Gibbon Launches A Different Kind Of Education Startup, With User-Generated Learning Playlists For All
There's a lot of terrific content on the web in the form of one-off blog posts and DIY guides from working designers and programmers, but the question is always how to find the best, and how to make sense of content that comes from a variety of disparate sources.

Qualcomm Unveils 64-Bit Chipset With Integrated LTE: Next Year's Moto G Could Have 4G
Qualcomm has just announced the Snapdragon 410 chipset series, which is Qualcomm's first announced processor to have 64-bit support, but it's actually more interesting because it aims to make integrated 4G LTE support a lot more affordable for device manufacturers. They plan to launch the 410 as a manufacturing sample by the first half of next year, which means it could be in… Read More
iPhone 5s Passes 10% Adoption; 5c Seeing Strong Uptake, Too, Compared To Past Launches
The iPhone 5s is doing pretty well in terms of sales numbers, and has just passed 10 percent usage rate among iPhone models according to mobile analytics firm Mixpanel.

NSA And Other Intelligence Agencies Got All Up In Your World Of Warcraft, Xbox Live
The next time you're looking to party with a dark elf Rogue in World of Warcraft, think twice: that could be an NSA agent in disguise. According to new documents from the Snowden leaks, both the NSA and the GCHQ employed World of Warcraft and Second Life, as well as Xbox Live, to gather intel and uncover plots – but it seems mostly they ended up just bumbling into one another… Read More

Square Teases Some Kind Of Announcement For Monday On Vine
Square has a cryptic teaser on Vine published today that suggests it'll show us… something on Monday. There's little about the short video that offers any clue about what could be revealed, except that it fits in a balled fist. But maybe it's conceptual, so it would technically "fit" anywhere. IT'S A MYSTERY. Read More

One-Button Electronic Camera Level Makes It Easy To Get The Horizon Right In Photos
A new Kickstarter project from New Zealand based entrepreneur Graham Manson makes it easy to level your camera before you shoot, no matter where you are, so that you don't have to level your photo or video afterwards with the help of editing software. It may seem like a fairly minor problem, but speaking as someone who has an almost supernatural inability to get the horizon line level… Read More
23andMe Ceases Health-Focused Gene Testing, Still Offers Raw Genetic Data And Ancestry Reports
After the Food and Drug Administration ordered that 23andMe suspend use of its at-home gene testing kits, based on the government organization's belief that it constitutes a medical device and thus requires further examination and testing before it can be provided for sale. 23andMe followed up to that bombshell with the news that it would be working with the FDA to try to resolve the… Read More

Google Still Lags In Mobile Cameras, But Android 4.1.1 Should Make Things Better For The Nexus 5
Google's Android OS has many venerable traits, but the camera isn't one of them. The software iterates with each release, but it doesn't ever get all that much better, and the hardware on Android devices seems to disappoint pretty consistently. People had high hopes for the Nexus 5 making things better, but photos barely improved versus the dismal Nexus 4. Read More

I have a problem with a new development site that I am setting up to troubleshoot a site. The URL is the same so there should be no problem with the tables and the site otherwise appears to work OK. I copied the old tree elsewhere, installed from the bottom up - new 3.2.1 install, with themes and plugins installed manually from zips etc.
When I go to the Dashboard, a few plugins need updating since I have copied older zips. Most of these update OK but Subscribe2 and Wordprees Importer, on updating, report the invalid header error, deactivate themselves and disappear although they are still in the plugins tree. I have seen this before.
I am puzzled by this as both are current plugins and known to work with 3.2.1 so it must be in the tables. The trouble is, knowing where to find them! Is the information stored in the
XX_options table? Or where and how does WP know which plugins (and themes) are available?
Could someone please direct me!

About Me
Be something good for the persons you meet!
When I was a kid I tried all the time (with quarter's friends) to invent magic things...
For example, I thought a very cheap way to fly.
I tell you.
I had a pen-friend from England. I sent her nice letters in coloured envelopes, where it was written 'by air mail'.
So, I thought to build a machine to resize me, making me small, small. I could be so small that I was able to enter in an envelope to send 'by air mail'...In this way, I could go to visit my friend, by mail... :-)
But, to tell the truth, I gave up on successful completion of this project because I was fear that the postman could lost the letter with me inside the envelope....:-(
To build the machine to resize people was not a problem. I can tell you how to do that,if you like. It is a scientific project...;-)
The morning of a summer day when I woke up I thought: today I want to see things from a different point of view, a bit higher than usual, somehow.
Thus,I took two long wooden poles and I built a pair of stilts. I spent the next days to learn to walk with them. After a while I did it and it was really amazing!
I could walk seeing everything from a height higher than three feet!
In a few days, all my friends in the neighbourhood built stilts as well and we were competing to see who could stay longer in this elevated position, without falling. That time we just have fun!
Probably when I grew up I became a researcher to play the same game, to see things in a different way and invent new good ones...
I recognize The European Charter for Researchers:
Researchers should focus their research for the good of mankind and for expanding the frontiers of scientific knowledge, while enjoying the freedom of thought and expression, and the freedom to identify methods by which problems are solved, according to recognised ethical principles and practices...
... These are my principles. And if you don't like them, I have others!
I love the breath of human feelings,too!
Be good and do positive things.

I like to play games.
Good friends are introducing new games. Dan° made me to know 'Bohnanza'; Raine and Emanuele gave me the opportunity to know 'Ticket to ride', 'Risiko',The Settlers of Catan...
I introduced them 'Saboteur' and 'Chrononauts'...
I like the game mechanics, in particular those concerning the role of personal choices and the role of luck. In the different games in various ways our personal strategies, group strategies involve different outcomes, as in life...and of course it is a nice way to spend time with good friends...

One Amazing Thing I've Done
I met a friend of mine in a library in Venice a day and the day after we met in a shop in Paris without any agreement, just by chance!
Since I was 7 years old, I decide sometimes to remember a moment for the rest of my life. I just say to myself: remember this!
This flashes of memories do not regard special moments of my life. It is easy to record them. They are fragments of living just for what life is in itself.
For istance I remember very well a moment of my life when I was 7 years old and I was just walking long the road covered by brown leaves, it was autumn. I was going to primary school...maybe I was an existentialist kid :-)
Teach, Learn, Share
I spent a large part of my life just studying ... so, I hope to have something interesting to tell you...
I feel a have a lot to learn especially from the life of the people I meet, with their personal world, each person is unrepeatable.
Countries I've Visited
Austria, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Poland, Spain, United Kingdom

Achievement guide
Single Player Achievements
Here are the single player achievements.. you can obtain these in either FPB or Standard Bomberman play. While it's true that there is no save feature in this game, getting to the end isn't as hard it seems. I was able to do it on my third try, and have beaten the game three times since then just for the heck of it.
If you are going to attempt it, make sure you allocate two hours game time. This is a Bomberman endurance test. ;) I suggest using Standard play. This way you can see the entire level at all times. Hearts are worth much more in Standard then they are in FPB mode and you will be getting plenty of those on your way to the end.
Make sure you try to get as many hearts and power-ups as you can in the beginning. Once you get to level 30, you should have Bombthru, Wallthru, Infinite Bomb and Linebomb. With that combination you can completely destroy any level in a matter of seconds. In the end you should have the following achievements:
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...8/0Tc8P2Ni.jpgClear Round 10!
You have cleared 10 screens in Single Battle mode.
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...8/0Tc8P2Ni.jpgClear Round 20!
You have cleared 20 screens in Single Battle mode.
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...8/0Tc8P2Ni.jpgClear Round 30!
You have cleared 30 screens in Single Battle mode.
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...8/0Tc8P2Ni.jpgClear Round 40!
You have cleared 40 screens in Single Battle mode.
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...8/0Tc8P2Ni.jpgClear Round 50!
You have cleared 50 screens in Single Battle mode.
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...8/0Tc8P2Ni.jpgClear Round 60!
You have cleared 60 screens in Single Battle mode.
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...8/0Tc8P2Ni.jpgClear Round 70!
You have cleared 70 screens in Single Battle mode.
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...8/0Tc8P2Ni.jpgClear Round 80!
You have cleared 80 screens in Single Battle mode.
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...8/0Tc8P2Ni.jpgClear Round 90!
You have cleared 90 screens in Single Battle mode.
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...8/1zc8P2Nl.jpgYou reached the Land of Despair
Single Battle mode is all clear! Get back to the surface!
You should also have the following Survival achievements:
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...8/1zc8P2Nk.jpgSurvival Time 200
You have cleared Single Battle mode within 200 minutes.
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...8/1zc8P2Nk.jpgSurvival Time 150
You have cleared Single Battle mode within 150 minutes.
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...8/1zc8P2Nk.jpgSurvival Time 100
You have cleared Single Battle mode within 100 minutes.
It should not take you more then 100 minutes to beat it. This is 100 in-game minutes, and does not account for load times in between levels.. which brings the actual game time much higher in real life. :(
General Bomberman Achievements
Here are some general achievements that you will obtain over time.. these account for both offline and online play:
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...8/1jc8P2Nh.jpg1,000 Bombs
You have set 1,000 bombs.
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...8/1jc8P2Nh.jpg10,000 Bombs
You have set 10,000 bombs.
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...8/1jc8P2Nh.jpg100,000 Bombs
You have set 100,000 bombs.
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...8/1jc8P2Nh.jpg1,000,000 Bombs
You have set 1,000,000 bombs.
Simple enough? Any time you place a bomb in the game, it will count towards this achievement. Getting Linebomb and Infinite Bomb power-ups together will make this much easier to obtain.
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...8/1Dc8P2Nh.jpgBlock Break 1,000
You Have Destroyed 1,000 Soft Blocks.
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...8/1Dc8P2Nh.jpgBlock Break 10,000
You Have Destroyed 10,000 Soft Blocks.
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...8/1Dc8P2Nh.jpgBlock Break 100,000
You Have Destroyed 100,000 Soft Blocks.
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...8/1Dc8P2Nh.jpgBlock Break 1,000,000
You Have Destroyed 1,000,000 Soft Blocks.
Like the bomb achievements, any time you break a soft block it will count towards these. The number one hardest acheivement in Act Zero is Block Break 1,000,000. Doing this would take years of grinding the game, because there are only so many soft blocks per level and you cannot create more with power-ups like you can for the bomb achievements. No one in the world has this achievement yet.
Kill Achievements
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...8/0jc8P2Nh.jpgKill 100
You have defeated 100 opponents.
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...8/0jc8P2Nh.jpgKill 500
You have defeated 500 opponents.
Kill 1000
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...8/0jc8P2Nh.jpgYou have defeated 1000 opponents.
For these, you have to kill people online with your own bomb. You must get the kill, and if an opponent kills himseft by a pressure block or his own bomb it will not count.
Battle and Room Achievements
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...8/0Tc8P2Nh.jpgBattle 100
You have had 100 battles.
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...8/0Tc8P2Nh.jpgBattle 1000
You have had 1000 battles.
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...8/0Tc8P2Nh.jpgBattle 10,000
You have had 10,000 battles.
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...8/1zc8P2Nh.jpgRoom Master
You have created a room and fought a battle.
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...8/1zc8P2Nh.jpgRoom Master 10
You have created rooms and fought 10 battles.
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...8/1zc8P2Nh.jpgRoom Master 100
You have created rooms and fought 100 battles.
These are also pretty simple to understand.. you just have to join a room or create a room to get these. If a match is mutliple rounds, all of the rounds only count for one battle.. so host Battle Royal (1 match) rooms to get these achievements faster.
Battle Score Achievements
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...8/0Dc8P2Nh.jpgBattle Score 5,000
You have reached a Battle Score of 5,000 points.
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...8/0Dc8P2Nh.jpgBattle Score 10,000
You have reached a Battle Score of 10,000 points.
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...8/0Dc8P2Nh.jpgBattle Score 50,000
You have reached a Battle Score of 50,000 points.
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...8/0Dc8P2Nh.jpgBattle Score 100,000
You have reached a Battle Score of 100,000 points.
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...8/0Dc8P2Nh.jpgBattle Score 1,000,000
You have reached a Battle Score of 1,000,000 points.
Another simple one, this is your ranked score. Raise your score and you'll get these in time. Try Battle Royal matches, you get more points for the more people you kill in a row!
Battle Royal Achievements
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...8/0jc8P2Ni.jpgBattle Royal - Kill 10
You have defeated 10 people in Battle Royal.
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...8/0jc8P2Ni.jpgBattle Royal - Kill 30
You have defeated 30 people in Battle Royal.

You have defeated 50 people in Battle Royal.
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...8/0jc8P2Ni.jpgBattle Royal - Kill 100
You have defeated 100 people in Battle Royal.
You get these by both killing people and winning Battle Royal matches in a row. Every person you kill in a Battle Royal goes towards this total (which you can see next to your name as you play the match) but if you get killed even once while in a Battle Royal.. the number will reset. This makes them very difficult to obtain legitimately.

Special Achievements
Obtain these easily by forfilling certain criteria..
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...8/1zc8P2Ni.jpgSpecial 1
You have won without obtaining any Power Up Panels.
I was able to do it on my first online match. Sometimes your opponent will kill themselves immediately by accident. It happens!. Avoid power-ups by exploding them with bombs.
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...8/1zc8P2Ni.jpgSpecial 2
You have played with both male and female frames.
You have to play both male and female Bomberman avatars at some point for this one.
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...8/1zc8P2Ni.jpgSpecial 3
You have played using all of the characters.
You have to play both gender and all the color variations of each Bomberman avatar.
Joke Achievements
Here are some achievements that were originally designed for you to avoid, but since they give you 5 points each, many people don't mind getting them. ;)
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i.../1zc8P2Nlm.jpgPressure Block 100
You have been crushed to death 100 times by pressure blocks.
Simple enough, just get killed by pressure blocks while online.
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i.../1zc8P2Nlm.jpgSelf 100
You have died 100 times to bombs you set.
Explode yourself with your own bomb for this one. Anyone who plays enough will obtain it eventually.
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i.../1zc8P2Nlm.jpgDraw 100
You have died 100 times to time-up draws.
Don't be fooled by the name of this one, you will not get the achievement by drawing matches. You actually need a time-up draw, which are rare because the only way to get a time-up is to play a room without pressure blocks. Battles without pressure blocks can be very long, tedious matches.. so many people opt not to create rooms that way.
If you do create a room without pressure blocks, wait until the timer reaches zero in the room and a voice will say "Time's Up!" then the match will restart. Do this 100 times for the achievement.
AND A SPECIAL THANKS TO ( G.T. Kaens ) FOR THE IMAGE'S ON THE SECRET PANEL'S
This guide was written by BANSTYLE and Edited with permisson by BTHR Zero X
with image content from www.xbox360achivments.org and other image content
submitted by Keans Thanks to everyone for their help
I'll be cool and add in the pics..
So now you know what to look for.
Very good guide I'm gonna try it out later to find the secret panels. :woop:
How long does it take to obtaine the achievements...?
does anyone know an easy way to get the Secret panel- 16 shot?
Kaens thanks for the images i dont know how to do it or i would but thank you
Looks like you forgot one achievement. You've listed 49 and there are 50 achievements for this game. If I am not mistaken you didn't list the "Battle 10,000"
The secret 4 panel can be done pretty damned easily, actually. I got it done on accident before almost any other achievements. First time I got to 11 I think. Anyway, if you have a few bomb powerups, Line Bomb and remote detonate, get to a place where you have a few long rows completely open, set a few line bombs in a row, and then tap b faster than the explosion can catch the bombs. This is how I did it, I got the power up, and had 300+ health by the end of the level.
BTW Thanks for the post I'll have to go back and work on getting those other ones.
Now its finally finsihed to perfection hard work paid off
Job well done!
I was going to rent this game but after seeing the descriptions I dont think that I want my gamer % to take the hit. Also no local multiplayer and no saves also adds to my caution. Good job though on the guide, but I still think that Chromehounds is #1 in difficulty since no amount of time will get you highest rank in the world
Greetings. My name's Banstyle, and I wrote the guide above. It is reproduced by BTHR with permission.
I saw the guide officially on the site here..
I am not credited on site. Is it possible to get a credit for it?
Thanks guys. ;)
All has been fixed. Thank you x360a and BTHR for the quick action. :)
this game is truly a dissapointment
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...8/1jc8P2Nh.jpg http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...8/0Tc8P2Nh.jpg http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...8/1Dc8P2Nh.jpg
Bombs + Battles + Blocks
You need 2 copies + 2 live gold accounts. You + You or You + Friend, etc.
Create a game with more than 1 round (Just in case you blow yourself up), no pressure blocks with gametime 2:30 min.
Now, what you need to do is for the battles, just leave it be. It takes less than 48 hours pr 1000th match.
Next, you can get the bombs done here also. You need infinibomb and about 3-4x speed multiplier. Avoid picking up explosive enhancements since this will make it unsafe for you.
Now clear out the area for soft blocks so you can run in a large square spamming bombs..
You can actually keep the bombs exploding in an infinite chain reaction for about 2 minutes. It's quite fun actually.
Just DON'T kill yourself or your partner, then everything should work out.
Also, if you'd like to do the bombs/blocks adjust the game time to anything you see fit. I used the 2:30 min gametime because I was going for the 10.000 matches played.
lol this has to be the worst game they have ever created why not keep the game in its original format aswell as with the original characters you know it makes sense and to be fair the acheivements that ya get arent much better lol quite a dirty game really lol but meh lol
great guide tho :)
nice guide... still this game is just playing it by itself and you will get all achievements eventually
very nice guide will use
this was so helpful thanks for all your hard work.
Great work.. on this.. unfortunatly I and a few brave others have undertaken the insane task of 1king this game.. though the prospect doesn't look to good at about the 1million bombs/blocks mark.
Nice, Good Work.

City issues permit, asphalt plant underway
Despite continuing questions regarding the official zoning status of a Munsford Drive property, the Memphis-based asphalt Company, Lehman-Roberts Asphalt Paving Co. has begun construction on its prospective New Albany plant.
According to New Albany Building/Zoning Inspector Mike Armstrong, a building permit was issued to the company on June 5, following consultation with New Albany City Attorney Bobby Carter.
"They came in and wanted it," Armstrong said. "As far as the city's concerned, the land is zoned industrial and they're legally able to build. I was obligated to issue a permit to them."
"We really had no basis to deny it," New Albany City Attorney Bobby Carter said regarding the permit's issuance. "To deny it could be considered actionable by [Lehman-Roberts]."
The issue over the construction of an asphalt plant at 1305 Munsford Dr., currently owned by Riverside Traffic Systems, Inc. – a company owned by Booker Farr – has been one of much debate since October of 2007. Following several public meetings with the asphalt plant, as well as city officials, several neighboring residents filed a lawsuit in November to block the construction of the plant.
The basis of the plaintiffs' claims were that, according to the city's own ordinances, the 30-acre piece of property has never officially been zoned industrial, but is in fact zoned as agricultural land. Though the city's official zoning map shows the property to be industrial, there is no evidence in the form of board minutes or legal notice to suggest that the board of aldermen ever officially adopted a zoning change for the property, the plaintiffs argue. Such evidence is required, according to state law and city ordinances. Therefore, Lehman Roberts would have no legal standing for constructing a plant on the site.
The city's official stance, however, has been that, according to state law, the official zoning map supercedes any board minutes and, therefore, the property is legally zoned industrial.
The plaintiffs in the case filed a request for re-zoning of the property from industrial to agricultural with the city's zoning commission in late June. Though they contend that their request is to correct the property's official zoning status, city ordinances and state law required them to follow this procedure and the board of aldermen set a public hearing for Aug. 5, 2008 regarding the matter.
Attorney Bill Rutledge, who represents the plaintiffs in the case, said he and his clients only learned of the building permit issuance on Friday.
"We just found out about it," Rutledge said Monday. "We have some concern about it, considering the issue is still unresolved."
Questions regarding the property's current zoning date back to 1996 when, according to statements made by New Albany City Attorney Bobby Carter, the property, along with land owned by Phil Morris, was changed from agricultural to industrial by the board of aldermen. At that time, the property currently owned by Riverside Traffic Systems was, in fact, owned by M. Allen Jackson, Jr., Robert Bostwick III and New Albany City Attorney Bobby Carter himself. The property was later annexed by the city of New Albany in 2001 and, at the city's approval, Bridge and Slaughter, an Oxford-based urban planning firm, redrew the zoning map, which reflected the property as being zoned industrial, even though no official evidence of a change in the land's zoning status has ever been found.
Bostwick, also a plaintiff in the case, said Monday that he, Jackson and New Albany City Attorney Bobby Carter had owned the land previously.
"It's not a secret," Bostwick said. "We testified to it in our depositions."
Because depositions themselves are not open to the public, however, New Albany City Attorney Bobby Carter's prior co-ownership of the land has never been discussed in the public forum in regard to the possible appearance of conflict of interest – a normal procedure.
Statements made by Bostwick at a Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality hearing on the topic of the asphalt plant in early December of last year, reflect that he believed the property he, Jackson and New Albany City Attorney Bobby Carter owned and sold to Farr in 1999, was still zoned agricultural at the time of sale.
"I own the land, I guess, to the west of this 29 acres," said Bostwick. "The land that I own is zoned agricultural exactly going up to this 29 acres. I sold this land to Mr. Farr. It was zoned agricultural when it was zoned. To my knowledge, it has never been rezoned. I think we've got a zoning problem."
New Albany City Attorney Bobby Carter is also co-owner of the property adjacent to the land in question, along with Bostwick.
Farr stated that he checked the land's zoning status before selling it.
"What it was I was going to move my business out there to the property," Farr said. 'Then I learned that the property I was renting was for sale and then I didn't need that property any more. So I asked my wife, a real estate agent, to list it for sale and she said I needed to know how it was zoned. I checked with Mike Armstrong and he told me it was zoned industrial."
Farr went on to say that he had other inquiries into the purchase of the land after he had checked on the zoning status, but, because it was zoned industrial, the interested parties did not pursue the matter.
The case went before Chancery Court Judge Michael Malski in late April, but was subsequently thrown over to Circuit Court.
In a statement regarding his decision, Malski wrote, "the Chancery Court lacks jurisdiction to hear this zoning dispute against the city of New Albany even if all parties agreed it could."
He went on to say that the relief sought in the suit should be appealed before the New Albany Board of Aldermen.
Booker Farr's attorney, Rhett Wise, requested that the public hearing regarding the property's zoning change be postponed to Sept. 30, 2008, which was tentatively agreed to by lawyers for all parties involved. However, the public hearing remains officially scheduled for Aug. 5, according to City Clerk Anne Neal and no legal notice regarding a change in a hearing date has been submitted to the New Albany Gazette.
The three attorneys involved came to me and requested a change in the date," New Albany City Attorney Bobby Carter said. "I had advised the mayor and the board of aldermen about the request. I have not confirmed the date of Sept. 30, but I will today [Tuesday]. We will accommodate everyone as best as we can."

President Obama needs to offer an explanation and apology for the big lie. Or should it be the big oversimplification? Doesn't much matter, same difference.
"And if you like your insurance plan, you will keep it. No one will be able to take that away from you," President Obama told a crowd in Portland, Maine, in April 2010. He repeated the contention often.
Hasn't turned out that way. And, according to a Washington Post "fact checker" analysis, the administration had to know the president's pledge would go unfilled. They recently gave the president's assertion "four Pinocchios," its worst rating, reserved for a "whopper" of a political lie.
What would have been true is the president explaining that, with few exceptions, those Americans with employer or government plans - about 80 percent of the insured - would keep their insurance policies.
For the estimated 19 million people with individual insurance coverage, the story is different. To keep the costs down, many of these individual plans do not include the "essential benefits" now mandated by the Affordable Care Act. These include treatment for mental health and substance use disorders; rehabilitative services; laboratory services; and maternity and newborn care.
Now many of the policy holders - the magnitude remains unclear but could be huge - are learning their bare-bones plans are being canceled and the alternatives, with all the mandated trimmings, will be far more expensive.
Exacerbating the situation is the continued problems with the health exchanges, making it difficult for these individuals to figure out what alternatives they have. Some will qualify for Medicaid coverage under the new ACA income rules, but that won't help the millions living in states where, for obstinate political reasons, conservative leaders have refused to expand Medicaid programs.
While this provides an opportunity for Republicans to give President Obama a well-deserved roasting and score political points, what the nation and these folks really need are solutions. Congress and the White House should figure out a way to keep these individuals in their insurance plans if they so choose, or make the alternative plans more affordable.
The problem is that such a solution would require amending the Affordable Care Act and Republicans only want to keep talking about repealing it.

Based on extensive ethnographic research in a public SM (sadomasochism) community, this paper frames SM as recreation. Drawing on Robert Stebbins' work on "serious leisure" (1982), I posit that in order to more adequately understand SM as it occurs in this community, we need to shift from mainstream assumptions of SM as (simply) "kinky sex" to a more nuanced perspective. I explore the unique skills required in order to engage in SM, as well as the benefits and rewards that participants derive from it, in order to illustrate that SM can be more usefully understood as serious leisure.

Retailing Today will be closed for Christmas, Dec. 24 through Dec. 26, and will publish again on Monday, Dec. 29. The editor and publisher of Retailing Today would like to wish you and your families very best wishes for a happy, healthy and joyous holiday.
Cheers, Mike Troy Editor, Retailing Today
The 2014 holiday shopping season will be characterized by cautious spending, while economic realities create one of two American holiday shoppers — survivalists and selectionists — according to a new report from PricewaterhouseCoopers U.S. and Strategy, titled "2014 Holiday Outlook: Top trends, consumer behaviors and implications for retailers."
Toys "R" Us is resorting a familiar tactic and keeping its doors open from 6 a.m. Saturday, Dec. 21 through 9 p.m. Christmas Eve to drive last-minute holiday shoppers into its stores.

Garrison Keillor and his brush with mortality
Garrison Keillor, one of Minnesota's most-loved storytellers and host of "A Prairie Home Companion," had a brush with mortality and lived to tell the tale. The "nice 67 Y.O. male" as he describes himself (based on the notes by an ER doctor), thought he was still an edgy 20-something on the inside, but a minor stroke last week had him reconsidering our common humanity and the fragility of life.
From his column at Salon:
I stayed at St. Mary's for four days of tests and when I left, a neurologist shook my hand and said: "I hope you know how lucky you are."
You had intended to be a natural wonder, an old guy who still runs the high hurdles, but mortality has bitten you in the butt.
Keillor apparently drove himself to a St. Paul hospital (bad idea, folks! Call 911) where he was immediately admitted and then transferred down to Rochester for additional treatment.
He details his hospital stay: the attractive young ladies who cared for him, the IV drips, the gurney rides from one test to the next.
And that is a gift to the man who has been struck by a stroke: our common humanity... Two weeks ago, you were waltzing around feeling young and attractive, and now you are the object of Get Well cards and recipient of bouquets of carnations. Rich or poor, young or old, we all face the injustice of life -- it ends too soon, and statistical probability is no comfort.
It's a poignant and amazingly timed piece on his stroke and the future of the nation's health care. Couldn't sum it up well enough, so make sure you actually read it for yourself.

I suppose I am becoming blase. I and a friend Yinka arrived New York from Pittsburgh and needed a hotel room for a night before we headed out to Heathrow via JFK in the morning. We also wanted to indulge in the culture that is Times Square. Everything about the hotel was narrow, the rooms, the elevator, the restaurant, even the lounge. Felt claustrophobic. Maybe if even the rooms were bigger, it would have been a better experience.

I'm using theme 1414 from template monster.
On my homepage, the titles within my About section, are also seen below the slider with numbered blue circles. Since my logo has red in it, I'd like to tie in more red on the site. I found the circle image in the images folder and duplicated it before re-colorizing it in photoshop. After searching all of the code in the editor, I cannot located the image url to change it. Any ideas of how to make this happen? Thank you!

From Our Editors
A former gymnast and collegiate diver suffering from a stress fracture in her lower back, Cassidy Farwell sought a total-body workout that would strengthen her core and alleviate her lower back pain. Around the same time, all-around fitness enthusiast Syd Shelton became curious about Pilates's growing popularity, and took her first class. Though they sought out Pilates for very different reasons, it made such an impact on them that they decided to open their own studio together to share the total-body toning techniques with others. As certified instructors, Cassidy and Syd now lead classes designed to tone the body from head to toe, with emphasis on strengthening the hips, thighs, core, and vestigial tail.

John Wall and Coach Calipari can't wait to hear what Joe has to say, either.
As you may remember, ESPN.com has a Tournament Challenge, which involves filling out an NCAA bracket for a chance to win $10,000 (not by random drawing but by, you know, having the closest bracket). And as you may remember, Joe Taylor won said challenge last year.
Well, as we here at SportsCenter.com started filling out our own brackets, we thought, "who better to ask for advice than Joe?" So we had a little chat with him. Actually, it was less of a chat and more of an e-mail conversation, as Joe is on vacation. Such is the life of the Tournament Challenge winner.
Lucky for you, we're sharing his advice. So check it out. Then hurry and fill out your bracket. And before you say, "oh, I never win those things," just know, Joe himself says he'd done "OK" with brackets before but he'd never done as well as last year. So, don't sell yourself short. Anyway, on to the questions.
SportsCenter.com: What are your "Bracket Rules to Live By"?
Big Bracket Joe (we made that nickname up just now. Nice, right?): Rule #1: Don't pick with your heart (unless you really believe your team can win it all like with me last year) Rule #2: A 12 seed will beat a 5 seed, that is something anyone who picks brackets knows. Rule #3: All #1 seeds will not make the final 4.
Good advice (as we toss our Wake Forest takes it all bracket in the trash). It's also worth noting that Joe's favorite team is North Carolina, who he correctly picked to win it all last year. And for those of you who are wondering, he did not fill out an NIT bracket this season.
SCDC: Where should we look for an upset this year?
BBJ: This year is wide open but I would look in the South bracket. Every year when they say someone has the easy way to the Final Four that #1 seed never gets there. I like Texas A&M (why, I don't know, so they will lose in the first round).
You like A&M so they'll lose in the first round? Sorry BBJ, the self-deprecating card is a hard one to play when you're known as "they guy who won the bracket." We're taking them … .
SCDC: If you had to have one ESPN personality pick your bracket for you, who would it be?
BBJ: I would say none of them, they [usually] take the obvious. Even though, I hate to say, I like Jay B (yeah, a Duke grad). He tries not to be [biased].
That's college basketball analyst Jay Bilas, for those of you who aren't on a one-initial basis.
SCDC: What do you look for in a Cinderella?
BBJ: Look for a smaller conference team that plays a different style from a major conference team — you don't get enough time to prepare for them. I really don't see a seed lower than a #6 to get past the Sweet 16, so I don't see Cinderella get far this year (like the year George Mason got to the Final 4).
Also known as the only year "George Mason" became a Google search trend.
SCDC: Lots of people enter multiple NCAA pools. Do you recommend filling out the same bracket for every pool or filling out a different bracket for each pool?
BBJ: I used to fill out different brackets for each pool but I didn't realize the flak for filling out multiple brackets, so from here on out I only fill out one bracket. If you win, then you don't have to hear the field talk bad about you, even though that will happen no matter what.
Wow. We never knew bracket winners took such flak.
SCDC: In a cat vs. dog mascot match-up (say the Kentucky Wildcats were playing the Butler Bulldogs) you should always take the dog, right?
BBJ: The cat vs. dog thing means nothing because if Butler played Kentucky you would take Kentucky, so I don't believe in that.
As you can see, Joe takes his bracket very seriously. As should you. We, on the other hand, have a weakness for dogs. Maybe that's why we've never won … .
SCDC: What matters more in a total tossup matchup? Team seed, team uniform color, or famous alumni?
BBJ: The seed is probably the best to use out of these, a team can seem like they have the advantage, but if they are a 12 vs. 5 that can sway your thinking.
So you're saying Ashley Judd is useless?
SCDC: Which #1 or #2 seed will fall soonest this year?
BBJ: Villanova or West Virginia (not picking on the Big East, Big East fans) only because of the match-ups they could have.
Don't worry, Big East fans. Just because Joe says it doesn't mean it's true. Or does it? (cue scary music here)
SCDC: Best person to go to for tossup matchup advice: significant other, co-worker, 5-year-old, sports analyst, grandmother … .
BBJ: Sports analyst. It's their job to do more research than the average person. That does not mean they will be right though.
No it does not. You hear that, Andy Katz! You hold no power over us! But seriously, who do you have in the Final Four, Andy? Who?
SCDC: When you know your team's not going to win it all one year, what's the deepest in the bracket you'll let allegiance take you?
BBJ: It depends on who they are playing. If they don't have a good match-up in the Sweet 16 I will pick against them. Allegiance will not help you win, again that is rule #1.
And so we've come full circle. So this is the perfect opportunity to thank Joe profusely and wish the rest of you all a very happy bracket filling.

by Kathleen Tierney
June 9, 2014
This sequel to Blood Oranges does not disappoint! Quinn (don't ever call her Siobhan) is still the same in-your-face cantankerous werewolf/vampire who can't seem to untangle herself from Mean Mr. B's dirty work. She is developing a persona not unlike Sam Spade and other hard boiled detectives: super cynical and an easy mark for a femme fatale. Quinn has also begun to advocate for her own interests and this is making her even more dangerous. Author Caitlin Kiernan (writing as Kathleen Tierney) successfully plays with mise en abyme (a literary device of inserting a short story within a story), adding a new level of complexity to the plot. The Maltese falcon has been replaced with something a little kinkier and powerful. My only complaint? Book 3 can't come fast enough!

About this font family
Linotype Killer is part of the Take Type Library, selected from the contestants of Linotype's International Digital Type Design Contests from 1994 and 1997. Designed by German artist Andre Nossek, the font seems to describe the Technosound of the 1990s with its electronically produced sights and sounds. It represents repetition, mass production and conformity. The alphabet consists exclusively of capital letters, all based on a rectangular form, all of the same height, and, with the exception of the I', all of the same width. The cool and distant Linotype Killer is best suited to short headlines.
