[a. Mission 1: Lighthouse]
Mission Objectives
Primary Objectives:
- Recover or destroy information about the Masse Kernels
Any information the Guerillas may have gotten from Morgenholt must be
recovered or destroyed. And any copies of it must be erased from computers or
- Rescue Morgenholt
If possible, rescue Bruce Morgenholt from the Guerillas. Do no compromise the
mission for the rescue.
Secondary Objectives:
- Eliminate Hugo Lacerda
Hugo Lacerda has been elevated to Third Echelon's target of opportunity list.
Take advantage of any possible opportunity to remove him from the list.
Opportunity Objectives:
None yet.
Sam will start standing on the beach of the lighthouse next to his crashed
inflatable boat. Turn around and head up the stone ledge into the narrow
crevice. Walk through and enter the crawl space at the end. As Sam exits the
crawl space, run to the ledge in front of you and jump on top of it. Climb up
two more steps to reach the top.
Underground Cave:
*New Primary Objective*
- Discover where the Guerillas got their arms and equipment.
The Guerillas have seemingly received weapons from an unknown party, possibly
as payment for the kidnapping of Morgenholt. Discover where the weapons came
Before the two guards show up on the far side of the cave, move to the left
and find the ledge path that will take you around to a small hidden room. Walk
into the middle of the room and find the ladder you need to climb.
*New Opportunity Objective*
- Scan the SSCC Bar Code of the delivered crates
Scan the weapons crates containing weapons delivered to Lacerda by checking
them manually or by using your EEV.
Pop up from the ladder and walk to the crates in the room on the right. Use
Sam's EEV (right analog click) and scan the crate for SSCC Bar Code #1. Move
out of the room and follow the stairs up to a small storage hallway. One guard
is on patrol back and forth down the hallway. Use Sam's EEV on the crate left
of the next set of stairs for SSCC Bar Code #2 and sneak across the hallway
when the guard isn't looking. Make your way up the stairs and enter the door.
Torture Room:
Walk down the slanted pathway and hide yourself behind the boxes in the shadows
in front of you. Wait until the guards are bored of torturing Morgenholt and
one of them will exit right in front of you. After he walks by, wait until the
remaining guard sits down in his chair with his back to you. Walk up to the
torture room and continue passed the recently deceased Morgenholt and straight
on through the dark corridor. Pick the lock on the door and open the door
Security Posts:
Close the door and walk forward until you can take a left around the back of
the first tent. Stay in the shadows and make your way to the other tent across
from you. Walk inside the tent and scan the crate sitting there for SSCC Bar
Code #3. Leave the tent and head over to the doorway with the light sitting
over the top of it. Use the OPC and take the light out so the guards don't see
you. Walk through the hallway and into the next courtyard.
Underneath the small building in this next yard, use the EEV to scan the crate
for SSCC Bar Code #4. Finish that and follow the cracked wall dividing you from
two guards. When one leaves to patrol, jump onto and over the wall through the
small hole and sneak behind the guard and the boxes behind him. Quietly walk
past the generator and up the stairs into a cozy room with a nice fire going.
Creep passed the man watching the fire and out onto the wooden catwalk. Stay
on the catwalk and stop before you come into the light. Use your OCP and get
rid of the light. Sneak into the room and avoid the one guard that will
periodically shift around the room. Find the computer in here and access it
to complete your objective, then leave under the door flap.
Wait at the corner until the two guards finish their conversation and follow
right behind them down the stairs. The first one will hook around the corner
and sit under the nook in the wall, while the second will walk forward next to
some cannons. Quickly turn to the first guard and scan the crate next to him
for SSCC Bar Code #5 and make your way down the next set of stairs. Be quiet as
to not disturb the metal worker fixing his little gate in the room. Follow the
stairs all the way to the bottom and walk on the path until you reach the
bridge and the lighthouse.
Take out the light in front of the bridge with your OCP and make sure to avoid
the guard patrolling around the base. On the backside of the lighthouse, use
the door and get inside without being seen. Be sure to close the door so the
guard outside isn't suspicious.
Allow the radio transmitter to finish his conversation and complete your
objective before continuing up the spiral staircase to the top of the
*New Primary Objective*
- Exfiltrate to the primary extraction point
Exfiltrate from the top of the lighthouse by clearing the upper platform and
disabling the lighthouse light.
At the top of the staircase, climb the ladder and wait at the top of the ladder
before jumping up onto the roof. Time your movement perfectly so that you are
not seen by the guard or lit up by the lighthouse light. Near the door, disable
the light and hop over the railing of the lighthouse. When the guard turns the
light back on and returns to patrolling, grab him and launch him off the
lighthouse. Turn the light back off and call for extraction.
Mission Complete.
[b. Mission 2: Cargo Ship]
Sam starts the mission on the bow of the Maria Narcissa and gets a little
warning from Lambert regarding the alarm system on board. As the first guard
slowly walks passed Sam to his left, walk out from behind the reel and grab
him. Quietly dispose of him in the shadows somewhere and return to the spot
the mission began. The remaining guard to the right will start a conversation
with another one who is patrolling. Let them finish and part ways before
sneaking over and grabbing the guard still there. Deal with him accordingly and
wait for the remaining guard to patrol by. When he walks through the small
passageway leading from one side of the boat to the other, jump down and hit
him from the above. Hide the body and head down the right side of the ship.
Sneak swiftly from side to side on this narrow path, hiding behind any cover
there is to be found. Move to the dark spot behind a couple barrels right in
front of a staircase. There is a guard patrolling up and down the staircase and
around the area above. Once he walks up the staircase and turns away, move down
the staircase and hide beneath them. Wait for the guard to come back down and
and walk right next to you. Don't freak out, if you're in the darkness, he
won't see you. As he turns around and walks away, run out and grab him. Handle
him like always and move to the sliding door in front of you.
Go through the door and slide down the ladder. You will be informed on a new
objective right away, placing tracking devices on the weapons cargo. Move
forward and climb on top of the large crate in front of you. Run to the far
end of the cargo hold and to the left you will see a small opening in the
partition separating the rooms. Squeeze through it and place the first tracking
device on the crate in front of you. Again, use Sam's climbing skills and get
yourself on top of the crates in this hold. Manage your way over to the ladder
across the room and another objective will be given, unflood the ship's
Walk through this door and down the flooded hallway. Ignore the door spilling
water on the right and continue straight. On the right, slide the door open
and sneak up on the man using the electric saw. Knock him out and look to the
left of where he was. Walk over to the wall and enter this crawlspace. Scoot
your way down the vent and hop out when you reach the end.
This room is the auxiliary pump room. There are two guards in here, one up on
the catwalk with you and one down below working the pump switchboard. Above is
a pipe that follows the path of the catwalk. Grab on to it and pull your legs
up. Scoot down the pipe until the guard is below you. Grab him by the neck and
knock him out. Hop down off of the pipe and use the OCP to shoot out the light
above the guard below. Jump over the railing and sneak up behind him while the
lights are still out. After the two guards are dealt with, go up to the pump
switchboard and activate the pumps. This will finish the unflooding objective
and present a new one, finding the ship's bill of lading. Exit the auxiliary
pump room via the crawlspace and return to the door that was spilling out water
Slide down the ladder and climb on top of the cargo boxes in this hold. The
bill of lading is on the backside of one of the top boxes to the right. The
box has a red tool chest sitting on top of it if there is trouble finding it.
Read the bill of lading and leave the room through the sliding door.
In this hallway, there is a small nook in the right wall that is shrouded in
darkness. Walk straight until reaching this spot and jump down into the open
vent here. Follow the vent underneath the patrolling guards above and come out
on the other side. Walk down the stairs and through the door below.
Enter the engine room and hide behind the lockers on the left wall. When the
first guard approaches, grab him and knock him out in the dark. Move around to
the otherside of the room and walk up the stairs. Avoid the guard up here, if
possible and move to the next set of stairs leading to the next floor. Sneak up
on the guard that is not paying any attention and knock him out. Leave out the
door on the left, but don't go up the stairs. Instead, go through the next door
and take out the guard leaving his bedroom. Walk all the way through to the
last compartment and place the second tracking device on the crate that seems
to be in a closet. Return to the stairs and walk up both sets.
Follow the hallway and enter the room with the opened door. As soon as you step
inside the room, enter the crawlspace on the lower left side. Follow it along
and climb out at the end of it. Ignore the two guards and wait for one to leave
the room. Sneak behind the man on the computer and search the file cabinets for
the ledgers. Leave the room, no need to create more bodies to hide for no
Walk down the hallway and leave through the door straight ahead. Outside, turn
left and place a tracking device on the crate hidden beneath the stairs. Move
up the stairs and turn right through the first door on Deck 2. Walk through the
hall way and enter the next room, which is a mess hall. Knock out the two
guards in this room and find the weapons crate to place the fourth tracking
device off to the right. Move back to the main mess hall area and leave through
the door ahead. Walk quietly and turn left at the first chance presented. If
you proceed straight, you will run into two more guards sitting down for their
Once outside again, walk up the stairs to reach Deck 3. Behind the stairs is
the fifth crate sitting in the shadows. Move through the hallway and up the
stairs quietly into the Main Bridge. The person on the left is the captain,
sneak up on him and interrogate him. Knock him out and get rid of his little
buddy as well before leaving the Bridge.
Head back down the stairs and through the hallway again. Turn right and open
the closed door leading you to a bathroom on the left, a kitchen on the right,
and another closed door straight ahead. Walk into the kitchen and hide by the
counter to the left of that door. Allow Lacerda to finish his conversation with
the guards inside and he will walk into the kitchen. Grab him and interrogate.
Once he's done talking, kill him to complete the objective.
Run back to the Main Bridge and exit out the door that was nearest the spot
where the Captain was. Outside, dart across the open area and up the stairs.
Continue straight where you will wrap around the side of a room and there will
be a ladder for you to slide down. Right below you is another ladder leading
to an area with three guards patrolling, as well as the last weapons crate you
need to place a tracking device on. Go down the ladder and sneak around the
guards and over to the weapons crate on the other side of a bigger crate. Place
the device and head back up the ladder. Follow the path around the side of the
ship to the next ladder. Climb that one and call for extraction.
Mission Complete.

like an inside job.
Front Court Yard:
Sneak around the right of the two talking guards. Stop and OCP the lantern
hanging above the guard. Move past him and follow the path that curves off to
the right. On the other side of the arched door, OCP the camera on the left
wall. Walk past the camera and hop onto the ladder in front of you. Climb the
ladder to the very top of the building.

security office and the treasurer's office. It does not matter in which order
the access is authorized.
Drop off of the rope and don't move an inch, the whole room is wired with
security lasers. Pull out your EEV and scan it onto one of the computers in the
room. Access the computer through the EEV and switch the lasers off. Exit via
the glass door behind you, keep quiet because a guard is sleeping against the
wall to the right.
Turn to the left and follow the red carpet on the floor. Go into hallway and
come around the corner quietly where the guard is sitting and watching the
surveillance cameras. Sneak up alongside the wall without drawing the guard's
attention. Knock the guard out and use the computer. Select Security Access and
hack the system. Upload Fake Email #1 into the computer and exit out the two
glass doors you entered in through.
Follow the red carpet to the other side of the room, the side with the sleeping
guard. The left set of glass doors is lit, you want to use this one. Allow the
guard inside the room to walk into the computer room. Open the door and blast
the camera on the left wall with your OCP. Walk across the room to the far
wooden door and enter through it. Turn to the left and use your EEV on the PC
hard drive sitting to the left of the guard's head. Hack the Security Access

titled "Re: Security Room Door Code" to get the door code (2306). Exit out the
glass door and follow the stairs up to the next floor.
Second Floor:
Stay out of the light from the window and in the shadows all the way to the
left of the stair case. As the guard patrols away from you, follow him closely.
After clearing the last laser, dart off the the shadow of the pillar on the
right. Turn around and EEV the PC behind you at the desk. Hack the Access
Security again and Upload Fake Email #3. Follow the guard into the hallway
and perform a split jump over head. Wait up here until the first guard can't
see you and the second guard is near enough to follow through the next set of
lasers. When the guard goes off to the side, hide in the shadows and wait for
him to make his way back.
Walk through this dark room and into the hallway. Follow it until you reach a
small room off to the right. Enter the room and take out the camera in the left
corner with the OCP. Walk towards the glass walled room and around to the door

The Vault Area:
Exit the crawlspace and switch the last Enable Access next to you. Move to the
Treasurer's computer and hack the Security Access. Upload Fake Email #6 and
search the cabinet next to the computer. Leave the room and move forward next
to the security room. Use your EEV like you did before and scan the computer
in the room. Hack the Access Security and plant Fake Email #7.
Walk through the glass door and veer off to the right before going down the
stairs. In this room there are a lot of lock boxes, you need to find number
1024 to get some equipment to blow the vault. Head down the stairs now and
place the telemetric lock pick on one of the locks. Move to the other one and
pick the lock like Turtle tells you to. After that is dealt with, place the
charge onto the vault door and move back to detonate it.
Head into the vault and get to the computer in the very back. Turn off the
Vault lights, open the cage, and plant Fake Email #8 here. Move around to the
cage and grab the money you came for.

is probably hidden somewhere near the master bedroom.
Secondary Objectives:
None yet.
Opportunity Objectives:
None yet.
The Street:
Sam starts behind a dumpster with a National Guard patrolling to his left. When
the guard turns, follow him and avoid the flare on the ground. Right past the
flare is a ladder leading up the building. Climb to the top and follow the
stairs to some crates blocking your path. Jump on top of them and grab the
concrete ledge of the building. Shimmy your way left around the building and
slide down the pipe. Move through the open doorway and around the corner into
the door that leads into the building.
Walk in here and sit in the shadows near the mechanic fixing the elevator. Once
the elevator is fixed, sneak into it and ride it up to a small storage room.
There is one guard patrolling the room, manage your way around him and wait in
the shadows until there is a chance to make your way to the staircase and up
on to the roof top.
On the roof is a helicopter and three guards patrolling around. Move forward
and hop over the set of pipes in front of you to a spot where you can sit and
wait safely in the dark. The guards will have a small conversation and after
they're done, walk towards the big neon sign on the building. Use the OCP on
the pistol and zap out the neon sign. Move towards the neon sign and climb the
ladder to the left of it. Find the electrical wires hanging from the sign to
the adjacent building and use them as a zip line to reach the other side.
The Outter Penthouse:
*New Primary Objective*
- Find out who the mercenaries work for
The men protecting Zherkezhi appear to be professional mercenaries. Find out
who they work for by interrogating any of them or accessing any computer they
may have brought.
Jump around the corner of the building onto the penthouse balcony. Then hop
over the railing and shimmy across the ledge of the balcony. When you come to
a lit doorway, hop back onto the balcony and go into it. Cut the material on
the right and walk over the crawlspace on the left wall. Enter the crawlspace
and make your way to the other side. Walk through the next room, but avoid the
two guards patrolling it and the hallway. On the other side is another guard
sleeping at his desk, use your EEV and hack into the Security Access of his
PC to complete one of your objectives. Walk by the sleeping guard and pick the
door lock.
*New Opportunity Objective*
- Tap the penthouse video cameras
Tapping the security cameras that Zherkezhi has installed will facilitate
Echelon's ability to more closely monitor his activities.
There is a special type of camera on the wall outside. Use the OCP and walk up
to it to place the Camera Tap #1. If necessary, use the OCP on it again and
continue up the stairs to the two doors.
The Inner Penthouse:
Of the two doors, use the one on the left. There is a guard listening to music
in here, sneak passed him by staying against the wall in the shadows. Around
the corner, open the glass door and listen to the two guards talking. After one
leaves, hit the camera behind the tree with the OCP. Place Camera Tap #2 here.
Enter the crawlspace next to the glass door and follow it into the kitchen.
*New Secondary Objective*
- Discover who is in charge of the Zherkezhi protection detail
Some of the guards may know who is in charge of the Zherkezhi protection
detail. Ask Around.
Look up and grab onto the pipe. Pull your legs up and shimmy towards the
hallway. When the guard goes passed you and stops, jump down and run down the
hallway into the shadows. Place Camera Tap #3 on the camera in the small room
on the right side of the hallway. Then get behind the hanging pictures and
sneak up to the camera next to the TV. Place Camera Tap #4 here. Move back and
walk right passed the guard and up the spiral staircase.
As you approach the room with the three PC monitors, stay to the left wall and
use the OCP on the camera in here. Place Camera Tap #5 here and walk behind
the orange wall. Open the door here and continue down a hallway to another
door. Enter the door and access the computer to complete an objective and get
a new door code (0280).
*New Primary Objective*
- Locate Dvorak
Go to the abandoned part of the building across the roof and locate Zherkezhi's
associate, Dvorak.
Now head back and go passed the camera to the other hallway. Use a split jump
in the hallway and wait until the guard passes below you. Jump down and run
into the room the guard just exited. Ignore the guard in the room and place
Camera Tap #6 on the camera to the left of the door. Leave the room and go back
to the spot with the window and wait in the darkness. When the guard stops at
the window, grab him and interrogate.
Jump out the window and then jump off of the roof back to the lower level that
you were at earlier. Sneak back into the room with the blasting music through
the glass door again and make your way back outside. This time, take the door
you passed up on the first trip by. Now that the magnetic locks are dealt with,
go through the next door.
The Penthouse Rooftop:
Through this door you will end up on the rooftop. Let the patrolling guard make
his way passed you to the right and sneak from crate to crate up towards the
lit door on the left. Don't make too much noise, or the guards in the window
might notice you. Inside this room, find the next door. There is a guard
directly on the other side, bash the door and knock him out.
Dvorak's Base:
Go left passed the elevator shaft and use the keycode from the PC (0280) to
open up the door. Walk over to the old man and keep him talking to get some
information out of him.
*New Primary Objective*
- Retrieve a hardcopy output for a single Dvorak execution cycle
Restart the Dvorak computer without overheating it and recover a stack of punch
cards that contain the data from its execution cycle.
After talking with Grim you need to get a stack of the output codes. Start the
process by activating the Main Server. Since you only need to worry about the
three machines on the left, just watch them until the tubes in them start to
glow orange and flip their switch. After the process is done, grab the stack of
outputs and leave.
*New Primary Objective*
- Exfiltrate to the primary extraction point
Exfiltrate from the main elevator in the living room of Zherkezhi's penthouse.
Time for extraction now. Head back passed the knocked out guard and into the
room nearest outside. Optic Cable the door and check to see when the guard out
side is away from you. Run back to the magnetic door and back into the door
leading into the room with the loud music. Sneak by that guard again and back
outside to the balcony with the crawlspace. Enter the crawlspace and sneak
passed the guard in the kitchen again. In the hallway, take the left door which
leads into a laundry room. Find the crawlspace and crawl through, dropping into
the elevator shaft. Drop into the elevator and call for extraction.
Mission Complete.

KEXP Reviews
|Browse by one of the following:
- (Acony)
The third album from this Nashville-based singer-songwriter is a sparse affair that mirrors the intimate sound she achieves in concert with her partner David Rawlings. The austere sound takes in elements of old-timey, blues and gospel with a bit of Tin Pan Alley pop and even a few hints of rock 'n' roll. A mostly somber recording, it sounds like an even more bare-bones version of her previous album, the bone-chilling Hell Among the Yearlings. 8/15/2001 - Don Yates

The $40 million facility will aid transfers between NJT's Atlantic City passenger rail line and the corporation's RiverLINE diesel light rail transit (DLRT) line in Pennsauken, N.J., which sits along the Delaware River east of Philadelphia. NJT buses also will serve the station.
The station has a 200-foot platform with a 60-foot canopy along the RiverLINE, with two 300-foot-long, high-level platforms above those platforms on the elevated Atlantic City Line (as shown in the photo above taken earlier this year). Stairs and elevators provide transfer capacity.
Though NJT officials reportedly hope the transfer station will boost ridership on both lines, particularly the Atlantic City Line, the difference in service frequency could pose initial problems. RiverLINE service is far more frequent, making transfers from the Atlantic City Line to the RiverLINE appealing but offering far less transfer incentive in the opposite direction.

» TouchTunes unveils compact Playdium
» AMI Continental supports music videos
» Tap TV adds new channels, Tanjarine brings tableside entertainment to restaurants
LAS VEGAS -- For street operators, the main events at this year's Amusement Expo were the exhibits belonging to the two digital jukebox titans. Both TouchTunes Interactive Networks and AMI Entertainment Network used the trade show in late March here to unveil and demonstrate some new products and updates to existing ones.
Both companies took the wraps off new jukebox models. TouchTunes' Playdium is a smaller complement to the company's Virtuo. It features a 23" screen, but its angular back only requires a 13" width to mount on a wall. And because the new box weighs only 67 lbs., one person can handle a physical installation. AMI unveiled the Continental, a jukebox designed for music video. Beyond jukeboxes, TouchTunes showed off its new tableside ordering and entertainment system, while AMI displayed two new channels, and several novel support features, for Tap TV.
According to TouchTunes, Playdium combines a revolutionary music experience that allows the jukebox to reflect the musical taste of each venue with a sleek, modular hardware design that dramatically simplifies service and support for operators. Like its predecessor Virtuo, which TouchTunes calls the first smart jukebox, Playdium supports multiple services alongside its music, including mobile apps, Karaoke and PhotoBooth. It features intelligent diagnostics designed to reduce service calls and facilitate remote support. It has a two-piece modular design; the system's core unit can instantaneously be swapped out with a new one and be sent back for repair.
Playdium runs TouchTunes' OpenStage 2 software, which enables venues to match music to their personality through a selection of curated profiles and powerful filtering tools. Over time, the system learns from the music most played in a venue and adapts to highlight the most relevant songs, artists and search results.
"Playdium is a leap forward in design and capability, creating a more personalized in-venue music experience for locations which will allow our operator community to provide a better solution and more value to their customers," said TouchTunes chief executive Charles Goldstuck. "In creating Playdium, we listened closely to the needs of our operators, and developed a smarter jukebox that is also extremely easy to service."
TouchTunes also showcased Tanjarine, a new tablet-based menu, payment and entertainment solution for restaurants. Tanjarine is a revolutionary, integrated dining and entertainment experience that allows guests to place orders, play games and music, and pay their bills, all from portable interactive tablets made available at their table.
Tanjarine is TouchTunes' second foray into portable location-based entertainment. In 2007, the company announced its PlayPorTT series, a cumbersome 17" slate-shaped touchscreen tablet that required a docking and charging station. The product was shelved a few years later. Tanjarine, on the other hand, is a 10" Android system ready to give other restaurant table tablet companies like Ziosk and E la Carte a run their money. TouchTunes believes its music and location know-how will give it, and its operator partners, a competitive edge in this new space. Tanjarine operates as a separate company with an office in Mountain View, CA.
AMI Entertainment is attracting patrons' eyes and is making money for operators with its new video music service. Video was introduced as an add-on product for AMI's Rowe NGX touchscreen jukebox, which broadcasts the visual portion to a TV screen in a location.
Now the music company is offering a new jukebox specifically for video. The AMI Continental has three distinct display areas: a 24" horizontal touchscreen user interface, a center display panel with a camera and microphone (reserved for future applications) and an upper area that holds an HDTV (36"-60", 80 lbs. max.). The main 24" UI station is equipped with a credit card reader and dual MEI bill accepter. Patrons can purchase music video content to play on the installed upper screen.
AMI has also made some enhancements to its mobile app. BarLink users can now access bonus credits that can be used to play free music, much like the bonus credits currently offered on AMI jukeboxes. The app tracks credits over a timed period in a location, not within an individual transaction, and stores them in a patron's account for use in the same location for up to six months. BarLink is now supported in Canada, too.
Additionally, AMI Entertainment has new channels and features for Tap TV, a narrowcast interactive television network for bars and restaurants. The Tap TV Poker connects players to a nationwide Texas Hold'em competition featuring virtual tables with up to eight players, bringing together local players and others across the network. Players view their cards and manage their wagers on their smartphones using the free Tap TV app; TVs in the venue display community cards, bets and hand results, as well as fun poker tips and promotional advertising.
Another new channel is Tap TV Excite, powered by a new ad management system. Tap TV Excite will allow locations to transform their connected TVs into digital signage arrays displaying custom ads alongside hours of viral licensed content featuring extreme athletes and trick-shot masters, among other exhilarating video. Tap TV Poker was expected to complete its beta test and go live in April. Tap TV Excite will be available soon. They join Tap TV Trivia, introduced one year ago.
AMI has made several updates to its operator website, including Ad Manager 2.0. This promotional tool lets operators use their Tap TV and jukebox screens to display custom ads promoting their own events and specials. Creating a custom ad using Ad Manager 2.0 takes only a few minutes and gives operators control over the days of the week, hours of the day and date range that the ad will display. Ads can be displayed on connected Tap TV units and AMI jukeboxes. AMI said that Tap TV operators will soon be able to view reporting for their locations and players. These reports include popularity for each channel subscription (Trivia and/or Poker), player information, and information and statistics broken down by game.
Both updates will be available on amientertainment.net in April.

I always hear Joanns and like fabric stores always getting a bad rap from, primarily, quilters. Why is it so?
I understand that Joanns, and such, does not always have the best quality fabric, compared to LQS, but I dont think it is as bad as people make it out to be. Ive heard several quilters say real quilters dont shop at Joanns (and most of us know that is ridiculous!).
I dont have much of a choice when buying my fabric. As some of you know, Im a college student and money is always tight. I love the fabric at my LQS, but unless I really, REALLY want it, I wont buy it, because I cant afford it. And the thing is when I shop at Joanns I always make sure to get the nicer quality fabric. If a fabric doesnt feel right, I wont buy it.
(Plus I dont think the best quilts have to be made out of the best fabric out there. The only time quality of fabric should be judged relatively harsh is when it is entered in a quilt show and even then sometimes it isnt the most important aspect of the quilt.)

(No longer) All Quiet on the Weapon Front
Greetings Weaponeers-
It's been a little quiet at RW HQ lately. Too quiet actually. After the frenetic posting schedule of our first few years, 2011 could be considered sparse, although I think some of our best comics were released this year. But the slow schedule didn't stop us from being honored by Paste Magazine as one of 2011's Top Ten Webcomics. Just being mentioned in that list of all those amazing webcomics (Kevin Church and Ming Doyle's The Loneliest Astronauts being a personal fave of mine) is humbling for our little buddy cop comic over here. And we're already working hard to make the list in 2012, which brings us to our infodump of HUGE announcements.
First, if the art above wasn't obvious enough, Dave Lentz and Rob Simmons are back to document the adventures of Frank, FELIX and the whole gang. They took a sabbatical to follow around a bunch of death metal bands that no one has heard about except for Satanists and mathletes. But now they're back. Refreshed, energized and ready to draw the hell out of some cartoon cop mayhem. Everyone give a nice round of applause to these dudes. We're happy to be one big family unit again.
Second, if the art above wasn't obvious enough, Registered Weapon: Career Day is imminent. What the heck is Career Day? It's another self-contained, 8-page story, similar to Date Night, that sheds some light on what Frank and Felix are doing when they're not chasing down killers. Dave and Rob sunk their pencil-y teeth into this story with exuberance and alacrity. You guys are going to love it. Just look at the gorgeous cover (NOTE: Felix is not shoved into a locker by Frank in the actual story. Sorry. Unfortunately, we thought of the idea after the pages were drawn.) Still, that's an awesome cover. Career Day should drop into your hands in mid- to late-January. We'll be hyping the exact date soon.
Third, if the art above wasn't obvious enough, due to popular demand, the Police Blotter is coming back! Seriously though, we're bringing it back just because people fricking love it. The site has more links back to and page traffic for random Police Blotters than any other content. Who knew? Seriously, I had no idea until the pattern emerged. So all of you Police Blotter fans out there…message received.
Fourth, if the art…forget it…fourth, Case 6 is coming soon. We're so excited to finally return to the familiar rhythm of a police procedural and the giant, over-arching story that has been building during the previous five cases. I don't want to give too much away but I do have an intriguing piece of art to share:
Has Registered Weapon been DC Nu-52'd? Have Frank and FELIX been replaced by a new pair of detectives, Law & Order-style? Check out the teaser in Career Day for the first clue. I will say that Case 6 picks up just a few days after Frank's epiphany at the conclusion of Case 5.
In the meantime, we suggest brushing up on RW continuity by revisiting the old cases again. Just click on the links in the Casefiles menu on the right and burn away that sluggish morning at work in no time.
Also, just a few thanks to make here. Big shoutouts to the guest artists who drew some wonderful RW comics this year. Clayton Johnston drew the hilarious Date Night (if haven't read it, do it now. NOW!), which features the best TATM moment of the year. Check out his work at Krakadoom. He's a great FOC (Friend of the Comic) and we look forward to working together again. As for President's Day, would you believe that was an 8-page script when we gave it to Will Harris? That dude loves to draw people talking and he expanded the boundaries of that story in ways that we are all thankful for now. You can read President's Day in one complete epic package here. And, finally, we'd like to thank all of the Weaponeers in Weaponland for their support. We're excited for 2012 and we know you guys will be too once the comics start rolling again.
See ya soon,
P.S. Awesome Hospital totally belonged on Paste's best of 2011 list. Sims, Bowers and Diggs killed it this year with the Awesome Hospital Forever storyline.

Phillies to utilize all options in bullpen
Kendrick may be club's long man; Bastardo to face lefties
By Todd Zolecki / MLB.com
How things change.
The Phillies have Bastardo, who has pitched just once since June 25, on their 25-man roster for the National League Division Series against the Rockies. Bastardo went 2-3 with a 6.46 ERA, making six appearances, five as a starter. Manuel and pitching coach Rich Dubee said they could use Bastardo to face left-handed hitters in the sixth inning or earlier.
But Bastardo's lone relief appearance Saturday against the Marlins could be a preview of his big league career.
Phillies general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. said Bastardo's career could be in the bullpen.
"One, it's probably need," Amaro said. "Two, just having observed him over the past couple years at the big league level, that might where he is most valuable."
The Phillies left infielder Eric Bruntlett and right-handers Clay Condrey and Tyler Walker off the postseason roster to make room for infielder Miguel Cairo, right-hander Kyle Kendrick and Bastardo.
"That was a tough decision," Manuel said about Cairo over Bruntlett. "But at the end, it felt like Cairo went to the Minor Leagues, he had playing time and he was sharper. He's swinging the bat better, and I felt like he was in a position probably to help us more."
Cairo hit .267 (12-for-45), while Bruntlett hit just .171 (18-for-105).
Manuel said he left Condrey (6-2, 3.00 ERA in 45 appearances) off the roster because the club feels he can only pitch to one, two or three hitters. Manuel said Kendrick can pitch an inning, but also can go much longer after spending most of the season starting with Triple-A Lehigh Valley. But with right-handers Joe Blanton and Pedro Martinez and left-hander J.A. Happ expected to be available in the bullpen, how exactly does Kendrick fit?
"We need a third game and a fourth game starter, so we can't burn those guys [Blanton, Happ and Martinez] down there," Dubee said. "Earlier in a game, we might use Kendrick. And in an extra-innings game, he's a guy who could give us some length."
Manuel said Martinez would not be in the bullpen in Game 1. They might be holding him back in case Blanton or Happ are used heavily, which would make Martinez available to pitch Game 4.
Amaro said left-hander J.C. Romero had successful surgery on his left elbow Wednesday. He said the recovery time is expected to be five to six months. Amaro also said right-hander Chan Ho Park, who is out with a strained right hamstring, could be headed to Clearwater, Fla., to continue his rehab.

What are the Cavaliers smoking? ????April 30, 2004 -- Don Chaney could resurface on the shores of Lake Erie. With the Cavaliers firing assistant coach Bob Donewald yesterday, Chaney has emerged as a top candidate, with the chance of being reunited with his former Celtic buddy Paul Silas.
The search process hasn't begun, a source said, but Silas is looking for a veteran assistant. Silas told The Post on Feb. 22 that he would consider hiring the former Knick head coach in the summer, saying he'd be a good influence on LeBron James. Donewald did most of his work with James. "It's certainly a possibility," Silas told The Post before LeBron's Garden debut. "[Don's] a special man."
Chaney, unceremoniously fired on Jan. 15, was last seen being escorted out of the Garden, holding his briefcase. Chaney is still on the Knick payroll through next season. He's been holed up in Houston for months. He spent the first couple of a weeks living at his home in Connecticut, but needed to get away from the furor and has since alternated between his homes in Houston and Galveston.

Empowering deserving military families with educational support and opportunities.
With the PGA TOUR in our backyard this week, we're taking the opportunity to head up to TPC Boston on Wednesday and Thursday. We'll be getting feedback from the players on all their FJ products, including ICON, SYNR-G and PureTouch Limited; we'll be taking plenty of photos to blog about our experience, and, we'll be set up on the practice range to talk to the players about FJ ICON and demonstrate all the custom options available through MyJoys.
If you're at the tournament Wednesday or Thursday, please come by the FootJoy tent on the range to say hello! We would love to meet some of you and thank you for making this community such a success.
Chris -- got any extra tickets...might be a bit of a drive from Detroit, but I'd consider it...
Good luck there Chris, hope the event goes well for you and FJ
Are you going to be by the BMW at Cog Hill at all? I know that there are a few of us in he mid-west that would like to say hi.
I would love to be there. Unfortunately, it's not in my back yard. Wish I could get out there to see some the custom ICONS and options.
Thanks for the heads up though! I hope some of the members will take advantage of this opportunity!
Sounds like a great time. Wish I was up in the area for this one. Make sure you take lots of good photos. If you make it down for the St. Jude Classic next summer, I'll treat for good Memphis BBQ.
I'll definitely be there on moving day...but maybe I will be able to sneak out of the office to catch some of the practice rounds on one of the other days.
Wish I could make it. It's a great idea. Have fun to anyone who gets out there!
Looking forward to the photos. Let us know how the ICON MyJoys are going to be received.
like mondo, its a long drive from michigan, but you guys enjoy and bring back some footage for the site.
Fishbone, I am entertaining the idea of flying over to Illinois for the BMW. I'm looking to fly in Tuesday morning (6:00am) and fly out Tuesday night (9:00pm).
I may see you there! I will let you know if all works out.
EM, I don't know yet what day I plan on attending. If you come in to town, post here. I may be able to get my hands on some extra BMW Hospitality tent passes.
Chris, I wish I could but I just can't get away today. I do hope to meet you guys soon though...
Great pictures from Wednesday. Looks like you guys had quite a turnout from the pros.
Fishbone, the outlook is bleak but I am trying to swindle something. Just taking a lot of negotiating! I will let you know. Thanks for the help!
Was anyone able to get up there and see those sweet MyJoys in person? Those photos were great! Thanks for sharing boys!
Are you going to be by the BMW at Cog Hill at all? I know that there are a few of us in he mid-west that would like to say hi.
thinking about heading down from Wisconsin to Cog hill, just not sure if the schedule will work or not. Let us know if you guys will be there.

When the lyrics to "Deck the Halls" were translated from Gaelic and published in English back in the 1800s, the word "gay" meant festive or merry. Today it has multiple meanings ... the trend of wearing festively decorated Christmas sweaters to parties is all about fun, and this ornament is intended to play into that, so the planning team decided to say what we meant: "fun."

Phillies blanked by Dodgers in Sandberg's debut
PHILADELPHIA -- At his introductory press conference on Friday, new Phillies manager Ryne Sandberg said Friday should have been dubbed "Charlie Manuel Day."

PHILADELPHIA -- At his introductory press conference on Friday, new Phillies manager Ryne Sandberg said Friday should have been dubbed "Charlie Manuel Day."
And for the most part, the attention was on Manuel, the dismissed Phillies manager. But there was still a game to be played, and Sandberg got to manage a Major League team for the first time.Full Game Coverage
The Sandberg era, however, started just like Manuel's tenure ended: With a loss.
The Dodgers beat the Phillies, 4-0, on Friday night at Citizens Bank Park. It was a hectic day for the entire Phillies organization, and Sandberg -- who served as the Phillies' third-base coach this season until the promotion -- had a lot to deal with.
"We're all human beings, and it was an emotional day for a lot of reasons," Sandberg said. "Some of the players have been with Charlie for nine years, even going back, adding that to some Minor League days. It hit me, emotionally. I had to get the wheels turning as far as managing, I almost ran out to third base. I was looking for my helmet, and that wouldn't have been a good thing."
The Phillies officially announced they were parting ways with Manuel -- the winningest manager in franchise history -- and promoted Sandberg to lead the team for the rest of the season on Friday afternoon. General manager Ruben Amaro Jr. said he and Manuel knew Wednesday. Sandberg learned of the move on Thursday, but players did not know of the news until Friday afternoon. And just hours later, they had to take the field.
Jimmy Rollins, who was the Phillies' shortstop for the duration of Manuel's tenure with the team, said the news caught him off guard. However, he added dealing with change is part of the game.
"Baseball is demanding. Change happens, but the game keeps going, it doesn't stop," Rollins said. "In the offseason, you get a chance to [reminisce]. But you know what happened, [I] got a chance to talk to Charlie and you go play a baseball game."
Sandberg, who spent six seasons as a Minor League manager, said he did get the chance to address the team in the clubhouse after the announcement was made. The interim manager said he reminded players of the opportunity and responsibilities they have as Major Leaguers.
"We just took it all in," left fielder Domonic Brown said of Sandberg's speech. "He said a few words. Even though he's a quiet guy, when he speaks, everybody listens. He said a few words and went on about his business. And we did the same."
Sandberg, a Hall of Famer, was tasked with taking over a team that has struggled mightily since the All-Star break. Entering Friday, the Phillies had lost 19 of their last 23 games, and it was more of the same against the Dodgers -- even with the managerial change.
For the 11th time this season, the Phillies were shut out, which spoiled Cliff Lee's best start since June 24.
Lee lasted eight innings, gave up three runs on five hits and struck out six batters. Hanley Ramirez delivered the big blow against the All-Star in the form of a two-run homer in the fourth inning.
Zack Greinke was again dominant for the scorching-hot Dodgers. He did walk four batters in 7 1/3 innings, but the Phillies mustered just three hits against the right-hander.
The Phillies' biggest threat came in the eighth inning after they chased Greinke. Runners were in scoring position for the heart of the order, but Chase Utley and Darin Ruf both struck out.
Sandberg said he thought the Phillies have had some "lackadaisical" play lately when he addressed reporters the first time. Rollins noted that players might be trying too hard.
"Not executing and lackadaisical play are completely different, but they look the same," Rollins said. "You see guys doing things, but it's not because it's a lack of effort. A lot of times, from what I've seen, is guys trying to do too much."
Friday was a day that will not soon be forgotten in Phillies history, and for however long Sandberg manages, he won't see another one like it.
Though the Phillies' playoff hopes have been realistically dashed for a few weeks, Sandberg and his team still have 41 games left on the schedule. He's hoping the upcoming days are more normal than Friday.
"I think all of us went through the same thing today, same emotions, went through the same conferences and all that," Sandberg said. "Hopefully tomorrow we get back to work, and the game does go on."

hi all, i have a business based in cape town and am looking to get my office connected with a fibre internet connection, as i am just fed up with the unreliability and poor speed of ADSL (have tried many different providers). however, there seems to be very little information on the options of getting fibre installed at this stage. there isn't even a forum branch dedicated to fibre on this MyBroadband forum.
So my questions are:
- What are the options for getting fibre internet installed to a business office in Cape Town.
- Generally what are the average costs? Install, and ongoing...
- What ISP's offer this as a service?
- What speeds can be expected?
- What is the reliability like?
Any other comments, suggestions, things to look out for, or reviews would be welcome.

Last month we were taken with sunkissis's decor for her Cirque du Bebe baby shower. She recently shared the results of her efforts in The Pregnancy Posse group.
I couldn't have asked for a better day. We hosted our own shower and had it at our house so our friends and family could see our nursery. I have been crying with gratitude from my friends and family's kindness. We had PF Chang's catered and Sprinkles cupcakes. All the guests took pictures with the instant cameras and we are going to put them in a scrapbook. We still haven't opened all the gifts, but I am super excited about two in particular. I love Bjork and our daughter's Godmother gave us a Bjork doll from Etsy! I was screaming when I opened it! My other friend made special "Bjork-inspired wrapping paper" for our gifts. We had the guests decorate a onesie for Olivia. Everyone wrote wishes for Olivia and I was full on crying when we read them tonight. Some were so sweet, and some were seriously funny. Jeff, our caricaturist was a huge hit, he made everyone look hilarious. I am so majorly happy how nice everything was. Everyone loved our nursery and kept telling us how lucky our daughter will be. I can't stop grinning from ear to ear.

Streep shock at Thompson Oscar snub
Hollywood star Meryl Streep has expressed her "shock" at Emma Thompson's omission from the Oscar shortlist.
Cate Blanchett, Sandra Bullock, Dame Judi Dench, Amy Adams and Streep have been nominated for leading actress this year.
British actress Thompson, 54, did not make the grade despite being heavily tipped for inclusion for her role in the Mary Poppins film Saving Mr Banks.
Streep, 64, who has been nominated for her 18th Academy Award for her performance in August: Osage County, has revealed that she emailed Thompson to express her dismay over the "injustice".
The Iron Lady star told The Ellen DeGeneres Show: "I was really shocked. I wrote her a long, heartfelt email about how bad I felt. She wrote back and just said, 'Good'."
She told the US chat show host: "There were a lot of surprises and injustices."
Streep said that she was "dead asleep" when the nominations were read out because she did not think that she "had a chance" of being nominated.
"I'm so old news...", she said. "There were so many performances this year that were great..."
Thompson was nominated for a Golden Globe and is in the running for a Bafta for her role as Mary Poppins' creator PL Travers, opposite Tom Hanks, who also failed to make the Oscar shortlist.
Streep's comments came after she criticised Walt Disney at an event where she had been invited to honour Thompson for her role in the film.
The Oscar-winning star called Disney, played by Hanks in the movie, a "gender bigot" who supported an anti-semitic industry lobbying group.
Disney's grandniece Abigail Disney, agreed with Streep's comments, writing on Facebook: "Anti-Semite? Check. Misogynist? OF COURSE!! Racist? C'mon he made a film (The Jungle Book) about how you should stay 'with your own kind' at the height of the fight over segregation!"
She said that Saving Mr Banks was "a brazen attempt by the company (Disney) to make a saint out of the man".

I having been having some type of furnace/thermostat problem on my Janitrol GMPN-080-4 gas furnace. Thought the problem may be a thermostat problem, so replaced my old Honeywell Programable Thermostat with a new LUX Programmable Thermostat. Problem continued, so contct LUX. After much testing, LUX determined that the Thermostat was faulty. They replaced with a like LUX Thermostat which I installed. Problem continued, so I replaced the LUX Thermostat with a new Better Honeywell programmable thermostat. I have also replace the thermostat wiring from the thermostat to the furnace. However, the problem persists. I have been working with a service tech from Honeywell to help determine the problem. After much testing, we have come to the conclusion that the problem appears to be a furnace system problem, and not a thermostat problem.
The - The furnace fan automatically will turn on, without any heat nor cool. On several occasions, I have had the sytem turned off - no heat, and the furnace fan would still come on. With the nice cool evenings, I have shut the furnace system off at the thermostat, so no cooling system. This afternoon, the furnace fan came on. Appears the fan runs for about two minutes give or take. It is like the furnace has a mind of it's own. When the furnace fan came on, as instructed by the Honeywell Tech, I removed the face plate of the thermostat, but the furnace fan continued to run. The thermostat "fan setting" is set on "Auto", and not on "Circ", so it should only run when the heating or cooling system is on.
I am now suspecting that the control board could be the problem. Is there a way to check before spending alot of $$ for a replacement?
Any other ideas?? My next step is to have a heating/cooling specialist come look at the furnace, but I wanted to get input first.

text: I guess we are getting way off-topic, but I still have to plug-in with one more observation: I worked for SCO for 7 years prior to the Caldera buyout which resulted in "The Dark Time" and SCO's transformation into the "The SCO Group" and it's litigous ways. There were a number of vendors developing and selling UNIX in various flavors for implementation on off the shelf hardware. SCO and ISC being the two largest and more successful. As far as I can tell selling those packages for $50 was just not cost-effective. SCO UNIX cost approx $300 at that time though it could be had for steep discounts. The company was doing pretty well but found that supporting a wider array of hardware and the need for customer tech support was driving the cost up. Eventually those two functions were turned into revenue generators, meaning customers had to pay for tech support per call or buy a contract and hardware vendors could pay for preferential development support (which most of the large hardware vendors like Compaq, Dell, IBM and HP did). Those were busieness trends and not technical issues and that seems to be what kills a lot of tech busiesnesses. They do not make the transition from small development shop to mid sized tech busieness to large technology busieness well, making bad busieness decisions along the way. Charging a premium for support and development at the very time the *BSDs, Linux and the lower cost Windows NT became available was a bad idea and came about at a bad time. IOW, $50 a seat for a *NIX with commerical support and backing was not technically or economically feasible. SCO was huge in the database on i386 market at that time and also in control systems (for things like power plants) and that requires a lot of work to support on the developer side. The free OSs have matured since then now the market has changed. -geoff Am 21.11.2007, 22:45 Uhr, schrieb Greg Lindahl <lindahl at pbm.com>: > On Wed, Nov 21, 2007 at 02:48:48PM -0500, Robert G.

"There is no poetic work in the Spanish language as exuberant and multifarious as that of Neruda, a poetry that has touched so many different worlds and irrigated such diverse vocations and talents.... Neruda's work will endure and continue to bewitch future generations of readers the way it has bewitched ours."Mario Vargas Llosa
"The ode, a form with origins in Greek choral poetry, was revived in Elizabethan lyric poetry. Since then, its emphasis has been shifted to rhetorical apostrophization expounding on the nature of things and ideas. Perhaps no modern poet is so practiced a composer of odes as Neruda, who vowed to pen one a week. This enormous collection features a wide range of his best imagery (the verdant texture of corn's green hair, green needles of rain), odes that express his discomfiting sympathy for Stalinist politics, and many that are focused on men and insemination and that turn attention back to the poet with a wink. The greatest draw of this bilingual edition is editor Stavans' decision to present the whole Chilean enchilada, as it were ... and 70 poems have been translated for the first time into English. A substantial gathering of universally influential work."Booklist

Before the season began, Sports Illustrated predicted the following Super Bowl scenario: Falcons over Chargers.
Alas, the Falcons lost their first playoff game. And the Chargers didn't even make it out of the regular season.
HCN refers to this sports story for two reasons. First: In its digital form, this article's reference to "Super Bowl" will score very high in search engine optimization logarithms. Second: The story illustrates how hard it is to look into the future with any degree of accuracy.
Consider housing starts.
Here was the NAHB's pre-season forecast for 2011 single-family starts: a 21% increase to 575,000 — delivered during a seminar that included the approval of an economist from Freddie Mac. Here was McGraw-Hill Construction's single-family housing forecast for 2011 — a 25% increase.
It turns out these were the football equivalents of predicting a Colts Super Bowl victory. (Note: The Colts were 2-14.)
Here's what actually happened: Single-family housing starts declined 9.0% to a record-breaking low of 428,600. The numbers are painfully clear at census.gov.
According to the NAHB's website, the group's 2012 forecast is for 17% growth in single-family starts. One has to admire this optimism. But is there a prognosticator with a better track record we can turn to?
The answer is yes. And here's the background.
Last year when the NAHB offered its optimism, two readers of this column — Byron Potter of Dallas Wholesale Builders Supply and Paul Gabbard of Malone Lumber Do it Best — told us with certainty that 20% gains weren't going to happen.
We reached out to this prescient duo for their thoughts on 2012.
Potter, who was very close to predicting a total starts increase of 3.4% in 2011, had this to say about 2012: "Our forecast shows that the first half of the year is a steady increase, but the last half of the year retreats. We are hearing reports about forecasts that show 17% to 22% growth — we want to believe that, but our sense is that at YE2012, growth in housing starts will be plus 2%."
Here's Gabbard: "I hate to keep sounding like a cynic, but the factors affecting housing (unemployment, foreclosure, low appraisals) still exist."
During this month's International Builders' Show, the NAHB will give its reasons for its double-digit growth forecast. Most likely, they will include pent-up demand, immigration, housing formation and the powerful urge of the nation's college graduates to move out of their parents' basements. All strong arguments.
We will listen patiently. We will write down their theories. But we must also consider Potter and Gabbard.
My forecast for 2012? Giants over Patriots.

Celtics top T-Wolves, 104-94
BOSTON (AP) -- Kevin Garnett scored 18 points, grabbed 10 rebounds and remained unbeaten against his former team as the Boston Celtics beat the Minnesota Timberwolves 104-94 on Wednesday night in Rajon Rondo's return from a two-game suspension.
The Celtics improved to 10-0 since they acquired Garnett from the Timberwolves during the summer of 2007. They also won for the 11th straight time against Minnesota.
Boston went 1-1 without Rondo, suspended for his role in a scuffle during a game against the Brooklyn Nets last Wednesday.
Rondo had 17 points and 11 assists. Paul Pierce scored 18, Jason Terry 17 and Brandon Bass 12.
Kevin Love led the Timberwolves with 19 points and 13 rebounds. Nikola Pekovic had 14 with nine boards.
Minnesota went just 6 for 19 from 3-point range one night after hitting a season-high 13 3s in a win over Philadelphia.
Boston, which led by seven entering the final quarter, scored 11 of the initial 14 points in the fourth and opened a 90-75 lead on Terry's 3 from the left wing with 7:50 to play. The Timberwolves went nearly 5 minutes without a basket.
The Celtics maintained between a 14 and 12-point lead over the next 3 minutes, keeping the Timberwolves from making a run by nailing a handful of free throws before a spinning, crowd-pleasing basket by Rondo made it 100-85 with 3 1/2 minutes left.
The Celtics used a 9-0 run over 2 minutes to open a 67-61 lead on Terry's 3-pointer midway into the third.
Minnesota, coming off a 17-point win in Philadelphia on Tuesday, scored the last five points of the half to grab a 51-47 edge at the break.
The Celtics opened the game 10 for 13, but cooled off late in the first quarter, missing six of their last nine shots and trailed 30-27 after one.
Love headed to the bench early when he picked up his second foul -- both on offense -- with 2:27 left in the first quarter.
NOTES: Minnesota held its opponents under 90 points in three of the past four games -- all wins. It's a commitment to defense that coach Rick Adelman saw at the beginning of the season. "We've had a great work ethic," he said. "The guys are working hard on it." The Timberwolves entered having allowed the fourth-fewest points in the NBA. ... Boston G Avery Bradley, sidelined since shoulder operations at the end of last season, said he expects to be able to practice in "one to two weeks." ... Boston coach Doc Rivers compared Love's ability to rebound to that of Hall of Famer Dennis Rodman. "I played with, I think, one of the greatest rebounders all-time -- Dennis Rodman," he said. "I watched him at the (London) Olympics and said, 'He seems to know where the ball is going when it's in the air."' Love then went out and grabbed an offensive rebound on Minnesota's first shot of the game. ... Rondo got a loud ovation when he was introduced in the starting lineups. ... Garnett played his 1,273rd game -- one behind Minnesota assistant Terry Porter for 17th all-time.
Lakers 103, Hornets 87
NEW ORLEANS -- Kobe Bryant scored 29 points, making him the fifth player in NBA history to score 30,000, and the Los Angeles Lakers snapped a two-game skid with a 103-87 victory over the New Orleans Hornets on Wednesday night.
Bryant entered the game needing only 13 points to eclipse the scoring milestone and did so with a short jumper late in the first half that was perhaps the least spectacular of his baskets, which included the usual array of soaring dunks, demoralizing transition 3-pointers and turnaround, off-balance jumpers.
Dwight Howard added 18 points for the Lakers, who trailed by a point at halftime but seized control with a 13-0 run to open the third quarter, and the lead grew as large as 20.
Ryan Anderson scored 31, hitting 5 of 8 3-pointers. Greivis Vasquez added 16 points.

I agree 100%. All my cars have a spare key as well, held in place with those magnetic holders. Very useful. As for my house, I have replaced the front door with a keypad entry system.

I ziptie a spare (flat, not folding) key to the big inside pocket zipper pull of my Aerostich. Doubles as a handy zipper pull for gloved hands.
I also have a flat spare key in a small ziploc baggie taped to the underside of the lid of the manual compartment under the seat. With 4" wide black tape it is secured, protected and even looking right at it pretty invisible, I even forget it is there. I use a ziploc because it also has a double-sided and folded up photocopy page with my drivers license, registration, insurance info, emergency info, etc.
I figure it is insurance against that great story about the guy who loses his key in the middle of nowhere, is thrilled he brought a spare, then loses that one too... I figure if I ever do lose my key I will use the zipper spare to unlock the seat (and fight the urge just to cut that ziptie.)

A big, intimidating friend of mine always left his key in the ignition and hence no need to take spares. On one trip up North, possibly to Alaska, he returned to his bike in Yellowknife to find his bike but someone had walked off with his key. Believe that it cost him $100 for a locksmith to create a new one.
To me a spare key (wherever you chose to store it) is insurance that if needed, should save you a lot of grief.

Before I started doing that I misplaced my key at the Sipapu NM Rally one year. After searching the grounds more than once and losing my sense of humor...Paul Glaves walked up and picked my key off my GS's metal footpeg, and with his usual jolly delivery asked "this it?"
Helen though she dropped one in the four inch thick carpet of wet/muddy leaves one time...found it later stuck to the bottom of her magnetic tankbag she carried out of the rain earlier funny story after the fact as they usually are.

Back in the early 1960's I kept a spare key plus a $5 bill inside my headlight. Today the spare key is there only now it's 2-$20 bills in a sealed plastic bag inside my headlight. Bob Childers
I keep a second key in the right-hand pocket of my jacket. It's the "pocket-behind-the pocket" - one of the pockets I never use.
One time I put my regular key in my pants pocket, then put on the Roadcrafter and, of course, couldn't find the key. "No problem", I thought after giving it up for lost. "I'll use the spare". It had worked its way down into the far deep reaches of the jacket pocket so far that I couldn't find it either.
I wouldn't say that panic set in but I did call the local dealer. While waiting for them to show up, I found the first key, then the second.
I never told anyone about that incident until now.
Now I'm embarrassed.
It's a tough job but somebody's gotta do it.

Jay-Z is the king of the rap game. Widely regarded as one of, if not the, best living rapper, Hov has the unique ability to make street-hardened music but still sell tons of records and hit singles. Beginning his career in the early '90s as a protege of childhood friend The Notorious B.I.G., Jay-Z has since set the record for Number 1 albums on the Billboard 200 (eleven total) by a solo artist. Despite all of his commercial success, no one can accuse him of selling out. Throughout his career he has always focused on making quality hip hop, and he never intentionally tries to pander to the Top 40 audience. Jay-Z is respected by rappers worldwide for his varied flow and complex rhyme schemes. All rappers strive to achieve the success that Jay-Z has had, and OurStage artist Jae Apollo is no exception.
Like Jay-Z, Jae Apollo shares a similar attention to detail in his flows. Check out his song "Rule The World Freestyle" and you can hear an emcee at the top of his game. In fact, this song shares some similarities in style to Jay-Z's debut album Reasonable Doubt, particularly the track "Feelin' It." Both songs are based around a dusty piano loop and a basic drum beat. The simple beat in both songs allows each rapper to showcase their complex flows and wordplay without the beat getting in the way. While the Jae Apollo song is slightly faster than Jay-Z's, both emcees use similar flows and continually change up their rhyming schemes throughout the song. "Sonnet 116" uses a similar technique with its beat, by looping a piano melody on a simple drum beat. However, this song has a somewhat darker tone with subtle synths used in the background to create an eerie effect. "Warring With The Devil" is another song that shows stylistic similarities to Jay-Z, but this song has more in common with the rapper's later career output rather than his early work. The beat uses the technique of speeding up samples and looping them that Jay-Z popularized on his album The Blueprint.
