Now imagine that anthill during a meteorite storm, and you have the febrile scurry of internet fora. With each shard of visuals, each precious datum that descends from working game development houses, a vibratory cry goes up. Gamers struggle to sort new screenshots or playable impressions into slots like a busy mental mailroom, or thrown as a novel tessera into an ever-growing mosaic.
Though any person who's registered on a video game discussion forum is clearly appreciative of the medium, and probably anticipating joyous future engagement, disappointment is encountered more commonly than satisfaction. This is never more true than during the transition between generations of console hardware. Both the attention level and the expectations of the audience run in the red, but the reality of the new machines and their games often throttle those hopes in the cradle. Look around the internet right now, and you're bound to find comparisons like these:
Left to right, time lowers the bar. Top to bottom:
Tekken, Motorstorm, Fight Night Round 3
Terrible, right? Indicative of the contempt companies like Sony have for gamers' intelligence. They promised us the moon, and handed us a hunk of smelly cheese. It's too easy to say things like this; I could continue all day, though I doubt I could keep up with the chorus of disillusioned catcalls and profanity that suffuses current internet conversation about the "BS3". It's telling that the most positive comments you're apt to encounter would run along the lines "Well, they've still got [x] months to make it look better."
With justification, such exculpatory weaseling is derided. The graphics are what they are, and the gap is just too large to leap. At this point, anger often takes over. Gamers feel insulted, babied, ignored. They point to hubris and hyperbole streaming from console maker executives, and vow not to be taken in again. Their cynicism develops deep and unkillable roots, to the extent that for every person complaining about the letdown, there's another telling them "What did you expect? The truth?"
Do people actually forget? Do they need those reminders of the past? While I think we must answer yes to these questions, I also think we can't attribute short memories to doddering idiocy. The misprision is generated by a hulking hammer bent on distortion, cold-forged over years of experience shaping human desires--it's no shame that anyone can be knocked out of whack by it. I'm speaking, of course, of advertising.
Within a capitalist milieu, customers and producers are both served by being able to differentiate between products of different manufacturers. This allows the close tracking of consumer demand which is the sempiternal undirected end of the invisible hand. However, over time it was discovered that human psychology, too, is static and predictable (within limits). Strategies for manipulation quickly leapt to prominence, and while paranoiac claims of "brainwashing", "mind control", or the irresistible effects of subliminal ads are hokum, they contain a modicum of truth. Advertising is after our money, and doesn't care if it has to dissemble to get it.
Eyecatch and eyesore: Super Mario Bros. 3
I imagine some might protest that the advertising shown on the left wasn't meant to show gameplay, and that in this it's more honest than the disappointments I began with. But the change isn't due to some imagined honesty, but instead the steep rise in technical sophistication video games have undergone. The cartooned flying Mario, big smile on his Italian mug, is meant to convey through emotion and color the sensation of playing the game, rather than watching it. Mere images, pallid on the page or even glowing from the screen, don't get to the heart of the experience.
But isn't that exactly what the left column of images in my opening comparison were meant to do? They're attempts to replicate an entire event, not just report on what the pixels will look like. You will assume the persona of a powerful fighter inTekken or FNR3, or a daredevil driver in Motorstorm--these "lies" are actually a way to push a complex truth.
That doesn't mean they aren't still lies. The footage of the new Killzone shown at E3 2005 is misleading for the very simple reason that gameplay won't look anything like it. Similarly, the trailer for Assassin's Creed is beyond the ability of the game engine, as shown by recent screenshots. Does this make either game morally bankrupt? No more than any game has ever been. Old Atari 2600 cartridges like Yar's Revenge came with comic book meant to flesh out the extremely rudimentary "game world" (a screen). Some developers are more scrupulous than others--Activision began committed to real graphics on their packaging; Blizzard seem to trust their art direction to sell rather than misleading tweaks. Even the worst offenders, though, are not really to blame. We are.
To look past the bull, we have to see with new eyes. We have to find a way to accord promotional materials all the seriousness they deserve, but without being duped. On an intellectual level, most folks know that graphics on par with modern movie CGI will not be possible in real time on even the most powerful of current machines. It's at the emotional level where their doubt might waver, and it's straight at the emotional level that advertising is pitched.
Idyll of the would-be king
Such an attractive sunset in Oblivion's Tamriel, isn't it? A place bursting with potential, a tiny slice of free-roaming heaven. The rugged architecture of some imperial culture, placid wavelets promising a fresh breeze, and a rigged-out boat to take us wherever we desire. But look closer:
Where did the world go?
Those effervescent seiche rills don't extend even to the far shore, which is itself an ugly heap of dull mudballs, devoid of life though peppered with repetitive tree shapes. What looked enticing becomes depressing, because our emotions wanted a world as rich visually as it is conceptually. We desperately don't want that vision compromised, though we are aware on a dry, technical level that it's beyond achievement now. It's hard to always apply such acumen, for the errors might be small.
The beauty pass
Here's a screenshot from the upcoming dragon-riding game Lair. In its full 720p HD glory (available here on 1up), it's been awarded much praise and drooling geekery. And yes, it looks impressive at first blush. But it's improved texture work that so much shocks the eyes used to muddy blur on current consoles. There's no distant items to detract as there was with the Oblivion shot, but even this looming behemoth has problems. Look at the mouth, and you see sharp "curves" and reflective gums that look like plastic; look at the wings' trailing edges and you see ragged, blocky tatters that aren't anti-aliased; look at the body and you can see tearing where polygons don't mesh right.
My point is that none of this should give you a gnawing sickness in the pit of your stomach. That I, or others, can find graphical problems in next-generation games doesn't mean they won't be any fun to play. Maybe Tekken will be awesome; perhaps Lair shall blow minds; certainly even the lack of incredible lighting didn't dissuade some people from really enjoying Fight Night Round 3. If there's a common heritage that all video gamers share, it might include the phrase "gameplay is more important than graphics", which you will hear bandied in discussions of this sort. It's no easy task in the face of advertising and its attempts to turn every game experience into a rollercoaster, but try to keep this cliche in mind. Like most, it began as a truism.
Also like most, it ignores detail. While graphics don't trump gameplay, they certainly enhance it. Given two engines mechanically identical, appearance becomes an important factor of choice. That's why developers still leak screenshots and videos, even though they run the risk of disillusioning future customers. Metal Gear Solid 4 isn't as technically overwhelming as it might appear; it just deploys its assets in ways that obscure its faults. This is an ideal way that a technically hobbled title can still impress more than a maladroit cutting-edge one. When forming a method of telling hype from essence, it's important to remember that.
It's also possible to go too far the other way. All my poor-looking comparisons in this article have suffered from JPEG compression; they've benefited from being shrunk down. The bad versions of Tekken and Motorstorm are photos of TV screens, which is hardly conducive to showy gloss. And yes, like some say, these games do still have months to go.
Instead of that cop-out, though, let me finish with two eggs of hope. It's filmed off a TV (hurtful), and shrunk down (helpful), so who knows how accurate an impression you can get? But this in-game footage of Motorstorm looks pretty good to me. Bright desert skies, loose physics, thrown debris--it may not be on par with its first promos, but it looks not half-bad, and very much more advanced than current-generation racers. Due to size, I'm only including a link:
56k Warning! This movie file is large!
And at the end, a screenshot from Warhawk. I've tweaked the color, but you'll be able to do that on your TV, too. Instead of berating lying publishers, occasionally take a moment to thank your stars that you can expect so much and sometimes get it. A few scant years ago, this image could only have been concept art. Now, it's perfectly believable as gameplay. . .and very pretty, no matter how good the game ends up being.

In the '80s, the Tombstones emerged as a punk and rockabilly outfit that tore up stages playing fast and furious rock 'n' roll driven by fire, brimstone and dark imagery. Like a cousin to the Cramps, the Gun Club and X, the group's sound injected vintage rock 'n' roll with vibrant energy.

Using parameterized signatures to express modular structure
Modularity is the degree to which a system's components may be separated and recombined. The meaning of the word, however, can vary somewhat by context: In biology, modularity refers to the concept that organisms or metabolic pathways are composed of modules. In nature, modularity refers to the construction of a cellular organism by joining together standardized units to form larger compositions, as for example, the hexagonal cells in a honeycomb.

Library (computing)
In computer science, a library is a collection of resources used to develop software. These may include pre-written code and subroutines, classes, values or type specifications. Libraries contain code and data that provide services to independent programs. This encourages the sharing and changing of code and data in a modular fashion, and eases the distribution of the code and data. Some executables are both standalone programs and libraries, but most libraries are not executable.
more from Wikipedia
Modular programming
Modular programming (also known as top down design and stepwise refinement) is a software design technique that increases the extent to which software is composed of separate, interchangeable components called modules by breaking down program functions into modules, each of which accomplishes one function and contains everything necessary to accomplish this.
more from Wikipedia
Data type
In certain technical fields, a data type is a classification identifying one of various types of data, such as real-valued, integer or Boolean, that determines the possible values for that type; the operations that can be done on values of that type; the meaning of the data; and the way values of that type can be stored.
more from Wikipedia
Type theory
In mathematics, logic and computer science, type theory is any of several formal systems that can serve as alternatives to naive set theory, or the study of such formalisms in general. In programming language theory, a branch of computer science, type theory can refer to the design, analysis and study of type systems, although some computer scientists limit the term's meaning to the study of abstract formalisms such as typed ¿-calculi.
more from Wikipedia
Software system
A software system is a system based on software forming part of a computer system (a combination of hardware and software). The term "software system" is often used as a synonym of computer program or software; is related to the application of systems theory approaches in software engineering context and are used to study large and complex software, because it focuses on the major components of software and their interactions; and also related to the field of software architecture.

But when you're walking down the street
And you ain't had enough to eat
The glitter rubs right off and you're nowhere (on Broadway)
They say the women treat you right on Broadway
But looking at them just gives me the blues
'Cause how you gonna make some time
When all you got is one thin dime
And one thin dime won't even shine your shoes (on Broadway)
They say that I won't last too long on Broadway
I'll catch a Greyhound bus for home, they all say
But They're dead wrong, I know they are
'Cause I can play this here guitar
And I won't quit till I'm a star on Broadway (on Broadway)

Product Description
From the Publisher
From the practical demands of having children, to the change of identity it brings, this collection of essays by noted writers and artists speaks to women's experience of motherhood: the need for "a room of one's own," the difficulty in balancing a career with the demands of child–rearing, postnatal depression, the "ideal" of motherhood, holding on to one's sense of self, and choosing not to have children. Vivid and inspiring, this anthology forms an intimate portrait of women's shared experience and opens a window onto the creative mind.

One sentence that pierced my heart and made my face crumple with pain was, "Other Mothers' Sons [a painting] was created out of fear and empathy for the mothers who had nurtured and protected young men through infancy and childhood, only to risk losing them in a battle that was not of their making." I'm not sure why this particular sentence touched me so--maybe just as a mother of young sons--or maybe I was feeling particularly emotional. Reading it now, it doesn't hit me quite the way it first did. There was something about this book that just really touched me in an emotional place. I recommend it especially to mothers who also do other creative work in addition to mothering.

"When you accept money in payment for your effort, you do so only on the conviction that you will exchange it for the product of the effort of others. It is not the moochers or the looters who give value to money. Not an ocean of tears nor all the guns in the world can transform those pieces of paper in your wallet into the bread you will need to survive tomorrow. Those pieces of paper which should have been gold, are a token of honor -- your claim upon the energy of the men who produce. Your wallet is your statement of hope that somewhere in the world around you there are men who will not default on that moral principle which is the root of money." ~ Ayn Rand

This book is chock full of good crockpot recipes. Ive made a few and all were good. Highly recommended. Check out the other books I've recommended. They were good too.
This is well worth the 99 cents! So many easy receipes, and a variety of foods.
I work AND cook for a family of 6, so a crock pot is a crucial part of my life. I looked at the sample recipes, however, & the execution of the recipe completely lacks the critical steps, such as 1st browning burger before putting it the crock potwith beans and sauce. Use the sample & see if the recipes work before taking up valuable memory. You can find other books and websites that are far more valuable resources.
This is a gteat book. No pictures but I have found many,many recipies that I want to try. There are over 1300 pages to this book.
Easy to navigate. Quick and easy recipes. Pictures would have been nice.
I have made at least ten recipes from this book. They have all been fabulous!! If you are looking for great crock pot recipe book this is the one!!
Good recipes and easy to navigate.
This cookbook is wonderful because the recipes encorporate items that you would normally have in your pantry. The recipes are easy to understand, tasty, and include all types of meats. I use the cookbook often and even use the recipes for stove and baking methods. This is a must for people who are working and do not have time for exhausting and time consuming meals. But the great thing is that they taste like they are!
This book has tons of recipes but they are often missing information regarding how to proceed and ingredients are left out.
Nicely done. Well formatted and grouped in appropriate chapters. Slightly searchable in that you can at least find a desired chapter. Would have been nice to search by ingredient. I'm looking forward to trying many of the included recipes.
This book is great! It has tons of recipes and they are well organized according to main ingredient. My husband says we will never need another crockpot cookbook.
I bought this book for .99 cents and i love this book and there are great things in it to cook so if your wondering if you should buy this book i say go for it its a time saver and you' ll love it.
Who would have thought that a free cookbook would be packed full of great ideas. There are recipies for anything you can think of and some you don't I will use this cookbook often! Thank you
Great collection of recipes.
Great cooking ideas, easy and fun
Recipes are vague, basically throw a bunch of stuff in your crockpot and that is it. Some recipes have names like "beef roast II". No photographs of the finished dish, save your money. 1300+ pages of useless.
Recipes are missing key steps and include prepackaged ingredients I would not recommend this book and I'm glad I only paid 99 cents
The book isn't bad, formatted ok and such, but the recipes were not very good. I tried several and we really didn't like any of them. Sorry but this is a pass.

Anonymous Coward 1176938
Yeah ...
The Lesson is:
DON'T Give your Money to a Bloated Federal
Government that Redistributes Wealth as they see fit
to People that are far-separated from the People
in your OWN Community who need help the MOST.
We in America didn't have Welfare as we know it until 1965.
The Churches, the Local Communities and PEOPLE helped
out their fellow man
not Pelosi, Reid and Obama!
Now people are
ADDICTED to a sense of Entitlement
Liberal Politicians --
Free Government Cheese for all!
"Government Cheese"
Give a man a free house and he'll bust out the windows
Put his family on food stamps, now he's a big spender
no food on the table and the bills ain't paid
'Cause he spent it on cigarettes and P.G.A.
They'll turn us all into beggars 'cause they're easier to please
They're feeding our people that Government Cheese
Give a man free food and he'll figure out a way
To steal more than he can eat 'cause he doesn't have to pay
Give a woman free kids and you'll find them in the dirt
Learning how to carry on the family line of work
It's the man in the White House, the man under the steeple
Passing out drugs to the American people
I don't believe in anything, nothing is free
They're feeding our people the Government Cheese
Give a man a free ticket on a dead end ride
And he'll climb in the back even though nobody's driving
Too ******* lazy to crawl out of the wreck
And he'll rot there while he waits for the welfare check
Going to hell in a handbag, can't you see
I ain't gonna eat no Government Cheese
Please verify you're human:

What are knee pain symptoms and signs?
The location of the knee pain can vary depending on which structure is involved. With infection or an inflammatory process, the whole knee might be swollen and painful, while a torn meniscus or fracture of a bone gives symptoms only in one specific location.
The severity of the pain can vary, from a minor ache to a severe and disabling pain.
Some of the other findings that accompany knee pain are
- difficulty walking due to instability of the knee,
- limping due to discomfort,
- difficulty walking up or down steps due to ligament damage,
- locking of the knee (unable to bend the knee),
- redness and swelling,
- inability to extend the knee. Continue Reading

Because of large variations involved in handwritten words, the recognition problem is very difficult. Hidden Markov models (HMM) have been widely and successfully used in speech processing and recognition. Recently HMM has also been used with some success in recognizing handwritten words with presegmented letters. In this paper, a complete scheme for totally unconstrained handwritten word recognition based on a single contextual hidden Markov model type stochastic network is presented. Our scheme includes a morphology and heuristics based segmentation algorithm, a training algorithm that can adapt itself with the changing dictionary, and a modified Viterbi algorithm which searches for the (l+1)th globally best path based on the previous l best paths. Detailed experiments are carried out and successful recognition results are reported

With Sunni Arab frustration at a boil at home, unprecedented Sunni-Shiite polarisation in the region and deadly car bombings plaguing the country, Iraq is inching toward relapse into generalised sectarian conflict.
Peter Harling, Crisis Group's Middle East Senior Adviser
In its latest report, Make or Break: Iraq's Sunnis and the State, the International Crisis Group examines the question of Sunni Arab participation in the political order that has beleaguered the transition since its inception. Quickly marginalised by an ethno-sectarian apportionment that confined them to minority status in a system dominated by Arab Shiites and Kurds, community members first shunned the new dispensation then fought it. The past few years of participation have produced few dividends and again convinced many Sunni Arabs that their only realistic option is a violent conflict increasingly framed in confessional terms. In the absence of a dramatic shift in approach, Iraq's fragile polity risks breaking down, a victim of the combustible mix of its longstanding flaws and growing regional tensions.
"Deploying additional troops and special forces, arresting more people and attempting to subdue whole swathes of society through intimidation produces the opposite of the desired effect: it consolidates the split between Sunni Arabs and Baghdad's central authorities", says Maria Fantappie, Crisis Group Middle East Analyst. "Maliki, who partly owes his power to the U.S., ought to know this best, insofar as Washington pursued this approach before concluding that it would not succeed".
"This time around, U.S. firepower would not be available, and Iraq's volatile strategic environment would present far greater challenges than a weak state could hope to overcome", says Peter Harling, Crisis Group Middle East Senior Adviser. "Maliki's strength typically has resided in his ability to present himself as a national leader. He would be well advised to do so again".

There are a number of things that LP could do for me that do not influence the upstream bug quality (very much), but help to make forwarding more efficient: Ideally, when clicking on "File bug upstream...", the following would happen: * I get a new browser window with upstream's bug filing page, with me already being logged in, and some fields already pre-filled (such as affected package, or the URL: field in Gnome bugzilla, which should point to the Ubuntu bug). * I type the problem description from upstream's perspective and fill out the remaining fields that upstream wants to have in bug reports. * I click on the submit button, which would then automatically link the bug in an upstream LP task. Of course this ideal state probably cannot be implemented completely for all existing bug trackers (quite tricky with debbugs, for example), it's just how I would like it to look like. This would take the boring technical details out of the process while still leaving the important bits, which are IMHO: * Not circumventing upstream's forms and UI. * Not trying to generate a sensible upstream bug description from the Ubuntu bug trail.

A report from Comic-Con 2016 on the various ways to celebrate the 50th anniversary of "Star Trek."
Mike Nichols' "Carnal Knowledge" opens on a darkened screen, and we hear the traditional Glenn Miller arrangement of "Moonlight Serenade." And then we hear two young men earnestly talking of young women, and sex, and their ambitions in those two directions.
We learn that the first young man hopes to meet a high-class girl, one with morals, who will tell him things he never knew about himself. We learn that the second young man wants exactly that kind of girl too, only with big boobs. And then...
We find ourselves at a college mixer sometime in the late 1940s. Candice Bergen drifts past the two intense young men, who are leaning in a doorway and checking out the talent, and she finds herself a perch on a windowsill. "She's yours. I'm giving her to you," Jack Nicholson (who doesn't have her to give) tells Art Garfunkel (who doesn't know how to take her).
After a pep talk from Nicholson, Garfunkel finally musters the courage to wander over toward Miss Bergen, but he's too shy to speak. He stops in front of her, pretends to look out the window at something tremendously interesting (if invisible) on the other side, and then returns to Nicholson, defeated.
With the perception and economy that mark their entire film, Nichols and his writer, Jules Feiffer, have established the theme of "Carnal Knowledge" in this handful of shots: The film will be about men who are incapable of reaching, touching or deeply knowing women.
We meet the two men during their college years, and follow them for maybe 20 years afterward as they drift through a marriage apiece and several frustrating liaisons with the kinds of women they think they desire. Both men rely a great deal on their supposed sexual prowess, but both are insecure sexually and the Nicholson character finally becomes impotent.
Their problem, to the degree they share one, is that they try to find their fantasy-woman in the flesh, and discover when the fantasy becomes real that the real woman is all too real for them to live with and understand. The thing is, they both want to be dominated by women -- only not really.
"Carnal Knowledge" never finds its male characters at "fault," exactly, and the movie isn't concerned with fixing blame. It chooses the tragedy form, not the essay. At the end, we're left with people who have experienced as much suffering as they've caused through their inability to accept women as fellow human beings. The Nicholson character is reduced to highly complicated charades with a prostitute (Rita Moreno), and the Garfunkel character is still kidding himself. In his early 40s, he's grown a mustache and affected a hip life style and shacked up with a 17-year-old. "She may only be 17," he tells his old classmate, "but in many ways, I'm telling you, she's older than me."
"Carnal Knowledge" is clearly Mike Nichols' best film. It sets out to tell us certain things about these few characters and their sexual crucifixions, and it succeeds. It doesn't go for cheap or facile laughs, or inappropriate symbolism, or a phony kind of contemporary feeling.
The Ann-Margret role is the best example, I think, of Nichols' determination to stay within the diameters of his characters. Ann-Margret has been in a lot of bad movies, and done some bad acting in them, and this role (with makeup including a remarkably realistic artificial chest) could have degenerated into a parody with no trouble at all. Instead, it's an artistic triumph.
Nicholson, who is possibly the most interesting new movie actor since James Dean, carries the film, and his scenes with Ann-Margret are masterfully played. Art Garfunkel tends to be a shade transparent, although not to the degree that the film suffers, and Candice Bergen is very good, but in the kind of role she plays too often, the sweet-bitchy-classy college girl.
As I've suggested, "Carnal Knowledge" stays within the universe of its characters, and inhabits it totally. And within that universe, men and woman fail to find sexual and personal happiness because they can't break through their patterns of treating each other as objects.
"It's a madhouse!"
This movie is trying to kill these women, but they endure.
Women are nicer than men. There are exceptions. Most people of both sexes are probably fairly nice, given the nat...

Crowd Favorites
Stephanie Seymour made a name for herself with teen and early 20's years of nude photos, drugs, and fucking famous celebrities. Maybe four star resort barebacking with Warren Beatty isn't so horrible, but sucking Axl Rose's limp drunk dick for nine months has to leave an emotional mark.read more
A couple years ago Stephanie Seymour had to go on Oprah and cry a lot because people were making incest jokes after beach vacation photos showed her in a bikini getting super hands on groping with her two teen boys. It was one of those weird moments when you're not sure if you're being oversensitive to a weirdly close-knit Euro family or a step away from exposing some horrible multi-generational family rape camp with...read more
It's been more than twenty years since she beat the crap out of the much smaller Axl Rose for being a dick even by rock frontman standards. Stephanie Seymour still looks hot enough to take a beating from if there's some sex to follow. I guess trouble girls grow into trouble women who eventually grow into trouble senior citizens who get geriatrics to buy them jewelry and disinherit their children because even at 75...read more
Just like she does every Christmas, Stephanie Seymour is in St. Barts today wearing a bikini, and hopefully the kid she's fussing over will turn out better than the other two, who are the worst fucking people on earth. Peter and Nancy Lanza did a better job raising kids. [gallery id="6356"]read more
I'm not positive if that headline is true or not but it's the day before New Years Eve and nothing is going on and no one is at work and these are just more bikini pictures of Stephanie Seymour in St. Barts and I wanted it to seem more exiting. So I added that part about a double cross and her being an assassin. Who knows, it could be true. In hindsight I hope it's not true though because she would probably come after...read more
December is an underrated time of year for bikini pictures because that's when a lot of rich people go on hedonistic vacations. Like Stephanie Seymour, who is in St. Barts (as she was last year). Seeing models in bikinis is becoming one of the better Christmas traditions. Unless you're real religious, in which case it probably ranks pretty low. (source = inf) [gallery id="7215"]read more
Stephanie Seymour is still on Saint-Barth and still in a bikini, and obviously she's heavier than she used to be, but hey, "titties are titties" as President Obama likes to say. Yesterday she was on Saline Beach with her husband Peter Brant and their family, but these pictures are mostly her with her little girl. So they're a dream come true if you have one of two very specific sexual interests. Weirdo. (image source...read more
Stephanie Seymour is back on Saint Barthelemy (does this chick have a home), and it's really disappointing to see one of the worlds top supermodels turn into someone that couldn't even headline a MILF porn. If we had sex I wouldn't know if she collapsed because I was so good or because she was dizzy from hunger. (image source = inf daily) [gallery id="8021"]read more
Stephanie Seymour got a lot of attention last month when she was frolicking on the beach with her 17-year-old son, Peter Brant II, as if they were secret lovers, but he says there was nothing weird about any of it. "My mother and I are very close as she is with all her children. She often hugs and kisses me and my siblings in a manner that is intimate. Any mother in the world does the same. That day on the beach we...read more
90's supermodel Stephanie Seymour, who is now 42, went down to St. Barths for the Christmas holiday, and struck some seductive poses while on the beach… with her son, Dylan Andrews. Look it's a free country and all but I just don't think you should be presenting to your teenage son. But these models are all perverts, it's no rules man, anything goes! [gallery...read more
Stephanie Seymour is still in St Barts with her stupid kids, but that's not stopping her from essentially (NSFW) taking her top off or wearing see thru bikinis. Even the bottom was kind of see thru. I don't know what bikini designer decided bikinis shouldn't be water proof, but we should find out and then put his picture on all our money, in honor of this great great man. (image source = fame pictures and splash news...read more
90's supermodel Stephanie Seymour is in St Barts today, and even though her stupid kids are with her these pictures are still good because half the time it looks like she's trying to drown them. She'll deny that's what she meant, but it was. Admit it Stephanie. Come to my side. Join me, and I will complete your training. (source = inf daily) [gallery...read more
Stephanie Seymour is still in St Barts, and holy crap she is just on fire (not literally). And my dream came true and now she and her big luscious titties are in a bikini. I tried to edit out that stupid picture-ruining kid as much as possible, but at times it was impossible. It's a marvel Stephanie was even able to get pregnant, and in her prime no less. What Cadillac of a Man was even able to hold out long enough to...read more
I'm not sure what the male equivalent would be for tanning your tits 5 feet away from kids floatie toys, but I'm 100 percent positive that it's wildly illegal. In fact, there's nothing about these pictures that makes a lick of sense. Stephanie Seymour helped invent being a supermodel in the 90's, now she's grooming some fat guy like they're in a zoo. Oh, the passion. [gallery id="907"]read more

Nate Thurmond, the tenacious defensive center who played with Wilt Chamberlain and was an iconic figure in two cities, died Saturday after a short battle with leukemia. He was 74.
Colorado extended its franchise-record unbeaten streak to 14 games with a 1-0 win against Sporting Kansas City in Major League Soccer on Friday, with substitute Marlon Hairston scoring the sole goal and goalkeeper Tim Howard keeping another clean sheet.
Phil Mickelson has nearly everything going his way at this British Open. He has control of his shots and the flight of his ball in the wind and rain. He has the lowest 36-hole total at Royal Troon. He even caught a break with the weather, his black rain suit coming in handy only over his final 10 holes Friday.
Lydia Ko shot a 5-under 66 in windy conditions Friday for a share of the Marathon Classic lead with Hyo Joo Kim.
Chicago's Kyle Hendricks steered the Cubs to a 6-0 win against Texas on Friday in a clash of divisional leaders that highlighted the resumption of Major League Baseball after the mid-season All-Star break.
With so much focus on Usain Bolt's injured hamstring and the Russian team's ban amid charges of systematic doping, it's easy to lose track of who could be making the headlines at the Olympics in Rio de Janeiro.
Chinese Professional Baseball League's Chen Chin-feng is ready to bat in the 2016 All-Stars exhibition game in New Taipei City on Saturday, July 16.
Two people are seen bungee jumping from a 43-meter-high Baling Highway Bridge in the mountainous Fuxing Township, Taoyuan City. This is part of the activities for the 2016 Northern Cross-Island Highway Travel Festival (北橫旅遊節) organized by the Taoyuan City Government, which opened on Saturday, July 16.
Phil Mickelson was 16 feet (4.9 meters) away from a place in history he wouldn't have to share with anyone. Fans watched from a rooftop balcony. Royal Troon members strained to see out the window from the clubhouse behind the 18th green. Jack Nicklaus usually doesn't watch golf on TV, but he made an exception for this moment.
Hyo Joo Kim bogeyed her final hole Thursday for a 5-under 66 and a share of the Marathon Classic lead with fellow South Korean player Mirim Lee and Japan's Haru Nomura.

Toni Kukoc
Toni Kukoc
Chicago Bulls
The talented Croatian is remembered in the States for playing a key role in the Bulls' three-peat in 1996, 1997 and 1998. But Kukoc had already achieved that feat in Europe for the first and only time in the league's history.
The versatile forward helped build his hometown team, Split, into one of the most feared teams ever in Euroleague play, winning championships in 1989, 1990 and 1991. Will any other Euroleague-NBA crossover win three consecutive titles in both leagues?
His tournament MVP award at the 1990 World Championship for a legendary Yugoslavia team also put him firmly on the NBA radar. And by 1993, after two successful seasons in Italy with Benetton Treviso, Kukoc was on his way to Chicago, which had taken him 29th in the NBA draft three years earlier. Kukoc went on to win the league's Sixth Man Award in 1996, when the Bulls compiled an NBA record 72 wins.

David Remnick: Netanyahu's Attacks on Obama aid Neocon Strategy
via Lobe Log
The New Yorker's David Remnick explains why Benjamin Netanyahu's "high-handed way" of dealing with US presidents serves neoconservative strategy:
…In his first term as Prime Minister, in the nineties, Netanyahu used to behave in such a high-handed way with White House officials that Bill Clinton left meetings with him bewildered and bemused, wondering who, in their relationship, was the leader of a superpower. But Netanyahu's arrogance, in the guise of Churchillian prescience, has hardly receded over the years. Obama, in an attempt to cool the latest crisis, called Netanyahu last night and spent an hour talking with him.
Adding to the outrage is the fact that Netanyahu is performing not just for his allies on the Israeli right but for those he perceives as his allies on the American right, including those in the Jewish community. His performance is in the same neocon voice as the one adopted by the Romney campaign and in its opportunistic reaction to the attacks on the U.S. diplomatic outposts in Cairo and Benghazi, which left our Ambassador to Libya, Christopher Stevens, and three other consular employees dead. Unbelievably, the Republican National Committee chairman, Reince Priebus, took to Twitter and wrote, "Obama sympathizes with attackers in Egypt. Sad and pathetic." Romney himself accused Obama of sympathizing with the attackers in Libya.
The neocon strategy, in both Israel and the U.S., is to paint Obama as naïve in the extreme. In this, Netanyahu and Romney are united—and profoundly cynical.

In pre-Columbian Central and South America, the jaguar has long been a symbol of power and strength. Among the Andean cultures, a jaguar cult disseminated by the early Chavín culture became accepted over most of what is today Peru by 900 BC. The later Moche culture of Northern Peru used the jaguar as a symbol of power in many of their ceramics.
In Mesoamerica, the Olmec—an early and influential culture of the Gulf Coast region roughly contemporaneous with the Chavín—developed a distinct "were-jaguar" motif of sculptures and figurines showing stylised jaguars or humans with jaguar characteristics. In the later Maya civilization, the jaguar was believed to facilitate communication between the living and the dead and to protect the royal household. The Maya saw these powerful felines as their companions in the spiritual world, and a number of Maya rulers bore names that incorporated the Mayan word for jaguar (b'alam in many of the Mayan languages). The Aztec civilization shared this image of the jaguar as the representative of the ruler and as a warrior. The Aztecs formed an elite warrior class known as the Jaguar Knights. In Aztec mythology, the jaguar was considered to be the totem animal of the powerful deity Tezcatlipoca. [Wikipedia]
