Over the hill
As of this moment, the Cubs have the best record in the National League and are dueling with the Angels for the best in the majors. They have been carried by their potent offense, which has scored the most runs per game of any NL team at 5.33 per. Not to go unmentioned is their pitching, specifically their starting rotation, which has an ERA of 3.46. Carlos Zambrano, Rich Harden, Ryan Dempster, Ted Lilly, and Jason Marquis have certainly been getting the job done, but one name is ominously missing from that list, the name of a pitcher who in the preseason was thought to be the ace or at least the number two of the Cubs pitching staff.
That name is Rich Hill. Most people have probably forgotten about Rich Hill, except for those beleaguered souls that drafted him, probably in the late single-digit rounds, only to get 19.2 innings of 4.12 ERA. If you even held onto him that long. Although his ERA doesn't show it, Hill was having massive control problems and disastrous outings. In those 19.7 innings he issued 18 walks. In other words, he walked one of every five batters he faced. Completely unacceptable.
After a 0.7 innings pitched with four walks performance on May 2, the Cubs felt they had seen enough and optioned Hill down to Triple-A where he brought his control problems with him. In 26 Triple-A innings, Hill remarkably managed to raise his BB% two points to 22 percent. Realizing that their pitcher had completely forgotten how to pitch, the Cubs wisely sent Hill all the way down to Rookie League to work on his… well everything.
Before I move forward with things, first I'd like to take one step back. Hill was drafted in the fourth round of the 2002 draft. In his first two years of pro-ball existence, Hill toiled away in different classes of Single-A. Then came 2005.
Year Level IP ERA BB/9 K/9 2003 A-/A 97.2 3.87 6.27 13.73 2004 A+ 109.1 4.03 5.93 11.20 2005 AA 57.2 3.28 3.28 14.06 2005 MLB 23.2 9.13 6.46 7.98 2006 AAA 100 1.80 1.89 12.15 2006 MLB 99.1 4.17 3.53 8.15 2007 MLB 195 3.92 2.91 8.45
That year, Hill made the jump from Double-A to the majors as a September call-up. He started 2006 in Triple-A where he flat-out dominated, most notably walking just 1.89 batters per nine innings. When initially called up to the majors in May of '06, Hill struggled and was sent back down. By July however, Hill was back in the majors and found success. His walk rate did creep up to a slightly alarming level, but Hill had pitched well enough to secure himself a spot in the rotation next year.
Any doubts remaining about Hill were erased completely in 2007. He managed to curb his walk rate to an above-average 2.91 per nine while increasing his already impressive strikeout rate ever so slightly. To anyone looking at Rich Hill coming into the 2008 season, he looked very, very good. Great numbers were expected of the tall lefty entering his prime.
The Present
As we know, that didn't happen. Here's what Hill's 2008 season looked like, if you can even call it a season:
Year Level IP ERA BB/9 K/9 2008 MLB 19.2 4.12 8.24 6.26
It looks like a completely different pitcher, even though the sample size is just twenty innings. The first thing that jumps out at you is the 8.24 BB/9. Anytime a pitcher's walk rate is higher than his strikeout rate, you know there's trouble, like with Fausto Carmona this year. It is important to note that it was not luck indicators like BABIP or Left On Base percentage that caused his demise—Hill actually benefited a lot from these (.214 BABIP, 78.8 LOB%)—and if anything they helped keep his ERA down at the palatable 4.12 that it was. Instead it was his walk rate, strikeout rate, and his fly ball rate—which jumped seven percentage points up to 50 percent—or in other words, his skill indicators that deteriorated. Hill simply forgot how to throw the ball in the strike zone and get batters out.
Final Thoughts
This offseason Hill is obviously going to have to "re-learn" how to pitch again. I'll admit, I have no definite reason why, but I feel Hill will reinvent himself in the winter and will prove himself again next season. He probably will start 2009 in the minors but if he starts off well, I don't think the Cubs will waste much time in promoting him back to the majors. He has already proven himself at this level, so it won't be anything new for him.
I don't believe anyone has started mock drafting for next season—at least I hope nobody has—but I wouldn't be surprised if Rich Hill falls all the way out of most drafts. That makes him a player to watch as the offseason progresses; Hill could end up being a good sleeper you can pick up in the last rounds of drafts. In the last rounds, after all, it is all about getting upside, and Hill has plenty of it.

Hello, new here. i like the 'novice' list title, that about describes me. part-time hacker, casual coder, would also be good descriptions. have a one-table database holding descriptive records of catalogued books. normally I would output data in a delimited format and use a perl script to do all the formatting to turn the data into a full html table. I have done this very successfully from my old database _but_ this would export individual <field names> as field delimiters which made it easier to write the script than, as with postgresql, where we have a uniformly delimited output. as a general road map. Is it possible to create output with all the necessary html code for a table (font attributes and the like) direct from postgresql (using a psql command)? One command and bingo, one table ready to drop into my waiting html page? would this normally be done perhaps with a file that could be called by psql. This file with all the psql query commands/options and the html formatting code within? or should I rather create a new perl script to do the dirty? if the former, can you please point me to some understandable 'howto' or other documentation. bestest & thanks for help Anne

Ratings for Dr. Ihab E. Hawary
Thank you dr Hawary and your kind staff. I had bleaching done that gave such a beautiful dazzling smile that exceeded my expectation. The experience overall was great and the assistant Michelle was very friendly. There was no pain and I was watching TV through the whole process that finished before I even realize. Thank you again I can not be happier.
I love my smile by Dr Hawary.i m very happy and more confident about my smile and I show it off all the time.it is an amazing feeling to have beautiful smile done by one of the best cosmetic dentist in the world.Dr Hawary is a fellow of American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry.if you re thinking of having smile make over ,Dr Hawary is the only one in Orange County that has the qualifications to make your dreams come through,call them today at 949-955-3366
Thank you Dr. Hawary for your patience and caring. Most dentists I have seen in my life have not been as gentle as you. I also appreciate the information you provide and your general knowledge of dentistry. Thank you again so much for helping my mother with her new teeth, she loves her new beutiful smile.
I had the most crooked front teeth that embarresed me all my life until I met dr Emil Hawary that did phenomenal improvement to my smile with invisalign and two veneers to fix my broken two front teeth. Now my confidence is back and I can not stop smilling thanks to this incredibly caring talented dentist.
I LOST MY FRONT TOOTH IN A SPORT ACCIDENT. IT WAS SUCH A TERRIFYING EXPERIENCE, BUT THAN GOT i FOUND THIS SUPER TALANTED DENTIST THAT HAS SUCH EXPERIENCE AND CREDENTILS AND TRAINING. HE WAS ABLE TO PERFORM IMMDIATE PLACEMENT AND A FIXED TEMPORARY IN THE SAME DAYAND THREE MONTH LATER I GOT A NEW TOOTH THAT BLEND PERFECTLY AS IF NOTHING HAD HAPPENED i CAN NOT THANK DR EMIL ENOUGH
I had a few chipped front teeth. Dr Hawary was very patient with me and explained everything about how this process would go. After we did my initial consult it was only 2 weeks from start to finish. I got 2 Veneers and a full teeth bleaching which made a u huge difference in my smile. This was 2 years ago and I still feel great. I would recommend Dr Hawary to anyone wanting to get cosmetic work.
Best advise given to me 10 years ago, "If you don't regularly see a dentist, well you should!!" Literally happy to be Dr Hawary's patient. Went to my 1st consult in '05 and while I tried to find other dentists prior to '08, I couldn't find anyone else. I'm addicted to their dental spa because they treat you so well there. Not to make fun of my grill but he noticed my teeth were thin after my first few visits. My teeth are thin because of my childhood sickness and he's helped me keep them nice. I don't have expensive veneers.. I just carry my natural cheesy smile. Can't say that his practice is pricey because they've always worked with me and I've found the prices aren't out of the norm or any different from the surrounding dentists. I've heard of plenty dental horror stories out there and really.. I wouldn't trust anyone else with my pearly whites. Thank God for Dr Hawary
this is a very unethical, incompetent and negligent dentist. He charged a lot upfront and do not return your money when he delivered disastrous results. He claimed because your body caused his failure. Stay away from this dentist if you want good dental health. We are litigation process for his poor dental work.

The blink-and-it's-over season of Looking wraps up on Sunday night.
Jonathan Groff spoke about the finale with The Hollywood Reporter and the journey of his character, Patrick:
When we meet Patrick, he's awkwardly in the woods, uncomfortable but trying to expand and find a new side to himself and putting himself out there. We see a huge evolution in him reflected through his relationship with Richie (Raul Castillo), and then with Kevin, there's a lot of sexual tension. By the end of the finale, he's gotten himself into a really tight spot because he's dealing with the repercussions of letting himself go. He went from not having a boyfriend to having these two amazing men interested in him, and they are two very specific, wonderfully confusing relationships. He doesn't know where to turn.
Everything definitely comes to a head, and the characters take a giant step forward. Whether that's for the better or worse, it's hard to say.
He also speaks a bit about next season:
I'd love to spend more time with Agustin and Dom because in the first season they spend a lot of time apart. And I definitely want to go deeper into the triangle of Patrick, Kevin and Richie. They have both been upped to series regulars for season two, so I think they're going to explore more of that, obviously.
Watch a preview for the finale and a very brief clip, AFTER THE JUMP...
What do you want to see next season?
Is Dom's opening night going to be a disaster?

Though I'm Often Mistaken For Onebecause I have no social skills and apparently look pissed off whenever I'm not smiling. I wish people didn't think that about me.
I have to cut in on this debate. As my friend MissLily pointed out, you do have to let people know, through body language that you would enjoy a conversation. Or you could even start one yourself if you felt like it. I do see your point though. I have some of that problem occasionally too. Not that I am not content most of the time, but usually when I go about my normal buisness my mind is somewhere far away on issues and things going on in my life, so I am not necessarily smiling, half to most of the time, I would say the opposite. Not frowning fiercely but sorta neutral. I have had people ask me what I was angry about before though. LOl Which totally blew me away because I wasn't angry at the time, just tired or my mind was wondering. My eight year old daughter has even commented on it. I play guitar and it seems that when I am playing, I usually don't smile but have more of a frown on my face. I know its because I am trying to concentrate, but my daughter didn't get it at first and asked me what I was angry about. Now she knows different and the other day she even told her friend who was over, while I was playing guitar, not to worry because I was not angry, I just looked that way when I was playing because I was consentrating. Which I found quite halarious. Anyway i wouldn't worry about it to much. Smile when you are happy, frown when you are sad or angry and otherwise just be yourself. If people do not like you for who you are then they aren't worth talking to anyway. Otherwise they will start a conversation with you if they really want to, or if you see someone your interested in talking to try to start one yourself. It doesn't even have to be something big. Just start by saying hello and go from there.
Don't worry. I don't think you are trying to argue... you are just expressing your view. I'm not either. I'm expressing a view and I feel it is a very important point so I hope it helps. I have to ask you: if you are concerned with these issues then what are you doing to address them? War, poverty, depression.... Why wait for others to take care of that? I've heard the best way to combat these things is through ourselves and by generating compassion.. I think this is true even if it is hard sometimes. Yes we are all unique individuals but when we see others as all just "others not like me" it gets in the way and makes compassion difficult and that is precisely why we have so much war, anger, and sadness.

One more thing I'd like to point out is that when I go to the grocery store and I don't want to talk to people I sort of frown or look disinterested. I think to most people that means: "I dont' want a conversation. Leave me alone!" (At least I hope it does) If you want to converse you have to let people know it is okay because most people are probably just trying to be respectful and stay out of your way. I'm glad we have that or people would be bugging me all day when I'm are just trying to get chores done.

Maybe you think 99.9 of smiles are phony but how do you know, really? There are so many reasons to smile. One could simply be for your own benefit. Cause you want to feel good. Whats wrong with that?

I'm not arguing that people should smile 24/7 but I think its silly to complain about people smiling.... I know 99.9 are not fake. Some are but that is not our problem, is it?

Maybe you don't feel like smiling all that much so it doesn't show in your eyes (as jewlraider pointed out) or people aren't used to your smiling so the are confused. I've seen pictures of me when I was not smiling all that well. Ugh. (I'm not good at smiling for cameras because that is fake - lol!)
Hey FK, I never used the word smile or said fake pretend to care. I just ment that we have to try and show more concern for others even when we are depressed. Especially when we are depressed. cultivating that can help you. It has little to do with alieviating your own loneliness. Its more to do with altruism or karma or something. I'm sorry if I'm not conveying my point properly.

People can't relate to you if you refuse to relate to them. I'm depressed to. I've just been thru a separation. I'm have yet to take care of the legal aspects. So yeah..

I've gotten that remark before too. Everyone isn't so different after all.
I get that, too. I always look pissed off if I'm not smiling. Then I'd get "you should smile more often." I'm really good at giving a hairy eyeball, so that's their punishment for saying so...but heck...if someone can brighten my day, the smile is on.
Sorry RT, I didn't mean to make it sound like inward looking poeple don't care about others. I'm one a lot of the (or I used to be at least) I just ment that we have to show it a little better. force ourselfs to come out an show our concern for others so that we don't appear to not care. If that makes any sense. And the balance is not going overboard and ignoring your own problems in favor of others.
I can definitely relate. I know I seem really friendly and stuff online, but if you met me offline, you would see that I don't smile or talk much...but that doesn't mean I don't care about people.
I used to have this problem and maybe still do sometimes.. It reflects inner happiness. People misinterpret it as outward unhappiness toward them. I agree with jewlraider. Those things will help... But also you have to just learn be more interested in the people around you. Not dwell on the internal issues but be concerned about others too. Its hard to find a balance sometimes, especially if your life is at a low point but it can be done.
Try to smile more, look people in the eye and smile with your eyes. You don't have to say anything. If you project that you are happy with yourself others will pick up on this. Find a friend that will help you work on your social skills or go places where you can observe other people in action.

The Venue closes in Clearwater
If you're wondering why we haven't brought you any news about DJs, rappers and celebrities bringing their talents to The Venue in Clearwater recently, here's your explanation.
The Venue, a sprawling multi-level nightclub on Ulmerton Road, has closed amid myriad financial difficulties. It is being sold and may reopen, its previous owners say, but a sale is taking longer than expected.
This is a blow to the live music scene, in that theclub had, in the past year, expanded its stage in order to bring in more live performances.In addition to its wildly popular service industry night on Mondays, DJs like Avicii, Steve Aoki, Paul Oakenfold, DJ Jazzy Jeff, LMFAO's Sky Blu and Jersey Shore's Pauly D have all performed there. But so have pop, hip-hop and even a few rock acts, such as Flo Rida (above), Iyaz, Paper Tongues, The Script, Miguel, George Clinton, Modern English and Vanilla Ice. Heck, in 2009, Diddy threw his Super Bowl party there.
For more on the closing of the Venue, click here for Laura Reiley and Katherine Snow Smith's story.

I met up with the makers of Whimsy & Spice at a holiday fair at Christmas, and have no idea how I forgot to write about them! [thank goodness for Etsy!] Whimsy & Spice is a delicious company out of Brooklyn that makes sweets all with a dash of spice…chocolate gingersnaps, cardamom marshmallows….they're all dee-lish, and you can work with them to create favors for your guests, or pop a few cookies into OOT bags. Your guests will love you.
[images from Whimsy & Spice]
I recently received a package of yummy cookies from Erin at O'Cookies. Being that they are healthy [no trans fats and organic] I was a little skeptical about the taste…but having sampled the White Chocolate Cranberry Oat and the Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Oat, I'm a total convert. You won't have to feel guilty about giving these little guys as favors to your guests!
O'Cookies is our original line of decadent healthy treats. Offered in a few varieties of wholesome flavors, O'Cookies prides itself in the fact that all cookies produced are completely organic and low in fat and cholesterol. Oh, yeah, they also have no trans fats, or hydrogenated oils…
Only the highest-quality chocolates and naturally dried fruits are used. Our cookies are made with a whole wheat flour blend for optimal health, unrefined sugars and egg whites only. Very little butter is used along with fruits that keep O'Cookies down in the fat and cholesterol content and only contain "good for you" calories to get you through your day and satisfy that hungering for something sweet.

Yay for Brooklyn weddings!
We chose the Brooklyn Bridge Park for our ceremony. We set up our chuppah and our wedding party on the pebble beach and our guests were seated on the steps leading down to the beach (complete with bottles of water – lovingly labeled by our friends – and mats to sit on). Ari's best friend officiated; he and Ari wrote the ceremony together.
Brooklyn-Queens Conservatory of Music musicians, led by guitarist Ron Jackson, played at the ceremony – "Your Hand in Mine," by Explosions in the Sky while everyone in the wedding, including Ari and his parents, walked down the aisle, and The Beatles' "Here, There and Everywhere," when I walked down the aisle.
Our dear friend and wedding planner, Viva Max Kaley (who was full of great ideas and immensely helpful to us and without whom our wedding wouldn't have been the same) recommended reBar in Dumbo, just a short walk from the park, and we were thrilled with it. It's a great space with a lot of character, which is great because you don't have to go crazy designing a look. We had an afternoon cocktail party reception as opposed to a formal sit-down dinner; the atmosphere was fun and relaxed and exactly what we were looking for. As people walked in we served lemonade in mason jars with flags stirrers in each one that said A <3 C, each flag handmade by one of my best friends.
Jonathan Sklute was our DJ and he was fabulous. We gave him a list of songs that we liked and he was super easy to work with. We were happy to see everyone on the dance floor.
We decided on cupcakes and a mini cake for us to cut – one of my friends made the cupcakes (frosted in rainbow colors) and her mom made the cake, both of which were amazing. We got our adorable owl topper from the talented and super nice Lauren Bradshaw. We also served ice cream sandwiches at the end of the party – we got them from One Girl Cookie in Brooklyn and they were a big hit.
We used local vendors wherever possible and were thrilled to discover Brooklyn Cookie on this very blog. Their Brooklyn Bridge Cookie was perfect and delicious.
Charlotte Jenks Lewis was our photographer and she and her videographer did an amazing job. They were so nice to work with and captured everything beautifully. We've gotten great feedback from everyone who has seen our photos and video and we love looking at them ourselves.
Viva Max Kaley recommended Hatch Creative Studio and they were amazing. They were so much fun to work with and came up with the most beautiful and unique designs. I wasn't sure what I wanted but they listened to my thoughts and took it from there and their flowers were gorgeous. The groom and groomsmen wore buttons on their lapels as boutonnieres instead of flowers. Barb at Hatch came up with this idea and we loved it. The groomsmen wore buttons that said Carly <3 Ari Brooklyn, NY and the date, and Ari's button said I Love Carly. They were perfect.
Our invitations were Kate Spade, ordered through Kate's Paperie. They were kelly green on white and felt fresh and summery, which was exactly what we were looking for.
My dress (and veil) came from The White Gown in Brooklyn and my bridesmaids wore navy dresses with pink sashes from Coren Moore.
I wore the Kate Spade 'Gilee' slingback heel – they were a sort of metallic gold fabric. I decided to go with these instead of white because I know I'll wear them again.
Dora Peterson of Roy Teeluck Salon did my hair and Keri Berman did my makeup – they are both a pleasure to work with and amazing at what they do.

ARLINGTON, Va – GW students, along with other supporters of Sen. Barack Obama, continued to campaign for the Democratic presidential nominee today by knocking on doors in northern Virginia and encouraging supporters to vote.
At homes in a neighborhood here, they provided information to Obama supporters about polling locations.
"This is really about telling people to get out and vote," said senior Daniel Malin, a student going door-to-door for Obama today in northern Virginia. "We are only going to Obama supporters today to try and get the numbers up at the polls."
He added, "I've been canvassing for the past few days and I really do feel like we are making a significant difference."

TORONTO — Justin Verlander was picking up the check. The steaks and wine were on him, and why not?
He had just pitched the second no-hitter of his career, and after he made sure the Blue Jays pretty much came nowhere near the ball, he made sure his teammates came nowhere near the bill.
Fresh off the 9-0 victory, Verlander went for dinner at Barberian's Steak House in downtown Toronto.
"A great night," Verlander said. "It was fantastic. Probably one of the best dinners I've ever had."
C Alex Avila, RHPs Rick Porcello and Max Scherzer, utilityman Don Kelly and video coordinator Jeremy Kelch joined Verlander for an evening of food, drink and cigars in the wine cellar of the historic restaurant.
"To be honest, the thing I'm going to remember is having dinner with those guys," Verlander said. "It was a pretty intimate setting, not a lot of guys, just a small group."
Avila, who caught the no-hitter, echoed his batterymate's sentiments.
"Those times are the best, when you can just enjoy something like that, celebrate something as historic as a no-hitter with people you care about," Avila said. "It was a good time, a good meal. It was definitely the best steak and the best wine I've ever had."
Verlander, a self-described "filet connoisseur," picked up the tab after ordering several high-priced bottles of wine to accompany the steaks.
"I don't think I could make those guys pay for that," he said.
In truth, the only ones paying for Verlander's brilliant Saturday were the Blue Jays, who managed just a walk against the Tigers right-hander.
"You could certainly tell from the dugout he sniffed it," Toronto manager John Farrell said. "In the last three innings, he almost took on a closer's mentality and he stepped on it for sure. The fact that he's thrown a couple of no-hitters isn't an accident. He was better than every guy that stepped to the plate."
ROYALS-NATIONALS TRADE: Kansas City traded minor-league OF Gregor Blanco to Washington for a player to be named.
ANGELS: 1B Kendrys Morales plans to travel to Vail, Colo., this week to get a second opinion on his broken left foot from foot and ankle specialist Dr. Thomas Clanton. Morales has not played since breaking his ankle nearly a year ago.
ASTROS: OF Jason Bourgeois went on the 15-day disabled list, and the contract of INF Joe Inglett was bought from Triple-A Oklahoma City to take his place on the roster.
A'S: Closer Andrew Bailey, out all season with a forearm injury, felt good a day after throwing live batting practice and could start a minor-league rehab assignment within 10 days.
MARLINS: LF Logan Morrison, who was batting .327 with a .424 on-base percentage and a .636 slugging percentage when he went on the disabled list April 21 with a strained left foot, could be cleared to begin a rehab assignment today.
METS: RHP Chris Young went on the disabled list with shoulder tightness that prevented him from making his last start. LHP Johan Santana was transferred to the 60-day DL to free up space on the 40-man roster.
PHILLIES: C Carlos Ruiz went on the 15-day disabled list because of inflammation in his back.
RED SOX: SS Marco Scutaro went on the 15-day disabled list with a strained oblique. SS Jose Iglesias was called up from Triple-A Pawtucket. Iglesias is considered one of the team's top prospects but was batting .253 with no extra-base hits and two walks in 24 games at Pawtucket.

What's Yours Is Mine.
Release Date: 25 February 2014 Developed by: Edios Montreal
Engine: Unreal Engine 3 Published by: Square Enix
Platforms: Xbox 360, Xbox One, Playstation 3, Playstation 4, PC
Genre: Stealth
Thief is an enigma. I love it and I hate it. Despite all the frustrating and negative aspects of Thief, I had loads of fun like looting every collectable I could get my hands on in an entire chapter without being spotted and triggering an impressive set of side quests/optional missions I had at my disposal to complete. But, I also recall experiencing a boring story filled with generic and bland characters, not to mention the technical issues I had to bear with that murdered immersion.
A pure stealth game is what Thief is, sneaking by, picking locks and knocking enemies, then pulling their bodies to the dark so they can't be seen, every enemy encounter is a challenge. How about I use my water arrow to turn the light over there and stick to the shadows or wait, should I put an arrow between that guards eyes or wait for the appropriate moment to make my move when he's not looking without causing any chaos?
That's what Thief excels at and it provides a wide range of tools and upgrades at your disposal, water, fire, sawtooth(lethal), choke arrows, and other items like the razor, wrench to help you disable traps or find hidden locations, Edios Montreal should have opted for more tools to use.
There's also the focus ability which is similar to Eagle Vision in Assassin's Creed, it functions to highlight certain things like collectables,traps and secret passages, there's also focus points for you to buy/earn by completing certain missions. Like the game's title implies, Garret the protagonist, steals pretty much anything from valuable shiny items which is pretty much Garret's objective in nearly every mission to useless junk.
The A.I isn't brilliant by any means, at times the guards would look right at me in light and they'd let me off the hook, or when am behind them they detect me instantly. They can still hear you when your not crouching carefully or notice certain things like why did that door open by itself or who turned off the lights.
However,despite their hiccups, you don't want underestimate enemies in Thief, you don't want to be around when things go south, because combat is so frustrating,repetitive and easy when your up against one enemy, its simply a tale of dodge and counter and it goes around for like a minute or two.
But Thief is all about stealth and I rarely resorted to combat.The "Swoop" (dashing) helped from getting detected numerous times, its an amazing feature. When your in danger of detection you simply swoop back into the shadows, and it can be really helpful when your crossing gaps in the shadows.
Thief's world design is exactly like Deus Ex Human Revolution, you can traverse "The City" which is a mixture of narrow streets, rooftops and an extremely horrendous city hub map. I spent my entire time there completing side quests and looting everything I see shine which was the best part of my experience with Thief.
On the other hand, the most frustrating part of Thief, (especially when your not on a mission and just exploring) is the awkward controls and movement. Garrett is just bad at leaping so If you get to a gap you have to clear, it'll trick you into making you'll be able to make it but you end up falling to your death.
And the other painful thing is dropping down, When you want to drop down from a ledge, half the time the game will not let you do it automatically, which gives you the impression that maybe you're not supposed to do it but turns out you can.
Furthermore, you can't explore The City peacefully without any interruptions now can you? Loading screens will always pop up and will last about 10-30 seconds, which is pretty ridiculous for a next-gen game. Another thing which is absolutely ridiculous for a next-gen game is the choppy frame rate (especially in cut-scenes) and frequent texture pop-ins which quickly decimated the experience and made it an absolute pain especially when your exploring The City to buy items and trigger side quests ,hearing NPC's say the same thing over and over again was just brutal.
As for the story and its supernatural elements, they didn't interest me at all. The dialogue is lame, the characters are bland, everything is generic and uninteresting. The variety in the locations kept my curiosity aroused like the brothel or the creepy asylum which amplified the experience and its a shame because besides those two levels, everything else is narrow and awfully linear with few alternative pathways.
And I kept digging and seeking those branching pathways to collect everything and solve some fantastic and challenging puzzles, and there's also a rating system at the end of each chapter which will show you your playing style, and it'll encourage you to go back, try your best and get everything form the chapter. Along side the solid soundtrack, the Voice acting in Thief, is some of the worst I've seen in recent years and the lip syncing is even worse. Romano Orzarim, the new voice actor for Garret is the only voice actor in Thief performed well.
Thief is a very challenging game, you can customize the difficulty by dropping or adding certain aspects in the gameplay or the world like the focus mechanic or the auto save feature to increase your score, it took me about approximately 11 hours to complete Thief on Master difficulty (Hardest without tampering with the difficulty) and you can always come back to collect every document, collectable or trophy (achievement), that adds about five hours more.
I'd like to recommend the PC version of Thief for a silky smooth 1080p60 experience, and do avoid the PS4 version at all costs would you? Even though its 1080p, The X1 (900p) is superior because is has the more stable frame rate.
Hardcore fans will be disappointed with Thief's resurrection despite the solid stealth mechanics.
Pros: Brilliant stealth mechanics mixed with fantastic set pieces, puzzles, side quests and a solid soundtrack.
Cons: A flat story filled with bland, generic characters with massive technical issues and an awful level design, not as awful as the frustrating city map.

Few days before the release of actress Mona Chopra's film "Naughty Boy", it seems that someone has played really naughty with her and which is in a "bad taste", as the actress puts it. An MMS clip showing Mona undressing herself has been circulated all over.
I've been reading this story for the past few days and finally relented and decided to document it here. If this isn't the biggest and best example of smart PR spin, I don't know what is. A few days before her film hits the silverscreens and everyone's sending a movie, apparently of her undressing, from mobile to mobile? Who knows. I'm pleased to see more and more adoption of the technologgy though.

For some reason, Australian bands have been lately surprising me. Perhaps it's just me, because I seem to be in a spree of discovering bands from that country, but there's always something interesting in the prog-related genres there. I've been recently listening to alternative "proggy" rock bands, such as Karnivool and The Butterfly Effect, and I'm finding this band to share some aspects in their music.
I remembered Chaos Divine for being yet another mediocre melodic death metal band that tried too hard to sound "extreme", often grazing core elements. This album is far from that and they decided to leave the MDM approach and move towards a more progressive metal sound retaining some "extreme" metal elements which are often compromised of growls and occasional heavier riffing. The basic formula is simple, yet effective.
Vocals seem to be the biggest improvement. I'd say it's 85% clean vocals and 15% growls, and some songs don't have growls at all. They are definitely emotional and fit songs perfectly, yet there are some minor weak parts here and there, but I think the singer is definitely improving his clean vocals. Growls are a nice break from all the clean stuff and seem to be in the right spots. Diction is crystal clear, and this is another factor I'm finding in common with other Australian bands (and I sure as hell can't understand an Aussie speaking, so it's not that the accent is the reason). I really like his vocal work in "Silence" and "No Road Home (Solastalgia)" (listen to the harmonization in this song!, for example, during the verse that starts with "desperate, clutching straws")
The guitar work is a blend of simple, typical alternative rock riffs and some moderate technical playing which often resembles progressive metal bands like Dream Theater (e.g.: "Silence"). They are often placed in the background, yet still define each song, but suddenly you are hit by a very catchy riff, making a song stand out from the rest. An example of this is "Beautiful Abyss" at 03:30. Some melodies do remind me of MDM bands, like Scar Symmetry (the aforementioned song's main theme is a good example). Again, "No Road Home (Solastalgia)" features the best guitar compositions of the album and it's one of the few songs that has a solo.
Drum work is quite good too, but it is not the band's strongest component. While the drummer seems to be rock solid (at least in the studio, and I do know that the mixer can fix mistakes), I can't seem to remember fills or drum patterns that were outstanding. I do like what he did in my favorite song, "No Road Home (Solastalgia)", especially during the intro that's written in a complex time signature. Unfortunately, this is the only song in which I remember the drum work for standing out.
Finally, production is perfect, total up to today's standards. I'm not surprised as this was mixed and mastered by Jens Bogren, a celebrity when talking about audio engineers. There's not much else to say about this: it's clear, it's heavy, each instrument can be properly heard, vocal and keyboard arrangements are sweet… the man is a genius.
To close up, I think that all songs are well balanced. The album starts great and follows nicely (track 2 reminds me of Be'lakor and Insomnium on some parts), with some decrement in quality on tracks 3 and 4, rising up again on tracks 5 and 6. There's a dive on track 7, which I think could have been left out of this album. It is definitely the most try-hard song of the album and kind of fails at doing so. The next track is slightly better, but I'm not really liking the vocals. Fortunately the last song makes you easily forget about this and closes up the album magnificently. It's definitely the best track and I hope they focus on its songwriting for their next efforts.
• 1. One Door
• 4. Chasing Shadows

Skate with Black Butter and Capers Mon Nov 08 09:58:08 GMT 2010
Excellent recipe. Tried it for the first time on Saturday and it is definitely a winner. The lemon and capers provide just the right amount of acidity to balance the dish. Will be using this one again.

Notch, creator of the still-growing sensation Minecraft, is getting married this weekend and to celebrate, he and the crew at Mojang are ignoring Bethesda's lawsuit over Scrolls offering a special deal for those looking to jump in on the fun before the game releases in full in November.
If you still don't own Minecraft, you need to change that. It's already available at a great low price, and this deal makes it that much better, so read on to find out how to join the other 10 million registered users and why Minecraft has already sold 3 million copies.
The theme of the sale, announced today on Notch's blog, is that you and your loved one can play together for the price of one. It's the excuse you're looking for to get the game for yourself and at the same time, passing the game to your significant other or friend. Then, you can jump online and play together, build your first home together, travel the high seas, get blown up by creepers and other romantic stuff.
Here's how the deal works:
- Buy a copy of Minecraft (not a gift code) here.
- A free gift code will then be added to your account.
- See your gift code here.
- To pass the gift code to someone else, have them enter the code here.
- You're done. Go punch some blocks!
Step 6 of course, involves you following our Minecraft update guides here on Game Rant but you knew that. For those new to the experience, every few weeks the game is updated with bug fixes and additional content, but the biggest and best update is yet to come. Dubbed the Adventure Update (also known as the 1.8 update), the next big patch will finally add objectives, additional mobs and reasons to keep on playing and exploring – it's something we've been waiting a very long time for and hopefully something that will get all of the Game Rant crew playing again.
For those, not new to the experience, if you're a diehard resident of Minecraftia, you may be interested in attending the first ever Minecraft convention in Las Vegas, so read here for the details on that.
Until then, stick around and we'll keep you in the know as it happens. Markus Persson, congratulations and best wishes to you and your wife to be!
Minecraft exits beta status on November 11, 2011.

On the face of things, Eisley ought to be the shittiest group ever. After all, the group features siblings Chauntelle, Sherri, Weston and Stacy DuPree, who range in age from 15 to 22 and look like a casting director's dream. Thank goodness comparisons to the Partridge Family end there. The four DuPrees, joined by bassist Jonathan Wilson, actually play their instruments rather than sway back and forth while waving their hands in front of them, and they honed their chops in the Dallas club scene before coming to the attention of executives at Reprise Records. Moreover, their just-released full-length debut, Room Noises, is far more intriguing than their bios might imply. Songs such as "Memories" and "Telescope Eyes" are moody and contemplative, with the DuPrees' ripe harmonies simultaneously exuding warmth and melancholy. Granted, the disc sports a handful of misses that flirt with ickiness, and the running time isn't overly generous, especially considering that it contains tunes from two previous EPs. Yet even at their most pedestrian, the members of Eisley, who headline a bill supplemented by the Colour, Yellow Second and Hobbs NM, sound infinitely better than anyone has a right to expect. No shit.

Hi.Lets i have two classes: Posts and Comments mapping the Posts and Comments tables from the database.
I want to get all coments from a specific post.Should I make post->getAllComments() or comments->getByPostID(postid).I have one class representing each table and one class represent each row of that table.
What do you think is the best way?
As the comments class is mapping comments from the database, I'd say you should use Comments->getByPostID(postid).
Of course, if the Post class has access to the Comments class, then by all means use Post->getAllComments() as a helper method which simply calls Comments->getByPostID(Post->ID).
Can't have too many helper methods
It may be important to note, however, that it is useful to have the actual record class (i.e. Post, where Posts is the mapper class) unassociated from the database/mappers entirely. That way moving records to alternative database systems (e.g. a backup system) will take much less code. Post->getAllComments() implies that Post has access to the database connection, which (depending on your system design) may not be the best approach.

|Well worth the walk, but you have to commit to this when you leave the road or else you'll just end up climbing the Sacherer Cracker again.

indeed very hard 5.9 first pitch. I added #3 and #4 to above gear recommendation .
Second pitch traverse can be protected by pin, #6 and red alien.
But topo is perplexing. From topo in Reid you think that you need to take the first vertical crack after traverse, but in fact you need to do one more traverse to second crack. If you believe topo and continue first crack as I did - you will find climbing harder and harder and find this crack almost diminishing and no bolts in the end. At this point you can not traverse free to left crack which has bolts in the end. But pendulum works.
My 80 m rope was not work for rappel on p2- it is about 45 m long.

When I did this climb in 2002 where you are supposed to cut left on the 2nd pitch I went right. I think there was at least one bolt that sucked me off route. Anyways - it got pretty hard and I took a nice fall onto a tiny nut that held.
Not paying enough attention to the topo. Came back and finished the pitch after the bad memories faded two years later.

'Angry Birds' Get the Theme Park Treatment
The 'Angry Birds' have started to flap their way into almost every facet of popular culture. In fact, it wouldn't surprise us if someone actually named a disease after them to make the franchise even more of a viral sensation.
Now the popular mobile game franchise has invaded the world of amusement parks. The Finnish theme park Sarkanniemi has partnered with Rovio, the creator of the 'Angry Birds' games, to create and construct a series of rides, games and children's attractions around the game's principal characters.
The section of the park called Angry Birds Land will feature several traditional amusement park rides, themed with the 'Angry Birds" trademark look and style. Some of the first additions to the park's new section include a Red Bird-styled spinning flyer ride, a multilevel playground with climbing walls and tube slides made to look like the infamous pigs' fortress and, of course, a pig shooting gallery complete with bird-flinging slingshots. Sadly, patrons will not be flung at various structures around the park.
It's not the only 'Angry Birds' theme park to open to the public or hit a ride designer's blueprint board. It's just the first to get Rovio's permission. The Window of the World theme park in China opened their own unauthorized 'Angry Birds' attraction that let players shoot plush birds from giant slingshots at massive pig fortresses.
Rovio has also made plans to open similar attractions at theme parks in the United Kingdom. Talks are still underway to bring 'Angry Birds' attractions to parts of China and the United States.

OKOLONA - For winning coach Joe Pat Lee, his Bullitt Central Cougars were able to cut the nets down on Friday night due to its grit and toughness.
For North Bullitt coach Brian Courtney, the mood of the game may have been disrupted before the first second ticked off the clock.
But for Brett Bourland, the big man in the middle, the game hinged on his stolen pass late in the contest and his desire to claim every rebound that was up for grabs.

The poster in Scotty and Kevin's apartment features the names of suburbs in Cincinnati: Loveland, Milford, Mariemont, Madeira, which is spelled incorrectly, and others.
After been out jogging, Robert comes back in a grey t-shirt with the inscription: U.S. Air Force
Rebecca: So how's everyone doing?
Kitty: I've been better.
Sarah: Sucktacular.
Scotty: I'm thinking of starting a charity of my own. Stitches for bitches. I thought it was funny.
Kevin: No! It was hilarious.
Justin: You're a DNA-tested and approved Walker, which means you have to learn how to surf.
Rebecca: Do Sarah and Kitty know how to surf?
Justin: They've tried it once, and they complained the entire time.
Rebecca: Does it have to be this early?
Justin: They sounded just like that.
Nora: Are you here for the ice cream, or because you're worried about me being alone in this big empty house.
Sarah: No, I'm worried about me being all alone in my middle-size empty house. And, the creamy vanilla ice cream.
Robert: Are you telling me you want me to turn down the vice presidency so we can have a baby?
Kitty: No. I just want you to want to. I just want your love for me to be more important than your ambition.
Robert: Please don't act like my ambition is something new. It has always been there, you were attracted to it.
Kevin: Look, I think I've figured out a way to solve your problems.
Scotty: You're going to teach me to devein shrimp with one hand?
Kevin: Your insurance problems.
Scotty: If it involves me not having to take a third job, I'm all for it.
Kevin: Why don't we file for domestic partnership?
Scotty: Excuse me?
Kevin: It's so simple. All we have to do is fill out some forms, get them notarized, and that is that. We are then recognized as a couple by the state of California, and that entitles you to the insurance from my firm. That's medical, dental, vision, life, accidental death and dismemberment...
Scotty: (sarcastic) Death and dismemberment, yippee.
Kevin: What's with the sarcasm?
Scotty: Nothing. I said I was going to take care of it and I will, okay, Kevin? It's my problem.
Kevin: If it was Kitty or Sarah, you'd tell?
Justin: I've known Kitty and Sarah since I was born, okay? I mean, they've seen me naked.
Tommy: What if Rebecca saw you naked?
Justin: That's creepy, bro.
Kevin: You're the one who brought up sisters and nudity.
Rebecca: (to Justin) Gosh, if it turns out I'm not a Walker, your mom's gonna build a third floor. Not a bad deal, lose a sister, gain a ping-pong table.
(Trying to get Justin to tell them Rebecca's secret)
Kevin: Oh my God, she's gay!
Tommy: She's not gay. (pause) Is she gay?
Justin: No, she's not gay!
Rebecca: I asked her point blank if William Walker was my father. She swore, she swore I was his daughter. She lied to me, she lied to you, she lied to him!
David: It's more complicated than that.
Rebecca: How is it complicated? She's a liar who hopped from bed to bed and didn't even know who fathered her own baby. Only reason she picked William is that he had the bigger bank account. I'm an idiot. I really thought, in spite of everything, that she loved me, that I mattered.
David: You do. Your mother loves you more than anything.
Rebecca: She loves herself. There's no room for anybody else. Is any of this even fazing you? Or are you too busy defending her to react to the fact that you've got a daughter? Hey, it's a girl! Does that even get a freaking response from you? Or did you know? Answer me! Did you know?
David: The timing... You know, it was suspect. And - and, um, when I asked your mother, she admitted there was a chance, but given how slight it was, we both thought it would be better if we didn't...
Rebecca: Do what, do what, to leave me in the dark? To not have to deal with the fact that you've got a daughter? Were you relieved when she told you? Were you happy? Were you sad? Were you bummed that you never got to know me? How did you feel?
David: I wish I had a... a simple and perfect answer for you, but I don't. All I know is that I was in no shape to be a father to you back then. I was a self-absorbed coke addict, and you didn't deserve to grow up with that.
Rebecca: Right. Because growing up without a dad was such a blast.
David: Look at you, you're smart and you're beautiful and you're funny, and that's because of your mother.
Rebecca: Oh, stop defending her. Do you have any idea what she's put me through? She let me live at Nora's house, okay? She let me believe that I was part of their family. I fell in love with that family. ... God, they're expecting me at that fund-raiser tonight. Family dinners and birthday parties...
David: You don't have to lose that.
Rebecca: What am I supposed to do, just sit there and pretend I'm related to them?
David: Rebecca, I was a crappy boyfried to your mother, and had I known the truth, I would have been a horrible father to you. You deserved better than me. You deserve to be happy.
Rebecca: I was happy. For the first time in my life, I was happy.
David: I'm sorry. We'll figure something out, okay, I promise. I'm going to make this okay.
Kevin: You know, he works seventy hours a week and he still can't afford health insurance? You gotta love America.
Tommy: Enough with the Michael Moore bull, all right? Just put him on your insurance.
Justin: Can't you just make him a domesticated partner or something?
Kevin: Domestic partner, you moron! He's not a pet.
Kevin: You're walking around without health insurance!?
Scotty: Please no lectures. I've lost a lot of blood here.
Rebecca: Who's Jamie?
Tommy: Mom's interior designer.
Sarah: Yeah. When she turns up, it's like a maternal distress call. When Kitty went to New York, within 24 hours, all the kitchen cabinetry - gutted.
Nora: Well, you know, the cabinetry was awful. It was dingy. It was maple.
Justin: When I enlisted in the army, all new wallpaper upstairs.
Kevin: How about when I came out? Most parents just cry. Mom rips out the entire backyard.
Sarah: Nothing but dirt, dumpsters and porta-potties for, like, two years.
Nora: Well, I thought Kevin would have a lot more pool parties. I was trying to be supportive.
Kevin: I thought I was doing a good thing.
Scotty: You were doing a practical thing.
Kevin: What's wrong with that?
Scotty: Kevin, for us, domestic partnership is it. Ya know, our only legal option, our version of marriage... for now at least. And at the risk of sounding like a twelve year old girl, I want my wedding to be special. Practical isn't enough of a reason. So if and when I choose to take that step, I want to stand up in front of everyone I know and say this is the man I choose to be with, til I'm old and bald and incontinent. It was far romantic in my head.
Kevin: It is romantic. But at the risk of sounding like a thirty-something straight guy, I don't know if I'm ready for that or if I ever will be.
Boyd Taylor: All's fair in politics.
Kitty Walker: I think you mean love and war.
Boyd Taylor: Politics is love and war, at least when you do it right.
