I love Fallout 3 and after buying the GOTY edition and playing alot, I was thinking that having an Online Co-op with a friend who plays as another Lone Wanderer could add to the fun if done right. Do you think that Fallout 3 should have online Co-op? Yes or No?
Should Fallout 3 have an Online Co-op?

i don't know actually. if it was done right, it could be interesting, but with VATS and all it'd be kinda weird to see your friend frozen in time while you walk along.

Nahhhh. The combat in the game is too dynamic and impossible to assign any kind of difficulty setting to it. I guess if you just wanted to fool around with a friend in the game's current state, you can check the PC mods for some ghetto ass co-op mod. Assuming there is one...

No. How would VATS work? The whole point of the game is that you're a lone wanderer. I'm sure most people would struggle finding someone to commit to a 60 hour game with them. Maybe a Fallout game in the future will satisfy your interest... maybe some sort of MMO?

That would totally ruin the narrative and the whole experience. I would say no.
I hate this notion that so many people have that "every game needs an online mode" or something of that extent. When that sentiment hits developers, it ruins some games. So please, no. Keep your co-op out of my Fallout 3! Thank you.
"@Eliot: No. Absolutely not. As EpicSteve pointed out, how would VATS work? Also the fact that as he also stated, the point is that you are alone in a desolate nuclear wasteland. I hate this notion that so many people have that "every game needs an online mode" or something of that extent. When that sentiment hits developers, it ruins some games. So please, no. Keep your co-op out of my Fallout 3! Thank you. "
Hey I said if done right, I didn't say it absolutely needs it.

I think it would be cool but the VATS would get annoying because every other second I'd have to freeze to watch my partner shoot. I think it would be fun to explore the wastes with a buddy but they'd have to do a few changes.
Simple Answer
But it would have to be very basic,
Like just joining into the normal single player game with your friend,
But add another 50-75% enemies, For each person.
I wouldn't want any more that 4 people total, Two would be perfect.
If they try and do something really special with multi player, There's a good chance it will suck.
And an even better chance the single player would suffer somewhere.

" ...with a friend who plays as another Lone Wanderer ... "Erm... I can't help but think you've kinda missed the point of the whole "Lone Wanderer" concept. The player character is called that because they're, well... alone.
Co-op in a game like Fallout 3 simply wouldn't work. A large part of what makes the game so awesome is its atmosphere, and a vast amount of that is generated by the bleak, desolate gameworld you can explore. The game makes you feel genuinely lonely, to the point where every interaction with an NPC is savoured, and every second of combat is accompanied by an underlying sense of fear. Throwing another player into the equation would completely destroy that atmosphere. That's without mentioning all the technical hurdles the developers would have to overcome in order to actually make it happen in an open-world game with so much freedom, but even if by some miracle it was technically possible, they'd never be able to avoid wrecking the lonely atmosphere.

It seems everyone fears losing the "Desolate Wasteland" feel, and that a partner would sabotage that. To that I ask, what about followers? Followers play a prominent roll in the game. To me, that argument is misguided. It also needs to be noted that clearly, this would be an optional mode, so people who for whatever reason don't bring along companions and just go it alone, will still have that. Some of my friends and I have thought in depth regarding co-op, and what the dev team would need to do to make it function. Here are some of the points we came up with:
- Yes, V.A.T.S would be abolished in co-op, but that's an acceptable sacrifice because you will have TWO people blasting away at the enemy, which would likely balance it. It would certainly still make combat slightly more difficult overall, but personally, I see this as a minor sacrifice.
- A Tether would be necessary, not a traditional tether like the one in OFP:DR, but a 'load-screen tether' like in the Lego Star Wars games (lol), where when a player attempts to enter a zone where a load screen will be necessary, the game will prompt the other player to accept the advance via a button press, or by coming within a certain distance of the doorway in question (to avoid exploiting the feature by having one player deep in combat being whisked away by accepting the door usage of the other player. There are places where this would be slightly annoying, especially in heavy urban areas like the New Vegas Strip where the player is constantly passing through these loading screens, but alas, sacrifices must be made.
- One of the biggest game-changers would be the use of the Pip-Boy, which would no longer pause the game, and therefore would be used in REAL TIME. This would place greater emphasis on the tactical usage of Hot Keys. Both players would need to be certain their Hot Keys complimented each other, and are combat-ready with both health items and weapons.
- A minor tweak, and one that is featured in Skyrim, is real-time conversation, meaning time doesn't magically pause when a player enters conversation. In addition, AI would have to be altered to accommodate two players in a few ways: If the NPC in conversation is harmed by the non-conversing player, then he will break conversation and react accordingly. If the other player attempts to access a restricted area, or steal an object (in sight of the NPC) the NPC will break conversation and react. This does mean that distracting a guard through conversation would be a new, and viable tactic (only if you can engage that NPC in conversation to begin with)
- Because many conversations are affected by skills and perks, the players can choose who talks to the NPCs they encounter, allowing them to invest their XP and perks in a complimentary manner (i.e. a gunman who is knowledgeable in weaponry, repair, survival etc, and a smooth-talking diplomat)
- In conversations prompted by NPCs, whichever player is closer to the NPC will engage in the conversation.
- In conversation involving objectives or other quest-related pieces, the player in the conversation will make the choices, and those choices will effect the points made below for both players.
- All XP would be allotted to both players, and both players would level up simultaneously
- Objectives would be given to both players, and when completed by one, would be completed for both.
- Karma and reputation would be shared.
- Perks involving V.A.T.S would be abolished, as would perks that affect skill increase and rate.
- Yes, in order for all of this to work, both players would need to be online simultaneously and play together. This is the only way to not sacrifice the game's depth.
- Little or no change would be made to the amount of items found in containers, as having two mouths to feed should be balanced by having two sets of hands searching.
- Players inventorys would be separate, as would their caps. Though, naturally, they'd be able to barter and exchange with each other.
- Like in Minecraft, both players must find a bed to sleep (the first player to find one will be prompted to wait for the other, and the first player to find a bed will be in charge of selecting the length of slumber
- A player will select a Wait time and the other player will be prompted to accept or reject it.
There may have been more issues and solutions, but this is all I could recall at the moment. Let me know what you think, and anything I may have missed or should be done differently.

It would be appreciated if you gave some reasons please.
I'm going to say no just because vats wouldn't work or it would be really weird. Besides that though I would love it if fallout was coop so at least I wouldn't be bored to death playing it.

They would have to completely retool the combat, to almost the turn based system of the original titles, or do away with VATS entirely, which would leave you with a janky co-op shooter. I personally don't care for that. If you want to get your multiplayer Fallout on, there might be people still playing Fallout:Tactics out there somewhere in the world. Otherwise play Borderlands if you're looking for a co-op shooter that has embraced a run down looking world and the color brown.

I don't think one needs to lose VATS, just put it under control of the host player ala. slow motion in FEAR 3 and let the partner line up shots based on the AP he has when it's active. I doubt this would be a compelling experience with randoms though, it'd really only be suitable for playing with a good buddy that has a similar play style.

as people have said before,Fallout 3 isn't a shooter. The shooting simply isn't good enough without VATS.
I don't necessarily agree that it breaks it because you're supposed to be alone all the time, though. In the first two Fallout games you could get Ian/Sulik very quickly. You hardly spend any time alone. Unless if they worked out some sort of story contrivance whereby the other player is not also the main character and has their own story, though, it would feel weird for me to have 2-player co-op in a fallout game. It's not like WoW or Dungeon Siege where the story doesn't matter.

Bethesda only now managed to get a decently functioning game out the door: Skyrim.
Their worlds are big and complex enough to already add a huge amount of difficulty in terms of coding and making all that stuff hold together.
Asking them to add in a MP component would magnify the issues, difficulies and complexities monumentally.
Their games have also always been about your own personal adventure in these big worlds.
You doing what you want and affecting them how you want.
Your own personal playgrounds.
Their games are designed from the ground up to be single player experiences. All of the core design desicions are based with that in mind.
In general the cost:benefit ratio to do something like this would not be good.
It's a bad idea on several fronts.
PS: also people talking about balance in Bethesda RPGs - LooooooL

I'm gonna say Yes. I would dig some Co-Op in some Fallout.
@MA5TER_CHAFFE: Actually, a game like that probably would be pretty great if done right. I'm not sure that Fallout 3 is the right game for it, but I like the idea. I think the shooting would have to be a little more solid, and the jank would have to be beaten down, but the added tactics could be really interesting. Imagine setting up an ambush, like in the pilot of Firefly, with your buddy up on a hill with a rifle while you negotiate with a raider. Hmm... STALKER 2 might be a good candidate for something like that.

GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- Will Muschamp cracked wise. He told stories. He talked about doing things the "Florida Way." He fired off a warning shot to any player even thinking about acting up.
He spent a dizzying 45 minutes talking during his introductory news conference as the new Florida Gators coach Tuesday night, barely pausing for breath. He spoke so fast and so energetically that he had the Gators players, supporters and boosters at the back of the room just staring at him, listening to every word.
That is exactly what he needed to do Tuesday. Muschamp got the attention of the base and made people believe, something he desperately needed to do because of concerns about his inexperience.
Already his detractors worried he could be the next Ron Zook, who also came to Florida with no head-coaching experience. Zook failed to win any loyalty from day one. His failure to win championships seemed to be an inevitability.
Muschamp is no Zook. He is no Urban Meyer, either, and that should be something to go on for those fans who clamored for change after a 7-5 season.
Meyer and Muschamp certainly share the same type of intensity, but they have two different approaches. Meyer never seemed comfortable in front of cameras, and never spent 45 minutes answering questions.
Muschamp, on the other hand, relished his opportunity. His opening remarks lasted 20 minutes. He addressed his plan, those critical of his inexperience, being the right fit at Florida, his offensive and defensive philosophies, his desire to help players with leadership and character, recruiting, his days as a child in Gainesville and his desire to have Meyer involved with the program.
Players described him afterward as "high energy." Not exactly the first words that come to mind when describing Meyer, who appeared aloof at times during his six years at the Gators' helm.
Of course, high energy is not going to translate into wins. Neither is his star-studded background -- he learned from Mack Brown and Nick Saban. Muschamp is aware of all of this. And though he felt it was the right time to become a head coach, he acknowledged that Brown and Meyer told him that even they were not ready to tackle the mammoth jobs at Texas and Florida.
Muschamp is going to have to learn on the job, but he will not be allowed to make many mistakes. A fan base and athletic department used to championships will be applying constant pressure for him to win.
"I know the Gator Nation is going to have high expectations and I am too," he said. "We're not on a five-year plan here."
He has no plans to change his demeanor on the sideline, which has affectionately earned him the nickname "Coach Boom." He has some plans to change the offense, describing his philosophy as having more pro-style elements.
Even that might not be enough to keep quarterback John Brantley, who reiterated he would discuss his future with his family after the Outback Bowl and was noncommittal about his return to Gainesville.
Muschamp has definite plans to change the perception of the program, one that has taken a hit with 30 player arrests under Meyer. He listed plans to help players with leadership and character development, along with mental conditioning. Players who want to graduate are a must.
As for his plans on a coaching staff, Muschamp emphatically said he had not offered a job to anybody, and would wait until after the bowl game to make any decisions about his future assistants.
Football talk aside, perhaps what may have endeared people to him most of all was his candor about who he is. Meyer rarely gave a glimpse into his past. He restricted interviews of his father and sisters, and rarely talked about growing up as a child.
But sitting right in the front row Tuesday night were Muschamp's parents, Larry and Sally. It was Larry who had season tickets to Gators games in the north end zone in the 1980s when the family lived here. Muschamp adored Wilber Marshall. Sally always wanted a picture taken with Cris Collinsworth.
Even after his family moved back to Georgia, he had Florida on his mind. He came on an unofficial visit to Gainesville but never got a chance to meet the ol' ball coach. Steve Spurrier was on a golf course somewhere. "He was 2 under at the turn, I guess we didn't get a chance to see him," he said.
Muschamp ended up going to Georgia, and spent part of his career coaching in the SEC at Auburn and LSU. When he attended Gators games as a child, he never envisioned he would be standing on the sideline as the leader of this team.
Perhaps nobody did, considering he had been tabbed to succeed Brown. Muschamp was surprised when Florida athletic director Jeremy Foley called him up, but he was not surprised he wanted the job after he heard the pitch.
This is where he wants to be. He is different from Meyer. But now the waiting game begins to see if he is the same in the only area that counts: winning championships.

Thou shalt laugh at this
Web site
By A.S. Berman, USATODAY.com
Like secret agents, they arrive, blending in with
the worshipers as they settle down for the week's sermon. While others bow their
heads and pray, these individuals are grading the soporific qualities of the clergy,
the comforts of the pew. Only later, when a distinctive calling card is fished
from the collection plate, will church officials discover that their house of
worship has been visited by the ecclesiastic equivalent of a restaurant critic.
This secretive spot-check of churches around the world is just one of the ways
Ship-of-Fools.com keeps its 25,000 monthly visitors grinning at the lighter side
of Christianity.
on the "Mystery Worshipper" section of the site brings up anonymous reviews of
churches from Taiwan to Texas, submitted by anyone daring enough to infiltrate
a house of God and report on the quality of the experience.
Billed as "the
magazine of Christian unrest," the concept began life in 1977 as a humor magazine
launched by Simon Jenkins, then a London theology student. "The Christian press
was pretty dour," recalls Jenkins, 46. "Kind of like church, actually."
1983, printing costs and a circulation of only 1,000 forced Jenkins and fellow
theology student Stephen Goddard to shelve the project. More than a decade passed
before the birth of the Net coaxed Ship of Fools out of dry dock.
"To get on the Net was just like a dream," Jenkins
says. Besides eliminating exorbitant printing costs, the Internet allowed them
to create several message boards for readers to discuss the lighter side of faith,
as well as instant polls and more. "It's like being in a candy shop."
the site's many treats:
The Biblical Curse
Generator, which serves up such insults as "Take heed, O thou lazy Babylonian,
for you will fall under a speeding chariot!"
for God goes shopping for tackier-than-thou knickknacks including,
among other items, a pillow featuring da Vinci's painting of the Last Supper that
plays Hey Jude when pressed.
Signs &
Blunders pays tribute to an underappreciated source of entertainment
church signs. Outside a church in Northampton, Mass.: "Parking for pastor only.
Violators will be forgiven, but their cars will be towed." On a church sign in
Manitoba: "Trespassers will (be) baptized."
range from a lighthearted look at The Simpsons' Ned Flanders as a Christian
icon to an examination of a phenomenon that found believers claiming their fillings
had been transmuted into gold.
Though Jenkins acknowledges
that poking fun at religion is a tightrope walk between humor and offensiveness,
he insists the term "Christian humor" is no oxymoron. "The church has somehow
missed the trick that God has a sense of humor."
many of the site's visitors have one, too. Kirsten Anderson of Santa Cruz, Calif.,
enjoys the site "because they poke gentle fun at what often seems rather solemn
and pompous."
"It's always been very (well) put together,"
says Lev Eakins, 23, of Manchester, England. It "maintains a high quality of humor
and content and is regularly updated."
One of the site's
most enduring features remains the "Mystery Worshipper." With five reports filed
weekly, the review has become a badge of honor and, occasionally, a quality-control
Once, a priest was trying to convince those greeting
his parishioners that they weren't being as welcoming as they could be, Jenkins
says. The greeters insisted that they were plenty welcoming, prompting the frustrated
clergyman to ask the site to "please send a Mystery Worshipper so I can show them
they're wrong."

At Uniplaces we make the process of booking an apartment as easy as possible for both tenant and landlord.
That's why we have our own team of professional photographers that verify our properties and pick our landlords carefully in order to save time on viewings: we think it's old-fashioned and time-consuming.
You can look at forty different apartments on our platform in the same amount of time that it takes to see a room.
The pictures you see here haven't been photoshopped, so they'll be really accurate.
If you've still got any doubts, we'll keep the money that you transfer us until 24h after your move-in date.
If something's not exactly what you saw online, we'll help you move somewhere else and return your money.
We can only give you the contact details of your landlord after your booking is accepted. But we can guarantee that Uniplaces chooses the landlords it works with very carefully.
Besides, we've had students whose favourite part was living with a local!
Landlords and host families can be great city guides, help you out with translations and even become your friends.
As soon as your booking is accepted, you're given the landlord's contact details. Then, you can discuss all details directly with them, such as when you'll be moving-in.
Students move in and out at different times, so your flatmates might change during your stay.
It's a great opportunity to make new friends!
We personally speak to students who we place in Uniplaces apartments and are sure we will find the right place for you as well!
At the bottom of the property page, you have a calendar where you can see the availability of that room/apartment, according to the landlord.
But if you're still unsure about that we're happy to help.
Tell us your move-in and move-out dates and we will double-check if the place is available for you!
There are two different types of deposits: the Holding and Security deposits.
By clicking on "Deposit" at the bottom of the offer page you will get more information about each type of deposit.
In general, the deposit is paid to cover for any potential damages that may occur during your period of stay or will be used as rent compensation in case you leave earlier than originally planned.
If no damages occur and you leave on the agreed move-out date, your deposit should be refunded by the landlord in a way you both agree on.

WRAPUP 2-TD Bank, CIBC shares fall after posting soft results
(Adds comments from TD Bank CEO on 2015 targets)
By Jeffrey Hodgson
TORONTO Dec 4 (Reuters) - Shares of Toronto-Dominion Bank and Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce slid on Thursday after posting soft results in what is shaping up to be a disappointing fourth-quarter earnings season for Canadian lenders.
TD Bank reported a weaker-than-expected profit, even as its revenue and earnings rose, and said it expects a more challenging operating environment in 2015.
And CIBC said its profit fell from a year earlier, hurt by the loss of some credit card revenue and softer results at its wholesale banking division.
TD shares fell 5 percent to C$54.03 in Toronto, while CIBC shares dropped 3.4 percent to C$103.52.
"We would find it hard to describe (TD's) fourth quarter earnings release as anything but surprisingly disappointing," Barclays Capital analyst John Aiken said in a research note.
Canadian bank stocks also took a hit on Tuesday when Bank of Montreal posted a weaker-than-expected profit. Royal Bank of Canada results on Wednesday were seen as roughly in line.
TD, Canada's second-largest lender, said its net income rose to C$1.75 billion ($1.54 billion), or 91 Canadian cents per share, in the fourth quarter ended Oct. 31, from C$1.62 billion, or 84 Canadian cents a share, a year earlier. Continued...

First, the LSS Awards will be given out at the final Dean's Social on Thurs. March 31 from 12:30-1:30 in the lounge. There will be pizza!

- The Protestant Reformation and the Roman Catholic Counter-Reformation saw profound changes in the cult of relics. The Protestant reformers rejected relics entirely, while at the Council of Trent the Catholic Church promulgated strict new guidelines about the authentication, display and adoration of relics. Emphasis was placed upon the visibility of the relic in its reliquary, and clear labelling of the relic's source. This covered glass jar is a form frequently used to house relics. Threads would be tied around the knop on the lid and the stem of the jar and then sealed with wax, protecting the contents from being tampered with.

We're less than a month out from the NFL Draft and the mock drafts from media outlets around the league keep coming out like clockwork. With the pro days and workouts before the draft are coming to a close, the annual collection of smoke and mirrors from teams around the league are out in full force. Every team apparently hates and loves every player available (sometimes at the same time).
So while every report on prospects should be taken with a grain of salt this time of year, that doesn't stop the mock drafts from being updated. Dolphins.com continues to have the most meaningful of them collected in one convenient place.
Without accounting for potential trades, here's a collection of opinions from around sports media on who the Dolphins will draft in the first round of the 2014 NFL Draft:
Don Banks, SportsIllustrated.com: Zack Martin, OL, Notre Dame
Martin could either start his NFL career at right tackle, opposite free-agent signee Branden Albert, or perhaps move inside and upgrade the Dolphins' well-known need at left guard. But either way the Miami offensive line continues its near total makeover after the debacle of 2013. The Dolphins should embrace the karmic do-over that drafting another offensive lineman named Martin presents.
Bucky Brooks, NFL.com: Zack Martin, OL, Notre Dame
Martin's versatility makes him an ideal fit for the Dolphins as a potential swing player along the offense line.
Mike Florio, ProFootballTalk.com: Xavier Su'a Filo, OG, UCLA
Pat Kirwan, CBSSports.com: Zack Martin, OL, Notre Dame
Miami has taken Martin in every one of my mock drafts, which usually means the team will go elsewhere on May 8. Martin's versatility is the key reason I like him in a Dolphin uniform.
Daniel Jeremiah, NFL.com: Zack Martin, OL, Notre Dame
I keep trying to come up with another player for the Dolphins, but I can't see them passing on a clean player like Martin.
Mel Kiper Jr., ESPN.com (ESPN Insider Access Required): C.J. Mosley, ILB, Alabama
Todd McShay, ESPN.com (ESPN Insider Access Required): Morgan Moses, OT, Virginia
Pete Prisco, CBSSports.com: C.J. Mosley, ILB, Alabama
I've had him here for a while, and I will keep it that way. Could also consider an offensive lineman.
Matt "Money" Smith, NFL.com: Xavier Su'a Filo, OG, UCLA
They got their OT in free agency with Branden Albert. Solidifying one side of that line by plugging the hole between him and Mike Pouncey turns a 2013 weakness into a 2014 strength.
Rob Rang, NFLDraftScout.com: Zack Martin, OL, Notre Dame
With Branden Albert signed to take over at left tackle, the Dolphins can instead shift their draft-day focus towards boosting the play inside at guard. Zack Martin, unrelated to Jonathan Martin by genetics or style of play, is a coach's dream. While perhaps lacking the body type scouts prefer at tackle (where he started 50 of his 52 career games for the Irish), Martin slides well laterally and controls opponents with fierce hand usage.

trade up for eric ebron !!!!
Every year at the end of February, we start looking for Mock Drafts to come out, so that we can get an idea of who our beloved Dolphins are intrigued by. In the beginning they are all over the place, but after a about a month, most analysts settle on one or two as a likely candidate for your teams roster. I have a rule that I try to live by, but I find it tougher and tougher to do every year. That rule is, Once you get inside a month to go to draft day, stop listening to draft analysts so much and turn your ears more in house, to your own coaches, team insiders and of course most of all, your GM. Enter this years problem. Dennis Hickey is about as tight lipped as any GM we've ever had. I try to watch every time he schedules a TV interview to get whatever information that I can, but he lets nothing leak out.
All GM's this time of year, start throwing out diversions, making it more and more difficult to tell what is going on. That's their intention, they want to steer you and other teams away from what they actually want. So the only way for good information, is to get it from sources you've known and trusted for years, and mine says this. A lot of GM's are starting to get scared, that if they pass on a needed O-lineman early, that he won't be there in the 3rd round and late in the 2nd round, you might have to settle, for the runt of the litter. With this in mind, it's becoming less likely that we get Martin or any O-linemen, with our 19th pick. No other O-lineman really grades out at that point, so to take one now, we would hear what we heard when Ireland was here," you're reaching". I think our chances of getting a LB like CJ Mosley is getting better, but he may not even be available. A trade back could happen, a less likely trade up could happen, no one really knows, that's what keeps us glued to articles like these, it's a nail biting time of year. All that we can do is keep reading, watching, and waiting.
Even though we don't need a WR, if Marqise is available should we grab em? Come by, answer our poll and tell us what you think!! http://phinsnews.com/should-the-phins-take-usc-wr-marqise-lee-with-their-1st-pick/
Everyone has Dolphins selecting Martin but I don't see Martin making it to 19th pick. Best available player. Linemen in RD2!!
I think Su'a Filo should be Miami's first pick . You get a solid guard to plug in on the left side , replacing Incognito. Left side is solidified on the left. Then we can draft Morgan Moses,tackle , VT. The whole OL issues would be gone having all needs addressed.
1st of all the OL is the main priority fix it first. Go for the best RT OR G thats at pick-19 then the best RT OR G thats at pick-50. Then start filling in the holes for the rest of the team. PHINS have talent on this team but we have to keep TANNEHILL off his back, 58 sacks is way to many and PLUS we got rid of OC-SHERMAN which is probably the best move of all…GO PHINS!!!!!
okay seriously after the Jets grabbing CJ we need Mosley in the first if he is available. If not I would take Shazier (SFL native). Look our division is very run first now as we will face CJ and Fred with Buff and CJ and Ivory with the Jets (combat that with CJ and DJ of Miami, lol) and of course we all know BB and the Pats go run until they can't so that is six games. If our run D returns from last year that could be 6 losses. I love my Dolphins but OL are found in later rounds. We need to worry about stopping a team from scoring since I believe Lazor will easily get our guys scoring 30 points a game. Look it is irrelevant what we all think or say cause the draft will come and we are just bystanders. All I am saying is since FA our worst position is LB.
We could get Mosley at 19 then get Moses at 50, and then at 81 get us a G there should a solid G there at our third pick. But either Martin, Mosley, or Xavier will be a HUGE upgrade.
I don't see us taking an offense of lineman in the first round I say CJ Mosley
John Congemi on the Finsiders today, stated something so well that I've been saying all offseason. Hickey and Philbin will immediately get on the phone as soon as the draft ends, and start bringing in undrafted free agents that you've likely never even heard of. In fact, you probably won't even recognize the schools these players attended. They will be run stopping specialists and pass stopping specialist to play in our defensive backfield. There are a lot of players out there, that are seldom ever talked about or even heard of that specialize in stopping the run. With the Jets, Bills and Pats, stacking their offenses for the run game, Hickey will be filling our defense with players that specialize in stopping what the other teams are preparing to use against us. So if you don't see that safety, corner back or linebacker taken in the draft, that you would have liked to have had, don't worry. Hickey plans on having that player here, just under a different name that attended a different school. Value at little cost is what a UDFA is, and Hickey plans to get the most out of it.
to take a linebacker means ellerbie was a waste of time, and we do not need a tightend we have 3 good ones so the obvious choice is a lineman but which one will be available when we pick cos i doubt we can move up, louis kiley is me 🙂
CJ Mosely on the dolphins is the piece they need to be something in this league
Anthony Barr would be better if he was their when the dolphins pick
Moses (OT) at #19, Easley (DE/LB) at #50, Bitonio or Mewhort (G) at #81, JuWuan James (OT) at #112, Max Bullough (ILB) at #143, Jon Halapio (G) at #174, and Hakeen Smith (S) at #211. Then we can attack the acorns in FA after the draft. This would make our team gooder. GO FINS!!!
I think every week should be competition for a starting role which builds the drive to perform great every play no starting role should be sure every week on the fact that you got paid a fat contract when youdo prove it on the field
Why can't we find some no name guys and make stars out of them on that O line like Bilichec does???

This draft class is so deep in talent, and the Dolphins have the fewest picks I've seen in a while. We need to trade down for more 2nd/3rd picks to fill up this roster. This year there will be starter talent available that late, that's how deep this draft class is.

Construction companies that pay suppliers late are causing hundreds of businesses to go under every month, it has been claimed.
Trade associations representing more than 24,000 businesses are calling on the Government not to use companies with a history of late payment for public works.
A letter signed by the chief executives of the Federation of Master Builders and the Association of Plumbing and Heating Contractors, among others, says that the "widespread, long-standing culture" of paying small suppliers late, or even not at all, has resulted in at least 10 firms going insolvent every day. It says the economy will not benefit from investment in construction unless "the money flows quickly through to the people on the ground".

My Ghost: A Story of Psychometry
Callie has the gift of perceiving an object's stored memories.
"Everything up to 80% off." The wrinkled old lady sadly called at the tinkling of a bell over her shop door. She looked up from applying red stickers over yellow ones on books with still shiny covers to see my familiar face. "Ah, Callie, I was hoping you'd come today."
I gave a polite smile as I passed before ducking into the last aisles. Vivian had been moving her wares forward over the past three months, staying open as long as she could get the bank to hold off collecting on her loans to sell as much as possible. I think she was sleeping here. I suspected they had already foreclosed on her home.
The last aisle held the oldest books, some still covered in dust. The classics were all gone as collectors from the city had driven a hundred miles to grab them the first day they'd heard about her store closing. The books left were a decrepit bunch with old binding and yellow pages: spines all sun-bleached gray but covers bright.
Vivian had taken down the thick curtains that had given the shop a homey feel and moved the comfortable reading chairs for selling. I only just realized they were gone. Sadness swept over me. The store was really closing.
This place had been my home away from home the past 3 years. I could curl up in a chair by the curtained window and dive into any book under Vivian's watchful, but distant eye. She was like a great aunt to me, even giving me quotes as advice and picking out books for me when I had exhausted all the titles I knew. She was a librarian as well as a saleswoman, and more of a guardian to her treasures and wizened old woman than a mother hen. I was going to miss her.
I ran my fingertip across them unfocusing my eyes from their faded titles. The letters were all worn away, anyway. Dust mites flew in a sunbeam across the shelf from the naked windows. Something flashed before my eyes, a face, a handsome young man, but he looked sad, troubled, and brooding. It was a face that stopped your heart and left you wanting to help him at the same time. Then he was gone. Such a clear image for a millisecond: one that I wanted to see again. Maybe if I retraced my steps. I ran my hand back over the spines again, slowly. I concentrated, my entire being desiring to find him.
There, he turned away from me, his dark hair in high contrast to his pale skin. Odd, how he was in black and white, like an old movie. He wore suspenders like in the shows depicting pioneers or the Amish. My eyes were open and I could still see the books on the shelf through the image which seemed on another plane, somehow projected in the air before me, but with emotion, like a dream. A walking dream. He began to fade. I realized quickly that I was tired. I pulled the book from the shelf with me as I sat on the floor. The vision of the man had gone, my body too exhausted with the effort of seeking it to continue the broadcast.
The book was in a plain brown cover, with only the dates 1878-1903, a twenty five year span. The inside cover was sprawled with faded ink, cursive letters stretched out in an ancient hand. O'Neale.
The first page was dated Apr. 3 1878, 'Raining. Father's helping Tulane's barn.' Then there was a poem.
Only you can whisper in my ear
The secrets that I know.
I lied to you, the
Redness in your face was such a disgrace.
Pray god,
My lord please
Help my soul.
My heart leapt. It was like reading the diary of my best friend. I felt guilty, but I did not want to leave this treasure in the store.
"Found something good, Callie?" Vivian's voice startled me, and I clutched the book protectively to my chest, cheeks burning in shame. She chuckled. "Must be really good. Since you are such a good customer, I'll let you have it for free, as long as you cherish it as any book deserves to be cherished." She sighed and her eyes wandered over the bare walls. Her face was sad and dreamy at the same time. Tears pooled just inside her eyelids, not coming out. Her body slightly shuddered with an intake of breath.
I loosened my grip on the journal. "Thank you." After an awkward pause in which I allowed the woman to reminisce, I spoke the truth that she needed to hear. "I'm going to miss you." She gave a smile that didn't take away the sadness, but instead forced the waiting tears to roll down her cheeks. Her face went very red as she tried to stop them and her smile wobbled. She opened her arms and I stood to hug her. My nose stung with emotion I didn't know I held for her. I sniffed to make it stop. She exhaled in a single shudder, thinking we shared the same sadness in our embrace. Her hurt was far worse than mine, and suddenly the hug was awkward. I moved slightly to pull back out of it. She responded, dropping her arms, sniffling and wiping her eyes.
"Are there any other books you'd like to buy?" She assumed her saleswoman visage to clear the awkwardness between us. That's why I loved her. She knew when enough was enough. I turned down another aisle and grabbed a couple random books that looked like sad romantic stories, which was what I was in the mood for, without even reading the jackets. She bagged them and took my money. In a fit of generosity, I told her to keep the change. She nearly wept again as I made a hasty exit before she triggered my tears.

A sniffling sound woke him.
George Weasley wondered if it was Ginny, then he remembered. It was not that Ginny hardly cried nowadays, and Ron was hardly a crybaby, it was the fact that he was sharing a room with Harry Potter. He wondered why... Fred! Fred was dead. Tears sprang to George's eyes at the sudden memory. Fred was buried the day before, beside Remus and Tonks in a cemetery called, Rest O' Second-War Heroes. Wiping the tears in his eyes, George looked over to Harry, who was sleeping none to well.
"No... no... no!" Harry mumbled. George frowned. "Harry?" he murmured. "Remus..." Harry mumbled, "Tonks... Fred... no... Collin... I'm so sorry... please! Don't!" George acted on a brotherly instinct and crept over to Harry's bed. He lifted Harry's lean body and rested the boy's head on his chest the way he and Fred had done to Ron and Ginny when they had nightmares and neither of their parents were close by. Seventeen or not, Harry was still a kid.
"Harry," George soothed, "Harry, wake up," Harry opened his teary bright green eyes. George's heart nearly broke at the sight of them. It was not the fact that they were red and puffy from tears, they were... shattered. The bright green eyes George was used to seeing were lively, serious, happy and strong, now they were shattered and dull.
"Was it that dream again?" George asked carefully. Harry nodded, avoiding George's eyes.
"You must hate me..." Harry mumbled. "What reason would I have to hate you?" George asked. "You know fully well what reason!" Harry muttered angrily, more to himself than George. "Oh? Enlighten me," said George lightly. "I'm the reason Fred got killed..." said Harry quietly. "Really?" said George, "And does beating yourself up help bring him back?"
"What're you...?"
"You know what I'm talking about, Harry," George interrupted, "Fred died, true. But he did not die protecting you. Satisfied?"
Harry was speechless. He bowed his head, "It's still my fault."
"That Voldermort wanted your head on a plate?" said George sarcastically, "Harry, if there's anyone I blame for killing Fred, it's Voldermort and Bellatrix Lestrange, not you."
"I know you too well, Harry James Potter," said George firmly, "Voldermort only killed people to trap you and say all those things to make you dash in front of him to protect us, to prove to him you're not a coward. You are not a coward, Harry, you are one of the bravest persons on earth."
When he saw Harry unconvinced. George gave an exasperated sigh. "Harry," he said, "people died for you because it's their choice. They chose to fight, and died for it. And Harry, that's the truth of life. Everyone fights for something they believe in and many die for it. Fred believed in you and a better future and died for it."
He tightened his hold on Harry, "It's natural that we struggle for what we fight for and it's natural we fall. You know that, don't you?"
Harry nodded.
"You just need someone to tell you this, don't you?"
Again, Harry nodded. He wanted to cry again, but... he was afraid of pity.
"If you want to cry, go ahead," said George, gently ruffling Harry's hair, "You needn't worry about pity, I'll just hold you." Assured by George's words, Harry painfully debated with himself whether to cry or not. He let out a choked sob, afraid everyone in the Weasley household could hear, Harry buried his face in George's chest and cried.
"I couldn't do this in front of Ron and Hermione," he sobbed.
"I understand," said George softly, as he held Harry who began to shake convulsively. Harry cried harder. "God, I'm so sorry!" he yelled into George's chest. "Shh..." soothed George, "Let it all out, Harry, let it all out."
Harry cried harder than ever. He let out the years of neglect, the loss of a good friend, the loss of a godfather, all up to the final battle, which weighed upon him. It all drained away as he cried and cried. George held him like any older brother would. All the years George had known Harry, he had never truly looked into Harry's eyes. They say the eyes are windows to the soul. George thought he saw Harry's soul, but they were pictures. Harry had painted those windows for fear of pity.
He had never seen Harry as shattered as his eyes were at that very moment.
Harry stopped crying after awhile. "You done?" George asked softly, looking down. Harry was asleep. For the first time in days, George smiled. He knew then how much he loved Harry. He had always known that Harry was the younger brother Ron could never have, and now Harry was a brother to him as well. In a way, while George lost a brother, he had gained one as well.
The door opened. George looked up to find his father, peeping in with a worried look. He saw Harry in George's arms, and gave his son a questioning look. "Nightmare, dad," said George, "He hasn't been sleeping very well lately and... he's in a lot of pain." Arthur Weasley nodded, understanding what had occurred by the redness in Harry's eyes. "We would've adopted him if we could, right?" asked George, smiling sadly, "He's practically part of the family..."
Arthur smiled. "Yes, George," he answered, "If things were different, we would if we could." George was not certain if his father's smile was one of happiness or sadness, possibly a little of each.
"I just hope... things will change for the better for him after this," George said at last, tightening his grip around Harry. "I'm sure it will, George," Arthur replied, "I'm sure it will."
A few months later... around Christmas
"Teddy, I'm home!" Harry called into the living room of his house, Hedwig's Nest, which he had named in honour of his dead owl, Hedwig.
"Ayie! Ayie!" a blue grey haired baby cheered, crawling to meet him.
Laughing, Harry picked up his godson and tossed the baby into the air the way Remus would have done. Upon hearing his laughter and Teddy's squeals, everyone, including Andromeda Tonks, came out to see what the matter was. George was stunned at the sight before him: Harry was laughing again!
It was the perfect Christmas gift for everyone.
The last few months have worked wonders for Harry, even if he did not notice it. While Harry did not smile or speak very much, he spent as much time as he could with Teddy. At work, Harry's smile was rarely seen – only saved for Teddy, and Ginny. A month after Teddy came into his life, he not only smiled occasionally, every now and then he would chuckle. But that Christmas holiday, it was the first time in months he laughed out loud.
Looking into the green orbs of the family friend, and soon to be in-law, George decided that things have changed for the better. He looked towards his father, who gave a slight nod as a silent agreement passed between them. Harry's inner light had returned to his green eyes, seeing he smiled more often now. Teddy Lupin was amongst the sources of Harry's happiness. Tears of happiness welled Molly Weasley's and Andromeda's eyes as they watched Harry play with Teddy, being the father the boy would never have again.
That evening, Harry and Ginny, George noticed, disappeared to the back of the house while everyone was busy. He had a pretty good idea what was happening between the two and did not say anything. He knew Ron was already in trouble with them.
About ten o'clock that evening, George found that Harry was nowhere insight. And neither was Teddy. Andromeda last saw them in the living room where Harry was reading a storybook to Teddy. George went to check on them.
George felt his insides warm when he found Harry and Teddy. Teddy's head was on Harry's chest. Harry had one arm around the baby and a book in the other. His head was lolling at the head of the recliner, his glasses askew. His eyes were closed. A warm smile played in his thin lips.
George shook his head and put a warm blanket on them. "Lil' brother..." he muttered softly. He gently took Harry's glasses and put them on the lamp table. He then turned off the light, lightly ruffled Harry's jet black hair, and went to inform Andromeda of their finding before bed.

Asus has officially released Zenfone 3 ZE552KL, a midrange smartphone built for photography. Delectably priced at $498 Singapore dollar, the handset runs on ZenUI 3.0 on top of Android 6.01 Marshmallow OS.
Powered by the all-new Snapdragon 625 octa-core chip means it is a lot more power-efficient than its predecessor. With onboard 64GB alongside 4GB RAM, you can practically perform any daunting tasks put in front of it including gaming, watching movies, editing or taking beautiful pictures, emails, and social media. For sure you can even connect the device to a monitor and use as a desktop computer!
Instead of using industry standard 12-megapixel, the Zenfone 3 is enclosed with four-axis optical image stabilisation to its 16-megapixel rear camera which is pretty impressive for a mid-range device. This feature enables more focus picture to be taken even while moving. You can also expect a more true-to-life selfie photo taken from its front 8-megapixel camera as well.
Asus understands performance is nothing without power. Fuelled by a 3000mAh battery, the ZE552KL can maximise your usage throughout the day; having said that, it is also equipped with USB Type-C that allows faster-charging technology that lets you juice up your battery level up to 60% at only 39 minutes.
The Zenfone 3 will be pricing itself competitively at $398 Singapore dollar for the 3GB RAM, 32GB inbuilt memory and $498 4GB RAM, 64GB variant. Rest assured as Hitec Mobile aim is to enable consumers to enjoy the gadget you desire at a particular rate.
What it comes to design, the thin bezels at 72% screen to body ratio keeps the Zenfone 2 manageable for one-handed use. The brushed metal finishing, together with curved back tapers down to both side to sit nicely in your palm. The concentric circle design gives the phablet a premium look and feel.
