You can argue about processors and hard drives until you're blue in the face, but what really matters in a media centre is purely superficial. It's got to look fantastic if you're putting it near your TV, and it's got to make the least noise possible. Foxconn has both bases covered with this diminutive aluminium model, which ambitiously offers quiet (though not fanless) heat pipe processor cooling and a goodlooking perforated case.
It comes well equipped, with everything bar your CPU, memory and hard drive included in the dinky case. This includes a preinstalled notebook-sized DVD/CD-RW drive and a memory card reader that's quickly becoming a ubiquitous PC accessory.
Some of the hardware positioning is a bit difficult to manage, as you'll find when you come to try and force the CPU cooling elements into their tiny allocated space, or when you have to unscrew the bottom of the case to install your SATA hard drive. The 200W PSU also resides outside the case, both for space and heat reasons.
The Tuckaway is not really a multipurpose case, because its lack of height means there's room for only one card via a custom riser, and even that's only a bog-standard PCI. This is perfect for a TV card, but this means you can forget about upgrading to a modern 3D card, and while the onboard Intel 915 is fine for video playback and general desktop use, it's easily taxed by gaming. With the amount of heat this box generates, you probably wouldn't want to add the extra warmth of a video card, anyway.
Up against the Shuttle XPS (pretty much the leader in the mini-PC field) the Tuckaway doesn't fare too badly. Admittedly, the Tuckaway goes in lacking a number of the more frivolous features of the Shuttle, like its LCD screens and such. It even misses some otherwise crucial things such as an AGP slot, but it comes out fighting thanks to its flatter form factor, which has slightly more living room potential than its more boxy competitors.
As long as you're happy with a PC that you're really going to struggle to upgrade, you can be confident in your purchase. At the price this is an impressive combination of kit, and it looks the business, too.

| 13.7°C Belfast
The UK Energy Secretary has clashed with Scotland's First Minister about the impact independence could have on the crucial energy sector.
Ed Davey claimed a Yes vote in September's referendum would lead to the country investing less in renewables, while the loss of UK subsidies would mean bills for consumers would "rocket".
The Liberal Democrat was speaking ahead of the publication of a new paper on independence from the UK Government, looking at its impact on the energy sector.
But Alex Salmond believes Scotland can become a global "intellectual powerhouse of green energy" with the development of new technology which could help provide power across the world.
The Scottish First Minister will speak out on the issue today when he addresses the Bloomberg Future of Energy Summit during his visit to New York.
He will stress Scotland would have " very different priorities" to the UK Government, adding that an independent administration in Edinburgh would adopt a "long term approach to supporting the energy industry".
The UK Government believes the UK's economic stability and its single regulator for the industry makes it attractive for investors, saying businesses have announced £14 billion of investment in renewables in Scotland, which has the potential to create some 12,000 jobs.
It also argues Scotland gets a disproportionately high share of support for green energy, receiving 28% of subsidies for renewables while the country accounts for 10% of electricity sales.
As a result, Westminster believes the Scottish Government target of generating 100% of electricity demand from renewables by 2020 is more likely to be met if Scotland stays in the UK.
Mr Davey insisted: " Going green will become far more expensive if Scotland goes it alone. The Scottish consumer would see their energy bills rocket if they have to pay for Scottish renewables alone, without contribution from the rest of the UK.
"Right across the energy mix, Scotland benefits from being part of the UK's strong, stable consumer and tax base - supporting thousands of jobs, creating new supply chains and cementing the energy sector as the engine room of the economy.
"The likely result would be an independent Scotland investing less in renewables - which would be bad for jobs, bad for clean energy industries and bad for the world's climate."
But Mr Salmond will use his speech in New York to argue that Scotland is " blessed with many strengths in energy innovation", hailing Aberdeen as "Europe's oil and gas capital" and saying Glasgow has "become pre-eminent in the development of offshore wind technology, for which it is now the leading research centre in Europe".
The First Minister will state: " The energy resources of Scotland are vast and varied - of oil, gas, hydro, offshore wind, wave and tidal power. Per head of population, we are the most energy-rich nation in the European Union.
"The question of how we build on those strengths is an important part of Scotland's constitutional debate. Independence would give responsibility for Scotland's natural resources to the people who are most likely to harness them wisely - the people who live and work in Scotland.
"It would allow us to adopt policies which meet our priorities and specialisms. That would benefit Scotland, and it would also benefit our energy industry."
The UK Government will spend more on supporting nuclear power than it does on green energy sources, Mr Salmond will claim.
"I n October the UK Government signed a contract for the construction of one nuclear power station, with two reactors, in England," he will say.
"The contract involves subsidy payments of up to £1 billion per year for the next 35 years. That's £35 billion to support a mature technology in one power station - by way of comparison, those subsidies are four times the total support, under the renewable obligation, for all of the UK's renewable power in the decade to 2012.
"An independent Scottish Government would choose very different priorities. We would co-operate very closely with the rest of the UK - the European energy market is becoming increasingly integrated. But we would take a long term approach to supporting the energy industry."
While he will say the energy industry across the world is facing " major challenges", the First Minister will add: " For Scotland, these European and global challenges represent opportunity. We have just over 8% of the UK's population; and 1% of the EU's population. But we have 90% of the UK's hydro capacity, 64% of the EU's oil reserves, 25% of the EU's offshore wind and tidal power potential, and 10% of its wave power potential. And we are 100% committed.
"Our energy resources can power much of Europe, our energy innovation can power the world. It's a time for Scotland - working with nations and companies from across the planet - to become the intellectual powerhouse of green energy."
Tom Greatrex, MP for Rutherglen and Hamilton West and Labour's shadow energy minister, said: " The success of the renewable energy sector, employing more than 10,000 people, is underpinned by being a part of the UK single energy market.
"It is beyond dispute that we in Scotland receive around a third of the UK's financial support for renewables, paid for on consumers bills, with less than a tenth of the population.
"This pooling and sharing of support across the whole of the UK benefits consumers and the renewables sector in Scotland, by promoting low carbon generation in the simplest, most straightforward and cost-effective way. It is a positive and practical example of the mutual benefit of being part of the UK energy market that is at risk were we to decide to leave the UK.
"That would inevitably change the energy relationship to a commercially based one, and puts a fruitful co-operative approach in jeopardy. The SNP cannot credibly answer why, having left the UK, consumers in a foreign country would continue to pay to subsidise our renewable energy on their bills - making it more expensive for Scottish consumers, and damaging for Scottish renewables, as a result."

World of Logs and Evaluating a Paladin Healer: Some Basics
This post will be long, very long, but shorter than it should be. I could do a whole series on using WoL to evaluate a holy pally, but I won't. See, I'd do one good post and neglect the rest. So I'm going to talk a bit about the first thing I check when we get a new holy pally running with us: buffs cast.
I'm keeping the images small to keep them from stretching my page too much, but feel free to click on them to see them better.
Finding Buffs Cast
To reach the Buffs Cast screen, select a player from the menu on the top screen: Player -> Paladin -> Playername
Then you'll want to choose a particular fight to audit. Here we'll pick the longest Sindragosa attempt.
Once you're in a players' screen and have chosen a fight, click on the Buffs Cast tab.
It's as simple as that!
What to look for
In the Buffs Cast menu, the first column on the left lists the buffs cast by the player during the fight. All of them are of some sort of interest, but we're going to focus on three for now:
Beacon of Light
Sacred Shield
Judgements of the Pure
These are the three basic "buffs" that any pally should have up nearly 100% of a fight, if not the whole fight. To look at them graphically, hit the pound (#) sign next to the buff name. You'll notice Sacred Shield (SS) is mentionned twice. It's because the proc that happens when SS is up is also called Sacred Shield. Pick the one with the highest uptime and least amount of applications.
Once you do that, you should see a graph with green bands under it. The graph represents the entire time of the fight and each band represents the uptime of an individual spell.
What to Make of It
Let's have a look at this paladins buff uptime.
Judgements of the Pure was up for nearly the whole fight, which is good. In healing intensive or in cast restrictive fights, the buff from Judgements of the Pure might fall off. It's nothing to stress about if it's quickly reapplied, such as in this case. If, however, a paladin goes for big chucks of the fight without Judgements of the Pure, ask some questions.
Next, let's look at Sacred Shield. You can see it was up three times, with large chunks of fight in between. This isn't good. If there are several holy paladins in the fight, this could mean a lack of communication causing the paladins to overwrite each other's Sacred Shield. To know who was targeted by a buff, mouse over the corresponding green band. You can check on all the holy paladins in the raid to see they're shielding the same target. You can also check if your paladins are selecting reasonable recipients. The main tank is typically the first choice for an SS, but anyone taking periodic damage can benefit from the spell.
A paladin's usage of SS will say a lot about their playstyle. After reading a lot of logs, you'll quickly notice that neglecting the buff is a pretty common fault. A paladin that keeps a Shield up along with their healing is often a sign of someone who goes the extra mile and makes sure they're wringing every bit of healing out of their character.
Finally, Beacon of Light. I picked this particular log because I know this player struggles with Beacon of Light usage. This Sindragosa attempt is no different. Beacon of Light was used twice and kept up for less than half of the fight. This isn't acceptable. If there's a spell that should be up at all times, no exceptions, it's Beacon of Light. Most of the time, it'll be on a tank (again, to check who's being Beaconned, mouse over the corresponding green band). In some healing intensive fights, the paladin will need to direct heal a single tank, but Beacon should still be used.
But This is Heroic Sindypoos!
I've yet to try Heroic Sindragosa because I can't raid these days, but from reading parses from successful guilds, I've noticed that it's not polite to rack of stacks of Instability. One could play devil's advocate and suggest that maybe this paladin was crippled with Unchained Magic throughout the attempt.
Lets take a look at that. Select the "Buffs Gained" tab. Under the middle column (debuffs), hit the pound sign next to "Unchained Magic".
The buffs you've already selected will stay on the graph, and you'll add Unchained Magic uptime.
We can see this paladin had Unchained Magic up three times. We can forgive not refreshing JotP/SS/BoL anytime the debuff is up, but any other downtime is fair game for questioning.
Observing debuffs uptimes can come in handy for other fights too. The post-getting-smashed-by-malleable goo debuff on Putricide comes to mind. You can sometimes use this trick to spy on Dreamwalker stacks as well. I've frequently caught my guildies lying after the fight… They don't know that I know. (It's not always listed as a debuff though. No idea why sometimes it is and sometimes it isn't.)
Other Points of Interest
Using the buff list, you can also see whether the paladin was using an appropriate aura (on this parse, notice that Concentration Aura was used, typically you'll want an aura that fits bests with Aura Mastery, so on Sindragosa, Frost Resistance Aura would be preferable), whether and when they used any cooldowns (check especially for Aura Mastery and Divine Sacrifice, neither were used here) and, in the case of a holy light paladin, how often Light's Grace was active.
You can also monitor Divine Plea usage. (For you non paladins, Divine Plea regens mana at the cost of a 50% healing reduction.) When was Divine Plea used? Was it offset by another spell? Compare the timing of Divine Plea with healing bonus or mana cost reduction cooldowns such as Divine Illumination, Hospitality and Avenging Wrath.
Remember That Parses Only Tell Part of the Story
I'll admit I'm guilty of completely ripping players apart by their logs. Then I proceed to get ripped apart for my logs. The thing is, always question before blaming. There's more going on to a fight than what you can read on paper (or on computer screen). From logs, you can find pointers, repeated mistakes and so on. But they'll only tell you so much.
I also need to add the disclaimer that this post only goes over a tiny part of what you can get out of World of Logs. For evaluating a paladin, though, I seem to run to the buff pages before I view the heal meters, the damage taken meters and the brute, untouched combat log. I guess one could say the buff page serves as a starting point, as the "once upon a time" part of the story.Explore posts in the same categories: World of Logs

Tell me who it is already so I can go cut them and look for another Holy Pally.
August 15, 2010 at 9:20 am
Yay, very interesting post. Thanks à lot !
August 15, 2010 at 1:53 pm
I love finding ways we can analyze healers without turning to just how much they brute-healed for, which misses a lot of what healers should be doing.
I've noticed that when others make mistakes, paladin (and often druid) healing can skyrocket as we bomb the folks who should have died. The thing that makes me crazy, though, is that the log gets interpreted as the other healers not doing enough, when really we should be questioning why such a crazy damage spike even occurred.
We have a new holy pally in my guild, and I promised my GM that I'd evaluate him. This is exactly the type of information I'm going to show, thank you!
August 15, 2010 at 2:26 pm
This is really neat! I've always wanted to know how to "read" World of Logs parses in order to get some real info out of them. (Rather than just going, "Ooooo pretty colors!")
I know Vixsin (Life in Group 5) did an intro to WoL post, but I'm still overwhelmed with what exactly I can use to study my guild's parses (typically just for my own improvement). But seeing what you've gotten out of it makes me want to go back and explore a bit more. Thanks!
August 15, 2010 at 7:26 pm
Good summary for the buff tab! Nice work Ophie.

Great Post.
I for one would really appreciate Parts II and III and so on so that I can improve my own performance before someone who knows enough bawls me out over my fails 😀
August 16, 2010 at 1:59 pm
Great post, can't wait for more.
August 16, 2010 at 3:22 pm
That's a great way to evaluate a holy pally aside from just plain HPS. So many raid leaders seem to judge especially paladins on amount healed alone. Buffs are also a great way of seeing what they're doing with their GCDs.
I hate seeing that my HPS is a hair lower than another healers and realizing that I'm going to be judged for it, without other things being taken into account. Another one I always point to is dispels. In our ICC group, my usual co-healer is a druid, which leaves me responsible for the bulk of the dispels, since many things in ICC do diseases (Rotface) and magic debuffs (Plague Scientists). Does my HPS suffer a little bit? Sure. Am I more effectively filling my role than if I never dispelled? Absolutely! Do most raid leaders consider that? Nope. 😦
August 17, 2010 at 3:56 pm
I have only started to skim this post because I am short on time, but please keep the WOL information coming. I am a WOL junkie. I think I spend more time pouring through logs than I spend actually raiding. I'm a holy priest, so I don't know as much about analyzing other classes, so this is great information for me.
August 17, 2010 at 11:48 pm
[…] Ophelie tells you how to analyze the healadin! […]
August 18, 2010 at 6:35 pm
I love this post, I love WoL and have been eager for more Pally-specific info on proper/deeper analysis of it. Looking forward to more, if you do more 😉
August 19, 2010 at 9:10 am
One of the best things to ever happen to me was to get in a pug Magtheridon's Lair run with one of the top guilds on my server a couple years back. I could shrug off (to some extent) the differences in healing done on recount by the fact that their Holy Pally was in T6 where I was in T4. They posted the logs to WWS (which, as far as I know, still doesn't work) — the separation between he and I went far beyond simple gear differences or assignments, and extended to use of cooldowns like Divine Favor/Illumination and on-use trinkets. I learned so much from that and am a much, much better player for it.
Unfortunately, it's too easy for some people to stop at the 'damage done' or 'healing done' page and not look deeper. Nice post!

Comment of the Day: Milking the Puns
Today we learned all about the shortage of butter in Norway. Very much in keeping with today's pun-filled posts on Gawker, one commenter finds a whey to accurately express their reaction to the lack of dairy in Norway.
I'm a Scandinavian-American, so I feel the need to clarify:
This story makes my stomach churn. I mean, will this shortage spread out to other countries? It's a question with no pat answer!
Maybe dairy puns are a bit cheesy for you, but we're milking it for all it's worth. Merry (almost) Christmas and may Cheeses be in your hearts.
And as Miss Loretta Teevan, Brian Moylan's high school Latin teacher would say, "This comment is two-thirds of a pun: P U!"

Baggage allowances are determined by airlines and will depend on factors such as the fare paid, class, route, aircraft type, government regulations, and the airline's own commercial and health and safety policies.
In general, airlines set a "free baggage allowance", expressed by weight and by piece. Airlines may allow, and charge for, baggage not meeting these criteria (excess baggage). Travellers are advised to verify baggage allowances with the relevant airline when booking their ticket to avoid confusion or complications at the airport.
Baggage handling and delivery is the responsibility of the airlines from the point of check-in to the point of collection. If anything is left on an aircraft please contact the airline immediately.
Some airlines subscribe to a replacement service for baggage which has been damaged in transit. For details contact your airline directly.
Unusual items
Please inform your airline or handling agent about any outsize or unusual items of baggage well in advance of departure.

Low Carb Diets Shown To Impair Brain Function, Treadmill Desks Improve ItWritten by sbordley
America's fixation on low carb diets has been shown to be ineffective over the long term for dieters however study results released today suggests it may have harmful effects on brain function as well. The study out of Tufts University focused on women aged 22 to 55 engaging in low carb diets similar to the Atkins Diet. Participants were found to have significantly diminished memory scores than the control groups consuming a normal diet. Their scores were lower when tested for reaction time and visual spatial memory. The decline was short lived however as memory scores returned to normal upon resumption of a regular balanced diet.
The nation's obesity epidemic has reached alarming levels despite decades of fad dieting, ignoring American's simultaneous trend toward decreasing amounts of physical activity. Americans today burn 700 calories less per day than they did during the 1960's. Treadmill desks offer a unique solution compared with fad dieting. They offer employees the chance to burn significant amounts of calories during the day, enhance their health and at the same time enhance cognitive function.
Study after study is showing that supplements and diets are at best ineffective at attaining long term overall health and many pose potential harmful side effects as well, yet proven methods such as walking garner slight attention.
Consistent daily walking is very effective in both long term weight loss and also offers significant increases in brain function. A study by the University of Illinois recently showed that memory can be increased by as much as 15% in just 6 months, due to increased blood flow to the brain and that the production of small blood vessels in the brain can be boosted as much as 43%.
A variety of studies have already proven that walking greatly reduces the risk of developing dementia and Alzheimers later in life as well as offering protection from major diseases such as cancers, heart disease, and diabetes; weight loss is an important additional bonus.
So why aren't more people walking? A recent study by America on the Move found Americans do not exercise regularly due to time constraints, their second reason cited was will power. Treadmill desks answer both concerns. it is automatic and does not take any additional time out of an employees day.

If it weren't for Netflix's House of Cards making the drama races a bit more interesting, while opening the door to a brave new world of out-of-the-box content for future years' consideration, this year's list of Emmy contenders (see the major categories here) would be most notable for its numbing lack of imagination and vision. The list predictably singles out so many shows and stars from past seasons — many of them deserving, of course, but allowing precious little room for new blood.
Maybe CBS should start double-running The Good Wife on Showtime to confuse Emmy voters into thinking it's a cable series. That show's omission from the best-drama ranks (especially in light of an erratic Mad Men season), as well as that of star Julianna Margulies, is inexcusable. And maybe FX should try to convince the TV Academy that all of its drama series are actually miniseries in disguise — see: the overrated and way over-represented American Horror Story: Asylum, with a pack-leading 17 nominations — because snubbing such terrific dramas as Justified and especially the bold new The Americans (and their respective stars) is just a pity.

Other heartbreakers: Many of us had hoped that the buzz surrounding BBC America's protean discovery Tatiana Maslany, bringing to life all of those wonderfully disparate clones on Orphan Black, would have paid off with a star-is-born nod, but no such luck. Where's the second-season love for New Girl and its co-stars Zooey Deschanel and Max Greenfield? All dropped off the Emmy radar, so it's not such a shock that Jake Johnson would also be passed over for his winning work in the Jess-Nick romantic arc. And ignoring Monica Potter's brave and affecting performance as a cancer survivor on Parenthood last season? Makes me want to cry all over again.
While I have no beef with the voters' love for PBS' Downton Abbey — there should be at least one show on the best-drama list that doesn't make the viewer want to consider suicide — the acting nominations can be a puzzlement. Maybe not so much with Maggie Smith, who's always a delight, but a discerning viewer would have singled out Rob James-Collier in the supporting category for his terrific work as Thomas, the victim of O'Brien's malicious manipulations.
Is there an upside to a year when a creatively depleted 30 Rock can still earn the most comedy nominations in its final season while more deserving and still-growing shows like the invisible-to-Emmy The Middle and Parks and Recreation go begging? Here's a quick stroll on the bright side:
The year's most intriguing category by far is drama lead actress, with guilty-pleasure divas Vera Farmiga and Kerry Washington joining Nashville's beloved Connie Britton and Cards dynamo Robin Wright in the race against front-runner and last year's winner Claire Danes. That's four new contenders out of seven, and even with that expansion, there wasn't room for Margulies (who I would swap with Downton's Michelle Dockery). Double nominee Elisabeth Moss, one of the best things about Mad Men this season, has her fifth consecutive bid as Peggy Olson — but is much more likely to win as the driven New Zealand detective in Sundance's riveting Top of the Lake miniseries.
In the movie/minis field, despite Asylum's robust tally, Jane Campion's Lake shares bragging rights with HBO's Behind the Candelabra as the projects to beat — and there's no doubt that Michael Douglas's bravura impersonation of Liberace will guarantee him the sort of full sweep of the awards circuit that we saw Claire Danes (Temple Grandin) and Julianne Moore (Game Change's Sarah Palin) enjoy in recent years.
As for newbies of note to cheer, besides the thrilling Cards: FX's Louie, long overdue to join the top comedy tier; in supporting categories, Veep's Anna Chlumsky and Tony Hale (also a high point of Netflix's mostly shunned Arrested Development reboot); and Girls' Adam Driver for comedy; in drama, Game of Thrones' majestic Emilia Clarke and Breaking Bad's Jonathan Banks (first time since Wiseguy in 1989) for his unforgettable swan song; and in the guest categories, Harry Hamlin for his droll Mad Men turn and Good Wife's delightful Carrie Preston, part of a great field alongside The Americans' Margo Martindale, Thrones' imperious Diana Rigg and The Newsroom's formidable Jane Fonda.
Let the handicapping begin.

- For the track, see Call of Duty: MW3.
- "The life you knew before is gone, Today, we fight to bring it back."
- — John Price, in the Launch Teaser Trailer
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 is the eighth main Call of Duty game, and the fifth developed by Infinity Ward. It's the sequel to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and is the third installment in the Modern Warfare series until 2019.
Activision confirmed the title was in pre-production on April 9, 2010[1] and was released on November 8, 2011.[2] Sledgehammer Games, originally planning to work on the canceled action-adventure Call of Duty, worked with Infinity Ward to complete all aspects of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. Raven Software assisted with the user interface and downloadable content, as they have with previous Call of Duty games. The downloadable content was released once a month over a period of nine months. It was free to users of Call of Duty ELITE if they had the Premium version of the service.[3] Sledgehammer was aiming for a bug-free Call of Duty title and ratings above 95%.[4]
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 uses an upgraded IW 4.0 engine, dubbed the "MW3 engine" instead of "IW 5.0" out of courtesy for Sledgehammer Games.[5]
When a massive amount of leaked information was revealed by gaming news site Kotaku on May 13, 2011, Robert Bowling responded in a tweet stating: "A lot of hype & a lot of leaked info on #MW3, some still accurate, some not. To avoid spoiling the experience, I'd wait for the real reveal."[6] Later that day, four teaser trailers for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 were released on Call of Duty's official YouTube channel. Each one revealed a different location: New York, London, Paris, and Berlin.
The full reveal trailer was released on May 23, 2011. The trailer was leaked almost two hours before the scheduled air time, prompting Activision to officially release the reveal trailer earlier than planned. The reveal featured sequences from combat in all four of the previously confirmed locations.
The single player trailer, Redemption, was released on October 7, 2011, revealing bits of the story of the campaign, including the return of Captain Price as he continues his hunt for Makarov.
The Launch Trailer was released on the 21st, labeling "the next chapter in the worldwide phenomenon" as "the most anticipated game in history."
On June 19, 2018, the Xbox 360 version of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 was made backwards compatible on the Xbox One.
Official Site
The official site was launched on May 18. The site currently contains an interactive map with the four locations seen in the teaser trailers along with a News column, a collection of screenshots, and videos.
- "It doesn't take the most powerful nations on Earth to create the next global conflict. Just the will of a single man."
- — Vladimir Makarov
Hours after killing General Shepherd, Captain John Price and Nikolai evacuate a gravely wounded John "Soap" MacTavish to a safehouse run by Nikolai's allies in Himachal Pradesh, India. While Soap receives medical attention, a large group of men under Vladimir Makarov's command storm the safe-house in an attempt to kill the three. An ex-Spetsnaz operative named Yuri aids Price in giving Soap medical attention and securing a safe route to the extraction point out of the country.
The Russian invasion of the United States continues, culminating in the Battle of Lower Manhattan. A Delta Force team with the call sign "Metal" under the command of Sandman is deployed in New York City to repel the Russian assault along the East River. Team Metal succeeds in destroying a jamming device mounted on the rooftop of the New York Stock Exchange building and escapes on a Black Hawk helicopter. They later assist the U.S. Navy SEALs in boarding a Russian Oscar II to use its ordnance against the Russian Navy. As a result of Team Metal's actions, the Russians withdraw from the East Coast, and presumably the entire United States.
Two months later, Russian President Vorshevsky announces plans to make peace with the United States at a summit in Hamburg, Germany. During the announcement, several men who are loyal to Makarov sabotage the plane. Agents from the Federal Protective Service are able to escort Alena Vorshevsky, Vorshevsky's daughter, out of danger, but Vorshevsky himself is kidnapped.
With Soap largely recovered from his injuries, Yuri gives Price intelligence about an arms deal between Makarov and a militia known as the PRF in Sierra Leone. Task Force 141, now consisting of only Price, Soap, Nikolai, and Yuri, infiltrate a PRF-occupied village where the cargo is supposedly stored, only to find the an empty warehouse. The three push their way to a church in the center of town, but are too late in retrieving the cargo. Coming across a shipping manifest, Price learns that there are three packages that contain chemical weapons being distributed across Europe, meant to be used for assaulting Paris, Berlin, and London. Price covertly informs his former mentor, Captain MacMillan (currently Baseplate of the SAS), of his findings and asks for intelligence as a favor for Pripyat. The intelligence leads Task Force 141 to Waarabe, a warlord in Somalia.
Meanwhile, a French satellite discovers a possible security threat in London, which prompts them to contact the MI6. A British SAS team led by Sergeant Wallcroft is then deployed to prevent the use of one of the chemical weapons in London. They secure the dockyards and pursue the terrorists through the underground metro system. The SAS team destroys a truck suspected to carry the chemical weapons, only to discover it is a decoy. The actual truck carrying the bomb detonates elsewhere in London. Dozens of other chemical attacks are revealed to have been successfully conducted in major cities throughout western Europe. In Hamburg, Team Metal is deployed to rescue the Vice President of the United States, being aided by M1 Abrams tanks in the area, after the Russian military launches a land invasion of Germany immediately following the chemical attacks.
Task Force 141 and Nikolai's men assault Waarabe's stronghold in Somalia, where they learn from the warlord that he made a physical transaction with a bomb-maker named Volk in Paris. Operating on the intelligence acquired by Price, Team Metal executes a joint operation with the French GIGN to capture Volk. Team Metal is successful in the operation, albeit at the cost of the Eiffel Tower's destruction. Volk gives up information about a meeting held by Makarov in Prague.
With the aid of Kamarov, Price, Soap, and Yuri infiltrate the city with the intention of assassinating Makarov. Price takes a position in the Hotel Lustig, while Soap and Yuri provide cover from a nearby church. However, the assassination attempt goes awry when Makarov takes Kamarov hostage and reveals that he is aware of Yuri's alliance with Price and Soap. The church is revealed to be rigged with explosives and detonated, sending Yuri and Soap falling to the ground, while Price barely evades a bomb-laden Kamarov. Yuri survives unhurt, but Soap is wounded. The three take refuge in a nearby resistance safehouse, where Soap succumbs to his wounds after telling Price about Makarov's knowledge of Yuri. Enraged, Price punches Yuri, causing him to fall down a flight of stairs, and threatens to execute him. Through flashbacks, Yuri describes his role with the Russian Ultranationalists, having been present at Price's attempted assassination of Zakhaev, the nuclear detonation in the Middle East, and the airport massacre in Moscow. Yuri attempted to prevent the massacre, but was wounded by Makarov and could not help. Price decides to keep his alliance with Yuri, and the two follow up a lead on Makarov's suspected fortress, provided by Baseplate(Macmillan). Price and Yuri infiltrate the fortress and learn of President Vorshevsky's captivity, as well as recent intelligence that the President's daughter is in Berlin. Price and Yuri destroy the base and relay the intelligence to Team Metal. Team Metal acts on Price's findings and attempts to reach the safehouse where Vorshevsky's daughter has taken refuge, but they are too late to prevent her capture.
A joint rescue operation composed of Task Force 141 and Team Metal - with the exception of Sergeant Derek "Frost" Westbrook - is carried out in a diamond mine in Siberia. The team is successful in saving both of the Vorshevskys, but Sandman and other members of Team Metal are killed as the mine collapses during their extraction. The rescue mission brings about the end of the conflict between the United States and Russia.
With the war over, Price and Yuri track Makarov to the Hotel Oasis in Dubai. They wear Juggernaut armor and are virtually unstoppable until attacked by a helicopter while inside an elevator. Their armor catches fire, forcing them to shed it. They had only four minutes to find Makarov, so the two then head to the restaurant where he was reported to be. A helicopter then fires rockets at them, causing the atrium to begin to collapse. The floor collapses, and Price narrowly escapes falling to his death. After clambering up, he sees that Yuri has been impaled on a metal rod, and he tells Price to go on. Makarov attempts to escape via helicopter, but Price manages to leap onto the helicopter, kill the pilot and copilot, and crash the helicopter on the roof of the hotel. Price and Makarov lunge for a pistol, and Makarov wins the struggle. He prepares to kill Price, but is attacked by Yuri before he can finish the execution. Makarov kills his former ally, giving Price enough time to strangle Makarov with a loose cable. Price then wraps the cable around a beam, pushes Makarov through the glass ceiling of the floor below, and hangs him. Price survives the fall and victoriously lights a cigar while watching Makarov's swinging corpse.

Survival Mode is a new mode featured in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3's Special Ops mode in which players must fend off waves of A.I. controlled enemies on various multiplayer maps.

There's a big misconception in value investing that valuation is anchored to a discounted cash flow approach, using the present value of a company's future cash flows to determine its intrinsic value.
DCF serves a very useful purpose and should be a part of any value investor's toolkit. But an asset is only worth what the next buyer is willing to pay for it. If you bought a $500,000 home in 2007 and wanted to sell in 2009, your home wasn't worth $500,000 to a buyer. Stock market investing is no different.
At times, one of the most effective valuation tools for a publicly traded business is determining that company's value to a private buyer. Take Dell (DELL), for example. When I became interested in the company the shares were trading just under $10, I pegged fair value around $17 to $19 per share based on a conservative discounted cash flow approach. Yet Dell appears to be going private at a price of $13.65 a share as that's the price it's worth to a private buyer. Still, when it was trading at $10 the valuation was still cheap enough to lead to a healthy upside premium.
With a similar mindset, a friend of mine told me about apparel company True Religion (TRLG). True Religion is a leading player in the high-end denim market, with jeans retailing from $200 up to $500 for limited edition styles. Shares trade for $23, down from more than $40 a year ago. The market cap is $600 million and the balance sheet is stuffed with nearly $170 million in cash and no debt. For the three-year period of 2009 to 2011, free cash flow has averaged around $50 million per year. The company will announce fourth-quarter and full-year results after the market closes today. For the first nine months of 2012, True Religion generated about $15 million in free cash. Historically, the fourth quarter has been the company's strongest.
To a private equity buyer, True Religion is a layup. It's a $600 million company sitting on nearly $200 million in cash and no debt. In addition, the company's 3.4% annual dividend yield is equal to another $20 million a year that goes to shareholders that would stay with the company if it were privately owned. True Religion also has an iconic leader in Jeff Lubell, who I presume at a fair price would be glad to leave the scrutiny of public markets. Less than a year ago, True Religion was a billion-dollar company. It's not too difficult to see $800 million or more as a take-private price. Its prodigious cash flow generation would have financiers lining up to finance this deal.
A couple of years ago, another iconic brand name, J. Crew, was taken private in a $3 billion deal lead by private equity firm TPG. The deal valued J. Crew at 8x EBITDA and revenues for the full year were $1.5 billion. The 2011 EBITDA for True Religion came in at $90 million. Applying a similar multiple gets you a value of $720 million. Add in the $170 million in cash on the balance sheet gives you $900 million. The 2011 revenues for True Religion were $450 million. Applying the same multiple of 2x sales for J. Crew yields a value of $900 million.
At the end of day, the ultimate value will all come down to private equity appetite, which is clearly strong today.

Women are crazy. Yeah. I said it.
To every female who think a man is just supposed to know how to please you and how to make you happy… Die. That's just dumb to me. I have realized that women really do expect men to read minds and just know everything. How are we supposed to just know these things? How to please you in bed, how you feel, what you want to eat, if you really meant not to get you anything for your birthday, etc. That's just funny. I'm really convinced that some of you are crazy! I don't even know where to go with this post. I just think it's crazy.
Men we are just fucked. We can't say we don't like anything. We have to like everything because if we don't its trouble. Disagree? Tell a woman you have been dealing with for more than a couple months or so that you want her to suck your dick differently. She will first take it personally. Then she will wonder why you all of a sudden want it better so now you cheating. It will fuck with her confidence because all women think they're perfect right out the box. <-- That is true; no woman will admit it though. Tell a woman you don't like something she cooked. That's beef! "Oh, so you don't like my cooking now???" It could be that she added too much of something or didn't add enough of something. She will take it to the extreme and probably won't cook for you for a couple weeks. I know because I've had it happen to me, TWICE!
So women want men to read minds and men can't tell the truth about anything pertaining to a woman and her performances. It's kind of funny because we always wonder why shit don't work out when we date but have yet to realize that the problem is right in our face. YOU! -Dizzy

I was digging through a "lost" box of polishes that was recently found again. And I came across this polish that I remembered hauling back from my work trip to Melbourne. And all of a sudden, I have this urge to go back again to Australia (this time for a proper holiday).
Unfortunately, I'm going to be land-locked for a while. All my money's going to go into renovating my new house. Well, I do have an upcoming trip but that one was planned a seriously long time ago. Like way before I even decided to get the apartment. So, it's going to be just nail polish memories for now...

Gotta say though, this one had the worst brush ever! Even a damaged OPI brush would have worked better!

Roger Clemens: A Cardboard God Comes Into Focus
Like us on Facebook here
Saturday, January.12, 2013
By Saul Wisnia, Red Sox Correspondent (Read his blog 'Fenway Reflections' here): Follow @SaulWizz
I took the photo in Cooperstown, after driving from Boston to baseball's Mayberry with three buddies for my first look at the game's red-bricked shrine. When we entered the Hall of Fame Plaque Gallery, just off the museum's lobby, I instinctively knew which of the immortals I wanted to visit first. Walking through the years to the 1966 induction class, I found him on the wall right alongside Casey Stengel:
The picture stands today as the symbol of an era — and innocence — lost. In it, Roger Clemens and Ted Williams share confident, youthful smiles. Williams is, quite literally, a bronzed God, staring out at the photographer in his tanned, All-American glory. Clemens, wearing a fresh, clean Red Sox uniform, also has the look of a man who knows exactly what he wants out of life.
Williams yearned to be the world's greatest hitter; Clemens the top pitcher. At the time of the picture, in 1988, both had reached their goal.

Applying Systemic Functional Linguistics to Bahasa Indonesia Clauses
Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL) concerns the three metafunction meanings: clause as message, clause as exchange, and clause as representation. This article tries to apply the metafunctions based on SFL to Bahasa Indonesia clauses. The points of this paper are only two kinds of metafunctions could be applied to Bahasa Indonesia clauses: clause as message and clause as representation. The clause as exchange, according to the present writer, could not be applied to Bahasa Indonesia clauses since Bahasa Indonesia has no finite concept. The present writer found the word 'there' in English is equivalent to the word 'ada' in Bahasa Indonesia. Both of the words have no representational function; they are required because of the need for a subject in English.

Republican Gabriel Gomez sets stage for a run in Senate special election
Gabriel E. Gomez, a former Navy SEAL and private equity investor, took out nomination papers Monday to run as a Republican in the special election to replace Senator John F. Kerry, according to the office of Secretary of State William F. Galvin.
The move paves the way for Gomez to formally kick off his campaign, and sets up a contested Republican primary, pitting Gomez against State Representative Daniel B. Winslow, a former aide to Governor Mitt Romney.
Gomez had previously said he was likely to run and party insiders have been preparing for his entry into the race, following the decision by better-known figures, such as former senator Scott Brown, to stay out of the race.
Gomez, who is unknown but quietly gathering support from top Republicans, will now have until Feb. 27 to collect 10,000 certified signatures from voters to qualify for the April 30 primary.
Neither Gomez nor his advisors returned phone calls Monday afternoon seeking comment.
Gomez is in the process of hiring a major firm to gather his signatures, SpoonWorks Inc., at a cost of more than $100,000, according to a top GOP official who has been consulting with Gomez. Harold Hubschman, owner of the company, would not comment, saying he does not discuss his clients publicly.
There is concern among Republicans that the short window for gathering signatures, amid rough weather, could jeopardize the party's chances of fielding a candidate.
Hubschman, who has been paid more than $2.5 million over the last decade on petition drives for state races and referendums according to state campaign finance records, said it can be done.
"We know we can do it. It's not impossible,'' Hubschman said. "It's just very difficult.''
State Senate minority leader Bruce Tarr, of Gloucester, is also weighing a run.
The top Democratic candidates are both US Representatives, Edward J. Markey of Malden and Stephen F. Lynch of South Boston.

Congratulations to the 2015 Scholarship Finalists!
Hope Marchok, violin
Hope Marchok is a senior in high school. She has been homeschooled for all of her life. Her hobbies include basketball, playing music, and learning about basically everything. Violin came into her life at age three, and she has been taking lessons ever since. She began her studies at a small music school in Indiana and upon moving to Texas she began studying violin under Mrs. Nicolette Solomon, the director of the Suzuki Music Institute of Dallas. In 2006, she began studying piano with Dr. Bret Serrin also at the SMID. In addition, Hope has studied Music Theory with Dr. Carl Van Wyk since 2005 and plays in a small group of advanced strings at the school. The ensemble has had many wonderful performance opportunities over the years. They opened for Cindi Lauper at a Children's Medical Center benefit, and they are planning on touring in Spain this spring. Hope is also working part time at Periodontics and Implants Center of Mckinney as a sterile tech. She is honored to be able to participate in this event.
Isabeau Wrasse, piano
Isabeau June Wrasse is a 16 year old senior in high school, and is very excited to be participating in the Music Festival! Isa has been playing piano since the age of five, and started playing the guitar about 3 years ago. She enjoy singing and loves using these God-given talents for Him whenever she gets a the chance. Isa has been homeschooled all her life, and is very excited to be attending Southwestern Adventist University this coming fall. God has blessed Isa with a wonderful family and amazing friends who have supported her all my life. She says, "Things aren't always easy, but God always reminds me that I can do all things through Him who strengthens me."
Kenny Balinao, piano
Kenny Balinao is 17 years old and a senior at Chisholm Trail Academy in Keene, TX. Although he was born in Indiana, he has spent most of his life in Midland, Texas. Kenny began playing the piano when he was four years old and currently is employed as the pianist for the choir at CTA. In his spare time, Kenny enjoys playing tennis, the ukulele, and various video games. He is also an avid Washington Redskins fan and enjoys watching just about any sport. He has yet to decide what field of study he wants to pursue as a profession, but with college in the near future, he plans on deciding soon.
Kyle Dellosa, violin
Kyle Dellosa is a junior at Chisholm Trail Academy in Keene, Texas. Kyle started taking violin lessons at age 5 with Janet Melnicoff-Brown at the Peabody Conservatory Preparatory Division in Baltimore Maryland. His subsequent teachers were Swiatoslaw Kuznik, Oksana Sifri, Edgar Valenzuela and currently Dr. Marc Élysée. He regularly participates in University of North Texas Summer Orchestra Camp. Last summer, Kyle attended the UNT String Institute with Dr. Felix Oschofska and the Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary Summer Music Camp to take voice lessons with Dr. David Robinson. He loves to travel with his family and had the opportunity to visit Mozart's birthplace in Salzburg, Austria and see for himself the violin Mozart used when he was a child. He has also attended his mother, Lerie Dellosa, in her organ endeavors including an organ tour through Europe and Philippine Organ research. His father is a Family practice Physician with Texas health Resources (formerly Huguley Medical). Kyle is currently the CTA Junior class president, a member of CTA Blazer tennis team, the Southwestern Symphony Orchestra, CTA Choir and String Orchestra.
Trent Muse, piano
Trent Muse has played the piano for most of his life. During his sophomore year of High School at Chisholm Trail Academy, his passion for music reignited when he was given the opportunity to be the pianist for choir. Then, in 2014, he decided to audition for the Meyerson Festival Scholarship, and became a finalist. Now, as a freshman music major, he plays piano for the Southwestern University Singers.
"This scholarship gave me the opportunity to come to Southwestern where I got the job playing for the University Singers. I also play for churches and worship services. I look forward to these experiences every day."
At this point, Muse is not sure what he plans to pursue as a career, but is confident that God will guide him. "I just want to share my love and passion for music with others, however God wants me to do that."
Jennifer Ramirez, contralto
Growing up, Jennifer Ramirez never believed that she could sing. In middle school a teacher convinced her to join choir, and from there her love of music grew. Now she is a 2014 Meyerson Scholarship Finalist and freshman at Southwestern.
"This scholarship allowed me to attend Southwestern where everyone has become family. Here, I can sing and show others who my Savior is through my music."
Ramirez auditioned for the scholarship during her senior year at Chisholm Trail Academy because she thought it would be a fun challenge. Other friends had gone before her, but Ramirez didn't expect to be a finalist. The opportunity enabled her to improve musically and better use her talents for God. She now sings in the Southwestern University Singers and often shares special music or sings in praise team.
Ramirez plans to be a lawyer so she can continue to use her voice for God.
"I want to be the voice for those when no one else will hear them."
Mitchell Won, organ
Dana Wilson, violin
Italo Opazo, viola
Denielle Wilson, cello
Jonathan Penrod, trombone
Krystal George, soprano
Erika Martinez, flute
When Erika Martinez plays the flute, you can clearly see her passion for music. That passion drove her to audition and become a Meyerson Festival Scholarship Finalist, twice! She received the scholarship for flute in both 2012 and 2013. "Not too many high school students can say they performed at the Meyerson. And now to be on the other side, prepping for this event and helping the high school students prepare: it's a wonderful experience!"
Martinez attended Valley Grande Academy, where she played in the band, choir, and handbell choir. During 6th grade she began with piano lessons. After watching a band program, Martinez started asking her mom for flute lessons. Now, as a sophomore music major, she is a member of the Southwestern Symphony Orchestra, Southwestern Wind Symphony, and Southwestern University Singers.
Ultimately, Martinez wants to perform as the first flute for a major symphony orchestra. Her next step after graduation will be to enroll in grad school or at a conservatory and study under a major symphony orchestra flutist. "Someday I'll play at the Meyerson as a professional."
Eliann Reinhardt, violin
Ivana Ticar, soprano
Ivana Ticar chose Southwestern Adventist University for her faith. After enrolling at a non-Adventist university, Ticar began to question if she was going the right direction. She auditioned for the Meyerson Festival Scholarship as a soloist and upon acceptance as a finalist, Ticar officially decided to attend Southwestern.
Ticar started voice lessons at just five years old and piano lessons in third grade. She enjoys singing with her younger sister, and performed for 3ABN. While attending academy at The Oaks (Adventist Christian School), she played piano for choir. Now she is a sophomore music major and plays in the Southwestern Wind Symphony and Southwestern Symphony Orchestra.
"Even though I had taken many years of voice lessons, I still didn't think I was a good enough singer," said Ticar. "Becoming a scholarship finalist boosted my confidence. It made a significant difference in my life."
Peter Choque, violin
In 2012, as a Chisholm Trail Academy senior, Peter Choque was a Music Festival Scholarship Finalist on the violin for the Meyerson Music Festival. Today he plays the violin at Southwestern, and is active with the Southwestern Symphony Orchestra as well as the string quartet.
"I participated in Southwestern's music festival for 7 years but being a finalist gave me new responsibilities as a mentor," says Choque. "I would be in a different place without this scholarship."
In his fifth-grade music class, Choque began to take violin lessons. The interest in violin continues into his college studies. Although Choque is a nursing major, he makes time for music as much as possible.
"I really like the music program at Southwestern because they seemed to care about everyone," says Choque. "It doesn't matter if you're not a music major."
When he thinks about his future, Choque is not sure what the exact plan is, but he trusts that God will make the path clear. "Originally, I wanted to be a doctor here in the states but I think God is calling me to be a missionary. I still don't know where, but the plan is to go wherever God leads me."
Erika Martinez, flute
Denielle Wilson, cello
Reuben Hall, violin
Halla Kalmansson, soprano
Elaine McDonald, contralto
Leslie Castellanos, soprano
Eliann Reinhardt, violin
Iago Fernandes, classical guitar
Jean-Paul Fernandes, classical guitar
Edwin Choque, cello
Edwin Choque is a senior nursing major with a gift for the cello. As a former student and orchestra member of Keene Adventist Elementary School and Chisholm Trail Academy, Adventist education and music have been a huge part of his life. He chose Southwestern to continue that tradition. Choque received the music festival scholarship in 2011, as well as other scholarships in music and academics.
Choque is a member of the Southwestern Symphony Orchestra, Southwestern String Quartet and of the soccer team. Now a senior, he continues to maintain a high grade average. According to Choque, the key to balancing academics, music, and athletics is prioritizing and time management.
"If there's a big test coming up, you have to plan ahead and start studying," Choque says. "But it's still good to take a break, and you can use your practice or game as your break time. Music stimulates the brain; exercising helps your blood circulate. Then you can go back to your studying afterwards. Even if the test is the next day, just cramming and studying the night before is not the best way to study for a big test. You have to manage your time and start studying in advance, and then you have the time to take your break from studying and go to practice."

In addition to being fully reversible, which helps extend fabric life, this item's loose cushions also include built-in air vents to ease the process of escaping air when a cushion is sat upon, ultimately extending the life of the foam.
This collection was crafted on the value - It's what's inside that counts. Backed by a manufacturer lifetime frame warranty, this item is created from engineered hard wood, a manufactured wood made from multi-layer plywood that provides strength at an outstanding value. The engineered hard wood is then precision cut for interlocking accuracy and reinforced at points that receive the most wear.
Each seat cushion on this item comes with a specially engineered, self-healing zipper. On occasion, the daily stress that is placed on furniture can cause a cushion's zipper to pop, allowing the foam to compress incorrectly when the cushion is sat upon. This collection's self-healing zippers prevent that from happening. If for some reason a cushion's zipper should pop, merely un-zip and re-zip the piece, and watch as the zipper fixes itself.

When other furniture suppliers decided to take their manufacturing overseas, this group's manufacturer remained in the US, offering American made furniture with a wide selection of American made fabric options.

New Chapel Dedicated to Our Lady of Lebanon
New worship space is located at the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington, D.C.
WASHINGTON (CNA)—Bishop Gregory Mansour of the Eparchy of Saint Maron of Brooklyn, N.Y., recently described a new chapel dedicated to Our Lady of Lebanon as a gift "for the universal Church."
"The Church encompasses every culture of the world," Bishop Mansour told CNA on Sept. 30. "The Maronite Church has a certain affinity for the culture of the Middle East, the culture of Jesus himself."
The newly consecrated Maronite Chapel of Our Lady of Lebanon is located at the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington, D.C.
"It's a little chapel in the midst of many beautiful chapels in the shrine," said Bishop Mansour. "But it's a special gift."
The bishop expressed gratitude for the support of everyone who helped in the construction and consecration of the chapel.
The dedication of the chapel took place on Sept. 23, coinciding with the 50th anniversary of Our Lady of Lebanon Maronite Seminary in Washington, D.C., and the 50th anniversary of priesthood for the seminary's rector, Chorbishop Seely Beggiani.
Almost 300 people were present for the dedication.
Bishop Mansour consecrated the chapel, and Cardinal Donald Wuerl of Washington, D.C., spoke to those who had gathered for the ceremony.
The new chapel was designed by Louis R. DiCocco III, the president of St. Jude Liturgical Arts Studio of Havertown, Pa.
The stone interior of the chapel reflects the design of Lebanon's intimate stone churches.
A Syriac cross adorns the altar, as is common in ancient Syrian and Lebanese churches. Behind the altar is a crucifixion scene, as well as icons of the four evangelists and the Virgin Mary with the Child Jesus.
The chapel also contains images of St. Maron and Our Lady of Lebanon. The floor features a Cedar of Lebanon design.
Construction of the chapel was part of a three-year project undertaken by the Eparchy of St. Maron of Brooklyn. The eparchy also sought to renovate its Brooklyn cathedral, strengthen the missions and provide financial support for seminarians and retired priests.
The Eparchy of St. Maron of Brooklyn is composed of 40 parishes and missions in 16 states along the East Coast. The eparchy also contains a seminary in Washington, D.C., a convent for religious sisters and a monastery for contemplative monks.
