Sam T's spoof on the White House is funny and scary at the same time!

The world as we know it comes to an end.
Broken Saints
The 12 hour graphic novel epic that resulted from three years of dedication.
This movie will most likely NOT be continued. If you want to know the rest of the story just google "metroid manga".
I added voice actors to the co-authors list.
This flash is based on the storyline from the official Metroid e-manga. It's about Samus Aran at three years old, living peacefully on planet 'K2-L' before the invasion begins. In this Epic there are a lot of; sprites which I made from scratch, edits from the originals and various sprite rips from the Metroid games.
Elliarlel - Samus Aran
Fat kid - mikemetroid5565
random girl - Queenie (my sister)
Choujin (old chozo) - Mental Myles/Nut lock
Space Pirates - DJJ-asshole
Rod - Shock Dingo
Verginia - Shannon Hilchie
good job i always wanted to know Samus' past
what's the name of the music when the guy recieves the alert about the Space Pirates' attack? Please answer me!
Oh, and THIS IS EPIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Please continue it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
'Sector 3 Emergency Situation' I won't continue this movie, there is no point, but I am glad you like it.
good job portraing samus` past and the sprites are very well made, but is it just me or does it looks like samia is naked? no ill feelings meant, just curious
Thanks, a lot of people have said that but as I remember in the comic she wears a beige outfit, and there is a line that shows she's wearing trousers and top. I guess I should have picked better colours.
just like the comic.
thank you!
if it werent 4 u i never would hav found the comic! thank you SO MUCH!
its great, cool movie with some little issues like voice acting, that wasnt needed and could have been more classic without it, but the retelling was damn good, and the dress up was pretty sweet

Une Femme est Une Femme, 1961.
my friend and I came to the conclusion that all the weird drunk nights we've each had, ones that involved a) someone crying b) kissing c) display of other intense emotions d) all of the above, were all connected to certain people regardless of the amount of alcohol we consumed that night. The only factor that decides whether things will get weird with alcohol solely depends on the person we were drinking with.
I miss those people already.

Comfortable, warm and affordable.
This shirt is really great. It's really more like a lightweight sweater.
Great quality wool blend base layer. Lots of stretch to the material. These should fit snug, to better pick up beads of sweat and wick them away effectively keeping you warmer. The stretch keeps them snug enough without feeling too tight. Since it is wool blend, it can be normally washed, too.
great wool blend shirt but to small,will return it.
Well made. A good base layer shirt.

Running PHP not as a module causes PHP to crash, and as a module causes an illegal operation in Apache. I've commented out the mail() call, and the script runs fine, then uncommented the line, and it crashes again, so I'm pretty certain it's mail() that does it.

first of all - mods or anyone else... if this is already being discussed please direct me to the right thread. I searched but don't have time to go through 8 pages of threads to find the right one.
So... in discussions at my local shop we recently threw around the pros and cons of hollow point ammo in a .380 for self defense.
One main issue... Penetration. If the BG is wearing multiple layers and you are using FMJ you've obviously got a better chance at penetrating deeper. However, the fear is if you are using hollow points will you make it far enough to hit a vital organ.
Either way, I wouldn't be afraid of over penetration with a .380 rd. would you?
thanks in advance for responses.

These individuals are referred to as Certified Treecare Safety Professionals, or CTSPs, and are invaluable members of any tree care crew. But, few realize that this credential can be the first step to becoming a TCIA Approved Instructor!
Did you know that is you are a CTSP, you can apply to teach TCIA programs such as EHAP and Tree Care Academy through TCIA? It's a great way to make extra money, raise your profile, and improve safety within the industry. We'll also pay for all your travel expenses.
All you have to do is become a CTSP and hold a valid certificate in the course you want to teach (EX: EHAP, Tree Care Academy, etc.)

8:00 AM PDT: Lindsay's attorney Mark Heller is telling various tabloids that no decision has been made on which rehab facility Lindsay will enter.
Sources connected to the situation tell TMZ ... Heller is not telling the truth. A decision HAS been made, and Lindsay's going to Seafield.
Lindsay Lohan will do rehab 15 minutes from the hottest summer club scene in the country ... problem is, if she tries to escape she's going directly to jail.
Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... Lindsay's lawyer and prosecutors have agreed on a facility where she'll do her 90 days of rehab. It's called Seafield Center in Westhampton Beach, NY.
Seafield is NOT a lockdown facility -- something prosecutors and the judge required. But we broke the story ... there's no such thing as a true lockdown rehab joint where people are essentially held hostage.
We've learned prosecutors have modified the plea bargain and have agreed on Seafield. It's an inpatient facility where patients are not supposed to leave, but no one can stop them if they walk out the door.
But here's the reason why Seafield was chosen -- It has 24-hour staff guarding the doors, as well as surveillance cameras and walls. If Lindsay tries to leave, she can't be stopped, but someone would see her and notify authorities. That would trigger a probation violation and the judge would almost certainly throw her butt in jail.
As for the cost ... $4,025 a week. Grand total for 90 days -- $51,750.
One problem. We've learned the facility is not designed for a 90-day stay. The limit is 28 days. An admissions person told TMZ ... they've never had anyone there longer for one stay. But we've learned the administrator has told prosecutors he'd stylize a 90-day program just for Lindsay
One final thing. There are lots of rules. No tobacco, no cell phone, and you can't dress like a slut ...
Sullivan the Christian:
While at the (imaginary) alter, relax your anus and allow all of your fellow christians' wangs to enter...then you can get paid and save yer house
If you need to rewatch Letterman from last night please do so, cause Lying Lindsays tears were fear tears. She is scared ****less about going into rehab and she knows her career is finished bye, bye.
Thats what Dave was talking about that made her scared tears fall.
He spoke the truth and she knows damn well she is washed up. It hurt her to hear the truth when Dave said he mocked her and laughed at her on his show.
Rewatch if you must.
Let's talk something interesting--Mindy Kaling!!! She is unique and BEAUTIFUL!! love her show, love how she dresses just her.
Lindsay may have had a slight revelation on Letterman about how douchie she really is. She had a bit of tears and dried them with a quick trip to One Oak.
Love the tobacco free campus. I doubt if they will allow an electronic ciggy as nicotine is a stimulant, and many rehabs believe that clients that quit smoking in rehab have a better chance of long term sobriety.
Maddy, thanks for the lesson on brain functioning in your previous post. hahaha
So, I'm assuming you're talking about her appearance on Anger Management tomorrow, right? Because it's on where I live at 9:30 pm and I just want to be clear since I just got punked by my own brain synapses 5 minutes ago.
Ole Harv is going to talk about Blohans choice of rehab on Live. She's up first.
Its Nikki Bitches
When does Lying Lindsay carry a Sharpie on her. PR paying people to show up at Letterman. All little kids. Must be from a local school
Cause there was NO ONE there when she arrived.
about an hour ago
You poor pathetic dolt of a clown. Might have known this would from you. LOL!!!! Look at the people. They're not kids. Some have gray hair. Most are adults. But you're a delusional hater, so you see what's not and convince yourelf it really is. This zhit is hilarious!!!!! Do you have any idea how much it would cost to pay people to do this you friggin bozo. The fact that she's loved by many really hurts, right??? Please, please, please continue posting the dumbest comments a human could possibly post on any gossip site. Thanks for the laughs!!!!! Poor thing. LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cant figure out witch one is crazier, Nicole or this nut job that stalks any tweet about Blohan
THANK YOU LINDSAY@lindsaylohanx34h
And it's true @lindsaylohan was at 1oak last night. Verified
no parlaments and no dressing like a slut ummm bye bye lilo
Another good part of the Letterman interview is she was guest one and the promotors for SM5 were able to score her two segments. She found out real quick one segment was going to suck. As far as TMZ's spin on whether or not it was a wise move on her part to choose a rehab with temptations to go party nearby. Nevermind that temptation to flee, how about this place looks and sounds from some on here that it seems to be flat out to be a miserable place to be. Blo doesn't do miserable well.
i saw the whole interview. letterman played that amazing. i have new respect for his skill. i actually feel sad for blo. she's ONLY 26, and she's like this addict who's had her time in the Hollywood spotlight, and because she can't get it together, she spit herself out of the easiest moneymaking job in the world, outside of hedge fund manager. she should take this sh*t serious, and not complain one second in rehab. there's a lot of people that wish they could have any job right now, and make a few bucks to feed their family.
(sing to Live and let die melody)
Well yer not young
so your fart
in an open place
creates a scene
to live and let live (gasp for breath)
yer not a kid yer not a kid yer not a kid
and in this forced reality
yer made to live in
makes Smith give up and cry....
Lindsay lick my brown eye
Lick my brown eye...(Lindsay stop blowing that arab for a minute) and
I missed Letterman, so I watched the You tube rerun.
Here it is if you missed it too:
this is so funny, she has the justice system jumping through hoops to accomadate her and when she walks out of this rehab the court will only give her another chance, if I got away with all the crap she gets away with I would be laughing at the justice system too, must be nice, steal what you want from whom ever you want, lying to cops, dont pay your taxes, break probation and what do you get, 15 minutes in jail, home detention at a luxury beach condo and rehab in the Hamptons

A 58-year-old man from Red Oak was shot by another member of his hunting party Sunday morning near Indianola. The Iowa Dept. of Natural Resources says Miles Sagen was hit in the shoulder/upper chest area by a deer slug fired at a running deer by someone else in his 9-member hunting party Sunday morning around 8:30 a.m. DNR officials say dense fog caused visibility to be less than 100 yards, even if the person was wearing blaze orange. The slug traveled approximately 144 yards before striking Sagen, according to the DNR. Sagen was taken to a Des Moines hospital where his condition has not been released.

Love Will Out | T. Thorn Coyle: Know Thyself
"To give one set of citizens rights denied to another set is illegal and unjust. However, for me, allowing two men or two women to marry one another just isn't enough…
What right does government have to tell us what sorts of relationships are important to us, or what sorts of families we can build and grow together? We cannot build the society I want for us all – a society of comrades and friends, who care for one another's children, who wipe away the tears of a friend we've had for 30 years, who share food and housing when times are tough or when times are very good – we cannot build this when we are intent upon saying that love is only important, and only has rights, when shared between two people.
Love is greater than that. We are greater than that. I firmly trust that we can work out how to love and whom to commit to on our own." [i.e., without the government's intervention]

(Reuters) - Anaheim Ducks forward Jean-Francois Jacques has been suspended for three games for delivering an elbow to the head of R.J. Umberger of the Columbus Blue Jackets, the National Hockey League (NHL) said Monday.
Jacques was assessed a major penalty for the illegal check, which occurred late in the third period of Anaheim's 7-4 victory on Sunday.
The 26-year-old left wing will forfeit nearly $24,000 in salary and will be eligible to return January 15 at Vancouver.
"J.F. hit a player that was vulnerable after shooting the puck, and he needs to be more aware in those situations," Ducks General Manager Bob Murray said in a statement. "We accept the league's ruling and will move forward."
Jacques was suspended for four preseason games and five regular-season games after coming off the bench to fight Vancouver's Mike Duco during a preseason contest on September 24.

Retribution Paladin DPS Gems, Enchants, Professions, and Consumables (MoP 5.4)
On this page, we present you with the best gems and enchants for a Retribution Paladin in World of Warcraft MoP 5.4. We also list the best consumables (food, flasks, and potions) and profession-specific perks.
Make sure to check our Gear Optimisation Guide, which serves as a support guide for this page.
The other pages of our Retribution Paladin guide can be accessed from the table of contents on the right.
This guide has been reviewed and approved by Anafielle (@Anafielle), one of the authors of Sacred Duty and an accomplished raider on her own.
1. Gems↑top
1.1. Strength Gemming
|Reverberating Primal Diamond or Capacitive Primal Diamond (better)
|Fierce Vermilion Onyx/ Perfect Fierce Tiger Opal
|Etched Imperial Amethyst/ Perfect Etched Roguestone
1.2. Haste Gemming
|Reverberating Primal Diamond or Capacitive Primal Diamond (better)
|Quick Sun's Radiance/ Perfect Quick Sunstone or Bold Serpent's Eye (JC)
|Lightning Wild Jade/ Perfect Lightning Alexandrite
If you are still unsure what the optimal gemming strategy is for your character, you can Ask Mr. Robot for a personalised optimisation of your character's gear, by filling the form below.
2. Enchants↑top
|Main Enchantments
|Extra Enchantments
|Enchant Chest - Glorious Stats
|Socket Bracer (Blacksmithing)
|Enchant Gloves - Super Strength
|Living Steel Belt Buckle
Note that Extra Enchantments can be applied to an item in addition to a Main Enchantment.
3. Consumables↑top
3.1. Food
You should always eat food that gives you Strength. You will be granted:
- 300 Strength by Black Pepper Ribs and Shrimp, Fluffy Silkfeather Omelet, or Pandaren Treasure Noodle Soup;
- 275 Strength by Eternal Blossom Fish, Deluxe Noodle Soup, Banquet of the Grill, or Great Banquet of the Grill;
- 250 Strength by Charbroiled Tiger Steak, Noodle Soup, or any of other banquets.
3.2. Flask
Your flask should be a Flask of Winter's Bite.
3.3. Potion
During the encounter, your best choice for a potion will be Potion of Mogu Power.
4. Summing-up Profession Perks↑top
Choosing a profession for your Retribution Paladin can impact your raid performance. As a rule, you should shy away from gathering professions (with the exception of Herbalism), which leaves the following viable professions for raiding:
|Provides +1000 Attack Power in average through Swordguard Embroidery, instead of +180 Critical Strike from Enchant Cloak - Superior Critical Strike and +180 Hit from Enchant Cloak - Accuracy.
|Provides a 320 Strength gain through two extra sockets, Socket Bracer and Socket Gloves, in which you can fit 2 Bold Primordial Ruby.
|Provides a 320 Strength gain through the ability of using 2 Bold Serpent's Eye.
|Provides an 320 Strength gain to your flask through Mixology.
|Provides a 320 Strength gain through Enchant Ring - Greater Strength.
|Provides +1,920 Strength for 10 seconds every minute through Synapse Springs (the overall gain is +320 Strength).
|Provides a 320 Strength gain through Secret Tiger Fang Inscription.
|Provides an 320 Strength gain through Fur Lining - Strength. Also provides Draconic Leg Reinforcements, a much cheaper equivalent to Angerhide Leg Armor, the traditional leg enchant.
|Provides a 480 Haste Rating gain in average through Lifeblood.
Tailoring and Engineering is currently the best profession combination for Retribution Paladins. Tailoring is good because it provides an attack power bonus that is greater than that from other professions, and the proc lines up nicely with other trinket procs.
Engineering should be your second profession, as it provides you with Synapse Springs, which you can line up with Execution Sentence, and with other cooldowns.
Blacksmithing is a viable alternative to Tailoring. It provides a Haste Rating increase higher than that offered by any other profession.
5. Changelog↑top
- 13 Jan. 2014: Added new food items added in patch 5.4.
- 10 Sep. 2013: Patch 5.4: removed Frag Belt, following its nerf.
- 20 May 2013: Patch 5.3 update: nothing to change.

LONDON (Reuters) - Financier Nat Rothschild has resigned from the board of Bumi Plc
Rothschild's resignation comes as the board of the miner is looking at a $1.38 billion offer from Indonesia's influential Bakrie family, who co-founded the venture with Rothschild, to exit their stake and take back the firm's operating assets.
The offer last week followed allegations of wrongdoing at some of those Indonesian operations - including part-owned Bumi Resources
"Given the scale of the alleged irregularities, as well as other facts not yet in the public domain, it would be a disgrace to proceed with, or even to entertain, the proposal," Rothschild said in a letter to Bumi chairman and major investor Samin Tan.
"I believe that this proposal is so obviously not in the interests of minority shareholders that I find it impossible to stay on as a director. I am afraid that I have lost confidence in the ability of the (Bumi) Plc board to stand up for investors."
Rothschild said Tan was complicit in the oppression of minority shareholders. He also said in his letter that he regretted that Tan and the Bakries had "done such damage to Indonesia's reputation internationally".
There was no immediate public response from Tan to the letter.
"What a disappointment Mr Nat Rothschild has been to us and all shareholders," Christopher Fong, Bakrie Group Senior Vice President. "This man has a lot to answer for, and now he has the audacity to say we have disgraced Indonesia."
Fong repeated the Bakries' call for Rothschild to return all shares and other benefits received as commission for the venture, which is now being dismantled.
The Bumi Plc boardroom is no stranger to battles between investors.
Rothschild's call last year for a "radical clean-up" saw him ousted as co-chairman. As Bumi's shares tumbled this year, tensions had also risen between Tan, who invested $1 billion to bail out the Bakrie family, and the Bakries themselves.
Rothschild said Tan, whom he said would receive more favorable treatment than smaller investors in the plan to dismantle the group, was not acting in the interests of minority shareholders in Bumi Plc.
He said Tan, a partner of the Bakries, would be reimbursed for his $1 billion, debt-funded investment at 10.91 pounds a share, against 4.30 pounds a share for other investors. The company's stock is currently trading at 2.45 pounds.
"I regret to say, it (is) also my opinion that investors cannot have confidence in the ability of the (Bumi) Plc Board to do the right thing," Rothschild said.
Bumi said its directors, which have appointed investment bank Rothschilds to do due diligence on the Bakrie split proposal, were "unanimous" that a solution should be considered on a separation after "irreconcilable differences" between the miner's founders.
"But they have not formed a view on value," Nick von Schirnding, Head of Corporate Affairs at Bumi Plc, said.

Manny Ramirez hit a home run in Taiwan last night, over a 325 foot fence and into nearly empty bleachers. It was beautiful.
See you later, baby! Show me the money!
I was rooting for Manny when he tried to come back with Oakland last year. I believe the game is better with Manny. Yes, Manny has his baggage — Manny will be Manny — but at his core, Manny Ramirez is just a fun baseball player. He might be the most fun player I've watched in my (admittedly short) baseball watching life. Manny is sports fun at its essence, from the sheer beauty of his swing to his unpredictable nature to his utter elation when things were going well — which, given his talent, was pretty often.
The thing with these fun players is they never truly give up on baseball. Manny isn't the only one. Vladimir Guerrero is still around, playing independent baseball on Long Island. Rickey Henderson played anywhere there was dirt on the infield into his 50s. Eric Byrnes's first act upon his retirement was to dominate the slow-pitch softball diamond. You can take these players out of baseball, but you can't take the baseball out of their hearts.
For sports fans — especially the large subset of sports fans who were amateur athletes in their personal glory days — there's something strikingly human about seeing the great ones toiling past their prime on whatever field will take them. It's an experience so many go through, whether its the high school scrub seeking out any intramural team willing to take him or the weekend warrior who still lives for her rec leagues and pickup games.
Manny's pickup game just happens to be in Taiwan. The stands aren't always full. The infields don't have grass. His opponents wear the same 7-Eleven-sponsored jerseys that grace slow-pitch and recreational leagues across America. But there, on that otherwise anonymous field an ocean away, is Manny Ramirez, and even at 40 years old and an ocean away, he still represents the pure fun and beauty baseball is at its best.

|Former Milwaukee Bucks GM Larry Harris says team isn't far from contention
|Written by Admin
|Thursday, 20 March 2008 13:47
One day after being fired, Harris said he felt good about the roster decisions he made since he was hired in July 2003.
``I think whoever the new GM is, I think that person can sit here and say the cupboard isn't bare,'' Harris said Thursday.
He mentioned guards Michael Redd and Mo Williams, whom he re-signed, as formidable scorers. He also talked about his recent draft picks - former No. 1 pick Andrew Bogut and rookie Yi Jianlian - and said all four players form a core group of young players.
``Hopefully I paved the way for the next guy to come in and not have to change a lot,'' said Harris, who hadn't talked to any Bucks players since his firing.
The team announced Harris's departure as general manager on Wednesday after he lobbied unsuccessfully to have his contract renewed at the end of June. After discussions with his advisers during the weekend, team owner Sen. Herb Kohl decided to let Harris leave immediately.
Player personnel director Dave Babcock is handling day-to-day operations as Kohl searches for a replacement. Potential candidates include TV analyst and former coach Doug Collins, former Sonics GM Rick Sund and Pacers CEO Donnie Walsh.
Harris got emotional when he expressed his appreciation for Kohl. He choked up for a moment, pausing in silence before finding his voice.
``I don't want it to be forgotten what Sen. Kohl did for me,'' he said, tapping his finger on a table to underscore his point.
The team has struggled all season, and its 23-44 record is third-worst in the Eastern Conference. But the Bucks' performance hit an especially embarrassing low Tuesday night when they lost at home to the Miami Heat, the worst team in the league. Milwaukee was booed as it squandered its 18th fourth-quarter lead en route to a 112-106 loss.
Harris said his conversations with Kohl began two days before the Heat game.
``As embarrassed as I am about that effort and losing to that team, Miami had nothing to do with it,'' Harris said of his firing.
Harris tried to improve the team midseason by trying to trade for the Knicks' Zach Randolph, but Kohl squelched talks after studying Randolph's off-the-court issues. Still, Kohl denied allegations that he kept Harris from doing his job.
``He's had the freedom to do what he's wanted or needed to do. It doesn't mean that any general manager anywhere has total freedom to do anything they want to do,'' Kohl said. ``There has been a minimum of second-guessing, if any.''
Harris agreed but declined to elaborate.
``It's in the past,'' he said. ``I was honored to have this job for five years. That's all I'll say on that.''
Harris never made the impact he'd hoped for after being hired as GM. He'd been with the franchise full-time since 1990 when he was the scout-video coordinator under his father, then-coach Del Harris.
But the younger Harris' teams faltered as he went through a stream of coaches from Terry Porter to Terry Stotts before settling on Larry Krystkowiak in March 2007.
Harris' teams made the playoffs in 2004 and 2006, but failed to win more than one game in each first-round series.
When asked why his teams struggled, he joked that if he knew the answer to that question he'd still be employed. He acknowledged the team's tendency to play lax defense, but he defended Krystkowiak as a coach who still deserves time to develop.
Harris also denied that Milwaukee's small-market status made it tough to attract free agents, noting that players are drawn to winning teams regardless of geography.
He said he's not sure what his next career move will be, and he wants to stay in Milwaukee where he has lived for 20 years, but noted that the NBA is all he knows.

The real WTF: two copies of the same $0 account suspension
important updates to this comment can be found on the website.
(Askimet gains another unfan)
With two different messages from the sender
Re: $$.$$
2011-11-04 10:53 • by Dereleased-work (unregistered)
Somebody's process went pop.
TRWTF is charging an asses fee on an ATM amchine. You'd think that was part of the standard service.
And two slightly different images.
Bah. The banks have to assess how much they can gouge you for, before they actually come out with the amount. Kind of like how used car salesmen always open with the question "How much are you willing to spend?", so they know what sort of commission they are shooting for. Don't any of you know how banks work these days?
Maybe its short for "an ass access fee".
They just wanted to make sure that you have a copy that you can print out and tape to your monitor so that you don't forget your password.
You could also argue that this is a security mechanism against someone trying to hijack your account and change your password without you knowing it, in which case there should be a link somewhere for reporting unauthorized password changes (which also allows you to set up a new password, which leads to yet another e-mail with your new extra-secure password for you to print out and tape to your monitor)
That patient portal is so secure that they can't disclose the location.
The first mispelling was intentional. Too subtle?
Same notification sent to two (well, probably a lot more than two) different people, which two different people submitted it to tdwtf, and since Alex never checks for duplicate entries (another WTF altogether that has been reported many times) they both ended up on today's Error'd.
No, I got that. I guess my response was too obvious?
Yes - as stated, you owe them $0.00. The good news is, you don't need to pay since the service is Free.
All the Lenovo drivers seem to work that way. The installer you thought you were running was just an overly fancy archive extractor that extracted the installer to a temp^H^H^H^Hpermanent location on the hard drive.
[quote="Petr O"]
I wonder what the interest for $0 USD is going to be
None - as stated, you owe them nothing. The bad news is, you need to have paid this in the year double-zero.
Let me guess: The real WTF is Micro$oft Office. Amirite?
I'm missing something on the Office one. It looks like he has 32-bit Access installed, but 64-bit versions of other Office apps, and was trying to install one big Office suite over everything without uninstalling the others first. Doesn't seem like a WTF.
I think he was trying to install MS Project over an Office installation. Project is not part of Office. And it is not unusual to have Access installation separate from office installations. Also, you should be able to install different versions of Office on the same machine. I have done this in the past.
Brian, get out of the way, you're making a disgraceful shadow on the ... screen *picture*... ?! wtf !
So it was *not* a screen capture. Shouldn't we assume a "wooden-table" kind of poster ? here on TDWTF ?!
This world is just falling into pieces.
--- edit : *oh* Hum... ok it's not exactly a screen. BUT FUCKING MOVE YOUR ASS FROM HERE, ANYWAY !
So, yes, I'm TRWTF of my own comment. What a thrill.
U on drugs, bro?
I didn't allowed you to talk, worm
Return to your basement
Who isn't?
Maybe he figured since you were so bad at talking, he could do it for you.
Is it me, or is "Hat3r" sounding more and more like a bot?
Kind of sounds like Nagesh, but without pulling the race card.
On a completely unrelated topic: is it just me or are ALL Indian developers shite?
If so, then not a very good one. The programmer who designed it must be dumber than a bag of hammers.
I'm shocked no one has commented on the Redbud sign.
You'll be more shocked to realize that someone already did, even if the comment was bizarre and telling.
Welcome to the future.
Ty: You take drugs, Danny?
Danny: Every day.
Ty: Good. Then what's your problem?
Danny: <shrugs> I dunno...
More pertinently, perhaps - it looks like the amount of the fee overflowed the field, so I'd guess the fee is over $100. Thank G(h)od the bank isn't gouging you for using their effing machine!
No you don't not owe them nothing. But dep has it backwards. They told you it was free, so you should have known you would be expected to pay $0.00. Don't blame others if you can't be bothered to read the fine print.
Look, it's a pink tree. No one's going to want that in their yard, except maybe that zune retard. But once you get one you can't remove it: they tell you right up front DO NOT REMOVE. So I'd avoid it if I were you.
Look closely Adam Thompson -- the email message with the password says extra line breaks were removed. That's why my password is nothing but fourteen line breaks. It is a safety feature that prevents it from being emailed.

I don't think I'd get a test tree anyway - I'd buy one from production.
The service suspension message says please contact us as soon as possible... by replying to firstname.lastname@example.com?
Someone needs to get outside more often.
Are you suggesting teh evil hakkerz will use something else to snoop my password? Is there something else?
Just like no two fingerprints are the same, no two installations of Lenovo Fingerprint Software are ever the same. So you may want to install it as many times as it takes to get a working version.
Sory ur primative brane canot be understanding our enginutiy.
Well, Brendan, did you go online as you were instructed? And did you click on Patient Portal? Don't blame your inability to follow a simple procedure on others. Sounds to me like you do have a sleephealth problem after all.
(You mean your computer doesn't automatically go to our portal when you click on the intertube thingie? Mine does. And I thought everybody's computer would work just like mine.)
Yeah, I wasn't aware that Ryanair operates ATMs.
It's an RAS ysndrome fee.
You keep using that word. I don't think it means what you think it means.
Looks like a redbud tree to me. We have lots of them around here. Very pretty in spring.
Yeah, what he's doing sounds like an unusual edge case. Besides, you'd only expect major software vendors to bother with things like making installers compatible with various different configurations of their own previous products.
Oh wait...

Must you go on fucking this dead whore?
I'd like to see you turn into a real flamer, but you're just not putting in the time and effort. I'm getting really disappointed.
Despite what you may infer, I didn't suggest anything - my correction only asserted that Outlook was responsible for removing the extra line breaks.

How on earth can WSG be geared more towards Horde?
The maps are exactly the same on both sides with the exception being alliance has nicer walls on top so you can't see the flag up there.
Please explain how having a perfectly balanced map favors the Horde? Do try and make sense.
If your Battle group has Alliance that are clueless, and, well, suck it is not the map's fault.
In my battlegroup I don't bother trying to do WSG. It's where the Alliance heavies hang out. They grab our flag and then camp us while we get frustrated and can't do enough damage to stop them. I often wonder why someone wearing full S2 gear needs to hang out in WSG, but they seem to enjoy it.
I just don't bother with that place anymore. I also don't act like I can't win a BG and do fairly well in any of the other BGs.
Don't blame the map for bad skills. Especially not a map that is a mirror image for the two sides. AV was horrible for horde pre-2.3. A good turtle at the bridge meant we got a decent amount of honor but lost. Now the tactics have had to change and the battles end up being determined by the better players.
Whirlwind is pretty fair as a battle group.

China Could Be Next Big Market for Frax
Palo Alto, Calif. consulting group Frost & Sullivan predicts that China is Asia's greatest potential source of new fractional owners and that the Chinese government is prepared to clear regulatory and operational hurdles to business aviation growth. Nonetheless, according to Frost & Sullivan, it will be several more years before fractional ownership providers establish permanent operations in China. The company expects the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing to be a significant catalyst for market growth.

Edward Rushton makes a stand
21 January 2011 by Lynn
**24 January: Unfortunately, this talk has been cancelled.**
Next week on Monday 24 January Dr. Franca Dellarosa will be giving a lecture at the Anthony Walker Education Centre at the International Slavery Museum.
Starting at 5.30pm her talk Rebellious Poetics: Slavery, Oppression and Agency in Edward Rushton's Writings (1787-1814) will discuss the Liverpool writer Edward Rushton.
Although not well know today, his reputation as a lifelong committed champion of human rights made him famous at the time. In 1797 he wrote a critical paper about George Washington for his failure to extend freedom to the enslaved in North America.
Dr. Franca Dellarosa will explore the global terms of Rushton's civil and political commitment. She will also discuss his use of powerful language in his Expostulatory Letter to George Washington in relation to Liverpool as a slaving port and in the light of developing radical discussion.

A New York perspective on the International Slavery Museum
21 July 2010 by Lynn
Chase Delano, visiting us from Connecticut, close to New York, shares with us her experience of a rainy trip to the Merseyside Maritime Museum and the International Slavery Museum.
Appropriately, it was raining as I made the trek down to the Merseyside Maritime Museum of Liverpool. Despite the rain, friendly strangers stopped to help point me in the direction of the museum—a kind gesture one might not find in the busy streets of New York, especially on a rainy day. I followed a wet crowd through the gates leading down Albert Dock and into the doors of the museum. The place was filled with people of all ages—from grandparents to grandchildren—and amongst the four floors of different exhibitions, each generation found something of interest to them. Read more…

High-stick or no high-stick? You be the judge; Great Lemaire stuffPosted on January 4th, 2009 – 1:56 PM
By Michael Russo
(updated a bit)
On Johan Franzen's no-goal reversal last night that tied the score at 2-2 late and forced overtime, here are two screen captures emailed to me by a reader as taken from nhl.com video. You be the judge.
Incidentally, here is that Sunday column I mentioned two days ago that I wrote about the tragedy of Marian Gaborik's injuries. Just a different take on the whole thing, but also addressing all these calls for a short-term deal between Gaborik and the Wild.
Back to the no-goal reversal. I was in contact with the NHL this morning. I talked to Jacques Lemaire this morning. The league sent the Wild the "conclusive" video of the Detroit Red Wings' feed it used to overturn referee Brad Meier's no-goal on Franzen, and Lemaire's mouth dropped. He said there's nothing conclusive on there.
I'll have a lot more on this in tomorrow's paper. I'd say this: I didn't cover the game, but the telling signs — Meier's six feet away, Franzen looked at Meier wave off the goal and didn't argue at all and the league only used Detroit's inferior telecast for feeds. The Wild's feed at 12 cameras and was in hi-def. The Red Wings used six and was in standard-def.
The reversal may have cost the Wild a key point in the standings (with circumstances changed, you can't say for sure Detroit doesn't tie the game anyway with an extra attacker or something). That point would mean the Wild would be eighth today instead of ninth.
Two years ago, a faulty replay in Vancouver (exact circumstance where the Wild had good video and the league was taking an inferior feed) cost the Wild a Pascal Dupuis goal. Remember, the Wild lost the division by one point. If the Wild wins the division that year, it doesn't play Anaheim, which was a terrible matchup.
In 2005, in Denver, Brett McLean scored a goal when the puck squeezed under the net. The league didn't get a replay until after the ensuing puck was dropped. Video goal judge Gary Pedigo, asleep at the switch, slammed the door in my face during the intermission. He still works Avs games though, so maybe we'll reminisce tonight.
Wild has an extremely optional skate this morning. Only like six guys, so I can't give you the for-sure lineup. Other than one poor sap, as you'll see a little below, is definitely press-box bound.
Marek Zidlicky will be a game-time decision today. He'll skate warmups. Listening to Lemaire today, if Zidlicky plays, I'm not too sure John Scott doesn't get the nod over Erik Reitz, whom Lemaire doesn't have much confidence in. Just look at Reitz's ice time lately even with the Wild shorthanded on the blue line (Zidlicky's illness yesterday and Kim Johnsson not playing against Calgary).
Also, Benoit Pouliot is so much in the back of Lemaire's doghouse, he can't even see daylight. He got bagged alone today by assistant Mike Ramsey like few players I've ever seen. He could hardly breathe in the thin Colorado air. I guess if he won't skate in games, he'll have to skate in practices, eh?
Krys Kolanos has essentially taken his job because Lemaire says, "he shows more." Lemaire said it's a "maturity" issue with Pouliot, who essentially was given a free pass to be on the team this year even though he didn't prove he warranted it in Houston.
On the lack of playing time recently of guys like Reitz, Craig Weller, Colton Gillies, Pouliot, even Stephane Veilleux last night, Lemaire was fascinating today on the subject.
"These guys, they can't drop. They don't realize that. If they drop, then I can't play anybody."
Lemaire then looked at me and said, "I'll play you. You know why? We're going to lose anyway."
Russo: "Guaranteed."
On Reitz: "He's got to get his game a little better. He's got to get quicker, he's got to get some aspects of his game better. He's trying.
"It's more patience from me. You can't have that patience when you have to win. It's when you see that if you have no chance to be there, then I can have patience. Now, that patience will take one game two points from you, another two points another game, another game another two points, and these six points will ruin you.
"So where do I stop? It's not just Reitz. It's everybody. Pouliot, Weller, Veilleux, all the guys that didn't play the last five, six minutes last night."
Because you're scoring, the margin for error is thinner than ever?
"Exactly. If you see at a time you have no chance at all, then I'll play them to give them more confidence. They'll make mistakes, they'll get a goal against, doesn't matter. When we have no choice that they have to get better. But now, we're still in between. Until we decide where we're going, I have to be like this.
"Like last year, we were great for awhile, we had a tough stretch of not even a month (he's talking in February, early-March). Two-three weeks max that everything was upside down. We could have went down, but everyone picked it up and we went up. But we had to cut down on certain guys to play. Some guys played more, other guys played less because you want to win."
So you're saying you can't afford to play certain guys here unless the season tanks? "Then I can play them."
When the two beat writers laughed, Lemaire said, "And it won't be funny."
Talk to you before the game.

FRIDAY, Aug. 13 (HealthDay News) -- Young Americans' exposure to
alcohol ads in magazines declined 48 percent between 2001 and 2008,
according to a new study.
The analysis of magazine ads found that 325 alcohol brands
advertised in magazines in 2008, but just 16 brands accounted for
half the ads placed in publications more likely to be seen by
youths than adults.
The findings suggest that alcohol makers have largely met the
industry's voluntary standard (adopted in 2003) of not placing ads
in magazines with 30 percent or more youth readership, said the
researchers at the Center on Alcohol Marketing and Youth (CAMY) at
the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.
However, magazines are still a major source of exposure to these
ads. In 2008, they noted, 78 percent of youth exposure to alcohol
ads in magazines occurred in publications more likely to be read by
people ages 12 to 20 than by those ages 21 and older.
"It continues to make no sense to advertise more heavily to those who cannot purchase alcohol than to those who can," CAMY Director David H. Jernigan said in a Hopkins news release. "Yet a relatively small number of brands are still doing this, despite industry efforts to tighten the standard in order to reduce youth exposure."
Among the other findings:
"Beer advertisers appear to be filling the gap left by distillers in youth-oriented magazines. If the entire industry is serious about underage drinking, it should adopt stricter standards to protect against youth exposure to its advertising," Jernigan said in the release.

U.S. soldiers will serve up to 15 months in Iraq and Afghanistan instead of one year, Defense Secretary Robert Gates said on Wednesday, the latest sign of the strain the wars have placed on the U.S. military.
Gates said the move would allow the military to sustain the boost in U.S. forces in Iraq, ordered by President George W. Bush in January, for about a year if desired but it was too early to say how long the increased troop levels actually would be needed.
"Our forces are stretched, there's no question about that," Gates said.
"I realize this decision will ask a lot of our Army troops and their families," he said.
Gates portrayed the policy as an effort to make deployments more predictable for troops and their families. Previously, the Pentagon has had to extend tours of duty for individual units or send them earlier than planned to maintain force levels.
But the administration's critics said the decision was a blow to the military, the troops and their families.
"This new policy will be an additional burden to an already overstretched Army," said Rep. Ike Skelton, a Democrat who chairs the Armed Services Committee in the House of Representatives.
"I think this will have a chilling effect on recruiting, retention and readiness. We also must not underestimate the enormous negative impact this will have on Army families."
Democrats seeking an end to the unpopular Iraq war want Bush to set a timetable for withdrawal. The administration says troops can only leave when Iraq has stabilized or U.S. national security will be in jeopardy.
Gates said all troops serving in the region covered by U.S. Central Command — stretching from East Africa across the Middle East and into Central Asia — could expect to be deployed for up to 15 months and spend 12 months at home.
The policy is effective immediately and also applies to units already in the region, he said.
The new policy on deployments applies only to the active duty Army and not to the National Guard or Marine Corps.
National Guard troops should be mobilized for up to a year and Marines currently deploy for seven months followed by six months at home, the Pentagon says.
There are currently some 145,000 U.S. troops in Iraq and 25,000 in Afghanistan.
As part of Bush's plan, the U.S. military is the midst of boosting its Iraq force by 28,000 combat and support troops.
Previously, the Pentagon had enough troops in place to maintain that increase until August but many analysts expect it to last longer.
"Whether it will be kept in place depends entirely on the conditions on the ground," Gates said.
The Pentagon's goal for active duty Army troops is that they spend two years at home for every year deployed, but it has not been able to meet that target in recent years.
At the moment, Army units average about a year at home for every year deployed, Pentagon officials say.
In an effort to tackle the strains on the military, Gates earlier this year ordered an increase in the size of both the Army and the Marine Corps.

Uranium poisoning is no joke, lady. It is truly one damn nasty thing to have. And your spousal unit will almost certainly be affected and/or afflicted by it with some degree. Up to including dying from it and being a possible parent to deformed babies because of genetic damage. I would highly recommend you start researching DU and what it does. You will not be pleased or so ready to wave the flag of patriotism, doing the my-country-right-or-wrong routine.
The only reason the USA is in the Middle East is for the sake of oil and war profiteering. And because those in the White House have a streak of sadism a mile wide. The scuttlebutt was that images and videos of the sadism that went on in the prisons made it back to the Pentagon and the White House for masturbation pleasure. We have some true sickos in the top levels. Those "real leaders" are hypocrites and some are genuinely evil.
And start researching the 9/11 events for yourself so you will have a better understanding of what really happened.
Just start surfing the links, going from one place to the next, to the next, to the next. Use a search engine to get more information.
Good luck, lady. You have a lot of work ahead of you. And if you're still of child-bearing age and plan to have future children, get a uranium test done on your spousal unit. I hear it's not cheap, but you'll need the information to make your choices as what you will do. If the test is positive, you may want to forget having children.
Instead of only 12 months of exposure to uranium poisoning and contamination, now they'll get an extra 3 months.
Those lucky dawgs!
Jeepers! I feel so envious! But then, who wouldn't?
Isn't it wondeful how our commander n decider supports his troops? They sure are a lucky bunch of soldiers. Just think! They would not have that extra 3 months of Mid East vacation time if those unpatriotic democrats were in charge. They wouldn't have all those war toys to play with or be able to watch those bombs blow people up. What a wonderful president they have!
[Gates].. says he realizes this will be an increase burden on soldiers and families, well big f**king deal on what YOU think bonehead. You could care less alone with your neocon master, Bushidiot and Cheneymoron. None of you care, in fact it was this crowd (our true enemy) that destroyed the twin towers. Look at the documentaries on google videos.
If congress does not act [soon] to impeach both cheney and bush then who knows except to say we are in a shit load of troube. This country may have reached a point where it may not be possible to save it.
How could anyone still think that Bu$hco Inc. wouldn't be so evil as to be involved in the 911 massacre of innocent americans just to use it for a reason for war. Heartless and evil little man who went awol when it was his duty to serve. And second in command shirked his duty by buying deferments. Bush nor Cheney are worthy to fill thier positions.
How could anyone not see where this is going. Welcome to the world of war. A ficticous war against a ficticous enemy. The traitors in the white house are determined to ruin America morally, and financially. Those are necessary deeds in the prelude to destruct an entire democracy.
Can America really take anymore ruinous actions of the Bu$h Bunch?
This administration continues to demonstrate its heartlessness and lack of compassion by extending the "time served" by our military in Iraq. I fully believe that this is being done in retaliation against Congress's investigation of their underhanded maneuvers and lies as well as Congress's bills to force Bush Inc. to toe the line in accordance to the Constitution they so despise. Bush doesn't care who he walks over or crushes to get what he wants. He and his cartel shed crocodile tears over tragedy even as they sell out those who are suffering. Then they'll blame the Democrats for the actions they take. I don't think I've seen a group of adults behave so openly like a gang of unruly children in my life. A most despicable lot who deserve nothing less than long-term imprisonment.
W & co must have noticed that many people were comparing Iraq to 'Nam so W & co's Pentagon REMF's made a policy change 15 month tours for RA grunts to replace 12 month tours. I wonder if po'ed RA grunts will respond by fragging officers, senior NCO's AND reserve-NG troops. Another divisive measure by the uniter W.
Wazzamattau? Don't act so surprised! Anyone with half a brain could see that those 30,000 were just a predecessor to test the resolve of Congress and the American People. Both failed miserably. Shame on them and shame on us.
The funding should have been cut, the money withdrawn. It would not be disloyal to our noble warriors, it would be the right thing to do.
No money means they can't stay. They can't stay means they must go. They must go, well, where?
Home! The USA. Bring them home NOW!
We didn't do it. So now what? First step, extend the tour of duty. Second step, more troops. Sure, I said MORE troops. More targets for the Iraquis to kill for what we did to their country. More men and women = more money. More money = more to steal. Bush and Cheney steal MORE. Get Richer.
While we talk and complain, they pocket our money. Bush once called a reporter an "asshole" when Bush was campaigning during election #1. I wouldn't be surprised if both he and Cheney are calling us all "Assholes" for sitting back and putting up with their lying, theiving, stealing duplicitious acts of treason.
Write your Congressmen. Force them to act. Get the Impeachment process started NOW. It is never too soon and it is never too late. The time to act is NOW. NO = No on W. Don't be an asshole forever. Act. Say NO NOW.
Cariann, I thank soldiers for thier commitment in defense of our free nation. But our soldiers are not being used for defense. Saddam had nothing to do with 911. Bin Laudin had nothing to do with it otherwise the FBI would have enough evidence to issue an arrest warrant, but they don't have any evidence. The evidence of 911 was quickly trucked away and sent to china and was never analyzed. Seven of the socalled highjackers are alive and well. I'm sorry Cariann that your family is sacrificing and I pray your husband returns safely, the sooner the better. You have been truly misled concerning 911, the phoney war on terror, and the slaughter of Iraqi people. Your president does not give a dam about anybody in this country including the troops he places in harms way for illegal and immoral purposes. Iraq was no threat whatsoever. Al Quida is arabic for " the list " That is what the CIA refered to as freedom fighters that we trained to fight against the soviet occupation of afganistan. Yes, CIA operatives. The US has armed and trained thousands of them. That is where they learned to make roadside bombs.
You can thank George Bush sr for developing radical islamic terrorists to start trouble throughout the world and giving the US an excuse to profit from its wars. That is what its all about. I hope your man returns to you unharmed.
My heart aches for your delusion and you and your family's sacrifice, My prayers are with you.
My heart aches for your delusion and you and your family's sacrifice, My prayers are with you.

Q: Why do you not believe that other people's minds exist?
A: It's quite simple, really. I can be quite certain of my own existence – it's the whole "I think, therefore I am" thing. But as for the existence of other minds, well, that's a much trickier thing to prove. I can see that there are these funny-looking things that walk around and talk to me and generally do things that would indicate that they have minds like me, but I can't really be sure. There's nothing to distinguish my econ professor, for instance, from a robot that could pass the Turing test. Just because people act like they have minds doesn't mean that they aren't basically just machines responding to stimuli.
Q: But can't you look in someone's eyes when they're hurting and see that they really feel that pain?
A: Furbies could make some pretty convincing displays of pain. People are just really complex Furbies.

If one is a coincidence, two is a concern and three is a trend, then job of linebacker in the NFL is trending in a bad direction with a rash of injuries that complicates deciding who are the best in the business.
In this chapter of a series by The Sports Xchange, linebackers were evaluated by reporters covering each team, but injuries are a complicating factor in analyzing what otherwise would have been the top units in the league.
Some of the best, if not the best, linebackers are spending more time in rehabilitation and/or on injured reserve than playing the game.
On Tuesday, that M.A.S.H. unit of sidelined linebackers added the name of Buffalo's brilliant young Kiko Alonso, while in Dallas star middle linebacker Sean Lee was placed on injured reserve and, in desperation, the Cowboys traded for controversial former first-round pick Rolando McClain. The Falcons also lost Sean Weatherspoon (Achilles) to an offseason injury.
Other great linebackers sidelined too often include Houston's Brian Cushing, who is making a second comeback in three seasons, and, most dramatically, San Francisco's NaVorro Bowman, possibly the most dynamic inside linebacker in the NFL last season.
And, yes, that is claiming he was better than teammate Patrick Willis, who is still among the best even if he is a step slower, and Carolina's consistent Luke Kuechly, whose text-book play is the key to a defense built around his ample abilities.
Bowman's season came to a sudden and shocking end in the NFC Championship Game when he blew out his knee while making a remarkable goal line play, although the officials fouled up the fact that he actually caused and recovered a fumble.
It was of little solace that because of that play the league made a subsequent rule change that would have allowed a review that certainly would have changed the call on the field. It was a horrid end to a season in which Bowman was arguably the best big-play -- as in game-changing -- inside linebacker in the NFL.
Bills general manager Doug Whaley confirmed Wednesday morning that Alonso, who was already rehabbing a back injury, sustained a significant knee injury while working out on his own in Oregon.
"We have updated information regarding Kiko Alonso from yesterday. Unfortunately, he suffered a torn ACL in his left knee and will most likely miss the 2014 season," Whaley said in a statement. "He will be scheduled for surgery in the near future and begin a rehabilitation program at the appropriate time. We feel badly for Kiko because he has worked very hard this offseason in preparation for the upcoming season, but we look forward to his return with his style of play that made him one of the league's outstanding rookies in 2013."
Alonso was a second-round draft pick (46th overall) whose great rookie season included 159 tackles, four interceptions, one forced fumble, two sacks and was honored as NFL Defensive Rookie of the Month last September.
As for McClain, the Ravens already tried and failed to get him to show the ability that enticed the Raiders into spending their No. 8 overall pick for him in the 2010 draft. He opted to announce his retirement, from which he is now emerging for yet another try in Dallas.
McClain played three seasons in the NFL, leading the Raiders in tackles in 2011. After several off-the-field incidents, he was cut by the Raiders in April 2013. He signed a one-year contract with the Ravens, then he claimed to have retired from football in May 2013.
McClain has not played since 2012, but he is only 24 years old, and has experience playing middle linebacker in a 4-3 scheme, the position the Cowboys need filled after Lee's season-ending injury during offseason workouts in May.
In the midst of all this mayhem, here is analysis by Sports Xchange reporters covering each NFL team:
--LINEBACKERS: Starters - WLB John Abraham, ILB Kevin Minter, ILB Larry Foote, SLB Matt Shaughnessy. Backups - OLB Sam Acho, OLB/ILB Lorenzo Alexander, OLB Alex Okafor, OLB Marcus Benard, ILB Kenny Demens, ILB Ernie Sims, ILB Glen Carson.
Karlos Dansby and Daryl Washington were among the better tandems in the NFL and both are gone, Dansby to free agency and Washington to a minimum one-year suspension. The position is the biggest weakness on the team. Minter, a second-round pick a year ago, played one defensive snap. Now, he's making the calls. Foote is 33. Neither player is known for his pass defense. The outside positions are in much better shape. Shaughnessy is steady and tough, while Abraham (11.5 sacks) proved he has plenty left at age 35. Acho and Alexander started the first three games before going down with injuries. Acho and Okafor, who both missed most of last season with injuries, are healthy. If they stay that way, the team has great depth at outside linebacker.
--LINEBACKERS: Starters -- SLB Prince Shembo, MLB Paul Worrilow, WLB Joplo Bartu. Backups - OLB Marquis Spruill, OLB Walker May, OLB Jacques Smith, OLB Tyler Starr, ILB Yawin Smallwood, ILB Brenden Daly.
The unit was decimated by the loss of Sean Weatherspoon, who will be out for the season with a torn Achilles tendon. Shembo will be placed on the fast track to the starting lineup. Worrilow and Bartu ended last season as starters. Both were productive and flashed some ability. The Falcons are looking for linebackers, who can rush off the edge and drop in coverage.
--LINEBACKERS: Starters -- OLB Terrell Suggs, OLB Courtney Upshaw, ILB Daryl Smith, ILB C.J. Mosley. Backups -- OLB Elvis Dumervil, ILB Arthur Brown, ILB Josh Bynes, OLB Nick DiMarco, ILB Albert McClellan, ILB Zach Orr, OLB Pernell McPhee, OLB John Simon, ILB Austin Spitler, OLB D.J. Roberts.
Although he's been in the NFL for a decade, Smith is one of the most underrated all-around defenders in the NFL. Smith remains fast in pursuit, sharp in pass coverage and is a good blitzer, contributing 123 tackles, three interceptions and five sacks last year as he proved he has plenty of good football left in him. Mosley is the front-runner to start next to Smith at inside linebacker. Suggs made the Pro Bowl for the sixth time, but the Ravens want to see him become more productive for the entire season after watching him wear down last year with just two sacks in the final nine games. In a situational pass-rusher role, Dumervil delivered 9.5 sacks before an ankle injury slowed him down. Upshaw unselfishly stuffs blockers and sets the edge at strong-side outside linebacker.
