Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas is fun, but Xbox 360 HD remaster is rough
Posted by Chris Pereira Categories: Action, Adventure, Reviews, Xbox 360
Somehow, 10 years have already passed since the release of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas--arguably the most innovative game in the series. To coincide with the recent anniversary, Rockstar re-released the game on Xbox 360, replacing the Games on Demand version with a slightly improved version. And while the game itself remains an enjoyable experience, this may not be the best way of revisiting it.
I find myself occasionally in the mood to play one of the classic GTA III-era games (GTA III, Vice City, and San Andreas), which are among my all-time favorite games. I typically ignore this compulsion or simply spend a few minutes with the iPhone version of GTA III; I get my small dose of nostalgia but invariably stop playing because, despite Rockstar's best efforts, these are not games that work well on a touchscreen.
An improved re-release of San Andreas was exciting news for me--while a release on Xbox One or PS4 would have been ideal, a cheap Xbox 360 version with improved graphics, better draw distance, and achievements sounds like a great way to revisit the game.
iOS 8 review: A more powerful iPhone experience arrives
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, Cell Phones, Features, Handhelds, Product Reviews, Software
iOS 8 is the follow-up to last years radical redesign of Apple's mobile operating system. After the visual overhaul, the company went to work on adding a bunch of features that would make its devices more open with features like extensions and third-party keyboards, yet more secure with improved permissions and more widespread Touch ID integration. With iOS 8, Apple looks to refine the experience that was introduced last year, while allowing features for the power users of the world to shine.
It's been shown that Apple follows a two-step release process with its iOS device hardware and software. For example, one year the company will release a new design for the iPhone, and the following year it'll keep that design and refine the device, releasing it as an "S" class upgrade. iOS seems to follow a similar pattern, especially this year, which follows last year's big redesign. With iOS 8, Apple has introduced a layer of polish on top of its mobile operating system, bringing with it a bevy of new features. The question remains, do all the changes come together in a meaningful way? Join us for our full iOS 8 review as we explore the answer.

Purported iPhone 6 review video leaks ahead of Apple event
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, Cell Phones, Handhelds, Product Reviews, Videos
Apple is set to begin it's major We Wish We Could Say More event in just over 20 minutes, where the company will announce the new 4.7-inch iPhone 6 and 5.5-inch iPhone 6 Plus. However, it looks like someone may have beaten the company to the punch on the unveiling of the device. The PhoneEvaluation YouTube channel, based in China, has a 7-minute look at what appears to be a 4.7-inch iPhone 6 unit. No telling how accurate it is until Apple shows us the real thing, but if we had to guess, you'te looking at a genuine iPhone 6 in the video. We've embedded it below for your viewing pleasure. It'll kill time before the Apple event kicks off.
Be sure to check out how to watch the Apple event live to keep up with today's news as it happens.

HP EliteBook Folio 1040 G1 review
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Features, PC / Laptop, Product Reviews
HP decided that it was time to build a business notebook that sports the best features of the top consumer laptops, and the result is the HP EliteBook Folio 1040 G1. Ridiculously long name aside, the thin and light body construction is the right first-impression, and is a stark change from the typical squared-off black boxes that you typically find in a business notebook.
That said, you should never judge a laptop by its cover, and we've been using the HP EliteBook Folio 1040 G1 for the past month to put it through the proper paces in anticipation of this review. Does this PC succeed at accomplishing all the things a business power user needs while maintaining the sexy appearance of a consumer laptop? Join us for our full HP EliteBook Folio 1040 G1 review to find out.

Bleeding Edge TV 510: How to install the Nest Protect
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Features, Household, Podcasts, Videocasts, Videos
We show you how to install the Nest Protect smart smoke & carbon monoxide detector in this episode. The Nest Protect gets affiliated with your Nest account,which allows it to communicate with other Nest Protect devices in your home over Wi-Fi, as well as the Nest Smart Thermostat. It lights your path when you walk under it, and uses a proximity sensor to know when you are home in order to assist the thermostat in saving money. It also uses a human voice to alert you of fire and carbon monoxide danger. If you have any questions about the setup process, let us know over on our Patreon page.

Path of Exile review
Posted by Ariel Levin-Waldman Categories: Action, Features, Reviews, Role Playing Games
I'll be the first to admit that I am not a hardcore gamer. Ok, that's false, many people have said that first, but the point stands. I can never keep track of the differences between core and hardcore and pro gamer and who is playing what. But when I look at my steam account and see that I managed to log triple digit hours in some of those things I don't know if I can say I'm casual either. In fact, there is only one thing I can say with certainty about video games:
I like the free ones.
The majority of the games in my steam library were free. Metro 2033? Free promotional. Red Orchestra? Free steam weekend. And now another, Path of Exile. Another freebie, and at 132 hours it takes second place for play time in my library next to Civilization 5. That one I bought the hard way.
Its one of the expanding genre of free to play MMOs on the market these days and it ranks at the fifth most popular freebie on steam with a pretty solid community rating. Metascore 85/100 is nothing to sneeze at. It got glowing reviews from Gamespot and IGN. It has five million players. I'm willing to bet some of you reading this have that icon on your desktop right now.
Now I'm going to tell you about my experiences with it after 132 hours.
Bleeding Edge TV 509: How to set up Nest Protect
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Cell Phones, Features, Household, Podcasts, Videocasts, Videos
In this episode of Bleeding Edge TV, I show you how to set up the Nest Protect. The easiest way to getthe smart connected smoke + carbon monoxide detector from Nest ready for installation is using the iPhone or Android smartphone apps that the company provides. Using the Nest app, you set up the Nest Protect on your Wi-Fi network, test its functions prior to installation, get familiar with its features, and then move on to installation (which will be in our next video.) If you have any questions about the setup process, let us know over on our Patreon page.

Bleeding Edge TV 508: LEGO Fairground Mixer 10244 first look
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Design, Features, Podcasts, Toys, Videocasts, Videos
In this episode I bring you a first-look at the new LEGO Fairground Mixer set. Part of the LEGO Creator series, the Fairground Mixer 10244 includes the Mixer ride, ticket booth, working dunk tank, test of strength area, 12 minifigures (including new throwing up minifig!), and two trucks that carry everything around. A hand crank makes the Mixer turn, or you can attach an automatic motor. This set was revealed at the Sydney Brickshow, and includes 1,746 individual pieces, so it'll take you a little while to get it all put together (it's rated at expert level, after all!) When all is said and done, though, you'll be left with a great-looking, usable carnival scene with working attractions. We give you a look at how it all works in this episode.

HTC One (M8) review: The best Android phone gets even better
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Cell Phones, Features, Handhelds, Product Reviews
Last year, HTC impressed us with the release of the original HTC One, a phone that featured what we believed to be the best build quality of any Android smartphone. This year, the HTC One (M8) takes its place as the flagship handset from HTC.
On the surface, the HTC One (M8) improves upon the original in a multitude of ways. Faster internals. Dual-lens UltraPixel camera. Larger display. Improved industrial design. The question is, though, does the final product add up to being another that can stand above the crowded Android line-up? We've put the device through its paces, and we are here to answer all of those questions here in our full HTC One (M8) review.

I was looking on Youtube and seen a few Gender tests and i wanted to know if anyone has tried them and if they were accurate? I seen the cabbage test, baking soda test and Drano test? LOL I also seen a SLEW of bad reviews for that Intelligender Test you can order online or buy in stores but the majority of customers said it read "boy" and honey they were pissed they wasted their hard earned money.

Watson isn't that bad, some of his posts are a little off the mark but he does try hard and clearly loves the game. At the moment I wouldn't ban him at all, maybe give him a few infraction points if he goes off topic (when people do that it really grinds my gears).
So, over the long term his career stat's indicate that in a several years from now his average will be exactly 37 all over again.

I wasn't sure where to post this, but since this is basically an interior detail I thought it might fit in here...
I'm on the hunt for a black and blue led gear knob.. I want the outside casing bit to be black and the lights to be blue. Everywhere I look I can only find chrome and blue, which is not what I want.
Anyways, I've looked everywhere and can't find one.. anyone know where I can?? They must be around surely!!
I've found what I think is the perfect gear knob, it's exactly what I'm looking for anyways. I've contacted the seller as it is an ebay shop I've found it on, but anyone know where else I might find this exact gear knob? Here's a link to the shop, the gear knob I'm wanting is the black one on the right..

Occurring once every two or three years, the 'blue moon' (i.e., the second full moon in a single calendar month) has become synonymous with extremely rare events. Eight Blue Moons in one month, on the other hand, is completely impossible outside of a bowl of Lucky Charms. Hyperbole aside, it isn't often we're treated to a record as on-point as Goose's latest effort. Freshly-selected as a single off his next LP, this smoothed-out banger sees the Orlando-by-way-of NYC rhymesayer trading bold and arrogant verses with Chill Cosby auteur NIKO IS over a lushly-sampled beat by The Trackaholics. Like what you're hearing? Then stay tuned for more fresh song releases leading up to the June arrival of Goose's forthcoming full-length, The Apes of God.

Located just 23km from Montalcino is the delightful town of Pienza, which is perched on a hill overlooking the rolling landscape of the Val d'Orcia. This tiny walled town is refreshingly not overrun with big tourist groups and is quiet enough to lose yourself to the stunning scenery surrounding it.
There is not a lot to see here, it is more about its location in one of the most stunning parts of Tuscany. It is a place to stop and sample the creamy, locally made Pecorino cheese and perhaps a glass or Brunello produced in nearby Montalcino.
Take a stroll along the town walls, enjoy the colours of Tuscany and plot your return.
It is an easy day/half day trip from Montalcino. Arriving by car, you will find small parking lots around the edge of the old town. There isn't a huge amount of parking though, so grab whatever you can find. We found a shady, free parking spot about 5 minutes walk from Piazza Dante Alighieri.
For more information, visit my Pienza page.

- Food and Dining
Located 38km east from Montalcino is the amiable hill town of Montepulciano, which sits perched atop a narrow ridge of volcanic rock in central Tuscany. The towns main street climbs steeply to Piazza Grande, and along the way gourmet food & wine shops tempt you.
While you are there, take the time to sample some local cuisine in one of the excellent restaurants, and more importantly, try some of the town's most famous product - Vino Nobile di Montepulciano - a flavoursome red wine, which is produced here.
Other attractions include the Duomo and surrounding grand buildings, dark cellars to explore and of course, don't forget about the wine ; ) You won't be disappointed by the views from the city walls either!

Castelnuovo del'Abate
This is the small town right next to/above the Abbey of San Antimo. The photo is taken from just outside the doors of the abbey.
In the town you have the chance to vist a nice, midieval Italian town, not inundated with tourists. It is small, but has a few nice looking restaurants. Just be prepared that as it is not a major tourist center, some places will not be open all the time- i.e. afternoon reposo from 1-3:30 p.m., sundays, etc.

San Antimo - interior
The Church is very basic, but beautiful. The word harmonious comes to mind- the architecture, stones, colors, light of the Church fit flawlessly in the Tuscan valley where it resides.
The main alter is surrounded by seven arches, with light emanating from the well placed windows behind. The crypt with relics of Saint Antimo lies below the alter.
Of interest inside the Church include the wooden figure of Christ above the altar. This is a work done most likely by a monk or layman who stopped here for as long as necessary to realize this work. From the 13th century it shows French influence. Also check out the capital of Daniel in the lion's den- this done by the master of Cabestany, who's done some other great works around Europe.

Making Pasta
The Hotel Il Giglio Montalcino is a family run hotel that specialises in caring attention to its guests. I was lucky enough to be able to photograph Anna and her mother making Pici for the hotel's restaurant. Pici is a hand made thick spaghetti. It took an hour to make enough pasta for an entree for 8 guests so it is pretty labour intensive. Briefly boiled and rolled in garlic flavoured breadcrumbs with a drizzle of local olive oil ---- fantastic.

- Hiking and Walking
Visit the beautiful Abbey of San Antimo
As you leave Montalcino, you see a beautiful church down the hill. Resist the temptation to drive by and head down the little road to the church. It is the Abbey of San Antimo and is beautiful and peaceful, set in fields of poppies and olives. There are hiking trails and plenty of parking.
The Abbey is open to visitors and some of the services are sung in Gregorian Chant. If you miss it, they do have recordings for sale.
(Click on the little painting to see some photographs of the Abbey.)
Visiting hours are from 6:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. and no payment is required to visit the church. Visits are not allowed during religious services but you may attend the services if you like. Check the web site below for hours of services and more information.

This Abbey is situated some 9 kms. from Montalcino, built at the beginning of the 12th century on the ruins of an old 8th century monastery. Remains of the 8th century building are on one side of the cloister: the finely worked frames and architrave that make up the lateral door of the building. The Abbey, well preserved thanks to recent restoration work, is one of the most brilliant examples of romanesque architecture in Italy
The Abbey is very famous, still not known at all people, for the "Gregorian chant". It is one of the few places in the world for the genuine "Gregorian chant"(Absolutely without music, only human voice). It is known as "The singing stone" for its particular travertin marble of whose its nave is built up. This travertin reflects the voices in a wonderful manner! It's incredible!!
It seems that the stone itself is singing!
Taste one f the best dry reds "on situ"!
The outstanding capacity of the territory of Montalcino to produce high quality wines has been known for many centuries. Nature has bestowed on this land a perfectly balanced environment: the soil, the climate and the exposition are as favourable as could be to the growing of high quality vines, an essential factor in producing the great wines of Brunello and Rosso di Montalcino, which are now recognized as top-ranking Italian wines, and play a unique role in spreading the fame of Italian wine all over the world.
Brunello di Montalcino is a garnet red wine with an intense persistent perfume both generous and ethereal, evoking the scent of undergrowth and berries with a touch of vanilla, composite jam and wood from ageing; it has an elegant and harmonious body with a striking racy flavour, dry and persistent.
Brunello di Montalcino is produced exclusively from Sangiovese grapes (of the species defined in Montalcino as "Brunello"), following the official guidelines laid down by the D.O.C.G. (Denomination of Controlled and Guaranteed Origin) by decree of 1/7/80, which defines all the standards of production such as yield of the vineyard (a maximum of 80 quintals per hectaqre), and the particular quality of the product and also the essential requirements that every plot be subjected to a chemical and organic analysis by the appropriate Commission at the Camera di Commercio di Siena.
Rosso di Montalcino is a ruby red composite both intense and fragrant. It brings to mind the scent of fresh berries and wild plums. It is harmoniusly dry with a fresh, strong and persistent core. It is grown from the same grapes as Brunello, so that both Rosso and Brunello can be obtained from the same vineyards. The Production Authorization of 25/11/83 has established its D.O.C. (Denomination of Controlled Origin) and laid down the production methods and required characteristics of the production.
- Wine Tasting
'Foreign writers living in Italy frequently treat the local people as an exotic species who provide amusing stories for their readers. Sipping cappuccino and supping pasta, rarely do they perceive what is going on around them, nor understand the complexity of life for today's Italians.
Isabella Dusi sold everything she owned to travel half way round the world and settle in Montalcino, a beautiful mountain eyrie famous for its wine and the proud nature of its inhabitants. Her acceptance into this close-knit community was hard-won and has inspired Isabella to capture the true spirit of Montalcino. Vanilla Beans & Brodo tells of the tempestuous and bloody history of this medieval village which has left its mark on the character traits of the Montalcinesi, but also offers a rare insight into the anxiety, joy, fun and intensity of village life.
Isabella takes the reader through the seasons as they unfold in the village, showing the changes that only someone who knows and loves Montalcino would recognise. Vanilla Beans & Brodo reaches a dramatic climax as summer approaches and tensions rise when unpredictable storms threaten to decimate the grape harvest. The story weaves a path around the growing of the splendid Brunello di Montalcino in the sun-drenched valleys, uniting the exquisite wine and deliciously simple Tuscan cuisine as the bedrock of every event in village life.
An evocative story of the rivalry between village neighbourhoods, of football fever and festival pageantry, Isabella destroys the myth that Tuscan villages are tranquil places and instead reveals a life infinitely rich and packed with drama. This moving, often humorous journey will change forever the clichéd image of Tuscany and bring real understanding of the fierce passion of today's Tuscans for their ancient village, their cuisine and their life in Montalcino.

Although Ramona Singer has spoken openly about her troubled childhood and her alcoholic father's abuse, the true extent of what she suffered is revealed in an upcoming episode, when she finally breaks down after years of suppressing her pain.
In a new preview for The Real Housewives of New York City, Singer has a meltdown on a walk with Carole Radziwill, revealing that the Berkshires brought back uncomfortable childhood memories.
"Oh my god. This is f*cking unreal. Now I'm freaking," Singer says, abruptly stopping in the middle of the woods. "This looks exactly like my backyard."
PHOTOS: Secrets & Scandals Of 'Real Housewives of New York City'
Singer opened up to Radziwill about her childhood and what it was like living with a verbally abusive, alcoholic father.
"I believe my father moved us to the country so he could just hurt my mother and the neighbors couldn't hear," she said, recalling the painful memories.
"It brought back memories of my parents arguing, and that's just something I don't want to remember," Singer confessed. "As a child to hear that every day is stressful."
PHOTOS: The Bravo Curse! 10 Reality Stars Who Made All The Wrong Headlines After Appearing On TV
Suddenly, Singer lost it, telling Radziwill she needed to get out of the woods because she felt "someone was going to attack" her.
"I'm having a meltdown… You bury memories so deep, you don't want to remember that," Singer said crying. "I have to go. I have to get out of here, seriously!"
The Real Housewives of New York airs Tuesday nights at 9 p.m. ET on Bravo.

Really enjoyed the adventure, the guides (Mike and Daniel) were very knowledgeable with the history and happenings of the black canyon. The inclusion of the water shooters was a great idea and brought the entire group together for a fun trip.

The parent company of six East Coast supermarket chains is laying off 350 corporate employees in Maine, North Carolina and Florida.
Delhaize America says it's cutting jobs as part of a restructuring effort to reduce general and administrative costs. Delhaize has more than 1,500 stores that include Bottom Dollar Food, Food Lion, Harveys, Hannaford Supermarkets, Reid's and Sweetbay.
Spokesman Mike Norton says the layoffs are primarily at corporate offices in Scarborough, Maine, and Salisbury, N.C., with small numbers at Sweetbay headquarters in Florida.
He says the company is notifying affected employees this week and into next week, and isn't yet revealing the number of job cuts by location.
All of the job cuts are at the corporate level, with no cuts at company stores.

Customer Raves & Reviews
I will order from Magnet Street again!
I ordered my save the dates and wedding invitations from Magnet Street. Save the Dates: I ordered the large save the date magnet with pictures. The finished product was amazing. We received so many complements as to the style and the quality of the magnet. I like the fact that they sent a proof first before they began production. Everything was lined up perfectly and the images were crisp. Invitations: I ordered my invitations in a pearlized paper, unfortunately the design that I chose did not print well on that type of paper. I called Magnet Street's customer service and they were extremely helpful, they checked with the printers and recommended an alternative paper as well as offered to reprint the invitations for free. I was so happy with their level of customer service! The young lady that I was working with offered to call me back, and she did within the specified time frame that she gave. Additionally, they review their orders as they are received and if they have a question about the order they will call you up and clarify as well as make any adjustments necessary. I would definitely order with them again, the reprinted invitations are beautiful and I am so please. One thing I will say, their online application is a bit tricky to use at first, but overall you have so many options for customization, you could get a bit overwhelmed, but you will get what you want. Additionally, I ordered 100 of both the save the dates and 100 invitations and I received extra copies, that was cool as well, maybe they were practice runs but never the less I had a few extra. Finally, their packaging is wonderful, everything comes packed with tissue paper and wrapped in plastic as appropriate and all tucked in a pretty "Tiffany Blue" box.
Loved my invitations!!!
I searched high and low for the perfect wedding invitations at an affordable price. I could never find the colors I wanted or if I did it was not in a style that I liked. Magnet street offered general designs but then the options to make it truly your own. My invitations match my theme and my colors to a T! I was amazed that I found invitations that look like they cost twice as much as I paid. The company makes you go through a review process before making your final purchase ( and it is more thorough than any other place). I received my order in less than 2 weeks in the most adorable keepsake box. My order was nearly packed inside with each item wrapped and not just thrown in. I couldn't be happier with the service and the products that magnet street has to offer. They have won my future business and my referral to all of my friends.
Fourth of July wedding
These were beautiful cards and the price was amazing too. Other sites wanted double and their invitations were not half as nice. The paper is nice and thick the only suggestion is the order a few extra of everything because the last few invites were missing enclosures. I ordered extra just in case too but the invitations are so elegant I don't care if I am few short. You will not be disappointed.
Exactly what I ordered.
They turned out just the way the preview showed they would.
Wedding Invitations
My fiance and I ordered our wedding invitations from MagnetStreet and to be honest we were quite nervous. We were nervous about how they would turn out based on the image we werte shown online. However, when they were delivered, they were perfect! We were concerned about the colors that we had chosen based off of our color scheme for the wedding. We really enjoyed creating the invitations and really making them our own.

OXFORD – The 109th Egg Bowl did not disappoint.
It also sported the longest run in series history.
After Ole Miss took an early 7-0 lead in the first quarter, Mississippi State sophomore wide receiver Jameon Lewis took the ensuing kickoff 100 yards for a score.
It seems that history is repeating itself.
Last year the Starkville High School football team lost to West Point in the regular season, but beat them in the playoffs on route to Jackson.
SHS lost to West Point 47-22 on Sept. 7.
The Yellowjackets followed history and beat the Green Wave 29-28 in an overtime thriller to win the Class 5A North State title at Yellowjacket Stadium.
The Starkville Yellowjackets have been through some tough times on the road back to Jackson.
Not long after losing the Class 5A State championship to Picayune last December, the SHS program was hit with the tragedy of Devin Mitchell's death.
EUPORA – It was a thrilling way to win a North State championship for the Eupora Eagles.
In a back and forth game, the Eagles defeated the Bruce Trojans 31-28 to claim the Class 2A North Half title and advanced to the State championship game.
There won't be any strangers tonight when it comes to the Starkville Yellowjackets and West Point Green Wave meeting on the football field once again.
For the second time this season and fourth time in two seasons, the two rivals play each other.
EUPORA – The Eupora Eagles can move one step closer to their goal of a state championship tonight as the face off with the Bruce Trojans for the Class 2A North State championship.
Kickoff at Eupora High School is set for 7 p.m., and is sure to be a toughly-fought game on both sides.
Mississippi State has found a good mix with its wide receivers this season.
Junior tailback LaDarius Perkins has proven that he can give junior quarterback Tyler Russell a good target in the passing game.
"He knows if he gets matched up on a linebacker, not to many linebackers in the SEC can cover him," Russell said. "I trust him to go up and make a play for me."
Before playing their arch-rival in the Battle for the Golden Egg on Saturday, the Mississippi State Bulldogs will take a little bit of a break from preparation today to enjoy the Thanksgiving holiday with family and teammates.
The West Point Green Wave have one more Class 5A, Region 2 team to go through if they are to realize their goal of playing for a state championship.
West Point (11-2) knocked off Canton 38-0 and Ridgeland 56-21 in the first two rounds of the Class 5A playoffs and make the trip to Starkville Friday night to face the rival Yellowjackets for the North State title at 7 p.m.
EUPORA – As the Eupora Eagles line up against Bruce Friday night, they will be counting on the leadership of its senior athletes.
It will be a young sophomore guiding the Eagles at quarterback.

The BenchWarmers Clique ft. Melodik - Robocop
Artist: The BenchWarmers Clique
Producer: Jewbei
Album: Adventures in 8bit: Cartridge One
Avg Rating: 4.5 ( 22 votes )
I played my share of NES as a youngster, but evidently not as much as The Benchwarmers Clique. On the South Floridian crew's latest single and first Booth feature, UK producer Jewbei's authentic 8-bit boardwork sets the mood as emcees Joka Wild and Travisty the Lazy MC play a little Robocop (Yes, there was a Robocop game on NES—the more you know!). Melodik assists, accompanying the headliners on the record's hook. For more bleeps, bloops and hot rhymes, grab a copy of the Clique's Adventures in 8bit: Cartridge One LP, when it hits the 'net in the near future.

Feng Shui: The Oldest Design System on the Planet
For more than six thousand years, millions around the world have benefited dramatically. Feng Shui is a personal awakening that creates balance in your life. Giving you a deep understanding of your condition and clear definition of what you can do to make positive changes – from sleeping better to better health, and living happier, more prosperous lives.
Kennedy Feng Shui: Solving Two Major Problems
Bringing a feng shui coach into your home or office can be expensive. I've solved that with an online webinar/phone and video conferencing curriculum and coaching at a great price. Instead of someone coming in, telling you what to do and then disappearing, I'll teach you; empowering you with knowledge that will benefit you every day for the rest of your life.
A Personalized BaZi Reading Reveals Your Condition
BaZi is an ancient Chinese astrological system. Your comprehensive reading provides life-altering personal insight into the deepest parts of you. Ridding yourself of limiting beliefs, breaking-through and overcoming challenges, ending bad habits and creating healthier ones. Because with a greater understanding of yourself, everything you dream is possible.
Then Feng Shui is Your Personalized Prescription
Feng Shui is the action plan that puts those better decisions, behavioral suggestions, and environmental tips into practice. This enables you to tap into positive, optimum energy naturally and effectively, all guided by the yin and yang of you; it's your program. There is no one-size-fits-all, Kennedy Feng Shui is about you, and delivered personally one-on-one.
What you Get: How Kennedy Feng Shui Works
You and I feng shui your place as you acquire and refine life-changing knowledge and skills. We work together, one-on-one, for three months and from anywhere in the world. Online, by phone and with video conferencing and ongoing coaching. You'll get two private BaZi Readings, a four-week DIY webinar instruction series, tutoring to answer questions and we feng shui your place together.
Transform your Home and Work Environments
Imagine naturally tapping into positive changes that you'll see in improved relationships, both personal and professional. Leveraging space configured by a personal energy map to use it more effectively, with less stress, enhance relaxation and ease, and remarkably, putting into practices changes that result in greater prosperity and fulfillment.
What Kennedy Feng Shui Clients Say
Real quotes from real clients that experienced real results positively impacting their lives.
"I enrolled in Eileen's course and I asked her to help me with my home office. I hated being in my old office space. Eileen taught me that it was located in the wrong place in my house. I moved it to another room, set it up using the principles Eileen teaches in her course, and now I love it. I'm more productive, feel more energetic, and I'm positive my business is about to explode—all for the cost of Eileen's course and $100 of paint!"—Patti
Patti's home office BEFORE working together virtually, one-on-one:
Patti hated being in her old office. Because she didn't like it, it had become a dumping ground. It also functioned as a guest room with the fold out sofa, pictured in the image on the left. Sleeping where you work is never a good idea because the energy is conflicting and prohibits work and rest. Positioning her desk, tucked behind the closet, facing a wall, was like working in a cave. On a bigger picture, the location of her office in her home was also poor, mixing the energy of personal and professional.
After working with together, virtually, we moved her office to an auspicious room in the front of her house. We set up her office to enhance relaxation, ease, authority and prosperity. She used colors and directions to enhance her personal feng shui. Below are two images from her new home office. She loves her new office and feels a lot more productive and energetic!
Eileen's bazi consultation is a mesmerizing combination of her deep knowledge of the ancient Chinese science and her artistic interpretation. She sheds light on both personal and professional matters with wisdom and compassion. I came away with a better understanding of my gifts and how to cultivate them further. I only wish that I had consulted with her sooner. Highly recommended!—Annie
"My BaZi reading with Eileen was so informative and helpful. She had such insight into my soul. It was amazing. When she described a good place for me to live, it was as if she was describing what I had always dreamed. I can't wait to implement her suggestions and watch my life soar. I am so glad I made this connection. I'm looking forward to her guidance through this third phase of my life."– Jodie
"Eileen, your course helped me become much more aware in my environment and in place of lost hope my husband and I now have a strong plan and I am much more confident about which choices to make in life."—Maya
"Eileen's background in design, art, & architecture enables her to bring a uniquely valuable perspective to the art of Feng Shui. The combination of her expertise, creativity and enthusiasm inspired me to make long-needed changes. I appreciated the skillful way in which she highlighted the strengths of my while making simple actionable suggestions for improvements in key areas based on my goals. Thank you!" J Thom

Jets DT Richardson AP top defensive rookie
New York Jets tackle Sheldon Richardson has won The Associated Press NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year award.
Richardson, the 13th overall pick in April's draft on a selection acquired when New York traded star cornerback Darrelle Revis to Tampa Bay, won a close race over Buffalo linebacker Kiko Alonso. Richardson received 23 votes from a nationwide panel of 50 media members who regularly cover the league. Alonso, a second-round choice (46th overall), got 19 in balloting announced Saturday night.
Often double-teamed as the season wore on, Richardson made 42 tackles and had 3 1/2 sacks. He clogged the running lanes so effectively that the Jets ranked third against the run this season.
He is the fourth Jet to win the award, joining Jonathan Vilma, Hugh Douglas and Erik McMillan.

How Three Colleges Brought Modernist Design to the US
Though modernism was developed in the 1920s, and was popular among many architects by the time the 1930s arrived, in many places it took years for the style to gain favor among clients. In the USA, people often point to the 1922 Chicago Tribune Tower Competition as a turning point, the winning entry was actually a neo-gothic design. In this article, which originally appeared on Curbed, Marni Epstein looks at another potential turning point: three high-profile competitions in the late 1930s where modernist designs were (sometimes controversially) successful.
The Great Depression of the 1930s hit everyone, and hard—even architects and draftsmen found themselves out of work as development and construction dried up amid vanishing capital. They found a partial solution in the Historic American Buildings Survey and Historic American Engineering Record, two programs of Franklin D. Roosevelt's Works Progress Administration that involved surveying and cataloging the country's existing infrastructure. These programs, however, were a long way from the prestige, creativity, and financial rewards that came with new architectural commissions. The work available was limited, and what work existed was focused on the architecture of the past, not designs for the future.
Spotlight: Eliel & Eero Saarinen
Perhaps the most famous father-son duo in the architectural world, Eliel and Eero Saarinen share more than just a last name. The two designers both left profound influences upon the cities where they did their work, both were awarded AIA Gold Medals, and, rather uncannily, both share the very same date of birth. But, when it comes to their architectural stylings, that's where the comparisons end. Find out more about both after the break.
Architecture City Guide: Columbus
This week our Architecture City Guide is headed to Columbus; Indiana that is. We have already made the trip to Columbus, Ohio. This lesser known Columbus only has a population of 44,000 people, but for what it lacks in size it makes up in architecture. Columbus, perhaps, has more notable modern architecture buildings per capita than any city in the United States. In fact, it was much harder narrowing the list down to 12 projects than finding enough for the city guide. With the buildings not on the list, it will be impossible to please everyone. Notably our list doesn't even include Romaldo Giurgola's Columbus East High School, Cesar Pelli's Commons Centre and Mall, and SOM's Republic Newspaper Building. Take a look at the 12 on our list and add your favorites in the comment section below.

Architecture City Guide: Minneapolis
This week our Architecture City Guide is headed to the city stars fall on. With a few notable exceptions, one can hardly be called a starchitect if s/he hasn't designed something in Minneapolis. Since 2005 the starchitects that have fallen on this "City of Lakes" include Jean Nouvel, Herzog & de Mueron, César Pelli, Michael Graves, Steven Holl, and Frank Gehry. This is a surprising number for a city just north of 380,000 people. Few cities of this size could boast as much. What's more our list of 12 is far from complete. There are many wonderful historic and contemporary buildings mixed in with the explosion of starchitecture. Please leave comments of buildings one should not miss when visiting Minneapolis.

Worst freaking liquid pen liner ever. I got this in the color Blackest Black. Pft yeah right. The consistency is very runny and the color is nowhere near black (even on the first use). It disappeared within ten minutes that I put it on my eyes and the brush is a bit too stiff.
Save your money for other eyeliners that could work 10 times better.

This is the worst product of revlon. I just bought it before 2 days, I have to apply it rather I would say have to rub it on my eye lashes for almost 4 times to get the actual black colour and to make it thick... It is a brand new which I bought from one of the mall but it seems that there is no gel inside that pen..Everytime i use i shake it twice, but i could not see the result..I would never recommend any one to buy this.. I lost my money behind this product, would never ever buy any gel or pen from revlon in life.

This is my favourite black eyeliner to use for a winged liner look. It is so easy to use, I can make very thin lines or go as thick as I want. The colour (02 Black/Noir) is perfectly black. It dries very quickly and then doesn't budge, until I remove it at night. The pen also lasts a very long time. I keep expecting mine to dry out, but it just keeps on going. This is my second one in a year and a half.
I clean my tip with an alcohol swab. Be careful when replacing the cap, as sometimes it seems as though it is on, but it hasn't clicked into place yet. I recommend this liner to beginners, as it makes lining the eyes so easy. This liner is not suitable for use on the waterline.

I bought this because one of my favorite beauty gurus on Youtube recommended this product as a way to make winged/cat-eye liner much easier. It does make drawing a wing easier, giving me better control than many felt-tip liners. However, I find the narrow pen tip makes it tough for me to get a thick, dark line on my actual eyelid. It takes a lot longer for me using this narrow pen tip to get a line with the thickness I want.
Also, I don't know if I just got a bad one, but mine has a veeerrry strog odor. It's the strongest-smelling makeup product I own, and not in a good way. I won't be repurchasing.

I am in love with this eyeliner. I'll start with color. I had gotten a black one and it i just the most amazing thing ever. All the other ones are just as great quality but I had purchased the blackest black one and on me it turned out brown. On paper it turned out black. I was very confused. It happened to my cousin too but she didn't mind it so i gave it to her since that annoys me. If you don't close the cap correctly(hear the click) it could dry out. The felt tip can get dirty since its a pen but that doesn't affect the color in any way. I can create thick and thin lines. It is so easy to use. It stays on all day for my upper lashline. If i put t on my lower lashline it doesn't seem to stay but I rarely do that d it doesn't matter to me. I use this everyday for a day look since it doesn't come out too dark or bold do it doesn't create very bold looks but it gives you that sweet look. You could use it as a guideline since it is very easy to use and control. I am very picky about my eyeliners so when I find one I like it is like I found my missing half <3

I am surprised at the low rating! I have bought this pen twice because I absolutely love the felt tip on the pen!! I cannot find anything that works as well. I find it better than the L'Loreal Lineur Intense that everyone seems to rave about. I am more for the "muted cat eye" so I do not like intense black for my cat eye. So this actually fits me well. I will buy again :)

The package says, "glides on smoothly and wears for up to 16 hours." FALSE ADVERTISEMENT! It does neither. The colour isn't opaque or intense at all no matter how many times you go over it. Even if you wait 10+ minutes for it to dry, it comes right off with a dab of a tissue. Truly the worst liner I have ever tried.

For over-40 slightly crepey and partially droopy eyelids, this product is a no-no. It took several passes before I was able to achieve a decent line. Then, even after I thought it was dry, my eyelid's normal movement caused the line to fray, causing quite a mess. After a few more passes to correct the problem, I realized it was getting worse. After fixing my eyeshadow to cover the mistakes, I went over it with my Bobbi Brown gel liner in black. Once I got to work, my eyelids were super irritated. This might be a good product for 20-somethings and possibly for use under the eye and/or to refresh my liner during the day as an additional layer. Otherwise, skip it.

OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) -- Gov. Chris Gregoire is preparing to approve a new state operating budget that relies on cuts to education to fill a $5 billion budget shortfall.
The budget is part of a long list of key bills that Gregoire is scheduled to take action on Wednesday afternoon. She could veto parts or all of the bills. State Auditor Brian Sonntag is asking her to veto plans to take money away from a performance-audit fund.
Other bills on Gregoire's agenda include the state's construction budget, an overhaul of the state's workers' compensation system and new limits on the state's debt.
The operating budget includes pay cuts for both teachers and state employees while relying on double-digit tuition increases to help fund higher education.

I was looking for an inexpensive room near the New Bern/Vanceboro area where my girlfriend and I could have a quiet Valentine's Day getaway, and the Magnuson was perfect. The room was nice and clean, nobody bothered us, and they actually still allow smoking in certain rooms (which was a plus considering the cold weather.) It's definitely not a 5-star resort, but it's not a shady flophouse either. I would not have a problem bringing children there, but we definitely felt that this was a great place for grown people who don't need chocolates on their pillows to cut loose and have a good time without being judged or frowned upon.
Very friendly staff and conveniently located in city. Staff provided great suggestions on places to eat.
The room air conditioning / heater unit was loud.
Room wasn't very clean, facility was old and run down.
Clean room
Friendly staff
I had no complaints
Very close to restaurants
Somewhat isolated.
Hard time checking in.
Room was clean.Bed was comfortable, All in all, for $---- bucks, it was an o.k. deal.
No micro wave in room.Toilet paper roll holder was hanging out of the wall by (I think) a screw.
the room design
there was a bug in my shower. and the Continental breakfast was only snacks
The location was good. The rooms are sound proof. And the breakfast bar was pretty good.
The cost.
Room 204 haddirty sheets, then we were moved to Room 206 and one of beds had dirty sheets, the tub was dirty, and there was no elevator. The clerk did not seem surpised and not not apologize until we requested to check out.

A `Oia – Slack Key Style
The first time I saw Kimo Hussey perform was at the ampitheatre space at Ward Warehouse in Honolulu, where he conducted a kanikapila based on the He Mele Aloha songbook. I was just beginning my exposure to Hawaiian music and I still remember his wonderful performance of his jazzy `ukulele instrumental of A `Oia. It turned out that Kimo had been part of the team that published He Mele Aloha and John Almeida's A `Oia was the very first song in the book. I remember gazing at the parade of chords that accompanied the song and feeling sure that I would never find them all on the slack key guitar. (more…)

July 27, 2013
By Emily Jarrett
Democrat Reporter
Nearly one year to the day the Sedalia Public Library closed due to structural problems, plaster and dust still coat every surface. Buckets, paintersÆ tape and tools are stacked in each room, electrical wires hang from the ceiling and piles of construction debris are swept into corners.
The library may be in rough shape ascetically but structurally things are sound, said Library Director Pam Hunter.
ōItÆs better, much much better than what it was, even though it may not look like it right now,ö she said. ōWeÆre getting there.ö
What started as a simple $4,000 tuckpointing necessity last July has ballooned into a $1.5 million project that will see a complete renovation of the 102-year-old libraryÆs southwest corner, extensive pier work on the corner as well as the front section of the building and brand new paint throughout.
Cracks in the walls
Last July cracks were first found in the buildingÆs southwest corner after a construction worker hired to do some tuckpointing work found ōcracks wide enough to stick a fist through,ö Hunter said. After closing the entire west wing, Hunter and the Library Board approached the Sedalia City Council about paying for half of the repair costs, then estimated to be $25,000 each, a number Hunter laughs at now.
ōIt seemed so simple then,ö she said. ōBut, like with any construction project, the more you dig the more things you find that need to be fixed. Originally we thought it was just the corner but then the engineers found the entire west wing was moving and the floors were pulling away from the walls.ö
On Aug. 22, 2012 the library was closed ōfor six monthsö while work could be finished at a price tag of $750,000. Around the same time crews found the original peers did not extend all the way to bedrock and would have to be re-dug and the front stairs were pulling away from the wall.
ōIt seemed like every time we had a price, had a handle on what needed to be fixed, something else would go wrong,ö Hunter said. ōEspecially on the original corner that had all the problems. They took the terra cotta tiles off the outside and found the brick underneath was crumbling so that had to be completely replaced.ö
Weather also slowed down construction and heavy snows in February cracked some of the rafters in the roofs, though those costs were paid for by insurance. By June, however, all of the major construction work was finished.
ōThereÆs still a lot of work that needs to be done, but thankfully all the piering work is finished and the big things are checked off,ö Hunter said. ōRight now weÆve still got to finish the southwest corner and the basement.ö
Work in the basement, which houses the childrenÆs section, was most severe. Crews had to rip up the flooring to finish pier work and then filled in the area with good dirt fill, rather than the clay that had been there previously.
ōThat was part of the problem because clay expands and contracts, raising the floor with it,ö Hunter said. ōThatÆs all been fixed now though and we wonÆt have those problems anymore.ö
A $1.5 million price tag
Throughout the construction, questions of who would pay for the libraryÆs fix were debated. The library is a city-owned building but acts independently with its own board. However with a total yearly budget of approximately $500,000 there was no way the library could finance the entire project on its own. Late last year the board approved a measure that saw $1.5 million bond added to a city bond already in progress to pay for the repairs of the Washington Avenue bridge and building a new Fire Station No. 2. To help pay the debt service payments, approximately $110,000 a year, the library asked voters to approve a .07-cent per $100 increase in assessed valuation, a measure that was overwhelmingly approved during the April 2 municipal election.
ōWithout that approval we would have had to look closely at cutting library services,ö Hunter said. ōSo we were pretty relieved when the public voted to make sure the library would be able to continue operating at the level we have been.ö
Hunter said the library will start seeing that extra tax money come in near the end of November and its first partial debt service payment which must be paid in August, approximately $55,000, has already been budgeted.
ōWeÆve also been very fortunate that State Fair Community College is allowing us to ærentÆ the old McLaughlin Furniture Bros. building as our temporary library for a $1,ö Hunter said. ōThat was something I and the board worried about Ś where we were going to locate when the library was going through construction.ö
SFCC, which owns the downtown building, offered the space for the library last August and since Oct. 1 library patrons have been able to access about two-thirds of the libraryÆs collection, as well as computers and reference materials. The move was hectic, Hunter said, and complicated by the fact that most of the libraryÆs shelving is built-in.
ōThe Mid-Continent Public Library system donated portable shelving for us, which was very generous of them,ö she said. ōMoving back should be a little easier, weÆll be able to pack the boxes by shelves and put them right back on the original shelves, rather than having to create a whole library from scratch.
ōI will tell you. I donÆt want to move another library in my lifetime,ö she added with a laugh.
ōA brand new building ...ö
During a tour of the library on Friday, Hunter pointed out where the new flooring and carpeting will be put down and the different areas that have been fixed. Construction workers uncovered an original skylight in the hallway leading to the fiction section, Hunter said, and while they wonÆt cut the roof to make it a true skylight, there will be frosted glass and backlighting to give patrons that impression.
ōWeÆre also using all the construction and moving around to our advantage to repaint the entire library,ö she said. ōIn my 12 years here it hasnÆt been completely repainted so weÆre getting rid of the dark green walls and painting it a lighter color. Everything will be fresh and new when we reopen.ö
That reopening date is still up in the air, though Hunter hopes to be completely moved in and ready by October. Once all the construction, plastering and painting work is finished crews will come in and do a much-needed thorough cleaning on the shelves and books left behind and Hunter said there will likely be a grand re-opening celebration.
ōThis past year of construction has been hectic and completely turned the library upside,ö she said. ōBut once everything is finished, itÆll be like weÆre in a brand-new library. WeÆre just hoping the next few months go smoothly and we can get back to our building.ö

It's a fun episode, though Toli and I conclude the episode discussing the early morning hour games (I'm less than a fan of being up at 3 or 7 to follow along, so I've relied on the web and replays) that come with the Olympics...and touch on Women's Hockey...To which I say I'd be more of a fan if I had an avenue to invest the time to love that aspect of the game that isn't a 2 week tournament yearly (World Championships), or the big one we worry about every 4 years (the Olympics). It may be controversial, but I'm open to the conversation.

First removed and checked the ignighter. It was fine. Next I located the schematic drawing and discovered that the burner, ignighter, and flame detector were all operated by one simple 110 volt circuit. This circuit did not power up when the dryer was cycled on. I pulled the dryer from the wall, removed the back panel, the vent etc. I then located the operating thermostat and the thermal fuze. The thermal fuze was open. (GOOD NEWS AN EASY FIX!!!) Thanks Guys
