I still think it will be in LA. Blizz headquarters is in Anaheim and they use a lot of their staff during the event. It would be extremely costly for them to run the even in Vegas, and for that reason alone I still believe it will be held in their backyard at the Anaheim convention center.

Honda announced the company want a 10 cylinders engine for its future NSX : "This sort of discussion was made between the American Honda people and r&d people, and some people were questioning whether it's really necessary to have a V-10," Kondo says. "But sports is a special category. We said if we're going to do it, we're going to go to the extreme," says Executive Vice President Koichi Kondo.
But better performance also means higher prices: the NSX will cost more than the Gt-R that is powered by a turbocharged 3.8-liter V-6.
The company hopes to sell 1,000 units a year of the NSX in the United States, where Honda plans to launch the sports car first, sometime in 2011.

This post shows you how you can Copy Move files Faster in Computers. We all make backups, don't we. And if you don't use those fancy backup tools like me, and are completely ok with copy/pasting. Then TeraCopy is the software for you(and even if you don't, its still a pretty damn useful software).
Even though I have no idea what it means, but:"TeraCopy uses dynamically adjusted buffers to reduce seek times. Asynchronous copy speeds up file transfer between two physical hard drives."
I by far have actually noticed the difference myself, yes…its that prominent.
Here's a list of features of TeraCopy:
- Copy files faster. TeraCopy uses dynamically adjusted buffers to reduce seek times. Asynchronous copy speeds up file transfer between two physical hard drives.
- Pause and resume file transfers. Pause copy process at any time to free up system resources and continue with a single click.
- Error recovery. In case of copy error, TeraCopy will try several times and in the worse case just skip the file, not terminating the entire transfer.
- Interactive file list. TeraCopy shows failed file transfers and lets you fix the problem and recopy only problem files.
- Shell integration. TeraCopy can completely replace Explorer copy and move functions, allowing you work with files as usual.
- Full Unicode support.
- Windows 7 x64 support.
And my favorite feature(5th from the top) is that i don't have to fire up the software every time i want to cut/copy/paste a file. I can do it from my normal I-Click Menu and shortcut keys.
You can get Teracopy from here.
Hope you enjoy this software
And it also has a portable version available here.

The Schuylkill River is as easy to love as it is difficult to spell. So why not help protect it?
If you're a boater, a water sport enthusiast, or just a nature lover, the Delaware Riverkeeper Network is asking you to fill out a quick survey that will give it a clearer sense of how exactly locals use the river.
The upshot: the organization is preparing a feasibility study for a system that would forecast levels of viruses and bacteria in the river. Modeled after The Philly Rivercast, the proposed system would predict pathogen levels in the Schuylkill from Pottstown to Phoenixville; making it a safer, and healthier, place to play.
By taking part in the survey, you'll be helping the Riverkeepers prepare recommendations for the forecasting system.

2013 song of the year
I had some over 400 words written, talking about this song and hyping it up and explaining my decision. And then I lost it all. Every. Single. Fucking. Word. Because Tumblr doesn't have fucking auto save.
I don't even know what happened. I hit backspace, I guess, and my browser went back to previous pages because I could even recognize what happened.
I'm pissed. It's happened to all of us in various media throughout our lives. And it SUUUUUUUUCKS.
All those words, my thoughts, gone forever. I babbled on some about how EDM over the last year and a half has become one of my more listened to musical genres, and how this is the first time in a couple years in which a Frank Ocean song isn't getting the honors. And yadda yadda yadda. All of that is now in the pits of whatever Internet wasteland that stuff deposits itself. I'm going to cry.
I'm not even going to attempt rewriting everything because that's a lot I would have to remember and I'm too fucking disheartened to even try.
Sorry to all three of you who might have cared. But you're just gonna have to settle for the song by itself.
So, in conclusion, FUCK Tumblr. FUCK you. FUCK me. FUCK the Internet. FUCK EVERYTHING.
Happy New Year.

Recap of 2013 in movies
It's the end of the year, so you know what that means: my look back back at the year in movies. If you're at all familiar with me, you know how this is going to go. I talk about how I'm not a movie critic and how I always base my appreciation of movies on how much fun I had watching the movie and not on any of that technical mumbo jumbo some movie snobs care about and how these rankings are only of the movies I've seen. (Takes deep breath.) Nothing new this time.
Overall, I was pretty disappointed with the selection of movies this year. That's reflected in the fact that I only saw 20 movies. That may seem like a lot for one person in any given year, but I saw 26 in 2012 and 29 the year before that. Clearly, I'm an avid cinephile and this cinephil was unimpressed with the selection this year, especially the summer movie season, which is typically where I make a feasting.
Anyway, there were still some terrific movies released this year, and rather than dwell on what could have been, let's get all glass-half-full and celebrate the movie year the was.
Here are this year's rankings:
(A note first: I mostly enjoyed the movies I saw this year, but as always there were some regrets. Once you get to Pain & Gain, you're getting to the shit movies)
1. The Wolf of Wall Street
2. The Hunger Games: Catching Fire
3. Prisoners
4. Fast & Furious 6
5. Star Trek Into Darkness
6. Side Effects
7. Thor: The Dark World
8. Gravity
9. Iron Man 3
10. This is the End
11. Captain Phillips
12. The World's End
13. Spring Breakers
14. Don Jon
15. American Hustle
16. Pain & Gain
17. Man of Steel
18. The Great Gatsby
19. Olympus Has Fallen
20. The Hangover Part III
On Andre Iguodala fitting in with the Warriors
Important analysis by Marcus Thompson:
Jack was tough, had a reliable pull-up jumper and was savvy enough to beat most defenders. But he was small and dribbled a lot. Both became a problem as defenses began to focus more on Jack.
Iguodala — who stands 6-foot-6, 207 pounds — doesn't seem to have such shortcomings. Because of his size and vision, he can see the whole floor and can make passes many small guards can't make. Because of his athleticism, he gets to spots on the floor quickly and easily.
Jack ran the offense and, when the play call didn't get Curry or Thompson open, simply took his man one-on-one. But Jack, because of his size, had a tendency to find himself in traps or had a tough time seeing the open man in traffic. Conversely, Iguodala can see all the angles while in traffic. What's more, he gets guys open by drawing the defense to him. That's going to equal a lot of open looks for the Warriors' shooters.
A soliloquy about Breaking Bad (no spoilers)
Just rewatched last night's Breaking Bad, and I cannot think of a more riveting, emotionally draining hour of dramatic television in my experience. Oh, there have been more shocking MOMENTS on TV. Stringer Bell, Lane Pryce, the Red Wedding and a whole bunch of shit on 24 come to mind. But last night was an hour straight of poetic torture. 24 hours later and I'm still reeling. AND THERE'S STILL 2 EPISODES LEFT. We haven't even gotten to the climax of this story arc yet! I presume that comes in the penultimate episode this weekend and will be handled the same way the shootout was the last two weeks—begins in the last 10 minutes, then cliffhanger, then resolves itself within the first 20 to 30 minutes next week, leaving ample room in what's sure to be an appropriately expanded episode, minutes wise, for resolution. But if we don't get at least a 30 minute epilogue to close out the finale, I'm going to be pissed. I hate rushed endings in the narrative of episodic TV. WE NEED SUFFICIENT RESOLUTION. Anyway, if you're still catching up on the show, just be prepared to enlist psychiatric help beginning whenever you expect to finish the episode Ozymandias.
Rambling: completed. Now I'm going to drink some Schraderbrau.
Farewell to my sweet Sienna
I was 9 years old, no, maybe 10, when we first welcomed my dog Sienna to our family. She was 1 or 2 years old (we never really knew) when we rescued her from the pound. That was some 14 years ago. I'm 23 now. And Sienna, well, you can do the math for dog years. I still remember that day at the pound vividly, as with the day we finally got to bring her home. And along the way there have been countless memories I'll always hold close to my heart.
It's been 14 years of each other's company. 14 years of pooping and peeing in the house and drinking out of the toilet. 14 years of beef with the neighbor's cats that would rival only Biggie and Tupac. 14 years of mutual love and affection. 14 years of growing up together. 14 years being the sweetest, kindest, coolest dog you can ask for. 14 years I'll never forget.
Sienna passed away on Friday. It's with immense sadness and through many tears that I write this. But I can think of no better way to memorialize the dog I love so much than putting my thoughts and feelings into words and sharing these cherished memories with anybody who wants to read them.
Growing up I had always wanted a dog. But living in an apartment complex that prohibited pets prevented that from being anywhere near possible. Then after I completed the fourth grade, my family moved into a house. This was my chance, I thought. The shameless incessant begging began almost immediately after the move. My early attempts were shot down, with my parents citing reasons such as "dogs are too much responsibility" or "if the dog barks too much, the neighbors complain." That didn't discourage me, however. And after months of relentless and carefully-planned pleading and empty promises ("I'll get up early every morning before school to walk the dog!"), and probably some timely tears along the way (I was an evil child), I finally got my parents to commit to getting me a dog. Or, at least my dad did. My mom wasn't on board at first (that didn't last long once we brought Sienna home). But one parent was all I needed.
Not long after, my dad finally took me to the pound to pick out the new member of our family. On our way there, I didn't know what to expect. I thought we had to pick out a name for the dog. I remember considering names of my favorite Pokemon, which I was balls deep into at the time. Thank God the dogs already had names. I'm really glad I didn't have to call my dog "Pikachu" in 2013.
The one condition my parents established from the beginning, however, was that the dog had to be quiet. We didn't want to have a dog that wouldn't stop yapping and bringing dismay to the neighborhood, a thoughtful consideration our neighbors through the years have brazenly ignored with their own pets.
We considered a few dogs before we finally came across a quiet and shy medium-sized dog timidly hunkered down toward the back of her kennel. As frightened as she appeared, she was also beautiful, with a lush black and brown coat of fur and paws that looked like they were dipped in vanilla ice cream. On the kennel's gate, the nametag read "Sienna" and had "husky mix," whatever that meant, listed as the breed (to this day we still don't know what exact breed she was). We took her for a short walk outside of the building as a sort of "test run." When she interacted with us we was very affectionate and gentle and exhibited no signs of being an aggressive- or hostile-natured dog. Sienna didn't have a single mean bone in her body. Upon seeing Sienna outside, one lady who worked there exclaimed, "There's my baby!" almost to give her stamp of approval to us. By the end of the walk, we knew Sienna was the one we wanted to adopt. I hope all the other dogs at the pound were able to find safe and loving homes like we gave Sienna.
When we finally brought her home, it became clear she was previously the victim of abuse wherever she came from. Her timorous state at the pound was an early indicator of this. She would also cower down and pee or hide somewhere when we would raise our voices while housebreaking her. The top of her right ear had a gimp to it, apparently from being harmed. She would also coil her ears back and slump her face downward when somebody was giving her love. She was just generally afraid of people. But after she saw she now had a loving family and home, she learned to trust us. Eventually that applied to other people as well. She was especially genial around kids who were eager to pet her. But the thought that somebody could ever be so heinously vile to an animal—especially a sweet and innocent one like Sienna—still makes my blood boil to this day.
There were some growing pains along the way, however. OK, a lot of growing pains. Like any pup, Sienna went through a habit of chewing through things she shouldn't be chewing through. Furniture. Shoes. Electrical wires. Screen doors. Yes, SCREEN DOORS. (And, yes, plural.) There was also a lot of peeing and pooping indoors, even after she was housebroken. The constant shedding of hair was an unrelenting nuisance as well. Other times when she was being pest it was a little more endearing. Like how she wouldn't eat her dog food unless we mixed in chicken or other leftovers from dinner. Or how she would also stand up on her hind legs and put her front paws up on people when she was nervous or excited. She'd also beg for food when you were sitting down at the dining table by repeatedly poking her face in your lap. Going away to a college eight hours away for four years was a tough time for me, as well. It was the first time I'd have to spend an extended time away from her. Whenever I came back home, Sienna was always the one I most looked forward to seeing. Sorry, parents helping me with tuition.
Sienna's favorite pastime was going for walks at a nearby middle school, which we referred to as "the Hill" because it's literally perched on top of one of our town's highest points. The school's campus is expansive, complete with vast areas grass for half a dozen or so soccer fields and three baseball diamonds, along with other various walking trails. Some days Sienna would be the only dog there; other days there'd be as many five or six. Taking dogs off the leash didn't seem to be an issue, either. The school grounds are so immense that even with several dozen brats named Tucker or Cody chaotically chasing a soccer ball while annoyingly overzealous soccer moms cheered them on, it was still safe in some places to let your dog run free. It was like the Disneyland of dog parks. It provided ample area for Sienna to let loose, poop, sniff around, meet other dogs and sometimes get into trouble. She would run and run and run and run until her tongue was practically dragging on the ground. It gave Sienna an abundance of exercise and kept her in great shape. But more importantly, she absolutely loved going there. She loved it so much that, not even three months after we first got her, she went there by herself when she somehow slipped out of our backyard one time. We didn't even realize she had gotten loose until the school called us. Thankfully she wasn't run over by a car, and thankfully we had our contact information on her collar. Eventually she would learn to associate the words "go bye-bye" with going up to Hill. Whenever my dad would get ready to take her up there, he would say those three words to her and she would go certifiably ballistic with uncontrollable excitement and anticipation. Watching her become so animated, you couldn't help but to think about how smart she was to be able to so keenly determine the meaning of those three words. And then she'd accidentally run into a wall in her haste and make your reconsider everything. A few years ago, however, the assholes from school district banned dogs from coming onto the school's grounds. Sienna, if she knew what was going on, would have been devastated. I will support any campaign that sends bags of dog shit to the school district's offices.
Unfortunately, over the last few years, Sienna began showing signs of her advancing age. It became increasingly harder for her to get up the stairs or onto our couches to lie on. She would pee herself while sleeping. She became lazier than she already was. (So lazy that she started pooping inside more often than she was outside. Zero fucks were given on her end. Gotta give it up to her having the balls to do that.) She had difficulty getting up after lying down. Her hind legs were becoming weaker to the point where she could barely stand up while eating food. All of it was heartbreaking to witness, but we accepted that it was part of what came with her age.
The latter two were sadly the beginning of the end. One night a couple weeks ago, Sienna, as she always did, went to my parents' bedroom to lie down for the night but never got back up. The next day I thought it was weird she hadn't moved at all over the last several hours since I first saw her. Was she sick? No, her nose was still cold. So, I tried to pick her up to help get her active. But once I got her on her legs and let go, she immediately plopped down backwards. It was clear what had happened. The condition of her hind legs had finally deteriorated to the point where she could no longer get up and stay up on her own. She wasn't crippled. She still had feeling and some movement in the legs; they were just very weak. It was surprising only in that it happened quite suddenly and wasn't a more gradual process over time. Initially, the hope was that this was just a temporary spell and that she'd be up on her own and back to pooping next to the backdoor in no time. After all, it wasn't the first time she had a problem getting on her feet under her own power; it was never something that rest couldn't fix. But several hours turned into the next day and the day after that and a few more. Along the way we tried to keep her as comfortable as possible. We put her on extra fluffy bathroom rugs, which we switched out every time she went to the bathroom. We moved her around on all sides so she wouldn't develop bedsores. And we gave her as much food and water as she wanted. There were mornings in which I wished I woke up and saw her walking around or heard her galloping on the hardwood floor downstairs as she so often did after proudly returning from going to the bathroom outside. Instead I would wake up and see her lying down in the same place with the same defeated look on her face. It became evident this wasn't going to be something that would work itself out. We probably waited longer to contact the doctor than we should have. But the writing was on the wall. Chalk it up as being in denial or dreading news we didn't want to hear. And so with immense trepidation over what would result, we finally took her to the vet last week.
The vet said it was ultimately kidney failure that was causing Sienna's body to shut down. We opted to go for treatment in a last-ditch effort to see if her condition could improve. She spent the last three days of her life in the animal hospital hooked up to an IV. There wasn't any progress. The doctor said, at her age, doing anything else was futile. It was time to say our goodbyes.
Sienna took her final breaths shortly after noon on Friday, May 10. She was surrounded by my mom and dad and me. Her family.
Now that she's gone, it's still all too surreal. Even after heartfelt and emotional goodbyes, I still can't believe she's gone. The house feels empty now. Every time I walk past my parents' bedroom, her favorite place to lie down throughout the day, I still expect to see her sprawled out on the floor. I don't think that habit will ever end. And I don't want it to because that would mean forgetting about Sienna, even if just so fleetingly. A lot of people probably don't understand the unwavering attachment some people have to their pets. Sienna was more than just the family dog. She was a family member. We grew up together. There exists a special connection between people and their childhood dog. For me, being an only child brought that connection to another level. So as I try to deal with all the pain right now, I'm still damn grateful I got to have that bond with Sienna.
It's only been a couple days, but I already miss her so, so much. But anytime I find myself lapsing into grief or sadness, I just think of the wonderful, loving home we gave her and the long, good life she lived. And then I'm brought to tears.

2012 in movies
I don't know why I do this every year. I'm not a movie critic. I'm not a student of film. I guess I do it because, since I typically see a lot of movies, I feel like I need do some type of reflection on something I spent a lot of my time and money on.
Or maybe this is just me being an OCD weirdo, and subconsciously I can't truly move on from any of these movies until I pass judgement on them.
Or maybe this is just me posturing. "Look at me! I saw a lot of movies and have something to say about it!"
Anyway, I saw 26 movies that were released this year, which may seem like a lot for an ordinary movie-goer, but it's not even the most I've seen in one year. I saw 29 in 2011.
So here they are, ranked from best to worst. Typically when I do this, I order the movies based on how much I enjoyed each one. Did I leave the movie theater impressed? Did the movie live up to expectations? Was I entertained? DID SOMEBODY SHOW THEIR BEWBS?!?!?!
Or did I sit there thinking, "This is stupid," every time something happened? (The Amazing Spider-Man)
A note before I get to the list: I genuinely did enjoy a majority of these movies, obviously to varying degrees. When you get to somewhere around Paranormal Activity 4 or Total Recall, my opinion starts to sour. And by the time you get to the end of the list, you're looking at utter rubbish.
The list:
1. The Avengers
2. Lincoln
3. Skyfall
4. The Dark Knight Rises
5. Argo
6. Looper
7. The Hunger Games
8. The Bourne Legacy
9. Flight
10. Django Unchained
11. 21 Jump Street
12. Project X
13. Ted
14. Contraband
15. This is 40
16. The Dictator
17. Taken 2
18. American Reunion
19. Haywire
20. Paranormal Activity 4
21. Total Recall
22. The Campaign
23. Safe House
24. Men in Black 3
25. Prometheus
26. The Amazing Spider-Man

(honestly, it's like a Sophie's Choice between two derp face QB's)
|Joe Flacco, confirming what I've suspected about Ray Lewis and his speeches for years.
Sean Keane made me do this
The NFL playoffs always come down to quarterback matchups. Let's look at these guys head-to-head, starting with Peyton Manning vs. Joe Flacco, AKA Denver vs. Baltimore.
Famous sibling:
Saturday Night Live:
Home city role model:
Really good at:
By a 4-3 count, the matchup goes to Peyton Manning. It's just science.
Ravens at Broncos: Legacies
Read an interesting stat tonight: in his playoff career, Peyton Manning is 0-3 in games below 40 degrees, with one touchdown and seven interceptions. Although, all three of them came on the road, and two of them were in Foxboro, so the competition might've played a bigger factor than the thermometer.
Take away his two Super Bowl runs (one resulting in a ring), and the underrated part of Manning's career narrative in the post-season is that: he just hasn't been that good. Not all the time.
But then you fold all of that into what's happened this season. From four neck surgeries to a front-runner for MVP (in a world where Adrian Peterson didn't have an even better comeback story), it almost feels like Manning's season deserves more attention that we've given it.
He's turned Demaryius Thomas and Eric Decker into elite wide receivers, and the defense has strengthened as the season's gone on.
The schedule? Not exactly a hard road to the post-season, so as you keep picking apart every detail behind Manning and his team, you can see why they might seem like a vulnerable one seed at home.
But the Ravens had their Super Bowl last week for Ray Lewis, and I'm not sure if Anquan Boldin is going to be a superhero every week in these playoffs. The defense made plays last week and flashed glimpses of their former self, but then you remember that Manning has won 9 straight games against this team, this defense.
Brain against brawn, and all that other stuff. When it comes down to it, I wish I could provide you with a complete breakdown of everything, but I really want to see Manning's story end with a hometown Super Bowl game in New Orleans.
This is not just a playoff run for Manning. This is about legacy. Two Super Bowl wins would make elevate the conversation for Manning's greatness. Funny how one of the greatest of all-time at his position is still chasing something more at this stage in his career, and doing so as the front-runner in the AFC.
Broncos win 28-10.
What does everybody think?
Colts at Ravens: The Intangibles Bowl
The main storyline was clear heading into the divisional round match-up between the Colts and Ravens: #CHUCKSTRONG.
It went from a hashtag, to a movement, to a full blown playoff rally cry for the Indianapolis Colts, who really did win 11 games this season. Curtis Painter, we barely remember you.
But by mid-week, with news that Ray Lewis will be retiring after the season, the whole intangibles meter swung a bit back to the home team. Here stands their leader, win or lose this week, likely playing in his final game in Baltimore.
Despite the inconsistency of the Ravens all year, and a defense that is more reputation than performance at this point, you have to figure that Lewis' swan song and the home field advantage will matter.
Everyone's excited for this one, except for Ravens offensive coordinator Jim Caldwell, who continues to just stare at something in the far distance, we're just not sure what.
Speaking of legacies, welcome back to the spotlight Joe Flacco. He is elite, in a fleeting, once in a while type of way. He can amaze. He has amazed. But he's incredibly frustrating as well. Which kind of describes the last decade of Ravens football. A few solid regular seasons, a couple of divisional titles (back to back AFC North champions), but whether it be the Steelers, their own kicker, or the Steelers again, that second Super Bowl appearance has eluded Lewis and crew.
But under John Harbaugh, they have yet to go one-and-done in the post-season.
The Colts have been a wonderful story, but they're also faced one of (the?) easiest schedule of the season and been incredible in close games. I'm starting to sound like Bill Barnwell.
But it feels like this is what happens: Joe Flacco shows glimpses of being great again, the defense rises one more time, the rookie quarterback gets an important road playoff lesson for the future, and yes, Jim Caldwell will even crack a smile at the end of the game.
Ravens win 34-10.
It's halftime at Foxboro and the Patriots are up 13-10 on the Ravens.
Surprisingly, the key to today's game has been New England's ground attack and Flacco's passing.
How does it end!?
(Photo by Al Bello/Getty Images)
1. What do I do if I own anyone on the Baltimore Ravens?
Well, this week you're going to play them. This Baltimore team is going to be mad after embarrassing themselves on Monday night. An angry Baltimore team comes home to face the Arizona Cardinals. They are going to use Ray Rice a lot after all that talk this week. Joe Flacco should hopefully get his act together but nobody can blame you if you benched him this week. They should show up big against the Cards, it's been some time since the Ravens lost back to back games. Now, the following week… that's a different story.
2. DeMarco Murray, real deal or one week wonder?
There is not a very large sample size to base this off of but how do you not like what you saw out of DeMarco Murray last week. Sure it was against a terrible Rams defense but he got something like the 9th most rushing yards in a game in history. And it's not like the Cowboys offensive lines is none for being best in the league. Dude looks good you probably got to play him until Felix Jones comes back and he starts splitting carries.
3. Tebow Tebow Tebow Tebow Tebow Tebow Tebow Tebow Tebow Tebow Tebow Tebow?
I hear ya, another miracle comeback. The Chosen One gets the Lions this weekend. A lot of fuss has been made about how teams can run on the Lions. It looks like that is true but with Willis McGahee out with a hand injury that leaves Knowshon Moreno and Lance Ball. Do you see Moreno running wild? Meanwhile the Lions pass de has been pretty great. Combine the two and it doesn't look like a good matchup for Tebow. With that said, how do you go against him? He's not a good quarterback but he makes magic happen.
4. Do I give up on Chris Johnson?
In a word, yes. Chris Johnson is having a bad year. He's gotta be out of shape, hurt, or his pockets are too heavy. He's called out the offensive line so maybe that's the issue. Javon Ringer isn't lighting the world on fire but he seems to show more play making ability than Johnson. He has a great matchup this weekend against the Colts but even if he blows up this weekend and has a good game it'll be one week. He's not the guy you thought you were drafting. Unless you thought you were drafting a guy who would put up under 10 fantasy points each week. I'm with you. He's on my team too, we need a support group.
5. What do I do with Philip Rivers?
Not sure what Cry Me a Philip Rivers deal is. Living on the East Coast I don't get to see many Chargers games. What I do know is that Phil is having the worse season of his career. Or maybe worse since his first season as the starting. He can't be this bad. If you have him you probably have to stick it out unless you have a decent replacement. You're not going to be able to pick anyone up of the wire that you'll play over him. On the flip side, if there is an owner in your league that is sick of his shenanigans and you think he can be had, he's gotta be worth the pickup.
Ravens fans, between me and you, it must've crossed your mind tonight that it might not have been a bad idea to bring back Tony Banks.
Joe Flacco < Shane Falco
In only one half of work against the Dallas Ropers (to make the playoffs mind you) Shane Falco brought the Washington Sentinels back from an 0-17 hole. He threw for +/-200 yards and three touchdowns. Also worth mentioning, he rushed 32 yards for what would have been a game winning touchdown off a fake field goal if not called back for flag.
In four whole quarters against the Houston Texans on Sunday, Joe Flacco only threw for 305 yards, no touchdowns, an interception and a fumble. He also rushed for -1 yard and had a goal line QB sneak. Pathetic.
Joe Flacco is no Shane Falco.

Published on Nov 12, 2013
There have been six failed attempts at writing the intro for this review. Six. Because there's no easy way to introduce Stick It To The Man, a game about a guy with a sort of, well, psychic 'pink spaghetti arm' protruding from his head, and you have to slap stickers on mouths to…Sigh.
Seven failed attempts.Stick It To The Man is an impossible game to introduce because it's an almost impossible game to describe. You play the hapless Ray, who has the previously-mentioned arm sticking out of his head. The arm allows Ray to grab pull down brown paper to reveal new areas and he can also grapple his way around using pins.
Pins? Oh yes, Minor Point Worth Mentioning: the world made entirely of cardboard.
Another Minor Point Worth Mentioning: you grab stickers, not items, and using these items is a case of using your arm to slap them on people's mouths, faces, behinds or whatever else.
Still following? Good.No-one else can see the arm, which drives Ray mad. The arm can also be used to read people's minds, which also drives Ray mad. You may have guessed by now – Stick It To The Man isn't a game that takes itself seriously. At all.Dark humour is a big part of the appeal, from depressed characters with ropes tied around their necks after being driven to the point of suicide by disappointing teeth (honestly) or kidnapped disco dancers leaping out of the boot of a car to talk about how difficult Silver Surfer was on NES.The other big part of the big part of the appeal is the look. Stick It To The Man is rich with imagination, flipping from a dark, depressing, dank city to a bright, vibrant utopia inside Ray's psyche. Everything here is bursting with personality and life, making the world and its unusual, quirky inhabitants just as compelling as the gameplay itself.
Strip away the stickers and Stick It To The Man's gameplay is deceptively straightforward, falling somewhere between 2D platformer and point-and-click adventure.The platforming is mostly a case of avoiding the guards who patrol certain sections of the level, as you bait them out of position and then use your psychic hand to grapple past. It's not really stealth but more chase gameplay, with the odd puzzle and escort section thrown in. It's never really a full-on platformer, nor does Stick It To The Man want to be a full-on platformer. It's more a diversion, something to break up the pace.The bulk of the gameplay falls under point-and-click adventure, your psychic hand serving as a cursor as you grab items (well, stickers, not items) from the environment and then figure out when and where to use them (well, slap them, not use them).In true point-and-click style, Stick It To The Man features fairly abstract puzzles than most, and those who remember the days of a rubber chicken with a pulley in the middle will likely approve of how bizarre and humorous some of the solutions are. But it's never really that abstract or that difficult. Stick It To The Man doesn't hide where you can use items, so it's often a case of persistence if logic lets you down.The only real irritation comes from how difficult it can be to aim Ray's arm if two objects are close to each other, as the hand struggles to differentiate between the two. It's not a problem when you're idling about, poking and prodding at the puzzles, but it does make some of the chase sections more annoying than they have to be. Frequent checkpoints keep anger to a minimum but even so – grrrr. Needlessly frustrating.
But you'll be quick to forgive, because Stick It To The Man works so hard to win you over. From its bizarre look to its dark humour to its relaxed pace (even with the chase sequences), it's an easy game to fall in love with.Stick It To The Man is a genuine delight on PSN, joining the ranks of other oddities on the service that marry quirky charms with strong gameplay such as Tokyo Jungle, Noby Noby Boy and Joe Danger.

She then appeared in The Rise and Fall of Legs Diamond (1960). After a couple appearances on Broadway and some work on television, Cannon met and fell in love with Cary Grant, who was 38 years her senior. While involved with him, she placed her acting career on hold. The two married in 1965 and she bore him a daughter. Three years later, Grant and Cannon went through a bitter public divorce. In 1969, Cannon returned to films in the then-controversial sex comedy Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice and won the Best Supporting Actress award from the New York Film Critics. Her role also won her an Oscar nomination. The 1970s were her most active period as an actress and Cannon appeared frequently in films. In 1978, she earned another Best Supporting Actress nomination for playing a conniving, adulterous wife in Heaven Can Wait.
By the early '80s, Cannon sharply curtailed her feature-film career, but did appear in a few television movies and miniseries. In 1976, Cannon wrote, produced, directed, and even helped edit a 42-minute film sponsored by the American Film Institute. Titled Number One, Cannon designed it to teach children about sexuality and their bodies. It earned an Oscar nomination for best live-action short. Cannon has since directed two more films, including The End of Innocence, which is based on her autobiography. Cannon returned to acting on a limited basis in the 1990s and continued to appear on television in such outings as Arnold Schwarzenegger's Christmas in Connecticut (1992) and features such as Out to Sea (1997).
Cannon would appear in several films and TV shows over the coming years, memorably appearing on shows like Ally McBeal and Three Sisters. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi

Man's robe, second half of 17th century; Mughal
Painted cotton with applied gold leaf
The early Mughal rulers Akbar and Jahangir were interested in fashion stuffs, carpets, and ornamental textiles. Both emperors had a penchant for inventing new names for garments and other clothing. Akbar is recorded as having ordered a new coat or dress with a round skirt to be tied on the right side. This jama may be a later version of the Akbari garment. Its lengthy sleeves would have been gathered up on the arm when the dress was worn.

There was a bug preventing you from backtracking once you reach the semi-final room, (after sound maze) and since there's other pre-requisites you must have done in other areas to open this room, I just made it open regardless. But please do explore around and try to find them! If you do, two statues will be present in this room
SORRY FOR THE MISTAKE and please give the game another go even if you have already! The endings are well worth it!

I wish I could play this game. The music and graphics are awesome.
But I'm having the same problem that bazookab & princessprt mentioned:
I'm stuck with "312 Guy" and if I jump down the hole, I return to the scene were I have to make the roots appear again (and again, and again); I also get stuck in the scene to the right of where we land when we first fall: it's like a loop, you leave the scene to the right, but you appear to the left as if you just got there.
Hope it gets fixed sometime, since I'm seeing the uploaded date and the earlier reviews with the same issues... it's been a while. :(

Can't even get past first few min into game. After meeting weirdo that says "312" game will not let you go past the area and keeps cycling you back to the same screen no matter what. Wish I could play, game has potential.

OUCS 5-Year Plan: Major Capital Investments
The major capital investments that OUCS will need to cover fall under the area of supporting the University's infrastructure, as outlined in the Corporate Plan in VI. What follows is a considered list of the major capital investment needed by Oxford to maintain its IT and Telecoms networks, and to expand them to meet the demands of a word-class University. We are already falling behind our competitors in areas such as wireless networking, institutional filestores, and repositories; and our network backbone will need major investment over the next few years.
In the list below, where possible, estimated timescales and costs are outlined.
1.1 The backbone network switching structure was upgraded to 10 Gbs in 2004. This will provide capacity until the next step-wise upgrade. On past experience this can be expected towards the end of the 5-year window. OUCS envisages that £1M should be budgeted for this. However, one area of uncertainty is the security aspects of a higher-speed network, and adequate control may depend on developments (such as high-speed firewalls) that cannot yet be predicted.
1.2 The network infrastructure is based around ducts and fibres installed in 1984. Although this continues to serve us well, the time is now long overdue to review cable provision to increase capacity and replace outdated cables. The issues of resilience should also be reconsidered. Although resilience has always been a prime consideration, a new risk-assessment, including the increasing demands of teaching, research and administration, may require extra resilience to be provided, including duplication of switching equipment and cable routes. This should be carried out in the next two years, and it is suggested that £0.6M should be budgeted.
1.3 The FroDo project has been funded and is underway. (The colleges have recently agreed, at least in principle, their contribution.) This will open up several new prospects, the main one of which is wireless networking.
1.4 Roving access must be high on the agenda of the ICT Strategy Group. In some cases, particularly colleges, wireless access (conforming to the model already established) may be expected to come about incrementally after the foundations are laid by FroDo. Central areas, for example libraries, may be more problematic. A bid last year for funds for provision of wireless access in 60 main University buildings was turned down, but this must be revisited. The layout of Oxford (and the construction of many buildings) means this is an expensive process. To equip 60 main buildings, budgetary costs are £1.5M capital. Recurrent equipment costs may be estimated at £100k. Running this network would require approximately two FTE.
Increased use of this technology will open up many other areas for exploration, and the opportunity to provide services directed at PDA and other mobile users.
1.5 Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6) can be expected to be introduced in the next 2-3 years. This will present major technical challenges (throughout the University), but the capability is already there in the switching equipment, and no significant capital or recurrent expenditure is anticipated.
1.6 The Telephone Infrastructure is based on aging analogue technology, but at the moment is extremely reliable and fully maintainable. The next five years must see a change to VoIP technology, driven by demand for new services. Minor pilots will be carried out, but it is expected that the first major installation will be for the development of the Radcliffe Infirmary site. Funding for this will come as part of the RI site costs. However, a major transfer of the University telephone infrastructure to VoIP may be expected towards the end of the 5-year period. A migration strategy will have to be planned, and until this is done costs and timescales must be very uncertain, but overall costs are expected to be in the region of £2-3M.
1.7 Networking for VoIP and Building Management. OUCS has been funded to install a separate 'secure' backbone network that will provide the basic IP-based switching structure for the telephone network, and will be available for building-management and security functions. These will be arranged as needed by the Estates Department, and funded from the building projects needing the facility.
1.8 External Connectivity. SuperJanet 5 is expected to be installed in 2006, and it is hoped that Oxford will have a 10Gbs connection. Costs of this will be met from OUCS recurrent funding. The installation of FroDo gives an opportunity to consider again whether a separate commercial link should be provided. Some colleges are already using such a connection for conference use, and there has been discussion on whether some of the legal burdens on the University could be eased by using an ISP for residential access. FroDo would enable a central service to be provided for all colleges — it is not expected that this would come from University funds.
1.9 Security. The University continues to be a prime target for outside attack, and is also under constant threat from the deliberate and accidental actions of its members. OUCS has recently increased manpower in this area.
2.1 Mail services. OUCS makes continual investment in central mail facilities to keep up with ever-increasing demand, both in the numbers and volume of email. A major investment has recently been made to provide a resilient and expandable fileserver for the Herald cluster, which will be brought into service early in 2006. If the IT Strategy leads to greater use of the central mailstore, further capacity will be required, and extra back-up facilities provided. £400k should be allocated for this.
2.2 Authentication and Authorisation Services. The ICT Strategy Group must consider authentication and directory services in a University-wide context, especially with regard to the supply and sharing of information from MIS projects and databases. OUCS will continue to develop and roll-out facilities.
2.3 WebLearn VLE. The VLE team has been primarily funded by external sources. However, security of funding must be achieved from central University funds to secure the long-term future of this important project. £150k per annum will be required to cover staff and hardware maintenance.
3.1 The HFS Service must constantly expand to keep up with demand, and to cater for new and developing areas. Amongst areas that may need considering in the future are undergraduate backup, PDAs and other mobile devices, and system images. The last major upgrade (with HEFC funding) was completed in 2003. Extra storage capacity has recently been purchased from OUCS recurrent funding, and will be installed in early 2006. A more major upgrade, to replace the ageing P-Series processors, will be planned in 2006; £100k should be budgeted. A further £150k is needed to replace the ageing tape media. It is also important to upgrade the older tape drives over the next two years, at a cost of about £200k. In the slightly longer term a review is needed of on-site and off-site storage, with an intention of installing a second tape library at a separate location. This, apart from giving greater security, will relieve capacity bottlenecks by allowing duplicate copies to be made off the main library. A budgetary cost for this is £0.5M. Obsolescence of the 10-year old automated tape library at OUCS has begun (ie some parts are no longer being sold) and its replacement will become necessary around the end of the 5-year period. It is difficult to predict costs so far in advance in a changing market, but on present costs about £300k will be needed.
3.2 Departmental backup. An objective over the next three-four years should be to provide a more unified approach to support of backup, using a hierarchy or cluster of TSM servers and tape library devices, some of which can be located in user departments, giving them more direct control of local backup while still using the deep-storage facilities of the HFS. This could also lead to a greater emphasis on facilitating faster recovery of vital systems. It is expected that the ICT Strategy will address this general question. The budgetary cost would be £50-100k per unit, depending on size. This is highly dependent on a review of requirements.
3.3 'University Filestore'. The areas of filestore and repository must be a priority for consideration in the ICT Strategy because (a) the amount of data that the University holds is growing exponentially, and there is at present no framework for managing that data reliably and securely; (b) there are areas of new and pending legislation which will impose obligations on the University, and where it is necessary for it to be able to demonstrate compliance; (c) increasingly the University's assets, in particular its library material and archives, will be held (sometimes solely) in digital form. Any policy must address two elements: a common tree structure so that data anywhere in the University could be accessed by anyone (with appropriate authorisation); and a central fileserver architecture providing a range of facilities, including a large-scale, high-performance repository, with secure backup and off-line facilities. Clearly a lot of this would be outside the remit of OUCS. Without guidance on the extent to which this might be addressed cost cannot be determined, however as an indication, a 100TB SAN-based system (one of several options) should be expected to cost about £0.8M, and require at least 2 FTE to support it.
4.1 Training Rooms and Help Centre. Unless OUCS relocates the pressure on existing user areas will have to be alleviated. Although two of our lecture rooms have been modernised recently (one through the HEFCE E-learning fund), our other two will need to be worked on soon, and possibly a fifth lecture room may need to be built. In addition our help centre facilities will need to be developed. Work on both of these should commence in 07, with an estimated budget of around £0.5m.

You can retrieve your Gmail messages with a client or device that supports IMAP, like Microsoft, Outlook or Apple Mail. Gmail (www.Gmail.com) offers more options for IMAP through an experimental add-on from Gmail Labs, "Advanced IMAP Controls". The IMAP protocol allows messages to be marked for deletion, a sort of limbo state where a message is still present in the folder but slated to be deleted the next time the folder is expunged. In IMAP implementation, when you mark a message as deleted, Gmail doesn't let it linger in that state, it deletes it from the folder right away.
If you want two stage delete process, after you have enabled this Lab, just select 'Do not automatically expunge messages' under the 'Forwarding and POP/IMAP' tab in settings. If a message is removed from the inbox or from the inbox or from a custom IMAP folder, Gmail still keeps it in "All Mail". You can now change the default behavior and instruct Gmail to send the message to the trash or to delete the message forever. Do save draft messages on the server. If you want your drafts in your mail clients to sync correctly with Gmail's web interface, set your client to save drafts to the folder.

Identity theft is a form of fraud, committed by persons who pretend to be someone else in order to access resources, obtain credit, or steal money in the other person's name. The most popular forms of identity theft include:
- credit card identity theft
- government benefit identity theft
- computer and internet identity theft (including ebay and other online auctions)
- bank, loan, or other financial institution fraud
- work-related identity theft
- utility or telephone identity theft
Mississippi made "identity theft" a separate crime in 2003. Section 97-45-19 of the Mississippi Code Annotated makes it illegal for a person to obtain the personal identity information of another person with the intent to unlawfully use that information for any of the following purposes:
- to obtain financial credit
- to purchase, obtain, or lease any real or personal property
- to obtain employment
- to obtain access to medical records
- to commit any illegal act
This "personal identity information" that is protected by law may include current or former names, social security numbers, driver's license numbers, checking or saving account numbers, credit or debit numbers, personal or electronic identification numbers, electronic signatures, medical identification numbers, birth dates, mother's maiden name, tax identification numbers, or any information which can be used to access a person's personal financial resources.
What are the penalties for a violation of Mississippi's identity theft law?
If the violation involves an amount of less than $250.00 dollars, it is considered a misdemeanor, and is punishable by imprisonment for not more than six months, and a fine of not more than $1000.00. If the amount is more than $250.00, the crime is a felony, and is punishable by imprisonment for not less than two nor more than 15 years, and a fine of not more than $10,000.00. The statute also provides that in all identity theft cases, restitution to the victim shall be paid.
How can a lawyer help in an identity theft case?
Your lawyer will investigate your arrest and any law enforcement investigations that were conducted for possible defenses. This includes determining whether any searches or seizures made by police were excessive or illegal. If the police violated your rights during the search, your lawyer will move the court to suppress any evidence that was discovered from the search. Your lawyer should also try to determine if your actions fall under an exception to identity theft, such as obtaining information in the course of a bona fide consumer or commercial transaction, or pursuant to the discovery process of a civil court action, administrative proceeding, or arbitration proceeding.
In many cases, people charged with online credit card fraud, internet identity theft, and other charges relating to identity fraud have no idea about how much trouble they are in. Identity theft crime tends to be sophisticated, and your lawyer needs to be familiar with current technology and trends in investigation in order to be able to help you. If you are accused of identity theft and need to discuss your case, call me at 601-991-1099 for a free consultation. We are here to help.

Now, a Corvette and a '63 Impala don't have much in common other than the company that birthed them, but there is one design feature that would make the chassis exchange a little more painless-the X-frame. Rather than the more typical perimeter or ladder frames that run under the floorpans on most cars, the Impala's backbone goes straight up the middle underneath the transmission tunnel. Using the Impala's original arrangement, Dave designed a complete new X-frame that would reuse all the Impala's original body mounts but accept the front and rear cradle, suspension, and torque tube from any C5 or C6 Corvette. Essentially, it allowed Christian to lift his '63's body off and lay it on top of a new Corvette ZO6. A little tunnel and firewall surgery was all that was necessary to clear the new frame and the 5-inch engine setback. Of course, things snowballed from there and the Corpala concept was created as a rolling testbed and a way to introduce the new chassis at the '07 SEMA show. But as radical as it looks cosmetically, beyond the flash, it's a stock Corvette, practically serviceable by a GM technician.
Thankfully, Christian's next big road tour in the Imp went much more smoothly than the first. After the show circuit, he and Dave pulled Corpala out of the trailer, checked the oil level and tire pressure, and drove 1,982 miles from Portland to Little Rock, Arkansas, for the start of the '08 HOT ROD Power Tour(r). They completed the entire Tour without a single problem, and Christian didn't baby it, either; during the Tour, he ran the quarter-mile in 12.93 at 110.09 mph at Heartland Park in Topeka, Kansas, tossed it around the Air Ride autocross course in 19 seconds, and dyno'd it on Dynomax's mobile dynamometer. Despite a weight of nearly 4,500 pounds with a trunk full of gear, it was managing to hang with the stock Vettes on both tracks. At the conclusion of the Tour, he turned around and drove 2,001 miles from Madison, Wisconsin, back to Portland, again without issue. Currently, Corpala's serving semidaily-driver duties for Christian, and yes, even hauling the kids around, just like he promised.
After completing the Corpala chassis, Christian was so pleased with the outcome, he teamed up with Dave to form Torque Industries, the arm of Eckert Rod and Custom that now markets the Torque 3G Chassis for several GM cars and trucks. That means you can build your own Corpala, Corbird, Corva, Corlark, Cormaro . . . you get the idea.

Vinci Wins Luxembourg
Published October 24, 2010 12:00
LUXEMBOURG, Luxembourg - The variety of Roberta Vinci was too much for Julia Goerges on Sunday, bringing her the BGL BNP Paribas Luxembourg Open title with a 63 64 championship victory in front of a packed house.
The unseeded Vinci, who was points away from losing to Barbora Zahlavova Strycova in the second round earlier this week, got all the way to the final and gave the No.8-seeded Goerges all sorts of problems from the get-go, breaking early in both sets and absorbing eight aces with her crafty all-court game.
"Julia is a very good player, but I don't think today was her best day," Vinci said. "The turning point for me this week was my second round match, when I won 7-6 in the third set. After that I knew I could go far, maybe the semis. Today I tried to stay focused on every point, especially on my serve games, and it worked.
"Now I'm going to go home for a week and then to the Fed Cup final."
See pics of Roberta, Julia and more now in the photo gallery!
Vinci won her third career WTA title, having already prevailed on clay at Bogotá in 2007 and Barcelona in 2009. She improved to 3-1 in finals, finishing runner-up at Barcelona this year to Francesca Schiavone (who then won the French).
Goerges was playing in her second career WTA final, having won on the clay of Bad Gastein this year. She had taken out No.4 seed Ana Ivanovic in straight sets in the quarterfinals on Friday. "I was pretty tired today," Goerges said. "Roberta played some really good tennis and I just wasn't able to make it."
In the doubles final, No.2 seeds Timea Bacsinszky and Tathiana Garbin upset No.1 seeds Zahlavova Strycova and Iveta Benesova, 64 64, for their third WTA title as a team, having won Budapest and Prague in the summer.
