Example :
Construct a triangle PQR with PQ = 5cm, PR = 6 cm and QR = 4.5 cm.
Step 1 : Using the steps in the previous section, draw a line segment PQ with lengths 5 cm and mark the points P and Q.
Step 2 : To draw PR, first stretch the 2 arms of the compasses 6 cm apart, place the sharp point at point P and mark an arc with the pencil end.
Step 3 : To draw QR, adjust the compasses to 4.5 cm, place the sharp point at point Q and mark an arc with the pencil end. You need to draw the arc so that it will intersect with the arc drawn in step 2. Label the point of intersection as point R.
Step 4 : Draw straight lines from P to R and from Q to R
The following video shows how to construct an SSS Triangle using a ruler and compass,

Nobel Prize Winner, Ivar Giaever, Resigns from the American Physical Society Over Global Warming Stance
Steve Horn | September 16, 2011
By Steve Horn • Friday, September 16, 2011 - 15:08
On September 14, renowned Nobel Prize winning physicist Ivar Giaever announced his resignation as a Fellow at the American Physical Society (APS). The reason? His grievance over their stance on global warming, which they believe, rightfully so, is conclusively real and man-made.
Their stance on global warming reads,
The evidence is incontrovertible: Global warming is occurring. If no mitigating actions are taken, significant disruptions in the Earth's physical and ecological systems, social systems, security and human health are likely to occur. We must reduce emissions of greenhouse gases beginning now.
Because the complexity of the climate makes accurate prediction difficult, the APS urges an enhanced effort to understand the effects of human activity on the Earth's climate, and to provide the technological options for meeting the climate challenge in the near and longer terms. The APS also urges governments, universities, national laboratories and its membership to support policies and actions that will reduce the emission of greenhouse gases.
This is a fairly straightforward statement on global warming, and one that is in line with the overwhelming scientific consensus. One would think Giaever, a trained and renowned scientist himself, would agree with the statement himself.

Dad Show: Stung Like a Bee (the death of my best friend)Posted by: | Comments
I heard the last words I would ever hear from Tim Gray when he jumped out of the passenger side of my Ford Truck last Summer, a jump that was a seamless, quick, effortless motion he had maneuvered many times before, so many times that he made it seem like magic. He then said, 'Buddy, be careful….I love ya.' I have agonized over those few words since I got the call from Scott, his oldest brother, telling me Tim, my life long friend, that friend closer than a brother, forty-five-years-old, had died earlier that day.
To say I grew up with Tim and and his brothers is to grossly understate….. continue…
My Daughter's Dark GiftPosted by: | Comments
I'm a middle child. I just feel I need to say that up front, in case I start defending some of my nine-year-old middle child's missteps. Irene Mills Smith was born St. Patrick's Day, 2003. It was a rainy day, windy, a couple days before America invaded Iraq. I remember President Bush giving Saddam 48 hours to 'run and tell that,' to get out of downtown, to put 'em up or die. I hardly paid attention because I was holding my brand new baby girl in my arms. I had a four-year-old boy who was as close to perfect as any child I had ever been around. Parenting was easy, I had four solid years of being the perfect Dad. The first time Irene opened those baby blues and looked me square in the eyes that March morning, I knew immediately I would pay dearly for my many past transgressions. Like Saddam, I was warned.
Daydreaming about ZZ TopPosted by: | Comments
My youngest child and I were out looking for some big black frames yesterday. We had big fun. Rose didn't know that she was caught in the web of my latest obsession and subject of nightly recurring dreams, ZZ Top.
Right, Billy, Dusty and Frank have dominated dreamland for a couple months now. I YouTube the boys every night looking for everything ZZ, ..and, at this point I hide it from family and friends. I can't exorcise it. I hate to compare the boys to bad spirits, but lately, I've felt haunted and oddly…… continue
The dream started out of nowhere. Goes like this, …a friend and I are front row at a ZZ Top concert circa 1984, arena rocking. We hear two full songs that seem to rotate, they change from one night to the next. Sharp Dressed Man, La Grange, Just Got Paid, Legs, Jailhouse Rock and Tush. There must be more, these I remember. The kicker, and killer, the dream always suddenly ends after the first 10 or so seconds of Cheap Sunglasses. Never do we hear the song. It is painful, really painful. I wake in a panic, sweating, unsatisfied. Nothing helps, so here's a post. I hope you catch this, sorry… but.. continue
Three weeks back, I found every ZZ Top cover on YouTube,…some awesome, some pathetic attempts that I watched anyway. I was pathetic, or maybe just lost to a band that put roll back in the rock, saved millions of music fans at least a few times and had to have lip synced through every concert. Can that three piece play a perfect song with every live attempt?
The bright spot, there's a band, actually a few bands I discovered during my search for ZZ Top covers. Deer Tick, Dawes, Delta Spirit, Middle Brother. Bands are driven by guys like John McCauley, a talent missing in 2000s Indiana rock. It may be the most brutally honest song writing I've heard in years. Just listen to Middle Brother, super hero indie band featuring McCauley of Deer Tick, Taylor Goldsmith of Dawes and Matt Vasquez of Delta Spirit.
Ken Tucker, from NPR, called Middle Bro the best band of 2011. Great bands, especially great songwriters are almost always underestimated, however. I believe,… I'm sure I am right, this trio isn't getting the credit they deserve. Like ZZ Top, these boys are saving rock music. It's what super hero groups do. Now, save us from music festivals and all will be good in the world. I dreamed of Deer Tick last night. John McCauley belted out Cheap…. continue.
Love Means Never Having to Say You're Sorry for Throwing up on You, DaddyPosted by: | Comments
My youngest child, my daughter, my five-year-old, Rosemary, surprised me this week when she proved to me that she taught herself to tie her shoes. She did this by, while I was watching, tying her shoes. She then said she planned to teach my nine-year-old daughter to tie her shoes because, as she put it, 'it was time.'
Rose is a doer, a worker, she's independent. She takes things apart and puts them back together, or mostly back together. She may be the brightest child I've ever made. I made two before her, a supersonic aspie son who can make any book tremble, and a nine-year-old daughter, Irene. 'The Machine', my lovely middle child, my wild child with… continue
Dad Show: I Love that Aspie of MinePosted by: | Comments
'My name is Bill. I'm a Dad and a radio man. These are my shorties. This is my family.'
It's Valentine's Day and I'm still trying to determine what to give my three little sweethearts. My two youngest, my daughters, nine and five, will be more than thrilled to take chocolate and stuffed bears off my hands. I'm having a tougher time deciding what to give my oldest, my thirteen-year-old son, my Aspie, my son who fights his way through a form of Autism called Asperger's Syndrome.
AS is an Autism Spectrum Disorder that is characterized by significant difficulties ocial interaction, along with restrictive and repetitive patterns of behavior and interests. It differs from other Autism spectrum disorders by its relative preservation of linguistic and cognitive development. Physical clumsiness and atypical use of language are also often reported.
The photo I've included shows him at eight. He was diagnosed the following year with OCD and Depression. Once the doctors were able to get these two debilitating disorders under control, they determined that he had AS. I knew my son was good, good to the core. I just thought it was a result of my awesome parenting. It turned out he was fighting his way through more than any adult should face in a lifetime. I could not be happier with the school he attends, but kids are cruel and ignorant of mercy. He's an easy target because he simply doesn't have the capacity to interact socially, especially in a group, especially in middle school.
This morning he said he planned to give a certain girl in his class a Valentine's Day card. He asked, 'Dad, should I ask her out?' My heart began to break at the thought of rejection, a feeling he has faced time and again. I could not be prouder of my straight A student, my well mannered kid, my son with a heart of gold. I hope, like I always do, that today will be different, and some unsuspecting thirteen-year-old girl will realize the prize standing in front of her with a heart in his hand.

Hi Guys,
I feel like this is a stupid question to ask, and I feel like it is a straight forward thing, however, how can I watch youtube streams through PMS on my PS3?
I have noticed the lines there in the default WEB.conf file, but still I don't know how to play around with that to show my subscriptions and most importantly, how to play videos from it.
Thank you for the help in advance

Big Rapids, Mich. - The Ferris State University women's volleyball team will begin preparations for the 2013 campaign and a march towards a potential NCAA Tournament berth for the fourth time in the last five years as student-athletes officially report to fall camp on Saturday (Aug. 17).
The Bulldogs will hold team and parent meetings along with the program's annual Serve It Up picnic as part of Saturday's activities prior to a team retreat. The team returns for testing on Monday morning with the squad's first official practice set for next Monday afternoon at the Ewigleben Sports Complex.
Regular weekday practices during the preseason will typically feature two per day until Friday, Aug. 30. Along with the normal preseason practices, the Bulldogs will also participate in several scrimmages before camp comes to a close. Team meetings, presentations and conditioning are also part of the scheduled preseason activities.
Ferris State officially opens its 2013 season on Friday, Sept. 6, with a pair of non-conference matches at the Ferris State Invitational in Big Rapids. The Bulldogs host California (Pa.) and Missouri-St. Louis in their first two matches of the tournament. FSU then concludes tourney play on Saturday, Sept. 7, with contests against Washburn (Kan.) and Cedarville (Ohio).
Ferris State wrapped up the 2012 campaign with a 24-8 overall record and reached the NCAA Division II Midwest Regional Semifinals for the second consecutive year. FSU also posted a 16-2 mark in Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (GLIAC) North Division play and came within a single victory of claiming a second-straight conference championship.
The Bulldogs have advanced to the NCAA Tournament three of the last four years to date.
Ferris State returns nearly 10 letterwinners for the 2013 season, including a pair of All-GLIAC selections in senior libero Brandie Merren (Hopkins) and junior outside hitter Courtney Rehm (Portage/Central). A year ago, Merren was tabbed as the GLIAC's Libero of the Year and also a Daktronics All-Midwest Region First Team honoree.
The Bulldogs are guided by head coach Tia Brandel-Wilhelm, who will embark on her 18th year at the Bulldog helm and 21st season overall as a collegiate head coach.

Aromatic Vegetable Fried Rice (Su Cai Chao Fan)
Total Time
Prep 10 mins
Cook 15 mins
Apparently the secret of great fried rice is to first toss the cooked rice in peanut oil and then mix in the seasoned vegetables. This rice calls for a clear vegetable stock. You can use a highly processed and scary store bought one :) But for a really authentic and impressive flavour you can go to the minimal effort of making your own. The recipe I use is Clear Vegetable Stock (Su Cai Zhi) Cooking time does not include preparing the rice.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 14.79 ml peanut oil
- 1 garlic clove, finely chopped
- 709.77 ml cooked long-grain rice
- 2.46 ml salt
- 29.58 ml sesame oil
- 14.79 ml peanut oil
- 2 garlic cloves, grated
- 1 cm cube fresh ginger, peeled and grated
- 2 stalk celery, cut into thin diagonal slices
- 100 g green beans, cut into thin diagonal slices
- 1 carrot, grated
- 236.59 ml bean sprouts
- 140 g bamboo shoots, sliced
- 2 spring onions, white part only, finely chopped
- 1 green capsicum, sliced
- 59.14 ml clear vegetable stock
- 29.58 ml soy sauce
- 2.46 ml salt
- 14.79 ml coriander leaves, for garnish
- Heat 1 tbs peanut oil in a saucepan and sauté the chopped garlic for 10 seconds. add the cooked rice and salt and toss to mix. Heat through, remove from heat and set aside.
- In a separate saucepan, heat th 2 tbs sesame oil and 1 tbs peanut oil and saute the ginger and grated garlicfor 15 seconds over medium heat.
- Add the celery, green beans and carrot and stir-fry over high heat for 2-3 minutes. Add the bean sprouts and bamboo shoots and stir for 1 minute.
- Stir in the rice, spring onions and green capsicum and toss to mix. Stir-fry for one minute.
- Add the vegetable stock, soy sauce and salt. Continue to stir over high heat for 1-2 minutes until the stock is absorbed, Garnish with coriander leaves and serve.

The flavor was terrific! I liked that it was mostly vegetables with some rice, instead of rice with a few veggies for color (if you know what I mean). I substitute brown rice to cut the carb count way down. Made for ZWT 6.
This was really yummy and I loved how many veggies were packed in. As a suggestion, for step two, use a wok, rather than a saucepan, so much easier to manage. This smelled lovely and was fun to look at. I'd probably try adding a chilli and peanuts next time I make this just to see how it goes, but it's great just the way it is.
if you like chop suey you will like this dish i used coleslaw mix from produce aisle in rreplacement of bell pepper ,i put soy sauce on rice before frying , thats just how i do it ,i used canned veggies but fresh clery it was nice , i didnt add as much sesame oil ,but thats me try this dish it easily goes for one person , and you will noot walk away hungry . i used chicken stock zaar tour 6

There are many couples who wait until they get married in order to discover sex for the very first time. Whereas they have heard and read stories about how pleasant sex is meant to be, they are generally filled with the fear of the unknown and perhaps the fear that it will be a boring or painful encounter. You need to gather all the necessary information that the fear of first time sex will not simply destroy your first night together.
Create the correct ambiance
The room where you are going to have first time sex with your new spouse needs to be arranged systematically and romantically using the best beddings, pillows and even an elegant comforter. Where you can, arrange some flowers and at least drop some petals on the bed as well as arranging for some soft lighting and if your lake it, a light with s dimmer; the clean and elegant room with help to relax your moods.
Dress sexy
You need to go on a dress in a sexy manner because anything less than that could actually kill the mood especially of your woman who may be having fear for first time sex. You do not want to dress in something that will erode your self confidence by creating any semblance of stress. Get the sexiest underwear for your self and some nice lingerie for your spouse.
If your wife is going to have sex for the very first time she will be afraid that it will be painful. Men are ready for sex the moment their penis stands erect but not so for a woman. Her vaginal canal must become moist in order for penetration to occur. You will need to work up your woman in order for her vagina to moisten naturally. This could involve anything like hugging, touching, kissing, oral sex as well as wet kissing all of which will enhance lubrication in readiness for penetration.
Choose the correct position
The difference between pain and lack of it for first time sex will greatly depend on the style and position. The best position would be with the woman on top because she is actually able to control the level of penetration. This way, she will cut down on any little pain she may feel and manage some level of pleasure for her first time sexual experience.
Proper breathing
You will need to ask the women to breathe in and out during the initial penetration as this has a way of lessening that initial pain and will also help her to relax and feel much better. Just in order to keep things well organized you may plan to have a clean towel underneath the pillow because some women will bleed when the hymen is broken and this could mess up the entire bed. The bleeding could actually happen for a few days but no need to worry because that is perfectly normal.

Platte River Day2 AM
After a night in the blind, at 06:41 the light started to come up and the cranes went into action. We no sooner had our stuff cleaned up from the night and lenses in the tripods when the cranes up river burst into the sky. It was still dark as sin but shot I anyways. We later learned that a Bald Eagle flew over the cranes to the north which sent them into the sky. A number of folks have asked what ISO I shot at and when I replied I was at ISO200 the whole time, they asked why didn't I crank it up. Just because you can doesn't mean you should. I'm still of the mind set of ASA64 so I've already cranked it up shooting ISO200. I dunno, it just works for me so I stick with it.
Shooting in the morning from the blind was by far the highlight of the whole trip. After jamming the lens left, right and up while panning and trying to get use to the limited movement, I got the sort of got the hang of the blind and the cranes. There was easily 3000+ cranes in front of us when we opened our eyes that morning. As always, they seem to celebrate the sunrise which made for great photography. It really goes beyond words!
There was lots of pair bonding and dancing. I missed a lot of it because I would pan in the direction of the action, hit the side of the blind and by the time I corrected for it, the dancing would stop. Or, the dancing would occur and another crane would step right in front of the action. Since I couldn't move, I missed the photo. I just simply hate blinds. But I loved the cranes. Here's a little flavor of the morning shot just prior to the major left off of the cranes to the fields.

When they picked us up, we headed back to the car to pack our gear and then off to the restrooms. After finding out what the other blinds had for the morning, checking out hot birds sighting, we left to check the fields. But the light basically sucked. Since we hadn't eaten for 24hrs, we headed to food. Mark took me to a favorite of his, Skeeter Barnes. Darn good BBQ with Sweet Chips…yummy!
I can't thank Mark enough for the thrill of a lifetime. It was a longtime dream come true that now I will have to venture back to every year. I HOPE to run into you there!

Exterior Deconstruction
The first step in the exterior restoration process was to remove all of the additions that the duPonts had made to the building. After all of the interior trim, floors, framing and fixtures had been removed from 1901 portions of the mansion, heavy equipment was brought on site to remove the duPont additions. Special care was taken to preserve all original Madison fabric, and hand tools were used to remove all material adjoining the eighteenth and early nineteenth century brickwork.
Concurrent with the demolition of the additions, the stucco was carefully removed by hand from the original Madison portions of the house.
Images of the Exterior Deconstruction
A mason removes the stucco from the exterior of the mansion with an air-powered chisel. While the earliest stucco coating dated to ca. 1855, the duPonts reapplied the stucco in the early twentieth century when they made their additions to the house.
View of the duPont additions after the windows, trim, and roof had been removed. Prior to demolition all of the interior spaces had been documented with photographs, measured drawings, and text descriptions. Additionally, a sample from each interior element (moldings, floors, plaster, lights, etc.) was taken and is now part of our permanent duPont collection.
Heavy equipment was brought in to quickly knock down the ca. 1901 exterior walls. Much of the material removed during demolition was recycled or re-used (including some of the framing that was re-sawn for use as studs in the reconstructed Madison-era partition walls).

Carrying the ball on the Aztecs' first play from scrimmage in 2005, Hamilton cut to his right into the open field and ran for 12 yards. It was his first carry since Nov. 8, 2003, the day his right foot caught in the turf at UNLV and his ankle and fibula snapped.
Hamilton did not have a run longer than 7 yards for the rest of the first half, which ended with him having gained 52 yards on 16 attempts. But he added 26 on his first three carries of the second half, including a 13-yarder, his longest of the night. He also had five receptions for 35 yards.
Referee Terry Leyden – working much faster than most NFL officials – confirmed Lewis' knee was down before the ball crossed the goal line. No matter: UCLA's Chris Markey scored on the next play to give the Bruins a 31-6 lead.
Dragovic, from Rancho Buena Vista, practiced on the offensive line and at fullback during his redshirt season in 2003. A reserve on defense last year, Dragovic last night blocked the first extra-point attempt by SDSU's Garrett Palmer and later added a sack.
Skaggs, from Rancho Bernardo, originally was recruited as a center but switched to defense during his redshirt season last year. His father, Craig, played for SDSU from 1985-87.
San Diego was chosen for the shoot "because the location was very cooperative, and that's the best place to get a professional stadium of that size," said Jim Scura, a producer for the film.
The independent movie is about the road trip to the fictional game, and the scenes at Qualcomm are near the end of the film. It may debut at the Sundance Film Festival early next year.
In the last four games played between the Aztecs and Bruins at Qualcomm Stadium, UCLA has outscored SDSU 176-53, an average of 44-13. In the last eight meetings overall, the composite score has been 309-111, for an average of 39-14.
The interception by Spencer Havner late in the first half marked the third straight year the UCLA linebacker has intercepted a pass against SDSU. Against other schools, he has six in 33 games.
SDSU's first scoring drive, which consumed 15 plays, 70 yards and 6:44 on the clock, was its longest in terms of plays since Oct. 26, 2002, at UNLV (18), and in terms of time of possession since Sept. 7, 2002, at Colorado (7:08).

Today's framed feathers etsy listing is a stunning Bee-Eater Bird amongst a delicate background of royal purple and airy white drops. This one of a kind work of art was created using a mix of medias including watercolour, acrylic, gouache and ink on rice paper and a 5″ X 7″ canvas board. Want to know a little bit more about the Bee Eater? These near-passerine birds eat insects, but as their same suggests feast predominantly on bees and wasps. Their richly coloured plumage, long tail feathers and fit, slender body make these birds a real pleasure to admire. As extroverted birds, they nest in colonies. They are monogamous birds and raise their young as couples and with the help of other bee-eaters in the community. Purchase this piece and get five automatic entries in my framed feathers giveaway or comment on this post for one entry. For more details about all the freebies click here.

Olivia 20/08/2011 at 08:49 #
I'm sure I raved about this guy to you at the show…but just in case I didn't, I looooove the combination of the purple background and the gold frame with his colors. Such a beauty.
And the frame in and of itself is such a win – great find!

Lil Wayne says 'Tha Carter IV' is 'totally done,' out August
No, really, fans: despite the sliding and constantly moving release date, Lil Wayne's "Tha Carter IV" has a firm release date.
The rap star told MTV that the set is "totally done." The much-anticipated album is now due Aug. 29.
And Weezy's well-aware that the shifting drop date has kept his followers on edge. Which is probably why he's also plotting to release a new mixtape, "Sorry for the Wait" tomorrow (July 13), one of many mixtapes he's crafted for fans.
A preview track -- his take on Meek Mill's "Tupac Back" in "Tunechi's Back" -- has been sent into the ether. "Wish I could take a shot a Ciroc with 'Pac / Sorry for the wait, 'til my album drop," he rhymes.
The "Sorry" set coincides with the kick-off to the second leg of Tunechi's I Am Still Music Tour, which bows in Hartford. Rick Ross, Keri Hilson, Far East Movement and Lloyd are along for the ride.

Future Fund
Fortunes of state hinge on bill

Dave, Truth's comments were not accusations, only legitimate questions that were asked long before Truth asked them. As citizens, we have the right to question anything we feel is not above board. Why shouldn't someone check into the rainy day fund? Here we are wanting to create a completely new fund, and for some off reason, no one wants to touch the money stashed away in the original one? Doesn't that seem odd to you? Just exactly what are they saving it for, if not to fix out infrastructure? I want to know myself why it isn't being used? Perhaps because it isn't there?

DaveRao... She's not credible. More liberal BIAS!
In case you wonder WHY I refer to you as 'she' is because apparently YOU cannot read as SEVERAL times I've told you over and over I am NOT a HE; I am a she. So I will give you the same respect you give me.
WHY don't liberals 'respect' women? Is this another democrat war on women?

I'd say the Governor and Manchin NEED that Rainy Day Fund to FUND their covering up of their sad, pathetic years of destruction thus far in office so they can attempt to get 're-elected' again. After all... it IS an election year again!
Someone should do some checking into that rainy day fund and make sure THAT hasn't dissapeared as well as the FOUR MILLION from Walt Helmicks reign as Agriculture commissioner.
The SILENCE of the liberal media, (THIS paper included!) is DEAFENING! Where's the REAL INVESTIGATIVE JOURNALISTS? Campaigning for dems apparently; as they don't seem interested in finding out where $4 MILLION went either!!!
0 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Is this how our dear Manchin got his "infrastructure bank" like Obama wants also...deceitfully hidden behind a different name to fool the masses again?
We have already been paying taxes that are to be used for fixing our roads. But dems keep insisting they need money for road repairs! Just another way to tax people AGAIN!
Where's the 4 MILLION that disappeared under Walt Helmick, the Agriculture commissioner in previous administration???????????????? ANYONE LOOKING INTO THIS?
And Governor...don't we have an 'excess' in the Rainy Day Fund to fix roads? OR is that a lie also? AUDITS; AUDITS; AUDITS!!! Yeah, dems hate AUDITS!
Someone should be 'proving' that that Rainy Day FUnd really exists not in the figment of these leaders 'imagination' but for real!

We have a "Rainy Day Fund", which the state seems reluctant to dig into, and now they want a "Future Fund." Wouldn't you call all of the roads in WV falling apart reason to dip into the "Rainy Day Fund?" Wasn't this fund created for just that purpose? Now, they are wanting to create a completely new fund?
I'm beginning to smell a rat? I'm beginning to get suspicious that the money in the Rainy Day Fund has mysteriously disappeared and this is their way of hiding it. If that's not the case, and given the condition of our highways, just exactly what is this money for? I can't think of a more worthy cause to use it for, so why is the state skating around using some of it to fix our roads?

I notice when democrats give themselves a big pay raise, it's a LOT more and they do NOT wait and do it in increments over 2 or 3 years.
Heck, the inflation will raise more than that in one year. lol.
Democrats are NOT the party of the people; they are the party of BIG CORP; BIG GOVT.

Well on another note; The State Senate passed an increase for the minimum wage Friday afternoon. The raises will take place over the next three years.
The House originally proposed a 75-cent raise for the next two years, but a Senate committee changed the bill on Wednesday, so that the increase is more gradual. The total $1.50 raise will come 25-cents next year, 50-cents the next, and 75-cents the final year.
LOL. So enjoy that 25cent raise next year....
Even dems don't want to do this but only doing it now because there's an election this year. Notice how they LESSENED it? hypocrites!

Well another WV STATE GOVT worker at Dept of Highways equipment division in Buckhannon has been arrested by FBI this morning!
More arrests may be forthcoming also!
A month after a supervisor with the Division of Highways was arrested, 5 News has confirmed that another DOH worker was handcuffed Friday morning. Matthew Tuttle has been arrested. We don't know why yet, or if it's connection to supervisor Barry Thompson's legal troubles. Thompson is accused of making a false statement to an FBI agent involving a federal investigation into the equipment division of the DOH. Always the GOVT! No surprise here. And Obama/dems want private business destroyed and GOVT taking over those too. Coruption rampant in ALL govts everywhere.

Maybe this is because of the Democrats budget plan for 2015 being MORE than they actually have. Dems: STOP spending more than you have. CUT SPENDING!!
The West Virginia Senate has passed a budget bill that dips into the state's reserve funds by $125 million to balance the 2015 budget.
And they say if they do not RAISE TAXES by next year... then they will be using more of the rainy day fund.
If you vote these dems back into office... expect higher taxes. It's the ONLY answer democrats seem to have for any problem. God forbid they should 'consider' CUTTING spending like we have to do!

How about using that fund to FIX THE ROADS?????
Yeah on PAPER sounds good. But democrats will WASTE it or an agency like the one Dem Helmick ran (agriculture dept) will do something with it that ONLY an audit will find AFTER he leaves office!
We STILL have NO idea where 4 million dollars went. What say you democrats?? Anyone actually 'looking' into it? Think WV voters have forgotten? Think again!

Provides: Edge and screen/back protection for iPhone 4
Developer: Dexim
Minimum Requirements: iPhone 4
Price: $24.90
Availability: Now
Now I see why Apple gave away their bumpers for free. And why even then no one wanted them.
I appreciate the theory behind the bumper. As you may have noticed in my recent flurry of iPhone 4 case reviews, I prefer to have a skin on my iPhone, because people around me need to know what my favorite hockey team is. I also like the scuff and scratch protection skins offer without adding any bulk.
But they don't provide a buffer between the phone and the desktop, and they don't cushion the phone from drops. A bumper would allow me to get this protection while letting the skin show through.
This may still be possible somewhere, but not with Dexim's 5 in 1 Bumper Kit for iPhone 4. I mean, yes, they do this, but not in a comfortable way. And this comes down entirely to construction and fit.
The Dexim bumpers are simply too loose. They're easily placed around the edges of your iPhone, with the proper openings for your dock, volume buttons, headphone jack, etc. But the silicone material isn't rigid enough, and therefore bows out on the edges and top/bottom every time you grab it. The bevels will slide off the phone, making it awkward and annoying to hold.
You do get five bumpers for the price, but I didn't really like any of the colors. The black and white options are fine, I suppose, but the blue, purple and red are all too bright and basic, like the colors you'd find on a child's toy.
Dexim was kind enough to include an anti-glare screen protector with squeegee card for installation, along with a cleaning cloth (the site states you get five sets of these, although my review unit only contained one), but those don't make this kit worth it.
I'll still see if there's a bumper out there that works like I want to it to. I don't have much hope, though, because Dexim makes some really great iPhone cases, and they weren't able to get this one right at all.

You can experience that with Philips' new amBX gaming peripherals. These peripherals include fans, LED lights, a rumbling keyboard wrist bar, and more. The games need to be written to support the amBX technology, but several already support it and more are apparently either updating their existing games or incorporating the technology into new games.

It will fall faster than the other paper crap, but then it will rebound as the other paper crap catches up. That will be a period of deflationary pain in the US when living standards will drop like a rock in water.

Mumbai: The aggression displayed by Chinese companies is well known, but their global ambitions are coming to light only now. The largest PC maker in China, Lenovo, stunned the world late last year by acquiring the PC business of IBM.
Yuanqing Yang, chairman, Lenovo, spoke to ET about how his company is trying to build an international company. Lenovo is now among the top three companies in the industry world over. Mr Yang says, "We wanted to create a global company and a global brand. And the quickest way of doing it was through acquiring a brand like IBM. We are allowed to use the IBM brand for some years and we will own the Thinkpad brand... The combination of the Lenovo brand and IBM will help us in building a global brand. The heritage of IBM, we feel, will work for Lenovo's brand in the long run."

Mirror in the Bathroom
Music/Lyrics: Cox/Steele/Wakeling/Morton/Charlery
Vocals: Trey
Original Artist: The English Beat
Original Album: I Just Can't Stop It (1980)
Albums: Live Phish 06
Debut: 1998-11-27
Historian: Mark Toscano
The wild nature of the second set at Worcester on 11/27/98 is reflected in the appearance of this English Beat song in the middle of a raucous "Chalk Dust Torture." While Trey took the reins at the start of the "Chalk Dust" jam, Mike's mind was obviously contemplating the staccato ska of "Mirror," one of the English Beat's most popular singles. After Mike plugged the tune's bass-line into the "Chalk Dust" socket a couple of times, Trey took the cue and electrified the whole thing with some appropriate chording and a couple of verses to boot. Fish and Page naturally complemented with respective drumming and organ work. By the way, this set is a must-have for fans of the wilder shows, and conveniently is captured as Live Phish 06.
"Buried Alive", "Wipe Out", "Chalk Dust Torture" -> "Mirror in the Bathroom" -> "Chalk Dust Torture" 11/27/98 Worcester, MA

Thai military junta suspends constitution
Anti-government protesters raise fists as they sing and listen to the national anthem during a gathering Thursday, May 22, 2014 in Bangkok, Thailand. Thailand's army chief announced a military takeover of the government Thursday, saying the coup was necessary to restore stability and order after six months of political deadlock and turmoil.

By Associated Press, The Associated Press
BANGKOK - Thailand's new military junta has announced that it has suspended the country's constitution.
A military statement broadcast on national television Thursday confirmed the nation's caretaker government is no longer in power but said the Senate will remain in place.
The news came two hours after army chief Gen. Prayuth Chan-ocha announced that the military was taking control of the country after six months of political protests and turmoil.
After the coup, anti-government protesters who have struggled for six months to oust the government dispersed for the first time.

Happy mischief night, kiddies! Back in the day, Halloween Eve meant TP-ing homes or drop-kicking pumpkins or (this was curiously popular in my neighborhood) drawing on people's cars with soap. But these are bad options for us today because a) I feel like people are a tad more uptight about such things now, and b) it's not so becoming on adults. So instead of turning to borderline-misdemeanor pranks, satisfy your mischief craving with these funny/cute/"Monster Mash"-related vids. (If it's "Monster Mash"-related, you better believe I'm on it.)
Cat-Piloted Chewbacca Costume Conan, your cat, and your boyfriend are conspiring to get your boyfriend out of your coworker's party.__
The Sexy Monster Mash Aw, the sexy monsters are giving the poor originals a complex. Especially that girl who just breathes, "Mummy."
Super Fun Night's "Monster Mash" number Rebel Wilson's cover wins the season.
Haunted House for White People Problems "Do you take PayPal?" "We only take PayPal." Brilliant.
Painted dogs on Jimmy Kimmel OMG, zombie puppy.
"Video Game Love Song" The vid for this Lan single = the best costume party ever captured on film. Seriously.
__LadyTime Halloween Spooktacular I'm a big fan of this bizarro Funny or Die series, and I am always down for a spooktacular, so it all checks out.

This is probably my favorite game. It's fun. It doesn't take too long. It is hard for me to win it, but when I lose I feel like 'I could've won if I'd only played better,' instead of 'if I'd had better luck.' That especially makes me want to play it again and again. Some of the antiques are so cute that my wife will take them, even if there are better cards she could take. She wins anyway. Often everybody picks a detective at the same time, and then everybody laughs out loud. I like the try-to-read-other-people's-minds aspect of the game very much. The game will be different every time, because it depends so much on what the players are like as people. How many games are there that involve interaction with others, hard-thinking, and laughter, all at once? It's good stuff.
Adel Verpflichtet is one of the most impressive jobs of mixing excellent balanced play with strong mechanics and it's all amazingly built on a foundation of Rock, Paper, Scissors.
I have seen some diehard gamers suggest this game is nothing more than that basic childs game, but that's like suggesting that the Indy 500 is just driving a car.
The theme here works very well. You feel like a snob much of the time and feel like a crook when you're stealing items from another player, etc.
The game pieces and board are excellent. It's easy to learn, teach and play and all moves along at a nice pace. The strategy elements are subtle but essential. This is far from a basic guessing game.
The game is best targeted to moderate gamers who enjoy the social interaction elements gaming brings as opposed to the more intense gamers who are mainly interested in only the game.
In my group, it has yet to fail to provide an excellent play experience.
The game is fantastic. By Hook or Crook embodies
the elements of all great games, it posseses the
need to get more power and the ability to get it
by any means. The ability to steal artwork and to exact revenge on your opponents makes this a game for true gamers. I recommend it for all gamers regardless of age or gender.
This game is a great game. It does have a strong element of luck, but is above rock paper and scissors. We have tried playing with random players, and these positions lose (even when it is hidden knowledge that they are playing randomly).
There are two elements of strategy that are clear:
- playing the most logical move. As one person complains in another review- you can move from behind rapidly by using a detective against a thief. However, this is a strategy, that works to win- deliberately fall behind in the knowledge you will play a detective to catch up. There are a number of such strategies available to players, and each of them has merits and subtlety. There are some real strategies to be uncovered, even though they are certainly mitigated by luck.
- psychologically figuring out your opponents. If you can figure out the pschology of your opponents, you will always win this game. Since people are unpredictable it is not easy- but there are certainly patterns, and if you can deduce the patterns you will come out ahead. This is entertaining in and of itself.
The thing that pushes this game from a four star game to a five star game is that it is fast and fun. Even if you are losing, you will have fun trying to outwit your opponents each round. Every round you have something interesting to chose. How can you go wrong with this? It does not have the deep strategy of some other games- but some games should be light fun, and this game fulfills that promise completely.
I introduced this to our games group, which had recent favorites such as Settlers, [page scan/se=0042/sf=category/fi=stockall.asc/ml=20]Modern Art, and [page scan/se=0172/sf=category/fi=stockall.asc/ml=20]Medici. Within two minutes, everyone was clear on the rules and we were up and playing. This one is quite a different breed, but it has been a huge hit nonetheless.
This is NOT game based on luck or other random factors. Keeping an eye on which collections people are displaying, which items are available for purchace, which cheques are out of play, and whose thieves are currently locked up, can give you a general idea of which cards are likely to be played.
But, knowing which of your fellow gamers are cautious or risky, spitefull or forgiving, will help you along just as much.
We highly recomend this to the hard-core devotee or to the casual gamer.
This is one great game, with an equally great mechanic.
There are a few different strategies and the winner will truly be the one who 'outbluffs' the rest of the table. The gaming system is flawless for this reason.
It took a while to teach to friends, who tended to overcomplicate it (the kids picked it up right away); but once everyone had it down, it was hilarious.
The pieces are of good quality too.
We recently started introducing quality games to non-gamers during lunch hour to bring some fun and informality into our office environment and found ADEL to be an excellent game for that purpose!
It plays within an hour, is easy to teach others (about 5 minutes), has great spectator interest (pity only 5 can play but we had many more just watching and joining the suspense with each move), where the winner is in balance until the very last move!
Players liked the suspense that comes with each turn (both deciding where to go and what to do) and enjoyed hiding the size/worth of their collection until the very end!
I would strongly recommend this game along with other office lunch time favorites: Acquire (Avalon Hill; now Hasbro--best all time classic), Formula 1 Fever (Shaunequest Games--best local game) and Apples to Apples & Pictionary (best office party game).
This is another one if those games that I have read about and never gotten around to buying. Adel has a solid pedigree (Klaus Teuber, Alea games, Spiel des Jahres) and the theme appealed to me, so....
Boy, when other reviewers describe this game as a variant of Rock, Scissors, Paper they aren't kidding. Game play is virtually simultaneous! everyone just chooses a card from their hand. Some cards canceling the effects of others, etc.
The object is to tacticly move around the board while protecting the vaue of your hand (collection of rare objects).
So if anyone else out there has been looking at this game and wondering if it could really be 'that good', don't worry. It is, so go ahead and buy it!
My mother-in-law likes to play games, but due to the painkillers she has to take, she does not have the concentration to devote to long, complicated games. Tonight I pulled out my old Avalon Hill copy of Adel Verpflichtet when she asked me to bring a game over. I am very pleased at how well it was received.
The game is a perfect blend of bluff, intuition, and luck. Playing time is an hour or less, and players of all skill levels will be happy with this title. I am the sort of person that loves deep strategy games, like El Grande and Tigris & Euphrates. I came in second behind my sister-in-law, who is a casual gamer, and only a couple squares ahead of my mother-in-law.
Was it because there is no strategy involved, or too much luck? No. I was simply out-guessed. There was almost constant laughter as we played, as one player or another would outsmart the others at the table. At the conclusion of the game, everyone seemed quite happy and willing to play it again soon. Not many of my games generate a response so universally positive, and those that do are rare treasures indeed.
The game may be the most convoluted take on rock-paper-scissors ever invented, but it is easily learned and easily played. This is a game that stands the test of time, and will be a welcome entry in any family's game closet.
Let me start by saying thanks to Mark U. for teaching me this simple and fun game. As I am a collector of Euro games I have to read reviews. This is the only way to choose game sight unseen. I purchased about 10 games and one was Adel Verflichtet. As some of the reviews give game play descriptions I won't. This game will not disappoint you. Weather you teach it to your Mom & Dad or you bring it to you gaming group for a short session. It does have depth and suspense. Oh and one thing all games should have 'Player interaction'. Buy it and have lots of fun simple.
Winning the SDJ (Spiel des Jahres) award for game of the year automatically puts this game into the family-type game category. And as a family game, Adel Verpflichtet can provide alot of laughs, suspense, and a great deal of fun bluffing. I sat down and played this with only 2 players, and still had a blast. Ok, so it's not the deep thought type of game like Euphrat and Tigris. But as a family type game, this one is premo stuff.
Oh, gosh, this is the most wonerful game in the world! When my German teacher showed it to me and it was and hour of complete fun and enjoyment. It is unlike any other game I have ever played. I used to play those old Risk and Monopoly-type games, but once I was introduced to Adel Verpflichtet, Those other games seem as if they meant nothing to play. I'm definitely going to buy this game and I know I will never stop playing. I bet within a couple years, it's gonna be the addiction game of America. I luv it and am teaching my family it right now. The reason I like it is because there are options in this game that you can't use in other games. It's also very very easy to set up and clean up because there aren't that many pieces; probably a fraction of the amount of pieces that Monopoly has. If you like high suspense games that keep you laughing for hours, buy this game, it's worth it.
A really fun aspect of this game, which I prefer with 5 players, is the guessing and double guessing involved.. do I go to the Library or the Auction, do I buy or steal.. should you and if so I .. just a mess!!! That's a lot of fun. Another good thing about this game is that the natural division of two places to play into, means that you usually have two games going on in parallel in any one round. Something that San Marco can attempt to in a 4 player version, but in this game takes a life of its own. This is really unique and a lot of fun.
The unsatisfying aspect of this game is the ending. You can be in last place with ZERO points (no undeclared sets), bur your card hoard and a well timed detective catching a thief could yield you 8 + 6 = 14 points.. maybe not first place but you could land a close second!! All the fun in every round notwithstanding, that seems a bit questionable to me. Of course you have worked all along to build such a set, but the players you're leaving in the dust that have plodded 2/3 of the way through the scoring track have that puzzled look on their faces..
I find too that because you can swing points quite a bit at the end, some players are unable to choose a defendable strategy. They just pick something. Maybe we need to play it more. The concepts and game play are unique and exciting. I think it's a nice piece of original work. Not cheap though.. but the cards are of high quality.
I thought this game was unique and interesting. I seemed to enjoy it a lot more than anyone else in my gaming group did, though. Some complaints of theirs were 'too boring' and 'no strategy involved'. Weve played it twice and I had to fight to have them give it a second chance. They dont hate the game, they would just much rather play something that takes at least a little strategy like Settlers or [page scan/se=0027/sf=category/fi=stockall.asc/ml=20]Bohnanza. I thought it was an entertaining little bluffing game; very light gameplay; does not satisfy any strategic itches. I liked the element of the detectives and thieves a lot too. They really are necessary in keeping the winner from running away with it. Overall, I would call this a good 'beer and pretzel' game. Anyone can learn it and anyone can win it.
A simple blind bidding board game, this one has been around a long time, and certainly is worth considering as a purchase as a lighter, non-gamer game.
Players do 2 quick blind bids each turn, on to decide whether they will be involved in the auction, one to decide if they will display their collection (which is how you get points to win the game.) After that, they then then have another set of decisions involving acquiring and antigue or stealing the paycheque, or displaying a collection or stealing from a collection, or stopping people from stealing from a collection. Best with 5 players, this game is simple, but reasonably fun.
The fun comes from trying to figure out what everyone will do on their turn. If you play a cheque to acquire an antique, you must beat the other checks to do it, and another player may play a thief which means he gets to steal the winning bid. Trying to guess other players priorities can be pretty fun, but it means there is little long-term strategy.
This game is one of the 'granddaddy' German games -- games that came out in the mid-1980's or earlier from designers we now know so well. The game were a little simpler than the ones in the bestseller lists today, but are definitely classic. Klaus Teuber brought this little gem to the public, and probably unknowingly, continued the tradition that Sid Sackson had started with Acquire: interesting games with decisions to be made each turn, and shorter, more definite playing times.
As a symbol, this game rates a 5, but compared to what's out now, sadly, this game feels a bit too simple. Do not misunderstand me, it is not a bad game in the least, but player used to GAMES Top 100 might be a bit underwhelmed by this one.
The game is blind bidding, which people either like or loathe. I like blind bidding well enough, but lots of people I know, don't. Thankfully, most non-gamers like it alright, and since this game is a bit shorter, and lighter, it does fit the bill as a goog board game for non-gamers. I've heard of plenty of people who discovered German games through Adel Verpflichtet.
SO for what it's worth, I'd have to say this game is 3 stars, which is not bad. This game is one I'll play, but, for me, is not a purchase I would make on a tight budget.
This was the first German-style game I played and I really disliked it. I am glad I got to play other German-style games or I would have thought all German games would be a waste of time. Yes, it is glorified Rock-Paper-Scissors, where people can randomly select what they want to do or try to decide what to do, and stand an equal chance of winning.
Anyhow, I felt a need to post this counter-opinion lest people reading these reviews think the game is universally loved. It isn't. Three out of five stars because it is a decent title, but TO ME, it is pointless.
This is an interesting bluffing/math game with a Museum Antique theme. Players try to get furthest on the game track by showing the best exhibit or capturing the crooks. When you choose the show house and opt to exhibit, you move the number of spaces corresponding to the information on your square and your placing at the show. You can also play the part of the robber to steal pieces from your opponents -- or the part of the detective, which captures the robbers and advances your token. When you choose to visit the auction house, you buy items for your exhibition or steal the cheque from the register. The delicate balance in this game is that the best exhibitions move you further, but they are also more attractive to thieves.
The game play is unique, and worth a run. However, it's not a 'must have.' My guess is that you'll tire of the mechanics after a couple of plays.
The game scores well in quality of bits. The interaction and theme are mediocre. Not the best piece at the exhibit.

Clinton's views agree
Hillary Clinton "has already said she's going to wipe out the Second Amendment. She doesn't believe in the First Amendment. And, she also believes in big government, which flies in the face of the 10th Amendment"

Another superload will be coming through east Mississippi later this week, on its way to the Kemper County coal plant.

It began working its way through the western part of the state Wednesday and is expected to finish a three-day journey to the plant Friday.
The load will travel Highway 45 to Kemper County to Highway 16 and then to Highway 493 to the plant.

The iPhone5 is like the Queen of all phones, the leader in technology: it's the phone that makes all the others feel jealous - its the popular one. Why do I want a iPhone5 you ask?
- 8MP iSight camera - which would be just amazing for the more random photo's needed for my blog!
- Super speedy wireless internet - ideal for on-the-go blogging
- 4 inch retina display with 326pixels per inch - perfect for some online shopping or picking my must-buys to feature on my site.
I have to be honest, it's the photo thing for me. There is something so brilliant about the iPhone5 photo's with the abilities to share the photo's across all social media. There is no need to faff around! It would've certainly helped with some existing blurry photos...
The list is endless - this is the phone that I need. Available from the CarphoneWarehouse the great thing is there are so many deals to suit all, but ultimately I think the phone pays for itself. No more faffing with a phone that's battery rapidly runs out, no more struggling to get a decent picture when at a event, and most of all I love the fact that the iPhone 5 is able to reorganise your social media life all at once.
Unlike some phones, the iPhone5 has endless options and choices for different Apps to make your life more easier and more fun! One of my favourite apps has to be Instagram which is an app that is widely used alongside the iPhone5 and I have been known to turn a little green with envy everytime I hear one of my friends talk about it... not fair!
For someone who struggles with juggling all the social things in life, I think things can be solved in one fail swoop!
what do you use to keep up?
