Photo Gallery: Your photos of fire
EUGENE, Ore. - When news breaks, sometimes the first people on scene aren't police or firefighters, much less journalists.
It's people like you - often with a digital camera or cell phone.
KVAL News values contributions from YouNews reporters, who have captured our area from all sorts of angles. | See the Photo Gallery
In recent weeks, we have featured your photographs of the Oregon Coast; Oregon waterfalls; Oregon wildlife; and Oregon mountains; as well as your photographs of the Lane County Fair, the coronation of the new Slug Queen, and the Scandinavian Festival in Junction City.
Just as important as chance encounters with natural beauty, however, are those moments when you find yourself in the right place at the right time: a beached whale on the Oregon Coast; a tornado touches down in Peoria; or when wind, rain, snow or lightning conspire to turn an otherwise normal day into an adventure.
This week, KVAL.com features your photographs of fires: campfires, house fires, forest fires.
Remember: If you have a digital video camera or still photo camera and you see news happen:
- Keep a safe distance, and follow instructions from firefighters and police
- If no one is on scene, call 911 if it is an emergency. If you are trained in first aid, provide assistance
- Film what you see - then post your video and photos on KVAL.com or send them to email@example.com.
We use your video and photos in almost every newscast - and sometimes, you'll have better material than we do, so we want to share it with the rest of the community.
Thank you again, YouNews reporters, for helping KVAL.com and KVAL News cover our communities. We don't report the news for you; we report the news with you. Thanks again for being part of the team.

Web producer, KVAL.com

Figures. Poor Bi-Polar Bear can't catch a break….
There is a species of spider that can spit. A mixture of silk and gluey material to nail prey.
Insensitivity knows no race, ethnicity, nation or religion. Neither does hypersensitivity.
I call them flying rats but then I'm known for my bad attitude. I agree with BP bear but sometimes attitude overcomes ideals
You are also known for you lack of knowledge of taxonomy of mammals too.
The first discernible bats appear in the fossil record about 53 million years ago. So they have a much longer pedigree than we do. Sure the tips of their wings still ha claws on them and they didn't have all the equipment for echolocation yet. Without them you'd be eaten and also have your food an home infested with the millions of pounds of insects those bats you hate eat every day if bats disappeared tomorrow.
To quote Calvin? "Bats: The Big Bug Terror of the Skies!"
1 Question who said any thing about Bats?
Burrowing owls compete with desert rats it would seem for the same size hole. I have fixed the broken wing of two.pidgeons. They had opposite personalities. One.lived with me for years, not in a cage but fre3.
Nope. Al mentioned "flying rats", which is slang for urban pidgeons.
And since the strip is talking about pidgeons, not bats, Al's is right on topic.

Our positive and friendly approach, combined with guaranteed small
classes, is getting great results for children all over Sussex.
We have a maximum of 6* to a class, compared with other
swim schools that sometimes take up to 14.
All Instructors are fully qualified and experienced and hold the relevant ASA/STA certificate(s). Tuition is always 'hands on' as Instructors are in the water with the children. The Instructor to swimmer ratio is very high, ensuring your child will receive above average attention and tuition.
The Jellyfish Swim School teaches in a friendly and encouraging environment. We start from children as young as 3 years, up to competitive club standard.
Private one-to-one tuition is available for children that are perhaps too nervous, struggling on a particular stroke or simply would like dedicated attention.
Communication is the key to success:
Part of the ethos at Jellyfish is constant monitoring of pupil progress and ongoing communication between teachers, parents and pupils. We recognise the importance of parental involvement and are always available to answer any queries. You can discuss a child's progress with the Instructors and staff at any time.
*May take upto 8 per class from stage 4 onwards

- Upon discharge, you may receive instructions regarding your child's follow-up care if he or she requires it.
- Repeat to the care provider his/her instructions to make sure you understand them.
- Review your child's discharge/home care plan with the care provider. Be sure to ask when your child can return to normal activities.

Cyclone Phailin wanes, claims 14 lives
India averted a major calamity on Sunday as cyclone Phailin, said to be the biggest storm to hit the country in more than a decade, weakened considerably but not before leaving 14 people dead and causing widespread destruction.
The cyclonic storm changed its course and weakened in intensity after hitting the coastal areas of Odisha and Andhra Pradesh and moved north towards Jharkhand, avoiding Jharkhand.
"There are 13 deaths in Orissa and one in Andhra Pradesh. So we have been able to keep the death toll to a bare minimum," said vice chairman of the National Disaster Management Authority Marri Shashidhar Reddy.
Some media reports however said 23 people -- 21 in Odisha and two in neighbouring Andhra Pradesh -- were killed in the aftermath of the storm.
Odisha special relief commissioner Pradipta Kumar Mohapatra said electricity and water supplies will be restored in most areas by Sunday evening, except in the worst-hit Ganjam district.
Besides Ganjam that bore the brunt of the storm, more than 5 lakh hectares of farmland were damaged, 9 lakh trees were uprooted across seven coastal districts, the state government said.
In Andhra Pradesh, road stretches on national highways measuring 18 kilometres and 400-km of electrical lines were damaged while several thousand acres of agricultural fields suffered damages, an initial assessment showed.
Major loss of life was averted as around 8.73 lakh people were evacuated from 99 blocks spread over 12 districts in the two states, in biggest such operation in decades.
Odisha chief minister Naveen Patnaik said, "Our priority was to save lives and I think we've been successful."
However rehabilitation of the displaced people would be a challenge, he admitted adding, "Property worth several lakh crores of rupees was damaged."
The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) meanwhile stood vindicated as yhe cyclones final outcome matched its danger forecasts that were consistently below those from foreign meteorologists.
"They have been issuing over-warnings, we have been contradicting them," L.S. Rathore, IMD director general told a press conference in New Delhi.
In its last bulletin late Sunday, the met office said, "Cyclonic Storm 'Phailin' weakened into [a] deep depression over north Chhatisgarh and
adjoining Odisha and Jharkhand."
"The cyclonic storm over Odisha moved northwards with a speed of 20 kmph during past 6 hours, weakened further into a deep depression and lay centred at 5 pm, Oct 13 over north Chhattisgarh and adjoining areas of Odisha and Jharkhand
The location was reported as 70 km north-northwest of Jharsuguda and 90 km south-southeast of Ambikapur.
"The system would move northwards during next 6 hours, then north-northeastwards and weaken gradually into a depression during next 12 hours," it added.
In a warning for Odisha, Andhra Pradesh and West Bengal, the IMD said rainfall at many places with isolated heavy falls would occur over interior Odisha
during next 12 hours and decrease thereafter.
"Rainfall at many places with isolated heavy to very heavy falls would occur over Bihar, Sub-Himalayan West Bengal and Sikkim during next 48 hours.
"Rainfall at many places with isolated heavy falls over north Chhattisgarh and Jharkhand, during next 12 hours," it added.

Mandarin Myrrh: This fragrance is a blend of the sweet mixed with the sophisticated romantic notes of a deeper side of longing. Mandarin Orange, Meyer Lemon and Tangerine Zest tangle with the freshness of Basil, Sweet Clove Bud and Star Jasmine before being brought to the grounding earth with Indonesian Patchouli, Indian Myrrh, Golden Amber and Egyptian Musk. It's a lot to fit into one fragrance and we think you'll appreciate it. Fragrance discolors to a light tan and performs amazingly in CP soap.

NOTE: This medium-flashpoint oil (149ºF) cannot ship via USPS regardless of the shipping method you choose at checkout.
Please Note: This fragrance has been reformulated to comply with new RIFM standards, so it smells a little different - but we think it's even better now!

About wasabi - A SMALL Spoonful of it is great included into mashed potatoes.(or on the side to add as the taster wishes) Charlotteflag if inappropriate
I had a jar of wasabi powder that I've never opened and decided to try this recipe using fresh swordfish steaks. I thought it was the most discusting thing I've eaten in a long time. Ditto for my husband. Took a few bites and 86'd the rest. Before I get slaughtered by wasabi lovers, I'm sure there is nothing wrong with the recipe -- I guess we just don't like the flavor of wasabi. I like horseradish, but wouldn't like it mixed with butter and melted over fish. I did mix the wasabi with a tablespoon of saki as suggested. Oh well, differences of opinion (and taste) are what make the world go 'round, right? Bon Appetit!flag if inappropriate
I am not sure anyone has ever done this, but I have not made this YET. I plan to when it is warm enough to grill. However, I am commenting to the person from Detention (who should be put IN detention). Next time you think of trying something new, KNOW what the ingredients are. Obviously, you don't like wasabi.flag if inappropriate
Tell the cook from "Detention" to go back. This recipe is greatflag if inappropriate
This was excellent! My husband and I were both skeptical about the wasabi butter, but it turned out great--a wonderful complement to the tuna, and each of us could vary the amount we added. Used a Foreman grill--about 2 minutes total since it sears from both sides. Just plain sticky rice and soy on the side. Definitely a keeper, and so easy! (We used Paul Prudhomme's San Fran teriyaki marinade--good match since we didn't want anything too sweet.)flag if inappropriate
I love rare tuna and I love wasabi. But this just didn't get it for me. I think it's the butter. gack!flag if inappropriate
This was my first attempt at tuna on the grill. We thought it turned out great. I used Kikoman Roasted Garlic Teriyaki for extra flavor and marinated in the fridge for an hour. I follwed the reviewer's suggestion about grilling extra 30 seconds with wasabi butter on grill and we loved it. I was overly cautious about the wasabi (I made a paste from the powder) about it being too hot. Next time, I would like the wasabi butter to have a little more kick, but now I know what I need to do.flag if inappropriate
This was really good. I'd only use a tuna filet about 1/2-3/4" though. I still like it rare, but hot in the middle too! I used Yoshida's marinade - totally good, and wasabi paste in the tube (prepared) - totally HOT. This is hotter than the powder by FAR. So if you use the tube kind, expect it to be hotter. I used about 1 Tbsp. to 2 Tbsp. butter. I also cooked mine in a cast iron pan over gas range. It's too cold here to BBQ now. Paired it with California Rolls sushi (I'll rate that too).flag if inappropriate
My husband absolutely adores this dish and insists I prepare it every week now. I have always used about 2 tsp Wasabi paste rather than powder, as that is all I could find in my Japanese market. I would have given it a 3-1/2 rating if that was an available choice.flag if inappropriate
I rarely make the same dish more than once a month, this has become a weekly must have. yum. My wasabi powder is very srong, so i would watch out the first time you make this, and thanks for the tip on adding a little water to wasabi. It works out great.flag if inappropriate

After this Thursday night, no one will be allowed to wear the No. 3 jersey for the New London (Conn.) High boys' basketball any more.
Prior to the Whalers' 7 p.m. home contest against Hamden High, the program will retire Kris Dunn's number. Dunn earned McDonald's All-American honors as a senior at New London High before coming to Providence College in the fall of 2012.
"At New London, we have two policies. We have a jersey retirement and a number retirement," explained Craig Parker, head coach at New London High. "A jersey retirement implies that you can retire a jersey but someone can wear that number. We're actually doing a number retirement for Kris. No one will wear his number again."
Back in December, Parker mentioned the idea of properly honoring Dunn's contributions to New London basketball. At the time, the only detail left to iron out was to find a convenient date for the PC sophomore to come down. With the Friars in the area leading up to Saturday's crucial game at the Dunkin' Donuts Center against DePaul, this week seemed as good a time as any to set everything in stone.

From Linchi Shea's blog:
In SQL Server, it is rather handy to retrieve data from a different SQL Server instance and use the result locally in another SQL statement for further processing. In theory and in the set purists' fantasy land, it shouldn't matter where you get your data or even how you get the data as long as you can use them to further compose a set-based solution.
That is all fine. After all, in a distributed environment the data you want may not be on the same instance where the processing takes place. Well, that is fine until it comes to performance and troubleshooting. If you use linked servers indiscriminately, sooner or later you'll run into these issues, and they are not pretty.
We have used linked server functionality at various points at work. As Linchi points out, it can be quite useful when you have data distributed across multiple systems. But I have seen cases where it's caused issues, such as excess network traffic, authentication problems (anyone actually been able to get Kerberos auth to work for a two-hop Windows auth'd linked server?), and general performance malaise.
So what are some alternatives?
- Replication – true, it may not solve the network issue, and depending upon the type used, it might cause a delay in data transfer. But it would allow for queries to execute against a single server.
- Static data transfer using SSIS – I would say this would be fine for offline use of data such as reporting. There have been very few cases in my experience where true real-time data has been a hard business requirement, though at times the point has been, shall we say, vigorously argued.

Rita Ora stashes "a whole bunch of teddies" under her bed.
The UK singer has become a worldwide phenomenon thanks to her catchy hits such as Hot Right Now and R.I.P.
Adoring fans often shower the 22-year-old with gifts on stage and Rita has a particular soft spot for furry friends.
"Well, I've got a whole bunch of teddies under my bed that my fans have given me, but I've got a special little Japanese one that I keep in my bed, who I just named Suli," she confessed to British magazine Top of the Pops.
"I've got a huge teddy from [UK toy store] Hamleys, too. It was from an ex who things didn't work out with, but I can't get rid of it because it's just so nice. I love teddies!"
Despite her feisty onstage persona, it seems Rita is a softie at heart.
The gorgeous singer even admits becoming emotional when watching touching films.
"Marley & Me [made me cry]. When the dog was in hospital I was bawling my eyes out!" she recalled.
"If I want cheering up, I'll put on any Will Ferrell film. They always put me in a good mood."
The superstar loves nothing more than watching a DVD.
When she's relaxing with a movie she also likes to indulge in some comfort food.
"I love, love, love takeaways," she gushed.
"Chinese and Thai are my favourites. I'll get sweet and sour chicken with spring rolls and just chill out and watch movies. I love watching movies!"

The Halfpipe coaster stands 100-feet tall, the track is 230 feet end-to-end and is powered by high-tech linear induction motors.
"The Halfpipe is perfect for Six Flags Elitch Gardens and Colorado," said Tara Tongco, park spokesperson. "It's a tribute to the winter adventures the mountains offer and an outrageous thrill that everyone can enjoy -- whether or not you've been on a snowboard."
Riders can spin countless 360s at heights of up to 10 stories high on a gigantic 39-foot-long board. Sixteen thrill-seeking riders sit safely in two circular cars that spin independently as the board carves its way up and down the tallest Halfpipe around. Each ride is unique, because weight distribution and gravity determine how the cars spin.
The Halfpipe is the second new, ground-breaking coaster at the park in the past few years. "Having yet another first at Six Flags Elitch Gardens is a thrilling honor," Tongco said. "In 2002, we had the first-ever Flying Coaster. Now, we have the first Halfpipe thrill ride in America."
The Halfpipe is located at the south end of the park, near the Boomerang coaster.

Located near Sicily, Malta lies to the north east of Tunisia, with Gibraltar to the west. Locals speak Maltese and English and the island has a rich history of different powers that have ruled the island.
In addition, Malta has a tradition of mysterious legends, including the Maltese Falcon and the Knights of St John, also known as the Knights of Malta who wear black gowns adorned with the white Maltese cross. The Maltese falcon, of the film fame, is actually the peregrine falcon and now extinct in Malta, although it breeds elsewhere.
Apart from these tantalizing attractions, there are many more reasons why MSC cruise ships travel to this pretty island. Lovely beaches with clear waters, rugged cliffs and historic ruins are just some of the sights that we can introduce to you when you participate in our day trip excursion packages.
Our luxury cruise ships call at Malta's stunning capital, La Valletta and this city, with its elegant Baroque architecture is also a UNESCO world heritage site and, thanks to its many monuments is almost an 'open air museum'. Stroll the city's elegant squares, relax with a coffee in the many stylish cafés or shop for souvenirs (local currency Euro) from your vacation such as lace and the traditional filigree jewelry.
We'll offer you the best deals on the famous attractions such as the Grandmaster's Palace and Caravaggio's gruesome masterpiece, which is housed in St John's Co-Cathedral.

I know today is Wednesday and that a lot of people do that What I Ate Wednesday thing, but I've never really gotten into it. A lot of bloggers (Not ALL bloggers, obviously, but there are some!) post everything that goes into their mouths, and there is a lot of talk over it, surprisingly. People say oh, you eat too much of this, all you eat is this, you don't eat enough food, and blah blah blah. Needless to say, I don't want to be a part of that.
I do however love taking pictures of what I eat, and have a phone full of random veggie wrap photos and such, so I'm going to share what I've been eating recently with you. No, this is not everything I eat, or all I eat. I also consume a lot of cookies that go unpictured. But vegetables are more colorful to take pictures of!
First up is this veggie filled sandwich. I got some onion and chili tortilla wraps at Trader Joes a while back (You'll seem them later in this post no doubt) and I ran out. So I bought this whole wheat bread from Krogers. It's good. But like all store bread it's filled with junk probably. Anyway, sandwiched between the bread is veganaise (vegan mayonnaise), lettuce, onion, tomato, avocado, cucumber, and a small sprinkling of parmesan cheese. (on a kick ass super old Lion King plate.)
I made Beth's Mostaccioli bake and it was amazing. Very cheesy. I'm lactose intolerant, but you'd probably never know it from how I eat. Those lactaid pills do help a little bit, but I think my stomach and digestive system have been out of whack for so long I'm just used to it. I really need to get back in the swing of eating dairy super sparingly like I used to though. Regardless, this was delicious. (Also I didn't add the spinach because I don't like cooked spinach.)
Huge salad bowl. It kind of looks just like lettuce, but I promise you there are veggies and beans in there. They all seem to settle to the bottom. I should have taken a photo before I mixed it all up.
This was my New Years Eve dinner plate. (Yes I am a looser and have a big special dinner with my family on NYE. But it's my favorite meal of the year so I'm ok with it.) We do a big appetizers spread. We had veggie dogs in a blanket, deviled eggs, pasta salad, veggie meatballs, Brie and walnut flatbread, veggies, bbq tofu, potato bites, and taco dip. There was a few more things but they wouldn't all fit on my plate!
I wanted to post the recipe for the potato bites, but I didn't get any really good photos of them so I don't know if I will. I may wait till I make them again so I can get some good pictures.
Veggie plate!! Cucumber, tomatoes, and Trader Joe's romano caesar dressing. (It's vegetarian!) Also from Trader Joe's sweet and spicy pecans.
More veggies and pecans and dressing, (I could put that dressing on anything I think) as well as some pickles and a wrap. It's just filled with more veggies and beans.
Breakfast! Both of the things from this bowl also come from Trader Joes. Quiona steel cut oatmeal, from their frozen section. It's really convenient, because you just have to microwave it, but it's a little too much quionoa for me in the morning. On top is a blob of their chocolate cookie butter swirl. (OMFG amazing.- although the chocolatey part feels a little like shortening in your mouth.)
And finally this. I bought this from Kroger, and it is greek yogurt cream cheese. They also sell it in cream cheese bricks. I love it. It actually has less calories (but also less protein I think, which is odd) than regular cream cheese if you're interested in the stats. But I love how it's got that greek yogurt tang to it!
I'm sure I have more photos but I don't want to bombard you with them all at once!! Are there any foods/snacks/meals you've been loving lately??

PlayStation 3 Release Date and Price announced
43 Comments to PlayStation 3 Release Date and Price announced
The cost of the PS3 is about to be cutted down!!! Oooh, I'll have it real soon finally!! :D:D
I'm really gonna buy a ps3 on its release date, cuz:
-I don't want to go around any game store to see the display unit
-Don't want to get up early on sunday to get one at the store (like I did when I get the PS2)
-Don't want to wait until sony drops the price, 'cuz maybe this happens on 2008 (no fucking way!)
Setting the record straight:
Video game consoles do flop. Historically it is extremely common. TurboGrapix 16, Atari Jaguar and Sega to name 3 legendary flops. PS3 will not flop because Sony has the capital to handle losing money in the short term. Also since Sony is so well established in making video games you can count on a huge library of new titles for the PS3. The console is quite costly especially since you require an expensive TV to get the most out of the system. My advice is buy the Nintendo Wii on its release date and enjoy playing it while the PS3 falls in price, then buy the PS3.
so sony canned the silver and white versions of the ps3 or what.
here's what i think…
1. To get a good graphics you need to have a television that can take HDTV format otherwise, if you are using a standard television then you can only get a graphics as good as the TV. I wonder if you could connect your computer monitor to this?
2. I do not play online gaming, therefore I do not need the extra WiFi, ethernet connection and why do you need blueTooth?. There should be a way to choose the configuration on this system.
3. Even if there are games abvailable for PS3, they may have been developed and tested using PS2's therfore the first few games do not utilize the audio/video and speed of this console.
4. any other spec that i did not mention, i probably will not use it. So what is the point having them there?
Ohh and I forgot to mention that, yea the 360 does have some pretty good games, when it comes to fun and graphics (great combo), but I have noticed that many of the games that are for the 360 are also available for PS2. And the Wii, i'll admit they have some fun lookin games, but "most" of them are for the younger generation (kiddi) unless your into the whole zelda thing at the age of 15 and up, but some of them actuall look worth wild. But if I had to choose, I'd buy a PS3. Because it has many new games that not only have revolutionary graphics, but many of them look amazing, exciting, and actually worth playing. And also for the many new features that come with it. And srry about the typoes.
Ok, i'm a Sony fan and I think there isn't going to be any other system out there better than the PS3, but yea, i'll admit that the system seems a little over priced. But hearing people say that Sony is being greedy, now that sounds pretty fucked up coming from people who have no knowledge on how much Sony puts into research and development, and how they actually loose money by creating the most up to date and revolutionary gaming systems. Like Viper Driver said. Also they have almost have an equal amount of systems released as Nintendo, and as far as the PSP has gone, it is the most advanced portable gaming system know to man. And not to mention that yes, Microsoft did rush the 360 into production, and "overheating" was not the only sign of that. I still go to game stores today and see limitations on the 360 to one per person, pretty pathetic if you ask me. Also the 360 doesnt even have backward playing capability, and that really sucks. As for the PS3, it has backward playing so you can play games from PS2 and PS1, and a shit load of other kick ass new features availiable with eht system. And as for you people who say "who needs a blue ray laser, and all that other stuff", when bought seperately they can asdd up to as much as 3-4 thousand bucks. And sony offers it to you in an all in one package at a fractionof the cost. And believe me, Sony put all that software in the PS3 so the player can get the MOST out of their playing experience. But with every next gen system comes an shit load of next gen games, so I doubt anyone would be rushing to play games like Tomb Raider or MGS on their new PS3, but its always nice to have the option available so you can play an old favorite classic of yours. So all of you Microsoft fans out there, if you have read this and u still have an overwhealming passion for the so called "best system ever" then I guess u all just can't accept defeat. Sony has (except for before its time), is, and may always be the main leading manufacturer of video game systems.
I am just kinda passing by when i saw this. I just want to state that remeber a couple years ago when people said no way im not paying $200 for super nintendo or genesis. then 400 for playstation 2 but people keep buying as the price goes up. It's all supply an demand. People demand better things such as the xbox or playstaion then they will supply it. The bigger the demand the higher the prices. It's that simple. I'm Not really here to say the playstation 3 will flop or that xbox 360 is great cause seriously, my all time fav games were on super nintendo an nintendo no the graphics were not great but the story lines were amazing. That was before graphics had to be good now its graphics this an graphics that but if the game has no story line. Then what is the point of the game? Sure it looks amazing but if you can't have fun…all your looking at is a picture that moves…
I'll do the exact same thing I did with the ps2. Buy the ps3 and bring 2 friends to buy one. Turn around and sell it on ebay. Last time with the ps2 i made a coll 1500 dollars. I only bouhgt it 400. but this time with 3 plus ill try to sell if for a coll 2000
Personally I've always been a fan of the PS2, The sport games like Madden are much easier to play due to the controller configuration, unlike the X-box controller that has a few more buttons in akward spots that confuse the hell outta me when playing Madden. The price is a little steep, but for some reason Sony has way better games. If it wasnt for HALO I probably would never play the X-box, I'm pretty sure if they made Halo for the PS2 the PS2 would be way ahead in the gaming industry, right now I would think that they are pretty much neck and neck. I did hear somewhere that the companies that bring these consoles out usually lose money on the console itself, but makeup in game sales. As for the Nintendo Wii or whatever its called, i dont know about you guys but Mario Kart, Luigi's big adventures, Yoshi's whatever he does and Zelda etc. kinda got old when i was 10yrs old. Dont get me wrong, it was the shit back in the day but lately they dont impress me much. I think its geared to the really younger crowd. Overall i think that the PS3 system will be the best thing out there in a few months, i do think its overpriced but what the hell the money i spend out drinking in about a month and half equals pretty much what the PS3 is gonna cost, the only thing is i would at least have something to show for with the PS3. I guess no one can really make predictions right now on whats gonna happen on whether its gonna flop. The only thing we can do is wait and see. I'm still gettin one though!!!
I lot of people need to wake up. The PS3 won't indeed flop, pretty much no console floped in the history of video games, granted some sucked bad time but they always make a little money in the end. But that being said the PS3 IS overpriced and overhyped for the mainstream market. Sure there are a few techno-geeks who think they are gonna be teh l33t because they have a Blu-ray player but …oh wait phone call for you… oh it's common sense… uh-huh. ok, yeah ok i'll tell them. Ok he said to say : "NOBODY GIVES A CRAP ABOUT BLU-RAY" first, it's a technology still in it's baby stage, there are what about 30-40 movies out right now on Blu-Ray, if that at all, and there is still no guarantee (aside from Sony fanboy love) that this technology will come out on top of HD-dvd, second of all by the time there are enough PS3s for everyone the Blu-Ray players will have dropped price. Oh and another thing, those of you who keep saying the 360 shipped to early it overheated, call me in a few weeks after the PS3 launch and we'll see how many consoles over heat or have other problems. FYI i work in an EB Games and the 360 was (aside from Nintendo who makes flawless products) the smoothest launch so far, it had about a 30% defect ratio, the PS2 was around 50% at launch, yes 1 in 2 consoles.
Bottom line is the PS3 might be a good console, but after the high price, no HDMI cable for 500$, losing exclusive titles and a major problem with launch, you are better off picking up a 360 AND a Wii for the same price.
Also after reading the rest of your posts, I think some of you either havent read enough on the ps3 or are complete morons. You all say that sony is a bunch of greedy bastards? No, i think not. Try finding a bluray disk player alone now days for under $800….its not gonna happen. The ps3 also has two chips in it, that if bought seperately, would cost $500 a peice. Also consider all of the R&D (research & design) money that sony has to recoup…its probably over a third of a billion dollars. with every ps3 that sony sells for the first couple of years, they actually lose money. also, I applaud sony for waiting another year to release their system, instead of releasing a half finished product that overheats in around 10% of the systems like microsoft did. sony clearly has the upperhand in the console war and the xbox 360 will be the system for the lower income populations…end of story
I plan on buying one for my boyfriend because he wants one. I was thinking of getting one of the 60gb ones.. any clue how fast they'll drop their prices or should i just get it expensive as hell?
I just saw sony's 2 hour long e3 presentation for the 3rd time & i gotta say that this is the best console out there BY FAR. The price doesnt really concern me too much because i'm planning on buying 2 of em and selling one of em on ebay. Does anyone have any clue as to how much people are gonna be paying on ebay the day after they come out? I'm thinkin around $1000+ for the 60gb, although I saw one on ebay for $2500 that is shipped the day after release. also any clues on release titles? the only game i really want when it comes out is madden, will it be released with the xbox
Just because you're an econ major, you're supposed to know what you're talking about??? I hate retards who try to over justify their point based on their background. If your point is truly air-tight, it needs no further bullsh't behind it to give it more validity.
first of all, conyac is a huge db. (yes, conyac, that stands for deusche bag) anyway, you definitely do not have a playstation 3 already. plain and simple. im almost convinced that you are retarded at this point for two main reasons. 1- you can't even spell properly and 2- you are trying to lie to all of us on this forum. this entire forum is now dumber because of you. actually, ill make you a deal, you take a picture of yourself holding your ps3 and ill paypal you 500 bucks.
with that said, i think that we can all agree that the main reason we play games is for one simple reason; fun. at this point, wii is looking more enjoyable to me than 360 or ps3. great graphics mean nothing if the game isnt fun. thats just my two cents…
The Ps3 is going down with the price that they put on it
take it from an economics major, sony did its homework this time around and will continue to come out on top. They could have slopped it all together and pushed it out the door like microsoft but they chose to hide hide in the shadows for another year which shows society they are working on something bigger and better…
the pricde is all a comeon, after a while they'll bump it down a 100 bucks or two when they see the morall has thinned… it is truely genius! Believe me, SOny hasn't lost its edge nor will microsoft ever take its place on the top of the mountain…
the ps3 wont flop!!! th xbox 360 didnt flop and the ps3 has more games available and is twice as powerful! my dad works 4 sony and i already hav one and it is th best console out and th graphics r outstanding
Its gona flop,the ps3 is gona flop,tha first and second system flopped,they have always had problems with the first gen sytems,also did the first xbox,ive had 2xbox's 3 ps2s 1 gamecube 1 n64,im going with thd wii
I had a 360 and sold it because i needed money. Without a doubt i loved the system and thought it was awesome, I think it will bw the best for the price becuase like almost everyone is saying 500 or 600 dollers for a system is kinda ubsurb. With that said i think graphics and gameplay will be very tight between xbox 360 and ps3. Playstation has always had great gameplay although for sports games like madden i felt xbox's were better. Due to releasing PS3 later i think the graphics will be better than that of xbox 360. As for gameplay i havent seen one play game yet for playstation so i can comment, has ne one seen one? Overall with the release date of Halo 3 right around the time PS3 drops i think it hurts ps3 becuase its so expensive and their always is a question on gameplay when a system is geared toward graphics.
This is retarted. I will never pay more than half a thousand dollars just to play games, I was really hoping to get a Ps3!! Damn you Sony!! 360 or the Wii???
i dont care about the graphix i just care about how fun the games are and to me the wii looks the most fun out of all the three consoles.
Out of the three new consoles, PS3 and 360 will be the two best. I don't know which will be better out of the 2 yet though. The Wii will probly be last because of its graphix.
the ps3 is going flop big time. its a fact that wii will either be the best or second best. it would be a miricle if the ps3 is the best out of the 3
Heres how I see it.
The rich are getting alot richer, and the poor are barely moving on.
The relase date is after the Wii's rumor date… Sony has failed to realase it's system, before two other companies already relased there.
For $600, you can get a mid-performance system without a monitor.
To my knoweldge, the Xbox 360 games are 60 bucks a peice, and the PS2 games that were max 40, are now either cheaper, or "Greatest Hits" for 20.
If games are going to be atleast 50 dollars, and a system for 600, thats just, ubsurd.
If the Nintendo Wii is 200 bucks like I read it would be, and if there isnt a bunch of deifferent models, that come with features, I will get that in a heart beat.
I know alot of people who are saying "PS3 For the Win!" and they have been waiting, and will wait till release date, but after I show them this price, we are all going to go build our own PCs with dual core AMDs and SLI GeFroce 7900GTs instead, 400 dollars more rougly, but, hey, a PC, you can do anything.
The price is to much, we all know it. Sony Buffed this thing up to much, they shoudlve just left the DVD/Game Play combo, no advnacded BluRay, Wifi tehcnology.
Dont get me wrong, Wifi rocks, but, it is a lot slower, from my tests due to electionral noise. I hope the wired option is still there.
Just my opnion.
wow. McMaster, you really are a fucking moron. Not saying that I personally would pay $600 for it, but your statement just goes to show that you're completely retarded. "Get a life, you dicks!" Who are you talking to? Us? Or Sony? And even if you were talking to Sony, what the fuck does "get a life" mean in this context? How about, "Stop being greedy, you assholes." And maybe some people have $600 lying around and don't mind dropping it on a game system that would (potentially) rock. I, for one, get plenty of "ass" and have the kind of money where I might consider getting it. I probably won't until it gets cheaper, but your statement just makes no sense. "Oh, you spent a lot of money on a game console, obviously you are sexually frusterated." Kinda shows where your focus is, doesn't it? Sounds like you need the ass.
OK i would like to know how you people get this info and shit, im a stoner from nebraska USA and i want to know what makes its such a beefy machine????? Ontoso sounds like he knows a thing or two, dude email me how u know what HDMI, WiFi IEEE 802.11 b/g and that other shit. email@example.com
The original Playstation when released in the UK cost around about $500. Yet lots of people bought it. I can see the same thing happening this time around.
OMG $499 for the 20?!? thats alot and i dont think im going to be able to afford it. One solution to the price would be to wait about 2 years and then wait for it to drop to about $350 and then that'll hurt your wallet alittle less….. alas it'll still hurt it.
Take McMaster's advice. Anyone , and I mean anyone , who pays $600 for a damn video game …. anyone who spends that much time playing with toys either needs his head examined or needs a piece of ass really, really bad. GET A LIFE, you dicks!
what are the prices for the playstation 3
i heared it will be a 60gs and a 30gs is that the truth
i heard that they are not going to be bring out a 20gs playstation 3
This is dumb. I would never spend 500 bucks for a game sysytem. I'll do what I always do.. Wait for it to get cheaper :-)
The extra 40GB doesn't the only extra of the most expensive pack, this pack contains a HDMI, WiFi IEEE 802.11 b/g conection and a MemoryStick/SD/CompactFlash "car reader".
I apologize by my terrible English
Its not $100 for an extra 40 Gig, read around a few other palces, $100 gives you 40Gb Extra, Wifi, HDMI and a few other bits and pieces that the cheaper one doesnt have.
Really the Xbox 360 and the PS3 cost the same amount if you went an bought the same accessories to get the same features. except Xbox 360 can't play HDDVD Games, where as PS3 will play BluRay Games,
They will both sell well, doesnt matter what one person thinks really there is millions of people in japan that will buy the PS3 and Millions in America that already own a 360. so its all pretty even
consumers will decide – price or power?
Soiftware and developer support makes or breaks a system.
***a 20 gb system for $499 and the 60 gb system for $599***
Wow. You can't even find desktop drives that small at your typical comp. store, and $100 for an extra 40gb is really gouging.
Also, how is the software, for that price +games can I make and edit my own levels and tracks for racing games? I don't care if a system has a 100ghzMegaOptioplex processor archetexture or can run 40 HD monitors at once, if I can't edit the damn games, forget it.
: a 20 gb system for $499 and the 60 gb system for $599
This should really heat up the war between Microsoft and Sony. I wonder what consumers will decide – price or power?

So I just spotted my second unwanted hitch hiker last night. I had found an emerald crab about a month ago and got him our and returned to the store that day. Last night I found a little fuzzy white crab in a nook in one of my rocks. I can't hey an id on it and I can't seem to get it. Any tips on how to catch him? I'm about to just take the rock out and try to dig into it to get him out. Also, is it safe to try and grab little crabs by hand? It's maybe .5 inches across is not less. Can a crab this small actually hurt of it pinches you? I feel ill have a better shot picking him out by hand than using a net.

Aw man!!! If I had a tank for these, I would offer to pay for shipping!
Posted 14 March 2012 - 09:46 AM
Put some food in a bottle, submerge it near the crab and wait for him to walk in and chow down, may take a little time but ive seen and heard of it working.
Posted 14 March 2012 - 10:24 AM
If I can get him he's up for grabs if someone tells me before I bring him to a store. And thanks dimi. ill try the bottle thing. Looks like I'm going crabbing after work today.
Posted 14 March 2012 - 10:26 AM
What else is in the tank with him btw? You can also string a piece of shrimp or fish and just wait for him to grab it(assuming hes carnivourous and not a filter feeder). Then just drag him out and net him in one quick swoop. This is salt water ill assume so no crab on my end
Posted 14 March 2012 - 07:22 PM
I ended up just picking the little bigger off the rock with my fingers. not too hard actually. It saw my fingers and ran to them and clung on for dear life. Lol. I got an I'd on it now too. A little gorilla crab. It's maybe a quarter inch from tip to tip of the legs. Really tiny. And the funny part is she's a mommy. Lol. Has a nice cluster of red eggs on her belly. It has me a little worried though since I haven't added anything new in a while I'm wondering if there is a male in there I haven't found yet. Guess ill be keeping a close eye in the tank for a while to see if he boyfriend comes looking for her. Lol

An evening with Manchester United legend Phil Neville, at The Bishop Blaize, generated £1,200 for a local charity.
The former Manchester United footballer was at the Stretford pub, for a question-and-answer event, to help to raise funds for the Manchester Children's Hospital, of which he is patron.
A total of 120 customers enjoyed the evening, hosted by compère Pete Boyle, which also included a three-course meal and entertainment from comedian Vince Atta.
A charity auction, as well as match-day fancy-dress events, amassed the fundraising total for the hospital.
Pub manager Ben Plunkett, pictured second right with (l to r) Vince Atta, Phil Neville and Pete Boyle, said: "The evening was a fantastic success. The pub was packed and we raised a great total for charity."

As the US Anti-Doping Agency prepares to present its case against seven-time Tour de France winner Lance Armstrong, the sport faces a crucial test of its credibility.
The Ryder Cup is contested every two years, but some things never change. Especially the hangers-on. George Bush Sr and Bill Clinton will cheer for the US, but the main interest will, as ever, be the battle of the Wags.
Worried about spiralling debts and the apparent inability of its members to control spending, UEFA launched Financial Fair Play, a first skirmish in the battle between the sport's old money and its nouveau riche.
Europe enjoys courtside dominance on the international tennis circuit at the moment and anything but a European victory in the men's single in this year's third Grand Slam would be a major upset.

Wherever you go, maybe to an obscure Caribbean island or to once mighty Italy, it seems that the football air is tainted.

The BET Awards took place in Los Angeles on Sunday night, with Nigeria's music sensation, Ayo Balogun, popularly known as Wizkid, bagging the award for the Best International Act (Africa).
Wizkid won the prestigious award alongside his Ghanaian counterpart, Sardokie.
The two artistes had been tipped favourites to win the award in a category which also had great artistes such as Africa Camp Mulla (Kenya), Ice Prince (Nigeria), Lira (South Africa), Mokobe (Mali).
This is the second major international award being won by Wizkid, after he won the award for Best African Act at the 2011 edition of the MOBO Awards!
It will be recalled that 2Face and D'Banj jointly won the BET awards in 2011.
Other big winners of the night included Nicki Minaj, Kanye West, and, of course, Jay-Z and his wife Beyoncé.
The show which was anchored by veteran movie star, Samuel L. Jackson, kicked off with a Kanye-induced bang as the rapper, decked in all-white, joined 2 Chainz and eventual Best New Artist winner, Big Sean, to perform their rap hit "Mercy".
Other performances at the event came from the likes of Usher, Nicki Minaj, Melanie Fiona, D'angelo(!), Rick Ross and his on-fire Maybach Music Group, and Chris Brown.
The night also featured an extensive Whitney Houston tribute, which brought out a long list of guests to commemorate the late singer, including: Monica, Brandy (who sang "I'm Your Baby Tonight" and "I Wanna Dance With Somebody"), Whitney's mother Cissy Houston (singing "Bridge Over Troubled Water"), and none other than Chaka Khan, who performed "I'm Every Woman".

Free Aim.
MP in soft aim is completely fucked due to the OHK rifle and dual smgs, so better to learn free aim in SP.
I'm slightly disappointed that Max Payne 3 took no cues from Stranglehold and bring it ever closer to that John Woo feel.

Free aim all the way. I found it way too easy with soft lock in most parts. I actually found the dudes in body armor harder in soft lock because I would always aim for their chest.
Finished this a couple of days ago. Really enjoyed it.Good game.

They say "A picture is worth a million words" and with this Premium Graphics Megapack you're going to crush it!
Your credibility depends on it… Let me explain.
When you're selling stuff online, your online visitors doesn't interact with you personally as compare to offline.
The first thing they see is your website. Your website = You!
If the look and feel of your site is ugly, there's a great chance, customers won't be interested to read what you've to offer to them. They won't approach you because the first look is that you're not professional enough.
Many marketers tend to neglect this critical part when talking about website conversions.
They only tend to think that copywriting only is important but honestly, from my personal experience, this is wrong.
I've had websites with excellent sales copy but with ugly graphics, it didn't convert well. But a nice design always turns on the visitors and make them interested to read the content.
So never neglect this when you're trying to sell online.
Graphics are important and you need them badly for your sites!
Now for a limited time only, you can Get Premium Graphics Megapack at a very low price.
You don't always need to pay expensive graphic designers to get your site stand out of the crowd.

Asked on May 10, 2012 - 06:12 UTC
Looks like there is a problem with completed task that have been indented to the right and then completed. They are not in the list of the count of Show completed tasks (0) so I can't delete them of the proyect to go to the completed count on the top right of the page.

Hello Luis,
sub-tasks always stay on your task list for as long as their parent task hasn't been completed.
However, you can force a sub-task to move to the "completed tasks" list if you hold down the SHIFT key while checking it off.
Best regards,

Goat Simulator is a humorous game made by a Swedish independent studio Coffee Stain. Absurd crazy goats simulator project was created essentially by accident.

In this situation, developers had no other choice than to refine the game and release it on the market. Coffee Stain Studios was known so far mainly with its series of Sanctum, which is a combination of tower defense games with FPS-s.
The Goat Simulator players take on the role of unruly goats named Pilgor and have the mind to cause the greatest damage. The game combines elements of many absurd and is a decidedly humorous. In the game there are such bugs, such as unnaturally extending neck goats, or the ability to enter by our four-legged heroine of the ladder, but they were left intentionally by the developers ("bugs are a feature"). Goat Pilgor running with outstretched tongue, by which it can catch various objects (such as an ax) that with their help to make even greater damage.
The game is equipped with a set of tools for modding, which offers digital distribution platform Steam (Steam Workshop). As a result, the production of the fans create new challenges and items.
Goat Simulator is based on the Unreal Engine technology, graphic design is so realistic, which only enhances the absurd atmosphere of the game.

Dating back to 1760, Lanson is one of the oldest Champagne houses and their rose is a perennial favourite.
With aromas of strawberries and a hint of toastiness, this is bright, fresh and mouthwateringly crisp.
Makes a great aperitif - and loves smoked salmon nibbles too.
This wine is ideal for drinking now but can be kept for up to 2 years

Olly Smith - Event Magazine, Mail on Sunday 23/02/2014
"For the very best quality, look for 'Grand Cru' on the label: Lanson Rosé is hugely popular."
This delicate champagne, in keeping with the Lanson style, was one of the first rosé champagnes . Today the House enjoys more than 50 years of experience in making rosé champagne, which makes Lanson Rose Label one of the most popular rose champagnes for its characteristic freshness, typical of Black Label and of the Lanson champagnes.

The Champagne terroir has two major distinguishing features: northerly latitude and a dual climate that is subject to oceanic and continental influences alike. The subsoil in Champagne is predominantly limestone. This type of subsoil provides good drainage and also imparts that particular mineral flavour found in certain Champagne wines.

Halloween is here. That means it's time to spend pain-staking amounts of effort to carve and sculpt loving homages to your favorite movie and television personalities into pumpkins. Then, once your work of art is perfected, lovingly place it on the front porch for the neighborhood kids to smash and ruin. While that might seem like a lot of hard work gone to waste, there's something cathartic about watching a pumpkin with Oprah's picture carved into it getting smashed to oblivion.
Enjoy the Jack-o'-lanterns. Happy Halloween.

The tool "Sigfind" performs a search for a defined hexadecimal value within a defined image or file. We can use this in analyzing digital images to find partitions. There are many reasons for doing this, one would be in finding corrupted partitions.
The tool will find and output the sector where the match was located.
The way it is used is:
sigfind -b 512 -l -o 510 Image.dd
Now, all Windows partitions are the same in many ways. We can find partitions and the MBR as the Hex value 0x55AA always comes in the final 2-bytes of the MBR. This can be corrupted, but it is a good place to start looking.
This is:
- The last two bytes of a Microsoft Windows partition are 0X55 and 0XAA
- The last two bytes of a Partition Table partition are 0X55 and 0XAA
Using this information, it is possible to recover formatted drives.
Knowing that MBR is located at the start of the drive and that it is a fixed size in non-dynamic drives, we can thus skip the first 510-bytes. Hence run:
sigfind -b 512 -o 510 55AA Image.dd
The output of this command is listed below. I will write more on this another time, but knowing where the partition starts allows us to know where we can start to carve partitions (using the offsets and DD).
$sigfind -b 512 -o 510 55AA Image.dd
Block size: 512 Offset: 510 Signature: 55AA
Block: 0 (-)
Block: 63 (+63) MBR (MS Boot Sectors end in 55AA)
Block: 323836 (+323773)
Block: 820512 (+496676)
Block: 820575 (+63) One of the Partitions
Block: 1026144 (+205569) (Can you say which one?)
Block: 1026207 (+63)
