It's possible you might be familiar with Jonas Kyratzes' philosophical point-and-click, The Infinite Ocean. It was originally released back in 2003. Not entirely satisfied with the finished product Kyratzes has revisited the game and re-released this new version with changes to the writing, programming and music.

Sep 2010
In an alternate future, Britain's sprawling population is kept in tight check by a mandatory Curfew... all for their own safety, of course. Citizenship isn't so easily obtained, discrimination is everywhere, and if you're lucky, the government looks at you as just another number. If you're not, well... Kieron Gillen and BBC bring us a point-and-click game about civil rights and liberties, where the goal is to find someone you trust enough with some extremely sensitive information before time runs out.
Sep 2010
If you're younger than a certain age, you've probably never thought, "Wouldn't it be great if I could take part in my favorite radio dramas?" But the advent of podcasting has borne a renewed interest in all sorts of languishing radio formats, including radio drama (or "TV without pictures"). It's true, really! Now BBC and Radio Scotland bring us an interesting experiment in combining the audial thrills of radio drama with the interactivity of online gaming. Legacy is a sound-heavy adventure game, telling a tale of secrets, cryptic clues, and underground vaults.
Jul 2010
There's something strange about Alicia and Victor's new apartment. And maybe something stranger about their new landlord. This first installment in a new point-and-click adventure series from Anders Gustafsson combines a unique look with a surreal story to whet your appetite for the upcoming chapters.
Jul 2010
Somewhere there's a place littered with bones and the remains of an ancient civilization... and you've been drawn to it, alone. Gregory Weir's striking exploration title may lack enough direction to ensnare all players, but packs a significant wallop in the atmosphere department, and provides an intriguing story if you're willing to track it down.
Jun 2010
Blue Lacuna is one of those rare experiences that turns your set of assumptions about a medium on its head. Like Memento or The Usual Suspects or The Outsider, Aaron Reed's game transcends its medium to become more than the sum of its parts, an artwork that leaves a measurable change in the player. You might finish this game, but it may never leave you alone.
Apr 2010

Mar 2010
What's in a dream? April Ryan, a struggling art student, doesn't think there's much to the strange nightmares she's having. But she's wrong.

Aug 2009
Roses are red, violets are blue, this little point-and-click adventure is just for you! Learn the language of love to help one confused fellow win back his sweetheart after taking her for granted. Short, sweet, and silly, Finding My Heart is a clever take on the genre where hunting for words and actions instead of objects is what you'll need to do to win the day.
Jul 2009
The first part of a trilogy, The Freewill Cycle: Volume 1 is in essence a simple point-and-click escape game created in classic adventure game style. You awake in a room.

Jun 2009
How do you raise a dragon? As you progress through this unique interactive story adventure from Gregory Weir, you'll find it's more complicated than strapping on a pair of fireproof gloves and stocking up on cattle. The choices you make can have unexpected consequences, and multiple endings based on the path you take will have you coming back to this one again and again.
Jun 2009
At first glance, Scarygirl comes at you blazing on all cylinders like a triumph in Flash game production values. From the very start of the introductory cinematic sequence, the player is offered a glimpse at what appears to be one of the most fantastic Flash games to ever appear on the Web. In the end, the good outweighs the bad. Players can put up with loose controls, slipping and sliding their way through levels, when the brilliance of the rest of the game is so appealing. Every element combines to lift Scarygirl above the competition, serving to create one of the most exasperating yet fulfilling Flash games available today.
May 2009
Braid is a groundbreaking platform game created by Jonathan Blow. With a deep, intriguing storyline, gorgeous artwork, enchanting music, and the unique ability to manipulate time, Braid is built from dozens of unique puzzles (no filler material) that will challenge your ability to think laterally while inspiring your philosophical mind to search for meaning with every object you encounter.
May 2009
Dead Like Ants is a sublime piece of interactive fiction by C.E.J. Pacian. You are an unnamed female ant, a simple worker.

Your mother, the Queen has requested your presence Every spring, it seems, five dangerous creatures come to the colony and threaten the safety of all therein. When this occurs, the Queen sends one of her daughters to negotiate with these monsters, thereby averting trouble for another year. This spring, you are the chosen emissary.
Mar 2009
Don't Look Back is a modern retelling of the story of Orpheus and Eurydice, although there are subtle differences. For one, the mythical greek poet favored a harp over a handgun, and for another, he didn't need your platforming skills to guide him on his journey.
Feb 2009
Point and click adventure games will never die, thanks in part to the efforts of Wadjet Eye Games, creator of the Blackwell series, The Shivah, and now, Emerald City Confidential. In the studio's latest title you are cast in the role of Petra, a young private eye trying to make a living in the strange Wizard of Oz-inspired world known as Emerald City. The handdrawn artwork is utterly captivating, the storytelling and writing top-notch, and the game itself is a package you won't be able to tear yourself away from.
Feb 2009
The Strange and Somewhat Sinister Tale of the House at Desert Bridge is an unconventional point-and-click narrative adventure by Jonas Kyratzes, the same developer who brought us Infinite Ocean and Museum of Broken Memories. It's not actually a game, per se, so much as a trans-dimensional portal or a window. Above all else, this game is a story. A cute, endearing, wonderful story that gradually peels back its soft-edged veneer to reveal something that is indeed a little sinister, thrusting the player from humor into apprehension into sadness.
Dec 2008
How close are you with your family? What if you received a letter from an uncle one night, asking for your help in investigating rumours of an ancient culture deep in the wilderness? Would you pack your bags and head out to help? You might. But the blood on the ground when you arrived might give you serious pause. How bad could things be, right? As befits the first chapter in a series of adventures, you're going to end this one with more questions than you started with, and maybe, just maybe, a prickling feeling of unease at the back of your neck.
Oct 2008
At long last, after a year and a half of waiting, Tucker Bowen has released Something Amiss Chapter 3, the final installment of his truly excellent point-and-click adventure saga. This chapter finds the intrepid escaped test subject Alice back in custody, awaiting her fate at the hands of persons unknown.
Jul 2008
Dangerous High School Girls in Trouble is an innovative and award-winning download game for both Mac and Windows that defies classification. It's a unique genre-bending game that includes puzzle and RPG elements, as well as a variety of mini-games. All these disparate elements synthesize remarkably well, and the gameplay quickly becomes intuitive.
Dec 2007
Who doesn't love Trilby? All debonaire and gentlemanly in that pin-stripe suit, it's enough to melt even the chilliest of hearts. He's a fine character to introduce us to the Chzo Mythos, a series of four point-and-click games (Windows, freeware) in which the player is offered the chance to unravel the mystery of... well, that's really for you to find out.
Jul 2007

Mar 2007
In Gateway 2 you again guide a robot, through a dream-like setting, in order to solve numerous and varied mini-puzzles for a seemingly unknown purpose (though a purpose there is, as you soon discover). Using well-placed musical cues and subtle environmental sound the author has created a virtual world that draws you in from the moment you launch the game. The setting and aesthetics are so enticing and mysterious, it doesn't matter at first that you don't know what your ultimate goal is (or indeed if you have one).

Humans colonized the world ages ago, but an advancing glacier threatens to overtake the city and eradicate its inhabitants. As you try to negotiate a deal to bring the colonists back to Earth, a web of mysteries begins to unfold itself. This might not be an easy job after all.
Nov 2006
Rabbits are blue and red, seals enjoy sea shells, and foxes make successful hotel owners.

The main character is Blue Rabbit, who, like your average rabbit, equipped with a digital camera, sets out on a quest to help the natives of the various islands to solve their problems with the local weather.
Oct 2006
Nimian Flyer Legends is a 3D action adventure game by Protopop Games. You play the role of a young dragon named Salamond on a quest to defeat seven legendary beasts. Armed with fire-breath and the ability to pick up many objects, you'll have to use your speed and wits to battle each unique foe. Nimian Flyer Legends has a remarkably full 3D world to explore coupled with a grand soundtrack. It's a surprisingly lengthy game that feels more like an epic journey than a pick-up-and-play flash title.
Sep 2006
Just launched by the BBC History team along with the design and technical prowess of those amazing Preloaded folks (wasn't I just pining for something new from them?), CDX is a brand new multi-episode adventure game that uses real actors and video segments to spin a tale of mystery and intrigue around an ancient Roman sacrificial blade.
Jul 2006
L'expresso Empoisonné (The Poisoned Coffee) is a superb point-and-click mystery game created by Anode and Cathode, the authors of The Museum, The Casino and others. Paintings and other artwork have been stolen from a museum gallery. All of the evidence points to Damien Bestieu, one of the featured painters.
Jun 2006
Pricilla Gone Missing is a Flash point-and-click adventure from Johan Törnkvist, a talented design and technology student at Hyper Island in Kariskrona, Sweden.

From Ben Leffler of Australia comes this dark and foreboding tale of the macabre that will surely send chills down your spine.

Dec 2005
This second game of the Samorost series lives up to the lofty expectations set by the first. It is every bit a sequel that includes all of the best qualities that made the first game remarkable, and then adds more environments, more puzzles, and more sound and music. The result is a game that continues the reputation set by the first as being one of the finest, compelling interactive experiences available on the Web today. It is altogether an exceptional work of interactive art.
Nov 2005
Kafkamesto is an unusual and dark interactive narrative that will at first seem familiar to those acquainted with point-and-click adventures, but beware the futility in store. The over-arching narrative seems to be as much a statement about Kafka's own life as it is the themes he often wrote about.
Oct 2005
The Stone of Anamara is a creepy point-and-click adventure game, created by Gabriel Rodriguez, that spans multiple chapters. In this first chapter, you uncover the story behind the asylum doctor, Alexander Graves, and the mysterious illness of one of his patients.
Oct 2004
A very creepy, very scary Flash adventure game from Ben Leffler of Australia. Exmortis begins with you waking up in the woods with a lump on your head and unable to recall how you got there. All you recall are the dreams. Regaining focus, you see a house up ahead and decide that shelter there is better than freezing to death in the woods. Think of the house at the end of Blair Witch and you'll be right at home.

Legendary investor Jim Rogers talks about his beginnings in investing, his best investing decision, and the best advice he's ever received, CNNMoney reports.
Rogers says his best investing decision was teaching his girls Chinese. "In their lifetimes, Mandarin is going to be the most important language," he comments. "And I'm teaching them about Asia."
What's the best advice Rogers has ever received?
"Figure out what's really happening by figuring out the money, and then you can probably succeed yourself. Don't beleive most of the stuff you read on the newspapers or on TV. They're just rattling off the party line. If you can figure out where the money is really coming from and where the money is really going, then you'll probably be very successful in your life."

Quick and Healthy: 15-Minute Breakfasts to Crave
When you need to get yourself and the kids out the door in the morning, every minute counts. Thankfully, preparing a delicious, healthy breakfast doesn't have to take all morning. These quick meals are ready in just 15 minutes or less.
Need to make dinner in a hurry, too? Try these healthy, quick ideas for busy weeknights, or give these low-calorie pasta recipes a chance.
Strawberry Bruschetta
Astoundingly good for minimal effort, this makes an indulgent weekend breakfast or anyday dessert. A judicious smear of mascarpone (half the fat of butter) is part of the luxury, but even lighter low-fat cream cheese will work as well. The real secret is warming the berries just enough to make the flavor bloom and transform their juices into a rosy syrup.

StarOffice 5.2
Manufacturer: Sun Microsystems
E-Mail: firstname.lastname@example.com
Price: Free download (shipping and handling for media)
Reviewer: Stephanie Black
The need for business applications that run on Linux is well documented. We all want something that will further diminish the hold of the Redmond Contingent on the corporate market. We want to be able to cheer on anyone bold enough, brash enough and bright enough to create a successful rival to Microsoft Office 2000. "Successful" is the key word here.
This certainly is an office suite. The manual says you can do everything administrative from "one place". It's described as "intuitive". The first claim assumes that the user has no temporal requirements with respect to those administrative tasks: it can take a while just to find the required administrative task. The second claim assumes that the user has been doing this sort of work for far too long, only under one other operating system. "Star" quality is elusive.
Granted, it doesn't cost a few hundred units of your local currency, even if you want the media. It installs without a hitch. It no longer requires every iota of available memory to run, unlike its predecessors. It's not a "special" or "millennium" edition. It's available for several different platforms. It doesn't crash when you open it. Technically, all the pieces are there in nearly the exact order as described in the manual. It apparently works as a word processor, presentation tool and Swiss Army Knife clone. And, I have to admit, the technical support available for it really is superb.
The problem is, someone decided StarOffice should follow St. Paul's dictates, to wit: to be all things to all people. StarOffice is not, and will never be, all things to all people. If it manages to be a simple suite of office software that is clean, original, functional and comprehensible, it will be enough for thousands. Especially if running it on 64MB of RAM makes for a quick initialization, as opposed to one during which you can talk with your lawyer, editor, mother-in-law and local bill collectors and still have time to get a cup of Starbucks Special before the software is ready to actually use.
Hint: there's a Start button at the bottom left of the application window, and it's labeled that way. The butterfly pixmap makes no difference to the functioning of the software. Really.
You will not necessarily require a whole Gig of either hard drive space or RAM to install StarOffice. Both, admittedly, might be helpful if you're going to use really large databases, but they're not necessary. I chose a custom installation of about 250MB running on SuSE 6.4. You can choose parts of packages, if you don't want the full allotment of graphics, templates, effects and backgrounds, but wish for only a selection of those gallery items that suit your purposes. This applies to other components of StarOffice as well. For this review, Draw, Image, Basic and Calc were omitted.
Note: StarOffice includes a kind of BASIC for macro and script creation. This would have usable applications under Windows but under Linux seems rather misplaced, given that C is the mother tongue of Penguinese and Bash.
It is cause for concern that, by default, the "Integrated Desktop" option is enabled in StarOffice. A splash screen is something common enough with applications run in a GUI environment. A suite of applications taking over the desktop without the user's knowledge (or choice) is something else entirely. However, deselection of View --> Integrated Desktop (or Ctrl-Shift-l) will allow you to keep your chosen desktop and reduce the desktop to an application-size window.
To get started, you will need to look for a vertical grey arrow on the left-hand border of the desktop window. By opening Click & Go (see Figure 2) you will see a list of choices of what you can do.
please help me
can you please send me a detail on how to make a certificate using Star office writter I'm having a hard time doing my project.. please help me.. as soon as possible. please send me a link. thank you very much.. God bless
As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

Valentine's Day is coming up and since I don't want you to have to rush out to the store to buy me candy or flowers, I'll make it easier on you and instead only ask that you "like" a comment on a Facebook page.
A local radio station is sponsoring a giveaway and I can totally see myself being super thrilled if I won. Roses and gift certificates are just a couple of the prizes.
In order for me to win, my comment on the radio station's Valentine contest Facebook post has to have the most "likes". That's where you come in. I don't ask for favors very often and hope I'm not offending anyone by pleading for favors now, but the comment with the most "likes" is what wins the contest. If you're so inclined to help me, I'd be much obliged. (Said in my sweetest Southern Belle tone).
This is what you need to do:
Go to the 97.9 KICK-FM Facebook page.
Find this wall post:
Here's your chance to win a very nice Valentine's package! Comment below what you would like for Valentine's Day...the more creative the better! Then share this with your friends and tell them to "like" your comment! The person who has the comment with the most "likes" will win $50 gift certificates from Geise Jewel Box and The Maine Course restaurant and a vase of fresh roses from Wellman Florist! You can comment until Monday, February 13th at 9am! If there is a tie, we'll select a winner from those tied using random.org! One comment per person please! Remember to have your friends vote for your comment to improve your chances at winning!
Once you see that wall post, scroll down until you find my comment. It's the 36th one and has a picture of me next to it. Just in case you're not sure of my name and only know me as Heck Of A Bunch, it'll be the comment that Terra Heck (me!) posted. Once you find my comment, click "like" and that's it.
I swear, it shouldn't take but a couple minutes of your time and it'll keep you from having to think of what else to get me for Valentine's Day.
Disclaimer: I received no compensation for this post. I just totally wanna win!

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

Disaster Recovery:
Past Experiences Offer Insights for Recovering from Hurricanes Ike and Gustav and Other Recent Natural Disasters

This month, Hurricanes Ike and Gustav struck the Gulf Coast producing widespread damage and leading to federal major disaster declarations. Earlier this year, heavy flooding resulted in similar declarations in seven Midwest states. In response, federal agencies have provided millions of dollars in assistance to help with short- and long-term recovery. State and local governments bear the primary responsibility for recovery and have a great stake in its success. Experiences from past disasters may help them better prepare for the challenges of managing and implementing the complexities of disaster recovery. GAO was asked to identify insights from past disasters and share them with state and local officials undertaking recovery activities. GAO reviewed six past disasters-- the Loma Prieta earthquake in northern California (1989), Hurricane Andrew in south Florida (1992), the Northridge earthquake in Los Angeles, California (1994), the Kobe earthquake in Japan (1995), the Grand Forks/Red River flood in North Dakota and Minnesota (1997), and Hurricanes Katrina and Rita in the Gulf Coast (2005). GAO interviewed officials involved in the recovery from these disasters and experts on disaster recovery. GAO also reviewed relevant legislation, policies, and its previous work.
While the federal government provides significant financial assistance after major disasters, state and local governments play the lead role in disaster recovery. As affected jurisdictions recover from the recent hurricanes and floods, experiences from past disasters can provide insights into potential good practices. Drawing on experiences from six major disasters that occurred from 1989 to 2005, GAO identified the following selected insights: (1) Create a clear, implementable, and timely recovery plan. Effective recovery plans provide a road map for recovery. For example, within 6 months of the 1995 earthquake in Japan, the city of Kobe created a recovery plan that identified detailed goals which facilitated coordination among recovery stakeholders. The plan also helped Kobe prioritize and fund recovery projects, in addition to establishing a basis for subsequent governmental evaluations of the recovery's progress. (2) Build state and local capacity for recovery. State and local governments need certain capacities to effectively make use of federal assistance, including having sufficient financial resources and technical know-how. State and local governments are often required to match a portion of the federal disaster assistance they receive. Loans provided one way for localities to enhance their financial capacity. For example, after the Red River flood, the state-owned Bank of North Dakota extended the city of Grand Forks a $44 million loan, which the city used to match funding from federal disaster programs and begin recovery projects. (3) Implement strategies for businesses recovery. Business recovery is a key element of a community's recovery. Small businesses can be especially vulnerable to major disasters because they often lack resources to sustain financial losses. Federal, state, and local governments developed strategies to help businesses remain in the community, adapt to changed market conditions, and borrow funds at lower interest rates. For example, after the Loma Prieta earthquake, the city of Santa Cruz erected large pavilions near the main shopping street. These structures enabled more than 40 local businesses to operate as their storefronts were repaired. As a result, shoppers continued to frequent the downtown area thereby maintaining a customer base for impacted businesses. (4) Adopt a comprehensive approach toward combating fraud, waste, and abuse. The influx of financial assistance after a major disaster provides increased opportunities for fraud, waste, and abuse. Looking for ways to combat such activities before, during, and after a disaster can help states and localities protect residents from contractor fraud as well as safeguard the financial assistance they allocate to victims. For example, to reduce contractor fraud after the Red River flood, the city of Grand Forks established a credentialing program that issued photo identification to contractors who passed licensing and criminal checks.

Regina Spektor's recent videos for "All The Rowboats" and "Don't Leave Me (Ne Me Quitte Pas)" were quirky, fun affairs. But despite flashes of old-timey animation and a scene where she appears to be wearing butterfly wings, Spektor's new video for the breakup-driven piano-ballad "How" is something else entirely. It's a calm and sincere moving portrait of Spektor, the camera worshipping at her feet and switching back and forth between lush color and even lusher black-and-white. Margo Weathers directs; watch it below.
Spektor's album What We Saw From The Cheap Seats is out now on Sire.

Gospel artist Damita Haddon is getting married again. After a lengthy marriage with Gospel star Deitrick Haddon, Damita is no longer looking back.
Damita recently got engaged to photographer Reuben Chandler and is quoted as saying, "IŌĆÖm very happy because someone has found me that loves me for me.ŌĆØ ŌĆ£When I wasnŌĆÖt looking, it seemed like God placed him right in front of me. Funny thing is Reuben wasnŌĆÖt looking for a mate either.ŌĆØ
Damita tells AlwaysAlist.com that she first met Reuben 12 years ago while both were serving at Without Walls International Church in Tampa, Florida. The two reconnected a little more than a year ago while Reuben, who resides in Alabama, was visiting Atlanta.
Damita, who is an Atlanta resident, was having a cookout with some friends and invited the photographer over.
"I invited him to stop by to hang with me and some of my friends,ŌĆØ she shared. ŌĆ£I had no idea then that it would be the beginning of us starting to date.ŌĆØ
"IŌĆÖm happy because I matter to him,ŌĆØ she beamed. ŌĆ£IŌĆÖm listened to and IŌĆÖm honored by him. HeŌĆÖs a man of God. IŌĆÖm happy because IŌĆÖm a wife that will belong to Reuben Chandler. God is great!ŌĆØ
The singer said she knew she was ready to marry him because ŌĆ£we just fit!ŌĆØ
Damita was officially divorced in 2012 from the "Preacher's of L.A." star Deitrick Haddon. The split turned nasty after Deitrick accused Damita of sleeping with fellow Gospel star Isaac Carree. Carree never confirmed or denied specific claims in his only statement to the media. Deitrick Haddon has since remarried, and now has two children with his wife Dominique.

**Cardinal George's interview in the National Catholic Register. It has loads of good stuff on the Catholic Church's future and influence in the USA. He touches on healthcare, pro-life issues, evangelization, etc.
**Archbishop Chaput's reflection on Catholic charities. Here is a snip to whet your appetite.
The mission of Catholic Charities and all Catholic social ministries is not humanitarian but religious—to proclaim by our words and deeds the love that God has shown to the world in Jesus Christ. The spiritual and corporal works of mercy are not an option for the Church. They are a duty. Nor are they a generic act of kindness. They are a form of distinctly Catholic witness.**Bishop Zubik of the Diocese of Pittsburgh has written his first pastoral letter to his diocese. He is calling the diocese back to the basics.
Today, more urgently than ever, those of us who are Catholic need to recover a gospel hunger to help the homeless, the disabled, and the immigrant. We need to deepen the professional skills in our charitable services; we need to offer our gifts to the world—and we need to be committed Catholics first. We need to love and serve the poor; we need to thirst for social justice—and we need to remember that the poorest of the poor is the unborn child who cries out for our protection. There can be no social justice while the weakest and most innocent among us are legally killed.
**Bishop Nickless of Sioux City also has a pastoral letter. His letter is about the proper implementation of Vatican II and how it has been misappropriated in many quarters of the Church. The quote below, among others, has some up in arms:
The so-called "spirit" of the Council has no authoritative interpretation. It is a ghost or demon that must be exorcised if we are to proceed with the Lord's work.**The threat of pornography to children. This study shows the link that pornography has to the exploitation of children.

Earl's Science Essay:
How to Build a Time Machine, and Stuff
First of all, I need to give you some background information. You know how if you take a twin and put him on a rocket ship, zoom him around the cosmos for a while, and when he gets back, he's younger than the twin that was left behind? This is called "Relativistic Time Dilation", and it effectively moves the twin on the rocket ship into the future by slowing his clock down relative to the Earth-bound twin's clock.
And before you get started, I know what you're thinking. You're thinking, "Earl, that's just simple time dilation! You promised us a recipe for a time machine, and everyone knows that time dilation takes you only into the future, never the past! That's no time machine!"
Well, you're right. Time dilation
be used to take you into the past. It can take you only progressively further into the future.
, I've figured out a way to use simple time dilation to
a time machine that can take you into the future
the past! Even so, there will be some limitations, but it's still
Here's how: First, you'll need to build a wormhole with two endpoints. (I told you it wouldn't be easy, didn't I?) It would be really convenient if the wormhole's two endpoints were the size of doorways you can walk through.
Now, you know how a near-light-speed rocket ship will slow time for a twin? Well, it will also do the same thing for puppies, inflatable boats, boogers, and -- get this --
wormhole openings
So all you have to do is put one of your wormhole doorways on your near-light-speed rocket ship (you have one sitting in your garage, right?), and fly it at near light speed for, let's say, a week.
You're done! You've just built yourself a
1-Week-Ago Time Machine
The way it works is like this: In addition to being separated in space, it is generally accepted that a wormhole's endpoints can also be separated in time. By putting one of your wormhole openings on your near-light-speed rocket ship and zipping it around for a week, you've separated your wormhole openings in time by about a week. Once you're done, going through the wormhole in one direction will instantly take you
in time by one week, and going through the wormhole in the other direction will instantly take you
in time by one week.
Again, I know what you're thinking. You're thinking, "Yeah, but Earl, what if I want to travel in time more than a week?" Well then you just take more than one trip through the wormhole! If the doors are close together, you can make 52 trips and move a year through time in about two minutes!
Okay, actually, that's one of the limitations. The time difference between the ends of the wormhole is fixed, and you can go forward and backward through time only in multiples of that time difference. So you can't set the exact time and date you want to arrive, and you won't get flashy lights, like in the movies. But if you want, you can build a 1-Day time machine, a 1-Year time machine, or even a 100-Year time machine. Of course, you've probably figured out by now that building a 100-Year time machine will take 100 years, since that's how long you'd have to zoom one wormhole opening around in your rocket ship to achieve that magnitude of time dilation. So good luck with that. (Actually, there
a way you can build a 100-Year time machine in
about a minute
, but you probably won't like the results. Can you figure out how, and why you probably wouldn't want to do it?)
Still, a 1-Week time machine would be a great thing to have! You can go into the future as far as you're willing to go, as long as it's done in one-week increments. And you can go into the past... Well, you can go into the past only to the point at which your rocket ship is zooming around with one of the wormhole endpoints. That's another limitation. You can't go back to a time before the time machine existed, so you can't go dinosaur hunting, or anything like that. Likewise, you can't go forward to a time after the time machine is destroyed, if it ever is.
But even with these limitations, you can do a lot with your 1-Week time machine, like bet on horse races, and send yourself email from the future. That would be a
So there you have it. Simple time dilation, though incapable of moving anything into the past, can be used to build a structure that allows you to pass both forward and backward through time, instantly. All you have to do is to create a wormhole, and build a near-light-speed rocket ship big enough to carry one of the wormhole endpoints. If you can harness the power of a thousand suns, then you could be the first on your block to have a time machine! It's very simple, but it sure ain't easy.
If you can think of a reason why this wouldn't work, please let me know. I'm always open to new ideas.
And if you want someone clever enough to come up with a way to build a time machine working on your broken TV and appliances, just give me a call! I can be working on your TV and appliances in no time, in just seven working days...
in the PAST!
Okay, I'm just kidding about that last part.

Installation Manual
For the ultimate in kitchen convenience, this Kraus Single Bowl Undermount Stainless Steel Kitchen Sink KBU11, Pull Out Kitchen Faucet KPF2140 and Soap Dispenser Combo is the perfect choice. When you love cooking it's even better when your kitchen sink area provides smooth movement, quality function, durability and eye appeal. Stainless steel doesn't just lend an immaculate look to a kitchen; it's also tough for everyday use as well. It's resistant to staining, corrosion and denting. This sink has an interior dimension of 18.75" long x 15.75" wide and 9" deep which allows ample room for nearly any project. The faucet is virtual genius with its pull out sprayer feature. The hose is a handy 28" long. The faucet stands at 13.4" overall with an 8.7" spout reach.
Then there's the soap dispenser that's small on size and huge on convenience. It holds 14 ounces of liquid and only stands 3" high (with a 4.5" reach) on the counter top. The undermount installation adds a fresh look to the overall appearance of any kitchen. With no seams to lend a choppy look, everything just looks nicer. Not only that, but there's no where for food gunk and crumbs to accumulate. This makes for fast, easy clean up. Here at ExpressDecor we take pride in offering the best on today's market. Kraus has more than proven they fit the bill in every respect. In addition, we're including a very handy bottom grid, the sink strainer and a nice kitchen towel.
Definitely built to last. We also found it easy to install.

About Us:
Through Community Outreach, WINGS MINISTRY founder, Missy Settlemyre, became aware of children in her local community (Shallotte, NC) spending the weekend hungry. Not in another country- but in her own hometown! After researching and partnering with local schools and other volunteer organizations, WINGS Ministry piloted the Backpack Program in four schools. As of January 2013, Each weekend, WINGS serves 900 individuals in 9 Schools in Brunswick County. NC.
Childhood Hunger:
One out of every six children in the United States (16 million) is food-insecure.
Over 62% of children in the U.S. Public School System are on Federal Free & Reduced Meal Program.
Long-term childhood hunger can lead to a weaker immune system, increased hospitalization rates; lower IQ's and academic achievement.
Short-term childhood hunger leads to difficulty learning, the inability to focus in class along with the inability to retain knowledge.
How our Program Works:
Our Backpacks are filled with nutritious food for the Child and their family members!
$ 50.00 feeds a family of four in our program for One month (4 weekends).
Volunteers assist with fundraisers for the Backpack Program.
WINGS Ministry donates the Backpacks for this program!
100% of funds raised or donated are used to purchase food for the children in our program.
Each Friday, students receive their backpacks filled with the necessary food and nutrition for the weekend.
Backpacks are returned on Monday & the children in this program are now ready to learn!
Our Goals:
(1) To help put an end to childhood hunger!
(2) To provide nutritious meals for children over the weekend so they are better equipped to
achieve educational success.
(3) To increase public awareness regarding the issue of childhood hunger in the United States.

It is important to continually educate yourself updated on auto insurance. You should have all the right decisions to ensure you are getting the right coverage for you.This article provides you with tips for you.
When upgrading your car by purchasing extras or replacing parts, check with your insurance company on how much they will cover if ever your car gets damaged or stolen. Insurance frequently does not provide coverage for these parts, but only the difference between the value of the car with and without those parts, which usually isn't a lot.
A great way to reduce your insurance bill is by lowering your mileage each year. Most insurance providers will give you a lower rate for driving less.
Most states have laws that require you to carry appropriate auto liability insurance for drivers. You are responsible for knowing what kind of the regulations regarding minimum insurance policies you are required to have. You will break the law if you drive uninsured.
The majority of people think car insurance premiums drop instantly when a driver reaches age 25 is a common misconception.
Your vehicle's make and model is the number one influencing factor on your auto insurance payment. If you want to save money, you need to choose something both modest and safe.
If you are shopping for car insurance, it's important to understand the different types of coverage. A given vehicle's insurance cost may be affected by a number of factors. Know what your policy covers in the event that you hit someone.
Try to ride buses or joining a carpool. Insurance companies are very happy with responsible and driving less miles is one way to show them.
Reconsider purchasing costly add-ons for your car that you don't really need.
Sports Cars
Spend some time with your agent reviewing the specifics of your coverage before you add expensive personalization to your car. You may find, for example, that the $2,000 you spent to upgrade your car into racing form actually added less than $500 to the vehicle's appraised values. Should the vehicle get stolen, you're out the difference.
Trade in your sports car for a more insurance friendly.Insurance companies charge higher rates for insuring a sports cars. Sports cars are targets of theft, so they cost more to insure.
You should also be insured against those drivers who are uninsured, for instance from a fire.
Take an inventory of all of them, in order to ensure you take advantage of these price savers.You may find that you can save on premiums.
It is a common belief that the rates a young driver pays for auto insurance decrease as soon as that driver turns 25 years of age. The reality is that premiums steadily decrease once a driver hits 18, so long as he doesn't have any accidents.
This is something to give a good amount of consideration to as it can dramatically raise the price that you will pay. It also give you in the horrible situation of an uninsured driver hitting your car.
Many companies give discounts to people who do not drive 7500 miles in a single year. This makes cutting your driving a wonderful way to save money on car insurance.
You will be able to obtain lower car insurance rates by improving your credit score. Were you even aware that your credit scores?
Avoid paying for your car insurance with a monthly bill. Insurance agencies frequently add surcharges to installment plans. This money can add up quickly. If you have tons of other monthly bills, it can quickly become a large burden. The less payments you have to make, the better.
A 10% discount on your insurance premium is a great benefit.
A great way to lower your auto insurance rates is to install a car alarm, satellite tracker or an immobilizer.Theft related to your car plays a significant part in calculating your insurance coverage. Your insurance will be lower if your car is less prone to theft.
Hopefully, you have a better understanding of auto insurance as a result of this article. If you educate yourself, you will be able to make a better decision. These tips might also be of use to others in your social circle, so circulate this article to them, as well.
If you are thinking about switching auto insurance companies, do not cancel your first insurance policy until you know for sure that you have another one. Auto accidents can happen at any time, so make sure you always have insurance.

Cancer Research and NeoTREX
- Request for Proposals: Translational Cancer Research
- Cancer Supercluster RFP Application
- Cancer Supercluster Letter of Intent
Building on more than 35 years of excellence in cancer research and biomedicine, Colorado State University announced its second Supercluster, Cancer Research and Treatment, along with NeoTREX, an embedded business enterprise dedicated to speeding the transition of life-saving cancer research from the academic world to the global marketplace.
Dr. Terry Opgenorth has been named the chief operating officer for NeoTREX. He will also serve as COO of MicroRx, the business arm of the university's first Supercluster focused on infectious disease research that was announced in February. Opgenorth joins the university after 20 years with Abbott Laboratories' Global Pharmaceutical Research and Development organization.
The academic side of the Supercluster will be under the direction of Dr. Stephen Withrow, director of the university's internationally esteemed Animal Cancer Center. Dr. Robert Ullrich, current director of research in oncology for the university's Animal Cancer Center and a professor in the Department of Environmental and Radiological Health Sciences, will serve as the Cancer Supercluster's director of research. Withrow and Ullrich also will serve as chief scientific officer and chief research officer, respectively, of NeoTREX.
Collaboration across five colleges
The Cancer Supercluster is a collaboration of the university's Colleges of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, Natural Sciences, Health and Human Sciences, Agricultural Sciences and Engineering. It builds on more than three decades of Colorado State excellence in cancer research currently funded by organizations such as NASA, the National Institutes of Health, the National Cancer Institute, Morris Animal Foundation and U.S. Department of Energy.
The goal of the Supercluster is to develop effective treatments and products in the fight against cancer and quickly moving these advances into the marketplace to the people who need them.
"We are excited to begin work within the Cancer Supercluster and NeoTREX. NeoTREX will translate groundbreaking scientific research from Colorado State to the marketplace, so that cancer solutions are developed and delivered faster for the people who need them," said University President Larry Edward Penley. "Our Supercluster model encourages researchers' direct collaboration with industry experts, enabling faculty to focus on what they do best -- innovation and research into great global challenges such as cancer -- and taking advantage of the corporate drive to market for that research for public benefit."
The development of the Superclusters and expanded investment in university research have been central components of Penley's vision for Colorado State and are key elements of the University Strategic Plan developed under his leadership. Colorado State has seen considerable growth in research expenditures, faculty and new facilities over the last several years, but the launch of the Superclusters this year has drawn the most national and international attention because of the potential for the innovative design to transform the way universities handle technology transfer.
Treating a devasting diseases
"While tremendous efforts have been made to advance cures and treatments for cancer, it recently surpassed heart disease as the number one killer in the nation, and continues to be one of the most devastating diseases all across the globe," said Tony Frank, Provost and Senior Vice President. "Colorado State's multi-disciplinary programs in cancer research, along with numerous partnerships with the world's top cancer research centers, position the university to make a tremendous impact in the fight against this disease by developing novel drugs and techniques to better treat and ideally to prevent cancer."
Dr. Withrow, a world-renowned oncologist and surgeon, holds the Stuart Chair in Oncology and is a University Distinguished Professor, the highest honor bestowed at Colorado State. His research interests include bone cancer, pet cancer as a model for human disease and spontaneously occurring cancer in companion animals. His research has led to collaborations with researchers at the National Cancer Institute and the Children's Oncology Group. Among other accomplishments, Withrow developed a limb-sparing surgical technique to treat osteosarcoma in dogs that has been widely adopted to treat human cancer, significantly increasing the likelihood that children diagnosed with the disease will be cured.
"The development of the Cancer Supercluster and NeoTrex provide both human and animal cancer researchers with the opportunity to work closely together for the benefit of both species," said Dr. Withrow. "This new structure develops a cancer research and treatment enterprise that can significantly impact the global cancer problem. Our long-term objective will be to advance beyond chronic treatment to detection, prevention and cures for this disease."
Dr. Ullrich has studied cancer in an effort to understand its cause, to find cures and develop preventative medicines since 1974, and has received 30 years of consecutive funding from the National Cancer Institute. He holds the Barbara Cox Anthony university chair and currently oversees activities for 12 research laboratories within the university's Animal Cancer Center and nearly $3 million in annual funding for cancer research and training. Ullrich also directs the $9.7 million NASA-funded Specialized Center of Research which focuses on advancing cancer research and treatment for pets and people by finding innovative approaches for estimating cancer risks from space radiation identifying genetic changes that are responsible radiation-induced leukemia.
"Cancer is a major public health issue and a burden on the wellness of all societies around the globe," said Dr. Ullrich. "Colorado State has a rich history in researching cancer -- from the basic science behind how it succeeds in a body to developing cures and treatments. Over the last 40 years, the knowledge and expertise that has been developed here at Colorado State to fight this devastating disease is nearly unquantifiable."
A strong foundation at Colorado State
The Cancer Supercluster is built upon a nationally dominant foundation of cancer research already in existence at Colorado State. The current cancer program at the university encompasses 65 faculty members from 12 departments. Research and training within the program includes carcinogenesis, chemoprevention, cancer risk assessment, cancer diagnosis, experimental therapeutics, medical oncology, radiation oncology, surgical oncology, and core related sciences including genomics, proteomics, metabolomics, bioinformatics and pharmacokinetics.
Much of the Supercluster, however, is based around the work of the university's Animal Cancer Center, the largest center of its kind in the world, which is devoted to caring for animals with cancer and researching cures and preventative medical interventions for the disease. Since it was established 25 years ago, the Animal Cancer Center has grown to be the largest companion animal cancer research center in the United States, training more veterinary oncologists than any other veterinary teaching hospital in the world. Going beyond the veterinary profession, the Animal Cancer Center has an international reputation for its collaborations with human cancer institutions such as the Mayo Clinic, the National Cancer Institute and the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center.
Additional programs at Colorado State working within the Supercluster structure include the cancer biology program. The program, within the College of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, is the first of its kind to focus on training graduate students on the basic science of the causes and prevention of cancer, cancer diagnosis, therapies and risk assessment.
A unique research program within Colorado State's College of Agricultural Sciences focuses on unlocking the secrets of varieties of food as cancer-fighting and cancer-prevention tools. The program is delving into properties of different varieties of fruits, vegetables and grains and how they impact human cancer risk. In addition, it also looks at how foods can be grown and produced to accentuate cancer-fighting properties.
In the College of Natural Sciences, Colorado State researchers have discovered how the Kaposi sarcoma herpesvirus - one of society's most troublesome virulent diseases - uses a protein to attach itself to chromosomes, allowing the virus to hide within the cells and cause them to be malignant. The disease affects patients infected with AIDS. That discovery has helped scientists understand more about the basic building blocks of chromosomes and apply a molecular understanding of human genome control mechanisms. This could pave the way for unsurpassed advances in the biological sciences, physics, chemistry and other life sciences areas and could lead to major human health benefits.
Also, researchers within the college are examining life cycle of the human T-cell leukemia virus, a rapidly developing form of cancer which affects up to 20 million people worldwide each year.
Professors in engineering, chemistry, horticulture and landscape architecture are also working together to develop a new microchip assay for quantifying DNA damage resulting from several diseases, including cancer.
Each Colorado State Supercluster, organized around a critical global challenge, appoints a chief scientific officer who oversees cutting-edge academic research activities. A chief operating officer focuses on forging business partnerships and developing new opportunities for the results of that research. The Supercluster's technology transfer manager will seek opportunities for patents, licenses and startups. The team also will seek private equity investors for new business opportunities emanating from these activities.
