In yet another incident which raises concerns about women's safety on trains, a 25-year old manager with a chemical firm was assaulted and robbed off her valuables inside a local between Mira Road and Bhayender stations on Thursday morning. Apurva Chakraborty, who had to go to Nashik for official work, boarded an empty women's compartment of a Western Railway local at Bhayender station before dawn. There was no policeman in the compartment, as is mandatory.
When the train halted at Mira Road station around 4.30am, a man believed to be in his late 30s boarded the compartment and repeatedly hit Apurva on the head with a stick. With blood oozing from her head, the Bhayender resident began screaming for help, but there was no railway official on the platform to offer help. "Aapko jo chaahiye woh le lo, par mujhe mat maro," she told the man. As the train began moving, the assailant pulled out her bangles, snatched her chain and escaped from platform number 2 at Dahisar station in the early morning darkness.
"The woman had her back towards the door and hence, did not realise when the man boarded the train at Mira Road station. He hit her with a stick and robbed her," said Shivaji Bagal, senior inspector of the Borivli railway police. A Vasai government railway police (GRP) official said: "The woman was alone in the compartment when she was robbed off valuables worth Rs31,500. She was slapped several times and even fell unconscious."
After the train reached Dahisar, on-duty police officials took Apurva to Karuna Hospital for treatment. She received five stitches for the head injuries she sustained. A resident of Krishna Park Housing Society in Rahul Park at Bhayender (East), Apurva lodged a complaint with the Borivli GRP under section 349 (voluntarily causing hurt in committing robbery) of the Indian Penal Code. The case has been transferred to Vasai.
The absence of policemen in women's compartments and railway officials at stations raises several questions pertaining to the safety of women travelling on trains.

EATING OUT With its wide range of options Anarchy comes quite close to satisfying food-lovers
Working in Gurgaon is quite mechanical where even your sign in and sign out timings are monitored. Youngsters have to abide by the rules and hang an ID card around their neck throughout the day. One might be busy but has to complete the working hours and report to the team leader to draw the salary. So after spending long hours of the day controlled by others the only relief is Anarchy .Justifying the name hardly a month-old club & lounge located right in the centre of Global Business Park Anarchy is a place to live life to the fullest, have good food, hangout with friends and live freely.
Divided into two levels, Anarchy has an imposing bar and multi-cuisine restaurant on the ground floor that has a seating capacity for 80 people and a classy golden tinge lounge at the mezzanine. I saw a group of corporate professionals having a weekend party but most of them entered hungry and just wanted to hog on to food first rather than dance to the tappy tunes of the in-house DJ.
I sipped a piping hot Tom Kha chicken soup to start with. Described as galangal infused with chicken strips but it was the other way round. Infused with chicken and loaded with galangal to such an extent that it started hitting my throat. Pesto marinated chicken served on a skewer with green olive had nice flavour and freshness though the use of boneless breast made it a bit dry. BBQ chicken wings one of the most favourite delicacy in most of the lounges had a nice balance of flavours. But the best amongst the three was crispy rice fried prawns. Nice tender crunchy prawn was a perfect finger starter.
As I turned the menu page, it had Indian offerings as well. Best was to order a non-vegetarian platter and I did the same. Malai tikka and mutton seekhs were to be cherished though the tandoori murgh was too spicy. Fish tikka was bland and just flavourless. For main course stuffed mushroom chicken was yummy but its Indian counterparts were not even worth a bite. For burger and pizza lovers Anarchy offers to create your own burger and pizza option. Ending with a warm brownie topped with a scoop of vanilla seemed to be a wise decision.
Meal for two: Rs. 1600

A 3D defense game
OK, there aren't many tweaks left in the tower defense genre, so you would expect of Defense Technica to be a yet-another mainstream tower defense game. For better or worse, it isn't, as it incorporates elements from collectible card games and traditional defense gaming, thence creating something somehow new but requiring a throughout tutorial before actually diving into the game.
Graphics are fairly above average and are truly zoominable 3D, and there's even an attempt to frame the action within a storyline. Upgrade system is quite complex, so if you're looking for the standard and straightforward defense game of "raise towers and sat back", it'd be better you look elsewhere. For those who stay, don't miss the help menu, as it also works as a compilation of Technica's lore.
Perhaps it's to soon to say this game will set the new standard in tower defense gaming, but have for sure that competitors will have to take it into account.Developer's original description available here

Hadn't play tower defence for a while, like the changing path. Difficulty is good too.
Adds a new facet to the genre. Plays well on a phone and looks great. Ads seem to be minimal. So far so good.

Doc "stuck" in TextEdit
I had a file open in TextEdit, saved it, and later put the machine to sleep with the document still open. The next day, after waking the machine I went to quit TextEdit and received a message asking if I wanted to save or revert changes before quitting. Since I hadn't made any (intentional) changes I tried to revert changes but get the message "This operation couldn't be completed. (GSLibraryErrorDomain error 2.)" I didn't want to save the file because I was afraid that any inadvertent changes might have an adverse effect. I force quit TextEdit thinking that would just leave the file unchanged on the drive (or corrupt it horribly). However, whenever I restart TextEdit that same doc always reopens automatically and I cannot figure out how to get out of this loop. I've checked permissions on the file and even rebuilt disk perms, but still no luck. Any help is appreciated.
|May 21, 2013, 11:03 AM
Normal behaviour is for an app to reopen the documents open when it quit, of course. You can turn this off in System Preferences. It's also possible to launch the app with a meta-key held down to force no docs -- I can't remember which one -- try Command, alt, and ctrl.
The error message, a quick Google reveals, is a problem with the Versioning -- the way that versions of the file are auto-saved every 5 mins.
Repair Permissions does NOTHING for user files. It is NOT your go-to-guy for every problems in OS X. I would however boot to another volume (e.g. Recovery Partition) and Repair the Drive, just in case you have some disk problems.

By Sevak Sarkisian: Danny Garcia is a young fighter at the age of only 24. He became the new WBC Jr welterweight world champion this past March by defeating the legendary Erik Morales by a unanimous decision. Morales was obviously way past his prime, however he was still a world class opponent and by far the best opponent Garcia has faced thus far in his young career. Morales did give Garcia some trouble in the early rounds, and did win a few of them.
However, the fight became more one sided in Garcias favor as the fight progressed. That fight taught us more about Garcia then any of his fights because of the quality of the opponent.
I have little choice but to question his ring IQ because for a good portion of that fight Garcia was unwilling to impose his size and strength advantage.. Instead he gladly was willing to make the fight a chess match which was beneficial to his opponent in this case. Another thing I didnt like was the fact that Garcia seemed reluctant to get his punches off against the aging veteran. Especially in the early going he simply was not throwing enough punches in my humble opinion. If he doesnt turn up his punch output he will get destroyed against Khan. He also has to use his physicality against Khan. The two things he failed to do against Morales, he will have to do against Kahn. The reason why I say Garcia has to throw more punches and use his physicality is because we all know that Amir Khan doesnt fight well going backwards.
This was evident in his winning effort against Marcos Maidana, and in his loss against Lamont Peterson. Khan was visibly having a rough time dealing with a strong fighter coming forward. Khan has to learn how to box without making it look like he is running. He has extremely fast hands but it would do him good if he could get better at boxing in closer when he has to. He seems to always have the size advantage when he fights, but somehow it seems hes able to get physically bullied by anyone who presses forward.
However, I honestly dont like Garcias chances against Amir Khan, especially at this stage of his young professional career. I believe Khans experience and his willingness to throw a lot of punches will result in a well-deserved decision win for Amir Khan.

It is an herbal formula that was used since 1922 by Canadian nurse Rene Caisse in helping poeple with serious illness. The original formula was passed on to her by an Ojibway medicine man. The active botanicals in ESSIAC have been used independently in naturopathic medicine for hundreds of years to help cleanse the blood and nourish individual cells, enhancing their strength and integrity.
The herbs in this formulation have helped to restore health to thousands of people worldwide with no adverse side effects. They have been proven to be perfectly safe and effective to take in conjunction with, and to supplement, other therapies or medications. Other products on the market may claim to have the same botanicals as ESSIAC. Some use misleading brand names. A few even call themselves the original, illegally. ESSIAC from Resperin Corporation is the only true ESSIAC herbal formula that has been shown to be effective since 1922. Always look for the Resperin name, Rene Caisse's picture and her authorized signature on the bottle to be sure you are getting the original ESSIAC formula.
Herbal therapy is an organic non-toxic drug free herbal therapy that is an effective blood liver and lymph cleanser helps break down nodular masses and purifies the blood relieves pain and increases antibodies.
Burdock root extract (Arctium lappa), sheep sorrel leaves extract (Rumex acetosella), slippery elm bark extract (Ulmus fulva), indian rhubarb root extract (Rheum officinale), purified water, alcohol and citric acid.

This green drink has really boosted my immunity system. I feel a change in my health, and i get more energy. I highly recommend this product . It has refreshing water melon flavor.
It helps in creating harmony in the body and improves metabolism. It was gluten free and yummy. This is my third order of the product. I just love to have it.
I've tried several different Ginseng products and this is by far my favorite. It does have a positive therapeutic effect. I've had no negative side effects.
This Cider extract is very spicy, so it's easier to take if you mix it in some tomato or V8 Juice. Take at the first sign of a cold.
The company advertised an 8 oz. bottle of Wild Cherry Bark Syrup for $4.97.
It also advertised an 8oz. bottle with several different herbs added for $9.45. The both bottles are identical if you read the labels. I ordered 4 of the $4.97 bottles and received 4oz. bottles. They did send me a return label but now claim they didn't receive the return pkg. And they don't have the items i ordered in stock contrary to their internet site which said both in stock. Needless to say i will never use this company again.

Mark & I have lived full-time on this island for 8 years and started out renting vacation homes for vacations here too. North Captiva was the first place we ever rented a whole vacation home; we had always stuck to hotels, cheaper apartment hotels, and condos to rent for vacations. We did vacation in Florida a lot, though. Massachusettes and New Hampshire are really cold in the winter.
For our first rental on the island.. we stayed ... just the 2 of us, close to the beach. Well no matter the house, renting a whole home was just perfect. We grilled every meal even breakfast on a screen porch by the sea. (Fresh Wild Mango Quesadillas of course!)
Our Vacation Property, Windswept, is proudly; Owned, Booked, Maintained, and Managed by US the OWNERS. We take pride in our properties. We strive to take superior care of our property and provide you with the BEST BEACH Vacation Rentals EVER!
Kind regards,
Wendy & Mark Muller
Owners of Windswept North Captiva
'just sending you a reminder of how thankful we are for the exceptional service you provided to ensure we had the vacation of a lifetime. - Shelli Harrigan 2009'
Mark & Wendy Muller purchased this house in 2004
Loved it from the get go... buying all of our supplies and heading to the beach for a long weekend. Renting a whole house was something we would always try to do from then on. We had it down to a science though... since we would fly in to Orlando or Ft Lauderdale and drive around a bit on our way here, we always had 3 or 4 soft sided coolers (made of fabric) folded them up and packed them inside 1 cooler bag with masks and snorkles and deflated air mattresses. This cooler bag- we checked it. At Publix we just unpacked the coolers and stuffed them with grocery supplies.
Vacations on North Captiva require less stuff then mainland vacations. You wear your swimsuits most of the time, flip flops are best instead of shoes :) and every home has laundry- so you could wear 2 or 3 outfits the whole time and just wash 'em. Now that is freedom... that is relaxation. Just stretching yourself out on the sand.
We know you will have a great vacation here. When explaining a vacation at Windswept on North Captiva... we always try to imagine what it would be like to be discovering this island for the treasure that it really is for the first time again. Mostly we just think of how many beautiful and unique things are collected into one gorgeous spot.. not well known... undiscovered if you will, and that may be what makes it so beautiful.
The best reasons to enjoy a vacation at Windswept are definitely the location, the house, the privacy, and the heated pool. Few others will ever see North Captiva from your vantage at Windswept, with the sun rising at one side of the property till the sun sets at the other.
Windswept is on the private island directly to the North of the islands of Sanibel and Captiva. As most would say, we are like Sanibel and Captiva islands were 50 years ago, before the bridges. 'Cut-off' to some degree, but this makes the island all the more special. Plenty to do here with fishing, beach combing, shelling, boat rentals, etc., but what is also just as alluring is what is NOT available.
Thank you again for helping to make the perfect vacation. We wish you laughter and prosperity in 2012.
We just returned from our first visit to North Captiva Island and Windswept. We had an amazing time in a very beautiful place. The house is exactly as pictured and described, and Mark and Wendy are incredibly helpful and responsive to any questions and issues.
North Captiva has some unique qualities, you need to take the water taxi to the island, and we elected to have our groceries delivered. There are only a couple of on-island restaurants, but with the large and well stocked kitchen at Windswept, cooking your own meals is a breeze ( literally, with the island breeze coming through the windows).
Highly recommend this house and location, and Mark and Wendy as owners.
This was our second visit to North Captiva - it cemented that this is our favorite Florida getaway. What we loved about Windswept is how much Mark and Wendy make it feel like home. The kitchen is amazingly well organized and stocked. (Wendy even has a map of the kitchen with where everything is/belongs). Need a food processor - they have one. Need a spice you forgot to bring with you - they probably have it.
When you want to entertain yourself or the family - they have it covered. The selection of movies if there's a rainy day (we certainly didn't have any but did have movie night) is very complete with recent movies, favorite movies and classic movies. Plus there is a closet full of games to make family time fun time.
We love North Captiva and what it brings to our family. On this trip we spent time with a family of manatees, kayaked to see amazing birds, dolphins, stingrays and flying fish. We spent a lot of time at Mango's with Suzy, Matt and Yanni (world's best bartenders). We were also blessed, because we stayed at Windswept, right on the border of the sate park, to see the bobcats. This is the perfect place to connect with family and disconnect from the world (although the wifi worked perfectly). We would highly recommend Windswept as your home for the perfect vacation.
Mark and Wendy have an amazing home they are willing to generously share at an affordable price with others while still maintaining high quality of service. Their amenities they offer, just in their home, were completely unexpected! Two beautiful washers and dryer units, comforts of home from spices in the chef's kitchen to the choices of gas or charcoal grilling with table outside. Traveling by plane does not offer a lot of room for bringing many items and Mark and Wendy keep it affordable with many unexpected stocked items.
We initially were interested in Windswept because of the beauty of the home and what sold us was the hospitality of Mark and Wendy even before our arrival. Having never been to North Captiva was a little unsettling on not knowing what to expect and how to prepare. Every phone call and every question was answered in patience and kindness even when their normal duties as parents were carrying on.
Windswept is all that is pictured on their website. I hesitantly recommend only because I always want it to be available for rent to us! Of course, I say that with humor and a little truth too though. Mark and Wendy personally showed us how everything worked in their home from the media to the appliances. No worries about restful sleep; the beds were amazing and gave much welcomed rest after each day of adventure. The bathrooms were filled with towels, first aid, hair dryers, etc. along with refreshing showers and Jacuzzis to ease the muscles from miles of exploration.
Mark and Wendy were always available for questions, but thankfully no problems occurred. Their relationship with NCIC must be top notch as check in and check out was already completed by them. The round home with the complete deck surrounding always gave us access to the beautiful sunrises and sunsets along with the occasional yell down to the pool for our kids to come up for dinner. Each morning our family would meet in the outdoor living room with coffee for event planning and laughing over memories of the previous days. My dad found serenity in reading out there as well. The eagles nest captured an awesome view of the water on both sides of North Captiva while the "savannah" sets as your footstool with many paths that lead to the ocean, either for walking or bike riding.
The golf carts were a blast to ride around in. If you are looking for quality, beauty, comfort, clean, and elegance with the warmth of the beach, Windswept is the place to stay. The Ciccos'
This was our fourth visit to North Captiva and our first to Windswept. It was the perfect house for our group of 8: 6 adults and 2 teens. We found the opportunity to stay in such a unique circular home a big part of our vacation island experience. My husband and I liked using the kitchen which was the best appointed of any rental property we had experienced. Also, the immediate view from the stove or counter was of the living area with our family watching TV, playing games or doing jigsaws and then the bigger view out through the expanse of windows was of the nature preserve and sunsets spread out before us. My adult children enjoyed lounging by Windswept's pool or swimming in the perfect temperature water. My teens loved hanging out on the various levels of the tower on their phones, taking pictures, sorting through the shells they had collected and sunbathing. The house was full of extras like a basket of sun hats, a cupboard of games, great movie selections and plentiful beach towels. And the double washers and dryers in the house were easy to use and convenient. Best of all, Wendy and Mark welcomed us at the dock and were available by cell for help with a golf cart, advice on where to see manatees and even gave my husband construction adhesive to fix his blown out Chaco! They live and work on the island and we enjoyed getting to know them. And we took their recommendation and got Sandies' grocery service, de-stressed this mom's vacation! Can't image a way the week could have been better.
Spent Spring Break with two other families; 6 adults and 6 teenagers. Had a wonderful time at Windswept and on the island. Great home - well equipped with everything. Mark and Wendy were great to work with before, during and after our stay. This island is fabulous - good fishing, so much wildlife and a truly easy-going feel.
There were 3 different families in our party and we had a truly memorable holiday. Just what was needed after 4 hectic days in New York-complete peace and relaxation. Wendy and Mark were efficient, friendly and very helpful. Windswept is a beautiful property and you really feel like you are staying somewhere a little bit special and different. The house is fitted out to a really high standard and it feels vey homely-not like a lot of rentals that are functional but a bit soulless. Love getting about on golf carts, the proximity of the beaches and all of the natural wonders around us-including the bioluminescence we stumbled across in the sea at night.
Would love to go back.....
Walking and jogging trails in Preserve lead to miles of beaches. Windswept located right at beginning of the trails. 2 jogger style strollers, perfect for beaches, are included for your use during the rental vacation.

Stop blaming Bush for DHS hit job
Ed Morrissey nails the buck-passers on the DHS rightwing extremism assessment:
First, while the Bush administration might have wanted an assessment of right-wing extremist threats, it didn't necessarily want one that painted returning veterans and conservative thought on abortion, illegal immigration, and federalism as extremist threats, nor did it want a threat assessment that couldn't find a threat and had no data on actual, specific groups. Secondly, and most obviously, this report was dated April 7, 2009, almost 3 months after Bush left office.
Just when does the new administration take responsibility for reports they release? 2013? For people who thought Bush was such a dunce, they seem to give him remarkable powers to control government months after he's retired to Crawford.
Now we see that this wasn't just left lying around from the Bush administration. In fact, it was such a rush job that Janet Napolitano couldn't wait to resolve the obvious civil-liberty concerns raised by her own lawyers before shoving it out the door. Napolitano would later have to backtrack on the exact same language flagged by the attorneys by claiming that she didn't specifically approve the report issued by her office and that she would have changed the language in hindsight. She had the opportunity to fix it before its release, but the completely threadbare report was deemed such a high priority that it went out anyway.
Related thought of the day from Michael Graham: Janet Napolitano was right. There were "hatemongers" at the Tea Parties: MSM reporters!

Boise State softball enters Mountain West play with a 21-18 record after sweeping three games from Nevada in Reno. The senior class leads the charge, as Rebecca Patton has pitched in 32 of the 39 games with 18 wins and two saves. Tara Glover has 11 hits in the last six games.
San Jose State Scouting Report
Allison Lang, Madison Fish and Katelyn Linford have shared the pitching load for San Jose State in 2014. Lang and Fish were part of a supporting cast last season, as departed senior Amanda Pridmore pitched in 50 of the 59 games, winning 29, saving seven and registering a 1.69 ERA. Lang has produced the best numbers thus far, posting an 8-4 record with a 2.78 ERA in 88 innings. Linford has seen slightly more action, tossing 88.1 innings to the tune of an 8-9 record with a 4.91 ERA. Lately, however Fish has gotten the call, pitching a team-high 24.2 innings in Mountain West play. All three pitchers have appeared in six conference games with two wins apiece. None of the trio features overpowering strikeout numbers, Linford leads the way with 4.04 punch outs per seven innings. Fish is the least likely to walk a batter, with just 16 in 58.1 innings.
First baseman Jessie Hufstetler comes in with a .452 batting average, tops in the Mountain West and No. 14 nationally. Hufstetler's 52 hits are also the most in the MW while her 29 walks rank third. The Spartans are hitting .309 as a team on the season, including a .345 mark in Mountain West play. Six Spartans have at least 10 hits in nine MW games, including Jessica Garcia who has 12 hits, three homers, 11 RBI and nine walks. Garcia has driven in 45 runs on the year, ranking among the NCAA leaders.
Season Outlook
San Jose State came into the Mountain West after conquering the WAC in 2013. The Spartans went 42-17 on their way to claiming WAC regular-season and tournament titles and a berth in the NCAA Tournament. They entered 2014 looking to replace all-region pitcher Amanda Pridmore who won 29 games with a 1.69 ERA last season. Still, SJSU tied for fourth in the Mountain West preseason coaches' poll. The Spartans have won their first three MW series, taking two out of three from UNLV, Utah State and New Mexico. Four of their six wins have come in run-rule fashion, while two of the three losses came in extra innings. SJSU started the season 7-0 before dropping 11 of its next 15, including a pair of five-game skids. Six of the 11 losses came against teams ranked in the top 16 at the time.
All-Time Series History
Boise State leads the all-time series 7-4. The Broncos and Spartans have only met as conference opponents, squaring off in three series as WAC opponents and twice in the WAC Tournament. SJSU took two of three in 2009 before the Broncos beat them that year in the postseason tournament, starting the current run of six of the last eight games going to Boise State. The Broncos took two out of three in 2010 and 2011, while also beating the Spartans in the 2010 tournament. Both meetings in the WAC Tournament went to extra innings.
Glover Breaks Career Hits Record
Senior Tara Glover broke the Boise State career hits record April 4, against UNLV. Glover, in just her third season with the Broncos, surpassed Holly Bourke's mark of 191. Glover needed just 140 games to break the record. She now has 201 hits, becoming the first Bronco to reach 200 in her career. The Grants Pass, Ore., native has 256 hits for her collegiate career.
Off and Running
Boise State has stolen a school-record 78 bases through the first 39 games of the season. The Broncos are 78-of-94 on steal attempts. They stole 46 bases all of last season. The previous school record for steals in a season was 77, set in 61 games in 2010. Boise State is closing in on the all-time MW record of 87. Tara Glover and Mackenzie Whyte lead the charge with 26 and 18 steals, respectively. Glover is no stranger to thievery, with a school-record 71 stolen bases in her Boise State career and 87 in her collegiate career. Whyte's emergence is less expected. She had 14 stolen bases in the first three years of her career, combined.
Base Thief
Senior Tara Glover is 71-for-78 on stolen base attempts in her Boise State career, owning the school record for steals and stolen base percentage. She set the single-season record with 18 in 2012, before breaking it again last year when she went 27-of-28 on the base paths. Glover is 26-for-29 this season. Including her freshman year at Utah, Glover has stolen 87 bases, third in Mountain West history (she was a MW student-athlete while at Utah). Her 87 steals rank No. 13 in the country among active players.
Glover Earns MW POW
Senior Tara Glover was named the Mountain West Player of the Week for the week of April 7-13. Glover ignited the Boise State offense in a series sweep of Nevada with four hits, four stolen bases and three runs scored. She scored in each game, including a home run in the opener as the Broncos won 1-0. It is her first weekly honor of the year and fourth of her career.
Patton Shouldering the Load
Redshirt senior pitcher Rebecca Patton has been the workhorse for the Broncos. Patton leads the Mountain West in appearances (32), starts (27) and innings pitched (181.0). She has thrown in 32 of Boise State's 39 games, including 11 of 12 conference games. She has 18 wins and two saves on the year (factoring in the decision in 20 of Boise State's 21 wins). Patton has matched the school record with 19 complete games this season, three of which have been shutouts. Her 181 innings pitched are already a career high and 20 shy of setting a school record.
Patton's Gem at Nevada in Rarefied Air
Rebecca Patton tossed a three-hit shutout in the series opener at Nevada (April 11). Patton carried a no-hitter into the sixth inning. She wound up with her third shutout of the season, Boise State's first 7-inning shutout in a conference game since 2010 (May 8 at Nevada). It was just the second time in school history a Boise State pitcher held a no-hitter through five innings. The other was the only no-hitter by a Bronco, Aubray Zell's five-inning no-hitter March 4, 2011, against Southern Utah.
Road Sweep No Small Feat
Boise State took all three games at Nevada, April 11-13, its first road sweep as a Mountain West member. It was just the third time the Broncos have swept a conference road series in program history. The last came April 22-23, 2011, at Hawai'i, the first time anybody had swept the Rainbow Wahine on the islands since 2005. The only other road sweep was when the Broncos took three games from Utah State in Logan, Utah, March 20-21, 2009, the first conference series in program history.

That was not condescending in any way whatsoever. His answer did two things:
1. Informed everyone that there was no DVD version currently available.
2. Informed everyone that there will be a DVD version available for the retail release.
He did not insult, degrade, make fun of, use a sarcastic tone on, or otherwise attempt to insinuate stupidity of the person he was answering.
Cryptic also advertised pre-order benefits like the Collector's Edition set of physical items and guest passes, the multiple pre-order bonuses that happen at retail release (that is a common practice in other games) for different stores, and the head start. The "beta participation" is by far the least useful of all the pre-order bonuses. If you pre-ordered the game specifically to play a buggy, slow version that won't have any effect on your actual playing time whatsoever, you shafted yourself.

Hello! We're happy that you want to be part of FLICfest 2015.
We have made some exciting changes to the scope of FLICfest, so please read the following carefully, even if you've applied in the past.
In 2015, FLICfest will present feature-length (50-minute) works dance-theatre by six choreographers. Each work will be presented two times during FLICfest 2015 (January 22-31, 2015). Submitted work should be new work or an existing piece that you are expecting to rework significantly. The definition of dance-theatre is broad, so as part of the application, we will ask you to give us your definition and tell us how your work fits into it.
In addition to the performance dates in January, 2015, FLICfest will include a residency series, in which participating choreographers will have dedicated time to rehearse in the Irondale space with technical support, in order to tailor their work to the FLICfest venue, as well as to look at the work of fellow FLICfest choreographers and receive feedback as desired. The FLICfest residency series will take place on Monday nights, September-November, 2014 (detailed dates below). Chosen choreographers will be asked to commit to the entire series.
FLICfest 2015 participating choreographers will receive performance space, tech support, PR support, and a stipend of $1500, paid after the completion of the festival
The submission deadline is August 1, 2014. Please submit all materials by email (attached as a PDF or Word document) to email@example.com.
Please answer the following questions:
Please note these guidelines. By submitting your FLICfest 2015 proposal, you are agreeing to the following:
MONEY AND FUNDRAISING: FLICfest is committed to paying choreographers to present work. In 2015, we have set compensation at $1500 and will raise additional compensation through a Kickstarter campaign. Our goal is to raise enough to pay each choreographer an additional $250. When that goal is met, each choreographer will be paid an amount equal to 1/6 of the amount raised on Kickstarter, less Kickstarter and Amazon payment fees. We will only meet our fundraising goals with your help. To that end, we are asking each choreographer/company to commit to being responsible for raising $250 during FLICfest's Kickstarter campaign.
AWARENESS: FLICfest is committed to building new audiences for feature-length dance. This year, we are asking each choreographer to commit to bringing 10 people to the FLICfest launch party, (date TBD late September or early October, 2014). Selected choreographers will also be expected to send emails and/or reach out on social media for the launch party, fundraising efforts and performances.
PRESS AGREEMENT: By submitting work to FLICfest 2014, you agree that your work is open to review by dance press and that you will make yourself reasonably available to press requests leading up to FLICfest.
FALL RESIDENCY DATES: Attendance at these sessions is very important to the mission of FLICfest. Please confirm that you are available all of the following Monday evenings (6-9 pm). If you are unavailable for more than two of these dates, your FLICfest application will not be considered. Please note any of the following that you are unavailable.

Peter Salett loves making all kinds of music, whether it be scoring art films (Down in the Valley, with Edward Norton), writing silly songs for studio comedies (the Dracula puppet musical in Forgetting Sarah Marshall), releasing 7 of his own records, or creating eerie atmospheric pieces for Ripening.
Le Chev (Michael Laine Cheever) is the legendary music producer from Chicago, living in New York City, with a "transporting vast" (pitchfork) sound. In the past year Le Chev collaborations include - Matthew Barney, Jonathan Bepler, Frankie Rose, Lemonade, SSION, Fischerspooner, Inez & Vinoodh, Dark Igloo, Holger (Brazil), MKRNI (Chile), Johnny Stimson, and more... Le Chev's group's AVAN LAVA and Narcisse, both have plans to release albums this year.
Emiliano Melis is a music designer based in NYC. His works are a mixture of dreams, hallucinations and aesthetic, expressed with sound installations and poetry. Performance becomes a particular moment, each time played in different ways, a music journey to the deepest part of the soul, running through darkness, passion, sensuality, fear, desire and redemption.

A. Cuddy Project | World Premiere
Yung-Li Chen/YUNG-LI DANCE
Taiwanese-born Yung-Li Chen has created a duet centered upon psychologist Amy Cuddy's theories of power posing—adopting confident postures such as a lifted chest, high head, arms propped on hips in order to increase social success. With A. Cuddy Project, Chen is interested in translating the "fake it till you make it" approach to dance.
Even As I Tell You This | World Premiere
Lindy Fines/GREYZONE
Lindy Fines' group piece Even As I Tell You This is a visceral and otherworldly juxtaposition of mechanical and fluid movement states. Fines' movement language tempers intense physicality with abstraction and highly complex movement patterns.
Perfect Tension | World Premiere
Chris Ferris/Chris Ferris & Dancers
Chris Ferris & Dancers explore the heady world of stress, anxiety and survival tactics in their group piece Perfect Tension, with an original composition by Loren Kiyoshi Dempster.
Native | World Premiere
Aaron McGloin/Aaron McGloin Dance
Aaron McGloin's Native for five dancers is an eclectic investigation into what constitutes home and identity, featuring jazz, hip-hop, acrobatics and ballet. The diverse cultures and rituals he has experienced in New York City inspired McGloin in this work.
A Piece of Hamlet's Machine | World Premiere
Keith Thompson/danceTactics performance group
Keith Thompson fuses dance and physical theater in his narrative-driven A Piece of Hamlet's Machine. Rooted in German playwright Heiner Müller's postmodernist drama Hamletmachine, Thompson's piece rounds out his choreographic cycle of text-driven movement.
Spin Art | World Premiere
Emily Berry/B3W
Emily Berry's Spin Art features four dancers who flip upside down, spiral and fling their bodies through space, reminiscent of spin art craft projects. Set to Daniel Bernard Roumain's original score, this piece layers both subtle and abrupt dynamic shifts with gesture and intense physicality.
I Wish I Could Drink Like a Lady | World Premiere
Hattie Mae Williams/The Tattooed Ballerinas
Hattie Mae Williams' interdisciplinary dance piece I Wish I Could Drink Like a Lady takes a closer look into the life and poetry of Dorothy Parker, exploring human strengths and weaknesses.
Shred | World Premiere
Kora Radella/Boomerang
Kora Radella's duet Shred is a fearlessly physical confrontation of the barriers that exist both within and between people. By implementing uncompromising athleticism and even primitiveness, Radella presents two people who must deal with each other in strictly physically demanding terms.
Ancient Springs | World Premiere
Tina Croll/Tina Croll + Company
Tina Croll is expanding her 2007 piece Ancient Springs, inspired by poet Kathleen Raine's Defending Ancient Springs and Federico Fellini's film La Strada. Comprised of vignettes— "short stories"— a little gavotte, a twisted convulsive solo, a stately waltz on some town square. A chorus of dancers swirls through - sometimes commenting on the action, sometimes causing havoc.
Rare Birds | World Premiere
CJ Holm/Jansen and Holm
CJ Holm's duet Rare Birds is a danced nature documentary about people's desires, guilt, grief and resilience, blending tender and brutal choreographic language with an abstract meditation on the realities that create pressing social and environmental issues.
Ripening/Yield | World Premiere
Vanessa Walters
Vanessa Walters' Ripening/Yield is an ominous exploration of childhood memory and playtime. The quintet of dancers conveys time both within and outside of rhythm—alternately counting deliberately and avoiding all forms.

Recent Albany Reviews
Lovely inviting getaway retreat in any weather!
Our second annual winter stay at Terrapin Station was as enjoyable as the first, despite subzero tempuratures that kept us indoors during our stay. Can't imagine another spot with more entrancing views, wonderfully appointed rooms and bathrooms, and a warm entertaining kitchen and living spaces that kept our group with kids comfortable and entertained.
Beyond our expectations!!!
Despite my best effort, words will never explain in full the wonderful time my family and I experienced during this New Year's vacation at "A Getaway Cottage". From the very start, I knew it was going to be something special when Kristi first called me to touch basis and go over a few details. It was hard to believe people that sweet and kind still exist in this rapid and impersonal life we are now living. Upon our arrival at the cottage, several surprises awaited us! The bubbly for New Years, the welcome note, chocolate covered strawberries, maple syrup and pancake mix, it was all beyond WOW!!! After settling in, we reviewed the attractions and things to do in the area from a neatly prepared album Kristi and Ed left for us. The cottage itself is immaculate, containing all the comforts of home, and then some! My kids wanted to see snow, and snow they saw! Lots of it! They enjoyed playing on the property grounds and on the frozen pond, something they nor I had ever seen. The beds were all comfortable as was everything inside the cottage. We spent many nights cozying up by the fireplace and reading a book, or watching TV. Everything from the owners, to the cottage, to the overall experience was PHENOMENAL !! This is definitely a place to return to as well as a place to highly recommend to friends and family! Thank you Kristi and Ed for sharing this fabulous place with us!

Add to this the Holderization of the war on terror. Attorney General Eric Holder began his work not with a high-profile assault on al-Qaeda but with a high-profile assault on the CIA -- making clear to every ambitious officer that counterintelligence is a dead end of recrimination and legal bills. And now both the mastermind of 9/11 and the underwear bomber are headed toward celebrity trials. According to White House terrorism adviser John Brennan, the decision to prosecute Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab in civilian court was made almost immediately by the Justice Department -- though the president now concedes that "al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula trained (Abdulmutallab), equipped him with those explosives and directed him to attack that plane headed for America."
This civilian prosecution strategy would make sense if the goal is punishment for an attempted mass murderer. But it makes no sense if the goal is vigilance in the war on terror -- gaining information to prevent future attacks. Abdulmutallab evidently talked a bit with FBI investigators when first captured. But any defense lawyer -- and now he has one -- will urge him to withhold information for use in bargaining with prosecutors down the road. The reality here is simple and shocking: A terrorist with current knowledge of al-Qaeda operations in Yemen has been told he has the right to remain silent.
As a foreign terrorist, he does not have that right (as even the Obama administration has conceded by its use of military tribunals in other cases). And granting Abdulmutallab that privilege only because he tried to commit murder on American soil is an incentive of disturbing perversity.
President Obama has forbidden waterboarding. But he has not, to my knowledge, forbidden the interrogation of enemy combatants who have current information on terrorist networks.
The president has occasionally talked of a war on terror. But lip service is different from leadership. In the war on terror, 2009 was not a year of urgency and vigilance. It was a year of lullabies, hot toddies and Ambien -- though it nearly ended with a bang.

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Dec. 9, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- The global scientific community is increasingly recognizing the role of rejuvenation biotechnologies in addressing age-related disease. This week, Arizona-based businessman Jason Hope announced a $500,000 donation to SENS Foundation, a California-based non-profit organization that works to develop, promote and ensure widespread access to rejuvenation biotechnologies which comprehensively address age-related disease.
"I have had great interest in the SENS Foundation and Dr. Aubrey de Grey's work for some time now. I believe their work is essential to the advancement of human medicine and their approach to the overall problem of human aging and its associated diseases (Alzheimer's, Atherosclerosis, Diabetes, etc.) is the only way to go. Their work and the work of others that they support will drive the complete redefinition and reshaping of the healthcare, pharmaceutical, and biotech industries as we know them today. The advancement of rejuvenation biotechnologies is not only extremely important, but it is the future. I am honored to support the SENS Foundation in its efforts, and hope my support helps drive faster results for all of humanity," said Jason Hope.
The donation was announced by SENS Foundation CEO, Mike Kope, at Tuesday's 'Breakthrough Philanthropy' event hosted by the Thiel Foundation, in the Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco.
"We need to create an entirely new biotech industry. That's why we created SENS Foundation: to be a credible catalyst for change; to be a public research and outreach organization devoted to the creation of a new field- rejuvenation biotechnology. To that end, we are proud that our projects are capturing the imaginations of top tier collaborators in biotech and regenerative medicine. Jason Hope's donation is a major contribution, enabling us to build on our existing collaborations in 2011, and accelerating our progre

Editor's note: As part of our partnership with Nightly Business Report, TheStreet's James Rogers will appear on NBR Monday (check local listings) to look at the top cloud-computing stocks for 2012.
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- With cloud computing becoming a mainstream enterprise technology, investors should pay attention to EMC (EMC - Get Report), Salesforce.com (CRM - Get Report) and Rackspace (RAX - Get Report) in 2012.
No longer perceived as a niche corner of the tech sector, a growing number of businesses are harnessing the power of cloud services. Rackspace, for example, counts Kraft Foods (KFT), Under Armor (UA), and Vodafone (VOD), among its customers, while Salesforce.com provides services for HP (HPQ - Get Report) and Time Warner Cable (TWC).
There are different types of cloud technology available for enterprises, from "public" clouds, where customers access services like storage and server power from third-party companies, to "private" clouds, which are run at customers' own sites. Private clouds could be used, for example, to provide company-wide marketing or HR services across multiple locations.Tech research firm IDC estimates that revenue from public IT cloud services alone exceeded $21.5 billion in 2010 and will reach $72.9 billion in 2015, growing four times faster than the IT market as a whole.

To embed, copy and paste the code into your website or blog:
Last Friday, just in time for the Christmas holiday, EPA finalized revisions to the Boiler MACT rule. As it has done with other significant rules, EPA basically fine-tuned the existing rule, responding to some specific comments, adding a smidgen of flexibility here, and a dash of extra time to comply over there. I think that EPA deserves credit for responding to the regulated community, while still imposing rules that provide significant benefits.
Environmentalists complained that the delay will lead to additional premature deaths. The National Association of Manufacturers complained about "overly aggressive regulations." I still don't know what they mean by overly aggressive. EPA's estimate is that the benefit-cost ratio for the rule is between 13:1 and 29:1. Even if EPA were off by a factor of 10, the benefits would still exceed the costs of the rule. To me, this is another example of the abandonment of cost-benefit analysis by some opposed to regulation. Instead, they look solely at the costs and, if there are enough zeros at the end, assert that those costs are "too much", without regard to the benefits.
Perhaps surprisingly, but definitely tellingly, Congressional Republicans generally praised revisions, calling them "more workable and achievable."
It is likely that it is actually EPA that will continue to receive lumps of coal in its collective stocking, but I think that they have earned something better.
