Trailer for "The Rover," with Guy Pearce and Robert Pattinson
Posted: January 29th, 2014 by
WorstPreviews.com Staff
Today we have the trailer for the upcoming drama, "The Rover," a new film starring Guy Pearce and Robert Pattinson. Check it out below.
Plot: "The Rover" is set in the Australian desert in a dangerous and dysfunctional near future. Eric (Pearce) has left everything and every semblance of human kindness behind him. When his last possession, his car, is stolen by a gang of dangerous criminals, Eric sets off to track them down and is forced along the way to enlist the help of Reynolds (Pattinson), the naive member of the gang left behind in the bloody chaos of the gang's most recent escape.
The new movie is directed by David Michod (Animal Kingdom). A release date has yet to be set.

I will definitely see this.
Guy Pearce knows how to pick his roles, usually.
And if Robert Pattinson keeps going with roles like this, I think hes got potential.
on January 29th, 2014 at 8:14:05 PM
Interesting concept, but casting Pattinson is a misfire. He has no acclaim outside Twilight and hasn't proven himself worthy of an audience outside that fan-base (I never saw Cosmopolis FWIW, and don't see why I should).
Some will argue his role In Rover is an attempt to build that worth, but to me it looks like he's merely playing the game for the sake of money, and I just can't past his previous gay vampire role or that annoying crooked nose.

on January 29th, 2014 at 8:43:28 PM
^^Money and power.
Henry Kissinger said he had beautiful models hit on him, and he said they did so because he was wealthy and important.
Trust me...if Brad Pitt had taken a career as a fry cook at McDonald's instead of a Hollywood mega-star, you know damned well he would have never bagged a woman like Jolie.
He'd instead be fifty, fat, old and worn out in a rusted trailer somewhere getting his knob blown by Stapes'

girls are also pretty good at playing 'monkey see monkey do'
its like a hive mind when you see them in action
"and if Robert Pattinson keeps going with roles like this"...
you mean a homeless Tarantino with Down Syndrome?
then i agree

A more grounded, less fun version of Mad Max. But it does look well-made.

Check out Animal Kingdom if you haven't already. Amazing crime drama. The Aussies know how to make an engaging film.

[SOLVED] Audio (and video) lag/chopping when something downloads.
Hey guys,
a few weeks ago I had to reinstall Windows 7 completely because I broke my old setup by accident. After I reinstalled it and got the audio drivers to work (got them from the MSI website, my motherboard is MSI P7N SLI Platinum), for some reason, anytime something downloads, the audio stutters.
I have 4GB RAM (Although on idle it's more or less 50% used but I do have a lot of programs running, but I always have). Here's what happens: For instance, I'm playing a youtube video. Until it finishes buffering to the end, it will lag and be choppy. It's mostly evident in the audio but I can see it in the video as well. On other websites that carry slightly heavier and less compressed video, such as GameTrailers, watching videos is a nightmare in the beginning until it presumably loads (they don't have a buffer bar sadly but I'll just assume it downloads).
Later on I also noticed this that literally whenever something downloads, seemingly the rest of my computer slows down. While it's technically fine when I just use it, when I play a game and Steam (the digital game vendor by Valve if someone is unaware) starts downloading/updating something, whatever it is I'm playing starts to lag terribly. Note that the games I've noticed this in were also running from Steam, I hadn't really tested others. I'm kind of used to it now and just wait the lag out until Steam finishes updating.
It's really frustrating. Downloading files isn't supposed to do this to computers as far as I know. But for some reason it places such a load on my computer that everything else stutters. Maybe I can change the priority of downloads or something, I read something about IRQ here (no idea what that is really), but if there's some way I can fix this then please let me know. Thanks.

Could you post a snip of your resource monitor on the overview page with CPU, Memory, and Network tabs expanded while downloading something like a youtube video?
|My System Specs
|18 Jun 2011
Here you go. I hope I got a good screenshot. This is while watching a video on GameTrailers, I used that because it's more evident since the videos are uncompressed and lag much more because of this problem (note on my old windows nothing lagged no matter how heavy the video was and on which website).
|My System Specs
|18 Jun 2011
Avast seems to quite busy, using up 9 percent of the network utilization.
It's probably the culprit.
It's resident scanner is always scanning files.
The more stuff you have open, the more stuff it has to scan.
I suspect the video lag you're experiencing is because your files are being scanned as you watch them.
|My System Specs
|18 Jun 2011
I'm going to have to agree with that, since neither your memory nor your CPU are being taxed very much, though 65% seems high for a core 2 quad at almost 3 ghz. Especially since your CPU is running at maximum frequency. Are you overclocked at all?
Try removing Avast and replacing it with MSE and see if the problem persists

Alright, I'll try it. I hope I can remove avast at all because it tends to manifest itself in your machine and not go away even if you want it to lol. I'll let you guys know what happens.
Edit: Holy crap, I think it actually worked. In fact my whole internet browsing feels faster now.
It still stutters a little in the beginning when loading the video on GT (but not much, it's livable), and sometimes doesn't stutter at all (I guess it might depend on however my comp is running at the moment) and later on the video it smoothes out completely.
Thanks guys!

Q: My one guinea pig (I have two) is sick. I know he's sick, but I don't know what it is. His eyes are basically swelled shut, he really doesn't feel like eating, and he doesn't care if we pet him anymore, because he usually runs away. What should I do?
A: Guinea pigs act a lot like many other small mammals in that when they are sick, they try very hard to hide their illness. If the illness progresses and they get sicker, there is a point where they can no longer hide how sick they are feeling.
Because your guinea pig is showing very clear signs of not feeling well, we have to believe that your guinea pig is very sick. When guinea pigs shut their eyes and do not eat, they are very sick.
Another problem we commonly encounter with small mammals is that many different illnesses cause the same signs of sickness in the patient. That means liver disease, kidney disease, heart disease, infection and even dental diseases can look the same.
What does this mean to you and your guinea pig? Your guinea pig needs to see a veterinarian as soon as possible, because it is showing signs of illness, so your guinea pig is very sick. Plus, since the signs that your guinea pig are showing are common in sick guinea pigs, only your veterinarian can give you some idea of what may be wrong with your guinea pig by using physical examination findings.
One other reason to visit your veterinarian as soon as possible is that your other guinea pig could be at risk if this is an infectious disease.

We must discard futile Delay and Pray strategy
We're over-optimistic, overpaid and in denial. It's time to face facts and act now to effect radical change, writes Paul Sommerville
EARLY in 2009, in a debate with Alan Ahearne -- the Minister for Finance's economic adviser -- I described Ireland as "sleepwalking into financial Armageddon", and in late 2010 it is sad to say there is no change in that assessment. While we content ourselves with the laughable "we've turned the corner" and "the worst is over" issued by our politicians and our ever bullish stockbroking community, the pressures on Ireland are intensifying.
What is clear is that the Irish people are in an abusive relationship with their political and protected elite of kingmakers. They can't worry about the nation when they spend all their time worrying about self-preservation. So many people rely on the current corrupt system staying in place that they refuse to see what is happening, as they have their vested interests to protect. Ireland needs to put itself on emergency footing, but those in positions to influence the future of the nation have gone missing in action -- not only our politicians but the entire media seems to have taken the summer off.
While the suicide numbers hit record levels, parents weep at airports, waving goodbye to another generation off to far-flung places to start a new life. Around 460,000 people are looking for work, doctors' surgeries are inundated with over-stressed customers, and we have not had one credible policy idea or plan to get us out of this mess. There is a vacuum and paralysis at the heart of the leadership of this country, in the place it is needed most. The hidden misery behind every statistic is a shameful indictment of how recklessly the economy has been managed.

NEWARK, N.J. (CBSNewYork) – On Monday, Gov. Chris Christie said the scheduled federal spending cuts are having little effect in New Jersey. His successor as U.S. Attorney disagrees.
"Honestly, it has a morale effect on everybody," U.S. Attorney Paul Fishman told WCBS 880 reporter Peter Haskell on Tuesday. "It is, to many people, disheartening."
He said employees are worried.

Bring the exotic flavours of the Caribbean into your home with this colourful West Indian recipe. It works equally well with turkey, and you could substitute some fresh juicy papaya or mango for the pineapple.
Preparation: 10 minutes
Cooking: 40 minutes
Serves: 2
Per serving:
449 kcal
51g protein
50g carbs
5g fat
- 150ml ( int) chicken stock or LighterLife Savoury Stock
- 2 x 125g (4 z) skinless, boneless chicken breasts
- 1 red pepper, deseeded and thinly sliced
- 2 spring onions, sliced
- 1 garlic clove, finely chopped
- 1 red chilli, deseeded and finely chopped
- 2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh root ginger
- 1 x 200g (7oz) can cubed pineapple in natural juice, drained
- 1 tablespoon mango chutney
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon curry paste
- 1 x 200g (7oz) can black beans, drained and rinsed
- freshly ground black pepper
- 60g (2oz) long-grain or basmati rice
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh coriander
- Preheat the oven to 180°C, gas mark 4. Set a heavy-based frying pan over a medium heat, add a little of the stock and cook the chicken breasts for 5–7 minutes each side, until browned. Transfer the chicken to an ovenproof dish.
- Add the red pepper, spring onions, garlic, chilli and ginger to the frying pan, and cook gently for about 5 minutes, until the onions are tender, adding more stock if necessary.
- Stir in the remaining stock, together with the pineapple, mango chutney, brown sugar and curry paste. Bring to a simmer and then pour the mixture over the chicken.
- Bake, uncovered, in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through. Lift out the chicken and keep warm.
- Pour the pineapple and vegetable mixture back into the frying pan and bring to the boil. Simmer, stirring constantly, until the sauce has thickened. Add the black beans, and cook over a medium heat for 2–3 minutes. Season to taste with freshly ground black pepper.
- Meanwhile, cook the rice according to the packet instructions. Drain well and fluff up with a fork. To serve, spoon the pineapple-bean mixture over the chicken, sprinkle with chopped coriander and serve with the rice.
- Pickled jalapeno peppers work well in this recipe – just chop about six of them and add with the black beans. If you don't enjoy spicy foods, omit the chilli altogether; the chicken will still taste delicious.
- For a nutty flavour and more fibre, substitute brown rice for white.
For an even better flavour, use fresh instead of canned pineapple. Take a fresh small pineapple, remove the rind and inner hard core. Cut half of it into cubes and add to the sauce as outlined above. Eat the remaining pineapple as a refreshing dessert with low-fat yoghurt and berry fruits.

Located on the quiet north end of Akumal's Halfmoon Bay, this ground floor, beachfront two bedroom condo is within the highly rated La Sirena complex & is the perfect place to enjoy a tranquil tropical getaway. Just steps away from the sand & ocean less than 100 ft away! Enjoy snorkling? Halfmoon Bay is known for it's fabulous snorkling! Walk to Yal Ku Lagoon
Inside, you will appreciate this tastefully decorated condo with floor to ceiling windows, giving you a panoramic view of the white sand & turquoise waters of the ocean. Each of the 2 bedrooms have very comfortable king- size beds with quality linens. Satellite TV & WIFI
The kitchen is well equipped & you will find everything you need - the owner enjoys cooking & hopes you will too! Each room has a ceiling fan & AC is available. Sit and relax on our private front patio and watch the waves crashing on the reefs. Swim in our pool, Akumals largest in a beautiful tropical garden setting.
The village of Akumal is just 1 hour South of Cancun. There are a variety of great restaurants, bars, unique gift shops, dive shops and grocery stores. Yal Ku Lagoon, one of the most sought out wonders in the area is less than a 5 minute walk away from the condo. This natural body of water is fun to snorkel in and is abundant with tropical fish. Akumal means 'place of the turtle' which is appropriate, for every year giant sea turtles return to lay their eggs in the sand of Halfmoon Bays crescent shaped beach. Tulum is less than 20 minutes away and has one of the areas best site for Mayan Ruins. After you have visited the ruins, spend the day on one of Tulum's beautiful white sandy beaches.
Spent a wonderful week away at this property, would definitely go back again and again. Condo is well appointed, pretty, very clean and has the most beautiful view!
Owner was extremely responsive to any questions and provided tons of great information on how to navigate Akumal and surrounding areas.
Akumal itself is a small town, easily accessed with many different dining and shopping options...you never have to leave and you'll never want to!
Fabulous vacation, definitely going back next year!
Very well apointed apartment,. Has everything you might need. Julie is super nice as well. Great base from which to explore all the great beaches and spots along the coast.
We had an amazing week at Julie's condo. It is very tastefully decorated and you can walk right out the door on to the beach. Our kids enjoyed having the pool as an option too. We had a rental car and I am SO glad we did - saw the Tulum Ruins and beach (worth it for a guided 45 min. tour), Coba Ruins (worth the 1 hour drive), Dos Ojos Cenote, Yal Ku Lagoon (our favorite snorkel time), Akumal snorkeling, La Buena Vida, Turtle Bay & Fish restaurant in Akumal; Simple, Charlie's (Tulum pueblo), Pasha, and Cafe Violeta (our fave) on Tulum beach. Made many trips to Chedraui Grocery store for b'fast foods, snacks and 3 dinners in. Kitchen is well stocked w/basics. Julie was ready to answer any questions and even proactively contacted me before we left for airport and gas tips. Already plotting when we can return!
I returned to this beautifully decorated condo each year as it offers incredible value and the perfect way to enjoy this unique location. You can tell the owner loves this place as it's interior makes you feel comfortable and relaxed. Also have to mention that this unit has the best location to view the entire vista of Akumal Bay. Won't regret booking a getaway here. Great location for snorkeling as well! Michele M
This was our second time visiting La Sirena #3 and I would like to say that now that our kids are grown and we have more time to travel, we hope to come here a lot more in the future. Julie has made this condominium like a home. When you walk in, you immediately notice all of the "touches" she has added to the unit. The décor on the walls, the furniture, it all just adds something to your stay. We love this condo. Everything is as described in the listing and more. The condo is clean and well-maintained as well as well equipped. Further, the bedrooms were huge and very comfortable. Julie was very responsive from the first time that we contacted her. She made the whole booking process so easy. We also were fortunate to have a woman (Tina) come in each morning to clean the condo. We loved her. She was so sweet and she will work around your schedule. Julie gave us a list of restaurants and activities beforehand, some of which we had gone to when we visited the first time but some which were new. She also had some great places to snorkel (i.e. Solomon Islands) which we appreciated. Her tips were really helpful. Don't be afraid to ask her anything. She loves this place! The condo's location right on the beach was heavenly. This is where you want to be! We just love Akumal. We noticed this time around that there were lots of couples our age and older. It was fun to meet people from different states. La Buena Vida and La Lunita are two of our favorite restaurants and they have not changed since the first time we came in 2006. Fabulous food, fabulous environment and low key vibe. Akumal is not Cancun or Cabo....don't come here if that is what you are looking for. BUT if you are looking for a relaxing, laid back and beautiful vacation in a place that is hard to find anywhere, a place where you wake up in the morning, throw on a t-shirt, some shorts, flip flops, mozy down to the Turtle Bay Café for some fresh squeezed watermelon juice then hang out on the beach all day only to mozy once again to La Buena Vida where you can swing from a hammock while you are waiting for your fresh caught fish and beer, come here. And if you do come to Akumal, stay in La Sirena #3; I would say that it is the best location in Akumal. Thank you Julie for making this our little paradise!
We had an AMAZING time at La Sirena. We had last stayed there 6 years ago when our children were just toddlers. It was SO nice to be back. The condo itself is lovely lovely and we love being right on the beach, right at ground level. We also loved, now that the kids are older, being able to go out and explore - everywhere from Tulum (wow has that place changed a lot over the past 20 years!) to Xpu Ha to Sulinam Bay to amazing cenotes. We had a wonderful wonderful time. We love Akumal and we love La Sirena - far enough out of the busyness to be truly relaxing. We'll be back!

Hey people of the interwebs! Welcome to my slice of the internet! Pretty awesome, huh? Nah not really. Anyway, I guess I'll write some stuff about me for you stalkers out there...
I'm a Fringie (isn't that what Fringe Fans are called?) and I'm also a Whovian, Faller, Trekker, and well you get the point.
I love cartoons and think working in animation might be cool someday or y'know being a rockstar wouldn't be to shabby either. I'm a big fan of everything x-men from the cartoons to the movies and should probably check out the comics too.
I love way too many tv shows and movies for my own good so here's a list of some of the shows I love: Monk, Once Upon a Time, The Walking Dead, X-Men, Doctor Who, Star Trek, Big Bang Theory, The Hunger Games, Penguins of Madagascar, Adventure Time, I, Robot and the list could go on
Also check out Gravity Falls because it's the best thing ever especially if you like: mysteries, conspiracy's, secrets, codes, secret codes
Feel free to PM me about whatever. We could fangirl over some fandom or just talk about random stuff.
Stay cool \m/ and Peace!

Edit: Whew this profile hasn't been updated since 8/7/13 and it's almost 2015!! Man this old bio is quite horrid, seriously. But, eh, I'm gonna keep it just cause. Maybe I should actually write a story and post one some day . . . hmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

The company provided support to many of the major dam projects, seismic, logging and also was involved in some of the very first water drop trials with the United States Forest Service. He sadly passed in 2006, however, his legacy and values live on in the company to this day.

Cars have become a near-essential part of life in the 21st century, allowing us to see friends, do business and shop.
Unfortunately, even relatively clean vehicles release toxic emissions which can harm human health and produce foul odours.
But now a European company is preparing to sell a range of vehicles it claims produce no harmful exhaust and actually help clean the atmosphere.
Powered by compressed air, the MDI (Moteur Developpment International) range of "air cars" is expected to be released on European markets this year. They will have a top speed of 110kmh and a maximum range of 300 kilometres.
Its makers predict that, with governments increasingly concerned about the impact of pollution, the vehicles could play a major role in future urban transport.
But critics have questioned the vehicle's claim to be a true emission-free car, saying the compressed air it consumes is produced using electricity, which is generated in fossil fuel-burning power stations.
"The exhaust pipe of the MDI vehicle expels clean air that comes out fresh and does not cause disruptions to any form of life," the company said in a statement. "The air leaves the vehicle cleaner than it entered."
The source of the air car's power is compressed air stored in fibre-glass tanks. Each vehicle has four tanks with a total capacity of 90 litres and capable of storing 90 cubic metres of air under pressure.
To generate motion, the compressed air is transferred slowly to an engine where it is expanded.
The pressure of expansion is used to drive four pistons, and the power from the pistons passes through a transmission and turns the vehicle's wheels.
"The air-conditioning system makes use of the expelled cold air," the company said.
It said that, because of the absence of combustion and the fact there was no pollution, oil changes were only necessary every 50,000 kilometres.
MDI says that because the air pumped into the tanks must be filtered clean, the vehicle ultimately emits air that is cleaner than the normal air in cities. It anticipates petrol stations will soon feature air compressors capable of filling the tanks used by the vehicles in about five minutes and at a cost of about $2.50.
The vehicles will also be able to be charged at home using a compressor in about 3.5 hours.
Some designs for the vehicle a hybrid engine configuration incorporate a petrol engine to give the vehicles a wider range.
At 50 kilometres an hour, the air engine would have a range of about 300 kilometres. At 100 kmh, that would be reduced to 100 kilometres and in an urban environment the car is expected to be able to run for up to 10 hours.
How it works: 90 cubic metres of compressed air is stored in fibre tanks. The expansion of this air pushes the pistons and creates movement.
Cost: In London, it will cost about £5500 ($A13,400).
Length 2.65m

text: Not really food but certainly an aspect worth discussing. I love beer and I am trying to expand my taste. I know of maxs and brewers art but I am looking for places more like Joe Squared. By this I mean they have a selection thats good and varied yet its not overwhelming like maxs or brewers art. Plus maxs and brewers are too well known and sometimes its a pain in the ass to get to the bar and order. I recently found wayne or wade Mahaffreys place in the canton area and I love it. Does anyone know any other places like Joe Squared or Mahaffreys with a good beer selection

Market Report / Gaydamak Deal Sends Enter and Tiv Taam Flying High
Local markets yesterday plummeted as much as 2 percent during the day, but recovered to end with moderate losses. The Tel Aviv-25 fell off just 0.2 percent, to a level of 1,108.48 points, while the broader TA-100 lost 0.4 percent, to close at 1,101.30 points. The Tel-Tech 15 dropped 0.6 percent to 404.46 points.
Market players attributed declines to the European Central Bank's recent decision to raise its prime lending rate to 4.0 percent and to interest rates of over 5.0 percent being offered for 10-year bonds in the U.S.
Shares in Enter Holdings (TASE:ENHD) and Tiv Taam Holdings (TASE:TTAM) were lit up yesterday by the acquisition over the weekend of Tiv Taam from Enter, by Arcadi Gaydamak. News of the NIS 820 million deal, which represents a premium of 80 percent for the food chain, sent shares in Enter leaping 44.6 percent, while Tiv Taam soared 47.5 percent.
The bank index was dragged down 1.5 percent yesterday by its two largest members. Bank Leumi (TASE:LUMI) dropped 2.5 percent on the day's highest turnover, while Bank Hapoalim (TASE:POLI) slipped 1.0 percent.
Israel Chemicals (TASE:CHIM) and the Delek Group (TASE:DLEKG), which hold equal shares in desalination engineering company IDE Technologies were both boosted by reports that IDE had won a $100 million contract to build China's largest seawater desalination plant. IDE will construct the plant for Tianjin SDIC, a state-owned company operating under China's Energy Authority. Delek Group shares ramped up 2.9 percent, while Israel Chemicals gained 2.5 percent.
IDB Development (TASE:IDBD) and its subsidiary Property and Building (TASE:PTBL) traded heavily after announcing a giant deal signed with Yitzhak Tshuva's Elad Group to build exclusive properties in Las Vegas. However, while the parent company rose 0.6 percent, Property and Building shares remained flat.
Teva Pharmaceutical Industries (TASE,NASD:TEVA) opened yesterday with a negative arbitrage gap of 0.4 percent, and ended up falling 1.5 percent, on the news of late last week it would soon commence late phase III testing of its multiple sclerosis treatment candidate laquinimod.

'Kids' Fun Run & Obstacle Course' draws more than 130 to DL City Park
The popularity of obstacle courses and "fun run" events has grown immensely in the past few years.
But most of those events are geared toward adult athletes, says Detroit Lakes Community & Cultural Center wellness coordinator Sallie Eikren.
This past Saturday, however, the DLCCC hosted a new event that was intended to give kids an opportunity to enjoy the same kind of fun.
"We had two different divisions, a half mile run for ages 4-8, and a one mile run for kids ages 9-14," she added.
The "Kids' Fun Run & Obstacle Course," as it was called, drew a total of more than 130 kids.
"That's a great turnout," says Jake Arechigo, a DLCCC summer intern who helped set up and run Saturday's event at the Detroit Lakes City Park.
"That was huge," Eikren agreed, noting that while they only had 40 pre-registered for the event, they had a lot of people show up at the park that day to sign up.
Those who pre-registered also had an opportunity to take part in a "patriotic costume contest," where they could come decked out in red, white and blue and be eligible for prizes.
There were no prizes given for where the kids finished in the actual race, however; the idea was to simply have a good time while challenging themselves to reach the end of the course, Eikren noted.
Though both the half-mile and one-mile events contained challenging obstacles, the longer version had a few more of them, Arechigo said.
"My favorite was the 'over, under and through' obstacle," he added.
Some of the others included the "Muskie Crawl," where kids had to scramble their way under a net that was elevated just far enough off the ground for them to crawl underneath; and the "Turtle Tunnel," a similar obstacle that started out with a slightly larger opening, then went lower and lower to the ground as the kids progressed.
"Our city park was the perfect place to do it," Eikren said. "We had everything we needed there to make it work, and a great staff that likes to build things — Jake and Nick Royer built a lot of the obstacles for us."
"They (the kids) jumped over logs, ran through tires, practiced their balance, got sprayed with water, went under nets, over walls, through the sand — we had a little bit of everything for them," Arechigo added.
There was even a water balloon throwing station where kids could practice their aim —occasionally managing to strike their parents as well as fellow participants.
"The kids got to run obstacles and throw water balloons for an hour," Eikren said. "It was a lot of fun — the parents and grandparents got pretty into it too — they thought it was great!"

In the first quarter of Saturday's win over North Carolina State, Clemson starting running back Wayne Gallman took a devastating hit to the head and was forced out of the game.
On Monday, Tigers head coach Dabo Swinney confirmed Gallman will be held out of practice this week while he goes through concussion protocol.
This is the smart approach for Clemson. It also helps that the Tigers are in no rush to get Gallman back on the practice field because Clemson is off this weekend.
The No. 4 Tigers return to action Saturday, Oct. 29 against the Florida State Seminoles.
If everything goes according to plan, Clemson will enter the important ACC clash later this month with its starting running back in the lineup. This season, Gallman leads the Tigers with 489 rushing yards and five touchdowns.

It's hard to believe that we're only three months away from the 3rd Annual Pat's Myeloma Beach Party. The event is a "party" in name only; there will be 15 myeloma experts on hand to address topics that last year's attendees and readers feel are most important to them.
The three day event is scheduled April 1st – April 3rd in Fernandina Beach on picturesque Amelia Island.
As a reminder, the $60 registration fee includes a swag bag full of fun gifts and coupons, an awesome catered dinner on April 1st, lunch and a dinner on Saturday, April 2nd and brunch on Sunday, April 3rd. Register before the end of the year and the registration fee is discounted $15 to $45. Last year 120 registered; we're expecting between 150 and 200 patients and caregivers this year.
Michele and Ed from Phoenix have been helping me out and handling registration for me. A dozen other volunteers are starting to help organize other event details. It's a lot of work, but worth it! Getting to spend time with so many online friends is amazing! I learn at least as much interacting with other patients as I do from the doctors, nurses and researchers that speak to us.
So this year I've made sure to schedule a lot more "get to know each other" time. Last year I think we tried to cram too much in without leaving enough time for us to visit.
Break out sessions will be the key. You'll have choices. And if you're afraid of missing something, some of the topics will be covered more than once.
But I'm getting ahead of myself. People need a place to stay! Although it isn't as commercial or busy as a place like Daytona Beach, Fernandina is still an ocean side community. Lodging here is expensive, especially this time of year. The weather should be perfect. There will be some spring breakers, but just enough to add to the fun.
With rooms starting at $129 a night, staying on Amelia Island may not be affordable for some. So we're providing a list of less expensive options that are 30 minutes or so away. First, here are the Fernandina Beach lodging options:
2016 Pat's Myeloma Beach Room Rates
I can personally recommend these four properties:
Amelia Seaside Inn
6 blocks from event
Block of 41 rooms
10 @ $145
5 pool view @ $158
6 pool view suites @ $179
10 ocean view suites @ $199
10 ocean view with balcony @ $208
Amelia Hotel at the Beach
Across the street from ocean and Sliders Bar and Grill; last year's venue.
3 miles from event.
30 rooms @ $129
Residence Inn Marriott
Atlantic Ave 5 blocks from the beach – 3 miles from event
20 rooms @ $149
To book online: Click HERE
Comfort Suites
Across the street from the beach – 5 blocks to event
No block of rooms. First come, first serve
$160 ($144 AAA or AARP)
There are several nice chain hotels just off Interstate 95 at the Amelia Island exit. They're 20 minutes away. Unfortunately, their rates in April aren't a lot less than those on the Island. You might save $20 a night. Michele did find a Best Western there for $89 a night. Expect that and other rates to rise as we get closer to April.
Here is a list less expensive places to stay a 30 minute or farther drive away; south by the Jacksonville airport and north just across the border in Georgia:

Yulee, Florida should ring a bell for college football fans; this year's Heisman Trophy winner, Alabama running back, Derrick Henry, played his high school football in Yulee. It's the town just west of Amelia Island.
I understand as well as anyone how difficult it can be to travel when you're not feeling well. But this annual gathering is an opportunity to meet and exchange ideas with lots of fellow patients and myeloma experts. And enjoying 13 miles of beach in 80 degree temps doesn't hurt, either!
You can register by going to My Cancer Store.org:
Hope to see you in April!
Feel good and keep smiling! Pat

Christine Herron, blogging from O'Reilly's ETech this week, posted about SF writer Bruce Sterling's talk. I wish I'd been there. It sounds very intriguing. Sterling talked about a world where every physical object is tagged and has data associated with it as well. Sterling has coined a new term — spime — for objects trackable in space and time. People too? Reminds me of the original intent of the original intent of the Web Services Directory.
What's a spime?
{ 2 comments… add one }
March 8, 2006, 7:47 am
Ironically, this idea (Spime), in addition to what Iotum appears to be working on (based on what your DEMO reviews said) were all part of a project I worked on back in the early 90's at Mitel. The Mitel "CATA" architecture was designed to "connect anything to anything" and had intelligent "Agents" working to help prioritize what information/calls/emails/IM's people received based on context. It appears we were just too ahead of our time, a common problem in IT Heck, XML wasn't even around when we were doing this, so we had to invent our own "markup language" that was extentible… 😉
Anyways, the point was that *everything* had what was basically an IP address and could become part of a global common network. So it was kind of a "convergence v5.0" where you could very easily configure any light switch to any light-socket in the world, any mobile device control to any device, etc. Very cool stuff, I'm glad wireless, security and the breadth of networks have finally caught up to enable some of these ideas.

I think the fact that this stuff is happening now, Don, is totally a product of the evolution of networks. Couldn't have done this even five years ago, but the tools are here and now to make this work.

Researchers from Johns Hopkins and Arizona State universities have found that pumping iron burns calories for up to two hours after a workout, while jogging and aerobics classes work for less than half an hour.
Exercises that get your heart pumping and chest heaving burn more calories during the workout, but increase your metabolismwhich helps you fight fatfor a shorter time.
Carol Binzen, lead author of the report, said, "Women who want to lose weight typically do aerobic exercise to raise their heart rate, thinking that's how they can burn the most calories. To get the maximum benefit, women need a combination of cardiovascular workouts and resistance training."
Researchers studied 12 women who regularly did weight-lifting exercises. On one day they were asked to exercise on resistance equipment and on another to watch a film. The results, published in the latest issue of Medicine, Science Sports and Exercise, showed that weight trainers burned up to 155 calories during exercise, compared with just 50 calories while relaxing.
Ms Binzen said, "It might not seem like the exercise burned many more calories, but up to two hours after their workout the women continued to have elevated metabolism." She added that resistance equipment was especially important for women over 25, who lost up to half a pound of muscle mass every year.
The National Osteoporosis Society said it was vital for women to carry out some load-bearing exercise to maintain bone strength and cut their risk of osteoporosis.

Only two weeks ago I warned that things will get ugly and that the stock markets could be getting ready for a nasty sell-off this month – or as I put it "going to hell in a handbasket".
Well back then it was just a probability. Now it's official…
Yesterday the S&P 500 (ES), a leading US Stock index, closed below its 200 moving average. See chart below:
Why is this important?
The 200 moving average (shown in green) is used by a lot of funds to determine whether we are in a bull or bear market (i.e. a buyers or sellers market).
When the markets break that 200 moving average (MA) this triggers a lot of sell programs and often is the first sign of further selling pressure to come.
I must say that I was surprised by this move yesterday. Usually when markets reach the 200 MA they tend to at least bounce from there like Gold did last week (see below).
The FTSE UK 100 also reached its 200 MA yesterday but has not broken it yet.
So for now, my plan is to focus on shorting stocks, and any rallies this week back to 1390 or 1400 are "short" opportunities.
The next probable levels of support on the S&Ps (ES) are 1300 which is a psychological support and 1255 (which is a confluence of the October 2011 highs and the June 2012 lows).
Now let's look at gold. The interesting thing about gold is that it has decoupled from the stock market (see chart):
Usually gold and stock market indexes are closely correlated. But this correlation has broken recently.
Gold is looking pretty strong and holding its own. You can see how it rallied from that 200 MA support. Any break above the 1740 level (shown by dashed red line and arrow) is an opportunity to load up.
Natural gas also had a nice pop higher this week and I am looking to see whether we can see this test its previous highs. Those of you who followed my plan to buy it at $3.6 should now be in profit.
Hope it helps. Good trading!

KELOWNA - If you've ever received a vaguely worded notice about a public hearing of some kind that may affect you, only to see the address concerned is blocks away from your home, then you're not alone.
Even some Kelowna councillors think the informational notices sent out to the entire postal code where a property is located were a waste of paper.
"That's the unintended consequences of having differing forms. Residents don't understand why they get one form and someone else gets a different form," Coun. Gail Given said.
Under B.C.'s community charter, municipal governments must ensure statutory notice is given to any property owner affected by a development application.
Currently public notification is handled by delivering statutory notices to adjoining and adjacent properties, deputy city clerk Karen Needham told council.
A second informational notice is sent to all addresses in the same postal code but that produces situations where someone several blocks away will get a notice but the neighbour around the corner might not.
That confusion is why councillors didn't hesitate to eliminate the informational notice from the process and move to a new way to determine notice eligibility.
While the community charter requires public notification, it's up to individual councils to determine the size of the delivery area, Needham said.
Council opted to create a new statutory notice — one that Given pleaded be made more user friendly — and deliver it to all properties within 50 metres of the edges of a subject property.
There must also be a minimum of four notices, better to catch large rural properties that might not have many close neighbours.

Moreover, the keyboard now has support for 11 languages:
- Bulgarian
- Croatian
- Greek
- Hinglish
- Icelandic
- Indonesian
- Latvian
- Russian
- Serbian
- Slovak
- Turkish
The update also includes several other features like the function to use SwiftKey Flow on the iPad, the function of having keyboard click sounds while typing, and a number of bug fixes to enhance the overall user experience.
If you use the SwiftKey keyboard for iOS 8 already, then you will be able to get this update from the Updates tab in the App Store app. Otherwise, you can get the newest version for free from this link.

I am not sure I got your case correctly, more precisely, I am not sure what is your RadDiagram setup and how do you print the shapes. Could you please take a look at the sample project and modify it in order to simulate the issue you are experiencing? This would be the best and fastest way to assist you.
Also, I have modified the type of this thread to general feedback so you could be able to attach files.
I am looking forward to hearing from you.

I'm trying to install XP Home on a machine I was working in for my brother. I load the Windows CD, go through the initial file load, reformat hard drive, load windows folders, then the system prompts that its going to reboot - so it does. Now here is where the problem comes in. When the system reboots, it doesn't give me an option to boot from CD or not, like what I am used to. It just goes right back to the same window asking me if I want to reformat... I tried messing with the boot order, but no dice. What's going on and how do I get this damn OS installed?? Thanks!

Hunters aren't the only ones getting ready for this deer gun season, which begins Monday.
A support staff of taxidermists, mounters and processors also look forward to the week long season. For Phillips Meat Processing Preparation began months ago. Now, it's down to last minute details like putting a trailer in for deer check-in. If you're looking to process your deer, Phillips has a suggestion.
"Patience. When everyone comes in its between four and seven o'clock," said Dale Phillips owner of Phillips Meat Processing. "It's just a flow that goes around the building. It actually moves pretty well but patience is a virtue I guess."
Phillps expects to see between 400-700 hunters this week, depending on the weather. It takes about two days to process the deer. Though it's a busy week they're really looking forward to seeing some familiar faces.
"Many many repeat customers," said Phillips. "It's kind of fun actually. We look forward to it every year. It's a lot of work but you see people once a year and I look forward to that."
And for those that like hunting but don't need the meat, Phillips does process deer for Hunters and Farmer's Feeding the Hungry.
Last year, Muskingum County led the state in deer donations with 10,000 pounds of deer sent to pantries. One deer can feed 200 people.
Phillips is also holding different contests everyday like the oldest hunter, youngest hunter and the smallest and largest deer.

Yet.. as I recall, this is...
MPGH - MultiPlayer Game Hacking
You're proving nothing to your first related post. You can't call someone a 9 year old just because he does what over 60% of this community does.
Also, I didn't join for hacks, I was interested in so much more, yet I hardly get enough time for it. I could do more, but i'm part of another community I love better, not about Combat arms. Yea, i base my time over that community more than this. What are you going to say? "GTFO go back to your other community" Or.. are you going to call me a "choob" over the internet?
Reclaim.. Dave makes some hacks too, does that mean he's a 9 year old..?
To your perspective, it's what you think.
So.. I have to play CA because I signed up for MPGH?
Obvious is Obvious, go back to creating RSPS.
"Let me see, average posts per day... 0.14
What does that tell me? Hmmm...That you joined MPGH to download hacks and didn't give a shit about the community."
Since when did post counts matter about how much knowledge one has? I'm learning new things here, yo!
i used to just be hear just for hacks then i started sharing and relized mpgh is about so much more its like (cue insperational music) its more then hacks it a place i acn go when ur in a bad mood and looking for a chear up when ur having a great day adn wanna share it with the world when u cant find a friend u just log on its more then hacks its the best place on earth(stop the music) that sounded gay

Here's a particularly eloquently written blog post on a subject that's been debated here frequently in the past: the role that critiques of grammar, spelling, punctuation, etc. should (or shouldn't) play in intellectual discussion:
Literacy Privilege: How I Learned to Check Mine Instead of Making Fun of People's Grammar on the Internet « Painting the Grey Area
This author's position is essentially that strict adherence to 'standard' rules of grammar and syntax, and insistence on the use of those rules during the course of a debate, is just another tool for marginalizing the least privileged members of our society. Only she says it much better than I could. Here are a couple of quotes I found particularly compelling:
Judgements about what counts as "right", "good" and "correct" in writing and grammar always – ALWAYS – align with characteristics of the dialects spoken by privileged, mostly wealthy, mostly white people. We make these judgements based on learned biases, as well as a certain emotional attachment to our own way of doing things. But when people study dialects in an objective, scientific way (which is what cunning linguists actually do), they find that low-prestige dialects, such as African-American Vernacular English or Cockney English, have fully-formed grammar rules of their own that make just as much sense as any others. They are perfectly valid and functional forms of communication used by millions of people. The only difference is that they don't have people running around telling everyone else to do it their way.
Do I sound angry? That's because I am. I'm angry that linguistic elitism is so deeply embedded in our social discourse with so little critical analysis. I'm angry that it took me four years of being slapped in the face with the daily realities of poor literacy skills before I finally relinquished my own prescriptive bayonet.
As a member of a marginalized group myself, I am hyperconscious of other, more well-recognized types of privilege – male privilege, white privilege, straight privilege, able-bodied privilege.
What do you all think? I realize that several of our formerly most vocal members on this particular subject are gone now, but I'm still curious to hear your opinions.
Thank you to the SSMC makers for my beautiful siggies!

Beautifully written and engagingly presented, SEARCHING FOR PARADISE is a road trip worth taking
by T.L. Hughes
Verdict: Beautifully written and engagingly presented, SEARCHING FOR PARADISE is a road trip worth taking.
When life becomes too routine, dreams aren't coming true, and restlessness sets in, the only choice for three friends is to get in the car and make their way back to their familial roots.
In the early 1980s, Mike Hogan escaped the life he knew growing up in a blue-collar Catholic household in Massachusetts and made a dash for the golden coast of Southern California. The friends he made while pursuing his dream of a career in the video music industry all seemed to have made similar moves, especially Lucas and Declan. But, a few years later, when Mike's dreams start to fade, including a relationship with the quintessential California beauty, Collette, he and his buddies quit their 8-to-5 jobs and take to the open highway in Lucas' '64 Ford Fairlane, blaring pop tunes from the radio—songs that define the friends' lives and that inspire them to move on to a more bohemian existence á la Jack Kerouac's On the Road. In his largely autobiographical first novel, SEARCHING FOR PARADISE, author T.L. Hughes takes readers on a road trip that starts in Los Angeles and winds up on the East Coast. Along the way, Mike, Lucas, and Declan reunite with old friends and family members, eating their food, crashing on their couches, and coming to terms with the relationships they've had and the places they've lived as the soundtrack of their lives—and what makes them who they are.
Hughes' writes as one looking out the window of a car making its way across the changing landscape of the United States. His highly visual descriptions of the cities, towns, and open country the three young men encounter keeps the pace of the novel steady without rushing the reader. The side trips give the narrator, Mike, the opportunity to explain his background, hopes, dreams, and (current) understanding of life's realities. As the open road takes its turns and twists, much like life itself, the author takes the reader on a journey, one that he writes like a life in rewind mode—introspective and hopeful for a new beginning.
Beautifully written and engagingly presented, SEARCHING FOR PARADISE is a road trip where the characters drive back to their roots in search of where they came from, but seek to transcend their past lives in search of something more exciting, more attainable, yet more liberating.
~Kathleen Samuelson for IndieReader.

* Brazil power-dam levels at lowest for Feb since 2001
* Petrobras may extend 20-day gas contract, YPFB says
* Contract to increase Bolivia imports by up to 9.3 pct
LA PAZ, Feb 12 (Reuters) - Brazilian state-run oil company Petroleo Brasileiro SA will increase imports of natural gas from Bolivia to generate electricity as water levels at Brazil's hydrodams fall to record lows, Bolivia's state-oil company said on Wednesday.
Yacimentos Petroliferas Fiscales Bolivianos, or YPFB, agreed to sell an additional 2.24 million cubic meters (79.1 million cubic feet) a day of natural gas to Petrobras, as the Brazilian oil company is known, for 20 days.
The 20-day contract may be extended, YPFB media office said, citing sales director Mauricio Marañón. The amount is between 7.4 percent and 9.3 percent of the 24.1 to 30.1 million cubic meters a day Petrobras has contracted to buy for 20 years using the 3,150-km (1,960-mile) Bolivia-Brazil Pipeline. The main accord expires in 2018.
The additional gas is being purchased as water levels in Brazil's southeast and central-west regions are at 36.7 percent, their lowest February level since 2001, when Brazil faced power rationing. The regions contain Brazil's most populous cities, principal manufacturing industries and the bulk of its farms.
The low water levels, combined with power line problems that caused a blackout over much of Brazil last week, has led Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff to declare that everything will be done to make sure electricity supplies are not interrupted.
The gas will supply Petrobras' 529.2 megawatt Governor Mario Covas thermal power plant in Cuiaba, Brazil on the Bolivian border, YPFB said.
Petrobras officials were not immediately available for comment. The plant can generate enough electricity for a Brazilian city of 1.13 million people.
Bolivia, for its part, has been looking for ways to export more natural gas to Brazil because plans to increase exports to Argentina by building new pipelines have not moved forward. A 131-year-old border dispute with Chile has made Bolivia unwilling to accept Chile's offer to buy its gas.
Brazil gets about 68 percent of its electricity from hydropower and uses thermal power, primarily natural gas, biomass and diesel oil, to make up most of the rest. Thermal power also supplements hydrodams in dry seasons or times of drought.
Brazilian natural gas demand rose 17.8 per cent in 2013 to 67.2 million cubic meters per day, according to the Abegas, Brazil's natural gas distributors association. Imports jumped to 47 million cubic meters per day.
In 2013, Brazil received about 60 percent of its natural gas imports from Bolivia, but paid less than half for Bolivian gas by pipeline than it did for imports of liquefied natural gas (LNG).
