|Good god man
What in the actual fuck is your point? Reading your posts in this thread is giving me AIDS. Yeah, Hoke "won" at his previous stops. Rod Marinelli "won" with the Lions, too.

so he sold a little weed when he was a kid.... so what? You must be perfect. He's done more for this area than pretty much anyone. He constantly gives back to the community and is always "repping" Michigan. Unless you're doing more to help Detroit, you should just keep your garbage opinions to yourself

|Great input!
Great input! Did you even bother reading up on the issue at hand before spouting off? This has nothing to do with Kid Rock's music( I'm not a fan of it, either), and he's certainly not giving anyone a lesson in morality. He's one of the most outspoken advocates for Detroit and Michigan in general; he does a lot of good things around here, and all he's doing is responding to a hack job by the Freep. I'd like to cordially invite you, Magnus, to go fuck yourself.

What? How is college football relevant to an NHL game? For the vast majority of the population (aside from people like us who spend their time on Michigan message boards), the world does not revolve around Michigan football....

There is no doubt in my mind they'd sell out if it was Wings-Leafs or Wings-Blackhawks. I am curious if they would sell alcohol though. Seems like that would be the only hangup

After firing up the google machine, it is revealed that he's from State College, PA and grew up loving PSU. His animosity toward Michigan in that article makes a little more sense now

|Two factual errors
in two posts. Clearly, getting the facts straight are not that important to you. Despite the economy, the Wings are still popular. Attendance has been fine this season. And as for this:" Alas, I have teeth and the ability to quickly post another link proving the point", you sure are a swell guy, a true asset to this board.

|Reading comprehension
not your strong suit. The 3-4,000 empty seats were for the first 4 games of the 2007 season, not the playoffs. You are out of your mind if you don't think a Wings game @ the Big House wouldn't be a huge draw.

Interesting, considering there isn't a Wing's game tonight. Do you actually go to games? The arena is plenty full on most nights.

Muramasa: The Demon Blade
(Wii, Vita )
Amazing Game, Diminished a bit by the TranslationBy Kaihaku Hitoare Score:
Jul 21, 2011 5:53AM PST
First, a warning, if you don't have a decent understanding/appreciation of Japanese culture you will probably have some trouble with the plot of this game. It draws heavily on Japanese history, folklore, and mythology. Concepts like Oni, Kitsune, and Shinto deities are assumed to be familiar to the player.
The battle system relies heavily on swift button-mashing at it's core but it is deeper than that; tactical usage of items, special abilities, and different swords is essential. I'd compare the button-mashing favorably to Smash Brothers, it's simple but robust and intuitive. The characters gain experience and loot for defeating enemies, gaining increased strength and vitality as they level up. They also gather 'spirit' by eating food and 'soul' by defeating enemies/gathering green orbs, which are then used to forge new blades. Each blade has an attack rating and a special ability that can be used in combat; many also grant an additional passive effect like immunity to poison, increased stats, or an experience boost. There's also a cooking system, the characters gather ingredients and cook meals restoring health, gaining spirit, and often granting themselves a temporary special effect like boosted strength or increased sword regeneration.
I can see why some reviewers claimed that the gameplay can get repetitive. I didn't experience that myself but I grew up on titles like Ninja Gaiden and Double Dragon. So it really depends on your attention span - personally, I usually played through one act a sitting and I thought that very fulfilling.
The fodder enemies are, for the most part, fun to beat on and not that great of a challenge. However, there have been a few times, particularly with flying enemies, where I found the fodder quite challenging. In my opinion there was enough variety among them to keep me interested. With a few exceptions the boss fights are simply outstanding - extremely challenging/entertaining.They range from an agile swordsmaster to a towering boss two screens tall to a swarm of giant centipedes. In my opinion, the boss fights are definitely the hi-light, beating on fodder is fun...occasionally threatening but the bosses are a blast. There are three difficulty levels so you can adjust the game and unlock all content at the right challenge level for you.
Plot: Lost in Translation
Significant portions of the story and characterization were lost in translation, the English translation gets the job done but it cuts out a lot of detail and covers only the basics. For example, there's a bit of dialogue where Jinkuro-Momohime is talking to Kongiku, a kitsune devoted to him... She tells him that her sister has seen a certain important character and begins praising his noble demeanor. In the English subtitles, Jinkuro-Momohime interrupts with "Enough! Just tell me where he is." In the Japanese voice acting, he says "Ahh, enough already! Whose side are you on, Kongiku? Just tell me where he went!" It's a small change, true, but similar changes are made throughout the game, threatening to add up to death by a thousand cuts. That said, these changes don't ruin the plot or the characters, but they do greatly diminish them. I will say, leaving the Japanese voice acting in was one of the best choices the localization team could have made - it fits perfectly and carries a lot of emotion even if I couldn't understand the meaning of most of the words.
All that said, the characters are excellent and the plot only a few steps behind them. I should warn you, it is a very Asian story and the first set of endings may be very unsatisfying to Western players - but keep at it, there are six endings to this game and they get increasingly "better".
Graphics and Sound
Hands down, this is the most beautiful 2D game that I've ever played. The characters and backgrounds are extremely well animated. The music is good, very thematic and appropriate. I wouldn't buy the soundtrack but it fits the game.
This is a beautiful game with intense action sequences, compelling characters, and a solid plot. It's easy to play, hard to master, and wonderful to watch. Highly recommended for action RPG fans unless they have a short attention span or don't appreciate Asian culture

South River police have arrested a New York man they suspect commuted from Queens each weekend to sell crack cocaine in the borough, police said today.
The Friday bust proved profitable for local law enforcement, which seized more than $13,000 from Adika Anderson and in hotel room the 27-year-old had rented in East Brunswick's Studio 6 Extended Stay hotel, Lt. John Casey said.
Officers also took the man's 2009 Dodge Charger, which they believe he purchased with drug proceeds, as well as 3 ounces of crack, Casey said. The crack has a street-value of about $8,000, Casey said.
Detective Robert Mclosky had been after Anderson for more than a month, Casey said. The department, working with the Middlesex County Prosecutor's Office, was able to make an arrest after Anderson allegedly sold crack to an undercover officer in a school zone.
Casey said police believe Adika drove to the area from his home in Jamaica, Queens, each week, staying Thursday through Sunday to deliver narcotics around the borough in rented cars.
Adika faces four felony charges, including selling crack cocaine to an undercover officer within a school zone, Casey said. He is being held in Middlesex County jail on $150,000 bail, with no 10-percent option.

HourlyHours to be determined
I have approximately 40-60 minutesworth of video that needs to be transcribed. I currently teach an English discussion class with around 10 students (mostly Japanese) and I need you to transcribe the video into a written script. Here are the instructions and requirements for this project:
1. Broadband connection required.
This video will be uploaded on Ustream (downloadable though password protected). So you'll basically need a broadband internet connection to download the video.
2. Start Time and Deadline
The discussion class will take place on 6/2(Sun) 10AM-12:30PM (Japanese time) and the video will be ready by 15:00 (Japanese time). I will send you the link to the video by 15:00 (JST) and I will need it back within 36 hours. I will start a weekly seminar this autumn so if you're good, I will ask you on a regular basis.
3. Price/Time Limit
For this project I am willing to pay $10- $18 (per hour worth of transcription). If it goes over an hour, I will pay you additional according to our agreed rate for every 5 minutes. The hours you will be charging is NOT the hours you actually worked on completing the transcription but you will be charging the video minutes asked to do.
4. Required quality
I will give you all the names of the participants and you will be creating a detailed script of what he or she is saying during the discussion. You may leave out the "um-hums" or trivial comments (but please don't leave out any clarification questions/comments no matter how trivial it is since I view them important)
There are lots of rambling and some comments may not make sense but I want you to try your best to write it down.
5. Format
You will create this using MS Word and will indent it just like a movie script so I can easily see it (I'll send you the format before you start). Also, I need you to put in a time stamp for every 5 minutes.
6. Requirement
Though the discussion is done in English, people participating in the discussion are 7 non-Native speakers. So I have attached a sample one minute audio file (the actual one will be done looking at a video) to check whether you can handle Japanese accented English.
You MUST transcribe the sample audio to be considered for the job. This will let me see whether you are capable of doing the job and compare with other bidders. As for the sample voice script, please don't worry about defining who is speaking. Please just do the best you can and transcribe the file as you hear it in a free format.
7. Bidding
Please provide an exact dollar amount and the amount of time you will need for this project in your bid.
Again, I will have a similar projects on a weekly basis starting this fall (40 minutues to an hour each week) so if selected, you might be asked to do this regularly.
Thank you,

Alabama will have to replace a number of key contributors from this year's BCS title-winning team before the 2013 season kicks off. The Tide are loaded with talent, but a number of guys get lost in the shuffle of the stacked recruiting classes that Nick Saban's staff reels in.
There are five underrated players who will fill major roles for the Tide and have breakout seasons this fall. The offensive line, linebacking corps and offensive skill positions will all see new playmakers in 2013.
This is a look at the five players who will earn their way into the Crimson Tide talking points before the end of the 2013 season.

This is a follow-up of sorts to my piece on Mikael Hafstrøm's adaptation of Stephen King's 1408. If you're interested, you should check that out. There, I half-marveled at and half-lamented the fact that the film managed to transform 1408 from a spectacularly scary, quasi-Lovecraftian horror tale into a personal, abstract meditation on grief and loss. In effect, the movie transplanted the story from the conceptual, hard-horror half of King's ouvre (think Cell and From a Buick 8) to the character-driven half (Lisey's Story, Bag of Bones). It was still a good film, but it needed someone who understood the existential terror that King is so good at evoking: a glimpse of something so alien, so divorced from the world we know, that it is simply beyond our comprehension. That's scary. Give me a movie like that.
At the time I wrote that post, such a film already existed. I suspected that this was the case, but I hadn't read the source material, and so couldn't validly make the comparison. Now I can: Frank Darabont's The Mist understands the sort of paralyzing, staring-into-the-abyss horror that King does so well. Even more impressive: not only does it brilliantly translate that aspect of the novella to the screen, it – like 1408 – fleshes out dimensions that the author barely implied. I knew I loved the film when I saw it, but only now do I understand how accomplished it really is.
As for horror: the movie perfectly recreates the novella's collision between the ordinary and the otherworldly. The scene early in the film, when Jeffrey DeMunn barrels into the grocery store, bloodied and hysterical, yelling about "something in the mist," is one of the scariest, most iconic moments in modern horror. The creatures we eventually see aren't generic, weightless CGI concoctions – they are, convincingly, from Somewhere Else. And consider this passage late in the novella, which occurs after David Drayton and his like-minded companions make their way God-knows-where in his SUV: "Something came; again, that is all I can say for sure. It may have been the fact that the mist only allowed us to glimpse things briefly, but I think it just as likely that there are certain things that your brain simply disallows. There are things of such darkness and horror – just, I suppose, as there are things of such great beauty – that they will not fit through the puny human doors of perception." Those who've seen the film will remember the unspeakable monstrosity Dave is describing here, and I can only say that the movie brilliantly captures his sentiment. It conveys a mixture of wonder and terror that took my breath away.
As for themes: the film's exploration of faith, culminating in the conclusion that it was faith in humanity that was crucial and lacking, is deeper than King either managed or intended. In the novella, the character of Mrs. Carmody – played by Marcia Gay Harden on screen – was largely a plot device. King certainly intended some measure of commentary on the way people respond to a sanity-shaking crisis, but he doesn't spend much time on her, and she mostly serves as a way to get Drayton and his pals out of the Federal Market. In the movie, on the other hand, she's a centerpiece; a villainous siren. She starts a cult. She inspires discussions about human nature. The film makes her the story's thematic linchpin.
That brings us to the ending, which I wrote about at greater length some time ago. It's significantly different from King's hopeful, ambiguous coda. It's improbable enough that it has to be considered a 1408-like step toward abstraction, sacrificing immediacy and plausibility to make a point. And it's unforgivingly harsh –which many people, in turn, couldn't forgive. I still like it; I think it gels with the film's thematic ambition without outright violating King's intentions. After all, he too speculated that humanity might be making a stand somewhere.
The Mist flopped in theaters, and I hoped for some level of cult adulation on DVD. The more time passes, the more I resign to the fact that this isn't in the cards. The movie's probably not enough "fun" for cult status. But it's now my second-favorite King adaptation, behind only Carrie. 1408 added layers without grokking what makes King's horror so scary. The Mist finds a way to do both.

Making decisions is difficult, especially when you're not sure of the rules. When there are no answers to your questions, how can you possibly come to a conclusion? Sometimes you're forced down a path or must head in a particular direction without feeling totally confident. One thing I know for sure is being forced into these types of decisions typically doesn't feel good and often doesn't end well.
Unfortunately, over the past few years, we've had to make a lot of hard decisions — not only in our financial lives but also in our personal lives.
Whether investment decisions, health care decisions, a job or career change or housing choices, many of us have had to make tough calls without all the information we'd like to have. It's forced us to be more conservative in our decisions, which can be a good thing, but I do believe enough is enough.
As we came closer to this year's presidential election, it seems many decisions became more difficult. Not only are we dealing with many of the same issues and insecurities, but we still don't know what will be different in the very near future.
The good news is, as you read this, we do know who will be President for the next four years. Whether or not you like the winner, at least the election brought some answers. What we need right now are answers.
I said it in a past column and I'll say it again: We're in a "Wait-'til-your-father-gets-home" economy.
When you were in trouble as a child, your mom said, "Wait 'til your father gets home." You didn't know what was going to happen when he got home, but you knew it wasn't going to be good. You may also not have known exactly when he was coming home or exactly what kind of mood he'd be in when he got there.
The point is you were paralyzed with fear and insecurity until the event happened. That event is called: the answer. IT was the answer to your question, "What's dad going to do to me?"
Right now we're all asking, "What's this economy going to do to me and when will it happen?" Well friends, I think we might have a few answers soon.
Again, I must stress that I don't believe it's as important which candidate won and what he does, as much as just knowing what's coming. Of course we all have our favorite and many have strong beliefs, but we can all agree that just knowing what to expect next is amazing.
We might love or not like at all what we're going to get with the president, but at least we'll be able to start making educated decisions. It's just like dad coming home. We might not have liked the punishment or the tongue lashing, but at least when it was over we could get on with our lives. We survived it and moved on. Maybe we were a bit scared, a little scared or had a bruised backside, but we made it.
Over the next few weeks and months, a lot of information is going to come out and I urge you to pay attention. If you have an advisor, meet with him. If not, find one. Ask the advisor what you should expect. Find out if anything is going to change in your life and if you should make changes before something else happens. Whether its tax law, foreign policy, U.S. concerns or corporate changes, something will most likely change or become clearer. Don't be caught by surprise.
Now, put this column down and go get back to your life, now that the election is over. I know many of us were obsessed with it. It's "in the books" now and it's time to move forward.

Galaxy Nexus users having issues with volume, media goes crazy

VZW has pretty stringent testing standards to release a phone. Lots of phones have been delayed months on VZW because of that.. (cough cough bionic..cough)
lets hope they get it figured out quickly though. Regardless of whenever it releases, its going to be a huge hit.. especially if its sold in multiple carriers and their brick n mortar stores... so that I'm not worried about.
2. kshell1 (Posts: 1143; Member since: 05 Oct 2011)
im all for sammy having success with this phone but since amazon was having that sale i couldnt pass up an sgs2 epic touch for just a penny. i had to get away from the kyocera echo. da*n hinge finally broke -_-
3. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
lol, you still gave sammy some money. I feel ya. If i were up for switching carriers n such, that free SGS2 would have sold me.
Especially since theyve discovered they can change the resolution on it to 720p like the nexus and its stronger than the nexus anyways, so it will perform better under ICS. Kind of a win win there.
43. Skyrim (Posts: 36; Member since: 16 Nov 2011)
How can they change the resolution? If you really can this might change my descision on my next phone.
51. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
i posted a link the other day, but im at work so i cant right now.. just do a youtube search for SGS2 720p. it will probably pull right up.
9. AppleLover (Posts: 13; Member since: 21 Nov 2011)
I knew ICS would be full of bugs... Last I mentioned it people were all thumbing me down but NOW WHAT? its a rushed OS put on a POS phone with a rushed and ugly screen and a OLDA$$ gpu thats laughable. So much for the high hopes of having the GREATEST phone this year. Oh and don't forget that nasty camera which could hold a candle light to "other" phones which I won't be naming.

Are you feaking kidding me!! You must have not read this article earlier this week:
Not to mention we both know what would happen if each of these devices accidentally got dropped. Well lets just say with the Nexus one would still have a fully functional phone vs the iPhone which would be a total disaster. Now take your iTard ass some where else with all the bs your talking.
16. tacohunter (Posts: 408; Member since: 06 Nov 2011)
Calling someone iTard is trolling. You wanna provoke something?
18. iamcc (Posts: 1319; Member since: 07 Oct 2011)
You really are going to say Ivan is trolling? Did you read the post he is replying to?
That dude is clearly a bonified iTard.
20. tacohunter (Posts: 408; Member since: 06 Nov 2011)
Oh yeah you're right. On second thought AppleLover is a troll too. But still no reason to call someone itards. That's even closer to a troll.
28. iamcc (Posts: 1319; Member since: 07 Oct 2011)
I agree, but AppleLover is clearly a legitimate iTard.
It's only trolling if it's an unnecessary comment being used to provoke some sort of argument.
Calling all hispanics "border hoppers" is a racial slur.
Calling the dude at the police station who's being arrested for crossing the border illegally a "border hopper" is appropriate.
In this case, he's being a freakin' iTard.
30. tacohunter (Posts: 408; Member since: 06 Nov 2011)
Yes you're right but iTard is trolling. Just call him apple troll.
32. iamcc (Posts: 1319; Member since: 07 Oct 2011)
Fair enough.
39. AppleLover (Posts: 13; Member since: 21 Nov 2011)
ivan please refrain from all the hostility this site promotes a healthy and happy arguments.
with that said retard any phone would be F up just depend on how high and where you drop it on.
as far as the nexus goes you have yet prove me wrong:
pentile s0cks
camera on the nexus s0cks
ICS is full of BUGS
GPU is a OLD HAG BAG with a new clock speed???
if you weren't just a retard you would've had something better to say
15. iamcc (Posts: 1319; Member since: 07 Oct 2011)
Really? Full of bugs? Rushed OS? POS phone? Ugly screen?
Taco? Is that you!?!?!?!
5. Zayuh24 (Posts: 149; Member since: 21 Nov 2011)
I agree with you but on a half-note. Verizon tests the phones to a certain extent before selling them to the public, because they feel it is solely the manufacturer's responsibility to ship them a functional product.
Personally, I've gone through 4 replacement OG Droid's, the last 3 of which I have not downloaded a single third-party app, in less than 18 months. I do not blame VZW entirely (they say they do a 100-point check of every refurbished unit they send out; I'm calling BS on that), but I do believe they deserve some of the blame.
Overall, I believe the entire process is so frustrating on both consumers and suppliers, that carriers just say "eff it, here you go. We'll fix the 'small stuff' later." Neither the media nor consumers are forgiving, even though the blame ought to be shared by everyone as a whole. The pressure caused by consumers is put on manufacturers to rush a "perfect" product that has glitches, which leads to carrier heat from those same demanding consumers. A cycle of hypocrisy.

yep ios5 came bug free lol every new os comes with bugs
45. Sniggly (Posts: 7305; Member since: 05 Dec 2009)
Refurbished replacements suck. Once you send in your original phone to be replaced, you can almost guarantee that you're going to go through several replacements. And since Verizon canned the No Lemon policy (known during its existence as the Multi FRU Replacement policy, wherein three issues with three separate phones, which could include the original, guaranteed a brand new equivalent phone-so long as you could get to a Verizon store) the last glimmer of hope for a lasting remedy for frustrated users has disappeared from Verizon.
47. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
they got rid of the multi-FRU?!?!?!? boo.
46. Sniggly (Posts: 7305; Member since: 05 Dec 2009)
And Taco, see above. Having multiple replacements is a standard experience for anyone who receives a refurbished warranty or especially an insurance phone. It truly sucks, but it's the carrier's fault and not the manufacturer's. And it's most certainly not Android's fault.
13. xupru (Posts: 17; Member since: 21 Nov 2011)
remixfa, I really respect the degree of knowledge you seem to have on phones, I was hoping you could help me with a personal decision on buying. Is there anyway I could reach you or should I just post it as a comment to one of these articles?
19. iamcc (Posts: 1319; Member since: 07 Oct 2011)
Someone would give you thumbs down.... haha
Just mentioning "remixfa" instantly earns you thumbs down.

NOW I see why it's not released. Again Samsung forgoes quality control and tries to release a half baked effort. Honestly, who in the hell are they trying to fool here? They botched the Nexus S with all the problems it had, and they had ample time to fix that for the Galaxy Nexus.
42. willardcw4 (Posts: 169; Member since: 01 Oct 2011)
the iP4S was 'delayed' and there are still problems with that phone... they had plenty of time to hash out those issues, yet, didn't...
4. kpfirefighter (Posts: 160; Member since: 20 Sep 2011)
Ya but the coverge is a lot better with verizon than all the other carriers or, I would have switched a long time ago! cause the SGS2 is a badass phone!
6. kpfirefighter (Posts: 160; Member since: 20 Sep 2011)
I did talk to verizon employee this morning and he said that the nexus will be out this week from what they are hearing at all the stores I guess. But we know how that goes.
7. Zayuh24 (Posts: 149; Member since: 21 Nov 2011)
Yeah, it's all "he say/she say" nowadays with Verizon. They used to be much better in getting the word out about popular products. They spent too long advertising the Razr and i4s that they forgot about advertising the Rezound and the Galaxy Nexus. It is pretty hard to talk about three huge devices in one month, though.
8. superguy (Posts: 293; Member since: 15 Jul 2011)
Yawn. Until I see announcement from Verizon, I\'m not believing any rumors ... even from VZW employees.

How's your iOS 5 battery life?
Not trying to start another war, but every damn phone seems to have either a hardware or software bug these days.
21. tacohunter (Posts: 408; Member since: 06 Nov 2011)
My iPad is still on a version of ios 4. But I don't go for ios 5 till i'm completely sure the bugs are of the past.
also i post as many times as I can on the iPad.
34. Droid_X_Doug (Posts: 5993; Member since: 22 Dec 2010)
"But I don't go for ios 5 till i'm completely sure the bugs are of the past."
Awww. Where is your sense of adventure? I thought that battery-gate was just a 'minor bug'?
35. tacohunter (Posts: 408; Member since: 06 Nov 2011)
Not everyone does experience this. What's wrong with my decision to stay on ios4 for the moment. i'm just not taking any risks.
My iPad can live so long without a recharge. Unbelievable and only a small hour to recharge from 4%.
Also this is posted on the iPad. As 90% of my comments.
14. tacohunter (Posts: 408; Member since: 06 Nov 2011)
Don't worry it's a minor bug and will be fixed as soon as possible just like the other bugs on other phones.
24. Droid_X_Doug (Posts: 5993; Member since: 22 Dec 2010)
Ummm. The latest chatter on the Mac forums seems to be that Apple won't have a complete solution to battery-gate until iOS v. 5.0.2. I guess the third time is the charm, huh?
31. tacohunter (Posts: 408; Member since: 06 Nov 2011)
Yeap, and you think people can be perfect enouph, and never make mistakes?
33. Droid_X_Doug (Posts: 5993; Member since: 22 Dec 2010)
Well, it seems VZW is holding off releasing the G-Nexus until the obvious issues are sorted out. If memory serves, they did the same thing on the Bionic.
It isn't rocket science. Just requires some discipline.
36. roldefol (Posts: 4242; Member since: 28 Jan 2011)
I was hesitant to get another Samsung anyhow. I had two different Rogues (from different plants even) with different electrical/antenna problems. I love Sammy's hardware, but I can't trust the assembly quality.
40. gallitoking (Posts: 4718; Member since: 17 May 2011)
and we all know how dissapointed the Bionic owners are now that the Razr is released...

Solid Verizon CDMA, plus LTE for when I can finally receive it.
Dual-core 1GHz or higher.

Loads of storage capability.
HD/3D camera.
Decent battery life.
No sealed proprietary fruit-logo'ed BS.
Aaaaaaaand...GO! Oh, and I'd like a pony, and a Veyron, and Olivia Munn as a roommate.

For four months, the Nutley native had walked nearly 3,000 miles across the country with his best friend, Rob Bonora, in an exhausting bid to raise cancer awareness.
Together, the men traversed foggy coastlines, lonely highways and deserts.
But as they neared the finishing line in their hometown this afternoon, Bonora had one main concern.
"We can't get lost," he said. "That would be a disaster."
As it happens, the pair followed the right directions. On Franklin Avenue, about 100 people joined in the walk, trailing behind the pair in solidarity while speakers blared the Bon Jovi song "Who Says You Can't Go Home?"
The crowd gathered to cheer the return of the cross-country trekking duo, whose "Coast to Coast for a Cure" marathon has raised roughly $65,000 in donations.
After 2,912 miles and 11 pairs of sneakers between them, the Montclair State University graduates said they were happy to be back in New Jersey.
"I'm so proud Anthony and I made it," Bonora said after finishing the walk. "This really snowballed into something much bigger than either of us could have imagine and it's really remarkable."
Donations will be given to Gail's Angels, a nonprofit dedicated to helping families whose mothers have breast cancer and whose children have autism; Derek's Dreams, a foundation for children with Ataxia Telangiectasia, and the St. Jude's Foundation.
Bonora and Greco started their walk walking in California on June 1 and have endured 22-hour days of walking, blisters and sore knees on their journey back to Nutley.
"I'm just relieved to have them home," said Joanne Cocchiola, the mayor of Nutley, who walked the final 22 miles with the pair.
The men traversed the country without a support car, preferring instead to carry their supplies in a Jeep baby stroller.
Bonora has not cut his hair since graduating from college in May, and he holds it back with a headband. The pair only trimmed their beards once they got "too itchy."
To make the trip possible, the men relied on discounted hotel rates and the kindness of strangers. Mayors and concerned citizens along the route offered them shelter.
After not eating fast food for five years, the duo consumed McDonald's and Burger King almost daily, because the franchises were sometimes "the only restaurant in town."
But despite indulging in a fair number of Big Macs, Bonora and Greco both shed around 20 pounds.
Meeting cancer survivors along the way helped keep the duo inspired as they coped with their exhaustion, Greco said.
Both men wore black silicone wrist bands with Coast to Coast for a Cure written in pink to remind them why they kept walking.
Along the way, the pair encountered a few skeptics and naysayers.
People usually made "Forrest Gump" jokes, referring to a movie in which the title character runs across America.
"Yeah, we get those jokes all the time," Bonora said. He rolled his eyes before adding: "But I tell people, 'That was a movie! We did this for real.'"

Les Carptenter of Yahoo! Sports thinks Manning should take his health, his legacy and his lasting impression on the city and retire no matter how hard it may be:
Maybe the competitive side of Manning refuses to let him leave the game behind. Players, no matter how beaten or bandaged, always believe they have something to offer simply because of their presence. The Redskins and Dolphins weren't very good last year but superstar players (upon joining such organizations) are always sure the team just needed them and the leadership they brought. Usually this doesn't turn out to be the case, and the last thing the team needed was a battered, old player telling everyone how to do their job.
But here goes Peyton Manning, bright and funny with a future ahead as a broadcaster or executive or whatever he wants to be, opening himself up to a greater injury, to a worse post-football life, destroying something that most modern-day players are unable to claim: the fact he made one city his home.

I have not even read the god damned "Cathedral and Bazaar" book. But I
have read The Mythical Man Month and anything by Kernighan (and the
rest of the 1127 gang) I could find anywhere, including things like:
"Design and build software, even operating systems, to be tried early,
ideally within weeks."
-- The Bell System Technical Journal. Bell Laboratories. M. D. McIlroy,
E. N. Pinson, and B. A. Tague. "Unix Time-Sharing System Forward" 1978.
57 (6, part 2). p. 1902.
It is beyond me how anyone expects things to be "tried early" if the
code remains locked up who knows where for years. The "release early,
release often" open source mantra trivially follows from this
In any case, it is clear that no matter how much we hate open source
and open source projects, Plan 9 needs an open source community if it
is going to survive, and if we continue to display total contempt even
towards its most basic practices Plan 9 will continue to be ignored by
the open source community and will wither and die (if it is not dead

Another V8 BBQ, 9mm semi-automatic-styled remote control and boombox sneakers
August 16, 2005 Our Hemi-engined gadget article got a lot of response, including a company that really does make V8 snowblowers and this remarkable contraption – the "Frontgating Griller." This amazing lean, mean, no-stick grilling machine will feed a family of 40 heated by your truck's own engine block. Specially designed grooves channel brat juices and burger grease into the bumper trough for easy cleanup or you can convert your engine to biodiesel and reuse all that succulent fat to fuel your reformed eco-unfriendly gas-guzzler.
We're sorry to say that the Frontgating Griller isn't a real machine – it's only a concept. It came from this month's Sync Magazine – a print magazine all about Stuff for a man's life. Indeed, it's not always in print only – this month the magazine is ALL online – and they have teamed up with the folks from design house Leisure Design who have designed everything from the Gentra VersaPure DNA Purification Unitthrough the Yerfdog off-road go kart in real life, to create some fabby concept products such as the Universal Firearm remote and the Boombox sneaker.
Sync is definitely worth a look.

The up-and-comer, a former NCAA champ at the University of Michigan, cracked the men's Top 20 last year, thanks to a rocket serve and a rocklike physique. Says tennis writer and TV commentator Bud Collins: "He's a young Sidney Poitier. All the ladies are crazy about his quads. He's the Quad-Squad guy."
Maybe so, but the Michigan-raised Washington doesn't groom to please. "If I shave, it's a look," he says, "and if that doesn't do it, too bad." With his gaze fixed on No. 1, Washington, who lives near Jacksonville, Fla., and has a "semiserious" girlfriend, works out at the gym, runs for 2 hours and then practices 4 hours a day. No wonder his quads ripple. "They're kinda defined," he concedes. Yeah, and the Atlantic Ocean is kinda wet.

Beta have made a host of detail changes for the 2008 model.
1. New front fork settings for improved sensitivity when absorbing bumps and making acrobatic manoeuvers easier.
2. New dedicated rear shock specially developed to suit the power delivery of the 4 stroke engine.
3. New electric fuel tap. Increased reliability and easier access.
4. New hot start knob. It has been shifted from the lever to underneath the inlet manifold.
5. New pressure cast engine casings.
6. New outer clutch cover held on by 5 bolts rather than 4 for a better seal.
7. New exhaust pipe now with 1mm thick tubing.
8. New clutch cover with the addition of lateral grooves to facilitate easier removal.
1. New Keihin 28mm carburettor - produces more immediate and lively response off the bottom. Also a marked increase in power in the mid and upper rev range.
2. New crankcases which has reduced the volume to increase crankcase compression. This provides smoother engine response at low revs.
3. New cylinder design provides more torque.
4. New main bearings and crankcase seals to provide greater reliability and reduced engine friction.
5. New larger and longer inlet manifold for better response at low revs and improved feel.
6. New shock absorber and front fork settings for greater stability and responsiveness to bumps and rider input to facilitate acrobatic manoeuvres.
7. New single chamber central exhaust on the Works replica 270cc bikes for a noticeable increase in power and smoothness.
Go to http://www.r2wtrials.co.uk/html_files/beta4t.html
Betamotor are producing very limited numbers for 2007. These bikes will be used for testing before full production in 2008. This will ensure that the bikes are right before being released to the general public. Betamotor SpA are allowing Beta Racing to have one bike for demonstration purposes only.
In the world of motorcycling there is now no getting away from problems connected with the environmental impact of emissions, and the corresponding restrictions. A direct consequence of this is the progressive shift from 2-stroke to 4-stroke engines, which over the last few years has also started to affect the off-road sector. The trial has been the last bastion of the 2-stroke because of the engine's undisputed capacity to combine lightness, compactness and torque right from low revs, but it has recently seen the appearance of 4-stroke motors, which are however often derived from other applications (principally motocross). Beta, with its long tradition of specialising in trials, now introduces the first 4-stroke engine designed, developed and dedicated entirely to trials. The all-new 250cc 4-stroke engine will power the new REV and will stand side by side with the traditional 2-stroke configuration, the tried and trusted warhorse of the Beta range.
Main features:> Lightness, compactness and reliability. The designers have devoted their main efforts to containing weight and dimensions. The result is a power unit with characteristics as similar as possible to those of the Beta 2-strokes of the last few years. With a weight of only 23 kg, the new engine compares favourably with the 2-stroke of the same capacity. This lightness and compactness, however, has been achieved without compromising the design brief, which was to create a modern 4-stroke engine delivering the highest standards of reliability.> Lubrication. Lubrication is taken care of by two separate oilpumps. This leads to an increase in the overall efficiency of the oil circuit. The output pump picks up oil from the gearbox area and delivers it to the head and barrel, crank and conrod. The second or scavenge pump returns it to the gearbox to restart the cycle. This dual circuit, as well as the number of oil jets in crucial positions and the sheer quantity of oil in the system, ensures optimum circulation and improved cooling of the parts involved in combustion, and this results in an increase in the mechanical reliability of the engine.> Controlled pressure. The reliability of the lubrication circuit is ensured by a maximum pressure valve, located immediately after the output oil pump. This valve monitors oil flow, and if the pressure exceeds 3.5 bar the valve opens to reduce the flow. The way the valve operates also allows the oil pressure to be regulated on the basis of its density in such a way as to ensure optimum lubrication in all running conditions (for example, at startup as opposed to when hot).> Complex ramifications of the oil system. The lubrication circuit supplying the new 4-stroke engine makes use of a series of steel pipes built into the engine castings themselves (the output pipes are in the right-hand crankcase, the scavenge pipes in the left). This solution enables the motor to be made more compact and eliminates the need for external oilpipes.> Dedicated trials gearbox. A huge amount of work was invested in the design of the gearbox, developed from scratch specifically for this discipline. It is a 5-speed box for 100% trials use: The 1st, 2nd and 3rd are designed for section riding and negotiating obstacles. The 4th and 5th are intended for use in moving between sections. In deciding the dimensions of the gearbox, the main objective was the maximum possible weight saving, but generous safety factors were still applied so that lightness was not achieved at the cost of reliability. Increased reliability was also obtained by the use of suitably positioned oil jets to provide continuous optimal lubrication to the gearbox. The gearbox is also capable of potential further development by the addition of a sixth gear in future applications.> Better contact. It is a well-known fact that lubrication of the camshaft and of the cam-follower surfaces of the rockers is often critical. To eliminate the consequent wear problems and to increase the general reliability of the timing system on the new 4-stroke, the camshaft is housed in ball bearings. In the same way, the traditional cam-follower surfaces of the rockers have been replaced by roller bearings, which improve contact with the camshaft. > Designed to grow. While the strength of the new 4-stroke engine consists in the design work which went into equipping it for trials, it was also developed with a view to being able to give birth to a series of motors for the twin sport of mountain riding. From the same base unit, it will be possible to derive 250 and 400cc motors which, with suitable modifications (6-speed box, balancer shaft, EFI and electric start), will power a new generation of modern mountain bikes.> Quietness. The new 4-stroke engine is exceptionally quiet, both in terms of mechanical noise and of gas dynamics, setting new standards for 4-stroke competition. Low environmental impact does not just mean reduction of harmful emissions. It also concerns the general quietness of the vehicle, a quality which all trials riders appreciate as they journey into nature.> Rider-friendliness and feel. Much has been written about how trials changes the rider's attitude to the bike and the experience and sensations of riding. The team which designed and tested the new REV 4T worked hard to preserve the same feeling of confidence which is universally agreed to be a feature of the way the 2T behaves, the same perception of immediacy and symbiosis between rider and machine. A significant example of this is the work which went into the carburettor and throttle control: the result of this development work is a perfect dialogue between bike and rider. Each time the throttle is opened it transmits exactly the expected response to the rider, a sensation of immediacy and oneness with the machine which has never before been experienced on a 4-stroke trials bike. > Low minimum revs. Anyone who rides trials appreciates the value of a well-calibrated lower end to the rev range: in the sections, the detailed movements, the split-seconds of reflection before tackling an obstacle, require the ability to pause at tickover with a minimum of movement. When the moment comes to open the throttle, the well-thought-out carburation of the new REV 4T ensures a full and smooth power delivery, with no holding-back or holes in the rev range.> Balance. Important design work was also done on the engine-to-frame mounting points. The engine is secured to the main beam of the frame by drop-arms, and it is positioned in such a way as to reduce to a minimum the vibrations transmitted to the rider, thereby increasing riding pleasure.> High centre of gravity. The centre of gravity of the new REV 4T has been moved noticeably higher so as to offer the rider maximum handling feel for trials riding. The new overall weight distribution instils more confidence when negotiating obstacles.

While in Europe competing in the TDN I was able to have a short ride on the new 2007 Beta REV3. The factory had loaned me a factory prepared '06 270 Beta for the TDN which was awesome. With the factory mods the bike was awesome. The comparison between the '06 and the new '07 was really interesting.
For 2007 the factory has produced an all new frame. The top frame rails are much smaller and the seat height is much lower. The new tapered bars are super strong and have a different bend. The bike feels much smaller and much more comfortable. It was easier to balance and the way it transmits power to the ground is awesome. The power delivery is much smoother and the top end is unbelievable. The motor runs much smoother.
The brakes and clutch feel the same. The rear brake lever is new and much better tucked in. My boots don't rub on the back of the lever.
While I was there I was able to confirm prices with the factory. Only the 250 and 270 have been increased in price by $100.
New prices are:
250 & 270cc $8600200cc $8500125cc $7990REV80 $5500MiniTrial50 $2800
The new engine features a lighter better balanced crankshaft as well as lighter primary gears, starter gears and starter drive. These are designed to make the engine lighter and more responsive. The bike is approximately 2 Kg lighter.
Beta has developed a new frame and associated cycle parts. The major modifications are:
1. Lower seat height by 20mm. Steering geometry is the same.2. New front and rear fenders.3. New tank cover and air inlets in the steering head area.4. New stronger tapered handlebars.5. New design upper fork yoke.6. New design lower fork yoke with 3 screws securing the front forks.7. New aluminium footrest brackets.8. New brake discs with reduced thickness.9. Wheel hubs with machined outer diameters.10. New muffler cover design.11. Exciting new colours and graphics.
The factory also have introduced a full range of performance engine parts to turn the 250/270 into a "factory tuned" competition machine.
1. High compression cylinder head for increased horsepower.2. Thinner base gasket to increase torque at low revs.3. Uprated central muffler for increased power, revs and engine acceleration.4. Front exhaust pipe with reduced weight – a saving of 300 grams.5. Clutch slave cylinder body with a 27 mm piston which gives better clutch feel for aggressive riders tackling big obstacles from a standing start.6. Carburettor float chamber extension so the main jet always has fuel even under the most extreme conditions.
The factory has also made available a 750 gram bolt on flywheel weight to smooth engine response creating a more linear power delivery to help find traction in the slipperiest of conditions.
For the REV80 a clutch kit to provide smoother and more efficient clutch action designed for the most severe sections. A longer rear shock to provide better traction in severe conditions.
First details including pictures have been released by Betamotor Italy. A new frame with altered steering head angle and lower footpeg mounts designed to make the bikes easier to steer and balance. Many detail changes have been made including major revisions to the porting on the barrel together with further refinements to the ignition advance curve. Also front and rear suspension settings are altered.These changes were made to ensure the '06 Beta is even easier to ride. Better traction, better power delivery especially designed to make the bike more docile and smoother at low revs.100% COMPETITIONBeta is the only Italian make with a presence in trials competitions at world level, and it is the serious attention which Beta pays to the sport that has made the Tuscan factory a major player in the important developmental advances which have marked its history: from the adoption of the monoshock in the early eighties (TR32), through the extreme weight reduction of the Zero, to the futuristic aluminium frame of today (Rev-3). This continuous innovation has enabled Beta, in addition to writing the some of the basic pages in the history of this sport, to win seven outdoor world championships.Drawing its strength from this solid tradition, the Rev-3, which is now a force to be reckoned with in world competition, is now further enhanced with new details and technical solutions which confirm its standing at the head of its class.With a full six years' history behind it, the new Rev-3 is offered to trials competitors and enthusiasts with the benefit of a series of changes aimed at improving its performance yet again, with a further reduction in weight and increase in precision of response in extreme conditions.DesignStaying with the tradition of marking each year's release with a new colour scheme, this year's Rev-3 makes its debut with an even more dynamic and innovative look.Beta's trademark red this year takes a step back and is combined with the latest ice grey and opaque black: a brand-new, attention-grabbing combination which, when paired with new graphics, is sure to make an impact on the course. It gives the bike a very aggressive and competitive look, as befits a true thoroughbred, built for fighting it out at the world's most important events. There is the gleam of polished aluminium everywhere, most strikingly on the frame - still unmatched as an example of avant-garde industrial design - but also on the fork-sliders, the swing-arm and the silencer. To complete the effect, the silencer has a carbon-fibre skin and a string of really refined details with titanium anodising which emphasise the overall look, on the handlebar, the rear sprocket and the monoshock body.EngineUniversally acknowledged as one of the most reliable of trials engines, the heart of the new Rev-3 now has even better performance and more capacity to amaze. If last year's focus was mainly on reducing weight, this year, in addition to pursuing that goal, the Beta engine has benefited from important modifications aimed at further improving its efficiency. In line with the alterations to last year's model, this year brings further refinements to the ignition advance curve, which have allowed output in transient conditions to be optimised. The porting design is also new: a further modification, which has allowed power delivery at low speeds to be improved and ensured better combustion. These are all changes which work in the direction of allowing the power plant, which drives the Rev-3 to give its best in the trials 3000-4000 rpm rev range, where the maximum torque is usually delivered - and to do it in a way that is even more balanced and precise than in the past. This precision in power delivery allows the most awkward sections to be negotiated more cleanly and safely.Finally, the power plant of the new Rev-3 is built in compliance with the acoustic and atmospheric pollution provisions laid down in the Euro 2 regulations.The new Rev-3 is available this year in four capacities: 125, 200, 250 and 270 cc.FrameThe frame is perhaps one of the most important and special parts of the Rev-3, and one that clearly distinguishes it from the products of the competition. It is a classic example of the combination of a high degree of functionality with exceptional aesthetic value. The basic structure, which is well-known and admired by all the sport's enthusiasts, is a double-beam aluminium frame containing the fuel tank (3.2 litres, one of which is reserve). The Rev-3 frame has the strength and durability to guarantee being able to cope with the most severe stresses in racing, yet it is built to really slender dimensions, which perform the miracle of combining high structural rigidity and strikingly low weight. The tank has a natural surface treatment with large areas of visible welds, which enhance it by highlighting the distinctiveness of the finish. The extremely small aluminium alloy filler cap completes the tank and is characterised by special ribbing which makes it easy to open and close. Immediately above the fuel tank cap is the characteristic cable duct rubber which, as its name suggests, allows the throttle, clutch and electrical cables to be channelled into a single duct running vertically through the tank/frame, with obvious advantages in terms of dimensions and clearance. This has the advantage of leaving the handlebars free of obstructions and reducing the likelihood of getting tangled in bushes and undergrowth. The front of the tank/frame covers and protects the electronic engine control unit, while the bottom has an extremely useful recess, which facilitates access to the spark plug.In keeping with the principle of combining function and design, the front frame not only combine attractively with the rest of the structure, they support the liquid-cooling radiator and the gravel guard which, in this new edition of the Rev-3 has newly designed engine rubber protection that is even more functional and above all, lighter.Although it always was under control, this year the weight of the new Rev-3 has been reduced still further: it weighs 485 grammes less, thanks to the adoption of the new brake system. Discs, master cylinders and calipers - developed specially for this model - boast a further weight reduction and greater feel and modulation in the response.The Rev-3's front end this year sports even newer and higher-performance forks, with 38 mm stanchions and a new damper valve to ensure a more progressive and homogeneous response. The effect is completed by TINALOX surface treatment on the fork legs. This treatment, which is applied by Physical Vapour Deposition (PVD), a surface coating process, besides giving the assembly a highly competitive look thanks to the aggressive colour scheme in gloss black, improves sliding characteristics and responsiveness and triples component hardness. Adjustment for preload and rebound damping, located at the top of the legs, allows fine and precise calibration of the forks. The heart of the new forks is also lighter and more sophisticated. The stanchions are solidly clamped in triangular aluminium yokes mounted on the steering stem to ensure maximum durability and riding precision.On the back end, the outstanding feature is the new shock absorber, which now benefits from a revised setup, which provides a more effective and sensitive response. Another feature of the body of the shock absorber is the coaxially mounted compensating reservoir and a series of parts in titanium anodised aluminium, which increases its aesthetic impact. The final touch is the hydraulic rebound adjustment, which allows the rider to set the suspension according to personal riding preference.
At Beta we have always focused on what gets the very young excited. We make a point of believing in new talent and training the champions of the future. When we say we are interested in the progress of young riders, these are not just words: we back them up with action. Our factory in Tuscany is one of the few companies which offers a complete range of trials bikes even for the youngest riders - from those who are making their first forays into this world of thrills and spills to those with a bit of experience behind them who want to make further progress.The trials line-up for very young riders is made up of three models:a minitrial powered by a single-speed air-cooled single cylinder. This is a simple vehicle, light but robust, for having fun while overcoming the first obstacles. With Ř30 mm forks, a monoshock and a colour scheme to match the Rev-3, this little bike has ingredients which recall the grown-up bikes from close up. The brisk and lively engine allows the beginner to tackle elementary acrobatics, while robust drum brakes ensure the necessary safety.For those in the next age bracket, even more fun is provided by the little Rev-50, a real Rev but on a smaller scale. With its four-speed water-cooled 50 cc engine, it allows the game to begin in earnest, tackling obstacles and sections with an almost adult logic. It has hydraulically-damped Ř33 mm forks, and a hydraulic monoshock with adjustable spring preload. A Ř175 mm brake disc at the front and Ř150 mm disc on the rear, both equipped with twin-piston calipers, complete the technical line-up. The colour scheme, the same as the Rev-3's, with its aggressive mix of red, grey and opaque black, makes even the youngest riders feel like great champions.The Rev-80 represents the final stage before mounting a full-size Rev-3. Its steel frame is laid out for optimising weight and dimensions, so as to offer the young trials rider a manageable bike which inspires confidence and is easy to ride. But the jewel in the crown of this bike is the engine: a six-speed water-cooled 80 cc engine with outstanding power delivery and torque. The power plant performs crisply and effectively right from the bottom of the rev range and contributes to transmitting that feeling of sureness and confidence which has always distinguished the Rev-80 from the competition. Not just a scaled-down trials bike, then, but a properly thought-out trials machine, made to measure for the needs of its young riders. After all, they are hopefully the champions of tomorrow - or maybe simply free spirits who have grown up with a sport where tenacity and intelligence in tackling difficulties are the most important values.PRICES FOR 2006• REV3 200/250/270cc $8500• REV3 125cc $7990• REV80 80cc $5500• REV50 50cc $4600• MiniTrial50 50cc $2800

According to Indianapolis TV station WTHR, any videos that would show claims of illegal or inhumane treatment of animals – videos which are most often shot secretly – would become illegal under the new bill.
"The videos, often shot with undercover cameras, lead to changes and highlight serious concerns about the health of the food we eat," the station said in its online report.

SLAPPIN' TO THE OLDIES: Don't even think about stepping into the ring with exercise guru Richard Simmons. On Wednesday the "Sweatin' to the Oldies" king went head-to-head with an ultimate cage fighter at Phoenix's Sky Harbor Airport after the man made a crack about Simmons's classic fitness videos. The 6'2", 250-lb. fighter, whose name was not released, pointed out Simmons and suggested that people in line start exercising. At that point, Simmons allegedly approached the man and slapped him. According to reports, Simmons told him, "You shouldn't make fun of people who have issues." Simmons was cited by police and then allowed to leave on his flight.
BOBBY'S JAIL PING-PONG: It was a week of musical jail cells and courtrooms for R&B singer Bobby Brown. On Tuesday, the husband of Whitney Houston was freed from the remaining days of a two-month sentence in Georgia so that he could face a separate charge in Massachusetts regarding child-support money for two children Brown has from a previous relationship. When Brown's lawyer argued that he could not pay the more than $60,000 in back support, a judge sentenced Brown to 90 days in jail, where he spent Wednesday night. By Thursday, the money was paid and Brown was released, leading him to characterize the whole situation as a "misunderstanding." Meanwhile, Houston, who had checked herself into a month-long drug-treatment facility, left the program after five days.
BUCK STOPS HERE: Life seems to be one wild ride for Paris Hilton. On March 19 while filming a segment for the second season of the FOX reality show "The Simple Life" in Florida, Hilton was reportedly thrown from a horse. The hotel heiress, 23, was flown to a hospital where it was determined that she did not have any major injuries. Nonetheless, a spokesman for the network said they wanted to make certain the rising star was not hurt at all. "Whenever you're dealing with talent, you always want to be extra careful," he said.
BILLY BOB SPEAKS: It seems the split between Billy Bob Thornton and Angelina Jolie in 2003 is as much a mystery to them as it is to the rest of the world. Despite rumors of infidelity on the part of Thornton, the 47-year-old actor tells GQ magazine that he never cheated on Jolie. "That was the rumor but that was never it," he said. Thornton said he thought the marriage broke down when the two apparently were headed in different personal directions. When Jolie was previously asked what happened with Thornton, she replied, "I'd love to know."
