The 2012 edition of the New York Comic Con returns to Jacob Javits Center on October 11 - 14, featuring four days of sci-fi, your favorite fantasy/action heroes, and costumes, costumes and more costumes. In addition, the 2012 edition will feature its share of big name appearances as well, including the cast of The Walking Dead, members of Robot Chicken and Children's Hospital, Elmo & Gordon from Sesame Street, Draco Malfoy (not kidding) and many others. In addition, you can kick-off the festivities with a concert featuring Ben Folds Five at the IGN Theater on 10/11, as discussed. Tickets for the Comic-Con are on sale.
In semi-related news, gamers know that when you play a video game enough, those songs stay with you until you find yourself humming them when you are far far away from your controller. If you know what I am talking about, this one is dedicated to you:
Featuring dynamic and compelling video accompanied by a live symphony orchestra, The Legend of Zelda™: Symphony of the Goddesses brings the world's most popular video game series to life! Enjoy original music spanning 25 years of adventure from the celebrated Zelda franchise, uniting music and visuals in a way never before realized. Experience the magic at The Theater at Madison Square Garden on Wednesday, November 28.That's right. Legend of Zelda. IN THE FLESH. Get stoked... tickets are still available.
The Legend of Zelda™: Symphony of the Goddesses is the first ever video game themed concert to feature a complete 4-movement symphony, showcasing the work of Nintendo composer and sound director Koji Kondo.
And finally, if you're heading to Comic-Con, look for possible tributes to Sean Smith, known as Vile Rat, who was tragically killed in the attack on the Libyan Consulate this week. So sad.

Standing in the ladies room at the Javits Center, Caity Main carefully applied her makeup before turning to a friend for advice.Many more pictures from this weekend's Comic Con, below...
"Do my eye bags look dark enough?" wondered the 23-year-old from Amherst, Mass.
Main, along with thousands of other hard-core fans in full comic book costume, packed the West Side convention center for the annual New York Comic Con.
Main and pal Liz Itaaliander took the train down from Massachusetts, bringing costumes for their characters from "Homestuck" - a comic where the characters are based on Zodiac signs.
But the dynamic duo only decided to dress up as Cancer and Virgo at the last minute.
"I'm not usually one to wear costumes in public," said Itaaliander, 23, sporting gray and green makeup with her high heels. "But when we were coming from Secaucus, we saw people on the train in costume."
The highly anticipated three-day show was sold out Saturday and Sunday. Last year's show drew nearly 100,000 people, and this year's was expected to do about the same. [NY Daily News]
Tom Morello playing Occupy Wall St today, Comic Con & Anime Fest begin today too (Carrie Brownstein will even be there)
Tom Morello @ Newport Folk Fest 2009 (more by Jim Brueckner)
Rage Against the Machine guitarist Tom Morello has announced plans to perform at the Occupy Wall Street protest at noon [today] in Manhattan. Morello, who has previously performed at the Occupy Los Angeles rally, will play a solo set as the Nightwatchman.Today (10/13) is also the first day of NY Comic Con & Anime Fest over at the Javits Center. Tom Morello performs in the convention center tonight with Z-Trip as part of the con's kickoff concert.
"The Nightwatchman will Occupy Wall Street [today] at noon, adding one more voice to the growing chorus of millions demanding economic justice at home and around the globe," Morello tells Rolling Stone. "And I'll be playing some songs. Likely in the rain."
Morello will be the third major act to perform at the protest. Neutral Milk Hotel's Jeff Mangum and rapper Talib Kweli have recently played impromptu sets at the protest site. Earlier this week, Kanye West visited the scene, but did not perform. [Rolling Stone]
We get why the Rage Against the Machine guitarist would show up at Occupy Wall St, but why Comic Con? Well, Comixcorner.com says:
Tom Morello's graphic novel Orchid, which tells the tale of a 16-year-old street prostitute in a dystopian future, will be released in twelve issues through Dark Horse Comics will be on sale October 12th. Orchid features a variant cover by the well-known and influential street artist Shepard Fairey, with interior art by Scott Hepburn (Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic).Other guests at Comic Con include Jon Glaser, David Cross, Chris Elliot, Carrie Brownstein (who is in tour with Wild Flag), Jon Benjamin, Janeane Garofalo, Judah Friedlander, Kevin Smith, Patton Oswalt, Fred Armisen, Mark Hamill, and many more. (Fred and Carrie will be promoting Portlandia)
"Orchid is part Suicide Girl, part Joan of Arc, who becomes the Spartacus of Whores in a story that merges the epic scope of Lord of the Rings with the politics of street terrorism." - Tom Morello
Headlined by DJ Z-Trip, the concert is free to all VIP's and 4-Day ticket holders BUT seating is first come, first served and will be extremely limited due to size of the auditorium and popularity of the event. Ultimate Access, Special Access and Anime Access VIP ticket holders will be guaranteed to get into the show first; then, 4-Day ticket holders will be let in until the auditorium is full. The concert is open to all 4-Day ticket holders on a first come, first served basis and we cannot guarantee that all 4-Day ticket holders that want to attend the show will be able to get in.
"I'm stoked and honored to be playing alongside Tom Morello at the New York Comic Con. He's one of my favorite guitarists of all time, and I've always admired the level of consciousness he brings to the table. This show is gonna be great. Can't wait to read his new comic too." - DJ Z-Trip
Tom Morello is appearing courtesy of Dark Horse Comics, New York Comic Con and Midtown Comics - who will be selling Orchid #1 exclusively at the Kick-Off Concert.
a final set of pics & video from NY Comic Con 2010 & news on Daft Punk's Tron Soundtrack (a sound snippet too)
photos by Andrew St. Clair
"New York Comic Con is just another one of those Javits Center events I end up seeing costumed people at. And I mean that with the highest degree of flattery to the Comic Con team, because their event is by far the best of the Javits Center CosPlay Excuse Events. For gamers and comic fans alike, the Javit's center floor was filled with exciting booths and opportunities to pick up swag and take pictures with scantily clad women.
This year, Comic Con merged with the New York Anime Festival, so there were a lot more characters I didn't recognize with blue hair and over-sized swords. Also - groups of girls dressed as anime characters that had very specific poses. CosPlay is interesting, but there's a line of specificity to the look of the character that separates American CosPlay from the obsessive Japanese kind." [Latino Review]
And this concludes our coverage of this year's New York Comic Con and Anime Fest which started with ONE, TWO, THREE sets of pictures (not to mention a related set from a concert at Irving Plaza). The fourth and final set taken at the Javits Center, with a bunch of videos, is in this post.
Naturally the new Tron movie was a hot topic at Comic Con this year, and Tron is definitely a topic that both sci fi and music fans are equally interested in at the moment. Because of Daft Punk of course.
"After an endless amount of anticipation, we finally reported that Daft Punk's Tron: Legacy soundtrack had a proper release date of November 22. Just two weeks later, that release date has been changed. According to a recent press release, it will now be out on December 7.A Comic Con-related "Making of Tron" video with the rest of the stuff, below...
The announcement comes in the usual sci-fi speak that has accompanied all announcements for the project, citing "a recent system conflict" as the reason for the delay. When the record does come out, it will still be available on a normal CD and a deluxe version with a bonus download and a glow-in-the-dark poster available exclusively from TronSoundtrack.com.
To further whet your appetite, the site has also leaked another snippet of a Daft Punk track. All you have to do is head to the soundtrack's website and type in the word "derezzed" at any moment. You'll then be treated to a brief but amazing Daft Punk clip. Of all the new material, this is the closest to Daft Punk's signature sound so far." [Exclaim]

Ne-Yo teamed up with Marvel Comics founder Stan Lee to host a discussion at this year's ComicCon in New York City on Saturday. The R&B star and the the 87-year-old former president and chairman of Marvel Comics discussed their recent collaboration on Libra Scale, a comic book that Ne-Yo wrote to accompany his upcoming album of the same name. [RTT News]You can check out our first two sets of pictures from this past weekend's con, HERE and HERE (both sets heavy on constumed attendants).

Puffy AmiYumi, Echostream, Boom Boom Satellites & Zazan Boys did Anime Fest, played Irving Plaza (pics)
photos by Chris La Putt
"2 hours until puffy amiyumi plays. Am so excite. waited 10 YEARS for this. Just like #gorillaz. Good weekend 4 that." - Jenny
"At echostream and puffy amiyumi show.
Echo only played like 3 songs wtf." - Katie Lee Grosskopf
"Watching Puffy Amiyumi on stage.
Not a fan, but they are doing really great out there." - Manga Therapy
"If your wondering why I'm still up at midnight.... I just got home from the PUFFY AmiYumi concert" - Stephanie???????
Puffy AmiYumi @ Irving Plaza
"[Saturday], I attended the panel for Far East to East Showcase (FETES), a concert taking place Sunday night at Irving Plaza. Performing at the show are Zazen Boys (not in attendance at the panel), Echostream, Boom Boom Satellites, and Puffy AmiYumi. The panel was moderated by a representative of Superglorious (actually, he introduced himself as Superglorious), the producer of the event.That's a summary of what went down at the Javits Center on Saturday. The panel was part of the Anime Convention which is part of Comic Con which you can see pictures from HERE and HERE. A set of pictures from last night's related concert at Irving Plaza, continues below...
All of the band members were shy at first, but they warmed up as Superglorious asked them questions. They talked about writing music, touring, American audiences (described as being "more direct than Japanese fans" by Puffy). Then the floor was opened to mostly dumb questions from the crowd. I doubt these musicians flew all the way from Japan to guess what character a guy was cosplaying. I shouldn't be rude; as my friend Kim Kindya, a 20-year veteran of these kinds of conventions, put it, this is the only chance these fans have to see their heroes. I should be more forgiving. But I did think it was stupid when one guy asked if Puffy were single. I suppose that was the directness Puffy mentioned." [shrinecastle]

"Saturday's event was a sellout, which meant tens of thousands of people were jammed into the convention center. While elbowing my way through the food court I overheard a Javits employee remark attendance had reached close to a million people. It sure felt that way.Here's another set of pictures from the 2010 edition of New York Comic Con, many costumed attendees included (the first set of pics is HERE). They continue below...
The amount of people in attendance was overwhelming, to say the least. But it was nice knowing the comic book and anime mediums are as popular as they are. I just hope next year organizers figure out a better way to simultaneously house both conventions.
One of the most fun aspects of going to any convention is the sightseeing while looking for the most inventive, creative and daring costume(s). Not to be disappointed, there were plenty of attendees dressed as such. I spotted multiple Zatannas, Deadpools and civilian-attire Wolverines. There were also several fans decked out in full Na'vi garb, blue body paint and all, and more than one Chun-Li roaming the showrooms. There was even a guy walking around in just a bath towel and carrying a stick of Old Spice deodorant. Talk about guts."

"What should I be for Halloween? I'm thinking daft punk.. but give me your ideas!!" - Jon Asher
Daft Punk likes to play dress up. The Euro electronica duo is basically never seen in public without spaceman helmets clamped to their heads. It's a look that would not be out of place in a sci-fi flick like, say, "Tron Legacy," Disney's mega-budget remake of the 1982 original about artificial intelligence, a computer-generated world and Jeff Bridges in a skin-tight neon suit.There will also be "Daft Punk Tron-themed events".
And that's just where Daft Punk will be when the new "Tron" hits theaters in December 2010. MTV News has exclusively learned that the group will not only be scoring the film--as previously revealed--but that they will actually appearing in the movie itself.
"They were in the movie," star Olivia Wilde let slip during an interview with Josh Horowitz. [MTV via Stereogum]
Halloween is coming soon. Daft Punk is always a popular costume idea. One person's instructions on how to make it, HERE. Another HERE. More Tron stuff below....

"They will be at the Namco/Bandai kiosk for the debut of the new Splatterhouse game at 1pm." I assume that means to sign autographs and pose for pictures (Meet & Greet), and NOT to perform.

IRV/RCV Backers Bash Me at the LA Times! Woo Hoo!
When I compare the pageview statistics for this site vs. The N Judah Chronicles, or even Adama for President, I more or less figure that this site is read by me, my friends, and the occaisional person who googles something or sees a link at someone else's site, and that's it.
Thus, it was hilarious to read the LA times Blog today and see not one, but two random commenters bashing me because I don't worship at the altar of "Ranked Choice Voting" (or "Instant Runoff Voting") without question. Um, what?
You really can't have a reality-based discussion on this issue - the people pushing it are so jihad-like in their fervor, they can't accept any opposing views (or even suggestions to make it better). They don't like questions being asked, or suggestions that it isn't the Only Way To Make Elections Work. All they know is attack attack attack. You wonder if these people ever achieved real power if we wouldn't have "Thought Police" to knock down your door if you don't adhere to the Party Line. Ah well.
They certainly don't like the fact that RCV/IRV had no real impact in most recent elections, and instead spend their time calling me names (kinda like a 9-year old might in the schoolyard), or distorting things I've said to suit their needs. Who knew my little political blog had so much influence I still get hate mail from these children? The mind reels at the kind of power I could be wielding with this thing (even if most people would rather talk MUNI or Adama).
Which is fine. You can read everything I've written about gimmicky "reforms" for yourself and decide on your own what to think. Personally I'm glad the hatahs are linking back to the site - more ad revenue and more pageviews for the site. Thanks guys!
PS: This just reaffirms once again why people don't like leftists, or frankly any ideological extremists. They're so intent on demanding absolute loyalty, without any hint of dissent, they become really nasty people to be around. News flash, people: being jerks doesn't help your cause - try being a little nicer and people respond in kind. It seems to work for Obama and even McCain, you can have your principles and brown rice, and still be cool.

Dolmas Salad
James Carrier
After making dolmas - stuffed grape leaves - Sandra Frankmann didn't want to discard the grape leaf pieces left over. So she combined them with other dolma ingredients into a salad. It would make a wonderful side dish for roasted lamb. Preserved grape leaves are sold in jars in Middle Eastern markets and in many well-stocked supermarkets.

Found December 13, 2012 on Blog So Hard Sports:
PLAYERS: Kevin Seraphin
TEAMS: Washington Wizards
TEAMS: Washington Wizards
Come on coach, let me play (credit Nick Wass/AP Photo) So far for the Washington Wizards, Kevin Seraphin's season has been a roller coaster of ups and downs. One night he will look great scoring and rebounding, the next he will give little contribution and spend a good deal of the game on the bench. With the Wizards sitting at 3-16 and not going anywhere fast, it is time to let the young big man play. I know foul trouble and other factors have lead to his fluctuation in minutes, but if Seraphin is indeed going to be a big part of this team's future, don't this lottery bound season by jerking around his minutes. Let him play 30 minutes a game. Let him learn from his mistakes and grown as a player on the court. The worst thing that can come from giving Kevin significant — consistent — minutes is that we can better evaluate his game. Free Kevin Seraphin. After sitting out the first game with an injury, Seraphin has played in 18 games on this season. His playing time has fluctuated anywhere from 13 minutes in a game to a little over 36 minutes. He has yet to foul out of a game and has only picked up 5 fouls on 3 occasions, so the fouling argument shouldn't be too strong here. There are 10 games where he has played over 25 minutes, and 8 games where he has played under that number. When playing 25+ minutes a night, Kevin Seraphin is a completely different player than when he plays under that 25 minute mark. Let's take a quick look at the tale of two Seraphins: 25+ Minutes In the 10 games where Seraphin has played 25+ minutes, his production has been pretty good at least in the scoring and rebounding departments. During those 10 games, his averages are 15.9 points and 7.8 rebounds. He is shooting 51.7% from the floor (76/147), up from his season average of 47.6%. Seraphin has put together 4 double doubles in those games as well, while getting none while playing under 25 minutes. He has also scored in double figures in all 10 of those games. > 25 Minutes In the 8 games Seraphin has played less than 25 minutes, his production in points, percentages, and rebounds drops off (as one would expect). He is only shooting 44.4% (28/63) in those games. His averages drop to 7.1 points and 3.4 rebounds as well. Only one game out of those 8 has he reached double digit scoring, and none where he had double digit rebounds. Again, zero double doubles during those games. Again, I understand that there are more factors that come along with playing time than just saying hey, you are playing 35 minutes tonight. But the fact of the matter is this: the Wizards are not going anywhere. There is no advantage in having Kevin Seraphin sitting on the bench or only playing 16 minutes a game. His game has already improved dramatically from this time last season. The soft touch and skills he has shown on the interior is definitely an encouraging sign for the Wizards faithful. We just need Randy Wittman to go ahead and start Seraphin, and let him play through the mistakes. Let him build confidence while on the court, and continue to evolve and grow his game. No offense to Emeka Okafor, but he isn't the future of this team. Nobody particularly wants to see him playing 35 minutes a night and taking 12 shots in a loss. He isn't (or I should say shouldn't be) part of the "plan". Kevin Seraphin is. Free Seraphin.

田代島猫神社 (Tashirojima Cat Shrine)
The Neko Jinja in Tashirojima, Ishinomaki is a shrine dedicated to cats in the middle of the island. Fixed net-fishing was popular on the island after the Edo period and fishermen would stay overnight to watch their catch. The stray cats in the island would then approach them and beg for scraps and this built a relationship between the humans and the pets. One day, a stray rock fell on one cat and killed it. Feeling sorry for it, the fishermen buried it and enshrined it.

* Investors doubt Libyan exports will return quickly
* U.S. reports solid job growth in March as winter retreats
(Updates prices)
NEW YORK, April 4 (Reuters) - U.S. crude oil rose on Friday as data showed strong jobs growth in the United States and Brent followed suit as investors cast doubt on reports Libya's oil ports were about to reopen.
The March U.S. non-farm payrolls report showed 192,000 jobs were added in March in major test of the argument that the economic weakness of January and February was due to bad weather.
Expectations had been building that an eight-month blockage of Libya's oil export ports would end after rebels and the government said they were close to an agreement.
The Libyan government said it had seen evidence of "good intentions" at indirect talks with eastern rebels that could lead to renewed exports.
Previous reports of the reopening of ports have proven false and investors suspect there will again be no breakthrough.
"In the oil market it is Libya that is pulling the strings," said David Hufton, managing director of London brokerage PVM Oil Associates. "High hopes of an imminent settlement with rebels in the east of the country have been punctured."
May Brent crude was up 34 cents at $106.49 a barrel by 2:18 p.m. EDT (1818 GMT). U.S. crude for May gained 74 cents to $101.03 a barrel, after earlier rising as high as $101.63. Front-month U.S. crude was set to post its first weekly loss in three weeks.
The spread between Brent and U.S. crude, also known as West Texas Intermediate or WTI, had narrowed to as low as $4.81 by mid-week as Brent lost more than $3 on hopes that Libyan oil would soon be back online. It widened to nearly $6 on Thursday before narrowing again on Friday to $5.49.
"The spread's in today by about 50 cents, which suggests that concerns about Libyan oil making its way back onto the world market place has kind of run its course, and the focus is back on Cushing oil flowing down to the Gulf Coast," said Gene McGillian, an analyst at Tradition Energy in Stamford, Connecticut.
The restart of Libya's eastern oil ports could release about 600,000 barrels per day (bpd) of crude, bumping up the OPEC producer's output from around 150,000 bpd but still far from the 1.4 million bpd it produced last July.
Investors remained cautious after a breakdown in agreements between the Libyan government and rebels earlier this year.
Geopolitical risk buoyed oil markets ahead of the weekend, despite a falling U.S. equities market, analysts said, citing the ongoing tensions in Libya and between Russia and Ukraine.
Britain urged its European Union partners on Friday to press ahead with preparing tough economic sanctions against Russia, saying large numbers of Russian forces remained on Ukraine's eastern border and there had been only a "token" withdrawal.
"It's hard to get too bearish going into the weekend with so many unknowns -- Russia, Ukraine, Libya," said Phil Flynn, an analyst with the Price Futures Group in Chicago, Illinois.
"People don't want to be short in case something hits the fan over the weekend, which it very well could, given all the saber-rattling that's going on."

Five reasons we still care about Britney Spears
Britney Spears most searched person on the Internet since 2000
PictureGroup - Rex Features
There have been far more talented singers who have come and gone since Britney Spears first burst onto the scene with "Baby One More Time" in 1999, and many stars who have a lot more interesting things to say, so what is it about the school girl from Louisiana that has managed to capture our interest for all these years? Kimberly Moffit, a psychotherapist and relationship expert, helps explain our unwavering attachment to Spears, who has dominated search reports over the past 12 years and topped yearly lists a whopping seven times since 2000, according to a recent search engine report.
Timing is everything
Moffit believes the timing of Spears' rise to fame has contributed significantly to the fascination factor. The world was just introduced to the singer as it began a love affair with the Internet, a combination that allowed fans to indulge in their favourite new pastime while searching for stories and photos about the hottest new star, building a foundation of interest. And just as easily, the haters could build anti-Britney pages and compile the worst sound-bites from her live performances. "She was the most loved and the most hated person in the world and that was why she was so popular," Moffit says. Plus, 16-year-old Spears was the first really young pop star today's 18-35 demographic was able to relate to as they came of age along with her. "She represented youth. That really struck a chord with a lot of young people who listen to music," Moffit says.
The schadenfreude effect
Nobody can deny Spears' famous downward spiral played a big part in the public's continued fascination with her, as Moffit explains with the psychological term schadenfreude. "Things that aren't funny, you find funny or satisfying. You're laughing at someone else's demise," she says, adding people are relieved they aren't going through it themselves. When things got so bad Spears landed in the psych ward in 2008 and lost custody of her two boys, the public just couldn't turn away. "When someone like this falls apart publicly it's so easy to say 'wow her life really sucks and at least it's not me.' There's some kind of a public joy in that demise which is very sad."
Miss popularity's pain
Adding to the obsession with Spears' pain is the fact she represented the popular girl in high school, which many people have a symbolic attachment to, depending on their own teenage experience. "A lot of my clients in my private practice say they look at the cool kids from high school and now they're working at the gas station or have five kids at home and they say it makes them feel a lot better about themselves," Moffit says. "Britney was the cool kid but you can see there's something that's definitely missing from her now and it's satisfying for people to see that."
Mesmerized by moves
Anyone who has ever seen Spears' 2001 VMA appearance, in which she confidently commanded the stage with a python around her neck, knows the meaning of transfixed. "There's something about the way she performed in the day that was so magnetizing for people. She really had an 'It' factor," Moffit says of her abilities as a performer. "That's really rare." And even though it's been a while since we've seen that famous Spears spark on stage, Moffit says her music videos still connect with fans and her songs continue to dominate the charts. "You feel like she's speaking directly to you. That's why she has such an appeal."
Desperate for the Britney of old
For Spears' record $15 million X Factor paycheque, the judge has simply recycled a handful of standard responses after each performance, but yet she's already been invited back for another season and by all accounts her time on the reality show has been labelled a success because she's brought the viewers along with her. Moffit equates Spears' unwavering draw to the fact the public is still desperate to see the Britney of old. "We want to see her come back. She was that magnetizing that we really hope for that again at some point." And as if on cue, the buzz has already begun to build Spears may be performing on the X Factor finale Dec. 20. "Maybe! We'll see," she replied coyly when pressed at this week's viewing party.

It seems as if in my short 1 1/2 years as a parent already the rules have changed on car seat safety. This week's feature at One Organic Mama offers an easy to understand review of some of the most important ones. I see parents, including myself, breaking some of these rules all that time, so it's always a good idea just to make sure you know how to keep your little ones safe. If you do find yourself needing to dispose of a cars seat remember that they can be recycled.

text: According to NBA.com the Denver Nuggets have decided to exercise the third-year option on both Kenneth Faried and Jordan Hamilton's contracts. Each player will make slightly north of $1 million during the 2013-14 season. This move is a no-brainer. Count on the Nuggets doing this same thing sometime next year.

I point to your own anecdote as a reason your utopian future won't come about. You were turned down for a job you more than adequately capable of, because of faulty or lazy thinking.
That will happen NO MATTER WHAT. In Cataclysm, no matter how much parity there is, it will not be a true 1=1. Someone will post on Theorycrafting sites that a Paladin is .001% better at X, and a Druid is .003% better at Y. And it won't matter how small or petty the distinctions are, Players will still try and pigeonhole classes because that is what they do :-p
I agree the min/max crowd will do that. And lets say, somehow, all the classes get to the exact same healing throughput, then why not just take just pallies, their plate armor and their offspec?
I'm not on the homogenization bus because it takes away flavor. If somehow all healers did become very close in abilities, then why choose one? For the offspec? I'd be okay with steering two classes toward tank healing, and the other two toward raid healing. But have 4 classes that perform the same? It goes too far.
Parity is not the same as homogenization! Too many people seem to be confusing the two.
Parity implies equal capability, but it does not mean that their abilities or playstyle are in any way similar. The four healing classes can (and should) each be equally capable of either tank or raid healing while using entirely different tools, both flavor-wise and mechanically, to get there.
uncaringbear said...
The min/maxers will always dictate in the end. No matter how close Blizz gets the 4 classes homogenized, one or two classes will still be identified as having x% superiority in category y. That class suddenly gets perceived as the superior class regardless of the size of the difference. This filters down to the general population and next thing you know, class XYZ sucks at doing such and such.

June 04, 2012, 11:27 PM — Sony was the second of the 'big three' video game companies to hold their E3 Press Conference, scheduling it so as to maximize at-home viewing. It happened at 6 PM local time, 9 PM on the East Coast, and Sony said they were broadcasting the show live in 4 languages, both streaming via various outlets on the web as well as on TV (I took it in via G4's TV station).
I expected the show to be heavily weighted towards the Playstation Vita but actually Sony put on a very well rounded show, and they showcased a variety of game styles so in theory there was something there for everything.
Game titles ranged from developer Quantic Dream's (Heavy Rain) new title Beyond, staring actress Ellen Page and using the tech shown off in the Kara video a few months back, to peppier, lighter fare like Playstation All-Stars Battle Royale which, let's be honest, is a Super Smash Brothers rip-off using Playstation characters. It does offer cross play between PS3 and Vita though, and looked like good fun.
Other blockbuster titles put on display included Assassin's Creed 3 as well as an AC side-story coming out on the Vita and featuring a lady assassin, God of War: Ascension and, to close out the conference on a high note, Naughty Dog's amazing looking The Last of Us in which you play a guy with a little girl side-kick trying to survive in a post-apocalyptic landscape.
As much as Xbox 360 emphasized military FPS, Sony de-emphasized them, though they did mention that a Call of Duty: Black Ops game is coming to the Vita.
Getting away from 'core' games, Sony spent a little time talking up the Playstation Network and Playstation Plus program (members of which will get free access to Infamous 2, Little Big Planet 2 and Saint's Row 2 starting tomorrow) as well as mentioning that Hulu Plus and Crackle TV (as well as the previously announced YouTube) apps will be coming to the Vita soon.
Then there were Wonderbooks. Wonderbooks is a new program that combines a physical book with the Playstation Move and Playstation Eye to bring storybooks to life via ARG. This probably would've been just a blip in the conference except the first title, Book of Spells, was written by Harry Potter author JK Rowling. The book puts you in the role of a new student at Hogwarts and, using the Move controller as a magic wand, you need to learn to cast spells and accomplish other tasks. It looked like something that could be a hit with kids and that might get played behind closed blinds by parents once the little ones are in bed.
Mobile gaming was mentioned in the context of the Playstation Suite, which has been rebranded with the much more sensible moniker Playstation Mobile.

TONS of evidence its fake at;
Sorry, but the time to question Obama's eligibility was before he was sworn in. Now that's he's president, eligibility is moot, don't you think? He's the PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, just try telling him he's not eligible and he can get mad and push a button. Now it would take impeachment proceedings as a minimum, but even if he openly admits he was born in Timbuktu he could raise the defense that the American people and Congress granted him an EXEMPTION. He's the MESSIAH, you'd permit CHRIST to be president, right? :)
Scope Obama's shady partly covered-up past the most powerful way with the Historyscoper:
The White House Obama birth certificate doesn't have anything to do with anything... certainly not Obama's U.S. citizenship.
The only thing it might prove is that politicians are liars and propaganda-ists of the highest order.

Racism is a very touchy subject. Most people are very apprehensive about discussing race. It is a vague, complex issue that usually brings out heated debates and volatile arguments. So when Winnipeg Jets forward Evander Kane suggested in an interview soon to be published in The Hockey News, that racism was the primary reason why he has been subjected to heavy criticism by Winnipeg fans and media, the city is up in arms.
Since the Jets arrived in Winnipeg in 2011, Kane has been the lightning rod of the franchise. There have been many rumours floating around the city about Kane's behaviour. From skipping bills at restaurants, to posting images on Twitter, holding stacks of money like a telephone, while atop a plush high-rise in Las Vegas, to having a different girl on his arm on his many nights about the town, to his public battles with head coach Claude Noel, Kane knows how to strike a conversation. Usually in a negative way.
So let's look at both sides of the story. Yes, Kane has been subject to his fair share of criticism. And there in no doubt some of it is warranted. But have the fans and the media gone too far? Winnipeg Free Press columnist Gary Lawless has been obsessed with Evander Kane, since the Jets returned. Lawless has written countless articles about Kane's alleged indiscretions at length. Yet when it comes to the lack of effort supplied by Kyle Wellwood, Nik Antropov and Olli Jokinen, those three for some reason get a pass. (That is changing with Antropov as he is starting to feel the heat from fans and media.) Now is it race, or is it because there are higher expectations for Kane?
Then there is the city of Winnipeg itself. A diverse community with various backgrounds, Winnipeg has a long history of multiculturalism which it should be proud of. That doesn't mean there isn't any problems in the city. For many years, Native Canadians have lived in impoverished conditions in the North End of the city. While many Canadian cities have similar issues, Winnipeg has been front and centre in this ongoing problem. It is and remains a divisive issue here and it could have possibly carried over into hockey as well.
Then there is the NHL itself. The rise of black players in the NHL has become more noticeable in recent years. From Wayne Simmonds to Anson Carter to Grant Fuhr to Jarome Iginla, blacks aren't only making the NHL, they're thriving and doing very well. Sadly there are old attitudes that still exist. After Joel Ward scored the overtime winner, to help the Washington Capitals upset the Boston Bruins in last year's playoffs, some Bruin fans took to Twitter to vent some frustration. While most Bruin fans expressed disappointment in the loss (which is completely understandable) some resorted to ugly racial slurs against Ward. (Ward is black for those who don't know) The numbskulls who did this were quickly outed on Twitter and shot down very fast. But it was a reminder that we have a long way to go, in the battle against racism.
But Kane does have a few points against him too. Firstly, the Winnipeg Sun recently took a poll to see who is the most popular Jet in the city. Overwhelmingly, the fans chose Dustin Byfuglien as their favourite player. Big Buff (who is black) has gone about his business much quieter than Kane. He goes by the old adage "Speak softly and carry a big stick." That big stick produces a cannon of a shot that terrifies opposing goalies. So far in this 2013 season, Byfuglien has been the best player for the Jets, and deserves the adoration of the fans.
Let us remember that Kane is still young and dumb with lots of money. When you give a 21-year-old a six-year contract, paying an annual salary of $5.25 million per year, it can go to his head. If I was 21 and making over $5 million a year, I'd be doing and saying dumb things as well.
Finally it could be just Winnipeg fans overreacting to just about everything. There is no doubt the excitement level in this city is very high since the Jets returned, but perhaps a chill pill is required for the fans. The rumours about Kane are akin to high school rumours about whose dating whom. Yes Kane needs to grow up, but so do the Winnipeg fans.
There is no easy answer. And yes, this issue will divide many a citizen in this city. But it is worth discussing about. And hopefully Evander Kane can learn something from this as well.

3 Everyday Tips for Immune Support
>> Healthy Immunity 101
Fill Your Vitamin D Tank.
Healthy Recipes:
Get a Daily Dose of Soluble Fiber
Healthy Recipes:
Stay Lean
Overweight adults who cut their daily calorie intake by nearly a third saw a 50 percent boost in immunity, according to a six-month study out of Tufts University. (Those who cut calories by 10 percent had smaller improvements.) Restricting calories may reduce levels of compounds in the body that depress your immune response, says Tufts nutritional immunologist Simin Meydani, D.V.M., Ph.D. Animal studies suggest that calorie restriction could work in normal-weight individuals too. "Try to maintain your body weight at what is considered ideal," Meydani says, because eating more than what you need drags the immune system down. And remember: when you cut back on quantity, you need to be even more vigilant about the quality of your diet. Aim to eat more fruits and vegetables—and choose lean protein sources, such as fish, chicken and low-fat dairy.

Excellent advice.
I didn't do much dungeon/raiding in TBC, but with the sudden upgrades in Wrath (from rep & quests), I've found myself in a position to do so, even Heroics.
Had to sort of jump in, feet first and learn these things from experienced players, some willing and some not so willing to take the time.
My advice, if someone is not cool enough to help you learn something you haven't quite mastered, probably not someone you want to continue playing with anyway.
WoW has 11M+ subscribers, and I've met more fun ones than non.
Oh, and my other piece of advice: Learn all of the damn acronyms people use.

[TRIPOLI, Libya] Boys and girls chanted slogans against Moammar Gadhafi and teachers hanged an effigy of the fugitive leader Saturday as many Libyan children started their first school year without the "brother leader" dictating the curriculum.

A Buffalo Wild Wings is under construction and slated to open during football season in the in Brentwood.
The restaurant will be located at 1210 Strassner Drive; the last undeveloped plot of land at Hanley Station. In a May Brentwood Board of Aldermen meeting, owner David Jones said he hopes the restaurant will be operational by September or early October, as noted in meeting minutes.
(See related on Patch: Sports Bar Face-off: Which One is the Best?)
Jones, who could not be reached for comment, has owned and operated seven other Buffalo Wild Wings franchises in the St. Louis area.
Buffalo Wild Wings is a national chain that serves standard sports bar fare, including its well-known chicken wings with a wide variety of sauces, burgers, flat-bread pizza, salads, chicken wraps, sandwiches, ribs and more. The restaurant features 14 sauces for its wings.
Each franchise boasts a wide selection of draft and bottled beer and a full bar. Non-alcoholic drinks include flavored lemonades and Coca-Cola brand sodas.
Jones has acquired all necessary building, sign and liquor permits, said Ellen Rottjakob, the director of planning and development for Brentwood. He's only waiting for final occupancy and inspection permits once construction is complete.

Never did we believe how much fun we would have shopping, chopping, cooking and eating! Our experience was by far the highlight of our week in Barcelona. Laia, our chef, informed us of the regional dishes. Our menu was perfect for the weather (summer time ..hot and humid) and
delicious. Gracias!
