WASHINGTON -- As economic policy goes, experts say, the automatic spending cuts that kick in today are -- to use a technical term -- bone-headed.
Fortunately, the self-inflicted wound isn't going to leave a deep scar on an economy that is otherwise looking pretty good. It's a fiscal speed bump on the road to economic recovery, which is why the stock market is nearing an all-time high despite Washington's latest display of legislative paralysis.
That's a marked change from the past two years, when budget battles rattled consumer and business confidence and triggered big selloffs.
"Businesses and consumers have begun to look away from the histrionics and the battles going on in Washington,'' says Bernard Baumohl, chief global economist at the Economic Outlook Group. "They're beginning to realize that organic growth in the private economy is beginning to pick up speed.''
From Wall Street to Main Street, Americans are too busy spending, hiring and investing to panic over Washington's latest budgetary melodrama.
They've seen this movie before. And this time, the ending doesn't scare them.
Even with today's trigger date for the cuts, Americans have been pouring money into the stock market. The Dow Jones industrial average has jumped nearly 8 percent this year and is approaching a record high.
Consumers are also growing more confident. And last month, orders for U.S. factory goods that reflect companies' investment plans surged by the most in more than a year. It showed that more businesses have become more upbeat about their prospects.
Only 27 percent of Americans surveyed for a Pew Research Center/USA Today poll last week said they had heard a lot about the looming spending cuts. And according to a Washington Post poll conducted late last month, less than a third of Americans said they thought the cuts would have a big impact on their own finances.
Why less concern this time?
The stakes aren't nearly as high as they were two months ago, when lawmakers engaged in a budget standoff over the so-called fiscal cliff. Economists had warned that the cliff's tax increases and spending cuts would send the economy back into recession if they remained in place for much of 2013.
By contrast, no one is talking about a recession this time, no matter what Congress does or doesn't do. The financial squeeze will be milder. And it will be delayed.
For one thing, the cuts are smaller than they seem: Actual spending will likely drop $44 billion in the budget year that ends Sept. 30, according to the Congressional Budget. That's only slightly more than 1 percent of federal spending.
Of that, about 80 percent will come from discretionary programs, which includes everything from environmental protection to defense spending. The rest will come from Medicare and other entitlement programs.
What's more, federal agencies must give workers a month's notice before imposing furloughs, which will likely force many to take one day a week of unpaid leave indefinitely. So the pay and spending power of government workers and many contractors won't be affected until April at the earliest.

Cadillac, Michigan 1 course · 24 holes Driving directions
Course reviews
+1 votes Kyle Mihatsch---Team Tilley's › January 29, 2012
This is the definition of a technical course. Very very wooded and tight shots. Your favorite putter and roc are all you need here. The new holes are very challenging and a few of them are not possible shots. The original 18 are a fun deuce or die style. Thick woods await you if you stray from the fairway and will punish you. This is a fun course to play though and is actually the only course that i have posted a 1000+ rated round, so it holds a place in my memory. defiantly worth playing. The few "unplayable" holes are what keep this from being a "B".

Now 24 holes with 6 shiny new baskets and cement tee pads.
You like trees, don't you? Maybe a 2 on R-7 Get a 2 on R-8&9.
Enjoy the view on 10. Get a par. Laugh on 11 & 12. Try to get a 3.
Now-B. Will work on it. Go out and get some tree air.

The holes are very short and there's not much variety - mostly straight, between 200-300 and various amounts of trees as obsticles. It's fairly pretty, but all pines. There's one hole that is actually a real gem, but the rest are just aceruns and deuces. The first time I played here I'd only been playing for about 2 months and I shot 60. Now, three+ years later I walk out with a 51 and know that if this were my home course, I'd be shotting into the 40's without too much difficulty. It's worth a ...

Decent par 3 course with some pin-ball approaches, most are straight shots from the T-pad. Wide fairways, wooded, and shady; good place to be on a hot day. Very buggy, though!

Great little short course packed into a lakeside park (fun for practice or warmup) with main course just across the road. Lots of trees but very playable with pretty good lanes and really good tee pads and baskets. Got lucky and almost made par first time here with a bit of snow on the ground. Only did the main 18 and haven't done the extra holes yet. Definitely check this place out.

The CEO as Head CoachToo many corporate leaders don't understand that changing corporate culture is shaped by every decision they make. The tone is set by their words and cemented with their actions, every day—when the CEO establishes a strategy and follows it, sets rules and abides by them, not only says he or she is "one of us," but acts like one of us. |

Challenging rides on the road for adults only
If you've been riding a road bike for a while, and perhaps been thinking about joining a cycling club, these rides – brand new for 2012 – are for you.

Starting and finishing at The National Cycling Centre home of Team GB, this challenging ride follows quiet country lanes through the Medlock valley before passing through the outskirts of Daisy Nook and over Hartshead Pike, where you'll feel a world away from the hustle-and-bustle of Manchester. Then it's onto the picturesque village of Uppermill before enjoying the route back to the National Cycling Centre. Remember to bring your cycling legs!
If you've already tried one of our Ride Strong Plus rides and you're ready for the next challenge, why not try a British Cycling Sportive?

A pretty challenging ride for most folks but very satisfying. Pity it's not a loop although for the most part the return over the same terrain isn't boring. -

Intelligence Squared US: "Is the FDA Hazardous to Our Health?"
Intelligence Squared US: "Is the FDA Hazardous to Our Health?"
Sun, 05/19/2013 - 9:00pm
When it comes to public health, is it ever okay to sacrifice safety for speed? The Food and Drug Administration, the oldest comprehensive consumer protection agency in the U.S. federal government, is charged with protecting the public health. Under this mandate, it regulates drugs and medical devices for their safety and effectiveness. But is it a failing mandate? It's long been argued that the FDA's long and costly approval processes stifle innovation and keep life-changing treatments from the market. But the question remains: when it comes to public health, is it ever okay to sacrifice safety for speed? Intelligence Squared U.S.: Is the FDA Hazardous to Our Health? tackles this issue, airing Sunday, May 19 at 9 p.m. on AM 1370/FM-HD91.5-2.

"Good time? Bad time?" My friend Stephanie Wilkinson is on the phone. We've been trying to connect for days, but our lives keep getting in the way. I glance around my kitchen — two teenagers in need of food and transportation, an under-walked dog, and, oh yeah, the day job I am supposed to be doing from my home office upstairs.
"Bad, but it's always bad," I tell her. "What's up?" She'd sent an e-mail earlier in the week saying she wanted to chat about Brain, Child, the small-but-mighty award-winning parenting magazine she has published and co-edited with Jennifer Niesslein for the past 13 years.
I assume she wants me to pitch in with editing for awhile, as I did a few years ago when Jennifer took a leave to write a book. I loved my stint as temporary editor and felt honored and humbled to be working with the raw material, and raw talent, that went into making Brain, Child, the original shoestring indie response to the big parenting glossies that have an answer for every problem and six ad pages for every article.
This time I have my apologies lined up — all of them about money and time — but as it turns out, they're not needed. "I'll talk fast," Stephanie says. "We're shutting down the magazine. Things just aren't turning around fast enough. We needed a Plan B, and I guess this is it." They will keep the Web site and Facebook page going, sell back issues, and look into publishing some anthologies, but no more quarterly magazine. (Read their announcement here.)
The news is searing, but not entirely surprising. Read more…

Re:"Maybe she should resign"
Dear Editor:
Rep. Lamar Smith's (R-San Antonio) March 28 response to INS Commissioner Doris Meissner's editorial on the 1996 law ("1996 Immigration law overreached," March 22) was perplexing– apparently Mr. Smith does not recognize the law he himself crafted in 1996.
It was Congress, not Ms. Meissner that enacted a law that requires the INS to indiscriminately round up and deport immigrants who committed even minor offenses—past or present.It was Congress that failed to take into account that, as a result of this law, U.S. families, businesses and communities would be hopelessly torn apart.
As Ms. Meissner correctly pointed out, persons who have committed and paid the price for minor offenses years before the law's enactment—and who have since led model, productive lives—are being captured by the law's sweeping scope. What more evidence does Congress need that the 1996 immigration law went too far?
I relive the nightmare of this law every time I am confronted with the prospect of my husband being swept up in this immigration dragnet simply because he was not born in America. The 1996 immigration law and Mr. Smith's relentless attacks on immigrants do not reflect America—a nation of fairness and justice.
Mr. Smith's should take steps to amend the 1996 law in a way that would preserve the stability of American families and businesses. Rather than attack an agency that is simply trying to enforce an ill-conceived law, Mr. Smith should exercise compassion and common sense and work to change the law.

Beautiful, fast, and fluid, Windows 8 has been reimagined to focus on your life. Windows 8 upgrade is for Windows Vista or XP users.
Upon installation you can install the free 8.1 update available through the Windows Store.
Windows has been reimagined to focus on your life. The beautiful, fast, and fluid design is perfect for a range of hardware: from compact, touch-enabled tablets and lightweight laptops, to PCs and large, powerful all-in-ones with high-definition screens. It's smooth, intuitive, and gives you instant access to your people, apps, and stuff, so you spend less time searching and more time doing.
Windows 8 is built on the rock-solid foundation of Windows 7, but it's been improved on all fronts. You can install Windows 8 on the same hardware that powers Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7, and you'll love how it works on new devices, too. Windows 8 was designed with Windows 7 apps in mind, because you probably have older apps you need to use.
In addition to the new look of the Start Screen, Windows 8 incorporates the desktop that you're familiar with. Think of the desktop as one of the many apps you can run in Windows 8. In the desktop, you'll see all the settings, devices and features you used in Windows 7—and you can run the desktop apps you ran in Windows 7, too.
Sign in to your Windows 8 device with your Microsoft account and you're immediately connected to the people, files and settings you care about. Your PC comes to life with all the things that make Windows yours, including your Start page, themes, language preferences, browsing history and browser favourites. You can connect your favourite services to your Microsoft account, too, like Hotmail, Messenger, Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter and more. And you can immediately get to your photos, docs and other files, whether they're on SkyDrive, Facebook, Flickr or other services.
In the Windows Store, you can search for or browse great apps, all grouped in easy-to-find categories. We highlight great apps for you and provide quick access to frequently downloaded apps. You can also see how other people have rated apps. You'll always know what's interesting, new and popular. You won't have to worry about buying something you don't want because you can try before you buy, if the app supports it. If you try an app and like it, you can buy it and continue using the full app with no interruption. You won't waste time or lose your place.
Upgrading to Windows 8
If your PC is running Windows 7, your files, programs and settings will easily transfer to Windows 8. If your PC is running Windows XP or Windows Vista, you will need to reinstall your programs. Some features such as touch may require a new PC. To check compatibility, visit your PC manufacturer's website and check out www.windows.com/upgrade to run the Upgrade Assistant to check for compatibility and get more details on system requirements.
Demonstrated video sequences require a touch-enabled device.
To install Windows 8, customers must be running Windows XP SP3, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8 Consumer Preview, or Windows 8 Release Preview.
Pricing varies by region and reseller, and depends on a variety of factors including exchange rate, local taxes, duties, fees, local market conditions, and other pricing considerations. The actual price you pay may be more than the advertised price.
After purchase, you will be prompted to run the Windows 8 setup, which walks you through the steps to download and install. Learn more about privacy and the Upgrade Assistant.

When a truck is lifted above the manufacturers factory height, the steering geometry is changed. Depending on your truck and how high it is lifted, the angles of the steering components can be affected enough to cause steering problems and prematurely wear out steering components. Steering problems include ''bump steer'', poor ''memory steer'' and ''reduced turning radius''.

This was amazing! The tomatoes and cilantro gave this chowder a fresh taste. I could go for some more hot sauce/hot peppers to kick up the spice.

Great recipe.
I also like adding a cup or two of cooked white beans to it. I like using evaporated milk instead of the half and half.

We loved this recipe. The only thing I changed was I seasoned chicken breasts with pepper, garlic powder and cajun seasoning. I cooked the breasts in olive oil until cooked through, then diced really small. Other than that, perfect!!!

The Science of Science & Innovation Policy (SciSIP) program supports research designed to advance the scientific basis of science and innovation policy. Research funded by the program thus develops, improves and expands models, analytical tools, data and metrics that can be applied in the science policy decision making process. For example, research proposals may develop behavioral and analytical conceptualizations, frameworks or models that have applications across a broad array of SciSIP challenges, including the relationship between broader participation and innovation or creativity. Proposals may also develop methodologies to analyze science and technology data, and to convey the information to a variety of audiences. Researchers are also encouraged to create or improve science and engineering data, metrics and indicators reflecting current discovery, particularly proposals that demonstrate the viability of collecting and analyzing data on knowledge generation and innovation in organizations.
Among the many research topics supported are:
The SciSIP program invites the participation of researchers from all of the social, behavioral and economic sciences as well as those working in domain-specific applications such as chemistry, biology, physics, or nanotechnology. The program welcomes proposals for individual or multi-investigator research projects, doctoral dissertation improvement awards, conferences, workshops, symposia, experimental research, data collection and dissemination, computer equipment and other instrumentation, and research experience for undergraduates. The program places a high priority on interdisciplinary research as well as international collaboration.
Investigators are encouraged to submit proposals of joint interest to the SciSIP Program and other NSF programs and NSF initiative areas. The program places a high priority on broadening participation and encourages proposals from junior faculty, women, other underrepresented minorities, Research Undergraduate Institutions, and EPSCoR states. The program also supports small grants that are time-critical and small grants that are high-risk and of a potentially transformative nature (see Grants for Rapid Response Research (RAPID) and EArly-concept Grants for Exploratory Research (EAGER).)

CHARLESTON, W.Va. - The state Lottery Commission decided against revoking the licenses of two technicians who confessed to tampering with limited video lottery machines, but fined the men $1,000 each and placed them on six months' probation.
Kenneth Howell and Lawson Mangum, who work for Clarksburg-based Shafer Amusements, told commission members Thursday they "wired over" switches inside 10 of the company's video lottery machines.
The switches are connected to a hatch inside the machines. Each time the machine is opened, it sends an electronic notification to Lottery headquarters. That allows Lottery officials to know when and why technicians accessed the machines.
The games cannot be played while the switches are triggered. Howell and Mangum, who have each worked on the video lottery machines for more than a decade, said the switches are easily broken.
Bypassing broken switches is a quick way to get the machines back in operation, they told commissioners.
The Lottery Commission began investigating machine tampering earlier this year, when an inspector found one machine with a wired-over door switch. Investigators then checked each of the 7,432 limited video lottery machines in the state and found 12 more instances of tampering.
Ten of the machines belonged to Shafter Amusements. Kelly's Hot Spot II in Dunbar owned the remaining three.
Howell and Mangum acknowledged they did not follow Lottery guidelines but said the switches were redundant. They said there are other triggers inside the machines to notify Lottery officials when they are opened.
But both promised to never tamper with switches ever again.
"Sometimes you don't know you're doing wrong until you're told you're doing wrong," Howell told commissioners. "Until January I had no idea I was doing anything against regulation."

Oh Tropico 3, I've missed you. I bought the game on a whim some months back, after almost writing the city-building genre off for good. Games like 1701 A.D. and CivCity Rome had slowly worn away at my patience for the hard and fast rule-following that was required to be success. 1701 went so far as to enforce a strict radius for service buildings, such that a homeowner on a given block would receive the full benefits of say, a school, while his next-door neighbor would be completely bereft of education. It was nonsense like that that made me think the genre was pretty much done.Upon trying to demo of Tropico 3, I knew I had to buy it. There...
May is a good month to be a fan of arcade racers. There's Blur, a Burnout-esque racer with powerups, Modnation Racers, a cart racer with a great map editor and online track sharing, and Split/Second, a game that encourages blowing lots and lots of things up. I'll be covering all three of these racers this month, so keep a look out for a buyers guide!
Split/Second takes the concept of destructible powerups from other games and turns them into Power Plays. By drifting, drafting behind opponents and getting airtime you build up a power meter. Once you have a third of the bar filled you can unleash a power play; icons above other cars indicate which ones will likely be hit by the shot. A power play, simply put, makes things go boom. A crane can sweep some cargo across the field, a helicopter may drop a bomb, a burning bus may begin tumbling down the racing field. Rest assured something explosive will happen and there's a good chance it'll wreck some...
Happy Birthday YouTube! Yes that's right, YouTube turns 5 today, or maybe it was yesterday, or… Happy Birthday! Well, since this is a videogame website, I had to make this game related, so, I actually ended up finding an interactive YouTube Street Fighter game. Using linked videos, you get to fight Zangief, Dhalsim, or E. Honda as Guile. A, B, X, and Y buttons on the video allow you to execute moves when they're flashing and if your attacks are mistimed, you take damage. My first thought: Boredom is truly innovation's impetus. Upon playing the game though, I really had to admire the amount of work that went into this project.
Patrick Boivin is the mind behind this game. He's a French-Canadian film maker who's best known for his stop-motion animation shorts. He usually takes on all aspects of his films, including directing, lighting, editing, and even music for...
So I hate to nerd out, but in the past few months I've become something of an Assassin's Creed fanboy ever since my romance with Assassin's Creed 2. Even today I can't stop talking about that game. Maybe it's the historian in me talking (I majored in History, not that that was any useful) but the 15th century setting just froliced it's way into my dopamine synaptic pathway and slowly bloated and gorged like a Renaissance fair corset. Ah, bar wenches. Even though we split for a bit (The Battle of Forli), we made up by the roaring fires of burning idols and charred vessels of sin, compliments of Savonarola. I got all the U Play downloads, all the feathers, bought the extra maps. I even fashioned a hidden blade out of rubber bands, a batman gauntlet, and a butter knife; it tends to shoot out whenever it feels like it though.
When it was announced that Steam would be coming to the Mac platform, the world rejoiced. Mac users and Justin Long alike danced in the streets, celebrating the moment when Macs would take a major step forward in computer gaming. Well, Steam has been available for 5 days thus far, and at the time of this writing, I am not happy with the product.Take a look at the debuts of major consoles. Successful launches always came with a killer app game that would coax potential buyers to shell out the considerable amount of cash to purchase a new machine. Consoles that didn't (Saturn, PS2) had miserable launches that were not well received at all by media and consumers alike. Obviously, in the case of the PS2, the poor launch did not hurt the console over the long haul.
So what games were available for the Mac on day one of the Steam launch? Essentially nothing.
Yes, Steam for Mac technically launched with 63 games, but when you look at the...
Well, because I've apparently been under a rock for the past few weeks, I guess I'm the only one online surprised by the Halo: Reach live action trailer, "Birth of a Spartan." I'm not the biggest Halo fan, but I admit, I've always had a thing for Bungie's trailers. They really know how to throw together these great short films that compulsively make me throw money at the screen. Though not as intense as its predecessors, "Birth of a Spartan" carries this great weight behind it in its own sobering way. So, in the midst of this fanboy-hot-flash, I thought we'd look through some marketing at its best."Believe" trailer:
The moment is nearly upon us, the moment where Macs will finally be on par with PCs in terms of gaming.

With it come beloved games from Steam and Valve, such as Left for Dead 2,Portal, Team Fortress 2, and more.There have been a few questions rolling around concerning Steam for Mac, and with the launch date so near, I just want to answer the most common."Will I have to repurchase a... -
My first PC game was Red Baron. I borrowed it from my godmother's husband and never got around to returning it *cough*. It started me down the path that I'm still on today, as a devoted PC gamer. So when I heard that a Russian developer, neoqb, was developing what looked to be Red Baron for the modern age, I was ecstatic.Upon buying Rise of Flight, and jumping head first into the forums and online community, I quickly realized just how "indie" this scene really was. The first English-language blog post written for the site was an immediate apology for the unfinished state of the game, an explanation that development money was extremely tight and a commitment to make the playing experience better over time....
Remember arcades? Those magical places where gaming rigs stood shoulder to shoulder, filling up entire rooms? Patrons used to flock there to spend their collective quarters in the hopes of reaching the next level, beating the game, or besting their high score. Then there was me, a goofy ten year old who didn't have much to spend in terms of money, but had a small fortune of time to waste.
I would swiftly make my way across the room and find the coolest, sweetest looking guy in the whole arcade, and watch him play for hours on end. Following him from machine to machine, I remained in awe as he bested level after level, and as his score reach astronomically high numbers. My reason for doing this: the games he played were difficult. So difficult that I figured I could never possess the skill to duplicate his efforts. Beating an easy game… no one cares. Beat a hard game… that'...
It's not that I've played the new iPhone game by Linkin Park and found it detestable or in any way unsatisfactory. I don't have an iPhone or an iPod touch or an iPad. It's just sad to see video games going down the same path so many other mediums have traveled. Of course I should really say going further down, since every major movie comes with a matching game nowadays.
Linkin Park may or may not have made a great game. Either way, their popularity as musical artists is what will get their game sold—especially when beating the game unlocks an exclusive track. An, oh, the music in the game is remixed Linkin Park songs made to sound "old school."
For me Eight Bit Rebellion's premise is far too aware it's clever. The game is about an evil corporation trying to ruin games...
Video game music is a huge part of my collection. Honestly speaking, it's the music I hear the most because I spend more time playing games than I do listening to my Zune. So often times, I like listening to video game music when I'm at work. Except, aside from what is on my MP3 player, it's difficult to find good video game music unless I've played that game myself.
That is, until I discovered rainwave.cc. Rainwave streams video game songs from hundreds of games, both classic and contemporary. It was through this site that I discovered that I really enjoy music from the Advance Wars series. I love turn-based strategy games as well, so I don't know why I never got into this series. Either way, I was just stoked to find a place like rainwave that was able to introduce me to songs I haven't heard before. It's essentially the...
I just got my grubby little hands on the $2.00 Black Market Aerial Pack DLC for Just Cause 2. Apparently, developer Avalanche will be releasing a few of these in the coming months, each containing about three equipment and vehicle additions a piece. This pack includes a new rocket launcher, fighter plane and parachute jets, all purchasable from the in-game black market. Is this first entry worth the price of admission?
Going with the aerial theme, the rocket launcher is primarily an anti helicopter weapon. It gives you the ability to lock onto 4 separate enemies (vehicles or people) by holding down fire and dragging the cursor over your targets. Once they are cued up, simply release the button and watches as a volley of pure destruction homes in on your victims. I say that it's mostly useful for choppers because on the ground, there are just too many obstacles, such as...
"Oh wow, blood." Yes, that was my first reaction to Dead to Rigths Retribution. Seriously, it's like the Red Cross ran out of water for their Supersoakers in the middle of their yearly Supersoaker staff barbecue. There's blood when we meet Jack Slate, our protagonist, there's blood when we meet Shadow, star puppy of the game, there's blood when I sneeze too hard... okay that's not true, but my point is made. Yes Namco, I get it, this is a hardcore game with an attitude and apparently a lot of hemophiliacs. I expectations weren't too high for the game as of that moment, but, I see potential.I can't help but feel a slight thrill of nostalgia every so often. I used to love playing a Genesis game called Streets of Rage, if you have a working Genesis, you should definitely try it. Well, DtR feels like I'm playing that old beat 'em up game every so often. Yes the AI is pretty dumb, graphics are...

Heading into Nier, I really did not know what to expect. Square Enix's first published release following the media blitzkrieg that was Final Fantasy XIII in March posed quite a quandary; in a week that sees the release of the latest entries in the Street Fighter IV and Dead to Rights series, a brand spanking-new IP from Square received little fanfare. Browsing over my local Gamestop, I noticed that only one new copy of Nier flanked on both sides by multiple copies of its release date brethren. So what is it about Nier that's drawn pretty much, well, non-interest within the gaming community? Could the blame lie in the nearly incomprehensible and manic game trailers promoting Nier? Are American gamers simply burned out on Japanese RPGs in the wake of Final Fantasy XIII? (Domestic game sales would obviously hint at no, but personally, I...
Rumor had been circulating recently that Nintendo was developing a new DS system that could achieve real 3D effects without the use of special glasses. Naturally, the world exploded with speculation. Topics ranged from how the glasses-free device would operate, to whether or not Sony should follow suit with the PSP, to whether or not anyone would even give a damn about the new DS.
Nintendo, however, has been relatively mum on the subject. A quick look at the Nintendo of America front page displays no information about the 3DS, nor does the DS front page. It appears as though Nintendo is more...
M 60's, pills, virulent cannibals, but worst of all… ugly bridesmaid dresses; yeah, there goes the neighborhood. Valve didn't just toss us a new map to shoot zombies on; not that this isn't addictively fun, but it's really Valve's attention to detail that really makes The Passing memorable. I hadn't played Left 4 Dead 2 in a while, but it was easy to jump back onto the zombi-cycle with a hot dishing of banter between Zoey and Nick at the beginning of the campaign. Let's just say, someone finally called out Nick on his Colonel Sandersesque suit. I really liked how familiar the map felt; not in a "I've played this before" way, but in a "I've walked down this seedy alley before" way. Everyone's been to this little southern town before, and you can tell something is wrong. Neon lights shining to no one in general, lonely shops that should be full of little old...
When I hear anyone use the word "gamer" without irony or air quotes I cringe. It's always the same line—"I'm a gamer"—with the addition of some trivial attempt at supporting the claim—"I have three old school consoles"—and no attempt to explain what the term "gamer" means.
Logic should suggest that a gamer is simply one who games. After all, a writer is one who writes, a actor is one who acts, a painter is one who paints. Of course, "er" words tend to lean towards serious hobbyists or (aspiring) professionals.
With video games, there are very few professionals and very many serious hobbyists. Wikipedia suggests that nowadays gamer...
Coming off of my review of The Settlers 7: Paths to a Kingdom and all the misery that entailed, one theme kept cropping up: the idea of somehow cognitively separating the DRM from the game itself. I was peppered with questions like, "Taking aside the DRM, what do you think of the game?" and comments such as, "Your review focused too much on the DRM, not enough on the game". Similar to how some people "feel" that there is a difference between mind and body (relating to souls and such...there isn't one), many feel that DRM is somehow disconnected from a game. As if we could simply cover one eye, turn our heads and squint, and somehow, the DRM would go unnoticed and we would suddenly now own a game we actually want. To submit to this faulty line of reasoning is both stupid from a consumer...
On April 6th, WikiLeaks released a video of a US Army Apache helicopter firing at a group of men in Baghdad in 2007. It later turned out that the group of men included a Reuters photographer, Namir Noor-Eldeen, who was only 22 years old, and his driver, Saeed Chmagh, 40. WikiLeaks has attached to the video a label of "Collateral Murder." There has been much outcry over the video and what it portrays, with the military defending the contents, and elements of the media claiming that the events and actions depicted are deplorable, immoral crimes. Julian Assange, editor of WikiLeaks, said: "The behavior of the pilots is like a computer game. When Saeed is crawling, clearly unable to do anything, their response is: 'come on buddy, we want to kill you, just pick up a weapon'...It appears to be a desire to get a higher score, or a higher number of kills."

Janis leans out from behind a tree to grasp another figure by the arm. The figure resembles Mr. Spock of Star Trek fame, but is dressed in a 1970s turtlneck and jacket.[1] | [edit] |
Parson Gotti: Look, I was gonna die. Croak, I mean. Janis: Sh. | [edit] |
A ring of eight figures[2] brandish various magic-wand-type objects at Parson, who is standing in front of a portal and holding up his sword. Just to the side of the portal, Janis and her companion can be seen lurking. On the other side of the portal, Sizemore, Maggie, and Wanda stand in a line. | [edit] |
Parson Gotti: So I took a shot at the portal, okay? I don't know why I didn't disband. Maybe I count as a Mathamancer or a Luckamancer or something? I just... | [edit] |
Parson glances over his shoulder in surprise as the Spock-like figure leaps at him from behind. | [edit] |
Sound: !!!-- | [edit] |
The assailant grabs Parson where his neck meets his shoulder,[3] with one finger above the top edge of Parson's armor. | [edit] |
Sound: PINCH | [edit] |
Parson's assailant clings to his back, his expression rather puzzled as Parson simply turns to stare at him. | [edit] |
Parson Gotti: Yer kidding, right? | [edit] |
The figure grins as Parson rolls up his eyes and slumps to the ground. | [edit] |
Parson Gotti: Urh. | [edit] |
Parson lies sprawled in an undignified heap on the ground. Janis steps behind him and adopts an authoritative air as she raises her staff. | [edit] |
Janis: He's not a Mathamancer. | [edit] |
Janis steps away from Parson and toward Sizemore, Maggie, and Wanda, who are standing in a line linked hand-to-hand. Their eyes glow violet with the energy of the link. | [edit] |
Janis: He's a Hippiemancer. But guard him anyway. Ohhh, my. | [edit] |
Janis addresses the gathered casters. The linked trio stand impassively in the background. | [edit] |
Janis: All right, I'll need a master-class Thinkamancer to unravel this link. More than one, preferably. I'll pay fifty Rands each! | [edit] |
The Carl-Sagan-like caster puts his hand over the Orko-like caster's hidden face in about the position where his mouth is presumably located. | [edit] |
Orko-like Caster: Say, isn't that Sizemrrfl-- Sagan-like Caster: Quiet.[4] And yes it is. | [edit] |

A subconjunctival hemorrhage (sub-kun-JUNK-tih-vul HEM-uh-ruj) occurs when a tiny blood vessel breaks just underneath the clear surface of your eye (conjunctiva).
You may not realize you have a subconjunctival hemorrhage until you look in the mirror and find the white part of your eye is bright red.
The conjunctiva can't absorb the blood very quickly, so the blood is trapped under this transparent surface. A subconjunctival hemorrhage may worry you, but it's usually a harmless condition that disappears within one or two weeks.
Subconjunctival hemorrhage often occurs without any obvious harm to your eye, or it may be the result of a strong sneeze or cough that caused a blood vessel to break. You don't need any specific treatment for a subconjunctival hemorrhage.

SALAMA II (d. 1388) Salama II was the successor of Abuna Ya'qob and served as metropolitan during the reigns of Negus Sayfa Ar'ad (1344-1372), Negus Newaya Maryam (1372-1382), and Negus Dawit I (1382- 1412). The Liber Axumae indicates that he arrived in Ethiopia in 1341 of the Ethiopian calendar (A.D. 1348-1349) and died in 1380 (A.D. 1387-1388). According to the Ethiopian Synaxarion, he died on 20 Nahasé (1380) (A.D. 13 August 1388). Salama II occupies an important place in the history of ETHIOPIAN CHRISTIAN LITERATURE, having been the promoter of a vast literary movement based on the translation from Arabic into Ethiopic (Ge'ez) of a considerable number of texts derived from the religious literature of the Copts. It was doubtless the intention of the metropolitan and his collaborators to strengthen the ties binding Christian Ethiopia to the Alexandrian patriarchate, but it is certain that this great work of translation also sought to counteract, on the spot, the menace created by the dissident ideas and movements then current among the Ethiopian clergy. Because of his prolific literary activity, Salama was given the epithet Matargwem (translator). Although he is often similarly honored as "Translator of the Holy Scriptures," it is not known whether he was actually involved in the translation of the Bible into Ethiopic. There is considerable documentation for the numerous literary translations effected by Salama II, principally in the domains of hagiography and patristics. On the other hand, although his long episcopate covered four important decades in Ethiopian history, there are not sufficient data concerning his religious politics. The Life of Fileppos, third abbot of Dabra Asbo, who had been relegated to the south of the country by the king around 1346, during the reign of Abuna Ya'qob, gives some information. Upon his arrival in Ethiopia, Salama II was able to secure from the king the liberation of Fileppos and his companions, but a new quarrel soon erupted between Fileppos and the king about fasting. The Ethiopians fast on Wednesday and Friday (the days of the condemnation and death of Jesus), as well as during the forty days preceding Christmas. However, they do not fast on Christmas, even if this day falls on Wednesday or Friday. Following the advice of certain priests at court, the negus Sayfa Ar'ad decided that it was also unnecessary to fast on Christmas Eve, even if it fell on Wednesday or Friday. During the same year that Salama II arrived in Ethiopia, Christmas Eve (28 Takhsas 1341/A.D. 24 December 1348) fell on a Wednesday. The negus asked both the metropolitan and Abbot Fileppos to ratify his decision. Salama was not rigidly opposed to this royal request, but Fileppos and the other abbots evidenced a clear hostility. Once again they were exiled to a distant region. This episode confirms that Salama II arrived in Ethiopia toward the end of 1348 and that, from a political viewpoint, he was less strict than the regular clergy in its attitude to royalty. These few historical data are so sparse that one may wonder if Salama the ecclesiastic simply stood in the shadows created by his brilliance as a man of letters. In particular, one may ask what was his attitude in the great quarrel around 1380 wherein the two sons of Sayfa Ar'ad opposed each other for the possession of the throne and at the end of which Dawit eliminated his older brother, Negus Newaya Maryam. Did Salama II align himself with the monks of Dabra Asbo, who condemned Dawit, or with the monks of Dabra Hayq, who supported the new negus? Salama II's successor was Abuna Bartalomewos, who arrived in Ethiopia in 1391 of the Ethiopian calendar (A.D. 1398-1399). S. Kur has recently surmised that between the death of Salama II and the arrival of Bartalomewos there may have been another metropolitan, Abuna Fiqtor. Fiqtor is mentioned in certain traditional lists, but in the light of documents available at present, his existence seems doubtful. BARTALOMEWOS (d. c. 1435) Information about the episcopate of Bartalomewos (Bartholonew) is scant, even though it covered the lengthy period from the end of the reign of Negus Dawit I (1380-1412) though the entire reign of Negus Yeshaq (1413-1430). Successor to Salama II, Bartalomewos arrived in Ethiopia in 1391 of the Ethiopian calendar (A.D. 1398-1399), according to the date listed in a local chronicle (Annals of Addi-Neamin). This was at a time when Christian Ethiopia was undergoing a delicate crisis. Dawit, having seized power by eliminating his older brother, Negus Newaya Maryam, with the help of his sister, Del Sefa, had to face the opposition of certain elements of the military and the monasteries of Shewa that contested his actions. Therefore, it was a dozen years after the death of Abuna Salama II before the king was able to have the patriarch send a new metropolitan to Ethiopia. Bartalomewos arrived in Ethiopia with important information for the negus: an atmosphere of peace between Christians and Muslims had existed for some thirty years in the Mediterranean, and this was accompanied by a remarkable entente among the various Christian communities (Copts, Catholics, and Greek Orthodox). Upon the advice of Bartalomewos and with the assistance of the Coptic patriarch MATTHEW I (1378-1409), the negus sent two missions to Europe in search of religious relics supposed to attest divine favor toward Dawit and consolidate his throne thereby. The first mission reached Venice in 1402, and the other arrived at Rome in 1404. It was the first mission, whose spokesman was a certain Florentine, Antonio Bartoli, that brought from Venice the relics desired by the negus. However, inside Ethiopia, Bartalomewos became embroiled in a religious quarrel. Certain monasteries in the north of Ethiopia maintained that Saturday should be observed as the Sabbath, according to Holy Scripture, whereas other monasteries, supported by the metropolitan, defended the observance of Sunday, in conformity with Coptic tradition. Those favoring Saturday were the monks of the order of Ewostatewos and, in particular, Fileppos, abbot of Dabra Bizan. The metropolitan's principal ally was Saraqa Berhan, abbot of Dabra Hayq and counselor to the negus. Bartalomewos won the first round. In 1400 he convoked a counsel during which Fileppos was retained at Dabra Hayq under the guard of Saraqa Berhan, while his partisans were sent away far from their monasteries. However, in 1404, Dawit decided to reverse his stand. He freed the punished prelates and authorized the observance of "the two Sabbaths." According to Taddesse Tamrat, the attitude of the Order of Ewostatewos was dictated more by nationalistic sentiments than by religious considerations, and this reversal weighed heavily against Bartalomewos and his immediate successors for a long time to come. During the reign of Negus Yeshaq, Bartalomewos had to suffer another difficult period. Suspected of sympathizing with the Zamika'elite movement (a heretical current initiated by a monk named Zamika'el), the metropolitan had to defend himself before a board of inquiry and finally was forced to condemn formally the Zamika'elite doctrine. Soon afterward, there arose the heretical movement of the Estifanosites (named after a monk called Estifanos, or Stephan), which "refused to venerate Mary and the Cross," but which was also inspired by political considerations. The Estifanosites were condemned and persecuted during the fifteenth century, but Bartalomewos, who was present at their beginnings, does not seem to have played a role in their persecution (see ETHIOPIAN HERESIES AND THEOLOGICAL CONTRO-VERSIES). It should be noted that an act was drawn up concerning a donation of land (Arabic, waqf) from Negus Dawit I to the Bethlehem Church (Bet Maryam) of Lalibala in Lasta. Written in Arabic, this act carries an addendum for verification and legalization written in Coptic and signed by Abuna Bartalomewos; it is dated A.M. 4 Paoni (Coptic, Ba'unah; Ethiopian, Sane) 1126 (A.D. 29 May 1410). The exact date of the end of Bartalomewos' episcopate is not known. He was still living when Zar'a Ya'qob ascended the throne (June 1434), for he is mentioned in a royal document of this period. However, given the fact that he is not cited in the documents of 1436, it may be presumed that he died around 1435. His successors were Mika'el III and Gabr'el, who arrived in Ethiopia together. MIKA'EL III (d. c. 1450s) Contrary to the tradition which held that there could be only one metropolitan in Ethiopia, Mika'el (Michael) held this post simultaneously with Abuna Gabr'el. Succeeding Abuna Bartalomewos, these two metropolitans arrived in Ethiopia together. With the coadjutor bishop Yohannes, they formed a small group of Coptic prelates who, according to the Liber Axumae, had come to the country in 1431 of the Ethiopian calendar (A.D. 1438-1439). Thus, they had been consecrated by the Coptic patriarch JOHN XI (1427-1452). Upon their arrival in Ethiopia in February 1439, during the reign of Zar'a Ya'qob (1434-1468), the negus demanded that they condemn the heretical trinitarian doctrine of the Zamika'elites (initiated by a monk named Zamika'el). This was probably because the negus remembered that Abuna Bartalomewos had been suspected of favoring this heresy. Consequently Mika'el and Gabr'el were required to proclaim, "We believe in three persons, but one sole divinity." Likewise, in August 1449, at the request of the negus, both metropolitans subscribed to the verdict that Zar'a Ya'qob once again declared in the old dispute of the celebration of the Sabbath on Saturday. In effect, the two metropolitans agreed to the observance of "the two Sabbaths," in conformance with the decision adopted during the reign of Abuna Bartalomewos. Afterward, during the sovereign's residency at Dabra Berhan (1454-1468), the three Egyptian prelates participated in the tribunal that judged and condemned the Zamika'elites. The exact circumstances for the joint reign of Mika'el III and Gabr'el as metropolitans are unknown. Probably when they were consecrated and sent to Ethiopia, the Coptic patriarch intended that they govern in succession (i.e., one after the death of the other, as often happened subsequently). However, once on Ethiopian soil and probably at the orders of the negus, the two divided their territorial jurisdiction. As a result, there were documents issued with both men holding the same rank wherein Mika'el governed Amhara and Gabr'el ruled over Shewa. Each one proceeded to ordain deacons and priests within his own territory. At first this arrangement did not include Tigre, where the clergy refused to accept any metropolitan at all, for they felt that the quarrel of the Sabbath had not yet been definitively resolved. The negus then convoked a synod in 1450 that confirmed the observance of the two Sabbaths. Only approximate deductions can be made as to the dates of the deaths of these two metropolitans. The Life of Ezra, a contemporary Estifanosite monk, states that in 1475 Ezra decided to go to Egypt in an attempt to have himself ordained a priest, "for, since the death of Abuna Gabr'el, there was no longer a bishop in Ethiopia with the authority to consecrate priests" (Caquot, 1961, p. 95). This story is also confirmed by a traditional list of metropolitans found in an Ethiopian document, which states that Mika'el and Gabr'el arrived together and that when Mika'el died, Gabr'el carried out the duties alone. Elsewhere, Francisco Alvares (1961, Vol. 2, pp. 356-57), the chaplain of the first Portuguese mission to arrive in Ethiopia (1520), reported that Abuna Marqos I told him that during the reign of Zar'a Ya'qob, the church in Ethiopia had been without a metropolitan for twenty-three years—that is, until the arrival of Abuna Yeshaq II toward the end of 1481. From these data, it may be deduced that Gabr'el succeeded Mika'el and that he died in 1458. As to Mika'el's death, it must have preceded this date by a short while. GABR'EL (d. c. 1458) Gabr'el (Gabriel) arrived in Ethiopia in 1431 of the Ethiopian calendar (A.D. 1438-1439) with another metropolitan, Abuna Mika'el III. They had both been consecrated together by the Coptic patriarch JOHN XI (1427-1452) and were the successors of Abuna Bartalomewos. According to tradition, only one bishop could be appointed metropolitan of Ethiopia. Consequently, it is probable that Gabr'el and Mika'el III were supposed to exercise this duty in succession (i.e., one after the death of the other). In reality, they reigned jointly by dividing their territorial jurisdiction. By order of the negus, Gabr'el took charge of Shewa and Mika'el of Amhara. For the most part, the information available is the same concerning these two metropolitans (see the biography of Mika'el III, above). It must be added that it was Abuna Gabr'el who conferred the priesthood upon the monk Abakerazun, disciple and successor to the monk Estifanos, head of the heretical and political Estifanosite movement that shook the Ethiopian church during the fifteenth century. After the death of Abuna Mika'el III, Gabr'el was the sole metropolitan until his death around 1458. The church of Ethiopia then remained without an abun for approximately twenty-three years, until the arrival of Abuna Yeshaq II in that country. YESHAQ II (d. c. 1500) After the death of Abuna Gabr'el in 1458, neither Negus Zar'a Ya'qob (1434-1468) nor his son Ba'eda Maryam (1468-1478) asked the Coptic patriarch in Alexandria to send a new metropolitan to Ethiopia. The exact reasons for this are unknown, but such an attitude indicates the formation of an autonomous current at the heart of the Ethiopian church. According to the Life of Marha Krestos (Kur, CSCO 331, pp. vii, 76-81), ninth abbot of Dabra Libanos, during the ninth year of Ba'eda Maryam's reign (1477), the negus convened a great synod attended by a large number of prelates. The subject was to decide about their relations with the Coptic church, accused by one part of the Ethiopian clergy of "disturbing the Coptic faith and of eating food proscribed by law." The accusers asked that the prelates proceed to the immediate election of a metropolitan "chosen by the people of Ethiopia" and thus were asking that the Ethiopian church separate itself from the church of Egypt. Marha Krestos opposed this request, considering it to be contrary to tradition and canonical law. He proposed sending an exploratory mission to Egypt with the authority, should it prove feasible, to ask for a new metropolitan. The assembly approved the thesis of separation by four hundred votes to three hundred; but the negus agreed with Marha Krestos, so there was no schism. However, the death of Ba'eda Maryam in 1478 prevented the delegation from being sent to Egypt. Only after the beginning of Eskender's reign (1478-1494) was it possible for an Ethiopian mission to leave the country and begin negotiations with the Coptic patriarch. Aware of some danger, the Coptic patriarch showed his skill by sending several Coptic prelates to Ethiopia. The first group comprised four persons: Bishop Yeshaq (the new metropolitan), Bishop Marqos (destined to succeed Yeshaq), the coadjutor bishops Mika'el and Yohannes, and Qummus Yosef. Later, certain other Coptic prelates also arrived in Ethiopia, among whom was a bishop Ya'qob, who was supposed to succeed Marqos as metropolitan. However, his death before that of Marqos prevented this. According to the Liber Axumae, Yeshaq arrived in Ethiopia in 1474 of the Ethiopian calendar (A.D. 1481-1482). Other documents state that he arrived near the end of 1481, but information about his episcopate is fragmentary. He seems to have played a part even on a literary level, for to him is attributed an Ethiopian redaction of the Life of Saint Pantalewon (one of the Nine Saints in the Ethiopian tradition) and a hymn in honor of the Virgin Mary. According to the Life of Marha Krestos, Abuna Yeshaq accompanied the negus Eskender to Dabra Libanos upon his visit to this monastery. At this time, Yeshaq ordained several priests and proceeded to the solemn coronation of Abbot Marha Krestos. Further, according to the Life of the Estifanosite monk 'Ezra, Yeshaq retracted the long-standing excommunication of the heretical Estifanosites, which would indicate an attenuation of the prejudices against this movement. The date of Yeshaq's death is unknown, but it can be approximated. Kur has proposed that he must have died before Negus Eskender (1494) because in the Life of Marha Krestos, Yeshaq is no longer mentioned after the accession of Na'od to the throne. However, there is a formal text that dismisses this argument. In fact, according to the Life of 'Ezra, "while this monk resided at the court of Naod, metropolitan Yeshaq died, and Abuna Marqos succeeded him in this duty." Since other information states that 'Ezra lived at Na'od's court for nine years, until the death of this king in July 1508, it is easy to conclude that Yeshaq died during the first years of the sixteenth century. His successor was Marqos I, who had come with him to Ethiopia.

Saturated FatsSaturated fats are those that become hard at room temperature. They are found mostly in animal-based foods (such as meat, butter, milk, and cheese) and in coconut oil, palm oil, and cocoa butter. Saturated fats should only be eaten in limited amounts because they harm blood vessels, which increases a person's risk for developing hardening of the arteries (atherosclerosis). Saturated fats also affect the levels of cholesterol in the blood and increase the risk of developing coronary artery disease. Most of a person's fat calories should be from monounsaturated fats (such as from olive oil, peanut oil, avocados, and nuts) or polyunsaturated fats (such as from liquid vegetable oils, corn oil, or soybean oil). Food labels usually show how many fat calories come from saturated, trans, monounsaturated, and polyunsaturated fats.

Leave it to the brand behind the world's trustiest tweezers to design this user-friendly eyelash curler. The thoughtful design makes it a far superior alternative to the ouch-inducing curlers of the past. Featuring a comfy padded curling pad, a slim top bar, and an extra-wide opening, it lets you curl each and every lash (including the tiny ones at the corners of your eyes) without causing tears. Plus, it has a luxe rose gold finish that will make your other tools jealous.
I really love this brand. I use to pinch my eye lid with my pair before this pair and now it doesn't happen any more. Which makes me so happy.
This curler looks pretty and works great. It also comes with a lot of replacement curlers. They last a long time, but it is nice that it comes with more than one backup.
I got this eye lash curler with my points and it is the best. A beauty tip i do daily is mascara and curling lashes and this is a must!!
no problems so far! it comes with extra pads to change them out every so often, and i love the color too! easy to use, does the trick, and its pretty cheap for a beauty staple like this!
I was a little intimidated by how rounded this curler seemed when I first used it, but it turned out to fit my eye shape exactly--no more bottom lashes being caught!
It feels very well made and sturdy, and the color is very pretty. The pads are a little firmer than I am used to, but this curler has been doing a very good job at curling my lashes. I debated buying it for a long time because of the price, but am glad that I finally did!
I'm pretty hesitant t buy eyelash curlers, I swear my eyes must have a weird shape because I've wasted serious money to revert to my broken down tools. I was determined to make this work me. It definitely was no pain free the first few times I used it, maybe I'm too used to my broken in tools. The comments I received made me keep trying it out. It's now my favorite and you receive MANY replacement curling pads!
I have used many of these in the past! This works great! SO glad I found it!!!
Eyelash curlers are the single one thing I need in life and to use before stepping out of the house since I was in 10th grade, thus, I've tried them all. I used to use the Revlon one but it got loose and flimsy quick (it is much cheaper than this though). Tweezerman's eyelash curler is expensive but worth it for how much use and time I will get out of it. Definitely a must for every girl who uses one!
Every time I use this device before i put mascara on I am shocked by how much fuller and longer my lashes appear for no other reason than than I curled them before.
I've had mine for at least two years and it's been a great addition to my getting ready routine.
This is not worth the price. It's a pretty good lash curler, but it's overpriced in my opinion, and cheaper alternatives I have found work just as well, if not better. It's a pretty color and lasts a long time, which is a plus, but I just don't think it delivers that nice curl that one would expect from a pro curler. It does an ok job. Not a five star job, more like a two star job. I gave an extra star for the color and the additional replacement pads they give you.
