text: Construction work to demolish and replace the City of Aiken's Laurens Street Bridge is expected to begin Monday and should be completed by late September, according to the S.C. Department of Transportation, meeting the completion deadline required to receive complete federal funding for the project.The bridge, which has been closed since a portion of it sunk due to heavy rains on April 2, is on schedule to be completely finished and opened to traffic by Sept. 28, said SCDOT program manager Kevin Gantt.The bridge was declared eligible for federal Emergency Relief funding, which includes a 100 percent reimbursement of federal funds for all repair and replacement work that occurs within the first 180 days, according to SCDOT. If work extends beyond the 180-day mark, the federal contribution would drop to 80 percent, and SCDOT would be responsible for picking up the 20 percent of the cost remaining, Gantt said."We'd like to see it done with the federal funding being at 100 percent and picking up all of it," Gantt said. "We think that is an achievable goal."Peter Poore with SCDOT said that the clock started ticking on the 180 days on April 10, when Gov. Nikki Haley signed an Executive Order declaring that an emergency situation existed at the bridge, and the Emergency Relief funding eligibility was set in motion.The replacement is expected to cost $2.5 million, according to SCDOT, and Crowder Construction has been chosen to perform the work.The new bridge will have an increased elevation of 23 feet from the bottom of the structure to the railroad track in accordance with new clearance requirements set by Norfolk Southern. The increased elevation will mean that once the project is completed, Colleton Avenue would still be accessible from Newberry Street, but the part of Colleton Avenue that intersects with Laurens Street would close permanently.While work is under way, the construction area will be fenced off on the north side of the bridge from the Christ Central driveway to the center median, and the southbound lane of Laurens Street will be two ways for the half block from the Christ Central driveway to the median cut through at Hoods Lane during construction, according to the City of Aiken.Gantt said that in the time since the incident occurred, SCDOT and the contractor have been talking with both the City of Aiken and Norfolk Southern regarding their necessary approvals for the construction, developing plans and acquiring equipment and materials.Utility relocation was required for SCE&G power lines and phone lines attached to the bridge, Gantt said.A portion of the bridge dropped more than a foot before the damaged concrete was removed from the bridge.Reporter Amy Banton contributed to this article.Anna Dolianitis is a reporter for the Aiken Standard. She covers the Department of Energy's Savannah River Site, as well as court and legal matters affecting Aiken County. She has been with the Aiken Standard since August 2010.

The New PornographersMore is more: That's the implicit credo of the New Pornographers. Masterminded by Carl Newman, the Pornographers are an army eight strong, most of whom have active careers of their own. Those careers sometimes conflict with tours, but for this initial round behind their excellent fifth album Together, all the principals are, uh, together. That means we'll get Dan Bejar, who records his own albums as Destroyer and whose knotty eccentricity provides three songs on each Pornos album ("Silver Jenny Dollar" is one of Together's highlights). And Neko Case, who forsakes her own beautifully sober solo work to add her powerhouse voice to the Pornographers' extroverted pop ("Crash Years" is her best of show). And, of course, Newman, whose solo albums (as A.C. Newman) are very good but who, fortunately, still shares his best work with his Porno partners so the songs end up with more hooks, more massed harmonies, and more pure pop pleasures.

E! Announces 'After Shock: Heidi & Spencer' an All-New Special With One of Reality TV's Most Notorious Couples
via press release:
Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt Discuss Their Meteoric Rise to Fame and Their New Lives Outside of the Spotlight
Los Angeles, CA — November 18, 2013 — In an exclusive special, E! goes behind the scandalous headlines, tabloid covers and over-the-top rumors of one of reality television's most infamous couples when "After Shock: Heidi & Spencer" premieres Monday, December 9 at 10:00pm. The hour-long special features the former prince and princess of reality television sitting for an exclusive in-depth interview, examining their past attention-grabbing exploits, the ups and downs of their very public personas and revealing their plans for a family.
Over the past 5 years, Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt (aka: "Speidi") went from being on top of the world as the villainous stars of the reality series, "The Hills," to living a quiet, suburban life in Santa Barbara. In their prime, they were the talk of Hollywood with their image splashed across magazine covers each and every week, lavish $10,000 a day shopping sprees, Heidi's extreme plastic surgery choices and paparazzi following their every move. They had the money, cars, the fame and all the trappings that come with celebrity, but when their show went off the air, their empire came crashing down. "The second [The Hills] ended, in 2010, the jig's up. Now you're irrelevant. Your fifteen minutes are up," Spencer tells E!
How does Heidi look now and will the famous couple return to the limelight or stay away from the cameras and settle on a quiet family life in Santa Barbara? Find out when "After Shock: Heidi & Spencer" premieres Monday, December 9 at 10:00pm only on E!

Read an Excerpt
Poland Abandoned
Wars in Europe have simultaneously been periods of social revolutions, and the Second World War is a good case in point.1 Indeed, one could argue that in Eastern Europe the entire decade from 1939 to 1948—despite the clear divide of 1945, which saw the defeat of the Third Reich—was one continuous epoch of radical transformation toward a totalitarian model of society, imposed first by the Nazis and then by the Soviets.2
While the war, it is true, had an enormous impact on every European society, producing both a new map of Europe and a new paradigm of European politics, Poland's case was unique among the belligerent countries because of the scale of devastation and upheaval under the impact of Nazi occupation from 1939 until 1945 (supplemented by the Soviet annexation of eastern Poland from September 1939 until June 1941).* As a
*On August 23, 1939, Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union concluded a treaty of nonaggression, known in historiography as the Ribbentrop-Molotov Pact after the names of the foreign ministers who signed the document in Moscow. A week later, on September 1, 1939, World War II began. As agreed between the signatories, the Red Army marched into Poland soon after the German attack. In the secret protocols attached to the August treaty, the Soviet Union reserved for itself a "sphere of interests" including Bessarabia, Estonia, Latvia, and the better part of Poland. The original demarcation line between the Nazi and Soviet zones of occupation—splitting the capital city, Warsaw, in half along the Vistula River—appeared in the September 25, 1939, issue of the main Soviet newspaper, Pravda.
On September 28 in Moscow, the German-Soviet Boundary and Friendship Treaty was signed and a somewhat modified territorial division of recent conquests was agreed upon. Stalin settled for only half of Poland's territory and drew the frontier eastward,
result of the war, the country suffered an unprecedented demographic catastrophe. It lost its minorities—Jews in the Holocaust, and Ukrainians and Germans following border shifts and population movements after the war. A third of its urban residents were missing at war's end. Poland's elites in all walks of life were wiped out. More than half of its lawyers were no more, along with two fifths of its medical doctors and one third of its university professors and Roman Catholic clergy. It lost its choice civil servants, army officers, and sportsmen. Several million people were displaced, either because they were deported, or because their domiciles were destroyed, or because the frontiers were changed. Somewhere between 41\2 million and 5 million Polish citizens lost their lives during the war (including 3 million Polish Jews), and several million more experienced imprisonment, slave labor, or forced resettlement.* The scale of material devastation matched the volume of population loss and trauma. Virtually every family in Poland was victimized in one way or another, and many catastrophically.
Particular devastation was suffered by Poland's Jews, an ancient community that was physically destroyed as a result of the war. No more than 10 percent survived the Nazi onslaught—some in German camps, some hiding among Gentile neighbors, most in the Soviet interior, where they fled or had been deported earlier by the Soviet secret police. While half of Poland's prewar territory was under Soviet control from mid-September 1939 through June 1941, a direct result of collaboration between Hitler and Stalin at the time, more than one million Polish Jews (out of the total of approximately 3.5 million) lived in the Soviet zone.
following what used to be known as the Curzon Line (a demarcation line suggested by the British foreign secretary, Lord Curzon, in a message to the Soviet foreign minister, Chicherin, during the Polish-Bolshevik War of 1920). In exchange for giving up a good chunk of Poland, including half of the capital city, he consolidated his grip on the Baltic states by bringing Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia into the fold. Two secret protocols were included with the treaty. The first one amended the boundaries agreed upon in August; the second, barely two sentences long, eliminated for the next two years the anti-Nazi Communist underground in Poland: "Both parties will tolerate in their territories no Polish agitation which affects the territories of the other party. They will suppress in their territories all beginnings of such agitation and inform each other concerning suitable measures for this purpose." We need to know these preliminaries to begin our story, which is embedded in the war experience of Poland's inhabitants.
*The often quoted estimate of total demographic losses—6 million—advanced immediately after the war was certainly an exaggeration. Dzieje Najnowsze devoted an entire issue to the study of Polish casualties during the Second World War. An eminent economic historian, Czeslaw Luczak, surveying the present state of research in the introduction to the issue, proposed a more likely total of 5 million—2 million Polish non-Jews and 2.9 to 3 million Polish Jews (pp. 12, 14). I am grateful to Professor Antony Polonsky for this reference.
Some 100,000 to 120,000 Jews were deported in 1940–1941 and forcibly settled in the Soviet interior, as part of broader repressive measures aiming at Sovietization of this area. It was the irony of Jewish fate that being subjected to Soviet repression had saved many Jews from death at the hands of the Nazis. In Polish historiography, the Jewish fate was usually presented as a separate story from that of the rest of Polish society. There was a kernel of truth in this approach, since the Nazis did indeed single out Jews for "special treatment," but it conveniently enabled historians to pass in silence over the complex phenomenon of interaction between Polish Jews and their non-Jewish neighbors throughout the period of German occupation. Polish neighbors had witnessed up close the extermination of the Jews, and they often availed themselves of the opportunities afforded by their attendant spoliation. The story of this opportunistic complicity with the Nazis is only now being told in Poland, and I plot it into the narrative as we go along since it provides a crucial background for understanding postwar anti-Semitism.3
The Underground State
Despite the violence of foreign invaders, it will be noted in the historical annals that Polish society confronted the horrors of the Soviet and Nazi occupations with heroism and resilience. According to Nazi racial doctrine, Poles were considered "subhuman" (Untermenschen). Unlike the Jews, however, the Poles were not scheduled for extermination but were relegated in the Nazi vision of the "New Order" in Europe to the status of slaves fit only for utilization as physical labor. In response to policies of occupation that denied them rights and material resources necessary for survival, Polish society mounted the most formidable and complex resistance movement that the Nazis had to face anywhere in occupied Europe.
In addition to an underground military organization, the Home Army (Armia Krajowa, AK), which at its peak boasted over 300,000 sworn-in members, an elaborate network of institutions was set up in occupied Poland, which together came to be known as the Underground State (Panstwo Podziemne). This "state" included clandestine versions of prewar political parties and a shadow government administration (Delegatura) headed by a representative of the legal Polish government-in-exile, which resided first in Angers and then, after the defeat of France in 1940, in London. A skeleton parliament functioned in the underground, bringing together representatives of the four main political parties—the National Democratic Party, the Peasant Party, the Polish Socialist Party, and the Labor Party, liberal in outlook—who regularly consulted with each other and the government delegate. Political leaders, the government, and the army command in London maintained contact with the home country through a clandestine network of couriers and radio operators.
The Underground State was funded by the government-in-exile, from London. Apart from supplying secret military and political organizations, this money was also used to sustain civil society including, for example, an illegal school system, a welfare network, and an organization, Zegota, that was set up in 1942 in order to aid Jews who were hiding from the Nazis. More than 2,000 underground newspapers and magazines were put out in Poland at one time or another during the occupation. Several made only an ephemeral appearance, with limited circulation, but others were published continuously for a number of years. The most important weekly of the Home Army, the Information Bulletin (Biuletyn Informacyjny), reached a hefty circulation of 43,000 copies. During the period of its most intense activity, the Warsaw office of the Bureau of Information and Propaganda of the Home Army used five tons of paper monthly.4
Henri Michel, the doyen of French historians of the resistance, could hardly be suspected of playing to a domestic audience when he concluded that the Polish underground had enjoyed a strength and a scope unparalleled in Europe.5 The story first became known in the English-speaking world when one of the most courageous couriers of the underground, Jan Karski (who brought direct evidence to Prime Minister Winston S. Churchill and President Franklin D. Roosevelt that the Nazis were exterminating European Jewry), wrote his slightly fictionalized Story of a Secret State.* It became a best-seller soon after its publication, by Houghton Mifflin, during the winter of 1944–45.6
The Underground State was the product of a broad mobilization of societal energies. It came about as a result of myriad individual initiatives, which were then institutionalized and put in a broader organiza-tional framework. One could have expected that such a remarkable
*Film and television audiences all over the world remember a lengthy interview with Jan Karski from Claude Lanzmann's film Shoah, in which he describes the circumstances of his mission and meetings with leading politicians in England and the United States, whom he informed about the tragic fate of the Jews.
collective achievement would provide a good foundation for postwar reconstruction. But it was not to be. As a by-product of Great Power politics and the division of postwar Europe into spheres of influence, all the efforts and sacrifice that had gone into the creation of this contested realm, this civil society that had defied a ruthless regime of occupation, were soon dismissed as a misguided and wrongheaded enterprise. Once Poland had been liberated by the Red Army in 1944–45, any earlier association with the so-called London underground was labeled a stigma and a liability by the emergent Communist organizers of the public order. Soon after liberation the Home Army was portrayed in propaganda posters as "a spittle-bespattered dwarf of reactionary forces" ("AK—zapluty karzel reakcji") and its veterans had to either hide their past or else risk arrest, internment, censure, or humiliation.* How did this situation—which led to a pervasive sense of historical injustice among a significant majority of the Polish population—come about?
Discovery of the Katyn Mass Graves
In the concluding stages of the Second World War, the Germans were being pushed out of Poland by the rapid advance of the Red Army. For the leaders of Poland's underground state, this was far from a desirable outcome. The Soviet Communists were regarded as the historic enemies of Polish independence. Twice since the October revolution of 1917, they had asserted their ambitions of westward expansion in military terms. In 1920, the course of the Polish-Soviet war "miraculously" turned at the outskirts of Warsaw, with fighting continuing until the eventual peace
*On September 15, 1944, the Political Bureau of the Polish Workers' Party (as the CP was known at the time) accepted the following text of a declaration that Home Army soldiers were supposed to sign: "I, . . . , having been sent to an internment camp on suspicion of negative attitude towards the only legal organizations of the Polish state—the KRN and the PKWN [Communist Party–sponsored organizations, whose genesis I later explain] and the supreme command of the Polish army, declare from my own unforced and free will the following: 1. I appreciate the activity of the KRN and PKWN as indispensable for our nation and in my further work I will remain loyal and obedient to all their regulations, as befits a Polish soldier; 2. I understand and condemn the abominable activity of the leaders of the AK and other affiliated organizations, who helped the Hitlerite occupier, and weakened the Polish army and the unity of the Polish nation by their diversionary activity . . ." and so on, in the same spirit, for two more paragraphs, promising in the end to aid "the KRN and PKWN" in combating these "pernicious influences" (Krystyna Kersten, Rok pierwszy, p. 49).
I wish to acknowledge my gratitude to Tim Snyder and Marci Shore for their efforts to come up with an English translation of the bizarre phrase zapluty karzel reakcji. We settled after a long discussion on "spittle-bespattered dwarf."
treaty of Riga.* And in 1939, the Red Army invaded Poland in collusion with Hitler, resulting in Soviet occupation of approximately half of Poland until June 1941. When Nazi Germany launched its assault on the Soviet Union in the summer of 1941 and the USSR finally joined the Allied cause, the Polish government-in-exile renewed diplomatic relations with the USSR.
The Soviet Union initially buckled before the onslaught of the Nazi war machine and welcomed all the assistance and friends it could muster. A period of intense Polish-Soviet engagement ensued. A treaty was signed between the two governments, and several hundred thousand Polish citizens were "amnestied" in the Soviet Union. A welfare network was established in the USSR to provide for the needs of destitute Polish citizens just released from labor camps and forced settlement in the Soviet interior. At designated assembly points, able-bodied men could join units of a new Polish army, which the Soviets agreed would be formed on their territory.†
But as the fortunes of war gradually turned and as the Soviet Union proved a formidable member of the anti-Nazi coalition, Churchill and Roosevelt developed an ever greater sympathy with Soviet territorial claims and security guarantees in postwar Europe. During their Big Three meeting with Joseph Stalin in Teheran late in 1943, they agreed that after the war the Soviet Union's border could be moved far to the west, at Poland's expense, roughly to the Curzon Line. In this manner, without consulting or informing the Polish government-in-exile in London, they sanctioned a territorial expansion reminiscent of what the Soviet Union had acquired as a result of the Ribbentrop-Molotov Pact in 1939.
As an emboldened Stalin began to maneuver for a postwar settlement that would eventually lead to the Communist subjugation of East-
*In Polish folklore and historiography, Jozef Pilsudski's counteroffensive, which pushed the Bolsheviks back from Warsaw, has been referred to as "the miracle on the Vistula" ("cud nad Wisla,"). August 15, the day he opened the counteroffensive, was celebrated during the interwar years as a national holiday in Poland.
†Prime Minister General Wladyslaw Sikorski signed the treaty with the Soviet Union in the face of vigorous protests by leading Polish politicians in London. The reason for their opposition was Stalin's refusal to guarantee Poland's territorial integrity in its prewar borders by renouncing the territorial acquisitions made by the Soviet Union in 1939. The pretext for Soviet reluctance was that the population of the occupied territories had allegedly expressed a sovereign wish to join the Soviet Union in a referendum held on October 22, 1939. (On the manner in which this "referendum" was conducted, see my Revolution from Abroad, chapter 2.) Nevertheless, Sikorski decided that he must sign the treaty without delay, for while territorial disputes could be settled in the future, hundreds of thousands of Poles lingering in Soviet captivity were in danger of death each day from mistreatment and destitution. To save their lives he thought he had to act immediately.
ern Europe, Polish-Soviet relations soured. Indeed, the deterioration had begun even before the Teheran conference. In the spring of 1943, the USSR severed diplomatic relations with the Polish government following the discovery of mass graves in Katyn.

In the summer of 1965, a group of activists descended upon Independence Hall, demanding equal rights for the gay community. The demonstrations, which were among the first organized pushes for LGBT equality, helped to lay the groundwork for the Stonewall riots in New York City four years later.
This weekend, thousands of gay rights advocates are set to keep that spirit of activism alive in Philadelphia. Starting Thursday, the city will host the Equality Forum's 22d annual global summit, an international, weekend-long LGBT rights event.
As Pennsylvania courts prepare to rule on a handful of same-sex marriage cases, this year's summit comes at an opportune time, said Malcolm Lazin, founder and executive director of the Equality Forum.

maddog learns a lesson about deprecated formats but finds a workable solution.
File Photos
Often I talk about documents and the importance of open formats, mostly oriented toward formats like the Open Document Format (ODF) standard versus Microsoft's OOXML specification.
Recently I was nostalgic and decided to look at some old photographs. At one point in my life, I took a lot of pictures with a 35mm film camera. To cut the cost of developing the pictures, I chose to have slides made instead of prints. Of course, slides are not that convenient to view because you have to set up a slide projector and screen.

- Guido changing four tires by himself in about four seconds.
"Pit stop."
- To amplify the awesomeness of this, a professional pit crew who was mocking him just a few seconds earlier can do nothing but watch in Stunned Silence.
- It's not as flashy as the tire change, but Lightning McQueen sacrificing the race for The King definitely counts.
Tex Dinoco: There's more to racing than just winning.
- Plus everybody (except Chick Hicks) realizing why he did it, and recognizing McQueen as the real winner.
- Another small moment: Red standing up to a stampede of tractors.
- Doc Hudson's drive around Willie's Butte, especially when he turns right to go left.
- And don't forget the long-awaited praise he got at the Piston Cup tiebreaker. Pretty much everyone was in disbelief—even Chick Hicks' own pit stop was in awe—and the WHOLE CROWD starts cheering that he was seen.

Next Act Theatre offers solid primer on Marxism with 'Groucho'
Like the Marx Brothers' early vaudeville show, Next Act Theatre's"Groucho: A Life in Revue" is a "skule" act. It gently and congenially educates the audience about one of America's great comedians, Groucho Marx, whose remarkable career included Broadway, movie and TV hits built around his wisecracking persona.
After a brief opening sequence, this revue, written by Groucho's son Arthur and Robert Fisher, unfolds chronologically. It's sentimental in spots, but heck, you might be sentimental, too, if you were writing a show about your father and uncles. It's not warts and all, but it does acknowledge Groucho's regrets about three marriages that ended in divorce. »Read Full Article

The best concert I attended this year was seeing Walk The Moon, Saint Motel and a bit of HOLYCHILD live at The Greek Theatre in Los Angeles. It was an incredible show mostly because of Walk The Moon, Saint Motel and the perfect weather at the magical outdoor intimate venue of The Greek, where almost a full moon led to an incredible night of catchy tunes.
Hozier is not the best musician I've seen live but he is a crowd pleaser, get's everybody involved in singing along to his tunes and has a great band backing a great voice. I had the pleasure of getting on the guest list for Live From The Artists Den production of Hozier live at Ace Theatre in Downtown Los Angeles. Hozier performed over 12 songs including an Ariana Grande cover which turned into a mashup with Warren G's "Regulate", it was really awesome to sing along to. Also his pleasant cover of Paul McCartney's "Blackbird" was beautiful as were his original songs from the Grammy-nominated singer/songwriter. He was magical on stage and I recommend seeing Hozier live. (more…)

Last night I got to catch two artists I've never seen or really dug deep into to be quite honest. However after the show, I left a huge fan, scanning the internet for as much of their material as possible as Brick + Mortar and Jeremy Loops were two incredible bands that got the party started on hump day last night at The Roxy in West Hollywood. This was the first night of their tour together and both DIY artists really impressed the young millennial audience by crafting jams that were hand-clapping, raise your fist in the air pop/rock fun.

Please give us a little background information about yourself (where you were born, what brought you to UCF, hobbies, what you studied at UCF, etc) I was born and raised in the Central Florida area and chose to go to UCF after completing my A.A. at community college. I came into UCF wanting to study Sociology but was led to focusing on Women's Studies. I am appreciative of the learning experience the Interdisciplinary Studies – Women's Studies Track provided me with, as I was able to take courses that focused on women and literature, women in society, mental health, social justice, feminism, and so much more. Who or what inspires you? People who fight for those who aren't able to- for those who have no voice, whose voices have been silenced, and/or who society deems as unimportant.

Are you a big fun of playing video games? Well, I am sure that you would like to know more about the hobby so that it can be more enjoyable. It does not matter whether you are looking to enjoy playing this game, looking for tips to help you as well as overall strategy, all of them you will find in this article.
Second hand Video Games
The truth of the matter is that video games are expensive and many people tend to spend a lot of their savings just to get one. However, the good news is that you can buy second hand video games which simply mean that you can save some cash. The best part of it all is that you do not have to worry about them being faulty or damaged because sellers check these devices just to make sure.
Techniques Of Buying games
When it comes to buying games, it is important to wait for at least three weeks to two months after the game's release date. The aim of doing this is so that you can save money buying them. Did you know that the first day a game is released they tend to sell quite expensively compared to how you will buy it after few weeks or months? Well, if you are looking for new games, it is advisable to consider waiting.
At the same time, you should first consider renting a game before purchasing. This is very important because you will get the opportunity to review the game first and judge if you are indeed going to buy them. There are games that you can buy and end up being boring that what you had imagined.
Finally, if you are interested in games that come with several sequels, it is advisable to consider going for the newest version of the game rather than starting from the beginning. In general, the newer it is the more interesting the title is going to be. However, if you are limited in budget, then you should consider starting from the first one and working your way up. The aim is to have a game to play and yet get the games at an affordable cost.
Checking The Game's Rating
It is very important to check the game's rate before buying any game for your child. As you are doing this, make sure that you have complied with the game's appropriate age by reading its review as well as other important details. NOTE: at times, checking game's rating is not enough and this is why it is very important to check out for other information through platforms such as online, social media and others.
Reselling or Trading-in Video Games
To save money even more on video games, you could resell you games through several platforms such as online website like Ebay, Amazon; social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, and others. Keep in mind that you are supposed to sell games that you have already played and completed.
If reselling is difficult, then it is advisable to consider trading in your old games with new ones or others. You may not know this, but you can trade your old games to the video game store, and you can get cash or credit toward new games. Therefore, you should consider asking around to get the best deal.
Playing Time
The truth of the matter is video games could be addictive, making a person spend the whole day and night playing the game. Therefore, it is very important to limit your gaming time to only few hours per day. Generally, it should not exceed more than three hours per day. If you are playing the whole day, then you should consider having breaks after around three hours of play.
If you follow these tips, then surely you are going to enjoy you game as well as get an opportunity to play as many new games as possible depending on the time you have. At the same time, these tips have shown you techniques you can save money buying new games or video games. In general, you are looking for a maximum gaming experience.With emoji answers you can get the maximum experience from the Guess the Emoji game.
In a nutshell, now you are ready to take your video gaming experience to another level. All that it takes is a bit of knowledge, practice as well as gaming passion to get your gaming experience and hobby to the next level.

Recently-renovated historic farmhouse and guest house with spacious gardens near the beaches of the Tuscan Riviera. The property sleeps 7, with 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms (a good fit for up to 2 families). This centuries-old, charmingly-preserved property in the peaceful foothills of Camaiore is an ideal base from which to explore the Tuscan countryside.
The main house is on two levels. The 1st floor features a gourmet kitchen, full bath with Japanese soaking tub, living room, study and 2 fireplaces; a master bedroom, bathroom and guest room comprise the 2nd floor. The guest house, which is included in the rental, features a glassed-in veranda with mini-kitchen, a bedroom and bathroom, and a covered veranda (a wonderful place to take meals!).
Amenities include wireless internet, a printer/copier/scanner, clothes washer & dryer, a dishwasher, large flat screen TV and satellite receiver. The upper 2/3rds of the 3000 sq. meter terraced gardens are completely enclosed, creating an outdoor retreat where children may safely explore. A BBQ, sports equipment, and lounge chairs are available for guests' use.
The property is ideally suited for families with babies and small children. A portacrib, Stokke high chair, children's dishes and utensils and lots of toys and books are available, and an excellent children's store is 4km away.
The property is located in the rolling foothills of Camaiore, whose downtown is a 4-minute drive or 15 minute walk. It is a 15 minute drive from the beaches of Viareggio and Forte dei Marmi, 40 minutes from Lucca and Pisa, 1 hour from Florence, 1.5 hours from Cinque Terre and 3.5 hours from Rome.
There is wireless internet, and a printer/copier/scanner for guest use. There are few more enjoyable places on earth to work remotely… laptop on the veranda, a glass of vino, jasmine-scented air and sunshine is as agreeable as it gets.
A classic country kitchen with a wood burning fireplace and iron fireback has been gently updated with a Fratelli Onofri 6-burner range and everything you'd need to prepare a Tuscan feast (or a cup of espresso to start the day). Baskets of staples hang from the beams above a bank of luxury appliances set in custom cabinetry with a local Carrara marble worktop. There is a full set of stainless-steel cookware and knives.
The property features three bathrooms, two in the main house and one in the guest house. On the first floor of the main residence, Venetian plaster walls frame reclaimed marble floors and state-of-the-art fixtures. A made-to-measure ofuro, a Japanese soaking tub, complements the large shower. A full bathroom with shower, sink and toilet are in the dressing room off the upstairs master bedroom.
Each bedroom features a European-sized queen bed (larger than their American counterparts). All beds have Magniflex memory-foam mattresses, which are hypoallergenic, non-toxic and supremely comfortable. We use only 100% cotton bedding and down duvets. The master suite features a custom armoire with antique chapel doors, exposed original fresco fragment and antique furnishings. The airy upstairs guest room has windows on three sides, exposed stonework and also offers a convertible daybed with trundle which can be set up as one twin, two, or a king bed, in addition to the queen bed in the room.
A terrace covered by a wisteria arbor connects the main house to the granaio, the property's former granary which has been converted into a guest house which is a complete living unit ideal for a couple. It features a queen bedroom and enclosed sun porch where you'll find a day kitchen with sink, small refrigerator and microwave. The guest house's compact modern bathroom includes a shower, sink and toilet. A covered veranda extends from the granaio, sheltering a teak dining table for traditional al fresco dining—the ideal place to take meals in the spring, summer and fall.
Fruit-bearing trees include olive, lemon, plum, kumquat, black and green fig, hazelnut, loquat, pear and persimmon, as well as thornless blackberries.
At the base of the property, ample parking is available for multiple cars. Old brick stairs lead to a secure gate, which can be opened remotely from within the house.
We are a brother and sister who spent summers growing up at La Rustica. We come back each year with our own small children--the third generation of our family to enjoy the peace and charm of this quiet hamlet alongside a major pilgrimage route. Our parents fell in love with this corner of Tuscany as a young couple and bought our property, restoring and updating the main house and converting a granary into the guesthouse. We recently undertook another update, bringing the bathrooms and kitchen up to modern standards--using reclaimed materials wherever possible, and period finishes and colors.
Jared Holstein purchased this villa in 1974
I am fortunate to work for a company that offers employees a month off every 7 years as part of our perks of the job (hooray!). I was even more fortunate to find this lovely and charming home (La Rustica)in Camaiore, Italy to stay for the entire month. First of all, thank you to our hosts Cassia and Jared for allowing us to stay in their home. We enjoyed every minute of our time there – in fact, we took days off from Tuscany travel just to stay at the house and thrive in the garden or stay under the covers during the thunderstorms. When we woke up our first morning to the wonderful sounds of the country and looked out the window to the Tuscan hills we had to pinch ourselves to know it was real. After a wonderful comfy night's sleep (the beds are dreamy!) we explored the entire house and the garden. We arrived at a wonderful time of year when you can still eat breakfast from the garden – pick a pear, pick blackberries, eat a fig, select a ripe persimmon. Oh my, we were overwhelmed with choices for breakfast fruit (to accompany the yogurt that wonderful Hannah had delivered for us upon arrival). We hung out in the hammocks under the trees, basked in the sunlight on the chaises and enjoyed our wine in the evening on the verandah, streaming music from the wifi (yes, it really does work on the verandah). Cooking in the country kitchen enabled me to tap into my inner Italian – which is tough for this Irish Polish gal but, remarkably I found myself wanting to use the amazing stove and every pot and pan in the kitchen. Who doesn't love pots hanging on hooks at a fireplace – it's like from picture books. I loved cooking every chance I could get. Top feature of the house from my boyfriend – the Japanese soaking tub!!! Wow, was he content to stay in that tub forever. Second favorite the downstairs shower – I think he likes clean but I love that shower too. This is definitely a home away from home and an ideal place for couples and families with or without children. It's a beautiful, comfortable, quiet place tucked in a corner of Tuscany and a perfect home location from which to visit almost all of Tuscany by train (Viareggio is very close with a very accessible train station) or car. The Cinque Terra is also close and certainly not to be missed. We'll be back for sure and we can't think of a place we'd much rather call home in Italy than this one. Enjoy!!!
We had the most wonderful stay here. My husband and I still talk about it and when we will return. The house is very, very comfortable and well equipped, the surrounding area is beautiful and peaceful, and the town of Camaiore is quaint and authentic. We spent one day at the beach, another in Lucca, another in Cinque Terre, one in Pisa and several days just exploring nearby towns and restaurants. We could have easily spent another two weeks here. The owner directed us to hidden gems - hillside towns, family restaurants, sights. The view from our bedroom window was so picturesque, and we loved the hearth in the kitchen. My favorite memories are buying freshly baked "donuts" from the bakery, walking through the falling leaves along the wall in Lucca, hiking between the towns of Cinque Terra, sitting in the warm, cozy kitchen with my family having a meal, the delicious and local food ... I could go on and on. It was a perfect experience and I can not wait to return.
We loved our stay at La Rustica. We chose it for a vacation with three generations of family— we still talk about our time there, and plan to return soon.
La Rustica is a very special place. The houses are beautiful and well-appointed, with the Tuscan charm you hope for, on a beautiful property, in one of the most beautiful parts of the world. The kids in our group, aged 2-8, loved exploring and running around in the large gardens.
The nearby restaurants, especially La Pieve, were so good—we ate many epic meals. We loved walking through Camaiore, having delicious coffee and pastries, perfect routines in a perfect place.

2009 So Cal WF Meet & Greet, March 27-29: Roll Call
The first annual So Cal Wrangler Forum Meet & Greet weekend has been scheduled for March 27th - 29th in the Anza Borrego Desert.
Come spend the day or the weekend! Meet some of the people you talk to on WF!
Camping: I've reserved three campsites that are next to each other for Friday and Saturday nights at Agua Caliente camp ground in Anza Borrego. We can have a total of 24 people and multiple tents. The sites will only hold 1 trailer or motor home each. One of them is mine for the duration, so the other two are still up for grabs. (We can get more spaces if we need them) We can check in as early as 2:00pm on Friday. Check out is at 1:00pm on Sunday.
As far as amenities go, I have an outdoor kitchen that I set up for anyone to use. There is a bathroom close by, water at each site and hot showers at the campground. There are also two hot mineral pools for camp ground guests to enjoy. We'll probably do community breakfasts on Saturday and Sunday and a spaghetti dinner on Saturday night.
Runs: I'm tentatively planning runs on Friday night, Saturday, and Sunday morning. There will be scenic runs and some challenging stuff. The desert will be beautiful that time of year and the wild flowers will be in bloom. There is nothing super extreme in Anza Borrego as far as trails go and stock rigs should be able to get through anything we do unscathed. (Or maybe with some assistance.) The only vehicle requirements are tow points front and rear, and a safe vehicle that is in good repair. However, you should also have a CB radio, working fire extinguisher and first aid kit. It is also a good idea to have tools, extra fluids and parts as you think maybe necessary.
This will be a family friendly outing, so everyone is expected to behave accordingly. Everyone is welcome. If you have questions, please post them in the other thread or PM me. Information will be posted in the other thread as it becomes available.
Please post in this thread if you plan to attend. What days you plan on being there, and how many people you expect to come. If you plan on camping, and if so, what you plan on camping in. Also, please tell us a bit about your Jeep
Sign-up list.
There will be pot luck dinner Saturday night. Please let me know (in a PM) what you will be bringing. I doesn't have to be from this list. I really didn't know what to put on it.
I'll go first:
I will be arriving on Friday and staying thru Sunday. I'll be camping in my motor home with my wife and perhaps one of my sons.
My Jeep is a 2004 Unlimited w/ 3.5" lift on 33's, D/L in the back, open front diff. Hi-lift + winch.
There will be 2 of us.
My son and I will be coming in around noonish on Friday. We will be departing around the same time on Sunday.
We will be tent camping (10x15 tent) I have a small ATV type trailer I use to haul all my goodies behind the jeep. I will be bringing Coffee, Alcohol and Beef. :D (what else is there?) I have all the basic camping equipment.
I have the CB, tow strap, Hi-lift, attachment points................
Jeep is an 02 X Open in the front and LSD in back.
If we are eating pot luck style we need to assign what needs to be brought. I shouldn't be the burden of one or two people.
Put me down as a maybe right now. I just had a meeting today about Arizona's Game and Fish Off Road Expo which I found out is the same weekend. However I ran this event last year and it got a little tiresome after 3 days. So I might decide to head out for this one and meet some of you all and hit some trails.
If I come I'll have my tow rig and trailer and will be sleeping in said tow rig.
I have been waiting for something like this to happen...unfortunatly I'll be on deployment. I'm bummed! Hope you guys have fun.
Just found this today (and only because Tiny has that cute little event timer on her siggy).
My son will be graduating boot camp the weekend before that, so unless he gets held up a week for some reason, count me in.
Me and my wife. Most likely a Friday camp out, long Saturday and 2 hour drive home that night. We'll be tent camping and have everything to survive and a bunch of stuff to thrive. Family oriented is all good (unless my crate breaks down, in which case please stand our of aural range when I'm laying on my back underneath it please).
Signature has most of my jeep details, but recovery gear including straps, rock jack etc a winch and a large first aid kit are always along for a ride (next to the tools and compressor).
Here's hoping I'm back from Illinois by this trip!
Looking forward to it! Larry
Count tiny and I in. Tentatively we will be staying and camping through the whole event unless something with Mouse comes up. At the very least we will be camping Friday night and wheeling Saturday.
I am in. I will be there for Sat only. Probably just me - might have my kids with me.
My Jeep is an 06 Unlimited with 31s, plenty of armor and an Aussie in the front.
if i wasn't etsing i would
Hi all.
I might be in. I have a 4 yr old daughter and was wondering if I should leave her or bring her (safety reasons of course).
O well, this sounds very fun. Put me down for a maybe. I'm definitely looking forward to this.
I have a 00 TJ with 33s and a 4' basic lift.
Wow, the OP made me salivate when he talked about the desert and all of the blooming flowers.
BTW: What would you like me to bring?
O well. Thanks for the invite and I will definitely try to roll. Count me in for Friday night and Saturday. Saturday night and Sunday morning are still in question.
Thanks again.
Woo Hoo!!!! It looks like I am going to be able to go, no work scheduled for me that weekend. My wife will also be attending. I hope to be there all weekend.
Cool Turd, I'll update the list when I get home tonight.
For dinner on Saturday, we are going to do a Spaghetti potluck for anyone interested in participating.
I'll bring: Spaghetti, marinara sauce, Italian sausage.
Other stuff we need: Appetizers, Salads / Dressing, Onions, Peppers, Mushrooms, Garlic bread (I have an oven we can use to heat it), Dessert, anything else?
I figure there will be about 10 - 15 people eating dinner with us.
Hey Pointy, will you do a chart in the first post to list sign-ups?
You're not Italian.
I'll be there. I'm bringing my roommate. And plenty of cold Pacificos :)
Jeep's nothing fancy. 33's, 5+" of total lift. LSD in rear, open front, 3.73's, no armor (but I'm not afraid to scuff the little bitch up!)
I do have a winch, pullstrap, and front/rear tow points. As well as onboard air.
Let's see, what else.......a little guardian angel that hangs above my rearview. That's important. :)
1 Attachment(s)
We are having dash plaques for the event made. tiny and Cain came up with the artwork and they look awesome. I'm getting 25 of them made and I'll have them at the outing. Cost will be $5.00 each, first come, first served, bring cash.
I will be there for sure. Wifey may get stuck working.
The wife just blessed me for the trip, I'm a little surprised since I've had two multi-day trips out to JV in the past 5 weeks. I should be out there Friday evening, could be late... someone save me and my tent trailer a spot please. Not sure if I'll be able to stay Sat. night too but I'm gonna try.
I can only suggest one thing that others may or may not want to go along with but it's something I and most everyone I wheel with adheres to... no drinking on the trail, even beer. I like to save that for the campfire. Since this is a family-friendly trip, I hope that can work for us all. I'll be bringing a little single-malt scotch for that. :D
I'm looking forward to this weekend.
Yup, and I'm sure I can speak for Unlimited and Cain on this point. We don't drink on the trail. It's a bad mix
There is a time and place for everything. Drinking while driving (or before driving) is just plain stupid and I keep a wide berth from people that do it so when the natural selection process begins, I don't get swept away with the rest of the retards.
Tippin' a few around a camp fire afterwards is just plain American fun and I do plan on participating in that.
Speaking of that, should I load some firewood and have the wife drive the pickup out there? It would make the camping loadout a bit easier for me and I think I'm about as close as anyone else...
No problem here. I don't drink then drive. Besides, it's alcohol abuse to spill it all over while trying to wheel. Better to save it for the campfire. :)
Hey everyone. Please check post #1 for Saturday night food details.
I will bring bacon and garlic bread. How many pounds of bacon do you think we will need?
Cain and I are bringing the appetizers, hope everyone likes southwestern egg rolls. We can also bring the salad if no one else claims it since there's two of us.
This is working out great. Just make sure you are able to keep anything with eggs or mayo in it chilled. Otherwise we will all be marking the trail. :eek::D

Macungie Borough Councilman Linn Walker pleads guilty to disorderly conduct
Posted: 3:48 PM EDT Oct 29, 2012
Macungie Borough Councilman Linn Walker on Monday pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct for an August incident in which he was accused of urinating on a neighbor's porch.
Under the negotiated guilty plea in the Lehigh County Court of Common Pleas, Walker was fined $150.
The court withdrew open lewdness and public drunkeness charges filed against Walker in August.
The councilman said in previous news reports that he does not intend to resign.
When the story was first reported in August, the 67-year-old Walker admitted he went to the bathroom outside, but said he went in the bushes.

Lewis Black bringing comedy back to Summerfest
In addition to drum fills, guitar solos and the cheers of thousands, jokes and laughter have been a recurring part of the Summerfest soundtrack. Bob Hope was one of Summerfest's first big headliners, with two shows at County Stadium in 1969, and in the decades since then Billy Crystal, Jay Leno, Dave Chappelle, Jon Stewart, Lewis Black and others have been booked to play a Summerfest stage or tent.
After 2007, the funny stuff appeared to be over at Summerfest. But Friday, comedy makes a comeback. Fest favorite Black is bringing along comedians John Bowman and Mike Wilmot as part of a special comedy day at the BMO Harris Pavilion. »Read Full Article(8)
'Revertigo' author Skloot appearing at Boswell
Floyd Skloot's new memoir, "Revertigo" (Terrace Books), covers many topics: a community theater production of "The King and I," New York accents, his mother's remarriage, books he tries but just can't read.
But its big subject is the unexpected, devastating attack of vertigo that struck him on March 27, 2009, and lasted 138 days. In putting together this book, Skloot writes, he realized "my work was exploring balance and its loss, how the forces of uncertainty and sudden change and displacement had shaped me since childhood, as it shapes many of us..." »Read Full Article
Jazz keyboardist Moran throws 'Fats Waller Dance Party'
As the swing era peaked around 1940, pianist-composer Fats Waller was as hot as it got. "Ain't Misbehavin'," currently lighting up the Milwaukee Repertory Theater's Stackner Caberet, demonstrates how Waller's catchy melodies enlivened dancers nationwide.
Then cool and contemporary jazz got more intellectual, as the dancers sat down or moved elsewhere and jazz began its long, continuing decline. »Read Full Article
