Welcome to Ars Cardboard, our weekend look at tabletop games! Check out our complete board gaming coverage right here-and let us know what you think. From Shadows over Camelot to Ticket to Ride to Mystery of the Abbey (complete with tiny tin bell), Days of Wonder has put out some richly thematic games often set long ago or far away. Its last title, Five Tribes, was a turn toward more puzzle-y games, but even it was set in the world of the Arabian Nights. So new title Quadropolis, from French designer François Gandon, is something of an anomaly: a puzzle-style city builder set in contemporary Eurmerica. Can Days of Wonder keep its streak of hits alive? Building the city Gameplay in Quadropolis is quick and elegant. A central board called "the construction site" holds all available tiles for each round, and players take turns grabbing these to build their own cities. To do this, each player controls four architects, numbered "1" through "4." Turns consist of choosing one architect … [Read more...]
Can we go back in time and wipe Assassin's Creed film from our DNA?
The most telling line in the Assassin's Creed film, based on the video games of the same name, comes about midway through the film. Our hero, Callum Lynch (Michael Fassbender), is bombarded by nonsensical comments while trying to eat his lunch. After he's left alone for a moment, he chuckles to himself—the first and only time he does so in an organic fashion through the whole movie—before exclaiming, "What the fuck is going on?" I'm shocked that the filmmakers left this moment in the film, seeing as how Assassin's Creed's every element—the plot beats, the characters' decisions, the logical leaps—begs such a question. Assassin's Creed has the dubious honor of combining ho-hum action sequences, half-baked characters, and a script no larger than a doctor's free pamphlet. The results leave both series fans and curious passersby with nothing to sink their hidden blades into. Apple of no one's eye Lynch's origin story will sound familiar … [Read more...]
God Help Me, I Don't Like The New Legend Of Zelda Game
Screencap via YouTube Breath of the Wild, the latest installment in Nintendo's beloved Legend of Zelda series, has received basically universal acclaim since its release back at the beginning of this month. If the still-early reception were to crystallize today, it would go down as one of the most widely and ecstatically praised video games of all time. It is groundbreaking. It is a masterpiece. It is a cultural moment. It's also ... kind of tedious and boring? I feel a strange but real impulse—as a nostalgic lover of both the Legend of Zelda series (and, yeah, Nintendo itself) whose heart swells at the sounds of the Hyrule Field theme from 1998's Ocarina of Time—to apologize for this take. Truth be told, I want Nintendo, with its love of bright colors and sweet characters and fun puzzles, to reign supreme over a video-game landscape presently overrun by grim-and-gritty slaughter-fests geared to the dismal tastes of the sorts of ghouls who thought Batman V. … [Read more...]
Tournament Trolls Competitors By Making Them Dance To Smash Mouth
Dance Dance Revolution and its many copycats (Pump It Up, In the Groove, etc) already feel like a blast from the past. So why not lean into that? Tournament organizers at Rumble in the Prairie 9 yesterday decided to re-live 1999 and troll their competitors in the process. These competitors played on In the Groove machines, which are the same as DDR machines in terms of button layout, but are a lot friendlier towards importing user-created songs, since they use the open source StepMania engine. This allows for the existence of "sight-reading competitions," in which gamers compete in dances featuring music and steps that they've never seen ahead of time—a different and arguably more difficult task than practicing the same song over and over. So, these sight-reading competitions are already hard, but here's an even harder layer to add on top of them: The "couples" style of competition, in which two players coordinate to perform a dance that … [Read more...]
Jimmy Breslin Was New York City
Image credit: Sam Woolley. Photo credit: AP Legendary New York City newspaper columnist Jimmy Breslin died on Sunday at the age of 88. This profile originally appeared in the November, 1987 issue of GQ and appears here with permission from the author. He goes to work at 9:30 Saturday morning of the Memorial Day weekend. He leaves the elevator and walks into the lobby of his apartment house. The young doorman says, "Morning, sir." "Yeah. How you doin'?" The doorman counters his scowl with a grin, and shrugs. "Awful." He likes this, and smiles, the first of the day. As someone once said, every day is the worst day of Jimmy Breslin's life. As he walks north up Central Park West, it is hot, jungle humid, the kind of day that is a prophesy of New York in high summer. The sky is white and gray and black, the smoldering colors of a dump fire. It starts to rain softly and Breslin looks up, furious. The writer as Ahab, ready to strike the sky if it insults him. As he nears 72nd Street, his New … [Read more...]
Best-Selling Books That Were Rejected
"Lolita" by Vladimir Nabokov Published in 1955, "Lolita" is considered one of the greatest novels of the twentieth century. With an extremely controversial plot line–a middle-aged literature professor becomes sexually involved and obsessed with his new 12-year-old stepdaughter–many publishers wouldn't touch this book with a ten-foot pole! Nabokov received multiple rejection letters stating harsh criticism for his manuscript, one even saying, "I recommend that it be buried under a stone for a thousand years." Today, it's sold over 50 million copies worldwide, and has been published by all of the major publishing houses that initially rejected it. "Anne of Green Gables" by Lucy Maud Montgomery This classic tale is an iconic publication from 1908, one that would be difficult to imagine a childhood without. But Montgomery received five different rejection letters from publishing companies before her first novel was … [Read more...]
For A Metal Gear Porn Parody, These Special Effects Are Okay!
[Image via Brazzers] Usually porn parodies seem content with just cosplay, but not this Metal Gear Solid one. It's really gone the extra mile. Dubbed Metal Rear Solid: The Phantom Peen (heh), this is the latest game themed endeavour from the folks behind the Overwatch dirty movie and the FFXV skin flick. Besides groan-inducing puns like "Diamond Dongs," it's the production value that stands out. GIF [Image via Brazzers] In The Phantom Peen, there is decent enough CG for this kind of thing. [Image via Brazzers] Locations kinda match up with MGSV. (Though, that cardboard is terrible.) [Image via Brazzers] Okay cosplay! GIF [Image via Brazzers] And smoke. [Image via Brazzers] Good map UI.

You Will Fail: Today's Guide To Ignoring The Super Bowl
Photo: Charlie Riedel/AP You there. Yes, you. Guess what you will not be doing tonight. You will not be skipping the Super Bowl. Sorry. I've heard it all before. I don't care about football and I can watch all the too-hot-for-TV commercials on my own time, thank you very much and I was never planning on skipping the Super Bowl, you asshole and actually a dipshit blogger convinced me to stop enjoying a thing I and my family and all my friends have been enjoying my entire life—let me let you off the hook right here and now: all of this bold talk will go into the toilet before the end of the first quarter, and you will give in and watch the Super Bowl. Ignoring the Super Bowl is not for you—I'm afraid you just don't have it in you. I know this because I dohave it in me. I am superior to you in this way—no offense. One of the many, many manifestations of this superiority is the ability to look at a person and see their character and you, I'm … [Read more...]
Someone Finally Made an Electric Grill That Doesn't Suck
All images: Alex George Foreman changed the kitchen game when he slapped his name on a low-rent panini press and sold it to the masses. In the late 90s and early aughts, the George Foreman Grill was the kitchen appliance to own—after the refrigerator, microwave, and stove. But what if the George Foreman grill wasn't that cheapo appliance your grandma bought you when you went to college? What if it was a super smart device that could cook your food perfectly without you ever keeping an eye on it. That might just be what the Cinder Precision Grill is—the magical meat maker I've always wanted. Before we get to the cooking, though, please note: the Cinder is huge—it's heavy and bulky, taking up just under a foot of counter space, and handily dwarfs my roommate's five-quart Kitchen Aid. Which is a problem in a tiny apartment like ours. Dragging it out of the box I suffered some serious buyer's remorse, and my roommate slowly chopped her … [Read more...]
Batman: Arkham Knight: The Kotaku Re-Review
Batman: Arkham Knight spins one of the most ambitious video game stories ever told, and watching it thunder to its conclusion is like watching a 747 successfully land on a helicopter pad. It may not be known for its narrative, but that is its achievement—a spiraling and notably interactive tale that takes you inside the mind of one of popular culture's most enduring and fascinating figures. Originally released in 2015, Arkham Knight told a dark story, even by Batman standards. The Arkham games, as envisioned by the men and women of the UK games studio Rocksteady, had always provided grittier, more "adult" material than your average episode of The Animated Series. But even in that context, Arkham Knight seemed different from its Rocksteady predecessors. This Batman was angry and dangerous. He pounded through Gotham in a tank, running down unarmed looters and torturing people to get what he wanted. He grunted and grimaced; he glowered and roared. When I first … [Read more...]
Shelled Vs. Unshelled Peanuts… Who Ya Got?!
Illustration by Jim Cooke Time for your weekly edition of the Deadspin Funbag. Got something on your mind? Email the Funbag. Today, we're covering shaving for old man noises, poop hoses, phone alerts, and more. Your letters: Ryan: My wife and I have a debate about peanuts still in the shell. I insist shell peanuts are superior in every way, seasoning, texture and taste. She thinks they taste the same as any other peanut you can buy and doesn't understand my affinity towards those messy little nuggets of goodness. I've asked many coworkers but am still not satisfied with their answers. I need a definitive call on this. What's your take? I think they taste better in the shell, but that may be a delusion. Whenever I eat peanuts in the shell, I'm like, "These taste so FRESH!" even though the only reason they aren't shelled is because it would cut into BIG NUT'S overhead costs, and even though the bag was probably sitting in a Georgia warehouse for eight years-with some dude named Rusty … [Read more...]
A Friend Convinced Me To Shut Up And Enjoy Halo 3
Halo 3 Screenshots It took my buddy Dave several months to coerce me into playing play Halo 3 with him. "We should nail down our weekend plans," he texted me on July 1st. "I'm thinking of getting an early start around 8 a.m. and just play straight through until we beat it." "I can bring Mountain Dew and Doritos so we don't have to stop and eat," he jokingly offered. Truly, though, he was desperate. Not because he doesn't have anybody to play Halo 3 with. Dave has plenty of friends and a lovely fiancee. No, Dave specifically wanted to play Halo 3 with me—in part, because I was his only friend with an Xbox, but mostly because I just didn't like Halo that much and was quite vocal about it to anyone who asked. We can psychoanalyze, sure. I have a twin brother who hosted big Halo parties with loud, teenaged boys. I had tried out Halo 3 a few times in high school and was aggressively not interested in doing so again. So, in … [Read more...]
A Comprehensive Guide to the Worst Rogue One Takes on the Internet
All images: Disney/Lucasfilm It was inevitable that with something as culturally dominant as Star Wars, people would be falling all over themselves to share their thoughts. We're not immune to takes here, but everything on this list contains something that will melt your face off from the sheer heat of the take, or crack your brain in two from trying to wrap your head around its awfulness.

The Best TV of the Year That We Haven't Watched and Will Not Watch
Image via HBO. In this so-called golden age of television, saying "there's nothing to watch" is one of the biggest lies you can tell yourself. On the contrary, there's too much to watch—and a lot of it is good! Remember when "Must See TV" was just one night? Now it's every night. It's 10 times a night. Must-See TV is just any TV that happens to be turned on, and frankly, as has been remarked time and time again, it's too much for many of us to handle. Below you'll find a selection of shows that no one would stop talking about in 2016, but that we couldn't find the time (or the desire) to watch. No offense to any of them (we're sure The Night Of is great), it's just that...something else was on. CLOVER'S NON-PICKS Image via NBC This Is Us I refuse to engage with this manipulative melodrama, purely off the strength of the excessive praise for a show I presume to be mediocre at best. There are … [Read more...]
Clay Buchholz Is Your Problem Now, Phillies Fans
Jim Rogash/Getty Images In a move that is notable mostly because it will shut up Red Sox fans just a little bit, the Sox have traded embattled pitcher Clay Buchholz to the Phillies for Josh Tobias, a prospect you've never heard of. This means very little in the baseball sense, but it is fantastic news for anyone who knows a Red Sox fan. These people somehow managed to surpass a 100-precent insufferable index every fifth day with Buchholz on the mound, groaning about the rat-faced man's inability to record outs. Plus, I think "Buchholz" has to be up there for worst words said with a Boston accent. The competition for that, though, is literally every other word. But, okay, their frustrations are not without merit. Sox fans may be annoying as hell about their displeasure, but honestly, who can blame them. Buchholz has been up and down as hell since throwing a no-hitter in his second career start in 2007. His seasonal stats have been a roller coaster, but his … [Read more...]
The Best Cars And Trucks We Drove In 2016
(Photo Credit: Raphael Orlove) Much like kicking Anakin Skywalker into a river of lava, we end 2016 with some bittersweet memories of the good times in between the bad. Yes, we do march into an impending dystopian future, but we drove some nice cars on our off days. Fun isn't obsolete yet, folks! We still had cars to drive, and there were some truly magnificent machines in our lives over the last 12 months. When times get strange, perhaps the best way to sustain sanity is to reconnect with your irrational passions. Like turning gasoline into noise, just because. It's what we do. It's what you do. Or if it's not, we'll do our best to bring you along. Here were some of our favorite rides in 2016. –Andrew Collins 2017 Ford Raptor (Photo Credit: Andrew Collins) I was so out-of-my-mind excited to drive the new Raptor that by the time I actually got into the driver's seat, I was starting to doubt it'd be able to live up to the hype … [Read more...]
Even On Console, Stardew Valley Controller Support Isn't Great
When Eric "ConcernedApe" Barone announced the console ports for Stardew Valley in June 2016, he called the game's controller support, "less than ideal," and said it would be updated for Playstation 4 and Xbox One releases. As of launch on Playstation 4 today, the controller support is still, well… less than ideal. It isn't an unmitigated disaster—walking around feels better with a controller than it does with a keyboard and mouse, and the fishing minigame is definitely easier. The problem is that the game still requires you to use a cursor for some things, like claiming quest rewards or doing inventory management. It's very difficult to control that cursor with a controller. It's not just me who feels this way: I've seen a few people on the (super chill) Stardew Valley subreddit also voice complaints about the game's controller support. Some fans had hoped that today's console release would lead to better … [Read more...]
Real Piece of Shit Column: Corruption Is Fine
Photo: AP As much as Republicans groaned about Donald Trump, they were always destined to fall in line once he actually had power. They are still falling. There is, I admit, a certain shooting-fish-in-the-barrel aspect to critiquing Wall Street Journal op-eds, particularly if you do not believe it is fine for Poison Corp. to pump poison directly into public school water fountains for the sake of increasing earnings per share. Too easy. For this reason we often let them slide. But people—rich people!—still read this shit. And sometimes something comes along that is worthy of notice. (Noticing that it is a piece of shit). Republicans: the business types, right? The party of law and order, right? The party that follows the rules. Ehhh... but now there's Donald Trump.

Taking The 2017 Ford Raptor Off-Road Is Like Driving With Cheat Codes
GIF I feel like we've waiting for the new 2017 Ford Raptor forever. I mean, it's hard to not get stoked about a daily-drivable high-speed off-road truck. This week we finally got to let it loose in exactly the kind of extreme sandscape you see in the commercials, and once again, it's almost too good-but at a price some may not be willing to pay, and I don't mean the MSRP. The all-new 2017 Ford Raptor is a 5,500 pound turbocharged brick sitting almost a foot off the… (Full Disclosure: Ford needed me to drive the new Raptor so badly they put me on a train to San Diego, gave me a $62,000 truck to drive out into the desert, put me up in a nice hotel and then sent me out into the sand with the vehicle, a helmet and a full tank of gas.) We basically simulated exactly the kind of weekend an ambitious Raptor owner might have-drive from the city to the sand Saturday morning, play off-road all day and head home again as the sun goes down on Sunday. Time to make the donuts! (Photo … [Read more...]

Rumours described Sussanne Khan and Hrithik Roshan was holidaying with their sons. As Sussanne Khan posted pictures of holidaying around with her kids and Hrithik Roshan was also found spending good times with his family during those times. The rumours spreaded like a fire and came down with Sussanne's statement. It takes the fact opposite to the rumours as Hrithik's ex wife said,
"It surprises me how quickly the press likes to reach conclusions about my life. No, we were certainly not holidaying together. Hrithik happened to be in London at the same time for a few days as I had to take over the boys from him, for my holiday with them. Like I always said, Hrithik and I are parents first and have to be in-sync regarding our priorities as parents in order to make sure our boys get the best upbringing. They are and always will be our main priority. So, the two of us having lunch with them doesn't mean we are holidaying together."

Marvellous Verneuil Ruby Ring Circa 1920
Item #1156
This deliciously plump antique cushion cut verneuil ruby has the most captivating regal hue and is estimated to be 4cts. The warmth of the yellow gold setting, tested as 15ct, sets off the vibrant colour of the red stone and neatly hugs the verneuil ruby within a rub-over setting with millegrain edging. The three-split shank, in a metal tested as 22ct yellow gold, draws your eye to the centre with the perfect amount of detail to complement the stone and create balance within the piece. The ring is circa 1920 and is currently a ring size M, but can be easily re-sized.

tootieboo- (n) refers to any female, referred to in a sexual sense, that is between the age of 18 and 29, is yet to become a mother, and is very attractive. Tootieboo can refer to the sexual organ of such a female as well. Tootieboo tends to be more playful and less intellegent than Coodyboo; however, they are not usually ignorant by any means. Most tootieboo has yet to sow their wild oats and can seem an easier target to land in the sack- even if they possess a boyfriend. They always get your attention.

The Course of Human Events
For sale: books, cds, dvds, hobby, leisure and sports in Nigeria
Last update:
Ad description
FROM THE #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLINGAUTHOR OF JOHN ADAMSOn May 15th, 2003 David McCullough presented The Course of Human Events as The 2003 Jefferson Lecture in the Humanities in Washington, DC. The Jefferson Lecture is a tribute to McCullough's lifetime investigation of history. In this short speech, this master historian tracks his fascination with all things historical to his early days in Pittsburgh where he "learned to love history by way of books" in bookshops and at the local library. McCullough eloquently leads us through the founding fathers' attraction to history, letting us in on his composition of 1776 as well as the Pulitzer Prize winning John Adams. His obvious affection for history is inspiring, because it encompasses the whole reach of the human drama. In McCullough's able hands, history truly "is a larger way of looking at life."Address: 34, Mcnell Rd, off Montgomery Rd, Yaba, Lagos, Nigeria

Inuyasha Adventures: Rika and Kazemaru (犬夜叉の冒険:リカと風丸, Inuyasha no Bouken: Rika and Kazemaru) is the sixth chapter of the fanfiction Slider Saga.
Signature: --InazumaFan here!! (About Me | Talk | Contribution) 08:27, August 21, 2011 (UTC)
Rika woke up inside an old, dry well. Since it's so dark there, Rika began to panic.
"Dark, dark, dark!! Man, it's so creepy here!! Help!!!!!!!!!!"
"What's with the noise? It's so loud that it almost brought me to deafness..." A familiar voice, Kazemaru, came.
"MY HERO!!!" Rika shouted.
As they walk around finding a way to go up, they saw a rope.
"Look over there, a rope!" Kazemaru told to Rika.
"You really are my hero!!"
Both climbed the rope, and they got up. Looking at each other:
"What's with the clothes? What school are you, anyway?" Kazemaru asked to Rika.
"If my clothes are weird, what's with the dog ears?"
"Inumimi?!" Then Kazemaru suddenly touched an ear on his head. "Waaah!!! This is completely WEIRD!!"
"Your ears may be kawaii, but Ichinose's still more kawaii!!"
"Don't care if I'm not kawaii, It's just that... I LOOK LIKE A WEIRDO!!"
"Stop that. You're making noise in this village." A young lady (named Kagome) came.
"I see, so you lost in this forest, and you came from another world." Kagome commented.
"I don't care about these brats; it's just that they're so annoying making noise all around."
And then, *Sweat drops*
"You are so rude about them. Why is that you don't care?"
"C'mon, c'mon, that hurts..."
"And why is that you both wore clothes that seem to make resemblance from us?" Kagome asked.
"Dunno..." both replied.
"So let's have a chat, okay?" Kagome told to them.
"Sure!!" Both again replied.
After a few hours...
"Man, I'm getting homesick." Kazemaru said.
"Me too..."
"I think I know now what the two of you should do."
"Really?"Both replied
"Jump into the well..."
Then silence came in, out of surprise.
(SFX: Loud shout)"WHY?!" Both replied, "It's so creepy down there!!"
"Then fight your fear. You're not in your elementary years anymore, so do it."
Then both came back again.

The 1969 film, True Grit, is -- along with Romeo and Juliet -- one of the memorable movies of my childhood. I saw it several times and I checked out a copy of Charles Portis's novel from my local library. I recall not liking it very much, probably because it wasn't like the movie (sound familiar?), so when I realized that another movie version of the book was opening soon (and that a. I would want to see it and b. I would want to revisit the book beforehand), I took a copy of the audiobook out of the hands of some deserving old person as the book was headed into the delivery van (the only lending library I have regular access to is that of Library Outreach Services). I'd just like to add that the book was not on hold for anyone, it was just going into a general mobile circulating collection.
[Why do song lyrics stick in your head forever? The title of this post is part of the execrable "theme song" of the 1969 movie by Glen Campbell. Alas, I had no difficulty whatsoever in dredging that from my brain. But can I remember the name of the book I read last week?]
True Grit is the story of Mattie Ross, a bossy, self-possessed 14-year-old girl growing up in Yell County, Arkansas in the decade following the Civil War. Her father travels to Fort Smith with their hired hand, Tom Chaney, in order to purchase some horses. After an argument, Chaney shoots her father dead in the street and escapes west to Indian Territory (Oklahoma). Her mother is too devastated to see to the details, so Mattie goes to Fort Smith to claim her father's body and to hire someone who will track down Tom Chaney and see that justice is done. On the recommendation of local law enforcement, Mattie hires Deputy U.S. Marshal Reuben J. "Rooster" Cogburn because he's the meanest. He's also a drunk, probably a racist and he doesn't like little girls very much, but he likes the idea of Mattie's money and so he takes the job.
Mattie meets up with another lawman, a Texas Ranger called LaBoeuf, who is also hunting Chaney down for another murder. The two men agree to conduct the manhunt together, but neither is very happy when Mattie succeeds in coming along. Mattie's got a lot of "sand" in her, but she's also a prudish, condescending pain in the ass. The tough journey the three of them make in search of Chaney only takes up about a third of the book, but it's a fascinating exercise in character development to watch how each is changed profoundly by their experience. I liked the book a lot more than I did as a teenager -- it's really funny, and the sense of time and place feels very authentic. I enjoyed the voice of Mattie -- so confident, yet so clueless about her effect on others.
The part of the cover image that you can't read says "with an afterword by Donna Tartt." Tartt, the author of two novels I've been meaning to read, also reads this audiobook. She has a pleasant, Southern-tinged voice that is pretty perfect for young Mattie. Even though Mattie is an elderly woman telling us her story, Tartt thankfully doesn't attempt to sound old. I disagree, though, with her interpretation of Mattie's coolness and unflappability. She reads the novel way too flat emotionally, with barely an acknowledgement of Mattie's moments of panic and fear, not to mention grief.
Tartt reads her own afterword, which is an essay on her lasting affection for the novel. I appreciated the way she revisited sections of the story to support her points, and that the quoted sections came from the audiobook.
Nearly every other character in the novel is male and Tartt attempts to create distinct voices for Rooster, LaBoeuf, Tom Chaney and another nasty bandit, Lucky Ned Pepper. She's not terribly consistent with her voices, and -- in many places -- I could not easily determine who was speaking. Her attempt at a Spanish accent for another character fails completely.
I don't mean to pile on, but the recording itself wasn't very good either. There were gulps and swallows, lip smacks, breath intakes and all manner of bodily noises pretty much constantly throughout the recording. Now, I believe these sounds show up all the time when books are being recorded and the publishers simply do their voodoo and excise them. Did Recorded Books deliberately choose not to edit out the sounds because Tartt is not a professional narrator (although she has recorded her own novels)?
The 1969 movie ended differently than the novel (which I didn't remember). Now that I've done my homework (and, despite my criticisms, I enjoyed it), I'm very curious to see what the talented Coen brothers will do with the material.

Haven't seen the original movie, loved the new movie! Have you managed to watch it yet? I was hoping you'd have loved the audio book as I'm looking for a new one and really want to read this, but alas, I'd say I'm going to skip it based on your review. Thanks!

Oh how I want to be free
Sep. 3rd, 2011 | 04:25 pm
and I said, "Wonderful, really calm actually, like a walk in the park on a spring day."
And again they asked me, and I told them; "To be honest, I never get scared, because I know that that doesn't prevent the inevitable. I have regret though. I will be dying without a good friend knowing some important facts."
And then, for the sake of the argument, let's call him X, then X came along out of nowhere, and I thought I was going to smile at him, but I did and then I gave him a huge hug and we sorted everything out and walked around with our arms thrown over eachother, chitchatting, back to best friends, and then we met up with some more friends and got in X's car to go someplace.
And I know it seems like the kind of dream a twelve year old would have, but the feeling of happiness and the smiles on the faces and the tones of the voices were so accurate, so real, I did genuinely believe everything was okay for a minute when I woke up.
And then I drank my tea, and remembered.
Sometimes you should just keep your clothes on and ignore what other parts of your body tell you, because in the end the heart is just a big old horny organ that wants action and human proximity and touch 24/7, and even if your brain thinks, "It's fine, we're best friends, neither of us are ready for or want a relationship at the moment, let alone with eachother, this is just a bit of friendly summer love and it can happen as much as it wants to, and we can stop whenever we want to, too" you can never account for the other person's brain.
So I drank my tea this morning feeling sad, and I smoke this cigarette in my toilet feeling dejected, and later I will smoke a spliff feeling resigned. And that is the cycle, I know myself, and it's fine. It is fine.
I just want to be more than fine.

mood: flirty
And all the memories of the pubs
and the clubs and the drugs and the tubs
we shared together,
Will stay with me forever.
But all the highs and the lows
and the to's and the fro's,
They left me dizzy,
Oh won't you please forgive me
AAAAAAAAaaaaaaaghhhhhhhh.... i truly hate this feeling. Well used to it and an expert in positive thinking; uninviting, but not quite as impossible as everyone assumes. However, in the human sense, when I strip away all the
and the dots
and the crosses and the naughts
cause they're not working
i can see i'm hurting.
And it's a pain really, I hate being this emotional. I've been reduced to tears so many times I should really write a handbook; A Few Easy Steps to Pulling 'Fine' Off;
1. Warning signs of tears include; a prickly mess in the back of your throat, a rising sense of hysteria, downwards tugging on the corners of your mouth, blurring of vision, shortage of breath.
2. If you experience any of these symptoms in company (or in the company of anyone other than a trusted friend), excuse yourself politely. It is important to make your excuse brisque and flat; not a trace of emotion can show - "Hey, I gotta go, I'll catch you later." Stand for no questioning - you can always explain yourself later - and split.
3. Upon doing this, exit the area IMMEDIATELY. If you feel an uncontrolable swelling inside of you, it is permissable to break into a run, but try to opt for more subtle ways of covering the outburst, like sheilding your face with an arm from the sun, or ducking into the loo or behind a foodstand.
4. Once you have reached a secure destination (your room, a tent, a bench on the top of a remote hill overlooking tranquil rivers), and only then, may you let loose and howl.
5. Depending on your chosen safe location, varying volumes of crying ought to be taken into consideration. If you're alone in your house, the noise can be fairly enormous. If you are in a tent in a campsite with friends, a minimum whimper can be audible - yours truly can cry silently.
It's pretty sad.
But I'm pretty happy.
It's good to be able to feel things. I'm pretty lucky.
In other news, the only member of Jane's Addiction to show at Reading Festival was Dave Navarro, apologizing on behalf of the band - Perry had gotten ill and was unable to sing.
Having just begun to feel my 0.7 grams of md kicking in, I was absolutely depressed. There are few words that would adequately describe my misery. Navarro was looking sexy as hell, but even that wasn't enough to make up for the next three hours I spent, high as a kite, with Franki and two boys we brought back to our tents, attempting conversation. Eventually Franki and her guy left to do stuff in her tent while I was left with Big Arms, who kissed me a little but I couldn't bring myself to go further. This was half because I had gotten to that point where I felt as though I'd had enough action for the holiday, and just wanted to go back to June. It was also because I was still in the throws of a great, Jane's-less high that was causing me to flick my wrists and jiggle my leg constantly. But mostly, I kept my clothes on because by the time Franki and Loud Mouth had gone into her tent, I was slowly sobering up, and Big Arms was revealed to have Big Ears and Little Head and Pathetic Wet Personality.
Let's talk more about the festival. I saw Madness live - they had this incredibly frank, sensual energy that I absolutely loved; got a thing for older guys, I guess.
The bathrooms. Oh, those bathrooms. There may come a day when I freely speak of the horrors within without a shudder, openly, with no pain. That day is not today however; today I leave it to your imagination.
But IMAGINE swimmingpools of shit, sick and piss floating below you, filling the entire area for circa 20 feet with the smell.
11.41am: Just got back from a party I really didn't want to go to. At around 2am my friends Sofia and Oly pulled me off Oly's sofa where I was comfortably collapsed, stoned out of my mind, and dragged me out on the town. This, along with handing me a spray-paint can, turned out to be a very weird idea. Milan now has several aliens, a phrase on the back of some scaffolding that reads "SCRATCH YOUR NAME INTO THE FABRIC OF THIS WORLD", and several of Sofia's stenciled hands.
We arrived to Brera, which is this street lined with fancy bars, art galleries, designer shops, and men in red trousers and women with legs that go on forever. Tonight, or rather this morning, the scene was the same as ever, only everyone was more drunk.
We went to the park behind Brera, where we all go to smoke up, and hung out there for a minimal period of time (I spotted an old boyfriend embarassingly drunk and was trying to avoid him). We then went back to Callum's house where we stayed awake until around 4. Then everyone passed out - Sofia on the sofa, Oly on the sofa, and me being flirtatiously spooned by Luc (although I couldnt bring myself to do anything) and later Andy snuck into my bed and tried to do stuff - although I couldnt bring myself to do anything there, either.
And alarm bells ring
when you say your heart still sings
when you're with me.
Won't you please forgive me?
I'm questioning my auditory capacity at the moment, only I'm not, really. I am, as usual, fucked. But there is no room or need for questioning.
Well, I'm going to go pass out under my pillows now.

If I had my way, I'd never get over you
Sep. 10th, 2010 | 02:10 pm
mood: depressed
Which was fantastic, right up to the whole Waking-ip-and-realizing-that-none-of-it-h
It's terrible. They're coming back more and more frequently.
On the bright side, this time I slid into another dream just after the dream with X, so I actually woke up while people were trying to lure me into sneaky grass and tempt me with pastries and the rocks and trees were helping my family members follow me as a I tried to sneak off to have a cigarette... So what I'm trying to say is that I was able to feel some relief upon awkakening.
Still... If I had it my way, I'd spend my life asleep. Everything... is so much better there. It's a place where everything can be anything and nothing has to make sense and, for that same absurd reason, everything does.
But anyway. Going back to X. I miss him.
I mean, to how many people can you say "When you showed me myself, I became someone else" and actually mean it?
And that's not it, either.
But he's gone, and that's for the better, because if he was still present in my life, eventually he'd die, and that would break my heart.
Then again, this way when he dies, I won't know. I won't even be able to go to his funeral.
And the only thing that scares me more than living in a world without X is living in a world without X and not knowing.
I need a cigarette.
Over and out - oh hey, that's ironic isn't it?

mood: complacent
i know that even if i cleaned my room i would not feel better. what is there for me to do? go for a walk, smoke my cigarettes... there's nothing, really. i can't tell the difference between boredom and just being high anymore. pale green can do that to you, i suppose. anything can do that to you, but there is nothing anything or anyone can do that i have not already done to myself.
i wish it would rain... did i just arrive home last night, or have i been here for longer? It seems these past nights i've been everywhere and back, but i can't remember it all at all...
i'm almost glad no one reads these things.
i'm going to go chill in my bath. maybe bring some pillows or some books or some music.
or will i just fall asleep on my bed again? Probably.

In the morning and AMazing

mood: curious
it's 10 past 7
in the morning
and im aawake
and hallucinating slightly
i'm convinced my hair has a little red in it.... which... it doesn't
I'm slowly coming around to the idea of being nocturnal... there's a lot you can get done while the world is half asleep.
See, metaphorically, that kind of thing sounds quite cool. Realistically, i'm a girl writing, listening to music, drawing and sorting the laundry at 5 in the morning, and it's kinda weird.

With you on my mind, and my heart held in your hands
Jul. 4th, 2010 | 05:36 pm
mood: good
...Screaming, "Break me."
Good song.
Well, things are looking up, and changing... Met a great guy, who I hope to be seeing more of, and got accepted into a school I hope to enjoy and benefit from... God this sounds like a personal statement or some such crap.
I'm bored; there's nothing to do, and as much as i would love to go out and grab a coffee and a new packet of ciggies (running lowwww) it's simply TOO FUCKING HOT for either. so i'm in my nice little air conditioned empty appartment, watching Bridget Jones. None of my friends are in town - all in Spain or the Maldives and once again I remind myself how nice it is to be alone.
Had a nice, long, cool bath earlier, and am contemplating another, although I'm not too sure exactly how many baths one can take in one day without their hair falling off ad skin pealing and other gross things...
I can't believe I'm moving.... New York, Milan, and now Cambridge... God, then what? I like Warrick and Trinity College in Dublin; I've always liked the idea of Southampton, but apparently it doesn't have the best literature program... And then? I want to travel for two years, travel all over the place, and then maybe go into teaching - English - I don't want to teach without having seen the world; I'd feel like I was lying, you know?
God, it's so weird to thing that this is the future... today is the tomorrow I was scared about yesterday, lol... And it's so weird to be doing all this alone. Not that I have a problem with the way things are at all, at all, but... I just always thought I'd be in this with someone else. I guess it's better in a way - I can afford to about myself and all that. I just never thought I'd be here the way I am now. Short hair - smoking - studying - boarding school - drugs - dates with lots of guys - alone... it's weird.
Then, I'm only seventeen.................. 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30.......... it's just the way my head goes...
Well, eventually, after everything, I'll have a place to come home to. That's just how I'll look at it: A really long road paved with lots of people that will eventually lead me home, to someone I love and to a life I can lean my head back on and just exhale slowly.

Let It Bleed by The Used
Mar. 21st, 2010 | 01:44 pm
mood: awake
I broke the needle off in my skin
Picked the scabs and picked the bleeding
And assumed that it was all in vain
A positive scab that's never healing
Calloused hit me in the face
A burning bridge that's so misleading
Poison's more potent now with the flame
Let it bleed
And take the red for what it's worth
Watch the fire
Fill your lungs with smoke for the last time
If you feel like dying you might wanna sing
The fire department couldn't drown the city
They didn't even try to wash it clean
And what did you think that I was sober
Put me out cause I'm on fucking fire
A positive scab that's never healing
I regret that I kept this clean
The most that I can do for you is keep on lying
It's not a lie if you can let it sing
Let it bleed
Take the red for what it's worth
Watch the fire
Fill your lungs with smoke for the last time
If you feel like dying you might wanna sing
You might wanna sing or scream it...
This poison's my intoxication
I broke the needle off in my skin
Picked the scabs and picked the bleeding
And assumed that it was all in vain

do i have nothing good left to say...
Mar. 18th, 2010 | 12:52 am
mood: awake
you said move on, where do i go?
he kissed my lips, i taste your mouth -
he pulled me in; i was disgusted with myself.
when i'm with him i am thinking of you
what you would do if
you were the one spending the night
i wish that i
was looking into your...
the best, and yes, i do regret
how i could let myself let you go
now the lesson's learned
i touched, and i was burned
i think you should know...
maybe then i could sleep at night.............. this is something that i'll never
i can't formulate or keep up with the words
i love i loved i hate i have loved... what i want and what i need are buried deep inside me
the devil and the angel will never entice me
my hair comes away in my hand and the cigarette burns out
ii taste the after-ashes in my mouth
sometimes i feel that id be better off that way
my salvation is my voice thats burning out
and common sense is something i can do without
so here's to living life miserable
how can i get you alone?
does this seem like it's about? that's not what i meant at all...
but then again, i'll probably always feel this way...
this is about... hats. and being astutely convinced otherwise, even though otherwise is staring you in the face stark naked wearing a hat with 'LOGIC' imprinted on it in bright dull letters.
this is about being unable to let go of a future that's in the past.
forgetting how to make things last -
its so easy to be alone.
Break me.
really, i... this is just about me, and my thoughts at this time of mourning.
i thought i was finished minutes ago
and somehow somewhere somebody knows... somebody knows what i mean
i have to hold on to that hope. i reject the idea that i'm alone in here. and of course some people are drivin out of their minds - it's so dark and spooky in there.
am i thinking? does this count as breathing?
she, like a butterfly in the night of her last day
tries to see
all of me
before it's too late
streets deserted, and overgrown,
she walks alone,
i try to match her pace.
i don't want to freeze over like so many before me, but i feel myself getting closer. i'm so close to the cold, close to the pain
but it's better to burn out than to fade away.
my actions ignore me - and i'm just the same
i can't breath i can't breath i can't breath
music doesn't help, the drugs don't work
they just make it worse.
i try to stay awake for the sake of those around me
but would they really be so much worse off without me?
and eventually, would they forget about me?
i can't quit while i'm ahead, cause i'm way too far behind,
but once i cross the finish line, in my own slow time
i'll keep on running.
i understand your sadness, so i guess i should just hold my tongue..
Good mourning, survival.
I'm coming home.

For as long as I can remember, nonprofits have been able to obtain a 3-month automatic extension for Form 990 filings simply by filing IRS Form 8868 before the initial due date. The Form 990 filing due date is four months and fifteen days after the organization's fiscal year-end (e.g., May 15 for calendar fiscal years, and November 15 for fiscal years ending June 30). For an additional three-month extension, nonprofits have had to make a second filing – this time to ask permission for such additional extension and to demonstrate "reasonable cause". Further, since the penalties …read more

Money will miss most vulnerable
There has to be a better way to spend $359 million.
That's the message from one low decile Auckland school after hearing the government has set aside $359 million for the Investing in Educational Success programme in the 2014 budget.
The principal and community of May Road School say the policy is channelling money into the pockets of individuals rather than helping New Zealand's most vulnerable students.
Nga Arona, 59, has five grandchildren at the Mt Roskill school.
"There is a lot of poverty out there," she says.
"It is hard to see children come to school without lunch and no shoes when the government has money they could be giving them."
She says quality teaching is important, but it has a limited impact if the children's stomachs are empty.
The programme would see the introduction of four new roles: executive principals, change principals, expert teachers and lead teachers, as well as a teacher-led innovation fund.
Those individual teachers' and principals' salaries would be topped-up by the government. For example a change principal would receive an extra $50,000 per year on top of their salary.
The initiative aims to raise student achievement by increasing the quality of teaching and leadership. But May Road School would rather see that money used to address class sizes, give more support to new entrant students who have English as their second language, fund more support teachers and tackle poverty.
Board of Trustees member and mother Waajidah Vahora says parents are crucial to the equation but they haven't been included in the decision.
"There wasn't enough time for any consideration, there wasn't enough time for us to think of other ways," she says.
"There are many ways to use that money, so find other ways, show us how you want to use it and we will tell you if that is going to work for our children."
Principal Lynda Stuart says the process behind the programme hasn't been transparent.
"The working group and all the development around the report that has gone to the minister has all been kind of secret squirrel," she says.
"It is all there but it isn't in the public, it is just beavering away in the background and that is a danger - something is going to be done to schools across New Zealand and by the time we know it is going to be too late."
Education Minister Hekia Parata says the influence of poverty on educational success is not being underestimated.
But the government can't wait for poverty to be weeded out before it starts to tackle the inequitable education system.
"We've got a prime minister that is from a state home and a sole parent and a minister of education that is from a state home with a sole parent - it was education that made the difference," she says.
"Teachers didn't say, 'well you've got such a poor background we need to fix that before we can teach you'."
Parata says in the next two or three weeks she will take the working group paper back to cabinet.
"At that point there will be further and wider conversations so it is an ongoing process," she says.
"It is not intended to be implemented until next year so we will have had 18 months to two years of conversation and development before it is implemented."

Photojournalist Makes a Camera Out of Teapot Destroyed in Wildfire
Stories like this one fill my heart back up with inspiration after times of discouragement. On August 16th, 2016 James Quigg, chief photographer of The DailyPress offered to cover the Blue Cut California wildfire as news of it came into the newsroom. They had just finished covering The Pilot Fire which had changed to a contained status that very day. He expected it to be a quick and easy story as he has learned over 25 years of being a journalist, the second fire was always smaller. When he arrived at the intersection of Interstate 15 and Highway 138 he stood in awe surrounded by flames in all four directions. As he observed the destruction he realized he'd be covering the largest fire of his career and this time he wanted to do something different that would be remembered for years.

Neat-To-Eat Sloppy Joe Crescents (Pillsbury Bake-Off Finalist)
Recipe by DuChick
This sloppy sandwich is given a new twist when it's baked into a crescent. You can still lick your fingers, but you won't have to wash as many shirts! This was a finalist recipe in Bake-Off #24.
Top Review by MandeeO
These were SO GOOD! I only had about 1/4 cup ketchup but I had some honey BBQ sauce on hand so I used that to make 1/2 cup and they were good anyway! But beware these babies are HOT when you get them out of the oven! My 2-1/2 year old burned his tongue on them, I ended up cutting his in bites and letting him eat it with a fork but he still loved it!

Ranch House
A uniquely American invention, the twentieth-century Ranch House first became an integral part of the building vocabulary of the American housing market after World War II, when America's demand for single-family housing was reaching overwhelmingly high levels. Though by the 1960s popular taste had moved on to embrace other types and styles of house, by the time it did, American architects, builders, and developers had so exhaustively and effectively promoted the Ranch House that it had come to be one of the most dominant architectural forms of the suburband landscape of the nation. From Los Angeles to Houston to Fort Lauderdale, there are entire communities where Ranch is the only architecture. Today, there is a resurgence of internest in the Ranch House, and a new generation of homebuyers is discovering its allure. For them and for the many thousands of homeowners who've long known of the Ranch's charm and architectural integrity comes this ultimate look at the Ranch House.
Alan Hess, one of the country's foremost authorities on the twentieth-century American home, carefully traces the nearly 75-year evolution of the Ranch House before leading a tour of more than 25 iconic Ranch House dwellings, each of which demonstrates how the Ranch House continues to cater to the needs of the modern family.
Frequently characterized by an L- or U-shape floor plan positioned around an outdoor patio area, the twentieth century Ranch House is a descendant of the huumble, utilitarian working-ranch house of nineteenth-century America. The latter's characteristic horizontal form, unpainted board-and-batten facade, broad eaves, and exposed rafter ends, among other features, were appropriated in the early part of the twentieth century by pioneering architects who found in the indigenous architecture of rural America the inspiration for a new kind of house for a changed nation, a nation that was, incidentally, fast becoming seduced by mass media-promoted notions of the American West and its cowboy culture.
The alluring rustic architectural features of the nineteenth-century working-ranch house were merged with a ten emerging modern open-plan spatial configuration and the very latest in building technologies and modern conveniences for the home. The Ranch House caught on fast as a concept and would itself become a powerful symbol of the Western myth through its eventual endorsement by popular figures of the West such as Ronald Reagan. The Ranch House was warm and inviting, a symbol of relaxed living. For thousands of Americans, it worked beautifully. Today, the author argues, it still does.
The Ranch House architecture presented here includes buildings that one would expect to find in a serious study such as this, iconic houses in the Ranch idiom (or in a regional idiom that deeply influenced Ranch or borrowed from it) by Californians Cliff May, William Wurster, Lutah Maria Riggs, and Harwell Harris, and by Texans O'Neil Ford, David R. Williams, and Lucian Hood, Jr. Also present is a range of houses by highly influential builder-developers such as John F. Long, David Bohannon, Kaiser Community Homes, and American Community Builders. With revealing period photographs and nearly 200 photographs taken specially for this book, The Ranch House is a riveting visual journey through the past century of home-building in America, a book that is sure to be received as the definitive study of its subject.

I bought this book for inspiration and to learn more about the ranch house style for purposes of remodeling and decorating my own ranch style home. The book provides a complete history of the ranch style home and architects who designed them, along with beautiful photographs of the many examples covered in the text. I was amazed to learn how many different styles and looks a ranch house can have. It has some nice surprises too, including examples of a few celebrity ranch homes. I recommend this book to anyone interested in learning more about the ranch house history and styles, especially if you are looking for inspiration to remodel or decorate a ranch house. It is the best source I've found on the subject.

A brand new razor maker has just burst upon the scene. Paradigm Shave Ware, based out of New York, has designed a stunning new titanium razor.
We received a razor to test out and you can color us impressed. Weighing in at only 70g, the machining is immaculate and the tolerances are tight. It is a very efficient yet also very smooth shaver with noticeable audible feedback. In my very first use, I achieved a BBS shave with only two passes and minor touch up. This razor is a keeper.
We were so impressed with the razor that we negotiated a deal to be the exclusive dealer of these razors. We hope to have stock in about 30 days. Follow us on Instagram for updates.
Edit: The razors have arrived. Grab one while they last.

Donald Trump's allies in the media and Congress take a large measure of comfort that the testimony of Sally Yates did not produce conclusive proof of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russian attempts to sabotage our electoral process.
How low have we fallen? Is it not enough that Trump's national security adviser was a major security risk, that he lied to the vice president and remained in place for 18 days before any action to mitigate his potential damage to our national interest was taken? This is bad governance at best.
Yet Trump supporters are correct and they can celebrate that the Trump administration has only been shown to be broadly incompetent and that outright betrayal has not yet been proven.
