Super-fun comparison board game Apples to Apples will become a PSN and XBLA game this holiday season. THQ is adding social and online connectivity in the videogame version, which will allow for connected play, anywhere and at any time.
I have no idea how this will work online, but I know that Apples to Apples is a fantastic game offline. Get a few drinks in you and this adjective matcher turns ridiculous. I would love the ability to create custom noun cards, like some do with the board game.
The game feature single, local and six-player online play. The release mentions Golden Apple cards, which can be used to change the rules. There's also Facebook support, which lets you brag about your comparisons. Also expect DLC: cards, backgrounds and more.
THQ says that the game will later expand to Facebook and mobile devices.
Apples to Apples will be priced at 800 Microsoft Points for Xbox 360, or $9.99 on PS3.

Today we are taking a look at our second retail ATI Radeon HD 5870
graphics card, as we looked at the ASUS EAH5870 Voltage Tweak a few weeks ago. The card that we have for you today is the Sapphire Radeon HD 5870 Vapor-X which is, to our knowledge, the first ATI Radeon HD 5870 series graphics card to deviate from the reference design when it comes to the GPU cooler, and on top of that it comes overclocked right out of the box. According to Sapphire this graphics card will feature up to a 10% boost in performance over a standard Radeon HD 5870, while at the same time being 14 dBA quieter and much cooler! You might expect to pay a pretty penny for features like this, but the retail price on the card is $399.99. So, for an extra $10 over the price of a standard card you get a better cooler and improved performance! This is a little different than previous Vapor-X graphics cards as none of those were factory overclocked. Sapphire hinted that a Toxic or Atomic card might be coming out later, but we don't expect that to happen until production yields of 40nm GPUs get better over at TSMC as it is really hard to find any Radeon HD 5870 graphics cards on the market today.
The picture above shows the Sapphire Radeon HD 5870 Vapor-X edition card on the bottom with the reference based ASUS EAH5870 Voltage Tweak video card sitting above it. Both cards feature identical PCB's, but the cooler differences make a major difference when it comes to both performance and aesthetics. Last month, Sapphire revealed that the vapor chamber technology used in SAPPHIRE Vapor-X coolers comes from Microloops. According to Sapphire they are the only company using this cooling technology on video cards.
The clock speeds on the Vapor-X are overclocked from the factory, which means the 1,600 stream processors are running at 870MHz instead of 850MHz.
The Sapphire 5870 Vapor-X's 1GB of quad-pumped GDDR5 memory is clocked at 1.25GHz
(5.0GHz effective) versus the AMD reference clock of 1.2GHz
(4.8GHz effective). The Sapphire 5870 Vapor-X is still a dual-slot graphics card that
measures in at 10.5″ in length, so it is half an inch shorter than the reference card thanks to shorter length of the Vapor-X cooler. ATI
CrossFire will be supported via the two interconnects located on the
top left of the card as you can also see in the image above. On the
right motherboard you will be able to run up to four of these graphics
cards from CrossFire X.
The back of the Sapphire Vapor-X 5870 video card lacks the metal plate found on the reference cards, but it appears that plate was cosmetic anyway as the card doesn't have any ICs or critical components to keep cool. The most important thing on the back of this video card is the serial
number sticker on it in case the card ever needs to be RMA'd! Sapphire backs the Radeon HD 5870 Vapor-X by a two year warranty through your initial place of purchase. In the event that something goes wrong during that time period you can RMA it back to the store that you bought it from as long as the card has not been tampered with and you still have the original paperwork and matching serial number on the back of the card.
The Sapphire Radeon HD 5870 Vapor-X graphics card has a pair of dual-link DVI-I outputs
along with DisplayPort and HDMI outputs. You can run a D-Sub output
with an adapter. All of the hot air from the cooling fan exhausts out
the small vent hole on the back of the card and the little slots just
in front of the CrossFire interconnects.
The Sapphire Radeon HD 5870 Vapor-X has two 75W 6-pin PCI-E power connectors on it
and both are required for operation. A 500W or larger power supply is
recommended by AMD for use with one video card and a 600W or larger power supply is suggested for two cards running in CrossFire. A list of AMD suggested power supply units can be
found here if you would like to know what power supplies have been tested and certified to work. Sapphire informed LR that the maximum board power on the Vapor-X edition is 188W with an idle board power of just 27W. This is identical to a reference Radeon HD 5870, which is hard to believe since it uses a larger 92mm cooling fan and higher clock frequencies!
Speaking about the fan, let's take a closer look at this sweet looking 'Vapor-X' setup that this card has going on! After that we will take a look at the performance benchmarks to see if the 2-4 percent clock speed increases really help boost performance 10% like Sapphire claims.

In Free Version, following mode supported:Standard Mode and MegaShifter Mode.
Bubble Breaker game is a popular game, there are four modes in Full Version.
In the Standard mode, the bubbles drop as the ones beneath them are removed--a one-dimensional mode, if you will. As you complete a column, the remaining ones to the left shift.
The Continuous mode adds a twist, allowing you to play for as long as you can keep the game going. As you complete a column, the remaining ones shift and a new column is added. A preview of the row to be added, like in Tetris, appears at the bottom of the screen (the top of the column is on the right.)
A third mode, called Shifter, operates like the Standard mode, except that the top of the stack shifts immediately after the bubbles next to it drop.
Last and most challenging is the MegaShift mode, which is pretty much "all of the above" You really have to play it to experience it.
Four diffent color numbers (four, five and six) can be selected also.
Features in Full Version:
1> Four different Modes.
2> Three different color number:4,5,6.
3> Three different board size:11x12,12x13,13x14.

Corn: As it stands right now, we have to continue looking for a grind until news comes up that can scare this market into a bounce again. Bulls can hope for some supportive news from the USDA on the March crop report, but that is still two weeks from this Friday. After that, the next potential USDA help would be the acreage report at the end of March. This is why we continue to look for a grind lower long term, at least for the next month. Right now it appears safer to assume a grind lower while looking out for reasons to warrant a bounce…Ryan Ettner
Soybeans: If China starts to be a more aggressive buyer of old crop beans it would definitely get the market's attention as the U.S. does not much inventory left to sell. With South American dock workers threatening to strike and logistical issues leading to 100+ day delays in loadings, there is a really good chance the U.S. could sell China some beans if the price is right. Beans settled 67 ¾ cents off of Friday highs based on the May contract. The closer the market gets to the $14.00 level, the odds increase that China will be back into our market.
Argentina received some much needed rain over the weekend and that seems to have taken the bullish weather spin away from the market. First notice day for the March contacts is Thursday. We have been recommending producers to be out of old crop inventory (excluding gambling bushels) by the time South America's harvest is in full swing (which is coming on fast). Brazil is reported to be 30% harvested. Major resistance is at the $15.00 level. If the market rallies back to tense levels producers need to take advantage of the move and sell more of their inventory…Jim McCormick
Wheat: Demand is continuing to fall behind trade's expectations and we continue to see the funds push wheat lower by adding shorts. Weekly export sales have been trending better as the US is cheapest best quality store on the market. Wheat harvest is pretty much complete in Argentina but we do not suspect this to take away from U.S. export prospects.
China January wheat imports were 179,356 tonnes down 15.6% year over year. Russian grain intervention tenders are alleviate wheat prices in Russia. Weather is going to be more of a fact as we move towards spring. After the weather system that will be moving through the plains today and moving east tomorrow the forecast does turn drier. This could slow the slide on wheat but doesn't totally change the story that we are not at a tight condition for wheat.
Continue to look for this market to slide lower as we are trending down and funds continue to push things down…Cordon Sroka

I am a cage in search of a bird.
I would not know, because almost all their stuff is blocked in my region, same deal with funimation.
I subscribe to both Crunchyroll and Hulu Plus for my anime fix.
I don't own a Roku, and I like streaming on my HDTV, so I am willing to deal with Hulu's 15-second commercial breaks on my 360.
I really do miss the days when I had the income to purchase anime on DVD, though. I'm not alone on that boat, I suppose.
If I was to rate my streaming experiences with TAN it is by far the worse I have had when streaming any video on their site. I have not yet tried the Funimation Roku app which I here is some what better than their website.
Random person with an opinion on the internet!
I've never tried TAN, mainly becuase they don't have enough shows that interested in. I joined crunchy mainly because of Bleach, but I've seen a lot of other great shows on here that make my membership worth it.
when I first started getting back in to anime thanks to the selection at Netflix (which much has now disappeared), I started looking into watching simulcasts of new series. Immediately jumped on to to Funi, and I've been a paid subscriber for roughly a year now. Funi's site and iOS app have their issues, it still was fine enough for me, with the occasional extended outage.
ANN introduced me to TAN and CR as I'd read through the new streaming list they compiled for all the streaming services every week. I first tried out TAN, specifically through the iOS app, and it wasn't really that impressive. By this point I had already visited CR and taken a look at their offerings and the iOS app, and (as previously brought up by a couple people) there was a lot of overlap of TAN and CR's stream catalogs. It was clear CR had a superior setup and I have been impressed with the developments and improvements they've made for streaming through other platforms such as iOS and XBOX360. I also noticed that the simulcast shows I wanted to see were being released on CR week(s) ahead of TAN, so that just gave me a push further over to CR. Cancelled my trial at TAN and switched to CR. I've been a satisfied paid subscriber since last April.
true magic results from courage of the heart . . .
I never been to their site but I do give them credit for delivering me anime through their cable OnDemand channel in the early 2000's, good times!

I kind of hated AN when I had AT&T U-Verse. True, they were just trying to get me interested in anime or get me to buy it, but at the same time, when they had Princess Ressurrection up, they originally had the first episode up for free. Then awhile later they had episode eight while they never had the ones before it (excluding 1, of course). I personally like Funimation in that regard, but other than that AN is pretty good. I liked almost all of the ones that I saw the pilots of (like Princess Resurrection and Heaven's Memo Pad).
It's been fun, everyone, but I'm afraid I must leave. Adios~
Free TAN is everything they have on Hulu, Paid TAN uses Amazon Webservice only as their host. So if your not in one of 3 regions of the country located by a AWS delivery site your stream is crap. I mean really bad. Sept of last year was when AWS went down and TAN hasn't been right since. Their Jwin player is like years old, they have don't minor alterations in their site once to include more banner adds. They only care about VOD customers and their licensing contracts, web page customers are just suckers to scam cash off. Technical support amounts to refresh 5 times pray for a new delivery server...
The only experience that I have had is there iPad app. Which I use as much as CR's. I haven't had any problems with them. Video works fine and is clear. So, my answer is yes.
This topic is relevant to my interests, since I started a TAN subscription at the beginning of this month. (It has shows that I have not seen at any of the other streamers, most notably Psychic Squad and – regardless of its reputation among fans – Fate / Stay Night.) Have not had any issues as of yet. Also: I have read that everything that Funi streams can also be found at Hulu, and I am already a Hulu Plus fan, so ... might not need Funi for anything.
Goblin Slayer has nothing on '80s anime when it comes to hard content, folks.

PowerColor Devil R9 270X Review
PowerColor Devil R9 270X Introduction:
If you have that feeling of déjà vu, it is because late in July we looked at the pinnacle of HD 7870 performance from PowerColor when we looked at the Devil HD 7870. We found that PowerColor put a lot of effort into a full on custom card that built on the Devil 13 HD 7990 heritage and brought it right on down to the mainstream user. All for $239: custom PCB, 7+1+1 phase Platinum Power Kit, and a great looking tri-fan heat pipe-based cooling solution. What we see with this card is the integration of the Pitcairn core used on the HD 7870 into the R9 product stack to take advantage of the latest technologies from AMD, including support for the latest DirectX API version 11.2 and the newest revision to AMD's PowerTune technology with further tweaks to the GCN architecture.
True to the Devil heritage, this card, the Devil R9 270X, comes with the highest factory combination of base clock speed and boost clock speed on the revised Pitcairn core of 1150MHz with a boost to 1180MGz. By pushing the clock speed up this high, PowerColor brings another level of performance to the table to compete with the best offerings from other manufacturers, all while running cooler and quieter than the reference designs. If the performance of the Devil HD 7870 was any indication, this card should do well for the small $40 price premium over the reference price point of $199.
PowerColor Devil R9 270X Closer Look:
PowerColor delivers the Devil series in a deep velvet black box with blood red accents. The front panel of the packaging has a small clear window that shows off the Devil logo on the inner materials. The back side of the box continues the black and red theme, but shows a breakdown of the cooling solution and the components that make up the Platinum Power Kit Digital VRM package. Inside the package there is a clear plastic shell over the included PowerColor Devil series mouse pad that allows you to show off your support for the product. The Devil R9 270X is packed in a dense foam core that easily absorbs any impacts during transit.
The accessory bundle for this card is on the slim side, with a manual, and a driver disc that containsthe driver and PowerColor's own PowerTune utility. You get a mini DisplayPort to full size DisplayPort dongle, DVI to VGA adapter, and, the signature piece of the accessory bundle, the Devil logo-ed mouse pad. The mouse pad is more than just your traditional soft pad with a cloth top in that, while thick to provide cushioning, it features a gaming surface on top of the foam.
Big factory clock speeds, solid build specs, and a large cooling solution usually are the recipe for a high performance video card that can handle the latest games in its target resolution. Let's see how this offering from PowerColor's darker side fares in our benchmarks testing. First though we will pull it apart to see just what PowerColor has to offer.

Flyers West just added another former player from the Orange and Black.
The surging Los Angeles Kings announced that left winger Simon Gagne will play in Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Finals on Monday night against visiting New Jersey.
The Kings lead the series, two games to none.
Gagne, 32, the Flyers' No. 1 pick in the 1998 draft, will come off the injured list and play in his first game since Dec. 26. He has been sidelined with a concussion.
In 16 career playoff games against New Jersey - all with the Flyers - Gagne has three goals and three assists. He will replace Brad Richardson in Monday's lineup.
Gagne was injured in his third game playing for new coach Darryl Sutter. He had seven goals and 17 points in 34 games this season _ and did not score a goal in the last 17 games he played.
By playing in one Finals game, Gagne will get his name engraved on the Cup if the Kings win it.
It couldn't happen to a classier guy.

Watch The ::God Is Imaginary Videos On YouTube ::
i find it hilarious how some people makes a big deal about procreation. The way i see it, we're already well over 7 billion, so what if some people don't want to have kids or can't procreate?
1) Homosexuals can't procreate (Gay rights issue)
2) It's important to keep your bloodline going (Abortion issue or people whom choose not to have children)
3) If people think like you do then human race would die out (This is said to Gays or to child-free individuals)
4) Having children is so important and miraculous.
5) it's important for the establishment of civilization
I personally cannot have children and i don't want to have children.
I don't think that can cause any problems to society. People may say it's selfish, but we're all selfish.

Usable PowerPoint design template including typestyle and layout for each of the presentation slides (attached).
Pages Include: Presentation Cover, Table of Contents, Company Summary Slide, General Text Slide with Table, General Graph Slide, Quadrant Slide
Provide exact colors you would use for text, graphs, each segment of "stack graphs," lines on charts, headers, etc.
Other Comments:
Presentations will be printed (not viewed electronically) in landscape format; new colors/designs/graphics should print clearly and consistently in color.
Design should accommodate binding along the top edge.
Design must accommodate our existing logo (attached) and logo color (maroon). (Note: Logo color has been difficult to combine with other background colors. White, Grey and Black have been a successful compliment (see attached letterhead). No use of reds.)
If the Cover Slide has a background color, take into account that when printed, the color will not print edge to edge.
Title is required on all slides (except the Cover Slide). Determine whether we should use a "color" banner (like current design) or a line(s) or other form of graphic.
Leave space for another company logo opposite Cortec's logo on the right side of each slide (page number is best centered/other location).
Slides should remain purely text/graphs/tables – No pictures. Data driven.

Kayakers, runners, walkers bicyclists and nature lovers will all have a reason to participate in Saturday's inaugural Paddle Pedal Festival in downtown Milford.
Kayakers, runners, walkers bicyclists and nature lovers will all have a reason to participate in Saturday's inaugural Paddle Pedal Festival in downtown Milford.
The event will start at 7:30 a.m. with a free "paddle in" for kayaks, rafts and paddle boards that will run from the Mispillion Marina at the Route 1/Route 36 Bypass to the new Chaney-Wilmont Greenway on the south side of the Mispillion River.
After the watercrafts arrive at their destination about 8:15 a.m., Downtown Milford Inc. and Milford Parks and Recreation will co-host a dedication of the recently completed $380,000 greenway, the final section of the Riverwalk that now runs continuously from Silver Lake to Goat Island.
The festival will continue with a 20K bike ride that starts at 9 a.m. and a competitive 10K Run/Walk that begins at 9:15 a.m.
Both of those events will start at the Chaney-Wilmont Greenway on Marshall Street and run east along Route 36 to the Cedar Creek boat ramp off Lighthouse Road. The eastbound lane of the roadway will be closed to motor vehicle traffic to accommodate the event.
While bicyclists will make the return trip as a part of their event, shuttles will be returning runners and walkers to the greenway, according to co-organizer Marilyn Ambrose, chairwoman of DMI's promotions committee.
Following a brief awards ceremony for the runners at the Chaney-Wilmont Greenway slated for 10:30 a.m., a picnic lunch will be offered to the participants of all the events.
Registration is required although anyone interested in participating in the paddling, pedaling, walking or running events can register at the Chaney-Wilmont Greenway off Marshall Street from 7 a.m. up until minutes before the various events begin, according to Milford Parks and Recreation Director Gary Emory.
Advance registration also is available online at downtownmilford.org until 5 p.m. on Friday.
Also, no iPods, headsets, animals, roller bladers or baby stollers will be permitted on the course.
Emory said the idea for the event began as a way to celebrate the completion of the 1,000-foot-long Chaney-Wilmont Greenway and evolved into a showcase of Milford's commitment to eco-tourism and healthy lifestyles.
"The whole thing has been 25 years in the making so we really want to celebrate that and have a way for everyone to enjoy the Riverwalk while doing it."

Source: Chef Corey Shoemaker
For this salad, Chef Corey Shoemaker pulls the leaves from baby kale "when they're young and tender" and tosses them raw with beets that have been gently roasted with a little grape seed oil. "I use grape seed because it's neutral and treats the vegetables like 'gold,' adding no flavor of its own," he explains.
1/4 cup Basil Vinaigrette (recipe follows)
1 lb. beets, roasted and cleaned (gold, candy stripe or red)
4 cups baby kale
8 tbsp. goat cheese
4 tbsp. Marcona almonds, toasted
4 tbsp. julienne radish
Basil Vinaigrette
1 cup fresh basil leaves
1 cup white balsamic vinegar
2 cups grape seed oil
2 tbsp. agave
Salt and pepper, to taste
- Bring 4 cups water to a boil. Add basil leaves; flash-blanch for 30 sec. and no longer. Place basil in an ice bath and chill.
- Add basil, vinegar, oil, agave, salt and pepper to blender; blend until smooth. Adjust seasoning with salt, pepper and more agave if needed. Chill.
- Prepare Basil Vinaigrette.
- Toss beets with 1 tsp. Basil Vinaigrette and set aside.

Dear Anita
Thanks for the reports, and an excellent experience attending the inspection with your specialists
By way of experience, I have had a 30 year+ international career spanning various industries (including motor industries, Toyota SA (termite country), Nissan SA, etc), and for the last 10 years specialising in Project Management (including building works and facilities). I was very impressed with the preparation, professionalism, efficiency, attention to detail, enthusiasm, and helpful guidance freely given to avoid small issues escalating in the future. The broad brush cost estimates of any work needed is particularly handy
Your company was chosen after an Internet search and telephone interviews to the shortlist - Some companies were reluctant to provide the most rudimentary email "pitch", and explanation of the service to be provided - Some "Poo Hooed" the dog story, when asked if they offered this service - However, in all aspects, including the attached reports (bc'd to many contacts and associates) Buywise made me most happy with my choice of your company, and I will have no hesitation in recommending you to anyone that I come into contact with
"The Beagle" performed in the same manner as the rest of the team, highly efficient, and was not rewarded just for going thro' a show routine, and, as explained, would only have got a treat if a termite possible scent had been found
Of interest, we had a company complete an inspection last year on another property, and altho' adequate, it did not reach the levels of excellence yours achieved
Kind Regards
I recently had two building and pest inspections done by two different companies. The price was almost the same – but the difference in quality of service was amazing.
The first company responded to my booking promptly and arranged for the inspection to be carried out on the next day. I was promised that in case they find termites I will get a call immediately. Of course I was hoping that they wouldn't because I really had my heart set on that property, but guess what – they did. Their inspector called me and let me know that there were signed of infestation and that the report will have the details.
Of course after such a fiasco I wasn't going to hire them ever again. Luckily I found another company – and this time I will mention a name because I would recommend them to anyone: BuyWise. They are real professionals. The inspection was quickly booked for me by a very friendly lady, I got to choose the day and the time, they let me be present during the inspection and they were actually half an hour earlier on site than we scheduled! Pest inspector had a specially trained dog with him - what a brilliant idea to train a dog to detect termites! The building inspector didn't leave any of my questions unanswered and only left when I was completely satisfied. I got the report early on the next day, great pictures and even an estimate of costs for all the repairs needed. I would definitely use their services again.
Hi Anita,
Our auction is this weekend. Fingers crossed.
I Googled a few Inspectors and chose Buywise as your website seemed quite informative, your price competitive and your receptionist was very polite.
All in all your business seemed very professional.
The comprehensiveness of your reports did not disappoint. They were thorough and detailed
All the best.
One of the inspectors did call me shortly after our discussion earlier today thank-you, and spent some time on the phone with me going through an overview of the inspection and findings.
Thank-you for attending to this matter so promptly, and forwarding reports in such a timely manner. The service from Buy-Wise Inspections has been excellent and I would have no problem whatsoever in recommending your service to others.
Dear Anita,
Kind regards,
Dear Anita,
Kind regards,
Dear Anita,
Thank you for sending the reports through so promptly.
I have been very impressed with the service of Buy-wise and I thank you and Peter for your professionalism. I have read the report and am delighted with the outcome. I will certainly be recommending Buy Wise to friends and future clients.
Thank you once again
Again - thankyou for your how good your service has been - getting the inspection done at short notice, and keeping us up to date with what has been going on has been much appreciated.
Cheers - Alex and Lucy
Hi Peter,
We would like to thank you for your inspection service. We found you 2 to be friendly and professional.
But the biggest thank you was for saving us $8000! When we went back to the listing agent and told them about the stump issue, they organised Dorset Reblocking to come out the next day to check and organise a quote. The quote was $7,800 - which was pretty much spot on with your estimate.
As a result, the vendors agreed to drop the sale price by this much!!
Thanks again,
Allan & Vivian
Dear Peter
Hi Anita,
I would just like to take the opportunity to thank the Buy Wise team for providing us with an excellent level of service.
Both the pest and building inspections were very thorough, comprehensive and easy to understand. The time taken at the property to explain any areas of concern in simple terms was really appreciated.
We felt able to bid on the property with confidence that we knew exactly what we were in for if we were to purchase it and I can happily say we were in fact successful in securing the property!
As a property industry professional myself and as a home buyer I would have no hesitation in recommending Buy Wise's services to anyone looking for a property inspection.
Thank you once again.
Hi Anita,
Many thanks to you and your team for your prompt assistance and response... We are very satisfied with the quality of the inspection and the detailed report..
Will certainly contact you as soon as we find another suitable property..
Best regards
Rita and gaurav
We will beat any of our competitors price for combined
Pre Purchase Building & Pest Inspections by 5%.

It's the buzzword here at the Gaylord Opryland Resort in Nashville. Every conversation includes some variation of the phrase, "There's a lot of money out there." It's TV money, and it's only expected to grow. And as the TV deals grow, so do the player deals, as evidenced by some of what you've seen over the past few days. I bring this up because much of the initial reaction that I saw to Angel Pagan's deal was that it was rather pricey or rather long.
But Pagan was a top priority for the Giants, their No. 1 choice out of free agent outfielders. The Giants had hoped to bring the 31-year-old back on a three-year deal, but once B.J. Upton got five years and the likes of Shane Victorino started asking for three or four years, it became clear that Pagan was going to get a bigger deal. The Giants, eager to fill center field and the leadoff spot, made it work.
"It's a great feeling to have him back," manager Bruce Bochy said. "He's a great fit for us. That's a pretty big need when you need a center fielder and a leadoff hitter, and this took care of both."
The Giants now will turn to Marco Scutaro, their other winter meetings priority. Scutaro is seeking a multi-year deal and again the Giants will probably have to reach his demands, because the alternatives aren't very appealing. While the outfield market was deep, the second base market doesn't dazzle. The Giants like several of their internal options, including Nick Noonan and Joe Panik, but don't feel that any of those guys are quite ready.
Some other notes from Day 1 of Stand Around the Lobby 2012…
— Bochy said he would reach out to Brian Wilson and try to smooth things over after the two sides were unable to reach an agreement last week.
"Sometimes things don't go as smoothly as you would like, but you don't forget the contribution he made to the Giants," Bochy said. "It's just part of the business."
The Giants haven't ruled out a return of The Beard. "He will hopefully be a guy that considers coming back here," vice president of baseball operations Bobby Evans said. "We have interest. We understand he has to test the market. He's a commodity that's hard to find."
Wilson's market seems to be shrinking by the hour; both teams in Los Angeles, where Wilson lives, reportedly have ruled him out. Several executives have told me that Wilson might be an interesting option for a team looking to make a splash late in free agency, when lots of money might still be out on the table. But Wilson might be better off seeking a two-year deal like the one Joakim Soria (also coming off TJ surgery) got from the Rangers. That kind of deal would be more comfortable for most clubs, since they can ride out the early struggles after a player returns from surgery and then take advantage in Year 2.
As for the current plan, Bochy said Sergio Romo is his closer, but he would like to find guys to complement Romo and allow him to stay fresh. Jeremy Affeldt, Santiago Casilla and Javier Lopez could fill that role, and I wouldn't be surprised to see George Kontos get some high-leverage work next season on days when Romo might not be available. Plus, you know that Brian Sabean (who is sick and not in Nashville), Evans and the rest of the front office will find two or three random arms for Dave Righetti and Mark Gardner to work with in the spring. It's sounding very much like the Giants will handle the bullpen the same way they did in September and October, and that certainly worked.
"You look at the job they did last year, and they certainly have earned the right to go into the year being our guys," Bochy said of his current cast of closer candidates.
— A key reason why Pagan was option No. 1 for the Giants: He already has proven that he can thrive in AT&T Park. Pagan hit .286 with eight triples and 19 doubles at home. Bochy said it "takes away a lot of the unknown" that the Giants would have had with highly-touted free agents who might have struggled at AT&T Park.
— Prior to the Pagan announcement, multiple executives told me they thought the Giants ultimately would end up with Michael Bourn, who might have a tough time finding someone to match his asking price as teams fill their center field needs. As it turns out, the Giants were never in on Bourn, who along with Josh Hamilton was considered a "big-ticket item" that the Giants couldn't add. It'll be interesting to see how 4×40 for Pagan stacks up once the final numbers come in for Bourn, Hamilton and Victorino. My gut feeling is that the Giants might be feeling pretty good about their choice.
— "What about Gary Brown?" you ask…
The Giants still like Brown, but he's not viewed as a can't-miss prospect. They would like to allow him to take his time in the minor leagues and continue to develop, and this Pagan deal does just that. If Brown turns into an All-Star caliber prospect…
"It's a good problem to have," Evans said.
"I think Gary will put himself in the big leagues at the right time," he continued. "He showed a lot of people (this season) that even though he can struggle, he knows how to pull out of it. I don't doubt Gary at all. The timing will be dictated more by him than by us. He'll get a good look in spring training."
— Bochy anticipates Gregor Blanco getting the majority of the left field at-bats, but the Giants would like to find a right-handed platoon partner in left field, and they need depth in the outfield. Francisco Peguero will get an opportunity to compete for that job in the spring, but expect the Giants to bring in a low-priced veteran or two to try and find the right fit alongside Blanco.
— Brandon Belt will be the opening day first baseman, and the Giants have had no discussions about playing him in left field next season.
— Pablo Sandoval officially committed to play for Venezuela in the World Baseball Classic, saying "It was such an amazing experience to win another World Series. I'd love to win another championship, only this time with my fellow countrymen in the World Baseball Classic."
Joe Mauer will play for the United States, which surely pleases Giants executives who didn't want to see Buster Posey take any risks in a non-Giants uniform.
— If you missed it earlier, Eli Whiteside was claimed by the Toronto Blue Jays, once again breaking up the Whiteside-Chris Stewart pairing.
— The Giants announced their 2013 spring training schedule today. The first game is Feb. 23 and you can find the full slate here.
— I also happen to be covering the A's this week, and if you're bored at work, here's my story about their plans. It's interesting that, while many teams here are scrambling, the two Bay Area teams came to Nashville with very set rosters. Good time for baseball in our little corner of the world.
— Evans was asked if Scutaro was now "on the frontburner."
"Other than dinner, yeah," he said.
Sounds like a good idea for this guy, too. That's it for tonight. Follow along on Twitter (@AlexPavlovic) for coverage tonight and the rest of the week.

Baltimore, MD – ExpressCare, Maryland's fastest growing and second largest urgent care company, and a new partner with LifeBridge Health, will hold a ribbon-cutting to celebrate its newest urgent care center in Parkville on Thursday, October 31, at 9:30 a.m. at 7701 Harford Road. The Parkville site is the company's 10th urgent care center in Maryland.
In addition to the Parkville location, ExpressCare currently operates other centers in Baltimore, Harford, Cecil, Carroll, Anne Arundel and Prince George's counties. All ExpressCare urgent care centers see patients seven days a week until 9 p.m. with no appointment necessary. People can simply walk in and be examined by medical staff members.
"We identified a real need in this Baltimore County community for a convenient alternative for individuals who cannot immediately see their own doctors or who are looking for a place in their own neighborhoods to get care when they need it," said Maurice Reid, M.D., the CEO and chief medical director of Express Care. "Our staff treats most serious, non-life threatening conditions including the flu, infections, ear aches, broken bones, burns and bites."
The importance of the ExpressCare expansion into Parkville is being recognized by the Baltimore County Chamber of Commerce. Both Kevin Scott and Christine Crawford, the president and vice president of that group, respectively, are scheduled to be at Thursday's ribbon-cutting. In addition, American Express gift certificates will be raffled off every hour during the event, and light refreshments will be served.
ExpressCare recently partnered with LifeBridge Health, one of the largest, most comprehensive health care organizations in the Baltimore area to broaden its outreach and continuum of care.

Your current filters are…
by Alyson Shontell, Robert Chafitz, Lauren Bruksch, Curtis Hougland and Josh Levine
As the entrepreneur Prince sang, "So, tonite I'm gonna party like its nineteen ninety-nine."
Social media is a means to end.
Social media is also increasingly horizontal in its application across the marketing funnel.
And it is a bubble.
As in 1999, this bubble is marked by four attributes:
Escalating valuations: Our panel will prove how Groupon cannot sustain growth, and the valuations of current social marketing stocks are not sustainable
Inflated salaries: How the scarcity of social marketing experts overinflated the salaries of the very people attending SXSW. This escalation came in part of a misguided panic in not understanding how to channel consumer behavior. This is why so many people are at SXSW with expense reports.
Dizzying competition: The world does not need more than 40 photo sharing services. We are at the end of the beginning, which will include a winnowing of services and consultants.
Tremendous hype: The number of publishers versus voyeurs is actually shrinking. This inversion of word-of-mouth to buzz is what bit Snakes on a Plane in 2006. Whenever there is a sustained inversion of buzz and word-of-mouth, the situation conflates.
SXSW is ground zero of this hype. The event elevates the channel over the objective, and the buzz over the results. It is a cultural event, but does not focus on analytics, results, and research, the cornerstones of social media. What happens at SXSW has little affect on the consumer unlike CES or E3.

Ooh, my first topic, how exciting!
Lately I've been day dreaming about a world like SAO... A real life version of SAO, if you will. Sometimes I think it would be a fun experience, a new world, a beautiful new start! In real life, how many people do fun things for money?
If you haven't watched SAO, Sword Art Online, I highly recommend it. Many people say it's not good, it was written poorly or is just downright terrible, but I don't think so. It's very popular btw.
If you haven't got a clue what I'm talking about, I'll explain it here. In the anime Sword Art Online, 10,000 gamers become trapped in a virtual-reality MMO.
Do any of you wish that you could be in a situation like the characters in SAO, or would you rather just play a VRMMO like it should, OR would you NEVER play a VRMMO should it become available?
I can't be the only one who literally WANTS to be a part of something like this.
I wish I had a .38 to end this shit
Not sure if I'd enjoy putting my life on the line, on the other hand I would like to transcend past time and be in the futuristic world that SAO was created in, so I can play some of those VRMMORPG's
i play real mmos
His Holiness Optimus Maximus Decimus Meridius Colossus Nemesis Nexus Genesis
Action: The shit, well animated and gorgeous
Plot: decent
Characters: pretty generic (well maybe except for a few)
Overall: Fine? Just above average?
I need some holding
I'd have it as a secondary game to my current MMO since thats my home away from home.
"...Love is love & it's beautiful no matter where & who you find it with."
lol what if u get stuck?
Waking up early to watch anime.. Im sure Im not the only one
You want to live in a world where people can be killed for nothing without being charged...?
... Wow!
If "Nobody" is indestructible...Then I'm "Nobody"....!!!

@shuyi000 .... Lol thats called reality >.> Plenty of people get away with murder. But to the ops topic , ya i'd be all in ^_^. Would be a hell of a story to tell if you won ^_^.
I think it would be fun. Knowing my parents if I were trapped they would pull off my headset anyway, so im pritty sure I would die.
Would help ease a lot of long-distance relationships, eh. Rofl.
*****Completely inactive, no other accounts*****
would be my dream come true.

what MMOs do you play? I've been looking for a new one to play for a while, but I've still yet to find one that I can get really absorbed in.
glass, once broken, can never be restored perfectly
Any MMO will probably give you the same experience though a bit of it does rely on the imagination and you'll always have to come back to reality in the end. Not sure how I'd feel about some kind of brain scanning, motor function stopping device being put on my head but the idea of the game itself is pretty interesting.
Series-wise.... It was good. I thought the first half had a good balance of action and story while the second half kind of lost that balance but had some pretty good fights to cover for it. Though the first half had more random stuff going on so that was kind of meh. It probably went too heavy on the low and emo moments that most 24+ episode animes tend to have around episodes 17-22 which probably ruined a good part of my experience since there weren't as many cool moments or where the character, not the story, was moving forward. I'm thinking about rewatching it but I'll probably put it off for a year or so. Some really nice shows are out and are hitting the right spots in my anime cravings right now.
hope you have fun dying!
excluding the part that there's a possibility of dying, i would really love to experience flying (without sitting in a aircraft) i would also want to experience pvp kekeke~

I suppose it's been awhile since I've seen posts about Amy's frozen foods being problematic for the posters but I also haven't been reading as much here lately. For years it just kept coming up. Never saw much about their other lines. Does anyone know if they changed? Any long-timer REtry an Amy's frozen years after thinking they were a potential cc source? I've been tempted, but I don't think I even got as far as checking the ingred list for everything else I don't eat.
I Need Help, Someone Give Me Answers... Please
tom replied to Kocoyboy's topic in Celiac Disease - Post Diagnosis, Recovery/Treatment(s)Hi Kocoyboy, Hope you can feel better soon, it's tough when not seeing improvements. Honestly, a week & a half is often not long enough to get settled into knowing what to avoid & to answer "where/what CAN I eat?" Is there gluten-free food at school? If you're eating much processed food, would you be able to simplify your diet? For as easy as it can be, that can help a lot. You may need to be dairy-free for a while. The Dr, imho, should've mentioned that.
Blood Test Received -- Endoscopy Or Not?
tom replied to clafran's topic in Celiac Disease - Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & SymptomsHaven't seen anyone mention that it can be good, just in general, to let a specialist take a look under the hood, so to speak, since we already know things haven't been well. I feel better knowing I've got a baseline eval available for future comparison.

tom replied to TriticusToxicum's topic in Gab/Chat Room - To Discuss Anything BUT Celiac Disease / Gluten-Free DietOops what'd I miss, reigning in absentia? Wayyy too busy w/ Ronaihna messin w/ his cousin Monti's head. Hope it just blows over. Ohhhh Gnikkers, hugs from me too. Screw that boiler tho, yah? Russel (hehe) awesome that the work hrs didn't change. How awful/worrisome that something as potentially impactful on your ds could be so cavalierly changed.
How Much Gluten?
tom replied to freeme808's topic in Celiac Disease - Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & SymptomsNope. You're right about the part that it's significant that your immune system has never had a break from gluten. There's no need to increase your gluten intake beyond the 'some every day' you're already getting. Good luck w/ the testing!
gluten-free Foods Cause Gi Issues
tom replied to celiacSuzie's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & MedicationsI'm wondering which type of Amy's because I think I used to see posts questioning cc in Amy's frozen foods but almost never the canned ones. There's a canned Amy's gluten-free organic southwest chili I've had plenty of times w/out a problem.
Trader Joes Creamy Almond Butter
tom replied to porkchop60c's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & MedicationsI've been eating Tjoe's almond butter regularly w/out issue for probably 6 yrs. Mostly the Crunchy, tho I doubt creamy vs crunchy is a factor. This label has the shared equipment warning for peanuts, tree nuts & soy. No mention of wheat. I don't know if an organic one should be any different w.r.t. shared equipment. Isn't it a voluntary declaration? A company can use shared equipment for EVERYthing & not put it on the label at all. I did have a horrible reaction once to a cashew butter I'll never try again & never knew what the prob was. Otherwise never a problem w/ cashews or 'shewbutters. One almond butter brand kept pissing me off w/ hidden bits of almond shells, but not sure if it was an organic one. Maybe Marantha(sp?). Hope you find one that works cuz it sure is a no-fuss easy & portable way to get something in the belly. I just dig in w/ a spoon at work.
Undiagnosed - Talking With Doctor
tom replied to jaimelynn's topic in Celiac Disease - Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & SymptomsI think the main thing right now for you is to INSIST on celiac testing before trying gluten-free, or the testing will become ineffective. Oh dang, just saw that you may have already had the appt today. How'd it go?

Gluten Free For Two Weeks, Biopsy In Three Weeks
tom replied to Mirjam's topic in Celiac Disease - Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & SymptomsIf it didn't cause an intolerable or even highly significant rise in symptoms, I suppose that's what I'd do, but I usually shy away from giving specific recommendations. I've seen occasional but rare posts of ppl affected longer term, after the challenge, who might regret doing it, but don't recall specifics of their early challenge symptoms. Celiac testing is unfortunately still a bit of a crapshoot, but hopefully the forum has enough info for ppl in your position to make an informed decision & not only working off a Dr's (I don't mean yours specifically) outdated or misinformed info.
Gluten Free For Two Weeks, Biopsy In Three Weeks
tom replied to Mirjam's topic in Celiac Disease - Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & SymptomsHi Mirjam, if you do restart on the gluten, remember it doesn't take a lot. I've been seeing studies on it for a while & here's a new one mentioned today in the forum's Publications Section. http://www.health.harvard.edu/blog/simple-blood-test-helps-bring-celiac-disease-out-of-the-shadows-201212205712 "Even a small amount of the protein can stir up trouble. A University of Maryland study ( http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17209192 ) showed that just 50 milligrams (mg) of gluten
Confusion About Gluten Intolerance
tom replied to Sarahsmile416's topic in Celiac Disease - Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & SymptomsI think it's safe to say it'd be more unpleasant if you were re-introducing gluten after feeling increasingly healthier during weeks or months 100% gluten-free. (Slight assumption in there on it being celiac) You did say you never really went gluten-free, right? That'd be why it's not particularly unpleasant.
Confusion About Gluten Intolerance
tom replied to Sarahsmile416's topic in Celiac Disease - Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & SymptomsWell that's a bit off-topic & curiously defensive. Someone posted that "often ppl say 2 slices/day" & I add the single cracker quote from your fav site & that's a bad thing? (Sarah had asked whether we'd "recommend amping up the ingestion of gluten before the test" after having explained that she's never been gluten-free - it's not a "re-introducing gluten" situation - it's a "don't stop eating gluten yet" situation.)
How Can I Find Out If A Rx Is Gluten Free
tom replied to GFreeMO's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & MedicationsYeah, I thought it'd be easy to check glutenfreedrugs.com too. Apparently Greenstone was one of 3 mfgs when it started going generic in 2006. A thread here from '06-'11 at least doesn't have anyone saying they reacted, tho it looks like Lupin wasn't in the game yet. I see Lupin mentioned as mfg of OTHER generics, but wow this really sucks for this to be difficult at all! Wish I could help.

DUBLIN (AP) — Like an ill-fated romance in a country song, Garth Brooks and Dublin just weren't meant to be.
Five Irish concerts by the country music star were called off on Tuesday after a battle between venue owners and local residents that became a national furor.
More than 400,000 tickets had been sold for the gigs, due to start at Croke Park stadium on July 25.
The stint had been billed as a "Comeback Special" for the 52-year-old superstar after more than a decade of semi-retirement.
Brooks was originally scheduled to play two shows, and when the number of performances was increased to cope with demand, some nearby residents complained.
Dublin City Council last week refused to grant permission for five shows, saying they would cause "an unacceptable level of disruption" for residents and businesses.
The dispute grew increasingly bitter, sparking a legal bid by some residents to have the shows canceled, and a rival petition calling for them all to go ahead.
Brooks released a statement last week saying he would play five shows or none.
"To choose which shows to do and which shows not to do, would be like asking to choose one child over another," he said.
Promoter Peter Aiken said Tuesday that attempts to reach agreement among the feuding parties had failed and "no concerts will take place."
Ticket-seller Ticketmaster said it would be offering refunds.
Brooks is one of the best-selling musicians in U.S. history, with more than 128 million albums sold, and helped make country music an international phenomenon.

MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) — "To Kill a Mockingbird" author Harper Lee is suing a museum in her hometown of Monroeville to stop it from selling souvenirs with her name and the title of her Pulitzer Prize-winning book.
The lawsuit, filed last week in federal court in Mobile, says the Monroe County Heritage Museum has traded on Lee's fame without her approval and without compensating her. It seeks an unspecified amount in damages.
Museum attorney Matt Goforth says the nonprofit museum honors Lee's legacy and that she had never sought money from the museum in its 25 years of existence.
The suit comes after Lee sought a federal trademark for the title of her book when it's used on clothing. The museum opposed her application, saying its souvenir sales are vital to its continued operation.

KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — Afghan army soldiers exchanged fire with NATO service members after a heated dispute Wednesday on a base in the east of the country, leaving two Afghans and two foreigners dead, according to accounts by NATO and an Afghan official.
It appeared to be the latest in a series of insider attacks on foreign forces by Afghan allies or men wearing their uniforms.
The NATO-led force confirmed the deaths of its service members, saying they were killed by two men in Afghan uniforms. The coalition gave no further information, saying there would be an investigation.
A senior Afghan military official meanwhile said two Afghan army personnel were killed in the fight but had no further information, saying a joint NATO-Afghan team had been dispatched to investigate. He added that several other personnel were wounded in the incident in an Afghan base in the Pagab district of Kapisa province, east of Kabul.
He could not be identified because he was not authorized to release the information.
Insider attacks in the past have been claimed by Taliban insurgents as proof they can infiltrate Afghanistan's Western-trained security forces. Other cases have involved personal quarrels between Afghan forces and their trainers.
The Taliban earlier Wednesday issued a statement claiming that a "battle" between Afghan forces and foreign trainers had resulted in several deaths and injuries, but the insurgents did not claim its infiltrators were responsible.

We have seen many animals survive by being camouflaged to avoid being eaten by their predators. But have you seen any plants protect themselves by mimicry? A team consisted of researchers from both University of Cape Town and the University of KwaZulu-Natal in South Africa, has found an example of that - a seed from a plant uses mimicry to fool a beetle. They published their paper in the journal Nature Plants, which also have other studies on recombinant mouse proteins. In their paper they describe the relationship between the seeds and the beetles and the deceptive dispersal they witnessed through observation.
In fact, many examples of animals or plant mimicry have been noted and reported in studies published before, but until now, no examples of a plant using mimicry to disperse seeds have been documented. The research which seeds of a grassy plant known as Ceratocaryum argenteum were somehow dispersed used to draw public attention, but no one had figured out how it was occurring. The researchers write that they believed it was because mice carried them about. To make sure about the guess, they dropped 195 of the seeds near monitoring stations in De Hoop Nature Reserve and recorded what happened with video cameras.
Over a single day, dung beetles moving through the area had grabbed nearly half of the seeds and rolled them to nearby locations where they buried them later. As you know, dung beetles normally grab animal droppings and bury them for eating or use them for a place to lay eggs.
Subsequently, the researchers dug up all the seeds which were buried by the beetles and found no traces of beetles around, let alone any eggs laid by dung beetles. The results suggested that those beetles discovered the ruse as they attempted to eat them or lay eggs. Therefore, the team guessed that the dung beetles had been fooled into carrying the seeds to a distant places and planting them and got no reward for their efforts.
They inspected the seeds and found that they looked like bontebok dung a lot. What's more, the chemical composition of the seeds closely resembled dung as well. It must be the smell of the seeds that fools the beetles.

Colt Ford, "Thanks For Listening" (Average Joe's)
Country music's pre-eminent singer/rapper Colt Ford is out with his fifth studio album, "Thanks For Listening," a release thick with featured vocals from other artists and a keen ear toward the caricature of the country lifestyle.
This is mostly good old boy territory, with an occasional hip-hop backing beat thrown in for good measure. "The High Life," featuring Chase Rice alongside Ford, says as much. There's football-watching, hard-drinking and late-night living to be had, and Ford's having it all at high speed.
"Cut Em All" also delivers a mean country swagger, replete with four-wheeling and hunting. It even has featured vocals from Willie Robertson of the hit TV series "Duck Dynasty." It begins with a duck call and continues with a rapped laundry list of things that, for better or worse, define the American South. There's not much storytelling to it, but perhaps Ford fans don't require as much.
Ford's lyrics aren't always the meatiest, but his approach is not to dwell too deeply on the human condition. He's here to have fun and let us all know how he had it.
Mission accomplished, Colt Ford.

I love the women behind this blog.
I love that sometimes one of us knows just what we all need. We have been doing sadhana's together for years, but usually in January - an intentional way to enter a new year. (Sadhana is just a sanskrit term for practice - we usually think of it as 40 days of yoga every day)
A few weeks ago, Sophie reached out saying she felt like she needed a September Sadhana this year. She was not alone - many of the yogalilans were feeling the same way. Maybe you're feeling it, too?
I was a little hit and miss at first, but gave myself a fresh start today with the first day of autumn. I love fall, and I am looking forward to welcoming it with a commitment to my yoga practice.
We'd love to have you join us. And if you'd like some support, I'd love to introduce you to a new friend, Marianne Elliott. I was so happy to meet her on her recent visit to Vancouver. Marianne is the real deal - a genuine and caring soul. She has a very cool offering right now - 30 days of Yoga, Karma Edition (all money goes to HIV work in Africa). If you want some guidance in your practice and a chance to contribute to some good work in the world, you must go check it out.
Leave a comment if you would like to join us and one lucky commenter will also win Marianne's 30 Days of Yoga.
UPDATE: SHERRON is the winner of Marianne's 30 Days of Yoga!

Pray the Devil Back to Hell chronicles the remarkable story of the Liberian women who came together to end a bloody civil war and bring peace to their shattered country.
Thousands of women - ordinary mothers, grandmothers, aunts and daughters, both Christian and Muslim - came together to pray for peace and then staged a silent protest outside of the Presidential Palace. Armed only with white T-shirts and the courage of their convictions, they demanded a resolution to the country's civil war. Their actions were a critical element in bringing about a agreement during the stalled peace talks.
A story of sacrifice, unity and transcendence, Pray the Devil Back to Hell honors the strength and perseverance of the women of Liberia. Inspiring, uplifting, and most of all motivating, it is a compelling testimony of how grassroots activism can alter the history of nations.
Pray the Devil Back to Hell is available through various broadcasters, platforms,
and retailers outside the US depending on the territory, including Netflix, iTunes, Vimeo, and more,
