And Then You Know: New & Selected Poems (Includes CD)
Hardcover: 140 pages
Publisher: Word of Mouth Books
Language: English
Trim Size: 6 1/8 x 9 1/4
Publication: May1, 2009
With the release of his 13th book, And Then You Know: New & Selected Poems, Alexander is being true to her words. A former student of Giovanni at Virginia Tech, he has been writing and editing books since 1995, while at the same time building a career as a 'literary entrepreneur.' 'I decided very early in my writing career, that I wasn't going to be a starving artist. My father was a Baptist Minister, a Publisher, a college professor; he had a PhD from Columbia, and a Cosmetology license. I used to wonder 'why the cosmetology license? Now I know, in order to make a living as a writer, as an artist, you have to multi-task. You have to excel in different areas,' says Alexander.
In 2005, Alexander founded the Capital BookFest, and quickly sold the Washington Post on becoming the Presenting Sponsor. This year, the festival, which attracts more than 5000 attendees, will celebrate its fifth year. One year later, after over a decade of poetry and literacy work in high schools, Alexander founded Book-in-a-Day, a non-profit program that teaches high school students how to write poetry, and publish a book'in one day. 'Every teacher has come to the media center today to rave, absolutely RAVE about your poetry sessions and about you! We have never seen the students relate so well and respond so completely to anyone! You have inspired us. Truly, you were a gift to our students and staff,' said Kathy Allen, Librarian and Media Director, Oscar Smith High School, (Chesapeake, VA), after one of Kwame's workshops. The program is currently being delivered in schools in Virginia, New York, Maryland, and Washington, DC.
So, with all of this work'not to mention that
he gives speeches regularly, writes plays, and
is a
devoted father and husband'when does he find time to write poetry. 'Poetry is the fuel. It's the
force that drives me to produce. It's also what keeps me grounded, and focused on the act of living. And loving.' Truer words have never been spoken. Whether he's writing about his daughter's transition into womanhood ('10 Reasons Why Fathers Cry at Night), his wife's want for more poems to be written about her ('Good Night'), or the inauguration of President Barack Obama ('An American Poem'), the poems in this new book are honest, authentic, funny, tragic, and hopeful'and they make us feel good too. As an extra bonus, a live CD of Kwame performing his poems in Hollywood, with a band of his friends, is included with the book. This is a treasure from a true renaissance man. A font of ideas. Hope with wings. Poems that fly. And we are all better for it.

Dancing Naked on the Floor
Click to order via Amazon
Publisher:BlackWords Press
Pub. Date: December 2003
Poet phenom Kwame Alexander grabs
his pen again to carve words into the emotional heart of
the human spirit. In his third book of poetry, Dancing
Naked On The Floor, Alexander intentionally and
successfully abandons all rules of conformity and runs
wild among the playfulness of words.
He uses new and ancient writing to explore love, life, and truth within oneself. Sample titles from his book, Why Alabama Has No Professional Sports Teams, Ten Teasons Why Fathers Cry At Night, Spellbound, and Haiku for Maya Angelou just give you a taste of the intensity that his book in packed with. In a separate "Extending the Dance" essay section, he divulges his no doubt controversial thoughts on bad writing, and his hotly debated views regarding poets and spoken word artists. Dancing Naked On The Floor uses deft wit and wide-eyed focus to bridge the gap between passion and politics; family and freedom. Alexander takes the "soul" of words and uses them to relinquish the hidden emotions we all have buried under years of memories.

An interesting piece Alistair. It confirms that noone should be assuming it will be Andy meeting Nole in the final. But if Andy is in form I'm confident he
beat Ferrer on this surface. And who said getting to a GS final would ever be easy? Actually so far it's been remarkably easy for Andy even allowing for the wobble against Dolgo. So really really hope you're wrong in the sense that this could be another example of the surprise outsider making it to an AO final.

Thanks for the kind words! But I'd say slipping to number 5 and a very early US Open exit is a poor end to the year.

Insert Quote
Tonight, Novak Djokovic has thrashed Roger Federer, arguably the greatest player of all-time, whilst Andy Murray will be preparing to meet arguably the tour's form player. David Ferrer stands in the way of Murray's date with Djokovic in tomorrow's Australian Open semi-final. Ferrer, a Spaniard, won the Auckland Heineken Open two weeks ago and is henceforth undefeated this season after his blistering straight sets victory over his Davis Cup partner Rafael Nadal.
The clay-court specialist has also defeated Lithuania's hot prospect Richard Berankis, and another rookie in Mailos Raonic en route to the semi-finals. He holds a 3-2 winning record over Murray, but that could be considered inconclusive as all three of Ferrer's victories were on clay, his favoured surface, and Murray's wins were on his preferable hard courts.
Interestingly enough, the last time the two met was only two months ago in the season-ending World Tour Finals in London. Murray was victorious on this occasion, winning 6-2, 6-2. It might sound convincing, but the 23-year-old was forced to wrestle his way back from Ferrer's early break and face five break points throughout the match.
Murray won't read too much into that result. An evening match in Melbourne's grand slam is a world away from the indoor, air-conditioned court in London's o2 arena. The Scot was winding down to the end of a season which he finished in poor form, and Ferrer could consider it a success to even qualify for the end of season championships, having previously failed to do so since 2007.
A Davis Cup winner in 2009 with Spain, Ferrer is a tricky customer yet doesn't possess many weapons in his game. Federer has heralded the 28-year-old as the best returner in the game, whilst he is also one of the fittest around. His overall acceleration and net play may not be up to the standard of the supremely athletic Murray, but his deep, accurate hitting could pay dividends in the longer baseline rallies, which Murray may want to avoid.
Ferrer will rarely be seen being mobbed like Murray, Nadal or Roger Federer, yet the Valencia native is riding on some powerful momentum and can trouble Murray. This year's final will be the first grand slam final since the Australian Open in 2008 to not feature Nadal or Federer, and with the tradition of surprise finalists such as Marcos Baghdatis and Jo-Wilfried Tsogna in recent Australian Open finals, Ferrer has a rare, golden chance to extend this trend.

Jean Nelson named new Thorsby mayor (updated)By Stephen Dawkins Published 6:58pm Monday, November 5, 2012
The Thorsby Town Council voted Monday to name Jean Nelson the town's new mayor.
The mayoral seat had been vacant since former mayor Dearl Hilyer died Oct. 16.
Nelson was nominated by Neil Benson.
New council member Randall Higgins nominated and voted for himself. The four other council members voted for Nelson.
Nelson has served as council member from 1996-2000 and again from 2004-12. She ran for mayor in 2004 but lost by 17 votes to Tom Bentley.
Nelson touted her experience before the vote was taken to name the next mayor.
"I would work real well with our employees…and could lead the town," she said.
Higgins drew a parallel between himself and Hilyer in trying to garner support.
"He came in with no experience to run the town, and he did a good job," Higgins said.
Higgins and Nelson weren't the only two people at the meeting to voice their opinion on the situation.
Bentley presented a letter to the council that was read by John Hollis Jackson, the council's attorney who had been given authority to conduct the meeting until a new mayor could be named. Bentley's letter urged the council to put off naming a new mayor.
A second letter presented to the council contained the same opinion, but the council was ready to vote.
With no discussion other than Nelson's and Higgins' brief pleas, the council voted in favor of Nelson. She needed three votes but received four: her own and Benson's as well as those of Marvin Crumpton and Roger Marcus.
Nelson was immediately sworn in by Jackson in her second such ceremony of the evening.
Before the beginning of the regular meeting, the new council was sworn in at Helen Jenkins Chapel.
Nelson, Benson and Crumpton were all returning to the council. Higgins and Marcus are newcomers.
Hilyer's absence casted a pall over both of the gatherings.

Harvey L. Bryant, Commonwealth's Attorney for the City of Virginia Beach, announced today that Juan Haywood Medley, 36 years old, who previously resided in the 800 block of Governors Way in Virginia Beach, Virginia, was sentenced today by Circuit Court Judge William R. O'Brien for Aggravated Malicious Wounding, Malicious Wounding, two (2) counts of Use of a Firearm, and Possession of a Firearm by a Felon. Judge O'Brien sentenced Medley to 43 years in prison with 28 years suspended, leaving 15 years to serve.
Medley pled guilty on October 15, 2012. Had this matter gone to trial, the Commonwealth's evidence would have proven that on December 30, 2011, the victims were at a birthday party in the Pecan Gardens neighborhood in Virginia Beach. Juan Haywood Medley walked into the house, greeted some people, then pulled out a gun and shot two people. He then fled from the scene. Shortly thereafter, police found Medley hiding on the roof of a house nearby. A pistol containing Medley's DNA was also found on the roof. Forensic evidence proved that the bullets fired at the party came from the gun found on the roof.
The female victim was shot in the arm, and the male victim was shot in the arm and abdomen. Both survived their injuries. The female had surgery and has a metal rod in her arm. The male victim has had numerous surgeries and continues to suffer from the injuries he sustained that night.
Medley has adjudications as a juvenile for Possession of a Firearm while Possessing Schedule I/II Drugs and Possession of Cocaine. He has convictions as an adult in Hopewell and Virginia Beach for Possession of Schedule I/II Drug, Possession of a Firearm while Possessing Schedule I/II Drugs, Assault and Battery of a Family Member, Disorderly Conduct, Public Intoxication, Open Container, and Driving without a License (2 counts).
The case was prosecuted by Senior Commonwealth's Attorney S. Catherine Dodson. Please contact Macie Pridgen if additional information is desired.

Styling Tip
Apply a pea-size amount of lightweight styling lotion onto damp hair. Blow-dry one-inch sections with a vent brush. Lift sections slightly at the root and then smooth the length straight. Once dry, use a flat iron on just the ends to bend them out slightly. Use a dab of tacky styling cream on your fingers to pinch the ends and create a piece-y texture.Try on celebrity hairstyles in the Makeover Studio!

Paul Carrack's music
career started in the early 70's when he was the
keyboardist for the jazz band Warm Dust. After
Warm Dust broke up, Carrack ended up in a band called
Ace, which had a hit international single in 1975 ("How
Long"). As the 70's rolled on, Carrack found
himself working with bands like Roxy Music and Frankie
Miller, until he released his first solo album,
Nightbird, in 1980.
Because his first solo
release was not a huge success, Carrack was back to
participating with other bands as full fledged member or
session musician. He often worked with Nick Lowe
and Dave Edmunds. By the mid 1980's, Carrack found
himself as a significant contributing member of bands
like Mike + the Mechanics. It was his stint with
Mike + the Mechanics that re-fueled his solo career by
1987, and he carefully managed both gigs. Carrack
released the album
One Good Reason in 1987, which featured two hit
songs: "Don't Shed a Tear" and the title track. A
number of the Mike + Mechanic songs were song by Carrack
as well, like "Silent Running (On Dangerous Ground)" and
"The Living Years".
Paul Carrack continued to produce and
perform well into the 1990's, 2000's, and 2010's.

Great taste, but unfortunately contains sugar which I didn't realize when I ordered it. I would rather use stevia or erythritol as sweetener.

Sedum is a large genus of flowering plants in the family of Crassulaceae, members of which are commonly known as stonecrops. It contains around 400 species of leaf succulents varying from annual creeping herbs to shrubs. The plants have water-storing leaves. The flowers usually have five petals, seldom four or six. The leaves of all stonecrops are edible. The Yellow Sedum is occasionally used as a salad leaf or herb in Europe. It has a slightly astringet sour taste. The plant is an excellent creeping ground cover plant which is particularly great for hot, dry sites with poor soil. This variety forms a low carpet of small, bronzy green to beet-red leaves, spreading to form a thick patch. Clusters of ruby-red star or yellow flowers appear in spring or summer. They grows well in poor soils, sand, rock gardens, and rich dirt; and in a variety of light conditions. They prefers a lot of sunlight, very little water, and rocky soil. The plant is lovely in hanging baskets and container gardens as a trailing accent, as borders, or as ground cover. The plant is excellent for rock gardens. The plant is attractive to bees, butterflies and birds and drought tolerant.

Adam & Eve/DDB has created a tactical ad for VW following this week's news that an elephant had used a Polo model to ease its sexual frustration.
The humorous print ad, which runs in today's Daily Telegraph, claims that the car has "Elephant Impact Protection' as standard.
It is in response to pictures taken from Pilanesberg National Park in South Africa of a bull elephant on must – when its normal testosterone levels can multiply by up to 60 times – getting very close to a parked Polo hatchback.
The ad was created by Jo Cresswell and Sian Coole, with media planning and buying by MediaCom.

Bayou Bartholomew begins its journey northwest of the city of Pine Bluff, Arkansas, and flows approximately 300 miles before crossing the Louisiana border on its way to joining the Ouachita River. It is heralded as the longest bayou in the world. Lined in portions with cypress and tupelo swamps and inhabited by alligators and large turtles, visited by wintering waterfowl, containing over one-hundred and thirty species of fishes, this bayou is truly a wonder of nature. While the bayou has escaped many of the negative effects of channelization, so common to other parts of the delta, this riparian area still suffers from previous deforestation and agriculturalization. The watershed provides important habitat for many endangered, threatened, and sensitive species like American alligator, snapping turtle, and bald eagle. 175,000 water, Shumard, willow, nuttall, overcup, and cherrybark oaks are being planted in Jefferson, Lincoln and Drew counties this year as part of this multi-year effort.
This project was supported by our corporate partner, the Alcoa Foundation.

What do you do when you are in the middle of making a recipe, only to see that it calls for buttermilk but you don't have any on hand? Never fear – making a buttermilk substitute is easier than you would imagine! I'm talking all about it over at the Cafe Zupas Blog today!
5 Responses to How to: Make a Buttermilk Substitute
Katrina says:
Something everyone should know! I hate when I get stuck without buttermilk but it happens more times than I'd like it to!
Julie @ Table for Two says:
If only I had saw this this past weekend 🙂 I went out and bought buttermilk instead of making my own! ha
Ugh I hate when that happens! I think you can use this trick with nondairy milks too, but I haven't tried it yet. There are some "buttermilk" pancakes calling my name though so now I will have to give them a whirl 🙂
Thomas Foster says:
Powdered buttermilk should be on everybody's "pantry musts" list. I prefer it for baking, 'cause it's perfectly consistent, and it gives me options when to make the liquid phase thicker. That being said I breed the wet stuff in a jar for pancakes. (Finish a carton, wash it out with milk, milk goes into a jar, jar goes onto the counter for a few hours, buttermilk goes in fridge.)
Erin says:
I use that method whenever I don't feel like buying buttermilk, but I feel liek it's still not the same. Maybe 2% milk is too low fat?

Chris Paul and Tyson Chandler to the Warriors? Where do we sign up? Or … not so fast?… Read More »
Do you remember when Chris Paul wanted to be traded? Then he met with the Hornets general manager and coach and was impressed enough by their pitch that he changed his mind? Well, it seems the Hornets brass wasn't just blowing smoke. They seem to recognize what they have in Paul and are at least attempting to improve the team around him. ESPN's Chad Ford is reporting that a complicated four-team trade has been agreed to that, at least on… Read More »
I was reading something on a message board a couple weeks ago about Stephen Curry and what kind of statistical jump Warriors fans expect from him in his second season in the NBA. Many of the predictions were astonishing, somewhere in the neighborhood of 20+ points, 5+ rebounds and 10+ assists. Some were predicting 12 or 13 assists per game. Considering Curry's rookie statistics — 17.5 points, 4.5 rebounds, 5.9 assists — a jump as fantastic as 20-5-10 would be… Read More »
Chris Paul released the following statement after meeting with the Hornets on Monday morning: The meeting went well. It was great to get an opportunity to sit down with Coach Williams, President Weber and our new General Manager Dell Demps. I expressed my desire to win and I like what they said about the direction that they want to take the team. I have been a Hornet my entire career and I hope to represent the city of New Orleans… Read More »
Two questions concerning Chris Paul: Are the Warriors interested at all in pursuing him? I don't know if they are, though I believe they should be. The only doubt I have about Paul on this roster is that it puts two starting point guards together. But I think Paul's talent squashes that doubt. Remember when there was a chance the Warriors could get the top pick in the 2010 NBA draft? Many wrote leading up the draft lottery that if the Warriors lucked into the No.… Read More »
CBS Sports is reporting that Chris Paul has essentially demanded a trade from New Orleans. It's still a rumor, but it's starting to gain some traction. The following teams are listed as the most likely destinations for Paul: Magic, Knicks, Blazers, Cavs and Lakers. I still say that if Paul is available, the Warriors would be crazy not to present the best offer they can put together. The Hornets will be looking for "some assets, an expiring contract and a… Read More »
If you haven't seen the news that came out yesterday, ESPN's Chad Ford dropped some fascinating information regarding Hornets superstar point guard Chris Paul. Ford reported that the Portland Trail Blazers were close to a deal with the Hornets before the draft that would have brought them Paul.

The NBA's first coaching change is underway, as the New Orleans Hornets have responded to a 3-6 start by firing 2008 NBA Coach of the Year Byron Scott. Here's the article about the move on ESPN.com.

Bilateral Blur effect
The Bilateral Blur effect selectively blurs an image so that edges and other details are preserved. Areas with high contrast—where pixel values differ by a large amount—are blurred less than areas of low contrast.
The primary difference between the Bilateral Blur effect and the Smart Blur effect is that edges and details are still blurred a small amount by the Bilateral Blur effect. The result is a softer, dreamier look than that achieved by the Smart Blur effect with equivalent settings.
The result of the Bilateral Blur effect is very similar to the result of the Surface Blur filter in Adobe Photoshop.
Eran Stern provides a demonstration of the Bilateral Blur effect on the Motionworks website.
This effect works with 8-bpc, 16-bpc, and 32-bpc color.
The Bilateral Blur effect preserves the details in the logo and face.

I've made brisket before but this recipe is subtlely spiced and very easy to make. As with many other dishes, also tastes great the next day. I served this to friends who were visiting from out of town-the hands off cooking allowed time for visiting and appetizers. Served with smashed potatoes and sauteed chard.Yum!
Oven Barbecued Brisket
From EatingWell: October/November 2006
A relatively inexpensive cut of meat, a brisket needs to tenderize overnight before it's baked. Here we use a full-flavored, smoky barbecue dry rub, then it's slowly baked and basted. Brisket cuts are notoriously fatty, but the flat "first-cut" section is a far better choice for healthy eating than the fattier "point cut." It may be worth calling ahead to make sure your supermarket or butcher has one on hand.
7 Reviews for Oven Barbecued Brisket
We used a 6-lb brisket with 1.5x the other ingredients. Made this for our Seder in 2013. The shallots, garlic, etc. got a bit better done than I would have preferred burned a bit during the first two-hour cooking period and I needed to add a fair amount of water during the 1 1/2 hours of cooking after the tomatoes were added, so, BE CAREFUL not to burn anything (or lower the heat).
I followed the recipe and directions of the Oven BBQ Brisket but cut the cooking time in the oven by 30 min. I then pulled the brisket from the oven and placed it on the grill. Inside the grill I had Kingsford Charcoal, Soaked Hickory chips. I rotated the Brisket every 15 minutes for 2 hrs and added new charcoal and hickory chips at the 1 hour mark. Be very careful !!! it may start to fall apart on you. The end result is very similar to cooking the brisket on the smoker for 10-12 hrs.
OMG...this was so good. I would recommend making extra sauce.
Very good and actually not a lot of "hands on" time involved. I halved the recipe to make four servings using a two pound brisket. Because it was a smaller piece of meat, I reduced the oven temp to 250 degrees and baked for right around 4.5 hours in total, basting for the last hour and a half of cooking. I wish this recipe would have specified an internal temp to cook the roast to. After doing an online search I ended up letting it cook to right arond 195 degrees and then rest for another 10 min (although I was really worried it would turn out dry and tough). Not at all, the meat came out super tender and could be cut with a fork. It had tons of flavor. Served with some sauteed spinach and a whole wheat dinner roll. For the next day I used a whole wheat sub bun and made sandwiches out of it with the meat, sauce, and some of the leftover sauteed spinach. It was great either way.

Muslim group seeks rehiring of NY Wal-Mart worker
Friday, September 13, 2013
HAMBURG, N.Y. (AP) — A Muslim advocacy group is asking Wal-Mart to rehire a worker who posted derogatory comments about Muslim customers on Facebook and was fired last week.
Ibrahim Hooper, spokesman for the Council On American-Islamic Relations, said Friday that the group had accepted Terrance Earsing's apology and, in a letter to Wal-Mart U.S. President and Chief Executive William Simon, urged the retailer to do the same.
Earsing was an assistant manager at a Wal-Mart in the Buffalo suburb of Hamburg. Along with a picture of Muslim women in traditional dress, his expletive-filled posting read: "Halloween came early this year. ... Do they really have to ... dress like that."
"After the incident, we have engaged in conversations with Mr. Earsing on the situation and have come to the conclusion that Mr. Earsing is truly apologetic and will try to engage in more community and religious tolerance dialogues to ensure no future religious discrimination situations occur," the letter to Wal-Mart from CAIR-NY Board President Ryan Mahoney said.
"With Mr. Earsing's apology, we hope that Wal-Mart will accept his apology and if possible provide him employment," the letter said.
Spokeswoman Ashley Hardie said Wal-Mart Stores Inc. would not comment on the letter, dated Wednesday. Earlier, the company said Earsing had failed to meet the company's expectations.
Earsing told The Buffalo News that he doubted Wal-Mart would rehire him.
"I violated a company policy," he said. "I violated their trust."
He said he has interviewed with other retailers since losing his job.
Earsing did not immediately return a telephone call Friday.
The Council on American-Islamic Relations, meanwhile, is urging leaders in the Muslim community to connect Earsing with job leads.
"No one likes to see someone in this economy lose their job," Hooper said.

NAPPANEE — The EF3 tornado that made its path southeast of Nappanee five years ago was rare, and Elkhart County had not witnessed a tornado of such intensity since the 1965 Palm Sunday tornado, according to Michael Sabones, meteorologist-in-charge at the National Weather Service, Northern Indiana office.
The night the tornado hit in Nappanee, Sabones and the team at the NWS Northern Indiana office switched from their day-to-day routine to an organized operation with the focus of sending warnings to the community.
With a fast developing storm, the challenge was to have enough time to send warnings to the community.
"We had very strong winds that were moving the storms, moving about 60 mph," he said. "It formed very rapidly and moved very rapidly and had Nappanee in its sights, and there wasn't a lot of time to deal with it. That was certainly a challenge."
The community had 10 minutes to seek shelter before the tornado hit.
The tornado touched down around 10:05 p.m. just west of Bourbon as an EF0. As it moved northeast toward Kosciusko County with winds at 50 mph, it evolved quickly to a level EF1 tornado.
When it reached Nappanee, it became a high-end EF3, with winds reaching 165 mph. It dissipated at C.R. 46 and C.R. 17.
The tornado destroyed several homes in its path. According to a damage assessment from the city of Nappanee, 64 homes were destroyed, with 148 receiving major damage and another 27 receiving minor damage. Nearly all businesses affected were in Nappanee.
"A level EF 4 is pretty darn bad. When we had the Palm Sunday tornadoes in Elkhart in 1965, those were EF4 tornadoes," Sabones said. "A high-end EF3 is approaching the types of storms we had back then."
Though not as rare as EF4s and EF5s, level EF3 tornadoes are not seen very often, Sabones said.
The time of the day that the tornado hit was also rare. Tornadoes don't usually hit at night. But the effective use of warnings and the fact that people took action immediately helped avoid fatalities, Sabones said.
"This was a difficult storm to predict I'm very thankful we were able to get warnings out in time and then the community reacted very promptly," he said.
Elkhart Truth reporter Dan Spalding contributed to this story.

'Learning laptop' doesn't teach the guys much
America's Least Wanted The suspect: Vtech Learning Laptop
Description: Orange enough to be nauseate to a University of Kentucky basketball fan.
Offense: General uselessness and inciting riots. Violating 10th Amendment mom's rights provisions that make it clear humans possess education powers to the exclusion of machines.
Welcome to the latest installment of "the toy that has to go."
Admittedly, it's not nearly as obnoxious as the police car from hell. I'm pleased to report that that toy lasted less than a month before the guys smashed it to smithereens. The sound still worked, though -- the siren wailed all the way to the garbage can. I was afraid the guys would wake up and perform a rescue mission.
My conspiracy theory is becoming far stronger than a theory, though. The laptop, you see, came from the same person kind enough to send Ready Freddie, the "learning robot," to tear asunder our happy home a few years ago. It's not paranoia if they really are out to get you.
Ready Freddie and the computer have a lot in common. Both are designed to make parents feel good about overspending for a computer chip encased in colorful plastic, because it's a "learning toy."
Big Guy learned a lot from Ready Freddie, all right. He learned how to run screaming into my room in the wee hours after a midnight shift in the toy box set off Ready Freddie's electronic chirp. His electronic pal never succeeded in teaching him to snap his pants or identify numbers, though. Actually humans helped with those accomplishment.
Both guys have learned a lot from the laptop in one short day.
They've learned that all rules of civilized conduct fly out the window when a brightly colored, noisy toy walks through the door. They've learned to grab, push, pull and shove because the concept of taking turns is forgotten in the face of a novel plaything.
They've also learned that the laptop really isn't much fun. They'll tap intently at the keyboard for five minutes max, Little Guy "doing his work" and Big Guy running an airline and checking for ticket availability, before boredom sets in.
But the second someone sets it down, the other immediately wants it.
I'm thinking of digging out my college copy of "Leviathan" tomorrow. Maybe a little reading about life that's "nasty, brutal and short" would be just the human-induced education needed to counteract the machine.
At least the laptop's volume is a few decibels lower than the car. Or maybe I can't hear it over the guys' caterwauling.
There was an encouraging sign before bedtime, when the laptop wouldn't power up. Maybe its last hard thump on the ceramic tile did it in -- I swear I didn't do it.
Or maybe I lucked out, despite all the evil toy deeds that keep coming my way.

Amazing o-o ... Although I wish I could play these kind of games with some friends : (
I cannot promise you that as 100% sure.
But we will do our best to add local co-op sooner or later.
I really like your graphic direction, it all looks very detailed and smooth in my opinion. It would be absolutely mindblowing if you would create a real-time strategy game similar to Empire at War or Space Pirates and Zombies with exactly this great graphic style. I wish a great sucess with this game!
Thanks! You will be happy to know that we are actually already working on it!
Have a look :
So does Syder also support singleplayer and real-time strategy fleet movement? Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love your whole concept but a game with this graphic style and fleet movement, planet management and so on would defintely be a great one.
Well right now it's just a prototype, but I'm afraid it will be more on the action-rpg side.
Something like gta2 in space with some tactical rpg in it.
Awesome game, only tried the demo so far but I really like the feel and look of it.
There's only one issue, there needs to be a restart level choice when you die.
Too many menus to go through to get back into the action ;D
(perhaps for the best, or I'd still be playing)
Glad you like the demo, and thanks for your feedback!
I agree with you, there are a couple of things to improve in those interfaces, especially in survival mode. We will try to fix it in one of the next updates! :D
Yes, old school amiga fun. Looks great.
Any plans for future soundtrack?
I was thinking the same the other day...
We will probably release the sountrack in the future, but we don't have any actual plans right now. Glad to see your interest!

Sponge Filter Ceramics Rings
I am currently using a sponge filter in a 10 gallon tank to raise fry.
There would be room for about 5 or 6 ceramic rings to fit in the center of the sponge filter housing.
I can't help but think that the ceramic rings would help to house additional helpful bacteria.
Would it be benificial to put some ceramic rings inside the sponge filter to help with biological filtration?
Thanks in advance for any responses,
I don't think you'd benefit from adding media to the middle channel as much as the flow-through of the sponge filter might suffer. Just amke sure the sponge is correctly or over-sized and it should not be an issue. I'm running a 40 gallon with only a sponge filter/powerhead combo.
Thanks DKRST

Motorists Wasted 3.9 Billion Gallons of Fuel Due to Traffic in 2009
Posted By Ami Cholia On January 24, 2011 @ 2:58 pm In Green Transportation,Innovation | 1 Comment
As the economy has started picking up, so has the congestion on our streets, a new study [2] from Texas Transportation Institute at Texas A&M University has found. According to the study, our traffic levels are starting to resemble pre-recession levels nationally, forcing people to spend more money on gasoline, which is wasted while cars idle in traffic.
The 2010 Urban Mobility Report [4], found that the economic downturn and high gas prices led to fewer people driving, but we're starting to see a strong resurgence. According to the report, "In 2009, congestion caused urban Americans to travel 4.8 billion hours more and to purchase an extra 3.9 billion gallons of fuel for a congestion cost of $115 billion." Which means an average American spent an additional 34 hours in traffic in 2009 and paid about $808 for it.
Drivers in Chicago and Washington, D.C., the most affected cities, had it even worse. Commuters there spent an average of 70 hours stuck in traffic. To put that into perspective, commuters in Chicago lost $1,738, in delays while D.C. drivers wasted 57 gallons of gas.
The Texas Transportation Institute looked at traffic congestion in 439 urban areas across the United States. Here are the other top [6] cities with bad traffic problems:
1st – Chicago and Washington, D.C. – 70 hours
3rd – Los Angeles/Long Beach– 63 hours
4th – Houston – 58 hours
5th – San Francisco-Oakland (Bay Area)– 49 hours
6th – Dallas-Fort Worth and Boston – 48 hours
8th – Atlanta and Seattle – 44 hours
10th – New York- Newark area – 42 hours
While the fact that our economy rebounding is great news, the report is a great indicator about the state of our infrastructure right now. It's become clear that we need more public transit, tolls, and other traffic-changing patterns and systems to keep our cars moving.
But there is one silver lining: the study found that public transportation may have eased some of the pain: our nation's existing bus and rail network saved us another 785 million hours of wasted time spent in traffic. Now can you imagine what a difference it would have been if our public transportation programs were expanded only slightly?
The shocking amount of fuel wasted by idling traffic is a clear call for better, more efficient transportation infrastructure and systems — including public transportation.

TRON: Evolution Walkthrough
The people who made TRON: Evolution had it pretty easy — the basic elements of their video game had already been designed for them by the people who made the movies. That doesn't mean, though, that the game is bad, or without its challenges.
Combining hi-octane 3rd-person action with RPG elements and futuristic racing, the game also features a robust multiplayer mode that will bring the most exciting sequences in the movies to life.
Use this walkthrough to navigate the trickiest elements of the singleplayer campaign. You can see lists of trophies and achievements. We'll also have cheats and unlockables available next week.
Table of Contents
Chapter 1: Reboot
- Follow NAVI BIT to meet Tron at the elevator.
- Keep following the blue lights to stay behind Quorra, learning your parkour-esque moves along the way.
- You'll encounter a few baddies up ahead. Use both melee and disc attacks to get rid of them, then continue to the installation ceremony.
- Abraxas attacks! Perform the on-screen combos to send him to the platform above, and take care of the minions in-between. When all is finished, head to the disc station to check out your upgrades.
- Switch on NAVI BIT to see where you need to go, then follow the trail down the corridor and around the wall.
- Run across the ETC to open the door, then fight the infected daemons.
- Follow the trail around the wall to find an Abraxas disc shard. Leave through the upper door.
- The next room has a corrupted ETC column. Get to the center platform and activate the energy spot to clear it, then exit through the door nearby.
- Hop down and activate the two corrupted energy points in the next room, then press onward.
- Your next objective: clear the area of all enemies. Run through each room talking out the soldiers as best you can. Try to preserve your health by using blocks and frequent jumps.
- Use parry attacks to take out the red scout sentries.
- You'll receive the mag Disc in the next room. Use it to follow Quorrn.
- A load of sentry enemies attacks. Use power shots to get rid of them.
- Use a combination of mag Disc grapples and jumps to work your way up and out of the room.
- Grapple across the small chasm and hit the disc station!
- Use some clever acrobatics to work your way to the room with more of Clu's sentries. Take them out, and use power slams to take care of the heavy sentries.
- Use grip points to move around the pillars. Take out the heavy sentries as efficiently as you can, then meet up with Quorra in the bar.
- Light cycle time! Focus on driving and keeping up your speed, especially in the first and third chunks of the race. Be prepared to die several times.
Chapter 2: Shutdown
- Take out the first few groups of enemies, then vault up the wall to the right.
- Run along the glowing billboard and mag grapple across to the disc station.
- In the local archives room, hit the red switches to create a bridge to the far door.
- Climb up and around to reach a mag grapple point, then swing up to the next area.
- Run towards the firing tank and leap across the gaps it creates. Zig zag your way across the next area.
- When the building begins to fall, run to the left and grapple across the chasm.
- Enter the vehicle router station. Take out the tank and climb up to activate the energy points.
- Tank time! Don't rush this next area, as it's better to take it slow, be thorough, and obliterate enemies from afar. Reserve the energy points for when you really need them, and don't forget to shoot the foot soldiers.
- When you're back on foot, dispatch the heavy soldiers and follow the path out.
- Watch the blue beam as you work through the next corridor to the master line control room.
- Inside, hit all the red switches and climb through the center opening.
- A grenade variant attacks. Stay on the move and keep hitting him with strong disc attacks.
Chapter 3: Arija
- Follow Quorrn to the control room.
- Climb and grapple around the open area to the large bay doors.
- Inside Arija, make your way to the big mag point. Wait for the bridge to straighten out, then swing across.
- When you reach the building where the people flee, defeat the soldiers, then cross through the door that opens.
- More high-flying acrobatics. Time your jumps through the electric barriers and continue moving forwards and up.
- Some more soldiers attack in the communal assembly. Take them out and head through the bay doors.
- Grapple across and climb up to the conduit hub.
- Jump through the beam barriers and defeat the soldiers in the next room.
- A light staff parry soldier appears. Use bomb attacks to finish him quickly. Normal discs are usually ineffective. Head through the door when the battle ends.
- Back to the plaza for another round of battle. Afterwards, grapple up and swing your way to the theater.
- Activate the energy points and grapple up. Beat a hasty retreat when things start to crumble, climbing on top of the platform in the center of the tower.
- Defeat the soldiers that land and vault across the chasm.
- Book it to the master archives room. Run along the etc panels to activate all the switches, then head out the door.
- Do some more grappling to reach the cooling tower. Clear out the baddies and grapple through to the next area.
- Another tank section. Shoot the ships as they land. Work fast and the battle will be quick!
Chapter 4: The Combatant
- The first chunk of this chapter takes place on the light cycle. Keep your speed up to make the jumps, but don't hesitate to slow it down if your health runs low. There's a lot to avoid in this stretch.
- When you reach the game grid, take out the enemies on the first platform and a mag point will appear.
- Hit the switch to start the drill. Explore the rest of the area to locate and activate the other three switches.
- Time to find Gibson. Grapple around the room to reach the disc station platform, then climb through the gap there.
- Survive each game grid battle in turn.
Chapter 5: Identification, Friend or Foe
- Head inside the main building and go right.
- Use a bomb disc to topple the pillar, then run across.
- In the central lobby, work your way around the room and hit the floating switch.
- Use the stasis disc to deal with the infected that attack in the next room.
- Activate the energy point to open the door above.
- Use the mag points to reach the opposite side of the pillar. Hit the switch there.
- Clear the infected out of the next room, then use the bomb disc on the blue panel.
- Make your way around the rocks, timing your movements with the vanishing blocks.
- Clear the infected from the platform above, then run along the panels that appear.
- In the command operation cache, move around the room to hit the four switches. Hit the horizontal one last, then clear the enemies to open the door.
- Run across the bridge before it vanishes.
- Keep running into the camera to avoid Abraxas.
- In the reactor room, move fast to activate the two green energy points on the floor. Then, climb up and around the pillars to reach the third energy point.
- Katana variants attack. Use your new corruption disc to clear them out.
- Another light cycle segment. Keep your speed low this time, avoiding the chaos ahead. Only hit the accelerator when you see a ramp.
- Boss fight: Infected Gibson When Gibson first attacks, keep your distance. Eventually he'll turn green and beg you to end it. Attack him with your disc now.
- The next phase involves corrupted panels. Target and destroy them when they're marked with a chevron symbol. Avoid the sizzling infected soldiers that spawn, and clear the rest of the soldiers when Gibson is on the move.
- The final phase is all about combat. Gibson is vulnerable, so don't hold back. Block while rolling to avoid his attacks.
- After the battle, climb out of the cave. You'll reach a room with switches and soldiers. Hit all for switches to exit.
- You'll find a light cycle with some guards. Get rid of them, then hop on.
- This area is all about speed. Keep the accelerator pressed and, as a general rule, hug the left side of the track.
Chapter 6: The Approach
- Head into the big room ahead. As quickly as you can, climb up and hide by the walls to avoid the tanks.
- From here, you can circle the room and hop on top of one of the tanks. You can safely use melee attacks from here until each tank is destroyed.
- Fight your way along the streets, taking out ships as quickly as you can.
- When you reach the base, circle the pillar and hit the switches fast. Don't worry about the tanks.
- Keep fighting and you'll reach the Hub.
- Clear out both waves of enemies, then press on.
- Abraxas attacks. His first form is simple enough. Any attack deals damage, but wait for him to perform his ground slam, then move in and use a stasis disc.
- The second form is a bit more complex. Watch the floor where blue sparks seem to gather. Lure Abraxas to these spots and keep him there until debris falls on him.
Chapter 7: End of Line
- Make your way through the rock passageways until you reach two shielded soldiers. Take them out to gain access to the handhold above.
- Clear the next group of soldiers to move the barrier.
- Run across the jump ramp to leap onto a passing ship.
- On the freighter, kill the first group of enemies to create a bridge to the other side.
- Keep making your way along the small platforms until you reach the disc station. Upgrade anything you need, and swing across using the mag point.
- Destroy all the enemies in the control center, then cross the bridge.
- Take out some more enemies, activate the energy points, and hop on the elevator.
- From above, leap down and walk on the conveyor belts below. Follow them out and to the left, then hop down to the platform of enemies.
- Clear the soldiers away and climb around the red handholds. When you reach the mag point, run up the wall from the handhold, then jump and latch onto it.
- Hop back on to the conveyor belt and follow it to the far wall, veering left.
- Defeat the enemies inside the bomb bay to proceed.
- Climb down in the cooling alcove and cross the corridor by running along the walls, timing your moves to avoid the jets of steam.
- Drop down in the bomb distribution room and clear out the enemies there.
- Activate both energy points, then blow up the crate with the bomb disc. Hop through the crater.
- The light cycle appears. Keep your speed up to make the jumps in this area.
- Climb into the opening to find Quorra.
- Grenade variants attack. Keep moving, as they're pretty fast with their bombs. Try to isolate them on the center platform and pick them off one by one. Bomb discs work well.
- After the grenades come the light staff foes. Use stasis discs to make quick work of them.
- Finally, sword soldiers. Corruption works well against them.
- Abraxas decides to be annoying and attach himself to a power cylinder. Toss a bomb disc at it to sever the connection.
- Activate the energy points when they appear. Wait for Abraxas to stand on the center platform before hitting the final one.
- Repeat the process until Abraxas goes nuts and attaches to the center pillar. Toss a bomb disc at it to do him in for good.

Horton bought downtown for 33 cents an acre in 1867 and built a city
Horton birthday bash
What: Alonzo Horton's 200th birthday celebration. The event, sponsored by the Downtown San Diego Partnership, is part of its "tactical urbanism" campaign to make downtown streets more fun. There will be a birthday cake, music and games provided.
When: 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Thursday
Where: C Street between Third and Fourth Avenues in downtown.
Unlike Abraham Lincoln, the 16th president who shares Horton's birthday, most San Diegans would be hard pressed to say who Horton was and why he should be remembered today.
In a few man-on-the-street interviews, conducted Wednesday by U-T TV's Claudette Rogers next to Horton's statue downtown on Broadway Circle, no one knew of Horton's importance. Some sample comments:
• "I wasn't paying attention" (in history class).
• "Seems like someone important."
• "Is he the architect (of the shopping center)? I should really know."
• "He opened the plaza?"
• "I don't know who he was. I just noticed his name."
Horton timeline
Oct. 24, 1813: Born in Union, Conn.; family moves to Madison County and Oswego County, N.Y., then shores of Lake Ontario.
1834: Elected constable in Oswego on the Whig ticket.
1836: Moves to Milwaukee, where he trades in land and cattle
1848: Buys 1,500 acres at 75 cents and founds Hortonville, Wisc.
1851: Joins the Gold Rush where he works as a express rider, traded in gold dust and opens a store at Pilot Hill; cuts and sells 351 tons of ice in El Dorado County at an $8,000 profit.
1857: Returns east via the Isthmus of Panama, where he defends passengers on the steamer Cortez against rioters, killing eight attackers; loses $10,000 in gold dust.
1860: Marries Sarah Wilson Babe in Jersey City; lobbies for compensation from the Panama incident; stakes a claim in the Cariboo mining district in British Columbia.
1862: Opens furniture store in San Francisco.
1867: Visits San Diego after hearing of its potential as a port; buys 800 acres for $265 as "Horton's Addition" at a city auction of public land; buys 160 acres more for $4,000 in 1869.
1868: Persuades city to set aside 1,400 acres as the future Balboa Park.
1869: Interests Civil War Gen. William S. Rosecrans in building railroad east from San Diego; establishes Mt. Hope Cemetery.
1870: Constructs Horton House hotel on site of today's U.S. Grant Hotel; sets aside Horton Plaza; opens Horton Hall; founds San Diego Chamber of Commerce, Bank of San Diego.
1871: County records moved to Horton's Addition and into courthouse in 1872 on land at Broadway and Front Street, donated by Horton.
1873: Groundbreaking for railroad, halted when financial panic leads to termination of bond sale.
1877: Buys 2,500 acres for $1,358 at Boundary and Euclid streets, just north of National City.
1885: As railroad boom breaks out with arrival of service east, Horton builds 12-room mansion at 1929 First Ave., costing about $18,000.
1889: Joins in inauguration of the San Diego Flume Co.'s 35-mile aqueduct by riding rafts to the city; 1890, Horton's wife dies in carriage accident.
1894: Sells Horton Plaza to city for $10,000, payable at $100 monthly.
1905: Joins in demolition of Horton House to make way for U.S. Grant Hotel, opened in 1910.
1906: Joins in groundbreaking of Elks Lodge at Broadway and Second Avenue.
1908: On 95th birthday, interviewed by San Diego Sun calling the city "the most beautiful place in the world."
1909: Jan. 7, dies at Agnew Sanitarium at Fifth Avenue and Beech Street.
the big, colorful downtown shopping center.
And next to it is Horton Plaza park, the half-block green space with Irving J. Gill's classic 1910 fountain, both of which are being restored.

Virginia judge won't bar defendant from online posts
ROANOKE, Va. — A federal judge in Roanoke has rejected prosecutors' attempts to ban a doctor charged with illegally prescribing pain medication from discussing the case online.
Prosecutors asked U.S. District Judge Glen Conrad to ban Linda Sue Cheek from writing about her case on her website, Twitter and other social networking sites because they said it could influence potential jurors. They did so after she posted online that prosecutors were treating pain management doctors like drug lords.
The Roanoke Times reports Conrad refused their request on Monday, saying the court couldn't strip her First Amendment rights simply because she's a defendant.
Cheek is facing a 173-count indictment charging her with illegally prescribing drugs at a pain management practice she ran in Dublin.
Her trial is scheduled to begin Feb. 11.

Independence Day moving forward
By: Martha Garcia, Colfax Record Editor
There won't be any fireworks to cap off the Colfax Independence Day celebration this year, but that isn't stopping organizers from planning a bang-up event for Sunday, July 3. And, plans are already in place to bring back the fireworks in 2012, according to Laurel Mathe, president of Colfax Pride. "I thought we would be able to have fireworks, but that's not going to happen," Mathe said. The board of Colfax Pride, the nonprofit that sponsors the event, voted to proceed with the celebration without fireworks. "Apparently, we need so much security for the crowd, and that wasn't available for that day," she said. Two parades are planned for the day: the Little Patriot parade, sponsored by the Kiwanis Club, followed by the Lions Club parade at noon. Other activities will include the beer garden and band, sponsored by the Colfax Recreation Commission and the Knights of Columbus, and a smaller venue for vendors, mostly service groups and locals. If enough volunteers step forward to assist, the California Highway Patrol Gold Run Squad Club will be able to put on the Downtown Derby. Mathe said the tab for putting on the Independence Day celebration amounts to about $16,000, which includes $8,000 for fireworks. The Firefighters Association, Mathe said, had already committed to donate $1,000 toward the fireworks, as did the Colfax Lionesses. "They really wanted to have it happen this year," she said. Additional funding will be raised from the sale of Independence Day souvenir buttons, which this year feature the Quinn family clowns. Susan Maguire, of the Whistle Stop Quilt Shop has created a patriotic quilt and donated it to be used as a raffle prize by Colfax Pride. Sales of buttons and quilt raffle tickets begin this week.

On Tuesday afternoon, sometime between my arrival home after work and departure a few hours later for a movie, the weather took a decisive turn into autumn. There was rain, gale-force winds and the kind of penetrating damp that seems to cut through every layer of clothing straight to the bones. Today I am wishing that it rained butterflies, as illustrated in the above photo taken of Toronto graffiti. Wouldn't that be pretty?

It would be pretty! I wish it would rain butterflys.
Christina Says:
That would be super pretty. And then they could fly up and rain down all over again. You wouldn't really need umbrellas, though.
Rachael Says:
The umbrellas would come in handy as a place for the butterflies to land, and then people could walk around with them. I like the thought of it.

A.H. Belo Corporation Stock Upgraded (AHC)
TheStreet) -- A.H. Belo Corporation (NYSE: AHC) has been upgraded by TheStreet Ratings from hold to buy. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its compelling growth in net income, largely solid financial position with reasonable debt levels by most measures, good cash flow from operations, solid stock price performance and growth in earnings per share. We feel these strengths outweigh the fact that the company has had somewhat disappointing return on equity.Editor's Note: Any reference to TheStreet Ratings and its underlying recommendation does not reflect the opinion of TheStreet, Inc. or any of its contributors including Jim Cramer or Stephanie Link. NEW YORK (
- EXCLUSIVE OFFER: Jim Cramer's Protégé, Dave Peltier, only buys Stocks Under $10 that he thinks could potentially double. See what he's trading today with a 14-day FREE pass.
- The net income growth from the same quarter one year ago has significantly exceeded that of the S&P 500 and the Media industry. The net income increased by 559.6% when compared to the same quarter one year prior, rising from $2.67 million to $17.64 million.
- AHC has no debt to speak of therefore resulting in a debt-to-equity ratio of zero, which we consider to be a relatively favorable sign. To add to this, AHC has a quick ratio of 2.27, which demonstrates the ability of the company to cover short-term liquidity needs.
- Net operating cash flow has significantly increased by 60.67% to $8.52 million when compared to the same quarter last year. In addition, A. H. BELO CORP has also vastly surpassed the industry average cash flow growth rate of -11.72%.
- Powered by its strong earnings growth of 63.63% and other important driving factors, this stock has surged by 102.05% over the past year, outperforming the rise in the S&P 500 Index during the same period. Looking ahead, the stock's sharp rise over the last year has already helped drive it to a level which is relatively expensive compared to the rest of its industry. We feel, however, that other strengths this company displays justify these higher price levels.
- A. H. BELO CORP reported significant earnings per share improvement in the most recent quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. This company has reported somewhat volatile earnings recently. But, we feel it is poised for EPS growth in the coming year. During the past fiscal year, A. H. BELO CORP reported lower earnings of $0.31 versus $0.35 in the prior year. This year, the market expects an improvement in earnings ($0.32 versus $0.31).

anti-microbial, (you don't wake up with red, puffy eyes and a runny nose

stay OUT
while you fall IN to a beautiful and restful sleep.
The COOL Factor
It's really cooling for those who have temperature issues (or who may
perspire while
sleeping) or for those who just wake up a lot during the night, perhaps
simply because
they're "too hot". And, you don't wake up 10 times a night from your deep REM

more you
will appreciate The Chiari Pillow™. Especially if you consider what kind
of pillow you
might be sleeping with now!
A key to the success of the Chiari Pillow™ is
that it is adapts to YOU personally.
The special design allows you to form it to the way that it feels best for

inside like the
more expensive brand name pillows that use a heavier weight 'single piece
construction). Don't take our word on this, compare for yourself. Even
those who
have tried multiple types of other pillows sing the praises of The Chiari
