RECIFE, Brazil – During his previous life as one of the greatest German strikers in the annals of that country's history, Jurgen Klinsmann was known for a number of signature moments.
Of course, he scored plenty of goals throughout Europe, but perhaps just as many people remember a trademark belly-flop celebration that came after his biggest ones. If the soccer field had a home plate, Klinsmann would swoop in safe by a mile, his arms extended in a full-blown swan dive with and a mop of blonde hair flapping in the breeze.
The conditions were perfect for another such flop at Arena Pernambuco on Thursday. Steady rain throughout the day saturated the field here for the United States' Group G finale against Germany, a soggy game that was supposed to decide the US' fate in Brazil but ultimately didn't, a World Cup curiosity Americans must adore now that they've white-knuckled their way into another week.
"It would have been no problem, I was wet already," Klinsmann quipped. "But it would have been difficult after a defeat."
Yes, the Americans lost their final group-stage game against Germany, 1-0. Both Klinsmann and the players admitted they gave too much respect to their opponents, and the US were subsequently outplayed for large swaths of the match. The US rarely threatened to score, resigned to rope-a-dope against the Germans and hope a bounce might go their way or a set-piece goal might even the tables against the better technical team.
But this is the World Cup. Emotions are sometimes tougher to figure out here than they are in the real world.
Where else would the team feel sullen and dumbstruck after their best performance by a mile in a 2-2 draw against Portugal on Sunday night in Manaus? And who said it's cool to hug each other and celebrate with your fans after you were just picked apart by Germany?
That's five days of soccer in Brazil. Wet and wild.
"The last game's draw felt like a loss," said defender Omar Gonzalez, "and today's loss felt like a win. It's pretty weird."
Added defender Matt Besler: "I bet that only happens in the World Cup, right?"
The US are through to the knockout round for the second straight time – that's worth celebrating. The cathartic win over Ghana in the opener paired with a solid performance against Portugal gave them a leg to stand on, but they're moving on in part because a series of events that were completely out of their control.
Most of those events revolved around Portugal, who upended Ghana 2-1 in Brasilia to end the Black Stars' very real hopes of once again playing the villain to Captain America. That win and Portugal's 4-0 collapse against Germany in the group's opening match on June 16 were enough to leave the Americans standing alone in the all-important second slot based on goal differential, another razor-thin escape not unlike the US' bid in 2002.
The Americans advanced ahead of Portugal that year, too, before eventually racing to the quarterfinals, something that's certainly not out of the question now. The US hit their share of potholes in the group stage – their team bus even drove through flash floods just to get to the stadium on Thursday – but their ride is still very much intact heading to Salvador, where they'll meet Belgium on July 1 (4 pm ET, ESPN).
"We said from Day 1, we've got to beat Ghana and then we get a point somewhere …" USSF president Sunil Gulati told reporters on Thursday. "If you were looking at how this would play out you'd say, 'Beat Ghana, draw with Portugal and play like heck against Germany.' They're a very, very good team and they were better than us today, but we did what we needed to do.
"It is a little bit of an odd feeling because you lost the last game," he added, "but we're dancing."
Despite the loss, the Americans survived this game without taking too many lumps. Gonzalez strode back into the starting lineup for center back Geoff Cameron with ease, midfielder Kyle Beckerman proved his worth for the third straight game and, unlike the game against Ghana that leveled strikers Clint Dempsey and Jozy Altidore and hobbled Besler, all players left this one largely unscathed.
Jermaine Jones said he thought he suffered a broken nose on a scary collision with winger Alejandro Bedoya in the second half, but the black eyes that stained the faces of Dempsey and defender Fabian Johnson are beginning to fade. Altidore may return for the knockout game. No players are suspended with yellow-card accumulation.
All of that is something to celebrate, but don't expect Klinsmann to do it soon. Instead of his signature flop, he just shook hands with his players Thursday and smiled after the Portugal score appeared on the stadium screens, then he disappeared into the tunnel.
"Now we can put this behind us," Klinsmann said. "And once the group is done, a whole different tournament actually starts."

If you retain even a shred of regard for Joe Paterno and what he accomplished at Penn State, you should be glad he didn't live to see this.
Paterno was fired in disgrace in November, apparently caught up in revelations of a longtime aide's serial sexual crimes against children. In January, Paterno died at 85 from lung cancer. In June, Jerry Sandusky was found guilty on 45 counts of sexual abuse against young boys, most targeted through his charity, which was supposedly devoted to helping troubled youths.
For what's left of Paterno's legacy, that's far from the worst of it. His story all along had been that he dutifully — and legally — forwarded to supervisors a graduate assistant's allegation that he saw Sandusky having sex with a boy in the Penn State football showers in February 2001. After that, he let others handle it. This is what Paterno told a grand jury and what he insisted in subsequent interviews.
If only he had known. If only he had done more.
It wasn't enough to save his job, but it did allow him to die comforted that legions of Penn State fans believed the university had wrongly sullied his reputation by firing him.
Now, the truth paints a far uglier, if more plausible, picture.
It never made sense that Joe Paterno, the biggest man on campus and his-word-is-law authority figure over an elite program, would meekly hand off such explosive allegations about a former trusted aide. Especially when that former assistant still had an office and full-run privileges in Paterno's building.
Not long after the scandal broke, Penn State hired former FBI Director Louis Freeh to conduct an internal investigation. Email discovered and leaked to CNN offers the most conclusive evidence yet that Paterno's tale was tall indeed.
Top university officials — since-fired president Graham Spanier, vice president Gary Schultz and athletic director Tim Curley — apparently had agreed to report Sandusky to state child welfare authorities until Paterno interceded, emails show. Curley, after speaking to the legendary coach — once his coach — wrote to Spaniel that a more "humane" solution would be to handle this quietly and in-house.
Child welfare officials were never alerted. When Sandusky stood trial, testimony revealed four boys were victimized after February 2001. Paterno and the others could have stopped a serial pedophile; instead, they protected a university's reputation and its treasured football program.
Unsurprisingly, Paterno's family is irate that leaked email is casting their patriarch in such awful light. Perhaps there's more to the story, as they no doubt would insist.
Perhaps buried amid the new evidence is a message from someone, anyone, that might read: "But if this is true, it's a felony crime. We have to take this to the authorities." Given the events to date, that seems as implausible as Joe Paterno's dishonored expressions of regret for Jerry Sandusky's true victims.
A smoking gun at Penn State?
"After giving it more thought and talking it over with Joe yesterday, I am uncomfortable with what we agreed were the next steps. … I am having trouble with going to everyone, but the person involved." — Penn State athletic director Tim Curley, from Feb. 27, 2001, email to university president Graham Spanier
"The only downside for us is if the message [to Jerry Sandusky] isn't 'heard' and acted upon, and we then become vulnerable for not having reported it. But that can be assessed down the road. The approach you outline is humane and a reasonable way to proceed." — Spanier, responding to Curley about two hours later

What is your favorite Meatloaf Recipe? There are so many types of meatloaf, so many ways to prepare and cook it. I just started getting into meatloaf this past year. It was never cooked growing up at home and I always shied away from it at gatherings, the cornflakes scared me off! But now I am quite enjoying this loaf of meat thing. It is a super easy meal, provided you have some quick sides.
Delicious Rating: This recipe is super easy to prepare. Just mix together all the ingredients with your hands, place in a loaf pan, and voila! Meatloaf is created. I love that this was super moist and so flavorful from the three meats, spinach, spices & herbs. You can make the mixture ahead of time and freeze in a throwaway loaf pan and bake at a future time. I don't have a lot of ideas for meatloaf, how do you usually prepare it? What do you serve it with?
Double the sauce for if you like a little extra once done.
We have an awesome turkey meatloaf recipe we use. I still don't really care for it but it can be tasty. 🙂
I've been looking for a good meatloaf recipe and this one seems to look the tastiest (I may substitute fresh spinach).
After I try it I will try and let you know results, thanks for posting!

Think You're Too Smart to Fall for a Scam?
Think you're too smart to fall for a scam? That's just what the con artists are hoping. According to new research, plus interviews with dozens of con artists and thousands of victims, basic consumer smarts are no match for the emotional appeals that clever cons use to defraud consumers of millions of dollars every year. No matter how successful or intelligent, anyone can fall victim to a crime.
Doug Shadel, a nationally recognized fraud expert and State Director of AARP Washington, takes an insider's look into the evolution of scams and how to avoid them in this new book from AARP, Outsmarting the Scam Artists: How to Protect Yourself From the Most Clever Cons (Wiley; March 2012; ISBN: 978-1-1181-7364-0; Paperback Original & E-Book). Shadel includes both sides—testimonials from victims as well as convicted scam artists—giving the reader a solid perspective and unique peek into a scam artists' mind.
Understanding the artist behind the scam is a first step in protecting yourself and your loved ones from deceit. After conducting personal interviews with dozens of con artists and studying their personalities, Shadel has found consistent trends in the tactics they use to defraud their prey. What do they all have in common? For starters, a life filled with fast money and women, drugs and alcohol, and lots of lying and cheating. But the most successful cons are also masters of persuasion, using a sophisticated set of psychological tricks and tactics that work time and time again. Outsmarting the Scam Artists explains that while specific scams come and go, the underlying strategy and tactics never change. If you know them, you can protect yourself.
Think all victims look the same? Wrong. Outsmarting the Scam Artists explains how individual scams are carefully crafted and tailored to meet specific victim profiles. Recent research has uncovered who's most vulnerable to some of today's most prevalent scams – and the results will surprise you. Shadel offers an entire chapter titled "Who are the Victims?", digging deep into the lives of the most vulnerable. A "Fraud Vulnerability Quiz" gives readers a chance to assess their own risk along with ways to prevent being a victim based on their own behaviors.
Outsmarting the Scam Artists dedicates a chapter to some of today's most prevalent scams. But rather than stop at providing basic consumer tips, Shadel gets to the underlying emotional pitch that cons use to get consumers to throw logic out the window. Here are some examples to look out for:
Exploiting ego through the Oil-and-Gas Scam
TIP: Never make a buying decision when you are in a heightened emotional state
Exploiting faith through a Religious Ponzi Scheme
TIP: Beware of investments sold by friends or members of a group to which you belong
Exploiting fear through the Gold Coin Scam
TIP: Never buy coins from a telemarketer
Exploiting boredom through the Movie Scam
TIP: Find out if the investment deal is registered with the SEC
Exploiting hope through the Lottery Scam
TIP: Know that all foreign lottery offers are illegal in the US
Exploiting credit through the Identity Theft Scam
TIP: Limit having several credit cards
Outsmarting the Scam Artists is an insider's playbook for consumers to protect themselves and fight fraud. Readers will get a fascinating peek inside the mind of a con artist, debunking the most common myths of who is taken and why.

How old, do you think, is the oldest living American? 100 years old? 105? 110? What if I told you that the correct answer is 253 years old! "But how is that possible?" you're no doubt asking. "No one has ever lived that long, with the possible exception of late Sen. Strom Thurmond! (R-SC)" The answer is: because the oldest living American isn't a "person" in the traditional sense at all — it's a corporation! The Lorillard Tobacco Co., to be precise, founded in 1760 and currently the longest surviving publicly traded company in the United States.
I know what you're thinking: "Hey, wait a minute! The Lorillard Tobacco Co. isn't a person, it's a corporation! Although it is kind of funny that the longest 'surviving' publicly traded company in the country sells a product that kills off its customers."
First off, there's nothing funny about tobacco-related deaths. Shame on you.
But yes, the Lorillard Tobacco Co. is a corporation. However, as the United States Supreme Court has repeatedly confirmed, most recently in the 2010 "Citizens United" decision, corporations are people — from a legal standpoint, anyway.
This ruling was further validated during last year's presidential campaign in the case of Romney v. Heckler, when the Republican presidential candidate explained that (this is a direct quote), "Corporations are people, my friend … of course they are. Everything corporations earn ultimately goes to the people. Where do you think it goes? Whose pockets? Whose pockets? People's pockets. Human beings, my friend."
So if you have a problem with the fact that corporations are human beings, take it up with Mitt and the Supreme Court (get a good lawyer first, though).
One criticism lodged at the notion of corporate personhood is that corporations have no feelings, opinions or emotions and are soullessly driven only to increase profits. Of course this is not true. To prove it, just look at the disclaimer preceding the commentary on nearly any movie DVD, such as this one taken from my children's copy of "How to Train Your Dragon":
"The views expressed in the interviews and/or commentary are solely those of the individuals providing them and do not represent the opinions of DreamWorks Animation LLC, its parent or its affiliates."
See? The DreamWorks Corp. explicitly states that it has opinions. But what are those opinions? Is it a Republican or a Democrat? Does it prefer creamy or crunchy peanut butter? Is it worried about the North Korean nuclear test? Does it suspect that Beyonce really did lip sync at the Inauguration? And since they're to blame, how about advice for parents whose kids now keep begging for a pet dragon?
So far I don't have any answers, unfortunately, as no one at DreamWorks has returned my calls.
But despite this compelling evidence that corporations do experience these human traits, how many of us ever take time out to ask a corporation how it's feeling, what it's thinking, if it ever gets burned out by the neverending quest to crush workers underfoot in the search for ever higher profits at any cost?
Not many, I'd venture. And yet we're the ones claiming to have all the compassion?
One person who "gets it" about corporate personhood is Jonathan Frieman, a Marin County man who recently went to court to dispute a ticket he received for driving alone in the carpool lane by claiming that there was another person in the car with him — specifically the papers of incorporation for his family's charity on the passenger seat. Frieman says that for a decade he's been cruising Bay Area carpool lanes with the papers beside him in the hopes of getting pulled over and ticketed. And even though he lost his court case, he promises to fight on, all the way up to the Supreme Court if necessary.
Good for you, Jonathan Frieman! And don't listen to anyone complaining about how you managed to use the carpool lane for 10 years without getting caught, whereas certain others of us get ticketed that one time we briefly used the carpool lane just to pass an incredibly slow vehicle when rush hour was pretty much already over, and the traffic cop certainly didn't have to be such a jerk about it when we tried to explain that we were really late for an important meeting. You know, in theory.
Still, there's plenty of work left to do in the fight for corporate equal rights. Right now, for example, corporations are barred from voting in elections. As virtual second-class citizens, corporations are instead forced to spend millions on surreptitious campaign contributions and associate with unsavory characters like Karl Rove.
And that's why, as a firm believer in the Constitution, and in the battle for equality, I come down squarely on the corporations' side. And I know that they'll be on my side too. Especially if it's rush hour and I'm in a hurry.
Malcolm welcomes reader suggestions for how his pockets can be the ones corporate money flows into at email@example.com.

Kevin Heaney, chairman of Blue Square Bet South club Truro City, has played fulsome tribute to the team and….
….manager Lee Hodges after Tuesday night's superb 2-2 draw at Sutton United which he described as "amazing".
City, who are under a transfer embargo because of their financial problems, travelled to Surrey with just twelve players because of injury, suspension and illness, but gained one of the results of the season, twice taking the lead through Cody Cooke before Sutton snatched a stoppage time equaliser.
He said: "We had an incredibly depleted squad, so much so that we had to get special permission from the league to sign two reserve players, and unfortunately even then one of them could not travel with us because of work commitments.
"Our squad for this game was down to just a dozen players. Young Tim Nixon, from the reserves, cut a lonely figure on the substitutes' bench.
"I asked Lee if, in all his twenty-odd years in the game, he had ever seen a team in action with just one sub before and he agreed he hadn't!
"I have seen some fantastic performances and results for Truro City in my seven years as chairman, but I have to say this was right up there with the very best of them.
"Lee got his tactics spot-on, and the spirit, work rate, application and energy levels that the players showed were just phenomenal. It made you feel that everything we all do on and off the pitch is so worthwhile.
"I was so proud of the players and the management team and the supporters who made the long journey.
"On the night, we could have ended up with three goals and all three points. Sutton equalised in the dying seconds with a goal from a somewhat controversial free-kick, but only a few minutes earlier Les Afful had hit the bar with an absolutely brilliant lob from 40 yards.
"If that had gone in, it would have been game over.
"All this was achieved against a very good Sutton team who I confidently expect to finish in the top five and who had the luxury of being able to put on three substitutes, all of them over six foot.
"I'm bound to say I feared the worst at the start, but it all turned out so very differently.
"Cody Cooke scored a terrific brace and really 'arrived' in this match. He's a genuine local lad who's come in via Truro College and our reserves, and he's precisely the sort of local product from the community that we want to produce more of. We now start looking for the next Cody.
"There had been serious concerns that this match might not have gone ahead at all. We had eight out of our nineteen players unavailable.
"The outcome tells me a great deal about the group of players we've got now, along with the outstanding leadership qualities.
"I hope this is a clear message to everyone in Truro and Cornwall.
"This club is well worthy of support; it is a club the county can be proud of.
"We now turn our attention to the upcoming `local derby` matches over the festive period, with the visit to Weston-super-Mare on Boxing Day and especially the return fixture at Treyew Road on New Year's Day, when we hope to welcome a big crowd for some first class entertainment.
"We also hope to have at least three of our absentee players back in action by Boxing Day, incidentally.
"It is worth noting that not so many years ago Weston were five levels above us, and now they are our local derby opposition. Seven years ago, we were lying eleventh in the South Western League – today we are eleventh in the Conference South. What an amazing achievement that is.
"I personally have in mind four matches as the all-time greatest achievements during my period as chairman.
"The FA Vase, obviously, has to be number one. I also recall our 2-1 win at Tavistock that secured promotion to the Western League, plus last season's six goals at Salisbury City, which was just like a dream.
"And then, without hesitation, I choose last night. What an achievement, in the face of such adversity. Well done, lads, well done, everyone."

Seventeen-year-old Nicholas Duncan is on holiday there, in pursuit of an exotic butterfly known as the Magpie Crow. It's an uncertain, dangerous time to be in Indonesia, and Nick's options of getting out are fast dwindling. Amidst the fear and chaos he falls in love with Anna, the beautiful daughter of a Dutch acquaintance, and she nicknames him 'Mr Butterfly'.
To assist in the escape, Anna's father gifts Nick his prized yacht, Vlermuis, to sail to Australia. Singapore has just fallen, the Japanese have made it to Sumatra, and the waters are dangerous. Vlermuis is not long out of Batavia when Nick is forced ashore for repairs. He witnesses the bloody execution of shipwrecked Allied soldiers by natives, and while burying what's left of the bodies, Nick notices one wounded soldier has escaped death, and he carries him back to his yacht.
The rescued soldier is a lower-class Irish Catholic American called Kevin Judge. He has no sailing experience, but he assists Nick in navigating through some dramatic storms and the two form an unlikely and lifelong friendship.

"wonderful read"
The speaker was so involved in the story and his voice showed emotion of the main charicter.
Nick, he grewup before your eyes
A view of the invasion of Indonesia we knew nothing about.
"Superb story and peformance"
I was already a Bryce Courtney and Humphrey Bower fan, but this book surpassed those I had "read" before. I highly reccomend it!
"A great love story."
I loved this book so much I am listening to it again! Bryce Courtney is the best story teller ever...never becoming too wordy, but not leaving out details that give you the complete story. You feel the emotion of each person presented in the book, then Humphrey Bower gives them life with his voice.
Anna was my favorite character because she is so smart for her young years and stands her ground for what she believes in. You can feel her compassion for other people and her hate for others. She is such a brave person during the time of the war.
He is, by a long ways, the best narrator in the Audible Library. He brings the person to life with the variety of accents - he is a master! Very few narrators have the ability to get the emotion across to the listener like Humphrey Bower. He becomes the character.
There were parts of the book that made me laugh and other parts that made me cry.
That is the beauty of Bryce Courtney's books. You never want them to end...and thankfully we get to read more about Anna and Nicholas.
"Amazing narration and a story that never quits!"
This story is a perfect combination of history and rich, unique characters. Unlike any other story, I was enthralled with the story and loved the narrator. I felt like I knew these characters well especially with the excellent voices/accents that the narrator seamlessly executed. Didn't want it to end.
The often desperate state that the character Anna found herself in and her ability to rise above her circumstances were a highlight for me.
Love, youthful innocence, war, tropical islands and sailing the high seas are among the topics I really enjoyed during this amazing saga.
"Great Book"
Well presentation of a great story
Yes, even though my interest was already great because I lived in Southeast Asia for years many years ago.
Yes, with great accurate details
No complaint with the narrator.
"Rich and Real"
I really enjoy this author and this book as much or more than all of the books he had written. Yes, I will listen again and again to catch the details of this multi-tapistry creation.
The readers will miss something special if they don't read all of this authors books for the history, the culture and the personal relationships that all lead to a memorable moments with excellent endings.
"Engaging, Horrifying, Satisfying"
An absorbing tale about WWII in the South Pacific. The narrator, who has an Aussie accent, does a superb job. The story is complex and deals with the horrors faced by a young woman living under the Japanese in the Dutch East Indies, in parallel with the story of her admirer, a young man who escapes the invasion to reach Australia. A thoroughly satisfying read, including the ending.
"educational escapism"
touching, informative, historical
hard to pick a favorite but the two leading roles are fascinating and life affirming
Probably Anna.
Lead man. He is clever, resourceful, dedicated, well educated, experienced in hand to hand combat, a crack shot, and according to the book incredibly good looking!
When i saw the length of this book I was initially put off. However, the story and performance were so good I found myself being relieved to have a long train, plane or car ride so I could listen to it for a good stretch. Very engrossing and you really felt that the characters were three dimensional people. It was also exceptionally interesting to learn about this small part of the war in this particular part of the world. By the end of the book I felt I knew something I hadn't when I began, and isn't that why we read books really? not just for entertainment (and this was plenty entertaining!) but to learn new things.
"Ugh, what a trial"
Sorry, I do not understand all the great reviews. At the end of the first download, I am loathed to go on, I can't stand the sex scenes. I don't want to know anymore about "wee willy" or "jumping jack". Yuk, I am not a prude, but really? Can't we just get back to the story? Romance?
"Great way to learn of history"
It was nicely narrated and interesting. The main male character was unreasonably mature, knowledgeable and too good to be true for his 18 years
see above
Great narrator easy to listen to

Widespread snow, cold temps expected across Colorado this weekend
By Summit Voice
FRISCO — After an extended Indian Summer that saw many Summit County spots flirt with record high temps for late October and early November, thing are about to change drastically.
A cold Pacific storm will sweep across the state this weekend, potentially delivering up to two feet of snow in the San Juans, with up to 12 inches possible across many mountain areas. The best moisture appears to be associated with the approaching cold front, so the heaviest snow amounts look to be in areas favored by southwest flow, including the San Juans, the Steamboat area, the West Elks and the Flatttops, but the I-70 corridor won't get completely skunked.

When Jared Goff was at Stanford's junior day the Cardinal received a big commitment from four-star quarterback Ryan Burns so the Kentfield (Calif.) Marin Catholic quarterback isn't sure where that Pac-12 school stands in his recruitment right now.
"It was a good time," Goff said of his Stanford trip. "I got to talk to some of the coaches that I haven't talked to in a while like coach (Mike) Sanford so it was a good day.
"They talked to me about getting admitted and they talked about my grades. They want me to come up for a summer camp so I don't really know what's going to happen."
Article Continues Below
Still, the 6-foot-4, 190-pound prospect who threw for 3,220 yards with 44 touchdowns and four interceptions in his junior season already has a few offers and said he's hearing from new schools all the time.
"Recently, Oregon, Oregon State and UCLA have started talking to me," Goff said. "The other schools that have been talking to me have just been regularly recruiting me."
Boise State, Cal and Washington State have already offered Goff and the Golden Bears are considered the favorite although the Northern California quarterback said it's still too early to determine a clear frontrunner.
Over the next couple months, Goff would like to visit Cal again and possibly head to Boise State and Washington State before making a decision.
Goff said he wants to keep some flexibility in his plans, though, because with the new interest from schools he's not sure which ones will be offering next.
With great film and an outstanding junior season behind him there's a good chance other programs could be getting involved soon.
"I don't know when but I definitely want to visit Cal again so my parents can see all the cool stuff and I know I want to visit Boise State and Washington State," Goff said. "Depending on who offers I could be visiting those schools."
USC, Boston College, Miami and others have been consistently showing interest in Goff over the last few months as well.


text: Me & my ole lady just got a new '04 Chevy Trailblazer which I need to install a sweet car audio system. I have researched this forum and have this idea for a setup- HU - Stock, my ole lady doesn't want to change it Front Door (6.5") - CDT CL-6X ($45) Rear Door (6.5") - CDT CL-6X Subwoofer - 1 10" Alpine Type-R ($90 at Circuit City) Box: Q Logic Small Truck Box ($50 at CC- again, ole lady doesn't want a big sub/box taking up the cargo room) 6.5" Amp: old Kenwood 4x60 Watt Amp (2 yrs old, not excelon) Sub Amp: MTX Thunder 282 ($90 from CC) Extras: 4 Guage Amp Kit off ebay, Dynamat (2 speaker kits and 1 license plate kit) This is what I believe I should put together. Does anyone have any better ideas keeping in the price range for each component? The only component I would consider spending more on would be the 6.5" speakers since I have Alpine Type X (SPX-177A) 6.5" components (front) & Alpine SPS-629s (rear) in my car (Mits Galant) and could switch them into this car and get the CDT CL-61A's for my car with a pair of CDT CL-6X in the rear of the Galant. Which do you think are better the CDT CL-61As or Alpine Type-Xs? How good do the cheaper CL-6's sound? Better than Alpine Type-Rs, Polk dB, etc.? Also, in the future I'd like to upgrade to a head unit that I could watch DVDs on in the front seat- what product should I keep my eye on? Is a LCD head unit with DVD capabilities going to be my best bet? Thanks!

Learning To Hate: Games Don't Need to Change, We Do
We have no problem pulling the trigger.
We aim down the sights, fire off a few rounds, and move to the next target without a second thought. Today's youth are raised in a world that inherently fears terrorists, and with a plethora of first-person shooters on the market requiring players to hunt down and eliminate them, it's a fear that only becomes more real.
But is this a bad thing? By giving kids these games are we empowering our youth to take on their fears and face the world bravely? Or (on the flip side) are we adding to a stereotype that anyone who looks a certain way is evil?
I have two kids, and so far they are still too young to understand all there is to fear in the world.
My five-year-old is afraid of spiders, and my one-year-old is for some reason terrified of balloons, but beyond that, they don't know the dangers we face. If I were to say the word "Syria" to them, they would probably expect me to pour them a bowl of Cheerios.
What I Know* vs. What My Kids Know
*Syrian city of Aleppo 2013 (AFP Photo / Dimitar Dilkoff)
I like that their world is simple right now.
I love that I can make everything all better by kissing a boo-boo or finding a teddy bear. But when I put them to bed at night and sit down to watch the news, I wonder what kind of world they are going to inherit. What are we doing today to make the world a better place for our children?
While I won't be getting into politics, I do want to acknowledge that I believe the government, no matter which party is in office, has the best interests of our country at heart. I don't believe for one second that any president would ever want our people to suffer, whether at the hands of terrorists or a natural disaster.
What I will be addressing however, is whether or not the games we all love so much are hurting our progress as a planet. By fragging digital terrorists in Call of Duty, are we perpetuating a stereotype that needn't be perpetuated? When we celebrate an across-the-map headshot in Battlefield, are we allowing a little bit of hate into our hearts that wasn't there before? I want to be sensitive to those who were affected by the terrorists' actions 12 years ago, but I will also be putting gamers under the microscope as well.
Do we need to be held accountable for these stereotypes?
Learning to Hate
Let me be clear, this is not an attack on Call of Duty, Battlefield, or any other video game. These companies make the games that we want, and they know what we want by what we buy. If Black Ops had not sold well, Activision never would have ok'd Black Ops 2. Clearly, we love our shooters, and clearly, we're going to continue getting them.
But maybe it's time for a change.
It always seems like we're hunting down people who wish to do our country harm, and many times they are of Middle Eastern descent. To a young gamer, this may indicate that all people of this nationality are bad people. They may believe that because the only people they kill in the game look this way, that all people who look that way mean us harm.
I know that games have ratings from the ESRB to prevent children from seeing and being influenced by material like this, but let's be real: not all parents are that involved in what their kids are playing, and some parents don't have any problem with them playing these kinds of games. I'll leave the right and wrong of parenting advice for a later time, but I would simply say that it is at the very least possible that a game like this can have an influence over a child.
Thing is, it's not only young children who learn who to hate from these games, but adults as well.
I have noticed that when I play games like these, I find myself getting a little emotional with some of the kills, in kind of a scary way. I don't feel like it's a good thing to get satisfaction from killing someone in a game, even one that is built to do just that.
These games, especially the multiplayer aspects, are about killing as many people as you can, as quickly as you can. We become numb to the thought that we're killing people, and we hardly ever think about who we're killing. But when you pull the trigger to take the life of a terrorist in a game, your mind remembers that. Your mind remembers you aggressively went after someone who looked a specific way. I don't have any research to back this up, but as an educated adult, I have to believe this happens on some level.
Most of us can separate reality from video games.
Even though we may get a little too involved in the killing of terrorists in a game, we are able to step away and know that not everyone who comes from that nationality wishes to do us harm. We know that the game is designed to be fun, it's designed to be fantasy, and it is not intended to be a biography of the way the world works. But there are those who simply cannot make this distinction. Some people, though they may never take to the streets and start shooting people, develop a bias for people who look a certain way, and it can impact their life and the lives of those around them.
Even if they never act on their learned hatred of these people, they may have issues dealing with them in work-related, social, or day-to-day situations.
What I'm NOT Saying
I'm not trying to say that video games are the cause of all the violence in the world like some people would have you believe. Quite the opposite, really. I believe that video games give people a way to express themselves and let out some aggression that they have no other way of releasing. Personally, when I hop on Call of Duty and join a multiplayer match, I get my butt kicked, but I shoot a lot of other players and get some real satisfaction from doing so. It's designed to be fun, and millions of people, myself included, play these games to escape the problems and troubles of the real world. Most of us know that the actions we commit in-game are not actions we could, or would ever commit in real-life.
So that brings me back to the question of whether or not these games are harmful to us as people. Should we demand change in the way games are made? Should we put masks over every enemy and make them mute so we don't offend anyone or learn to hate certain races? Should we start banning games that are too violent or portray people of other nationalities in a negative light?
Absolutely not.
Look, the anniversary we remember today is a sad day in our nation's history. We mourn the innocent lives lost and the first responders who bravely gave their own lives. But together, we rise up in solidarity remembering what it is that makes this country strong, and what it is that those who wish to do us harm will never understand: our faith. Faith in each other, faith in God, and faith in the hope of a better tomorrow. No matter how many times we are knocked down, we will always bounce right back up.
Playing a game that tasks us with shooting terrorists may not be the most productive way for us to deal with the stress in our lives, but it should not be something we take away either. Millions of people play these games as an outlet, and millions of people are all the better for it.
It All Comes Down to Us
I agree that stereotypes may be unfairly fostered with games like Call of Duty or Battlefield, but we could sit here all day and find examples of social stereotyping from almost any game you can imagine. The problem isn't one for game developers to fix. As responsible adults, we need to do our best to separate games from reality, and we need to pass on our values to our children.
It's okay if you are comfortable with them playing these games, but explain to them the real-world circumstances that make these games possible. Explain that they aren't just shooting these people because they look a certain way. Make sure they understand that just because someone comes from a certain part of the world, they don't necessarily harbor any ill will towards us.
Instead of blaming the games or focusing on them unnecessarily, let's take a step back.
These games serve as an important outlet for millions of people. Lawyers, doctors, military personnel, teachers, CEOs, politicians, and stay-at-home mothers escape their troubles by playing these types of games. Instead of blaming the games or focusing on them unnecessarily, let's take a step back. Let's remember what makes today important, and tell everyone you love how much they mean to you. Let's teach our children the right ways to treat people, and let's lead by example.
As a parent, I try to do the right thing to teach my kids how they should behave. I don't always succeed, believe me, and I'm far from perfect. But my hope is that all the other parents out there join me, and by the time our kids enter the world on their own, things will be a little less scary for them.
Even if you don't have kids of your own, I hope you will talk with your family and friends about these things, and share with them the reasons you play games like this. Whether it's for the release of stress, simply for fun, or because it's a mindless way to get through painful times in your life, make sure they know it's not just because you love hunting people who look a certain way.
The video games don't need to change. We do. Our world can be better. Our world will be better. We just have to have a little faith.

Capt. Eliza CreststeelSeptember 12, 2013, 10:54 amContributorActually I always thought that Call of Duty did a good job of showing the difference between a bad person and labeling whole groups of people. Your character in Black Ops 1 and 2 interacts with people from all over the globe and so you get to see good and bad from those various nationalities.
This is not to say that games in general don't stereotype their villains. Part of playing an escape is to have enemies you can feel neutral or even positive about eliminating. But, is that any different in how often a game or movie villain is a rich, white business man? So often that's the easy fallback for producers concerned over being label racist - make the bad guy a white corporate type.
I think it always helps when your character has allies or meets positive people from the same area they are fighting in to balance the scale. Look at Far Cry 2. Most of the bad guys were African, but that's because the game is set there. But, you had plenty of other characters who were allies, helpers or locals you helped out.
Brian ArmstrongSeptember 16, 2013, 1:40 amFeatured ColumnistYou know you might be right, I probably generalized my shooters a little too much, but I think the point is still the same. There are many popular FPS games that send players on the unapologetic hunt for terrorists. I appreciate your feedback though, and your point about FC2 was a good one.
Supa508September 12, 2013, 1:40 amCouldn't agree with you more. There is a healthy way to play these games. These games are not the issue. The issues are with the individuals that don't understand the separation of fiction and reality. Also, it's on us the players. If we go into games and use our anonymity to just spew verbal diahaareah then we deserve the community we get. But if we conduct ourselves like adults and understand everyone has their individual tastes. Religion, social views, Etc. we will be all the better for it.
Brian ArmstrongSeptember 12, 2013, 10:03 amFeatured ColumnistThank you Supa, it's definitely on us to act as adults and set an example, and just hope others follow suit. Thanks for reading!
Vijemo MediaSeptember 11, 2013, 4:40 pmContributorAwesome post. A lot of gamers grew up in an era where it was much easier to discern gaming from reality. Now as graphics become more and more realistic, it won't be long before an entire generation grows up watching video games that look more realistic than the evening news. As exciting as the possibilities will be, it does concern me that this will become even more of an issue than it is today.
Brian ArmstrongSeptember 12, 2013, 10:03 amFeatured ColumnistThank you for the compliment and for posting. I agree that with graphics improving, games are becoming more difficult to separate from reality. Great point.

2011 NFL Playoffs Facts and Figures
* Though it may seem like this year's field of NFL playoff teams is less than stellar, it's worth noting that 2011 marks just the second year ever that at least six teams enter the playoffs with 12 or more wins (New England, Baltimore, Pittsburgh, Green Bay, San Francisco, New Orleans). The only other time as many 12+ win teams qualified for the postseason was in 2003.
* Perhaps being in the wild card round isn't such a bad thing for the Steelers. After all, winners in the opening round of the playoffs have gone on to win it all seven times. And in five of the past six seasons, at least one of the two teams participating in the SB has been forced to win three games beginning in the wild card round to punch their ticket to SB Sunday.
* With the Houston Texans and Detroit Lions both qualifying for the postseason this year, Buffalo now becomes the lone team in the NFL not to have made the playoffs since realignment in 2002. Yes, even Cleveland has been invited to the postseason party. Just once though back in the very first year of realignment ('02).
* Speaking of realignment, the Steelers have made seven playoff berths in the past 10 years since 2002. Those seven playoff appearances are tied with the Green Bay Packers for second most among playoff teams in 2011, trailing only New England who's been playoff bound eight times in the past ten seasons. Interestingly and impressively enough, the Patriots won the AFC in each of those eight seasons. This will be the second time the Steelers have entered the postseason as a wild card rather than the AFC North champion. The last time, of course, was in 2005, and we all remember how they fared that year.
* And to round out the realignment related tidbits…for the first time since 2002, there were seven new divisional winners. Only the Patriots were repeat winners of their division.
* Exactly one half of this year's field has won a Super Bowl since 2000. They are? The Steelers ('05, '08), the Patriots ('01, '03, '04), the Ravens ('00), the Giants ('07), the Saints ('08), and the Packers ('10). With the Steelers and Pats winning multiple Lombardis, a total of nine of the past 11 Super Bowls have been won by teams in this year's playoff field.
* The Steelers qualified for their 27th playoffs, tied for third most with Green Bay, and trailing only the Cowboys (30) and the Giants (31) for most in league history.
* The Steelers may not have been able to gain any ground on the Packers in the previous category, but they can inch closer to the all-time winningest playoff record if they can fare better than the defending champion Packers. Entering this year's playoffs, the Steelers sport a 33-20 record (.623) compared to Green Bay's record of 29-16 (.644).
* There's only one team that can catch the Steelers in all-time SB wins this year. That team is the San Francisco 49ers, who, along with the Cowboys, have captured five SB titles. Green Bay, who seeks to become the ninth repeat champion in NFL history, has four SBs. Their remaining nine league titles came in the pre-SB era.
* I'm not sure this will make for a quality football game, but Saturday's matchup between the Houston Texans and Cincinnati will be the first time in NFL history that two rookie quarterbacks will face off. T.J. Yates aims to return to lead Houston to a victory at home against the Andy Dalton led Bengals in what will be the first playoff game in franchise history for the Texans.

Mendenhall reporedly out for playoffs
The Pittsburgh Steelers journey through the playoffs won't include running back Rashard Mendenhall.
A person familiar with the injury told The Associated Press that Mendenhall has a torn ACL in his right knee and is out for the entire postseason. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the team had not made an official announcement about Mendenhall's status.
The severity of the injury was first reported by ESPN.com and the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
Mendenhall hurt the knee while being tackled late in the first quarter of Sunday's 13-9 victory over Cleveland. He did not return and coach Mike Tomlin said after the game the injury was "not good." Mendenhall will have surgery before the end of January.
Second-year back Isaac Redman and rookie John Clay will fill in when the Steelers face Denver in the AFC Wild Card on Sunday.

Steelers Gut Out Win at Cleveland, Clinch 5 Seed in AFC Playoffs, Will Travel to Denver
It seemed almost fitting for a year in which the Steelers couldn't exploit opportunities to get past AFC North Rival Baltimore.
At approximately the same time, Pittsburgh's Isaac Redman fumbled during a drive that could have sealed a win and Bengals TE Jermaine Gresham fumbled for Cincinnati, who was driving on Baltimore down 17-13.
Pittsburgh ended up taking home a 13-9 victory, but Baltimore used that turnover to grab a 24-13 lead. Cincinnati's comeback fell short, and the teams flipped playoff positions from a year ago.
The Ravens have the week off, while Pittsburgh will prepare to travel to Denver to take on the AFC West champion Broncos. The time and date of the game has not yet been announced.
Cincinnati also clinched a playoff spot despite the loss. It is the first time three teams from the AFC North have been in the playoffs. The Bengals will travel to Houston in the Wild Card round.
The Steelers suffered another rash of injuries, the most concerning to RB Rashard Mendenhall, who left the game in the first quarter with a knee injury. Early reports on his status do not look good, as Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said Mendenhall is "doubtful or worse" for next week.
It was a tough defensive battle, unfortunately marred by injuries to Mendenhall, TE David Johnson, RG Ramon Foster and CB Cortez Allen. Even with that pall hanging over the 12-4 Steelers, they did lock up the league's top scoring defense, besting San Francisco by just two points (227 to 229). Pittsburgh has allowed nine points or less in each of their last five victories.
The injuries will be the compelling story this week, and much of it will surround FS Ryan Clark (who became the team's top tackler for 2011. Clark has a blood disorder which reacts poorly in high altitude environments. It flared up during a game in Denver in 2007, and the result of it was Clark missing the rest of the season and losing his spleen and gall bladder.
Clark did not make the last trip the team made to Denver in 2009. It stands to reason he won't be at this game either, moving Ryan Mundy into the starting lineup.
Clark and the defense thoroughly dominated Cleveland for much of the game, and more the issue in the win was the lack of explosion and movement from the offensive side of the ball. QB Ben Roethlisberger did not look comfortable, failed to step into many of his throws and missed open receivers several times. It didn't seem like the plan was to have Roethlisberger throw 40 times (he completed 23 of them), but Mendenhall's injury seemed to shift that plan to the forefront.
It did help Steelers WR Hines Ward get his historic 1,000th career reception – a shovel pass for -3 yards – in the fourth quarter.
The Steelers survived a last-second hail mary pass from Seneca Wallace, but their post-season fate was already sealed after Cincinnati's last-second pass also fell incomplete.

if statistics on mobile wireless pc users from idc are accurate, nearly 35% of all notebooks in existence at the end of this year will be equipped with some sort of wireless networking card. the dominant component of these wireless laptops is expected to be intel's recently launched and heavily promoted centrino chipset, which integrates wireless lan functionality directly onto the motherboard. however, it appears that intel might've been just a bit too hasty in getting the centrino out the door. wired.com has revealed that using popular virtual private network (vpn) connectivity software with a centrino chipset will crash your laptop to the dreaded blue screen of death (bsod).
vpns have become extremely popular as a method for remote workers to connect securely across untrusted public networks. wireless users in particular have warmed to vpns, as the airwaves are particularly susceptible to eavesdropping by third parties. intel has yet to openly identify all incompatible vpn software suites, although nortel vpn software is known to cause a crash. other vendors have reported problems as well, but intel has not confirmed their results.
as an interim fix, intel instructs owners to disable a centrino driver that allows users to easily roam various wireless networks. this will come as a large inconvenience to users who frequently make use of multiple wireless networks. "you would need to be an absolute expert to configure a wireless system, unless you had this utility," said atheros communications product manager sheung li.
get more in the wired.com article and at intel's centrino page. a very useful blog on centrino laptops is also available.
eric's opinion
since vpn software is one of the most commonly used applications for wireless lans, i can't see how this problem managed to make it past any sort of quality control at intel. if it chokes on nortel, cisco, or checkpoint vpn software then that's a pretty decent hunk of the market to ignore. checking the blog listed above, it seems more than a few users are steamed at intel over the centrino in general. apparently intel's hardware doesn't make nice and play well with other vendor solutions, leading some to junk the intel wireless controller for their own 802.11x hardware.
intel's fix for this is hopefully just a stopgap, as disabling the roaming utility apparently causes mobile users a lot of headaches. one of the nice things touted by intel for centrino was the effortless roaming. with that having to be disabled, buyers may look elsewhere for solutions until intel can figure out how to fix this issue. if it's a software issue then an updated driver would be all that's needed. however, if it's a hardware problem–and intel's lackluster "fix" would seem to indicate the problem is not easily overcome–it may take a new revision of centrino to fix it. that would leave all the early adopters out in the cold, and some of them are getting quite heated over this.

|big blow for centrino (11:29am est mon jun 02 2003)
this has got to sting! when i shop for laptop's, i shop for amd mobile athlon processors. they don't have bugs like this.

i'm an amd fan, but really like the banias processor (pentium m).
buy pentium m, but without integrated 802.11b.
buy an avaya (orinoco, etc) 200mw 802.11b card, and slap it in the pcmcia slot.
this bypasses the "centrino" flaw and gets you a better ranged card anyway.
remember centrino is just the brand name intel uses to describe a pentum m using an intel chipset with an intel integrated 802.11b device.
in case you were wondering, where do you get such a stripped down machine?
98% approval rating on reseller ratings compared to dell's 30% or apple's 35% too.

|regards to "perdo" (2:19pm est thu jun 05 2003)
i agree. the pentium m saves energy, and it doesn't focus all of it's power on background applications, but only what is needed to keep the application running. the centrino was a nice idea, but it just wasn't ready. – by jason

If you use Hidden Text in placing your notes in the Comments field,
you can still use that field (Source Element) in the Source
Templates for that Source. With the Hidden Text, the notes would be
ignored when the Source is printed if the Comments Source Element is
part of the Source Templates(s). The only caveat is that there could
be some minor initial confusion to the user when the Source is opened
to retrieve the notes for use.

While I was home in New Jersey, I did a lot of hair, including quite a few sew in weaves. It was always for family, so we don't charge one another money, but my price is agreeing to be featured on L4L. Taking pics – with smiles, sans attitudes – is non-negotiable! My cousins didn't mind so much, especially since I gave everyone hair, but my mom always catches an attitude. Whatever! No pics, no hairdo – the end! So, my mom is my model for today's tutorial: how to do a sew in weave with net and hair left out.
Using weaving net when installing a sew-in serves multiple purposes: it relieves tension from your real hair, allows you to sew the tracks more evenly along your braided base, preserves the braids longer, allows the hair and weave to lay flatter and can help fill in areas for women with thinning hair. Here is a look at the braid pattern I did on my mother's hair. I left very little hair out in the front (the small braid that is separate) because she wanted minimal hair out and did not want a part. This pattern is part snake (zigzag back and forth without disconnecting the braids) and the rest beehive (circular pattern in which the end braid ends up in the middle). The 'tail' of the braid was then sewn down in the middle.
Next, I secured the net by sewing it down to the perimeter braid. This is fairly straight forward when you don't leave any hair out or only have the very perimeter out as I did here. However, I also did a few sew-ins with a net with middle and side parts. If you are leaving more hair out (like for a part), you simply braid down the leave out and sew the net around the leave out to the first "anchor" braid where you will be attaching tracks. Once you have the net sewn down, cut around the edges (and the leave out) to remove the excess netting.
Now that your base is secure, you can begin to sew the tracks to the hair like normal. The net allows you to sew over the parts and in areas where there is no braid which is why using a net makes sew-ins overall more secure. Since my mother's hair is thin, I used synthetic hair to help "bulk" up her braids and to aid the net in relieving tension on her natural hair.
Once you have all the hair sewn in, you can cut and style as you see fit. If this were MY hair, I would've rocked it just like this. But my mom is much more conservative, plus she's older so she ain't about that full hair life! I cut the hair into a slight inverted bob and she was ecstatic about the results. She should've been as much as she bugged and harrassed me throughout the whole process….Is it too much hair? Is it gonna be super full? Do you know how I want it cut? Is it going to look okay? Are you sure you can do it? Maybe I should just pay somebody? I swear she drove me crazyyyyy!
Anyway, I hope you found my instructions helpful. I know a video would have given a better look, but I'm sure there are plenty of tutorials on YouTube for the same thing – just search 'How to Do a Sew In Weave with Net'. It isn't difficult, and the extra 15 minutes it takes to apply a net will help the style look and last so much better!

Hello guys! Here is my scenario:
Quite long ago i bought a softmoded Wii. Today I pretty much only use it to play Project M.
Anyways, recently when i tried to start the Wii, i got this error message:
Attachment 4826
Nope, I haven't updated/changed ANYTHING recently. I was just gonna play as usually, and I ended up with this. I searched for a similar issue on the forum, and what I found didn't make much sense to me. Now the thing is that I don't really know to much about soft-modding since I didn't do it myself(bought it soft-modded, as mentioned earlier.). If there isn't a quick-fix for this issue out there, I was wondering if there would be any issues if I somehow reset the entire thing and re-installed the entire soft-mod anew? I think it would be a great experience for me.
I got a backup of two files called:
...if these two would somehow help me out.

The Supreme Court has struck down a law requiring proof of citizenship when you register to vote. The decision could impact a Kansas Law.
Should proof of U.S.citizenship be required when you register to vote? Does that discriminate or intimidate people away from voting? What do you think? Tell us in the comments section below.
Justice Antonin Scalia said that the 1993 National Voter Registration Act, which requires states to "accept and use" the simple federal form, replaced more complicated state forms like Arizona's. And the court said that if the state wanted to add requirements, it had to get permission from the federal Election Assistance Commission set up under the law. If the state was unable to prevail at the commission level, the court said, it could then appeal to the federal courts.
"No matter what procedural hurdles a State's own form imposes, the Federal Form guarantees that a simple means of registering to vote in federal elections will be available," Scalia wrote.
Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach says the state's proof-of-citizenship requirement for new voters can still be enforced after the U.S. Supreme Court ruling against a similar Arizona law.
Kobach says the Kansas law differs enough from Arizona's version that the high court's Monday decision doesn't apply to Kansas.

Hunt vows to punish NHS bullies
Jeremy Hunt has launched an independent review into whistleblowing in the NHS that will be led by the QC who ran the Mid Staffs inquiry.
The health secretary pledged to protect NHS staff who speak out after a campaign led by six of the country's best-known whistleblowers.
The review will be chaired by Sir Robert Francis, QC, whose report into the Mid Staffordshire scandal led to soul-searching in hospitals nationwide. Mr Hunt said the review would ensure that "where NHS whistleblowers are mistreated there are appropriate remedies for staff and accountability for those mistreating them".
His announcement was welcomed by the six whistleblowers. Sharmila Chowdhury, who lost her job and may lose her home after whistleblowing at her NHS trust, said she was "the happiest…

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'DVD' started by Adam_Reiter, Mar 12, 2004.
Master and Commander:
The Far Side Of The World
(2 Disk Collectors Edition)
Good for David P.
WOW! Great review Adam, can't wait to get this. I was trying to decide if I should get the 2-disc collector's edition, now there is no doubt I will!
Unfortunately, there will be two versions - a single disc & a double disc....which means on street date all the major sales will be for the single disc version only my guess is the single disc version will be like $15.99-$17.99 and the 2 disc set will be $26.99-$29.99 Excellent movie though
This only reassures I will pick it up. When the disc's producer says it is a kick ass DTS track, I will take his word on it. Any shots of the packaging Adam?
Nice to hear the dvd has such good picture and sound. I can only imagine what the D-Theater version is going to look and sound like with its 1080i picture and 1.5 Mbps DTS track. Cant wait. --Edward
Actually the disk I got is the super secret versions that I have to send back in 5 days. Mine came with the packaging of the Single disk release, and the Disk 2 is just plain jane with the plain words: Master and Commander Disk 2 in black. Sorta like how my X-Men 2 disks were. I did not get final packaging sent to me. Plus I now have to drop it in the mail and send it back.
I loved this movie and saw it twice in the theater. Am picking up the two disk set for sure!
Sounds very good. I may have to make this rather expensive blind buy.
Can't wait for this one. I read my first O'Brian book, the horribly titled "Nutmeg of Consolation", while on a Med Cruise on board USS PONCE which I found in the ship's library. Guess I may have to retire my copy of "Gettysburg" if I want to use cannon fire for a speaker demo.
What about those red dots (whatever that copy protection is called) that people complained about in the theater (seeing them in the ocean)? I hope that didn't transfer to the DVD!
Adam, are the DD and DTS tracks flagged with EX and ES encoding? I hate having to switch the EX and ES on manually.
I'd really hope those aren't there. They're not supposed to be on dvd's. And I for one will be royally pissed if they show up, because it destroyed the presentation of the movie in the theater. All those wonderful storm scenes just lose a lot of their magic if you're watching dots pop up all the time.
I did not notice any of the red dots, so that shouldn't be an issue. And unfortunately it is not DTS-ES. I used mine manually.
The CAP codes (red dots) are for theatres only. Solid review, Adam. I'm glad the presenation is A+, this was in my Top 5 films of last year and I can't wait to experience it again.
Excellent Review! I was gonna get this on release day anyway but now its 100% confirmed! Thanks Greg
Wow! This looks impressive! I never got around to seeing this in the theater, but will definitely pick up the DVD. Nice review. Thanks! Todd
This sucks, 6 weeks + before street date. After reading your review Adam I just dying to see this. I passed in the theater (as I usually do) so this will make for one awesome blind buy. Very happy to hear FOX did a first rate job with the 2-disk set. Peace Out~
Adam, were the first five screen caps night scenes? They are very dark on my calibrated monitor.
Adam, I think you made a mistake on the release date. You list it as coming May 20th, when it is actually April 20th. Anyway, will be picking this up on release date. Thanks for a great review. Joe
