Samsung Series 9: Get the details right
Samsung is definitely doing great things in the tech space. Their televisions are unmatched, their smartphones give the iPhone a run for its money, and their marketing is unparalleled. But now they've taken a step in the wrong direction with the Series 9. It starts with a commercial I saw a mere seven minutes ago.
The commercial went something exactly like this:
"Just when you think you have it all. Something thinner and sexier comes along to replace you. Introducing the new Samsung Series 9 with the Intel Core i5 processor. The world's thinnest 15-inch laptop. It's time for some fresh air."
Now I'm not going to lie. The commercial was well executed. Well designed and structured. Excellent voiceover and background music (what's that song?). It was just two parts that got me. One was visual, one vocal.
Strike 1: The visual problem was the comparison. When the commercial opened up,...

The Rosenwald Schools: Cadentown
Cadentown was one of approximately twenty-five African-American hamlets formed in Fayette County, Kentucky, after the Civil War. Former slaves purchased lots from developers such as Owen Caden to create their own communities. These rural hamlets were situated near the large farms on which many of the residents labored. Cadentown's development began in 1867, and by the late 1870s every lot in the community had been sold. Two churches were soon organized in Cadentown.

If this leaked info turns out to be accurate, then sometime later this year LG may leap forward and become a serious competitor in the high-end segment of the Android smartphone world. The specs on this leaked device sound like a techno-geek's "nerdgasm." The internal production name of the LG LS970 is the "Eclipse 4G LTE." This phone will supposedly come with a cutting edge chipset and more RAM than any smartphone previously. Here's a spec breakdown: The APQ8064 chipset is a 28nm 1.5 GHz Qualcomm quad-core Snapdragon S4 series Krait processor It's graphics engine will be powered by the more advanced Adreno 320 GPU It will carry a whopping 2GB of RAM! 16GB of internal storage 2100 mAh battery 4.67-inch WXGA (1280×768) LCD TFT display 13-megapixel camera 1.3-megapixel front-facing camera 4G LTE Supposedly, this device will be going to Sprint sometime in the fourth quarter of this year. The source of the leak even provided a few pictures to back up their leak. What do you guys think of this one? If it is real would you like to see it come to Verizon? Source: Android.net via BriefMobile
Loaded hardware, I don't know about LG and Android though The hardware looks great! Looks like the fastest mobile CPU/GPU out there. I do think it's time they start throwing 2GB of RAM in these so I'm glad to see that. A 2100mAH battery sounds almost generous with the 28nm CPU. I'm not sure I'd be comfortable buying an LG? I just don't know enough about their Android track record. How have they been with updates...any better than Samsung?
Whoa.....Well this will compete with the SG3. 2GB of ram is going to EAT through some battery. maybe a 4500mah extended?
I love the hardware other than the Screen. I hate LCD and really love AMOLED, I don't know why the phone companies don't pick up that AMOLED is the screen most want. The 13mp Camera, Processor, GPU, 2GB of Ram, good size Battery are really good compared to allot of the new phones coming out. Although I wish they would speed up on putting new Tech. in. It could have more GB of Ram, Larger Battery, Higher mp Camera, and a Better screen, Just wish they would bring out the best tech. in the phones instead of slowly upgrading the phones like Apple does.:blink:
Chances of Verizon getting this in a timely manner? 000000000000 Sent from my DROID BIONIC using the Droid Forums App
Awesome Specs! I think that this is truly showing how quickly mobile technology is developing; we've had quad-core CPU's for computers for what, 5 years or so (and hex-core CPU's for 3.5-4?), but with Android phones we have gone from single-core to dual-core to quad-core in what seems like a flash! I consider the Motorola Droid the "first true modern Android phone", and yet in comparison to this new LG, it looks like a circa-2005 Gateway desktop sitting next to a custom-built Intel 3960X 6-Core CPU/32GB DDR3-2133/Nvidia GTX680 equipped monster! I think quad-core is absolutely the future, although I believe that the Tegra3 has the best "idea" in having the 5th "little core" to control things such as battery life and other functions that are not based on user input. With AMD and Intel focusing more and more on integrated CPU/GPU SOC's, particularly AMD with it's new Trinity "APU" (which evolved from Llano) although Intel's Ivy Bridge's HD4000 Integrated GPU is no longer a bad joke, it is only a matter of time before we see truly laptop-equivalent processing power without the laptop battery requirements make its way into our phones... 2GB of low-voltage DDR3 SDRAM is an excellent step forward, perhaps the best single one of this phone. As an owner of a Samsung Galaxy Nexus (1.2Ghz dual-core, 1GB DDR3 SDRAM, 32GB On-Board Storage), there are PLENTY of times I wish for more system memory; and now, with DDR3 chip prices so low ($1 for a 2Gb chip, approximately), it makes a lot of sense to start integrating larger amounts of working memory into these phones. Quad-Core Processors have the potential to use huge memory buses, and due to the small form factor, phones come equipped with SOC's that contain full GPU's, some of which are multi-core themselves. These GPU's utilize system memory as it would likely be cost-prohibitive to use the more-expensive yet vastly better-performing GDDR5 for dedicated video RAM. Open up the bus lanes, 256bit bi-directional, and multiply the channels so that we are getting dual channel or even quad-channel RAM over an extremely wide bus feeding both the CPU and GPU, and those pesky "Force Close" and "xxx is Not Responding" pop-ups resulting from oversaturated memory would be a thing of the past! Lastly, a 13MP camera is quite nice (although I think Nokia still holds the crown, lol), but whenever I see such high numbers on anything other than a dedicated DSLR camera, it makes me worry that the manufacturer is using a high MP count to compensate for subpar or straight up terrible image sensors... The fact is, 13MP is more than most people would ever need, especially from a cell phone as I don't know anyone who makes poster-size printouts of photos taken with their camera phone (and I do a TON of HD Video/Image and Uncompressed Audio editing). A camera on your phone is nice for those "spur-of-the-moment" photographs, when you can't carry a full-size camera, or even when you've forgotten your camera; however, it simply cannot replace a real camera. The absolute top-of-the-line camera on a phone is still vastly inferior to even an "entry-level" DSLR and looks like a pin-hole camera compared to a top-end EOS or equivalent. I have taken the exact same photo with each camera phone that either I or a family member has (Galaxy Nexus, Moto Droid 1, Droid X2, Galaxy S II, HTC Incredible 2, LG Ally, and about 6 others... also, an iPhone 4S) with all ranging from 3-9MP image size and then took the exact same photo with a Nikon D3000 DSLR camera (with a Nikkor 35-100 "standard" lens), a middle-level DSLR that stands above the entry-level but also can't compare to the flagship lines from any given manufacturer. All settings were kept the same as much as was possible (most phones don't allow automatic ISO setting, but it's easy to get an idea when you see the photo), the subject was a landscape with no noticeable movement, and all phones were set to output the photo in their highest-quality mode (either designated via MP or by "good, better, best"); oh, and flash was kept off and cameras were allowed 30s to focus while resting on a mount while the Nikon was manually focused to one point with no software/hardware alterations made to compensate for focus/balance/contrast/etc. The camera was set at an ISO of 400, and it also output to its native format but also output a lower quality format at the same time (RAW + JPEG), and both were used to help identify where the phone's were compressing data compared to the camera. Using the same 30" (current-gen)-IPS 2560x1600 monitor (2.07billion colors, custom-calibrated to be within 99.99998% color accuracy per pixel) that I normally use for HD video and photo editing, I compared the image quality output of each phone. Tools used included Photoshop Professional, Corel, Premiere, and a half-dozen professional-level programs. The results: Camera phones have, on average, 32-34% of the image quality of a medium-quality DSLR. Focus on camera phones is poor, they lack a strong sense of depth, color accuracy was for the most part significantly off of the Adobe RGB standard to which all were set to comply, contrast was very poor with lighting playing perhaps the biggest role in photo quality, and they could only be edited so much. Best Quality Compared to DSLR by MP-Range: 4.5-6MP was the "sweet spot", with the phones in this arena ranging from 33% of the DSLR all the way up to 68%! The Galaxy Nexus stands out, and surprisingly so, except that its color balance is not strong. Otherwise, the best photography phone is probably the Galaxy S II... The iPhone had the 2nd worst camera with grainy, blurry images that lacked any focus or detail. IMPROVE THE CAMERAS!

Death must be pronounced in an official and timely way by an authorized person (such as a doctor or nurse), and the cause and circumstances of death must be certified. Fulfilling these requirements varies substantially in different parts of the United States. If a person plans to die at home, the family should know ahead of time what to expect and what to do. When a person has hospice care, the hospice nurse typically explains the protocol. If police or other public officials must be called, the family should know this and the officials should be notified in advance that the person is dying at home. Hospice and home care programs often have routines for notifying officials that spare the family uncomfortable encounters. If no hospice or home care agency is involved, the family should contact the medical examiner or funeral home director, preferably before death occurs, to learn what to expect. A death certificate is necessary for making insurance claims, getting access to financial accounts, conveying property titled to the deceased, and settling the estate, so the family often needs at least a few dozen copies.
The family may be reluctant to ask for or approve an autopsy, which, if requested, is often not paid for by insurance. Although it does not help the deceased, an autopsy may help advance knowledge about the diseases contributing to death and can help family members clear up any uncertainties about what caused death. After the autopsy, the body can be prepared by the funeral home or family for burial or cremation. Incisions made during the autopsy are hidden by clothing. Decisions about autopsy are usually best made before death because that is usually a less stressful time than immediately after death.
Prearranging and even prepaying for funeral services can be very helpful to the family, as can knowing the dying person's preferences for the handling of the body after death. The options can range from burial to cremation to donating the body to research. Many families have a funeral or some gathering to honor the memory of the loved one. Some choose to have a funeral service soon after the person has died, whereas others choose to have a planned memorial service a few weeks or even months later.
Getting on with life after a loved one has died depends on the nature of the relationship with the deceased, the age of the deceased, experiences near the time of the loved one's death, and the emotional and financial resources available. Also, the family often needs to examine whether they did what was expected of them and to seek reassurance. Having a talk with the doctor a few weeks after the death can help answer lingering questions. Most people who have lost a close family member experience at least 6 months of grief, which can involve disbelief, anger, depression, loneliness, disorientation, and yearning. Grief abates with time, but a sense of loss persists. People do not "get over" a death as much as they make sense of it and go on with life.

Product description
A beautifully written, unforgettable novel of a troubled marriage, set against the lush landscape and political turmoil of Trinidad Monique Roffey's Orange Prize-shortlisted novel is a gripping portrait of postcolonialism that stands among great works by Caribbean writers like Jamaica Kincaid and Andrea Levy. When George and Sabine Harwood arrive in Trinidad from England, George is immediately seduced by the beguiling island, while Sabine feels isolated, heat-fatigued, and ill-at-ease. As they adapt to new circumstances, their marriage endures for better or worse, despite growing political unrest and racial tensions that affect their daily lives. But when George finds a cache of letters that Sabine has hidden from him, the discovery sets off a devastating series of consequences as other secrets begin to emerge.

Customer reviews
By markon 20 Apr 2012
The white woman on the green bicycle by Monique Roffey was an intriguing read set in Trinidad. Wish my head wasn't so stufffed up so I could think more clearly about the structure and voice of this novel.
Sabine is the white woman on the green bicycle, and it's her voice that comes through most clearly. She and her husband George come to Trinidad in 1957 from England (George is British, Sabine is French).
The novel covers the handover of Trinidad from a British protectorate to an independent state, and also covers the life of George's & Sabine's marriage. George & Sabine come to Trinidad for a temporary 3-year posting that turns into a much longer stay. George is happy in Trinidad, Sabine is not.
However, the first third of the book takes place in 2006, and begins with the thorough and intentional beating of the adult child of one of George's & Sabine's employees by the police, and George's & Sabine's inability to do anything constructive about the incident, let alone the police and governmental corruption endemic in Trinidad.
Part love story (George & Sabine, George and Trinidad, Sabine & PM), some insight into power and politics. This is a story of the immigration of white Europeans into a majority black Caribbean nation.
Review quote
"Engaging. . . . A firebomb of a book, revealing a slowly disintegrating marriage, a country betrayed and a searing racism that erupts in terrible violence. . . . This is a stunning book, and its depiction of an aspect of Caribbean life is well worth contemplating." -"The Cleveland Plain Dealer" "Roffey's explorations of longtime marriages, race, and the lingering effects of colonialism are insightful and often painful to read. . . . The true main character in this novel is Trinidad itself: its people, its customs, and its contradictions." -Nancy Pearl, "National Public Radio" "Few novels capture the postcolonial culture with such searing honesty as this Caribbean story told through the alternating viewpoints of a white British couple over the last 50 years. . . . The pitch-perfect voices capture the colonials' racism and sense of entitlement." -"Booklist" "A rich and highly engaging novel." -"The Guardian" "Roffey's evocation ofo

Cast Iron Korean BBQ Plate
Fun tabletop cooking!
I tried this product to cook Ssamgyeopsal (Korean Grilled Pork Belly) with great results. Solid construction (as in "heavy") and great price (cheaper than same types sold online) made it an automatic "see it-buy it" for me. Great for cooking on the table top, picnics, and camping (it needs a portable stove though). The only downsides are the clean up (you'll need a stiff bristled brush to clean up stuck bits of food between the grooves, but it should get better release the more its used), and it might be too specialized (a same-sized grill pan will do its job, with more room to cook with). Unless you eat/cook Korean food on a regular basis, or simply just like the aesthetics, I don't see it replacing the pans you have in your house right now.

A lot vs. Alot: 9 Grammatical Pitfalls
(from Latin post-moerium, "behind the wall"), in ancient Rome, a sacred open space located just inside the wall surrounding the four hills-the Esquiline, the Palatine, the Quirinal, and the Capitoline-of the early city. In most Italian walled cities, such spaces, which ran along the complete length of the city walls, were originally left clear to facilitate the maneuvering of defenders in times of attack. This space was later invested with religious significance, being dedicated to the gods in gratitude for their protection, and building and planting upon it remained forbidden. Rome rapidly expanded beyond its pomerium, but the legendary date of its demarcation-April 21-continued to be celebrated as the anniversary of the city's foundation

The Nintendo Wii U has sold around 40,000 units in its first two days of release in the UK despite none of the release games making it into the top 10 of the UK games chart
Wii U sells 40,000 in the UK
You need Javascript to play this video.
Nintendo Wii UWii U sales have reportedly reached 40,000 units in the UK, meaning that Nintendo's console has effectively sold out in its first two days of release. Gaming industry magazine MCV says retail sources have suggested that, while Wii U units may still be available, "abundant supplies" are not expected until the New Year. Due to retail units arriving at retailers "at a trickle" its estimated the Wii U could have racked up even more impressive sales figures, had more been available for sale. MCV goes on to say that, according to feedback from retailers and data about software sales passed on by trade sources, it estimates that two games were sold for every console. The UK is the second region in which Nintendo's new console has recorded a sell-out. Last week it posted sales of around 400,000 units in the USA in its first week of release. Even bigger sales are expected when the Wii U goes on sale in Japan. In spite of the strong sales in the UK, however, none of the Wii U's launch titles managed to crack the top 10 of the UK games sales chart. The highest-selling title for the console so far is Nintendoland, which is currently placed 11th in the chart. Source:MCV |

I have watched Anita Sarkeesian's latest offering. Episode one of "Tropes vs Women" entitled Damsils in distress. At some point I plan to make a video to go into further details on all that is wrong with her position on how women are used far too often as objects to be possessed or claimed. that they can often times be reduced things to be passed between two males fighting over her like a piece of meat. what's her arguments? in short she goes after donkey Kong and ends with super mario and princess peach.
she ignores details when they don't fit her message and she doesn't even bother to learn about the characters because... you know...facts and shit. she says peach is like a ball being passed between mario and bowser. first off if anyone is reducing peach down to an object it's....Anita herself. she starts off talking about the bad and slightly sexist trope of women being kidnapped and men having to bravely come to her rescue as a form of sexual conquest. that the man can claim his "woman" as a prize...a sexual prize. but mario isn't doing this for anything more then he feels a sense of justice in risking his life for a woman he doesn't get to fuck and certainly doesn't get to kiss. he gets fucking cake for all his efforts. and that's good enough for him. oh but we cannot see marios work as being noble no no...he's being a sexist pig by going after a princess who is somehow unable to rescue herself.
never mind luigi's mansion (which has a sequel coming out later this month) in which mario himself is depowered and taken prisoner. luigi himself is almost taken too. oh but we can't let a little game like that ....or mario's missing on the nes as nitnendo bucking the trend no no. Because miss Anita moves the goal posts by insisting that these games (which she didn't show on her show btw) aren't part of the "main" mario series and so they don't count. and she doesn't even touch much on mario sunshine (er or at all) so that she can say that fans only focus on the main mario series and thus it's wrong.
what about Resident evil code name veronica. sure a man opens up claires sell but I hardly call that him saving her. he dies in the jail alone and figures he'll let her at least have a chance to escape on her own. most of the men who may help her ususally end up mutated and she often has to try to kill them. this almost the same trope in reverse and anita doesn't care. or what abour resident evil Zero...rebecca chambers doesn't exactly seem helpless. or I'll go one further and speak about resident fucking evil 3:Nemisis....oh wait but that's a bad example because jills dressed as a whore.right Anita???
she brings up Zelda too. she says all games depower zelda thought she speaks of sheik she mentions in passing that Zelda can be a side kick now and again showing concept art of Zelda spirit tracks without actually talking about the game. zelda is powerful...in the game she can be even more powerful by inhabiting the bodies of enemies and helping link along the way. the fucking series is named after Zelda for fuck sakes. and she never talks about the Zelda cd-i game where Zelda was the only playable character and is considered one of the best of the CD-I zelda titles. oh but you know....facts and shit.
by days end you start to see my point. she omits facts that don't fit her narrative. she moves goal posts when it does fit her narriative. or she only briefly brings up games that could be damaging to her cause and missrepresents them to suit her own needs. and don't even get me started on the fact that her comments,ratings,like dislikes are all disabled. she will claim it's because she gets rape/death threats but it has nothing to do with that. if this series is about engaging the internet on a wide raging of topics then this isn't the way to do it. and it also sends the message that her talking points don't stand up to scrutiny. she isn't interested in defending herself. she is interested inperpetuating the "i'm a victim" stereotype while acting like shes a "stong independant woman."
that doesn't mean I support abusing her or the rape threats or the insecure bullshit that a lot of men have thrown her way because they are scared she will break down their doors and take their precious games away. being mysogenistic for the sake of being mysogenistic is never okay....not that being a whiney entitled dick for the cause of man is okay either but some people take this shit way too far and take it way too seriously. Anita does tedx talks but she is a scared scared little girl who would crumble in open debate and cry victimhood to try to win her arguments because she really doesn't care. she herself is self absorbed,self interested and doesn't really care at all about womens rights. Despite the monicure of "Feminist" in the title of her shows she actually doesn't associate with Feminists and doesn't like the cause as she sees it. which makes the title of her show rather disengenious to say the least.
she won't take our games away. she won't change our games either. and for the record I do agree with equality and equal represntation in gaming but Anita is not the hero we all need for that. she isn't even an anti-hero. she's a petty woman who cares more about video games then she does t.v.,magazines and books because....videogames. and when she trotted out that picture of herself as kid holding a controller in her hand as if to say "I'm a gamer too." I almost punched my T.V. she gives girl gamers a bad name.
and yet I find it funny. my friends who post a critique of her video without actually talking any smack against anita are finding themselves being attacked by rad feminists who only read the title and then claim that men are being men and men are bad cause they are attacking anita. because anyone who dares speak out against her is a whiney insecure white male who likely has a small penis and lives in his mothers basement (no really this is considered an valid ad homenem attack on any decenters)
if this post offends you. if you feel that Anita is the jesus of your cause in gaming then I suggest you take a deep breath and grow up.

A lot vs. Alot: 9 Grammatical Pitfalls
1753, theatrical jargon word for lady's maid characters in plays and operas, who typically were pert, flirtatious, and intriguing, from French, from Provençal soubreto "affected, conceited," fem. of soubret "coy, reserved," from soubra "to set aside," originally "to exceed," from Old Provençal sobrar, from Latin superare "to rise above, overcome," from super "over, above, beyond" (see super-).
in theatre, comic female character usually in the role of a chambermaid. The soubrette role originated in French comedy, one of the earliest examples being Suzanne in Pierre-Augustin de Beaumarchais' Le Mariage de Figaro (1784). Still earlier, Moliere's plays Tartuffe (1664) and Le Bourgeois gentilhomme (1670) contained versions of the character in the roles of Dorine and Nicole

Feasibility studies can have real impact
Four years ago this month, the city's code compliance division backed off its threat to demolish the Hedrick Building, the 10-story eyesore at Martin and St. Mary's streets. It was never proven, but the prevalent theory at the time was that the city never intended to raze the historic building. The move, in theory, actually was a feint meant to get the property owner to take action on the 1928-structure, which now has sat unused for at least two decades.

"Because of you ... and the work those of you in uniform have done, we are now able to end this war," said Biden. "We learned in over eight years in Iraq that this country's independent spirit is stitched into its national fabric.... The Iraqi people have not and will not yield again to any kind of external domination."
Biden said the foundation had been laid for an Iraq that, "against all odds, can serve as a source of stability not only for its people, but here in the region, and for year to come."
Biden added that "it's fair to say, almost no one thought that was possible a few years ago."
Home by Christmas?
The remaining 13,800 US troops in Iraq are exiting in coming weeks, and all will depart the seven remaining bases – down from a high of some 171,000 troops on 500 bases – by an end-of-year deadline.
Even as officials sought to close this chapter, reminders of the dangers facing Iraq were clear: 18 people were killed in Diyala Province today, most victims of a car bomb.
Mr. Talabani, a pro-US Kurdish politician, thanked American forces as "friends" who changed history for the better, and far beyond Iraq's borders. He sought to cast the US role in Iraq as a critical forerunner to the people-power Arab Spring revolutions that have so far this year toppled three dictatorial regimes, in Tunisia, Egypt and Libya.

Check out this article from Ars Technica about a new HTML element that will make browsing the web much faster.
It's a great story of how a small group of developers (at the Boston Globe) engaged a broader community of developers and then some established institutions (as well a crowd funded campaign) to solve the problem of slow loading responsively design websites.
Here is how it works:
When the browser encounters a Picture element, it first evaluates any rules that the Web developer might specify. (Opera's developer site has a good article on all the possibilities Picture offers.) Then, after evaluating the various rules, the browser picks the best image based on its own criteria. This is another nice feature since the browser's criteria can include your settings. For example, future browsers might offer an option to stop high-res images from loading over 3G, regardless of what any Picture element on the page might say. Once the browser knows which image is the best choice, it actually loads and displays that image in a good old img element.

Speakers will present "promising ideas about what next-generation systems could look like in the coming years by incorporating technological innovations in the R&D pipeline as well as new business models to overcome the traditional institutional barriers around data use."
Manav introduced me to this paper on the Chinese Restaurant Process (CRP) in the context of recommendation of learning resources across multiple EdLab resources:

The rules of love, as told by an Iranian cleric
Cleric Hossein Dehnavi's comparisons of lovemaking in marriage to jihad have ensured that religious bookshops sell out of their stock of the new DVD every afternoon.
Afshin Valinejad
"Love" may be one of the most heavily used words in Persian literature. Famous poets Rumi, Hafez, and Sa'adi obsessed about "eshq" centuries ago, though their words most often referred to divine and spiritual emotions.
Discussion of physical love was another matter. As in many cultures, it was long a taboo subject, and the advent of Iran's 1979 Islamic revolution did little to change that. The trend for decades has, in fact, been evident in annual police crackdowns that target women showing too much hair, or boy-girl handholding in the streets.
So it might be a surprise that one of the hottest-selling DVDs in Tehran – at least at souvenir stores that cater for Shiite religious pilgrims to the Shah Abdol-Azim shrine, south of the capital – is one that seems to encourage something of a sexual revolution, Shiite-style.
Advertising posters proclaim, "The Art of Making Love," and show cleric Hossein Dehnavi looking like any other young seminary-trained holy man in Iran, bespectacled and bearded, wearing a turban and religious robes.
Yet Mr. Dehnavi's comparisons of lovemaking to jihad have ensured that, since its release in late May, religious bookshops here run out of their new stock of DVDs every afternoon.
The video is of a theological speech that Dehnavi gave during a seminar, to a gathering of newlyweds and others, in the shrine city of Mashhad in northeast Iran. It is called: "Improving the Skill of Making Love: The Peace and Pleasure in Matrimonial Life."
In a nation where sexual dissatisfaction ranks as one reason for a high rate of divorce, even guidance from a cleric appears welcome to some.
"According to our religion, eshqbazi [lovemaking] is a form of worship," says Dehnavi in the video.

A gifted unicorn who lives in Ponyville. She is the faithful student of the ruler of Equestria, Princess Celestia. She is very studious and tends to be analytical in solving problems. She has difficulties with making new friends. She is able to perform a wide variety of magic.
Alright, bare with me on this. Twilight would be an odd pick in the roster, mostly because of the way she fights. She would be seen with a book of spells floating by her side. She performs most of her attacks with the book and rarely does physical attacks. Because she has untapped potential, some of her direct moves would be really strong, and could be on par with Ganondorf's moves.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
A Horn Shot
- Twilight's horn will glow a fire a single magic flame that travels across the stage in a straight lines
Side A Short Shot
- Twilight will fire a single magic flame from her book. It's slower than the Horn Shot.
Up A Jump
- Twilight will jump once in place and hit anyone who crosses her path.
Down A Page Spark
- Twilight will sit down with her book open as if she were reading it. The book will release several sparks of magic.
Dash A Unicorn Horn
- When Twilight runs, Her horn will glow with magic and shock her opponent.
Side Smash Back Kick
- No matter what direction she is facing, Twlight will turn around and perform a strong kick with her rear legs.
Up Smash Arc Swipe
- Twilight's magically charged book will open above her body and release a strong burst of energy.
Down Smash Burst Swirl
- Twilight's magically charged book will encircle her body several times, hitting anyone who gets in the way.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Air A Stretch
- Raises and stretches out her hind and rear legs
Air Front A Page Punch
- Performs a lowercut punch with her book
Air Back A Page Swing
- The book dashes in a rainbow arc over Twlight
Air Up A Page Arc
- The book dashes in a upside down rainbow arc undr Twilight
Air Down A Hoof Jab
- Thrusts her four limbs downward
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Standard Special Burst Beam
- This move is a cross between the Wario Waft and the Zero Laser. The first time it's used, Twlight will release a small blast of magic from her book. The attack becomes much stronger the longer you go without using it. When Twilight starts blinking, that means the attack is fully charged. When the button is pressed, her book will unleash a great beam of magic that shoots right across the stage. The trick is to be patient.
Side Special Paper Cut
- Basically, Twilight will telekinetically hit people with her book as if the book were a sword. It also has the same function as Marth's Dancing Blade.
Up Special Teleportation
- Twilight will vanish into a thin air and will re-appear a small distance from her original spot. The functions of this move are reminiscent of those of Pikachu's Quick Attack.
Down Special Shield
- Conjures a shield in front of Twilight. This shield will only last for three seconds. If anyone physically attacks this shield, the shield will react and release small sparks of energy. Projectiles will bounce off the shield
Final Smash Element of Magic
- This move is a cross between the Elements of Harmony and Twilight's "Jean Grey" moment. When Twilight grabs the Smash Ball and activates her Final Smash, she'll gain a pair of Pegasus wings, her golden tiara, and an aura of invincibility. As you control flying across the stage, she'll leave behind a rainbow streak, which will damage anyone who touches it. When the Final Smash ends, she'll release a strong burst of magic and sends anyone close to it flying back.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Grab Magic Hand
- A magical hand forms around the book and grabs the nearest opponent.
Pummel Shock
- Shocks the opponent with magical energy
Front Throw Head-butt
- The hand holds the opponent like a football about to be punted, leaving Twilight free to head-butt the football!
Back Throw Toss Away
- The hand throws the opponent behind Twilight
Up Throw Upper Punch
- The hand will throw the opponent into the air. Then the book will open and release several shots of magical energy.
Down Throw Fist Smash
- The hand drops the opponent, forms into a fist, and basically slams onto the opponent.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
- - - Snake Codec Conversation - - -
Snake: Colonel! Is that horse reading a book?
Colonel: She's a pony, Snake. Her name is Twilight Sparkle.
Snake: A . . . pony? Twilight Sparkle? Are you serious?
Colonel: Absolutely. She's Princess Celestia's prized student and her magic is extremely dangerous.
Snake: Wait a minute. How dangerous are we talking?
Colonel: Twilight has untapped magic powers. It could emerge at any time, and when does, she's unable to control it.
Snake: You mean . . . like when a machine overloads?
Colonel: Exactly. She's learning to tame her powers through focused study. My guess is that being here is part of her training.
Snake: Yeah, but why here? I mean, she's not from a video game.
Colonel: You would be surprised at the fanbase she has. You should watch her in her world some time. You might become a brony yourself.
Snake: A . . . brony? Huh. I'll be the judge of that.

I agree with Sun City residents and letter writers Tom and Maryann White. U.S. 521 is a mess, not only in Indian Land, but the entire four lane from the Lancaster city limits to the North Carolina state line needs improvement. I recall the highway signs from the past that read, "See the best state on the best roads." Maybe an earlier version, "The Iodine State," would be more appropriate.
Is his name Vince Lambardi, Bear Bryant or maybe Dale Earnhardt? He's not a famous football coach or seven-time NASCAR champion. No, his name is Barry Faile, sheriff of Lancaster County. I have heard people say "there goes Lancaster's finest" in a sarcastic tone when a deputy rode by, followed with a whisper, "what a joke – they're nothing." It looks like the joke is on us. Just as it takes a well-oiled team to accomplish what the three men above accomplished. They are known as the best of the best.
When our country was young, the British and the Europeans kept coming, pushing to the west. On Sunday, they rested from work and gathered at church. They remembered the Sabbath Day. In Charlotte, the owners of Ivey's Store pulled the shades down and you couldn't window shop on Sundays. It's a shame restaurant owners think they can't make it without alcohol sales. I don't think alcohol should be the drawing card for the restaurants.
It is a heart-warming ending for the emaciated German shepherd that was cruelly pulled behind a vehicle. The Lancaster Humane Society embraced this boy and got him medical treatment and into a loving foster home. He will be treated for heartworms when he is strong enough. The outpouring of concern from folks shows how many animal lovers there are in Lancaster County. But the real picture is not so bright.
I believe the lyrics from John Lennon, "So this is Christmas," is an appropriate way to start this letter. It is Christmas all over the world. As I acknowledge this, I cannot help but wonder which country and who are the people who keep and honor Christmas in the most fitting way. Is it the United States? Is it the fact that we have 9 percent unemployment; due in part to the fact that so, so many of our Christmas gifts come from other countries?
The meaning of Christmas is Christ. What would this world have been without that precious baby who was born in a manger? He parted the waters, made water into wine, the blind to see, the cripple to walk and fed multitudes. Most of all he died for you and me. His name is Jesus – the greatest gift of all.
Carl Miles Lancaster
Ann Coulter said it best in her column, "Once you go conservative black, you'd better watch your back." What she means by this is the frenzy of coverage that Herman Cain has gotten for those so-called sexual harassment allegations. First off, there is not one shred of evidence brought forward so far against Mr. Cain. The credibility of these women is very suspect.
Editor's note: Tom and Maryanne White sent the following letter and photos to the Lancaster Maintenance Office of the S.C. Department of Transportation regarding the upkeep of U.S. 521 in Indian Land. The letter was sent in early November and, within days, the grass was mowed.
Every football fan in America knows that it is virtually impossible to win two state football championships in consecutive years. This is especially true in the competitive North Carolina AAA championship contest. However, former Lancaster High School coach Johnny Roscoe's Northern Guilford Nighthawks accomplished this impossible task by defeating Shelby Crest High School by a score of 31 to 7 at the University of North Carolina's Kenan Stadium.
I applaud the courage and determination of Dustin Owens, who met with Lancaster City Council to request its consideration of a facility for a skating center for the young people in the community. He used the proper procedure to voice the issue to council and presented the issue in a dignified and informed manner. He stated the reasons this issue should be given consideration by council members and also offered a solution to accept his idea. It might be a possibility this young man has a future in politics.

>> Part 11 coming November 3rd
]]>Here at TGE we're really excited about I'll Be Right Back. The new theatre company features several amazingly talented actors we've worked with on productions of Gabriel Cushing: David Curtis, who plays Gabriel himself, and Serena Chloe Gardener and Kate Danbury who both feature in our most recent production, Gabriel Cushing at the Carnival of Sorrows (Coming 2015).
Faustus is a dark, brooding re-imagining of Christopher Marlowe's classic tale of demons and sin. Set in a corporate office, rife with ambition and back stabbing, the play takes a new look at the meaning of repentance.
I'll be right back are currently raising funds for the performance which will début at the Etcetera Theatre in Camden on 29th, 30th and 31st October as part of the London Horror Festival 2014. You can support them on Kickstarter and choose from rewards including a download or DVD of the performance video and tickets to a special, intimate, dedicated performance, complete with goodie bag and a chance to meet the cast and crew.
Tickets to the main festival performances are available from the London Horror Festival website.
>> Part 9 coming September 1st
]]>Over the course of the next few weeks, we hope to bring you regular news on our progress, behind-the-scenes updates from the shoot, and much more – many of these will be exclusive to our Kickstarter backers so, if you backed us, make sure you check out our Kickstarter page as well!
Once again, thanks to everyone who supported this production. We hope to make you proud.
Mark, Felek, Rich, Chrissey, Ben, and the rest of the team.
Between September and March, we ran three full casting calls, one recall session and a few one-on-one casting sessions. Thanks to everyone who applied for a role, but in the end we only had a certain number of roles to fill – so congratulations to all! (If you are a Kickstarter backer, check out the updates on the Carnival of Sorrows page for more details about the castings!)
There have been several rewrites to the script since the Kickstarter began all those months ago, including a beautiful day in August where the entire script was taken to pieces, inspected and rebuilt to make sure we had a script better than anything we've ever had before. Honestly, everyone loves it and we hope we can do a good job to convert this passion to the screen.
A huge amount of planning has been happening behind the scenes, with shot lists, breakdowns, storyboards contracts, insurance paperwork, receipts and endless department plans raining down on us like the British weather.
To say this is the most complex production we've ever done is an understatement – this really is the biggest shoot we have ever done!
We've also acquired several new crew members (including several new faces to our make-up, sound, and production departments)! Sadly, some previously engaged people have found themselves unavailable, but luckily we've managed to work around the issues faced and come out the other side bright and smiling!
We've scouted, located, locked-in and bolted shut many of the locations required for the shoot, with a small number of locations for later in the shoot still to get.
As we said at the start, we actually began filming this week! Last Monday provided 2 and a half scenes completed – strangely, due to the way production has panned out, the first scene filmed was actually the last scene in the film.
We hope to be bringing you regular updates from the set along with behind-the-scenes photos (avoiding spoilers, of course!), inside news, cast and crew updates, and much more … but only for backers! Everyone else – you'll get less frequent updates, but we'll keep you updated on exciting news too big to hide!
So stay tuned for more from the Carnival of Sorrows!
]]>>> Part 7 coming 7th July
]]>Halloween is a busy night for a monster hunter. I'm Mandy, the one the children call on to take care of the monsters under the bed or in the wardrobe. I don't get to take the night off. Even these subdued suburban avenues I'm walking along could hide something behind their walls and bushes as the light begins to fade. But, my duties for the next few hours are probably not what you'd expect.
You see, the creatures I hunt don't care whether it's the witching hour or the planets are aligned. They creep and scare and snack because that's what they do. Or they would if not for me. No, I'm the chaperone tonight. Who better to entrust the little monsters to as they knock on strangers' doors and wait expectantly after their chorus of "trick or treat?"
Even, perhaps especially, a monster hunter can see the need to be a monster every once and a while. And of course there are the sweets. The story goes that Mandy the monster hunter likes her sweets, especially the jellies. I'm more than happy to play along when they dole out one or two of the bestest treasures from their haul for the honour of spending Halloween night with a real life monster hunter.
So, here I am at 6pm to collect my troupe of little monsters. At the street with the older houses that ends with an old creaky gate at the edge of the woods. It's just dark enough to create shadows to hide in but not so late that a knock-knock on the door could wake someone from their bed.
"Hello, little ones," I say, stepping out to give them a little scare which they share excitedly like a rude joke.
They touch my armour. It's the one night I can wear it outside of the shadows. It has a warm, wet sheen even in the half-light. Each piece conjuring up a battle with some imagined beast in impressionable minds.
The littlest little monster, with a shaggy mop of lupine hair, is the most excited of all. His squeals and chatter distinct among the noises of excitement and anticipation. I'll have to keep a special eye on him. Even with adult supervision, a little monster needs to have his thinking head on, on a night like this.
"Is everyone ready?" I ask to noises of approval. "We'll try this house first. I think they had good treats last year."
Little monsters either side of me take my hands. The others follow close behind. "And, if not, we'll give them a scare," I add, lowering my head to they can see the fun in my eyes. "Because, tonight's the night when it's ok to be scary."
We walk to the first door. A house with a pumpkin glowing in its window and a fluttering paper witch hanging from the porch.
They shift and fidget as they wait, hoping for treats or the opportunity to trick. To them I'm sure it seems like an age until the door, stained the colour of caramel, opens a crack. And then fully.
The lady smiles when she sees my horrible charges.
"What have we here?" she asks; pretend fear in her voice like a chuckle. They stand still as if waiting for her to take a photograph as she dutifully inspects them through her bifocals. "How scary you all are."
Their chests swell with pride when we are told we are the "scariest and cutest, little monsters that have called this Halloween". Bags filled with treats we turn and walk down the path, taking care to close the gate, before moving on to our next willing victim.
On the fifth house, perhaps the sixth, the littlest little monster that I have my special eye on diverts from my pack. It only takes a few steps to catch up with him – his bag of treats is almost as big as he is.
I crouch down and give him my serious face. "No running away. That was the deal, little guy. A little monster can get into big trouble out on his own on Halloween."Come on now, we can call at a few more houses before its time to go home."
A few more stops and our trick or treating is done for another year. Two hours well spent and filled with sweets and scares.
A short walk and we're back at the spot where I picked them up. The place where the avenue ends and the woods begin. Where the creaky gate is blamed for "did you hear that?" At the edge,the barley sugar glow of street lights turns into shifting shadow between the trees.
My infant charges discard the disguises that masked their scaled skin and extra eyes and dripping fangs. All traces of rosy cheeks and freckled brows and new tooth smiles dropped with sweet wrappers on the damp ground.
They come to me to say goodbye. To take one last look and make a silent promise to be good little monsters. No scares, no chills, no making people scream.
My littlest little monster runs back. I'm tense for a second, but relax when his hairy hand reaches into his bag of sweets. He offers me a jelly spider. A smile on his face shows glimpses of teeth already as sharp as knives.
I take the offered treat from a hand that in a few years could swallow mine and return his smile.
"Thank you, little monster," I say. "Tell your parents you were very well behaved. I hope to see you again next year."
He watches me pop the sweet in my mouth. Then he joins the others as they scuttle, skulk and flap to their parents beneath stones, in caves and other dark places.
October 31st. All Hallow's Eve. The one night of year when Mandy the monster hunter says it is ok, expected even, for the young to be little monsters. To scare and chill and make people scream.

I live in South Louisiana, and in between washes I get a great deal of mosquitos and other critters impaled on the front of my Tacoma....
What do you guys use to remove them? Once they are softened up, it is a hell of alot easier to get them off.
What is the best product or technique to get them off and is there something that I can apply, besides paste wax, to keep them from sticking so much?

Russia x Reader
.:Love Sick:.
You sneezed several times in a row before you could reach for a tissue.
Your friend Ivan was helping you out today since you were sick.
He handed you a couple of tissues.
"You are okay, da?" He said, a thick Russian accent coaxing his voice.
You nodded and blew your nose, making a loud 'horn' sound.
Your head was killing you, your throat felt like you had swallowed broke glass.
All you wanted to do was go into hibernation for as long as your body would let you.
Of course, that would be impossible because humans can't hibernate.
So for now you were stuck in your house, letting your friend take care of you as if you were a
Althought on the inside, you didn't necessarily mind having his company.
Infact, you really enjoyed it!
You'd never tell anyone this, but you cared deeply for your Russian friend.
Most people thought he was scary or creepy, but you saw nothing but sweetness when you
looked at him.
That cute smile he always had on made you want to smile along with him.
It made you sad when you found out how utterly lonely he really was.
He feared that everyone around him would leave him, something you feared FOR him.
But you knew he'd never be alone, because you'd always be by his side.
Whether that'd be as his friend...or possibly more.
Not that he'd ever like you back.
You yawned quietly and stretched out your arms.
"Tired?" He asked.
You simply nodded as you rubbed your eyes.
"Alright, I'll be downstairs if you need me" He said, starting his way out of the bedroom.
But you had something else in mind.
"I-Ivan...." You called out weakly.
He turned to you "Da?"
You blushed slightly, not from the cold, but from embarrassment.
"C-could you stay h-here?" You asked shyly.
It was his turn to blush, his cheeks tinging with a light pink.
"Of course sunflower"
You scooted over so that way he may climb in beside you.
He wrapped his arms around your torso and pulled you to his chest.
You burried your head in his chest, and fell asleep soon after that.
"Sleep well, sunflower" And with that, he dozed off along with you.
You slowly opened your eyes, still in Ivan's tight embrace.
"I see you're awake"
You looked up at him and nodded.
"Did you sleep well?"
You replied with just another nod.
Your heart was beating so fast, you felt like it was going to burst out of your chest.
He separated himself from you and got out of bed.
"Are you feeling and better?"
You didn't respond, you didn't realize he was speaking to you.
Either that, or you just didn't want to answer.
You sniffled quietly to yourself 'I-I shouldn't be c-crying...'
He turned to you abruptly "What's wrong sunflower!?"
When you didn't give him an answer he pulled you into another tight embrace.
After a few minutes of complete silence, besides your sniffling, you finally spoke
"I-I'm sorry Ivan...."
He looked at you, his eyebrows furrowing in confusion "Why are you apologizing..?"
That's exactly what you didn't want to hear, you took in a deep breath and spoke.
"I love you..", you mumbled shyly, the three words that would determine your fate with Ivan.
His eyes widened, he looked down at your small form in his arms and leaned in slowly.
You blushed furiously, not knowing what he was going to do.
His lips brushed against yours, and he whispered "? ???? ???? ?????", before kissing you
with unintentional force, but packed with love non-the-less.
He backed away from you a bit, an adorable blush coating his cheeks.
After processing all that had just happened, you wrapped you arms around his neck and
smiled "Thank you!".
He chuckled and looked down at you "For what?"
In a nasally voice you replied "For loving me".

Hey guys, sorry I have taken so long to post the tasting notes from my silver medal win last fall. I have typed them up below. I just rebrewed this beer to submit to a local brewery for consideration in the GABF pro-am. If they pick my beer from a field of six or sever other local brewers we would brew a commercial-size batch and submit that to the competition. Wish me luck! Patrick Tasting Notes from The Dominion Cup 2011: Category: 16E Sub-category: Belgian Specialty Final assigned score: 37/50 Aroma: 8/10 Strong hop aroma, bit piney some citrus, some underlying biscuit notes, very subdued. Touch of tartness. Low spice and esters - some lemon might be there. Hops are very American in style. Appearance: 3/3 Copper. Clear. Thick, off-white, persistent head. Flavor: 15/20 Flavor has more Belgian notes that compliment the Belgian quality nicely. Spicey and fruity with hop flavor in balance. Malt is toasty and biscuity; clove and pine, grapefruit citrus come together well. Not overdone. Sugars are light - might have helped dry it out. Finishes dry and hoppy. Mouthfeel: 3/5 Medium body - could be thinner especially if candi sugars played a role. Creamy but not cloying. Smooth. Overall Impression: 8/10 Very nice Belgian IPA with enough hops but not overdone. Good balance. Nice overall.
I don't quite have the equipment yet for an all-grain batch. Can I get some help with making this partial-grain?

Haiti-type disasters require a UN rapid-response unit
In the first critical hours of a disaster, a controlling entity must keep the airport open, clear the roads, maintain order, and prepare for the arrival of help.
Provo, Utah
It does not take anything away from the heroism, the generosity, the prayers, and the worldwide fundraising directed at Haiti to observe that the postearthquake relief efforts could have gone better. Haiti's experience should prompt the creation of a United Nations unit ready to respond at a moment's notice.
Two weeks after the quake, thousands were sleeping in the open until tents arrived. Hundreds of postoperative patients had no beds for recuperation, and Haitian nurses reported having to treat amputees with bare-minimum painkillers. A procession of refugees streamed out of Port-au-Prince to find food. Families left by sea in an armada of canoes and little boats to find refuge in coastal areas outside the capital.
Journalists are supposed to remain stoic as they report on such scenes, but there was no concealing the emotion of foreign reporters as they held in their arms orphaned babies with nowhere to go, as they watched a girl rescued after a week under the rubble expire hours later, or as their truck raced from crowded hospital to crowded hospital seeking a bed for an injured elderly woman.
