Pool Checkers – A Checkers Game with Many Names
Pool checkers–or American pool checkers or shotgun pool checkers, as the game is sometimes known–is primarily played in the United States, particularly in the South-Eastern and Eastern parts of the country.
Just as in Russian and Brazilian checkers, Pool checkers uses flying kings. The rules of the game are actually quite similar to Russian checkers, with the difference being that the checkers pieces stop on the last row when they are crowned.
Pool Checkers Rules
Pool checkers is played on an 8x8 board with a total of 64 squares. The board is arranged so that the double corner is towards the right of each player.
Pool Checkers Moves
Each regular checkers piece is allowed to move towards each square in a forward left or forward motion if that square is empty. Upon arriving on the last row, the piece will then have to stop and be crowned a king.
A king is allowed to move on all squares that are on the 2 diagonals across it, as long as there is no piece between it and the destination square.
Pool Checkers Captures
When there is a choice between two or more captures, a player can choose which capture to make, although he or she can only stop in a square where there are no more captures left available.
A king is allowed to capture an opposing player's checkers piece as long as it is on the same diagonal it is in, and if there are only empty squares between it and the opponent's piece, and if the square on the other side of that piece is unoccupied. It can however stop on any square that is on the same line. If there are any possible captures available from one of these destination squares, the player must continue on with the remaining captures.
End of the Game
Any player that no longer has any legal moves left as a result of being blocked loses the game and the other player is declared the winner.

MoRuf - Fallen
Artist: MoRuf
Producer: MeLo-X
Album: Shades.Of.Moo
Avg Rating: 3.3 ( 3 votes )
It's only Monday, but I'm certain that MoRuf's latest feature will be one of my favorites this entire week. It's safe to say that I have Fallen in love with the record. Not to get overly dramatic with comparisons, but fans of Outkast are sure to fall in love with this record, too. Booth regular MeLo-X's smooth, ambient beat and MoRuf's captivating flow are strongly reminiscent of the A-Town heavyweights. Ruf's lyrical content would make 3 Stacks proud. He really grips you with his well-constructed bars and his creative, unique flow. Fallen can be found on MoRuf's Shades.Of.Moo project, due out tomorrow and available at The DJBooth for stream and download.

SMH: She Spray Painted Her Weave!

WASHINGTON – It's time for the conservative justices on the Supreme Court to get to work.
That's not an accusation of sloth but a reflection of reality. As the court heads into the crucial final weeks of the term, it is apparent that the great majority of remaining decisions will be written by the court's most consistent conservatives.
It's a conclusion drawn from a numbers game that is unique to the Supreme Court and easy enough even for journalists and lawyers, who often joke that they chose their professions on the promise that there would be no math or hard science.
Two facts inform the speculation that always consumes court-watchers this time of year. One, the court divides each term into seven segments called sittings. And two, each justice generally writes at least one majority opinion per sitting.
So at this point in the term, even journalists and lawyers can master a form of Supreme Court bingo that matches the undecided cases from each sitting with the justices who have not written a majority opinion.
For instance, one of the biggest cases of the term – whether the University of Texas may consider race when making admission decisions – is the only case from the court's first sitting in October that has not been decided.
And Justice Anthony Kennedy is the only justice who has not written an opinion from that sitting.
Leading the way
Doug Kendall of the liberal Constitutional Accountability Center looked at the list of remaining cases and came to the same conclusion as others, writing:
Working through these statistics sitting-by-sitting, Justice Kennedy and the Court's conservatives stand ready to author some of the most important rulings of the Term.
Of course, with the composition of this particular Supreme Court, that is something of a truism. But this term's numbers really underscore the point.
With only two weeks left in the term, the court's four-member liberal bloc – Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Stephen Breyer, Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan – has produced a combined 30 majority opinions.
On the other hand, the court's four most consistent conservatives – Chief Justice John Roberts and Justices Antonin Scalia, Samuel Alito and Thomas – have produced only 20.
Ginsburg, the senior justice among the liberals, has written nine opinions, more than any other justice. Alito, one of the most conservative, has turned in only three.
(The statistics-gatherers at SCOTUSblog make it particularly easy to play this game at home.)
Only two cases remain from the February sitting, one of them among the most important of the term: the continued viability of a key section of the Voting Rights Act. The case concerns Section 5, which requires federal approval of any voting law change in certain states and jurisdictions that Congress found had discriminated in the past.
The bad news for those who say the law is still vitally necessary: Only Roberts and Scalia have not written an opinion from that sitting. Both were sharply critical of the law during oral arguments, and Roberts warned in a previous case that Section 5 may no longer meet constitutional muster.
From the March sitting came the court's marquee cases of the term – the two involving same-sex marriage – as well as a voting-rights challenge to an Arizona law. All four of the court's liberals have written opinions in noncontroversial cases from that sitting; only Thomas among the conservatives has written an opinion from then.
Of course, it doesn't require a scorecard to know that Kennedy probably holds the key to the use of affirmative action in higher-education admissions. (The bigger question is what's taking so long: The court has decided 46 cases argued after Fisher v. University of Texas.)
Likewise, he was the focus of arguments in the same-sex marriage cases: whether the Defense of Marriage Act unconstitutionally withholds federal benefits from same-sex couples legally married where they reside, and California's Proposition 8, prohibiting same-sex marriage in that state.
His pivotal role reflects that while Kennedy most often sides with conservatives, he wrote the court's most recent victory for gay rights and has not been as willing as others on the right to prohibit racial considerations.

Selena Gomez Tops Most Beautiful List
At midnight, Most Beautiful List named Selena Gomez the most beautiful woman in the world for the second year running. Selena Gomez has proven that she is confident with her role as one of the most popular women in Hollywood. She has also transcended her role as a teen icon to being a young star in the eyes of decision makers from television networks to brands across the globe.
"When Most Beautiful List was narrowing down the top ten, we could not avoid the most powerful brands in the teen market segmentation. Selena and Taylor. For us it was a tough decision between number 1 and 2. Selena just exudes a confidence and a natural sense of poise that has won over our decision makers. However Taylor Swift is clearly the Most Beautiful Woman in music," says Richard Victor Mahee (Mahvrick), Most Beautiful List.
Shawn King, Larry Kig's wife, was ranked number 25. Notables in the top Twenty over 40 years old was Dionne Warwick. Pageant nominee, Connor Boss was named number 6 among the Most Beautiful Women in the World and Under 25 years old, were Kylie Jenner and 19 year old model Brooke Crist.

to make an image like the on in mine, Destiny's or Bodine's sig areas you'll need to get a graphics program. the best is Adobe Photoshop, but that's expensive.
the second best, and free, option is a program called GIMP. look it up, download it, read some tutorials and stuff, and soon you'll be making your own stuff.

Foods served in a "bread bowl"
- steakman55 Jan 28, 2009 04:57 PM
Just one of the fads that irritate me. It is not worth eating, and is sometimes awkward. 99% of all people who mention something served in one, such as chowder or chili, never comment on the actualy food itself, just that "it's served in a bread bowl." Am I alone in irritation, or do I need to be worried about the economy and terrorism?
re: spellweaver16
Nah, in SF at least, it's a sourdough boule.
re: xanadude
I do have to admit my experiences have been mainly with Perkins lol The spaghetti in a breadbowl was interesting and enough carbs for a week!
Why would you ask? Of course it's one of those lame faux-elegant styles from bygone days.
I can hear it now ... "Boss, the banquet party's here and we're out of bowls!" "Remember those stale rolls I told you to throw out? Fish 'em out of the dumpster, I've got an idea!"
I don't care for the idea; it just seems as if it would negate any goodness the bread had and it seems gluttonous to boot.
I guess I'm in the minority, but I actually prefer a bread bowl when eating something like soup or stew, it soaks up all the delicious juices.
I love bread. The more opportunities I have to eat it the happier I am. And like marietinn wrote, it soaks up all the delicious juices.
Splash Cafe in Pismo Beach, CA has some of the best clam chowder and they serve it in a fresh sourdough bread bowl and they carve out the top of the bread and grill it in butter. (see the photo)
I like it. Provided the bread is good (preferably toasted), and the bowl's not too big. the large bread bowls are incredibly wasteful. One can't even eat a small bread bowl. Even the smallest I've seen are equivalent to 3 slices of bread, and the large are often equivalent to 8 slices!
re: madgreek
I could eat a small one if it had soup in it. The only thing is, it looks like a starter, and that could fill you up
I'm with you, steakman, food served in a bread bowl is wasteful and annoying. I'd like to be able finish all my soup (or chili, or whatever) without needing to eat the usually inordinate amount of bread that makes up the bowl. Fortunately this is a phenomenon whose manifestation appears to be inversely related to the overall quality of the dining establishment, so by following Chowhound tips I rarely encounter it.
Don't stop worrying about the economy and terrorism, though. ;-)
Where is it written that if it is served in a bread bowl that you are obligated to eat the bowl? I have never done that unless it was soaked up with such good juices that I couldn't resit. Even at that, just a few nibbles. When you have a taco salad do you eat the entire taco shell it comes in? I don't. Now mu daughter makes a juicy artichoke/spinach dip in a bread bowl where she toasts the inside of the bowl to use as a dipper instead of chip, and that bowl is good enough to slice up into chunks and eat, after sprinkling with some parm and broiling a bit.
re: danhole
In fact, there was a recent thread on the Home Cooking board about a dip similar to the one you mention (sans artichoke). Whenever that dip hits a social gathering, people are definitely chowing down on the bread bowl. But when we make it, we get a nice pumpernickel or sourdough boule, fresh from the bakery--nothing stale.
Agree with others--soup in a bread bowl is its own meal. And kind of a comforting one given the winter weather here in CT.
re: kattyeyes
Yes it does have to be a fresh loaf of bread to be sure! It seems that whenever I have a taco salad the taco shell tastes a bit stale to me, that's why I don't eat it. I may nibble at the top, but not the whole thing. And I absolutely do not like croutons in my salads, or crackers in my soups.
re: danhole
It's very simple: I want to eat all the soup. I don't want to have to eat a pile of bread to get it all. If I want bread with my soup, I'll control the portion, thank you very much.
Can't see it with anything but soup. And it's not really something I see very often anyway outside of the likely suspect chains (Panera, etc.)
But, it plants the idea so sometimes I'll do this at home, with homemade soup or chili. There's a local store where I can usually get a small sourdough boule from a local bakery, and it comes out pretty good. I would eat most of the bowl in this case, but if so this would be the entire meal, just the soup in a bowl.
Of course, I happen to like bread rather a lot.... ;-)
Love bread, love soup, just don't like bread bowls. I want to dip more of the crusty bread into the soup than I can, and the mush factor turns me off.
It also appears rather wasteful, as most people don't eat the bowl (or taco shell).
A cute gimmick I'll probably try with my niece and nephew to make dinner time more interesting.
I would also outlaw croutons. I refuse to eat toast that's put into my salad. (not joking)
re: gafferx
With you on that one too. Also shredded cheese on salads, especially the ones so covered with cheap cheddar that you can barely see the greens - but like bread bowls, this is a decidedly low-class phenomenon, so thanks to my fellow 'Hounds I rarely have to deal with it.
re: gafferx
Each to their own. I love croutons...
re: Kajikit
Of course Kajikit
Women like toast in their salad and guys don't (with all due respect)
re: gafferx
I pick croutons out and give them to my husband. :)
re: Caralien
there are exceptions to every rule otherwise there wouldn't be any (rules)
re: gafferx
Interesting thesis. It's true that my wife likes croutons and I don't, but that's not nearly a large enough sample to generalize from. Shall we start a poll?
re: gafferx
Even if you try to split it down as croutons only, it will start branching out into other things: girly drinks, hollandaise/cream sauces, pastries, cake and cookies, coffee vs tea...
re: Caralien
OK so "vive la difference" (I think they say that in France)
re: gafferx
Sshhh! Don't let aynrandgirl hear you say that! (about hot sauces, I mean)
re: BobB
my husband likes hot sauce, but not as much as I do:
re: gafferx
Raw onions, especially at lunch places. I've stood in line at places and heard person after person ordering their salad or sandwich without onions. Nobody wants to eat these (or should be eating them) in the middle of the business day.
I do like clam chower in a bread bowl on a cold night. I would never think to eat the ENTIRE bowl (didn't know that ppl did!) but if it is a fresh and crusty bowl, I love to rip off pieces and dunk.
It's kinda like those fried taco shells that some salads are served in. I would never eat the whole shell, but it's nice to have the option of breaking off pieces to scoop up salad.
re: L_W
How exactly do you scoop up the salad with the taco shell (honest question)? We tried so many times when I was a teenager until I finally gave up. (exploding bowl, bowl cracking in half, only a tiny piece coming off...when the perfect piece came off, the shredded lettuce and everything else wouldn't stay on)
re: Caralien
There WAS a fork involved. I have seen two types of these taco shells. One, like Taco Bell's is a fried version and a BIT harder to scoop with. But when they come in shells that are basically a hard taco shell, it's a lot easier. I have not had one in ages (I don't eat beef anymore) but I would also focus my "scooping" on the beef/cheese/toppings, rather than the lettuce. As for how to break off pieces, I would have to physically show you in order to full explain, but it's possible!
I like soup or chilli served in a bread bowl because it soaks up a lot of those delicious juices and I can scrape the inside out and eat it... for anything else it's just plain silly!
I would ask for my soup or chili to be served in a ceramic bowl, and my bread sliced up and served on the side ( the whole loaf). Ask for some butter too and a doggie bag for the leftover bread. If they have rice, I'd like a side of that with my chili. That's why I need the doggie bag because I probably won't eat all the bread, but why waste it. I can take it home and make cinnamon toast , or feed it to my resident squirrels and birds. I wouldn't be too happy with a soggy bread bowl, though.
I serve white chicken chili in a small sourdough boule and it is excellent.
I also serve spinach dip in a bread bowl, and we sit and tear the bowl apart after and eat the bread.
What I have never understood is that so many people serve spinach dip in "King's Hawaiian Bread" which is sweet. I think it is because it is the most common unsliced round loaf at the grocery store here, but it sure doesn't go with spinach dip IMO.
re: AngelSanctuary
Hopefully they make croutons or use it for a filler in meatloaf or a stuffing. I would hate to think they just toss it. At least feed the birds with it!

Entrepreneurs: Ryan Grepper and the CoolestThursday, July 17th, 2014
Ryan Grepper's Coolest is proof that necessity is the father of invention.
Not that his invention is a necessity and it won't save the world or even a little bit of it, but it will make your summer fun easier.
The original galvanized metal cooler was patented in 1954.
Coleman introduced a plastic liner in 1957 and wheels were added a couple of decades later.
But nothing, including the fancy electric versions, even comes close to Grepper's Coolest.
There are far more moving parts to manufacturing a complicated product such as Coolest, which Grepper seems to understand.
It's also nice to see a "real" product from a twenty-something that while focused on fun will generate revenue through sales, not ads.
Obviously, others agree. Coolest has raised over $5.5 million dollars from more than 29,000 people—and the campaign still has 42 days to run.
Coolest is definitely a global business in the making.
I'm sure it won't be long before he will have to choose between building a company and selling or licensing his technology.
What would you do?

Seattle Times education reporter
For the Seattle School District, closing five elementary buildings was a matter of dollars and cents.
But here at Rainier View, on the southern cusp of the city, teachers and students said goodbye to a community.
About 100 alumni, neighbors, students and parents gathered for a farewell party on Wednesday. The word of the night: "bittersweet."
For many kids, Rainier View was the most stable thing in their lives, a place where everyone knew their name, where Principal Cathy Thompson doled out hugs, where the welcome sign is printed in five languages.
On Friday, the tiny, 46-year-old Rainier View will close for good, and the school will be folded into nearby Emerson Elementary.
That's tough for Dean Donaldson, who said he moved across the street from Rainier View so his two kids could walk to school. Now, they will have to take the bus to Emerson. "It's going to be an adjustment," he said.
Asked what he'll miss about Rainier View, Donaldson's 7-year-old son, Emanuel, replied: "Everything."
Rainier View, along with Viewlands, Fairmount Park and Whitworth elementaries, will merge with other schools next fall. Orca Alternative K-5 is set to move into the Whitworth building. Those schools, too, had goodbye events of their own.
Martin Luther King Elementary closed last year, and its program merged with T.T. Minor.
Teacher Zoé McGuire said Rainier View felt like a big family, and she remains unhappy with the School Board's decision to close it. Academics were improving, she said. There was tight camaraderie among the staff.
"It was something unique," she said. "I want people to know that schools like this are doing really, really good things."
McGuire will not to go to Emerson next year but will take another assignment in the district. Only six of Rainier View's 19 certified teachers are going to Emerson, along with about 170 of the 229 students.
Rainier View and Emerson are poor and ethnically diverse. Roughly 77 percent of Rainier View students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. Twenty-six percent passed the reading, writing and math sections of the Washington Assessment of Student Learning last year.
About 78 percent of kids at Emerson are eligible for free or reduced lunch, and 15 percent passed the WASL.
Rainier View kids have already visited Emerson, and the two schools held a joint field day to get the kids acquainted.
But Thompson said it was important that Rainier View maintain its identity and sense of community throughout the year.
To foster school pride, students wore red Rainier View wrist bands. The older kids wrote transition-themed poetry. Posters in the hallways had messages asking how they felt about the changes, and what they will bring to the new school.
Thompson, who will become principal at Roxhill Elementary in the fall, didn't want the children to see moving boxes around, so teachers and administrators have until Tuesday to pack before the doors are chained shut.
Every computer must be reconfigured, and librarians have been sorting out which books will be merged into the Emerson library and which will become surplus.
District archivist Eleanor Toews has visited each classroom in all the schools that are closing.
She looked for scrapbooks, photographs, plaques and other memorabilia she can place in the 7,000-square-foot warehouse at district headquarters. There wasn't much material at Rainier View, she said. A few photographs; that's about it.
The school's closest brush with fame came when it was mentioned in a 2004 article in Sports Illustrated about basketball stars Brandon Roy and Nate Robinson, who attended Rainier View.
While the mood was festive during Wednesday's celebration, there was sadness as well. In the office, five boxes of tissues were laid out for folks who needed to dry their eyes.
For teacher Katie Handy, that moment will likely come Friday, when the last bell rings.
"We're going to burst into tears," she said.

Team Flux in: Which Way's West - Part 1Team Flux in: Which Way's West?
Part 1 of 5
Written by James Smith
Based off the Storyarc by BreakoutKid
Narrator: The old west...Rough, rugged, and rallied-up with some of the deadliest outlaws known to man, like The Wrong Riders, who had just finished tunneling out of prison.
(We then see our lead villains, The Wrong Riders, Wrongo, Clem and Ian, reaching the surface world out of an underground tunnel)

There was a time when actor Jim Carrey wasn't shut out of every Hollywood Blockbuster and set aside to voice in Animated Movies, and that time was The 1990s, where he starred in movies such as, "The Truman Show", "Liar Liar", "Dumb and Dumber", "The Mask" and today's subject of Interview: "Ace Ventura: Pet Detective".
