FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — It's back to the waiting game for Tom Brady.
After making his case in a 10-hour hearing, Brady's fate is in the hands of Roger Goodell. Just when the NFL commissioner will announce his decision to uphold, reduce or eliminate Brady's four-game suspension in "Deflategate" is uncertain.
"I think that's going to be sooner rather than later," Marc Ganis, who is the president of SportsCorp consulting firm and has a close relationship with many league owners, said Wednesday. "One of the criticisms of this whole matter has been the way it's dragged on."
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — One day of practice wasn't enough for Patriots coach Bill Belichick to share his thoughts on new backup quarterback Tim Tebow.
Two days?
Not a lot to go on there, either, as Tebow spent much of Wednesday's session watching Tom Brady and Ryan Mallett run drills while he tried to absorb the new system he was thrust into when he signed with New England this week.
"We're not going to get into a minute-by-minute evaluation of a player," Belichick said. "I don't think that's the way to go, especially at this time of year."
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — Tim Tebow is back on the field with an NFL team — the New England Patriots.
The Patriots announced the signing of the former Jets quarterback on Tuesday, six weeks after he was cut by New York and just in time for the start of the three-day Patriots minicamp that runs through Thursday.
Tebow practiced with veteran New England starter Tom Brady and backup Ryan Mallett. The newest Patriot wore No. 5, not his familiar 15 — which belongs to Mallett — on his shorts and helmet. The QBs wore red jerseys without numbers.
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — So much for the Patriots' problems.
Rebounding from a rare slump, Tom Brady and his teammates earned a playoff bye with a 28-0 win over the Miami Dolphins on Sunday after two mediocre performances.
Stevan Ridley ran for two touchdowns as New England used a ball-control offense and a defense that racked up a season-high seven sacks.
Now, seeded second in the AFC, the Patriots have an extra week to savor the win and prepare for their postseason opener.
BOSTON — Larry Lucchino cracked open a fortune cookie from the Chinese dinner that Red Sox officials and John Farrell shared during their final discussion about Boston's managerial job.
The message inside drew a chuckle from the team's president.
"One that I opened after everyone left was quite interesting," Lucchino said Tuesday. "It said, 'you will solve a major problem that's very important to you.'"
BOSTON — Adored by generations of Red Sox fans, Johnny Pesky was so much a part of Boston baseball that the right-field foul pole at Fenway Park was named for him.
Pesky, who played, managed and served as a broadcaster for the Red Sox in a baseball career that lasted more than 60 years, died Monday. He was 92.
"The national pastime has lost one of its greatest ambassadors," baseball commissioner Bud Selig said. "Johnny Pesky, who led a great American life, was an embodiment of loyalty and goodwill for the Boston Red Sox and all of Major League Baseball."
LOUDON, N.H. — The best car was rolling toward victory — until its driver and crew chief couldn't agree on how many tires to change.
Kasey Kahne capitalized on that confusion between Denny Hamlin behind the wheel and Darian Grubb in the pits to win his second Sprint Cup race of the year and make a leap toward one of the 12 spots in the Chase that determines this year's NASCAR champion.
"For those guys to miscommunicate, that helped us a ton," Kahne said. "I'll take 'em any way we can."
LOUDON, N.H. — Ryan Truex remembers when the workers on his older brother's car would stuff him in a box used to hold dirty rags and tape up the hole on top.
Terrifying stuff at the time but an amusing memory now that he's racing himself.
"I was little, but still, I was scared," Truex said Saturday. "I didn't like it."
At least his tormentors left holes in the box to help him breathe.
INDIANAPOLIS — Bill Belichick gave clear instructions to his defensive unit: Let the runner score.
Playing the odds and inviting critics, the calculating coach of the New England Patriots told his players to get out of the way, open a wide path for Ahmad Bradshaw and give Tom Brady a chance to win the Super Bowl in the final 57 seconds.
Unusual? Certainly.
Crazy? Not at all.
The strategy failed and the New York Giants won 21-17 on Sunday night. But Belichick was certain it gave the Patriots their best opportunity.
INDIANAPOLIS — Rarely is Bill Belichick outcoached. Tom Brady almost never gets outplayed.
The brilliant coach on the sideline and his cerebral leader on the field — winners of three Super Bowls together — are still a notch above their NFL championship game opponent. That's why come Sunday the New England Patriots will beat the New York Giants, a title to be earned with brains as much as brawn.
And as a result of the discipline and preparation that Belichick has stressed in his 12 years as coach of this team.
INDIANAPOLIS — He plays offense. He's won at least two Super Bowls, and he was the MVP the last time the Patriots won the NFL championship.
Know who it is?
"I'd have to say Tom," New England safety Patrick Chung said Monday. Nope, not Tom Brady.
The same question seemed to stump running back BenJarvus Green-Ellis for a few seconds, too. Then he said it's really not important who got the honor in a game where the biggest reward is the Vince Lombardi Trophy that goes to the NFL champion.

"Suicide Squad" B-Roll Footage Reveals Harley Quinn's Classic Jester Costume
Film, Comic Books
Specifically, the ones populating the Seattle Antiquarian Book Fair last weekend.
I'd been wanting to go to this show for years, but somehow always managed to miss it… usually by losing the flyer with the date until the weekend after the thing had taken place. This year, I wasn't taking any chances — the same day I picked up the postcard advertising the event, I made it a point to check out their website and sign up for their e-mail updates. (As I get older, I am learning ways to circumvent my more habitual stupidities.)
It was held in the Seattle Center Exhibition Hall, a very nice space next to the Opera House.
A bit classier than the usual shows we attend, certainly, but our particular corner of the literary universe was nevertheless well represented. Lots of comics and pulps and other geek ephemera.
The only way to do a show like this is to approach it like you would a trip to Vegas — you take a set amount of cash with you and when it's gone, you're done.
Of course, we broke that particular rule about ten steps in. Garcia-Garst Books from Turlock, California, is a firm that specializes in juvenile books, particularly the intermediate-reader series books that Julie and I are both so fond of. Ms. Garst had all sorts of stuff — Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew from the 1930s, A.A. Milne, all the usual suspects… but what caught my eye were the Oz books on display.
They were 1930s-era hardcovers, in beautiful shape. Not first editions, but we don't have the money for that kind of collector snobbery. Julie loves the Oz books, and I do too.
Most of them were priced at $80 to $100. "These are so beautiful," Julie said. "The art is so amazing. And look, this one's just ninety dollars."
"That's our whole budget, it's all we have left. It would be the shortest book fair ever."
"Oh, I can take a card," Ms. Garst put in helpfully.
That did it. We pulled out the debit card and decided we would allow ourselves one of the dozen or so displayed there on the shelf. We finally fell for Tik-Tok of Oz, which alternates with The Scarecrow of Oz as my favorite of Baum's original fourteen books. She had it for $90, which is really a deal for an Oz book in such good condition. (I've seen water-damaged copies covered in kid's crayon for upwards of $150.) I chose it because I never see it anywhere.
Of course, we promptly saw four more on display that day in other booths. But ours was in the best shape of what we saw. What's more, only one was priced lower, at $70, and it had water damage.
"Okay, now really we stick to the budget," I cautioned.
And by and large we did. There was lots to look at, though.
I paused to chat for a moment with the proprietor of Fantasy Illustrated, a pulps-and-comics dealer from Mill Creek. Mostly I wanted to take a picture of his amazing pulp-magazine display.
Turned out he'd gotten into the pulp-fiction thing the same way I had, finding the Bantam Doc Savage paperbacks on a spinner rack in the sixties. He had some extraordinary pieces there, including one of the original Lone Ranger pulps, as well as several first edition Edgar Rice Burroughs and Narnia hardcovers.
I really had to work to tear myself away, even though pretty much every individual item on display cost more than I had in my pocket.
Truthfully a lot of the fair was like that for us. It was more like being in a bookscout's museum. Mostly what I ended up doing was taking pictures, because that was as close as I was going to get to most of this stuff.
There were lots of things on display from all areas of publishing. It wasn't just books. Julie was quite taken with the art prints and broadsides that some booths were selling, though we ended up not buying any.
Not everything was antique. I was interested to see some of the more modern rarities. Saratoga Books specializes in mysteries from the twenties to the seventies and their display stopped me for a while.
In particular, I was delighted to see a first edition of Ernest Tidyman's Shaft.
It's not generally known outside of book-nerd and mystery-nerd circles, but the Shaft films were based on a series of novels by Ernest Tidyman (a white guy, as it happens) who actually adapted his own book for the first film. The image of Richard Roundtree is so indelibly linked to the character that it never fails to amuse me that, in the books, John Shaft dislikes men with mustaches. He thinks they're dirty and cheap.
I almost bought it, but in the end I settled for a picture.
The items under glass were so astronomically out of range of our budget that all we could do was admire them. Robert Frost first editions for $17,500, that kind of thing.
There were even a couple in my wheelhouse.
Sherlock Holmes…
Famous cartoonists…
…all kinds of stuff. I have a pretty fair range of knowledge about rare books in general and mysteries, pulps, comics and juveniles in particular, but I was a dillettante compared to the folks manning the booths. I'd overhear dealers talking about stuff I thought *I* knew something about and feel like an ignorant hillbilly.
We did pretty well with not spending too much money. I'd talked myself into a first edition of Farmer's Doc Savage biography for $20, and Julie wavered and finally regretfully put back a slipcased collector's edition of Ellery Queen's The Roman Hat Mystery.
Really, we were almost starting to feel smug about our restraint… we were only twenty dollars or so over what we'd said we would allow ourselves.
Then we saw Art's booth, and I knew we were doomed.
I've been seeing Art Mallonee at shows for going on eighteen years now. He deals in comics, pulps, vintage paperbacks, series juvenile novels, posters… in other words, anything and everything I would be interested in at a show like this.
Art is a jovial fellow, a very nice man and delightful to talk to. However, his gift of salesmanship is so overpowering that if you see something you like, and Art sees you seeing it, well, you will buy it. It is inevitable.
It never feels like a hard sell. I don't know how he does it. I'll be telling myself, No, no, shouldn't spend the money, and then Art says, "Hey, for you, half price," and somehow suddenly I'm reaching for my wallet.
He was pleased to see us, and not just because we always spend money. Art is genuinely friendly. "Hey, how are you guys? Great to see you."
We chatted a little about the show, and Art said it was going well, despite the economy.
Julie giggled ruefully at that. "Well, we always spend all our money here," she said.
Art chuckled. "Well, that's great! Feel free to spend some more!"
He had a lot of good stuff, but then he always does. Not so many comics, though he had a long box out of really nice Lee-Kirby Marvel books from the sixties. Most of the books were things I didn't care about or already owned — Art looked mildly crestfallen when I told him I already owned the Travis McGee adventure The Turquoise Lament in hardcover.
"In the jacket? This one's still got the dust jacket."
"Yeah, mine's in the dust jacket too. That's a nice one there though." Then my eyes moved down to the next shelf and it was all over.
Art had a whole bunch of Whitman 'Authorized Edition' hardcover juveniles from the 1940s.
Regular readers will remember that I have a thing for Whitman juveniles, in particular the "TV Favorites" line from the fifties and sixties.
In recent months, I've stumbled across a few of the direct ancestors to that series, the Authorized Editions. In those books, a famous movie star is the protagonist of a completely fictional adventure. Usually a mystery in the Scooby-Doo tradition, where the old lighthouse keeper turns out to be a smuggler or something like that. ("And I'd have gotten away with it too, if not for that meddling Betty Grable!")
I'd picked up a couple at thrift stores with the vague idea of re-selling them, but I find them weirdly fascinating reading… especially since, in the stories themselves, the movie star isn't a star, or even involved in motion pictures or theater at all. They're just the protagonists of the stories. None of the other characters ever refer to the hero's fame or movies or anything.
Generally when you see them around they're either the Annette Funicello ones, the last gasp of the series in the early 1960s, or the cowboy ones, because the Gene Autry and Roy Rogers stories had the biggest sales and went back to press a couple of times, there are more of them around.
But Art had a bunch of the really weird, rare ones. Gregory Peck and the Red Box Enigma. Ann Sheridan and the Sign of the Sphinx. Ginger Rogers and the Riddle of the Scarlet Cloak.
With dust jackets intact, even.
"Damn, you never see these." I couldn't help myself.
Art grinned. He knew he had me. "Yeah, and with the dust jacket and everything! Hey, for you, half price. See, that's how I get your money, I've got the great deals."
I ended up with the Gregory Peck. I'd almost picked it up once before, in an antique mall in Kalama two years ago. I'd talked myself out of it then… but here it was again in a nicer edition and intact dust jacket. Clearly it was supposed to be mine.
And hey, it was half price.
Julie was still giggling at me when we walked on. I said, "Why don't you get YOURSELF something for once instead of just enabling me?"
"The Ellery Queen was nice," Julie admitted.
"You know it was the first one? The Roman Hat Mystery was the beginning of the series."
"Oh, okay, then we have to go back." Julie whirled, determined. I hid a smile. Julie gets to see that fevered acquisitive look on my face all the time, but I never get to see it on her.
It was still there, and fifty dollars later, it was ours.
Considering what I spend on books in a year, I certainly didn't begrudge her and anyway it was worth it just to see her so happy. She actually hugged it to her chest and let out a little gloating chuckle.
So that was our day at the fair. Next time, though, damn it, we are sticking to our budget. Really.
See you next week.
What I hate is when I have the money and I still pass things up. I could have gotten the BWS Storyteller slipcased 9 issue thing for 27 bucks once (actually, 2 different times, I think), and some issues of Help for less than 5 bucks.
I think I'm drooling looking at these pictures.
The other day I nearly knocked over someone at a local library, because I could see at the bottom of a free shelf of books an issue of Plop! It was the Best of DC Blue Ribbon issue (63). Not sure what it's "worth", but c'mon, Aragones, Wood, Ditko. How could it not be awesome? I actually have a couple of the regular issues of that comic too, and the covers to them are both filthy for some reason. It's weird that that title has covers that get extra schmutzed.
I second Travis: those are drool-worthy pictures. It's like visiting a book-nerd museum – but you can actually buy stuff, not cheaply, but still…
From your description, I think I'd have a lot of fun visiting one of Art Mallonee's booths at a show like this. I do love me some old books/magazines/comics, but cheapskate that I am, I'm always on the lookout for the dirt cheapest deal possible – I'd like to test my powers against his Jedi mind tricks.
Damn, those really are some awesome scores. There's nothing better than walking away from a slightly expensive day of book shopping but not having any buyer's regret.
I loved this post.
I can just see Eric Shanower going for all those Oz books in a heartbeat, y'know?
Next year I'm going with you!
I would have been hard pressed to not drop the $50 on Shaft.
I can just see Eric Shanower going for all those Oz books in a heartbeat, y'know?
I'd be honestly surprised if he didn't at least have the first fourteen Baum books already. We also quite like the Ruth Plumly Thompson Oz books but there are those fans that are Baum purists. Mr. Shanower might be one of those, though I doubt it.
The Oz books are not that hard to find, at least not until you get to the originals from the 1930s by Thompson and Neill. They're just very expen$ive if you want yours in good shape.
Eric Shanower shares one of the top Oz collections around. His partner David Maxine blogs about their stuff at the Hungry Tiger Press blog. Another good site for collectors is Bill Campbell's Oz Enthusiast. And of course there's the International Wizard of Oz Club.
I collected Oz books before I first got into comics, and afterwards, too. At my first big comics convention, about age thirteen, I found a (then rare) copy of The Shaggy Man of Oz and emptied my pockets to buy it. I left myself with little more than a dime to call my mother to come pick me up since I'd spent my subway money.
There is no way "Encyclopedia Gregory Peck and the Case of the Camera-Shy Dog" isn't awesome.
I have to admit, I would like to read one of those original Oz books. There's a unique charm in reading something in the form it first came out; it captures the essence of its times, especially the art.
Wait a minute, they made books about Gregory Peck having adventures!? Not the oddest thing I've ever head about, but considering how many great characters he played, I'm surprised the books weren't about him rather than them.
(Arrgh, now I can't help thinking of Gregory Peck teaming up with the Hardy Boys or such. )
Whoa, weird coincidence. I went to a local record show today, and they had a bunch of those Annette Funicello ones, including the one you show. For a buck a pop, but since they don't really hold any interest for me (and I'm not, you know, MADE of money), I didn't pick them up. Maybe I should have…
Actually, she's from my hometown area, I believe. From what I understand she was either born and/or grew up in the Endwell, NY area near Binghamton.
I'm sure you all care…
Gotta wonder what those DC Famous First Editions were going for. Overstreet always ran a warning about unscrupulous dealer taking off the cardstock cover and trying to sell the comic inside as an "original." Did anyone really fall for a mint tabloid sized Detective #27? Overstreet almost never quoted them as going for more than 3 bucks, except, I think, for the Shelly Moldoff Rudolph books and the Neal Adams illustrated "Superman vs. Muhammed Ali."
Oh, I forgot the caption showed them at $50 each. But the one is an Oz comic. I have the Superman #1 reprint, in fact, I think I carefully took off the cover, laminated it and replaced the staple, just to preserve it for reading.
I love books, and always wanted a collection of antiquarian books, but whenever I start one I end up selling it because I need the money for something else. It's just too expensive of a hobby. I did have a great collection of ER Burroughs books at one point (no dust jackets however). I managed to buy them here and there at great prices, but I had to sell them all to afford something else….who know's what.
That's the thing of it. If I have one of these books, I remember buying it, reading it and what I did with it, but I'll be darned if I remember what I did with the money after I sold it. Sometimes it may just be best to hold onto things that you really want, no matter their value, I suppose.
Those Oz books are pretty sweet. You got some great deals. Great post.
Greg, you found some great stuff, and I loved the write up. I felt like I was there with you in spirit. Thanks!

mih jeans
MiH Jeans Sample Sale
London based premium denim brand, MiH Jeans, will be hosting their bi-annual Friends & Family Sample Sale very soon! It's on the 5th & 6th November from 8am – 7:30pm at their Shepherds Bush address in London. There will be an entrance fee of ┬ú2 at the door, but you will be saving so much money on your new jeans! Definitely stop by and check it out! All of the details you need are in the flyer above.
Jessica Alba in MiH Marrakesh in Marle
It's been a while since we've seen Jessica Alba in a pair of flares! Remember when she used to wear them all the time? She tried out a new style, the MiH Marrakesh in Marle, which she wore with a graphic print tee and boots.
With the darker colors, this outfit has a really great fall vibe to it. However, I am not crazy about the shoes with it, they look a little too formal. I'd love to see her switch them out for a great wedge or bootie. You can buy MiH online from Shopbop.com.
Alyson Hannigan in MiH The Marrakesh Jeans
Photographed while meeting up with friends, Alyson Hannigan wore a pair of MiH The Marrakesh flares with a simple t shirt and wedges.
I am a huge fan of flares, so I always love seeing celebrities wearing them and mixing it up from skinny jeans. I like that Alyson styled these with a more casual, laid back vibe, but she still looks polished. You can buy MiH jeans online from Shopbop.com.
Weekend Going Out Look: MiH Marrakesh Kick Flares
For my weekend going out look, I wanted to do something chic and sophisticated, something that can take you from shopping in the day time to lunch with the girls. It's casual and easy, but pulled together and structured, so you will look perfect for the day.
I chose these MiH Marrakesh Kick Flares as we don't do enough flared denim it seems, well I don't personally, so I thought it would make a nice change! I paired them with this Only White Blazer which I layered over the Equipment Signature Blouse in yellow. I think this gives some colour to the look, but the jacket keeps it polished. For the shoes, I went with these Brian Atwood Wedges as the combination of flares and wedges is one I adore! I then chose this Michael Kors Tote to carry all of your essentials, a gold necklace to lengthen the neckline and then a tan belt to smarten the jeans up. I would then loosely tuck the shirt inside the jeans. I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

PHOENIX -- The next dunk thrown down by Amare Stoudemire, Shawn Marion or any other Sun you want to name will be the Suns' first dunk of the series.
That's how deeply Phoenix has been suffocated by its desert drought against San Antonio.
The Suns have yet to win a single home playoff game against the San Antonio Spurs in the Steve Nash era, but they reached new depths Sunday. In the Game 1 loss that extended that dry spell to 0-4, Phoenix didn't manage a single slam, either.
Mark that down as yet another illustration of the Spurs' unrivaled ability to prevent the Suns from being who they are against everyone else.
The modern game's answer to Showtime, remember?
It's typically foolish to overreact to one game in the second round, but that's the thing. It's not just one game when you're talking Suns and Spurs. A pattern has been established over the last three years, which is why Game 1, for confidence reasons, was a virtual must-win for the Suns.
When it comes to Tuesday night's Game 2, go ahead and scratch virtual.
It's such a must from a Phoenix perspective -- and for the neutrals out there counting on this series to be as good as promised -- that even Tim Duncan couldn't stifle the urge to jab the Suns about the stakes.
"If we put these guys down 2-0, going back to our house, it puts some incredible pressure on them," Duncan says.
"I think there's some incredible pressure anyway with us up 1-0."
No matter how obvious such declarations seem, you never expect to hear Duncan pile on the hyperbole. But he's a rather giddy Timmy these days, breaking into a wider-than-usual grin when someone asked him to react to the Dallas Mavericks' first-round exit and sounding no less pleased that the Suns largely single-teamed him in the series opener.
The Suns are indeed planning to change their Duncan strategy somewhat by inserting Kurt Thomas into the starting lineup in place of James Jones, with Thomas expected to start on Duncan to spare Stoudemire from early foul trouble.
What Phoenix really needs, though, is better defense on the other Spurs if they're going to guard Duncan straight-up. TD is supposed to produce a 33-point, 16-rebound stat line when he's going one-on-one, no matter who's trying to defend him. The problem is Tony Parker adding 31 points to Duncan's total and Michael Finley tacking on 19.
"It's almost Kobe-ish," Suns swingman Raja Bell said.
You can get away with getting shredded by a Duncan or Kobe Bryant, Bell went on to explain, if you're "limiting other people's opportunities."
Another potential adjustment from Phoenix is giving Bell an opportunity or two to chase Parker around. Neither Marion's length nor Leandro Barbosa's speed bothered Parker in the opener and ditto for the Suns' willingness to give the Frenchman as many jumpers as he wanted. Of Parker's 14 field goals, only three were layups. Seven of his baskets were jumpers in the 20-foot range.
The Suns' frustrated leaders, mind you, are banking on an attitude adjustment more than anything. Back in 2005, when Joe Johnson couldn't play because of a broken face, Phoenix didn't have nearly as much firepower and could rationalize losing Games 1 and 2 at home despite taking leads into the fourth quarter both times. But now that they're 4-12 overall against the Spurs since Nash rejoined them for the 2004-05 season, having surrendered their home-court advantage so quickly again, Mike D'Antoni and Nash are openly voicing their frustrations.
Nash didn't back off Monday, publicly questioning the Suns' hunger/effort/fire for the second successive day, and D'Antoni has since echoed some of those concerns. Yet I can't help but wonder if the Suns are lacking in those categories because they're suffering most from self-belief issues.
From press row, it didn't look as though Stoudemire and Barbosa conspired to shoot a combined 2-for-13 in the fourth quarter of Game 1 because they didn't want it badly enough. The Suns, when San Antonio is on the other side, simply don't share D'Antoni and Nash's confidence that -- healthier than they've ever been in the Nash era apart from their QB's stitched-up nose -- they're finally ready to overcome their deficits in the size, chemistry and championship know-how departments to topple the Spurs.
"This is the toughest matchup for us," Nash says. "They've got more experience than us. They've got size [and] sort of a collective toughness you have to deal with."
Said D'Antoni: "I hate to say this, and I hope it [comes out] the right way. I think we have more talent than they do. I think that we're individually better."
"Collectively," D'Antoni continued, "they're better right now."
Can that change over the course of seven games? If Stoudemire can beat microfracture surgery in such a short span, maybe anything really is possible.
Then again
If the Suns can't get Game 2, it's probably not even a question worth asking.
D'Antoni's post-practice address to his team won't exactly hush the growing belief that the Nash-Stoudemire-Marion triumvirate will be dunked and dismantled if the Suns can't win this series.
Or at least make it a series.
Said D'Antoni: "I told them today, 'This could be your only chance in life to be a champion.'"

The Death of Local Co-op
So, I sit here, as a Gamer perturbed.
Mainly because one of the greatest things in video game history is slowly dying a slow and painful death.
I am talking about the oft-shunned local co-op. It's all about being online 24/7, always connected to the internet, and playing online.
As a single gamer, it is not so much the participation of a significant other that is a problem. However, when I was dating my last girlfriend, we did indeed both enjoy video games, and it becomes hard for me, as a more serious gamer to watch someone else play video games, unless I am doing something else, re: reading, playing a different format, using the laptop, etc, etc.
At the moment, it is not the lack of significant other that raises the problem then, it is the family. Living by myself, my father comes over to visit me a lot (sometimes too much, but that's a whole 'nother story). I have worked hard all of my life to ensure that he becomes a gamer. Since the days of my N64 and getting him to play Mario kart and Mario 64, I have worked to make sure that me and him both play games so that we can enjoy our time together that little bit more, rather than have these times become tedious.
Way back when on the original Xbox, I recommended he play splinter cell, as I was doing the same, so, while I was at school/college, he would play, then I would play when I returned home, and then we could help each other a lot. That approach to single player helped us both a lot, with me helping him out on bosses and things he found himself stuck on, and if I was confused or stuck on a level he would appropriately tell me how he did it.
This worked fine when I was living with him, and sharing one console / games. Now however, Moving out and living by myself, he does not own the current generation of platforms (except a Wii (le doh!)). And even the games that he plays and enjoys on that he has lent from me, as I have bought the more "core" games for the system. Even with my other friends, this continues to be a problem, as my "real life" friends, I find, don't own the same system as me. My best friend is a proud PS3 owner, where I find myself sticking with the 360, as I currently cannot afford a PS3. As for my "internet" friends, I very rarely find anything that we can play together as we often have different tastes. (Hence joining 1-up and the hope I can get more Multiplayers with my friends.) So, my friends come over and we wanna play some games, or my dad is over and rather than sit there and me watch him or vice versa, we wanna play together, how the HELL do we do that? And, if I'm honest, it is mainly the playing with my dad that is a problem.
Now, the simple solution to this is to find games that include a local co-op mode, and play these. But there is a BIG problem.
Where are they all?
Now, don't get me wrong, there are some epically good games out there that have a Local co-op mode, but just.... don't work.
Fable II, this game has a co-op mode, but it does not work well at all. Not only is it reported as glitchy to all kinds of hell, but just doesn't feel great to play local co-op IMO.
Gears of war 1, 2, Halo3. All games I own, all games I really like to play, but trying to get my dad (a 50-year old man, to understand the mechanics takes a LONG time, and even worse, trying to go for achievements (legendary difficulty) with him is also a bit of a bother, as while he is good, he's not great, as often my directions of "get the guy to your left" can lead to him doing a full 270 degree spin to the right before he sees the person.
Left 4 Dead 1, 2 Again, I own the first one, but not the second. Mainly because the AI is stupid and I never get to play the first one with my friends. I'm a bit of an Achievement whore, and I wanna finish of the first before moving onto the second. Ideally, I would love to have my dad sitting here with me while I play with 2 more internet peoples, and get the achievements, but it's a huge bother to have 2 people signed in, only one with Gold membership, and a guest, where the guest has no fecking clue what the people are saying over voice chat. Then they relay stuff to me, I say it to dad, he has a question, then I relay that back, it's just so not a good idea. Why doesn't the guest feature support headsets?
Crackdown, Saints row 2, and I'm sure countless others have "system link co-op" which is all great and all, but I don't have that many TV's or 360's in my flat. And I will admit I do feel horribly mislead by that stupid green logo on the back of the box stating it has local co-op. And yeah, it is quibbling over a small detail on the damn game, but still, when I buy a game cause I think ill like it and see that I think "I can play that with dad at the same time" only to be really disappointed when it turns out that I can't play it with dad at the same time at all.
I can understand why these games don't support local co-op, such is the power and graphics needed to play the things single player, that they haven't had time or simply can't put a split screen mode into the game, due to technical constraints. But I do wish they would be a lot clearer on the damn boxes of the games what exactly the green co-op1-2 logo means.
There have been some amazing games that have come out with local co-op being used superbly. Great games where the single player experience is not detracted from by the inclusion of co-op, and in fact, the game is improved immeasurably by said mode.
Rainbow Six Vegas 1+2, a fine single player, and live multiplayer experience. And on local co-op, it just gets better as you play it. A great action game where it can be played by people in the same room as you.
Perfect Dark Zero; Another FPS, but one that is considerably more forgiving than Halo or Gears on the higher difficulties. One that both I and my gamerdad can play together.
Rock Band does local multiplayer really well too, however, it does become a problem when I play on expert and dad struggles on any difficulty setting, but still, a good local co-op for when my buddies are chilling out and playing together. (oh buddies, where art thou?)
PES6; a football game? In local co-op, surely not. Yep. The reason why I have put this in here? Simply, because the game supports local co-op achievements. I picked up PES2008 after fully completing PES6 with my dad, hoping for more of the same, only to find out they have taken out support for local co-op achievements. So I haven't finished it, haven't played it in ages, and thus only include PES6 in the list.
So, this is why, with the imminent release of LEGO Harry potter years 1-4 I couldn't be more excited. Why is that? Because the LEGO games offer something so few games do these days. A very good, if not excellent, local co-op mode. The LEGO games have perfected the art of local co-op in my humble English opinion. From Star Wars, to Batman, to Indiana Jones, all recognisable brands and series, all done in a simple style, but the most important thing? The games are genuinely FUN to play. Be that solo or local co-op, the games are GREAT fun, and the co-op mode has been done superbly. Yeah, the same screen issues of the series can be a bit iffy sometimes, with either dad dragging me off a cliff or vice versa, but the fact that the games support local co-op, and achievements in that mode. The fact that you have the story missions and collectables means multiple playthroughs, and the oh so simple puzzles and me and dad both overthink and end up getting stuck because of the simplest issues.
To improve upon this even more, LEGO Indiana Jones 2 takes the local co-op and runs with the idea, making it reactive split screen. If you're near your fellow LEGO colleague you are simply on the same big, single screen. However, should you move away, a split appears which rotates around the screen to let you know where your friend is. So if you are top right of an area, and they are bottom left, the split with be top left corner to bottom right. Or if you are directly above the split will be left to right horizontal. I'm not sure I like the change in hub worlds, treasure levels and things like that when it comes to core gameplay, but the multiplayer has been improved immeasurably.
It is finally a time when me and my dad, can sit there, and thoroughly enjoy our time shared, as gamers, as achievement whores, as father and son.
So 1-up users, got any good local co-op games I can play? (we're mainly 360 gamers >.<)

Our application heavilly relies on javascript (jQuery). So there are lots of 'application/json' requests.
We've been struggling with dates for some time, but despite our efforts we couldn't figure out how to deal with it in ASP.NET MVC application.
Here what we want:
- Serialize/deserialize DateTime objects on the server side (preferably with DateTimeKind.Utc).
- Work with Date object on the client side. Work with it in UTC. Format dates somehow.
Here are problems:
Date client object is always with end-user's timezone.
JSON.stringify(new Date())automatically does a shift.
Javascript: JSON Strigify changes time of date because of UTC!
This question helper a bit, but we need to remember to shift dates before sending it to the server. We also need to remember that we need a shift once we do
new Date('2012-10-19T10:23:47.778Z')We know that JSON is not aware of dates, but it would be nice to have analogue of JSON.parse that would parse dates.
We use Newton Json.net to serialize/deserialize dates, but it does it in DateTimeKind.Unspecified
Is there an elegant way to work with dates both on the server and client? We need it as a cross-cutting thing in the whole application.
I had to put it more clearly. In our application we don't need take into account client time zones since we operate only with dates.
So if server returns
2012-10-19T10:23:47.778Z', we need Date object:
Fri Oct 19 2012 10:23:47 GMT+0300 (Kaliningrad Standard Time)
Fri Oct 19 2012 13:23:47 GMT+0300 (Kaliningrad Standard Time) (Date is shifted)

One of the often repeated criticisms of social media is that it tends to be glib and shallow. That's a simplification, but I think it has some truth to it — when I'm on a site like Twitter, I'm usually looking for (and sharing) jokes, tidbits of news, and random observations.
Jonathan Gheller is hoping to go in the opposite direction with a new site called Storylane, which is all about highlighting content that's more sincere and in-depth. That content can take the form of text, images, or audio. For example, if you go to Gheller's profile, you can find stories about the crucial investor in his previous startup Fashmatch, or recounting the happiest moment of his life.

Name suppression for the famous rocker lapsed at Tauranga
District Court this afternoon, where Rudd was expected to
defend a charge that he made a misleading statement when he
applied for a Class 2 medical certificate.
Rudd is accused of lying about his previous drug use to
obtain the certificate, which was required to enable him to
renew his pilot's licence.
He is defending the Civil Aviation charge at a judge-alone
The charge stems from an allegation that the man failed to
declare his previous drug use and discharge without
conviction in relation to cannabis possession.
Rudd has admitted a charge that between August 2012 and April
2013 he failed to maintain an accurate record in a pilot's
log book.

It's nice to be working with natural media again — it's been 15 years since I picked up a brush for anything. Excited to see where this all goes.
Also: not entirely sold on the pen-on-watercolor style — I've mixed these in Photoshop, to play with the original character I've drawn in Illustrator, then printed, traced, and scanned back in.
Will be doing a few more watercolor washes in different colors and densities to see what I come up with.

There`s a lot going on, and you tend to get frustrated when you don`t know exactly what`s expected of you. If the person giving you the directions or instructions isn`t being clear about what your exact role should be, don`t hesitate to speak up and let them know that you don`t understand what they`re telling you. The worst thing you can do is start something and then have to quit because you don`t really know what you`re supposed to be doing. It`s much better to run the risk of looking a bit naive in the beginning rather than end up feeling entirely clueless.
You`re in the mood to do something slightly -- or maybe even totally -- out of character, and your escapades are a lot more fun when you have a partner in crime. If you decide to do something really off the wall, your best friend is a great person to take along to witness your silliness. Complete strangers might stare at you, but someone who knows you well will realize that although this is very rare behavior for you, it`s great fun to watch. Either way, any potential embarrassment is a risk that you`re willing to take.
You usually know exactly what to say, but for some reason, your words are getting all twisted and tangled as they come out of your mouth right now. Saying the wrong thing at the wrong time is bad enough at home or when you`re among friends and family, but if you put your foot in your mouth in a professional environment, it could mean big trouble. Make it a rule not to open your mouth unless you know exactly what`s going to come out of it, Gemini. If you can manage to stick to this resolve, you`ll save yourself a lot of back-pedaling and apologizing.
Your mind is in the clouds, which makes it difficult to concentrate on anything that is too complex or has a lot of variables. Leave the decision-making for the people who can focus on the details while you pencil in some time for daydreaming. There`s absolutely nothing wrong with t aking a little break from time to time, especially since you`ve worked so hard in the past. If your friends, co-workers or family members refuse to pick up some of the slack, it might be time to remind them how many times you`ve done the same for them.
Contrary to what people might tell you, this isn`t a good time to put your money where your mouth is. There are a lot of people trying to convince you to invest or spend your money on unworthy causes, Leo, and it`s in your best interests to just say no. If you do find something that you want to purchase or a cause you want to support, be sure to check out all of the details of the potential transaction before you actually go through with it. There are a lot of unscrupulous people out there, but you are smarter than to let yourself be duped by them.
What you want to do and what you can actually get done are two very different things. On the one hand, you have a lot of energy and enthusiasm, but on the other hand, you`ve probably bitten off way more than you can chew at the moment. Your willingness to be of service to others is extremely admirable, but maybe you should concentrate on what`s on your own agenda at the moment. If the details of a task you`re supposed to perform or a problem you need to solve are sketchy, make sure you do as much investigating as necessary to get a clearer picture.
Your flexibility is your greatest asset. While other people spend their time complaining about the change of pace, you welcome it with open arms. Of course, if you had it your way, everything would go according to plan, but right now, you take on more of a `when life gives you lemons, make lemonade` attitude than most people do. Your boss or parents might not think that you can possibly accomplish everything that you set out to do today, but as long as you keep your head down, you should be able to make sufficient -- and maybe even impressive -- progress.
Don`t hesitate to surprise your friends or family with an aspect of your personality that they rarely -- if ever -- get to see. If you`re usually quiet and studious, let your creative, outgoing side out for a little fun. If you tend to approach life with a lackadaisical attitude, this is a good time to go about your daily tasks in a more serious way. This day is all about making changes, catching people off guard and making a good impression in the process. And who knows -- you may even surprise yourself with what you`re capable of.
Everyone else seems to be flying past you at the speed of light, but you`ve got enough work just getting your feet off the ground. Try not to monitor your progress by comparing it to that of the people around you, Sagittarius. Set some personal goals and then work on attaining them step by step rather than trying to keep up with a friend`s or co-worker`s progress. Although it might be tempting to leap before you look, you`ll have much
Use your creativity to your advantage. Your competitors probably won`t see the same possibilities that you do even though you`re looking at exactly the same thing, which gives you the edge over them. If you get the opportunity to merge one of your hobbies with your career, by all means take it. Whether it`s a knack for art, music or a similar creative talent, this is your time to capitalize on whatever you have to offer the world. Once you`re able to put your shyness aside, you`ll learn to really love the sound of applause.
Before going off to spend large sums of money, you may want to double-check the transactions in your checkbook over the last few days. Numbers, especially those linked to finances, can be very misleading for you right now, so it might be in your best interest to have your calculations rechecked by someone who is impartial to your financial situation. Joining assets with a friend or business partner might work out to your advantage, but don`t sign anything until you`re positive about the final sum. It`s easy to be misled when you want something bad enough.
The time has come to let go of your selflessness and really spoil yourself. Take a good look at your wish list and then do everything in your power to make one of your personal dreams come true. You really have boundless energy today, which should help you accomplish pretty much everything you set out do to. If you still have some responsibilities looming in the background, try to recruit some help so that you can get them out of the way early -- and then spend the rest of the day indulging your every whim!

IT WOULD TAKE one into too controversial a field to attempt to cover all the allergic manifestations of the central nervous system which might be attributed to the hypersensitive state. I shall, therefore, omit from consideration migraine, histamine cephalalgia, Ménière's syndrome, epilepsy and certain convulsions of infancy, which have all been charged to allergy by one or another investigator.
My remarks will be confined to an analysis of the cerebrospinal effects occurring in serum sickness and from serum allergy1. The allergic manifestations resulting from the parenteral injection of foreign serum lend themselves to accurate appraisal. The time of entrance of the otherwise innocuous substance can always be ascertained; the material is not complicated, nor does it possess primary toxicity when properly prepared.
Consideration of allergic encephalopathies from smallpox or rabies vaccines, drugs and antibiotic substances is somewhat complicated because of the primary toxicity of drug and antibiotic substances on

Didn't even read the article, but crazy. The original poster didn't ask for CrossFit opinions...bashing or love. They asked for suggestions on strength training in a group dynamic.
Oh please, murder is a totally different topic. Now you're just being silly.
I'm not advocating for or against CrossFit here, but you'll find positive feedback as well.
What a warm and friendly response. I feel so welcome.
Y'all need to re-read the original post. It didn't ask for opinions, positive or negative, on CrossFit yet they all came flying out the window.
Just what I'm talking about. If you look at my initial response you'll see that it was actually constructive and tried to provide help. It didn't make smarmy remarks like some others.
Wow, I've read very little constructive feedback here. Mostly a bunch of sour retorts. Kind of discourages me from participating in these forums.
You might want to check out different CrossFit boxes for a different vibe. All of them are different...some more laid back without that militaristic style of instruction.
Sure thing...shoot me a message if you have any other questions or maybe wanna meetup for some activity. A little about me...

Any others here that follow the CFE training? After years of doing normal long slow distance training with CrossFit sprinkled in I made the switch this year. So far I'm digging the results I'm seeing.
Yes you said no CrossFit, but take a look at the website for CrossFit Sanitas. I don't have first hand experience there but they are billing themselves as kind of a cross between a standard gym and a...
Welcome to the revolution. Like you I'm and avid trail runner and road cyclist. I have many trail races and one ultra under my belt. This season I've been training primarily with CrossFit Endurance...
Welcome to the primal lifestyle...if you slip don't dwell on it, push it behind you and move forward with new resolve. It takes time to break some of those old habits.
I have some specifics for an app that I'm looking for...I don't want track calories or measure or weight food; been there and done that...doesn't work. Here's what I want to track, rated on a sliding...
Crust is the only non-primal thing? Um, I don't think so. Where's the fruit? You mean the candied cherry thingies?
4 cups quick oatmeal (I used Quaker Quick-1Minute)
3/4 cup creamy peanut butter*...
I'm a distance trail runner and finishing week 4 being primal as well. It was tough for the first two plus weeks but I started clicking during week 3. I'm training for a 50k and am now starting to...
I love them, but my family hates me a few hours after I've eaten them... :)
Check out Lose It! (www.loseit.com), it's my site and app of choice.
Putting capers in with the salmon, cream cheese and egg combo is great too.
Did a little bit of CrossFit, "Dirty Deeds" 21-15-9: Deadlift, Kettlebell Swings.
Hey Kate, I'm a new PB'er as well, some friends and I just decided today in fact to sign up for the Warrior Dash in Copper...looks like a blast!
Supposed to hit 50 here today, I'm gonna head down to the dog park later with the mutts, run around and have some fun.
Dude, I'm a frequent work traveler as well and often go into those morning meetings that have a pile of danishes, muffins and bagels. I'm new to this, but I'm already planning on, well, planning...
