Legalize all drugs, marijuana, cocaine, heroin, etc. Treat drugs like tobacco and alcohol. The "War" on drugs is no more effective than prohibition in the 1920s/1930s. It has been lost. All it does is give the drug cartels a tremendous boost. Release all the prisoners who have been convicted of using. Use the money saved on rehabilition programs. Insitiute mandatory blood tests for anyone suspected of driving under the influence. This will put the cartels out of the drug business just like it took organized crime out of the booze business. Once the novelty wears off, it will beno big deal. Remember that all this stuff used to be legal.

Of all the ways to deal with teenage rebellion, I think the best I've heard so far is President Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama's strategy, revealed on the Today show this morning:
"What we've said to the girls is, 'If you guys ever decided you're going to get a tattoo, then mommy and me will get the exact same tattoo in the same place. And we'll go on YouTube and show it off as a family tattoo.' And our thinking is that might dissuade them from thinking that somehow that's a good way to rebel."
Brilliant! Every teen's worst fear is being embarrassed, especially by his or her parents (my daughter's almost 12 and already I'm getting the panicked tugs on my sleeve and death glare when she thinks I'm about to say something reputation-damaging in front of her friends). The Obamas' genius idea got us thinking ... what other forms of teenage rebellion could potentially be curbed by the threat of parental humiliation?
1. Wearing risque and/or ridiculous clothing.
Imagine how horrified your daughter would be if you went out and bought a short shorts and bandeau top ensemble identical to the one she thinks she can wear to school! Or the look on your son's face when his dad starts wearing his pants super-low with his boxers sticking out the top!
2. Speaking exclusively in slang.
For maximum embarrassment, use this tactic when your teen's boyfriend/girlfriend comes to the door: "What up, Jessica? You heard the thunderstorm last night? That sh*t cray! Oh well, YOLO."
More from The Stir: 10 Tattoos to Skip If You Want a 'Real' Job
3. Getting multiple piercings.
As with tattoos, this threat works best BEFORE the actual body modification takes place. "Don't you think Grandma will love my nipple rings?"
4. Using drugs and/or alcohol.
Can you think of a bigger buzzkill than your mom and dad joining the party uninvited? "Hey kids, we brought the rolling papers!"
5. Having sex.
Guaranteed turn-off: Your parents making out at the dinner table. In the car. On the couch. With any luck, your kid will be grossed out all through college!
Have you ever tried to embarrass your teen?

XD if my parents said that stuff about tattoos, I'd get something so awful in the worst place ever just to be a jerk.
I think its awful to try and control what your kids do once they hit the legal age of consent to do whatever they please with their own body. Shameful.
And I highly doubt Obama would get say, a butterfly on his hip. Lol THAT would be comical and worth reading about.
my dad did that once in the car blasting his "oldie" music; think it was CCR. didn't bug me but it annoyed the hell outta my sister.
Jeesh Bills!I've been away for awhile,so seeing your "warning" made me feel all warm and fuzzy.Hope you're on the mend.
Puff piece with random political crap in the comments, I think I just threw up in my mouth

About Leard State Forest
Leard State Forest is 8000 hectares of bushland located between Narrabri and Boggabri in north west NSW. The nearest township is the farming community of Maules Creek, which sits at the foothills of the Nandewar Range.
Leard State Forest includes the most extensive and intact stands of the nationally-listed and critically endangered Box-Gum Woodland remaining on the Australian continent. The forest is home to 396 species of plants and animals and includes habitat for 34 threatened species and several endangered ecological communities.
The coal mines
Open-cut coal mining threatens to destroy more than half of the Leard State Forest. Two open-cut coal mines are already operating and have approval to expand further into Leard State Forest. A third open-cut coal mine is approved and expected to begin production in 2015.
Together these mines will clear approximately 5000 hectares - that's more than half - of Leard State Forest, and produce 20 million tonnes of coal that will be transported by rail to the Port of Newcastle for export.
- Boggabri Coal (operated by Idemitsu): Boggabri Coal is an open-cut coal mine located in Leard State Forest about 17 kilometres north east of Boggabri. It is wholly owned and operated by Idemitsu. The mine produces thermal, PCI, and semi-soft coking coal. It is approved to expand operations further into Leard State Forest to extract 7 million tonnes per year and operate for another 21 years.
- Tarrawonga (operated by Whitehaven): Production started at Tarrawonga in 2006. The mine is located on the outskirts of Leard State Forest, and 15 kilometres east of Boggabri. The mining project is a joint venture between Whitehaven Coal (70%) and Idemitsu (30%). The joint venture is managed by its majority partner, Whitehaven Coal. This open-cut coal mine produces both semi-soft coking coal and export thermal coal. The mine resources can support operations for about 20 years, producing 3 million tonnes per year. Plans to expand this mine east into Leard State Forest have government approval.
- Maules Creek Project (proposed by Whitehaven): The Maules Creek Coal Project will be a 2000 hectare open-cut project located in the heart of Leard Forest, approximately 18 kilometres north east of Boggabri. The mining project is a joint venture between Whitehaven Coal (75%), ITOCHU (15%), and J-Power (10%). The joint venture is managed by its majority partner, Whitehaven Coal. The mine is approved to extract up to 13 million tonnes of coal annually and is estimated to producegreenhouse gas emissions of about 30 million tonnes of C02 equivalent per year*. The Maules Creek Coal Project is expected to operate in excess of 30 years. ANZ bank has provided a loan to Whitehaven Coal to fund the Maules Creek project.
The camp to protect Leard State Forest
Front Line Action on Coal (FLAC) is the first blockade camp of a coal mine in Australia's history. The camp has existed for over a year. It began at a location in Leard State Forest, and is now on farm land at the nearby village of Maules creek. The camp is committed to non-violent direct action to protect the forest and nearby farm land and water resources from coal mining.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
I'm disappointed in Blizzard. Surely they're within their legal rights to send a C&D, although it is a bit inconsistent considering the amount of WoW-related stuff on the net. And as Eliah speculates, it probably means that Blizzard is developing an app of their own, but in that I have two issues with them. One, just because they're developing an app does not mean that it will ever be released. Why take down something that is available now over the possibility that a Blizzard app will be available in the future? Secondly, money may be the issue here. Not in that the Armory Browser is charging $.99 but in that Blizzard may be planning on charging a lot more and an inexpensive competitor would undermine their profits.
TotalBiscuit said...
Your point is little more than speculation without a basis in fact. There isn't any evidence to suggest that Blizzard is developing it's own app and historically has not taken action against sites or tools that have done the things that Blizzard has later put into the game (mods, profiling sites etc). Since they have also not made any threats towards the Warcraft Characters apps, it would be safe to conclude that the sole issue here is the blatant profiteering. Blizzard's legal and moral position is entirely defensible. It says "Feel free to make things based around our game, but once you start charging for them without permission, you're going to get a slap on the wrist".
Blizzard has always been very trigger happy when it comes to lawsuits. They protect their IP very aggressively, which is funny considering the origin.
The bnetd suit just showed how Blizzard doesn't care about "community" or "fair use" or even consumer rights in general and their stance in the new gold selling case is just about as radical.
So not really a huge surprise at all.
TotalBiscuit said...
On the contrary, they are very concerned about their community, hence the reason they only take action against those they perceive as harmful to it. Gold-sellers are self explanatory. Bnetd? Reverse engineering Blizzard code to provide private Bnet hosting? What exactly was the purpose of that, how did it benefit the community? The answer is it didn't, it benefited software pirates. Blizzard are not trigger-happy when it comes to litigation at all, indeed, when they do act, it is in a calculated manner, and targets those who seek to either profit from Blizzard's work unfairly, harm the community, or both.
Those who talk about the 'wider implications' of cases such as these often don't have a clue what they're saying. Any precedent that comes from any of these cases has a very strict interpretation and is only binding in cases which are almost if not entirely identical. These kind of things seem to get open-source advocates and the overly liberal agitated, nothing more.
I'm not an open source advocate nor am I overly liberal, please try not to label me as such in the future.
My comment about Blizzard not caring about their community might have been misguided and too hastily typed - I have no insight into their internal company "culture" or processes and I'm sure they do care about their paying customers.
As far as I know (I'm not a laywer) you don't need to have a "purpose" to reverse engineer software. Reverse engineering is perfectly legal in most countries as long as the original was obtained legimately.
You could argue the free hosting didn't benefit community and it only benefitted software pirates - my experience was completely different, most servers were/are setup with legal copies of the game. It also ensures you could still run the game through bentd even if Blizzard would choose to close Battle.Net (or if it was unavailable). As a consumer and a community member, I would argue it benefited both consumers and the community.
I certainly don't claim to have any 'clue' about the wider implications of the ruling when it comes to its legal aspects, as I said I'm not an lawyer.
However, I do work in the software business and the ruling does cast some doubt over whether I should really engage in otherwise lawful reverse engineering (rev.engineering competitors products is quite normal), this can be quite agitating, as you pointed out.

25 life rules that no longer apply
You can't teach an old dog new tricks
Au contraire! Older students, from seniors with a thirst for knowledge to thirty-somethings with a need for new or updated job skills, are embracing lifelong learning. That trend really started to take off in the 1970s, when colleges and universities noticed that a growing percentage of their students were "non-traditional" and looking for a different kind of educational experience than the typical incoming freshman. Today, online classes and degree programs, more frequent career changes, and aging baby boomers have combined to make lifelong learning the new normal.
No sex before marriage
Some people are still adamant about this rule, often on religious grounds, but the majority no longer views premarital sex as immoral. Yet while attitudes may have changed, behavior hasn't. According to a study published in 2006, almost all Americans have sex before marriage—and always have, at least as far back as the data goes—leading researchers to question whether any period of significant premarital chastity ever really existed.
Marijuana is bad
Not according to voters in Washington and Colorado, who voted in 2012 to legalize personal use of the drug. And not according to many doctors in 18 states and the District of Columbia, who prescribe marijuana to help patients suffering from chronic pain, nausea and other symptoms related to dozens of illnesses ranging from cancer to glaucoma. Although the U.S. government still classifies marijuana as an illegal substance, the feds are taking a hands-off approach to enforcement of the law. Meanwhile, polls show that a growing majority of Americans nationwide believe marijuana should be legal.
Men seldom make passes at girls who wear glasses
This may have been a commonly held belief when Dorothy Parker, celebrated New York author and member of the Algonquin Roundtable, wrote the line in the 1920s. Today, however, eyewear has become a sexy fashion accessory for both men and women, one that can enhance any look.
Pride goeth before a fall
The meaning of this paraphrased biblical quotation has become as twisted as the quote itself (the original is, "Pride goeth before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall"). Pride is listed as one of the seven deadly sins, but instead of understanding pride to mean hubris or arrogance, many people started equating healthy self-esteem with the sin of pride. Excessive humility is as bad as arrogance, and just as destructive. These days, taking pride in yourself, your family and your accomplishments is not only permitted, it's recommended.
People retire at age 65
Yes, they do. They also retire at 75 and 85 and, well, never. People today are living longer and healthier lives. Many choose to keep working as long as they can. Others don't have a choice; their lack of savings or wayward investments have left them without enough money to stop working at what some still consider the traditional retirement age of 65. But even people who retire from their primary careers often find new occupations as volunteers, consultants, or part-time workers.
Everyone needs three square meals a day
Breakfast, lunch and dinner has been the standard pattern of human nourishment almost since our ancestors descended from the trees, but many experts now believe it may not be the best approach. Dividing your daily calories among six or more small meals, rather than three big ones, can help to regulate blood sugar, keep metabolism steady and control unhealthy cravings, which can make it easier to lost weight and maintain good health.
Tanning gives your skin a healthy glow
There is no such thing as a healthy tan, according to the Skin Cancer Foundation and other leading experts. "There is no degree of tanning, whether from natural sunlight or artificial light . . . that can be considered safe," says Dr. Francesca Fusco, assistant clinical professor of dermatology at Mt. Sinai School of Medicine in New York City, who advises people to use a broad-spectrum sunscreen (to block both UVA and UVB rays) and to take other steps to protect their skin. "Damage to your skin from the sun — and tanning beds — can happen in just minutes from exposure to ultraviolet rays."
Never wear white after Labor Day
This rule was fashion law through the 1950s and continued to influence many of our style choices for much longer. It started with a ban on white shoes after the unofficial end of summer, but eventually expanded to include all types of white clothing. Yet this once ironclad seasonal taboo no longer applies. Today, even the most stylish people wear white after Labor Day.
No pain, no gain
This catchy slogan—the mantra for generations of athletes and other high achievers—is somewhat passé these days. Although there is certainly great value in challenging yourself to move outside your comfort zone, real pain is your body's way of telling you that something is wrong and you need to slow down, not push harder.

This Tobacco Company Is a Bit More Ethical than Others
By Phillip Woolgar - August 19, 2013 | Tickers: MO, BTI, LO
The business model of tobacco companies is relatively flawless. These companies are selling a highly addictive substance to the general population, and this means that they can raise prices will little effect on sales.

Will E-Cigarettes Destroy Big Tobacco?

How to Profit Off of a New Trend

All of these headwinds would lead one to think that this industry should be avoided at all costs. In this case, however, many tobacco companies have been wise enough to realize that when there's more »

Sky-High Dividends for a Faltering Industry: Does Tobacco Still Have Potential?

The FDA Presents Another Great Buying Opportunity
By Marshall Hargrave - July 30, 2013 | Tickers: MO, LO, RAIAll the major tobacco companies saw a nice pullback last week as renewed concerns surfaced surrounding the FDA and menthol cigarettes, with my personal favorite, Lorillard (NYSE: LO), down over 5.5%.
Fellow contributor Robert Ciura notes that he would avoid both Reynolds American (NYSE: RAI) and Lorillard due to their exposure to the methanol brands, where Lorillard has the key menthol brand Newport, and Reynolds sells Salem. cigarettes.

Slow and Steady Wins the Race in This Industry
By Bob Ciura - July 25, 2013 | Tickers: MO, LO, RAI |
The tobacco industry is not a haven for growth investors, nor should it be. Consumers continue the trend toward healthier living, and the decline of smokers has put a lid on growth. That's largely behind the sell-off in Altria Group (NYSE: MO) after releasing second quarter earnings.
The market was clearly disappointed by the company's 5% growth in adjusted diluted earnings per share, but this serves as yet more »
Tobacco Can Mean Big Returns, But Wait for a Better Entry
By Matthew Frankel - July 22, 2013 | Tickers: MO, LO, PM, RAI
The tobacco companies have always been excellent dividend payers, but after a rapid gain like the one just experienced in the market, it becomes more important to figure out whether or not your favorite dividend stocks are worth getting into.

Is Philip Morris' Only Problem the Strong US Dollar?
By Rupert Hargreaves - July 22, 2013 | Tickers: MO, LO, PM
Philip Morris International's (NYSE: PM) second-quarter results were a mixed bag. The EPS came in below estimates but this was almost expected considering the company's exposure to currency fluctuations. Indeed, with almost all of Philip Morris' revenue coming from outside of the US but the company reporting in dollars, dollar strength was bound to hit earnings. Still, after excluding the currency effects, earnings per share were up $0 more »
Should You Invest in International or Domestic Tobacco Stocks?
By Leo Sun - July 19, 2013 | Tickers: MO, LO, PM
Philip Morris International (NYSE: PM), the second largest tobacco company in the world, recently stumbled after reporting second quarter earnings that came in below analyst estimates. The international maker of Marlboro cigarettes, which is often vilified for its heavy-handed presence in developing nations, blamed lower global demand and unfavorable exchange rates for the slowdown in its top and bottom-line growth.
Second quarter earnings were a drag

Two Tobacco Companies Worth Owning
By Lior Cohen - July 12, 2013 | Tickers: MO, LO, RAI
The decline in number of smokers in the U.S hasn't stopped leading tobacco companies to maintain their high profit margins. Furthermore, some companies such as Lorillard (NYSE: LO) were able to show growth in revenues as e-cigarette market continues to rise. Let's take a closer look at two tobacco companies Lorillard and Reynolds American (NYSE: RAI) worth owning.

Which Tobacco Company Offers the Best Returns?
By Rupert Hargreaves - July 11, 2013 | Tickers: MO, LO, PM, RAI
Tobacco companies are well known for their free cash flows, which allow them to return large amounts of cash to investors through stock repurchase programs and dividends. However, with each company providing equally impressive returns, which offers investors the most by way of cash returns?
Altria (NYSE: MO) does not offer much in the way of stock repurchases but the company offers a dividend yield of around 5%. On the more »
Tobacco Stocks with Upside and Yield
By Damon Churchwell - July 9, 2013 | Tickers: MO, BTI, LO, RAI
Tobacco stocks are typically high dividend payers and report consistent earnings trends. Currently, with investors shifting to more aggressive stances and bidding up shares of growth companies, high-yielding equities have been left behind. In fact, the majority of dividend stocks appear to be trading below their 50-day moving averages, lagging the moderate increase in the S&P 500 average over the second quarter.

3 Companies You Won't Want to Miss

According to Wells Fargo, the e-cigarette market in the U.S. will be $1 billion this year, and it will increase to $10 billion by 2017. This trend will be beneficial for the cigarette manufacturing companies, as these companies are facing headwinds from high tax rates, increasingly strict government rules and declining sales of traditional cigarettes. Tobacco companies are diverting their focus to e-cigarettes and increasing their marketing budgets for more »
Be a Seller of Volatility

Why You Should Include These Tobacco Companies in Your Portfolio

Despite having some room left for growth, I am particularly interested in the substantial dividend yields that some tobacco companies like Altria (NYSE: MO), Lorillard (NYSE: LO), and Reynolds American (NYSE: RAI) offer. Let's take a closer look at them in order to understand if they stand as good investment opportunities for the more »
Dividend Health in These Major Tobacco Stocks
By Anthony Parsons - June 26, 2013 | Tickers: MO, LO, RAI
This article will take a look at three high-dividend-paying tobacco stocks that are some of the biggest tobacco companies in the world. It will look at how safe I believe their dividends to be. Additionally, I will make a case that these companies can not only safely maintain their dividends, but that they also are poised to continue raising them.
The three companies we will focus on today include Reynolds more »
Continue Buying the Smoking-Hot Cigarette Stocks
By Mark Holder - June 26, 2013 | Tickers: MO, LO, RAI
The cigarette stocks remain hot as high yields and steady growth have led to strong stock gains. Many an investor has overlooked the sector due to perceived negatives of the industry, but for an investor looking for yields and growth the sector should not be ignored.
Right now the leading domestic cigarette stocks of Altria (NYSE: MO), Lorillard (NYSE: LO), and Reynolds America (NYSE: RAI) all maintain dividend yields of more »
Why This Stock Will Smoke the Competition
By Marshall Hargrave - June 26, 2013 | Tickers: MO, LO, RAI
What does it take to separate yourself in the tobacco industry? All the companies are inherently tied to tobacco consumption, tobacco taxes and tobacco regulation. The U.S. is dominated by three manufacturers, including Altria (NYSE: MO), which sells roughly half of the nearly 500 billion cigarettes sold in the U.S., Reynolds American (NYSE: RAI) and the Loews subsidiary Lorillard Tobacco (NYSE: LO).

People are always dependent on what medications could provide them. You have to bear in mind that you still have to look on the natural side of the medications you use. Probably, you are missing the point that you are only inducing chemicals in your body, which could be risky to your health. Bear in mind the too much or lower amounts of nutrients in your body could be dangerous. What more if you would point out to the levels of chemicals in your body.
For instance, you want to treat your stretch marks and you wonder what type of vitamin would help you. Basically, there are various nutrients that could help you with your problem, such as vitamin C. Vitamin C is among the vital vitamins for healthier skin. However, how does vitamin C helps your skin? To give you ideas, here are its skin benefits:
- Antioxidants
You could be certain that with enough vitamin C, you would get necessary antioxidants for your skin. These are helpful in combating aging signs, which commonly affect your skin. Vitamin C helps in various functions in your body. Particularly, it could help in the improvement of your immune system to fight out various invaders in your skin. In addition to this, it could even help in supporting your cardiovascular system, as well as the collagen production in your skin.
- Reduction of Sunburn
Vitamin C would also help your skin against the harmful rays of the sun, specifically the exposure of your skin from ultraviolet B radiation. Basically, it would help in reducing the consequences brought by long term sun exposure. As a result, you would find it easy to prevent skin cancers. This protection would also call for the antioxidants provided by the vitamin.
- Hyperpigmentation
It is also stated that vitamin C would help in brightening your skin. In that case, it would help you reduce stretch marks also by reducing the different streaks of mark colors on your skin. In fact, it could even reduce the discoloration of your skin that is caused by your sun exposure. If you would use vitamin C, you would definitely find it easy to get a non-chemical means of lightening your skin.
- Reduce Wrinkles
It would help reduce the fine lines and wrinkles on your skin. Basically, this could be done effectively by vitamin C through firming and tightening your skin. It would also promote the elasticity of your skin. Vitamin C directly targets the elastin and collagen in your skin. As a result, you would find it easy to retain the healthy and young appearance of your skin.
- Immune Properties
You would be guaranteed that with vitamin C, the strength of your immune system would even be improved, which would help you minimize the effects of smoking and pollution on your skin. It could even promote the renewal of cells and increase in circulation of your blood.
The above skin benefits of vitamin C just show that the vitamin would indeed be effective for your stretch mark removal.

Assassin's Creed III is an action-adventure game that takes place during the events of the American Revolution. You will get to explore 18th century Boston, New York in detail as the game is set in an open world environment which allows free movement. Played from a third-person perspective, the primary objective is to use your stealth skills to track and get close to your target before attacking him. This game is the fifth major installment in the series and a direct sequel to Assassin's Creed: Revelations that came out in 2011.
Stealth action gamers will love this game with its improved graphics, gameplay, story and game physics. This version of Assassin's Creed III is for the Xbox 360 console and features both single player and multiplayer modes. This action-adventure stealth game is rated M for Mature 17+ by ESRB and 18 and above by Pegi as it may contain intense violence, blood and gore, sexual content and strong language. The game is developed by Ubisoft Montreal and published by Ubisoft.
Synopsis and Features
Assassin's Creed III starts in the present day with Desmond using the machine known as the Animus to relive the memories of his ancestors to find a clue as to how to stop the catastrophic events of December 21, 2012. You play Desmond's ancestor Ratonhnhake:ton who is half-English and half-Mohawk. He is one of the guardians of the Grand Temple and gets to speak to Juno who warns him that if he does not leave his tribe to find his destiny everyone will suffer. Juno asks him to find Achilles Davenport, a master assassin to help in training and shows Ratonhnhake:ton the symbol of the Assassins.
Ratonhnhake:ton takes on the name Connor to be able to blend in more easily in town. Achilles makes him a full-fledged member of the Assassin's Brotherhood after completion of his training. Connor then sets out to kill the Colonial Templars who were the cause of much harm to his tribe. New features such as double-counters, multiple takedowns and chain kills have been introduced to add more excitement to the game. Dual-wielding of weapons has also been introduced, allowing Connor to attack with both hands making him even more deadly. New weapons include a tomahawk, flintlock, hidden blades, pistol, rope darts and the bow and arrow.
The standard target locking system has been removed and replaced with the much more effective automated enemy selection system that helps you attack faster. This open environment game allows you to explore the city at will and even climb up building to spy on a target. The game runs on Ubisoft's advanced Anvil Next game engine which is incredible at delivering smooth gameplay and brilliant graphics.

Yes, that's right folks!
It is as a beautiful game to look at just as brilliant it is to play.
There are varied missions, diverse environments and most importantly it is set during the historical American Revolution.
The sound, graphics, gameplay are all top notch.
But the real winner in this game have to be the side missions. It includes hunting more than 20 species of wildlife, building and populating the homestead, naval battles(only few are part of the story), exploring tunnels, searching for almanac pages and clues for Kidd's treasure and lots more.

I know some of the guys here preordered and didn't get on the first day. Me too. But please don't give low star rating, as it might give bad impression on the game.
I am playing this game, and to say abt this, this is the best AC game, ever. There are some points where you could get stuck, but, be patient. The graphic quality is just awesome.
Apart from Far Cry 3, Assassins Creed 3 is the best game in Ubisoft series and AC series!
No matter what the other negative reviewers say, don't believe in them. BUY IT, KNOW IT how does it feels to revolutionize the Great American Revolution!

The Fiesta Bowl has a lot to live up to after a great day of college football and that means we're expecting some great football out of the Baylor Bears and UCF Knights in our other major BCS bowl game of the day. After an epic Rose Bowl finish, the Fiesta Bowl needs to be memorable but right off the bat it started drifting in the wrong direction.
UCF kicker Sean Galvin lined up for the usual kickoff that every kick makes a thousand times in their careers. Even college kickers routinely make kickoffs in their careers, but this one seems to have gotten the better of Galvin as he tripped and fell on the most hilarious kickoff fail you'll see all bowl season long.
Kickers own kickoffs, but it's clear that kickoffs are fighting back and trying to take over the world in an epic revolt. That, or Galvin will never live down the moment he tripped on a routine kickoff on national television.

There seems to be a glitch with the set-top box I have. Has this problem happened before? I have a digital set-top box with the DVR built in. The thing that the box is doing is when switching from Non-HD channels to HD channels, you have to turn the box off so it will reset and then turn it back on. It seems while you are switiching channels within Non-HD channels it works fine and the same with switching channels within the HD channels. Why is this occurring? I am using a HDMI cable with the TV. Can anyone shed some light on this. Thanks.

Bill -
It sounds like the dreaded HDMI bug. Some TV / STB combinations have problems when switching content from SD to HD over HDMI. What is your 4:3 override set to? Try the "OFF" position which outputs SD upconverted to the HD resolution.
You could also try using component (red / green / blue RCA jacks) which will give full HD resolution and depending on your TV and eye may or may not be a degradation of the HD image.
Bill turn off 4:3 override in your video settings on the box
Menu, Settings, Video settings then turn off 4:3 override
BassBob - It is a new TV - A Toshiba 40 inch LCD HDTV with 1080P. I was wondering if you could use instead of a HDMI cable if you could use a S-Video cable. Would that solve the problem? Just a thought. I will also look into turning off the 4:3 over ride in the STB.
Keyboards - Thanks for the information. The TV I just purchased a couple of days ago. It is a Toshiba 40 inch LCD 1080p HDTV. It seems to be a new model which just came out. I will try the off position on the 4:3 over ride. I was also thinking of maybe using an S-Video cable. I am sure those cables also carry an HD signal.
No, the S-Video cable will not carry the HD signal, you need to use HDMI or component cables.
I have seen reports of a variety of TV brands having HDMI handshake problems with Motorola STBs, Toshiba being one of them. The previous advice to change the 4:3 Override setting to Off almost certainly will fix the problem. I have used Off for over 3 years, works great, and eliminated a 3-4 second delay when changing between SD and HD channels, in either direction, with my Sony TV (the TV and STB needed to resync, and that took time, way too much time for me).

Hey Justin.....
I went into the set top box and went through the menus. I saw a catagory that said SD Override. The choices were like 480i and some others along with being able to set it off. I set it to off and then went to the non-HD channels.
After that, I punched in a channel that was in HD and it worked. It went back to the HD channel without having to turn off the TV and the set top box. Thanks everyone for the good advice. Having to reset every time was getting
a little annoying. I wonder why by setting it to off it allows it "skip" more freely? Thanks again.
First off, its good to hear that making that change seems to have helped.
I never experienced the complete hang or stall that you experienced, but I did experience a consistent, long delay when switching between SD and HD channels, As I said in my earlier post, it appeared to be a re-synchronization between the TV and the STB; I could see the LEDs on the STB blink each time I switched between HD and SD or SD and HD, just like they do when I first turn on the TV and it goes through the HDMI handshake to synchronize things. For me, it just manifested itself as a very slow channel change that drove me nuts.
Hope things work well from now on.

This happens because when the 480 override is set to "off", it makes the Motorola box internally upconvert the SD channels' signals (480i) to the box's HD resolution setting first, before sending the signal to the TV.
So your TV then "sees" every channel signal sent in to it as a "1080i HD" signal, & doesn't have to "Re-sync" to an incomming 480i signal.
Many people feel that most TV's do a better job of upconverting than letting the cable box's circuits do it, & leave the 480 override in the natural "unaltered" 480i signal state .... But in your case your TV won't work correctly set like that.

'A Grand Night For Singing'
The Henegar Center for the Arts in Melbourne's downtown theatre district has announced its spring musical, "A Grand Night For Singing," the Tony Award-nominated musical revue by Rodgers and Hammerstein. The show will run through Sunday, March 24.
"A Grand Night For Singing" opened the 1994 Broadway season with flair and distinction, earning two Tony nominations, including Best Musical.
Rodgers and Hammerstein's founding fathers probably never imagined "Shall We Dance?" as a comic pas de deux for a towering beauty and her diminutive admirer, nor did they suspect that one day a lovelorn young lad might pose the musical question. "How do you solve a problem like Maria?" But that's precisely the kind of invention lavished upon this revue, with innovative musical arrangements, including a sultry Andrews Sisters-esque "I'm Gonna Wash That Man Right Out-a My Hair," a swingin' "Honeybun" worthy of the Modernaires, and a jazzy "Kansas City," which leaves no question about how terrifically up-to-date the remarkable songs of R&H remain.
Featuring beloved songs from "The King and I," "South Pacific," "State Fair" and more, the play provides new life for these signature songs, echoing the timelessness of Rodgers and Hammerstein's work.
"A Grand Night For Singing" is directed by Maureen Fallon, and the talented vocal cast includes Sean Alton, Jessie Armstrong, Walter Clapp, Margaret Cross, Don Cross, Joseph Held, Rob Landers, Michelle Lee, Shari Milian and Tee Rockwell.
Sue Diebel is conducting the eight-piece orchestra that will be performing onstage in the garden party setting.
Don't miss this magical, musical revue at the Henegar Center for the Arts at 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday, with a Sunday matinee at 2 p.m. at the Henegar Center for the Arts, 625 E. New Haven Ave., in Melbourne's Downtown Theatre District.
Tickets cost $23 for adults, $21 for seniors and $16 for students, plus handling fees. Reserved tickets may be purchased at the Henegar Center Box Office Monday through Friday.
'Love, sex and the I.R.S.'
Surfside Players ushers in the tax season with the farce "Love, Sex and the I.R.S." by William Van Zandt and Jane Millmore, directed by Troy Jones.
Tax season is upon us, and if you're looking for ways to score a refund, here's an example of what not to do.
"Jon Trachtman" and "Leslie Arthur," out-of-work musicians rooming together in New York, are listing each other as married on tax returns to save money.
The day of reckoning comes when the I.R.S. informs the "couple" they're going to be investigated by a "Mr. Spinner."
Leslie masquerades as a housewife, aided by Jon's fiancee Kate. Complicating matters further, Leslie and Kate are having an affair behind Jon's back, Jon's mother drops in unexpectedly to meet her son's fiancee, and Leslie's ex-girlfriend shows up demanding to know why Leslie has changed and won't see her anymore.
The show will run through Sunday, March 24, Friday and Saturday at 8 p.m. and Sunday at 2 p.m.

Funny Salvador Pictures
Salvador Dali. Kind of makes me wonder if great artists would make use of today's modern technology for their paintings...
Member reactions:
Superb.. This is in keeping with 2012 theme of the contest. I believe that your image of Dali was probably a B+W, that you colorized - nicely. I do wonder if Dali would have gone to digital over manual painting. He really, really had complete control of his drafting, drawing and painting gifts. (And he was truly gifted.) Would he have worked digitally. Does manipulating pixels offer the same freedom of canvas and related media. How many of us are artists. We try to do our best.
Great job you put his art in a System really a freaking thought

from the diary: "Sunday 3/10/86
Mr. Popper's Penguins "irritated me because the characters wondered, 'Gee, why aren't there any penguins in the Arctic? Wouldn't it be a great idea to make up where silly old nature was deficient and plop some penguins down there?' Sadly, the [flightless] great auk, the first to hold the name 'penguin,' was just as delightful and fearless as the southern penguin. Nature was very generous in her supply of great auks. Mr. Popper's ancestor's (and mine, more's the pity) took their liberties with the auks, wiping them completely from the face of the earth. I find it hard to 'wow' over Mr. Popper's good-heartedness and awesome ignornace."

Gaborik eyes Sunday for returnPosted on March 19th, 2009 – 11:41 AM
By Brian Stensaas
Big news out of Wild practice today. Barring any setbacks, Marian Gaborik said he feels he will return to the lineup Sunday afternoon against Edmonton.
Gaborik will travel with the team to New Jersey this afternoon. But he said playing tomorrow night against the Devils is unlikely. Instead, he'll wait for the Oilers.
"We'll probably shoot for Sunday's game," Gaborik said after an hourlong practice this morning. "Hopefully everything will progress. Hopefully I'll be more pain free each day and go from there."
Gaborik has played in just six games this season and underwent hip surgery Jan 5.
Coach Jacques Lemaire has said all along that the decision to return is the player's. So this means it is a good bet Sunday will be the day.
Gaborik today skated on a line with Peter Olvecky and Dan Fritsche – two lineup regulars.
"I don't feel 100 percent; I don't feel close to 100 percent," Gaborik said. "I don't think I will be playing to my potential until next year. But I want to get close to it. Obviously to be out there, to do drills, to laugh, to just have fun out there. It's been a long time since I experienced it. Hopefully it will translate into games."
So there you have it. Sounds like the next 24 hours are big, pain-wise.
As if Wild fans aren't smiling enough at this news, here's another nugget you might like:
A certain young player was filling out his NCAA basketball bracket this morning and was told to just write UCONN should he fancy the Huskies. He did – only on the sheet, he printed "Yukon."
Good day!
