Chelsea Handler on off limits jokes
Chelsea Handler sees ugly children and death as off limits joke wise.
The talk show host and comedian is famed for saying pretty much whatever she wants, although there are some issues which are a step too far for her.
"Well, I don't think it's nice to make fun of ugly children – that's just kind of really mean," she told Britain's Heat magazine. "Or people that are dying. I mean, obviously, it can be funny way after somebody's dead, but if somebody is actually dying, I think that's off limits. So: ugly babies and death."
Aside from that, Chelsea sees life as an open playing field. Some comedians prefer not to wade into political debate or be overly critical of others, but that is never going to cut it for the 40-year-old star.
"I think in order to have honest conversations you have to put it out there," she said. "I mean, you know as an interviewer, that it's not interesting for people to not talk about real stuff or what their opinions are. Being politically correct all the time is boring."
On top of this, Chelsea won't be bullied into apologising for jokes just because some have found them offensive. It's something she feels strongly about, and she's yet to say something she regrets enough to withdraw.
"I think if you start apologising a) you have to apologise every time, and b) be smart enough to say something that doesn't warrant an apology," she noted. "You have to be thoughtful about what you're saying. You can push boundaries, but you can't be completely disrespectful.
"I just choose not to go down that road. I just won't. God forbid I ever say something terrible maybe I'll change my mind. But in my opinion, as long as I'm OK with it, I'm not going to kowtow to people that are expecting an apology from me."

Mixbook Kicks Off Summer With Outdoor Photography TipsTips From Mixbook on How to Capture This Summer's Unforgettable Moments (May 22, 2012)
PALO ALTO, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 05/22/12 -- Mixbook, the online photo book service that offers the most customizable photo books and photo cards on the planet, announced today tips on how to capture summer memories. Summer creates many great photo opportunities, but also picture-taking challenges. Mixbook has tips on how to avoid common photo-taking challenges, such as lighting, blurriness, candid photography, and more.
Mixbook's blog, Mixblog, helps make your summer of adventure last a lifetime. Here is how to navigate common photo-taking problems that may occur this summer:
- Photography Dos & Don'ts - Although it's often said the only rule to photography is there are really no rules, there are still some helpful guidelines to better enhance even the most simple snapshots.
- Rule of thirds - envision an imaginary grid - 9 equal squares - now align your subject on one of the two vertical gridlines, adding balance and interest to your snapshot.
- Viewpoint - try shooting your subject from above, far away, or very close up to create a major impact.
- Framing - use trees and other natural elements to frame your photo and isolate the subject.
- Shutter speed - never be afraid to experiment with shutter speed to convey motion. Slow creates blurry, and Fast creates stop-action clear.
- Don't be afraid of the dark - During summer, some of the best photo opportunities happen at night at campfires and 4th of July fireworks. However, photographing at night creates challenges.
- Take advantage of the night sky - use the street and moonlight to help light up your subject.
- Turn off the flash on your camera to enhance the natural light.
- Embrace the blur - experiment with moving cars and flickering candles, but try to stabilize your camera, and/or use a one-touch-timer button.
- Use water to reflect light.
- Take advantage of candid action - Everyone takes fantastic posed photos but this summer, work on your action shots. Whether it's a summer time baseball games or a swim meet competition, here are tips on capturing candid shots.
- Make a point to catch people in action - some of the best pictures are when subjects are unaware of the camera.
- Do not use flash - it can take away from the natural background and make the image look less candid and more posed.
- Take your camera or camera phone with you everywhere this summer - keep your camera/phone chargers with you at all times.
- Zoom options - when zooming you lose the quality of the subject. Take your photo with minimum zoom, and then use the zooming and cropping function inside Mixbook's photo book editor to enhance.
- Experiment with your shots - don't be afraid to take too many photos -- rule of thumb: take 3-5 photos of each subject.
- Bring summer vacations photos to life - Don't lose track of all those great photos, keep them organized with photo books.
- Upload hard copy photos - scan and upload copies to your free Mixbook account
- Fill an entire photo book with just one click - using Mixbook AutoMix magic wand tool.
- Choose from a wide variety of summer-themed photo books - including camping, summer days, cruise, and destination styles photo books.
To kick off the summer, Mixbook is having a national Dad's Got Talent Contest. Upload a photo of dad's hidden talent, and through the power of social media, rally for votes to win the $1,500 grand prize.

Fig Preserves
READY IN: 1hr 25mins
Recipe by Diana Adcock
This recipe is posted by request.
Top Review by KitchenGossip
Delicious! I didn't follow the recipe exactly, instead, melding suggestions from other readers. I cut the figs in half and used lemon juice only so that I wouldn't have to process the figs. It turned out beautifully. Had it on toast with cream cheese, and will use it for a pork loin stuffed with goat cheese and fig preserves.

Cloud Hype Rant
A few years ago, I read an excellent article in Wired magazine titled "The Thin Pill":
"FOR PATIENTS, disease puts a name to an affliction. It answers that question we all face at one time or another: What's the matter with me? If there is a clear and precise explanation for what's wrong, then surely there is an equally clear way to get better."
"Cunningham is among the first wave of Americans to be diagnosed with metabolic syndrome, a condition that, though only concretely defined five years ago, is now said to afflict as many as 75 million Americans...Metabolic syndrome is, in fact, almost indistinguishable from obesity – at least 85 percent of those who have the syndrome are obese or overweight.
"The tidiness of that correlation makes it tempting to view metabolic syndrome not as an emerging fact of medicine, but as a fiction, wholly devised and disseminated by the pharmaceutical industry. After all, drug companies have long eyed obesity as the ultimate growth market -- and they just happen to have an arsenal of pills poised to target it."
I see some parallels in all of this cloud hype: The diagnosis is that your enterprise is spending too much on capital outlays for hardware; the cure is to pay a subscription fee to us services providers instead!
In an InfoWorld article, David Linthicum has a great bit from Miko Matumura:
Miko is referring to the fact that "cloud," as a term and a symbol, has long referred to portions of the architecture you didn't want to explain. As Miko says, "Basically whenever someone didn't feel like drawing all of the network entities, they would just draw a puffy white cloud. In essence the puffy white cloud is shorthand for 'don't worry your pretty little head about this stuff.'" He's right about that, and also the fact that many considered "clouds" to be where the "miracle" occurs in the architecture. That was a running joke for years.
While it's told as a joke, I find this to be incredibly reflective of what I encounter when it comes to the cloud and non-techies: it's supposed to be some miracle pill that fixes all of our problems; don't worry about the composition, just take it and trust us, you'll feel better. And it is exactly this foggy perspective that is cluttering this space with hype.
(With Matumura's anecdote in mind it's hard to ignore the parallels of the hype of this movement with the hype and mass shift towards outsourcing a few years ago: take your development and technical resources and make it an abstract, "puffy white cloud"...that's a topic for another rant.)
What makes the matter all the worse is that the term cloud computing is as nebulous as the name implies. Jon Brodkin at NetworkWorld.com writes:
I just performed a quick search of the archives on PRNewswire, and found 204 press releases mentioning the word "cloud" from the past 30 days. My e-mail inbox is full of cloud pitches, some of them useful, some of them not. A company called 3tera claims on the front page of its Web site to offer "the industry's only cloud computing platform." Really? It's the only one?
Other vendors are trying to confuse the definitions of the various types of cloud computing. The phrase "private cloud" seemed strange at first, but by now most people agree that it refers to some kind of highly virtualized, internal network with lots of self-service attributes, essentially an Amazon-like cloud designed by a business for its own users.
One of the key attributes of a private cloud is that it's run within your network – it's not outsourced. But that didn't stop Rackspace from claiming that it now offers "private clouds," hosted in the Rackspace infrastructure. In other words, Rackspace is offering hosted data center services, similar to what they have always offered, and are now using the phrase "private cloud" to make them seem different and new.
Quite honestly, I'm sick of the hype and the excessive overusage of the term "cloud". Are there tangible benefits to cloud-style application architecture? Sure, you bet. But I think it's important to sit back with a healthy dose of skepticism and evaluate how much of what's out there is hype and how much of what's out there is actually useful and cost effective.
With specific regards to Microsoft's Azure, the time I spent with it was anything but pleasant: the documentation was lacking, the account and service management web interfaces were horrible and clunky, and the community knowledge is simply a void (but admittedly, this was early in the beta). As I've seen with SharePoint, Microsoft has a habit of over-selling and under-delivering. With two successive clients, I've found a consistent pattern of being sold a capability as "out-of-the-box" only to find that while you could do it, out-of-the-box, it would hardly be a productive or friendly user experience to do it that way. My perspective is that as the current state of the platform comes into focus, it'll play out much the same way and we'll find that business folks, sales folks, CEOs, and CTOs will have to face the reality of an immature platform that's not yet worthy of the hype.
At least from my perspective, it's always better to under-sell and over-deliver; whether it's the fault of the vendors or not, the current hype is leading us down the opposite path, at least in the near term.

Tara Bahrampour
Washington Post Staff Writer
Monday, November 16, 2009 2:00 PM
Smar Abuagla, 13, an 8th grader at Langston Hughes Middle School in Reston, started wearing the hijab, a head scarf worn by Muslim women to fulfill a religious requirement for modest dress, this summer. Back at school in the fall, reactions from her peers ranged from compliments to affectionate teasing and even derogatory taunts.
Boldly modest declaration of faith (Post, Nov. 15)
Washington Post staff writer Tara Bahrampour will be online Monday, Nov. 16, at 2 p.m. ET to discuss Abuagla's story.
Tara Bahrampour: Hi everyone, I'm looking forward to your questions and comments about the headscarf story.
Washington, D.C.: I thought this was a great story -- one that was nice for the Post to profile. But, I think it leaves out a very important point: that the U.S. is one of the BEST places to be a Muslim expressing one's faith in the Western world.
The wearing of head scarves is COMMON in most major urban areas in the U.S. Middle school is a tough time for MOST people, and SADLY anything that makes one stand out could incite teasing, and in some cases bullying.
I also thought the one sentence insinuating that Muslims have been killed in the U.S. (presumably for just being Muslims) was left hanging in the article. To say something that serious without backing it up calls into question the entire article. If there are people who have been murdered in the wake of the 9/11 attacks for their faith, and for their faith alone, I would expect a paper like the Washington Post to report on these hate crimes and make sure its readership knows details about such awful events the way European papers have reported on the murders of Muslims in their countries.
Tara Bahrampour: Hi Washington, thank you for your comments, and I'm glad you liked Smar's story. I'll start with your last point first, about incidents of Muslims being killed and/or harassed after 9/11. There were some incidents around the country of people being killed and these were classified as hate crimes - they were either Muslim or in a couple of cases they were Sikhs, wearing turbans, who were mistaken for Muslims. The major presses reported on them at the time, and Muslim organizations have lists of the incidents.
However, you make a good point that it is much easier to be Muslim, wear headscarves, etc in the US than in many other predominantly non-Muslim/Western countries. Smar and others like her can usually wear headscarves, pray, and show their faith in other ways at school without problems.
Durham, N.C.: Thank you so much for your wonderful article. My granddaughters, ages 12 and 14, both wear hijab and scarf. Like Smar, they are very bright and engaged with the world around them. How did you happen upon writing about her story?
Tara Bahrampour: Thank you - I'm glad you liked it. I came upon Smar with the help of her mosque, the ADAMS center - I had worked with them before on other stories so I told them I would like to follow the journey of a young woman making the decision to wear the scarf for the first time. Luckily for me, they came up with the perfect subject for my story, and she and her family agreed to participate.
Olney, Md.: Smar seems like a very nice young woman who believes in an Islam that is a religion of peace. However, what does she think about a religion that forces women to wear not just a head scarf but to be fully veiled with only her eyes and hands visible? I once saw a little girl maybe 6-8 dressed that way, and it broke my heart. It's just not right.
And what about the "honor" killings that are still so prevalent not just in Muslim countries? In a related article in the Post, a man in Toronto killed his 16-year-old daughter for dressing like a normal Canadian teenager. How can anyone feel anything but horror over that?
Tara Bahrampour: Smar and her friends, as well as her family, were in agreement that the hijab was something a woman needs to decide on her own, without being forced to, and at an age where she is old enough to make the decision for herself. However, I know there are some women who are forced to wear it, either by their government or their families, and when I talked with them, they found this troubling. One of them commented that if the hijab is pushed too hard on someone who doesn't want to wear it, the pressure could backfire and the person might be pushed away from religion in general. I think Smar's family was careful to let her make the decision, though they were also clear that they would like it if she wore it. So yes, there is some pressure in that, but it is not force.
As for honor killings, in my years reporting on Muslims I have never met anyone who has condoned them.
Tampa, Fla.: In his book, No God But God, Reza Arslan argues that Islam does not require women to cover their hair. He argues that the language in the Koran, as understood in the 7th century, says women should cover their hips.
Has this issue arisen in the U.S. Muslim community? Are they sure they're not really following Arab social customs instead of the Koran?
Tara Bahrampour: Thanks for your question, Tampa. And this echoes a couple of other questions, so I'll address the topic here. There is disagreement among Muslims as to whether or not the Koran actually requires women to cover their heads. I have met very religious Muslim women who don't cover, and I have met others who feel they are not following their faith completely if they don't. There are also many different degrees of covering, from head-to-toe to a light scarf that reveals much of the hair. As I think you were pointing out, some of the differences are cultural. And there are many different Islamic traditions in the world, and they themselves go through many phases. So it's hard to say definitively what Islam ordains regarding hijab because it can vary.
Reston, Va.: I enjoyed your article very much. My daughter is also an 8th grader at Langston Hughes. I was surprised you didn't include any statement from our Principal, Aimee Monticchio. Did you contact anyone from the school for your article? Thanks.
Tara Bahrampour: Hi Reston. Thank you so much, and how wonderful for your daughter to attend LHMS - it is a very diverse and open place. Of course I talked with Aimee as well as others from the school, and we were there with their blessing. But the story was about Smar, and aside from giving us some statistics I think the school administration preferred to have her be our main focus.
20037: What struck you as the most unusual about the choice that this young girl made?
Tara Bahrampour: I don't know if unusual is the term I would use, but what struck me particularly about Smar is that she is very consciously on a journey - on many fronts. She's at an age where people start seeing the world beyond their immediate family, and start making more decisions for themselves, and I think she will continue to refine her decisions about who she is as she gets older. She has to balance between very different worlds - her parents' world and the old country, and her own journey through the new country. What struck me most was her ability to balance between the two - to speak English and Arabic, to be interested in Islam and pop music, etc. I think it is a testament to her parents that they brought her up to embrace the old culture and also allow her to explore the new one.
Olney, Md.: Actually I was talking more about the burqa than the hijab.
And if no one condones the "honor killings," who are the people like the Toronto father who are doing them? Or the ones who attended the stoning of the woman that Shohreh Aghdashloo made the film about?
Tara Bahrampour: Ah well, I didn't say no-one condones them; I said I've never met anyone who does, so anything I said about their mindset would be pure speculation.
The burqa was mandated by the government of the Taliban in Afghanistan. It may also be decreed by individual families, or it may be the choice of a woman.
I do know from having spent a lot of time in Iran, where hijab is enforced by law, that many, many women there resent having to wear it.
Bethesda, Md.: There seems to be a disconnect between this young lady's faith in Allah and her penchant for celebrities who cross the line in morality. In what other ways does she practice her faith besides wearing a scarf on her head? Is she doing it to be different or because of aesthetics (i.e., she doesn't like her hair so she covers it)?
Tara Bahrampour: Hi Bethesda, thanks for your question. As I said earlier, I think that Smar strikes a comfortable balance between American teen life and religious faith. As far as I know she does not particularly follow celebrities who cross moral lines, but I suppose it depends on what lines you have in mind.
As for her motives, I think she likes her hair very much (she used to get it done in different styles). It's more that she wanted to try this thing that other women in her family and religious community do. And yes, it is different from the kids at school, and sometimes that is a hardship, but it also makes her feel special. And in her case she's made it into a fashionable statement - she's got many different colors and styles, and they're carefully put together each day.
Lewistown, Pa.: It seems to me that there is far too much immodesty in schools and elsewhere today -- that we should applaud a young woman who chooses to present herself modestly. The question seems to have more to do with a non-traditional expression of modesty -- the head covering. I don't understand why that should be a problem. Dress that does not interfere with the learning problem should not be subject to regulation by schools. More troubling to me is the experience I recently had of going into a department store and seeing bras advertized for grade school children -- since when do first and second-graders need bras? This young woman's choice -- to not be a sex object, should be applauded.
Tara Bahrampour: Hi Lewistown, thanks for your comment. I hadn't heard of the bras for first-graders - I sure hope they don't need them.
As for the schools, in my experience public schools in the US generally tend to allow headscarves. Private or parochial schools may have different rules. For Smar I saw no indication that it interfered with her ability to learn - probably the opposite, since if it were forbidden she'd surely be putting a lot of energy into protesting that rule!
Anonymous: From what I understand about the Muslim faith, wearing a head scarf is not a religious requirement (maybe a cultural one). So it's a choice. What's the real reason she wants to wear it since it's not a religious requirement?
Tara Bahrampour: Thanks for this question - I hope I answered it in the earlier responses.
Wilmington, N.C.: Well Smar is one smart girl, her mom deserves an enormous amount of credit. One thing I had to say, it's funny almost like she's wearing goth clothing only in a different color. She is in one way showing the appropriate rebellion that kids start to show, but doing in a way that's sanctioned (her mosque and family) by group and not in another(school). It's good for her that the learning institution is not interfering in any way.
Do women who wear those also wear them at home with their families or only when going out? Thank you for this important chat especially while issues with Hasan are at the forefront of the West's mind.
Tara Bahrampour: Hi Wilmington, thanks for commenting. I agree that Smar's mom is very smart, and she is also a huge influence on Smar. Smar is also lucky to have both a school and a religious institution that are very understanding and tolerant of different points of view. Her school has many students from different countries and faiths, and the ADAMS center has congregants from many different countries, many of whom take different approaches to religion.
In the Muslim homes I have been in, women who cover when they go out generally take the scarf off at home -- unless a male who is not a close relative visits.
Thanks also for your comment about Hasan. It's definitely important to talk about the many different faces of Islam - not just the most troubling/violent individuals or groups. When something like Fort Hood or 9-11 happens, the vast majority of Muslims are horrified that such a thing might be done in the name of Islam, and many mosques and religious organizations swiftly and clearly condemn such acts.
NE Washington, D.C. : Wow. This young woman is amazing! I found it interesting that the impetus for her decision was her summer trip to Egypt. After spending some weeks in Cairo, I (as an American, black woman) noticed the side-glances and usually unwelcomed comments of the men on the streets. I at times inquired with women, both at work and strangers about the decision to wear and not wear a hijab. They all told me the same thing...it's between me and my God and my decision. I must say it was very cool to see the 'full face' of women in the restrooms around town as they freshened up on the privacy of the women's room, kind of like an exclusive society. Again, Bravo to Smara and her family for giving her the space to make up her own mind.
Tara Bahrampour: Thanks so much, NE Washington. How interesting that you had a similar experience to Smar when you were in Egypt. It is indeed a personal decision, but, like most sartorial decisions, it is also driven by trends. In many countries in the Middle East, including Egypt, fewer women wore hijab 30 years ago than they do today. When fewer women wear it, the pressure on those who don't becomes stronger.
And you're right, in countries where women cover in public there is definitely a rich "inner world" among women in private spaces.
Bethesda, Again: If you don't mind, if you look at her Facebook page she has listed celebrities who indeed cross (way over) the moral line. Which is why I wish you had chosen a more conservative young lady who follows Allah more intently. She doesn't represent the Muslim faith honorably.
Tara Bahrampour: Again, it depends on your definition of where the moral line is. For Smar and her family, her decisions have been comfortably within the moral line. For others, the moral line may be elsewhere. As for following Allah intently, again, there are many different ideas of how to do this, just as there are many different interpretations of how to follow Christ intently. The different versions aren't always in accord. The good thing about the US is that Muslims and followers of other religions are each free to decide what it means to them personally to follow their faith honorably.
Manassas Park, Va.: Tara, does your own early upbringing in Iran help you see this story more clearly? Is it addressed in your memoir?
Tara Bahrampour: Hi Manassas Park! My own early upbringing in Iran (till age 11) and subsequent move to the US might contribute to my ability to see or look for these stories. I can certainly identify with people who grow up between two cultures, and know it can be hard especially in the teenage years when one is trying to fit in with peers, forge an identity apart from the family, etc. But as for the particular issue of headscarf, it's not something I ever had to confront because we left Iran before the hijab was mandated there, and most of the women in my family did not cover.
washingtonpost.com: Boldly modest declaration of faith (Post, Nov. 15)
Herndon, Va.: I have a question about the scarf in general. If the goal is modesty why are the colors not mute tones? I see pink and other colors that would not usually be considered modest. Thank you so much for taking time to answer questions.
Tara Bahrampour: Again, the idea of modesty is really subjective. Is it color, pattern, tightness, length? There are so many interpretations of what is modest that it would be impossible to give a blanket answer to the question. I think in general teenagers tend to test a lot of different ways of being, including dress. The colors might be more muted if Smar were 30.
Columbia, Md.: Having grown up in Philadelphia which has a large Muslim population, seeing a child in elementary, middle or high school wearing their hair covered was never a big deal. If anything it sparked questions as to why but never anything discriminatory. Since Islam is constantly getting a bad reap from the media and many people who choose not to understand its true meaning, its good to see an article that displays Islam in a good light and also from a child's perspective. Hopefully this will help shine a good light on Islam and also educate others who know nothing about the religion.
Tara Bahrampour: Thank you, Columbia, I appreciate your comment. I do agree that Smar is a good "ambassador" because she is at the same time very passionate about her faith and also very much like any 13-yr-old in the US, regardless of faith. And she is happy to talk about her beliefs in an upfront way, which goes far in helping explain what she's doing to her peers and others.
Anonymous: First I would like to say I loved the article and impressed by Smar's faith and independence. Your article covered Smar and the topic thoughtfully.
As a woman who wears a hijab -- I willingly came to wearing the hijab as did all of the women I know who are "Covergirls". Through western eyes the hijab may seem oppressive but as for myself I found it liberating, I wish I had been as smart in the 8th grade.
Tara Bahrampour: Thank you so much for your comment. Smar is indeed ahead of many of her peers in coming to this on her own. I'm glad you had a good experience with it.
Anonymous: If I were to visit her home, would I be required to cover my head?
Tara Bahrampour: I can't answer that since I don't know if you are male or female.
Tara Bahrampour: Thank you all so much for your comments and insights - it's been great to have this discussion. I really appreciate you participating in this, and hope we'll be able to do more on similar subjects in the future. - Tara

I think it's time to cut things off. This has to be one of the balls-less males I've ever met. Grant it, he's a good guy and that's why I've put up with it as long as I have, thinking he'd come around. I have pulled most of the weight. The only time he has asked me out is when I mention I have made most of the moves, aside from asking him out. And, that time, he said it would be if he got done working on something. It wasn't a definite answer. I made other plans because I don't wait on people to make time for me and he hasn't asked since. I brought it up and he said he meant when we were both free (he wasn't) and asked me to let him know when I was free this week. That was 4 days ago. Haven't heard from him since. I don't want to be with someone who makes me feel like I have to mention spending time together or someone who always places the ball in my court... what should I do?
Most Helpful Guy
maybe he's not good at arrangin plans? ah anyway...
did u try textin or callin back 2 see y he didn't answer u?00|00|0
No because we ended the conversation talking about me letting him know when I was free when I got my schedule... he didn't show up at my birthday party that I invited him to, but told my friend's husband that he was sick when the husband called him. He is acting so weird.
- Show AllShow Less
Yup x-actly... and he won't tell coz he's afraid of yer reaction
I guess I don't understand that because we both said we would tell each other if we didn't want to talk anymore. He said he wanted to take things slow, but it kinda killed things. If anything, it's his fault. Lol. I honestly think he's emotionally unavailable anyway.

Big Story
Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'NCAA Football (EA)' started by speedy_43, Jun 13, 2013.
From VG Strategy:
awesome! I'll buy the game for sure, but this will determine if it's a pre-order or not. As of now, the game by and large looks the same as last year...
BUT... now I have the best quarterback in the league lol
ha wow.. so hardly any videos or anything released.. they wanna do a demo.. shall be interesting .. i hope its good.. seriously.. ive never seen such lack of coverage for a game thats so popular...
Demo games will be:
Alabama vs. Virginia Tech
Oregon vs. Texas A&M
Ohio State vs. Michigan
By sharing the demo to your friends, you qualify for some Ultimate Team mode card packs.
oh boy ultimate team.. oh wait who cares about that crap// lame... im guessing it will be about 4 am or so central time when it hits xbox?
I guess the demo will decide if I buy or not.
Looked like shit in some of the gameplay videos TBH...
Oregon vs A&M? Why not Alabama vs A&M.
Oh well. Can't wait.
HD captures of demo gameplay over at OS look a lot better than the crappy cell phone vids taken at E3
ehhhhhhhh still looks worse then Madden 13... especially the game physics..... gonna dl the demo now to decide for sure
That does look a lot better. I'm 25% done downloading the demo now. Is there commentary?
They have the Yell Leaders in the game! And Reveille's handler is a cadet (in uniform)! Wow. They actually went out and got something right! lol
Okay ive played the demo and I will not be buying... that was horrid...
It's the same canned shit as 13..... the game looks and plays worse then a year old Madden game... what the fuck is the NCAA studio doing? I'm hoping that something amazing happens when the game goes next gen but before then I'm done. (this from a guy whose bought every NCAA on release day since Joey Harrington was cover boyin it)
a lot of people would disagree with you.. ive seen TONS of people actual say its amazing on other forums.. i cant wait to try it out and see.. people seem to really enjoy it a lot and says its the best one in years with all the gameplay updates
even if the gameplay was the GOAT the game still looks like shit visually.
The cuts are okay but coupled with the retarded canned animations it's just bad.
ill find out in a few im downloading as we speak..
I've only been able to get into a game once. Had to have frozen about 10 times or so on the loading screen. Deleted it, redownloaded it, cleared the 360 cache. Nothing working.
seems like there are a lot of people having freezing issues on the 360. Doesn't bode well given the freezing issues with '13
mine is working fine ... played several games

felt like you're entitled to be treated like a princess by the younger man, despite that you're the older, more life-experienced and more financially set one in the relationship?
Recently, I've given up on dating younger women and women my age due to their lack of maturity and responsibilities for their own action. Now, I've encountered this older woman at work (about 11 years older than me) who seems to have a feeling for me. She's actually a beautiful woman by my standards but I don't know if I should also trust older women.
Will they actually treat their men better than younger women or are they just the same as the rest of the other women that I've dated and broken up with?

Thank you very much for your splendid article on the Hanover Park High School Golden Hornets marching band (Florham Park Eagle, Sept. 6). As you pointed out, the support system for the band is fantastic. I can't say enough about the Band Parents Association and the teaching staff and about how hard everybody works. The band parent volunteers manage the student accounts, take care of the uniforms, organize the trips, make food, go on the buses, move the equipment, serve hot dogs, carry spares of everything and do huge fund-raising. Band Director Andy Stachow and Assistant Band Director Dave Martin manage this vast musical production and I don't think they ever go home. The band is built on discipline, focus, responsibility and an incredible work ethic.
For those in the band, there is nothing less than excellence. They score high at their competitions and were invited to lead the Disney Electric Light Parade.
But the best part is the kids. The room full of trophies is just a fringe benefit. The real prizes are the wonderful, solid, high-principled young people produced every year by the Hanover Park Band.
Thanks, Mr. Stachow.
Pheasant Way
Florham Park

I'm obsessed with projections in mid-air, ever since I first saw Princess Leia 'so-called' hologram, and I dreamed for years of having a go at Tom Cruise's UX in minority report.
I've used various techniques to explore similar aesthetics: peppers ghost (used in the Tupac Coachella concert), semi transparent screens, mirrors and lenses, which are often referred to as "holograms" but are in fact cheap tricks and just 2d projections.
To avoid misleading use of the word hologram (remember the heated debate with Kickstarter's CEO about the Holus scam?), I use the term No-logram (not a hologram). Read more →

The names on the rosters for the 2016 MLB All-Star game are out, with Miguel Cabrera (11th selection) and David Ortiz (10th selection) the only players with double digit selections.

Since the NBA started handing out the Bill Russell NBA Finals Most Valuable Player Award (Finals MVP in short), there have been five players to win the award back-to-back: Michael Jordan, Hakeem Olajuwon, Shaquille O'Neal, Kobe Bryant and LeBron James.

In Triple-A baseball (International League and Pacific Coast League only), there are 12 stadiums that have a capacity of 11,000 or more. Among those in the top 10 are Harbor Park in Norfolk, Louisville Slugger Field and Smith's Ballpark in Salt Lake City. More
The NBA's playoff scoring top 10 is slowly changing with LeBron James moving up the list, now making to number four overall and first among active players. Still above him on the list?

The European Cup has been around since 1955, but the Champions League brand only came to be in the 1992-1993 season, with a group stage introduced for the first time.

They say the NBA is no longer a big man's league, and it's partially true.
