Maire O'Connor's former sporting lodge on the shores of Lough Inagh makes a delightful small hotel, with a country house atmosphere. It has large, well-proportioned rooms, interesting period detail and lovely fireplaces with welcoming log fires, as well as all the modern comforts.
Public areas include two drawing rooms, each with an open fire, and a very appealing bar with a big turf fire and its own back door and tiled floor for wet fishing gear.
Bedrooms, which include one recently added room and several with four-posters, are all well-appointed and unusually spacious, with views of lake and countryside. Walk-in dressing rooms lead to well-planned bathrooms, and tea/coffee-making facilities are available in rooms on request.
While it has special appeal to sportsmen, Lough Inagh makes a good base for touring Connemara and is only 42 miles from Galway; in addition to fishing, golf, pony trekking and garden visits are all among things to do nearby.
Off-season breaks offer especially good value and its genuine pet-friendliness make it a very attractive destination for people travelling with a dog.

Garden, walking, cycling, fly fishing. Equestrian, sea angling, garden visits and hunting/shooting all nearby.

Finisglen Room:
Non-residents are welcome for dinner in this handsome dining room, by reservation.
The cooking reflects the produce of the reion and gently adventurous, an enjoyable style that suits the house very well. Alongside the popular dishes like smoked salmon, pan-fried steaks, and lobster (when available), you may find specialities including starters of pan-fried scallops with julienne of vegetables and cider dressing, or a main course of medallions of pork with apple & fig compôte and marsala jus.
Desserts, including a wide range of ices, are home-made, service is friendly, and portions generous.
The wine list includes a fair range of half bottles, some non-alcoholic wines and, unusually, a rosé among the house wines.
*Tempting bar menus are also offered for lunch, dinner and afternoon tea.

Lately, our Wilmington Craigslist has been disappointing, so I've been checking out the Raleigh listings and either they have better taste than we do or they don't realize what they've got! Read wouldn't think twice if I needed a quick visit with my nieces and nephew. Perhaps he wouldn't notice if I took this little trip in a U-Haul?
$250 for a campaign dresser.
I mean, helloooo!
This brass beauty is $75! There is a similar looking table on 1st Dibs for $850.
I love the lines of this bar cart. Imagine it in a high gloss white. Did I mention it is $30?
These are $300 for the pair. They look pretty perfect just the way they are.I love the Moroccan lines of this headboard for $130!
Look at the lines on this Chinoiserie wingback! Oh, if there were only two because I need a pair for a client. It's $100!
So what do you think? Raleigh Craigslist beats ours any day. Booking that Uhaul....
Bye bye birdie,

On Thursday night, Tiffany & Co. took over the Guggenheim Museum for the launch of its 2014 Blue Book, an annual publication that showcases the brand's latest and most spectacular pieces. The iconic Frank Lloyd Wright structure made the perfect setting for the gems, which were on display on the museum's main floor, as well as on notable guests, including the actresses Jessica Biel, Kate Bosworth, and Katie Holmes. Adding to the luminescent effect was "The Diamond Sky," a custom installation by the Leo Kuelbs Collection that projected a jewel-centric video across the museum's rotunda.
The evening prompted some to reminisce about their introduction to Tiffany & Co. Katie Holmes recalled her first piece (a keychain) while gushing over an upgrade the brand had loaned her for the night (a 27.31 carat sapphire ring with diamonds). Kate Bosworth remembered receiving a simple band from her parents, for her Sweet 16. Jessica Biel, a silver chain ring that she was given at 13. "You know, I think they still make it," she noted, adding that she wore their diamond bow bracelet to this year's Oscars.
Perched within the atrium, guests sipped cocktails and ogled the mesmerizing video projection. Young girls took iPhone pics, starlets posed for photos, and Seth Meyers knocked his head back in laughter all night long. Bill Cunningham photographed anyone wearing a hat.
As the evening drew to a close and the crowd dissipated, the focus returned to the Blue Book jewels on display. "Go, pick something out," a man said to his wife, pointing to the gems. Gliding across the pavilion, she appeared as though she already had.

Sugar Rush: Gummies and Marshmallows at Sunrise Mart
Your daily dose of something sweet.
Browsing though the candy aisle at Sunrise Mart is one my favorite pastimes. Last week I spotted a store clerk stock the shelves of their East Village location with something I was unfamiliar with—Matcha Marshmallows! They're undeniably cute (like all Japanese candies), and $3.69 for a 3-ounce bag, the single-bite marshmallows shaped like mini-ping pong balls. Bite and there's a little heart of matcha paste at the very center. Soft, fluffy and completely innocent, these are the types of sweets you want to keep at the desk for midday munchies.
Don't forget, they also carry the whole line of Kasugai's gummy candies, $2.89 a bag. Many other Japanese and Chinese markets carry a limited selection of these fruity gummies, but here you can find every single flavor. Think Mangosteen (pictured above), Peach, Pineapple, Kiwi, Lychee, a mix pack, and even Muscat! These individually wrapped chewy candies are without a doubt my favorite type of gummy candies—gummi bears can't even begin to compete.

I had an argument with a Facebook friend the other week that led to others joining in with her against my expressing my views about her beliefs, and the politics attached to them.
She is Catholic, and was expressing support for the bishops who are suing the US government to stop them "being forced to supply contraceptives".
I linked some article about the absurdity of people - particularly women - who allow their lives (and in particular reproductive lives) to be dictated to be a bunch of celibate men. She deleted my post, and a row ensued, whereby I said that the Catholic church was "founded on a lie which has been allowed to fester for the past 2000 years".
It subsequently lost me more Facebook friends who, I imagine, see me as some kind of "monster" for criticizing this woman's "beliefs". I think I'm just making the woman think.
Am I alone in thinking there are more ways than one of putting an atheist message across? And that although gentle discussion has its place, the occasional blast of "This is how it is" is necessary?
Personally, I'm tired of treading on eggshells around religion. I think it's time to let the Emperor know in no uncertain terms that his new clothes don't exist, and that he's making a fool of himself - even if it means losing friends doing so.
I'm of the opinion that religion isn't just some benign nonsense, but that it has political consequences, and it's an absurdity that causes a lot more problems than it fixes. And that it's about time we made more noise about it.
Opinions, please.

If people dont want their views to be challenged then they should not post them. People have this illusion that because someone believes in something it should not be questioned because "is their belief". Once a person makes their beliefs available to the public square they have to deal with the heat.
This is a question that plagues me: why tolerate the intolerant?
I understand assimilation and acceptance of differences; the ability to accept diversity of culture, races, genders, worldviews, and ideas. What I don't understand is how people are incapable of drawing a line of just how much they're willing to accept about another person or culture. I think the line should be distinctly drawn where their tolerance for others stops. If they do not accept me; if they do not respect me; if they hurt me, threaten me, oppress me... or do the same to others... I will no longer extend my acceptance, respect, or peace pipe.
I absolutely do not feel intolerance should be tolerated, counter-intuitive as that may seem. Let's be reasonable. Can we not recognize when we're being threatened? Are we really so "peace loving" we'll sacrifice our own safety for the sake of being seen as politically correct? So we can pat ourselves on the back for being so progressive? People are being absurdly naive. When you tolerate those who are intolerant, you're going to be destroyed!
If they don't extend the same tolerance, they're not going to have a light-bulb-moment of "Oh how nice these people are! I guess we won't take advantage of their stupidity!" They will take advantage; it's the chink in our armor. Our strength (compassion) can also be our weakness is we're not vigilant. All the work we've done in the name of civil rights will be undermined because we just wanna love on everyone.
I believe in compassion, non-judgment, privacy, freedom, acceptance, and all that hippie jazz... so much!!! But some people absolutely do not love those things and will steal them from those who are not on their guard! We have to be on our guard. We have to call people out and hold them accountable, and draw a line of what is not accepted and will not be tolerated. Harming others will not be tolerated!! We do not bow our heads in reverence to people who cover for or engage in abuse... especially not abuse of children! If our words are blasphemous to their ears, they can go to Hell.
Mutual respect is key to a civil society... and when people display their unwillingness to cooperate, they are stating that they do not want to live in a civil society. They want power, and I'm sure as shit not handing it to them without a fight.
Excellent post. Thank you.
Dear Folks:
Cara excellent post!
One of the things I had to learn, sometimes painfully, is that we have to live in the same world with everyone else.
Many people hold beliefs as 'sacred', and some hold their 'opinions' in the same regard!
I cut my debate skills on park block evangelists while in school and as the co-director of the student SOS-Society of Separationists group. Normally I went after questions of infalibilty, which just concerns looking for places in arguments where more knowledge is asserted than can be honestly 'known'. One can say the most amazing things, but knowing the necessary truth behind is not always possible. Belief or metaphysical commitments can allow one to jump that curvase without a bridge.
I share with you, and many here, a commitment to the 'sacredness' of logic, honesty, freedom, etc. These to me are mostly beyond reproach, but for others these as just used to validate or are in service to other metaphysical commitments. We would like certainty, but can't aways have it, others have certainty when they don't yet deserve it. The theist apologists, commentary writers, theologions, are attempting to build a bridge to logical certainty, but mostly have spit and bailing wire for building material, if that.
I think the theists know about, down deep, they don't have logical certainty, and it scares them. Suppressing the 'questions', 'alternative hypothesis', 'natural world evidence', or creating legal constructs that can control these and their promoters, is what remains when their 'bridge' is under inspection. In short, the bad contractor has gotten money, but the bridge is in cost over-runs, and the completion date is 2000 years overdue.
We do not yet have the numbers to mount a significant political challenge to the bad contractor/theists, but as I see it, the stones are being removed from the foundation, and the edifice can not last forever.
Till then we just do our job, live with the nuttyness the best we can, and try to have a great trip! LOL
If they don't extend the same tolerance, they're not going to have a light-bulb-moment of "Oh how nice these people are! I guess we won't take advantage of their stupidity!" They will take advantage; it's the chink in our armor. Our strength (compassion) can also be our weakness is we're not vigilant.
Most people don't understand this at all. Excellent post indeed.
I posted this earlier but is relevant here to. Greta Christina.
I can tolerate intolerance when they keep it to themselves. Like the whole gay marriage thing... it shouldn't be an issue at all.
If you don't agree with gay marriage, don't be gay and definitely don't try to get married.
If you don't agree with abortion, don't have an abortion.
I don't agree with bigotry, so I am not a bigot. See how simple it is?
If she can't deal with others expressing their opinions then she shouldn't express hers. I've found that with people like this that it will get you further if you point out the inconsistencies and contradictions within the bible rather than outright attack. But your right in that blasting them is sometimes the only way to go!!
Why tolerate the intolerant?
I'm always asking this. I partly blame weak atheists who pussyfoot the subject of religion, and can't stop babbling about respect and whatnot. "Oh respect his opinion at least," or "respect the person and their beliefs."
No. I don't respect either. They're delusional vermin to me. Pure fucking idiots, each and every one of them. Secular and moderate ones included, because they give the fundamentals credibility. They're just as much to blame, there is no excuse.
Everytime people spout the shit that we need to be respectful towards them they're just encouraging the idea that religion is somehow anything short of a disgusting, dangerous ideology. People act like it's a choice of music or favorite movie rather than a virus of the mind.
No matter what place and time, any religion, any religious figure, any religious person should be ridiculed. The moment someone says "I'm a christian/muslim/jew/hindu" they should be laughed out of the room.
I don't know at what minute he's making the point because I'm at work, but here is a piece of Stanhope.
He's making the point that anyone who believes in religion should just plummet in your eyes.
Intolerance indicates lower cognitive functioning in social and moral development. That is what actual science says at least. Intolerant people demonstrate the same stubbornness and close-mindedness that they accuse their opponents of practicing.
It is the intolerant among the religious that cause the problems in the world, and it is only due to intolerance that we have social problems in our world of any kind. It is like blaming Gollum when you should be blaming the damn ring. The "ring" is not religion. It is intolerance. Intolerance should be hated more than religion for what it has done to our world.
It has corrupted religion. It has corrupted philosophy. It has corrupted everything it touches and it is not necessary. The perpetuation of intolerance is nonsense. Bizarre nonsense. Because as long as you perpetuate intolerance among the intelligent, you perpetuate it among the stupid as well. And there are many more stupid people than intelligent ones out there.
It is an outdated, ineffective and dangerous social protection mechanism that just needs to die!
See these are the kind of weak atheists I mean. The ones who claim "religion is good, it's the people who corrupted it."
You'd make a damn fine preacher, you know that? For a moment there I thought you were going to start babbling about how we're all unworthy of the lord because we're sinners.
Lol, see what I mean. The intolerant then start trying to use ad hominem. See how he actually does not deal with the argument, but continues to intolerantly ridicule, not realizing he is wrong? Textbook example.
Now you see who is the truly weak one.

Escape to the Movies: Gangster Squad
Pages 1 2 3 NEXT
MovieBob gives us an inside look into
The trailers look......generic, to say the least.
They cut the entire movie theater scene? I thought they were just putting off the release until everything calmed down. Ugh, I wanted this to be good because I love this genre and I'm really disappointed it's a dud.
The most dramatic part of the whole movie is the one part they didn't have the balls to show.
But heaven forbid they don't include that scene in literally every trailer they air on television.
You know whats cool? Going into the Hobbit wondering when the hell that 'Monsterpocalypse' movie is gonna come out and not 30 seconds later seeing 'Pacific Rims' trailer, AND THEN seeing that Idris Elba's going to be in it... good times.
Once again, I notice it. When Bob gets worked up, his accent comes to light. Damn, I had a friend that really wanted to see this too. Oh well, he probably won't mind as his taste in movies is a bit on the "Blow shit up" side.
I was hoping for a surprise. My thoughts on seeing the trailer were, "Hey. That looks like it could be interesting" followed by, "Why is it coming out in January?" I was hoping Bob would tell me it was an exception to movie release scheduling.
You still don't get it Bob, you didn't get flak for hating the Expendables, you got it for pretty much insulting the audience by calling them meatheads and calling those who went to see it instead of Scott Pilgrim "sheep". And you got it once again after your review of Expendables 2 by failing to acknowlegde your mistake of insulting the audience and simply believed you got hate just for hating the 1st film
{Warning random guessing that could result in an unknown spoiler of Gangster Squad}
{Again Don't take the above to be a spoiler or not I haven't seen the film I could of fluke'd into being right I don't have a clue.}
I'm kinda surprised no one's tried to link that unfortunate event with Inglorious Basterds now that I think about. It wasn't to long ago.
I was really hoping that Gangster Squad would be 2013's The Grey. A surprisingly good January movie that tides us over until March. Looking at the other movies coming out in January (Hansel and Gretel, The Last Stand, Broken City, etc.) it doesn't look like there will be any really good movies for a while.
I'm actually certain that was the case given how prevalent the scene was in the hype.
Silly Lucane, you know shootings in movie theaters only matter when the victims are American ~_~
Well, he does have a point. Most moviegoers are sheep - sheep who would rather watch bland, completely uncreative garbage over genuinely good, inventive films. As for the "meathead" thing, he was basically only saying that people who think the brainless, idiotic action movies of old - which The Expendables is supposed to be a throwback to - are better than the much more intelligent, well-written and well-acted action films of today (y'know, like Scott Pilgrim) are meatheads. And he wasn't wrong about that, either ...
With a name like "Gangster Squad" I never expected anything good, even with the cast. Seriously, Gangster Squad? What a terrible title.
When I saw the trailer, even knowing that this movie was coming out, I saw Ryan Gosling's character and immediately thought that this was supposed to be LA Noire.
Seriously, Gosling in the suit & hat is a dead ringer for Cole Phelps. He even romances the glamorous girl for no goddamn good reason.
Oh you're right, silly me indeed.
But if that's the only qualifier then you'd think a lot more locations would be off limits in media though I guess there's an un-written grace period till you can do something similar to real life tragedies(even if it's not directly inspired by it) and Gangster Squad just came along a touch to late and way to soon at the same time.
This is a silly question, but in all the trailers all the faces look a bit CGI'd to me. Is there a reason for this or am I so involved with videogames I've lost my ability to recognise the real world?
I only know of Nick Nolte because Rifftrax/MST3K make fun of him all the time.
I know what you mean about Pacific Rim. Movie looks so damn cool I can hardly wait. I don't often go to theaters. I prefer DVD/Blu Ray for a variety of reasons. But I'll be there for that one.
I don't know if you care or not, but this actually made me laugh out loud. So, you know, thanks for that. :)
I'm sorry, but did you say 30 Minutes or Less wasn't good?
On an unrelated note some good things do come out in the beginning of the year. The Grey and Chronicle were both pre-March.
Can't tell but it might have been "enhanced" a la 300 or Sin City, but to a lesser extent than those blatant examples. A lot of times a significant amount of work goes into cinematography and lighting, and then is polished even more in post-production to create a subtle level of sur-reality, but it often goes unnoticed unless it's heavy-handed like the aforementioned. See also: Scott Pilgrim
So, a gang of badass LA cops who go off the grid and straight-up murder the bad guys in pursuit of the greater good. I liked that idea better the last time, when it was The Shield.
A-fucking-men. And seriously anyone who still has a chip on their shoulder about that after TWO YEARS: seek help, you need it.
Anyway, kinda sucks how this turned out to be mediocre. I'm always up for a good gangster flick. Also, January is the dead zone for games as well. Literally nothing besides Anarchy Reigns looks remotely interesting.
I wonder if Bob liked Blankman. Jon Polito was in that.
This is nonsense. I like intelligent, well-written, well-acted movies, but Scott Pilgrim just didn't appeal to me. I saw The Expendables and enjoyed it, and then Bob insulted me for having the gall to hold an opinion contrary to his own.
He also later talked about "At the Mountains of Madness", and personally put blame for its cancellation on anyone involved in geek culture who didn't put money into Scott Pilgrim. Even if there's a cause-and-effect there, I still don't want to put money into a movie I don't enjoy.
bob, when did this turn into a trailer show? there was a lot more trailer footage without your lovely voice talking over it than usual, was the movie really that uninteresting?
So, we have 2 months of Movie Bob being able to review basically whatever the hell he wants. Might as well go with B movies, I'm sure it would be more entertaining. I want to hear Jesus Christ Vampire Hunter reviewed by a critic.
For a movie that talks so much about betrayal, the screenwriter didn't seem to understand how it works. Here's how you get a major character to feel betrayed: have somebody the major character trusts implicitly do something the major character doesn't want them to. This literally never happens in Gangster Squad.
The girl who's deathly afraid of the main gangster and keeps sleeping with him even though she's also banging one of the good guys? Unshakably noble. The unknown Latino guy who joins up just because he overheard the good guys' plans? A rock. The informant Gosling literally has a warrant for who's seen hanging out with the main bad guy and only stands to gain from selling him out? Suicidally dedicated to his friends in the face of a man who literally ripped a guy in half.
Hats off to whoever made that trailer though. Those things are an under-appreciated art form all their own.
You know what I want? I want a movie where Nick Nolte stars alongside Tom Waits. If you thought Christian Bale's Batman talking to Tom Hardy's Bane was illegible, just imagine those two having a conversation!
You can do that? Wouldn't we have live in some fucked up, orwellian government with no respect for people's individuality for you do that?
Well, at least Jon Polito is in it.
Well that's a shame. I was really looking forward to this movie as I haven't seen a good gangster movie in a long time. I'll probably still watch it myself but I usually trust your opinion on these things.
Loved the tag at the end, Bugsy Malone is great. Just made my GF sit threw it a few weeks ago... she felt differently.
BOB! Bob, Bob listen to me, are you listening? Because you need to be listening. The reason why people get on you for the expendables review is because YOU ARE HYPERBOLIC IN YOUR REVIEWS, of the expendables franchise at least. With the first movie you were almost decrying its popularity as the end of fucking civilization, the second movie, aside from being hyperbolic, you just called all the characters different names as it related to them from other movies, which isn't funny, that kind of thing has never been funny, it is a shallow attempt at humor, it is less of a low hanging fruit, and more of a piece of fruit that's been lying on the ground for several weeks and is now infested with worms. Please get this through your head, it wasn't because you gave them a bad review, it's your hyperbole, no one likes straight faced accidental hyperbole.
Basically it's one of those "wait for the Blu-Ray UNCUT edition" movies I guess... But by then we all might have our attention elsewhere...
I was going to say rewatch Public Enemies as it's recent then I checked and it came out over 3 years ago :| time really does fly doesn't it.
So instead go watch Broadwalk Empire season 3 (or at least the last episode) instead for gangster action.

It's been 15 years since I have voted in Berlin and it was confirmed this week nothing has changed. It was charming and embarrassing at the same time. It reminded me of how we cast a ballot for class president back in high school. There's no disputing Berlin has an archaic way of voting. For those who don't know, we Berliners go to our designated polling place and are given a typed piece of paper, given a pen to check our candidate of choice and fold the ballot and insert it into a cardboard box marked with the respective district. It's laughable how "old school" it is, but the system does appear to serve the town just fine. Until voter turnout increases and more than 808 people vote, it will probably do just fine. It's also worth pointing out it's extremely cheap, and that's an important thing for the town.
Gee Williams became Berlin's official mayor on Tuesday, losing the interim designation with his victory over former Mayor Rex Hailey by a count of 470-329. The former councilman received 58 percent of the votes cast and won three of the four districts. His victory leaves his District 1 council seat vacant. The town is planning a special election for mid-December to elect his replacement. Historically, special elections have pathetic turnouts. Considering 230 people in District 1 voted in Tuesday's election, one of the more anticipated in recent years, logic dictates less people will turn out, particularly considering the presidential election is coming up in a few weeks. It's a shame, but it's true that it's a lot to ask people to vote three times in three months. That's exactly what District 1 voters will be asked to do if plans proceed for the Dec. 16 special election.
This week's story on the county's registered voters confirmed once again that the Republican Party is growing at a faster clip than the Democratic Party as far as Worcester County goes. Over the last 20 years, the number of registered Republicans has soared from 5,828 in 1988 to 14,390 in 2008. Conversely, the Democratic rolls have increased from 11,474 in 1988 to 16,793 in 2008. Whether all this actually matters is unclear because the county traditionally votes Republican in nearly all contested elections, from the presidential to the County Commission level. For example, five of the seven current County Commissioners are Republican. It's unknown whether this tendency to learn toward the right is a result of the Democrats not turning out to vote, simply those registered Democrats having more in common with GOP candidates or the largely conservative community of Ocean Pines controlling the vote. It's likely a combination of all of these.
It's remarkable how often the topic of slots surfaces these days, but this week's story details exactly how much money is exchanging hands by both sides to win their cause. It was noteworthy that a number of local businesses have partnered to donate thousands of dollars to the anti-slots camp. With so much money in play, a lot of mischaracterizations are being bantered about. That's to be expected and even understandable from a political science viewpoint. Chief among the misnomers being thrown about is that slots are needed to save education. In an online message to Marylanders the day the Board of Public Works approved his suggested $345 million in budget cuts, Gov. Martin O'Malley joined the rhetorical battle. "More Maryland students than ever before are moving out of temporary learning shacks and into state-of-the-art classrooms, thanks to an historic investment in school construction and K-12 education. With the passage of the slots referendum in November, and an ongoing commitment to fiscal responsibility, we can fulfill our obligation to Maryland's children for years to come," he said.

Green Cage by Jonathan Gibb
Jonathan Gibb Reveals The Green Cage Residential Residence
Jonathan Gibb, the maker of the displayed design Award Winning Green Cage Residential Residence explicates, The design intent was to look at a residential and pottery / art studio insertion to a vacant inner city lot, surrounded by a motley crew of industrial buildings. The concept evolved into designing an oasis, abundant with nature within such a concrete and brick clad environ for the interface of Architecture to the intimacy of a garden. The concept of the Green Cage is a contained ideal of the greening of one's own backyard. In-short, a blurring of the boundary between the landscape and building through a sharing of space. The greening of the physical and mental scape: The Green Cage..

After Jenny "Lang" Pings departure, Hugh Mccutcheon just accepted the offer to become the new coach of USA Women's Team from 2009 to 2012. No announcement made though on whoever will take on the Men's Team.
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (Dec. 15, 2008) - Less than four months after leading the U.S. Men's Olympic Volleyball Team to a gold medal at the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing, Hugh McCutcheon (Christchurch, New Zealand) has accepted the head coach position of the U.S. Women's National Team for the 2009-2012 Olympic quadrennial, according to USA Volleyball Chief Executive Officer Doug Beal.
"This is a great opportunity for me to further develop professionally. I'm excited by the challenges this change presents, and I'm optimistic that some of the knowledge we've acquired with the men's program can translate to the women," McCutcheon said in regards to changing roles to the U.S. Women's National Team. "There will be differences in systems and aspects of developing team culture but, at the end of the day, the fundamental principles of volleyball are not gender-specific."
"Hugh proved throughout the past quadrennial his abilities as a great coach, motivator and program manager," Beal said. "The direction he provided allowed our men to steadily climb into position to be champions. Rarely has a team been so good so often under such intense pressure as they were in Beijing. I look forward to him bringing his talents, abilities, personality and philosophy to our women's program! USA Volleyball is indeed fortunate and pleased to be able to retain Hugh within our national team structure."
Beal notes this is not an uncommon situation in international or professional volleyball. There are many examples of coaches moving from one gender to the other, most notably Jose Roberto Guimaraes (Ze Roberto), who led the Brazilian men's team to the gold medal at the 1992 Olympic Games, and matched that success by leading the Brazilian women to the gold medal in Beijing.
"Successful coaches are successful coaches," Beal said. "I have every confidence that Hugh can learn the differences that surely exist between genders and apply his philosophy to our women's team in a positive way."
Lindsey Berg (Honolulu), a two-time Olympian with the U.S. Women's National Team and silver medalist at the 2008 Olympic Games, described McCutcheon as a great fit for the program.
"Personally, I am absolutely thrilled Hugh has accepted the position to lead our team," Berg said. "He will be able to help us take a huge step forward in making change within our program in a very positive way. This will be a great opportunity for our team to work under a different set of philosophies. Hugh will be able to bring in fresh and new ideas for us to build upon by bringing in aspects from the men's game, including how we train and compete on the court. Overall, this is a great coaching move and change for our program, and it is going to be exciting."
As the head coach of the U.S. Men's National Team at the 2008 Olympic Games, McCutcheon, 39, and Team USA went undefeated in Beijing to claim its third Olympic Games gold medal and its first podium finish since 1992. He leaves the U.S. Men's National Team program with a 107-33 overall record in four years and Team USA ranked second in the current FIVB World Ranking, its highest ranking ever.
The U.S. enjoyed one of its best seasons ever in 2008 under McCutcheon's guidance as the team won all three of its major tournaments of the year. Team USA secured its first-ever FIVB World League championship in July 2008 after a bronze medal finish in the same event in 2007, the first time the Americans earned back-to-back medals in the annual event. The U.S. started the 2008 campaign in dominating fashion by sweeping all five matches at the NORCECA Men's Continental Olympic Qualifier to earn its berth in the 2008 Olympics.
"(Hugh) meant everything to our team," U.S. Men's National Team libero Rich Lambourne (Tustin, Calif.) said. "He was the mastermind of what we were trying to do. He was the one who clearly focused our goal and got it written down and set out a plan for how to get us there. In 2005, when we started the quad, the idea that we would be gold medalists was pretty comical. It seemed so far away. It's a huge credit to him that he kept us on that track and had in mind a way to actually accomplish that."
McCutcheon, hired as an assistant coach for the U.S. Men's National Team in April 2003, assisted the Americans to a fourth-place finish at the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens after the squad failed to win a single match at the 2000 Olympic Games. He was elevated to head coach of the U.S. Men's National Team in February 2005 after Beal moved from his coaching role into the position of CEO.
The U.S. Women's National Team also enjoyed remarkable success at the 2008 Olympic Games under head coach "Jenny" Lang Ping, who elected not to seek a contract renewal for the upcoming quadrennial. Using a roster of eight Olympic Games veterans, Team USA earned its first medal since the 1992 Olympic Games and finished with the silver medal falling to top-ranked Brazil in the championship match. The U.S. finished second in its group including a victory over host China, then went on to defeat second-ranked Italy in the quarterfinals and third-ranked Cuba in the semifinals. The Americans were the only team to take a set away from Brazil throughout the Olympics.
"Jenny proved once again why she ranks among the very top of the elite international coaches by leading the U.S. Women to the Olympic Games silver medal in her home country under very difficult conditions," Beal said. "She deserves a huge amount of credit for the team's medal performance."
Beal indicated that now is the time to build the sport across a broad range of platforms based on the achievements earned during the 2008 Olympics.
"The objective for all USA Volleyball programs is to maintain the remarkable success from Beijing, while at the same time, working to grow the profile of our sport as significantly and widely as possible," Beal said. "This will be very challenging as both the U.S. and the world head into a period of uncertain economic times. Hugh is very aware of our goals as an organization, and I am confident that in his new role, he will be in a position to contribute to them significantly."
McCutcheon was not a stranger to USA Volleyball prior to landing his first job with the U.S. Men's National Team. He served as a volunteer assistant coach for the men's national team helping out during the 2001 FIVB World League, the 2002 FIVB World Championship and five international tours. He has also served as the head coach of the U.S. Boys' Youth National Team in 2000 and 2001.
According to Beal, USA Volleyball does not have a set timetable to fill the now-vacated U.S. Men's National Team head coach position other than taking the necessary time to find the most qualified person.

Discussion in 'Shiny Things' started by RC Pilot, Apr 15, 2009.
Any other radio control nuts out there?
my wife controls my nuts by remote control but i don't think she uses radio. i'll ask her.
My nuts are out of control...
I am.... sorta...
I don't have much anymore, I used to have a whole bunch of RC 1/10 electric cars, a .60 size nitro helicopter with JR 10s remote, I have a Zagi flying wing somewhere in storage... I still have an RC10 B3 team kit.... and some old Tamiya hard body electric RC car....
I used to work at a hobby shop back in 1999/2000, during my senior year of high school.... a lot of money made there was put right back into the shop
I have thought about getting back into the RC world- as soon as I am "settled" but that may be a few years...
There are lots of nify things out there nowadays huh!
The current stable, but does not show the plane or boat.
Dood, that's like a KLR's worth on the wall.
Not quite, but I do have a few of them up for sale and would like to add a used DS to my garage.
I've got a raptor 50, Trex500, Trex450, MCX, CX2, AX-10 crawler highly modified, vapor, trojan, pz corsair, estarter, ember and lots of spare parts and junk hangin around..alot tied up in that hobby.
im startin to actually think i have a hobby collecting hobbies though.
used to be.
after enough of these:
i gave it up.
<object width="640" height="480">
<embed src="https://cdn.smugmug.com/ria/ShizVidz-2008120101.swf" flashvars="s=aT00OTkxMDQ1OTcmaz13ZGQ0ciZhPTY3OTE3NjJfV0d5aTUmZT0x" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" width="640" height="480"></object>
I love that little plane.
is that a windstar EP? I have one that looks just like that!. and one brand new in the box yet.
I've been into RC stuff since a kid. Haven't really done much with them in the past 10-15 years.
The collection over the years;
Kyosho Pajaro .10cc
Tamiya Midnight Pumpkin
Tamiya Hot Shot II
Tamiya Astute
Tamiya Grasshopper II
Associated RC-12L
Tamiya Bruiser
Tamiya HKS Opel Vectra
Kyosho Concept 30 SR Helicopter
Unknown 2 Meter Glider
Hobbico .45cc Trainer
I thinking about trying to sell all of my old stuff.
What's this one?
I´ve still got about twelve fully functional electric airplanes in my basement that I haven´t flown for years...and two that I haven´t even gotten around to assembling yet...how was I supposed to know that motorcycling uses up such a lot of time on warm, sunny days? Why didn´t anybody warn me??
Thanks for starting that thread, reminds me I really ought to get back into my old hobby a bit. All that stuff is quietly starting to go to waste, epecially the batteries.
I, too, have got too many hobbies...motorcycling, bicycling, R/C airplanes, archery, reading most of all :huh
try the parkzone trojan. ive ripped mine completely in half before and was back in the air in around 20 min. easy to repair. the only problem i have with the trojan is the stock radio, ive seen a few that glitch in mid flight. mine was spektrumized before its maiden..
it was a "Whisper" rtf. two channel. the pieces are still on my worksbench.
i had several others. gave them all to my kid. he loves to fly the stuff.
i had better luck with the "air hogs" planes. simple. nearly indestructable. and CHEAP. got 'em on clearance at a Target store. 20 bucks ready to fly.

Sounds like the Runaways comic might actually get immortalized on the big screen, since Marvel is finally looking at a director. The spawn-of-supervillains epic has the makings of a high-energy super-powered teen action flick, with an angsty John Hughes twist.
According to Deadline Marvel wants Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist director, Peter Sollett, to adapt the tortured but amazing Runaways graphic novels. Which sounds like a good fit, since Sollett has experience telling the stories of teenagers in a realistic fashion.
Brian K. Vaughn's Runaways series follows the children of a super-powered crime ring that has total control over L.A. Ashamed of their parents' evil ways, the kids run away from home before eventually confronting their parents. But even this confrontation doesn't free the teens from living in the shadows of their parents' mistakes.
Let's hope the excitement surrounding the Scott Pilgrim film lights a fire under this production. We're also curious as to how they will bring to life Old Lace, the dinosaur who has a telepathic and empathic bond with Gert, who's one of our favorite purple-haired characters of all time.

If you're searching for the biggest and most hardcore free adult tube site then Tube8.com should be on the top of your list. Tube8 has a distinctive design and feel to it, as with other members of the Pornhub network it offers free streaming movies and downloads and gives registered users the ability to upload their own content and homemade porn movies.
But you're obviously here for the hardcore content…in Tube8.com you can expect to have a huge library filled with all the content you could hope to find in one spot, don't let the professional design fool you, the content is available for you in various formats from category to newest clips or simply by length of video if you have a lot of time on your hands.
Tube8.com really went out of their way to make this porn tube as personalized as possible. I suggest you explore the blog, live girls or the new Tag area to find what it is you're seeking. You can get the full Tube8 experience by registering a free user account, then start building a library of favorites, comment and rate on the porno videos you just pleasured yourself to and download whichever ones you want to as well. The good news here is that there is no limit to how many you can download using your account. That's like being given the keys to the candy store after hours and told to go nuts on your sugar rush.
Another perk you should know about is that any content you personally want to avoid, whatever your reason for avoiding it is, is made avoidable by using a content filter, so whatever your choice of porn: Gay, Straight or Trans you'll get that and only that if you so wish. Personally nothing turns off a horny user faster than content that is not titillating to the senses, wouldn't you agree? I'm sold on the site for the sheer multitude of options available to the user but that will be for you to decide when you're inside enjoying the content.

We'll probably get yelled at for even linking to this, but we were so shocked by it that we decided to share our bemused outrage with you. We know all about the weird pseudo-racist underbelly of the Interweb, so we suppose it was just a matter of time until it made its way into sports. We, with much inner conflict, present to you Caste Football, a pretty blatantly bigoted "sports" site focusing on the lack of white athletes in today's sport.
Yep. According to the site, the industrial sports complex is prejudiced against the white athlete, keeping them down, forcing them into such demeaning positions like management and ownership. Yeah, that sounds kind of funny, but there's actually some real nasty shit here. To wit, from a column previewing the baseball playoffs:
"After a summer of non-stop hype over hispanic players it's time for the teams that have built mostly white ballclubs to take their winning records into the playoffs."
"Why is it that mostly white teams are the most successful? Perhaps it's because white athletes, like white people in general, are more able to see the advantages of self-sacrifice in the short term in order to achieve success in the long term."
"Fortunately the Yankees and the Angels are playing each other and one of the two least white friendly teams will be immediately eliminated."
We were going to point out their firm assertion that Billy Beane wrote Moneyball was the most intelligent thing on their page, but, frankly, we don't have the stomach for much more of any of it. We formally apologize for this post.

Games of E3
Pages 1 2 NEXT
The Escapist's handy guide to every game we saw at E3 2011.
Nothing about Sword of the Stars 2? 0_o
No Christmas card to you then.
But good work so far.
It's a work in progress. Hopefully, we can still earn your Xmas card!
This is an epic level feature Escapist staff! Keep up the great work! Also for the record you've changed my mind about Bioshock: Infinite. I may keep an eye on that one...
I was hoping for a concise, one page listing. Oh well.
This is exactly the kind of list I was looking for. There will be more, right? I didn't see Overstrike and a few others on the list.
Yeah, 43 pages is too much.
tl;dr needs table of contents on the first page so we don't have to go through each page to just see the different titles.
As far as I know, Call of Duty: Elite is not a game.
I find is supremely sad that out of the 43 games (at the time I'm typing this), there are only three original IPs.
I mean, for fuck's sake, almost every game is either a sequel to a game we already knew was happening, a spinoff of one of the main franchises, or a reboot/revival of a franchise lost in time. Not saying that these games don't look good, but c'mon. It's either a number, a subtitle, or a number and subtitle in these games. I mean, even the downloadable game (Zombie Apocalypse 2) is a sequel! Was last year's E3 like this, 'cause I don't quite remember it like this...
Still, thanks for condensing them all into an article. Read up on some previews I didn't catch on the info dump that is E3. Looks like a helluvah year for games, that's for sure.
I agree completely. Really guys, we need some new stuff. No more Call of Halo Fable Dutyfield Kart 13.
Didn't they say "starhawk" was also a sequel to "warhawk"?
Oh well, they're only sequels. So long as quality keeps up, I don't care much.
Thank you for the reminder, I'd completely forgotten about that.
Yeah, I know, but that doesn't mean I have to like it! It just seems that this year is covering overwhelmingly more old IPs than more unique IPs. I could have sworn more original IPs were covered last year. Or maybe I'm mixing that up with PAX.
More of a "spiritual sequel", but shut up! Don't make it even sadder than it is now :<
I'm getting a 404 error when trying to view the article.
Yeah, not sure why that was, but it's fixed now.
It's on its way. E3 is over but our coverage isn't. Expect more previews, photo galleries and our top picks of the show early next week.
They forgot to put in Insomniac's new IP, by the way (really, Escapist? 4-player, high-tech, black ops Insomniac IP, and you forgot?! I am disappoint). Hopefully that cheers you up; it sure made my day! :D
I don't think that was available on the floor, it was only an announcement after all.
But still, yes, by god if it is everything that I think it is I want it NAO!
If those count, add Dark Souls to the list. Bamco and From have been very insistent that it's not a sequel (even though it totally is). Pretty sure Kingdoms of Amalur is an original IP too.
Also, were Gravity Daze and Dragon's Crown shown off at E3? I figured they'd be there with the PSV announcement but they weren't covered on this site.
I was going off what this list was having, but yes, Dark Souls looks great.
Ah, sorry, I just assumed it was there. Haven't gone through all the pages yet.
It IS one for us Publisher's Clubbers ^_^
Sorry mate
Is this just an issue for me or are you guys getting some very interesting results from the 'next' button. I thought 37 was after 36 but no, apparently 34 is (just an example. Often the next button sends you back two pages).
Ok guys (and girls). Now this is just getting silly.
Ghost Recon looks/sounds like it's just a mesh of existing shooters. A bit like Crysis without the characteristic suit.
Tomb Rider's rendered environments look fantastic, at the beginning I was confused whether I misclicked and was watching a live action adaptation. But then I saw Lara...
Metro stays ominous, but I guess that's part of the appeal. The first game was very solid, cheesy sometimes, but immersive when it needed to be. I have a good feeling about this one, tho there's always space to improve AND screw up. Will wait for reviews.
Prototype 2 looks/sounds/reads like a big gamble. Not sure if want, will definitely wait until more concrete details about the gameplay and story are released. It seems a bit like the Publisher was enforcing the sequel hook and the devs don't really know what to do now.
Rayman: Origins is yet another remake of the original series (I once got a cheap Collector's edition that contained like 3 remakes or add-ons or something of the original game, all official of course), which is boring, but it looks like a fun jump'n'run altogether. I'll wait for reviews tho, despite my nostalgia glasses. The rabbit minigames kinda killed the franchise for me. Optional minigames ála Rayman 3 are okay, but I need a good campaign.
Rest looks uninteresting to me, personally. Infinite looks like it'll try to merge BioShock 2 and 1 with a bit more character-driven story and a different setting, but I think BioShock 1 is all I needed - so unless the gameplay is AMAZING I'll probably stay away from it. Same goes for most of the long-running franchises listed that have found their spot and probably won't move from it, so they're mostly unattractive for me (either because I don't think more of the same I liked is necessary or because I already know this and that franchise just isn't for me).
So yeah, looks quite bleak to me. I'll probably get Human Revolutions tho, looks well put together and the reviews of the "unofficial demo" were decent. Not a must-buy for me tho.
That should be fixed, and I agree that it was silly.
Disappointing, no mention of Torchlight 2.
I couldn't help but notice that the entire top 2/3 of the page were sequels or reboots (bar 2 games). The last bit reassured me a little that creativity hasn't vanished from the world.
Journey looks as incredible as it did when I first saw it previewed, that is one indie development I can't wait to acquire
We didn't forget. These writeups cover games we actually saw in demonstration. We didn't include small glimpses shown in press conferences.
Then my sincerest apologies for my misinterpretation.
At any rate, I feel a similar sense of dissatisfaction with lack of variety in the lineup. Hopefully next year's demonstrations will prove more enticing than this years.
I guess World of Tanks were just not seen. Strange as they won the best booth award and had actual tanks parked outside :D

The Python programming language has been updated to reach version 3.2 and is now available for general release. New improvements center around work to improve and stabilize the current 3.x line of this interpreted high-level programming language. From this point, the 2.x line of Python will only receive bug fixes as new features will be developed for 3.x only.
There are (as expected) no changes in Python's syntax and only a few changes to built-in types in Python 3.2. The Python website reports that development efforts concentrated on the standard library and support for porting code to Python 3.
The most noteworthy developments brought forward in Python 3.2 concentrate on the language's built-in modules. Specifically, the unittest module has received attention, as this is the component that enables unit test building to be carried out efficiently. There has also been considerable effort directed towards the sysconfig, email, and ssl modules, where these elements needed compatibility improvements so that they more closely matched the wider features of Python 3.1 as a whole.
According to the Python website, "In the past, extension modules built for one Python version were often not usable with other Python versions. Particularly on Windows, every feature release of Python required rebuilding all extension modules that one wanted to use. This requirement was the result of the free access to Python interpreter internals that extension modules could use. With Python 3.2, an alternative approach becomes available: extension modules which restrict themselves to a limited API (by defining Py_LIMITED_API) cannot use many of the internals, but are constrained to a set of API functions that are promised to be stable for several releases. As a consequence, extension modules built for 3.2 in that mode will also work with 3.3, 3.4, and so on."
In terms of implementation and usage, Python enjoys deployment across a wide range of environments (particularly embedded systems for example), and is compatible with most modern operating systems with the use of interpreters.

The tool is at https://tourbuilder.withgoogle.com/
Firstly, a little shout for joy is in order: YESSSSSSSSSSSSS! It looks good.
Some History: A week before I saw it I was trying to get a funding bid accepted to build pretty much what this is, and I've been banging on about the need for it for years. Other's have had a go at this (see previous post) but nothing has come close to filling the need IMHO so well done whoever 'withgoogle.com' is.
Educational Uses: I get students to produce Google Earth tours on two courses, I think as an assignment it really works, I've showcased an example of a student's work previously and I think its such a neat teaching tool that I gathered some thoughts from colleagues on the idea (under 'Space stories') at a conference this summer.
What GETB does: Previously you could record a Google Earth tour in Google Earth but if you wanted to edit it, you had to get into the KML code. Also, fiddling around with lots of elements in the places column was tedious and you ran out of space quickly. With this tool you can define a series of locations and then upload images, compose text or link to videos related to each location. You do it 'in the cloud' as your tour is saved in a location related to your Google account so to edit, you must be online but you have the advantage that you can access your tours from any online machine.
Once you've created a tour, you can edit the sequence of location by simple drag and drop. The interface is very clean (inheriting look and style from Google's standard interface design) and its very intuitive.
Nice Touches:
- Rocket path: When flying from low location to a distant far location the path loops high following the rocket path rather than staying close to the ground surface (crow path). More detail under best practice 13 here. Nice to think someone reads this blog :)
- Hidden Titles: I also liked the way the control column hides the location's title unless rolled over with the mouse.
- Streetview: drop a location in streetview and the tour will use streetview when played.
- Slide Metaphor: Google Earth tours in Google Earth play via a VCR controller. GETB uses a slide metaphor which is easier to understand and navigate when playing a tour IMHO. It also makes editing easier.
- Import KML: This feature allows more advanced features to be associated with a location (e.g. polygon annotation) but the complexity that goes with this is hidden from most users. One of the problems with the earlier attempt at a tour editor Google Earth Studio was that the complexity was visible to all and was overwhelming for users who just wanted to do something simple.
Missing Features:
- Audio: With so much going on visually in a tour, its best to deliver the narration via audio, which you can do with Google Earth tours. More details. I'd suggest this is an important feature to add.
- Overlays: A powerful feature of tours is to be able to incorporate ground overlays in the main screen. At the moment you can add polygons and lines by importing KML but it won't import KMZ's which would allow overlay imports. E.g. a screenshot of OpenStreetMap which would be far less visually complex as a base map than the standard satellite view of Google Earth.
- Tutorials and support? It's nice and straightforward but help files would really open up its use to a wider audience and GETB is definitely suitable for non-techies.
Overall, brilliant. I will be using with my students ASAP

Holy Dogdoddles Batman.
I was tired of having my arse handed to me on a plate over the last week in Battlegrounds…
Did you know you can purchase nearly all of the Wrathful PvP gear with honor alone?
Any gear that requires 1800 or less less than 2,000 rating can now be purchased with honor, no rating required.
At 1st glance this seems like cheating… and well, I guess it kind of is, except for…
… the fact that the game is so unbalanced at the moment anyway.
They have buffed resilience because we are all so OP, so if you don't have it, or just have non-Arena-rating levels, you are butter to the Wrathful Gladiator's hot knives.
And ohhh boy are those knives hot!
Arena season has ended… all these arena geared psychos with nothing warm-blooded to kill… but…
… Rated BGs will be here soon…
… might as well go slice some Relentless and Furious players into little pieces, then spread them all over the Battlegrounds.
So, if you have been spread all over a battleground lately and have any honor in the "bank", pop down to the Arena vendors in the sewers for the set pieces, weapons and off-hands, and of course the vendors in Stormwind or Orgrimmar for the off-set pieces.
Spend that apparently small amount of honor you have, on all your Xmas presents now!
Right… I'm off… I've got some Horde that need to be taught a lesson or two about trying to spread resilient Gnomes.
Sun has just risen, I have just left the Raid from the Heart.. it was awesome!
Sleeping through 2 alarms didn't keep me from the event.
I want to make a special mention of a stranger that I bumped into yesterday on Kael'thas-US. It is literally the story of a "dog" (OK, Ghost wolf) following me home and me keeping him.
You know those times when you are rushing about only to discover someone following your (like I think he was literally on auto-follow). I'm incredibly happy that I didn't go the path of the Grumpy Gnome, because this Shaman, Paradoxz, turned out to be truly EPIC!
You see, our Alliance Rent-a-Port didn't appear… but Paradoxz had a nobler, more Magely side… yes he is a level 80 Mage.
He swapped over to Épíc (with the funny things over the E & I) and saved the day. Poor guy was a bit overwhelmed when we left the 'Span, don't know whether he will ever regain the courage to cast a Portal ever again. Some of his guildies & mates also rode shogun through the wetlands, leaving roadkill to either side of our path.
I was a bit surprised to discover that you don't eat your roadkill up north… but someone pointed out there was no need to eat roadkill while there were Gnomes to eat! This coming from the Alliance side…
So apart from the expected thanks to BBB, Cassie and all the other people that made this such a great event (I know there are quite a few of you, but don't know names, feel free to out yourselves), I'd like to give special thanks to Épíc for not just coming for the ride, but getting us all to where we needed to be.
That and something special for another post, where I show (Well, Epic provided the evidence) that BBB's fears of a NewMageOrder are well founded.
Ohh if you were at the event, and now have a harddisk full of screenshots, you can email them to BBB over the next week.
Remember to send you donations (come on you know you want to) to:
- American Heart Association
- Heart and Stroke Foundation (Canada)
- British Heart Foundation (UK based organization)
- National Heart Foundation of Australia
Also the store is still open…
As an additional option for donations, Tesh, the brilliant artist and author of the Tish Tosh Tesh game design blog, professional game artist and all around great guy has created several wonderful T-Shirt designs for the Raid from the Heart.
Gnomer and Out!

Nokia's CEO Stephen Elop came within a razor's edge of confirming rumors that Nokia is working on an Android phone.
When asked about it by Spanish newspaper El Pais, Elop answered (as translated from Spanish by Gizmodo):
"In the current ecosystem wars we are using Windows Phone as our weapon. But we are always thinking about what's coming next, what will be the role of HTML 5, Android... HTML5 could make the platform itself—being Android, Windows Phone or any other—irrelevant in the future, but it's still too soon [to tell]. Today we are committed and satisfied with Microsoft, but anything is possible."
When asked why Nokia remains committed to Windows exclusively (even though Microsoft also has Windows Phones made by Samsung and HTC) Elop said, "We have a privileged relationship with Microsoft."
That relationship may not be enough to save Nokia, amidst reports of slow Windows phone sales and rumors that Microsoft might build its own phone, just like it built its own tablet and PC.
Last month, reports circulated that Nokia could already be working on an Android phone when the company posted an employment ad for a Linux expert. Linux is at the heart of Android.

Cousins with 31 and 20....damn.
Cousins with 31 and 20....damn.
I worry a bit about how we match up with them, we'll have to wait and see. A lot of their offense comes from turnovers and we commit the least in the league so...
MVP thus far...
Seriously what is happening GSW getting buttraped by 38 points right now???
Paul basically dominated Stephon Curry
27 points, 10-12FG 5-63PT 9 assist, 0 turnovers, 5 rebounds, held Curry to 10 points on 11 shots.
Vasquez almost had a triple double and 30 points.
Aminu came from the deep bench and got the start and gave the Hornets a double double with some good help D...bastard, I waived him on fantasy for sucking. lol
That Clippers game definitely slapped back my opinion on CP3 not being aggressive... He didn't take a whole lot of shots but damn 5-6 3 point can't ignore that.
It's good to see since he had appeared to be shying away, and that Lakers game didn't impress me like it seemed to impress everyone else.
A few more games like this and CP3 definitely could lead the MVP race.
Boston took out a hot Atlanta team gotta be wary of them going into our mini series with them this month. When Rondo scores a couple of midrange jumpers he suddenly becomes scary as sh*t.
Houston keep on rolling too, Jeremy Lin didn't have a terrible game which made things easier on them.
Who on the Celtics is going to guard Melo? I know Celtic cult fans are high on Bradley who is a good defender, but beyond that they don't have any perimeter defenders that can stand a chance against Carmelo (who does anyway), but I expect Boston to get raped on the upcoming game.
Carmelo is currently at 29.3 PPG on 47% FG and 43% 3pt, I know these numbers will be hard to sustain, but I believe Carmelo is in his prime; he's perfected his jumpshot to the point he can make an shot anywhere on the court...similar to Dirk in his championship season.
With Melo leading the Knicks offense, I feel confident Knicks can come out the East as long as their rebounding and defense preforms.
Damian Lillard is gonna be the best PG in the NBA... Book it.
I knew I should of picked up McRoberts.
Portland has the worst bench in the NBA by far. Their starting 5 is strong and solid.
Wayne Ellington with 26 points in 26 minutes...jesus.
Rudy Gay continues to struggle...
Hornets have a lot of potential if they give their players time. Gordon is relatively young and they should keep him and take care of him. Tank now, get a good draft pick and just build of a core of Davis, Gordon, Vasquez, Lottery pick, Anderson, Lopez, and let go of Rivers...
I can't wait until the NBA trade deadline.
P Gasol
All of the Rocket's PF
Should all be on the tradeblock IMO

By COLLEEN LEDDY
If you have a child who's a picky eater, take my advice: Send him or her to Thailand. That's what it took for Maddie to completely get over years of a diet based largely on pizza and chicken nuggets—at least if she'd been left to her own devices.
Sure, she'd started eating things like veggie burgers and falafel sandwiches before she went to Thailand for an overseas study program, but it was her travels in Thailand, Malaysia, Vietnam, Cambodia and Bali that really seemed to change her picky palate.
Now, when we meet Maddie in Ann Arbor for dinner, there's a whole new kind of problem: The restaurant choices are endless and she's open to most of them. Plus, she's not partial to any except maybe Arbor Brewing Company...but how many black bean burgers with spinach and red peppers can one girl eat?
Since her days in Ann Arbor are numbered—she's headed back to California in January and then will travel to New Zealand to work on organic farms—choosing new restaurants seems like the best course of action.
So, when we learned about one, Bell's Diner, from Sybil and Stephanie Diccion this weekend, it seemed like we should check it out. Bell's Diner serves Korean food and breakfast fare all day long. It's the restaurant we should have known about during Maddie's college days. Instead of us suffering through Pizza House, Maddie could have enjoyed pancakes while we entered heaven with Bi Bim Bop. So, I e-mailed her about it.
"Sybil suggests Bell's Diner for dinner. Are you thinking of somewhere to eat yet?"
"I've never heard of Bell's Diner. I have a coupon for a free meal at Mongolian BBQ...," she said, and then sent me a link to the Bell's Diner menu with these comments.
"It's expensive. I've heard of Chris Wicks, though...I think he might do Selma stuff sometimes."
"Selma" is Selma Café, a unique eating establishment (only open on Friday mornings) in an Ann Arbor couple's home. It's a "local foods breakfast salon" staffed by volunteers (Maddie among them) with the food often made by local chefs.
Chris Wicks? I've never heard of Chris Wicks. But I've already searched Bell's Diner online and read that it's good and it's cheap.
I go to the link she's sent.
For starters, among other oddities, you can choose these:
Snail Fricase, mushroom, hen egg, parsley, quinoa.
Crab, spring onion, red dulce, fennel, sand.
For the main course?
Monkfish, oxtail, turnip, pickled herbs chicken, Jerusalem artichoke, girolles, game chips, venison, beetroot, cocoa, salsify, bone marrow.
"Are you on drugs?" I ask Maddie. "This appears to be a menu from England...the prices are in pounds."
(I can't imagine that her palate has expanded to include bone marrow and snails—or sand for that matter. Still, I'm a little bummed that we won't get a chance to try the "AMUSE BOUCHE" offerings. Not that I knew what Amuse Bouche meant before I looked it up. "Funny mouth" is what I would have guessed using my limited knowledge of French, but it's a single, tiny, bite-sized hors d'œuvre.)
"Oh. Yeah. I wondered why it was euros...just thought it was trying to be authentic," Maddie says. "I swear there's a guy named Chris Wicks who owns restaurants in Ann Arbor though..."
I ask if Bell's Diner (the Korean and breakfast one) sounds like someplace she'd like to try for our early dinner, but she doesn't really care. We decide to go and check out the menu (it's not online) and then decide.
There's no menu on the door so we head inside and ask to see one. We tell the waitress we're not sure about eating there, but she invites us to sit down in a booth, read the menu, and then decide.
David takes his coat off almost immediately. I read about Bi Bim Bop and am ready to order. It's all up to Maddie. She looks up from her menu and says, "Isn't that Stephanie right there?"
David and I turn around and our bouches are amused to see Stephanie Diccion just starting a late lunch with her son, Ian.
We joined them for a great meal and conversation, but I kept wondering, Where is Chris Wicks?

Nice is the fifth largest city in France, but in my mind it's the most important after only Paris. Nice is not only a beautiful Mediterranean city with a lot to see and do; it is the hub for the French Riviera. Nice brings the world to the South of France and gives it reason to stay a while.
Nice is often overshadowed by its glitzy neighbors: Monaco and Monte Carlo and their aristocracy; or Hollywood (and my) favorite Cannes; or champagne jet-set favorite St. Tropez-but Nice can hang! Nice offers a lot of what the others don't. Nice is a city for all budgets. Nice is a place where you can feel comfortable walking around Promenade Des Anglais or in the old quarter around Place Garibaldi over to the quickly improving port area. Restaurants and bars are easy to find but hard to leave.
For over a century, Nice has been a second home to many rich Europeans. The English couldn't stay away from the Mediterranean climate and who could blame them. The weather is pretty much perfect all year round.
My only real issue with Nice is that their beach is rocky and not sand. You have to go out of Nice to find sandy beaches but that's not so bad either because then you can discover the little hidden gems that surround Nice. Whether they are beachside or higher up in the hills above nice-you can't go wrong.
My personal favorite spot to visit around Nice is Saint-Paul-de-Vence. I have to give credit where it's due as I had never heard of it until I did a shore excursion from my Azamara cruise last fall. I fell in love instantly with this amazing little picturesque walled city. It's only about 20 minutes or so from Nice so be sure to make your way up there-you will not regret and it will make all your Facebook friends jealous!
My favorite way to see Nice itself is on foot, but I also recommend checking out the aforementioned neighbors. Driving along the French Riviera and seeing the trail of the rich and famous is a lot of fun and something that should not be missed. Just make sure you come back to Nice and scour the Old Quarter for your perfect little restaurant-and, believe me, you'll have plenty of choices. The Niçoise and Italian food are almost always fantastic… just stay away from restaurants with pictures of the food - that's a general rule, not just for Nice! Whatever you do, enjoy Nissa La bella!
Azamara has nine upcoming cruises to Nice including:
- A five-night Monaco Grand Prix voyage in May 2015.
- An eight-night Classic Mediterranean voyage in October 2015.
- A fifteen-night transatlantic voyage in April 2016.

In some form or another, baseball has been played and enjoyed in the States since the 1800s. No wonder it is known as our National Pastime! The college baseball season generally starts in February or March and ends in May or June. Tryouts may be held in the fall, and training will usually occur throughout the winter semester. Many college rosters have more than 30 players on their teams.
Thinking about playing college ball? Find a college that excels both in sports and academics. Check the timing for tryouts for each college, as well as their playing schedule to make sure it doesn't conflict with academic pursuits, or any other extracurricular activities in which you plan to participate. The time commitment and scheduling may also differ depending on what division you play in. Division I teams are often found in larger schools that have bigger sports budgets. DII teams are often found in smaller public colleges or private schools, and DIII teams are found in schools that do not offer athletic scholarships, but may have academic scholarships and other financial aid available to student-athletes. Any division can be right for you depending on your abilities, interests and long-term goals.
