From the creators of WarioWare, the Rhythm Heaven franchise has been a subject of envy for Western players with the GBA and arcade iterations remaining Japanese exclusives. This quirky music game has finally arrived for the DS in the states, but does it live up to its reputation or strike all the wrong chords?
Rather than throwing you into a sea of options, Rhythm Heaven places you on a linear path through its musical mini-games. Each song starts with a brief training session, followed by the main act. If you do well, you'll be given a passing grade and you can move on to the next song. If you do poorly, you'll have to try again, but if you continue to struggle, after a few tries the game will offer you a chance to move on. Topping off each set is a remix that blends the four previous games into one song, testing your ability to switch beats on the fly.
If you earn superb grades, you'll be rewarded with medals used to unlock additional side activities. There are endless rhythm games like the coin toss, rhythm toys like the business card box, and a series of guitar lessons. From time to time, you'll also be challenged to achieve a perfect score on a specific song. You only get three attempts and the pressure to perform can be nerve wracking. Success nets you some extra bonus material, but the accomplishment itself outweighs the rewards.
With two dozen unique events, six remixes, and a variety of unlockable games and toys, there's more to Rhythm Heaven than you might initially expect. After the credits roll, you'll gain access to a new batch of harder variations, and replaying songs to perfect your scores can whittle away hours before you know it.
As its name implies, Rhythm Heaven is all about keeping the beat, but rather than simply emulating a series of instruments, each song presents a different quirky rhythmic situation. You might control a farmer picking beets, a player at a tennis table match, or a dog ninja slicing up flying vegetables. This is where the WarioWare influence comes in.
When playing Rhythm Heaven, you hold the DS book-style with both screens side by side. Animations take place on the upper screen with the touch screen serving solely as a controller, allowing you to tap, rub, or flick depending on the song. For such simple actions there's a pretty wide range of implementations. You'll flick bolts through panels in time to the beat, match phrases as a moai statue, or peck and stretch as an enlisted blue bird responding to its commander's marching calls.
As you progress, the challenge increases with more complex beats and additional patterns to memorize. When you miss a beat, you might get an evil eye from your fellow performers, but since it's all rhythm-based, you can literally play with your eyes closed. In one case, it's actually better to do so since the visuals are incredibly distracting.
Once in a while it can be hard to time flicks appropriately, but overall, the touch controls feel great and the slide mechanic adds an extra layer to the addicting rhythm gameplay.
Like WarioWare before it, Rhythm Heaven follows an intentionally crude blend of 2D and 3D art styles that vary from one mini-game to the next. Whether it's a ghostly guitarist, a monochrome karate man, or a square-headed tennis player, every character brims with personality. All of Rhythm Heaven's tunes are original and maintain a catchy J-pop vibe that sticks with you long after you finish playing. A handful of vocal performances lack enthusiasm, but they aren't a significant detraction from the overall presentation.
Both the music and mini-game markets have become quite crowded since the original Japanese GBA release, but Rhythm Heaven still stands out among the crowd with its charming presentation, catchy original tunes, and addictive gameplay. This is one beat you don't want to miss.

Darac Grill and Bar is a fabulous Korean restaurant in A'Beckett St CBD and a class above many others. This is a place that visits the fine dining realm with great ambience and smart service.
The great vibe is as decent as the superb food and service. This place is full of quirky items from suspended aeroplanes to old sewing machines. Funky music plays while loud conversation fills the room. Someone planned this place well because everything hums nicely.
Get out your pencil and creatively fill in the lunch menu. You know you've been working with documents all morning – here's a chance to really make it count. The lunch special is fantastic with a choice within each of 3 options - from the rice to the main and finally the side dish. Staff were accommodating in helping me make my choices – I always want to know what is the popular dish to go for.
I ordered the dumplings as entree on one occasion and the octopus as the entrée (could have gone for crab meat) on another occasion. As well as steamed rice and the pork belly both times. The food was sensational and well presented. The dumplings are tasty albeit small. The octopus balls were delicate and flavoursome. The rice was cooked to perfection. And the pork belly was also done well, not dry, but marinated superbly and cooked wonderfully. It was all graced with a tasty small salad. I thought there and then that I will rave about this place.
The ambience is cool throughout with the open kitchen, distressed look tables, the mismatched lamps, the cartoon on the wall and that cardboard moose. So much going on. You can also sit out the front and enjoy the ambience of A'Beckett Street.
I eyed this place off as a great venue for groups or even a romantic evening.

As Ugly Betty wraps up its final season Wednesday (10/9c, ABC), We talked to series creator and executive producer Silvio Horta about the emotions behind shutting down a show after four years and what kind of finale he did and did not want to make.
(Once you've watched the episode, check back Thursday morning for our exclusive chat with Horta about the series finale.)
Reporter: How does it feel to be done?
Silvio Horta: Bittersweet at times, but good.
Reporter: What did you set out to accomplish with the series finale?
Horta: Primarily, I wanted it to be about Betty's journey, about Betty making it in her professional life, first and foremost, overcoming the obstacles in her past and really succeeding. For me, it was about seeing the end of one chapter and getting to an optimistic place where a new chapter was beginning.
Photo Gallery: Ugly Betty's fabulous fashions
Reporter: And what kind of romantic story were you aiming for?
Horta: I think with any TV show, the romantic angle is always what people really care about, but that was never the intent of this show.
Reporter: Were there a lot of tears shooting this episode?
Horta: Yes. It was really, really difficult. It's such an intense experience and everyone really loves each other. The very first cut I saw of the finale, I was like, "Wait, we need to pull the sobs," because there's so many real tears people were shedding in the episode. It's more effective when someone's fighting back tears as opposed to just crying all the time.

Reporter: And how are you dealing with the end?
Horta: It took awhile to hit me. It was in the last week or so where it really started to get me and it was very odd times; it was intense. It's been a big part of my life. You just grapple with it, a death of sorts, but without the death part.
Ugly Betty Poll: 73 Percent of voters want Betty and Daniel together
Reporter: Do you want to say anything to the Ugly Betty fans?
Horta: Especially as it's been coming to an end this season, the general consensus is that we've been making great stuff for the people. It's a great feeling to know we did something people respond to and love and we have such affection for, so thank you for keeping us on the air as long as you did.

New NSA spying allegations rile European allies
In this picture, taken Saturday June 29, 2013, a demonstrator protests with a poster against NSA in Hanover, Germany. Germany's top justice official says reports that U.S. intelligence bugged European Union offices remind her of "the methods used by enemies during the Cold War." Justice Minister Sabine Leutheusser-Schnarrenberger was responding to a report by German news weekly Der Spiegel on Sunday June 30, 2013, that claimed the National Security Agency has eavesdropped on EU offices in Washington, New York and Brussels. The magazine cited classified U.S. documents taken by NSA leaker Edward Snowden that it said it had partly seen. The documents reportedly describe the European Union as a "target" for surveillance. (AP Photo/dpa, Peter Steffen)
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Obama administration faced a breakdown in confidence Sunday from key foreign allies who threatened investigations and sanctions against the U.S. over secret surveillance programs that reportedly installed covert listening devices in European Union offices.
U.S. intelligence officials said they will directly discuss with EU officials the new allegations, reported in Sunday's editions of the German news weekly Der Spiegel. But the former head of the CIA and National Security Agency urged the White House to make the spy programs more transparent to calm public fears about the American government's snooping.
It was the latest backlash in a nearly monthlong global debate over the reach of U.S. surveillance that aims to prevent terror attacks. The two programs, both run by the NSA, pick up millions of telephone and Internet records that are routed through American networks each day. They have raised sharp concerns about whether they violate public privacy rights at home and abroad.
Several European officials — including in Germany, Italy, France, Luxembourg and the EU government itself — said the new revelations could scuttle ongoing negotiations on a trans-Atlantic trade treaty that, ultimately, seeks to create jobs and boost commerce by billions annually in what would be the world's largest free trade area.
"Partners do not spy on each other," said EU Justice Commissioner Viviane Reding. "We cannot negotiate over a big trans-Atlantic market if there is the slightest doubt that our partners are carrying out Login to read more

A car accident can leave you a little bewildered and unsure about what to do next.
But according to the Insurance Information Institute, there are several steps you should take following a car accident to help ensure your safety and the safety of others, and to give your insurance company the necessary information to process your claim. Take some time to review the following tips on what to do after a car accident so that, if you find yourself involved in a collision or other accident, you'll be better prepared to handle the situation.
Perform an on-the-spot health assessment of everyone involved. Start with yourself. Normally, your first instinct may be to throw open your driver's-side door and get out of your car. But before you do this, take stock of your physical condition and ensure you're well enough to get up and walk around. Next, check on your passengers before taking any further steps. If you suspect that anyone's been injured at all, get on your cellphone and dial 911. If you don't have a phone with you, ask a bystander to call for emergency medical services
Get out of the line of danger. Just because your vehicle has come to a rest doesn't mean that you're out of the line of danger. Other vehicles can still be moving in the vicinity. If your car is blocking traffic and is still operational, try to pull to the side of the road. If your car is too damaged, or if you think it might not be safe to operate, get everyone to safety (to the side of the road, the sidewalk or as far as necessary to ensure safety). Turn on your car's hazard lights and set out road flares to alert approaching traffic and prompt them to slow down.
Call the police. Even if the damage to your vehicle is minor and even if nobody's suffered any injuries, it's important to have the police complete an official report—in some states, it's a legal requirement. A police report can also be helpful in filing an auto insurance claim (make sure to ask how you can get a copy).
Document the scene. While you're waiting for the police to arrive, take pictures of the accident scene, all the vehicles involved and, if it makes sense, any injuries; jot down notes so you have a detailed record of what happened. Taking photos can help protect you against the possibility of the other party trying to alter the scene, changing the story of how the accident occurred, or even leaving before the police have arrived.
Exchange insurance information with the other driver. Make note of the following information:
An accident can leave even the most seasoned driver frazzled, but following these steps can help protect you against unnecessary worries and will give your insurance company enough detailed information to begin processing your claim as smoothly and as quickly as possible.
If you're looking for an auto insurance policy to protect you against the unexpected, start now with a quote from Allstate.com.

Christ in Us is the Hope of Glory
What do we make of the Old Testament God who commanded the children of Israel to commit genocide, pillage and other atrocities? Could this "God" be a projection of the shadow self – a mirror image of the dark side of humanity – of the people living in the Old Testament times? Would this be the reason these people were killing and plundering other tribes in the name of "God" and being intolerant of those who did not worship the same "God" as they did? How do we reconcile such a petty, vengeful and barbaric "God" with the New Testament God we read in the Bible – One whom Jesus revealed as our loving "heavenly Father"?
According to this website:
"The shadow self is what sabotages our relationships, jobs, it denies our spirit, keeps us from realizing our destiny and dreams. It is what we sweep under the rug. It gets buried and repressed into our deep unconscious self. ….. Other people mirror back our hidden emotions and feelings. Owning to manifest your full potential you have to claim the parts of yourself that you denied, hidden or given away to others to act out for you. If you keep attracting people with similar qualities or traits in your life it is to show you what aspects you are disowning in yourself. This gives us an opportunity to recognize them and reclaim them."
"It is a frightening thought that man also has a shadow side to him, consisting not just of little weaknesses- and foibles, but of a positively demonic dynamism." – Carl Jung
So in view of understanding the human psyche, here are my thoughts on 2 Kings 10:18-27 about the killing of worshippers of another faith:
The old testament prophets and kings didn't really hear God correctly – more likely they heard the voice of the conscience/Satan/dark side of their humanity.
They saw God in their own darkened image. The old testament God – the one that was judgmental and vindictive – was simply a mirror of their shadow self.
We know that Jesus is God and He came to show people what God is truly like. So if God = Jesus, therefore God doesn't destroy lives, but saves and heals.
Therefore, any command the prophets or kings thought they heard regarding killing the enemies or outsiders or unbelievers or worshippers of another faith, is not from God.
The Bible may have recorded those events, but it doesn't mean God was behind those killings or God supports them.
Jesus said, "He who has seen Me has seen the Father." All the old testament folks had never seen the Father. They saw mostly a mirror image of their duality manifesting in terms of good and evil, light and dark, but not a unified image of God who doesn't dwell in duality but in unity – in tune with Himself.
Hence, Jesus came to renew people's minds, so that our thoughts flow in tune with God's thoughts once more. This is the rhythm I believe Rob Bell was referring to in his video "Rhythm".
When people begin to see themselves as whole and complete, made in God's image, they recover their true identity, and they become integrated in every way. "By Him (Jesus), all things are held together (or are integrated)."
The old testament folks dwelt in duality, and out of their disintegrated and distorted image of God and of themselves, they ended up doing cruel things, like genocide, etc, all in the name of "God".
Jesus rebuked James and John for wanting to call the fire of heaven to consume the Samaritans, saying that "You do not know what manner of spirit you are of. The Son of Man did not come to destroy but to save man's lives." I believe it's because Elijah did not have the same spirit of grace as Jesus has. Elijah was heeding the voice of his seared conscience (sin-consciousness and self-righteousness), not the voice of God the Father.
The children of Israel thought they had to fight and kill in order to possess a physical promised land. Jesus came to show them the true rest – "Cease striving and know I am God (we are gods)".
What happened in AD70 is not the vengeance or punishment in the physical sense from God – it was the suffering and torment in the conscience of those who were under the old covenant of law mindset, thinking that God is Someone who judges and condemns. It was the voice of their fallen mindset accusing them, and thinking that the attack of the Roman army on Jerusalem was caused by God, when actually it was their mirror image of the schizophrenic God that they had mistakenly believed in, because they refused to believe the good news that Jesus is their true identity.

"Cleansed from an Evil Conscience" by Colin Lagerwall
I loved this post because much of our current view of the Bible originates from the Reformation period and the idea of sola scriptura. It seemed like a good idea at a time when worldview was shaped by the feudal system view of judgement, justice etc. This led to (intentionally or unintentionally) the idea that the God of the OT was different from the God of the NT (or maybe started taking Prozac in the inter-testament period) and to questions like "what kind of God would ….?"
One answer is that God is God and can do whatever He damn well wants to. Although very much true, another alternative is that the OT writers were guided at times by their own emotions. The authors expressed their own perception (or those that were passed down to them) of particular events and not that the Holy Spirit possessed the writer (their eyes rolled upward with only their sclera exposed in a glowing aqua color while their hand wrote). Admittedly, the prophets were probably given more specific words as they were messengers God sent to remind Israel of how they were doing with respect to their covenant.
I appreciated your statement that although the Bible recorded those events, God may not have been behind those killings or even supported them. This view of the Bible (especially of the OT) goes a long way in addressing the view of a split personality God. This does not mean that the OT isn't useful, but that one should consider that along with translation errors and cultural differences was the potential that the authors wrote in the voice of their own humanity.
More important to us is that Jesus came to reveal the Father and that He is love. Difficult to comprehend scriptures may just reflect that the writers were human and influenced by their own emotions. The Holy Spirit, and not sola scriptura, is our real guide to knowing the heart of God as revealed by Jesus.
Many thanks for your post.
Thanks for your kind words and encouragement, Jim.
It is fine to draw from secular culture to support, or rather, help clarify Biblical concepts- but we must not build the other way around. It is a mistake to read the Bible in light of Jungian concepts- I'm not playing hate on Carl Jung but note that he was NOT a believer and employed various occult practices in the development of his theories. Thank God for the Spirit of Truth!
The main problem created by your reconciliation of the O.T. God with the one in the New (I'm not playing hate on you, either- rock on! I appreciate the fact you are speaking to a troubling issue which is confusing for many and does not seem to jive with what we see in Christ. You handled it intelligently and creatively) is that you have bought into the popular criticism spun that the God of the Old Testament sponsored genocide and other evil acts. You reconcile this by suggesting what we have received in Scripture is the product of a warped perception of God by His, at that time, spiritually-handicapped servants… But, to do this undermines the innerancy and infallibility of divine revelation as we understand it. Your argument supposes the problem to be with GOD'S WORD, rather than with our understanding of it. To be sure, the Old Testament (and new) record the acts and thoughts of many of God's servants who have completely missed the mark and are acting out of line with His purpose. The Golden Calf is a good example, or Ecclesiastes (the cynical, pointless life of one living "under the sun" as opposed to one in light of the Son) or Samson or whatever, the list goes on and on. The Old Testament is a colossal record of man's failure to perceive and move with YHWH while God remains faithful and continually makes a way for those that diligently seek Him…
However, your argument above does not apply to the fact that when YHWH ordered the COMPLETE annihilation of the Canaanites, every man, woman, child (babies!) and their animals and loot, too, that is exactly what He meant (the Israelites failed at that command, too, by the way.) It was not genocide because God is a righteous judge of HIS CREATION and our lives are already forfeit because of sin, so- not genocide but capital punishment to be carried out by the instrument of His choice at that time, His Theocratic tribal-nation of Israel. That the Canaanites had hundreds of years of merciful time to repent (from Abraham to Joshua) must be considered. Additionally, God dealt with His Chosen People the same way when they began to act like the people they disposessed.
The point of reconciliation between the Old and the New is, of course, Jesus and Calvary. Life is different for us today because the righteous wrath of God and requirement for all sin has been met in the atoning sacrifice of our Obedient Master, Jesus the King of Kings and Lord of Lords (insert "HALLELUJA!!!!" here.) The world is no longer being "smoted"(?) for sin. The Good News of Grace is that God is NOT mad at us and you can receive life if you want it! Jesus makes it very plain who the destroyer is and it is not His Father, or mine or yours if you are in Christ (insert another "Hallelujah!" here.)
Again, back to the Bible-interpretation-issue-thingy-
Accept the fact that God's Word is eternal, true and sure (Mat.24:35). If you are full of- and submitting to- the Holy Spirit He can make you of good understanding, you have the mind of Christ! Jesus is the LIVING WORD! By all means, practice sound hermeneutics and read things in context and with the cultural mind set of the time and place it was penned, but be formed by the Scripture and not the other way around. The problems are never with the Word, only our current understanding of it, and I say this as someone who survived a liberal seminary with my faith intact. SOLA JESU, BABY! THANK YOU FOR THE GRACE!!!!
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. You have a point that Jesus is the Living Word.
As for God being a righteous judge, I would see it from Jesus' point of view – His justice is not to punish sinners (whom we all were, according to our old Adamic mindset), but to deliver us from oppression. Jesus came to set free those who were oppressed by religion.
The people living in the old testament, who lived before Jesus came as a revelation of God, thought they were separated from God, hence they were living in spiritual darkness, not knowing they are one with God.
Hence, Jesus has come to open the eyes of the blind. He came to awaken us to who we really are. We are all God's children, and there is no separation between us and God, and there is no separation among ourselves.
Salvation is not about being saved from an "angry God" or from a physical torture chamber in the afterlife (which many christians equate with hell). Salvation is about being saved from ignorance of God's love and our true identity. We are to be saved from religion and legalism that brings fear and condemnation, so that we can experience wholeness in every way.

Love, Love, Love Them
"I love these shoes. They are so cute. I originally ordered a size 3 for my 10 month old daughter, which was her normal size, but they were too big. I ended up keeping them longer than expected and by the time I exchanged them, I had to order a size 5. However, they are still a little big, but she could grow into them by winter time. She's 19 months now and she LOVES the boots. She didn't want to take them off when I tried them on her. Good pick!"

This article was previously published under Q257592
In Microsoft Windows NT 4.0, all entries specific to file type associations are stored in the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes (HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT is an alias of location)For computers running Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0, Terminal Server Edition, you need the Peruser tool to allow these settings to be copied to each user profile so you can configure this information on a per-user basis.
In Windows 2000 and Windows Server 2003, a new location is added for storage of user-specific file type associations in the following registry key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\ClassesThis location allows for unique customization of file type associations in the user's profile, without having to duplicate information in multiple registry locations and unnecessarily increase the registry size.
In Windows 2000 and Windows Server 2003, information stored in the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes registry key still contains global file type associations that are global to all users of the computer. However, entries that reside in the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Classes registry key take precedence in the event of a duplication.
The user interface (UI) still points to the global settings in the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes registry key. In addition, security is changed so that only members of the Administrators or Power Users group have permissions to this dialog box. This affects workstations, servers, and servers in Remote Administration mode.
On computers running Windows 2000 Terminal Services in Application Server mode, the UI may be locked down so that no one can change file type associations (not even administrators). This is done so that you can only edit the entries programmatically or by using MSI-based applications. This ensures that an inadvertent change in the UI does not effect the global file type associations across the computer running Terminal Services and all of its users. When this policy is enabled, the New, Delete, Change, and Advanced buttons are unavailable on the File Types tab of the Folder Options tool in Control Panel.
You can enable this functionality by changing the following registry entry:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer] "NoFileAssociate"=dword:00000000
Important This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you follow these steps carefully. For added protection, back up the registry before you modify it. Then, you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:Changing this key from its default value of 00000001 enables the File Types dialog box to function just as it does for other Windows 2000 configurations. Administrators and Power Users can change the global file type settings for the computer and all of its users.
(https://support.microsoft.com/kb/322756/ )How to back up and restore the registry in Windows
Currently, there is no way through the UI to change or edit the user-specific file type associations stored in the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Classes registry key. If you want to do this, you have to directly edit the registry or develop your own UI to gain access to this information.
For more information, search on HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT in the Technical Reference to the Windows 2000 Registry in the Microsoft Windows 2000 Resource Kit.

YIELD: Serves 4
- 3 small pears, peeled, halved, cored
- 1 cup Essencia or other sweet dessert wine
- 1/2 vanilla bean
- 2/3 cup shelled unsalted pistachios (about 3 ounces)
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1 large egg
- 2 frozen puff pastry sheets (one 17 1/4-ounce package), thawed
- 1 egg, beaten to blend (glaze)
- Finely chopped pistachios
- Fresh mint leaves
Combine pear halves and 1 cup dessert wine in heavy medium saucepan. Scrape in seeds from vanilla bean; add bean. Bring wine to boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer until pears are just tender, turning occasionally, about 10 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer pear halves to paper towels and drain well. Boil pear poaching liquid in saucepan until reduced to 2 tablespoons, about 7 minutes. Set glaze aside.
Finely grind 2/3 cup unsalted pistachios and sugar in processor. Add unsalted butter and egg; blend just until filling is combined. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover pears and nut filling separately and refrigerate. Cover glaze and let stand at room temperature.)
Unfold pastry sheets on work surface; press out folds. Using 4 1/4-inch scalloped round cookie cutter, cut out four rounds from each sheet. Using 3 1/2-inch round from cookie cutter, cut out one 3 1/2-inch round from each of four rounds (reserve 3 1/2-inch rounds for another use); set pastry rings aside. Brush egg glaze over outer edges of four 4 1/4-inch solid rounds. Pierce rounds all over with fork. Top each with one pastry ring. Transfer pastries to baking sheet. Freeze 15 minutes. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead; cover and keep frozen).
Preheat oven to 375°F. Bake pastries 10 minutes, piercing centers with fork if centers rise. Remove from oven. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F.
Spoon 1/4 of nut filling into center of each pastry. Slice pear halves and arrange atop filling, covering completely. Bake until pastries are golden brown, about 20 minutes. Cool pastries at least 30 minutes and up to 1 hour. Brush pears with glaze. Sprinkle chopped pistachios around pears. Garnish with fresh mint leaves and serve.

(adapted from Joy of making cookies, Alan Goh)
Not too long after, i decided to bake it again.
This time, the maid took over the reign while i settled the boys. Not a minute of help from me at all…
Boy, was she stressed up or what. No, not because of me definitely.. i'm not that essential yet. Heh. But it was the new cookie maker -which she asked me to buy- that stressed her up! She was having such a hard time getting the dough out nicely.
Poor her. By the time she was done, she didn't even wanna look at the cookies anymore, let alone.. test them.
Meanie pot me just sat down on the floor and looked on, laughing, teasing and happily snapping her pictures away :P
Though unsightly, they were still good to eat.
(maid's creation)
And guess what the thick skin me did?
I gave them away, to 2 good friends :D
Coz it was meant for them in the first place …
Silently, i prayed that the gfs didn't mind!
It was meant to be a surprise when i dropped it (+ other stuffs too) of at their respective humble abodes..
But the table got turned around instead.
You know why?
I came back with these!
For my 3 terrorists…
I really didn't expect it at all!
I must say.. i was deeply touched. So awesome of them!
Thank you.
And bestie will drive hb's and my share over tomorrow because she totally forgotten about the gift in the fridge.
I feel….

New York: The Novelby Edward Rutherfurd
Winner of the David J. Langum, Sr. , Prize in American Historical Fiction Named one of the best books of the year byThe Washington Postand "Required Reading" by theNew York Post Edward Rutherfurd celebrates America's greatest city in a rich, engrossing saga, weaving together tales of families rich and poor, native-born and immigrant-a cast of fictional and true characters whose fates rise and fall and rise again with the city's fortunes. From this intimate perspective we see New York's humble beginnings as a tiny Indian fishing village, the arrival of Dutch and British merchants, the Revolutionary War, the emergence of the city as a great trading and financial center, the convulsions of the Civil War, the excesses of the Gilded Age, the explosion of immigration in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, the trials of World War II, the near demise of New York in the 1970s and its roaring rebirth in the 1990s, and the attack on the World Trade Center. A stirring mix of battle, romance, family struggles, and personal triumphs,New York: The Novelgloriously captures the search for freedom and opportunity at the heart of our nation's history.
Paris: The Novelby Edward Rutherfurd
From the grand master of the historical novel comes a dazzling, epic portrait of the City of Light Internationally bestselling author Edward Rutherfurd has enchanted millions of readers with his sweeping, multigenerational dramas that illuminate the great achievements and travails throughout history. In this breathtaking saga of love, war, art, and intrigue, Rutherfurd has set his sights on the most magnificent city in the world: Paris. Moving back and forth in time across centuries, the story unfolds through intimate and vivid tales of self-discovery, divided loyalties , passion, and long-kept secrets of characters both fictional and real, all set against the backdrop of the glorious city--from the building of Notre Dame to the dangerous machinations of Cardinal Richlieu; from the glittering court of Versailles to the violence of the French Revolution and the Paris Commune; from the hedonism of the Belle Époque, the heyday of the impressionists, to the tragedy of the First World War; from the 1920s when the writers of the Lost Generation could be found drinking at Les Deux Magots to the Nazi occupation, the heroic efforts of the French Resistance, and the 1968 student revolt. With his unrivaled blend of impeccable research and narrative verve, Rutherfurd weaves an extraordinary narrative tapestry that captures all the glory of Paris. More richly detailed, more thrilling, and more romantic then anything Rutherfurd has written before, Paris: The Novel wonderfully illuminates hundreds of years in the City of Light and Love and brings the sights, scents, and tastes of Paris to sumptuous life.
The Princes of Irelandby Edward Rutherfurd
From the internationally bestselling author of London and Sarum -- a magnificent epic about love and war, family life and political intrigue in Ireland over the course of seventeen centuries. Like the novels of James Michener, The Princes of Ireland brilliantly interweaves engrossing fiction and well-researched fact to capture the essence of a place.Edward Rutherfurd has introduced millions of readers to the human dramas that are the lifeblood of history. From his first bestseller, Sarum, to the #1 bestseller London, he has captivated audiences with gripping narratives that follow the fortunes of several fictional families down through the ages. The Princes of Ireland, a sweeping panorama steeped in the tragedy and glory that is Ireland, epitomizes the power and richness of Rutherfurd's storytelling magic.The saga begins in pre-Christian Ireland with a clever refashioning of the legend of Cuchulainn, and culminates in the dramatic founding of the Free Irish State in 1922. Through the interlocking stories of a wonderfully imagined cast of characters -- monks and noblemen, soldiers and rebels, craftswomen and writers -- Rutherfurd vividly conveys the personal passions and shared dreams that shaped the character of the country. He takes readers inside all the major events in Irish history: the reign of the fierce and mighty kings of Tara; the mission of Saint Patrick; the Viking invasion and the founding of Dublin; the trickery of Henry II, which gave England its foothold on the island in 1167; the plantations of the Tudors and the savagery of Cromwell; the flight of the "Wild Geese"; the failed rebellion of 1798; the Great Famine and the Easter Rebellion. With Rutherfurd's well-crafted storytelling, readers witness the rise of the Fenians in the late nineteenth century, the splendours of the Irish cultural renaissance, and the bloody battles for Irish independence, as though experiencing their momentous impact firsthand.Tens of millions of North Americans claim Irish descent. Generations of people have been enchanted by Irish literature, and visitors flock to Dublin and its environs year after year. The Princes of Ireland will appeal to all of them -- and to anyone who relishes epic entertainment spun by a master.From the Hardcover edition.
The Rebels of Irelandby Edward Rutherfurd
The reigning master of grand historical fiction returns with the stirring conclusion to his bestselling Dublin Saga. The Princes of Ireland, the first volume of Edward Rutherfurd's magisterial epic of Irish history, ended with the disastrous Irish revolt of 1534 and the disappearance of the sacred Staff of Saint Patrick. The Rebels of Irelandopens with an Ireland transformed; plantation, the final step in the centuries-long English conquest of Ireland, is the order of the day, and the subjugation of the native Irish Catholic population has begun in earnest. Edward Rutherfurd brings history to life through the tales of families whose fates rise and fall in each generation: Brothers who must choose between fidelity to their ancient faith or the security of their families; a wife whose passion for a charismatic Irish chieftain threatens her comfortable marriage to a prosperous merchant; a young scholar whose secret rebel sympathies are put to the test; men who risk their lives and their children's fortunes in the tragic pursuit of freedom, and those determined to root them out forever. Rutherfurd spins the saga of Ireland's 400-year path to independence in all its drama, tragedy, and glory through the stories of people from all strata of society--Protestant and Catholic, rich and poor, conniving and heroic. His richly detailed narrative brings to life watershed moments and events, from the time of plantation settlements to the "Flight of the Earls," when the native aristocracy fled the island, to Cromwell's suppression of the population and the imposition of the harsh anti-Catholic penal laws. He describes the hardships of ordinary people and the romantic, doomed attempt to overthrow the Protestant oppressors, which ended in defeat at the Battle of the Boyne in 1690, and the departure of the "Wild Geese. " In vivid tones Rutherfurd re-creates Grattan's Parliament, Wolfe Tone's attempted French invasion of 1798, the tragic rising of Robert Emmet, the Catholic campaign of Daniel O'Connell, the catastrophic famine, the mass migration to America, and the glorious Irish Renaissance of Yeats and Joyce. And through the eyes of his characters, he captures the rise of Charles Stewart Parnell and the great Irish nationalists and the birth of an Ireland free of all ties to England. A tale of fierce battles, hot-blooded romances, and family and political intrigues,The Rebels of Irelandbrings the story begun inThe Princes of Irelandto a stunning conclusion.

Double Counting of Tasks in Project Panel
On Android (4.3 phone and 4.2.2 tablet both running latest Todoist) the number of tasks for some projects is incorrect in the projects panel and it appears to be double counting. This only occurs when the project is fully collapsed i.e. when you should be seeing the total number of tasks in the whole project. You need to have at least two levels of sub projects for this to occur.
For example if you set up the following structure you can see that there are 6 tasks in total.
Project Count with 1 task
.Project A with no tasks
..Project AA with 1 task
..Project AB with 2 tasks
.Project B with 2 tasks
On the web interface the count is correct, no matter how you collapse or expand the project. On both my Android devices the counts are correct when the project is fully expanded. However if you fully collapse the project so you only see one line then the count is 9. It's as if the number of tasks within Project A, which has no tasks, is being counted as well as the actual tasks in Projects AA and AB. If I add a task to Project A then when collapsed the total number of tasks displayed is 10 instead of 7.
Hope you can recreate and fix this as the double counting gave me a bit of a shock the other day!
All responses
Hello Ian,
Thank you for your report, this issue will be addressed in the next update of our Android app.
Best regards,

Court documents detail events in officer biting incident
Officer's fingertip found on ground after struggle
Court documents detail the events leading up to a man biting the fingertip off of a Honolulu police officer during an arrest in Makiki on Wednesday.
Officers responded to 1114 Wilder Avenue for a report of an intoxicated man trespassing on private property just after 5:30 a.m.
The man was identified as 52-year-old Joseph Tristan with a Texas driver's license. He was located at the apartment's trash room and trying to enter the building.
Police found that Tristan was not a resident at the building and did not have permission to be on the property.
One of the officers ordered Tristan to leave the property, according to court documents.
Tristan said, "I'm going to sue you! You guy aren't officers. I'm a police officer. I'll have your jobs!"
When one of the officers proceeded to escort Tristan off of the property, Tristan became combative and argumentative. When the officer placed Tristan under arrest, a struggle ensued.
Court documents say that Tristan bit off the fingertip from the officer's middle finger on his left hand. The fingertip was later located on the ground.
Tristan was arrested for first-degree assault and first-degree criminal trespass.
The officer was taken to Queen's Medical Center for treatment. The doctor said the officer sustained serious bodily injury causing permanent disfigurement. The doctor also said the injury will cause protracted loss and/or impairment of the function of his left hand, according to court documents.

FABIUS, TEXAS. Fabius was a farming community eight miles northeast of Sulphur Springs and four miles southeast of Birthright in north central Hopkins County. A Fabius post office was established in 1902 with John Newberry as postmaster. At its height just after the turn of the century Fabius had a store and a gin. In 1903 its post office was closed and the mail rerouted through Birthright. By the early 1930s Fabius no longer appeared on highway maps.

Today, a lot of businesses share a common goal when buying electricity: Attain budget certainty while gaining the ability to take advantage of market opportunities.
Locking in a fixed price guards against market volatility and provides budget certainty, but that same contracted price may result in paying a higher rate if market prices fall. While blended solutions provide certainty and flexibility, they require time and resources for manual management.
With the Minimize Volatile Pricing (MVPe) Program from Constellation, businesses have an automated alternative for energy management. MVPe systematically removes market and timing risk through a mathematical algorithm that buys more energy when prices are historically lower and less at historic highs.
With MVPe, business customers can:
Constellation provides historical price information to help MVPe customers decide when to purchase electricity and how much to buy. MVPe customers are also provided with detailed assessments of electricity buying options and associated costs and continuous energy policy and market updates.

The Monetary Policy Committee of the Central Bank of Nigeria on Monday warned that in spite of the strong recovery of the country's capital market, it remained "structurally vulnerable to external shocks."
The CBN Governor, Mr. Lamido Sanusi, while addressing journalists shortly after the committee's meeting held in Abuja, said the vulnerability of the stock market would continue until its mode of funding changed.
The NSE All-Share Index of the capital market had recorded an increase of 34.45 per cent from 20,730.63 basis points to 28,078.80 between December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2012.
Similarly, the market capitalisation of the listed equities also rose by 37.38 per cent from N6.53tn to N8.97tn during the same period.
But Sanusi said the positive performance, which was attributed to increase in demand for blue-chip stocks, particularly in the banking and consumer goods sectors, following improvements in earnings and growing investor confidence had exposed the market to external vulnerability.
He said, "The positive performance of the ASI and MC was due to sustained increase in the demand for blue-chip stocks, particularly in the banking and consumer goods sectors, following improvements in earnings and growing investor-confidence.
"The committee, however, noted that the significant factor responsible for the recovery was strong portfolio inflows and cautioned that the capital market remains structurally vulnerable to external shocks until its funding basis is changed."
With regards to the 2013 budget of the Federal Government, the committee cautioned against complacency in revenue generation, despite the high level of oil prices.
Sanusi said, "The committee noted uncertainty in global demand and supply of crude oil, weak performance of non-oil and Value Added Tax revenues.
"On expenditure, the committee noted that there was still the need to continue to drive down recurrent expenditure in favour of capital in view of infrastructure deficit that continued to constrain growth performance."
However, the governor said, given the stability achieved in the last 22 months, the committee decided with a majority vote of eight to two to maintain the current policy stance.
This, he said, would be to retain the Monetary Policy Rate at 12 per cent with a corridor of +\- 200 basis points around the midpoint; retain the Cash Reserve Ratio at 12 per cent; and retain the Liquidity Ratio at 30 per cent.
In reaching this decision, Sanusi said the committee was faced with three choices.
They are an increase in the MPR in response to the higher oil price benchmark for the 2013 fiscal year; a reduction in MPR in view of the declining Gross Domestic Product trajectory and headline inflation; and retaining the current monetary stance in view of the conflicting price signals, global uncertainties and need to preserve the stability of the system.
He said, "The committee considered the calls for a reduction in the MPR because of the benign inflation outlook other things being equal. However, this may be undermined by the increased sub-national government spending and the Federal Government's high expenditure in 2013, the higher benchmark oil price in the 2013 budget and the United States debt ceiling with possible impact on commodity prices.
"In view of the foregoing, the committee decided that it was prudent to hold and monitor developments between now and the next meeting of the MPC. The committee, therefore, decided by a majority vote of eight to two to maintain the current policy stance."
Sanusi put the country's reserves at $43.849bn as at December 31, 2012, representing an increase of $1.682bn or 3.98 per cent from $42.167bn at end of October 2012.
Relative to the end of December 2011 level of $32.915bn, he said the external reserves as at the end of December 2012 had risen by $10.934bn or 33.21 per cent.
The governor said the increase in the level of foreign reserves was driven by proceeds from crude oil and gas exports and crude oil related taxes, as well as reduced funding of the Wholesale Dutch Auction System.
This, he said, was on account of the huge inflow of foreign portfolio investments, which was about 77 per cent of total inflows through the CBN.
The foreign reserves level, he said, could finance about nine months of imports.

- How to Read a Study Record
Sevoflurane inhalational anesthetic has got pulmonary effects such as bronchodilatation. These effects could be of interest in intensive care patients ventilated in pressure support ventilation mode. The purpose of this study is to evaluate mechanical respiratory effects of sevoflurane administered through a new specific heat and moister exchanger called the Anesthetic Conserving Device (AnaConDa®) in pressure support ventilation in intensive care patients. In fact, dead space and resistance generated by the device could cancel and even deteriorate the potential positive effects of sevoflurane on ventilation.

Device: Anesthetic Conserving Device
- Ventilation in PSV with the Anesthetic Conserving Device with remifentanil
- Ventilation in PSV with the Anesthetic Conserving Device with sevoflurane
Pharmacological sedation is often necessary in mechanical ventilated intubated patient. Since a little time, sevoflurane can be used in the intensive care unit via a specific heat and moister exchanger called the Anesthetic Conserving Device (AnaConDa®, SedanaMedical AB, Uppsala, Sweden) placed between the Y piece of the ventilatory circuit and the endotracheal tube. Sevoflurane is known to have ventilatory interesting effects such as bronchodilatation that can be useful in the treatment of severe asthma. These effects could be of interest in the intensive care ventilated patients. On the other hand, the AnaConDa® device could have negative influence on ventilatory mechanics caused by the increased dead space and the resistance to air flow. This negative effect with worsening of work of breathing (WOB) was demonstrated with classic heat and moister exchanger compared to heated humidifiers in pressure support ventilation (PSV). In this way, we would like to study the mechanical effects of the sevoflurane administered with the AnaConDa® compared to a classic management with a heated humidifier and sedation with intravenous remifentanil in PSV consecutive intensive care patients.

Name: Ovinton J'Anthony (O.J.) Mayo
Ht: 6-5
Wt: 215
Position: PG, SG
Year: Class of 2007
AAU Team: DI Greyhounds
High School: Huntington HS (Huntington, WV)
College: University of Southern California (Los Angeles, CA)
Date of Birth: 11/05/1987
The Early Years
OJ Mayo was born in Huntington, West Virginia on November 5, 1987. "O.J.", which is short for Ovinton J'Anthony, was dunking in warmups on eight and a half foot rims at the age of 8 years old. At 11 years old, he signed his first autograph. At age 14, Mayo commuted and attended Rose Hill Christian School, a private school in Ashland, Kentucky. In Kentucky, a high school athlete could play varsity sports in the 7th grade. Mayo went on to average 23 points per game his first year on the varsity team playing against older, bigger, and more experienced competition. He received his first college recruitment letter during the 7th grade from Marshall University and began getting national exposure when he appeared in USA Today, Sports Illustrated, and on ESPN and CNN. He averaged 20.5 as an eighth-grader and led his team to the Kentucky state tournament last season. Mayo also led his AAU team to two straight national titles.
High School
In 2003, Mayo would transfer to North College Hill (NCH) High School for the 9th grade and move in with his grandfather who lived across the street from the high school. This allowed OJ to regularly arrive at the gym by 6 a.m. to shoot 500 jumpers and work on his game, going through various basketball drills. After school, he would go to the team practice where he played with teammate and good friend, Bill Walker, who also transferred from Rose Hill. After practice, Mayo, Walker, and their teammates would often stay until 10 or 11 at night to work on their games or workout. Soon, people were calling OJ Mayo the next LeBron James. Because of LeBron, high school players were being hyped earlier than ever and Mayo had already been written about in major sports magazines such as ESPN, Sporting News, Sports Illustrated, and Slam. Mayo was being called "The Next One" in homage to LeBron James being "The Chosen One."
In his first year (9th grade) as a true freshmen, at North College Hill, Mayo went on to average 31 points, 9 rebounds, 7 assists, and 5 steals a game and was selected as First Team All State, even though he was just a freshman. ESPN Outside the Lines had a feature on Mayo and his new found celebrity. O.J. Mayo ended the regular season with another triple-double, helping North College Hill, Ohio's No. 1-ranked Division III team, finish the regular season 20-0. North College went on to lose in the state tournament to Reading, although Mayo was named Ohio Division III Player of the Year by the Associated Press.
As a sophomore, Mayo averaged 28 points, 8 rebounds, and 8 assists a game including scoring a school single-game record 56 points while adding nine rebounds and eight assists. Mayo and top-ranked North College Hill won their first Ohio Division III state basketball title. In addition to being named Associated Press Division III Player of the Year for the second consecutive season, OJ was also named Mr. Basketball of Ohio, becoming only the second sophomore to be given that honor (LeBron was the first).
In June, 2005, the NBA announced a change in the collective bargaining agreement that the age limit for entering the draft would increase from 18 to 19 (plus one year removed from high school). In his junior year, Mayo averaged 29 points, 9 rebounds, 6 assists, and 5 steals a game and was named 'Mr. Basketball' for the state of Ohio for the second year in a row. Mayo shared AP Division III player-of-the-year honors with three others, including teammate Bill Walker. North College Hill also won its second consecutive Division III boys' state basketball championship as Mayo scored 26 points and dished out eight assists in the championship game and was named the tournament MVP.
In the summer, Mayo transferred back home and enrolled at Huntington High School for the 2006-07 school year.
In November, instead of waiting for the late signing period in April, Mayo announced and signed a letter of intent to play at the University of Southern California, telling friends he wanted to turn USC into a national power, much like Patrick Ewing transformed Georgetown in the early 1980s. "Los Angeles is a great basketball city and needs a (college) powerhouse. It's the perfect situation," Mayo said. "After (football) players like Reggie Bush and Matt Leinart, the school is ready for a player of my caliber."
O.J. Mayo averaged 28.2 points, 7.2 assists, and 6.1 rebounds a game, while leading the Huntington Highlanders (25-2) to an unprecedented third consecutive Class AAA state championship and won many awards including the National High School Boys Basketball Player of the Year by EA Sports.
O.J. Mayo made his debut with the Trojans scoring 32 points in a loss.
