Thanks for the nice comment, I can't wait to see what you made (maybe it's a "Gargleblaster?")
Yes, its a very good thing!
"One More Gargleblaster" is what appears when you type "O, M, & G" all together. I guess it's the "God" reference?
Like this... One more gargleblaster! See?
If you type anything woot considers offensive, the "wootbot" will replace it with something silly & non-offensive, automatically.

The body of an employee of Britain's spy agency MI6 has been found in a bag in a central London apartment where he may have been murdered two weeks ago, British news media report.
The body of Gareth Williams, 31, was found Monday, stuffed in a large sports bag in his bath a few hundred yards from MI6 headquarters, the Daily Mail reports.
MI6 gathers secret information about Britain's overseas enemies, making the man a possible target of terrorists, the Mail says.
The BBC's security correspondent says it is not clear what the victim did for MI-6, but he was reportedly on loan from the Government Communications Headquarters, the electronic eavesdropping agency, implying he was a technical expert.
The Mail reports that Williams apparently was stabbed. In what it called a "bizarre ritualistic scene," his mobile phone and SIM cards had been carefully laid out elsewhere in the apartment.
Police broke into the apartment after the victim's colleagues at work noted that he had not been seen for at least 10 days.
A government spokesman would not confirm or deny whether the individual worked for the intelligence agency, the BBC reports.

Random, and that's a good thing
You have a lot of nice bits all thrown together. The melody is again repetitive, but I think the interesting variety of sounds makes up for it. I enjoyed listening a little harder to keep up with the pace and hear what you had came up with.
Thanks man, I actually like songs with lots of little chopped up bits put together. I guess that came out subconsciously while producing this song... xD Glad you like it though, and thanks for the review!
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
Really Great
I'm thinking this is one of my favorites from you as I just realized I've been listening to this loop for about an hour now...
Hahaha, damn man, that's awesome. Thank you!
Rated 4 / 5 stars
i'm liking it
it's some good stuff, could do with a louder bass, it's got a nice slow itro which i'm liking, but it the drop is sorta suffering
Yeah, I know what you mean, dood... I think the build/drop is one of the most important elements and if it lacks it can really mess up an otherwise good song. There's quite a few songs I know of that rely heavily on the build. I'd love to go back and give this tune a better one :)
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Another incredibly good track from you! I really like your work and this is just amazing. Although all I could wish for is, just as infoterror wrote, a bit stronger bass. But otherwise, damn man, you've blown my mind.
(A side not on this, I'm kinda new to Newgrounds. Been looking around for away to add people as friends but I can't seem to find that option, is it even possible? Was just reminded since you spoke about a friend in the comments.)
Wow, thanks, man! That really means a lot :) I'm glad you're liking my stuff that much! I've also heard the bass complaint quite a bit now, I regret not amping those lower frequencies.
And I don't think there's any way to add friends, sorry man. You CAN add favorite artists and songs. But that's probably as close as you're gonna get... :/
Rated 5 / 5 stars
im guessing you used FLsudio....
how many different 3cosc did you use? when im making mine i have like 15----is this toooo much?
There are exactly 0 3xosc's in this song :P Haha I used Massive for a lot of these basslines, man and Sytrus for some of the other ones. And I don't think there's such a thing as too many 3xoscs. As long they've all got a purpose then you're good, man!
Thanks a lot for your review btw, I appreciate that! :D

While traffic deaths were down last year in Ohio, the number was flat in Hancock County. The Courier reports there were six fatal accidents in the county in 2013, the same number that was reported in 2012. Of those crashes, alcohol was a factor in two of them, which was also the same figure in 2012. The number of traffic deaths in Hancock County has been steadily declining since 2007, when 11 people were killed on area roadways.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|I loaded the Dagger on my rack yesterday, by myself, and it went pretty smooth. I have a F250 with a Cargo Master rack. This is how I did it: stand the boat vertically on it's stern against the rear of the truck, rest the boat against the back bar of the rack, tip the boat onto the rack. It is not easy but doable. One you get the boat to the tipping point the weight of the boat above helps. My original plan of loading the boat upside down did not work as the beam was too wide, so deck up. A winch could probably be rigged to help loading and unloading. I'm working on that next.
I routinely cartop a 17-foot folding sea kayak that weighs about 80 lbs. I use a standard rack system with a product from Thule called a "rollercoatser", which allows rolling the boat up onto the rack with minimal effort. I then use two ratcheting tie-downs on the rack and two more on the bow and stern.
At 150 lbs., I'd check what your roof rack is rated for. If you have an aftermarket system, you should be OK, but some factory racks are pretty cheesy.
If you can get a hold of pdf of the original brochure it may have the correct spots to rest it so that it on the rack so it doesn't stress the deck. I have a Barnett butterfly (12ft) and it has diagrams and directions to top it.
Also invest in some ratcheting tie downs it will be the easiest and fastest way to secure it.
Used to cartop a small boat all the time, upside down always worked best for me regarding mileage, ease of loading etc.
My routine was to get the boat to the truck (explorer) stern to and upright, then stand it up leaning against the truck, which put almost half the length above the truck, so it was a simple effort to lift and slide it the rest of the way on.
I made up a roller bracket that sat in the space between hatch and roof and allowed me to slide the boat up without effort. Made from a pair of rollers from an old trailer I tore up, bolted to a length of aluminum "C" nothing held it to the truck except weight and the bend.
With a bigger boat (mine was 11ft) you'll have more weight in the air so the lifting would actually be less, but unless you can get under the boat to pull it on all the way, or use a winch, I'd rig a clamp on wheel that fits the bow and rides in a three sided wood track in the center. My truck was a beater so I didn't mind having to climb on the roof and pull it on the rest of the way.
car topping a small sailboat.
I just got a new to me Chrysler Dagger. 14'6" 150#. I want to car top it on a cargo rack on my pick up. Any how to suggestions?

yes Ive compared the two calibers, and just am not impressed with how the Hornady brand expands.... I know it (.40) would get the job done though ...
Let's remember what Col. Cooper said about the subject "Shoot the most powerful caliber that you can effectively control". Few can argue with LE statistics that confirm the .40 S&W lacks nothing in effective stopping power. Few can argue that the .40 S&W is a less effective caliber than the 9mm. More U.S. LEOs carry .40 S&W than ANY other caliber. Yeah, I own/shoot handguns that carry easier, shoot softer and pack more rounds. I also own handguns that are harder to conceal, pack more punch and with less round capacity. But it's ALWAYS that very series of individual compromises that establish our personal EDC/BUG choice. For me, the .40 S&W is the best compromise. Col. Cooper liked the .45 acp, but he also championed the eventually unsuccessful .41 ae in consideration of exactly the same compromises. BTW, is the .40 S&W really that hated?

I've been down the same road some have already talked about here. 45ACP, then 9mm, used to keep a 357mag under the seat in vehicle on long trips. I carried a lot on my small farms back in the days. When CC finally made it's debut in my state, I gave serious thought as to what I might actually carry concealed. The big pistols like my previous 1911A1's (full size), and previous Ruger P89DC were not a problem in the winter time when I could easily carry in a shoulder holster or OWB under a jacket or coat. Farmer boy goes to town for the first time and gotta think about not scaring the city folk so-to-speak. So......I didn't have the internet back in those days, but I got plenty of gun mags like Guns and Ammo, ShotgunNews, and other periodicals other than my normal American Rifleman mag (which came every single month back then). What I had to decide was how and what, then why. So........it came down to bigger and smaller. Closer to 45ACP, and size of 9mm. Realize this was long before 357sig was even thought of. 40S&W was on the rise, and you could get one in the same size pistol as 9mm offered from Glock. Capacity didn't matter to me, and it still doesn't for the most part. So for the concealed carry start of my life, I cut my teeth on the baby Glock 27 and worked on becoming proficient with it. My first pistol bought specifically for CC. Over the years, I got hooked on the Glock pistol design plain and simple. My Glock history really isn't important here, but I've owned many models and carried all of them, and used some for competition as well and still do. I can't speak for anyone else and their experiences with the 40S&W caliber.......can't speak for anyone who hasn't tried a Glock in 40cal either. I've never had a reason to try 40cal in anything other than Glock. It's my perfect round for many reasons, and my perfect pistol. I used to have at least five Glocks at my disposal at any time in three different calibers. Older is wiser especially putting experience and economics along with. Now I'm down to two 40cals, one 9mm, and one 45ACP.
While not many available calibers today could be accused of not being able to break skin out of a pocket pistol........the 40S&W caliber alone is like getting the most horsepower out of less cubic inches for an engine. I kind of like auto racing and technology as well. Hence the best analogy I can think of that makes the 40S&W the best caliber to test and work at being adapt with. All of my opinions are based solely on my personal experiments and experiences. I've also looked at the math.....back in the day looking through the most informative magazines instead of online.
Why does the 40S&W round get a bad rap these days? Like a lot of other things that get a bad rap these days..........education. One cannot get an education online (although you can get a degree that states you're educated online). Real world still works best IMO. I carry my 40's 90% of the time unless I feel like impressing myself with my ability to diversify.
"I carry my 40's 90% of the time unless I feel like impressing myself with my ability to diversify"
I like that saying. May have to adopt it.
Good to see some folks showing some love for the .40. There was a large thread here within the pat few months that addressed some rethinking from .40 back to 9mm with all attendant benefits to that change-over along with a couple more after that. There's been that poll running recently between the 9mm and the .40 that showed the 9mm around 70% and .40 around 30%. I was beginning to be surprised that it clawed its way to 30%.

Theodore Roosevelt, The Wilderness Hunter, 1893
Well first off I have read on the internet that the .40 beats the Browning Hi Power pretty badly and they do not last long. My own experiance with three .40s shows a tendency to push the bullet back in the case do to loading and unloading the same cartridge causing a high pressure condition in an allready high pressure cartridge. I got tired of watching bullet then setting them aside then wacking them in the bullet puller then seating them to the right depth. Sold the .40s, stayed with my stogey old .45s.
No complaints about the 40S&W from me, I EDC an M&P40 everyday. I also have a Gen4 Glock22 and Sigma SWVE40.
I roll with a G23 from time to time
One advantage to a .40 pistol is that you can usually supplement it with a 9mm barrel and/or .357 Sig.
I've read reports from Dr. Roberts showing the .40 to perform very well against intermediate barriers.

Hey now, I'm not going to beat up the 40. I actually like the snap, bang and whack it produces. (how's that for scientific) The S&W 4006 was my first auto and I really enjoy shooting it and feel that I shoot it well. And although it's not my EDC, I do carry it in the winter time in a shoulder holster from time to time. My wife likes shooting it too and she's pretty darn good with it.

I carry a S&W M&P 40c. This is a rugged gun. I have shot over 1000 rounds from this gun, not one problem or miss fire. I like it much better than my 9 mm. Ammo could get a little pricey but I shoot alot and will start reloading.
I had to move abroad for a couple of years, but made frequent and long trips back home. During that time, everything except the Gen2 G23-C went into storage. I shot that G23 exclusively for two years and it was my only CC and home protection option during that time. A real bond formed with the 40 S&W and that specific G23 and I eventually added a 22 and 27 to the family. You'll hear no 40 bashing from me.

I know I am gonna make some folks upset. It is because the .40 threatens the 9mm and the 45 ACP for top dog. If the 9mm and the 45 ACP did as well as the fanatical believe there would have been no need for the .40.
The .40 penetrates intermediate barriers better and carries more energy through said barriers. When the Border Patrol selected the .40 they also stipulated a special load a 155 JHP at 1250 FPS. The BP wanted a semi auto, but with the power of the 357 magnum. the 357 Sig was not an option at that time.
The 40 has gained a good rep on the street.
No problems with the .40......

PCTeX 4.0's product literature

whether it makes use of the standard TeX virtual font mechanism or its own

You will need to review the documentation for PCTeX to see what
instructions it provides for adding PostScript (Type 1) fonts. If it uses
the virtual font system, then it may be possible for PCTeX to process
TeXSave-generated files. If not, then you will need to use a
standards-compliant implementation of TeX like MiKTeX.

In any discussion of romanticism the number of respondents will equal the number of definitions proposed. It is sobering to read Isaiah Berlin's "In Search of a Definition," the first of his Mellon Lectures on romanticism, in which he goes over ground covered by A. O. Lovejoy, adding his own thoughts on its thematic elements of youth, exuberance, the natural, the morbid, decadence, radiance, turbulence, darkness, the strange, the weird, the familiar, the antique, novelty, desire to live in the moment, rejection of knowledge, the love of innocence, timelessness, creativity, will, dandyism, art, and primitivism. I have condensed liberally; the above is a fraction of what Lovejoy and Berlin respectively listed.
In regard to Fitzgerald a certain amount of defining needs to be done. His romanticism takes specific tactical form, extending images past reality and past the capabilities of realism; he creates an extraordinary sense of the spirit of place; and he reminds us of emotional powers not easily understood by (mere) rationality. He is rightly linked to Keats, whose verses "stick in your memory." But Fitzgerald's romanticism went against the national grain. Simply to assert romanticism was to take part in a cultural argument loudly conducted. Romantic expectation was a theme, he recognized, not of high culture but of movies and magazines.
The American tendency in literature had been to affirm or (as H. L. Mencken wrote at comic length) to avoid reality. We sense the former in the grand finale to William James's Pragmatism. James was an extraordinary intellectual presence. But he had a Victorian conception of literature, understanding it as a guide to moral action. The last chapter of Pragmatism begins, remarkably, with fifty-two lines cited from Walt Whitman's long poem "To You." James then translates these lines into moral suasion: they "may mean your better possibilities phenomenally taken, or the specific redemptive effects even of your failures, upon yourself or ... your loyalty to the possibilities of others." They set "definite activities in us at work." As James and other late-Victorian critics understand the issues, poetry civilizes, gives us workable advice. Characteristically generous, James allows for many interpretations of Whitman's poem. He was himself more complex, but Victorians understood poetry in terms of the moral quality of what was said-and romanticism arrived in the twentieth century as interpreted by Victorians.
The problem was recognized by Van Wyck Brooks, who between 1915 and 1927 published a group of essays attacking late-Victorian sensibility. He took on both James and Whitman, finding in the former literary ideas that were far too simple, really only forms of poetic utilitarianism. Brooks wrote that the great pragmatists (he called them "awakeners" of the twentieth-century American mind) deserved respect, but that "they were not sufficiently poets to intensify the conception of human nature they had inherited from our tradition. Their own vein of poetry, golden in William James, silver in John Dewey, ran too thin for that." The crucial point was that they converted poetry into something else. "Assuming that the intelligence is the final court of appeal ... all they can do, therefore, is to unfold the existing fact in themselves, and in the world about them." Referring to Emerson's utilitarian view of Shelley, Brooks sums up what a new generation of writers should know: Victorians understood poetry as public advice.
The problem with "original" early-nineteenth-century romanticism was that it had been transvalued by Victorianism. Transvalued, one might say, with a vengeance: the Shelburne Essays of Paul Elmer More, published before and during the war years, understood romantic sensibility as social philosophy. More saw great danger in the creation of "the infinitely craving personality, the usurpation of emotion over reason, the idealization of love, the confusion of the sensuous and the spiritual, the perilous fascination that may go with the confusions." Not a good entry into Gatsby for the common reader. More was especially hostile to the effects of romanticism on individuality-which was raised, he said, "to a state of morbid excess"-and he hated the confusion of things finite and infinite. He was joined by Irving Babbitt, whose Rousseau and Romanticism of 1919 famously described Keats as beauty without wisdom, and Shelley as feeling without understanding. Neither poet was, he thought, useful to Americans-their ethics were simply too confused-and they should be read only now and then for purposes of wary "recreation." If we are to judge from these evaluations of artistic purpose, Victorians taught Fitzgerald's generation that romanticism should be identified with advice either good or bad directed toward some ulterior purpose.
Romanticism had become less persuasive as an intellectual mode after the propaganda of the Great War ground out thousands of posters of soldiers in shining armor and circulated the awful "epic" poetry of Henry Newbolt and W. E. Henley encouraging patriotism-and enlistment. Intellectuals had little faith left in those themes of quest, chivalry, idealism, and sacrifice that inform The Great Gatsby. In any case, after Wittgenstein, John Dewey, and Bertrand Russell had attacked politicized rhetoric in the early twenties one no longer trusted high-sounding intent. Ezra Pound, T. S. Eliot, and T. E. Hulme exerted their influence in favor of a different sensibility. As Geoffrey H. Hartman puts the matter, "in the years following World War I, it became customary to see classicism and romanticism as two radically different philosophies of life, and to place modernism on the side of the anti-romantic."
We need only remind ourselves of Edmund Wilson's position as the decade began: If the new subjects of poetry were to be "blank buildings and slaughter-houses and factories ... Claxon-blowing motor-cars and typewriters cracking like machine-guns, taxicabs, jazz-bands, trick electric signs, enormous hotels plastered heavily with a garish magnificence, streets and street-cars ... the crash and grinding of the traffic ... the whole confused and metallic junk-heap of the modern American city" then it would no longer be possible for emotions to "find expression in the forms of Milton and Shelley." In the face of such attitudes, it took some determination to announce romantic purpose between the Great War and The Great Gatsby.
During that period, Fitzgerald produced not only novels and short stories but essays, reviews, and letters, also. He gave some notable interviews. In general, his critical work will identify his literary allegiances; compare romanticism (favorably) with realism; and introduce, recall, and elaborate romantic theory. An interview of 1923 invokes a list of literary godfathers: Henry James, Nietzsche, H. G. Wells, Shaw, Mencken, Dreiser, and Conrad. All are to be admired. But Fitzgerald understands something that Wells, Shaw, and Mencken do not: the idea of criticism has changed. Here is how the interviewer puts the matter: "F. Scott Fitzgerald, the prophet and voice of the younger American smart set, says that while Conrad's Nostromo is the great novel of the past fifty years, Ulysses by James Joyce is the great novel of the future." We see the silent presence of Edmund Wilson who had shortly before this reviewed Ulysses, recommended it to Fitzgerald, and begun to elaborate modernism's own great tradition.
Fitzgerald is consistently interested in what is happening among other writers. For example, his review of Sherwood Anderson's Many Marriages tries to set that novel within the intellectual context of the twenties. He raises public issues and issues of moral intention and consequence. Although self-consciously a modern, he notes that opinion about society matters very little in the business of writing. Fashionable ideas about the end of monogamy (a subject now and then on Tom Buchanan's mind) may be simply "propaganda" for intellectuals. Ever conscious of fact, Fitzgerald criticizes the failure of Anderson to measure up to the social thickness of Dreiser, Joyce, and Wells, stating that "for purpose of the book no such background as Dublin Catholicism, middlewestern morality, or London Fabianism could ever have existed."
This kind of assessment is often made in Fitzgerald's short pieces, requiring us to know something about the literary scene in the generation before the twenties. But, even more emphatically, we keep being referred by his allusions to ideas that long antedate the twenties. When Fitzgerald uses the term "romantic" to analyze contemporary fiction-and he uses the term a lot-he expects us to understand particular sources and to arrive at some sense of their modern applications.
Fitzgerald's "Public Letter to Thomas Boyd," which appeared in the St. Paul Daily News in the winter of 1921, reflects on the opposition between the real and the romantic. Fitzgerald admitted that fake romanticism-exemplified by novels such as Floyd Dell's Moon-Calf-might be entirely too successful. (Fitzgerald often mentioned this particular novel when he was irritated by best-seller banality. Dell became his W. H. Hudson, and the Moon-Calf his Purple Land.) The great flaw of such novels was, Fitzgerald wrote, their mindless dependence on formulaic sentimentality. How many novels about the weltschmerz of the privileged young could the public absorb? It was a warning to himself, and he wrote with a certain sympathy that "Dreiser would probably maintain that romanticism tends immediately to deteriorate to the Zane Grey-Rupert Hughes level, as it has in the case of Tarkington." But "the romantic side" was bound to have a great deal of support from other writers, because facts are insufficient as a basis for narrative. Reporting has no plot, cannot substitute for meaning. The interview displays a man of letters who knows how hard it is to navigate between realism and romance, and who is fully aware of the literary scene. He distrusts his audience, a theme often to be invoked. He uses the term "romantic" as if it were a synonym for insight, implying knowledge as well as feeling. Most important, it allows us to understand how facts affect our consciousness. Later statements of the point will emphasize that romantic ideas are philosophical ideas, not effusions, and that they work better for fiction than other ideas propounded in the drab, unintellectual American milieu of the early twenties.
Later that year, in reviewing Three Soldiers by John Dos Passos, Fitzgerald again argued that the conventional audience for fiction is an adversary to its writing: "This book will not be read in the West. Main Street was too much of a strain. I doubt if the `cultured' public of the Middle Border will ever again risk a serious American novel, unless it is heavily baited with romantic love. No, Three Soldiers will never compete with The Sheik or ... Zane Grey." He knows from his own work how difficult the choice is between genuine feeling and sentiment. He then argues an issue that goes considerably beyond the literature of the early twenties: there is in good writing no "uncorrelated detail" or "clumsy juggling with huge masses of material" so characteristic of American realism. The argument is central to the history of romantic thought, and Fitzgerald revives its original formulation.
Earl Wasserman has written that romantic philosophy needed "to find a significant relationship between the subjective and objective worlds." That is to say, between ideas and perceived details. Coleridge had emphasized that "the material" (unlike Fitzgerald, he means facts, not subjects) had to be governed by "the formal." Wasserman's essay concludes that "What Wordsworth, Coleridge, Keats and Shelley chose to confront more centrally and to a degree unprecedented in English literature is a nagging problem in their literary culture: How do subject and object meet in a meaningful relationship? By what means do we have a significant awareness of the world?" Romantics disagree among themselves about what "imagination" means, but they do not disagree about the need to apply to "the external world" some pattern that allows us to understand it. As Fitzgerald put the matter in a later review, out of muddy lakes of observation should come clear streams of ideas.
Also in the fall of 1921, Fitzgerald set down one of his many observations on Europe: it is an American subgenre. What he has to say about France, England, and Italy was in the early twenties part of a national dialogue on the decline of "civilization." Fitzgerald's piece contains ideas that will be repeated in his later writing and unwinds one of the grand themes of romantic history, the entropy of race and nation.
We had been to Oxford before-after Italy we went back there arriving gorgeously at twilight when the place was fully peopled for us by the ghosts of ghosts-the characters, romantic, absurd or melancholy, of Sinister Street, Zuleika Dobson and Jude the Obscure. But something was wrong now-something that would never be right again. Here was Rome-here on the High were the shadows of the Via Appia. In how many years would our descendants approach this ruin with supercilious eyes to buy postcards from men of a short, inferior race-a race that once were Englishmen. How soon-for money follows the rich lands and the healthy stock, and art follows begging after money. Your time will come, New York.
The ruins of time will be a theme of "The Diamond as Big as the Ritz" and The Great Gatsby. Fitzgerald's "Handle with Care," one of his confessional essays in The Crack-Up, suggests what the theme meant to him. This essay cites Wordsworth's line, "there had passed away a glory from the earth" from the Immortality Ode. Such theory as there was in the early thirties had drawn connections: Hoxie Fairchild's The Romantic Quest (1931) observing that the passage was not merely a plangent meditation on mortality, but part of a great argument over "the dominance of man's creative will over the material world." That in itself is of enormous interest for the Gatsby theme of corrupted American history. But the line is written in a kind of psychological shorthand, which may be the main point, implying the loss of authorial control and the inability to structure experience in language. To keep writing about the decay of the world was to state an essential problem of writers and subjects. We are accustomed to making the leap from subject to self with Hemingway, and need to do the same with Fitzgerald. When he talks about the end of history or of life stages he means us to extrapolate, to understand that the failure of the self has been prefigured by history. It is useful to see Fairchild's analysis of romantic subject and romantic self dated shortly before Fitzgerald's own account of his loss both of self and authorial powers in 1936. Fitzgerald's essay emphasizes that "I had become identified with the objects of my horror or compassion" and adds that the main implication is "the death of accomplishment." The conjoining of narrator and subject is, according to Marilyn Butler's useful definition, "self-reflexivity," an essential aspect of romantic poetry.
Fitzgerald made some comments in a letter of late 1921 that extend his point. The passage begins with a sardonic line that has become famous among writers: "Who in hell ever respected Shelley, Whitman, Poe, O. Henry, Verlaine, Swinburne, Villon, Shakespeare ect when they were alive." Isaiah Berlin has devoted a good deal of thought to this trope (the anger of art at culture has a long literary history) because it is central to romantic education, and also to a certain view of philosophy. He makes the point that the trope of neglect matters not because artists believe it or are comforted by it but because it is true. It is also important, because pluralistic knowledge is essential for social being. Berlin reminds us that we require alternative ways of judging experience, and asserts that romanticism produces knowledge otherwise unavailable. Yet, writers have become "superfluous persons" who cannot assert themselves "against the fearful opposition offered by the philistines, the slaves, the heteronomous creatures of the society in which they live." But in this argument, which is difficult if not impossible for art to win, the intellectual as well as social stakes are high. The artist correctly perceives that virtually all attempts to manufacture order out of being are artificial. The powers that be (and there are many such in Fitzgerald's writing) have an interest in defining the temporary as the real and lasting, which means that the idea of order can itself be an interesting fiction. The artistic "complaint," much undervalued, is in fact a critique.

Based on the best-selling award-winning Xbox title Fable, Fable: The Lost Chapters is now fully optimized for the Windows platform complete with expanded content, greater customization, new quests, and enhanced graphics. In this groundbreaking role-playing adventure game from Lionhead Studios, your every action determines your character's skills, appearance, and morality. Your character's life story is created from childhood through to adulthood and on to old age. Grow from an inexperienced child into the most powerful being in the world, spoken of by all and immortalized in legend. As additional story and side quests await, choose the path of righteousness, or dedicate your life to evil, and see yourself transform into a reflection of your actions and decisions.
Even though nobody is gonna read this, I've got to admit that this is a beautiful game.
From the story to the soundtrack, from the graphics to the A.I., the customization of your character, and the continuous fight between Good and Evil.
Steal and Kill or Give and Protect? It's up to you. As you make your decisions people will treat you differently, and accordingly.
One of my all-time favorites.
I recently started playing Fable III and I admit it has better graphics than Fable: The Lost Chapters and such...but I also admit I miss features from TLC. Like having to actually drain the XP orbs yourself rather than them to just come to you, like in Fable III. Also, I miss all the weapons, spells, and crossbows/bows from TLC. I also believe I'm going to finish Fable III soon..if I'm not mistaken, and it's only been 2 days of playing. I remember Fable TLC being much longer.
Shortly, Fable: The Lost Chapters is a lot better than Fable III story-wise.
It certainly deserves a 10/10!
A very interesting and good story. Although in the end it left me wanting more.
Its a story of vengeance where you get to choose your path along the way: the path of a hero, or the path of a villain.
The story really pulled me in. It was also touching. So deep. But they should have dug deeper.
You can get married in this game which is great, however, there is only one interesting person in the whole game worth marrying. Some interesting women that i wish i could marry i cant because they disappear from the game, disappointing.
The game had good characters, but they should have been developed just a little bit more, more interactions with them, they should have dug deeper.
The best game i have played so far... and i really enjoyed it....
Great, not-linear story, a lot of legends and secrets; character changes through the game and customization by adding tatoos and changing haircut; a lot of weapons, these normal and legendary; interaction between player and npc. In my opinion the best from series. Next two don't have that atmosphere and You can't fully feel like a hero, like in TLC.
It's great, nuff said
I love everything with this beautiful RPG - the soundtrack, the graphics, the story and the design.
The best Fable game to date and one of the best RPGs of all time.
When looking for a new Rpg this is a great game to try :DDD

Hilarious- and delusional- once again! So much BS that I'll just pick out the most outrageous nonsense to refute.
Whites need "backup from a team of cowards" to " go up against a black man"? 10 on 1 ??
You have it twisted again. It's the other way around. A solitary knee grow is only going to beat a woman or a person they outmatch. It's when they are in a group of 2 or more that they become really brave. That's when they CHIMP OUT. If you like, I could provide dozens of links to videos and news stories proving same. How much actual proof could YOU provide?
On a side note: your "husband"... Who I'd wager isn't even real, but if he does exist as you claim... has got to be the most pathetic pussy on earth. Some little bitch who enjoys getting pushed around by a fat smelly gorilla.
#17988 Sep 22, 2013
A black "family"???? That's comical! Don't you mean Tonisha and her 7 kids by different baby daddy's ? Knee grows don't know the meaning of "family".
#17989 Sep 22, 2013
I'm not "powerless" to control my own life! I can go weeks without even seeing a single knee grow if I want. You see, I live in an area of like minded people. Birds of a feather so to speak. No crime, no shootings. No loudmouth knee grows. If paying taxes is the price to keep the coons far away and fat and stupid, killing each other off for ridiculous reasons, then I'm ok with that.
As I've said before, any reasonable black would find the actions of a huge segment of their peers reprehensible ala Bill Cosby. Your "blackness" won't allow you to admit the majority of urban knee grows live fully up to the stereotypes. Instead of speaking out against the reality of the situation you take solace in the notion that some time in the future, white people will not be the majority? As myself and others have pointed out... watch what you wish for. Asians and Hispanics won't feel the "guilt" that many misguided whites do... and the gravy train may just come to a screeching halt.

Contrary to your brainless, stereotypical views, black folks do know about family. Some of us even come from strong families! But of course, to you, we are all the same right? Give me a break. That's like saying all white people are like you, painfully ignorant, blindly racist Nazi's who would love to murder the innocent along with the guilty.
#17994 Sep 22, 2013
Interesting how you always seem to avoid my points of truth about a certain segment of our society. I don't put all people of one group into a box but you have to admit that the majority of the group in question is a big burden on society don't you? The statistics are there to prove it right?

Well if you spoke truth then I would not ignore it. You make sweeping generalizations which defy logic and go against any valid debating technique. So yes I often ignore your statements because statistics do not prove what you allege, that somehow statistics can read the hearts and minds of 40 million people. Besides, until become God, then you may judge. Until then, shut up. You are powerless to do even a quarter of what you racist Nazi's masturbate over as you think aboUT illegal, indiscriminate murder, deportation, or whatever.

Victor Anichebe believes his Everton teammate Leighton Baines is the Premier League's most lethal set-piece specialist.
Nigerian striker Anichebe netted the Toffees' winner in the 2-1 win away at Newcastle on Wednesday.
But it was Baines' free-kick that stunned all in the North East, as the superb strike just before half-time levelled the scores after Papiss Demba Cisse had given the Toon an early lead.
The Kirky-born left-back has established himself as a fine dead-ball specialist. He won Everton's goal of the season two years ago for a stunning FA Cup free-kick against Chelsea, while he has never missed from the penalty spot in his Premier League career.
And, asked if his teammate is the best in the division, Anichebe told evertontv: "It would be very hard to find someone [better]. He's definitely up there and he's a great plus for the team.
"I haven't seen a better free-kick. I was sitting on the bench and I saw him about to take it from 35 yards or whatever and I didn't think he was going to hit it. I was shouting on the bench [for him not to].
"It was an unbelievable free-kick, but that just shows how good he is. He is unbelievable, every game he is consistent. I don't see him playing badly."
Baines is no stranger to Everton's goal of the season award, after his exquisite free-kick last season against Swansea saw him shortlisted for the prize again.
The England international has scored nineteen goals in all competitions for the Merseysiders since joining from Wigan in 2007.

Camarata is the only physician in the Peak to Peak corridor.
Last week, Dr. Camarata received a letter from United Health Care
terminating their insurance contract, which means that Dr. Camarata
will be considered out of network for town employees. By the end of the
week, a few more insurance companies sent a similar notice. The loss of
coverage in Nederland will have a devastating impact on about 300 of
the Columbine Health Center's patients. The bad news has Camarata and
his employees scrambling to find ways to keep on going, to continue
medical service to patients, especially seniors, in the area.
What at first seemed like a win-win situation ultimately turned into medical and legal nightmare which could shut down the clinic.
It began in 2009 when Dr. Camarata worked out of chiropractor Cathy
Valens office in the back of Doc Joe Evans building. At this time, many
people in the mountains were looking for a resource to obtain medical
marijuana cards enabling them to purchase marijuana for medical
reasons. It didn't take long for the community to hear that all they
had to do was come up with a condition that warranted relief from pain,
sleeplessness, anxiety or cancer symptoms.
"I got a bunch of business cards," says Camarata, "and a local
dispensary scooped them up and handed them out and the phone began
ringing off the hook. It was all word of mouth and soon I got the
reputation as the marijuana doctor, which was not my intent."
It was his intent to start a clinic to fill in the hole that was left
when Doctor Maurice Fauvel and his wife Dr. Susan Morrison shut their
doors. In August of 2010 Fauvel asked Camarata to buy the Columbine
Family Health practice. It was a great idea, perfect for Camarat's goal
of serving the needs of the community. However the money had to be
As months went by, the funding to reopen the clinic in the old
building came in from bunches of people wanting marijuana cards. They
came in with cash and there was a line out the door. Some of the
regular patients became upset that Camarata was dispensing marijuana
"What most people didn't know is that the income from the mj scrips
were allowing him to care for indigent patients.
"I actually felt that giving out the cards was keeping people out of
jail. I really tried to bring my mj patients in at different times than
other patients."
Even senior citizens were seeking the relief that marijuana gave to arthritis sufferers, post surgery patients and many emotional and mental afflictions. Business was booming and the clinic was filling up with other alternative therapists and healers.
If a doctor reaches a certain number of medical marijuana cards, it is reported to the Colorado Medical Board by the Colorado  Department of Public Health and Environment. They looked at the charts of some patients. There were two complaints about narcotic prescriptions; of improper prescribing of narcotic drugs that triggered a hearing with the Colorado Medical Board on August 17, 2012.
"I was scared to death," says Camarata, "I thought I was going to lose
my license. After the hearing, we entered an agreement that I was not
to prescribe marijuana cards or narcotics, but I could do everything
else. I was put on probation and allowed to continue my practice."
One of the conditions of that agreement was that Camarata had to undergo a full assessment ordered by the medical board, of  his medical knowledge, which is oing to cost a chunk of money.
The Columbine staff says they are, for a brief interim period, going
to continue to see United patients and charge only the co-pay they
would have received. Medicare still covers Camarata's patients, but
those with secondary insurance providers may end up feeling the effects
of the situation.
Columbine office manager Kathy Spratford said, "It makes me cry, but
don't panic, we are working it out. Patients are invited to call us
with their insurance questions."
As unfortunate as the crises is, there is nationwide chaos in the medical business.  Secondary insurance carriers are dropping reimbursement to physicians by two percent. The Boulder Medical Center doesn't take Medicare anymore and the health givers are being squeezed from all directions. There is an international shortage of primary care physicians.
What can the public do to help? Spratford suggests that people write
letters to their elected officials, letting them know their concerns. A
deluge of letters has to get their attention. "We need to have people
who are close to officials tell them their needs."
Last week Camarata had lunch with the Gilpin County and Clear Creek commissioners who asked him to come to their offices once a week. Right now, patients needing to see a doctor have to go to  Evergreen and volunteer drivers are needed to offer transportation. Both Camarata and Spratford say that plan would not be sustainable and they are just taking things a day at a time right now.
Spratford says that patients with secondary insurance coverage might be better off without it, especially seniors on fixed incomes. She suggests that they contact  the Boulder County Aging Agency representative Keith Carr at 303-258-3068. He is in the NCC office every Monday and Wednesday and will be able to offer advice about insurance coverage.
In the near future, however, Columbine can't keep up with the
overhead, the cost of keeping the clinic running. He says he wished he
could just see patients and not have to worry about money. He says they
wo old hade closed already except for a no-interest loan from a private
In the last few months, the clinic has laid off three and a half
employees and the other employees don't have health insurance. Hours
have been cut.
"I love my job," says Camarata.
"I care for everybody," says Spratford, "But I am extremely worried
about the seniors."
She suggests that maybe someone who can afford it could sustain Camarata to continue to care for the seniors. At the moment, everybody, the therapists who make up the alternative medicine practices, still have a job, but they are all sacrificing hours.
Doctor Camarata and his staff at Columbine are working to keep the
health center going, but they need help from the prople they serve.
Losing our doctor would have a huge impact on the entire community.
Spratford says, "Thanks for sticking with us." The phone number to
call with questions is 303-258 -9355.
Barb these are the corrections # Dr. Camarata will be considered out of network for town employees.  (they will still have United insurance)
##for brief interim period

Japan's Finance Minister, Fukushiro Nukaga, told an Asian business conference there is a time bomb ticking in Asia due to dramatic rise in food prices. Other speakers echoed his warning. Indian Finance Secretary, D. Subba Rao, believes a rise in food prices of about 20% will create higher poverty in Asia. "In many countries that will mean the undoing of gains in poverty reduction achieved in the past decade of growth. The Asian Development Bank estimates about 20% of people in Asia are living on less than a $1.40 a day compared to 60% who lived that way in the 1960s.
The dual monster of rising oil prices and the shift to using food in order to obtain oil has resulted in dramatic rises in food prices and increased shortage in items like rice which are so important to the diet of Asians. Several nations have resorted to food subsidies or export restrictions to counter rising costs, but they only exacerbate price rises.
Perhaps, it is time for a world wide approach to confronting the two issues of food and fuel. The world has to begin getting serious about alternative energy resources and it must shift away from using food as a means of obtaining fuel. The alternative may well be the outbreak of serious conflicts in many parts of the world.

Yesterday evening and this morning I made even more additions and updates to our NYC Vegan Restaurant Guide. I'm glad to report that (I think) I've added and updated all of the places that our wonderful tipsters have emailed to us. Many thanks to Cathy on the Upper West Side, Zach in Chinatown, Paula in Astoria, Debya in Brooklyn, and musician Andrew Philip Tipton in Staten Island.
Please leave reviews! Haven't been to any of the new places? Leave a review of another place. Here's a huge alphabetized list.

It accommodates those damned lactose intolerant people. :P
You'd think they'd realize they'll get more customers if they make the product available to both lactose intolerant people and vegans, but either they're clueless or they're counting on the vegans to be confused. (And never discount the willingness of a restaurant to lie about what's vegan. *sigh*)

Bartelt. The Remodeling Resource, a premier, family-owned remodeling firm specializing in residential and commercial design and construction, was named Regional Contractor of the Year (CotY) by the National Association of the Remodeling Industry (NARI) for the Residential Bath over $60,000 and Residential Addition $100,000 – $250,000 categories.
"We are honored to be named the 2013 Regional Contractor of the Year in these categories," said Rick Bartelt, owner. "These awards are the result of the creativity and dedication of the entire team, including our designers, carpenters, production staff, trade partners, and customers."
Bartelt was selected as the winner of Region 3, an area that includes contractors from Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Wisconsin. Contractors from seven regions around the country vie for CotY Awards on an annual basis, and all regional winners will now be eligible for the National CotY Awards. National winners will be honored at NARI's Evening of Excellence on Friday, April 12, 2013, at the Intercontinental Kansas City at the Plaza.
The winning Bartelt projects each had unique components. The master bathroom remodel transformed a generic bathroom into a dynamic, spa-like space, improving its layout and expanding its footprint. The bathroom features an oval soaking tub and shower with granite and porcelain- and marble-filled mosaic tiles, a custom, furniture-style vanity, and quality fixtures.
The sunroom addition offers the homeowners more space for entertaining family and friends. It is a warm, inviting room that features a bar area, fireplace, hydronic heating in the floor, wine storage, large windows to showcase the outside views, and a vaulted ceiling and cupola to add architectural interest.
Competing projects were completed between July 1, 2011, and November 30, 2012, and were not submitted in prior NARI National contests. An impartial panel of judges, who are experts within the industry and associated fields, selected winners based on each entrant's binders, which include "before and after" photography and project descriptions. Judging focused on problem solving, functionality, aesthetics, craftsmanship, innovation, degree of difficulty, and entry presentation.
To be considered for a CotY Award, a company must be a NARI member in good standing. NARI members represent an elite group of the approximately 800,000 companies and individuals in the U.S. identifying themselves as remodelers.
Founded in 1984, Bartelt. The Remodeling Resource has won local, regional, and national industry awards, including 2012 and 2013 Regional "Contractor of the Year" (CotY) awards presented by the National Association of the Remodeling Industry (NARI). With in-house designers, production staff, and expert carpenters, Bartelt is a member of the Milwaukee/NARI Home Improvement Council, Inc. and Metropolitan Builders Association.

As the Large Hadron Collider is about to be launched for the first time, physicists are on the cusp of the greatest scientific discovery of all time – or perhaps their greatest failure.
Spock's Beard never ceases to amaze me. The Oblivion Particle has so much prog goodness to love, that it will just draw you in Bennett Built a Time Machine to take this release back to the 70s, because it is loaded with classic material. The band has built such a huge catalog of excellent albums, so it would be hard to call any of them the best. However, I would put The Oblivion Particle up there with the top releases as it could be their best. If you are looking for a new prog gem to add to your collection, then look no further. If you love Spock's Beard, then you will definitely love this album. I can see this release lasting with it's homage to the 70s, and that ooh so good feeling that you will get when you hear it.
Documentary which follows six brilliant scientists during the launch of the Large Hadron Collider, marking the start of the biggest and most expensive experiment in the history of the planet. Filmed over seven years, it is an emotionally charged journey with scientists attempting to push the edge of human innovation. For the first time, a documentary gives viewers a front row seat to a significant and inspiring scientific breakthrough as it happens. As they seek to unravel the mysteries of the universe, 10,000 scientists from over 100 countries join forces in pursuit of a single goal - to recreate conditions that existed just moments after the big bang and find the Higgs boson, potentially explaining the origin of all matter. Directed by a physicist-turned-filmmaker and masterfully edited by Walter Murch (The Godfather trilogy), Particle Fever is a celebration of discovery, revealing the human stories behind this epic machine.

6 slimming carbs to keep in your diet
By Nicci Micco, November 30, 2011 - 12:31pm
I've never been a fan of low-carb diets: our bodies and our brains need carbohydrates to work effectively. (Find out 6 more reasons your body needs carbohydrates here.)
Of course, not all carbohydrates are created equally. First of all, fruits, dairy and vegetables are all sources of carbohydrates. And when it comes to starches, there are indeed "good" carbs (we'll get to that in a sec) and the "bad" ones that, if you eat them all the time, can raise your risk of developing diseases like heart disease and diabetes. (We're talking about doughnuts, cakes and even refined white breads.) On the flip side, eating "good carbs" in place of refined ones can reduce your risk of these very same diseases—and may even help you to lose weight because they're generally rich in fiber.
Related: 7 Foods That Do the Weight-Loss Work for You
Here are 6 "great" carbs to keep in your diet.
Whole-wheat pasta. Because sometimes you just need pasta—and whole-wheat kinds offer two to three times more fiber than refined white varieties, but they're just as versatile and delicious. (Similarly whole-wheat bread and brown rice are healthier choices than their "white" counterparts.)
To cook: Follow the package directions!
Recipes to Try: Slimmed-Down Fettuccine Alfredo & More Skinny Pasta Recipes
Quinoa: Consider it souped-up couscous. A delicately flavored whole grain, it provides some fiber (2 grams per 1/2 cup) and a good amount of protein (4 grams). Note: Research shows protein can help you feel full for longer. Rinsing quinoa removes any residue of saponin, its natural bitter protective coating.
To cook: Bring 2 cups water or broth to a boil; add 1 cup quinoa. Reduce heat to a simmer, cover and cook until the liquid has been absorbed, 15 to 20 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
Recipes to Try: Pear-Quinoa Salad and More Low-Calorie Quinoa Recipes
Barley is available "pearled" (the bran has been removed) or "quick-cooking" (parboiled). While both contain soluble fiber that helps keep blood cholesterol levels healthy, pearl barley has a little more.
To Cook: Pearl barley—Bring 1 cup barley and 2 1/2 cups water or broth to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer; cook, covered, until tender and most of the liquid has been absorbed, 40 to 50 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes.
Quick-cooking barley—Bring 1 3/4 cups water or broth to a boil; add 1 cup barley. Reduce heat to a simmer; cook, covered, until tender, 10 to 12 minutes.
Bulgur is cracked wheat that's been parboiled so it simply needs to soak in hot water for most uses—a perfect low-maintenance grain. It's also a good source of feel-full fiber: just 1/2 cup delivers 5 grams.
To Cook: Pour 1 1/2 cups boiling water or broth over 1 cup bulgur. Let stand, covered, until light and fluffy, about 30 minutes. If all the water is not absorbed, let the bulgur stand longer or press it in a strainer to remove excess liquid.
Wheat Berries are the whole, unprocessed kernels of wheat. They're terrific sources of B vitamins, iron, magnesium, zinc and, yes, fiber.
To Cook: Sort through wheat berries carefully, discarding any stones, and rinse with water. Bring 4 cups water or broth and 1 cup wheat berries to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer, cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, but still a little chewy, about 1 hour. Drain.
Popcorn. Because when you're craving pretzels or potato chips...you're certainly not going to reach for a bowl of oatmeal. Popcorn satisfies a snack craving and it's a whole grain. No, I'm not kidding: 3 cups of popped popcorn (what you get by popping 1 heaping tablespoon of kernels) equals one of your three recommended daily servings of whole grains and contains 3 grams of fiber.
To cook: Toss a heaping tablespoon into an air popper.

So.....you and your special someone share a love for nature!!!
Here is all you need to have an Eco-friendly Wedding Day!
Attire- Comfortable, loose natural clothing. Have attendants wear casual comfortable clothing. You will want to wear cotton or linen. Remember that polyester is hard on the environment and other fabrics are not animal friendly.
Flowers- Wildflowers or daises, tied in a loose bunch. You will want the flowers to look freshly picked and natural. Make sure all flowers are pesticide free. You can order them from a local supplier or try organicbouquet.com
Favors- Here is a great idea for favors. Give each attendant the gift of a flower. Hand them a batch of seeds they can plant at home. Or make a donation to a charity in their name.
Setting- The perfect place for an eco-friendly wedding is the woods, parks or under your favorite oak tree. Make sure you have plenty of eco-friendly bug spray!
Reception- Try your hardest not to throw anything away! Use bio-degradable supplies and linen table cloths. (yes, they have them in color)
Menu- Serve organic foods to your guest! Have a blast picking out some vegetarian options and wine. Think lighter fare that will mesh with the beauty of your surroundings.
Invitations- make sure your invitations are recyclable and printed on recycled paper!
During the ceremony plant a tree and make a vow to return and plant trees at anniversaries or to celebrate the births of children.
You can even release butterflies during the ceremony!
Until your next Occasion!

Tesco used to offer the best card you could find for purchases, then Marks & Spencer increased its 0% period to 15 months. The supermarket giant has now fought back, and its Clubcard Credit Card is now the joint market leader.
Don't pay interest until August 2012
If you want to spread the cost of an expensive purchase, a credit card with 0% purchasing power lets you do this interest free. During the introductory period, these cards waive interest on all new credit card purchases.
Imagine you spent on a card with a 15-month 0% period today, you would not pay any interest until August 2012. Taking out the card could be especially beneficial if you're hit with an unforeseen expense you can't currently afford such as car repairs or essential home improvements.
Despite an identical 0% purchase period, Tesco beats M&S when it comes to the balance transfer period — offering nine months while M&S does not carry a balance transfer period at all.
[Useful: Apply for the Tesco Clubcard Credit Card]
Earn rewards on your spending
In addition to its interest free period, this card can also be used to earn rewards - for every £4 you spend, you receive one Tesco Clubcard point worth a penny. You earn one point a pound if you use the card at a Tesco petrol station.
As well as using your points on discounts at Tesco, you can redeem them against foreign holidays, in restaurants or on days out.
Furthermore, Tesco has recently partnered with energy company E.ON to allow customers to put their points towards paying their energy bill.
Because the credit card acts as a Clubcard, you also earn standard Clubcard points when you shop at Tesco.
The downsides
With a whopping 24.9% interest rate on cash withdrawals and a fee of 3%, it's an expensive mistake to withdraw money on this card.
And when the interest free period expires, you'll be charged 16.9% APR on any balance left on the account. Therefore it's wise to ensure you clear the cost of your purchases before the offer expires and interest kicks in.
What are my alternatives?
If you're looking for a credit card primarily for balance transfers, Barclaycard currently offers the most competitive deal with 20 months — the longest-ever interest free period.
In addition, there are other more attractive offers if you would like a straightforward rewards card. For instance, the American Express Rewards Credit Card allows you to earn up to £90 worth of bonus vouchers in three months which can be spent at big name retailers such as Boots and Amazon.
Is the Tesco card right for me?
As long as you clear your debt in full before the 15-month offer expires, this card could be a fantastic way to spread the cost of purchases while avoiding paying interest.
However, you could get a better deal elsewhere on balance transfers or rewards and if at all possible, you should try to avoid using the card to withdraw cash.

Edog bring a lot of grief onto his own head. He baits people and to that extent, he gets what he deserves. But he is entitled to his views as is Red ,Race and as are you.
If you choose to toss gratuitous comments about stupidity at someone be prepared acknowledge them as opinion or to back it up.
As I said, Edog can take care of himself. He's entitled to his views and so am I. I agree with that.
