411 Games Fact or Fiction 02.7.13: Wii U, GTA 5, PS4, and More
Posted by
Daniel Anderson
on 02.07.2013
Is it disappointing that Grand Theft Auto 5 isn't coming out until September? Will the WII U get a price cut in 2013? Will the
movie be any good? 411's Todd Vote and Tony Baldwin debate these topics and more in this week's Fact or Fiction: Games!
Hello everyone and welcome to this week's edition of Fact or Fiction. As always, I am Daniel Anderson, and I hope everyone has had a good week. We had the Super Bowl at the start of this week, and with the exception of the power outage (which I would be willing to place money on it not happening next year at Wrestlemania 30), a good game broke out in the second half. Anyway, this week we have 411's Todd Vote going up against Tony Baldwin. Let's see what they have to say, shall we?
1.) You are starting to get excited about Injustice: Gods Among Us.
Todd Vote
What do you mean starting to? That would indicate that at one time I was not excited about the game. To be honest, I have been following it since the announcement was made last year... It's made by the team that did the fantastic reboot of the Mortal Kombat franchise, plus it is set to feature one very pissed off Superman.What is not to be excited about, honestly?
Tony Baldwin
I've actually been excited about Injustice. First of all I love comics and have actually just gotten back to heavily playing DC Universe online with the new Home Turf expansion that just hit. I also really enjoyed the last Mortal Kombat game so this coming from the same team, and playing similarly is a plus as far as I'm concerned.
Score: 1 for 1 -
I started off being fairly tentative about this game. I was curious how they could explain in a storyline why these heroes were fighting. As I hear more and more about the game and see more and more gameplay I am starting to get excited and interesting in picking this up.
2.) You agree with the WSJ that the PS4 will launch this year.
Todd Vote
I am not entirely sold on the idea of this 2/20/2013 announcement necessarily being the PS4. Sony has went on record and stated that they are going to let Microsoft make the first move. Announcing the PS4 in February, and announcing that it is coming this year is not letting Microsoft make the first move. I will admit that most signs seem to be pointing to that fact, but I'm not fully believing yet.
Tony Baldwin
We've been in this current console cycle for what seems like an eternity and while I'm in no hurry to have to start shelling out for the new systems... the writing is on the wall so to speak. Developers are strangely very hush hush about what systems certain games are being developed for when you play close attention to interviews for future projects, games like Watch Dogs and Star Wars 1313 come to mind. When you add to this equation the fact that Sony has a private press conference scheduled for later this month, speculation naturally runs rampant. I for one think if we don't see the PS4 this year, then next year is a lock.
Score: 1 for 2 -
I wonder about the PS4 being released this year. I keep thinking that Sony is going to let Microsoft announce the new Xbox before they announce the PS4. Only way we will find out is to see what happens on 2/20/2013.
3.) You were disappointed that GTA 5 was delayed until September.
Todd Vote
Yeah, of course I was. I can't wait to get my hands on the game. The sooner the better. That being said, I am okay with them taking more time to develop the game and make it the best game they can. The way they are tackling the campaign with the three protagonists is something fairly new to them, and I imagine wasn't easy to implement. I'm willing to wait, but it is definitely slightly disappointing.
Tony Baldwin
I have been waiting for this game more than any other. Hell, it will have been 5 years since GTA IV came out in just a couple of months. I've been a huge fan of the series since the days of the overhead view on the original Playstation and have played every single GTA that has been released for a home console. GTA 5 is the only game I have pre-ordered, with the game just 15 bucks from being paid off. Am I disappointed... what do you think?
Score: 2 for 3 -
I am not surprised that GTA 5 got delayed. Everything felt a little rushed to make a Spring 2013 release date. The reasoning they gave, needing a little more polish, makes me wonder if there are issues with the game. Only time will tell.
*~Twitter Break!~*
411Movies & TV
4.) The Wii U will see a price cut in 2013.
Tony Baldwin
This is going to be short and sweet. I think the Wii U will have to see a price cut to survive, especially if Sony and Microsoft are about to roll out the new systems.
Todd Vote
With all of stuff they just announced that got 90 percent of the gaming world reconsidering just how awesome the Wii U could be? Not a chance. There may be some new bundles created to add a bit more value to your purchase, but as far as a system price drop? I highly doubt it.
Score: 2 for 4 -
Unless we start to see the Wii U tank with new games, the price will stay the same. Although Tony does bring up a good point about the Wii U surviving with the new Playstation and Xbox coming out.
5.) You have hopes that the Warcraft movie will be good.
Tony Baldwin
I'm going to just come out and say that I never cared for any of the Warcraft games, honestly I hate RTS games. Now I'm going to go on to say that while I played WOW for a few months years ago, I walked away and never looked back. I really just didn't care much for the game. So when you factor my indifference to the games in with the fact that videogame based movies traditional suck, my answer is clear. I think it's safe to say the movie will be horrible, at least as far as I'm concerned.
Todd Vote
Absolutely. Anytime there is a game franchise turned into a movie, I have high hopes, and low expectations, as do a lot of gamers, I'm sure. Putting Duncan Jones in the director's chair is a step in the right direction. I haven't seen
, but thought
Source Code
was a very good flick. That being said, Warcraft is a different kind of movie altogether, so we shall see what he can do with it.
Score: 2 for 5 -
There is a lot of story in Warcraft, and it is difficult to see how everything could be jammed into one movie and things not feel like they have been left out. I am not saying it can't be done, but it would be difficult.
6.) With EA delaying Fuse, taking Medal of Honor out of commission, and posting a large Q3 loss you are starting to worry about the company.
Tony Baldwin
While THQ may not have been anywhere near the juggernaut that EA is, their demise should serve as a warning. The videogame industry is too competitive for companies to constantly roll out unimaginative rehashes and expect to just keep making the same kind of profit they always have. Maybe EA should start developing some new, creative titles and stop pushing out yearly roster updates and yawn worthy sequels. That being said they're still the king of the mountain and it's going to take a number of quarterly losses before anybody presses the panic button.
Todd Vote
Not yet. EA has enough big franchises that they will be just fine. They took a chance on Medal of Honor last year. While the game was seemingly highly praised, it apparently just didn't reach sales expectations. EA will be looking to turn that around this year. Putting a non-selling IP out of commission is one step towards that.
Score: 3 for 6 -
EA will be fine as long as more of their IP's do not start dropping in sales numbers. If we start seeing a trend, then we can start saying EA is in trouble.
Bonus Question: Feel free to talk about whatever you want.
Tony Baldwin
I touched on it earlier so let me just say that DC Universe Online is probably the best MMO out there that not enough people are playing, or talking about for that matter. The game initially suffered from a horrible launch, poor creative direction, and was hit hard by the legendary Sony Hack during its infancy. However, now over two years later, the game is going strong and is hardly recognizable when compared to what existed at launch. Also of note, is the fact that the people in charge clearly seem to know what they're doing now, and this coming from a guy who walked away from the game for about a year... add in it free and more people should give it a try. While I'm talking about online games I would also like to mention my intrigue with Defiance... it's definitely an original concept so here's hoping it turns out awesome.
Todd Vote
I know it is not gaming related, but have you checked out the new Netflix original series
House of Cards
? If not, I highly suggest that you do so. I am not normally into political dramas as far as my TV viewing, but this one is just kicking so much ass right now. Kevin Spacey is absolutely tremendous in the show, and you can tell he really dug into the role of Frank... Check it out, what have you got to lose?
That wraps up this week's edition of Fact or Fiction. Todd and Tony went 3 for 6, agreeing as much as disagreeing. I hope everyone has a good week, and until then, happy gaming.

Arkansas State Louisiana Lafayette Odds
Posted by Ryan James on
The Louisiana-Lafayette Ragin' Cajuns come into this game with a 4-2 overall record, and a 2-0 record in Sun Belt play. After opening the season with back-to-back losses they have since won four consecutive games, covering the spread in three of those four matchups. The Ragin' Cajuns currently site atop first place in the conference standings, but Arkansas State is just one game behind them so both teams are playing in what feels like a must-win situation. The Red Wolves come into this game with a 3-3 overall record, and a 1-0 record in conference play. All three of their losses have come on the road, and they own a 2-1 ATS record when playing at home.
Kick-off takes place on Tuesday, October 22nd at 8:00 PM ET. Television coverage for this Sun Belt Conference showdown is being provided by ESPN2. Oddsmakers have Louisiana-Lafayette improving to 5-2 on the season, listing them as 2.5-point favorites over the Red Wolves.
Why Louisiana-Lafayette Covers
The Ragin' Cajuns are averaging an impressive 38.5-points per game this season. Their ground attack has proved difficult to stop, gaining 223 yards per game on five yards per carry. They are definitely a run biased team, but they can also burn opponents through the air. They have completed just shy of 65% of their pass attempts for 217 passing yards per game. They face a Red Wolves secondary that has given up 246 passing yards per game, and a whopping 440 yards per game of total offense. The Red Wolves run defense has also been soft. They have allowed 5.1 yards per carry and a total of 194 rushing yards per game.
The Ragin' Cajuns are 21-8 ATS in their last 29 road games.
The Ragin Cajuns defense matches up well with Arkansas State. The Red Wolves are a very run-biased team, averaging 43 carries per game to just 34 pass attempts. Louisiana-Lafayette has been decent against the run, holding opponents to 4.5 yards per carry this season. That includes matchups against solid running teams like Kansas State and Western Kentucky. I don't think the Red Wolves are as talented as either of those opponents, so there is definitely a good chance for the Cajuns to improve on the defensive numbers against the run.
Why Arkansas State Covers
The Red Wolves offense has played great at home this year. They are averaging 50.3 points per game, a full 19 point boost over their typical scoring average of 31 points per game. That tells me this home crowd really gets behind their team. The defense has also played well at home, holding opponents to 23 points per game. It is no secret that their home games have come against soft opponents, but that does not change the fact that they are exceeding oddsmakers expectations in those games. The Red Wolves are 2-1 ATS at home, and would be 3-0 of not for a ridiculously large line in their game last week against Idaho.
The Red Wolves are 13-1 ATS in their last 16 games against conference opponents.
The Red Wolves greatest strength on defense is their secondary. They have given up a lot of yardage, but have played great passing teams like Auburn and Missouri that make them look worse statistically than they actually are. The reality is simple. Arkansas State is allowing a mere 56.2% completion rate this season. When playing at home they have limited opponents to just 2.8 yards per carry, a substantial improvement over their 5.1 yards per carry allowed overall. The Ragin' Cajuns have relied heavily on their ability to run the ball well in order to open up the passing game. With this defense playing at another level in home games, it will be difficult for Louisiana-Lafayette to match their big offensive numbers on the season this week.
My Prediction
Louisiana-Lafayette is one of the most undervalued teams in the Sun Belt conference. I don't expect home field to provide much of a boost to the Red Wolves because, after all, this is the Sun Belt conference. The better team wins, and wins big so lay the points with the Ragin' Cajuns.

Friend: 'No Chance' for Natasha Richardson
As Natasha Richardson remained in a New York hospital, her family and friends had all but given up hope that she'll recover from a severe head injury.
"There is no chance," a family friend told People on Tuesday night. "It is a fact that her heart is beating but she is brain dead."
Her dire condition - doctors described it to those close to Richardson as "leakage of blood between the brain and skull," the friend says - has the actress's family coming to grips with potentially having to make an unthinkably difficult decision. "It's not official yet," says the friend, "but they basically will detach her."
Richardson, 45, the daughter of actress Vanessa Redgrave, suffered a devastating head injury Monday while skiing on a beginner's slope outside Montreal during a trip with at least one of her two sons. Her husband, Liam Neeson, 56, raced from a Toronto movie set to be with her as she was hospitalized.
On Tuesday, a private jet brought them both to New York, where family and friends gathered for a vigil. Reps for the family have declined to comment on Richardson's medical condition.
Our thoughts are with Natasha Richardson and her family in this difficult time.
I am praying for you and your family!
I cannot stop thinking about how horrible this must be for her family. My thoughts and prayers are with them.
Coming through the standpoint of a fellow member from the fashion industry, I actually enjoy your write-up. I was born and raised in Los Angeles California and have been operating within the market for that majority of my life. One of my present projects is a discussion board for the fashion marketplace. Thanks for the useful data.

Movie Info
The feature debut of Roman Coppola (son of Oscar-winning director Francis Ford Coppola) centers around an international film crew making a low-budget, Barbarella-like feature in Paris in 1969. The film is called Dragonfly and is being directed by Andrzej (G�rard Depardieu), who wishes to make a revolutionary work rather than the tacky fluff it is becoming. He is soon fired by the film's Italian producer Enzo (Giancarlo Giannini) when he can't produce a satisfactory climactic scene. After briefly

A film that is visually compelling and highly entertaining in an in-jokey sort of way.
A stylistic romp that's always fun to watch.
Coppola and his production team have taken meticulous care to faithfully copy the costumes, production designs, peek-a-boo sexiness and budget-crunched special effects of their source material.
Coppola gives CQ a sense of style and humor that makes the navel-gazing bearable.
There's nothing much to the film besides its pretty-coolness. Fundamentally it goes nowhere and says nothing.
Funny to me, but maybe not for everyone. Hell, I don't care, you're either in the category of the type of person who will like this or you're not. The choice is yours, but anyone pre-disposed to like this type of film will be happy they took the trip.
The movie plays out like a over-budget student film that lacks any of the competence and patience of an experienced director.
CQ will likely appeal to a younger crowd, who may not catch all the cinematic references but will love the mishmash nature of this cinematic stew.
Love alone does not make a film watchable, no matter how much of it there is. Davies and company are up to the task, but the material is weak. Coppola has a lot of ideas; he just needs to find a more coherent, entertaining way of expressing them.
...the sum of the parts equals largely a confused mediocrity.
Mildly amusing but ultimately a sloppy, forgettable enterprise.
It may not be art, but it's vastly more entertaining than anything Coppola senior has done in far too long.
Pull[s] off the rare trick of recreating not only the look of a certain era, but also the feel.
'CQ may one day be fondly remembered as Roman Coppola's brief pretentious period before going on to other films that actually tell a story worth caring about
Audience Reviews for CQ
A young filmmaker in 1960s Paris juggles directing a cheesy sci-fi debacle, directing his own personal art film, coping with his crumbling relationship with his girlfriend, and a new-found infatuation with the sci-fi film's starlet.
Filmmaker Roman Coppola proves to be a chip off the old block (his dad is Francis Ford, duh!) with this sweetly dark comic valentine to foreign films of France and Italy focusing on a struggling film editor/auteur wannabe (Davies in all his squirmy, milquetoasty glory) assigned to a disastrous sci-fi B flick where he winds up being a replacement director and falls deeply in love with his gorgeous starlet (Lindvall, the epitome of sex echoing the leonine good looks of Catherine Deneuve at her start) in the process. Coppola has a keen technical sense incorporating set and production design, costumes, camerawork, editing and low-key acting to make a picture perfect ode to the hurly-burly world of filmmaking then and now. If there is a criticism it is that it is a bit slight in its theme (filmmaker's navel gazing fails to see the big picture: love is all around) yet there's a nice homage to Coppola's relationship with his famous father in the interplay between Davies and his onscreen father Stockwell, an absent-minded businessman, echoing nicely. The title is a play on Seek You = CQ.
Super Reviewer
It is also a look at the inner workings of the film industry and the struggle of one editor turned director, to create a career making film while not allowing his obsession with that films star (Dragonfly) ruin his relationship with his (Real Life) girlfriend who also happens to be the star of HIS own side project which is based on his personal life.
While the story is a bit convoluted at times...there is enough here (especially visually) to keep fans of film interested (especially fans of Sci-Fi and/or Italian cinema).
And (call me crazy) but I would REALLY like to see the finished Sci-Fi film: "Codename Dragonfly" (think Barbarella meets Austin Powers) in it's entirety. Perhaps as an 'extra' on the DVD?

AWeber Email Marketing Tips
5 Places to Build Your Blog's Email List
This is a guest post by Gregory Ciotti, an AWeber user who blogs about WordPress marketing at Sparring Mind.
The simple truth when it comes to collecting more email subscribers for your AWeber email campaign is this: Add more web forms to give people more chances to join your list.
But over-used and badly placed web forms can leave your readers feeling bombarded and annoyed, while ruining your site's layout and crowding out your content.
There are, however, a few spots on your blog that readers will be primed to opt-in. These locations are great because they are inviting to readers and stand out, but aren't intrusive to their enjoyment of your content.
So where are they?
From my experience and through numerous split-testing experiments, I've identified what I believe to be the 5 best places to put your web forms.
You don't necessarily need to use all 5 at once. Decide for yourself how many feels right and what is best for your readers, using the feedback that you get from them.
Readers are generally most ready to submit their email address in these locations, so take a look below and see if you can implement your AWeber opt-ins in these spots on your blog.
Above The Fold Feature Box
This may seem to be a bit confusing, but hear me out.
The feature box is a large box above the fold near the header of your website.
You can see one featured on my site, Sparring Mind, or on Derek Halpern's site SocialTriggers, as he is one of the bloggers who first suggested the feature box strategy.
Generally speaking, your feature box should be right below your logo and should include a title and a brief description (think 3-4 bullet points) of what your blog is and why a reader would benefit from getting your updates.
DIYThemes (makers of the Thesis Theme for WordPress) implemented this and saw subscription rates go through the roof. This is something that people will definitely notice, yet it is not annoying like some other methods to grab potential subscribers' attention.
The Classic: Top Of The Sidebar
You've definitely seen this one before as it is used on most blogs, including the one you're reading right now.
You might think people would be blind to this location, but it simply isn't true. People have a tendency to opt-in at a higher rate on sidebar web forms — as long as they are at the top of the sidebar.
This is most likely due to familiarity: They've seen these opt-ins before, and aren't as hesitant to put in their email address if they see your form in this comfortably familiar location.
Make sure that your form stands out, but in a good way!
It helps to use a color that contrasts with your site's background. You can use AWeber's web form generator to do this or use these forms created by graphic designer Alex, built specifically for AWeber.
At The End Of Each Post
This is the most underrated location in my opinion.
Say someone reads your 1000+ word post, each and every line.
I'd say that they really enjoyed your writing if they are willing stick around that long, to the very bottom of the post.
So why not politely ask them if they'd like to get updates?
The point is, a reader who is inclined to finish your whole post is generally very engaged in your content and primed to get updates when you post again. So make it easy for them and include an web form at the end of each post.
Your "About Me" Page
This location works for the same reason as the last one. If a reader is going to read all about you and you make your "About Me" page a really compelling and interesting one, then they certainly might opt-in.
Other "resource" pages are also great for a web form.
Think "Start Here" pages, or pages where you list all of a certain type of post, or long resource pages that were too important for a blog post so you made them a page.
Generally speaking, any links on your homepage are going to get clicked a lot in comparison to other parts on your site, so make them count with an AWeber web form and you'll find your list growing faster in no time.
A Dedicated Subscription Page
You might think that having a feature box and a sidebar opt-in would be enough, but then you'd be greatly underestimating the value of a dedicated subscription page.
While offering a "freebie" for your opt-ins using an AWeber autoresponder is great for any form, it works especially well on subscription landing pages that promise a free e-Book or other gift in return for the visitor's email.
This page is also going to specifically highlight the benefits of opting in and since it's a separate page, it can include a lengthy description rather than short bits of information to truly convince people who may me holding out.
It is wise to link to this page from your homepage and really sit down to explain why a visitor will benefit from your newsletter, making sure you put the emphasis on what they will be getting from you that they simply cannot find elsewhere.

It seems like a lot of people are just asking for e-mail address now, not name and e-mail address.
Has this increased conversions?12/16/2011 10:45 am
Thanks for these tips and reminders. I've some of the locations but one I've not tried is the 'About Me' page – meant to but never did get it on my 'to-do' list!
I've had the most success with having a dedicated, separate page and then driving targeted traffic to it not only from my own website, but through partner sites and advertising.
Great post12/16/2011 5:16 pm
@Tim – For me, it certainly has.
The obvious downsides to this of course is that having a name in the "To" field seems to improve open rates.
It's too bad we can't have the best of both worlds, but this is what I've seen (and heard from others) pretty consistently.12/17/2011 10:11 am
Above the fold is a very important concept , even in case of squeeze pages.12/19/2011 9:09 am
Thanks Gregory, I will try this!
I don't do a lot of "Firstname", type stuff anyway in my e-mails anyway, so this would not be a big loss.
I started an "About" page myself after reading this article12/19/2011 10:21 am
Great post..I just curious of whether having an optin form on the bottom of every post would be overkill. Also does Aweber offer custom bottom of post forms that are wider in length like a 468×60 banner?12/20/2011 2:45 pm
Great Post ! thanks for the tips.12/20/2011 7:29 pm
@Marc: From what I've seen, it's one of the best spots on your blog and it is most certainly not overkill.
Here's why – if people are going to read the entirety of your article, they are obviously really engaged with your content, and that is the best time to ask them to subscribe!
Also, it lets you avoid the use of things like pop-ups (*shudder*) and not interfere with the reading experience.
@Andy: Thanks bud, glad you enjoyed the post!
@Angela: I 100% agree, I also like to use dedicated subscription pages on my sites, especially for guest posts (I link to those landing pages rather than the homepage)12/21/2011 10:14 am
Really great spots to have your email list. I know that with my new blog I'm created I purchased a theme that has the feature box right above the fold and excited to see how well it converts. One thing that I know I was thinking is that having a feature box and also a email opt-in with the sidebar might be a bit to much with opt-in boxes on the home page.12/21/2011 6:30 pm
One other thing I just did this week is to add at the bottom of each e-mail a line to encourage referrals that says:

Charleston police said an active-duty member of the U.S. Air Force was driving on Virginia Street when he collided with another car on Leon Sullivan Way.
Police said the man was messing with his GPS before the collision, causing him to run through a stoplight.
A woman in the other vehicle was sent to hospital with non-life threatening injuries, according to officers.
The active-duty member was driving to Fayetteville, N.C., from Las Vegas, in the process of transferring military bases.

Sundays On Telegraph start slow, but show potential
After low turnouts at the first three Sundays on Telegraph events, organizers hope that better weather and increased awareness will draw bigger crowds in the coming weeks.
"It's a work in progress," said Janet Klein, who serves as coordinator and liaison between the Telegraph Business Improvement District and the office of Mayor Tom Bates.
Sundays on Telegraph, or SoTelegraph, is a new weekly street fair that closes off two blocks of Telegraph Avenue, from Durant Avenue to Haste Street. The original plan was that from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. every Sunday from June 9 through September 27, music, activities and weekend strollers would be free to take over the neighborhood. It is an attempt by the City of Berkeley to revamp the area as a cultural destination — one of many ideas that have been proposed over the years — particularly during the time of year when most UC Berkeley students have left town.
But the program did not have a particularly inspired start. … Continue reading »

What's going on with our new dog's health?
February 27, 2012
What is this injury in our new dog's ear?
Our new dog,
came from a local shelter. He had been there almost 4 months. He has a strange little injury in one of his ears. We noticed it about two weeks ago shortly after we adopted him. We took him to the vet and she said his ears were not infected, very clean and that aside from being too skinny he is very healthy.
He was having diarrhea before the vet and after some tests she said he had bacteria overgrowth and put him on a bland diet (chicken and rice we cooked for him) and antibiotics. His poop got better BUT the thing in his ear seems maybe less red than before but it hasn't gone away. After finishing his antibiotics and going on normal food he's back to having diarrhea again too. He is eating, drinking and not throwing up, has lots of energy, just having loose stools.
Are these things related? What is this thing in his ear? We've gone back to the bland diet but do we need to go back to the vet?

There isn't anything more troubling than wounds and illnesses in a pup (or kitty, or bird, or snake)... especially when the pkbors is fairly new.
I am not a vet...but, I would suggest the following... give the poops a few days (if food and water intake seems normal and there are no other signs of the pup not feeling well). As for the ear wound, I would rub some Neosporin on it for a week or so and see if it heals....

It looks like a mole-type thing my childhood dog had once. The vet didn't call it a mole, though. Some sort of growth? Anyway, my parents had it removed and my pup didn't suffer any ill effects from the surgery.
The vet saw it and didn't seem concerned? There's nothing wrong with getting a second opinion if you're worried about it, or asking your vet to take another look at it.

I am of three minds:
---- It could be the home of a ginormous mite.
---- It could be a blood blister or a minor fat deposit.
---- It could be a wart or a mole.
Did your vet lance it or anything? How come it's bleeding? Have you tried putting a match to it to see if it's home to a weird tick?
BTW, if you google Dog Ear Parasites, you find a plethora of nightmare inducing photos. Thank god your doggie is amazingly cute, because I am definitely scarred for life.

Did your vet even tell you to clean the ear, or put some neosporin on it? It's definitely weird, and could be a growth, but it also kind of looks like maybe a spider or nasty ant bite. I'd put neosporin on it for a couple of days, checking it each day to see if it's getting better, worse, or not doing anything.
For the poop, get some plain 4% or whole yogurt and canned pumpkin (not pie filling - 100% pumpkin). With his food, give him one blop of each and mix it in. (Blop: soup spoon, maybe on the overfull size if he's big, I can't tell scale very well from that photo) The pumpkin is for fiber, the yogurt is to help restore his intestinal flora. You should see poop improvement after a couple of meals, but I'd keep it up for 5 days and decide from there whether to keep going.

So shelter dogs frequently end up with some form of Mange (which is a small mite) it could be a bite from that. Puppy's also sometimes get bumps in their ears called "Histiocytoma" which is a benign growth.
As an SF Giants season ticket holder I could also say you've misnamed him but I don't think that causes ear growths ;-)
I will say this, IANAV (just a long time dog owner) and I know dogs do get a lot of strange growths many of which are meaningless. This could be an infection causing his digestive issues, but I think those might be more related to diet issues or a separate ailment (he could just be adjusting to new food some dogs are more sensitive then others).

With regards to the loose poop, I just went through this with my 12-year-old lab. She had a bad allergic reaction to a grain-free food that I was ironically switching her to because of her allergies. After fasting her for two days (which usually rests the digestive track enough to get her settled) and reintroducing her to her former food, she still had loose stool. The vet prescribed the same thing you did for your dog -- bland diet and antibiotics. She was fine on the antibiotics, but when I tried to get her off the bland diet and back on kibble, the diarrhea came back. I talked to my vet and he said it was likely that the weeks of inflammatory bowel disease caused her intestinal flora to get out of whack. He prescribed probiotics and bland diet (again). I recently started mixing her bland diet with a prescription low-fat gastrointestinal food from the vet and made the full switch to the gastro food a few days ago and so far, so good. (When I tried getting her on the gastro before -- which is supposed to be easy on their tummies -- the diarrhea flared up.)
All this is to say that it might be a bacterial imbalance. Ask your vet about a probiotic for your dog. I didn't even have to take her in for a second appointment; since the vet had already seen her and the dog tested negative for parasites, I just had to drop by and pick up the prescription.
As for the ear, does your dog scratch her ears a lot or shake her head with a considerable amount of force? My dog does that at times when her ears are bothering her (allergies) and she sometimes gets a little sore or cut near the base of her ear that looks an awful lot like your pictures. They take forever to heal because every time she scratches or shakes her head, the wound re-opens. Polysporin usually helps.

Ask the vet about previous injuries - it could be a scar. Our lab got an infection inside the skin of her ear once, and after cleaning it out the vet sewed it in such a way that the skin wouldn't totally close back up. I can't remember all the details of why, but that reminds me of how hers looks.

My dog is prone to
Hemorrhagic gastroenteritis
, not saying your dog is in anyway, but it has meant that my dog is very sensitive to packaged foods and stress and so I have become obsessed with watching my dogs poop as he can die if he gets diarrhea (almost has twice and cost us $1000 in vet bills). The only thing I have found to help him was to put him on a very bland chicken, rice and veg diet for life. In your case I would put your dog on the bland diet until his stomach settles then you can then slowly reintroduce the dogs regular food by mixing it with the chicken & rice mixture and slowly increasing the regular food ratio. A lot of dogs get tummy upsets from changes in food and in life in general and these can take a few months to settle down.
Tinned pumpkin is an amazingly affective treatment for diarrhea in dogs, you want plain tinned pumpkin with no pie spices or anything in but plain pumpkin and feed it to your dog. I mix it with the chicken and rice, but if you want to try it first just mix it with his normal food. I was told there is a hormone in it that makes the dogs digestive tract work better, I don't know if that is true but it sure helps with diarrhea, feed it morning and night for a couple of days, it is my stand by when my little guy has an attack coming on. If you can't find tinned boil or steam some fresh and mash it for the same effect.

OK we are keeping bland diet and adding in pumpkin and yogurt which I had never heard of doing before but is an awesome idea.
As far as the ear goes I cleaned it really well, added some antibiotic ointment and am keeping an eye on it. The vet did say his paw pads were red and seemed itchy and that maybe he had allergies. He DOES shake and scratch his ears a lot so I am starting to suspect this is a small annoyance that he keeps scratching. We are keeping a close eye on it.

With regard to the loose stool: when we adopted our dog Agatha back in July she had some issues in that department, that was, at least, until we had fully transitioned her to the dog food that we had our other dog Watson on, which is grain-free. I also had a friend that recently adopted a dog and had the same problem, until I recommended that she try switching her to grain-free, and she hasn't had any problems since with regard to that issue. I don't know what you are currently feeding him as far as with dog food, but if it isn't grain-free I would definitely recommend going in that direction. We feed ours Taste of the Wild, which isn't much more than something like Iams, and they love it! The only problem is that you can't just pick it up at some place like Petco or Wal-mart with your other groceries. Not only is it better for their overall health, their allergies and life expectancy, you get a couple of other awesome benefits like firm poops, and less poops overall. I realize that I sound like an informercial right now, but its worked out great for us and our friends. Our dogs are healthier in general, have nice shiny coats, have gained weight and we don't have any awful to clean up messes in the house. If its still an issue, mixing in the pumpkin puree that has been recommended and some plain yogurt will help out with the digestive tract and is easy on the stomach.
I am also kind of surprised that the vet didn't recommend the Hill's Prescription Diet i/d canned food, its good for their intestinal and digestive health as well. We've been mixing that with our Agatha's food after a couple of weeks of her throwing up off and on that had me worried, its been a couple of months on that and we haven't had any additional problems there either.
My guess would be that the ear thing is unrelated, and if it were infected I would think that the round of antibiotics would have taken care of any possible infection, unless the antibiotics weren't strong enough or the therapy was not long enough. Does it seem to be releasing any puss or fluids at all? Or is it warm or hot to the touch compared other skin in that area? Does it seem to be painful for him at all? If all of those things were no I would guess it is probably not an infection, however that doesn't mean its totally in the clear. What I would do, since you have already had a visit for that issue, is call the vet and explain that it hasn't gone away and see if they can give you any possibilities for what it may be and if its something you should be worried about. They also may want to see him again, and if that is the case, unless you wholeheartedly trust your vet, I may just take him to another vet for a second opinion.
Hope I've been even slightly helpful, and hope little Dogder feels better soon!

If he's itching at it, it won't heal correctly. Try having him wear a cone/e-collar for a few days and see if it improves. I like the
comfy cone
Also, seconding pumpkin. That stuff works miracles for a loose-stooled pup.

The canned pumpkin+yogurt+rice+chicken worked wonderfully. However, every time we tried to put him back on dog food he would start having diarrhea again AND the thing in his ear would not heal due to scratching.
Turns out our dog has a gluten intolerance! A switch to grain free food and cleaning the ear as mentioned made him unitchy enough to leave it be until it healed.
He poops like a champ now as long as we keep wheat, barley and oatmeal away from him.
Thanks Metafilter!

The Sun
Check out my new poem. I started this as a 15-minute exercise with my new writing group, on the word "Sun." Then I went home and edited it up a bit. Enjoy!
The Sun
O, God! O, Glory! O, Holy Emperor!
O, King of Kings! O, Mighty Creator!
You, who pull grain from the earth's soft skin,
You, who sprout green from rock and field,
You, who bathe us in fear as you hide after dusk,
You, who soak in our praise as you rise with the dawn.
Without you, I am dark and I am dead.
With you, a million cataclysmic equations, reactions, additions, and fractions spring about like excited electrons bursting from atoms and nuclei through the vast, blank space, just as you glide throughout your own father, the universe.
I breathe in all of your invisible nourishment;
The air created from your loin to share with those who
feel and touch and live.
O, God! O, Glory! O, Holy Emperor!
O, King of Kings! O, Mighty Creator!
You, who banish the dark with your sword of light.
You, who move all the mountains without hiccup or wink.
You, who cry blinding tears to rejuvenate those who serve you.
You, who accept our prayers and our wars and our love and our struggle.
Without you, there is pain and there is hate.
With you, there is pain and there is hate. Violent, despicable war over you and for you, below you and with you. We fight together; hand in hand during the day and behind great, blackened shields by nightfall.
You are everything at all hours;
You strip vast nothingness of his
Clothes and jealousy and rage.
O, Mighty God! O, Brave Warrior!
O, Wise King! O, Gentle Tyrant!
General to the great army below.
Captain to the phalanx of planets.
Commander to the formation of comets,
whirling about like a weightless typhoon!
Chaos swims around you in a hurricane whirlwind.
You are the eye. You are the calm.
You are the soul of wonder and
You are the
Pause in the most powerful process of existence.
O, Mighty Emperor, without you I am dust.
O, King of Kings, I shall serve you until death.

Horace Warfield was a Terran Dominion military officer and was commander-in-chief of the Dominion Armed Forces during the Second Great War.
Horace Warfield was born in Kithrup, Tarsonis. The youngest child of Shae and Henry Warfield, he may have been abused by his parents. His elder brother and sister followed their parents' footsteps into medical professions, while he enlisted in the Confederate Marine Corps. Some theorize that his choice of career may have been influenced by his exposure to life and death as per a hospital environment.[2]
Confederate MarineEdit
Warfield rose through the ranks of the Confederate military with surprising speed, earning commendations from his superiors for valor, tactical brilliance, and decisive leadership in his squad.
He first saw combat on Sonyan early in the Guild Wars. There he met Captain Arcturus Mengsk, commander of a 33rd Ground Assault Division company; both recognized the other's superlative qualities. Warfield distinguished himself during a closely-fought battle in the South Kreen Mines; he led a charge into an enemy bunker and took three bullets in the shoulder as he cleared a vital position. Warfield was quickly made first lieutenant under Mengsk, and the two became friends.[2]
Warfield was eventually promoted to lieutenant colonel as the war drew to a close, having done two tours of service. Mengsk left the Confederate military, but both men stayed in contact.[2]
After the war, Warfield became disenchanted as he carried out Confederate "peacekeeping" duties. He was commanding the battlecruiser Iron Justice when the destruction of Korhal occurred; Warfield immediately deserted and took the ship and its loyal handpicked crew with him. He evaded Confederate justice, pursued through the Sara System and beyond. Within months of Korhal's destruction, Warfield established contact with the newly formed Sons of Korhal, led by his old comrade, Mengsk. Warfield's intimate knowledge of the Confederacy's military strength, position, and movements was invaluable to the success of the rebellion.[2] However, Warfield was never officially a member of the SoK.[3]
During the Great War, it is rumored that Warfield's assistance may have led to rebel recovery of the psi-emitter on Mar Sara, and their use on Tarsonis. Warfield's family went missing and were presumed killed during the Fall of Tarsonis.[2]
Dominion GeneralEdit
As the newly formed Terran Dominion took hold over the Koprulu Sector, Warfield, now a general in the Dominion Armed Forces, was seen as one of the more trusted advisors to the new emperor. Mengsk trusted Warfield with his most crucial tasks, strategies, and missions. At some point he fought in an action for which he was later hailed as the "Hero of Torus".[3]
During the Brood War, shortly before his death, General Edmund Duke referred to Warfield as "the emperor's other brat," insinuating that Warfield was not in Augustgrad when the zerg betrayed the Dominion after the city's reclamation from the UED.[2]
After a disastrous stint as head of Project Shadowblade,[4] Warfield retired in 2501, having established himself in military history through his role in historic engagements.[2]

The zerg invasion of the Dominion in 2504 prompted Mengsk to reactivate Warfield. The general was placed in command of the Dominion Armed Forces and immediately sent to execute Operation Burnout to clear the Sara System.[3]
When the main zerg push into Dominion space slowed, Warfield was credited with a successful zerg strategy.[5]
This article or section contains information from the optional Rebellion Missions in StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty.
Before the Odin was unveiled in Korhal City, Warfield was interviewed by Donny Vermillion. He admitted to Kate Lockwell that the Odin was delayed in shipping and that they had briefly lost communication with the production facility.[6]
When the Odin attacked Dominion troops, Warfield ordered who he thought was a rogue pilot to stand down or face immediate termination. Detecting a security breach at the UNN Studios, Warfield sent strike teams Alpha, Bravo and Charlie after Raynor's Raiders in an unsuccessful attempt to stop them.[7]
Battle of CharEdit
Crown Prince Valerian Mengsk requisitioned Warfield and half the Dominion Fleet for a strike on Char.[8] Valerian was assembling a xel'naga device that he hoped would deinfest Kerrigan. The fleet rendezvoused with Raynor's Raiders and struck an alliance with the rebels, who had been unwittingly collecting artifact pieces for the prince.[9] By this stage Warfield had led five separate invasions against the zerg and was less than impressed with the Raiders and what he considered their self-serving motives.[8] The general disregarded Raynor's advice and launched a frontal assault. The terrans suffered heavy casualties and were nearly repulsed. The general transferred to the battlecruiser Helios, which was badly damaged in the subsequent fighting and crash landed on the surface. Raynor's Raiders were fighting nearby to establish a foothold and after hearing Warfield's claim that his ship had taken terrible terrible damage, the Raiders rushed to relieve the embattled crew.[10] The rebels arrived just as the zerg began overrunning Warfield's position. The general was trapped in a trench and, after witnessing several of his troops get massacred, was attacked by two hydralisks. Although his right arm was impaled by spines, he managed to punch out one attacker with his other arm, but was left in a disadvantageous grapple with the other. Jim Raynor and Tychus Findlay personally aided Warfield while a flight of Banshees destroyed the next wave of zerglings. Warfield was grateful and promised not to forget that Raynor had saved him and his troops.[11]
Warfield's armor was repaired but his arm remained poisoned from the spines. The general was in no condition to resume command and gladly appointed Raynor to replace him.[12] He advised Raynor to cripple enemy air forces prior to attacking the primary hive. The general developed a warm rapport with the rebel, and recognized Raynor's operational and tactical acumen.[13] Warfield's right arm was amputated and replaced with a cybernetic arm. The arm converted between a hand and a cannon. The general then delivered the assembled artifact to Raynor and marveled at what Raynor managed to achieve on Char.[14]
Final CampaignEdit
When Prince Valerian Mengsk and Jim Raynor fled Char with Kerrigan to prevent her capture by Emperor Arcturus Mengsk[15], Warfield remained behind to purge Char of the remaining zerg.[16] The zerg, led by broodmother Zagara, were soundly defeated attempting to dislodge Warfield from his fortifications on the Dauntless Plateau.[17]
Warfield's position unravelled when Kerrigan returned to retake Char for the Swarm, and the zerg stormed the terrans' fortifications.[17][18] The general was severely wounded when metal beams penetrated his armor and lodged in his torso. With the situation hopeless, he ordered the evacuation of wounded on three shuttles, but waved off rescue for himself. The shuttles were surrounded and it was unlikely they could escape. Kerrigan found the general alone in the tactical operations center, attempting to pull out the beams.[19]
Warfield demanded Kerrigan let the shuttles leave. He accused her of betraying humanity and causing uncounted deaths for petty revenge. As he aimed his cybernetic arm cannon at her, Warfield implied Raynor would be disgusted with her if he was present. Evoking Raynor's name angered Kerrigan, and she killed him by driving the beams deeper. Nonetheless, she let the shuttles escape.[19]
Game UnitEdit
StarCraft IIEdit
In Wings of Liberty, Warfield makes no appearance as a hero unit per se, though the Helios makes an in-mission appearance.[10]
Heroes of the StormEdit
The following section contains information from Heroes of the Storm and is not canon to StarCraft continuity
Warfield appears in Heroes of the Storm, commanding a siege tank.[20] His siege tank has low-damage area of effect attacks and mines for killing minions.[21]
- Warfield's portrait is available on battle.net for players who complete the Liberty Completionist achievement.
- Warfield appears to be left handed, as he has been seen firing his weapon this way.[11]
This article or section contains information about StarCraft: Ghost, which has been declared non-canon. Elements may be taken as 'flavor lore' however.
- Warfield's first (conceptual) appearance was in StarCraft: Ghost, though his video portrait looked like an image for Jackson Hauler.[22][23] In the game's storyline, Warfield was an advisor to Mengsk and was in charge of Project Shadow Blade, a program to convert ghosts into spectres using the dangerous gas, terrazine. However, the spectres would "serve their true master", which was not necessarily Warfield or Emperor Mengsk.[24] He guided the protagonist Nova through at least a few missions.[22] Wings of Liberty material however significantly altered Warfield's appearance.[2]

Jumbo-CelsiDot® Excess Temperature Alarm Label, easily visible from remote locations
Recently some key associations responsible for safety issues do request that process- and safety relevant drive and control components like electric motors, transmissions gears and other parts used in chemical-, energy-, but also food-processing industries are monitored on excess temperatures. Upon detected exceeded temperature levels certain preventive maintenance steps must be initiated.
An especially economic, reliable, easily applied and dependable method is presented by the new, large faced, remote viewable Jumbo-CelsiDot® temperature recording labels. For example the CelsiDot® 93°C applied on the electric motor on the left side of the image has permanently turned from white to black, a sure sign that this location had exceeded in the past the labels 93°C temperature trigger level. An identical Celsi®label applied to the gear case to the right is still white, an undisputed sign that there the temperature history never has reached or even passed the 93°C level.
These Jumbo-Celsi® labels are available in 40 different levels within the range from +40 °C and all the way up to +260 °C. Labels are available in folders of 24 labels or on reels each 1200 such labels. The Celsi®-Labels can be ordered at e-shop www.spirig.com

Honestly, it's so nauseating at the PRICE of birth control.
I don't currently have insurance, I'm 19 years old, and I already have a 2 year old son, so having any more kid's is as the bottom of my to-do list right now. I'm not sure why, but the added hormones from pills & nuvaring are absolutely terrible for me. They make me really emotional, and almost bipolar, so I decided on paraguard. It's the only hormone-free birth control on the market, and it lasts for 12 years, what could be better? So I made my way to my gyno & we discussed it, until she told me it would be $1,000. I'm in a completely monogamous relationship with the father of my son, & we don't like using condoms, so our next alternative is me going on birth control, but I can't even afford it,& a majority of insurances don't even cover it. Sure, there are so many forms of contraception, but I've seriously tried them all, including pills that were consider "low-dose". I'm physically limited to the birth control I can take, but there's still no way I'm able to be put on it. I think it would make sense for insurances to cover ALL forms of birth control, since ya know, it'd be a hell of a lot cheaper than women having 12 kid's, and more wellfare checks being handed out.

I know way too many teens in my community who wouldn't know where to go for birth control if they couldn't go to planned parenthood because they feel like telling their parents is not an option- in other words- I know way too many teens who wouldn't be on birth control at all without planned parenthood. Taking that resource away is a terrifying and TERRIBLE idea. So fuck yeah planned parenthood.

Tennyson's In Memoriam -
Tennyson's In Memoriam In Memoriam is an elegy to Tennyson's friend Arthur Hallam, but bears the hallmark of its mid nineteenth century context, 'the locus classicus of the science-and-religion debate.'Upon reflection, Hallam's tragic death has proved to be an event that provoked Tennyson's embarkation upon a much more ambitious poetic project than conventional Miltonian elegy, involving meditation upon the profoundest questions faced by mankind. Scientific advancements, most notably in the fields of geology and biology, challenged the beliefs that form the foundation of Christianity: the belief in a beneficent God responsible for creation and ensuing superintendence and the belief in man's immortal soul....

... The speaker feels like a child who cannot change his physical body and the speaker fears he cannot do anything about his spiritual body either. The speaker has gone from believing in God in eve though there is scientific knowledge to prove him wrong, to acknowledging he only has faith because he has no other options. In section 55, the speaker is confused about the wonders of Nature and appalled by how Nature works. His trust in God has completely weakened.

Replacement of the Book with Computers -
The Book Is Dead. Long Live the Book. The book, so post-structuralists critics have long been assuring us, just isn't what it used to be—or, to be more accurate, what we used to think it was. It's no longer a discrete entity, a little world unto itself wedged between two covers, a piece of discourse that speaks to us with a unified voice, the work of an individual author. Instead, as critical discourse by the likes of Barthes (1979) and Derrida (1974) have informed us, the contents of one book or article are inextricably linked to dozens, even hundreds or thousands, of others, and its contents, in turn, are absorbed by other texts....

There were two sons: Hallam and Lionel. The times of wandering and unsettlement ended in 1853, when the Tennysons took a house, Farringford, in the Isle of Wight. Tennyson was to spend most of the rest of his life there and at Aldworth" (Encyclopedia Britannica Online School Edition, 3). He continued to write and published several other poems such as Maud and Crossing the Bar, a poem he wrote while on a ferry ride back to his home after recuperating from a serious illness and which shows, as with many of his other works, that setting, particularly the sea is a predominant symbol throughout his life (Myslinski, 2)....

Sir Alfred Tennyson: Expression Through Poetry -
Alfred Tennyson was born in 1809, the fourth son of the Reverend George Clayton Tennyson, in Lincolnshire, England. His early childhood was a combination of cooperating with numerous siblings, engaging in a rigorous classical education forced upon him by his father, and an increasing fear of his father's drunken violence and paranoid resentment at the children and wife. Tennyson's fear of inherited madness, what he called "the black blood of the Tennysons", and his grief for his friend Aurther Hallam, would be with him for much of his life and provide a basis on which he expressed his feelings in poems....

Influences and Sources of Theodore Roethke's Elegy for Jane -
Influences and Sources of Theodore Roethke's Elegy for Jane In "In Memoriam A. H. H.," a new kind of elegy with roots in the elegiac tradition, Tennyson writes, "For words, like Nature, half reveal/And half conceal the Soul within" (1045). The truth of Tennyson's statement appears in Theodore Roethke's "Elegy for Jane: My Student Killed by a Horse." Roethke conceals much about himself as a person yet reveals much about himself as a poet when he puts his grief into words. Without knowing something of Roethke's personal and professional life, one would think that a student named Jane was the sole inspiration for this moving elegy; however, in The Glass House, the poet's biographer, Allan Seager, reveals more than one possible source of inspiration for the poem....

Elegy by Thomas Gray -
Elegy Written in a Country Chrchyard Thomas Gray's Elegy laments the death of life in general while mourning long gone ancestors and exhibiting the transition made by the speaker, from grief and mourning to acceptance and hope. It was written in 1742 and revised to its published form in 1746, and is one of the three highlights of the elegiac form in English literature, the others being Milton's "Lycidas" and Tennyson's In Memoriam. It was first published, anonymously, in 1751, under the title "An Elegy wrote in a Country Churchyard." Although believed to be started in 1742 the exact date of composition of the Elegy, apart from the concluding stanzas, cannot be exactly determined.... [tags: essays papers]

|Victorian Age - Victorian Age Not all 19th-century writers were attracted to the novel.
