Idea was a very large rodent type creature that instead of storing the candy in his cheeks its swallowed and stored in pouches for the long winter months. (little guy in the corner has a full belly) very preliminary. Second time I have had the guts to show a WIP/try COW o.o

Starting to mess with shading and color of my concept. First time in over a year doing digital but its nice to get back to it and remember how fun it can be.
not sure about background yet though.

made the legs bigger to really make it look like it can jump to space, gave the back feet some more sturdiness and grip via spikes for a take off jump in snowy mountains. made the teeth bigger to get them as big as the head. i'm interpreting it as each tooth as big as it's head. added some colors.

@scorge very cool Grunklin!
Here is an update, later i realized that the face of this guy is looking similar to the one of a famous cat , if you know what i´m talking please note that it wasn´t on pourpose! i just did a quick sketch wich evolved to look like this.

elephant's stroke- I can't tell if he's sitting on a cloud or a mountain... you'll want to define that more. Also, only one hand appears to have fingers, the other just has claws. I like the tail but you could probably smooth out the rendering and get the edges a little sharper on it. I like the teeth. Hope that helps!

Hey, this is my sketch. My Grunklin eats lots of candy so he is really fat, his teeth is so big that he can't open his mouth to eat candy, so his tooth have a hole , and he jumps by his ... BUM.

Very good and very cute, Brehm, but I'd just say the hole is a biiiig dental carie from all the candy, because if he eats throgh the hole, then how he chews all his chewable candy? I'm sure Grunklins wouldn't settle for just the ones you don't chew!
Thinking like a kid here.

Rapper Mykki Blanco makes the kind of hip-hop that frightens people.
Like Black Power rappers KRS-1 and Chuck D, Blanco challenges the white establishment. Like violence-glorifying gangster rappers N.W.A. and 2Pac, Blanco may be considered a bad influence. This is, however, the new millennium, and hip-hop is the new mainstream.
Hip-hop is Top 40 and big business. The typical white American teen tends be a hip-hop fan and most likely inherited the genre from their parents' CD collection. So what is it about Mykki Blanco that frightens people in 2013?
There were no pronoun typos in this paragraph: Blanco's gender identity provokes people of all ethnicities. Drag and gender identity are among the last surviving taboos in American pop culture, and performance artist Michael David Quattlebaum, Jr. defies taboo as Mykki Blanco.
The rapper brought his edgy rhymes about sex and alternative lifestyles to Wilkes-Barre on Friday, March 29. Downtown Arts, the former First United Methodist Church, was an ironic setting for Blanco's NEPA debut.
EDM DJs started the evening as the enthusiastic and seemingly chemically-enhanced scene kids filled up the small venue. Many came to see the first solo performance of former Tiger's Jaw singer Adam McIlwee. And then there was… nothing.
Mykki Blanco was nowhere to be found, unless, of course, you had a smart phone and Twitter account. As the hour approached midnight, Blanco was still getting ready in the hotel room and posting glam shots of herself to Instagram.
At 12:30 a.m., the nervous tension of Blanco's absence was beginning to dissipate and a few of the college-aged kids began to filter out before the bars closed. Just when it seemed she would be a no-show, the fog machine kicked on. The room filled with an eerie green light and rave-heavy beats. Mykki took the stage dressed in a hoody and skirt combo, adorned with anime characters.
The small but lively crowd soaked up the kind of rage only a transgendered rapper could spit. Mykki Blanco expressed her m�lange of angst and joy with rap. S/he is the American dream/nightmare, and that is how you frighten people with hip-hop in 2013.

Beyond the 15% Rule
The amount of solar generation connected to the U.S. transmission and distribution power system is increasing significantly. Factors such as climate change, renewable portfolio standards and incentives, and accelerated cost reductions are driving accelerated growth in utility-interconnected renewable solar technologies. As a result, numerous North American utilities are faced with photovoltaic (PV) installations with aggregate capacities in the megawatt range on distribution circuits. With increasing solar plant sizes and levels of deployment in both transmission and distribution systems, interconnection and operational challenges become more complex.
Effective interconnection of distributed PV systems requires careful attention to ensure compatibility with the existing grid. The electric distribution grid is designed for one-way power flow from the utility substation to customer loads. Introducing a high penetration of distributed PV systems can affect voltage regulation, power flow, and system protection. As the number of PV installations grows, real and perceived risks to grid operations and stability create additional barriers to further growth.
The Systems Integration (SI) subprogram, within the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) SunShot Initiative, supports critical research and development activities that address technical and cost barriers to large-scale deployment of distributed and central-station solar energy technologies. An important aspect of the overall effort is ensuring that technology development and industry experience are reflected in the procedures that govern interconnection of PV generation into distribution systems.
At the distribution system level, PV installations account for the great majority of the generation installations. One of the steps in the interconnection screening procedure is related to the amount of generation capacity with respect to peak load. Under most applicable procedures, penetration levels higher than 15% of peak load trigger the need for supplemental studies.
Because of the rapid pace of PV deployment in distribution systems, many utilities have achieved or will soon achieve penetration levels in excess of 15% by capacity. SI is actively engaged in monitoring technical issues associated with high penetration and disseminating information so that the industry is able to evaluate whether existing procedures, including the 15%-capacity-penetration screen, continue to serve industry needs.
The 15% screen, which represents the ratio of distributed generation (DG) capacity to peak load, originates from the concern that a DG capacity larger than the connected load could result in the creation of an unwanted or unintentional island, which causes the line section to be isolated from the utility source. As a result, under most existing distribution interconnection procedures (e.g., California's Rule 21 Generating Facility Interconnections), if the proposed aggregate DG capacity on a line section exceeds 15% of the line-section annual-peak load, then a supplemental interconnection study is required. These supplemental interconnection studies are often time-consuming and expensive—and frequently create a situation in which the proposed PV system application is withdrawn.
Unintentional Islanding
The possibility of unintentional islanding is one of the concerns of system planners when evaluating interaction issues between distributed generation and the power system. Islanding occurs when the DG operates as a separate entity and continues to energize the load after disconnection from the utility source. There are two types of islanding: intentional and unintentional. Intentional islanding is planned in advance and carefully engineered for reliability and power-quality purposes. Unintentional islanding is established by accident.
All DG systems, including PV inverters, are required to implement anti-islanding controls. The formation of an unintentional island represents a failure to detect and disconnect the loss-of-connection to the utility. Unintentional islanding, even if it lasts a short period of time, is a condition to be avoided in utility system operation because of the following risks:
- Safety issue for both line crews and the public resulting from exposure to energized conductors
- Transient overvoltage caused by ferroresonance and ground fault conditions
- Out-of-phase reclosing, leading to potential damage to DG systems, customer loads, and utility-owned equipment
- Increase in restoration time, which may reduce reliability.
Because of the possible impacts of unintentional islands, the IEEE 1547-2003 Standard for Interconnecting Distributed Resources with Electric Power Systems requires DG systems to have anti-islanding protection that detects when an island has occurred and isolates the generator from the utility system within two seconds. As such, the possibility of unintentional islanding is remote, especially when load and power factor do not match the generation.
Active-power mismatch has been used to prevent the risk of islanding. For example, IEEE 1547.2-2008 Application Guide for IEEE 1547 states that when an unintentional island forms and the total DG capacity is less than one-third (33.3%) of the load (a 3-to-1 load-to-generation factor), the DG would be unable to energize the load and support and maintain acceptable voltage and frequency. In other words, the possibility of unintentional islanding can be ruled out in situations where the DG capacity is less than 33.3% of the load or the pre-island loading approaches three times the generation. For PV installations, there is a need for margin to guard against future drops in the minimum load.
Origin of the "15% Rule"
During the initial formulation of California PUC Rule 21 for interconnection of DG, the 15% rule was established to mitigate the risk of unintentional islanding. It assumes that the possibility of unintentional islanding is eliminated when the connected load is higher than the PV system output.
Some statistical analysis and rules of thumb suggest that the annual minimum load on a line section is approximately 30% of the annual peak load. Thus one-half of this estimated annual minimum load or a threshold of 15% was selected as a conservative number to ensure that there is no risk of DG capacity exceeding the load. Using the peak load as a reference is common practice because data on minimum load are not easily available or reliable. Figure 1 shows a sample load curve for a distribution substation in which annual minimum load is approximately 25% of the annual peak load.
FERC SGIP 15% Rule
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (FERC) Small Generator Interconnection Procedures (SGIP) contains guidelines for interconnection of wholesale distributed generation, including PV of up to 20 megawatts (MW). The SGIP defines three distinct procedures for DG plants that (1) are smaller than 10 kW, (2) have a maximum size of 2 MW, and (3) are no larger than 20 MW. The procedures and study requirements become more complex for larger systems. Because a large percentage of DG PV sizes are smaller than 2 MW, Section 2 of the SGIP describes a fast-track process. If the proposed generator passes a series of 10 screening tests, interconnection proceeds without the need for any supplemental studies. The 15%-threshold screen often triggers the requirement for supplemental studies. The specific SGIP language states:
188.8.131.52. For interconnection of a proposed Small Generating Facility to a radial distribution circuit, the aggregated generation, including the proposed Small Generating Facility, on the circuit shall not exceed 15% of the line section annual peak load as most recently measured at the substation.
Most DG proposed projects are not wholesale in nature, but are commercial and residential PV installations. As such, state interconnection rules apply. SGIP language is included in many state procedures that apply to state-jurisdictional installations, and most state rules largely conform to the SGIP series of screening tools, including the 15% rule.
Expanding the "15% Rule"
There are several reasons why the 15% threshold may be considered conservative:
- In practice, minimum load on most line sections occurs at night, when PV system output is non-existent. Realistic daytime minimum load on most distribution circuits would be well above the absolute minimum load. For the example in Figure 1, daytime minimum load, when PV generation capacity becomes significant, is closer to 50% of the annual peak load.
- With present anti-islanding technology, the risk of unintentional islanding is very low, even if PV system capacity matches or exceeds the load in a line section.
- Some argue that the 15% threshold is also useful to account for other potential impacts of DG on distribution circuits, including voltage control and protection coordination. However, recent analysis and field experience suggests that these problems are not a significant concern at 15%-penetration levels. There are numerous examples of line sections with PV-penetration levels well beyond 15% with respect to peak load that have reported no performance impacts.
Presently, the DOE SI team, the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), and Sandia National Laboratories (SNL) are collaborating with the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) and Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) to evaluate the technical bases that support interconnection screening criteria, including the 15% threshold, and determine whether revisions are justifiable based on documented industry experience and technical advances. NREL and SNL are leading the technical research, compiling data, and conducting high-penetration PV tests and demonstrations with a goal of presenting a white paper that reinforces a higher, but still safe, DG penetration level than the present 15%.
Finally, strategic stakeholder meetings and workshops began in August, 2011, at the CPUC office in San Francisco, California. Additional meetings will be held in September and November 2011 to discuss the adequacy of existing screening procedures, including the 15% threshold, for wholesale distributed generation. The information for the September and November 2011 meetings will be posted on the DOE High Penetration Solar Portal Webpage.

Projo.com: Sean McAdam: In tragic times, Sox fail to step to plate
I promise this is my last Red Sox post till the end of the season (short of the most stunning comeback in MLB history). I think calling the Sox "heartless bastards" might have been kinder than the tenor of this column.
Anyways, my main question here is the intelligence of professional athletes giving blood. I had always assumed that the reason you couldn't give more than once every 6 weeks or so is because you have to regenerate the red blood cells taken in the donation. This lower amount of cells would in turn causing easier fatigue etc. at least for a short time. Is this true? And does it really cause any effect? I'm not saying that Joe Schmoe in his local slo-pitch league shouldn't give blood (though I probably wouldn't the day of a game), but should people who rely on their stamina for their livelihood give blood? If it is suggested you lay off the alcohol for 24 hours after giving blood, should you run around on a football field chasing after Marshall Faulk after doing so? If any doctors can let us know that would be great.

I had lost my bottom teeth several years ago and my dentist told me my only option was a removable denture so I had one made and its very uncomfortable. I went for an implant consult at Bright Smile Design Dental and the dentist explained everything to me about the dental implants he was very patient and knowledgeable. I decided to do the dental implants with Dr Lezhansky I was very happy the procedure was pain free even after the anesthesia wore off, but most important I have teeth and no more dentures it great.

What's ZERO? How Do We Get There?
Zero Energy Buildings have come to the forefront of the "next thing" in building performance. Questions as to technical viability and costs are seen as barriers to even producing pilots of these buildings. Questions about "what they are" are tossed about the literature. This presentation will look at what they are, the current definitions, and what is needed to change the paradigm of buildings from energy consumers to energy producers. Case studies of actual buildings and processes used by early adopters will be discussed.Many of the strategies can be used on existing buildings and new construction to achieve deep energy savings.
Paul is a recognized expert in zero energy buildings having spoken widely on the subject and published numerous papers on the subject. Most recently, he served on a joint project between the National Institute of Building Sciences and the U.S. Department of Energy to define zero energy buildings. He is the Endowed Chair of Sustainable Energy at Eastern Connecticut State University and a Principal Engineer at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) in Golden, Colorado. He holds a PhD. from Purdue University in Mechanical Engineering and is a Registered Professional Engineer.
You won't want to miss this opportunity to hear Paul.

CTASLA: Trees and Design in the CT Built Environment
CTASLA is pleased to bring James Urban to Connecticut, along with other respected speakers, to share their expertise on street trees with landscape architects, arborists, tree wardens, and other designers and managers of urban tree spaces. With the ongoing debate about utility tree-trimming practices and Right Tree-Right Place guidelines, and as cities respond to global warming, this is a time of increased scrutiny toward streetscapes and renewed passion about our urban forest.

I've used this this cushion for over two years. Yes, it is expensive (maybe too expensive). That's why the three stars. But the end result is it's helped me with my bulging lower back disc, after I removed the foam cutout.
One thing: the memory foam becomes VERY hard after being left overnight in the car and the temperature was 50 degrees or below.

I had an emergency Hemr$$$d flare up and it was impossible to sit on my office chair. I ran to the nearest store and found this to be only acceptable fix. Tried other cushions and sub $200 seating solutions. I did get sticker shock at $160 and have the 30day return policy, but I think I am gonna keep it. I sit 1/3rd of my life on this chair so its a good investment. My weight - 255 lbs. PS it worked better with the removable insert in place.

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Homebuilder confidence rose to a nearly eight-year high in August, the National Association of Home Builders said on Thursday.
The NAHB/Wells Fargo Housing Market Index rose for the fourth consecutive month to 59, as builders grew encouraged by firming home prices and rising demand amid a tight supply for homes.
But there is a disconnect between the sentiment as portrayed by the index and actual homebuilder activity. Housing starts are rising but they still remain well below normal.

More than five years after it had triggered a bomb blast at the Independence Day parade ground in upper Assam's Dhemaji town in which 13 people, including 10 children and three women, were killed on August 15, 2004, the United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) on Sunday tendered an apology to the people of Assam for denying its hand in the blast immediately after the blast.
In a statement e-mailed to the local media, self-styled Commander-in-Chief of the ULFA, Paresh Barua, described the Dhemaji blast as "the most tainted chapter of ULFA's revolutionary history" and "the most brutal and heinous murder of children and women."
Barua claimed that ULFA had denied its hand in the blast as those ULFA cadres who had triggered it, misinformed higher-ups in the militant outfit that the blast was the handiwork of the "occupational forces."
"We did not realise that our statement issued at that time was incorrect. However, later when the real truth came to light, we realised that our statement was incorrect. So we seek the apology of the people of Assam," Barua said.
The ULFA military chief alleged that those cadres who were involved in the Dhemaji blast had already been expelled from the outfit.

HYDERABAD: More than a year after the laying of foundation stone, the Hyderabad Metropolitan Development Authority (HMDA) has decided to go for a joint development of its central office complex estimated to cost anywhere up to Rs.100 crore with private participation.
To spread over 8.5 acres at Hitex, Madhapur, it was proposed as a central point for its functioning including planning, engineering, environment, estates and administration, which is presently spread over different locations.
The then Chief Minister Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy had laid foundation for it in August 2008.
The six-floor complex with a total built-up area of 4.50 lakh sft is to have an auditorium, gym and parking facility apart from integrating the existing lake on the northern side of the site.
Platinum rated Green building concepts of Indian Green Building Council or its equivalent are to be followed so as to have high energy efficiency and environment friendly.
Conceptual plans prepared by Yasher Architects of Israel were approved and a tender was floated for consultancy of architectural services early last year with a time schedule of 18 months.
The reference was that the building be 'constructed quickly to provide accommodation for all the departments of HMDA and hence the selected consultant is expected to complete his services speedily'.
Financial constraints
However, despite its eagerness to have a central office complex early, financial strain has derailed the plan. Given the present scenario and inability to raise necessary heavy funding, the HMDA is said to be working at the possibilities of having a joint partnership with some private parties to ensure the project is taken up at the earliest. More modalities are yet to emerge on the ways and means to take forward such an initiative.

Webroot Internet Security Complete introduces the most comprehensive protection for today's Internet user, integrating Webroot's enterprise-class cloud protection with technologies that secure what consumers care about the most: identity, privacy and personal data.

"At the same time, Webroot is seeing more than 40,000 new threats emerge every day. Traditional desktop security alone can't protect consumers in today's threat landscape. Webroot Internet Security Complete addresses these critical issues by delivering unparalleled Web-based protection that protects the person rather than the PC."

This means that users can access data and applications from anywhere, without compromising security."

Football writers the world over will be frantically thumbing through their thesaureses this evening, desperately searching for new superlatives for a performance from Spain that we may well one day look back upon as the definitive of our age. Over the last few days a frankly tedious circular debate has been raging on the subject…
On the seventeenth of June 1970, Italy and West Germany played out a World Cup semi-final at The Azteca Stadium in Mexico City so epic that earned itself the soubriquet of The Match Of The Century. Perhaps the finest tribute ever paid to an individual football match ever made can be found outside the stadium,…

So, then, to Kiev and to the quarter-finals of the European Championships. It's the final match of the round this evening, featuring an Italian side that is something of a curates egg, excellent against Spain in matching them every inch of the way before being slightly underwhelming against Croatia and The Republic of Ireland, whilst…
Despite Group C containing three of its best teams, the tension of the final games nearly unravelled the quality with which Spain, Italy and Croatia have sprinkled this tournament to date. Spain's light blue kit was, dare I say it, a bit scruffy, i.e. it suited players such as the Sergios Ramos and Busquets. They…
A good result, this for Croatia. Italy's midfield trio of Pirlo, Purlo and Pairlo, combined with the rugged centre-back pairing of Chiellini and Collini, would have presented a challenge to Spain at their best. But Croatia overcame the odds – themselves helped by defensive duo Caluka and Corluka – and, after being second best for…
Those that do not learn from history are destined to repeat its mistakes. Italian football has been gripped by scandal before and the events of the last couple of weeks have been the culmination of a story that has been bubbling under for some months now, but those writing Italy off on account of the…

SAT GRE Vocab Game Free
1,000 - 5,000 downloadsAdd this app to your lists
+ By Minibit
Tired of studying vocabulary for tests like the SAT and GRE the old fashioned way? SAT prep begone! With Word Warfare, you will learn vocabulary while enjoying yourself! No more will you have to spend hours mindlessly going through SAT vocabulary lists, hoping that thirty or so of those words will actually appear on the test. With this app, you'll be able to commit these words to long-term memory in a snap, turning the dreaded process of studying into a satisfying intellectual conquest that would make Napoleon drool.
We have hand-selected words that frequently appear on the actual test, so if you can learn these words, you will have the upper hand come test day. These word games are designed to help you increase your vocabulary in the fastest, most efficient ways possible.
Though your Statistics course has most certainly warned you about the dangers of drawing conclusions from a very small set of data, we claim that Stats is bunk. The developer of this app got a perfect score on the SAT Critical Reading section - twice. There are serious learning algorithms at work when you play these games.
Regardless of whether you're taking the SAT, GRE, GMAT, or another high-stakes test, these words will stay with you for the rest of your life and will add spice to that monotonous essay you have due next week, sleep-inducing resume that's going to be read by an admissions officer or recruiter in the coming months, and charmless love letter you hope to send. Forget GRE prep. Forget SAT vocabulary. This app will change your life. No joke.
In all seriousness, here's how you actually play the game. Choose from two game modes: survival and classic. In survival mode, you have a certain number of lives; categorize words correctly to avoid losing these lives. In classic mode, you must race against the clock to build up a large score. In these two modes, you choose from two games:
- Synonym Farmer:
Group words that are synonymous to the two words at the bottom. Easy, fun way to quickly build up a large word-base.
- Synonym Protector:
Guide the rocket with your finger to destroy all the words that are synonymous to the word at the bottom of the screen.
The higher your accuracy, the more likely you are to earn streak points, which can send your score to stratospheric heights.
If you'd prefer to study vocabulary the long way, this app has a built in vocabulary list with over 500 words and their definitions (available only in the pro version). This list also has advanced search functionality, along with text-to-speech capabilities.
So, if you want to get a perfect score on your SAT or GRE Critical Reading, download this app now! Spend a little time going through the game and the SAT / GRE vocab list every day to ensure you will do great on test day.

PORTLAND -- The Oregon Health & Science University Hospital board approved a plan Thursday to issue firearms to its 25-member police force.
An OHSU task force first recommended a policy change in the wake of the 2007 shooting that killed dozens of people at Virginia Tech.
Greg Mowad, the OSHUDirector of Public Safety, said in that type of situation Portland police just can't respond fast enough.
That leads to a between seven and 15 minute response time for Portland Police Bureau, he said. Virginia Tech, from start to finish, was a little over seven minutes. And so we end up in a situation where time equals life.
It's been a slow process, but security officials expect the force to be armed by mid-September.
Because OHSU treats a lot of patients who suffer from mental illnesses, officers will be trained to deescalate potentially violent situations before opting for the use of lethal force.

Here's a very enjoyable new sports memoir entitled Rafa about the tennis champion Rafael Nadal.

Nadal's opening chapter introduces us to the tennis player's state of mind, always a battleground against his own thoughts, as Nadal prepares to face off against Roger Federer in the 2008 Wimbledon final. Nadal … Continue reading

From hip hop to jazz… From dance to the blues: it's music, and there's a style for everyone. Some of the greatest music in the world comes from Britain, and British music is still topping the charts today.
The Premises recording studios are big players in the music industry. Everyone from Lana del Rey to the Arctic Monkeys come here. Let's find out more.
If you've heard of them, they've probably played here. The Premises has been one of London's most popular studios for over 25 years. It has space for rehearsing, recording and mixing some of the best music in the world.
Viv Broughton is the studio boss.
Richard: Viv, tell me about The Premises.
Viv: Well, The Premises is a complex of recording studios and I don't really think there's anything quite like it anywhere in the country. It's a mixture of rehearsal studios, recording studios, a lively café, storage facilities, so it's a really busy place. Hundreds of people passing through all the time.
Richard: What sort of artists come here?
Viv: Oh, a mixture of people. I mean, we've been going for 26 years so almost everybody you can think of has passed through the doors one way or another, so I think in the last couple of years people like Rihanna and Adele and Lana Del Rey. Last month we had Ronnie Wood in from the Rolling Stones, so it's quite a mixture of people.
Richard: What is it about Britain that creates such musical talent?
Viv: Ah, that's a good question. It's a bit of a mystery but there just must be something in the water or in the air. Britain produces just so many amazing bands, from The Beatles and the Rolling Stones onwards and it's a melting pot of great recording and writing talent.
Britain has some of the world's greatest music festivals. This is Bestival in the Isle of Wight. For 4 days every year, thousands of people come to this award-winning event to listen to and watch some of the greatest music acts around. There's music here for everyone…

Weekend Play: G'bye, 2013
Posted on December 20, 2013 AT 05:00pm
Welcome to EGM's Weekend Play, a weekly account of what games the editors of EGM are currently playing, and an open conversation with you, the reader, about what you've been playing.
For the next few months, leading up to the launch of Titanfall on the Xbox One and inFamous: Second Son on the PlayStation 4, the EGM Crew will be attempting to play some of the very best PS3, Xbox 360, and Wii games they never got around to and chronicling their adventures here. So join us, if you will, on exploring Last Gen's Best and share your own progress in the comments section.
This week, I brought in a copy of a game from my personal library that Chris wanted to borrow. He—and his office roomie Josh—commented on the fact that the game was still in its original shrink-wrap.
The thing is, that's not uncommon in my home. At least a third of the games that I own have never been opened, and I wouldn't be shocked if that percentage was actually closer to half. Sales, special bargains, worry about a particular title going out of print—whatever it is, I snagged the games at some point, and then refuse to open them until the day comes for me to play them. Unfortunately, more and more, that day never comes. I play games for work, but those I buy out of personal interest sit unloved and unplayed.
Thus, the problem with getting into what I want to get caught up on comes down to having too much to pick from. Even before I get to the games of this generation, I still have PS2 games to get to! There are some titles that I really, finally do need to get to, thought. Games like Red Dead Redemption and Folklore, 3D Dot Game Heroes and Binary Domain. I want to actually play the single-player portion of Uncharted 3—I've only touched multiplayer so far—and I shamefully got 90% of the way through Mirror's Edge and then stopped.
So, over the holiday break, I'll have a lot of great gaming to catch up on. Well, either that, or I'll just sit there paralyzed mentally the entire time, vast stacks of games sitting before me, and I having not one clue where to start.
BioShock Infinite may have been my personal Game of the Year, but I haven't had the time to check out Burial at Sea just yet—work and life keep interfering with my plans. Thankfully, the upcoming Yuletide break will allow me to check out a few games I missed over the course of the year, and Burial at Sea is probably at the top of that list. Even though it's gotten mixed reviews, I'm always excited to check out the latest bizarre creation that's sprung from the mind of Ken Levine.
My first week into playing games to catch up was, in some respects, a failure. I put a measly three games on my list – Remember Me, Metal Gear Rising Revengeance, and Blue Dragon, and didn't manage to touch one of them. This was, in large part, because I received a copy of the Baldur's Gate II Enhanced Edition.
Back when the Baldur's Gate games came out, I wasn't doing much gaming on PC. For role-playing, I always turned to JRPGs anyway, and games actually based on Dungeons & Dragons didn't particularly interest me. Therefore, when I received the Enhanced Edition, I decided to give it a whirl. I must say it's a good thing I never tried to play it during a busy time of year, as I would have either forgotten my real responsibilities or would have driven myself crazy trying to sneak in an hour here and an hour there to play.
The game is outstanding. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a legendary RPG to tackle.
I still intend to play through my three previously mentioned games, as well as three others I decided to add to my list: Gone Home, Papers Please, and Torchlight II. The first two I have heard great things about and really want to try. The last one is just to keep me busy until the Diablo III expansion hits in March.
I don't know that I will get all the way through all of these games over the next couple of weeks, but I intend to make a serious dent.
I have over 500 games from the last gen in my collection, and I've beaten them all unless they were unforgivably broken (I'm looking at you TMNT: Out of the Shadows). Therefore, I really don't feel like there was anything I missed since I've already played everything that would interest me. So, this weekend will be spent with Assassin's Creed IV's "Freedom" Cry DLC, since it's really all I have left at this point beyond sports games or going back to destroying people online with Cyborg in Injustice. Maybe if I'm feeling like getting yelled at by a 10-year-old, I'll go play some Call of Duty: Ghosts online. Otherwise, everything that was "must play" for me is in the "been there, done that" pile.
This weekend, I'll be playing…more Demon's Souls. Hey, I know it's not the most exciting thing in the world for me to keep playing the same game I played on the last installment of Weekend Play, but you guys didn't honestly expect me to beat one of the most notoriously punishing games of last generation in a week, did you? I've only made baby steps so far—I've finally beaten Boletarian Palace after getting a hang of the mechanics—but I can definitely. Still, it's quite a stressful game, and I'm having a tough time marathoning through like I do most of the time. Hopefully the holiday break will give me time to roll through at a leisurely pace and I'll be done when next we meet.
I am sad to report that I have more than a few very embarrassing missed gaming connections from the PS3, Xbox 360, and Wii generation. Dark Souls is on the last, as is inFamous 2, Catherine, Super Mario Galaxy 2, Braid, Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons, Skyrim, Red Dead Redemption, Fallout: New Vegas. L.A. Noire, and XCOM: Enemy Unknown.
In preparation for XCOM (I'll be playing Enemy Within, but same diff—just more), and because it's something more immediate that I missed out on at launch, I'll be playing Fire Emblem: Awakening this weekend. Had anyone told me how much like Shining Force it was I'd probably have leapt at it sooner. I'm only a few missions in but already my Shining Force itch is being scratched in all the right ways.
I also feel like getting lost in a big world this weekend, so I think I'll be booting up Skyrim at some point as well. A digital copy of the latest Elder Scrolls game was included with my Xbox 360 slim purchase at the start of this year (old white model finally red-ringed on me), and little of it I played back in January, but it failed to sink its claws in me the same way Fallout 3 did. Still, I need something to tide me over until Fallout 4.
There's also some Call of Duty: Ghosts multiplayer on Xbox One in my future as Titanfall training and Max: The Curse of Brotherhood to review. Xbox gamertag is thesearingstar if ya'll want to join me for some Ghosts.
Continuing with the trend of catching up with "last gen's" classics—still sounds so weird—I'll be plunging into the depths of Dark Souls, a game I've tried my best to avoid, as getting repeatedly killed doesn't sound like my idea of fun. So this weekend I'll be arming myself with a lot of snacks and tissues—for the tears I'll no doubt be crying after an hour—as I brave the game's unforgiving, and practically unfair, world. Whether I'll come out the other side with my insanity intact remains to be seen, but if I don't make it, I just want you to know that I love you all.

Good site
The website and mailing system itself is safe. It's only the people who use it and the emails that are received could sometimes be bad. For example, phishing emails, chainmails, and ads are circulated around the system, wasting your time and clogging up your inbox. This has nothing to do with the website, though, and it's mostly the outcome of your contacts (friends who constantly send you chainmails) or things you have signed up for (entering contests using your email).
Overall: This is a very good website with easy-to-use features, and is completely trustworthy. Just be careful of fishy emails, ads, and chainmails. "

Let's face it. These days, lawyers are a dime a dozen.
More accurately, 80% of lawyers are a dime a dozen…
The 80/20 Rule, is a fact of nature. It holds true that 80% of lawyers earn only 20% of the total billings each year.
You can't live on that!
So, how do you become one of the 20% of lawyers that earn 80% of the total revenue in your profession?
That's what Alexis covers in her article this week.
Want a real kicker?
Of the 20% of lawyers earning 80% of the revenue, there's another 80/20 distribution. If you do the math, that means that 4% of lawyers are earning fully 64% of the total revenue in the field.
It just keeps going like that.
And it's true for our Members, too.
We have a very clear distribution of lawyers in our program. Our most successful members are earning many multiples of the average and low-performing lawyers in our program. And our top 4% are some of the highest earners in the entire legal field… Certainly for the Estate & Business Planning niche.
It will always be that way. The principle is the principle.
The only thing you can change is where you land on the curve.
It's up to you to take action.

Clashes broke out between political rivals Shiv Sena and Maharashtra Navanirman Sena (MNS) Thursday afternoon, while filing nomination papers at the Mumbai Collectors Office at Old Customs House in Mumbai.
The clashes erupted when members of the Shiv Sena along with their candidate Arvind Sawant arrived to file their nomination papers while the MNS candidate Aditya Shirodkar and his supporters were already present there filing their papers. According to some eye witnesses, two cars were set on fire by the raging mob and atleast 50 party cadres from both parties were detained.
Police were soon on the scene, lathi charging party cadres as both parties started pelting stones at each other and shouting party slogans. Reports of injuries among both party cadres have been reported.
The clashes created traffic snarls across south Mumbai with P.D'Mello road leading to the Eastern Freeway being most affected.
The clashes come days after MNS chief Raj Thackeray during a political rally reacted to his cousin and arch rival Uddhav Thackeray remarks about him, calling him a backstabber.

Calif. man arrested for biting parents over family cat
The man lashed out at his 64-year-old father, punching him repeatedly in the head and biting a chunk of flesh out of his arm, elbow, and chin
By Erin Ivie
San Mateo County Times
REDWOOD CITY — A Daly City man pleaded not guilty to felony assault charges Monday after prosecutors say he "viciously" bit both of his parents and threatened to burn their home down when they denied him visitation with the family cat, prosecutors said.
Yevgeniy Bolshakov, 26, pleaded not guilty to charges that he attacked his parents in their shared Daly City apartment during a fight over the family cat, District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe said.
Bolshakov had just returned home from a Thanksgiving trip, and asked his parents to see the pet he missed while he was away.
His parents went on to tell him that the cat, who has just had surgery, was not up for having visitors, Wagstaffe said.
The man reportedly lashed out at his 64-year-old father, punching him repeatedly in the head and biting a chunk of flesh out of his arm before moving on to his elbow and chin.
Bolshakov then punched his 52-year-old mother and bit her hand when she tried to intervene, Wagstaffe said.
When police responded and led the man away, he yelled that he wanted to kill both of his parents and burn their apartment down.
Bolshakov was booked into San Mateo County Jail on two felony counts of assault and making threats, and one count of mayhem, Wagstaffe said. He will return to court Dec. 16, and remains in custody in lieu of $100,000 baill.

Delightful as Candy
posted 6 years ago
This product is a feed-through larvacide. The manure has been treated through feeding, thus reducing the fly population with each elimination.
Pros: Well liked, controls unwanted fly population.
Cons: Too well liked - horses go through it like candy. Expensive.

Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi on Sunday asked the victims of Muzaffarnagar riots living in relief camps here to go back to their homes, saying those engineering communal riots want them to remain in the camps as such a situation "benefits" them.
Gandhi's closely guarded visit to relief camps of Muzaffarnagar riot victims began early morning from Muslim-dominated Malakpur in UP's Shamli district where he held interactions with community members.
"Those who engineer communal riots want that you should not go back. This benefits them. They want to keep you away from your villages. I know it is difficult and there is also fear there but we have to think beyond. This will not be good in the long run.
"The message goes out that you will not go back to your villages. Those fanning communal riots precisely want this to happen," he told the riot victims.
However, there were clear voices from the riot victims that they do not want to go back to their homes as they fear they would be attacked again.
Gandhi also held interactions with riot victims at nearby Khurgan camp where Congress has put up medical camps.
The Congress Vice President is scheduled to visit more than half a dozen camps in Muzaffarnagar and Shamli districts.
One of the victims at the camp said this is the first time that a senior leader has visited them.
Talking to Gandhi, they said that unless the key conspirators behind the riots are sent back, they would not have the courage to go back to their homes.
The death of children in relief camps due to cold wave has triggered a controversy in the state.
AICC General Secretary Madhusudan Mistry, who is accompanying Gandhi, alleged the state government has not bothered to provide even basic amenities like adequate foodgrain and drinking water in the camps.
The issue of children dying in Muzaffarnagar camps was raked up in Parliament last week.
The Supreme Court had on December 12 taken "serious" note of deaths of over 40 children in relief camps for riot-affected people in Muzaffarnagar and directed the Uttar Pradesh government to immediately take remedial measures to meet the threat of winter.
Following the court order, the Uttar Pradesh Government had set up a high-level committee to look into the issue.
An estimated 4,000 people are still living in the five relief camps in Muzaffarnagar and Shamli.
Over 60 people were killed in the Muzaffarnagar riots that broke out in August.

It has come to light that the Chincholi police registered a case of rape of a minor girl five days after her parents first approached them.
Three police personnel have now been suspended for dereliction of duty.
The police not only refused to entertain the 11-year-old girl's parents from filing a complaint when they approached them on December 20, but also kept senior police officials, including Superintendent of Police N. Satheesh Kumar, in the dark about the incident.
'I am shocked'
Mr. Kumar told The Hindu on Tuesday: "My conscience is disturbed… I don't have words to condemn the attitude of the personnel in the Chincholi police station. I don't know why a case of rape was not registered based on the parents' complaint and why senior police officials were not informed about the incident… I am shocked."
Mr. Kumar has suspended police sub-inspector Mahantesh Patil, a police constable who was the station house officer and writer on duty when the girl's parents came to file the complaint, and a Special Branch constable attached to the police station for failing to inform his superiors about the incident, pending a detailed inquiry.
The incident came to light after the intervention of a relative of the victim and Child Help Line authorities. Senior police officials in the district headquarters woke up to the situation and directed the Chincholi police to register a case on December 24 night.
Mr. Kumar said the girl, hailing from a very poor Kabbaliga community family, was raped on December 19 and her parents approached the police the next day.
The police did not send the girl for the mandatory medical test nor recorded her statement. The girl complained of severe stomach pain and uncontrolled bleeding after three days and was taken to a private hospital in Solapur in Maharashtra.
Mr. Kumar said the police were on the lookout for the accused.
He said police officials, including a woman sub-inspector, had been sent to Solapur to provide protection to the victim and also to record her statement.
Meanwhile, vice-president of the All-India Democratic Women's Organisation (AIDWO) K. Neela condemned the attitude of the police and demanded immediate dismissal of the sub-inspector who failed to register the case. A delegation of AIDWO, led by Meenakshi Bali, visited the girl in the Solapur hospital.
