Michelle Wie Opens Her Bag
The wait is over for Michelle Wie who recorded her first professional victory on Sunday at the Lorena Ochoa Invitational by Banamex and Corona Light. In her 65th LPGA tournament - 18th as a member this season - the 20-year-old clinched the win with a 30-yard sand shot to one foot on the 72nd hole for birdie. Wie joins six other Rolex First-Time Winners this season and is the fifth American winner on Tour this season.
"It feels, it sounds cliché, but it feels awesome," Wie said. "Fantastic actually. For sure, it's definitely (a monkey) off my back. I think that hopefully life will be a lot better, but I still have a lot of work to do."

Guy Fawkes
The Gunpowder Plot is remembered in many different ways. Not only is the basement of the House of Parliament commemoratively searched at the opening of each new session, but via a Parliamentary act, King James I designated 1 November as a day of thanksgiving for "the joyful day of deliverance". This act was in effect until 1859, but even to this day, Guy Fawkes Night is still celebrated both publicly and privately around the country.
The week before the holiday, effigies of Guy Fawkes and his co-conspirators are constructed, and children often parade "The Guys" through the streets and beg for "a penny for the Guy". This money is then used to buy fireworks, which are used for the festivities and carnivals. Large bonfires are built, and these effigies are then burned.
Make your own effigy! Mould a frame out of chicken wire |
A Guy Fawkes hat |
Provided you are within the legal limits, fireworks such as sparklers |
Be sure to bring something to roast! Baked potatoes and treacle |
Check out the External Links below to find recipes for these traditional snacks!
Toffee apples are a holiday staple, and are incredibly fun to make. Don't forget the ice lolly sticks |
Parkin is a classic ginger cake and a perfect accompaniment to a cup of tea or a blazing bonfire. |
There are many different recipes for a Bonfire Punch. Don't forget to make one for the kids as well. |
This is a perfect recipe for children (supervised, of course!) as chocolate sparklers require little prep. |
First of all, don't forget about the Guy Fawkes' Day poem:
Remember, remember the Fifth of November, |

Faith and Treason: The Story of the Gunpowder Plot Antonia Fraser retells Guy Fawkes' story much in the manner of a detective novel. |

This book by Emma Lynch is targeted at children and uses primary source materials to tell Fawkes' story. |
This dystopian film starring Natalie Portman is heavily influenced by the Guy Fawkes legend. |

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Text of report by state-run television channel PTV News on 7 October;
words within double slant lines are in English
[Begin live relay]
[Unidentified anchorperson]
To give analysis on 10th anniversary of US invasion of Afghanistan, we
have Rahimullah Yousufzai, who is an expert on Afghan affairs, with us
on a telephonic link. Greetings Rahim; we were discussing that the
statements coming from the US President, Pentagon and white house, are
sometimes harsh while sometimes soft. Do you think US President Barack
Obama and his team is putting blame on Pakistan for the sake of [gaining
advantages in] next elections.
[Rahimullah Yousufzai] This has been their trend. Sometimes they [the
United States] praise and then they complain and criticize. I think when
they face difficulties in Afghanistan, they try to take it out on
Pakistan and put pressure on Pakistan. They also think that since they
are giving Pakistan military and non-military aid, they want Pakistan to
work according to their demands. Pakistan has to consider its interests.
The United States think that US interests should also be Pakistan's
interest. There are contradictions. The United States is facing many
difficulties in Afghanistan and they think Pakistan is not fully
cooperation with the United States and therefore they are not able to
succeed in Afghanistan.
[Unidentified anchorperson] Don't you think we deserve the right to
indentify our enemy or friend in Afghanistan after the US withdrawal
from the country?
[Yousufzai] It should have been like this from the beginning. We will
always live here. Afghanistan is our neighbor and the situation in
Afghanistan affects us. We should make our decision while considering
our interests. We should not interfere in Afghanistan but Afghanistan's
soil should not be used against us either. A //prominent answer// in
Pakistan's policy is that Afghanistan's soil is used against us. Afghans
have the same complaint but we carried out military operations for that.
Some of them were effective while some were not. This is one of our big
issues. It is very difficult to control our border [with Afghanistan]
//Durand line//. There are people [insurgents] going [into Afghanistan]
from this side and people are also coming from the other side to carry
out operations in Pakistan.
[Unidentified anchorperson] Thank you Rahimullah Yousufzai for your

Plans for the A43 Corby Link Road will be discussed by Northamptonshire County Council's cabinet next week. If the cabinet approves the report the next stage will be to make an application to government for full approval, prior to the appointment of a contractor to undertake the works. It is anticipated that work will start on site in June this year with the road opening to traffic in summer 2014. County council cabinet member for infrastructure and public protection, Cllr Andre Gonzalez De Savage said: "The A43 Corby Link Road is a major highway scheme that has been developed over many years by the county council and remains a high priority with the aim of improving transport links between Corby and the A14. "It will also help to facilitate economic and population growth in the north of the county, in and around Corby and will relieve the A43 at Geddington of through traffic." The A43 Corby Link Road will involve the construction of 6.5km of dual carriageway, between the A6003, just south of Barford Bridge and the Stanion roundabout at the junction of the A43 / A6116 to the south east of Corby. Planning permission has already been granted for the road and all of the compulsory purchase orders and side roads orders are in place. Therefore, the scheme has In November last year the government announced it would provide just over Ł21 million for the project. The council would be responsible for funding the remaining costs of the Ł36 million scheme. The bid and other information can be found at http://www.northamptonshire.gov.uk/en/councilservices/Transport/TP/Pages/A43CorbyLinkRd.aspx |

Providence had Hillcrest on the ropes Thursday night, but it was Hawks point guard Kyle Oden who delivered the knockout blows.
With less than five minutes remaining and the score tied at 46 in their Class 3A Rich East Sectional semifinal, Oden showed his poise, dishing consecutive assists to stave off the Celtics' upset bid.
Oden first found Devin Harrison for a three-pointer, then drove the lane and dished to Taylor Adway for a dunk.
Oden had a hand in 10 of the Hawks' final 13 points and finished with 15 points, five assists and five steals as Hillcrest outlasted Providence 59-51 in a wild game featuring 18 lead changes.
"Kyle wasn't going to let us down," Hillcrest coach Don Houston said. "His intensity is one of the reason's we're going to be able to play (Friday night)."
The win pushes Hillcrest to its third sectional title game in four years. The Hawks (23-6) will face Rich East at 7:30 p.m. Friday for the sectional title.
"The game was going to come down to execution," Oden said. "So I knew we had to run our plays and get our sets in. We knew they had some good guards, but we didn't think they could stop us getting to the basket."
Jovan Mooring added 15 points for Hillcrest, Harrison scored 12 and Devonta Archer added eight off the bench.
Providence (15-14) led by as many as seven points in the second quarter, and was up 44-40 in the fourth after a jumper by guard Kevin Kozan (8 points).
"They put a lot more pressure on us in the fourth quarter. I started getting trapped at halfcourt," Kozan said. "They hit the big shots and we didn't."
Jay Ramadurai led the Celtics with 19 points. Ramadurai finished 11-of-12 from the free-throw line and 4-of-6 from the field.
Miles Boykin netted 10 points and eight rebounds and Nick Dinardi added nine points for the Celtics.
It was rough shooting night Kozan, who finished 3-of-21 from the floor but added nine rebounds and two assists.
"When I saw us down in the fourth quarter, I thought I could help us back into the game," he said. "My shots just weren't falling."

For the 2014 Fair Season, the Schoharie County Sunshine Fair will not accept the Statewide Fair Pass issued by the New York State Association of Agricultural Fairs, Inc., but we have another alternative for you!
We wanted to be sure that everyone who plans to attend is aware of the discounted Fair admission. Our 8-day Fair pass is a real bargain – from NOW until Fair time a special of $45 for anyone age 13 and over is available which is a discount of 25% from the 2013 price (less than $5.63 a day).
The decision to only accept Schoharie County Sunshine Fair passes stems from many issues including the misuse of State Passes. Since each local Fair receives NO money from the sale of these State passes, we discovered that this represented a large loss of income for our Fair. We will continue to support our State Association, which we have done since its inception, but not at a financial burden to our Agricultural Society which will hurt our fairgoers.
You can purchase the 8 day pass at our Fair office on the fairgrounds. Please supply name, address, phone, and e-mail address for each ticket to be purchased. The Cobleskill Agricultural Society is also offering two $500 scholarships which is new this year.
The Schoharie County Sunshine Fair is home to the 138 year old County Fair which supplies a venue for our County and presents opportunities to showcase a diverse sampling of products, goods and services plus education and entertainment.

Their Supposed Passion: She did seem privy to his every desire....

Gary mayor Karen Freeman Wilson, offers remarks on the history of Gary's drug court program which was started under her as city judge in 1996. | Jeffrey D. Nicholls~Sun-Times Media
Article Extras
Updated: June 19, 2013 6:11AM
GARY — Amid the prayers and song, inspirational speeches and grateful acknowledgements, Gary City Drug Court graduate Cynthia M.'s simple gesture summed it up best.
As she left the podium, Cynthia raised her certificate in celebration and delivered a smile that prompted applause from the packed courtroom Friday afternoon.
She was one of nine graduates at the 39th commencement of the drug court program, successfully completing a year of meetings, drug tests, community service and other requirements.
Cynthia said she entered the program for her "two babies," sons 12 and 3 years old.
"Sometimes I wonder if I could do this program," City Court Judge Deidre Monroe confessed to a group that included old and new graduates, their families, elected officials and dignitaries from local, county and state offices.
This ceremony was highlighted by accolades from Chris Deutsch of the National Association of Drug Court Professionals. The association is traveling across the country to recognize 25 outstanding programs and chose Gary from hundreds.
"It is a shining example of why drug courts work," he said.
Deutsch raised the "All Rise" gavel, which he said symbolizes what happens when people break free from their addictions.
"Then we all rise," he said.
Hollywood actor Harry Lennix provided the keynote address, telling graduates, "We learn about our limitations, that they can be exceeded if we keep our eyes on the prize."

Problem description:
The overlays are not being removed.
I have tried doing "overlays -=" of the one of the objects instead (nLP / BG / N1 etc) and that worked... yet for some reason the typesof() fails.
I'm told you cant do typesof() with overlays, but ive done this in another proc and it worked fine. The only difference was that i was making the overlay directly (+= /obj/type/something/thing) then removing all of that type later in another proc (-= typesof(obj/type/something)).
Anyone know why this is happening? :/

By my calculations, I took 220,752,000 incorrect breaths before I started to do it right. Slow learner, I know. I'd breathed the same way for forty-two years. Then this guy a New York vocal coach named Justin Stoney gave me a lesson.
I'd always heard, "Breathe with your diaphragm." Fine. But where the hell is a man's diaphragm? Forget the diaphragm. And while you're at it, forget the chest. Just focus on the stomach. Push it out like you're doing an Al Gore impression as much paunch as you can, maybe even some gravitas. Then pull it in. The breath will follow. When the stomach is fattest, that's when you create a vacuum and air enters your body. When you flatten your belly, the air will shoot out. If you feel your lungs filling up, you're doing it wrong. Don't breathe with the upper chest. And don't worry: It seems like a pain in the ass now, but it'll become second nature surprisingly quick.
With my new respiration, I have more endurance, I feel more energetic (possibly the placebo effect, but so be it), and I don't have that horrible burning-chest feeling when I'm pounding the treadmill.

Hi, Bookies! Let's Start Reading
Hello, everyone! I'm Maggie Shi, a deputy editor for RealSimple.com, where I work with content across several different areas—food, money, family, work, and life lessons. My job involves everything from overseeing photo shoots for the website to collaborating with the magazine editors to writing our daily recipe newsletter. I also blog regularly about food here on Simply Stated and am attempting to cook my way through the Real Simple recipe repertoire this year.
I'm an avid reader, so I'm incredibly excited to be leading the February book club. I read Jeannette Walls' memoir, The Glass Castle, about a year ago and absolutely fell in love with it, so I've been eagerly anticipating this follow-up. The title of the book, Half Broke Horses, also intrigued me; I was maybe just a *little* bit obsessed with horses when I was a kid (come on—how many of us weren't?), so anything even remotely about horses is going to catch my eye. Which makes me wonder—what book topics are you constantly drawn to? Personally, I'm a sucker for pretty much anything about food (no surprise there), plus non-fiction about people who move to foreign countries and settle into new cultures, women who run off in search of adventure/fulfillment, and almost any collection of short stories.
This winter has been extra snowy and cold in most of the country, so it's perfect weather for snuggling up with a cozy blanket, a good book, and a cup of tea or glass of wine. Since Half Broke Horses has nine chapters, let's read three at a time. Here's the schedule:
Chapters 1 through 3 by Wednesday, February 9
Chapters 4 through 6 by Wednesday, February 16
Chapters 7 through 9 (including the tiny epilogue, naturally) by Wednesday, February 23
Really looking forward to this—stay warm, and happy reading!

Let me start by saying, I am not a fan of pigments. They're too messy and too much work for me usually.
This one, however, is well worth the effort.
It's a beautiful, almost salmony, gold toned creamy colour with tiny flecks of glitter. When used on top of a tacky primer, the glitter stays in place on my all day and I don't end up looking like a disco ball by close of play.
I use it dry with a MAC 239 and pat it onto my lids. I usually do my crease colour first to avoid having to blend this too much, otherwise the glitter does become a bit of a pain.
I originally got a sample of this in a swap, then found the full size in my local CCO. I'm never going to run out of this, but if I did, I wouldn't hesitate to repurchase.

I got this at a CCO a while ago for 13.95, its my very first pigment and im really happy with it. The color is just a nice peachy light gold color i think it would work on alot of skin tones! The thing with this pigment is it is very shimmery, so if you prefer a slight shimmer or matte finish this might not be for you. But ultimatly its amazing, i feel like it will last a long time and i cant wait to press it! If you find it at your local CCO i would really consider getting it! A good dupe for this is mac's all that glitters.

Lithe is such a beautiful color that I went out and bought another one. It's a versatile color that can be used in many ways. MAC should consider making this a permanent color.

This is a great pigment! This pigment is finely milled so it is not chunky and it is easy to blend. The color is a peachy with a hint of gold shimmer. Lithe is a great color to wear to the workplace for those of us who love to wear neutral looks.
Today I placed Lithe on my lid, and blended it out using MAC Texture eyeshadow, with Rich Life Pigment in the crease, and Vanilla pigment as a highlight! It was absolutely gorgeous. I think this will be the only pigment that I will be purchasing a back up of!

Love it! Was looking forward to this one, and it was worth the wait! Probably the best pigment MAC has released in quite some time (at least for me and my needs). It is a smooth pigment, very little fallout, and with very little glitter. I would describe it as a peachy-nude color, like a toned-down version of MAC Melon pigment. I used Lithe all over my lower lids, then used a BE shadow in the crease and outer 3rds of lids (called Herbal Tea), and blended MAC Kid over the BE crease color. The look was sensational! I used the new black pen liner from MAC from the Fabulous Felines Collection (senile me forgot the name) to line my upper lashline, and I loved the way my eyes came out today. I will be doing this look again, and I will be getting a lot of use out of Lithe. But~ like a reviewer before me... I don't like the new pigment jars, either. It makes it harder to get the product out and smoothly onto my brush. The lid is too small to properly tap & swirl the product in. Looks like I will be transferring this into a different jar.... but the pigment, itself, is 5 stars worthy IMO!

I love this pigment! The color is perfect as a highlighter or all over lid color. It is the brown girls answer to Vanilla pigment. It has the prettiest gold shimmer. Not too overly shimmery, just very subtle. I would most def repurchase if I every run out. Side Note: I hate the new pigment jars. The old ones are far better.

Down by the river, the grass and weeds are already super tall. Once a week, we've been cutting it for the animals.
Several weeks ago, we took some cuttings from a grape vine and rooted them. We dipped each cutting in some rooting hormone and put them in a mix of perlite and dirt.
Ocotillo blooms make a great tea, a little like hibiscus. They're only out for a short period of time, so make the most of them.
We are now back into mint season. All along the river it grows wild, a thick fragrant carpet. We have a bag of it in the fridge that we continually restock.
Within any balanced ecosystem, there are tons of things to eat. The trick is finding and using them without upsetting that balance, or your belly. Knowing your ecosystem is paramount to using it as a food source.

that's how i vision skateboarding during the day
Have you ever wondered what would happen if you painted a skatepark with light at night? Me either, but ben matthews did it and took some really amazing photography.

that's how i vision skateboarding during the day
I just wasted a minute of my life that I will never get back…those pictures look like a second grader made them…dumb dumb dumb…why is this even on the web????
I would decide between bubble gum years and light painting, and then only put one of them up. I feel as though they are pretty similar and one of them is stronger than the other.
Dude this is like way cool.
Incredible! Beautiful set of photo's. In the second to last is that how much the sky moved during the shot? Again, amazing stuff, hat's off to all involved!
Top notch ! Great work, and must have taken a while to capture them all. Really captivating and original work dude !
What program is used to make these effects?

If I could see skateboarding like this all the time, I would never stop skating.
It's great that you can use the stars as a gauge of how long it took to create.
dope pics… awesome stuff
Pingback: Skatepark after dark - Surreal | Fotomeuk - Picdump
nice pics!
@Thomas: The program is called a long exposure on your camera + flashlights.
Wow man, these photos are so amazing. thank you for sharing this.
wow!! great work!
Wow JAY, you know 2nd graders who understand Fstop vs. aperture, can operate a manual camera in bulb exposure, wind and release the film, drive themselves to a color processing lab, scan the film, edit the color, contrast, sharpness, and treatment, then post the images to the web? That is really amazing. You are an amazing person. Keep up the good work.
Jay…the negative nancy jay…. go get your mom to fuck with a rubber hose, with the water on so you can clean all that shit inside you, cuz it seems to be coming out your mouth. good job George, dope pics
Cool light effects man, nice low light shooting too. Good job, I personally like it.
What fun! i had forgotten about flashlight fun.
Cool venue for this.
Absolutely gorgeous.
@Jay-You're a faggot. Go troll other websites or better yet, never "grace" the internet with your presence ever again.
Super sick pictures.
Hey Jay…
As my grandma used to say.
interesting scenes –
we all see and learn things each day, we never have seen or heared of before.
Just be relaxed and take it easy –
"even the lion has to defend himself against flies"
Carry on and never give up to stay tuned :o)
Be well –
@Jay, almost feel sorry for you struggling through life with a small mind. If the pictures were that offensive to you how did you even get through the whole post let alone spend more of your precious time writing a response?
ha ha ha, you really are a fool
@Thomas they used photoshop you dumbass. and these are shit. if you're going to do something as over done as light painting, make it fucking interesting.
good style, I've done alot of shots like this but are those smoke bombs??? I like it…good idea, when do the firework stands open. I'm inspired.
Neat tricks.
There ought to be such a contest as well !

I think you have to be a stoner.. AND a skater to truly enjoy this.
James and Jay are sipping on haterade because they are jealous this series of images gets more attention than their own wack ass light painting frolics. And Kevin, you might be right that being someone who smokes weed on the regs and skateboards on the regs would appreciate this more than someone who does not (i.e. James and Jay = L7). But then again, that sort of person is cooler than the average cat. A good clean fun night of patiently shooting with some friends! Looks like you guys had some fun! Kudos.

Tracers is # 1 in my opinion
I love this! As both a skater and photographer, I can truly appreciate the skills applied. I'm curious what kind of camera was used to shoot these and what f-stops & shutter speeds were used.
If you don't mind me asking, just how long was your exposure? and how did you achieve the smokey light on the ground of some of the images? Also, I agree with Kevin on the first half but I think the latter half should say photographer not skater. Nicely done.
Pingback: Adam McFadyen
these are ok pics good ideas but with photoshop and some abstract brushes my 9 year old son could do these if not better.
Very nice I did the same kind of photo in my gr.11 photography class.
@ Chaos: I believe it involves long exposure times and sparklers, not photoshop and 9 year olds. Fucking idiot.
These are fantastic.
I just discovered light painting and love what you have done to create motion.
some are very eerie!!! i would love to know your flashlight tools…sparklers??
Keep up the great work.

Pretty good photography, but why take pictures in a skate park without including skateboarding? These are incredible shots, don't get me wrong. There is no way I could even come close to getting shots like these. I just think that you could have gone a step further by including some skating in there.
Great job, though.

if your gonna light up a skate park, you should actually skate it
Unbelievable that people think these are effects. You people are fucking dumb and should figure out what you're talking about before you bash peoples creativity. Thanks for sharing!
These are fantastic shots; I tip my hat to you Ben… But those of you that are bashing on these should take a closer look at them. If you look closely at them and follow the individual lines, you will see the shapes of them (hint: look at the loops that are created at the peaks within the half pipe. Second from the bottom titled Jet Fueled) you will see that there is a very high chance that there were skaters involved. You just can't see them due to the fact of the long exp time that is required for this type of photograph and the speed that they travel at. Without the light painting these images would have been flat and unattractive. The reason you can see the detail in the parks is due to the light that is being emitted from the sources that he used. Before you bash something that you see take some time to educate yourself on what you are seeing.

Alright… I just got into lighting effects with photography and whoever says this isn't art is FULL OF SHIT. haha, really though. It's not easy to get shots like this. It truly is a work of art. It takes many exposures and different settings to try, you have to test the shutter speed and ISO over and over to get it just right. So please, don't speak about something that you KNOW NOTHING ABOUT. :]
Painting with light…Love it. How long were you exposing for? Awesome shots! =D

New Energy Center Rendering
Florida Blasts Away Old Power Plant to Make Way for New, July 16 National Geographic
Iconic FPL stacks going away, but fond memories stay, July 16 Sun Sentinel
Boom! Lauderdale power plant razed, July 16 Miami Herald
Success! On July 16, we demolished our 1960s-era Port Everglades Power Plant and in its place we are building a new, more fuel efficient plant that runs on clean, low-cost American natural gas. Construction is scheduled to begin in the first quarter of 2014 and when the new power plant comes online in 2016 it will:
View demolition photos.
The new FPL plant will run on 35 percent less fuel, which will help keep customer bills low. The improved fuel efficiency means the plant will save hundreds of millions of dollars in fuel costs – a savings that FPL will pass along to customers, dollar for dollar. Investments in more efficient power plants are one reason FPL's typical residential customer bill is significantly lower than the national average and the lowest of all 55 electric utilities in Florida.
Building clean energy plants that use domestic energy sources, like natural gas, is also helping FPL reduce America's dependence on foreign oil. Since 2001, the company has dramatically slashed its use of foreign oil by 98 percent – from more than 40 million barrels to less than 1 million barrels in 2012.
The new FPL plant will be much cleaner and better for the environment. Because of the latest technology, the new plant will cut the carbon dioxide emissions rate in half and reduce overall air emissions by more than 90 percent, which is like taking 46,000 cars off I-95 each year.
This investment will boost the economy by creating jobs and generating additional tax revenue for local communities. The project will create an estimated 650 direct jobs during the height of construction, and support many local businesses. Beginning with the first full year of operation, this investment will start delivering approximately $20 million in new tax revenue annually to local governments and schools such as the City of Hollywood, Broward County and Broward County Public Schools.

I think until you get the place level it's hard to know if you really have a problem. When leveled the wave may disappear. |

I love you Adnan <3
Thank you sooooooo much!
Greetings from Germany
Thanks for the download, Adnan!
Wanted to let you know: I played the game and found it's quite glitchy. After the first four or five levels, it starts to crash after every level. I have to close the game and restart it to proceed. I've now gotten to Day 1 of Episode 23 and find that I can't advance. When I play the level, it gets to the end, all the customers gone, but that's it. There's no prompt to end the level, nothing. It's just stuck there with nothing to do.
So this version has problems. Just thought you'd like to know what's going on with it, in case another version comes along. :)
Thanks for reporting problem serai1, will check is there better version for this game.
Also please check is your adobe flash player, directX and graphic drivers up to date to resolve all problems in game.
Hey, Adnan!
I did some research and figured out why this game is so messed up. It's being released in episodes, one per week for 25 weeks, and the releases have STILL not all come out. So what you've got here is a partial game, which explains both why it's glitchy and why it hangs up and won't continue past a certain level. I'd advise waiting until January and then seeing if there are any new versions of it around - those would be more likely to be complete.
Thanks for all your great work!
It is the same problem for me. I'm blocked at episode 23. Thanks for your great work.
You need to wait a couple of minuts, the game will end itself! Works on all the levels! Good luck!
"New Delicious Game (Delicious Emily's Honeymoon Cruise)will coming soon.."
GameHouse Facebook Fans: We have exciting news!
The new Delicious game will be available on September 26, 2013 and you'll have the option to play the full version right away if you buy it before October 4th!
Be aware, though, that if you buy the game on October 4th or later you'll have to wait for a new episode each week.
Mark your calendars for Sep. 26th!

By now, I doubt that any of us have a bracket that is even worth looking at, but that's not to say the NCAA tournament hasn't been enjoyable.
Everyone I know has lost at least one Final Four team by now, and now that our brackets are completely ruined, we can look to the fun side of the tournament — namely the upsets.
The biggest story of the tournament so far has been, without a doubt, the Florida Gulf Coast Eagles.

Proposed Florida Law Would Make Publishing Revenge Porn Without Victim's Consent a Third-Degree Felony
Though revenge porn–the practice of posting pornographic photos of someone without their consent–still largely exists within a legal grey area, lawyers, hackers and victim's rights advocates are working hard to find ways to prosecute those who disseminate it. New Jersey now has a law on the books that makes distribution of revenge porn a third degree crime, which can net you three to five years in jail. Now, the Brevard County Sheriff's Office has proposed a bill to the Florida state legislature that would make it a third-degree felony to publish revenge porn in Florida. Read More

Investments–Scrutinizing the "Happy Talk"
July 10, 2008 by TMO
By Bob Wood, MMNS
Anyone who has been reading this column regularly knows by now that I am no fan of the financial media. I watch with amazement each day as one promoter after another either tells outright lies or invents rationale for whatever premise he/she wants viewers to believe. Now that the stock market has slid back to match its early 2006 level, you would think that investors should have caught on, but all this "happy talk" by stocks and mutual funds sellers continues to catch friendly ears and is, again, proving costly.
When I say that the stock market has gone nowhere in the past two and a half years, I mean that, of course, in nominal terms. In reality, with the dollar getting hammered, any purchasing power left in investor portfolios has suffered dramatic losses. Yet the financial media's "happy talk" continues, and many listeners continue to believe.
Over time, I have suggested some alternative sources of financial information. Investors' review of more objective reporting can not only offset the "happy talk" nonsense, but it may well offer advice to help generate gains in the markets — while domestic markets languish for what could be years to come.
Such sources have been highly valuable to me. They have helped steer me to better opportunities to profit in the markets. Yet, readers might be shocked to learn how different this information is than what we hear on CNBC, where, I think, lying has been elevated to an art form.
I wonder If any of you saw a piece written by Martin Wolf in the July 3,2008 issue of the Financial Times newspaper? In it, he paraphrases a report issued by the Bank for International Settlements, otherwise referred to as ''the central banks' banker.'' The quote reads:
The current market turmoil in the world's main financial centers is without precedent in the post war period. With a significant risk of recession in the U.S., compounded by sharply rising inflation in many countries, fears are building that the global economy might be at some kind of tipping point. These fears are not groundless.
Of course, with the U.S. housing market tanking, car sales following suit, and job losses mounting for the last six months, can I be the only one amazed that financial promoters are still assuring us that our economy is not in recession? Oh, and speaking of jobs, the Government announced last week that the domestic economy lost another 62,000 jobs in June. Meanwhile, readers of Barry Ritholtz' excellent blog (bigpicture.typepad.com) learned that the Bureau of Labor Statistics simply assumed in that report that 177,000 jobs were found and added them to the final number using the "Birth/Death Model." This magic trick saves the Government embarrassment over announcing a far larger loss of jobs.again.
In addition, readers of John Williams' excellent web site (www.shadowstats.com) saw his alert, showing that our true unemployment rate is now 9.9%. Actually, this figure can be found on the same page of the BLS report, three lines below the "official estimate" of 5.5% touted by the media, but, of course, the financial media consistently fails to report it.
Another source — Doug Noland's weekly article on the Prudent Bear web site (prudentbear.com) — recently offered a telling quote from Tim Bond, chief equity strategist at Barclay's Bank. Bond said, ''We're in a nasty environment. There is an inflationary shock under way. This is going to be very negative for financial assets. We are going into tortoise mode and are retreating into our shell. Investors will do well if they can preserve their wealth.''
And readers of the weekly and monthly commentary issued by the biggest bond fund company on the planet, PIMCO, would have seen these recent comments from its co-CEO, Mohamed El-Erian:
The problems endured by the U.S. financial markets over the past year or so aren't just random blips, but signals of a much greater sea change that investors must pay attention to if they're to thrive in the future.
Events that were once "unthinkable" became "thinkable" in the past year, he said. Bank runs occurred in the United States and United Kingdom, for example, and the banking system worldwide raised $350 billion in capital, only to have it wiped out by write-downs, he pointed out. Part of the capital raised came from emerging markets, he added.
"The markets are telling us something," he told conference participants in a wide-ranging speech late Wednesday. "Today, what has suffered is the credibility of the most sophisticated financial system in the world," he said.
"The market of tomorrow, El-Erian said, reflects a global shift as wealth redistributes from the United States to the rest of the world. Markets including China and India are no longer just producers, but consumers that are creating an inflationary price effect across the globe, he said. And foreign countries are also contributing more to global growth, he added.
"The world has gone from having the U.S. as a major engine of growth to having lots of small engines that are still maturing called emerging markets," he said.
It might have been unthinkable in the past, but now there's a flight to quality to areas outside of the United States, he said. The shift is causing the markets to believe that Brazil and Mexico represent safer investments than U.S. companies like Goldman Sachs and Citigroup, he said.
Wow! Did he say that investments in Mexico looked safer to him than those in the U.S.? I think he did!
And finally, readers of Bill Fleckenstein's excellent web site (www.fleckensteincapital.com) would have seen in one of his ''Daily Raps'' last week his reference to a friend who works in the credit markets and knows, first hand, their actual condition. He writes:
By midday, the Dow and S&P were lower by better than 2%, with the Nasdaq 3% lower. All that, as GM traded to the lowest price in roughly 53 years. About that time, I received a phone call from the Lord of the Dark Matter, who began the conversation: "It's about to blow!" He then repeated himself.
He went on to say that behind the scenes, many parts of the credit/mortgage market were "offered only." He said it had nothing to do with month-end or quarter-end. Instead, he believed it had to do with the enormous amount of inventory that would be looking for a home in the next quarter.
He believed that the equity market was "miles behind what was occurring in the mortgage-backed/credit markets." Though he noted that he'd said it before, he repeated: "It's never been this bad."
So, have you been hearing anything like this alternative information from the financial media? Or from your local newspaper, which, too often, gets its information from Government or Wall Street sources? I'd guess that you have not.
Certainly, no shortage of information exists for investors to consider. The hard part is sorting through much of that information, which is useless at best — and quite harmful at worst. You can only help yourself by broadening your scope of information providers. Consider what all sides are saying, and try to square it all with what looks and sounds right to you in terms of the reality you are living. Being fully informed — rather than listening only to "happy talk" — can pay off big, if and when our markets continue their downward spiral.
Have a great week.

This week Symantec began shipping the next release of Symantec Endpoint Protection 12.1 which is an endpoint security solution optimized for use in virtual environments. There are now 4 companies shipping a total of 5 endpoint security solutions for virtual environments. Trend Micro has OfficeScan with a plug-in along with Deep Security Agentless Protection, McAfee Management for Optimized Virtual Environments (MOVE), and now Kaspersky has a product called Kaspersky Security for Virtualization.
We wanted to see how Symantec compared to these other solutions so we tested them for both performance and effectiveness and the results are very interesting.
Reports Discussed:
Dennis Labs –Virtual Desktop Anti-malware Protection, May 2012
Tolly Enterprises – Antivirus Performance in VMware ESXi Virtual Environments, May 2012
Tolly Enterprises – Competitive Anti-virus Performance in VMware vSphere 5 Virtual Environments, October 2012
Tolly Enterprises – Anti-virus Effectiveness in VMware vSphere 5 Virtual Environments, October 2012
Virtual machines have all the same security issues as physical machines. Both require antivirus protection but they also require advanced technologies such as host and network IPS as more than half of all malware is detected by these advanced technologies. Disabling or neglecting to install the full security stack on both physical and virtual machines leaves an organization at serious risk.
Symantec recently sponsored VDI specific tests for both effectiveness and performance. The effectiveness tests were performed by Dennis Labs and Tolly Enterprises. In keeping with best practices, they performed what are known as real-world tests where actual attacks were instigated on working virtual machines to see how effective various solutions really are.
From the Tolly Effectiveness report, the percentage of threats blocked or neutralized by Kaspersky Security for Virtualization was 95%, McAfee MOVE was 80%, and Trend Micro OfficeScan with VDI Plug-in was only 60%. Symantec scored 99% on this test. The Dennis Labs report shows Symantec blocked 100% of threats from getting on the machines while Trend Micro Deep Security blocked only 16% of the threats from getting on the machine. This test was re-run and the results were confirmed.
Effectiveness is one thing but performance is another. In virtual environments there are 2 issues that affect performance (or VDI density). Those 2 issues are resource contention and disk I/O. All products tested have technology to prevent simultaneous scans and updates so resource contention wasn't an issue. However, the primary bottleneck to increased VDI density isn't traditional performance metrics such as memory use or CPU utilization, its disk I/O.
The performance tests by Tolly show Symantec was able to perform an on-demand scan while using 51% less disk bandwidth than Kaspersky Security for Virtualization and 79% less bandwidth than McAfee MOVE. When compared against Trend Micro Deep Security, Symantec used 86% less bandwidth.
No organization should sacrifice performance for effectiveness for their virtual environment and independent tests show Symantec Endpoint Protection 12.1 outperforms the competition and delivers both. Read more about the new release: http://bit.ly/Sx7pT9

A window air conditioner can be a godsend in hot weather, especially if your home lacks the duct-work necessary to install central air. The problem comes when the hot days of summer give way to the cooler weather of the Fall and Winter. When the days get shorter and the temperatures get cooler, you need to decide what to do with that portable air conditioning unit.
You could simply pull that air conditioner out of the window and store it away, but that can introduce a number of other problems. For one thing, you need to decide where to keep that large window unit, something that can be quite difficult in a small home. In addition, many large window air conditioners can weigh in excess of a hundred pounds, so you may not be able to remove it from the window safely without assistance.
If you have a large and heavy air conditioner that is difficult to move and cumbersome to store, the best solution may be to simply leave it where it is, even after summer has come to an end. But before you simply throw a cover over your window unit, it is a good idea to winterize it first.
You can start the winterization by securely closing all of the air vents. These air vents are designed to let fresh outside air into the room, reducing indoor air pollution and helping the air conditioner to operate more efficiently. But when the weather turns cold, you do not want that cold air blowing into your home. Closing the vents can reduce your heating bills and keep your home more comfortable throughout the colder months.
The end of the season is also the perfect time to change the filters in the unit. You should of course change the filters often throughout the summer to keep the air conditioner running efficiently, but changing them at the end of the season is a smart move as well. Changing the filters at the end of the season also gets you ready for next summer.
After you have changed the filters and closed the vents, the next step is to examine the area around the air conditioner carefully. Look for any gaps or holes between the window frame an the air conditioner, and use foam tape or caulking to seal up those spaces and keep air from getting in. You may want to use a flashlight to look for any tiny cracks that could admit cold air and increase your heating bills. After you have sealed up all those spaces, you can safely leave your air conditioner in the window without wasting energy or feeling a draft each time you move past the unit.

Here's a story I filed Tuesday:
When it comes to hitting his recruiting targets as a first-year head coach, Chip Kelly appears to be batting around .750.
Entering national signing day today — the first day prep recruits can put their names to binding letters of intent — Kelly had targeted running back, tight end, the defensive line and the defensive backfield as the Oregon football team's top priorities in the class of 2010. Barring unexpected news today, the Ducks will have cleaned up at three of those positions, and at least addressed the defensive line despite some high-profile prospects who seem likely to sign elsewhere.
The Ducks are in line to keep at least two of the four all-American caliber recruits in the state, including five-star tight end Curtis White of Sheldon High. They also will sign a five-star recruit at running back, speedy Lache Seastrunk of Temple, Texas.
"Seastrunk's obviously the headliner," said Greg Biggins, the West Coast recruiting analyst for ESPN. "He's a great fit in that offense. He's not necessarily an every-down, 25-carry back, but he just has tremendous explosiveness. … In that spread offense, where there's holes everywhere, he's a great fit."
Seastrunk is one of two running backs from talent-rich Texas that the Ducks will sign. The other is Dontae Williams, a bigger back who played with the USA 19U national team.
Another back from Texas, Josh Huff of Houston, is one of the few unknowns for Oregon heading into today. Previously committed to Texas Christian, Huff has expressed interest in the Ducks as well, and some analysts have projected him for weeks to sign with Oregon as a receiver.
Also publicly uncommitted but seemingly destined for Eugene is safety Erick Dargan of Pittsburg, Calif. Biggins called Dargan, a four-star prospect, "kind of a done deal" for the Ducks.
"He's pretty elite," Biggins said. "I think he's really underrated. It's a great year for safeties out West, and he's up there as good as almost anybody." Click here for the complete story.

Document Type Doctoral Thesis Author Licona, Michael Ren email@example.com URN etd-04022009-190941 Document Title The historicity of the resurrection of Jesus : historiographical considerations in the light of recent debates Degree PhD Department New Testament Studies Supervisor

- Jesus

- crucifixion

Date 2009-04-18 Availability unrestricted Abstract Dale Allison refers to the historical question pertaining to Jesus' resurrection as "the prize puzzle of New Testament research." More than 2,500 journal articles and books have been written on the subject since 1975. In this dissertation, I investigate the question while providing unprecedented interaction with the literature of professional historians outside of the community of biblical scholars on both hermeneutical and methodological considerations. Chapter one is devoted to discussions pertaining to the philosophy of history and historical method, such as the extent to which the past is knowable, how historians gain a knowledge of it, the impact biases have on investigations and steps that may assist historians in minimizing their biases, the role a consensus should or should not play in historical investigations, who shoulders the burden of proof, and the point at which a historian is warranted in declaring that a historical question has been solved. I seek to determine how historians outside of the community of biblical scholars generally proceed in their investigations involving non-religious matters and establish a similar approach for proceeding in my investigation of the historicity of Jesus' resurrection. In chapter two, I address objections to the investigation of miracle-claims by historians from a number of prominent scholars. My conclusion is that their objections warrant that extra caution should be taken by historians investigating miracle claims but are ill-founded in terms of prohibiting a historical investigation of Jesus' resurrection. Historians must identify the relevant sources from which they will mine data for their investigations. In chapter three, I survey the primary literature relevant to our investigation and rate them according to their value to an investigation pertaining to Jesus' resurrection. I limit this survey to sources that mention the death and resurrection of Jesus and that were written within two hundred years of Jesus' death. I then rate each according to the likelihood that it contains data pertaining to Jesus' death and resurrection that go back to the earliest Christians, and identify the sources most promising for the present investigation. In chapter four, I mine through this most promising material and form a collection of relevant facts that are so strongly evidenced that they enjoy a heterogeneous and nearly universal consensus granting them. These comprise our historical bedrock upon which all hypotheses pertaining to Jesus' fate must be built. In chapter five, I apply the methodological considerations discussed in chapter one and weigh six hypotheses largely representative of those being offered in the beginning of the twenty-first century pertaining to the question of the resurrection of Jesus. I conclude that the hypothesis that Jesus rose from the dead is not only the best explanation of the relevant historical bedrock, it outdistances its competitors by a significant margin and meets the criteria for awarding historicity. Of course, this conclusion is provisional, since future discoveries may require its revision or abandonment. It also makes no assertions pertaining to the nature of Jesus' resurrection body nor claims to address the question of the cause of Jesus' resurrection.

So this whole summer thing is pretty okay.
I like getting to do what I want for a whole day. Alone. It's very enjoyable.
But, some days I want to hang out with a girl who I could call my girlfriend.
It's the only thing that I think about. At any given time, 60% of my brain is being used to think about girls, 20% is thinking about food, and the other 20% is thinking about all the stresses that are currently in my life.
Every time I see a movie, read a book, or listen to a great song I think how I wish I could share it with someone who would appreciate it.
I think of all the movies I want to watch with my girlfriend, all the songs I love that I could make a mix of for my girlfriend...
Now the only problem is finding said girlfriend.
I can't go to Pride in Columbus because I have some family graduation party to attend.
My sister was going to take me and it would have been fantastic.
Alas, my plans are ruined. That was pretty much my only chance to find my dream girl...
One more thing to rant about. I'm going on a family vacation this summer with the side of the family I'm not out to.
My mom told me flat out that I have to watch what I say. No comments about actresses being hot or funny jokes are being gay... I already know I shouldn't say them but still, being told not to do so is such a drag.
I wanna have fun on the trip but if I can't be myself... I dunno.
You might ask, Why not come out to that side of the family?
Well, I can't do that because if I tell them out right, it will have worse repercussions that making an under handed comment.
It's a lose lose situation for everyone involved.
Well, this ended up longer than I thought it would be.
Thanks for reading this if you got to the end. lol.
I got to the end! lol It's not that long anyways. :) OMG, I can totally relate with the imagine-sharing-with-someone thing! I do it all the time, but I usually can't find the right person to share it with :( I'm hopeful though. I'm sure you'll find that special girl too cuz you are sweet and awesome!
At the end of the day, what matters is not what you have, but who you have become.
That part didn't sound totally lame. Lol.
"I love you 1, a 2, a 3 shoobee-doo. I love you 4, that's more than I can afford. And I can tell some day that I'm gunna' say the truth. I love you 5!" - NeverShoutNever! :)
