Having teased one of the new Terran units due in the next instalment of StarCraft II, Heart of the Swarm, developers Blizzard are now showing the outline of a new Zerg unit.
And here it is. Scan your eyes over it from left to right and it looks like, yup, a Zerg. Scan from right to left, though, and it looks like a new Pokémon.
Maybe it's a combination of the two. That giant hump on its back could signal this is the Zerg's answer to Bulbasaur!

VIDEO: Clippers outlast Rockets
HOUSTON — It was back at the start of training camp when Blake Griffin declared that Lob City was closed for business.
Since then the Clippers have struggled to find a new identity, something catchy for postcards and maybe to put on all those new banners hanging inside Staples Center. Of course, Paris has pretty much put a headlock on the City of Lights and even Cedar Bluff, Ala., already laid claim to the label that is most historically accurate for the NBA's long-suffering franchise — Crappie Capital of the World.
"I don't think anyone has an identity except teams that have been together," said Clippers coach Doc Rivers. "You pretty much know who Indiana is — they're a big, physical team. Miami, you know who they are. Oklahoma and San Antonio. Other than that, I don't know anyone else."
Rivers would like to think the Clippers learned a little about who they can be with a win over the Rockets that was more a product of perseverance than sheer performance. After an opening few minutes that fed off J.J. Redick practically setting the nets on fire, the Clippers fell into a deeper funk than George Clinton behind a microphone and might have been on their way to packing an 0-3 record into their luggage after a swing through Orlando, Miami and Houston.
There were missed jumpers that bounced off the rims. There were layups that couldn't find the bucket or were rejected into the stands by the Rockets' Dwight Howard. More significant, there were shoulders slumped, heads hanging and eyes that were vacant.
It is one thing for the Clippers to roll happily along when they're pouring in 137 points, as they did five nights earlier against the Rockets in L.A. But if they are going to make the step forward to being real contenders in the contentious Western Conference, it is the other games that will make the difference. The ugly ones, the games that require concentration and grit and the kind of trust in each other that is built, at least at the start, on faith.
"It's a process," said guard Jamal Crawford. "We've got half a new team, a whole new coaching staff. We've got to weather the storm and get better each day and keep building. I said it before the season. We're not gonna be judged on what we do in the season. We're gonna be judged on the playoffs. We got to go through the process and build toward that."
The foundational construction is always done on the defensive end, which is how Rivers' teams in Boston made their calling, and it's what he's now trying to get through a continent away.
"I kept telling them to hang in there," Rivers said. "We started off so well and then it went bad and we went bad. We were all pouting and our body language was awful and I just kept telling them, 'Hang around, hang around, hang around. We'll find something for you defensively.' "
What the Clippers eventually found was a play here, a steal there that lit a spark that became a fire. After a Chandler Parsons layup gave Houston a 71-60 lead with 5:02 left in the third quarter, the Clippers went into a shutdown mode. They got stops on eight consecutive possessions by the Rockets and ripped off an 18-0 tear into the fourth quarter that let them fly home with a measure of dignity and a record (4-3) that had chinned itself back above the .500 mark.
"It's a long game, man," said point guard Chris Paul. "I watch more basketball than anybody. It reminds me of LeaguePass. I'm watching, flipping through channels and you think a game is over and later you see the scroll and you say, 'Oh, it's a two-point game, a three-point game.' That's how it goes sometimes and you to find a way to win it.
"We showed up to the fight late, which you can't do. They were a little bit grittier, a little bit scrappier than us. Then we finally said enough is enough."
It's the grit and the scrappiness that has been missing from the Clippers over the past three seasons as they've made their climb from dregs to highlight darlings. It's the part of their makeup that has led to consecutive flameouts in the playoffs, leading to the departure of former coach Vinny Del Negro and the arrival of Rivers and the search within the locker room and within themselves for a different way of competing.
"We're still understanding the offense, learning to trust each other on defense," Griffin said. "We haven't hit our stride yet. But when guys are playing hard like we did in that second half, we can overcome mistakes and misses."
It was far too early in a long season to call it must-win, but it is the necessary step up the ladder that the Clippers have to take to spur further progress and it came against a Rockets team that is just as, if not more, talented and equally as naive.
"They're just like us," Rivers said. "We're both gonna be a lot better later. They need time to figure it out. We need time to figure it out. It's early in the season. We know that. They know that. At the end of the year the Rockets are gonna be a helluva basketball team. At the end of the year I'm hoping we're gonna be a helluva basketball team."
Or at the very least not have to do a check of driver's licenses to find an identity.

They have a tutorial integrating their toolkit with CherryPy, so to teach my self Rialto, I decided to port their tutorial to TurboGears . Read along for how to make a simple app looking like the figure below.
I assume readers of this howto will be somewhat familiar with TurboGears, otherwise what's the point? So the first step is to generate a bare-bones TurboGears app with "tg-admin quickstart". Then Download and install rialtoPython from the Rialto website.
Then go to you controllers.py and first add the required import line:
from rialtoPython import *
Then, in the class root, empty the guts of the index method. Change the decorator of this method to:
def index(self):
Now we can proceed to insert the Rialto content inside the method. RialtoPython works by assembling the HTML page as a big string using python objects to generate the javascript parts. It's easy for a simple example like this but might get out of hand quickly for larger projects. I believe the python calls made within the index method could be done inside a Kid template, separating the view from the controller part as it is expected in a Turbogears application.
Here is the contents of the index Method:
@expose()Let's now go over how it works, in the beginning of the index method, the RialtoPython is instantiated and some variables are defined in order to make the following calls a little more readable.
def index(self):
rp = rialtoPython.RialtoPython()
out = []
DIV = "document.body"
LAYOUT = "ihmDemo"
WINDOW = "myWindow"
WINDOW_TITLE = "Rialto-Turbogears Integration Example"
FRAME = "boxDemo"
FORM = "myForm"
URL = "do"
# assembling the page
#app components
out.append(rp.windowTag(WINDOW, WINDOW_TITLE, DIV))
out.append(rp.frameTag(FRAME, '30', '30', '300', '120', 'My 1st python Box', 'true', 'false', 'relative', 'false', WINDOW))
out.append(rp.labelTag('label1', '25', '10', 'Spam', FORM))
out.append(rp.textTag('login', '25', '90', '200', 'A', FORM, 'true', 'true', 'Eggs'))
out.append(rp.buttonTag('doLogon', 'Ni!', '70', '10', 'And now to something completely different', ['FORM', FORM], FORM))
out.append(rp.buttonTag('default', 'Camelot!', '70', '100', 'The television reception isnt good here anyway', ['FORM', FORM], FORM))
# close the layout Tag
# Completing the Html code
return " ".join(out)
All "rp" methods called, return strings that are stored sequentially in the "out" list and the joined into a single string which contains the complete code of the application page. The App contains a frame with a form in it containing a text lable, a text input box, and a couple of buttons, when we call the method that returns the form code, a URL is specified to handle the the data coming from the form. On Turbogears, the URLs are exposed methods of the Root class. So let us write this method:
def do(self,login,action):
if action=='doLogon':
if login=="":
error_msg.append("Empty Spam")
elif login!="Eggs":
error_msg.append("Unknown Spam")
if len(error_msg)>0:
out.append(res.showAlert('myAlert', ','.join(error_msg)))
out.append(res.showAlert('myAlert', 'This Spam was good!'))
elif action == 'default':
out.append(res.showAlert('myAlert', 'Are you sure, you want to go to camelot?'))
out.append(res.showAlert('myAlert', 'I dont know anything about the action %s'% action))
return ''.join(out)
The method "do" shows a floating alert window in response to pressing a button in the form. The method takes two arguments: "login", which is the contents of the input text box of the same name. Action is generated by the rialto API and contains the name of the button pressed.
There is only a couple of other things left for us to do before our app is ready:
- You have to download the Rialto javascript API source distribution, and unzip it in the same directory we have our controllers.py. After you do that, you should have a "rialtoEngine" directory in it.
- Now you have to add the following code to your app.cfg in order to let Turbogears find the Rialto code:
[/rialtoEngine]Now just start your application and point your browser to http://localhost:8080 to see your first rich internet application, written entirely in Python, running.
Tips: This code may require the latest version of RialtoPython released in may 2007.

Tonoloway Church Service Set For October 7
The Friends of Tonoloway's fall worship service held annually at Tonoloway Primitive Baptist Church takes place Sunday, Oct. 7, in the historic brick church near Warfordsburg in Thompson Township, Fulton County, Pa.
Guest minister for the 2 p. m. service is Rev. David E. Ford of the First Baptist Church of Three Springs, Pa. The order of service includes a selection of sacred music performed by the Sharon Singers of the Sharon Mennonite Bible Institute, Harrisonville, Pa., and congregational hymns, all to be performed a cappella in the tradition of the Primitive Baptists.
Refreshments will be served in the churchyard following the service.
Organized circa 1745, Tonoloway is Fulton County's oldest church. More than 20 of its early members served in the Revolutionary War, including its first permanent minister, Rev. Joseph Powell, a colonial delegate to state and national constitutional conventions. Powell is buried at Tonoloway as are the forefathers of many Fulton County and Hancock, Md., residents. The cemetery is still in use today.
Signatures written on the walls of the church by Union troops hospitalized there during Stonewall Jackson's bombardment of Hancock, Md., in 1862 can still be seen.
A nonprofit organization, Friends of Tonoloway Primitive Baptist Church was organized in 1979 to restore and preserve the church that was completed in 1835 as a place of worship and as a historic site. Services at Tonoloway are held just twice yearly, the third Sunday in May by the Tonoloway Cemetery Association and the Friends' fall service, the first Sunday in October.
The Oct. 7 offering will go toward the continued upkeep of the now fully restored church and its grounds.
Tonoloway Primitive Baptist Church is located on Thompson Road ( PA Route 655) just a few miles north of Hancock.

Also, I wonder if he'll ever get (or reveal?) a name.
He hasn't said a single word in person (even though he's spoken in his light form), and it seems he understands at least basic ideas (getting someone's attention, the need to protect, when there's danger, he's even done some warning in the past). If only he would (or could? maybe the spirit form is more of a telepathy and not a verbal language that needs to be learned) speak, I can just imagine the questions
Don't you think it's a little silly that a bonafide God Hand like Griffith is being spiritually outmuscled/morphing into a child?
Although i can see him projecting the boys soul so he can see his parents the same way he has those soldiers souls have their farewells.
But i question the range of this ability, unless he was there with Zodd in the first encounter(which would be reasonable since he was there at Vritanis), then for the second encounter i can buy Griffith needn't be nearby as the Ganishka Tree allows him to project all over the planet.
when Guts meets up with Griffith and finds out his sons soul lies within his archenemy, and his blade that damages the very soul,
The hole in this theory though, is why Guts(nor Skull Knight) didn't quickly sense the tremendous essence of a God Hand member in the vicinity?
And to the "I think the boy takes over Griffith during full moons", when Griffith retrieves Princess Charlotte, her maid and the bed, there's a page with a Massive and clear full moon in the background, so that should clear that out of the picture
Another theory could be that Griffith didn't like the feeling he had in him after meeting Guts at Godo's place, so he removed the childs soul/ethereal body and maybe Zodd was there only to drop him off, from there the child is like it was before, only shows up during a full moon, if he's simply an ethereal body it still makes sense as schierke said "It's the night when does associated with the astral world run rampant", but this feels fairly weak in comparison to the drama that will ensue should the child reside in Griffith
although that prophecy he gave Guts could have been pulled straight out of the Idea Of Evil, as the fetus is infused with God Hand "genes"(for lack of a better word) and can probabley predict like the rest of the God Hand
Hello and welcome to the forum! I always enjoy revisiting these old topics, but most of these threads have already been pulled.
Not if a result of the merging meant they shared the same power. When the child was in control, the ability he used to tame the Beast of Darkness was pretty fantastic (also worthy of note, the episode title during that feat was "Superior Being.")
Casca was able to touch and hold the child. That's fundamentally different from astral projection and what Griffith does with souls.
I don't think you've thought this all the way through.
That's an over embellishment of the damage the Dragon Slayer does. It inflicts wounds on an astral body.
It's a good question, but it could just be that when the child is in control of the body, which originally belonged to him, that there is no trace of Griffith in those moments.
Nah, look more closely at the moon.
Not just weak, but rather nonsensical. It's the child's body that Griffith possessed, not the other way around.
It wasn't as much of a prophecy as that the child intercepted the mass dream from the Falcon of Light and gave Guts specific instructions after it.
What's wrong with the moon?REMOVED
Don't you think it's a little silly that a bonafide God Hand like Griffith is being spiritually outmuscled/morphing into a child?
Although i can see him projecting the boys soul so he can see his parents the same way he has those soldiers souls have their farewells.
The kid will be a major(MAJOR) player in the story
The episode is Titled "Superhuman(Jnanin)" in the Dark Horse installment
This adds some consideration to Schierke's theory that the boy is some emmisary or king Hanafubuku himself, im sure it could be made sense of but it doesn't explain Zodd or the uncanny resemblance to Casca, which is why we are all more or less convinced it must be Guts childBut the boy's power is very similar to very powerful magi, as Schierke once said, powerful enough magi can even fly and that boy to have gotten up to those "branches", that could have taken the magi ability of flight or the flight ability is those branches as we see him in a sense, "fly" along the branches i.e the "secret paths" that powerful beings like king hanafubuku are capable of using(further giving some credence to Schierke's theory)Although with me, along with the majority think it's more likely it is Guts child but also to go along with my own theory(s), I think he gained his knowledge either from being intuned with the Idea Of Evil/a deep layer of the astral world or as he lay alongside Griffith/Femto's spirit
the trinity - Physical/Astral/Origin
I dont know how you can say this with certainty, there is seemingly alot of touching going on
the Ganishka tree, esspecially since it caused the world to sink into a deeper realm of the astral world
Dont think i've ever read "astral body", i've read "ethereal body" that roam the "astral world"and as i've shown above, ethereal = spirit(perhaps soul was the wrong word, but astral world is just another way of saying spirit world) and thus astral = ethereal in your case
The mass dreams had nothing to do with Casca or her being tied to a pillar of fire etc(pretty specific indeed)
P.S. "A bonafide God Hand"? Are there fake members of the God Hand?
That makes no sense whatsoever. Griffith has no reason to indulge the desires of the boy, and he's not "projecting" the kid's soul anyway. He appears with a corporeal body and we also get to see his astral body (one that bears some resemblance to Griffith...). Beyond that, Griffith is also not "projecting" the souls of the dead, at best he calls them to him and allows them to be seen.
At that time the boy just clued Guts in on what was going on. He also doesn't have "God Hand genes" and isn't related to the Idea of Evil as far as we know. He was "just" corrupted by evil while in the womb.
Dark Horse's translation is inaccurate. "Superior Being" or "Super Being" is more correct.
Trinity? Origin?
Walter's point is that the boy has a body of flesh. The difference between the two is quite obvious.
Right you are "Aazealh"
Because he vanishes in the sunlight despite having a physical body, apostles dont have any problem bathing in the sunlight
I also haven't seen anything saying he "calls" them, it has been stated they "gather" around Griffith though
And the kid is pretty slick eh? he leaves his vessel yet Griffith can't take advantage and he's wide awake in his body
Refer to the top, i'm in need of answers
Schierke mentions a "trinity" in the Dark Horse version, the physical world, the world of spirits i.e astral world, and the soul of the origin i.e world of idea
Sure, but that wasn't what he said
I put your username between quotation marks because it's not a proper noun. Don't feel bad about it.
...?Griffith does not vanish in the sunlight. That is not something that distinguishes members of the God Hand from apostles.And if you refer to the boy, even though I wasn't talking about him in the line you quoted, then that was before Femto was incarnated into his body. We haven't seen how he reacts to sunlight since then. In any case, the boy has never been related to apostles (and he obviously wasn't affiliated with the God Hand either before the incarnation). He had been tainted by Femto while in the womb, and that had made him a rather unique being in the Berserk world. That's all.
I think the pictures speak for themselves. Take episode 335, Griffith comes, he motions and they appear, he motions again and they go to their loved ones, taking human form. They are clearly coming to him because he wills it. It's not something that just happens to be no matter what.
You know, I'm always in favor of being as accurate as possible, but in the context of a discussion I think showing good faith is generally the commendable way to go about things.
I dont/didn't, i put your name in quotations because i wasn't planning on quoting anything, but eventually i did and thus the confusion ensued
I did mean the boy, but you are missing my point completely, the quote before had to do with the "bonafide god-hand" comment i had made, what i meant to say is that i feel the boy is like a demi-god-hand, he wasn't "just" corrupted by any evil, and may have (for a lack of a better word) "god-hand genes"but now, unlike before, you're admitting he wasn't "just" tainted, as if by any ole' demon, but tainted by a very powerful being, which does make him uniqueand thus my use of "bonafide" when referring to Griffith
They were there before any motioning, just checked, and the "focusing of power" moment was no different to when he held the "dad's" soul in his hand before sending him to his family in his physical appearenceNot seeing anything that proves he can call any spirit from wherever to him although with his mysterious "angelic" abilities i'd buy w/e miura came up with about him repelling or attracting
Looks to me like the spirits gather around not so different to how they gather to Guts, but Guts isn't an "angel" beloved by the dead and with super powers
Did i again say something offensive? Otherwise im not following
Hahaha, yeah well, no, the boy isn't like a "demi-member of the God Hand". He was certainly unique even before the Incarnation, but his powers were not at all comparable (more like a "super specter" of sorts), nor was he related to them beyond the fact his sorry condition was the result of being tainted by one of them. So yes, the boy was "just" corrupted by evil (as the Skull Knight tells Guts in volume 14), and no, he didn't have "God Hand genes". You're quick to talk of things being written black on white in the manga when it suits you, but you aren't so picky when it comes to your own strange assumptions...There's nothing in the manga that hints in any way whatsover at what you're saying. The boy had neither the power, the agenda, the evil presence or the specific astral properties of a member of the God Hand. Unlike them, he had a corporeal body (the one that Femto took over) and could materialize in the world with ease.
Hahaha, look, that's exactly what I'm talking about when I say you argue in bad faith. You're the one who was saying Griffith was "projecting" those souls, which just isn't true. Then I threw you a bone by saying he does beckon to them when it suits him, but now you're arguing the veracity of that as if it wasn't what you were saying in the first place!
In any case, you'll notice that Griffith isn't surrounded by the dead all day long, and that in episode 335 they come to him (which we do see) right at that moment. It's not a coincidence: they came because he wanted them to.
What I'm saying is that it was clear what Walter's point was, and that focusing on the wording to find a "gotcha" instead of considering his point didn't help your argument. Same thing is currently happening just above.
well, being a fetus and bizarrely tainted, nvm with alot less evil than official members of the god-hand, yea, it does kind of suggest it's power wouldn't be comparable to a... wait for it, "bonafide" god-hand
It seems that projecting comment completely flew over your head, when i used the word projecting i meant only for the act of giving the orb of light its physical formI was in no way shape or form talking about griffiths ability to call or control or send away the spirits, simply put the process of going from orb to man shaped
They showed up when he showed up?It would be no coincidence if Guts walked into a cemetary at night(wouldn't need to be night anymore) and ghosts were "summoned" to him
and im sure they do come because he wants them to, doesn't mean he calls them, he could just "let" them
Oh, kind of like "it would be more exact to say the astral world was brought into the corpereal world..."Dont worry about it, i don't, i don't see a problem with being corrected
Besides, if someone stumbles on this site and sees constant bickering they could be turned off. Just saying.
I've come to the conclusion it's a waste of time arguing about stuff you just don't know for sure. Until the series is over and all is explained, why get upset about it having a disagreement? Besides, if someone stumbles on this site and sees constant bickering they could be turned off. Just saying.
Alright, so now it's clear you have no actual point, nothing to back what you're asserting, but you just don't want to relent. The boy was never a member of the God Hand in any capacity before the Incarnation occurred. Everything in the manga points to the contrary.
Your inability to use proper vocabulary is no one's fault but yours.
Beyond that, you used that word when you were comparing the summoning of dead souls to the Moonlight Boy's appearance to his parents, which you mistakenly believed was a process through which Griffith discarded the boy from himself (something closer to the notion of a "projection").
And since you're one for accuracy, Griffith doesn't give the souls (who aren't really orbs) a physical form. They take on a human shape but they have no corporeal body.
They appeared shortly after he did, actually. In any case, like I precedently pointed out, we have seen Griffith countless times without seeing souls near him, including when surrounded by dead bodies (on the battlefield).
Additionally, the first time we saw him summon souls like that, he was not near any corpses that we could see, so that's not related.
Finally, Guts is attacked by specters regardless of being near to corpses or not. If anything, being near a cemetary would likely mean he'd be attacked by possessed skeletons or decomposing bodies, like we have seen in the past.
Ah, so he could just let them come! Well sure, sure all the souls everywhere could always be trying to come swirling around him and he'd be consciously repulsing them all the time, except when he wanted to cherry-pick certain souls at a certain time and allow them to come nearby so that they'd see their loved ones. Or he could summon them and allow them to be seen when he sees fit.
The difference is that your reply was a way for you to avoid admitting the evidence: that the boy isn't an astral projection. And it does seem to me that you have a problem with being corrected, as our current exchange shows.
You seem to be losing it a bit, relax man, this is pointless banter, it wont affect our daily lives
But here's some evidence, the kid can teleport, control evil spirits and seemingly a forceshield(similar to Griffiths push and pull?) or that's what appeared like in one frame when mozgus shot his fire, oh and he also has some weird illusionary/telekenetic ability which allowed him to show guts casca's face(on fire)
I think him controling evil spirits shows he's maybe above even an apostle, rank wise, im sure any apostle would murder him in a fight, think royalty.
Nah, although I admit I sometimes mess up what im trying to get across, but this one I think is your own fault, sorry friend.
No, there were two theories, you're getting them mixed togetherSimply put, not the summoning of the dead souls, projecting their physical appearence from their orb like spirits, get it?
Because it wasn't night time, and later on because of the Ganishka tree
What's not related? Was he not right next to a battlefield? I dont think it would be too far-fetched to believe there were some spirits right around the corner, amidst all the dead bodies.
It's too bad I can't post an image(with the text), but, i emplore you, go to the page(s) when we first see Griffith playing with the ghosts, plenty of spirits around, kid says "where's dad/father/papa"(w/e, paraphrasing) Griffith grabs hold of his spirit and projects(I actually can't think of another word) his physical appearence, they have their farewells yada yada, notice there are still plenty of spirits around before he ultimately, seemingly with less effort than giving the spirits their physical appearence, just sort of nonchalantly sends them away.Now, go to the latest chapter, go to the page where Griffith is "charging up his "od" before "projecting" the spirits with family in the vicinity. Now turn the page and what do you have? More spirits, yes, he didn't project all the spirits, he can choose to give them a "physical appearence" with a little effort OR just send them away deeper into the beyond with little thought.So it's not so absurd, right?
Umm, yea, I had an opinion, usually people stick to their opinions until convinced otherwise or is that just me? I had the (stupid)idea in one theory that maybe the boy was being projected by a nearby Griffith, kind of like those other spirits, Walt said "yea but casca can touch the boy, you can't touch the other spirits" I said "not true man, here, look at this, you can touch them"and our minds = blownHonestly I think your quarrell here is that i might have been right with Walter?
Not to seem pretentious but after that post(maybe it was my very first post) I think the negative karma rolled in, and I wasn't sure what I did wrong, wondering if maybe the karma came from my modifying of my posts, but I think i get it now. That this forum, although im sure great people, intelligent people, is not too welcoming to newbies with their own thoughtsPerhaps I need but simply have you guys warm up to me, or maybe we'll never get along because I have my own opinions
Haven't seen any specter use that whirling teleporting ability
If you can't understand what I meant when I said "rank wise"/"think royalty" then you're either, i dont want to go there.. or fiegning ignorance doing the very thing you accused me of. Avoiding the point just to get a "gotcha" was it?
Anyway, this convo has gone on long enough.

Rural.In my native language, Portuguese, it's really simple to pronounce, but in English it's a complete torture And I'm really curious: you guys have trouble or think it is annoying to pronounce it, or the problem it's me who is not an English native speaker?
No, most people just end up looking like idiots when they try to say it.
Hi Bob,I forwarded you that email.Thanks!Bob
Huh, I also worked with a person who would say it, not as often as that, though. She was a pretty positive person, but sometimes shit just happened and it was her way of saying "Well, this sucks, let's accept it's suckage, quit whining about it and move forward." I guess it depends on the person who's using this phrase's attitude and the context it's used in. I never particularly liked the saying and sometimes it seems like people just use it to be dismissive, like "It sucks, but I don't want to deal with it."
"Thanks!" has really started to bug me. Every work email I get ends with it. For example:What the fuck are you thanking me for? Why the excitement? There are so many other ways to end an email, so stop with the thanks!
SJWBeta CuckAlt-rightEcho chamberI've gotten real sick and tired of hearing these all the time this past year.
Maybe you should hang out with a different crowd.
Or get off of Reddit.
I only read online scanlations so it's all I knew.
That was long ago I hope!
I've been trying to get all the volumes together, up to Vol. 20 now. Nearly there now.
Forgot to mention that I also dislike the term: "I could care less" when you intend to imply that you dont care.. Its an unfinished statement which is roughly: "I could care less, but I dont know how."However, when it's unfinished it implies that you do infact care, and it could be that you care a little, or a ton.
When you want to colloquially express that you dont care at all about something, you might say I couldnt care less. This phrase first popped up in British English at the turn of the 20th century and is still popular today. In the 1960s, a controversial American variant of this phase entered popular usage: I could care less. Many native English speakers, both in the UK and US, find this expression to be logically flawed. If you couldnt care less, then its impossible for you to care any less than you do. If you could care less, however (and you want to be taken literally), youre saying that it is possible for you to care less than you care now. Those who take issue with this believe the later variant says very little about your level of caring, and so they fervidly avoid it.Etymologists suggest that I could care less emerged as a sarcastic variant employing Yiddish humor. They point to the different intonations used in saying I couldnt care less versus I could care less. The latter mirrors the intonation of the sarcastic Yiddish-English phrase I should be so lucky! where the verb is stressed.The argument of logic falls apart when you consider the fact that both these phrases are idioms. In English, along with other languages, idioms arent required to follow logic, and to point out the lack of logic in one idiom and not all idioms is
illogical. Take the expression head over heels, which makes far less sense than heels over head when you think about the physics of a somersault. It turns out heels over head entered English around 1400, over 250 years before head over heels, however, the logical version of this idiom hasnt been in popular usage since the late Victorian era.
So, interestingly enough, both are correct.
It also explains the emphasis in your Daiba signature! Thank you everybody, I'll be here all week.
OCD.some people think they have OCD just because they like keeping things clean. this sounds offensive and stupid.1.) "My OCD is kicking in every time I see Zodd's horn."

"Mother of 2 finally gets her sexy
'beach-body' back!"
After my second baby, I had a terrible time trying to lose the weight. It seemed like my body would never go back to normal. After yo-yo dieting and trying different workout fads, I got a few of my cousins together to join iLoveKickboxing - East Greenwich, NJ because I heard that their kickboxing classes were the best. I laughed when one of the instructors told me I could lose 20 lbs in 8 weeks. 21 pounds later and I'm still in shock.
Thanks guys!

"I'm simply amazed at how fast I'm losing weight."
After trying tons of diets... exercise tapes... gyms... meditations... and a million other things... I wish I had just done this from the start.
It's so simple. You don't have to think about it. You show up, you do the workout, you go home. Then, you look at the scale every few days or so - and you see the number going down and down and down. That's it. No rocket science. No books. No counting calories or anything complicated like that.
Do yourself a favor and stop trying to make all these crazy diets and things work. Just show up for class and let the professionals take care of the rest. I'm so glad I did.

How has hockey changed since the NHL owners locked out the players for the entire 2004-2005 season?
The rules were changed to make the game faster, more offensive, and less clutch-and-grabby. Two-line passes were no longer illegal. A shootout was added so that there is always a winner.
The owners, who got everything they asked for in the 2005 collective bargaining agreement, imposed a salary cap on the teams and got the players to accept a 24 percent rollback in their salaries. That salary cap has increased every year. Several teams – the Phoenix Coyotes, the Anaheim Ducks, the Columbus Blue Jackets, the Florida Panthers and, surprisingly, the New Jersey Devils – are currently facing significant financial problems.
Since 2005 the average player's salary has increased from $1.45 million to $2.4 million. The league's aggregate income has risen from $2.3 billion before the lockout to $3.3 billion last season.
In the years following the work stoppage, hockey has enjoyed significantly increased fan support, both in the various arenas and on TV. A 10-year deal with NBC makes hockey central to the network's plans to have its NBC Sports Network (née the Outdoor Life Network and later Versus) give ESPN a run for its money and its viewers.
Seven different teams have won the Stanley Cup.
The league has taken significant steps to diminish the serious head injuries that have led to suicides, premature deaths, and shortened careers.
Perhaps the most significant change has been the establishment of the Winter Classic, an outdoor game played on Jan. 1 each season that has grown in just five years into one of our premiere sporting events.
Hockey looks to be in great shape.
So why, last Saturday, at 11:59 p.m. when the collective bargaining agreement signed after the last lockout expired, did the owners slam the doors shut again?
The owners, in spite of winning the last CBA almost 100 percent, still feel the players are paid too much.
Because of the structure of the last CBA, teams were able to construct contracts that basically overcame the cap restrictions. Winking at warp speed, the league has ruled it's all legal.
Now, to protect themselves from themselves, the owners, led by Commissioner Gary Bettman, want to negotiate a new CBA that controls the very people who lacked control under the old one.
Under the old CBA, players got 57 percent of the hockey revenue and the owners, 43 percent. In the current negotiations, the owners originally proposed an exact reversal of that, asking that the players once again have their salaries reduced by 24 percent.
The players weren't happy. They are better organized and more unified this time around. Donald Fehr, formerly the head of Major League Baseball's players union, is heading the NHLPA.
Having given up so much the last time, the players – while recognizing they'll have to sacrifice something – aren't willing to contribute all they've gained in the last seven years.
The union has also said that it would be willing to start the season under the old CBA while negotiations continued. The owners said basically, "No way José – it's our way or the highway."
Both sides have to be flexible. This time it seems that the players are the ones demonstrating the most flexibility. They have offered several rollbacks and even suggested they'd contribute to some revenue-sharing plans that would help the financially distressed franchises.
Because the owners won last time, maybe they think they're going to win again this time. That's not negotiation. That's arrogance.
When asked about how this would affect the fans, Bettman said, "We recovered well the last time because we have the world's greatest fans." Inherent in that smugly delivered answer is the thought that regardless of how badly the fans are treated, they'll come back.
Don't count on it.
My son Rob is as passionate a hockey fan as anyone I know. He was four when the Flyers won their first Stanley Cup in 1974. He's loved the sport ever since. He's fed up and says he doubts he'll come back if they lose a lot of the upcoming season. He blames the owners and says, "Why do we have to pay for their mistakes after all the support we've given their teams and their sport?"
Good questions.
The two sides need to sit down and talk about what's best for all parties: for the fans and also for those thousands of people nationwide who are game-day employees and will be out of work when there are no games.
My guess is that neither side will countenance losing the Winter Classic, so it's likely the season will begin sometime around Thanksgiving.
It could be sooner if people would follow the advice of my friend and colleague, Inquirer Flyers beat-writer Sam Carchidi, who wrote in his Sept. 9 hockey column, "Skip the rhetoric, agree to a 50-50 split, and start the season on time."
Sam's right. Are the owners and the players smart enough to do that? With Bettman leading the owners and with the players having more to protect, my guess is they're not. What an unnecessary travesty this all is.

I like all the progress in the app, but I'd still like to see the reading view be fully devoted to the text I'm reading. Right now, only the bottom menu bar disappears, but the top one simply changes from brown to clear, but doesn't disappear - and doesn't create more reading space. This is especially troublesome on an iphone with two texts in view. With two title menu bars devoted to the screen, too much real estate is taken away. I feel like I don't need the title/menu bar in reading mode because I already know what I'm reading - because I chose it. I can already 'tap' to bring the title/menu bar up again in case I need it. The basic ESV app does this well.
Thanks for the great work!

Those Infectious Punjabi Dance Rhythms
Five years ago, as percussionist Sunny Jain's own jazz ensemble, the Sunny Jain Collective, was gaining respect, he was often also playing with a group of musicians of South Asian parentage—principally guitarist Rez Abbassi, pianist Vijay Iyer and saxophonist Rudresh Mahanthappa—who were on jazz's cutting edge. Yet Mr. Jain was dissatisfied.
"I was getting disenchanted with the jazz scene," the 37-year-old said over lunch last month at a Brooklyn café. "I was just starting to feel that I wasn't connecting with people." In response, he started Red Baraat, an eight-piece band that builds on the traditional sounds of North Indian brass bands. Its infectious rhythms, fascinating harmonies and raucous sound have connected with people all over the world. Red Baraat has become a fixture at international festivals and its first release, 2008's "Chaal Baby" (Sinj), received good notices. On Tuesday, the band is releasing its second studio recording, "Shruggy Ji" (Sinj), and it will spend the next two months on its first proper tour of U.S. venues, with engagements slated in the Northeast, Midwest, South and West Coast.
Some of the band's inspiration comes from a childhood visit Mr. Jain made to India for his uncle's wedding. "This Indian marching band showed up and started jamming out during the Baraat [the wedding procession]; everyone began dancing and singing along to the song, and we started parading through the street," he recalled. After 20 minutes, two men on dhol (a large handheld drum with the tubby resonance of the tabla and the kinetic force of a conga) who were not with the band joined the parade and started playing along to the music. The spectacle and sonic onslaught made a deep impression on the youngster. "For a 5-year-old, it was just crazy," he said.
Mr. Jain was born and grew up in Rochester, N.Y., where his parents were involved in the Jainist religious community; Jainism is an Indian religion that centers on nonviolence toward all living beings. The youngest of three children, he recalls singing devotional songs as well as hearing a lot of Bollywood music on his father's reel-to-reel tape player. His older siblings introduced him to American pop and rock. He took up formal drum instruction at age 10 and began studying jazz two years later, citing the work of masters like Art Blakey, Philly Joe Jones, Max Roach, Tony Williams, Elvin Jones and Roy Haynes as early influences. He studied jazz at Rutgers University and New York University, and as he began composing he integrated Indian influences.
Mr. Jain says he was moved by both the music of Indian-born percussionist Trilok Gurtu and the Indian fusion projects of British guitarist John McLaughlin, but the London-based electronic dance music of artists like Talvin Singh and the Asian Dub Foundation exerted the greatest influence on him. Upon hearing their work, he realized, "I didn't have to make music that was 'jazz' or that was 'world music.'"
He said of Red Baraat, "It's where I'm at, and what I'm hearing—getting into these two disparate cultures that were compartmentalized for me for a long time." The band has a unique, intense sound that transcends its ingredients.
At a show at New York's Rockwood Music Hall in December, Red Baraat captured the crowd from the first note, which is one of Mr. Jain's objectives. "I wanted to bring a ferocious energy that would enrapt people," he said. The seven members fanned out around Mr. Jain, who was at the center beating out furious rhythms on the dhol, often in counterpoint to powerful blasts from the horns and with vocals that accented the momentum of the music.
Red Baraat's harmonies from the horns are both familiar and exotic due to the instrumentation; one of the two trumpeters in the band plays bass trumpet, and there's a sousaphone player as well. Mr. Jain proudly points to the diversity of the band members' ethnic and religious backgrounds as a reflection of their home base in Brooklyn.
Early reviews of "Shruggy Ji" have likened its music to that of Washington-based Go-Go, and the band's sound is often compared to the music of New Orleans or the Balkans. But Mr. Jain says that his primary influence is North India, with a secondary contribution from the jazz and pop of his youth.
"I love when people hear different things in the music," he said, but noted that he wasn't trying to work within those traditions. "It was just an idea I had in my head that I wanted to do with these guys."
Mr. Jain's instrument is a core feature of the band. "Indian fusion usually involves sitar, tabla or vocals, and it was odd to me that almost no one was using the dhol," he said. "It's the dance drum of Punjab. It's something you hear in all Bollywood music, and it's synonymous with Punjabi culture, which is my background."
He said of the Punjabi musical tradition: "It syncs up with swing, hip-hop, go-go and other musical styles. What people hear in the music depends on a person's musical background."

If you feel like you've already read quite a bit about the documentary "Bully," you have. But that still won't prepare you for the experience of seeing it.
"Bully" has been in the news a lot lately because it received a restrictive R rating (for a small amount of bad language) and then chose to go into theaters unrated. Its distributor, Weinstein Co., made that choice because the film's subject matter, the pervasiveness of school-related bullying and what can be done about it, would seem to cry out for a high school age and younger audience. And "Bully" has an emotional impact that must be viewed to be understood.
A passion project for filmmaker Lee Hirsch, who also served as his own cinematographer, "Bully" hopscotches around the country looking at the situations of five different children who have suffered the effects of bullying.
Two of these children, however, are unable to appear on camera. They're represented by their parents because they were driven to suicide by persistent taunting, a situation that is every bit as disturbing as it sounds.
For as difficult as it is to watch children being bullied, it is just as hard to experience the look of unfathomable despair on the face of David Long of Murray County, Georgia, whose 17-year-old son Tyler hung himself in a closet in the family home.
"I knew he would be victimized at some point in time," the father says, describing the indescribable. "He had a target on his back. Everyone knew that."
Sharing that agony is Kirk Smalley of Oklahoma, whose 11-year-old son also took his own life. "We're nobody," says the father, searching around for answers to why family complaints about school bullying had gone unheeded. "If it had been some politician's son, there'd be a law tomorrow."
This theme of parental difficulty in getting satisfactory responses from those in authority positions in schools is one of "Bully's" constant refrains. Adults are portrayed as clueless and ineffectual, reduced to either "kids will be kids" platitudes or hand-wringing sentiments such as, "This is an awfully complicated and difficult situation."
When it comes to showing what some kids go through on a daily basis, "Bully" concentrates on the situation of 12-year-old Alex Libby of Sioux City, Iowa. Ironically, precisely because the Sioux City school board takes the bullying problem seriously, it allowed filmmaker Hirsch broad access to East Middle School and to the buses where much of the bullying of Alex takes place.
Since the kids on the bus were used to treating Alex with impunity and because Hirsch shot with a small Canon 5D Mark II, no one held back from hitting and cursing Alex just because a camera was present, which is where the footage that gave "Bully" its R-rating comes from.
Hirsch clearly developed a strong rapport with Alex, a bright, aware kid with an awkward manner who seems to confide in the filmmaker more than in his own parents. Alex is desperate for friends, and he doesn't want to make waves, so he spends quite a bit of time trying to downplay the extent of his bullying, until Hirsch takes the unusual step of showing adults some of the footage he has shot.
For a variety of reasons, the two other teens depicted get less — and less effective — screen time than Alex. Though we hear from Kelby Johnson, a 16-year-old from Tuttle, Okla., who was ostracized when she came out as a lesbian, we do not see her being taunted. And young Ja'Meya Jackson of Yazoo County, Mississippi, who took her mother's handgun to her school bus to stop chronic bullying, is in so much trouble that we hardly hear from her at all.
"Bully" is not comprehensive — the more modern torments of cyber bullying are not much dealt with — and it can feel haphazard as it jumps back and forth between its subjects.
Still, the film's cumulative force is considerable, and, more than that, it shows the efficacy of a recent "I Stand for the Silent" campaign that encourages all kids to speak up when they see bullying taking place. Maybe, this film suggests, getting power to the powerless is not as impossible as it sounds.

Well other than SK's intervention, this is what we'd been expecting all along, isn't it? At least it's what I had been expecting. Ganishka exploded/expanded and the power he had brought back from the abyss of the evil world was released into the world, changing it into a new one. I'm pretty sure if you search a bit you'll find discussions mentioning this exact same thing from a year ago.
Only an infidel would have believed that. Shame on you.
My eyes are horrible so I apologize if this is a silly question, but is that Daiba flying around Ganishka's body on page 9 and 10-11?
So the Beherit Sword might be useless against the God Hand, and here I thought that maybe in the future Guts would have to utilize it to defeat the God Hand. (Much like a zelda game.)
Very interesting indeed. So, Skully indirectly opened up...the age of darkness, with ironically, light? IS skully kicking himself, is Femto just as astounded of whats going on?
That's true. I think I didn't represent myself well. I meant more along the lines of the conclusion of Skull Knight's attack. I was kind of hoping he would've injured, killed, or maimed Femto in some way, but it definitely didn't turn out that way, eh?
It was my one moment of weakness. In my darkest hour, I doubted Miura. Please forgive me?
My eyes are horrible so I apologize if this is a silly question, but is that Daiba flying around Ganishka's body on page 9 and 10-11?
Skully will give a country to Griffith. Why he did it?
Nice avatar upgrade, Aaz, the SK is back!
By the way guys, just a side note, but it's not the first time we hear about the "junction of times". Ubik uses the same word after SK saves Guts and Casca during the Occultation ceremony, and so does SK when he warns Guts about the Incarnation to come at the end of volume 18, in episode 142.
It looks like SK is acting the Idea's plot.
At this rate if SK is a badass enough, he may try(IMO) to use Guts to beat down somehow Femto or God Hand.
It looks like SK is acting the Idea's plot.
Just a thought, but could it be that Griffith used the exact same space-bending ability back then, when all those arrows just missed him (in volume 22, just before Locus, Rakshas and Grunbeld are introduced)?
If thats the case, it would cast a slightly different light on him: It's not that weapons are somehow unable to hit him, but he can avoid them with ease in way that gives the impression he couldn't be hit.
Anyway, I'm wondering whether Ganishka's explosion will cover the whole world or just a certain extent of the land. Like, an extent covering Midland, Griffith's soon to be kingdom.
I wonder if this light will reach Guts and crew, providing yet another roadblock to Elfhelm, or if this will somehow effect Elfhelm before they can reach it.So much to look forward to.
Precisely one of the things I had in mind. And the next episode would be a good time to go back to Guts, too.
I was actually thinking of something along the lines of ... "this restoration spell hasn't worked for centuries... but now it does!"
Matter turning into pure energy.... now thats pretty awesome
Any speculations what might have happened to the beherit that changed Ganishka? Have there been instances where the beherit just disappeared after the apostle was killed/liberated? I wonder if Daiba will pick it up again.
Moving on, it's a minor detail, but one that struck me as interesting ... Femto uses the generic term "Dokuro no Kishi" for Skully. It's what Guts calls him after their first meeting in vol 9, but it has always been sort of a "fake" name strapped on him for convenience purposes. One would think Femto would use a more formal title, since he's so in-the-know on things behind the scenes. Slan even calls him "your majesty." But oh well, The Skull Knight it will remain
No shit.
People have been speculating about this pretty much since SK first appeared in volume 9. Just saying...
I'd considered how it would affect Elfhelm too, but I don't think merging the worlds will necessarily be a "roadblock" for anything Guts and Co. are trying to achieve. As I've reiterated already, check out the last few pages of this episode -- everyone's bathed in what looks like an astral light, and within it, they resemble the astral forms Schierke and Farnese used during astral projection. This event could result in _more_ magic in the world, not the other way around.
Do you think the merging of the worlds will have any effect on Guts's and Casca's brands? I almost wonder if the pain would be so overwhelming that they'd be in mortal danger.
Seems like Skullknight just hightailed out of there. One wonders if SK had any indication that his attack won't work and if that is the case why would he continue with it?
Any speculations what might have happened to the beherit that changed Ganishka?
I don't know, but if this really is world encompassing, I don't know if I'd really want to be out in the middle of the ocean in case this all precludes to some sort of crazy monster infestation. But yes, all in all, I agree that this would be a very good time to go back to Guts and company. I'm crossing my fingers!

Hey guys
Does anyone know of a good Librarian program I can use for my Yamaha TX802? I don't need an editor. I basically just want to organize and audition a library of DX7 patches.
I used to use Opcode Galaxy on a Mac back in the old days and I really like the simplicity of that great program.
But I need something that runs on Windows XP.
I'd rather not spend 400 bucks on Midi Quest 10 because really I just need a simple program that I can use to transfer Sysex and organize patches and sound banks into favorites. I've been kind of out of the software loop for a while so please correct me if I'm wrong but it looks like you can't get Sound Diver for PC anymore although I could be wrong.
What do you guys use? Thanks for your ahelp.

Posts Taggedtip calculator deluxe
When the App Store first debuted, some of the first apps to make an appearance were those that save you from that one tiny bit of daily math you're forced to endure: tipping. For whatever reason, developers have since remained enamored with these apps and continue to fill the App Store with them.
Today we'll set out in search of the best free tip calculator on the market. There are tons to choose from, most of which are horrid, so this will definitely not be an easy task! We'll start off by looking at a paid app to establish a good feel for what we want, then we'll look at two free options, each with completely different strengths and weaknesses so you can choose one based on your particular standards.

Partial retirement wasn't all that common in 1960. More than 50 years later, a substantial percentage of people hold a "bridge" job before they stop working for good.
In fact, 20% of workers between the ages of 65 and 67—and analyzed in a recent University of Michigan Retirement Research Center study—are partially retired, up from 5% to 10% in 1960. More workers are slowing down earlier, too: 15% of those 60 to 62 years old are partially retired. According to the report, In 1960, partial retirement among this younger group was "virtually non-existent."
The study defines partial retirement as a job in which income doesn't exceed 50% of the maximum annual earnings a person made in his lifetime.
In the analysis, researchers looked at lifetime earnings histories of white males between 1960 and 2010, categorizing the status of workers as full-time, partially retired or fully retired. (The study was restricted to white males as an attempt to control for changes in the racial and gender composition of the work force over these years.) Researchers also only considered people with at least five years of continuous earnings of more than $5,000 (in 1984 dollars), to exclude those with irregular working histories.
"It is becoming increasingly common for older workers to exit a career job prior to retirement and continue in a lower-paying 'bridge' job," researchers wrote in a brief.
A big reason for an increase in partial retirement: higher unemployment.
People between 63 and 67, near traditional retirement age, are especially sensitive to increases in the national unemployment rate, according to the report. For every 1% rise in unemployment, there's a 1% drop in full employment for those between the ages of 55 and 75. And there's as much as a 2% drop in full employment for those between 63 and 67. More people are also apt to exit the labor force during times of high inflation, possibly because wages don't keep up with the increased cost of goods and services, according to the study.
But these workers may not be able to afford full retirement, or they may want to continue working to stay active. As a result, they accept jobs for lesser pay.

I had always thought "Drive Angry" was a documentary about my road trip to Canada three years ago but based on the new trailer it's got nothing to do with that. The 3D flick stars Nicolas Cage as a badass who's broken out of hell to settle a few scores. I hope his face bursts into flames, I love when it does that.
I've officially had enough of Betty White. Alright I think I had had enough a few months back but this crap is getting out of hand. Betty is now confirmed to have landed a role in the upcoming "Men in Black 3" film. In contracts though Nicole Scherzinger, one of the strippers in The Pussycat Dolls, has also landed a role. Seeing pictures of the two next to each other makes my head hurt.
If you're pissed about paying to see movies in 3D get ready for your head to explode. Apparently "Paranormal Activity 2" will be released in selected iMax theaters for your viewing pleasure. Because when you're watching a movie shot completely on a home video camera you're going to want to see that on a giant screen and make sure it's crystal clear. That's just logic.
A man in South Florida won a $650,000 in a settlement for injuries he received while getting a lap dance. Apparently he was stabbed in the eye by the strippers heel which punctured his eye socket and gave him permanent double vision. Sounds to me like he's getting free two for one lap dances the rest of his life. I guess I'm just a "glass half full" kind of guy though.

An entire generation of TV viewers and Hollywood are mourning today after actor Larry Hagman -- best known for his roles as the conniving Texas oilman J.R. Ewing on the wildly popular, long-running CBS serial drama Dallas and the good-natured astronaut Maj. Tony Nelson on '60s hit I Dream of Jeannie -- passed away at the age of 81 yesterday. Hagman died at 4:20 p.m. at a hospital in Dallas, TX after grappling with complications that arose from a recent battle with cancer, according to his family.
While the actor's death is heartbreaking, it's reassuring to hear that Hagman passed away in the best possible way -- in his favorite city, surrounded by his most beloved friends and family, including Dallas co-stars Linda Gray and Patrick Duffy.
Hagman's family released the following statement:
Larry was back in his beloved Dallas, re-enacting the iconic role he loved most. Larry's family and close friends had joined him in Dallas for the Thanksgiving holiday. When he passed, he was surrounded by loved ones. It was a peaceful passing, just as he had wished for. The family requests privacy at this time.
And while their wishes for privacy are sure to be respected, one of the things fans loved Hagman most for was how candid he was about his personal life. The actor publicly acknowledged that years of heavy drinking damaged his liver so much that at one point, he needed a transplant. He also smoked for many years, and although he quit, he eventually battled throat cancer.
In light of his passing, fans of the TNT Dallas reboot may also wonder how the network plans to handle Hagman's death on the second series. While TNT has yet to address that concern, Hagman had already filmed scenes for the second season of the series, which is expected to premiere on January 28, 2013 with a two-hour event.
In the meantime, Warner Bros., the studio that produces the show released a statement on behalf of the cast, crew, and executive producers Cynthia Cidre and Michael M. Robin:
Larry Hagman was a giant, a larger-than-life personality whose iconic performance as J.R. Ewing will endure as one of the most indelible in entertainment history. He truly loved portraying this globally recognized character, and he leaves a legacy of entertainment, generosity and grace. Everyone at Warner Bros. and in the Dallas family is deeply saddened by Larry's passing, and our thoughts are with his family and dear friends during this difficult time.
The studio's sentiment is one that is sure to be echoed by many of Hagman's peers, colleagues, and those of us who watched him on two of the most iconic shows of all time over the years. While his legend is sure to live on for years to come, Hagman surely will be missed.
In memory of the beloved actor, here's a clip from last month in which he discusses his cancer diagnosis and the new Dallas ...
