... If only I had some programming knowledge to help with the process... =(
I would like a place to document the Lehmann method of dough making...If you need any help count me in.We could get up and running quickly with Django, ExpressionEngine, or Jekyll. I'd probably opt for Jekyll since it doesn't require an app or database server but they're all fine options.
My hat's in the ring too!Tom Lehmann/The Dough Doctor
No problem. I have enough programming knowledge to handle the framework and general design. I'd like to keep it absolutely simple though. No Flash intros or fancy animations. Just straightforward and easy to use.
Let me know what I can do to help! I'll be happy to contribute however I can!
Shouldn't the"What you need" list of items in #4 be an input (what do you have?) rather than an output? Else, you will cause the user to search through recipes trying to find one he has the necessary equipment to make. After style selection, I would say that available equipment is the most important user input. You could have an additional "suggestions" output that says something to the effect, for the style you are interested in, you could also make these recipes if you also had this piece of equipment.
You could have an additional "suggestions" output that says something to the effect, for the style you are interested in, you could also make these recipes if you also had this piece of equipment.
Your help would be greatly appreciated! For now, it would be great if you could compile a list of all ingredients that could possibly be used in any dough recipe, regardless of the style. Then, for example with salt, list as many types of that ingredient that have been mentioned in recipes for pizza dough, such as sea salt, iodized salt, table salt, etc. This will build the foundation for the selectors in the interface where we enter the recipes. When you're done with that, maybe a nice list of equipment that may be necessary for different recipes(pizza/baking stones, etc.)You can post lists here, just in case someone notices something that may need to be added. Thanks again, (I'm assuming your name is...) Derrick!
Good guess. Indeed, my name is Derrick. Perhaps we should set up a google document so that this can be more interactive amongst the group? This way, we're all accessing the most up to date document...Thoughts? I'll start putting significant time into pulling this together on Sunday (my day of rest). Our business has it's opening day on Saturday, so things are a bit nutty, but I can at the very least get it started. Let me know if we're okay with using the Google doc idea.
Actually, I wanted to make the database searchable from other points as well. Haven't come up with a complete list yet. Your point is valid though. If someone were to click on "Neapolitan Pizza", for example, I intend to have a warning for any unusually difficult equipment to procure. In this case "Warning: You will need a wood fired oven that can safely attain temperatures in excess of 420c/800f!" would show up well before the user has wasted time trying to select a recipe.
Actually, I wanted to make the database searchable from other points as well.
Only one problem with that. If you selected WFO, what should NOT appear? I think as the temp drops, you can find the sweet spot for any pizza. However, you are spot on! How about from the reverse...1. "Find recipes based on your oven and accessories" user clicks and is taken to...2. "Select all items that you DO NOT have" > user selects what he/she does not have3. Selections of styles loads that contain recipes possible w/o what was selected by the user > user selects recipe4. Recipe loads as usual
I think you may have missed my point entirely. For example, there are any number of ways to approximate WFO Neapolitan pizza without a WFO - from a cast iron skillet to a steel plate to a high temp counter-top electric oven. Lots of people come to both here and Slice looking for instructions on how to do exactly this. I'm not sure the right thing to do is tell them they are wasting their time if they don't have a WFO - rather tell them how to come as close as possible with what they have available. Isn't that your overall goal?To accomplish this, you really only need two pieces of info: 1) what style, and 2) what kind of oven/equipment. In each style, different recipe/oven combinations in the database could be assigned a rating based on closeness to ideal, probability of success, quality, or something similar. Then it's a simple matter of selecting recipes mapped to the various combinations possible for the unique user in rank order. Tweaks to the recipe based on environmental conditions, ingredient substitutions, etc. would start here, I think - not before.

D-backs shuffle roster for doubleheader vs. Marlins
By Steve Gilbert / MLB.com
Skaggs took the roster spot of reliever Sam Demel, who was optioned to Reno. Demel had been called up one day earlier and took the loss in Tuesday night's game.
Pollock was designated as the D-backs' "26th man" for Wednesday. Teams are allowed to add a 26th player for doubleheaders scheduled at least 48 hours in advance, with the stipulation that the player must be returned to the Minors following the second game.
Pollock had been up on two other occasions this season when the team placed players on paternity leave. With outfielder Justin Upton's status uncertain early in the morning, the team decided to carry an extra position player rather than an extra pitcher.
Upton's left hamstring feeling better a day after injury
PHOENIX -- Justin Upton was out of the D-backs' lineup for Game 1 of Wednesday's doubleheader, but the outfielder's left hamstring was feeling better one day after he was forced to leave the game in the first inning with tightness in the hamstring.
"I feel a lot better than last night," Upton said. "I got some treatment last night and worked on some things."
Wednesday morning, Upton had an MRI taken as well.
"I had an MRI this morning and everything was good. So as far as I know, I'm available off the bench," Upton said.
D-backs manager Kirk Gibson had already left Upton out of the lineup before the results of the MRI came back and said it was possible he could play Upton in the second game.
That would be just fine with Upton.
"I don't want to be out of this lineup, especially at this time," Upton said. "It looks good, so I'm ready to play."
Saunders not bothered by waiver-wire report
PHOENIX -- A FOXsports.com report said that the D-backs placed left-handed pitcher Joe Saunders on waivers Tuesday.
Players routinely get put on waivers during the month of August. If Saunders is claimed by another team, the D-backs can either work out a trade with that club, allow the claiming team to have him or pull him back off waivers.
Players must go through the waiver process to be traded following the July 31 Trade Deadline.
Recently, the D-backs put shortstop Stephen Drew on waivers and when he was claimed by the A's the two teams worked out a trade.
"Everybody gets put on waivers, it doesn't matter who you are," Saunders said. "I don't pay attention to it. Whatever happens is going to happen, I can't let it bother me."

And before any of the purist start telling me that Classic NY pizza doesn't contain milk products....hey we gotta do what we gotta do to compensate for our home ovens.
I think if I had the HP it would have been better.
Do we, Chau? He's already got his 7 minute bake. Thermodynamically, he's matched the pizzeria oven. The sort of extreme golden brown in Pino's crust could point towards milk/a non traditional approach, so it might be worth trying, but I don't think the home oven needs to be compensated for.
Are you sure Pino's doesn't paint their cornice with oil. It has a somewhat similar look to the browning of a Mozza crust.
I showed my wife your pics of the Pino clone last night and she said "That looks just like I remember it!"
Ok - I'll post this just because I found it pretty funny. The 24 hour dough ball turned out to be super flavorful, an awesome crumb, nice and tender, and had some nice crust blisters. The complete opposite of Pino's! This is almost a study in flour: gluten is not made equally, and those HG flours they use in pizzerias that are mixed intensively have a lesser quality gluten that does not turn into beautiful crumb structure. But I can say without a doubt the Pino's is a same day dough with minimal refrigeration - probably only for holding. So even subjecting KABF to 10 minutes of mixing still won't break it down.Marc - thanks for the paste recommendation. Near perfect with that addition. I tried another mozz but it is still not right. I need a larger grate to begin with.I need more top heat, plain and simple. Will be back this weekend with a modified formula and possibly different oven setup. Thanks again everyone.John
There are still some pretty cool neighborhoods in Boston - even if they are right next to that dump Brookline!John
Woah woah woah... and to think I was just about to compliment you....

That Stick-Figure Decal on Your Car Could Be Putting Your Family in Danger
They're all over the place—stick figures of a family stuck on the back window or bumper of a car or truck—but are these innocent-seeming decorations actually adding to a family's risk?
The group Search and Rescue Ohio posted the above image on Facebook, showing how a criminal might glean certain important information from car decals—and how he might use that against whoever owns the car. Seeing a child in a football helmet, for example, might mean that that child goes to sports practice after school. "Are you giving free information to criminals?" the image asks.
The image was shared more than 30,000 times, according to Search and Rescue Ohio, making it their "most popular post." But these warnings may be a bit overblown—it's entirely possible that a criminal has never actually used stickers on a car window as vital intelligence that enabled him to rob the family's home or kidnap a child.
That's the theory espoused by Jalopnik's Jason Torchinsky:
This is just stupid local-news fear-baiting. Don't fall for it, or, more likely, make sure your mom doesn't fall for it. You can put any kind of insipid stickers that you want on the windows of your car, and unless it's your Social Security number, you're not going to make yourself any more a potential crime victim than you'd normally be.
He makes a fair point (here's one local news station's story). And the only person who should decide what goes on your car window is you, after all. So if you think there's an added risk that comes with these decals, don't put them on your car. But it'll probably make no difference either way.

Chronic inflammatory polyneuropathy involves nerve swelling and irritation (inflammation) that leads to a loss of strength or sensation.
Polyneuropathy - chronic inflammatory; CIDP; Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy
Chronic inflammatory polyneuropathy leads to a common type of damage to nerves outside the brain or spinal cord (peripheral neuropathy). Polyneuropathy means several nerves are involved. It usually affects both sides of the body the same amount.
The cause of chronic inflammatory polyneuropathy is an abnormal immune response. The specific triggers vary. In many cases, the cause cannot be identified.
It may occur with other conditions, such as:
Other symptoms that can occur with this disease:
The doctor will examine you and ask questions about your medical history. The physical exam shows:
Tests may include:
Which other tests are done depends on the suspected cause of the condition, and may include x-rays, imaging scans, and blood tests.
The goal of treatment is to control symptoms. What treatment is given depends on how severe the symptoms are, among other things. The most aggressive treatment is usually only given if you have difficulty walking or if symptoms interfere with your ability to care for yourself or perform work functions.
Treatments may include:
The outcome varies. The disorder may continue long-term, or you may have repeated episodes of symptoms. Complete recovery is possible, but permanent loss of nerve function is not uncommon.
Call your health care provider if you have a loss of movement or sensation in any area of the body, especially if your symptoms get worse.

The Xbox is no longer a simple games platform — it's an entertainment hub — and to support that trend, Microsoft has revealed new information about its Los Angeles-based studio focused on producing "true interactive content." The 125 person effort is being spearheaded by Nancy Tellem, former president of CBS Television Studios who joined the company last year, and will expand upon the company's ongoing efforts with live events, such as the interactive polls it utilized during the Academy Awards. The studio, Tellem says, will be integral to the company's strategy to "pioneering the future of TV," which will include over 40 new TV and movie apps coming to Xbox in the next year.
They used gamers to take over the living room with entertainment crap and let the gamers down especially hardcore gamers. Well Good job because I'll never support them again I got away went to Sony. Peace MS!:)
I was afraid of this. Honestly i really hope MS doesn't let down their gamers. This is where Sony will win the hearts of more gamers if MS drops the ball.
probably 90% of next XBox will be about wont be even availaible outside of the US
I agree, I really hope they don't disappoint their fans. Xbox may not be top of my list for gaming (that would be PC), however those that do prefer it don't deserve to be cheated out of gaming for a media device.
They HAVE to get in touch with the core crowd that got them where they are. At least give them some good stuff to look forward to. Hoping for a great next gen for all companies. :]
MS sees a MASSIVE gap in the market right now. Everybody has a digital box of some sort whether it be cable/SKY/Tivo whatever and if they can provide that kind of content on there box while playing games? They could sell a ton of boxes. In theory anyway. However gamers are less likely to buy there consoles because of this as the games side of development will take the hit here.
They force Kinect on top of it? I think MS could be in for a rude awakening from gamers at least. Only casuals would be interested and then the price would be a key factor..
I think E3 will make it very clear what MS' intentions really are.
But the rumours and early signs don't paint a good picture as far as the Nextbox and core gamers are concerned.
However, you never know, MS could surprise us all and finally put RARE to good use and show us some core titles. It's all speculation at this point.
Is business suicide in this day and age. You kinda have to be the, ''Jack of all trades'' now more than ever. Tablets and Smart phones are threaten the gaming market everyday, because technology gets better and newer models (Tablets and Smart phones) are released annually.
Smart tv's are migrating their way into homes, and developers are branching out their titles to the Ios/Android markets.
I remember when arcade machines were ''da ish'' back in the day. Things change, so it only normal to expect N/MS/S to adapt or they'll be owners of a much smaller gaming market.
One thing M$ IS FORGETING is that 99% of this apps is for US market,and im pretty sure that they will loss plenty of Europeans fans by neglecting them!"pioneering the future of TV," in US!They are really thinking EU gamers will pick a new xbox without games...or that europeans are stupid and are going to pay for a new xbox for M$ to get the money in the bank and invest in apps for the US market.I dont think;thats why Sony PS4 is the console to get NEXT even for Europeans xbox supporters!Sony will give us what we want GAMES, and even Nintendo Wii u is a better pick FOR european consumers than the next xbox.
Here in Europe is actually quite expensive to get set-top boxes for bedroom etc , the 360 has proved useful with skygo personally , i can game on fifa then switch to real football when i feel like it . In my opinion their not narrowing the market to just casual gamers instead their wideing it to nearly everyone so that you can use it how you feel , you have a choice .
I live in Europe can anyone please tell me this 99% Im missing out on , I'd honestly want to know .
You basically said exactly what I was going to say, Microsoft has the money to offer a full entertainment experience without it hurting gamers.
Yesterday I made a comment in an article about how the PS4 was going to be heavily integrated with social networks, apps like Youtube ect.. All the Sony fans were in favor of it, yet if Sony were to advertise the PS4 for it's apps, it'd be the greatest thing ever, not so for Microsoft though apparently.
Sony is going to try and capture the entire audience just like Microsoft and Nintendo. I truly believe that people think Sony never tried to get anyone but so called "core" gamers? I mean that is kind of deluded thinking.
Look back to the PS1, a huge reason it was so popular was because it offered a variety of games and genres everyone could enjoy, it also had a CD player, a lot of casuals got into the PS1 because they could play CD's with it too.
Look to the PS2, it had great third party support, was affordable, had variety and a DVD player, the cheapest DVD player around! Obviously there is a huge group of PS2 owners who bought it just for that, those aren't core gamers. Sony has NEVER marketed their consoles to just one type of gamer.
With the PS3 they tried to attract casuals with Move, and they tried to get the family gamers back, the ones they had with the PS1/PS2, the ones Nintendo took, you can tell late in the PS3's life with titles like LBP Karting and PS All Stars and Wonderbook, they are trying to capture that whole group of gamers.
Microsoft is successful and is a business, they have to know the type of gamer that adopts early. I am not sure how ignorant some of the people on this site can be, but they are only lying to themselves if they think Microsoft isn't going to come out with guns firing.
Tired of hearing this crap about them not catering for 'hardcore gamers'.
You still get EVERYTHING available on PS3/Wii with the exception of exclusive releases.
The day EA, Activision or any other 3rd parties with huge profiles move away from a platform is the day you should be worried, until then try to stfu.
Your comment makes you sound like an idiot (I'm not calling you one so don't try to report me). What you should say is "On Wii U/PS3 you get all the games that the Xbox has, PLUS more". Why would anybody pay for less?
Why would I bother reporting you, as if I give a toss.
The real idiots here are the people who call themselves 'hardcore gamers' when they are in reality, mainstream gamers...the CORE audience. Somehow core has become hardcore, there ain't f*ck all hardcore about playing CoD and Fifa with 12yr olds online.
Anyway I digress, point stated; MS don't omit any gaming titles despite adding crap like Kinect and 10,001 TV channels. Something 99.9% of people seem to overlook.
"with the exception of exclusive releases" You hit the head there didnt you? Why buy an xbox over a PS if not for the exclusives? You buy it for netflix? I don't think so. If you do then epic fail man.. Especially as you said hardcore gamers in the same comment. Hardcore gamers care about the games and Sony seems to be leading the pack on this right now.
Thats the issue here MS seems to be happy with lowering the amount of exclusives and catering for the casuals. Trying to tap into that wii market again. It didn't work with Kinect (although they did sell well). I don't think its gonna work here either. With MS funding games could be HUGE on Xbox. Look what they did with Halo turned your average scifi shooter into a game everybody talks about. In reality its no better than the other 5 million FPS but with the backing and advertising MS put behind it they make you feel its something special.
Something Sony cannot do for there games even ones that truly are special like Uncharted.
@jadedz i have a tablet, a smart tv, and a very good phone, my tv is my hub and everything can be thrown to it.
I use my 360 as a music player but i don't want or need it to do anything else as all my other things have that covered.
If i want to use the internet its a quick press on my phone or tablet.
Why would i want to vote on tv programs its just silly.
Although i was impressed as was my daughter with kinect sesame street.
If ms go away from games i will be buying a playstation this time as i want a games machine to be the best gsmes machine
This is where I'm at also, I can't see a point in having tv and various other apps that I already have built into my tv.
I don't know exactly how it works in the US but here in the UK you get a cable/sky box free when you pay for a subscription. I'm with virgin media (for their 120mb broadband) I got a free tivo box that records all my shows among other cool media features. It's 'always on' so I'm nit going to turn on my xbox as well just to do the same things.
MS are going to have to offer me something special to make me drop the convenience already offered by my existing setup.
lol Doesn't matter million of gamers will support this and defend it and even pay extra for it.
M$ is really the apple of gaming but trying to be apple. This is why windows 8 s failing like Gabe Newell said it would.
It's selling worse than vista.
This is what xbox gamers want and support so good for them.
Between this
and this
xbox will still be the best gaming console to a lot of people.
Plus paying for multi player.
And now 40 new media apps? Not 40 new games?
I like that kinect is coming day 1! I want to see what happens to xbox as a home console and wonder if e3 will be mostly media.
Anyway I expect xbox 720 to be always online like a tablet, window 8 style UI or just modified windows 8 on it & kinect used for navigation(Hence the rumor of kinect needed to be connected).
Sony can add almost any feature without worrying about hardware limitation over time by using the cloud.
Next gen is super interesting already.
I think sony will go out of their way to show people ps4 can do everything but is a game machine first.
Also how did MS let bungie make multi plat games? They let their biggest developers ever make multiplat games? I thought they would have bought them.
Anyway never stop playing.
My only issue is if these are all going to be individual apps, that's going to be more work for people. Sure, you have all these possibilities, but who's going to keep up with what is on what?
What they need to be doing is working on a way to centralize each of these apps in a manner that people can search for what they want and get the app that provides it as well as a hub that highlights each apps current offerings.
@Kratos Well MS doesn't need you, nor few 100 of other fanboys support to be successful next gen.
Lol what's a few 100 fanboys compared to millions and millions of hardcore Xbox gamers?
MS will survive with you, just like how Sony survived with out its original adopters at the start of the gen.
Microsoft's reply to this....meh!
hardcore gamers....idk, but there is no doubt that Microsoft being ahead of Sony in a vision much different then Sony, will dominate what they will set out to do. Til this day Microsoft is still the a step ahead of Sony in overall entertainment.
i believe they won't have as much exclusives (no what they're trying to pursue anymore), but they will have the best multiplatform games and the best entertainment system.
Lost me... It would take some serious changes and extremely impressive innovation to even make me think of buying another Xbox product.
Even then, I have a really taint taste in my mouth from the joke that is the current Xbox slim Kinect console. I have no clue why people are still buying the thing. Are MS even interested in gaming any more?
If the next xbox takes off like a rocket and gets a huuge userbase, you know game publishers will follow them likes flies to ****, and force their developers to develop for it.
Why try to wrestle with publishers and game developers to try to keep them exclusive, if you're sooo big, that they simply cant afford not to develop for your platform.
This would convince me to get another xbox.
It won't make a bit of difference if the games suck a$$ and are not actually games that people want to play. A game console is supposed to be just that. All this social BS and connectivity Honkey is not what a game console is suppose to be.
It is about Games. Period.
MS have completely abandoned the hardcore that made the Xbox what it WAS. This will come back and bite them in the butt next gen. They keep pushing Kinect games that don't sell so you would think they'd learn their lesson by now.
the problem isn't that kinect games sell or do not sell, it's about the quality. i have more fun playing a SEGA Superstar EyeToy game than any Kinect game cause the recognition is broken and is so frustrating.
man those DBZ Kinect and Sonic Racing Kinect are the worst motion controlled games i've ever seen. but pigeons will always follow
Actually no it will not mess them up. Microsoft has made the gaming industry much bigger by inviting all facets of ages to play games together and have fun doing it (Kinect). My grand father use to hate us playing games, now he himself is up and playing and would always ask us to play with him...-_-
So give Microsoft it's props where props due. There are more gamers out there today then hc gamers.
Entertainment should benefit gaming, not abandoning gaming.
I can't stand CableTV and do not watch it... has been many years and will never again watch that trash... this pretty much means that XBOX is useless to me.
I want a Video Game system and nothing more I hope SONY gives us that because I already have a $500 machine that had an HDMi to connect to anything for my movies ext... its called a laptop.
Wow guess Microsoft really doesn't care about games at all anymore.
Glad I've been with Sony since I was 13 ever since the ps1 came out.
I'm 30 now and they've never let me down since.
"pioneering the future of TV," in the US!!!99% of this new apps are for US consumers and not for Europeans.Europeans and most xbox european fans will pick up the next Ps4 because they dont have nothing to gain from M$ next generation.I really hope good ridance do M$,but im european and since they dont show nothing of interesting for the EU market im sticking with just a PS4 next generation,atleast i know that sony will support gamers in EU with games!
How can you be blaming MS for EU/country specific laws that can restrict content. You do realize that EU PS3 owners are missing apps and content that are available in the US or JPN and vice versa, hence the reason why many PS3 owners create regional accounts.
Why do Sony fanatics consistently embarrass themselves?
I'm an 360 owner, i bought it a launch because I knew it was the most powerful gaming machine availible for at least a year and i knew the gpu wouldn't be as good in the ps3 and devs were struggling with the cell.
This time there won't be a year gap so i'm probably going to go with a playstation.
I live in the UK and know alot of the MS apps wont come here and it would be much worse if i lived elsewhere in Europe.
How can you say its not MS's fault for basing the console on American media if the rest of the world won't have access to it.
They do share the blame but MS is also an American company. You have to remember that any apps or content that are created are created through partnerships with their respective owners or bound by license agreements/regional laws. Have you ever wondered why hulu is restricted to the US/NA and the UK equivalent (lovefilm) is restricted to some EU countries?
With more partnerships in the US it's obvious there will be more content the same is true for the PS3 in Japan. You cannot also ignore the fact that most of the western worlds media primarily comes from the US.
i dont buy a console to watch TV but to play.
Very true, A lot of Tv sevices and apps are available on PS3 aswell but thats not Sony's main focus, Sony hasnt ditched the core gamers.
You wont be able to get the majority of those TV services in most countries. And Microsoft forces you to pay for XBL Gold just to access them even If they already require a fee.
Ok we know that sony isnt moving in the "living room" direction.....i understand that 6 more exclusives can drive u insane (this exclusive 4 gone on shops.....2 still in eternal production and from that 4...at least 2 was bad games)...to think that playing 5 games + than "me" mean that u r an hardcore player while im a idiot
i dont get why having apps and "non gaming" stuff on the console would mean in anyway...that they will not give u ms exclusives and 3rd party games...
If u search my old post.....ppl of my age 30 years or more....was just ASKING for what ms is just DOING...i want more than a mid lvl pc inside a box (looking at the ps4 architecture....well is just sthis) ....i want multitasking apps....an ecosystem....i want videochat i want a nice browser and cool games....
for what i understand ..."u" (pointed to sony cheerleaders) want just games....well to be right..u want just 5 games more than me....ok whatever to make u sleep good..im interested in more than that 5 games......(also coz i play in a lots of platforms.....xbox,ps,pc) so i dont never feel "oh my god i have no games!)...but the truth is....that when i played every games on the ps3...i just sold that (1 month ago)....keeping my 360 for just the APPS (oh i know im stupid coz ...boh i dont know..im just stupid right?)....(mediaset premium...cubovision) that ....sony dosnt give me
i think console need to grow up and moving away from what that small piece of marketshare (2%?) of 14 years old players called "hardcore".....to take everything
Ms wanna do bingo
Sony is pointing to the 2%
Maaaaaaaan what a boatload of crap, not ... to ... mention ... it ... reads even worse.
iF Wii, all: start/doing...this;it's (going2-b)...OnE, helluva.,.m3sS
And bingo?
Only on US, the navel of the earth, MURIKKKA!!!!!
just get a playstation, its free to play online and exclusive titles are better, enough said
i got cable ............i just want games ms
Clear statement, but somebody here thinks you do not have cable or don't want just games.
Probably MS itself.
*you want the next xBox*
*you want the future of tv*
*you want to be entertained*
*you want it*
*you want it*
The future of this, the future of that, but meanwhile in the present times of core gaming they almost got nothing to show for.
70 million 360's, about 40 million on Live, mainly for online multiplayer. The other 30 million are the casuals not interested in online so they don't have Live...so for the next generation MS has the brilliant idea of focussing on the casuals AND make them pay for Live? This way they're alienating both audiences. The core gamer will feel left behind and the casual will feel overcharged.
It can work, but then Halo 5 has to become the all-time best FPS the world has ever seen. MS better come up with some hallelujah titles that make core gamers want to stay. I for one spend more time on gaming every year BECAUSE TELEVISION SUCKS BIGTIME THESE DAYS!
Wow, a TV box MS? TV sucks hard, besides a few HBO shows, and that has a world wide app already.
More and more i get a sense that Microsoft will lose a ton of ground for the get go.
I like the idea of a do it all box that is games console, pvr and media player... but as a gamer I need it to do the big games first and do them as well as, or better than, the competition. This is the key point. If MS stray from this guiding principle then they might make inroads into the living room for media but they will lose a lot of gamers, myself included.
As a UK gamer I use my Xbox for games 99% and BBC iplayer/Sky Go 1%. That's not going to change.
My Sky HD box is a very capable pvr. MS needs to be wary of trying to do to many things - too many fingers in many pies. They may end up doing many things at a mediocre level.
@animal mutha 76
ok mysky hd is what i have too and its great
but u know what?..what if in someway they put the "on demand" section just up the app over the xbox?
here in italy we have mediaset premium too.and the ondemand section is great and is fantastic to have it on the xbox..with cubovision and all the other apps
to have two mysky hd in two tvs..u need to pay for "multivision" that is just the double of the main fee...(sky is just crazy)..with the xbox u have all this things on another tv for free (well not free u pay xbl to have it)
the main good thing is that ms understand that most of ppl r bored to have millions platforms to do each thing
- itunes for music
- tablet or phones for easy fast arcade gaming
- smarttv or android or ios for apps
- set top box for dvr cable tv
- console for games
- pc or tablet for browsing internet
well..they givin an big answer to this
have u seen the xbox music? is like itunes plus ITS FREE..on w8 with 1 commercial after 3 or 4 songs i find it fantastic..have u seen the browser of the x360? honestly is x10 times better than that ps3 mobile crap browser ( i admit that at least it stream flash..SOMETIME)
but flash is old..and also the new MEGAVIDEO (the site is called now just mega..is only html5)..imagine what it will be on x720
well all the xbl was better then psn..like all the os of the xbox was more "flashy and beauty" than the bar of the ps3
now they wanna give u more apps...more integration with their ecosystem (tablets,pcs,mobiles)..an ecosystem that sony dosnt have coz sony isnt the owner of the 90% pcs Operating system..Windows
they can try to revive the failing vita with some integration with the ps4...but u know what? they should cut the price to 150$..coz none would buy a "controller" that cost as much a wii u
oh i forget the hated kinect...that finally in the x720 will have enough ram...an 100Gflops audio chips (the entire ps4 8 jaguar cores cpu have 100 gflops) and if u dont trust in me just check what "insiders" r saying on neogaf like bkillian (was working on the durango)
well and kinect will have also a separated chip..and 100% infrared
maybe finally we will have that device that we dreamed about for years where u can control ur machine with hands and voice ( im not talking about gaming ..so dont start with that boring crap...coz i could answer ...also sony put out the ps move..but it fail hard...x10 more than kinect that sold 20 milions of pieces)
add the usual franchise ...like gears,halo,forza,forza horizon,alan wake,fable......add some new ips (we know already that we have at least 4 new) add timed AAA+ big exclusives like...Destiny will be (bungie game)..add probably the best support from 3rd parties ....like was for the x360
as i said in my first post in this thread....well u can love ps (and ill buy it too after the x720) u can love their "type" of games...and that 5 famous exclusives that have more than the xbox....
but if u compare all the other things....well xbox is just ahead......if u cant live without that 5 games......u need to buy the ps......if u just dont care..and prefeer "all the other things".....u NEED just the xbox
if u have enough money buy both..and say gtfu ..to the fanboys
ps. ppl r bored to have 10 devices to do 10 things
is like saying "oooh is stupid to have the Air conditioner in the car....if i wanna have some fresh air i got the ac in my room ....or i have a big portable fan"...ecc.ecc
faster u understand this...faster..u will understand where the market is moving..and why ms is pointing on that ;)
- corner of 1st and main
How serious?
- complete fubar, hurry up
Ta-tu-ta-tu wew-wew-wew ta-tu-ta-tu
Your period usage privileges are now revoked.
So what are the odds that the price for Gold stays the same it is now?
Xbox the new cable box. I would have never seen that coming three years ago.
If the 720 has a coaxial input, then we'll all know whats up.
You never saw the articles about Microsoft partnering with cable companies for IPTV several years ago.
there seems to be a bit of a schizophrenic air to ms when it comes to the xbox.
on one hand they seem to be all about all these new multimedia features, at the cost of games, but then they also seem to be using those multimedia features more as a tool to sell live.
if they really believed all these other services were the future of the xbox they would make sure every xbox owner could use them.
I think people are being really short sighted when they look at things like this. First off, companies survive by diversifying. Entertainment, including gaming is a ever growing section and any major company should be trying to get their foot in. Things like this are the things that will benefit everyone in the end. Whether or not Microsoft handles it correctly.
Here's how. Right now there are a few people that decide what gets greenlighted for us to see. Expanding that number of people is always a good thing. Look at some of the main shows gamers are into. AMC did Walking Dead. Would we ever have seen that if we were still a 4 network ten channel nation. Nope. Look at all of the great shows HBO have brought us.
Then look at what Netflix is doing with House of Cards and Arrested Development. I was watching the Browncoats reunite about Firefly the other day. I loved that show. What if a Microsoft or Netflix picked that up after it was dumped by Fox. How many shows would still be around if their were more choices.
If Microsoft was to offer a bunch of Apps that connected to high quality exclusive new content, I'm all for it.
not even going to read this or anyones comments enough was said with the title thats why next xbox will lose next gen war cause there worried about putting more tv crap on the nextbox instead of focusing on ips and other stuff. im sorry but all next gen should focus on gaming it is what made them what they are a gaming consle not a tv box. i have been a gamer going on 20+yrs im buy these sytems to play games not watch tv thats what cable is for. one more thing off topic is the gold membership most people like myself who pay for netflix and hulu why do i pay to pay to watch them when i can go on pc or ps3 and dont have too? its just a way to make more money for ms cant believe people actually pay for that crap. thats like going to someone and just giveing them your money thats all your doing.

11 Unique Tablescape Ideas for a Baby Shower
We'll admit it: More than a few of us at Country Living harbor ladies-who-lunch fantasies. But we prefer our fancy finger sandwiches leavened with a generous side of fun. Case in point? This whimsical fete dreamed up by Julie Murphy, founder of stationery company Jack and Lulu. Drawing inspiration from Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland—especially the Queen of Hearts—Murphy devised a Valentine's Day celebration that never veers into treacly territory. On the menu: clever invites, top-notch teas, a bit of bubbly, and, of course, those delectable little finger sandwiches.
"I thought it would be fun to send out an invitation that actually looks like a tea bag," Murphy says. Follow her lead by typing your event information in a Microsoft Word document and printing it onto a four-inch-square piece of card stock. Place the card inside a 4 1/2"W x 6 3/4"H glassine bag and fold back the bag's top two corners. Next, fold over the top of the bag by one inch and staple the whole thing shut. To really make it resemble a tea bag, Murphy punched a hole at the top, then added a length of twine and a "tag"—in this case, a scalloped-edged construction-paper circle accented with a paper heart. To make the polka-dot inner envelope, print out our template here.

DePauw Theatre Presents The Heidi Chronicles, April 12 - 15
April 9, 2012
The Heidi Chronicles is "not just a funny play, but a wise one," noted the New York Daily News. This Thursday-through-Sunday, the Pulitzer Prize-winning show will be staged at DePauw University. You're invited to enjoy the performances, which will take place in Moore Theatre, located within DePauw's Judson and Joyce Green Center for the Performing Arts.
Written by Wendy Wasserstein, The Heidi Chronicles questions how women have benefited from the women's movement by tracing the life of a female art historian. Offering a story told with grace and sensitivity, the play is a stirring assessment of the progress of a significant generation -- a time when the status of American women suffered profound, and sometimes troubling, change.
The story follows the chronicles of the main character, Heidi Holland, who comes of age during the pivotal years of the Women's Movement. Starting from her high school years in the 1960s to her career as a successful art historian, the play's main themes revisit the changing role of women during this time. It won the 1989 Pulitzer Prize for Drama.
Through Heidi's relationships with both men and women, we watch her struggle to determine what women have really gained and at what cost. The Heidi Chronicles incorporates a stimulating mixture of probing intellectual questions and old fashion theatrical humor.
DePauw's performances on Thursday, Friday and Saturday will begin at 7:30 p.m. The Sunday matinee will begin at 2:30 p.m. Tickets are $6 for adults and $3 for students, and will be available for reserve or to purchase at (765) 658.4827 or email@example.com

Astros land closer in Valverde
Team sends Burke, Qualls and Gutierrez to Arizona
By Alyson Footer / MLB.com
Valverde, 28, was 1-4 with a 2.66 ERA and a Major League-leading 47 saves for the Diamondbacks in 2007. His 47 saves also marked a career-high total, and he appeared on the National League All-Star team for the first time.
The Arizona franchise-record 47 saves also ranked tied for 15th all-time in a single season, and Valverde also struck out 78 hitters in 64 1/3 innings while walking 26 and allowing 46 hits.
"In Jose Valverde, we're adding an All-Star closer and one of the best stoppers in the game. He led the Majors in saves last year and most of them came in tight, one-run situations for a team that was in the thick of a pennant race," general manager Ed Wade said. "He's a huge addition to our pitching staff.
"We believe that Chad Qualls would have done a fine job for us on the back end, but acquiring a pitcher like Valverde, who has excelled in the ninth inning, made tremendous sense for us."
After making sweeping changes to the bullpen, Wade likes how the back end is shaping up. Manager Cecil Cooper will ultimately decide who pitches when, but Wade believes the club has extremely capable candidates to absorb those crucial seventh and eighth innings.
"Doug Brocail turned in great numbers last year," Wade said. "And Oscar Villarreal is a durable guy who can give multiple innings. Cooper can use him in a lot of latter stages."
Wade also mentioned Geoff Geary, Mark McLemore, Wesley Wright and Ryan Houston as contributors. Felipe Paulino and Chris Sampson will contend for rotation spots but could also receive bullpen assignments.
"I like the way we're set up," Wade said. "We gave up a lot of talent in Qualls, Chris Burke and Juan Gutierrez, but adding Jose Valverde puts us another step closer to being a championship team."
Burke wasn't entirely shocked by the news that he was traded, considering his fate was pretty much decided when the club signed second baseman Kazuo Matsui. Still, Friday's announcement put to an end a tense couple of weeks during which Burke wondered about his future.
"There's some relief finally having a destination," Burke said. "I was prepared to be traded ever since we signed Matsui. There's some relief in that, but at the same time, it's surreal that it's finalized and I'm no longer an Astro. It's certainly an awkward feeling."
Qualls' name had surfaced here and there in trade rumors, but the right-hander was still taken back by Friday's news.
"It was hard to take," he said. "I've been with Houston since I got drafted in 2000, and it's all I know."
Qualls spoke with former teammate Russ Springer, who put his mind at ease regarding the Diamondbacks.
"He played for them and he said he liked it there," Qualls said. "They're a contending team. They just added Dan Haren and he's good. Baseball-wise, I think it's going to be great. Family-wise, there are a few things we have to figure out."
Qualls recently was married, and his wife, Tara, is a Houston native. The two were planning to split time between Houston, where her family is, and southern California, where Qualls is from.
Qualls understands trades are part of the business, and although he knew he could possibly be dealt this winter, he felt strongly that he would be back with the Astros in 2008.
"I knew people were asking about me," he said. "It's been like that for the last couple of years. I thought I was going to hang around. Nothing was brewing. All of a sudden, I get a call and bam, it's happening. It's hard to take in and it probably won't soak in for a couple days.
"I'll enjoy the opportunity in Arizona. Your first trade is always tough. This is the only organization I know. That's the way the game goes and I know it's how it goes. But it's hard to swallow."
Wade surmised that he is likely done making moves on the trade front, but he's still working on a couple of free agent starting pitchers. He was hoping to sign Glendon Rusch, who instead went to the Padres.
"There are a couple other people we're talking to and I think there will be an opportunity to add volume to mix and quality, as well."

ARLINGTON, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nike (NYSE:NKE) today unveiled its next generation of Nike Pro Combat uniforms and cleats that top collegiate teams University of Oregon, Boise State University, and University of Florida are expected to wear as they take the field in this season's upcoming bowl games.
NFL players Ndamukong Suh, Clay Matthews, Dwayne Bowe, Felix Jones and Steven Jackson were also on hand at iconic Cowboys Stadium to introduce the Nike Air Zoom Alpha Talon cleat and the 2011 Nike Pro Combat uniforms to several hundred guests and media.
"NIKE, Inc. is the leading, most innovative football company in the world and the top choice of football athletes at every level," said Kris Aman, Vice President of Athletic Training. "Our success is based on creating breakthrough products and experiences unmatched in our industry, helping write the next chapter for Nike Football."
The Zoom Alpha Talon Cleat
Nike Football's most advanced cleat ever, the Zoom Alpha Talon Cleat leverages the most innovative technologies to meet the performance needs of every position. Working with elite athletes, Nike designers delivered improved footing at full speed with an innovative on-demand, adaptive traction system. The interior cleats in the forefoot extend when full pressure is applied for more traction when needed and retract when not. The Air Zoom Alpha Talon cleat also features a Flywire upper for lightweight lockdown, a low-profile cushioning system for comfort, and Nike Pro Deflex padding around the ankle for breathable protection.
"This new cleat gives me the traction and protection when and where I need it most," said defensive star Ndamukong Suh. "Nike Football keeps raising the bar, giving players the best cleats in the game today."
The 2011 Nike Pro Combat System of Dress
This redesigned base layer and uniform deliver the ultimate in breathable protection for superior speed. Nike designers strategically placed seams, pads and cooling zones to help minimize distraction, while optimizing protection.
The uniform design emphasizes thermoregulation by featuring Nike Pro Deflex padding with two-way airflow to cool the body and wick away sweat. The jerseys are made of four-way stretch woven twill that sheds moisture. A Flywire collar eliminates two layers of fabric for improved breathability, providing a more stable anchor to keep the jersey in place.
The uniform also provides enhanced protection throughout the crucial "hit zone"--between the knees and shoulders--delivering robust padding without the bulk. Nike Pro Deflex padding has also been integrated in the hip and knee areas of the pant for crucial impact protection that stays in place. The base layer now features customizable protection, incorporating a thin, incredibly strong carbon fiber plate that comes in two different sizes and can be placed where needed.
Three elite football programs will debut the 2011 Nike Pro Combat System of Dress during bowl games including:
- Boise State Broncos: Las Vegas, December 22, 2010
- Florida Gators: Tampa Bay, January 1, 2011
- Oregon Ducks: Phoenix, Arizona, January 10, 2011
Texas Christian University (TCU) will be debuting the new Air Zoom Alpha Talon cleat with a new version of their current 2010 Nike Pro Combat Uniform in Pasadena, California, January 1, 2011.

Katie Kraska '13 Will Study Wildlife Conservation in Indonesia as Fulbright Scholar
April 5, 2013
DePauw University senior Katlin "Katie" V. Kraska is the recipient of a Fulbright U.S. Student scholarship and will use the award to conduct research and study in Indonesia during the 2013-14 academic year.
A double major in biology and art history, Kraska will work in Ujung Kulon National Park, which she describes as "the last wild habitat for endemic wildlife species such as the Javan Rhino." Her Fulbright project "focuses on giving tangible benefits to local communities surrounding the park for conservation efforts in the form of tourism revenue."
Sponsored by the U.S. Department of State, the Fulbright U.S. Student Program is the largest American international exchange program offering opportunities for students and young professionals to undertake international graduate study, advanced research, university teaching, and teaching in elementary and secondary schools worldwide. Fulbright student grants aim to increase mutual understanding among nations through educational and cultural exchange while serving as a catalyst for long-term leadership development.
"My project will investigate ways to manage land that concurrently supports viable wildlife populations and benefits the surrounding local communities," Katie Kraska wrote in her application for the Fulbright award. "I will focus on Indonesia's growing tourism industry as a tool to achieve this goal.Last year the tourism industry in Indonesia rose by 10%. Arguably the most biodiverse country on earth, Indonesia's archipelago of islands harbor charismatic megafauna species -- such as the orangutan, Sumatran Rhino, sun bear, tiger -- and natural environmental features making it attractive to tourism. However, most of these species are classified by the International Union for Conservation of Nature as endangered due to human impact of environmental degradation, poaching, exotic pet trade, and habitat encroachment and loss. In other words, the tourism industry is growing while what it depends on is shrinking, both at a very rapid rate."
Kraska notes, "Human development plans tend to overlook the impact that construction and agriculture have on the natural environment. My aim is to investigate tourism as a way to make the natural habitats that wildlife need profitable to people."
The senior spent four months in Kenya and Tanzania with the School for Field Studies Wildlife Management and Political Policy Program, and worked as a manatee summer research intern with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. In Indonesia, Kraska will work under the direction of Krishna Pribadi, a professor at the School of Architecture, Planning, and Policy Development at the Institut Teknologi Bandung.
"My career path has come into focus over the past three years, and the research and resulting solutions that I will investigate in Indonesia will bridge my academic interests into real world application," she writes. "My graduate studies, hopefully at the Indiana University joint Environmental Science and Public Policy Program, will also be centered on understanding the relationship that local communities share with native wildlife. I believe that understanding and utilizing this relationship, through participatory action and local knowledge, is vital for sustainable wildlife conservation."
Her application concluded, "I will always feel responsible for the welfare of sentient beings. Having grounded experience in similar research, in equally foreign environments, I am confident in my abilities to generate, execute, and present meaningful research in a realistic time frame. In addition to these qualifications, I am able to build relationships with people. This sounds simple, but the importance of friendship and mutual understanding is essential not only for my research project but to make Bandung my temporary home. I have a strong desire for purpose and to love what I do. Previous experience and unwavering passion have led me to this potential opportunity to protect wildlife and empower local people in the Ujung Kulon area. My urgency in this pursuit cannot be overstated, because the species at stake, once lost, cannot be regained."
The Fulbright U.S. Student Program currently awards approximately 1,800 grants annually in all fields of study, and operates in approximately 155 countries worldwide. Fulbright full grants generally provide funding for round-trip travel, maintenance for one academic year, health and accident insurance and full or partial tuition. Since its inception in 1946, the Fulbright Program has provided about 310,000 participants, chosen for their leadership potential, with the opportunity to observe each others' political, economic and cultural institutions, exchange ideas, and embark on joint ventures of importance to the general welfare of the world's inhabitants.
DePauw University is listed among the "Top Producers of Fulbright Awards for U.S. Students, 2012-13" in the Chronicle of Higher Education. DePauw was also cited as one of the USA's top producers of Fulbright Fellows in the publication's 2011, 2009, 2008, 2007 and 2006 listings.
See the names of DePauw's Fulbright recipients here or visit the University's Fulbright page.
DePauw students and alumni who are interested in applying for Fulbright Awards may contact David N. Gellman, associate professor of history, or Marion "Marnie" McInnes, professor of English and women's studies and director of nationally competitive scholarships.Back

Saw this on the Newegg homepage. I'm thinking about returning my Acer Iconia to Best Buy and grabbing this for just $200 more. I know Geoff wasn't too happy with the keyboard, but it gets really good customer reviews. It would really come in handy for when I go back to school in a few weeks. I also read something about the 3.2 update bringing Netflix support. I'm sure I could get it running anyway, but I'm more comfortable with official support. Besides all that, I really like the UI and it seems a TAD faster/smoother than the Acer (when I used it in store last time I was at BB).
Anyway, thought I should share!

Cashner limits Yanks as bats take care of business
SAN DIEGO -- No offense to Mariano Rivera, but Padres manager Bud Black would just as soon not see the Yankees' closer and all-time saves leader once this entire weekend.
"Hopefully, fans can see him before the game ... and not during it," Black said.Full Game Coverage
SAN DIEGO -- No offense to Mariano Rivera, but Padres manager Bud Black would just as soon not see the Yankees' closer and all-time saves leader once this entire weekend.
"Hopefully, fans can see him before the game ... and not during it," Black said.Full Game Coverage
There was certainly no need for Rivera on Friday night, as the Padres got to CC Sabathia early on their way to a 7-2 victory over the Yankees in front of a sold-out crowd of 44,124 at Petco Park.
The Padres (51-59) got home runs from Logan Forsythe, Jedd Gyorko and Will Venable on their way to a lopsided victory over the Yankees (56-52), an impolite greeting to be sure for New York's first visit to San Diego's downtown ballpark.
The Padres' offense, which pounded out 14 hits, and the pitching of right-hander Andrew Cashner helped make the start of this series one worth remembering.
For different reasons, of course.
There was the pregame ceremony with former Padres closer Trevor Hoffman handing over a brand new beach cruiser to Rivera, the man who passed Hoffman for the all-time saves lead.
Then there was the capacity crowd, a loud and lively bunch that Gyorko would just as soon play in front of every night.
"It was great, probably the best crowd since I have been here," Gyorko said. "I don't see any reason why we can't have crowds like that every single night, so it was good to see them come out and support us."
Said Cashner of the crowd: "It was electric from the first pitch."
The Padres got to Sabathia (9-10) for two runs in the first inning and then two more runs in the fourth inning, as Forsythe had a solo home run and Everth Cabrera -- as part of a four-hit night -- had an RBI triple.
All told, Sabathia allowed five earned runs on 11 hits with three walks and four strikeouts in his 5 2/3 innings.
"The key to the game today was our ability to lay off the low pitch. We laid off a lot of borderline low pitches," Black said. "We had some good opposite-field swings, too. We put the pressure on him."
The Padres chased Sabathia with a run in the sixth inning, when Chris Denorfia took a fastball away to right field for an RBI single. Gyorko and Venable hit their home runs off Yankees relievers.
"It's been some different things," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said of Sabathia. "Today, he gave up a lot of ground-ball hits. You look at the first inning, two ground-ball hits."
For Gyorko, it was his first home run since June 7, though he did miss 30 games with a right groin strain. He entered Friday's game hitting .100 (5-for-50) in his first 13 games since coming off the disabled list.
"I'd been struggling and I put a couple good swings earlier in the game that didn't just quite drop in," he said. "So it was good to finally get that one so I can build off that from there."
There wasn't much for the Yankees to build off Friday, though they squared up a few balls while facing Cashner (8-5), who allowed two runs on seven hits over seven innings. Most of those balls the Yankees squared up were hit right at Padres defenders.
"I thought the results were really good for Cash," Black said. "The last three or four starts leading up to this, his changeup wasn't effective. But tonight, it was good. The fastball was good, too. It had them dancing."
After scoring twice in the second inning, the Yankees didn't score again. They finished with seven hits -- only three of which came after that second inning.
Cashner, who has won his last three starts and hasn't allowed more than three earned runs in each one of them, said he has room to improve.
"I thought I pitched OK tonight," he said. "I thought our defense played really well behind me and made some plays, got out of some tough spots.
"But I think there's a lot of room for improvement. I've got to command my fastball, throw my slider."
Cashner, who collected his 10th hit of the season in the fourth inning, was most happy with the way he was able to score from first base in the fourth inning on the RBI triple by Cabrera.
"I thought the biggest part of the game for me was going from first to home and coming back out and throwing up a zero," he said.

There's a good chance Melo's gonna play
There's a good chance Melo's gonna play
Our 18-5 Knicks have to beat the 11-12 Rockets without Melo in the lineup ..
Melo earned another game-off to rest his injury. This game we need to see
Novak, JR, Brewer, and Copeland step-up their game performance on offense/defense
replacing Melo for a WIN at the Garden.
Felton has not stepped-up his performance from his Bobcats daze, nor has
Felton prove to be a better team-player at the point than a rookie "Linsanity" ..
whomever disagree need to watch Felton performance for 5 straight games
without Amare or Melo in the lineup.
Felton's progress under Jason Kidd's tutledge is coming along slowly as a team-player
on both sides of the court, but the real test for Felton is tonight at MSG vs
the Rockets backcourt trio of Harden, Lin, and Toney Douglas ..
Will Felton take advantage of the Rockets backcourt weakness n flaws like the
Lottery Raptors did last night for a Raptors WIN?
Tonite's game at MSG is all on Felton's performance ..
or should Woody give team-player Pablo 30 minutes of playingtime at the point for the Win.
I like the way Deamons thinking here....I mean we're looking for revenge here so if we don't win by 30 I will most likely be done with the NBA until next year
that was worst game in Houston
mentionet that Ewing was outplayed by Olajuwon but Knicks were up 3-2 and Rockets was lucky that Olajuwon bloked Starks 3pt shoot but game 7 was nightmare for Start
and Oneal was Swept by Olajuwon
i hope for more passes than foolish shots by Felton if Melo will not play.
you guys did a great job as always....Knicks win by 8...106-98....book it
Knicks are a double-digit favorite in Vegas. Knicks minus 10 as we speak. The game total is the same as the area code, 212
Knicks by A LOT
I liked what Felton said about lin being back to MSG. His statement this time was better than his statement last time we played houston.
He basically said that he should get a warm standing ovation.
All i care about is felton being mentally wise not stupid like last time when he said before the game: "iam better than lin".
Melo or not, we got no excuse to waste a win tonight, how big is it? this really doesn't matter. We know we are better than houston, all we need now is keep this winning streak alive and keep being undefeated at our home court.
My Knicks are awesome, and this shall be the year of ultimate greatness
Lin was stopped totaly by Heat before title
and Felton send tsunami 6/10 treys and won vs heat and their floor.
and i read somewhere that current Knicks style which they r playing is very uncomfortable for heat to D
Breaking: Melo officially out.
It looks like Melo is out again. I bought a friend of mine tickets to the Nets game for her birthday and she's a huge Melo fan. I hope he can suit up for that game

Jessica Alba and Honor Warren on Play Date | Pictures
Jessica Alba Gets In Some Girl Time With Honor in LA
Jessica Alba Gets In Some Girl Time With Honor in LA
Jessica Alba and Honor Warren matched, wearing their crossbody bags on their way to a playdate in LA yesterday. Jessica watched her oldest and a little companion while they carried to-go drinks and giggled together. The mother-daughter outing came after a weekend of family fun — Jessica, Cash, Honor, and Haven got into the Halloween spirit with a visit to Mr. Bones Pumpkin Patch on Saturday. Honor is not the only one who got some one-on-one time with mom recently though. Last week, Jessica spent time with baby Haven on the East Coast, where she unveiled her new line of products for The Honest Company.

Recent medical studies hail the safe use of conducted energy weapons
The use of the TASER®, conducted energy weapons (CEWs) has increased in popularity among law enforcement and correctional agencies. Presently over 8,000 law enforcement departments utilize them (TASER International, 2007). However, since there have been a number of sudden deaths and injuries of arrestees following deployment of the TASER, numerous concerns have emerged regarding the safe use of the device. Questions regarding the safety of CWEs have prompted several research projects. Because the use of the TASER has increased over the use of oleoresin capsicum and impact weapons, a review of recent research is important.
In 2006 Stroke and Huston, published a medical case series article which analyzed 37 autopsy reports of decedents who died after exposure to the TASER® from 2001 to 2005. All of the subjects were men, ranging between the ages of 18 to 50 years. Cardiovascular disease was found in 54%, illegal substances were found by toxicology screening in 78%, and 86% within that group were found to have been using stimulants. Excited delirium was determined in 76% of the cases. The use of the TASER was considered a potential or contributory cause of death in 27%. This research was the largest and the second study to analyze autopsy reports of those exposed to CEW applications. Kornblum and Reddy (1991) studied 16 deaths after the use of the TASER and found no causal factor of death associated with its use. Stroke and Huston concluded that those that died after the use of the TASER are individuals who were already at a high risk for sudden deaths, particularly those who are exhibiting extreme agitation, those with a history of stimulant drug use, and those with preexisting heart disease.
Ho et al. (2006) performed a medical study for TASER International which assessed the effects of the TASER on human subjects. The researchers were unable to detect, following a 5 second TASER exposure in a healthy population, any induced dysrthymias or cardiac cellular damage that could be related to sudden death, They did report, however, blood pH, and metabolic acidosis could increase the risk of cardiac arrest.
Chan et al. (2006) exposed 32 subjects to a 1.5 second cycle shock to the TASER. Prior to exposure, the subjects' baseline measurements were taken. All of the subjects were monitored for six hours after the exposure. They found no evidence of hypoxemia or hypoventilation. Further, they found a moderate increase in respiratory rate for ten minutes but found no significant clinical changes in cardiovascular rates. Changes in blood levels were not evidenced.

Beary invited the media to the event as part of the training given to members of the Taser Review Committee. (AP Photo/Peter Cosgrove)
Ross (2007) analyzed 47 autopsy reports from 20 states from 1999 to 2006 of individuals who died after exposure to the TASER. Of these incidents, 85% occurred in a street arrest situation and 15% occurred in jail. All of the decedents were men, 54% were white, and the average age was 35 years. Heart disease was found in 85%, 65% had an enlarged heart, and 35% exhibited other internal organ abnormalities. On average the TASER was applied in 2 cycles of 5 second intervals. In 75% of the cases the cause of death was due to cardiac arrest due to drugs and excited delirium and 10% of the deaths were caused by acute exhaustive mania. No direct linkage to the use of TASER was correlated to the cause of death.
Ross (2007) also analyzed 75 police agency reports from 22 states on the applications of the TASER in 34,000 arrests from 2002 to 2006. Of these arrests the TASER was deployed in 6,010 or 18%. The agencies reported that suspect injuries decreased by 66%, minor injuries were sustained in 35% of the arrests, and officer injuries declined by 58%. The effective rate of the use of the TASER was observed in 94%. On average lethal force incidents declined by 48%, excessive force lawsuits declined by 52%, citizen complaints declined by 52%, and no deaths were reported.
The most recent medical study researching the injury potential of using the TASER was performed by Bozeman et al. (10/2007) from the Wake Forest Medical School. The Department of Justice funded the study for the purpose of performing the first large, independent study which assessed the injury and severity of injury after exposure to the TASER. A multicenter cohort study was conducted at six police agencies across the country. All arrestees exposed to the TASER were included in the study from July 2005 to June 2007 which totaled 962. A tactical physician at each agency reviewed police records and medical records for each case.
While these studies do not represent all medical research on the subject they do reveal emerging significant findings. All but one of the studies involved independent research. What is important about these studies is that they have moved past studying the effect of the TASER on animals and have researched its impact on humans. The Bozeman et al., Ross, and Ho et al. studies analyzed incidents from actual field applications. The Bozeman et al. study is particularly noteworthy as it applied a longitudinal design with multiple sites with almost 1,000 suspects. The study shows that the injury potential of using the TASER is statistically insignificant supporting its safe usage.
The collective findings of all of these studies support the fact that the TASER is not causally linked to sudden deaths of suspects, that there is an extremely low risk of injury to a suspect, and that there is no evidence that it causes cardiovascular effects linking it to sudden death. This is not to suggest that the TASER is totally risk free. While rare, there have been limited significant injuries sustained after the use of the TASER. These studies, however, are important as they underscore the initial development of the TASER, in that it was designed to safely control resisting subjects by decreasing the injury potential for the subject and the officer. Officers using the TASER are encouraged to closely follow their training, policy, and use of force legal standards in a continued effort to maximize its continued safe application.

Discussion in 'Shoes and Apparel' started by mrmo1115, Jan 3, 2009.
how much for the matte black/red vapor VII? What size are they?
We can not discuss buying/trading matters in this section.
Just shoot me an email email@example.com
Doesn't mean he'll wear it and he probably won't.
I just score these BNIB off the BAS:
Simply wow dude, those are daaaannnk
where'd you get them? bay?
Yessir, BAS = Big Auction Site.
this colour looks sick!
Oh thank you soooo much for buying me this very early christmas gift, shoot me an email and Ill give my p.o. box LoL! Dude those are ill, nice buy for sure.
Finally found a pair of these bad boys, they have a warranty too!
Bought these off of the forums.
I love the colour and design of AO 08 Breathe..
Aren't those cages the 'Engine Red' colourway from later on? I can't remember which season they're from, but I'm sure they're a later colour than the Oz open '08 ones. I think those were a more orangey colour weren't they?
I'm leaning towards something from 2009. I know that Nadal started wearing the courtballistecs at the 2009 Australian Open. The last cages that I can remember were the gray and yellow ones that Delpo wore at the 2009 US Open. But yes, they are the engine red ones, not the orange ones that were from the first release back in 08.
Nadal at the Australian Open 2009 was wearing these Cages...
I thought it is the 2008 Australian Open because the style is really similar and I've seen it in mrs-boots that it was also written as Australian Open 2008.. and Nadal wore green in FO 08, White/Red(inside) during USO 08, while Wimbledon is always white..then he changed into CB in 2009..
2009 When he won the semi with Verdasco...The first slam he played with the CB 1.3 was the French Open (white/black/pink ones)
So Nadal wore Cage during AO 09?
Yes, but these ones were just made for him ...Unluckily they were never released for public sale.
ic.. thanks for the information.. btw, how about the red engine colour above? what do you think for that shoes? just want to clear the confusion here..
Nadal Australian Open 2008
Nadal US Open 2008
I am not sure if Nike released two colorways really similar, Zasr4325 might be right
This link might help http://tt.tennis-warehouse.com/showthread.php?t=171964
yeah, Rafa's colourway for US Open is red for the cage, but for the retail edition, the red is inside the cage.. not sure for AO 08, but for me, they look the same with the pic posted by tennis_enthusiast.. but I am not sure because Zasr4325 said AO 08 is more orangey..
thanks for the link.. so what do you think after comparing the pic from tennis_enthusiast with the link you gave? Frankly, for me I still feel they are the same.. or maybe something is wrong with my eyes for the colour.. I hope not..
Well, I honestly don't remember all the models from 2008, but I think you might be right ( about myself, I own the Wimbledon ones )
I hope so, I remember the shoes because I helped my friend to buy the AO 08 and USO 08 and I have FO 08 and I think no other Cage is similar with AO 08 except USO 08(because of the red and white) during that year..
Those cages look like they could be the US Davis cup version that Blake wore.
Nike did somewhat re-release that colorway. The colors were Engine1 with black. The colors Rafa wore in the '08 Oz Open were Engine1(600/630) and Soft Grey(002).
oh!yeah, I remember Blake wore that one..
Thanks for the information.. so it means the pic is not Rafa's style?
My new and old kicks - I'm in the UK but have the black swoosh on my 3.3s
10 char
Yes it is the same style that Rafa wore.
those Zoom Breathe Frees are LEGEN wait for it....
Just to clear up any confusion about the cage 2s. The ones tennis_enthusiast posted were originally released back at the 2010 Oz open I believe, mainly because of del potro's continued use of them and his recent success at the us open probably leading Nike to believe the line could still sell well. So they released this engine red colourway, which is slightly different from the original cage 2 colourway.
The original cage 2s
The slightly updated ones released for the 2010 Oz open. Delpo didn't wear these (he had moved onto Nike's "replacement" shoe, the breathe 2K10s) which does make it seem a tad strange that Nike would release another colourway if one of their top players wasn't going to promote it.
Rafa was wearing the cage 2s in the courtballistec PJ colours for the entire spring hard court season in 2009, and only switched to the courtballistec 1.3s during the clay season. Delpo continued to use the cage 2s throughout 2009, and after winning the US open and getting to the WTF final in them, Nike probably wanted to capitalise on his success, so they re-released the cage 2s in the engine red colourway for the 2010 Aussie open.
thanks for the information zasr4325.. Finally now, the confusion is clear..
The seller still has some small sizes left.
can't find my size..
Fan of the 7's then? The one's in the middle are so white it hurts. Love the colour on the left
I haven't worn the White/Black 7's. Hence the colour haha. Picked the White/Black/Blue up first and liked them, so got the White/Black and White/navy/red ones on sale as well. The cages are pretty good though.
Love my shoes. The cages are hand painted. Never wore the other two cages or the vapor V. I want to sell one of the cages and the vapor V. Also my most favorite federer crew. Too bad its a little too big for me...
what size are the V's? email me at firstname.lastname@example.com
what size is your Fed Crew? do you have any extra? email me firstname.lastname@example.com
can anyone help me find a pair of
blue w/ black swoosh 2K10s
white and lime CB 2.3s
thank you!

Just got these today! =D
Nice, I'm liking the new range of Bab shoes, especially the red ones. How do they feel? (I've been using Barricades for about 4 years!).
I can't speak for the new Bab's 3 but the propulse 2- I have those same pair above- they felt great, very comfy, great feel of the court- However- coming from CB's they lack support for me. They're a very flexible shoe- and for me there's not enough support- my knees started to hurt and I had never experienced that before- so I went back to the CB's, but wear the propulse because they're just that comfy!
Very comfortable and well ventilated. The fitting is amazing due to the velcro straps eliminating the empty spaces in the shoes. The VibraKill thing does eliminate shock quite well. Compared to my old shoes, the Barricade V, these are a lot better.
These will hopefully be mine at the end of the month.
to my above post
Is that Barricade?

As far as objectivity. I gave him a shot but again I've become a hater for what he consistently brings to the table which is nothing.
So I listened to his comments about Lin.
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
Fast forward to 25 mins.
My conclusion is this: SAS does not know what the word "marginal" means.
His comments are pretty contradictory. Either that or he mentions Lin's good points to justify laying the smack down on him.
A marginal player in the NBA is a scrub which he says Lin is not. Marginal players are 3rd string players. Marginal players have marginal stats. There are no regular starters in the NBA who I'd say are marginal players.
Is Lin a hall of famer? Probably not. Is he in the top 10 PGs in the league? Maybe not. That doesn't mean he's "marginal."
The other reason why he looks bad is that Lin is essentially a rookie. It's unfair to judge players so early in their career. It would be more appropriate to say he was inexperienced, has a lot to learn or is green. Give the guy a few years to develop before labeling him.
But labeling aside, Lin's stats have been great. Yes, he's had games where he was shutdown but he should be judged by his total body of work. The kid was clutch in the 4Q today much like he's been this season.
He's probably doing it for ratings but SAS is a grade-A a**hole in my book.
Stephen A.Smith is the African American version of Mike Fatcessa. He yells at callers and purposely gets fans riled up so his show can get high ratings. The only good thing that he's ever did throughout his broadcasting career was tell people that Lebron was going to South Beach.
Humility is a virtue and pride is a vice.
This guy isn't very educated or at least he is coming across as a moron. It is such tragedy for anyone to use the word "marginal" to describe a starting PG that averages close to 18 points per game, 7 assists, 4 rebounds.
Posted this a page up.
SAS don't even know what "marginal" mean. Maybe i'll help this dude.
/ˈmɑrdʒənl/ Show Spelled[mahr-juh-nl] Show IPA
adjective 1. pertaining to a margin.
2. situated on the border or edge.
3. at the outer or lower limits; minimal for requirements; almost insufficient: marginal subsistence; marginal ability.
4. written or printed in the margin of a page: a marginal note.
5. Sociology . marked by contact with disparate cultures, and acquiring some but not all the traits or values common to any one of them.
SAS on right now. Tune in fellas! We'll discuss whatever afterwards.

Turns out that Metallica must have been pleased with its first annual Orion Festival in Atlantic City, New Jersey last June because the Bay Area metal band has just announced a date and city for 2013. The now-traveling festival is scheduled to hit Detroit, MI June 8-9, with venue yet to be announced.
In addition to Metallica serving as headliners, the festival will feature a wide array of genres, from metal to country. Examples of musical diversity could be seen in Atlantic City with country artists including Eric Church, blues rocking Gary Clark Jr., alternative's Cage The Elephant, the indie scene's Best Coast, New Jersey punkers Gaslight Anthem as well as metal legends Sepultura.
In addition to musical acts, festival-goers will enjoy a car and motorcycle show as well as art exhibits, Kirk Hammett's Horror Crypt, skate ramps and more. Highlights from Atlantic City weekend can be seen in two videos and a photo gallery.
According to frontman James Hetfield, the band has played many festivals over the years and wanted to improve upon the experiences they've seen in the past.
"We've been thinking about this for a while," Hetfield said in a press conference. "We've been doing festivals for thirty years, and we know what we like and don't like. We've seen what other people have tried to do, and we wanted to do it better. It just seems that most of the time, you're either doing one style of music, or it's all kind of crazy different styles. We wanted to get something in the middle."
With tickets and line-up set for a February announcement, Metallica has asked fans to monitor the Orion Festival's Twitter and Facebook feeds for updates.

CLARKSVILLE - The University of the Ozarks baseball team took a pair of American Southwest Conference games from LeTourneau University on Friday.
The Eagles (17-6, 5-7 ASC) scored three runs on two hits in the top of the eighth and John Scheuring pitched two strong innings late as Ozarks took a 7-4 win in game one.
With the score knotted at 4-all in the eighth and the bases loaded, the Eagles scored twice when Jimmy Pannell reached on an error by the third baseman. Logan Kizer followed with a sacrifice RBI to give Ozarks a 7-4 cushion. Scheuring then sealed the game by striking out three of the final five batters he faced. Scheuring gave the Yellow Jackets' (10-21, 3-9 ASC) offense fits as he struck out six and gave up only one hit in two innings of relief. The sophomore lefty from Bryan, Texas, moves to 2-1 on the season.
The Eagles trailed 3-0 after one, but stormed back to take a 4-3 lead in the second. Ozarks had just two hits in the frame, but took advantage of four LeTourneau errors.
Scott Dietz finished the game 2-for-3 at the plate.
John Glenn and Robby Finnell combined for seven hits and five RBI as the Eagles cruised to a 9-4 win in game two. Both collected two RBI apiece to highlight a five-run seventh inning.
Ozarks had a 4-0 lead after the top of the fifth. Bruce Cameron recorded an RBI triple and John Glenn had an RBI single to give Ozarks two runs in the frame.
D.J. Braswell (1-0) received the win after pitching 61/3 innings. He struck out three and walked only one.
Glenn was a perfect 4-for-4 with three RBI. Finnell went 3-for-4 with two RBI and Cameron went 2-for-4 with two RBI.
holds on for win
The Eagles ninth-inning rally against LeTourneau University was a little too late as the Yellow Jackets held on for a 6-4 victory in American Southwest Conference play on Thursday.
LeTourneau mounted a 6-0 advantage after seven complete innings, but the Eagles scored twice in the top of the eighth to cut it to 6-2. Todd Koch and Cory Briggs each picked up an RBI in the frame. In the ninth, the Eagles loaded the bases with one out, but were only able to score two.
Curt Dixon (3-3) received the loss. He went eight innings, struck out six and gave up two earned runs. Glenn finished 2-for-5 at the plate. Koch provided two RBI.
Ozarks will face Arkansas Tech University at 6 p.m. Tuesday at Tech Field in Russellville.

Another view?
View more of the Las Vegas Sun's opinion section:
• Editorials - the Sun's viewpoint.
• Columnists - local and syndicated writers.
• Letters to the editor - readers' views.
Have your own opinion? Write a letter to the editor.
Dear reader,
Every election year, the Sun talks to candidates about the issues and their plans for office should they be elected. Two questions I like to hear candidates answer are:
1. What are the issues people are talking to you about?
2. What's your vision for Nevada in 20 years?
The answer to the first question this year has been almost unanimous, no matter the party or position: improving the economy and education.
The answers to the second question vary greatly. However, I appreciate when people share their thoughts, regardless of whether I agree with them. We all come from different backgrounds and experiences, and we're going to disagree. Given the way things are going, we could use more conversation about the issues.
As we noted in last Sunday's paper, the Sun's new project Nevada 3.0 is designed to look at questions like those being posed to the candidates, but the discussion shouldn't end with the people running for office. Your thoughts are important.
So let me ask you the questions:
1. If you could set the agenda for the state, what would your top three priorities be?
2. What is your vision for Nevada? What would it look like in 20 years?
(Bonus points if you have ideas about how to get to your priorities or vision.)
We would like to hear from you. You can send a letter to the editor or post a comment on the website. We'll publish a sampling of what we receive in hopes that we can start talking about your ideas and thoughts of what Nevada should become.

Turns Out Justin Bieber's Birthday Wasn't That Bad. Also, He's Not Trying to Get Kids Drunk.
Tween idol Justin Bieber may have had the "worst birthday" of all recorded time, but despite reports claiming otherwise, it most certainly had nothing to do with trying to sneak his 17-year-old fling, Ella-Paige Roberts-Clarke, and Will Smith's 14-year-old son, Jaden Smith, into his goblin-themed circus party.
According to a claim on his Instagram — where all the most official statements are made — the Biebs did not try to get them into the London nightclub Cirque du Soir at all. Also, turns out maybe it wasn't the worst birthday ever.
As he explained in just a caption with no accompanying photo, Bieber wrote:
"The funny moment when people believe I brought underage people to a club.. U think Will is letting his 14 year old in a club, I don't think so.. 2nd I love how the club wanted to give the press another reason to why we didn't stay at their weak ass club so they wouldn't look bad for me walking in and right back out..i said m 'worst bday' but that was due to dummies pushing over my fans and being overly aggressive. Btw it wasn't the worst bday cuz all my friends from back home flew in I was just mad in the moment"
He then took to Twitter to explain the reasoning behind his rant, writing that sometimes venters just need to vent.
Sometimes u just wanna vent and not be quiet. I love my fans though. Just gonna chill with friends. London shows this week
— Justin Bieber (@justinbieber) March 4, 2013
It ain't always easy but is what it is. Gonna stay focused.
— Justin Bieber (@justinbieber) March 4, 2013
For the record, Bieber turned 19 on Friday, which would keep him out of US clubs (well, the ones that aren't willing to break the law for a superstar, anyway) — but the drinking age in the UK is 18. So he was legal, but it seems part of his posse definitely wasn't.
No word on whether Jaden Smith was even there, but given the tight leash Will and Jada Pinkett-Smith keep on their kids, we'd be pretty surprised if he was out carousing in the middle of the night with anyone (let alone someone doing shirtless perp walks). And if he was, he's probably sooooo grounded right now.

By Jeremy D. Larson
Incubus frontman Brandon Boyd will betray his band/the Son of God for 50 dates on tour this summer in a new production of Andrew Lloyd Weber's rock musical Jesus Christ Superstar.
The "arena rock show" will also feature Boyd as Judas, Destiny's Child member Michelle Williams as Mary, 'NSYNC emeritus JC Chasez as Pilate, and Public Image Ltd. and Sex Pistols punk legend John Lydon as King Herod.
Jesus Himself will be played by Ben Forster, who was the winner of UK's reality contest show "Superstar," similar to "Grease: You're The One That I Want."
Boyd and Williams performed "Superstar" on Good Morning America this morning, which you can watch below. Boyd said before the performance, "It's completely new, and it's incredible."
