After topping the box office last week with his new film, "Ride Along," Kevin Hart is setting up shop at ABC.
The comedian's semiautobiographical comedy has been given a pilot order at the Alphabet Network, Deadline reports.
The multi-camera comedy will be based on Hart's standup and drawn from his life, taking "a candid look at the post-divorce life of a couple trying to forge a friendship for the sake of their kids."
Hart will not star in the series, but he would most likely recur on the show in some form if it is picked up for next fall.
Per Deadline, "Ride Along," in which he stars opposite Ice Cube, grossed nearly $50 million in its first week at the box office.
The funnyman will next hit the big screen on Valentine's Day in a remake of "About Last Night," and he will return in the sequel for "Think Like a Man" later this year.

Today Is Pledge Of Allegiance Day [VIDEO]
Today is both Constitution Day and Pledge of Allegiance Day in the United States.
Today is both Constitution Day and Pledge of Allegiance Day in the United States.
Gun control has always been a major issue of debate in America — right up alongside the more recently heated topics of abortion, same-sex marriage and health care — but the tragic shooting of 71 people during a Colorado theater's showing of 'The Dark Knight Rises' has given this controversy a brand new spotlight.
I've found it necessary to change my Facebook settings to remove a few people from my newsfeed because they had too many EXTREMELY left or right wing political posts (I'm pretty sure the number will grow before November), and I'm already tired of seeing and hearing political ads and the robocalls to my cell phone, but this political ad is different.
In fact, it could be the best political ad I've seen.
How do you top Time's cover featuring a mother breastfeeding her fully-grown child? Call Obama "gay" and give him a rainbow-colored halo.
On the NBC drama 'The West Wing,' the Secret Service code name given to staffer CJ Cregg was "Flamingo." And while she wasn't all that happy about it, it made sense — the character was played by statuesque actress Allison Janney.
But many are scratching their heads about the current code names being used by GOP presidential candidates Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum.
Army Staff Sgt. Robert Bales, the soldier accused of being the lone shooter in the mass murder of Afghan villagers on March 11, will be officially charged today with 17 counts of murder.
Finally, a candidate that we can all take seriously. Er... or maybe not.
The health care law of 2010 was the signature legislation of Barack Obama's first term as President. However, according to a new poll from Gallup, the public is still very divided on the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.
Last week, President Obama issued a directive which would require all health insurance plans to cover the cost of birth control.
Just when you thought politics couldn't get any stranger along comes Callista Gingrich.
No, she hasn't done anything crazy or scandalous, she just has great hair. At least that's what some people are saying.
This weekend we learned that Mitt Romney will almost certainly be running against Barack Obama for President this fall, and that New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning has cemented his status as an elite quarterback by winning his second Super Bowl. Now imagine a crazy scenerio in which only QBs can run for President.
When it comes to his political ideology, President Barack Obama has different Americans seeing very different things.

Nikon today launched its long-anticipated D3X as its new flagship digital SLR. As slipped by the company ahead of time, the new pro camera roughly doubles the sensor density to 24.5 megapixels and produces a native 6048x4032 picture -- enough to rival a medium-format camera in a handheld format, the company claims. The camera also adds 16-bit color processing for further image accuracy improvements over the 14-bit D3.
Lian Li Industrial has released two new products, the EX-P3A/B HDD bracket cooling kit, for adding cooling to an internal hard disk drive, and the CR-26A/B card reader kit, a 3.5-inch bay replacement providing multiple card-reader technology. The drive-cooling bracket is a-5.25 inch bay kit that holds a 3.5-inch drive and utilizes aluminum in direct contact with the drive for heat dissipation. It repeats the SATA connector on the disk to protect it during reinstalls or when the drive is transported between computers. It is available in Silver (EX-P3A) and black (EX-P3B).
DUY has launched an audio plug-in trio, the DUY|31, consisting of its DUY31|graphic, DUY31|analyzer & DUY|noiser for TDM (Time-Division Multiplexing) and Mac OS X based systems. The DUY|graphic plug-in is a 31-band linear-phase graphic equalizer, with fader controls covering a dynamic range of 48 dB. The DUY31|analyzer is a spectrum analyzer which provides a visual representation of the audio signal over 31 bands. The third plug-in, the DUY|noiser generates white and pink noise and can be used with the DUY31|graphic to calibrates audio spaces.
QuickerTek has released an external battery that connects to the iPhone 3G, iPod touch, or any iPod with the 30-pin dock connector. The additional power can be used for 30 hours of music playback, six hours of video, or three hours of talk time, the company claims. A retractable USB charging cable is included with the package. The cable simultaneously charges both the external battery and the iPod/iPhone internal battery. The product is similar to the Richard Solo backup battery, but offers the additional iPod connectivity.
iSkysoft on Friday released the latest version of its video conversion program, Video Converter 22.214.171.124. The update adds support for MKV, WMV, MOD, ASF, MOD and MP2 input formats, as well as MKV and MKA output formats. The program allows users to crop video to remove black sides, trim the length of files, extract audio, or capture pictures while previewing a movie by pressing a snapshot button. Video resolution, frame rate and bit rate can be adjusted, along with audio sample rate, channel, encoder and bit rate.

Once DVDs are sold, The Dark Knight will have made just short of a bazillion dollars. So, I imagine the pressure is on to use the better known villains and even better known actors for a sequel. But I hope Nolan resists the urge, and he may. This is the guy who relaunched the franchise on the backs of Ra's al Ghul and the Scarecrow.
Surprise me.
Heh - the next film surprising us is one thing I'm not worried about.
I don't think it's about better known actors so much as good actors. Luckily there are many good actors who are well known, and so far the execs who are running the Batman franchise and Nolan have done just fine balancing those two aspects. I mean, it's not like Phillip Seymour Hoffman is a giant box office draw. How many people here saw The Savages? But Johnny Depp is, while still being highly skilled. It would be a good mix, though as many say it's just rumors. What's been interesting about the rumors so far in the history of these movies is that the villains are usually right (we heard about Scarecrow and Ra's pretty early on, and Joker too) and the actors are often wrong, because the rumors are generated either by the actors themselves (or at least their agents) making bids for the parts or just looking to up their media cache, or by fans who'd like to see so-and-so in such-and-such part. The one reason to not dismiss completely the actor business is that the very earliest rumors were fan-generated... and turned out to be right. Not only was Christian Bale cast, but he's been amazing in the part.
See, we're not always just wanking ourselves. Only part of the ti... well, maybe 50% of the... okay,

Apparently, Paradox CEO Fred Wester's dream game is set…in Staffordshire, England. Or so you'd think from the very limited CGI trailer we've just been shown at GamesCom, which intones "Staffordshire, 1471″ at its beginning and shows a Very Serious armour-clad Lord scowling as his horse climbs through a wood, scowling when he sees a castle under siege, and scowling as he raises his sword and rides away. He probably scowled when his first child was born. Formerly "Project Postman", this is Paradox's big mystery game: a roaming medieval melee combat game, now revealed as War Of The Roses.

Out Today: Hamilton's Great Adventure
Lead & Gold developer FatShark have their next game coming out on Steam in about three hours. Called Hamilton's Great Adventure, it couldn't have any less to do with their previous output. It's a sort of single-player co-op/local co-op, in which you control adventurer Ernest Hamilton and his parrot friend Sasha, in a series of tile-based puzzles. Although the "tile-based" is nicely presented, giving the impression of a much more lustrous, 3D world. It's a fairly simple affair to control both characters on your own, and with one wholly on the keyboard and the other on the mouse, you can easily share the effort with anyone you keep trapped in your lair. We'll have some proper impressions of the game soon. You'll be able to play it at 8pm tonight (oddly there's no declared price yet), and in the meantime you can read our interview with the developers about the game. And there's the new trailer below.
FatShark Talk Hamilton's Great Adventure
They behind the indie multiplayer shooter Lead And Gold, and remade classic Bionic Commando: Rearmed, have taken quite a different direction for their next game. Hamilton's Great Adventure is a co-op third-person puzzle/adventure. The announcement intrigued us enough to want to know more, so we threw questions at developers FatShark. Their thoughts on co-op, humour and hats are below.
Fatshark Reveals: Hamilton's Great Adventure
Fatshark – they behind multiplayer Western-em-up Lead & Gold – have announced their next game. It's to be a co-op puzzle adventure called Hamilton's Great Adventure. You certainly can't accuse them of being typecast. Details below.
No Diamonds or Pearls: Lead & Gold
Stop looking at that weird thing I'm doing with my finger and my lip in the video below, and harken to this instead. We last wrote about multiplayer cowboy shooter (a subgenre that must henceforth be known as Multiboy) Lead & Gold in October. Seeing as the rootin', tootin' thing's now mere weeks from release, and that you can currently access the beta if you pre-order, let's have another look-see.

Cowboys And Other Cowboys: Lead & Gold
Lead & Gold, a reds vs blues multiplayer shooter inspired by hoodlum-headshotting antics in the Old West, is looking like it might be a tolerable amount of fun. And I mean that, because the trailer really isn't anything to write home about, although it might make for an unusual missive if you do ever actually write home about anything. ("Dear Mother, today I saw a trailer for an unexceptional-looking multiplayer shooter trailer on Rock, Paper, Shotgun. I mean, it doesn't seem like it's anything we haven't seen before, but it might just prove to be fun, and the Wild West environments certainly look well-conceived. Well, that's all I have time for. I hope you're okay. Love, Steve") Better not do that. Write to mum about your feelings instead. Then go watch the trailer and open the sluice gates of opinion into the comments threads below. We'll be panning for nuggets.

Lead & Gold: Gangs Of The Wild West
Just in case you were wondering, the flurry of announcements we're getting now is thanks to the big European games convention in Cologne, which I believe kicks off on the 19th. We'll see lots of new games from European devs showing off there with their latest wares, including new Swedish development studio Fatshark, who have just announced their first game: a multiplayer cowboy shooter, Lead & Gold: Gangs Of The Wild West. It seems that the game is a third-person, team-based shooter constructed using

Tales from Skyrim: Ascent to Madness
SPOILER ALERT! Contains minor information about the Dark Brotherhood quest line
Whiterun was a decent place to start up my new idyllic life. After my time fighting for the Empire, Jarl Balgruuf was nice enough to offer me a home in his city as thanks for my staunch defense of the gates. Needless to say I accepted. It was of appropriate size for a man of my standing, and near the forge. I am just a humble blacksmith, spending my days at the forge and my nights with my lovely wife.
I may have slayed several dragons and quelled a rebellion, but this moment was far more satisfying
Day in and day out I worked the forge, slowly mastering my craft. Many of my old brothers-in-arms urged me to continue my life as an adventurer, but I had a family to take care of. The life of a smith was more satisfying than that of an adventurer, believe it or not. When I hit the steel with my hammer it would sing to me, not unlike the way a bandit would sing after I buried my axe in them. albeit less haunting. I saw immediate results from work, the more I forged the more ornate and extravagant my work became. My wife made life even better, though marrying me did crush her dreams of joining a caravan she did not resent me. She managed to open a small shop, and with the armor I forged for her we did well for ourselves.
Nothing like a day of honest work
My wife may not have held anything against me, but I felt as though I was holding her back. My armor was of legendary quality, but without any buyers I was getting desperate for means to make money to give my wife the life she deserved. I was invited to Solitude by my friend's at the Bard's College, and that's when I saw it. Proudspire Manor. That's the house my wife deserved, not that their was anything inherently wrong with our home in Whiterun. As soon as I returned, I got to work. I would make as much armor as I could, and travel through out Skyrim selling my armor to whoever would buy it. I spent hours, even days, at the forge, and it started to take it's toll.
Things started to get strenuous at home
I started becoming desperate for gold. Whatever I would make off my armor, I lost in buying supplies. I had to find more work. I heard of a boy in Windhelm, attempting some sort of ritual. I figured if I got him back to the orphanage I would be offered a modest sum. Instead the boy offered me a contract. Kill the wench who ran the orphanage, and be rewarded. Now I had no intention of killing the woman, until I met her. Grelod the Kind was a vile woman who seemed to take pleasure in abusing the children, but she still didn't deserve what I did to her. Even the children cheering over her body did not help me sleep at night. As I tossed and turned in my uncomfortable straw mattress at the Local Inn, I was kidnapped. I awoke in a shed, and a woman clad in black told me that I owed the Dark Brotherhood for taking their contract. In return for killing one of three people in the room, she offered lucrative work which promised precious rewards. I could only think of one thing. Gold. I accepted.
How could I refuse?
I was shockingly good at being an assassin, and as I got more work I could feel myself slipping. I killed everyone I could for even the most meager of profits. Flower Girls, Cooks, Bandits, Grave Robbers, Bards, no one was safe. What started off as a way to get my wife a new house became my life. I spent days at the Sanctuary, practically forgetting my wife altogether. I had started off the year as a man of simple means, but by the end of the month I was responsible for the death of the Emperor.
I am ashamed to admit that this was the highlight of my life
I had not known that madness plagued me by the time I was able to afford fully furnishing my wife's new home, but she did. My behaviour became erratic. I was prone to violent mood swings, and self-destructive activities, like eating poisonous herbs. My wife thought perhaps working at the forge again would help, so she sent me back to Whiterun to work for awhile.
Even forging didn't feel the same as it used to
I never did see my wife again. Well I never saw her
again. I returned to Solitude to find her on our dining table with her throat slit. Had I done this, and just blacked it out? Did someone perhaps hold a grudge against me? How could this have happened? To this day I don't how she died, but I did know I was alone. Alone and Free, and what better way to celebrate freedom than with unabashed wholesale slaughter. Thank you wife, If not for you and your constant need for appeasement I would have never embraced my gift. As my good friend Cicero the Jester says " Just... Stab, stab, stab,stab! And then... Stab, stab, stab,stab!"

The Chewie Reviewie: Hurricane Cocktails and Oblivion
Episode 2 of the Chewie Reviewie has Arrived! This week I bring slightly less drunk, delicious drinks, and slightly old games. It's also better this time
Hurricane Cocktails:
Holy Fack these are delicious! Drink for a taste of New Orleans pizazz. Plus they are sexy!
The Elder Scrolls IV : Oblivion
It's Racist
Other than that it's pretty great. The people all look like puffy oompa loompas. I enjoyed the combat quite a bit, even though I didn't do much of it in the video. You should play it. Even though you probably already have.
<3 Chewie
P.S. Picking locks sucks.

PAX East 2010: Popping my PAX Cherry
It was amazing. Absolutely amazing. I joined Destructoid about six months ago after lurking for about a year, and hearing stories about the community from my good friend
. During my time I have enjoyed meeting several Dtoider late night Skype calls, and founded Dtoid Fredericton with
( There are two of us). I went to PAX East expecting a good time, and had the time of my life.
I arrived Thursday night in Boston after a seven hour drive with ScottyG and Volkarin. After going to our respective hotels we met up at Uno's Pizzeria. Before I continue I would just like to mention that my hotel was amazing. There were bathrobes, a rubber ducky, and decent sized closet. A Closet I so happened to sleep in for the weekend. Back to the story. I got to say, Uno's probably has one of the best group of servers I've seen in a while. Phenomenal waitresses that let us take up whole sections of the restaurant. Not to mention they kept track of everyone's bill pretty well. Any place that has a waitress that is willing to help me find a Taco Bell is absolutely amazing in my eyes.
So Freaking Cool!
Any who, So we had a fantastic first night with much singing, though I was bit shy and didn't introduce my self to very many people. That changed Friday night though. The first real day of PAX East blew my mind. Early on I lost my "phone" ( I was using Volkarin's phone, and he totally left me alone) so i found my self wandering the expo floor, and going to interesting panels. I had so much fun wandering about that I forgot to get in line early for the Protomen concert which I had been nerdgasming about since I found about it. Fortunately I'm the luckiest man alive, and I ended at the very front of the stage. I was so pumped by the end of the concert That I had no problem socializing that night.
The rest of PAX went as I had thought. Lots of joy and merriment. Some of the highlights that I haven't already mentioned include:
- Analoge being traumatized by the food court
- An extra long hand shake with Kauza. ( I just didn't want to let him go)
- Nik Monroe. All memories of Nik are fond memories.
- Singing Queen and Journey out side of Uno's
awesome chiptune concert
- Playing Miegakure, Limbo, Monday Night Combat, and Splinter Cell Conviction
- Analoge impressions
- Nerdgasming with JohnnyViral at the Rooster Teeth panel
- 321GOcast vs Let'sCybercast westside-story-style dance fight
- Pictochatting in Jillians
- Being forced to Record the "best": Let'sCybercast Sunday Night ( Y'all should look forward to that)
- All the goodbye hugs
My love for you all has evolved into something far to powerful for me to contain. Thank you all so much for making my
first time
so enjoyable. For cereal, y'all are so pringles it's ridonkulous. Silly words aside, I already miss you all!
Much love,
Mr. Chewie

Whoa look at me! I have Dibs on Coach.
I recently read
Reverend Anthony's dibs on Nick
, and decided that I to should place my arbitrary sense of ownership on a character I feel I can connect with.
I call dibs on Coach
Here's why:
He loves Chocolate
I love chocolate too! As a child I was never allowed to eat chocolate because my father was a dentist and believed chocolate was the devil. The next day I ran away, and traveled the world looking for the best chocolate. I eventually grew up and made a wonderful factory. I made the best candy in the world, until that bastard Slugworth started sending spies to steal my recipes. I had to fire all my employees, and enslave indigenous people of the amazon to do all the work. Fucking Slugworth.
Anyways, Like Coach I have a fondness for that silky smooth bar of fermented cocoa seed.
We both use to live in nice neighborhoods
God damn gang bangers. I used to be able to where a mini skirt and halter top without fear of getting raped, but as soon as some thugs appear I have to wrap my self in them ugly ass sweats again. I'll never get me a good brotha wearing that slop, and I know I did not spend $500 on my hair so it can be counteracted with some nasty ass clothing. What's a sister to do.
Also I get more pumped up when Coach shouts his neighborhood line, than any other part in the trailer. Probably has something to do with that booming voice of his.
I can relate
Have you ever tried to run up thirty flight of stairs? It's hard, but good ol' coach pushes on. Of course if there was a helicopter of chocolate waiting for me, I think I could make it too. Not just that though. I used to be fat. Sure I was a kid, and fat kids are nature's way of making joke. I remember one time these kids pinned me down and stared slapping my belly. Then they threw pastries at me, and me eat them. God my childhood was depressing....
And lastly:
He puts Ellis in his place. Oh yeah
No likes Ellis. I forsee him being the butt of many jokes to come.
Literally Fuck Ellis

The Chewie and Nelson Perspective: Demon's Souls, Chewie edition
The Chewie and Nelson Perspective is a project between Mr.Chewie and Volkarin (Nelson). We will be exclusively reviewing games with Co-op play, as well commenting on what it was like to play one with one another. There will be both a Chewie Edition and a Nelson Edition of our reviews under our respective c-blogs
My experience with Demon's souls has been wonderful. I'll begin with the character customization, both aesthetically and functionally. There are a breadth of options to which you can customize your character, and I'm sure if you played around with it enough you could make some fun creations. My only gripe was the lack of beard options. I could make a measly excuse for a goatee that looked more like my character was eating chocolate than a actual facial hair. Luckily, not having a beard didn't affect the game too much. The stat customization is pretty standard at first. You choose an origin class, each of which have certain perks. I personally chose the Royalty class for two reasons; It was the only class that started at level one, and I like the way the circlet looked on my character.
I had a difficult time at first getting used to the "hard-core" nature of the game, but I was soon able to fight my way through hordes of enemies easily. As i gathered more souls I decided it'd be a good time to raise some stats and upgrade the weaponry. As soon as I saw the luck stat I decided thats where my loyalty would lie. So that's how my Luck/Magic based character came into existence.
Once you figure out what to do this guy is surprisingly easy
I personally found this game ridiculously fun. Every boss fight was memorable, every new encounter challenging, and though the story is rarely mentioned, it too was enjoyable. Each level does a good job of presenting challenges that require different strategies from the last, my favorite being the prison area of 3-1. The games is usually eerily silent most of the time, which I actually enjoyed. The silence adds a sort of tension that preludes danger. Kind of like the calm before the storm. The music that did play, exclusively during most boss fights, was both appropriate and fun to listen to.
The Co- Op is a little different, and takes some time to get used to. For not having voice chat it does work surprisingly well. The PvP on the other hand I found really enjoyable. There is nothing more satisfying to me than killing some one right after they have killed a boss. Plus it's super fun! You know what say, humans ARE best prey.
All in all this a great game that takes me back to a time, when beating a game meant something. I recommend this game to everyone, regardless of whether or not you enjoy rape in the form of repeated digital deaths.
Now for my favorite part :
You guys should all know, Nelson is a phenomenal person to play with. He would consistently took hits for me, while I stayed far behind and enjoyed the amazing scenery. We had countless adventures. I think I'll share one with you.
The setting is the Prison of Hope ( A.K.A. World 3-1)
Nelson and I had just escaped braved the terror that haunted deep inside the hellish antechamber ironically named "Hope". Despair surrounded us as we bolted towards the doors of a nearby church. I looked at him as we ran. I looked at the man who practically held my life in his hands. I looked at the man I called friend. If it wasn't for his
capable hands I would have undoubtedly been penetrated by the long slimy tendrils of the octopus headed guards that patrolled the halls. Suddenly, an arrow flew past me, but from where. There was no one in sight. We continued to sprint. Slowly a dark figure formed out the shadows, and charged us. We fought, and eventually it fell. Nelson waved his arms in victory. Once the celebration was over we proceeded to enter the church, and that's when she a appeared. A beautiful goddess clad in black descended from the ceiling, giggling softly. Nelson prepared for battle.
" No!", I yelled through the online telephone service Skype, " She can't be evil"
" What the f@#K are you talking about", gargled Nelson, " She's the boss"
The poor fool had been taken by the demons. This was obviously the princess that Captain Falcon had sent us to save. Nelson was lost, and I know what I had to do. I prepared to attack, but unsurprisingly they had no effect on him.
" Stop dicking around, and help asshole", he roared. He was gone. The Demons had consumed him. He struck the princess. He struck her repeatedly. He struck her so hard that it could almost be considered sexual.I tried to stop him. I tried to protect the princess. Fortunately when the got hurt enough she made multiple copies of herself. That kinda clued me in that she wasn't a princess, but was actually Fool's Idol . We both ran to the side, and prepared a strategy.
We had to draw out the original, but who ever drew the fire would surely die. I volunteered, but Nelson stopped me. He grabbed my arm, looked me in the eyes, and mumbled, " No Chewie! You have your whole life ahead of you! There's no reason for you to die". We embraced for the first and last time. As we let each other go he whispers in my ear
Live life for the both of us
. In a flash he was out in the open, rays of energy hitting him from all directions, and that when she revealed herself. On the far end of the room The Fool's Idol sent out a lightning ball far to large for any clone to create. A single tear feel from my cheek as Nelson's charred corpse hit the floor.
I leaped into action, running from pillar to pillar. I was within running distance. I was going to make it. Then I stepped on some sort of glyph that stunned me, and I died.....

Search For a Deeper Meaning: The Crestfallen Warrior
Demon's Souls has been out for a good week or so, and I have thoroughly enjoyed playing it. Apart from the challenging game play, memorable boss fights, and essential ( but fun) grinding one things stuck out for me. The Crestfallen Warrior. The following will contain "minor" spoilers regarding said character, so if you care about this character as much as I do stop reading now.
Most of those who have played this game probably remember the Crestfallen Warrior as the first person they meet in the Nexus, and would characterize him as a patronizing, depressed, failure who's only purpose is to discourage you. However, I say that all those that think this should be ashamed. They belittle this poor man's efforts, and everything he represents. To me he is probably the most important influential NPC you'll meet in this game.
As I mentioned before there is a lot more to this man than what his words reveal, He is essentially " What Could Have Been". The Crestfallen Warrior was a man just like any one of us, but suddenly the responsibility of being a hero was thrust upon him. He probably fought, and he probably fought well, but something happened to him that made him just want to give up. Something horrific that completely shattered his will. This could be his "death", and the loss of his body. Whether or not he truly lost his body, or just forgot where it was is irrelevant. Imagine the trauma. Being forced to continue this mission that he probably didn't even want to do even after his body is lost. Being forced to fight for cause, as noble as it may be, even after you die. Bound to this fate like a slave, forever tolling away, hoping someday you can taste freedom, but he knew he would never taste freedom. Such a realization would break most will, and it did just that. He gave up, fell from grace, and became a shell of the man he once was. Then to add insult to injury, he is quickly replaced by the character. Of course this poor character is going to be rude an morose.
He also serves to motivate us. Motivate us to never give up and let doubt or anguish consume us. He shows us how important a little thing like hope can be.
He may be weary, but he won't take getting attacked lightly. He can take quite a few hits.
This downtrodden warrior of light served as a mentor, and an ally. Through out my journey I found comfort in speaking with the man I had replaced. Never did he show jealousy ( perhaps he was too caught up in his own emotional torment), and I always found myself eager to return to the Nexus to hear his next comment. Then it began. First he began to go on and on about his body, and how it was probably long gone. Then he began forget. Everything. I desperately searched for his body, but eventually I returned to find nothing but the soul of a storied soldier. He had killed himself to spare himself, and us, from the demon which would undoubtedly consume him. I grasped his soul and brought into the air, releasing him from his torment. Though I never knew his name, I called him friend.

Beard de Pauvrete NVGR
A nice little song that inspires me
For those of you who don't know french, today's title translates to Beard of Poverty. You may be asking yourself, " Why such a melancholy title?". I find myself asking this too. It turns out there was more to the saga that is my beard. What was supposed to be story of victory has thus far ended in defeat. I haven't given up, though, I haven't given. Still I fight so that one day my whiskered brethren, and I can have equality. Still I fight for acceptance. Prepare to cry, because it's about to get all kinds of depressing up in here.
First picture I got when I searched hobo. Isn't that beard glorious?
As you know I have come to terms with my new beard repulsing the ladies, and ,now the my beard is growing past the "Hollywood" look, it has done that to a certain extent. However to my surprise I was confronted by a young lady who ran a sort of host club near the campus. For those of you who don't know, a host club is a common form of night time entertainment in the lands of the Far East, an idea just arriving to the shores of North America. Customers ( male or female) will come and ask for a host or hostess, respectively Once seated with their host they will go on a sort of pseudo date. The host or hostess provides charm, attention, and possibly affection. Anyways, the young lady had been working in this club going on for a couple years now, but failed to have any male hosts. Her boss, a bizarre old women, ordered her to find some men that would be interested. Thus, for a reason I'm still not sure of, she approached me with the job offer. The pay was meager, but 30% of any purchase made by the customer would go into my pay check as some sort of glorified tip. Although I was probably a last resort choice, I accepted. The next day I was to report to the club for a quick interview, and a brief run-down of my responsibilities.
Look at all those beautiful men... Strange how none have a beard, eh?
I was ecstatic. Someone had thought that I as worthy of a job dependent on looks even though I was sporting a soon-to-be glorious man-beard. That evening I put on my best shirt, and favorite pair of shiny shoes. I was looking like a star, with a beard mind you. I left for the club, with a hop in my step and a twinkle in my eye. As I swung open the doors I entered a place of wonderment. There were roughly 5-6 girls treating men who either weren't the best looking people, or suffered from severe social disorders to drinks, and making them feel loved. " This is perfect for me", I thought, " I get to make people happy". Anyways, I was called to the office for my interview. I was somewhat nervous at this point, but to my joy everything went smoothly. The owner found my up-beat attitude and love for most things refreshing. The job was mine. At least it should have been. As I was shown out the door I heard her make a quick comment to me. A comment that completely killed the buzz. I could still hear it ringing in my head.
Make sure you shave before you come to work tomorrow
That makes me feel better
Turns out I was beautiful, but my beard wasn't. Once again I was upstaged by this mysterious thing called beauty. I began to think about this idea of beauty, and wonder if it plagued all the bearded men in history. So I did some research, which took me to the classical period in Greece, where art began to pursue this idea of beauty. The paintings and sculptures created during antiquity were exemplified by the search of this " Ideal", which was most commonly portrayed through the kouros, to my dismay. The kouros are any and all statues of young men. These were meant to be the best of men, both physically and characteristically. One thing the all had in common; no beards. Of all the pictures I saw, not single on of the "ideal young men" had any sign of facial hair. I tried to rationalize, saying that maybe these men were too young to grow facial hair. That wasn't he case. These statues depicted men from the ages of 16-20, and unless you have an extra X chromosome, you're gonna be growing some fuzz.
I'm as sad as that kid
Turns out that I was wrong before. Beards were never beautiful. They never were considered "pretty". Within this cesspool of depression I did find a glimmer of hope, and that glimmer is what kept me from putting a blade to my chin and giving up. These same Greek artists who portrayed these "ideal" men as beardless, also portrayed their
Gods with nice long beards
Gods the respected
Gods they loved
! Gods they worshiped! Once again I came to terms with the fact that I wouldn't thought of as beautiful, but now I can look forward to the dignity and aura of respect that comes with my beard. To everyone growing a beard, don't give up! We may not be gorgeous, but God dammit we are MEN! ... Also we can look like some sort of Godly high level wizard now! Thuper Exciting!!!!

Beard De Resistance NVGR
Those are my cats. They have no relevance to this, but they sure do catch the eye. NVGR
I'll start this off by asking you all a question. Do you remember a time when a man was allowed to be a man? Back in the good ol' days before most of us were born, a beard represented something. It showed that you were a man, it showed you were to be repsected, and , if flamboyant enough, it showed that you were powerful. Nowadays the glorious chin whiskers that meant so much are now frowned upon by most and repulse even more. With that, you may be asking why I mention the past glory of the man-beard. Well, sit down as I regale you with my tale.
At the beginning of this past summer I learned that I would be leaving the city of Houston for college in Canada. I've lived in Houston for 17 years, so this was bound to be a huge change. In order to commemorate this change, and as a physical manifestation of my passage into man hood, I decided that I would grow a beard. My mother, who is a avid supporter of my " pretty boy" look, was naturally against my new life style. " No, it will look horrible", she'd say, " You'll look like a beautiful homeless man". She tried and tried, but I persevered. I wasn't go to live in her world for fear. Shortly after that conversation I left home, and begun my trip up to Canada.
Fun Trip....
After my exceptionally uneventful trip, my young beardling was taking somewhat of a form. Granted it was nowhere near long enough, but I definitely had that " Movie Star" cropped beard look going on for me. So here I was, in Canada, looking like pretentious Hollywood wannabe, and in a brand new environment. My beardling made me distinguished, and was surprisingly turning a few heads. I was never good with the ladies, but the jolly feel of Canada and the freedom that came with facial hair gave me a sort of boost to charisma. I was making friends left and right, even getting a date with a decently attractive girl. The relationship ended rather quickly though. On our first "date", if you could call it that, I brought up the fact that I was growing a full beard. She didn't take to kindly to it. She said that I looked much better with it shorter. I ended it.
What an a-hole......
So at this I had lost the support of my mother and , as expected, was doomed to live a life sans female. However, my will was strong. Soon I discovered a new friend in my Biology Lab Partner. We'll call him Thomas for reference sake. Anyways Thomas is a first year student who is originally from Ohio. Thus we had the grace of being raised in America in common. What made Thomas special was that he sported a rather fetching beard, and was still growing it. Furthermore, he revealed that he had a special lady friend back in Ohio who actually requested he grow the beard. Just then, when my hopes of a bearded society were dim, I felt the warm light of hope overtook me. He was truly a free man. His family couldn't care less about his beard ( My mom is probably just insane), AND he had a significant relationship with a girl. No, not a girl. A woman! My epiphany led me to only one conclusion. The beard disappeared from our lives because of girls. Girls and their need to have gorgeous well groomed men. So I have a message to all the girls out there with boyfriends, boy toys, or significant guy buddies, and that message is this: Stop being girls, and start being women. I used to fit into your tight pant, almost girl arch type, but no more. I have chosen that . As a women you'll realize that your man having a beard is more than an excuse to not buy razors. It means that he is free! It means that he demands respect! And above all else; It means that he his truly worthy of the title Man. Also, He can look like a really High level Wizard!!!!!!!!!

If you are a foreigner avoid travelling by buses and trains at peak/rush hours.
they are the cheapest mode of transport in the world.
autorickshaws / taxis are also cheap. ask them to produce the tariff card to verify the
they charge.they normally rip off foreigners.
do not drink unpackaged water/ food stuff from street vendors.( you probably do not
have the immunity that we do )
bars / pubs are generally the cooling places for mafia/ underworld/ shady elements ,
so better avoid them.same case with movie theatres.
better take a guided tour organised by your hotels.
emergency services are almost absent . do not expect police/ambulance / fire brigade

Favorite thing: Visit the Elephanta caves which are just off the coast of Bombay. There are boats leaving every half hour from the Gateway of India. Which brings us to the latter. The Gateway of India was built to welcome the King of England when the British ruled India. Details are inscribed in the stone.
Favorite thing: Few visitors to Mumbai are aware that it is the only metropolis in the world with 104 square kilometers of virgin forest within its borders. The Sanjay Gandhi National Park, better known as the Borivli National Park, offers a pleasant change from the usual sights and attractions of the big city.
Favorite thing: On a Sunday morning we decided to go to this small hill station Jawhar, which is around four and half hours away from Bombay by road.This is a small town with friendly people and the best place to buy the vibrant and earthy Warli Paintings painted by the tribals of the region.
Favorite thing:
visit elephant's island;and also in south colaba,the church with the anglo-afghan war memorial:beautiful atmosphere,it is funny to see an english church among tropical trees
Fondest memory: I was drinking my 17th fruit juice of the day,sitting in the garden of this church in south colaba,there was a little wind in the trees ,then,the wind became lighter,then even lighter,and suddenly,time stopped;It can only happens in india
Favorite thing:
When in Mahabaleshwar, u should go to table land.
A flat topped hill as big as 10 foot ball grounds or bigger i guess!

PopChar X 6.6 supports Unicode 7.0 and shows characters in Unicode context
News Source : PopChar X 6.6 supports Unicode 7.0 and shows characters in Unicode context
Perg, Austria: August 19, 2014 - Ergonis Software today released PopChar X 6.6, a new version of the company's award-winning tool for efficiently exploring fonts as well as finding and inserting special characters.
PopChar X 6.6 supports the brand-new version 7.0 of the Unicode standard. Unicode 7.0 integrates 2834 new characters, and PopChar 6.6 can now identify these new characters by their names. Among these characters are the new currency symbols for the Russian ruble, many other symbols, as well as approximately 250 emoji symbols, most of them deriving from characters in widespread use in Wingdings and Webdings fonts. An improved "Scripts and Symbols" layout also better matches the definitions in the Unicode standard. The new Unicode standard has been defined only recently, and fonts that support it have yet to be developed, but PopChar 6.6 is already prepared for releases of fonts that contain the new characters.
PopChar has been available even before the Unicode consortium was founded, and has been supporting the Unicode standard since 2002. In fact, PopChar has become indispensable for everyone dealing with special characters and different fonts, since Unicode fonts have evolved to contain tens of thousands instead of hundreds of characters per font.
PopChar X 6.6 also introduces a new feature "Show in Unicode context" that lets you easily search for a character and then view this character in its Unicode context. This is very helpful to find similar other characters in the neighborhood within the Unicode table. In addition, PopChar X 6.6 offers many other improvements, like faster display of the character table, internal streamlining gaining further efficiency improvements, preparation for Apple's next-generation operating system Yosemite, and more.
Visit Ergonis Software's website to view the list of improvements and enhancements contained in this release and to download a trial copy.
PopChar solves a problem faced by every technologist and multi-lingual worker. Inserting special characters into application documents can be frustrating and results in a steady loss of productivity. With PopChar, thousands of special characters are only a few clicks away. Just pop up the PopChar window, click the desired character, and the character appears in your current document right away. Starting with PopChar 6, you can even take a new look at fonts from a designer's perspective – see a font preview, check out what a given text fragment looks like in a certain font, and print beautiful font sheets.
Availability and Ordering
PopChar X 6.6 requires Mac OS X 10.5.8 or newer, is fully compatible with OS X Mavericks (10.9), and prepared for OS X Yosemite (10.10).
PopChar X can be purchased securely on the Ergonis Software website. The upgrade to PopChar 6.6 is free for anyone who owns a valid license for PopChar X 6. Upgrade paths are available for owners of older licenses. See the company's web site for information about purchases, including enterprise licenses, volume discounts, and upgrade pricing offers.
Instead of purchasing PopChar separately, customers can save money by ordering the Ergonis Productivity Bundle, which also includes the text expander Typinator and the keyboard shortcut helper KeyCue.
About Ergonis Software
Ergonis Software develops ergonomic and intuitive software that boosts the productivity of Mac and PC users. Ergonis Software, a privately held company founded in 2002, is headquartered in Perg, Austria.

After the game yesterday, you would have thought the two managers had been at different games, if you listened to some of the comments from Alan Pardew and Martin Jol, but we suppose they are a little biased in favor of their own sides. Aren't we all?
Alan Pardew and Martin Jol before yesterday's game
Alan Pardew said he thought Newcastle were the fitter side, as we came on very strong in those last thirty minutes or so:
"That's three clean sheets in our last three games, and we've looked fitter than the opposition." "We had more offensive players available and that's what these fans here want to see."
"It was an inspired performance by their keeper or it could have been a bigger scoreline – no disrespect to Fulham." "We've got a lot of good things going on a lot's been written and a lot of it's not correct but it's results you need to back us up."
"It's been a good week, and if we can get through Monday by improving the team again – however that happens – we'll be in good shape."
Fulham boss Martin Jol left Newcastle for the second season running losing out to a late goal from Newcastle, and the Dutchman had this to say to the press:
"We could have done a lot of damage today and got the points on the board." "If you look at the possession, we could get out of their pressure. It was almost too easy.
"Last year it was the same, they scored one goal and they are over the moon as if they played great. But they didn't. We should have had at least a point."
Those are surly comments form the Fulham manager, and what makes us think he is a sore loser – and the Newcastle fans were over the moon mainly because we won – we didn't play well in that first half, but we were great in the final 30 minutes – when it counted.
And we suppose when you have lost two successive games at St. James' Park you are not going be doing cartwheels – but Martin probably needs to lighten up a bit – although it's never good to lose in a results oriented business like football.
Wonder what Joe Kinnear's doing today?

Your editorial "Banana Republic v. Chevron" (Dec. 27) is a striking illustration of bias in assessing this important case. The article ignores how, for two decades, Chevron has dodged accountability for despoiling a huge swath of Amazon rainforest and devastating the lives of thousands of Ecuadorians and five indigenous tribes.
Chevron does not dispute that it dumped 16 billion gallons of "produced water" (containing petroleum, heavy metals and other contaminants) into the very streams used by local residents for drinking and bathing. It does not dispute that it opened and abandoned hundreds of sludge-filled waste ponds that still scar the Amazon region to this day.
Chevron cannot legitimately contest the rigor of the eight-year proceeding in Ecuador, in which the court received more than 100 expert reports from both sides and considered hundreds of hours of witness testimony and legal argument. The court's detailed 188-page decision fully rebuts the absurd notion, repeated in your editorial, that the contamination has been "taken care of" or is under control. The court's final calculation of damages is modest in light of comparable damages figures in cases like the BP Deepwater Horizon incident (which, unlike Chevron's deliberate contamination in Ecuador, was an accident).
Ultimately, your editorial bemoans the fact that Chevron is "distract[ed]" by the litigation from "doing its job." No doubt. As perhaps any other management team in corporate America would instantly realize, the way out of such distraction is for the company to come to terms with its unfortunate history, make amends and move forward on a positive note. A decade ago, Chevron made a public promise to U.S. courts that it would abide by the judgment of Ecuador if the case would be tried in that country. Courts around the world are now seeing that this promise is kept.

Aromatics Elixir by Clinique
Almost half a year after purchasing my 25 ml bottle of Aromatics Elixir, I still haven't quite made up my mind about it. I know it's brilliant - striking, dense, complex, wholly unique, masterfully crafted, and possessing almost nuclear persistance on skin. But to call it temperamental would be an understatement. At least half the time when I spray it on, I feel like I'm inhaling the air in a foggy forest on a damp spring day, in the best possible sense - flowers, moss, wood, smoke, and patchouli, masterfully blended and supremely evocative. The other half, I feel like I'm being suffocated by a pile of mildewy rags in a stuffy attic. Did I mention the patchouli? Aromatics Elixir is the Ur-patchouli. This is the patchouli that sends all the other patchoulis scurrying away from the patchouli playground. Montale's Patchouli Leaves, Serge's Borneo, and Givenchy's Gentleman have got absolute zilch on Aromatics Elixir for pure, unencumbered, full-throttle patchouli - the musty, acrid, leather-trunk/hippie-armpit kind that will choke you as soon as look at you. Chamomile, lavender, cedar, leather, incense, jasmine, and rose play equally strident chords in the composition; this is one wallop of a perfume. Intensely out of fashion, beautiful at the right angle, downright lovely and ladylike at 20 paces but acrid and borderline bilious up close. It's fascinating, but I do wish it were a little more approachable. (Bafflingly, it garners more compliments than almost anything else in my collection. See what I mean about the 20 paces?)

OK, I don't have Windows 7 for myself but I was on the phone last night with an older couple (good friends) who do have Windows 7 and seem to have a really bad messed up computer. They said this started about 3 weeks ago ... suddenly very slow startup, web pages loading slow ... just getting on the internet was a chore. I was with them on the phone last night for almost 3 hours trying to get something worked out. I guess it sounds like they maybe picked up a virus or maybe a bad MS update since they have "auto updates" on ... I don't know ... they know about e-mails and attachments and not to open any from people you don't know. I tried to have them get into System Restore over the phone but that was a chore with the computer running so slow ... I had them go back to an earlier date in August but SR never finished.
So I gave up and am going tomorrow to try to fix everything ... now understand, I am not familiar with Windows 7 much at all, I run XP. I just downloaded the Kaspersky Rescue Disk (09-15-2013), I will try to find any viruses with it and hope that might work. If it doesn't then I may have to redo the computer to like it just came out of the box. I asked them to have everything that came with the computer handy, in case that might be the way to go. I am assuming that a "fresh" copy of Windows 7 is sitting in a hidden part of the hard drive for this purpose ... they don't remember any restore CD / DVD in the box ... it's a Toshiba notebook and there is a manual.
My real question ... I want to put a good working free antivirus program on the Windows 7 setup so they have something to help in the future. I have checked this review ...
13 Best Free Antivirus Programs
The top three are these:
1. avast! Free Antivirus 8
2. AVG Anti-Virus Free 2013
3. Avira Free AntiVirus 2013
... but when you read the reviews when people have tried them, they really don't like them, they say the programs slow the machine down and this or that. Really not many "Thumbs Up" on them. I don't run any antivirus on my XP setup but I think they probably should have one installed.
I could tell them about Stinger which they have to download ... they are older and mosly visit web pages and do e-mail ... they don't do much or no downloading and would probably not understand all that but I can try to get them to make some notes. I told them about CCleaner in 2011 but I had to go to their house and download it to get it installed. No problem with that, was due for a visit anyway.
I'm open to ideas, suggestions and what antivirus would really be good with Windows 7. I think MS has a virus/malware program download for XP so I'm guessing this would also be availabe for Windows 7, would that be the way to go ... I'm trying to do the KISS method for them ... "Keep It Simple Stupid" .
have to add ... I have no clue if their Windows 7 is 32-bit or 64-bit.
thanks ...

October 2015: Smooth rides
Two years ago in this space, I made an embarrassing confession: that even though I live barely 200 yards from a MARTA station, and my office is a hundred steps from another one, I was still driving to work every day.Read more
Video: A drone's eye view of MARTA's Armour Yard
Nightly maintenance helps the fleet of 318 cars stay on track
Every night, MARTA's 318 railcars, each weighing 81,000 pounds, pull in to this gleaming maintenance facility for the mass transit equivalent of a tune-up and a detail. Here, in a facility just west of the Connector near Armour Circle, they're cleaned and inspected by a crew of 130.Read more
February 2015: A streetcar leaves us wanting
The first time I took the Atlanta Streetcar, on its third day of operation, I waited alone at the Peachtree Center stop across from the Ellis Hotel. It was raining, but the shelter kept me dry. The stop is about two blocks from our downtown office, and I wanted to check out for myself the project that took almost three years and $98 million to build.Read more
No, you can't ride the Atlanta Streetcar. But you can look at these sneak peek photos.
The long-delayed project will begin on-road testing this month.
The Atlanta Streetcar is delayed—again. While it looked like the $100 million project might be up and rolling in late summer, the new target date is November. After ballooning budget issues and multiple delays setting the schedule back over a year, the on-road testing on the cars is scheduled to start within the next few […]Read more
Um, about that streetcar…?
Yes, the Atlanta Streetcar is still a go. It's just way behind schedule.
A century ago, streetcars were Atlanta's proverbial lifeblood, connecting Downtown to "suburbs" like Inman Park, Druid Hills, and the West End. Even as cars became common in the 1920s and 1930s, Atlantans continued commuting by trolley, streetcar, and intercity train.Read more
The Crossing
Herbert Sinkfield and DeKai Amonrasi were born thirty-four years and a thousand miles apart. But when an accident brought them together on the railroad tracks in College Park, one of the men made a fateful decision.
The train that killed DeKai Amonrasi no longer exists. CSX Q612 out of New Orleans met its end at Tilford Rail Yard near Marietta Boulevard, a few miles west of Berkeley Heights on Atlanta's west side.Read more
Where It All Went Wrong
If only we could undo the MARTA Compromise of 1971
Like ghosts rising out of a Confederate cemetery, Atlanta's past lapses in judgment haunt the region today, leaving a smoky trail of suburban decay, declining home values, clogged highways, and a vastly diminished reputation.Read more
The Room that Makes the Trains Run
A look inside MARTA's operations room
The nerve center of Atlanta's electric rail system hides in an unmarked concrete building east of the city limits in DeKalb County, behind a fence topped with three strands of barbed wire.Read more
