I haven't regularly gamed on my consoles for well over a year, I play the big releases that are only on consoles (that I am interested in) and there haven't been that many. I know it can be annoying for people to be hanging around on forums and actively say they aren't into the console the forum is about, but frankly, out of all the consoles I am the most enthusiastic about the PS3, I look to the PS3 for the best games and am throughly on board with PlayStation.
But.. I just want some new hardware. This may not be a problem many people have at all, but playing on consoles is just becoming annoying. I have noticed as developers are trying to cram more graphical fidelity into their games, but they are doing so at cost of other things like FOV (field of view), they are slowly decreasing the FOV on games so that they're drawing less on screen, but what they are drawing on screen is better graphically. I don't want that, it is so annoying and really puts me off playing so many console games these days.
That and in general, games are just so low res, slow and most of the time lacking decent AA.
Also, with the success of Call of Duty and a certain few genres, we are seeing console developers being swayed more towards these types of games, there doesn't seem to be much variety anymore in the types of games we are seeing on consoles.
I have lost my 'console gaming mojo' and it really hurts me to say that, and I feel so bad for posting this here because it comes across as just attacking the platform. But I don't think I am, I think this playstation platform is the best at what it is supposed to be doing at this moment, but I think they have dragged this generation on far too long and it is harming games, speaking as someone who also plays games on PC so sees games evolve with the hardware, even if for a large portion of the games, they aren't taking true advantage of all the extra hardware, there are just basic improvements that I want, like resolution, anti-aliasing, a decent framerate.
Console gaming becomes more and more like a chore which I force myself to do for the good console only games.
So perhaps for some, this same fatigue isn't for the same reasons as mine, but the lack of anything new and exciting is making people lose enthusiasm.

I go through this phase from time to time, but I try and get a few hours in here and there and try and stick with one game, get it finished then move on to the next. If I try and play too many games at once, I get bored because I have to remember all the details, what I was doing, how to play etc.
Stick with one game and play it through, don't try and play every single game that comes out or you may have because that can always make it feel worse.
Also, try and do something other than gaming first, and set gaming as a goal after you have achieved what you needed to do that doesn't involve gaming, clean your room, wash your car, gardening, exam work, anything, and when you have that done, you may find that the gaming is more enjoyable because you had to do something else that wasn't so easy to do.
It's what I do, and I find it works, because I then appreciate games more.
Sometimes I find those that are only interested in blasting everything and not necessarily actually listening to the story part of the game, or just tend to cut every scene because they don't want to watch them can get bored with games too. I only ever do that if I've already played a game and running through a second or 3rd time, but most times I enjoy the story as much as the game itself.
Then again, that could come from my past when Text adventures were all we had and you had to read every bit of detail to get the most out of the game. Nowadays, it's all to easy with everything done for you, and people are too easily distracted with Twitter or Facebook.
Play the game and ignore everything else, except if you have kids or a partner, for a few hrs and then do something else.
Nice post
@Ellie87 I just bought Dragons Dogma, after getting rediculously bored with Skyrim and its a great game! I'm loving it! It reminds me of Fable for some reason..
Exams are over now thankfully so I don't feel guilty when I'm playing, so I can sink some time now into Dragons Dogma!
I think Dragons Dogma will be my next game for sure, I can probably wait to get Max Payne when the price has dropped a little bit.
I was watching someone play on DD in HMV the other day and it did look good! He probably thought I was a stalker cos I was there for ages!

TV shows and films now take more time in my life than games do per week.
Its likely because of the ondemand services that strangly the PS3 and SKY box now provide.
BBC Iplayer. ITV player, Lovefilm, + My Sky Any time content. Have removed the dependance off Games for free time.
Both BBC and Love film have got me into a few foreign Film and TV series shows that I would have never have watched live as they were sub titled.
I will still by Multi player and long term games out right, as due to research I know the game will get new content but its getting easy to tell games that, I will be bored off very easy. Which means they will get a rental only. Rental means I get to play so many more titles for the same Price as buying a full tilte and as yet Ive not found any games that were so good I would have to buy after renting. All the renting has done is confirm that if I had spent £30 on the Full title at launch it would have been wasted...

i had that once or twice it was frustrating as hell too. i got it cuz i just got too good at my games it took away all the fun just knowing what my opponents would do it got too predictable for me. i know im not exactly a professional at games but it didnt change the fact that they were getting old. but wen i started playing some of the armored core games that changed alot since every1 had a unique ac that was truly fun and i met alot of friends there. (sorry if i put too much its the first time i've replied to a forum)

I think your feeling like you are because theres so many games coming out/are out now that are so similar, it'll take a new exciting game like 'The Last Of Us' to get you back into gaming, theres no doubt its going to be an amazing game seeing as its coming from Naughty Dog

Already registered for use in row and hort crops, a new fungicide ingredient will instead get its Canadian debut as part of a new treatment for field peas, lentils and chickpeas.
The Canadian crop protection arm of German chemical firm BASF has picked up registration for Priaxor DS, which it said Wednesday will be the first Canadian fungicide containing its new active ingredient Xemium -- BASF's trade name for fluxapyroxad, part of the carboxamide family (Group 7).
Priaxor, which contains the new ingredient in suspension at 250 grams per litre, also contains 250 g/L of pyraclostrobin, the strobilurin (Group 11) active found in products such as BASF's Headline.
"It's not often that a fungicide with this kind of mobility comes to market," Jason Leitch, BASF Canada's brand manager for fungicides, said in a release. "Priaxor DS acts quickly to protect against such key pulse crop diseases as mycosphaerella blight in peas and anthracnose in lentils. But it's the ongoing activity that makes it so unique."
Priaxor, the company said, uses its combined modes of action to bind itself to the leaf surface for "immediate contact activity," followed by "ongoing systemic activity to redistribute throughout the plant for continuous disease protection -- even on areas of the plant that were missed during spraying."
Priaxor DS's label covers it for control of ascochyta blight in lentils and chickpeas, anthracnose in lentils and powdery mildew and mycosphaerella blight in field peas. The product is also registered for suppression of white mold in all three crops.
The actives "work together through multiple stages of fungal growth to inhibit spore germination, mycelial growth and sporulation," BASF Canada said on its website. Priaxor will also be rainfast within an hour after application, the company said.
Combining the two actives is also expected to help growers manage chemical resistance among affected diseases, the company said.
BASF on Wednesday hailed Priaxor as the "first of several fungicides in the BASF pipeline that will feature the new Xemium active ingredient."
The company in 2010 submitted registration dossiers for Xemium to ag chemical regulatory agencies worldwide, billing it as a "next-generation" carboxamide. The company announced in August that it had picked up Canadian registration for Xemium on a list of row crops and horticultural crops.
More new fungicide products containing Xemium will be "phased in," BASF said, as it moves to address global maximum residue limits (MRLs) on other crops.
Growers in some nations are also already cleared to use Xemium against certain diseases in various fruit and vegetable crops as well as field crops such as wheat, barley and oil rapeseed.

Dmitry Chesnokov
Kobe or LeBron? Arnold or Sly? Pavel Datsyuk's choices
Dmitry Chesnokov at Puck Daddy10 days agoWe brought you Pavel Datsyuk's wide-ranging interview with Pavel Lysenkov of SovSport on Tuesday, covering everything from Jesus Christ to mustaches.
Well, Pavel had an extra bit of conversation that we felt you might enjoy, as Datsyuk answered a few "either/or" questions about pop culture, hockey and mushrooms. Enjoy!
Q. Schwarzenegger or Stallone?
DATSYUK: "I have to go with Arnold… I had a posted of Schwarzenegger on the wall above my bed when I was young. But Terminator always scared me."
Q. A penalty shot during the shootout, or during the game?
DATSYUK: "The latter. Because you don't get a point added to your stats for scoring in the shootout. This year we almost don't practice penalty shots, hence the results to cry about. Last year we had a great series of win at the Joe. This year there was another series, but of losses. We need to change…"
Q. Kobe Bryant or Lebron James?
Chatting With Pavel Datsyuk about Olympics, HBO 24/7, Sigmund Freud and mustaches
Dmitry Chesnokov at Puck Daddy11 days agoPavel Datsyuk is scheduled to return to the Detroit Red Wings on Tuesday night against the Florida Panthers, having missed the last seven games with a concussion. Being that he was a nearly point per game player before that injury, it's a welcomed return.
In the meantime, Datsyuk sat down with Pavel Lysenkov of SovSporta few weeks ago for a wide-ranging Q&A. As usual, it's Datsyuk being as insightful and funny as we've come to expect.
Here's a translated version of that Russian interview:
Q. New Jersey Devils' defenseman Anton Volchenkov told me one 'Hockey in the NHL is like a war – you never know if you come back from a game in one piece.'
DATSYUK: "It is a rough comparison. But games here are like battles. Injuries happen every day. So Anton is somewhat right."
Who were you thankful for during Thanksgiving?
Chatting with Sergei Bobrovsky: Will injury derail Sochi Olympics spot? (Puck Daddy Interview)
Dmitry Chesnokov at Puck Daddy12 days agoSergei Bobrovsky of the Columbus Blue Jackets was injured in a game against the Tampa Bay Lightning on Dec. 3, straining his groin. He's expected to miss around a month of action, which pushes his injury rehab right into the time when the Russian Olympic team's roster will be announced.
When I spoke to him this weekend for Sovietsky Sport, he was resting at home and reading "The Count of Monte Cristo." The Blue Jackets are eager to see if Bobrovsky will be back with a vengeance like Edmond Dantes.
Q. How are you nowadays?
BOBROVSKY: "I am trying to stay positive. Every athlete has injuries at some point of their careers."
What happened on that play? There was no contact with the opposing player.
"Tampa's player shot the puck to the top corner, and I was sliding in the opposite direction, I made a sudden move, caught the puck but felt right away that something bad had happened."
Did you realize right away something bad happened?
"Immediately. I had never had anything like that before. It was my first ever groin injury."
What's next?
No NHL star will carry Russian flag in Sochi Opening Ceremonies
Dmitry Chesnokov at Puck Daddy17 days agoNone of the Russian NHL stars will become a flag bearer for their country in Sochi in a few months, the first time Russia will host the Winter Olympics in history.
(Come to think of it, there will be no NHL flag bearers for any country in Sochi.)
The speculation was that all – Alex Ovechkin, Evgeni Malkin and Pavel Datsyuk - had great chances of becoming flag bearers.
"The opening ceremony of the 2014 Olympic Games will take place on February 7 at 20:14 Moscow time," Team Russia 2014 media project manager Andrei Mitkov told Sovetsky Sport.
"By that time only KHL players will be in Sochi. The Russian Olympic team has a scheduled friendly game against Team Latvia on February 8, and one against Team Switzerland on February 9. The charter flight with NHL players will arrive in the Olympic capital only on February 10.
KHL team hires women in lingerie to sell tickets, 'cheer up fans' (Video)
Dmitry Chesnokov at Puck Daddy18 days agoMetallurg Magnitogorsk of the Kontinental Hockey League presented their new "employees" recently: Ticket-sellers wearing nothing but lingerie, fishnet stockings and high heels.
Before you condemn (or celebrate) their new dress code, note that it was just a publicity stunt.
Here's what it looked like. Please note this video may be NSFW and that it features about four and a half minutes of the Benny Hill theme.
"This idea was born spontaneously," Metallurg's public relations specialist Anton Chaika told Sovetsky Sport. "We wanted to cheer the fans up before the upcoming home stand. We held auditions for night club dancers and three of them got offers to work in the ticket windows!"
He later added: "Hockey is a man's sport. What man wouldn't like to look at a beautiful woman?"
(Ed. Note: Gee, wonder why the Russian women's national team has never medaled in the Olympics with that sterling, progressive attitude.)
This is not the first time the KHL or its teams have explored this side of marketing.
Puck Daddy chats with Sergei Bobrovsky about post-Vezina life, Ilya Bryzgalov and goalie fights
Dmitry Chesnokov at Puck Daddy1 mth agoSergei Bobrovsky was visibly upset sitting in the locker room after the loss to the Washington Capitals, giving up an overtime goal to fellow countryman Alex Ovechkin. Just a few hours ago, during the morning skate, Bobrovsky discussed strategy with the coaching staff, drawing diagrams on a white board attached to the glass. The Blue Jackets are in the last place in the Metropolitan Division and last year's Vezina Trophy winner is being really hard on himself for his play.
"This is a difficult time for us." Bobrovsky told me after the game against Washington. "We are trying to adopt, to adjust to the Eastern Conference. We are getting used to playing teams a little different. But we are always working on getting better.
"It is still too early to say whether it is somehow easier to play in the Eastern Conference for us as a team. We haven't played that many games, that's why it is too early to draw conclusions."
For Bobrovsky himself, the Vezina memories are well in the past.
"I am not thinking of the Vezina at all anymore," he said. "Only in the summer did I get to enjoy it. But now the thoughts about it are gone.
Vladislav Tretiak on Russia's pressure to win in Sochi, World Cup vs. Olympics (Puck Daddy Interview)
Dmitry Chesnokov at Puck Daddy1 mth agoThe weight on Team Russia's shoulders heading into the Sochi Olympics cannot be underestimated. It also cannot be properly described. The country is hosting its first ever Winter Olympics, and hockey is the event Russia wants to win. But even on paper Team Russia is far from being the favorites.
The fiasco of Vancouver has forced the Russian Hockey Federation to make changes as to how the roster is selected and how players, especially those playing in the NHL, are scouted.
Vladislav Tretiak, the President of the Russian Hockey Federation is the first high level official to embark on a North American scouting trip. After visiting Montreal, Tretiak came to Washington to attend the Capitals' game against the Blue Jackets. Tretiak spent the majority of the game watching from the Capitals owners' suit.
I caught up with him during the game to ask a few questions:
Semyon Varlamov's alleged victim: 'He has a problem with alcohol', wants 2 years in jail
Dmitry Chesnokov at Puck Daddy1 mth agoSemyon Varlamov continues to get support back in Russia. This banner from a CSK/VVS Samara game – the team is from Varlamov's hometown – reads, "the truth is for Varlamov!"
Evgeniya Vavrinyuk, the alleged victim of domestic violence that led to the arrest of the Colorado Avalanche goalie, gave a Skype interview with Life News on Wednesday. Some highlights:
• She is very anxious, takes medication to calm down. Overall, she's a little bit confused.
• Asked to show bruises and cuts: [turns to her attorney and his wife (who originally translated the Denver Post interview)] "My attorney tells me not to do it, because the police has all the pictures."
• Why did this happen?
[Sign up for Yahoo Sports Fantasy Hockey and keep tabs on your favorite players]
"He has a problem with alcohol. I'm not saying he drinks often, but when he has a day off, he drinks a lot. And when he drinks too much, he becomes aggressive and something goes wrong with his head." [at 1:37]
Teemu Selanne to the KHL?
Dmitry Chesnokov at Puck Daddy1 mth agoThe Kontinental Hockey League made news recently when it announced Jokerit from Finland would join its ranks beginning in the 2014-15 season.
It is the first franchise outside of the former eastern bloc to play in the KHL, and one that has produced many NHL players – including the legendary Teemu Selanne, who started his career there in 1988 before joining the Winnipeg Jets in 1992.
[It's not too late to play fantasy hockey on Yahoo Sports!]
Selanne has announced this is his final season in the NHL, and is on a farewell tour with the Anaheim Ducks. But there are some whispers now that Teemu Selanne will finish his hockey career with Jokerit in the KHL next season.
SovSport's Pavel Lysenkov reports that a renowned Finnish hockey statistician Tomas Rachunas said, "We estimate that the probability of Teemu Selanne playing for Jokerit in the KHL at 20-30 percent."
Semyon Varlamov's accuser speaks on social media; Russians concerned about Olympic gig
Dmitry Chesnokov at Puck Daddy1 mth agoThe victim of Semyon Varlamov's alleged domestic violence, for he was arrested and charged withsecond-degree kidnapping and third-degree assault, is a model from Samara, Varlamov's home town. Her name is Evgeniya Vavrinyuk.
Earlier on Thursday, she posted comments about the incident on V Kontakre Russian social media site (her account is now deleted), where she said:
"If a man raised his hand, he will do it again. And none of his persuasion and promises should dissuade women. Leave these men, and don't feel sorry for them! Giving men a last chance means to sign yourself a conviction for a repeat."

Disclosure: I work for the Sundance Channel, an AMC property.
On 1 July, Dish Network subscribers looking for the Sundance Channel, AMC, WE, IFC, and more had to look elsewhere—because an ongoing dispute between parent company AMC Networks and Dish ultimately ended in a contract expiration at midnight on 30 June. The bitter and very public feud dragged on until the last possible moment, but Dish stuck to its position, refusing to renew the contact and continue carrying AMC's offerings. The two have radically different explanations for the dispute, and both highlight emerging issues in a new media landscape.

For those who are not familiar with the Academy Program, it is one that focuses on developing the basic techniques and skills needed in the game of soccer. Majority of time is spent with one player and one ball, allowing maximum touches and time on the soccer ball. It is an environment that is centered around player development, and focuses on getting each player comfortable and confident with the soccer ball in all facets of the game. The players will train and play on selected Fridays and Sundays.
If you have any questions, please email the Academy Director, Keion Yearwood at email@example.com

Academy philosophy is playing to learn while minimizing the pressure of playing to win.
The Academy program is an intermediate step to full sided select soccer which starts at the U13 year. All RYSA Academy coaches are licensed and experienced in preparing players of this age for the next step of select soccer. Training activities are devised to help each player improve technically (skills), tactically (as a member of a team), physically (coordination & fitness) and psychologically (mental development). The Academy focuses on the complete development of each player and education of the parent on the philosophies of developmental soccer.

Depending on who you ask, charter schools are either a scourge upon public education, or they are the system's only hope. A national, nonprofit network of charter schools calling itself Lighthouse Academies falls squarely in the latter camp.
And now they've come to Tulsa.
Tulsa Lighthouse Charter School (TLCS) opened its doors in a grand opening ceremony last week at its new campus, the former Greeley Elementary School. One of the best things the school has going for it, according to Lighthouse Academies Regional Vice President David Burks, is that it is the 21st school Lighthouse Academies has opened.
"Tulsa doesn't necessarily have a long history with charter schools," he said. "But we're unique in that we're a national organization, so we can provide some sustainability and be able to say that we have had success in other schools."
And truly, they have. Lighthouse opened its first school in the Bronx in 2004. It focuses on the one element that makes Lighthouse Academies' schools different from all the other privately-run charter schools dotting the educational landscape nationwide: arts-infusion, which Burks called the linchpin of Lighthouse programs.
"We came across research that was a longitudinal study of kids in Los Angeles," he said.
That study showed something very interesting about kids exposed to the arts in education, and it wasn't just test scores or being able to identify a Chopin nocturne just by listening.
"Kids that were in classes where there was exposure to arts were more likely to go to college and have successful careers," Burks said. Almost as an afterthought, he added the very interesting element.
"Additionally, they were more community-minded," he said. "They were much more likely to come back to their communities, and they were more likely to give back."
Those data were enough to launch an educational model, and one that has avoided the scandals that have plagued for-profit charter school organizations like Imagine, Inc., which was discovered in 2010 to be overpaying itself very high rental rates with state funds, and also producing students in the Imagine school in St. Louis who performed lower on standardized tests than students from any other school in the city.
The difference, according to Burks, is the arts.
"That was one of the things that would make Lighthouse special -- that we'd have arts-infusion," he said. "We approach things differently."
When pressed about this difference, Burks elucidated on a level of cross-curricular instruction that Oklahoma public schools have heretofore only dreamed of.
"We might have music in math class. Like we talk about fractions, and we bring in music," Burks continued. "We talk about quarter notes and half notes. Well, when the kids are tapping it out, they can hear and feel the difference in fractions."
Any musician already knows this. But to put this into the hands of little kids is pretty freaking cool. And it goes on from there to include very non-traditional means of measuring progress in the classroom.
"A lot of kids don't necessarily need a pen and paper to show you that they've got it," he said. "Maybe they could write a song or do an interpretive dance to show that they've got the material down."
Surely there are people reading this right now and saying to themselves, "What the hell? I had to fill in all those little bubbles with a number two pencil, but these kids get to do a dance?"
However, even the most cynical of those critical of educational fads and movements must admit that times are violently different. Many schools are failing to serve their students, many schools have proven themselves incapable of adapting to the 21st century, many schools have completely failed to incorporate any sort of technological or educational innovations this side of the 1970s.
None of those things apply to Lighthouse Academies, however. Burks gave a short history lesson.
"Our first school opened in 2004 in the Bronx," he said. "It's still going strong, and it's the same model we are using here in Tulsa. I think that's important, because it allows us to know that if we bring something to a new area, it works."
Again, there will be those who say that the Bronx has issues that Tulsa does not, and vice versa.
"Obviously, Tulsa is different from DC or Chicago, but there are basics," Burks countered. "We can show that charter schools work. This program works, and we can show proven results. That's also good, too, because we have a way to support each other. I can call a school in Chicago and ask, 'How did you guys solve this problem or that problem?' We can work together to help each other."
One might ask a rather obvious question: If this is arts-infused education, do all the teachers have to be artists? Where are you going to find enough teachers to fill a building who are, say, experts in teaching social studies and have working (if not complete) knowledge of one of the fine arts?
"The only prerequisites we have for our teachers are that they believe kids can excel, and that arts-infusion is a great way to help students excel," Burks said. "We have an arts teacher and a music teacher, and they work with the teachers to keep the students engaged. Art comes in so many different forms. It's something that should be individual and reflective of what teachers' individual tastes are."
This begs another question, one that opens up the possibility of some fascinating long-term consequences: If Ms. Jones is interested in music, and Ms. Smith is interested in visual arts, and they both teach fourth grade, won't students in one class have vastly different educational experiences than those in the other class?
Yes and no, according to Burks.
"Across grade levels, the teachers talk about curriculum, but we have a wide variety of teaching experience," he said. "Some teachers are new and have been doing it for five years. There are those that have been doing it for 25 years, and that's a big difference. Some of those younger teachers are going to like the Backstreet Boys."
Since Lighthouse Academies encourages the teachers to use what they know and like, the teacher who is one year away from retirement probably doesn't like the Backstreet Boys, opening up the possibility for the aforementioned vast difference in classroom experiences from room to room and teacher to teacher.
But Burks said there is an overarching model that keeps everyone essentially on the same page.
"Overall, the way we respond to students is consistent across the school, but we want teachers to own it," he said. "So if they're more comfortable using, say, visual arts rather than music, we definitely want them to do that."
TLCS currently serves students from pre-kindergarten through the fourth grade. Each year, beginning with the 2013-2014 school year, the school will add a grade, with the eventual goal of being a pre-k through 12th grade facility.
And little old Greeley won't work for very long when that starts happening.
"We'll have to expand, because we don't have the labs and things we'd need to have in order to have a successful high school program," Burks said. "Right now, we're trying to get through the first week. The plan is to get through the next couple of years and see what we need to do from there."
Currently housing 19 teachers and serving 280 students -- most of them underprivileged -- TLCS holds up its recent avalanche of applications as a testament to the need Tulsa has for what they can bring to the community.

Patriots quarterback Tom Brady has agreed to a contract extension that will keep him with the team through the 2017 season, or when he's 40 years old, according to a report. Brady's deal almost assures he'll retire a Patriot, according to Sports Illustrated's Peter King, and will save the Patriots more than $27 million over the next two seasons. The contract, King reports, will pay him less money over time but allows the Patriots greater flexibility.

Breath tests administered the night Tacoma City Councilman Ryan Mello was arrested on suspicion of drunken driving recorded blood-alcohol levels of 0.088 and 0.09, according to a Washington State Patrol report.
The report was released by state Department of Licensing on Tuesday in response to a request from The News Tribune.
A patrol spokesman previously said Mello's blood-alcohol level exceeded the legal limit for drivers of 0.08 when he was pulled over early Jan. 20, but did not release the exact reading.
According to the report, the silver-colored 2012 Hyundai Sonata driven by Mello caught a state trooper's attention when it made a series of lane changes on northbound Interstate 5 near the exit to Interstate 705.
The driver — after changing lanes to the right, left and right again — activated the car's left blinker a fourth time without changing lanes. The trooper said he later saw the car cross the right-hand fog line twice on the curves of the exit ramp.
Mello acknowledged drinking, telling the trooper that he'd had a rum and Coke and a glass of wine, according to the report.
Kitsap County prosecutors have yet to make a charging decision; they are handling the case at the request of Pierce County Prosecutor Mark Lindquist because Lindquist and Mello are friends.
The day after his arrest, Mello told The News Tribune in a short email, "I made a mistake and I'm sorry."
Mello said Tuesday that he had "no further comment at this time."

Well, Ummm, Maybe Not
Two wins and already you can feel the impetus for change fading.
This is, after all, the Maple Leafs. They don't want to win, not really, but at the same time, they'd rather not have the entire city hating them.
Something in between, the mushy middle, is what has made MLSE what it is today.
So if this thing gets to a comfy .500 level over the next two weeks, not impossible, then you can expect more nothing.
No second coming of Cliff Fletcher. More JFJ at the helm with the executioner's axe pulled back to, oh, about an inch from his neck.
Which means opportunity may once more be ignored. Which means the opportunity to draft high this summer may go out the window if the club can manage to finish, oh, 10th or 11th, certainly possible if the decision is made not to have a fire sale before the trade deadline.
Hey, knowing this hockey organization, it might TRADE AWAY its first round pick to another team in order to pick up some veteran and take a last minute run at eighth in the east.
Leaf fans, I think, are coming to understand this. They know the best chance for change and real improvement lies in this season going right down the tubes.
If that doesn't happen, well, the mandarins of MLSE can say, "Well, ummm, maybe we don't have to change a thing. And the fans sure are cheering loud again, aren't they?"
The dynamic is the same, and every win this team picks up over the next few months takes it further away from ever ending its Stanley Cup drought.

Heat transfer by conduction
The Conductive Heat Transfer block represents a heat transfer by conduction between two layers of the same material. The transfer is governed by the Fourier law and is described with the following equation:
Q | Heat flow |
k | Material thermal conductivity |
A | Area normal to the heat flow direction |
D | Distance between layers |
TA,TB | Temperatures of the layers |
Connections A and B are thermal conserving ports associated with material layers. The block positive direction is from port A to port B. This means that the heat flow is positive if it flows from A to B.

As a follow-up to last week's blog post with a photo of Agua Azul la Villa, a tropical B&B in Mexico, we are interviewing the innkeepers, Richard and Brooke Gazer. The inn is located in Huatulco, a peaceful oceanside town completely untouched by violence. Each guest enjoys the privacy of their own terrace with ocean views. Read on to learn through Brooke's words why they love being innkeepers, what there is to do in Huatulco, and how safe their town is.
1. What do you enjoy most about being an innkeeper?Both Rick and I have traveled a lot, and one of the things we enjoyed most was the interesting people we met along the way, not just locals but fellow travelers. Being innkeepers, we get to meet people from all over the world without leaving home. We have had guests from over 25 different countries and from all walks of life. Literally everyone brings something new or interesting to our breakfast table.
2. How long have you been an innkeeper?We opened Agua Azul la Villa with six guestrooms in January of 2001. In preparation for having a bed and breakfast in Mexico, we ran a two-guestroom B&B in our home in Calgary, Alberta for three years. I continued to work full-time while Rick wound down his business and looked after the B&B.
3. What was your inspiration for your creating your inn? Did you have a certain vision for it?
When we purchased the property, we wanted to create a place that said tropical and be able to offer everyone a degree of privacy in addition to common areas where guests could mingle. We also believed that people come here to be outdoors, so we wanted each room to have its own outdoor area where a couple could be by themselves. We found a property with a sharp drop-off from the front pavement with a wonderful view. This allowed us to build a villa with each room on its own level so that there is both a psychological and a physical division of space between the guestrooms. It also permitted us the opportunity to provide a large oceanview terraza in front of each guestroom.
4. Why did you choose this city?We wanted to live in a tropical destination. We had visited Mexico several times and always enjoyed the local people. Mexican people are among the friendliest, most hospitable we have met, and we have traveled extensively. We narrowed our search to the Pacific coast of Mexico and spent five months investigating every beach area between San Carlos Senora and Huatulco, Oaxaca. Huatulco won hands down over any other place we visited.
5. What makes your town worth visiting—are there any interesting local attractions or activities?Huatulco is Mexico´s premier eco-resort. The following are some of what makes Huatulco so special for us:• Nine bays with 36 pristine beaches nestled between craggy cliffs…some are excellent for snorkeling, some are have restaurants under palapa (palm thatch) and several are undeveloped. • There is a national park that protects several of the bays, and the beaches within the park can only be reached by boat. It is possible to have one of these secluded beaches all to yourself for an afternoon.• There is a newly opened archeological park that has uncovered ancient ruins dating back over 2300 years.• This is a great area for birding. Over 80% of the birds of Mexico migrate through Huatulco, and we have had guests who were avid birdwatchers add to their life-long list without leaving their terraza. • About 40 minutes north of Huatulco is a turtle sanctuary and museum founded to protect several species of turtles that were facing extinction. Turtles lay their eggs in various beaches surrounding Huatulco, and volunteers help to harvest these eggs and bring them to the sanctuary where the chance of survival is greatly enhanced. The hatching and releasing of various species occurs between June and January.• This is where the Sierra Madre Del Sur meet the Pacific ocean. An hour or so into the mountains offers a totally different eco-system, and there are several tours into these areas, some of which combine a walk through the forest with a swim under a waterfall.• If you want to combine a rich cultural experience with a relaxing beach vacation, AroeTucan offers 30-minute commuter flights daily between Huatulco and Oaxaca City.
6. Many travelers have concerns about visiting Mexico. Can you dispel some of the myths about safety in your area?It is true that Mexico has some very serious issue regarding the drug cartels. However, the problem is not nearly as wide-ranging as the media would lead you to believe. First of all, most of the violence associated with the drug cartels is situated around the border. There are a few other areas where there have been outbreaks of violence, and Acapulco is the nearest one to Huatulco. Acapulco is in the state of Gerrero, while Huatulco is in the State of Oaxaca. The two areas are separated by an 8-10 hour drive through the mountains, along a narrow winding road littered with speed bumps. Huatulco has not experienced the kind of problems that the media loves to report. I feel safe walking Tango, my 15-month-old Golden Retriever, anywhere in Huatulco, even late at night. We rarely lock our car doors because the crime rate here is so low. I believe that Huatulco is safer than most small towns anywhere in North America, and to avoid coming here is like not traveling to Portland, Oregon because there were riots in Los Angeles.
7. Do you have any special offers coming up?We offer the entire villa for rent between May and November for $600 USD/night. It sleeps up to 12 people, and we provide a cook.
Need a tropical getaway? This is the street view of Agua Azul la Villa, a B&B in Huatulco, Mexico that overlooks the Pacific Ocean. The inn is located in a nice residential area and utilizes natural materials such as wood, rock, clay and palm thatch (palapa). All of the six guest rooms are on their own levels and have private terraces overlooking the ocean. The B&B has a two-tier pool surrounded by gardens and is the perfect place to unwind. Agua Azul la Villa is a short walk to a sandy, safe swimming beach and a short, inexpensive cab ride to restaurants and shopping.

Hey Brandon,
Good show this week. You seemed to indicate that you thought that "best of" programming would only be available on new radios. Correct me if I'm wrong.
I thought that "best of" will be available to all existing subs, and that the new radios are for "a la carte" programming (6.99 plans). They are just deciding how to make room. Stern and some others (hopefully at least some NFL) will be available to xm subs as premium content for $4.
They need to do this before a la carte radios come out in order to get as many people as possible to subscribe for $17 a month instead of $6.99.
If I'm wrong, I'm a little concerned about the short term.

PROFILE of Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia… Writer tells about waiting in line to see Scalia speak at the University of Michigan Law School. Liberal students were nursing a grudge over Scalia's snappish minority opinion in Grutter v. Bollinger in which the Court upheld an affirmative-action program at Michigan Law School… Mockery does not seem to bother Scalia; his certainty runs so deep that he views detractors with mild amusement. Discusses Scalia's "originalism," that is, his belief that judges should adhere to the precise words of the Constitution and the belief that the meaning of those words was locked into place when they were written… This philosophy goes against that of Justice William Brennan and others who believed that the Constitution is adaptable. Scalia believes this approach leads to the "discovery" of "bogus" new rights such as the right to privacy. Discusses Robert Bork's role in developing originalist ideas… Tells about Scalia's childhood in Trenton, New Jersey and Elmhurst Queens. His father, Eugene, was a professor at Brooklyn College and a believer in the principles of the New Criticism. Writer compares the New Criticism to Scalia's originalism…Scalia attended Xavier High School, Georgetown University and Harvard Law School. Tells about his legal vareer prior to joining the Justice Department's Office of Legal Counsel. On his first day he was given the task of determining who owned Nixon's tapes and papers-the American public or Nixon. Scalia continued to move between government and the academy. Tells about his attacks on government regulations which drew the interest of the Reagan Administration who were attempting to recast the judiciary branch by picking the universities clean of young, conservative legal academics. Their goal was to undo the work of the Warren Court. In 1986, Scalia was nominated to the Court… On the Court, Scalia has turned out not to be a consensus-builder. He disparages compromises and balancing tests and incremental solutions. His interactions with lawyers are notoriously aggressive. Discusses how Scalia has changed the way the Justices interact with the lawyers presenting cases… Tells about Scalia's style of writing, particularly in his opinions on abortion cases. Discusses his views on gay rights and religion. In Scalia's view, we shouldn't strive for an ideal society, but rather, make do with this one. Discusses his relationships with other justices, in particular, his friendships with Clarence Thomas and Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Scalia is an advocate for the mingling of government and religion. Some of Scalia's many critics like to hunt for his inconsistencies. On this score, Bush v. Gore is a clear embarrassment for him. His all-over voting record, however is remarkably free of contradiction… Discusses the possibility that he might be chosen to succeed Rehnquist as Chief Justice.

The Loyola MAROON Volume 71 No. 12 Loyola University New Orleans, Louisiana 70118 November 20,1992 Down for the count—Celebration wXs In order as the Wolfpack defeated LeToumeau University, 87-85, bringing the basketball team Its first victory In 21 years./ See story, page 7 Book exchange approved by SGA By Chris Bonura Staff writer On Tuesday, the Student Government Association reaffirmed its decision earlier this semester to implement a book exchange program for Spring 1993 and approved a threepage proposal that outlines the practical aspects of the book exchange. Until Tuesday' s meeting, the SG A was considering two plans for implementing the book exchange—one in which SGA would actually collect the books, and one in which the SGA would publish and distribute a list of names and phone numbers of those who want to sell books. The plan that the SGA will pursue was compiled by the book exchange committee, headed by Katy Montgomery, Arts and Science representative andpolitical science freshman. It transforms the SGA storage room, located in the Danna Center behind the SGA office, into a used textbook trading post for five days at the beginning of the semester. During exam week, each SGA member will be required to spend a half-hour in the SGA office collecting books and another half-hour to help with sales. Students who wish to sell books will drop them off at the SGA office and fill out a form, indicating how much money they are asking for the book. To buy books, students will enter through the office, drop off their belongings, find the books they need in the storage area, and pay for their selections. The receipts will then be verified by an SGA member in the office. The next day, the SGA secretary will arrange for students whose books were sold lo collect their money. SGA will charge a 10 percent service charge on all books to offset the expense of forms, publicity, anv losses to theft, and, if there is a surplus, SGA will keep the profits. Vice president Erika Schwarz, communications senior, discussed the plan's advantages. She said it would give students an opportunity to observe the condition of the books they are buying and provide an opportunity for the student body to see their representatives in action. John Hernandez, law president and second year law student, questioned whether the executive staff would be ible to get members to devote the planned hour, and he claimed that a few people would get stuck with all the work. In response to Hernandez's objections, Elia Diaz, law representative and second year law student, asked to see a show of hands of who would volunteer time. An overwhelming majority raised their hands. Casey Stowe, business representative and business junior, pointed out that if the resolution was tabled, SGA would not get around to it until either next semester or next year. SGA secretary Suzanne Bennett, psychology senior, asked the congress to consider the publication proposal, in which the names and phone numbers of students who want to sell their books would be postedfor a fee of a quarter per book. Bennett said that this plan is "efficient, and it wouldn't cost a lot." She claimed that the publication plan would be easier on the staff. Jerry Collins, SGA Arts and Science president and communications senior, said Bennett, a non-voting, paid SGA employee, did not have the authority to sponsor a resolution. Teacher evaluations roadblocked by bickering ■y Charles Lussler Managing Editor The College Assembly of Arts & Sciences argued back and forth Tuesday about the merits and liabilities of a new proposal submitted by the Dean's Student Advisory Council (DSAC) which calls for the return of student evaluations of faculty. The college as a whole presently has no system of student evaluations owing to a budget cut several years ago which slashed funding used to purchase the actual forms, which were supplied by an outside vendor at a high cost. The proposal which has been on Assembly agenda since last May and was discussed briefly at the October meeting, received its first substantial criticism, occupying almost all of the hour-plus meeting's discussion. The meeting, attended by approximately 67 faculty and students, was marked by student/faculty bickering, and a proposal that appeared to need much more work than DSAC anticipated.The proposal, which is separated into five parts and was passed by DSAC May 5, is much different than the previous evaluation form. Its main points: •Subjective questions aimed at giving the school more specific information on individual professors and classes, rather than just the general results of objective forms will be added to the normal list of objective questions. Individual departments will draw up the subjective questions.•The questions themselves will be determined by the Excellence in Teaching Award Committee, which will most likely, according to DSAC members, employ the opinion of faculty experts from various departments in formulating questions. The committee will also tabulate the results of the objective section, and the subjective section will be interpreted by the professor in question and the chairperson of that department. •The proposal calls for the evaluations to be administered within the last two weeks of school and for teachers to be out of the classroom during evaluations. •It requests that these evaluations be used for the "process of retention, promotion, salary negotiations and tenure." •It requests the setting up of a database to inform students of every class in the school's "attendance policy, number and length of papers, number and format of tests, class format, etc. and should be made available through campus computer labs." The policy, however, does stop See DSAC/page 4 Inside this week... Drying out See page 11

I'm thinking Cordle, but really it's a toss-up from the fan's perspective, since we haven't seen much of either in action since the preseason...
2014 Giants Mock (Extra 3rd from Nicks FA comp)
1. Khalil Mack, DE/LB, Buffalo
2. Zach Martin, G/C, Notre Dame
3. Donte Moncrief, WR, Ole Miss
3. Louchiez Purifoy, CB, Florida
4. Dominique Easley, DT, Florida
5. Marcel Jensen, TE, Fresno State
6. Jeremy Hill, RB, LSU
While Weeden and Richardson are only rookies, i understand that, still they arent exactly lighting it up.
TR has a 3.5 ypc and 55 ypg.
Weeden is a little over 50% completion 7 picks and 3 TDs with a rating of about 60.
If the Giants dont win this game thery have serious issues....
"Measure Twice......Cut Once"
You couldn't be more full of **** if you were break dancing in a Port-a-Potty.......Kruunch
You have to wonder, they could just swap Baas and Boothe then slide Diehl in if Snee can't go....

A couple mins after that I will see redspots in my vision. Usually when I see redspots it indicates a CP, and half my body will start to shake. Im completely conscience, and I usually can talk during a CP. These episodes will last from 3 to 15 minutes.

As well, I take klonopin, and no meds is a trigger.

Just trying a new finishing style..C & C Please...
Just trying a new finishing style..C & C Please...
Just go to the site you know you want to malacai.net
My only crit would be that he looks to have the face of a 12 or 13 year old kid, otherwise good work!
Your anatomy is off. His chest is a bit large and his midsection is coming across as small. The muscles on his forward leg are off. the perspective on his back leg is weird. It doesn't look like its receding into perspective.
Perspective can be tricky to get the hang of. The left arm looks to be too short rather than in perspective and I agree with RavioliDog on the legs. Nice style tho, I like the line work
Hey Malacai, I would suggest taking a look at cross hatching techniques. Right now the way you have cross hatching is not achieving the fade that cross hatching is supposed to be used for. (ie it is not doing anything in terms of lighting). Cross hatching is tough to pull off and tedious work. However when applied correctly can really make an image pop. Stephan Platt and Dale Keown were great at it (although you may not necesarily like their anatomy or artwork, they had mastery over cross hatching techniques.)

Retired cop Earl Bedford is living the good life with his wife, Jalina, getting fat and rich robbing banks. But after their last job goes south, they hang up their masks. Unfortunately, a terrorist group calling itself the Right Hand of God has contaminated food supplies all over the country with something resembling rabies. Now, Earl and Jalina have to deal with the crazy federal agent on their tail (T.S.N. – don't ask him what it stands for. That makes him mad.) and it's the end of the world, apparently. But Earl just wants to go someplace warm, not battle his zombie-fied neighbors. ____________________________
My heart was trying to climb out of my throat until he spoke, then my breathing slowed and I felt calm wash over me. I raised my hands slowly.
"Forty seven banks," the cop continued. "That's how many you robbed, ain't it? And I got you." "Your lucky day," I said.
"Oh, I got lucky. The Black Ghost, that's what they call you in the papers. You're like the James Gang, or something. You're supposed to be the best." The cop spit. "More like the Bad News Bears." "Ain't the best," I said. "Or you wouldn't know how many I hit." The cop nodded. "You changed it up, didn't you?" I asked, trying to keep him talking. "Broke routine." The cop nodded again. "We figured you might hit this area, so we set up a little surprise for you. Started varying our patrols, keeping an eye on the branches. I knew you were going to hit this one. I knew it in my bones." "That was smart," I said. There was a noise behind me, and the cop's eyes twitched to the upside down heap. That's when I hit him with a shoulder to the chest, knocking him back against the car. He didn't drop the gun, though, and I grappled with him to get it for a long moment. The bruises in my side screamed at me to stop, but I ignored that and kept pushing until my feet came out from under me and I slipped on the gravel with a sickening lurch. The cop flipped me and slammed me to the ground. He aimed the gun at me and there was a shot.

Jinx and Her Werewolf
Marisa Chenery
larger image
As a jinx, Thora has had to move around a lot. When her car breaks down, stranding her in Aurora, she figures the town is as good a place as any to stay for a while. After meeting Daker, he's just one more reason for her not to leave.
A werewolf, Daker knows Thora is his mate, but her being a mortal just adds one more reason to take things slow with her. It'll be hard enough to get her to accept what he is.
After Daker claims Thora as his mate, she knows they can never be, not with her curse hanging over her head. She may be cursed to be a jinx for the rest of her life, but she's also destined to kill the man she gives her heart to. Not wanting to be the cause of Daker's death, she has to fight her feelings for him or watch the man she loves die.
Publisher's Note: This was previously published.
Show Excerpt
After getting out of her year-old blue Chevy Cobalt coupe that was now dead as a doornail, Thora shut the driver's door and looked around. The sun was slowly sinking below the horizon. Her car sat on the side of the road on a street just off Main Street in a small town called Aurora. She hadn't intentionally come to Aurora, she just happened across it. When things got really bad, which they invariably did, she would pack up her car and just drive until she found a new place to live. A place where nobody knew her. At the moment, Aurora, Tennessee, looked to be as good a place as any.
With a sigh, Thora opened the car door and popped the hood. She made her way to the front of the car and lifted it to look at the engine, not that she knew anything about fixing cars. She poked at the sparkplugs, having no real idea what had caused her vehicle to suddenly stop. Thora leaned in farther under the hood and peered at one of the belts.
"Do you need some help?"
The sound of the deep, masculine voice that came from behind her caused Thora to jump. She cursed while she reared back and cracked her head on the raised hood. Slowly backing up, she said, "Damn it, that hurt. Didn't anyone ever tell you not to sneak up on a person like that?"
Rubbing her head, Thora turned to see who stood at her back. Her hand stilled as she looked up at the lightest green eyes she'd ever seen on a person. They reminded her of two pieces of jade. Her gaze skimmed over the face that came with them. And what a face it was. The man had one that would put a male model to shame.
Unable to tear her gaze away, Thora took in his straight nose, chiseled cheekbones and square jaw. His lips were firm and made her wonder what they would feel like pressed to hers. His straight hair brushed the tops of his shoulders, and seemed to be a mix of blond and brown. Her fingers itched to run through it to see if it felt soft as it looked. She licked her lips, taking in the rest of him. He was built. She had to give him that. The tight black jeans and gray t-shirt he wore showed off the large muscles on his arms, chest and legs to perfection. He towered over her, and she was not short by any means at five-foot-seven. She guessed him to be about six-foot-six.
He stepped closer, breaking the spell she seemed to have fallen under. "Sorry, I didn't mean to sneak up on you. Are you okay?"
Thora dropped her hand to her side and nodded. She cleared her throat before she spoke. "I'm fine. I just bumped my head. I've had worse." She'd lost count of the number of times she'd had to go to a hospital's ER to be patched up because of one of her "accidents."
He glanced over at her car. "Having car trouble?"
"Yeah." Thora forced herself to turn and look at her car. "It just stopped and I can't get it started again."
He brushed past her and stuck his head under the hood. As he bent slightly forward to get a closer look at the engine, Thora bit back a silent moan as she watched the material of his jeans pull tighter across his hard, muscled ass. She bet she could bounce a quarter off it. There didn't seem to be an inch of fat anywhere on him.
Lost in a fantasy of him stretched out across the hood of her car while she licked every inch of him, Thora jerked back to reality when she heard a loud popping sound. She moved around to stand next to the hunky man of her fantasies in time to see a fountain of oil suddenly shoot out of her engine and hit him smack in the face.
Knowing she had to be the one who'd caused it, she automatically apologized. "I'm so sorry." She took a step back as he pulled his head out from under the hood, and using his palm, tried to wipe off the car oil that dripped down his face.
He shook his head. "Don't apologize. That wasn't your fault." He swiped at his face again. "Though I have to say I've never had a car do that to me before."
Thora gave him a sheepish grin. "Let's just say, around me, lots of weird and unusual things happen."
"Well, it looks as if you won't be going anywhere tonight. The local garage will be closed by now. You'll have to wait to call them in the morning. Do you have a place to stay?"
"No. I only planned on passing through." Thora stared at him. Her gaze collided with his. She had to swallow at the look of longing in his light green eyes. While she watched, they seemed to glow for a split second before he looked down at her lips. An ache built in her pussy and wetness pooled between her legs. His nostrils flared as he drew in a deep breath. With just one look, he brought her to full arousal.
He took a step closer as his gaze flicked down to her pebbled nipples. Her peach-colored short-sleeved blouse did nothing to hide their condition before he looked back up at her face.
"I would offer to have you over for the night since I just live over there," he pointed to the modest bungalow directly in front of them, "but I don't think that would be a good idea. I'm Daker Sands, by the way."
Daker's voice had become deeper and huskier as he spoke. Hearing it caused the flames of her desire to burn even hotter. "I'm Thora Pomeroy," she replied in a breathy voice. She cleared her throat before she continued, not wanting him to know how turned-on she'd become. "If you point me to a place where I can stay the night, I'll arrange something for myself."
With his clean hand, Daker reached out and took hold of a lock of her black, waist-length hair and brought it to his nose for a sniff. Thora felt as if she would melt into the asphalt right then and there.
