If there's one thing we learned from Cheers, it's that "sometimes you want to go where everybody knows your name." And nowhere in Miami is that sense of belonging stronger — especially for J Alvarez — than at La Covacha, New Times' two-time winner of Best Latin Club. Alvarez, the Latin Grammy-nominated reggaetonero behind jams such as "Te Deseo" and "Ponte Pa Mi," has become a regular at the Doral fiesta spot over the past few years and made each show more energetic than the last. But why wouldn't he make the most of every gig? Music saved Alvarez's life, after all. "Thanks to music, I'm away from the streets," Alvarez told Fox News Latino while discussing Puerto Rico's unfortunate spike in street violence, which claimed the life of his cousin Kasinski earlier this year. "I've been through some various situations that have allowed me to grow as a person. I spent almost four years in jail. There are opportunities to get out of there, and you can progress. The doors aren't shut on you." And Alvarez admits, "It was a wake-up call, and I came out of it with dreams that I have been able to realize."

Metal Gear Scanlon 2 - Part 13
Become Premium to Watch
Dimensions recaptures enough of Geometry Wars' thrills to stand as the best new dual-joystick shooter in quite a while.
The little mushroom man finally gets his name on the marquee, and the result is a charming, unique, and puzzle-heavy adventure.
Nintendo's all-stars assemble once again, resulting in one of the best reasons to own a Wii U (and eight GameCube controllers).
Franchise »
An AI companion is a computer-controlled ally who follows and aids you through your adventures or who requires your protection. The AI companion's survival is often essential to game and story progression.
Present in most action games, where people can say cheesy stuff and get away with it. Usually spoken by the hero, before or after wasting a dude.
The practice in which a character blends seamlessly with crowds in order to maintain a low profile while on the move
Used by protagonists when opening a door that is locked, or just for looking really cool.
A staple in modern shooters. They hide, crawl, creep, climb and jump, and are usually pretty weak but hard to hit.
Characters either begin with multiple outfits, unlock them through play, or purchase them as in-game items. These costumes are sometimes integral to play.
Ambient Occlusion attempts to realistically depict the way light reflects off surfaces and radiates throughout an area.
A dark power that is usually the cause for the world's strife. The curse can only be broken after the protagonist (or band of protagonists) defeats several dangerous trials.
Introduced in MK III, these new finishers would turn your character into an animal that would then kill and maim your opponent, thus ending the round.
The study of and search for remains of human culture and history (or that of other civilizations).
A person who specialize in the art of archery. A common character/unit class in RPG, hack'n'slash and Strategy games.
Archery is the practice of propelling arrows with use of a bow. Throughout history, archery skills have been used in both hunting and warfare. Today, it is also a sport and recreational activity.
Turn-based multiplayer gameplay between two or more players that can check in and play their turn when it's convenient. Similar to play-by-mail games and, more electronically, play-by-email or play-by-post forum games.
Automated Grenade Throw refers to games that have specific controls for tossing a grenade, as opposed to being forced to switch out your current weapon with a grenade before throwing.
Balance is an ability with which a person can uphold exceptional equilibrioception. In other words, not falling over.
When characters make conversation during normal gameplay, rather than a dialog-focused scene.
Bats are small flying mammals. They may frequent caves or haunted houses.
When the player character (re)visits a certain area or location that was also present in a previous game, or visited later on in the same game, with some alterations.
Hiding items, rooms, and all kinds of things behind waterfalls is one of the oldest concepts in the history of games.
Betrayal is when a person breaks the trust and faith that others have placed in them.
Winged, usually flying creatures, many of which enjoy perching on branches and defecating on unfortunate victims below. Legends say they bring good fortune to mobile game developers.
Games that are depicted with a predominantly black-and-white appearance, with sequences to this effect, or optional color filters.
Usually caused after a fatal blow, when a character is bleeding out they will have only a limited amount of time to live as their health slowly depletes. They must quickly seek assistance or die.
A game mechanic popularized by Epic's Gears of War. The player while in cover shoots "blindly" at the enemy. Used in conjunction with suppressive fire to stop the opposing team in their tracks.
Necessary to sustain life in organic creatures, the crimson fluid known as blood tends to make appearances when the body's structure is compromised in some way, a very, very common occurrence in videogames.
When blood will splash textures on walls or floors and even roofs.
A boss fight is a culminating challenge that pits the player against one or more enemies representing a greater threat and/or difficulty than those previously faced. These scenarios typically feature unique antagonists.
It's when a boss kills his own henchmen to let you know that he means business.
Video game bosses are usually the main antagonist, and arch nemesis of the main protagonist. In most cases the end of a game is when the main character defeats the final boss.
On some box art, the main character is facing away.

very clean, nice staff
Clean comfortable room
Room was decently sized. Availability of included breakfast. Staff at front desk was helpful. A container with some jewelry disappeared and I wasn't sure if I'd dropped it in my room before leaving or if it had been stolen during travel. The staff and manager were responsive in contacting me back to let me know they'd talked to the housekeeping staff and did not find it.
Room had a stale smell when I didn't have the a/c blasting. My door also needed to be pushed or pulled forcefully to ensure it closed properly. When I entered the room I would push it hard and put top lock on, but I would come back from being gone all day to find the door partly open, which I believe was the fault of the housekeeping staff when they cleaned my room.
I got lost on my way back from La Jolla and called the hotel from a phone in a convenience store since my cell phone battery was gone and the staff was very helpful in giving me directions.
The food at breakfast could be improved
Lost my reservation. Check in took forever. Didn't even apologize. Didn't get the room I specifically reserved
Free hot breakfast, & laundry
Tight parking lot
The front desk staff was nice. Russel at the front desk was very helpful. The room was nice.
They left a used towel hanging on the back of the bathroom door. The main door to the room doesn't shut unless you yank it.
The staff was great
Everything is good. Clean and quiet. The breakfast was nice too including waffles, eggs, and sausages.
The wi-fi sometimes was slow.
I was very thankful that the staff allowed me a late check out. I was there for my grand-daughters volleyball tour. & it allowed me to watch a few games & return to the motel to for my breathing treatments using my nebulizer, thus being able to stay for the whole tour.. Other wise I would of had to return home & missed a very special time with grand-pas little girl!! A VERY special Thank to Best Western & your entire staff..
I liked that it was quiet and secure, the rooms were spacious and comfortable
That I was charged an extra 10 a night by the hotel. He said had I booked the 2 beds from the begining with booking.com, I would not have had to pay the extra 10. per night, somehow that does not make sense to me since the hotel was practically empty.

In the planting of genetically changed crops around the world, the U.S. government has done just about everything it can to help except drive the tractor.
Agriculture Secretary Dan Glickman has been one of biotechnology's leading boosters, admonishing reluctant Europeans not to stand in the way of progress and urging the acceptance of food grown using the new, American technology.But lately, Glickman has turned cautious. In St. Louis recently, he warned that the United States must pay closer attention to questions being raised around the world about genetic engineering. ''We can't force-feed . . . reluctant consumers,'' he said.
His words, along with a recent scientific finding that biotechnology may harm butterflies, are helping trigger an emerging debate in this country that could prove pivotal for the new technology and for its driving force, St. Louis-based Monsanto Co.
In an interview in Washington not long ago, Glickman said biotechnology ''shouldn't be a steamroller . . . . Ultimately, if the consumer doesn't buy, the technology isn't worth a damn. Period.''
He said European concerns about the potential health and environmental effects of modified crops are taking a toll on U.S. grain exports.
''There are certainly more and more questions being asked about biotechnology, and those questions must be answered,'' Glickman said. ''They cannot be brushed off. They must be dealt with.''
After years of muted concerns about biotechnology in the United States, Washington is suddenly brimming with new studies and discussions:
* A White House task force will report as early as July on the prospect of labeling genetically engineered foods, the administration disclosed.
* The National Academy of Sciences is planning a biotechnology review that will focus on seeds and ownership of genetic materials.
* Glickman is resurrecting a biotechnology advisory committee that will have a wide array of experts, members of the public and critics.
If that weren't enough new activity, wealthy foundations are considering plowing millions of dollars into a public awareness campaign that would be conducted by environmental advocacy groups.
''There is a shift. It might even be a sea change,'' Margaret Mellon of the Union of Concerned Scientists said of the new attention in the United States to genetic engineering.
Jay Byrne, a Monsanto spokesman, said he regards the attention as positive. Three government studies published this month in Europe - by the Irish Food Authority, by a British House of Commons committee and by a British Ministry of Agriculture panel - found no human health implications from gene-altered food. As Byrne sees it, the flurry of new studies in Washington can allay any fears that might be sprouting.
The emerging debates will include topics as large as corporate mergers in agriculture - which Glickman also is warning about - and as small as the butterfly.
In a report that accelerated the biotech debate globally, Cornell University scientists said monarch butterflies could be threatened by certain modified crops. They found that nearly half of the caterpillars in laboratory tests died after eating the pollen of corn engineered with Bt (bacillus thuringiensis) bacteria to resist pests.
The monarch study gave people a touchstone in a complex matter that most Americans haven't thought a lot about.
For European leaders, it was evidence to raise more barriers to the technology. The 15-nation European Union said it would suspend further consideration of approvals for modified corn. Austria banned cultivation of Monsanto's engineered corn, and a French official said his country might revisit its past approval of a Monsanto hybrid.
Besides encouraging public debate, Glickman is raising eyebrows among insiders who watch the politics of genetic engineering. His public shift from cheerleader to probing realist began a month ago in a speech at Purdue University. ''When it's all said and done, the public opinion poll is just as powerful a research tool as the test tube,'' Glickman said in the speech.
In an interview, Glickman said he was trying to send a message not just to the American people but to others in government. He said he remains committed to biotechnology as important both to human health and to farming. But, he added, a better job has to be done about building confidence.
Glickman surprised participants on all sides of the debate, among them Charles Benbrook, a consultant who has worked for Congress and the National Academy of Sciences since the early 1980s. When word of Glickman's all-but-ignored speech at Purdue filtered out, Benbrook said, ''People's jaws dropped. . . . It was probably the most dramatic turnaround in the message of a secretary of agriculture that I've seen.''
Unlike their European counterparts, most pro- environment organizations in the United States have paid scant attention to genetic engineering. Some American groups may have been persuaded by the potential of modified crops to reduce the spraying of farm chemicals.
Some groups had their plates full, while others lacked resources to pursue a complicated issue that requires scientific expertise. This lack of attention has befuddled their European counterparts but may change soon with an infusion of money from foundations.
The Chicago-based Joyce Foundation is among several foundations that have been gathering information on genetic engineering for a meeting to be held next month in New York. Participants have put together an inch-thick workbook on biotechnology that they will distribute to representatives of foundations that fuel much of the work of America's environmental advocacy groups.
Monsanto's Byrne said that Monsanto is happy to participate in any new talks. ''All too often, this debate can be polarized by the extremes of fear or concern and those of hope,'' he said. ''The best public service is to have an informed debate in the middle,'' he said.

Somali pirates free 36 hostages, claim $3M ransom
MOGADISHU, Somalia Pirates freed 36 crew members from a Spanish trawler Tuesday, and a self-proclaimed pirate said the hostage-takers were paid $3.3 million in ransom. Spain's prime minister did little to deny a payment was made – one reason the lucrative attacks are on the rise.
Shortly after being freed, the tuna boat Alakrana steamed out to sea under the protection of two Spanish warships. All 36 crew were reported to be in good health after more than six weeks in captivity.
The release came despite the fact that two Somali pirates in Spanish custody soon will stand trial for kidnapping and related charges.
A Somali villager named Ali Ahmed Salad said 12 armed pirates left the ship shortly after noon Tuesday and joined colleagues near the pirate town of Haradhere.
Ali Gab, a self-proclaimed pirate, told The Associated Press that a boat had delivered $3.3 million in ransom. Gab said pirates began leaving the ship shortly afterward, and that a Spanish warship nearby watched the proceedings.
The EU Naval Force said the Alakrana had made its way to the open sea late Tuesday, accompanied by two Spanish warships.
"Alakrana stated in her call that all the pirates had disembarked the ship and that she had sufficient fuel," the force said in a statement. "The captain also reported that the crew of 36 were in good health."
In Spain, Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero was evasive when asked if the government had taken part in payment of a ransom. "The government did what it had to do," he told a news conference in Madrid after talks with the president of Hungary.
"The important thing is that the sailors will be back with us," Zapatero said. "The first obligation of a country, of the government of a state, is to save the lives of its countrymen."
In April 2008, the Spanish government reportedly paid a ransom of $1.2 million to win the release of another Spanish trawler seized by pirates off Somalia, that time with a crew of 26. The ordeal lasted a week.
The reported ransom payment demonstrates why pirate attacks have been on the rise. The millions of dollars a successful hijacking can bring is a windfall in impoverished and war-ravaged Somalia.
The trawler had been seized Oct. 2 with 16 Spaniards, eight Indonesians and 12 crew from five African countries aboard.
The sister of the second-in-command of the Alakrana spoke to her brother after his release.
"They are not all that excited because it took them by surprise and they still cannot really believe it," said Argi Galbarriatu, the sister of Iker Galbarriatu. "He told me the word to describe it is that they are relieved, and eager to get to port and come home."
The pirates holding the Alakrana had been pressing for the release of two colleagues who were captured by Spanish naval forces a day after the hijacking and eventually brought to Madrid to face charges.
The Spanish government has been working feverishly to find some sort of legal formula that would allow it to try them and send them back to Somalia quickly in hopes of appeasing the pirates who remained in control of the trawler.

66 Embassy in Washington to Department of External Affairs
Cablegram 199 WASHINGTON, 13 February 1948, 8.08 p.m.
Your 79 to New York for Kirby. [1]
1. After full consultation with Kirby, Forsyth today had a frank discussion at the State Department with Lacy (South East Asia Division) and Bancroft (United Nations Affairs Division) making the following main points- Australia shares the concern of America with the stability and economic reconstruction of Indies area but considers it fundamentally important that in the process Indonesian aspirations should not be prejudiced and particularly that the position of Republic [a]s effective political entity must not be impaired. The Renville principles leave difficult questions, in the settlement of which general considerations of world economy should not be allowed to prejudice the Republic's immediate and eventual position. These questions include control of trade and foreign representation. Constant watchfulness and where necessary exertion of American and other influence will be needed to safeguard the Republic's position. The points listed in paragraph 4(C) of Kirby's telegram UN 106 (with the addition of plebiscites as in paragraph 1 of his 109). [2]
2. Reception of these points by the officials concerned who are principal advisers in this question, were on most points very satisfactory, and they were definite that the United States firmly intends to secure just implementation of the Renville principles and assist the Republic to maintain its position as an effective political entity.
3. Specifically (A) United States desires 'supervision' of plebiscites and officials concerned were confident that this could be secured by the Committee's own action and evolution. They felt, however, that if formally proposed in the Security Council the Dutch would feel obliged to resist for reasons of prestige.
(B) Similarly, in regard to stronger powers for the Committee (public suggestions as in paragraph 4 UN 106).
(C) Should the Dutch show disposition to reject the request of the Republic for continuance of Committee after political agreement the United States would undoubtedly make strong representations.
(D) They would regard creation of new States by the Dutch as contrary to the spirit of Renville agreement and inconsistent with the status of the Republic as a party to settlement involving the whole area. In their opinion the Dutch would be foolish to continue such action and they believe the Dutch realise this.
(E) As regards foreign representation of the Republic, American advice to the Dutch would be to treat this issue gently with a view to settlement at a convenient time in relation to future overseas representation of the Indies and in such a way as to save face of the Republic.
4. In regard to Trade, the State Department's general position has not altered from that stated to the Minister by Lacy, vide Washington cable to you number 156. [3] Officials interviewed envisaged a relationship between this question and the powers of provisional [and] [4] interim Governments. Recalling the desire expressed by Butterworth (see UN 106 paragraph (2)) that the Republic join the present provisional Government, they felt that if the provisional Government were revised to possess real powers the Republic might see its way to merge control of its Trade in [control] [5] of Trade of the whole area in which it would participate. Adequate representation of the Republic would be necessary though United States would not be able in view of Dutch sovereignty to go further than make suggestions to the Dutch on this. They said that the Netherlands Government is concerned with problems of avoiding arbitrary exercise of sovereign powers by officials of the Indies. The Americans are very conscious of the desirability of restraining the Dutch from over legalistic attitude, especially now the Dutch are committed to handing over the sovereignty in the not distant future.
5. Lacy and Bancroft said that the Dutch wish to avoid difficult issues in the Security Council and would feel better able to do so if the Indonesians also refrained. They said that the United States certainly does not wish such issues to be raised. In [re]ply to direct question as to whether Australia intended to raise such issues, including [trade] [6] and foreign representation, Forsyth said that while the Australian attitude might be influenced by conversations of Monday [7] and today, unless the Australian Government felt convinced that everything possible would be done to ensure successful and just implementation of Renville principles, the Australian representative must be free to raise fundamental questions in Security Council, in order that Council should not be left in ignorance of real obstacles to settlement still remaining.

this was purchased for my daughter as a housewarming gift the item is already falling apart horrible product.
Over priced. Cheaply made. Material and Mattress super thin, hard and uncomfortable. I doubt this item will last very long before it tears up just from normal everyday use.
The only thing I would caution a potential buyer is that, while it works well for MY intended use (a comfortable study spot for my 16 year old daughter, or spare bed for her girlfriends), it is NOT long enough for a tallish person. Otherwise, it's great. It is unobtrusive, and works well in my VERY tiny home office.
I absolutely LOVE this lounger!! When order arrived (which was ON TIME) I was beyond satisfied. It looked exactly as described online and the colors are beautiful. Very easy to put together and looks great in my room. It is comfortable to either just lounge in or sleep on. I have received so many compliments from my friends on it's style and comfort. Thanks Overstock for making it available and meeting my shopping needs!!!!!
Again, not happy with this piece of furniture. Low quality, not good for inside my home. If I had kept the packaging I would have sent it back. Too bad!

These skins are so awesome!
Love the warwick skin the most tho. But seriusly these are all great
What happened to Riot Squad Singed?! How did hextech get put out sooner than Riot squad which has been listed in the skins window for month/s now? (not that i'm complaining b/c hextech is BADASS)
the Warwick recolor, so simplistic...
Wish I still played Warwick. But thanks anyway, Riot!
Finally Singe gets some love!!!!
...but where is Riot Singe?
Question...did you hire new people for the artworks? I can totally tell that their style is unlike the old one (not saying that its bad) or did you decide to switch your art "policies" a bit? Just curious!
Just to stave off more questions it seems Riot Singed will be made into a special skin not available for purchase with RP.
Probably a promotional item.
So thats why we get this one.
Which is honestly,far better imo.
Annie: Why do you wear that stupid bunny suit?
Tibbers: Why are you wearing that stupid Annie suit?
Tundra warwick is so beast

WASHINGTON The chief of a federal agency tasked with improving the safety of crude oil shipments by rail declined Wednesday to give lawmakers a date for new tank car rules that railroads and safety officials have sought for years.
Cynthia Quarterman, administrator of the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration, also testified the tank car fixes weren't "a silver bullet," and were only "one piece of the mitigative puzzle" in making crude oil transportation safer.
The rail industry petitioned the agency three years ago for a rule on tank cars, but the process didn't begin until this past September and could take at least another year to finish. Lawmakers expressed their frustration at the delay and the uncertainty it creates.
"Set a deadline," said Rep. Peter DeFazio, D-Ore.
In addition to the safety of crude oil shipments on railroads, the hearing in the House of Representatives subcommittee that oversees railroads also examined recent commuter rail accidents and the problems the industry has meeting a December 2015 deadline to install a collision avoidance system.
Federal regulators and industry officials told lawmakers that commuter and freight railroads will not be able to install the system, called Positive Train Control, by the end of next year. Congress required the system in 2008 after 25 people died in a head-on collision between a commuter train and a freight train in southern California.
Lawmakers mainly focused on series of derailments of crude oil trains since last summer.
The deaths of 47 people in Quebec last summer amplified years of warnings from the National Transportation Safety Board that general service tank cars were not well-suited to carry flammable materials because of their tendency to puncture in derailments.
Subsequent derailments in Alabama and North Dakota further cast doubt on the cars.
"Quite simply," testified NTSB member Robert Sumwalt, "their continued use poses an unacceptable public risk."
The head of the railroad industry's principal advocacy group told lawmakers that rail companies agreed with the NTSB. The Association of American Railroads didn't wait for regulators to make a move before requiring higher tank car standards on their own.
"There is some concern and doubt as to whether we can move crude safely," said Edward Hamberger, the group's president and CEO. "The answer to that is 'yes.'"
However, the timing of those improvements coincided with dramatic growth in oil production in North Dakota's Bakken region.
"Five years ago, no one would have predicted it," said Jack Gerard, the president and CEO of the American Petroleum Institute.
But the lack of pipeline capacity put much of the crude in trains, largely of the older, less-protected DOT-111A type tank cars.
Hamberger said the industry favored that such "legacy" cars be phased out of crude oil transportation or be retrofitted with better safety protections. New cars, he said, should be built with thicker shells, thermal insulation, stronger housings for valves and outlets, and steel plates at the vulnerable heads – the ends of each car.
For the most part, railroads don't own the tank cars in which crude is shipped. But last week, BNSF Railway, the nation's leading hauler of crude oil in trains, ordered 5,000 new, better protected tank cars. At an estimated $150,000 each, the railroad would need to spend $750 million on the order.
"BNSF is stepping forward and putting their money where their mouth is," Hamberger said.
A BNSF train hauling Bakken crude derailed near Casselton, N.D., in December, igniting an enormous fire and spilling more than 475,000 gallons of crude. No one was injured.
Rep. Roger Williams, R-Texas, said the railroad's purchase "shows the private sector can do the right thing."
But BNSF is acting before it even knows what standards will be required for tank cars.
DeFazio accused regulators of "20 years of inaction" for failing to heed the NTSB recommendations.
"We are drafting the rules as we speak," Quarterman said. "We need to get this right."
House lawmakers first heard from Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., who will lead a Senate hearing next week on rail safety. Two commuter rail accidents occurred last year in his home state.
North Dakota's sole House member, Republican Rep. Kevin Cramer, said the Casselton derailment was a "stark reminder of our new reality," and said neither his state's citizens, nor the oil business that's lifting the state's economy, should have to wait longer for new tank cars.
"No one in the supply chain benefits from accidents," he said. "A train derailment costs everybody."
Some of the first people in harm's way in a derailment are the train crews. John Tolman, vice president and legislative representative for the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, a railroad labor union, said no train should be operated with fewer than two people. The train that derailed in Lac-Megantic, Quebec, in July had a sole operator.
"You don't get on a commercial airline with a single person up there," Tolman testified.
The increase in flammable cargoes moving by rail also poses new challenges for emergency planning and response.
Hamberger said his group is helping train firefighters at its testing facility in Pueblo, Colo. Last week, the Department of Transportation announced that the industry would pay $5 million to train 1,500 first responders.
"I can send you 1,500 tomorrow," said Rep. Rick Larsen, D-Wash.
An increasing number of crude oil trains are passing through his district to refineries in northwest Washington.

Never in my wildest dreamers did I think I would be this busy NOT working. I rarely find time to sit at the computer. But I am happy.
Financially we are doing great. All we have is the mortgage which we are paying extra on each month. We have more than double what we put in my husband's retirment and his company is matching that. We have great insurance and have taken advantage of the eye insurance and got eye exams and two new pairs of glasses for $56 for BOTH of us. Kent has some more dental work to be scheduled, but it's for a new partial and time just has not permitted him to do it. He loves his new job and only covers the state of TN so mostly only day trips with an occasional overnight trip to the Nashville area. We have a good sized savings account but have never received the last bonus from his prior job. We have an attorney pursuing this. We are really not expecting anything to come of this, but it was worth trying.
Health wise .......uhhhhhhh...some days just suck. My heart is doing fair but it depends upon my pacemaker a lot. 87% for the top chamber and 73% for the lower chamber. My back is giving me a fit especially trying to sleep. But I do manage to get 1/2 night of good sleep. My arthritis is horrible in my right hand and both knees. I am staying very active so that's my goal is to not let it get me down.
Hubby's dad (father in law) is doing very poorly. He's currenlty in the hospital and extremely week and has pneumonia. We are brassed for the worse but praying for a miracle. I have kept our grandson most everyday this summer. He is 8 yrs. old now and a lot of help. He's strong, willing and loves to garden. He has started 3rd grade at school last week, so my day times are a little to quite. LOL. I do miss him a lot but some days I pick him up after school for our son. He's doing extremely well in baseball and was even scouted for a team he joins this fall.
I was sad and happy at the same time reading some of the current post. I'll try to stay in touch a little more.
Signing off.....LIFE IS GOOD!

So good to hear from you! Boy, the physical stuff sure gets more apparent as we age, but you are doing all the right things.
Being to busy to post is a GOOD thing. :)

A New Smyrna Beach man could spend the rest of his life in prison after beating and raping a woman who hired him to do work at her house.
A Volusia County jury deliberated for four hours before finding 50-year-old Willie Henderson guilty.
Henderson barged into the victim's home last year, punched her in the face then beat, choked and raped her.
The victim testified during the trial.
Henderson will be sentenced in December.

DETROIT (AP) — A power failure has knocked out electricity to some parts of downtown Detroit, including City Hall and several court buildings.
DTE Energy Co. spokesman Scott Simons says Wednesday afternoon's outage followed a cable failure and that the city's Public Lighting Department was working on the problem.
Detroit Frank Murphy Hall of Justice has been evacuated after its courtrooms were left in the dark, and trials and other proceedings have been shut down.
The nearby 36th District Court also has lost power as have several buildings on Wayne State University's campus in Midtown.
Detroit's above-ground People Mover rail system downtown also is without power.

working as RN part-time during med school?
- 0Oct 22, '09 by meddecisionsI'm currently earning my BSN and have decided that I would like to go to medical school following graduation. I would like to work as an RN during my 4 years of med school and am wondering if anyone has ever done this, IS doing this or knows someone who has? It would be part-time and potentially odd hours. I'm looking forward to, eventually, being an MD (at this point I am interested in Radiology, but that may change) with experience from a nurses perspective. Looking forward to your feedback- Thanks much!
- 0Oct 23, '09 by fiveofpeephave you completed the med school pre reqs and mcat? this has been discussed previously...try searching for it
- 0Oct 23, '09 by meddecisionsThanks! I am new to the boards and will certainly search for that. Yes, I will have completed all prereq's and taken the MCAT before I begin the AMCAS process. Actually, it was the BSN core biology courses and organic chem that got me thinking about medical school. I mean, what else do you do when you get super excited to take biochem and molecular biology as electives??! I love patient care, so, if I can combine that with gobs of science then I'm in heaven.
- 4Oct 23, '09 by blondy2061h, MSN, RNIf you're in CRNA school, many programs won't allow you to work even part time during the program because it's just so intensive. I imagine med school would be even worse. I would imagine it's extremely rare for anyone to work any job during med school. Further, as a new grad, you're going to have a hard time finding a place that is willing to hire and orient you to only work part time. This is particularly true with the economy making jobs scarce in parts of the country. Further, med school is extremely stressful. Working as an RN for the first time isn't an easy adjustment. It's also typically an extremely stressful time. I loved my job right off the bat, was always a good student, and here I am 18 months later still rather stressed out by my job some days.
I hate to be a debbie downer, and I definitely encourage you to pursue med school if that's what you want to do, but I don't see this working.
- 0Oct 23, '09 by shiccyI was actually in pre-med before deciding to change to a BSN, and part of the decision process was the amount of time it'd take to complete my education... typically post-BA it takes 8-12 years to finish med school and residency. If you're specializing, it may and probably will take even longer.
Just something to keep in mind... you could totally do it, but it will definitely be taxing on you and test your determination!
- 0Oct 23, '09 by diane227Most hospitals will not hire new grads into their float pool. And they usually won't hire them per diem because the cost benefit ratio is too high. They would have to spend too much time and money orienting you and you would not be able to work much so it would not be worth it for them. Agencies might not hire you because you have no experience. I am not sure how to advise you on this because having been a manager I have had nurses who have gone on into medical school but they have worked as nurses for a few years before they did. I know if I was a manager and a new grad wanted a part time job while he/she was in medical school I would not hire that person until they came back with some experience.
- 0Oct 23, '09 by MagsMomSome medical schools require you sign an agreement that you will not work during the academic year (this is how it was when my ex was in medical school). They expected you to take out loans to pay for expenses or, in my case, have a spouse who is willing to sweat blood to get you through! Some students worked in the summer between first and second year but I knew no one who worked at any other time. For what it's worth there was one nurse in his class and she did quite well, however, she had been a nurse for about 10 years and an FNP for about 5 years before med school. She was amazing and was looking to expand her scope of practice.
Just curious, though, why would you want to go into radiology if you love patient care so much. Seems like an odd combination.
- 1Oct 23, '09 by Student4_lifeNot possiable, no way no how. My fiancee is in medical school and there is now way to work and go to school. You just need to learn so much in such a short amount of time that there really isn't time to work. She earned strait A's with 2 Majors in undergrad and worked two different jobs (one was teaching the MCAT and the other was working for the college) for over 30 hours a week, so she can definately learn quickly but now she spends all but one-two hours a day either sleeping studying or going to school. So no you cannot work and go to med school at the same time, especially as a new nurse that is going to be at the bottom of the pile. You can however look into becoming a DNP. I hear that unlike medical school, you can take courses for that part time.
- 0Oct 23, '09 by pryncessamandaIf you are able to work during med school, home health care is a great idea. The schedule is very flexible and a lot of time you can pick and chose your hours. Also since there is a lot of down time it would be perfect for a the studying and reading you are going to have to do. You may get paid less than a hospital but it has a lot to offer considering your situation. Good luck!

Week one questions for Medi Weightloss
Hello Medi Friends:
This is day 3 for me. I am so blessed to have found out about this program!
I have a couple of questions.
After week one are we supposed to stay in ketosis?
Do shiritake noodles affect ketosis or weightloss? Are they really zero calories and carbs like they say on package? Can I eat them all the time after week 1?
Is it normal that I feel a bit weak and do not have much mental energy or thinking power? I have not taken the appetite suppressants yet and do not have any hunger! That is a first.
I so look forward to this journey.:clap:
Shiratake noodles didnt affect my ketosis , but I suggest miracle noodles (google them) because they have no carbs and in my opinion taste better. I eat them almost at every meal. They are like 97% water and absorb the taste of whatever i cook them with.
Thanks for that.
Hi and welcome! Head on over to the thread below for a lot of tips and helpful hints for the new MWL patient:
Do a search and you will find a whole thread about miracle/shiritaki noodles.
And come on over to our September thread for support and encouragement.

symbol-to-string and
string-to-symbol but, alas, they do not seem exist.
Do not despair! Such functions do actually exist, although their names are likely to surprise you:
1 2 3 4
GNU info format (they don't call it a
self-documenting editor for no reason). Most Emacs users know how to
access that built-in documentation with
C-h i (
M-x info) and some
Emacs users even know that the Emacs manual can be opened directly
C-h r (
M-x info-emacs-manual).
If you know the name of the manual you're looking for, however,
there's a nice little-known alternative to using
C-h i - the
info-display-manual command. When you run it you'll be prompted in
the minibuffer for the name of the manual you'd like to view (manual
name completion is available).
To give you a more concrete example of the command's advantage over
info let's try to open the Emacs Lisp manual with both
commands. With
info you'll have to type the following:
And the alternative would be:
If you like the command I'd suggest binding it to some keybinding:
Now you don't have any excuses not to contribute to Emacs!
If you're wondering where to start I'd suggest taking a look at this short article.]]>
You can read about all the new features here. I've published a series of articles about some of the more interesting features.
In related news - the Emacs Mac Port based on 24.4 has also been released.]]>
Such a document would be a great starting point for many newcomers to the Emacs community and should increase the overall quality of the code produced by it. There's much to be documented about code layout, preferred syntactic conventions, major and minor mode definitions, etc. and I obviously can't know the best practices about everything so I'll need a lot of help.
Of course, we already have the official coding guidelines, but they are a bit light on examples, rationale, etc. Hopefully the community style guide will manage to fill any gaps in them and in good time portions of it will find their place in the official documentation.
I'm inviting all members of our community interested in promoting good Emacs Lisp practices to join the development of this document!]]>
superword-mode, which
also alters the behavior of word-based commands when enabled.
Normally Emacs would consider underscores and dashes word separators
snake_case and
lisp-case anyone?). This affects all
commands -
kill-word, etc. Let's
see a couple of examples (
| denotes the cursor position):
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35
Personally I find the default behavior combined with
great. I do a lot of Ruby and Lisp programming and it also makes a lot
of sense to me to be able to navigate the portions of a complex word,
but I guess not everyone feels this way. Enter
superword-mode - when
it's enabled all "complex/compound" words are treated as a single word:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17
Note that you cannot have
subword-mode and
superword-mode enabled
at the same time. Turning one of them on will disable the other.
Personally, I don't see much value in
superword-mode as a mode
that's enabled all the time, but I can imagine some useful
scenarios in which I'd enable it briefly to do some focused editing.
prettify-symbols-mode. Its purpose is to replace the standard text
representation of various identifiers/symbols with a (arguably) more
aesthetically pleasing representation (often a single unicode
character would replace several ascii characters).
A classic example would be
lambda from various Lisp dialects that many people
prefer to replace with the greek letter
λ (small lambda).
prettify-symbols-mode allows you
to achieve this by relying on a simple mapping expressed in the form of an
alist that
each major mode must initialize (
Simply put - major modes have to provide the configuration for
Lisp modes do this via
1 2
This means that out of the box only
lambda will get replaced.
You can, of course, add more mappings for different major modes:
1 2 3
Let's see the mode in action. Consider this bit of Emacs Lisp code:
1 2 3 4
After you do
M-x prettify-symbols-mode you'll end up with:
1 2 3 4
To enable this for a particular mode use
(add-hook 'some-mode-hook 'prettify-symbols-mode).
If you'd like to enable it globally just add the following to your config:
By the way, sky is the limit for symbol prettification. One fairly extreme example would be
vim's plugin haskell-conceal+ that goes to great
lengths to bring proper mathematical notation to Haskell code. We can achieve more or less the same effect
prettify-symbols-mode, but one have to ask themselves where should we draw the border between
tasteful and distasteful prettifications.
*scratch* buffer - after
all it's always present when you start your Emacs. If you've set
inhibit-startup-screen to
t (which I recommend) it will even be
the very first buffer see each time you fire up your beloved editor
(unless you alter
initial-buffer-choice, that is).
The scratch buffer was conceived a scratchpad for notes and Emacs Lisp experiments and a lot of Emacs users find it quite handy. On the other hand - even more users don't really write Emacs Lisp and probably find little value in this buffer.
One little know fact about the
*scratch* buffer is that its initial
major mode (by default it's
lisp-interaction-mode) is not hardcoded
and you can alter it. If you're a Ruby developer you might opt to
make it use
ruby-mode by default:
If you do this I'd also advise you to change the buffer's initial contents. By default they are:
1 2 3
For Ruby something like this might be better:
1 2 3 4
Or you can simply set
initial-scratch-message to
nil and be done with it.
Using it is pretty simple:
M-x git-timemachine (or bind it to a keybinding of your choice)
p visit previous historic version
n visit next historic version
w copy the hash of the current historic version
q exit the time machine buffer
Here you can see
git-timemachine in action:
This package is bundled with Prelude.]]>
That said, I recently discovered an interesting alternative to one-off
crowdfunding campaigns called gratipay.
Self-described as
sustainable crowdfunding (meaning people will get
microdonations (say half a buck) from their patrons each week) it seems like a
reasonable way to raise a modest sum of money so you could work on
open-source projects more than your regular schedule might permit.
So, if you like Emacs Redux and the Emacs projects in which I'm involved like:
consider supporting my work via Gratipay.
Alternatively you can use PayPal.
I'd like to draw my readers attention to two new blogs:
lunarsite is not exactly new (it was
started in March 2014), but I don't think enough people have come
across it, so I'm mentioning it here anyway. It's operated by one of
the most prolific members of the Emacs community in recent years - the
great Sebastian Wiesner
flycheck and
cask fame).
If you're thinking of writing your first major mode - you'll find some great advice there.
Endless Parentheses is a brand new blog started by Arthur Malabarba. It's dedicated to concise posts on improving your Emacs productivity.
The content so far is similar to the articles I write here, so if you like
Emacs Redux
you'll likely enjoy
Endless Parentheses as well.
C-h f (
C-h v
describe-variable) and
C-h k (
describe-key) and jumping to the source from the help buffer those commands produce.
Let's see if we can improve upon this workflow.
Enter the built-in Emacs library
find-func. It provides a myriad of useful commands to help us quickly locate sources.
Let's take a brief look at some of them.
M-x find-library. If you want to find the source of
ido you can do so like this:
I'd suggest binding the command to
C-h C-l for quick access:
M-x find-function. Here's an example:
I'd suggest binding the command to
C-h C-f for quick access:
We can actually do one better - we can directly jump to a command
definition using a keybinding of the command with
find-function-on-key. Here's how we can find the source the command
bound to
C-a (
I'd suggest binding the command to
C-h C-k for quick access:
M-x find-variable. Here's an example:
I'd suggest binding the command to
C-h C-v for quick access:
The library provides other useful commands as well - like
find-function-at-point and
If you don't like the keybindings I suggested you can use
find-function-setup-keys instead. This will give you keybindings
C-x F,
C-x V,
C-f K (plus a few extra for commands like
Another really cool way to browse Elisp sources (and documentation) is the third-party package elisp-slime-nav. Assuming you've installed it already you can enabled it like this:
1 2 3
Once this is done you'll be able to jump to the source of the Emacs
Lisp object at point (function or variable) with
M-. (as in SLIME
and CIDER for Common Lisp and Clojure respectively) and jump back with
M-,. You can also see the description of the object at point using
C-c C-d (or
C-c C-d d).
That's all for today, folks!
All the suggested keybindings are present out-of-the-box in
elisp-slime-nav is also
enabled out-of-the box in Prelude.
elnode-powered rewrite is ready) and stale packages (due to the fact
the sometimes people upload packages they don't own there and stop
updating them after a while).
Now there's an alternative to Marmalade, which offers a MELPA-like
experience - MELPA stable. It
offers stable packages built automatically from
git tags, meaning
the only thing you have to do to release a new version of a package
(assuming there's a MELPA recipe for it, of course) is to tag the release in
git. No more stale packages! No more manual package uploads!
To use the new repo add this to your Emacs config:
1 2
Currently more than 500 packages are available for installation there. That number is bound to grow (a lot).
By the way, the maintainers of
MELPA are looking for help to update
the home page of the stable package archive. Currently it's the same
as the one of the snapshot archive, which is a bit confusing
(especially regarding installation instructions). If you'd like to
help fork and improve the
page's code on GitHub.
By default Emacs will display this warning for every file bigger than 10MB, which is quite annoying (conservative), especially given the fact that on any modern computer even much bigger files will be loaded almost instantaneously and won't slow down Emacs significantly.
You can adjust this behavior by altering the value of the
large-file-warning-threshold variable. I'd suggest setting it to
something like 100MB:
1 2
Alternative, you can set it to
nil, which will suppress the
warning permanently, regardless of the size of the file you're trying to open.
P.S. By the way, it's not particularly wise to edit huge files (say bigger than 1GB) in Emacs directly. If you need to do something like this I'd suggest taking a look at the excellent vlfi package.]]>
See you soon!]]>
which-function-mode is active you'll see in the center of your
modeline the name of the definition your cursor is currently in.
Here's the mode in action:
And here's how to enable it:
That way
which-function-mode will be active in all major modes that
support it. If you want to enable it only in specific modes you can do
so like this:
1 2
By default
??? will be displayed when
which-function-mode cannot
determine the name (perhaps because you're not actually in a
definition or due to implementation limitations). You can change this
to something else like this:
And what if you don't like to have the definition name displayed in the mode-line? There's a solution for you as well (suggested by Sebastian Wiesner). Use the following bit of code:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
And you'll get the following result:
That's all for today, folks! Hack Emacs Lisp & prosper!]]>
>= are variadic - meaning they accept variable number of arguments (as do functions like
*, etc).
Here's an example:
1 2 3
This is pretty cool and save you from writing code like:
1 2
Prefix function position for the win!
In Emacs Lisp, however, all these comparison functions (unlike
-, etc)
accept just two arguments, which is somewhat unlispy. Luckily this is
one of the things that's going to change with Emacs 24.4.
Emacs Lisp takes another small step to becoming a good Lisp dialect!
All this changes in Emacs 24.4 with the introduction of two new hooks -
focus-in-hook and
The first is triggered when the current frame gains focus and the second when the frame loses focus.
So, if we want to save our active buffer when the Emacs frame loses focus we can simply do it like this:
Or you can go a step further and save all the buffers:
I pretty sure you'll find other creative ways to apply those new hooks to good use!]]>
By default
M-x delete-duplicate-lines will delete all but one copy
of any identical lines in the region. So assuming this is the region:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
it will be reduced to this:
1 2 3 4 5 6
When the command is invoked with a
C-u prefix, it searches backwards
and keeps the last instance of each repeated line. So this:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
will become:
1 2 3 4 5 6
Identical lines need not be adjacent, unless you've invoked the
command with a
C-u C-u prefix. When the command is invoked with a
C-u C-u C-u prefix, it retains repeated blank lines.
hash-table-keys and
hash-table-values (which would return a list of all keys/values in a
Many people who needed them simply defined them in their code
directly (usually in terms of

Plumtree App Lets Portal Users Collaborate
The new application allows users of Plumtrees Corporate Portal software to share documents, schedule tasks and participate in discussions, company officials said.
While some collaboration capabilities were already available in Plumtrees Corporate Portal 4.0 through the use of the companys Gadget Web Services technology, Collaboration Server is a separate application, with its own database for storing project information and a separate administrative experience for managing projects, officials said. Collaboration Server projects can span portal deployments, combining users, documents and tasks from multiple portals.
The application, however, does take advantage of Plumtrees Gadget Web Services technology to present documents, deadlines, announcements and conversation threads to the portal as Web Services. Each project in Collaboration Server is associated with a Plumtree Portal Community, and each object within a project is searchable, so portal users can quickly locate information within a project, officials said.
Through the portal interface, users can view calendars and assign tasks and milestones and share documents with version control, change notification, workflow, and check-in and checkout for editing.
Users can also publish completed documents from Collaboration Server to the Plumtree Document Directory. In addition, they have access to task lists with deadlines and dependencies and threaded discussions, with e-mail alerts when new threads are added.
"Collaboration is a crucial element of our vision of the portal as both an enterprise-wide delivery vehicle for data center applications and corporate communications and an interactive workspace for business units and workgroups throughout the enterprise," said Plumtree CEO John Kunze, in a statement.
Plumtree also announced two products designed to support interactive workspaces in the portal: Plumtree Studio Server, which is a graphical environment for creating Gadget Web Services; and the Plumtree Gadget Framework for Microsoft Excel, which publishes Excel charts and tables to the portal.
