bigmac - Monday, November 28, 2005 - linkActually, this is a clever product and it will generate a fair number of sales in Matrox's traditional marketplace -- Trading Desks.
Here's the problem: What do you do if you need to add another monitor to your desk?
Answer -- Most often, you're already maxed out on monitors and you end up adding another computer (we're talking 8-12 monitors here, guys!). Then you've got keyboard switching (and short term memory) issues. Sure, you could swap out a box for a bigger one that can handle more displays -- but most desks are on two to three year equipment cycles (an awful lot of desks still use W2K for just this reason).
This new Matrox device provides a simple and elegant solution -- just perform mitosis on one of your existing displays -- double the horizontal resolution -- and move and add windows accordingly.
You gamers ought to get out in the real world and see how people make money with computers instead of spending it on them! Reply
Koing - Monday, November 28, 2005 - linkA lot of guys here are making decent money already.
This product is 'purely' for the laptop market imo as far as the gaming idea goes. Guys with a decent enough graphics card to run at least 2048x768 WILL have a dual header already. The projector thing would only be for the laptop as most of the users would have a decent gaming card already.
If the user wanted more space this would be a decent enough product for them.

Fluppeteer - Tuesday, November 29, 2005 - linkActually, if anything, the portable use seems least plausible to me
(although clearly Matrox think different, and presumably they've
done some market research to prove me wrong.) Actually, I should
qualify that; *moving it* seems least plausible. Using it with
laptops makes sense, although rearranging my desktop so that it
sometimes has lots of pixels and sometimes doesn't would drive
me nuts in short order.
I can see that people wanting a multi-screen setup at work might
want to be able to extract their laptop from it, but I'm not
sure what the point of making it portable would be. Although, on
the other hand, why not? :-) I do think the number of people moving
between desks with two spare screens hanging around not already
attached to a computer they want to use (unless these boxes
proliferate) will be in the minority, unless they're also
carrying the monitors.
Treating it as part of the docking station does make sense, though
- so long as you've only got SXGA screens anyway. The idea clearly
has enough appeal that the VTBook guys can sell their dual output
splitter cables.
For desktop use, I don't really consider it a plain dual-head gaming
solution. I *do* think it's a viable triple or quad-head gaming solution,
or for non-gaming multihead markets. It's also a dual head gaming solution
which would work with SLI, if two LCDs float your boat more than a big CRT.
And it would work for small form factor devices with either half-height
cards. Sadly, for all my claims that anything modern should handle it, I
have to eat humble pie and admit that my EPIA's on board graphics wouldn't...
Fluppeteer - Monday, November 28, 2005 - linkIt does seem to be a cheaper option than Matrox's own QID or the Xentera cards;
I'm worried, if anything, that Matrox are poaching their only remaining market!
Only thing is: as someone knowledgeable about trading desks, how much are 17/19"
LCDs still in use? Are people switching up to 20" and larger screens, for which
the DH2Go isn't useful? There's still a price premium to that, of course, but
I see it as a product with a limited shelf life when the market starts seeing
more pixels as a good thing.
I know someone running six Dell 2405FPWs (off one PC) for trading purposes, so
I can independently verify the desire for the desktop space!
We've all been talking about large numbers of heads. Matrox don't seem to support
this, at least directly (from what I read in their support forums, although I
thought I saw something saying this more explicitly, which I now can't find). I
presume the only problem which would arise would be with their Powerdesk software
- can anyone confirm that everything works okay with more than one of these attached?
roontex - Sunday, November 27, 2005 - linkThis will be a big deal for daytraders who need maximum screen space. The price is cheap especially if you are going for > 4 displays. Reply
tjr508 - Friday, November 25, 2005 - link
I guess the biggest question here is can this device really improve your screen real-estate. Being my primary monitor uses somewhere between 300-330 MHz of DAC bandwidth at my resolution and refresh rate, this device would be very useless to me. Since we are talking pre-mm display machines here let's say you have a 300MHz bandwidth as opposed to 400 like today. (I think it would be even lower on a lot of systems (laptops for sure)) I thnik it would be quite liberal to suggest an older card could drive two 1024x768 displays @ 85 Hz. This makes desktop usability out of the question since a base cards stard at around $30. And if I am not mistaken, you would need two displays for a laptop instead of the lcd and an external. Hummmmmm. Then again external LCD's dont need to be refreshed as much as CRT's do so you could save some bandwidth there but this is very pointless.
Anandtech didnt want to come right and say it but I will =)
This thing is useless. Reply
Fluppeteer - Monday, November 28, 2005 - linkIt's not so useful for decent CRTs - if I wanted two 1024x768 screens, I'd have
thrown them away and got a better one which I could drive at 2048x1536. 60Hz
1280x1024 would annoy me on any CRT with any modern phosphor (that said, I'm
running that setup at work out of necessity - and it *does* annoy me). On the other
hand, 60Hz in just fine for all the 17" and 19" LCDs which are so popular right
now. Bit of a shame it's only got the analogue connection, but if you're going for
cheap screens (and haven't just got a 24" instead) then I can see the point in that,
and it avoids the need for dual-link DVI cards for input, for better or for worse.
1280x1024 at 60Hz, according to VESA timings, only needs a pixel clock of 108MHz.
Even doubling that for 2560x1024 is well within the range of pretty much every
plug-in graphics card available in the last 5-10 years; 1024x768 at 85Hz is only
a 94.5MHz clock, and I'm sure cards from longer ago could double that. Laptops and
integrated graphics may be more limited (my older laptops wouldn't cope), but more
modern laptops - capable of 1600x1200 at least - should be fine with it.
More specifically, 1600x1200 at 85Hz needs a faster pixel clock than any of the
stretched modes this device supports. If your spare head can do that, it should
cope. A lot of PCI cards can do that, and relatively few are dual head. Most
cards with any form of dual head capability have some bandwidth headroom - certainly
anything modern does. And you can always go with 16bpp. If this hits the limits of
even the cheapest current PCI cards (other than quad head oddities), I'll be
If anything, it's disappointing that this device can't make use of higher pixel
clocks. Modern cards can often double the 1600x1200 60Hz pixel clock (162MHz for
VESA, without reduced blanking), and four 20" LCDs on one device has some appeal.
I'm not sure what your point about needing two screens for a laptop is. That's
the point of this device, no? Whether this disables the internal screen depends
on the laptop.
It may be useless to you, and I can't deny that a DVI version would have more
appeal (but I'm sure that the majority of customers, without dual-link DVI
graphics cards, would rather have analogue support than nothing - at least,
without a reduced refresh version holding a complete frame buffer). It *does*
have a use, though. Four 17" LCDs, two of these, and a decent graphics card are
much cheaper than a 30" Apple Cinema Display with lower resolution; four heads
here are nearly filling my machine (two on an AGP card, one each from two PCIs);
workstation cards are very expensive to buy lots of (and the PCI ones are slow)
to get the same head count; it *is* an option for all but the oldest laptops,
and cheaper (and potentially faster) than a VTBook.
I think their strong point is the proliferation of 17" and 19" TFTs. From that
point of view, I'm not sure the 1024x768 modes are useful, but since the most
common TFT sizes can't use higher resolutions, being able to use more of them
has some appeal. Sure, dual UXGA would be nice, but there's still a premium for
that. I doubt CRT owners will be quite so tempted - either the refresh or the
low resolution will be limiting (although, as I said, I have to admit to having
a 60Hz SXGA CRT on my desk). I'm not sure about laptops, but I can see its
desktop advantages, and laptop alternatives are at least less obvious.
I'm sure it's got a market, although I'm not planning to get one just yet myself.
I'll be more tempted if they make the DVI one I suggested. :-)
I'm not affiliated with Matrox, btw, lest I sound too keen!
GTMan - Friday, November 25, 2005 - linkI think you are missing the point if you evaluate a product on whether it is useful for everyone. Matrox specializes in niche products particularily for business. So if it is useful in that area then it deserves a thumbs up.
The article ended up giving the product a "must have" and a "nice" combined with "price ... to high", "will have even less need for this box" and "impractical". All the negatives are for people the product is not designed for. Should have left those out. People who want the product don't care about an extra two hundred dollars to drive their expensive dual displays.
DerekWilson - Saturday, November 26, 2005 - linkI think we covered the bases pretty well. We pointed out the fact that this is a niche product and that those who have a need for something like this will be well pleased with the functionality.
But the need for this product isn't huge. I feel very comfortable saying most of our readers will not need or want something like this. I think it's important to let them know that, while there is a curiosity factor associated with the dh2g and gaming, this isn't a product with universal appeal.
Most people who need one more display than they have would save much money dropping in a PCI graphics card on the desktop side. For notebooks, there isn't really another solution for multidisplay, that limits the market even more. The real advantage of the product is that it offers the possibility of fully accelerated overlay and 3d windows across multiple displays.
But the fact is that people who need something like this won't have another option. And this is a good option for them anyway. For everyone else it isn't really worth it. I don't see how a complete review could leave out either point of view. Reply
g33k - Friday, November 25, 2005 - linkhmm I tried 2560x1024 with AOE3 and your right the seperation in between the monitors is to annoying to be useful. Although the game did not appear to suffer performance wise with a 6800gt. Maybe if I got used to playing with two screens, I wouldn't notice it as much. But yeah one large screen wide screen monitor would be way better. I almost never have to scroll with such a large display. Reply
DerekWilson - Friday, November 25, 2005 - linkIf the compatibility list isn't enough, Matrox has a tool here:
Derek Wilson Reply
Fluppeteer - Friday, November 25, 2005 - linkThis thing may be aimed at laptops (and they really ought to think about
a USB power adaptor for that market), but it's not a bad thing for
desktops, too. For laptops, assuming there's some decent hardware
acceleration on board, it's a valid alternative to a VTBook
(http://www.villagetronic.com/e_pr_vtbook.html)">http://www.villagetronic.com/e_pr_vtbook.html) or Sitecom's USB2/VGA
adaptor (or a compactflash VGA card plugged into a pcmcia adaptor...)
and it's a possible alternative to a Colorgraphic Xentera for getting
lots of screens on a desktop.
Matrox, ironically, don't seem to like the idea of plugging two in at
once - but I suspect that just confuses Powerdesk (Erwos - this is
Matrox's software for splitting the screen so that you don't have
problems with the border; only useful for desktop stuff, not games,
but would solve your concerns about how it's treated by Windows).
I don't see any reason why there should be a problem twinning them
I'm running four monitors here, using two PCI cards plus a dual-head
AGP card, and being able to use the AGP card for more than two of them
has some appeal. I'd like the idea of plugging two into an nVidia card
set to vertical span, and having one continuous 2560x2048 desktop (as
opposed to several display devices, from Windows' point of view) which
could be used for gaming - although with the borders in the way. They'd
have to be LCDs, though, or the refresh flicker would drive me nuts.
Presumably, in order for this to work, there must be a (double)
scanline-sized buffer in the device. Just to clarify an issue in the
article, EDID is transmitted from the display device to the graphics
card, not the other way around - so the DH2Go box will send an EDID
to the computer (showing it can do the wide screen modes), but not
to the monitors. I suspect the output mode options are standard VESA
timings, which the monitors will either cope with, or not - it'd take
more intelligence (and a full frame buffer) to handle arbitrary
monitor timings on the output.
To mirror what others have been saying (and there are rumours that
Matrox *are* working on a DVI version), what I'd really like to see
is a box with 256MB of video memory, a dual link DVI input (with the
latest card generation there are lots of people out there with dual
link DVI outputs which they can't use) and two dual link DVI outputs.
The decoder should be simpler if it's just a TMDS receiver (DVI-D).
If there was enough intelligence to decode the monitor EDIDs and
present a total resolution (at a range of timings) to the card, the
device could be a lot more flexible; an on-board frame buffer would
mean, e.g., dual 1920x1200 at single link would work, at reduced refresh,
and that uneven resolutions or refresh rates would work.
It'd bean relying on the highest resolution presented by the monitor's
EDID as being the native panel resolution (*usually* true, except in
one of Iiyama's recent devices), and might require extra intelligence
if analogue outputs were also wanted (probably set a lower refresh rate
limit, and pick a resolution accordingly...), but it could be much
more flexible. Stick a "horizontal/vertical" toggle on the back (*not*
some complex and flakey bit of software to do what a button does better)
and you could daisy-chain them to get a cheap and very large display with
lots of monitors (at low refresh) - hence my suggestion of 256MB rather
than anything much smaller; I'm not sure what the largest pixel count
in a single display is for various devices, but 8192^2 at 24bpp would
fit in 256MB. All it'd be doing is streaming pixels into and out of a
buffer (as fast as either end supports doing it), so the electronics
wouldn't otherwise be all that complex, even compared with the abilities
of your average video card's DACs/DVI outputs.
So the part cost would be up a bit over the "2Go" analogue version, but
I bet it'd sell otherwise. I'd buy one at $200. It might kill the sales
of Matrox's QID products, so unfortunately I doubt they'll do such a
flexible device (or if they do, they'll have to charge more than a third
the price of a QID), but I'm sure there's a market.
Making it all work with HDCP protection would be a bit more complicated,
but I'd be prepared to wait for version 2 for that. :-)
Still, fingers crossed. I'm a bit surprised that Matrox have a patent
pending on this - screen splitters aren't a particularly new idea,
even if I've not seen many products just yet. I hope this doesn't stop
someone else producing a DVI one, if Matrox don't.
DerekWilson - Friday, November 25, 2005 - linkTo clarify, when we wrote that the dh2g reports EDID to the "display device" we were talking about the graphics card not the monitor ... Reply
Fluppeteer - Friday, November 25, 2005 - linkAh, sorry Derek. I'd misread the paragraph talking about the
EP1Cs and CH7301C-Ts as saying that the Chrontel chips were
responsible for the EDID rather than the Cyclone's being
responsible. My bad. "Display device" is an annoyingly ambiguous
Given the high bandwidth of the AD9888 and the fact that many
modern graphics cards have 400MHz pixel clocks, it's a bit of
a shame that 1600x1200x2 (at, say, 75Hz with reduced horizontal
blanking, or standard VESA 60 and 70Hz timings) isn't supported.
It might not be so useful for some laptops, but it'd improve the
desktop situation for those of us with CRTs. Ah well, here's
hoping for the next version...
Big hand to Anandtech for pulling the device apart in such
detail, by the way. :-)
Fluppeteer - Friday, November 25, 2005 - link(Follow-up.)
I mentioned a horizontal/vertical toggle. Come to think of it, for unequal
resolutions, it would be nice to have an alignment toggle too (left/top vs
right/bottom). Just to be complete. I'm presumining the missing areas of the
display would just be invisible (and the price for not using matched monitors),
rather than providing some complicated virtual desktop scheme or trying to
tell Windows about them. You could add "centred" to the alignment options,
but I doubt that's as common.
Now we just have to hope they make it. :-)
erwos - Friday, November 25, 2005 - linkA DVI variant of this would be pretty slick.
I also think that the forced stretching across both screens kills a lot of the device's utility. If they could figure out some sort of driver hack to treat it as two discrete monitors, that would make this infinitely more useful.
-Erwos Reply
Donegrim - Friday, November 25, 2005 - linkNot for games that don't support dual monitors. If a game thinks it's just one big screen, then it wont have any compatibility issues. Reply
DerekWilson - Friday, November 25, 2005 - linkThis is a key point - not many games support multiple displays.
Even if a game does support multiple display devices, performance usually suffers greatly.
Since a 2560x1024 display requires about as many pixels as a 1920x1440 display, we can expect similar performance characteristics between the two modes (if the hardware doesn't have a problem with custom resolutions or aspect ratios).
Fluppeteer - Friday, November 25, 2005 - linkI believe both ATi and (certainly) nVidia have modes which
present both heads on a single device to Windows as though
they were one monitor, which is better for gaming (but
arguably worse for general Windows use) than having Windows
running in "extend my desktop onto this monitor" mode.
This obviously has the problems:
1) The display is likely to be a funny shape which the game
may not support (unless you've got two portrait monitors), and
2) Assuming the monitors are matched, there'll be a bezel right
in the middle, where you want to see most.
However, combining the DH2Go with this feature gives two
options which are more appealing:
1) Use two DH2Go boxes and run four monitors, which is back to
your original aspect ratio (as I suggested in my longer post), and
2) Using one DH2Go box to present three monitors as a single
widescreen display, putting the centre of the action in the middle
of the centre monitor (like Matrox's triple head mode).
Your pick of whether 2560x2048 or 3840x1024 appeals more. :-)
(I run 3840x2400+2048x1536 at home and four horizontal monitors
at work, but not as one display surface.)
This little box is growing on me, as evidenced by how much I'm
posting about it. :-)
wien - Friday, November 25, 2005 - linkSoo.. What if I connect this thing to one of my monitor outputs, and another monitor to my other output. Could I in effect get a triple head system? That would be most excellent for driving- and flight-sims, or any other type of game really. Gaming with dual-head just doesn't work, unless the game is built with that in mind. Reply
ViperV990 - Friday, November 25, 2005 - linkI'd definitely love to see a 1-to-3 solution for some slick triple-head gaming. Reply
Donegrim - Friday, November 25, 2005 - linkOr connect one to monitor out 1, and 1 more to monitor out 2...and have 4 monitors...mmmm...salivating. Although I suppose triple head would be better for getting round the image split down the middle thing.
Or 4 projectors
4 dual link DVI projectors
mmmmmmmm...mortgage required.... Reply
Calin - Friday, November 25, 2005 - linkAnd some of them don't have two "good" video outputs - and in some cases upgrading the video card is the more expensive solution. This would be well for engineering workstations or similar machines that have single outputs and video cards costing hunderds of dollars.
Matrox is used to have limited success (unfortunately), so I hope they will win with this. Reply

Topic: My Hospice experience was not the greatest.....
I considered my hospice team a total failure. It was a bunch of little things that added up, and the worse he got the less they gave.
The last visit we had with the oncologist, they suggested Hospice. AFter admission, it took me almost 3 weeks to get him a simple massage (i hoped for a few times per week) and it was simple. I did them myself after that. Meanwhile he was absolutely falling on his face (not literally tho), declining very quickly. See ya next week was the attitude. I had one of my nurse friends teach me how to give bed baths, she brought a nice bath pack you put in the micro, no rinse and very handy. Hospice sent out a lady with no supplies at all. No nothing. She missed his hand, armpits, feet and said she did not want to do his privates. At least she was nice. Thank God Rick was out of it by then, he would have been so embarrassed. I asked the nurse about the bath pack, she knew nothing about it. I am wondering now if they all just fell off the turnip truck. When I called in the eve shook up , Rick was basically drowning with so much liquid in his lungs, it was spewing out his mouth and nose, they said to give him some opthalmic drops under his tongue (provided in his comfort pack) But I could not even find his tongue hardly. Meanwhile family is upset, I am upset, no hospice help anywhere. I called my nurse friend who does womens health care, she knew more and at least explained what was happening and why and to lift his head a bit. Hospice did call thenext morn and confirmed the weekly appointment for Thurs but he was dead and gone by then. In the meantime I told them I no longer needed the "help" as I considered them not to be any. The socal worker called and asked what the problem was and blamed it on my grief. Before I hung up she said "Mrs Harder, you cannot possibly give your husband quality care if you are mad at us" I promply said "Yes I can and it wont be with you". I wont ever forget her comment. That was after she told me that my friends and family were doing me a disservice by giving me conflicting information. I dont know what I would have done without the advice and help they gave!
There were alot of other red flags, and I started to question myself knowing this is a time when you just want to be mad at something. It did seem to others too that they were a decade behind. I just got no comfort from them what so ever.
I dont believe that my experience is the norm for hospice, but consider asking some specific questions about the services. I hope this helps someone and that your experience is as good as the reputation.

Class of 2014 Begins Seminary Journey: Listen to Orientation Talks
24 August 2011 • Orientation 2011
Our Chancellor/CEO Archpriest Chad Hatfield welcomed 17 new students to St. Vladimir's at the outset of Orientation Week, introducing them to the rigors of seminary life and the "tough formation process" required in preparation for the priesthood and church ministry. In his introductory talk, Fr. Chad urged the freshmen seminarians to keep focused and to balance their inner spiritual lives as they navigate the waters of academic study, communal life, family life, and chapel worship.
"Theology which is alive, an ascetical life which is alive, is not simply found in the pages of books," said Fr. Chad. "An authentic knowledge of God is what's most important for you to acquire in your three years here as a seminarian, and that means being attentive to your own interior life, and that of your wife, your family, and your classmates.
"You're going to find that you will have to carry each other from time to time," he concluded. "Sometimes you'll be the strong one, and sometimes you'll be the weak one. But all of that cannot just simply be dismissed as 'I'm too busy to deal with that'; because if you do, then you will fail at your whole vocation. It is the Evil One who wins."
Father Chad ended his talk by referencing and elaborating on quotes from 2 Corinthians 3:1 and 6:4, saying, "As servants of God we commend ourselves in every way. If our consciousness is not of our own status, but of Christ who has called us to make this journey this day and of the people that we are called to serve in His name, then we will find that our response is not in vain, but one that turns the key to that great journey which is eternal and unending in the kingdom."
The new students represent the jurisdictions of the Orthodox Church in America, the Antiochian Orthodox Church in North America, the Malankara Orthodox Syrian Church, the Russian Orthodox Church Outside Russia, the Ethiopian Church, and the Armenian Apostolic Church. Twelve students are in the M.Div. program; 1 is in the M.A. program; and 4 are in the Th.M. program. With the incoming class, our student body totals 64 this year.

A YOUNG girl stole the show as pop star Jessie J performed on the Other Stage at Glastonbury Festival 2011.
Jessie J hobbled her way onto the stage using crutches after a fall earlier this week and sat upon a giant throne for her performance.
The girl - known as Shaye - was chosen from the crowd by Jessie J herself to sing along to her hit single Price Tag on stage – and the youngster did not disappoint.
Showing maturity beyond her years, the girl matched Jessie J's song word for word and was met by huge applause from thousands of pop fans.
Earlier this afternoon, confident indie band Yuck entertained the John Peel Stage and The Walkmen, hailing from the USA, performed on the Park Stag, and basked in the rare sunshine that emerged this afternoon.
Brit rock legends Radiohead made a surprise performance on the Park Stage yesterday (Friday), and tonight's guest is rumoured to be Pulp.
Coldplay are scheduled to headline the Pyramid Stage this evening, while electronic dance pioneers Chemical Brothers headline the Other Stage.

A DVD about keeping safe in various situations has been created by students and old people.
Pupils from Robert May's School, in Odiham, worked with members of the Young@Heart Club to provide advice on safety concerns that affect all ages, such as computer and mobile phone use and buying goods.
Members of Young@Heart starred in the film, which was scripted, filmed, produced and directed by Robert May's students.
Information was pulled together with help from Hampshire County Council, Hampshire Constabulary, Neighbourhood Watch and Robert May's School Community Liaison and Care Committee.
The premiere of the DVD called Keeping Safe was screened at a launch event in Hook.
The Young@Heart Club was set up after research showed that older people felt, at times, intimidated by youth and that young people did not understand older people.
The club is run by ex and current pupils at Robert May's, who are members of The Base Youth Club, and has successfully bridged the gap between the young and old.
The aim is to roll out the Young@Heart initiative to other schools in Hampshire and the Isle of Wight.
Various guests were at the event to launch the DVD including Hampshire's deputy police crime commissioner, Roin Jarmin, chief constable of Hampshire Constabulary, Andy Marsh, and Hampshire County Council's executive member for adult social care and public health, Councillor Liz Fairhurst.
Chief constable Marsh said: "Keeping Safe is an exceptionally valuable piece of intergenerational work and the students have shown a great deal of compassion, professionalism and determination while working with the Young@Heart Club members to develop this crime prevention DVD. The force is looking forward to promoting this DVD via the website, social media tools and the young Volunteer Police Cadets, as well as supporting the roll of the template around the county to establish similar clubs supporting the elderly and vulnerable in our policing communities."
Cllr Fairhurst added: "Keeping Safe is a truly wonderful example of a collaborative project between older and younger generations. A great deal of thought has gone into developing this DVD to make it relevant and accessible for people of all ages. It offers good advice on a wide range of issues from drug use to home security. Everyone involved should be very proud, and I hope that it will be used by many to spread the word on how to stay safe."

Austin, Jefferson jump to Baylor's defense
Updated 12:16 am, Saturday, January 26, 2013
Cory Jefferson chuckled when asked if Baylor coach Scott Drew emphasized defense during his recruitment.
Isaiah Austin said that Drew talked defense with him before he became a Bear, but acknowledged other topics were discussed.
But once together, the two imposing big men have developed into one of the most formidable defensive units for the 13-5 Bears.
"Tall and long, that's how we like it," Drew said about his "Twin Towers." "They are very disruptive."
Austin, a 7-foot-1 freshman, was one of the nation's most heralded recruits. But the 6-9 Jefferson, who arrived at college weighing only 175 pounds, had to wait three seasons before earning his starting role as a redshirt junior.
The pair has developed a unique kinship while contesting shots in the paint.
"I really can't tell you where it's come from," said Austin, who averages 14.3 points, 8.9 rebounds and 1.38 blocks. "In practice working against each other, we beat each other up almost every day. But once the games come along, we just want to beat other people up."
Sports Channel
Jefferson and Austin have really come along since Big 12 play started, topped by their monster tandem performance in the Bears' victory over Oklahoma State on Monday night.
Austin produced 10 points and 14 rebounds, and Jefferson chipped in with 11 points and 11 boards in a 64-54 victory. Jefferson blocked six shots and Austin rejected five, helping boost an interior defense that limited OSU to 34.9 percent shooting from the field.
It is only the second time in Big 12 history two teammates posted double-doubles in points and rebounds with at least five blocks in the same game.
"Defensively, we just wanted to protect the rim," said Jefferson, who averages 13.1 points, 8.6 boards and 2.33 blocks. "Me and Isaiah feel like we're some of the best shot blockers in the Big 12, and we wanted to come out and let everyone know that."
They did that and more, playing a crucial role in recently transforming the Bears' defense. Their value has been especially critical in conference play, helping the Bears (13-5) to a 4-1 start heading into today's game at TCU.
That mark is marred only by a 66-41 road loss to then-No. 4 Kansas on Jan. 14, a game that still stings for the Bears. In fact, it helped spark their renewed emphasis on defense.
More Information
mySA.com/sports: Get a look at Baylor's own version of the "Twin Towers" — Isaiah Austin and Cory Jefferson.
"We wanted to put on a show, especially after the way we played at Kansas last week," Baylor guard Pierre Jackson told reporters after the Oklahoma State victory. "People tend to say we're soft and can't play defense. Check the numbers. We've held nearly everyone below their average."
The biggest reason has been the two big men.
Since the KU game, the Bears are limiting opponents to 31.5 percent shooting and an average of 46 points per game.
In Big 12 contests, the Bears lead the conference in defensive field-goal percentage and fewest points allowed.
Drew said he has been pleased with his team's defensive growth, but still wants more.
"I know in the non-conference, we were better offensively than we were defensively," Drew said. "So I don't want to jinx anything. But I think we're getting better at knowing how our rotations need to be and what we need to do. And I think players are really doing a good job of listening to scouting reports and following through."

Plans for Kyle Field continue to take shape
Updated 9:51 pm, Wednesday, December 26, 2012
COLLEGE STATION — When Richard Box helped celebrate the Aggies' stunning first sprint through the Southeastern Conference this season, Texas A&M's regents chairman told a crowd of thousands on campus two weeks ago, "I've been made a true believer — and I believe it's only going to get better."
A big chunk of that betterment — in addition to the Aggies finishing the regular season 10-2 and quarterback Johnny Manziel winning the Heisman Trophy — is taking shape concerning the $425 million planned redevelopment of Kyle Field.
"Our goal is to build the best stadium there is for the fewest amount of dollars, and so far we're on track for both," A&M chancellor John Sharp said Wednesday.
The Aggies recently announced Manhattan-Vaughn as their construction partner — a combination of Manhattan Construction Group and Vaughn Construction. Manhattan's résumé includes Houston's Reliant Stadium and Arlington's Cowboys Stadium. Vaughn owns a long history with A&M, with recent undertakings including the Mitchell Physics Building and the Memorial Student Center.
"They're obviously well-qualified," Sharp said of Manhattan-Vaughn, now set to begin working with architect Populous on a conclusive blueprint.
Sports Channel
A&M had hoped to make a recommendation on a final plan to its regents in the fall, but that has been pushed back to later this winter or spring. The project itself, however, is still on schedule to begin in earnest following the 2013 season and ideally be completed in time for the 2016 season.
Some older buildings close to Kyle — including G. Rollie White Coliseum — are scheduled for demolition this summer. What's clear, too, based on the request for proposal (RFP), is A&M, home to about 50,000 students, does not intend to play its home games away from College Station for a season or two, and the seating capacity likely will be more than 100,000.
Sharp declined to discuss specifics on those two items, however, in deferring to a recommendation on the final plan from A&M president R. Bowen Loftin, and regents approval. The rebuild includes a demolition of the west-side stands, the east-side lower stands and the addition of a south-side upper deck, in addition to plenty of state-of-the-art amenities and a grand façade.
A&M, which plans to pay for the renovation through donations to the 12th Man Foundation and bonds paid for by future stadium revenue, also intends to capitalize on the Aggies' recent on-field success — and growth.
"When I graduated from A&M (in 1972), there were a total of 14,000 students," Sharp said. "This year, we just graduated 12,000. I don't think we'll have any trouble with capacity, whatever is decided upon. And with the lowest interest rates we're ever going to see, it's a perfect time to build."
The Aggies will close out their season against 10-2 Oklahoma in the Cotton Bowl on Jan. 4 in one of Manhattan's projects — Cowboys Stadium.

The red Tate Otama is a ladle that can stand by itself. No more need for a spoon rest, this ladle can stand alone with just gravity to support it thanks to the design and balance of its materials. Ideal for making effective use of the limited space available in our kitchens. The designer comments - Cooking space can be limited when living a cramped city life. In order to take advantage of what little space is available and make cooking more enjoyable, I wanted to design a ladle that you can stand up instead of placing on its side. The bottom part of the ladle is flat, but food can still be scooped easily with the curved inside of this new-style ladle. Each freestanding ladle is available in three different colours, this being Red, and is supplied in a presentation box, making ideal for giving as a gift. Approx measurements w72? d82 ? h298mm (max sizes).

THE remaining member of a gang of heroin dealers has been sentenced to four years in prison.
Michael Purnell, 47, of Melbourne Road, York, should have learnt his punishment when Brian Smith, 37, of James Street Caravan Site, and the rest of the gang of heroin dealers were sentenced.
But as he sat in the dock alongside them, he had difficulty keeping his eyes open and Judge Peter Armstrong ordered him to be taken to the cells while the hearing continued.
Later, the cell guards asked for permission to take him to hospital because he was not well. He returned to Teesside Crown Court days later and received a four-year sentence.
The court heard he and another gang member ran a drug-dealing business at his house. Smith arranged to have heroin brought into York from Doncaster and organised couriers to transport it up the A19 and distribute within York, including to Purnell's house.
But after a police operation all the gang were rounded up. Purnell denied a charge of conspiracy to supply heroin, but was convicted earlier this year.
Smith was jailed for nine and a half years for the conspiracy and other charges, the rest of the gang were sent to jail for lesser terms, apart from Smith's wife, Danielle, who received a two-year suspended prison sentence.

We know from social psychology research that a number of factors make it more likely that someone will intervene:
1. They notice the problem and label it as a problem along the continuum of sexual violence. They can see risk factors.
2. They feel responsibility for helping (they see a role to play, they don't blame the victim).
3. They weigh costs and benefits including their own safety. If benefits outweigh costs they are more likely to step in.
4. Do they have the skills to intervene?
5. Have they or others intervened in the past and with what effect?
What in the work you are doing addresses each of these steps in Latane and Darleys model of bystander intervention?

Box Score (PDF)
HANOVER, N.H. -The University of Pennsylvania's young, inexperienced men's basketball team was playing its first Ivy League road weekend, and so maybe it was understandable if the Quakers were sluggish early on Saturday night at Dartmouth's Leede Arena. Even so, after being battered by Harvard on Friday night in Cambridge, it was hard to stomach the team's performance in the first half against the Big Green.
The second half? Another story entirely.
Penn was down 30-18 at the half, but exploded for 49 second-half points to roar past Dartmouth and post a 67-57 win over the Big Green. The victory allowed the Quakers to improve to 3-4 in the Ivy League, 6-18 overall. Dartmouth fell to 6-16, 2-6 in Ivy play.
Dartmouth's lead was still 13 after more than two minutes in the second half, at 33-20. From that point on, Penn outscored the Big Green 47-24.
The catalysts? Freshman Jamal Lewis was the primary culprit. He scored 12 of his 14 points on the night after the break. (To give you a sense of how out of left field his performance came from, Lewis had scored a combined 14 points over Penn's previous 11 games, with eight scoreless outings.) Sophomore Henry Brooks added 10 of his 14 points on the night after the break, while junior Miles Cartwright had nine of his 13 in the second half.
Perhaps the most telling stat was Penn's field goal percentages. After a woeful 35-percent performance in the first half (7 of 20), the Quakers missed their first field goal of the second half. Then they went a staggering 16 of 20 (80 percent) the rest of the way. Penn also shot 19 of 23 from the foul line, including 11 in a row when the game was still in the balance.
It made for a satisfying road win, Penn's second of the season and first in Ivy play. Perhaps the most gratifying part for head coach Jerome Allen was how his team played with poise from the start of its run to the end, unlike its only other road win this season when the Quakers tried to give away the game at NJIT.
Dartmouth scored the game's first eight points, and that set the tone for the entire half. It was nearly four minutes before Penn got on the board, on a Darien Nelson-Henry layup, but the Big Green's lead hit double digits before the game was eight minutes old and bulged as high as 14 before the halftime break.
John Golden made it 33-20 with a free throw early in the second half, before Cameron Gunter hit the second of two free throws. That innocuous point set Penn off on a nine-point streak, though -- Brooks scoring six of them -- and suddenly the Quakers were back in the game less than five minutes into the period.
Dartmouth kept Penn at bay for several minutes after that, the Big Green's lead fluctuating between one point and five points, before Gunter finally brought the Quakers level when he hit a pair of free throws with 6:04 left. Gabas Maldunas missed a shot at the other end, and after Brooks missed a jumper from the left corner Greg Louis snared the rebound and put back the layup for his only field goal of the game and Penn's first lead, at 48-46.
Connor Boehm immediately scored to tie the game a second time, but Penn reeled off the next seven points to gain a lead it would not relinquish. Lewis got the first two points on a layup, and then after Tony Hicks stole the ball Cartwright got into the lane for his own layup. Tyler Melville then missed a trey, a miss that was exacerbated when Lewis punctuated his night with a trey off a Cartwright feed.
Dartmouth got within five points two more times, but that was as close as the Green got.
Maldunas had a double-double to lead Dartmouth, with 19 points and 10 rebounds, while Alex Mitola had 14 points and Boehm added 11.
Penn is back on the road again next weekend, traveling to Cornell for a Friday night game and then traveling to Columbia to face the Lions on Saturday night. Both games will tip off at 7 p.m.
Game Notes: The win was Penn's second road win this season, and its first road win in Ivy League play ... Penn defeated Dartmouth for the seventh straight time and the 30th time in the last 32 meetings, and now leads the all-time series 148-56 ... For the second time this season, Penn overcame a double-digit halftime deficit to win (also the season opener vs. UMBC) ... Penn's 18 first-half points were a season low, but the 49 second-half points were a season high ... Penn shot 56.1 percent from the field in the game (23 of 41), its second-best shooting game of the season (59.6 percent vs. Lafayette) ... Penn set a program low in the Jerome Allen coaching era by taking just eight three-point shots ... Dartmouth shot 35.6 percent from the field (21 of 59), the fourth Penn opponent in the last six games and ninth this season to shoot below 40 percent in a game ... Penn outrebounded its opponent (32-28) for the third time in the last five games ... Penn's bench outscored the Dartmouth bench, 25-2; for the weekend, the Quakers had 58 bench points ... Freshman Jamal Lewis scored 14 points (12 in the second half), two shy of his career high ... Lewis matched his point total for the last 11 games combined ... Lewis became the ninth different Penn player to lead the Quakers in scoring in a game this season ... Sophomore Henry Brooks had a career-high 14 points, his fourth double-figure scoring game this season and seventh at Penn ... Brooks also had five rebounds, one shy of his season/career high ... Junior Miles Cartwright scored 13 points, his team-leading 14th double-digit scoring game this season and 47th at Penn ... Cartwright now has 987 career points and needs just 13 to become the 38th player in Penn history to reach the 1,000-point milestone ... Cartwright also had six assists, his seventh game with five or more this season ... Freshman Tony Hicks tied a season/career high with six rebounds and also had nine points ... Hicks went 4-of-4 at the foul line; he is 13-of-13 in Penn's last three games and has made 15 in a row over the last six ... Freshman Darien Nelson-Henry had eight points; he has scored at least eight in 10 of the last 11 games.

The world was shocked when the Brazilian energy corporation Petrobras (NYSE: PBR) announced in 2007 the discovery of a massive oil deposit.
Buried deep under the Atlantic Ocean, the Tupi oilfield, due east of Rio De Janeiro, was said to contain 5 billion to 8 billion barrels of oil.
Quite suddenly, this semi-nationalized Brazilian oil company became one of the hottest energy stocks in the world. Petrobras' shares tripled in value from the summer of 2007 to the summer of 2008, pushing its stock market value north of $200 billion.
But this story doesn't have a happy ending. Getting to all that oil proved costly, and it's taking a lot longer to generate production than had been hoped. A once-hot energy stock has since cooled off.
In fact, some ETFs directly focus on energy prices, bypassing the companies involved in energy extraction, refining and marketing. Let's take a closer look.
The Blue Chip Producers
The Energy Select Sector SPDR (NYSE: XLE) is a favorite choice for many. This fund charges a measly 0.18% annual expense fee and lets you own a little piece of the industry's best companies. Here's a look at the top five holdings.
The third-largest holding in this ETF, Schlumberger (NYSE: SLB), isn't even an energy producer. The company provides a wide range of services to the top energy producers and tends to benefit when energy prices are firm and energy drilling activity is robust. This fund also owns many of the U.S. firms that are focused on the natural gas opportunities buried in our country's various shale regions.
Other ETFs that focus on energy producers include:
- First Trust AlphaDEX Fund (NYSE: FXN)
- iShares Dow Jones U.S. Energy Sector Index Fund (NYSE: IYE)
- SPDR S&P Oil and Gas Exploration & Production ETF (NYSE: XOP)
The Commodity ETFs
As the Petrobras example shows, exploring for oil doesn't always reap sudden profits. It's a cost-intensive business, and profit growth can be elusive while companies ramp up their capital spending. That's why some investors prefer to own ETFs that more squarely focus upon the prices of oil and natural gas. As an example, we saw natural gas prices rise more than 50% since the spring of 2012, but companies that produce natural gas didn't see their share prices rise nearly as quickly.
[InvestingAnswers Feature: Forget Mutual Funds -- Try This Simple, Low-Cost Alternative Instead]
A quick peek at the U.S. Natural Gas ETF (NYSE: UNG) shows how investors directly profited from spiking natural gas prices.
Just like this fund, there is a corresponding ETF that focuses on crude oil. The U.S. Oil ETF (NYSE: USO) tracks the price movement of crude oil; it delivered robust gains when oil prices shot up in early 2008. Of course, the converse is also true. A sharp pullback in energy prices won't impact the companies' stock prices nearly as much as these commodity-focused ETFs.
Why would a typical investor make such a seemingly bold bet on energy prices? Many people use ETFs like these as a simple hedge to protect other investments in their portfolio. For example, an investor that has a large stake in an airline carrier like Delta Airlines (NYSE: DAL) or Southwest Air (NYSE: LUV) would suffer deep losses if crude oil prices surged and airlines became unprofitable. They'd at least gain some benefit by buying these ETFs, which would rise in price if crude oil prices rallied.
Getting Some Leverage
ETF investors are also moving more aggressively into "2X" or "3X" funds. These funds move at twice or three times the rate of the underlying commodity price. For example, the ProShares Ultra Dow Jones Crude Oil ETF (NYSE: UCO) is a "2X" fund, which means it will rise 20% if crude oil prices rise 10%.

Investors also can position themselves against rising energy prices by buying "inverse" funds, which move in the opposite direction of the underlying commodity price. For example, the PowerShares DB Crude Oil Short ETB (NYSE: SZO) moves in the opposite direction of crude oil prices, while the ProShares UltraShort Dow Jones-UBS Crude Oil ETF (NYSE: SCO) will move in the opposite direction of crude oil prices -- at twice the speed.
Lastly, ETFs that focus on companies operating our nation's energy pipelines have become popular. Many of the companies in this industry are structured as Master Limited Partnerships (MLPs), which means they don't have to pay income taxes at the corporate level. They are known for impressive dividend yields. A popular ETF in this segment is the JP Morgan Alerian MLP Index ETN (NYSE: AMJ), which currently offers a dividend yield in excess of 5%.
The Investing Answer: For many investors, the era of stock-picking is coming to an end. Instead of identifying the best company in an industry, many investors now simply prefer to glean exposure to the best industries. In the energy sector, that's proven to be an especially popular strategy, as investors tire of trying to figure out whether ExxonMobil (NYSE: XOM), Chevron (NYSE: CVX), Petrobras or some other firm will be next year's industry leader. Chances are, most of these firms will flourish in tandem, making the ETF path more savvy.
(Author's note: Two funds cited in this article are referred to as "ETN" or exchange-traded note. They are fundamentally similar to ETFs, though they don't own company stock directly and instead own financial instruments, such as bonds issued by the fund's underwriter).

Walking Dead: The Aftermath.
Episode 5: Possibly the most tense and upsetting hour and a bit of gaming outside of the suicide run on Mass Effect 2, and yes it's pretty short but golly gosh if it isn't one of the best hours of gaming this year too.
I actually feel exhausted and I'm still a little weepy fifteen minutes later.
So, how did it go for you guys?
There was no Ben so he didn't manage to get anyone else killed or jeopardize the life of anyone else further, but Kenny went and sacrificed himself for prego Christa like the total bro he is. That was when the tears started for me. I loved that dumb hick.
Who the fuck chopped their arm off? Figured I was gonna turn anyway and it would help me choke the fuck out of whoever had Clem and I didn't want her to seem me even more hurt.
And urrrgh the awful sick feeling in my stomach when I saw the station wagon, the station wagon. You know which one I mean. Lucky for me I'd taught Clem how to shoot.
Her little blood splattered face was utterly heart breaking at the end. I'm glad she had the brass to shoot Lee though. I actually feel really bad for him. Amazing how the game had you sympathising with convicted murderer. Oh well I hope he's hitting on Carly if Doug hasn't got their first up in heaven.
But yes it does seem like we're guaranteed another season from the inevitable post credits scene. I sincerely hope Telltale upgrade their engine slightly though for future instalments. Surely they have the money to do so after the success and acclaim the Walking Dead has enjoyed. Some real cell shading would be delicious along with some better animation. I may sound like a graphics whore but that's the only thing holding the game back in my opinion, the archaic tech. I'd love to see it in the new Unreal Engine or something similar that is also capable of providing audio that doesn't sound like it was recorded on a webcam. Keep it point and click though, I don't want an action game, just more BLEAK.
WHAT!? Fuck, I quit during the credits and missed the scene. Now I can't seem to watch it without playing the episode again, which just feels wrong.
We seem to have played quite differently.
There was a Ben. Needless to say, Christa wasn't the cause of death for Kenny, but he got it anyway. It's kind of Ben's thing, you know.
I chopped Lee's arm off! [TV-series spoiler] I knew it could work. [/spoiler] Still choked Daddy.
And yeah, I totally can't wait to see what happens if I leave the station wagon alone. Daddy was such an important part of the plot. Do they replace him with someone else you've wronged or do the gang decide to loot the car against your wishes? I'll find out next play-through.
Oh, and my Lee convinced Clem to leave him. She shouldn't have to do it. Besides, every bullet is important and she might need it later.
I told her to meet up with Christa and Omid by the train.
Awesome game, great finish!
EDIT: Apparently, that post credits scene had an achievement. I guess it's not enough for me to know it, I have too see it too.
EDIT 2: Budged and decided to play through the episode again. Luckily, I just had to do the last sequence again, so I played it identically. Cutscene watched! Achievement un-gained..

Hacked off Lee's arm, because hey it sounded like a good idea, and the TV says it works? Couldn't believe it when I found out the cancer patients made off with the boat... also had to laugh a tiny bit at Brie coming back. Can anyone remember if she had that gaping abdominal wound that she got left with when they started eating her last time? I didn't look too closely, just curious about a possible continuity error.
Ben was around, got himself fucked up, and Kenny took one for the team (pointlessly, needlessly!) leaving myself, Omid and Christa to continue on. When I saw the station wagon I couldn't believe it. I had my suspicions that it might have been somewhat more significant when it appeared in the opening sequence, but I still pretty much thought it was just character building.
Clem sank a meat cleaver into the Stranger's arm and Lee throttled him. Shot him to make sure he wouldn't come back. I made Clem shoot Lee. Told Clem to go with Omid and Christa because... well, who else?
As for the end credit sequence - god damn it I watched that thing all the way through to the end, and I didn't get the achievement.
All in all, absolutely fantastic series! I loved the characters and how it was still largely a morally grey game that didn't boil down to "Pick the red action for an evil line, pick the blue one for a good line, with blatantly obvious consequences!" Lee might be my favourite protagonist in a long time. They really need a better engine though... the animation sequences glitch up a fair bit for me, with models jerking around sometimes. Graphically I don't mind the art style though, it's like playing through a comic book.

Apparently the achievement on Steam is bugged. I didn't get it either. But its worth watching none the less, if only for just more tears.
So did (could?) Lee survive or not?
Not gonna lie. I cried.
Spoliers in the next bit:
I got separeted from Omid and Christa by the crossing of the sign. I went first and told them to wait by the train. Seeing as she's along in the last post credit scene I guess she didn't find them? Anyone who knows?
What an absolutely stunning effort by TTG! I've been really happy to have played this game and now I'm emotionally drained.Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory since 1982.
I think I had the same ending scene as Stellar Duck. Anyone get anything different?
Well you see
Omid and Christa walking in the distance.
Well, someone at least. I'm thinking that it's probably the same for everyone. That way, we have a canon ending, thus making it easier to launch a second season with only details differing.
I have no words, I am emotionally drained. Great series.
As for the graphics PZ mentioned, I don't mind average graphics but at least make it consistent, character models look fine but non interactable objects are like a blur made out of super low textures. Then again some zombies look fine and others are low texture. Really strange stuff that I hope will be fixed, I also hope season two will be more of a point and click adventure.
Also seems like the last achievement didn't activate, curses!
Now for some spoilery decisions!
I chose to tell Clem to leave and not shoot me in the face, bullets are better saved than wasted and I still had a little bit of hope I wouldn't die and somehow get out or survive.
I also killed that motherfucker who took Clem, I'm not sure if they did it intentionally but the whole chopping the arm and that creep having a bowlingballbag with a head looks like a nod to the Walking Dead comics.

I'm guessing it's because she can't tell, but from the silhouette it's heavily implied it's them

I feel like I just ran a marathon. God this game.
I'm not going to lie. There were tears. I mean, obviously, I didn't cry. But someone in the room did.
While I was playing Walking Dead. By myself.
I need to watch a sitcom to cheer me up.

I certainly teared up, and have done so for the last three episodes at certain points. It was a fantastic ending as far as I'm concerned, and looking forward to a season 2 (and Sam & Max season 4!).
As for choices:
I decided to cut my arm off for starters, not read the comics and only seen the first season of the TV series so I wasn't sure what effect it would have, and at least the others would know they survived and ran into something similar. Ben didn't decide to join me at the end of Ep. 4 but when escaping the mansion he fell and Kenny did what he could for him. I had to leave Omid and Christa when the sign fell. When I first saw the station wagon I wasn't certain but had guessed what was going to happen. Ended up killing him after Clem whacked him with a lamp, I didn't know you had a choice but wanted to kill him anyway (I'm very protective of Clem). I told Clem to shoot me, I was worried about wasting the bullet but felt Clem needed to do the same way I made Kenny shoot Duck, and Lee kill his brother, its something you'd regret if you didn't, and will help prepare her for the world. Convinced it was Omid and Christa in the background, and I'm really hoping that Season 2 involves a 19-year old Clem leading a camp of survivors, strong female character making tough decisions and being able to take care of herself and others, would be one of the best written characters I'd see for years.

I think we'll see more of Clem because she was remembering things right up to the end of the game, but I don't think we'll see her as an adult, possibly an early teen at most though more than likely just a year or so older.
Do we really need to hide spoilers? Who in their right mind would click on a thread called "Walking Dead: The Aftermath" before finishing the game?
Anyway, on to my choices:
Even though I knew cutting Lee's arm wouldn't save him I was really curious to see how they'd handle it and was not disappointed. In fact, it was done so well halfway through my playthrough I began thinking it might be one of those non choices that happen regardless of what you pick. It is kind of weird how the other characters still just stand around and wait for the one armed half-dead guy to solve their predicaments, but at least they comment on that.
Ben is a really interesting character. Most stories don't use someone like that unless he ends up having a moment of redemption, but Ben managed to fuck up every single time (Even causing Kenny's death in his final moments).
Speaking of Kenny's death, that's my biggest complaint with this episode. It was a really dumb and unnecessary sacrifice given the state Ben was, and we can't even rationalize it as him committing suicide since he raged about the couple and his wife in the previous scene.
Wish they didn't make Clem's kidnapper full on crazy. He was almost becoming likeable and a decent new ward for her, but then he started talking to the severed head in the bag...
The final moments were perfect. The relationship Lee and Clementine built during these 5 episodes is one of the most endearing I've seen in a game, and I got real close to tearing up when she meekly said "but I'm so small..." after Lee said she'd have to leave him. Wish it didn't have that post-credits scene, though, as it would make sense for the game to end when Lee died since he was our sole POV through the game.

I have. After hearing so many good things about them I wanted to see if the general feeling was if the ending was up to scratch or not.
Glad to see it is, though part of me kind of wished it wasn't to see how that changed the perception of the game. After all with Mass Effect 3, the ending ruined the preceding 30 hours for many people. I'm wondering if that would still happen for an episodic series where people have already been reacting and talking about how awesome it was for 5 months.

CALDWELL -- Virginia A. Long, 93, formerly of Noble County, passed away Saturday morning (Feb. 9, 2013) at Traditions at Mill Run in Columbus.
She was born Jan. 1, 1920, in Washington County, daughter of Earl and Erma Feiock Wooster.
She grew up in Warner, and graduated from Lower Salem High School, class of 1938. After graduation, she attended business school in Columbus, where she met her future husband, Lewis W. Long, of Dexter City. They were married in January 1940 and enjoyed over 66 years together. When Lewis joined the Marine Corps in 1944, for service in World War II, Virginia returned with her two children to Noble County, where she lived for the next 66 years, first in Dexter City, and later in South Acres, Caldwell.

For more than 40 years, she and Lewis vacationed twice annually at the Outer Banks, N.C., routinely accompanied by their beloved pet. She was a great animal lover. After moving to South Acres in 1968, Virginia's favorite pastime was visiting her neighbors and walking the neighborhood. She loved the outdoors, and considered her neighbors to be dear friends.
In addition to her parents and husband, she was preceded in death by a daughter, Susan Roach.
Surviving are her son, Mike (Pam) Long of Columbus; grandson, Matthew (Laura) Long of Arlington, Va.; great-grandchildren, Meghan, Amanda and Joshua Long; grandson, Nathan (Tiffany) Long of Cincinnati; great-grandsons, Ethan, Owen and Gavin Long; grandson, Adam (Amy) Long of Chicago, Ill.; great-grandson, Grayson Long; granddaughter, Jennifer (Lee) Offenberger of Marietta; great-grandchildren, Lyndsay and Ryan Offenberger; extended family, Phil (Linda) Roach of North Carolina, and their children, Michael (Susan) Roach, and their children, Jack and Lily Roach; and daughter, Alison (Nate) Banchiere and their children, Sophia and Berkley Banchiere.

26 January 1894 — Genoa, Nance Co., NE
On Friday morning, January 26, 1894
Mr. Swan Johnson, of heart failure, in the 68th year of his life.
Last Friday morning the sad intelligence was brought to town that Swan Johnson a widely respected citizen, living about a mile west of town, had suddenly died of heart failure. No one witnessed his dying moments, and it is thought that he passed away without a struggle, as his features were calm and peaceful.
The deceased was born near Skane, Sweden, Feb. 28, 1826. He was married in 1854, and moved with his family to Chicago in 1868. They again moved in 1878, and this time located in Platte county [NE] where they remained about a year, prior to taking up their residence west of Genoa.
The deceased has been for 54 years connected with the Lutheran church and always showed a true christian character, and on all sides can be heard words of regret at the loss of this good man. He was a loving husband, a kind father and a benevolent neighber, [sic] and was greatly loved and respected by all who knew him.
He leaves a wife and a large family of eleven children to mourn the loss of the greatest of all earthly friends.
Funeral services were held Sunday afternoon at the M. E. church. The house was filled to its greatest capacity, which testified to the high esteem in which the people held the deceased. Rev. McReynolds spoke words of comfort to the bereaved family and friends, and paid a glowing tribute to the memory of their late father and companion. After the services, the remains were conveyed to the Genoa cemetery accompanied by a large number of his late friends and neighbors, and all that was mortal of Mr. Johnson was laid away to rest, there to await the resurection [sic] morn.
The bereaved family have the sympathy of the whole community in the loss of one who was near and dear to them.
-- An unknown paper, probably from Nance Co., NE, after 28 Jan 1894.

ENVILLE Athletic lifted the Midland Combination Challenge Vase by beating Coventry United.
They caused an upset in the final by winning 3-1 at Chelmsley Town on Saturday, May 10 in front of 350 fans.
Coventry's previous free scoring football was halted by an Enville team whose determination to win was apparent from start to finish.
Enville took the lead on the half hour mark when Dan Williams met a corner to head home.
Their advantage was doubled ten minutes later when Sam Burda bagged a great solo effort.
Williams again struck 20 minutes into the second half by hitting a volley to ensure Enville tasted cup glory.
Coventry got a consolation when Jack Jeys converted a 78th minute penalty.

Topic: Knee surgery for me!
As many of you may know I've been suffering with left knee pain since August of 2011. I'm going in for surgery next week Thursday. Yippee! I never thought that I'd be excited for surgery, but hopefully I will be able to walk correctly again. I went to another orthopod and he did an MRI and I have two torn meniscus' and a chunk of bone in the knee. I will be off work for a little over a week.
I had to go back to my PCP for a pre-op physical and I told him that if he ever tried to send my back to the first ortho doc, then I was going to fire him as my PCP. He told me I was the third person in 2 weeks to complain about that ortho, so he is NOT going to refer patients to him any more. YES! The guy just was NOT a good doctor.
Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Bethesda has done a third podcast, and this one is all Fallout talk, including some questions Jason Bergman answers. Fallout: New Vegas has been completed on all console and PC versions and has been shipped out to the manufacturers! Just 18/21 more days!
Also, in this podcast the computer specs are released. If you can run Fallout 3 on your PC, you will more than likely be able to run Fallout: New Vegas even though the specs for New Vegas have been bumped up slightly.


text: Hope y'all forgive me for my non-grilled dinner, but it was so good I wanted to share it. I'm sure somebody could figure out how to do this on a grill (I bet I could if I put my mind to it), but after coming home from work, doing yard work in 100+ temps (had to get it done before the MIL comes this weekend) I just didn't feel like firing up the Egg. I've never seen a green tomato in a store before, let alone fried one, but when we spotted some this weekend, I immediately thought of making a BLT but with a fried green tomato. Sounded like it would work and let me tell you....it did! Simple dredge in flour, then egg wash and then corn meal that had some salt, pepper and a bit of cayenne and fried at 375 ish. Not to difficult, but so worth it. Anybody else ever make these?

Editor's note: This market commentary is provided by the Dairy Division at FCStone in Chicago, Ill.
A holiday week begins ― and what a way to start it off with a rally across the dairy complex. Cue the fireworks!
The Class III market started the week off with prices climbing the most in the 3rd quarter than they had since June 5. The 3rd quarter pack average settled out the day +0.50 to $18.15. July and August contracts were the benefactors of not only the most volume on the day, but also the largest price increases with July gaining 49 cents on 506 trades and August gaining 56 cents on 627 trades.
High temps in the western U.S. and already reported losses of production due to the extreme heat in the area were the main catalysts for the move pre spot. We had heard reports of producers out West losing anywhere from 5 to 9 pounds of milk per cow since the heat rolled in, and expect to see more of this as the heat hangs on for the next few days. We are officially into summer, folks, and while this is supposedly a short-term heat wave and temps are to moderate more by the weekend, we are reminded that there is a lot more summer to come and we may see more of these events as time rolls by.
A one-day breakout does not a trend make! It is understood that we were much oversold coming into yesterday's trade, and we were due for a bounce. Remember that we have already had two bull bounces over the last two months that have led to ultimately lower prices. Let's see if or how much continuation we get before we get on the bandwagon and start calling for $20 milk. It would be prudent, however, for those that have not locked up anything for the 4th quarter to get some cheap floors in now while you can.
Spot session results:
Block cheese: $1.64 (up 0.25 cent)
Barrel cheese: $1.61 (up 1.25 cent)
Grade A NFDM: $1.73 (unchanged)
Butter: $1.4775 (up 5 cents)
Grains opened the week with a continuation from Friday's session with old-crop corn moving higher and new-crop moving lower, but not markedly so. Around 11a.m.Chicago time, we saw a big shift in sentiment as July corn fell off of the highs and moved markedly lower on the day. The July corn contract went from $6.9000 to settle at $6.5550 down – 23.75 cents on the day and July beans went from their high of $16.0425 to $15.7050 to close up 6.00 cents on the day. While export inspections were a bit above estimates, that did very little to move the market. It was reported that numerous interior U.S. corn basis values were falling. We heard reports of 10 to 20 cents lower in the central Midwest, which spurred on a sell-off in old-crop corn pulling other contracts off their highs, as well. Funds continued to liquidate positions today as well in corn and beans. Since Friday, funds have liquidated 39,000 contracts in corn and 12,000 contracts in beans.
This morning, we look for a slightly higher open across the board.

Vaginal bleeding during/after intercourse
I am a 60yr old woman.I had a hysterectomy in my early 40`s & went through the Menopause in my early 50`s. For the past year or so l have experienced slight bleeding during & after instercourse & as l am in a fairly new relationship l find this both alarming & embarrasing. I have used KY jelly to see if this would help but it does not seem to have made much difference & am now trying Replens. What is realy worring me is why this should be happening....HELP.
If you are experiencing pain at the opening of the vagina, you may have a fissure that is opening each time you have intercourse. You could check with a mirror to see if that is the case, or have your partner check. Some women have a polyp at the cervix that can bleed with intercourse. That generally requires a pelvic examination with a speculum. Other less common problems can also cause bleeding with intercourse, so if the bleeding persists, you should see your physician.
