The Galaxy is on the brink of a major war being won by dangerous rulers and only a few fighters stand between the Emperor and his unrelenting army which is constantly surging peaceful plants. The destruction and invasion of any planet who won't agree to the Empire's stringent regulations is all but destroyed.
Jyn Erso is one such rebel fighter who is willing to go to any lengths to fulfil her mission, often landing her in trouble with her seniors but her independent demeanour means that she might be a perfect candidate for an imperative mission - the failure of which could mean the end of the galaxy as its citizens know.
Jyn and a small team of fellow rebels must steal plans for the Emperor's newest and deadliest weapon, The Death Star.

We all know the story of Luke Skywalker and the legendary Jedi and rebels who fought to keep the universe safe but what about the other Rebel Alliance fighters who were doing their all to protect their freedom? Jyn Erso has never been one to stick to the rules; she's been alone since her teens and doesn't require the protection of others to make her own way. A member of the rebellion who likes to rebel from all authority on both sides of the war.
She has unlimited gumption and a fierce attitude which attracts her to the leaders of her rebel unit. Jyn is ordered to locate and bring back important data on a new deadly weapon that the Galactic Empire is building and beginning to test. The Dark Star is the Empire's new planet destroyer and its secrets are closely guarded by Darth Vader and his legions of fighters all willing to lose their lives in a bid to keep the Empire the ruling force.
Jyn and her small team of fighters set out on a mission that they know they're likely not to return from. The rewards outweigh the risks and Jyn must retrieve the plans before it's too late.

As the story snakes south through the United States along the Mississippi River, this movie builds up a bleak, mopey vibe that's difficult to engage with. It's the story of two gambling addicts who think that the answer to all of their problems lies just around the next bend in the river, and it's sharply well written and directed, with astute performances from the lead actors. But it's also relentlessly grim and unsympathetic.
They start their journey in Iowa, where estate agent Gerry (Ben Mendelsohn) is at the end of his rope when he meets cocky gambler Curtis (Ryan Reynolds). There's a spark of recognition between them, as Gerry sees Curtis as himself 10 years younger, thinking maybe he can kickstart his life again. So they hit the road together, heading for a high-stakes poker game in New Orleans. Along the way, they stop to visit Curtis' favourite prostitute (Sienna Miller) in St. Louis and Gerry's bitter ex-wife (Robin Weigert) in Little Rock. And in between, they visit Memphis to win some extra cash. But by the time they reach New Orleans, things are starting to look desperate again.
Continue reading: Mississippi Grind Review
Gerry's gambling addiction has gotten way out of hand. He's already lost everything in his quest for winning, so now he's thousands of dollars in debt to nearly everybody he knows. Continually losing doesn't stop him hitting the casino, but when he meets casual poker player Curtis - who unlike Gerry doesn't let a desire for the win take over his life - he forms an unlikely bond and finds that his luck is beginning to turn, but not necessarily in the money stakes. The pair team up in order to go for the big bucks on New Orleans' legendary poker scene, and Curtis soon finds that Gerry needs something big to pull him out of the rut that is his life. He's got to learn that there's more to life than winning, but is he willing to take a gamble on the advice of his mysterious new friend?

First-time feature filmmaker John Maclean takes a strikingly original approach to the Western, creating a realistic road trip for two very different men. Genre fans might wish it was more of a shoot-em-up (the massive final gun battle is astonishingly earthy), but it more than makes up for that with a strong sense of its characters and settings. And by shooting it in New Zealand, Maclean found an unspoiled, spectacular landscape that has its own memorable impact.
The story centres on Jay (Kodi Smit-McPhee), a tenacious 16-year-old travelling from Scotland to find his beloved Rose (Caren Pistorius), who has moved to the Wild West with her father (Rory McCann). As Jay enters dangerous bandit country in Colorado, he meets bounty hunter Silas (Michael Fassbender), who offers to accompany him through the perilous forests and mountains ahead. What Jay doesn't know is that Silas used to be in the most feared gang in these hills, led by his old pal Payne (Ben Mendelsohn). And as they traverse the landscape, meeting various robbers and some angry Native Americans, Payne is never too far behind, because he's hoping they'll lead him to Rose and her father, who have a $2,000 bounty on them, dead or alive.
What makes this movie so engaging is the growing connection between Jay and Silas, who aren't quite as different as they seem to be on the surface. Smit-McPhee plays Jay as soft and naive, and yet his fearlessness shows a steely inner strength that should never be underestimated. Meanwhile, Fassbender gives Silas a jaded charm as the stranger who doesn't want anyone to know who he really is. While Jay wears his emotions on his sleeve, Silas clearly feels them just as strongly but has learned the hard way to keep them bottled inside. Especially while living in a place like this, where any true sense of civilisation has yet to take root.

When a young boy in Scotland falls in love with young girl, he is prepared to travel across the world to follow her. When she travels to the United States, he follows her, and travels forever west in order to find her. In a lawless land where only the most deadly can survive, the boy, Jay Cavendish (Kodi Smit-McPhee) is forced to team up with the mysterious Silas (Michael Fassbender), and work under his mentorship as they travel west together. The only problem is, that there is a bounty on his head, and a team of people desperate to collect it.

With his writing-directing debut, Ryan Gosling shows audacious skill as a visual artist but never quite manages to recount a story that grabs hold of the audience. It's a stunningly gorgeous film packed with strong, earthy performances from a starry cast playing against type. But there's no momentum at all to the narrative, which is packed with random symbolism that never quite resolves into anything either meaningful or emotionally engaging.
Lost River is a decaying, abandoned city on the edge of a lake created by damming up a river and flooding another town. In what's left of their neighbourhood, Billy (Christina Hendricks) lives in her family home with her sons: a toddler and a teen named Bones (Iain De Caestecker), who helps support the household by scavenging for copper in the vacant buildings nearby. But he's encroaching on the turf of self-proclaimed gangster Bully (Matt Smith), who is intent on exacting vicious revenge. Meanwhile, next-door neighbour Rat (Ronan) is caring for her delusional granny (Barbara Steele) and trying to help Bones. And when the new bank manager Dave (Ben Mendelsohn) turns down Billy's cry for help, she takes a job at his seedy underworld nightclub alongside Cat (Eva Mendes).
Aside from some blood-soaked cabaret, what goes on in this nightclub remains rather mysterious, as Billy finds higher-paying work in the purple-hued basement fetish rooms. But then everything in this film is enigmatic, as Gosling deliberately refuses to connect the dots. This gives the film an intriguing David Lynch-style tone, although it lacks Lynch's eerie resonance. There's also a touch of John Waters-style trashiness and Terrence Malick-style natural beauty, plus the clear influence of Gosling's heavily stylised past directors Nicolas Winding Refn (Drive and Only God Forgives) and Derek Cianfrance (Blue Monday and The Place Beyond the Pines). In other words, almost everything in this film feels like a reference to another movie, but it's expertly assembled to look fabulous from start to finish, with some seriously striking sequences along the way.

Accelerating Possession is a groundbreaking collection of essays that examines how recent economic movements have revolutionized the relationship between property and personhood. These prominent scholars argue that in our present age, globalization, rampant privatization, and biotechnology have irrevocably changed traditional ideas of property and the self. Definitions of property no longer correspond to the configurations of the person who owns or is subjected to property. Self and ownership have a whole new arithmetic.In these essays, privatization is understood as an array of interconnected processes and relationships through which the capitalist marketplace controls, among other things, the political rights, social membership, and knowledge production that constitute personhood. The contributors believe such processes are accelerating profoundly, and they examine the effects via a range of topics, including the invention of property rights in U.S.-occupied Iraq, the work of John Locke, the art of Jenny Holzer, and the writing of Octavia Butler and Stanislaw Lem. They explore the synergy and dissonance between conceptions of the private as marketable and the private as inalienable, and consider how the contemporary transformations and futures of property and personhood relate to concepts of citizenship, state, culture, and education.These essays were all written with the guiding belief that the evolving relationship between ownership and the self has a fundamental effect on debates in critical theory. The essays are methodologically linked through their emphasis on the linguistic and rhetorical, as well as the philosophical and epistemological. Their focus on reflections of property and personhood in literary, textual, or artistic objects makes this collection a vital cross-disciplinary tool.

Jack Ruby - Check Signed 06/07/1956

Jack Ruby - Check Signed 06/07/1956:
Check filled out and signed by Ruby in 1956
Check signed: "Jack Ruby", 8¼x3. 1956 May 22. Counter Check payable to Selig Company for $83.41 drawn on Mercantile National Bank at Dallas check. Ruby has crossed out Mercantile and written Republic National above the bank name. He has written the name of his company Royal Parma Pizza Co above his signature. JACK RUBY (1911-1967), born Jacob Rubinstein in Chicago, spent much of his youth in foster homes and correctional facilities. As an adult he performed odd jobs, and there are claims that he worked for Al Capone. Ruby moved to Dallas in 1947 and engaged in a series of failed nightclub ventures (including the Ranch House, leased in this document), before opening his Carousel Club in 1954. On November 22, 1963, President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas. On November 24, 1963, in front of millions of television viewers, Ruby shot Lee Harvey Oswald, alleged assassin of President Kennedy. Ruby was found guilty of murder, but the verdict was set aside; he was awaiting a new trial when he died of cancer. Some have claimed that Ruby was assigned to silence Oswald. Others, including the Warren Commission, viewed him as a psychologically unstable and violent individual who had acted alone. Paper residue on left edge. Bank cancelation holes. Bank processing stamp on verso. Lightly creased. Otherwise, fine condition.

International post for international customers to avoid fees. 15 to 20 Euros plus per figure would kill the line for me (10 Euros fix for handling no matter how the value is).
She could look a little more evil but overall I like her. But I'm a NA fan. Yes, the proto was better but ...
Man ... those characters would have been super-cheesy. Strobo works surprisingly well. The others probably would fit better in the Fuerza-T line. I like them.
Funny thing: In one comic Wiplash...
Yes, the Great Black Wizard – if we see him someday – will be my Satma. Like Vikron is my Goras.
They are here (Austria) ...
Camo is a little bit cheesy. Beast Man a little bit too red and Granamyr, well ... green.
The hill looks like Playmobil.
Oftaaaaa! A huge Thanks from the German speaking part of the world!
I'm there with you. We have enough cool He-Man heads ... the orinal one isn't that great. I would have loved the Laser Power head. Or the vintage one from Ooooolarrghsomething.
Oh, that's what I meant. The other one with the curved balde might be Carnivus, yes.
I think it might be a new Roboto.
He's got some moves ... indeed.
Not a must since there are already 3 very accurate figures (no longer available I think but Pixel Dan did a review) ... but I would buy it. As well as "Mighty Mightor" who would fit as well.
Not sure about the Skeletor look ... but that may be just the new-look-of-used-to-things ... but besides that the story gains momentum!
Watched it with 3 of my kids ... and it's very straight foreward (like the old trilogy). The light saber duells are no more jumpin around and they really feel like fighting ... well done J.J.!
I think I read somewhere that he simply was possessed (and no specific/special person) and killed the queen.
I have to say, I feel the same way. It's a change of pace ... but it felt a little too long ...
To be honest I always saw the comic as a form of testing what might work for fans/larger_audience ... they tried out new things; they came back to original designs ... Mattel ist not as stupid as...
Express cheaper than Post ... to Europe. Hmmm. Nearly 200 bucks. Ouch!
I still do not like the design of the War Wraith but his/its creation is really a nice nod! My favourite playset! This issue was rather fast paced and the switching scenes a welcome change from the...
THIS might be it! Otherwise the War Wraith would be really short-lived.
Not sure about this one. To be honest I didn't like the design of the War Wraith but probably this will change if/when we know, why it looks like this.
As I get it Hsss is like an infection ... he slowly overtakes the body of his host. I suspect it was back then ...
The Adam twist was really ... heavy ... koff, koff ...
I guess Evil-Lyn will become yellow. The whole Eternity War is only happening to bring back the Masters' original designs.
Did like this one a lot. Most of all that they managed to focus on teh different arcs. It's gaining speed.
This is an idea I carry along with me for a long time ... I'd love to see a Matty line providing prototypes for various Mattel toylines. No action features, just articulated in the look of the...
Really liked this one. But I'm a sucker for time travel/loop stories.
Not my cup of tea (giants in general) but I always like to look at test-shot photos and I can understand why people collect them.
I'm really excited that super7 is doing such a varied line-up.
Really liked this one as it touched me on an emotional level.
Things I noticed:
- every time they introduce new (old) characters they use their original designs.
- I like the overall...
This one is online now. Just read it and ... wow!

Agamemnonby Aeschylus David Mulroy
Agamemnon, King of Argos, returns to Greece a victor in the Trojan War. He has brought with him the seer Cassandra as his war-prize and concubine. Awaiting him is his vengeful wife Clytemnestra, who is angry at Agamemnon's sacrifice of their daughter Iphigeneia to the gods, jealous of Cassandra, and guilty of taking a lover herself. The events that unfold catch everyone in a bloody net, including their absent son Orestes. Aeschylus (525-456 BC) was the first of the three great tragic dramatists of ancient Greece, a forerunner of Sophocles and Euripides. His early tragedies were largely choral pageants with minimal plots. In Agamemnon, choral songs still predominate, but Aeschylus infuses them with such dramatic feeling that the spectator or reader is constantly spellbound. Translator David Mulroy brings this ancient tragedy to life for modern readers and audiences. Using end rhyme and strict metrics, he combines the buoyant lyricism of the Greek text with a faithful rendering of its meaning in lucid English.
Antigoneby David Mulroy
Sophocles'Antigoneranks with hisOedipus Rexas one of world literature's most compelling dramas. The action is taut, and the characters embody universal tensions: the conflict of youth with age, male with female, the state with the family. Plot and character come wrapped in exquisite language. Antagonists trade polished speeches, sardonic jibes and epigrammatic truisms and break into song at the height of passion. David Mulroy's translation ofAntigonefaithfully reproduces the literal meaning of Sophocles' words while also reflecting his verbal pyrotechnics. Using fluid iambic pentameters for the spoken passages and rhyming stanzas for the songs, it is true to the letter and the spirit of the great Greek original.
Oedipus at Colonusby David Mulroy
Oedipus at Colonus is the third in Sophocles' trilogy of plays about the famous king of Thebes and his unhappy family. It dramatizes the mysterious death of Oedipus, by which he is transformed into an immortal hero protecting Athens. This was Sophocles' final play, written in his mid-eighties and produced posthumously. Translator David Mulroy's introduction and notes deepen the reader's understanding of Oedipus' character and the real political tumult that was shaking Athens at the time that Sophocles wrote the play. Oedipus at Colonus is at once a complex study of a tragic character, an indictment of Athenian democracy, and a subtle endorsement of hope for personal immortality. As in his previous translations of Oedipus Rex and Antigone, Mulroy combines scrupulous scholarship and textual accuracy with a fresh poetic style. He uses iambic pentameter for spoken passages and short rhymed stanzas for choral songs, resulting in a text that is accessible and fun to read and perform.
Oedipus Rexby David Mulroy
Oedipus Rexis the greatest of the Greek tragedies, a profound meditation on the human condition. The story of the mythological king, who is doomed to kill his father and marry his mother, has resonated in world culture for almost 2,500 years. But Sophocles' drama as originally performed was much more than a great story--it was a superb poetic script and exciting theatrical experience. The actors spoke in pulsing rhythms with hypnotic forward momentum, making it hard for audiences to look away. Interspersed among the verbal rants and duels were energetic songs performed by the chorus. David Mulroy's brilliant verse translation ofOedipus Rexrecaptures the aesthetic power of Sophocles' masterpiece while also achieving a highly accurate translation in clear, contemporary English. Speeches are rendered with the same kind of regular iambic rhythm that gave the Sophoclean originals their drive. The choral parts are translated as fluid rhymed songs. Mulroy also supplies an introduction, notes, and appendixes to provide helpful context for general readers and students.

President Obama Visits Baton Rouge After Criticism That He's Late
President Obama tours Louisiana's communities affected by the flood that damaged over 60,000 homes and killed 13 people.
Beginning next year, Americans will get to see some of their favorite (and not-so-favorite) living public figures honored on postage stamps.
The Unites States Postal Service has decided to drop its time-honored rule that an individual must be deceased five years to be honored on a stamp and now, they are asking the public to weigh in on what living figures should be chosen next. One must wonder if this move is an attempt to get more people to buy stamps and use USPS.
USPS is taking suggestions via Facebook, Twitter, or if you have a few stamps lying around, you can send a letter to: Citizens' Stamp Advisory Committee, c/o Stamp Development, Room 3300, 475 L'Enfant Plaza SW, Washington DC 20260-3501.
So tell us, now that living people can get their own stamp, who would you choose?

Stocks That Market Insiders Love 0 comments
It is no secret that most of the world's stock movement is controlled by large institutional buyers, and the average individual investor has little to no effect on the price movement of a particular stock anymore. Average investors tend to be at the mercy of large hedge funds, mutual fund companies, and other major investment institutions.
With such a large percentage of stock's price movements being controlled by large institutional buyers in the current broader markets, logic would tell us that being invested in companies that are well sought after by large investment institutions may turn out to be a profitable strategy.
Investment managers that control over $100 million are required by law to file reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission, better known as their SEC. These disclosures report exactly what holdings and how large of holdings these large institutions are purchasing and selling.
1.) Google (GOOG) - Google is one of the biggest names in tech. They recently acquired a smaller company Waze, which should help Google in making their Google Maps program the best in the world. Google also has incredible innovation, as they allow their employees to spend a set amount of time daily to work on personal projects.
Analysis- In terms of financials, Google's revenues have been increasingly steadily in the past few years. 2009 shows revenues of $23.3 billion, compared to 2012 revenues of $50 billion. As a result net income has nearly doubled in the same time frame, growing from $6.5 billion ins 2009 to $10.7 billion in 2012. EPS were at $20.41 in 2009 versus $32.31 in 2012. Sales are growing at a rate of 17.5% annually.
Conclusion-Google is a growth monster, it trades at a P/E of 26 but it's high growth rate definitely helps justify this large multiple. The stock has run up quite a bit, with it's 52 week range being from $557.21-$920.60, and a currently price of around $875 (as of 6/26/13). For a tech growth investor, Google may be worth a look.
2.) Procter and Gamble (PG)- I recently wrote an article about the how great of an investment PG is long term. With a stable dividend, and their former CEO AG Lafley back in charge, PG should see a nice return over the long haul.
Analysis- Proctor and Gamble has always been a great "buy and hold stock", which is exactly what I have outlined in the past. It's stable dividend and excellent emerging markets growth prospects make it appealing.
Conclusion- Catalysts for PG include the recent management change, emerging markets, and recent billionaire investors announcing their stakes(Ackman and Buffett). Reasons to hold include the dividend, growth potential, and safety.
3.) Chevron (CVX)- My article, "Why You Should Add Chevron To Your Portfolio" helped explain my reasons for liking Chevron stock. Reasons include excellent leadership, dividend payouts, and superiority to their competitors.
Analysis- Chevron's financials are excellent, starting with net revenues. Revenues have grown from about $160 billion in 2009 to over $230 billion in 2012. Income has grown in this time period as well, from $46 billion to $52 billion. Chevron currently has a P/E of about 9 and a PEG of less than one.
Conclusion- Chevron offers excellent growth prospects, stable dividend, and good 3-5 year appreciation estimates. I view it as a superior investment to their slower growing competitors. Chevron outperforms ExxonMobil (NYSE:XOM) in stability, earnings growth, and dividend yield. Chevron is also very well in tune with the latest trends in alternative energy developments.
Although these are certainly no guarantees, like anything in the market, following these patterns for research on your stock portfolio may prove to be helpful. The trick (and also the hardest part) to profiting from this system is being able to predict what industry large institutions are currently seeking, and buying the best company in that sector.
Disclosure: I am long PG, AAPL. I wrote this article myself, and it expresses my own opinions. I am not receiving compensation for it (other than from Seeking Alpha). I have no business relationship with any company whose stock is mentioned in this article.Back To Thinking Big's Instablog HomePage »

Asked by the BBC what he'd look for in a wife, Prince Andrew remarked, "I've not had any chances to think about it." No matter: His mother may be doing the thinking for him. By Queen Elizabeth's lights, randy Andy, fourth in line to the British throne, could do worse than to settle down with Sarah Ferguson, the 26-year-old daughter of Prince Charles's polo manager, the cousin of Elizabeth's assistant private secretary and possibly the sexiest descendent of King Charles II. "The queen has a soft spot for Sarah," says an intimate. "She has known her since childhood and is delighted Andrew has taken such an interest in her."
Andrew, who escorted the redmaned, freckle-faced "Fergie" last June to Royal Ascot, previously ran with Carolyn Herbert (jockey Steve Cauthen's ex-favorite) and models Katie Rabett and Vicki Hodge (who tried to peddle pictures of Andy carousing in the Caribbean). There were also rumors that he was back on track with Koo Stark, who has split from her husband, heir to a trading stamps fortune. Ferguson meanwhile was breaking off a three-year relationship with Paddy McNally, a 48-year-old divorcé with two teenage children, reportedly because McNally didn't want to marry her. Presumably Princess Diana helped her through that difficult period. So chummy are the two Sloane Rangers that Sarah was the only friend invited to lunch with Di on the Princess' 21st birthday.
Sarah was raised on her parents' $3 million Hampshire estate. But when she was in her teens, her parents divorced after her mother, Susan, ran off with an Argentinian polo star, Hector Barrantes. Sarah's first job after leaving school was as a secretary in London. "She was...scatty, with her head in the clouds," says a colleague. "She was all for parties and late nights. That's what happens when you employ someone with good social connections."
Sarah spent New Year's with the royal family at Sandringham, where she and Andrew reportedly snuggled in a remote hunting lodge. Sarah's blue BMW has been seen parked in front of Buckingham Palace, but wedding plans are nonexistent. "You must be joking," Sarah sputtered when asked the inevitable question. Says Andy, "When I do find somebody, it's going to come like a lightning bolt. You're going to know it then and there."
Boo Hoo, Koo! Diana's Pal Sarah Ferguson Wins Andrew's Heart and the Queen's Approval

Incognito browsing modes allow us to hide web searches that we aren't too proud of. This doesn't just include inappropriate searches but also embarrassing ones like 'my hand is stuck in a jar of jellybeans help'. Incognito mode doesn't save your browsing history and while this is great to keep your online activity hidden from anyone using the same computer it's not so great for when you actually need to look at a link you just visited but can't find. Off The Record History is a Chrome extension that keeps history of your incognito browsing session so long as it is active. You can view a complete list of links you've visited and incognito tabs you've closed from the extension's panel. Once you close the incognito window however, your history is erased from the extension so no one can look at it. Read More
How To Quickly Start & Stop Windows Services Without The Task Manager
Windows and the apps installed on your system run lots of different services in the background. Most of these services are essential to the OS or the app's working and they are best left to do what they are meant for. If however you find you need to monitor, start, and stop a particular service running in Windows frequently you might not want to repeatedly go through the Task Manager to do so. My Windows Service Panel is a free and open source app that lets you select Windows services you want to monitor and stop/start them from a dedicated panel. Read More
How To Check Your Windows Laptop Battery Health
Laptop batteries deplete in performance overtime. Some last longer than others but none last forever. This depletion is most commonly observed when a battery doesn't last as long as it used to in the first year(s) of its use. If your battery is down to lasting just ten or fifteen minutes it's pretty obvious you need to replace it but if your battery still lasts a while and you want to know where it stands in terms of health you can use Windows' built in battery checking tool to check it out. Here's how. Read More
How To Disable The Volume On Screen Display In Windows 10
When you increase or decrease the volume on Widows 10, or mute/unmute your speakers, an on screen display alerts you to the change in volume. It appears at the top left of the screen and stays on the screen for a minimum of five seconds. The alert appears on top of everything else you have open and because it's a system alert and part of the OS, there isn't much you can do about it. It can't be repositioned, it can't be disabled, and it can't be sent to the back of all active windows. If you don't like it though you have a few options to make it less annoying such as using Volume Step Adjuster. It's a free Windows app that lets you adjust the incremental values by which the volume increases and decreases but it also hides the on screen display you get when you change the volume. Read More
Adjust The Focus After Taking A Photo On Your iPhone
iPhones have some of the best cameras you can find on a smartphone. The iPhone camera not only captures absolutely stunning photos but it also often outperforms stand alone digital cameras. It's no surprise that iPhone users take a ton of photos or that the App Store has a dedicated category for photography related apps. Live Focus is a brand new iOS app available in the App Store for $1.99 and it is absolutely amazing. The app lets you capture photos and readjust the focus afterwards. Your phone must be running iOS 9 and above to use the app. Read More
How To Reorder Extension Icons On The Chrome Toolbar
When you install a new extension in Chrome, the extension's icon is added to the far right of the toolbar just before the hamburger icon. Likewise, if you sync extensions across multiple Chrome installations, or enable a disabled extension, the icons are added to the far right in the same order that they're added or synced. Other than enabling/disabling extensions, you have little control over when and where an icon is added. This is problematic because the difference in how the extensions are ordered on one Chrome installation compared to the other will often force you to look a little more closely at the icons before you click. As of a recent update to Chrome, this problem is easy to solve. Chrome now lets you reorder the extension icons on the toolbar simply by dragging & dropping them. Read More
Identify USB 3.0 & Charging Ports By Looking At The Symbols Next To Them
All USB ports are not created equal. USB might have become a universally accepted standard of connecting peripherals to your system but all USB ports found on your system aren't the same. Some are built to do things others aren't for example; you might have noticed that your phone charges faster when you connect it to a certain USB port and slower when you use a different one. While the slow charge might have to do with a problematic data cable, it might also be that you're connecting your phone to a slow charging USB port. What you need to do is connect it to the one specifically built to charge a device. Here's how you can identify the USB 3.0 and USB charging port on your system. Read More

It's a free iOS app that can solve hand written math problems. It can solve equations and plot them on a graph and can solve both simple problems and algebraic ones. Read More
Search Slack For Files By Type And Delete Them All
Slack is possibly the most popular messenger app used today by teams small and medium sized. It's possible even larger teams use Slack given how well it understands messaging needs in the work place. One of the things I love about Slack is how easy it is to find files in a conversation and that's one of the areas I think it really beats out every other messaging service. Slack Deletron is a free web app built to make deleting files from Slack easier. It allows you to search files by type that you've shared or that are private, and delete them one-by-one, or all in one go. You can search files by type and at present Slack Deletron supports filters for images, PDFs, Google Docs, snippets, and zipped files. Read More
How To Automatically Close The Edge Browser When Windows 10 Opens It
Microsoft is aggressively pushing the Edge browser on to users. With the present preview builds, it's undone the little hacks users had in place to route Cortana's searches through Google and their browser of choice. It's more or less a tug of war at present with Windows 10 insisting that anything that Cortana searches for be routed through Edge and users consistently saying No to it. For many Cortana is just a fast way to look search for an app but it will often turn a query into a web search and if you accidentally click it, Edge will open. Edge Blocker is a portable app that will automatically close Edge whenever it opens either by accident or by Windows. Read More
How To Find The Meaning Of An Emoji
Emoji started off as a cute way to express a sentiment that might have otherwise been lost in texting but you can't really restrict how an emoji is used and their usage has expanded beyond showing love, anger, hate, and sadness. People are now able to post an entire status update on Facebook using just Emoji and other people can apparently understand them. It's a actually becoming a thing and perhaps the only people who can save us now are grammar Nazis. If an Emoji takeover is imminent, you might need a dictionary to translate the little round heads and what they mean. For that Whatmoji is just the thing. It's a web app that lets you enter an emoji and tells you what it represents. Read More
How To Enable And Manage AutoPlay In Windows 10
We connect a myriad of devices to our computers; HDDs, SSDs, memory cards, phones, web cameras, etc. Windows can automatically detect them, find and install drivers, and set things up so we can use the connected device right away. It's a pretty awesome feature that makes most devices easy to use but Windows doesn't stop there. When you connect a device such as a memory card or external HDD it will open it and ask you how you want to access the device right away. This is the AutoPlay feature in work and it can get annoying especially if it pops up every time you connect a device or bring your system out of sleep with a device already connected. Here's how to enable/disable AutoPlay in Windows 10 and set the default AutoPlay action for an external drive and memory card. Read More
How To Add Apple TV's Aerial View Screensaver In Windows 10
Say what you want about Apple and it's products; they may be overpriced, over-hyped, and over-marketed but they are beautifully designed. It's hard to fault anything from hardware to software and it's often the amazing design that reels people into buying the products or giving them a try. It's hard to not want to check out something that looks so sleak. Apple has always made its products visually striking and this doesn't just go for the hardware or the apps it wants you to use but for everything you don't notice you're using such as a screensaver. The Apple TV has a truly breath-taking animated screensaver which shows aerial views of New York, China, San Francisco, etc. If you love the visual, here's how you can get the very same screensaver on Windows 10 using Aerial.

How To Auto Adjust Volume For Headphones In Windows 10
Windows, as far back as Vista, has been able to identify multiple audio input and output devices connected to a system. It lets you interdependently manage the volume for these devices and can change volume settings on the fly when a device is connected/disconnected. Windows 10 is no different but if you're headphones don't show up in the volume mixer this simply won't work. Windows 10 will detect the headphones as new hardware and sound will of course be routed through them but to manage them as a separate audio input/output device you need to add them first. Here's how. Read More
How To Sync Your Dictionary & Learned Words Between Android Devices
A good keyboard is defined by how much easier it makes typing, how well it picks up on your spelling errors, how accurately it can predict the word you want to type next, and how responsive it is. Android users have a large number of third-party keyboards they can try out until they find the perfect fit. For every keyboard you try, there will be a small period when you break it in first and teach it how you type. That is really the only challenge if you like everything else about it but this is also where it's a good idea to just stick with the default Google Keyboard on your Android device. The keyboard can save the words it learns from you as you type and sync them to all other Android devices that are connected to your account. Here's how you can enable dictionary syncing between Android devices. Read More
How To Configure A Pen & Tablet To Work With Windows Ink In Windows 10
Windows Ink is an exciting new feature coming to Windows 10 in the Anniversary Update. The feature comes with three special apps that work with a digital pen and is meant for touchscreen laptops or tablets. The built-in apps feature post-it notes, a sketch pad, and a screen capture and annotation tool. You can use the feature to find more apps built to work with Windows Ink. If you don't have a touch screen laptop or a Surface tablet, you can still use Windows Ink with a regular pen and tablet connected to your laptop. Here's how to set it up. For this post we used a fairly old Wacom Bamboo pen and tablet and tested it out on Windows 10 Preview Build 14342. Read More
Why Does My iPhone Ask For The Passcode When I Haven't Restarted It?
Every time you restart your phone, even if it's after an iOS upgrade, the phone will ask you to enter the passcode. Touch ID has to be enabled again for purchases in the App Store. However, it happens at time that it will start asking for your passcode even though you haven't restarted the phone. It isn't a bug and there's actually a good reason as to why this happens; it's because you failed to unlock the phone with Touch ID. Read More
How To Use Google Maps & Apple Maps On The Go Without An Internet Connection
Data plans can be exceptionally expensive and carriers will often bar messaging and call services from being used over them. You know you can't use your carrier's data plan to FaceTime mom and will instead have to pay the carrier a different call rate. Your carrier's data plan will let you browse the internet, Tweet, post to Facebook, or find a place on a map. If you're using a small data plan and trying to conserve bandwidth, the maps app is one place you can cut back. If you use either Google Maps or Apple Maps, here's a little trick to using it offline.

This Sennheiser headphone design is one of the earphones that can make you to hate speakers. In my opinion, the only headphone that comes closer to this model is the Gardo SR1 but you should be prepared to pay more. In addition, the Gardo SR1 is not as comfortable as the Sennheiser HD 600.

Pro-Israel New Yorkers Protest 92nd St Y's anti-Israel Speaker
Latest update: December 30th, 2013
"She can say whatever she wants, but not in 'our' building," was Manhattan attorney Robert Sidi's response when finding out that the 92nd Street Y was hosting vocal Israel-hater novelist Alice Walker.
Sidi was explaining to The Jewish Press why he showed up Thursday night, May 30, to stand outside the 92nd Street Y and protest the fact that a Jewish institution, built and maintained with funds from Jewish charities, was providing a platform to someone who "denounces, denigrates and demonizes Israel."
About a dozen pro-Israel New Yorkers joined Sidi last night, protesting the appearance by Alice Walker at the Y. Walker was at the 92nd St Y to promote a recent publication of a book of poetry and to talk "about her activism and her writing, her conflicting impulses to retreat into inner contemplation and to remain deeply engaged with the world."
Lainee Cohen Grauman and her husband Jonathan Grauman told The Jewish Press that they only found out about Walker's appearance at the 92nd Street Y two days before the event.
"It really riled me," Lainee Cohen Grauman said. "I liked her book, The Color Purple, but her politics and anti-Israel activities are horrible." Grauman ticked off several anti-Israel positions Walker has taken: "she was on the flotilla to break the blockade of Gaza, she tried to stop Carnegie Hall from hosting the Israeli Philharmonic, and now she is trying to get Alicia Keys to back out of her appearance in Israel."
Alicia Keys is a popular R & B singer scheduled to appear in Tel Aviv in July. In a public letter Alice Walker called on Keys to pull out of her commitment to perform in the Jewish State.
In the letter Walker wrote to Keys, "It would grieve me to know you are putting yourself in danger (soul danger) by performing in an apartheid country that is being boycotted by many global conscious artists."
Walker was not content to merely call Israel an apartheid country. She told Keys Israel is "unbelievably evil," "greedy" and "cruel," and that it is responsible for a great deal of global suffering.
This is actually a wonderful opportunity for you to learn about something sorrowful, and amazing: that our government (Obama in particular) supports a system that is cruel, unjust, and unbelievably evil. You can spend months, and years, as I have, pondering this situation. Layer upon layer of lies, misinformation, fear, cowardice and complicity. Greed. It is a vast eye-opener into the causes of much of the affliction in our suffering world.
Grauman tried to call the 92nd Street Y administration to ask why they were providing a forum for Alice Walker, but finally gave up after being repeatedly foiled by the switchboard. Not only could she not speak with anyone, she could not even leave a message.
"It was important to show up outside the Y for two reasons," Jonathan Grauman told The Jewish Press. First, it is important to send a message to the Y and to other Jewish institutions – they need to be put on notice that there are members of the Jewish community who do not want Jewish communal dollars spent supporting enemies of Israel. And second, we want Alice Walker to know that we are aware of her anti-Israel message and she will not go unchallenged."
Both Graumans concurred that it was important to go out and challenge falsehoods against Israel. "Walker's insistence that the land belongs to the Palestinians is not just anti-Israel, it is a rejection of 2000 years of Jewish history," Jonathan Grauman explained.
Richard Allen is the head of JCC Watch, which sent out the original notice about Walker's appearance at the Y.
"It is shameful that the 92nd Street Y is diverting Jewish community money for anti-Israel activities," Allen told The Jewish Press. "There has been a pattern – first with [BDS activist] Roger Waters and now with Alice Walker. And all of our efforts to speak with the 92nd Street Y administrators have been met with closed doors, closed ears and closed minds."
The Israel supporters who showed up outside the 92nd St Y last night to protest Walker's appearance had a rare opportunity: as she approached the entrance to the Y at about 8:00 p.m., they were able to engage Walker in discussion about what they claim are her severely twisted and untrue assertions about Israel.
Walker was insistent that the land of Israel does not belong to the Jews, but was given to them by the United Nations. And she insisted that the land already belonged to someone else – the Arab Palestinians. Repeated efforts by protesters to inform her otherwise fell on deaf ears.
One man wearing an orange cap repeatedly tried to inform her that the "land is ours," but Walker refused, at one point screwing up her face and asking, "Are you going to tell me God gave it to you? That you are special and nobody else is?" Her interlocutor, however, tried to determine whether Walker was familiar with the San Remo Resolution or the Balfour Declaration.
Walker's response? "I don't care what it says."
The San Remo Resolution was a reference to the 1920 San Remo conference at which World War I allies affirmed the 1917 Balfour Declaration pledging the establishment of a Jewish national home in Palestine.
Walker continued to engage with the protesters, although she became increasingly flustered. At one point one of the protesters said to Walker, "you are a hater and a liar."
"The names that you call me don't matter," responded Walker. "The truth stands." "Is it right for you to take other people's property? You are encroaching on other people's property. You are taking more than they gave you."
"And how about the suicide bombers," another protester responded to Walker. "They are taking lives!"
"Suicide bombers are wrong," Walker acknowledged, "but one wrong does not deserve another. It is also wrong to deny people common decency and health."
And so the two sides continued asserting their own views until Walker made her way past the protesters and into the welcoming arms of the 92nd Street Y.
Allen of JCC Watch told The Jewish Press the morning after the Walker event that his organization will be kicking off a "Close Your Wallets" campaign.
"We will be watching those institutions supported by Jewish charitable donations which host anti-Israel programming," Allen promised. "We want to know who is responsible for this kind of programming? Who is pushing this agenda?" And, he added, "if the Y won't stop it, will the UJA-Federation stop funding them?"
Allen echoed a comment made by Sidi, "this isn't about free speech, no one is saying Walker can't say whatever she wants, however false and hateful it is, but we don't have to subsidize it. And we want people to know this is happening with their money."
Late Friday afternoon Alicia Keys announced her rejection of Walker's effort to recruit her into the anti-Israel Boycott Divestment and Sanctions Movement, in which Walker plays a prominent role. Keys told the New York Times, "I look forward to my first visit to Israel. Music is a universal language that is meant to unify audiences in peace and love, and that is the spirit of our show."Lori Lowenthal Marcus

It takes a lot of power to stop a moving trailer, especially when that trailer is hauling a heavy load. On RVs, flatbeds, livestock trailers and many other oversize haulers, manufacturers typically install trailer brakes to assist the tow vehicle in bringing such a massive amount of weight to a halt. But it takes more than a good set of brakes to make quick, efficient stops. It takes precision and the right amount of control. Discovery is a time-based brake controller, meaning it applies increasing brake pressure the longer your foot is on the brake pedal. It has a digital display for easy monitoring and the ability to manage up to four axles at a time. Discovery mounts at any angle, anywhere in your vehicle and comes with an automatic power level adjustment feature to ensure you can stay better focused on your driving and spend less time worry about your trailer brakes. It is compatible with anti-lock brakes, cruise control and is backed by a limited lifetime warranty. All CURT brake controls are designed to work with quick plugs so that they can readily plug into your vehicle's original equipment socket. They also include a mounting bracket and hardware for easy installation. A brake controller should be mounted somewhere on the dash of your vehicle, and we recommend putting it below the steering wheel, either on the right or left side of the steering column. This way the control will not block your view when driving, but it will remain accessible and visible when adjustment is needed.
- Increases brake power over a preset amount of time
- Operates 2-8 trailer brakes at a time (1-4 axles)
- No internal moving parts and no leveling required
- Digital display shows power adjustments in 0.1 increments
- Mounts anywhere in the vehicle, at any angle
- Features fully adjustable power and ramp time
- Compatible with anti-lock brakes and cruise control
- Equipped with a quick plug for fast, easy installation
- Backed by a limited lifetime warranty

His holiday with his family has just begun, but a phone call sends Martin Beck packing off to Budapest, where a boorish journalist has vanished without a trace. With the aid of the coolly efficient local police, who do business while soaking at the public baths, Beck must troll about in the Eastern Europe underworld for a man nobody knows - while he is at the risk of vanishing along with his quarry.
The Man Who Went Up in Smoke gives us the dedicated Beck at his most engaging: indulging in the sumptuous Hungarian cuisine, longing for a decent cigarette, and evading a predatory nymphet, even as he pursues a case whose international boundaries grow with every new clue.

Golfer Phil Mickelson apologizes for tax comments
He's not sorry he's rich, but golfer Phil Mickelson has apologized for hinting that he would retire because taxes are hurting him, according to the Golf Channel.
"Finances and taxes are a personal matter and I should not have made my opinions on them public. I apologize to those I have upset or insulted and assure you I intend to not let it happen again," the onetime Arizona State University star said in the statement released Tuesday.
The California native is No. 7 on Forbes' list of highest-paid athletes at $47.8 million a year.
Mickelson had told reporters that "… I happen to be in that (tax) zone that has been targeted federally and by the state. It doesn't work for me right now, so I'm going to have to make some changes."
He had also said the reason behind his thinking was "what's going on the last couple of months, politically."
