We had a 3 bedroom lockoff on the 3rd floor with no elevator. We knew this side of the resort had no elevators from past visits, so no big deal to us. The 3 bdr is very spacious, plenty of room for everyone; full kitchen with dish soap, detergent - but never salt and pepper?! Washer and dryer always come in handy, as does the 2nd and 3rd bathrooms!
Bedrooms are large, except for the 2nd in the 2 bdr -- a single bed, though amenities are great there - flat screen tv, full closet, chair. Lockoff unit is like a large hotel room, jacuzzi is beside the bed, but what does that matter? Microwave, flat screen tv, coffee maker with Starbucks packets, shower and veranda.... all you really need.
Overall, the unit and grounds are clean, well taken care of accessible. Others have references teh Grand Villas; my understanding is that Diamond has taken over the Villas, and Cypress Pointe Resort is still being managed by their own company (we booked early, before the transition had taken place, so we were in Cypress Pointe). We asked for and happily received a tour of the Villas by a very friendly and engaging security gentleman. The units are more modern and there are elevators, but not as nice pools. We were very pleased to stay at Cypress Pointe again -- and will be in the future if that happens.
Both are in an area where you can walk to Winn-Dixie, Walgreens, and numerous restaurants. Downtown Disney is a short and easy 5 minute drive and the parks are close too. Accessing the I-4 is simple and easy, so going to other parks or Amway Center (the Magic!) is simple and fast.
Another great vacation in Orlando, in large part due to our accommodations!

In the following interview, Rodriguez discusses American culture, cultural assimilation, and his growing pessimism towards multiculturalism.
Essayist Richard Rodriguez, best known for his 1982 book Hunger of Memory: The Education of Richard Rodriguez, is usually classified as an Iconoclastic Mexican-American writer with little patience for political correctness. The description is accurate but incomplete. He is, more broadly, a student of America—a subtle and perceptive observer of the tension between individual and community, self and culture, optimism and pessimism, in contemporary life. He is also deeply ambivalent, especially in his more-recent work, including last year's Days of Obligation: An Argument with My Mexican Father. In that book, Rodriguez struggles with the loss of optimism, both his and California's, since...

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. Confident one minute, cautious the next. Joe Paterno just doesn't have a good read yet on his Penn State Nittany Lions.
One of the biggest tests to determine whether No. 10 Penn State is Big Ten title-material comes Saturday with a trip to the Big House to play Michigan.
"I've always said you never known how good a football team you have until you have to do things under a lot of pressure," Paterno said Tuesday. "I think we're still in a stage of finding out how good we are."
The Nittany Lions (3-0) have rolled to three lopsided wins so far, outscoring opponents 135-34. They haven't been tested yet, though last week's 45-24 win over Buffalo wasn't as easy as the final score may make it appear.
The defense, while solid overall, gave ground in the second half with the Bulls trying to rally from a four-touchdown deficit, often against second-teamers.
Several Nittany Lions said the team may have lacked focus in the second half, something linebacker Sean Lee said the team hopes to guard against Saturday.
"We talked about how we need to play with intensity the whole game, especially against the Michigan offense," he said.
Justin King, who developed a reputation last year as a shutdown corner after his play against Ohio State's Ted Ginn Jr., and Tennessee's Robert Mechem, was burned a couple times by comparatively unknown Buffalo receivers like Naaman Roosevelt.
"I know my faults. Those games are going to come. You got to take them with the good ones," King said Tuesday when asked about criticism of his performance last weekend. "That's the life of a cornerback. I could care less what people say."
Now, King figures to draw a much tougher assignment on Saturday in Michigan's Mario Manningham, who missed last year's game against Penn State because of injury.
Regardless of whether it's injured senior Chad Henne or freshman quarterback Ryan Mallett throwing the ball for the Wolverines, there will be no problems with focus in Ann Arbor, King said.
"You have to gear up for them, or you'll get embarrassed," King said.
Michigan's losses to Appalachian State and No. 13 Oregon? Ancient history, said the 80-year-old Paterno, who stayed in form Tuesday in shying away from giving his foe any bulletin-board material.
Paterno is also worried about how well his top-ranked rush defense (17.7 yards per game) will handle one of the country's best tailbacks, Michigan's Mike Hart (167.3 yards per game, five TDs).
As for Penn State's tailback situation, Austin Scott is listed as the starter despite being replaced last week by Rodney Kinlaw following two fumbles against Buffalo. Kinlaw ran for 129 yards and a touchdown against the Bulls, but Paterno said both backs will play at Michigan.
JoePa might need both of them if he hopes to end an eight-game losing streak to the Wolverines. The Nittany Lions have played Michigan tight the last two games at the Big House, a 27-24 overtime loss in 2002, and a 27-25 defeat two years ago following a Henne-to-Manningham 10-yard TD pass as time expired.
Wideout Deon Butler, who played in that 2005 game as a freshman, said Penn State's veteran receivers learned a lot from that game, despite the loss.
"I don't think we have a lot of pressure on our shoulders. We've been out there when it's been its rowdiest," Butler said. "It's not a super overwhelming place to play at so, I think ... when the ball is in the air, we'll be ready to make plays."

Golf tournament raked in the cashSeptember 04,2013Golf tournament
raked in the cash
KILLINGTON The 2013 Killington Junior Golf Tournament contributed an estimated $225,000 to the town economy during a five-day period, according to the American Junior Golf Association.
The AJGA-sanctioned tournament took place June 24-27 at the Green Mountain National Golf Course. The 143-player field featured the top junior golfers from 18 states, Canada and New Zealand.
According to the AJGA report, this years tournament brought more than 2,000 people to town, boosting local hotel and restaurant business during a slow tourism period for the town.
The AJGA based its estimates on information received from participants at tournament registration.
Town officials are working on a deal to bring the event back in 2014.
The tournament has provided a needed boost to rooms, meals and retail revenue during a historically quiet time, said Town Manager Seth Webb.MORE IN This Just In

"A kung fu technique so lethal they named the movie after it!"
From the Shaw Brothers studios comes a late-'70s chopsocky cheesefest complete with secret attacks, elbow knives, and enough melodrama to power a community theater production of Hamlet.
Facts of the Case The legendary kung fu master Li Pai (Dick Wei) has spent years perfecting the super-deadly finishing move, "The Shaolin Hand Lock." He was teaching the technique to his two children; that is, until he's assassinated by a mysterious man with knifes hidden in the elbows of his overcoat! His son, Li Cheng-ying (David Chiang), vows to get revenge on the man behind his father's death: evil philanthropist and kung-fu master Ling Hao (Lieh Lo)!
Shaolin Hand Lock is a nice primer for just about every stereotype of low-budget kung fu films. Your familiarity with, and tolerance of, the genre will likely determine how you view this entry. As someone who hasn't seen too many of these Shaw Brothers films, I found this over-the-top revenge tale to be pretty darn enjoyable.
First, let's speak of the film's titular finishing move: the Shaolin Hand Lock. It's basically a professional wrestling sleeper hold that can only be administered by jumping over a bad guy, and can only be countered by two sharp jabs to the gut (unless the administer of the hand lock is wearing a metal-plated vest, then you're out of luck). It's a subtle finishing move, and probably not one worth naming a film after, but the seriousness with which the movie treats the hand lock makes it seem as cool as Scorpion's grappling hook. Far better are the villain's secret knives, which slide out of his jacket's elbows just in time to cut you something fierce.
Shaolin Hand Lock employs these vicious techniques and finishing moves to their fullest extent. A fight breaks out every couple of scenes, and while each brawl feels achingly similar to the previous they're always good for some mindless kicks and thwaps. You could probably go in the other room and make yourself a sandwich, and just wait until you hear the patented, and loud, punching sounds start. There are only about three kinds of punching sounds in the movie, which causes each fight to trigger a Pavlovian sense of interest. They're pretty fun to watch.
You won't really need to watch this thing for the plot. The first act is a genuinely engaging story about Cheng-ying's quest to avenge his father's death by becoming his enemy's bodyguard. But around the time the flashbacks start, and we see "young" Ling Hao and Li Pai (which means the same actors sans baby powder in their hair), the plot takes a needlessly melodramatic twist. Without giving anything away, let's just say the movie becomes more like Days of Our Lives with kicking. It circles itself a couple of times, finding more reasons for action, before finally arriving at the final standoff.
The film's climactic battle, set up in a warehouse tailored for a sweet fight, is enjoyable enough but offers little in the way of a conclusion. The bad guy dies (is that even a spoiler?) and the film ends. I guess they figured you wouldn't be interested if there weren't any other fights.
I did enjoy Shaolin Hand Lock for what it was: a cheesy kung fu flick from the '70s. It's got some entertaining fight scenes, and some nice dramatic flourishes by director Meng Hua Ho (The Mighty Peking Man). Plus, it's hard to beat elbow-knives. Just don't go into this expecting anything unique or interesting story-wise.
This release, part of the Hong Kong Connection series, is barren in terms of special features, but offers up a solid film transfer. The colors are vibrant and the picture is fairly sharp. Any problems lie in the audio: a muffled English stereo dub and Mandarin mono. The music and sound effects are often way louder than the dialogue, and the poor quality of the English dub means that subtitles are a necessity.
Unlike the move that is so dangerous they named the film after it, Shaolin Hand Lock won't be putting you to sleep any time soon. It's an action-packed, if somewhat generic, chopsocky film with plenty of sweet fight scenes and goofy sound effects. For fans of the genre, it's worth renting.
Nothing can counter my Guilty Verdict!

'Maleficent': The feminist retelling of a Disney villain
Disney used to bank on its typical plot driver of romantic love overcoming any and all obstacles but announced in 2010 that it would say goodbye to fairy tales in favor of gaining "wider appeal."
What audiences got instead of stereotypical damsels in distress were protagonists like Elsa of "Frozen" and Merida of "Brave": girls who might be princesses but stray far from the typical fairy-tale script.
"(The 'Frozen' characters) are significant departures from tradition in a film that shakes up the hyper-romantic 'princess' formula that has stood Disney in good stead for decades and that has grown stale," Stephanie Holden wrote in the New York Times.
"Frozen" and "Brave" have no clear-cut villains, for example. Rather, the conflict of the films comes from their central characters' struggle to compromise between what they want and what they're told is best for them. In Merida's case, the conflict is avoiding an arranged marriage; for Elsa, it's overcoming adversity to embrace who she is.
When Merida bristled at the idea of an arranged marriage in "Brave" and was a talented archer and tomboy, some critics questioned whether the redheaded heroine could be gay.
However, the Atlantic's Chris Heller applauded "Brave" not as a pro-gay movie, but as a compassionate film that broke from Disney's princess tradition of love plus marriage equals the ultimate happy ending.
"It's about the compassion it takes to, as Merida and Elinor put it, 'break tradition,' to change both society's rules and the prejudices within ones' own mind," Heller wrote.
'Frozen' gender roles?
Newer films like "Frozen" and "Brave" aren't above criticism or disappointment from viewers expecting a more complete departure from traditional gender roles.
Slate critic Dana Stevens wrote on the heels of "Frozen's" release that she worried about the effect one scene in particular would have on her young daughter: the moment when Elsa sings "Let it Go" and turns from a conservatively dressed princess to a spruced-up ice queen.
"By the time she sashays out onto that balcony to greet the dawn, Elsa is clad in a slinky, slit-to-the-thigh dress with a transparent snowflake-patterned train and a pair of silver-white high heels, her braid shaken loose and switched over one shoulder in what's subtly, but unmistakably, a gesture of come-hither bad-girl seduction," Stevens wrote. "I'm not the only one who feels a familiar sense of deflation every time that pulse-racing song culminates in a vision of female self-actualization as narrow and horizon-diminishing as a makeover."
While praising "Frozen" as a digression from the princess standard, Holden also argued that Elsa and company could have gone further in the interest of gender equality.
"Its princesses may gaze at a glass ceiling, but most are not ready to shatter it," Holden wrote.
Will a 21st-century Maleficent do what the iconic Elsa could not? Yes, says Mandell, and that could also translate into a bigger audience for Disney.
"This is women doing their own thing and taking their power back. Because it's dark and there are battle scenes, I think little boys will watch it also," Mandell said. "It sends an important message to boys: Women are equal and powerful, too."

Stranger on the Third Floor is a 1940 film noir, starring Peter Lorre and released by RKO Radio Pictures. The film was directed by Boris Ingster and written by Frank Partos with Nathanael West (uncredited).[1]
Stranger on the Third Floor is often cited as the first "true" film noir of the classic period (1940–1959),[2][3][4] though other films that fit the genre such as Rebecca and They Drive by Night were released earlier.[5] Nonetheless, it has many of the hallmarks of film noir: an urban setting, heavy shadows, diagonal lines, voice-over narration, a dream sequence, low camera angles shooting up multi-story staircases, and an innocent protagonist falsely accused of a crime who is desperate to clear himself.
Reporter Michael Ward is the key witness in a murder trial. His evidence – that he saw the accused Briggs standing over the body of a man in a diner – is instrumental in having Briggs found guilty.
Afterwards Ward's fiancee Jane is worried whether Ward was correct in what he saw and Ward becomes haunted by this question. Next, Ward's neighbor is killed the same way as the man in the diner, but Ward is arrested for trying to point this out to the police. As a result, Jane goes out to try to clear Ward by finding the sinister stranger that Ward saw on the stairwell.

Critical response[edit]
Upon its release in 1940, The New York Times film critic, Bosley Crowther, called the film pretentious and derivative of French and Russian films, and wrote, "John McGuire and Margaret Tallichet, as the reporter and his girl, are permitted to act half-way normal, it is true. But in every other respect, including Peter Lorre's brief role as the whack, it is utterly wild. The notion seems to have been that the way to put a psychological melodrama across is to pile on the sound effects and trick up the photography."[6]
The staff at Variety also believed the film was derivative, and wrote, "The familiar artifice of placing the scribe in parallel plight, with the newspaperman arrested for two slayings and only clearing himself because of his sweetheart's persistent search for the real slayer, is used ... Boris Ingster's direction is too studied and when original, lacks the flair to hold attention. It's a film too arty for average audiences, and too humdrum for others."[7]
Dave Kehr, writing for the Chicago Reader, calls the film "An RKO B-film from 1940, done up in high Hollywood expressionism. It's absurdly overwrought (which was often the problem with the German variety), but interesting for it. The director, Boris Ingster, is better with shadows than with actors—venetian blinds carve up the characters with more fateful force than Paul Schrader's similar gambit in American Gigolo, and there's a dream sequence that has to be seen to be disbelieved."[8]

We're all here for the same reason, but I'm looking to meet someone who respects others, values family, etc (sounds totally cheesy). I also believe there is a certain chemistry that is needed, so I'm open for meeting up for a cup of coffee or a drink to see if there is something to build off of. Feel free to drop me an email and ask whatever I haven't included here and good luck in your search too :)

You Should get da Pg Mark :) trust me is worth to buy it than just spam m202 everywhere that's my best answer for you.
pg if youre looking for more dmg, m202 if you want burst dmg
Depends on your point of view. If you like to spam rockets, then m202a2 is probably better for you. If you like to get in close then, Pg Mark 1 is probably for you. I have both, however I just got m202a2 yesterday so I can't really offer an opinion. Just a note- pg mark 1 costs a lot more coins. Luckily for me, I got it on sale.

Box to contain oil leak touches down on Gulf floor
Published: Friday, May 7, 2010 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, May 7, 2010 at 11:35 p.m.
ON THE GULF OF MEXICO — A BP-chartered vessel lowered a 100-ton concrete-and-steel vault onto a ruptured well in the Gulf of Mexico on Friday, an important step in a delicate and unprecedented attempt to stop most of the gushing crude fouling the sea.
Underwater robots guided the 40-foot-tall box into place. Now that the contraption is on the seafloor, workers will need at least 12 hours to let it settle and make sure it's stable before the robots can hook up a pipe and hose that will funnel the oil up to a tanker.
"It appears to be going exactly as we hoped," BP spokesman Bill Salvin told The Associated Press on Friday afternoon, shortly after the four-story device hit the seafloor. "Still lots of challenges ahead, but this is very good progress."
By Sunday, the box the size of a house could be capturing up to 85 percent of the oil. So far about 3 million gallons have leaked in an environmental crisis that has been unfolding since a deepwater drilling platform exploded April 20, sending toxic oil toward a shoreline of marshes, shipping channels, fishing grounds and beaches. Eleven workers were killed in the accident.
The lowering of the containment device was a slow-moving drama playing out 50 miles from Louisiana's coast, requiring great precision and attention to detail. It took about two weeks to build the 40-foot box, and the effort to lower it by crane and cable to the seafloor began late Thursday night. After it hit bottom Friday afternoon, the crane gradually eased off to allow it to settle.
"We are essentially taking a four-story building and lowering it 5,000 feet and setting it on the head of a pin," Salvin said.
The task became increasingly urgent as toxic oil crept deeper into the bays and marshes of the Mississippi Delta.
A sheen of oil began arriving on land last week, and crews have been putting out floating barriers, spraying chemical dispersants and setting fire to the slick to try to keep it from coming ashore. But now the thicker, stickier goo — arrayed in vivid, brick-colored ribbons — is drawing ever closer to Louisiana's coastal communities.
There are still untold risks and unknowns with the containment box: The approach has never been tried at such depths, where the water pressure is enough to crush a submarine, and any wrong move could damage the leaking pipe and make the problem worse. The seafloor is pitch black and the water murky, though lights on the robots illuminate the area where they are working.
If the box works, another one will be dropped onto a second, smaller leak at the bottom of the Gulf.
At the same time, crews are drilling sideways into the well in hopes of plugging it up with mud and concrete, and they are working on other ways to cap it.
The well has been spewing about 200,000 gallons a day in the nation's biggest oil spill since the nearly 11 million gallons lost in the Exxon Valdez disaster in Alaska in 1989.
The cause of the blast has not been determined, but investigators have been focusing on the so-called blowout preventer. Federal regulators told The Associated Press that they are going to examine whether these last-resort cutoff valves on offshore oil wells are reliable.
At Hopedale, a fishing community in St. Bernard Parish, La., that has been a staging area for efforts to protect inlets and bayous, Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal stepped out of a helicopter and held aloft a tennis ball-size hunk of tarry oil he said a fisherman had retrieved near the mouth of the Mississippi River.
Oil was reported moving west of the Mississippi toward fishing and resort villages on the Louisiana coast.
After a flyover, Jindal described the orange and brown goo surrounding Louisiana's Chandeleur Islands as resembling "a ring around your bathtub."
Several members of Congress flew over the spill and then visited Hopedale on Friday as well.
U.S. Rep. Ed Markey, D-Mass., chairman of the House Energy and Environment Subcommittee, said hearings on the explosion will start next week.
"Lives were lost, livelihoods ruined," Markey said. "The lessons that will be learned will become laws."
BP plans to sell the petroleum it recovers after separating out the large amounts of natural gas and seawater — something that industry experts said should not present much of a problem.
"That's something they do for every oil well," said Don Van Nieuwenhuise, director of petroleum geoscience programs at the University of Houston. "They'll refine it and crack it and everything, and by the time it gets in your gas tank, you'll never even know it was in the water."
The oil's planned destination, BP's Texas City, Texas, refinery, has its own checkered history. An explosion there in 2005 killed 15 people and injured 170. Regulators last October hit BP with a record $87 million fine for safety violations.

I have LAMP installed on a PC that is running Ubuntu 11.10. LAMP was running fine but I had to restart the PC because Unity was messing up (as it often does) and the tool bar had disappeared. When it started up, I was unable to fire up any php files. I have a file index.php in /var/www. It is owned by www-data as is the directory that it is in. The LAN address of the server is 192.168.1.10. However when I type 192.168.1.10 into the URL box on Mozilla FireFox, I get
Unable to connect
Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at 192.168.1.10
This server is connected to another server on the LAN that has the LAN address 192.168.1.4. When I type 192.168.1.4 into the Firefow URL box on 192.168.1.10, I see the display associated with index.php on 192.168.1.4. Why can it not display its own /var/www/index.php?
Any assistance with this would be greatly appreciated, Peter.

"I was in the Resistance," he went on. "There were thirty Germans for every one of us, and they came here like beasts, not soldiers – shooting children, hanging women, cutting off people's hands – but we never surrendered."

"We met long ago," said Galip. "When we first met, your legs looked so thin and so delicate that I was afraid they would break. Your skin was rough when you were a kid, but as you got older, after we graduated from middle school, your complexion became rosy and incredibly fine. If they took us to the beach on hot summer days when we went crazy from playing indoors, coming back with ice-cream cones we bought at Tarabya, we would scratch letters with our long nails into the salt on each other's arms. I loved the fuzz on your skinny arms. I loved the peachy color of your suntanned legs. I loved the way your hair spilled over your face when you reached for something on the shelf above my head."
"We should have met long ago."
"I used to love the strap marks left on your shoulders by the bathing suit you borrowed from your mother, the way you absentmindedly tugged at your at your hair when you were nervous, the way you caught between your middle finger and thumb a speck of tobacco left by your filterless cigarette on the tip of your tongue, the way your mouth fell open watching a movie, the way you unwittingly scarfed up the roasted garbanzos and nuts in the dish under your hand while you read a book, the way you kept losing your keys, the way you screwed up your eyes to see because you refused to accept you were nearsighted. When you narrowed your eyes on a distant point and absconded for parts unknown, I understood that you were thinking of something else, and I loved you apprehensively. Oh my God! I loved with fear and trepidation what I couldn't know of your mind as much as I loved what I did know." (Orhan Pamuk, from The Black Book)
"You remember those birds that were getting sucked into the jet engines? Sometimes I lie in bed at three or four in the morning and I imagine myself flying miles above the earth, very cold, and one of those black secret spy planes is up there with the huge round engines with the spinning blades in it, the blades that look like the underside of mushrooms? The black plane's going very fast and I'm going very fast in the opposite direction and we intersect, and I fly right through one of those jet engines, and I exit as this long fog of blood. I'm miles long, and, because it's so cold, I'm crystalline. Very long arms, you'll be pleased to hear. And then I recondense in bed, sshhp, as my short warm self. It must have something to do with my estrogen level. But that's what telephone travel would be like out there, I think. What am I saying, that's what it is like." (Nicholson Baker, from Vox)
Be thankful that we have so many excellent comics in Previews! Don't be afraid!

"I write in blood, and the best truth is a bloody truth." (Irvin D. Yalom, from When Nietzsche Wept)
If people bring so much courage to this world the world has to kill them to break them, so of course it kills them. The world breaks everyone and afterward many are strong at the broken places. But those that will not break it kills. It kills the very good and the very gentle and the very brave impartially. If you are none of those you can be sure it will kill you too but there will be no special hurry. (Ernest Hemingway, from A Farewell to Arms)
The great French revolutionary hero Danton, who will lose his head during the 'Terror,' is making a rueful remark. '… But Robespierre and the people,' he observes, 'are virtuous.' Danton is on a London stage, not really Danton at all but an actor speaking lines of Georg Büchner in English translation; and the time is not then, but now. I don't know if the thought originated in French, German, or English, but I do know that it seems astonishingly bleak – because what it means, obviously, is that the people are like Robespierre. Danton may be the hero of the revolution, but he also likes wine, fine clothes, whores; weaknesses which (the audience instantly sees) will enable Robespierre, a good actor in a green coat, to cut him down. When Danton is sent to visit the widow, old Madame Guillotine with her basket of heads, we know it isn't really on account of any real or trumped-up political crimes. He gets the chop (miraculously staged) because he is too fond of pleasure. Epicureanism is subversive. The people are like Robespierre. They distrust fun. (Salman Rushdie, from Shame)
"It's like blue light when you touch me," she'd say. "Electric blue light sparking between us." She'd cry softly into my shoulder, tears of passion, because she couldn't get close enough to me. (W. P. Kinsella, from The Iowa Baseball Confederacy)
Neither of the two people in the room paid any attention to the way I came in, although only one of them was dead. (Raymond Chandler, from The Big Sleep)
"I'd like to change the world, but I end up as entertainment. Whereas all you lovers" — he spoke the word contemptuously — "who couldn't give a fuck about the world as long as you're feeling passionate, you're the ones who make the cities burn and the nations tumble. You're the engines in the tragedy, and most of the time you don't even know it." (Clive Barker, from Imajica)
"Your profession?"
"Poet? But what do you really do?"
"I write poetry." (Jerzy Kosinski, from Blind Date)
Usually, I fold the stuff I get for free into my weekly posts. But the fine folk at Radical Comics (most likely Gianluca Glazer, 'cause he's swell) sent me a whole bunch o' comics, so I figured they deserved their own post! So let's get to 'em!
One foolproof way to guarantee my purchase of a new comic book single is to only charge one (1) American dollar for it. (As a wise man once said, "I'd buy that for a dollar!") The first-one's-a-buck philosophy has been floating around comics for a few years now, providing a spike in sales and awareness, lessening the impact of any potential buyer's remorse. Vertigo has been at the forefront of the lone greenback game, but some other publishers have ventured into the business, as well. Let's take a look at a one dollar introduction that works, and one that does not.

Agüero and Silva points correction
I got a lot of points from these two, but that doesn't mean I will not report mistakes.
Between City's third and fourth goal, they both should've been awarded points for the following:
- Silva had a shot on target, which was blocked by a Norwich defender - 3 points, not awarded
- He took the corner himself and reached Agüero, who volleyed it over - 1 point, not awarded
- Later, a City corner was missed by Ruddy. Agüero picked up the lost ball and shot on target, but a Norwich defender blocked - 3 points, not awarded
Later, I believe in the 66th minute, Agüero had another shot on target which was blocked by a defender - again, 3 points not awarded.
Please look in to this, for me the entire credibility of the scoring system is at stake when things like this happen.Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
It's also funny that in home screen of premiere league Aguero has 25 points but on my team live game screen he has 20 points. Figure it out if you can :)

There are a number of sql server paging questions on stackoverflow and many of them talk about using
ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY ...) AND CTE. Once you get into the hundreds of thousands of rows and start adding sorting on non-primary key values and adding custom WHERE clauses, these methods become very inneficient. I have a dataset of several million rows I am trying to page through with custom sorting and filtering, but I am getting poor performance, even with indexes on all the fields that I sort by and filter by. I even went as far as to include my SELECT columns in each of the indexes, but this barely helped and severely bloated my database.
I noticed the stackoverflow paging only takes about 500 milliseconds no matter what sorting criteria or page number you click on. Anyone know how to make paging work efficiently in SQL Server 2008 with millions of rows? This would include getting the total rows as efficiently as possible.
My current query has the exact same logic as this stackoverflow question about paging: Best paging solution using SQL Server 2005?

I have a table of subscriptions for contacts. A contact can have multiple subscriptions:
CREATE TABLE contact (
id INTEGER NOT NULL,
name TEXT,
PRIMARY KEY (id)
CREATE TABLE subscription (
id INTEGER NOT NULL,
contact_id INTEGER NOT NULL REFERENCES contact(id),
start_date DATE,
end_date DATE,
PRIMARY KEY (id)
I need to get all subscriptions for a given by contact that do not have a subscription that starts on the same date as the end date of the another subscription for the same contact.
So for the given data:
INSERT INTO contact (id, name) VALUES
(1, 'John'),
(2, 'Frank');
INSERT INTO subscription (id, contact_id, start_date, end_date) VALUES
(1, 1, '2012-01-01', '2013-01-01'),
(2, 1, '2013-01-01', '2014-01-01'),
(3, 2, '2012-01-01', '2012-09-01'),
(4, 2, '2013-01-01', '2014-01-01');
I want to get subscriptions with ids of 2, 3, 4 but not 1, because the contact 'John'
has a subscription with a
start_date on the same day (
2013-01-01) as the
for subscription with
id of 1.
What is the best way to achieve this?

Giada De Laurentiis is Redbook Magazine's Feb. 2011 covergirl! In addition to making a fab on the cover, the head-turning but very married Food Network hostess opens up for the first time about an "embarrasssing" Star Magazine report romantically-linking her to guitar-strumming womanizer John Mayer.
Giada says she was floored when fairytales of her reportedly spending the night in a Manhattan hotel with Mayer were plastered across newsstands last fall.
"The John Mayer incident was completely unexpected. I was shocked. And not so much for me, but for my husband and family," De Laurentiis explains. "Todd was embarassed that his family in Michigan would see it and think, What is going on over there in Hollywood?… What made it all even more surprising is that I haven't had any contact with John Mayer in three years. You know how you'll briefly get introduced to somebody? Maybe we chatted for five minutes, but I wouldn't consider that intimate…. I think the only things that could have possibly have tied us together is that we were at the same hotel that weekend in question–which, by the way, my husband was with me there as well."

Stranger Name Checked in The New Republic
The New Republic cites the Stranger's Urban Archipelago piece today. I think they're making fun of us.
Similar, if more refined, sentiments popped up in print publications as well. The editors of Seattle's popular newsweekly, The Stranger, wrote:
"Citizens of the Urban Archipelago reject heartland "values" like xenophobia, sexism, racism, and homophobia, as well as the more intolerant strains of Christianity that have taken root in this country. And we are the real Americans. They—rural, red-state voters, the denizens of the exurbs—are not real Americans. They are rubes, fools, and hate-mongers."
Using the Washington Post's conerservative Ben Domenech Red America blog debacle, the TNR article is about how "elitist" liberals shoehorn and stereotype Republicans.
It's kind of ironic that they name check us on that score, given that we also hired a conservative blogger to do a weekly column last yearSound Politics's Stefan Sharkansky. Ask Stefan, and I'm sure he'll confirm, that I asked him to defy conservative stereotypes and buck the GOP establishment. Notably, he did that for the Stranger in a column dinging Bush for ignoring GOP values.

a counter per post, is not acceptable. Many posts won't be included and some have multiple images per post. In other words, wp-postratings is not applicable. Beyond being over-engineered and rigid, it is per post only.

Does anyone know how to automatically redirect to the homepage and is this the correct thing to do?

Business; How Much For Tickets? You Need a Scorecard
By JOHN MORELL
Published: June 8, 2003
AS a die-hard Cubs fan, Ira D. Finkelberg was willing to pay almost anything to buy a ticket to see his team take on the Yankees this weekend. So are many other baseball fans in Chicago, particularly in a season when the Cubs have been leading the Central division of the National League.
For many baseball teams, there has always been a seller's market for tickets -- at least for some opponents, on certain days. Now baseball executives are acknowledging this phenomenon and embracing ''variable pricing'' -- the practice of changing ticket prices based on anticipated demand. Tickets to games against good teams or on weekends cost more, while those against lesser opponents or in the middle of the week can be sold at a lower price.
''For years we'd have meetings about our prices, and we'd look at all the other entertainment venues,'' said Frank Maloney, the director of ticket operations for the Chicago Cubs. ''If you go to the movies at night you pay more than if you go during the day, and even restaurants have 'early bird' specials to drive traffic in. Why can't we do that?''
The Cubs are trying to squeeze every bit of revenue they can from every fan. So are the other 29 Major League Baseball franchises, in part because average attendance at big-league ballparks has fallen the last decade, to 26,600 a game in 2002 from 31,000 in 1993. For teams in the biggest cities, the pain of declining attendance has been compounded by the adoption of a form of revenue sharing, which has put pressure on big-city teams to make up for what they must give to small-market competitors.
One particularly visible approach is to increase ticket revenue by charging more for games against certain marquee teams or for games on weekends. Mr. Finkelberg, for example, bought four tickets in a terrace box for today's game at Wrigley Field for $32 each last February, when they went on sale. That is more than 20 percent more than the same seats cost last weekend, when the Cubs played the Houston Astros -- even though the Astros are in the same division and likely to fight them for a playoff spot.
But Mr. Finkelberg, 45, of Antioch, Ill., is sanguine about the increase. ''I'm seeing the teams I want to see play on a day that works for me,'' he said. ''So I'm not bothered by a price increase at all.''
This is the first time the two teams have played in Chicago since the 1938 World Series, which the Yankees won in four games. Ticket brokers, including one owned by the Cubs, are asking as much as $1,500 a seat to see the game.
In the past, when a baseball fan bought a seat in a particular section, the ticket had a set price during the season, whether the game was on a drizzly May weeknight against a last-place opponent or on a sunny Saturday in July against the division champions. That was just, well, baseball.
But now some baseball executives are beginning to think and act more the way theater producers or concert promoters do. Among the teams that have embraced some form of variable pricing are the Yankees and the Mets in New York; the Anaheim Angels, last season's World Series champions; the San Francisco Giants, the National League champions; the Atlanta Braves; and the St. Louis Cardinals.
''WE'RE an entertainment entity doing 81 dates over a six-month period,'' said Robert DiBiasio, vice president for public relations of the Cleveland Indians, referring to the number of regular-season home games. ''Of course, there are going to be dates that sparkle more than others, so our goal was to figure out which ones they were and plan and price accordingly.''
The team has lowered prices for large sections of its home, Jacobs Field, dropping the bleachers price to $12 from $19, for example. To help pay for those cuts, there is a $5 across-the-board premium for 10 so-called showcase games: opening day and series against the Los Angeles Dodgers, the Cincinnati Reds and the Yankees. Opening day was a sellout, generating $211,000 more revenue than on opening day in 2002.
Over all, however, attendance in Cleveland has dropped 34 percent over the first 25 dates versus 2002. The sharp drop in attendance would appear to offset any gain from variable pricing, but Mr. DiBiasio said the Indians could still make more with less. ''If we maximize our showcase games, we'll realize over $1 million in additional ticket revenue'' over the full season, he said.
Daniel A. Rascher, president of Sports-Economics, a sports consulting firm in Berkeley, Calif., said variable-price ticketing ''has been around for years, but baseball is just getting around to it.'' He added: ''It's basic economics. When you've got a product that has a big demand like a matchup between two rival teams, the ticket price should be higher. You have the potential of increasing ticket revenues by 20 percent to 30 percent.''
The way business has been going the last few years, baseball is more than ready for those kinds of numbers. Attendance at major league games over all fell 6.3 percent last year and has continued to decline in 2003, by 4.6 percent through May compared with the same number of games last year. Team executives blame the war in Iraq, bad weather in the Midwest and Northeast and the weak economy.

Your cake is in the oven and the buttercream frosting is chilling in the fridge. Now, all of you have to worry about is finding those bottles of sprinkles you bought ages ago… or do you?
See How to Make Your Own Sprinkles at Home
Baking is a process that we all take pride in because it's a labor of love. From sifting the flour to beating in one egg at a time, the patience and diligence it takes to put together a cake, cupcake, cookie, or pie, makes the end result that much better.
For Even More Sprinkles, See Our Gorgeous Guide to Sprinkles
Because we're always proponents for things you can do in the comfort of your own kitchen, we say that you shouldn't just stop at the batter and the frosting when you're baking,
because you can make sprinkles at home, too. With just a few simple ingredien
ts from your pantry and a knack for mixing and matching food coloring, you can have jimmies, dots, or even hearts on hand for decorating. With all of that love and care baking away in the oven, why use store-bought sprinkles to give it some color?

Rookie Years
|Complete the Rookie Years in Tiger Legacy Challenge
1997 First Major Win
1998 First Presidents Cup
1998 Fight the Winds
1998 First Tiger Woods Video Game
1997 Phoenix Open
One of the most difficult challenges in Tiger Legacy at least for me. It took me about 45 mins to get within a foot of the hole and when i finally beat this i actually ended up getting a hole in one. The goal of this challenge is to land within 1 yard or the hole or better on the 16th hole at TPC Scottsdale. I will refer to the hole in one on the 1982 challenge in Toddler Years as they are similar. There again is some luck involved since there are so many variables involved with the shot. (Wind, aim, swing, etc...)
The best suggestion is to again use amateur settings and use the caddy to assist you with the shot. It again helps if the wind is minimal. Ensure the aim is very close to the hole and you will more than likely need to use the spin control one direction or another depending on the wind to help dial in this shot. Just keep plugging away at this shot and it should come the more you attempt it as you will being to figure out the exact shot you need to land it near or in the hole. Once you accomplish the goal of this challenge you will unlock the achievement for Rookie Years.
