If you found this year's tax filing season leading up to April 15, 2013 messy, you weren't alone. In fact, the Subcommittee on Oversight of the House Ways & Means Committee held a hearing on IRS Operations and the 2013 Tax Return Filing Season. OK, this wasn't as entertaining as Game of Thrones, but still, it mattered. Its focus? The filing season, IRS's fiscal 2014 budget, and IRS operations generally.
IRS wasn't the only one reeling. Even ubiquitous TurboTax didn't have a smooth filing season, admits Intuit Inc. The tax prep software maker Intuit revealed it had a "tough tax season" and lowered expectations for its third quarter. Results from Intuit's consumer tax business were weaker than expected.
As of April 16, Intuit said TurboTax sales grew 3% to 25.3 million. Electronic filings grew 4% to 26.5 million. Intuit lowered forecasts for its third quarter and year. Its shares fell $5.94, or 9.3%, to $58.25 in aftermarket trading. Still, the company said TurboTax revenue should grow about 4% for the year. Analysts forecast net income of $3.43 per share and $4.6 billion in revenue.
My modest proposal? A celebrity spokesperson. No one is associated as much with TurboTax as former Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner. Accused of not paying approximately $35,000 in self-employment/FICA tax, he famously said that TurboTax didn't say he owed it. His statement was among the better "oops" tax excuses of the last few years. He was confirmed as Treasury Secretary and the TurboTax defense was born. See No More Laughing At TurboTax Defense.
Since then, many observers have viewed his example as the ultimate in penalty abatement. Being confirmed as Treasury Secretary is surely better than getting a pass on a few thousand dollars of penalties. But most regular Joe taxpayers have had little success, including these cases: Hopson v. Commissioner; Parker v. Commissioner; Lam and Chang v. Commissioner; and Au v. Commissioner.
As for Mr. Snipes, a $49.99 copy of TurboTax would have probably been a better investment than the fancy, no-doubt expensive, yet ultimately way too aggressive "no-income" strategy he was urged to follow.

Browns Prepare for Defensive Struggle vs. Titans
Posted on 30 Sep 2011 by Bradley Ross.
The Browns will face off on Sunday against one of the league's best defense through the first 3 weeks of the season. The Titans are 2nd in points allowed and 1st in yards allowed so Colt McCoy and company will face tough sledding. The Browns counter with also having one of the top defenses which ranks high in net yards per pass and points allowed. While both defenses are stellar, the Off...

The NFL has become a league driven by quarterbacks. Their impact on a single game rivals that of the starting pitcher in baseball, but they also need a closer's mentality in the 4th quarter. The Browns beat the Dolphins in a game that was not at all pretty, but their QB prevailed. While Miami's Chad Henne put up the big stats, Colt McCoy led the Browns down the field for a 4th quarter co...

No question this will be an interesting game. One one side, you have the young Cleveland Browns who played well for a majority of the game last week against Cincinnati, but blew it at the end to the Bengals. On the other side, you have a veteran team that lost its locker room leader in Peyton Manning and somehow didn't show up to play last Sunday. Both teams have people that need to step ...

Embarrassing Blunders Lead to 27-17 Loss.
Posted on 12 Sep 2011 by Bradley Ross.
Its hard to write a recap after such a painful loss. The Browns didn't execute in many facets of the game and some of the blunders were just excruciating. Cleveland had 72 yards of penalties in addition to a couple of awful plays caused by a lack of discipline. The first was the Bengals TD to take the lead, where Bruce Gradkowski called the play just as the Defense was getting out of the ...

This is our second installment of the series entitled, "Most Hated." I want to provide a disclaimer, as yesterday's post ruffled a few feathers (no pun intended as we talked about the Ravens).

The Ravens Clinch Playoff Birth but have Eyes Set on Division Title.
Posted on 28 Dec 2010 by Frisco Fahs.
The Ravens beat the Browns 20-10 and are on their way to the playoffs no matter what the outcomes are next week. The Ravens and Steelers are both 11-4 but the Steelers hold the tiebreaker. The Ravens are continuing to run the ball effectively. They had 38 attempts for 161 yards. This has to continue if the Ravens want to make a playoff run. The Ravens' defense created four turnovers including...

The Ravens went and took care of business on Sunday by shutting down the Cleveland Browns and clinching their 3rd playoff berth in as many years under HC John Harbaugh. It was the running game that did the work offensively and Ed Reed who stymied youngin' Colt McCoy on the other side of the ball. The Ravens knew well in advance that they would need to win to stay on par for a possible AFC Nor...

Bengals Spoil McCoy's Return
Posted on 20 Dec 2010 by Fran Berkman.
Like most Browns losses, the margin of victory was small. It was two points that separated the teams, as the Bengals squeaked past the Browns 19-17. With all the time Colt McCoy spent watching this one from the sidelines, he probably felt like he was still recovering from his ankle injury that has kept him out of the past three games. This wasn't the case of course. McCoy actually retur...

Browns @ Bengals Preview
Posted on 17 Dec 2010 by Fran Berkman.
Here we go again. A pretty familiar storyline as the Browns head to Cincinnati to face the Bengals in a late season divisional game with very little at stake. Both teams are resigned to their fate of missing the playoffs. So this should basically be a walk through right? Don't count on in. Both of these teams would love to win this game. If they can't be the best football team in th...

Bills Win, Moving Further From Last In The League
Posted on 12 Dec 2010 by Norm Duhamel.
The Buffalo Bills have their third win of the season. Unfortunately for the Cleveland Browns, the 13-6 loss has dropped them to 5 and 8, ending their hope for a record over .500. It was exactly what I needed after Buffalo got destroyed by Minnesota last week. For the first time this year the Bills defense held their opponents under 10 points! More impressively they held the Browns to only 105...

Was it the unlimited paid time off that put Starr Tincup on Texas Monthly's top workplace list?
Starr Tincup, a Fort Worth marketing agency, thinks it was its air hockey table that won it a spot on Texas Monthly's "Best Companies to Work for in Texas 2011" edition. Starr Tincup points to its medical coverage (it pays 100 percent of employee and dependent premiums), unlimited paid vacation ("Take what you need, when you need it"), dollar-for-dollar match on first 4 percent of employee contributions to their 401(k), casual workplace ("We're a shorts and T-shirt, beer-in-the-fridge kind of place"), "fascinating work," and "awesome location" along Magnolia Avenue on Fort Worth's Near South Side. But all that aside, "I think it was the air hockey table that put us over the top," said Kevin Mangum, a Starr Tincup partner. "It's too easy to point to outstanding benefits, great clients, and happy hours at The Usual," apparently a favorite Fort Worth bar to the Starr Tincup workforce. Among Texas Monthly's eligibility criterion, employers must have at least 15 people working in Texas to be considered for the mag's annual ranking.

When Jennifer Williams walked into the Nalley Lexus dealership in Cobb County, Ga., on a recent Tuesday, all she needed was a salesperson to provide her a good deal on her trade-in, the keys to her RX 350 SUV and a happy wave goodbye.
Thanks to the Internet, Williams had done research ahead of time and already knew what cars were available on the lot, their features, price and even ownership and mileage records. She also pre-investigated available interest rates, her credit score and, most importantly, what Nalley's competitors were offering.
"I just needed to know what you're going to give me for my trade, talk interest rates and see if they could take a little bit off the car," she said.
Williams is the epitome of the new car shopper, industry experts say. Unlike a decade ago, today's car buyers walk in the door with almost as much knowledge about what's on a lot as the sales staff. And they don't want to spend hours negotiating or being wooed into costly upgrades.
That has made it more difficult for dealerships to make the same profits of yesteryear and pushed some to change how they compensate employees. Lexus South Atlanta, for instance, switched from paying staff a traditional commission to an hourly salary plus incentives.
"The opportunity to negotiate has almost been eliminated," Sid Barron, general manager at Lexus South, said, emphasizing that this is especially true among young car buyers who don't even understand the concept of negotiating. "You have to build value."
But the industry is making up the lost revenue through stronger volume — car sales have surged since 2009 — and by capturing more of the service business. Today's cars have become so technologically complicated that independent mechanics are being cut out because they either lack the skills to repair the vehicles or cannot afford the necessary diagnostic machinery, said Rick Nelson, an analyst for research firm Stephens.
"Dealers are also getting more aggressive on pricing, such oil changes," Nelson said. "They also throw in loaner cars of the quality that customers expect."
Consumer advocates applaud the industry's openness, but advise car buyers to stay vigilant. Rebates, zero percent financing and other offers often come with strings attached, said Ellen Schloemer, a spokeswoman for the Center for Responsible Lending.
Car buyers also should first consider their banks or credit unions for financing, she said. Some dealerships get a cut of the revenue if customers agree to go through dealer-aligned loan institutions, who often charge higher interest rates.
"That is often completely invisible to the consumer," she said.
It's all a far cry from the days when salespeople of all brands — from Lexus to Honda to Ford — had the upper hand. They would walk a buyer around a lot and point out different variations of a particular model with the hope of convincing the customer to purchase a higher-priced make. The pressure would continue in the sales office with add-ons such as undercoating and interior scotch guarding.
But that era ended when dealerships realized they could improve one-on-one relationships with customers through the Internet as mobile technology allowed Americans to be online all the time. The average consumer spends 19 hours researching before a purchase, with 11.4 hours (60 percent) spent online, according to a JD Powers study.
Like all industries, dealers accumulated email lists to blast out news of bargains, new shipments and updated models to past and interested car buyers. Service departments became savvier about updating motorists on scheduled maintenance through emails.
And dealerships' efforts to gain an edge over their competitors led to more transparency about inventory and pricing, giving consumers more information than they had in the past.
As a consequence, online car shopping has almost eliminated the need to go from lot to lot searching for the right vehicle.
"Prior to 2006, customers visited an average of 4.1 dealerships before purchasing a vehicle," said Craig Monaghan, president and chief executive officer of Duluth, Minn.-based Asbury Automotive Group, the nation's fifth-largest public car dealership franchise and owner of the Nalley Automotive Group.
"Now, customers only visit an average of 1.3 dealerships prior to purchasing a vehicle," he said. "The reduction in dealership visits makes it more important than ever to meet the consumer's needs and expectations well in advance of them visiting our stores."
What consumers can't get online, they can request through email. But dealerships have to act fast. In a world where almost everyone has a smart phone and expects instant communication, a dealership's failure to respond quickly is almost the equivalent of showing a lack of interest, experts said.
"You have to get back to them in an hour or, better, less than an hour," said Steve Mader, owner and general manager of SouthTowne, a General Motors dealership in Newnan, Ga. "And you need to get back with a transaction price that is realistic and other options in case you need them."
Despite taking a hit to profits, car lot owners said they like the new, more informed customer.
"Asbury believes this upfront education is good for both the dealership and the consumer," Monaghan said. "It allows us to build an open, honest, long-term relationship. Another benefit to such an extensive amount of research beforehand is that it can lead to a quicker purchasing process, which is mutually beneficial."
Comment on this storyJennifer Williams agreed. Williams, who said she loves cars, said she upped her understanding of how the industry negotiates deals because she was burned in past purchases. Now, she often knows more than the salespeople and has little patience for staff who try to pressure her.
"I like to leave thinking that I got a good deal and that they didn't lose money," she said.

- - New saddle advice!
New saddle advice! Im looking to buy a new saddle. I show AQHA so I dont want something with a real forward flap. I want a really nice quality made saddle. I have been considering the Spooner by Antares or the Pessoa Legacy XP3 XCH. Does anyone have one of these saddles? What are your thoughts on them? Thanks! |
You're showing AQHA, so I assume you'll be doing Hunter/hunt seat on flats, hunter equitation, and not jumping, then? So you're probably looking for a well-balanced A/P saddle? Are you looking new or used, and how much are you willing to spend? If we know those things, someone may be able to suggest some other models as well, if they're not familiar with the ones you mentioned. |
Posted via Mobile Device |
1 Attachment(s) If you want a close contact saddle, try an HDR (Henri De Rivel). They're super comfortable and fit almost anything and they're not terribly expensive either. I got mine used for $500 and it's still in great condition. I use a thick-ish fleecework sheepskin pad under it and still feel close contact. Here's what mine looks like (it's a 16.5 inch). |
If you're willing to spend $3,000 for a saddle id avoid the HDR. It's not a terrible saddle for the price (although certain models are) but shell out the money for quality if you're got it. The spooner I think has a fairly forward flap. Antares is a fantastic brand though. Try their hampton classic. That's their more basic non custom model and I believe you can get one new for close to your budget. If you want something super grippy go for calfskin or buffalo. Those are definitely more (4-5000 new) but you can find one used in your range. The calfskin is beautiful and the buffalo is very very durable. Also check out Devoucoux, Delgrange, CWD, or butet (by beval) for other quality brands. Posted via Mobile Device |

– O'Neill Clothing, the original California surf, snow and youth lifestyle brand, today announced the 2nd Annual "Generation Next" fashion show in association with Teen Vogue, taking place on Friday, September 25th at 7:30pm at Seven Degrees in Laguna Beach, CA.
As part of a 6-month program based at O'Neill's headquarters in Irvine, four girls from local Southern California high schools will have the opportunity to present their unique dress and handbag designs on the runway during an exciting evening featuring O'Neill's Spring 2010 collection, music, live dance performances, prizes and more. Each Generation Next participant is competing for the ultimate award:
a design internship at O'Neill, a $2,000 education scholarship, exposure in Teen Vogue, and an O'Neill wardrobe for the entire winning team. Using the text to vote concept popularized by favorite reality shows, the winner will be determined via students' text messages. All money raised at the door will benefit Boarding for Breast Cancer, (www.b4bc.org), a non-profit, youth-focused education and fundraising foundation dedicated to increasing awareness about breast cancer, the importance of early detection, and the value of an active lifestyle.
Buzz has been building for O'Neill's Generation Next fashion event with Teen Vogue since last year's packed house and enthusiastic crowd. The program launched in February 2009, with hundreds of submissions from Teen Vogue's "It Girls" vying to be mentored by O'Neill marketing and design executives, and have the opportunity to present their designs in front of friends, family, media and industry insiders. Initial submissions were narrowed down to ten girls and then four finalists were selected: Angela Urmanita from Rowland Heights, CA; Kari Filardo of Orange, CA; Lori Ke from Lakewood, CA; and Lauren Alvarez of La Palma, CA.
O'Neill's Generation Next program was born out of a vision by the company to have interns included in the creative design process.
"We wanted to find and support aspiring young designers who are in our backyard," said Shelley Sheppard, marketing director for O'Neill. "We took this group of high school students from the beginning to the end of the fashion design process. The runway show is the program's finale, and a great way to showcase and applaud all of the hard work everyone put in over the last six months."
The Generation Next experience provided each of the finalists with hands on access to learn everything from merchandising, apparel design, graphic design, manufacturing and marketing, to ultimately creating their own runway look with the help of a fashion mentor.
"We launched Generation Next to give our young audience a chance to share their inspirations and showcase their ideas, and allow us to learn from their insights firsthand," added Toby Bost, CEO of O'Neill. "The program helps prepare young talent for a future in fashion and/or action sports, exposing them to a variety of elements by working side-by-side with O'Neill executives and influencing career opportunities early on."
In addition to the mentorship and real-world experience working in a fast-paced, high-profile action sports company, each finalist was tasked with building a marketing and promotions team of fellow students to help generate buzz and excitement for the fashion show. Savvy students are employing Facebook and Twitter to spread the word, and all participants created t-shirts, flyers and stickers to distribute throughout their school. To ensure another full house, buses will be transporting students from each school to the event location. For those unable to attend the event, it will be broadcast LIVE online at www.oneill.com and www.facebook.com/oneill.
Last year's Generation Next winner, Rebekka Schuman (San Clemente), won for "Nolita," a white island-inspired dress accented with black leather gloves for a grungy twist. Schuman is currently enrolled in fashion design school in New York and will be attending the event to congratulate this year's winner.

About O'Neill
O'Neill, the original California surf, snow and youth lifestyle brand, was founded in 1952 when a young man named Jack O'Neill took his unstoppable passion for surfing and used it to beat Mother Nature at her own game. Pioneering the world's first neoprene wetsuit, Jack had successfully found a way to extend his surf sessions in the bone-chilling breaks of Northern California. He opened up the garage doors to his first surf shop in Santa Cruz soon after.
While many things have changed since those humble beginnings, Jack's initial vision of producing functional and innovative boardriding products continues to lie at the core of everything the company does. O'Neill's core values – innovation in style and technology – have seen the brand devote itself wholeheartedly to the evolution of the action sports lifestyle. From the first ever neoprene wetsuit and surf leash, to the world's first stitchless boardshorts and range of groundbreaking wearable electronics, O'Neill's progressive spirit will always drive the company forward.

Pre-loading of students to better prepare for acute clinical settings.
Pathophysiology, and pharmacology taught with the goal of preparing students for effective assessment and management of deteriorating patients.
The focus of my research to apply an action research methodology, informed by the philosophy of John Dewey, to simulated learning experiences with the purpose of designing more effective platforms to 'reach' Millennial students (aged18-30 years in 2012). Some have argued that the educational environments in which Millennial students are prepared have not evolved sufficiently to meet the different learning styles of these students. Further, today's healthcare settings have evolved to include increasingly complex patients whose safe care demands a high level of preparation in nursing students. Furthermore, not all students experience the same types of patients/complexities in their clinical placements, thus making mandatory clinical hours an unreliable means of ensuring that all students are deemed safe and competent to practice.
While simulated environments do appeal to Millennial students who are irrevocably and unashamedly connected to technology, an action research approach of how simulation can best be designed to 'reach' Millennial students will enable the students themselves to give input into effective pedagogy.Last updated: 19-Feb-2016 11.45am

Programming Web Services With SOAP by James Snell
O'Reilly Media | Dec 15 2001 | ISBN: 0596000952 | Pages: 264 | PDF | 1.11 MB
O'Reilly Media | Dec 15 2001 | ISBN: 0596000952 | Pages: 264 | PDF | 1.11 MB
The web services architecture provides a new way to think about and implement application-to-application integration and interoperability that makes the development platform irrelevant. Two applications, regardless of operating system, programming language, or any other technical implementation detail, communicate using XML messages over open Internet protocols such as HTTP or SMTP. The Simple Open Access Protocol (SOAP) is a specification that details how to encode that information and has become the messaging protocol of choice for Web services.
Programming Web Services with SOAP is a detailed guide to using SOAP and other leading web services standards--WSDL (Web Service Description Language), and UDDI (Universal Description, Discovery, and Integration protocol). You'll learn the concepts of the web services architecture and get practical advice on building and deploying web services in the enterprise.
This authoritative book decodes the standards, explaining the concepts and implementation in a clear, concise style. You'll also learn about the major toolkits for building and deploying web services. Examples in Java, Perl, C#, and Visual Basic illustrate the principles. Significant applications developed using Java and Perl on the Apache Tomcat web platform address real issues such as security, debugging, and interoperability.
Covered topic areas include:
- The Web Services Architecture;
- SOAP envelopes, headers, and encodings;
- WSDL and UDDI;
- Writing web services with Apache SOAP and Java;
- Writing web services with Perl's SOAP::Lite;
- Peer-to-peer (P2P) web services;
- Enterprise issues such as authentication, security, and identity;
- Up-and-coming standards projects for web services;
Programming Web Services with SOAP provides you with all the information on the standards, protocols, and toolkits you'll need to integrate information services with SOAP. You'll find a solid core of information that will help you develop individual Web services or discover new ways to integrate core business processes across an enterprise.

Hah! You thought I'd disappeared!
You will remember that I was having problems with the alpha version (whatever happened to the Beta?) trying to compare a backup with a live database. It was a simple database with just two million rows of nicely indexed data. It didn't go well.
I re-ran the test on the released version, and on another machine. It finished it this time. The initial tab, showing what tables to match, took over an hour on a dual core Conroe with 1 Gig core (I didn't hang about with a stopwatch) and I had to leave the actual Data Compare process to run overnight. In the morning, there is was, finished.
Whilst running the test, I hit a bizarre problem where it kept timimg out on trying to connect to my test SQL Server 2000 server, only on one workstation and only on the left-hand pane. It worked happily on the right-hand pane.

Top 5 Friday: Top 5 First Person Shooters Pages PREV 1 2 3 4 NEXT | |
You had me at Half Life, but then lost me forever when you specified Half Life 2. | |
If I have learned something of this, it is that people miss "Top 5 with Lisa Foiles". Because she was, you know, funny. | |
True, but these kinds of lists pop up in the gaming discussion forums all the time. I just think it's a little bit pointless to post up a vid announcing for example the 'top 5 RPGs' when a casual look at the first couple of pages in the GD forums will throw up multiple threads on exactly the same subject. | |
Whilst I think this weeks Top 5 was much better than last time I kind of agree with these guys: I sort of feel like the show needs to decide between whether it wants to be zany or in-depth. So far I don't think this video series is for me but it can't hurt the Escapist to have variety to appeal to more people so lets be nice. Sometimes we do take our games too seriously. Also: I wholeheartedly agree. | |
Did you and I just watch the same video? The one I just watched only had two military shooters and one of those was not "modern". | |
My personal 5 FPS of all times just has to include the following: - Half Life 1: most people tend to forget just how revolutionary that game was. - Stalker: immersive gameplay at its best - Star Wars Jedi Knight 1: although a bit unfair since it also has RPG elements, had some of the best level design I've ever seen and some of the most furious firefights. - Call of Duty 1: Stalingrad forever... Russian Campaign, Pavlov building. Also the Kar98... Nuf' said. Top spot - No One Lives Forever 2: also probably the best game ever made. The only problem with nostalgic titles such as these is that anyone who NOW plays them for the first time will think "wtf?!". Poor sods... | |
Honestly I didn't mind this top 5 at all and you know why?. Because it was subjective and I'm fine with him having his say unlike the rest of you on here who spout the same games and the same crap over and over and even then if he isn't calling your favourite game then it somehow amounts to heresy and loses all credibility which I think is just plain disgusting and utterly childish. Seriously give the guy a fucking chance and stop whining and bitching over it and just grow up for once and let the man have his say without kicking him off the site. | |
To be fair you didn't really need to say that lame joke just like how many of you say this top 5 guy doesn't deserve to be on the Escapist. Most of the time intellectual discussion does on here is about how crap something is and how it can be improved through personal opinion and subjective views rather than accepting something and maybe then giving an unbiased way to improve something. That and this forum tosses around enough insults to fuel a world war let alone lacking proper intellectual discussion because most that goes on here is always "PC is superior!, consoles are crap and for casual plebs!". Just for once be the better man and brush it off and walk on or at the very least engage in intellectual talk. | |
What did he mean by "hoping there's a CS2"? Counter-strike GO is the third installment of the series... | |
The whole idea of my rage enfueled bender was to keep the thread ON TOPIC, its enough of Youtube comments being off topic. | |
Even if you did care nothing's changed. His top 5 haven't done a thing at all but enable you to use the get mad card. You know I could easily take all the mockery that's being spouted right now as utterly childish and want to punch everyone right now to pipe them down but you know I took it with a grain of salt and don't need to feel like smashing sense. Yes I know exactly what you mean and talk about but that does not warrant spouting utter nonsense. Unless of course you're willing to have the Escapist hire you and then you appear on the screen and do a better job or face complete mockery yourself. And besides you yourself and everyone else here let alone me know what was defined anyway so really you knew the answer all along. | |
Maybe some staff can clear this up for me, is this being posted elsewhere as well or had it moved here exclusively? If it's being posted in multiple places and isn't unique to the escapist now then whatever, it probably works for its current audience. If, however, it has moved here, and is only being posted here I have some constructive criticism. 1. Last week we were assumed to know the cast, we don't. That is silly. 2. Know your audience. I don't know exactly how many posts have called you out on it but a) Misusing literally, and b) Claiming that FPS is the most played genre (What about MOBA's and MMORPG's? LoL is the most played game on the planet. It is not an FPS.). I think making more carefully worded statements might go down a little better. Especially when semi-praising one of the genres which is less popular recently among snooty videogame elitists (which is the general demographic of this website, whether we acknowledge it or not.) I really think a few episodes which are formatted differently (to allow us as an audience to know who you are and why we shoudl care) would go down well. | |
You're going to go the "I'd like to see you do better," route? Seriously? Because not having your own web show where you do a better job presenting the content your criticizing means someone can't have an opinion on how well or how poorly someone else did it? Give me a break. Second, simply hand waving someone's argument as utter nonsense rather than refuting it is one of the weakest forms of rebuttal imaginable. I'd comment on the rest of your post, but honestly, much of it was pretty much incomprehensible. Particularly your apparently taking criticism of someone elses video personally, and your last sentence which literally makes no sense. Now if you'd like to defend this guys list, feel free. But how about addressing some of the criticism instead of basically just saying "it's his list lol, he can do what he wants." I don't think anyone would refute that he can do what he wants, but I do think a lot of people would like to see some more worth while discourse being created by the content creators on the Escapist. | |
Then quoting me was a massive waste of time along with shoving words in my mouth. I never said anyone couldn't offer some criticism but instead if you're going to offer some at least be adult about it rather than devolving into calling the show "shit", "he's got no fucking clue" because in the end that really does nothing to help him in any way shape or form but insult. I'd also like to note that quoting me again would result in another waste of time because I already know what's mostly been commented on this thread isn't 100% valid criticism. Unless of course you're one of those people that like to endlessly argue to get the last word because I'm pretty much done on this thread. | |
Half-Life 2 is a solid game, but it's also *easily* the second most over-rated game in history behind Call of Duty 4. It's narrative was well-told through the gameplay, and the gravity gun was fun the first time around. Apart from that, though? The gameplay itself was boring, 90's FPS-affair that had already started to go obsolete by the time Half-Life 2 rolled around (and I'm sorry, fellow PC-gamers, but I NEVER found that kind of gameplay fun in the least), the story was pretty weak (though well-suited to a game), and the atmosphere of the game just never resonated with me in the way a lot of other games have. As for my list? In no particular order: - Portal (if we're counting this as an FPS): easily one of the most well-designed games of all time, and a blast to play through. This is one game that actually deserves the massive amount of praise it gets. - Team Fortress 2: TF2 has been nerfed a bit because of some of the new weapons, but it remains another one of the most well-designed games ever made, and is probably the best multiplayer shooter of all time. The visual style and atmosphere are striking, the mechanics are incredibly well balanced, and (with the obvious exception of 2Fort) the map design is superb. - Halo: Combat Evolved: the more recent installments have muddied up the franchise a bit (though I still enjoy them), but the original was a game with incredibly deep gameplay given how simple it was. The art style was imaginative, the story was engaging and nicely self-contained while containing a fair amount of back-story (think A New Hope), and it was the first time anyone made an FPS that worked as well with a controller as it did with a mouse and keyboard. - Mirror's Edge: Another one I'm not sure you'd count as an FPS, Mirror's Edge featured a functional but mediocre story and fun but sometimes temperamental gameplay. So why did I like it so much? Because I've never played another game with such incredible atmosphere. For how short the game is (you can easily beat it in 2-3 hours if you run all the way through it), I've gotten an insane amount of replay out of it by slowing down and soaking in all the different the environments. Mirror's Edge is actually a contender for my favorite game of all time just for this reason. - Far Cry 3: Admittedly, it might just be because I'm still addicted to post-game at the moment, but Far Cry 3 is a ton of fun. It takes everything that was fun about Far Cry 2 (which I also had a blast with) and ramps it up to 11. My only gripe was the fact that once you clear out the islands, there's very little to do, but I discovered a simple hex-edit mod which restored the islands to their pirate-infested state. That said, the fact that cleared outposts stay cleared does give a nice sense of progress that you never got in Far Cry 2, and for that I put Far Cry 3 on the list. Honorable mentions that would probably be included in a top ten list: - The Brothers in Arms franchise | |
But dude I didn't stop at "His show is shit and this guy is a doofus" if I did then that would be fair and I'd agree but you're avoiding the fact I did explain why I said that and so far the clear majority of people that have commented have not been happy about this show. Also I'm not mad... I'm a guy sitting at work with 15 minutes to spare here and there and with much bigger things to be pissed off about then the featured content creators of the Escapist. | |
I know what you explained before on the first page but again you didn't need to resort to shit and "paying him a penny" because really that just comes off as crude and not even worth giving a chance. Are we really going to go at this all day?. | |
I feel like I really need to try FarCry 3. Having not played the first two, would I be missing out to jump in at the third installment? Also, that shirt design is awesome, I want to know where he got it. | |
The three games are not connected in any way, shape, or form. You can play the third one with no worry. | |
Ummmm i feel everyone on the escapist should be given their own video segment.Like all of us.I want mine to be "Here's my generic opinion on Generic stuff".Oh wait! That's already what this awful segment and the god damn awful jimquisition does. | |
Thanks :) | |
Goldeneye 64 really doesn't hold up very well today, but it's still fun going through the single player. Even if the graphics are blocky by today's standards. Plus the music rocks! | |
I'm curious, what makes the Jimquisition "god damn awful?" OT: I, uh... don't really have to much to say. It was an alright video I suppose, but nothing worth deliberating on. | |
You're fine, the FarCry games are about as disconnected as you can get while sill feeling like part of the same franchise (especially the first one from the second two). Apparently they take place in the same universe, but you'd never know it from just playing the games. Basically the only thing they have in common are free-roaming environments (though the first one wasn't *completely* free-roaming), an emphasis on stealth tactics (especially the first and third ones), and hang gliders. Hang gliders everywhere. | |

Amazing game and is responsible to the huge amount of players who continue to buy the game yearly. Not a single CoD game has measured up since (my opinion) and it was amazingly easy to use and play. Get rid of all the stupid killstreaks and give me back UAV, Airstrike, and Helicopter. Also: Either grow the beard or shave it off. You look like a rapist with that creepy pseudo-haired look you've got going. Really not impressed with this addition to Escapist Videos... | |
No Metroid Prime? RAGE!!! | |
Unreal Tournament 2004 is hands down my favorite. Borderlands is the only runner-up to it. (Though Quake 3 and its Team Arena) were awesome. | |
That guy didn't sound like he knew what he was talking about. | |
That makes perfect sense. I knew it was a smosh product (feature?) I just wasn't sure if this was it's sole home now. Being a duplicate post makes perfect sense. They're probably better off sticking with what they do, keeping their current fans happy and possibly picking a few up here too; rather than trying to retool a currently working formula in the hopes of appealing to this site's demographic. | |

7pm :: Group Stories Quintet w/ Mark Patterson, Dale Bruning & Ron Miles :: $15
featuring: mark patterson - trombone ron miles - cornet dale bruning - guitar mark simon - bass paul romaine - drums
Trombonist Mark Patterson brings his unique Group Stories Quintet back to Dazzle. The Quintet plays music written especially for the group, including a suite, The Man With the Blue Guitar, commissioned by the Lamont School of Music and titled after the (eponymous) Wallace Stevens poem. This group treads balances gracefully, combining group interplay, the intimacy of improvisation, and a deep sense of swing to open a wide eye in the search for beauty. This is a group of storytellers that "dwells in possibility."
The musical connections among the Quintet players in run deep. Dale was an early teacher of Mark's, both in many nights on the bandstand (with the great tenor saxophonist Spike Robisnon, who also featured Mark's father, Dick Patterson, on bass), and in Dale's studio during certain daylight hours. Mark, Paul, and Ron have played together since they were teenagers, notably in a small group at the University of Denver which had occasion to record at the infamous Caribou Ranch. Kent was featured in another of Mark's quartets at Dazzle, and has a long and creative association with Ron. Dale and Ron had an outstanding trio association (with bassist Paul Warburton). The musical associations of the Quintet's players are equally deep, running the gamut from Dizzy Gillespie to Bill Frisell.

Some of my people have speculated about such things for a long time, but now it is official: it has been medically, clinically diagnosed that I have a screw loose. Perhaps regular readers will be less than shocked to hear this.
This comes from a doctor at the Fayette Memorial Hospital in Connersville, IN. I was following up last week on some recent medical unpleasantness, including getting x-rays. The doc suggested that a metal screw in my leg from years ago is "loose," which would supposedly explain other problems.
"You've got a screw loose." This was the direct quote.
The best part was that she was saying it totally straight. She apparently had no idea that she was saying anything funny, and certainly hadn't engineered the explanation of her diagnosis to be humorous.
Dr Maddali would appear to be from India. She speaks very good English, but seemed unaware of the idiomatic English usage of "loose screw."
Idiomatic language that seems simple to natives will throw off foreigners learning the language. They're just weird usages that are buried so deeply into the culture that natives simply absorb them one by one over a period of years growing up. It would probably take an immigrant that long to pick them up, even a smart doctor like Ms Maddali.
Gummed up idiomatic usage of language works both ways, making people sound odd in their second language by shoehorning in non-applicable uses of the old language. As a high school Spanish student, I once confused and then annoyed poor Señora Sun by saying in my Kentuckian version of Spanish that "John is trying to get into Mary's pants." This getting-into-pants usage apparently doesn't translate.
Nor did Señora Sun think I was making any sense explaining in Kentuckian Spanish that "The man from Mars is through with cars and through with bars, and now he only eats guitars." The freshmen, however, thought I was very clever. "El senor de Mars esta comienda la guitarras." Think how that would have sounded to you if you were a Phillipino immigrant school teacher in a rural Hoosier school, and had no idea what a Blondie was. Oy.
Going to college the next year in Santa Fe, I was not entirely surprised that none of the locals understood a word of my alleged Spanish. Por que no fumamos las drugas juntos ahora?! Damn that Tower of Babel!
Anyway, thinking about the peculiarities of our idiomatic language constitutes a very useful mental exercise just as learning other languages does in a bigger way by helping us to see the connection between language and thought. So much of the content of our thinking comes from the forms of the language software we think through that have meanings inherent. For a real simple example, Ayn Rand was very fond of what she regarded as the very American idea of "making money," as the phrase implies a creative rather than merely re-distributive process.
This week, the orthopedic surgeon dismissed the "loose screw" therapy- which is good. Then again, maybe Dr Wurtz just doesn't know me well enough.

I have been interested in photography for many years, but never go into it in a concentrated way such that my quality improved much. The immediacy of digital photography has certainly helped with that and hopefully I will get close to what I see on this site. The quality across EPZ is so high it is almost daunting to post pictures here but I guess getting feedback is the only way to improve.

Urbizu's cop drama takes six kudos
MADRID — Enrique Urbizu's noirish cop drama "No Rest for the Wicked" won six prizes Sunday night at the 26th Spanish Academy Goya Awards, including film, director, original screenplay and actor for Jose Coronado.
Best actress went to Elena Anaya for Pedro Almodovar's "The Skin I Live In," which also took breakthrough actor (Jan Cornet) original music (Alberto Iglesias) and makeup. Spain's Academy Awards were spread more evenly than at any Goya kudosfest in recent years, which could be seen as a sign of the quality of competing pics. "No Rest" portrays police ineptitude in the run up to Madrid's 2004 terrorist bombing. Produced by Telecinco Cinema and Lazona, it's Urbizu's comeback after an eight-year hiatus. Pic cumed a standout $5.4 million B.O. in Spain, distributed by WB. An autumnal Western starring Sam Shepard, Mateo Gil's "Blackthorn" won four Goyas, including cinematography (Juan Antonio Ruiz Anchia). Maria Leon, who won actress at September's San Sebastian Festival, picked up the breakthrough perf Goya for her role in Benito Zambrano's "The Sleeping Voice." Spain's first robot film, "Eva," won three Goyas, including first-time director for Kike Maillo. In perhaps the biggest surprise of the night, Ignacio Ferreras' senior citizen buddy comedy "Wrinkles" nabbed not only best toon but also adapted screenplay — beating Almodovar's "Skin." Awaiting new subsidy regs and the introduction of anti-piracy legislation, local movie production is currently marking time. Just eight shoots have been announced for the first two months of 2012, 80% down on the 39 for the same period in 2011. Spanish Academy prexy Enrique Gonzalez Macho called on the new Popular Party government to clarify its financial support for the local film industry. He also lamented that, as yet, "the Internet does not form an economic part of Spanish cinema." And the winners are: FILM "No Rest for the Wicked," Lazona, Telecinco Cinema, Manto Films ACTRESS Elena Anaya, "The Skin I Live In" ACTOR Jose Coronado, "No Rest for the Wicked" DIRECTOR Enrique Urbizu, "No Rest for the Wicked" EUROPEAN FILM "The Artist" (Michel Hazanavicius, France) FOREIGN SPANISH-LANGUAGE FILM "Chinese Take-Away" (Sebastian Borensztein, Argentina, Spain) SUPPORTING ACTRESS Ana Wagener, "The Sleeping Voice" SUPPORTING ACTOR Lluis Homar, "Eva" ORIGINAL SCREENPLAY Enrique Urbizu, Michel Gaztambide, "No Rest for the Wicked" ADAPTED SCREENPLAY Angel de la Cruz, Ignacio Ferreras, Paco Roca, Rosanna Cecchini, "Wrinkles" CINEMATOGRAPHY Juan Antonio Ruiz Anchia, "Blackthorn" ORIGINAL SCORE Alberto Iglesias, "The Skin I Live In" BREAKTHROUGH PERFORMANCE, ACTOR Jan Cornet, "The Skin I Live In" BREAKTHROUGH PERFORMANCE, ACTRESS Maria Leon, "The Sleeping Voice" FIRST-TIME DIRECTOR Kike Maillo, "Eva" LIVE-ACTION SHORT FILM Fernando Trullols, "El barco pirata" ANIMATED SHORT FILM Pedro Rivero, Alberto Vazquez Rico, "Birdboy" DOCUMENTARY SHORT Pedro Gonzalez Bermudez, "Regreso a Viridiana" COSTUME DESIGN Clara Bilbao, "Blackthorn" ART DIRECTION Juan Pedro de Gaspar, "Blackthorn" EDITING Pablo Blanco, "No Rest for the Wicked" SOUND Marcos de Oliveira, Nacho Royo-Villanueva, "No Rest for the Wicked" MAKEUP AND HAIR DESIGN Karmele Soler, David Marti, Manolo Carretero, "The Skin I Live" SPECIAL EFFECTS Arturo Balseiro, Lluis Castells, "Eva" LINE PRODUCTION Andres Santana, "Blackthorn" ORIGINAL SONG "Nana de la hierbabuena," Carmen Agredano, "The Sleeping Voice" DOCUMENTARY "Listening to Judge Garzon," Miss Wasabi Lab S.L.

The Leopard
As Jo Nesbo's The Leopard
opens, Harry Hole is living deep inside the bowels of Hong Kong and trying to
avoid the gangland creditors who badly want to catch up with him. In the meantime, Harry is well on his way to
committing suicide by alcohol and opium abuse.
But, just in the nick of time for Harry, Norway has a new serial killer
on her hands, one that will rival even Harry's previous adversary, The Snowman,
for creative killing. His old department
needs Harry's talents - and he has to be found and convinced to do battle with Norway's
latest incarnation of pure evilness.
The Leopard is a
grim, disturbing book that sometimes goes over the top before Nesbo decides to
dial it back to a more believable level, but the picture he paints of a
worldwide underground of pure evilness is unforgettable. The uncorrected proof I read was 513 pages
long, plenty of time for Nesbo to expose the underbellies of Hong Kong, Norway,
and Africa, and he does so with great gusto.
As the body count rises, the book's plot becomes more and more
complicated, and the investigation becomes more and more personal for
Readers unsure as to whether they are ready for the level of
violence and brutality of The Leopard
should read its first chapter before investing in a copy of their own. This little four-page chapter forewarns the
potential reader by perfectly setting the tone for the rest of the book. In addition, the beginning of the second
chapter offers insight into the mind of this particular killer when Nesbo
allows him to speak in the first person:
"For my part, I believe that the ability to
kill is fundamental to any healthy person.
Our existence is a fight for gain, and whoever cannot kill his neighbor
has no right to an existence. Killing
is, after all, only hastening the inevitable.
Death allows no exceptions, which is good, because life is pain and
suffering. In that sense, every murder
is an act of charity."
I do have one suggestion for readers unfamiliar with Nordic
proper names. The Leopard is a long, complicated novel that makes reference to
dozens of character and place names. Many,
if not most, North American readers will quickly become confused by the names
thrown at them (they simply do not stick) – and, when those names show up later
in the book, these readers will find it near impossible to place them in their
proper context to what has previously occurred.
I have to admit to even being confused as to the gender of some of the
names I faced. My suggestion: start a
simple little list or chart of character names that can be referred back to as
you read the book. I do wish I had
followed my own advice. Next time.

A Western-themed event to benefit Miracle Flight for Kids will take place Friday, Jan. 23, at Findlay Cadillac Saab in the Valley Automall.
Slated from 6-9 p.m. at the dealership situated at Gibson Road and Auto Show Drive, the Big Bar-B-Q Bash will be hosted by prominent television personality John Daly. Entertainment will be provided by Nashville's popular Mason Dixon Band.
A silent auction will include an '09 Cadillac CTS along with an organ from Keith Jorgensen's Music Center, to name a few. Floor entertainment will include a quick draw demonstration and a balloon artist. All monies raised from the event will be given to Miracle Flights for Kids.
Miracle Flights for Kids was founded in Southern Nevada by Las Vegan Ann McGee, who made it her goal to provide life-saving flights to ill children in need of medical aid hundreds of miles from their homes.
"We have so many sick kids," said McGee, who has lived in Las Vegas for 25 years. "There are children who are dying and we need to help them in any way we can. This event is a wonderful way to accomplish just that and we are so appreciative to Findlay Cadillac Saab for hosting the event."
Since its inception, Miracle Flights for Kids has logged more than 29 million miles helping sick children. The nonprofit organization was founded in 1985. Any child needing medical treatment or seeking out a second opinion not available in their own hometown is eligible to apply for a miracle mission.
Local 3-year-old Charlotte Bottha of Henderson, who suffers from short bowel syndrome, was flown to Boston Children's Hospital last year and received a second opinion that saved her young life.
For more information about the event, call Miracle Flights for Kids at 261-0494.
Findlay Cadillac Saab is part of the Findlay Automotive Group of dealerships founded more than 47 years ago by the late Pete Findlay, whose son, Cliff, now spearheads new- and used-car dealerships in Nevada, Utah, Arizona and Idaho. John Saksa is the general manager of Findlay Cadillac Saab.
