Shahzad hopeful of World Cup call
Watch session-by-session highlights of every T20 and ODI on ecb.co.uk/video
Ajmal Shahzad hopes he has done enough to warrant a place in England's 15-man World Cup squad, which will be announced on Wednesday.
After sitting out the whole of the Ashes, the Yorkshire paceman has finally been given the chance to impress the England selectors in the one-day series against Australia.
Despite James Anderson and Stuart Broad being Andrew Strauss' likely first-choice seamers at the World Cup, Shahzad's inclusion in the touring party to Australia has given the 25-year-old the chance to force himself into Wednesday's squad.
Shahzad, who has been on the fringes of team director Andy Flower's set-up for a year, was England's most economical seamer in the first one-day international and is hoping his performance in Melbourne will help him stake a claim for a place in the World Cup party.
"I don't know what they (the selectors) are going to do in regards to the World Cup squad," he said.
"Hopefully I've done enough. I'd love to be in there and keep learning and keep progressing and hopefully give the coaches and selectors other options but I guess we will see in the next few days what they go for."
Shahzad has spent long periods of the tour on the sidelines, but says his run of four consecutive appearances in the limited-overs matches has fuelled his confidence.
However, with limited international experience, he admits the need for more games before he can produce his best.
"I haven't played a lot of matches for England," he added.
"It's a confident feeling to get a few under the belt back-to-back rather than just getting called in now and again. I want to get a run and make the most of it.
"Personally I thought I did okay. I'm starting to feel as though I'm getting into a better rhythm now in regards to everything.
"It's been frustrating and difficult just to bowl at batsmen in the nets. There's only so much you can do.
"My batting, my bowling and my fielding - I feel like I belong on the pitch now. Hopefully I can get a decent run and show what I have got to offer."
Shahzad says he has been working hard on his game behind the scenes to try to book a trip to the World Cup.
"I give a little bit of everything to be honest with you," he added.
"I give a lot of energy in the field. I've been working very hard on my fielding and my all-round game when I haven't been playing in the Test matches."
Shahzad, who has only played five ODIs, also believes he has the correct attributes to succeed in the sub-continent, where the World Cup will be held.
"With regards to the ball I can control the reverse swing and obviously in the sub-continent that will be a key factor for us," he said.
"Trying to keep it tight and bowling at the death. I think I have shown what I can do when opening the bowling and bowling early on and finishing off the game at the end and obviously coming in late on and hitting a few balls out of the ground.
"Hopefully I can do enough to get myself in the World Cup squad."
Shahzad feels for veteran Paul Collingwood after the batsman was omitted from the side for the first one-day international at the MCG.
After the game skipper Strauss confirmed the 34-year-old had been dropped due to his poor tour with the bat.
While Collingwood has averaged just 13.12 in international matches since arriving in Australia, the decision to leave him out came as a slight surprise after being one of England's best one-day batsman over the past two years.
Collingwood enjoyed a stellar series in South Africa 12 months ago and has averaged 43.03 with the bat in the past 24 months.
But with so many of England's batsmen in top form in Australia, Shahzad said the competition for places means no player can afford to be comfortable of their place.
"Colly being dropped, it was the selectors' decision and shows they will only put the best XI out on the pitch," he said. "It's a good environment to be in - it's very competitive and it keeps everyone on their toes.
"From a personal point of view I've been sat outside the Ashes and not been involved in them.
"I think the lads have been performing to the best of their abilities because we have been putting the pressure on them. That brings out the best in everyone else."

Silver Seas Beauty
By Sofi
from Silverdale, WA
Comments about Levenger True Writer® Silver Seas Fountain Pen (M):
Your description of this pen does not do it justice. I've never had a pen so beautiful. It's silver seas, but also dawn light. I have two true writers now, and am giving one for Christmas to a fellow writer. Wonderful to write with, effortless. It's hard to say enough. If you like to write with fountain pens, get a true writer. I think the silver seas and the Kyoto are the prettiest.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

My Favorite Pen!
By thisissuzy
from Undisclosed
I have many fountain pens, but my Levenger True Writers are the ones I reach for most! They are always ready to write, and nibs are smooth and springy out of the box. The Silver Seas material is one of my favorites Levenger has ever done. If you use fountain pens, you should own at least one True Writer!
Excellent purchase
By danmelcul
from Bellmore, NY
This is my fourth Levenger pen and I have been always pleased with the True Writers. I have a small handwriting so I prefer the fine nibs; on the other hand, I like a rather wet flow in a fountain pen. As everybody knows, these are two rather conflicting criteria. Earlier this year I also purchased the True Writers in cafe au lait and foliage finish. I have quite a few more expensive pens in my collection; however, I find myself going back to the Levenger pens more often than not. No hard starts, no skipping, it is hard to believe you can buy such a high quality pen for under $100. The writing experience is a true joy; the pens are very comfortable to use and one can write hours on end without any hand fatigue. I would highly recommend the pens from the True Writer line. Levenger nailed this one, no doubt about it.
Like writing on ice
By swell
from Spokane, WA
I first tried the Kyoto, then bought the Silver Sea so I could have a True Writer in another color ink. The pen glides across the page with no resistance and no pressure so your hand doesn't get tired.Writing isn't the chore it was with other pens. I have scar tissue on my hand from surgery as a kid and the pressure of the pen when writing tends to inflame it. Because the True Writer doesn't require any pressure to lay ink on the page, that scar tissue doesn't get irritated and I can write for much longer periods of time. It has really helped increase my productivity!
all around use quality pen
By poppa
from Colorado
I got into fountain pens last year and have several brands. I've wanted pens to use everyday and to carry with me and look professional without the accompanying high dollar price. The True Writer gives me that. I use varying papers and this pen is always smooth, has good lines and is easy to hold and use for a while. It functions in the ways I desired and looks good on my desk.
Silver Seas True Writer Foundtain Pen
By Bookster
from Kansas
I very fine, very easy writing pen. It should satisfy anyone who uses a fountain pen. Recommended highly.
Fantastic pen
By IHCguru2
from Nashville, TN
The True Writer Sliver Seas is a beautiful design that is uniquely rocky looking and slightly iridescent. This gives a masculine elegance to it. The Silver Seas is a perfect fit for my medium sized hand and is comfortable and effortless to write with. As this was my first fountain pen purchase, there was a bit of a learning curve in writing with it, but I quickly learned to relax my hand and let the pen do the work. It gives a wonderful character to my handwriting and I find new reasons to use it. I love this pen and I will be buying another one.
long time coming
By splaat
from Payson, UT
I bought myself a True Writer Silver Seas fountain pen and a bottle of Levenger ink for my sixty-ninth birthday. Since discovering fountain pens in Jr. High School, it is the smoothest-writing, most satisfying pen I have ever owned. I intend to order another True Writer today.
Pleasure to use
By CharlieM
from San Jose, CA
This is my second True Writer and I expect to add more over time in different colors. This particular color scheme is quite elegant (as is my other one in Kyoto). Quality construction and materials give it a heft and balance that make it a real pleasure to put pen to paper. I receive compliments on my True Writer pens frequently.

This is a great pen. It writes very nice, and is a tremendous value.

Living with polio in Pakistan
"I always wanted to study but my dream to get higher education remained just that, a dream. I was unable to complete my Matric because of my disability. It would pain me immensely to see girls who were with me in school going to college and making something of themselves." Maria, while wiping her tears, was discussing the Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa (K-P) government's new scheme regarding free education for the disabled. Maria is 32-years-old and is a resident of Gulbahar in Peshawar. She was diagnosed with polio when she was one-year-old, soon after she got her polio vaccination.

Braille phones: Helping the blind connect with the world
It's sad that even with the leaps and bounds mankind has made in technology, there are no special offerings for the disabled or the visually impaired. However, with the launch of a new phone by a British company called 'OwnFone', their dilemma with technology is finally over. This new cell phone uses a braille board and finger pads to communicate efficiently and also includes the option of adding raised text so anyone, who can't read braille, can still make a call. Moreover, this wonder phone includes many common apps such as messaging and email services while some sets even have the option to play ...Read Full Post
Facing disabilities: Until we do something about it, no one will
Having a disability does not necessarily make you worse off; it simply means you have to do things differently. However, it is sad to say, our society is plagued with ignorance when it comes to meeting the needs of mentally or physically challenged people. A blind eye is turned towards the needs of these people and because of this ignorance we do not realise the fact that most of the public places lack the basic necessities, such as ramps, integral for the physically challenged. Apart from this, very few schools exist for children with developmental delays. In a social setup like this, it is ...Read Full Post
Hopeful: The story of my adopted disabled dog
The first time I saw Hopeful I was shocked. Could anything look so pitiful? I was expecting a healthy dog that just couldn't use his hind legs but what I got was a bag of bones with a protruding vertebra and red raw bedsores where the bone was visible at places. He was encrusted with months, perhaps years of faeces and smelled like a whole coop of hens. What really got to me was the thick rusted chain that was looped around his neck. For God's sake the dog couldn't even drag himself a foot away and here they ...Read Full Post
Photojournalist Farrukh: A true inspiration!
I first met Farrukh when I was speaking at the International Education and Resource Network (iEARN) event in Karachi. I saw him sitting there on his motorised chair smiling and listening attentively. As soon as I was done speaking, I stepped down from the podium and went straight over to him to sit down and talk. Farrukh is an inspirational human being because he has not allowed his physical disability to slow him down. Below his neck, he only has command over one hand, with the rest of his body paralysed. However, he is a photojournalist who just had his first exhibition this year. Farrukh's family ...Read Full Post
My experience at the not-so-swift NADRA offices
"What's so special about this special Computerised National Identity Card (CNIC)?" I asked. The man wearing the volunteer card replied, "It will give you small privileges over the rest of the people." "Such as?" I asked, curious. "You won't have to wait in any long lines, for instance, and all of your work will be done on fast track." Having visited a National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) office once before, I had learned not to trust any claim of this agency. But this was not any Nadra office — it was a camp organised by an NGO at a local university in Karachi for ...Read Full Post
I am blind, not disgusting
His name was Hamza and he wasn't born blind. He was the only son amongst five daughters and was not very well off.

They are differently abled, not disabled
Who among us has stopped at a red light in the inner city and not been visually assaulted by a dozen individuals with gross physical abnormalities walking, limping, crawling and rolling towards our cars? What we're observing is not necessarily poverty, but 'ableism'. 'Ableism' is a belief that only those with a certain set of physical and mental attributes may be counted as a normal part of the society. Those lacking such attributes must either hustle to fit into a non-compliant society, or remove themselves from the mainstream entirely. One of the most heart-rending sights you may come across is that of a ...Read Full Post
Why Barfi made me barfy
Last week I watched India's foreign film Oscar contender, "Barfi". This is the story of a young man who is deaf. He lives in Darjeeling and falls in love with a girl who he can't have. He gives up on her and falls in love with another girl who he can have, but not without the requisite twists and turns, including a murder investigation, a kidnapping, poverty, and a lot of singing and dancing. Oh yes; the young man is deaf, the first young woman is able to hear, and the second young woman is autistic. While the movie was beautifully shot, ...Read Full Post
My brother has Down's Syndrome, not a contagious disease
Coming from a closely knit family, it was a tradition for all of us to personally go and receive any relative coming to Karachi, at the airport. My aunt was expected and all of us including my youngest brother, who is a special child, suffering from Down Syndrome, went down to receive her. On our way back from the airport, we decided to stop at a restaurant to enjoy some family time. The restaurant was jam packed with people, as it was a weekend. Mostly families from the colonies nearby were there with their kids. We led my brother to ...Read Full Post

Comments: On a range-wide scale, no major threats are known.
Locally, threats include human impacts on spawning habitat and water quality, stocking or other introduction of non-native, predatory fishes, including introductions of certain forms of G. aculeatus itself.
Craig (1984) noted that large-scale industrial and petroleum extraction development in the Beaufort Sea could cause direct mortality as a result of intake of juvenile fishes with seawater and indirectly harm populations by altering coastal habitat, including water circulation patterns.
The California Department of Fish and Game (CDFG) recognized that increasing development along and recreational uses of the Santa Clara River were threats to the existence of the endangered G. a. williamsoni population (CDFG 1974).
In British Columbia, beaver activity has resulted in fluctuating water levels that have reduced access to some spawning sites used by the giant stickleback (currently recognized as G. aculeatus, but considered by some scientists to be a separate species, this fish is black in color and more than twice as long as threespine stickleback; occurs only in Mayer Lake, Queen Charlotte Islands; see sources in Rubidge 2000, Species at Risk Canada 2004). Increasing human recreational use of lake habitat also threatens this population (Species at Risk Canada 2004).
In Alaska and elsewhere, non-native species such as the northern pike (Esox lucius) and stocked salmonids may threaten sticklebacks through predation and competition for juvenile food resources (Hatfield 2001a, Hatfield and Ptolemy 2001, Foster et al. 2003, Wood 2003).
Hybridization between different forms of G. aculeatus threatens the unique genetic characteristics of specific populations recognized as rare or divergent; extensive hybridization between the native G. a. williamsoni (unarmored) and introduced G. a. microcephalus (armored) forms in California contributed to declines in the now endangered G. a. williamsoni (CDFG 1974, Moyle 1976b, Fuller 2005).
Comments: On a range-wide scale, no major threats are known.

It's been mostly more of the same for international-stock funds so far in 2016.
In the global financial markets, most of the developments that were in place halfway through this year remain intact as we head into the final quarter of 2016. As a result, the performance results in the Morningstar Categories for funds look much like they did at the end of the second quarter.
Most notably, developed European markets--and thus funds that focus solely on that continent--have continued to struggle. In fact, through Sept. 23, the Europe-stock category was the only one of the 15 international-stock groups in negative territory for 2016, with an average return of negative 0.5%.
The poor showing of many European markets had a damping effect on funds in the more popular, broad international categories as well. On average, foreign large-cap funds have about 60% of their stock assets invested in developed Europe. Not surprisingly, the foreign large-value, foreign large-blend, and foreign large-growth categories take up three of the next four slots at the bottom of the rankings. Even so, these categories managed to outpace the dismal performance of the Europe-stock category, posting positive year-to-date gains ranging from 3.3% to 4.0%.
Many of the broadly focused large-cap funds managed to post modest gains partly by treading lightly in the most troubled areas of the European market. Avoiding the big banks generally has paid off. For example, Credit Suisse CS and Deutsche Bank DBare down more than 30% each so far this year, and Italian banks, including UniCredit UNCFF and Intesa Sanpaolo IITSF, have been hit particularly hard.
Holding stocks in Japan also helped many broadly focused large-cap funds overcome the malaise in Europe. While Japanese stocks--which make up a substantial portion of many broad international portfolios--have had a tough year for the most part, currency gains have helped offset that. The yen has risen sharply against the U.S. dollar this year, and the returns of funds that are unhedged or mostly unhedged--the vast majority of international-stock funds--get a boost when the currencies of countries in which they're invested climb versus the dollar.
Meanwhile, emerging markets have been a bright spot for investors. The huge rally in Brazil's stock market and currency fueled gains for many funds bold enough to own the right stocks in that country. That might seem puzzling; Brazil's economic difficulties and corruption concerns haven't improved much since those issues helped drive that country's market and currency way down in 2015. But a perceived resolution of the country's political crisis, with the embattled president being impeached and eventually replaced, seems to have calmed global investors to some degree. Rising commodity prices also helped. (They also helped Russia and Canada, whose markets and currencies have rebounded this year as well. Europe-stock funds didn't benefit from the revival in Russia's market or in the ruble, though, because those region-specific funds overwhelmingly steer clear of the continent's emerging markets, such as Russia and Hungary.)
The rebound in Brazil's market and currency is the main reason why the Latin America stock category stands as the top performer of all 15 international-stock categories for the year to date, with a gain of more than 30%. Brazilian holdings make up more than half of the portfolios of nearly all pan-Latin America funds.
Brazil and Russia weren't the only emerging markets providing solid gains in 2016. That explains why the diversified-emerging-markets category is second only to the Latin America group in the rankings thus far this year. Many Asian emerging stock markets and currencies have posted nice gains for the year to date. The strong third-quarter showing of China's market, in fact, has offered one of the few major contrasts between this period and the first half of 2016.

The Tap Pre-Show: See the Last Bison perform 'Switzerland' in our studio
The Last Bison is a family affair. Actually two families. Frontman Ben Hardesty's father Dan does the banjo and mandolin, with Ben's sis Annah on bells and percussion. Andrew Benfante handles reed organ and the melodica, and brother Jay is on drums and percussion. Then "honorary relatives" Teresa Totheroh (Annah's best friend) plays violin, with Annah's boyfriend Amos Housworth on cello.
With their talents combined the Virginia folk revival act has made one of my favorite songs so far this year "Switzerland," appearing on its debut album "Inheritance" for Republic Records (home of the Avett Brothers and Of Monsters and Men). The combination of whimsical xylophone and banjo, the beauty of violin and cello, and the gruff passion of Ben Hardesty's voice really gets under my skin. »Read Full Blog Post

COLUMBIA South Carolinas Medicaid agency is working to process thousands of applications backlogged through the federal online marketplace.
As of Aug. 1, the state Department of Health and Human Services had reviewed more than 60 percent of the 38,000 applications the federal government began transferring in mid-February. Of those, 13,000 await more information from the applicant.
The agency should be caught up within a couple of weeks, meeting a self-imposed goal it gave federal officials last month, said deputy director John Supra.
We believe were on track, he told The Associated Press.
Six temporary employees hired since July 1 are helping with the paperwork, and employees are working overtime to determine applicants eligibility. Of the decisions made so far, 56 percent are approvals. Many others who filled out a form through HealthCare.gov were already enrolled in Medicaid.
The applications date to Oct. 1, when the problem-riddled federal website went live. South Carolina is among the 36 states that chose not to run its own online exchange, leaving that responsibility to the federal government.
The website was designed to help people buy private, government-subsidized insurance under President Barack Obamas health care overhaul. If shoppers made too little to qualify for subsidies but likely qualified for Medicaid, the site was supposed to send their data to the Medicaid agency in their state. But Medicaid directors were notified in mid-September those transfers wouldnt immediately work as planned.
South Carolina didnt start receiving transfers until Feb. 12; most of the backlog had transferred by early April. The state agency has yet to receive an estimated 5,000 to 6,000 applications filled out through the federal site, according to the agency.
Even with the glitches, the agency could have been better prepared for the applications it knew was coming, said Sue Berkowitz of Appleseed Legal Justice Center.
Its a huge problem, she said Monday of the state backlog. Im a little surprised they werent ramped up to begin with.
Normally, the state takes a median of six days to process Medicaid applications.
The states delay in determining eligibility is partly due to unusually high numbers 40 percent, or about 15,000 of the transferred applications seeking coverage due to a disability or for long-term care. Thats double the 20 percent of applicants who sought such coverage through state applications submitted over the 2013-14 fiscal year, according to the agency.
Determining eligibility for those applicants is much more intensive, said deputy director Beth Hutto.
State officials attribute the increase to a single, possibly confusing question on the federal application. Applicants were asked if they have a disability that interferes with their daily activities. But people can have a chronic condition that impacts daily living without fitting the Social Security Administration definition of a disability, agency officials said.
Officials stress that, for those eventually deemed eligible, their coverage will be retroactive to the date of their application.
Berkowitz said the concern is that, until they get their Medicaid card, theyll wait and get sicker and get more expensive and possibly harder to treat.
In South Carolina, parents qualify for Medicaid if their take-home pay is up to 50 percent of federal poverty guidelines. The federal law intended for states to increase coverage to 138 percent of poverty and include childless adults, but the U.S. Supreme Courts decision made that an option, not a mandate.
South Carolina is among states not expanding Medicaid eligibility. The states Republican leaders have repeatedly refused, leaving a gap between those who qualify for Medicaid and those who qualify for subsidies.
However, as expected, the state has seen a rise in the number of people seeking Medicaid coverage.
As of April, nearly 1.1 million South Carolinians received health care coverage through Medicaid, or more than 20 percent of the states population. Thats nearly 169,000 more than Medicaid covered in 2012.

The Week 13 BCS rankings were released on Sunday night, and though there wasn't a major amount of movement, some significant developments still emerged.
Week 12 was an exciting one, but at the end of the day, it was also rather chalky. Near-upset bids were thwarted by Auburn and Central Florida, leaving Stanford as the only team among the top 22 from last week's BCS standings that lost.
But even in spite of all the favorites who won, some teams made important advances in the rankings, while others were losers as a result of those climbs.
Who made out the best and who made out the worst? Here's a quick look.

With the Archdiocese of Philadelphia lifting his suspension Wednesday, Pope John Paul II baseball coach John Duffy will be back on the bench Thursday afternoon for the PIAA Class AAA state quarterfinal against Northeastern.
Duffy, who had to sit out four games for his actions during the May 14 loss to Methacton in the Pioneer Athletic Conference championship game, will return in a limited capacity.
"Coach Duffy has not been formally reinstated as the head coach," archdiocese spokesman Kenneth Gavin wrote in an e-mail. "He is being permitted to attend the remaining state-championship games, but is confined to the dugout and may only serve as an assistant coach. His verbal interactions will be limited to the dugout only."

Put yourself in the center of fascinating events, discussions and judicial proceedings as a realtime court reporter: the person entrusted with making an accurate, verbatim record of everything spoken in the courtroom. In America's judicial system, court reporters are indispensable. They are the eyes and ears of the courtroom while reporting the official record.
Most judicial proceedings cannot start without a court reporter present, because in the judicial world, if it's not in "the record," it didn't happen.

Ama Ata Aidoo is undoubtedly one of Africa's finest contemporary literary figures. For the past 40 years her writing has been at the vanguard of post-conquest interrogative and reconstructionary exposition in Africa, following in the footsteps of those female visionaries of an earlier literary generation – Flora Nwapa, Mariama Bâ and Grace Ogot. Born in Abeadzi Kyiakor in Ghana's central region, Aidoo attended Wesley Girls School, Cape Coast, and the University of Ghana at Legon from where she graduated in 1964. This was the same year that she wrote her first play, Dilemma of a Ghost, which was performed at the university by the Student's Theatre. Later that year the play was produced in Lagos and Ibadan (Nigeria) to great …

Kameo: Elements of Power
Rare is back...for better or worse.
Anyone who is well-versed in Rare's traditional naming conventions could quickly and accurately hypothesize on what Kameo is all about: taking the forms of other creatures. In a similar fashion as The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask, the titular heroine is bestowed with transformational powers that allow her to do many, many different things: scale walls made of ice, dig and move underneath the ground, spew forth burning flame, turn into a mini-submarine, and even launch destructive mortar rounds from afar. Each of Kameo's 10 forms has a specific navigational or puzzle-solving function, and the core mechanic is switching between these forms when called for. But because there's so many elemental forms, the ones that have decent combat skills end up being used far more often than the other forms that are highly situational. For example, the armadillo Major Pain can curl up into a ball and jump up ramps, roll through tight corridors, and charge up a spin attack. The terribly-named 40 Below, however, is only really good for one thing: rolling down a pair of ice slides that only appear when you play as 40 Below.
This is but one example of the apparent discord between Kameo's character design and its level design: because there are quite a few different forms each with multiple upgradeable abilities, but you only depend on a handful (and never really need to worry too much about upgrading), it's almost as if your powers overwhelm the rarely-challenging puzzles, obstacles and enemies. At the beginning of the game you may worry about having enough elemental fruit to upgrade every ability of every avatar, but because the levels are relatively small and the game is pretty short (between 10-15 hours), there's a lot of wasted potential.
Kameo tries very hard to generate an epic feel, with an open overworld that has a full-scale Lord of the Rings style war waging in the background. But aside from a few required objectives that put you into the midst of the battle, the background is mostly noise. Very pretty noise, to be sure -- we should be happy that the new consoles can render so much activity at one time -- but the actual adventuring you do is fairly traditional. Kameo goes to a town, solves some sort of pathfinding puzzle through it, defeats a dark elemental (a battle that quickly gets repetitive), then proceeds through a small dungeon to a boss fight. The problem is that instead of invoking the sense of grand adventure, genre fans will likely find it very procedural. Figuring out how to do anything in the game is more "Oh, that makes sense," instead of "Wow, that's really clever!"
But it's such a pretty trip, you may not mind going through the motions. If you can get past the terrible character design (welcome back, Rare) and cliché-ridden story, there's an amazing amount of technical eye candy going. Particle effects, lighting effects, explosions, flame and water -- it's quite a sight to behold -- especially if you are blessed with high-definition television. Kameo is also, quite possibly, the most colorful game ever created. But at times, there can be too much going on to the point of distraction -- that there's so much visual information being presented to your eyes, your brain can't find the solution to a simple door puzzle hidden behind the lush greenery. But if this happens to be a problem with powerful next-gen systems, it's one worth enduring.
What all of this means is that for better or for worse, Rare is still very much Rare: inspiration is taken from multiple sources, a solid-but-unspectacular game is built on that inspiration, every imaginable color and graphical effect is dumped on top of it, and everyone is given an awful pun for a name. To bring in a little bit of that aforementioned corporate drama, Kameo is the evidence that Microsoft ended up getting exactly what they paid for.
Editor's Correction (11/15/05): The name of the armadillo character is "Major Ruin," and not "Major Pain." 1UP regrets the error.

Saint Purrtrick: This amazing and saintly cat loves comfort so will arrive if a Kotatsu or Silk Crepe Pillow is present.
Ms. Fortune: Charismatic and cute, leave out a Cardboard House and she will pay a visit.

Chairman Meow: Leave out the Earthenware Pot or Sunken Fireplace to see him appear.
Billy the Kitten: This cow-cat wants the Cowboy Hat in order to show up.

Lady Meow-Meow: Only the best for this star, the Luxurious Hammock and no Thrifty Bits brings her out.

Of course, you won't see these rare cats the moment you put the relevant items down but in time you'll hopefully manage to spot them. Have fun!

от mookyisland 10 април 2014
Mook (noun) Originally referred to an Italian-American male; similar to Mick in reference to an Irish-American male; Modern use extends beyond ethnicity, gender, and income levels to refer to a average person inclined not to be athletically or mentally gifted, especially in the moment or during a particular situation. Mook is used as either a humorous (knucklehead) or derrogative (jerk) expression of humanistic imperfection or inappropriatness, such as to describe a person's clumsiness or loudness. The word is most often heard in the NE region of the United States, particularly New York City, Atlantic City, Philadelphia, and Boston.
Hear "What a mook!" in a ballpark when a baseball player drops an easy fly ball or to describe a person having no worldly knowledge beyond his neighborhood. Two brothers reply "...because we are just a couple of Mooks!" when asked why after graduating from elite universities they ended up doing PBS talk radio about automobile repairs. The word mook is best applied with a Bronx, Philly, or New Jersey shore accent.

Singing, acting both stellar in 'Figaro'
Actors are taught to act and opera singers are taught to sing - and all too rarely do the twain really meet.

While her father is out of town on business, her mother takes a lover. When her father comes home, Mom and her new consort stab him. She herself is thrown out of the house. Her baby brother now lives in exile.
No wonder Electra has a complex. The question is whether her righteous anger regarding the murder of her father (Agamemnon) can justify plotting with her brother (Orestes) to murder Mom (Clytemnestra) and Mom's new squeeze (Aegisthus). »Read Full Article

It has been a strange few weeks here in the UK and while we wait for the dust to settle, it could be some time before we see any sort of impact on the global aluminium industry.
After talking to a number of industry representatives, there is quite a lot of confusion at the moment and it seems the future will very much depend on the individual circumstances of UK companies.

HAMILTON -- Suzanne Albanese already knows quite a bit about her roommate for the National Field Hockey Festival. Daughter Olivia will bunk with Albanese at the annual extravaganza that has been described as the largest amateur field hockey event in the world. The mother and daughter from Hamilton Township will work as officials at the festival Nov. 28 to Dec. 1 in West Palm Beach, Fla.
Albanese, who was a standout student-athlete at West Windsor-Plainsboro High School and the University of Delaware, fell in love with field hockey many years ago.
She has remained devoted to the sport.
In addition to her work officiating games -- mostly at the college and high school levels -- she has supported the mission of the United States Field Hockey Association, including efforts to boost the number of players in the nation.
"Its goal is to attract young boy and girl players to the sport and to get them playing in a fun atmosphere so they develop a love for the sport," Albanese said.
She has already brought new players into the field hockey fold.
A physical education teacher at Our Lady of Sorrows School, Albanese incorporates field hockey into her lesson plans. A host site for USA Field Hockey's FUNdamental program, OLS students get a chance to play the indoor and outdoor versions of the sport.
"Even before I got the grant (which provided equipment and other necessities to run the program), the school allowed me to have the gym once a week after school and I invited anyone who wanted to play indoor field hockey," Albanese said. "I was delighted. It's hard to get gym space."
She wasn't the only one who was delighted.
"The kids liked it so much I decided to apply for the grant," she said.
Hockey is a hit with the girls -- and the boys -- at OLS.
"Hockey is big at our school," Albanese said. "There 230 kids and they all have the opportunity to play: the kindergartners, my first-graders and second-graders, all the way up to eighth grade.
"No matter what, if they're going to go on to play at the higher level, they just love it right now."
They're so excited about it they played in a "FUNdamental Championship of the World" which was accurate as long as the world is Mercer County. Albanese's OLS squad battled the participants in Tracy Arndt's Princeton Day School FUNdamentals program.
Previous high-aliber competition came for two OLS students who participated in an Under-16 event at the 2013 National Indoor Tournament in Richmond, Va. Nick Wilke, then a fifth-grader, and Henry Kelly, a sixth-grader, made an impression at the festival as they each contributed to a championship effort. The ever-improving newbies landed on the stage wearing first-place medals. Albanese was at the same event serving as an umpire.
Albanese's school and personal calendars are loaded with hockey assignments.
She'll have something special planned to recognize Saturday, Sept. 14 as the second annual celebration of USFHA's Field Hockey Day.
There are fundamentals to be taught and games to be reffed. Albanese and the rest of her field hockey-loving family have plenty to cheer about, too.
In addition to officiating, Olivia Albanese plays club hockey at the University of South Carolina.
Middle child James is an accomplished diver, who also helps as a volunteer coach working with the field hockey goalies at Hun. And following in the footsteps of her siblings, Sophia is a freshman at The Hun School where she plays field hockey and lacrosse.
The field hockey lineage actually goes back a little further than their mom.
"I started playing in the seventh grade because my mother played for her high school," Suzanne Albanese said. "They had a very good team. Just knowing she played and they were a championship team, I knew that when I had a chance, I was going to play, too."
She had a well-rounded athletic experience -- she excelled in swimming and diving, basketball, track and field, and also was a cheerleader -- and the sport that stuck with her was field hockey.
She's hoping that field hockey sticks with many other people, too.

Atlas: Algieri Could Be Getting Pacquiao at The Right Time
By Bill "Two Scoops" Emes
Teddy Atlas, expert analyst for ESPN's Friday Night Fights, is giving WBO junior welterweight champion Chris Algieri (20-0, 8KOs) a shot to unseat Manny Pacquiao (56-5-2, 38KOs) for the WBO welterweight crown on November 22nd at the Venetian in Macau, China. Algieri earned the HBO Pay-Per-View fight with an upset twelve round decision over Ruslan Provodnikov on June 14th.
Atlas is officially picking Pacquiao to win, but he points out that he also picked Provodnikov to win back in June [and Atlas scored it for Provondikov]. With Pacquiao's age, his many wars of the years and his numerous things going on in his personal life - Atlas says Algieri could very well be catching the Filipino star at the right time.
"I thought Ruslan was going to have his way. Obviously he didn't completely have his way, he lost the fight. Like I said, I thought [Provodnikov] won the fight, but look it was a tough fight. Pacquiao is getting older, Pacquiao has a lot of miles on the tires, Pacquiao has been around a long time. Pacquiao has been in a lot of rough wars and he has a lot of personal problems. He has a lot of stuff tugging at him. From what I can see, a young guy like Algieri doesn't have anything tugging at him, he doesn't have many miles on that odometer," Atlas told BoxingScene.com.
"[Algieri] doesn't have the experience, he doesn't have talent, and the skill set as Pacquiao either. But you never know when a guy like Pacquiao gets a little old or when all of those things tugging at him pulls him too far in one way....politics, marital problems, religious problems, he owes money to the tax man over there - all of that stuff can impact you. Maybe Algieri is once again in the right place at the right time."
[QUOTE=radiotracer;14780437][QUOTE=TrueBoxingFan23;14780411] floyd just needs to pick pac so the world will shut the f up already. Until then if it looks like a duck, smell like a duck, quacks like a duck then it must be a duck.[/QUOTE] until then…Comment by Mr. Punch-Out!! on 07-21-2014

[QUOTE=hitking;14781348]Sad thing is, if Algeri does pull the upset. It will be seen as "he caught Manny at the right time" moreso than Chris being a good fighter. And I don't think that's fair. This isn't a known comodity like…Comment by Twako on 07-21-2014

By Jessica Cassyle Carr
On a mission to make Albuquerque more artful, Crystal Sims organized the first Craft Punk Fashion Show in 2007 and a second in 2009. The third befalls Burque this week on spooooky Friday the 13th (cue foreboding organ music).

Together they host Baby Ketten Karaoke at Nob Hill Bar and Grill and Atomic Cantina, and now Nate Santa Maria (The Oktober People, Excalico) and Isaac Kappy ("Time Cougars," that guy with the afro who you see all over the place) also have a Moog-y act called Monster Paws. While the duo performs publicly for the first time this week at the Craft Punk Fashion Show, Monster Paws tracks—offering such titles as "The Helicopter Song," "Exercise Machine" and "Champagne Bike Ride"—are already available "early for your earlets" on the band's website. Below, by e-mail, Santa Maria makes us more familiar with his new project.

'A Lot About Living'
Alan Jackson • country
By Joshua Lee
As Ludwig von Beethoven once said, "Music is the mediator between the spiritual and the sensual life." Those words still carry weight, even now: a thousand years later. And you'll find no better example than the incomparable Alan Jackson, whose voice and countenance rival those of the gods, as though he were hewn from the heart of the sun itself. His honky tonk tunes are swords of righteous terror and beauty which melt the eardrums of devotees, lost in reverie as they bathe in the glorious golden ambiance of his mustache. He'll be playing live at the Sandia Resort & Casino on Friday, Sept. 30. Take a gander.

So Chrome Sparks apparently has a few hours open in his schedule to visit ABQ—somewhere in between juggling his gajillion other projects and fulfilling his role as busiest spacey electro-pop composer on the planet. New Mexico seems like the perfect place for those wide-open, expansive tunes of his. Maybe someone can talk him into posting up in the middle of the desert next time. Sound carries further at night and can have a a really spooky resonance. Just saying. This Friday, Sept. 30, he'll be wowing the pants off of us at Sister Bar (which is indoors, unfortunately) starting at 9pm.

By Peter Karlsen
Once upon a time, back in 2004, in the distant land of Arizona, there was born a folk-punk band by the name of Andrew Jackson Jihad. It was a mouthful, so they decided to go by the acronym AJJ. Then they decided to formally change their name to that. Soon they'll be at the Launchpad. People in this town like to shit on the folk-punkers, but fuck those jerks. I already bought a ticket to this Launchpad show and I bet I'll be buying band merch, too. This kick-ass event starts at 8pm on Oct. 5.
