Andrew and AudryMature
Never, did Andrew Barnett imagine that he'd run into Audry Nottingham of all people, here, at this strange and creepy little mansion. Did Master Bane intend on inviting them here together? Or was it merely coincidence? He didn't know how this mysterious host's mind worked, and he wasn't so sure he was ready to analyze it either. For all he knew, he could be some homicidal maniac, intent on trapping he and her there for all eternity...and whoever else decided to show up. There was really no telling how many guests were on the list for this dinner party, but if he could get out alive by sunrise either tomorrow or the day after, he would count his blessings.
Out of habit, he let his eyes roam over Audry's body. Damn, she had really grown up since the last time he'd seen her. "Audry Nottingham? Damn, I didn't expect to see you here. Long time no see." And it had been a long time. The last time he'd seen her was back in high school at his senior prom. At one time they had been sweethearts, and had been together for almost two years, but when the time came for him to go off to college to become a doctor, or try to get a record deal and become a rock star, he had made a decision that infuriated her, so much so that she broke up with him because of it. She had expected to see him behind a guitar, on stage, performing in front of millions of adoring fans, and be his road girlfriend, but he wanted to make his asshole of a father eat his words. "You'll never amount to anything in life, Andrew." His father, Frank, had told him back in high school, having to come home and discipline him in his own abusive way, after he'd been caught ditching classes, smoking in the boys bathroom, or ended up in detention. This was the reason why he'd gone off to med school to become a doctor. There was no way in hell he was going to end up a low life working at a gas station like his old man. And now, he was proud of the man he had become.
Perching himself on the edge of the hood of his car, he crossed his arms comfortably over his chest, glancing from Audry's car to her, somewhat surprised that she'd be driving a masculine truck such as that. He never had her pegged as a truck type. Mercedes? Yes. But not a truck. Maybe it was her boyfriend's, fiance's, or husband. To be honest, he didn't really care. They were over. They had been over a long time ago, and he wasn't about to dredge up old memories of the past. Unfortunately, if he was going to be trapped in that mansion with her for a day or two, the past might come back to bite him in the ass...in more ways than one. "Nice car," he said sarcastically. "Let me guess. Boyfriend's?"

The Decention
The impact was a rumble that shook Alex easily from his usual deep sleep. The grotesque and also beautiful plastic figurines on his numerous shelves and bookcases trembled, as though in fear.
One or two of his cellophane wrapped comics fell to the floor in disarray. He clamored quickly from his sweaty sheets that had managed to wrap themselves around his legs.
In one quick motion he had swept the displaced comics from the cold wood floor and quickly stuffed them back in place.
He then headed for the window opening it wide as a cool rush of night air flooded his stuffy room.
The night heeded no sound at all, not even the crickets chirped their nightly serenade outside his window.
The night was disturbingly deathly silent. Even the stars seemed to have hidden their faces as though frightened to look down at what had caused the massive rumble down on the earth.
The cold white moon though shone hard down on the ground. It almost looked close to dawn the way that its light shone brightly over the quiet night.
Alex looked back over at his electronic alarm clock by his bedside. The red lights glowed 1:30.
He looked down over his scrawny body. He was bare except for a tight pair of underpants. He quickly grabbed his jeans and the golf shirt he had worn the day before that were littered on the floor.
As well in his progression he grabbed a flashlight and his bat which rested against the wall near his door covered in a thick layer of dust.
His dad had bought it for him a few years back in the hopes that Alex would pick up on the sport. The thick dust gave away the fact that Alex had not.
Alex was about to exit his room quietly when he suddenly realized. My glasses he thought. In an instant they were safely on his face and he was out the door and tip toeing down the hall.
He knew his parents wouldn't have heard the noise they slept like the dead, deeper than he ever could.
As he opened his front door it creaked a little and Alex cringed. He'd kept forgetting to oil that hinge. He froze completely for a moment listening, just in case one of his parents had been up already and picked up on the noise.
The dark hall to the bedrooms was silent. Alex took this as enough and slipped out the door quickly into the cold quiet of the night.
The crickets had decided to strike up the serenade once more and were noisily making up for lost time. Alex quickly got his bearings. Even though the moon was bright everything always looked different at night.
He soon realized which way he needed to go. The only place something could have made a noise that loud and gone unnoticed was in the woods just a few meters off from the side of his house.
Alex made for the woods in a b-line and nearly cried out bloody murder when he stepped on a sharp rock. He had forgotten to put his shoes on in his rush and now he was paying for it.
He thought for a minute if he should go back and get a pair but at this point he realized that if the door made anymore creaks he'd wake his parents and he'd never be able to investigate. He'd troop on and hope for the best for his poor bare feet.
Alex soon forgot about his recent injury as his inquisitive mind began to take over. He had no idea where he was going, instinct drove him forward.
The woods had become deathly silent again, the crickets now forgotten by the trees dark massive statures. Alex trekked on but soon found himself far from home and still no where near whatever had caused the mysterious quake.
He stood still for a moment again trying to catch his bearings, this time relying purely on his guess as to which direction the quake had started from.
Alex's mind began to fill with different thoughts of aliens and meteors flying to earth. Alien creatures crawling out ready to eat brains or worse the flesh from his body.
The hoot of an owl jolted him out of his thoughts nearly making him jump in fright.
Alex may have been a lot of things but bravery was not on his list. When other kids were out adventuring through the woods or going on rafting trips during the summer, Alex was much more comfortable sitting in his room at him compiling lists of comics he owned as well as trading and selling on E-bay.
Now he was definitely out of his element out here in the woods in the middle of the night with nothing but a dusty old bat and bare feet. He realized that he was more scared than he had ever felt before.
Even those cloudy thunder struck nights hidden under his blankets with a flashlight during a power outage cuddling close to a horror comic like vampires of the lost tombs or the lake monster of lake mead. Alex had never been this close to scared.
He decided it was time to go home and as fast as possible so he could cuddle back up in his warm and secure bed before one of those flesh eating aliens crawled out of its meteor shaped space ship and got him.
He turned around and walked forward. It took him five minutes to realize he was now lost. It was as though the trees had shuffled into different positions while he wasn't looking.
Desperately he chose another direction and quickly went that way.
No good again.
Every way he went was to no avail. He didn't recognize any part of where he was going. These woods that had seemed so friendly and bright during the day, that he gazed out upon and dreamed about adventures involving sexy heroines and exciting super villains now seemed dark and foreboding. The friendliness had melted to give way to shifting shadows and strange noises.
He sat down under a big oak tree against its trunk and closed his eyes. He began shifting back and forth trying to ignore everything around him as the trees and the shadows and the noises all seemed to close in. Causing a barrier to any way he went now.
Suddenly a bright light shone hard against him. Alex opened his eyes in fear, it was the aliens they had found him. He shivered as the bright light came closer bobbing every so slightly as it moved closer and closer.
Alex closed his eyes once more waiting for the end to come.
What how did the aliens know his name? And why did they sound so familiar. Had the somehow taken the form of someone he knew.
Alex opened his eyes slowly.
The bright light had given way to a figure now standing over him, tall and shadowy.
Alex squinted up not sure what to make of it.
Then a hand came down through the light and in front of him.
"Alex what are you doing out here at this time of night?" the all-to-familiar voice asked.
Alex grabbed the hand quickly realizing how silly he was being instantly. As he guessed it was his best friend in the world Jack behind that harsh light.
"Jack thank god, I think I'm lost," Alex breathed, exasperated.
Jack shot him a weird look through the dimness aided by the flashlight, which was now pointed at the ground.
"Alex your about five minutes away from my house," Jack pointed to the left, "its just past those few bunches of trees."
Alex looked and indeed he could now see the porch light of Jack's distant house beyond the grouping of trees just to his right.
He looked at the circle of light on the ground now feeling very stupid and feeling his cheeks heat up.
"Alex what are you doing out here, I saw you walking around here from my window and came to see what you were doing," Jack questioned.
Alex looked up at him suddenly excited, realizing once again his main reason for being out in these cold woods at night.
"Jack did you feel that quake? It happened about a half hour ago, tell me you felt it," Alex asked hopefully.
Jack shot him another look as though unsure of him.
"Alex were you sleep walking or something? I don't remember any kind of quake, I just woke up and you were wondering in the woods outside my window," Jack claimed.
Alex looked dismally at his friend.
"So you didn't hear it or feel it," he said sadly.
"No Alex like I said I just woke up like I do sometimes in the night," then he added almost in a mocking tone, "quake free."
Alex was still hopeful.
"Well I heard it and I think it was somewhere close. Now that I have you with your flashlight we're sure to find out what it was," he said, excitedly.
"No I think I'll just head home if it's all the same to you," Jack murmured.
He turned and began to walk the other way slowly trudging.
"Wait Jack, come on your my best friend," Alex pleaded, "who better to share the discovery of a lifetime with."
Jack turned around looking unsure.
"What do you think is going to happen, that we're going to find some meteor or something like that?"
"Well what if we do Jack, we'd be famous, we could make lots of money off of it," Alex was desperate.
Jack thought about this for a moment. His eyes almost lit up at the sound of money. Then he looked suspiciously back at Alex.
"Alright Alex, I'll give you ten minutes, but if we don't find anything in that time, I'm heading back home," he agreed.
Alex jumped excited than grabbed his friends arm and began tugging on it.
"Come on quickly Jack I have a feeling it's this way, I almost know it," he said.
Jack followed his friend reluctantly holding the flashlight out front of the both of them to make sure they didn't walk into anything.
Five minutes passed and although they didn't find anything yet Jack couldn't help but start to feel pulled towards a certain direction. It was as though his mind was answering to a call that he could not hear on a conscious level. He tried to fight it a little but the pull was too strong and eventually he gave in.
Alex only realized this when Jack had deviated from the path that Alex was trekking, and his flashlight began to bounce in a new direction.
"Jack where are you going?" Alex asked.
Jack didn't answer but continued to let the feeling pull him towards whatever source was calling him.
Alex followed without further questioning although he could not feel what Jack was.
Within minutes they stumbled upon a smoking crater about ten feet in diameter in the middle of the woods.
A large maple tree lay across the hole and from a look at the lower part of it, looked as though it had been knocked down forcefully. The trunk near the bottom was literally torn from the roots and the bark was jagged where it had been ripped from its lower extremity.
"What in the world could have done this?" Alex asked aloud, though not expecting an answer from the now silent Jack.
Jack of course did not answer but just stared at the smoking crater. He moved forward slowly shuffling his feet and began to examine the hole more closely.
In the center of the crater lay a very meek looking rock, perfectly round but only about two and a half feet in diameter. It did not look as though it could have created the hole that housed it.
As Jack leaned further in to examine the ground at his feet suddenly crumbled, and gave way to his weight. He spun around to grab for a branch or anything but his hands closed down on air.
Alex gasped as he watched his friend fall, he was completely frozen unable to move his body.
Jack turned to him and a mock expression of Alex covered his face, then almost what looked like anger to Alex. Though he could hardly be sure as seconds later Jack disappeared into the hole.
Jack watched as the trees spun around suddenly and then there was a loud crack and then there was darkness once more.

Well, D, it didn't take long. My response to Mary went to both lists
yesterday, and this morning I got a polite note asking me not to quote the
entire message I'm replying to, including a veiled reference to "my
continued participation."
I honestly did not try and test the new list (or this one, for that
matter); including the whole post was just an oversight. I certainly
understand space limitations on list-servers. But I didn't expect such a
quick reprimand.

The following information may help to address your question:
Can pulmonary arterial hypertension be cured?
There are currently no targeted therapies that can reverse or stop pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Transplantations of the lungs alone and lungs and heart have been performed in people with PAH. Unfortunately risk for life-threatening complications is high and long-term survival is limited.[1][2] Three year survival of those receiving transplantation is estimated to be around 50%.[2]
How might pulmonary arterial hypertension be treated?
People with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) benefit from receiving treatment at specialized centers.[2] The Pulmonary Hypertension Association offers a Find a Doctor tool which may aid you in locating your nearest center.
Treatment of serious or life threatening PAH may involve continuous IV epoprostenol. Other treatment options, include treprostinil, iloprost, bosentan, ambrisentan, sildenafil, and tadalafil. Many of these treatments can be administered in various forms, such as by shot, IV, or inhalation. A small number of people with PAH respond well to long term oral calcium channel blockers. Blood thinners, diuretics, and supplemental oxygen may be prescribed as needed.[2]
Many drugs can be harmful to people with PAH. The following should be avoided: appetite suppressants, cocaine, amphetamines (and related compounds), low oxygen environments (such as high altitudes), and possibly estrogen compounds (oral contraceptives and hormone replacement therapy).[2]
What is the long-term outlook for people with pulmonary arterial hypertension?
The average survival of a person with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) after diagnosis is estimated to be around 2.8 years, however individual prognosis may be better or worse depending on a variety of factors including age and severity of PAH. Studies have demonstrated survivals ranging from less than 1 year to over 7 years. Current treatments are helpful in controlling/managing symptoms experienced by people with PAH, but unfortunately no treatment has significantly improved survival.[2][3]
We hope this information is helpful. We strongly recommend you discuss this information with your doctor. If you still have questions, please contact us.
Warm regards,

And again no suits...
It's probably correct. A check/raise on the turn after flatting the flop is often a monster, so expect him to have TT/99/88 here.
Unless he's aggro enough to do this with JJ+ (but those would've raised the flop, imo) or a flush draw (if there is one - you HAVE to include the suits, bro)...
re: Poker & $5 NLHE 6-max: AA vs. turn raise
14/12 guy dont c3b T9 or QJ oop (maybe open sometimes but mostlikely dont c3b them) if the board is rainbow, tight players like to check call/check raise sets, you can be behind here often, myself never folds this situation, that is why i have such big swings when i play, maybe the best advice here is fold but i honestly dont see me folding
If you want to get better at this game, which I presume you do, then put your opponent on a range of hands and ask... "hey, does this sound right CC?" And we'll tell you. Then you take that range and punch it into your equity calculator and figure out if you're ahead or not. Easy.
If you want to keep spinning your wheels at poker, post up hands like this.
140bb deep, this is alright to bet/fold. I think checking loses some value, and I think I'd rather check back QQ/JJ here. 100bb deep probably standard to call off, as he could be spazzing with QQ if the board got draw heavy. Don't think JJ plays like this really. He has SDV, and shouldn't expect to get called by much worse when he blocks straight draws and you still have QQ-AA/some 1010 in your range. I think he folds 88/99 sometimes pre and sometimes vs 3-bet, and plays QQ like this enough to justify stacking off 100bb deep. 140bb deep I'm sure you'll see a set/QJs here 90%+ of the time.
re: Poker & $5 NLHE 6-max: AA vs. turn raise
I seriously doubt JJ plays like this, especially 140bb. And I don't think QQ either, since we have T9s in our range and some 1010/99, and all QQ-AA in our range. Sure, QQ can play like this 100bb deep. But 140bb? Not unless he's a fish who does not understand how strong we are when we barrel this turn.
Just because his range when we reach the turn may be xx+ does not mean he x/r all combos of it or plays it this way. He may CR only nutted hands on this turn (88-1010), even though his range for reaching the turn may be 88-AA. X/c, x/r or call flop raise turn is a pretty nutted line, especially in a 3-bet pot deep. We are pretty much crushed here almost everytime, ainec.
So you're basically hoping a TAG 14/12 who is likely postionally aware and is aware of six-max tables dynamics is fishy enough to be spazzing out 140bb deep with enough combos of JJ/QQ/some slowplayed KK to justify calling off when he has 9 combos of sets in his range that has us absolutely crushed (drawing to 2 outs) and probably 1 combo of QJs that has us drawing dead?
And stop trying to be a smartass. That response was uncalled for.
I think Minh's favorite thing is folding overpairs in 3-bet pots. Followed closely by set-mining while barely having implied odds.
To be fair, I do think a lot of this difference between his opinion and mine is how other players perceive us. I used to have a 10% 3-bet rate, and run around 30/28. An over pair was the nuts, and I was constantly played back at. If Minh plays at 16/14, people aren't going to mess with him, and they'll be constantly trying to set-mine or make big hands against him.
On Bovada 100NL, people can't track my stats or know my tendencies well given the anonymous tables. I really only switched back to 16/14 to reduce variance recently after experiencing my first very long downswing. I used to be 22/18 and play pretty aggro. I did probably profit a little more playing LAG, but since it's much higher variance and people can't track my stats anyway. I don't really care about reverting back to 16/14 for the time being on Bovada, especially since it has worked really well for me and has been pretty low variance. Everyone is super loose preflop on Bovada btw and you do not have very much FE equity preflop. Yeah, playing with 10 or J high OOP on Bovada UTG is a good way to burn money.
Yeah, people are playing back at you because you're 30/28. Doesn't take a really good player to figure out that you should be snapping AA here if your perceived image is wild/super loose aggro. With no given informaion on history, this is a fold.
And where have I ever advocated set-mining with unfavorable implied odds? And even if I did, which I don't think I did, it's not at the frequency you're suggesting it is at.
Some players' favorite thing to do is advocate hero calling spots where we're way behind vs an unknown's range. Or use BvB or Blind v BTN as an excuse in justifying a terrible stack-off at micro stakes where most players don't fully understand these dynamics to be playing back often enough, are level 1 thinkers, and are generally passive. That's my favorite thing to read.
re: Poker & $5 NLHE 6-max: AA vs. turn raise
it was an objective statement/response...
And to the above, yeah.. at 5nl I do. You have good analysis and give players a little too much credit. If there's a read that the player is playing well then fine, but overplaying QQ,KK is certainly a reasonable guess here on a drawy board.
My basic point is that you need a good read to fold this, not to call. If you have a good read, not just "they're 14/12", then your analysis is solid, if not, then their ranges are wider than you'd think. Because you're a good hand reader/logical player it is easy to project that they have the same skills as you.. not always the best assumption, especially at these stakes.
Anyway I think you played corectly. Most of the times it will me 88,99,TT or even QJs, also As IPlay sad if you got info about V is aggro enough to play like this with JJ+ you can make the call. Against unknow fold is not a bad move
id like to see a larger 3bet size ... this opponent most likely isnt opening wide utg... lets extract more value
turn is shove given our tight our opponent is... hes not thr type to get a straight here tho prolly play jj this way or qq kk.. set of tens prolly only hand we fear
go for it
Never fold the AA in that spot. A lot of straight draws and maybe flush draws???? You didn't give suits. But even if behind, you are only really hurt against a set which would probably want action, not to push action out. Likely up against a draw or 10 J maybe.

Sony's summer-themed retail campaign
Electronics vendor, Sony Australia, is tackling the Christmas retail rush through a summer-themed campaign titled 'Summertainment', which will reward customers on (very) select purchases.
Electronics vendor, Sony Australia, is tackling the Christmas retail rush through a summer-themed campaign titled 'Summertainment', which will reward customers on (very) select purchases.
The U.S. government will push its electronics suppliers to provide energy-efficient and easily recycled products under a new policy released Wednesday.
Sony will reorganize its operations and shuffle executives on April 1 in a series of moves that maintains Howard Stringer's leadership and positions two executives to potentially succeed him one day as chairman of the electronics giant.
Sales of 3D television sets and handheld devices will surge this year after a weak start in 2010 as manufacturers step up production and marketing, an analyst said on Thursday.

HP OfficeJet Pro 8730
A smarter way to print for busy small business owners, combining speedy printing with scanning and copying, making it easier to produce high quality documents and images at a touch of a button.
HP OfficeJet Pro 8730
I've had a multifunction printer in the office going on 10 years now. It was a neat bit of kit back in the day -- print, copy, scan, fax -- when printing over WiFi felt a bit like magic. It's seen better days though and an upgrade's well overdue. This HP OfficeJet Pro 8730 looks like it ticks all the same boxes: print, copy, scan, and fax. (Really? Does anyone fax anything any more? I guess it's good to know the facility's there, just in case.) Printing over WiFi is more-or- less standard these days.
HP OfficeJet Pro 8730
As a freelance writer who is always on the go, I like my technology to be both efficient and effective so I can do my job well. The HP OfficeJet Pro 8730 Inkjet Printer ticks all the boxes in terms of form factor, performance and user interface.
Windows 10 for Business / Dell XPS 13
I'd happily recommend this touchscreen laptop and Windows 10 as a great way to get serious work done at a desk or on the road.
Windows 10 / HP Spectre x360
Ultimately, I think the Windows 10 environment is excellent for me as it caters for so many different uses. The inclusion of the Xbox app is also great for when you need some downtime too!
Windows 10 / Lenovo Yoga 910
For me, the Xbox Play Anywhere is a great new feature as it allows you to play your current Xbox games with higher resolutions and better graphics without forking out extra cash for another copy. Although available titles are still scarce, but I'm sure it will grow in time.

Your Guide to Buying Star Wars Collectable Mugs on eBay
Kitchen mugs have been styled in various ways for years in different colours and with different patterns printed on their exterior. It makes drinking out of them more enjoyable, not just for youngsters but for adults too, and can brighten up the aesthetics of a kitchen.
The mug will often follow a certain theme, a sports team for example, or be addressed to certain family members. The Star Wars brand, one of the biggest film franchises of all time, has manufactured many mugs with its own theme.
For a low cost item such as a mug, many people decide to shop online, as there is an extensive range of choice along with some great deals to be found. With this in mind, this guide will look specifically how to buy Star Wars mugs online and specifically look at auction website eBay.
Information on Mugs
Mugs are predominantly used for consuming hot drinks, invariably tea or coffee for people in the UK. The majority of them are made from ceramic materials, which will conduct heat when hot liquids are poured inside. To combat this, they will be built with handles so picking them up is made achievable.
Mugs tend to be more popular than traditional teacups as they are larger and thus have a higher volume. Most models of mugs will hold approximately between 200ml and 500ml depending on their design.
As opposed to teacups, which have a slender and more distinguished profile, mugs are more robustly built with thicker walls. This helps to keep the liquid inside insulated. The bottom of mugs will invariably be conclave, meaning that they do not touch the surface in which they are placed.
Mugs commonly found in households up and down the UK will be made from ceramic materials, be it earthenware, stoneware, porcelain or bone china. Ceramic mugs, usually porcelain, are the most suitable material to use due to their high melting temperature, making them suitable for holding hot liquids.
Forming a mould is relatively simple too; this means that countless numbers can be made at a low cost. The white or plain exterior of ceramics is also makes it easy to paint different designs and colours also. Some other materials used to construct mugs include enamel, steel and plastic although these are not as common.
A Look at Star Wars
Star Wars is the name given to a film franchise that was created in the late 1970's by American director, George Lucas. The success of the films has made Star Wars one of the most recognisable brands in the world, not only in the world of film but in the form of books, computer games and other merchandise also.
After the first film was produced in 1977, two more sequels were released in the 1980s, which were well received by critics and fans alike. The story of Luke Skywalker , Princess Leia and Darth Vader added a human element to the story set in a futuristic universe with different alien races. In 1999, the first of three prequels were released that regenerated the popularity of the film throughout the 21st century.
The success of the multi-million pound franchise has led to thousands of products incorporating the Star Wars logo, characters and scenery on their design. Mugs are one of these products and are a popular item for fans of the film to purchase.
Different Characters
The intergalactic nature of the fictional Star Wars world and numerous races that are included in the story mean that there are a lot of options when coming to choose a mug. As well as basic Star Wars designs and logos, various characters are often displayed too. They include:
- Luke Skywalker
- Yoda
Buying Considerations for Star Wars Mugs
· Ask yourself whether a Star Wars mug will be a wise investment, and if it is needed in the first place. Although it is preferable to have a wide selection of mugs at your disposal, for example, in case some are being washed in the dishwasher, or if offering some friends a drink. However, owning too many will only cost money better off spent elsewhere and take up space unnecessarily.
· Storage is an important factor to consider also. Is there a suitable cupboard or a mug rack where the mug can be placed?
· Think about the size of the mug and whether a smaller or larger model will be appropriate. Some people like to have a big caffeine fix at the start of the day and bigger mugs can provide this.
· A high quality mug should be able to cope with numerous dishwasher use without the design on the side wearing off. In addition, if a microwave will be used to heat up the contents of the mug, then look out for models that can be placed inside one (ceramic ones usually are). Mugs that are advertised as oven safe will be microwave safe also.
· Is the mug being bought as a present? Mugs can make great presents for numerous occasions, be it Christmas, Father's day or a birthday, so think if the recipient will appreciate a mug with Star Wars images printed on the side. Some people keep and use their favourite mug for years so buying one, as a gift, can become a special and sentimental present. Some people may take a liking to a particular character, so also bear this in mind.
· The cost of mugs is generally on the low side, although some specially designed versions – for example those moulded in the actual shape of R2-D2 – can stretch to around £30. However, due to the wide accessibility of mugs, many can be found for around £5 and under. Shopping on eBay offers the chance to buy one for less, especially if using the Auction format .
· Buying online and on eBay in particular is perfect for buying items such as mugs. The item doesn't necessarily need to be carefully analysed first hand before a purchase is made. A whole host of various Star Wars mug designs can be evaluated online next to each other and also be delivered to the front door.

Time for Tappas
... up being just about the whole day was devoted to washing. We weren't to phased as we had quite a few days to relax here.
Kate had booked us a tapas tour so we could check out the local cuisine with out any nasty surprises like Madrid. It ended up just being the two of us on the tour so the tour guide had to talk to us the whole time. There were 4 stops, each from a different area in Spain, with a speciality dish. To be honest I cannot remember what the regions were ...
Duomo & Cupola, Gelato Festival & hola Bar
... Sunday, our last day in Firenze, we decided go at a slower pace and get on the Hop On Hop Off bus and do 2 of the 3 lines as we had not done this last time we were here. One of the stops was Piazzale Michelangelo which has a massive green marble statue of David and stands in the place where the original David stood. Piazzale Michelangelo also has a fantastico view of all of Firenze but when we got up there we realised something even better ...
Park Guell was swell
... center of the park. Another project this fellow worked out was the mosaic art which was one huge, curving, weaving bench around this outdoor terrace. Thousands and thousands of tiles and various materials. Hundreds of colors.
Apparently this J guy has asked Galdi how he wanted him to handle certain projects or what he wanted him to do. Galdi basically told him, I hired you to do this, use your creative talent and get it done! So this J guy told ...
Something Around Every Corner
... It wasn't until walking the city with our wonderful tour guide, Alan that I began to truly appreciate this city's unique design, or perhaps lack of design. The city is small and bound by is geography, there isn't much one can do when enclosed by mountains and the Mediterranean. Therefore, the streets, in the Gothic part of the city, are narrow and rather cramped. My experience with Barcelona was magnified ...
Coming Home
We were off to the airport by 7:00 am. Our flight from Barcelona to Paris was leaving at 10:15. With 50 people in our group, we had to allow enough time to get everyone checked in. This is where we bid farewell to Simon. He will be missed. He was an excellent tour guide. The check-in went smooth. Of course, Laurie and I took the lead and moved to the front of the line. So ...

Free Programming Fonts
When your profession involves writing code for significantly long periods of time, even deceptively trivial things such as the font you're using can make a huge difference.
This is a list of fonts for people who love code.
For your convenience, I have created a sample page for all the fonts mentioned here, which may help you choose the one that's right for you.
Selection Criteria
Here are the factors used for choosing the fonts in this list.
A good font that's used for programming should be monospaced, meaning each character occupies the same amount of horizontal space1. Monospaced fonts are also called fixed-width fonts.
Using a fixed-width font is essential for formatting and readability of source code.
Screen readability and legibility
When you have to stare at code for hours, reading comfort is really important.
In addition, research shows that fonts can affect the user experience; typography has measurable cognitive effects on our mood2, which, in turn, could have indirect implications towards our productivity.
Preferably, the font we choose is explicitly designed with coding in mind, and is optimized especially for on-screen/computer-monitor readability.
Readability is a subjective matter — what's easy for me to read, might not be so for you. The programming fonts sample page can be used as a rudimentary tool for evaluating the readability and legibility of each font in this list.
Unambiguous characters
To avoid syntax errors, we should be able to effortlessly distinguish between similar characters such as
| and
I when we're writing/reading code. Programmers shouldn't have to wonder whether they typed
O or
o, or whether a string value is wrapped with backticks (
``) or apostrophes (
The sample page has a code block that contains potentially ambiguous characters so that you are able to test a particular font's legibility.
Truly free
The best programming fonts are free and open-sourced in my opinion. And, particularly for those of us who are web developers, we'd like to not have to worry about whether or not we can render the font in the browser as part of a UI design.
My intention with this list is to highlight free fonts that are truly free. Some popular programming fonts — fonts that I also personally love, such as Consolas and Monaco — were intentionally left out because their licensing terms outside of personal use were unclear.
A great deal of time was spent hunting down and researching the fonts for inclusion in this list. This activity led me to fonts that are well-loved by the programming community and helped me narrow this roundup down to a manageable size.
Personal preference
There's always going to be some level of bias when pulling together a list like this.
There are many excellent programming fonts out there that match the criteria above, but at the end of the day this list has a major flaw and limiting factor: Me. I chose to include only the programming fonts I'm comfortable recommending to others. If you have recommendations, please share them in the comments section of this article.
The Fonts
You'll find a table listing relevant resources and information for each font. Also, each font has multiple download links pointing to trustworthy domains in case a link stops working in the future.
1. Anonymous Pro
Anonymous Pro, by typeface designer Mark Simonson, was "designed especially for coders," according to its website. This font has keyboard characters like the Command key found on Apple keyboards, making it a good candidate font for displaying keyboard shortcuts on web pages and user interfaces.

2. Cousine
If you're a fan of the Courier font family, then you're going to like Cousine. Cousine improves on the font family that inspired it by offering "improved on-screen readability characteristics"3. This font was made by Steve Matteson, the designer of many of the fonts you see in open source operating systems.

6. Hermit
Hermit is "a font for programmers, by a programmer." This font is a relatively new font. It's by Pablo Caro, whose professional background as an engineer and computer scientist, and track record of projects, make him an individual not only qualified to know what the needs of programmers are, but also an interestingly atypical designer of fonts. This monospaced font is "designed to be clear, pragmatic and very readable," according to Caro's website. "Its creation has been focused on programming."

7. Inconsolata
Inconsolata draws inspiration from the ubiquitous Consolas font by Microsoft. Inconsolata was developed by Raph Levien, a Google engineer currently assigned to the Android platform. Levien says on his site that though there are many great programming fonts, many of them "do not have the attention to detail for high resolution rendering."

I would add Ubuntu Mono. It's the most readable to my eye. https://www.google.com/fonts/specimen/Ubuntu+Mono
Bill Woodward Jul 28 2014
Meslo is another good one.
Luke Pettway Jul 28 2014
Awesome! I wrote an article recently about this very subject. I never considered changing fonts in IDE's but it really makes a difference and adds a personal touch to what you see on the screen.
I'm using Anonymous Pro at the moment, but I'll check out what you are using as well!
Anwar Choukah Jul 28 2014
I recommend "M+ 1m" – http://fontsquirrel.com/fonts/M-1m — it's a lovely-looking font, different from others by being condensed and very legible. My bad eyes love it! Looks beautiful light on dark…
Raymond Jul 28 2014
I love Inconsolata. I've been using it in Sublimetext 3, and as my terminal font on Ubuntu for quite awhile now.
Anwar Choukah Jul 28 2014
Regarding M+ 1m – here's the official download link: http://mplus-fonts.sourceforge.jp/mplus-outline-fonts/download/index-en.html
It contains some weird font-formats I've never heard of, (.bdf and .diff)… Sorry, I'm not a programmer and my Mac had no clue what to do with them.. Luckily, after a short search on, I found it on Fontsqurrel,
sunil Jul 28 2014
Source Code Pro is the best.
It's beautiful in emacs, and probably anything else.
For some reason, using in jetbrains editors is difficult, and I haven't been able to figure out how to get phpstorm to render them. I have no idea why this is the case.
But it's a great font for working with when you are looking at code all day.
David B. Wildgoose Jul 29 2014
My personal favourite is Bitstream Vera Sans – to be honest I was surprised not to see it here. I really liked the DejaVu font though, which looked extremely similar. So similar in fact, that I investigated. It appears to be a superset that is expanding on Bitstream Vera! :-)
james niko Jul 29 2014
I think DejaVu and Source code pro fonts are the one s that I like very much.
Jacob Gube Jul 29 2014
Firstly, I'd like to thank everyone who has provided me with feedback about this list; it's all been very helpful!
Having been afforded the chance and time to review the original work and demo page after a day away from it, as well as the helpful feedback I've gotten here on the site, through email, on GitHub, and other channels of communication, I'd love to issue an update in the next few days that improves this list of programming fonts.
Here are things I'm thinking of doing/fixing:
Go beyond the 10 fonts: One of the biggest lessons I've learned from you is that there are so many great fonts that meet the selection criteria that it would be a good idea to go beyond the original arbitrary limit of ten fonts. I'd like to expand this list based on your suggestions, and I already have a few excellent fonts in mind.
Improve readability of the sample page: All these fonts look great when viewed in desktop software (e.g. in a code editor), as well as in retina displays. But when I'm looking at the sample page on, for example, Chrome for the desktop (in mobile Chrome, they all look great to me) + my desktop monitor, some of the fonts aren't rendered in a way that truly represents their aesthetic and legibility qualities; particularly, for example, Hermit and Fira Mono. I'll try to see if I can replace their web font files so that they render as best as possible in as many viewing situations as possible. Also, I'll be improving the color contrast. For instance, there's poor definition between the comments syntax highlighting versus the highlighting of object names, expressions and methods, as well as versus the light-gray background color.
Truly and sincerely, I want to thank you for helping. I know it takes time and effort to provide feedback, so I value your suggestions. I'll post an update here and on Twitter when I've pushed out the new version of the list/demo page.
Jacob Gube Jul 29 2014
@Anwar Choukah: Thank you! I've gotten a ton of feedback about M+. I'll be updating this list with it.
@David B. Wildgoose: DejaVu is an expansion of Bitstream Vera fonts (which had a limited character set), with their changes to the Bitstream Vera being released as public domain work. I felt including both would be redundant, so I chose to include the family that was more comprehensive. Thoughts?
RoseHosting Jul 30 2014
My favorite monospace font is Envy Code R. I've been using it as my primary terminal font for a couple of years now.
Anwar Choukah Jul 30 2014
@Jacob Gube :) I saw it here first (probably like most others) — http://www.macwright.org/2014/07/09/mplus.html
Jacob Gube Jul 31 2014
@Anwar Choukah: Looks really nice with JS! :) Thanks for sharing that link with me! I'll add that to its info table when this post is updated.
Rob Aug 15 2014
Anonymous looks pretty darn good. Didn't know that one.
Anwar Choukah Jan 14 2015
My new favourite: Input – http://input.fontbureau.com/ – specifically: Input Mono Compressed
When I become brave, I'm going to try the variable-width variation…


text: Last year I wrote the same test in 24 different ways as a little advent calendar for you to enjoy. This year I'm going to do something similar but also a little bit different. I'm going to start with a simple piece of code and then show how this code can be tested for thread safety in different ways. I think it's pretty common to think that thread safety is one of those things that are really hard to test and something you typically handle by good practices and code reviews. Very similar to logging in an application. Most people don't TDD their logs. But why not? Personally I've experienced situations where fixing a bug means making something thread safe or adding a better log message. When I do this I want a test to reproduce the bug and verify the fix. These tests are typically hard to write since the code was not written to be easily tested in regards to logging or thread safety. But it doesn't have to be that way. For example there is a testing framework that basically works with verifying logs (TextTest) and thread safety can absolutely be designed using TDD. Remember; if you think it is hard, you're probably doing something wrong. Let's decide after Christmas if test driving thread safety is better than the standard way of just adding it where you know it is needed.

Welcome to Flickr Hive Mind, possibly the best photography search engine on the web. Flickr Hive Mind is now running securely (under https) at
You will need to log back in if you wish to see your private photos.
Follow @flickrhivemind Welcome to Flickr Hive Mind. If you log into Flickr you will see your private photos and larger thumbnails.
Flickr Hive Mind is a data mining tool for the Flickr database of photography. Flickr Hive Mind is a search engine as well as an experiment in the power of Folksonomies. All thumbnail images come directly
from Flickr, none are stored on Flickr Hive Mind. These photos
are bound by the copyright and license of their owners, the thumbnail links take to you to the photos
(as well as their copyright and license details) within Flickr. Because some other search engines (Google, etc.) index parts of
Flickr Hive Mind, you may have been led here from one of them. Welcome to Flickr Hive Mind, almost certainly the best search engine for photography on the web. If you are a Flickr
user and use Flickr Stats you
may have seen people being led to your photos via Flickr Hive Mind (as a Referrer).
Flickr requires that I inform you that Flickr Hive Mind uses the Flickr API, but is neither endorsed nor certified by them.
There are literally hundreds of other web tools built around the Flickr API, see
Flickr Bits for a bunch of examples.
If you are unhappy with your photos' presence on this site, you can (a)
make your photos private for yourself, friends, and family. These settings will be instantly honored by
Flickr Hive Mind and all other API-driven applications. (b) Hide your photos globally from text and tag searches on 3rd party sites that use the Flickr API, via your preference settings on Flickr. See the privacy tab at:
https://flickr.com/account/. To also remove yourself from searches for specific user names, you will need to set your Flickr profile to be hidden from searches. Flickr has finally created a single page with all these settings, this is much easier to do now and is the preferred method - it will shut down all API driven sites. Google has a bad habit of keeping out-of-date links and thumbnails in their search results, I can try to help you remove them.
(c) Finally, you can
Banish Yourself
From Flickr Hive Mind. To banish yourself from Flickr Hive Mind, you must first authenticate to Flickr, which lets Flickr Hive Mind identify who you are. This is necessary to make sure you are the user in question, and also because people use such crazy characters in their Flickr user names. You can revoke access when finished. Once logged in, come back to this area
and there will be a link to banish you. If there are any problems email me at nosflickrhivemind ... at ... fiveprime ... dot ... org. (a few people with weird characters in their user names may have had problems)
