"There's something really great about directing," Affleck, 35, tells Details magazine. "If you don't like this movie, I'm the guy to see. I'm the guy to criticize."
But he's betting that critics – and audiences – will like the movie and that it will help him get out of a rut that included some high-profile flops and an equally high-profile romance with Jennifer Lopez.
"It was probably bad for my career," he said of his dating the singer from 2002 to 2004.
"What happens in this sort of bleed-over from the tabloids across your movie work," he said. "I ended up in an unfortunate crosshair position where I was in a relationship and [the media] mostly lied and inflated a bunch of salacious stuff for the sake of selling magazines. And I paid a certain price for that. Then, in concert with some movies that didn't work ..."
"I feel like [Gone Baby Gone] is a linchpin for my life. My career," says the husband of actress Jennifer Garner and father of Violet, 2. "I have a lot riding on it. I want it to work. Badly. I mean, a s----- movie comes out on 2,800 screens? I've been there and it's embarrassing."
As for his future, Affleck is clearly committed to his family life – and staying out of the media spotlight.
"I'd be surprised if I am still living [in Los Angeles] in a couple years," he claims. "Professionally it would be difficult. But that's not as important as the other thing."

The documentary, 'Train to Nowhere; Inside an Immigrant Death Investigation', offers an honest but compassionate look at the deaths of the eleven undocumented immigrants in 2002, found in a rail freight car in Denison, Iowa. The documentary breaks free of the standard immigration story in examining the case from various viewpoints: that of the immigration agent, the brother of a victim from Guatemala, and a one-time train conductor imprisoned for working with the smugglers.
Join author Colleen Krantz for this presentation and discussion that will explore this complex issue.

Against War with Iraq: An Anti-war Primerby Barbara Olshansky Michael Ratner Jennie Green
Despite public outcry at home and international opposition abroad, the Bush Administration deployed troops and invested millions in preparation for a massive military assault on Iraq. In this Open Media Series special edition, three legal scholars from the Center for Constitutional Rights argue persuasively that the looming war against Iraq is both unnecessary for national security, and illegal. Against War with Iraq describes the high cost of the US war in Iraq in terms of human life, as well as the economic and political havoc it will trigger. A timely and much needed anti-war primer, Against War with Iraq contains the core facts and analysis needed to understand the issues and become an effective advocate against hawkish U.S. foreign policy.

Thean Hou Temple History
The original Thean Hou Temple, located in Jalan Sultan, Kuala Lumpur was relocated here in 1987.
It is considered to be one of the largest and most visited holy places in Malaysia. The decorative beams, spectacular roofs, domed ceiling, calligraphic couplets, murals and elaborate embellishments reflect the features of Chinese architectural beauty in Malaysia.
The impressive architecture has made it one of the more popular Kuala Lumpur Attractions.
Architecture of the Thean Hou Temple
Dragons feature prominently in this temple. It was the most revered of animals during ancient times and is symbolic of life. It is a sign of vigilance, strength and goodness.
The Thean Hou Temple has 4 levels:
- Top Level - Main Temple Hall where religious and cultural activities are held regularly
- Level 3 - marriage registration and administrative offices
- Level 2 - banquet hall where Chinese wedding dinners are commonly held
- Level 1 - souvenir shops and food court
Main Prayer Hall
The temple is on the top floor. Here you'll be amazed by the dragon-inspired columns and intricate rooftops. You will be able to enjoy a good panoramic view of the Kuala Lumpur skyline.
The Goddess Thean Hou is flanked by the Mazu (Goddess of the Waterfront) on her right, and the Goddess of Mercy (Guan In) on her left. These are the 3 principal deities of the Thean Hou Temple.
The Hainanese were traditionally fishermen and sailors. They prayed to and worshiped Tian Hou for safety and protection while they were at sea. This practice has continued even though their community in KL no longer goes out to sea. The people coming to this temple for worship are from all cross sections of the local Chinese population.
Functions of Thean Hou Temple
The temple is also functions as a marriage registration centre. And there is also a very popular hall that is often used for Chinese wedding dinners.
There are Chinese Medicinal Herbs Garden, a Wishing Well as well as a Tortoise Pond in the temple grounds.
In the small garden at the front of the temple are interesting statues of Guan Yin and the Three Wise Men.
Three Wise Men
- The God of Longevity, he holds a staff and a peach
- The God of Wealth, he holds a scepter sword
- The God of Happiness and Prosperity, he holds a child
There is also a collection of sculptures that represents of the 12 animals of Chinese zodiac.
You may take photographs here, but do remember to leave your footwear at the steps before entering the prayer hall.
Cultural Events at Thean Hou Temple
Apart from being a place of worship, the Thean Hou temple also functions as a place for cultural activities.
- Among them are the grand birthday celebrations for
- Thean Hou Goddess
- Kuan Yin and the
- Goddess of the Waterfront
- Dharma Prayers
- Wesak Day
- Mooncake Festival and
- the 15-day Chinese New Year celebration.
DIY Fortune Telling
You can have your fortune told at the prayer hall. There are fortune telling contraptions where you can have your fortune predicted.
Each contraption consists of a cylindrical container with small drawers around it.
Numbered sticks are placed in the container.
You will need to shuffle the sticks while clearing your mind. Then grab the whole bundle of sticks and drop them back into the container. The stick that sticks out carries your fortune. You then match the number on the stick with the appropriate drawer. Each drawer contains slips of paper with your fortune told in Chinese and English.
If you like, you may place a donation into the boxes that are available in the prayer hall. Your contributions will help towards the maintenance of the temple.
Legend of Mazu
Lin Moniang was born in 960 (during the early Northern Song Dynasty) as the seventh daughter of Lin Yuan on Meizhou Island, Fujian. The legend tells that she did not cry when she was born, and thus her given name means "Silent Girl." She was thought to be an excellent swimmer.
She stands on the shore to guide fishing boats home, even in the most dangerous and harshest of weather.
Lin Moniang's father and brothers were fishermen. One day, while they were out at sea, there was a terrible storm. Her family had feared for the worst.
In the midst of this storm, she fell into a trance while praying for the lives of her father and brothers. When Moniang's mother tried to wake her, she diverted Moniang's attention, causing her to drop her brother, who then drowned. When Moniang's father returned after the storm, he told the villages about the miracle that had happened.
After her death, families of many fishermen and sailors began to pray to her in honor of her acts of courage in trying to save those at sea. Much of her popularity in comparison to other sea deities resulted from her role as a compassionate motherly protector.
Mazu is usually depicted together with two guardian Generals known as "1000 Miles Eye" and "With-the-Wind Ear". They are said to have been two monsters whom Mazu was able to subdue. They in turn became her loyal guardians.
Starting from Fujian, the worship of Mazu spread to the neighboring coastal provinces of Zhejiang and Guangdong, and thence to all coastal areas of mainland China. With emigration in the 19th and 20th centuries, it further spread to Taiwan, Vietnam, Japan and South East Asia.
The role of Mazu as goddess of the seas ensured that newly arrived immigrants often erected temples to her first, to give thanks for arriving safely. Today there are about 1,500 Mazu temples around the world.

Why do the general partners shares do so much better than the limited partners units ? ie. ETE NRGP XTXCI.. An explanation or reference to a prior post would be appreciated... Thanks.
GPs tend to outperform MLPs because of the incentive distribution rights (IDRs). In the "high splits" the GP gets 50% of the incremental distributable cash flow with the other half going to the MLP. So, think about it. The MLP is putting up 100% of the incremental investment capital and getting 50% of the incremental cash flow. The GP is putting up no capital and getting a 50% carried interest in the upside of the MLP.
Thanks for the reply. As I wasn't quick enough to get XTXI I'm trying to look at ETP and ETE. It looks to me that it just comes down to the number of shares involved.Roughly speaking there are about 110M shares of ETP and 140M of ETE. Calculating on the 50% distribution and 33% ownership of ETP, ETE looks to get about $ 1 for ever $ 1 paid by ETP. Does that sound right ??? What am I missing ??
Actually the GP puts up 2% of the equity, so if they finance it 50% equity and 50% debt, the GP must put up 1% of the total purchase price.
The short answer is leveraged. Gps are a leveraged play on the MLPs. You can have the (hopefully) consistent income growth of the MLPs or lower income now and faster dividend growth with the GPs. Of course what the price per share does is anybody's guess as the GPs are getting pretty highly valued with the exception of MWP. To learn the concepts, go back on this board and MWP and read the posts by RRB1981. That will get you started.
The GP doesn't necessarily always do better than the LP. Paste the link below in your address window. It's a comparison of KMI and KMP. Their performance is nearly identical.finance.yahoo.com/q/bc?t=my&s=KMI&l=on&z=m&q=l&c=kmp

Arundel Mills is a mall located in Hanover, Maryland (south of Baltimore, near BWI Airport) and is owned by Simon Property Group. With its 1,630,000 sq ft (151,000 m2) GLA, it is the largest mall in the state of Maryland. The mall is located at the intersection of Maryland Route 100 and the Baltimore-Washington Parkway (Maryland Route 295) in northwestern Anne Arundel County (hence the name "Arundel" Mills).
Arundel Mills opened in November 2000. It is the first enclosed mall to feature a Medieval Times dinner theater.[1] In addition to 17 large anchor stores, Arundel Mills also features a Dave & Buster's, Maryland Live! Casino, and an Egyptian-themed 24-screen megaplex theater. The movie theater was the only outlet of its Muvico chain in the state of Maryland before being sold to Cinemark in March 2009.[2]
The mall's interior layout features a "racetrack" design or, more noticeably, the outline of a boat. Mall sponsors are Comcast, Discover Card, and Coca-Cola. It was formerly sponsored by Toyota and "The Baltimore Sun". Fairly recent moderate renovations around the mall including the removal of Toyota decals and a large collage of the Sun's biggest front page stories imply that neither are sponsors any longer. Arundel Mills has over 225 stores.[3]
Mall neighborhoods[edit]
Arundel Mills has 5 distinct neighborhoods with anchors and at least one mall entry. The Neighborhoods are designed after Maryland's culture.
- Charm City Neighborhood 1 – with the Rowhouse entry (2 top pictures), formerly sponsored by Toyota.
- Maryland Scenic Drive Neighborhood 2 – with the Coca-Cola bottle entry leading into the Roundhouse (train station) food court (see top picture), sponsored by Safeway.
- Ocean City Boardwalk Neighborhood 3 – with the Crab entry, Cinemark 24 movie theater entrance and another separate restaurant entry. It's sponsored by Comcast Cable.
- Fashion Avenue Neighborhood 4 – with the Marsh entry, sponsored by Discover Card. This neighborhood has the most apparel stores.
- Boating the Bay Neighborhood 5 – with the Nautical entry, was formerly sponsored by EarthLink.

En lieu of this, all managers on staff were fired and the location underwent rigorous remodeling over the course of 7 months. In June 2016, Johnny Rockets re-opened with an updated exterior, new logo, and all-new management.[citation needed]

Maryland Live! at Arundel Mills (casino)[edit]
|This section contains content that is written like an advertisement. (November 2011) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
After Maryland voters approved slot machine gambling in Maryland in 2008, The Cordish Company planned a slots parlor next to the mall. The proposal for slots at Arundel Mills was on the ballot as a referendum in the November 2010 elections; the referendum passed, and construction began on the casino shortly afterward, with the grand opening of its first phase held on June 6, 2012, at 10 pm.[4] Since full completion in September 2012, Maryland Live! has about 380,000 sq. ft. of floor space[5] and 4,750 gaming slots.[5] Maryland Live! is a free-standing facility, separated from Arundel Mills by the inner mall ring road.[6] Although not directly connected to the mall, the casino is within walking distance of the food court entrance. Maryland Live! includes a 5,000-space parking structure at Arundel Mills with a "smart park" green-and-red-light space availability feature, such as the system used at nearby BWI Airport.[6] Parking is available free of charge during all mall hours for Arundel Mills shoppers.[6]
Maryland Live! includes several dining options, including Bobby's Burger Palace;[7] The Cheesecake Factory;[7] and a Prime Rib steakhouse. The project was to feature the world-famous Baltimore-based Obrycki's Crab House and Seafood Restaurant; however, the restaurant announced in November 2011 that it would not be opening a location there. Instead, Phillips Seafood will open a location at the site.[8] Maryland Live! also has a live music venue operated by Annapolis-based Rams Head.[7] Rams Head Live! includes fixed seating for approximately 300 in a cabaret-style design with several stepped viewing levels of the stage.[7]

Numerous commentators have decried the growth of copyright holder rights in recent decades. Copyright's expansion is widely said to be inimical to copyright's core goals and economic rational. If so, why has that expansion occurred? Without question, there are multiple causes. This essay surveys and critiques a number of them, beginning with the copyright industries' raw political muscle and moving to the rhetorical and theoretical frameworks for expansion.

yeah i thought it was stupid it didnt have a dvd player feature , still getting my wii tho.. :-p
Yeah. Just wondering.
Even though it doesn't say it on the specs page in plain English...
I've done some searcing around, and so far, I find nothing on the subject.
I'm just wondering, you think the Wii will come with DVD compatibility?
EDIT: What the. After looking at a sticky I didn't see 'til now, I see that it won't. But may have an add-on.
Sorry for being a moron!
yeah i thought it was stupid it didnt have a dvd player feature , still getting my wii tho.. :-p
What kid of cheap skate dosent have a dvd player/recorder
Spoiler Alert!

I was into weird games before people knew what they where
@D_Bloke - My inane prattle
i have a dvd player just if the wii had a dvd playing capabilities it would take for one less box in my room heh
Yeah, but does your set-up include a surround sound system or HD TV? If so, then Wii wouldn't have been a good DVD player anyway considering it doesn't have true Dolby Prologic 5.1, nor HDMI. I wouldn't have minded it, considering the wiimote is a remote after all, but my Xbox is better for that anyway.Originally Posted by komio
Since Wii games are on DVDs, Nintendo could potentially send a firmware update to all Wiis, allowing for DVD playback, but that's highly unlikely, at least for quite some time.

Money spend on Wii:

$10 Pre-ordered Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
$100 Xbox console trade in
$339.95 extra paid off
$499.95 Total I'VE PAID IT OFF!
its firmware, it is the software that the system uses and runs off of if im not mistaken, and they can upgrade it anytime if they find bugs or whatnot kinda like the psp did, they had firmware upgrades to use wma files and also use the internet if im not mistaken, but yeahOriginally Posted by Wilko21
it will probably be updated at some point but in all fairness, most people have a dvd player as well as a console, by keeping it out its probably reducing the costs
Yes, my house has a dvd player.
Just not in my room.
I'm not going to go buy a dvd player to place in my room, because there's one just around the corner in the living room ;P
Just saying, because having dvd compatibility would be.. A convinience.
not to dissapointing...I mean just go buy a dvd player at some garage sale or some store!!!

Dee Milliner thinks he is the best cornerback in the NFL.
The Jets defensive back told Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News that there is nobody in the league better than him. Not Richard Sherman. Not Patrick Peterson. Not Joe Haden.
"The best corner in the league? Me. I ain't gonna say that somebody else is better than me."
"I'm not going to say somebody that plays the same position is better than me," Milliner said. "Don't care if they've been in the league 10 years and I've been here five months. That's how it's going to go. I'm the best. I'm not going to say that another man that plays the same position… and say he's better than me? I can't do that."
The Jets selected the Alabama product with No. 9 overall pick in the 2013 draft, hoping to become the dominant corner that Darrelle Revis once was.
Unfortunately, Milliner's rookie season was anything but "the best in the league."
Although he did earn the NFL Defensive Rookie of the Month honor for December, he was benched on three separate occasions, and Pro Football Focus ranked him 87 out of 110 cornerbacks in pass coverage.
A healthy offseason means Milliner will be focused and ready to go come week 1. Can he be one of the top cornerbacks in 2014. It's possible. There is a reason he was taken with one of the top ten picks in the draft.
But Milliner himself is the only person ready to anoint him as the best cornerback in the league.

If you participate in a sport which puts stress on your knees, come to Bernardsville Public Library on Wednesday, May 8 at 7:00 pm when Angelo Scarpati and Zachary Barnard of Optimal Physical Therapy & Performance Institute will discuss the problem of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury and how to prevent it.
Several factors place female athletes at greater risk than male athletes for knee injuries. (Serious knee injuries actually occur two to ten times more frequently in female athletes than male athletes.) During this program, listeners will find out how to reduce the incidence of these injuries through performance exercise training programs.
There is no charge to attend the program, but advance sign-up is requested. Register online at www.bernardsvillelibrary.org and follow the link from Adult Programs, or call the library at 908-766-0118 to sign up.

How to Organize A Block Party
1. Plan the Event.
Your Block Party will be much more successful if you involve others in planning the event. Host a small planning party and invite a wide variety of your neighbors - including those you don't know - to form a Block Party committee. Delegate tasks according to each person's strengths.
The planning committee's first task should be to pick a location, date and time for the event. Typically, block parties are held on a street or cul-de-sac but you might also choose to use a centrally located park or school yard, if you can obtain permission. Schedule the event approximately 4 to 6 weeks in advance. Limiting your event to a 3 to 4 hours time span insures that you will have a more concentrated group of attendees. Plan events for midday in the spring and fall, but wait until evening in the hotter summer months.
Decide how you will fund the event, and assign a member of your committee to act as Treasurer. Regardless of how you fund the party, make certain the treasurer keeps good track of what money is put into the fund and what it is spent on. Left over funds can be saved for next year's Block Party! Your group may decide to take up a collection for funds from among neighbors, or to take contributions in the form of donated food, services, equipment, etc. You may also solicit local businesses to contribute food, drinks and supplies.
When the balloons are brought down and the barbecues are restored to their back yards, sit down with the planning committee and evaluate the event so that next time you'll remember what not to do and what to be sure to do again.
2. Making it Legal.
If you plan to close off a portion of your street or cul-de-sac, you will have to apply for a permit from the Beaumont Police Department – Traffic Division. You must give at least 20 days notice to block off a street. You can contact the Traffic Division at (409) 833-3271.
Making the event a pleasant experience for participants, as well as those who chose not to attend, will not only make your event a success, but may encourage more folks to participate the next time. Be courteous to all of your neighbors by not blocking driveways and by turning down music and lights after 9:00 p.m. Make certain that your committee assigns a clean up crew to pick up all remnants of the fun day – you might even make a game out of picking up by giving rewards to children who bring in the most trash.
3. Getting People There.
Assign members of your planning committee to design and distribute invitations 3 to 4 weeks in advance of the event. Going door-to-door with the invitations adds a personal touch that will help you get more people interested in volunteering for and attending the event. Keep the invitation simple, and remember to include contact names and phone numbers for R.S.V.P.'s and for signing up to bring food or coordinate activities. Let people know if they need to bring their own cooler of beverages, or their own chairs and beach towels.
You may want to place a short reminder notice on doorknobs one week before the Block Party, or, if you want to get notice out earlier than when invitations are ready, use your neighborhood newsletter or dues mailing to ask people to "Save the Date."
4. Feeding Your Guests.
Food is an absolute "MUST" for any large gathering of people. The planning committee should decide how to organize the party food. You may decide to ask people to bring picnic baskets to share with other families; organize a Pot Luck and have people bring foods from different categories (remember that plates, utensils, napkins and drinks should all be categories); plan a "community menu" and assign households to bring specific dishes or beverages; or look into catering the meal. Other creative options include holding a chili or barbeque cook-off, and having kids award prizes to their favorites.
Whatever you do, keep track of how many people will be coming to the event, and stay organized by keeping a list of who's bringing what to the party.
5. Keeping People There - Planning Activities.
Again, a little advanced planning goes a long way, especially when coordinating activities for your participants. Whatever you plan, the following pointers will guarantee fun for everyone:
Plan activities that will get a wide range of neighbors involved – kids, adults, men and women alike. Encourage older kids to help organize games for younger children. Choose games that involve teams and/or groups of people such as sack races, the orange pass, tug of war, relays, water balloon tosses, or watermelon eating contests. Don't over-plan. Use games to get people involved in the early stages of the Block Party and during down times to encourage people to stay. Give folks the opportunity to relax and talk as well. Organize on-going activities to keep younger children busy, such as chalk drawing on the sidewalks, finger painting, kite flying, etc.
Regardless of what you plan for your Block Party, getting a wide variety of people involved in the planning, staying organized, and keeping an open mind will help make the event successful. Remember, it doesn't take a hundred people or even fifty to have a successful event. If your neighbors meet a few new families and get to know each other a little better, you're already beginning to enhance your community. Make the event a positive experience for the entire neighborhood, and you'll be sure to attract even more folks the next time around!

The year: 2074. In a retirement home. IN SPACE. Grandkids Danny and Bella Boo Boo Bot are visiting. "Grandpa Josh," B to the fourth asks, "What was the year 2012 like?" A brief pause. "Well, it's like this," I begin, "do you remember the end of Star Wars Episode XIV?" The grandkids nod vigorously. "It wasn't like that at all." Another longer pause. I continue, "There was no Jedi Jar Jar. No Baby Han Solo fighting Baby Greedo. No 15-minute interlude to salute Lord General Disney." The kids stand. "HAIL DISNEY." They salute. They sit. "There were a lot of dogs in 2012. A LOT. And it was wonderful. Let me show you something."
/opens scrapbook
"This is what 2012 was like…What's this? Oh, that's right: past me left a note explaining that should this conversation ever be used as a framing device, I'm supposed to say that GIFs, already-mentioned memes, and scripted TV show screenshots aren't includ…GET AWAY FROM THAT ROBOT HOOKER, DANNY."
Episode aired before 2012, but this was my favorite article to work on this year. (Via)

Special Stage (Sonic Lost World)
this wiki
|This article or section is out of date. Please update with new information that is confirmed and released.
- For Special Stages in general, see here.
Special Stages are a series of special levels that appear exclusively in Nintendo 3DS version of Sonic Lost World.[1] The Special Stages in this game are loosely based on the ones featured in Sonic the Hedgehog 3 and Sonic & Knuckles, it is also very similar to the ones seen in Knuckles' Chaotix.
The Special Stages takes place in space-like void with floating blue spheres, red spheres, yellow spheres, and rainbow-colored spheres, which the player has to collect within a time limit. While the Chaos Emerald hangs out in the open, it is protected by a force field that remains until the player collects every sphere. Collecting 5 of a certain colored sphere (as rainbow is every color, one doesn't have to make a group of only rainbows with them) makes a magnetic-like field that attracts nearby spheres (or in Multiplayer mode, it can attract items). If the player doesn't maintain this for a certain amount of time or replace the chain with another single-colored chain, the field will disappear. Another item is an electric item that temporarily grants extra reach for the magnetic-like field, and will provide one if necessary. There are also time items, some that increase the time limit, some that decrease it. There are walls in some areas that the player must navigate through. Bumping into one will knock the player back and temporarily stun the player. The player is able to move Sonic through the void by using the gyroscope to direct Sonic and can speed up by boosting.[2]
These Special Stages are featured in the game's multiplayer mode.

Western's Huxley College Speaker Series to Host Justin Yan and Allison Schreuder Jan. 13
Contact: Western Washington University's Huxley College of the Environment at (360) 650-3520.
BELLINGHAM – Justin Yan and Allison Schreuder of Teach for America will present "Providing Science Education to Bridge the Academic Achievement Gap" as part of Western Washington University's Huxley College of the Environment Speaker Series at noon on Friday, Jan. 13 in Academic West room 304 on the Western campus.
The presentation is free and open to the public.
Less than 8 percent of children who grow up in poverty graduate from college. The academic achievement gap between students of low-income versus affluent backgrounds is growing wider still. Teach for America works to end educational inequity by recruiting outstanding college graduates, from all majors, to teach for two years in low-income communities. The nonprofit organization particularly seeks strong math and science majors, to help students in subject areas where performance tends to be weakest.
In their presentation, Schreuder and Yan will discuss the growing socioeconomic academic achievement gap, how Teach for America works to bridge that gap, and opportunities for Western students and the surrounding community to work with Teach for America.
Yan, the Northwest region director of recruitment, is a Teach for America alumni who worked for two years in a 6th grade science classroom in Charlotte, N.C. Schreuder, the Western campus campaign coordinator for Teach for America, is a WWU senior, majoring in Mathematics.
Anyone interested in this topic is encouraged to come and participate; the presentation will include a question-and-answer period. The speaker series is held by Western's Huxley College of the Environment to bring together the environmentally minded community and other interested members of the WWU and Bellingham communities. Speakers address topics of contemporary environmental concern in the region and the world.
For more information, please contact the main office of Huxley College of the Environment, at (360) 650-3520.
Western's Huxley College of the Environment is one of the oldest environmental colleges in the nation and a recognized national leader in producing the next generation of environmental stewards. The College's academic programs reflect a broad view of the physical, biological, social and cultural world. This innovative and interdisciplinary approach makes Huxley unique. The College has earned international recognition for the quality of its programs.

President Barack Obama and the European Union have unloaded on Russian President Vladimir Putin big time this week. He had it coming.
And while there's no guarantee of a positive outcome, the united front against Russian aggression is a welcome development.
On Sunday the United States released photos showing that artillery on Russian soil had fired on Ukrainian territory, more evidence showing that Russia is behind the Ukrainian civil war.
On Monday an international court in The Hague said Russia owes $50 billion to shareholders in Yukos, the oil company it nationalized in 2005. If Russia complies, it will lose a large part of its foreign exchange reserves. If Russia resists, it could lose offshore assets.
Also on Monday, President Obama persuasively accused Russia of illegally testing a long-range cruise missile between 2008 and 2011. The missile is forbidden under a 1987 treaty struck during the fading days of the Cold War, and American defense officials said the United States will probably take compensatory measures to restore the nuclear arms balance in Europe.
President Obama took his time to raise the issue, hoping to preserve a dialogue with Russia on nuclear arms control. But the recent deterioration in American-Russian relations because of Mr. Putin's seizure of Crimea from Ukraine, and his ongoing support for Ukrainian separatists, finally convinced President Obama to act more forcefully.
On Tuesday, that shift was even more fully demonstrated when Mr. Obama joined the European Union in imposing strong new sanctions on the Russian economy. The new measures, a major expansion of ones President Obama put in place shortly before the July 17 downing of Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 over Ukrainian rebel territory, are aimed at several Russian enterprises - banks, a defense firm and the sale of advanced technology to energy firms.
Meanwhile, international aviation experts were still saying Wednesday that they are being denied access to the site of the MH17 crash, where they hope to gather evidence of the cause of its destruction. A consensus of experts point to an advanced Russian anti-aircraft missile controlled by the Ukrainian rebels. Russia's failure to pressure the rebels to cooperate with the investigation and to help secure the site fuels suspicion that it has something to hide.
Ideally, President Putin will respond to this increasing international pressure by agreeing to cooperate with the Yukos shareholders, the Ukrainian government and the international community. Such acquiescence would be a welcome admission that he went too far in seizing Yukos and in grabbing Ukrainian territory.
But Mr. Putin's track record casts serious doubt on that reaction. Instead, there is a real risk that he will feel cornered and lash out. That could include cutting off energy supplies to the EU.
But while some of Mr. Putin's advisers are reportedly urging him to sever all ties to the West and pursue a narrow nationalist course, Russian business interests oppose that reckless option.
President Putin has clearly driven himself and his country into a corner.
Just as clearly, though, President Obama and the EU have sent Mr. Putin - and Russia's powerful business interests - a necessary message of Western resolve.

I hear what your saying, but i'd like for Houston to actually play for a team that had a chance to win a championship and that isn't us.
Jun 10, 2008 5:37 AM EST
Allan Houston, who has been working out with the Phoenix Suns, has revealed to the New York Post that he is still interested in playing next season.
"I've been around New York for a long time now, and I know the passion these fans have for the Knicks - it's unbelievable," said Houston. "I'd love to see that again in New York."
Houston's comeback this year with the Knicks lasted for one preseason game.
What better veteran, leader, and a spot up shooter can find than Houston? No one. We need someone with real 3pt range on this team, I would definitely invite Houston to preseason again and gave him a real chance unlike Isiah.
I hear what your saying, but i'd like for Houston to actually play for a team that had a chance to win a championship and that isn't us.
****, I hope not...
We had this discussion last year...Houston was never a good defender in his prime, does anyone really think he has a chance in hell of guarding ANYBODY at 38 years old??? We need quality shooters, but we don't need them that bad...
In Basketball there will always be a job for a shooter as pure as him. If Allan comes back, I would be fine with that. Bringing him back would be fan service and another sign of closing the book on a certain someone's; who doesn't deserve to have their name mentioned on this site, reign reign of error.
if wally szerbiak can still play on a team...then so can houston...
Aren't we in like a 'rebuilding' stage??? I don't c y we would want Allan Houston...It's not like we're 1 piece away of 'goin all the way' lol We need 2 focus on gettin our young players PT instead of giving it 2 Houston.
And what if we sign Houston & he ends up taking a rookie FA's spot on the roster who we really like (same problem last yr w/ D Nichols), how will u feel then? lol
Allan Houston doesn't have to be a starter, but he can role play like P.J. Brown. I wanted him to join last year but THANK GOD he didn't come here under Isiah, he's another player that deserves to be on a good team to win a championship like KG.I hear what your saying, but i'd like for Houston to actually play for a team that had a chance to win a championship and that isn't us.
F*ck that though what about US? we NY fans need to win too it's been too mother f"n long, the team with the most money not getting it done is an insult to us dedicated fans that have nightmares of this crap we call a team. I don't want my life to end knowing the Knicks got gunned down every playoff or championship attempt.
I would like him as a player coach like JVG had Mark Jackson. But as a fan of his I hope he gets a real shot this time, and makes the most of it. Again he will probably only play ten or so minutes at best, but if we do Draft a shooter ie. Bayless who better than to have around to teach him how to shoot. I would love to see it! Remeber last year his wife had just given birth, and Isiah has never seemed to like him even though they use to play together. But if Donnie cuts him then you have to beleive that Houston may just not have it anymore, but if PJ Brown,Cassel,and Horry can still play at that age their is no reason to think that a player who was better than all three of them can't.
"I'd Rather Melo shoot with 3 men on him than Jefferies shotting wide open"
-Jeff Van Gundy
lol at mayo being a deadly shooter, man this is funny

Hands on with Seashore, an open source image editor
Whether you're looking at its $600 retail price, kitchen-sink-plus feature set or bloated system requirements, for the great majority of people, Photoshop is overkill. Whereas Pixelmater and Acorn are fine products, they aren't free. Seashore is based on GIMP, the open-source Photoshop replacement that's been in continuous development for 15 years.
Like Photoshop, GIMP is great if your needs are complex, system resources plentiful and you need specific plugins, filters, etc. Contrariwise, Seashore's full installed weight is just 15MB and with a couple small images open it occupies only 38MB of RAM.
Underscoring Seashore's compact nature is the fact that I'm writing this review on a Dell Mini 10V Hackintosh with just a 1.6GHz Intel Atom processor, 1GB of RAM and generally pathetic Intel GMA 950 graphics — this app is still quick and responsive.
For Photoshop refugees, there's common functionality missing from Seashore, like the Healing Brush and Save for Web. Further, there are rather limited options and controls vis-a-vis saving images, especially for the increasingly popular .png format.
Still, you do get fast n' easy crop, resize and save, plus gradients, textures and anti-aliasing for both text and brush strokes. And, yes, layers and alpha channel are also in there, as well.
Also to the plus is the availability of a series of video tutorials on YouTube.
And, yes, the price is very right…

In the summer of 2009, I literally winced as I sat at my desk, sifting through four dusty, inch-thick file folders that contained the initial research for my book "Calamity and Courage: Tiffin's Battle During Ohio's Deadly 1913 Flood."
"Do you really want to do this?" I asked myself. The sheer volume of information was so overwhelming, I initially wasn't convinced I could do the story justice. I was acutely aware that the people whom fellow reporter, Nancy Kleinhenz, and I interviewed for The Advertiser-Tribune's flood tab 21 years earlier were long dead. Even so, I had kept written accounts of all of the original interviews. That day, as I again read the first-hand recollections from Catherine Beck, Helen Grill and Charlotte Leimenstoll, I found myself mesmerized by their words.
At that moment, I realized the people who survived that harrowing flood in March 1913 - and the 19 others who perished - deserved to be remembered. The trials, losses and ultimate triumph Tiffinites faced in the wake of the worst natural disaster in Ohio's history was a story that needed to be shared.
Article Photos
The bulk of the next year was spent pouring over diaries, newspaper clippings, oral histories and anything else I could latch onto pertaining to the flood. I'll admit it got a little freaky when I had a recurring dream in which I was walking along Frost Parkway amid the devastation, having lengthy conversations with Irene Strong and Louise Schwaeble - the two women who, along with their children, were marooned in the Standard Garage, just east of the Perry Street bridge.
When a writer gets to that stage, it's time to seek out friends for some desperately needed social time.
Like any major project, the day came when it was time to stop researching, stop writing, publish the book and get on with my life. It wasn't easy to let it go. I always knew there would be stories I somehow missed. It particularly vexed me that I never was able to find out what happened Mary Klingshirn-Hostler. The flood was particularly wicked to her. It took the life of nearly everyone she loved - her mother, nine siblings, her husband and ultimately her baby daughter. I knew Mary had remarried in November 1915, but after that, the trail of her life went cold.
Fact Box
Lisa Swickard is a former reporter for The Advertiser-Tribune and author of books and local history.
Recently, I've learned the rest of Mary's tragic tale. It's difficult to believe, but her life continued to spiral out of control.
The Klingshirn family history provides a dreary account of what happened after she married a Webster Manufacturing employee, Eugene Bolt.
"The couple, having no children, were both employed and lived in an apartment close to the center of Tiffin," it states. "One day when Mary came home from work, she found the furniture gone and learned that her husband had closed out their joint bank account. He left town, leaving her without a thing."
A short time later, Mary left Tiffin and went to live in the Toledo area. According to the Klingshirn history, "Emotionally scared by so much grief, she had a hard time settling down and sought excitement in a 'fast' crowd."
In 1919, it is believed that 31-year-old Mary got into an automobile with some of those fast friends. There was a crash in which the car was instantaneously engulfed in flames. The occupants were burned beyond recognition and were never positively identified. It's probable that's how she met her demise, because the family history states that Mary was never heard from again.
It was a heart-rending ending to a pitifully tragic existence.
Most Tiffinites, however, did persevere. Properties were cleaned, renovated or rebuilt. The river was widened, and a flood wall - that still stands today - was erected. For me, the most satisfying part of the story will always be that the people who experienced the Great Flood of 1913 will continue to live on in the pages of Tiffin's history.

Texas Democratic Party Chairman Gilberto Hinojosa told about 35 of his fellow party members Tuesday they need to motivate their base to get out and vote.
"We shouldn't be losing elections," Hinojosa said during an event Fernando's restaurant, 2740 Westhaven Village. "There are more of us than there are of them."
During his speech, he touted the Democratic Party's stances on health care, voting rights, women's rights, gay rights and labor rights. He derided Republicans' efforts to pass voter ID legislation as discriminatory and criticized budget cuts for public education. He also accused state Republicans of endangering women's access to health care.
The key to winning Democratic majorities in local, state and national elections is to get Hispanics and other minority groups to vote, he said.
"The day that Hispanics go out to vote in the state of Texas, it's all over but the crying," he said. Area Democratic candidates including District 87 state representative candidate Abel Bosquez, Potter County Commissioner Mercy Murguia, Potter County Precinct 2 Constable Morice Jackson and Potter County Precinct 4 Constable candidate Idella Thomas-Jackson attended the event. Bosquez, a former Potter County Democratic chairman, said he has been campaigning in full force across the district, trying to spend time in every town he can, knocking on doors and encouraging residents to vote. Though he lost to the incumbent state Rep. Four Price two years ago, he said he felt better about his chances this time around.
"I'm not done," he said.
Thomas-Jackson, a Potter County deputy and corrections officer, said she is eager to serve her community, and said her work in community service has allowed her to garner support among local voters.
"They're as excited as I am," she said.

The first major car account that ad agencies will be eyeing this year is that of BMW's Mini, according to Advertising Age, an affiliate of Automotive News. Since 2005, the automaker has relied on independent agency Butler Shine Stern & Partners based in Sausalito, Calif. A review process has begun by distributing a request-for-information document to several shops.
The consultant is Hasan & Co. in Raleigh, N.C., the same firm that handled the review the last time too. Mini is assessing which of the agencies will take on the entire scope of work that the BSSP was responsible for.
These include media planning, the campaigns for the national brand as well as the regional and dealer segments, and national and co-op advertising.
However, digital work will be accomplished by Boston-based Beam Interactive and multicultural marketing will be the responsibility of Sanders Wingo. BSSP came in when MDC Partners' CP&B (which handled Mini's account for four years) resigned to handle the Volkswagen of America account.
Notably, VW has switched to Interpublic Group of Cos.' Deutsch, Los Angeles. Mini said that this review won't be centered on performance but rather, it is mandated by the automaker's procurement department.
In a statement, Tom Salkowsky, manager of Mini USA marketing, clarified that BSSP's services were very satisfactory and that Mini is now merely complying with BMW Group corporate purchasing procedures by going to RFP. To cancel any doubts, Salkowsky divulged that BSSP will join in the review.

A 33-year-old man is accused of victimizing three children, and he now faces felony sex charges after his arrest by the Marysville Police Department, officers said Wednesday.
Abel Ramirez-Herrera was taken into custody from a Yuba City KMart parking lot about 8:30 p.m. Monday, according to a brief police statement.
He's accused of committing lewd acts upon a child, and sexual acts with a child younger than 10 years old, officers said.
The sex crimes may have started as early as 2009, police said.
At this point, his victims are three children, according to the news release.
Officers launched their investigation into Ramirez-Herrera last month, after receiving a report from one of the family members of an alleged victim.
Police caught up with Ramirez-Herrera and booked him into the Sutter County Jail.
No further specifics were provided by police.

Yesterday was the 10th Annual Krispy Kreme Challenge. The Krispy Kreme Challenge is a race which raises money for the NC Children's Hospital. This year $200,000 was donated! In the challenge, you run 2.5 miles, eat 12 doughnuts, and then run 2.5 miles to the finish and you must finish in less than a hour. It's a really crazy race with costumes and a really fun atmosphere. People don't take the race too seriously. You can also enter as a Casual runner meaning you don't try to complete the "challenge" and still complete the run but don't eat all the doughnuts and can carry them back with you. This was my 5th consecutive year of taking part in the Krispy Kreme Challenge. I ran the race with Margaret in tow. She is a really good race dog and is very well behaved in the crowds. She loves to run and just focuses on that once we get started. We got a lot of "cute dog" comments while we were running. Proud dog Momma right here!
At the halfway point, you come up to tables full of doughnut boxes with volunteers handing them out. I grabbed my box, found a place to sit, and started eating. I carry my own water in my CamelBak as my first year running, they only handed out those tiny bathroom sized cups of water and it was hard to get to and not nearly enough.
My strategy is to assume 10 minute miles which allows 10 minutes for eating doughnuts. We reached the doughnuts at 8:56 so I knew we had to leave at 9:06 at the latest.
I treated this as a team event and allowed Margaret to indulge in some doughnuts:An oh-so-glamorous selfie:I rarely eat doughnuts as they aren't good for you so I always have a hard time stuffing my face with them as I'd rather take my time and savor the doughnut vs. just trying to eat them fast.
Once we polished off the doughnuts, it was time to run back! This is one of my favorite pictures from the race.The way back is always rough as you are full of doughnuts. It's funny to hear conversations of the runners around you commenting on how crappy they feel. You have to watch out for vomit piles on the way back!
According to the official results, we finished in 59:04 so we just squeezed in under the hour cut off!Mile 1: 8:58
Mile 2: 8:49
.37 of a mile: 3:27
Doughnut eating…Garmin resets and doesn't pick up where I stopped it and starts with a new mile…
Mile 3: 10:44
Mile 4: 9:30
. 41 of a mile in 3:46
Total: 4.78 miles in 45:17
The distance changed from 4 miles to 5 miles last year. In both years, my Garmin has tracked the distance as less than 5 miles so I feel like the course may not be fully accurate. It was supposed to rain Saturday morning and I was not looking forward to running and eating in a cold and wet rain. Luckily, the rain held off so we had a dry run. It was a great Krispy Kreme Challenge per usual and I'm looking forward to next year!
In case your wondering, the person who won finished in a time of 30:07 which includes eating the doughnuts! I cannot fathom running that fast!
When going on a car ride, Margaret loves to stand with her front feet on the console to get a better view. This is our normal car riding situation:Have you competed in any crazy races?

text: Today I picked up my new license plates. Living in OH, it is the law that cars must have both front and rear license plates. Although I see many vehicles, especially luxury brands (Lexus, MB, Cadillac) without front license plates in the area, not sure I want to take a chance. The thought of drilling 2 holes in a perfectly good bumper <shudder> plus the fact it will definitely reduce the look of the front of the car make me quite uneasy. The law is the law so it doesn't matter what I think anyway. Just wondering what are people's thoughts on the impact on MPG? I assume there would be some hit (<1 MPG, 1MPG, more).

Headset Technocel T10
Product summary:
The Technocel T10 Bluetooth headset has a comfortable fit, and easy to press buttons. It is also very affordable.The Technocel T10 has a poor quality, the ear hook on the thick side, and the overall headset has a little bulky.The bottom line: In Technocel T10, of course, very affordable Bluetooth headset, but we believe its poor sound quality should be elsewhere .
See you were looking for all the goods in a series Technocel T10, Technocel is something of a jack of all trades in the mobile phone business from all types of cellular phone batteries and accessories from the affairs of Bluetooth headset. And while his counterparts from other producers, as the distributor, but makes more of its own headset, as Technocel T10. T10 not advanced headset by any means, and we were less satisfied with the quality. Nevertheless, this is one of the most inexpensive set there, at about $ 20.The T10 rather dull design-wise. It's quite bulky, as far as modern suites go, measuring 1 inch wide and 2 inches in length and 0.4 inches thick and looks like a miniature billboard - wide at the top and narrow at the bottom. Right at the front is a square, chrome Multifunction button, then under light LEDs. The button is large enough to press easily, and the LED blinks blue when the headset is activated. The volume rocker is on the right spine and the charger jack on top.Flip headset over and you will find a simple earpiece placed in the ear of a rubber cushion.
This is a very comfortable fit in the ear, even though we wanted to T10 came with other earbud sizes. Ibid flexible ear hook, which can be rotated in size or ear. Ear hook is not optional; you need it to be securely T10. Ear hook on the thick side, so you probably will not be able to wear glasses with a comfortable ear hook on the spot.

Meet the New Babble Travel Bloggerashleymuirbruhn
Hello there! I'm Ashley and I'm very excited to join this team of writers at Babble's new Travel blog! Until recently, I was a book editor at a publishing house in Manhattan, living in a tiny 500-square-foot apartment with my husband and one-year-old son (who slept in the closet), and chronicling a love affair with New York City on my personal blog, Hither & Thither.
Then, this past September, the three of us flew around the world to Bali (where we stopped and spent a month) before relocating to a small University town in Northern California–the very place my husband, Aron, and I met and fell in love as undergraduates. I'm now a freelance writer and editor, and a stay-at-home parent to our son, Hudson.
In addition to blogging for Babble, I continue to write daily on my travel and lifestyle blog, Hither & Thither. There I feature family, design, food, style, New York and California and everything (and everywhere) in between. We share extensive travelogues from family vacations (in fact, Hither & Thither was named the best travel blog for families by Babble!), and make traveling as a family a top priority. But I really believe that the site is, as the name implies, as much about the "here" as the "there"—it's about having an adventure, wherever you are.
And now, I'm looking forward to talking through all the excitement and the preparation, the rewards and the challenges, the anticipation and the hesitation (and all of the crazy gear) that comes with traveling as a family, here, with you on Babble.
I hope you'll follow along!

Ready for some mind blowing consolation? Turns out that, according to Blue Stampede writer Matt Grecco, Andrew Luck outplayed both Peyton Manning and Tom Brady against Baltimore. Given the result (9 total points, no touchdowns), it seems almost impossible … then there's this.
Colts had the best Yards per Drive, going ten yards more per drive than the Ravens allowed this season. In order to hang around they had to do that with the awful field position.
The Colts dominated both the Broncos and Patriots in terms of Time of Possession per Drive, holding the ball for nearly a minute longer per drive than either of the other two teams. A lot has been made of the large number of plays the Ravens Defense has gone up against this postseason, but only one team actually kept them on the field for significant portions of time.
I won't give it all away – nor do I entirely agree with the statement – but it's an intriguing piece, and a nice way to bring up Tom Brady's epic collapse again.

This better not be a retro zelda game.
Via vg247.com
Hurry up dammit.
Miyamoto surprisingly clarifies neither
There's still a sleepless four weeks between us and the new Zelda game for Wii, set to be unveiled at E3. We don't know what it'll look, sound or play like, but a recent interview with Shigeru Miyamoto has revealed it should control more simply than previous Link outings.
For us, it is important to the to optimise gameplay and make the controls easier. We do our best to make the controls player friendly, since Zelda has become complicated.Presumably the inclusion of MotionPlus will go a long way to simplifying these controls: what could be more intuitive than swinging your sword around to slice up some Octoroks?
Miyamoto also continued to tease the "big surprise" between the title that has speculators guessing everything from a first-person adventure to a futuristic Zelda and everything in between.
For us, two things are important: to meet expectations and to surprise people. How we do it this time, I will not reveal.Hopefully the two aren't mutually exclusive, but we look forward to having our expectations met and our people surprised when Nintendo hopefully makes the big reveal on June 15th. Expect as-it-happens coverage from Nintendo Life that day so keep it locked here to find out as soon as this one's unveiled.
This better not be a retro zelda game.

I'm not against the classic zeldas. Im saying that they shouldn't do the same thing they did in metroid: other m, where they mixed the 2d metroid style with the prime series. You end up switching to fps view by using only the wii remote.
The classics are great, but putting retro with the modern together might not be a good idea.
Of course they were probably listening to the song "Take a change on me"

Anyways it is my understanding that Nintendo wanted to make Zelda a super long adventure, in order for them to do that they had to create a battery-backed memory device for the cartridge which would make it the first game to allow great lenght due to its ability to save and play later.
Which games saved before this? I'm curious.
Hmmm. No replies yet?
according to Wikipedia:
"The MMC could use bank-switching, allowing larger games than had been previously possible. They also allowed for battery-powered RAM, which let players save progress for the first time on any system or game."
Which confirms my statement on why any long game whether it be an RPG or Call of Duty campaign should take a bow to The Legend of Zelda.

Punum is a term used to describe a person, creature or thing that is very cute. Usually people just want to hug the 'punum' substance. Taken from the longer phrase Punum Taj it can also be said as Punumer
"Awhh, he's so punum"
