Preview: Rockets vs. Timberwolves
Setting the scene for Houston's matchup with the Minnesota Timberwolves
HOUSTON - Setting the scene for Houston's matchup with the Minnesota Timberwolves:
The Basics:
Minnesota Timberwolves (34-32) at Houston Rockets (45-22)
Point Differential:
Minnesota: +3.6 (NBA rank: 9th)
Houston: +4.7 (NBA rank: T-6th)
Offensive Rating (points per 100 possessions):
Minnesota: 105.5 (9th)
Houston: 108.1 (6th)
Defensive Rating (points allowed per 100 possessions):
Minnesota: 103.2 (T-12th)
Houston: 102.4 (10th)
Pace (number of possessions per 48 minutes):
Minnesota: 99.75 (4th)
Houston: 98.16 (8th)
Four Factors:
Shooting – Effective field goal percentage (eFG% is a field goal percentage that's adjusted for made 3-pointers being 1.5 times more valuable than a 2-point shot):
Minnesota: 48.2% (T-23rd)
Houston: 53.2% (3rd)

Rebounding – Rebound percentage (the percentage of total rebounds obtained)
Minnesota: 50.6% (T-13th); offensive rebound rate: 27.4% (12th); defensive rebound rate: 75.3% (12th)
Houston: 52.1% (4th); offensive rebound rate: 27.7% (T-5th); defensive rebound rate: 73.6% (T-20th)
Free Throws – Free throw rate (the rate at which a team goes to the line relative to the number of field goals it attempts):
Minnesota: .319 (4th)
Houston: .391 (1st)
One of the many things that makes March Madness such a manic, muddled, beautiful mess is the raw desperation that manifests itself on the court while the three-week tournament runs its course. The purity of that emotion magnifies every shot and every possession as each team pours its heart and soul into surviving the do-or-die affair.
That desperation is a feeling the Minnesota Timberwolves know all too well these days, and it is one of the many reasons why the Rockets must be exceedingly wary heading into tonight's matchup. The cold, hard truth for the Timberwolves: This morning found them owning about a six percent chance to make the playoffs with the very strong likelihood that they would probably need to go 14-2 – and perhaps even 15-1 – over the course of their remaining 16 games to have a realistic shot at qualifying for postseason play. Oh, and their schedule the rest of the way is not at all kind or favorable in that regard.
But here's the thing: This Minnesota team has forever teased and hinted that it possesses the talent and necessary pieces to go on just such an extended run. Its statistical profile suggests it boasts the stuff of a squad that should be fighting for 50 wins, rather than simply struggling to stay above .500.
And yet, here they are. After last night's overtime victory in Dallas, the Wolves are two games above the .500 mark for the first time since November 23. That date found Minnesota in Houston, playing the second night of a back-to-back (Minnesota, by the way, is just 4-11 in such situations this season, and a lowly 1-9 when the second game is played on the road) after recording a win over Brooklyn the night before. The Rockets went wire-to-wire en route to winning 112-101. And it's taken the T-Wolves nearly four, long and laborious months to return to that humble plateau.
So yes, they are beyond desperate these days. And that, in turn, makes them exceedingly dangerous. On the day that a tournament synonymous with big upsets borne of desperation begins, the Rockets must be mindful in order to ensure that they do not fall victim to one of their own.
Know Thy Enemy
- Tonight's matchup pits the league's two best first quarter teams against each other, based on their respective net ratings in the period (Houston's is +11.4; Minnesota's is +10.9). What has consistently killed the Timberwolves this season is their well-publicized breakdowns in the final frame. Rather remarkably, only Detroit owns a worse fourth quarter net rating than does Minnesota (-9.5). As a result, the Timberwolves are just 4-12 this season in games decided by four points or fewer, though it is worth noting that they have won two such games in a row, including last night's 123-122 overtime thriller over Dallas (a game, by the way, that predictably saw Minnesota get outscored 26-19 in the fourth quarter).
- By now the basketball world has caught on to the brilliance of Kevin Love. He ranks third in the NBA in Player Efficiency Rating (behind some guys who go by the names Durant and James, respectively), he's second in the league in rebounds per game, and fourth overall in scoring average.
But no number more accurately reveals his importance to the Timberwolves than does the disparity in the club's offensive rating when he plays versus when he's on the bench grabbing a breather. During the 2,306 minutes Love has been on the floor this season, Minnesota's offense has scored at a rate of 109.5 points per 100 possessions – a mark that would rank second in the NBA, just a shade behind Miami's No. 1 overall offense. When he's on the sideline, however, that number plummets all the way to 94.0 – a rating worse than that posted by the cellar-dwelling 76ers.
Love, by the way, is averaging 29 points and 12.5 rebounds per game against the Rockets this season.
- Minnesota ranks sixth in the league in both pace-adjusted points off turnovers and second chance points scored. Related: In their two meetings against Houston this season, the Timberwolves have racked up 35 second chance points combined and forced the Rockets into more than 21 turnovers per game.
- Minnesota's inability to consistently space the floor has been their Achilles' heel all season long. The Wolves are just 26th in the league in 3-point percentage, and 29th overall in their hit rate from the corners, where they are shooting just 31 percent.
The 3-point line has loomed large in Houston's two wins over Minnesota this season; the Rockets have knocked down 28-of-58 (.483) from beyond the arc in those contests while the T-Wolves have hit just 14-of-51 (.275). J.J. Barea has been particularly errant in his attempts from downtown; his 2-of-19 mark from the field against Houston this season includes a 1-of-9 blemish from 3.
- Minnesota fouls less frequently than does any other team in the NBA. Houston has taken 36 free throws combined in its two games against the Timberwolves this season. For perspective, take note that the Rockets average more than 31 free throw attempts per contest.
- Due to their solid rebounding and superior ball security, the T-Wolves are very good at limiting points off turnovers and second chance points. Where they really struggle, however, is in rim protection; Minnesota's opponents have hit a whopping 65 percent of their shots from within the restricted area – the worst such mark in the league.
In the spotlight
With both teams likely to take the floor tonight without their starting centers (Minnesota's Nikola Pekovic is considered doubtful and Houston's Dwight Howard has already been ruled out – both with ankle issues), the spotlight shines on a pair of back-up centers who have performed admirably in relief roles this week.
Rookie Gorgui Dieng is coming off back-to-back double-double showings – the first two of his young career, in fact. Omer Asik, meanwhile, was a double-double machine throughout all of last season and he reprised that routine Monday night during Houston's lopsided win over Utah.
The Rockets never hit the glass better than they do when Asik in on the floor as their defensive rebound rate and overall rebound rate reach their highest levels when the 27-year-old center is playing. His presence, then, figures to loom especially large tonight as Houston attempts to limit Minnesota's second chance opportunities while creating transition scoring chances of their own – the latter half of that equation proving especially vital as the Rockets seek to run the floor and push the pace against a Timberwolves team that had to work overtime last night in Dallas.
Injury Update
Dwight Howard (ankle) and Greg Smith (knee) are out.

Oh, you're probably just a very normal American gamer.
Well, this game was a graphic adventure in Japan that was ported to every console of its time (1985 to 1991). We have two soundtracks for this game, which both have the same title. One, an arranged album, was released with the NES version of the game, and another soundtrack (this time with the NES tracks on a second disc), was released in 2002. A song from this game, which is remembered because Yuji Horii of Dragon Quest fame helped create it, will be featured on "Piacom Vol. 1," the Piano Collection with oldschool game music coming from Dog Ear Records. So now you have reason to be interested.
Next up! Have you traveled the "Rainbow Silkroad" in an NES RPG? I have!
Rainbow Silkroad was an RPG that stayed in Japan. It was an NES title, and it started you in Damascus, Jerusalem, Mecca, and other such ancient cities of note. And you travel east to China and Japan. This soundtrack has some absurd arranged tracks and some decent OST tracks.
Finally, we have all three CD releases for the Xak RPG trilogy, which was on the MSX and PC Engine consoles in Japan. The first two of the three games feature music from Ryuji Sasai. Definitely worth checking out.
And those are our ultra-obscure soundtracks for November... as promised! I know there are plenty of new releases you may be interested in. But I hope you enjoy this taste of 20+ year-old RPG music.

When it comes to drawing characters from Nickelodeon, it is always fun to see how they will turn out. Not only is replicating a particular character fun, it's also almost always easy to achieve such a goal. I think this is because Nickelodeon creates such simple looking figures, which then in turn enables them to be easy to draw. Today, I will be giving you guys such a lesson on two of the most coolest characters that was on the Nickelodeon line-up. Who is this duo you ask? Well, how are you going to react when I show you "how to draw Zim and Gir", step by step? Pretty wild huh? I love Zim, and I love Gir. Because of massive feedback I got from the other tutorials I did on both of these two alien creatures, I wanted to pair them up so you can draw them together. Remember a while back when I was submitting character duos and I said that I was going to upload all sorts of characters that are best known as a pair. Well, I can't believe I forgot all about Gir and Zim. I mean, how can these two icons slip my mind like they did? If it wasn't for my mom, I probably wouldn't have ever thought to "draw Zim and Gir" together. Anyways, I do believe you will be entertained by this tutorial because you should really have no trouble at all tackling this lesson. I will be back soon with some more drawing fun so try and stick around to see what I will surprise you guys with next. Remember, drawing is a tool used to express yourself, so let's all express ourselves freely so nothing gets bottled in inside. Peace out people!
DragoArt members upload artwork and drawing tutorials! They are also allowed to leave comments on tutorials, profiles, etc. Many more features, as well; it's way better than just being a boring guest!

# Hey
# i assume that you followed wengi'S great tutorial and your usb hdd is mounted correctly.

# here is an example how to restrict a SVN project to a certain group
# Notice: here is this example the user mike should be able to connect to the svn project Project01 by connecting with svn://YOURDOMAINNAME/Project01

# Thanks for this great forum.
# mefi
unfortunatelly there is a problem with /dev/random and the svn package. ( detail: http://rubylution.ping.de/articles/2...using-svnserve )
if your svn client hangs then perform some commands on your wl-500gp like find / -name blah or top
Does anyone has an idea to solve this problem, permanantly?
There is a new package of svn available (1.4.6). maybe someone could compile for oleg fw
obviously dropbear uses randomly generated data while ssh session is active.
the easiest way not to get the above described "hanging" connection, just log off from your ssh console
i wondered why this problem occured sporadic, now i know
whole tutorial above updated.
I managed to solve the hanging-connection-due-to-low-entropy-problem by using the xinetd for fireing the svn process.
svn works now like a charm, i tested it by working on an university developing projekt concurrently with 3 other students. and with my own private reachable low cost svnserver i love the svn concept even more than before
Meanwhile there is a new version of svn package available: svn_1.4.6-1_mipsel.ipk

Meet Heidi Northcott, an American poker player and Jose Canseco's current girlfriend. See photos and read a biography of Heidi below.
Heidi Northcott, girlfriend to Jose Canseco, was featured tonight in the A&E documentary, Jose Canseco: Last Shot. The show followed Canseco this past summer, the first week in June, through Labor Day, as he struggles with his health, finances and personal problems.
In the hour long special, he spoke of his 2005 book, Juiced:
"The biggest mistake I made was, I should have not written ("Juiced"). The more I think about it, the more I regret mentioning these players in my book."
Heidi Northcott is in the news, as she announced that her boyfriend, Jose Canseco, will in fact make his MMA debut on May 26 in Japan. Heidi said that the MMA approached Canseco two weeks ago about the fight. Canseco said, "I have no idea if I can do it. It's a tough sport." How do you think Canseco will fare against 7 foot 2, 330 pound Hong Man Choi from South Korea? You can bet I'll be watching to find out!
As a biography, not much is known about Heidi Northcott, and after doing an exhaustive search for her on the 'net, it looks like she is a poker player, having played in the Larry Flynt Challenge Cup on January 8, 2008. The blonde haired beauty took 18th place and won $500 for her efforts.
It is unclear when Heidi and Jose started dating, although photos that I have found of the two together date back to February 2007.
If you have any other info on Heidi that you'd like to share, please leave me some comments!
More photos of Heidi Northcott are below.

Proprietary estoppel - share in development value (High Court)
Cobbe v Yeomans Row Management Ltd, 25 February 2005, (High Court).
The High Court has awarded a developer a half share of the increase in value of a property attributable to planning permission having been granted. The developer had spent a considerable sum obtaining planning permission to redevelop the property, relying on an oral agreement that the owner would sell it to the developer once planning permission had been obtained.
NOTE ADDED 04/08/06: The Court of Appeal has upheld the High Court's decision. See Legal update, Proprietary estoppel - share in development value (Court of Appeal)

Ariel Sharon, the controversial self-styled "warrior" who dominated Israel's military and political landscape for decades, has died eight years after a massive stroke left him in a vegetative state.
The former army general and prime minister suffered multiple organ failure over the new year. His sons were at his bedside at the Sheba Medical Centre, a long-term care facility near Tel Aviv, where Sharon has lain since May 2006.
For many Israelis he will be mourned as a giant figure who played a key role in shaping Israel both as a soldier and a statesman.
Among Palestinians and leftwing Israelis, Sharon, 85, will be remembered as a powerful and reviled champion of Israel's colonial settlement project, and the political force behind the construction of the vast concrete and steel separation barrier that snakes through the West Bank. Many will not forgive his role in the killing of hundreds of Palestinians in refugee camps in Beirut in the 1980s.
His body is expected to lie at the Israeli parliament, the Knesset, to allow members of the public to pay their respects ahead of an official state ceremony, to which international figures will be invited. The former prime minister is expected to be buried at his ranch in the Negev desert, next to his wife's grave.

The premium economy cabin is getting popular among air travellers from India. Air France and Virgin Atlantic have seen 40 per cent and 60 per cent growth, respectively, in this class from India routes. The latter has increased the number of seats in the segment from 35 to 48 in its Airbus A330 planes.
British Airways, Turkish Airlines and Cathay Pacific also offer premium economy seating on their flights to India. The class has wider reclining seats and an exhaustive menu in comparison with regular economy. Cathay Pacific has separate check-in counters at airport for the segment's passengers. Fares in this category are 20-30 per cent higher than the lowest economy fare, but cheaper than business class. For airlines, the segment helps to improve their loads and yields per flight.
Earlier in thw week Air France announced that 1.5 million passengers have travelled in premium economy class across its network in the last three years. "The premium economy product has been very successful in India since its launch on Indian routes in 2010. We have seen an increase in preference of this product by our customers this year,'' said Yeshwant Pawar Air France general manager (India).
"We carried about 7,000 passengers in premium economy cabins this year which is a growth of 40 percent over last year,'' he added. The airline offers the service on its twenty weekly flights to Mumbai, Bangalore and Delhi.
According to Stephen King, General Manager, Virgin Atlantic- India, "We have seen a strong demand in Premium Economy from India, with over 60 per cent growth this year to both London and New York from Delhi.
British Airways said nearly 1.2 million passengers fly in its premium economy passengers across the network and added that it is investing five billion pounds in new aircraft and upgrading its service. The airline refused to share India specific data.

Oh god. I don't even know how that happened but I cringed.
I too, am confused on how would that happen, It was not that sharp and a fast run to a door could not penerate the skin that bad. its like that was a heavy door and it closed fast on you.
God, i don't even want to know how bad that feels.
Get well soon.
Knock knock.
Who's there?
Nerve damage.
Wow, thanks for breaking it to him easily, Doc.
Really though.. I still can't wrap my head around how you managed this.
The thread title was pretty clear about what happened. He was fucking the door handle, and he fell on top of it.
i would be a dick too if i somehow ended up as a male nurse
Hngg Oh god that looks painful.
medical heroin
jesus it looks like you got clamped
Holy fuck dude.
You never asked for that.
How sharp is that door handle?! Aren't they usually blunt? Holy shit!
Holy shit that is in your arm deep, will you make a full recovery? Can you recover from that nerve damage, and will your bicep be completely functional?
This reminds me of when I was with my friends in the woods when I was younger. There was a fallen tree we were messing around on and I was running from the top of the tree down to the roots. I went to run through a bunch of leaves, little did I know there was a snapped off branch pointing straight at me. I ran straight into it and it left a 4 inch long gash across my chest while clothes lineing me onto my back. Fortunately I didn't break any ribs.
They said that my bicep will be fully functional and actually somewhat stronger because of the rebuilding of the muscle fibers, but the nerve damage may be permanent.
It is extremely blunt and I have no idea how it went into my arm. I think my arm tried to fit in between the handle and the door when it got snagged. Then the force of it snapping me back made it penetrate. Honestly, I have no idea.
Unless we're talking about hyperthermic shock that's not how it works.
you going to put the door handle back on the door?
I just used that as a term to generalize "passing out"
Wow the nerve damage is really tough luck. Must hurt 10 times worse than when it didn't hit the nerve too.
Wait, I'm still curious as to how the hell did that get lodged in your arm?
Dude can you move your fingers and stuff?
My worst nightmare is being unable to do any kind of small hobby, like painting, computers, and so on.
Also I like my fingers. I guess you can already tell.
Get well!
I can move my fingers just fine, but when I touch something with my pinkie or ring finger on my left hand, it tingles sort of like pins and needles. I have about 25% feeling in those 2 fingers.
I'm going to the doctor today, so I'll post a picture of the wound.
Sounds like your feeling might return to you, but probably not 100%.
I have nerve damage by burning and it seems like it's still getting better although very slowly.
You should ask your doctor how much of your feeling will return.
what the fuck, that looks fucking intense
fentanyl probably or diamorphine
I asked him and he said that they have no idea how much will return.
It was fentanyl. I remember from the name.
Will you be able to masturbate with that arm? If not, then I'm very sorry for the loss, son.
Its his left, I believe.
Holy shit that looks like it was extremely painful.
RIP op's girlfriend
For your information, I am right handed :D
What the fuck they ripped your nice polo shirt!
Get well soon kid.
My dad ran into a (blunt) door handle too when he was young.
It impaled his shoulder.
At least you don't have it bad as this cat
(User was banned for this post ("Don't image tag NSFW images" - Craptasket))
"Man, I'll get so many heart ratings for this!"
Door handles
What is this. I dont even...
I mean a door handle, you couldn't penetrate something if you tried!
Hope you get better soon, and the numb finger might turn out to be a blessing.
I actually had to come back to this thread to inspect that wound again. The first time I looked at it I guess it didn't really strike me what the issue was (I'm not very observant lol).
Holy shit mate, that's terrible. I've broken bones before, but I've never had something like that happen. I hope you don't have permanent nerve damage, or at least not debilitating nerve damage.
fucking tag that man
It could be worse. I knew someone who severed all the nerves in the palm in her hand. She couldn't use her hand properly for just over a year. Basically a year off work, watching Jeremy Kyle and living off insurance payments. That's insufferable!
Anyway, enjoy your microsurgery.
Impale the door with the handle
See how it likes that.
did you dick around with the door handle when it was in your arm
if I was high on painkillers that's what I would've done. I'm a terrible patient.
I wouldn't be able to handle the pain

TV Review: Ringer
Sarah Michelle Gellar is not messing around when it comes to her return to TV. Not only has she chosen Ringer, a campy nighttime drama, as her comeback vehicle, but she's playing twins: stripper junkie Bridget and rich bitch Siobhan. On top of that, Ringer's pilot throws in as much plot as it can manage in its 45 minutes without commercials: Bridget reconnects with Siobhan, who disappears during a boat ride while Bridget sleeps; Bridget takes over Siobhan's life, and discovers that she's barely speaking to her husband, she's having an affair with her best friend's husband, her step-daughter hates her and a masked man is trying to kill her. Oh, and the FBI is looking for Bridget, who's on the run after agreeing to testify against a very bad man.
The most surprising thing about Ringer is how cheap it looks. The CW has proven that it knows how to produce a socko soap, but here Gellar looks wan, the CGI is laughably bad and the scenes between Siobhan and Bridget-which will be mercifully few, as it turns out that Siobhan is alive and well and living in Paris-don't even attempt to disguise the fact that both characters share one actress. And don't get me started on the mirrors in every scene, preferably more than one, because why double when you can quadruple an image?
For all that, there's a guilty, dirty pleasure to be had in seeing so many fine actors having a ball with repressed emotion and meaty, nonsensical plots. Unlike The Lying Game, which has dawdled over its plots for a month, Ringer has come out of the starting gate with blazing engines, delivering exactly what its ads and commercials have promised: a new, sudsy drama starring a TV icon that requires precious little brain power. For connoisseurs of cheese, Ringer is not to be missed.

Doctors aren't sure what causes most cases of thyroid cancer, so there's no way to prevent thyroid cancer in people who have an average risk of the disease.
Adults and children with an inherited gene mutation that increases the risk of medullary thyroid cancer are often advised to have thyroid surgery to prevent cancer (prophylactic thyroidectomy). Discuss your options with a genetic counselor who can explain your risk of thyroid cancer and your treatment options.
Fallout from an accident at a nuclear power plant could cause thyroid cancer in people living nearby. If you live within 10 miles of a nuclear power plant in the United States, you may be eligible to receive a medication (potassium iodide) that blocks the effects of radiation on the thyroid.

Megève Slopes
On the slopes
Megève has an enormous ski area – albeit broken into three major and eight minor sectors – encompassing 445km (277 miles), more than 220 pistes and over 100 lifts. The classic resort is at a lower altitude than many other major French alternatives, with its highest point at 2,525m (8,284ft) on Mont-Joly, but snow cover is rarely a problem.
The largest single area links the village to the old spa town of St Gervais, just over the Mont d'Arbois summit. On the other side of Megève, the Rochebrune sector is uniquely accessed from the town itself, while the third sector, Jaillet, is shared with two neighbouring villages: Combloux and La Giettaz.
The lifts connecting these areas are included on the affordable Evasion Mont Blanc lift pass, which costs less than most ski areas of comparable or smaller size. Alternatively the larger Ski Pass Mont Blanc pass gives access to eight or so additional villages, such as Chamonix, Les Contamines, Verbier and Courmayeur.
Megève's terrain offers numerous green, blue and red trails winding through scenic woodland. Beginners have convenient nursery slopes near the village, while the more advanced are likely to find the greatest challenges on Mont d'Arbois. In addition, there are plenty of off-piste routes on Mont Joly and Mont Joux, and there's even the chance to go heli-skiing over the border in Italy.
Boarders and freestyle skiers have two terrain parks, a boardercross and a halfpipe to enjoy, while cross-country skiers can explore 43km (27 miles) of groomed tracks through forests to sunny plateaus.

Check Out 25 Fake Photos That Went Viral [VIDEO]
"Believe none of what you hear and only half of what you see." Now, of course, when Benjamin Franklin SAID that, it was 17 hundred-something-or-other…many, many moons prior to the first viral photo.
If he were alive today, he'd have good reason to augment that famous quotation and advise to believe NONE of what you see…under certain circumstances.
Like, for example, when you see children waist-deep in water working on the computer and their reflections don't match up. Or when you see a man walking a dog the size of a horse. Or when you see sharks swimming in flood water at the foot of an escalator.
Recently, I posted about some images that most would find hard to believe were not photoshopped. Well, now we are being assured that these images–many of them I remember being plastered across the Internet and television and passed off as the real thing–absolutely WERE photoshopped.
One, in particular, I found to be in poor taste.
But they are all fascinating, nonetheless.

The unstinting support Washington has lent to Pakistan's President Pervez Musharraf throughout the past year of tumult has led to something of a crisis for U.S. policy toward Pakistan. White House officials say they still hope opposition leaders will find a way to work with Musharraf. But CFR Senior Fellow Daniel Markey, himself a former top Bush administration policymaker on South Asia, says "Musharraf is obviously a poison pill" (NYT) and that he may be "fading out." Markey looks at the choices open to Washington, including strengthening Pakistani institutions, in this Policy Options Paper.
Official results (PDF) from February 18 elections confirming the party of slain opposition leader Benazir Bhutto, the Pakistan People's Party (PPP), won the most seats, followed by former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif's party Pakistan Muslim League (PML-N), could have huge implications for Washington's efforts along Pakistan's northern border with Afghanistan, too. U.S. efforts to clamp down on terrorist bases in Pakistani frontier areas hinged on military support from the Pakistani army and security forces. But the winners of the parliamentary elections say they will break from Musharraf's position and seek talks with the militants (NYT) in the tribal areas. In an interview with CFR.org, Frédéric Grare, a visiting scholar at Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, says the defeat of the religious parties in the elections brings "a new chance for the United States to seize this opportunity," and finally understand the nature of the Pakistani society.
The United States has had a tumultuous relationship with Pakistan, as this new timeline explains, and continues to score low in Pakistani public approval ratings. A poll from the U.S.-based International Republican Institute showed only 9 percent of Pakistanis said their country should cooperate with Washington in its war on terror. A report in the Washington Post, citing U.S. officials, says U.S. forces have been leading unilateral strikes within Pakistan's borders without permission from Pakistani authorities. The report says such strikes could become more frequent this year, particularly if a power vacuum results from the elections. In January, amid speculation regarding U.S. action in Pakistan's tribal areas, Secretary of Defense Robert M. Gates stressed Pakistani sovereignty and added: "We would not do anything without their approval."
The vote leaves major questions about where the volatile country will veer next. An editorial in Pakistan-based newspaper The News says "the possibility of an unwieldy situation emerging in the aftermath of the February 18 polls remains high." PPP cochairman Asif Ali Zardari, Bhutto's widower, and Sharif's PML-N party agreed to form a coalition government (BBC) and have ruled out the inclusion of parties that had been allied with Musharraf. The parties have agreed to reinstate the chief justice, sacked by Musharraf in November, but remain divided on the issue of Musharraf's political future (Dawn). The PPP and PML-N parties combined make up more than half the seats in the parliament, but if they are able to form a coalition with a two-thirds majority, they could take a number of steps against Musharraf, including impeachment.
Failures of the PPP and PML-N to come together in the past make analysts skeptical (Dawn). The Los Angeles Times raises the possibility Musharraf's party could still get in on a coalition, reinvigorating his claim on remaining in power.

Ariel Sharon's condition in steady decline, says hospital
The condition of Israeli former Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, who has been in a coma since a 2006 stroke, continues to decline, a hospital official said on Monday.
In his daily update to reporters since Sharon took a turn for the worse last week, Zeev Rotstein, director of the Sheba Medical Centre near Tel Aviv, said the 85-year-old's cardiovascular system was stable but the function of his other organs was slowly deteriorating.
"Absent anything short of a miracle, his condition will get worse day by day," Rotstein said.
"We are continuing to describe his conditional as critical, with immediate danger to his life."
He said Sharon's two sons remained at his bedside.
One of Israel's most famous generals, Sharon left his mark on the region through military invasion, Jewish settlement building on captured land and a shock, unilateral decision to pull Israeli troops and settlers out of the Gaza Strip in 2005. – Reuters

Ease Your Headaches with Energy Healing
By Diane Goldner
Migraine headaches are the worst. I know--I had chronic ones most of my life. I tried almost everything in my effort to heal the debilitating episodes of nausea and pain, from pills to meditation. When I discovered energy healing and became a healer myself, I was able to get to the root causes of my migraines and eliminate them once and for all. What I've learned can hopefully help you too.
These Natural Migraine Relief tips--using everything from gentle breathing to meditation to essential oils--can assist you mid-migraine and possibly prevent them. Though they are not a substitute for medical help, they can be a good complement, especially if drugs don't work. All of these are based on energy healing--helping to direct how chi, energy, life-force moves through the body. Physical problems are generally caused by imbalances or stuckness in the flow, so when you re-balance the energy, the body--and mind--can heal.
Read the first tip on how to relieve migraine headaches naturally.
Diane Goldner, author of How People Heal (Hampton Roads), is an energy healer with offices in Los Angeles and NYC. She also works long distance with people all over the country. For more information check out www.howpeopleheal.net or email Diane at dianegoldner AT gmail.com.

On paper, it makes perfect sense why Jason Momoa would be cast as main character Phillip Kopus in the Sundance Channel drama "The Red Road." He's had plenty of television experience and is a native American himself (Hawaiian, not Mohave like his character), but surprisingly it wasn't either of those factors that caught Sundance's eye.
Instead, it was Momoa's directorial debut. The film, called "Road to Paloma," was submitted to the Sundance Film Festival at around the time that "The Red Road" was casting. It has since made its premiere at the festival, and it was because of that project that both Momoa and his wife Lisa Bonet, who plays his love interest in "Road to Paloma," were brought into Sundance's second original scripted series.
"When we submitted it to Sundance, they were looking for a Native guy," Momoa tells Zap2it during a recent lunch promoting "The Red Road." "They liked the role, and obviously she's in it and they like the chemistry. It came out of, 'This guy can write and direct and produce it and make the whole thing.' A lot of people didn't think I could speak English, and so that helped knowing I could write Engrish (sic) and put this major thing together and it was my vision."
"Road to Paloma" is based on a real-life problem on Native American reservations where non-Natives cannot be tried under tribal law. Because of that, instances of violence and rapes and other heinous crimes take place on reservations and are never resolved in federal court. Momoa's character in the film is someone who decides to take revenge after a rape on Native land seriously affects his life.
Momoa calls this his "road movie," which he made with seven of his closest friends — including Bonet and "Person of Interest" star Sarah Shahi. They filmed on a small budget in five different states, and eventually ended up selling the project to Anchor Bay for a very limited theatrical release and a VOD release in July.
"That was a lot of years of our life that went into that film," Bonet says at the lunch.
"It's definitely one of the hardest things I've done in my life because it's very close to us," Momoa adds. "I just don't want to suck. That's my whole goal: Not sucking in front of my wife."
Bonet plays a love interest who Momoa's character meets when he's on the run. Though the audience can tell they're made for one another, the timing of their relationship makes it not fated to work out. They even share a love scene together, which Bonet describes as a "really safe" experience but which made Momoa "really nervous."
It was their chemistry together that got Bonet cast as a lawyer for the Native American tribe in "The Red Road." The way Momoa talks about her character, she could end up becoming his love interest on the Sundance Channel series in the future, though that doesn't happen in Season 1.
"It's completely the opposite of what we just played. We never thought we'd do this again," Momoa says. "It was great because it was the opposite of the thing we were playing in the movie and she really dug it and wanted to do it."
Bonet continues, "[Sundance was] like, 'We don't normally like husbands and wives working together,' but they really enjoyed our chemistries so it was super flattering too."
For Momoa, he finds the stories being told in both "The Red Road" and "Road to Paloma" very personal to him.
"How far would you go to protect your family? I love that idea, like in 'Road To Paloma,'" he says. "If something were to happen to the people that I love — and obviously I'm a father, son, grandson, husband — if someone were to hurt the women in my life and the law didn't take care of it, what would you do? Some pretty awful things. With that, there's the repercussion of that."
He admits that he now enjoys directing more than he does acting, because he is concerned he'll "run out of faces." He would like to direct episodes of "The Red Road" Season 2, and also has another feature planned that he'd like to make several years down the road.
Described as his "Braveheart" or "Dancing With Wolves," it's a period piece set in Hawaii that is based on a true story, and will likely cost around $15 million to make. Until then, he's going to continue acting and honing his directing skills on commercials.
"Road to Paloma" will open in theaters in New York City and Los Angeles on July 11 before its VOD release on July 15. "The Red Road" premieres on the Sundance Channel on Feb. 27 at 9 p.m. ET/PT.

The PC version of Plants vs Zombies is my "appointment" game. I plan to sit down and play in the same fashion others would for a game such as Killzone. In fact, I've spent more hours playing it than almost anything else released over the past three years.
Although I understand that these types of games are often used for simple diversions, I think Adam's overgeneralizing in his argument.Posted: June 9, 2010 4:37 AM -
All I could do during this video was watch the Peggle game in the back ground. I kept thinking "NO YOU FOOL DONT SHOOT THAT THERE!"
As for the iPhone games I don't see it ever being that great of a gaming device. Sure there are some really fun games on there, but a lot of them really suck. I think this may have to do with the amount of space you are given to work with. The main problem being that games have to put the controls right onto that tiny screen and anyone with normal sized thumbs is going to have problems with it.Posted: June 9, 2010 4:18 AM -

Hey Adam, big fan of your Soapbox and Feedback.
I had a similar discussion earlier in the day about the games you were describing, the more casual "pick-up-and-play" style of games. The situational classification of the games on the Ipad and such is splitting hairs I think. They are video games just like Red Dead Redemption or those old Tiger handhelds.
Those games on those devices(Ipod/Pad) are small simple convenience games. Games you truly don't have to invest yourself in as they can be turned off just as easily as they are turned on.
You're right though. People will set time aside for console/PC games because they need to invest in the experience, while the convenience games you pick up and play not because you made time but because you had time.
The portable devices can do the convenience games very well since they are usually there when you have time no matter were you are, and I think that because they were designed so portable that the games will be limited to that concept of convenience and simplicity. Otherwise you would have to make time for them and would usually be home for that anyway.
On an unrelated note: I know you're frazzled, tired, slowly being driven mad by the preparation for the upcoming events, but I think even though it's owning you, you wouldn't trade it for anything. I know I wouldn't.
Hang in there.Posted: June 8, 2010 9:15 PM

Individual servers yes,. they used to give a sense of community because you were stuck with those people - the good and bad ones alike.
Now the pool of bad people has increased tenfold, and the good ones will just jump into the same random batch or leave the group if they don't like the matchup.
The difference between good and bad players has increased.
WoW won't live as much as it does now if it was the same as vanilla until now.

Review: Samsung Galaxy Prevail
The Prevail supports mono and stereo Bluetooth headsets. I had no trouble pairing with either. Sound quality through mono headphones was not all that great. Quality through stereo headphones was terrible. I was also able to pair it with my computers and other handsets for sharing images, etc.
ClockThe Prevail offers the standard Android clock on the lock screen, which is visible when the device is first woken from sleep. It is a nice, large digital read out that's easily visible everywhere except under direct sunlight.
GPSThe Prevail offers two options for directions: Google Maps and TeleNav. Both are free. I enjoy Google Maps and think it does a great job of providing directions. TeleNav is a solid alternative, though, and Sprint doesn't charge for its use. Both will get you from here to there with no problems. The TeleNav app also offers voice commands, though they only worked about 50% of the time.

source: From rpgfan.com

EDIT: Disgaea 5 also in the work! thanks to Von Himmel for the info. http://www.siliconera.com/2012/10/23...-a-new-series/

Doesn't Nippon Ichi generally follow the credo of all previous sets included? Every successive game in the Disgaea series seems to include the usual rogues gallery plus the cast of whatever the last game was so I would expect to see the likes of Adell, Roz, Mao, Asagi, Zetta, Marona, Priere, Marjoly etc. along with the ever increasing list of cameos and references from popular anime of the time.

They might have some way to make them appear in this game, yes.. but considering that D2-D4 story might not have happened yet, their appearance might be a little bit..strange. Looking at D2-D4 cameos, eventhough they're cameo characters we can still see a little bit of development that makes them follow a certain timeline. For example we could see Zetta actually has his body again in D4 while he still in the form of book in D3. Most prominent example might perhaps be Flonne in angel form and how she appears to recognize Raspberyl in D4..
but since this one happened right after D1, we might not see those cameo characters and how they develop from their original story It's not a big deal though since their 'development' have never been that much to begin with... but it really kills the possibility of seeing a cameo character with more development than their original counterpart. edit+ http://www.siliconera.com/2012/10/23...-a-new-series/ more news... holy crap, stop taking my money NIS ._.

Since NIS put Fuuka and Desco in Disgaea 3 Return and Raspberyl in Disgaea 2's PSP port, I'm sure they'll work D2-D4's characters as cameos in somehow. If not, they'll at least be DLC.
Either way, I've been wanting a new game starring the main trio for a while now so I'm pretty excited. It'll be nice to finally have them not just be running gags in the post game. Last edited by drsypher; 2012-10-24 at 13:31. |

which most of us already know), i didnt expect Disgaea 5 to be announced already as well. lol, i though Dimension 2 would be the 5, but i guess not. if they're doing it like Final Fantasy X-2, then i really hope they continue the story for Disgaea 4. i want to know what happen after main character + Artina get together! so can i rename this thread to Dimension 2 / Disgaea 5 now? or do we need another thread for Disgaea 5 as well?

@Von & RRW: doesnt seem like i can change the title, oh well, but at least i can edit and change the heading a little.
yeah, i guess we can just have both titles in this thread for now so that it's easier to get up-to-date info. for everyone. thanks for the advise, doods! EDIT: anyways, first Dimension 2 and now Disgaea 5? dang, my mind is about to EXPLODE!

They gave Laharl pants? And why does he look taller and more mature than any of his past versions? Doesn't this take place after Disgaea 1 but before 4? What's with the long haired Laharl in the background as well? Can't be a girl due to no shirt....
Pshaw, as soon as Laharl appeared in Disgaea 4 he became the Main Character in our hearts. |

Brittany Murphy attends the "Across the Hall" premiere in December 2009. Credit: Gregg DeGuire/FilmMagic
When Brittany Murphy died suddenly in 2009, the official cause of death was pneumonia and anemia. Most people assumed that, in the case of a super-skinny, erratic starlet, that was a euphemism for death by drug abuse. When her husband, Simon Monjack, died just five months later of the same cause — pneumonia and anemia — that fit in neatly with the theory.
However, Murphy's father, Angelo Bertolotti, wasn't satisfied. He recently secured the rights to send samples of Murphy's hair and tissue to a lab for independent testing. The Examiner has the lab report, and it tells a shockingly different story.
Ten of the heavy metals evaluated were detected at levels higher than the WHO [World Health Organization] high levels. Testing the hair strand sample identified as "back of the head" we have detected 10 heavy metals at levels above the WHO high levels recommendation. If we were to eliminate the possibility of a simultaneous accidental heavy metals exposure to the sample donor then the only logical explanation would be an exposure to these metals (toxins) administered by a third party perpetrator with likely criminal intent.
So what really happened to the couple? Was it foul play? Or some sort of accidental exposure? Murphy's father wants to find out.
"We would like the investigation opened again to discover who did it. So as not to jeopardize the new investigation, I can't say who I suspect as of yet," he told the New York Daily News.

I romanticize the early 1960s from a Canadian design perspective. Not so much for fashion but in things like Expo '67 optimism, a whole bunch of airports, the new Toronto City Hall, the current Canadian flag, etc. This little gem came across my desk today and I *love* it. From the days when the Canadian government was interested in a national, socially just identity - but one that still clung to ideas of being "of the north," this was an ad for travelling to the Northwest Territories in (I think) 1965.
