Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam is the mashup fans didn't know they wanted
Jun 22
// Jed Whitaker
Each character's jump is mapped to a different button, meaning to jump up one ledge requires three button presses; multiply that by hundreds of jumps and you'll understand how annoyed I was with the mechanic. Even in the demo, the amount of pressing three separate buttons just to move through the overworld felt excessive. I couldn't imagine doing this through the entire game. Hopefully an option is added that allows all characters to jump at the same time by the time the game releases next year. Trio attacks and papercraft battles are two additions to the series. Paper Mario allows characters to team up for trio attacks which are timed attacks that play more like a mini-game from WarioWare than the normal timed attacks. One trio attack has your enemies falling from the sky as paper as you whack a ball at them with tennis rackets. Papercraft battles have the heroes standing on top of a giant papercraft Mario and using it to rush down other giant papercrafts to defeat them. Both trio attacks and papercraft are rather minor yet welcome additions to the series. On-point writing, great dialogue, fun turned-based attacks with a timed button press element -- all staples of both the Mario & Luigi and Paper Mario series are still here and nearly unchanged, which is not at all a bad thing. Fans of either series will more than likely be pleased with this new crossover title, even if it mostly feels like another Mario & Luigi title. The series have always been rather similar other than aesthetic. Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam is scheduled for release on the Nintendo 3DS in spring of 2016 worldwide.
Too many jumps, too many jumps!
Are you a fan of the Mario & Luigi series? You know, the handheld RPG games that star everyone's favorite brothers in hilarious adventures? Then you'll be quite familiar with how Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam pla...
Review: Dr. Mario: Miracle Cure
Jun 18
// Chris Carter
Dr. Mario: Miracle Cure (3DS)Developer: NintendoPublisher: NintendoMRSP: $8.99Release Date: June 11, 2015 Yep, this is pretty much the same Dr. Mario you know and love. Miracle Cure sports 10 training levels and 50 core stages for its "campaign," and mixes the classic gameplay of Mario with the newly-minted sub-franchise of Dr. Luigi, allowing both playstyles as a separate option. If you've never played a game in the series before, you're directing little pills on a screen, similar to Tetris, to eliminate viruses and clear the board. Each virus and pill has a respective color (blue, red, or yellow), and matching up four of a kind will clear that link. Dr. Mario features a standard pill shape with up to two colors, and Dr. Luigi makes things a bit more difficult with an "L" shape pill. That's the gist. Here in the newest 3D game there's a new mechanic though called the "Miracle Cure," which basically translates to "powerups." Leave it to Nintendo to barely iterate on a formula and still make a fun game, right? Said powerups include bombs, which blow up anything in their blast radius, and line-based explosions, which are more tactical in nature. For the most part, everything is the same as before, but the Miracle Cures do add a bit more nuance should you opt to turn them on. For instance, the pacing for individual levels is a bit faster since you can score a ton of bombs to blast out some mishaps you may have stacked up in a particular round. It's not mind-blowing, but it doesn't detract from the experience. In addition to the aforementioned preset puzzles, you can also play a custom mode that allows endless play, as well as the option to play directly with a CPU, head-to-head, racing to clear your board first. This versus mode also extends to both online play and local play, the latter of which thankfully supports a download play option, so only one person needs a copy. Honestly, the online experience was one of the smoothest of any recent Nintendo game, as I didn't have any lag of any kind playing a number of different people in Japan. It's all matchmaking based, mind. [embed]294288:59147:0[/embed] It also has this cool display method that shows your game on top and your opponent's on the bottom, both of which have been lag-free based on my testing. For all of these modes you can also opt for Dr. Mario- or Dr. Luigi-based modes, as well as the option to turn off Miracle Cures if you wish. My suggestion? Play with Miracle Cures online. It can be a radically different experience, looking up, then quickly looking down and realizing that your opponent has blasted away half their viruses with powerups. When all is said and done though, there really isn't a whole lot to Miracle Cure if you aren't going to play multiplayer with a friend who shares your passion. I really wish Nintendo showed a bit more effort when it comes to solo play, as the standard "missions" aren't cutting it. I would kill to see a new storyline (like Dr. Mario 64) incorporated into the franchise, one that unites both Mario and Luigi against a common foe. For now, there's only so much pill-dropping that I can take. If you're a Dr. Mario junkie, you can probably pull the trigger on Dr. Mario: Miracle Cure just to see what the fuss is about in regards to the power-ups. For everyone else, just stick with Dr. Luigi until Nintendo decides to overhaul the formula a bit more. [This review is based on a retail build provided by the publisher.]

Hell yes, new Mario Tennis! Ultra Smash is coming to Wii U "holiday 2015" and showed off an embiggening mushroom power up during its trailer, which I'm a bit torn about. It's not quite Strikers level zaniness, instead in a weird middle ground, but it'll probably be good fun. Tennis has always been the best Mario sport.

Experience Points .15: Super Mario Sunshine
Jun 06
// Ben Davis
A nozzle for every occasion Ahh, the FLUDD. By far the most unique tool ever to be in Mario's possession, the FLUDD is a water-powered contraption which can be used to spray like a pump, clean up messes, hover through the air, dash or slide quickly across land and water, and rocket-jump straight up into the sky. It's immensely useful, and easily sets Super Mario Sunshine apart from any other game in the series. Every time I replay Sunshine, I can't help but be amazed at how fun it is to use the FLUDD. Hovering as a platforming mechanic feels wonderful. It allows Mario to cross huge distances, reach crazy heights, stop himself in midair to make a precise landing or correct an erroneous leap, and more. In addition, the Rocket and Turbo nozzles allow him to cover great distances both vertically and horizontally in record times, making it a piece of cake to traverse large levels or recover from a fall. I especially enjoy using the waterslide technique, which involves spraying water in front of Mario and then diving onto it so that he slides quickly across the ground on a layer of water. It's very useful for the levels where he has to chase Shadow Mario or race against Il Piantissimo, and it's simply a ton of fun to do as well. I also can't help using the FLUDD to annoy everyone around Mario by spraying them in the face with water. Drenching the Toads, Piantas, and Nokis on Isle Delfino and watching them shake it all off and throw a fit -- it never gets old. Some of them were asking for it anyway, makin' me break my back cleaning up all this gunk. Why don't I clean up your FACE while I'm at it? Dude, where's my FLUDD? While the FLUDD adds some interesting new mechanics to Mario's platforming, the game still manages to shine even without it. During specific levels, Shadow Mario will appear and steal the device right off of Mario's back, leaving him to rely on his excellent jumping abilities to finish the level. These FLUDD-less stages feel like a throwback to the Super Mario 64 style of Mario platforming. They all take place on floating platforms above a bottomless pit, so any misstep could end in a swift death. Most of these levels involve rotating platforms and other moving obstacles, and traversing them requires a lot of skill and careful observation. These areas manage to feel completely different from the main game, yet equally challenging (if not more so) and just as fun. It's a great way to change things up and keep the gameplay interesting by dropping the core FLUDD mechanic entirely, taking players out of their comfort zone by removing the ability to hover safely and testing their true platforming prowess. Some of these stages are the most difficult areas of the game, and it always feels nice and rewarding to emerge victorious and then promptly return to hovering around like normal. Sittin' on the dock of the bay All of the levels in Super Mario Sunshine are island-themed, but even so, they do a good job of providing diverse tropical locations. The beachside hotel, the theme park, and the village surrounded by giant palm trees and mushrooms are a few of my favorites, but for me, the coolest location is Noki Bay. Noki Bay is a quiet little area situated on the side of a large cliff, with a beautiful waterfall, towering seashell structures, and hidden ruins to explore. There are so many memorable moments in this level: spraying water along the cliff faces to reveal secret passages, discovering an ancient tomb, riding around in the mudboats, jumping from the top of the waterfall, diving to the depths of the bay to confront a giant eel... everything about this level appealed to the explorer in me. People often ask which video game world you wish you could visit or live in, and for me that would definitely be the world of Super Mario Sunshine. I've always had a soft spot for the sea and tropical locations, and the areas in Sunshine are some of the most beautiful and exciting examples of tropical places in a video game. I would love to live in Noki Bay, going for dives, taking in the sights, and visiting the other locations on Isle Delfino whenever I wanted. It would be such an amazing world to inhabit (as long as it was goop-free)! Climbing the giant palm tree Another thing that helped make the world of Super Mario Sunshine stand out was the giant, scalable set pieces. The shine sprite tower in Delfino Plaza, the windmill in Bianco Hills, the Ferris wheel in Pinna Park, the enormous palm trees in Pianta Village -- many of these things look nearly impossible to climb at first, but eventually Mario gains the means of reaching those formidable heights, and it feels incredible to be able to scale such impressive landmarks and look down at the world below. Aside from Noki Bay, my favorite place in Super Mario Sunshine is at the very top of the central palm tree in Pianta Village. This tree is so gigantic that it takes several rocket jumps to be able to reach the top. Not only that, but the leaves are so huge that Mario is easily able to run all over them without fear of falling off. He's like a tiny little red bug to this impossibly large tree. The extreme height might freak out some acrophobes, but those brave enough to make it up there are rewarded with a stunning view of the sky and the entire village far below. The Piantas even built a small wooden tower at the top of the palm tree, possibly to sit and look up at the clear night sky from a quiet, secluded place up in the clouds. Well, that's what I like to use it for, anyway! An apple a day keeps the ghosts away Super Mario Sunshine has some crazy boss fights. There's a giant flying Piranha Plant named Petey, a huge Gooper Blooper with delicate tentacles, and a massive eel with a poor dental plan. There's also a King Boo, an enemy we've seen before in other Mario games, but even so, he manages to be one of the most enjoyable bosses of the bunch. King Boo hides beneath the casino of Hotel Delfino. The fight takes place on a gigantic roulette wheel with three circular segments spinning in different directions, which can be dizzying and confusing until it stops moving. Water does nothing against this ghost, but after a while he'll bring up a slot machine out of nowhere and give it a spin, causing objects to appear depending on the result. If the slot machine lands on three fruits, then Mario is in luck! Just start chucking fruit at King Boo and see what happens. Most of the fruit will splash juice all over his face, which he'll happily lick up (that always makes me laugh). But toss a chili pepper at him, and he'll become so overwhelmed with the heat that a hit from any other fruit will send him reeling. It's such a bizarre fight, but that's why I love it. Killing a ghost by throwing fruit at it? Why not? It brings back memories of defeating Wart by forcing him to eat delicious veggies. Mario's foes sure don't like their healthy foods, do they? Big bad dad Bowser is one of my favorite Mario characters, and a lot of that love stemmed from his portrayal in Super Mario Sunshine. Granted, Bowser doesn't get much screentime in the game; the first time he shows up is for the final boss sequence, and he also has a short cutscene before the credits. But Nintendo manages to pack a lot of personality into him during such a small amount of time. Bowser never really had much of a personality until the Mario RPGs, where he was often shown to be a bit of a goofball and a softie (especially in Paper Mario). Super Mario Sunshine offers a completely new side of Bowser's personality. Sunshine introduced Bowser's son, Bowser Jr., revealing the mean old Koopa to be a father figure and a family man, a side of him we've never seen before. Sure, there were the Koopalings before Jr., but their relation to Bowser was often rather murky. In Sunshine, Bowser and his son are on vacation causing mischief, when Jr. kidnaps Princess Peach because his father told him that Peach was his mother. Jr. just wants to reunite his family so they can enjoy a vacation together. Of course, Peach being his mother was just a lie told by Bowser. After a rather bizarre boss fight against Bowser and his son in a giant hot tub, Bowser finally sits down to have a talk with Jr. and tell him the truth. Jr. isn't surprised by this, and instead of fretting, he vows to one day get revenge on Mario. The two Koopas share a nice moment of father-son bonding over their mutual hatred of the plumber. I really enjoyed seeing this side of Bowser, and it made him seem like an almost sympathetic character. He's still the bad guy, but he's also living his own life in the background, trying his best to raise a son and keep him happy. If only he could think of a way to do that without kidnapping princesses...

Natasha Wimmer's translation of The Savage Detectives was chosen as one of the ten best books of 2007 by the Washington Post and the New York Times.
Customer reviews
By Barry Kevin Newton 01 Feb 2012
What a most awesome literary experience this book is. Bolano is a true master-craftsman of the written word, his literary style in this book is literary eloquence juxtaposing magnificently with the subject lines.
A most captivatingly grandiloquent description of the mundane, the mediocre, and the macabre, with some singularly outstanding sentences that carry through half to three-quarter pages remaining coherent, contextual, and clever.
The "unfinished" portion ~ that part completed by his family ~ stands as stark testimony of Roberto Bolano's pure literary genius.
By Sholto Spradbury 02 Feb 2010
I have frequently heard this book described as a flawed or unfinished masterpiece, but if you didn't know the author died before he considered the project complete, it would hardly be obvious. In terms of coherence, it compares well with other recent novels of similarly wide scope and size - Infinite Jest, say or Against The Day.
The narrative has two primary and intertwined concerns - the life and works of a reclusive novelist, and an epidemic of murdered females in a city on the US / Mexico border. 'The Part About The Crimes', a three-hundred-page account of these murders and their investigation, is relentless, clinical, hypnotic and altogether disturbing. I don't know how it compares for grisliness with popular psych-crime procedurals, but it is not for the faint-hearted.
In the other parts, we follow a young man whose artistic temperament is formed through the German experience in WWII and after. an incestuous clique of academics trying to track down their literary hero, and a pair of misfits trapped by the endless alienating spaces in and around the border city.
There are many mysteries, but little satisfaction for a reader looking for orderly resolution or deeper significance. However, I felt it a generous work - the prose is sometimes rich, sometimes spare, but never opaque and always allusive. It is learned and literary, but embraces the details of countless ordinary lives whilst guiding us on a rare and memorable journey.
Review quote
"Bolano's masterwork . . . An often shockingly raunchy and violent tour de force (though the phrase seems hardly adequate to describe the novel's narrative velocity, polyphonic range, inventiveness, and bravery) based in part on the still unsolved murders of hundreds of women in Ciudad Juarez, in the Sonora desert near the Texas border." --FRANCISCO GOLDMAN, "The New York Review of Books" "Not just the great Spanish-language novel of [this] decade, but one of the cornerstones that define an entire literature." --J. A. MASOLIVER RODENAS, "La Vanguardia" "One of those strange, exquisite, and astonishing experiences that literature offers us only once in a very long time . . . to see . . . a writer in full pursuit of the Total Novel, one that not only completes his life's work but redefines it and raises it to new dizzying heights." --RODRIGO FRESAN, "El Pais """ "Bolano's savoir-faire is incredible ... The exploded narrative reveals a virtuosity that we rarely encounter, and one cannot help being bowled over by certain bravura passages--to single one out, the series of reports describing murdered young women, which is both magnificent and unbearable. We won't even mention the 'resolution' of this infernal 2666, a world of a novel in which the power of words triumphs over savagery." --Baptiste Liger, L'EXPRESS"Splendid ... The jaw-dropping synthesis of a brief but incredibly fertile career." --Fabrice Gabriel, LES INROCKUPTIBLES"The event of the spring: with 2666 Roberto Bolano has given us his most dense, complex, and powerful novel, a meditation on literature and evil that begins with a sordid newspaper item in contemporary Mexico." --Morgan Boedec, CHRONIC ART"Includingthe imaginary and the mythic alongside the real in his historiography, without ever dabbling in the magical realism dear to many of his Latin-American peers, Bolano strews his chronicle with dreams and visions. As in the films of David Lynch (with whom Bolano's novel shares a certain kinship) these become a catalyst for reflection ... In such darkness, one must keep one's eyes wide open. Bolano invites us to do just that." --Sabine Audrerie, LA CROIX"An immense moment for literature ... With prodigious skill and his inimitable art of digression, Bolano leads us to the gates of his own hell. May he burn in peace." --TECHNIKART"Bolano constructs a chaos that has an order all its own ... The state of the world today transmuted into literature." --Isabelle Ruf, LE TEMPS"To confront the reader with the horror of the contemporary world was Bolano's guiding ambition. He succeeded, to say the least. Upset, shocked, sometimes even sickened, at times one is tempted to shut the book because it's unbearable to read. Don't shut it. Far from being a blood-and-guts thriller meant to entertain, 2666 is a 'visceral realist" portrait of the human condition in the twenty-first century." --Anna Topaloff, MARIANNE "On every page the reader marvels, hypnotized, at the capacity of this baroque writer to encompass all literary genres in a single fascinating, enigmatic story. No doubt many readers will find 2666 inexhaustible to interpretation. It is a fully realized work by a pure genius at the height of his powers." --LIRE "His masterpiece ... Bolano borrows from vaudeville and the campus novel, from noir and pulp, from science fiction, from the Bildungsroman, from war novels; the tone of hiswriting oscillates between humor and total darkness, between the simplicity of a fairytale and the false neutrality of a police report." --Minh Tran Huy, LE MAGAZINE LITTERAIRE (Paris)"The book explores evil with irony, without any theory or resolution, relying on storytelling alone as its saving grace... Each story is an adventure: a fresco at once horrifying, delicate, grotesque, redundant, and absurd, revealed by the flashlight of a child who stands at the threshold of a cave he will never leave." --Philippe Lancon, LIBERATION"If THE SAVAGE DETECTIVES recounted the end of a century of avant-gardes and ideological battles, 2666, more radically, evokes the end of humanity as we know it. Apocalyptic in this sense, wavering between decomposition and totality, endlessly in love with people and books, Bolano's last novel ranges over the world and history like the knight Percival, who in Bolano's words 'wears his fool's motley underneath his armor.'" --Fabienne Dumontet, LE MONDE DES LIVRES (Paris)"A work of genius: a work of immense lucidity and narrative cunning, written with a unique mixture of creative power and intimate existential desperation, the work of a master whose voice has all the authority and seeming effortlessness that we associate with the great classics of the ages ... It is impossible to read this book without feeling the earth shift beneath one's feet. It is impossible to venture deep into writing so unforgiving without feeling inwardly moved--by a shudder of fear, maybe even horror, but also by its need to pay attention, by its desire for clarity, by its hunger for the real." --Andres Ibanaz, BLANCO Y NEGRO"Without a doubt the greatest of Bolano'sproductions ... The five parts of this masterwork can be read separately, as five isolated novels; none loses any of its brilliance, but what's lost is the grandeur that they achieve in combination, the grandeur of a project truly rare in fiction nowadays, one that can be enjoyed only in its totality." --Ana Maria Moix, EL PAIS"Make no mistake, 2666 is a work of huge importance ... a complex literary experience, in which the author seeks to set down his nightmares while he feels time running out. Bolano inspires passion, even when his material, his era, and his volume seem overwhelming. This could only be published in a single volume, and it can only be read as one." --EL MUNDO"An absolute masterpiece ... Bolano writes almost without adjectives, but in his prose this leads to double meanings. The narration is pure metonymy: it omits feelings in favor of facts. A phone call or a sex act can express real tragedy, the sweep of the vast human condition." --Andres Lomena, LA OPINION DE MALAGA "" ""

for sale: various airhead parts /5 /6 /7 RS RT
hi folks,
I'm having a mini cleanout of accumulated bits to suit /5 through /7 models
/5 rear hub stamped 1971. Its clean, looks to have good splines but the hub is slightly stripped. The bearing race is a snug fit cold and I think some loctite sleeve compound would be enough to take up the slack. $25
pair FIAMM horns. a bit rusty but would clean up nice. $35
an RT? or RS? instrument gauge mount This is the tall version for use in fairings I believe. $10
/6 /7 RHS perch and lever. The throttle tube is in poor condition but the rest looks good. $40
Thunderchild solid diode board mounts. unused and ordered by mistake. $10
I pulled the wiring harness from the R90/6 I was restoring because it was obviously the wrong harness. Originally the bike had an RS fairing and I'm assuming the PO had this harness installed to allow for the extra cable lengths etc. Comes with headlight and indicator sections and I think the fairing gauges. Rear section missing but otherwise ok. $75
a bunch of brake master cylinder bits to suit /6 or /7 undertank fitting. Will both need rebuilding. $50
ATE 40mm caliper, braided cable and solid line with mount. I think this is ready to bolt on but no guarantee. $55
A bunch of Bing carb bits. the bodies are both RHS. Stamped 64/32/9 and 64/32/11. $75
I have tried to price these reasonably. If you think the price on something is out of line, let me know and we can talk.
postage extra - I can squeeze these into priority mail boxes which seems the best way to ship nowadays.
Always willing to trade too.

Stepfan Taylor rushed for 142 yards and two touchdowns, Kevin Hogan passed for 160 yards and another score, and No. 11 Stanford beat No. 15 UCLA 35-17 Saturday to win the Pacific-12 Conference North title and a rematch with the Bruins in the conference championship game. The Cardinal (10-2, 8-1 Pac-12) found out about 10 minutes before the opening kickoff that No. 5 Oregon (11-1, 8-1) had beaten No. 16 Oregon State 48-24, meaning they had to win to qualify for another shot at UCLA - a game Stanford will host next Friday. The Cardinal, who have three straight 10-win seasons for the first time, handed Oregon a 17-14 overtime setback last weekend to put themselves in position to win the Pac-12 North title with a victory over the Pac-12 South champion Bruins (9-3, 6-3), who earned their berth in the title game by beating Southern California 38-28 last weekend. The win was the sixth straight for Stanford and their fourth in a row over UCLA, which had a five-game winning streak snapped...

1/17/2015bad design.
11/1/2014Luv this app & all its choices for organizing!😊 Just wish tile was live & could be personalized. A flip tile to give glimpse of tasks its contains. Perhaps user's choice of items wanted on the tile. They could see that day/week's relevant tasks. Right now, awesome app wrapped in drab black & grey tile, sitting lifeless on start screen.☹ Hardly something that catches attention & helps to remember things. Often apps are judged by their cover & this poor app's cover screams boring. Breathe some life into it. Know what I mean? It rocks, but could be so much better! Looking forward to new updates.😉😊💗

10/9/2013Too easy to delete notes. and doesn't have the recording function. when mistakenly just swiping it left, it will be deleted and never be recoverd
9/28/2013I use this app to organize a ton of tasks, projects, image and idea galleries and lists. Sometimes shuts down when I've been using it for more than 30 minutes at a time, but still would give it 5 stars

Why we dont write
telnet client name pbx?
We normally write
telnet client name bpcd from master server.
Why so?
Client NBU version 7,1
Comments 6 Comments • Jump to latest comment
No ...
When you write
telnet <clientname> 1556 A connection is made to PBX
When you write telnet <client name> 13782 A connection is made to bpcd.
Why ...
You are not using NBU, you are using telnet an operating system command. telnet will connect only to what you tell it to.
All you are doing is connecting to a port, nothing is going to happen, PBC/ bpcd doesn't understand telnet.
Look at it this way ...
I have a package to give to Marianne, she is very happy, it is some new NBU manuals.
Marianne has gone for dinner at ravaroos house ... ravaroo is pbx/ marianne is bpcd.
I knock on the dorr and ravaroo answers, I give him the package with Mariannes name on it, he then passes the package to Marianne - This is how NBU works.
Now. lets' consider telnet to pbx.
I knock on the door and give ravaroo the package, but it has no name on it.
ravaroo does not know what to do with it.
This is like telnet to pbx.
The most important question however, is why did ravaroo not invite me for dinner ?
It depends on the options you use.
If you do NOT specifiy any connect options, it will use what ever NBU is set to use by default, which if connecting to a remote host, will be connect on PBX.
WHY are you using telnet??
We have advised you over here to use bptestbpcd instead.
If you check output of 'bptestbpcd -client <client> -verbose -debug' you can see for yourself exactly what is happening.

Hostelworld "meet the world" by Lucky Generals
Rating: 5.0
By Emma Barns, campaignlive.co.uk, Friday, 21 May 2004 12:00AM
The magazine is the result of a partnership between Conde Nast's contract publishing division and the South African over-50s brand Second-lifestyle, owned by the entrepreneur Ken Burgess.
The magazine's launch in September will be the brand's UK debut.
Priced at £3.95, the title will have an initial print run of 100,000 and will cover areas including health, travel and property. If it is a success in the UK, then it is likely to be rolled out worldwide.
2 Magazine will compete against titles such as Saga and Emap Esprit's 50-plus title, Yours.
The magazine is the first in a series of planned initiatives from Secondlifestyle, including an internet radio station, 2 radio, set to launch in 2005.
Burgess, the chairman of Secondlifestyle, said: "The significance and recognition that 50 is the new 21 is really taking hold. There is no disputing the facts: we are the richest, best educated, healthiest and most long-lived generation ever seen."

When I finally found the courage to openly talk about my (past) depression, a mini-series of Minimalist Monday posts popped up as a result. I called the final post "Exit Strategy" because it talked about how I escaped a job I hated to chase my passion and find a career I love, that has purpose, etc.
The feedback from those three posts also helped me internalize just exactly what I had done. What I had built and accomplished. (Thank you ...
Productivity has been a popular topic on Minimalist Monday. It's one of those things I keep trying to get better at, especially as I dive deeper and deeper into my minimalism.

When it comes to miracle-workers such as gamma-Aminobutyric acid, which purport to mimic Botox in slightly paralyzing muscles of the face, dermatologists say there is "absolutely no science" to support that wrinkle-buster. The same goes for applying collagen to the skin, or eating it in cake, as has become the vogue in Japan.
Fortunately, not everything over-the-counter is bunk, dermatologists say -- a few ingredients can soften fine lines when used over time.
Antioxidants and Retinol, a derivative of vitamin A, can have modest effects over time, says Dr. Jessie Cheung, assistant professor of dermatology at the New York University Langone Medical Center.
Retinol is similar to the retinoic acid that is used in prescription-strength wrinkle creams, but it is less potent and hence less harsh on the skin, leading to less irritation and over-drying than is experienced with the prescription version, she says.
"When you use retinol, it's a long-term commitment, however," she says. "It may take six months to see any difference."
Antioxidants help prevent future wrinkles by combating free radicals (which damage skin as we age), but it can be difficult to get stable versions of antioxidants like the popular vitamin C, E, and coffee berry.
"Vitamin C has been hugely popular as an antioxidant, but by nature they are unstable and [in most forms] it breaks down once it's exposed to the air," Cheung says, and Grant suggests an etherized (stabilized) vitamin C.
Acid exfoliants, such as alpha- and beta-hydroxy, also serve as temporary skin brighteners by removing dead skin cells on the surface of the face, says Grant, but they won't help with wrinkles.
While looking for retinol, acid exfoliants and antioxidants in a product can help you make savvier decisions, buyer beware, dermatologists say, because listing these ingredients on the package doesn't mean that they will actually be absorbed by the skin.
"Just because [the ingredient] does something in a test tube, that doesn't mean it will work on the skin or stay stable once in the jar," Cheung says.
"You need to understand," Marmur adds, "the function of the skin is not to absorb, but to keep things out. You wouldn't want to go swimming and puff up with water." Things might change the surface texture temporarily, she says, but to penetrate deeper, and have any real change in the skin, is difficult with a topical product.
There is one over-the-counter anti-wrinkle cream that dermatologists said always made a difference, and it only costs a few bucks.
Yep, you guessed it: sun block.
"Sun protection is the number one thing for anti-aging," Cheung says, as well as not smoking.
"The best cure is to not get them in the first place," Rigel agrees. "So wear an UV-protected sun block when out in the sun and don't squint or frown a lot."
And don't spend $250 an ounce on something that has no science behind it, he adds, and don't expect miracles: "if you're fifty, nothing is going to make you look like your eighteen, especially if you're getting it over the counter."

It's Rowling's first published work since she wrapped the mega-selling, seven-volume Harry Potter fantasy saga in 2007. And that puts her, and The Casual Vacancy, in a uniquely awkward position. The public knows Rowling as a fantasy-fiction Pied Piper; in an age ruled by videogames, her books got kids-even kids who otherwise don't read much-to thrill over every gripping chapter in a 4,100-page adventure saga about plucky young wizards vanquishing ...

The sponsorship deal, terms of which were not disclosed, includes signage around the Bradley Center. In addition, Sonic's Cherry Limeade character and Sonic's roller skaters will make appearances at the Bradley Center.
A Sonic official said the chain was looking forward to a relationship with the Bucks for years to come.

One rebel leader played down the loss of Slaviansk and said the hundreds of fighters who were able to move from the town to the regional capital Donetsk were preparing a command structure to defend that city and hit back.
Alexander Borodai, prime minister of the self-proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic, said: "We are not preparing ourselves for a siege. We are preparing ourselves for action."
In Luhansk, a city on the border with Russia where rebels control key buildings, two people in a minibus were killed by a shell.

St. Pete Approves Red Light Cameras
Kate Bradshaw
WMNF Drive-Time News Thursday | Listen to this entire show:
Today the St. Petersburg City Council voted to install cameras throughout the city to deter red light runners. They join Hillsborough County, Oldsmar, South Pasadena and Temple Terrace on the short list of local governments that have done so. But some people question whether cash flow, and not public safety, is their real motive.
St. Pete resident Robbie Marsade said he lost a brother in a crash involving a red light runner. He is all about having cameras mounted to stoplights to catch drivers who run red lights. Stop signs, even. People run red lights because they are speeding, Marsade said.
âItâs not rocket science. You donât get a ticket for driving the speed limit. You get a ticket for speeding. There have been enough studies to show â and footage that shows people running through red lights. T-boning. People dying.â
Marsade said careless drivers make St. Petersburg a scary place to drive.
âYou have people driving with their dogs in their laps. They canât look out the other side because theyâre also on their cell phone.â
The debate over red light cameras did not attract the Big Brother questions one might expect when City Hall talks surveillance. Instead, the big question was what the councilâs true motive was: money or safety? Council member Herb Polson has a simple answer.
âItâs not a money issue. I am saying it publicly. I told the newspaper that yesterday. I told folks throughout the county that. To me, itâs not a money issue.â
To show this, Council member Karl Nurse moved to require the city to use the revenue it keeps from the $155 tickets for public-safety measures. That motion failed, but Nurse said he hopes the council will revisit the idea at a later date.
âPeople were not as upfront this week about the use of the money as they were when we started. ⦠Thatâs the obvious place it ought to go to.â
Mayor Bill Foster said he didnât really care about fines, and that the city should consider tougher punishment for drivers who continually disregard red lights.
âQuite frankly, I donât care if there is no fine imposed for the blatant red light runner. Put âem in jailâ¦â
Not everyone on the council was convinced. Wengay Newton was the only council member not to support the ordinance. He said red light cameras were a piecemeal effort at best, and that if the city was doing this for safety, the revenue from red light tickets wouldnât be slated for the general fund.
âI canât see how itâs safety when ⦠the gentleman brought up four-way stop signs. I see people plow through those. I see them drive 55 miles an hour through a 15 mph school zone. And kids are walking around. If itâs truly safety, then weâre going to jump to the whole issue. Not piecemeal, because if we donât itâll look like itâs purely revenue. â¦â
Another issue the council addressed was the fact that state law doesnât allow cities to use red light cameras â yet. The Florida attorney general as well as an Aventura, Fla., judge have deemed them out of the scope of municipal authority. The city is waiting on several bills pending in the state Legislature that would change this before they start enforcing red light cameras. Newton questioned this as well.
âIf it may not go into effect, then why do this? If weâre not pre-empting the state Legislature? For revenue.â
Some members of the public were also concerned about the ordinance. Among these was the question of whether there was adequate data to demonstrate need for the cameras or their effectiveness. Former council candidate Steve Corsetti said he wasnât necessarily against or for it, but that he wasnât sure about the constitutionality of the cameras.
Supporters likened tickets resulting from red light cameras to parking tickets. The cameras would be installed on traffic lights at intersections with high accident rates, but not until state lawmakers say itâs is OK for them to do so.comments powered by Disqus

Questions are always valid.
It's one thing to tell us "we don't know," but it's another thing completely to fob us off with ridiculous stories just to keep us from asking more questions.

"The crew, Paul, John and Nick all knew us from previous moves with the company. We moved from a street, and John did not know I saw him helping an old lady over the ramp most kindly and gently, holding her hand and chatting to her. We have used Weston & Edwards at least six times; they have also moved house for my mother and my aunt. They are unfailingly professional and go out of their way to make the whole process as easy as possible, come rain or shine. Close contact with the office; nothing ever seems to be too much trouble, a can-do attitude, and prompt and courteous attention throughout the company reflects from head office to crew. Their humour goes a long way too. "

Top tips when moving house...
1. Get a quotation well in advance. Either complete our
quotation form
or make an appointment with our removals estimator. Proper planning ensures a smooth and trouble-free move.
2. If you have time, get rid of all your unwanted items and rubbish in advance - it's lovely to move into a new home, without unwanted clutter.
3. Doing your own packing? Anything that will fit into a box should be packed. Other loose items, garden tools for instance, can be taped together. Don't overfill the boxes. It's best to use our cartons as they are tailor-made for the job.
4. Items can be left in drawers if they're not too heavy, and if the drawers are removable (Our chaps can take the drawers out, put the carcass in the truck and replace the drawers to cut down the amount of packing that you have to do)
5. Freezers can usually stay full. Perhaps put the food in bags/baskets, so that if we struggle, we can take the food out prior to loading, and put back in for transit. We are often able to plug in the freezer on an overnight move.
6. Keep all keys (filing cabinets, safe, wardrobes) together in a safe place.
7. Self-assembly furniture is best dismantled before moving.
8. Prepare a survival pack for the things you will need on moving day - toys, kettle, passports and for the first day in your new home ie: bedding. Keep this separately and make sure the removal men know.
9. Let your mover know beforehand if you haven't managed to get your packing done, got rid of stuff or anything else you haven't asked for in your removal quote. That gives us time to make the necessary arrangements.
10. Make sure your removal company is aware of any access difficulties at either property.
11. People to notify of your change of address: Doctors, dentists, banks, Gas, Electricity, Royal Mail, phone company, D.V.L.A (Driving licence), Friends and relatives!
12. Check that we are available before you commit to a moving date.

Gary Cahill
29-Year-Old Defender Chelsea Premier
February 17, 2015 Gary Cahill News
RotoWire Fantasy Analysis
Cahill's flick pass was headed in by Branislav Ivanovic during Chelsea's 1-1 draw with Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League on Tuesday.
Cahill took a pass from John Terry to set up the goal, making it a three-defender goal-setup for the Blues. Cahill had been losing playing time to Kurt Zouma of late, but after Tuesday's performance, he could be back in the starting XI for Saturday's match against Burnley.

RotoWire Fantasy Analysis
Cahill was rested in favor of Kurt Zouma during Chelsea's 2-0 win over Newcastle on Saturday.
Assistant first team coach Steve Holland reiterated after the game that Cahill was simply being rested after appearing in each match over the holiday period, and he will likely be back in the starting XI next Saturday against Swansea City.
December 6, 2014
RotoWire Fantasy Analysis
Cahill started and played all 90 minutes of Chelsea's 2-1 loss at Newcastle on Saturday after leaving Wednesday's match against Tottenham at halftime due to a head injury.
Manager Jose Mourinho stated Friday that Cahill was fit after not suffering a concussion, but his presence wasn't enough to help Chelsea avoid its first loss of the season.
December 5, 2014
RotoWire Fantasy Analysis
Manager Jose Mourinho confirmed Friday that Cahill is fit for Saturday's match against Newcastle after suffering a head injury Wednesday against Tottenham.
Cahill had to come off at halftime after a collision with Jan Vertonghen and was replaced by Kurt Zouma, who would likely get the start if Mourinho decides to rest his starting centreback.
December 4, 2014
RotoWire Fantasy Analysis
Manager Jose Mourinho confirmed after Wednesday's game against Tottenham that despite coming off at halftime with a head injury, Cahill did not suffer a concussion.
Mourinho noted that Cahill was "a little bit afraid of heading the ball," which is obviously an important aspect of a centreback's game, so he removed him. Kurt Zouma replaced Cahill against Spurs and could be a candidate to do the same if Cahill has to miss Saturday's match against Newcastle.
November 23, 2014
RotoWire Fantasy Analysis
Cahill did not attempt a shot, but he completed 98 percent of his 50 passes and drew three fouls during Chelsea's 2-0 win over West Brom on Saturday, his fourth clean sheet of the season.
Cahill doesn't get involved in the attack much at all, which makes his fantasy value very dependent on clean sheets, something that Chelsea have struggled to do consistently this season.
November 8, 2014
RotoWire Fantasy Analysis
Cahill picked up his first goal of the season during Chelsea's 2-1 win over Liverpool at Anfield on Saturday.
There was some confusion over the score, as most players on the field kept playing after the ball hit Cahill and went in, but the goal-detection system showed the ball crossed the line after touching the defender, giving him his first goal of the season. He was actually also responsible for Liverpool's goal, as Emre Can fired a shot from distance that hit Cahill's shoulder and went in after being redirected, though Can was given credit for the goal, saving Cahill from an own goal. It was a solidly productive day for Cahill, who has struggled putting up many defensive stats lately, last posting a clean sheet Oct. 5 against Arsenal.
October 5, 2014
RotoWire Fantasy Analysis
Cahill had two clearances and blocked a shot during Chelsea's 2-0 win over Arsenal on Sunday, his third consecutive clean sheet in all competitions.
Cahill continues to be a steady starter in the middle of the Chelsea defense alongside John Terry, and now that they are starting to clamp it down after a rather leaky first couple of games to the season, Cahill should be able to garner more clean sheets, which is the source of much of his fantasy value in most formats.

Good flash, but nothing too original
I must say that you are a talented Flash artist. With the motion tweening, sound bytes, and background designs you are truely on your way to become one of the greatest flash artists in history (and I say that as a confidence builder.)
My only problem with your flash was the fact that you used stick figures. I understand that character design takes a while and may be a nuisance when giving the proper details, but I just didnt like the fact that an artist like yourself stuck to stick figure actions. Yes, a swarm of undead (?) enemies may be easier to depict with a stick figure rather than people with more detail, but the fact that stick figures are stigmatized is still a trend and I for one am not a huge fan of stick figure fighting.
Still, your craftsmenship is impeccible. I hope to see more flash movies from you in the future.
Fine work! You did stick animation proud!
Impressive stuff! It can only get better from here. We'll be waiting patiently for Castle III. You can't rush art, after all.
Beautiful, beautiful graphics. The way the action scenes were scripted completely blew me away, and the choice of background music was excellent! I didn't exactly like some of the sound effects, they seemed rather vague to me. As far as I can tell, the menus work fine, and the scene selector is an excellent feature.
Keep up the good work!
Jusst ten
1283 Layers? That's a lot. Over 500 dying stickmen, seen it! But excellent (not perfect) animations and sound. How about a city next time with raging cars and more guns and weapons. That would be awsome!
Great action sequence. Absolutely no story.
I can understand people mentioning that the lead seems to have no character, because he really doesnt. Sure, he's one mean mother-fucker and whatnot, but that doesnt draw people in. We need to see some sort of emotion from him, something to give us a connection.
The sound wasnt bad, but it could have been alot crisper and cleaner.
The visuals were good, aside from the fact that it was sticks. Oh, and that little re-used scene of him flying through the air with the sword was abit noticeable. :-P
The helicopter looked great though, but what would have been nice would be abit more background. He's in some sort of dank ancient castle with a holy relic and zombies. Give the castle some feeling, or something atleast.
Overall, pretty damn good and far beyond the drivel that is NG 85% of the time.
eh hmmmm
i know it was sweet and all, but for some reason i just couldnt get into it. i think it is because the main guy has no personality. but dont worry i didnt let that effect my vote, have a 4 on me.
