Online Slots Rules
Despite how easy online slots are to play, it's still quite possible to watch your money disappear a lot faster than you were expecting if you don't understand the games before you start the virtual reels spinning. This is even more important with 21st Century slots games, which have many ways to wager on the same spins, and you want to know what all of them are from the start.
More Online Slots Rules Information
The best place to start when it comes to understanding the rules of online slots is the concept of a payline. Quite simply, a payline is a specific place that symbols need to fall to be valid for winning something, whether it's money, free spins, or anything else. In older slots games, these were quite literally lines, straight across the reels. Those lines are still found on modern slots, but they've been joined by all kinds of different patterns that sometimes zig-zag across the reels, and it's not uncommon to see games with 20 paylines or more.
As a player, you have the option of betting on anywhere from a single line to all possible lines on every spin.. Note that this can make the game more expensive than it may first appear. For example, a machine with a 5-cent denomination can cost $1 a spin if it has 20 paylines and you wager on all of them. The benefit is that it gives you more chances to hit winning combinations, and some large slots jackpots can only be won if you are betting on every line.
On top of that, online slots sometimes offer the option of betting multiple coins per line. In our previous example of a 5-cent game, you might be able to bet up to five coins per line for a total of 25 cents – which would then make every spin on all 20 paylines cost $5. The prizes increase accordingly when you do, so finding the right balance is a matter of individual risk-reward analysis.
Every online slots game has a pay table or payout table that explains all of the possible winning combinations and the prizes for hitting them. It usually takes a single click to call it up on your computer screen, and reading it is the best way to determine exactly what's at stake on that particular game.

When is it best to use Dreamweaver vs. WordPress, Drupal or Joomla to create a website?
Dreamweaver has long been the industry-leading web authoring and editing software that provides both visual and code-level capabilities for creating standards-based websites, smartphones, tablets and other devices. It is feature-packed and gives designers complete control over HTML, CSS, JavaScript and all other aspects of creating modern websites. For building sites from scratch, Dreamweaver is often the tool of choice.
WordPress, Drupal and Joomla are all web-based content management systems (CMS) that provide the tools and features necessary for creating and maintaining blogs and websites. While Dreamweaver is well-suited for building websites from scratch, content management systems are usually honed for ongoing maintenance, like updating content and posting new blog entries.
Most of my work involves using Dreamweaver to create templates, themes and plug-ins that get added to content management systems. The final result is a website designed with the functionality your organization needs from your website, but you can update the website yourself using any popular web browser.
So the short answer: Dreamweaver is the best solution for a powerful tool that gives you complete freedom over the design and programming of websites, while a CMS is a better choice for ongoing maintenance of your website. That's why nearly all websites I provide for clients are built to work in a CMS like WordPress.

These past couple of days the news has been full of snow – it's approaching, it's got us in the grip, we can't get it cleaned up fast enough. I am thankful to live on a block where all the neighbors look out for each other. Sometimes I ask one neighbor if she needs something from the store, or invite another out for a meal. Let's not even discuss how many times the lady next door gives us a plate of her homemade cooking.
We opened our door on Monday and saw what is shown in the two left images. Today (Tuesday) it was quite an improvement, as shown in the two right-hand photos. My daughter and I took a trip to a bookstore, then on the way home stopped at our market to pick up a little something for our neighbors, to thank them for such a great job. I leave you with part of a scripture from the King James Version
… but thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself: I am the LORD. Lev. 19:18

Today, Southend United pushed forth in their magnificant run in the Championship. Winning many of our games, we've maintained our healthy lead above Wolves! And as the players were getting into their Season, they came across a very familiar fixture. It was a Carling Cup match against, guess who, Chelsea!
Now, I'll cast your minds back to last Season. We exited the Carling Cup early on after a miserable Penalty Shootout against Chelsea, which we lost by a long shot!
But we aren't double the team we were back then! We've come a long way, and also have a few more players to brag about.
And one of those, Seydou Doumbia, would be playing up front! Luke Barnard was forced to fill some unfamiliar boots in midfield, due to an injury to Lee Sawyer, and Andy Grant being too tired to make the match. He watched from the stands.
Elliott Richards, one of the key players who played in our previous encounter, dropped to the bench for Laurent, as he was too tired to play. Richards played a vital role in our attack last time, so we were definately going to miss his strong presence.
We started the game emphatically! Doumbia made a picture perfect run behind the defence. He took it onto his right foot, and attempted to finesse the shot past the Keeper. Cech parried the shot away to his right, which fell perfectly for Laurent, who slipped the ball past the post at a tight angle to make it 1-0! The Southend fans went wild.
Chelsea came back strong, however, like they do. The over-excited Southend defence were carried away, and allowed Chelsea to split them apart. Lampard was the vital man to find space, as he recieved a great pass, and he curled one into the net. It was all square again, and the game was still to play for in the 25th minute.
But Doumbia showed Chelsea what he could do for us, as he used his blistering pace to march past the defence, and take Cech one-on-one. This time, as he took it onto his right foot, he finessed the shot past Cech easily. 2-1.
Doumbia was nowhere near over. His fitness level lowering slightly, he beat the defender in the box from a pass, and he poked it past Cech for a simple 3-1.
Just after half time, Doumbia was still fired up, and he instantly took the ball into the box and put one just passed Cech to make it 4-1. Netting a Hat Trick was a huge blessing for him. His presence at Southend has been felt so far, and he's bagging a big number of goals. He's almost sinking Elliott Richards 35 goals from the previous season, which was Southends biggest success in football history.
Finally, Freedman, who came on for Doumbia (as he deserved a rest), was able to score a good finish passed the keeper, so seal the game.
Chelsea sulked off the pitch, shocked and defeated. We had returned as a much better side. And Chelsea felt that. Doumbia, our star signing over the Summer, made us proud. And he rightfully earnt the man of the match.
Needless to say, with the rate in which we're playing, we can expect to see Chelsea next season in the Premier League. But Scott Richards insists on taking each match as it comes. And who could fault his decision? Since joining the club last Season, our success has been uncanny. If you could disagree with any decision he makes, you know you'd be a fool!
And his decision is correct. It's only the start of the season. There's still alot of matches to be played, and there will probably be a few hurdles for Southend to climb before they can look too far ahead into the future.

I have a confession: for a long time I thought I was to blame for Kate's eating disorder.
If you've read Kate's story you'll know the trouble all started back in winter 2013. It came out of nowhere (as far as I knew), but it's no exaggeration to say it changed both of our lives—probably as much as anything else has.
In her retelling of the night Kate paints a far better picture of me than how I remember it. If you asked her now she'd tell you I did my best at the time. That I was just focused on making her feel better. But to me I'd let her down.
For more than a year I kept my feelings to myself. I didn't want to jeopardise Kate's recovery or make it about me. But every time I saw her go hungry, snap at her mum, or break down when the pressure got too much, I was transported back to the moment it all started.
I can still see the look on her face. I hope I never see it again. She was scared and confused. Her eyes, wide, pleaded with me to tell her not to change, that she was perfect just how she was. But I didn't.
Instead, I agreed to a plan to reduce her portion sizes and increase the intensity of her workouts. I actually helped Kate form a strategy to stop eating the things she loved and spend more money and time on exercise, all in an effort to change her appearance.
But why?
I put it down to the distorted view of health I had at the time. I was wrapped up in my own appearance; trying in vain to put on weight, build muscle and look 'better'. I saw food as a means to an end. Unfortunately for Kate, that end wouldn't be the health and happiness she wanted, but severe weight loss, malnourishment and ultimately—tragically—an eating disorder.
It wasn't until Kate's recovery was well underway that I told her how I felt. One night, a few weeks before our wedding, I broke down. I apologised through tears for the terrible pain I'd caused her. I told her how sorry I was that I didn't reassure her and tell her how beautiful she was (and always will be). Of course, she wouldn't accept my apology. She rejected its whole premise. And now I can see why.
Kate and I are in this together, and we have been from the start. But for a long time we didn't even know what we were dealing with. If I knew then what I know now my response that night would have been very different. I still regret it, but I realise how ignorant we were. Alone, we had no chance of resisting the siren call of media, celebrity and popular opinion.
Our first mistake was that we believed we could handle it ourselves. But without the knowledge we needed to win, we were destined to lose. There was so much to learn and we couldn't do it alone. We needed help.
This post is part of an ongoing series in which Matt shares his experience caring for Kate. Stay tuned for more confessions of a clueless carer.

Save £34.99
This reliably fruiting, self-fertile dessert and culinary plum has white flowers in spring, and dark red fruit in August and September. Early flowering, this adds a burst of spring colour to your garden. 'Victoria' has been awarded the Award of Garden Merit given by the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS), which helps gardeners make informed choices about plants.
Q:Does Height Really Matter?
A: Not As Much As You Might Think...One stand out specification that customers often use to judge the value of a tree is the height.So should height directly correlate with the price of a tree? No, not necessarily.To an extent the height of a tree can give you a good indication of its maturity but you must not forget: To grow a productive, well shaped, healthy tree you must prune it back regularly, especially when young.Our trees often grow up to 2m in the fields before we prune them back and package them ready to send out. This pruning encourages the tree to grow more, stronger branches and ensures there is a good balance between the root size and top growth. This ensures that your tree puts energy into establishing a healthy root base instead of supporting top growth, providing a better foundation for your tree in the future.So, in summary: Dont let the extra 10/20cm you may find elsewhere sway you. You are likely to be paying extra for the delivery costs and, if you want a healthy tree in the long run, youre going to have to chop it off anyway!
Caring and Maintenance Water young trees regularly until roots are well established. Trim annually from mid to late summer. Apply some fertilizer in spring in order to promote healthy growth and a good crop. Optionally, mulch in spring. Check tree ties regularly and loosen any if necessary to avoid rubbing of the stems.

Notes easier with Sound Recording Technology
Court reporter, or the registrar in business is needed. Activity meeting that a decision on the outcome of the meeting must be recorded treatise called a meeting. If the first recording done on paper, into the modern era of the recording is done in a practical notebook can carry around – where and greatly facilitates the activities of the minutes. In this article will explain the new technology in the form of fossilized record voice recording officers to be more practical and efficient in performing its duties.
But from the description above recording made by using paper to the notebook still has shortcomings. Lacking that arise because of the demands of the rapidly growing technology that requires speed, convenience, and advanced security are guaranteed. When recording still use paper, it will be very prone to be lost, broken, wasteful use of paper, inflexible, old, need a lot of processes in its distribution, and many others. Likewise, if you use a notebook, still has shortcomings even though fewer than the use of paper. For example if we use the notebook manual recording is still done by typing on a notebook, if a signature must be scored first, if there is damage to the notebook either the virus or physically damaged there is a possibility that the missing data is still very large.
Advancement of technology has resulted in products that can facilitate your business affairs in terms of recording the activity of your business. Perhaps the recording activity has been significantly reduced since all done using sound recordings. The era of digital voice recorders technology is capable of transforming voice into text. Once it has a feature that many languages, if you need a signature in the tape, you just give a signature from the device's digital voice recorders. Make it easy, your business affairs more easily, efficiently in all respects, including in sharing the results of a business meeting to all meeting participants at a time, how very quickly instead. All can be done in digital voice recorders this technology, but it is also able to reduce the use of paper to make this technology also supports the prevention of global warming.

I was wondering how you know how much fondant to make for a cake, I make MMF and I always make like 2-3 batches extra or 1-2 short, so is there a good way to estimate how much to make? For example I am getting ready to make 3, 6" round cakes all 4" tall, so how many batches should I make?
Thanks for the help
According to the wilton chart, to cover one 6" cake that is 4" tall you need 18 oz. of fondant. I cannot recall how much one recipe of MMF makes, but hopefully this will help you out some.
Here is a link to the wilton chart for amounts:
Thanks that answered my question.

The real cost of commuting
With the recent debates surrounding the future of mass transit in Nashville, understanding how the cost of transportation actually affects your personal finances may be surprising.
In the Nashville area, commuting to work is a phenomenon many adults are familiar with. Earlier this year, the Census Bureau released data from the American Community Survey that showcases commuting behavior across the nation.
Of particular interest is the statistic that more than 75 percent of U.S. workers drive to work alone, and more than a fourth live in a different county than where they work. Travel time to work also has climbed over the years, reaching 25.5 minutes one way in 2011, the longest commute time in six years.
The recently released Vital Signs report for the Nashville region also considers the role of mobility from a number of aspects. The Nashville Area Chamber of Commerce's Research Center provided analysis for the report, which shows that when you combine the housing and transit costs for households in the Nashville region, the costs rise to nearly 53 percent of average household income.
Along with costs to residents, average annual hours of delay in traffic in the Nashville region have risen consistently since the 1980s; today, Nashville residents experience an average of 47 hours of delay annually per peak auto commuter, higher than the average for comparable large metro areas. Beyond the personal costs of transportation, the cost of productivity may also be felt by businesses whose employees are delayed on a regular basis.
Transportation is just one of the many metrics which tell the story of our region's vitality. Monitoring and assessing the dynamics of the Nashville region are important to ensure that quality of life and regional competitiveness remain strong.
Garrett Harper is the vice president of information and research for the Nashville Area Chamber of Commerce's Research Center. The center focuses on economic and demographic research topics.

Silvermine Arts Center features Rowayton Artist Gabor Peterdi "Selections from the Gabor Peterdi International Print Collection"
In 2012, Silvermine Galleries officially named its print collection "The Gabor Peterdi International Print Collection", in honor of Silvermine's print collection founder, Gabor Peterdi, the late Hungarian-American painter and print maker who was a long-time Rowayton resident. Having started the printmaking department at Yale University, Peterdi established the National Print Biennial competition at Silvermine in 1956. The Arts Center established the foundation of a permanent print collection through the acquisition of juror purchase awards. In subsequent years, additional prints were added to the collection via donations and bequests. This year's exhibition will feature recent acquisitions of prints by Fritz Brosius, Alexander Calder, James Flora, Charles Hinman, Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse, and a print attributed to Salvador Dali.
View the collection at the Silvermine Arts Center through February 16th

Because I am just getting started, I want to set expectations on what you will receive when an update lands in your inbox. I understand that it is not pleasant to expect one thing and get something entirely different. In fact, I have a formula that I use to define it. It will help you understand why this is the topic of my second post…
That formula is:
Expectations – reality = frustration.
Now, this simple little formula will be referenced on occasion in my writing. That is because the greater the gap between expectations and reality, the greater the level of frustration we experience. And right now, most Americans have a significant gap between the reality of what is happening in our nation and what they believe is going to happen in the near future.
Please understand, saying this does not mean that I claim to have an exclusive and total grasp of reality. To believe so would be the height of arrogance. My basis for reality however, are principles that have proven to be true throughout history based on their results. And yes, those principles are based on a Judeo/Christian worldview.
Get to the Point
For the most part, I will be fairly direct. Nobody likes to waste their time, and that is the last thing that I want readers of this blog to experience. Hence, my early attempt at setting proper expectations. You are free to disagree with what I write and share another perspective. In fact I encourage that.
A two way dialogue is important. While I am in communication with leaders in politics, economics, and the church, I have found some of the most profound wisdom comes from those who are closest to the problems we have identified and are seeking to solve (my wife is at the top of that list). Thus, I welcome your feedback.
Be mindful however, that I hold a high standard when it comes to respectful dialogue. While I do have a twitter account and will use it, I am not a fan of 140 character soundbites. The challenges and opportunities we face demand a well-thought-out, principled approach.
At it's core, the purpose of my writing is to help you navigate the Great American Reset. We intend to provide you with insight and actionable information that will allow you to make wise decisions as the coming years unfold. Initially, I will focus on three primary areas.
- Education
- Communication
- Innovation
Education is a double-sided coin. One side is what we learn. The other side is what we can teach. If you are already aware of the facts, principles, and concepts that are discussed here then it is our goal to present them in a manner whereby you will be able to educate others.
That leads me to communication. Most Americans are not good at communication. That's just a fact. The aforementioned Twitter 140 character soundbite culture has made it difficult for many to reason through both complex and simple concepts.
As a former pastor, radio talk show co-host, writer, and public speaker, I hope to share some of what I have learned about communication. Lesson #1 is that in order to effectively communicate and lead, you must connect your message to the person's heart. That requires building and nurturing relationships, which are the most important assets we have. Therefore, helping others understand how to communicate within relationships is a high priority.
We must also approach the Great American Reset with an eye toward creativity. Good old American innovation will be critical to navigating the Reset and influencing what will emerge on the other side. Technology will play a key role in assisting us to achieve our goals, and it is critical to understand just how quickly technology is set to change our world.
And as a quick side note here, just know that some of our goals are quite lofty. They include major reform or replacement of some of the most deeply entrenched systems in our nation. The looming Reset both demands that they be reformed/replaced and provides the opportunity for it to happen. The strategies and specifics will become evident over time. But please understand that you are stepping into something that Lord willing is much bigger than any of us.
Finally, please know my intention is to strike a consistent pace in the updates that are posted. Initially, I expect to post once a week (that is after these initial introductory posts). That frequency may increase in the future. Podcasts are also not out of the question. As a former pastor and radio talk show co-host, the urge to get behind the microphone is strong.
I trust that this will help properly set some of your expectations. I could write more, but the post is already longer than most future posts will be.
It is an exciting time in which to live, and together, there is nothing we cannot accomplish. It's my privilege to have you on board.
All the best,
PS: The next post will be about "finding your feet." I think you'll find it interesting.

Oh gee – who was it that was overly-obsessed with the crowds on Inauguration Day? *cough cough* the media *cough*
So, as you are probably aware by now, the New England Patriots visited the White House yesterday as part of their victory lap for winning the Super Bowl. And the media was DESPERATE to make this into a political thing by comparing the Patriots' last White House visit to this one. To the point where they were comparing the number of people who came with the team to meet with POTUS.
I'm dead serious. Here's what the New York Times tweeted about the event (and the tweet is still up as of 8:30 am Mountain Time) –
You see what they're doing, I'm sure. The crowd in 2015 when Obama was still president was so much bigger than when Trump was president. OMG – Trump is an awful president and we still wish Obama was king of the world! That PROVES that Trump is Literally Hitler!
You know that's what the NYT Twitter account person was thinking when they put this together.
However, the New England Patriots' Twitter came in to rain on the Times's parade with Actual Facts –
And just for comparison's sake, they tweeted out two photos that told a much more accurate story –
Comparable photos: The last time the #Patriots won two Super Bowls in three years, 36 players visited the White House. Today, we had 34. pic.twitter.com/Aslvf1RaXU
— New England Patriots (@Patriots) April 20, 2017
Sooo… roughly the same number of people were there, they were just seated differently this time. Huh… it's like that's a perfectly logical explanation!
I'll give the Pats credit for this – at least they aren't willing to let fake news stand when they can prove otherwise. Besides, I don't think they took too kindly to being used as political props by the New York Times.
(Seriously – why even make the crowd comparisons in the first place? It's not like this is something that people care about on a regular basis.)
So, the New York Times got caught spreading fake news and the New England Patriots called them out for it. New England isn't my favorite football team in the world (that's an understatement), but I will give them virtual high-fives for this.
It's saying a lot that I'd rather side with the Patriots than the New York Times on ANYTHING.

SPORTS PEOPLE: AUTO RACING; Hill Is Returning to the Williams Team
Published: September 20, 1994
DAMON HILL will return next season for the Williams Formula One team. The prospects for NIGEL MANSELL and DAVID COULTHARD are uncertain.
The team chairman, FRANK WILLIAMS, ended months of speculation by announcing that Hill would return in 1995 for his third season with the British-based team.
Williams said, however, that no announcement regarding the team's second driver would be made until the end of the season. Either Coulthard, the current No. 2 driver, or Mansell, who will take Coulthard's place for the final three races this season, is expected to fill that spot.
"I know what my plans are, but I can't say it to the world," Mansell, who is leaving the Indy-car circuit after two years with the Newman-Haas team, told The London Times.
For Hill, the announcement was the concrete support he had requested from the team after he criticized the news media before the British Grand Prix in July. Hill was upset over reports in the British press that his future with Williams was in jeopardy because of Mansell's return and the emergence of the younger Coulthard.
Hill took over the team's No. 1 spot after Ayrton Senna was killed in a crash at the San Marino Grand Prix May 1. Hill has since won four races and trails the suspended points leader, MICHAEL SCHUMACHER, by 11 points going into Sunday's Portuguese Grand Prix. (AP)

Why it seems like only yesterday that CIBC promised us that markets had found their bottom, and would be more stable.
It makes me wonder how they'll explain that big dip in the graph for today's markets followed by the huge climb, gaining back yesterday's losses and more.

I've been wanting to start reading the Bible more but I find myself getting easily distracted with other things. One of them is worrying about way too many things. My mind normally wanders off like this:
"What am I going to wear tomorrow? What if these shoes don't go with this look? Maybe I should finish writing on our wedding invitation envelopes. Or maybe I should write a list of things we still need to get for our decorations."
You get the idea.
So after all these thoughts came rushing in, this verse stuck out to me. I felt compelled to share it with the rest of you because who cares if those shoes don't go with your outfit? Seriously. Don't worry about it too much. Hopefully this will push me to read more of the Bible and eventually become a weekly update. It's a win-win situation. But for now, I shall take care of today's troubles.

(boots Elizabeth and James, scarf H&M;, leather jacket Mango, purse Moni Moni)
I spent the last few days in San Francisco & the bay area. Went up to a film festival to see an amazing documentary (that I'm about to tell you all about) and turned it into a mini vacation. One of my best friends Caroline (pictured above), her great grandmother is the famous late Diana Vreeland. The film, Diana Vreeland: The Eye Has to Travel is a documentary made by her family and is currently receiving great remarks from the festival circuit from Venice to Toronto. It will be coming out in theaters in March 2012.
I had the wonderful opportunity of going to see it with their whole family. It's incredible and beyond inspirational and I undoubtedly recommend that everyone must see it. With interviews from Manolo Blahnik, to Diane Von Furstenberg, to Oscar de la Renta, it's really a historical view on the world of fashion as we know it. Although it will probably make you feel like whatever hard work you are doing, just isn't enough lol. There's also a book just released by the same name, so until you can get to see the film definitely pick up the book.
It was a fun little getaway. We rented a bright red convertible Mustang which was so much fun and cruised the city. I really love San Francisco. The weather was a nice change from LA… actually got to wear scarfs and leather jackets for a good purpose. Although I didn't fair to well with the rain as you can probably see above lol. I picked up this scarf/thing/notreallysurewhatitis at H&M; a few months ago and have been waiting to wear it. It took me a good 15 minutes to figure out what exactly to do with it but I got it figured out and really love it.

A bit of woods
This week has been tough. Tough just to get through. I did take myself to a state park and go for a walk in the woods. It might not been my favorite woods. It may have been hot. But it was the woods. It was cooler there then it would have been in the city. The gallivanting included lunch watching a lake. The breeze was nice.
I have been spending a bit of time each day spinning which seems to help with the air for me.
I keep wanting to sit at my sewing machine. Even though I do, I seem not to spend enough time there. Maybe soon. Part of me just wishes to make quilts all the time.

Gorgeous actress Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is all set to make her comeback in Bollywood with the movie Jazbaa, directed by Sanjay Gupta.
While, shooting of Aishwarya Rai's Jazbaa has just begun, recently some pictures from the sets of the film got leaked. Although, most of the stars don't like their shooting pictures getting leaked as it supposedly reduces the curiosity regarding the film, Aishwarya Rai apparently thinks otherwise.
It was heard that director Sanjay Gupta was slightly worried about the pictures being leaked from the sets of the movie Jazbaa, Ash offers some consolation to her director.
As reported, Aishwarya Rai asked Sanjay Gupta to take it easy and don't get upset on the pictures being leaked. Ash also eased the director reminding him that media in Hollywood is even more aggressive in clicking pictures but the stars there still don't react much.
Well, we appreciate Aishwarya Rai's easy-going attitude and hope to get lucky enough to see some more pictures from the sets of Jazbaa.
Aishwarya Rai upcoming movie Jazbaa also features Irrfan Khan, Shabana Azmi and Anupam Kher.

Aishwarya Rai will be seen in a lead role after quite a long time and a lot of expectations are from this film.

A Tale of Two Lonely Books
Back when I first taught at Glen Oaks Community College in the early 1990s, the new librarian asked me to suggest something "interesting or unusual" in the speculative literary realms I was studying. I gave her two titles - Stained Glass Rain by Bruce Boston (fiction) and the hour of hallucinations by t. winter-damon (poetry).
I started teaching at GOCC again, part-time, this past fall, Tonight the same librarian gave my students a tour of both the virtual and physical library. (No such thing as a virtual library - at least not at GOCC - back in 1995.) At the end she bade the class look for a physical book or two using using the online catalog and implementing the skills she'd just imparted to find them on the shelves.
On a whim, I searched for the two books I'd suggested more than twenty years ago. They were still there, waiting patiently. No one had ever checked them out.
Tonight I'm taking them home. They're due in two weeks.
I'm already planning to check back in with them in 2035...
Curt Campbell does an absolutely killer job bringing six of my stories to life in the audio version of GREEN RIVER GHOST STORIES!

Instead of using OO for look to think of peek, why not EE for Eyes for peeking.
The word set we're examining today can send even experienced writers into a spiral of uncertainty when it comes to word choice, particularly in the context of one expression: is it piqued my interest, peaked my interest, or peeked my interest?
The answer is piqued—and here's why: Pique means "to excite (interest, curiosity, etc.)," as in The suspenseful movie trailer piqued my curiosity. The term also means "to affect with sharp irritation and resentment, especially by some wound to pride," which, of course, is another form of excitement, albeit undesirable.
A peak, on the other hand, is the pointed top of something, such as a mountain. When speaking figuratively, a peak is the highest or most important point or level, as in Campaigning with the president was the peak of her political career. As a verb, peak means "to attain the highest point of activity, development, or popularity, as in The artist peaked in the 1980s. It's easy to understand the confusion. Excitement, when visualized, might evoke the idea of a high point.
Learning the subtleties in meaning is only half the battle; remembering which term to use in which context is what counts. One trick to remembering the difference is by focusing on Q in pique. Q is one of the least used letters in the English language, which makes it unique, or one might even say exciting. This association might help you remember that pique with a Q means "excite."
There is a third homophone—or word that sounds the same but carries a different meaning and, in this case, a different spelling—in this group: peek. Peek means "to look or glance quickly or furtively, especially through a small opening or from a concealed location": Before the performance, he peeked out from behind the curtain, and took a deep breath to steady his nerves. Associate the two Es in peek with the two Os in look, and you should have no trouble keeping this one straight.

Instead of using OO for look to think of peek, why not EE for Eyes for peeking.
I was at the "peak" of a mountain when this word "piqued" my curiosity, so I pulled out my phone to take a "peek" in the online dictionary. Hope that has put the word in a practical perspective.
2 is odd because it's the only even prime… right? Math jokes anyone?
I was piqued, so as my interest peaked, I peeked.

What's funny is that my mother always used the correct word usage. I didn't know it was such a problem for most people.
That's not funny. Cool brag though.
Why isn't it funny? Very passive aggressive of you.
Please describe what's funny. Is it that her mom uses words correctly or that she didn't know that some people don't?
So "Q is one of the least used letters in the English language, which makes it unique…". Well, "unique" means "one of a kind," and that is clearly incorrect here. The word wanted is "unusual" or "rare." It's always embarrassing when a usage mistake is made in a blog about usage.
Actually, Bart, I think that you will find that 'unusual', 'rare', and 'unique' are all synonyms, according to thesaurus.com. (http://www.thesaurus.com/browse/unusual)
Also, you used speech marks ("Q") to encompass your letter 'Q', when you should have used quotation marks ('Q').
Also, you forgot to even close your speech marks.
And hence, I continue to strip the unworthy of their positions as 'punctuatores royales'.
you're wrong, i'm doin' your mom
u sound like my english teacher.
I wish more grade school English teachers and English college professors would blog on to this site! Their knowledge in this field would provide a wealth of information!
Knowledge should be shared and not selfishly kept!
It's not a mistake. "Unique" has multiple meanings, one of which is unusual.
Tom Jones
What is the correct spelling of Bolson Oconomowoc Wi.
Unique means one of a kind. Which means the letter Q itself is one of a kind in comparison to the other letters of the alphabet.
Its usage itself is "rare" and "unusual".
i think with q being rare makes it unique. because it's the ONE letter used the least, therefore there is some uniqueness with the letter q

Up next for elementary English: When do we write wee instead of whee?
(I rather hope it wasn't done already and I certainly will regret pointing this out if it gives staff the idea)
Americans use neither.
Guess what – most English speakers are not American.
Actually they probably are. The population of the UK is 64.1 million, the population of Canada is 35.16 million, and the population of Australia is 23.13 million – for a total of 122.39 million. The population of the US is 318.9 million. While I'm sure I'm missing some other areas that speak English I highly doubt there are 200 million people in those other locations. And while you may claim, "Oh but not everyone in the US speaks English," which is true – not everyone in the UK, Australia, or Canada (especially Canada) speaks English.
New Zealand: 4.47 million
South Africa: 52.98 million
Well – I guess if you include the number of people that can probably speak English in India it ends up being true that most English speakers aren't American. Though I would still say most people whose first language is English are American.
Wat u meanz doze mericans dont speak pommy
Ghanaians also speak English.

reallyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?????????? "SUP GIRLS" what kind of comment is that my keyboard is covered in puke now
dill with it
you mean deal with it.
What if he actually does mean "dill with it" he could be saying that u need a dill pickle.
I think he meant that some dill would go nicely with that puke. For myself, dill rather makes me puke, so they do go together, in a way.
really its deal learn english first dude
eye sea your angry witch is kinda phunny
Uh you forgot the apostrophe between t and s otherwise the "its" you're using is showing possessive or ownership
Dill, the herb? Do please learn some semblance of the language before you endeavour to butcher it….
Really? What kind of reply is that? "My keyboard is covered in puke now." Stop yourself. You're embarrassing.
That is by far the best thing I have read all day! Props to you Logan; that was awesome.
I think they was just funnin'….. Lighten up, there, mein fuhrer..
That is funny. What kind of a$$ writes that on dictionary.com
go back 2 tumblr kek :^)
some things are the natural evolution of language (people saying "like", the inherently incorrect but now ubiquitous use of "hopefully"). some things are basically just errors of language. this is the latter. however, if the "hopefully" thing began as an error and has picked up this much interest then… it's only a matter of time until all of our interests are peaked.
in all seriousness though: "piqued my interest" is a well known phrase, someone in the comments has already said that. no matter all the people trying to grammatically defend the use of "peaked" instead, the simple fact remains: it's just a misspelling of "piqued".
Thanks, Linda, for bringing up the off-subject issue of "try and."
You're so right. It should be "try to." However, "try and" is so
very common that I think we've lost that battle.
That's interesting, because the exact same mistake is very common in my native language, Swedish. Many, many people say "försöka och" (which means "try and") instead of "försöka att" (which means "try to"). In the Swedish case I think it comes from the fact that the two in spoken language often are contracted to "å", for some reason… no idea about why it occurs in English as well, though.
It's the same in Norway, "prøver og" instead of "prøver å".
The reason is the same "og" and "å" sound the same.
In fact the confusion among some Norwegians is such that "å" is often used instead of "og" in general.
For those who do not know, "og" and "å" would sound like the English word "or", or "awe"
Yes! I struggle with that so often. I really resent when people use that phrase. They don't understand that when they say "try and" they're implying that they're doing two actions instead of just "trying" to do one.
Actually, both are used because both have different meanings. For example, my boss deliberately uses "try and" rather than "try to" because she expects us to succeed if we're going to try to do something.
I've seen a couple people make this mistake (usually on social media) and it's pretty disappointing. Looks like it's even more common than I thought if you're doing an article on it.
It's extremely common in amateur writing (read: fanfiction). So common that it is one of my pet peeves and drives me crazy.
It's obviously piqued because your being excited about something.
I'm excited when someone uses "you're" correctly in a sentence
I am shocked and appalled that anyone could possibly confuse these three words. I am also quite insulted.
this word really piqued my interest
is shooken a word?
no its not
Isn't it 'shaken'?
No, dpup It is not correct. Without going into a lengthy explanation, it is as follows:
Simple (present) tense- SHAKE
Simple (past) tense. – SHOOK
Simple (future) tense. – SHAKEN
How is 'shaken' the future simple form?? 'will shake' would be the future simple. 'Shaken' is called the past participle.
Thanks, Ricky K., you're right! Shaken is the past participle of Shake. I stand chastised!
Good catch. I wondered about that when I read it as well.
"Will" is a modal auxiliary verb and is actually the non-past version of "would". English has no future tense; only past and non-past. You're 100% right about shaken being past participle though.
Thank you for that clarification, 22Di44. Ten-four and out!
no it is not a word
Although counterintuitive, "piqued" is correct. "'Peaked' my interest" makes more sense, since the noun "pique" is idiomatically associated with irritation, as in "She stormed out in a fit of pique."
It so piques my interest such that my interest is peaked?
They are said the same, but have different spellings and meanings.
I know what the correct answer is supposed to be but I agree with dustin. Technically, It could be "peaked" but certainly not "peeked."
With his curiosity piqued, he peeked through the crack in the curtains… which peeked his anxiety at seeing such a large audience.
No, idiot, his anxiety peaked, not peeked.
With his curiosity piqued, he peeked through the crack in the curtains which peaked his anxiety as he saw a large audience.
Much Better!
It's 'peaked', not 'peeked'.
Alex, Are you referring to (Rufus, March 23) blog?
You do peek through a crack in the curtains.
However, I think the phrase ' peaked his anxiety as he saw a large audience' is incorrect.
If I'm reading the article correctly, 'peak means to attain the point of activity, development or popularity, etc.'
Peak meaning the reaching of an apex or climax.
Therefore, the sentence should read: "…….piqued his anxiety as he saw the large audience peak."
Pique meaning 'to excite'. Peak meaning 'the highest or most important level'.
Nice one, OldNassau!
The Oatmeal sorted this out some time ago: http://theoatmeal.com/comics/sneak_peek
I am somewhat insulted by the article's opening line. I am not what you'd call an experienced writer, yet I have never felt any uncertainty over the correct usage of this phrase. Maybe that is because I was well educated beginning long before I ever entered a school house. And maybe if our American public school system on the whole wasn't a complete disgrace, there would be more well educated people entering today's society.
Encore! Encore! Author! Author!
Completely agree. Granted, many of our brethren do not pride themselves in being verbose or knowledgeable, but the meanings of such basic words should be known to most.
oh boy Adam, you're a little in the dark over there. Unfortunately use of similar sounding words, especially if they can be easily construed to have a similar meaning have taken over a vast section of the (mostly younger) population. Ever heard of a bombfire?, kids are using it, they see a big fire is like a bomb, they know there's no actual bomb, but bombfire is sticking, and they do not know it's really bonfire., there's plenty more examples. Not sure what the dictionary will look like in a hundred years.
Pique; Peak; Peak- three different words; three different meanings! Contextually, these words 'can send even experienced writers into a spiral of uncertainty when it comes to word choice, particularly in the context of one expression'.
As far as 'what the dictionary will look like in the next hundred years'- who knows? It is my belief that the English language will follow the way of the Latin language- DEAD!
It will be replaced by the text language.
I remember hearing about a teacher who assigned a book report to her students. The assignment called for twelve pages.
One of her students passed in the first ten pages of the assignment in English, the last two pages in text.
I've always wondered what grade she gave that student.
Huh? Can you elaborate what you mean by text?
Sure, let me elaborate by "text". What I mean is:instead of writing a simple sentence (e.g. noun, verb, direct object),
it seems to me that people will be using text message shortcuts and emoticons. Specifically, it is the younger people, the digital natives if you will, that know many of the short cuts frequently used in instant messaging.
Digital immigrants, such as myself, have to learn these emoticons to decipher what a person is saying.
Thus, creating a language barrier.
I hope this answers your question.
Mia, I did check on the internet to help me understand text messaging and emoticons. While surfing the net, I discovered Foldoc.org.
@Adam: I believe you meant "weren't" rather than "wasn't" in your final sentence. It's subjunctive.
he doesn't think so, that's why he didn't use the subjunctive
I am fearful that this one may be a losing battle. I have seen so many posters use "peaked" and a few use "peeked" in the last year. I still cringe when I see either one, but the correct word is now being used so rarely that I fear it will completely fall out of the active language.
But even after 50 years of misuse, it is hard for me to imagine that "peaked my interest" could ever come to mean what the posters are intending it to mean.
So… a bully would be better off if he "piqued" on someone!
as if u knew that lol
The expression means you reached the peak of their interest. It's Peaked.
completely wrong.
Nope, that's not what the expression means. That your interest has peaked would mean that your interest in something has peaked and will only get lower from hereon. If something has piqued your interest, you're bound to get more involved in the something because an interest has been awakened, I guess you could say. To say 'peaked' here would be very incorrect.
I don't exist either
This is just one more example of how misspellings occur when the uneducated/uninitiated confuse the "qu", "k" & hard "c" sounds like peek for pique, perk for perquisite or even perk for percolate.
See: (Adam; March 22, 2015)
Even in school they teach students to pronounce the "qu" combination as a soft "k".
The comments from some of the respondents piqued my interest in them.
Fascinating to add that pique in Spanish-language is intended to hold the same concept stated "to affect with sharp irritation and resentment, especially by some wound to pride," which, of course, is another form of excitement, albeit undesirable.
Grate to know!!
You spelled great wrong. As you can see, great is spelled g-r-e-a-t. Unless, you are using the word grate in the context in which you are, having an irritating effect, or rub against something with a rasping sound, or making an unpleasant rasping sound, or reducing (something, especially food) to small shreds by rubbing it on a grater. Which I believe you are not. I just wanted to clarify that.
The second comma in your second sentence should not exist. It is disruptive to the flow, and demonstrates a lack of syntactical acuity. In addition, the penultimate "sentence" is a fragment.
Further, the word "rub" in your second sentence should be "rubbing" in order to maintain verb tense throughout the sentence. That entire sentence is simply a mess.
GrammarMarine, I've read your blogs correcting other people in grammar and sentence structure. Should you read my future blogs, correct me if I'm wrong. I welcome the input!
The previous commenter's first language probably isn't English, and for us who speak English as a second language, grammar and spelling is hard to figure out, so you must forgive us.
You mean great to know not grate. You grate cheese, while on the other hand great means awesome, epic, extravagant, etc. Another pear of homophones. (sea what I did there), (and their). Yeah that got old before I even started.
You mean "You mean great to know, not grate", not "You mean great to know not grate".
Really?? in Spanish as well. I wonder what Gerard Pique feels about that.
This information has piqued my interest in becoming a better speller. English is my second language and French my third language. Most of the times I can deduce some answers from Spanish or French. The more languages the better!
Piqued is what i belive the correct answer is
You spelled believe wrong. Don't forget the e before the v.
"' I " before "E", Except after "C". See, the old school rules of spelling are still, true to form!
It would have been easier for your readers had you mentioned the French origin of the word "pique", a noun (f.) for 'spear', 'pike', 'halberd'.
The verb 'piquer' (to sting) derives from 'pique' as well as does the feminine sustantive 'piqûre' (prick) and it is still common usage in France to say 'Vous avez piqué ma curiosité'.
During the revolutionary period it was not unfrequent to end with one's head on a pike 'de finir avec sa tête au bout d'une pique'…
If some one drove you to the shop, you wouldn't say they 'shopped' you
Well this certainly picked my interest.
Very educative!
piqued is correct
piqued, ofc ,,,lol
I think it is piqued by looking at the definition on dictionary.com…. don't blame me if I'm wrong because I'm only ten.
I would like to know if there's any difference between continually and continuously…thanks
It is incorrect to use the words continuous and continual interchangeably because there is a difference between them. While both adjectives describe duration, continuous indicates duration without interruption. For example, The continuous humming of the fluorescent lights gave him a headache.
Continual indicates duration that continues over a long period of time, but with intervals of interruption. For example, The continual street repair disrupted traffic for nearly two years.
*There is no comma (,) in between interchangeably and because
Will the real grammar Nazi please Sig Heilbronn?
Correction: Will the real grammar Nazi please Sieg Heil?
Heil Grammour Hitler!
There is a difference. "Continual" means " happening again and again at certain intervals." For example, a dripping faucet drips continually. "Continuous" however, means "constant, unbroken." For example, a continuous sound. Think of the "s" in "continuous to mean "steady" and you should be able to remember the difference.

It is not so difficult to differentiate between pique, peak and peep.
I find it more difficult to decide when to use peep as opposed to peek.
Maybe one way is to say 'peep' has to do with seeing through a small hole what you are not supposed to see as in Peeping Tom but peep has to do with a looking forward into a bigger expanse or the future.
Any thoughts?
Its like a pique-can pie! But that's just nuts….
Great I'll know how to use these words.
Piqued as you spark of an interest or peaked to drive your interest to the highest point so it could be both
Great info, and the article piqued my interest with the title, but my interest peaked when I understood the right way to use the words. I love my daily peek at dictionary.com. Did I get it right?
It does not sound like it hightened my interest, rather it it aroused or exited my interest, so I would have to say pique.
Definitely Piqued. This is one of my 'pet peeves' and as a Brit, I have several. For another example: those who would 'try and' do something drive me to distraction. You either 'try to' or 'try not to', although Yoda might have a difference of opinion.
Thank you! I am so glad someone else understands the difference between "try to" and "try and."
Hi, Linda. Forgive me, I'm old school. One of my " 'pet peeves' " is referring to the English as "Brits".
I refer to the language as the ENGLISH language. I refer to grammar as ENGLISH grammar. And I refer to the literature as ENGLISH literature ( as opposed to AMERICAN literature )
It annoys me greatly when I ask some one "What literature are you studying?" And they respond "British Lit."
You are either studying English Literature or American literature. That is the discipline I was taught!
Why not use SEE to help remember PEEK? There'll be no need to remember another letter.
It's soo educative .
yo momma
foreal yo mama that is so childish if you are not going to comment with one of the words that were selected then don't leave a comment
I like turtles.
I like cereal.
Honestly, yo mamma jokes are so boring and childish.
Just like yo mamma.
pique that is it!
Piqued my interest.
Next, please take on the toe the line versus "tow" the line confusion. Also free rein versus free "reign."
Free rein derives from riding a horse. Loosening the reins gives the horse free rein to roam.
Toe the line. A racer's toe has to be placed at the line before the race. "Tow" would mean pulling the line.
Linda, thank you. It's piqued, toe, and rein for those who don't tune in.
reign is like "the reign of the king" and rein is "the reins on a horse"
I don't exist LOL…
I'll say a prayer for you, that your eyes will open soon, "Jesus Christ," which you obviously aren't (why would He say something like that?)
Truth I hope Jesus Christ, who obviously isn't, will find the Lord I will pray :)))
Are you insane?
Nope God here, he's the real deal!
Jesus Christ doesn't exist LOL….
As the famous joker had said in the movie The Dark Knight "Why so serious?" Why do people always get so defensive when it comes to politics and religion? Apparently there is more than one way to skin a cat.
that's what the famous Batman said in the Adam West days ("there's more than one way to skin a cat-woman")
Finally! You admit it!
Son,I told you not to say that….
You created me, daddy! And everything else, too! *CLUCK CLUCK*
You liar.
Without him you would not exist……………..
Jesus did exist, stop being disrespectful
really necessary to do that?
At least you better hope He doesn't. Otherwise, it's you and me for eternity.
What is dead may never die, son.
The fact that you just wrote something in this chat room which has absolutely nothing to do with the topic at hand proves you exist!
The fact that you physically had to do something to submit a post which has absolutely nothing to do with the topic at hand proves you exist!
Flagged as irrelevant tripe.
your wrong
Well, since you posted a statement which has absolutely nothing to do with the topic at hand, you must exist.
Jesus exists.
Nope sorry bud, but I never had a kid. Jews were my chosen for a reason!
What do you mean dad I am real!
I am real dad!
Jesus Christ! What do you mean you don't exist!
That's a hell of a thing to say!
In a fit of pique, these came to me,: "El Sombrero de Tres Picos" = the three-cornered (pointed) hat. "Pico de Gallo" =chicken's beak..all related. Take your pick…. That's my point.
That's a good one Joe!
piqued my intrest
"Peaked" or "Piqued": Depends on what you mean. "Peaked your interest" = something drove your interest to a high point. "Piqued…." , as you note, = stimulated or sparked your interest.
"peaked your interest" sounds quite awkward, though–I've never heard it used that way. I think the transitive verb would make more sense: "your interest peaked" or "made your interest peak"
It does not depend on what you mean!
This is a well known english phrase with only one meaning.
"Peak" is not a verb. Therefore something that drove your interest to a high point might have "piqued", by exciting interest to that level – but it did not "peak" because that is a thing not an action.
My sentiments exactly…
you're an idiot.
Not so, OldNassau. The verb "peak" is intransitive – meaning it is used without an object – so you cannot say "Alfred's entering the room peaked my interest." You can say "my interest peaked when Alfred entered the room", but that has an entirely different meaning.
it is "piqued" and that's basically all there is to it.
Nice one, OldNassau!

Woman – born of the fire of consciousness
Durga and Kali are not vehicles of a bygone era but are as pertinent today. One daily reads about the atrocities to women. When the Gods give boons they themselves become victims of these boons and it is then that they invoke SHREE SHAKTI; FEMININE POWER, to vanquish demons in society.Having conquered Mahishasur, Shree Durga is faced with Raktabeej. The Goddess laughs. She loves war and challenges. Kali drinks up the demon's blood who collapses and dies .The Goddess breaks into a dance of victory and is unstoppable until Shiva himself lies down on the path of her dance. She unwittingly puts her foot on Him her intoxication is stemmed.

The U.S. music industry has been crying poor for some time, arguing that YouTube and other ad-supported streaming services don't pay enough money in licensing fees for the music they use. But that message may be harder to sell now.
In 2016, the record industry had its best year in nearly two decades, the Record Industry Association of America said on Thursday. Total U.S. retail sales from recorded music rose 11.4% last year, to $7.7 billion, the biggest gain since 1998.
The bulk of that growth came from streaming services, which have overtaken sales of compact discs and other physical products. For the first time, streaming provided more than 50% of the industry's annual revenues, the RIAA said.
Get Data Sheet, Fortune's technology newsletter.
The industry isn't giving up its claim that YouTube is underpaying for the music played on the service, however. In the preamble to its report on Thursday, the RIAA noted that while 2016 was a "substantial overall improvement for the industry," total revenues are still half what they were in 1999, and that sales of physical products like CDs and digital downloads continue to decline.
In an essay about the industry's results, RIAA president Cary Sherman said that the business had achieved its "modest success" in spite of current music licensing and copyright laws, not because of them.
"It makes no sense that it takes a thousand on-demand streams of a song for creators to earn $1 on YouTube, while services like Apple and Spotify pay creators $7 or more for those same streams," Sherman said. "Why does this happen? Because a platform like YouTube wrongly exploits legal loopholes to pay creators at rates well below the true value of music."
The RIAA continues to argue that the Digital Millennium Copyright Act is misguided, and that YouTube benefits from the "safe harbor" provisions in the act, which allow it to host even copyright-infringing music provided it takes action when notified of any infringement.
Total revenues paid to the RIAA by streaming platforms such as Spotify, Apple Music, Tidal, and others amounted to $3.9 billion, an increase of almost 70% from a year earlier. In just five years, streaming has gone from 9% of recorded music revenues to 51% of the total.
Revenues from paid subscriptions showed the most growth, more than doubling to $2.5 billion, the RIAA said, accounting for about a third of all the growth in recorded music revenue.
The industry group said that RIAA revenue from on-demand subscription services supported by advertising, which would include services like Pandora and YouTube, rose 26% and contributed $469 million of the total last year. Sales of digital downloads, however, declined by 22% compared to 2015.
