Malaysia's Maybank looks to Thailand
Currently, Maybank is ranked the fourth-largest in Southeast Asia after DBS Bank, United Overseas Bank and OCBC Bank in terms of total assets. At the end of last year, Maybank's assets stood at US$ 143 billion (Bt4.43 trillion).
"We are waiting for the right option. Over the past three years, we have been shown a number of options," he said, noting that those options had not suited Maybank.
The bank is waiting for approval of its application to open a branch in Laos and already has a representative office in Myanmar. Its focus at present is to strengthen its subsidiary Maybank Kim Eng Securities (Thailand) and post-merger integration is underway.
"We focus not only on revenue synergy, but also cost synergy," said Zafrul Aziz, CEO of Maybank Kim Eng's investment banking group. This year, Maybank Kim Eng (Thailand) is hoping to boost its revenue by more than 10 per cent from 2011 after gaining support from its parent Maybank's network in 17 countries.
"We aim to earn higher profits and revenue this year," Maybank KE Thailand CEO Montree Sornpaisarn said.
The brokerage house expects to be prepared for the Asean Economic Community before it kicks off in 2015, said Boonporn Boriboonsongsilp, CEO of retail business development for Maybank KE Thailand.
"The AEC will accelerate trade and investment in the region, giving investors more choices in Asean countries. Brokerage houses will compete more. We are experienced in the country and will employ strategies in quality execution, technology and research services to compete," she said.

Haven't really tried to draw anything since break started. I, uh… accidentally remembered video games…. lol.
I promised myself to do something productive once I finish MassEffect2, though, because that's pretty much all I've been doing these past few days, besides going out with friends, OH SOCIAL LIFE, YOU SILLY YOU.
For the meantime, here's a random scribbly lady. I tend to do these when my hand vomits all over my tablet.

No I would never use it in PvE, if it has a cast time, it takes away from MW procs which are more important IMO. Those two seconds of nothing are several white hits that give more MW procs. So just like Lava Burst it will never be used by Enh. OTOH, it is very definitely a PvP nerf, and I think it sucks. We are losing a good AOE stun in PvP because Blizzard couldn't figure out how they broke Elemetntal in the first place, so they went with this lame "fix". You still have to get into melee range for it to be of any use.
Why the hell didn't they just do this for magma totem??? Then everyone would have been happy.

Share Your Smarts: Products & Practices for Vintage Leather Sofa?
For whatever odd reason, the Craigslist gods threw me a bone on Monday: my dream sofa was listed. Everyone who knows me knows I love leather sofas. And the Borge Mogensen 3-seater IS my dream of all dreams. And it was listed on Monday. And for a crazy reasonable price. And guess what, I got it!
My Borge (aka my baby) is in great vintage condition. It's super comfortable, the mahogany legs have no nicks or scratches, and the leather is a lovely chocolate color. It couldn't be more perfect for my new place.
However, I want to give the leather a little love. For a midcentury sofa, the leather is in phenomenal condition with no rips or tears, but it's slightly dry. So AT readers with leather chairs and sofas, what products do you use to give your furniture the TLC it deserves? I want my new baby to look like a million bucks and need your recommendations!

Lexol products will make your leather sofa look amazing!
Don't know if you have it in USA but old fashioned saddle soap from equestrian shops is great on old leather. Made my very damaged, scratched and dry footstool /box new with a wash and good elbow grease polish. Have also used it on boots, shoes, belts etc Way cheaper than most other "specialist" products.
whatever you decide to use. Test it out on a small hidden area of you leather.
Sometimes it is impossible to undo some treatments to old leather.
Meguiars's Gold Class Rich Leather Cleaner/Conditioner rejuvenated a couple of old leather pieces here at Chateau Glinda. Did a good job of making some cat-scratch damage less noticeable, too. Get tipped to it by a YouTube video on repairing cat-damaged leather.
I use fragrance free hand lotion (i.e. Aveeno or shea butter lotion) on all my leather goods and it always does the trick. Gently massage a dab into the leather with a clean cotton cloth and, voila it looks just like new. (Just make sure to use fragrance free!)
If you have an Hermes where you live you can purchase their line of very fine leather care products. Many woman even use their pure glycerin soap on their body (never on face as French woman never use soap on the face) instead of just on the horse saddle and bags. When you think about it our skin and leather are really the same thing just ours is still alive.
As an equestrian and a owner of fine leather furniture for my home, too... I second the Lexol products. They can soften, hydrate and clean. Leather Therapy is another good line of products, as well as Antares Leather Conditioner (not the oil). I would avoid saddle soaps and oils unless you don't mind darkening your chocolate baby.
I just checked and you can purchase Hermes pure glycerine soap and leather milk on their website. You don't need to travel to an Hermes in person. If your sofa is an authentic Borge Mogensen sofa and not reproduction it is worth the very best care that you can give it. If it is a poor quality reproduction a cheap leather care like lexol will do.
Leather CPR cleans and conditions - it's the best all around product I've used in nearly 30 years of caring for my horse riding tack and boots. Vogul Conditioner is great as is Lederbalsm - be careful with pure conditioners, however - don't sit down until the conditioner is fully absorbed into the leather or you will get it all over your clothes.
hmmm I would personally have a professional clean/restore it. There are all; kinds of leather finishes and what works for one may not work for another. if it is truly your dream sofa I would not dream of d-i-y the restoring.............
Personally I would start with a good vinegar-water all-over rub (wring out the cloth as much as you can). That'll clean and kill germs before the polish... I've never tried saddle soap but it seems like a good rec. I would also second the suggestion to try a small corner before, but please wait 24 hours to see if there's any reaction...
Leather Honey.
Please ignore everyone else's advice and use Obenauf's Heavy Duty LP. It's natural, and it protects the leather while still allowing it to breathe. I just used it on a leather chair, and it looks great.
I need to know, what did you pay for it?

Will Starbucks Continue to Heat Up?
Lior is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
The ongoing rally of shares of Starbucks (NASDAQ: SBUX) hasn't slowed down, and its latest earnings report kept investors happy. Will this company's stock keep rising? Is the company facing perils that could curb its growth?
Revenue keeps growing
In the third quarter of fiscal 2013, revenue of Starbucks rose more than 13% (year-over-year). In comparison, other leading brands, such as Dunkin' Brands Group (NASDAQ: DNKN), haven't shown such a sharp rise in revenue. Dunkin' Brands' net sales increased only 5.9%. For Starbucks, most of the growth in revenue was in China/Pacific region. The company's net revenue jumped 29% during the quarter. This region's revenue accounts for only 6% of Starbucks' total revenue.
But, at the current pace, the China/Pacific region should account for roughly 10% of its revenue by the end of the year. Nonetheless, the latest developments in China might lead to an economic slowdown in this country, which may curb down the high growth rate of Starbucks in China. Furthermore, the high volatility in the currencies markets could also slash some of its revenue.
Most of the growth of Dunkin' Brands' revenue was related to its Baskin-Robbins International segment that grew 16% (year-over-year). But this jump in revenue was partly attributed to the company's change in its Bertico litigation reserve from last year, and the income from selling 80% of its Baskin-Robbins Australia business. Therefore, the company's revenue, after excluding these one time events, didn't increase much.
Profit margins
Even though Starbucks augmented its revenue, the company's profit margin expanded. Its profitability rose to 16.4% in the third quarter of fiscal year 2013. Most of the growth in profit margin was due to the rise in its profitability in China/Asia Pacific and Americas segments. The EMEA segment continues to have very low profit margin of only 3.2%. The sharp rise in Starbucks' China/Asia Pacific segment is likely to further augment its profit margin. On the other hand, the slow growth in the EMEA segment might benefit the company as it will lower its exposure to these regions that have very low profitability.
Starbucks wasn't the only company in this industry that experienced a rise in profitability: Dunkin' Brands also pulled up its profit margin to 42.1% -- an increase of more than 15.3 percentage points. But this jump in profitability is a bit misleading, and is mostly related to the company's recognized profits from selling its Baskin-Robbins Australia business. The company's gross profitability remained nearly unchanged at around 80%. This suggests Dunkin' Brands profitability hasn't increased due to its core operations.
Starbucks keeps expanding its brand
The company doesn't only expand its reach to other countries such as China, it also expanding its brand with its collaborations with other leading companies such as Teavana Holdings. Starbucks purchased Teavana at the end of 2012, which makes Teavana a full subsidiary of Starbucks. It paid $620 million for the company. This acquisition helped Starbucks expand its brand beyond coffee and target the tea market as well. Starbucks' CFO, in an interview, also expressed his confidence in incorporating the Teavana brand into Starbucks.
The company also expanded its agreement with Green Mountain Coffee Roasters (NASDAQ: GMCR) vis-à-vis the manufacturing, marketing, distribution, and sale of Starbucks and K-Cups worldwide. This partnership, which started back in March 2011, has benefited both companies in expanding each other's brand and revenues. Starbucks has successfully sold more than 850 million Starbucks coffee K-Cup packs in two years. This partnership has helped pull up Green Mountain's stock that has soared by approximately 84% (year-to-date).
The company's revenue also rose 13.5% in the first quarter of 2013 (year-over-year) and its profitability increased by 4.2 percentage points to 21.1%. So, both companies have benefited from this partnership. By expanding this deal, both companies are likely to augment not only their revenue, but also their profit margins.
Coffee prices
One of Starbucks' main inputs is (no surprise) coffee. Even though the company hedges against the fluctuations of coffee prices in the near future, the changes in the price of coffee could affect the company's profit margin in next year before the company secures its next coffee future contracts. Looking forward, Goldman Sachs analysts suspect the price of Arabia coffee will reach within 12 months $1.30 a pound, which is not far from the current price of Arabia coffee. The expected high production compared to the demand is likely to curb coffee prices from rising. If this projection comes to fruition, it could slightly expand Starbucks' profit margin, or at least it won't diminish it.
I think that Starbucks is on the right track by expanding its brand with acquisitions, partnerships, and by reaching new markets in other countries such as China. The current low coffee prices and the high profitability in China branches could also further widen Starbucks' profitability in the near future. But, the potential economic slowdown in China could curb the growth rate of Starbucks.

Mountain Kingdoms of Kyrgyzstan
Get right off the beaten track on this challenging tour into Central Asia's mountainous hinterland. Beginning in Bishkek, we travel through Chong Kemin and the imposing Kyrgyzstan mountains.
Get right off the beaten track on this challenging tour into Central Asia's mountainous hinterland. Beginning in Bishkek, we travel through Chong Kemin and the imposing Kyrgyzstan mountains.
The faceted facade evokes an archetypal Central Asian teahouse with carved wooden columns, tea beds and octagonal lattice-work pavilions. The main restaurant interior has far less character, but produces a fine selection of well priced local, Kazakh and southern Kyrgyz dishes.
Offers cultural programmes at the higher end of the travel spectrum. Can arrange visa support, Bishkek homestays, horse trekking, cultural shows and can even put you in touch with a Kyrgyz costume designer. It is also a reliable international ticket agency. Credit cards accepted.
To (or via) Almaty and Astana. Good-value connections include Tbilisi, Bangkok and various Siberian cities but triple check that your routing doesn't include an internal Astana-Almaty leg unless you have a Kazakhstan visa. Free Bishkek-Cholpan Ata transfers available in summer.
Airy if bare, this pine-and-glass beer hall has large indoor spaces with low couches plus ample outdoor bench tables. Fine pub food includes excellent 'snow chicken' (fried with onions, mushrooms and cheese) and McDonalds-style fries. Big tvs screen pop-vids or sports matches.
The conspicuously older structure northeast of Ala-Too Sq at Pushkin 68 was the headquarters of the Central Committee of the Kyrgyz ASSR, declared in 1926. It's now home to the Dom Druzhby community centre for advocacy and self-help groups, as well as a drab zoology museum.
An unmarked marble palace full of chandeliered offices just west of the square, the 'White House', is the seat of the Kyrgyzstan government, including the president's office and the republic's parliament. Behind this is Panfilov Park, full of rusting rides and arcades.
Get right off the beaten track on this challenging trip into Central Asia's mountainous hinterland. Beginning in Uzbekistan's capital Tashkent, we travel through the fertile plains of the Fergana Valley before heading for the high country of remote Kyrgyzstan and the dramatically rugged Tian Shan.
Friendly pub-cafe with excellent, inexpensive Svejak beer on tap and a well-considered menu (mains 100som to 350som), including full English breakfasts and a couple of vegetarian choices. The British owner has many a tale to tell. Handy for hotels Grand and Rich.
Bishkek's second bus station handles mostly regional departures to Tokmak, Kant etc. It is also the starting point for the weekly bus to Kashgar, China, but as the latter goes via the Torugart Pass, it can currently only be used by Kyrgyz and Chinese citizens.
Having once dominated Ala-Too Square, Vlad turned his back on the mountains in 2003 and now lurks behind the History Museum. Young skaters and break-dancers practice their daring vaults oblivious to the desperate gesticulations of his pointing arm.
Shoehorned into the column-filled foyer of a once-grand Soviet era theatre, this off-beat boozer might feel like post–Vietnam War Bangkok were it not that the clientele (predominantly single, male, Western) are actually glued to the sports blaring on TV.
This new, all-wooden restaurant masquerading as a 19th-century log-cabin cottage serves up typical Ukrainian fare. There's ample shady garden seating behind and you don't have to dine to sit at the bar, which is built around a living tree.
Most cars cost US$80 to US$100 per day but there are a couple at US$40 as well as a minibus at US$100. Ten litres of petrol included. Some English spoken. Drivers must be 21, with two years' driving experience. No mileage limit.
A stylish spot where embassy workers shell out around Som100 for a gin and tonic or around Som60 for a cappuccino. The good live music makes it a classy place for a date. It also serves great appetisers and vegetarian meals.
Commemorating the 40th anniversary of the end of WWII, this monument is designed to evoke three symbolic yurt struts curving above an eternal flame. It sits within the dauntingly over-sized sun-bleached expanse of 'Freedom Sq'.

Found January 19, 2013 on NBA 24/7 365:
PLAYERS: Kevin Durant, Mike James, Shawn Marion, Dirk Nowitzki, Darren Collison, Kendrick Perkins, Rick Carlisle, Gilbert Arenas
TEAMS: Oklahoma City Thunder, Dallas Mavericks, Memphis Grizzlies
TEAMS: Oklahoma City Thunder, Dallas Mavericks, Memphis Grizzlies
Let it be known that in the [I tried to count all the games three times and came up with three different numbers between 500 and 700] game of the 2012/13 NBA season, Kevin Durant became the first to achieve 50 points. Durant dropped a career-high 52, actually; 21 of which came at the free throw line (on the same number of attempts). Shawn Marion, who gave up 17 of the 52, thought this number of free throws was decidedly too many: "It's hard to beat anybody when you're playing five-on-eight." Regardless of whether or not there's any validity to his point, it should be noted that there is no record of Marion taking objection to the 24 free throws attempted by Dirk Nowitzki against the Thunder on May 17th, 2011. Getting back to the game at hand, Durant made just 13 of 31 shots from the floor. He missed nine in a row in the fourth quarter as the Mavericks came back from down eight* (JUICE), including a great look at a 22-footer that would've won the game at the buzzer. Despite his struggles, Durant continued to shoot the ball, and he shot it well in overtime. Beginning at the two-minute mark, KD produced three consecutive buckets. The third — an insanely difficult one-footed, one-handed runner over the outstretched arm of Shawn Marion — gave Oklahoma City a 116-114 lead which they'd never relinquish. His complete highlights can be seen right here… What is not shown in the above video nor any highlight video that I can find is one of the all-time great ******* it!" shots by Mike James. James, who played the entire overtime in place of Darren Collison despite Collison's 15 points on 5-8, broke off the designed play on the Mavericks possession that followed Durant's aforementioned floater. With the Mavs down two and about 15 seconds to go, James was switched onto by Kendrick Perkins. Apparently looking to exploit the mismatch, he audibled out of whatever Rick Carlisle had designed and isolated Perkins beyond the top of the key. James did not proceed to drive on the slow-footed defender, however. Instead, he did this: Gilbert Arenas: Screaming "YOLO!" since before YOLO had a meaning (one of many reasons we thought he was nuts). Obviously, there are a couple of minor differences between the shot in the video and the actual shot by James: James' shot didn't go in. James isn't prime Gilbert Arenas. Dirk Nowitzki did not play for the 2007 Wizards. The Mavericks were losing, not tied. Other than that they were pretty much exactly the same… which is absolutely hilarious considering that James was in the D-League like a week ago. From the Texas Legends to nationally-televised Gilbert Arenas impersonations… Mike James, I salute you. *According to Mavericks commentator Mark Followill, Dallas has led in the fourth quarter of all 10 of their games in January, yet they are just 5-5. Depressing.

May 17, 2013, 7:57 PM — Apps, Google's flagship product for enterprise IT, had a minor presence at this week's I/O developer conference, but some announcements at the show and in prior weeks deserve attention from customers of the cloud email and collaboration suite.
Specifically, a string of news about Gmail, Google Plus and Hangouts this month points to an ongoing effort at the company to boost these applications for consumers and, in many cases, also for organizations that use Apps.
"While I/O did not provide any one key announcement [about] Google's enterprise collaboration platform, they have been making several small enhancements over the last few weeks, including remote desktop control for Hangouts, integrated storage between Drive and Gmail, and most notably a revamped look for their social networking platform, Google Plus," Constellation Research analyst Alan Lepofsky said via email.
"It is clear that Google is putting considerable effort into integrating their various tools to provide a far more unified and consistent experience than they previously offered," he added.
At I/O, Google announced new "quick action" buttons in Gmail that pop up in the inbox next to certain messages, letting users, for example, respond to a party invitation with a "yes," "no" or "maybe." These buttons, which will roll out over the coming weeks, are designed to help users manage their email in faster, more efficient ways. Early in May, Google announced a similar feature, the ability for Gmail users to create Google Calendar entries from within their email messages when Gmail detects dates and times in the body text. These improvements are available to Apps customers.
Also related to Gmail, and applicable to Apps customers, Google said at I/O that it is unifying the storage repositories for Google Drive and Gmail. For Apps customers, this means having a single storage bucket of 30G bytes per user. Previously, each user got 25G bytes for Gmail and 5G bytes for files uploaded to Drive for storage. Now they'll have flexibility on how to use the 30G bytes.
At I/O, Google also announced new APIs (application programming interfaces) for adding and customizing features for the Apps IT administration console via a new software development kit. That announcement also builds on one made earlier this month about a revamping of the admin console's interface, giving it a cleaner look and improved navigation. Both moves are aimed at giving Apps IT administrators better and more intuitive controls over their domain users and applications.

Braylon Heard's first-half touchdown runs of 73 and 43 yards spurred Kentucky to a season-opening, 59-14 rout of Tennessee-Martin on Saturday. Quarterback Patrick Towles added a TD passing and running in his first career start for Kentucky, which outgained the Skyhawks 656-398. The Wildcats' sophomore threw for 370 yards, but Kentucky's tailbacks set the tone by flying through huge holes and scoring virtually untouched. Especially Heard, the junior transfer whose yardage came on those two carries. The scores propelled Kentucky to a 35-0 halftime lead and the Wildcats never looked back.

When I was younger, I remember my grandma getting after me about my posture. "Stop slouching. Stand up straight. Stop picking your nose." I didn't understand the importance at the time, but as I get older, I can see (and feel) the benefits of having good posture. While you might take the necessary steps to ensure good posture in your waking hours, have you ever considered the role your sleeping position plays in your overall posture? I sure didn't. I mean, I know about the different sleeping positions and the benefits and drawbacks of each, but I never considered how much the way I sleep affects how I look (and feel) while I'm awake. If you have a bad back or you find yourself in pain during much of your waking hours, take some time to asses how you sleep. You might find that your sleeping position is negatively impacting your overall posture.
Here are some tips to consider as you determine the best sleeping position for your body to maintain a healthy posture:
- Try sleeping in a position that helps you maintain the natural curve of your spine. You can do this by placing a pillow under your knees or a lumbar roll under your lower back.
- Make sure your head is properly supported. It should rest in its normal position, so avoid pillows that raise your head up to high. The pillow should stay below the head and neck. Your shoulders should not rest on the pillow. Make sure you use a pillow that's firm enough to support your head while keeping it aligned with your spine.
- Try sleeping on your side with your knees slightly bent. Sleeping with a pillow between your knees will prevent your upper leg from sliding down onto the bed and rotating your lower spine. This slight twist can not only lead to back and hip pain, but it can also make it harder for you to maintain good posture throughout the day.
When you have bad posture, you expose yourself to a number of health risks. We spend about a third of our lives sleeping, so it's vital that we consider our sleep posture and the role it plays in our health. Be sure you take the necessary steps to protect your body by maintaining a healthy posture both day and night.
Sleep Well,
The Snooze Guru

Taking of South Central…Philadelphia, ThePosted December 11th, 2007 by Anonymous
Odunde with Scribe Video Center
Videomaking Consultant - Tina Morton; Humanities Consultant - Jeff Maskovsky, Post Production - Tina Morton
This video is available for purchase as part of a Precious Places Community History Project Vol.1 compilation DVD.
Once "South Philly," the area along South Street is now "Center City." As longtime residents around the 2100 block can attest, gentrification has besieged this close-knit neighborhood that is regionally famous for Odunde, an annual African street festival. South Street is located just blocks from Center City's skyscrapers, and with real estate values rising, longtime residents in this neighborhood increasingly face displacement as the borders of Center City march ever southward.

Zucchini Strand Linguine
As much as I enjoy the process of planning meals, and the anticipation that comes from researching a great recipe, shopping for the ingredients, and on and on….I absolutely LOVE spontaneity in the kitchen!! It always seems like such an accomplishment to dig throughout the cupboards and find the ingredients needed to quickly whip up something on the fly. (Especially when the result is successful!)
So when I was craving carbs this week, and randomly stumbled across this recipe in a Google search after arriving home from work, I was stoked to realize that — thanks to my overflowing garden — I had everything I needed to give it a go! So I put on some fun Italian opera music in the background (harkening back to my undergrad days!), and followed the trustworthy lead of Michael Chiarello. The best part is that I quickly learned that in addition looking classy and creative (love the julienned zuch!), the pasta tasted fantastic. And I should point out that the basil oil undoubtedly makes the recipe. I'd never made it before, but it was well worth the small extra effort. Would definitely recommend this one for entertaining (or sneaking healthy veggies into your kids' pasta!).
Zucchini Strand Linguine
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 3/4 pound whole-wheat dried linguine
- 3/4 pound zucchini
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons minced garlic
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 3 tablespoons coarsely chopped fresh basil leaves
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan
- 1/4 cup basil oil (recipe below)
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add salt. Add the pasta and cook until al dente, about 10 minutes.
While the water comes to a boil and the pasta cooks, cut the zucchini with a fine French-fry cutter on a mandoline. If you do not have one, cut by hand into the longest, finest julienne you can manage. Season with salt and pepper. If your zucchini is very finely cut, it does not need to be cooked. Otherwise, place in a colander, suspend over the pasta pot, cover the pot, and steam the zucchini until still slightly crunchy, about 2 minutes.
Heat 1/4 cup of the olive oil in a small skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add the garlic and saute briefly until light brown. Turn on the exhaust fan and add the red pepper flakes. Quickly mix in the basil and parsley and remove from the heat.
When the pasta is al dente, drain through a colander, reserving about 1/2 cup of the pasta cooking water.
Pour the pasta into a warm serving bowl; add the zucchini, basil oil, the garlic mixture, and 1/2 cup of the cheese. Toss well, adding cooking water as needed to make a smooth sauce. Taste for seasoning and add salt and pepper, as needed. Grate about 2 tablespoons Parmesan over the top and serve at once.
Basil Oil (and other herb flavored oils):
For soft herbs, such as basil, parsley, cilantro or tarragon: Use 4 cups packed leaves to 2 cups pure olive oil.
For woody herbs, such as rosemary, sage, thyme, oregano or lemon verbena: Use 1 cup packed leaves to 2 cups pure olive oil.
In a blender, puree the herbs and oil until completely smooth. Put the mixture in a saucepan and bring it to a simmer over moderate heat. Simmer for 45 seconds, then pour through a fine-mesh strainer into a bowl. Don't press on the mixture, but you can tap the strainer against your hand to get the oil to drip through faster.
(The reason to save the basil oil to toss with the pasta at the end is so the oil will have a fresh, uncooked taste.)

The Nativity Story Movie Review
Many Biblical epics have graced the screen but few have made any effort to match the casting with the geography. The Nativity Story is a notable exception. In a narrative long since detached from the holiday that celebrates it, Israelite Mary (Keisha Castle-Hughes), living under Roman rule in, well, zero B.C., sees a vision in which the angel Gabriel (Alexander Siddig) tells her that she will conceive a child by the Holy Spirit. Cue the scratching of the record.
Mary takes the news a whole lot better than her family, including Joseph (Oscar Isaac) her new husband from an arranged marriage. No sooner does he have a dream that helps him get with the program than their paranoid King Herod (Ciarán Hinds) decrees a census in which all men must return to the place of their birth with their families. So, Joseph and Mary are off to Bethlehem, and for the rest of the story, see the first couple chapters of Luke or, in a pinch, Linus' speech from A Charlie Brown Christmas.
The culture and setting of the film have a feeling of authenticity that, intentionally or not, serves as a bit of counter-programming in a time when many Middle Eastern (or Middle Eastern-looking -- Castle-Hughes is from New Zealand) faces receive ignorant, knee-jerk associations with terrorists. It's not much of a coincidence that the reason given for the Pope missing the premiere of The Nativity Story at the Vatican (the first film to premiere there) involved preparation for a trip to Turkey to mend Christian/Muslim relations.
Unfortunately, social healing may be all the film has to offer. In spite of a plethora of plot the film never really feels like it's going anywhere. Part of the problem is that we never really get to know Mary and Joseph, and on a fundamental level, it's their story. In one scene, Mary and Joseph discuss the impending birth in a very frank and vulnerable way, but that's the only window we get. Given that the director is Thirteen helmer Catherine Hardwicke, that's particularly disappointing. One of the hallmarks of her debut was the raw, complex emotions of the characters. Here the performances, while admirably natural, betray no depth.
Hardwicke, while capturing the rugged beauty of the terrain, doesn't lend a directorial eye to much else. The film lacks a visual stamp, subtracting one more possible point of entry into the story. In the end, that may be the greatest factor working against the film; it lacks a point of view.
Artistically, The Nativity Story may do no more than competently tell its eponymous tale, but if it also serves to encourage audiences to associate a dark complexion and a thick beard with Joseph instead of Bin Laden, that may be an accomplishment of greater proportions.
Where ya going with that donkey, anyway?

Rutgers dominated headlines last week with the controversy over former head coach Mike Rice, so it's no surprise that Saturday Night Live decided to put its own twist on the story.
The show's sketch on Saturday featured host, Melissa McCarthy as the coach in the fictional school, Middle Delaware State. The clip shows her waving a baseball bat at basketball players and forcing them to serve her meals.
The skit provides a touch of comedy in the very serious situation Rutgers is now dealing with.

Emptiness is the ultimate truth �� What you find when you search for their final nature is their unfindability under that sort of analysis.� Does this mean that they don?t exist?� No, it means they don?t exist in that way; it means also that they don?t exist in the kinds of ways that we reflexively think that they do. ��� C. emptiness exists, but is a negative (a lack, an absence) ������������Like the lack of elephant in room ������������Like the absence of married bachelors in Mt. Pleasant. ������������Like the clarity (lack of clouds) in sky: ����������� Things have a clear, open, unobstructed nature: an empty nature ����D. Emptiness is empty ��������When you look for how chair REALLY exists, you find emptiness of chair;�but when you look for emptiness of chair, it too is unfindable under analysis.�� This is a profound point in Buddhism.��It is not that everything else is unreal in relation to one THING which is REAL in and of itself (see Hinduism).��Rather, it is that nothing is real in and of itself; everything exists ONLY in relation to other things. ���� E. The two truths ������But one can still distinguish:��ultimate truth = emptiness ����������������������������������������������� conventional truth = everything else ��������Both truths are right, are ok; neither contradicts the other; ���������Two levels of analysis, in effect; two sense channels, two radio channels ���������� Each and everything thing has or is both of these realities. ����� F.

LUBBOCK, TX (KCBD) - A Lubbock man salvaged what he could Wednesday afternoon. Flames tore through his home near 26th Street and Avenue P just after 3 a.m.
Early reports indicated the homeowner might been inside, but authorities later located him at a home up the street. Noe Garcia tells us he just can't believe it happened. He received a call around 3:30 a.m. from Lubbock Police saying his home was engulfed in flames.
Garcia arrived on scene to see the place he's called home for the past five years destroyed. It took four teams to douse the flames. At one point, part of the roof collapsed. Fortunately, no one was inured.
Investigator Ross Alexander with the Lubbock Fire Marshal's Office tells us it appears the fire was accidental, sparked by an electric blanket. "I believe he left the electric blanket on for his dog," Alexander said.
"My black lab, his name is Black Jack. He was in the house. I keep the backdoor open for him to come in and out, so he was alright. I don't know where he is right now. Somebody has him, but hopefully someone will bring him back to me," Garcia said.
"With the colder weather coming up and with everybody trying to stay warm, watch your heat producing appliances, electric blankets, your heaters, space heaters. Everybody has to stay warm; that's just part of it," Garcia said.
"I just can't believe it happened, but I don't know what to say. I just can't believe it, that's all," Garcia said. He tells us he does have insurance, but he does ask that if anyone has see his black Lab, please give him a call at (806) 470-6976.

By Christian Jennings - bio | email BAINBRIDGE, GA (WALB) - FEMA set up a recovery center in Bainbridge Wednesday...open to Decatur AND Miller county flood victims.
FEMA Representatives sat down with residents in the Chamber 2 building at the Fairgrounds off Vada Road in Decatur County to get them qualified for federal aid.
Other services were there too to help get disaster victims back on their feet.
"Small business administration, legal services, food stamps, mitigation, of course our state is always here. We basically get them to where they need to be after a disaster," says Katherine Burt, FEMA Manager for this disaster.
Representatives say even if you think you don't qualify for assistance, stop by anyway, you may be surprised.
And if you have insurance, be sure to bring that information with you.
The center will be open Monday through Saturday from eight to seven.
They encourage you to speed up the process by calling 1-800-621-FEMA ahead of time to get a FEMA ID number. If you don't, you'll have to do it when you get there.

Welcome to Night Vale has a very…specific charm, and while audiobooks are the perfect format, there's plenty of prose that will whet fans appetites too.
Standard authors and titles to check out for both humor and a strong sense of the macabre would be Neil Gaiman (The Graveyard Book and Coraline, of course, but also classics like the short story collection *Smoke and Mirrors) and Terry Pratchett (his latest Dodger is a delight, although not creepy like Night Vale). The new audio production of the novel Neverwhere, boasts the voices of talents including James McAvoy, Natalie Dormer, Benedict Cumberbatch, and Christopher Lee, will be available in the US in September. Together, of course, they wrote the excellent *Good Omens, which is also a hilarious audiobook.
Another possibility that's more horror, with the modern-but-vintage sensibility of Night Vale, is *The Bone Key by Sarah Monette. Monette excels at creating an atmosphere of creeping horror that's all about the tension, not the gore, and her hero of these stories is the socially awkward, smart museum archivist Kyle Murchison Booth. The setting is almost a character in and of itself, and highlights the gothic personal histories that are just below the surface of any old city. Even more fun, you can listen to the author herself reading a recent Booth story "The Yellow Dressing Gown" over here, or listen to the short story "White Charles" read by Kate Baker over here.
On the more traditional humor side of things there's always Douglas "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" Adams, the amusing grammar guide The Transitive Vampire by Karen Elizabeth Gordon, and Edward Gorey's wicked gems included in his Amphigorey collections and stand alone titles like The Haunted Tea-Cozy. The graphic novel series Courtney Crumrin by Ted Naifeh has both a snide sense of humor and a wicked edge that keeps them feeling dangerous.
On the younger side, but with that same surreal style, is What We Found in the Sofa and How it Saved the World by Henry Clark — featuring a sentient sofa, evil flash mobs, and a town where all of that is totally normal.
Kelly Link writes short stories with a similar blend of the ordinary and unnerving in Magic for Beginners — check out "The Faery Handbag" for a taste over here and be sure try out "The Hortlak" in the print edition.
Joe Hill also has a great sequence of horror short stories, *20th Century Ghosts, and his novels *Heart-Shaped Box and *Horns are strong works of intelligent horror. (Horns is also being made into a film starring Daniel Radcliffe.) He also pens the stand-out horror graphic novel series *Locke & Key.
Another graphic novels series (and TV show, in fact) that features the same deadpan sense of humor about startling supernatural occurrences is The Middleman by Javier Grillo-Marxuach (comics here and TV series here.) I love the humor in this one plus a great heroine in Wendy, who reminds me a bit of intern Dana.
On the excellent but creepy audiobook side of things — Libba Bray's The Diviners, read by January Lavoy, is outstanding as an audiobook, and has a really great mix of humor, history (it's set in 1920s New York City), and very disturbing horror. With a lighter tone (although also delving in to the darker side of people occasionally), Jaclyn Moriarty's The Ghosts of Ashbury High is both a spoof of all Gothic literature as well as a portrait of a number of high school students entranced by two mysterious new students at their private school. The audiobook is beautifully done, with a full cast for all of the different characters, and the town's history and literary drama blend well with the modern day relationships.
I'm known to be a bit of a fangirl for Daniel Kraus's grave-robbing thriller Rotters, especially on audio read by the versatile Kirby Heyborne, but it's far more creepy than amusing, and so it may not work as well if the humor and hint of romance is what keeps you in Night Vale.
*Keep in mind that the starred titles are published for adults, so they have varying levels of adult content.

I know I've fangirled about The Diviners before, but I will never stop fangirling over The Diviners. Seriously, if...

Jerious Norwood
Tue Aug 2, 2011 12:37 pm Free agent Jerious Norwood is visiting the Rams on Tuesday.
Fantasy Source Spin: There were rumors on local St. Louis radio that Norwood dined in town Monday evening. He has connections to GM Billy Devaney from Atlanta, and would probably be available for the sixth-year minimum. The Rams shouldn't be done adding to their backfield after signing Norwood, who's coming off a torn ACL.
Source: Jim Thomas on Twitter
Sun Jul 31, 2011 12:01 am Free agent Jerious Norwood is reportedly among the running backs on the Rams' "radar."
Fantasy Source Spin: The Rams are taking a bargain-basement approach to backup running backs. Norwood is coming off a torn right ACL and was let go without a fight by the well-run Falcons. He was drafted when Rams GM Billy Devaney was in the Atlanta front office, however, and would add competition at an awfully thin position.
Source: Jim Thomas on Twitter
Thu Jul 28, 2011 10:02 am The Falcons confirmed they will not be bringing back free agent RB Jerious Norwood.
Fantasy Source Spin: The Falcons had no interest in retaining Norwood even though Jason Snelling is a free agent. His inability to stay healthy has put him on the back burner during free agency and the change-of-pace back can likely be had on the cheap.
Source: Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Sat Jul 23, 2011 4:38 pm Norwood only saw two carries last year before a knee injury ended his season. He's been a good complement as a speedy back to Michael Turner, but it remains to be seen if he will have that same speed after the injury.
Fantasy Source Spin: There's no guarantee after a leg injury, but Norwood is a potential late-round selection.
Source: Fantasy Source
Fri Jul 8, 2011 8:59 am The player rep for free agent Jerious Norwood acknowledges the Falcons are "going in a different direction."
Fantasy Source Spin: "Somebody is going to pick him up," insists the agent. "He's a great player. ... He's ready to play. Somebody is going to get him real quick." The brittle change-of-pace back tore his right ACL less than 10 months ago. We'd be surprised if he lands a guaranteed contract.
Source: Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Sun Jun 26, 2011 2:29 pm Free agent Jerious Norwood insists he's fully healthy after surgery to repair a torn right ACL last September.
Fantasy Source Spin: "I'll be ready to roll this football season," Norwood said. "(Rehab) is pretty much over with." Norwood's agent has been contacted by "a handful of teams," all of them concerned about his health. Norwood was considered an injury risk even before the ACL tear. The market for his services will be softer than he expects.
Source: Jackson Clarion-Ledger
Thu Apr 14, 2011 2:39 pm ESPN NFC South blogger Pat Yasinskas confirms that free agent Jerious Norwood's time in Atlanta "looks to be over."
Fantasy Source Spin: Norwood had been left off reports of players with 4-5 years experience tendered as restricted free agents, leading us to assume the Falcons failed to offer one. The brittle change-of-pace back will hit the open market, but will likely have to settle for a one-year deal coming off ACL surgery.
Source: ESPN.com
Tue Mar 1, 2011 8:03 pm Coach Mike Smith was noncommittal when asked about the future of free agent RB Jerious Norwood.
Fantasy Source Spin: Norwood is still rehabbing a September ACL tear. His free agency is expected to be unrestricted, and the Falcons appear to be ready to move on. The team will place a much higher priority on re-signing Jason Snelling as Michael Turner's change-of-pace back.
Source: Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Tue Sep 21, 2010 3:26 pm Falcons RB Jerious Norwood is out for the season with a torn right ACL.
Fantasy Source Spin: He will be placed on injured reserve, ending his season. Norwood is safe to drop in all leagues including deep Dynasty formats. He will enter the 2011 free agent market as a brittle change-of-pace back with just 12 games played in the past two seasons. Jason Snelling now has a clear path to every-down duties if Michael Turner's groin injury flares up. Snelling should be owned in all leagues.

Mon Sep 20, 2010 4:08 pm Falcons coach Mike Smith indicated Monday that the status of Jerious Norwood (knee) is uncertain going forward.
Fantasy Source Spin: "I know that everybody is concerned about Jerious," said Smith. "He has had some evaluation this morning. We are going to continue to evaluate it and we hope to have more information on Wednesday." It sounds like Norwood may be going for a second opinion. There are rumors he has a torn ACL.
Source: D. Orlando Ledbetter on Twitter
Mon Sep 20, 2010 2:57 pm Jerious Norwood (knee) needed crutches to get around on the sideline during Sunday's win over the Cardinals.
Fantasy Source Spin: Norwood can be seen smiling and getting around without an obvious brace on the knee, but he's on crutches and didn't return after the right knee injury. The extent is unknown. Norwood presumably had an MRI Monday morning.
Source: Associated Press
Sun Sep 19, 2010 1:15 pm Jerious Norwood left Sunday's game against the Cardinals with a right knee injury.
Fantasy Source Spin: The extent is unknown, but Norwood was taken to the locker room, which can't be a great sign. The injury-prone running back is questionable to return.
Thu Aug 26, 2010 2:47 pm Jerious Norwood is still listed as the No. 2 running back on the Falcons' depth chart.
Fantasy Source Spin: Even though Norwood missed most of camp with a hip flexor, he's listed ahead of Jason Snelling. We're not buying it. The more durable Snelling is the obvious choice to be Michael Turner's backup. Norwood will be used in a "change of pace" role.
Source: Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Mon Aug 16, 2010 10:58 am Jerious Norwood (hip) returned to Falcons' practice Monday.
Fantasy Source Spin: Norwood has missed the majority of camp with a sore flexor. He'll be held out for Thursday's exhibition game against Miami, as the Falcons continue to exercise caution. Jason Snelling is the "handcuff" for Michael Turner owners.
Source: D. Orlando Ledbetter on Twitter
Thu Aug 12, 2010 11:27 am Jerious Norwood (hip) is not expected to play in the Falcons' preseason opener Friday.
Fantasy Source Spin: Norwood continues to prove year after year that he can't stay on the field. Jason Snelling is the much better handcuff for Michael Turner owners.
Source: Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Tue Jul 20, 2010 11:41 am Norwood, once the starter in Atlanta, was bypassed by Snelling on the depth chart. Norwood had double-digit carries on three different occasions last season, but he cleared 50 yards rushing only once. He also scored one TD.
Fantasy Source Spin: Turner owners can take Norwood as a late-round protector, but there's next-to-no early-season value. (Bill Bender/SN)

Thu Apr 22, 2010 3:07 pm Falcons re-signed restricted free agent RB Jerious Norwood to a one-year, $1.759 million contract.
Fantasy Source Spin: Norwood, 27 in July, experienced an injury-ruined fourth season in 2009, averaging just 3.3 yards per carry in 10 appearances and falling behind Jason Snelling on the depth chart. Norwood is no longer a safe bet for carries if Michael Turner goes down, eliminating his "handcuff" fantasy value.
Source: Scout.com
Sun Sep 13, 2009 4:28 pm Jerious Norwood rushed twice for seven yards and added five receptions for 49 yards against the Dolphins in Week 1.
Fantasy Source Spin: For all of the talk about an increase in touches, Norwood is being used in the same change of pace role. He nearly had long touchdown reception, but Matt Ryan barely overthrew him.
Mon Sep 7, 2009 6:14 pm Jerious Norwood (knee, head) missed Falcons practice on Monday.
Fantasy Source Spin: The Falcons will update his status on Wednesday, and Norwood is expected to practice (though he may be limited). He remains on schedule for Week 1.
Source: atlantafalcons.com
Sun Sep 6, 2009 12:31 am The Falcons kept just three tailbacks on their 53-man roster, although Verron Haynes made the team and is listed at fullback.
Fantasy Source Spin: They must not be too concerned with Jerious Norwood's knee and head injuries. Haynes will be an option in passing situations because he can pick up the blitz, but Norwood will continue to dominate catches in this backfield.
Wed Sep 2, 2009 3:31 pm The Falcons' website calls coach Mike Smith's decision to withhold Jerious Norwood (head, knee) from the exhibition finale "more of a cautionary move."
Fantasy Source Spin: The club clearly doesn't consider Norwood seriously injured. The Falcons are relying heavily on him in the return game and with Michael Turner coming off a league-high 377 rushing attempts. There's no good reason to risk him.
Source: atlantafalcons.com
Thu Jun 25, 2009 9:31 am Offensive coordinator Mike Mularkey says the Falcons will continue to use their version of the Wildcat this season, with Jerious Norwood under center.
Fantasy Source Spin: Atlanta would be smart to get Norwood more involved after feeding Michael Turner an outrageous 377 carries in 2008. Norwood averaged 6.4 yards a touch, with six all-purpose touchdowns. He's a must-have Turner handcuff.
Source: atlantafalcons.com
Wed May 13, 2009 11:41 am One "high-ranking person with the Falcons" told ESPN.com that RB Jerious Norwood is expected to be more involved in the offense in 2009.
Fantasy Source Spin: The source added that "the last thing we want is Michael [Turner] having to carry 375 times again." Turner is still going to get plenty of carries and the Falcons have made similar proclamations about Norwood in the past, so we wouldn't go overboard with this news.

Beauty Etiquetter: Easing The Awkward Moments Of A Bikini Wax
Beauty Etiquetter is a new column on Beauty Counter in which we address your beauty protocol predicaments with candid advice from industry experts and those in-the-know. To submit a question, e-mail celia email@example.com.
The Quandary: I feel incredibly self-conscious stripping down for a bikini wax. Is there any way to make the experience less uncomfortable?
The Expert in Residence: Amy Tice, aesthetician at Stark Waxing Studio
The Advice: "The first appointment is always the most awkward. Try coming a few minutes early so you can chat with your aesthetician before stripping down; it's like breaking the ice and it can put your mind at ease. I find that the disposable underwear, while definitely small, does provide some level of discretion for clients. Beyond that, it's all about the art of distraction. Lots of girls use the opportunity of a waxing session to get caught up on e-mails, return texts, or get to the next level of Angry Birds—don't worry, you won't offend us. If it makes you feel more comfortable, it's fine to drape a sheet over yourself, so you don't have to witness every step of the process. Just keep in mind that it can't get in the way of the wax. Lastly, bring an iPod to your visit. Your aesthetician might be able to plug it into speakers in the room or you can simply insert the earbuds and focus on Mozart or Adele rather than the wax!"

HRC Foundation Launches 2nd Year of Scholarships for LGBT and Allied Student Activists
March 1, 2010
Today, the HRC Foundation launched the second year of the Generation Equality Scholarships for LGBT and allied students who have demonstrated exceptional commitment to the fight for queer equality. The three $2,000 scholarships are part of the HRC Foundation's Youth and Campus Outreach Program, which aims to provide tools, facilitate connections and empower young people to fight for LGBT equality on campus and beyond. This year, we will be awarding one $2,000 scholarship in each of the following categories:
- First-year students
- Returning four-year school students
- Returning community college students
The application deadline for academic year 2010-2011 is April 16, 2010. Scholarship recipients will be announced in mid- to late-June. To learn more and apply for a Generation Equality Scholarship, visit www.hrc.org/geneqscholarship. Candace Gingrich-Jones, Associate Director of the HRC Foundation's Youth and Campus Outreach Program, had this to say about the launch of this year's application:
We're excited to once again be able to provide exceptional students with the funding that they need and deserve. The more than 1,000 applications we received last year not only illustrated the social and economic barriers queer young people today face, but also just how committed they are to making LGBT equality a reality within their schools, communities and country.
Personally, I most enjoyed reading the essay portion of the applications last year. The word cloud at the left shows the most common words used by students in response to the question "What do you see as the most significant challenge facing LGBTQ young people? What are your ideas for addressing this challenge?" While the cloud is merely a snapshot of what students said, many discussed their struggle for acceptance and the stereotypes, discrimination, harassment and hate they or their friends faced. Many mentioned feeling isolated, rejected, marginalized and powerless. Reading through hundreds of their essays was a poignant reminder of the hardships and struggles queer young people still face. But, as Candace said, reading students' applications was also extremely heartening and reminded me why more than ever, young people today support LGBT equality. For our generation, anything less than full equality just doesn't make sense – and we won't settle for anything less either. I look forward to reading about everything this year's applicants are doing to hasten the day when society makes sense again and everyone is treated fairly. And don't forget that the Generation Equality Scholarships are part of more than 220 scholarships available to LGBT and allied students. We compiled the list of national, statewide and school-specific scholarships to ensure that as many young LGBT and allied activists as possible can reach and benefit from institutions of higher education. If you administer or know of one that is not currently included, please let us know so we can add it!

Forty-seven-year-old farmer Rod Tichon of Andrew, AB, has the chance to become an instant millionaire tomorrow night, as he takes to the ice in TSN's fourth annual, international award-winning contest, the Chevrolet Equinox Million Dollar Shootout. The contest will air live nationally on TSN on New Year's Eve (December 31) during the first intermission of the 2010 IIHF WORLD JUNIOR CHAMPIONSHIP round-robin game featuring Canada vs. USA, (game coverage begins at 7:30 p.m. ET).
Rod will have 24 seconds to shoot 20 pucks into an open net from the far blue line. If he scores 15 or more goals within the allotted time, he will be eligible to win $1 million in a one-time payout.
Earlier today, Rod honed his wrist shot in a special one-hour practice session. In multiple attempts from the far blue line, Rod's best results were 17 and 15 goals – both of which would be enough for him to take home the $1 million prize tomorrow night.
As part of tomorrow's contest, Rod will also have the chance to win up to four all-new 2010 Chevrolet Equinox Crossovers for himself, his two shooters – his brother, John Tichon, and his nephew, Lee Tichon – and one randomly selected World Juniors game attendee.
Depending on the amount of total goals scored as a group, prizes will be awarded as follows:5-9 goals – Rod wins a new Chevrolet Equinox Crossover and a $1,500 ESSO gift card10-14 goals – Rod, John and Lee each win a new Chevrolet Equinox Crossover and a $1,500 ESSO gift card15 goals or more – Rod, John, Lee and one randomly chosen IIHF WORLD JUNIOR CHAMPIONSHIP game attendee all win a new Chevrolet Equinox Crossover, for a total of four vehicles given away and a $1,500 ESSO gift card
Born and raised in Andrew, AB – a village of less than 500 people located approximately 120 km northeast of Edmonton – Rod played hockey growing up and is an emphatic supporter of the Edmonton Oilers. Aside from hockey Rod enjoys watching football and curling. A 47-year-old hay and cattle farmer, Rod stands 6'0'' tall and weighs in at 210 lbs. Rod was randomly chosen from more than 10 million online entries.

Who Makes Next WWE Game?
Ubisoft is now showing interest in THQ games(getting the rights to them), so makes me wonder, what company would people on here like to see, make the first WWE game after THQ loses it(whether it be because WWE doesn't renew their deal with THQ,cause THQ just goes bankrupt and can't even make a WWE game, or some company buys rights to WWE games,like EA Sports did for UFC)
Ubisoft:Notable series like Assassin's Creed,Far Cry,Prince of Persia,Just Dance,Rayman,Tom Clancy
EA Sports: Notable series like NBA Live(likely no longer being made),Madden NFL,NHL,FIFA and now UFC
2K: Notable series like NBA 2K,NHL 2K,MLB 2K
Square Enix: Notable Series like Call of Duty,Final Fantasy,Tomb Raider
Namco Bandai Games: Games like Soulcalibur(4 and 5),Super Smash Bros 4,Naruto,Dragonball Z
Or if there's other companies out there people think should be considered, vote for "Other" and list the company. I just got this list from looking at the companies that made some of the most popular games currently on EBGames under genres like sports or fighting.
SCEA would have been a good company to consider as well,but then it'd be like the old SvR days where games were only made for Playstation.
I'd want 2K or Square Enix to make it. 2K would be best choice. Especially with EA getting UFC, 2K should be wanting to rival EA and get a fighting series of their own. WWE games sell much better than UFC games, so if 2K(or any company) wanted to compete with EA Sports, that's really all they have to do is get WWE.
Re: Who Makes Next WWE Game?
Any of EA, Square Enix or 2k. can't stand Ubisoft or Namco.
THQ and Yukes are already working on '14. I don't see any other company making the game unless they really do go bankrupt. But whoever takes over should hire Bryan Williams to be part of the team.
Re: Who Makes Next WWE Game?
I say other. Give Spike a Chance (fire pro series) the recent 3d avatar game was good, but imagine a simulated version of that engine?
Re: Who Makes Next WWE Game?
Re: Who Makes Next WWE Game?
That avatar game had nothing to do with FPW.
Anyways, as you pointed out OP, 2K would make the most sense. They would get a good piece of IP, it would probably sell well, and they would probably make a damn good game... Or, if anything, a DIFFERENT game.
Other games... Well, we can only dream of a official WWE/TNA game, in a powerful new engine, with Fire Pro gameplay and mechanics.
Oh and a fun choice: Telltale. Wrestling point and click adventure game. ;D
Re: Who Makes Next WWE Game?
EA wouldn't care for it & 2K wouldnt be any better either way, THQ cares more than others combined
Re: Who Makes Next WWE Game?
THQ are a dreadful company and the sooner they go out of business the better. WWE seriously needs to change who they give their licence to.
Re: Who Makes Next WWE Game?
Considering that THQ & Yukes are already working on '14. For '15 and on I wouldn't really be opposed to 2K or EA giving it a shot. Honestly it can't really hurt to try.
Re: Who Makes Next WWE Game?
They are seriously one of the better companies, I don't know where you are coming from. The WWE games are one of their only bad games in recent memory.

my first bit set
By miss frannie
from Undisclosed
Comments about Drill Master High Speed Steel Drill Bits with 3/8" Cutdown Shanks, 29 Piece:
I have used a few of these bits around my house and they all have worked to my satisfaction. But I don't do any heavy duty stuff. Just wood and plaster. They work great for the price I paid.

I've had no problems so far.
By Eddie
from the Greater Chicagoland area
About Me Professional
Best Uses
I've owned a set of these bits for more than 5 years. I use them EXTENSIVELY for cutting in mild steel. Some of the smallest bits I have snapped but this is largely my own fault, not that of the bits. I do most drilling with a drill press, set at about 620rpm for larger drilling. Just today I have been cutting a piece of plate steel, 3/4" thick. I am drilling 24 holes each a different size and using the largest 24 bits that come with this set. Some of them come with an incorrect grind angle or an off-center point but sharpening bits is child's play and takes 15-20 seconds on a bench sander (or grinder) to have them cutting beautifully. Make sure to use a lubricating oil when drilling metal. Even motor oil would be good. The idea is to keep the tip from overheating and deforming. If drilling metal and you see smoke come off then you need more lubrication or a slower speed (for the larger bits). With proper care and use these drills will last quite some time. One more thing to note is when trying to drill with the larger bits it's always a good idea to start with a smaller bit to prevent the drill from walking around. Just a small dimple or divot should be fine, no need to spend time drilling the full thickness twice unless precision is very crucial. If that's the case then I doubt you'd be buying Harbor Freight bits to begin with.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Bits break very easily
By B-Rob
from NYC
About Me Avid Do-It-Yourselfer
Most of the bits broke in light duty (soft woods) on the first use. They must use a low quality alloy. Also none of the bits are remotely straight which makes precision work impossible. Expected better quality for the price.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
Has it occurred to you that just maybe people are silent in a pug because they're just shy? I never say anything in pugs outside of "business" talk, because I'm uncomfortable around strangers and it takes me a long time to open up to people. If someone speaks to me I respond because it's just polite but I have no desire to yap with strangers. Comments like yours are why I don't pug anymore unless I absolutely have to or a guildie needs help in one. I would rather go without the rep than have to put up with chatty jerks being all judgmental and obnoxious just because my anxiety disorder means I don't join in banal small talk with people I don't know.
You social butterfly types need to be less judgmental and understand everyone playing the game isn't like you, and everyone playing the game does not play for the same reasons you do.

The crash involving a Bibb County deputy leaves questions about why he allegedly got out pointing his gun.
The deputy identified as 26-year old Chad Shockley-- is out of the hospital.
ABC 33/40 has learned Shockley graduated the from the Mobile Police Academy on July 6, 2012, less than a month prior to crashing his patrol unit into a business in Vance early Sunday morning.
Deputy had just his overnight shift with the Bibb County Sheriff's office where he's worked for the past two years.
Tuscaloosa county authorities confirm that people on the scene reported that the Shockley got out pointing a gun.
However -- the sheriff's office declined to comment..
A spokesperson says that they believe the deputy was dazed from the accident-- and went into a 'self-preservation' and training mode.
State troopers are investigating the accident.
We're told a toxicology report on the deputy came back negative.

Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)
John C. Weaver
Halifax, Nova Scotia was arguably the most strategic Allied navel base in North America during the Second World War. This dissertation assesses the impact of wartime social change on Halifax by placing the war within the context of long term urban development. This departs from the prevailing "top-down" perspective informing much of the current historiography on Canada's home front during the Second World War. A housing and population survey conducted by the federal government in 1944 formed the basis for statistical reconstruction of the physical and social structure of wartime Halifax. The findings show that the most serious issue facing Halifax during this period was the shortage of adequate and affordable housing. Public sector initiatives aimed a relieving housing congestion found little political support, due to a well-entrenched rentier class who benefited from wartime conditions, and an unwillingness on the part of lower levels of government to undertake projects without the participation of the federal government. The housing emergency exacerbated social tensions in an urban population already fragmented along racial, socio-economic, and service-civilian lines. These tensions erupted into civil disorder on V-E Day when civilians and service personnel ransacked the central business district. Geographically, Halifax was ill-suited to deal with rapid urban expansion, yet the war forced the city to undergo the difficult transition fro small provincial city to medium-sized metropolis under conditions of extreme duress. The wartime military buildup brought rapid change to Halifax, but the underlying patten of class relations and the pace of urbanization were only temporarily disrupted. The real transformation of Halifax occurred several years after the war, when a more stable economy and population base stimulated sustainable urban growth. Even so, the major developmental issues challenging Halifax in the 1950s were essentially no different from those confronting the city in 1920. The Second World War defeated Hitlerism, but it did not solve the housing problem in Halifax.
