OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) - The Dallas Mavericks are moving up in the Western Conference, just in time to make another Texas-sized showdown even bigger.
Dirk Nowitzki had 34 points and 13 rebounds, and the Mavericks rallied from 18 points down to beat the Golden State Warriors 112-106 on Wednesday night.
The victory moved Dallas (48-20) into a tie with the Los Angeles Lakers for second place in the Western Conference, setting up a home matchup against the NBA-best and rival San Antonio Spurs on Friday night.
``It's tremendous. Everybody's going to talk about how it's just another game. Not for this team. Not for us,' Mavericks forward Jason Terry said of the Spurs. ``We've struggled since the break against teams that are right there in contention for championships. It's a measuring stick for us. How far have we come? They're playing great.
``So it's going to be on us to see what we can do.'
Terry finished with 19 points and Rodrigue Beaubois had 18 to help the Mavericks score 15 consecutive points in the fourth quarter and pull away for the victory.
Monta Ellis had 26 points and 11 assists, and David Lee scored 22 in another disappointing defeat for a Warriors team seemingly headed for the draft lottery. They built a big lead with an incredible shooting start but couldn't keep pace late.
``It was tough. We should have had that game. I'll take the blame,' Ellis said. ``Made some mistakes at the end, turned the ball over, I didn't get the shots that I needed to. I waited too late to get everyone involved.'
Dallas came back from big deficits over and over in this one.
It was big turnaround from a night earlier, when the Mavericks lost at Portland despite shooting 59 percent from the floor. They withstood everything Golden State threw at them offensively, including one final stand.
Ellis and Dorell Wright hit consecutive 3-pointers to put the Warriors ahead 96-89 about halfway through the fourth quarter. Then it all fell apart.
Jason Kidd made a 3-pointer. Beaubois and Terry followed with easy layups. And Nowitzki, just as he's done so many times, scored the final six points in a 15-0 Dallas run - going ahead 104-96 on a crisp and cool jumper to seal it.
``Well, we're never going to panic but we certainly weren't happy,' Mavericks coach Rick Carlisle said. ``When something like that happens you've got to stick together and get motivated, and that's what our guys did.'
In what has historically been a high-scoring matchup, the Warriors made 15 of their first 17 shots to take a 32-14 lead late in the first quarter. It was as strong an offensive display as they've shown all season, and it still wasn't enough to guarantee a runaway.
The slow-footed Mavericks twice sliced the lead under double digits in the second quarter, despite sloppy defense and erratic shooting that led to a poor transition game. All it took to come back was the smallest amount of defense and a little shooting spark.
Dallas did just enough of both.
By the time the halftime buzzer sounded, a once-commanding Warriors lead was whittled down to six. The Mavericks took their first lead, 73-72, on Nowitzki's free throws with 3:12 left in the third quarter and never looked back.
``We probably got a little stagnant,' Warriors coach Keith Smart said. ``I think it was just a combination of not getting what we wanted at the time that we wanted it.'
NOTES: Ellis had seven assists in the first quarter, the most for any Golden State player in any quarter this season. ... Warriors C Andris Biedrins sprained his left ankle in the third quarter and did not return. The team said he will be evaluated Thursday. ... Dallas' Brendan Haywood (lower back stifness) did not play. ... Golden State hosted its first-ever ``Bollywood Night.' Festivities included traditional Indian dancing, music, food and attire before the game and during timeouts.

I'm in agreement with the suggestion and the general sentiment that the RESTful is the most concise way of describing the intent of the protocol. However, I recall that there was some resistance by members of the WG with the use of that word. Perhaps I'm mistaken in recalling how this conversation played out. So, I would prefer we ensure we have consensus within the WG before making yet another change to the title.

I have changed the text to add text ensuring that the empty body is appropriate for the indicated content-type and what to do if that is not the case: "Note, this option is only relevant for situations where an empty body is appropriate for the indicated content-type. Otherwise, as described in section 5.1, a 400 Bad Request should be returned." > == Comment 9 > = section 5.3 > "In the event the operation is overridden, ..." > I don't understand who is overriding the operation. This caveat is inherited from RFC 2616 (Hypertext Transfer Protocol -- HTTP/1.1) "This method MAY be overridden by human intervention (or other means) on the origin server. The client cannot be guaranteed that the operation has been carried out, even if the status code returned from the origin server indicates that the action has been completed successfully." -- http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec9.html#sec9.7 > == Comment 10 > == section 5.4 > = Multipart. > > Make this 5.4.1 or place as subsection earlier because it applies to PUT > as well, presumably. So I began to move this to a section on its own (5.2), but it doesn't seem immediately obvious that this applies to PUT. Indeed, RFC2388 is not specific to any transport method or HTTP method. However, it seems to focus only on using this with forms and the HTML form/@method attribute doesn't allow any other values besides GET and POST and the former doesn't seem appropriate for the usecase that motivated the addition of support for multipart data. So, I have left this as is. > == Comment 11 > == Discussion of service description > > Accept: application/rdf+xml > > is followed by Content-Type Turtle. > > s!Accept: application/rdf+xml!Accept: text/turtle; charset=utf-8!

Assembling talent at Ohio State has not been an issue for Urban Meyer and the Buckeyes. Neither has winning games. Despite all this, it is remarkable to think Ohio State has won just one Big Ten title in five seasons under Meyer.
This is in no way a rip on the job Urban Meyer has done since arriving at Ohio State prior to the 2012 season. The Buckeyes have gone an incredible 61-6 and have won a College Football Playoff national championship under Meyer, and the Buckeyes continue to be an absolute beast on the recruiting trail. Ohio State has made four consecutive trips to a BCS /New Years Six bowl game since Meyer has been hired, and if not for a 12-0 season of postseason ineligibility, the Buckeyes would have had another BCS game on their list of accomplishments and perhaps another national title. There is nothing negative to say about the Urban Meyer era at Ohio State even if you try really hard to nitpick away at what he hasn't accomplished.
Ohio State was embarrassed in the Fiesta Bowl College Football Playoff semifinal by Clemson this past bowl season (Clemson turned out to be pretty darn good, if you recall). The Buckeyes have gone 22-2 in the regular season the past two years, losing once on a last second field goal by Michigan State in 2015 and on a blocked field goal returned for a touchdown by Penn State in 2016. Because of those losses, Ohio State was locked out of playing for the Big Ten title. It is incredible to me to see a team with so much talent over the last half-decade play so well yet have just one Big Ten championship to show for it.
Athlon Sports: Ranking the Big Ten's Football Rosters for 2017
Of course, Ohio State went 12-0 in Meyer's first season in 2012 but was prevented from playing in the postseason due to a postseason ban stemming from the tattoo scandal that took down Jim Tressel. In Meyer's second season at the helm (2013), Ohio State played in the Big Ten championship game but lost to Michigan State, dropping the Buckeyes out of the BCS Championship Game and allowing Auburn to sneak in to play Florida State. Everything fell into place in 2014 with a Big Ten championship and a memorable showing against SEC champion Alabama and Pac-12 champion Oregon in the first year of the College Football Playoff, but the Buckeyes were upended once more by the Spartans the following season to knock the Buckeyes out of the running for a repeat bid and the 2016 season saw Penn State wiggle past Ohio State to represent the Big Ten East in the Big Ten championship game.
The lesson for Ohio State is having the distinct talent advantage does not guarantee a conference championship. Big Ten titles are nice, but the Buckeyes are also on a national championship contender stage, as was the case last season. Despite not even playing for its conference championship, Ohio State became the first team in the College Football Playoff era to be selected to the four-team playoff field without owning a conference championship. Not having a conference championship, in this particular season, did not come back to haunt Ohio State, as the Buckeyes were slated with the three-seed. The vibe put off by selection committee chairman Kirby Hocutt suggested Ohio State was sitting comfortably in the top four with significant distance between them and Penn State, a team on the rise in the playoff discussion that won the head-to-head matchup with Ohio State (but also lost to Pitt and got blown out by Michigan). Why was Ohio State given that benefit of the doubt? Beating Oklahoma on the road helped, and so did winning a game against Michigan in the final week of the regular season. The perceived talent advantage helped make Ohio State a contender before the benefit of hindsight from the Fiesta Bowl could be realized.
Ohio State continues to bring in the most talented class in the Big Ten, although Jim Harbaugh and Michigan have started to make an effort to close the gap in the past two recruiting cycles. Penn State is also on the move under James Franklin (after a third straight top 20 class, Penn State currently has the No. 1 ranked class for 2018 coming together). This week for Athlon Sports, I looked at the overall class rankings of all Big Ten teams over the past five years, and the numbers are slanted heavily in favor of Ohio State. But as I always say, it's not always about getting the talent, but what you do with it once it arrives. Ohio State having just one Big Ten title is a bit misleading when you look at what Meyer has done, because almost anybody should be able to agree Ohio State is getting their money's worth with Meyer in charge.
Do you think Ohio State will continue to lead the way, or will others start to swing the recruiting and talent in their favor?

One day a month or so ago I got a big hexie ruler and had inspiration from Victoria'Äôs blog and her 15 minutes of play and made 'Äúfabric'Äù for big hexies.¬Ý They went together very quickly.¬Ý I wasn'Äôt really sure what I was going to do with them but today while taking a break from yard work I decided to make a little table topper with them.¬Ý I hand stitched them in about 30 minutes! Like I say they went together really fast!
This is done of course totally with little scraps.¬Ý I have scrap batting for it and a fat quarter will do for the backing.¬Ý I bet I can hand quilt this little baby rather quickly 'Äì maybe tonight?
The ruler – I believe I picked it up at Joanne's for under $5 when I used my 40% coupon with it.
I know some of the fabric lines are beginning to sell pre-cut hexies of this size but you know when you have a ton of scraps to use you might want to think about making your own with your scraps 'Äì imagine the color you could have in a full size quilt ¬Ý I guess I better get busy making hexies 'Äì well maybe later in the year 'Äì I think I'Äôm busy enough right now 'Äì or I could keep the sewing machine out and remember 15 minutes of play a day could make me enough hexies to make a queen size quilt in no time at all.
If you decide to do this just keep in mind when you make them to avoid having seam lines at the intersections 'Äì makes easier going to put them together in the end.¬Ý I'Äôm glad I saw that some place and didn'Äôt make that mistake.

Gleeson's interims confirm another period of excellent progress, the highlight of which is the 31% growth in completions at Gleeson Homes. The Group is well on track for the full year with an increase in new site openings planned for the coming months as management puts the infrastructure in place to build towards its 2,000 home target. We increase our dividend forecasts by c.2% (with more potentially to come) noting a more generous dividend policy. EPS edges up by a similar amount (lower tax rate). Gleeson is in excellent shape with strong growth momentum, a highly impressive management team and income attractions (4%+ yield). It remains a Best Idea for 2018 and we are highly supportive of its unique affordable housing model.

Since our last missive, we have continued to experience volatility but there have been some signs recently of increasing stabilisation, although some nervousness clearly still persists. We have a Spring Statement from the Chancellor of Exchequer on 13 March where he will respond to the forecasts from the Office for Budget Responsibility. We have the prospect of a rise in interest rates in the short run, with further increases likely over the medium term with negative implications for 'defensives'. In Share News & Views, we comment on Hargreaves Services, RWS Holdings, Staffline and Synectics*.

A market leading photo-ID booth operator in Guangdong and Hong Kong (Max Sight Group), in which Photo-Me has a substantial stake, will IPO on 28 February. The market value will be c£24m (HK$260m) at the mid-point of the price range. This will realise a c£3m exceptional revaluation gain on its 13.75% stake. The majority of the IPO proceeds will be used to fund network expansion and upgrades in Guangdong, a vast Chinese province where it currently has 214 units. Photo-Me has the master supply agreement so, as the roll-out accelerates, it will generate operating income from the sale of photo-ID equipment as well as dividend income when Max Sight pays dividends. The news should be well received and we maintain a BUY recommendation with a 225p target price (see 28/11 note for details).

Photo-Me has an 18.33% ownership holding in Max Sight ltd, a leading operator of ID photo booths in Hong Kong and Guangdong Province, China. Max Sight intends to raise a net HK$39m, by way of a share offer, to expand its current operations. This represents 25% of the enlarged share capital. Photo-Me's holding will consequently be reduced to 13.75%. Assuming the shares trade at the mid-point of the indicative offer range, the revaluation of Photo-Me's holding would result in an unrealised gain of £3m in FY18 which will be recognised in the Income Statement and marked to market at every subsequent reporting date. We have left our EPS forecast unchanged at 9.7p for FY2018E, ahead of the planned first day of trading on 28 February.

Reckitt Benckiser's (RB) Q4-17 results missed consensus expectations, but more importantly, the outlook for organic revenue growth, gross margin progression and cash flow has deteriorated. We were not impressed with CEO Rakesh Kapoor's explanations, and believe that he has now presided over a number of value destructive acquisitions. The fact that RB is still in the running to acquire Pfizer's Consumer Health portfolio, makes us even more nervous.

This quarter we use finnCap's Slide Rule to provide both top-down and bottom-up analysis of the UK's Technology and Telecoms sectors. Our findings are very reassuring: the Tech sector scores the best (across all sectors) when considering Growth and Quality – Taptica*, Frontier Developments* and dotDigital* in particular stand out on these metrics. Given these attractive characteristics and growth prospects, the Tech sector is unsurprisingly one of the most expensive – currently trading at 17.2x FY1 EV/EBIT and 23.8x FY1 P/E, versus 15.0x and 18.5x respectively for the wider market. Despite valuations appearing high, we believe there are value opportunities. For example, Proactis* features in finnCap's QVGM+ portfolio (ranked 17/462) – the company offers attractive organic and inorganic growth, with earnings forecast to grow by 26% CAGR over the next two years, but despite this, only trades on 15x FY1 earnings and offers 8% FCF yield in FY2.

A look back at our 2017 ideas In aggregate our analyst picks outperformed the FTSE All Share last year by 9% and the cumulative performance of our portfolio over 6 years would have given a total return of 300% (almost double the return on the FTSE All Share). In addition, many of our top-down themes played out very well such as our focus on secular growth in Tech, Life Sciences, Healthcare and Financials, an increase in M&A, our cautious stance on the Consumer and especially our bet on continued strength in the Industrials last year and solid growth in the global economy. What does 2018 have in store? We continue to play ongoing secular growth themes in Tech, Life Sciences, Healthcare and Financials. In addition, we tap into domestic areas of cyclical strength such as regional construction and house building, plus self-help initiatives and potential market share gains. We maintain a favourable view of Industrials given the global economic backdrop but think this could moderate during the year. Other changes of nuance include the potential for a better H2 in the Consumer sectors, which remain under pressure for now, and a better outlook in Media from a mini-quadrennial year in 2018.

Interim results to 31 December were in line with the 19 January trading statement, with revenues rising 31% to £4.2m, resulting in a pre-tax loss of £30k and period-end cash of £2.0m. A positive outlook statement, supported by strong post-period end growth data for Skinny Tan and Roots, should provide the comfort that investors are looking for and justify H2 seasonality, which is expected to account for 69% of FY revenues (vs. c.65% in the past two years); driven by product line extensions, increasing retail shelf space and geographic expansion. Minor changes to forecasts (<5%), -2% EPS (offset by lower tax charge) are made with better year-end cash. We retain our target price of 400p, which implies a 2019 P/E, EV/EBIT and EV/Sales of 19.3x, 17.0x and 3.1x, respectively, underpinned by rising ROCE and free cash flow yield.

UP Global Sourcing Holdings, trading as Ultimate Products (UP), has identified a market opportunity to develop branded home products at prices close to own-label products. With owned home brands including Beldray, intempo and Progress, and others under license including Salter and Russell Hobbs, UP's range is attractive to retailers seeking to offer branded quality at a small premium to own-label. Driven by an experienced management team, the strategy has resulted in year-on-year underlying EBITDA growth of 75% in the recent interim results. Consensus forecasts suggest growth is likely to continue.

The latest Office for National Statistics (ONS) survey, 'Ownership of UK quoted shares: 2016', shows that retail investors are more important than most company managements realise or most capital markets professionals admit. When it is also appreciated that the data shows that retail investors set the share price for most quoted companies, most days, it becomes clear that engaging with such an audience enhances a company's standing, whilst ignoring them courts disaster.

On a standalone basis, the underlying performance of the top-line was weaker than expected; on the other hand, organic profitability seemed to be good. The numbers were much helped by the integration of Reynolds. It seems that the tobacco industry has been in shifting sands territory as unprecedented dynamic changes in the market have put pressure on tobacco players to accelerate their transformation and expand less-risky offers. We do not expect sharp changes to our target price as we had already taken a more prudent approach to our tobacco industry valuation.

Thanks to Topcotoyz I was able to test out a complimentary TLC Eve's Harness Strap-on Kit so that I can write my honest opinion about the product.
I have wanted a strap-on harness for a few years now. The kit came with one harness and two dildos of different sizes. One realistic flesh color 7 insertable inch dong with 1.5″ inch girth and the other is a purple translucent 6 insertable inch slimline dong with 1.1 inch girth. The harness is made of a material that resembles leather, but it is not leather. There are layers of fabric glued and stitched together. The harness was huge enough to accommodate up to 49 inches around the waist.
What I did not like about the TLC Eve's Harness Strap-on Kit:
- When I opened the harness kit I could immediately smell a hint of silicone. It almost smelled like paint. Taking out the two dongs for the plastic case, each one felt kind of sticky in my hands. I washed them and that it didn't work. Still sticky when they dried out.
- The harness was too huge around the waist. I had to make a hole in the harness so that it would fit more comfortable.
- The slit type opening that is in the crotch area of the harness was not lined up with my body. I didn't like the way it felt against my skin. I didn't like the opening at all, it wasn't comfortable for me.
- The harness itself seemed cheaply assembled. You can look at the photos and see that there are layers of material that are glued together and cheaply stitched together. (See Photo)
- The area that secures the dong into the O hole/ring has already torn apart after the second use. Not sure if it is because the dong might be heavy but when I tried to pull the Velcro tab open it to release the dong the tab tore. (see photo).
- The dongs do attract hair, dirt, dust and general debris and even after suggested cleaning of anti-bacterial soap the dongs are sticky & may attract debris.
- Price for this harness kit is $37.00. My personal opinion is that this is a bit pricy for the quality of the harness.
- The harness doesn't look like it should be washed. That means that it can only be wiped off. Not sure I like that. The inside of the harness is a soft smooth felt material. The outer side is a leather type material.
What I did like about the TLC Eve's Harness Strap-on Kit:
- This harness gave me the opportunity to experiment with strap-ons.
- I did like the idea that there are TWO different size dongs. Especially when using a strap-on for the first time.
- The harness was large enough for most people. Up to 49 inches which like I mentioned I had to punch a few extra holes for the harness to fit my properly.
I recommend this to my friends?
No. I would suggest to spend the extra money and get something more durable, long-lasting and possibly with non-toxic dongs. Out of all the sex toys I received complimentary for my review process this one is one that I am really disappointed in the quality.
I like being able to use this strap-on for photos.
[Disclaimer: I received the TLC Eve's Harness Strap-on Kit complimentary for testing purposes from Topcotoyz.com in exchange for my honest opinion of this product]

Path to nowhere? Who is saying what on road renaming controversy
VK Singh has opened a whole new can of worms by asking the government to rename Akbar Road in Delhi as Maharana Pratap Road. Celebs as well as the common man have reacted with varied views
Minister of State for External Affairs, VK Singh, has opened a whole new can of worms by asking the government to rename Akbar Road as Maharana Pratap Road. Ever since, celebs as well as the common man have reacted with varied views.
Here's what VK Singh said in a letter to Venkaiah Naidu: "I do find that one historical personality that has motivated generations, Maharana Pratap, has not been given his due. You would be aware that he was not only instrumental in stopping the might of Mughal king Akbar but he was truly secular and a man of masses. In view of this, I would request you to honour this great son of India by naming the Akbar Road as Maharana Pratap Road or a suitably important road in the Lutyen Zone in his name. This would provide recognition to his valour and spirit of secularism which makes our country great."
'That is the job of the Municipal Corporation,' says Congress in response: "If they have the penchant of renaming roads, why do they get elected to Parliament?", Congress Party spokesman Manish Tewari asked. Tewari reminded the BJP leaders like Singh that renaming roads "is the job of the Municipal Corporation." "Why they get elected to Parliament, why are they running the Central Government? That is the job of the Municipal Corporation. They should have got elected to the Municipal Corporation."
Shaina supports VK Singh
#AkbarRoad should be renamed to Maharana #Pratap Marg.— ShainaNC (@ShainaNC) May 18, 2016

If roads in Delhi can be changed why not Congress assets/property ke naam? Was in Chandigarh wahan bhi Rajeev Gandhi assets? Socho? Why?— Rishi Kapoor (@chintskap) May 17, 2016
We must name important assets of the country who have contributed to society. Har cheez Gandhi ke naam? I don't agree. Sochna log!— Rishi Kapoor (@chintskap) May 17, 2016

Pelosi can only be speaker if the democRats had control of Congress
Not true. The Speaker is chosen by an absolute majority of votes cast. If enough Republicans protest Boehner and do it the wrong way, by abstaining, Pelosi could receive that majority.
The tantrums about "We need to be rid of Boehner even if it's Pelosi" need to be seriously re-examined. We do need to be rid of Boehner, but replaced with a conservative.

The Most Epic Sibling Rivalries In TV History
Anyone who has ever had a brother or sister knows that there is an innate rivalry between you and your siblings that never goes away. Of course, there is also love, compassion, and friendship there too, but you're always looking to beat them in any way, shape, or fashion. Nowhere has this been better documented than across the broad spectrum of television. Here are six sibling rivalries in television that are as heated as any mob fight.
JR and Bobby Ewing, "Dallas"
The oil business is ripe for rivalry, what with all of the money that is available to those who succeed. It doesn't matter if you share the same blood! Larry Hagman's J.R is the elder Ewing, and runs the family business, but that doesn't stop his younger sibling, Bobby, from competing for the company.
Ray and Robert Barrone, "Everybody Loves Raymond"
Poor Robert, all he wants is the love and admiration of his mother and father. Too bad for him they seem to be too preoccupied with his younger brother, Raymond, thus the name of the show. Maybe it's because of his voice?
Bart and Lisa Simpson, "The Simpsons"
This duo has now been battling each other for over two decades and it's fair to say that it's worked out at about a draw. Whether it was Bart's destruction of Lisa's Thanksgiving centerpiece or Lisa's attempted murder of her elder brother whilst babysitting him, both of them weren't far behind with their latest assault on one another.
Kim, Kourtney, and Khloe Kardashian, "Keeping Up With The Kardashians"
This trio might have destroyed their modeling competition thanks to their hit reality show, but when it comes to fighting each other they're still pretty even. Kim's sex tape did launch their careers, so actually she might just have the upper hand.
Frasier and Niles Crane, "Frasier"
These two therapists think that they know everything! Unfortunately this has proved not to be the case on several occasions, mostly when women, sports, and a certain dog named Eddie are involved.
Michael, Lindsay, Buster, and GOB Bluth, "Arrested Development"
Possibly the most dysfunctional family to ever grace television, Michael looks to control his spoiled siblings but can never stop them. Their return early in 2013 is highly anticipated to the point that it can only really be a disappointment. Which is a shame.

Ascension Director Unsure If God Of War Setting Will Ever Change
Before God of War: Ascension was revealed, there were rumors that the new series installment would feature a different setting and possibly a different main character.
But can this franchise really survive without Kratos and the now-familiar Greek mythology? Gamers have embraced both and Ascension director Todd Papy isn't sure they should ever make any drastic changes. In speaking to Game Informer, Papy reminds us that in order to create something entirely new (fresh setting and characters), you need one thing above all else: time.
Papy first cited Naughty Dog and their work on The Last Of Us, saying the directors of the latest project didn't work on Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception; they probably started the new IP almost immediately after finishing Uncharted 2: Among Thieves. So yeah, you need time. And might the team ever go in a different direction? Answered Papy:
"I don't know. I mean, frankly, ideally after this one, yeah, we get to put it down for a while and I get to take a nice vacation (laughs), so I won't have to think about it. I think that, if anything, that's something that we need to weigh, you know? Can God of War be without Kratos or can God of War be within a different mythology? That would be something that we'd really need to sit down and think about and boil down to the essence of God of War. If we take out one of those pillars, does it make the game better or should we be doing this?"
That's not an easy question to answer. As a developer, I certainly wouldn't want to try...it's exciting and risky, that's for damn sure.

That's kinda what I was looking for from this entry but was disappointed when the just went back the route of a prequel instead. Still looking forward to the game though.
One thing for sure I know now that if they did in fact change the setting and character there would have been a major uproar *points at the the knee jerk reactions of MGR:Revengeance and DmC*

GoW is based on a story of how Kratos became the God of War. That's the story. So anything after that would have to be either a new GoW by dethroning Kratos. If it were done another way then it simply shouldn't be called God of War.

I am looking forward to ascension but what puzzles me is why they didn't go back further for KRatos. Before the white skin and before the battle against the barbarians.
I dunno it seems like they covered his past well with the PSP games so I am interested to see what we learn about him in this one...other than he is pissed.

I just think they are milking the franchise now though. I do like the idea of their multiplayer if they can keep it balanced I'm totally in.
Tuesday, July 24, 2012 @ 7:17:35 PM
My only worry is contradictions. The main reason I fear that is every game has had a different director. Curious as to why Stig isn't directing this one. I have a feeling if he was it wouldn't be a prequel.

If they change the setting, many people would lose interest as mythologies in other cultures are not as "broad" as Greek's. (good example is Roman mythology, they partially taken from the Greeks, creating a similar polytheistic religion)

id love to see kratos die in GOW3, they really need to come out and clarify the ending!
than once that is done move onto another mythology, id love to see them working on something based on the roman empire.
now that would be cool!
but has to be a new IP obviously, it would make no sense bringing different mythologies into the GOW franchise, its been built on greek mythology so it should stay there!
if they want to tell a story after 3 than fine, but what story can you really tell?
if they can find a story to tell relevant to greek mythology and based in GOW history, than fine.
otherwise they really need to move onto a new IP!
Wednesday, August 01, 2012 @ 4:34:36 PM
Not only have fans been asking to see a change, I'm sure the development team would have a lot of fun exploring a new setting, new characters, new weapons, concepts and ideas.
Even if time is a concern, they should at least try, because without creative exploration with the franchise, it will become stagnantly familiar.
There are no comments to display.

Ratings and Reviews
I picked the single point static sling in Vegas at the 5.11 store on my last visit, finally got around to opening the packing this weekend. I wrapped the strap around the buffer tube as pictured and adjust the sling to get my rifle where it felt comfortable, however once I tried to pull the charging handle back it was restricted by the strap. I will be picking up a rigid sling mount to resolve this, just a heads up for anyone looking to purchase... Love the sling though.
This sling worked well for me. The quick release allows for easy removal of the sling, leaving the attachment point on the rifle. Only problem is that the silver of the detachment point will need to be painted to reduce reflection.
I bought this for a HI Point rifle. its the only sling I found that will work with the rifle without modification. =The sling also came with two additional straps so it will fit a multitude of rifles and shotguns. Great product
Great adjustment, can be used with more than one weapon, fast delivery.
Works great. Quick release without making it too easy to release. Accessories allow sling to be used on many types of rifle stocks which may not have sling attachment points. Have used on many types of long guns, both heavy and light, with success. Easy to adjust and I prefer no bungee, so works to my liking.
This is the first one point sling that I have owned, but it seems to be nice for the price that I paid. The nylon on it is super smooth so it is not like the cheap slings that scratch at your neck. I can make quick and smooth transitions from my rifle to pistol and have not had problems with it getting snagged on my chest rig or vests. With the different mounting straps for it you should be able to mount it on just about any rifle or shotgun. Very easy to use and seems to be good quality material. The sling itself is very easy to adjust and stays in place once you adjust it. And honestly for [$] you can't beat the price for a quality sling like this. The only down side to this sling if feel is that it only comes in black but other than that I have only positive things to say about this sling.
It's well build, but I should have shopped in person for this item.

Technorati released their annual Digital Influence Report last week. We look forward to this every year and this year is no exception. The Digital Influence Report is great for forecasting trends in digital and social media, understanding current trends, and using it as a guideline to share with potential clients and colleagues. I've read through the report and have outlined some key takeaways. Overall, I believe Technorati's message was loud and clear: Digital and Social spend is on the rise, Blogs are still very much a trustworthy source of information, and the relationship between brands and influencers is solid – however – there is something to be said about knowing who to reach out to and for what purpose.
Research Your Influencers
One of the biggest points from the report was highlighting the slightly disjointed relationship between brand marketers and influencers. The report says that often, brands look to influencer's ComScore when choosing someone to work with, when in reality, this might not always be the best source for finding an influencer to work with, as the numbers do not always fairly represent the influencer. In order to establish Influencers to help your brand reach audiences that you might not have access to, conducting research beyond ComScore numbers is key. What kind of following do they have? How responsive is their community? Is it always growing? There are other elements to consider when approaching an Influencer. You also have to recognize if they will be a good fit for your brand. Just because your product might be in the same industry as an Influencer's expertise, it might not correlate well. Research your Influencers and take a look at their community and their content before you jump right into numbers.
Measuring Your Success
There still remains the slightly sticky topic of ROI and measurement on a 'successful' campaign when Influencers are engaged for a promotion. Technorati's report outlines that there is a lack of uniform metrics to effectively measure the success of campaigns. Influencers are looking to pageviews and traffic whereas brand marketers are looking at Facebook likes. Before finalizing a campaign, it is within both parties' interests to define what a successful campaign would look like. That is to say – if the objective is brand awareness and reaching new demographics, pageviews and traffic sources might be of value. If you're looking to Facebook likes, you might want to reach out to an Influencer who has a strong Facebook community. None the less, having a conversation prior to campaign launch about objectives will help drive the campaign forward and yield more satisfactory results.
Get Mobile
We all know by now that your brand should be social but what does that mean? It means that you should be connecting with audiences through Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, etc. 90% of brands have a presence on Facebook. That's a staggering number – and you don't want to be left out. YouTube and Facebook are the top two sources used on the Internet. Over the next year – spend on social will rise 59%. What's more interesting is that spend on mobile is expected to increase 79%. With those numbers you definitely want to make sure your site is responsive (you can read more about responsive design here). You don't want to alienate any part of your audience or advertisers by not having a mobile friendly layout for your website. Pay attention to your analytics and see where your traffic is coming from. With mobile digital spend on the rise, you definitely want to be accommodating to the trend. What are your takes on this years report?
We'd love to hear your agreements, disagreements or general comments!

A Summary of research that supports the existence of the CranioSacral System and the use of Cranial Osteopathy/ Sacral therapy
Four researchers, Frymann (1971), Michael and Retzlaff (1975), and Moskalenko (1980,'96,'98) have all shown that the cranial bones do, indeed, move.
Frymann measured skull diameters on living human subjects and showed that the cranial bones exhibit a rhythmic mobility that is different from the breathing rate.
(Frymann, V.M. "A Study of the Rhythmic Motions of the Living Cranium", JAOA, Vol. 70, 1971, 928-945.)
Michael and Retzlaff measured the cranial bone motion of squirrels. Their findings showed cranial bone motion with a rate of 5-7 cycles/minute that did not corresponded to heart rate or changes in venous pressure.
(Michael, D.K., & Retzlaff, E.W., "A Preliminary Study of Cranial Bone Movement in the Squirrel Monkey", JAOA, Vol. 74, 1975, 860-864.)
Moskalenko used computer analysis of various physiological measurements to show cranial bone "fluctuations" of 6-14 cycles/minute.
(Moskalenko, Y., "Bioengineering Support of the Cranial Osteopathic Treatment", Medical and Biological Engineering and Computing, Vol. 34, Supplement 1, Part 2, 1996, 185-186.)
A fifth and sixth researcher, Heifetz and Weiss decided to temporarily increase the pressure inside the heads of two comatose patients. They injected solution into the brain and showing that the cranial bones move and spreading apart in response to the rising internal pressure.
(Heifetz, M.D., & Weiss, M., "Detection of Skull Expansion with Increased Intracranial Pressure", Journal of Neurosurgery, Vol. 55, 1981, 811-812.)
"While I was lecturing to the hospital staff in Haifa Israel, it was brought to my attention that by proving cranial sutures are not calcified, we had "reinvented the wheel." I was shown pages 202 and 203, Volume 1, in Anatomica Humana, 1931, written by Professor Guiseppi Sperino. He stated that cranial sutures only calcify before death under pathological circumstances. Apparently, Italian and British anatomists have a long-standing disagreement over this issue." Comments by DR John E.Upledger, D.O., FAAO.
Further research to confirm cranial bone motion:
Oleski and Smith measured pre- and post-treatment changes in cranial bone position utilizing x-ray technology. The percentage of subjects with identifiable changes are:
66.6% with the mastoid process
91.6 % for the atlas, sphenoid and temporal bones.
Oleski SL, Smith GH, Crow WT. Radiographic evidence of cranial bone mobility. J Craniomandib Pract. 2002;20(1):34-38.
X-ray studies of the relationships between the sphenoid body and the basiocciput were done on 25 patients by Dr. Greenman. He was able to show abnormal relationships between these bones that demonstrated the lesions defined by Sutherland as flexion, extension, torsion, sidebending, vertical strain and lateral strain. No correlation was attempted with clinical symptoms. Therefore, the x-ray findings could represent anatomical variants as well as abnormal findings.
Philip E. Greenman, Roentgen Findings in the CranioSacral Mechanism, D.O. Journal of the American Osteopathic Association, 70:1, September 1970
Dr. Thomas applied strain gauges across the surgically exposed sagittal sutures in living cats. He recorded rhythmic motion across the sutures with the cats at rest that differed from cardiovascular and respiratory activity. Externally applied stimuli did not significantly change the sutural activity. The rates of sutural movement averaged 11 cycles per minute.
Parietal Bone Mobility in the Anesthetized Cat, Thomas Adams, Ph.D., et al., Journal of the American Osteopathic Association, Volume 92, Number 5, May 1992
Dr. Gilmore performed the Upledger-designed 10-Step CranioSacral Therapy Protocol on 20 learning disabled children once weekly for six weeks. She reports that all 20 learning-disabled children improved from below average to either average or good in their reading skills over the six-week period.
Norma J. Gilmore, Ed.D., Right Brain, Left Brain Asymmetry, ACLD Newsbriefs, July-August 1982
Space Research
Assessment of cranial bone motion carried out by the Russian cosmonaut programs used various types of radiographic (x-ray) and ultrasound equipment. Moskalenko and associates carried out several studies which illustrated cranial bone motion:
Moskalenko demonstrated, via NMR tomograms, cranial bone motion between 380 microns to 1 mm, and cranial cavity volume increases by 12-15 mL, with a rhythmicity of 6-14 cycles per minute.
Moskalenko YE, Kravchenko TI, Gaidar BV, et al. Periodic mobility of cranial bones in humans. Human Physiology. 1999;25(1):51-58.
In the mid-1990s NASA carried out research and developed an ultrasound device using pulse-phase locked loop (PPLL) technology with sensitivity to 0.1 µm, to more precisely assess intracranial anatomy and physiology.
Ballard,et al.carried out a study on two fresh cadavers. Saline was manually pumped into the internal spaces of the brain (ventricles) at a rate of one cycle per second, increasing the Intra-Cranial Pressure (ICP) by 15 mm Hg, and expanding the skull 0.929 mm. These findings were interpreted by the authors as similar to those found by Heisey and Adams, Hiefetz and Weiss, and Frymann.

In their summary, the NASA research team stated, "Although the skull is often assumed to be a rigid container with a constant volume, many researchers have demonstrated that the skull moves on the order of a few µm in association with changes in intracranial pressure."
Ueno T, Ballard RE, Cantrell JH, et al. Noninvasive estimation of pulsatile intracranial pressure using ultrasound. NASA Technical Memorandum 112195. 1996.
Studies to demonstrate the success of Cranial treatment.
A Standardized Craniosacral examination was conducted in a mixed sample of 203 grade school children. The probabilities calculated supported the existence of a positive relationship between elevated total Craniosacral motion restriction scores and the classifications of "not normal", "behavioural problems" and "learning disabled", by school authorities, and of motion coordination problems. There was also a positive relationship between an elevated total Craniosacral motion restriction score and a history of an obstetrically complicated delivery. The total quantitative Craniosacral motion restriction score was most positively related to those children presenting with multiple problems.
Upledger, John E., D.O., FAAO., The relationship of Craniosacral examination findings in grade school children with developmental problems. JAOA Vol 77 pp. 738-54, June 1978.
Multiple studies have demonstrated the successful treatment of Otitis Media with cranial osteopathic treatment. These studies showed improvement in health as measured by fewer ear tubes, improved tympanography (a measure of the movement of the ear drum and existence of fluid in the ear), and a significant reduction of the need for antibiotics in children suffering from recurrent ear infections (otitis media). "No adverse reactions were reported" in the study.
The article concluded that: "The results of this study suggest a potential benefit of osteopathic manipulative treatment as adjuvant [in addition to routine pediatric care] therapy in children with recurrent AOM [acute otitis media]; it may prevent or decrease surgical intervention or antibiotic overuse."

Dr. Frymann evaluated 1,250 newborn infants, focusing on Craniosacral system function. She found that both respiratory and circulatory symptoms correlated to abnormal sphenobasilar synchondrosis torsion accompanied by temporal bone dysfunction and immobility. Frymann states that symptoms abated when CranioSacral Therapy was used to correct the sphenobasilar torsion, and mobilize and balance the temporal bones.

Treating Post Traumatic Stress Disorder in combat soldiers
The Upledger Institute has provided two week intensive treatment for Vietnam veterans suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorders diagnosed by the Veteran's Affairs (VA) medical division. These patients received psychological evaluation tests at the times of entry and exit into and out of the program. The intensive treatment was about six-seven hours per day for eight full days, with approximately three-four hours on the first and last days of the program. Patients were initially tested using the Mississippi scale for combat related PTSD, Trauma Symptom Inventory, Quality of Life Questionnaire, Brief Symptom Inventory and Beck Hopelessness Scale as methods for evaluation of trauma. The participants showed the following results obsessive compulsive scores dropped from 86th percentile to 46th, depression from 69th to 27th, anxiety from 79th to 42nd, paranoia from 84th to 62nd. The results obtained strongly suggest that PTSD may be more successfully treated when the therapy includes corrections of the Craniosacral system. and conscious-non-conscious integration.

Dental Applications
Since teeth reside within cranial bones and are involved in cranial motion, it is not surprising that cranial osteopathic treatment has been successfully applied in the treatment of dental conditions.
Magoun provides several case studies and specific techniques for cranial osteopathic treatment treatment of individuals whose cranial strains involve dental considerations.

Lay EM. The osteopathic management of tempormandibular joint dysfunction. In Gelb H. (Ed.) Clinical management of head, neck and TMJ pain and dysfunction; a multidisciplinary approach to diagnosis and treatment. Philadelphia; W.B. Saunders Co, 1985.
Baker demonstrated widening of the dental arch of patients receiving cranial osteopathic treatment. Models of upper teeth over a six month period showed overall widening of 0.7 mm between molar teeth. It is common in the practice of orthodontics to move the upper molars up to 2 mm by dental appliances. However, in cases reported by Baker, the changes were brought about only by cranial osteopathic treatment.
Baker EG. Alteration in width of maxillary arch and its relation to sutural movement of cranial bones. J Am Osteopath Assoc. 1971;70:559-564.
Treatment with cranial osteopathic treatment has been effective in helping normalize function of both the nervous and vascular systems.
Huard demonstrates that the "Venous Sinus Technique" (VST) helps restore optimal intracranial blood flow in the area of the cranial base (base of skull). The VST is a commonly applied procedure used in the treatment of congestive headaches and sinus congestion. Huard applied the VST to 39 subjects, with 39 others receiving light touch only, and another group of 39 subjects received no touch at all. Ultrasound technology was used to measure and record blood flow.

Treatment for Back Pain Sufferers
A study in the New England Journal of Medicine in 1999 compared Osteopathic spinal manipulation with standard care for patients with low back pain. The "osteopathic-treatment group required significantly less medication (analgesics, antiinflammatory agents, and muscle relaxants) and used less physical therapy." The "differences in cost were significant."
This article concludes that: "Given the known and potentially serious adverse effects and costs or nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drug therapy, the achievement of equal outcomes in regard to pain relief, function, and satisfaction, with less use of medication and physical therapy, suggests an important benefit of osteopathic manipulative treatment; this type of treatment deserves careful examination through a formal cost-benefit analysis."
Anderson, Gunnar B.J. et al., "A comparison of Osteopathic Spinal Manipulation with Standard Care for Patients with Low Back Pain," The New England Journal of Medicine, 1999; 341: 1426-1431.
Treatment for Children With Spastic Cerebral Palsy
A study published in the journal of Clinical Pediatrics in 2004 compared parental perceptions of 23 children, diagnosed with cerebral palsy, who were treated by osteopathic manipulation as compared to 19 children who were not (the control group). Over a twenty-four week course of therapy, "twenty-one of the 23 parents of the children in the osteopathic group reported improvement in their child during the course of the therapies."
Osteopathic treated group, specific parental comments:
"Improved 'dramatically' with walking, runs without holding onto furniture-age 32 months."
"Stood for the first time, climbs everywhere-age 34 months."
"Running for the first time; chases boys; very coordinated; kicked ball for first time-age 8 years."
"No surgery on his hips 'The orthopedist was stunned'-age 12 years."
"Able to use skateboard for the first time-age 12 years."
In the control group, however, only 2 of 17 parents reported "general but nonspecific improvement" in any area. "One child reported improvement in speech and in mood and the other reported improvement just in mood." On the other hand, "five children in the control group reported worsening of mood."

ASD TerraSpec® Halo mineral identifier sets new standards in speed, portability, accuracy and ease-of-use for field geologists
BOULDER, Colo. – Dec. 9, 2013 – PANalytical Boulder, (formerly ASD Inc.) developer of high-performance near-infrared (NIR) analytical instrumentation and material analysis solutions, today introduced the ASD TerraSpec Halo mineral identifier, a handheld, full-range NIR spectrometer designed to transform the mineral exploration industry.
At 4.5 pounds (2.0 kilograms), the Halo identifier represents the lightest and fastest all-in-one NIR instrument available for exploration geology. With one pull of the trigger, this ground-breaking instrument delivers mineralogy results in less than 20 seconds, which significantly speeds site exploration efforts and ultimately saves mine operations valuable time and money. The TerraSpec Halo instrument is the latest introduction to the already well-known and trusted TerraSpec line of instrumentation from PANalytical Boulder.
"Until now, NIR mineral analysis instruments required an experienced geologist using heavier equipment, cabling and multiple devices," said Chris Sherry, senior market manager at PANalytical Boulder. "The ASD TerraSpec Halo mineral identifier brings needed efficiency to the field by removing weight and complexity to give real time mineral information."
Ease-of-use features for the TerraSpec Halo instrument include:
The instrument also includes a proprietary mineral prediction software program that pulls data from a constantly expanding, multi-continent mineral library sourced from the world's top public and private databases. Geologists can work with PANalytical technicians to design their own libraries as well, further customizing Halo to meet unique needs. New software allows for improved spectra management with simple spectra naming protocols, easy data organization, validation and tagging, and simple data export tools to port data to third-party software like The Spectral Geologist (TSG®), Leapfrog and others.
"The advent of the first NIR spectrometers changed how geologists take measurements in the field, define their environments, and use that information to make big-picture decisions that drive mining operations and investment," said Michael Lands, VP of sales and marketing, PANalytical Boulder. "The Halo mineral identifier will have a similar impact on how the industry conducts research and builds models to make better, faster and more cost-effective decisions based on mineralogy."
In addition to providing field geologists with real-time information and quicker delineation of alteration halos or clay species delineation, the device can be used in the core shack or on the rig for faster core and drill chip analysis, and in production environments for field confirmation, ore grade control and other purposes.

Synanim enables people to arrive at their most creative shared ideas quickly and efficiently. Via a dynamic, fast-paced, interactive, and affirming process, groups of people collaboratively discern best ideas. Through sharing and listening to others, each group member develops new thinking, while contributing to the final outcome.
Synanim is internet-based social learning system, like a small study group. Peer-to-peer learning is often more effective than teacher-centric approaches, which are often passive in nature. Synanim makes all participants active learners and teachers. Peer learning activities typically result in more supportive relationships, greater psychological well-being and social competence, and higher overall achievement.
Synanim is a fast-paced process. Participants interact to determine their leadership ability based on communication skill, initiative, judgment, and empathy. Users identify leaders through their own actions. Synanim tracks the actions of proposing and selecting ideas and measures the results. Participants improve their empathy and communication skills as a result.
Synanim yields access to feelings and emotions of groups by engaging participants with each other rather than focus group facilitators or others external to the group. It provides a sensitive and interactive method of developing communications, while at the same time developing participant leadership skills and helping a group arrive at a collaborative, shared understanding.

Just another really cheap piece of hardware that might turn out to be able to be repurposed into something really cool =)
Another day, another gadget.
I recently acquired a miniature thermoprinter just for fun because spending 14 EUR (that is 18.47 USD at the time I am writing this) was a no-brainer. I will skip one beer in the beer garden. NOT. It's 37 °C outside…
For those interested, here is the link to the German ebay-offer.
Sorry. Back to the printer. It has originally a parallel port but comes packaged with a usb-parallel adapter cable. The question was: will the Raspberry work with an adapter and subsequently, the printer. Things turned out to be not that simple. Missing modules, the usual permission problems and the German language with its funny Umlauts (ÄÖÜ).

Sloan's Calzones is excited to be working with Decatur Public School's art program and teacher, James Dawson. Sloan's will showcase three Decatur Public School artists on our Facebook page. The community will have the opportunity to vote on the student's art by giving the student work a "like". The student with the most likes after a week will win a pizza party for their entire classroom. The two runner ups will receive a free 12' one topping pizza for pick-up or dine in. This is a fantastic way to showcase some of the wonderful artwork being produced by our own Decatur Public School artists. Please help us promote this opportunity by liking and sharing your favorite, or all, of the student art. Voting stops next Wednesday, October 26, at 8:00 p.m. ... See MoreSee Less
