The picture Beside is the "Home of Cavity" looks from the outside at night. The house was like a hole that glowed in the darkness of night, very cool.
Beside is the "Home of Cavity" look of the porch, you can see that this house has a incredible view out. And when the night, it would be nice to be able to see the stars together on this front page.
Then below is a row of pictures of interior design and furnishings are very compatible with the house design
1. Vestibule
I really liked the large windows that provide beautiful views out. And this house have it.
2. Bedroom
The walls of this house is not painted or is deliberately not been painted, but the bed in placed in the closet reminds me of the Doraemon cartoon. Really funny and interesting..
3. Bathroom
You know, what's interesting about this bathroom? Once again the window, but this window is not big, but the window beside the tub can make you feel bathing in the wild and make you feel at home for long for a shower. The bathroom is narrow, but with a glass wall so the room will feel more spacious.
4. The dining room
I call dining room, but it seems like this space is a multifunctional space, this room also gives a good view out by the large windows. Long wooden tables fill the room was very fitting.
5. Kitchen
The kitchen is quite simple, suitable for people who love minimalist home.
In my opinion, is outside the design house can, but when I saw this house is suitable is made in a mountainous area in addition to the house like a cave but also because right in the front yard of this house there are no trees, so that when it was built in the lowlands, during the day will feels very hot when looking out of the house. But the id of this house is really two thumbs up.

Not quite sure the "close your eyes" section works as well as you envisioned, but the rest of this review is wonderful.
mostly because I completely share your sentiments. take a POS.
Album Rating: 2.0thanks thanks thanks
It was the first and only way I thought of to let someone who hasn't heard any of this hear the sound
that grates me on this. But I'll be thinking about a better way the rest of today
"What A Friend" plays with your ears, but foreign tonalities and oppressive melodies make it hard to fall in love with.
Not sure how foreign tonalities works as a criticism, and "oppressive" doesn't seem like a very apt work choice here. Also I fail to see how rubato is a necessarily a negative thing; musicians have used it often to great effect.
Also your last paragraph (particularly the first two sentences) seem unfinished or you don't seem to be conveying what I think you're trying to convey.
Sorry natey, I've seen you write better, this review doesn't convince me at all.
"What A Friend" plays with your ears, but foreign tonalities and oppressive melodies make it hard to fall in love with.
Album Rating: 2.0In my mind foreign meant notes drawn up on paper instead of by her ears, and you could almost hear her thinking "watch me hit these notes" (I'm not actually assuming that, it's just an association I have with her sound) instead of "yeahhhhhhhh" or "this is beautiful." I felt "oppressed" when I used the word oppressive, but I can see it being an odd case.
Yeah, I think the second sentence of the last paragraph is especially raw. I feel like I'm writing confidently in this review but my communication is floundering. Thanks for the input, I'd be interested if you'd dig this album or not.
I've heard some of her stuff and I liked it, but I still need the album. To be honest I feel like this could be a really good review if you flesh some of your ideas out a little more.

All-metal E3D (v5) Hotend
$59.99 $94.99
We've partnered with E3D to be a US distributor of their hotends! $3 shipping in the US, $12 shipping internationally.
At this time we are only shipping DIY kits.
All variants are in stock, ready to ship. Orders placed before 9PM EST should ship the next business day.
- No PEEK or PTFE
- Reach Extremely High Temperatures
- 300ºC with supplied thermistor
- >400ºC with thermocouple (additional electronics may be required)
- CNC Machined Parts
- High precision
- High quality surface finish
- Aesthetically Pleasing
- Prints almost every material (including PLA)
- Short Thermal Transition
- Improves extrusion accuracy
- Reduces 'blobbing'
- Lowers extrusion force
- Less retraction required
- Easy Mounting
- Plenty of community designed mounts (e.g. Thingiverse)
- Designed to fit in 16mm Groove Mount (i.e. J-Head)
This stainless-steel insulated actively cooled all-metal HotEnd contains no heated PEEK or PTFE. The all-metal design will withstand temperatures well in excess of that ever required for thermoplastic extrusion.
Version 5 of this HotEnd is more easily assembled and remains directly compatible with standard 16mm extruder bodies and should fit most extruder bodies accordingly.
The CNC-machined parts not only assure quality, accuracy and strength but are also aesthetically pleasing.
All heated parts are either steel, aluminium or brass. By using a stainless steel heat-break and active cooling we have reduced the distance in which the plastic transitions from ambient temperatures to extrusion temperatures to 2mm. This extremely short transition from cold filament to molten plastic provides highly precise extrusion with little extrusion force and reduced jamming.
The supplied thermistor has a maximum temperature of 300ºC and is compatible with most 3D printing systems, however the hotend has been tested to beyond 400ºC using a thermocouple. You can find thermocouples and associated electronics in the electronics section of our store.

Republican Rep. Jeff Fortenberry won a fifth term by defeating Democrat Korey Reiman in the 1st district. He was one of three Republican incumbents seeking re-election to the U.S. House.
Republican Rep. Adrian Smith has been re-elected to a fourth term representing western Nebraska's sprawling 3rd congressional district.
Smith defeated Democratic challenger Mark Sullivan on Tuesday to retain his position in the district, which covers more than three-fourths of the state.
Smith, a sixth-generation Nebraskan, pitched himself to voters as a "committed conservative" who opposed tax increases and abortion.
Sullivan is a farmer and cattle feedlot owner from Doniphan. He pointed to his background as a lifelong resident of the district and argued that voters in the Republican-dominated district should have a choice of candidates.
The district covers 70 of Nebraska's 93 counties, and includes the cities of Hastings, Grand Island, Kearney, North Platte and Scottsbluff.

Use of an Optical Trap for Study of Host-Pathogen Interactions for Dynamic Live Cell Imaging
1Department of Medicine, Division of Infectious Diseases, Massachusetts General Hospital, Harvard Medical School, 2Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, The Ohio State University, 3Center for Computational and Integrative Biology, Massachusetts General Hospital, Harvard Medical School, 4Dept. of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, Vanderbilt University
A method is described to individually select, manipulate, and image live pathogens using an optical trap coupled to a spinning disk microscope. The optical trap provides spatial and temporal control of organisms and places them adjacent to host cells. Fluorescence microscopy captures dynamic intercellular interactions with minimal perturbation to cells.

Just came across this, courtesy Kyle Ringo/Scout. The Buffs have a (very) late addition to the 2009 recruiting class. Under the better late than never category, the newest addition to the CU wideouts is Will Jefferson of Vista del Lago HS in Moreno Valley, CA. A 6' 195 lb all purpose player who gained 2400 yards as a WR/RB/KR last year. Best deal is he is a full qualifier which means he should be available this year and ready to roll into Fall camp. Irish/ Woodrow you guys got anything more on this kid? He should be good to go right?
-promoted from fan post section...
One has to wonder if everything is okay with Andre Simmons or is this just an opportunity to grab more depth at receiver. There is not a lot, in fact really anything substantial on the net regarding Jefferson. In fact, rivals.com doesn't even have a profile for him but he has shown some production with 2,400 yards all purpose as an athlete so he might be able to give us some of that Josh Smith game we are going to be without in 2009. Here is all that scout.com has on him:
First team All-Inland Valley League as a senior at wide receiver. He amassed approximately 2,400 all-purpose yards as a wide receiver, running back and kick returner during his second season. He played in the Southern California Fiesta Bowl following his senior year. Complications with his academic records led to him being lightly recruited. He is a full qualifier.
We will get more on Jefferson soon - irish
Here is a statistical breakdown of Jefferson on MaxPreps from last season. Good production as both a running back and a wide receiver.

July 15, 2004
Sumter County - When Tropical Depression Alberto stalled over Sumter County 10 years ago, nearly two feet of rain fell in just 24 hours. That caused deadly flash flooding that swept cars off roads. 15 people were killed in Sumter County.
"I felt like my heart had been ripped out," said Carolyn Hawkins. July 6th, 1994 is a day that Carolyn Hawkins will never forget but sometimes wishes she could. "It was raining very hard." Despite the heavy rainy, it was still a normal morning for Carolyn, her husband and two sons. 16 year-old Kedrick had basketball practice, husband Freddy had to go to work, and 8 year-old Kourtney was going to stay with his grandmother.
"They left out of the yard. I went back to bed, and then the phone rang. It was my son's coach saying they didn't have practice today because water was in the gym." Carolyn called her mother to tell Kedrick not to go to practice, but the boys and Freddy hadn't arrived yet. "I started to get really worried because it was almost seven o'clock and that's when my husband was supposed to be at work."
Carolyn decided to go look for them. "I got in the car and went down the road towards Americus, but they had put up a barricade across the road. I figured they had made it across and maybe the truck had broke down or something."
She went home and waited, growing more concerned by the hour as the water kept rising. "Every time I heard a truck I was hoping it was his truck." Then, came horrifying news. "Then they came in a said they found my husband and then said they had found his body. That's when I knew he was dead."
Freddy Hawkins had turned the truck around at the road barricade that morning and decided to take another route. Hawkins tried to cross Brown Mill Pond Bridge less than a mile away from the house. The weight of the semi truck ahead of him collapsed the already weak bridge, and Hawkin's truck rushed down the swollen creek.
"I fell out. I don't remember anything after the I found out my husband was dead, until I woke in the emergency room." The news sent Carolyn into shock. When she came to, there's was more and more bad news. "They came back that morning and said they had found my baby." But, Kedrick was still missing. "He could swim. I was stilling holding on thinking maybe he got somewhere and got to safety or maybe he's in a tree somewhere." 3 days later, Kedrick's body was also found.
"There's still a lot I don't remember. I was a zombie on medication. I didn't want to remember nothing because I just felt like it was all a dream." A nightmare that other families were living, too.
Jon Hurley Jr., his wife Kathy, and 2 year-old son Jon Alton, III were also driving that rainy day when their car was hit by flood waters. Jon Jr., the only one who could swim, clung to a gas station pump barely sticking out of the water, but his family was swept away. He was rescued the next morning.
Jon and Carolyn - two strangers - now shared a horrific loss. "A man from FEMA called and said John Hurley, a man who lost his family too, was trying to start a support group," said Carolyn. The two met with others who lost families members. The group would talk about their grief and try to heal. "We had so much in common because he had lost also."
The incredible loss they shared bound Carolyn and John. After two years of friendship, the two realized they loved each others. Now ten years later, the proof of their love is evident. Their son, 7-year old Jonathan, brought life back to their hearts.
"He has their names. John's little boy was John Alton, and my son's were Kedrick and Kourtney. We named him Jonathan Alkourdrick so he could have some of all his brothers' names." Names from brothers he will never meet, from families he never knew that through an agonizing twist of fate came together and created life from death.

Three people who celebrated the Bears' season-opener with a few cocktails and few gun rounds shot at a nearby berm were arrested on gun charges Sunday, Joliet police said.
A Roth Drive homeowner called police at about 6:15 p.m. when they heard gunshots east of their house and found a bullet hole in their siding, Cmdr. Al Roechner said. As officers were getting the details, they heard more shots being fired and traced them to a home at 1411 Prairie Creek Drive, he said. The home is located in the Fall Creek subdivision, not far from Theodore Street and Drauden Road.
There, they found two men sitting in lawn chairs and a woman and a 9-year-old boy sitting on a porch, Roechner said.
The adults admitted they had been drinking and decided to celebrate the Bears' 24-21 comeback victory over the Cincinnati Bengals by taking turns firing a 9mm handgun into a berm, he said.
Police recovered 20 spent shells from the area, he said.
Daniel A. Borowiec, 33, who lives at the Prairie Creek house, was charged with reckless discharge of a firearm, possession of ammunition without an FOID card and resisting/obstructing a peace officer.
Casandra D. Metroz, 33, who also lives at 1411 Prairie Creek and is the mother of the 9-year-old boy, was charged with reckless discharge of a firearm and endangering the life/health of a child.
Jeffrey M. Jalley, 31, of 9306 W. 141st Place, Orland Park, was charged with reckless discharge of a firearm and possession of ammunition without an FOID card.
All three are being held in the Will County jail.

Forza 5 is next-gen where it counts, but frustrating due to lack of tracks
Driving has to be its own reward in Forza 5.
There is no real campaign to speak of, instead there are simply series of races that focus on different collections of cars. You race, you earn credits, you buy more cars, and you race some more. You can tackle the races in any order, although you'll have to spend some time saving your credits and grinding the races to pay for the most expensive cars.
Of course, you're always welcome to simply pay real money for them. I'm not ashamed to admit that I did exactly this once or twice.
So the racing has to keep you interested. The good news is that the racing is damned near perfect.
Bring your friends
The most immediately impressive aspect of the game, aside from the next-gen graphics, is the artificial intelligence that fuels your opponents. Every player who sits down to race is training an AI counterpart called a "drivatar," meaning the often artificial feeling of racing against the computer has been replaced with characters that feel like real people.
You can bully them around the corners, as many of them will try to avoid hitting your car. They'll lose control while trying a take an S-curve at high speeds. It's not about racing well, although you'll find drivatars who are very talented indeed. The racers feel real when they make mistakes, and in the middle difficulty levels where most of us will live those mistakes happen often enough to give you a fighting chance.
It's odd to think about, but the racers begin to feel more mechanical as you move up the difficulty; the truly talented racers know the best lines and they understand exactly when to break and how to take each turn. The best drivers are going to feel like machines, while those of us fighting it out and learning our way around the game will provide the majority of the human experience.
The game looks at your friends list first, so your games will be populated with the drivatars of your friends and acquaintances. There is something very surreal about racing against the habits of your friends, even when they're offline.
Keep in mind you'll also be training up your own drivatar, and when you log in every day the game will tell you how many credits your phantom self has earned you when you were offline. Once again, it's very strange to know that your name and racing habits are out there making you cash as you sleep.
Last night my drivatar was in 31 races. A few friends let me know that it wasn't doing that great. I was still happy to accept the cash this brought in.
It's neat to bump into personalities from the world of gaming due to the low number of overall people playing, and there's a lost opportunity here: It would be great if Turn 10 had an option that allowed you to search for and populate your races with specific drivatars. Wouldn't it be great to bring in the director of the game to see how good he really is? What if you wanted to race against Adam Sessler?
It would be very cool if there was a pool of well-known drivatars that you could race against just for fun, regardless of their level in the game. As it stands, right now the game always keeps you with drivatars of like skill level. Still, creating your own "celebrity races" would be a great time. Wouldn't it be great to be able to find my drivatar to see just how good I really am?
The same thing over and over and over
The core racing is great, and you can add or remove as many racing assists as you'd like to make the game feel like an arcade racer or a punishing simulation. It's up to you. If you blow a turn you can rewind a few seconds to try again, which removes a few credits but keeps you from wasting the entirety of a race on one terrible corner.
There are 200 cars to buy and race, and you can explore them inside and out in a sort of museum mode called Forza Vista. Still, that's a significant step down from previous Forza games, and there are only 14 tracks. That's a big step down from the 26 found in the previous Forza title.
That may seem like a good number, but you'll notice the same environments repeating within the first few hours, and you'll have to rely on changing races and cars for variety. And again, this is fewer cars than we're used to.
You also have the ability to create intricate paint jobs for your cars, and upload them for other racers to use. If you create a popular paintjob you'll earn credits as more people download and use your designs. You can also, of course, race against real-world people online, and in real time. The interesting thing is that the drivatar system often makes it feel like you're always online, but the other drivers are silent.
It's blissful, in fact, and it's dimmed my desire to venture online.
It will take players a significant amount of time to earn all 200 cars, but you'll be praying for new tracks long before that happens. The cost of certain cars also seems to nudge you towards dumping in some real money instead of grinding races, not to mention the fact that DLC packs are on the way. This game will take as much money as you want to give it.
Still, when you find a car you enjoy, and you're racing against the virtual representations of your friends and the light spills across your dashboard a certain way and you get lost in the graphics… it's hard to care about these nits. The driving has to be its own reward, and sometimes the game can feel a bit thin, but the core action is so damned good it's hard to get grumpy at the downshift in content.
This is the first step towards AI being crowdsourced, and I can't wait for more games to use a drivatar-like system. This is one the best next-generation games available now.

ANDREWS COUNTY, TX (KCBD) - A new agreement allows Waste Control Specialists to store low-level radioactive waste at their facility near Andrews for up to three years. The agreements settles a dispute over how long they could store the material. State officials initially wanted a one year limit.
The agreement with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality also requires the company to revise its inspection plan and properly handle surface water in a drainage ditch at its site near the New Mexico border.
Some critics say the Ogallala Aquifer, which is one of Lubbock's water sources is under the facility, but the company says it's not and that they don't leak toxic waste.

The Ohio Bobcats rolled past Louisiana-Monroe in the 2012 Independence Bowl Friday afternoon for an easy, 45-14 victory, the second straight bowl win for Frank Solich's Bobcats.
Ohio finished the day with more than 500 yards of total offense; Tettleton threw for more than 300 yards, and Blankenship had a 100-yard rushing day. Those two helped the Bobcats set some new Independence Bowl records:
Ohio scores the most rushing yards, rushing TDs, total offense and margin of victory in Indy Bowl history.— Steven Godfrey (@38Godfrey) December 28, 2012
The Warhawks, on the other hand, were limited to 319 total yards, and quarterback Kolton Browning threw three interceptions.
The Bobcats got off to a fast start, as quarterback Tyler Tettleton connected on a pair of touchdown passes in the first six minutes to give his team a 14-0 lead. The Warhawks responded with a touchdown to cut that lead in half, but that would be as close as they could get. Ohio took a 24-7 lead into halftime.
Ohio picked up where it left off after the break -- running back Beau Blankenship scored two touchdowns to extend the Bobcats' lead to 38-7 with more than nine minutes to play in the third quarter. From there, Ohio was able to salt away the victory, as ULM was not able to mount a rally.

Ted Yoho on Immigration
Solution: We need to secure the border. We have not harnessed the technology, infrastructure and man power to protect our borders and we must do so immediately. I will introduce a workable guest worker program that provides immigrant workers with a national ID card and mandates they pay taxes through a national tax ID number. Finally, the process to become a citizen needs to be completely streamlined and English needs to be recognized as the official language.
A: Yes.
Q: Do you support the enforcement of federal immigration law by state and local police?
A: Yes. Washington has failed to lead on this issue. The first thing we must do is secure the borders. The technology and infrastructure exists to do so. The second thing we must do is issue an ID card for all non-US citizens presently in the US. We need to create a workable guest worker program that will allow migrant workers to go back and forth from their home countries to the United States without hassle. They would pay taxes into the general fund but not receive any benefits. Finally, we need to streamline the path to citizenship.

(04/23/12) - Genesee County Animal Control has removed several abandoned, sick cats from a garage at a Thetford Township home.Thetford Township Police Chief Bob Kenny says the homeowner was evicted a few weeks ago and given until Tuesday to remove the rest of the animals.About 10 cats were taken from the garage, Kenny says. He says there may have been more than 80 animals, cats, chickens, rabbits, peacock and horses, at the home at one point."It appears to be animal hoarding," Kenny says. "You don't tend to find too many people who have over 80 animals, in enclosures inside the house and in outer buildings, to me, that's not normal behavior."Some food and water was left for the animals left behind, but living conditions were "pretty bad" and the cats appeared to be sick, Kenny says.Kenny thinks the woman may have taken some of the animals in OK shape and just left the sick ones.The bank property manager came out to check on the home Tuesday and found the cats in the garage and the chicken coop open, Kenny says. He called Thetford Township Police and they called Animal Control.It's not clear now what will happen with the cats or if there will be criminal charges for the woman.

Pullover Love

I love pullover jackets! Amazing for snowboarding, relaxed fit is nice so you can actually move in it. It's a shell so can be worn all season with baselayers on colder days, all the way through spring riding! Side zip makes it easy to get in and out of.

Cal-Maine Adds 800,000 Dozen Eggs to Recall
August 24, 2010
The nation''s largest egg seller and distributor, Cal-Maine Foods Inc., said it is recalling about 800,000 dozen eggs related to an expanded recall tied to a salmonella outbreak, reports the Associated Press. Cal-Maine was notified by an Iowa egg producer that between April 9 and Aug. 19, the producer sold 32 truckloads of eggs, or about 800,000 dozen eggs, to the company. The affected products were added to the expanded nationwide recall. It wasn''t immediately clear which Iowa producer supplied the Cal-Maine eggs. Cal-Maine said the 800,000 dozen eggs account for about 0.3 percent of its total sales for that period.

UNC's Harrison Barnes With The Sick Putback Dunk and Gus Johnson Loses It
December 5, 2010 by Jon Thompson
Filed under NCAA Basketball, Sports
Comments Off
Harrison Barnes showed us glimpses of the explosiveness we expected to see this year at North Carolina. This putback dunk got the Dean Dome hype and Gus Johnson shows us why we love when he's behind the mic. UNC went on to beat Kentucky 75-73. Junior Tyler Zeller led the way with 27 points, 12 rebounds and 5 blocks. Sounds like another Tyler that played for UNC.

This from the Beaver* County Times:
Atlanta has interest in a couple of Pirates starting pitchers, left-hander Paul Maholm and right-hander Ian Snell, but won't give up top pitching prospect Tommy Hanson in a trade. Washington also has interest in Snell.
I like Snell, and Maholm's not bad. I'd imagine we'd have to give up a decent amount, though.
*In other news, could there be a worse name for a county?

A crowd gathered at the Historic Huntsville Depot on Veterans Day for the unveiling of the "Patriots Mosaic Project." It's made up of about 1,200 photos of men and women from every branch of service.
Earlyworks collected veterans photographs from around the area to complete the 15-by-15 image located at the entrance to the Patriots Pathway. The pathway connects the Depot and the Madison County Veterans Memorial. Jason Carter, who was wounded in action, said, "It was kind of like our anniversary present. My wife sent in a picture of me overseas and I hadn't ever seen it before today."
The mosaic will remain up for one year.

Claustrophobia: The Downward Struggle is an indie RPG roguelike, with a retro graphic style and a terrible sense of humour. The game takes place in a series of ever descending randomly generated dungeon floors, packed full of monsters to slaughter and loot to pillage. The game plays like a traditional roguelike, but with a clean UI, a slick, action orientated combat system, and a massive range of enemy types, skills, gear and room designs. With features like crafting, skill trees, characters development, and just-one-more-room style gameplay, Claustrophobia is a love letter to traditional RPG rougelikes. Create your ideal hero, build your own custom class, then set out on your quest for glory, slaughter, and anything shiny!

Claustrophobia Development Log #13
In which a large number of core game changes are detailed, and the plot thickens...Jul 4, 2014 News
Yes, every previous and new Desura purchase will get a Steam key.
At the moment, no. The old graphics would need their layouts considerably edited in order to work with the new engine, which would add to development time. Since it seems to be a fairly requested feature, I won't rule it out completely, but it definitely will not be in for release I'm afraid.
Haven't played this for a while: some annoyances still in the game:
1) The keyboard randomly stops letting you move sometimes. I had just descended to level 3. I could press direction keys and I would loot bookcases etc. in that direction but it wouldn't move me. I solved it by using mouse to move then it worked from keyboard again.
2) 5 on keypad should work to go down stairs
3) in any game with resting to recover hp and mp you really need a good way to do that fast. If there's no monsters around you are just punishing the player forcing them to press the rest key repeatedly because it doesn't auto repeat, or (better idea but still stupid): running from side to side until full. The best solution to this is to have an auto rest function that rests until something interesting happens, i.e. hp is full, mp is full, a monster appears, something else changes in the world.
My observations so far:
1. make a quicksave button in case of crashes...its annoying to do a dungeon for a while and because of a crash the game gets rolled back
2. the dungeon doesnt give you enough stuff to survive from floor 5 onwards, mobs start to 2-hit you, luckily with the blood strike u can 1-hit stuff which is the only way to survive(as a melee at least), you cant survive otherwise even if you take EVEYTHING, i usually take everything i can that boosts the stats i want and as a warrior you'd expect i can resist some hits but nope, everything can 2-hit me(well almost)
3. make scroll bar for the crafting cause click 100 times to go up and down the list is somewhat unpleasant
4. can something be done about the RNG of the hits? like increasing the hit ratio or something so it doesnt become you died because you missed all the time because you're maybe drunk or you have parkingson...and im talking about normal hits not skilss which usually always hit
PS: Any other relevant problems or observation of other users can be added here if they mention some:)
I'm very sorry for the long gap between patches, this was unfortunately always going to be the case when I decided to start development from scratch. I am working as hard as I can on the new release, which I would hope to see out some time next month.
Thanks for the update! Now I feel like an ******* for making my review so harsh. I think I'll change that now and keep hope for the future :(
Hopefully this is a great learning experience for you and we get to see some new rogues from you in the future. (p.s. the genre is in dire need of a horror rogue...wink wink nudge nudge)
Not at all, I completely understand. I hope that the new release will be worth everyone's wait!
Hands down, I have learnt a massive amount whilst working on Claustrophobia. That's partly why I started again, because I knew I could improve on so much second time around.
I still have a long way to go with Claustrophobia, but I hear you, and I would love to work on a horror roguelike in the future. Roguelike's remain one of my favourite genres, so they will always be my main development focus.

In good conditions an advanced pilot can launch 20-40 feet above the water and soar for up to seven seconds. One of the rushes of the sport is in catching the air and flying. With kiteboarding, you're hanging for football field lengths in the air. It is such a kick because you can spin, flip or just fly. Despite the glamour of the media, you do not have to boost huge air to have a great time kite surfing. Many people enjoy just ripping through the water and working on more technical tricks of the sport.

vacation rental description
This beautiful two bedroom, 1 bathroom modern condo is located where Belltown meets the Seattle Center and is located in the shadow of Seattle's world famous Space Needle.
This property is managed by Seattle Oasis Vacation Rentals. We are a family owned business, and work everyday to redefine your vacation rental experience. Your satisfaction, as our guest, is our goal.
Nightlife, clubs, museums, restaurants and the arts are all just steps from your door in this modern two bedroom condo. Located in Seattle's Belltown neighborhood and one block away from the Seattle Center, you are in the heart of Seattle's urban core.
Enter into this tasteful and restful condo and see an interior you'll be proud to call home, even for a short stay. The living area has Karndean wood floors, and expansive windows, letting in Seattle's wonderful natural light. The kitchen boasts stainless steel appliances, granite countertops and walnut cabinets, and is stocked with all the implements you'll need to cook comfortably. A full sized washer and dryer in the condo means you can pack light, and save those baggage fees for something more fun!
From the living room, step out onto your expansive patio area with the Space Needle to keep you company. Have a seat with your morning coffee, or enjoy an after dinner beverage in Seattle's pleasant, long lasting summer evenings. Book now for New Year's! This condo will have a front row seat for the fireworks!
This building features a 24 hour fitness center, an expansive roof top deck including a penthouse suite, so use-able all year round, and two Zip cars on site.
Convenient to all of the famous Seattle attractions, this condo makes a perfect base for tourists, business travelers, and corporate housing. CenturyLink Field and the Safe (Safeco Field) are about two miles away, the Pike Place Market is 3/4s of a mile to the south (and a comfortable, non-hilly walk or very quick bus or taxi ride), and all the Seattle Center has to offer is just a block or two away. The Washington State Convention Center is one mile away, and a quick bus ride or taxi away. Museums, shopping, nightlife and Seattle's fantastic restaurant scene surround this one of a kind vacation rental.
To be clear, this building does NOT have air conditioning (almost NO buildings-less than 5%- in Seattle have central air conditioning). We do provide fans for your comfort.
Also, be aware that this is a urban environment. In any urban core, you can expect to hear street noise, often late into the evening. If a silent outdoor environment is important to you, downtown Seattle (or any big city for that matter) may not be the best place for you to stay. That being said, this unit in the heart of Seattle--walkable to all the best Seattle has to offer-- and has high quality, noise muffling windows and heavy duty construction. Any questions about this, ask! We want our guests to be happy.

The Cost of Keeping a Secret is the Freedom to be YourselfPosted by Howard County Library System on Nov 28, 2011 in Mental Health | 2 comments
by Angie Engles
Why would someone risk the love and admiration of friends and family by coming out in a community that is more old-fashioned and conservative than most? And how on earth could a celebrity memoir truly be considered life-saving or related to Well & Wise?
"I almost died. The hiding almost killed me. I had pretty masterfully…painted myself into a corner. I'd made a deal with God early on that I'd go without love in my life, just give me music, but when you're 9 years old and brokering deals with God about what you will and won't do, and you don't realize the importance of love and companionship in your life—one really shouldn't be held to those deals." So writes Chely Wright in her memoir, Like Me: Confessions of a Heartland Country Singer.
And what does this exactly have to do with health? Peace of mind, for one thing.
Many gays and lesbians have tried to get "cured," often to disastrous results. Studies show that gays and lesbians who go through "ex-gay therapy" often experience suicidal thoughts, and tragically, sometimes act on them. Prominent anti-gay figures have implied gays and lesbians face higher rates of depression than straight people because of their homosexuality, not the horrific bullying they face on a daily basis and the "ex-gay therapy" they are often forced into by family members.
Sadly, we live in our world where preconceived (and false) ideas about gays and lesbians make coming out as relevant and important as ever. Ms. Wright breaks a lot of the stereotypes about gay women both in her appearance and her strong Christian background and I am amazed by her honesty and sincerity as she describes the pain that she's lived and kept hidden ('til now), making her story almost too real and raw.
Just ask anyone who is still in the closet (hypothetically of course since they are, after all, in the closet) and they most likely will speak of the heartache and loneliness and inner shame of being gay.
Until we live in a world where homosexuality is understood to be just as real and vital as heterosexual love, books like Ms. Wright's will always be needed and read…my soul aches for anyone who has known the excruciating struggle to be "normal" in a world where same gender love is so often met with hate.
I am so glad Chely Wright wrote Like Me. I can't even begin to imagine the good that could have been done if books like this one had been written in earlier decades when there was no one to look to who could show (and tell) us that who you happened to fall in love with did not determine whether you were a freak or not.


text: Coula,woula,shoulda... I know. I see that Preston Wilson is tearing up the ball for the Astros. I was hoping that we picked him up. Then we wouldn't have gotten Jones, which many of you disagree with,not me. It happend when we could have traded Sammy for Cliff Floyd. Floyd was great that year. I know he's struggling now. Also I finally agree with many of you. We should have made the Prior trade for Tejada and Bedard happen. Prior is my favorite player, but Erik Bedard is doing awesome. And Tejada,you all know. They said on ESPN that Bedard is thriving due to Leo Mazzone.

Two different storms
What a nice and welcome change to the usual weather activities ;-) I was on a walk in the mountains, when suddenly the weather changed again! Yet another thunderstorm, ha ha ha … another one, how boring this was! And how could it be otherwise, I was too high up an too far away from any protection! I had no choice but to go down to the valley as quickly as possible! But this time I had no chance! The wind was too strong and I knew that this powerful storm would be quicker as me.
I did quite quickly this photo and then I ran down the mountain with my dog Giorgio. Suddenly it was very cold and it began to rain, oh yes how wonderful this was! But thank God we passed an old farmhouse half an hour later. The farmer was sitting with his wife and dog on a bench and told me "My son, you will not have success! The storm will catch you! Come into my house and wait for the storm to pass!". What should I do? With thanks I accepted the invitation!
It was very funny … we told old stories, ate meat and sausages together and drank wine he he he :-) About midnight I finally arrived at home! And just when I opened the front door, a huge and powerful thunderstorm was awaiting me! If I could choose, I would have preferred the storm out on the mountain. But between us … he he he … it was worth it, and I had a wonderful evening with the farmers :-)

My Thoughts on Cole's First Outing
By LewGerGer
via c4241337.r37.cf2.rackcdn.com
His Line: 6 and 1/3 IP, 7 Hits, 1 HBP, 2 ER, 81 Pitches/ 57 for strikes
Stats: 2.84 ERA, 1.26 WHIP
At the Plate: 1-for-3 with a 2 RBI Single
What a debut for first-overall pick Gerrit Cole. To sum up his first major league start in the quickest way possible, I'd have to say that he gave us all that we could ask for, and then some. He threw with impressive command—throwing his marquee fastball at an impressive velocity, rarely dropping below 96 mph, and throwing 22 balls in his entire outing. The most impressive thing about his control was that he only threw one wild pitch despite the fact that he was maintaining a high speed on all his pitches—a feat that even Justin Verlander would be proud to boast of.
The other memorable thing that Cole did tonight was to truly win over the fans by showing that he doesn't lack skill at the plate either. A half-inning after getting himself out of a bases-loaded jam, Cole was able to step to the plate, with bases loaded, and strike a two-RBI single to center field, which put his team on the board with a 2-0 lead.
Lastly, Cole showed an impressive ability to settle down and work himself out of trouble. In the first inning he worked himself out of trouble with two runners on and one out, in the second inning he worked his way out of a bases loaded situation without letting any runners cross the plate, and in the 4 and 1/3 innings that followed he threw only 47 pitches—retiring 13 batters in a row along the way.
I have to admit that after the first inning I was a bit antsy because his pitch count seemed a bit high for a fastball pitcher, but by the end of the second inning I realized that he wasn't out there looking for strikeouts, he was just out there looking to attack the batters and get some outs. I think this mentality is what has really won me over for Cole so far. While I still wanted him to succeed, I didn't want him to have a debut like the one we saw recently from Stephen Strausburg where he strikes out virtually every batter leaving himself no room for improvement in his young career.
So in conclusion, I have nothing to complain about in Cole's debut and I hope to see much more of the same in the future. Do I want to see more from him this season—yes, will I go insane if Wandy and the Ground Chuck come back strong from the DL and shuffle him out of the rotation—for now, maybe just a little.
*Notes: Also let it be known that he drew a crowd of 30,000 on a Tuesday night in June

Trig Truther and perpetual panicker Andrew Sullivan has been suffering from "profound demoralization" as of late, but today, he took his vile bigotry to another level. Unable to face the prospect of a Romney victory in November, Sullivan joined the ranks of Cher and Adam Levine and desperately lashed out at Romney for his membership in the Mormon Church. Be sure to read the whole sickening tirade.
Twitterers were furious at Sullivan's pathetic attempt to link Romney and his faith to radical racists and rightly tore into him:

In his editorial, Sullivan also trivialized Barack Obama's membership in Rev. Jeremiah Wright's black supremacist church, writing it off as nothing more than a youthful indiscretion:
Imagine further that backing this racist church was not a youthful folly on Obama's part, but a profound commitment – that he went on a mission abroad to convert Christians to a new religion based on black racial supremacy, and has often said that the most important thing in his entire life to this day is a church whose sacred scripture declares white people to be cursed by God for their past sins – and the sign of this curse is their white skin.
A simple question: Do you think this issue would not come up in a general election or a primary? If Obama was subjected to news cycle after news cycle of clips of Obama's actual former pastor, Jeremiah Wright, can you imagine the outrage if Obama had actually been a part of a black supremacist church – that denied whites equal access to the sacraments – for over a decade in his adult life?
What's to imagine? Obama willingly listened to Wright damn America for 20 years.
Conservatives weren't having any of Sullivan's Wright apologism:
.@sullydish Good grief. As if Obama's similar time at Jeremiah Wright's church was a lesson in racial tolerance? PLEASE!—

WVDE News
State Board says Bullying is "Unacceptable in our Schools"
Posted: February 15, 2002
The West Virginia Board of Education believes that public schools should undertake proactive, preventive approaches to ensure a safe school environment and that any form of harassment, intimidation and bullying is unacceptable in West Virginia schools.
At the conclusion of its monthly meeting yesterday in Charleston, the State Board voted unanimously to issue a statement to county superintendents asking them to institute an anti-bullying program, promote a positive school environment that fosters learning, and create a safe and fear-free school environment in the classroom, playground and at school-sponsored activities.
The State Board had worked over the past several months drafting an anti-bullying policy that would provide a model for counties to adopt locally. After much discussion and deliberation, the State Board decided to expand the current student and teacher codes of conduct. Neither of the conduct codes had been revised since the passage of new safe schools legislation.
State board members believe bullying can take many forms including a combination of physical, emotional and verbal abuse and the consequences of bullying are far-reaching and cause problem behaviors, avoidance of school attendance, severe emotional and physical problems.
It was agreed by the Board that counties should develop plans to prevent bullying and develop methods to immediately react to bullying when it occurs. The anti-bullying plan needs to be an integral part of a district-wide safety and discipline plan, board members indicated.
The board encourages total community involvement in addressing the bullying issue. School administrators, faculty, support staff, parents, community members and the entire student body should all be included in this process.
Studies have shown that individuals with a history of bullying are likely to exhibit criminal behavior by the time they reach their mid-20s. Individuals who have been bullied are found to have a higher rate of depression and poor self-esteem.
By striving to prevent bullying, schools reduce risks of violence and teach students resiliency skills, board members noted.

Well, I have spoke at length, mostly in angry posts directed at Bob, that I believe there is a financial and business model running the Avalanche and money will be spent. I do not believe Kroenke is just some cheap owner wanting marginal profits from a cap floor hugging team.
I wrote a fan post in March but evidently never posted it. I tried to set up a blog like Jibbles but, when I named it "See Six Whores", I was shut down by the FCC.* So, I gave up on that plan.
I have always been obfuscated by the claim that Kroenke is content with paltry profits (if he even gets a profit) from a low salaried Avs team. So in my original fan post, I explained why I think Kroenke would spend money and I debunked the other arguments about how cheap he is. Instead of rehashing, I'll summarize my point. Kroenke is a very shrewd investor and a billionaire; money made from incredibly smart investments buffeted by his wife's fortune which, according to Forbes, has not been used in his investments. He made money on shopping malls during a relatively dead real estate time and sold most of it off before the bubble two years ago.
He bought the Avs for 450 million in 2000 and based on normal estimates recouped all of that by the lock out. He did not buy the Avs to make a marginal profit, he bought the Avs to turn a huge profit like all his other investments. He bought the team in the midst of a potential dynasty and that dynasty ended 4 years later. He may have recouped losses but his investment was not as profitable as it could have been. It was not as profitable because the Avs had to spend and trade to win which hurt the future and once that lack of a future reared its ugly head, in 07/08, his profits from ticket sales plummeted.
I went on EDGAR and I compared Kroenke's real estate investments to the Avs (as an investment only); here, I saw a stark similarity. He developed real estate to eventually gain huge profits as most investors do. But he would cut loose investments early that did not turn large profits and would design business plans to ensure good investments paid off immensely. I believe this business model is being applied to the Avs (the hockey details having been adjusted) and I predicted five things to happen this summer based upon this business model:
1) The Avs would spend money on a goalie.
2) The Avs would spend some money on Free Agents.
3) The Avs would adjust for their weak defense.
4) The Avs would begin to rearrange the team make up to show a larger core (outside of Duchene) for the future.
5) The Avs would be a few million over the cap floor.
How did I do?
1) They sure addressed it, but instead of spending on Vokoun they traded for their future goalie. This move both potentially fixes the goalie issue and expands the core of the team. Giguere shows a desire to address needs on a deeper level as well.
2) I actually predicted money would be spend on a forward, but Sherman addressed his defense first. Hejda, and now O'Brien, are free agents who add talent and depth. Kobasew is a wild card. I was expecting someone like Dumont, but Kobasew still adds some scoring and veteran presence. It's not a brilliant signing but it shows a desire to spend money to plug holes.
3) Well they sure as hell did this. Not only did the defense go on steroids but they are tougher, meaner, and the Avs' goals against per game should drop.
4) We now see the future is Duchene, Stastny, O'Reilly, Johnson, Varly, Landeskog, and the 700 defensive prospects. I am sure experts will tell us Johnson is a bust and Varly is a walking wheel chair but it sure looks good going ahead.
5) Yeah, I would be right but for Liles' contract. I never saw that happening but it not only makes sense to get the defense bigger, but it allows Typhan Barriot to find a spot on the team which speaks to adjusting the team to design a core going forward. I will admit there may be a sense of "well we can probably save some money this year if we do this" to the Liles trade, but that is a specific instance, not a team wide plan.
There is the argument Kroenke could have spent more money and made a better team for 2011-2012. However, money will be spent next summer: A LOT of money. Spending a lot of money this summer could have hurt the team in the future but that is a separate argument. These moves and signings show an orchestrated and detailed plan that revolves around a core group of players. It took trades and drafting to build the core and now Sherman began to spend some money (not a ton, but some) on players to plug holes. This is how teams should be made in my opinion and when this team needs to add a Patrick Sharp-type player in Free Agency, I think it is clear they have shown they will.
Kroenke and Sherman spent money this summer on Free Agents, addressed most of the weaknesses (winger depth is still an issue), and showed that we should have faith in the management. Sherman has a plan to make this team compete for the Cup and Kroenke has a business model in place to profit off of that. It is not about him being cheap; it is about the team being successful because a good Avalanche team means a good return for Kroenke. Even if Kroenke is some greedy Scrooge McDuck, it should not matter because his "greed" will produce a great team for us to watch for a long time.

Brightlingsea sailor Rupert White has been picked to represent Britain at this summer's Youth Sailing World Championship.
The 17-year-old was chosen after the recent RYA Volvo Youth National Championships in North Wales.
He and crew Tom Britz caught the eye of selector Sarah Webb Gosling OBE.
The pair will now represent Britain in the World Championships, in Dun Laoghaire, Ireland, between July 12 and 21.
"It's fantastic to be selected for a second consecutive year running," said Colne Community College pupil White.
