SAN DIEGO (CNS) - A yearlong celebration of the 100th anniversary of Balboa Park will get along just fine, despite a tentative court ruling that could derail plans to remove vehicles from the center of the area, one of the centennial organizers said Wednesday.
While providing an update on the 2015 celebration planning to members of the San Diego City Council's Natural Resources and Culture Committee, Mike McDowell said organizers might have a little less space to work with but will stay flexible.
A San Diego Superior Court judge last week sided with preservationists who sued to stop the park renovation, which would have removed cars from the Plaza de Panama and Plaza de California, along with construction of a bridge to divert traffic to a new underground parking structure.
The judge scheduled a hearing for Friday, sometime after which he'll affirm or modify his initial decision.
"Our attitude from the very beginning was that we needed to be flexible enough as we moved forward to make sure that, either way, we could take advantage of the result," McDowell told the committee members.
"If we had the Plaza de Panama (plan) happening, to have that additional park space, that additional parking, plan for it and use it -- if it didn't happen, to be able to understand that the park as it is will work just fine for the things we're planning," McDowell said.
He said organizers will locate events throughout the park, not just in the Prado or plaza areas.
"We are unimpacted, in my opinion, by the events relative to Plaza de Panama," McDowell said.
Former Mayor Jerry Sanders and Qualcomm co-founder Irwin Jacobs pushed hard for passage of the Plaza de Panama plan, over the preservationists' objections, in part so it would be completed in time for the yearlong centennial. Opponents mainly object to the proposed bypass bridge on the west side of the park, which they contend would be unsightly and threaten the area's historic status.
Current Mayor Bob Filner, who also didn't like the park renovation plan, said Wednesday in a separate forum that he hoped to restart mediation between supporters and opponents so that they might reach an agreement. However, if the start of construction is delayed much longer, it will still be going on when centennial events begin, he said.
McDowell also told the council members that leaders of the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C., were planning to tour the park next month and might participate in exhibitions that take place during the centennial. The Smithsonian operates the museums and zoo along the National Mall.
Feelers have also been put out to the government of Panama and the Panama Canal Zone to see if they want to participate. The park was first used as a site for the 1915 Panama-California Exhibition, but according to McDowell, the Central American nation barely participated in the event.

Postgame Video from Biz Jacobs
Under normal circumstances holding your opponent to only 18 shots on goal in sixty minutes of hockey is a great defensive achievement for a team. This was the case for the Boston Bruins Saturday afternoon in their matinee game against the offensively potent San Jose Sharks.
Unfortunately defense is only half of the equation for the most consistently successful hockey teams.
Coming off a rousing 6-3 victory over Dallas Thursday night, it might be fair to say the TD Garden crowd was somewhat disappointed in the bipolar play of their Bruins in the span of just a few days.They were the smooth and confident Stefan Urquelle stepping out of Steve Urkel's transformation chamber on Family Matters. Seemingly genetically altered to be perfectly smooth and confident, and it showed in their dominating play. Perfection in a gritty game was defined in the way they moved on the ice and responded to confrontation against an opponent they needed to beat.
This afternoon against the Sharks, the Bruins were just plain old glasses and suspenders Urkel looking back after sixty minutes with nothing to show, saying to themselves "Did I do that?"
"The Building was rocking here last game but it wasn't the same tonight," explained Bruins defenseman Adam McQuaid who dropped the gloves with Ben Eager in the first period in hopes of changing the tides early on. "I guess there is going to be the odd game like that but it's disappointing after the game we had against Dallas and then to come in and not to be able to get the two points."
Chances came and went, opportunities lost in the form of a bad breakout pass or a smothered rebound. Whenever an opening presented itself for the Bruins, the Sharks had no problem protecting the 1-0 lead they held for the entire game before scoring an empty netter to close the deal at 2-0.
"We just never got the opportunities we needed to score," said Bruins goaltender Tim Thomas, who finished with 17 saves. "They probably played the safest out of any team we've played this year as far as not taking any chances, making sure that they got the puck deep instead of trying to force a play. Sometimes that makes it tough to generate offense."
Midway through the first period Logan Couture scored the only goal the Sharks would need breaking free from a pack of players in front of the net and going to his backhand to beat Thomas. The Bruins certainly put their share of pressure in the offensive zone, but even when given the man advantage four times they failed to get momentum swinging in their favor, nonetheless convert on the power play.
Bruins coach Claude Julien tried his best to explain his clubs difficulties.
"Tonight was probably one of the tougher times that we've had at getting the puck in and when we did get it in, as I mentioned," he said. "We weren't winning the battles for loose pucks and they kept shooting it back down the ice.
"This is one you look at and you analyze it and you try to rectify that with your team and bring it to their attention. We're going to have more of those games coming up and we're going to need to do better."
In the grand scheme of the National Hockey League season it was one game. But as this season begins the rapid wind down of February and March, consistency counts more and more with every single game.
When April rolls around and seasons are left to seven game series, it pays to be Stefan more often than not.

Note: One of my most favorite people, Ms. Dot Colvin, passed away recently. This is a piece I wrote about her a few years ago.
In the early 1940's, long before Ms. Dorothy Jeanne Sallier (Dot) Colvin was our school librarian, she was a teenager growing up Port Sulphur, Louisiana. Located in the heart of Plaquemines Parish, Port Sulphur was a company town built in the 1930's for the employees of the Freeport Sulphur Company.Subscribe to Read!

Kingman, Ariz. • Authorities say a pyrotechnician from Utah suffered severe head trauma and burns after fireworks malfunctioned during a display in northwestern Arizona.
Kingman Fire Department officials say Jeremy Lee was investigating a pre-packaged box of fireworks that malfunctioned Thursday evening when they unexpectedly detonated at the Mohave County Fairgrounds.
They say the 40-year-old Lee was wearing appropriate safety equipment but suffered massive head trauma and burns.
Lee was taken to the Kingman Regional Medical Center and was later flown to University Medical Center in Las Vegas, where he was listed Friday in critical condition.
Lee's hometown in Utah wasn't immediately available.

Whitney Houston's brother, Michael, says he feels responsible for the superstar's death because he introduced her to drugs.
During an interview on "Oprah's Next Chapter," which aired Monday, he said, "I think probably the first time she ever did it (cocaine), it was with me. But you have to understand during the '80s, it was acceptable to the entertainment world. It was available. It wasn't a bad word ... (like it is) now. We just didn't know. ... We were traveling, we were on the road, we were young -- late 20s -- had money. We just got caught up. And it's been a battle ever since. ... It's painful. I feel responsible for (her drug problems), that I let it go so far. ... I taught her to drive. We played together ... and then when you get into drugs, you do that together too. It just got out of hand. Drugs are rough."
Bing: Whitney's mom writes memoir
Michael says he will never forgive himself for setting a bad example for his little sister: "(It's) something I'll live with for the rest of my life."
Michael also reveals that Whitney told him he shouldn't accept the blame for her problems, adding, "She always told me, 'I'll never let anyone make you feel bad or responsible for what I do. I'm a grown woman.'"
Previously, the singer's addictions have been blamed on her troubled ex-husband, Bobby Brown.
Houston died by drowning last February due to heart disease and the effects of cocaine use.

Venezuela election race starts, opposition at disadvantage
Venezuela's charged election race kicked off on Sunday with throngs attending mass at the coffin of deceased leader Hugo Chavez and vowing to back his preferred successor, Nicolas Maduro, over likely opposition contender Henrique Capriles.
The pair have until Monday to register their candidacies for the April 14 vote, which will determine whether Chavez's self-styled nationalist-socialist revolution will live on in the OPEC nation, home to the world's largest proven oil reserves.
Chavez died on Tuesday at age 58 after a two-year battle with cancer.
Former vice president Maduro, 50, a hulking one-time bus driver and union leader turned politician who echoes Chavez's anti-imperialist rhetoric, is seen winning the election comfortably, according to two recent polls.
Maduro pushed a snap election to cash in on a wave of empathy triggered by Chavez's death, and was sworn in as acting president on Friday to the fury of Capriles.
The boyish 40-year-old Miranda state governor, who often wears a baseball cap and tennis shoes, lost to Chavez in October. But he won 44 percent of the vote – the strongest showing ever by the opposition against Chavez.
Capriles has accused the government and Supreme Court of fraud for letting Maduro campaign without stepping down.
Although the ruling Socialist Party is favored to win, opposition supporters are trying to raise their spirits for a month of campaigning.
"There's no reason to think that the opposition is condemned to defeat," Teodoro Petkoff, an anti-government newspaper editor, said on his Sunday morning talk show.
Maduro has vowed to carry on where Chavez left off.
His first official meeting on Saturday was with officials from China, who Chavez courted to provide an alternative to investment that traditionally came from the United States.
He has adopted his mentor's touch for the theatrical, accusing imperialists, often a Chavez euphemism for the United States, of killing the charismatic but divisive leader by infecting him with cancer.

Great drive. Paid to have installed. Compatible with late 2009 iMac 27".
Best Uses
I purchased LaCie 6TB Thunderbolt drive but I returned because the drive makes horrible cricking kind of noise. Them I purchased 3TB drive for my iMac Mid 2011. Same here that it keeps making cracking sound all day and night long after a few minutes interval. This is normal to all Seagate drive which drives me crazy. It must be there severe engineering flaw which they are not at situation to recall. I bought western digital green drives and I'm happy. I never gonna buy seagate drive unless they correct the noise factor. Seems like the drive cries for some reason.
The site listed this drive as being compatible with a mac mini. Obvious when it arrived that it's way too big. Oh well, now I need an enclosure.
I too am considering this upgrade to SSD. This may seem trivial but try control panel, programs and features, windows features and untick internet explorer then reboot. Upon reboot go and retick the box to reinstall that feature. This has worked for me in the past when ie stopped functioning. Good Luck. Please let us know the results.
I have a Gateway NV59c laptop, and on this site I have a compatibility guarantee for the Crucial MX100 500 GB SSD I picked up.
I used Acronis to clone the drive. When I hook it up via USB with the Crucial adapter kit, I can see the drive is cloned. However when I remove my current HDD and replace it with the SSD, the computer doesn't even get to the BIOS screen, it just shows the Gateway splash, says hit F2 for Setup, but it won't respond to F, it shuts off and restarts. Rinse, repeat.
Any ideas? I don't want to return the SSD, I want to get it to work.
Hi all!
I apologize ahead of time, as I am not super techy.
About 7-8 months ago I replaced the HD and memory in my early 20078 24" iMac. All was working great, but about 2 months ago or so, it stopped booting up (white screen, folder with question mark.)
I finally got around to trying to fix it again, and got out a boot disk (Snow Leopard, as that is what I happened to have on a disk.) It starts the process of installing the OS, but when it gets to the screen that asks what disk to install the OS on, it never finds a disk. I am guessing there is some issue with the HD? Just trying to see if I can get some directional hints on how to next proceed.
HD: Seagate Barracuda 3TB SATA-600, part # ST3000DM001
Memory - 4GB kit (2GB x 2) 200-pin SODIMM, part # CT2K2G2S800M
Hi jeremy1988,
I think it is hard to tell for sure, you would probably get better feedback from people who actually use SSDs during compiling. I believe that (please correct me if I am wrong) that during compliling there is a huge count of small reads and writes and lot of seek operations, that is why it is rough on mechanical drives I guess.
The situation is different with SSDs, there is no moving parts and what wears out the drive are NAND write operations.
Modern SSD can handle hundreds of TBs of writes. Whats even better Crucial M5x0 and MX100 models use AD Average Block-Erase Count SMART attribute which is like small clock ticking to 3000 value, where in general 0 value stand for 100% health and 3000 stand for 0% health. So you can actually keep an eye on how fast your SSD is wearing out (in terms of NAND writes).
I don't know how large drive do you need but personally I like to experiment and evaluate - I would probably try to test it with one of my spare SSDs, or buy cheap MX100 128GB (that seems to be great drive by the way) that in the worst case scenario I could use in a different system
There is probably one thing you should keep in mind that could possibly (or not) affect SSD performance while using in Linux system. In general to maintain best speeds it is necessary to have TRIM working but I believe it is not a problem for modern distros and/or kernels.

gonna be some more excitement: The Dsquared2 and the Giorgio Armani shows, and for them i wore a
full on Mawi necklace, vintage t-shirt, cheap monday customised jeans, Missoni socks,
Balenciaga shoes and amazona Loewe bag

At the Giorgio Armani show there was loads of geometricity going on in prints and fabrics, in different
scales and textures. Specially liked the faded shades they used all trough the collection.

MADISON, WI (WTAQ) - A Madison woman will be sentenced Friday afternoon for torturing and starving her teenage stepdaughter until she got down to just 68 pounds.
43-year-old Melinda Drabek-Chritton struck a plea deal in April. She avoided a trial by pleading no contest to reckless endangerment and mentally harming a child.
Those charges carry maximums of 25 years in prison and $50,000 in fines. Four other counts were dropped.
Authorities said the defendant's stepdaughter was locked in a basement and starved for years, until she broke away in February of 2012. She was 15 at the time.
In March, a Dane County jury convicted her husband Chad Chritton on two counts of child neglect. A mistrial was declared on four other charges, after the jury could not reach unanimous verdicts.
Chritton will be re-tried on those counts starting February 12th.
Also, the girl's stepbrother is scheduled to go on trial early next year on charges that he repeatedly molested her.

Indiana State Police say they have found the two week old boy, Jacob Alexander Black, they have been searching for after he was taken from his legal guardians by his biological mother.
Authorities say 21-year-old Carrie J. Black and 22-year-old Randy R. Black of Tell City turned themselves in at the Dale Police Department. They also had Jacob, who was safe and sound.
They say Jacob will be turned over to Child Protective Services.
Troopers say Carrie and Randy have both been arrested on theft and interference with custody charges.
ISP say on Saturday around 1:30 p.m. CST, the Santa Claus Police Department responded to W. Shepherd's Lane for the report of a possible child abduction and stolen vehicle.
Investigation showed Jacob's biological mother, Carrie had gone to her parents, the legal guardians of Jacob, for a supervised visit.
During the visit Carrie was left alone in part of the house with Jacob. While being left alone, Carrie took Jacob, some of her parent's credit cards, their vehicle and left the area. ISP says the vehicle and credit cards were also returned.
Since leaving her parents house Carrie, Jacob and Jacob's father, Randy were seen in the Owensboro, KY Wal-Mart on State Route 54 around 4:11 p.m. CST Saturday night.
Jacob was not believed to be in immediate danger, but officials say he needed to be returned to his legal guardians.

UFOs and Phenomenon
We coexist in a world of tangibles in intangibles. Some things we can thump on and feel their third dimensional reality; that is one form of reality we all recognize. But, some things we can feel the presence of or experience the effects of, yet they have no solid form or logical explanation. Does this make them any less real? This, of course, begs the question, 'what is reality'? What seems 'real' to one may not appear to be 'real' to another. Why? Because every form of reality is based on a person's life experiences. For me, an unknown reality is an invitation to explore something I haven't yet experienced.
Whether the subject is UFOs, crop circles, earth mysteries or other enigmatic, mysterious topics, there is something there that we should be examining. Otherwise these puzzling mysteries would not exist. They make us question our perception of illusion and reality. The make us think. And most importantly, they make us expand our horizons.
As you explore the pages contained in this section of my site, keep your mind and heart open, because it is the lack of judgment that will truly allow you to expand your reality.

pretty open question really...
I now take more portraits than anything else - a few years ago I took none and just shot trees and rocks.
When I shoot someone new, it's an interesting interaction - small talk, putting them at ease .... all that stuff.
I guess my goal, in a nutshell, is to capture the person being totally natural - I rarely, if ever, pose anyone - that is definitely not what I'm about. I don't do much post processing other than generic changes (curves, clarity etc.) in Lightroom and use flash to add a bit of interest - and technical challenge. Locations' the final thing - I rarely use a controlled environment like a studio, preferring to create a look "on the fly" in hotels, board rooms, tunnels, streets, hills... proper busking
Very interested to hear what other people look to achieve - there are many fantastic shots which are "very posed" and "very processed" - a different (and arguably more popular) vibe.
Quote: what are you trying to achieve
Nearly all of my Portraits are taken in the studio, it's comfortable, controlled and predictable (unlike the weather).. I would like to get out and about more, but as I am studio based my clients come to me wanting a studio experience, who am I to argue with them.
It's way too cold this time of year for all that out doors stuff anyway, no one would be enjoying themselves.
I guess when i am doing portrait shoots i am mostly going for emotion. Usually thats a 'staged' emotion from the model, and lighting/processing to compliment it. I would add that these portraits are not necessarily the sort that are typical with portrait studios that Paul Anthony is referring to (i think) and more of an arty type (apologies if that sounds wrong, but i guess i mean i dont shoot what would be regarded as a 'family portrait', as usually the model is hired for a particular image rather than me being hired to take a shot).
I specialized in photographing women, show biz types, singers, actresses for publicity shots and the newspapers and magazines.
I used to talk a lot of artistic guff about bringing out the character of the person, how lighting could accentuate or minimize features, all that - I always had the gift of the gab I'm glad to say.
But it was business and basically I was successful at it because I made them look nice

Snap shooter
I'm still a novice at this and my present challenge is to produce an image that shows something of the personality as well as the person.
I like faces that light up when they smile and that can change mood in an instant.
Shooting in our camera club studio evening we normally end up with two 5-7minute sessions each so its a real challenge to chat with the model and try to establish a rapport with them in this time (but it has surprised me how quickly it can be achieved)
I provide the model with a DVD of images + few good quality prints (mounted if I feel they are really special) and its great to get positive feedback, particularly from someone who started out unsure aboout how they looked in front of the camera
Shooting out of the studio its just trying to capture the moment, usually of the grand-children defying death and having a great time
I'm trying to achieve something they like AND something i'll like.
This is what I want for my main current emphasis (even though I'm hardly shooting at the moment)
I want to capture, emphasise, even create beauty beyond the person themselves. More creating an Illusion than reality - I call this the perfume ad look.
I want to control how the shadows on the face transition into the darker areas in a smooth toned flow.
I want eyes to engage the viewer and there to be the illusion of deep thought or feeling, above all i want the look to be aspirational.
So less like Ade in this one particular aim that I'd like to achieve. But then remembering that I'd also like them to have something they like too, perhaps it has to be much more like Ade's.
My aim was and still is to create something memorable, with drama and intrigue.
Working in the studio was well and good, but as Ade pointed out, nothing beats working on the fly, making it up as you go along. For me, too much planning often created issues, i overcomplicated matters when i should have been simplifying them. And the creativity that flows from working on location is without equal, studios can be stifling places at times, though convenient granted, but its more of a buzz outside the blinding lights of the studio.
Its been a year now since i worked with any models, i have not actively been looking to shoot models again, or any kind of clients for that matter, but what i used to achieve the goals with my models i extend into most area's of photography, even though i am taking less images at the moment (i have a day job now) my aim is the same, memorable, dramatic and intriguing, whether i even come close to any one of these remains to be seen.

You want to take up corporate portraiture, accountants will love you
interesting Alexandra - I too rarely use "models". For fun shoots I know a bunch of professional dancers and have a huge pool of musicians (through my blues brothers band and their connections) who are only too happy to have a shoot. Dancers can do all sorts - the positions they can get in and height they can jump... .cool
99% of my paid shoots are with non-models, usually company directors - they've no idea what to do 1/2 the time, so the most important thing with them is the "people skills" side, to get them talking and having a laugh, lighten up, get the right shot that way.... need to do it fast too as they're always busy! Shooting with "non models" means you're going through this process all the time - it's great practice for the paid jobs. You can try things out before doing it with a paying client
Working with real models is, in a way, too easy... they just look great and get into great positions without prompting - which is all well and good for fashion/arty stuff, but not good practice for tricky clients
It's a bit like a landscaper going out and having a perfect sunset every day.... which is brilliant, but in reality, it doesn't help you learn when the conditions are not so good.
One of my "mentees" (if that's a word....) is an NLP trainer, doing shoots with him is a real eye opener - I'll set everything up and then watch his interactions with the sitter... he reads people and within about 5 shots he's got them laughing and talking about all sorts... amazing skill to have
Quote: studios can be stifling places at times
No offence Alex but if they are that is your fault. A studio is a large room where you control everything from lighting to choice of subject - even the temperature. That's all.
The results you produce there will owe nothing to serendipity. That is why some people find it difficult or stifling. Nature gives you luck and opportunism but the studio gives you control.
The work that comes out of a studio is the work of the photographer alone. For a professional photographer, that means there are no excuses. That's why many pros, including many I have known, don't like it. To control and build lighting you must understand light and how it works in the same way a painter must.
It shouldn't be either/ or. Most capable photographers can do studio and natural light and combinations of them. But creativity is in the mind, not a room or the great outdoors.
.....to be fair, the main reason I don't use studios is cost in this current climate. If I thought I could drum up enough extra trade to justify one, I'd probably go for it.
Especially in winter...
I guess it's what you "enjoy" too - maybe there's the landscape/architecture photographer in me which enjoys using locations
Quote: maybe there's the landscape/architecture photographer in me which enjoys using locations
Viz Top Tip: Have sand, stones, astroturf and some blue backing paper delivered to the studio. Hey presto, instant winter landscape photographs without getting cold or wet!

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WHAS11) -- One of St. Xavier's star football players who went on to play ball at the University of Kentucky is in trouble with the law.
Hall is charged with assaulting a police officer last week.
While it's the first time the 18-year-old UK freshman Daylen Hall has been charged with a felony, it's far from the only time he's been in trouble in the past 15 months.
Hall was an all-state offensive and defensive football standout at St. X High School.
In his final two years, he intercepted 11 passes, running three back for touchdowns, helping lead his team to a state championship and earning a full scholarship to the University of Kentucky.
But it's what he's allegedly done off the field that's landed him back in the public eye.
Early this morning, Hall was charged with third degree assault on a police officer, after he allegedly punched a Jefferson County Sheriff's Deputy in the face, breaking his glasses.
According to the arrest warrant, the deputy was attempting to get Hall off the field after last Friday's state championship lacrosse game between St. X and Trinity High School.
We went to Hall's home, but he didn't want to talk about the incident.
It's not the first time Hall's been in trouble recently.
He was dismissed from the UK football team in February for unspecified violations.
Later that same month, he was arrested in Louisville for possession of marijuana, a charge to which he pleaded guilty.
And, Hall got the most nationwide attention with another attack on a security guard. Cell phone video shows him tackling a security guard at a hotel in Panama City, Fla. last year, knocking the man into a swimming pool.
Hall was not charged in connection with the pool incident.
Herman Harris, a former police officer, is a St. X fan who sells hot dogs near the high school campus said Hall's behavior Friday is a big deal.
"It's a big deal because our police officers are out there to protect the community that they serve. And I think a lot of young people today don't have any respect for law enforcement and authority figures," Harris said.
Hall is scheduled to be arraigned on the charge on June 19.

"I think her dereliction of duty and her lack of leadership should preclude her from holding any office," Paul said in a speech to the Missouri Republican Party last week.
Paul also noted that during a Senate hearing earlier this year, he told Clinton he would have "relieved her of her position" because she did not read the cables requesting additional security in Libya.
The comments lay bare what every Republican is thinking on the eve of Wednesday's House Oversight hearing on the Benghazi attacks. Three "whistle blowers" are scheduled to testify about the Obama administration's response to the attacks on the U.S. Consulate, and early reports indicate that Clinton will be a central target of their criticism.
Of course, Paul has a personal interest in making sure Clinton — a potential 2016 rival — stays out of public office.

May <I>Cleanfax</I>: Traditional advertising does not work
Are you using expensive advertising methods to attempt to build business? Choose the right
The May issue of CM/Cleanfax® magazine is now available online, featuring Steve Marsh''s Single Truck Success article on how traditional advertising does not work.
Marsh states that using traditional advertising as your vehicle to make money is like trying to drive to Hawaii from California — a car is the wrong vehicle; it doesn''t matter how nice, fast or expensive it is, a car is not going to get you there.
He notes that we tend to think that we just haven''t found the perfect combination. Ads are visible to the public, so if you did come up with one that works, your competitors will copy it until it is no longer effective.
Marsh adds that the answer is to acquire loyal customers who regularly repeat and are willing to pay a fair price for service and professionalism.
According to Marsh, building a clientele requires a much smaller pool of consumers, and once you build that group, referrals provide your growth and stability.
Steve Marsh is the creator of the Be Competition Free Marketing Program. He is a 30-year veteran of the carpet cleaning industry, an IICRC-approved instructor, and a Senior Carpet Inspector. Marsh is a marketing and business consultant who provides a turn-key program for attracting better customers. For more information, log on to www.BeCompetitionFree.com.

Though it's slow and heartbreaking for some, It is also true. It can happen to anyone in reality. You find love, you lose love. It can happen to any of us....
Rated 1.5 / 5 stars June 8, 2014
Even though it has soft music it doesn't really make it heartwarming but kinda unsettling, not beautiful it kinda shows it in a disturbing way, it kinda makes you tear up for what you do and don't recognize what you're doing, because if you would have known im pretty sure you would definitely stop. And there is no option to stop even if you don't click the game makes you want to click to complete the game. (im talking about that part)
It might serve as an experience but as a game it does not offer the freedom, as the description says: The illusion of free will. But come on, the game is linear, not even the part of "Then i kissed her" "Then he kissed me" is an option, as it chooses "Then he kissed me", so you can't have much control of what you do, even if the game supposedly gives you that option, and in the end it was pretty much in vain the number of clicks, because, you don't really earn anything with this. So, the only option in the VERY end, is to rather run away or drown yourself. Ether choice makes a depressing ending still, that doesn't change anything...
At least it has it's depressing atmosphere in the air with noir-style pixels and heartwarming music, but otherwise as a game doesn't do much. Sorry for my english.
Rated 0 / 5 stars March 25, 2014
Piece of shit boring game that uses the veneer of "art" to justify it self. Who wants to play a game where all do you is murder a women and kill yourself? Soft music and a black and white color scheme don't make up for its loathsome content. Implying a rape, only to swerve and go with a murder instead? The only enjoyable moment is when you get to drown the bastard. 0/0
Rated 0 / 5 stars March 4, 2014
Bunch of doo doo. Leave the psychopathic stuff for the psychopaths.
Rated 0 / 5 stars February 16, 2014
Of course a game like this wins the international day for eliminating violence against women. People want a cheap quarter-chopped game that appeals to peoples senses very quickly without having quality.
Poor game.

Listen Remaking "Raiders of the Lost Ark" shot by shot
Listen Listen to the full interview with Eric Zala and Chris Strompolos
The fact that they were respectively 11 and 10 years old didn't concern them.
Many such projects begin, while very few reach completion. But Zala and Strompolos stuck with it, and after 7 years completed "Raiders of the Lost Ark: the Adaptation."
It's a complete recreation, shot for shot, of the original film.
The movie gets a screening tonight in Minneapolis, with Strompolos and Zala, now in their 30's, in attendance. Zala admitted to Minnesota Public Radio's Euan Kerr that when his friend first asked him to direct the film, he thought the preproduction was all done.

Law enforcement officers in a city outside of Fort Lauderdale, Florida have been conducting "reverse sting" operations to lure potential cocaine buyers, and funneling the proceeds into the police department budget, ABC News reports.
The Sunrise, Florida police department has brought in millions of dollars through these sting operations, the article notes.
Undercover police detectives pretending to be cocaine dealers attract potential cocaine buyers from around the country. When deals are successful, informants can receive large payouts. Police seize cash and non-monetary assets including cars.
Money from the operation has been used to buy new equipment and to pay officers overtime.
The operation was first reported by the Sun Sentinel after conducting a six-month investigation. The newspaper reported this weekend the operation has been shut down as a result of the investigation. Sunrise Mayor Michael Ryan said the paper exposed police tactics and strategy and compromised the work.
"The police are not actually finding these drug dealers on their own but they rely on paid and unpaid informants to tell them about people that might be looking for cocaine, and it became obvious to us that the reason they are doing this is because of the money," Megan O'Matz, one of the reporters who broke the story, told ABC News.

This is a Great board, but unfortunately I ordered the wrong size and it wasn't compatible with my bindings. Nice design and lives up to the surfer style for powder boards. Wish it were offered in more sizes, but that's not major (when picking a size, always choose the larger size for a powder board). FYI, the Voile chinese hooks are NOT compatible with Karakoram bindings!

Miu Miu's Women Tell Another Tale
In 2011, Miu Miu debuted The Women's Tales, a series of short films that Miuccia Prada commissioned from international female directors (Zoe Cassavetes, Lucrecia Martel, Giada Colagrande, and Massy Tadjedin), each of whom explored various aspects of the feminine experience in their work. Today, Miu Miu has released a trailer of the fifth film in the series—The Door—which, directed by Ava Marie DuVernay (who, it should be noted, became the first African-American woman to win the best director prize at Sundance for her film Middle of Nowhere in 2012) illuminates both the power of female bonds and the transformative function of clothing (Miu Miu clothing, to be exact). "Every time a woman makes a film, it is a political act, in my view, whether we mean it to be or not," says DuVernay. "Films by women—whether comedy or drama, documentary or narrative—illustrate the human experience through a woman's voice, through a woman's eyes, through a woman's creativity. Experiences which are often marginalized, fabricated, or simply ignored."
Starring Gabrielle Union, Alfre Woodard, Emayatzy Corinealdi, Adepero Oduye, and singer-songwriter Goapele, The Door follows each member of its cast as she approaches a friend in need (who happens to be the film's heroine). Take an exclusive sneak peek at DuVernay's film (above) and keep an eye out for the full-length version, which will debut on Miu Miu's website on February 11.

Our reporting approach
As a demonstration of MOL's resolve to integrate a sustainability approach into everyday business operations, management decided to merge our Annual and Sustainable Development Reports and move towards an "integrated" reporting approach in 2008. Consequently, the company now follows the Triple Bottom Line approach; presenting the economic, social and environmental performance of MOL Group in one comprehensive report.
The "Sustainability: non-financial performance" section of the Annual Report contains information on the key achievements, challenges and data of the given year about the most relevant topics for MOL in the area of sustainability. Beyond this report, one will find a general presentation of MOL's policies, management approaches and other regularly maintained and updated SD-related information at www.mol.hu/sd. While the Annual Report's main audience is assumed to be our shareholders, investors and sustainability analysts, our webpage is tailored to answering the information needs of all stakeholders.
The sustainability performance data contained within this report was reviewed by Ernst and Young (please see the assurance statement for the specific scope) and the assurance process was planned and performed in accordance with the International Federation of Accountants' ISAE3000 standard.
This Annual Report, together with MOL's website, meets the requirements of the A+ rating of the GRI G3 Sustainability Guidelines in accordance to the GRI (see the assurance statement on p. 224.)

New York City Economic Development Corporation (NYCEDC) is seeking proposals for the development and implementation of a placemaking through lighting initiative that will transform the experience of Lower Manhattan at night. This initiative should increase Lower Manhattan's exposure, expand its appeal and spur more diverse business activity by creating a strong neighborhood identifier. The selected team will be responsible for executing an innovative project that will become a landmark for the neighborhood, visible to viewers from both near and far.
Successful RFP candidates will most certainly be inspired by the Tribute in Light art installation that ran for a brief period in 2002 and has since been shown every September 11th.
Fun fact: the lights at Times Square are a zoning requirement. Lights cannot even be switched off earlier than 1 AM, though most seem to be on way past then.

There is just no easy answer to the dilema. The options that have been kicked around are 1. Amnesty clause - should be in the new CBA but still not a nice way to treat Roy after all that he has gone through for the team. upside is millions in savings.

that girl you just called stupid? thats dan howell
i thought this was cute
PJ & Chris version ☆
Click play and read.
Dan made his way down the street, going in the direction of the small cobblestone path. He was planning on meeting his best friend, Phil, today. They hadn't seen each other in so long. Both of them had quit YouTube quite a few years ago. If you went on their channel, it would say 'no longer active'. Dan still had his mighty and loyal danosaurs, although most of them had just forgotten about him. He knew that would happen over the years…and it made him sad, but happy at the same time. Sad, because he knew he was finished with YouTube, but happy because he had an incredible journey with his fans and friends.
Dan reached the path and turned on to it. Up ahead, he saw Phil. He was a bit slow today, due to back problems and some arthritis. Dan had always cracked his knuckles and back too much. Even though Phil told him to stop, he would keep doing it.
The brunette met his friend and they both ended up planted on the grass. Dan cleared his throat and turned to face Phil, "By the way, a fan sent these lion socks to my P.O. box and they wanted me to give them to you." He tossed the still-tagged article of clothing over to Phil, making them land right beside him. "I remember in one video, you said you would love to own a pair of lion socks. I guess that's why the fan sent them…I'm surprised they still remember us. The two dorky teenagers talking to a camera, and then to millions of people. Dan always had more subscribers than Phil, but eventually, the hate put on Phil had died down a lot and they both had an equal amount of subscribers, ending with over four million. "I miss it, to be honest." Dan spoke to his friend again. "Just the fact that you got to meet tons of people and experience amazing opportunities. It was a lot of hard work, but it was definitely worth it. If I hadn't made YouTube videos, I wouldn't have had the chance to meet you. Meeting you completely changed my life." The two best friends ended up spending all day together, from sunrise to sunset, just talking about their memories.
The moon glowed faintly in the peach pink sky, signaling Dan that he needed to get home soon before it got too dark. He stood up, while Phil stayed rooted to the ground. Dan gazed down at the shiny, new tombstone that was sat in front of him. He rested a severely veined hand on the rounded top, giving his friend one last goodbye for the day. "I really miss you, Phil. Hopefully we'll be reunited up there. Maybe soon." And with that, Dan pulled his hand off of his beloved friend's gravestone, beginning to walk away. He actually enjoyed being outside, especially at dusk. The slight summer breeze would blow through his grey toned hair, whipping it around frantically. Dan inhaled fully, before settling down the cobblestone path, wondering if he would see it once more.
No more than a week later, another tombstone was placed perfectly next to Phil's. So, the two dorky best friends would be with each other forever.
Oh my fuck. It's on my dash again.
holy shit that just broke my heart im crying all over my computer
who told you this was okay
this is not okay

Panasonic RP-HTX7 Headphones
Tech Test Lab Review
Price: $32.24 (Amazon)
Rating: Recommend*
Oh headphones, how we love thee! To listen to music in one's own little world on one's own sound isolated terms can be pure auditory bliss...if done correctly. I'm always on a constant search for better tools for listening, and today I found a candidate for evaluation combining style and performance at a very nice price.
Let's talk a bit about Panasonic. They've been in the business for a long time without any product icons of note. Sure, they have their Lumix cameras, as any shutterbug will remind you, but what have they invented or pioneered? (feel free to chime in in the comments if you feel there is something we've missed).
Don't get us wrong, Panasonic offers some fantastic home electronics: their televisions come to mind, and they're a first tier company in many home device categories. They just don't have a real defining product line with instant public brand recognition yet. Well, things may be about to change.
Looking at the melodically named RP-HTX7 headphones, you could be forgiven for mistaking these cans as models from the 1970's. They have all the right styling cues and they are carried out as if the designers actually designed them from their polyester-loving time period. Genuine in their execution without any superfluous decoration, they seem "real": The cord wrapped cabling, the generously sized earcups, the sewn leather "style" headband, the simple appointments which all serve a function. The design is nothing if not an ode to pre-digital age detailing.
I've owned a pair for several years, as evidenced by the discontinued beige edition, and at this point I can attest to their quality construction. The photos show how well they've held up physically despite daily use (except for the minor cracking on the foam surrounds). The slides for the head adjustments are definitely looser than when new, but they still function beautifully.
I had originally purchased these headphones to create a buffer zone between office politics and my oft easily distracted brain. Music can be a great way to create some focus in your life while also advertising " I'm busy" signal to those who might try to sidetrack your intent.
The sound is quite good, and as you can see from the specs below, offers a broad range of sound reproduction. Soundstage is limited but present. Bass reach is good and it's reasonably tight. The upper-mids can be a bit harsh and ear fatigue will eventually set in, but the overall delivery across the frequencies is quite even.
One of the benefits of closed, over-ear design is the option to listen to them at lower volumes. Detail is not something these shine with, but listeners will never feel cheated while listening to a wide range of musical genres. Of course, the earth will not move when you put on a pair, but for around $30 with a strong construction, you could do much worse than these style+performance models.
These were once $50 or $60 headphones but now you can buy them new for around $30 online, making the Panasonic RP-HTX7 headphones and affordable pleasure.

Panasonic had a big hand in the invention and adoption of SD, come on that's a big one! Also they make the Plasma sets in the world especially now that Pioneer is out of the 'picture'.
bad proofreading...they make the <best> plasma sets
weird, best keeps getting blanked out, it should read BEST plasma sets.
Panasonic actually had a lot of great designs back in the day, like this iconic television:
And these radios:
Certainly the SD is a pretty powerful technology, but... it's not all theirs. I guess the same could be said for the CD.
I still feel that tvs are their best product, so I agree with that...
Those links are cool- some good stuff in their history- I love that dynamite thing:)
Panasonic is the same company as Technics and Quasar, so: turntables! Microwaves!
I had a set of these for a few days before taking them back. The sound quality is fine, but the cable was a wee short and, at the time, for $60, I wasn't thrilled. Now at work, I sport some the Koss KSC75 and am much happier with the price and being able to hear what's going around me.

GREEN BAY, WI (WSAU-WOODCHUCKS) - The Wisconsin Woodchucks used a five-run first inning to endure a comeback attempt by the Green Bay Bullfrogs and improve to 1-0 on the 2013 season.
In that five-run first, the 'Chucks took advantage of an error by the Bullfrogs, adding four hits, including an RBI single off the bat of Madison Carter. Woodchuck starter Zach Rengel was effective on the mound in his Northwoods League debut. Rengel went 4.2 innings, allowing three runs on four hits with two walks and seven strikeouts. Rengel's only mistake came on a two-run home run to Bullfrog designated hitter Jose Godinez in the second inning.
After struggling in the first, Duke was outstanding for the rest of the night. He would go four additional innings, allowing only one more base-runner on an error by first baseman Tripp Martin. Duke's final line was five innings, four hits, three earned runs and a strikeout.
The Bullfrogs would pull to within two runs in the fifth inning. After Rengel exited, Wausau native Ryan Zweck allowed a base hit to Martin that scored Robert Youngdahl to make it 5-3. They would inch closer with another run in the eighth off of Aaron Fossas. With runners on the corners and one out, Godinez dumped a single into right to bring home Martin and make it 5-4.
After the Woodchucks added an insurance run in the top of the ninth, Jackson Lowery would come on for the save. Lowery recorded two strikeouts and picked up his seventh career Northwoods League save to send the Woodchucks to 1-0 on the season.
The Woodchucks will be back in action Friday night at Witter Field in Wisconsin Rapids. First pitch is scheduled for 7:05 p.m.
