being confined indefinitely in your home and being sick and tired of everyone and it's contents and yearning to bolt from the structure.
After spending two weeks inside my house due to a broken fibula, a snow storm hit the city hard. As a result, people are being forced to stay in their homes and off the roads and further citing, it could be days before anyone gets out. A major case of houseosis has begun set in.

Nothin much to tell. Wife. Mom. Daughter. Teacher. Students. Closet Twilight fan fiction addict who might actually leave her husband if Carlisle were real and single--even though he's a bit old for me. I try not to date guys over 250, but for him I'd make an exception.
Sequel to Deliver Me From Evil. After Bella's ex-boyfriend is dealt with by Edward, she must now face the difficult decision of becoming a vampire. And complicating her decision even more is her three-year old son, Ben. Also, Bella is having some doubts about this decision, so how will she know what she truly wants? And is what she desires what is best for her and her son?
A huge thanks to Edward143Bella for the fantastic banner!
I couldn't imagine leaving my child, but I guess Bella will be with him forever.
Personally, I couldn't either. But Bella is blinded by Edward and that is all she can think about. I hope you will find Ben's reaction to her absence as believable because he is not the perfect child, as you will find out. There will be prices paid for her decision. Thank you so much for reading and reviewig!
I'm torn. I want Bella and Edward together forever, and I wouldn't want to be much older--but I wouldn't want to leave my child either.
Author's Response:
Personally I feel the same as you do, and it has been a challenge for me to write this, because I want to smack Bella upside the head. But, to stay true to what I think she would do, I am soldiering on with the plot, and I am finding it interesting getting in her head with her being a mother. She hasn't taken this decision lightly, but she hasn't chosen what I think we would have all decided, either. Then again, if I were faced with Edward... LOL. Nah, I couldn't leave my kids for anything. Thanks so much for your thoughts on this! I always enjoy reading your reviews! :)

Edward's father, the Duke of Devonshire, dies leaving very specific conditions on his will. In order to take possession of his inheritance Edward must marry a woman with a title.
Lady Isabella Swan, daughter of the Earl of Bridgewater is facing serious monetary problems after her father's death. All she has to her name is her title and the house she and her mother inhabit. She's desperate to find a solution to her problems which comes in the form of Edward's marriage proposal. Set in England, 1850.
Banner made by me :)
I'm very much looking forward to more!
Tragedy and heartbreak have met Bella and Edward at every turn. Now madly in love and ready to start their lives, everything is looking up. Little do they know the worst is yet to come. A/H M B&E
SO sad but beautifully written.
Thank you Salix Caprea for the wonderful banner!
This is the sequel to How to Win Back the Love of Your Existence. It's been nearly two years since we last saw Bella and Edward. As you may remember, at that time, Bella had just accepted Edward's marriage proposal under the condition they would have a long engagement. The proverbial honeymoon period of their relationship is coming to an end and with that, some deep seated problems with their relationship are starting to surface. Edward has a hard time telling Bella no--even when he should. Throw in some of those other things that all couples have to get over, i.e. jealousy inducing admirers, differing tastes in music and politics, horny bisexual friends, and a fight for dominance in the bedroom, and you have the background in which Edward is going to have to figure out HOW TO GET YOUR BALLS BACK. And of course all of the Cullens will be there to help him find his way. EPOV.
Many times I think Edward overreacts. This isn't one of them.
Edward was wise to protect his balls. LOL
I don't blame Edward for being angry, and I'm glad you make your Bella and Edward a little less perfect.
The Emmett? LOL However, I know a lot of girls who'd be all over that--literally and figuratively!
Go on and send your drunken sis. I teach at a public school--nothing scares me. :o)
Funny, especially swearing Carlisle. There's something about a hot vampire doctor with a potty mouth that melts my butter. Mmmm...
Uh oh. Most girls really don't like walking in on their men doing that. I'm interested in seeing what they have to say about that.
Bella Swan moved to Forks, Washington, to teach at the small Quilleute Indian Reservation in La Push. Despite recovering from a broken heart, she enters into a turbulent and passionate relationship with the mysteriously artistic Jacob Black. Race relations between the towns, Jacob's past, and Bella's former lover, Edward, complicate their relationship, but in the end is he exactly what she always needed?
Very enjoyable first chapter. You're laying a foundation for a good story. I look forward to more.
A one shot look into Rosalie's mind as she thinks about Nessie and Bella.
There is a feeling of desperation associated with desiring something so basic and elemental as motherhood when you can't have it. I can relate to Rosalie's feelings and think you did a great job showing them.
Every time the Cullen's move they must change their names and assume a new identity. This is Alice's view of who she really is, and who she will always be in her heart.
One- shot. Alice's POV. Alice/Jasper.
Validation Beta: nowforruin
I am a huge Alice fan, so I am grateful for the excellent character study on her.
What happens when Emmett and Rosalie decide to take part in the school play?
I didn't expect Emmett to kill her. I guess she deserved it, but remind me not to make him mad. Great job!
On Bella's first day of college, she's seated next to mirror image of her dead mother. In her quest to find out the truth behind the resemblance, she's drawn into a world she never knew existed
I wasn't sure what to expect, but I really like it. It's different and very good.
Thanks, I am going for different, and it is nice to hear that I am on a very good path...
I figured Edward wasn't Bella's father, but I still can't piece it all together. I'm eagerly awaiting the next chapter.
Next chapter is up, you will be able to read it soon, thanks for the feedback...
I am very much looking forward to putting all the pieces together. I'm still a little muddled: is Bella Edward's daughter or did he just happen to be there when she was born? I can't wait to find out!
I am very much looking forward to the feedback when it all comes together. What is muddy will become clear...
No, no! Don't let them take your computer! I'm still a little muddled as to who's who, but I think that's me and not you.
I am happy to say that my computer is still in my possesion, although very sick with a virus. Who are you muddled about, I'll be happy to answer if I can. Thanks for the feedback. I will be updating within 7 days. Let me know what you think...
What an interesting start! I am eager to read more.
Thanks. I just uploaded the next chapter, here is the first line.
Things became creepier when a man with dark copper brown hair came into the classroom and sat beside the statuesque flaxen female.
I knew who it was, of course, but I'm very interested in seeing exactly what happened.
Are you a mind reader, also. If so, I would love to have a conversation with you, thanks for the feedback...
I don't think Carlisle was too harse on Edward. He's got to be responsible for how he treats Kate.
You should get an email with a teaser; let me know if you don't. Thanks...
To the outside world, it would seem as if Bella Black has everything. On what should have been a blissful evening, her life turns upside down and falls apart. As doctors race to find a way to fix the hole in her daughter's heart, can Edward Cullen fix the hole in Bella's?
I love the interaction with all the Cullens. Keep it up!
Coming soon to a website near you...chapter 3 has plenty of interaction among the Cullen's. And a re-introduction (it's about damn time!) between Bella and Edward. Thanks so much for giving this story a chance Victoria, it's nice to see you again!
Engaging first chapter. I normally don't read fics where Edward or Bella are married to other people, but yours is worth a try.
Thanks so much Victoria. Your words are very encouraging and I appreciate you giving my little story a try.
I wish Bella would open her eyes, but then it would be a really short story. :o) Oh, and Jake should be run over by a truck for deserting Bella and Tansy.
Jake run over by a truck huh? That could be arranged...lol. We aren't through with poor Jacob yet. Thanks so much for staying with my stories Victoria! It means a lot to me that you spend the time to review!
Your Jacob is such a tool. You make him easy to hate. The family interaction was sweet. :o)
Hey Victoria! I can think of a few more, much more disgusting names to call him but I can't type them in good company. lol. Lots more family interaction to come. lots of drama too. But always a happily ever after. Thanks so much for taking the time to read and leave a review for me.

The review:
This set is the follow-up to the massively popular Forbidden Island, that was released in the virgin year of the Lego Pirates - 1989
Two years later, in 1991, the now succesful Lego Pirates, with Redbeard as their leader, thought it necessary to build an island big enough, to house all of their loot, and even park their beauty of a ship - the Black Seas Barracuda.
Rock Island Refuge, is in my opinion the perfect hideout for the swashbuckling swashbucklers of the Caribbean seas...
I'll show you why
Let's start with the manual:
This is a random page - and I would like to say that RIR is a bit difficult for younger Lego fans to build - but that does not make the set a bad investment, because the kids should be able to build it, by concentrating a bit - which is a good and important thing to master; concentration...
The many accessories
Flags, and a rare blue and white sail:
Shark, canon, treasure chest w. gold, and a barrel w. a sword
Weapons, animals, treasure map, and oars:
This set has many nice accessories, but one of the best things, is the red rowing boat with the blue sail. Further more you get a raft, which can transport loot from a pirate ship onto the dock of the Rock Island Refuge.
Let's take a closer look at those two:
The magnificent rowing boat:
I've played around with photoshop for this review - I borrowed some of the CG Backgrounds from classic-pirates.com
The raft:
This set comes with a bunch of pirates and two imperial soldiers:
Four men, and one woman - she has to be tough to keep up with these guys...
Whoa!! They are ready to fight for their belongings.
I think that 7 minifigs is a great number of minifigs for this kind of set. We are always begging for a lot of minifigs, and to get seven all at once is great.
On to the actual Island:
The baseplate is similar to the 1989 Eldorado Fortress, only this one has green rocks instead of grey rocks.
This set is also a bit larger than the Eldorado Fortress, because it has the extra blue plate.
Here are some pictures of the set in its entirety:
What a great island - it is a revamping of the Forbidden Island - the design is similar, with a lot of palm tree leaves, the black castle walls, the suspension bridges, the prison cells, and the grey stairs etc. etc.
Here are some pictures of the details on the island - i.e. the prison cell, the treasure hold, the suspension bridges, the crane tower, the dock, the stairs etc. etc.
The prison cell:
The suspension bridges:
The crane tower:
further down, where you can see the dock:
The dock:
The cannon:
The treasure hold:
Uhh... why is there no floor to the side of that hatch?
This be the last picture in this review, arrrr:
I loved to build this set, and I love that you get 7 minifigs, a rowing boat with a sail, and a raft, with this set.
The two soldiers are great for armybuilding, and you get a woman pirate, which is always a nice change.
On to my verdict!
Design: 9/10 - I've always loved the classic pirate line, before TLG changed it into Islander themes, and Armada stuff
This right here is perfect! almost... why is there such a large hole on top of the treasure hold? The designers should have made something there. After all, this is quite a large set.
Playability: 10/10 - you get so much playability with this set. Two soldiers and their rowing boat, a raft, a dock, a treasure hold/dungeon, a prison cell, a firing canon... 7 seven minifigs! The possibilities are endless, and if you have ship, you can park it at this island and then you get even more out of this set. Perfect!
Parts: 10/10 there are a large number of great parts to this set. Two suspension bridges, some stairs, the baseplate, the extra blue plate, the palm tree leaves, the two boat riggings, the rare blue and white sail with the small rowing boat mast, the rowing boat, all the black castle walls, a canon - I could keep on going...
Price: 10/10 - I think $66 back then was a fair price, especially compared to what you get. Just look at the parts,the playability and the amount of minifigs.
I hope you enjoyed my second Pictorial review (Skull's Eye Schooner being the first) - let me know if I'm missing something, or if there are some pictures you would like to see. Unfortunately, I don't have the box :(

Almost a year to date a second location received it's second machines. The fact that it took almost 1 year to receive half my order should have been a red flag. 2 weeks later I found a buyer for my other 2 machines. All the while Mark insisted on problems withe manufacturer, shipping errors, unreceived emails and the such. Finally after my buyer of the 2 machines had not received his email from me, he pressed charges and a detective brought me in for questioning. I had to refund my buyer his money as to not receive criminal charges.
Mark finally told me that he was just an employee of the company and Mr. Klein would be contacting me to arrange a refund. All of this is done over text as the company would not ever answer their phone or return my messages.
Mr. Kelin agreed to send me a refund and said it would be in the mail. 2 weeks go by and I finally recieved a check (which was sent out "2day mail" as Mr. Klein had informed me) the check was not for the full refund of $5,750 as was agreed upon but only $800. I deposited the check and it was returned to me from my back account due to his account being closed. Now I am not sure if Mr. Klein actually exists or not as I was only in correspondence with him through email.

LabCorp Sues U.S. Over $31.7 Million Contract
Laboratory Corp. of America Holdings sued the U.S., saying a $31.7 million contract for laboratory-testing services was improperly rejected by the Department of Veteran Affairs.
The department "erroneously programmed" a computer system to stop accepting bids an hour before a publicized deadline, LabCorp said in the complaint filed yesterday with the U.S. Court of Federal Claims in Washington.
"Because the VA refused to accept bids by any other means, such as e-mail, fax, or hand-delivery, LabCorp was divested of all opportunity to submit its proposal prior to the close of the solicitation," according to court papers.
Jo Schuda, a spokeswoman for the VA, didn't immediately return a phone call and e-mail seeking comment on the complaint.
Bids were supposed to be submitted on May 31 by 2 p.m. Central Standard Time, a deadline the company had confirmed with a VA contract specialist, LabCorp said. LabCorp attempted to put in its bid 57 minutes before the deadline and was rejected because the VA's system stopped accepting bids at 2 p.m. Eastern Time, according to the complaint.
In June, LabCorp filed a pre-award protest with the Government Accountability Office challenging the VA's refusal to accept its bid. The GAO denied the protest on Sept. 13, prompting the complaint.
LabCorp, based in Burlington, North Carolina, is asking a judge to bar the VA from evaluating proposals or proceeding to award a contract until it has accepted the company's bid.
The case is Laboratory Corp. of America v. U.S., 12-622, U.S. Court of Federal Claims (Washington).

Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
One of the most important outcomes of Rio+20 in June 2012 was to launch a process to formulate Sustainable Development Goals as a way to focus the world's efforts to accelerate the progress towards achieving sustainable development. The UN General Assembly will begin discussion from September 2013 at its 68th session, based on a report expected by an intergovernmental working group over the preceding 12 months. Sustainable Development Goals are expected to be integrated with the ongoing process to develop the Post 2015 Development Agenda following up the Millennium Development Goals, which will end in 2015. Therefore this topic is very timely, as it is expected that the articles will be published in time to potentially influence the processes to develop Sustainable Development Goals and the Post 2015 Development Agenda.
This special issue welcomes papers addressing all aspects relating to Sustainable Development Goals and their linkage with the Post 2015 Development Agenda. This includes a wide variety of issues such as the content of the goals, how to develop them, lessons from past similar efforts, how to integrate the three pillars of sustainable development, and linkage with existing international goals and commitments; linkage with related concepts such as basic human needs, planetary boundaries, beyond GDP, and the green economy; and cross-cutting issues such as education and Sustainable Production & Consumption (SCP). Governance, including the political process for developing goals as well as strengthening their implementation, is another important area to be addressed. Preference will be given to papers which take a broader perspective and can contribute to the international political discussions on SDGs.

I am being "disowned"… What do I do now?
October 26, 2009 at 9:01 pm in Family & Relationships by Grammy
You know how they say hindsight makes things clearer? Well, I am FINALLY reflecting on my life, and trying to figure out how I got where I am today and what could have possibly caused what just happened.
One of my children just told me that she wants nothing more to do with me… that she wants me out of her life – no contact… don't call, and don't try to see my grandson. WOW… I am stunned! The anger, the accusations, has me bewildered and confused.
I should have seen this coming… she's been friendly, then distant and cold, rude and disrespectful, and back to friendly. Please don't think I am some "pushy" mother who meddled… I am not. As a child, I was told repeatedly "if I need you, I'll call you". And I learned to play that part well. Evidently TOO well… I was giving even when I didn't have it to give… I went into debt to be able to give. I gave to avoid conflict (hate confrontation)! I gave into my husband's demands; and, am still in a 40 year relationship that is void of intimacy (intimacy doesn't just take place in the bedroom.
Intimacy is the bond, tenderness and closeness a couple has for one another inside and outside of the four bedroom walls). We are only together because finances (and our ages and health) make it the easier solution. After all these years, we are struggling to find friendship. For the first time in our lives, he is making an honest attempt to "listen" to my feelings – as I struggle to find them myself. Yeah… what a light bulb when you realize that you don't have a clue what YOU like… and you realize that you've completely lost YOU somewhere… sometime… can't remember when or how!
The only thing that is making sense to me is that the daughter (one of 4 daughters – two live locally) who blew up at me is just recently divorced. She was in an abusive relationship with a very controlling husband that really messed with her mind. Am I making excuses for her, or off base thinking that her anger with me is simply misplaced? That what she said to me is really what she'd like to say to her ex, but can't, or won't because of how it might affect her son? (They have shared parenting).
Any input would be greatly appreciated now… my head is swimming trying to find answers. I really need some views outside this family. My husband wants to just ignore this – that's how he handles things. Pretend they're not there and they will eventually go away. Besides, he's not shut out – only me! And the angry daughter is influencing her sister negatively towards me also. (Siblings tend to bond against parents naturally – yes? no?)
Thanks to anyone who can shed some light… I am ready to listen and learn from my mistakes.

text: It is shocking that Indian cities are extremely ill prepared to address the environmental fallouts of the aggressive building construction that is underway. Both residential and commercial buildings will increase several fold in the coming decade. Nearly 70 per cent of the building stock that will be there in 2030 is yet to be built in India. This will have enormous impact on the quality of urban space; water and energy resources in cities; and waste generation. Unless guided with right principles for location choices , architectural design, appropriate choices of building material, and operational management, the building sector can make cities unliveable.

They're mocking us.
I experienced the full brunt of the brutal cold this morning at 4:37 when Tucker decided he had to use the outdoor facilities. The wind was howling so hard and sleet coming in sideways that he wouldn't walk out into the yard unless I went with him. In my bathrobe.
I then came in, turned off all the alarms and sent out a text cancelling this morning's bible study because the kids for sure weren't having school. I immediately got a text back from Hannah, mocking me for cancelling bible study. She said something like...or exactly..."It's just a little rain. Wimp."
Hmmm. I wonder if her sentiments changed this morning when her car door was frozen shut and she couldn't make her morning run to Starbucks to nurse her raging coffee addiciton. Maybe.
Hannah, how those shakes workin' for ya?
Ok, honestly, Hannah isn't really addicted. Last time I saw her, she was actually drinking some sort of tea. Whatever. I'll find her new achilles heel soon enough.
And truthfully, Hannah was just verbalizing what everyone here for the Super Bowl is thinking. Do you think they'd cancel school and all city services for a little snow and freezing rain? NO! In Pittsburg, they're laughing and Green Bay, I can't even imagine what they're thinking. Not good things. Not good.
So, on our unexpected snow day, we've been trying our best to creatively find things to do.
1. House Scavenger Hunt. Trey hid something in the house and then the kids had to find it. Whoever found it first got $1. When Trey was having to move money from our savings to pay the kids, he'd figured we'd played enough rounds.
2. Cooking. We've made french toast, hot chocolate, grilled cheese, soup, smothered pork chops, brownies, and Cosmopolitans.
We haven't really made Cosmopolitans. Trey says they're 'girly drinks' and is already ashamed enough that the world has to see our city shutting down in light of 1/4" of slush.
3. Watching Scout and Tucker play. As much as Scout would deny it, they're actually becoming really good little buddies. Watching them play is hilarious because Tucker just jumps around and Scout has to lay down totally flat so they can be at eye level. I have a video but unlike your great Aunt Nellie and her vacation slides, I'm sparing you the boredom.
4. Pretending we're CSI and trying to figure out the mystery sender of Tee's anonymous Valentine. It was in his cubby yesterday. No name. Just signed: 'Love ?'. If I could drive in this mess, I'd get it to the crime lab for fingerprinting and handwriting analysis. Unfortunately, I can't because, well, I don't have chains, or snow tires, or the resolve of my wooly Americans yonder North.
5. We're kind of running out of things to do so I guess I'm going to get off this computer and get out of my bathrobe so I can go downstairs and harrass Darius and his girlfriend who are watching a movie in the living room. You know, like walk in and out of the room spontaneously. Remind them in a sing-songy voice about keeping four feet on the floor, and pry innappropriately into her goals and dreams for her future, past relationships, and her personal commitment to abstinance.
On second thought, maybe I'll stay in my bathrobe and house shoes. It can only add to the effect.
Stay warm!

From a Wisconsinite and huge Packer fan it is pretty funny how weather affects different parts of the country...we have a snow day tomorrow but we are getting 12-18 inches and 50 mph winds tonight. Really though we're just jealous of the weather you have most of the year!

You are truly funny. My question is why can my OSU Cowboy and 1000 of his coeds make it to a basketball game, but they cancel class the next day? Although they are all whining via facebook, especially the Texans, that Texas has cancelled school while they still have 10" with more today. We might change the name to the Cowboy Packers - yikes, that doesn't sound so good. My college boy said OSU's attempt at snow removal was inadequate at the best. His father has taught him well!

A 'Critique' of Evolution Proposed in Oklahoma
If it seems like we keep hearing about the fight over teaching evolution in schools and teaching creationism, we do. It comes up like clockwork, despite the Scopes Monkey Trial of 1925.
Oklahoma is the latest state to breach the subject, but the language of the proposed law is different, even if, as critics suspect, the goal is the same. According to the National Center for Science Education, Oklahoma Senate Bill 1742 is the sixth anti-evolution bill introduced in 2012, following bills in New Hampshire, Missouri and Indiana.
The bill purports to recognize "the importance of critical thinking, logical analysis and objective discussion," and directs schools to include "a scientific critique of the theory of evolution," but maintains that its purpose is not to teach creationism or intelligent design, and not to promote any religious doctrine or set of religious beliefs.
The model for the bill, which is stated explicitly in it, is the Louisiana Science Education Act, which was passed in 2008, and is part of so-called "academic freedom" laws. Louisiana's bill was opposed by every scientific society that took a position on it.
Oklahoma's bill would cover discussion of evolution, the origin of life, global warming, and human cloning. It states that teachers would use standard scientific text books, and supplement lessons with additional texts and "instructional materials." Section 5 of the bill declares that an "emergency" exists, and for the "preservation of public peace, health and safety," the provisions of the bill would go into effect immediately upon passage and approval. The bill can be read in full on the NCSE website.
A study published last year found that only 28% of biology teachers follow the National Research Council's recommendations to describe evolution in a straightforward manner and explain the ways in which it is a unifying part of all biology, the New York Times reported.
The study, which was called "Defeating Creationism In The Courtroom, But Not In The Classroom," found that 13% explicitly advocate creationism, despite federal courts consistently holding such practice unconstitutional. The rest — "the cautious 60%," as the study calls them — avoid controversy by not endorsing evolution or intelligent design.

Attend free seminars hosted by Adobe and M-Audio, and get the opportunity to win prizes and giveaways worth thousands. MacForce will also offer exclusive deals on Apple products and accessories, and much more.
Confirmed exhibitors include Apple, Adobe, M-Audio, Wacom, Equinux, Quark, FileMaker, Timbuk2, SmileOnMyMac, Stream Audio/Video, Extensis, LaCie, Softpress, Engrave, XtremeMac, Urban Pages, Audio Cinema, NW Documentary and many more.
"MacForce Summer Blast is a highly anticipated event," said Shane Spiess, CEO of MacForce. "Last year we had over 1,000 attendees. With new products to preview and the free seminars, our customers ask about this event by name. And this year, we're thrilled to have such exciting vendor participation—surpassing what we had last year, not to mention an amazing amount of prizes and giveaways—so I'm sure this will be our best Summer Blast yet."

Over the years I've amassed a fairly substantial games collection. From spectrum to multi mega, games from every era creep out of every nook and cranny. Until lately the one platform I neglected was the original xbox.
At the time it was current I was an ardent Nintendo fan, defending the Gamecube to the bitter last. As the fog lifted I started delving into the depth of the PS2 library. Aside from the occasional triple A foray, the big black paving slab was shunned.
This all began to change a month or so ago after the opening of a new local games shop – Game X Boy. Hidden away in the far reaches of the shop, next to the damaged GBA boxes and B movie DVD's was a small pocket of Xbox titles. Their slightly darker hue of green spilling like toxic waste across the bottom shelf.
Spurned on by the relatively low prices and the chance to discover a true hidden gem, purchases began to rain in. In my quest to fill the void the last 4 weekends I have completed 'the circuit'.
The Circuit has 3 distinct sections.
1, A full English breakfast.
2, Holloway car boot.
3, A game rich location.
I am slightly moving off the topic of games but this is a vital ingredient. When looking to go games hunting on the circuit energy is required (I am usually hung over). After years if painstaking research Daffy and I agree that the Seven Sisters road branch of the Croissant D'or is top dog. Friendly service, great value and passable food all make this our number one choice.
Nags head car boot
If you can wade past the mountains if broken barbies and soiled parachute pants, nuggets of gold can be claimed for pennies.
So far between us we have rescued Spyro (PS1), Disgae (PS2), Tomb Raider 3 (PS1), Rayman (PS1) and Nights (Wii).
Next thing we need to work on is haggling. We really suck at haggling.
Game Rich Location
Being based in north London means there are some fantastic hunting grounds on my door step. A guaranteed winner is Wood Green. Game and HMV are on offer for new releases and hardware. However these are merely carrots on a plate of beef when the true targets are considered – CEX, Gamestation and an independent – Game Zone. All of which have extensive retro sections. In age where gamestation is being ripped apart by game, Wood Green stands – shining in the darkness.
Other solid locations include Walthamstow, which has an average cex but a great independent – Awesome Games. I Will write a full article dedicated to this shop as it has some unique qualities that deserve to shouted about.
Venturing South, Goodge Street has a triforce of classic gaming. No less than 2 Cex's and perhaps the ultimate collectors shop – Game Focus. Within these hallowed walls many hand picked classics reside. Currently I am psyching myself up to purchasing a particularly intriguing copy of Vandal Hearts 2.
Here ends my latest update. Now more than ever with all the new triple A Christmas titles on the horizon it is paramount to talk about the titles that oft are laid by the way side.
Here's to you xbox, it's mostly shit but I love you regardless.

What Obama Values in Kansas
Gerald F. Seib, executive Washington editor of The Wall Street Journal, has been involved in covering every presidential election since 1980 and writes the weekly Capital Journal column for the Journal. Click here for Seib's full bio.
For a sparsely populated state that's often a political afterthought, Kansas has something close to a starring role in this year's presidential drama. Consider:
Kansas Sen. Sam Brownback ran for the Republican presidential nomination. Meanwhile, the Democratic presidential contender, Sen. Barack Obama, makes much of the fact that his mother and grandparents hailed from Kansas, and he lauds the Kansas "values" they gave him.
Now Sen. Obama is weighing as his running mate the governor of Kansas, Kathleen Sebelius, as well as Virginia Gov. Tim Kaine, who grew up in Kansas and whose mother happens to be from the same small town as Sen. Obama's mother.
What to make of this Kansas overdose? It's tempting, as a native son of Kansas myself, to say it's a product of the state's wisdom and character. In truth, of course, much of it is coincidence, fueled by a combination of Sen. Obama's unusual personal background and the fact that he has developed a strong liking for two fresh-faced governors who happen to share Kansas backgrounds.
Yet this prominence isn't all coincidence. Kansas has played out a fascinating political drama in recent years, and the rest of the U.S. can learn a few things from its experience. As it happens, Kansas has been through an extreme version of national political trends: a rise of social conservatives; a searing internal Republican debate; and a bit of a Democratic resurgence. It isn't mere happenstance that it has emerged as a state that is still reliably Republican yet with a highly popular Democratic governor.
From a distance, Kansas may not look quite that interesting. It has gone Republican in every presidential election since 1964 and hasn't elected a Democrat to the U.S. Senate in 78 years. During the past century, it has produced a Republican president, Dwight Eisenhower, and two Republican presidential nominees, Alf Landon and Bob Dole.
But looks are a bit deceiving. Historically, Kansas has carried a wide streak of progressive activism and populist sentiment alongside its reliable Republicanism. Early in the 20th century, it was ahead of its time — and other states — in advancing workers' compensation and the right of women to vote. The state's legendary small-town newspaper editor, William Allen White, was a national cheerleader for the progressive Republican politics of his friend, Theodore Roosevelt.
More recently, its citizens have shown an unusually high propensity to cross party lines to balance power between the parties. Even as Republicans have dominated overall, the state has had a Democratic governor for 29 of the past 50 years.
The politics of the past two decades, though, have been particularly raucous. In the 1990s, the Kansas Republican Party, long run by traditional Main Street fiscal conservatives, came to be dominated by social conservatives who rode the waves of the Reagan and Gingrich revolutions into power. They made the state known as not just antiabortion but ground zero in a national effort to shut down abortion clinics and doctors who staff them. The movement to allow concealed weapons gained a big foothold. And, famously, the conservative-dominated state school board sought to block the uncritical teaching of evolution in its schools.
For a while, this social conservative wave worked well for Republicans. In 1996, the state's governor and entire congressional delegation were Republican. Ultimately, though, many Republicans came to fear that their party was coming to be seen as not just conservative but extreme. Business conservatives pushed back against social conservatives, and a civil war erupted. Some prominent Republicans, including the state's current lieutenant governor, became Democrats.
Out of this maelstrom emerged Gov. Sebelius, who benefited from the Republican civil war in winning her first term in 2002 and re-election in 2006. Even before becoming governor, she had appealed to the state's populist streak when, as a pro-consumer insurance commissioner, she blocked the merger of the Kansas Blue Cross and Blue Shield health program with an out-of-state firm.
More important, since taking office, she has proved skillful at working the political middle. Kansas today has essentially three political parties — social conservative Republicans, moderate Republicans and Democrats — and Gov. Sebelius has succeeded by binding together the latter two groups against the former.
Thus, while the libertarian Cato Institute gave her a "D" grade after her first term largely for proposing tax increases, she worked with moderate Republicans to clean up a fiscal and education-funding mess. She has developed a reputation as a generally pro-business Democrat. Meanwhile, she has pleased her party's liberal base — and gotten in trouble with leaders of her Catholic Church — by supporting abortion rights.
Democrats in general have benefited. Two of the state's four House members now are Democrats.
Thomas Frank, a Kansas native and liberal author of "What's the Matter with Kansas?" argues that navigating the middle ground has left Kansas Democrats with some unique skills. "The state's particularly intense version of the culture wars, plus the savage infighting of the state's [Republicans], has produced Democrats who know both how to speak to populist impulses and how to exploit the Republicans' own fragmentation," says Mr. Frank, who now writes a column for The Wall Street Journal.
The partisan minefields of Topeka, the state capital, aren't all that different from those of the nation's capital. The Sebelius experience in navigating them may be the example of Kansas values Sen. Obama finds most useful.

I'm asking since we've noticed in some emails that if there's
charset utf8 polish chars are unreadable.
From the Wikipedia entry on UTF-8:
The official name is "UTF-8". All letters are upper-case, and the name is hyphenated. This spelling is used in all the documents relating to the encoding.
Alternatively, the name "utf-8" may be used by all standards conforming to the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) list (which include CSS, HTML, XML, and HTTP headers),[15] as the declaration is case insensitive.
Other descriptions that omit the hyphen or replace it with a space, such as "utf8" or "UTF 8", are not accepted as correct by the governing standards. Despite this, most agents such as browsers can understand them, and so standards intended to describe existing practice (such as HTML5) may effectively require their recognition.
So basically
utf8 is technically incorrect (The Worst Kind of Incorrect™), and programs are under no obligation to accept it and Do The Right Thing (though many may do so out of the goodness of their hearts).
Check more discussion of this question.

Culver City's Royal T never ceases to deliver shamelessly fun and slightly kinky thrills. And the next party concept for the Japanese-French maid "cos-play" art space/cafe/retail store sounds like it should be downright illegal.
In other words, we'll be there at their upcoming Candy Land Lolita Tea Party on August 1st. Sounds like there will be a lot of sweet things on hand, like cupcake and cotton candy stands, a Sour Patch photo op, and best of all, a massive Candy Land board, hopefully complete with a real Molasses Swamp locale.
In addition to desserts and dessert-themed fun, there will be a specially designed Candy Land-themed high tea tea set for the costumed servers to run around with and pour you a cup.
Things get a little weird with promises of a "Lolita Fashion Show" and DJs from "Tune in Tokyo." We think you better leave the kids at home with a normal-sized Candy Land and come check this out yourselves.
If you want to get in on the fun, no costume required, but you must RSVP at firstname.lastname@example.com.

I wil have all divisions play from these tee pads to get some feed back. The majority of use on our local courses are beginners and recreational players. It will be a great way to make Aggie Greens a bit more Am friendly. Peace, Love, and Disc Golf!

HomeGoods coming to Flowood, bringing jobs
Retailer moving into vacant Borders store
A national retailer is moving into Flowood.
Officials with HomeGoods have finalized a deal to move into the former Borders bookstore at the Dogwood Festival Market.
Borders closed its Flowood store nearly two years ago and the 25,000-square-foot building has remained vacant ever since. But by the end of the summer, it will be transformed into a HomeGoods store.
The Flowood location will be the second HomeGoods store in the metro area. Another HomeGoods, which is open in Madison, offers a variety of home décor items.
Company officials said the new store will create 60 jobs, including full- and part-time positions. More information can be found on the HomeGoods website.

A leaked internal Verizon screenshot tipping an incoming "Iconic Device" has got the CDMA iPhone flag-wavers out in force again, though the carrier's wording is still suitably inconclusive. TUAW were sent the picture, which seemingly promises Verizon employees that as of November 9th they'll be able to offer customers pre-sales for a "high demand" handset.
That fits in with rumors of increased staffing levels, with some saying Verizon has roughly doubled the team assigned to handling number porting. This particular "Iconic Device" will start pre-orders on the 9th and then start shipping from Verizon direct later on in November.
However, the Motorola DROID Pro is also expected to go up for pre-order from November 9th, with deliveries expected to take place on November 18th, and as the first candybar QWERTY Android phone that could also realistically be described as in "high demand". Apple likes to announce products on Tuesdays, TUAW points out, but we'll have to wait to find out exactly what this new Verizon device is.
Update: Android Central has been sent a different screen shot, which identifies the Motorola DROID Pro as the "iconic device".

San Diego's manly restaurants
From the Hungry Man-style dinners to the décor, the manliest spots to dine in San Diego
From the Hungry Man-style dinners to the décor, here are the Superdiners' picks for the manliest restaurants in San Diego.
What factors go into assessing a restaurant's "manliness?" Big portions? Massive beer options? Man-cave-esque environs? Sports on big screens? Probability of a brawl? For me, manliness is what happens when the fairer sex isn't around to regulate indulgent pursuit of testosterone-fueled vices—daytime drinking, greasy burger binging, flirting with waitresses, leering at cute passersby, talking smack, spending way too much time and money while planted in one spot. You know, the type of behaviors you can see at The Waterfront (2044 Kettner Blvd. 619-232-9656 or waterfrontbarandgrill.com) on a regular basis. — Brandon Hernández, food writer (Twitter @offdutyfoodie)
The Lion's Share (629 Kettner Blvd. Marina area. 619-564-6924 or lionssharesd.com) drips testosterone. Exposed red brick, charcoal walls, mahogany-hued wood, and a menu full of muscular game meats. And if that wasn't enough, there's an antelope perched above the bar, surveying all the action. — Susan Russo, food writer, cookbook author (Twitter @Susan_Russo)
Tractor Room (3687 Fifth Ave. Hillcrest. 619-543-1007 or thetractorroom.com): Huge portions of boar hash, venison, buffalo, elk, thick cut bacon, and cornbread all garnished with discarded lumber from a sage forest served in a dark barn festooned with farm implements. It makes you want to tear the sleeves off your Pendleton and show off your tattoos — and that's just the feeling it invokes in its female diners. Intimidatingly manly. — Gary W. Schons, local prosecutor, avid diner
San Diego was named the least manly city on a 2012 Mars Chocolate North America survey. Although I agree that we have an abundance of mixologists, v-necks and skinny jeans, what defines manly? I do like Cafe La Maze (1441 Highland Ave. National City. 619-474-3222 or cafelamaze.com) for the old-school leather decor, low lighting and history. A perfect place for a Cosa Nostra sit down, and manlier than Rosie O'Donnell in a pick-up truck. — Ricardo Heredia, executive chef at Alchemy Restaurant
The Butcher Shop (5255 Kearny Villa Road. Kearny Mesa. 858-565-2272 or butchershop.signonsandiego.com), old school décor and menu. Recommendations: Very dry Martini with three olives (never drink on an empty stomach), Shrimp Cocktail, Caesar Salad (request anchovies), rare Porter House Steak, twice baked potato, sautéed mushrooms in a Bordelaise sauce, Crème Brulee. — Bill Sysak, beverage supervisor at Stone Brewing World Bistro & Gardens
I think it has to be Donovan's near La Jolla (4340 La Jolla Village Drive, University City. 858-450-6666 or donovanssteakhouse.com). It has just a pure, old world steakhouse feel and a power wine list. There are plenty of steakhouses out there, but Donovan's feels more like the real Sinatra steakhouse. — Jeff Josenhans, director of beverage outlets and sommelier at U.S. Grant Hotel
Barleymash (600 Fifth Ave. Gaslamp Quarter. 619-255-7373 or barleymash.com) is a guy's guy type of spot. Watch a game on one of their many flat screens, down a few pints from their awesome selection of local craft beers and chow on some pork belly, barley pies and burgers. Go there for Sunday brunch and make your own Bloody Mary concoction, that was a hit with the manly guys in our group. — Joanne Arellano, human resources professional, avid Yelper, avid diner
Here's what you want in a manly restaurant 1) big steaks 2) fake leather booths 3) cottage fried potatoes and creamed spinach 4) big a gin martinis and 5) professional waiters. Not actors or surfers who moonlight as waiters. For me, it's The Palm Restaurant. As a kid, maybe twice a year I'd go to the New York original Palm for lunch with my dad and his male buds. They'd be in suits with loosened ties. Most donned carnation boutonnieres. They'd smell of English leather and cigar smoke; laugh and cough a lot and drink at least two or three very stiff martinis a piece. Then they'd go back to their offices and work. Now that's manly.
For working-class manly, see Swieners Food Truck (swieners.com/tag/san-diego-food-truck). You can't get more manly then a hot dog shoved inside a French baguette. And then you eat outside with your (or someone else's) hands. — Charles Kaufman, baker, owner of Bread & Cie Café
It's clearly my house on Sunday morning for soft-scrambled eggs, buttery Parmesan grits, flaky biscuits and acres of thick bacon. Second place goes to Addison, the main dining room at "Papa" Doug Manchester's Grand Del Mar. Add campy paintings of dogs playing poker and this place takes first place. (Ed.'s note: Douglas F. Manchester is U-T San Diego's publisher also.)—J. Dean Loring, co-owner of Burger Lounge
I've been going to The Tractor Room since it opened… a nice something different, with all of the same good stuff going on as The Hash House A Go-Go! My kind of place: honest cocktails and meat. Their logo has antlers! From the mounted trophy heads and wagon wheel décor to the meaty menu items, it doesn't get manlier than this. Brunch is manly: Wild Boar Hash. Braised Buffalo Quesadilla. Elk Sausage Hash. Andy's Sage Fried Chicken Benedict made it onto the menu – a favorite from Hash House. The cheeseboard is substantial. Everything is substantial and the food is very, very good. Cocktails are beautifully crafted and delicious. I love the vibe of Tractor Room! — Tina Luu, pastry chef, food lecturer at the Art Institute of California San Diego
I love the Tractor Room. All aspects of the place are manly. The décor, the menu and the bar are all rather 'macho'. The menu has wild game choices and the portions are plenty man-sized. Plus, they have an extensive selection of brown liquor (whiskey, bourbon, etc.) and there is nothing manlier than a stiff belt of whiskey! — Dave Morgan, CPA, avid diner
The Tractor Room! My pick for sure. Makes me wanna be a cowboy again, yes I was a mean cowboy since the tender age of 5...A mix of Kit Carson and Shaolin cowboy. I love the cocktails. The room feels great and the food is what I would eat (the wild boar spring rolls! Wow) every time I prepare to ride my Arabian horse into the sunset. That is if I could ride a horse. — Fabrice Poigin, private chef, restaurant consultant
Nothing says "man cave" more than a self-proclaimed "carnivores lair" also known as the Tractor Room, home of what they refer to as "Honest Cocktails and Meats". Everything about this place makes you want to eat a steak and drink some bourbon, from the cowhide bar stools to the animals mounts on the walls. The food is served in rustic iron skillets and they have a corn bread that I can't even think about without craving it. If you're looking for a little touch of the Midwest right here in San Diego I suggest you grab your buddies and head up to the Tractor Room for some meat and potatoes. — David Salisbury, a law firm's director of business development, avid diner
Hash House A Go Go is a great restaurant with huge portions. — William Bradley, executive chef at Addison
Easy. Nothing says masculinity like a nice cool salad... Tender Greens! My alternate: Urban Mo's. — Anthony Schmidt, bartender at Noble Experiment
Duh, The Waterfront! This tavern has been a SD locals icon since '33 and has what men love! A barstool, a chilly tapped Ballast Point Pale Ale and chicken fried steak for breakfast. Beer and couple Waterfront burgers for lunch. Kick someone's a-- at a game of nine ball, then jump on your Harley and burn up the coast! They don't make 'em like The Waterfront anymore! — Andrew Spurgin, consulting chef and event architect, andrewspurgin.com
Many years ago when I was in the early stages of my career my boss invited me to a client lunch at The Butcher Shop (at that time they had a location in Mission Valley at the Plaza Hotel). There I was, a young blonde surfer looking gal with 3 businessmen and a room full of "martini lunch" businessmen. Today this remains the "manliest" restaurant that I have dined at and still gives me chills when I think about that lunch. Thankfully, today's world is much different. — Randee Stratton, real estate broker, avid diner
Presumably, San Diego's "manly" restaurants feature muscular décor, exotic meats on the menu, large portions, and strong, small batch whiskeys. But, for some places, traditional definitions of the word "manly" are severely tested when the bartender has cartoonish facial hair, sports ill-advised tattoos, wears skinny jeans and would rather be called a "mixologist" instead of bartender. Or when the jar along the back of the bar doesn't contain pickled pigs feet or pickled eggs, but rather infused cucumbers and fruits. Sigh. See, you got me started. — Gerald "Dex" Poindexter, publicist, avid diner (Twitter @SuperdinerDex)
