Again we welcome Heather's dh, Matt, for Guest Wednesday.
As a non-tech person, I am generally confused by the various terminology used on a regular basis by those who are tech people. But I am trying to learn. One of these terms is LATCH, which must be really important because it's in all caps. I understand the importance of words in all caps. Like me sitting on the couch on the weekend and watching the NFL or the NBA or why don't the kids go play in the STREET but watch out for CARS and while you're at it go get the MAIL.

WASHINGTON (AP) - In the battle against obesity, just about everything is on the table, from creating healthier kids' meals to nagging people to exercise.
Specialists meeting in Washington on Tuesday are looking for a blueprint on reducing America's weight problem as they debate what strategies should be a priority.
Just over a third of adults are obese. A government-funded study suggests that by 2030, 42 percent will be. That's not nearly as many as experts once predicted, before years of the rapid rise in obesity rates began leveling off. But Americans aren't getting thinner either.
Experts are looking beyond government policies to unusual partners. Frozen vegetable maker Birds Eye, for instance, is beginning a $6 million campaign to encourage kids to eat their veggies.

Black Keys Experience Fans Flashing Them for First Time Ever
The Black Keys have logged 54 shows already this year, and they're only halfway through their planned tour schedule in support of 'El Camino.' There are plenty of festival dates — such as Catalpa in New York, Firefly in Delaware, Lollapalooza in Chicago and Austin City Limits — on the horizon. Despite all that current and future touring, drummer Patrick Carney reveals that the band was flashed by a fan for the very first time while on their current run of dates.
"The weirdest thing that's happened on this tour is it's the first time we've ever experienced women flashing us," the rhythm keeper tells Rolling Stone. There's a first time for everything, and fans tend to let loose at a rock show. Carney also reveals that the flashing took place in the Great White North.
"Only in Canada, though," he says. "It only happens in Canada." He also admits there is no obvious reason for the lack of U.S. females flashing he and bandmate Dan Auerbach, saying, "I don't know what's different up there. But it's really far. You kind of feel like that shouldn't be happening."
Carney doesn't mind being flashed, simply because "I can't see it. I didn't even have my glasses on. But my drum tech will tell me what's going on."
It appears flashing is not the best way to nab Patrick Carney's attention, though. The fastest way to his heart is through his belly. "The best way to catch my attention is to throw a Twinkie near my face," he jokes. "I don't know. The only way to catch my attention really is if my monitor goes out or if something really f—ed up happens onstage."
Carney actually had something really messed up happen to him as a kid involving a stage, only he wasn't on it. He went to see indie rock icon Jon Spencer at 16. He left a tape he made with friends on the stage, next to the rocker's mic stand, by the pedal board. But Spencer wasn't appreciative of the gift. "He pulled it out with his foot, kicked it to the center of the stage, looked me in the eye and stomped it to pieces," Carney recalls. "I can still see his white loafers and satin pants coming down on the f—ing tape." That one left a mark.
Even so, Carney has crossed paths with Spencer since, when the Keys opened for him. "I didn't bring it up, though," he says. Interestingly enough, Spencer would probably be the one opening for the Black Keys at this point!
In other Keys news, the band is headed to the studio in July. "We don't know when we'll be done but we're starting it in July," he says. "We might not finish it until March since we have to tour so much but we'll see. We don't know what's going on. After July, we'll be able to know how long it'll take."

Police: Son arrested after attacking dad with cookie cake
HAUGHTON, La. —
A 44-year-old Haughton man is facing charges after deputies say he hit his father with a cookie cake.
Bossier Parish Sheriff's spokesman Lt. Bill Davis says Kenneth Fulmer got into an argument with a neighbor over a dog on Monday, which was also his birthday.
While Fulmer went out for drinks, Davis says his 77-year-old father went out and bought him a cookie cake for his birthday.
When Fulmer returned home drunk, Davis says he got into an argument with his father and attacked him with the cookie cake.
Fulmer was booked on charges of simple battery of the infirmed and disturbing the peace.
It was unclear whether Fulmer has an attorney.

Confidence among U.S. homebuilders held in January at the highest level in more than six years, offering the latest evidence that residential real estate will help spur economic growth.
The National Association of Home Builders/Wells Fargo index of builder confidence was 47, matching December's reading as the highest since April 2006, the Washington-based group reported today. The median forecast of 50 economists projected a reading of 48.
Stronger sales and affordable borrowing costs are driving traffic for lenders such as Wells Fargo & Co. Climbing property values and household formation may continue to underpin progress in returning residential real estate to pre-recession levels.
"Fundamentals indicate continued momentum in housing this year," NAHB Chief Economist David Crowe said in a statement. "However, persistently tight mortgage credit conditions, difficulties in obtaining accurate appraisals and the ongoing stalemate in Washington over critical economic concerns continue to impede the housing recovery."
Estimates in the Bloomberg survey ranged from 46 to 50. The index, first published in January 1985, averaged 54 in the five years leading to the recession that began in December 2007. It reached a record low of 8 in January 2009.
The builders group's index of present single-family home sales held at 51 in January. A measure of sales expectations for the next six months fell to 49 from 50. A gauge of buyer traffic climbed to 37, the highest since April 2006, from 36.
Survey Methodology
The confidence survey asks builders to characterize current sales as "good," "fair" or "poor" and gauge prospective buyers' traffic. It also asks participants about the outlook for the next six months. A reading below 50 means more respondents reported poor conditions. The main index hasn't been above that line since April 2006.
Confidence among builders rose in two of four regions, led by the surge in the West, which reached the highest level since June 2006. The South reached the break-even 50 level, while sentiment fell in the Northeast and Midwest.
Cheaper borrowing costs are attracting home buyers who have adequate credit. The average rate on a 30-year fixed purchase loan was 3.40% in the week ended Jan. 10, compared to 3.89% a year ago, according to McLean, Virginia-based Freddie Mac.
Lenders such as San Francisco-based Wells Fargo are benefitting from an increase in homebuyer traffic as the housing market that triggered the recession is showing further signs of healing.
'Steady Rebound'
"The housing market began a steady rebound during 2012," Chief Executive Officer John Stumpf said on a Jan. 11 conference call. "While many measures of activity and prices remain low by historical standards and a complete recovery will still take some time, there is no doubt that a corner was turned."
A Commerce Department report tomorrow might show that housing starts climbed in December to the highest since July 2008 after easing in the prior month. Builders broke ground on houses at an annual rate of 890,000 last month, up from 861,000 in November, according to the Bloomberg survey median.

The day after a wildly bearish Energy Information Administration supply report showed that crude supplies are at the highest level for this time of year in 82 years, refinery runs are at a six-year high for this time of year showing refiners are ahead of schedule going into the summer driving season, central banks and economic data in U.S. piled on to one of the most significant sell-off events this year. First it was the bank of Japan that caused a run on the yen and a surge in the dollar by announcing an almost radical bond buying program that would double the amount of Japanese yen in circulation. The flight to the dollar was curtailed a bit by a level headed European Central Banker Mario Draghi who did not seem to get into a tit for tat with the Japanese central bank and resisted the urge to escalate the possibility of a currency war. Draghi suggested that despite recent weak economic data, the Eurozone economy would improve later this year reducing the chance for a ECB rate cut, giving the euro a boost and taking away some of the dollar panic buying.
Still the Japanese action overall was a pall hanging over the bulk of the commodities markets. The dollar and the U.S. Treasuries have regained their stature as the world's safe haven status perhaps for the first time since the early days of the financial crisis in October of 2007. This has come at the expense of the gold market, which had reclaimed its historic safe haven role during the crisis signaling that at least for now, the market believes that the United States economy is the safest in the world and the action on U.S. bonds has them acting like our debt is Triple A Rated. Don't tell that to S&P.
The downside of course is that our exports will be more expensive and we are seeing that play out in the grains and meat markets. Japan is a major importer of meats and grains and now ours are less competitive on the global market. For grain markets we have to add the worries surrounding bird flu and the fear that it could reduce Chinese demand for feed.
It could also hurt our manufacturing sector that was slowing in the last ISM report and reduce our demand for energy. So now the oil traders will look to today's jobs report to try to gauge their demand expectations.
The Energy Report has been beating the drum on natural gas and as Bloomberg News reports natural gas has been a top performer as gas gained 20% in the first quarter, the top performer on the Standard & Poor's GSCI index of 24 commodities, after showing the worst return a year earlier. Gas hasn't posted such a strong start to a year since 2008, when prices jumped 35% to $10.10 per million Btu after unusually cold weather depleted supplies
Even before the Energy Information Administration natural gas storage report, Bloomberg news wrote, "The U.S. may face the lowest natural gas supplies for the start of any heating season since 2008 this fall after cold weather drained stockpiles, sending prices up in the three months through March for the first time in five years."
Bloomberg reasons that, "Gas for near-term delivery on the New York Mercantile Exchange climbed faster than supplies for later months, limiting the incentive to put the fuel into storage for use next winter. Buying gas based on May futures to sell in October earned 10.4 cents per million British thermal units at the end of March, down 77% from 44.3 cents for comparable contracts a year earlier, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. The narrower spread between spring and fall gas prices has reduced the incentive to store the fuel to meet demand next winter, when consumption peaks." The spread between May and October contracts is the narrowest for this time of year since 2004. Storage companies and pipelines increase stockpiles during the warm-weather months to ensure adequate supplies to meet winter heating demand."

(By Denis Greenan).
Genoa, January 3 - Three top policemen have been
placed under house arrest to serve the remainder of their
sentences for Italy's most notorious case of police brutality, a
bloody raid on anti-globalisation protesters sleeping in a
school at the 2001 Group of Eight summit in Genoa.
In the night assault on the Diaz school, hundreds of police
attacked about 100 activists and a few journalists, seriously
injuring 61 - three critically and one, British journalist Mark
Covell, in a coma with rib and spinal injuries.
Officers planted evidence including two Molotov cocktails
and hammers and knives from a nearby construction site to
justify the raid.
Amnesty International called the event "the most serious
suspension of democratic rights in a Western country since the
Second World War".
The three, including the former No.3 in the Italian police
force, Francesco Gratteri, and the ex-head of the Digos
anti-terrorism police in Genoa, Spartaco Mortola, received
custodial sentences which were never enforced, like all the
other police convicted.
They will now serve the remaining year of their terms at
home and may see it cut for good behaviour.
The trio, also including retired former inspector Giovanni
Luperi, had appeals to do the time performing community service
turned down.
"Better late than never," said Vittorio Agnoletto,
spokesman for the Genoa Social Forum, an anti-globalisation
group bunking at the school whose peaceful protests were
hijacked by violent anarchists during three days of mayhem that
saw a protester shot dead by a policeman he was attacking.
"After almost 13 years, three of the highest-ranking
policemen have been arrested for the 'Mexican butchery' of that
night at the Diaz school in July 2001," Agnoletto said.
"All through the long years of the trials, while they were
being investigated, their careers dizzily progressed from
promotion to promotion with the OK of successive governments and
the silence of parliament.
"No one in the police or in government ever felt the need,
even after the first-instance and appeals verdicts, to remove
them from their posts," said Agnoletto, who is among those
convinced much of the violence was fomented by agents
Officials have repeatedly rejected appeals for a
parliamentary inquiry into the July 2001 G8 summit violence, the
raid and the subsequent brutal mistreatment of protesters,
including rape threats, at a Genoa barracks.
The incidents are depicted in the acclaimed 2012 film Diaz
- Don't Clean Up This Blood.
The national police chief at the time, Gianni De Gennaro,
was appointed head of State-controlled defence and aerospace
giant Finmeccanica last summer.
De Gennaro, who ordered the raid to redeem the image of a
police force that took a battering during the days of anarchy,
was cleared of making subordinates commit perjury.
De Gennaro was the only ranking officer to escape nominal
Several foreign governments voiced concern as details began
to come out.
Echoing the Italian government immediately after the raid,
before the truth about the police action emerged, a spokesman
for British prime minister Tony Blair said: "The Italian police
had a difficult job to do. The prime minister believes that they
did that job".

Will the binoculars ever go away? You can be sure when Colorado comes to Philadelphia on July 23 it will be brought up again. Why?
This comes from The Associated Press:
DENVER — Rockies manager Jim Tracy is still fuming over the Philadelphia Phillies using binoculars in the bullpen.
Before Colorado played Washington Thursday, Tracy took exception to a comment he read in which Phillies manager Charlie Manuel was quoted as saying "keep crying."
Tracy said: "We don't cry here. I want to make that clear right now. We work very hard."
The Phillies insisted Wednesday they weren't trying to steal signs when bullpen coach Mick Billmeyer was caught on camera peering through binoculars from the bullpen bench at Coors Field on Monday.
Asked what he considered crossing the lines in baseball, Tracy said, "using binoculars, that's crossing the line."

Climate differs widely within Asia. In boreal Asia, the climate generally is
humid and cool; it is classified as continental type. Permafrost covers as much
as 90% of boreal Asia. An average annual mean increase in surface air temperature
of about 2.9°C in the past 100 years has been observed in boreal Asia. Warming
was more pronounced during the period 1951-1995 in all of boreal Asia region
except for the coast of the Arctic Ocean and Chukotka (Rankova, 1998). The mean
surface air temperature increase is most pronounced in the winter, at a rate
of approximately 4.4°C over the past 100 years (Gruza et al., 1997). Summer
temperatures in central Siberia have exhibited decreasing trends, however.
The climate of arid and semi-arid Asia is the warm temperate type, with hot
and wet or dry summers. The highest value of DTR (on the order of 20°C)
is experienced in this region. A mean maximum temperature of >45°C in
July is not uncommon in some parts of arid Asia. In most of the Middle East,
the long time series of surface air temperature shows a warming trend. An increasing
tendency in spatially averaged seasonal and annual air temperatures has been
observed in Kazakhstan over the past century. Maximal warming has occurred in
spring. The mean annual surface temperature has risen by about 1.3°C during
1894-1997 (Pilifosova et al., 1997); in the arid regions of China, air
temperature has obviously increased since the 1970s (Chen, 1995). In Pakistan,
annual mean surface temperature has a consistent rising trend since the beginning
of 20th century (Chaudhari, 1994).
In temperate Asia, the average annual mean surface temperature in Mongolia
has increased by approximately 0.7°C over the past 50 years; consequently,
noticeable changes have taken place in the length of the cold and warm seasons
(Khuldorj et al., 1998). Surface temperature in northeast China has increased
in winter but decreased in summer since 1905 (Ren and Zhou, 1994; Ren, 1998);
observations also reveal a 1-2°C decrease in temperature in some parts
of southeastern China. In Japan, the surface air temperature has shown a warming
trend during the past century (Yoshino, 1998a; Japan Meteorological Agency,
Tropical Asia has a unique climatological distinction because of the pervasive
influence of the monsoon. In tropical Asia, climate uniformity is differentiated
by three factors: latitude, relief, and continentality. The entire tropical
Asia region stretches over 38° in latitude, so the differences resulting
from this factor are pronounced. In spite of some differences, the climates
of countries have one factor in common: The Asian monsoon modulates them all
to a large extent. For countries near the Equator, only small seasonal variations
occur, although most countries in this region experience clearly marked cold
and warm seasons. The spatial range of temperature in this region is significantly
large during winter. Extreme temperatures of over 45°C occur over the northwest
part of the region during May-June. Several countries in this region have reported
increasing surface temperature trends in recent decades. In Vietnam, annual
mean surface temperature has increased over the period 1895-1996, with
mean warming estimated at 0.32°C over the past 3 decades. Annual mean surface
air temperature anomalies over Sri Lanka during the period 1869-1993 suggest
a conspicuous and gradually increasing trend of about 0.30°C per 100 years
(Rupakumar and Patil, 1996). The warming trend over India has been reported
to be about 0.57°C per 100 years (Rupakumar et al., 1994).

UNITED NATIONS (AP) — Syria says any attempt to deliver humanitarian aid to rebel-controlled areas without government approval is tantamount to "an attack on the Syrian state" as well as its territorial integrity and political independence.
Syria's U.N. Ambassador Bashar Ja'afari sent a letter to Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and the U.N. Security Council from several dozen Syrian and Arab lawyers protesting against a draft council resolution that would authorize the delivery of humanitarian aid into Syria through four border crossings without approval from President Bashar Assad's government.
Currently, all U.N. aid must go through Damascus — a practice which U.N. humanitarian chief Valerie Amos has repeatedly criticized.
Key council members have been negotiating the text of the draft — initially circulated by Australia, Luxembourg, and Jordan — for several weeks.
Australia's U.N. Ambassador Gary Quinlan has said 90 percent of aid currently "goes to government-held areas," and Syrians in opposition-controlled zones aren't getting food and medicine. Authorizing humanitarian access at two crossings from Turkey, one from Jordan and one from Iraq would help more than 2 million people who have not received aid, he said.
But the lawyers sharply disagreed.
"The sole purpose of the initiative is to use United Nations auspices for the delivery of logistical backing to the terrorists, in preparation for the establishment of 'humanitarian corridors' under the protection of those very states that brought terrorism onto Syrian national territory," the lawyers said.
The Syrian government calls all opposition groups and al-Qaida-linked extremists "terrorists."
The letter, obtained Friday by The Associated Press, said all humanitarian aid must be delivered with the agreement of the government.
"Importing aid in coordination with terrorist organizations and without consultation with the Syrian state would amount to an attack on the Syrian state and on its territorial integrity and political independence," the lawyers said. "Not only would it violate the (United Nations) charter, it would use the charter as a pretext for aggression."
The resolution was initially drafted under Chapter 7 of the U.N. Charter, which means it could be enforced militarily, but that was dropped at the insistence of Russia, Syria's most important ally.
Russia's U.N. Ambassador Vitaly Churkin said Moscow came up with "an elegant, innovative formula" that would allow humanitarian supplies to go through the four crossing points "which will simplify the humanitarian procedures when the goods are actually on the territory of Syria."
He said Western members of the council have been examining the draft since Tuesday and expressed hope that the resolution will be adopted quickly.
"Frankly, my suspicion is that their main interest very often ... (is) to produce some kind of a political big bang," Churkin said. "When the political big bang is not there, when in fact we focus on the humanitarian situation, then quite often they'll lose interest in the entire exercise. So we'll see what comes out of this discussion on the resolution."
Australia's Quinlan told reporters Thursday that the latest revised Russian draft "is not good enough and can take us backwards potentially."
"We need to make sure it works on the ground and generates greater access, but we are not convinced it is the case," he said.
All 15 council members voted for a resolution in February demanding that all sides in the Syrian conflict allow immediate access for aid. U.N. officials have said the resolution has failed to change the dire humanitarian situation.

GS:With an uninteresting world and dull combat, the survival horror game ZombiU is a weak link in the Wii U's launch lineup.
This game is getting mixed scores, but some of these scores are low down into the Black Ops Declassified AKA 'broken game zone'.
I think it's mostly because some sites are giving it the benefit of the doubt since it's a launch game.
Either that (and the other reviews sway more on the multiplayer which seems to be positively reviewed) or the review is dead wrong but he does provide evidence in what he says. I guess its a rent first then if you like buy it because these reviews are all over the place (from 4.5 to 9)
No, most reviewers who are also nintendo fans were so pumped for it and can't accept the fact that it is a broken game. Nintendo fans can't give a launch game that was so hyped as the most awesome zombie game a low score and just can't be objective. Every good score for the game is more than likely a skewed and subjective review from a long time nintendo fan. The reviewer from Gamespot has no reason to lie, he just did his/her job and played the game and reviewed it accordingly from an OBJECTIVE opinion. The game just outright sucks.
I think it is just too hard for some. That seems to be the overall jist of the reviews. Either people love the difficulty, or hate it.
Yes that difficulty is created with clunky controls and limited ammo, but this isnt COD Zombies. I think it looks like a lot of fun. Too bad I probably wont have a WiiU for a while.
I honestly see this as another assassins creed, because just like assassins creed, they had a really good concept and didn't pull it off right. Any game with mixed reviews, I usually hold off on, but I will keep my eyes on the sequel.
"Many of the environments are claustrophobic?"
It's a survival horror game...how is this a negative point?
@StrawberryDiesel420 - Oh yes, all the positive review scores are biased and they are just Nintendo fans, but all the bad review scores are the truth right?
So if a Sony game gets a bad score, oh they just don't understand the game, and the game is actually much better than they say it is..
Give me a break.
I have to say I'm pretty bummed about the reviews. Most have been mediocre to just plain bad!
I like how if you die you come back as someone completely new that picks up where your last character dies off.
Other than that, it looks like a sub par Dead Island. The graphics look pretty bad to for something touting to have graphics as good and better than PS3/360.
At around 2:45, he talks about how the prepper doesn't even recognize when a new character has arrived. Thats incredibly dumb. How could the devs miss that? This game was clearly rushed.
yeah and @neonridr is a game gets several reviews and say 2 are worse than all the others by a fair bit then it's be fair to say the reviews being so harsh were unfair, when a game like this is released and it gets mixed/low reviews then I think probably what with it being a launch title wealth which people tend to be more lenient with.
Well at least the cricket bat is getting some love. Maybe too much. Could the cricket bat become a wii u mascot?
What happened to "gaming journalism is a joke and we shouldn't trust it" that we see in every black ops declassified review comments just some days ago?
Don't worry, Nintendo Fans will bring those comments back preety soon
Both games are bad... But this was suppose to be a launch hit for WiiU... wich game will sell better, ZombieU or COD BO Declassified?
Sigh!!!... Well this game is now off my list. There is no denying the fact that the game mechanics isn't robust enough for purchase. 4 to 6 time of applying the cricket bat to the head over and over again as your primary means of gameplay = Fail. Plus no real online experience makes this game a pass for me.
This is Red Steel all over again. What is up with Nintendo quality management.
No I do not, but I did watch over 50% walkthrough gameplay which confirms some of the overly repetitive gameplay mechanics talked about by gamespot. ZombiU 2 will be the version I will own. The only two games I will be purchasing for the Wii U this year are Call of Duty: Black Ops II and Assassin's Creed III. Then download Trine 2: Director's Cut.
i will wait for the real Mario game. I can always get a used New Super Mario Bros. U game later.
Sad to see this game get bad reviews
Bad games should get bad reviews. Thats why we have them. To stop us from spending our hard earned $60 on something that isn't worth it.
So what if the game got a bad review but you liked it?
He's not saying that despite it being a bad game that he wishes it got more favorable review scores. He's simply stating that he was hoping for a better game, like a lot of us. Jeez, why don't you just calm down.
So are you saying this game is bad? Cause i've seen some positive reviews and these are all just opinions.
^^I'm saying that bad games should get bad reviews. I'll have to play it to see if its TRULY a bad game for me.
LOL! There goes Nintendo fans' killer app. After all the hype created by Nintendo and their fans by touting the BEST launch line-up EVER, these are the reviews they get. The graphics of this supposedly "next-gen" console are also worse then current gen. Moreover, slowly the reality about Wii U is being revealed. We now know that WiiU RAM is slower than 6/7 year old PS360. The 5GB firmware update is bricking consoles. Soon the underpowered CPU and GPU will be revealed as well. Nintendo was hiding the specs and details for this very reason. They were tricking the Nintendo fans into buying this crappy, underpowered and last-gen console.
Well Said
Hardcore Nintendo fans are gullible though. I mean how many same old Nintendo fans have been saying the opposite of what you've just said on here for months.
As I said before, Nintendo is ALL about perception. They have this ability to manipulate people into buying underpowered consoles over and over again even though all they do is underdeliver and overpromise.
As a kid, I bought a GBA Pocket, GBA Color, GBA Advance, and GBA SP. To this day, I have no idea why I did it.
lol man you just blew my mind. i did the same thing now that i think about it.
That is exactly the same as my childhood, I also have no idea why i had every one of them.
The gameboy advances were awesome, that's why!
Game Boy Advance Color, Game Boy Advance Pocket, Game Boy Advance Advance?
Yeah man, lord knows why!
What about "GBA Express", "GBA Lynx", "GBA micro", "GBA DS", "GBA DSXL", "GBA DSi". "GBA 3DS" and "GBA 3DSXL"
Oh and you may have bought them because they had the best games despite being weaker.
Like PSX and PS2 had the best games but was weaker. Just a thought
Man U sound stupid Give the system some time a console never came out with a good looking games in the beginning except for maybe the Dreamcast wait till you see the next Zelda game at E3 make sure u have a wiping rag with you
"Humph. Hope, it is the quintessential Nintendo Fan delusion, simultaneously the source of your greatest strength, and your greatest weakness." (The Architect)
I really really hope the next consoles from Sony and microsoft truly blow you outta the water. As far as with their graphics and what it can do from day one, the systems better be night and day compared to what your playing now. Otherwise your gonna be very disappointed...
with Nintendo its never about the hardware and specs. they just put out a cheap console with Mario and Zelda on it and the fans buy them up.
the thing about this system though is that its not that cheap to start with and you need to spend $100's more to make it complete, with external hard drive another game tablet and several different other controller to use depending on the game you are playing
Actually you are quite wrong.
The gamespot reviewer missed a lot of things. I mean really, how can you say the gamepad does this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this...and yet put ONLY asd if it wasn't enough. Oh and he MISSED the whole radar feature.
So if he didn't know the radar feature, how do we know he did a good job on the rest? Also it depends on the methodology. Gaming scores aren't like American Grade System where 59 and below = fail. Technically 5 is supposed to be a middle of the road game. So is the reviewer saying it's just slightly below a middle of the road game or is he saying it sucks. You are also cherry picking the review YOU want to hear. Most of the reviews are in the 7-9 region, not 4.5-5 region.
So again, you are hearing what you want to hear. Which in each one of your supposed points seems to be a theme.
Actually NONE of the consoles will be 'next-gen'. But that's another story. All are 'this gen, done right' or 'This gen, fully realized'. As it'll be top end PC gear 3-5 years that finally gives us what most people consider are 'next gen' graphics.
Also we don't 'now know' that the RAM of the Wii U is slower, we're getting a really rudimentary estimate by looking at one piece of the puzzle. As has been described elsewhere you can't look at the ram chip alone and determine the bandwidth. That's crazy talk. So no, we 'don't know' what it is, and what you're throwing around is 100 percent false, as the 17.7 gb/s number is missing alot of other aspects that make up the ACTUAL bandwidth number.
Also the 5gb firmware update is NOT bricking consoles. It's human error. Would you turn off your power during a 360/PS3/PC GPU firmware update? I don't think so. These people didn't realize it would take that long so they turned off their Wii U. So it wasn't the update bricking it, it was the people, and even then we haven't heard if this is permanent or temporary setback.
We haven't heard about the CPU in finality. We heard 3 cores and 12 threads, but I read by one person it's a quad core, so again, time needs to go on. Besides it's the GPU that does most of the pushing, and the CPU is definitely secondary in terms of performance. As long as it's not a major bottleneck (and with 12-16 threads there not much reason to believe that). All we have really is a comment by a dev that makes the same game over and over again. If a dev does the same thing everytime, I don't expect them to be able to handle new tech very well.
So all your assumptions are cherry picked, see what you want, and making incorrect final conclusions.
Me personally, doesn't matter. I have a 360/PS3/ i7 920 @4ghz and GTX 670 PC.
I have a Wii U on the way, and will be buying a PS4 and a 720. Though none of three will be better than my current PC. The tech doesn't exist to do it.
But keep up with your meme, I guess it means something to you to dog the Wii U. It won't make your system any more powerful. It won't make the next version any more powerful.
What Nintendo fan claimed this was the best launch line up ever? I havent heard that (the line up clearly sucked, even before the review scores). That said, stop bringing up specs to claim the wiiU sucks. When the current gen begun, sony fanboys brought that up, and it ended up making no difference except for a few exclusives (arguably).
Furthermore, stop saying Nintendo tricks the consumers. They try to sell their products like any other company. If you buy them or not its up to you. If you bought 100 versions of the same gameboy, its YOUR FAULT.
(Before someone takes the easy route and call me a Nintendo fanboy, I dont own a wii, and dont plan on getting a wiiU (at least anytime soon), but some of the comments here just bother me)
I'm not really surprised to be honest
Insightful video. If the cricket bat thing is correct I can see that getting incredibly boring. Shame, this game was one of the reasons I was considering perhaps getting a wii u. I'll definitely wait it out now.
ZombiU seems like Ubisoft just rushed the game out instead of making sure it was polished
Before seeing this, I would've welcomed a suggested ps3/360 port however; that is not the case anymore. As for the Wii U, I'll just wait until the PS4, or, "Orbis" as it's rumoured to be called.
The rumour of the "Orbis" sounds realistic as Sony have strayed away from the generic names - that of course is if the Vita is anything to go by! The Vita is also a reason I don't want a Woo E, I'm loving it! I haven't been on my Ps3 much because of it.
Also ZombiU is a really lame name for a game...
you do realise zombi was the first game Ubisoft realesed it is technically a sequel, also have you read the review he is reviewing like an action game nit survival horror and he complained about dying by falling of a roof how lame.
sticking "U" on the end of a name to make it relevant to the system is both bad marketing, and bad naming, it looks lame, cheesy, cheap and unimaginative, the "zombi" part is not what I was referring to.
also most part of bad reviews is the 5 or six hits it takes to kill a zombie, first I don't think a zed can be killed in one or two hits and second has anyone played a proper survival horror like silent hill it takes 5 to 10 hits to kill anything in that game long beatings is part of the survival genre, if you get board of hitting things you blantenly havnt played survival horror, don't bring up resi evil as it hasn't been survival horror since 3 its now survival action, I understand this game won't be liked by most people but you need to know what your playing a slow paced, not shooter survival game. you can't run around shooting everything because you'll run out of ammo you need to take a step back and think. something gamers can't seem to do these days if you can't run out and shoot everything what's the point. the multi player reviews back up this point as it is more action orientated. ZOMBIU IS NOT AN ACTION GAME, finally anyone know england guns are not in abundance here if a zed outbreak happens here we will be fucked hardly anyone in England has guns so if bullets and guns where everywhere it would be bullshit.
Does the Woo E play Woo games?
you have some problem with your keyboard I think,
and yes the WooE plays original Woo games, in its full Woo OS.
I believe them. The guy made valid points and showed what he was talking about. Game looks shit as well tbh
Yeah the game looked incredibly dull and lackluster and for a survival horror it lacked atmosphere.
Eurogamer gave it 9/10.....
Most likely payola. I'm sorry, but there cannot be THAT large of a discrepancy between the scores we've been seeing without a little bit of money involved.
Seams there is big discrepancy with this game, but it aint the only game today with big up's and downs.
Hitman: Absolution is all over the place also with some reviews as low as 5/10 and others up at 9/10....
How can someone click disagree with your comment? Its a FACT, not an opinion.
Could be the Disagree clickers were brain dead zombies that couldn't read or didn't care if they were wrong.
It's funny seeing all the people rushing in here saying I told you so and what not. It's like the only review that matters to some of you folks is the bad ones, only so that you can throw it in the face of other people that like the game or is looking forward to it.
This game has gotten way more positive reviews than it did bad, but ohh no you don't want to focus on that. The only way you'll know if you truly like a game is to play it yourself. And again the number of sites giving it more positive reviews should not be taken lightly against the 3 or so sites that hate the game.
And for some of you xbox and sony fanboys, you never where gonna get this system even it spit gold out at ya. So it doesn't make sense to come in here praising a negative review for a game cuz it's on a system you hate.
"It's funny seeing all the people rushing in here saying I told you so and what not. It's like the only review that matters to some of you folks is the bad ones"
Ever thought it's because unlike the good reviews this guy has the evidence to back his claims up. He actually shows you....whats more credible then that.
I've never seen any of the good reviews say
"This feature is good BECAUSE...."
"This stands out well BECAUSE...."
"When playing ZombiU gives you a great experience BECAUSE...."
Hell even the video reviews just show you gameplay footage while they talk about how they like it, not whats right/wrong with it.
Because only negativr reviews can contain legitamate points?
Your statement is one sided and makes little sense
Well said, i've got a 360 and i'm getting a wii u as well, not because i want something better than my xbox but because i'm looking forward to seeing what the future holds for the wii u, even if that future is a crap one. People just love to hate!!!
Whathever. The reviewer didnt even need to say anything. He could just have shown me this footage for me to know that ZombiU is a no no.
B.S. I was going to get Wii U just for this game while I don't give a flying f. about those ghastly Mario games. Now I'm not sure if I want to go through with my pre-order... sad really...
hey there, i want get the system too but at the price and the games it has is just not match how much i tihnk is worth.
And when I said I played it at an expo and didnt like it at all people bashed me saying I was lying. Thanks gamespot for shedding the light on these guys who probably wont even buy the game due to these mixed reviews
This review has 20 comments now while the better reviews have 3 or 4.
If you want to know why gaming media focuses on negative stories regarding Nintendo and its games then look no further than this.
The reason is because that is what people look at and respond to the most. More response equals more ad revenue. Plain and simple.
nobody wants to read the good reviews, only take the bad ones as the only true reviews
Yea, looks like good zombie-game could only make by Capcom Vancouver (ex blue castle) and Naughty Dog. Ubisoft always was an average developer in my opinion.
Because I'm going to trust the site that has been caught taking money and ads for good reviews and punishing those who don't comply?

A Quest for Deeper Understanding and Acceptance
Eliana Light '13 is finding a path to integrate her diverse personal interests
Everyone said Eliana Light '13 should go to Brandeis. Where better for a rabbi's daughter from Memphis, deeply engaged with her religion and with questions about ethnic identity, than a broadly diverse university with deep Jewish roots?
So, of course, she resisted.
"I was thinking maybe I should go somewhere I'd have to struggle" to maintain religious commitment, study and practice, Light says. Then she thought: "But why? Why not be in a community where I am comfortable."
When Light came to Brandeis, she knew quickly she had made the right choice. Professors of Jewish studies who were giants in their fields, lively student-run services, Hillel Shabbat dinners "so big, with so many Jews from different places" all added up to a community she loved.
Light had a long-term direction — rabbinical school. But she did not want to do that right after college, and needed a focus for the nearer term.
It didn't take long for her to find one. Her first semester class Sociology of the American Jewish Community appealed to her because of her interest in the American Jewish experience. She didn't expect that it would shape the course of her studies and even her life.
"I didn't know what sociology was before I came here," Light says. ""I'd always been a pop-culture junkie, fascinated by people and their stories. I was drawn to sociology because it is not just the study of culture, but of how and why culture developed.
"Sociology is giving me the tools to examine my world and to learn about people," she says. "I don't know if it is a discipline I will continue, but what I've already learned – how to interview, how to take field notes – those are important whether or not I become a sociologist. They are skills which greatly enhance my experience with the world."
She has discovered that her varied interests — Judaism, sociology and music — can be thoroughly integrated at Brandeis.
She took Religions in Greater Boston, a course offered jointly by the Departments of Near Eastern and Judaic Studies and Sociology that explores how religious practices and beliefs unite and divide communities; the course examines Christian, Unitarian-Universalist, Muslim, Native American, Buddhist and Spiritual traditions as well as Judaism.
Light joined Brandeis' semi-professional Israeli dance troupe B'Yachad, served as gabbai of the traditional egalitarian minyan and currently teaches in the Brandeis Jewish Education Program for young children.
In the summer of 2011, an internship at the Hadassah-Brandeis Institute deepened her synthesis of her interests. Interns were asked to research and report on some aspect of Judaism and gender. Light chose to investigate why some committed young Jews embrace egalitarianism while others maintain traditional gender roles. She brought her sociological and musical skills to bear on the question, interviewing peers and rendering the results in poetry, song and dance.
"Brandeis," she says, "gives you amazing space to study in whatever schools or programs you want."

Low stock - order quickly!
Michael Young's PXR-8 - the latest in his row of digital watches!
Gone is the interchangeable Velcro strap; gone are the open spaces that were the attachment for the straps, gone is the squareness of the design. Say hello to a high tech rubber polymer strap with a traditional closure. Say hello to an amazing curved housing that is completely 3 dimensional. Say hello to larger numbers that make it easier to read and lastly, say hello to a brand spanking new massive and bold watch that simply looks awesome!
The general specs stayed the same: Time and date and light, that's it. The rest is all new: New buttons, new size (4 x 5 x 0,9cm or 1.5" x 1.9" x 0.3"), new case (machined out of one solid block), new closure (the case wraps around, forming one unit) – stellar.
Now all you need to do is decide whether you prefer the black, the brushed or the all new gunmetal version…

The second man then brandished a handgun and took the iPad and some jewelry before fleeing north on Kelley Drive, police said. The robber was described as a black man in his 20s standing 6 feet 1 inch tall with a thin build and a goatee, wearing black pants and a black or gray hooded sweatshirt.

Great fun stuff, hope this becomes a monthly event!
Thanks, that's the direction I went, even found a list of 'hoods in San R that the city puts out. Will look deeper, tough not knowing the area from the East. Thanks again!
Was able to DL June puzzle with clues (haven't looked for answers yet) Clicked on grid to DL July
puzzle but No Clues. Is this problem with file Or .....?
I believe the link for the answers are for part 1. My question is where are the clues for part 2?

Where are the answers for Part 1?
Actually right click the GRID, not the link!
Much easier than last month's. Got them all but one, 10 across. The usual tale of what its supposed to be just doesn't seem to fit. Any clues? Hope its not a typo!

Cultural References in Lucky Star
I think that each one of us following this show will agree that references are definitely a key element in Lucky Star. Being them a quote from a different series, a citation from a tv spot, a joke about the anime business, or simply the depiction of a particular habit of daily life in Japan.
This thread is meant to discuss these subjects in all of their aspects.
On the same time, the objective is that of gathering the references we can get in Lucky Star, in order to create a list including all of them, possibly with explanations, useful links and so on. It's highly possible that a sticky will be created to serve that purpose.
Thread Guidelines:
- Always keep the discussion civil ad be polite with your fellow members.
- Don't go off-topic. This thread is about references, if you need to discuss events from the episodes, you have the episode threads.
- As usual, have fun.

This is an excerpt of what JEEB wrote on the other thread:
Kaioshin_Sama also offered his help.
What we need to do at this point of time, is to gather informations from episodes 1-8. (episode 6 can be not counted, since if JEEB gives me the permission, I might use that directly ).
Meanwhile, the references discussions on this thread can start.

<EDIT> The link to the Episode 07 text. Not that much QC'd and misses some kanji (more rooma-ji) and might not have as lengthy explanations as with Episode 06's text. But still, it's not bad. Referenced through Suzuki Shuuta's quiz site and through various Wikipedia articles plus the Hatena Diary Keywords. </EDIT>

Eh, here are the references I've found. Except those in my post, I either didn't find them or someone else already mentioned them. Most, if not all of them, are from Anime/Manga, so I'd like to learn more about "other" cultural references. ^^; I only did a couple of episodes, as I'm a bit too busy to watch them all at once, but I'll continue during my free time.

Oh good grief... it'd take me a whole day if I had to list them all. Not to mention having to watch them over again.
I'll skip the ones that's already mentioned in this thread, and obvious and repetitous references to Keroro Gunso and Top of Nerae! Gunbuster BGM reused.
As for the mayonnaise bit, it's not a particulary "anime" thing.
There's set of people in Japan that likes to eat everything with mayonnaise, and they are called "mayolers" by others.

The sticky is now up. At the moment I've only included the infos provided by JEEB about episodes 6 and 7, because they were well sorted out and I just need to copy/paste them (though it took me a while to change the tags to fit into this forum )
Thanks for the all contributions that came so far. They will be included soon.
Since I can't include everything (a post also has a digit limit), please make sure not to excessively repeat what others have already submitted (unless you provide new links, informations, point of views and so on )

Thanks for making it... it's so neat and spiff!
Unfortunately I'm not otaku enough to catch un-obvious references that haven't already been mentioned, so I'm going to *slink away* now. (And I think the "mayolers" thing is really bizarre... there's a group of people who eat everything with mayo, and furthermore... there's a name for that group of people too. O___o)

This is pretty cool, absolutely mind-boggling to look at those long reference lists. There are a few more which I know but not mentioned yet and some I feel are missing some interesting details. And anyone who spot errors please correct me so as not to spread wrong information.
Spoiler for ep 2 - Koi no Apron:
Spoiler for ep 2 - man who balances a red wash basin on his head:
Spoiler for ep 3 - Ladybug Samba:
Spoiler for ep 4 - figurines on Konata's computer:
Spoiler for ep 4 - Kanisawa Kinu:
Spoiler for ep6 - Initial D:
I recall more references some of which kj1980 mentioned in the ep threads, MakubeX2 also mentioned a few including the Ponytail references and one of a game poster, someone noticed that Kagami was reading Toki wo Kakeru Shoujo, Kaoru Chujo verified that the smoking middle age man is Ishihara Tetsuya, and Level E has a very good list on his forum. Seriously there are a lot of references!

Sticky now completely up to date! Thanks to all the contributors.
Please try not to provide further informations about episodes 6-7 (unless they're strictly necessary), since they're full.
By the way, is that all about episode 1? (not that I'm particularly surprised, just asking ^^)

With the threat of wintry weather Friday, law enforcement officers in Davidson County are urging motorists to use caution while driving.
With the threat of wintry weather Friday, law enforcement officers in Davidson County are urging motorists to use caution while driving.
The National Weather Service in Raleigh has issued a winter weather advisory from noon to midnight Friday night for snow, freezing rain, freezing drizzle and a little sleet. Ice accumulations of 0.10 to 0.15 of an inch are possible, a half to an inch of snow across the northern Piedmont, mainly north of U.S. Highway 64, and a quarter of an inch or less of sleet accumulation, mainly across the far northern Piedmont.
Katie Roussy, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service, forecasts less than an inch of snow to accumulate Friday in Davidson County before the system moves out. With temperatures in the mid-20s, the wintry event should begin between 9 a.m. and noon in the county as a snow-sleet mix before turning over to a freezing rain mixed with snow and sleet, Roussy said. Most precipitation will fall between 2-9 p.m., the advisory said.
The event is expected to end in the evening, and there could be minimal ice accumulations on the snow, according to the NWS.
"It definitely can have an impact" on travel, Roussy said. "The roads are definitely cold. Anything that falls should probably accumulate very quickly."
Sgt. Stephen Pace of the N.C. Highway Patrol emphasizes residents should not travel unless they absolutely have to during a wintry event. The call volume for the N.C. Highway Patrol increases as frozen precipitation falls, and Pace wants residents to stay home if they can and enjoy the weather.
"I feel some people drive when they don't need to be (on the roads)," Pace said. "They get cabin fever and go out. I would stay in, light the fire, read a book and have family time."
In the event residents do have to drive on the roads, Pace tells residents to slow down and watch for black ice. He recommends that motorists should be cautious and pay attention, avoiding distractions like texting while driving.
Motorists, Pace said, should be patient if they get in an accident. He said often during wintry storms, troopers are handling more serious accidents, and there could be an extended amount of time before a trooper arrives at a wreck depending on where he or she is coming from in the county.
"It's always a good idea to have a blanket (in your vehicle) because just imagine if your car broke down and you are on the side of the road for quite some time," the sergeant said. "It's not a bad idea to keep a bottle of water or two in there, a pack of crackers, something to tide you over."
Motorists, Pace said, also should make sure their tires are properly inflated, their battery is OK and have their antifreeze checked. It's also a good idea to have a flashlight or a device to charge batteries if possible and a phone charger, the sergeant said, adding that residents should also fill up their gas tanks in their vehicles.
"Most people don't have a wrecker in mind that they always use," Pace said. "We will always ask you what wrecker you want to use."
Motorists who are getting on the roads and don't need to are putting themselves in danger and causing more work for troopers, Pace said.
"I know people love the snow and it's pretty, but it's not the time to do that," he said. "Cook up some hot chocolate and go sledding in the yard."
Capt. Mitch Kepley of the Davidson County Sheriff's Office is telling residents to watch their speed when traveling in a wintry event. The captain said speed contributes to many accidents during winter storms.
"People get up too fast, and they think there is not much snow on the ground. The next thing you know they hit (ice), and they are not going to stop like they do (normally) because of the slush and ice," Kepley said. "… People just don't slow down."
Kepley reiterates that residents should not go out during a wintry event unless they have to be on the roads. He said residents should make sure they have good tires with traction on them if they do travel.
Capt. Robby Rummage of the Lexington Police Department said he encourages residents not to travel if they don't need to anytime there is a threat of ice. He said residents who do have to travel should refrain from doing so when it's dark.
Rummage said motorists traveling in a wintry event should slow down, increase following difference and be careful on bridges and overpasses. While traveling on icy and snowy roads, motorists should avoid slamming on brakes and travel at a slow, steady speed.
"Go into turns extremely slow," Rummage said. "With ice, make slow and steady movements.
Rummage encourages residents to clean off all of their windows before they travel.
"Make sure visibility is good," he said.

Are you there Darryl? It's me, Brian.
"I think a realistic yardstick is 20 games, that being said, these points that they've put in the bank are important come March or April. But you can't just have a great start and then fizzle. That flame has to be sustainable. That's the challenge." –Brian Burke on October 20, 2011
When Brian Burke said that Leafs were 4-1-1 after 6 games played. They had just suffered their first regulation loss of the season to the Bruins, with Gustavsson in goal. James Reimer would be injured in his next start against the Canadiens. Wilson commented after the game that Reimer "could have finished the game", he hasn't played since and the Leafs have gone 6-6-1.
On Saturday the Leafs will play the Washington Capitals at home in their 20th game of the season. Their record is 10-7-2 good for second in the Northeast Division and 6th in the Eastern Conference. They have as many points as the Sabres but trail in the all important "regulation wins". They are on a 95 pt pace, just good enough for a playoff position. In short they are exactly where most rational fans and observers thought they would be before the season began, maybe even a little higher. That's the good news.
That being said there are plenty of reasons for Brian Burke to be concerned at the 20 game mark:
- Secondary scoring has been hard to come by- Phil Kessel and Joffery Lupul have 25 and 20 points respectively. Dion Phaneuf is next with 12. Liles and Grabovski are the only other players with double digit points thus far. That is simply not good enough.
- We need an actual NHL goaltender. Ben Scrivens has started 4 straight games. That's all you need to know right there.
- The special teams are still terrible. This is a recording.
- The Leafs lack a player with a combination of size and skill in the top-six. Joffery Lupul is the closest thing we have to a power forward right now, just let that sink in.
Thankfully Burke has shown an ability to make effective trades during his time in Toronto. I have the sense that he'll make a move sooner rather than later in hopes of building on what has been, all things considered, a positive start for the Leafs.
I'm not going to forecast anything but what makes the most sense is a trade for a relatively experienced NHL goalie who can play tandem with Scrivens until Reimer returns and then serve as a capable backup. This will most likely be the end of the line for Gustavsson.
I also imagine that Burke would love to acquire a guy capable of playing in the top-six with a combination of size, and skill. This team needs to get mean. This is the one player that Burke has yet to add during his time here and I know it's eating him up inside. I really wish the Leafs had gone after Nathan Horton, but what can you do. My own personal belief is that Dustin Penner will be a Maple Leaf before Christmas. Once he's off the IR I think Burke goes after him. The two have a good history together, offer sheet aside, and he's a guy who could use a fresh start and is on an expiring deal so there's very little risk.
I know which of these two guys I want!
While their recent stretch of play is disappointing, the Leafs are exactly where they need to be in the standings at this point of the season. Their great start helped build a cushion for the inevitable regression. One only hopes that this is the worst things get this season. Otherwise the next twenty games will be unbearable.

Advance Fee Scams Are Based On Greed, So Their New Favorite Target? Lawyers!
from the first-thing,-we... dept
The real issue here is that banks say the check "cleared" which people assume means that the check is legit. But it's not. Fix this problem and this particular scam would disappear overnight.
Of course, most of these scams are based on playing on someone's greed. To brush aside anyone's concerns on these types of deals, sometimes the buyer will ask for only some of the difference back, making the seller think they actually got away with making more money.
But, if you're going to base on a scam on greed, why prey just on small-fry eBay sellers? Why not go after the bigger dogs... like lawyers? You might assume that lawyers would be more sophisticated and not as quick to fall for this sort of thing, but at least with some (and, no, I'm not painting all lawyers with this brush), you'd be wrong. Earlier this year, we wrote about a lawyer who fell for exactly this trick... and then (of course) sued Citibank for letting him make this mistake -- which cost his firm nearly $200,000. Not bad for a simple scam... and thus, it appears that more lawyers are being targeted with just such a scam, even to the point that local bar associations are warning lawyers to watch out for it.

text: I was born in Athens Greece. Ever since I can remember myself, I was taking pictures with toy cameras. Later in the university (studying Engineering) I entered the SLR world with an Olympus OM10. I started to work with DSLRs from the early stage, using Nikon equipment. Since I was always working in manual mode, owning an X-T1 became my dream.The reality was better than my expectations and very soon I turned completely to Fuji equipment. I prefer natural light and I am working always in manual mode, shooting RAW files. I like to visualize the photo before the caption and mainly prefer the B&W conversion. Close portraits is my passion.
