Australia Does Something Right
For some reason (because they are bloodthirsty criminals), Australia has come up multiple times in the course of our modest inquiry into Who Is Trying To Kill You. Here, finally, is proof that they are not all backwards, croc-wrestling, Men at Working fools down under.
The parents who literally killed their daughter by "treating" her severe eczema with homeopathy have been convicted of manslaughter and sentenced to six and four years in prison.
(Oh, hello, Huffington Post! What's that? You invited "expert in homeopathic medicine" Dana Ullman to Blog his first Blog for your Living section just last Thursday? What wonderful timing! Even your batshit "vaccines cause autism" commenters are not buying it, for once.)

Hello. Some of you might remember that I was working on the shape of the continents to base my world in a few months ago. I scrapped my previous map, to go for something that could technically fit on a globe rather than just a square. Right now I'm just curious what others think of the world shape (again). I have avoided the poles so far, I am not sure if I want polar caps on either or both or neither poles yet, although I am definately missing some snowy lands (unless I just moved the "snowy" part closer to the equator). My problem is that I don't want to overcomplicate and crowd the map with more land masses (maybe?). Anyways! Any feedback is appreciated! The map is in Equirectangular projection and Ill post a couple of globe views as well.
Also I should mention that the biome coloring is just a gradient to show approximate temperature zones, not actual biomes. Mountains are also just a base idea, very subject to change.

Many times I have seen Visual Studio solutions which have multiple projects that share source files. These common source files are usually out in a common directory and in the solution explorer their icon shows up with a link arrow in the bottom left.
However, any time I try to add a source file to the project that is outside of that project's main directory, it just automatically copies it into the directory so that I no longer have a shared copy.
I found that I can get around this by manually opening the project file in a text editor and modifying the path to something like "../../../Common/Source.cs" but this is more of a hack then I would like.
Is there a setting or something I can change that will allow me to do this from within the IDE?

Compassion is an emotion of which we ought never to be ashamed. Graceful, particularly in youth, is the tear of sympathy, and the heart that melts at the tale of woe. We should not permit ease and indulgence to contract our affections, and wrap us up in a selfish enjoyment; but we should accustom ourselves to think of the distresses of human, life, of the solitary cottage; the dying parent, and the weeping orphan.

Portrait of bearhead by epyon5Watch
©2012-2016 epyon5
Digital design for a future stencil.
This is a symbolic portrait of my friend bearhead.
This is a symbolic portrait of my friend bearhead.
I love the style... It would be cool to watch you make these!
Thanks. I often think about photographing or filming the process. But when I'm in the midst of making these I always forget till after.
This is so sick!!! Great job
Why yall call him Bearhead? My nickname is Chimpgrip because my left hand has a simian crease (that's when the heart and head line are fused into one). All chimpanzees and most people with down's syndrome have this trait as well as some average people.
Good question. Truthfully, I don't really know. It's a name he's gone by for years. Sometimes when we have shows at a gallery, he'll show up wearing a stuffed bear head on top of his own, whilst wearing a gas mask at the same time. People seem to enjoy the antics.
showing up at places whilst wearing a bear head is definitely lawful grounds for taking the moniker.
The gas mask is added style. More power to Bearhead.

When the local news starts reporting that a tropical storm or hurricane will make landfall near your town, do you know how to protect your company"™s IT assets?
If you do, congrats! This post isn"™t for you.
If not, here are some suggestions.
A Weather Warning Is When You Implement The Plan, Not Start It
A hurricane — or a similar event, like the June 29, 2012 "derecho" that slammed the eastern United States can strike without warning.
"In the greater Washington, D.C. area, where I live, the derecho was so rare and so violent that no one saw it coming — the emergency alert system only issued warnings half hour after the event had passed," said technology analyst Wayne Rash, who wrote up the event and its impact on IT in eWeek. "I don't think anyone could have planned for something this violent and this fast."
An event like this doesn't just take out power or connectivity. High winds and flood-level waters also damage entire buildings, while downed power lines and blocked roads can prevent or slow down repair activity – including the delivery of replacement hardware and appliances in the following days.
"The effects were devastating," said Rash. "It took out just about every data center in the area — including Amazon. The power was out, as were phones, Internet, cell service even the water and 911 system went down."
In other words: To be ready, you need to plan ahead — and also to be prepared for your best plans to not necessarily be good enough.
Here's some a starting point for what SMBs and remote and branch offices can be do to protect IT assets.
How To Prepare
Preparing for a weather event, like any project, involves a mix of assessment, plans and lists, policies and procedures, gear, training and practice.
Know Your Location:
What events are you vulnerable to? Are you on a flood plain? How high above ground level is your IT gear and cabling? How much weight or wind can your building's roof, windows, and walls sustain? Are there large trees that could fall on your building, and if so, what's the condition of their root system?
Inventory and Prioritize Your IT Assets:
Getting an inventory is easy — and you should already have one, for accounting and insurance documentation.
Next step: Prioritize which applications you would like to keep up, if possible, and which hardware you are most concerned about protecting. (Almost all hardware can be replaced — but some might not be quickly available, or not in the same model and configuration.)
For now we'll assume you've already protected your data with offsite backup.
For many SMBs and others, points out Beth Cohen, Senior Architect at Cloud Technology Partners, this won't be a problem. "Many SMBs don't have local servers any more, and are using cloud-based services instead. For them, their primary assets will be client machines — desktops and laptops."
For companies using local servers, "See if you can move them to the cloud, at least as a failover option," suggests Cohen.
Also, urges Cohen, "Make sure all your employees have methods of accessing systems for telecommuting access."
When you do get a weather warning, "Get system images, turn them off, unplug their power and network cables, bag them to make them as watertight as possible, and put them as high above the floor as possible so they don't get flooded," says Cohen.
Additionally, look for ways to remotely access your data for administration and management. And have some spare systems, like a laptop or two, so you don't have to wait for replacements — which can take longer when the roads are out and public safety remains the top priority.
Data Recovery Is The Real Goal
"Barring specialty stuff, hardware is a commodity, which can be insured and replaced," Cohen points out. Unless you need to be able to operate locally — for example, if you provide medical services — planning for disaster recovery through other locations makes the most sense. For example, if you're in Orlando with backup systems in Atlanta, both sites are unlikely to be impacted by the same event."
So, while it's worth identifying physical assets that should be protected, pay attention to preserving or restoring the business services these assets provide. Hardware can be replaced; downtime can't.
You'll also want to prepare and plan for what to do during a major event — and afterwards.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Cedarwillow A Classic I purchased these to add to my collection of La Rochere . This is the perfect size for morning juice or an evening cocktail. I chose the 8-9 oz glass. I've owned this glassware for many years and I find them to be sturdy and elegant. None of the glassware has ever chipped or broken. April 3, 2016

Rated 5 out of 5 by Evanhu19 Great glasses BUT, I love these laRochere bee glasses, however, be aware that these are 10oz glasses NOT 12oz! I've been discusing with customer service, who have been great, so if you are looking for 10oz glasses these are perfect. Very sturdy glases and look good too! July 2, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by shoes1301 Lovely glasses The glasses that were ordered were lovely and I was glad to find this set since I had bought some for my daughter on a close out and she had broken one of them and I wanted to replace it. My review, however, is about the service. When she received the glasses 3 of them were broken. She called and they immediately sent out another set. She was willing to send back the broken ones but she was told to keep the unbroken one and they would ship out another whole set. They did and she received it in 3 days. This service is one of the reasons I love to shop at World Market. Thank you for making this right so quickly and so easily. January 24, 2013

Video: Jimmy Kimmel unveils the trailer for "Movie: The Movie 2V" on his post-Oscars special
Release the Tatum!
On his post-Oscars special Sunday night, ABC talk show host Jimmy Kimmel released the uproarious extended trailer of his fictional movie "Movie: The Movie 2V." This, of course, would the sequel to his 2012 fake movie "Movie: The Movie."
This year's star-studded faux trailer features Channing Tatum, Jessica Chastain, Bradley Cooper, Gerard Butler, Jude Law, Samuel L. Jackson, Salma Hayek, Bryan Cranston, John Krasinski, Armie Hammer, Rachel Weisz, Kerry Washington, Topher Grace, Bruno Mars, Jason Schwartzman, Amanda Seyfried, Oprah Winfrey, Wolf Blitzer and, of course, Matt Damon.
Along the way, it also mocks "The Avengers," "The Twilight Saga," "The Walking Dead" and "Clash of the Titans."
Tatum, who performed a soft-shoe during the opening of the Oscars and stars in "Movie: The Movie 2V" as the only force of sexiness that could save the world, and Jamie Foxx, who stars in the Quentin Tarantino's Oscar-winning film "Django Unchained," were Kimmel's guests on his post-Oscars episode. Tatum and Foxx co-star in the upcoming action vehicle "White House Down."
As a bonus, check out the trailer from "Movie: The Movie" and Kimmel's other new faux trailer, "Life of Psy."

EUGENE, Ore. -- Dana Altman, who has accumulated 13-consecutive post-season tournament appearances and 11-straight 20-win seasons in 16 seasons at Creighton University, has been named head men's basketball coach at the University of Oregon, according to the school's interim Athletics Director Lorraine Davis.
Altman (6/16/58) becomes the Ducks' 19th men's basketball coach in the program's history after leaving Creighton as its winningest coach of all time with a record of 327-176 (.650).
His post-season tournament run and string of 20-win seasons, in addition to producing 10 or more league victories in each of the last 14 seasons, are all feats unmatched in the 103-year history of the Missouri Valley Conference.
He has won four Coach-of-the-Year awards from three different conferences spanning 13 seasons, including back-to-back MVC coaching honors while he was at the Omaha, Neb., educational institution in 2001 and 2002. Altman was a finalist for the Naismith National Coach of the Year Award and was named the NABC District 12 and USBWA District VI Coach of the Year following the 2002-03 campaign.
Creighton participated in seven NCAA Men's Basketball Tournaments and five National Invitation Tournaments under Altman, advancing to the second round of the NCAA championships in both the 1998-99 and 2001-02 seasons. He led the school to a MVC regular-season title in 2000-01 - its first in 10 years. The Bluejays posted a school-record 29 wins in 2002-03, finishing the season 15th in the Associated Press poll and 23rd in the coaches' voting.
"In addition to the hiring of a basketball coach with strong ethics and solid personal values, there were three criteria that were very important to me and this university during the search," interim Athletics Director Lorraine Davis emphasized. "First, we wanted someone who recruited students of high quality and character as individuals, academically as well as athletically. Secondly, we sought someone who ran a clean program with integrity. And third, we went after a coach who had experience with building and maintaining winning programs with the reputation as a great coach. We have that in Dana Altman. It's a great day for Oregon athletics."
Altman finishes his career at Creighton ranking third all-time on the MVC list of all-time wins (327), trailing only Basketball Hall of Fame coaches Henry Iba (486) and Eddie Hickey (337). In 2007, he was one of 10 coaches named as part of the MVC's All-Centennial Team.
His teams claimed shares of three regular-season Missouri Valley Conference championships (including the 2008-09 crown) and six conference post-season tournament titles.
"As I traveled around the country and talked with literally hundreds of coaches and college basketball insiders, the name that kept coming up as one of the nation's top college basketball coaches was Dana Altman," said Pat Kilkenny, Oregon's assistant to the athletic director who headed the search for the new coach. "Virtually all of them also expressed that Altman was as great a human being as he is a basketball coach. We are extremely fortunate and excited to have someone the caliber of Coach Altman to lead our basketball program into the future, and I'm sure our fans will see what I have learned – that we have hired a first-class individual and a first-class basketball coach."
"On behalf of the University of Oregon community and Duck fans everywhere, I want to thank Pat Kilkenny for the tremendous work he did to help select the ideal candidate to coach the UO men's basketball team," said University of Oregon President Richard Lariviere. "Dana Altman is an outstanding coach and an outstanding teacher. We are proud to have him join the University of Oregon family."
Student-athletes under his direction have earned six All-America honors on the court and four Academic All-America laurels in the classroom. Three players he coached at Creighton - Kyle Korver, Rodney Buford and Anthony Tolliver - have played in the NBA.
Along the way, Creighton established school records for most victories in a two-year (52), three-year (76) and four-year span (99). From 1998-99 through 2008-09, Creighton was one of just six schools to win 20 or more games each of those seasons, an elite list that also included Duke, Florida, Gonzaga, Kansas and Syracuse.
In addition, Altman's teams have ranked in the top 30 nationally in attendance each of the past seven years.
The Bluejays won five of their last six games in 2009-10 to finish with an 18-16 record.
Including a combined five seasons as head coach at Marshall University (1989-90) and Kansas State (1990-94), Altman has accumulated a 410-243 (.628) career record in 21 years at the NCAA Division I level. His 25-year overall head coaching ledger stands at 533-267 (.666), together with four seasons at Southeast (Neb.) and Moberly (Mo.) junior colleges.
Altman compiled a 68-54 record and one NCAA Tournament appearance in four seasons at Kansas State, during which time he led the Wildcats to three straight postseason tourneys. Altman was named the Big Eight Conference Coach of the Year after leading KSU to a 19-11 record and an appearance in the NCAA Tournament in 1993.
His success at KSU followed a brief one-year head coaching stint at Marshall, where Altman was named Southern Conference Coach of the Year in 1990 after posting a 15-13 mark. Prior to MU, he won 83 percent of his games (123-24) in four seasons as a head coach at the junior college level (Southeast JC, 1982-83; Moberly JC, 1983-86).
Altman's playing career began in 1976 at Southeast JC, where he captained teams to a pair of 20-plus win seasons. Altman completed his undergraduate education and playing career at Eastern New Mexico University. After earning his associate degree in business administration from Southeast in 1978, Altman graduated magna cum laude from Eastern New Mexico in 1980 with his bachelor's degree in the same field.
He received his master of business administration degree from Western (Colo.) State in 1981.
Altman broke into the coaching profession as an assistant coach for two years at Western State (1980-82). Following four seasons as head coach at the junior college level, he served three years as an assistant at Kansas State (1986-89) under Lon Kruger, with the Wildcats advancing to the NCAA Tournament each year.
Born in Crete, Neb., Altman was a two-sport letterman at Wilber (Neb.) High School, earning all-conference honors as a quarterback on the football team and as a guard in basketball.
Altman's seven-year contract will call for a guaranteed annual salary of $1.8 million.
He and his wife, the former Reva Phillips, have three sons - Jordan, 25; Chase, 24; and Spencer, 21 - and one daughter – Audra, 17.
On what he needs to be successful at Oregon:
"It's about players. If we can attract the right kind of student-athlete here we can build something special. The facilities are in place, the support is in place, the atmosphere of a big-time college athletics department is in place and the vision is in place and I'm excited to be a part of this."
On his goals for the program:
"I'm excited to be here and I'm excited to build something we all can be proud of and I hope very shortly this place (Matthew Knight Arena) will be full and we'll all be having fun."

Costs of denying sick timeJanuary 15,2014
Costs of denying sick time
I am a retired high school special educator, and my experience as a teacher was that it was often the older siblings who were required to stay home and take care of a sick young child if a parent could not do so, thus missing valuable school time and falling behind in their school work.
To the surprise of many Vermonters, there currently is no state or federal law requiring employers to grant paid sick days to working Vermonters. This means that about 106,000 Vermonters are compelled to go to work when they are ill, or when their children are ill, or lose a days pay for each day they are out sick.
Yet, 80 percent of Vermonters who were polled favor legislation requiring all employers to grant paid sick leave to their workers. As you would expect from Vermonters, paid sick leave makes good sense. These are the reasons:
Workers who lose a days pay because they are seriously ill or care for a sick child and have to remain home have difficulty meeting rent or buying groceries, and as a result their families and the general economy suffer.
Parents who have to seek a doctors care or hospitalization for themselves or their child may lose their job because of extended time away from work, increasing unemployment, decreasing tax revenue and further weakening Vermonts economy.
In Vermont the respect and dignity of a humane workplace for every worker is essential, and paid sick leave is a practical need that we can all identify with, for we have all been sick and we know what that is like. I urge you to contact your representatives and senators in the State House and let them know how important this legislation is. The bill is H.382, and you can read about its provisions at http://www.vtlivablewage.org/sickdayleg.html.

I think a huge part of Brock losing was because he was absolutley gassed in 2 minutes, I didnt think he was reacting that bad to the punches until he became exhausted. He came out and blew his wad right off the bat and did not in anyway shape or form pace himself. I dont know if it was a lack of respect for Cain or if he really thought that he could put him away like that, but when you are that big and go that hard off the shoot your going to gas, it doesnt matter how good of shape your in. He did to himself what Carwin did when they fought.

With these visions, Marivic joined ASHI in 2008. She has received a loan since then and has been able to start up a "sari- sari" store for a business. "Sari-sari" means that various foodstuffs, beverages and an assortment of grocery items are sold in a small, open room of their house. For Marivic and her family, the small profit her store is gaining is a great help to augment the sporadic and small income of her husband, who works as a hired laborer.
Through the loan she is requesting presently, Marivic hopes to grow her business further to increase its profit to support the needs of her family and to improve the kind of life they are having.

The Telltale Bagel
The secret moral hierarchy of the New York Post.
The $177 bagel story was, otherwise, part of a fairly routine political graft story, but the Post had the sharp eye to focus in on a single act of (alleged) malfeasance in the multimillion-dollar indictment of a city councilman, the crucial novelistic detail: the telltale bagel. Somehow, the allegation that—in addition to the millions he'd allegedly scammed through kickbacks and sweetheart contracts—he had altered a $7 deli receipt for a bagel and soda to $177.00 and expensed some sketchy campaign entity for the fraudulent sum told you something about the mind behind the crime.
There was also a 13-count federal indictment; the text inside said the councilman was "allegedly trying to bilk the city out of 2.5 million by using an elaborate network of shady community groups to funnel cash to himself, family and pals." So you would think the $170 alleged bagel boost would be small change.
But, somehow, it said something. Here was a degree of greed that was truly awesome. An uncontrollable passion that knew no bounds. No bagel was safe from it. What the councilman saw was not a bagel on his plate but Ben Franklin beckoning him. And the story also forces Post readers munching their morning bagels to consider the question: What's the difference between me and the councilman? In his position would I be capable of a petty scam like this? Was it somehow worse in its awesome pettiness than the rest of $2.5 million boondoggle?
MLNCBB is particularly provocative because it's bad behavior that's accessible to ordinary (well, extraordinary ordinary) citizens in a way that Tiger Woods' "gal pals," say, are not.
I should not neglect to credit the Post for doing more than single out the bagel. According to the story, the newspaper's investigative reporters "first broke the story of the probe into the alleged mishandling of millions through council 'slush-funds' in 2008." Serious journalism, too!
But it is the artful detail of the bagel that made this front page "wood" (the old-journo term for big, blocky, front-page type). The Post's lede inside: "Hope he at least got a schmear with that bagel." Readers got a story of MLNCBB with a schmear of moral speculation on top.
But we've only just begun to examine the carnival of noncelebrity criminal behavior that can be found in this one issue. There is the story about the state senator who slashed his girlfriend with a piece of broken glass and was convicted of misdemeanor assault (or what the Post called "roughing up his girlfriend"). I'd read earlier that she testified that it all happened as he slipped bringing her a drink of water, breaking a glass that somehow slashed her, which may be one reason why he got an acquittal on felony charges. The issue came to the fore again when the State Senate voted to expel him.
Perhaps the most thought provoking remark comes from the convicted senator condemning his expulsion: "This is an effort by some in this body to publicly demonstrate that it is going to expiate all of its sins."
He introduces a religious subtext! He portrays himself as the sacrificial lamb, killed so the rest of his flock may be saved. Sin, forgiveness, expiation. Abraham, Isaac, Jesus. Just what I was talking about, the true subtext of tabloid stories: We are forced over our coffee to consider profound theological questions. Does this guy deserve absolution? No, we didn't need this jerk to slash his girlfriend in order provoke us to ask deep questions about sin and redemption. But would we have thought about these things otherwise? Or just finished our bagel and moved on.
And then turn the page and one finds perhaps the most important story of the day: the dog-mugging. The story featured a picture of a white-haired dog in the snow, identified by the Post as "Lexie, a ten-year-old Westie."
The photo appears under a caption that reads: "THAT'S COLD; Lexie looks traumatized yesterday after some goon stole his winter coat while he was tied up outside a grocery store in Park Slope, Brooklyn."
Now, OK, go ahead, remind me there are lots of human beings without adequate coats shivering in the snow with no warm apartment buildings to return to. Still, reading this, your first thought is that the crime against Lexie surely crosses some kind of line: You stole a dog's coat!? Dude, what were you thinking?
It's valuable, I've found, to reflect on what the Yale English department used to call "conspicuous irrelevancies." Those little disjunctions in poems that, when unlocked, open a door to some unexpected meaning. The conspicuous irrelevancy here: Who's gonna fence a mini dog coat? Is there a ring of dog-coat thieves? No, the thief really couldn't be stealing Lexie's outerwear because he thought he'd make a quick buck on the illicit canine coat market, could he?
But then I thought some more about the "TERRIER-FYING CRIME," as the Post had it. What if the alleged "goon" had a little dog at home in his unheated apartment, a mutt, probably, who shivered whenever he went out. He figured the Park Slope yuppies probably had a couple extra dog coats in their condo at home. So, yes, it was still stealing, it was still wrong, but maybe it was also, on some level, selfless. A story of poverty and desperation, love and sacrifice. (You'd kind of have to sacrifice your self-respect to steal the coat off a tiny dog's back, right?) Straight out of Dickens. Or maybe Chekhov. (Think "Lady with a Lapdog.")
I'm not saying that's the most likely explanation, but it does provoke thoughts about pets and class, and, in fact, I'd bet the Post reporters were alert to these class tensions when they cited Lexie's owner saying she felt so bad she bought him two new coats. Two new dog coats for Lexie when so many mutts have none! Another MLNCBB story turns out to have complex subtext one can project one's vision of the city's class structure on.
Then we come upon something really lower than low, something that challenges our sense of how low human nature can go.
This is the awful story of a deadbeat dad whose child, Jennifer Rogiers, "died in 2005 at 22 due to lifelong complications from a debilitating spinal cord injury suffered during a breech birth."
The alleged deadbeat dad has already gotten nearly half a million bucks from the child's estate, even though according to the story he "paid no child support, contributed nothing to her medical care and visited her less than a dozen times in her short life." Gotta like the frankly moralistic tone of the impassioned prose.

Help! The Room has entrapped me!
I can't stop playing this game. I've become enchanted by it mystery. It grabs hold of you and takes you down a blurry rabbit hole of occult and alchemical bewilderment. Similar to the atmosphere of games like Myst, The Room creates this air of haunting and mystical enigma. Constantly stringing you from one clue to the next, expect players to think critically and for themselves. The narrative is vague but creates something of a hook to keep the motivation to continue down the spiraling mechanisms of its strictly touch based and requires you to interact with the objects; lending to immersion and creating a tangibility to the room and objects of the game. I should give would be players a tip before you begin. This game uses multi touch gestures every now and again for some of the contraptions. Don't forget to experiment with all the tools and movements possible. Some things are not as they appear at first glance so always take a second look. Take your time too. There's no reward for rushing through this masterfully crafted game. I cannot recommend this game if you're not interested in solving puzzles that require more than a few taps and simple mechanics. This is a thinking mans game. Don't miss out on this series. It's one of the best games I've ever gotten on my iPad.
I Lack the Words
I am still searching, and I have yet to find a game that surpasses the Room's gameplay. The touch-and-go style of this 3D puzzle is enough to keep you entertained for hours.
* This game does have none-neutral religious material, so if you are sensitive to content like this, then stay away. If you don't care and love a good storyline, then this is a MUST HAVE. It has a amazing horror story that has yet to be matched by any others. The obsession around the Null Element gives it an amazing, refreshing originality that many games lack.
Here's some things you should know about the game itself:
It is a largely horror-style steampunk game that is placed in a setting that is reminiscent of classic literature. You play as a friend or relative who has received A.S.' studies as part of an inheritance (some parts of the story require some assumptions on the reader's part, which I love). A.S., in order to protect his works, has locked them in a extravagant box/puzzle that the player has to solve in order to progress in the game. Most of the puzzles are around medium difficulty for a well-educated person, but beware of hidden switches and buttons. Use a lens to uncover otherwise hidden stuff, and have fun.
Overall, this is an amazing work for a individual game maker. I am looking forward to a sequel series to the Room 1, 2, & 3. Well done, Fireproof Games!
A Must Have Game!!
I am happy to say that this is absolutely one of the best games I have ever played. It is fun, addictive, and challenging. The hints give you the perfect push in the right direction without telling you what to do. Yes, it is challenging, but the satisfaction you get when completing a part of the puzzle is incredibly rewarding. I am blown away by the amazing graphics and overall quality of this game. Also, I have yet to come across any advertisements. Not to mention, it is COMPLETELY FREE. There are no micro transactions for more hints or clues, which I was worried about when first playing. This game is a must have for any and all ages, no matter what kinds of games you like.

Kukla's Korner Hockey
The Perfect Man For The Leafs Job
by Paul on 01/24/08 at 04:07 PM ET
Comments (0)
from Jim Kelley at Sportsnet,
My target: Ken Holland, the general manager of the Detroit Red Wings. There are others and some of the unencumbered mentioned above have their appeal, but if you want the best man in hockey today, it's Holland. Getting him won't be easy or cheap, but it's not exactly mission impossible either.
Start with a subtle overture. Sources have told me that Holland isn't put off by the challenge of rescuing the most poorly run rich franchise in the National Hockey League. He's not afraid of the demands of the legion of long-suffering fans or the oft-times hostile and over-abundant media.
A few nights ago, Fan590 radio in Toronto reported that the Leafs did contact Ilitch about 6 weeks ago for approval to talk with Holland and Jim Nill, their request was turned down.

Erin K. Thompson The taste of devastation. The 5 Spot , along with its Chow Foods kin, regularly boasts a globetrotting regional menu that changes
Erin K. ThompsonThe taste of devastation.The 5 Spot, along with its Chow Foods kin, regularly boasts a globetrotting regional menu that changes every three months or so. The current region featured: Tornado Alley, which, in the wake of the deadliest spate of heartland tornadoes the country has seen in nearly 40 years, seems tacky at best.
Assistant manager Jennifer Gleer says that, as of right now, the Queen Anne eatery has no plans to abort the ill-timed theme, which is scheduled to run through June 13. "When we went into it, we made sure that we did not highlight any aspect of destruction to be sensitive to people who've lost their homes," says Gleer, who grew up in St. Louis, Missouri.
Coincidentally, Seattle Weekly clubs editor Erin K. Thompson had dinner at the 5 Spot Thursday night. Of the decor, she notes that there is "a spinning papier-mâché tornado, photos of actual tornadoes, cows and people getting swept up into a tornado, and big paintings, including one of the Kool-Aid guy directing people into a basement while a tornado rages in the background." Hanna Raskin also ate there recently, and notes: "The soundtrack in the bathroom is a siren and a warning to take cover."
Sure puts you in the mood for a "Twister Fritter," doesn't it? Because if there's one thing we know about tornadoes, it's that they're hilarious.

I'm interested in what tools and methods are used for diagnosing flaws in large scale functional programs. What tools are useful? My current understanding is that 'printf' debugging (e.g. add logging and redeploy) is what is typically used.
If you've done debugging of a functional system what was different about it then debugging a system built with an OO or procedural language?

Guest Star
Tony: The poet T.S. Eliot said that April is the cruelest month. I think he was referring to today. Are you in any way connected with this cruel day, April 15?
BASEBALL HALL OF FAME TRIBUTE: GSN aired this episode on July 18, 2006 as part of a month-long airing of "WML?" episodes with at least one game featuring a figure from the baseball world. This tribute was in honor of the Baseball Hall of Fame's 70th anniversary. Previously, it had aired in regular rotation on GSN on February 26, 2006. - W-B (2006)
BELOVED CASEY STENGEL: Casey so charmed the panel, the moderator and the theatre audience that they couldn't get enough him, with the applause and accolades for Casey being led by Bennett Cerf. Bennett had disqualified himself because he was not only Casey's publisher on a new autobiography, but he was also the person who had talked Casey into appearing as the mystery guest on tonight's show. Casey appeared not as the manager of the Yankees, but as the new and first-ever manager of the expansion Mets, who were starting their inaugural season in 1962. - Tom Ruja (2006)
CASEY STENGEL & DOROTHY'S QUESTIONS: Back when Casey Stengel was managing the Yankees, during the baseball season - and especially as championship time drew near - Dorothy Kilgallen would frequently ask mystery guests questions concerning the study of dentistry. She would also ask about left-handed dental instruments. The story was that Casey had intended to go to dental school, but because he was left-handed, he required lefty dental tools. Casey had maintained that he had tried to very hard to obtain these instruments, but when he could not acquire them, he turned reluctantly to a career as a baseball player. Dorothy had apparently heard of Stengel's interest in studying dentistry and therefore repeatedly asked mystery guests these related questions. One night, it even got to the point where Bennett asked Dorothy why she kept asking these types of questions. However, she refused to divulge her reasons at that time. It was sadly ironic that when Casey finally did appear on WML, it was on an evening when Dorothy failed to ask her now-famous dental-related questions. Also, by this time, Bennett had published a biography of Casey, and was now probably well aware of Casey's one-time ambition. And now, the answer as to why Charles Stengel became known as Casey. It is because he was from K.C., which are the initials for Kansas City, Missouri. - brklnbern
After a slow start, the panel had one of there best performances in quite a long time. In fact, their performance in the final game really showed why they were so great. Things got off to a rocky start in the first game. Bennett did, however, correctly guess that the contestant was a cable car operator, but it was after John had flipped over all the cards. Bennett had better luck in the second game when he correctly guessed that the contestant was a tax examiner. However, some of the credit should go to Tony, who remembered the date, April 15th, and figured out that the guest had something to do with taxes. In fact, as Tony was questioning her, he used T.S. Eliot's famous line about "April being the cruelest month." In the mystery guest round, the panel was somewhat handicapped because Bennett voluntarily disqualified himself. Bennett knew in advance that the mystery guest was baseball legend Casey Stengel. As Bennett explained after the game, he had arranged for Casey to come on the show not only to promote Casey's book, "Casey at the Bat," but also to promote New York's newest baseball team, the Mets. However, Dorothy did make the correct identification, especially after Arlene correctly guessed "baseball" and Tony guessed "the Mets." The final game was a work of sheer brilliance as the panel, with time running out, correctly guessed that the young lady from Italy was a juggler working with the Ringling Brothers & Barnum and Bailey Circus. That remarkable performance definitely put an exclamation point on a great evening. - Sargebri
THE NEW YORK METS: As was mentioned in the first game, Casey Stengel was on the show not only to promote his book, but to also promote New York's newest team, the Mets. However, the Mets' first season in the National League was an unqualified disaster in the history of baseball. They wound up with the worst single season record in history when they finished with a tally of 40-120 for the official total of 160 games which were played in their inaugural season of 1962. In fact, for the next seven seasons, the Mets either finished at or near the bottom of the National League standings. However, in 1969, the "Amazin'" Mets, lead by Gil Hodges, not only won the pennant, but they pulled off one of the greatest upsets in sports history when they defeated the heavily-favored Baltimore Orioles to win the World Series. As it turned out, 1969 proved to be a remarkable year in all three major sports as the Jets beat the Baltimore Colts 16-7 in Super Bowl III; the Knicks, lead by Willis Reed, defeated the Lakers in the NBA Championship series; and the Mets achieved their win in the World Series. In fact, en route to the NBA title, the Knicks beat another Baltimore team, the Bullets, in the Eastern Conference playoffs. So, the city of Baltimore went 0 for 3 against teams from New York. - Sargebri
Back in August and September 1960, Dorothy asked almost every male mystery guest if he had once studied dentistry, in hopes that the mystery guest would be Casey Stengel, since he had studied dentistry earlier in his life. Dorothy did not ask this particular question tonight, but it was nice that she was the one to identify Casey Stengel as the mystery guest. - ymike673
FLIP REPORT: John flipped all the cards for the second challenger at four down, even though Bennett had essentially guessed her occupation. - agent_0042
Tony Randall introduced Dorothy as a "great Twister." This would have been a perfect time to see Dorothy do a sample of the Twist, especially since so many comments have been made to her excellent dancing ability, but alas, she was evidently too shy. - agent_0042
(1) In the wake of the change to the opening animated titles and end credits for "WML?" effective with the previous episode, Kellogg's unveils its own change to its own opening sequence starting with tonight's show. This is Kellogg's fifth such variation since 1958.
(2) BAD PUN ALERT: After he identified the final contestant Luisa Bisbini's line of juggler, Bennett indulged in one of his more atrocious puns when he uttered the phrase "in a juggler vein." Bennett, of course, was making a pun based upon "jugular vein," one of the veins in the neck that carry blood from the head back to the heart. - W-B
WEENIE WATCH: Dorothy's incorrect guess that Al Ward worked for the zoo was her "one big weenie" for the evening. - Garrison Skunk
Casey Stengel was legendary for his showmanship as a player/coach/manager in baseball. While pondering what would happen if Stengel ever entered his own arena of show business, George Gobel once exclaimed, "If he ever went pro, he would put us all out of business!" Stengel gives us a small taste of his dramatic flair as he leaves the set after his segment. He gives a small turn and bow to the audience that any vaudevillian would be proud of! Casey is not only plugging his new book "Casey at the Bat," which was published by Random House, but is also promoting the beginning of the first disastrous season of the New York Mets, who were to win only 40 games all season, while losing 120. - exapno99
Bennett Cerf disqualified himself from Casey Stengel's game. Later, he explained that he is publishing Casey's book, and knew in advance of the appearance of this baseball legend who was the manager of the New York Mets. Casey's book was published by Random House in 1962, and was titled, "Casey at the Bat: The Story of My Life in Baseball." It was written by Casey Stengel (with Harry T. Paxton). - Suzanne

The Navy's war fleet arrives in Elliott Bay today and, as usual, Seattle's Peace Fleet will be there to greet them - at a distance. It's the annual Seafair standoff, in which the Navy displays its weapons to defend democracy while the U.S. Coast Guard enforces a 500-yard no-protest zone around Pier 66 to keep peaceful dissenters at bay.
He calls the the Seafair fleet arrival "a public relations and recruiting event" for the Navy. A violation of the safety zone by demonstrators buzzing the ships in their rubber boats could result in arrest and up to six years in jail and/or a $250,000 fine.
Longtime Seattle activist Glen Milner tells us that besides the Navy's 500-yard rule, demonstrators will likely again be prevented by the Port of Seattle from accessing the high-profile rooftop area of Pier 66, in further attempt to limit exposure of their protest to the public and media.
"It seems our 'defenders of freedom' do not much care for what freedom looks like when it is standing next to them," says Milner.
The government doesn't care much for Milner either. A 2010 Justice Department report revealed that the feds secretly investigated the Seattle peacenik and other U.S.activists over a five-year period, wasting what an inspector general said was time and money to determine if the activists were subversives.
The FBI also improperly retained information in its files on Milner and others and classified some acts of nonviolent civil disobedience as acts of terrorism.
But then Milner, who was SW's Best of Seattle "Best Citizen" last year after winning an important U.S. Supreme Court records battle with the feds, doesn't care much for the government either.
The Port, for one, has been actively trying to limit his group's demonstrations, spurring his interest in the Port's operations. In the past, he learned that a Port police officer, pretending to be a sympathizer, had attended one of his group's Seafair protest planning sessions. More recently he learned the Port had been giving away services to Seafair and the Navy for the fleet arrival, leading the state auditor to conclude the agency should charge the full amount for berthage rates while the ships are in Seattle.
In light of the Port's Seafair support, Milner says it seems hypocritical of the agency to oppose the proposed new SoDo sports arena, claiming it will increase traffic congestion and delay local commerce.
"Hundreds of hours are spent by Port of Seattle personnel for the Navy's largest military recruitment display in our region," he says, leading to increased traffic congestion, not to mention clogging up Elliott Bay and tying up scarce downtown resources.
"If the Port really wanted to free up operations for commerce," Milner says, "they would send the Navy fleet to Tacoma."

Let your young elephant enjoy the feeling of being this wonderful giant as you go out for trick-or-treating. If your elephant feels like munching on grass, bark, and roots along the way, allow it. It's Halloween, and it's time to pretend. And be sure to bring plenty of water -- about 40 gallons or so if that's not too much to carry. Your young elephant will easily drink all of it throughout the night.
- Includes: A hood with ears and a trunk and tusks. A three-piece set complete with zip-lined suit with bottom snaps and an attached tail, and booties with skid-resistant soles.
This cozy polyester suit slides easily on and off. Your infant or toddler will be so happy and comfortable being an elephant that it may be hard to get him or her to agree it's time to go back to being a human again. So be warned.
