Friends and Colleagues:
Welcome to Mr. Hunter's new blog, simply designed for two purposes:
1) To keep many of you updated on the status of Mr. Hunter's position with the NBPA. Many of you have graciously inquired about the well-being of both Mr. Hunter and his family during this challenging time.
2) To provide a strong preliminary rebuttal to the Paul Weiss Report which was one-sided in content and not characteristic of Mr. Hunter's successful 17 year tenure of the NBPA.
Therefore, the links below will lead you to the preliminary response to the Report (including a brief executive summary) and importantly, a presentation we were prepared to deliver in Houston during the NBPA Mid-Winter Meeting. Many players expected to hear from Mr. Hunter in Houston and have expressed dismay that he has not not been invited by the interim leadership regime -- whose authority to place him on administrative leave is not supported by the union's Constitution or bylaws. Therefore, Mr. Hunter was left with no choice but to communicate with the public in a more direct manner to ensure that his response to the allegations was heard without filter.
As we have all been taught from childhood, there is always another side to the story that should be evaluated in any circumstance and before any judgments are made or actions, once taken, cannot be reversed.
Again, Mr. Hunter has appreciated your many calls, texts and emails.

Acme Party Box Company: Party Supplies with an Eco-Conscience
If you've ever sighed heavily after filling multiple garbage bags cleaning up after a party, then you can appreciate the concept behind Acme Party Box Company. Their slogan, "Party. Rinse. Repeat." says it all. Party supplies do not need to be disposable…
From fabric bunting to eco-friendly outdoor tableware, Acme Party Box can help you keep your grown-up outdoor parties green. And who needs 40+ candles on a cake (hello, fire hazard — not to mention just plain cruel!) when you can have adorable baby bunting as a cake topper!
Acme Party Box has kids parties covered, too. Party favors, like the miniature pirates, can dress up the party table and become instant toys for a group of kids. And the mason jar sippers will keep spills to a minimum while remaining re-usable. Goodbye juice boxes!

Defining Success: Were The RIAA's Lawsuits A Success Or Not?
from the you-can't-handle-the-truth dept
As the RIAA lawsuits showed us, most people will settle. Data from the recording industry lawsuits, revealed in a court case, showed that 11,000 of the 18,000 Does settled immediately or had their cases dropped by the labels. Seven thousand either refused to settle or never responded to the settlement letter, but after the RIAA subpoenaed their identities and filed "named" lawsuits against them, nearly every one settled.This, it appears, is the evidence that the RIAA's lawsuit campaign was a whopping success. Of course, some of us might define success in different ways. The RIAA set off this legal strategy, back in 2003, by claiming that this was part of its "education" campaign to get people to stop using file sharing networks, and go back to buying music directly. How has that worked? Oh, it hasn't. The number of people using file sharing networks to access unauthorized works has continued to grow at a rather rapid clip. And, of course, the real point of all of this was the bottom line: it was to try to help save the big five (at the time) record labels. Except that hasn't worked either. The big five became the big four and the big four are pretty damn close to becoming the big three, once everyone sorts out what to do with EMI. And all of them have a lot less money than they did before.
After years of litigation, the number of people who have pursued a trial all the way to a verdict can be counted on one hand.
As for how successful the lawsuits have been for those big record labels? So successful that EMI threatened to leave both the RIAA and IFPI if it didn't back away from these lawsuits. So successful that Sony execs referred to the lawsuits as a "money pit" that have cost the industry millions without bringing back anything near that much in settlement fees.
The fact that lots of people paid up to settle extortion-like fees didn't stop people from using file sharing networks to access unauthorized materials. It didn't get more people to buy. It didn't help the bottom line. It hasn't helped the record labels sell more product. It certainly hasn't helped the big labels stay in business. Hell, it hasn't even helped the RIAA. Towards the end of the legal campaign, the RIAA ended up having massive layoffs of its own staff. And, let's not even get into discussing what the average music fan thinks of the RIAA and the big labels these days...
Success? If that's what you consider a success story, then you're doing it wrong. How you measure a success is everything, and if your metrics are that you got a large percentage of people to pay up for extortion-like lawsuits, pretty much guaranteeing they'd never buy from you again, while the rest of your business burned to the ground, I'm sorry if I have to question your definition of "success."

The recent experience of the New Hanover County Commissioners (Brian Berger) underscores several points that we, as members of the electorate, should be mindful of as we head toward Nov. 5:
Local elections do matter, and the consequences of ill-informed choices, or a failure to participate, can be far-reaching and expensive. And knowledge about the candidates must extend well beyond sound bytes and roadside placards.
Here's hoping that the StarNews will print complete profiles of the candidates, so that we can judge – from employment records, community service activity and leadership accomplishments – the fitness of the candidates and cast our votes accordingly.
The blame for the county commissioners' dilemma rests squarely with us. We can probably do better.
Bill Cooper, Wilmington
Editor's note: Candidate profiles for the larger municipal races are scheduled to run beginning Oct. 16. Reporters also are covering election forums and campaign issues as part of their ongoing beat assignments.
We are now only days away from further implementation of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, aka "Obamacare."
I, along with tens of millions of Americans, will soon be able to purchase affordable private health insurance through the marketplace exchanges.
While the typical naysayers use fear and lies to undermine the law, Americans will soon realize the full benefits of the law, as we join the rest of the civilized world by making sure we are on the path to health security for all, regardless of income.
No longer will the working poor and our fellow citizens with pre-existing conditions be denied insurance. In addition, insurance companies will no longer be able to drop your coverage if you are sick, and women will no longer be charged more than men. The law has already slowed the seemingly never-ending increases in health care costs, and provided funding for the training of more primary care doctors that will be needed to meet the demands of the 21st century.
As the myths and misconceptions about "Obamacare" fade away, and the actual reality of the law becomes clearer each day, it will become more and more apparent that health care for all will make us a healthier – and thus, more prosperous – nation.
Matthew Bigham, Wilmington
A short chemistry lesson is in order for the author of the letter published last Monday in opposition to the proposed Titan plant. The writer stated that cement plants are responsible for 5 percent of the carbon dioxide emissions worldwide.
The essential ingredient in concrete is cement, and the essential ingredient in cement is lime. Lime, or calcium oxide, is produced by calcining limestone, a process that subjects the calcium carbonate in the limestone to high temperature to drive off carbon dioxide.
It is impossible to produce lime without liberating carbon dioxide. If you want to eliminate emissions of carbon dioxide from cement production, you just have to eliminate all activities that use cement, including building highways, laying bricks and constructing anything from concrete.

[Adien's School of Awesome]
(Continued from "Hello Uncle")
"Yes, I am. Tell me; are you afraid of the dark?"
"Nope, mommy says that there's nothing there that isn't there when the lights are on."
"I understand that you have grown, exponentially."
"Mommy says that I've been shooting up every year."
"I figure that years would be inconsequential to you by now."
"There are those that would attempt to stop you from your end goals."
"Haha they cant stop me!"
"Because they can't."
"That's what I thought. Where is your mom?"
"She said that she went to the heart of it all, to the web."
"That's what I thought and where is your father?"
"He yelled at me and said that I couldn't have what I wanted."
"So he's in the cornfield?"
"Yes. I didn't want to hear him yell at me anymore."
"I see. If you need any assistance, keep me informed."
"Why do you think you can help me or that I need your help? I'm a big girl."
"No reason."
"Wanna see what I can do?"
"Interestingly enough, yes."
Alice demonstrates as reality gets shredded and only Aiden and Alice remain (Da'na appears in Aiden's head) and all of the shadow is reduced to a card. Nothing but shadowstorms remains in its place. Then a green grassy field forms out of her mind. After a noticeable pause, Aiden speaks up.
"Can you affect the shadowstrom?"
"I don't know."
"Can you shape it?"
"I don't know."
Alice considers it for a minute and then she shapes and then destroys shadow.
"They screamed a lot."
"Can you reverse it?"
"So we do it again and again until you're bored?"
She tries, and does, but it comes back as a trump in her own image.
"You've done it but now you've made it in your own image. Have you considered changing your shape?"
"why would I? I'm perfect as I am."
"To explore your limits."
"I like me as me."
"I see. I would like to show you things like my mind."
"You have a mind? *gasp*"
"Yes, all things that have consciousness do."
"Mommy told me that when I draw a picture of someone, I can get into their minds."
"I don't fit well into pictures."
"I can draw you."
Alice proceeds to draw a stick figure likeness of Aiden and it is a trump. Aiden disassociates and the trump dies.
"How did you do that?"
"I'm not relevant."
"Then I'm going to have some fun."
"Again, if you need help."
"Bye!" and she wanders off.
Aiden's crew is returns.
"What was that boss?"
"A test and you passed."
"Dude, Carl was sleeping…and he's…gone is he coming back?"
"I don't know."
[Enter the Void]
Hexian finds himself standing in the courtroom of Firegate. It is empty, but plainly, there is a walkway to the Logrus. Enonia is standing there.
"Hello Hexian."
"How did I get here?"
"Why have you come?"
"Not sure, where chance leads me."
"What is this chance that you speak of?"
"You're being more cryptic than usual."
"Not really."
"I haven't seen you in a while, I suppose."
"Either way, you're at an impasse, you cannot go back and it will take much to go forward. I'll make it simple, the only way out is to leave is to cross the Logrus, but you cannot take your armor. What will you do?"
"It's really the only way out?"
"You can try other ways, but I don't recommend it. You're at the last moment of eternity. Leaving it would be bad. Time is not of the essence; take your time to decide."
"Nice, I'll talk to you later."
Hexian turns and walks to the end of the court. Beyond is nothing but the Abyss. His deamon is gone. He walks into the abyss and ceases to exist.
[Death and Rebirth]
Reese closed the door leaving his wife with Tomo's lance behind. He hated to leave her in so much distress. Nyoko took the news about as well as he had expected. There wasn't a lot of time to waste. Reese still had the rest of his family to safeguard. Nyoko understood this and set him too it, otherwise he'd still be there with her. He composed himself in the hallway and shadow-stepped to Octavius' location back down in the infirmary with an unconscious Oberon and Crystal doting over his vitals.
"I'm going to need some time to activate the Patterns, starting with Earth's and then Amber's. Once I get Earth's Pattern up, I'm going to entrench it in shadowstorms to deflect Alice. I'm going to do the same thing for the Golden Circle. It's my hope that Chaos takes the hint and follows my lead. You two will have to walk a Pattern to get your powers back. Depending on what Enonia is doing it may come down to just us. Octavius, I'm going to give you half of Marek's trumps. Crystal already has one."
"Wait, how did you know?"
"I've been using a Pattern Lens non-stop for over 100 years."
"Mind if we take Oberon back to Amber when you go there, Uncle?"
"Care if I use your Pattern before I head to Overshadow?"
"No, the security system will grant you access once I've finished reactivating it."
"No, it's probably for the best. I'll be back in less than 30 minutes."
"Good luck, Uncle."
"Take care, Brother."
Reese shadow-steps directly to the main elevator and proceeds down to level EEE. Once inside the Pattern Chamber, he finds that there is no Pattern visible, only traces of it are visable through the Lens. We walks where it should be, leaving a half-luminous pattern in his wake until he reaches the center of it. Once in the middle, he integrates the Pattern to a Primal State, and finds himself in front of a Pattern scrawled in blood, but with no power of life. Once again, he walks it re-writing it in the process. Reese makes some adjustments, most notably no more trump on Earth. Once at the center again, exhausted he looks out across shadow and begins to enact the Swiss defense on all the shadows bordering the shadows connected to Earth, making ramparts out of Shadowstorms. He then takes his free ride back to his infirmary.
Crystal is already gone, and Octavius has prepped Oberon for travel.
"How'd I do?"
"Twenty-seven minutes by my count."
"There's no Trump here now, and shadow storms on all sides, you'll have to come with me."
"All that in twenty-seven minutes?"
"No, all that only took twelve."
The travel to Amber, down to Torg's lounge. Torg glances over from the couch, pauses his game and stands up.
"Well, this is different. You guys look like used dog food."
Octavius is the first to speak. "The old man got wounded when the Unicorn died. Rhys is here to fix the Pattern, and then I'm going to walk it. How are things here?"
"Things have been quiet, except the loonies have been singing Jefferson Airplane all afternoon."
"What is that?" asks Octavius.
"Rock music nephew. Was it "White Rabbit"?"
"Aye, Rhys. Over and over again. You okay, you look pale."
"Beer me, I've got a lot to do, and little time to do it in."
Torg hops to the fridge, pulls a bottle off the door, and tosses it to Rhys like a sixth-year senior in a frat. Rhys catches the bottle and pops the lid off using a Pattern Lens like a church key. After downing the beer, Rhys stands with renewed vigor and nods to Octavius.
"I'm going to walk it and disappear, but it won't be ready until it looks right. Give me time before you walk it. Once I'm done, I need to be in Earth."
"Okay, I think I understand. Are you ever going to explain all of this someday?"
"Maybe, maybe not. I'm afraid that you'll disappear like Tomo if I do."
Rhys walks over to the Pattern room, the disembodied chanting of Jefferson Airplane echoing distantly in the halls. He boots the doors open with one kick, and the fling open comically, not unlike saloon doors. There is nothing on the far side but a familiar empty room. Rhys repeats the same pattern walking and shadowstorming routine in Amber until it is complete.
[Humpty Dumpty]
Enonia sees the conflict on the Logrus caused by her sister…sisters…? She also notices that Shadow close to Chaos is vastly being re-written by Alice at an alarming rate. Enonia tweets news of it across Chaos and the Chaos Lords gather their numbers. The Logrus masters respond by tossing in shadows in the way, delaying the inevitable.
Back on the Logrus, Tabatha joins the assault on Bethany and Catherine freaks out. Margaritte realizes that one and only one can survive this ordeal. Bethany manages to stab Catherine and knock her off the Logrus. Killing Catherine makes Bethany stronger. Circe accidentally on purpose kills Tabatha to death. Enonia approaches Margaritte.
"So which one of you deserves to win?" asks Enonia.
"Sorry, I'm kinda busy. I'm waiting for my time."
"You'll listen to me if I want! I need you to sort this out quicker."
"Just another minute, there's a plan I think."
Bethany takes the bait and runs Circe through, allowing Margaritte to kill Bethany and win.
Bethany blamed Circe for everything: loosing the admiralty, failing on the pattern, and letting her mother do what she did to her. Killing her was all she ever wanted. With only Margaritte left standing, she is whole and complete again.
"This would have been so much simpler if you would have done this along time ago, like I asked. We're going to fix you and send you on your way but I'm going to show you some things, you're part of something bigger now." Said Enonia to the recombined Bethany.
Enonia shows her what she saw from walking the Logus herself: a child being chased by something that couldn't be seen, running through a house and constantly getting killed in pursuit iteration after iteration. Conflict breads strength, this is the way of the Spider.
She's done, and in Firecourt standing with Enonia.
She looks to Enonia, "don't we have a universe to save?"
"I'll call Rhys" she scorpions him but gets Hector instead.
"Hi mom, I don't know where Uncle Reese is, Let me ask aunt Nyoko." (Pause.) "Mom, he's in Amber. What's going on? Aunt Nyoko is crying, I didn't want to ask her.
"Oh yeah, it probably has to do with the death of the Unicorn and the ascension. I'll be up."
"What's Rhys doing in amber?" asks Bethany.
"Probably fixing the Pattern. Lets get back to Earth."
They take the tentacle taxi back to earth
(Continued from "Amon Hits on a Princess")
"I do have a lot of questions. How are you still alive?"
"I am not."
"Is this where we go when we die?"
"All things in shadow have a beginning and an end do destiny."
"But I ate you, literally!"
"And between you and Legion, I died."
"I'm sorry."
"Don't be. I was a shell of my self, and now I'm here. You put me out of my misery."
"So…you were right, the Unicorn was my grandparent."
"The Unicorn was slain."
"By what?"
"The doom that has beset shadow."
"Like none before."
"So what do you do here?"
"I built this city while I waited for you to answer my call."
"Why did you call me here?"
"At best, things here can only exist for a short time before they fall apart. I want you to stay. You can't leave. If you do, you can never come back. If Dworkin didn't have a way of stopping this weapon, then there wouldn't be a way."
"So you can pull things here?"
"Yes, if you have a connection, like I did with you."
"Do you think I could bring people here that I want to protect?"
"By the time they would get here, they wouldn't be able to be protected. There is someone here who does want to speak to you."
Tangata gestures to an antechamber and standing there is Faeilla. Amon stands motionless for a minute, and then approaches his mother. He gives her a comfy psychic head-butt and shows her Caius' and Rhys' families. She shows him how she and Oberon came together. She was a commoner and found him wounded and nursed him to health and they fell in love. He didn't influence her at all to follow him but she did. In her memories, he is happy. She also shows Amon her death just Amon, Oberon and herself. She tells him that we both knew that it wouldn't last for ever, be good to them. "Remember me" were her last words before she dies.
Amon cries.
"What should I do, mom?"
"If you go, you might be able to affect the events up there. If you stay, this will last and you can have a life here. Everything in shadow will be here soon enough."
"That's depressing. I don't know what I'm going to do…wanna get something to eat?"
He meets the Kashvan general Leo, and a bunch of Ardedites who died in the war of the black road.
[The Old Wizard]
Crystal walks Earth's Pattern and at the center and activates the trump of doom. It kaleidoscopically expands her to a place that is a like a cosmic loading screen. Then there is some with her, its Dworkin.
"Its been a while."
"You have no idea, child"
"So you know. What brings you here?"
"I came here to discuss something that should not ever have been made."
"Ah, the child. That was by design…I think. What of it?"
"She's a bad child."
"Very bad" the old man smiled with pride at that admission, "and you used one of my trumps. "I was wondering
when someone was going to use one of those. Why?"
"We need to know how to use these trumps and what they do."
"What do you think that they do? They bring you here and you couldn't have gotten here if you didn't already know how they worked!" Speaking of which, one day Rhys and Enonia will be along. They are greater than Shadow and will want more of a taste of the infinite, in time. Real shame about Octavius, though…"
"I'd rather not know."
"You came here for a reason; it's all but light and shadow."
"From whence springs the light?"
"Us; the act of observation, the beauty is in between, too much light and you go blind, to much shadow and you
don't see anything."
"But the child, she's going to change everything. How can we do something about it?"
"Marek asked the same thing. I didn't like torturing him so much. If I could do it all over again, I'd only change one thing: I'd sleep with your mother so much harder."
"Don't worry, I've got my second chance at Marek until Clarissa bails him out."
"Wait…No. I don't want to know. The Child?"
"Right, but you'll want her to appear up here. Then she'll be a small fish in a big sea up here."
"I see. We need to get her to take one of these" as Crystal holds up her Trump of Doom."
"Well, child, that is if you can trust me…"
"Does it matter if I do?"
"I might have designs for her, if you assume that I set all of this in motion in the first place… Maybe I want a better weapon than Legion. Can you afford to take that risk?"
"Nothing good will happen if we don't do anything."
"Then what are you still doing here?"
The next thing Crystal knows, she finds herself standing in the same place where she was where when she left in the center of Earth's Pattern, no time having passed.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Picking up where he left off last week, senior Torre Swanson (Redding, Calif.) has been selected as the New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference Baseball Pitcher of the Week. It is the second straight week the right-hander has earned the award.
After hurling a complete-game, three-hit shutout in his last outing, Swanson was even stronger this week in his start against NEWMAC opponent Clark University. Starting the first game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Cougars, he again threw a complete-game shutout, this time allowing just one hit while striking out six without issuing a walk in a 4-0 MIT victory. He has not given up a run in the month of April and extended his scoreless streak to 19 innings.

The Harford County Sheriff's Office will launch a summer crime-fighting initiative and community leaders are planning a "healing night and vigil" for Edgewood after a spate of violence around the Grempler Way area that culminated in the murder of a man on Saturday night.
As of Tuesday afternoon, no arrests have been made in connection with the fatal shooting of 24-year-old Quinton Stokes in the 1800 block of Grempler Way shortly after 10 p.m. Saturday.
Mr. Stokes' murder followed two weeks in which several incidents of gun violence were reported in the Edgewater Village community, a longtime crime hotspot in Harford County.
Sheriff Jesse Bane said Tuesday afternoon he has not seen police reports from the latest crimes and can't say what is causing the escalation of violence in the community.
He added, however, that he wants to get out in front of the problem before the community gets fearful to a point where it won't be willing to work with police.
Because of the "anti-snitching mind set" and people being afraid to come forward, Bane explained, "I wouldn't ask the community to work with us if we couldn't provide a degree of safety for them."
He said he would work on ways to make people feel safe to anonymously talk to the police and to know that law enforcement will keep them safe.
Escalating violence
"We have had a number of incidents there within a very short period of time, and we were doing quite a bit to make sure nothing more would happen," the sheriff added. "Now that we have got a homicide, we just have to kick it up a notch."
Around 10:16 p.m. Saturday, Harford County Sheriff's deputies responded to multiple calls of shots fired with at least one person injured. When they arrived, deputies found Mr. Stokes, whose last known address was in the 1300 block of Gold Meadow Way, suffering from multiple gunshot wounds, according an earlier news release from the Sheriff's Office.
Emergency medical personnel from the Joppa-Magnolia Volunteer Fire Company treated Mr. Stokes at the scene before he was flown by Maryland State Police Medevac to Maryland Shock Trauma Center in Baltimore. He died from his injuries shortly before midnight, according to the release.
Witnesses reported seeing a black man wearing tan shorts running from the area.
On June 10, a 15-year-old boy was grazed in the stomach by a bullet; another 15-year-old boy is charged in the case with attempted murder and first-degree assault.
Deputies responded to the same area June 14 for reports of shots fired near Brookside Drive and Grempler Way.
Earlier Tuesday, Bane announced in a news release that he is creating a "strategic, summer initiative" to try to address the violence, starting with a community meeting planned for July 3 at 7 p.m. at the Edgewood Recreation Center.
Bane said in the release the summer initiative will "bring every resource the [Harford County Sheriff's Office] has to offer to the Edgewood communities."
"The streets of Edgewood do not belong to the criminal element. Every member of the Harford County Sheriff's Office is highly resolved to ensure that does not happen and the good people of Edgewood can continue to live in their communities without fear," Bane said in the statement, adding his deputies have been working "tirelessly, around the clock, to respond to the violence that has recently erupted."
"As you know, our detectives have been actively investigating the series of shootings for the past several weeks," Sheriff's Office spokeswoman Cristie Kahler wrote in an e-mail Monday.
"At the same time we have been increasing patrol and visibility in the neighborhood and using all traditional means to bring closure to these cases," Kahler added.
Vigil planned
The group M.O.M.S. (Mothers of Murdered Sons & Daughters of Maryland), together with the Edgewood Community Council, will hold an End of Violence Community Healing Night/Vigil at 6:30 p.m. on Friday.
The event, which was already planned before Saturday's fatal shooting, will take place at the Edgewater Village basketball court on Brookside Drive, behind Save-a-lot supermarket on Route 40.
"With the recent spike in violence in the Edgewood area, we were approached to try and do something in the community," organizer Mildred Samy wrote in an e-mail to The Aegis.
Samy, whose son was killed in Edgewood violence six years ago, said Tuesday she went out again to talk with young people, sensing that some tension had returned to the Edgewater Village neighborhood.
"I felt like I was reliving that time again and I felt it was time to go back to the community and talk to them and try to stop some of this violence," Samy said. "We can do something, but we need to work together to get this under control."
Samy suspects the new violence is from gangs fighting over territory, and she said the new teenagers out there are not "the crew that I helped raise."
"This new breed that's out there kind of scares me, because they just don't care. They don't have any sense of human life," Samy said.
She went out to the neighborhood basketball court while putting up signs for her vigil.
"There were a lot of people on the basketball court and playing basketball, and I ventured down there and said, 'Can I talk to you guys for a minute?'" she said. "I told them, 'This stuff has to stop. A bullet has no name on it, so anybody can get hurt and we need to learn how to live together, and, really, what you are doing is you are going to make us extinct.'"
"They responded very well and they said, 'Yeah, you are right' and 'We hear you,'" she said, explaining: "I talk to them like I was one of them. I don't preach. They were listening to me and said they were going to try to come to this meeting."
Samy, who became known as the "lady with the horn" for driving around the area with a bullhorn, said the community needs to get the latest spate of violence "straightened out."
Samy said her daughter still lives near Grempler Way and she has watched her grandchildren be afraid to go outside and be "held hostage" in the house.
"This is a community. This is not a city. There's kids running around, it's summertime. The kids should be able to enjoy their summer. They don't need to be running around dodging bullets," she said.
Kahler said the Sheriff's Office is not involved with organizing the vigil Friday.
"While we will be in the area patrolling, we do not have a specific role in the vigil," she said.

WASHINGTON (AP) — After his Boston Celtics held the Washington Wizards to 1-for-14 shooting at the start, then scoreless for nearly 3 minutes at the end, coach Doc Rivers spoke about ''great defensive intensity.''
''Defense,'' he said, as if to underline the point, ''is exhausting.''
Wizards guard Jordan Crawford offered another explanation for the way things went in Boston's 89-86 victory over Washington on Saturday night.
''We're forgetting plays,'' Crawford said.
A night after what Rivers called a ''flat game,'' the Celtics used defensive stands early — Washington's only scoring in the first 8 minutes came on Kevin Garnett's goaltending call — and late, plus Paul Pierce's 27 points, including a key 3 down the stretch, to edge the Wizards and improve to 1-2.
Washington dropped to 0-2 after its home opener in front of a sellout crowd of 20,308 that occasionally included folks chanting ''Let's go, Celtics!'' Washington is still without two starters: point guard John Wall, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2010 draft, and center Nene.
''Our starts are so bad, you don't know if you're ever going to see daylight again. I didn't know if the ... sun was coming up tomorrow. I truly didn't,'' Wizards coach Randy Wittman said with a chuckle after watching his club fall behind Boston 17-2 at the outset. ''That's how bad it was to me, sitting there.''
Bradley Beal, the No. 3 overall pick this year, missed all five of his shots and scored two points for the Wizards, while Crawford led the hosts with 21 points despite hurting his left ankle in the second half.
''I wasn't involved, really,'' Beal said. ''I wasn't asserting myself. I wasn't aggressive.''
Another Wizards reserve, Kevin Seraphin, played after being sidelined by a right calf injury for their season opener and made his first seven shots, finishing with 19 points. But Seraphin also threw the ball away with Washington down one point and 28 seconds left.
Cartier Martin scored five consecutive points during a 16-4 run that put Washington ahead 86-84 on Seraphin's turnaround 12-footer with a little under 3 minutes remaining.
''You don't want to give teams any life,'' Pierce said. ''Today we gave them life and they had a shot at us.''
But with thousands in the stands asking for ''De-fense! De-fense!'' Pierce made a 3-pointer to put Boston back in front with 2 1/2 minutes left.
From there, neither team managed to score until Jason Terry's two free throws with 1.2 seconds left padded Boston's lead.
''Our defense put us in the situation to get where we were at,'' Celtics guard Rajon Rondo said. ''We didn't shoot the ball well tonight. We had a lot of easy shots we missed. We can't control that, but what we can control is our effort on the defensive end and we did that tonight.''
Rondo had 12 points — including two on an acrobatic, one-handed push that he likened to a shot put — and 12 assists, while Garnett scored 15.
Wall has a knee injury and is expected to miss another month or so, while Nene is out with a foot problem and no one is quite sure when he'll be back. Both are really missed on offense, which was apparent not only with the way Washington opened the game, but also by checking the assists column on the stat sheet: The starting five combined for a grand total of one assist in the first half.
Yes, the Wizards got points less than 1 1/2 minutes in, but that was because Garnett was called for goaltending on a short shot by Emeka Okafor. Otherwise, Washington missed 13 of its first 14 field-goal attempts. That run of futility included shanked 3-pointers and midrange jumpers, layups and putbacks. Even a dunk.
Rondo's 19-foot jumper put Boston ahead 17-2 with a little less than 4 1/2 minutes left in the first quarter. By then, three Celtics - Garnett, Pierce and rookie Jared Sullinger - each had at least twice as many points as the entire Wizards roster.
A day after losing by 11 at home to Milwaukee, the Celtics led by as much as 24-8 before Washington made a game of it.
''When you lose two games in a row and you play as poorly as we played last night, you're either going to come out with great intensity or we're still going to be thinking about last night and get down 20,'' Rivers said. ''That cushion won the game for us.''
Sullinger, the Ohio State forward taken in the first round of the draft, made his first NBA start, replacing Brandon Bass in Boston's lineup. Sullinger ended up with four points and four fouls. The teams play each other again Wednesday at Boston.
Pierce's late 3 lifts Celtics over Wizards
WASHINGTON (AP) — After his Boston Celtics held the Washington Wizards to 1-for-14 shooting at the start, then scoreless for nearly 3 minutes at the end, coach Doc Rivers spoke about ''great defensive intensity.''

Q: It seems living in the Pacific Northwest is a health hazard due to lack of vitamin D. Not only have I been diagnosed with low vitamin D, practically everyone else I know also has this problem. Many of my irritating but nonsubstantial symptoms went away after getting my vitamin D level up to normal. I wish doctors had found it years ago. I think doctors should check it every time you visit.
A: The sunshine vitamin might well be in short supply in a climate dominated by clouds and rain. Even people who live in sunny places like Arizona or Florida can have low vitamin D levels, so getting tested is a very good idea.
Q: I am a midlevel prescriber (a clinical nurse specialist) who has submitted 37 adverse-event reports to the Food and Drug Administration's MedWatch program regarding generic lamotrigine. Most of the adverse events involved a loss of response, but many involved a loss of response and additional side effects that did not occur with brand-name Lamictal. The FDA has acknowledged receiving my reports, but it has not investigated them. When a generic for Lamictal first came on the market, I was enthusiastic. But after so many patients had serious relapses of their mood disorders or other bad experiences with several generic lamotrigine formulations, I am no longer enthusiastic. I believe the generic equivalents of Lamictal differ markedly in bioequivalence, enough so they may actually cause harm to patients. I worry that the problems with generics are more pervasive than we are willing to admit.
A: We, too, have received complaints about the generic form of Lamictal (lamotrigine). This anti-seizure drug also is prescribed for bipolar disorder. Here is just one example: "Has anyone else had problems with generic Lamictal? I have taken this for years for bipolar disorder, with great results. In the past few months, I have had a couple of terrible depressive episodes and thoughts of suicide. I wondered if the meds had just stopped working. Then I realized I was switched to the generic a couple of months ago." Others have reported problems with another generic epilepsy medicine, levetiracetam (brand name is Keppra).
Q: I had colon surgery last year, and as a result, I suffered from embarrassing, smelly flatulence. Fortunately, I found a product called Devrom (devrom.com). It has changed my life!
A: Stinky gas can be extremely embarrassing. Devrom contains bismuth subgallate. A similar compound, bismuth subsalicylate (Pepto-Bismol), is effective against odorous flatulence (Current Treatment Options in Gastroenterology, August 2001). It is possible to overdose on bismuth, so don't get carried away. Too much bismuth could harm the nervous system or kidneys. Pepto-Bismol also can interact with several medications.

Firefighters found a cap and a cellphone next to the body but nothing to indicate why he climbed the tower early Friday, said department spokesman Kyle Moore.
There was no one at the scene who said they knew the man, Moore said. The King County medical examiner's office took the body to determine his identification and cause of death. Seattle police also are investigating.
The fire department initially received a report about 12:30 a.m. Friday of what appeared to be a transformer fire on the tower that carries 120,000-volt lines across the Lake Washington Ship Canal in the Fremont neighborhood.
It was followed by a report of witnesses seeing a flash of crackling sparks and a man falling.
Seattle City Light said it was too dangerous for firefighters to rush up the tower, Moore said. They were able to call in a Snohomish County helicopter for assistance. It spotted the body on the platform with no signs of life.
City Light turned off the power through the lines so a fire department technical rescue team could climb up and recover the body from the platform about 150 feet off the ground. The body was lowered to the ground before 7 a.m. in a basket.
The utility was able to switch electricity so only one customer was out of service during the recovery, said spokesman Peter Clarke.
It was the first such mishap Clarke could recall in his 13 years with the city utility. It would be possible for a "very determined" person to climb the lattice of metal in one of the tower legs, he said.
"We're going to be reviewing that to see if we can make it less easy," Clarke said.

G428, Revised December 1999
Landowners and tenants can choose from several different types of rental arrangements. They can choose cash, crop-share, livestock-share, or flexible-cash arrangements. The landowner also has the option of hiring custom operators for the field work or operating directly with hired labor. This guide focuses on development of an equitable crop-share lease.
How do two parties develop a crop-share rental agreement? The easiest way is to follow rental agreements currently being used in the community. Most crop-share leases in a community or a geographic area are based on similar rental agreements. Some customary leases are 1/2-1/2, 2/3-1/3, and 3/4-1/4. A 2/3-1/3 crop-share arrangement apportions two-thirds of the crop to the tenant and one-third to the landowner.
For a crop-share lease to be equitable to both the landowner and the tenant, input costs should be shared in proportion to the value of product received by each party. If the landowner is to receive one-third of the crop in a 2/3-1/3 agreement, then the landowner should contribute one-third of the production costs to raise that crop.
There are two methods of determining the type of customary crop-share rental arrangement. If a 1/2-1/2 split of production is desired, then input costs should be shared equally. Alternatively, the tenant and the landowner can compute the proportion of production each should receive based on the amount each contributes to production input cost expectations.
Table 1 is an example of an equitable 1/2-1/2 crop-share lease agreement for soybeans. Line 1 indicates the agricultural value of the farmland, which is used in the calculation of taxes (line 16) and an inflation adjusted interest expense (line 17). An agricultural value of land is used instead of a market value because the agricultural value represents the productive capacity of the land, while the market value adds a speculative component that is observed only with a land sale. MU Extension supports an annual land values survey that can be used to help in determining the agricultural value of land. Your local extension center can provide this information. Lines 2 and 3 are estimates of yield per acre and price per unit of soybeans. Line 4 is expected revenue per acre from producing soybeans (line 2 3 line 3). This value is $245 per acre and is of use in determining whether the activity will generate economic profits.
Lines 5 through 19 are examples of costs that might be incurred in soybean production. Column A lists the total costs of production for each specific cropping activity associated with producing one acre of soybeans. Column B represents the percentage paid by the landowner. For instance, line 5 is labor, which for this example is paid totally by the tenant (indicated by 0 percent in column B). However, line 6 indicates that the cost of seed is shared equally between the landowner and the tenant (each party is responsible for 50 percent of the cost). Multiplying columns A and B equals the final column, "Landowner's costs." Adding lines 5 through 18 gives total production costs (C) and total landowner costs (D). The landowner's share of production expenses is computed by dividing (D) by (C). In this example the result is 52 percent ($120.50 4 $232.00). Splitting of production expenses in this example would result in the sharing of production about 1/2-1/2.
Suppose, in this example, the tenant and the landowner agree to a 2/3 -1/3 split of the soybean production. To reach this arrangement, the landowner could contribute only land expenses (lines 16 and 17). In this example, the landowner would contribute $74 ($8.00 plus $66.00) or about 30 percent of total costs. This contribution is close to one-third (33.3 percent) of total costs. However, the tenant and landowner may want to consider a 70-30 split of output for an economically equitable crop-share arrangement.
Generally, landowners supply land, and tenants supply capital and management. Therefore, column B will usually show 100 percent for land taxes and insurance and for interest on land and 0 percent for machinery depreciation and insurance, repairs, fuel for machinery, and management. However, if both the tenant and landowner own a part of the land, or if the landowner owns machinery that the tenant uses, these percentages may need to be adjusted to reflect their contributions.
What about lime, land improvement, and government payments? Though liming is a long-term (greater than one-year) benefit to land, tenants responding to an MU crop-share lease survey indicated that tenants and landowners often split liming costs in proportion to their division of the crop. Eighty percent of respondents to this survey indicated that the landowner paid for land improvements. Generally, the landowner is considered to benefit more than the tenant from long-term improvements to the land. More than 95 percent of respondents to this survey indicated that government payments are split in the same proportion as output is shared. This is because the law states that government farm program payments must be split in proportion to the crop-share agreement.
Table 2 is designed so that the tenant and the landowner can work through a crop-share lease arrangement they may be considering. An "other income" category has been added (line 4). This might be used to account for income generated from baling fodder or grazing cattle on stalks after harvest. Lines 32 through 35 have been left blank for additional production expenses not listed elsewhere.
Table 1
Example worksheet for developing a fair lease for a specific crop
Table 2
Equitable crop-share rental arrangement worksheet
Keep in mind that what is considered customary may not be applicable in all cases. Where land values are high, landowners may have input expenses (e.g., taxes and interest) that are higher than customary values. The same could hold true for tenants. A tenant may be able to place a higher than customary value on equipment costs and managerial skills. Farm rental arrangements should be made on a case-by-case basis using customary rates as a guide. What is considered normal for some leases should be worked through for other leases to be sure it is considered equitable for all parties involved. To obtain help in determining an equitable crop-share lease arrangement for your operation, contact your local MU Extension center.

Dollar General Corp. trumped a rival's bid for Family Dollar Stores Inc., offering $8.9 billion in cash for the discount retailer as industry leaders scramble to gain an edge in attracting customers who are still struggling financially.
The offer Monday of $78.50 a share from the Goodlettsville, Tenn., company could spark a bidding war as Wall Street pushed Family Dollar's shares to $79.81. The new bid beat a deal reached last month with Dollar Tree Inc. of Chesapeake, Va.
Many analysts expect Dollar Tree to sweeten its $8.5-billion deal for Family Dollar, possibly matching its competitor's price.
"Let the games begin," said Joan Storms, retail analyst at...

LOWELL -- With two officials who normally oversee elections leaving the office just before last Tuesday and a large turnout expected because of the high-profile presidential and U.S. Senate races, there was concern in some quarters about how Election Day would go in Lowell.
However, City Solicitor Christine O'Connor says voting in the city largely went off without a hitch, even with the city experiencing its highest voter turnout in the past 20 years. The city saw 62 percent, or close to 34,000 of its 54,753 registered voters, cast ballots.
Meanwhile, two city councilors did not paint as rosy a picture of the city's handling of the election and say they have some concerns they would like addressed.
In a memo to City Manager Bernie Lynch that was provided to the City Council late Friday, O'Connor credited some safeguards that were added to the city's standard election procedures for helping prevent any major problems that beset other communities from cropping up, such as long lines because of inactive voters or long traffic back-ups.
To make sure Election Day went smoothly, the city increased staffing at polling locations. O'Connor said the city typically has 166 poll workers for elections, but this year the city boosted that number to 200-215 poll workers.
The city also increased staffing in the Elections Office by 10-15 people and had a telephone bank room with 10 additional phone lines and computers.
A representative of the ballot-machine company was also on hand Tuesday. This helped the city dispatch repair services quickly to avoid long delays because of the many machines that jammed throughout the day, said O'Connor.
The city's actions, with guidance from the Secretary of State's Office, to address the more than 20,000 voters that were listed as inactive prior to the September primary also helped alleviate any delays that problem could have caused, said O'Connor.
The city had requested that an attorney from the Secretary of State's Office be present Tuesday, but the state decided to send its staff to other communities.
Lowell did hire Marsha Weinerman, the former executive director of elections in Cambridge, to serve as an Election Day observer. Weinerman will be providing a report on her observations, said O'Connor.
Before bringing Weinerman on board, the city hired Joseph Kaplan to help it prepare for the election. Kaplan used to serve as the assistant director of the Cambridge Election Commission.
Kaplan was brought on after Elections Office Manager Gail Cenik went out on medical leave and JoAnne O'Brien, her sister, quit her duties helping the city during election time.
O'Connor wrote that "while much went well, much more can be improved" and said she will continue to update Lynch and the council moving forward about the Elections Office.
City Councilor Rita Mercier disagreed with O'Connor's assessment. She said many polling locations could not get the supplies they needed, like working pens, and some locations did not have a smooth transition after the polls closed.
"There were so many glitches and there were a number of poll workers who said they want to quit because they were so frustrated," Mercier said. "I don't think we anticipated such a big turnout."
Mercier said she plans to detail more of her concerns at tonight's City Council meeting.
The election will be reviewed during discussion of motions by City Councilors Ed Kennedy and Vesna Nuon on how operations went last Tuesday.
Kennedy said one problem he was told about was people who requested absentee ballots not receiving them.
Kennedy said he also heard about people who were not on the registered-voters list who believe they should have been, people who were not offered provisional ballots and poll workers who were not given a lunch break.
In addition, the councilor said he does not want a repeat of voters casting their ballots in a gym while a basketball game is going on in the other part of the gym, which he said occurred at the Morey School. He wants the city to review its polling locations and its complement of poll workers to ensure they receive the proper training.
"I think Lowell did well in comparison to other communities despite extraordinary challenges," said Kennedy. "That does not mean there were not problems that should be looked at and taken care of."
Before receiving O'Connor's report, Nuon filed a motion calling for the city manager to provide a report to the council regarding voter turnout in the election along with a review of procedures and any proposed changes for future elections.
Nuon said he did not hear about any issues on Election Day, but wants to make sure if there were any, they are taken care of.
The councilor said he was encouraged that there were 7,000 new voters who participated, many of which he said were members of the Southeast Asian community who were voting for the first time or for the first time in several years.
Efforts to encourage Southeast Asians to vote included outreach through local TV and radio programs that focus on the city's Cambodian community, as well as door knocking and visits to facilities where Southeast Asians congregate.
"We did a lot of groundwork to encourage people to vote," Nuon said. "I was very excited by the numbers. I just want to make sure if there were any issues, we handle them."
Kennedy said he would like to see a report on how the city came up with the 7,000 new voters figure because the figure struck him as high.

01 March 2011|
As pure as some enthusiasts claim to be, they often fail to realize that every car company started somewhere. Hell, Lamborghini used to make tractors, while Hondas and Toyotas were literally the butt of every car joke around back in the 1960s. Hyundai has made some bold moves in the past few years and their latest flagship eclipses even the highly-acclaimed Genesis Sedan. While Hyundai raised the bar yet again with the Equus and knew how to gain some street credibility, they would have to put a few $1 cars in the hands of the right builders.
One such tuner is Pete Colello who did damage for many years with his outrageous Toyota Celica. After a stab at the Scion Tuner Challenge, which he won in 2009, Colello has since teamed up with Hyundai to make this massive sedan shine.
Under the lid is Hyundai's 4.6L V8 but with a few tweaks to push it well past 500whp. A Legacy Innovations custom turbo kit was fabricated using an SPA turbo. S-Max supplied all of the supporting mods including a wastegate, blow-off valve and a front mount intercooler. The exhaust was custom fabricated by Legacy Innovations which links up with a Magnaflow dual exhaust. The ensemble has also been ramped up with the addition of a Nitrous Express S.H.O. system for extra pull that the turbos can't muster.
The appearance of the car may blend in with modern sedans, so Colello undertook the mission of making it look like nothing else. The shell was fitted with a 717 Motoring 5-piece bodykit consisting of: front and rear bumpers, sideskirts and a wing. A custom carbon fiber hood was added in addition to a custom trunk and a carefully applied roof and pillar carbon fiber wrap. LightWurkz stepped in to tint the front and rear tails while BASF provided the custom burgundy paint to set it apart from the masses.
Being a big sedan meant that some dubs can be crammed in these oversized fenderwells. Colello opted for a set of Work Equip E10 wheels running 22x9.5-inch up front with a healthy 22x10.5-inch out back. With Falken onside for many of his projects, Colello spec'ed out some FK452s to make the contact with the road with 245/30R22 up front and a 265/30R22 for the drive wheels. To tuck the tires in nicely, a full AirLift air suspension with full in-car controls was installed. To bring the flying luxury sedan to a full and complete stop, Colello relied on Wilwood to make it happen. Up front is a set of 6-piston brakes clamping down on 14-inch slotted rotors with a 6-piston/13-inch combo in the back.
The interior got a bump by taking it to Idealist Designs for a complete reupholstering. The leather selected was a black and burgundy two-tone as well as black suede headliner and pillars. A total of four Glowshift gauges were added along with Southeast Carbonworks interior kit. Colello then placed some special orders with Japan's Junction Produce including door curtains and a Fusa Gintuna for that VIP look thanks to Freddie at Autofashion.
Finally, Colello began his audio and multimedia install for the looming SEMA Show with the help of Glenn Michael and Shawn Gorden from Ultimate Electronics. We mentioned last year that we'd be seeing many iPads in upcoming builds and this time around, Colello integrated two into his project. The iPads are joined by an Apple wireless keyboard and mouse to control the media files and to go online. The project also features a healthy 20-inch Pyle monitor with matching Pyle DVD player for video playback. The audio side of things was fulfilled thanks to Infinity Car Audio. A total of four Infinity Kappa Series amps were added to drive four Infinity Kappa subs in the trunk. The mids and highs are belted out using a pair of Infinity Kappa 5.25-inch components and three Infinity Kappa 6.5-inch components all linked with Mobile Spec wiring. The whole ensemble is tuned with JBLs new MS-8 Digital Signal Processor and lit up with an Optima Battery and Kinetik 80A power supply.
Colello would like to thank the following for making this project possible including all his supportive sponsors, Glenn Michael, Shawn Gorden, Bob Dructor, Dave Lightner, Shawn Baker, Jut Imes, Tyler Goodman, Vince Beaver, and Deb Colello.
We like Colello's approach and have to give him credit for being a pioneer with this Equus. Since the car wasn't even on the market at the time, Colello had to have everything fabricated. Since the Equus is aimed directly at the Lexus LS, Infiniti M and the legendary luxury lines from Mercedes and BMW, we'll have to wait and see how they compete. Rumor has it that the new 430hp V8 should help move things along.

Broadcast, Bon Iver, Boards of Canada.
What do these have in common, apart from beginning with B? They each featured on the soundtracks of 3 different films that I've watched in the past week. Any ideas?
- AfraidOfOwls this'd this
Read to the end El_Goodo! What soundtracks are they on?
Broadcast is easy, surely?
I'll play shimmery.
Broadcast on Berbarian Film Studio. (blue-ray on my shelf. Havent watched yet)
Bon Iver on maybe Rust and Bone. Brilliant film. Cottilard should have been nominated for an Oscar.
BoC - Not many films with them. Morvern Callar is the only one I know.
You win Wooly!
Boards of Canada are used in Sinister, Gyroscope's weird loops suiting the atmosphere of the film quite well. I was in bits when The Wolves was played at the end of Rust and Bone, a brilliant film. I actually had to find out if Marion actually had legs in real life, thought the cgi was impeccable. The sound on Berberian was the best thing about it, so it should be I suppose.
They've all intentionally echoed the past in their work
Broadcast = the sounds of the Radiophonic Workshop / library music and that.
Boards of Canada = old public information films / old porn (on occasion) / 70s, 80s stuff generally (with the occasional overlap with Broadcast, I guess, given their arguable influence on hauntology / Ghost Box, with whom Broadcast are somewhat related).
Bon Iver = the occasional 80s sax and related stuff on Bon Iver, Bon Iver
Thoughtful musings
But it was the films, the films...
I know
but I was HELLA proud
How many people don't read the whole post?!
The answers actually in the thread now.
Good comeback
Almost as hopeless as your original post ;)

a carpenter's shop, a place to work wood
Student or Learner
Can somebody explain what a wood shop is??
Thank you
a carpenter's shop, a place to work wood
Thank you very much
It is a pleasure - this was the only question i could not answer during my oral finals. I will never forget the word "shop" related to skilled trade.
Wood shop is also the name of a class in school where you learn carpentry and cabinetry skills. We also had metal shop and auto shop in my high school I think today these classes are all called industrial arts.

For gamers of all kinds, here are the 7 best places to buy video games cheap. Whether you're a collector, reseller, casual or hardcore gamer this list is for you.
holy crap! Half.com, is that site legit? They have Star Ocean Second Story for only 11 bucks?!!! No way! I'm buying that right now! Most sites are selling that game for $120 minimum.
edit: disc only though. =/
ShopTo.net for the UK is awesome.
Literally every pre-order i have made there for the past 2 or 3 years has arrived a day, sometimes 2 days, early before release.
Not to mention they are generally £4 or £5 cheaper on every title (That's alot since it's £40 for games in the UK for the Americans out there =P), plus their reward scheme is actually worth a damn.
Cheers for that mate- will remember that for the future!
actually PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale is cheaper on Amazon.co.uk and with free delivery...
@b_one Whilst Amazon may be a little cheaper and have free super saver delivery it takes 3-5 days to arrive so if the game comes out on a Friday the game doesn't arrive until Monday in most cases unless you pay the extra for the faster delivery which then negates the money saved by using Amazon. However shopto has free first class delivery as standard and on pre-orders the game comes a day early as they ship 2 days before to make sure it is on time. Also shopto send you an email with a photo of your parcel attached. They genuinely make you feel as though your one order really matters to them.
Furthermore they also have a rewards scheme which gives you money back to spend on other products on their website. Each full priced retail game (£38) on their site gets you about £1.50-£2.00 back.
The first time and only time I pre-ordered a game from ShopTo.net, it came 2 days late. 2 days after the official release. That was for SSX.
Also, they're selling Black Ops for £44.86. Not exactly £4 or £5 cheaper than any other title.
Yeah ShopTo is awesome, Halo 4 came a day early and they dispatch items in literally 5 minutes.
If you're based in the UK I highly recommend find-game.co.uk
It acts in same fashion as moneysupermarket or gocompare but for games. Saved myself a lot of cash through this site.
Used to rely upon Shopto.net but they bodged my pre-order of Mass Effect 3. Sent me 360 version instead of PS3, sent it back and requested the PS3 version and they refunded me instead. Waited over a week for that debacle to be cleared up which really p*ssed me off, not used em since.
half.com is legit, just read the descriptions carefully. i mainly use it for textbooks but have had good luck with games. no paypal though, if that is a high priority for you
How about this I give you one site and you will never miss another deal
Glyde.com has awesome deals, you have to live in America though.
I usually never buy games at full price anymore. Borderlands 2, Blops 2, Halo 4, all got discounted and more games at that.
Our Kmart is going out of business and has games 20% off right now.. I picked up Halo 4 lastnight for $45.
Half.com looks promising as hell, as i'm currently on the hunt for a very rare capcom game "The misadventures of Tron Bonne", so i type the name in, and wouldn't you know it, it's priced at $250! Darn! lol, well, the hunt goes on!
I got mine last year off of Amazon, complete, for 80 bucks (used). Motivated seller, I guess, because the next time I looked at the price for the game was 120+
ozgameshop.com for Australia peoples!
+1 for ozgameshop.com
Been dealing with them since they were originally an eBay store....
Always good communication and have never let me down.
I find Gamestation quite cheap and it has a good selection of old titles
Unrelated question.
Is anyone having problems getting on google? I can't even get on the main search page.
It's ok now, I had to use Yahoo for a few mins
Did you know that GAME is absorbing Gamestation? This means that the Gamestation website and stores will no longer exist.
game-lane.com.au for Aussie gamers. next day delivery guaranteed
Thanks for the up.
Will def check it out.
Edit: I have noticed that alot of the latest release PS3 games are US / Asia region.. I know the games themselves are region free, but in most cases DLC is not. Personally , I dont want to deal with multiple accounts for other regions just to get DLC.
An advantage of Ozgameshop, , they are generally even cheaper , all titles are Pal region , all dlc on the aussie store is compatible., so way less hassle. However, everything takes at least 5 business days to receive. .
i agree but that's my problem with ozgameshop.com
the delivery could take ages
The best place to get used games (and rare ones) in my experience are local pawn shops. They're hit-or-miss on what they have, but you can get some amazing deals.
As I work at a pawn shop I have to agree. Most of my games I get from my work. Along with a bunch of other stuff I really dont need...
Why is Steam NOT on this list!
I got Square Enix ENTIRE PC catalog for like $80!
Steam Winter sale will have fairly current games for like $3!
You can't beat that!
I got Red Orchestra 2 for $6.75 on Steam and love it.
Because it's the cheapest places to buy games, not be contracted into them with DRM. I like the prices, but if you have issues with your connection or account, it's lights out on everything you buy from them.
Hopefully Gabe wasn't kidding about Valve exploring DRM-free stuff.
GOG.COM then - most of pirated releases are taken from them without any cracking....
I buy all those 50% - 75% discounted games on Steam. So far, my account has been safe.
Origin scared me off though. For no reason, my account got hijacked and I lost all the games I bought from them. Shxt!
I'm never going back to Origin!!!
Amazon and Half for online. GameStop for retail.
Best Buy destroys Gamestop as a retail games seller.
@gamer magazine is actually worthwhile with Over $100 in saving per issue.
There's almost always an extra 100% trade-in promotion going one ($40 back for new games).
You get 10% back for trade-ins ($44), and 10% off used games.
Buy 2 get 1 free on Used games for signing up for Gamer's Club unlocked.
There's a deal of the month every month for $10 - $30 off of a fairly new game (maybe 2 - 6 months old), along with discounts on 3rd party controllers and headsets (Turtle Beach / Tritton / After glow controllers).
The biggest games of the seasons (1st half of the year, and second half of the year) get $20 gift cards for pre-ordering them. That included Halo 4, Call of Duty Black Ops, Dishonored, Borderlands 2, Far Cry 3, and more this year. The list for next year is already out and the games are:
Bioshock Infinite, Crysis 3, Dead Island Riptide, Dead Space 3, Gear of War Judgement, God of War Ascension, Grand THeft Auto 5, Injustice Gods AMong Us, The Last of Us, Metal Gear Rising Revengeance, South Park The Stick of Truth, Splinter Cell Blacklist, and Tomb Raider.
All high profile games that you were likely to buy will net you a free $20 gift card. Basically buy 3 get 1 free on the biggest games of the year.
Best Buy is the best buy when it comes to retail.
Disc Replay is the best physical place to buy them, but they only have stores in the midwestern US. I'm surprised people even go to GameStop in Indiana/Illinois anymore.
I buy all of my games brand new unless I absolutely cannot find it. I don't trust/like used stuff. Just a thing of mine.
I need help find a cheap xbox live gold card?
Steam beat all those. Digital > Physical
What do you do if your internet goes down?
Steam is safe.
Origin ... unless you want to throw away money.
I am pretty sure you can play most steam games in offline mode.
why not Gamestop?
Because Gamestop is freaking expensive compared to everything else. And bad. Don't forget to mention bad.
Should have put Glyde.com on here. The prices on used games there are awesome.
CeX is really good for trade-ins & buying used.
I remember seein' Dark Souls & Demon Souls for $8 each!
Not to mention, I found the Devil May Cry collection for PS3 there, used, for $17.
Check for store locations in your city, very decent store & you never feel raped out of your value.
Worse case, the web site usually has the same deals.
They also let you trade in various electronics (cameras, controllers, headsets, etc.), even movies, for store credit or cash, in which you can then use for whatever they have in the store.
I usually get games on Gamefly (buy used, which is like new with unused codes), ebay, Best Buy deals, NewEgg sometimes has great deal too.
#1 Steam
#2 Amazon
#3 greenmangaming
#4 gamersgate
#5 (for older games) GOG
Gamefly.com owns all those sites for console games. None of those sites you listed sells console games, except amazon, but I don't really see many good deals there. I like Steam for certain quirky digital download games or the occational really good sale.
Gamefly and Glyde.com are good too! Just got saints row 3 from gamefly for 13 bucks with shipping
I use GameFly quite a bit. I picked up Max Payne 3 and Sniper: Ghost Warrior just today actually.. $27 for both after tax and free shipping.
Want cheap used video games all the way back to NES? Check out my store in Kenosha, WI. My store is Colosseum Games and we carry NEs thru current systems. We have games, accessories, systems and some odds and ends. Best prices around!
We're hoping to expand to internet sales next year.
Number one discount site for me (I get games all the time for $9.99-12.99) is www.gamefly.com.
Every last game I've bought comes in mint condition. You'd think since they rent out those dvd's, most would be all beat up. Not true! They professional resurface every dvd and the cases are all mint because they aren't used when the game is being rented out. Try it, you wont regret it.

Artist's description:
Limited Edition Of 50 Canvas Prints (Original Photograph by Daniel Sannwald)
This technique I developed has taken several years to master. Many hours of trial and error, hundreds of mistakes, some happy and some not so much! My process involves three stages. First, I paint the abstract artwork. Second, I photograph that artwork and other textures from nature. Third, I choose the portrait or female figure photograph. I download all of the different layers into to the photo editor program.
This technology enables me to play with all the elements together. I spend many hours moving and arranging each piece, like a puzzle. I know it is finished when I have achieved the right balance. Meaning, the brightest colors, visual textures, and contrast for the final printed original artwork.
*Artwork will be printed with a signature and corresponding limited edition number.
*Note: Artwork shown in home setting is a digital rendition and may not be to scale. Drop shadow element added to give artwork depth perception. Please use a tape measure and use dimensions in artwork description to acquire accuracy. Due to the variance between centimeters and inches please allow 3/4 inch tolerance on all finished canvas prints.
Description Of Artists Emotional and Technical Process
Emotional Process
With each piece of artwork I create there are several emotions at play. I look at the face or figure to determine if there is a story to be told. Inevitably, there always is. I feel drawn to that person in an instinctual way.
Since I don't know them personally, my process starts to expose their hidden dimensions. The soul behind the beauty. Each layer of texture adds depth to the piece. I use my acrylic paintings, ink paintings, and photography, art which I create and then photograph.
As I add layers, a hidden version reveals itself to me. I have felt and seen many emotions surface that were not there in the original photo. Sometimes fear is exposed or joy, ecstasy or sorrow. We are all human. It matters not what our outward appearance is. The soul is always striving to reveal itself just under the surface.
My hope is that people view my art as a vehicle for their own emotions to roam freely. The vulnerability of the person pictured in the artwork allows us to be vulnerable. Therefore, identifying with each piece in there own unique way.
Technical Process
Each piece of art is crafted with layers of different textures and mediums. This process has been the focus of my work for the past three years. It involves acrylic painting, design, photography, inks, oil sticks and pastels.
The final art work is designed in a photo editor program. This technology gives me creative freedom to add in my abstract paintings and photography.
