Review of Amateur Pages:
You might say that places like Amateurpages.com are like the dinosaurs. The asteroid hasn't reset the biomatrix of Porn Planet, but these creatures days may be numbered; unless they, like the pre-historic cockroach, have something to protect them from the nuclear winter.
This place is an outdated mess. The layout screams 1995 porn magazine content, and some of the color choices for text and borders just really bothered me. I always prefer sleek and clean, which of course lends itself to quick and easy site navigation. So much of the supposed content links lead to teaser stuff and shake-the-can sign-up begging.
The one positive I can tell you about this place is you get hundreds upon hundreds of pics, enough to mess around with for a couple of weeks, depending on your porn comsumption meter. If you're high on the spooge chain, you're only looking at maybe a week, tops. Their are some decent sets here, but again, you can tell that a lot of is old, crusty material that seen its better days.
Videophiles should avoid this tarpit, as all they have is a bunch of crap, what better way can I say it. About all you can get are teasers, since almost everything you hit on your way down the scale is can-shake. It's like going to a cheapo strip club...a bunch of girls beg for you to buy them $20 glasses of ice water and don't even try to help you suspend your disbelief that the only thing they give a shit about is feeding on your wallet.
Bottom-of-the-barrel leased "live" feeds all over the place. If you go to one of them, you get locked into downloading their special "crapware" and can't back out of the page. I'm not sure how this business tactic works (maybe on dumbasses), but it never has on me or any of my friends that I'm aware of.
Besides half the content being ads unto themselves, there are banners blinking all over the place, to the point where you need aspirin. O.K., Vicodin. Like Tivo, people want the option of cutting out the commerical. Sometimes you can't cut it out completely, but their is no good excuse for this garbage except to line pockets and let members suffer when they overdo it like this.
No sense is going on. The only way you won't feel cheated is maybe sign up for the three day. After that, pull the hell out, man. There's a giant rock heading this way.
BOTTOM LINE: Kill this bug before it multiplies
$3.95 three day trial
$39.95 one month (recurring)

Discussion in 'Pacific Life Open' started by Maco_Andrej, Mar 19, 2006.
sould it be a grand slam its so good it sould be a grand slam.......
why do you reply to yourself so many times?
and no if any masters series events should be a grandslam id probably be Nasdaq 100(miami), which is already considered the 5th slam
or the Tennis Masters cup, to which the winner recieves the same amount of points as winning a grandslam and its includes only the top 8 players in the world, if i recall correctly
Maco Andrej is absolutly pathetic.
Maco Andrej is absolutely crazy.
So what if there are a few good matches? Cristophe Rochus got aced 8 times in a row by Stepanek in the finals of Rotterdam. Amazing! Let's make that a grand slam too! And those Tier IIIs. Definitely grand slam material you know?
Yeah you're a few clowns short of a circus.
Maco, are you a real Macedonian or a Greek Macedonian wannabe?
Mate, are you stupid? Seriously.
Stop making all these pointless threads.

Port of Port Angeles OKs 2013 budget, property tax increase
By Jeremy Schwartz
Peninsula Daily News

Most Popular this week
Want more top stories? Sign up here for daily or weekly newsletters with our top news.
The total $17.4 million budget includes $6.2 million in the general fund, which pays for the port's day-to-day operations.
The approved 2013 budget calls for the elimination of four port positions through retirement, attrition and not filling vacant positions, which brings the port's full-time positions from 40 in 2012 to 36 in 2013.
The 1 percent property tax increase, which is permitted by law with a commissioner vote, is expected to bring in about $13,000 more in property taxes in 2013 than this year.
The roughly $13,500 more from property taxes joins an estimated $13,800 more generated from new construction for 2013, port Finance Director Karen Goschen said at Tuesday's meeting.
New revenue
In total, Goschen said she expects the port will bring in about $1.38 million in property tax and new construction revenue in 2013.
The Clallam County Assessor's Office has estimated new construction for 2013 valued at about $77 million, Goschen said.
According to the estimated levy rate for 2013, the 1 percent property tax increase translates to the owner of a home assessed at $180,000 paying about $35 in total property taxes to the port in 2013.
That's a 7 percent increase from the roughly $33 the same homeowner would have paid in 2012.
Port commissioners did not call for property tax increases in 2012, 2010 and 2009, Goschen said, meaning the port has about $34,000 in "banked capacity" available to draw from through future property tax increases.
Salaries, wages
Salaries and wages for port employees will increase by the consumer-price-index threshold of 1.3 percent, according to the 2013 budget.
On the capital expenditures side, the port expects to spend about $1.9 million of its own money, with the remaining amount comprising the total $3.9 million capital improvement budget eventually reimbursed through federal grants.
PenPly, harbor cleanup
Nearly three-quarters of the port's planned capital expenditures for 2013 will go toward demolition and environmental cleanup of the 19-acre former Peninsula Plywood mill site at Marine Drive and the port's share of the Port Angeles Harbor cleanup work.
According to the 2013 budget, the port expects to spend about $525,000 per year in 2013 and 2014 for its share of the harbor cleanup, the responsibility of which the state Department of Ecology has said the port shares with the city of Port Angeles, Nippon Paper Industries USA and Georgia Pacific LLC.
The port has set aside $450,000 for demolition and cleanup of the PenPly site for 2013, according to the budget, which the state Department of Ecology is requiring in order to remove hydraulic oil, benzene and other pollutants left over from the PenPly mill's operation.
The port expects to spend about $3.1 million from 2013 to 2017 for the cleanup of the PenPly site, with demolition work expected to start by the end of this December.
Port Commissioner Jim Calhoun said in October that Ecology has made a $2 million grant available to the port to help pay for the demolition and cleanup work.
Port commissioners lauded the work Goschen and her staff had put into the 2013 budget, which commissioners said was clearly laid out and explained.
"I thought it was very well-presented," Commissioner Jim Hallett said.
"It's different from how I've seen it presented here, and I think it's more consumer-friendly."

Rate Adaptation for 802.11 Multiuser MIMO Networks
In Multi-User MIMO (MU-MIMO) networks, the optimal bit rate of a user is highly dynamic and changes from one packet to the next. This breaks traditional bit rate adaptation algorithms, which rely on recent history to predict the best bit rate for the next packet. To address this problem, the authors introduce TurboRate, a rate adaptation scheme for MU-MIMO LANs. TurboRate shows that clients in a MU-MIMO LAN can adapt their bit rate on a per-packet basis if each client learns two variables: its SNR when it transmits alone to the access point, and the direction along which its signal is received at the AP. TurboRate also shows that each client can compute these two variables passively without exchanging control frames with the access point.

Marti from Michigan...Bill Schuette was elected Attorney General. Prior to that, he was a judge on the MI Ct. of Appeals. Pretty solid record.
The race for AG inside the MI-GOP was between Bill Schuette and Mike Bishop. I met both candidates. Bill was absolutely genuine, not at all prideful. The other one didn't even look me in the eye when he spoke. Their presentations at the GOP convention were quite telling, as well.
I would submit to all of you...that, prior to elections, it is a wise endeavor to try and meet your candidates - as well as their opponents - whenever possible. You will get a much better idea of what they are really like, if you can zero in on factors like eye contact, responsiveness to questions, body language, etc. I'm not saying there aren't candidates out there who can't pull the wool over your eyes, but, you will feel far more confident about your choice if you can meet the candidate in person.

Is our new AG using the 62,000 dollar gym that Cox had built? It's projects like this, and we all know every state enjoys spending this way, that can be cut therefor lessen the wounds of where they are taking the hatchet to now. And how about making Congress and the State Reps pay for their own health care? No more perks at the tax payer expense. Let them pay for the luxuries they wallow in. To be of compromise, they could write some off at tax time. I thought we were supposed to see gov't spending cuts? I'm referring to what they spend on themselves with our tax monies.
#88 Feb 28, 2011
Say what you may... Mr. Cox wasn't as bad as some of our previous AG's. Had an issue with a West Michigan Bank a few years ago. With precise (software) timing, the federally insured institution set my daughter in arrears to which Dad had to take care of. In opposition to the "Uniform Banking Code", which made any transaction (as they performed it) illegal. I dropped the dime (as did many others). I contacted Mr. Coxs' office... and within 2 days, a certain bank manager was more than sickingly nice (has been for 2 yrs. now). Imagine that. The same financial institution may owe you money. Yet, they only are required to go back 3 years if my info is correct (even though they played an illegal game for 7 years+). Oh well, better a little something than nothing at all.

So, did you get your wish? Bill Schuette was the first AG of the 14 medical marijuana states to say that the registry, which is protected by state law, should be given over to the DEA because they requested it. All other states turned down this request because they respect the people rights and their will. If B.S. believes that is right, then let him pay $42,000 in fines and let him spend the next 21 years in jail as that is our state law. He is in direct opposition to the will of 63% of our voters and by this opposition is, in fact, going to cost us, the taxpayers, much money paying out the wrongful lawsuits and arrests. But don't worry because it looks like Oakland County will be paying out the most money thanks to Sheriff Bouchard and his 'stomp on citizens rights campaign. I read in the 2008 election that there were 1.1 million more votes for medical marijuana than Rick Snyder and 1.5 million more votes for medical marijuana than for Bill S. Hopefully this will mean something down the road. Certainly with all of the financial woes we can regulate and tax medical marijuana. Remember marijuana is the 22nd most dangerous drug right behind aspirin.

What bound all so-called America First movements prior to World War II was their common hatred for labor unions, Communists and Socialists, Jews, and most definitely, the administration of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Vereides Prayer Breakfast Movement, pro-Nazi German groups like the Bund, and a resurgent Ku Klux Klan had more than propaganda in common they had an interlocking leadership and a coordinated political agenda.
Not only was Vereide pro-Hitler, he was the only Norwegian of note, who was not officially a Nazi, who never condemned Norwegian Nazi leader Vidkun Quisling, a man whose name has become synonymous with traitor and who was executed in 1945. Vereide and Quisling were almost the same age, Vereide was born in 1886, Quisling in 1887. They both shared a link with the clergy, Vereide was a Methodist minister and Quisling was the son of a Lutheran minister. The Norwegian link to the Fellowship continues to this day but more on that later.
Another pro-Nazi Christian fundamentalist group that arose in the pre-Second World War years was the Moral Rearmament Movement. One recommendation of the Fraser Committee went unheeded by the incoming Reagan administration: a White House Task Force to investigate Moon and his operations. George H. W. Bushs hat trick with the Iranian hostage takers ensured that Moon would not have to worry about White House interference.

Where Those Who Now Run the U.S. Government Came From and Where They Are Taking Us
By Wayne Madsen
Junior Bushs time in San Diego at a Christian drug and alcohol rehabilitation center is where the future President of the United States would first be given large doses of Jesus indoctrination. With Nixons resignation in disgrace and the Republicans taking a beating in the 1974 elections, little did the Fellowship realize what a huge catch they had made in George W. Bush. Gerald Fords administration vainly tried to salvage the Republican cause but Ford would be defeated in the 1976 race against a born-again Christian, nuclear submarine commander, and former peanut farmer from Georgia named Jimmy Carter. True,
Frank Olson was an American citizen, born in 1910 and murdered in New York City in 1953 by the CIA. Here's an outline of the case:
Following the end of World War II the U.S. conducted "Operation Paperclip", which scoured Germany for Nazi scientists who could be useful. It found some who had conducted experiments on prisoners in Dachau and other Nazi concentration camps, including one Kurt Blome. He was among the defendants in the Nuremberg War Trials, and would have been convicted and hanged but for American intervention. In return for agreeing to provide information to the Americans about his experiments in Dachau, and advice in the development of their own germ warfare program, an acquittal was arranged, and he escaped the gallows.
The fact that Frank Olson had died shortly after being given LSD in a CIA experiment came out in 1975 as a consequence of President Ford's Rockefeller Commission further investigation was suppressed and the whole matter covered up. The names of those White House advisers were Dick Cheney, current U.S. Vice-President, and Donald Rumsfeld, current Secretary of Defense. They have never been questioned as to what they knew about Olson's death.
#106 Mar 31, 2011
A California history professor, Kathryn Olmstead, has discovered documents at the Gerald Ford library which were written by Cheney and Rumsfeld.
They show how far the White House went to conceal information about Olson's death and his role in preparing anthrax and other biological weapons....
Cheney and Rumsfeld were given the task of covering up the details of Frank Olson's death. At the time, Rumsfeld was White House Chief of Staff to President Gerald Ford. Dick Cheney was a senior White House assistant.
The documents uncovered by Professor Olmstead include one that states "Dr Olson's job was so sensitive that it is highly unlikely that we would submit relevant evidence".
In another memo, Cheney acknowledges that "the Olson lawyers will seek to explore all the circumstances of Dr Olson's employment, as well as those concerning his death. In any trial, it may become apparent that we are concealing evidence for national security reasons and any settlement or judgement reached thereafter could be perceived as money paid to cover up the activities of the CIA".
Frank Olson's family received US$750,000 to settle their claims against the US government.

Statue unveiled in Ukraine pays tribute to Steve Jobs
Steve Jobs was a very influential person on the current generation. One place that this is very evident is in the amount of artwork that has been dedicated to the late co-founder of Apple. One of the newest pieces, designed by Cryil Maksimenko of Ukraine, is one of my personal favorites that I've seen. Inside a statue made of various gears and miscellaneous bike, motorcycle, and car parts is an Apple logo. On the base of the monument, there is even a plaque stating "Thanks, Steve". Installed last week in Odessa Ukraine on the one year anniversary since Jobs's passing, this statue really took some creativity. Below are some high resolution shots, including some up close ones.

City have agreed a deal to sign Manchester United starlet Robbie Brady on loan
Sky Sports understands Hull City have agreed a deal to re-sign Manchester United starlet Robbie Brady on loan
By Pete O'Rourke - Follow me: @skysportspeteo
Last Updated: 05/11/12 5:59pm
Brady enjoyed a successful spell on loan at Hull last season, making 39 appearances for the Tigers.
Hull boss Steve Bruce has moved to bring the versatile Brady back to the KC Stadium after seeing a number of players pick up injuries.
Brady is highly-regarded within the corridors of power at Old Trafford and he made his first-team debut in the recent Capital One Cup win over Newcastle earlier this season.
A number of clubs are thought to have enquired about signing Brady on loan, but Bruce has used his good relationship with Ferguson to help him win the race for the Republic of Ireland star's signature.
Brady is set to go straight into the side to face Wolves on Tuesday night.

Volk, Zacher meet on court as teammates
Dickinson Trinity's Jacob Volk and Beulah's Trevor Zacher know each other very well.
Over the last six years, the two have stepped on the basketball court to play against each other in a clash of top-ranked teams in Class B District 14 and Region 7 championships.
However, Volk and Zacher will take the floor as teammates during the Lions All-Star series beginning today in Fargo and concluding Wednesday in Bismarck.
"It's extremely fun to play with Volk," Zacher said. "He's really good. He's a stud. We know each other's game so well, so there's kind of that trust factor there."
Volk added: "It will be nice playing with him finally. We've been going head-to-head for the last six years, but it will be nice to be on the same team."
Each player had standout careers for their high school teams. Both were named Mr. Basketball finalists -- a rarity for players who play in the same district. Volk averaged 20 points, seven rebounds, three assists and two steals. Zacher supplied 18 points, six rebounds, three assists and three steals per game.
Volk, who finished his prep career second in Trinity history with 1,177 points, was an all-state first-team selection and helped the Titans take fifth place at the 2013 Class B state basketball tournament and fourth place as a sophomore in 2011 when he led the team in scoring. The Titans' standout is committed to play basketball at Dickinson State.
"It's an honor to be voted," Volk said of being named to the all-star team. "I know most of these guys through AAU basketball, so we know each other that way. It will definitely be fun."
Zacher helped Beulah win the 2012 Class B state basketball championship. During the Miners' 2012 state title run, Zacher was named Most Valuable Player in the tournament. He is committed to play basketball at South Dakota Mines.
"It's a prestigious award, because not many people get to play in this game," Zacher said. "It should be really exciting."
The Lions All-Star series isn't the first all-star game Zacher has competed in this summer. He also played quarterback for Team North Dakota during the Badlands Bowl football game.
"Basketball is definitely my first love," Zacher said. "At the beginning of the season, it was never about playing well enough to be in an All-Star game, but it just kind of happened."
Volk and Zacher, who have been roommates since practice started Friday, said the Class B team has continued to gain chemistry throughout each practice.
"During the first three days of practice, we were still just progressing and getting a feel for each other's game," Volk said. "After the three days now, we are starting to get to know each other pretty well."
Zacher added: "It takes a while to play with a team, but everyone here has a high basketball IQ. It hasn't been hard and everyone is just playing together."

The other was this wonderful folding Kodak that looked similar to some brownie's I have seen, but larger. There is a door in the back revealing a ground glass, and as far as I can tell there is no spot for anything like a modern film holder. The back pulls backwards on some spring like feeling thing revealing the inside, presumably where the film goes. Does anyone know anything about this camera? The markings on it are as follows: Lens: Bausch & Lomb Optical Co. 3 1/4 X 5 1/2 Planatograph f8 E.F. 6 3/4" Inside the door for the groundglass: 3-A Pocket C Pat. Oct 20, 1903 July 21, 1896 July 5 (I think) 1902 Oct 19, 1909 Feb 4, 1908 Mar 21, 1911 July 8, 1913 Manufactured by Eastman Kodak Co. Successor to Rochester Optical Co. Rochester, NY, USA 0913 The camera is covered in leather, and embossed on the carry strap is the word "Premo", spelled just like that. There is a small dot on top of the main body of the camera that says, "The Premo Camera Made In Canada" It folds up, and could work in wide orientation, but the tripod mount is placed so it is mainly vertical for tripod use. At first glance it seems to be light tight, the aperture and shutter controls work, how well I don't know. The shutter seems quite fast at 1, 2, and 5. When it sits for a few minutes the first click it will seem appropriately slow, and then speed up again. There is also a sort of mirror viewfinder on the top. The dealer was asking $175 CDN$, would you suggest going for it and taking it in for a shutter and aperture adjustment? I haven't been able to find much info on the camera, but it seems to be a plate type. Is there a film holder, or just shoot then process like it seems? Would 4x5 film work, or would I need to somehow scrounge up the proper size plate? Thanks for the help everyone! I appreciate the great welcome I've been given! - Justin Silber

Three vehicle crash in Schuylkill
State police at Schuylkill Haven reported investigating a three vehicle crash about 1:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Jan. 27, along Molleystown Road in Tremont Township, Schuylkill County.
Troopers said Christopher R. Wright, 32, of Berwick, was entering the road from the Raceway Truck Stop to go eastbound and crashed into the side rear door of a Nissan Sentra, driven by Kathy M. Smith, 49, of Tremont, with his 2007 Chevorlet Impala. After impact the Sentra spun counter-clockwise 45 degrees traveling into the westbound lane and striking a 1993 Mercury driven by Jennifer M. Coomb, 36, of Cornish, N.H., who was westbound at the time.
After impact the Mercury spun counter-clockwise 45 degrees and came to rest in the parking lot of the truck stop.
Coomb was injured and taken to the Schuylkill Medical Center East, Pottsville. No one else was injured.
Troopers cited Wright for vehicles entering or crossing a roadway.
Troopers also reported probing a crash about 2:40 p.m. on Jan. 24 along SR61 in Ontelaunee Township, Berks County. Troopers said Carolyn R. Caporuscio, 47, of Mohrsville, was exiting the lot at Sheetz MiniMart to turn right onto 61 and pulled into the path of David J. Mete, 59, of Pottsville, who was northbound. The front of Mete's Lexus ES struck the rear of Caporuscio's 2006 Honda Element, troopers said.
No one was injured. The Lexus had to be towed from the scene.
Troopers cited Caporuscio for roadways laned for traffic.

Compared with September 2012, the SA index surged 8.4%, which is the largest year-over-year gain since December 2011. Year-to-date, compared with the same period in 2012, the tonnage index is up 5.4%.
The not seasonally adjusted index, which represents the change in tonnage actually hauled by the fleets before any seasonal adjustment, equaled 128.1 in September, which was 2.5% below the previous month (131.3).
"I continue to be pleasantly surprised on the strength of truck tonnage," ATA Chief Economist Bob Costello said. "I attribute a part of tonnage's robustness to the sectors of the economy that are growing fastest, like housing construction, auto production, and energy output. These industries produce heavier than average freight, which leads to faster growth in tonnage versus a load or shipment measure.
"While tonnage is likely running ahead of overall economic growth, perhaps the economy is stronger than many believe. The index has now increased in four of the last five months and the year-over-year growth rate has accelerated. Plus, other measures of truck freight volumes, while increasing at a slower pace than tonnage, have also accelerated in recent months," he said. "However, the government shutdown served as a headwind in the fourth quarter."

Hair braids or hair plaits were known to be the most dynamic trends a few decades ago. Especially in African and American culture hair braids or hair plaits were known to be the most fashionable hairstyle. Even in India, it is a common sight to see women with a neat hair braid. With the changing times we have seen that braids have been managed to create thousands of styles and make millions of statements.
Hair braids, now come in different styles, but this form of hairstyle has never gone wrong and will never do. Though there are many kinds of hairstyles that we imbibe in our daily lives. But hair braids stays classic forever. In the meanwhile, it is important to note that, in order to braid your hair, it is necessary to know that your hair should have the accurate length in order to sport braids. With long hair, various hair braids can be adopted for different occasions. If you want to keep it simple, just a neat tucked pleat is the best option. Apart from that, if you want to don different yet stylish look, you can go for other types of braids which not only makes you elegant but is also a stylish.
The Fishtail
Fishtail is catching the trend. In order to get a fishtail all you have to do is start with just two section of the hair. This hairdo looks really great with both western and traditional outfits.
If you do not want your hair to cover your forehead or eyes, then this is the best hairstyle. Fringe braid looks like a band worn just above the forehead. You can make it look stylish by either creating prominent braids or much smaller ones. This braid serves a great purpose and it looks adorable.
Jasmine Braid
We all have seen 'Aladdin' series once in our lifetime. This hairdo is similar to that of his girlfriend Princess Jasmine. It is a type of a French braid where the hair should be plaited along the way to accomplish the look. It is quite a long braid and in order to get the right look, you should have a long and dense hair.
Traditional Milkmaid
This hairstyle is almost like a tie back hair braid. This hair braid just needs two braided pigtails crossed atop the head. It looks elegant and can be dressed up or down.
Downward Milkmaid
The downward milkmaid hair braid can be achieved by loosely tying the french braid. Segregate the hair into three to four sections. This can be worn passing it across one another near the neckline or can be let loose.
Full Crown braid
This is also one of the most common hairdo we all sported as kids. This hairdo starts behind one ear and goes above or around the head. It is a cool-looking hairdo.
Classic French Hair braid
This is one of the famous hair braids ever known. The French braid is a beautiful and classic hairstyle. It may appear to look complicated, but the finished effect will be worth the effort.
The Tie-Back braid
This hairstyle can be the most fashionable yet giving a classy look. This hair braid can be styled by using the front part of your hair, particularly the ones in front of your ears, make a braid on each side and secure them together in the back. Pinning the plaits underneath the
hair will complete the look and makes you look beautiful.
Here are some of the beautiful types of hair braids that you can try to look neat yet stylish:

As with most things in the forty years of pop culture since they changed the dynamic, it's all The Beatles' fault. Had they not found success both musically and in movies, we wouldn't have to put up with the notion that the two mediums should continuously cross. Actually, Elvis really got the ball rolling, but the boy from Tupelo was more of an advertisement than an actor. No, the Fab Four illustrated quite effectively that the charm and wit they showed on vinyl could easily translate to celluloid. Thanks to their Hard Day's/Help triumphs, Britain branded all of its '60s invaders marketable. From Herman's Hermits (who starred in Hold On! And Mrs. Brown You've Got a Lovely Daughter), Gerry and the Pacemakers (in Ferry Cross the Mersey), to later stars like the loveable Sex Pistols (The Great Rock and Roll Swindle), the UK loves to put its hit parade idols in stunted starring vehicles. Spice World is a perfect example of this misguided ideal. Hoping to be an ironic mockery of the whole musical tour genre, what we get instead are five fluffy mannequins who are frequently out-acted by a double-decker bus.
The Plot:
The DVD:
The plot is pointless, a couple of days in the life of some less than appealing superstars. As performers, the girls are listless and contrived. Emma "Baby Spice" Bunton plays the coo-coo cupie doll card so often you want to slap the pigtails off her head, while Mel "Sport Spice" Chisholm's sole contribution is a never-ending stream of football (aka soccer) riffs. Mel "Having Eddie Murphy's Baby - Scary Spice" Brown is all overdone Leeds accent, while the soon to be Mrs. Beckham, Victoria "Posh" Spice is Gucci obsessed and snooty. Talk about original! All they need is a guy dressed in drag screeching in a proto-pepperpot voice to really capture the essence of UK jive. Instead, we get Australia's Barry Humphries as a pseudo Rupert Murdoch, Rocky Horror composer/star Richard O'Brien as a menacing paparazzi, Richard E Grant as their hyperactive manager (a jab at their real life guide, the hated Simon Fuller???), and Meatloaf as the babes' driver. Toss in Alan Cummings as a doltish documentarian, George Wendt and The Kids in the Hall's Mark McKinney as movie pitch men, and Roger Moore as the befuddled chief, and you've got a company only a casting director could concoct.
Perhaps the saddest bit of news extracted from this travesty is the lack of energy shown by director Bob Spiers. This is the man who lifted The Goodies, Fawlty Towers, Bottom, and Absolutely Fabulous to the heights of English Television humor, and yet his work with the Spice sluts dies like a gutted halibut. Running gags choke on their own vomit, while certain scenes appear cobbled together from random takes. Granted, it must have been hard to work with these non-actresses, dialogue readings resembling pick up lines in lonely dive bars, but something here should have sizzled. You've got Stephen Fry and Jennifer Saunders. The script was written by Kim Fuller, a crack Brit scribe. The situation was rife for some ego deflating satire all around. Indeed, the great thing A Hard Day's Night did was turn Beatlemania into a full blown farce. In Spice World, the girls still believe their own hype. They stay solidly within their archetypes and let the narrative nod off around them. When compared to crap like Cool as Ice, or anything made by Madonna, this soured little sweet is innocuous enough. But for a band as already shallow as this frisky quintet, an equally phony film just won't do. Sadly, that's all we end up with here.

EA allegedly considering two ways of re-introducing microtransactions into Star Wars Battlefront 2; Details
Nov 17, 2017 | 18 Comments
360 owners; do you happen to remember the EA title Grand Slam Tennis? Most likely not, because, unfortunately, that title never made its way to the Xbox 360, but EA has announced that Grand Slam Tennis 2, the sequel to the first, will be coming to both the Xbox 360 and PS3 in 2012.
Featuring many of tennis' biggest stars, the title is ambitiously looking to become the best tennis game on the market. Along with past and present players, tennis' biggest tournaments and courts will be included for you to play on.
EA has released the first trailer of the game which can be seen by clicking here.

Corporate America is letting the sun shine in on second-quarter profit outlooks, raising hope that the first quarter's storms are past.
Second-quarter outlooks for S&P 500 companies so far are much more optimistic than the last two quarters. Fewer companies are cutting estimates and those that are reducing forecasts haven't done so as aggressively as in the past.
As a result, the market has rebounded from its recent selloff. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index has climbed 3.5 percent in the last eight trading sessions, leaving it less than 1 percent from its all-time closing high.
"The downward revisions for the second quarter right now are very, very mild," said Nick Raich, chief executive officer of The Earnings Scout, an independent research firm specializing in earnings trends, in Cleveland.
"That's the positive for this earnings season."
Negative outlooks still outnumber positive ones for the second quarter, but at a ratio of 2.9 to 1, they are well below the 4.7-to-1 ratio at a similar point in the previous earnings period and the 7.8-to-1 ratio for the one before that, Thomson Reuters data showed.
Surprisingly strong results have come from many high-profile names, including Apple, Caterpillar, Netflix and United Technologies.
That's offset what Wall Street had expected to be a lackluster first quarter. Estimates were slashed, heading into this earnings period as the unusually harsh winter hampered transportation, kept people out of stores and raised heating costs.
First-quarter earnings are in so far from just about 200 of the S&P 500 companies.
So far, 69 percent of companies have beaten analysts' expectations, above the long-term average of 63 percent, Thomson Reuters data showed. Growth is forecast to come in at 2.9 percent, compared with forecasts for sub-1 percent growth before earnings started.
"It's not a dismal first quarter," said Bucky Hellwig, senior vice president of BB&T Wealth Management in Birmingham, Alabama. But "it's still skewed with the reductions in estimates."
Estimates for the second quarter, meanwhile, have barely moved since April 1 at a time when they'd be expected to drop.
Among the 83 S&P 500 companies that reported results through last week, Raich said the average drop in earnings estimates was 1.1 percent - the smallest in three years.
Expected growth in second-quarter profit is currently 8.1 percent, compared with 8.4 percent on April 1, Thomson Reuters data showed. Forecasts have increased for three of the 10 S&P 500 sectors - healthcare, industrials and telecommunications - since April 1.
Helping to relieve concerns, United Technologies, Coca-Cola , General Motors and McDonald's all reported strong results from their China operations. That's negated one of the market's primary worries that weak demand from the world's second-largest economy would hit profits.
"It is still a little surprising how strong China remains, given what you read," United Technologies' Chief Financial Officer Greg Hayes said in an interview, in reference to the conglomerate's building systems businesses. (Reuters)

Some Fairmont residents have been working non-stop to revitalize their community.
Southside runs from the Spanky Roberts Bridge to Fourth Street and from Virginia Avenue to Albert Court.
The Southside Committee said it has an attachment to the area and wants to see it improved.
It's even working on restoring or demolishing buildings to make way for new businesses and has met recently with the Division of Highways to discuss adding a new bridge to the neighborhood.
"It is kind of going to help clear traffic or help move traffic from the downtown Gateway Connector all of the way to where Fairmont General Hospital is and Fairmont State College is," said Bob Gribben, of Southside Committee.
The Division of Highways could start building the bridge this summer.

TOKYO, March 2 (UPI) -- A technology research expert said Japanese electronics giant Sony has embraced a new focus on mobile technology due to its potential for growth.
"Sony has realized that mobile is so central to what Sony the corporation does. It is probably the most important things that it does from now on," said Shaun Collins, chief executive officer of mobile technology research firm CCS Insight.
The Wall Street Journal reported Saturday that sales of traditional electronic devices are floundering, as the smartphone becomes a kind of do-all device that saps sales of cameras, video recorders and even music players, gaming platforms, televisions and computers.
Sony's sales of video camcorders is down 9 percent, while digital compact camera sales are off 29 percent. Television sales are down 31 percent in a 12 month span ending in March, the Journal said.
Sony's smartphone sales, concurrently, are expected to grow 50 percent.
This year, Sony is counting on the Xperia Z smartphone, which went on sale in early February.
Sales are off to a brisk start, the Journal said. They were helped when the head of telecommunications carrier NTT DoCoMo Inc., endorsed the Xperia Z at an event in January.
The phone represents hope for Sony's bottom line, but could also stand as a testament to Chief Executive Officer Kazuo Hirai's strategy of using Sony's expertise in various technologies to the company's advantage.
Breaking away from Sony's standard approach of setting up a division to create a smartphone on its own, Hirai had engineers from the company's digital camera division contribute, while engineers from the Bravia television unit worked to give the devise a sharper image in video playback.
The final look was created by an industrial division that could give the phone a classic Sony look, the Journal said.

Encephalopathy (cont.)
More Encephalopathy Causes
Metabolic encephalopathy
Metabolic encephalopathy (toxic metabolic encephalopathy) is a broad category that describes abnormalities of the water, electrolytes, vitamins, and other chemicals that adversely affect brain function. In addition to liver and kidney waste products, it may include abnormally high or low blood sugar (hyperglycemia, hypoglycemia), thyroid problems, and sodium levels in the blood (hyponatremia=low sodium, hypernatremia=high sodium).
Other causes of metabolic encephalopathy include carbon monoxide or cyanide poisoning, which prevents hemoglobin from carrying oxygen in the bloodstream and results in tissue anoxia.
Toxic metabolic encephalopathy can also include medication side effects or drug ingestions affecting the chemical transmitters in the brain. Called neurotransmitters, dopamine, GABA, serotonin, acetylcholine, and glutamine help nerve endings pass electrical signals between brain cells. Alterations in these transmitters can decrease brain function. Concentrations of neurotransmitters and abnormal function can be seen in seizure disorders and Alzheimer's disease.
Structural encephalopathy
Head trauma can cause brain damage due to bleeding in and around the brain. This can cause increased pressure within the skull that presses on brain tissue and cause abnormal brain function. Shear injuries to brain tissue can disrupt the neurons that connect brain cells together. Aside from the direct brain tissue injury, increased pressure buildup within the skull can decrease the amount of blood flow to the brain causing anoxic or hypoxic damage.
Blood supply to the brain may be compromised because of stroke, where one of the arteries to the brain becomes blocked and that part of the brain is replaced with scar tissue. If enough cells are injured, there can be permanent damage. Alternatively, hemorrhagic stroke occurs when bleeding occurs into the brain itself causing damage.
Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE) describes a brain that has gradual degeneration in function because of repeated head injuries causing both concussions with symptoms and those that are asymptomatic. The symptoms of concussion usually fade, but months or years later, new symptoms can occur. CTE symptoms gradually progress. Initially, there may be concentration and memory issues with episodes of disorientation and confusion, dizziness, and headache. Emotions can be labile and the patient can develop aggressive and psychotic behavior. As CTE progresses, the behavior can become erratic and Parkinson's-like symptoms may be seen. Finally, thought processes decrease even further into dementia with more Parkinson's symptoms including speech and walking abnormalities. These symptoms are progressive and cannot be stopped.
The diagnosis of CTE is made clinically. Neither bleeding nor major abnormalities are seen on CT scan and it appears to act like other diseases that attack brain function. It can be confirmed in retrospect on autopsy and dissection of the brain. An abnormal protein called tau builds up in the brain and causes abnormal nerve fiber and cell tangles in the brain. At autopsy, the brain has a different appearance than that seen in Alzheimer's disease.
Uremic encephalopathy
Acute or chronic kidney failure can lead to uremic encephalopathy. When the kidneys fail to adequately cleanse the bloodstream, a variety of toxins can gradually build and cause brain function to decrease. If kidney function is not restored or if dialysis is not instituted, permanent brain tissue damage can occur, ultimately leading to death.

We live in a world that's very different from the one in which Emily Post came of age. Many of us who are nice (but who also sometimes say "f*ck") are frequently at a loss for guidelines about how to be a good person who deals effectively with the onslaught of rudeness we all encounter. To lead us through this this miasma of modern manners, syndicated columnist Amy Alkon - The Advice Goddess - gives us a new set of manners for our 21st-century lives. In chapters titled "The Telephone", "The Internet", "The Apology", and "Communicating", among others, Alkon maps out new rules that go beyond what fork to use to answer real questions we all have:
When is it okay to phone somebody instead of emailing or texting? When is it rude?
Why shouldn't you tweet about a guest at a private dinner party? Everybody knows privacy is dead, right?
How do you shut the guy up in the pharmacy line with his cellphone on speaker?
When is it right to approach somebody who's crying in public and when is it right to leave him alone?
When should you unfriend somebody on Facebook and what do you say when she calls you on it?
If you have an STD, when do you tell people, what do you say, and do you have to contact everyone you've ever had sex with?
Real advice for today with more than a touch of humor, Good Manners for Nice People Who Sometimes Say F*ck is destined to give good old Emily a shove off the etiquette shelf (if that's not too rude to say).

FAT32 Hard Drives - Formatting, Loading, Ripping, Playing
I can't even start the process of softmodding. I copied the letterbomb files in my SD card...but when I'm going to check it on my wii SD menu... there's nothing! 20 pages of nothing! I dunno what am I doing wrong, it's FAT32 formatted, i copied my MAC Address and it's the right region "4.3 U"
Don't got a clue on what is wrong...it's a Kingston SD card...it's not that, right?
dvd err(1160), inquiry
dvd err(1178), disc id
question: Is there any chance that my drive is a d3-2 one even though i've gotten my 20 or so DVD-R backups to work at least once before? I ask because I've seen posts saying that one of those above errors is due to my Wii having the d3-2 drive. I doubt it though. My Wii is an original white one purchased around either late 2006, or early 2007. I can't remember exactly but I know i've had it well before SSB:B came out which was in March 2008.
If it helps any, my serial number is LU30664... etc. I don't think it's a d3-2 drive.
BTW, coincidentally I lost my sd card overnight! So I can't post my sysinfo until I find it or get another one...
You've either got a dirty lens,(use Wii lens cleaner)
or your drive has gone kaput.
btw, I found my sd card!! I ran a syscheck.....
bmarlo or mauifrog.. somebody... please take a quick look if you can..
I compared it to the one in the original post...... why do a lot of mine not say ES Identify? And I also don't have a cmios installed, apparently? :(Quote:

My wii date is wrong... hahaha
Hey BTW, you said my drive is dying? Well, I think it's worth mentioning that once I get the disc to load, it always works FLAWLESS. I've never gotten black screens/freezing/glitching or anything. The problem seems to be getting them to initially load. Does this mean anything good?
Your syscheck is fine. cmios are for GC games.
I'd try the Wii lens cleaner first, and if that doesn't
work, you'll probably have to replace your dvd drive.

Cat killed as car explodes in attack on suburban house0:29
The scene of where a car was torched and a pet cat was "mutilated" at Arundel on the Gold Coast.
WARNING: GRAPHIC CONTENT: A CAR has exploded in flames and a cat killed in a sickening arson attack where the offender then used the animal's blood to scrawl a threat on the wall of an Arundel home this morning.
Police say residents heard a loud explosion at 2.45am and found a Toyota Corolla Ascent on fire in the driveway of a Hazel Court house.
Upon arriving, police discovered the severely mutilated body of a cat nearby.
Police say it had been decapitated and had its paws cut off.
A threat was then written on the exterior wall of the house using the animal's blood.
The threat reportedly said 'whers my money? Tik tok'
Police do not believe the cat belonged to the family whose home was targeted.
Residents were this morning seen washing the bloodied threat off their white garage door as the gutted car sat in the driveway.
Nobody was injured in the incident and investigations are continuing.
It's understood the cat mutilated in the incident did not live in the quiet court.
Neighbour Rhonda Gibson said she was woken up to a call from neighbours concerned that her cat had been killed.
"They said it was a black cat and we have a black cat," she said.
"But we knew it wasn't because when they called our cat was still on the bed."
"So it looks like the cat had been brought there and not killed here."
Ms Gibson said it was a cruel attack.
"It's pretty bad and whoever did it deserves to get a pretty big serve because cats are innocent."
Detective Acting Inspector Greg Aubort said Gold Coast detectives were investigating the arson and animal cruelty.
"Police have attended the scene and found a handwritten message scrawled on the garage door," he said.
"We've also found a dismembered and decapitated cat at the address. The cat's head was located in a different area than the torso, both were found in the vicinity of the front door."
Acting Inspector Aubort said the cat did not belong to the occupants of the home.
"At this stage we can't find any link for the animal to the street or vicinity."
He said the red substance used to write the message on the garage required further testing to find out whether it was blood.
"The reality is it's written in a red substance, the inference could be drawn that it's cat's blood but there's nothing to confirm or deny that at this stage."
Acting Inspector Aubort said police were investigating 'a number of lines of inquiry' as to the motive of the crime.
"We're looking for those links that may shed some light as to the potential motive for such an abhorrent attack on an animal."
"Those inquiries are ongoing."
Anyone with information should call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Specifically, I'd like to recognize Brant Cassell, a former Marine who did two tours in Iraq, for his selflessness and dedication to fight for our freedom. People like Brant are the reason we (no offense Alistair ) can say we live in an amazing, free country. I think it's important that we as ZDC, the ARTCC which covers our Nation's capital, recognize these amazing men and women today. Let this be a reminder of all those who have, are, and will continue to fight for our freedom past, present, and future.

It was our honor this week to have been asked to host the next installment of the Carnival Of The NBA, which features the best NBA writings and rantings on the Web. We've done this once before, with the Carnival Of The NHL, and we're not sure we did all that well. But we're gonna try it again anyway, because we are nothing if not full of blog love. Besides, it's the playoffs, and the NBA has some of the absolute best blogs out there. But you knew that.
If you're interested in being included in the Carnival, email us your best stuff at email@example.com. Deadline to be included is next Monday at high noon, and the ole Carnival will run next Tuesday.
We can't guarantee will do it right, but hey, who doesn't like a Carnival, as they say.
