JACKSONVILLE, FL - The Jacksonville Suns are proud to announce that in conjunction with Duval County Public Schools, they will be holding an essay contest for 4th, 8th and 10th grade students. All students are encouraged to write a 300-500 word essay on their favorite hero and why. Essay will be due to each students' teacher by February 15, 2013.
Each school will select one entry to represent their school and submit it to the Jacksonville Suns. The Suns will then select a winner from each age group. Prizes will be awarded to each of the three winners including a personalized Suns jersey and $50 gift card to the 4th grade winner, a personalized Suns jersey and $75 gift card to the 8th grade winner and a one thousand dollar college scholarship, personalized Suns jersey and $100 gift card to the 10th grade winner. All three winners will also be recognized on Bragan Field before a Suns game during the 2013 season.
Suns Owner and President Peter D. Bragan Jr. has long been an advocate for reading in Duval County Public Schools. Since the late 80's he has personally visited quite a few elementary schools with his Casey's Challenge that encourages students to memorize the famous baseball poem Casey at the Bat for a special prize. In addition, the Suns will host three Celebration of Reading Days where schools are encouraged to take a fieldtrip to the ballpark for a fun-filled day at a Suns game. Duval County Media Specialists will also be honored for their contributions and accomplishments prior to a Suns game in 2013.
Peter D. Bragan Jr stated, "We are proud to partner with Duval County Public Schools and hopefully this program will help students as they prepare to take the FCAT writing test later in February." Duval County Public Schools Superintendent, Dr. Nikolai Vitti stated, "We are excited to be partnering with the Jacksonville Suns in promoting our students' literacy; and we deeply appreciate Mr. Bragan's generous sponsorship of an annual scholarship for our students. Partnerships like these will take our school system from good to great."

[[caption-width-right:350:[[LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters This isn't even close to being everyone.]]]]
Have you ever messed with one of those silly 12-character memes and gotten a "what if character X got character Y pregnant?" question, and then wondered what would have happened if that child was actually born?
The intrepid weirdos of a certain FanFictionDotNet forum did. And this is the RP (found [[https://www.fanfiction.net/forum/Deadly-Mistakes-or-We-Came-We-Saw-We-Mostly-Cried-A-Lot/130820/ here]]) they created based on that idea.
Then a few members of that group of intrepid weirdos turned out to be jerks and Gamergaters, so then a big bad SJW stole the RP along with all the decent members.
And then the group made a [[http://deadly-mistakes.wikia.com/wiki/The_New_and_Improved_Deadly_Mistakes_Wikia Wiki]]!
Now has its own [[ShoutOut/DeadlyMistakes Shout Out page]].

Am planning a vacation beginning of May for me & my husband both 55+ on the soutwest coast of Florida. We've never traveled there b4. Looking for a beachfront place condo or studio on a great beach with clear water & good food. Will have a car. Heard Sanibel was gorgeous but shelly & had murky water. Were considering Ft Meyers Beach or San Marco Island. Ft Myers more convenient trip from the airport, San Marco over an hr away. Heard Ft Myers had red tide. Unsure what to do. Found reasonable condos in both places. All opinions on these locations or others are welcome.

san marco or ft myers beach
Report Abuse
It's not San Marco Island, it's just Marco Island.
Report Abuse
Red tide report
I don't think you can predict if there will be a red tide at a certain place 3 months out.
Report Abuse
There is also Naples, which is between Ft. Myers and Marco Island.
Report Abuse
True, red tide is like a hurricane, there is no way to predict when they will occur. I will say that in the 40 years I have lived in Fl. I have only encountered red tide twice. Wouldn't obsess over it.
Report Abuse
read other forums that said Marco Isl was cleaner & less crowded than Ft Myers Beach. Don't know if that's true or not. But Ft Myers Beach is appealing due to proximity to the airport.
Report Abuse
While Ft Myers Beach may be closer to the airport as the crow flies ( is it?) much of the trip is on 4 lane streets with strip malls and traffic lights. Marco is accessed by interstate and other high speed roads.
Ft Myers is great, but I find Ft Myers Beach to be crowded, and getting over the bridges rom Ft Myers itself was a nightmare. Marco is a long way off and not a convenient base for touring other places, tho there are plenty of beach front condos if all you want to do is soak up the sun.
May is getting pretty close to being off season, so I would look in Naples, North Naples (Vanderbilt Beach) or Bonita Beach. Prices tend to come down once it gets hot.
Report Abuse
Go to Naples. No comparison with other areas. Go to VRBO.com and rent a place to stay by negotiating directly with the owner. Enjoy!

Appreciate the insight.
May want to go to Captiva or Sanibel for the day. Will meet friends for lunch in Naples. Hubby wants to tour the everglades & also do a wave runner tour.
But which has the better beach...Marco Isl or Naples?
Report Abuse
Looked on VBRO in Naples area, not much in 1 bedroom condos. Only thing I found that was beachfront was on Little Hickory Island/Bonita springs & the beach didn't look as nice as Marco Isl. Anyone familiar with Little Hickory Island?
Report Abuse
There are lots of one bedroom condos in Naples that you don't rent through VRBO. We rented once at Naples Cay, a high rise right on the beach in Naples and were quite happy with it.
I don't think you can distinguish very easily between beaches. None of them is anything like beaches in the north, or in the Panhandle or on the East coast of Florida. All of them are open to the public, and none is particularly crowded on weekdays, especially post season.
Report Abuse
The comparisons between Marco Island and Sanibel are kind of strange. Marco Island does have a nice beach, but overall it is filled with high rise condos, rows and rows of little strip malls, and is essentially an ugly concrete jungle (beach aside). Sanibel Island has only low rise buildings, miles and miles or beach, and has a "tropical and rustic, overgrown with vegetation" feel totally different from Marco Island.
You will not find any condos for rent ON the beach IN Naples -- but there are some north at Vanderbilt Beach.

We stayed at the Sommerset on Marco Island last summer and loved it. We rented from Century 21 and highly recommend them.
They are very professional and everything went very smooth.
Report Abuse
Thx for the input. Looked at the Sommerset but no 1 bedrooms for rent. Others rent by the month only. Don't mind the high rises on Marco since we'll be doing several day trips to Sanibel/Captiva, Naples, Everglades. We like to drive around and see the area. Primary housing interest is an ocean/gulf front condo with a great view at a good price since we'd like to do 3 vacations this year, one to Europe. The Apollo has several 1 bedrooms for less than $1,000 and many amenities. So far, that's our choice since we'll be there off season, beach should not be too crowded. Thx to everyone for your input. Greatly appreciated. Any reocmmendations for restaurants and beaches on Sanibel, Naples & Marco Isl are welcome. Would love some stone crabs.
Report Abuse
I walked down to the Apollo to try their beachfront bar/restaurant. It seemed to be very nice and the beach is wonderful. The thing I liked about Marco was there was no traffic, parking was easy, and no wait to get into restaurants. We rented a boat and went to Keywadin island which was the highlight of our trip. The kids took a jet ski tour of 10,000 islands that they said was fantastic. It left right off the beach in front of the Marriott hotel.
Report Abuse
Thanks for the info on Keywadin Island. What was there? Was it a great beach? How far away?
Also, was it a jet ski or waverunner tour of the 10,000 islands? I think my husband would love that? Can you have 2 on a waverunner?
How far away was the Marriot?
Report Abuse
Also, where did you rent the boat? For how long? and if I'm not too nosey, how much?
Report Abuse
Here is where we rented boat from:
prices are on there depending on type/size of boat. It was really easy and they give you a detailed map on how to get to keewaydin. We did a 10 person pontoon for half day it was $205. Keewaydin is a beautiful uninhabited barrier island only accessible by boat, very popular place.
Report Abuse
It was a waverunner tour, and yes two can go on one. My nephew and my daughter rode together. They got lucky and the other group did not show up so it turned out to be a private tour with just them and the guide. You can easily walk to the Marriott from the Apollo.

TYTYTYTYTYTY!!! These are great ideas! My husband will absolutely want to do both. It's his birthday week so I think I'll surprise him. Thanks again for the websites & activity ideas. They seem absolutely perfect for us both!

Glad to be of help. I think you will love Marco Island. I live in Orlando and have been to many different Florida beach towns over the years and Marco is one of my favorite. I actually looked at the Apollo first but I needed a 3 bedroom. I hope you will write a trip report when you return, I would love to hear how you liked it. Enjoy your trip!!!

Take a look a Bonita Beach. You seem to like to explore alot. Bonita beach is centrally located between Ft. Myers and Naples and close to the airport. You can cover Captiva to Marco within an hour. (good traffic) Lovers Key State Park is there.
Beach front condos there are probably less expensive than Naples, Sanibel, and +/- Marco.
Report Abuse
Thanks for the recommendation. Wish I read this sooner but we already booked on Marco. Yes, the prices were considerably lower & the trip from the airport would have been shorter. Next time! Thanks so much for the recommendation. Greatly Appreciated.
Report Abuse
OK. I get that the prices are lower in Marco -- of course they are. But the "trip from the airport is shorter" than to where? Surely not to Naples, Ft. Myers Beach, Bonita, or even TO Sanibel (not counting how long it might take to drive on Sanibel and Captiva).
But in any case, have a good time.

About This Winery

Founded in 1982 by Tony Soter, Etude Wines produces world-class Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon and Carneros Pinot Noir. Etude Wines is dedicated to mastering the craft of winegrowing. In classical music, an etude is a composition with a technical focus that allows the musician to practice a particular technique. Similarly, Etude wines are the product of deliberate concentration on the instructive variables of the craft.
The underlying philosophy at Etude Wines is that winemaking begins in the vineyard, months and even years before the grapes are harvested. The Etude winemaking team – Tony Soter, Jon Priest and Franci Ashton – believes that inspired grape growing diminishes the need for intervention by the winemaker, the end result being superior wines that are grown, not made. Collectively these people apply more than 50 years of experience in the quest to extract and evoke the most from the plants they tend in the places they grow, while at the same time treading lightly on the environment.

Fake Cop's 'Prostitution Sting' Leads to Sex Attack in El Segundo, Police Say
Stepp, left, and the at-large suspect via El Segundo police.
A woman who apparently offered escort services online was no easy prey when she was allegedly attacked by a suspect this week.
Police say the victim arranged to meet 33-year-old Wesley Robert Stepp at an El Segundo hotel room when the man identified himself as a cop who was conducting a "prostitution sting operation." Here's what authorities say happened next:
He flashed a badge, handcuffed her and "sexually assaulted the victim before taking
cash and property and fleeing with a second suspect," according to an El Segundo police statement.
It all happened Saturday, police said.
She reported the robbery to cops and, with the help of Redondo Beach detectives, El Segundo authorities tracked Stepp down in the city of L.A.
Now they want to track down that second suspect, a man in his late 20s or early 30s, about 6 feet, 1 inch, 170 pounds, with a bald head and a goatee. That suspect is on the right in the photo above.
Know who it might be? Call El Segundo detectives at 310-524-2284.

This new Deluxe Edition is a disgrace to Sony Home Ent.,
This review is from: Guys & Dolls (Widescreen Deluxe Edition) (DVD)
Yes, indeed! The booklet included is nice and glossy. Thanks! And the two documentaries added this time around are nice too. Thanks again! But what about the film itself? Has that been given the deluxe treatment as well?
Sad answer: Definitely NOT! As a matter of fact, this new "re-master" looks much worse than the previous DVD. That one was a very fuzzy non-anamorphic mess, but this new anamorphic one is just as fuzzy. In fact, when I put the old one in the zoom mode, there is no difference in focus and contrast whatsoever. And the colors are somewhat more warm and pleasant on the old edition. But worst of all, is that the new DVD is cropped on all four sides! There is quite a lot of more picture information available on the old disc, especially on top of the frame! So much for a Deluxe Edition! Shame on you, Sony/MGM-UA! Fans of this film - myself included - will have to keep the old DVD, and get this new one for the extras and the booklet. (The 2 stars above are for those inclusions alone.) This is certainly no way to treat loyal film fans and costumers willing to pay for an upgrade version of a beloved film!

Nowadays..well, especially for me, I want to know if a film will play with a front projector filling up the frame without zooming. Thus, if I have a 76" projection screen, that perfectly plays full width on normal settings new films like transformers, etc., then I want to know if some older DVD projects only about two thirds of the width of the screen, as they designed to be viewed on 50 inch CRT's at the max. Using a zoom function with new projectors does not work out. I come to the review areas of amazon looking for hints about this issue. Looks like the original MGM DVD release has not really been improved on, and only plays about 45 inches wide. This type of film needs the big treatment. FOr those of you not into front projection yet...It's the best way of all to watch movies at home, and can be done for less than 3 grand..including a 1080P projector, TOshiba HD player or Blue Ray..(Only plays blue ray, I think) and a hudnred dollar pull down screen. Speakers are another issue, along without a 5.1 channel or better amp. I'm using a sanyo Z 2000 projector which has a knockout of a picture, and can easily look good at 100 inches diagonal. I view it at just the distance where the very tiny pixels cannot be seen...around 8 feet with a 74 inch diagonal projection. It's unreal. Why Toshiba HD player now after HD has been discontinued? Because the top end player is now around $200 bucks new, and it upscales regular DVD's wonderfully, and many HD DVD's are now inexpensive. New versus old DVD example....How THe West Was Won has been re-leased on Blu Ray, and it fills the big screen with immaculate images, and the previous lines between the three sections have been reduced 100% in most of the film. (Shot with three cameras at once to produce the super wide cinerama or was it cinemascope look) The old DVD had poor sharpness, major transition lines in it, and a miserable watching experience...(didn't play full width of my pull down screen.)

The size of your screen has absolutely nothing to do with whether the image encompasses the screen. It's usually a matter of the image ratio of the original film,. or settings on your player or projector. I have the same projector as you, and agree it's a great projector, and viewing the larger image, with a good surround sound system is the only way to go - it brings you much closer to the cinema or live theatre experience. But, your projrctor part of the digital era, and is designed for a 16:9 screen. So you are probably watching a 4;3 film, which only fills about 2/3 of your 76" screen. It would only fill the same proportion of my 100' screen. DVDs, Blue-rays (or old tape formats for that matter) are not made for any particular range of screen size, but do relate to what is called Aspect Ratio.. If the image is 16:9 it will fill the width of any 16:9 display, from a 10" portable to a, say, 150" (arbitrary figure) front projection system, if the DVD has been manufactured properly. (And it is a mandatory industry standard that a Blu-ray player is backward compatible and play DVDs and CDs). And Cinerama came out not many years after CinemaScope (although there wa a silent film, "Napoleon", that had what amounted to a Cinerama final sequence that is incredible). Any wide-screen format can be made to show on a 16:9 system - it just means there will be appropriate black bars above and below the image if they are preserving the original proportions of the film.
Which brings us back to the most important point.Before CinemaScope, films were made with an image ratio of 4:3, known as :Hollywood Frame", and this is what analog TV used. After some years, the standard, non-CinemaScope-type image widened from the old Hollwood frame. For a while, this was called in the movie industry "wide-screen", but eventually, it became standard. It was close to the 16;9 image used in digital TV. So ordinary modern films are adapted to 16:9, and some CinemaScope type films had the sides cropped off (actually, it was usually a bit more comlicated than that, but we'll keep it simple). With the advent of larger screens and 16:9 digital, for a while, they kept on cropping. Now, they miinimize the cropping (on mosr releases - especially blu-ray) which causes the black bars above and below the picture, to preserve the image in something close to the original proportions (there still was quite a bit of cropping in How the West Was Won - Cinerama was a lot wider than CinemaScope).
If your old DVD had poor sharpness (remembering that Blu-rays are capable of a much sharper image with richer color), then it was made from a poor print of the film. Film has been capable of an image quality worthy of being transferred to Blu-ray right back to silent films. The trouble is how well the film has been preserved (and old film used a different base, called "nitrate" that deteriorated easily, rather than the acetate stock used since, I think, the late 40's, or early 50's).

Hi Bob,
I guess that Amazon is lax in not removing old reviews. I've been intrigued by the diversity of discussion for this release. As I like "Guys & Dolls", and don't have any version, I have ordered it (it is cheap), and I will write an up-to-date review. It will be 2-3 weeks, but I will try to be helpful.

ok i just brought the bluray part of the frank sinarta collection and it looks beauitful and the audio is 5.1 this is the only film in the box set that has 5.i audio it would of been nice if warner would remastered all the films the video picture is great but the sound is another thing on the town and robin and the seven hoods should be 5.1 surround sound.

I don't know if you are continuing to follow this, but I promised a reply.
I've finally received both DVD and Blu-ray of "Guys and Dolls". The quality and format of a film transfer to video depends entirely on the nature and quality of the film. "Guys and Dolls" was filmed in CinemaScope and good-quality multi-channel sound. [I don't know where the review these comments are following from, is coming from: it is totally screwed up . Vision and sound are both excellent, and this is on a 9' screen and very high-quality equipment]. The film was made in TechniColor, which, at that time, was still a brilliant technology for color film making. So the Blu-ray (and DVD) has an excellent picture quality, and as the soundtrack on the film was recorded in milti-channel , that was able to be adapted to 5.1 (The film itself is another matter, it is a rather poor version of "Guys and Dolls").
With "On the Town" (a brilliant movie, with a vastly better performance from Sinatra), the technolgy was a few years older, with 4:3 format and with only one channel of audio, and the quality of that is not as good as the later 'Guys and Dolls". You can't take average-quality single channnel sound and make it into into good 5.1 surround. (Actually you can, sort of, but it sounds terrible).
"Robin and the Seven Hoods" (also a poor movie, but if you are a Sinatra fan, that isn't so important) was filmed much later in a CinemaScope type format, and I am surprised it isn't in multi-channel sound. I would need to know more about the original sound format, and of the movie's restoration. Hope this has been helpfull.
PS. The cover n my Blu-ray of 'Guys and Dolls" is different to the review copy above.

Thanks for getting back bryan i agee with you about the films but as far as the films being in 5.1 audio every film on bluray should be in multi channel sound i have the cd from frank sinatras guys and dolls and robin and the seven hoods and its in stereo 3 track stereo to remaster a film these days because of a computer they just after flick a button and on the town would of been awesome in stereo sound one of gene kellys and sinatras best. well thanks again and have a good sunday bob.

Hi Bob,
Glad to be of some help.I have had CDs where the original had been mono and a synthetic stereo had been created; I have had programs to do this myself (by the way, CDs can only be 2-channel stereo, there's no such thing as 3-channel CDs). The technology that creates synthetic stereo can't add more to the audio than was originally there, so bits of the sound are pulled out of the original mono and the bits are distributed between the 2 channels. While this creates a spread of the sound, it is not true stereo (that's the best way I can describe it without getting very technical). And old mono recording generally does not have really low bass, so there is not enough bass to create a .1 channel. Also it would be impossible to create realistic surround channels; the information is just not there in the mono, and you can't create something out of nothing. This all adds up to why mono can't be magically turned into 5.1 There just isn't enough information in the original mono. Unfortunately there's a limit to what it is possible for computers to do. There are a very small number of movies that have tried synthetic stereo for the video release, but it isn't great. Sorry Bob, but all of this is fact.

Parker County Sheriff's Criminal Investigation Division is investigating a shooting call which occurred Friday morning.
Parker County Sheriff Larry Fowler said the incident happened in the 100 block of Links Lane, in Annetta around 7 a.m.
The victim was identified as part of a work crew which had been subcontracted by a utility company to install copper cable on the suspect's property this week. The suspect told deputies he did not want the victim on his property. The suspect also told deputies he shot the victim after the suspect repeatedly asked the victim to leave. The victim was reportedly shot in the foot and was transported to John Peter Smith Hospital in Fort Worth for his injury. His condition at this time was reported as serious but non-life threatening.

Aledo senior quarterback Luke Bishop and senior running back Jess Anders each ran for a pair of touchdowns to lead the No. 1 Bearcats to a 37-21 victory over El Paso De Valle Friday afternoon in a Class 5A Division I Region I semifinal in Midland.
Bishop scored on TD runs of 27 and 2 yards as Aledo built a 23-6 lead at the half.
The other Aledo first-half points came on a 13-yard return to the end zone by Sam Holzschuh after a blocked punt, and the Bearcats earned 2 points on a return to the end zone after a blocked extra point by Patrick Peek.
Del Valle cut the lead to 23-14 before Anders was inserted into the game for the first time in the third quarter.

Ghana's mixed fortune as a dumping ground for e-waste
07 Apr 2013 15:48 GMT | Politics, Africa, Niger, Nigeria
Armed men have ambushed a police boat in Nigeria's oil-producing Niger Delta region, leaving 12 officers missing and presumed dead, security officials said.
Police Commissioner Kingsley Omire said on Sunday the boat, carrying 50 police officials, was heading to a funeral late on Friday.
The vessel developed engine problems in one of the winding creeks of the swampy delta region that is home to Africa's biggest oil industry, he said. "The craft developed engine problem was now isolated and the officers became soft target for some hoodlums, who we have confirmed were part of a militant group that was supposed to be enjoying an amnesty," Omire said.
A Nigerian security source, who could not be named because he was not authorized to speak to the media, said the 12 were very likely all dead, although Omire said all others on the boat were safe.New threats
Sunday's ambush came days after the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND), the main group which has been fighting for a greater share of the country's oil wealth, a threatened to restart attacks in retaliation for the jailing of leader Henry Okah by a South African court.The group had agreed in 2009 to halt attacks in the delta after the government promised to look into its grievances.
Omire said the ambush was carried out by gunmen once loyal to Kile Selky Torughedi, who headed MEND's southern wing.
But he denied there was a link to the threat by the group, whose attacks cut oil production in Nigeria by around half before the amnesty.
He instead blamed a dispute between the gunmen and the government over their amnesty payments - underscoring the fragility of the peace that has been achieved in the delta by paying off thousands of fighters to silence their guns.
The government is keen to end amnesty payments but fears the move could trigger renewed attacks. Any new attacks would be a blow to President Goodluck Jonathan, who helped negotiate the amnesty and who is from the same Ijaw ethnic group as most of the armed men.
His administration's security forces are already stretched by armed groups in the north.

GTA new home market prices susceptible to supply and demand: BILD
GTA housing affordability is a subject that is being discussed by the development community as well as consumers.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
View 2 photoszoom
I know that it's not just the building industry thinking about how young people are going to be able to afford their first home; the complex issue is being discussed around dinner tables around the GTA.
It's not easy to explain over the course of a meal, or even in a 500-word column, but I've got some insight I'd like to share about the affordability of a new home, which is directly affected by supply and demand.
We've got demand in the GTA and it's clear by the number of people who choose this burgeoning region as their home, about 100,000 annually, that people want to live here.
Public policy has an impact on the housing market. For example, we have provincial policy that protects areas such as the Greenbelt, as well as policy directing where and how the GTA is supposed to grow over the next 20 years.
When looking at the supply end of the equation, I look to three key indicators.
With the help of RealNet Canada, BILD's source of market intelligence, we monitor these indicators, and we have been for years.
For my first indicator, the average price of a home, I look back 10 years to when the market looked very different than it does today. Back in 2003, the majority of new homes for sale were in the lowrise sector, which includes detached, semi-detached and townhomes, and the average price was $321,542.
This region is forecast to welcome 2 million more people over the next two decades and they have to live and work somewhere. However, at the end of last year, the average price of a new ground-related home in the GTA reached $632,868. That's 16 per cent higher than the prior year.
Here's where my second indicator comes in: the difference in price between a lowrise home and a highrise home. The data shows that 10 years ago that spread was $67,133 and last year it was $196,844.
The imbalance in the market has compromised affordability and housing choices for purchasers.
And this brings me to my third indicator: the remaining inventory of new ground-related homes in the GTA. At the end of last year, there were just over 7,500 new detached, semi-detached and townhomes remaining for sale across the GTA.
That might sound like a lot, but just four years ago, that number was double.
And here's why it's a problem: at some point, today's young adults are going to want to buy a home and it's going to be increasingly difficult to find something that suits their lifestyle, in the neighbourhood they want to live in, and at a price they can afford.
We all have to work together — the industry, government, special interest groups and residents — to make sure anyone who wants to live in the GTA can find a place to call home.

Developers invited to Google Glass event for 'two-days of full-on hacking'
Google has announced two Google Glass developer events in New York and San Francisco for developers who bought the company's $1,500 developer edition.
The events will be focused on giving them a chance to "have a device to use while on-site".
Dubbed the Google Glass Foundry events, they will allow developers to see what they can do with Google Glass Mirror API and have Google engineers on hand to assist with any questions. The API "gives you the ability to exchange data and interact with the user over REST", according to Google.
Registration begins 18 January at 4pm and open spots are sure to go quick.
The Glass Foundry San Francisco event will be taking place 28 and 29 January at the Google SF office, and the Glass Foundry New York on 1 and 2 February at the Google NYC office.
Babak Parviz, head of the Google Glass project, said in an interview this month that a cloud-based API will also eventually be released so developers can integrate their Android apps into Google Glass. The Mirror API this month will be a good start.

Electric Touch: Electric Touch
Electric Touch, the eponymous debut album by the Austin-based four-piece — two of whom hail from Houston — reaches a level of sophistication to which most new(ish) bands can only aspire. In opener "Love in Our Hearts," lead singer Shane Lawlor's gritty voice — easily comparable to that of a young Robert Plant or Mick Jagger — commands the listener's immediate attention: "I don't want no one unless I got you." A mix of blues, Britpop and rock and roll, it's a perfect introduction to Electric Touch, the band and the album. "Dance" and "Give Me a Sign" are energetic, frenzied and fun; Electric Touch does rely heavily on guitars to structure songs, but its songwriting is far from limited. In the ballad "Saved," Lawlor, who also plays the keyboard, paints a melancholy picture of loneliness and hope: "The acetone nights underneath the factory lights / another pretty dreamer, another lonely night lies on street corners." No matter how poetic the lyrics get, though, the music on Electric Touch never loses its intensity and sensual undercurrent. Seamlessly produced, Electric Touch still manages to capture the band's lively stage presence — quite an impressive feat for a group that has been together for barely a year.

Pathfinder Society Scenario #6–97: Siege of Serpents (PFRPG) PDF
A Necromancer's Grimoire: Secrets of the Witch (PFRPG) PDF
Necromancers of the Northwest(based on 3 ratings)
Double, Double, Toil and Trouble!
A Necromancer's Grimoire: Secrets of the Witch provides a wide variety of new content for anyone who likes witches, including new hexes, alternate familiar special abilities, and a number of new and interesting feats. Further, it provides a new 20-level base class for characters interested in playing as a green hag, which grants them all the powers of a normal green hag over the first eleven levels, and then grants new green hag-themed abilities for the remainder of the class.
The book isn't just for witches, however, and its main focus is something any arcane spellcaster can appreciate: a wide array of feats and spells designed to allow spellcasters to form covens—groups of spellcasters who work together to collaboratively cast spells. Though casting as a coven requires some effort, it allows casters to master far more powerful spells than they would be able to on their own.
From the makers of Advanced Arcana Volume I and The Ebon Vault: Orbs of Power, A Necromancer's Grimoire: Secrets of the Witch provides you with rules for playing a green hag character, everything you could want to customize and flesh out your witch, rules for casting spells as a coven, and 30 new spells designed to be cast collaboratively, and makes a fine addition to any mage's library.
