No Achievements, Extras for Xbox Game Downloads
Microsoft confirms new 360 DLC as direct ports.
When Microsoft announced their new plan to bring 'Xbox Originals' to the Xbox 360 as downloadable content yesterday, speculation flared up immediately about what new features might be added to the games. Unfortunately, as stated in a story earlier today and confirmed by Microsoft to 1UP, these Xbox games will be emulation-supported direct ports of the Xbox games.
We contacted Microsoft to ask if the games would include any of the common Xbox 360 extras -- achievements, online multiplayer, 360 dashboard access, etc. Their response:
"No. These are the original games that were created before Xbox 360. In order to preserve the integrity of the original gaming experience they provide, they will have the features available at the time of their initial release."
In other words, don't expect to be experiencing original Halo multiplayer online or get some well-earned achievement points for your Fable adventuring. Curiously, this exact same response was also posted on Major Nelson's blog this afternoon. The company apparently has a very strict line that they're towing.
The Xbox downloads will cost $15 each when they are made available later this year. Many impassioned forum members have cricticized the price point due to the cheapness and availability of these games at various online and brick-and-mortar retailers. That sentiment probably will not be helped by the revelation that the games will have no extra features.

Hum, Do i PAY $15 dollars to Download games with ISSUES due to the emulation OOOOOOoor Do i pay $2.99 FOR THE ACTUAL GAME(crimson skies or Mech Assault) from my local Gamestop "BARGAIN" Bin? yeah pretty Difficult decision eh? LOL!
$15?Posted: Nov 17, 2007 12:00AM PST by TreyTable
Who will pay $15 for these titles? I know there are people who will, just so they can have it; gotta collect 'em all. But c'mon, Crimson Skies and MechAssault were both XBOX Live pack-in games, so both are on the cheap.. come to think of it, MechAssault is a Best Of Platinum Hits, which was sold for $9.99 retail. But Burnout 3? Who doesn't have Burnout 3? But it will be nice to play it online again.. wait, who's doing the server work on that, MS or EA?

The Reason Why Is SimplePosted: Nov 15, 2007 12:00AM PST by venom77
With downloads, there's no inventory and convenience. You don't have to call your local gamestop and ask if they have a copy (and in the large cities walk 8-10 blocks to get there). You just click to download and you're done. I don't think many people understand how much downloads help versus going to a store if you live in large cities like LA, NY, or Chicago.
OK whats the difference than from my original to this download crap???Posted: Nov 15, 2007 12:00AM PST by Final_Spart4n
If there is no achievements and/or upgrade to the original why would I buy this download version when I have a perfect original copy of the game on disc???? Doesn't make too much sense when I can go to EB and get the games for 5-10 dollars....
microsoft put mgs2 on thisPosted: Nov 15, 2007 12:00AM PST by AlchemistX

2.3 gigs on my 20 gig hard drive hmmm and your charging me??Posted: Nov 15, 2007 12:00AM PST by agentboolen
Price is the biggest problem with downloadable content like original xbox games. To me there is no game that I want to pay $15 for and clog of 1-2.3 gigs of memory on my small 20 gig hard drive. If they would have given me more room maybe I would be interested in buying more games online from them but the way there original hard drive is it just feels like im renting these games. Its a joke, I have no interest, i would rather ebay the disc for these games. I also think they need to find a way to bring the price down on the 120 and even the 20 gig hard drives, there current prices are just laughable.
the price...Posted: Nov 15, 2007 12:00AM PST by Trup1aya4rea1
is definitely steep. I don't argue against that. I just can't believe people actually expect the developers to spend time and money redeveloping 5 year old games, with HD textures and achievement points. It's just not logical. Yeah it would be nice, but we really can't complain.
Whatever thenPosted: Nov 15, 2007 12:00AM PST by XtremeGmr4life
I'm not paying 15 bucks for these when I can drive myself to gamestop and get all the games I want for less. I just bought Psychonauts and Jade Empire again a few weeks ago. Guess how much they cost 10 bucks a piece plus my discount so around 17 or 18 bucks. If I got them from MS that would be around 30 bucks no thanks.
Who cares?!Posted: Nov 15, 2007 12:00AM PST by ExplicitBrain
Why would someone pay 15 bucks for an old game they can pick up at the store for less, or that they already have. I bought Fable: The Lost Chapters about two months ago for 10 bucks at Best Buy. And it has the box and extra content from that "expansion", which may not be in the "Xbox Originals" version.
what???Posted: Nov 15, 2007 12:00AM PST by jympagel
you've GOT to be kidding me.... you can buy these old games for 4 or 5 bucks used at EB games and they're gonna charge 15 to download straight onto your hard drive? what's the point? you're going to spend 15 bucks on a game you can get for cheaper AND have a backup of it in case you want to store other stuff on your hard drive AND you get no achievements for the game... WHAT'S THE INCENTIVE???????? you get achievements for the 1989 xbox live arcade ninja turtles game for cryin out loud. way to go microsoft. your idiocy never ceases to amaze me. and by the way, vista sucks
Lmao!Posted: Nov 14, 2007 12:00AM PST by AussieXboxFreak
The amount of idiots on all gaming forums throughout the interwebs and their complete lack of understanding on just about everything never ceases to amaze me. Good, work people, you really showcase what our race is capable of. Good work MS, cant wait to get a couple of games that ive always wanted to play and cheaper than you'd find most of em in stores as well. You continue to lead with what consumer want, even if most of them are dumb apes.
re: chfujiPosted: Nov 14, 2007 12:00AM PST by KefkaTaran
Thanks for letting me know about that. I'd sort of wondered, but had never heard that explanation before. I'll try to remember it for the future -- or just try to stop using that cliched line altogether. ;)
forget acheivementsPosted: Nov 14, 2007 12:00AM PST by Trup1aya4rea1
You do understand that adding achievements to all these would be IMPOSSIBLE. First of all, third parties would have to put more work into games that ended development over 5 years ago. They WON'T DO IT. they'd much rather spend the money on a less risky investment, like a current gen game...I can't believe you would expect all this publishers and developers to drop what they are doing and add achievement points
Brillant from a business stand pointPosted: Nov 14, 2007 12:00AM PST by Trup1aya4rea1
They get to cash in on all the money they lose on the resale market. They get to cash in on the "impulse buys" we make when looking for bargains. You can't really complain, because they don't have to give us anything. If you don't want it, don't buy it, no problem. Why are people acting like the update is taking a feature away from us or something?
I don;t carePosted: Nov 14, 2007 12:00AM PST by eminus_jewett
Because I never got around to buying Psychonauts and now I can just download it. As for Halo, I already have it, but having it installed on my 360's HDD is a pretty cool idea, in case if I want to play but not go digging around for the disc. I just hope I can still play system link with my friends and not need an extra disc. THAT is why I'm excited. Oh the possibilities with LAN...
Will they at least work correctly?Posted: Nov 14, 2007 12:00AM PST by doubledmateo
Halo 2 had major issues when played on the 360 (mainly that annoying glitch where back ground artifacts would get stuck so you have this weird semi transparent shape that obscures your view.) and Psychonauts had all kinds of strange glitches. Is this stuff going to play the same way that the discs did?
This is not good news...Posted: Nov 14, 2007 12:00AM PST by nivek4
Dear M$, You were probably going to make me buy at least three original Xbox games that I already own hard copies of. Now, with no achievements or online play, I will not be touching any of your "Xbox originals." Thank you and have a good day. Sincerely, Your lost customer
booPosted: Nov 14, 2007 12:00AM PST by BorisSpassky
damn you microsoft. how dare you allow me to save gas money and the ability to avoid those douchebags at gamestop that everyone on this forum always complains about. please give me achievements for games instead of spending time developing new games and updating your marketplace. in fact, i won't even buy wii and ps3 titles because they don't offer achievements yet. i mean, how can i enjoy games that cost 15 bucks if i can find a scratched, beat up old copy with the pages stuck together for 10 dollars less.
Oh noes, my magical e-peen numbers are absent!Posted: Nov 14, 2007 12:00AM PST by MagicSwordKing
My main complaint with these is that they seem to be straight rips from the Xbox 1 game discs with no optimization to improve the (frankly horrendous) backwards compatibility issues. Achievements? Give me a break. This whole fixation on them has frankly cheapened gaming, as far as I can tell. There were brilliant games that have achievements, yes, but if you outright refuse to play something amazing because it doesn't give you those 1000 non-functional points, you're a goddamn tool.
Tired cliches and dumbnessPosted: Nov 14, 2007 12:00AM PST by chfuji
I'm only commenting about the following because I've been seeing it far too often in published media, so, no offense to Phillip Kollar. The old cliche is "toe the company line" not "tow the company line". It is a military reference to when a company of troops would have to line up side by side. As far as the "no achievements" thing, that is very lame. How much effort would it really take to add in achievements? It's a missed opportunity seeing as there isn't really a reason to buy these downloads unless most of them aren't already backwards compatible.
None for me eitherPosted: Nov 14, 2007 12:00AM PST by Deputy_Moonman
You can literally go to the store and buy a brand new copy of HaloCE for 10 bucks. Now tell me why on earth I would waste 5 more bucks for a game that is not going to be xboxlive compatible? What a joke.
Very disappointingPosted: Nov 14, 2007 12:00AM PST by wjmiiirep
I love achievements. They are a way of making you beat or play a game different. i love my 360 and just got a ps3. It feels strange now playing a game 15 hours and not getting any achievements. All my multi-platform games will be 360. I would have played pyschonauts if I got some points for playing it. For those of you that don't care about gamerscores good for you. i like it and I would rather play a good game that has them rather then a very good game that doesn't have them.
stupidPosted: Nov 14, 2007 12:00AM PST by tmacairjordan87
they also just confirmed i wont be buying any, i'll just go pick them up for 5 bucks at gamestop
Halo has already been donePosted: Nov 14, 2007 12:00AM PST by mysteriousgamer
You can already play Halo online with a VPN tunnel or IPX passthrough. I wasn't really going to play that game online anyways when there are far better matches to be had in Halo 3. I would like to see achievements. Come on, if Aegis Wing has achievements, Fable could have some too.
if that's the case..Posted: Nov 14, 2007 12:00AM PST by willarfunk
then I will just continue to play my old titles on my still functioning Xbox system. There is absolutely zero incentive to purchase these titles now through Xbox Live..
Doesn't matterPosted: Nov 14, 2007 12:00AM PST by dunadan72
I've played games for years without achievements and Gamerscores...and I'll continue to play them with or without achievements. If you need achievements to make your enjoyment of a game better, then that game sucked to begin with. No amount of available achievements is going to make me play a game that was crap to begin with. They're great, but I want MS to work on the bugs first.
What could have been...Posted: Nov 14, 2007 12:00AM PST by arbiter_591
thousands of gamers buying old xbox games to get achivements and experience games they never played before(psyconauts). Microsoft please add achiviements to these classics add Halo 1 would sell big if it was online. One more request is making Rare bring out banjo zazooie 1&2 even though they were for the 360.better graphic dont matter but achivements and online play will make MS service even better for frankley very poor live arcade games are coming out
Plain StupidPosted: Nov 14, 2007 12:00AM PST by firebush9ER
Come on Microsoft, open your eyes. People LOVE their gamerscore and Achievements. I'd be willing to bet that hundreds of thousands of more people would download versions of their old Xbox favorites if they could up their gamerscore in doing so.
omg im sryPosted: Nov 14, 2007 12:00AM PST by luisrbrionesbds
Best buy is selling halo 1 for $9.99
Mmmm... are they stupid???Posted: Nov 14, 2007 12:00AM PST by luisrbrionesbds
MS if you deliver HALO CE with achievements, online co-op and multiplayer, evrey one will buy it for 4000 points, and it will sell way more better than halo 3. If you don't... best buy is selling halo 3 for $9.99.
Come on Microsoft...Posted: Nov 14, 2007 12:00AM PST by Mariolles
Achievement Points are like crack to I would believe most 360 gamers. You would think replaying Halo with the bonus of unlocking some interesting achievements would be a no brainer. Would I like to replay (insert your favorite Xbox game here) and get 1000 achievement points? Yes. Hell even 500. Sounds cool. Im not saying I would never play those games again but hey if Im getting more for my 15 bucks and it costs you a few bucks for a some lame ass to come up with them. Then come on!

It is unfortunate that many of these player sign with dreams and aspirations to only find out that playing time on the field is extremely limited. Urban does a very good job of still taking care of his players regardless of their issue; injuries, family problems, personal trouble. Meyer has another similarity to coach Tressel besides beating TTUNs ass: going to bat for his players no matter what the circumstance.
RIP Chico. IF CTE was involved, then this one hits a lot closer to home. I will echo a comment above about rugby style tackling. More and more teams should look into that style, pro, college, high school, especially biddy league. I know my son's 1-2 grade coaches put a strong emphasis on proper tackling form (without the helmet).
May the Lord grant you rest Chico.

PITTSBURGH -- A few hours before Pitt's season opener Sept. 3 against Notre Dame, a famous and forever-fired-up ex-Panther weighed in on whether new coach Dave Wannstedt was the right guy to take the program to the proverbial "next level."
The Panthers had been to five straight bowl games under Walt Harris but hadn't finished in anybody's top 15 since 1982. Despite leading Pitt to the Fiesta Bowl last season, the increasingly unpopular Harris was pushed out the door -- a door that was immediately festooned with a "Welcome Back" sign for Wannstedt, who captained Pitt's Fiesta Bowl team in 1973 and was a grad assistant with Johnny Majors' national championship team in 1976.
"I think it's a wise pick," Mike Ditka said. "Dave is a Pitt guy. Dave has a commitment to this university. The excitement created since Dave came probably hasn't happened in, what, 20 years?"
Neither has a start this awful.
The Panthers, who came into the season ranked 23rd, are 0-3 for the first time since 1984 and just the third time in 33 years. The 42-21 loss to Notre Dame in front of a national television audience was bad enough. Then came a humiliating 16-10 loss at MAC middleweight Ohio and a hard-to-watch, 7-6 defeat at Nebraska this past Saturday.
Which means that in a span of 15 days, Pitt's season went from "Return to Glory" to "Curb Your Enthusiasm."
OK, maybe to "Crush Your Enthusiasm."
But even if the year many had hoped for is ruined, Pitt can still salvage a respectable, Harris-like campaign. The Big East schedule hasn't begun, and the Panthers are looking at a highly favorable slate with a nonconference game Saturday against Division I-AA Youngstown State followed by Big East games at Rutgers and at home against Cincinnati, South Florida and Syracuse.
Not that Wannstedt is making any assumptions. He learned last year in Miami that assuming anything -- even that your star running back will show up for training camp instead of embarking on a quest for self -- is senseless.
He is preparing for Youngstown State as if it were USC.
"We can't look past anybody," he said. "We'd be foolish to think we could."
Asked if a victory Saturday would answer any questions about his team, given that it is facing a Division I-AA opponent, Wannstedt paused and said, "To be honest with you, we just need to win a game."
Wannstedt, 53, hasn't won a game of any sort in nearly a year. It was Oct. 24, 2004, when his Dolphins beat the St. Louis Rams, 31-14. After two more defeats dropped the Dolphins to 1-8, Wannstedt resigned with his NFL record stuck at 82-86 in 11 years in Chicago and Miami.
In coping with this year's struggles, Wannstedt has taken to quoting some of his favorite coaches, from Bill Parcells ("When you don't have success, there's a lot of exit doors") to Chuck Noll.
A few days after the Ohio game, somebody asked Wannstedt if he was feeling the pressure. His response: "Coach Noll said it best: 'Pressure's something you feel when you don't know what the heck you're doing.'"
Some have accused Wannstedt and offensive coordinator Matt Cavanaugh of exactly that in their handling of redshirt junior quarterback Tyler Palko, who was coming off a spectacular debut season under Harris but who has been blitzed regularly and has completed just 51 percent of his passes with one touchdown and four interceptions.
Pitt's offense hasn't scored a touchdown in two-plus games and is ranked 94th out of 117 Division I-A teams. The offensive line is wracked with inexperience and ill health, but Palko isn't making excuses.
"Like coach said, we're not playing well right now, but we're getting better and we're going to keep fighting," Palko said. "Football's a rough game. It's a tough game. Things don't always go your way. It's a test of manhood to see what kind of guys we have on this football team."
Cavanaugh quarterbacked the 1976 Pitt national title team and worked as Wannstedt's offensive coordinator with a couple of low-scoring, 4-12 Chicago Bears teams in 1997 and '98 before spending the past six seasons as the Baltimore Ravens' offensive coordinator. He made a surprising admission after the Ohio game, saying one of the three interceptions was his fault for calling a route that was more tailored to the NFL than college because of the difference in the spacing of the hash marks.
"I learned the hard way that the college hash [marks] make it a much tougher throw," Cavanaugh said. "There's a lot that I'm still learning, and that was a prime example."
Cavanaugh was a serious candidate for the Pitt coaching job last winter. Wannstedt initially refused athletic director Jeff Long's offer but quickly changed his mind and signed a five-year deal in December. He promised a punishing rushing attack and, eventually, a return to national championship contention.
He did not foresee a start like this. Nobody did.
"I'm disappointed," Wannstedt said. "But I'm not discouraged."
If Wannstedt can handle giving the ball to a running back wearing No. 34 (that was Ricky's number), he might just have a go-to guy in freshman LaRod Stephens, who rushed for 98 yards at Nebraska. Unfavorable comparisons to Harris' offense are likely to fade in the wake of Stanford's failure to score an offensive touchdown at home Saturday in a stunning 20-17 loss to UC-Davis -- a program in the midst of upgrading from Division II to I-AA.
Harris' inability to recruit enough quality linemen on both sides of the ball has hampered Wannstedt in a big way. Harris had only two offensive linemen and two defensive linemen drafted during his eight-year tenure, none higher than the fifth round. Wannstedt was well aware of that problem and has cobbled together a recruiting class the likes of which Pitt fans haven't seen in decades.
Whether that class reaches its potential, who knows? To assume as much would be folly.

The Runbook Tester enables you to simulate the most steps of Orchestrator Workflows.
However, some functionality is not the same in, or is absent from the Runbook Tester.
Before I list the differences I want to explain the important aspects in architecture here:
System Center 2012 (SP1) Orchestrator is designed to execute the checked in Runbooks with "Orchestrator Runbook Service".
But, if you start a Runbook with Runbook Tester
- it is not executed with "Orchestrator Runbook Service".
- it must be checked out.
- it is executed with the account running Runbook Designer / Runbook Tester.
- it is executed on the system running Runbook Designer / Runbook Tester.
Therefore we have a list of items which function differently in Runbook Tester:
- All Standard Activities like "Run .Net Script", "Run Program" or Activities from categories "File Management" and "Text File Management" are executed with the user account which started Runbook Designer / Runbook Tester. This account may have other permissions than the logon account of "Orchestrator Runbook Service".
- All Actives are executed on the system running Runbook Designer / Runbook Tester and not on the system "Orchestrator Runbook Service". If this are different system there may be different Firewall settings or access permissions.
- In tab "Security" you can specify alternate credentials in the most Standard Activities. The Activities may fail if the user running Runbook Tester has not the permission to impersonate the user.
- The "Invoke Runbook" Activity will fail if the Runbook that should be invoked is also checked out (behavior in System Center 2012 SP1 Orchestrator).
- The Counter values are not saved into the Datastore and the original Counters are unaffected by execution with Runbook Tester.
- The "Send Platform Event" Activity will execute in the Runbook Tester, but it will not write an event in tab "Events".
- The Instance of the "Runbook" executed in Runbook Tester will not be saved in "Log History" of the Runbook.
Before you transfer a Runbook to production make sure that it is executed with "Orchestrator Runbook Service" as you expect:
- If you need to pass values to the "Initialize Data" Activity you can start the Runbook with "Orchestration Console".
- Turn on Logging in the Properties of the Runbook to see in in Log and Log History the Activity specific and common Data for each executed Activity.
- Disable the Activities you don't want to test temporarily.

The Media City: Media, Architecture and Urban Spaceby Scott McQuire
View All Available Formats & Editions
Pub. Date: 11/01/2010
Publisher: SAGE Publications
Significant changes are occurring in the social spaces of modern cities and the social functioning of media. This erudite, forceful book argues that the spaces and rhythms of contemporary cities are radically different to those described in classic theories of urbanism. Changes in the city have been paralleled by the transformation of media which has become increasingly mobile, instantaneous and pervasive. The media are no longer separate from the city. Offering social commentary at the deepest levels of historical and critical reference, The Media City links Myspace to Howard Hughes; trams to cinema; security cameras to exploding buildings; reality TV to Marx; and Lenin on privacy to Kracauer on the mass ornament.
Wide-ranging and richly illustrated, it intersects disciplines and connects phenomena which are too often left isolated from each other to propose a new way of understanding public and private space and social life in contemporary cities.
It will find a broad readership in media and communications, cultural studies, social theory, urban sociology, architecture and art history.

Dyson challenges its engineers to build racers from spare parts (video!)
Posted by Andrey Malskiy Categories: Household, Mods / Hacks, Videos
UK-based vacuum cleaner manufacturer Dyson recently held a competition to see which of its engineers could design the fastest racecar using just spare vacuum cleaner parts. Just like the vacuum clears, there were some very creative car ideas. Some worked well, while others were novel in concept only. Check out the video above to see the geekiest race to take place so far this year.

STARKVILLE -- The defending NAIA champions Pikeville Bears gave the Mississippi State men's basketball team an early run Friday night, but a balanced and dominating second-half performance by the Bulldogs' starting five closed the door on Pikeville's upset bid.
STARKVILLE -- The NCAA has ruled Mississippi State forward Kristers Zeidaks ineligible for the 2011-12 men's basketball season. The NCAA Eligibility Center confirmed Zeidaks, who is from Latvia, will be suspended for this season and 11 games next season for his participation in a league that included professional players and for playing against professional players in his home country.
Starkville Academy coach Jeff Terrill doesn't totally understand the need for recent rule changes enacted by the Mississippi Association of Community College and Junior College presidents. One thing Terrill knows is he doesn't like the changes.
East Mississippi Community College didn't play many tight games in its undefeated run through regular season this year. The tightest game No. 3 EMCC played was a 20-17 victory against Hinds C.C. on Sept. 8 in Raymond. A lot has happened since the second week of the season.
Todd Bramble has watched his University of Alabama women's soccer team come a long way in the past two months.
Recent rule changes for athletics at Mississippi Association of Community and Junior College member institutions are roughly a month old. However, the buzz hasn't died down. Instead, it has gotten louder.
A graveyard job. That's how Jason Simpson's friends and colleagues in college football described the job of head coach at the University of Tennessee at Martin.
ORANGE BEACH, Ala. -- The eighth-seeded University of Alabama women's soccer team opened the Southeastern Conference tournament with a 1-0 victory against top-seeded South Carolina on Wednesday night at the Orange Beach Sportsplex. The win is the first for the Crimson Tide in the tournament since 1998.
STARKVILLE -- There's a moment minutes before kickoff every Saturday when Mississippi State cornerback Johnthan Banks does something in drills his position coach has never seen.
STARKVILLE -- Today marks one-year anniversary former Mississippi State football player Nick Bell died after a fight with cancer. MSU is using Homecoming this weekend to honor his memory. The MSU Student Association hosted a 3.6-mile run Tuesday evening to raise money for the Nick Bell Mentoring Memorial Foundation.
SCOOBA -- Rewarded with a No. 7 NJCAA preseason ranking following consecutive national tournament appearances, the East Mississippi Community College men's basketball team will tip off the 2011-12 season at 7 tonight when it plays host to Southern Sports Academy at Keyes T. Currie Coliseum.
Todd Bramble wasn't about to complain. Armed with all of the amenities anyone could want to occupy their time on a four-hour bus ride, the University of Alabama women's soccer coach did what a lot of people would do: He took a nap.
OXFORD -- The trend for University of Mississippi football team is an embarrassing one. Run the ball against the Rebels' defense. Win an award.
STARKVILLE -- Eleven won't be a number that defines the 2011-12 Mississippi State women's basketball team. Instead, the Lady Bulldogs will use that number, which corresponds to where media members picked them in the Southeastern Conference preseason poll released Tuesday.
STARKVILLE -- Malcolm Johnson thinks highly of Marcus Green. Johnson, a redshirt freshman tight end on the Mississippi State football team, has so many good things to say about Green, his senior teammate at the position, it's easy to think he could be his coach.
STARKVILLE -- For the third straight week, Mississippi State junior Fletcher Cox was named Southeastern Conference defensive lineman of the week. In the past four weeks, the only time Cox, a defensive tackle, hasn't received the honor was after MSU was on a bye week.
STARKVILLE -- Leader. It's a simple term that conveys a lot of responsibility. Whether it is orchestrating body bumps or leading a team onto the court or making sure the basketball gets into the hands of the right player, Diamber Johnson enters her final season at Mississippi State confident she can handle all of those roles and more.
LEXINGTON, Ky. -- Apparently the cure for offensive futility is having a bye week to prepare for the University of Kentucky's defense. This set of steps is the only way to explain Mississippi State's 398 total yards and its 28-16 road win against Kentucky on Saturday night.
LEXINGTON, Ky. -- Mississippi State football coach Dan Mullen said for weeks it was possible his quarterbacks would constantly rotate. The third-year coach was a man of his word Saturday as Tyler Russell and Chris Relf had impressive performances in a 28-16 victory against the University of Kentucky.
LEXINGTON, Ky. -- The Mississippi State football team reversed its numbers Saturday in what coach Dan Mullen calls the most important part of the field. MSU's ability to go 4-for-5 (four touchdowns) inside the University of Kentucky's 20-yard-line Saturday proved to be the difference in a 28-16 victory, its first in the Southeastern Conference this season.

The recipe of noodles with nuts, a simple dish but is rich in tradition, in fact it is customary to make this dish in celebration of Christmas Eve.

Good Piece on SPLC's Pet Assassin
Oh, is it unfair to call Floyd Corkins the SPLC's Pet Assassin?
I suppose I'd be more interested in fairness if the SPLC itself didn't engage in precisely this tactic.
The point here isnt that the SPLC is to blame for what Corkins did, the point is that hysteria about incitement runs only one way in major media, with virtually no coherent explanation apart from raw partisan advantage. To believe (erroneously) that Palins map inspired Loughner but that the SPLCs hate map didnt inspire Corkins, you have to presume to read two incomprehensibly scrambled minds and conclude that the use of a symbol in a metaphorical context, rather than a blacklist devoted to shaming evil groups, is the tipping point for violent action. Why anyone would presume that, I dont know; if were searching for catalysts to a rampage in a disturbed mind, theres no obvious reason why demonizing someone by adding them to a hate list wouldnt work just as well as, or better than, an electoral map that uses gun symbolism vis-a-vis defeating incumbents at the polls.
They don't even bother to explain, of course. That is the privilege of the aristocracy: they don't have to explain themselves to anyone.
SPLC: Did Rightwing Internet Hate Cause Jared Loughner to Shoot People? They're quick to ask the question when it gets them donations.
Shoes on the other foot -- now asked if their own intemperate Otherizing language might be responsible for a crazed loser trying to kill people -- they refuse comment.

First Look: Kim Kardashian's Big Acting Debut!
21 December 2012 9:00 AM, PST
Brace yourselves -- KIm Kardashian will finally make her big acting debut (if you don't count her stint in "Disaster Movie").The 32-year-old stars in Tyler Perry's latest flick "Temptation: Confessions of a Marriage Counselor" where she plays a Ava, a worker at a matchmaking agency (ironic, given her relationship history). The film focuses on a marriage counselor (Jurnee Smollett) whose life becomes complicated when she finds herself romantically involved with one of her clients. In the latest trailer for the flick, Kim shows off her assets in one of her typical curve-hugging ensembles, and gives her best attempt at acting (although from what we've seen, her character in the movie seems pretty close to her real-life facade). Guess we'll have to wait until the movie comes out to fully judge her acting chops -- Kim has said she hopes to win an Oscar one day!What do you think of her latest role? »

Muncie, IN
To bring the fantasy world of Blizzard's blockbuster game franchise to life, "Warcraft" director Duncan Jones obviously had to rely heavily on CG effects. However, as you can see in newly release behind-the-scenes photos, filmmakers also constructed some pretty spectacular sets.
Jones has been sharing the images on Twitter over the past couple of days, emphasizing, "Haha! Don't worry… no. these are not reshoots. These are from the original production. Was asked not to put any BTS stuff up till now."
Opening June 10, "Warcraft" depicts the initial encounters between humans and orcs, as the peaceful realm of Azeroth is pushed to the brink of war as a portal opens, allowing the orcs to flee their dying home in hopes of colonizing another. The film stars Travis Fimmel, Dominic Cooper, Ben Foster, Ruth Negga, Toby Kebbell, Clancy Brown, Robert Kazinsky and Daniel Wu.

Publisher's Description
Evidences and commonalities explored from ancient man around the globe!
- Why structures echoing the Tower of Babel have been recreated on almost every continent and major culture
- What artifacts and archaeology, technology and innovation, really reveal about the origin of mankind
- Why many biblical symbols (rainbows, human sacrifice, mountains, the Son/ sun worship) were, and continue to be, distorted in pagan religious practices
- What the historical record reveals about Satans "counterfeit" of Gods plan for humanity
All over the world there are similar findings of ancient religions, cities and towers, world travel, advanced astronomy, and civilized government. Over the course of two years, a team of researchers from Jackson Hole Bible College has worked to bring together the different pieces of the convoluted mystery and history of ancient man.
Hours of researching, trips to various sites around North and Central America, visits to museums, and meetings with experts have provided the team with an overwhelming amount of evidence for the intelligence of these early innovators. A jumble of anomalies and magnificent structures continue to confound archaeology and anthropology today, yet as the dots are connected, one finds history as described in the biblical record.

Arizona Cardinals
Horton on Russell Wilson: 'He is impressive'
There are few players in the NFL garnering as much attention right now as Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson.
At the beginning of the season, the undersized rookie from Wisconsin was overshadowed by fellow first-year signal callers Andrew Luck and Robert Griffin III. However entering Week 14, Wilson finds himself competing with them for the Offensive Rookie of the Year Award.
"He is impressive," Arizona Cardinals defensive coordinator Ray Horton said of Wilson.
The Cardinals beat Wilson in the season opener, but Horton knows that he has his work cut out for him if he wants to do it again.
"Obviously we played him in the first game, I saw all his preseason games, saw all his regular season games and (he is) tremendous," Horton said. "Real accurate with the ball, makes a ton of plays with his feet, has command of the offense and if you didn't know he was a rookie you wouldn't think he was."
Horton feels that Wilson's mobility is one of the key reasons the former Badger is so hard to stop.
"He just trusts it more and he just makes so many plays that a less mobile quarterback wouldn't be able to make," Horton said.
This time last season, the Seahawks were 5-7 and looking at the playoff picture from a far. However this season, they are 7-5 and appear to be front runners for a wildcard spot.
According to Horton, Wilson is the reason the Seahawks have gotten so much better.
"I think it is everything. Last year they had a mobile, athletic quarterback in (Tarvaris) Jackson, but they didn't go far," Horton said. "I would put all of it on him (Wilson)."
