The Most Expensive Seats in College Football
The start of the college football season is more than a month away, yet the ticket market is already hopping, with seats at more than a dozen games fetching more than $1,000. Bloomberg Businessweek asked ticket search engine SeatGeek to sort out the most expensive seats at the most in-demand games for the upcoming season. Herewith, the NCAA's hottest tickets, ranked by price fetched to filter out the overly bullish sellers (and limited to one seat per game).
University of Alabama at Texas A&M, Sept. 14
Seat: Field level sideline, section 105, row 27
Price: $2,500
Game average: $604.15
Because: Last November, the Aggies visited Alabama for the first time and upset the top-ranked Crimson Tide 29-24 on the strength of two touchdowns and 253 passing yards by freshman quarterback sensation Johnny "Football" Manziel. It was Alabama's only loss; the team went on to trounce Notre Dame for a second straight national championship. The Tide, and their maniacal faithful, come looking for revenge.
LSU at TCU (Cowboys Stadium), Aug. 31
Seat: Club Hall of Fame level, section 133, row 19
Price: $2,490
Game average: $492.27
Because: The tentacles of the Southeastern Conference are spreading farther into Texas. The season opener, named the Cowboy's Classic and played at JerryWorld in Arlington, carries promise for all Texas Christian University diehards, as the team gets a chance to begin its season by knocking off one of the SEC's toughest. (The Fort Worth university will receive a record $3 million for the game.) Louisiana State is looking to come back strong after a troubling 2012, which was defined by a three-game skid and a loss to Clemson in the Chick-fil-A Bowl.
UCLA at USC, Nov. 30
Seat: Lower Premium, section 22, row 4
Price: $1,580
Game average: $250.26
Because: For the first time in eons, the favorite of these two Pac-12 teams appears to be UCLA. Last year, his first with the Bruins, head coach Jim Mora managed nine wins and attracted a stellar recruiting class. Across town, Lane Kiffin's woes continue: The Trojans posted an ugly 7-6 record last year after being ranked No. 1 in the preseason. But a lot of their talent is returning, and some football insiders are calling them a sleeper.
ASU at Notre Dame (Cowboys Stadium), Oct. 5
Seat: Club Hall of Fame, section 134, row 20
Price: $1,545
Game Average: $438.15
Because: It's not really "at" Notre Dame. The game, at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, is part of the "Shamrock Series," Notre Dame's ongoing national charm offensive in which they host regular-season "home" games in different parts of the country. (In previous seasons, they played games in Washington, D.C., San Antonio, and New York.) Arizona State, coming off its first bowl win in seven years, has high hopes for 2013 and believes that its powerful backfield can lead it to a Pac-12 championship.
USC at Notre Dame, Oct. 19
Seat: Lower Level Sideline, section 9, row 29
Price: $1,265
Game average: $564.03
Because: It's one of the highest-profile rivalries in the sport, between two schools that share 22 national championships between them.
And eight more games with four-figure seats:
South Carolina at Georgia, Sept. 7
Seat: Section 106, row 15
Price: $1,250
Game average: $325.75
Oklahoma at Notre Dame, Sept. 28
Seat: Lower level sideline, section 27, row 57
Price: $1,210
Game average: $542.50
LSU at Alabama, Nov. 9
Seat: Lower level, section G, row 54
Price: $1,206
Game average: $481.94
Michigan State at Notre Dame, Sept. 21
Seat: Lower Level Sideline, section 27, row 42
Price: $1,073
Game average: $364.40
Oklahoma at Texas, Oct. 12
Seat: Lower sideline, section 7, row 45
Price: $1,001
Game average: $432.32
Texas A&M at LSU, Nov. 23
Seat: West 103
Price: $1,000
Game average: $439.45
Notre Dame at Michigan, Sept. 7
Seat: Sideline, section 23
Price: $1,000
Game average: $438.32
Florida at LSU, Oct. 12
Seat: West 103
Price: $1,000
Game average: $327.26

Coach got picture via the tube
FOXBOROUGH -- While not particularly fond of television scouting ("You don't really get a lot out of it but sometimes you can pick up a little bit"), Bill Belichick managed to get a lot out of watching Sunday's Cowboys-Bills game. He learned that it's extremely difficult to get much going against Dallas's defense. The phrase "the game wasn't as close as the score would indicate" was especially applicable to Dallas's 10-6 victory.

What Led Me to Write
Panama Fever: Digging Down Gold Mountain and White Gold
I was always drawn to the written word, from my early childhood in Los Angeles, and then from when my parents brought me back to live in their native Jamaica when I was nine years old. However it was music, my first love, that blessed me, as I enjoyed a long and successful career as a violinist playing solo concerts, Broadway, opera, and for jazz, classical and commercial recordings and Hollywood films. Yet for all those years the 'writing bug' never left me. No matter how hungrily I read, there were always other stories vexing my brain and tormenting my heart, desperate to be heard. The telling cry would come after my father died and I returned to Jamaica.
As I sorted through my father's papers I discovered that my grandfather – a man I knew virtually nothing of, and had never met – had been a railroad engineer in Panama during the early years of the 20th century, and that my father had actually spent some time in Panama as a very young child. While this discovery was the catalyst which sent me in search of the valiant characters who left their West Indian families and risked their lives to help build the world's most famous canal, the early seeds of my interest in Panama came from Marcus Garvey's widow, Amy Jacques Garvey, who first told me of the heroic men and women who helped to build and maintain the historic Panama Canal over many decades.
I was a scruffy schoolboy living in Kingston when Mrs. Garvey used to invite me for tea. She had recently finished Garvey and Garveyism, her loving biography of her distinguished husband and her memories of his work and their dramatic life together were like vivid crystal. She was clearly pleased by my eagerness to hear her stories about my famous relative and seemed determined that I grasp both the essence and the complexities of her great man. I remember her stressing that it was the abuse of his Jamaican countrymen working in Panama that convinced Marcus Garvey to start the Black nationalist movement that would finally "destroy the old slave mentality." She was adamant that although it took French brains and American money to conceive the Panama Canal, it was West Indian sweat and blood that built it, something which the world at that time refused to acknowledge. Looking back, I now realize that my two novels of the Panama Canal construction are in some small way my thank you to dear Amy Jacques for those inspiring afternoon teas.
Before I learned about my grandfather's work in Panama I had assumed that the Jamaicans and other West Indians working on the canal had all been common laborers. As I would discover, the symbiotic tie between the isthmus and Jamaica dated from the 1840's when the California Gold Rush spurred North American investors to build the Panama Railroad. Jamaica, being close by and inhabited by underemployed English speakers, became a handy source of cheap labor. By the time the French began their failed canal effort in the 1880s, there was a ready pool of workers to enlist, not only as diggers but also as stenographers, cooks, carpenters, mechanics and engineers.
I originally conceived Panama Fever and White Gold as one book, covering both the French and American periods. But the more I learned about those courageous men and women who left their loved ones to work in Panama and the depth and variety of their experiences, the more I realized that in order to properly tell their stories, I would need to write two books: Panama Fever: Digging Down Gold Mountain, which covers the period when the French tried to dig a sea level canal and failed, and White Gold, covering the period when the Americans took over the construction and lifted the canal over the Continental Divide but also introduced Jim Crow laws to the Canal Zone.
In a break from my two part tale of the Panama Canal construction, my new project, tentatively called Independence Blues, moves to the United States in 1963 during the rising tensions that would precede the long-pursued 1964 Civil Rights Act. Based loosely on my parents' experiences following their arrival in the United States from Jamaica in 1946, becoming U.S. citizens, and my own memories of the drive we took across the country from Los Angeles to Miami as they returned home to Jamaica in time to celebrate their island's independence from British rule in August 1962. The story interweaves their experiences, from their early struggles in New Orleans where my father attended university after giving up his successful pharmacy practice in Kingston, to New York, Canada and finally to Los Angeles where they settled, with the experience of their 9-year-old son during the family's Southern trek across country as he struggles to understand the rising tension between his parents as a once happy marriage dissolves in bitterness over the two week journey.

With the Professional Skills Course (PSC) halfway through its first year, how do firms see it shaping up?
Many firms took the view that their trainees should complete the two examined modules – accounts and investment business – by the end of their first year, in case of failures at the first sitting. Initial experience with the accounts module has not been good.
There have been criticisms of the materials supplied by some commercial providers. Some firms feel strongly that trainees should not arrive in their firms with no understanding of the difference between, and operation of, client and office accounts.
The distance learning approach to accounts, which is a radical departure from the old Law Society Finals style of teaching, has made it harder for lawyers – traditionally numerate – to get the kind of intensive training they require.
At the moment, as we enter exam season, the jury is out. Already though, the Law Society has revised its regulations to enable firms to begin their accounts training in future in the first three months of the training contract. This could make the training less compressed.
There are some who have pressed the Law Society to return accounts to the LPC. This is likely to be reviewed, but could not be introduced before September 1996 because of current validation arrangements with LPC providers.
Investment business seems to have presented fewer problems, probably because it is less mathematical. There is concern in some quarters about teaching trainees how investment business is conducted when it is not the policy of many larger firms to do so.
Many firms are leaving the teaching of the third module, professional conduct, until trainees are in the final months of the training contract. Since this module effectively brings the compulsory Professional Development Course I into the contract from the first year post-qualification, it is not expected to cause any difficulties.
The two most valuable modules are advocacy and personal work management.
Advocacy in my firm consists of one day's introduction to oral communication and presentation skills, three days of civil and criminal litigation
advocacy training and one day of training on settlement negotiation and alternative dispute resolution. These provide a valuable introduction to the key skills for solicitor advocates.
Although relatively few of them will ever need to exercise the skills in practice, there are lessons to be learnt from advocacy training for other aspects of practice, such as case preparation, negotiation and presentation skills.
The other module, personal work management, is in some ways the most useful of all. It encompasses drafting, inter-personal skills, time management, client care, teamwork and use of IT.
In many firms this can be, and has been, successfully integrated into induction and practice area training throughout the training contract. It is an opportunity for trainees and firms to build on the skills training offered during the LPC and, indeed, to create a foundation for future skills and management training.
There are mixed views at this stage about the overall value of the PSC. On the positive side, it represents a step forward, in conjunction with the introduction of skills standards for on-the-job training, and for the training of trainees.
On the negative side, it represents a significant increase, in many firms, in the amount of hours trainees spend out of the office attending courses, which diminishes their exposure to client work and makes them less valuable to their principals. And, of course, all this training comes at a cost. It is likely that most firms are paying £1,000 per trainee for the PSC, a significant investment both for smaller firms anxious to contain the costs of recruiting and employing trainees, and larger firms with substantial numbers of trainees. Only time will tell whether the benefits of the PSC justify the cost.
The PSC has also begun to raise serious questions about how we train our trainees. Should there be more distance learning? Should we provide day release or sandwich courses? Should firms be required to bear the responsibility for training on subjects like accounts and investment business, which are arguably the responsibility of the profession's regulator?
What is clear is that the PSC has heralded a substantial period of change in the training and education provided for entrants to the profession. I doubt it will be the last word.
Richard King is head of education and training at Herbert Smith and chair of the Legal Education and Training Group.

Peter Barrego, a PrimeSource director of specialty products, was told to "rethink the black color" when he was coming up with a synthetic underlayment idea.
"Why?" he asked his engineer.
"Lighter colors are the trend in building envelopes," was the answer. "Consider white. It's cooler."
That conversation marked the beginning of what is known today as Grip-Rite ShingleLayment. The product was further fine-tuned by comments Barrego overheard about neighborhoods in a storm-damaged area—marred by a "sea of blue tarps."
"I thought, 'If people wanted to get away from a sea of blue roofs, why not print shingles on it?'" Barrego told Home Channel News.
As a woven polypropylene, the synthetic underlayment can be exposed to the elements for longer periods than traditional felt paper, helping reduce the blue tarp effect while providing performance benefits.
The Grip-Rite ShingleLayment was introduced in September. Storm-damaged areas are the prime markets for the durable, lightweight roofing product, which comes in a standard installer print as well as a patented shingle-print pattern.

Why dieting's the best way to gain weight
Monday, December 31, 2012
Here's another gem from The Compassionate Mind Approach to Beating Overeating that I didn't have space to post about before.
I already knew that quick/dramatic changes in weight are more likely to be water than fat, but here's what I didn't know:
"What happens when we lose weight rapidly, through dieting or a lot of activity, is that we lose water and glycogen. Glycogen is starch, and we store 1-3 lb of it in our liver and muscles. It is the body's equivalent to rocket fuel, an easily accessible source of energy. Understandably, the body does not like running out of this handy resource, and if it runs low, we are evolved to snatch it back as soon as some carbohydrate is eaten. Glycogen needs to be stored in solution, and we need 1-3 lb of water to store 1 lb of glycogen. So if you use up 1 lb of glycogen you will actually lose 2-4 lb total weight. Conversely, if you put back 1 lb of glycogen, you will gain 2-3 lb total weight.
Suppose, for example, that you go on a strict diet for a week before your holiday ... Perhaps by the end of the week ... you've lost 8 lb ... On holiday you eat normally - not excessively - and do a fair bit of walking and swimming ... You get home and ... are horrified to discover that not only have you put that 8 lb back on, you've put another 2 lb as well! All that has happened in fact is that you lost 2 lb of glycogen in that week of near-starvation, which took another 6 lb of water with it. This sudden depletion of your glycogen stores rang warning bells in your body, so as soon as you started eating some carbohydrates again on holiday it made sure to get back all the glycogen it could, replacing a bit more than the 2 lb you lost so that, with the extra water needed to store it, you gained a little more weight than you'd lost in the first place." (Goss 34-35).
This makes me feel much better about losing weight very slowly. I haven't read enough yet to discover whether there's a way to lose weight without losing glycogen/water, but if there is I imagine mindful eating is it.
Of course, eating mindfully is also better for my mental, emotional, and physical health, regardless of any weight I do or don't lose. I must keep in mind that I'm doing this for more than one reason.
(I hope I haven't offended any dieters. There are many roads to follow and this is the one I've chosen... after taking the diet superhighway more times than I can count and getting stuck in traffic and rerouted back to the beginning every time. But along my scenic route there are flashing signs everywhere, encouraging me to take an exit toward a superhighway. It's important that I keep reminding myself why I chose this road and stick to it. You might have better luck with the superhighway, but I'm more interested in making friends with those taking the scenic route with me.)

I am ALL about the scenic route! I have been on here since August and for the first 3 months didn't appear (aka. according to the scale) to lose anything. Then, one day I stepped on the scale and 8 lbs were gone. I'm at that stasis point again now, which can be frustrating when my goal is still another 10 lbs away, but I know that the teeny tiny changes I am making are sticking and will continue to come with me as I move on. I read so many blogs about losing 100s of lbs in 8 months. I will be lucky if 15 are gone in 8 months. BUT, that said, I fit into clothes today that I haven't been able to wear in years. It's not all about weight all the time.

I have to admit that, so far, I have not lost a great amount of weight. I also have to admit that recently I have not done much exercise either (this started when I had a virus earlier this year). However, I am not beating myself up about either of these aspects because I have not put on the lost weight so far. All it means is that it will take me much longer than I had at first anticipated to lose the weight I wish but I am hopeful that when I do at least get to my goal weight I will not put it back on again as so often has happened in the past, that and more as you have said. This time I am in it for "the long haul" and I know it is going to be a long haul but I have more faith that I will reach my goal healthily this time than at any other time I have tried. We all just need to find what works for us as an individual.

Your news are not news to me BUT...id does not always help...I tend to want to go on that superhighway once in a whild just because I want results fast... and that those results has never lasted does not seem to stick in my memory :-)

That is interesting. Starving our body to lose weight is never a good idea, it seems. For the good of the human species, our body is geared towards survival. Creating a starvation situation just seems to shock our body to try to remedy the crisis.

Being more mindful of my eating is a goal I am working on as well. Thank you for this.

It's that time of day again; when another potential casting rumour for the upcoming Expendables 2 rolls around; and this time it's once again been The Expendables writer/director/producer/star Sylvester Stallone who's been fanning the flames, and thrown the names of Nicolas Cage and John Travolta into the mix.
We've recently heard that both Arnold Schwarzenegger and Bruce Willis (who both had very brief cameos in the original action movie) will be returning with "substantial roles" this time around, and that both Jean-Claude Van Damme (Timecop) and Chuck Norris (Delta Force) will also be appearing; as Sly recently confirmed that there's going to be "a big showdown between me and Van Damme", that "we've got Chuck [Norris], and I think Nic Cage."
So while the "think" part of his statement does leave things a little up in the air (Sly himself has said that, with The Expendables, "what is a fact on Monday is a complete fallacy on Tuesday"), it's an interesting casting choice and one which is likely to get action fans even more excited when they learn Sly also said having an appearance from John Travolta (who famously went face-to-face with Cage in the brilliant action movie Face/Off) is "possible."
Problems arise attempting to get all the stars in one place the same time however, and Sly has said that now most of the problems come down to "scheduling, it's not financial", and as the Simon West (The Mechanic) directed sequel is due to start filming next month in Bulgaria, there's not a whole lot of time to play with scheduling conflicts.
Certain actors might also be put off by the way Sly picks his stars; as he's said his goal with The Expendables is to "use people that had a moment, and then fell on hard times, and give them another shot" (singling out actors such as The Terminator's Michael Biehn), and suggested there might be an opening for some "new blood", due to the fact the Expendables are getting older and "need some help"; but nevertheless Sly himself will be returning, alongside Jason Statham (The Mechanic), Dolph Lundgren (Universal Soldier), Mickey Rourke (Sin City), and Jet Li (Unleashed), in the David Agosto (Big Canyon)/Ken Kaufman (Space Cowboys) written sequel that's due for release on August 17th 2012.

A mint sweater and turquoise shawl completed her outfit. The fabric is Monterey (2014) out of stock. The pattern is vogue #V9007. She hand sewed the hem and added a self facing. Very nice work, Grace!

Queen and twin are the most commonly manufactured and sold sizes for air mattresses. The double size or full size air mattress is an odd size between the twin size and the queen size, making it wide and comfortable for one adult who rolls around or tight but acceptable for two. It's a good option for small spaces like a motor home or 2-person tent when you go camping.
Here are my recommendations for full size air beds. Do remember that there aren't many full size air mattress models in the market, so these are based on the best among this particular size only.
Best Full Size Air Mattress
If you don't need a really high rise air bed, the Intex Comfort Plush Dura-Beam Airbed is the best full size air mattress that gives great value and comfort for a very affordable price. Most Intex air mattresses are cheap, but this is one of the better quality ones with a built in pump.
This 13-inch tall air mattress is really comfortable and doesn't move or bounce a lot when fully inflated. You can easily plug in the cord and inflate or deflate it using the dial knob, but on the downside, an external pump cannot be used for this full size air mattress, so if you're planning to use this for camping at a site without electricity, you may want to check out other good air mattresses for camping.
Inflating and deflating this air mattress take a mere couple of minutes. If you like your mattress soft and plushy, you could release some air with a quick turn to deflate after fully inflating the air mattress. When fully inflated, this air mattress is really firm and hard, but we found that it does lose a bit of air throughout the night.
I recommend getting this full size air mattress for a guest or kids coming over. Check out the price here.
Best Full Size Air Mattress for Camping
For camping you may want to look at the Coleman Quickbed full size air mattress. This is a low profile air mattress that is really portable and light, so with a battery pump you could set up camp anywhere. The pump is not included so you'll need to buy either a Coleman pump or one that is compatible.
The great thing about this air mattress is that it's very affordable, and the material is good enough to last more than a year. At least, that's how long we've used it for. It's comfortable enough to camp on for a week or two, before the longing for a taller bed calls.
Remember to inflate and test the Quickbed out of the box as it is always possible with air mattresses that you may receive one with a defect or leak. We had one replaced immediately when we found that it didn't keep air, and the second one was perfectly fine.
Check out the price here.
Another great full size air mattress for camping is the Mountain Trails Basic air mattress.
This is also a great lightweight air mattress that works with an external electric or battery pump. The soft suede top makes it really nice to sleep on but we always use bed sheets and sometimes a mattress topper for extra comfort.
The valve is designed to keep the air in and the air mattress did hold air well for many days. The air coils provide good support and created a flat surface that is good for our back.
This full size air mattress also comes at a very affordable price.
Best Heavy Duty Full Size Air Mattress
For a more durable material, the SimplySleeper SS-58RF is the full size air mattress to get. We've used air mattresses from SimplySleeper for many years, and they're known to make really tough and hardy air beds compared to other brands. The only other brand I can think of that uses thick material for their air beds is the Fox Airbeds, but they don't make full size air beds.
This air bed is taller than those above. At 18 inches, this is easy to get in and out of. If you're looking for a full size air mattress as an everyday bed, this is probably a better choice than the Intex Comfort Plush recommended above as it'll last longer. It can hold up to 600 pounds of total weight, and comes with a convenient built in pump.
This full size air mattress is much more expensive though. Here's the best price.
If you want to consider more options, check out my best air mattress and air bed reviews.

"Pyro 2: Destiny Revealed"
Chapter 3: Pyro's Onslaught
Pyro started sending the younglings out one by one to hunt with him standing by for back up. Pyro sent each youngling after a different prey after considering their element. Pyro had just sent a young male fire dragon to chase down a rabbit. The young dragon followed Pyro's precious movements exactly making sure he stayed low, and quiet. The young dragon was off and it soon caught the rabbit and slit its throat with his claws and started eating. Pyro moved to a female earth dragon and sent her after a lamb that was that was hiding in the grass. The dragoness blended in perfectly with the grass so the lamb didn't notice her until it was too late. Pyro watched as the younglings showed signs of becoming great dragons and smiled to himself. Finally it was Alisha's turn.
Alisha was hesitant at first but after Pyro assured her that nothing was going to happen she walked forward to hunt. Pyro had picked out a baby goat for her to attack and she was a few feet from it. Pyro watched as the young dragon crept closer to the goat. Alisha looked back at Pyro one more time; Pyro nodded telling her it was time to attack. Alisha jumped from her cover and ran after the goat. The goat tried to lose her through the trees but because of Alisha's small size she was very agile. Once Alisha was finally in striking distance she jumped on the back of the baby goat and forced it to the ground.
Alisha throttled the goat like Pyro did before until it stopped moving completely. Pyro walked up to her and said, "Nice kill. Come on lets show the others." Alisha smiled and dragged her kill to the other younglings and was surprised to see their shocked faces. Pyro started leading the kids out of the forest after they finished eating. Alisha was walking beside Pyro, feeling that it was the safest place.
Pyro kept walking when he suddenly had a bad feeling and started to look around. He then heard a loud roar and looked to the sky; three wyverns were flying above Pyro and his group of younglings and they were ready to strike. Pyro yelled out, "Everyone get to cover and stay low, I'll handle this". Pyro took flight and began to battle the wyvern. He evaded the first wyvern and slashed the second one with his right claws. The third wyvern came in from behind Pyro to try a sneak attack, but to no avail.
Pyro heard the wings flapping behind him and back flipped over the wyvern; in mid flip Pyro brought his tail around and slashed the wyvern with his two tail blades. Pyro then used his fire ball attack on two of the wyverns and sent them hurtling towards the ground while he battled the third one in the air. Pyro was face to face with the third wyvern while the other two were recovering from the fall. The wyvern came at Pyro full speed with its jaws open and ready to bite the red dragon. Pyro remembered that the poison in a wyvern's fangs can temporarily stun anything. Pyro dodged to the left and evaded the bite, once out of the way Pyro grabbed the wyvern's tail in his jaws, spun it, and tossed it towards the ground. Before the wyvern was out of site Pyro lit the beast on fire with his stream attack as it shot towards the ground.
Pyro felt good at first, but he soon noticed the other two wyverns had recovered. He knew he couldn't take on all three of them alone so he tucked his head in, and let out a loud roar into the sky to alert Star. Star was still leading her group through the plains; when she heard Pyro's roar she turned her head and immediately knew he was in trouble. Star gathered up her group and said, "Stay close and follow me!" Pyro was still fighting the wyverns off when he noticed that even more were coming in the distance.
Pyro charged at incoming wyverns and tried to attack. Before he could attack, a wyvern whipped around to his back and grabbed his neck with its tail; two more came in grabbed Pyro's arms with their jaws. Pyro tried to break free but the wyverns wouldn't let go. He then looked up to see another wyvern coming in with its tail held out ready to pierce his heart with its barbed end. Pyro also remembered that the poison in a wyvern's tail would kill anyone, if it wasn't properly treated. Pyro reacted and pulled his right arm with all his might, bringing that wyvern to intercept the one diving at him. Pyro threw his head back hitting the wyvern behind him in the face stunning it, and then forward throwing the wyvern from his neck. Pyro then threw the wyvern on his left arm into the one he threw from his head, and lit them both on fire.
Pyro then used his tail to smash another wyvern into the ground below, while he dealt with the others. Pyro then used his "Gatling Gunner" attack to keep the other wyverns at bay while he recovered. The wyvern recovered quickly but as it was about to fly and confront the dragon it spotted the younglings in the bushes. The wyvern decided, "Why go for a big one when I can go for a little snack?" Two male younglings stood out ready to face the wyvern; the first one was an ice dragon the second was a thunder dragon. The wyvern laughed at the young dragons as he walked closer.
The ice dragon shot a barrage of ice bullets at the wyvern as he walked closer. The wyvern shielded himself behind his wings and continued to walk forward. The thunder dragon took in a deep breath and unleashed a wave of sound that rattled the ears of the wyvern. The wyvern shook off the blow and continued to move closer (since the dragons are still younglings they don't know much about fighting). The younglings backed up and cried out in fear as the wyvern came closer. Pyro heard the screams of the younglings and whipped his head around to see the wyvern heading for them. Pyro growled with anger at the site of the younglings in danger.
When he wasn't paying attention one of the wyvern charged him, but Pyro caught him out of the corner of his eye and grabbed the arm of the wyvern. Pyro threw the first wyvern into the second and dove for the younglings as fast as he could. The wyvern saw Pyro coming and took off in the opposite direction. When Pyro landed he checked the younglings and noticed one was missing as he thought to himself "Alisha!"
"PYYRROOO!" Pyro whipped his head around to see Alisha being carried off by a wyvern. Pyro immediately took off after the beast with his red eyes fixed on his target. Pyro yelled, "Alisha hang on, I'm coming"! Pyro saw two wyverns diving for him to try and intercept him. Pyro dodged the first one and slashed the second one with his left claws. Pyro dashed after the wyvern and was an inch from it. Alisha was only hoping he could get there in time as she was carried by the monstrous creature. Alisha had enough and bit the leg of the wyvern. The beast cried out in pain and started squeezing the life out of the young dragon. Alisha let out a cry and let a single tear fall from her face.
Pyro heard the cry and the tear came back and touched his face. Pyro was filled with rage and his golden aura began to emanate from his body. Pyro suddenly felt like time was standing still but in reality he was going faster than anyone could see. Pyro shot at the wyvern like a golden missile. Pyro rammed the wyvern head on causing it whale out in pain and it dropped Alisha. Pyro dove after her and caught her in his jaws and headed back to his group. Pyro landed next to his group of younglings and put Alisha down gently.
Pyro asked quickly, "Are you O.K.?" Alisha smiled and said, "You saved me." Pyro smiled back and said, "I promised didn't I"? Alisha smiled but soon saw the wyvern coming back, and this time there were eight of them. Pyro tolled Alisha to hide as he turned to face the wyvern. One of them dived for Pyro and was closing in fast ready to end the dragon's life. Pyro braced for impact, but before the wyvern could reach him a shadowy figure emerged out of the trees and rammed the wyvern in the side.
Pyro looked saw that it who it was. Pyro smiled and said, "Star! It took you long enough"! The dragoness turned around and smiled as she said, "Better late than never right"?! Pyro and Star were thinking the same thing it was time for some payback. After Star made sure her younglings were safe she engaged the wyvern.

Don't look back in Imber
Deep in the impact zone, on one of the 25 days a year when live firing is not scheduled, Salisbury Plain seems almost unmarked by its century of military occupation. Apart from caterpillar tracks and the occasional scuppered tank left out for target practice like an upended beetle, it's the emptiest, wildest of landscapes. No telephone wires, no livestock, no tractors, no people; just 94,000 acres of scrub and rabbit holes and trees. The abandoned village of Imber lies, like sediment, in a remote dip on the Plain. It was always isolated ('Little Imber on the downe/Seven miles from any towne'), but now the first sight of its distant church tower, through a shroud of trees, seems doubly unlikely, no matter how keenly you have been looking out for it.
The people of Imber were given only 47 days' notice before being moved in 1943. The Army has had a presence on the Plain since 1897 and in the early twentieth century systematically bought up Imber from its farming inhabitants, who were offered favourable terms to stay on as tenants. When the War Office announced that the village was to become a training ground for the US military, then preparing for the liberation of Europe, the 150 residents packed up without too much fuss, many leaving items in cupboards in the apparent belief that the cottages and land would be handed back at the end of the the war. Since then, the 'Forever Imber' campaign, which peaked in the early Sixties, has dwindled away, impetus to reclaim the village fading along with its population. An annual service is held in the church of St Giles - maintained until recently by the Army on a pro bono basis - but now the costs are too high, and the Church of England and English Heritage are trying to decide on the future stewardship of the grade 1 listed building. As for the rest of the village, squaddies and nettles have made it comprehensively theirs.
Now something else is laying claim to Imber. Having obtained a special dispensation from the Ministry of Defence, Artangel, the sponsor of provocative, often site-specific art, is taking over the village for the August bank holiday.
Artangel's previous projects defy categorisation. There was Rachel Whiteread's House in Bow, a concrete cast of an East End terraced property; Michael Landy's Break Down, in which the artist ceremonially destroyed his 7,227 possessions in the old C&A flagship at Marble Arch; and Jeremy Deller's full-scale recreation of the 1984 clash between miners and police at the Battle of Orgreave.
It's difficult to find out exactly what the Imber event will entail since Artangel - as hot on secrecy as the military itself - is keen to keep the curtains drawn until the weekend. Some things are for sure: ticket holders (900 people are expected over three nights) will walk through the village to St Giles's, where the Rustavi choir, the Matrix ensemble and a single chorister from the Salisbury Cathedral Choir will perform a new work by Georgian composer Giya Kancheli. It seems likely that there will be torches, son et lumière, possibly special effects. But no one will say more than that, though it becomes apparent that the 'promenade' part of the event will be as important as the concert itself.
Designer and artist Jeremy Herbert, who has previously staged shows for Madonna and John Taverner, is being especially mysterious. The only thing he will say that makes sense is that the project will not be mining Imber's history.
'What happened here was very sad, but we're trying to avoid the nostalgia. I've responded very much to the place as it is now and I'm concentrating on how to frame that. The project isn't about the rights and wrongs, it's more about getting together in this very strange place: an ersatz village, entirely fake.'
Michael Morris of Artangel brought the project to Kancheli, who now lives in Antwerp. When critics write about Kancheli's music, they invariably use words like 'loss' and 'dispossession' (the New York Times describes his work being 'shot through with the nostalgic ache of the political exile') so you can see why Morris thought he would be a good fit with the Imber project. But judging from the evidence so far available, Kancheli - who used to visit a monastery outside Tbilisi, which was once commandeered by the Soviet military - seems to have had a rather cheerful time in the lost village, which he first visited in 2001.
'If I were to compare it to a similar place in Georgia that I know very well, the atmosphere in Imber, in the absence of the Army, seemed rather idyllic,' he says. 'I was struck by that very special silence and deceptive sense of calmness which takes on a rather mystical nature in these kind of places. Sometimes I even thought that a fat cow would appear any minute and offer me a glass of milk.' And, true enough, a sampler of the new work sounds like the soundtrack from a humorous silent film: jolly, plinky-plank music, with a folky undercurrent. Herbert says that the excerpts are 'not representative'. Not representative of Kancheli's usual work, or of the rest of the piece? No one will say. But it's certainly not representative of the village I saw.
Entering Imber, it is immediately clear why Artangel has decided not to wrestle with the village's past. There are ghosts here, but they are not the ghosts of those sent into exile (the last rector, William Walser, at 73 too old to find a new parish; the blacksmith, Albie Nash, who died a few weeks after evacuation, supposedly of a broken heart). The ghosts you sense as you walk down what was once the high street, past breezeblock houses with vacuous black windows and the uniformly angled red and green roofs of Monopoly properties, are the more recent ghosts of nervy, knackered soldiers on military exercises, exercises with names like Wessex Warrior and Druid's Dance.
Bang in the middle of the plain, Imber is no longer used for street-fighting training. In the mid-1980s, a 'Bavarian-style' village was built at Copehill Down, a few miles away, and it is here that the army prepared for Bosnia, Afghanistan and Iraq. Imber, once used by British soldiers bound for Belfast, leads a quieter life now. It is mainly used as a place to camp mid-manoeuvre, as British or Nato troops sweep from one side of the plain to the other over a number of days, but there's evidence of recent skirmishes here, too: doorways and grass verges are littered with spent rounds of ammunition and smoke-grenade canisters as well as cigarette butts.
Wandering through the village feels spooky, not sad. It's a dead place, more lifeless than it would be if the houses had just crumbled away into ruins. Instead, they have been stripped and shored up, shell-damaged walls patched with mismatching brick, buckling doorways reinforced with metal props. The village so remote that tramps and gypsies rarely visited, a place of thatch and dewponds, where the annual charabanc expedition to Weston-super-Mare was anticipated for months and discussed for just as long afterwards, has vanished forever. Without Rex Sawyer's diligent history book, Little Imber on the Down, the village and its customs - unexceptional and entirely representative of early twentieth-century rural life - would be barely remembered, buried beneath the untidy habits of contemporary soldiers: Marlboros, rain-wrinkled tabloids, cans of Heinz beans and Dr Pepper, and everywhere, everywhere , pissed-off graffiti in several European languages, or the universal one of rude chalk squiggles.
The only evidence that there was ever a real village here can be found, if you squint, in the last buildings to be erected before the evacuation, a num ber of sturdy council houses built along what the Army now calls Monkey Road, leading from the shell of the Bell pub to the church. Here and there are occasional flashes of domestic detail: the wall recess that might once have held shelves; an amputated stump of plumbing in a probable kitchen; the curved coving of a fireplace. You can tell that the views must once have been lovely, that the residents looked out on to the upward sweep of the valley, or the slow movement of ancient trees - but that is all there is. There is no real sense of a life lived in these rooms, or in what Helen Marriage, associate producer of the project, calls 'the implication of gardens', rectangles now overrun with dock and bindweed.
The church stands a little apart from the rest of the village, behind a 12ft fence and curls of barbed wire, the wooden gate into the churchyard padlocked shut. Though we have been promised access, the man behind the desk at Westdown Camp has refused to hand over the key, which feels very much in keeping with the timbre of the experience. After much to-ing and fro-ing across the plain, the gate and the church door finally swing open.
When the community left, the interior was emptied of pews, font, altar and tombs, but after the bleakness of Monkey Road, it's a relief to come inside, to a place which still means something - anything. On the north wall there is a medieval fresco, unearthed during the 1895 restoration; and beneath the tower, in red paint, seventeenth-century bellringing tabulations are still visible. Though St Giles's is in the process of being put 'at ease' - which will mean it will no longer be suitable for use as a place of worship - it will remain consecrated, which seems only right, since the dead of Imber lie beneath its drifts of nettles.
Helen Marriage has wanted to do something at Imber ever since she heard about it, and has been pestering the MoD for permission to use the site for years. It was the intervention of the Bishop of Salisbury, David Stancliffe, himself an admirer of Kancheli, that finally tipped the scales in her favour. Artangel is famous for never forcing its artists to sign contracts, but the Min istry has held it to five pages of stipulations.
'Logistically, the event presents lots of problems,' says Herbert. 'There's no water, no power, and no reception for mobile phones. Half of the challenge is just making sure there are enough toilets out here. And then there's the unexploded ordnance. It's not a safe place, absolutely not safe. I don't think anyone really knows what it's going to be like on the night.'

Piped music - safe for a while longer
Right: a different sort of piped music (card available from cat-alog.com)
The Piped Music and Showing of Television Programmes Bill, which was introduced as a Private Members' Bill in the House of Lords in May 2006 (see earlier IPKat posting here), has been dropped by the UK Parliament. This means that the playing of piped background music and the showing of television programmes in public areas of hospitals and on public transport is not in immediate danger of being banned. Nor are people going to have to don headphones if they want to listen to music in such areas.

This is a real shame! As a recent inhabitant of a hospital ward cursed by the thoughtfulness and selfishness of other patients playing music or TV at all hours, I can honestly say that I felt like shooting someone after a few days.
Sadly, people no longer seem to be able to consider the needs of others, and in the absence of this firm regulations are needed.

Wait until the last minute to order a Pace Band?
Choose Expedited or Express Shipping at Checkout and receive your Band in 1-3 Days.
The Personal Record (PR) Score utilizes the course profile, elevation, and typical race day weather to create a score that can be compared to other marathons to determine at which race you could expect to run faster. The higher the score, the faster the race.
Since the length of time spent on the course determines, in part, how much the wet bulb temperature affects your pace, the PR score uses the average marathon completion time of 4:30:00 as the standard in calculations. If you want to see how a specific marathon compares to other marathons at paces other than the standard, use the Marathon Time Converter tool to see how your specific time on one course would translate to other marathons.
The Course Score utilizes the course profile changes and the course elevation to create a score that can be compared to other marathons to determine which race course is faster. Typical race day weather is not factored in.
The Marathon Time Converter tool utilizes an algorithm derived from research on how grade, elevation, and wet bulb temperature and ambient temperature affect marathon running performance. The specific course profile, course elevation, and the typical race time wet bulb temperature and ambient temperature data for each marathon is then used to determine how one would expect to perform at one marathon compared to another under these conditions.
PR Scores are determined using the average marathon finish time of 4:30:00. Therefore, when you input your specific finish time, you may find some races with lower PR Scores yield slightly faster estimated equivalent times when compared to races with higher PR Scores. This is due to how much wet bulb temperature and ambient temperature affects runners with slower finish times.
Obviously there are limitations and no calculator is ever perfect for every individual. However, the Marathon Time Converter tool gives you a very good indication of how your time on one course would translate to another course on a typical race day.
If you do not see a marathon listed that you would like to compare (certified races only), please send me a message and I'll list it as soon as I can.
In addition to an extensive analysis of marathon weather and finish times, below is a list of references utilized in determining the Time Converter, PR Score, and Course Score algorithms.
Vihma, Timo. "Effects of weather on the performance of marathon runners." International Journal of Biometeorology 54.3 (2010): 297-306.
Ely, Matthew R., et al. "Impact of weather on marathon-running performance." Medicine and science in sports and exercise 39.3 (2007): 487-493.

The distance is from the radius of a circle around the Address, City, Zip Code, etc. that you input into the Location box. In other words, "as the crow flies." It does not take the driving distance into account.
If you want to include all marathons that meet your criteria, regardless of where it is in the United States and Canada, choose "Include All" for your distance.
A course profile is subjective. One person may think a course is mostly flat while another may think the course is hilly. However, we have attempted, as best as we can, to take some of this subjectivity out of the equation. Our profiles are based on the course profiles, course elevations, runner opinions, and race organizer descriptions.
If you feel that one of our course profiles is incorrect please let us know on our Contact Us page. In addition, please add your opinion about the course and race within each marathon's Rate & Review section.
"Road" marathon courses are run on pavement, asphalt, or any other hard surface. Trails include both technical single track courses and groomed trails (or combinations of both). The "Mostly Road" courses include up to 15% (~4 miles) of trails or soft surfaces. The "Mostly Trail" courses include up to 15% (~4 miles) of roads or hard surfaces.
Yes...well, maybe. The majority of marathons certified by the USATF or Athletics Canada are Boston Qualifiers. Exceptions are the indoor marathons. Even though many are certified, currently, they cannot be used as qualification races for marathons. However, check with the B.A.A. if you have any doubt about whether or not your marathon is a Boston Qualifier.
We are working on including other locations. More information to come soon.
Send us message and let us know what countries or areas you would like to see.
We want to know! We try our best, but we do miss things. Please complete the form on the Contact Us page and let us know.
You can input any location you want. FindMyMarathon.com uses Google Maps, so you can input various locations such as street addresses, cities, states, landmarks, etc. We recommend using a specific address to ensure the best search result.
We want to provide the exact location that the marathon takes place, not just the city, to ensure a more accurate distance. The finish line is used since some marathons are point-to-point and finish far away from the start. Also, the finish area is typically where pre and post-race activities take place.
We use an average of the number of finishers for the last two years the marathon was held. We feel this gives a more accurate representation of the current size of the race since races change from year to year.
The majority of the course descriptions are from the race web sites. We try to provide you with a brief description of the terrain, running surface, and other things you may expect on the course, rather than turn-by-turn directions for the course.
If you do not see a course description listed and would like to add one, please help us out. Let us know what you think on our update page or add your own course description and your tips for running the marathon on that race's Rate & Review section.
1) Search for marathons in one particular State or Province.
2) Click the Compare link and the associated race will display in the Compare Races section above the Results.
3) Then search another State and click Compare to select the second. Both of your selected races are listed and the Compare Races link becomes active.
4)Click the Compare Races link to view the details of both races.
You can also compare races using multiple searches on the By Location or By Keyword search tools as well.

Re: The Official Batman (1989) Thread - Part 3
you want plotholes? i'll give you plotholes!
- where does all of Batman's stuff come from: Batmobile,Batwing,Batsuit,etc. it's all just there. who made them? Alfred?! it'd be hard to kinda get someone to make a frigging BAT-SHAPED JET FIGHTER for you and still keep your identity quiet,you know? i mean, was Pakistan manufacturing those in the 80's or something?
- the Joker FRIGGING ANNOUNCES where he will be and when on live TV, and no cops bother to show up? not even Gordon??!!
- why isn't the Joker street pizza after a fall from that height?
- the whole armor on the Batmobile thing is completely ridiculous. i mean,in respect of where it comes from. don't even get me started on the magically appearing from thin air round bombs on the hubcaps.
- how do the Joker and his men survive entering the museum? you can clearly still see the poison gas still in there when they open the doors. it couldn't have disappeared THAT quickly!
now, i still love the movie. just saying this is the reason you shouldn't worry about such things and just try and enjoy the movie for what it is. cause if you overanalyze it,you'll find a lot wrong with almost every movie.

I'll believe it when I see it, but supposedly, allegedly, former pro wrestling superstar CM Punk will be making his Octagon debut at UFC 203 in September.
If you'll recall, Punk was signed to the UFC about 20 years ago, but because he knew nothing about MMA and had no real competitive sports background to build upon, he's been training ever since in things like armbars, kicks, punches and all that other stuff that's essential for survival in the cage. And apparently now he's ready! To take on a kid named Mickey Gall! Who will probably kill him!
As per the UFC:
Former WWE superstar CM Punk was one of the most notable UFC signings in recent years. On September 10, 2016, he will make his long-awaited UFC debut when he faces Mickey Gall in a welterweight bout at UFC 203 in Cleveland, Ohio.
In the main event of UFC 203, which takes place at Quicken Loans Arena, hometown hero Stipe Miocic defends his UFC heavyweight title for the first time against Alistair Overeem. In the co-main event, Fabricio Werdum faces Ben Rothwell.
One of the most popular and accomplished pro wrestlers to ever compete in the WWE, Chicago's CM Punk looked for a new challenge in 2014 and found it in mixed martial arts. Signing with the UFC in December of that year, Punk began his MMA education with Duke Roufus and the renowned Roufusport team in Milwaukee, and this September he will put himself to the test against New Jersey's Mickey Gall, a talented 2-0 prospect who earned his shot against Punk with a 45-second submission win over Mike Jackson in February.

Two MIT doctorates have worked out that the best way to solve Facebook addiction is shock treatment.
Robert Morris and Daniel McDuff have developed a device they call Pavlov Poke, named after Nobel Prize-winning Russian physiologist Ivan Pavlov.
In his study of dogs, Pavlov found that a stimulus ringing a bell could be linked to a previously unrelated response, creating what's known as a conditioned reflex.
While Pavlov's cat experiments did not work, as the cat kept walking off, Morris and McDuff wanted to use Pavlov's technique to deter the use of Facebook.
The pair created an Arduino-based keyboard hand rest that shocks computer users who spend too much time checking the social network.
The device could be altered to punish over-reliance on Google or any other website. It could also be used to prevent kids from logging into sites they shouldn't.
In the UK David Cameron could use it to stop people finding out anything at all.
Morris said that the technique was too good. The shocks were so aversive, the researchers removed the device quickly after installing it.
He said that as a result he's no longer "dragged to Facebook by some mysterious Ouija-esque compulsion".
The system does not have to zap you. It could be configured to respond to excessive social networking with howler telephone calls thanks to Amazon.com's on-demand labour service Mechanical Turk.

AN INDEPENDENT Scotland would not inherit the UK's existing international treaties but would inherit a share of the UK national debt, according a keynote paper launched by Scottish Secretary Michael Moore yesterday.
Mr Moore set out the government's understanding of new legal analysis on the implications of Scottish independence by two eminent international lawyers.
James Crawford, Whewell Professor of International Law at the University of Cambridge, and Alan Boyle, Professor of Public International Law at the University of Edinburgh, believe the most likely outcome of Scottish independence would be the continuation of the UK as the existing state under international law and the creation of a new state of Scotland.
However, they have not ruled out the creation of two completely new states or the resurrection of the Scottish state that existed prior to 1707, although both outcomes are deemed unlikely.
The Scottish Government's claim that Scotland would remain a member of existing international organisations such as the United Nations, the International Monetary Fund and, crucially, the European Union "can be dismissed as, at best, inconclusive", according to the expert analysis.

When I saw this recipe pop up on Pinterest, I instantly began drooling. I knew I needed it on my dinner table, and pronto. It was fabulous…bite after delicious bite of yummy fall goodness. I savored the leftovers for days.
you will need:
1 medium sweet potato, peeled and chopped
½ teaspoon nutmeg
½ teaspoon smoked paprika
salt & pepper
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 shallots, diced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1½ cups arborio rice
1 cup dry white wine
3 cups vegetable or chicken stock
½ cup freshly grated parmesan cheese, plus extra for serving
handful crumbled bacon or pancetta
chopped fresh parsley
Preheat oven to 400°. On a baking sheet, toss chopped sweet potatoes with 2 tablespoons olive oil, salt, pepper, nutmeg and smoked paprika, tossing well to coat. Roast for 25-30 minutes, tossing a few times. Run through food processor until smooth, then set aside.
Heat a small saucepan over medium-low heat and the stock. Heat until hot and then turn down to low. If you prefer, you could just microwave your stock in a large bowl. You just always want to add warm stock when making risotto.
Heat a large saucepan over medium heat. Add in remaining olive oil and butter, then add shallots with a pinch of salt. Stir to coat and cook for a few minutes until soft. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Add rice, stirring to coat and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring a few times until the rice is translucent and begins to toast. Drizzle in wine and continue to stir as the pan sizzles and the rice absorbs the wine. When most of the wine is absorbed, reduce the heat to medium-low and add in about ½ cup of the warm stock. Repeat the process, continuously stirring until each addition of the stock is absorbed. Continue until all of the stock is used and absorbed and the rice is cooked, about 25 minutes. Taste a spoonful to test. If the rice is still too chewy and dense, add more warm stock.
Once the rice is cooked to your liking, reduce heat to low and stir in the sweet potato puree and mix until well-absorbed. Stir in parmesan cheese. Taste and adjust seasonings. Serve with some additional cheese, a sprinkling of herbs and the crumbled bacon.
serves: 4 large helpings
time: about 1 hour

The Penguins made a few moves today when they picked up Marcel Goc from Florida for a third and a fifth round draft pick and then picked up Lee Stempniak from the Flames for a third round pick. Both are unrestricted free agents at the end of the season with Goc making $2.5M and Stempniak making $2.5M.
The Pensblog had a quick breakdown of Stempniak from Flames blog Flames Nation about him. Overall it seems like he is a role player that can make a few things happen. It will be interesting to see where the Penguins put him. I have seem some saying that he could play on the win with Sidney Crosby while he could also make the bottom six better than they are now. To be honest I don't know a whole ton about Stempniak but I think he could be a nice depth option for them.
Goc will also help the bottom six and has 23 points (11+12) this season. Goc is a center and is one of those do-it-all type of guys. He is one goal away from tying a career high but in Florida he was getting tough minutes against tough competition and was fairing pretty well against them. His Corsi-On was third among forwards for the Panthers and he won nearly 53% of his face-offs. That isn't bad to have. He is a physical guy which will get fans excited and he is better than what the Penguins currently have.
The big news today was that the Penguins did not get Vancouver's Ryan Kesler. A lot was made in the days leading up to the deadline that Kesler might land in Pittsburgh. He had a no trade clause and already rejected trades to numerous teams. The Penguins were a team he was interested in coming to and while the price was a little high the perception was that Ray Shero was going to pay it.
It seemed like the Penguins were going to package Brandon Sutter, Derrick Pouliot, and some draft picks to get Kesler but in the end it didn't happen. The rumor out there was that the Vancouver ownership nixed the possible trade but that is all speculation based on some things I read as the trade deadline was wrapping up. Who knows what happened but I think getting Kesler would have been a nice move.
All-in-all I think it was a pretty good day for the Penguins. They got better and all they gave up were draft picks. The Penguins are still an injury riddled team that needs to get healthy fast but I think Shero had a tough time with his options not knowing what is going to happen with Paul Martin and Kris Letang going forward. The Penguins got a couple of guys that can help them and make them better immediately. Time will tell if these are good trades but I feel pretty good about them now.

Lenny Kravitz is not happy about being dragged into the drama between Alex Rodriguez and his newly estraged wife, Cynthia Rodriguez. Despite reports that Cynthia, 34, and Kravitz were paramours, Kravitz tells Perezhilton.com:
"There is absolutely no affair between Cynthia Rodriguez and myself. This is unequivocally 100% not true. Cynthia is a friend and is here with the godfather of her baby, who is also Alex's trainer, his wife and their baby girl. She came here to escape from everything happening in New York City. I opened my home to her as a friend and I find it extremely hurtful that I am now being referred to as an adulterer."
It's getting hard to tell what's true and what's when it comes to this saga. But like the saying goes, where there's smoke, there's fire. And something is definitely burning. Stay tuned!

Midway: Next MK Will Be M-Rated
Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe was a solid and entertaining fighter; a surprisingly good blend of old-school brutal combat and classic comic book heroes.
However, the MK aficionados didn't particularly like the fact that all the trademark blood and gore was removed to make room for a more accessible "T"-Teen rating. Well, have no fear, because it seems the franchise will return to its roots with the next installment. As reported by IndustryGamers, series co-creator Ed Boon spoke a bit about the future of MK on his Twitter page. First, he dashed some hopes by saying there probably won't be any DLC for Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe ("I wouldn't hold my breath"), and second, he reveals that the team is indeed working on the next entry in the long-running franchise. It has a tentative title of Mortal Kombat 9 and it will be devoid of comic book superheroes. Very simply (it has to be simple if it fits into the Twitter 140-character limit), Boon said:
"People want an M-rated MK....dammit we will give them an M-rated MK."
Midway has had their fair share of financial struggles, but it's nice to know that MK lives on. We don't have any further details on the new project, but it's enough to know that it will return to the good ol' bloody foundation the franchise was built upon. If we're being honest, isn't this what really attracted everyone in the first place...?

take us back to the good old days of MK 1-3, minus all the crazy amounts of bones flying everywhere in a fatality. hehe :D

probably even more blood and gore than in previous games
plus it will be in GLORIOUS HIGH DEFINITION!!!!!!!
hopefully they will build upon the story that they have been going with from MK: deadly alliance and deception, with a few tings from armageddon
but keep kombat like MK vs DC

Make the game bloody, fierce and a whole lot of sh** that I can't do, but feel like doing at the end of Street Fighter 4 matches (I really get competitive in that game). IF the game turns out to be like the classics, I'll go to the store and say "GET OVER HERE" and buy it.

I agree that most of the newer characters need to be cut. Maybe keep frost, she was funky even if she was a wannabe. What MK needs to do most tho is fix their horrendously clunkly controls and flesh out the moves/combo list, unless they did this in vDC but I highly doubt it. I mean most of the guys in armaggeddon had about 5 combos, some even less.
