|Sometimes, when the world seems dark and scary, all that's left to do is make some beauty.
Third Time's the CharmI'm here to tell a story,Third Time's the Charm by honest-hArt
Of the day I fell in love.
I'm here to tell a tale,
Of a midnight on a cloud.
I fell, fell, so hard for you.
The clouds couldn't catch me,
And so I knew
And I think you did too,
That I was falling to my demise.
But then I saw you rise, rise, rise.
You held me in you arms mid-fall
And drew me a paiting with your eyes.
You said all you needed to say,
Without ever muttering a single word.
And so, we flew in a speechless tango,
But we still wanted more, more, more.
I knew that I was holding on,
So you couldn't leave so soon.
The only time I let you drift away,
Was when we parted on the moon.
I was once again picked up by you
Heading to a place I know so well.
But home wasn't where I wished to go,
Because without you, it was hell.
Somewhere in the journey,
I drifted off to sleep.
And awoke this early morning,
In my bed, feeling drained and weak.
Oh angel, angel, angel,
Tell me, was it all a dream?
Because if so, I'll go to sleep,
And forget reality.
So angel, angel
Rainy DownpourYou break my heart into piecesRainy Downpour by honest-hArt
Because, do you even know what this is?
This is you, hurting again,
And I wish I could take away the pain.
I wish that you would let me in,
I'm not your enemy, I hope you see.
So just go dancing with me,
in the rainy downpour
And I'll hold on to your heart,
I know you and I know me
and how perfect we could be
But you will never say the words
and mine will be a whisper, and no more.
Because we always dance around the words
Tangos of lies, that follow me out the door.
So just go dancing with me,
in the rainy downpour.
And I'll hear the words you won't say
As the stormy waves hit the shore.
But here we are again,
Just two souls, slain.
By the power of what will never be.
By the power of what we can't ever see.
Because, after all, love is just a dream
And it surely can't mean anything...
So just go dancing with me,
in the rainy downpour.
And even if it's only in your dreams,
I'll make you soar.
I'll make you soar.
Waiting, waiting, waitingOkay,Waiting, waiting, waiting by honest-hArt
Here's the blatant truth, and
I think you need to know
She's walked away from everything
and it's time that you let her go.
She may have been the "one" for you
but there are millions like her, so
She's gone, she's left,
She's far away.
And it's time that you let go.
Now if only I could fix it all,
I would do it without a single doubt.
Because I'd much rather see you smile
And I can always wait a longer while...
Because I will always be there,
Waiting for a thousand years,
Until you've finally let go.
And you turn to me, and finally know
That I'm the one you're looking for.
A careless fantasy, no more.

WonderlandIt doesn't take a dictionaryWonderland by moonangel135
To find out what you're feeling
And it doesn't take the future
To realize the conclusion
Your pathway has been walken
And you expect the best of some
Your ending has no happy note
But somehow, you walk on
Ravens caw, your rainbow shines
your molten lava diamond encrusts
Happy tunes, sadistic lyrics
Your dead end wonderland
A PAINFUL MEMORY -true story-I sat on the couch holding my knees.A PAINFUL MEMORY -true story- by clouded-dreamer
"Please God make him stop...please!"
Between my sobs I squeezed,
My pillow into my chest.
The anger in his voice was so clear,
I used my hands to cover my ears.
And I just didn't want to hear,
Any more of his words.
My brother sat with utter fear in his eyes,
I could no longer ignore my mothers cries.
So slowly I listened as time went by,
I wanted it to end.
I heard her scream as he let his belt fall,
Across her back, still crying, I heard it all.
I built up the courage and made the call,
"We'll send a unit over."
Fifteen minutes passed, an eternity.
Fifteen years old, scared as I could be.
Never forget the look he gave me,
Escorted out in handcuffs.
My 'father' was taken in the dark of night,
What he did to my mother just wasn't right.
Never had we been in so much fright,
Fearing for our lives.
The next day came and the next day went,
The whole day packing and moving we spent.
Mum could barely afford the rent,
With just us three.
Kept out of school
Living in a world of imagination, where reality is only a dream away.

BP Review in Rock Paper Shotgun
Here is a link to the classic review by Rock,Paper, Shotgun of the original bug-infested unpatched version of Boiling Point: Road to Hell.
Titled "Fixed: The Size of the Moon." lol. Lot of bugs were fixed by the European Retail patch, including the size of the moon, floating leopards, being able to demolish the police station with the crossbow, trading bugs, and awful vehicle controls. The bugs in the unpatched version were so fun, I even played BP unpatched once lol.
Another review, very well written, is here:
I haven't played it for years, but looking at those pics brought back some very happy memories. It's a game I'll always go back to for a unique experience.
VET is Vals Evil Twin. I wonder if you remember me from the old (original) website for deep shadows? The one with ShadowMoses as the admin. You used a quote from one of my posts…ended with "ding dang ding!" in something else you did.
You're in Australia right?

I'm constantly feeling immence pressure in my pelvis, like someone kicked me. Is this normal?
I feel like my pelvis bone is bruised or something. It hurts to walk, raise my legs to put clothes on or even sit down. I'm 35 weeks pregnant and this is my first baby. The pain gets worse the further along I get. My baby already weighs over 6lbs. I don't know if that has anything to do with it or not, but I just want to know if I should be worried.

I'm just over 37 weeks and feel the exact same way! It is getting very difficult for me to even get up out of bed. The doc told us that our baby is probably going to be in the 9 lb. range at full term, so I was wondering if size had something to do with it too. I'm not really worried, I just think I've "dropped" and this is what I'm going to feel like until I deliver. Not that it makes you feel a lot better, but at least you aren't alone!posted 12/10/2007 by melissaeater

A letter from Nancy Dimmock in Lesotho
March 8, 2011
Dear Friends,
Today, the centenary anniversary of International Women's Day, I find myself reflecting on the first two months of this year. The British Broadcasting Company (BBC) is doing a special on Extreme Worlds entitled "The Best and Worst Places in the World to be a Woman." Among the list of worst places is the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), where soldiers — and men in general — rape with impunity. I (Frank) am just back from a trip which included the DRC, where I participated in a workshop on trauma healing, facilitated by Ugandans who shared their first-hand experiences. I must admit, that after hearing all of the tragic and desperate stories of women and children, I was traumatized myself.
My first morning in Kinshasa, I met an 11-year-old orphaned girl who lives with her widowed grandmother. In January she was sent to buy bread one afternoon and didn't return home. She had been dragged into an abandoned building and brutally raped. She was found later in the evening by her teenage brother. Though she has been physically repaired, her spirit remains battered, and she is now ashamed to face her friends and return to school.
I listened to story after similar story, and my heart was literally torn open. Oh, God. Look down on your world with mercy — and teach us how to be merciful.
Signs of hope
In Mbujimayi, central DRC, the Presbyterian Church operates a "safe house" for young girls who are on-the-street, often escaping abusive situations. This program, Foyer wa Dibindi, provides temporary safety while family reunification is researched. The girls are clothed, fed and attend a local school.
From Congo, I flew to western Ethiopia, where the Gambella Synods of the Ethiopian Evangelical Church Mekane Yesus (EECMY) are providing early childhood education and development to preschool children from vulnerable families. The goal of the program is to reach children early (and through them, their families) with basic education and health interventions – providing a "head-start".
And finally I traveled to Ghana for the biennial conference of Christian Health Associations in Africa. The theme of the conference, bringing together 20 countries, was on improving women's and children's health in Africa. I have been working with a Presbyterian partner, IMA-World Health, to re-establish the Christian Health Association of Liberia (CHALi), following many years of civil war. In that country one in 20 women will die during pregnancy or childbirth. CHALi has been instrumental in the training and support of birth attendants and will assist in new safe-motherhood initiatives to improve access to essential services.
Next month in Malawi I will visit with Presbyterian partners who are involved with a program to stop the practice of offering girls for marriage at a very early age. Churches there have pioneered community-based programs for support of vulnerable children and families.
For some more encouraging news, look at the BBC story about Lesotho and the gender gap.
Back home in Lesotho, Nancy is continuing to support and encourage the work of Ministry of Hope Lesotho. Besides helping with background research, medical exams and adoption paperwork on many abandoned and orphaned children, MoHL is caring for a vulnerable 8-month-old baby girl and will take on a 2½-year-old, malnourished child next week. Both are in need of nutritional rehabilitation and extra stimulation and care.
Home assignment
While we remain completely engaged here in Africa, we must, at the same time, turn our thoughts partially toward the United States — as we are headed on home assignment in July. We wanted you to be aware of our timing and of our availability to come and speak at your church, if you are interested. We will, once again, be living at Mission Haven in Decatur, Georgia, and will be available to speak from September 2011 through May 2012. Several weekends in October and November are already booked and one in January; otherwise, the dates are open. We will be doing our own bookings, so let us know of your interest via email at firstname.lastname@example.com. Thank you.
Another issue in relation to our time in the United States is our need for a vehicle or two! We need both a regular sedan and a van (that seats at least seven).

Why does my 6 week old grunt all day?
My 6 week old grunts all day long like he hurts. I have read some of the other questions people have asked. Like the parents my 6 week old does some like your babies like he grunts a lot like all day long and he cries all the time the only time he seems like he is happy is when i am holding him. I have also noticed like the others i noticed it around 2 or 3 weeks old. The only different I see is that he will sleep for about 3 to 4 hours. At night time he will go to bed about 9pm and wont wake up untill around 3 or 4am and then goes right back to sleep untill 8am. But the dr. said he had acid reflex because he also spits up a lot. But i really dont think that is what it is because when i give him the med. for it it makes it worse. Does anyone have any idea what it might be? Or what i should do?

Have you considered a food sensitivity? If you are breastfeeding this could be an allergy to something you eat (dairy or gluten are common culprits) or if you formula feed it could easily be a diary, soy, etc allergy from the formula ingredients. Is baby prone to diaper rash? That could be another indicator that its an allergy. Otherwise, these type of problems are very common at that age and will probably hit a peak in the next few weeks and then decline.posted 11/21/2012 by andarte

By guest writer Julia Wilkinson-Minks (2008 & 2012 Canadian Olympian)
Tomorrow is the eve of the Phillips 66 National Championships and World Championship Trials in Indianapolis. There is no time left for preparation, other than the tiny details: shaving down, maybe doing a few pace 50's at the pool, and trying to relax in the face of new-found energy. Some swimmers may also be trying to forget the ghosts of U.S. trials past, and looking forward to a successful summer of redemption.
Yesterday we reviewed the women, especially those who came out swinging after disappointing seasons last year and are looking to earn a spot on this year's team headed to Barcelona. Today, I will review the men's events.
The men's 50-meter freestyle has to be one of the most exciting and anticipated races of the meet, for two reasons. First, the splash-and-dash is just exciting in its own right: a race a spectator cannot afford to blink during, because it really is any swimmer's race and it is over so fast. Secondly, there is a lot of star power amongst the men seeded in the top three: Olympic silver medalist Cullen Jones is seeded in first, followed by 32-year old Anthony Ervin, who is still improving after coming out of retirement for London. Olympic gold medalist in the 100-meter freestyle, Nathan Adrian, is seeded third: there is a lot of talent and experience on that projected podium.
But let's not forget about some of the other athletes a bit further down in the psych sheets: Josh Schneider defeated highly favored Adrian in the 50-yard freestyle at the 2010 NCAA Championships. Granted, the 50 long course is basically an entirely different event, but Schneider has this as a confidence boost tucked in his back pocket. Texas Longhorn alums Jimmy Feigen and Garrett Weber-Gale are both Olympians and highly decorated NCAA swimmers. Weber-Gale swam in Beijing, but missed the Olympic team last year, and would no doubt like to regain control of the sprint freestyle events.
The men's 100-meter freestyle also features Nathan Adrian, who already posted a blazing time earlier in the season at the Santa Clara Grand Prix. As reigning Olympic Champion, I can't see anyone knocking him off the top spot on the podium. The 200-meter freestyle is saturated with veterans, and no one under the age of 20 managed to crack into the top 10. But, the top six slots are far from being predetermined, and all it takes is earning a spot in the final for an up-and-comer to break onto this prestigious relay team.
In the men's 400-meter freestyle, the top two seeds belong to Olympians Conor Dwyer and Connor Jaeger. Michael Klueh, who is seeded third, was third at US Olympic Trials last year in this event, fifth in 2008. Klueh has won numerous medals at short course World Championships and World University Games, but has never had the chance to compete at the summer World Championships. No doubt this 26-year old has continued to swim with one goal in mind: Barcelona.
Finally, the men's 1500-meter freestyle features a man who narrowly missed out on a chance to represent the USA in London last summer: Chad La Tourette. La Tourette was a silver medalist in both the 800 and 1500-meter freestyles at the 2010 Pan Pacific Championships and fifth in the 1500-meter freestyle at World Championships in Shanghai in 2011. In Indianapolis this weekend, he is seeded behind the two men who got in the way of his Olympic berth last summer: Andrew Gemmell and Connor Jaeger. When Jaeger swam the 1500-meter freestyle and made the Olympic team last summer, it was only the 5th time he had ever raced the grueling event; that being said, he is probably only getting better.
Flipping over onto our backs, we might see two different types of redemption over the distances. In the 100-meter backstroke, the top seed is Olympic gold medalist Matt Grevers, followed by David Plummer. Last summer, Plummer came almost as close to making the Olympic team as you can, when he finished third by only twelve hundredths behind second place Nick Thoman. Thoman went on to win the silver medal behind Grevers at the London Olympics, and Plummer must have wondered what could have been had he gotten the chance to race at the Olympics. He returned to the pool to train, and now has another shot at standing on the podium not just in Indianapolis, but in Barcelona as well.
In the 200-meter backstroke, there are two obvious favorites to make the team: Ryan Lochte and Tyler Clary. Although second place still gets to represent the USA this summer, I have no doubt that both men want to be first to the wall in this race. Clary shocked everyone last summer and won the gold medal in what many consider to be Lochte's go-to event, and both are fighting to be the "face" of the men's 200-backstroke. And I'm sure Lochte would prefer that face to include a grill.
Neither Brendan Hansen or Eric Shanteau, who swam the 100-meter breaststroke at the Olympic Games last year, will be swimming in Indianapolis this week. This opens the door for Mark Gangloff, who was a member of both the Athens and Beijing teams but was fifth last summer at Trials. Another potential candidate for the US team is Mike Alexandrov, a duel citizen who represented Bulgaria at the 2004 and 2008 Olympic Games. He swam at US Trials last summer but was sixth behind Gangloff. In the 200-meter breaststroke, both Scott Weltz and Clark Burkle, 2012 Olympians, did return for another season.
Although you may have felt an inkling that something was missing in the freestyle events, it hits you in the head full force when you look at butterfly: the absence of Michael Phelps completely changes the game. How long has it been since someone at a US Trials has actually raced for first place in a butterfly event? It was just accepted that there was one available spot in butterfly: behind Phelps. This year there are two spots for American butterflyers. Olympian Tyler McGill is the top seed in the 100-meter, followed by the ever-versatile Ryan Lochte. This could be a great opportunity for Tom Shields, who was fourth last summer at Trials, to become more than a decorated NCAA swimmer, but a successful international swimmer as well.
In the 200-meter butterfly, Tyler Clary is the top seed and probably the pick to win. Bobby Bollier, another third-place Olympic trials finisher, is seeded second and has a great chance to pick up that new "second" spot.
The IMs are another place where Michael Phelps' absence leaves an obvious void, however, Ryan Lochte holds similar clout to Phelps in these events. Where there once seemed to be no spots available unless your name was Ryan Lochte or Michael Phelps, now there may be one, behind Ryan Lochte. Although he was criticized for being behind in training because of his infamous reality show, Lochte proved that he is still a force to be reckoned with when he broke Phelps' meet record in Santa Clara.
Although the 400-meter IM is probably sealed by Lochte and Tyler Clary, the 200-meter IM is a little more open. Lochte is the obvious favorite, but behind him the seeds are close enough that maybe a young rookie could step up and fill some big medley shoes, maybe someone like 19-year old NCAA Champion Chase Kalisz? He is from North Baltimore Aquatic Club after all, and I vaguely remember a pretty good swimmer who came from there.
Some of the men may be getting older, but they are not slowing down. With a few retirements, including one that really can be called "the end of an era", the opportunity for new blood to earn a place on the US National team is ripe, but the ones who lost their crowns last summer will not fall easily in Indy.
Julia Wilkinson-Minks is a two-time Olympian for Canada and was a finalist in the 200-meter IM at the 2008 Beijing Games. In 2010, she became Texas A&M's first ever NCAA champion in swimming when she won the 100-yard freestyle. She graduated from Texas A&M with a degree in Speech Communication. Julia retired from competitive swimming following the London Olympic Games and now lives in Texas with her husband Shane.

G2 - where to repair in UK? help pls!
Oct 18, 2004
Hi all,
A work colleague has a problem with her Canon G2, and I though you guys might be able to help? It has a problem in that it reports the lens cap is still on when it isn't....so probably something electrical. Maybe even this was a problem with a firmware fix? (I wouldn't have noticed, I usually hang out in the Nikon forums).
Someone quoted her £240 for Canon to look at it! So does anyone have experience with other people looking at Canon cameras? Tales of woe or of joy appreciated, recomendations etc...
Thanks in advance,

Lincoln beats Bear River to record 11th straight victoryBy: Joshua Gutierrez / Special to the Journal
LINCOLN — On opening night of Pioneer Valley League competition, the Bear River varsity basketball team was unable to halt the streaking Lincoln Fighting Zebras, suffering a 51-44 road loss.
The loss snaps a three-game winning streak for the Bruins and propels the up-and-coming Zebras to an 11-game win streak.
As the night got under way, Bear River seemed to control the tempo of the game, shooting 8-for-13 from the floor. The 6-foot-8 Nick Bachus made the most of his height advantage, collecting six points on a 3 of 3 performance.
Michael Raigoza controlled the offense, collecting three assists and scoring three points to open the night.
But as the second period began, Lincoln adjusted its defensive pressure en route to a 13-6 run going into the locker room. The Bruins seemed out of sorts, turning the ball over in seven of their first 10 possessions.
With only six attempts in the period, Bear River faced a seven-point deficit as Lincoln's Marcus Salgado iced a 3-pointer at the buzzer.
Coming out of the locker room, Lincoln kept the momentum on their side scoring 17 points in the quarter and limiting the Bruins to six.
Bear River addressed its turnover difficulties, but struggled from beyond the arc, going 0-for-4 in the period. The Bruins would ultimately finish with no shots made from 3-point range (0-for-6).
Lincoln grabbed its biggest lead of the night in the final period after the Zebras' Alexis Gonzales scored on their opening possession.
Bachus started the Bruins' comeback attempt on a field goal, his first points since the opening period.
Tyler Hajewski, Justin Beskeen, and Raigoza each drained a field goal apiece in an 8-0 run that cut the Zebras' lead to nine with less than four minutes to play.
After three-consecutive missed shots by Beskeen, Travis Anderson found the basket on a Hajewski assist.
Two field goals by Raigoza further cut Lincoln's lead to six points with less than 90 seconds on the clock.
But turnovers came back to play a role, as Lincoln assumed control on two critical turnovers, and killed the clock.
"We definitely did not play up to our expectations," said Beskeen, who led the Bruins with 10 points. "We definitely need to step up and play better."
Bear River head coach Duwaine Ganskie spoke in a post-game interview, crediting Lincoln's zone offense and physicality on the defensive end. Though expectations fell short, the coach pressed the issue of perseverance in the PVL.
"You got to bounce back," Ganskie said. "You can't let one loss discourage you in this league."

In addition to my "official" Maker Faire Detroit project, I created a giant VU meter for the after party.
It's powered by a Velleman mono VU meter kit. This is the same kit Eli Skipp used for her VU meter scarf. I replaced the single LED outputs with opto-isolators which provide a 12V signal to the segments.
The segments are made of masonite and frosted acrylic, connected by 1/4-20 threaded rod. I used 12V LED strip lighting, and each segment has 18 LEDs on it. There is also an aluminized mylar shroud around each segment to reflect stray light back in. With the shroud on, it's very bright, even in an artificially lit room.
Special thanks to the following awesome people who helped me with design and construction: Paul K, Sean D, Joe B, Becky T, Mike B, Roger S, Nate B, Ted H, Nick B. And of course, it was made at i3 Detroit!
This is just a preview, I'll be doing a full writeup soon!

The familiar; "Ding! Orders up." Caroline walks over to Oleg's pickup window behind the dining counter. "Tables: ten, twelve, tables: Sixty Niinnne!" This had confused Caroline. "Oleg, there is no table sixty nine." "There could be" he smiled as he replied . Disgusted by his rude comments, Caroline walked her plates through the dining room with Max towards their tables. Oleg's comment had made Caroline forget who got which plate. Max told her a clever way to remember. Just give them funny nicknames. Such as "Thin Cee Lo, Fat Riahanna, Jean Baret Ramsey and Kristen Bad-Wigg" Caroline laughed and with her own nicknames was able to remember her customers. "Seth Ro-Gane, Child Molester Mustach and Lesbian Justin Bieber." "Ding! Order up…Table 6" Oleg begins to walk away when he quickly turns back and yells "tee-nine!"
Max walks up to a couple making out in one of her booths and asks "Ok, can I get you anything else? Coffee? Dessert? Morning After pill? Ooook." Max continues walking and begins talking to Earl. He comments on the couple. "Getting it on in a restaurant. I once made love to a young Angela Lansbury in a booth just like that…Murder she wrote? More like harder she begged." "Earl why can't everybody be you?" Just as Max had replied Johnny walks in the front door and starts to follow Max to her counter. He wants his "Usual" plus 2 of Max's "day olds" discounted cupcakes. Han from across the diner calls to him and runs over to give him a high five. Han leaps as high as he can and slaps Johnny's hand. Han continues to walk towards Max's counter. To tell her that her "boyfriend" was there. She tells Han that he isn't her boyfriend. He was just another "guy who likes my cupcakes…Cause who doesn't?" He then accuses Max of being in love with Johnny. She denies it. Then she gives Johnny his cupcakes "on the house" as she continues to deny their obvious attraction.
At their apartment Caroline needs to find a job online until the cupcake business takes off. She begins to look through Craigslist ads. Suddenly there is a knock at the girl's back door. It's Johnny; Smiling and waving. "Oh thank god." Caroline says. "I thought it was a rapist." Max just looks at her. She then replies "If it were a rapist; they wouldn't knock and stand there waving, and we wouldn't call them rapist's. We'd call them, JOHNNY!" As she opens the door for him. He says hello and asks to use their bathroom. He passes Caroline and looks to see what she Is looking up. She tells him she is looking up jobs that don't force her to get "Handcuffed to a radiator." He replies; "On craiglist?" Laughs and goes to the bathroom. Caroline tells Max to pull her hair back it's in was in her face. Max tells Caroline to "back up." She was "kinda in her face." Johnny comes out of the bathroom and asks Max to help him the next night. Max agrees. After he leaves Caroline makes fun of Max telling her that Johnny likes her…"likes her with his p***s"
Walking down the hallway in an unfamiliar building the girls stop. Max turns to Caroline and tells her that she is glad to see she made it and was safe. She then turned to leave. Caroline stops Max and tells her not to leave yet, she had been the one who made her nervous. Max had told Caroline that an unknown person from craigslist could cut off her face. Max laughed and calmed Caroline down. They agreed that the building was not so bad and they even had fancy trash chutes. Max joked that they were perfect for getting rid of flesh and Caroline told her she wouldn't be able to call. Especially if she didn't have a face. Max leaves and Caroline knocks on the door. It creeks open and she yells her own name into the apartment. There is no immediate answer amongst the stacks of newspapers and piles of unused items everywhere. "Oh hell no…Hell NO! Max come back here! Maaaaaxxxx!!" Caroline screamed as she ran back through the door and out.
Both Max and Caroline come running around the hallway corner again. Max smiling yelling back at Caroline telling how her how excited she is. Caroline feels bad. "Its like bad reality TV" Max comes right back at Caroline telling her it's GREAT Tv. They walk in and Max is ecstatic. "WOW." They should charge admission for this place." She then calls it Hoarders 3D: the experience, in Imax "MyMax!" she exclaims as she goes to take a step and falls. Caroline helps her up. "What is that pile over there?" Maxs thinks it's either "An old shag carpet, or a mass grave of dead muppets." Caroline wants to get out of there. Max asks "We still have our faces, why would we leave?" Max also notices the "Heavy clown presence in the room." She wants "both more and less of the clowns" All of the sudden a voice calls to them. "Hey, I'm over here." Caroline can't find him, he is behind piles of old news papers. "I'm over here, near the papers." Caroline looks around and sees many piles of old new papers. "Which papers" she asks. "The papers near the papers" he says. She tells him they have to renegotiate their arranged price. There was a lot more to "Organize" then she had been led to believe. They agree to the price of $100 a day for both her and Max plus they would get to keep a horse head made out of cans. They begin to clean the man's apartment. They begin with smaller items. As Caroline pulls her first piece of trash out of the pile in front of her; it falls on top of her knocking her down and covering her in bags of crap. Max snaps a photo with a polaroid she picked up from beside her. She waves the picture in her hand to dry it and says; "Happy birthday to, me."
Back at the diner they are finishing cleaning up when Max emerges from the bathroom. She looks like she's dressed to go out. Earl compliments her. Oleg tells her "Tonight, when I am dreaming about sex with you; as always, this time I will ask you to stay." Han tells her it's a booty call; "If it's after 2:30 the call is dirty." Out on the billboard Johnny and Max take a "beer break" and admire Manhattan. They talk about how beautiful "she is." As Johnny stares at Max. Max leans in to kiss Johnny but Johnny pulls his mask down and tells her it's time to get back to work. Max puts her head down, awkwardly embarrassed.
Max and Caroline round the Hoarder's apartment's hallway corner again approaching his door. Max is explain to Caroline that she had tried to kiss Johnny but he didn't kiss her. It was a beautiful perfect moment and he must not want to kiss her if he didn't then. In the apartment Caroline is making progress getting rid of the stacks of newspapers when Max finds a box of cats. She sits down with a cat and starts petting it. She begins to wonder why he didn't kiss her. Caroline tells max to kiss him next time. Another voice, a woman's; comes out of nowhere agreeing with Caroline. "Oh my god!" Max proclaims he's "Hoarding another hoarder?" The woman's voices speaks again; "Those are my cats young lady." Max and Caroline are now walking down the street when they see Johnny walking with another woman. Max walks up to him, puts her arms around him and kisses him. The woman asks "what the hell is going on?" She was his girlfriend. Max thinks for a moment and then puts her arms around the woman and kisses her also. She then introduces herself as Max and tells her that was how she greeted everybody. She then turns to the open apartment door and runs inside.
Back at the diner everybody knows about what happened between Max and Johnny and they all offer their support. Max feeling very bad asks Caroline if she was happy? She had gotten Max to admit she liked him and kiss him. Then she had to kiss his beautiful girlfriend "who is black and British the two cool things" she "could never be." All of the sudden Johnny comes into the diner to talk to Max. He wants to apologize to her. She tells him that it's cool. He had never touched her or led her on. She takes her plates over to the couple at her booth that are still making out. She drops the plates and yells at them that their food was there. She also warns the girl to be careful because her friend may have a girlfriend that's "beautiful, black and British!" Johnny pleads with Max telling her he wanted to kiss her but he didn't want to be the guy that did it when he was "with" somebody else. "Max, I didn't know you were gonna come into my life, I didn't know I was going to have these feelings for you, now it's all Max all the time in my head." Max tells Johnny that he should have told her he had a girlfriend. She angrily walks away and Johnny leaves the diner.
Outside of the diner Caroline and Max are walking home. They talk about how they made $240 from cleaning "Douglas'" apartment and how Caroline thought that what Johnny said to Max was beautiful. Max had made some money and all she had to lose was her mind. Caroline looks up at a billboard with a picture of a man and a woman kissing. The man looks like Johnny and the woman resembles Max. All that mattered to them was that it didn't look like Johnny's girlfriend. So Max had a chance. Total money for cupcake business saved up: 623.25.

In a recent interview, Payday 2's director David Goldfarb promised a year's worth of updates for Overkill's bank heist simulator, one of which Goldfarb hopes adds female characters.
"One of the first things I have on my list is to make sure we get a female character," Goldfarb told. "I'm hoping—I don't know if we'll get it as our first DLC, because we'd have to redo all the animations so it doesn't look like a dude walking around with a female body."
Other than that, Goldfarb didn't really say what other DLC might be in the works for Payday 2, though I suspect new maps, weapons or gear are probably in the works. But, considering the game itself came out just two days ago, it's hard to imagine us seeing anything noteworthy in the near future. (Source pcgamer.com)

nicely done rockstarRLFAV | Oct. 29, 2013 | Review of Max Payne 3 Complete Pack - PC
this is easily one of the best (if not the best) third person shooters I have ever played. the action is entertaining and the bullet time is undeniably fun. Rockstar has truly done it with this game. I recommend this game to any third person shooter fans out there. the scenery is beautiful and the game has plenty of cut scenes. overall, Max Payne is a great third person shooter.
beautiful!RLFAV | Oct. 26, 2013 | Review of Rayman Legends - PC
After shunting the recent efforts of Mario into a lurid green U-bend, Rayman Origins proved a tough act to follow. As a sequel Rayman Legends initially disappoints with what seems like a shift away from speedy platforming, but warms up into something wonderful after you've played for a few hours. Originally planned as a Wii U exclusive, Legends is keen to showcase the Gamepad functions right from the very start of the game. Murfy is a green grinning fairy that pops up in specific levels, moving objects and cutting ropes when you appropriately poke the gamepad's touchscreen. The problem is, most people won't own one. On the 360 code provided for review, Murfy's actions have been mapped to one button. Press B, and he'll activate whatever object he's currently beside. Unfortunately, you can't control Murfy's position: the game doesn't do a terrible job of ensuring that the green fairy is always locked on the object you're expecting, but there's an overall lack of precision here that doesn't gel with the razor-sharp platforming. Anyone can activate Murfy in co-op, which immediately proves to be a bit of a nightmare. 'Don't touch the B button!' Thankfully the latter half of Legends uses Murphy in a less frustrating way, and it isn't long before the game offers up hardcore goodies: time trial trophies don't appear this time, but instead we get loads of bastard-hard speed-run missions. As things open up, the best level designs surface. 20,000 Lums Under The Sea blends Bioshock's vision of velvet and brass with a classic James Bond tone. The overall aesthetic in Legends however doesn't match the magic of Origins, but this isn't an overly negative point: it's like trying to compare Disney to Pixar. Stand-out moments ensure it never feels average, and the quantity of stuff to do puts Origins to shame. A whopping chunk of Origins is playable within the game, and your 'Awesomeness' level can be increased indefinitely by competing in weekly and daily challenges. Rayman Legends isn't perfect, but it's still a cracking game.
amazingRLFAV | Oct. 26, 2013 | Review of BioShock Overflow 1 - PC
The hours spent playing this masterpiece were the perfect encapsulation of why videogaming is such a favourite waste of time for so many of us. Thrilling, terrifying, moving, confusing, amusing, compelling, and very very dark. BioShock isn't simply the sign of gaming realising its true cinematic potential, but one where a game straddles so many entertainment art forms so expertly that it's the best demonstration yet how flexible this medium can be. It's no longer just another shooter wrapped up in a pretty game engine, but a story that exists and unfolds inside the most convincing and elaborate and artistic game world ever conceived.
Take the money and run!RLFAV | Oct. 26, 2013 | Review of Payday 2 - PC
payday 2 is one of the best co-op you will ever play. it's fun alone and even more with friends. you have guns,pistols,shutguns,masks,malls, banks and more! everythnig that make you and your friend laugh and have time is in there! even though you are doing the same you will not feel even a bit! you are so focusing in the game you will want to destroy your screen when one of your friends will have to leave. the guns make sure that no cops will even come near you and shutguns make the cops regret that they wanted to be a cop. but the game is very hard to new people. my most favorite heist is the night club - you can pretend your dancing or you are the DJ have so much fun!!! i got this game for my birthday present from my friends and they having fun hear me having fun (yea, they are good friends) but the AI is not that good
same same new name????RLFAV | Oct. 12, 2013 | Review of Assassins Creed Revelations - PC
well, the game, is really fun to play, the multy is boring, but the single player is so F***ING A-M-A-Z-I-N-G. the story in not that good but the gameplay, like most the the games of AC, is really amazing/ The garphics are phenomenal, the sensitivity is easy to control and more more more is you want to buy the game, you should! but is you want to buy it for the MP then forget it..

I am new to the Seattle area and WyzAnt, and am excited to start tutoring here! I know every student is different and I know it can be challenging to find effective techniques. So, when I tutor, my goal is not only to teach the subject, but also help students find the learning methods that work for them.
I have ten years of private and volunteer tutoring experience, over four years of formal teaching experience, and am certified as an ESL teacher. I enjoy teaching all ages and a wide variety of subjects, though reading and writing are my favorites. For me teaching is not only a job, but is personally rewarding leading my students to academic and personal success.
I ask for feedback often and use it to make sure the lessons are perfect for my students. Also, I will not bill you for a lesson if a student or parent is not 100 percent satisfied. Contact me and I'll set up a consultation lesson to help you or your child take the first step to seeing the improvement you've been looking for!

Ashley is professional while expertly engaging a reticent high schooler. Her ability to tune in to learning styles and tailor tutoring to the student has been impressive. She quickly ascertained that my son liked rules and logic and helped him to find patterns beyond rote memory (e.g. listen to the pronunciation to determine which syllable emphasized and thus has the accent). Her enthusiasm is contagious, making lesson time a pleasure.
Appreciate your feedback!
This was a great refresher to dust off my Spanish skills. Ashley made it fun and informative. Her patience, encouragement and practical approach was well suited to my objectives and made the lesson enjoyable and motivating.
My son absolutely loves getting reading and writing lessons from Ashley. He has fun and is energized after meeting with her. She is very patient with him, providing lessons that are appropriate for where he is at. She helps encourage him to gain more confidence. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her tutoring to others.
Ashley is so great. She's always patient and gentle. My daughter is an ESL student and sometimes feels it tough and she wants to give up. Ashley kept encouraging her and came up with something that would motivate her. My daughter really loves her. She's a great tutor.
Thanks so much for the feedback!
Approved subjects are in bold.
In most cases, tutors gain approval in a subject by passing a proficiency exam. For some subject areas, like music and art, tutors submit written requests to demonstrate their proficiency to potential students. If a tutor is interested but not yet approved in a subject, the subject will appear in non-bold font. Tutors need to be approved in a subject prior to beginning lessons.
I taught K-6 ESL students in Korea for the past 2.5 years. We used a content-based curriculum - thus I have experience with all the subjects. I also volunteered as a tutor for elementary students when I was in high school and university.
Each student "gets" math with a different approach. I believe it's important to explain and demonstrate concepts in multiple ways in order to find the right approach. I love math and love breaking it down and empowering students by guiding them and showing them that they CAN do math.
I received my teaching certificate through the University of Cambridge and worked in public and private institutions in Korea for five years. I teach conversation, general English, business English, and children's English (including Phonics).
I taught phonics to ESL students, integrating natural and functional language, as well to make an immersion environment. I am knowledgeable in regards to both phonetic and sight-word methodologies. I am familiar with many different phonetic approaches, including vowel-first approaches, related sound approaches, blends, digraphs, etc.
Reading is the core of learning and I believe it's key to find texts that students are interested in and then build from there. I have experience working with students of all ages and helping them increase their motivation, comprehension and enjoyment of reading.
My background in language teaching includes 5 years of international experience, an ESL teaching certificate, and passing scores on all sections (reading, writing, speaking, listening) of the national Spanish (PRAXIS) teaching exam.
In my previous position, I made individualized study plans for my students. In order to do this I researched many aspects (time frame, memorization and analysis, learning style, subject matter) and used many different kinds of study techniques, including flash cards, reading/writing application, oral explanation, etc.

It's amazing how stupid airlines are sometimes. PRICE generates purchases followed by schedule for leisure travelers.
How do they track people using Expedia or any other travel service?
I don't think it is stupid. The web analytics definitely can provide more insights to the company.
Airlines are thinking about more than just flights. They're also trying to grow their ancillary business so these tracking tools will be helpful.
The article talked about the data that can be acquired from the actual aircraft in flight.
Its possible to generate a lot of data if you consider every possible thing that you could put a sensor on in flight.
Engines, Flight electronics, etc ... even the door on the heads to see how many times passengers access them in flight. O2 and air quality too.
The data could be used in determining how they can reduce downtime between flights, predict malfunctions and increase a plane's airworthiness. Also monitor fuel consumption among other things.
Sure it can increase efficiencies, but until they realize that smaller seats with no leg room means that I'm not going to choose them except as a last resort.
clickstream data analytics has been there for longer time as part of web analytics , and I am not quite sure why would we tie this to big data . any thoughts ?

MSA Oct '11 Panel: Music, Gender and Modernist Intersubjectivity
full name / name of organization:
Cecily Swanson & Ben Glaser (Cornell University)
contact email:
This panel will explore how the modernist music salon, modernist musical event, and the poetics and rhetoric of music within modernist writing, call attention to moments of failed artistic autonomy, and thus permit the articulation of social relationships that might seem otherwise foreclosed. In particular, it asks how the gendering of music informs modernism's claims for autonomy, and how such claims might be challenged or revised through a critical exploration of modernism's diverse discourse of music. In the case of Ezra Pound and T.S. Eliot's portraits of women, for example, the parody of "feminine" musicality – meaning affective, lyrical, and traditional poetic forms – ironically suggests their sustained fascination with, rather than contempt for, romantic aesthetics. Similarly, Gertrude Stein and Virgil Thomson's collaborations on the operettas Four Saints and Three Acts (1927) and The Mother of us All (1946) highlight the pageantry of the avant-garde so as to draw attention to a communal aspect of Stein's seemingly singular aesthetic practice. And Muriel Draper's memoir of her London music salon, Music at Midnight (1928), which was admired for sounding "just like her talk," underscores the ineffability of salon chatter, and thus grants a feature of stereotypical female sociability, chattiness, the same privileged status occupied by music within the modernist imagination. Submissions to this panel should explore ways in which the gendered form and figure of music in modernism animates concerns over intersubjectivity and aesthetic autonomy as they play out in a wide range of texts, genres, and performance contexts.

Planet Person
Source: Babycenter Community
Mom Rating
Ages: 6-8+ years
In: Arts & Crafts
Instructions:You can make a funny "person" with a head of gorgeous green "hair!" Your plant person can sit in a small plastic lid or plate in your kitchen and you can watch his hair grow each day!
You'll need an old nylon stocking, some soil, 2 tablespoons of grass seed, thumbtacks and a twist tie.
First, cut the foot from the stocking and pour the grass seed into the toe. Add soil until the foot is full. Now tie the stocking tightly at the opening using the twist tie, and place it on the plate with the twist-tie side down.
Push in thumbtacks or cloves to make eyes, nose and mouth- or you can use fabric scraps or permanent ink markers. Soak your plant person with water and place in a sunny spot. Moisten it every day. When the "hair" grows, you can cut it in funny haircuts with scissors!(from the website)

Studying School Chemistry
Published in TC Today - Volume 34, No. 2
As a toxicologist, Brian K. Perkins (Ed.D., '97) predicted health outcomes based on sophisticated mathematical algorithms developed by actuarial scientists. • Today, he's putting those quantitative skills to use as an education researcher and faculty member in Teachers College's Department of Organization and Leadership. • "In medicine, epidemiology is like a detective science—you see what's occurred and try to figure out what has caused it," says Perkins. "So at TC, we say, 'We have our educational system, now let's figure out what's wrong and see how to change it.'" • Since 2006, Perkins—sponsored by the Council on Urban School Boards at the National School Boards Association—has conducted several groundbreaking studies on school climate in city districts across the nation. His first study, "Where We Learn," surveyed 32,000 students from 129 schools on issues that ranged from bullying and parent involvement to racial attitudes and school safety. • In 2007, in his study, "Where We Teach," he surveyed 5,100 teachers and administrators on similar issues. A year later, after Perkins had arrived at Teachers College, he surveyed 10,000 urban parents for a third study, "What We Think." • This fall, Perkins plans to survey 100,000 children, 20,000 teachers, 20,000 parents and 1,000 administrators to delve deeper into these stakeholders' views and expectations about school climate. • What people think and expect about school can have an impact on what happens there, says Perkins, who has also done school studies in South Africa. • "People come expecting things, based on what they've heard and what they've been conditioned to think," he says. • How did a toxicologist become an education researcher? As a public health student at Yale, Perkins worked with James Comer, one of the nation's leading child psychiatrists (and currently a Teachers College Trustee). Perkins, who had earned his bachelor's degree in chemistry at Grambling State University, turned to education after Comer asked him to develop research criteria to evaluate the effectiveness of an educational program. • Comer wanted someone outside the educational field to design the evaluation protocols. • "I remember talking to Dr. Comer and realizing that all my training in chemistry and toxicology were very valuable to me in education because I could see the systemic nature in social organizations," Perkins says. "Everything in chemistry and toxicology is about systems, so I posed questions that appeared to be ordinary location questions to me, but were atypical of the way people then had been trained in education." • His decision to delve into education issues changed his life. He went on earn his doctorate at Teachers College and join the faculty at Southern Connecticut State University in New Haven, where he served as Chair of its Department of Education Leadership and Policy Studies. He later served as President of the New Haven Board of Education and was National Chair of the Council of Urban School Boards (CUBE) at the National School Boards Association. • "Brian understands the importance of a developmental perspective to any real school reform," says Comer. "In other words, that school leaders must create an environment that fosters the biological, social, emotional and moral development of children, and that enables adults to acquire the skills and understanding to make that happen." • One conclusion Perkins has drawn from his consulting work: even the smallest nuances of school climate can affect children in profound ways. The ornate school architecture of the early and mid-20th century may have made inefficient use of space, but unlike today's sterile buildings, it sent a message to children that they—and more broadly, the educational enterprise itself—mattered. At the same time, Perkins says, it's important for educators to recognize the cultural norms of the children they are teaching—particularly children from disadvantaged circumstances. • "Dr. Comer once said that in order for children in the inner city to be successful, they have to look and act different from anyone who's ever cared for them," says Perkins, an African American whose parents were high school graduates. "In other words, they go to school and get told, 'Don't talk like that' or 'don't dress like that'—but 'that's how Grandma talks and she loves me!' Or, 'That's how everyone in my neighborhood dresses.' • "So we have to deal with that. We're deconstructing children at the same time we're constructing them as new citizens." • Perkins' major studies can be accessed at www.nsba.org. previous page

In just over a week, Apple will finally release iOS 7.
The new version of the operating system that powers 56.5% of global mobile pageviews is shipping with a whole range of new features and exciting design improvements.
Some of the most interesting changes to iOS can be found inside mobile Safari. These changes directly affect the design structure of the browser, and so, by extension, a user's experience of your site.
In this post, I want to share with you three core UX/UI changes in Safari on iOS 7 that you should keep in mind when optimizing your site for Apple devices.
1. Edge Swipes Are Dead
Previous versions of Safari allowed users to swipe down the Notification Centre from the top edge of a device. However, in iOS 7, Safari takes full advantage of all four edges of a user's device.
Gestures have been incorporated that let you swipe from left to right to navigate back through the browser history, and from right to left to navigate forward through it. You can also swipe from the bottom up to access the new Control Center.
How This Affects Your Site
First, if you were thinking of using any kind of slide-out navigation, you'll need to reassess the implementation. To avoid breaking the user experience, you now need to trigger the navigation "on touch" rather than "on edge pull".
Next, you have to revisit the way you use image carousels on your site. If the images are displayed with little or no padding, a visitor may start swiping them at the very edge of the screen, triggering the iOS back/forward gesture.
Left: Skinny Ties on iOS 6 — Carousels work as expected.
Right: Skinny Ties on iOS 7 — Swiping the carousel now triggers a gesture to go back a page.
UPDATE: As one of the commenters pointed out, the carousel isn't actually broken. It still works if you don't swipe from the edge of the screen. What I tried to illustrate is that your visitors will likely be swiping all over the screen and may trigger a gesture they aren't expecting.
2. Good Navigation Is More Important Than Ever
Another thing you'll notice about the new Safari is that the interface gets minimized as you scroll through a website.
While the URL bar just gets smaller, the basic navigation disappears completely and can only be brought back up by quickly scrolling upwards (note: a similar pattern is used in Google Chrome for iOS).
How This Affects Your Site
Well-designed websites will benefit from this more minimalist and immersive experience, but sites with confusing navigation will struggle to keep users on the page without the simplicity of the back/forward buttons.
That's why you need to make sure that your site's navigation is easy, intuitive, and touch-friendly.
3. More Screen Real Estate. Different Fold.
As mentioned above, Safari now sports a new, full-screen design where interface elements minimize or disappear during normal browsing.
What this also means is that the fold, which is an important consideration for many sites, may shift unexpectedly.
For example, on the screenshot below, you can see that on our own site, the customer logos are only half-visible on iOS 7 (vs. iOS 6).
Social proof is an important factor for our company, so we may consider adjusting the layout to keep the logos visible on every device and screen size.
How This Affects Your Site
Simply put, you now have another environment to test for. And if the fold is critical to your mobile UX, you should make sure you look at how your site appears on the new iOS as soon as possible.
At Mobify, we're really excited by the release of iOS 7 and the new version of mobile Safari. It's going to be an interesting journey to see how the new direction chosen by Jony Ive's team will impact app, web, and interface design for years to come.
In the meantime however, the best thing web designers and developers can do to make sure that their sites work great in this OS is to get their hands on a device running iOS7, or download Xcode 5 (currently offered as a developer preview).
Your Turn

Last Sept. 26, Alfred di Scipio, the president of the consumer electronics division of the Magnavox Company, put aside the financial reports. The first two quarters had been a wipeout. The third would probably be no better. He paced the carpet, avoiding looking out the window at Park Avenue, looming invitingly 34 stories below.

Re: Wafi Mall Exteriors, Dubai
And if you are doing the Palm, then at the end of the trunk and before you enter the tunnel that takes you to Atlantis and the crescent, there is a mosque on the right. If you drive through the mosque car park, you can then drive onto an undeveloped area of the Palm, right at the end towards Atlantis. It's a great and little known photo op.

Integrated closed-loop control (CLC), combining continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) with insulin pump (continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion [CSII]), known as artificial pancreas, can help optimize glycemic control in diabetes. We present a fundamental modular concept for CLC design, illustrated by clinical studies involving 11 adolescents and 27 adults at the Universities of Virginia, Padova, and Montpellier. We tested two modular CLC constructs: standard control to range (sCTR), designed to augment pump plus CGM by preventing extreme glucose excursions; and enhanced control to range (eCTR), designed to truly optimize control within near normoglycemia of 3.9–10 mmol/L. The CLC system was fully integrated using automated data transfer CGM→algorithm→CSII. All studies used randomized crossover design comparing CSII versus CLC during identical 22-h hospitalizations including meals, overnight rest, and 30-min exercise. sCTR increased significantly the time in near normoglycemia from 61 to 74%, simultaneously reducing hypoglycemia 2.7-fold. eCTR improved mean blood glucose from 7.73 to 6.68 mmol/L without increasing hypoglycemia, achieved 97% in near normoglycemia and 77% in tight glycemic control, and reduced variability overnight. In conclusion, sCTR and eCTR represent sequential steps toward automated CLC, preventing extremes (sCTR) and further optimizing control (eCTR). This approach inspires compelling new concepts: modular assembly, sequential deployment, testing, and clinical acceptance of custom-built CLC systems tailored to individual patient needs.

When we install software onto our computers, most of us don't know what the software is actually doing to our system.
What is the application installing on your PC? Is it adding information to the Registry, and could it be adding spyware to the system which reports back to the software supplier?
WinPatrol enables you to sniff out problematic software that would normally be classed as spyware, adware, a worm or Trojan horse.
These are applications that install on your computer with the sole purpose of performing a hidden task, such as trying to find loopholes in your system, logging keystrokes when you surf the internet and much more.
This application is different from other security applications in that it won't scan your hard drive looking for previously installed threats.
It's a proactive not re-active application which will constantly examine your current system and warn you if any changes have occurred without your permission.
