, and cooking for his meat-and-potatoes family, to his early beginnings in running (he hated it), to his slow transition to ultrarunning and veganism, to his world-spanning, record-breaking races--Scott's story shows the power of an iron will and blows apart all the stereotypes of what athletes should eat to fuel optimal performance. Chock full of incredible, on-the-brink stories of endurance and competition as well as fascinating science and accessible practical advice--including his own favorite plant-based recipes--Eat and Run will motivate everyone to "go the distance," whether that means getting out for that first run, expanding their food horizons, or simply exploring the limits of their own potential.
The Gentleman's Guide to Life: What Every Guy Should Know About Living Large, Loving Well, Feeling Strong, and Looking Goodby Steve Friedman
Whether you're a sensitive, bookish type or a beer-guzzling Cyber-jock--or just an average guy--The Gentleman's Guide to Life is a perfect and indispensable primer on looking, living, and feeling good, answering all your questions about clothes, career, fitness, love, and lust. How do I move up without selling out? How do I help my friends (and crush my enemies)? How do I feed and care for my boss? What kind of suit should I wear? What kind of shoes do I wear with the suit? Socks? Do I really need to take my vitamins? Is this impotence or lack of interest? How much sleep do I need? How can I bluff my way through a wine list? What is Cubism? How much should I tip? What CDs should I have to relax? To seduce? Do I like her? Do I really, really like her? What does she mean I don't listen? How do I propose (or ask for the ring back)? Am I the best man I can possibly be?
Lost on Treasure Islandby Steve Friedman
When Midwesterner Steve Friedman arrived in Manhattan, the land of the quick and the mean, raring to go and ready to conquer, he soon found pitfalls and pratfalls more numerous and perilous than he had ever imagined. Here is his utterly honest, often hilarious, self-deprecating account of those fateful years, starting with his first job at GQ and his awkward efforts to impress his boss, Art Cooper, and including real and imagined love affairs, disasters at work and play, growing self-awareness with its inevitable bouts of depression and subsequent therapies-all of which fail-and in the end, a wisdom that promises better things to come. In the tradition of Bright Lights, Big City and The Devil Wears Prada, Lost on Treasure Island is a witty rendition of the perils of growing up and being thrown into the real world. With sharp humor and unexpected sincerity, Friedman crafts a inviting portrait of the best of times and the worst of times. For all those who have confronted the endless opportunities of the Big Apple, only to discover how hard it is to succeed in this-or any-big city, this boisterous and often enlightening memoir will prove irresistible.

BINGHAMTON - Gerrit Cole's second road start in Double-A went much smoother than his first.
Six days after getting hit by a line drive and lasting just one inning in Harrisburg, Cole was back on the mound for the first time, this time in Binghamton.
Cole (2-1) rebounded very well as he allowed two runs - one earned - on six hits and struck out five in 5 2/3 innings (87 pitches). The Curve pieced together six runs and 10 hits and beat the B-Mets, 6-2, Monday at NYSEG Stadium for their fifth straight win.
The first overall selection in last year's MLB draft was taken to the hospital after a liner caught him below the left ear in his last start, and Cole had to pass multiple concussion tests before being cleared to start Monday. Cole said he was "fine" after the frightening incident last week, and it did not seem to bother him against Binghamton.
Cole retired the first seven batters he faced before Juan Centeno reached on an error by first baseman Matt Curry in the third inning. The first hit Cole allowed came two batters later when Juan Lagares hit an RBI single.
The right-hander then went on to allow at least two baserunners in the fourth and fifth innings, but he worked out of each situation without surrendering a run. The B-Mets scored their lone earned run off Cole in the sixth thanks to an RBI double from Wilmer Flores.
Fact Box
Next stop
Tonight: Altoona at Binghamton, 6:35 p.m.
Pitchers: Curve RHP Brandon Cumpton (8-6, 3.21) vs. B-Mets LHP Darin Gorski (5-4, 4.14)
Record: 40-41
Covering the bases
LEADING OFF: The Curve have provided RHP Gerrit Cole with early run support since he joined the team June 20. In Cole's three starts at Double-A, the Curve have scored in the first inning each time, and with two more first-inning runs Monday, they've scored a total of seven runs in those three frames.
SAFE AT FIRST: In addition to Cole, Jameson Taillon, another top pitching prospect for the Pirates, was starting Monday. Taillon, the second overall pick in the 2010 MLB draft, gave up one run and struck out two in seven innings for high-A Bradenton.
STEALING SECOND: If the Curve are able to finish off a sweep of the B-Mets tonight, it will be their sixth straight win and would put their record at .500 for the first time since they were 5-5 on April 16.
ROUNDING THIRD: SS Brock Holt, who was batting in the No. 3 spot for the first time this season, hit a solo homer in the third inning, his second of the season. It was Holt's 381st professional hit, but just his 10th home run.
HEADING HOME: The Curve won't be back in Altoona until Wednesday, but there will be entertainment at Peoples Natural Gas Field tonight. The Curve are hosting their third annual Ballpark Block Party this evening. The event lasts from 5-10 p.m. and features live music and fireworks among other activities.
- Stephen Pianovich
Of the 87 pitches Cole threw, 63 found the strike zone, and he issued just one walk. The prized prospect's velocity was impressive as the game went on, as Cole was clocked throwing in the upper 90s in the sixth inning.
In addition to pitching, Cole had the first two at-bats of his professional career. He struck out looking in the second inning in his first at-bat and grounded out to third in the fourth.
Cole's third start for the Curve closely resembled his first outing - his debut was June 20, and he gave up two earned runs in five innings with six strikeouts against New Britain - and his Double-A ERA now sits at 4.63.
The UCLA product will head to Kansas City later this week for the MLB All-Star Futures Game before he starts again for the Curve. Cole, as well as other top pitching prospect Jameson Taillon, will represent the Pirates in this year's showcase game, which will be played Sunday at Kauffman Stadium.
Binghamton starter Gonzalez Germen (4-6) outlasted Cole, going seven innings, but he gave up five runs - three earned - on eight hits and took the loss.
The heart of Altoona's order fueled its offense. Brock Holt, Matt Curry and Ramon Cabrera - who were hitting third, fourth and fifth, respectively - each had at least two hits and drove in one run.
Hunter Strickland didn't allow a run in two innings of relief to earn his first save.
Game recap
Key player: SS Brock Holt was 2-for-5 and hit a solo home run in the third inning.
Key play: LHP Nathan Baker got B-Mets C Juan Centeno to fly out with a runner on third to end the sixth inning and preserve a two-run lead for the Curve.
Key stat: At 40-41, the Curve are within one game of .500 for the first time since April 22, when they were 7-8.
How they scored
Top 1st: Maggi reached on fielder's choice, scored on Curry single (1-0); Holt singled, scored on Cabrera groundout (2-0).
Top 3rd: Holt solo homer (3-0).
Bottom 3rd: Centeno reached on Curry error, scored on Lagares single (3-1).
Top 4th: Cabrera doubled, scored on Chambers groundout (4-1).
Bottom 6th: Campbell singled, scored on Flores double (4-2).
Top 7th: Chambers reached on Flores error, scored on Tejeda sacrifice fly (5-2).
Top 9th: Maggi walked, scored on Curry single (6-2).

A Recipe for Two Cadbury Mini Egg BlondiesKelsey Banfield
In keeping with my baby weight loss goals I am working on only making two of everything sweet I want to eat. There is no better way to discourage overeating than by not having the offensive sweet in the house!! For Easter I would like an entire pan of blondies. However, since that isn't possible, I'll just make two. Of course, to celebrate I'll plant a few Cadbury Mini Eggs in the middle and call it a day! Of course, if it isn't Easter feel free to make them with chocolate chunks instead. They'll turn out just as well!
Two Cadbury Mini Egg Blondies
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1 large egg yolk
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
10 Cadbury Mini Eggs
1. In a large bowl mix the butter and sugar together until smooth. Then add the egg yolk and vanilla extract. Next, stir in the flour and baking powder until evenly incorporated. Then, stir in the mini eggs.
2. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and grease a 9 x 5 loaf pan. Pour the batter into the pan and baking for about 20 to 22 minutes. Test with a cake tester to make sure they are done. Remove from oven and serve!

Primetime Emmy Awards 2008
Emmy Hosts Brawl on Kimmel
Originally posted 09/18/2008 04:05PM
Peace and love may not prevail at Sunday night's 60th annual Primetime Emmy Awards ceremony, if Jimmy Kimmel's recent interview with the ceremony's five hosts is any indication.
With American Idol's Ryan Seacrest, Project Runway's Heidi Klum, Dancing with the Stars' Tom Bergeron, Deal or No Deal's Howie Mandel and Survivor's Jeff Probst all sitting before him, Kimmel makes the nearly fatal mistake of inquiring what they're all being paid for their emcee duties this weekend.
Suffice it to say, Klum steers clear of the brawl.
Kimmel's pre-Emmys show airs Sunday at 7 p.m. ET on ABC before the Primetime Emmy telecast.

"I'm not going to tell anyone to suck it," she said, referencing her speech from 2007 in which she infamously told Jesus to "suck it." "I would make love to this thing if I could."

"I think [co-host] Tom [Bergeron] should win because he's been in the game a lot longer," Harris told radio deejay Sean Valentine during an interview Monday on his MY FM radio show.
Of course, Bergeron faces tough competition in his category, top host for a reality-competition show. Also nominated: American Idol's Ryan Seacrest, who is also a colleague of Harris's from her work on E! News.
"I've got two guys throwing [the snub] in my face because I work with Tom and Seacrest," she said, joking. "Come on!"

The trial of Roger Anthony Williams began Tuesday in Moncks Corner.
Williams accused of murdering his 2-year-old son Rodricus Fred Williams in 2010 has maintained his innocence in the case, which captured the attention of the county and state.
The discarded body of the slain child was discovered in Orangeburg County two years ago.
Tuesday morning saw Grace Trotman testify. Trotman was the defendants live-in girlfriend at the time of the murder. Trotman has pleaded guilty to one count of homicide by child abuse in the case, as well as one count of desecration of human remains.
Trotman testified that the story she and the defendant told the public about a missing child who fell into the water by the Charleston Battery in 2010 was untrue.
Trotman would eventually tell investigators a different version of how the boy died and led them to his body, which was wrapped in trash bags and put inside a trash can filled with cement and dumped in the woods in Orangeburg County near Bowman.
While Trotman is not Rodricuss mother, she and Williams have two other children in common.
Trotman testified on Tuesday that she pleaded guilty on Feb. 16.
She said shes testifying because, he (Williams) didnt need to get away with it.
I owed that to Rodricus and I had to get it off my chest, Trotman said.
According to Trotman, Williams would punch Rodricus in the back and the head, and throw his face to the floor.
The night Rodricus died, Trotman said she called Williams at work and he told her not to call 9-1-1 because Rodricus had bruises. She said she didnt call 9-1-1 because she was scared.
Rodricus had officially been missing since July 6, 2010, but forensic investigators later determined he probably died on or around June 6. His body was wrapped in plastic bags, encased in concrete, and left behind a mobile home in Orangeburg County.
The body was so badly decomposed it had to be identified through DNA testing.
Investigators believe Rodricus suffered some medical issue on or around June 6 at the Longbourne Way home in the Sangaree area of Berkeley County, prompting Trotman to call Williams.
Williams allegedly directed Trotman not to seek medical attention for the boy, nor did he do so himself when he arrived at the home later.
A series of events began rapidly unfolding the evening of July 6 at Battery Park in downtown Charleston. At that time Trotman reported to Charleston Police that she saw Rodricus wandering the Battery and said he had possibly gone through the rails and fallen over the seawall into the harbor. An intense search for the boy ensued but was called off the next morning when it was determined that Rodricus had never been at the Battery.
Rodricus was the son of Williams and Shaneeka Washington, of Columbia. The two had made an arrangement for Rodricus to stay with Williams and Trotman at their home on Longbourne Way in Summerville until September 2010.

Thompson,36 in a report concerning transurethral operations performed at the Mayo Clinic during 1935, called attention to the use of sodium ethyl-1-methylbutylthiobarbituric acid in producing anesthesia. This drug is injected intravenously and seems unusually well suited to urologic practice. This anesthetic is suitable for cystoscopic examinations, manipulation of ureteral stones, removal of vesical tumors, litholapaxy and transurethral prostatic resection, in fact for almost any type of transurethral procedure which can be completed within thirty minutes.During the year 63 patients with neoplasm of the bladder were treated by transurethral methods, involving destruction by electrocoagulation or excision of the growth with either an operating cystoscope or the Stern-McCarthy resectoscope. Until a few years ago the transurethral destruction of all but very small vesical neoplasms involved repeated cystoscopic treatments which often extended over a period of several weeks or months. At present practically any pedunculated growth can be removed

For Star Trek Freaks, Chuck and Sandy Keep the Enterprise Sailing
Exchanging trivia and watching reruns weren't enough for Weiss and Sarris, who had first met, appropriately, at a San Francisco Star Trek fan club meeting. Eight months ago they opened a hole-in-the-wall store in Berkeley, Calif., hoping to cash in on the national craze for Trek memorabilia. It worked. The Federation Trading Post (which, as any genuine Trekkie knows, is a market in space patronized by the Enterprise crew) has grossed over $75,000 and spawned a satellite store in midtown Manhattan.
A former industrial filmmaker in San Francisco (who had become a Trek fan in the Navy), Weiss discovered a year ago that he was allergic to film processing chemicals. Seeking a new career, he took out a loan to buy a videotape machine to show Trek episodes at local club meetings. Then he met Sandy. "I had a boyfriend but he hated Star Trek," she says. "I used to hang up on him if he called during the show."
Soon after moving in together, Sandy and Chuck organized a two-day Trek convention. To their astonishment, they had to turn away 1,000 fans for lack of space in a local high school. Those who got in bought every kind of Star Trek spinoff in sight, from T-shirts to paperbacks.
It was all the encouragement the two needed to go into business. On opening day three months later 1,500 people were lined up in front of the Federation Trading Post. Best-selling items are $2 posters of Captain Kirk and Mr. Spock, the starship's pointy-eared first officer. Also popular are bumper stickers—"Star Trek Lives" and "Keep on Trekkin' "—and buttons—"Beam me up" (a crew member's request to enter the spaceship after being dematerialized). Many scientifically inclined Trekkers spend hours poring over the Starfleet Technical Manual, a bestseller at $6.95. It includes "documents" concerned with the founding of the United Federation of Planets plus diagrams of such essential equipment as a phaser (a weapon), a communicator (a sort of walkie-talkie and a homing device used to locate missing Enterprise members) and a tricorder (a modified computer). True Spock worshipers can also buy a pair of pointed foam rubber ear tips for $6.
Weiss characterizes his clients as "teenie-boppers intrigued by personalities, the technically minded fans interested in the hardware and those who are taken with the philosophy of the Enterprise crew." Sandy adds another category: "Spockies—little girls just reaching puberty. To them Spock is the ultimate sex symbol, because he's so aloof."
Weiss and Sarris have long since paid off their original $2,500 bank loan, plus $1,000 for merchandise which Sandy had run up on her Master Charge. Weiss now looks forward to a national chain of science fiction stores, while Sandy labors over a grammar and syntax for Klingonii—the language spoken by the Klingons, deadly enemies of the Star Trek crew. Together they vow to fulfill the planet Vulcan motto promulgated by Mr. Spock: Live long and prosper.

HTC says customers want thin models over more battery life
0. phoneArena 19 Apr 2012, 20:30 posted on
According to Taiwan based manufacturer HTC, its customers prefer a model that is thin over one with a thicker, longer lasting battery; in the case of the new HTC One X, a software update from the manufacturer has been sent to fix a power management bug that drained 10% to 20% of the handset's battery...

Clearly HTC didn't actually do focus groups on this. I don't necessarily have to have a Razr Maxx size battery, but it would be nice to have a 2000 mAh - 2200 mAh battery to at least be able to make it though the day. At this to the fact that they are abandoning the qwerty ship, and HTC really isn't trying to get out of the red.
HTC, for your sake get back to what built you. Quality and innovation. Stop worrying about your dam- profits. If you start making quality products(which you never really stopped doing) with a decent battery life, then you will get back to being profitable. Stop releasing phones every 3 months, and support the phones you do release. And In a timely manner. (ICS anyone?) If you do these things, you will get your customer base back. DON"T FOLLOW THE MOTO/SAMMY WAY OF SCREWING CUSTOMERS. Actually update your phones for 18 months from the EOL, and release updates within 3-4 months. Next, don't give up on the enterprise customers, and the qwerty keyboard. Last, GIVE US A BATTERY AND NOT A SUPER THIN PHONE. I would trade my rezound or TB anyday for a device that has the same feel of the two, maybe a mm or two thicker and has a 2000 mAh+ battery. MY FAVORITE PHONE OF YOURS IS STILL THE TOUCH PRO 2. I love the keyboards. But you have lost us.

Seriously.. Who would want a super thin phone over battery life? It's not like phones are super thick anyways... even the thicker ones of the bunch. I get like 12 hours of battery on my Inspire with moderate use and that's just under what I'd like. However, idk why people specifically bash HTC for battery as if other phones always have outstanding battery life. It must be the cool thing to hate them now. They definitely should pack more juice in their phones though.

Hello... I am running PIP-LITE (V184.108.40.206) modules on Macro-Techs with SA (1.10.10). During setup for the "Average Power Limiter", the visual graph represents the threshhold in Watts and the input window indicates the threshold in Volts (indicated next to the input window).
The value entered in the window appears to track 1 : 1 numerically with the representation on the graph which leads me to believe that either the graph actually represents volts, the input value is actually in Watts or I am overlooking something simple... setup, firmware ect.....
Which is correct. Does the value in the input window represent watts or volts?

It appears the Spin control got mislabeled. The graph is labeled correctly and the spin control works properly, with respect to the Graph, but the "(VOLT)" label should be "(WATTS)" for the Average Power Limiter.
Good catch. Thanks for bringing it to our attention. I have listed it as a bug to the programmers.

KALAMAZOO, MI -- The Kalamazoo Brownfield Authority on Thursday authorized reimbursing Arcadia Brewing Co. an additional $75,000 for a total of up to $325,000 to dispose of contaminated soil at its future Kalamazoo site.
About 2,800 cubic yards of contaminated soil needs to be disposed on the site. The board in January agreed to reimburse Arcadia up to $250,000 for site work, including digging up the contamination and filling the hole with suitable soil or sand.
Jerome Kisscorni, Kalamazoo assistant city manager and economic development director, said the Arcadia site at 701 E. Michigan Ave., which formerly housed a Consumers Energy building, is more challenged than most Brownfield sites in the city.
Crews have spent several months digging up soil and constructing the 30,000-square-foot facility, including with a 4,500-square-foot brewpub, a 1,500-square-foot office area and a 24,000-square-foot beer production area. But the extensive site preparation found about 2,800 cubic yards of contaminated soil that will have to be disposed of off-site.
"As they dug into it we ran into more and more problems," Kisscorni told the board Thursday.
The brewpub is slated to open in December.
The brownfield board will reimburse Arcadia from the Local Site Remediation Revolving Fund before capturing any tax increment revenue on the site.
Enmar LLC bought the parcel, valued at $88,000, for $5,000 since it is a brownfield site. The city is giving the company a $200,000 low-interest loan and $120,000 in tax increment incentives.
The BRA has invested $120,000 in environmental assessments on the property and removal of debris and the old building foundation, investments that can be recouped through capture of taxes generated by its development.
The authority expects to receive captured tax revenues associated with the Arcadia project for five years following the full payment or reimbursement for eligible costs.
