A selection of galaxies colonised by various species. Intergalactic pirates, traders, police. Overlords of all galaxies.
The only rule is that you have to interact with at least one other character. You can have as many of your own characters as you like but you must interact with at least one other persons character.
The bar was empty as I walked after docking at the main space port of sector 2, more locally called Faircliff. "Captain Sophia," the bar maid greeted me cheerfully. "Mary," I smiled "How's the best barmaid this side of the galaxy?" She laughed and handed me my usual JD and coke. Call me old fashioned but I still preferred the old earth drinks. "so, what's the gossip?" I said as I took a sip from the tall glass.
"not a lot," She said, carrying on cleaning a few glasses left on the side. "The capitol increased taxes, and the kings men are terrorising the streets as per usual. Wendy down the street said that things are getting tense now." I nodded, it's the same across half the galaxy, the other half are turning into dictatorships." I sighed, swirling the last dregs of my drink round the bottom of the glass. "It makes my job damn hard."
"I thought piracy was always hard," Mary grinned.
"Trading," I countered, "It's perfectly legal," I finished off the last of my drink.
"sure," She smirked, "anyway how's the rest of your crew? Jimmy, Joshua?"
"Yeh they're all pretty good. Your Ryan's working pretty hard," I said.
"good good, I'm glad he went with you and yours. There's no one else I'd trust." She filled up my glass again just as we heard a crash from outside.
"stay here," I said as I pulled out my gun and crept up to the side of the door. I waited until Mary ran upstairs before carefully opening the door and stepping out onto the now darkened street I flicked the safety off the gun and crept round the corner.
"Hands up," a gruff voice came from behind me as I felt the cool metal of a gun press up against the back of my head.
"aww but I was having so much fun," I said slowly raising my hands. Whoever it was behind me grabbed the gun from my hand and pushed me up against the wall.
"search her the gruff voice said. You have landed without permission on the docks of Faircliff. You must now face the Kings Justice."
"what? Let me go. You don't need to land with permission." I struggled against the Kings men as they turned me round to face the gruff voice. He was one of the Wood Cats a skeletal, semi-liquid race of felines. They have no obvious sensory organs - yet display definite senses of a mysterious nature. They consume energy. They learn quickly They are experts at working the system - any system and so thrive as a guard or a governing system but they're a ruthless bunch. I rolled my eyes as I realised who it was that had hold of me. There was no point fighting against them.
Well, I thought. It had been a while since I'd seen the Capitol of Faircliff. I might as well go there with a guide.

Nutrition consults available anywhere in the United States via phone and video call.
We make it easy for you to schedule an appointment online!
For optimal health and vitality, traditional medical teachings recommend eating seasonally and locally. In keeping with the ancient belief that we are healthier and happier when our bodies are in tune with the cycles of nature, it follows we should eat foods that grow in our geographical area while they are in season. Traditional systems teach that foods and people in the same geographical area have "similar energy." This may be true in the sense that plants and the people living as neighbors share the same weather, air, soil and "roots." Whether indigenous or adoptive species, plants that thrive in particular areas are there because they are well-suited and have established harmony with their surroundings. When we eat foods that exist in harmony with our surroundings, it's believed we allow take some of that harmony into our own bodies.
Yet as we enter deep fall, some of the most touted fertility foods, like berries and melons, are heading out of season. But that's no reason to panic. Instead of spending a fortune this winter on raspberries that have been shipped from half-way across the world, take a deeper look at your flora. Farmer's markets are an obvious way to explore what's locally and seasonally available in your area. In addition, many larger grocery chains have begun to label produce as locally-grown when applicable.
Here are some tips for reaping the best of Fall's fertility bounty:

Unfuckingbelievable! From The Onion.
Community Theater Gives Part Of Blanche DuBois To Kathy Fucking Hamilton
PEEKSKILL, NY—In a surprising casting decision that has drawn criticism from numerous members of local community theater The Old Mill Players, sources confirmed Wednesday that the role of Blanche DuBois in the company's upcoming production of Tennessee Williams' A Streetcar Named Desire has been given to none other than Kathy fucking Hamilton.
Reports indicated that, yes, you heard that correctly: The 41-year-old real estate agent and mother of three has, for some insane reason, been selected to portray what is, hands down, the 2014 season's most challenging dramatic role.
That's right, accounts confirmed, we're all supposed to sit back and believe that the woman whose past credits include Myrtle Mae Simmons in Harvey, Aunt Eller in Oklahoma!, and a handful of other bit parts is now poised to emerge from the wings and bear the full weight of the summer calendar's most highly anticipated production, as if that's not going to take some kind of goddamn miracle.
I mean, Jesus, sources added.

CANADIAN cannibal murder suspect Luka Magnotta has been arrested in Berlin.
A spokesman for the Berlin police confirmed that a man had been arrested in an
internet cafe in Neukoelln, a working-class district of the German capital.
Magnotta is suspected of the murder of Jun Lin, a 33-year-old Chinese student,
in Montreal.
Magnotta was apparently spotted travelling on a bus from France to Berlin
And according to reports in Berlin the internet cafe owner recognised Magnotta
and alerted police.
French police had earlier confirmed that Magnotta had flown to Paris from
They also said he escaped by the skin of his teeth after spending the night in
a hotel in Bagnolet, an eastern suburb of Paris.
Cops tracked him to a hotel and raided his room — but he had already left.
Some of the suspect's belongings were recovered and were sent for DNA tests.
They include porn mags and, bizarrely, plane sick bags — thought to have
been taken from the flight he took from Montreal.
Multiple sightings of him had been reported in the French capital.
Investigators say a video posted online of a man killing another man with an
ice pick shows Jun Lin's murder.
Body parts believed to belong to the dead man were posted to different
political parties in Canada.
Magnotta reportedly worked as a bisexual porn actor and model.

In Tess, Tennant offers us an interpretation of Hardy's novel that places the real women in the author's life at its centre. His obsession with a milkmaid, Augusta Way, who became the model for his tragic heroine, and her daughter, Gertrude Bugler, who played Tess in his stage adaptation of the book, is, she suggests, symptomatic of the author's revulsion for real women and his fantasies of destroying them. 'When Thomas Hardy falls in love,' an omniscient voice tells us, 'he falls in love with his own creation. His is the male, controlling imagination that devours women in its lair. Monster eats the Muse.'
But that's only half the story. Seventy years later, in the late Sixties, little has changed. The spirit of the doomed Tess lives on. Liza Lu, plain-faced sister of another dark, beautiful Tess, relates a story to two little girls, Ella and Baby Tess, her sister's grandchild. The young girls are blank pages onto which a different set of possiblities might be inscribed. Liza Lu's tale speaks of a murder, of rape, revenge, betrayal, and takes in the ancient history of Dorset as a metaphor for women's loss of power. Tess and Liza Lu grow up in the Fifties, with dreams of washing machines and clean-cut hubbies kissing them goodbye on the porch. Their father, one of the last Victorians, is remote and preocccupied, their mother suffers bouts of madness and tells her daughters preposterous stories that the girls later realise are really 'the origins of the lies they had for so long been told'. Only by recovering those origins, says Liza Lu, can women break the cycle that has enslaved them for so long.
Tess is an ambitious novel, its fragmented structure reflecting the scattered imagination of its narrator and the vision of past and present she wants to convey. But it reads didactically, Liza Lu sounding like an incantatory sybil preaching from the pulpit, her sermon littered with modernday, feminist tropes: madness as a form of seeing, the prophetess 'driven mad by the constrictions of her life'; the young, beautiful woman as victim of predatory men; Goddess-worship overpowered by a phallocentric culture. But the process of feminist cultural archeology that begun in the Seventies has made these into cliches, divested of force. Revelations like these do not refresh or surprise, but cater neatly to a certain formulaic politics.
As does Tennant's fixation on the Sixties (revisited in The Adventures of Robina and Faustine as well as here) and the Pill as the origins of modern women's sexual oppression. 'This freedom, this sudden 'choice',' Lisa Lu opines about the Pill, 'only succeeded in removing any possible moral reasons for men to take the consequences of their actions.' The grain of truth in this becomes lost in a dune of polemic.
By far the strongest section, and parts of it are brilliant, is that which focuses on Hardy and his Muse. Here, Tennant does more than rework an existing story. Instead, she fuses fact, metaphor and speculation into an imaginative whole that could have been the core of an exceptional work of fiction. As Hardy's obsession with the young actress Gertrude grows, the different strands of narrative slide together. Gertrude, playing Tess in the script written for her, becomes indistinguishable from the modern Tess; Liza Lu merges with Gertrude's younger sister as she watches the film of the novel, and falls in love with Angel Clare's celluloid incarnation. The effect is dazzling, like looking into a kaleidoscope. Like reading a great novel.

Process management is a crucial issue in developing information or computer systems. Theories of software development process management suggest that the process should be supported and managed based on what the process really is. However, our learning from an action research study reveals that the requirements engineering (RE) process differs significantly from that which the current literature tends to describe. The process is not a systematic, smooth and incremental evolution of the requirements model, but involves occasional simplification and restructuring of the requirements model. This revised understanding of the RE process suggests a new challenge to both the academic and industrial communities, demanding new process management approaches. In this paper, we present our understanding of the RE process and its implications for process management.

Macmillan Cancer Relief. MPs and peers let their hair down for the two-hour show - but did not miss the opportunity for some good-humoured snipes. Other highlights included the Lord Chancellor Lord Falconer as Jim Hacker in a sketch from the BBC's Yes Minister.
Commons rock band MP4 started the show with host Michael Portillo joking that guitar-playing Tony Blair may soon have the free time to join in. Featuring Labour MPs Ian Cawsey and Kevin Brennan, Tory Greg Knight and the SNP's Pete Wishart - a former member of Celtic band Runrig - the band left some of the audience slightly dazed after a rendition of the Oasis song Don't Look Back In Anger.
Lord Colwyn lead a high-tempo jazz and blues set, with MP Kenneth Purchase impressive on vocals.
A West End musical-style Prime-Minister's Questions - The Opera involved some tongue-in-cheek shots from all sides. Liberal Democrat Lembit Opik, Tory Nigel Evans and Mr Cawsey mimicked their party leaders, with choruses including "Don't cry for us angry Tony - the truth is we never loved you" and "Who do you think you are kidding Mr Howard, if you think we're on the run."

Vietnam vet uses rake to kill fox in Henry Co.
HENRY COUNTY, Ga. - A fox went after pets and people early Thursday morning, but a Vietnam veteran stepped in to stop the attack.
James Mouzon, 63, says he was armed only with a rake and his walker when he went outside to check on his dogs.
"All of a sudden it just hit me, and I was just trying to protect myself," he said.
Mouzon had just stepped into his yard off of Golden Acres Drive in Stockbridge, Henry County.
That's when he says the fox suddenly turned his attention from the dogs to him.
"It charged me and he got right at the bottom of the walker and got in the air," said Mouzon. "So, I fell and my legs gave out. I took the rake and caught him up in midair."
He used the tool to kill the fox.
Neighbor Michelle Swadley believes it was the same animal that attacked her, her husband and her dog just hours earlier.
"It was hanging on the back of my flip-flop," said Swadley.
She says the fox was relentless and only ran away after her husband kicked it.
"Everybody needs to know because we didn't go at it," she said. "It attacked us. It kept coming back and that worries me for people."
Especially with the number of recent rabies cases and fox attacks in Henry County.
Swadley says she's thankful for her neighbor's actions and the fact that she won't have to watch the woods and worry.
"He's not going to bother you anymore," Mouzon told his 4-year-old granddaughter. "Pop-Pop got the bad fox."
Mouzon adopted two dogs just a month ago, but said they had to be put down after the attack.
The state lab will need to run tests to determine if the fox had rabies.

Cooperative prey capture by young subsocial spiders: II. Behavioral mechanism

Subsocial spiders demonstrate an intermediate stage in the evolution of permanent sociality. Cooperative hunting is an important attribute of their sociality, but has not been documented in subsocial arthropods. After cannibalizing their mother, young of the subsocial spider Amaurobius ferox (Araneae, Amaurobiidae) remain together for several instars and feed communally. We monitored the collective prey capture behavior of the spiderlings. All the clutches showed collective capturing sequence (latency–orientation–moving–touching–seizing–feeding) toward the prey that was 10 times more massive than each individual. The first three individuals that exhibited attacking behavior were responsible for 90% of the total number of attacks, while 68% of the individuals within the group never exhibited attacks during the first 10 min following the introduction of prey into the communal web. First arriving individuals at the prey most often seized the antennae and legs of the prey, which probably facilitate access to the prey for subsequent individuals. The spiderlings that arrived later occupied more likely the abdomen and thorax, which contain more nutrition than the extremities occupied earlier. The individual apportionment of collective hunting behavior suggests a coordinated teamwork among individuals.

2017 State of the Lateral Law Firm Market


text:
Ah, New Year's Day: a time for the sorrows of the past 12 months to melt, by way of a sozzled fug, into rampant optimism for the year ahead. But 2007 could be the year you face professional extinction.
Sure, there's plenty for adland to be optimistic about... if it's up for a challenge. But, frankly, anyone who isn't might as well stay in bed tomorrow. Because if there's one thing that will define the next year, it's dramatic and irreversible change.
The processes of advertising, give or take the arrival of television and computers, was pretty set for a hundred years or so. But digital is the rocket up the arse of the old world order and is about to blow it to smithereens. This year will be the tipping point, when advertising becomes democratised. Commercial communication can no longer be the preserve of the big ad agency, with its thick departmental layers, many-mouthed and hungry. The marketer's purse is now in open play.
From digital agencies winning traditional above-the-line assignments to branding agencies working across all consumer touch-points, to media owners cutting out the advertising middle-man, to YouTubers making their own ads, the marketer's options just exploded. And with this explosion some control - control over how a brand is portrayed, perceived - must be ceded.
The seeds of the 2007 revolution have already been sown. Here are just a few examples that should send ad agencies' blood running cold. Glue, one of the hottest agencies creating advertising online, is currently pitching for its first off-line creative assignment - the £10m Eurostar account. Why would any sensible advertiser have a digital agency and a traditional agency if it can get great work, on-line and off-line, from a single agency source? Meanwhile, new brands are emerging that are building their businesses without an ad agency in sight, thank you very much. Take Ella's Kitchen, a kitchen-table start-up (by Ella's dad, Paul Lindley) selling organic children's food that has become one of the retail success stories of the last year.
The brand has been advertised on satellite channels in a deal - sure to become a blueprint - with Viacom Brand Solutions, which sells ad-slots on channels including Nickelodeon. Viacom made the ad and then swapped the airtime (worth millions of pounds in revenue) for a share in Ella's Kitchen's profits. Without this sort of deal Ella's Kitchen would have struggled to afford TV advertising and the retailers (who like to see real marketing support for the brands they list) would have jealously guarded their shelf-space.
It's not just media companies that are making ads. Type "Diet Coke" or "Sony Bravia" into YouTube and you'll find plenty of films about these brands made by punters, some of them celebratory, some of them sacrilegious, all of them prime examples of consumers taking ownership of brand communications; marketing directors (and their ad budgets) go hang.
So where does all of this democratisation leave traditional ad agencies?
For those prepared to rip up decades of certainties and embrace a much looser definition of advertising, the revolution should be good news: creating compelling commercial content has never been more necessary.
The days of the couch-potato viewer waiting to be served a diet of mostly mediocre TV programmes, and mostly mediocre ads, are drawing to a close. In the new, digital, world, consumer empowerment rules and we're no longer happy to watch what the schedulers deem fit. So 2007 will be the year of television on-demand and, as broadcasters become content suppliers rather than content schedulers (most of them are well on the way to supplying content digitally and on-line for us to watch when we choose), the way we see ads will change. With TV on-demand, advertising will become both more and less targeted. More targeted because digital technology means advertisers will be able to identify exactly the right consumers for their brands and deliver personalised TV ads to individual households. Less targeted because, if viewers are watching TV programmes on-demand rather than to a TV schedule, the ability to determine when, where and how often a consumer will see your commercial message evaporates. And then, of course, digital technology also allows us to avoid ads more efficiently than ever.
For good ad agencies, all of this should be good news. For not-so-good agencies, it could be very bad news indeed. Great ads (like, say, last year's Sony Bravia "paint" spot by Fallon) will be sought out by interested consumers, passed around virally, pastiched mercilessly and TV sets will be sold. Bad ads will disappear without trace and so, too, will some bad agencies.
But it's no good just making a good ad anymore. In 2007 the pre-release activity behind a blockbuster commercial will emerge as a military operation in its own right. A blockbuster ad will be PR-ed (watch out over the next few days for the onslaught supporting the debut of the new PG Tips ad starring the old ITV Digital monkey and his side-kick Johnny Vegas for a lesson in how to do it). It will be seeded on the web (teasers, previews, making-ofs...). There will be planned word-of-mouth (screenings and brand experiences for opinion-formers)
So 2007 will demand a new advertising lexicon. "Advertising" is increasingly too scant to describe what ad agencies will have to do if they are to survive in this new world order.
NOW FOR some crystal-ball predictions for the advertising village grassroots. And, yes, change is top of the agenda.
There will be undoubtedly be more acquisitions this year: Clemmow Hornby Inge will continue to be wooed by several holding companies - will Havas prove the sweetest partner?
With creative media-led thinking in the ascendancy, Naked, now a fully-fledged international business, will be near the top of a few shopping lists too. Its rival Michaelides and Bednash, which has flirted with potential purchasers for some time now, could find itself back in fashion.
Meanwhile, the identity-less Draft/FCB could be the first creative agency to seriously pull media planners back in-house this year, but what would that mean for sibling media agency Initiative? Its sister Interpublic agency McCann-Erickson is said to be looking for a UK purchase, though there's not much worth buying unless Mother caves in (would there be any marriage more counter-cultural?). And definitely all of the best digital independents will be approached this year with acquisition offers.
Expect some dramatic changes at WPP after mixed fortunes at its UK agencies in 2006. Could success at Rainey Kelly Campbell Roalfe Y&R foster a new start-up from amongst the management ranks? Could the lack of real success at Grey have a similar effect?
Change must certainly come at JWT, which limps into 2007 as a wounded concern. Meanwhile, over at the terminal, United, change must eventually be of phoenix proportions.
The fact is that, with the industry at large facing such seismic upheaval, no agency can afford to have structural weaknesses. The real - and largely unresolved - question is what exactly is the best agency-structure for the digital age. It's a question that 2007 must answer. Happy New Year.
As you nurse your New Year hangover, a few uncomfortable questions: Did you vomit in the back of a cab last night? Or start a fight? Or wet yourself?
People do some quite disgusting things when drunk. Many of them are toe-curlingly portrayed in a new ad from JWT (quite possibly the best thing they've done all year) in association with MTV (which provides free advertising airtime) and Auto Trader.
Check out "Christmas Drunks Idiots" on YouTube to see the grisly, funny detail. I defy you to watch this ad and not have at least one moment of excruciating self-awareness: is there anybody out there who hasn't been this drunk?
The point of the ad, though, and the neat twist at the end, is that the real idiots are not the guys in such a state that they chunder in the cab. The real idiots are the ones who try to drive themselves home.
It might not have the gruesomeness of some anti-drink-drive commercials, but I reckon the target market will actually seek it out, choose to watch it. I hope it works. And respect to cabbies everywhere.

West Brom boss Steve Clarke slams 'greedy' Peter Odemwingie
STEVE CLARKE reckons Peter Odemwingie's possible move to QPR is being driven by greed.
The ball's back in QPR's court, but, obviously, Peter's comments haven't helped the situation
Manager Clarke yesterday slammed Odemwingie's advisers for turning the player's head, saying: "Where there is a lot of money, there is normally a bit of greed and that's what's driving it.
"The ball's back in QPR's court, but, obviously, Peter's comments haven't helped the situation. I feel Peter has been badly advised."

Highly recommend-- 5 star in every department from rooms to amenities to service.... don't be off-put by the name! Just an incredible stay. Room was incredible, service was personalized and super quick with everything-- room service, bellman...overall beautiful stay. Wish we had had time to use the saltwater pool!
callippo - Toronto, Canada
Was in a deluxe suite, beautiful inside with good space size, I love the whole design of the hotel, almost everything with crystal or glasses. Impress design with decent service, in-room service was also fast with good care. Nothing to complaint. Soundproof design with innovative technique in the suite. Electrical control for everything in the suite, electrical fireplace, heated floor, electrical curtain control, light and mood control. Lots of free compliment chocolates and waters. Fast on both check-in and check-out. There is access on business center, printer and computer are free to use. It's very convenient.

Another amazing experience! This is the second time I have stayed at Trump Toronto and once again I was blown away! The service is impeccable and the rooms are absolute luxury. The front desk team was prompt in helping me with my check in and all my needs - they also had an extra charger we could use as we forgot ours at home. The doormen were very friendly and welcomed us every time we returned to the hotel. The room was beautiful and well cleaned - (thanks Genelyn for the clean room!). The hotel felt very safe, was very well taken care of and there were absolutely no problems with noise from other rooms or outside. Would recommend to anyone staying in the city and can't wait to return to the Trump Toronto! Thank you to the team for such an amazing stay!

Having read the reviews about the hotel I was a little unsure as to what to expect. From the time we encountered the valet until the time we were bid goodbye the level of service was absolutely 5 star. We stayed in an amazing 2 bedroom suite which was perhaps a bit sparse on furniture in the sitting room but otherwise superb. The bedrooms were beautifully decorated and fitted with the latest technological features. The bed & linens were very high end and comfortable beyond words. We enjoyed a delicious lunch in the in-house restaurant and a perfect room service breakfast. The stay was worth every penny. The service was particularly memorable.
Bonollie89 - Saint Thomas, Canada
We have stayed in all Toronto hotels and stayed in the biggest rooms. The rooms at the Trump are my favorite. The rooms are more elegant and well appointed. We've stayed here with our four children previously, and the room service menu for kids is amazing and reasonably priced. The staff at valet and concierge are nice, but it's hit or miss with front desk (only because of one bad experience). The restaurant (America) at the top is fun spot without kids. This is my Toronto hotel of choice.

Originally posted on World Series Dreaming | Last updated 5/24/13
Just when I thought this team was heating up a bit they decide to prove me wrong by forgetting how to hit. Let's hope that the bats wake up for the series against the Reds, but for now, let's recap the last series vs. the Pirates. 5/21 vs. Pirates: L 4-5 5/22 vs. Pirates: L 0-1 5/23 vs. Pirates: L 2-4 5/21- Matt Garza's first game back from the DL didn't have the ending he probably expected. The hype around his return to the rotation was big, and with a good reason. Cubs' starters have been the bright spot this season, but adding a starting pitcher that has a good record and no-hitter type stuff is always good. In his first start since July 21, 2012, Garza was expected to have a pitch limit between 80-90 pitches. He pitched five innings (82 pitches) walked three, struck out five and gave up only one hit, zero runs. He got some offense behind him; Alfonso Soriano and Welington Castillo singled and Darwin Barney delivered an RBI single. Garza then doubled to drive in two more runs and give the Cubs a 3-0 lead. However, Pirates' Travis Snider came in to spoil the party. The Pirates loaded the bases in the sixth against Hector Rondon; James Russell then took over and walked Pedro Alvarez to force in a run. Shawn Camp replaced Russell with two outs in the sixth, and Snider hit a pitch into the bleachers for his first career grand slam. That was the tenth blown save for the Cubs in 45 games…not a stat to be proud of. Shawn Camp has now given up six runs over 5 1/3 innings in May, but he is currently on the DL with a toe injury. 5/22- Jeff Samardzija is familiar with the Pirates; he beat them on Opening Day limiting them to two hits over eight scoreless innings to pick up the win. On Wednesday, he did pretty much the same thing, he was stellar. He pitched seven innings giving up only one run on three hits while striking out eight, but thanks to the lack of offense, he got another "L" on his record. This was another wasted quality start by a Cubs starter. They have 28 quality starts, where they have given up three runs or less and have a 1.98 ERA over that span of games. To say that the Cubs have struggled with runners in scoring position is an understatement. Those struggles became very evident in the third inning. The Cubs loaded the bases with none out, but Julio Borbon hit into a fielder's choice, forcing the runner at home plate, Starlin Castro struck out and Anthony Rizzo flied out. The Pirates got all the runs they needed in the first inning when Andrew McCutchen doubled with two outs and scored on Garrett Jones' single. 5/23- Edwin Jackson was only able to pitch three innings thanks to a rain delay that forced that game into a halt. I'm thinking that was a good thing since Jackson didn't come out with his best stuff. Before the rain delay, the Pirates had already scored all the runs they would need. Edwin Jackson allowed four runs on six hits over three inniogs of work. Pirates' Andrew McCutchen had a great game; he hit two RBI singles, stole two bases and scored a run before Travis Snider would add one more with his RBI triple. The Cubs offense was once again missing. Anthony Rizzo and Alfonso Soriano alone were a combined 3-for-25 all series with only one RBI. With this win, the Pirates completed the sweep and improved their record to 14-6 in the month of May. The Cubs, however, have lost five of their last six, including the last four games. Looking Ahead The Cubs continue their road trip with three games against the Reds beginning this afternoon. Here are the probable pitchers and game details: Chicago Cubs vs. Cincinnati Reds Friday, May 24, 2013 @ 6:10 p.m. CT Scott Feldman, RHP (4-3, 2.19 ERA) vs. Bronson Arroyo, RHP (4-4, 3.28 ERA) Chicago Cubs vs. Cincinnati Reds Saturday, May 25, 2013 @ 3:10 p.m. CT Travis Wood, LHP (4-2, 2.24 ERA) vs. Homer Bailey, RHP (2-3, 3.09 ERA) Chicago Cubs vs. Cincinnati Reds Sunday, May 26, 2013 @ 12:10 p.m. CT Matt Garza, RHP vs. Johnny Cueto, RHP (2-0, 3.22 ERA) Thank you so much for reading and as always, Go Cubs! -Ivy

Gameplay for this new handheld title mimics its console cousin well. With my short time with the game, I couldn't tell a discernible difference from the PS3 title. The maps are split up into smaller segments to fit on the PSP, but it doesn't hurt the game at all. The entire mission will be about the same size, it's just with bite-size portions. The only big change is that players will use the PSP's analog nub for wider controls and the D-pad for more exact control.
One thing that players will be happy with is the ability to customize their classes and main character. Classes can be improved upon and specialized further, although we weren't able to take a look at this in action on our demo. As well, the main character's class can be changed, so players won't be limited to the character in the tank like the first game.
Fans of Valkyria Chronicles will love the second game, especially with it being on the go. Keep watch to RPGFan for more on Valkyria Chronicles 2 as it gets closer to release.

Yet another global BlackBerry service outage hits consumers
This latest BlackBerry outage brings back memories of the infamous service disruption of 2011.
New Delhi: BlackBerry users from across the world are reporting issues with accessing BlackBerry services. A search for 'BlackBerry outage' or 'BlackBerry down' on Twitter leads to numerous recent results with many being constantly added, hinting at a major service disruption.
In a tweet from its official Twitter ID BlackBerry said, "Some of our customers may be experiencing issues with BlackBerry services. We are investigating and apologize for any inconvenience."
This latest BlackBerry outage brings back memories of the infamous service disruption of 2011 that frustrated millions of its customers around the world.
The last major disruption in BlackBerry services had pumped up pressure on its BlackBerry management to make sweeping changes.
BlackBerry is currently in a revival mode with the launch of a new operating system BlackBerry 10 and two high-end phones - the Z10 and the Q10 and a service outage at this point could deal a major blow to the Canadian company's reputation.

text: The students at Brewer High School can count the number of days they have left of school on one hand. But their end-of-year celebration today involved both hands and feet, and also costumes and props.The students at Brewer High have been working, so hard, all school year long. Today, they got "Footloose." The school was making a video called a "lip dub.""It's basically like a continuous music video throughout the school, people in different stations singing the lyrics. It's great," says junior, Rachel Caron.Caron helped choreograph some dances, and a hundred other students were planted around the school, showing off their many skills. It's all timed out so when English teacher Andrea Martin comes through with a camera it matches to the music, dubbed in later. It's done in one shot."Awesomeness. A lot of awesomeness," Caron says."It's just something fun to do, you'll always remember it," says junior, Brandon McCarthy.Lip dubs are a hit on the internet– these students got the idea after Bucksport High School students made one this spring. From there, it's been after-school rehearsals and several takes in the making."You know, if you look at the video it looks like it was easy, but there are a lot of little details. It's been over a month of preparation, organizing, and getting to where we are today," Martin says.So "Oohwee, Marie," you might be asking yourself – why do this?"We've found that it's built a lot of school spirit. It's really connecting students before they leave for the summer, and it's just drawn a diversity of students," Martin says."Just to get everyone's school spirit up, get them involved," Caron says.And to kick off their shoes, after another school year well done.

A friend was studying architecture at an establishment on the Euston Road, which is about as busy a thoroughfare as you'll find in London. In his final year the whole class were charged with coming up with a radical reworking of every element of the environment immediately surrounding the college. They were encouraged to have the most blue-sky ideas. They planned to get all the local faith groups to share the one worship centre – that's how blue-sky their thinking was. However, the one thing they weren't allowed to "re-imagine", the thing that was taken as a given, was the six lanes of heavy traffic hurtling past their classroom windows day and night until doomsday.
The message was that while leisure spaces were all well and good, cars had priority. In The Politics Of Architecture (Tuesday, 9am, R4) Jonathan Glancey examines how the people responsible for the built environment are weaning themselves off some of those old ideas. Distinguished architects such as Terry Farrell describe how the main thing that once governed the layout of housing developments was the turning circle of a refuse collection vehicle. The stress in architecture nowadays is as likely to be on the spaces between the buildings as on the buildings themselves, and the overriding aim is to create a sense of place. A lot of it's in the language, which is where the politics comes in. A street is for people, a road is for cars. The street is what matters because, as Farrell says, in most cases it outlives the buildings along it.
Philip Short's biography of Mitterrand (weekdays, 9.45am, R4) is certainly an interesting account of one of postwar France's key political figures, though Henry Goodman's reading, in which he mimics the voice and character of everyone from Helmut Kohl to François' teenage girlfriend, veers at times towards 'Allo 'Allo. Mitterrand was difficult to read, what with his two families and unpredictable political allies. He liked Thatcher, even when she exasperated him. She spoke French better than he spoke English, but with a strong accent. "If you close your eyes it could be Jane Birkin," he said.
Should you feel a debilitating cold coming on, there's no better week for it to arrive. Radio 4 Extra is beginning their repeat of all 19 parts of The Complete Smiley, starting with Call For The Dead (Saturday, 6am, R4 Extra). Subsequent episodes in Smiley's career, from The Looking Glass War to The Secret Pilgrim, follow each morning at not quite such unsocial hours. Simon Russell Beale plays our frogular spymaster with actors of the calibre of Kenneth Cranham, Eleanor Bron and Geoffrey Palmer as sundry executives of the Circus plus a star-studded chorus of pavement artists, inquisitors, scalp-hunters and mothers. None of the screen adaptations have got more out of the mordant music of John Le Carré than this brilliant version, which was first broadcast in 2009.
The Secret World (Thursday, 6.30pm, R4) is another attempt to make radio impressionists click with the times. The problem is that while some public personalities have voices that beg to be parodied, others don't. William Hague is always funny. Alex Salmond not so much. There's also a new series of That Mitchell And Webb Sound (Tuesday, 6.30pm, R4), where the best sketch is about how you shouldn't beat a joke into the ground. They prove this point by beating a joke into the ground.

Old Woman
Jennifer reached the car park two minutes later. If anyone thought it odd that such an old, old lady was walking with the speed and energy of someone much younger, it didn't really matter to her now. She pressed the button on her car key, unlocking all the doors on her new BMW, then slid into the back seat.
With a glance around the deserted car park, she took off the felt hat, the grey curly wig, and the very heavy coat, which had been beginning to make her sweat, and shook her long blonde hair free. She bundled the coat, hat and wig into a black bin-bag, dumped the shopping bag in the footwell - there would be time enough to inspect the contents later - and climbed out of the car, and into the front seat. A twist of the key in the ignition, and she was sailing out of the car park and toward her flat.
As she drove, she thought about the incident she had just witnessed. Of course, she had seen everything, and she was genuinely shaken, but considerably more so when the policeman had turned up on the scene. Now, that had made her heart beat a lot faster, and she hadn't had to fake the tremble in her hands. Man! That had been real. Her eyes hadn't met those of the policeman, in case he had noticed that her skin was a little too youthful, her eyes a little too clear. Surely, law enforcement officers were trained to notice these things. Perhaps this one was a little dim, or was it just that people, even the police, see what they want to see? Looking back on it, he would hardly have had reason to inspect her old ladyish shopping bag, would he? But that hadn't stopped her being a little worried.
When she arrived home, she grabbed the bin-bag and shopping bag from the back of the car. She deposited the former into a wheelie-bin outside the flats; after all, she never wore the same outfit twice for her excursions. Wigs were easily obtained on the internet. She'd pick up a new hat and coat from a charity shop. There was always the possibilty that the shopping bag would be recognised, but it was a very slim chance. It was a very ordinary bag, hardly distinguishable from any carried by any other elderly person.
She looked down at the horrible polyester dress, as she waited for the lift. The pattern was one of turquoise roses on a lime green background. Revolting. But as it was completely hidden by her coat, it didn't really matter. It was just there to help her stay ''in character'', and she was starting to think of it, superstitiously as her ''lucky dress''.
She pushed open her front door and dropped the shopping bag in the hallway. Going straight to the bathroom, she started to run the shower, and pulled the polyester dress off, over her shoulders, and straight into the laundry basket.
After a long, hot shower, she wrapped herself in her favourite towelling robe and lay back on the bed. As always, after these excursions, she was tired - even more so after the unexpected event during this one. As she dozed off, she remembered the face of the other person at the scene of the crash. Had it been her imagination, or had they looked at her a little too closely, when she had smiled and raised her eyebrows? Oh well...no matter. She wasn't likely to see that person again anyway.
As she slept, her cat, Rolly, wandered out of the kitchen and over to the ordinary-looking shopping bag in the hall. He batted at the bag, until it tipped over. He sniffed at the bag of white powder - one of six - which tumbled out, then moved on, disinterested, and went into the living room for a nap on the couch.

Sugar Free Rugelach
Happy Healthy Holidays!
Need to watch sugar intake? Try this Sugar Free Rugelach version. There are as many ways to spell the Rugelach as there are fillings to put in them. In the old country, Rugelach was made with butter instead of cream cheese and shaped like crescent rolls.
Recipe Ingredients
1 cup butter or margarine
8 ounces reduced fat cream cheese, softened
2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup chopped raisins
1 cup chopped walnuts
2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
1 cup apricot spreadable fruit
Recipe Directions
Cream together the margarine and cream cheese in the bowl of an electric mixer. Blend in the vanilla.
Mix in the flour. Chill the dough.
To make the Filling: Mix together the chopped raisins, chopped walnuts, and cinnamon. If you have a food processor, place the whole walnuts and raisins into the bowl, sprinkle with the cinnamon, and chop them together by processing in short pulses.
Divide the dough into 4 equal portions. Roll out each portion into a 10 to 12 inch circle 1/8 inch thick on a lightly floured board or between two sheets of waxed paper.
Spread a light layer of preserves (approximately 2 tablespoons) onto each dough circle. Sprinkle each circle with approximately 1/4 cup of the chopped nut-raisin-cinnamon mixture.
Cut each circle into 16 wedges using a pastry cutter or a pizza cutter. Roll each wedge from base to point. Place point down on a lightly greased or parchment lined baking sheets.
Bake for 15 to 17 minutes at 375 degrees (or until golden). Remove to racks to cool.
Nutrition Information
Recipe makes 64 servings Sugar Free Rugelach cookies.

Copyright 2013, Studio 1 Productions, written by David Knarr
If you are having performance problems with your computer, especially when you are editing video,
rendering video or the playback of the video starts to stutter, the first thing you want to do is check the temperature
of the video card.
One of the best programs to monitor your computers temperatures, including the video card's GPU temperature, is HWMonitor. The program is free and we use it in house here at Studio 1 Productions when testing new equipment and for general temperature monitoring.
Simply go to www.cpuid.com and click on the Software Tab.
Then click on HWMonitor, this is the free version. Then download the latest version.
Note: HWMonitor Pro is a paid version and the plain HWMonitor is the free version.
When you run HWMonitor, it will show you the CPU Voltages, Diode 1 & 2 Temperatures, Fan Speeds, ACPI Temp, the CPU temps, the GPU (Video Card) Temps, the Hard Drive temps and more, depending on your computer.
Note: Diode 2 can give a false reading so don't worry at it. It's not used on a lot of motherboards and the false reading will be really high.
Leaving the program running in background can be a great benefit to you, as it allows you to see the actual temp Value, the Minimum temp since the program was started and the Maximum temp that the computer or any of the components it is monitoring hit while HWMonitor is running.
Like most other temperature monitoring programs, the temperatures are given in Celsius, with the Fahrenheit temps in parentheses.
If you are experiencing any problems, first thing you should do is shut the computer down and let it cool down for about 30 minutes.
The boot the computer back up and run HWMonitor and keep it running. Notice what the temps are for each component, especially the video card.
Now go back to editing, rendering or playing back video and try to duplicate the problem. As soon as you notice any performance problems look at the HWMonitor program and look under the Max temps and compare them to the current value and the minimum temps for the GPU.
Once you know the temps, look in the video card's manual or online at the video card's manufacture's website to see what the proper operating temperature range should be. If the temps you are getting are on the high end and close to the max temperature for the card, then you may want to looking into some extra cooling for the video card.
Cooling Your Video Card
Let's take a look at two options for adding extra cooling to your video card. First, you need to know which video card type you have. Look below and you will see an open video card and a closed video card.
If you take a look at the video card on the left, the Heat Sink and
components on the video card are all exposed. We'll call this an open card. The fan pulls air in and
it is blown across the Heat Sink to cool the video card.
The video card on the right, has a cover over the circuit board enclosing the Heat Sink and the components. We'll call this a closed card. With the Closed Card, the fan pulls air in and it is blown out the back where the Air Vents are.
Let's take a look at cooling an Open Card first.
If you have an Open Card you can add a slot fan cooler below the video card to improve the cooling. There are 3 different types of slot fan coolers, as shown below:
Let's go over each one of these.
Exhaust Blower - The idea behind this type of fan is to pull warm air from the video card into the fan and have it blow out the back of the computer case. We have tried these. While they do work somewhat, they are not going to give you the amount of cooling you are going to need for your video card. I don't recommend them alone.
Twin Cooling Fans - The twin cooling fans will blow air directly onto the video card and the heat sink. In testing this type of fan we saw a good reduction in the GPU temperatures at both idle and under load while using the Mercury Playback Engine in Premiere CS5. The most of the warm air is blown around the video card and vented out the back of the computer using the computer's main system fan, we did notice some of the warm air is trapped between the video card and the fan. We ran a test with a non-toxic smoke so we could see the air flow. If you choose the twin cooling fans, make sure you get one with a fan speed control. This will allow you to adjust the fan speed so the noise from the fan isn't too loud.
AzenX Blitztorm Cooling Fan and Exhaust Blower - This slot fan has a 70mm fan and a 70mm exhaust blower. The idea with this fan is for the cooling fan to blow air onto the video card, while the exhaust blower pulls the warm air that is trapped between cooling fan and the video card, out the back of the computer. We had the BEST results with this cooling fan/exhaust blower combination.
With the system sitting idle for about 2 hours without the AzenX Blitztorm cooler, the video card temps would be around 50c. With the AzenX Blitztorm cooler installed the temps dropped to 38c.
While editing with Premiere CS5 for about 2 hours with out this cooler, the temps would be around 60c. Once we put in the AzenX Blitztorm cooler, after editing for about 2 hours, the temps were now around 48c. So it really does work. Below is a picture of it in one of our systems here at Studio 1 Productions.
1. The air blows up and on to the video card. With the warm air being moved towards the
exhaust blower.
2. The warm air from the video card is then exhausted out the back of the computer via the blower.
The AzenX Blitztorm BT-SC70BBL PCI Slot Case Cooler is not expensive, the are in the $20 to $25 price range. One nice thing about the AzenX Blitztorm cooler is, you can also adjust the speeds of the fans. We have ours turned up about 1/2 way and this gives us good cooling while keeping the fan noise down to where you can't hear the fans. The fan on the AzenX Blitztorm can be tilted so you can position the direction you want the air to blow. When you first get one, the fan is set to blow away from the video card. Simply swing the fan around until it is blowing towards the video card. We have tried our where it is blowing straight up at the card and where it was blowing more towards the back of the computer where the exhaust blower is. We didn't notice any difference in the temps of the video card with it blowing the air towards the exhaust blower. So we left it just blowing straight up on to the video card.
NOTE: If you choose the AzenX Blitztorm or a slot cooler with 2 fans, when you put it the computer, keep at least 1 slot open between the video card and the slot cooler. This will allow for better air flow and better cooling.
Now Let's Look at Options for Cooling a Closed video card
Since the heat sinks and the components are enclosed, a AzenX Blitztom or a card with Twin Cooling Fans won't do you much good since the air from the fans won't get to the circuit board or the heat sink.
So that leave one option, to replace the stock cooling fan with a system like below.
These do a fantastic job at keeping the video card cool. However, I must say
if you are not a computer techie, DO NOT try installing it yourself. Call a computer store or find a computer
tech who has installed an aftermarket cooler before and let them do it so you don't screw up anything. Also,
this type of replacement cooling system can take 2, 3 or 4 slots in your computer, depending on which manufacturer
and model you purchase.
Also, once you install an aftermarket cooler on the video card, it will void your video card's warranty since you have "modified" the video card. But, this may not really matter to some people.
If you have a video card that looks something like this:
There really isn't much more you can do to cool the video card and you shouldn't have to.
This comes from the manufacturer with dual fans and heat pipes, so it will do a great job keeping the video card cool.
Keeping it Clean
No matter which cooling option you go for, about every 6 months you should buy a can of compressed air and blow any dust that has accumulated on the fan blades and heat sinks. By removing the dust, it will really improve the cooling and performance of the fans.
In Conclusion
By keeping the video card cool, this will improve the performance of the video card and your editing experience. Any program that uses the GPU can cause the video card to overheat and for you to have performance problems. While the manufacturers put fans on the video cards, they sometimes are not enough, especially with Adobe Premiere CS5 and the Mercury Playback Engine. The GPU is heavily used, so if the video card is not kept cool, you will see the video stutter when you play the video on the time line, you can have rendering errors or the video will render slow or you may experience other problems.
Monitor the video temperatures and keep your video card cool.

Byrne City was the capital city of Demophon. Located on the continent Junno, Byrne City was domed to protect its denizens from Demophon's fierce atmosphere. The city was connected to Demophon's other major cities through a series of underground tunnels that allowed those fleeing the unstoppable destruction of the planet to arrive at the planet's primary spaceport, Byrneport.
The city was destroyed along with Demophon when the system's star went nova.
