Don't you love it when people do good things, expecting no recognition, and then they get honored in a big way? That's the story for four teens who will be recognized for their community service at the fourth annual TeenNick Halo Awards. One of the four teens is Taylor Waters of Sanford, who is being honored for her work with the American Red Cross. To make this a star-studded affair, each of the four honorees is paired with a celebrity who has a similar commitment to community service. Enter Tyra Banks, Justin Bieber, Josh Duhamel and Emma Stone. Waters is paired with Duhamel, who also is a supporter of the Red Cross, according to a news release, in addition to a foundation in his home state of North Dakota. The awards show will be hosted by uber-entertainer Nick Cannon, who happens to be chairman of TeenNick. Side note: Does Cannon ever sleep? Discuss. In any case, congratulations are being sent to Waters. 8 p.m. Nick at Nite
For something a little different, let's turn to the second part of this Ken Burns documentary, which started Sunday night. The famed documentarian is turning his lens to tell the story behind the decadelong drought from the 1930s.

Burns and writer Dayton Duncan spoke to 26 survivors who were children at the time. This part focuses on families who fled to California to escape the drought's nasty effects. 8 p.m. WUNC

Our active weather pattern continues as we dig deeper into this third full week of February. Monday brought scattered showers and thunderstorms to the Brazos Valley. In fact, after a few tornado warned storms moved across Montgomery and San Jacitnto Counties around 2pm yesterday. The National Weather Service in Houston found that a EF-1 tornado briefly touched down just east of Shephered. The complete report from Tuesday's storm survey can be found here.
Cold & Rainy Wednesday
Sunshine and mild temperatures filled the Brazos Valley this afternoon, in the wake of our Monday cold front. Hope you were able to enjoy it -- scattered rain, clouds and chilly weather is in store for the middle of the week.
As our next upper-level system moves from the Coast of California towards the Desert Southwest on Wednesday, a warm front will start to work through the State of Texas. The Brazos Valley will sit on the cooler and more stable side of that warm front, but warm air will overrun that cool airmass in the upper-levels of the atmosphere.
Expect morning temperatures in the chilly mid-40s when you wake up in the morning, followed by a struggle to make it into the mid-to-upper 50s by Wednesday afternoon. While rain won't fall all day long -- light, scattered showers and the occasional patch of drizzle will likley pass you by. It'll be a great day to keep a jacket and an umbrella close by.
Thunderstorms -- some severe -- expected by Thursday Morning
As that upper-low swings across the Plains, a surface low will sweep across Texas Wednesday night / early Thursday morning. Temperatures will actually WARM during the overnight hours leading into Thursday morning, which is the arrival of the moist and unstable air to help fuel a severe weather threat.
The Brazos Valley will sit near what is called "The Triple Point" -- an area where a surface low, dry line / cold front, and warm front all intersect. That area of a storm system typically spurs on severe weather.
What to Watch For:
For now it looks like our best timing of storms on Thursday will come around the 6am to 8am time frame. As these storms blow through -- likely in the form of a line of thunderstorms -- large hail and strong, damaging winds won't be out of the question with some of this activity. Should a few isolated thunderstorms spin up ahead of this main line, we could see a brief tornado threat from time to time early in the day as well.
Below is a look at our PinPoint Computer Forecast over the next 2 days:
Wednesday Morning --
Thursday Morning (Severe Weather Threat Increases --
Thursday Mid-Morning --
Thursday Noon (Severe Weather / Rain Chance Moves East) --
Possible Rain Totals:
If everything plays out the way that it looks on paper, 1/2" to 1.5" of rain is not out of the question across the Brazos Valley by the end of business on Thursday. Here's an early look at what our In-House PinPoint Computer Forecast is predicting:
Stay Informed:
Don't forget you can keep up with the latest in the forecast by checking back to the weather page, twitter (@KBTXWeather or @KBTXShel) along with our Facebook page. As rain and thunderstorms start to move through the Brazos Valley, you can track them alongside the PinPoint Weather Team using our Interactive PinPoint Radar.

Summary (Masterplots II: World Fiction Series)
A Coin in Nine Hands is a novel about a social group and about a period, the reign of Benito Mussolini in 1933. Marguerite Yourcenar uses the device of the circulating ten-lira coin to link her diverse characters, but they are also linked by the period and by the effect Mussolini had on each of them. The first three characters whom the reader encounters are all in search of some illusion that will enable them to survive. For example, Paolo Farina can still think of himself as a desirable man when the Roman prostitute, Lina Chiari, goes to bed with him. Lina can face the world with the help of cosmetics she purchases from Giulio. Giulio's difficulties are more complex—his wife is a shrew, his daughter's husband, Carlo, is in jail, and his daughter, Vanna, and her sick child live with Giulio—and his consoling illusion is the Catholic church. The relationships between these people are primarily commercial rather than human; they are selling and buying illusions.
Rosalia di Credo's story is somewhat different; her difficulty is her inability to recover or return to the family home, Gemera, in Sicily. Nevertheless, while Rosalia idealizes that home, its description and history suggest that it is merely another comforting illusion. Not only is Gemera decayed and decrepit, but its springs have dried up as well. In addition, Rosalia was driven from the decaying mansion by the enraged villagers, who think that her father is a demon. Rosalia...

Educate yourself about scholarships
3 April 2013
WHEN it comes to scholarships in Malaysia, they generally fall into one of two categories: corporate or government, or collegebased. Corporate or government scholarships are often a student's best bet to study overseas, as many of them cover not only tuition costs, but living, computer and travel expenses as well. At the same time, they encourage their scholars to pursue their degree overseas and those that are for SPM school-leavers cover pre-university programmes.

Man Eater
Talk3this wiki
Redirected from Man-Eater
The name or term "Man Eater" should not be confused with Maneating Plant. |
The Man Eater or Man-Eater is a betentacled insect that lodges itself inside a gigantic skull and attacks by extending its tentacles or shooting ripple lasers. In Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow, all three tentacles must be killed before it is destroyed. A Man Eater also appears in Boss Rush mode for some reason.
A giant Man Eater is the boss of the Skeleton Cave in Order of Ecclesia. It attacks by tossing bouncing skulls and bones, smashing into Shanoa, shooting a ripple laser and reaching out to her with tentacles.
Appearance GalleryEdit
Enemy DataEdit
Enemy Data: Man Eater | ||||
Image | Name - Game Description | Statistics | Items | Location |
' | 4. Outer Keep | |||
A worms that subsists on skulls. | Strong: Nothing Weak: Sword HP: 666 Exp: 444 Timestop: Unaffected | Rare Drop: Rahab's Sword Soul: Ripple Laser | Underground Reservoir | |
This monstrous insect buzzes about inside a great skull. | Weak: Slashing, Fire, Holy HP: 2500 Exp: 1500 Skill Pt: 40 Atk: 51 | Skeleton Cave |
Super Castlevania IVEdit
Spelled backwards, Puwexil is "lix ew up", this can be interpreted as "licks you up", which is one of its attacks.
Castlevania: Order of EcclesiaEdit
The Man Eater appears in Skeleton Cave as the game's fourth boss. Unlike Aria of Sorrow, where it consisted of one skull with eyeball tentacles coming out of the eyes and mouth, it now looks like a giant, many-faced skull with eyeless tentacles. It has two attacks. The first is having the tentacles fire off ripple lasers. Although they can be dodged by jumping through the laser, they are still hard to dodge. Its other attack is dropping its body on you. It can also spawn bouncing bone projectiles. If you want this fight to end quickly, then attack the tentacles, as they are weak to slash attacks, making the Vol Confodere glyph effective, or use the Luminatio glyph, as it will hit multiple times dealing good damage. If you want the fight to last awhile, use the Vol Macir glyph to attack the skull. The tentacles, however, are the true weak points of this boss, because they will abruptly stop attacking when you strike one of them, and they will retract back into the skull as well. Your reward for defeating Man Eater is the Ordinary Rock relic, allowing Shanoa to do a double jump. This Man Eater resembles Legion from Circle of the Moon, except larger and with skulls instead of human faces.
Similiarly to Olrox, the Man Eater from Aria of Sorrow also has 666 HP, a number commonly associated with the devil or evil.

Why they could not include that missing SMX in the first place really?! "We will suck you dry" - business as usual
Titan LE seems logic but I don´t see Nvidia waste the high profit of fully fledged Quadros/Teslas and sell them to gamers for $1200 when they could make multiples instead...

NV: Ok, it's two months later, here's the incredible card we meant to release, the 8800 ULTRA! oh, and this cut-down version not even based on the same core, the 8800GT Consumer: FUUUUUUU, I just bought two 8800GTXs! I feel bad for all the guys out there that just dropped a grand or two on "The world's most powerful consumer graphics card" as claimed by NV, NV knowing full well the Ultra was in development. If I had just bought a Titan and could still return it, it would be going back to the store, and I would not be replacing it with another Titan of any variety, and probably not with another NV card. Bastards. At least when AMD came along and released the 7970GHz Edition a few months after the initial 7970, they also released an official flasher, even if it was released under the radar, so you could simply flash a non-GHz to a GHz. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a fanboy for either side, this just seems like unfair business practice and it's not the first time they've done something like this. I was looking forward to triple GTX670s, but now I'm not so sure I want to give them my money.
Well, if we needed any more proof that nVidia are on their high horse again.. here comes the Ultra to remind us of the last time they tried to make us pay 50% more for a 5% improvement. So, Titan LE - 799$, Titan - 999$, Titan "Ultra" - 1299$. And you know what? I'm actually happy. I see no reason to upgrade at this point, so nVidia, you can go eff yourselves.
Pretty much my thoughts entirely. I'm not so sure they will release a Titan Ultra though. But if they did the only thing they could do to make it more palatable is release an official BIOS update for the Titan cards that increases voltage and power limits to the cards hardware spec. That would offer a substantial increase in the performance and wouldn't have the early adopters so pissed off. You listening Nvidia? My future GFX purchases switching back to the red team if you're not!
im just thinking, maybe this ''ultra'' is a bit of controversy to get people talking about NVidia cards! and then all the titan owners are happy and people who don't want to spend soooo much are content! and NVidia got some free advertising!
NVidia: looks guys, look at how much everybody despises our actions and company values since the rumour of us making a quadro chip as a gaming card. just think how much money all this hatred will generate. They sure pulled a fast one on us. All kidding aside, it may not even be true. And if it is, nvidia will make money from enthusiasts with too much money, or people contemplating titans but didnt get one straight off the bat, and all the old titan owners will be mad. But guaranteed, somebody is going to buy it, somewhere, and that will justify it to NVidia.
+1 In Q3/Q4 2012 there were a few tech sites that said; Nvidia would release GK110 (now called Titan) as the new 7 series if AMD released the 8 series. nvidia have done exactly that but changed the names so they could charge a premium. If the Titan SKU`s were supposed to be the nvidia GTX 7 series, then expect at least a few (2/3) more SKU`s based on it. Can`t wait to see this happen all over again on the 20nm.
UPS is bringing me EVGA GTX TITAN tomorrow, backplate I already have. Not a single f*** was given when I read this news. Doesn't make my card any more expensive or slower...
While I agree with some of the points made. People will vote with their money and Titan is sold out everywhere so there is definitely a market for it. As far as overpricing goes it depends. The last few years have been pretty good to me and I have been rather willing to pay a small premium for a card that has software which works very well on all the systems I work on. Making good drivers and so on with proper updates take company resources which cost time and money to do right.
8800GT retailed for $300. I know because I bought one on release day. I don't think they dropped it's price by $50 within a month.
If I owned a Titan I'd sell it before they drop the value, then buy the Ultra when it comes out. Paying $1000 and still not having the best card would drive me nuts.
Shouldn't this card be the GTX 780 and GTX 770? Or maybe GTX 760/750, make room for whatever new chip their conjuring up. I don't know just seems way to absorbed even at $600.
Wasn't it obvious with that disabled SMX that there will be full Titan as soon as they bin enough chips? @qubit: I just realized I almost parroted your post that I've missed
Exactly, I don't know why so many people are mad about this. I knew and I didn't even buy the first Titan that it wasn't a full fledged GK110 chip and Nvidia was bound to release a full uncut version.
No that's what GK204 is there for and it will be slower then Titan and released before 1st August 2013. Goggle 780 GTX gpu-z GK204 database Im going for GCN2 8970 for sure ~ October 2013, it will beat all Titan variants and cheaper too, mark my words Maxwell vs Vulcanic Islands (AMD 9000) is another story though, but I cant hold out that long Q2-Q3 2014 or even further away..
That's the point that has been brought up so many times and W1zzard has summed it well on his review Who bought one or more Titans can probably buy a Titan Ultra, too
Why, 7970 is getting old and AMD postponed GCN2 from early Q1 2013 to Q4 2013 with their game bundle program. GCN2 8970 http://www.techpowerup.com/gpudb/1932/AMD_Radeon_HD_8970.html Vs GTX Titan Ultra http://www.techpowerup.com/gpudb/2358/NVIDIA_GeForce_GTX_TITAN_ULTRA.html I think Nvidia said wth we will gonna release it sooner and grab bigger market share with GK204 aka 700 series, but imo it won't go so smooth... ok there will be some demand, but GKx04 is still a midrange chip even if they make it with double cherry on top. And I try to avoid anything midrange from nvidia, GK104 was a perfect example how buggy it can be, also GF104/114 same story - a big mess from the start, still is in some cases.

Wait, so by buying a box of cookies, I can foment revolution AND get tasty things to stick in my piehole? Sign me up.
I have frittered away a life's savings on ballerina tutus, novelty notebooks, rings made of teeth, vintage Brownie Scout uniforms, Pillsbury Dough Boy collectibles, and Barbie doll tiaras. Hasn't everyone?

Basically, unlike the Boy and Girl Scouts of America, the YMCA Indian Guides thought that boys and girls should play together -- and that if there were gender-specific themes in their crafts and games, that it would be up to the child to decide if he or she wanted to conform to it or not.
