text: Our own Splinter Cell: Blacklist review is forthcoming, but in an interesting post, the folks over at Lens of Truth have compared the graphical output of all three current consoles to see which renders Splinter Cell: Blacklist the best. You can see Sam Fisher's face rendered above by the PS3 and the Wii U, but where things start to get interesting is comparing results between the Xbox 360 and the other consoles. The Xbox 360 seems to have darker textures and washed out detail, noticeable on the basket below. Xbox 360 Version Wii U Version What do you think of the differences? Do you notice any? You can check out more shots of the first level of Blacklist on the original site to see a more comprehensive look at the difference between the PS3, Wii U, and Xbox 360 version of the title. local_offer Nintendo splinter cell blacklist ubisoft wii u stars Further Reading Consumer council in Europe alleges Nintendo i Ubisoft has more plans for the Switch Zorpix REALLY hard to tell. But to me Wii U just looks a tiny bit better than PS3 and quite a bit better than the 360. My main gripe with that site was that they didnt use the exact same screenshot from both versions every time. they were in the same area, but not the exact same, so some of the lighting was off and whatnot. However, these examples look identical 🙂 Mariokartfann Only thing is, for some reason, the Wii U pics are washed out. Other pics I've seen of it doesn't make it as washed out. I'd say that PS3 and Wii U are tied, with the main difference being the models/polygon rate or whatever juancamiloarq The news I've read have been talking about the better graphics the Wii U has delivered on this particular game. Although they have mentioned serious concerns about the poor performance they've got on the Wii U version (20fps and around). It's really sad to read this 🙁 Edit: Don't get me wrong, I'm not blaming the hardware. Actually, it's the developer's fault, non other. D.M.T You can't expect much from ports. Mark The reviews and analysis says I've seen say that the Wii U version stays constant with at least 26 fps. juancamiloarq "V-sync is permanently engaged for Nintendo's platform, adding to its credentials as one of the better-presented versions of the game overall – and it even outperforms the 360 during earlier in-engine cinematics. However, from the moment Sam Fisher enters the Paladin aircraft, it's clear this isn't to last. We suffer from lengthy bouts of 20fps performance during most briefing scenes here, plus similarly sluggish levels of refresh while at the heart of larger shoot-outs." Digital Foundry Elem187 Ahh yess Digital Foundry that tried to tell us Trine 2 was far worse on Wii U than ps3 and 360, but even the developers had to come out and prove DF wrong.. DF still hasn't acknowledged it…. their bias shows strongly… Even their NFS:MW comparison tries to be dismissive how much more visually superior it was on the Wii U. Both frame rate and texture quality were miles above anything the PS3/x360 could accomplish. juancamiloarq Well, I hope you are right, since I willing to get this game. fireheartis1 Digital Foundry is straight up lying here. I have the game and in the Paladin I get no less than 26fps, and in shoot-outs I do not see any refresh what so ever. What a bunch of butt hurt 360 fanboys that work for Digital Foundry man. sdmac200600 I seen it go to as low as 11 FPS in a review Brandon Betlej You seriously think that wii u screenshot looks better than the 360s? Im no xbox fan but that screenshot is much clearer Link What? You drunk bro?! Brandon Betlej Lol yea man wasted before noon you know how I do. But seriously that wii u screenshot is blurry idk what y'all are smokin Link Naww man… Lol but these slight little differences aren't going to make any effect to the game what so ever. So happy Tuesday. Brandon Betlej You couldn't be more right but this is about graphics not gameplay I agree to anyone who says the wii u version is the best Brandon Betlej sorry I was on my phone before and couldn't really see how detailed the wii u version is but im on my computer now and I agree that the wii u screenshot is better Chris Orr I admit the ground looks a little cloudy on the Wii U, but that is just because developers are working with the draw distance. every single thing other than a slight blur on the ground looks so much better on the Wii U. Draw distance really adds a lot if you look closely at the ground of both getting further back. The Wii U's version looks much better because of that. The trash on the ground does look worse. I will admit that. Oh, and the lighting on the Wii U is overall better based on these screenshots. Brandon Betlej Honestly now that im on my computer instead of my phone I completely agree. I can actually see the weapon on the wii u screenshot and it is a lot more detailed. I cant even see the gun on the xbox screenshot. I didn't think my phone would make a difference but I can see it now jay Dude their the same game. There's little to no difference. It's called a port. uPadWatcher What's the difference between a port and a multiplatform, jay? Mark A port is a game immediately based off a version of the same game. A game that is multiplatform means it has several versions of the game on different machines. For example, the Wii U version of Watch_Dogs is a port of the PS4 and Xbox One version and the game is multiplatform. Adrian Seems like wishful thinking man. They look the same. Jeffery02 I personally feel like the shadows on the Wii U are a bit more realistic than in the other 2. The 360 shadows are too dark and the PS3 shadows are too light. As far as which one is graphically superior, I'd say they are all the same in that sense. jay Well they SHOULDNT look any different. The games a port. Magnus Eriksson Hardly no difference at all. LopsidedPasta I hate comparisons like this. Unless the difference is WW vs WWHD obvious, I don't know which one is supposed to be better. But I DO know that the Wii U SHOULD be better. Tecpedz94 They look similar but if you look at a distance you can see the magazines on the floor bottom left they are clear to see on the xbox version and slightly fuzzy on the wiiu same with the wall in the back but they are similar and you cant compare the two when more Nintendo exclusives come they will be better in graphics. TULFich They should have donde what EA did with NFS Most wanted, adding the PC ver. Texture pack, now that is what devs should do on every Wii U ver. it can run them at a very well framerate 😀 aldo2410 Don't care about graphics betwen consoles, the best graphics allway will be on PC, but the best gameplay is allways on Nintendo consoles. Zorpix really? what if your PC doesnt have as good of specs as the game requires? Are the graphics better then? aldo2410 No, if your PC specs aren´t good, then you play Minecraft, No really what I'm trying to say is that the gameplay is the most important thing on a game thats why I bought a Wii U Zorpix my laptop can't run minecraft with a view distance other than tiny, but I can run TF2 at highest settings. Specs are just complete BS everywhere you go Mark I've heard that the Wii U version was the best as it had no screen tearing and was smooth throughout. Ashley King I've played through a bit of the game and haven't noticed any of that, but I've only done so on the GamePad. I need to play on the TV proper after work and the podcast today. Zuxs13 Did you get the disc copy or Digital copy? I've read there are terrible frame rate problems. Mercurio2054 i don't have my copy jet, but a coworker have one and he tell me that haven't feel the drop. most of the times you don't notice this drops. and some times, we don't know at what point can be true (the frame rate drop). http://www.lensoftruth.com/head2head-splinter-cell-blacklist-screenshot-comparison-and-analysis-ps3-vs-xbox-360-vs-wii-u/ fireheartis1 I've never noticed these "terrible frame rate problems" what so ever. The game looks great and it's very fun. It's worth picking up on the Wii U and that's all that matters man. Zuxs13 Its not all that maters. If it legitamately is having frame rate problems and has almost double the load times of the other versions, that is an issue to not buy it. I was asking if people who had the digital copy were finding to not have these issues as much or not. Tim van Broekhoven But Darksiders 2 had loads of screen tears while my ps3 version didnt have any noticable ones… Mark It turns out the Wii U version of Splinter Cell is using V-sync. Darksiders for PS3 could be using V-sync as well. Elem187 You are comparing a launch port game on Wii U to a port on PS3 where developers had almost 8 years of experience working with? come on man. Zuxs13 Digital Foundry said NOT to buy the Wii U version due to load times, and terrible frame rate issues. Mark Lens of Truth said the load times were a problem, but other than that, they said it was smooth; plus, no screen tearing. I mean everyone has their own analysis and opinion. Zuxs13 As much as I like the WIi U and will still get this version, the best non-PC version overall is the PS3. Looks almost as good but loads faster and has less frame rate issues than the Wii U. Mark I wish Ubisoft would actually take the time and build a next gen version for Wii U from the ground up; this game is pretty much a jazzed up port. But you know, Ubisoft has to meet time constraints so we can't have everything. Zuxs13 Yeah i wish they did too. It just seems funny that a company with just a hand full of people can make Nano Assault run in 1080p 60Fps in a matter of a few weeks and yet a giant company like Ubisoft can't get the same results with a game of this budget. Mark Couldn't agree more. Shin'en games (creators of Nano Assault) really knows what they are doing when it comes to program for the Wii U; I can't wait for them to unveil their new engine! It just further exposes the shit that big devs spew out of their mouths as false. NkoSekirei how about u stop trolling u douche and by the way no one is gonna listen to someone that tells them not to buy the wii u version seriously it seems digital foundry got some screw loose in their heads Zuxs13 How am I trolling? That is exactly what their article said was to wait on Buying the Wii U version until a patch came out to fix the frame rate problem. Im sorry I will re-post their article again so you can practice your reading skills. http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-splinter-cell-blacklist-face-off Zuxs13 wow so im the troll but you resort to name calling for no reason. I simply pointed out that another site found similar results as what are in this article but came to a different yet similar conclusion and you jump all over me like a 12 year old. oontz You're calling someone a douce just because he quoted another news site? Wow… get over yourself. Will.F. Martinez Looks the same, but IDC wiiu is still the better version WiiUisgaming The Wii U has is better than the other one in terms of lighting, but is hardly noticeable CEObrainz The lighting helps the Wii U version look better than the PS3, however the positioning of the camera in relation to the light source doesn't prove anything. Ducked Its just a port, there's not gonna be much of a difference. NintendoNoob The main selling point for the Wii U version is: No screen tearing, Gamepad features, better graphics, and MMMMMIIIIIIIVVVVVEEERRRSSSSEEEEEE only god can judge me In terms of graphics the wii u is very capable of using more horsepower in the hands of the right developers I think that with time you will see the wii u is graphical inferior to other consoles.Being that these are ports I think all consoles are being treated the same in terms of graphics their are minor differences here and there but to me its the gameplay that's the heart of the matter and with the tablet controller I think that's where the wii u has the upperhand and able to shine the most. Elem187 You misspelled "Superior"… the Wii U is graphically superior to other consoles. only god can judge me U right thanks for the correction meant to say superior. iamserious Lol I was thinking the same thing! Re4wii2008 The ground texture looks a little bit worse on Wii U but the walls and other things like the baskets look quiet a bit better actually! also the I can see more detail on the gun on his back on the Wii U Version! Edit: I'm also happy to hear that The Wii U Version has no screen tearing while PS3 has the most stable framerate (which is just slightly better the the Wii U version) the 360 seems to look the darkest (which is up to personal preference is you like that look better) but has the worse framerate! Alex oldgen console… Christopher Acuna Mario Kart > Forza all day! I don't give a fudge what anyone thinks. Mario Kart wins for me. 🙂 Chris Orr …okay so I can't tell if this comment is bashing the Wii U by comparing Forza with Mario Kart because of stats about its graphics and frame rate, or if it's a compliment to the Wii U for that same exact reason… In case you are bashing it: So you compared a cartoon game to a realistic game? that right there is a huge problem in your graphic comparison. Second, you can't judge a console on the fact that Forza (at least I think its Forza) is a launch title while Mario Kart wasn't. Finally, Just because a game isn't rendered in 1080p, that doesn't mean the console is bad since it is confirmed that the console can display 1080p. At that point it is just the developers mistake. The Wii U is most definitely a next gen console because of the game pad as well as its power, even if its power is a little less than xbox one and ps4. In case you are complimenting it: I agree with you that the "oldgen console" comment of the Wii U is ridiculous. the stats just show that it can play games with just as high quality. Only thing is Forza is a launch game while Mario Kart wasn't… oh well, Mario Kart is worth the wait. Link Mario kart is insanely fun! Forza is…pretty. Yaboydd Id rather play mario kart then Forza anytime. PlayboyPacquiao People only play those realistic racing games because they can't drive good cars in real life. Believe it or not, it's a REAL FACT.. aldo2410 I play Mario Kart because in the real life I can't drive a Go kart with an air glider or use a mushroom to boost my car but mostly I play it for having fun, I often play Forza to….. I don't know why I used to play it. jay OMG Gregg Cerenzio Bowser looks flippin' awesome. That is some serious art there. WiiU all day Eduardo i bet that mario kart will sell about 4 to 5 times more than forza. just a fact. Gregg Cerenzio Mario Kart over that crap anyday. Rock on sdmac200600 You can't compare two different art styles idiot… Andreas Sunde Comparing a bullshot to gameplay footage… aldo2410 Mario Kart beats Forza in terms of fun and when you're having fun you don't care about graphics oontz Holy JAGGIES!!!! Nintendo needs to turn up the Anti Aliasing big time. Hopefully the retail copy looks better than that. ezquimacore it's a port. Lusunup Omg Fantism! incoming!>_< TheGamerGeek128 Lighting might be a bit better and the textures might be a bit crisper on Wii U but other than that, they're identical. EDIT: Of course, that's only going off of these screenshots. Zuxs13 Did you see the one where Digital Foundry compared all the systems. Graphics wise the Wii U ruled, but it sucked in almost all other categories. http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2013/08/splinter_cell_blacklist_wii_u_versions_performance_put_under_the_spotlight jay 1. How is this news? 2. Comparing screenshots is like comparing facebook photos of girlfriends. 3. ITS A FU**ING PORT!! You're not supposed to see a difference. Zuxs13 Well its relevant for those who have multiple consoles and are looking for the best performing version to get. Ultimatley the PS3 version of this game is the best (which is rare). So that is important to people spending $50-$60 on a game. Linkamus I disagree… if you watch the videos on the source site, you would see that the WiiU dominated the competition. FPS and Screen Tear performance on WiiU just outclassed the other two machines. Good display of power for those who like to compare WiiU to current gen. Zuxs13 Here read this and you will see where I am getting more information from. http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2013/08/splinter_cell_blacklist_wii_u_versions_performance_put_under_the_spotlight Mercurio2054 some times u don't realize the frame rate drop. i will buy the wii u version, have better graphic, game play, ant the frame rate is not an issue. it's not a constant drop, and shadows looks in some times better than the pc version. in some cases the ps3 and xbox drop the 30 fps and not the wii u. Zuxs13 That still doesn't change the load times. And overall the PS3/xbox were more consistent on the frame rate than the Wii U. I agree the game play should be better on the WIi U, so that's up to you to decide what matters more, frustrating frame rates and load times, or better game play. Mercurio2054 my central point is that there's no " frustrating frame rates". when you play you almost don't feel this. when you play on line you notice this, and lot more in computer (i don't know why). Zuxs13 Well I don't own this game, i am going off what the Digital Foundry said about the Wii U version. I know i owned COD BO2 and i didn't really notice much frame rate issues but there were reports of this being the case. Also the review didn't specify if this was an issue with the disc based copy only or the digital copy of the game. Zuxs13 frame rate video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4qa0GhFnQy0 fireheartis1 Dude I just don't get how they are so different unless you actually watch the numbers. I watched all three scenes at once and they all moved at the same speed. There was absolutely no difference what so ever. I'm not sure how these fps testers work, but if you ask me I think the numbers are made up man. sdmac200600 The Wii U version went to as low as 11 FPS though…The only thing that the Wii u had an advantage was no screen tearing. Zuxs13 Also the PS3 looks great in these videos and screen shots as well. But has little load times when you install to your Harddrive, the Wii U doesnt offer that option. There is also frame rate issues on the Wii U, the link i posted says frame rates drop to the low 20's that is terrible (could be fixed with a patch though) So I still would chose PS3 for performance. Wii U for the awesome Game Pad features. Phil Lukems It's obvious that the Wii-U looks slightly better. When you look closely at the skin and eyes on the Wii-u version it's shaded more and has a sharpness. Although the PS3 one holds up nicely the Wii-U one is slightly cleaner and has more robust shading and textures, Teplán Csaba GJ! Next gen Wii U vs Current gen Xbox360 and PS3 ! Rly intresting. We would like to see a WiiU/Xbox1/PS4 ! Gregg Cerenzio The WiiU rocks. So under appreciated (by NON-owners that is). They all look good, but yes, the 360 one looked poor compared to the WiiU shot. Antar Rodríguez LOL, how can u compare this, the game is made with the same game engine in all 3 consoles meaning they have same graphics, the only difference that can be distinguished are shadow position and light direction wich differs from console to console in the same game, consoles work like pcs the consoles GPU gives enough space and power for the game engine but the game engine is the one that shows of the graphic, each game engine is within each game disc or digital file (download) Tom Greene Look at the papers on the floor in the 360 U comparison david jarman Who cares. Blacklist wasn't built from the ground up with wii u or playstation 3 architecture in mind. Adi ok im only interested in mario/zelda games. Wiiu is shit, i really hope its was a next gen console but is not. Mark If you think the Wii U is shit, why are you here? ETeach It's called trolling. Welcome to the internet… Mark You think I don't know that? I accidentally fed him. NkoSekirei ignore him he eats $hit for breakfest,lunch and dinner cause hes a troll Mercurio2054 + ubi work with nvidia tech TheBoldman67 Yeah, the Wii U has higher textures. Yugi nope http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-splinter-cell-blacklist-face-off uPadWatcher Never believe what you read on the world wide web, Yuge. Daniel Gonzalez Just like this article? that guy Is it possible to fix the FPS issue on the wii u with a patch? If so i don't plan on getting the other versions Mbele Who cares if the textures have 2p higher resolution if the framerate is 20fps (with current gen games ffs!). The Wii U hardware seems so poorly designed its ridiculous. Dez The real graphical difference with the Wii U is all about the added detail and correction of skin coloration. Remember on the PS2 how characters had really dark orange skin? The PS3 has enough power to better render skin so it is more realistic, but it is faded and lacking detail. The Wii U is the first console that actually has a realistic amount of detail and proper skin coloration. The graphical differences won't be as big this generation, the average consumer will actually be less swayed than before since it is harder to determine the differences. Only the major graphics whores will really harp on that fact still. The one thing I will give the 8th consoles is that they are the first line that is properly suited for tackling photorealism outside of the PC master race. The limitations of the 7th generation is evident in the hands and faces of characters, they are heavily pixelated in close shots, I found it incredibly obvious in Assassin's Creed II. It really breaks the immersion when you see those limitations. Thankfully this generation there is sufficient power to correct this issue and make humans actually look human. The textures on clothing, ability to handle greater particle effects, and other PC textures, and some new shaders are about all you are going to see this generation. It really isn't going to be as grossly obvious as before. I appreciate the improvement in textures, but don't count on graphics being a major selling point any longer. Nintendo has this generation in the bag so long as they don't slip up and allow another drought to happen. Wii U needs a lot of software throughout its lifespan to keep it healthy and profitable. Gecko Altair Windwaker HD release date discovered! http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2013/08/the_legend_of_zelda_the_wind_waker_hd_confirmed_for_4th_october_in_north_america Sylux I've seen a video on this the other day on YouTube someone did a lot of research and according his findings WiiU is definite version during cutscenes it has a lower framerate but during gameplay WiiU is superior to the other consoles. Let me look up the video and I'll link it in this comment via an edit, can't copy paste very well through cellphone so have to use the big computer. Edit: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DNR6iRFbOg0 Aleks I sold my 360 monthes ago. Hated all those ads for crap! I have a Wii U now and will pick up a Ps4. I dont understand how the WiiU pic above is preferred? I really like the sharp, deep black on the 360 version. Definitely over the WiiU foggy, dusty atmosphere look. Also in the bottom left of the 360 pic theres a RED line or mark on one of the papers on the ground. The WiiU pic doesnt hardly show it. I do understand its new hardware blah blah blah, but the WiiU pic does NOT win this STILL PHOTO contest. Frame rate seemes to be a different story, so thats good. Linskarmo I think these comparison things are rather silly. The difference between ports probably isn't much very often unless the game is fully optimized for each system. Shadao To me personally, I can't tell the difference. And I shouldn't because Splinter Cell's gameplay looks fun to try out. fireheartis1 I don't care about the graphical comparison of the different ports. What I care about is that the Wii U version is awesome with the GamePad features. The thing that excited me about the Wii U was being able to get my next weapon and using it as a camera to spy on my enemies. Splinter Cell does a great job of doing this. If your going to compare something screw the graphics I want to see the features compared on each version. Kevin Neil As far as I can tell, the Wii U looks to have slightly higher quality textures and maybe better shading. However it is hard to tell as it could be caused by a darker screen. As for the screenshots below, it is evident that the Wii U does have lower settings in anisotropic filtering. It's not a huge detail though, but I am curious as to why it's lower since that one feature typically is not very CPU/GPU hungry. In many cases, it makes little performance difference if set to lowest or highest. Now of course still images mean nothing when what really matters is how it runs when in motion. Most games these days run at 30 frames per second on the 360 and PS3. Not sure what the Wii U is set to run at, but I would figure 60 frames per second considering the newer hardware. Jared Garcia If everyone remembers, Ubisoft stated that they cut development of the Wii U version short so it could be released simultaneously with the other consoles. So given that everything wasn't set in, like the offline co op, maybe loading and an "HD texture pack" weren't put in.

I'm in the middle of a long deserted road.
I turn the engine off and a gust of wind sweep pass.
I tried to recall where I've left but the dryness of this place decays my mind.
I desperately fan myself with this postcard I was meant to mail but all it gave was a whisper-like aspiration.
Above me was the sun shining with all its might. I'd shine too if it wasn't for this stupid heat.
All I remember was telling a joke, laughing at it, drinking with my friends, finished my cocktail, showered, got a phone call, stabbed, cried, drove off and now I'm here.

The house has recently been renovated to an exceptionally high standard, with a panelled library and the main drawing-room on the first floor. The dining room seats 26 and has spectacular views across the sea. Young of all ages will welcome the high tech sitting room and the Great Hall in which to dance a reel or just soak up the atmosphere. The walls display a good collection of Scottish contemporary art, much of which has been commissioned.
WE LOVE ROSHVEN! We (that's me, Angus MacDonald, and my wife, Michie) fell in love with the building, its potential and its unbelievable view at first sight, but the work that has gone into its renovation has taken a long long time and went into the finest detail. The result pleases us and we think it creates an atmosphere of extreme comfort and peace, suiting the location. It's our home and, if you feel you would like to sample its atmosphere and take a holiday here, we hope you will treat it with care and consideration.

Although my choice of frosting color may have been a poor choice (green? what was I thinking?), making these scrumptious glazed sugar cookies won't be! Different that most sugar cookies, these are thicker, have wonderful flavor from a hint of lemon extract (optional), are softish in the center and dipped in the glaze for full top-of-cookie coverage (When it comes to frosting I do not believe in the "less-is-more" theory).
Unlike so many sugar cookie recipes, this dough is a pleasure to work with. It doesn't need to be chilled once made in order to be rolled out – you can start cutting out your cookies immediately. And as long as you keep your work surface lightly floured there are no 'sticking' issues. The frosting/glaze is delicious and hardens nicely for bagging but is not at all rock hard like royal icing. I'm sure you'll love it!
Whenever I made these cookies I make them in two sizes: I use a round, 2 1/2″ diameter cooking cutter for the large and a round 1 1/2″ diameter cooking cutter for the small. I love having small ones in my freezer – they are perfectly sized when I'm craving something sweet but don't want to overindulge on the calorie count.
The sugar cookie recipe comes from an excellent baker friend of mine that posted her recipe at www.eat.at. along with the frosting recipe. I've modified the recipe below to include an extra egg yolk and to call for lemon extract instead of the original almond.
Sugar Cookies
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 Tbsp. milk
- 2 tsp. baking powder
- 3 1/2 cups flour
- 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp. lemon extract (optional)
- Preheat the oven to 325 F. Either spray two cookie sheets with non-stick cooking spray (preferably one made for baking that has flour in it) or cover each sheet with parchment.
- Cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg, egg yolk, milk and extracts and mix well. Add the baking powder and flour a bit each time, incorporating it into the dough well after each addition.
- Lightly flour a board to roll out your dough on. Divide dough in quarters and roll out out one quarter, remembering to lightly flour your rolling pin too. Roll to a 1/4″ to 1/3″ thickness and cut with your favorite cookie cutters.* Place on prepared baking sheets.
- Bake for approximately 14 minutes. At that point that should be still be pale, with perhaps a bit of brown starting. That's when to take them out if you want them to have tender centers. Cool. If there is remaining dough, repeat steps 3 and 4.
Sugar Baby Frosting
- 1 (32 oz.) package confectioners' sugar
- 1/3 cup evaporated milk (you can use skimmed)
- 1/3 cup white corn syrup
- 1 tsp. pure vanilla
- 1/3 cup boiling water
- Combine milk, syrup and vanilla in a bowl. Add boiling water and then blend together with an electric mixer.
- Add confectioners' sugar and continue mixing until smooth. The frosting for the sugar cookies is similar to a glaze consistency. Add and blend food coloring if using.
- To glaze. Pick up a cook and dip on side fully into the glaze. Remove, letting excess drip off. Set on wire rack to harden. (this does get a bit messy…but so worth it!).
*Because of the addition of 2 egg yolks and the whites from 1 egg these may puff up ever so slightly when baking. So you may not want to use a cookie cutter with delicate shaping to it.

ONE Championship once again electrified the Singapore Indoor Stadium as they played host to yet another evening of mixed martial arts (MMA) action. ONE: Dynasty of Heroes showcased the absolute best in local and international martial arts talent, featuring a packed card of compelling bouts that left the crowd as well as the Stomp Team on the edge of their seats.
In the main event, ONE Women's Atomweight World Champion Angela Lee who fights out of Singapore retained her title with a spectacular submission finish over top contender Istela Nunes of Brazil.
In the exciting showdown between two talented females, "Unstoppable" Angela Lee overcame a spirited performance from challenger Istela Nunes to win by submission in the second round. After catching Nunes with a twister in the first stanza, the bout appeared all but over. However, through sheer willpower and determination, Nunes was able to power through the situation and survive. In the second round, Lee went right back to work on the ground, finishing Nunes with an anaconda choke to retain her title.
"I really love you guys and it's an honour to fighter here (in Singapore) as your champion. To everyone who is watching from all around the world, thank you guys so much, it means the world to me," said Lee in the post-fight interview. "The anaconda choke is one of our favourites, so I was really happy to win with that submission tonight."
In the co-main event, reigning ONE Welterweight World Champion and one of the best fighters in the world pound-for-pound, Ben "Funky" Askren of the United States, easily took care of previously unbeaten Agilan "Alligator" Thani of Malaysia.
The American took his younger foe down to the mat at will with his world-class wrestling and finishing him with an arm triangle choke. On the mat, the former US Olympian caught Thani in a mounted crucifix and pounded on the Malaysian before locking in the fight-ending submission just past the two-minute mark of the first round.
"Agilan has a great story, he's a young kid, and this is not the last time we're going to see him," said Askren in the post-fight interview. Askren then proceeded to call out ONE Middleweight World Champion Vitaly Bigdash for a possible cross-division showdown.
Singaporean lightweight prospect Amir Khan of Evolve MMA made quick work of opponent Rajinder Singh Meena, wasting no time in bringing the fight to the ground with a successful takedown. Once on the ground, Khan easily took full mount and punished Meena with punches and elbows. Meena succumbed shortly after, as the referee deemed him unable to continue. The technical knockout finish earned Khan his fourth straight victory.
Local fighter Tiffany "Soul Crusher" Teo turned in another complete performance, dominating the United States' Rebecca Heintzman-Rozewski over three rounds to claim victory in front of her hometown crowd. Teo used her accurate striking to tag Heintzman-Rozewski repeatedly with left and right hand combinations while threatening with various submissions on the ground. All three judges judges scored the bout in favor of Teo who wins by unanimous decision.
Thai-Japanese female atomweight prospect Rika "Tinydoll" Ishige returned to the ONE Championship cage against Indonesian wrestling champion Nita Dea, and her performance certainly did not disappoint. Ishige once again proved her mettle on the ground with another technical grappling showcase, catching her opponent in two armbar attempts, ultimately winning by rear naked choke midway into the first round.

What is a Progressive Patriot? In Civil Disobedience, Henry David Thoreau wrote the following:
The mass of men serve the state thus, not as men mainly, but as machines, with their bodies. They are the standing army, and the militia, jailers, constables, posse comitatus, etc. In most cases there is no free exercise whatever of the judgement or of the moral sense; but they put themselves on a level with wood and earth and stones; and wooden men can perhaps be manufactured that will serve the purpose as well. Such command no more respect than men of straw or a lump of dirt. They have the same sort of worth only as horses and dogs. Yet such as these even are commonly esteemed good citizens. Others -- as most legislators, politicians, lawyers, ministers, and office-holders -- serve the state chiefly with their heads; and, as the rarely make any moral distinctions, they are as likely to serve the devil, without intending it, as God. A very few -- as heroes, patriots, martyrs, reformers in the great sense, and men -- serve the state with their consciences also, and so necessarily resist it for the most part; and they are commonly treated as enemies by it.
So, progressive patriots are who serves the state with their consciences.
Politics Plus introduced the Progressive Patriot Award to honor bloggers with the courage to stand up and oppose those in power when they abuse that power to the detriment of the people and fight for progressive ideals, such as human rights, tolerance, non-aggression, freedom and equity. If you receive this award from me or another blogger, please do the following to accept it. Display the award graphic of your choice (or both) proudly in your sidebar. Copy this paragraph (more, if you wish) into a post on your blog. In that post, pass the award on to a minimum of three and a maximum of five deserving bloggers. If you receive the award from another blogger, reply to this message HERE with a comment including the name and URL of your blog and the identity and date of the blogger who awarded it to you. You will then be added to a special blogroll of Progressive Patriots.
*I was recommended for this award by it's AuthorTomCat which I first declined because my goal is to make a difference period. Any effort that gets in the way of that is not for me. After being walked through what to do by Tom I figured like it or not we are a community and those that are unique and make a difference must be recognized and know they are a valuable part of the whole! To that end whether they partake or hot my nominees are:

The present system of education in India based on modern alternative education. India is the home of alternative education where alternative education is used at a wide range. Purpose of modern education to fulfill the all basic needs and requirements of people in a standardized way. In India, alternative education is providing at private and public sectors both. With the passage of time, modern alternative education is increasing and improving its standard. Alternative education provides the home-based learning environment which helps to build the strong relationship between teacher and student.
With the increase of internet technology and connectivity, alternative education is providing a wide range of platform for its users. Alternative education provides each student their own educational plan, vocational plan social learning schedule. Modern alternative education provides a place where children can educate in the suitable environment with standardized curriculum.
Importance of Alternative Education:
Nowadays alternative education is very important for all because most of the time educational institutes do not have many objectives to teach the student so alternative programs help a lot to students for seeking their goals. Modern alternative education provides advanced methods of teaching for students. A student who suffers from lack of confidence can easily without any confusion learn at their home place. Alternative education strengthens the skills of students at a broad level. Alternative education made the world global village. Alternative teaching methods are easily available for students at a wide variety of range.
Need for Alternative Education in India:
Most of the time traditional education does not provide such facilities in educational institutes for the student because every student of the society has its own goals, objective, interest, and area of development. So Alternative education provides all information related to the need of student through the help of different websites, videos, and audios and online status. The dream of a number of lists of education portals India is to provide as much as practical and quality knowledge for students with proper planning.
Infrastructure Problem in India:
The use of modern Alternative education in India become too popular among students because in many cities of India educational atmosphere is not properly maintained schools do not have good infrastructure classrooms, kitchen, toilet, sitting arrangements are no well settled and no doubt physical safety is the basic need of student and an educational institution must be providing such facilitates. Whereas alternative education provides a safe area for the study where the student does not need any kind of infrastructure anywhere anytime student can learn with the help of professional teachers.
Role of Alternative Education in India:
In India, with the passage of time, the trend of traditional education is changing into alternative education. Alternative education of India is providing homeschooling, independent schooling, and self-education free in those areas where students do not have access to information. By seeking from alternative schools' students can mobilize their self-esteem. But India is not fully accepted the trend of alternative education because the modern trend of teaching divided the mind of the students into different pieces. Therefore, in India, alternative education is not a peak people give more importance to practical work rather they copy any kind material from Google.

Clinically isolated syndrome
Clinically isolated syndrome (CIS) is the first episode suggestive of demyelination 1,2. It can either be monofocal (single lesion) or multifocal 1,2. Not all patients with CIS will go on to develop multiple sclerosis however if at presentation there are changes on MRI suggestive of MS, then the chances of progressing to MS are high 1.
Latest McDonalds criteria (2017) allows an early diagnosis to be made solely on basis of dissemination in space on MRI, and the presence of CSF-specific oligoclonal bands, without the need for demonstration of dissemination in time on MRI.

Here's what they got:
|Give thanks for yummy after dinner mints!
Cute, eh? They are quick and easy to make as well!
To make a little gift package like this begin with a strip of DSP or card stock cut to 8" x 2". I used "Color Me Autumn" from the Holiday Catalogue for these gifts. Using the Scalloped Tag Topper punch both ends of your paper. Score the paper at 3" and 5" then fold up, add treats (I used a little SNAIL to secure my mints) and tie with ribbon of your choice.
To make the sentiment I used the "Good Greetings" stamp set and long retired stamp set that I found in my mother's stash.
You can earn the Good Greetings stamp set free....contact me to learn how!

If you like a minimalistic home screen, then we have got a neat little trick that can be helpful in keeping it that way. In this tutorial we will share with you a clever trick that allows iPhone and iPad users to create folders without names. Using this technique you can have as many nameless folders as you want and achieve a minimalistic look for your iPhone's home screen that is not normally possible.
The trick involves using an invisible Braille Unicode character that takes up space in the folder name. While this invisible character tricks iOS into considering the folder has a name, you get a minimalistic nameless folder.
You can make folders without name by following the steps below.
1. Copy the character between the brackets below.[⠀]
2. Enter the wiggle mode by tapping and holding on any app's icon.
3. Once you are in the wiggle mode open the folder you want to make nameless.
4. Now tap on the 'x' button in order to remove the existing name of the folder.
5. Next tap and hold on the folder name area and tap on the paste button to enter the braille character you copied in step 1.
6. Finally tap on the 'Done' button from the keyboard and exit the folder.
That's it! Now your folder is nameless. You can repeat these steps unlimited times and make every folder on your device nameless.

HEALTH watchdogs in North Wales were last night accused of "capitulating" over a controversial shake-up in hospital services.
The Federation of Community Health Councils in Conwy has now declared broad support for the changes despite lingering concerns.
One campaigner opposed to plans to downgrade Llandudno hospital and close St Asaph and Abergele yesterday threatened to quit Conwy CHC in protest.
And another said last night: "This is a significant blow to the campaign and a climb-down."
It followed face-to-face meetings with Conwy Local Health Board and the Assembly government's regional NHS officials.
The agreement means health minister Dr Brian Gibbons will not now be called in to settle the dispute, although the CHC said it reserved the right to refer issues to him later.
Thousands of people in the Llandudno area signed petitions against the withdrawal of coronary care and breast cancer services from the local hospital.
But a note of the talks between the CHC and health officials revealed agreed support for:
restructuring under the "Designed for North Wales" agenda with the CHC seeking assurances no services will transfer from hospitals without alternatives in place;
acute services consolidated in the three main general hospitals at Bangor, Bodelwyddan and Wrexham;
acute medical and coronary care services at Llandudno Hospital transfer to Ysbyty Gwynedd and/or Ysbyty Glan Clwyd once the board is assured by North West Wales, Conwy & Denbighshire and the Welsh Ambulance Services NHS Trusts, that effective services are in place.
The CHC demanded sufficient capacity would be available;
further work to consider the development of Llandudno as the breast surgery centre for the North West Wales and Conwy & Denbighshire. An independent breast services expert asked to take part in a six months review;
transfer of orthopaedic services from Abergele to Glan Clwyd and ophthalmology from St Asaph to Glan Clwyd or alternative site. The movement of stroke rehabilitation services to more suitable accommodation.
In response to the CHCs' concerns Conwy health board stressed Llandudno hospital's future as a "major and important role in providing diagnostic, treatment and rehabilitation services for local residents and a wider catchment area".
Chief officer of Conwy CHCs Christine Jones said the decisions received "overwhelming support" from the community health council.
She denied the patients' watchdogs had withdrawn their earlier objections but said they would now consider the NHS plans.
But Plaid Cymru councillor and CHC member Phil Edwards said: "This is a very significant change. They should give voice to the people's concerns.
"I feel I now have to consider my position as a member of the CHC. I think it has become untenable.
"I could understand that the public might conclude that the CHC had capitulated and this decision could severely undermine their confidence in our ability as a body to impartially represent them."
Gareth Jones, a Plaid councillor in Llandudno, said: "I'm bitterly disappointed.
"It means they have signed up for Designed for North Wales and let the community down.
"They should have stood their ground and said they were against the downgrading."
An Assembly government spokesman said: "The health minister will outline the latest position on delivering the Welsh Assembly Government's 10-year health strategy Designed for Life on Wednesday."

Just one running back—Oakland's Josh Jacobs—was chosen among the top 50 picks in last year's draft. Maybe that shouldn't come as a surprise—the position's inherently short shelf life along with an increased reliance on analytics have led many to devalue running backs.
However, this year's backfield crop should fare better with D'Andre Swift and Jonathan Taylor positioned as fringe first-rounders and the trio of J.K. Dobbins, Cam Akers and Clyde Edwards-Helaire all candidates to come off the board in Day 2. The running back pool is flush with talent, but only a handful of teams are hiring right now. Here are six teams likely to dip into the running-back waters when the draft kicks off on April 23.
Kansas City Chiefs
Damien Williams doesn't have the pedigree of a Saquon Barkley or Ezekiel Elliott (he heard crickets at the 2014 Draft), but that hasn't stopped him from pouring on 10 touchdowns over his last two seasons. Williams has arguably overachieved since linking up with Kansas City in '18, but he's never resembled anything close to a three-down back, topping 100 carries just once in his six NFL seasons.
No one would bat an eye if KC stood pat, though there's an equal probability the Chiefs—seeing their championship window as open as it will ever be—decide to pounce on a marquee ball-carrier in the first round. LSU's Clyde Edwards-Helaire and Utah standout Zack Moss both met with Kansas City at the Combine, suggesting the Chiefs are interested in adding a piece to complement Williams and Darwin Thompson, who played sparingly as a sixth-round rookie in 2019.
Miami Dolphins
Miami's running-back stable has been a revolving door of late with Jay Ajayi, Kenyan Drake, Damien Williams and Mark Walton among the team's many backfield casualties. The Dolphins addressed their running-back need by doling out a two-year contract to Jordan Howard in free agency, but given his shortcomings (he's more of a two-down thumper than a true workhorse), Howard is probably more of a Band-Aid than a long-term answer.
A two-time 1,000-yard rusher with the Bears, Howard should at least be an improvement on incumbent Kalen Ballage, who tanked as the Fins' de facto bell-cow in 2019 (1.8 yards per carry). Miami has other problems to address—quarterback and left tackle chief among them—though luckily the Dolphins boast plenty of draft capital with three first-round selections (Nos. 5, 18 and 26) and 14 picks overall. In particular, Jonathan Taylor, who amazed with a blistering 4.39 at the Combine in February—an astonishing clip for an athlete his size—would look excellent in Dolphins teal and orange.
Los Angeles Chargers
Running back isn't L.A.'s most pressing need. Even with Melvin Gordon off to Denver (he defected to the division-rival Broncos in free agency), the Chargers still have Swiss Army knife Austin Ekeler—recent recipient of a four-year, $24.5 million extension—in their stable. Ekeler accumulated an impressive 93 catches for 993 yards and eight touchdowns out of the Bolts' backfield last year, though, with the exception of Gordon's early-season holdout in 2019, he's never been afforded workhorse volume.
It remains to be seen whether Los Angeles views Ekeler as a featured runner or the committee back he's been throughout his career. The Chargers will almost certainly fill their quarterback void in Round 1—my RADIO.COM colleague Tim Kelly has them trading up for Alabama's Tua Tagavailoa in his latest mock. But don't be shocked if LA adds a power back (A.J. Dillon of Boston College would do nicely) to pair with Ekeler in one of the later rounds.
Los Angeles Rams
Los Angeles has a Todd Gurley-sized hole to fill in its backfield and with the draft just weeks away, reinforcements may be in order. Getting Gurley's contract off the books was an easy call for the Rams, who are looking to shed cap space any way they can, but now what? College All-American Darrell Henderson could be poised for a feature role, though his rookie-year contributions were less than inspiring (3.8 yards per carry, no touchdowns). Short-yardage hammer Malcolm Brown should also be in that mix after vulturing five touchdowns with Gurley hobbled throughout 2019.
While not headed for a full rebuild—Los Angeles can ill afford to squander any more of Aaron Donald's prime—the Rams could view the upcoming 2020 campaign as a transitional year of sorts, bridging the gap between their Super Bowl runner-up finish in 2018 and whatever comes next. If the Rams in their current post-Gurley incarnation are looking for a fresh backfield face, the draft should provide options. However, with only two picks in the top 100 (52nd and 84th overall), rolling the dice on another ball-carrier may not be the best use of their dangerously limited draft capital.
Pittsburgh Steelers
Long-time beat reporter Ed Bouchette of The Athletic has been adamant that Pittsburgh will draft a running back to replace injury-prone James Conner, who is headed into the final year of his rookie contract. It's not a bad hunch with Conner proving unreliable and former college tight end Jaylen Samuels looking similarly ill-equipped to shoulder Pittsburgh's backfield load (2.7 yards per carry last season). Fourth-rounder Benny Snell had his moments as a rookie in 2019, but his lack of receiving expertise and questionable athleticism are both deterrents to his long-term future as an NFL difference-maker.
Pittsburgh's backfield simply hasn't been the same since Le'Veon Bell's year-long holdout and subsequent free-agent exodus. It's anyone's guess what they'll do when Roger Goodell calls the Steelers to the podium later this month, though Pittsburgh has certainly done its due diligence at the running-back position, breaking bread with Zack Moss of Utah and Florida State's Cam Akers at February's NFL Combine.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Many are excited over the prospect of newcomer Tom Brady slinging passes to Pro Bowl receivers Chris Godwin and Mike Evans, but the Bucs' backfield is still a work in progress. Selecting a running back at 14th overall would probably be a reach. Bolstering the O line in front of Brady (who, even in his younger years, was never the fleetest of foot) should take precedence in the first round, though Tampa Bay's running-back deficiency will need to be addressed at some point, particularly after punting the position in free agency.
The Buccaneers still have 2018 second-rounder Ronald Jones at their disposal if they choose to stay in house. The 22-year-old USC alum has room to grow, though it's concerning he's never risen above committee status in Tampa, even when his only competition the past two seasons has been undrafted plodder Peyton Barber (now a member of the Washington Redskins). The Buccaneers have already cast a wide net in their backfield search, meeting with the likes of Cam Akers, DeeJay Dallas, Clyde Edwards-Helaire, Antonio Gibson, JaMycal Hasty, Jason Huntley, Zack Moss, D'Andre Swift, Jonathan Taylor and Patrick Taylor on the Combine and Pro Day circuits.

Write-up1 (as at 18/12/2010 19:58:05): Daniel Dennett – Conditions of Personhood
Dennett suggests that the concepts of "person" and "human being" are not necessarily co-extensive. He also distinguishes the two intertwined notions of personhood – moral and metaphysical. He defends the following 6 "themes" as necessary conditions of personhood:
Dennett addresses 3 issues to do with these 6 themes:
In this essay, rather than address Dennett's 3 issues directly, I wish to address the following 6 questions:
I have to admit that this is a first draft and something of a rushed job. My aim at this stage is to generate ideas quickly rather than ensure the argument is fully rigorous. I'm afraid I've used Dennett's paper more as a jumping off point, and have not considered his actual arguments as much as I should. I've included hyperlinks to topics I've written before, as a way of airing them and avoiding needless repetition, though the primary aim of this essay is to provide some continuous text for discussion, rather than exemplifying the approach of my research proposal (from where these notes come) which is almost all footnotes.
My aim in reviewing this paper is to get some sort of handle on what a person might be. The aim of my thesis will be to demonstrate that human persons are phase sortals of human animals, and that consequently (given the falsehood of mind/body dualism) that such hoped-for events such as resurrection are metaphysically impossible. I'm not arguing for any of this here, just motivating the consideration of this topic.

If you're a student or teacher of yoga, and you're serious about deepening your knowledge of the source texts behind the practice, you need to check this out.
I met these two amazing humans last summer at Raghunath's farm in Chatham, NY at a Bhakti retreat. They are both wonderful teachers and the weekend was joy made real. The experience was truly moving – kirtan, satsang, asana – and afterwards I joined the Zoom group of students tuning in at 5am to the daily reading of the Srimad Bhagavatam that wsa already underway at that time.
For 2020, Raghunath and Kaustubha have created a podcast with the daily reading and have restarted at the beginning of the Bhagavatam. Jump into this beautiful journey – the conversation is rich and it will deepen your understanding of yoga, so succinctly defined by Kaustubha Das as "a practice which empowers one to overcome the obstacle of the mind, for the purpose of the self experiencing it's own true nature."
Wishing you a mindful 2020.

Let's just get it out there right away: I've never cooked a stew before. Not in all the years I've been cooking. Not even during my cooking challenge. Clearly, I needed to stop stewing over my cooking challenge and just make the darn thing.
Woe is me
Incredibly, like last month's recipe, I was hit with yet another respiratory battle. This time, just your garden variety cold (sneezes, runny nose, cough, sore throat).
Maybe it was the month-plus tussle with bronchitis, but this cold proved similarly tough to banish from my system. I'm probably back to high 90 percentile, but geez.
As I've stated before, I'm a crummy sick person. While I don't get particularly whiny, I do get angry that my body could possibly get afflicted with the weaknesses known to lesser mortals.
Fortunately, as I also like to point out, I live alone. So, mercifully, no one is around to see my infantile outbursts and I can easily portray a beatific and serene attitude to the family and friend calls.
Still, I had enough of stewing over my illness. I decided it was time to get stewing on my cooking challenge.
The internet remains my friend
As usual, I began browsing the 'net for ideas. As stew has probably been around since Og made fire, there are quite a few options out there.
Generally, I pick two that I like and print them out (to put in my recipe notebook). Most people who cook and/or have cooked a stew know the process is pretty easy.
Of course, it has the dreaded flour as part of the recipe. Bleh. Flour, corn starch and the like. Messy and frustrating (for me). Fortunately, one of the recipes added the flour mid-cooking. Meesa like (ugh. sorry, no one should ever reference that film.)
The high price of oil
One thing that does get me stewing during my cooking challenge is oil. Specifically, cooking with it.
Despite having been cooking for all of my private home life, now closing in on 40 years, I don't seem to be able to "master" cooking with oil. Or, rather, cooking without making a mess.
I mean, jeepers, this time I was heating the oil in a dutch oven. Those things are like 3 feet high (fine, about 10 inches). How the heck does the oil still spit out all over the stove top (and the counter)?
It's not the temperature, that's what the recipe asks for. It's not the amount, that's what the recipe asks for. Can someone please, please, for all that is holy in the universe, explain to me why I can't cook with oil without making a mess??
Moving on.
Chunky vs. bite-size
Last to go in the stew are the carrots and potatoes. Looking at the recipes, I see that they want monster pieces of both. What's up with that?
So, while I usually follow any recipe to a tee the first time I make the dish, this I could not do. Thus, my carrots get cut in half-inch rounds, not inch (or larger, in one recipe). And the potatoes become bite-size cubes, not quarters.
The cooking itself is embarrassingly easy. Just set the oven at 325 degrees, 2 hours for meat and onions, 1 more hour for potatoes and carrots.
Stewing over my cooking challenge
And voila! As you can see, it comes out nice and thick and…uh…stewy.
I had this nice plateful and…had to restrain myself from going back for more. I mean, it was tasty!
And, in one of those odd situations that probably shows up somewhere as a Murphy's corollary, for the first time ever, I didn't have enough left to feed twelve people. Wah!
So, I was left stewing over my cooking challenge for a reason never before faced – I didn't make enough! But, yeah, boy, that was some good stew!
