Comp This: A One-Year Anniversary Rant
(I apologize in advance…not much of the usual hilarity and hijinks here today.)
Okay, I'll admit this topic has been talked to death already. Scott talked about it. Mark Jacobs used the power of drama to discuss it. Jeff Freeman nailed it (as usual).
I'm talking, of course, about Tobold being a faithless Commie who kills kittens with salad forks for fun ever since he received a free subscription from Mythic.
Now, the last time I checked, what Tobold did was not illegal, nor was it immoral. However, I find it interesting that somce of the people that are informed, entertained and amused by our mouthings and ramblings in the world of blogging are the ones that want to make damn sure we don't get a thing out of it, because if we do, then we're obviously corrupt.
That may be the most naive thing I've ever written about, and I'll tell you why.
There's no difference in that attitude and stating that "some gamers pirate games, so therefore all gamers are pirates".
That method of reasoning used in the hallowed halls of game development has led to the current fun with DRM that everyone's getting to enjoy on games like Spore. Every time you paint people with a broad brush you screw up the picture, and that's all the furor over "Toboldgate" is…people assuming that, since they're heard stories of other online writers being influenced by gifts from gaming companies, then anyone that accepts anything from a gaming company is automatically biased and not to be trusted.
Assuming that someone is biased toward a game because they received something from the company (because others have been in the past) goes hand-in-hand with a company assuming that just because some gamers have pirated games in the past, then all gamers are potential pirates and should be treated as such.
I write LagORama for the same reason that Tobold writes his blog; the same reason that Ethic writes on Kill Ten Rats; the same reason that Mark started up his new blog (well, maybe not that one; Jacobs' blog is just his former career as a stand-up comic screaming to get out, and a desperate cry for attention)…because I love MMORPGs, and I love writing about them.
Today is a fairly neat day for the ol' Lag…one year ago today, I published the first post on this blog (about, of all things, Huxley entering beta…I still can't understand their website), and my one-year anniversary just happens to coincide with the day I get into Warhammer Online on the SE pre-order head start and finally join my friends in the Casualties of War; nice day all around. However, I'd like to share something with you…since I launched this blog, the ads you see around this post have brought in a grand total of $24 dollars.
In a year.
Very few bloggers in the MMORPG world do it for the money; we do it because we truly love this medium. Period. No matter which side of this debate we fall on. I've never had the opportunity to be offered a comp anything because of this blog (apparently, you have to have more than two regular readers for that, but I still appreciate you both), but I have had comps in the past, both in my day job and (more relevant to the MMO world) during my tenure at MMORadio, and I would do it again.
Yes, I am evil, aren't I?
But understand this…if I get offered a free anything, the purpose it serves is to introduce me to another part of the MMORPG world that I might not otherwise be exposed to. I'm starting WAR today with a pre-order, and currently playing EQII with my wife as well.
I don't have time for anything else I can get for free because of the time I spend on what I'm paying for, and yet I still check out free trials and the like on a much-too-regular basis, and would gladly check out a game I had a free account on. Why?
Because I love MMORPGs, and I love this blog. Checking out new things broadens my perspective, brings new things to my attention, and
gives me an easy post enriches the content here…for better or worse.
I've been planning for a while to run a "One Year Anniversary" contest here on LagORama, just to have a big hoo-hah (technical blogging term) to celebrate, using a few things I've collected over the years and a couple more I plan to purchase just to be able to give them away, and I'll be doing that in the next week or two so stick around for it.
I've met some great people through this blog…readers, gamers, developers and all sorts of nice humans (plus Jack Thompson), and I hope that continues for the foreseeable future.
But in the interest of full disclosure, some of the prizes will comped merchandise, some of them will be items I received at E3, and some of it I found in the dumpster behind a Chuck'E'Cheez in Austin.
If you think that makes me biased, I would ask you to please stop pirating games.
Thanks for a fantastic year!
- Dave "Inhibitor" Hughes (inhibitor at lagorama dot com)

Perhaps it is our job, we insider sheep, to take our eyes off the controversy and place them on the shepherd, who may be not so much seeking our opinion on the matter as executing his own.
We need a national Human Rights Act along the lines of the Maine Human Rights Act. We need to outlaw discrimination in employment, housing, credit, public accommodations and educational opportunity on the basis of gender identity or sexual orientation -- once and for all, nationwide, no exceptions.
Rabbi Pamela Barmash's teshuvah misses a ripe opportunity to re-examine our relationship to mitzvoth in a world that is hopefully breaking down hierarchy and gender roles and heading towards complete egalitarianism. Do we really perform mitzvoth because we feel obligated?
On the morning of June 28, 1969, a raid was tried at the Stonewall Inn. It wasn't a gay bar -- there were none. It was owned by the mafia, and was a place for all outcasts, including drag queens, butch lesbians, feminine boys and male prostitutes.
If the Church was able to clarify its understanding of Scripture based on Galileo's new information about the heavens, then we can surely clarify our reading of the Bible based on new information about same-sex relationships.
Hook doesn't have to worry ever again; his future success is almost assured. He has a loyal fan base which is growing, not shrinking.
In celebration of National Poetry Month 2014, I present my new poem: a poetic manifesto for a new world. By the way, I also think that we need to queer or gayify National Poetry Month!
Today, March 17th, 2014 in Dublin all bets are off, the city is exploding with joy and pride, happiness and the most welcoming spirit possible.
As soon as I put the toothbrush in my mouth, I realized what I'd done and went straight for the vodka.
Don't many of us feel like Marius, the #SurplusGiraffe? How many of us feel that someone in our life, some bank or boss, some Congress person or Senator can end our lives as we know them, and feed it to not the lions but the wolves of Wall St.?
What would King say about marriage equality? The short answer, of course, is that nobody knows. Homosexuality was in the closet in King's day so no one can say for certain. There are, however, a few clues.
If I had ovaries, I think it would be safe to say they've been aching. I want a baby. I want a baby very, very badly.
Whenever there is extreme weather, some weird religious leader gets airtime for blaming someone. Whether it's a tsunami, an earthquake, a heat wave or a drought, someone will say it's God's way of getting our attention and therefore it has to be someone's fault.
Until the 1980s, the nucleus of Philadelphia's queer community was west of Broad Street around the area of 15th and Spruce, where bars like the Mistique -- a bohemian drag and jazz bar -- were major focal points of the city's night life.
No matter which way you put it on paper, it is related to the same course of logic that was used fifty years ago to ban interracial dating. The rhetoric of "stick to your own kind" vis-a-vis Jewish dating isn't exactly bigotry, but it isn't quite not.
Real transformation within families, groups of friends, communities, corporations, institutions, governments, and communities of faith is an inside job. Change is found in the smallest choices we make every day about how we treat each other.
I have advocated using the expression "gender and sexual minorities," or the acronym "GSM," as the collective political term for people who are not cisgender and/or heterosexual. So it was welcome news when UK therapists came out this year in favor of a splendid refinement of the term.
Sept. 12 was my mom's birthday. This post is dedicated to her, as well as to my dad and all those family members who stand with the LGBT community and fight alongside us.
I embrace a title such as this because "Hell Yeah! I am a gay filmmaker who is going to tell my stories about my life." Our community has been denied this freedom for far, far too long.
If you've never seen/heard/danced your ass off to any of Viva Ruiz's work, you're missing out. It's hard to pin down Ruiz. Native New Yorker, first-generation American, queer, feminist, dancer, filmmaker, musician, revolutionary: you can try to label her, but, if you do, you're missing the point.
There's a lot be be angry about across the world. But there's also a lot to be angry about right here. A lot. And we can't keep acting like sectarian violence isn't happening in the streets of America.
Add up all the voters that the Republicans have done their best to reject, and I refuse to believe that there are enough "safe" districts for them to maintain control of the House. I see danger for Republicans in 2014.

- be consistent with the description.
For a standard patent you can have any number of claims. A certified innovation patent can have only five claims.
Please note that a standard patent application with more than 20 claims at acceptance will incur additional fees.
Independent claim
An independent claim is one that does not refer to any other claim. It must define those features that are essential to the invention.
A standard patent application can have more than one independent claim but they must all relate to the same invention. For example, if your invention is a new product you may be able to include independent claims for the product, a new process specially adapted to make the product, and perhaps a new apparatus to carry out that process.
Dependent claim
A dependent claim makes explicit reference to one or more previous claims.
You should ensure that the introductory words of each dependent claim refer to the whole of the earlier claim. This is usually achieved by repeating the introductory words of the independent claim and referring to the claim by number.
The extra features specified in dependent claims would be those that you consider desirable or optional, but not essential, to your invention. They are sometimes used as a safeguard just in case the invention in the independent claim is not new, or the independent claim is shown to be invalid after a patent has been granted.
They may also be of value when negotiating a licence agreement with a manufacturer.
Don't try to claim too much
Your claim must be reasonable and define only one invention.
If you try to claim too much, it may be difficult to obtain, or at least defend, those rights. If you claim too little you may miss out on valuable opportunities.
Because they determine the scope of the monopoly given by a patent, claims must:
- be clear and concise
- distinguish your invention from what is already known.
Poorly worded claims can be confusing and completely miss the true 'inventive step' in your technology.
Patent attorneys are experts at writing claims, which is why you may consider using their services.
You should use drawings wherever possible to help describe your invention.
Drawings must be in black ink and drawn using either drafting instruments or computer software.
Significant features of the drawings should be clearly labelled by number(s) and described in the body of the specification.
You should include an abstract at the back of your specification. This is a brief summary of your invention that will help the reader to quickly identify the key features.
What if I omit something or want to change it?
You are able to amend your patent application in certain circumstances.
Some amendments require you to supply evidence and others require us to advertise the amendment for a period of opposition.

The award, announced in New York on Monday, comes 10 months after the Guardian published the first report based on the leaks from Snowden, revealing the agency's bulk collection of US citizens' phone records. Full story

JH Williams III & W. Haden Blackman Leave 'Batwoman' Over Editorial Edicts
By Andy Khouri
In a posting to JH Williams III's website late Wednesday night, the acclaimed artist and his Batwoman co-writer W. Haden Blackman announced that due to what they described as a preponderance of "eleventh-hour changes" to stories that had been planned a year or more in advance, they're walking off the book. Among the grievances alleged by Williams and Blackman was publisher DC Comics' refusal to allow principal characters Batwoman (aka Kate Kane) and her fiancé Maggie Sawyer to get married.
Asked to expand on the marriage note, Williams said the following via Twitter: "Not wanting to be inflammatory, only factual — We fought to get [Kate and Maggie] engaged, but were told emphatically no marriage can result." He added, "But must clarify— [the decision] was never put to us as being anti-gay marriage."@andykhouri Not wanting to be inflammatory, only factual- We fought to get them engaged, but were told emphatically no marriage can result. — J.H. Williams III (@JHWilliamsIII) September 5, 2013@andykhouri But must clarify- was never put to us as being anti-gay marriage. — J.H. Williams III (@JHWilliamsIII) September 5, 2013
Do click through and read. It's important to note that all parties involved point out that the decision was not anti-gay…but anti-marriage. And while that might be equally problematic, it's a different issue. The problem editorial had with them getting married was not that they were gay, but that they were getting married at all.
Both Marvel and DC have displayed this attitude in recent times, with the dissolution of Peter Parker and Mary Jane's marriage at Marvel, and Superman and the Flash no longer being married in the New 52 reboot.
If we're going to have an intelligent discussion about this, it needs to be about the level of editorial "interference" that is acceptable and about the mainstream comics industry's recent belief that a married character is, by definition, boring. The issue here is not one of DC being homophobic, and it's also by no means an issue that is exclusive to DC.
Karen Berger Steps Down As Vertigo Executive Editor After Nearly 20 Years
By Andy Khouri
In what can be described as seismic news from DC Comics, the publisher confirmed Monday that next year Karen Berger will step down from her position as the Executive Editor and Senior Vice President of the mature readers Vertigo imprint. It's a post she's held for nearly 20 years, during which time she oversaw the publication of such enduringly popular series including The Sandman by Neil Gaiman, Dave McKean and a host of fantastic artists; 100 Bullets by Brian Azzarello and Eduardo Risso and Dave Johnson; Shade: The Changing Man by Peter Milligan and Chis Bachalo; Death: The High Cost of Living by Gaiman and Chris Bachalo; The Invisibles by Grant Morrison, Sean Phillips, Brian Bolland and others; Y: The Last Man by Brian K. Vaughan and Pia Guerra; Preacher by Garth Ennis, Steve Dillon and Glenn Fabry; and Hellblazer, the long-running, recently cancelled occult saga that was home to a who's who of international comic book talent, and which perhaps most exemplified the Vertigo aesthetic that proved inescapably vital and hugely influential for years.
There will doubtlessly be more to say about this news, but for now you can read the official press release on ComicsAlliance.
While Donald Trump had no problem demanding that Barack Obama reveal details about his passport and time at college on Wednesday, the billionaire business mogul proved rather less forthcoming when it came to a request for information about himself.
Trump announced on Wednesday that he would donate $5m to a charity of Obama's choosing, if the president handed over his "college records and applications, and passport application and records".
But when the Guardian contacted Trump's office to ask for Trump's college and passport records, it was accused of "trying to be funny" and the request was deemed to be "stupid". Listen to what happened when Guardian US reporter Adam Gabbatt contacted his office.
Oh, someone link Jon Stewart to this, please!
I love that the conservative writer of this "Mitt Romney donated 1,000 times the amount Joe Biden did to charity" very casually ignores that Joe Biden has earned about $2 million over the past decade while Mitt Romney made more than $13 million last year ALONE.
Dear conservatives:
You truly, achingly suck at spin.
Us fucking liberals.

Paul Ryan says 1.4 million businesses filed for bankruptcy in 2011 under Obama, actually the number is 47,806
Trip Gabriel at The New York Times "The Caucus" blog:
Mr. Ryan also cited bankruptcy numbers to make the point that failing businesses mean fewer jobs. "In 1980 under Jimmy Carter, 330,000 businesses filed for bankruptcy," he said. "Last year, under President Obama's failed leadership, 1.4 million businesses filed for bankruptcy."
But he appeared to conflate business bankruptcies and much more numerous personal bankruptcies. Of the 331,264 bankruptcies in 1980, only 43,694 were for businesses, according to the American Bankruptcy Institute.
Of the 1,410,653 total bankruptcy filings last year, 47,806 were business bankruptcies, according to the institute. And, again, the numbers are falling. In 2009, there were 60,837 business bankruptcies. In July, the latest month with complete statistics, business bankruptcies were 22 percent lower than a year earlier, and personal bankruptcies were down 11 percent.
"But he appeared to conflate business bankruptcies and much more numerous personal bankruptcies."
Paul Ryan didn't "appear to conflate" anything. He deliberately lied, because that's what he does, and until the goddamn media does its fucking job and calls his lies what they are — lies — he'll keep doing it, without any consequences at all.

Great ropes
posted 5 years ago
I really like the ease of using these lead lines, and the colors are great. I do not like the snap, and prefer a bull dog snap that will not break so easy if horse bolts. The rope will not leave a burn in your hand near as bad as other brands.
Pros: great colors
Cons: the snaps

Livestock has
been a major source of income for small farmers and labourers,
and the basic facilities for cow rearing was very poor in
Wayanad. Today, the crisis in the farm sector has compelled
many farmers to look at livestock as major option to tide
over the crisis and it has become primary earning sector for
a majority of people. RASTA has also taken it up as an organizational
agenda to support the farming community with necessary inputs
with emphasis on cow and goat rearing as major thrust area.
During eighties People used to have temporary
sheds for cows using paddy straw for thatched roofs and laying
fishtail palm stem for rough flooring. During the prolonged
rainy seasons (six months) cattle become more prone to disease
like mastitis and used to give birth of unhealthy calves due
to infection. Also the practice of keeping the urine and dung
in the same pits leads to unhygienic environment leading to
breeding of flies and spreading of diseases. Understanding
this situation, the RASTA took a major step to provide assistance
to new cattlesheds with separate urine tanks. 500 new catlle-sheds
were constructed by the farmers with the support of RASTA.
To supplement this initiative, RASTA has
introduced the various types of fodder grasses like Nappier,
Congo signal, and Guania grass among farmers of Wayanad.
Nearly 1500 families have been provided with
credit support of 1.8 Crore during the last 10 years for purchasing
cows through SHGs.
Intensive heifer care programme was launched
in 1990 in association with veterinary department, where focus
has been given for proper nutrition and de-worming of new
born calves and spreading awareness.
Booklets and palm lets have been prepared
to give awareness on the heifer care activities. RASTA has
also promoted silage, urea treatment of straw to properly
keep grass for lean season.
But this could not get desired results as
the meat and milk production still remained at 4 to 5 kg per
animal and 300 to 500 ml respectively. So farmers could not
get a reasonable profit out of rearing goats and up scaling
of goat rearing was not possible. In 2003, RASTA introduced
the Malabari Goat, a selective breed of Goats to farmers.
It is a medium size breed. Height around 70 cm, with bucks
weighing 50 kg and does around 35 kg. It has a Milk production
of 2-4 litres per day.

Angry Birds is on your iPhone, Android device, your Mac and PC in your browser, on Facebook and Google+. It's available as candy and plush toys in local stores, but now Angry Birds is seeking new markets off the planet. In a move that would make the Mario Bros. blush, Rovio on March 22 releases yet another version of its famous game, called Angry Birds Space, alongside an Angry Birds marketing bonanza.
Presented by the Samsung Galaxy "It's got a pen" Note, Angry Birds Space will be available for iOS, Android, Mac, and PC at launch. It's not clear if Facebook and pork rinds fans will also see Angry Birds Space at launch, but Rovio promises new Angry Birds animation, merchandise, and books.
To get you hyped up for the the next Angry Birds game, Rovio recently released a teaser video featuring NASA astronaut Don Pettit aboard the International Space Station. Pettit explains the importance of trajectory for spacefarers, including the world's newest astronauts, the Angry Birds. After Pettit's three-minute sermon about the importance of lining things up just right, Rovio gives us a sneak peek of Angry Birds Space.
And guess what? You do exactly the same thing in the new game as you've always done, but this time it's in space. There is at least one interesting twist to the new game: you have to deal with gravity fields from planetary bodies as you smash up the green pigs.
Angry Birds Space will feature 60 levels, new characters, superpowers, and gameplay. And, as an added merchandising bonus, you can purchase new levels using in-app purchases, although Rovio does plan to release new levels for the game as well. The company plans to showcase the new game Friday during the SXSW Interactive conference.
This may not be the last you hear of Angry Birds in space, either. Rovio says it is just beginning a partnership with NASA to collaborate on educational initiatives. Rovio is also working with National Geographic Books, which will publish an official companion book to Angry Birds Space.
If you haven't had your fill of Angry Birds yet, Rovio will be releasing more videos featuring the new spacey Angry Birds characters on its site on March 10, 12, 14, 15, and 16.

Blu-ray players give you lots of entertainment options. They'll play high-definition Blu-ray discs (including 3D movies, in some cases), regular DVDs, and CDs. And a growing number of players stream video from Internet sites such as Netflix, giving you access to the world of on-demand entertainment. With prices now starting as low as $100 or so, it's no surprise that Blu-ray players are pushing standard DVD players to the sidelines. It makes sense to consider a DVD player only if you have an older, standard-definition TV and don't expect to upgrade soon. (We no longer test standard DVD players, but you can get buying advice here.)
- Security software
Failing to protect your computer from online threats can shorten your machine's life and lead to the theft or corruption of data, including sensitive personal information. But you don't have to spend a lot on security software. We found that free programs are fine for most people.
- E-book readers
E-book readers are portable devices, usually with display screens optimized to show the electronic text of digital books. These electronic book readers are typically larger than cell phones and smaller than most tablet computers. Tablets with e-book apps, Web browsers and more robust processors typically offer more versatile than e-readers.

I read his Tripods trilogy in college after a friend recommended it to
me. I read the prequel afterwards, and unlike some prequels, it is
worth reading.
The first two books of the Tripods trilogy were made into a TV series

"How true Daddy's words were when he said: all children must look after their own upbringing. Parents can only give good advice or put them on the right paths, but the final forming of a person's character lies in their own hands."
~Anne Frank
Crystals to help with sleep and dreaming. My favorites that I use on a regular basis.
Quartz Cluster/Points on Matrix Carved Skullis Skull. :) Very cool!
How dang radical?!!
Phantom crystals are fascinating. If you look closely, you can see a perfect crystal or more inside. This is kind of like the rings in a tree trunk. Visible lines where it stopped growing for a while before breaking free and moving past it's resting place.
To me this is a helpful crystal to focus on when you are stagnant and wanting to grow past where you are. You can meditate upon the phantom inside and draw from the strength of movement that the crystal went through and realize the beauty of the perfection of the place where it stopped.
It is also a good one to reflect on when you are accessing past lives, there is a wealth of information within those phantoms and if you focus on them with a relaxed gaze, perhaps you will be able to remember a snippet or more.
Speaking of past lives, I tend not to think of them in linear time. I believe it is all happening at once and we exist in many dimensions at once but that is a subject for another post.
Try for yourself and see what you come up with.
Smokey grid for protection and the release of negative tendencies. I built this a few weeks back to support me through a bout of depression.
Here we have a grid with the center of Smokey Citrine to release the shadow that is covering my joy. The Smoky Quartz ground me in the present. The Smoky Amethyst scepters are for bringing me back in touch with my dreams and grounding me in my intuition (to trust in my intuition.) There is a Black Tibetan Smokey Quartz in there too. It is there to ground and balance all of my chakras and bring my energetic system back into balance.
Since building this grid, the depression has faded away and I'm feeling more joyful. I am about to thank and release the crystals and build a new grid for the full moon this weekend.
Blue Lace Agate. A wonderful crystal to help with speaking your mind. It is nourishing for the throat chakra, the center of communication. The throat chakra vibrates with the frequency of blue, same as the Blue Lace Agate. I have noticed that many people are blocked in this area, some almost completely. This keeps you from being able to speak your mind.
Try carrying some of this beautiful stone with you, tucked in your pocket or better yet, worn around your neck. Wearing blue is another good way to nourish this chakra.
"Don't be satisfied with stories, how things have gone with others. Unfold your own myth."
The Golden Mean. The Fibonacci sequence which underlies structures from seashells, to pine cones to the very structure of galaxies. These ratios are the structure upon which our realities are hung.
(via amstilldreaming)
Prosperity and Abundance.
This grid is for you all <3

What other readers are saying about this title:
CuriousChristina said:
Overwritten and overwrought, though this for me does not automatically condemn the work. I do think there is a great story submerged in this novel. The prose, the intricate layers of meaning, the bewitching details of life in this time, and my love of the Age of Sail led me to finish the book despite its desperate need of a clear-eyed editor. I was well rewarded as in the last quarter of the book are about 100 pages that are exquisite, full of grace and passion. I do believe, though, that the character of Una would have benefited from a perusal of the Mary Sue Litmus Test. As the story progressed, each time Una met yet another person who immediately recognized her as extraordinary/intelligent/beautiful/desirable, the urge to toss this hefty tome out the window grew. The insertion of the famed persons of that era (who, of course, instantly thought Una remarkable) was gimmicky. I heartily disliked the repeated occurrence of Una in dire straits followed quickly by the appearance (in the next scene or even the next paragraph) of exactly whoever was needed to comfort/rescue her: Mother dies, Susan enters eager to care for Una; Kit forsakes her, Ahab is discovered proclaiming his passion for Una from a church tower. There are only so many times this can happen in a story without it becoming contrived.

Topic - Coffee van at Stanage car park
KINDERgates on 13 Jun 2013
Just wondered if anyone knew whether Nick and Lynn (hope I got their names right; haven't seen them for some time), who had a little coffee/snacks van which was regularly parked up in the Stanage Plantation car park are still running that business. I used to buy a coffee and have a chat with them fairly regularly until I had a serious accident 18 months ago which took me out of the loop for a long time. Called in there this week (mid-June 2013), but they weren't there then - maybe at weekends still? They're a very nice couple, and I hope (as a confirmed "proper coffee" addict!) that they are still supplying this essential service!!

DJ's and the word hate doesn't seem possible, people in the club want to dance and enjoy. Seems like the media loves to use the word hate. Maybe K Humphries would like to enjoy a night out without being bullied by the media. and we don't know if the media is reporting the truth. People he has parents and feeling as well. leave him alone. move on. we don't care.

Kris Humphries Tormented by New York City DJs Playing Songs of Kanye West, Currently Dating Kim Kardashian
Found December 21, 2012 on NESN.com:
PLAYERS: Kris Humphries, Kanye West, Kim Kardashian
TEAMS: Brooklyn Nets
TEAMS: Brooklyn Nets
At this point the story of Kris Humphries and Kim Kardashian's ill-fated 72-day marriage old news. However, the punchlines that followed can still be funny. Case in point, Humphries can't even head from Brooklyn into Manhattan without hearing about it from the DJs at his favorite clubs. According to the New York Daily News, Humphries went to a club called WIP on Wednesday night — after a 100-86 loss to the crosstown Knicks — and DJs Chuck Barrett and Scram Jones played consecutive Kanye West songs (West is currently dating Kardashian) specifically to anger Humphries. The forward was apparently quite forward with many of the women in the club but getting nowhere, and combined with the West songs escalated into a situation. "He took a bottle of Patron that he didn't pay for, put it in front of his crotch and dumped the entire thing on the floor, because he was wasted and tired of Kanye songs," a source told the Daily News. "Not only was he acting like he was peeing the bottle out, he ...

The Jagermeister Music tour treated heavy metal fans to ear-splitting performances Friday night by Slayer, Megadeth and Anthrax. Slayer seemed to have the most fans, but each band received an enthusiastic greeting.
And while the AJC wasn't there to review it, AJC photographer Robb Cohen was covering the show with his camera. Click on this link to view the 20-photo online gallery: Slayer, Anthrax, Megadeth: Triple metal threat . What do you think of this combination of bands? Who was your favorite?

Anthrax was really good, Megadeth was awesome, Slayer was incredible! I'd describe Slayer's performance as a musical B-52 strike! Those guys don't mess around at all when it comes to metal, and we got a full dose!
What a stunning performance it was, for us old dudes and kids alike.

My first time seeing Anthrax & Slayer sense I missed the Clash Of The Titans tour in 1991. It was great seeing Megadeth's stage set props that I got to see in December 1990 and and again on the 20th anniversary of Rust In Pice. Megadeth was professional & flawless. Slayer was LOUD if now LOUDER as they mad the arena concrete vibrate. Slayer also played faster than I've ever herd them play.I was just amazed with Slayer's drummer being able to play that fast all through their set.
I saw that guy in the wheelchair crowd surfing. I was like did I just see what I just saw? I did and it was happening. I still can't believe I witnessed this moment in a live metal concert. BEST CROWD SURFER EVER! I noticed he has a Slayer shirt on, so Slayer fans are extreme even though this was during Megadeth.
Megadeth was my favorite band of the night!

I'm glad the guy got to crowd surf, I would hate being a metalhead confined to a wheelchair. Im in one of the pictures up there and I was definitely cheering on the almighty MEGADETH!!!! What an amazing show all around.

Great show by all three bands! Slayer rules! I was at Clash of Titans in 1991 and this show was even more brutal! Keep in mind I'm 55 and saw Led Zeppelin in 1970. Been rockin ever since. I want to thank the girl from Columbia at Follies who gave me a great lap dance before the show at a local strip club! She rules also!

Awesome show…Anthrax was totally extreme playing old school tunes like Metal Thrashing Mad, Madhouse and AIR (Anti-social totally rocked).
Megadeth was AMAZING…what a lineup…they're were freaking PERFECT.
Slayer is SLAYER! So fast and so awesome…
Best show I've seen in a LONG time…

Three fourth-quarter Quinton Turner interceptions helped Miller Grove hold off Lithonia in a 27-6 victory Friday.
Playing from behind pretty much all night, the Bulldogs (0-2) had their shots to catch back up late. But all three of their final-quarter possessions ended with the ball in Turner's hands.
The first two of those found them in Miller Grove territory, fighting for a touchdown that could have made it a one-score game. But on both, Turner got defensive position from the right corner and snagged the Rashan Sullivan pass to thwart the opportunity.
The second one was the biggest, with Lithonia on the Miller Grove 15-yard line, down just 21-6 with more than 8 minutes left.
Turner sat back on the play and just waited for the ball to come in his direction.
"It was a 10-yard out," Turner said. "I just read the quarterback's eyes, and I got it."
It's the type of play Miller Grove coach Damien Wimes has come to expect from his junior defensive back, who is turning into one of the better young corners in the area.
"He played a very good game," Wimes said. "He's a very smart, very cerebral player. He baited the quarterback (on the second interception). He does that in practice a lot. That's what smart players do."
On the offensive side, the Wolverines (1-0) had a strong three-man backfield, combining for 246 yards. That group was led by Royal Lee, who ran for a game-high 103 yards on nine carries, including three touchdowns coming on his first three carries of the game.
The second was the longest run of the game, following a Jonquavious McBride blocked punt. Miller Grove started at the Lithonia 37-yard line and, two penalties later, were staring at a second-and-31 play from their own 42.
That was when Lee burst through the left side for an untouched 58-yard scamper that put Miller Grove up 15-0 after a two-point conversion.
Wimes said they never know who will be the main guy in the backfield on any given night, and some of knowing where the carries will go comes with a feel for his guys.
"Royal was hot tonight," Wimes said. "We kind of look for the hot hand. Some of it is dictated by formations. After that, we just go with who's hot."
M – Royal Lee 1 run (Kwame Simon kick)
M – Lee 58 run (Myles Hughes pass from Chris Berry)
L – Kevin Hudson 3 run (pass failed)
M – Lee 2 run (kick failed)
M – Myles Hughes 19 pass from Ken Allen (kick failed)
