YUIN PK3 Earbuds
"Looking at the picture of the PK3's I wasn't expecting much. They look and feel cheap using a generic case for the drivers making them easy to fake. (In fact my first pair were fake!) these earbuds sound GREAT! Especially considering the price ($44) I have a few pair of earbuds in this same and higher price range and these PK3's knock all of them out of the water. They have a flat sounding..." --thebluebulk
Yuin Pk1 Earphones
" These were my sweetest sounding head-gear yet. It would be brilliant all-rounder if it would not require a portable amp for portable use. This is the first reason i left it, otherwise i almost got an ear infection from those foams.., they get dirty in a few weeks of massive use. I recommend them to clean, i boiled them in water.

Yuin OK1 Earphones
" Well firstly this is not a true iem. The sound is about as great as one could get from an earbud. In my limited experience and without trying the pk1, I would say these are the finest buds you can buy. With that said, these are not for everyone, this is a niche product within an already niche market. I find driving it with my D12 anaconda makes for a pleasurable sound,..." --Jamesdeandoa

Yuin Pk2 Earphones
PK2 earphones are the low impedance version of PK1. Although not as good as PK1, PK2's sound signature is similar to PK1. You don't have to drive PK2 with an expensive head-amp. If you are looking for something with high performance/price ratio, PK2 might be the best choice.

As I've analogized many times, they have Humpty Dumpty perched on the fence. Just a matter of time when they shove him off.
Then that fiasco of cap and trade will be rammed down the throats of everyone.
Then that horrendous bill that will deny right-to-work laws to exist will be mysteriously invoked by the union thugs...and voila! ON TO GUN CONTROL...AND SPEECH CONTROL...THE OLIGARCHY WILL BE REALIZED.
Meanwhile all the anti-Bush sheeple applaud. Won't matter what you call yourselves then. Whatever your party name or philosophy...ignorant or erudite...rich or poor...you will have been a part of the constitution's demise. You will have succeeded in starting the beginning of the end for a once great republic.
When the one you love becomes a memory, that memory becomes a treasure.

For now, Lincoln Chafee has the luxury of discussing his political future as a riddle wrapped up in an enigma.
While he says he loves teaching at Brown University's Watson Institute — where he took up a post after losing his US Senate seat in 2006 — Chafee says the job is on a semester-by-semester basis, and he adds, "My own feeling is that my value here is what I bring from the outside, and that the longer I stay, the less value that I have."
So, does that mean that the well-liked and quirky Republican-turned-independent, who has previously floated the possibility of running for governor, general treasurer, or mayor of Providence in 2010, is planning his return to politics? Is an ongoing burst of public appearances due just to the April 1 release of his new book, Againstthe Tide: How a Compliant Congress Empowered a Reckless President (St. Martin's Books), or is it a taste of things to come?
Offering what has become something of a pro forma response, Chafee, 55, demurs when asked about his future, talking about how good it has been "to have a normal life again," and how he's at "a point in my life to make some good decisions."
"I will say that I enjoy the challenges that elective office brings, and I am starting to think about it, and it is starting to loom on the horizon now," Chafee adds during a recent interview, offering more of a nod to the real world of politics than when he called 2010 "a long way away" during an appearance on WJAR-TV's 10 News Conference a few weeks ago. After doing whatever he can to help Barack Obama's presidential campaign, the former senator says, he hopes to make some decisions at the end of this year.
Coming from most politicians, such hedging would seem suspect. Yet there's little question that Chafee — to the delight of his admirers, and to the chagrin of his critics — marches to the beat of a different drummer. For a guy who spent years shoeing horses in Montana and Canada after his graduation from Brown in 1975, it wouldn't be completely out of the question for him to take a walk.
Yet for connoisseurs of Rhode Island politics, the most tantalizing possibility would be an unprecedented three-way gubernatorial battle royal featuring a Democrat to be named later; Republican Stephen P. Laffey, Chafee's hard-charging GOP primary opponent from 2006; and the independent Chafee, who embodies an appealing Ocean State tradition that blends liberalism, moderation, and fiscal conservatism.
With the state facing crushing budget deficits and continued partisan warfare between Republican Governor Donald L. Carcieri and the Democrat-controlled General Assembly, the grim fiscal outlook can be expected to persist through the next statewide election.
Considering this, the three-way gubernatorial scenario would offer a provocative choice to voters.
Laffey, who isn't shy in describing his skill set as the answer for Rhode Island's woes, would wield a sharply confrontational approach against legislative Democrats. A yet-to-be-determined number of Democratic candidates will tout an ability to get more done than the departing Carcieri. And Chafee — with a golden name and a credential as the only Senate Republican to vote against the war in Iraq — could offer both a collaborative approach and a demonstrated ability to go against the political grain.

The Way I See It!
I am an Ultra-Conservative, Alpha-Male, True Authentic Leader, Type "C" Personality, who is very active in my community; whether it is donating time, clothes or money for Project Concern or going to Common Council meetings and voicing my opinions. As a blogger, I intend to provide a different viewpoint "The way I see it!" on various world, national and local issues with a few helpful tips & tidbits sprinkled in.
Today My Son Ryan Would Have Been 8 Years Old
It is a sad day in my life and for my family.
Today my son Ryan Dean would have been 8 years old. I wish I could have celebrated it with him.
Losing my son is the hardest and darkest day in my life. During this time I did lose my faith in God and why something like this could happen. I know life isn't fair and we don't have all the answers or can even understand why things happen. With a little time, my faith did return.
To all the parents who have lost a child, I am sorry and if your pain is like mine it is a heavy burden to have.
My son Ryan Dean you are in Heaven watching down on us. I feel your rays of love and hear your voice in my mind.
Ryan is playing with Nala and Molly while sitting with Grandma H and Cousin Alan all the while they watch Gus and Jacques swim around in their bowl.
Happy Birthday Son, Daddy Loves You and Misses You!!!
Love Daddy

Within the broad tech sell-off today, amidst the worst Nasdaq Composite Index sell-off since June of 2012, shares of semiconductors are performing slightly worse than average, with the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index (SOX) down 2.7% versus the 2.63% decline in the Nasdaq.
The decline follows a report from the Semiconductor Industry Association yesterday that sales in February rose 11.4%, year over year, to $25.9 billion, but delivered a month-over-month decline worse than seasonal trends would imply.
SIA president Brian Toohey took an upbeat tone on the report, stating "The trend lines remain positive for the global semiconductor industry, which has followed record revenues in 2013 with an encouraging start to 2014."
Sales growth was strongest in the Americas region, up 18%, and up 12% in Asia-Pacific. As the chart below from SIA shows the year-over-year 11% rise is a pickup in growth from the end of 2011, though it remains well below 2010 levels.
Analysts today note that microprocessors and flash memory chips were among the weaker of the separate industry segments. Shares of flash provider Micron Technology (MU) are among the worst of the group's performers today, down $1, or 4.2%, at $23, after last night beating fiscal Q2 estimates.
J.P. Morgan's Christopher Danely writes that the implied 0.3% decline in February is below the average increase this time of year of 2.2%, but not as bad as his expectation for a 0.7% decline.
Danely notes the price increase of 2%, on average, from the month prior was above his own 1.8% estimate.
"However, we are maintaining our overall semiconductor forecast of 8% YoY revenue growth in 2014 as business conditions remain healthy," he writes.
"We believe aggregate business conditions in the semiconductor sector continue to improve with the communications, automotive and industrial end-markets strong, the PC end- market stabilizing, and the handset end-market remaining soft."
Danely thinks growth will peak in April: The three-month rolling average YoY sales growth bottomed at -1.8% YoY in April 2013, and we expect it to peak at 13.8% YoY growth in April 2014."
Danely encourages investors to focus on programmable chip makers Xilinx (XLNX) and Altera (ALTR), which he rates Overweight, and analog chip makers Analog Devices (ADI) and Texas Instruments (TXN), also Overweight.
Wells Fargo's David Wong brushes aside any softness, writing that in fact the data support his positive view on the group, though valuations are a concern:
Global semiconductor sales as reported by the Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA) has been up solidly in the high-single-digit to double-digit percent range over each of the last three months, December through February. We think this supports our projection that chip growth will accelerate to the 8- 12% growth range for 2014, up from 5% growth in 2013 and a decline of 3% in 2012. On the other hand the three-month rolling average of semiconductor sales has dropped a little in each of the last three months, roughly consistent, we think, with a normal seasonal softening at the beginning of each year. These numbers, and other data such as news about rising chip foundry orders, lead us to expect that upcoming chip reports for the March quarter and guidance for the June quarter will reflect a stable to improving chip demand environment. However, we remain cautious on the chip group as a whole for valuation reasons, with a Market Weight sector rating.
Wong has Outperform ratings on Altera, Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), Intel (INTC), Micrel (MCRL), Montage Technology (MONT), Qualcomm (QCOM), Spansion (CODE), and Linear Technology (LLTC).

As you read these very words, the great Portland Fringe 2012 is already up and running. Herein we highlight three of the Fringe's more beguilingly strange offerings.
Let's start with the audaciously experimental writer Gertrude Stein's take on the immortal story of Faust: In her 1938 libretto DR. FAUSTUS LIGHTS THE LIGHTS, staged here by the Portland Theater Collective under the direction of Tess Van Horn, at Geno's, it is electric illumination for which the knowledge-hungry doctor (Chris Holt) has sold his soul to Mephisto (a befeathered Karen Ball). Faustus now shifts his obsession to his own soul, or lack thereof, and that of the plural woman "Marguerite Ida and Helena Annabelle" (Casey Turner and Vanessa Romanoff, in purple sequins), who has been bitten by a deadly Viper (Ian Carlsen).
At once Seussian and witchy, its language laden with neurotic syncopations, overlapping chorus repetitions, and sing-song internal rhymes, Stein's Faustus is an irreverent, disarming, impossible-to-gloss riddle about power and humanity. And PTC's production, alternately antic and hair-raising, is one to put at the top of your Fringe list. In the two-level checkerboard depths of Geno's, some of Portland's most dynamic actors will be lighting and extinguishing myriad lamps, and circling poor Faustus with eerily meaningful nonsense.
DR. FAUSTUS LIGHTS THE LIGHTS | by Gertrude Stein | Directed by Tess Van Horn | Produced by the Portland Theater Collaborative | June 26 @ 7 pm + June 30 @ noon, at Geno's, 625 Congress St, Portland

text: Hey fellas tomorrow is my opener and I need some advice on my setup. I've posted a pic of the spot for some perspective. The arrow indicates the roost location, the circled spot is the hedge row the jutts out from the tree line in an easterly fashion. My plan was to position myself in that hedge row oriented in a southerly direction towards the field with the deke about 20 yrds in front of me. This being public land I'll probably only get one crack at this so I want to ensure I position myself apporiately and not risk scaring them off the roost or have them fly off in the opposite direction come fly down. I do plan to get in there early, well before first light to avoid the birds seeing me and also becuase it will probably rain and I'll need to set up a blind. I honestly don't know how the birds will react to any calling. In the times I've been hunting this area they have been tight lipped. So I will not call until flydown..and only if he does not see my deke or choses to ingnore it and head off the other way. I also have the option of setting up on the other side of the hedge row and the first time I saw this flock they had traversed the other side of the hedge row (not sure if they pitched down there) and traveled in a northeasterly direction hugging the treeline around until the crossed the road and continued in a northeasterly fashion. When I roosted them they travled to the roost spot in a similar direction. Since its a short distance from the hedge row to where they roost (75 yrds) I'm concerned that I might scare them off the roost. Also since I've never seen them pitch down I'm concenred that they may pitch down on the northern side of the hedgrow and my set up...just not sure what will happen to be honest. Like I said I don't think I'll get but one shot at this so I'm open to suggestions on where I should set up. Thanks for you advice fellas, its greatly appreciated.

text: I have a young female that is doing quite well with Hunt Tests and I plan on running derbys with her this fall. She has been OFA Prelim. and Eye Cerf. Everything looks good. She is out of a Chavez bitch Senior Hunter and Rebel With A Cause. She's got her JH and she will be running her first SH this weekend. She is 14 months so won't be ready to have pups until next year. I would like a Black Stud that is yellow factored. I'm interested in a top notch stud. By the way, she is yellow, 64lbs and very athletic and a very nice looking female. Any suggestions on a stud for next year?

and people say CNN is does not have a liberal agenda
Yes...I attended the one here in Tulsa
I've been called a lot worse by a lot better people than those who would set to "divide this house against itself" .
If that's the label that some would put on me, so be it.
The mantle that I must wear in order to celebrate my freedom, I'll accept it.
The people who fought and died to establish this great country were called "traitors" and "enemies of the Crown" and were subject to horrible torture and the forfeit of all their assets & property, before death.
A pitifully small price for me to pay for the privilege of being an American compared to theirs.
And if there is a "sky spy" taking pix of my place, I hope they get a nice shot of my US & Gadsden flags with a clear view of the words, "DON'T TREAD ON ME"!

Let them laugh, for while they do, they can't hear the "distant thunder" and prepare for the storm they are bringing upon themselves.
Let them claim to be "unaware" so that they will take the next elections for granted.
And finally, let them "hold their own event" to further demonstrate where the true American "arrogance" is, in order that people on ALL sides will finally say "Enough!"

Jeanine Garafolo quoted in the Washington Times:
"Let's be very honest about what this is about. This is not about bashing Democrats. It's not about taxes. They have no idea what the Boston Tea party was about. They don't know their history at all. It's about hating a black man in the White House," she said on MSNBC's "The Countdown" with Keith Olbermann Thursday evening. "This is racism straight up and is nothing but a bunch of teabagging rednecks. There is no way around that."
So at least we have that going for us.... which is good.

My wife and I ended up attending a TEA Party closer to home in Mansfield, OH. There were around 1000 people there. We had several politicians including the local congressman, Jim Jordan speak. The best speech was by one of the local judges.
The funniest part was this guy, I think they were male, who looked like he had just rushed out of bed wearing an Obama button. This guy though he was some kind of undercover agent. He was walking around with a small digital camcorder held just above his waist. Periodically he would stop and slowly turn in a full circle. Who knows if he was actually recordinging anything. I don't think anyone there was trying to hide their appearance. It was pretty sad and pathetic.
Still clinging to my God and my guns,
PS I guess by the sec of DHS standards I should expect a 24 hour FBI tail considering I have 4 different bumper stickers that qualify me as a rightwing radical. Anti-abortion, TEA's enough already, NRA and homeschooling.
Tom Wall
Neil Cavuto had a guest on Thursday who said the Tea Parties were stupid and lame because it was like someone protesting Sears for increasing the cost of her lipstick...
In the Left's efforts to downplay the importance of these events, they completely lose sight of reality...
Unless this women spends 40-50% of her yearly income on lipstick, I think this was a terrible comparison and really showed how "lame and stupid" even the Best of the Left's spokespersons are at voicing their own "reasoned" point of view.
I've always wanted someone (smarter than me) to breakdown where and how money is spent in the US.
For example: Coming right out of our paychecks, we pay for Social Security, Fed and State income taxes, etc etc etc.
Then after we get our reduced paychecks, we put money into our personal retirement accounts, and we either pay taxes on the money going into the account, or we pay taxes on the money as we take it out when we retire (which seems unfair to pay income taxes on money we already paid income taxes on before we put it in/before we even got that money in the first place). Then if we buy a car, we pay sales tax (even if we buy it from a person rather than a dealership), if we go grocery shopping, buy shoes, paint, gas... everything we spend money on is TAXED!!
We get taxed before we get it, after we get it, and on what we save for ourselves, and then taxed on taking the money out that we saved for ourselves... That's a double, triple, or quadruple dip for the government.
Watch the movie "the Matrix" again, but perceive that instead of machines using us for batteries, it's the government using us for income. The government doesn't see us as anything more than a source of income (and power).

The 10 Best Mountain Towns in America
Biking in Crested Butte, Colorado
Crested Butte Bike Week, in late June, touts "Bikes, Beers, and Bands," but that may as well be the town motto. The 130-year-old former coal-mining camp is nestled in a bowl of high pasture, in a cul-de-sac formed by jagged mountains etched with hundreds of miles of Jeep roads and killer singletrack. "Within minutes, you can be isolated on flowing, smooth singletrack," says cyclist David Ochs. Rent a dual-suspension ride from Crested Butte Sports, and get a map marking fabled rides like 401, a 14-miler that starts near the ghost town of Gothic, climbs past Emerald Lake, and descends through helmet-high wildflowers.
Crested Butte is also home to the Mountain Bike Hall of Fame, which houses relics like Joe Breeze's 1979 nickel-plated "Breezer," and the ski village of Mount Crested Butte will host the Stage 2 finish of this year's USA Pro Cycling Challenge – the country's biggest road race – on August 21. For après-bike, hit the newly opened Montanya Rum distillery – turns out that rum ages best at altitude, and the water from the spring-fed aquifer it's distilled with is as pure as the stuff gets.
Getting There: Fly to Gunnison; drive 30 minutes north.

Marvel's 'The Avengers' Midnight Box-Office
The unofficial midnight gross for Marvel's The Avengers is $18.7 million. That's the eighth-biggest midnight haul on record. The seven ahead of it are The Hunger Games ($19.7 million), Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince ($22 million), Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part I ($24 million), The Twilight Saga: New Moon ($26 million), The Twilight Saga: Eclipse ($30 million), The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn part I ($30 million), and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part II ($43 million). Obviously The Avengers was never going to top the midnight-grossers list, and its worth noting that the film earned more on its midnight debut that pretty much every prior Marvel Studios movie combined (Offhand, Thor earned $3.5 million, Captain America earned $4 million, and Iron Man 2 earned $7.5 million in their respective midnight debuts). It's a larger midnight, just barely and likely due to inflation and the 3D-price bump, then The Dark Knight, which broke a midnight record four years ago with $18.5 million on its way to a $67 million opening day and a $158 million opening weekend (both records at the time).

che trasforma Venezia in un mondo magico
The exhibition features more than 28 work of international artists that have used glass as their poetic medium. From Marcel Duchamp and Joseph Beuys, until Ai Weiwei, Damien Hirst, Giovanni Anselmo and Jannis Kounellis.
This exhibition is part of Le Stanze del Vetro project, a joint collaboration between Fondazione Giorgio Cini and Pentagram Stiftung, developed with the aim of promoting the appreciation of and research in glass made in the 19th and 20th centuries.
In the context of Venetian glassmaking and its peculiar artisan connotations, Fragile? aims at taking a different, yet equally important, aspect into account, namely the use of glass as a found object, with specific metaphorical and linguistic features.
Instead of the precise traits of manufactured artworks, other aspects will be highlighted, such as symbolic transparency, fragility and resistance, imprecision and smoothness, along with the construction of elements that draw inspiration from reality and contemporary artistic language.
"Glass, thanks to its widespread use in architecture and its double nature of transparent medium and at the same time barrier, becomes a new linguistic tool through which to create images" said Mario Codognato, the curator of the exhibition.
Fragile? displays the creations of some of the most interesting artists of our time, who used glass with diverse and contrasting intentions. Seen as a whole, the works translate the infinite potentialities of glass into unprecedented dialectics which inevitably have to do with our daily existence, as a constitutive element of contemporary artistic language.
Fondazione Giorgio Cini, Isola di San Giorgio Maggiore, Venezia.
Open from April 8 to July 28, from 10am to 7pm. Closed on Wednesdays.

Years of preparation went into the development of the Esser Vineyards brand. Working closely with Manfred Esser is renowned consulting winemaker Paul Moser, whose style received praise for eight consecutive years from Robert Parker as a "breath of fresh air" in the California wine market.
Introduced in 2001, the Esser Vineyards portfolio launched with four California appellation wines: Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Pinot Noir. Fashioned with the customer in mind, these fruit-forward, well-balanced wines offer style, value and elegance — the ultimate consumer-friendly California wines. View all Esser Vineyards Wines
About Other CaliforniaView a map of Other California wineries
California has nearly 100 American Viticulture Areas (AVAs) and accounts for almost 90% of wine production in the United States. In our section of Other California, we include wines from smaller AVAs as well as wines from the California AVA. Here are a few smaller AVAs you may see on the label:
Livermore Valley AVA, located right outside of San Francisco and home to wineries such as Wente.
Lodi County AVA, an AVA further east of San Francisco and known for its excellent, old-vine Zinfandels.
San Francisco Bay AVA, a sprawling AVA that covers Contra Costa, Santa Clara and Santa Cruz counties, to name a few. Wine that holds only the California AVA is typically a wine that includes grapes from a number of different AVAs, which leads to the general labeling of the wine as California. This does not denote the quality of the wine, only the diversity of where the grapes originate.
About California
The most famous of the California wine regions is Napa Valley, and these wines are certainly outstanding – but it's not as broad and diverse as its larger neighbor, Sonoma County. Down south, Santa Barbara's Santa Maria Valley is well-known for its Rhône blends, as well as cool-climate varieties like Pinot and Chardonnay. The Central Coast, the largest California AVA, has many different microclimates that lead to a wide range of wines with many sub-AVAs.

Wet noodles (brains!) and peeled grapes (eyeballs!) used to make us squeal with disgusted delight (okay, maybe they still do). Oh how we loved a cheeky Halloween party.
We still do – even though now we might prefer moonlighting as a Great Gatsby character rather than a ghost wearing our mother's weathered, daisy-print bed sheet.
But we digress.
Crane & Co. has just added a super ghoul collection of Halloween invitations. Thinking of hosting an oh-so elegant masquerade ball? Covered. An intimate vampire dinner party (we're suddenly craving blood orange sorbet)? Sounds exquisite. Pumpkin carving followed by pumpkin pie? This Halloween invitation is killer.
Of course, every invitation can be completely personalized to fit your perfect spooky style. Not everyone loves orange borders, after all, and that's just fine. The design and wording are totally up to you.
That said, we can't help but share some of our favorite phrases:
"Toxic Brews and Potions"
"Join us if you dare!"
"Get in the spirits"
"Dress to Kill"
Now that you're in a wonderfully morbid mood, it's time to shop our Halloween invitation collection.
If you dare… bwahahaha!

Unfortunately, things went downhill from there. Eidos became obsessed with making a celebrity out of Lara rather than creating a series of good games. Just like a real Hollywood actress, her name started getting top-billing, her boobs got bigger and bigger and they tried to cover up her age with extreme makeup. Tombs disappeared in favor of oil derricks while raiding gave way to gunplay.
Tomb Raider: Legend marks the first time we get a new developer's take on the series. Crystal Dynamics, best known for Legacy of Kain and Soul Reaver lines, has done a decent job steering Lara back towards her roots, but doesn't quite get all the way back to the source.
This time around, the discovery of a strange relic prompts Lara to delve into her past, where she uncovers a link between the disappearance of her mother and the death of a friend. It's not Shakespeare, but it gets Lara back in the tombs where she belongs.
With some of the most ambitious levels since the original game, the huge temples our heroine raids are beautiful and inspiring. Solving their riddles never feels like a chore, because just exploring them is a reward in itself, so much so that when you get to the ends of the best ones, you'll find yourself disappointed that you have to leave.
Sadly, getting to said ends doesn't take long because the tombs are still completely linear, a fact made abundantly clear since the puzzles and obstacles between you and your treasures are so easy to solve. You move objects onto switches, find the right levers, and figure out how to climb up to the top of this or that giant chamber. Needless to say, there's room for improvement. Also, with all her skills, Lara should probably be able to climb something in more than just one way, especially when she gets stymied by barriers that hardly look impassable.
Part of the fun of climbing and flipping through these environments are the climbing and flipping mechanics themselves. Lara has always been a joy to control thanks to the ease with which she performs her graceful acrobatics, and Legend is no exception. Flipping, jumping, swinging, twisting and vaulting are as simple as not falling off a log. Oddly, Lara's ability to "chimney," a staple of rock climbing, has gone missing.
Swimming, on the other hand, is as easy as drowning, which will happen to you often enough. In a bizarre control scheme, Lara swims like a submarine. Moving the control stick only moves her in a flat plane, while you need to use unlikely face buttons to control her ascent and decent.
Lara can perform any of her fancy moves while simultaneously shooting, but the gunplay is a little thin. If you lock-on, shoot, and jump around, you'll never meet your match in a gun fight. You'll certainly meet plenty of wannabes, though, because there are a ton of bad guys. That's not a great combo. Besides, what are all these dudes doing in these secluded tombs? It just took you 45 minutes of solving puzzles and dodging traps to get there...did they just waltz in the back door? Any Indiana Jones fan will tell you that the bad guys wait outside the tomb so they can take your hard-earned artifacts without breaking a sweat or a henchman's back.
The game really falls apart when it comes to the few motorcycle levels. With bad control, bad physics, and just plain old bad gameplay, this stuff should have been cut from the game entirely.
Which, unfortunately, would have shortened an already short game. It will take a decent gamer only about 10-12 hours until they're done with the tomb tour, at which point Lara suddenly becomes an awkward date. With no multiplayer, there's little left to do or say other than explore the game's huge number of unlockables, mostly in the form of new outfits and game art.
The best of these is Croft Manor, which is unlocked when you beat the first level. While less interesting than an ancient tomb, Lara's mansion has plenty of secrets to uncover in any order you choose because it isn't linear. As you gain various abilities and tools in your tomb raidings, you'll be able to come back to the manor and access new areas. It's a good addition.
Much like her gameplay, Lara looks very much the same, with a cartoonish silhouette, features and lips that make even Angelina Jolie's pale by comparison. The Xbox version runs the smoothest, while the PS2 and Xbox 360 versions tend to stutter a bit when you pan the camera around. The 360 version is clearly the sharpest of the bunch with some especially nice water effects, but it is also clearly a port of the last-gen version, with some obviously recycled textures. It looks inconsistent, whereas the textures of the last-gen versions at least match.
The sound is well done, if occasionally irritating. Lara still sports her sexy upper-class accent, the voice actors for her friends and enemies are capable enough, and the environmental noises are spot-on. The music is usually muted, allowing you to explore those awesome tombs in peace… almost. It seems Lara suffers from bad cell phone etiquette, and her friends back at the mansion are always on her headset. Nothing spoils the mood of discovering a hundred-foot tall ancient statue as having some jerk blurt in your ear "Whoa! Cool!" I know it's cool. I'm looking right at it.
Ten years later, Lara's not showing her age at all…but while my aunt Sadie loves to hear that, in this case it's not entirely a compliment. Tomb Raider: Legend does bring back many of the things that made the original such a great game, but it also fails to improve on them in any significant way. Feel free to take Lara out for the weekend, but don't go looking for a long-term relationship.

BALDWYN – Hancock Fabrics saw its sales improve and narrowed its losses for the fourth quarter and its fiscal year, the company said Friday.
For the quarter ended Jan. 26, the Baldywn-based craft and fabric retailer reported net sales of $81.7 million, marginally higher than the $81.4 million logged a year earlier. Comparable-store sales – sales of stores open at least a year, a key retail figure – increased 1.4 percent. Hancock did post a loss for the quarter of $600,000, or 3 cents a share.
However, that compares to the year-ago quarterly loss of $5.2 million, or 26 cents a share.
For the full fiscal year, sales rose 2.2 percent to $278 million – its best showing in at least seven years.
Comparable store sales for the year increased 2.9 percent, a reversal of the 0.8 percent loss in fiscal 2011.
Internet sales for the company increased 8 percent to $5.2 million, a reversal of its 7.9 percent decline a year earlier
Hancock did narrow its loss for the year to $8.5 million, or 42 cents a share. Since filing for bankruptcy protection in 2007 and emerging from it in 2008, the company has posted a net profit once – a $1.8 million gain in fiscal year 2009.
Still, the loss for fiscal year 2012 was the smallest loss it has posted since 2007. In fiscal year 2011, its losses totaled $11.3 million, or 57 cents a share.
"We are pleased to report improved performance in the fourth quarter and the momentum that it brings us going into 2013," said President and CEO Steve Morgan. "Operating income was up $6.8 million over last fourth quarter and although we had a net loss of $600,000 for the fourth quarter, this included one-time refinancing expenses of $1.5 million. We feel that the decision to refinance early even though it was not planned at the beginning of the year, despite the resulting negative impact to the fourth quarter results, had a positive impact as we expect it to provide us stability for the next four years."
During the past year, Hancock Fabrics opened one store, closed three and relocated eight to end the year with 261 stores in 37 states.
In March, James Brown joined the company as executive vice president and chief financial officer, replacing Robert Driskell, who resigned in December. Larry Fair has been interim CFO.
"With our full leadership team in place and the momentum from the fourth quarter, we expect that 2013 will continue with the trend we saw in the fourth quarter," Morgan said. "We have now completed 15 consecutive months of positive comparable sales."

Today, I went to Workforce Central, the new name of our local Unemployment Office, and requested any and all applications that they had for area companies. It seems a large number of local factories have you go to WC instead of the business to fill out an app.
God, I hope one of these gets me a job. Nothing else seems to be working out for me.
Recent bursts of insanity:
- Make a .deb of cyclone (IRCd based on
This should be relatively easy, right? Just take the existing .deb for ircd-dalnet and convert it? Not me. I have to make things difficult.
I want to make a few changes. It's not enough for me to have the existing ircd.conf. I want to not be required to enter certain information at compile time (hostname, services hostname, contact email/url, etc.). Do I know anything about C? Not yet...
- Autoconfiscate and make a .deb of OpenOffice.
I've never autoconfiscated anything before, and I know less of C++ than I do of C. However, I love the challenge...
Besides, I'm not familiar with dmake or tcsh.

Which usb wifi
So here is my question. I need a good usb antenna that works for linux and windows BUT the most importatnt feature is it needs to have great strength and power. im soooo tired of crapy signal in my house. The modem is downstairs and the PC is upstairs that needs a connection and running cable is not an option. wifi is all i can do.
Someone once posted this as an option but im not sure if it will work for the distance factor
http://www.data-alliance.net/servlet/-s ... USB/Detail
Anyways. thanks much. I hope and hope i can get this to work.
An option i have thought of but not sure how to do it is set up some sort of stand alone AP that will connect to the modem, then i can connect to the AP so the AP will be a middle man sorta speak. However, i cant run any cables to the AP. All it needs to do is forward data to both ends of the party. Maybe become a host via dhcp on the network then my pc can connect to it.

Pocket Life

Or you could just use the pocket life without a template and place them around your page in a pleasing manner that you like. Really there is no right or wrong - that you like it is most important.
Or you could use ScrapSimple Tools - Actions: Resize it, designed by Syndee Nuckles, Scrap Girls, LLC digital scrapbooking product designer. You can make your layout in the template size then use this to make it 8x10.
One neat thing that I do with the new pocket life cards is to print them and use them for lunch box notes for my kids or just a quick thank you note.
Hope this helps!

Posted 09 March 2013 - 11:03 AM
Elisha's 4x6 cards scaled almost perfectly to the large slots on this template, and the 3x4's scale just about perfectly to the smaller slots. Similarly on this template:
Note: I've rotated Cheri's templates 90 degrees. Then I put the colored rectangles under the almost transparent pocket protectors to help me see the slots, and numbered them to help me place photos and cards in the right "slots." I like to try different things to see if it makes things go faster for me.

Open the template you want to resize. Open a new document in the correct size, so for you, 8x10. On the original template file, click on the top layer in the layers palette, then press and hold shift while clicking on the bottom layer in the palette. Now ALL the layers should be highlighted. Select the move tool, and with shift held down again, drag them into your new document. (Holding shift down will make sure they go directly in the center of your document - in just the right places). Close the original template file now to avoid accidentally saving over it. Save your new document before you forget and lose your work (I hate when PS/PSE crashes!).
Next, scroll out a little so you can see the edges to grab and resize - I do this by pressing control/minus. Click and drag all the layers (they should still all be highlighted - if not, shift and click on the top and bottom layers again to get them highlighted) smaller until they just fit in your space. There will be a little space since you're doing 8x10 instead of 8.5x11. If there's nothing that matters if it gets distorted (eg rectangles, or squares that you don't mind if they become rectangles as you drag them out in one direction), then take your finger off the shift key (which constrains the proportions) and click either the top center or right or left center box and drag out/in until the template pieces fit EXACTLY in your window. If there is something that you want the proportions constrained on, eg a circle....then when you have all the layers highlighted, control/click on that layer in the layers palette to UNhighlight it. Resize the others, then go back to the circle layer and make it smaller using the shift key as always to constrain the proportions while resizing.
Let me know if you have any other questions!
Posted 09 March 2013 - 02:25 PM
Posted 09 March 2013 - 03:03 PM
When I resize 12x12 to 8.5x11, I click an action that reduces the layout from 3600 px sq to 3300 px (you'd use 3000.) Then I use another action to draw guidelines on my layout at 2550 px horizontally (8.5") and 1/2" in from all four sides (150px H & V, 2400px H and 3150 px V) that help me "mind the edges" when I place things. I group items that are related, such as the parts of a cluster, and move them as a unit, and/or resize to appr 85 - 90% (For 8x10, I'd use 80-85%.) I've saved actions for 95% of whatever is selected, 90%, 75%, 66% and 50%.
The hardest thing are the papers with borders around the perimeter. For these, I duplicate them, and use layer masks to erase part, and blend them together. I did a tutorial on that which appeared in the newsletter that a long time ago: http://scrapgirls.co...1_Sat_Life.htm.
I'm hoping one of our designers (I've spoken to one a while back) will create a set of actions for sale that do things like the above actions, as I think they'd be helpful for lots of scrappers. I could package the actions, but I don't have the "chops" to be a designer myself.

I just simplified my size. I actually make my pages 3324 px x 2575 px. I don't even know what that translates to, I just know they fit on the pages at My Publisher...where I've made close to 30 books.
I'll check your templates.
Posted 09 March 2013 - 03:11 PM
Posted 09 March 2013 - 03:37 PM
In older versions of PSE, you don't have to hold the shift key to maintain proportions when you resize. It took me a long time to adapt to that extra requirement in PS. It sounds like that has changed.
My mother always said it took either a very smart or very lazy person to come up with easy ways to do hard jobs. I'll take credit for lazy and somewhat smart!

I was having the same trouble with the clipping of my pages with My Publisher, but only after I had made several books. Anyway, they told me if I made them 3324px x 2575 px they would fit perfectly. It isn't any harder to do that, so I switched. There is no need for alterations when I drop in each page.
I sure do like shortcuts. I always attributed that to being a mother of 6... But I do remember my mother saying that I always carried a 'lazy man's load'...one that was way to heavy, but it avoided a second trip.
I'd love to see one of your books some time. You don't live anywhere near Ohio, do you?

|>> Archive: Bonefish/Tarpon Flies Flats candy, mangrove magic
|Topic Review (Newest First)
I am a big fan of the Bendback used if for several years. I tie a fly I loving call a San Felipe Sunrise based on a 3407DT Mustad 1/0 hook along with green and yellowish orange ostrich feathers for the afternoon and brown and yellowsih for early morning. The fly is about 2.5 inches long, very light to cast and is always a producer when used for small tarpon.
Bendback Flies
I've always had one or two bendback style flies in my fly boxes but rarely used them over a clouser, deceiver, or conventional bucktail patterns... The past couple weeks I've been using large bendback style bucktail streamers up in the stumps, trees, bushes, and other flooded backwaters for Pike and Bass...
I am amazed how weedless and snag proof these flies are given they don't have specific weed guards... The power of an upturned hook and a well balanced fly... The are also easy to cast on windy days when a weeless deer hair diver/slider can't be casted...
Not sure who invented these designs but its a good one! I think the bucktail bendbacks w/ rattle bodies are gonna get a lot of good use in a couple weeks in Cape Canaveral for Redfish, Snook, Jacks, and whatever else we can target.

Ditching resin codes a tricky little issueComments Email Print
Apparently the time hasn't come — yet — to do away with the resin identification code.
That's good news. Because the codes have their share of problems, but they still serve a purpose. And getting rid of them would create more problems than keeping them in place.
I wrote last week in "The Plastics Blog" about how some recyclers, and even more municipalities, have had a big problem with the resin ID code for many years.
Recyclers have long said the code adds an unnecessary layer of confusion and prevents more plastics from being recycled. Plus putting a code on a container implies to many consumers that their community accepts them in the recycling stream.
If you want to recycle PET and polyethylene bottles — the most commonly recycled materials — then you might think of thermoformed PET containers and PE grocery bags as contaminants.
But try explaining that to consumers who just want to do the right thing and recycle as much plastic as they can.
Still, it was a surprise to see the Association of Postconsumer Plastic Recyclers step up and propose a plan that could be an alternative — something called Education Without Numbers. That plan has merit. But dropping the resin ID code would have impacted recyclers, processors, toolmakers, product designers, resin suppliers — just about everyone in the plastics industry.
So I was glad to see APR reconsider and come out with a statement supporting the existing recycling codes.
Mike Verespej's story about APR's position is on Page 1 of today's issue. Among other things, he quotes recyclers who say that while the recycling codes aren't perfect, getting rid of them would cause problems.
Also, don't forget that ASTM International Inc. is knee-deep in its plans to update the existing ID codes, adding categories and more specific information to help consumers and recyclers. That project will take time, but it's also likely to come up with improvements.
Finally, don't forget that the resin ID code is mandated by law in 39 states. Changing the laws isn't impossible, but it's another hurdle in any effort to change the status quo.
Can resin ID codes coexist with Education Without Numbers? Yes — though some recyclers might not be happy with that option.
Our sister publication Waste & Recycling News had an interesting take on the subject in its Aug. 6 editorial. The column, "Changing plastics numbering system a good start," applauds APR's motives, but adds that "we fear yet another labeling system is only going to puzzle, annoy and discourage people who want to recycle."
The recycling industry's goal, says WRN, should be to be able to handle a single stream of all plastics, including bags, foam and film.
"It's our job to figure out how to sort and process it all," the newspaper wrote. "It's a lofty goal for sure, given the wide-ranging physical and chemical characteristics of the different plastics."
That's a great point. In the long term, recyclers should want to recycle all types of plastics. And it's absolutely in the plastics industry's interest to support recyclers and help them reach that goal.

Roswell Presbyterian Church Historic Sanctuary
Roswell, GA 30075
The Roswell Presbyterian Church Historic Sanctuary was the first house of worship in Roswell. Built in 1840, it was used as a hospital for Union soldiers during the Civil War. Master craftsman Willis Ball of Windsor, Conn., built the Doric-columned church and homes of the original families. The church had box pews, raised pulpit, and galleries for slave members. The short, square bell tower of the Roswell church holds an iron ship bell cast in Philadelphia in 1827.
During the Civil War occupation of Roswell, the church was used as a hospital. Memorabilia of those days still remain. The door of an old cabinet, removed by Union soldiers who painted a checkerboard on it, can be seen in the History Room. Also, there is the original church Bible, with the words, "Run, John run, the Yanks will get you," scribbled on the frontispiece by a soldier.
Tours of the inside of the Historic Sanctuary must be pre-arranged.

My wife picked up a Target SA exclusive clone today at Target in Watertown. There were several left hanging on the pegs as of 10 a.m. Friday.
Sioux Falls TRU was a waste. I was there Thursday night and they had seven cases to open this morning, but the assortments only had figures from 1-40. Pretty much the same as TRUs everywhere.

Music, according to Sufi teaching, is really a small expression of the overwhelming and perfect harmony of the whole universe—and that is the secret of its amazing power to move us. The Indian Sufi master Hazrat Inayat Khan (1882–1927), the first teacher to bring the Islamic mystical tradition to the West, was an accomplished musician himself. His lucid exposition of music's divine nature has become a modern classic, beloved not only by those interested in Sufism but by musicians of all kinds.
News & Reviews
"A powerful book of mystical insight for people of all traditions."—Monos
"Inayat Khan says that music is the 'picture of our Beloved' and then draws the picture stroke by stroke from every angle and plane until we see it. He is the only holy man I know who delivers an authentic and inclusive spiritual message from a musical sensibility. He does this rigorously, poetically and spontaneously, until we perceive our own actions as music. Open to any line on any page: you will be opened."—W. A. Mathieu, author of The Listening Book and The Musical Life
"Inayat Khan brought one of the strongest and sweetest lineages from India to the West: the music and open heart of Sufism as it blends with Persian poetry and Western intellect. He is a source and a great joy."—Coleman Barks, author of Open Secret and The Essential Rumi

The poet Harry Harbord Morant (Edwin Henry Murrant, 1864?–1902) was nicknamed 'the Breaker' because of his skill and daring as a horse-breaker. He also worked as a drover, and acquired a reputation as a steeplechaser, polo player, and drinker as well as a womaniser. From 1891 he contributed to the Bulletin as 'The Breaker', writing lively and entertaining bush ballads which conveyed the flavour of bush life and the attitudes of the bushman. His horsemanship, swagger and cheerful nature won him friends. He served in the Boer War in an irregular unit formed to counter Boer guerrillas, was court-martialled for the murder of Boer prisoners and was executed by firing squad in Pretoria on 27 February 1902 (ADB).
Lambert made this quick sketch at Richmond, New South Wales, when he visited the area with Breaker Morant. The Breaker's accompanying poem, 'Dreaming', is dated 31 December 1897, and Lambert made the drawing at about the same time. The sketch is inscribed (presumably after the Breaker's death in 1902): 'The Breaker/ Horse poet shot for complicity in Boer murder/ affair/ sketched at Richmond NSW/ Hawkesbury River/ accompanying poem or verse written/ at about same time'.
The poem begins:
Oh, faintly the first stars twinkle and shine
As slowly the tints of the sunset wane,
Then it's 'boot and saddle', and through the pines, Across the river and over the plain.
There's a star that guides to a waiting girl,
And a kiss that is worth the midnight ride. –
Then a last farewell as the flowers unfurl
In the fresh'ning breezes of the morningtide
It ends:
Through the open window the sunlight streams
And the beams glint brightly on boot
and spur;
Gray Warwick's on grass, whilst his
rider dreams
Of a girl – and his parting words to her.
Now a shadow steals where the sun had shone,
And into the dreaming a phantom creeps
Of a tear-wet face, in the years agone –
Of one who is sleeping the dreamless sleep.
