I'm about to switch my hosting platform from Windows to Linux, and to combat the case-sensitivity, I'm going to try and run a Find/Replace in Adobe GoLive CS2 with regular expressions to make all links lowercase. I've already made all the file names lowercase on the server, but finding and checking every single link in the code by hand doesn't sound like fun. Here's my code for GoLive's Find and Replace option.
Now I realize this probably isn't the most efficient way of doing it, but I've built it slowly and tested it as I went, making sure that ONLY links in the code (i.e. "<a href="http://www.google.com">") are replaced with their lowercase equivalents. The find part works perfectly. The problem is, the \L and \E parts of the replace string don't seem to work. Every syntax I've found for converting a string to lowercase doesn't seem to work in GoLive... can anyone advise me on how to replace my matched string with itself all lowercase?

SIOUX CENTER, Iowa (AP) — The Obama administration is asking a judge to dismiss a lawsuit filed by Christian colleges in Iowa and Michigan over a mandate requiring health insurance plans to provide birth control coverage.
The Justice Department said in a filing last week the legal challenge by Dordt College and Cornerstone University is meritless and an attempt to prevent their female employees from obtaining coverage.
Dordt spokeswoman Sonya Knauss disputed that allegation, saying the college already covers most forms of birth control.
Sioux Center, Iowa-based Dordt and Grand Rapids, Mich.-based Cornerstone argue that the mandate requiring insurance plans to cover birth control coverage violates their religious freedom since many Christians oppose its use.
The Obama administration says the mandate accommodates religious-based employers by requiring third-party administrators to provide and pay for that coverage.

If Riyad plays in the first test and fails he must be dropped in the second test. This should be his last chance.
Junaid should partner with Tamim in the opening slot.
Most probably Shahadat and Rubel will take the new ball.
I would like to see Shohag playing in the first test. He cannot do worse than others. But if he is a big match performer then he will grab the chance to impress.
yeah u should drop the whole team , tamim and sakib too , what is in the world u wanna drop riad ? he is the best test player we have right now , just bcz of switching his batting position making him suffer , when the last time u saw musfiq made 50? musfiq has lower average in all format than mahmuduallah , and 2nd able he is allrounder and very effective as a offspin bowler , u dont have no clue bro, dropping riad will be a disaster for bangladesh team batting line up

The Texans wide receiver said he's had a "short conversation" with new head coach Bill O'Brien, and he left impressed.
"He seems like a great guy," Johnson said. "He seems like he really loves the game of football. He's
After a 2013 season in which he finished with 109 catches for 1,409 yards, Johnson was selected to his seventh Pro Bowl. He didn't play in the annual all-star contest, however because of a wrist injury. But Johnson said he's "fine", health-wise, and missed the Pro Bowl because he "didn't want to go back out there and bang it anymore."
The football conversation also meandered to the NFL Draft, and the All-Pro wideout was asked about his impressions of Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel.
"I think he's a great player," Johnson said. "I've had a chance to meet him. He seems like a good kid.
Johnson will be honored by his alma mater on April 10, as he'll be inducted into the University of Miami Sports Hall of Fame.
"Just like playing in the NFL, I wanted to be a Miami Hurricane," Johnson said. "When I signed up for this game, I didn't think about being inducted into the Hall of Fame or anything like that. I just loved playing the game of football. To have that happen, it's a tremendous honor. Especially to be in there with some of the great players that have played there before."

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. - Junior Peter McGlynn scored the golden goal in the 102nd minute of Saturday evening's match with visiting UC Davis to propel No. 17 UC Santa Barbara to a 2-1 victory and its first Big West Conference win of the season at Meredith Field at Harder Stadium. The match was the Gauchos' fifth to go into overtime and the win was their first in extra time this year.
UCSB improves to 4-3-2 on the year and 1-1 in the Big West while UC Davis falls to 2-7-0 and 0-1. Prior to tonight's win, the Gauchos had gone 0-2-2 in their previous overtime contests.
The game-winning play began with a pass from James Kiffe to Danny Barrera on the left side of the field. Barrera crossed the ball into the box to McGlynn, who headed it in to seal the Gaucho win. It marked the first goal of the season for the junior and the second of his career.
The UCSB offense had gotten rolling early as the Gauchos created several shot opportunities in the opening minutes of the game. Joe Eubanks had two great looks in the first eight minutes, but the first went wide and the second deflected off the post.
Michael Nonni got an open shot in the ninth minute when he beat a pair of defenders, but Aggie goalkeeper Ryan McCowan came up with the save. Nonni didn't take long to attack again. In the 10th minute, Barrera found Kiffe, who crossed the ball into Nonni in front of the goal. The forward headed the ball in to give UCSB an early 1-0 lead.
The Aggies were able to battle their way back into the game on a set piece in the 34th minute. Nick Grigoriev crossed his corner kick into the box where Alex Aguiar connected with a header. A line of Gaucho defenders blocked the shot, but Lance Peterson got to the deflected ball and headed it in to tie the game at one apiece.
UCSB controlled possession for the majority of the second half, out-shooting the Aggies, 8-1, and had a 5-1 advantage in corners. The Gauchos struggled, though, to get past UC Davis as the team was packed back onto the defensive end for the majority of the half.
With the game still tied at one-all, the teams were forced into overtime. David Opoku looked as if he was going to win the game for the Gauchos in the first overtime period when he connected for a header off of Barrera's free kick in the 93rd minute, but the shot went just wide. It ended up being the last shot for either team prior to the game-winner from McGlynn.
For the game, the Gauchos out-shot the Aggies, 14-5, and had a slight 5-4 advantage in corners. Chris Hunter, Barrera and Eubanks led all players with three shots while Nonni had a game-high two on-frame. Barrera and Kiffe were credited with assists on both of the Gauchos' goals.
In the goal, freshman Eric Reyes made his first collegiate appearance and recorded two saves.
"We can't play these (overtime) games expecting something bad to happen," head coach Tim Vom Steeg said. "It's nice to get the goal that wins us the game and finally get over the hump in these overtime games."
The Gauchos will continue Big West play next Wednesday, Oct. 6 when they host to Cal State Fullerton for a 7 p.m. pairing at Meredith Field at Harder Stadium.

First time underwater and wide angle photography attempt. I was lucky to get these nice composition but I'm not sure how to improve it.
Equipment is Panasonic LX-7, one borrowed strobe (Sea & Sea YS-D1). I'm interested to get into more photography stuffs but don't know how I could make these pictures better:
Picture one:
Picture 2:
In picture 1, the strobe throw me off, should I put a diffuser on the strobe? Do I even have the strobe at the right position? There are some blur stuff (not sure if it's fish or backscatter), would increase shutter speed get rid of those?
For both pictures, the sun is not behind me, so what can I do to get darker blue. You can tell it's a pretty shallow area, should I do custom white balance or use auto white balance? The pictures above are color corrected from a RAW file, I would rather get it right the first time without doing too much to the RAW file.
Any pointers? Thanks!

MONTREAL — Us mere mortals wouldn't be able to go to an office job with the facial injury Chris Kelly suffered last Monday, let alone play in an NHL game.
Although he reportedly didn't suffer a fracture, Kelly has an ugly shiner and plenty of swelling for his efforts.
And tonight he had to go with a full cage over his face in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference quarterfinal series with Montreal at the Bell Centre.
Well, if his performance in the Bruins' series-tying 5-4 overtime win is any indication how he handles the pain, the Bruins might be willing to bang up Kelly's face a little more as this series and the playoffs roll on.
The pain failed to slow Kelly down on the ice or dampen his enthusiasm after the victory.
Kelly scored the game-tying goal with 6:18 left in regulation and then set up Michael Ryder's game-winning goal 1:59 into overtime. The goal was his first scored in this series on a non-empty net. He has now matched his total from 24 regular-season games in a Bruins uniform.
"I think we were just kind of getting the puck to the net and tried to outnumber them and it popped out to me and I whacked at it and it went 5-hole," said Kelly about his goal.
On the game-winning play, Kelly retrieved Rich Peverley's wide shot off the glass and then feed it to Ryder sitting at the left of the slot.
"I was definitely excited to see 'Rides' get the puck backdoor there and put it in," said Kelly. "I thought our line didn't have a great first period, but I thought we bounced back well in the second and so on."
For the night, the Kelly-Peverley-Ryder line combined for eight points. They were on the ice when Montreal scored the first goal of the game, but in the second period Ryder tied the game and the trio continued to improve from there.
"Besides the first shift that those guys had, they were really good the rest of the night," said head coach Claude Julien. "And he was one of those guys. Michael scored two goals, but Kelly scores one and gets an assist on another one. That whole line was really good for us tonight. You need those kinds of things in the playoffs. You need guys to step up."

Incidentally, they should even be able to re-cast all the original device voice actors if they can get them, because the Engrish is just the way the lines were written. For example, the VA for Raising Heart was also the Narrator voice in the English dub of Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles, which was in perfect English and even had a slight Irish accent (very nice voice, IMO). So it's not like the VAs were incompetent, they just read the lines they were given. It's mostly a case of bad writing and bad voice direction, which makes sense since all the writers and producers were Japanese. I think it'd be sort of cool if they got the original voices back to re-do the Engrishy lines, but we'll see. Probably too much work.

VA's - In Japan, it's considered immensely rude to correct a superior. In fact, their status automatically makes them correct, regardless of what the truth may be. If a high-ranking businessman tells the world's top Guilty Gear champion that Dizzy is the crazy guy who manifests spirits, then he has to smile, agree, and suck it up. And the fact that the VA's here are white makes it all the deeper of a problem.
I don't know how expensive they'd be to hire from overseas but if they could get good recordings of the lines read without the engrish, I'd prefer that. But if they can't, I'd prefer they use the existing engrish than try to get more VA's. The lower the savable voicing costs, the higher the chance that we'll see a good production in all other areas.

They may be westerners, but that their voices were used in Nanoha, a Japanese production, makes it highly likely that they live in Japan.
But then again, maybe they have moved, or do work remotely. Who knows.

I'm pretty sure Donna Burke, although Australian (I think) has nlived in Japan for a number of years.
Even if working online, it'd still be a world of problems if she'd have tried to correct their engrish. It's not about working in Japan. It's about working on a japanese production.

Its almost certain that they have the license for Nanoha as well, since I don't think they've ever registered domains just to fool people with their licenses before.
Now its just the waiting game for the license announcement, which I'm guessing will be announced at that Nanoha Party thing April 1st.

So far, every domain Geneon has registered has resulted in a license, but until they make an official statement we have to assume it's just rumour. Just because When They Cry - Higurashi has been announced doesn't mean anything for the others (Nanoha, Maria-sama ga Miteru, Saiunkoku Monogatari).

I hope that they take "Magical Girl Lyrical" out of the title and just leave it at "Nanoha" for the R1 release. Whenever I try to recommend MGLN to someone that's looking for a good action anime, I always get a "WTF, the magical girl genre is still alive? DO NOT WANT!" reaction until I show them an AMV or badass Fate wallpaper or something. The phrase "magical girl" seems to drive a lot of people away...

people trying to look for a good anime to watch will probably turn away from the phrase "magical girl" in the anime
but at the same time
changing the title to just "Nanoha" wont really make sense
especially to the fans that already know about magical girl lyrical nanoha

I'm gonna have to agree with Bloodsu..SEEKER on this one. If they leave it MSLN it'll greatly reduce interrest. I think just "Nanoha" is a good name for it. Maybe Lyrical Nanoha, but I think even that doesn't have the same impact. Tho calling it "The Nanoha" is kind of badass, it just doesn't sound good.
My DVDs (which I made myself for my own use but haven't burnt to disc yet) are titled:
Lyrical Magical
The Other Magician
Shoot First, Ask Questions Later
Black and White
I used the full anime's name of Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha but in retrospect, I wish I'd just used "Nanoha". It just works much better and it's far easier to get people to agree to watch it.

You got it right this time.
I never thought that giving it titles other than listing the show's name and the volume was all that important... though if I were to name them:
1. Raging Heart
2. Rival
3. Allies
4. Redemption
And they need to release it with four episodes on the first dvd (its gonna suck if they stop at three, seeing as how the first three episodes were typical magical girl crap... I've ran into a few people that gave it a chance and were turned away by the first three episodes being exactly what the show title suggested they are) and three on the rest, IMO.

Yeah, personally the first time I encountered "well, I've never heard of Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha, but it's a magical girl show, so it has to be bad", I just sat there stunned for several minutes, as my worldview got a severe realignment. I've only talked about the show to people who've already seen it for so long that I didn't even consider how the title must sound to those who've never seen it and don't like the standard stereotypical plots in magical girl shows.
Personally, based on gut instinct and feelings, I would prefer that they leave it as "Magical Girl (or Mahou Shoujo) Lyrical Nanoha", if only because the full name (in Japanese) is on all the logos and eyecatches. It's a bit like calling CCS "Sakura", instead of the full "Card Captor Sakura". It just doesn't feel right.
However, I have to concede that the arguments for making it sound more, well, manly are very valid.
I wonder if it's possible to show this on American TV. On the one hand, it's the sort that might appeal to the mythical mainstream audience, since it does have lots of action. On the other hand, there's all the Fate abuse by Precia, which may not be suitable. (I keep thinking back to when I found out ROD TV was being aired in the US, and trying to compare the "mature situations" level of that and this.) If nothing else, letting the General Public know that not every show with a magical girl in it follows the standard stereotypes would go a long way, and is a possible argument for keeping the "Magical Girl" in the title.

I read with some amusement about the Pell Grant reduction and once again Americans found out how another liberal idea of spending unnecessarily met limited success. The story dealt with a 36-year-old woman who wants sympathy for not being able to continue her education at taxpayers' expense (Pell Grant) even though she has attended college since 2000 and has the equivalent of six full years in college.
Danielle Torno indicated she wanted to turn her life around next year with additional federal money. What does she have to show for the 12 years she has spent in college besides having four kids, and how does she support them? With another entitlement program?
Pell Grants are being reduced from nine years to six. Those of us who attended college for the standard four years, unless it was a special type and broader field of learning, turned our lives around by using the knowledge that we had learned in the four years and went to work.
As usual, as soon as the government starts a giveaway program, they will always have participants for years - if not a lifetime. We need to stop the dependency of a lot of programs that are shrinking this country's growth. President Barack Obama said everyone needs to do their fair share. Let's start with those who pay nothing.

Nail Yakupov scored a power-play goal at 3:52 of overtime and the Edmonton Oilers fought back after giving up a goal late in regulation to beat the Coyotes at Phoenix, 2-1, Wednesday night.
The Oilers appeared to be on their way to helping Devan Dubnyk (27 saves) to his fifth career shutout, but put their goalie in a bind when Sam Gagner was called for a penalty and the Coyotes pulled goalie Chad Johnson.
Nick Johnson took advantage, whipping a shot past Dubnyk's glove side with 19 seconds left in regulation after teammate Radim Vrbata failed on a backhander.
Yakupov ended it in overtime, punching in a rebound after a shot by Ales Hemsky caromed off teammate Taylor Hall.
Dubnyk stopped 27 shots and Lennart Petrell scored his first goal since Feb. 27, helping the Oilers end a five-game losing streak to Phoenix.
Chad Johnson had 19 saves after notching his first NHL shutout two days earlier.
Coming off their best game of the season, the Coyotes were in a familiar position: Wondering what will happen after the latest chapter in their ownership saga.
Since a new lease agreement with the City of Glendale was reworked in November, it appeared former San Jose Sharks CEO Greg Jamison would have no trouble buying the team from the NHL before a Jan. 31 deadline. Jamison told the Arizona Republic this week that he expected to have the deal done in time.
But on Wednesday, a league official told the Associated Press it was unlikely Jamison would have the money or investors he needs to purchase the team before the midnight Thursday deadline, leaving the team in limbo yet again.
Of course, the Coyotes have played well against the backdrop of uncertainty in the past, reaching the playoffs each of the past three seasons — making the Western Conference finals for the first time last year — while potential owners come and go.
Senators 5, Canadiens 1 — Daniel Alfredsson scored his first goal of the season as host Ottawa routed Montreal.
Jim O'Brien, Mika Zibanejad, Chris Phillips and Chris Neil also scored for the Senators, and Craig Anderson had 31 saves in his 300th career game. Tomas Plekanec scored for Montreal, which had won four straight.
Wild 3, Blackhawks 2 — Matt Cullen scored 90 seconds into the game and again in a shootout to lift host Minnesota, handing Chicago its first loss in seven games this season.
Cullen's snap shot in the third round slipped between Corey Crawford's legs, and Patrick Sharp then hit the crossbar for Chicago. The Blackhawks and San Jose were the only teams to start 6-0 this year. The Wild improved to 4-1 at home.
Canucks 3, Avalanche 0 — Backup Roberto Luongo made 24 saves for his first win of the season for host Vancouver.

Rangers captain Ryan Callahan will be sidelined 10-14 days after hurting his shoulder in New York's victory over Philadelphia Tuesday night.
Callahan, who scored the winning goal, against the Flyers, was injured early in the third period during a scuffle with Philadelphia forward Max Talbot.

The NHL suspended Islanders forward Colin McDonald for two games after a boarding incident involving Penguins defenseman Ben Lovejoy on Tuesday in the Islanders' 4-1 win at the Consol Energy Center.

Humanitarian Law Project On June 21, 2010, the Supreme Court upheld an extremely broad application of federal laws prohibiting material support for designated foreign terrorist organizations (FTOs).1 Writing for a six-justice majority, Chief Justice Roberts ruled in Holder v. Humanitarian Law Project (HLP) that it was "the considered judgment" of Congress to criminalize "even seemingly benign support," including pure political speech meant to advance the use of international law to reduce conflict, advance human rights, and promote peace.2 According to the HLP Court, such speech constitutes "material support" of terrorism, as defined by 18 U.S.C. § 2339B. This decision is more than a disappointment to humanitarian groups, journalists, lawyers, and academics; it significantly expands the scope of § 2339B, criminalizing activities widely regarded as legal, desirable, and protected b

LOWELL -- Pit bulls have gotten a bad rap over the years, often associated with dog fighting or attacking innocent bystanders.
Sun staff photos can be ordered by visiting our MyCapture site.
But on Sunday, an advocacy group tried to show that pit bulls can be well-behaved, as about 30 owners brought their pit bulls for a calm, four-mile walk around downtown Lowell.
BSL Awareness Walks, a group of "responsible pit-bull owners" against breed-specific legislation (hence the acronym) took a 90-minute stroll through Lowell, as their pit bulls played with each other and enjoyed the beautiful day.
"Our dogs are challenging stereotypes one step at a time and changing minds one walk at a time," said Nancy Julian, who coordinates the walks. "We always have to fight, not just in terms of laws, but we also have to fight in terms of people.
Julian, a resident of North Grafton, said the group hopes to walk their pit bulls in all Massachusetts cities and towns that either banned dogs or had breed-specific legislation. The walks are not rallies, protests, demonstrations, events or marches, she said; their goal is simply to show residents that well-behaved pit bulls exist.
In 2011, Lowell passed an ordinance that required that pit-bull owners spay or neuter their dog, register with the City Clerk's Office, keep the dog on a leash when it's off the owner's property, and have the dog wear a muzzle or be secured in a temporary enclosure.
Sun staff photos can be ordered by visiting our MyCapture site.
The ordinance was passed in response to a spate of pit-bull attacks and a concern of an overpopulation of pit bulls in the city.
But the state Legislature passed a law in 2012 that prohibits breed-specific legislation, overruling Lowell's Responsible Pit Bull Ownership Ordinance.
"Before (the legislation), cities and towns would react to dog attacks and target breeds, but that really isn't the issue," said Mike Keiley of the city's Animal Advisory Committee, and director of the MSPCA's Noble Family Animal Care and Adoption Center in Methuen.
Instead, he said, the focus should be on responsible owners and promoting responsible ownership within the community.
Sun staff photos can be ordered by visiting our MyCapture site.
On Sunday, several pit-bull owners from Lowell and across the state came out to show that they're responsible owners and that they have obedient dogs.
Hayley McGuire, of Lowell, who owns a blue-nose pit bull, said she hopes the breed-specific legislation doesn't come back.
"There's definitely a lot of fighting activity in an urban city like Lowell, but the bad owners ruin it for us good, responsible owners," McGuire said.
Sun staff photos can be ordered by visiting our MyCapture site.
Referring to her dog, she said, "Everywhere we go, people act scared of him, but he's the nicest dog ever, and it's just too bad they get the bad reputation."
Chris Howard, who owns The Animal Haus in Chelmsford, a bull-breed advocate store, said the only reason his 4-year-old pit bull, Leo, should get a muzzle is because "he licks your face too much."
The breed-specific legislation wouldn't work because the same irresponsible owner who gets the pit bull would get a German shepherd, causing that breed to become the next dangerous dog, he said.
"It's all about the owner," Howard said. "They need to work on training people to manage their dogs the right way."

Democrats to participate in House GOP Benghazi query
UPDATED: Wed., May 21, 2014, 11:08 a.m.
WASHINGTON — House Democrats will participate in the special, Republican-led select committee investigating the deadly 2012 attack in Benghazi, Libya, despite serious concerns within the party that the inquiry is an election-year ploy to energize core GOP voters.
In a brief statement, Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi said she will appoint the full complement of five Democrats on the 12-member panel, tapping lawmakers who have been deeply involved in previous congressional investigations of the Sept. 11, 2012 assault on the U.S. diplomatic outpost.
Four Americans, including U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens, died in the attack when militants stormed the mission.
The Democrats who will join seven Republicans are Reps. Elijah Cummings of Maryland, the ranking member on the Oversight committee; Adam Smith of Washington, the top Democrat on the Armed Services panel; Adam Schiff of California, a member of the Intelligence committee; Linda Sanchez, also of California, who is on Ways and Means' oversight subcommittee, and Tammy Duckworth of Illinois, who serves on Armed Services.
Cummings will serve as the ranking member on the select committee. Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, had selected Rep. Trey Gowdy, R-S.C., a seasoned prosecutor, to be the panel's chairman.
Democrats have been divided over whether to boycott the investigation, the eighth probe. Some Democrats have called the new inquiry a political sham designed to embarrass the Obama administration and rough up former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, a potential 2016 presidential candidate.
Among Democratic leaders, Rep. Jim Clyburn of South Carolina reiterated his reservations on Tuesday. Clyburn had said, "If you're going to have a hanging, don't ask me to bring the noose."
Other Democrats have maintained that they must participate in the select committee to ensure they have a role in questioning witnesses.
Pelosi and Boehner met for an hour on Tuesday, and she held subsequent meetings with Democratic leaders. Her staff and aides to Boehner discussed the parameters of the investigation.
At the White House, spokesman Jay Carney wouldn't comment on Pelosi's potential decision, but said there was reason to suspect the House GOP's investigation "might not be divorced from politics."
"We defer to the leader," Carney said, referring to Pelosi.
"Our view has always been — and it has been not just our view, but our practice — that it is appropriate to have legitimate congressional oversight," Carney added, without elaborating on whether the Gowdy-led investigation constitutes legitimate oversight.
The Benghazi attack has become a conservative rallying cry, with Republicans accusing the Obama administration of intentionally misleading the public about the nature of the attack and stonewalling congressional investigators.
The special investigation means high-profile hearings in the months leading up to the elections, with Republicans likely to target current and former administration officials. Almost certain to be called to testify is Clinton.
The panel is authorized to work through the end of the year, past November's midterm elections, when the GOP hopes to win control of the Senate and tighten its majority grip on the House.
In the 20 months since the attack, multiple independent, bipartisan and GOP-led probes have faulted the State Department for inadequate security in Benghazi, leading to four demotions. No attacker has yet been arrested.

Graham Drive-In Enters Contest and You Can Help!
The Graham Drive-In needs to do a costly overhaul and you can help make it happen! The theater, which has been around since 1948, needs to spend around $130,000 plus installation to convert to digital projection. Help has come in the form of a contest through Honda, and a few clicks of the mouse may make this dream a reality.
The contest starts on August 9, with 49 other drive-ins taking part. Voting continues through September 9, and The Graham Leader states the top five theaters will receive a digital projection purchase and installation. It is believed you may vote once per day during the time period.
The 1950s were when drive-ins were at their peak, with an estimated 4,000 to 5,000 theaters in operation. It is now believed that there are only 355 operational drive-ins in the United States, with 17 of those located in Texas.
In Graham, the drive-in is still operating on 35mm film, something that won't be an option after this year. That means the costly upgrade must take place if they hope to stay in business, but that's a lot of dough. Their Web site states:
This is a marathon, not a race. So please vote every day! While you drink your coffee in the morning, vote for Graham Drive In. After you put the kids to bed, vote for Graham Drive In. When you take your lunch break, vote for Graham Drive In.
Vote here to make it happen!

Star Lotulelei who reminds me of Ngata would be available if we had #1 pick. Then with a third pick up a guard like Warford or Winters. I might do that trade for Revis; however, no QB at #1. With #2 QB Nassib or Manuel probably be available.
If we had a competent GM last year we could have traded revis and multiple picks for RG3. St louis was trading the pick for sure, RG3, unlike smith was a sure thing like luck, and that has been quickly proven.. Revis value was much higher last yr pre injury and 2 years before FA.
Jets would be stupid to draft up #1 to get smith, he can probably be had at #9
[QUOTE=McGinley;4818464]Yes, getting rid of Buttfumble is what's really gonna make us a laughing stock.
Haha, this guy.[/QUOTE]
Not funny mofo!!!
G Smith is a not worth the no.1 pick .... Heck ... I don't think he is worth any first round pick.
Jets D line would be nasty
Having an extra 3rd is where we get our Guards & RB. I think the value for guards is in the 3rd this year.
Tons of athletic Olineman this year, they were commenting at the combine that they never seen so many 300lbs moving like these guys.
I know other Jet fans would not be happy but I have no problem Jets going defense in 1& 2 this year, DT+ LB.
Dallas got Lee in the 2nd last year, luv to have Star & a player like Lee!
Then you can go OG & RB in the 3rd.
Go all offense 4-7, take a TE, maybe a flyer on Lattimore if we can get him in the 4th?
The best years the Jets have had r when they are strong in the trenches, something that Tanny let fall apart in depth.
Alex Smith, Ryan Mallet, Nick Foles, Matt Flynn on TV or in the Print media, You don't hear about anyone inquiring about Sanchez.
By no market I mean a a market where a team would take on his current contract even if the jets ate any less than 7 mill of his 8.5 guaranteed salary which would leave the jets less cap space than what they have now.
Every team seen Sanchez struggles last year, What GM is going to go to his owner and say hey I got to get some of that.
Chatter. There has been CHATTER. This rumor could have originated on a message board, FFS. And probably did.
Why would the Jets trade for Smith when Smith has a great chance of being there at 8?
Sent from my LG-P769 using Tapatalk 2
All I have been hearing is how bad the Jets are against the cap. Now there is talk (crazy) about getting the #1 overall pick? And using it on Geno F'ing Smith? Is Idzik tasting advice from Trader Mike? Give me a gun NOW!

Texas, Kansas State, Kansas and Iowa State remain ranked in the AVCA national poll. Texas moved up one spot to No. 7, while K-State sits at No. 16. Kansas holds down the No. 20 ranking, while Iowa State is No. 21.
Seven matches are on tap this week, including six Conference contests. UT will face TCU on ESPNU on Wednesday night before meeting up with 16th-ranked K-State on Friday in Austin. The Longhorns enter the week with a perfect 10-0 mark in Big 12 play with six league matches remaining and a 12-match win streak intact.
Kansas improved to 8-2 with a home win over West Virginia on Monday night. The Jayhawks are 13-0 in Lawrence this season. Along with Iowa State and Texas, Kansas has yet to lose at home in Conference play on the year.
In Big 12 history, teams have posted undefeated records at home on 15 occasions. At least one conference team has been perfect at home in overall matches in every season but 2002 and 2004. The Jayhawks have four home matches left on their schedule.
With its 8-2 mark, KU sits in second-place in the league standings, while Kansas State and Iowa State are tied for third with 7-3 records. Both teams have just one league contest this week.
With their two league wins last week, the Longhorns improved their Big 12 winning streak to 24 straight matches. Texas has also won 37 consecutive home matches in Big 12 action.
Oklahoma libero María Fernanda has moved into the No. 3 spot on the Big 12 list for career digs. Fernanda's 2,037 is 73 shy of the second-place spot and 257 shy of the first place spot. She is the only active player in the top 10 of any Big 12 career statistical lists this season.
The Big 12 is 92-28 against non-conference competition this year. The Conference is 11-10 against ranked teams outside the Big 12.
For the fifth time this season, Kristen Hahn (Iowa State) earned the league's Defensive Player of the Week honor. The junior has nine career awards, which is tied for the second-most all-time in that category. Texas' Haley Eckerman earned her 11th career award by claiming the Offensive Player of the Week distinction - her fourth this season.
Kansas and Kansas State have reached the 20-win mark on the year. This is the first time since 2003 that the Jayhawks have posted 20+ victories in a season.
UT's .571 hitting percentage against Oklahoma last Sunday was the highest by a Big 12 team this season. It is also the highest hitting percentage in a contest by any league team since Missouri's .595 hitting percentage against Morgan State in 2000. It was the second-highest hitting percentage in a match in UT history.

Microsoft Reportedly Working On Its Own Smartphone 215
According to a (paywalled) report in the Wall Street Journal, Microsoft is experimenting with its own smartphone design. "Officials at some of Microsoft's parts suppliers, who declined to be named, said the Redmond, Wash.-based company is testing a smartphone design but isn't sure if a product will go into mass production." The article continues: "If Microsoft pushes ahead with its mobile phone, it would underscore how far Microsoft has moved away from its long-standing practice of making software and leaving decisions about design, features and marketing of the computing hardware to partners such as Hewlett-Packard or Samsung Electronics. ... As it does so, Microsoft pulls from a modified playbook of Apple—whose hardware-plus-software approach Microsoft officials long have scorned. ... Smartphones running Microsoft's two-year-old Windows Phone operating software for cellphones haven't sold well, and Microsoft may want to leave itself an option to test whether its own phone would spur sales."

The Blizzard of 1993 (Also called the "Storm of the Century") was one of the most intense mid-latitude cyclones ever observed in the Eastern United States. The storm will be remembered for its tremendous snowfall totals from Alabama through Maine, high winds all along the East coast, extreme coastal flooding along the Florida west coast, incredibly low barometric pressures across the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic, and for the unseasonably cold air that followed behind the storm. In terms of human impact the Blizzard of 1993 was more significant than most landfalling hurricanes or tornado outbreaks and ranks among the deadliest and most costly weather events of the 20th century.
Below are links to various National Weather Service offices and their information on The Blizzard of '93. Please leave your comments and tell us what you remember from that weekend 20 years ago.

One of the chief complaints about Holy Paladins has been their relative lack of AoE heals. This becomes particularly evident when a Paladin attempts to heal Loken in the Halls of Lightning. It should be noted however, as Ghostcrawler does and I can attest to, it can be done with a Paladin healing.
It's on this note that Ghostcrawler has provided some tips on the strategy used to defeat heroic Loken. And while these appeared in discussion about Holy Paladins, they apply to any class equally well.

ELIZABETH, N.J. (AP) — A self-proclaimed "home-free" hitchhiker who became an Internet celebrity earlier this year for using a hatchet to stop a fight is suspected of beating a New Jersey lawyer to death, authorities said Thursday.
Caleb "Kai" McGillvary, 24, was last believed to be in Philadelphia, said Union County Prosecutor Theodore Romankow.
"We don't know where he is," Romankow said. "But we do know this man is used to being on the road and he is considered dangerous."
Known as "Kai the Hatchet Wielding Hitchhiker," McGillvary took a star turn after intervening in an attack on a California utility worker. He described using a hatchet he was carrying to repeatedly hit a man who had struck the worker with his car then accosted him.
"In the past he has had the ability to use the back end of a hatchet and it's very possible he may be carrying that," Romankow said.
Joseph Galfy, Jr., was found dead in his home Monday, two days after authorities said he met McGillvary in New York City. He was found wearing only his underwear and socks by police who went to his home to check on his well-being, the prosecutor said.
Statements posted on McGillvary's Facebook page following the homicide indicated the encounter was sexual in nature, Romankow said, though he declined to go into specific detail.
On his Facebook page, McGillvary's last post, dated Tuesday, asks "what would you do?" if you awoke in a stranger's house and found you'd been drugged and sexually assaulted. One commenter suggests hitting him with a hatchet — and McGillvary's final comment on the post says, "I like your idea."
McGillvary gave a rambling, profanity-laced 5-minute interview to a Fresno television station that went viral, with one version viewed more than 3.9 million times on YouTube. He later appeared on ABC's "Jimmy Kimmel Live!"
Romankow said McGillvary had cut his long hair since the interviews. Kimmel asked him what people were saying to him since the Feb. 1 incident in Fresno, Calif. "Hey, you're Kai, that dude with the hatchet," he responded.
Romankow said McGillvary traded on that celebrity to meet fans across the country.
McGillvary met Joseph Galfy, Jr., on Saturday in Times Square. Investigators know he was there based on witness accounts, the prosecutor said.
"He was well-known," Romankow said.
McGillvary spent at least two nights in Galfy's brick home on a cul-de-sac in Clark, 20 miles west of New York, Romankow said.
Prosecutors said Galfy drove McGillvary to the train station on Sunday and McGillvary boarded a train to Asbury Park to meet a fan before returning and being picked up by Galfy later in the day. Later that night, McGillvary called the fan again asking her for a ride, Romankow said. She couldn't pick him up, and McGillvary's phone went dead after that.
According to a police reconstruction of his travels after leaving Clark, the suspect somehow got back to the train station Monday and returned to Asbury Park to meet the fan. The two traveled to Philadelphia. After lunch, they traveled to Glassboro, in southern New Jersey, and he stayed with another fan there. On Tuesday he boarded a train to Philadelphia.
McGillvary had mentioned at one point heading to Georgia to visit a girlfriend, police said.
McGillvary swiftly gained notoriety after he was interviewed about how he stopped the attack on a utility worker. McGillvary said he was traveling with a man, now facing charges including attempted murder, who veered into a Pacific Gas & Electric worker.
After the driver got out of the car, walked up to the utility worker and allegedly told him, "I am Jesus and I am here to take you home," McGillvary pulled a hatchet from his backpack and struck the driver in the head several times to subdue him, The Fresno Bee reported.
Last month, the driver entered a plea of not guilty by reason of insanity, the newspaper reported.
During his appearance on Jimmy Kimmel, McGillvary said he prefers to be called "home-free" instead of homeless.
McGillvary also goes by the names Kai Lawrence, Caleb Kai Lawrence and Kai Nicodemus, prosecutors said. A reward of $5,000 was offered for information leading to his arrest.

Bungie seems to have immediately taken to making interesting new ideas once free of Microsoft. Who could have expected that?
Except they'd already signed contracts with MS and started development prior to the split. So that was just them finishing their outstanding contracts off.
We're talking about interesting new ideas, though.
Bungie seems to have immediately taken to making interesting new ideas once free of Microsoft. Who could have expected that?
Yeah cause a MMO and the post apocalyitic setting is so unique and fresh isnt it?
Not to mention they claim it will be unlike any experince we have seen. Well, thats what every developer has said for the past deacade about their game. Every game that comes out pushes graphics to their limits, they all are unique experinces unlike anything we have seen before, they are all emotional experinces, all have complex stories and so on. THEY ALL SAY THAT.
Not to mention bungie is owned by activision. How exactly is that making them free? Bungie basically just transfered from one jail to another. You do know that activision is incredibly static and unimmmaginative right? They care more about games that they can exploit every year right? If it doesnt have franchise appeal they dont want it.
In addition, no subscription fee sounds like in-game features market. And they do all say that, it's the implementation that matters... also being bug-free helps, bugs have doomed more than one mmo. If they make the game fun, there will be a following, even if it's the same shit as yesterday, we need our graphics updated and some new characters/items to work with every once in a while right?
Yup. That's the thing that kills nearly every MMO that has attempted to compete with WoW - bugs and launch performance issues.
If you have performance issues on launch, you are doomed to fail if there is any viable competition out there, the initial experience will poison people's minds. If you DO have launch problems - you HAVE to resolve them before that first free month is up. If you don't - A ton of people are going to leave and not give you a second chance.
As I understand it, WoW had some initial launch problems, but:
1) Were resolved within the first month
2) Didn't have much viable competition out there - now everyone has to compete with well established competitors.
Aion had potential - but it had LOTS of initial problems that weren't solved until after much of their playerbase quit. They refused to provision additional servers with the end result being 2-3 hour queue times... Their reasoning was they didn't want to do a merge down the line. Yes, that's right, they PLANNED TO FAIL.
Same with Warhammer Online - It had potential, but the lag and game balance issues weren't resolved in the first month. End result: dead game.
Glad it's not just me that's noticed that, some games seem hyped up at launch, and then when they hit, everybody jumps on the bandwagon and pays their subscription fees in advance hoping to get some of the user content that is typically dangled on a line with the collectors or pre-order editions with some other perks or something of similar nature. And that's it... limited bug fixes, no tech support, constant server lag, and a dead fan base till the next big one. At least with WOW, you know what you're ge
WoW was fucked in many ways for a long time with some server issues. The thing was, there was nothing else really, and despite its problems it was still good. Warhammer online just wasn't compelling enough. Age of Conan was... *promptly bursts into a fit of laughter*
Yeah. DAoC was the only potential viable competitor when WoW came out.
However, Mythic completely destroyed the game with the ToA expansion. By the time they fixed ToA - it was WAY too late. WoW had already killed them. If WoW had gone up against a "ToA-fixed" DAoC they would have faced FAR stiffer competition.
WAR had the potential to be a DAoC 2, but Mythic fucked it up:
1) Tons of bugs on launch
2) Massive faction imbalances - DAoC always had various faction imbalance issues that went back and forth, b
The thing that usually kills a MMO is that WOW is super entrenched and most MMO's are more less copycats in Fantasy world.
I can think of one example in that Star Wars was not. It has some launch problems initially, but not for long. However from what I have heard, it was super fun leveling up, but once you got to the end game, well there wasn't any really. If anyone looked at WOW as a model of what to do to make money and a good MMO, it would be that the leveling up is just the begining, the end game is the

I'm a game developer. I'll admit I'm working on a game that uses a post apocalyptic setting, but our setting is so far removed from the event in time and space that your history is not just forgotten, but erased, undiscoverable, and insignificant; A new cycle of life is now underway -- with new life both flourishing and struggling to survive. I'm not pushing the graphics to it's limits, I'm actually focusing on a 90's era reduced-color-palette solid-shaded polygonal look with sparse textures for details,
DayZ? Pretty much a complex (and very interactive) story generator. Also, it can be emotional. The new stand-alone is a straight up MMO too.
Name 3. No? Name 1.
The oft rumored Fallout Online (which would be awsome) is the only one to come to mind, and it doesn't exist yet, if ever.
Bungie seems to have immediately taken to making interesting new ideas once free of Microsoft. Who could have expected that?
You mean, making a game that would be monetized to all hell and back? That's an interesting new idea.
Look at the publisher behind them - and look at what they did to Blizzard. Everything freaking thing is monetized, and Activision is also known for their nickle and diming of people.
Plus, Bungie was spun off from Microsoft sround 2008 or so - they continued with Halo because Microsoft kept paying big bucks to keep the lights on (I think Microsoft guaranteed that - though Microsoft was not exclusively using Bungie).
This game will probably be like what happened to Blizzard - you'll need a new combined battle.net/bungie.net account to play single player, you'll be asked for a name that will also permanently link you to that account (without warning you so they can ding you $10 because you used your real name). And yeah, you can play the campaign, but they'd also offer ways to upgrade yourself or buy more save slots.
Etc. etc. I bought Starcraft 2. Wanted Diablo 3, but my poor SC2 experience meant I skipped D3 and will not buy the upcoming "expansion".
Oh yeah, MMO - this will be like WoW as well. And yet another good studio circles the drain, driven that way by executive greed.
Look at the publisher behind them - and look at what they did to Blizzard. Everything freaking thing is monetized, and Activision is also known for their nickle and diming of people.
That's a great theory except that Blizzard is a separate and autonomous division with its own corporate leadership. It is not run by Activision. Oh and the fact that Blizzard was nickle-and-diming long before the merger.
Activision doesn't publish Blizzard's games. It is its own publisher just as it was before their merger. It is also run on its own separate from the parent corp. Bobby Kotick doesn't run Blizzard. That was part of their merger deal. Get some facts before spewing shit.
Once WOW hit, expecting anything else decent from Blizzard went out the window. They have THE MMO (hate it or love it, the numbers speak), they're set for a long time. SC2 wasn't bad... they delayed it so much it made it kinda ridiculous, a lot of vets came pack, played a while and left, it just didn't have the re playability or attention of detail of the first one. D3... showed me that I don't need the SC2 expansion, I can name a dozen games that are identical to it, some of which are more fun. Oh well
How is a Free to Play (AKA Pay to Win) MMO an "interesting new idea"?
Reading comprehension:
From TFS:
There will apparently not be a subscription model, so gamers won't have monthly fees to deal with, either.
Where does that say Free to Play?
Also, this:
http://www.amazon.com/Destiny-Xbox-360/dp/B002I096Q4 [amazon.com]
They're not exactly giving it away. You buy the full-price game & get access to the MMO.
I'm also assuming you will be paying for each of those 10 "books" or expansions.
Yeah. FPS. MMO. Fresh as virgin snow melt through an untainted aquifer.
I thought it was a pc game turned console game tuned pc port?
From http://palladiumbooks.com/ [palladiumbooks.com]
Played that game from when it first came out all through the 90s. Always loved the art and would almost think the art on this link would fit seamlessly in with it.
Actually, that was their weakness. They were dedicated to a one-rules system for all their RPGs; even when it made no sense. It worked great for Palladium, but it sucked for Rifts and Robotech which I played a lot. Robots and technology simply need a different system.
I had always wondered how well their system actually worked for the various genres...thanks for the info.
Yeah they came up w/ an MDC system (mega damage capacity) which was roughly 100 SDC=1MDC and nothing SDC damage class could hurt anything MDC. It's like a crude armor piercing system. That works OK I guess when all youre concerned about is robots bashing each other, but when a game world gets as complex as Rifts with so many levels of players, vehicles, robots, aircraft, etc. it can cause problems. That leads to the power creeping when you've got some mage casting spells w/ enough damage to flatten a cit

The shark, it has been jumped.
This is the company that made halo, that should say it all. This is another game for fratboys not PC gamers. Hard to believe these people made Tribes not so long ago.
Bungie didn't make Tribes, that was Dynamix (at least for the versions that were worth a damn). Before Halo, Bungie's big games were Marathon and Myth.
Yes, and then Microsoft bought them out to make games for the XBox.
On my list of things to hate Microsoft for this is #1. By a wide margin.
I really liked Marathon and Myth.
I really wanted to hate all console FPSes and then I played Halo. I am well known as a Microsoft antagonist so you know I am not just being a fanboy. Halo is different from other console FPSes. I don't know why, what it is, I don't claim to know, I'm not a game designer and frankly I'm not a hardcore gamer and never really have been, though I have spent possibly entirely too many hours gaming anyway.
I still think the best multiplayer FPS experience was LMCTF on Quake, but that doesn't mean I can't appreciate something a little less twitchy.
I like console FPS actually. I loved GoldenEye. Halo sucks, it is an FPS dumbed down for the fratboy set.
I like console FPS actually. I loved GoldenEye.
I hated Goldeneye. The N64 didn't have enough cojones to provide a textured world. It looked like shit, I couldn't see anything. And that was one of the worst controllers of all time, especially for those of us with big hands.
Halo sucks, it is an FPS dumbed down for the fratboy set.
Oh please, do tell us what is dumbed down about the Halo series as compared to every other shooter ever? You can do more stuff in it than you can in most shooters, it has as many gimmicks as the average shooter, what do you want? Especially when you get up into the later games, they ad
It seemed to look fine to me. We sure played a lot of golden gun.
How about the regenerating health? Or the instant respawn?
How about the regenerating health? Or the instant respawn?
Not only did Halo not invent regenerating health, but they don't actually have regenerating health [giantbomb.com]. The instant respawn is conditional and limited, which is why it is not twinkie. You can only respawn not near enemies. You don't respawn instantly in multi. In single you respawn at the last checkpoint. None of this is nerfy.
Oh noes it was the shield. Whatever, same shit.
Face it, this is a game for fratboys. Deal with it.
Oh noes it was the shield. Whatever, same shit.
So, when you're wrong, you move the goalposts.
Face it, this is a game for fratboys. Deal with it.
It is because you say it is? Two logical fallacies in one comment. I have detected that you are full of shit.
And I detect you are a pedantic fuck.
If your statements cannot stand up to pedanticism, perhaps you should consider the fact that you're wrong.
I admit I was wrong, regenerating health was halo 2.
And yet, as per my link, the concept predates even Halo, which you are ignoring because it conflicts with your view of reality. We call this cognitive dissonance.
it was moved to Xbox and designed to dumb down FPS for that group of players. MS did this to move Xbox units. Look at the folks playing it. When is the last time you played TF2 and heard kids yelling homophobic racist crap about your mother?
I've never played TF2. But I've also never heard kids yelling homophobic racist crap about my mother, or anyone else's, while playing Halo. I've only ever heard one kid yelling, and he was mostly incoherently babbling to one of his friends who
I admitted the concept predates halo. It made it popular in first person shooters.
No cognitive dissonance. The amount of racist, homophobic cursing crap on Xbox live is the stuff of legends. It is that common.
Halo had its good points, like the beautiful outdoor settings and its use of vehicles. The multiplayer modes were passable but paled in comparison to the likes of Unreal Tournament and Quake 3. The storyline is decent if unmemorable and the ring worlds are a neat idea.
The single player campaign, though... it was like a cheap toy. The outdoor levels were fun at first but after an entire game of playing the same limited, uninspired handful of enemies using the same limited, uninspired weapons, it was a chore.
I hated Goldeneye because of the sucky N64 controller which I absolutely loathe. (I'm short, small hands) I have a used N64 and a few games but rarely played them because of that godawful controller and that godawful stick.
Halo is different from other console FPSes. I don't know why, what it is...
Probably due to the sluggish and slow controls. You mention Quake, compare the movement in Quake to the movement in Halo. Halo is much slower. Even if you turn the sensitivity on Halo up to 10, it still moves slower than default Quake.
The "less twitchy" you mention is exactly what makes a FPS work on a console. Joysticks are harder to control in such small, quick movements with only a thumb. Mouse, which is being moved with your whole hand, and has a much wider range of movement (can physically move fart
The "less twitchy" you mention is exactly what makes a FPS work on a console.
Well, you probably have it right. Halo also just has a combination of good weapons (they're all useful, down to the very first pistol) and, perhaps related to the untwitchiness, a fluid gameplay that I find very satisfying. Sure, when you're losing it's just like any other game, but when you're winning it gives a feeling of rhythm that I never had with Quake or frankly any other game except occasionally UT multiplayer. Shoot that guy, jump over this thing, club that guy, bam bam bam.
Joysticks are harder to control in such small, quick movements with only a thumb.
For aiming, yes..it can be difficult...one does get better at it with practice though. It sometimes depends on the game. Timesplitters is one console FPS that deserved mouse support and didn't have it, because of the fast paced gameplay....the original entries in the SOCOM series...because of their slow paced realism...not so much, The newer SOCOM's have been COD'd a bit.
But for movement give me an analog stick or even a joypad over WASD anyday.
This is another game for fratboys not PC gamers.
Meanwhile, beyond the Land Of False Dichotomies...
This isn't what you're thinking of your typical MMO. It's basically a shooter MMO. And not really even MMO. It's more, as I understand it, like Journey. That is, you encounter other people in certain circumstances. Anyway, I see no problem with attempting this on a console. I think it's fantastic. I'm just disappointed that it's on the current generation which, by the time the game launches, will be the last generation of hardware. I just don't see this 2005 console hardware and scaffolding holding up to so
I just don't see this 2005 console hardware and scaffolding holding up to something this supposedly massive and complex.
If you don't regularly encounter lots of other people then it's really not a problem, all the heavy lifting is on the server side. The problem for me is that my internet connection sucks. We've all got problems, though.
"And not really even MMO. It's more, as I understand it, like Journey. That is, you encounter other people in certain circumstances."
So it's like SWTOR then?
And not really even MMO. It's more, as I understand it, like Journey.
I dunno, Journey [arcade-museum.com] sounds like it would extend well into the MMO playstyle, what with the Band metaphor translating directly into a party-based format.
Although there may be some job balance issues, with the "Steve Perry"-class being a little too good at soloing.
I think part of what made the subtle multiplayer elements of Journey successful was the anonymity and simplicity of it all.
There was very little other players could do in that game to be a complete asshole. This is important because average joes in multiplayer will often drop in an just bee-line straight for the maximum asshole threshold.
People played through Journey with strangers and bonded with them in the experience, often finding themselves surprised to find that it was with xxx420NeoYOLO420xxx. That w

Like GW2, SWTOR, TSW.
I'll wait and see, but I'm not holding my breath.
So they plan to release books with a storyline that is subsumed by the activities of the players in the game? That sounds very nice. It is a like a glorified log file of some sort.
Well EVE and specific EVE players made the news and became somewhat famous only a few weeks ago for that gigantic battle they just had.
MIght be kind of interesting, an auther might need some creative licence to make it work I would think. (There has been some debate that the player that caused the huge EVE battle was an idiot, made a misclick mistake, or did it intentionally).
Secret World. Not doing so well. That part's not so secret.
It'll be console-only from what I understand.
Not that kind of console.
Console-only means no keyboard and no mouse which means not a real MMORPG.
From the website, it's only for the Xbox360 and PS3. It's just another run-of-the-mill shooter like Halo.
The next big thing(TM) game should be Titan, from Blizzard.
From what I'm reading it's going to be more akin to Dust514 on the PS3, which is already out and part of the EVE Online universe.
Console-only means no keyboard and no mouse which means not a real MMORPG.
Since when does a game being an MMORPG absolutely require a keyboard and mouse. All a game requires to be an MMORPG are two things: being massively multiplayer online and being an RPG.
I've played 4 console games that fit that criteria, none of which "required" a keyboard or mouse. Although I did and do play them with a keyboard attached.

Approach is akin to the story-driven TOR. I see nothing particularly special or original about what they've expressed so far outside of the setting.
I hope this game will not be exclusive to Microsoft platforms. There's gamers on the Mac, too. And hopefully Bungie won't use something like Cider for their Mac version and will do native OS X code instead.
I was about to tell you to RTFA but then I realized that the submitter used a really poor article. His bad.

Remember the early Halo previews? It was supposed to be a third person shooter, set in an open persistent world, with massive team-based multiplayer. Then Microsoft bought Bungie, and they "consolized" the damn thing into a fine-looking but rather mediocre game. If they get rid of horrible ideas such as limited weaponry and auto-recharging shields, and have an option for third-person view, they could make Destiny what Halo should have been.

I moved up here for work recently, and have completely fallen in love with the Alps. So many endless trails and epic scenery - rivaling some of the best spots in the Sierra, IMO - and it's remote enough that it keeps the crowds down aside from a few of the flagship trails. Plus, this is only one wilderness area of several in the area, including the coastal redwoods. And I haven't even crossed into Oregon yet. I think I'm gunna like it up here.

vacuum gauge connection
Posted 30 September 2010 - 05:49 PM
Posted 30 September 2010 - 06:32 PM
As close to the center of the intake manifold as possible. On the EJ engines, that usually means a connection just to the front of the throttle body. Be sure to use a "T" so that whatever was connected there still gets vacuum while the gauge is connected.
question where can I connect a gauge up to check?
Posted 30 September 2010 - 06:54 PM
Posted 03 October 2010 - 06:35 AM
Posted 06 October 2010 - 11:39 AM
Maybe I used the wrong location?
Posted 06 October 2010 - 11:50 AM
You obviously first connected to a source of ported vacuum. What you want is a connection on the intake manifold, to the front of the TB.
I just came from outside.. my hose is a little too big in the I/D but I took the hose off on the L shaped vacuum hose just after the T/B and I got no reading until I revved the engine.. if I did the hose where the FPR was I got a good reading.
Maybe I used the wrong location?
Posted 06 October 2010 - 12:40 PM
From my understanding it should be as close and to the center as possible but haynes just shows it connected to the intake port for cyl #3

There's the PCV, too.
here you go the only lines I see is were the brake booster and the FPR
Looks like you'll have to "T" into the FPR vacuum line, since I doubt you'd want to drill and tap the manifold.
Posted 06 October 2010 - 02:29 PM
Posted 06 October 2010 - 07:15 PM
I thought we were discussing the connection of a vacuum gauge. If there's more that this is related to, you'll need to be specific.
Looks like I should do the spark plug test instead? The pvc should work too right? I think mine is due for a replacement soon
Posted 06 October 2010 - 07:29 PM
Posted 06 October 2010 - 08:28 PM
As we've discussed, the best place to measure vacuum is at a central location on the intake manifold. Sometimes that isn't a choice. Since the FPR needs to know how "all cylinders" are doing, even if the point isn't ideal, it's adequate for your needs.
The main difference the vacuum take-off point on the intake manifold will make in the measurement is that a central point tends to average it better -- that is, there's less pulsation. If you see more needle vibration than you'd like, you can dampen the movement by restricting the flow. That can be done with an orifice in the gauge's vacuum line, or something as simple as pinching the hose. Just be sure the needle movement isn't indicating an actual problem before you damp it out.

Writing Center Policies
Providing assistance to LCC students with writing projects in courses across the curriculum.
Appointments can be scheduled up to one week in advance. If you are 10 minutes late for your appointment and have not contacted the Writing Center, your appointment might be given away to a student waiting for walk-in assistance.
Failure to show for an appointment three times during a semester will result in appointment privileges being revoked for the remainder of the semester.
The Writing Center offers walk-in assistance when appointments are not filled. This assistance is very limited due to student demand.
Proof of Visit
Students who need to provide proof of their Writing Center visits to their instructors need to, prior to visiting the Writing Center, ask the instructor what information they should collect in order to receive credit for visiting. Most instructors will ask their students to provide them with the date and time of the visit, the first name of the Writing Assistant and a brief description of the feedback they received. Some instructors, however, will require students to answer more in-depth questions in order to receive credit for visiting the Writing Center. Please note: Your instructor will be able to contact the Writing Center for verification of your visit, so be sure to report accurate information about date, time and the name of the person who assisted you. Writing Assistants cannot sign their names to student papers.
Student Conduct in the Writing Center
Students in the Writing Center must abide by the College's Student Code of Conduct. This Code of Conduct prohibits engaging in assaults and threats, participating in discrimination and harassment, dishonesty (including cheating and plagiarism), disruptive behavior, lewd behavior, alcohol and drug use on College premises, failure to comply with college officials, fighting, violations of the Acceptable Use policy in the use of College computers and the LCC network and failure to abide by laws governing the State of Michigan. Any student who does not comply with the Code of Conduct may be denied Writing Center services and asked to leave the facility.
Plagiarized Assignments
The Writing Center assumes no responsibility on behalf of students who choose to submit plagiarized material in LCC courses. Additionally, the Writing Center assumes no responsibility for reporting plagiarism to instructors or college administrators. However, Writing Center employees do reserve the right to refuse assistance with written material that is plagiarized.
Children in the Writing Center
Please be aware that children are not allowed to accompany you to your appointments in the Writing Center. LCC's "Children On Campus Policy" states: "The learning environment of classrooms and labs will be free of distractions for students. Children must remain out of these areas." "This policy is intended to provide a friendly and safe campus while maintaining a learning environment for LCC students and a disruption free work place for our employees."
For more information on LCC student policies, see the Student Code of Conduct.
