there's one big company that knows to ruffle feathers, it would be
Apple. Apple has filed a scatter-shot
suit against HTC citing patent infringement, trying to slow
down Google's Android OS's momentum. And in the app arena,
Apple has been waging a war of words and
actions against Adobe's popular Flash medium.Apple has never
allowed Flash Player to touch the iPhone -- that would represent a
serious threat to its paid App Store. With the release of its
latest Software Developer Kit (SDK) developer license agreement,
though, Apple outdid itself by slipping
in a ban on using "an intermediary translation or
compatibility layer tool". That meant that any apps
created with Adobe's Creative
Suite 5 tool that translated Flash apps to native iPhone OS
X code were banned.Adobe responded by dropping
support for the tool in coming versions of Creative
Studio.Now The
New York Post reports that
the U.S. Department of Justice and Federal Trade Commission are
"locked in negotiations" about who will be the first to
file antitrust charges against Apple. Both are interested in
launching inquiries; inquiries are used to determine if a full
investigation is needed. An investigation can lead to big fines
as Microsoft and Intel have found
out.Apple's new policies not only lock out Adobe's Flash,
but also Sun's Java and Microsoft's Silverlight/Mono. Josh
Kosman, author of the piece in The Post wrote,
"Regulators, this person said, are days away from making a
decision about which agency will launch the inquiry. It will
focus on whether the policy, which took effect last month, kills
competition by forcing programmers to choose between developing apps
that can run only on Apple gizmos or come up with apps that are
platform neutral, and can be used on a variety of operating systems,
such as those from rivals Google, Microsoft and Research In
Motion."Steve Jobs, co-founder and CEO of Apple recently
accused Flash of crashing
Macs and committing other sins. Adobe's CEO fired
back a response, calling the claims "patently false".
Adobe is championing
Google's Android smartphone OS in response to the Apple
rejection.Apple thrives on a rebel/underdog image, but in
reality it's bigger than Walmart -- the biggest retailer in the
world. The company currently has an incredible $237.6B USD
market cap.The company is also currently being investigated
due to Eric Schmidt and another Apple board member's possible
conflict of interest serving on both Apple and Google's
quote: Apple has no monopoly anywhere. There are many, many alternatives to iPhones, iPods, etc. The fact that they have a commanding marketshare is irrelevant to whether or not they have a monopoly.
quote: In economics, a monopoly (from Greek monos / µ???? (alone or single) + polein / p??e?? (to sell)) exists when a specific individual or an enterprise has sufficient control over a particular product or service to determine significantly the terms on which other individuals shall have access to it.[1][clarification needed] Monopolies are thus characterized by a lack of economic competition for the good or service that they provide and a lack of viable substitute goods.[2] The verb "monopolize" refers to the process by which a firm gains persistently greater market share than what is expected under perfect competition.</quote>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MonopolyThere is large competition for the goods/services in play. Plenty of economic competition, and there is no barrier to entry in Apple's markets.iPhones/iPods/iWhatevers may have runaway majority control of their markets, but it's not due to any monopolistic issues...it's because the sheeple can't stand to not be like everyone else in the world, and therefore they express their individuality by doing the same thing everyone else is doing.
quote: Specific categories of abusive conduct were listed, including price discrimination(section 2), exclusive dealings (section 3) and mergers which substantially lessen competition (section 7).
quote: ...my point is that I see nothing wrong with Apple forcing everyone to buy apps only thorugh the App Store/iTunes if that's what they want to do.
quote: Apple is doing basically the same thing with their policy change. For a small developer that doesn't have the budget to rewrite an app, Apple is taking away the ability to write it in Flash and make it cross platform, and are instead forcing people to choose between using Apple's tools, or being locked out of the iPhone/iPod/iPad market.
quote: So does that mean that Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft are anti competitive because their games are not interchangeable across platforms? Developers have to write three different versions of the same game to make it work on all three of those.
quote: You can write a flash app that is native on one platform (say Android) then use tools to port it over to be native on a different platform. Apple has said you are not allowed to do that...you must instead rewrite the application from the ground up thereby incurring enough cost that it deters the practice.
quote: The agreement say you can't port a Flash app to the iPhone, but does it actually say you can't port an iPhone app to Flash?
quote: If Apple made the only smartphone on the market and their patents excluded others from making smart phones, and it was required that everyone own a smart phone, then that would constitute a monopoly and anti trust behavior
quote: By this Microsoft is in trouble because you can not port applications written for Windows to Linux.
quote: The term 'Monopoly' is always up to interpretation.
quote: In the end Microsoft was settled for abusing their market power to thwart competition (i.e this was just an antitrust case
quote: ...the barrier of entry is on Apple proprietary hardware. Which has always had Flash banned on it.
quote: My microwave has never allowed novel java programs to be run on it, even though it could probably do it. Does that mean I get to sue the microwave manufacturer?
quote: It's a closed system. Apple has control. You don't like it, buy a Droid. Or whatever. Your choices are not limited.
quote: My microwave has never allowed novel java programs to be run on it, even though it could probably do it. Does that mean I get to sue the microwave manufacturer?
quote: A microwave manufacturer does not *have* to let you put your own Java programs on it - even though the microwave might have the capability to run said Java program
quote: By the same token, Apple doesn't *have* to let you run Flash, even though the phone could do it.
quote: I was pointedly making a, well, point about the fact that a manufacturer doesn't have to just open up every product to let you do whatever you want to with it.
quote: Microsoft doesn't have to make Windows Update work on OS X for the same reason that Apple doesn't have to allow Flash to run on it's devices - because it's a proprietary service. Riddle me this - what about all the other phones on the market that don't support Flash? There's lots of them you know. It's not just iPhones that don't support Flash. Why is no one forcing them to support Flash?
quote: Why aren't you complaining that Windows Update doesn't update OS X?
quote: Apple is not in a monopoly position

quote: MP3s...can be played on umpteen million different players with no penalty. Stuff that can be bought on iTunes can be bought at umpteen million other places with no penalty. There is zero barrier to entering that market.
quote: 1. AAC format "lock in"

quote: 3. Certain artists being exclusively iTunes.
quote: That's your own problem for being a stupid consumer. Other formats are available to you that are standard. Use them.
quote: BS. Assloads of accessories are available that work with any and all .mp3 and other music players. A pair of computer speakers will work with any music device ever made.
quote: So? Certain TV shows are only shown on certain networks. That doesn't mean that you can sue ABC because they don't air The Sopranos. Regardless, you can buy .mp3s from iTunes that work on any and all devices if you want to - or, you can buy the CD and rip to .mp3 yourself, which is perfectly legal per fair use laws.
quote: Apple controls over 70% of the MP3 player market. The nearest competitor (SanDisk) controls 11%. The iPod peaked at 92% market share.iTunes controls 88% of the legal music download business. They are also sell more music than anyone else in the United States.Apple also controls 18% of the global smartphone market.Apple has several monopolies, and they are a dominant player in several other markets.Apple is in exactly the same position as Microsoft was.

quote: This statement annihilates all your previous arguments. Just as there are other smart phones, there ARE other OS's. You are being so goddamn hypocritical.
quote: Yeah right! Maybe for home users, but pretty much all serious servers run on Linux based OS's. Workstations. You name it. Stop making up numbers. Linux is alive and well in the business world.
quote: ...although the totally proprietary nature of the Microsoft ecosystem is one big reason why they are inherently teh suck, I am not sure there's any legal reason why Microsoft can't pick and choose what browser to allow on it's OS . Windows (is) not a public service. You don't have a right to own (it), and you don't have a right to force Microsoft to support whatever stuff you want them to support.
quote: Lets face it, the real reason Apple are doing this is because you can do all sorts of stuff with Flash (you may think it sucks, runs slow etc etc but it can be used through a browser to run pretty full-fledged apps)

Does anyone out there work at a public college that mandates that students buy laptops?I'm increasingly convinced that we need to do something like that. We could define 'laptop' pretty broadly to include not just netbooks but also ipads and maybe even smartphones -- anything that gives students wireless internet.

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - Oklahoma could receive $368 million to develop a replacement for the Crusader artillery system abruptly canceled by the Pentagon earlier this year.
The money comes from a $355 billion defense appropriations bill approved by the House of Representatives. The Senate is expected to take up the bill within the next week.
Details of a replacement for the Crusader have not been released, but Oklahoma lawmakers are hoping that there would still be some assembly done in Elgin and that training on the gun would be conducted at Fort Sill.
The Crusder project was canceled in May when Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld said the artillery systems didn't meet the Pentagon's goal of using lighter, more mobile weapons.
The decision was a blow to the small town of Elgin where some Crusader assembly was to be done. Nixing the Crusader project also raised questions about the future of field artillery, Fort Sill's main mission.
The House also passed a $10 billion military construction bill that includes $10 million for a maintenance complex at Fort Sill and $3.5 million for the Institute for Creative Technology simulation at the base. It also includes $7.7 million for a civil engineer complex at Altus Air Force Base.
Vance Air Force Base will receive $16 million to repair roads and build 59 housing units.

-> ''"This is the story of Lilo Ai. She is the last of the vampire on the plant"''
--> ''Bloodline'' introduction
Bloodline (血族) a Manhua made and first released in 2009. A huge dark fantasy story involving battles between vampires and Church forces.
In the story, there is a group of vampires part of a family known as the "Bloodline clan", which is capable to turning human beings into vampires. Humans can easily gain such powers by [[DealWithTheDevil writing an envelope with three large 6's and final wish inside.]] But it's important to not abuse them or otherwise the deal is off and the dealers would be eaten instead.
It chronologically begins with a war that started long ago between vampires and a Church-like organization known as the Shengdi (圣地 "Holy Land"). One of the veterans from the continuous war is Last, who is now one of the few vampires of "Bloodline" and his daughter, Lilo I is the last descendant.
She had a dream of living a human life one birthday after living for nearly 500 years and Last hoped to make such a thing happen. [[DangerousSixteenthBirthday Too bad such a dream is becoming hard to realize.]] Especially when she has the Shengdi [[KnightTemplar trying to kill her and anyone else who tries to help.]] When several incidents occur with the Shengdi that results in Last's disappearance along with her friends and servants.
For three years, Lilo wanders alone with her companions missing. She recruits the young vampire hunter wannabe Ye Ren and CuteGhostGirl Ye Lai, who are preparing to contract with her. After a fateful and bloody encounter with the Shengdi forces targeting Ye Lai, Lilo saves and recruits Ye Ren as her servant. Tired of running and determined to find her father and her place in society, she and her new allies prepare to fight the Shengdi.
The series is written by Ai Ou (artist/author of ''Manhua/InfinityGame'') and drawn by Su
A link for information (in Mandarin) is [[http://baike.baidu.com/view/1226272.htm here.]]
In July 2014, a card game came out for the series.
'''Troper Disclosure:''' All of the works are in Chinese. Tropes may be missing or inaccurate.
!!Tropes include:
* CallingYourAttacks: Both the Shengdi and anyone who uses sorcery. The Shengdi name their abilities "Nianren".
* CoolAirship: The Shengdi are in control of massive flying airships with its logos and Bible quotes written on the sides.
* CrapsackWorld: Being the last of your kind with soldiers from the Church, who could be anyone like your classmates, trying to kill you would sure put you in this trope. At least you have some human and non-human friends though.
* CuteGhostGirl: Ye Lai
* [[DangerousSixteenthBirthday Dangerous More Than 500 Years Birthday]]: A birthday wish of living a normal life is hard to come true.
* DropTheHammer: A standard weapon for many of the Shengdi. Most particularly for Leng Sha, which has a built-in cannon.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Last and Lilo don't use their Bloodline trait to turn people into vampires who want it for granted.
* {{Fanservice}}: Along with many other characters not found in the series, many female characters of the Shengdi and their opposition get more {{Stripperiffic}} outfits.
* GratuitousEnglish: See up top for an example.
* [[spoiler: KillTheCutie: The unexpected death of Ye Lai adds a great TearJerker.]]
* LighterAndSofter: The card game becomes this for the darker manhua series. With lots of new characters, many with {{Fanservice}}, and [[spoiler: some characters coming back with new powers.]]
* MagicKnight: Many characters from vampires to the Shengdi.
* MeaningfulName: Like in most Chinese names, several characters, when translated into English, have this trope somewhat.
** Leng Sha: Cold Sand
** Posui Nangua: Smashing Pumpkins
** Ying Yen: Hawkeye
** Several Shengdi nuns have names pronounced like their given numbers (I.e. Ling Can is #03, Ling Er is #02, etc.)
* MoreThanMindControl: The Shengdi's heavenly appearances cover for their KnightTemplar personas. Their antagonizing of enemies like "Bloodline" also makes it easy to convince [[spoiler:Hui Zhe]] to join them.
* OurVampiresAreDifferent: They follow most stereotypes about vampires in regards to weaknesses and such. But the only big difference is that they're not actually evil. In this series, the [[KnightTemplar Shengdi]] are the real villains.
* PowerLimiter: Shengdi member, Posui Nangua has cuffs to keep him from using his powers at a maximum.
* ProductPlacement: A number of products in real life are found in the series.
** 03 listens to an iPod.
** The Shengdi pursuers visit a KFC during their hunt.
* StarterVillain: Leng Sha, disguised as Fei Hong.
* {{Stripperiffic}}: Not in the manhua, but the coming card game will has many new characters coming with these outfits. And that goes for both the [[NaughtyNuns Shengdi]] ''and'' their enemies.
* TimeSkip: The prequels to Bloodline exist about three years before the current series.
* TookALevelInBadass/BackFromTheDead: In the card game, many characters come back, have upgrades, or both. One notable example is [[spoiler: Ye Lai, who once was just a CuteMonsterGirl and SacrificialLamb is now capable of fighting with sound-based attacks.]]
* TheUnpronouncable: CallingYourAttacks results in having strange sayings for used abilities. However, one could figure out the names by finding patterns. If not, then translate the Chinese.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Family members of the Bloodline clan like any kind of food that's red- tomatoes and watermelon- even though many are unable to eat it.

The United States imported 2.99 million net tons of steel in August, an 8.5 percent month-over-month decline, driven down by lower volumes from Brazil and South Korea from a month prior.
Bernie Sanders, D-Vt., said he will fight the trade deal in the Senate, but Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., hinted the deal could fly in 2017 if controversial language giving corporations the right to challenge a nation's regulations is removed.
The association has called on the U.S. Customs and Border Protection to promulgate rules that require importers of low value goods to bear the same data requirements as shippers of goods over the de minimis level.
Registration takes less than 1 minute.
Ed Greenberg, counsel for the National Customs Brokers and Forwarders Association of America, said the association, along with other groups, will submit a petition to the FMC on behalf of its members that feel they have been incorrectly assessed demurrage.
The President of South Korea, Park Geun-hye, said corporate responsibility and moral hazards are creating adverse effects on its national economy and the government will not blindly support companies in financial trouble.
Guy Courtin, vice president of industry and solution strategy at GT Nexus, said shippers should think of visibility as a tool to monitor and connect all of their trading partners, whether product suppliers or transportation vendors.

PITTSBURGH - A 5-year-old rivalry between two AFC heavyweights has reached its main event.
In what has evolved into the league's nastiest feud, the Ravens and Pittsburgh Steelers will settle a season-long score in today's AFC divisional playoff game at Heinz Field.
The much-anticipated postseason clash has spiced up an already bitter series that has involved warnings, supposed bounties and "plexiglas."
"It's amazing how the personality of a series can change based on the stakes," Ravens coach Brian Billick said.
"The last couple of years when Pittsburgh hasn't been in the playoff picture, they had been respectful, hard-fought games.
"Now, all of a sudden, there's a lot of stakes and it's gotten personal."
This showdown will feature the league's top two defenses, the two hottest running games and two AFC Central teams that thrive on the bad blood between them.
"This is a rivalry between Baltimore and us that has been built over time, built because of success, built on what's at stake," Pittsburgh coach Bill Cowher said. "There's a respect. But there's a dislike that exists. There's no mistake about that, too."
The animosity has simmered over the past two months.
The Ravens (11-6) handed the Steelers their only loss in the inaugural season at Heinz on Nov. 4, instilling confidence that they can do it again. Pittsburgh (13-3) paid back the sentiment by clinching a division title with a victory on Dec.16, celebrating on the Ravens' home field.
The winner of today's tiebreaker will advance to next Sunday's AFC championship game. While it's three weeks before a team will be crowned, the defending champion Ravens have raised the bar for today's grudge match with Pittsburgh.
"The team that wins this game here will win the Super Bowl," Ravens tight end Shannon Sharpe said.
The battle lines were drawn last Sunday, about 15 minutes after the Ravens' wild-card win over the Miami Dolphins.
"Everybody says they're the best team," Ravens outside linebacker Jamie Sharper said. "We'll see. If 'The Bus' (Jerome Bettis) is smart, he won't play."
Bettis, the Steelers' star running back who has missed the past five games with groin and hip injuries, snapped back by saying, "I don't think he's qualified to make that assessment. That's the way I look at it. Well, if you look at the last couple of games, I don't know if he should suit up. He's been put on his back by some wide receivers on our team.
"So, I mean, he might want to be careful himself."
While the trash-talking continued in Pittsburgh, the Ravens surprisingly bit their tongue. Billick reminded his players what happened a month ago, when the Ravens talked all during Pittsburgh week and didn't back up their words for the first time in two years.
Even Sharpe, who questioned the toughness of Steelers receiver Plaxico Burress by nicknaming him "Plexiglas," took the politically correct approach - for now.
"Come Sunday, there will be very little trash-talking and very little hand-shaking involved," Sharpe said.
"Guys know what's at stake. I'm not saying anything now, but I'll be talking later."
The fiercest one-on-one battle likely will be waged between Ravens safety Rod Woodson and Steelers receiver Hines Ward.
In the first meeting in November, Ward delivered a hard block that apparently caused Woodson's nose to bleed. After the game, Woodson found Ward on the field and, according to Ward, told him, "I'll get you back the next time."
When the teams played again a month later, Ward said he heard through the grapevine that there was a bounty out on himself and Burress. According to Ward, a Ravens player would be rewarded if he could knock out either one on a crossing route.
"That's ridiculous," Billick said.
"They are competitive guys who battle. But there was no bounty out or anything like that."
Said Woodson: "Hines plays until the whistle is blown. I got tired of talking to the guy. I'm not going to even bother with the guy.
" We'll probably hit heads a couple of times."

Chautauqua County-Jamestown Airport is on the brink of losing its main carrier.
Silver Airways said that it plans to stop flying out of Jamestown and four other regional airports by mid-May, blaming low passenger levels and rising expenses caused by new federal rules on pilot training and rest requirements in the wake of the crash of Continental Connection Flight 3407 that killed 50 people five years ago in Clarence Center.
The airline, which operates five daily flights to Cleveland and Bradford, Pa., also said the decision was influenced by United Airlines' announcement earlier this month that it would reduce the number of its own flights out of Cleveland.
The news sent Chautauqua County officials scrambling to find a new airline to serve the Jamestown airport.
"The announcement came as a surprise and relatively short notice," Chautauqua County Executive Vincent W. Horrigan said Tuesday. "Once we heard it, we've been on the phone, trying to find a new carrier."
Horrigan and other county officials have contacted the office of Sen. Charles E. Schumer, D-N.Y., to explore all options in identifying a new carrier for Jamestown and have the U.S. Department of Transportation submit a request for proposals for a new carrier to bid on airline service for Jamestown.
The Jamestown airport has about 10 passengers a day, Horrigan said, and is also served by Wiggins Airways, which operates a daily flight to Buffalo. But the majority of its flights are operated by Silver. Without a replacement service, Horrigan said residents would have to drive to Buffalo Niagara International Airport for airline service.
"This service is very important to the county, city and our economic development," Horrigan said. "We want to make sure we do everything we can to keep passenger service in Jamestown."
Silver Airways, which is contracted by United Airlines to operate flights in Jamestown, has been flying out of the Jamestown airport for two years. It will discontinue service by May 15. It also will stop flying out of three Pennsylvania locations – Bradford, DuBois and Franklin – and Parkersburg, W. Va.
Silver Airways President and CEO David H. Pflieger Jr. said revised regulations that regional airlines are facing were among the reasons for terminating its service.
"New federal regulations related to air transport pilot certification, as well as new flight and duty limitations and rest requirements have had the unintended effect of creating a nationwide pilot shortage and significantly increasing operating costs," he said.
The airport also has been trying to maintain its status of having at least 10 passengers on flights each day from the airport to be able to receive federal funding as an Essential Airline Service.
Those low passenger counts also worked against the Jamestown airport as Silver moved ahead with plans to switch from 19-seat Beechcraft 1900D aircraft to 34-seat Saab 340B aircraft, which are both more advanced and more economical to operate, Pflieger said.
The airport was in a similar situation not long ago, Horrigan said. Prior to Silver, Colgan Airlines operated the bulk of flights out of Jamestown. When its contract expired, Silver won the bid the provide service.
"We're optimistic that we'll be able to somehow find a carrier to take care of our passengers," he said. "It's an extensive drive to the Buffalo airport, and it doesn't serve the need like scheduled airline service does."

Your health plan has asked The Rawlings Group to review paid medical claims information and determine if another party may be responsible for the resulting medical treatments. Your medical claims include certain treatment billing codes that are often related to an accident or injury. This may include events such as an accident involving a moving vehicle, a slip and fall, injury on the job, medical malpractice, or a defective product.
No. The provider listed in the letter you received could be someone other than your physician. For example, this person could be an emergency room physician or radiologist who cared for you during your Date of Treatment period listed on the letter.
Yes. Confirming that your treatment was not related to an accident is important information for your health plan to know.
Rawlings will continue to attempt to contact you as your health plan expects members to cooperate in resolving these questions. Depending upon the plan you have, your health plan may pend claims until these questions are resolved.
Your health plan has contracted with The Rawlings Group to review medical claims that they have already paid to identify situations where another party may be responsible to pay those claims. By contract, The Rawlings Group is authorized to perform this service for the health plan, and complies with all legal requirements (HIPAA) and your health plan´s requirements for handling your protected health information.
Please call the toll-free number listed on the questionnaire that was mailed to you. A representative dedicated to your insurance carrier will be available Monday through Friday between 8:00AM and 8:00PM EST.
The Rawlings Group is comprised of The Rawlings Company, Rawlings Financial Services, Rawlings & Associates, and The Rawlings Foundation. All entities, except the Foundation, exclusively serve the health insurance industry by providing cost containment programs.
The Rawlings Group was formed in 1977 to offer legal services to insurance providers. Recognizing the need for specialized recovery services, Rawlings began the first subrogation outsourcing program for the healthcare industry. We subsequently began other outsourcing programs specifically dedicated to medical claims recovery, mass tort litigation, and pharmaceutical claims recovery. Today, The Rawlings Group is the nation's leading provider of data mining claims recovery services.
Our focus is healthcare. Rawlings reduces costs in the health insurance industry by partnering with health plans to identify members who have other sources of coverage that are responsible for paying all or part of their claim costs. We then help our clients recover those dollars from the responsible party.
We provide all of our services by treating others with respect, integrity and compassion. That's what you can expect, and that we expect of ourselves, whether it's in interacting with our clients, their members, our employees or our community.
TRC may collect personal information from your use of this Web site that can be used to identify you.

In Irish mythology, there is a land called Tir na nOg, or, in English, "The Land of the Ever Young," islands that lie somewhere beyond Ireland's West Coast and are home to a magical race of people.
Such a place exists outside of normal space and time, and there's a bit of that working in NBC's new Irish-American drama "The Black Donnellys," premiering Monday, Feb. 26.
On its surface, the show, created by "Crash" partners Bobby Moresco (who, despite the Italian name, is three-quarters Irish) and Canadian-born Paul Haggis, is about fatherless Irish-American brothers (Thomas Guiry, Billy Lush, Michael Stahl-David, Jonathan Tucker) coming of age on the mean streets of New York's Hell's Kitchen neighborhood (the show actually films in Gotham).
Also populating the neighborhood are a local girl (Olivia Wilde), a less-than-reliable storyteller (Keith Nobbs) and an ambitious Italian-American mobster (Kirk Acevedo).
But the Hell's Kitchen they all live in hasn't really existed for 20 years, since the Irish mob called the Westies finally lost its decades-long grip on an area roughly between 34th and 59th Streets, from Eighth Avenue to the Hudson River. These days, you're as likely, if not more so, to run into an actor, an artist, a luxury-condo dweller or even Jon Stewart (who tapes "The Daily Show" in the area) as you are a two-fisted, hard-living Irish gangster.
In fact, many real-estate developers prefer these days to call it "Clinton."
While we're on the subject of names, "The Black Donnellys" also refers to a notorious "black Irish" (a term used by some Irish whose dark looks may be traceable to Spanish blood) clan in Ontario, Canada, which was ultimately murdered by local vigilantes.
That is not this story, but Haggis says, "As we wrote, the tragedy of these characters started to bubble up, and the similarities started to come. We're not telling the story of the 'Black Donnellys' from southern Ontario, but we are telling ... a tragedy. And we're hopefully doing it with a lot of humor."
Also inspiring the show are Moresco's memories of growing up in Hell's Kitchen during the final heydays of the Westies.
But this is not his story.
"So," says Moresco, "can anybody say these things really happened? No. Did a lot of things like this really happen? Absolutely. Were there any real characters? No. Were there characters like this? Everywhere. So you take those elements and you turn it into what you're working on."
So, as to what story "The Black Donnellys" actually is, Moresco says, "This is a coming-of-age story about kids who grew up in a world of the mob that they don't belong in. They're four kids. They don't know what they're doing there, and yet they can't find their way out. They keep trying to dig their way out, but it's just not going to happen.
"They can't get out because of past sins, both their own and their father's. How do you escape past sins? You keep trying. People say it's easy, but it's not."

Crysis of faith
this was written by my close friend, Kimerex who doesn't have an account here (yet) so I am posting this on his behalf
Sony had Killzone. Microsoft had Halo. In the slew of all these things, PC birthed a game to show the non-believers that the platform should never be looked over. Crysis hit the stores with intent to burn out as many power rigs as it could. Even I spent a lot of time trying to tweak my set up to run Crysis at mostly high settings with a little at maximum. Eventually, with the advent of new hardware, my computer finally hit spec to truly get the most out of Crytek's offspring. It made the ending that much better. After all the incredible things I saw, all I could think of was playing the next one. To take up Nomad's suit once more and, along side Psycho, tail Prophet through the island to put an end to the invasion. All I had left was to wait.
A New Day Dawns
The day came when teasers flooded the internet. After seeing an up-close detailing of a nanosuit, we were teased with the simple image for Crysis 2. It was time. The new chapter in my gaming bible was being written. The excitement gave me strength to wade through the mounds of absolute crap being sprayed out into the gaming scene. Just the hope of how amazing it would be. Halo : Reach was announced. Killzone 3 was expected to retaliate. So Crysis 2 would once again stick it in the ass of all the people who think accepting less would be a good thing. Then a domino effect of "wtf" moments kicked in. Not PC exclusive anymore... Ok... I guess that's fine. Exclusivity thrown out. But what does that mean for game quality?
Promises flew around with the same mantra. "We will not shaft the PC gamers." Somewhere along the way a tech demo was revealed showing how the Crytek 3 engine allowed game developers to create games for the PC and have them instantly reduced down to their console levels at the push of a button. This was cool to me. A little bit of faith came back. The thoughts of companies not being so lazy about production and going for amazing quality knowing all the while that the time to re-tool everything for consoles would be a non point. Maybe this could boost quality of PC a little by making companies who wouldn't think about aiming so high right off the bat actually shoot for the bigger and better target. OK, I'm back on board. So what journey is Nomad, my Master Chief, going to take us through now...wait...what... not Nomad, but Prophet? And in New York? Chipping away at my faith again.
Eventually this all came to a head when the game was released. 60 bucks. Not a number I'm used to on PC. Only dicks like Activision tend to post their recycled trash for that much on launch. They tend to keep it there well after, too. So what to do. Strapped for cash and wondering if its really worth it. I decided to show some brand loyalty. They did say PC was getting a special treatment, and though the multiplayer demo wasn't exactly my cup of tea it had some good functions. I guess I'm in.
To Not Know Your Own Reflection
Minute one, I was already not liking this. Heres why.
This is more for the PC'ers among us. Do you see the issue? Where are the advanced visual settings? My computer runs this on extreme at 40 frames, ya. Its no biggey. But what of the people that can't? What if the particle effects cause problems and they need to turn them down, but the textures and everything are fine. Why should they have to sack those to fix the issue. It was all down hill from there. Don't get me wrong, Crysis 2 is a really shiny game. But in my honest opinion, Metro 2033 was much shiny-er, and even though it was also a cross platform title, it still gave the PC side of things the options we've all come to know and love.
So, with my level of disappointment moving much quicker than my excitement, I decided to move forward. Difficulty. The defining moment for me in the first Crysis. Difficulty never meant that enemies where more accurate and damaging. It meant little helpful things wouldn't occur instead. Target spotting, grenade tracking, English speaking enemies. Things like that. So what would Crysis 2's difficulty curve bring. Whats that you say? More damage and accuracy from enemies. HOORAY!!!!! Wait,no. Crap. That just sucks. Well I've always made it a thing to beat games at their hardest setting. Onward then.
A Very Shiny Console Game
Its very hard to contain my issues with the game itself so far. I'll try and, I guess, bullet point the good bits. The visual quality is definitely top of the line. The lighting, textures, color pallet's, procedural animation. All these things looked great and certainly beats the crap out of most other games in terms of visuals. The sounds used were amazing, and tracking enemies with my 5.1 surround sound system was actually quite fun. The story, though it was very separate from the first game, still had its merits. And I also understand why the story had to be changed a little. But my understanding isn't enough to stop me from being angry at it. And that reason stands for several other issues, all balled into one. How should I put this...
Ok, lets say there are two people, one person is really smart with everything and the other is slow/full-blown-retarded, and they hang out together. They know the same people, go to the same clubs, whatever. Now one day, the really smart one begins to notice how the slow one always seems to be happy. Much happier than one of his intelligence should be. "But that's it" the smart one thinks "ignorance must truly be bliss." So the smart one decides that, seeing as how he is unhappy not being part of the slow crowd, he would find a way to fit in. At first it was picking up on social ques and wearing similar clothing, but that just made things awkward. So drastic measures had to be taken. The smart one, which by now you should understand to be Crytek, picks up a big old brick and begins bashing it against his own skull. Just wailing on himself until he can't take any more. Now, with his new found slowness, he re-enters the world as a being capable of truly fitting in with his slower brethren. Of course, moments of clarity do happen on occasion, but for the most part Crytek has given up enough of itself to be truly accepted by people comparably duller than them.
Maybe I'm just bitter, but I really do miss what Crysis stood for. Choices.
If I could boil down what it is to be a PC gamer to one word, that would probably be "choices". Do I want that processor or that one? That video card? That RAM? Am I ok with on board sound or do I want a damn good expansion slot sound card? Crysis carried with it that feel to a T. From the setting to play-style, everything was your choice. I could change visual settings, nanosuit voice, all the controls, even the HUD color. In game I was presented with a large-scale playground and given only a few missions in each area, allowing me full control of the "how" in "how do I get there." Do I go by way of the villages? Do I do that in stealth or in a tank? Do I stick to the woods and not bother with the armies there? I'll have to keep an eye out for patrols. Crysis 2 had only a taste of this at times. Instead it went for the console route. A concept I have dubbed "Funnel Vision".
Let me describe this for the benefit of both those who have never really experienced this and those who have never really experienced anything else and took no notice of it. I'll use a moment from Crysis 2, in fact. You enter an office building to search for a code or something on one of the panels. After a little bit of corridor fighting you end up in a massive room.
Not unlike the one above this. You have a quick little battle and suddenly the glass begins to crack. Holy crap Bioshock flashbacks.A Pinger shows up and blows out the window in an ever so ominous way and you get sucked out into the water. This is where I wish I had taken a screen cap. I was so mad when I saw it that I forgot. When you wash up on shore, you're standing up facing a tunnel exit from the sunken pond area you were just in. Literally, you get washed up where you have to go. Not a moment in game of "find your own damn way to get there." Only occasional tactical options for a fight, most of which are meaningless. I got so mad at the difficulty being the basic "more damage" mantra that I decided to stealth kill most everything. At least untill I found out that not all fights need you to kill anything at all. Whole sections of battle averted by just stealthing and running to an elevator. A waste in such a small world.
Look At Me! I'm Trendy!
I wish my issues stopped there. I really do. All the cool things introduced in the first game set Crysis 2 up for greatness. The "aliens" using microwave pulses to flash freeze things. The tentacle armor being driven by creatures of what seemed like pure energy. The Korean army being involved with stolen nanosuit tech. The character ground work that came out of all the tragedies that occurred. Such potential, wasted. My only question is whether or not this was forgotten because of games in the same genre on the consoles Crysis 2 was planning on joining?
I'll say this now, Halo was a fine game. I wouldn't play it for any real reason, but it has its place. I've seen friends play it a lot. I know most of the story without even touching so much as a controller for the game. After maybe the second alien fight in Crysis 2, my mind had decided I was playing Halo. Each fight consisted of a slew of pre-determined alien types, and you would have to decide how to dispatch them or get past them. Every Halo fight ever. I started translating fights in my head using terms like grunts, elites, and brutes. So very disappointed in this, though I feel many a Halo fan will come to love Crysis 2 for this without even making the connection.
I did notice one other thing. Something that I can't exactly say, beyond a shadow of a doubt, is true. But thanks to the Nvidia booth at PAX using Crysis 2 as an example for 3D gaming I managed to make the almost conspiratorial link in my head. There are so many moments in Crysis 2 where something big and fast comes right at you. A giant tentacle coming right at you when your riding in a tank as a rail shooter section. Helicopters crashing through walls at you. Aliens lunging at you. Explosions sending debris at you. The water flooding a section of New York rushing at you. If I didn't know any better, I would think Crysis 2 was made with the idea of being like a 3D movie sequel in mind at all times. But hey, its not like 3D is an option in the settings... oh wait, it is. As if the prospect of an already on thin ice movie deciding to go 3D wasn't bad enough, now my games are doing it. For shame.
It's F.E.A.R. 2 All Over Again
Looking back I'm starting to see a trend of me hating sequels. But then I remember many of the sequels I've played and loved, and there goes that idea. F.E.A.R. 2 for me was a big one. Loved the first one, saw tons of potential, then watched it putter out over several bad expansions and a horrible sequel that threw everything that was good about the first game out, just to fit in with the console crowd. The biggest issue with F.E.A.R. 2 I had jumped over to Crysis 2 as well. Gamespy. I say this a lot and find that I can never say it too much. Fuck you Gamespy. Your idea of how internet gaming and net code works is utter shit and you need to stop trying. Please. Do us all a favor and stop. F.E.A.R. 2 showed me how horrible it really was to work within Gamespy's system, and Crysis 2 is running that same line. I've played several matches already and have found the "learning" aspect of it to be a fools errand. I've died so many times to pop shots that, due to poor net code, seem to hit my ankles twice for the kill shot. This I can never understand because comparatively, I would plant 6 shots into some ones chest, unarmored, and do nothing. Then watching replays of how I died that look as bad as CoD : Black Ops. Watching bullet trace not even get near my character model and still dying to it is something I can't stand. Not to mention all the times I've spawned next to an enemy and died before my weapon was drawn. Hooray for shitty multiplayer. And I even count myself lucky. I actually got to play some rounds. For the most part I kept running into servers that called themselves chat rooms since the games wouldn't start anyway, and even if it did I still run the risk of dropping connection upon loading. Round of applause ladies and gentlemen. Pray for a patch to be handed down from the high heavens to fix this travesty.
It Can't All Be Bad... Can It?
No. At its worst, Crysis 2 is still shiny. Past all the lack of true and proper freedom, it was shiny. Through the convoluted story involving characters I couldn't give two shits about, it was shiny. Through fighting off droves of copy-paste aliens, it was shiny. Shinier than most, some might say. I've even heard tale of people who say its the shiniest of them all. And ya, it is shiny. But so what. I was once called an elitist for liking Crysis because of its graphics, but honestly I could have lived with the story and game flow more than that. Now I've been given another example of great graphics, but without the flow I just can't get into this tech demo called Crysis 2. Maybe Crytek will release a true follow-up to Crysis, where we get to see what happened to Nomad and Psycho after they flew into the alien war zone in search of Prophet. Maybe then I'll feel not jipped out of a story I was really looking forward to. Until then, I'll just have to debate deleting Crysis 2 from my hard drive when Witcher 2 or Brink comes out.

Klogs believes that its customers say "wow" whenever they slip into any of the Klogs styles and offers a better than barefoot approach to comfort.
Each Klogs model, whether it's made fully of polyurethane or contains a leather upper, is created with industrial strength molded polyurethane in the sole. This material provides outstanding slip resistance and shock absorption.
The outsoles on all Klogs shoes are all made from polyurethane, but Klogs has an entire line of all-molded polyurethane shoes. The molded polyurethane line is particularly well suited for shift workers or anyone on their feet for extended periods of time. Made in the U.S.A., the molded polyurethane Klogs can even be sterilized to 140° Fahrenheit. The removable anti-microbial footbed helps you keep your feet clean, dry, and odor free. Klogs also can accommodate most orthotics and arch supports.
Leather Klogs have the same great features of the molded polyurethane Klogs, but with a full grain leather upper. These styles also have wider toe boxes for a natural barefoot feel. While not made in the U.S.A., the leather Klogs models continue to provide the quality you would expect in any Klogs product.
All Klogs products have been tested for slip resistance against ASTM F489-96 standard under dry, wet, and oil conditions. Klogs exceeded the standards in workplace environments, so you can be assured of shoes that are as safe as possible under these circumstances.

I spoke with him ...
I spoke with him back in April 2014 about installing a water softener and new hot water tank at our cottage. It's July and NOTHING has been done. Never calls back when he says he will and doesn't initiate calls. I have called him weekly since April but it doesn't help. Very dismissive and non-committal. Doesn't seem to take the request for his business seriously. Finally found someone else to do it! Do not use.

People take notice of glowing radiant skin especially during winter months when most faces are pale and dull. Tanning salons and spa treatments are one way to "cheat" and create a healthy glow but they come at a high price and tanning can increase the risk for cancer not to mention prematurely aging skin.
A homemade face mask is a safer and less expensive alternative that can be used every day.
Signs and Symptoms Of Tired Dull Skin:
When your skin doesn't look and feel it's best due to environmental factors like sunburn, wind exposure, illness, lack of sleep or adequate nutrition you feel older and more "rugged" than you want to. Sometimes you can feel less than your radiant self and wonder what you can do to improve your health and appearance.
If you aren't reading this because you're having a "bad skin day" but simply want a natural way to maintain good skin health and a radiant complexion without spending a fortune on skin care products then this information is equally valid.
The ingredients you have available to you for use in skin care recipes can be more effective than home made recipes if you know what to use and how to use them.
Risks Factors In Commercial Skin Care Products:
Many skin care products contain petroleum or other chemically based products to lock in moisture or deliver synthetic alternatives to naturally derived vitamins and minerals in their fresh concentrated forms.
You may have heard of ingredients like propylene glycol or sodium laureate sulphate. Many people have sensitivities to these products. Some allergies are not obvious but can cause acne, flaking and dryness that you may not associate with your skin or shampoo products.
Using natural skincare recipes including homemade face masks to serums, means you can avoid chemical irritation or greatly reduce your chances not of having a reaction to skin care products.
Traditional Skin Treatments:
There are so many treatments offered from microdermabrasion to IPL (intended pulsed light) as examples. These are designed to stimulate regeneration of skin cells and to increase the level of uptake of beneficial nutrients into your skins layers.
If you use the right combination of nuts, oils and fruits in homemade facial masks, you can do the same thing and achieve the same results that you might pay hundreds or thousands of dollars for.
Research and Natural Skin Care:
There are so many essential oils that we suggest using in Natural Home Made Face Masks and Skin Care Recipes that have been proven to stimulate new cell growth, repair damage and protect against free radical damage to your skins layers. Ingredients like Coconut oil, tea tree and honey have been tested extensively and proven to be very beneficial for treatment of bacterial infections and healing making them great for acne prone skin or other skin infections.
Here are some simple ways to use homemade face masks to enhance your skins luminosity:
Skin Loofah
- Exfoliate the skin by massaging a natural loofah on it for two or three minutes and then rinse the skin with lukewarm water.
Honey Lemon Mask
- Mix some honey with enough flour to create a paste and add a small amount of lemon juice. Apply this mask, leave it on for 15 minutes, then wash off with warm water and pat skin dry.
Oatmeal Facial Mask:
A mask featuring oatmeal smoothes skin and provides it with a lasting glow. Combine ½ cup of oatmeal, ¼ cup of milk, ½ cup of chopped cucumber, and a handful of fresh cilantro. Blend the ingredients to create a smooth mixture. Apply this to the face and leave the mask on until it hardens, approximately 20 minutes, then rinse it off with warm water and pat-dry skin.
Turmeric is a spice popular in India as a face mask and body scrub ingredient. Mix one teaspoon of turmeric with three tablespoons of milk, two tablespoons of flour, and a few drops of honey. Apply the mixture to the face in a thin layer and wait approximately 20 minutes for it to dry. Gently scrub with a washcloth and warm water to remove, dry skin, and apply a moisturizer.
These are just a few simple ways to get glowing skin…there are many more homemade face masks, serums and remedies to help remove dead skin cells and stimulate new cell growth.
Try some of our exfoliating skin scrubs and anti-aging serum formulas – and you'll be amazed at the results!
You can use our Serum and Ingredient wizards, check out our ingredient chart (see menu above) or buy the book Natural Home Made Face Masks and Skin Care Recipes which has a comprehensive index of the ingredients you can use for your skin.
