Amid the post-war boom of Hollywood's Golden Age, Cole Phelps, an LAPD detective is thrown headfirst into a city drowning in its own success.
Corruption is rampant, the drug trade is exploding, and murder rates are at an all-time high. In his fight to climb the ranks and do what's right, Phelps must unravel the truth behind a string of arson attacks, racketeering conspiracies and brutal murders, battling the L.A. underworld and even members of his own department to uncover a secret that could shake the city to its rotten core.
Using groundbreaking new animation technology that captures every nuance of an actor's facial performance in astonishing detail, L.A. Noire is a violent crime thriller that blends breathtaking action with true detective work to deliver an unprecedented interactive experience.
Search for clues, chase down suspects and interrogate witnesses as you struggle to find the truth in a city where everyone has something to hide.

Seriously, read some posts from this game or others. Admin also put up a tutorial somewhere. Try figuring it out for yourself instead of begging for help. If you can ifigure out how to play one cracked game you can figure out how toplay 95% of them.
is the game working ok ? I have slow internet if there any problems please anybody tell me
I placed the update in the game folder and tried to run it, but it didn't do anything. I then just tried to place the crack and un the game but that did nothing either. Am I forgetting something?
Thx for the game. Will see if this can be fun like GTA.
Actually after posting I think I realized what "installed to path containing spaces" meant . Instead of "Program Files (x86)/Rockstar Games/ LA Noire", I did ProgramFiles(x86)/RockstarGames/LANoire". So far so good.
Is this a clone dvd or repack?
thx ! == Bralizian Gamers ==

Internet Addiction
|Related Pages
I am totally and completely addicted to the internet. I quit a job to be a writer and have gotten little to nothing done in 2 years because I cannot stop surfing the web. When I have had jobs, I have had problems because I cannot stop myself from using the internet. I have no idea what to do about it b/c it isn't like an alchoholic in that you can stop drinking. Computers are everywhere and necessary. Any treatment suggestions would be great. anon
We are having a problem with Internet addiction. I find myself frustrated with my husband because I see him get on the computer so frequently. He often wants to just ''check his email'' or browse the web. Once the kids are down, he goes to the computer. I recognize that I too feel the pull to check my mail or 'quickly look something up', it is so convenient after all. My husband says it's no different from reading the paper or watching TV, but I just hate the idea that we're becoming 'screen people' and I also don't like modeling that for the children. Have others dealt with this? Part of me wants to move the computer to the office (it's now in the kitchen which makes it very accessible), but then when the kids are on it (which is actually very rarely but I think will likely increase as they grow) I won't be able to see what they're doing as easily. Thanks for any tips on this. anon
Finally my mom said something when she was visiting that I was always ''checking email'' and it hit me - I WAS always checking email and often surfing for no reason in particular. I started to take steps immediately once I realized what I was doing. Now I check email or get online during certain times of the day and I try to set a limit as to how long I will be on. I turn off the computer when I am done so I'm not tempted to pop over to see if anything new has happened. I do not turn on the computer after dinner and limit what I do online over the weekend (i.e. computer stays off on Sundays for example).
Setting myself these ''strict rules'' has really worked, especially turning the computer off when I am finished. Now I spend much less time online and have become more efficient when I am online. I now know that I wasted a lot of time and I'm happy to be doing other things! Good luck! Former Addict
My husband (in his late 30s) seems to be depressed when he is away from his on-line game. I don't know if his situation is severe enough to be called an addiction but he has transformed into a very different person. He doesn't seem comfortable in real life social gathering anymore. If I somehow get him to meet with friends and/or family, he seems out of place. In addition to his social skills slowly deteriorating, his personal appearance is also being neglected. I can hardly get him to shave or get a hair cut. Am I dealing with this alone? If this is an addiction, how do I help him face his problem? Is there help out there? anon
And I also want to tell you that you are not alone. My husband plays computer games every day. It can sometimes be for an hour or up to 4 hours or more. On some weekend nights, he likes to stay up late drinking beer and playing. Occassionally it becomes drinking, smoking pot, & playing until very late. I wonder if he is addicted too. I think he has turned to it when he's been down, but also just enjoys it. Is it addiction? Where does one draw lines? He's happy and he will put it away if I ask him to do it. He drinks a couple of beers every night when he plays, but I don't know if something should be done about it or not. So, it was re-assuring to read your letter and I look forward to the responses from others as well. I have some thinking I need to do about this too. Good luck. Anon also

The military shooter Spec Ops: The Line, developed by Yager Entertainment and published by 2K Games, is available on the Steam digital distribution service from Valve until Thursday at 4 PM Pacific Standard Time.
The game is part of the Midweek Madness initiative and has been widely praised after it was launched for the way it implements first-person shooter mechanics and manages to introduce an interesting and nuanced story.
Spec Ops: The Line drops the player in the middle of Dubai on a rescue mission with two other Special Forces operatives but, as the game progresses, the player discovers that reality and morality might be more warped than at first sight.
Interested gamers can get Spec Ops: The Line for just 4.99 dollars or Euro, which represents a bargain for a game that nabbed a Best Surprise award in our own GOTY 2012 series.

Facebook's Graph Search tool is getting rolled out starting on Monday and will reach all users over the next few weeks.
The social network announced that after six months in beta testing, the Graph Search will be available to hundreds of millions of people over the next few weeks.
The beta for the Graph Search feature was launched in January, with a statement from Facebook's CEO mark Zuckerberg about its usefulness.
He said that while web search is designed to take any open-ended query and give you links that might prove to be useful, Graph Search takes a precise query and gives an answer rather than a list of links.
For instance, if you search for friends who like particular movie or type of music, you'll get specific names.

Designed for G Spot stimulation, the glass vibrator features a special curve and enlarged tip that makes it easy for even beginners to find and stimulate this elusive G Spot. G Spot stimulation is crucial for long-lasting orgasms as well as squirting. The sex toy's shaft is even covered with colorful ribs to stimulate you with every thrust as you search for the G Spot.
If you get tired looking for the G Spot, you can use the vibrator for temperature play. This unique option, mostly limited to only glass sex toys, allows you to raise or lower the temperature of the toy for additional stimulation. Just run hot water over the sex toy to heat it up – turning it into the ideal muscle massager and making it feel more natural during penetration. Or you could the glass vibrator in the freezer for a bit to chill it down, giving your lover a titillating and hair-raising experience when you tease them!
While the glass vibrator is designed for vaginal and G Spot stimulation, the rounded base lets you also enjoy anal penetration safely. Don't be surprised if you end up catching your significant other using your vibrator for prostate stimulation!
The bullet vibrator is completely removable. It slides easily inside the base of the glass shaft, transmitting vibrations up and down the length of the sex toy. The bullet features 10 vibration speeds and patterns, giving you plenty of options to try. The mini vibrator can also be used on its own to tease your clit or with other sex toys for more power.
The sex toy is handmade from glass, making each vibrator a special work of art. One of the best materials for sex toys, glass is completely hypoallergenic, firm for easy penetration and massages, and extremely durable. If treated with proper care, glass sex toys can easily last a lifetime.
The glass shaft measures 1 inch across at its widest point, and 7 inches long, with up to 6 inches insertable. The bullet vibrator uses 3 AAA batteries, sold separately, that fit inside the back of the controller.
Adam and Eve recommends the Icicles 10 Function G Spot Vibrator for G Spot stimulation during foreplay or masturbation.
The glass dildo and mini vibrator are compatible with Adam & Eve's water-based or silicone-based sex lubes. After using the glass sex toy, wash it thoroughly in warm, soapy water and rinse it clean. You can even boil the glass shaft or run it through the dishwasher. Once your glass vibrator dries off, store it in a cool, dark place with the rest of your sex toy collection.

A lot of people are becoming familiar with the name Beckley Mason because he is a man moving up in the world. His ability to see something and relate it intelligently to the reader is fast-moving him up in the world of digital media. Mason, founder and main contributor to the excellent blog Hoopspeak.com, is also a guest contributor on the ESPN TrueHoop website and has also started blogging at the Huffington Post on San Francisco and the bay area street safety. He's even found his way onto the pages of the New York Times.
Now I don't want to downplay the importance of Bay Area street safety and all but that is not why we wanted to talk to Beckley. What did draw our attention to Beckley were two articles he wrote for ESPN's TrueHoop Network. The first was titled "Time to Get the Grizzlies Offense Moving." The second about a week later followed up on the Grizzlies offensive woes "Memphis Grizzlies Need Space."
These articles were so detailed and so intelligent they made us stop texting pull over to the side of the road and pay attention.
That is a joke people. We don't support texting and driving and frankly get very irritated when and somewhat nervous when we see people on the phone in their cars but that is another issue altogether.
So as is our style, these days at least, we contacted Beckley to find out in a bit more detail what he was seeing in Memphis at that time and if anything has changed since the big trades.
And this is what he had to say…
3 Shades of Blue: In your article "Time to Get the Grizzlies Offense Moving" you open with a discussion of how the Grizzlies walk the ball up the court. Do you feel they do this to allow their big men, Zach Randolph and Marc Gasol, time to get themselves into position or is it something else?
Beckley Mason: I think that's definitely part of why the Grizzlies play at a slower pace than most teams, but I also think that if a team has to concede the first 8 seconds of the shot clock on a ton of possessions — no matter what the reason — it's a problem. I've been enjoying seeing Randolph hustle down court a bit more in the last few games to establish early position because when they can get him the ball in the first 10 seconds of the clock, he has more space to operate and the team has more time to exploit double teams.
3SOB: With the trade of Rudy Gay the Grizzlies have begun to show more offensive pace including 20 fast break points against Minnesota Sunday. To what do you attribute this increase? Is it a change of philosophy or merely a change in personnel?
BM: Someone told me that, in Memphis at least, Rudy Gay ran the floor like a guy jogging back through the parking lot because his wife left her purse in the car. The urgency just wasn't there. So even if Prince is a slower player, if he runs harder he can get up court quickly. But I don't think it's fair to pin it on Rudy, to me the whole team seems more committed to running the floor in recent games.
3SOB: In your opinion will the Grizzlies offense operate more smoothly with better jump shooters like Prince and Daye at the SF position than Rudy Gay?
BM: I do think the offense looks more crisp, and the ball seems a little less sticky and their assist rate has skyrocketed. But I don't think it's a simple substitution of personnel that deserves credit. More precisely, I think Gay is a good enough shooter to play in that role, but that the coaches and Gay were determined to give him opportunities that typically go to the offensive focal point. If you think of Rudy-Marc-Zach as Memphis's big 3, someone had to be the Chris Bosh in that equation. It seemed apparent that Rudy was the Bosh character, the guy who needed to sacrifice shots and his preferred style to make it all work.
Maybe he just wasn't comfortable with that, maybe the coaches weren't comfortable with that.
I don't know.
Certainly a player with a more complementary mindset could help. But to me, moving Rudy offered an opportunity to also re-imagine some elements of the offense — not just changing which player is in Rudy's spot, but where that spot is in the first place.
3SOB: How much of Memphis' offensive woes should be blamed on Zach Randolph's tendency to remain still and hold the ball rather than making cuts and keeping the ball moving?
BM: I think you can have one Randolph or one Rudy Gay, but you can't have two post players who like to hold the ball like that.
3SOB: In your second article, "Memphis Grizzlies Need More Space," you touch on the problem of two dominant big men clogging the lane and not allowing room for players to cut to the basket. Has that problem been addressed with the addition of better perimeter players or is it still a concern?
BM: You want those big boys down low where they can go get offensive rebounds. Gasol and Randolph can both deal from down there, too, so you don't want a situation where one or the other is caught floating on the perimeter. But I've noticed they've shifted things a bit and kept Gasol on the high post or even a little further out, and that seems to be making a positive difference. Gasol has a nice handle and has made some Dirk-esque drives, while his passing and shooting make him deadly when the ball swings through him.
As Gasol moves to the perimeter, they've snuck Tony Allen to the short corner opposite of Randolph when Randolph has the ball down low. I love this because, despite their size and nominal positions, Allen is such a good hustle player and Gasol is a more skilled perimeter player. Moving Gasol out gives Allen the opportunity to use the only space he really can on the offensive end — the immediate basket area.
3SOB: Rudy Gay is incredibly talented but prefers a more open game to the structured offense the Grizzlies coaches prefer.
BM: I'm not sure I agree that Memphis' offense was "structured" as much as it's "stationary." But you're right, Gay will play better in more space and at a higher tempo. He can get those things in Toronto in a way he couldn't in Memphis.
3SOB: Imagine you were a Memphis Front Office member, would you have made the trade to send Rudy Gay to Toronto strictly for basketball reasons?
BM: Wow! This is a really tough question. I think I would, though, because I don't think Memphis could maximize Rudy. So all that talent doesn't matter if he can only access 70% of it. Also, I love getting Ed Davis to eventually replace Randolph next to Gasol and a solid shooter in Prince.
The answer to your question also depends on what you consider "basketball reasons." Yes trading Rudy saves money, but it also increases flexibility, which will allow Memphis to improve on the court down to line. That's a basketball reason, too.
3SOB: With the team's trade exceptions factored in, do you believe the team should make another move and if so what type of player do they need?
BM: If Memphis can get a dead-eye shooter, they'll do it. Playing Bayless at the 2 with the starters has been a nice look in the interim.
3SOB: With 32 games remaining in the regular season, how do you rate Memphis' chances of hosting a playoff series? Do you believe this team can advance out of the 1st round?
BM: Another tough one! I'd put them at even odds with Denver and Golden State, which is a pretty good place to be. You'll have to ask me again after I've had more time to watch their new lineup combinations and to see whatever other adjustments they make … but if they get home court advantage, I'd probably favor them to get out of the first round.
Thank you Beckley for your time and insight. We look forward to reading any new insights you may have on the Grizzlies moving forward.

Within the Legal Research and Writing course, first year law students complete a variety of assignments such as: reading material from textbooks, cases and articles; exercises focusing on research, case selection, case usage; as well as producing drafts and final written products. Any item assigned by LRW faculty falls within one of two categories: skill building or skill assessment. As a general policy the LRW faculty encourages students to build their skills in a cooperatives environment. However, unless otherwise directed, students' progress is assessed on an individual basis. Therefore:
Students are encouraged to access all resources made available to them in order to become competent legal writers: LRW Faculty, Asst. Dir. Of Writing Services, Director of Academic Support, Teaching Assistants and the Director of the Legal Research and Writing Department.
In Legal Research and Writing, the following conduct is prohibited and may constitute cheating and/or a violation of the Saint Louis University School of Law Student Honor Code:

Embedded HTML5 Development
Manufacturers of embedded devices in many industries including automotive IVI, point-of-service kiosk, industrial automation, handheld terminals, smart phones, and mobile devices are developing with HTML5.There are several advantages to developing with HTML5 in embedded devices. HTML5 can provide end users the feature-rich experiences they seek. Because HML5 is flexible, it is easy to port HTML5 applications and User Interfaces (UIs) between different hardware, operating systems and software platforms. It is also easy to skin or customize these applications and UIs to create unique user experiences. Using HTML5 can also reduce product development and maintenance costs.However, development teams often do not have the background or skills in embedded HTML5 necessary to take full advantage of these benefits.
Bsquare partners with manufacturers to provide Embedded HTML5 Development Services that speed time-to-market with devices that delight users. Bsquare partners with device makers to design embedded HTML5 systems that deliver the experience and capabilities users expect and to do this on-time and on-budget.

What was it to be a 'Madrassi' in Delhi half a century ago
The south Indian journalist narrates that in 2004-5, U. R. Ananthamurthy advised him, "Stay bold, original and South Indian in a Delhi that we may not like. Truth will not get a standing ovation, it will get you harassments, pain and dejection, but one has to stay, put up, unmindful of the push backs."
The journalist recalls that Ananthamurthy told him to stand up to the patronizing attitude shown towards him by others and uphold the principles of his profession. I admired and respected the late U.R. Ananthamurthy, the Jnanapith and Padma Award winner, who headed the Sahitya Academy, and who was a fellow Kannadiga. He used to invite me to functions at the academy located near Mandi House and had warm interactions with me. I was present when he was awarded the Jnanapith Award by late Prime Minister P. V. Narasimha Rao.
On reading his suggestion to journalist Vinod K Jose, my thoughts also went back to the late fifties when I had first come to Delhi as an escort to my female cousin who was taking part in a classical music competition organized by the All India Radio. My law exam results were due and I was searching for a Bombay newspaper that was to publish the results. My uncle, U. S. Mohan Rao, who was then heading the Publications Division of the Government of India, and with whom I was staying in Delhi, said he would take me to the Press Information Bureau, which used to get the days newspapers from around the country by the evening.
I was escorted to the room of the then Principal Information Officer, T.R.V. Chari. He called for the Times of India of Bombay and asked for my roll number. He saw the results published in the newspaper, and said he did not see the number. As I was dejectedly getting up to leave, he asked for my name. When I gave it, his eyes brightened and said my dear fellow; you have stood first in the state and showed me the paper. They had published my name right at the top with my roll number.
Next, he asked me please go to the adjacent room. "We are recruiting some boys and please appear for the exam and let me see how you fare." I took the exam and this 'Madrassi' boy came to live in Delhi, though his heart was still in Bombay. A law degree and a father's law practice that I could inherit were not to be my calling.
The time I had arrived in Delhi, South Kanara, the district I belonged to, was a part of the Madras Presidency. The States Reorganization Commission had just submitted its report.
I stayed with my uncle near the Old Secretariat and one of my cousins was staying in South Avenue. I used to visit my cousin in South Avenue and for returning home, I used to take DTC Bus No.9 to go to the Old Secretariat and further to the Delhi University campus. One day, as I was waiting at the bus stop in South Avenue, an old man asked me, "Where are you from, young man? I said, "from the Madras Presidency." He got annoyed, and told me, "You do not have to crack jokes at me, and I expect you to give me a straight forward answer." I was puzzled and respectfully replied, "Dear sir, I belong to Mangalore in South Kanara of the Madras Presidency, and I gave you a straight forward answer. I do not know you, and have no intention of misleading you."
His eyes brightened, and he told me, "I now believe you." And to my surprise, he started dancing and singing at the bus stop -- "I married a girl from Mangalore." He then told me that his name was Harindranath Chattopadhyaya, and he had married Kamaladevi , a Saraswat Brahmin from Mangalore. Youngsters of today would remember him as the adorable grandfather in the film Bawarchi. Kamaladevi Chattopadhyay of course, was the legendary social reformer and freedom fighter.
He patted me on the back and said, I was always welcome to see him at his house and gave me his address. It was a pleasant change for me to see that somebody could tell the difference between a Canarese (Kannada) accent and a Tamil accent.
I moved home once again to stay with my cousin, who moved from South Avenue to Moti Bagh. After a couple of years, the cousin was transferred out of Delhi, and I had to look for a house. I told my colleagues that I was looking for a house to rent. Their reaction was, " yaar tu toh Madrassi hai, tereko koi bhi ghar de dega." (You are a Madrassi, anybody will give you a home). A 'Madrassi' was considered an ideal tenant those days, generally vegetarian, god fearing, teetotaler and non-smoker. I barely fitted into that stereotype, but had learned not to correct people when it worked to my advantage to be a 'Madrassi'.
For couple of days , I trudged the streets of Karol Bagh, which was the popular destination of all South Indians wanting to rent cheap accommodation. I visited realtors and accompanied them to several apartments. House owners would willingly meet with me, but when they got to know that I was a bachelor and that my parents would not be living with me, they were skeptical. And then, when I was asked if I drink alcohol, I would truthfully answer yes. Door shut.
My house hunting went on, as this 'Madrassi' still hadn't learned to fib even a bit. One Sunday, I landed up at Pusa Road and was told that there was an outhouse of a large house available for rent. A tough looking lady opened the door. I was almost resigned to a No yet again, so before the questioning began, I laid it out there in the open. I rattled. "I am single, a bachelor who had no intention of marrying soon, my parents don't live with me, I occasionally drink and I smoke. I am a Madrassi." I was quite resigned to the fact that the landlady would not even offer me tea, let alone rent out her outhouse.
There was a twinkle in her eye. She said to me, "beta, you are welcome to stay in my outhouse....I want you to be careful, the adjacent outhouse is rented by Punjabi girls. You are a handsome Madrassi, and one of them may like to hitch onto you. Good luck."
The Madrassi from Mumbai stayed at the Pusa Road house for over a year and the Punjabi girls used to wave at me when they saw me. It stopped there.

Jane's USAF Demo
1 comment
In USAF, you will be forced to climb the pyramid to be the top pilot of the most advanced air force in the world. Fly and train over U.S. soil in the F-16C Falcon, the A-10 Warthog, or any of six other planes. Then relive great historic air battles flying the rugged F-4E over Vietnam, or the powerful F-15C in Operation Desert Storm.
Finally, push the envelope flying the menacing F-117 Stealth Fighter and ultramodern F-22 Raptor as you fly in futuristic campaigns over Europe. If that's not enough, take your skills to the net flying against other aces on JanesCombat.Net.
USAF features a 3D terrain engine with high resolution, and high frame rate terrain rendering on low-end system specifications. It also contains advanced special effects including night flight, shadows, multiple explosion types, and much more. All flyable aircraft have 3D virtual cockpits.

These are large vines but the tomatoes taste great. It was hard to wait the extra time for them, but was worth the wait. Next time I will plant an earlier variety also. Would like the varieties separated so I don't get so many green zebras. Nebraska wedding and White wonder are wonderful as are the Cherokee purple. I didn't get any brandywine in this packet. That is another reason for separate packets of the varieties. Better flavor by far than regular tomatoes.

(ANAHEIM, Calif.) -- At least nine people were injured after a school bus crashed into trees in California on Thursday afternoon. Two students and the driver are in critical condition. The bus traveled on a hill, hitting two trees while trying to make a turn, and the resulting impact split the vehicle in half. Firefighters needed to cut the driver from the bus, and students pulled out were seen being put on backboards by paramedics.
"It came flying down the hill and went curb airborne and took out trees along the way," witness Andrea Shurtz told affiliate KABC. "The kids are screaming for us. [We're] trying to get them to jump out but the slope is so horrible and people just came running from everywhere."
The bus is from the Orange Unified School District, officials told KABC. The cause of the crash is under investigation.

It's a Mystery - 2014 Newsmakers
As we all typically look back over the year coming to an end, I've been recalling some of the memorable news to come out of the mystery genre in 2014.
Most recently was the loss of one of the mystery genre's most popular authors, P.D. James. She passed away on November 27 at the age of 94. Known as the "queen of crime", Baroness James was the creator of her much-loved protagonist, Adam Dalgliesh, the introspective Scotland Yard detective and published poet who functions as the hero of virtually all of her novels.

With little fanfare or publicity, Les Roberts has published another mystery. But this one is not part of the Milan Jacovich series. Rather, it is the second book featuring Dominick Candiotti, who was first introduced in The Strange Death of Father Candy. Nick Candiotti has returned in Wet Work and Roberts describes his character this way: "Dominck Candiotti, from an Italian family in Youngstown, began his on-page life in the year 1985, exacting terrible revenge for the death of his older priest-brother. He has no friends, no remaining family, he's not a big talker, and when forced to, he can kill without much compunction."

His murders, set mainly in small villages drolly christened with names like "Hexton-on-Weir" and "Twytching," were plotted with an ingenuity and precision that made him popular among aficionados of what is known in publishing as the English cozy - mysteries with a picturesque setting, colorful locals and minimal violence."

LAWRENCEVILLE -- Everything started so well.
In the first-ever scrimmage between the major league team and a team of its top prospects, Coolray Field packed its stands with a record crowd to watch the big-league team slip past the prospects in a rain-shortened affair.
Perhaps the rain acted as harbinger.
In its fourth season in Gwinnett, the Class AAA franchise saw its attendance drop to an average of 4,592 per game, the lowest in franchise history. And that game that drew the big crowd?
Moved to Class AA Mississippi's Trustmark Park for next season -- and it didn't count toward regular season attendance for Gwinnett.
"We knew this game was set-up to be a revolving game," G-Braves general manager North Johnson said. "We were hoping that because we did such a good job and the community supported the game so well that there may be an opportunity to have a game in Gwinnett every year, and that's being discussed.
"We're excited for Mississippi. All the teams in the organization should have an opportunity to host this game."
In terms of average attendance, the team bumped up last season to a little more than 5,000 per game before taking the dip again this year. In terms of wins and losses, this is the most unsuccessful Gwinnett Braves team, but competitiveness at the minor league level isn't always the draw. The G-Brave did lose the Fourth of July date, a large crowd from a season ago, and they expect large crowds today and Saturday.
"It's a number of things," Johnson said. "We are not like other triple-A teams where the ballpark is located in the downtown. That's what we have to figure out and it is taking us longer to figure it out than we thought we would."
But the lower numbers are not taking the effort out of Johnson and his staff, which has seven more home games before the season's end and is planning the annual Fan Appreciation Day for Aug. 30 with a 2,000 replica jersey giveaway, more T-shirt promotions and other fan-oriented events.
From there, the offseason and planning for next season begins. The G-Braves will open the season at home against Charlotte on April 4 at 7:05 p.m. Some of the schedule, including start times, hasn't been finalized and the team expects a full schedule to be ready in the coming days.
"Are we where we want to be? Absolutely not," Johnson said. "We are not going to be where we want to be until we are full every night."

In San Francisco, Alex Smith is a backup.
In Arizona, he could be a blessing.
If the 49ers release or trade Smith in the offseason, the Cardinals would be a logical landing spot for the eight-year veteran who leads the NFL in completion percentage (70.0) and ranks second in passer rating (104.1).
Entering its regular-season finale Sunday at Candlestick Park, Arizona (5-10) has used four quarterbacks en route to losing 10 of its past 11 games, six by at least 14 points: Kevin Kolb, John Skelton, sixth-round pick Ryan Lindley and Brian Hoyer.
During the skid, the quartet has completed 54 percent of its passes, thrown three touchdowns and 17 interceptions and posted a 54.6 passer rating.
Will the Cardinals look to upgrade for 2013?
"That's something that we'll have to determine in the offseason," Arizona coach Ken Whisenhunt said. "If you look at teams in the NFL, the ones that have stability at that position, consistency of play, it's an important component. Like I said before, we haven't gotten the consistency at that position that we've needed. It's something that you always look to try to attain."
In last week's 28-13 loss to Chicago, Hoyer replaced Lindley, who has thrown seven interceptions without a touchdown, and completed 11 of 19 passes for 105 yards with one interception. With Kolb on injured reserve and Skelton inactive last week, it's expected that Hoyer will make his first career start against the 49ers. On his conference call with the Bay Area media this morning, Whisenhunt said he will announce a starter later today.
Hoyer, 27, a backup in New England from 2009-11, has thrown 62 passes in his four-year career.
Meanwhile, Smith made a positive impression against Arizona in his last full game of the season. In a 24-3 win over the Cardinals on Oct. 29, he completed 18 of 19 passes for 232 yards with three touchdowns, a performance which earned him NFC Offensive Player of the Week honors.
Asked about the 49ers' subsequent starting-quarterback swap, Whisenhunt said he's in no position to judge.
"I can't comment on a quarterback because we've had our share of making moves with quarterbacks during the year," he said. "(Smith) played well against us and he's played well for them, I have a lot of respect for that. But they've done a good job all year. (Colin) Kaepernick's got in there and played well also. So there's not a lot to complain about when they have the record that they have and they have a chance to win the division."

Play Till You're Pooped!
The Canine Social Club offers Oklahoma City area dog owner's first class
dog daycare, comfortable lodging and professional grooming services. Our
newest location, Canine Social Club "la Petite" at 7500 N. Broadway Ext.
caters to small dogs under 30 lbs, who don't care to run with the big
dogs. We offer climate controlled indoor-outdoor play areas and a large
outdoor play-turf.
Our first location at 1020 NW 67th Street was opened in April 2004, also offering a climate controlled indoor play facility, along with a larger 1/3 acre play-yard catering to our larger, more rambunctious clients. Location hours are conveniently open 7 am–7 pm Monday-Friday, and 10 am–12 pm Saturdays and Sundays for drop-off and pick-up. Our dedication to quality, not quantity, will make you and your dog's life happier and stress-free. A day at the club allows your pup to run free, play all day long and receive tender loving care while your busy at work.
Safe and Supervised!
A day at our Athletic Club consists of safe, supervised free-play all day long with other approved club members in our huge play-yard and climate-controlled inside playground for lots of running and ball playing. Plenty of raised beds are available for impromptu naps. All areas are under the constant watch of our well-trained staff. Our play areas are clean, safe, and the dogs are well cared for and professionally supervised. During the hot dog-days of summer, our dogs stay cool playing in our fresh swimming/wading pools.
Daycare While You Work!
Working 9-5 for most dog owners makes it hard to give your dog a walk after a long day yourself, we know because we all did it ourselves. Leave your dog with us for doggie daycare and we'll be sure to give them the tender care, love and exercise they would miss while you're off bringing home the bacon. Whether your pooch is at home for an entire day while you're at work or just a few hours while you run your errands, we'll make sure your doggie socializes to their heart's content - rain or shine. After a few visits they will be sitting by their leash at home to let you know where they want to go!
Spend the Night!
Our overnight guests enjoy a supervised environment with raised beds, night lights and soothing music. After playing all day we guarantee a great night's sleep! Normally boarding kennels are deafening with barking, anxious and bored dogs, confined all day long making for a very stressed-out and tiring environment for your pooch. When we close at night, after all the daycare pooches go home, our indoor boarding area is quiet as a mouse, because every dog is "pooped-out"! Our primary focus is to give you peace of mind and your dog a fun, safe place to play and make new friends! Canine Social Club is the closest thing to home, but you can be off and playing too!
Full Service Grooming!
Canine Social Club proudly offers full service, professional dog grooming to keep your dog looking and feeling great. Our groomers are highly sought after by customers because of their detail to perfection. Our members can come play all day and go home with a salon finish.......See our services and inquire about our competitive first-class grooming rates.
Committed To Quality Care!
For over 6 years, Canine Social Club has been providing superior daycare, grooming and boarding in our centrally located and spacious facility. Our commitment to quality care gives you peace of mind that your dog is safe and happy. Please contact us at (405) 842-1515 for scheduling and introduction.
Come play at the Club and relax....BOTH OF YOU!
