Last game you finished, tell us about it

Deus Ex: Human revolution
Before we start, I should tell you that I was one of those who found the first Deus Ex to be a bit overrated. Not bad, mind you, just not worth all the hype. I found that System Shock 2 did the statbased shooter better, and the stealth mechanics of Deus Ex was clumsy, in part due to enemies being a bit inconsistent in when they could spot you and when they could not. Deus ex 2 was just uninteresting and rather boring.
Deus Ex: Human revolution takes place a few years before the first Deus Ex, when human augmentation (as they call it, basically advanced cybernetics) has reached a point where it divides people into two camps, those who are pro-augmentation, who think that it is the natural next step for humanity, and those who are against it, who claim that augmentations will ruin us of our humanity. You are one of those augmented people, who after an attack on the lab that you were working in gets some of the most advanced cybernetics ever created. After 6 months of recovery, your company gets attacked again, and you get called into duty. From here you have to find out what happened, who did this, why they did this and of course do something about it. Things are never that easy, and anyone who played the original Deus Ex knows what to expect.
The graphics in this game looks quite good, even on a weaker system. Some of the animations can seem a bit off, which is more obvious during the many dialogue sequences. The game has a very consistent art style, one that really fits the setting as a whole, and even though you get to travel to several different places around the world, it still manages to feel coherent. It does at places clash a bit with the artistic style of Deus Ex 1, though as that takes place 30 years into the future, that is to be expected. One thing that does seem a bit odd is how cybernetics is portrayed though, it feels more sleek & streamlined in Human Revolution, even though it is supposed to be far more primitive.
Most sound effects work well, and the voice acting is surprisingly good. Most of the characters feel believable and have voices that works well for them. Generic NPCs have voices that repeats a bit too often, but that is a minor issue. Much like in Vampire the masquerade: Bloodlines there are radios & TVs scattered around the world, which fills you in on certain peoples view on the events that transpires, from the more serious news report, to conspiracy nuts on the radio. These added a nice touch, and were quite entertaining to listen to (in particular some of the more outlandish conspiracy theories, which sounded like something straight out of a youtube conspiracy video)
This is where Deus Ex HR shines. The stealth mechanics works really well in this game, you can easily figure out how well hidden you are, and if you run the risk of being spotted. The game actively encourages you to use stealth, as it gives you more experience for a stealthy takedown (to get the most, you should get up close and personal with the enemy, knocking them out in melee) . The gunplay felt like it worked well, though I only ever used it during the bosses, as I played through the game without killing a single non-boss enemy.
The level design was quite open, offering many different paths to most locations. It was not uncommon for me to find two different entry points from the outside, then enter the location, and once on the inside find 3 more possible points of entry. And the game actively rewards exploration, giving you both experience and a few goodies to pick up for taking the less obvious rout. This was probably a good design choice, as it emphasis stealth and mind over pure gunplay, which probably helped quite a few people to play the game as intended, instead of just as a decent shooter.
There is also a hacking minigame, which sees heavy use during the game. At first glance it might look like it is a lot to do in it, but in reality it is rather simple, and to a large degree luck based. Not the best part of the game, but still one of the better hacking minigames that I've seen to date.
As you gain experience, you are allowed to level up different abilities. There is a good variety of abilities, some focused on hacking, some on stealth, some on dealing damage, and a few oddball ones, like the ability to break down walls, or jump really high. Sadly the balance between these did not seem all that great. A few were incredibly useful, like the ones preventing detection while hacking, while some were less useful, like the ability to ignore flashbangs. There was even a totally pointless tree, which felt like something that they forgot to take out after doing some changes to the hacking minigame.
The bad
We have all heard about the bosses. They stink. At least there are not a whole lot of them, but they just don't fit into the game at all. At least they were not very hard, even if you had not spent any points in combat augmentations (I don't see why some reviewers complained about how their lack of proper augmentations made these nigh impossible, I died twice against the first boss, and not a single time during any of the following bosses).
The game also showers you with experience points, which makes augmentation choices less more a question on "when" than "if". By the end of the game, I had all augmentation options that seemed useful, almost all that seemed to have some use, and even some that seemed totally useless (and they were actually totally useless). This watered down the experience a tad bit, but it was not a gamebreaker.
Overall, I was quite impressed by this game. The story was interesting, the stealth mechanics worked really well (though I would have preferred leaning to the cover mechanics) and the level design was very good. The game had a few minor issues, but nothing that seriously detracted from the experience. Overall I think that this game was superior to the original Deus Ex, but a surprisingly wide margin. Now let's hope that they are as good to Thief.

TDE's President Punch Releases the track "Untitled"
Even TDE's staff got bars.
Top Dawg Entertainment is better known for the likes of Kendrick Lamar, Ab-Soul, ScHoolboy Q, and Jay Rock, but there are some folks behind the scenes that can hang with the artists who are the face of the label. Such is the case with Punch, the President of TDE. He proves that he can keep up with the best of them with his new track "Untitled," which showcases the fact that he has a voice just as unique as the big name artists on the label.
The track features hard-hitting drums, which mesh well with the cinematic horn loop. Punch drops a bunch of gems over the production, even breaking down the "kill or be killed" mentality that most rough neighborhoods worldwide still possess.
Check out Punch's track "Untitled" below.

Time to get running
The London Marathon takes place later this month and I, like millions of others, will watch in wonderment as the runners push themselves beyond normal limits to complete the 26 mile, 385 yard distance, spurred on to achieve their personal bests or raise money for their chosen charities.
Undeniably, marathon training and the event itself is extreme and causes tremendous strain on the body, beyond the physical capabilities of many recreational runners.
Reassuringly, you don't have to run a marathon to reap the rewards of this excellent form of exercise. Even running short distances increases stamina and burns calories. It improves blood circulation efficiency as well as reducing the risks of angina, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes and strokes.
Being a weight-bearing exercise, it builds bone strength too, reducing the risk of osteoporosis as we age.
Best of all perhaps, it releases endorphins, those happy hormones that produce feelings of euphoria and relaxation which help decrease stress levels and encourage a good night's sleep.
So there's every reason to take up running. Begin by walking for 10 minutes, gradually building up speed until you are able to walk briskly. Once achieved, begin jogging until you are out of breath, then walk. When you're breathing steadily again, resume jogging and repeat this until you are able to run continuously.
You are then ready to extend running time by five minutes a day until you can run non-stop for 20-30 minutes. Remember to warm-up, cool-down and stretch too.
For good technique, run with shoulders down, arms relaxed and lean slightly forward from the hips. Ensure you invest in the correct footwear to help protect your joints.
Very overweight people can begin with shallow-water walking to support bodyweight and as fitness improves, progress to water-running before starting on a treadmill or outside.
Sadly, the high-impact nature of running means those with inflammatory conditions, such as rheumatoid arthritis or anyone with pre-existing joint conditions should avoid it.
Always consult your doctor before starting an exercise programme.

Single Stream Recycling
Recycling today is much simpler, now that it is Single Stream, because no sorting is necessary. This means newspaper, cardboard, plastic, glass, etc. can all be placed together in your recycling bin. The Single Stream process is so advanced, that is can separate out each product and prepare for use as a new product. When we recycle common daily items, we are effectively eliminating the waste and conserving energy through conservation, saving on landfill space and creating jobs as recycled materials are collected, sorted, shipped and used to create new materials! Everyone wins with recycling!
As much as 40% of the waste we generate in our homes can be placed into our recycling bins. And now, every community in Niagara County is set up for curbside recycling. If you have a recycling bin or cart, you have all you need to participate…just fill it up with recyclables and put it at the curb.
Watch the following video about Modern Single Stream Recycling and hear Mike Weber of the Buffalo Sabres explain how you can make a difference by recycling!
Electronics Recycling
Residents seeking to dispose of electronics, such as Televisions, Computers, Gaming Consoles, DVD or VCR Players can no longer place them to the curb. Beginning January 1st, New York State has prohibited the collection of electronics by any solid waste hauler, and by 2015, it will be illegal to dispose of electronic waste in any landfill. Electronic devices contain many recyclable and recoverable materials, but also hazardous elements. To find a drop off location closest to you, use the Local Recycling Information page link.
What happens to items after they land in your bin? Go to the Beyond the Bin page.
Waste Reduction
Reducing your waste is perhaps the best waste management option. After all, if you are not creating it, it never has to be collected! Reducing waste can be pretty straightforward, like using more durable items such as cloth napkins, washable plates, reusable tote bags and travel mugs instead of non-durable materials (paper napkins and plates, plastic bags and disposable [paper or foam] cups).
Simply put, composting is taking organic stuff like clippings and vegetable skins and letting them rot. The best part, after a few months, is the nutrient rich material (called humus) that is created. Between 15-30% of waste generated in homes is organic in nature, and can be composted. Home composting can be pretty simple because there is no wrong way to do it; eventually everything will decompose. For more information on composting, please go to the Composting page.

[interview] NINA ARSENAULT: MOVING THROUGH THE PHASES OF LIFE
Art is a product and a process that expresses emotion or sentiment through various mediums such as song, painting, literature, photography, video or beyond. Some brave individuals choose their own body as their medium.
Nina Arsenault is one of these individuals.
She chats with The Conversationalist about the redesign of her body, the contradictions of life and her sentiments on making the world a better place.
The Conversationalist: Who is Nina Arsenault?
Nina Arsenault: Boy, girl, man, woman, performance artist, academic, educator, reality TV star, stripper, whore, nightlife hostess, storyteller, aesthete, art object, cyborg, icon, Barbie, fairy and actress.
What do you do?
I'm an artist. I do live performance, photography, writing and video. I think my works blurs the line between art and artist, character and actor, performance and reality.
At what point did you come to the realization that you wanted to publicize your personal transition?
In graduate school, when I began transitioning, I was taking a performance art course and the professor Yvonne Singer encouraged me to document everything that I was going through. She told me to take photos and video as well as to keep a journal. She told me that I wouldn't be able to anticipate how I would use the work later. She reminded me that when you're inside the intensity of a huge experience like that you don't know what you will need to express about it afterwards.
Wow, the transition photos must be like gold to you now. So have you completed the redesign of your body?
My body will continue to age and change. I'll have to decide as I go along what to accept and what to change. I am interested in seeing how I can age in the healthiest way possible. And also how I can look my best as I move through the different phases of life. I love Madonna's body.
What advice do you have for others who are considering turning their physical bodies into literal expressions of art?
I lived a very marginalized life as a non-passable transsexual at the turn of the millennium in Toronto. I knew that by becoming more plastic I wouldn't really isolate myself further in society. I knew I was smart, very creative and extremely disciplined. I was willing to devote my life to aesthetics, to beauty, whatever the cost. I was willing to sacrifice my life for beauty if need be.
Can you not, please? We want you around for a while. Okay? On your Facebook profile, it has you listed as "In a Relationship." What does it take to date Nina Arsenault?
There are many things about my personal life that I create art about, but my relationship with my boyfriend is just for us.
Fair enough. You have said, however, that you consider Facebook and YouTube as part of your art practice, can you elaborate on that?
There was a time when I wasn't being offered any opportunities to have my work produced. I wasn't being taken as seriously as an artist as I wanted, but I need to keep expressing myself. Facebook and YouTube meant almost anyone, even a transsexual prostitute, could create and disseminate photography, writing and video. People noticed my stuff and kept coming back to see what I was doing. It was very inspiring and built my confidence. Artistic institutions started to notice me as well and then they wanted to work with me. These forums of communication are only superficial and silly if you treat them as such.
Hey, this Facebook-whore agrees with you! So who are your icons?
Madonna, Frida Khalo, Spalding Gray, Martha Graham, Jessica Rabbit, Andy Warhol, Barbie, Morgan Le Fay, Heiner Mueller, Bette Davis, Marina Ambromovic, Cindy Sherman, David Lynch and Lars Von Trier.
I sense that you are a woman who is fascinated by contradiction. What sort of contradictions are you observing collectively? Internally?
A contradiction I deal with now a lot is my relationship with glamour and asceticism. My work explores the reality and illusions of beauty, yet to continue with my schedule is very physically and emotionally rigorous. It demands of me a lifestyle that feels monk like. I workout. I have writing deadlines. I do my make-up. I go to skin treatments. I am constantly training as an actor. I diet very carefully. I rehearse. I coordinate my publicity. I do my stage plays. I am planning a long form video. I am devoted to a serious artistic exploration of inner and outer beauty. There is a lot of glamour in my work, but on the other hand I live like a devoted nun to achieve it. My art is my spiritual work.
Well you're the hottest darn nun around, I can promise you that. Continuing along this line of thought, who is Nina Arsenault as a spiritual being?
I am very interested in mythology. I love the stories, and I believe there is much ancient knowledge in these archetypal narratives. Every one of us lives a series of stories, the different phases of our lives. I feel as if I have had many lives in this one life already. My spirituality is about trying to figure out which archetypal myth I am living at each phase. At different points in my life I have identified with mythological stories of Circe, Aphrodite, Morgan Le Fay, Narcissus, Artemis as well as some Egyptian goddesses. I see similarities between my life events and some of these myths. I think anyone will find similarities to mythology in their lives if they know the stories. Once I sense which story I am living then I try and decide how I want my version of that story to unfold. This elates my spirit. I feel like I am living the life my spirit wants to lead me through. This to me is the power of myth and of storytelling.
You state unapologetically that your work does not exist to make the world a better place. Yet is there a responsibility to help others navigate their own gender-based questioning?
My responsibility as an artist is to express my truth.

September 24, 2010 12:00 PM
I first saw "la Nina" on the TV reality series Kink and always wondered what drove someone like her to go beyond branding herself to making herself an actual product. Is it ego, obsession or anger?
I often wonder if people who sculpt their bodies into something completely different than what they were born into (Heidi Montag, Michael Jackson) are doing it to reflect who they really think they are or an image of who they want to be.
This goes beyond the usual transsexual case where someone corrects a biological mistake. She says she would sacrifice her life for beauty – her beauty.
Compelling post. Thanks, Daniel.

I grew up in the outskirts of CLE myself, in the burbs of Middleburg Hts, Fry Road. My Grandparents lived downtown off of Clark Ave, and my other Grandparents off of Woburn by St. Mary's in Brooklyn. So guess we were West Siders. It was magic going to their house at Christmas and for some reason both Grandparents, and probably every Italian household, had an aluminum Christmas Tree with the 4 colored lights rotating on it. That was back in the 60s, but I still remember it vividly. Little did I now that the mountain of gifts were all cigarettes and booze from one gomba to another, ha, ha! I never really visited the east side until after joining the Air Force and leaving Cleveland for a 28 year vacation around the world. Now I come home 2 or 3 times, and plan to retire there. Who wouldn't :). I really enjoy Nighttown, the public library, the Arcade, and other aspects of the East side. But East or West, Cleveland is Best!
Most of these are excellent!!!!!! But really...We don't rock that well, Just listen to our radio stations...SAME music EVERY DAY! with NO VARIETY...Now that the Wave is back we all can put away our Prozac and Lithium because 107.3 will surely dull our senses now...
We have a MOST EXCELLENT free weekly news, culture and arts mag that now gets delivered in Old Brooklyn!!!!
THAT is a good 'effin list!!!!!
No mention of the West Side Market? Yeah it's getting a lot of press, why do you suppose that?? IT'S THAT GOOD!!!!!! Well you missed so many other places and shops that it leads me to think the origin of this puff piece was generated by revenue...
C-town--dumb nickname btw....
Lackluster...Sorry, just sayin'....'MMS whoring themselves out for votes back in the day and not to mention atrocious terrestrial radio?
Yeah...Not buying it...
Guess where I live?!!
The one thing big everywhere in 2012 is that the OWS message has started (09-17-11), and it looks as if it is here to stay. Like the civil rights movement but not as painful for the protesters, we are living in a revolutionary (hopefully peaceful) period of American and World History. 'Keep your eys wide'
Two hours before the beginning of the Big Book for 2012. Now that we know that the telescope people do not see an end in sight this 2012, we can focus on hanging around for a while longer.
My mom grew up on East 130th back in the 50's and My Uncle lived there up on North Taylor Rd all the way up to the 90's. He lived his whole life there and we were always going out to the East Side. I loved going with my mom out there, it was awesome,still have cousins in Mayfield Hts. My dad was from the west side West 130th is where he grew up and moved to Cleminshaw and attended John Marshall before joining the Marines. When they married and my mom had my sister Cheryl,my grandparents moved to Lakewood and we meshed lives betwen the East Side and West Side as my Grandma's sister lived out off of North Taylor in Cleveland Hts. I am proud to know both sides and thanks to my Unlce John,he has kept the 2 sides together. I would have to write a book about my experience if anyone cares to read. It will be called A Girl named Sue in honor of Johnny Cash and should be available when I get my life back as I am raising a 10 and 14 yr old and am 50 working at Continental Airlines full time and then some. Living in Strongsville right now where John D Rockefeller grew up and loving life here on the West Side. Sue Mazzone Strongsville

Galaxy Note 3 Vs. LG G Pro 2: Spec by Spec Comparison
LG recently launched its G Pro 2 handset which functions as a competitor for the Samsung Galaxy Note 3.
This new device features impressive specs that rival Samsung's high-end phablet in many ways and offers an experience that is quite comparable. The Note 3 still holds up pretty well against most new devices launched in 2014, however, the LG G Pro 2 could be the first one to give it a run for its money. So how do these two handsets stack up against one another? Here is a brief spec by spec comparison of both smartphones.
The screen is one of the most integral parts of the Galaxy Note 3 as Samsung crafted one of the finest the market has ever seen for the device. The Note 3 packs a 5.7-inch Super AMOLED display with 1920 x1080 resolution at 386 ppi while the new LG G Pro 2 comes with a IPS LCD 5.9-inch screen with the same resolution at 373 ppi. The lower number can be attributed to the larger screen on the G Pro 2. These two handsets seem to be dead even in this department when it comes to the figures.
The LG G Pro 2 features a plastic design that is similar to Samsung's. The Galaxy Note 3 introduced a new leather-like plastic material for its back plate that has been a big hit thus far. It gives the device a classier look and feel overall and pleased the masses who were complaining about Samsung's missteps in the design department. LG's design is more basic, which grants Samsung the win in this area.
This is another department where each of these devices seems to be dead even as the LG G Pro 2 and Galaxy Note 3 both come with a Snapdragon 800 chip and 3GB RAM. This easily sets them ahead of the pack in terms of power and speed and keeps them neck and neck with one another. The international version of the Galaxy Note 3 might give Samsung a small advantage as it packs the company's Exynos 5 Octa-core chip.
The LG G Pro features a 13-megapixel rear camera that comes with LED flash, optical image stabilization, burst mode, and geo-tagging. It can shoot pictures up to 3840 x 2160 resolution. The Galaxy Note 3 also has a 13-megapixel camera that can take pictures at 4128 x 3096. It comes with LED flash, autofocus, Dual Shot, Simultaneous HD video and image recording, and much more. The camera on the Note 3 has more to offer in general, giving it the advantage with the camera.
Both the Galaxy Note 3 and LG G Pro 2 are powerhouses in their own right. But it seems that Samsung slightly beats out the G Pro 2 in most departments. LG certainly wants to take a chunk of the market with its new device, but will almost identical specs be enough to get consumers interested? It also will help that the Note 3 is an older device, which means it will be cheaper to purchase at this point giving it yet another advantage.

Stoke City plot summer swoop for in-form France striker Andre-Pierre Gignac
Stoke City are lining up a summer swoop for Tigres striker Andre-Pierre Gignac, according to reports in France.
The France international only moved to the Mexican side last summer after his contract with Marseille expired.
Since making the move, the 30-year-old has been in fine form this season, scoring 28 goals in 37 games.
That, according to Le 10 sport, has sparked interest from Stoke and they are putting the wheels in motion for a summer move.
Tigres want to keep hold of their star forward, but he does reportedly have a £20million release-clause within his contract.

CBS Sports | Josh Katzowitz
LOS ANGELES – Just because we haven't talked much lately about the NFL possibly moving to Los Angeles, that doesn't mean commissioner Roger Goodell has forgotten about it. That's evident by what we see here in this L.A. Times report about a memo sent out by Goodell for franchises who possibly are considering making the move west (or, in the Chargers case, north).
"Although substantial uncertainties remain," Goodell wrote in the two-page document that was sent to all 32 teams, "stadium development in Los Angeles has advanced to the point where the prospects for a new facility are better than they have been in many years."

LONDON (Reuters) - Demand for housing in Britain rose to its highest level in nearly 3-1/2 years in April, helped by a new government scheme to boost the sector, and a measure of prices notched its first gain since mid-2010, a monthly survey showed on Tuesday.
The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) said 25 percent more chartered surveyors reported new buyer enquiries rose rather than fell last month, up from an increase of 13 percent in March.
The rise suggested that the new Help to Buy programme was stoking interest in home-buying even if a key component of the programme - government guarantees for risky mortgages - is only due to come into effect next year, RICS said.
The RICS said its seasonally adjusted house price balance rose for the first time since June 2010, albeit only marginally at +1, as the number of homeowners putting their homes on the market rose less quickly than demand.
Economists had expected a price reading of +2.
Peter Bolton King, RICS global residential director, said it was encouraging that Help to Buy, along with other measures to spur lending, was helping the market and that sales would probably pick up in coming months, albeit from low levels.
"However there are some understandable concerns that the measures will also lead to higher prices. In view of this, it is critical that developers are as good as their word and speed up the delivery of new stock," he said.
Other measures of the British housing market have seen an increase in prices recently. Lender Halifax said last week that prices increased 1.1 percent in April from March, the strongest growth since November.
Chancellor George Osborne announced the Help to Buy programme in March as the government's latest programme to support the housing sector.
Under the plan, the government committed 3.5 billion pounds over the next three years to shared equity loans for new-build homes, allowing buyers to purchase them with a 5 percent deposit. It will also guarantee 130 billion pounds of mortgages from 2014 for three years, allowing banks to provide more loans to people without big deposits.
Critics have said the plan risked pushing up house prices without spurring more construction.

The company that created a prepaid debit card endorsed by the Kardashian sisters is suing the trio for pulling out of the deal under criticism over the card's fees.
The Fresno Bee reports that Fresno-based Revenue Resource Group LLC filed suit in Fresno County Superior Court last week against Kim, Khloe and Kourtney. The suit claims the sisters broke their contract and cost company at least $75 million in losses.
The sisters' mother, Kris Kardashian Jenner, and their company, Dash Dolls LLC, are also named in the suit.
The three cut ties to the card in November three weeks after the product launched following a warning from Connecticut Attorney General Richard Blumenthal that the card's fees were "predatory."

Day care sites in Northeast Georgia were a little more crowded on Monday as schools across the region closed their doors in response to fuel-saving measures directed by Georgia Gov. Sonny Perdue.

Monday was the first of two days that all but three of Georgia's school districts agreed to close to conserve gasoline; Perdue had asked school administrators on Friday afternoon to consider the closings.
The last-minute decision had many schools scrambling to inform students about the unexpected days off and day care centers trying to find extra volunteers or shift schedules to ensure there were enough workers during the day. Generally, the centers are more heavily staffed in the afternoons, when they run after-school programs.
"I had to call my boss today and take the day off," said Cherene Williams at the Boys and Girls Club in the Jack R. Wells Center at Pauldoe Homes.
Williams, who works on-air at the radio station WXAG-AM (1470), asked for the day off to help run the Boys and Girls Club at the center, where about 47 area children spent at least part of the day Friday. The center expects more children to show up for the second "snow day" today, she said.
Many community programs had difficulty with staffing because University of Georgia students make up a portion of their volunteers. The university authorized two extra days of leave for its employees to save fuel and help employees who had to deal with school closings, but classes were held as usual on Monday.

Alyssa Rucker, 6, runs past the outside of the Jack R. Wells Boys and Girls Club building Monday. Site director Cherene Williams said the school closures weren't warranted. "We should save gas by cutting down on cars, not buses," she said.
Most of the volunteers at the Athens YMCA are UGA students, and the organization wasn't able to coordinate child-care activities for Monday, youth director Shea Wilson said.
The YMCA was able to organize activities for today, and children can be dropped off beginning at 8 a.m. They should bring a swimsuit, towel and lunch, Wilson said.
"It was kind of crazy," said Rhonda Alewine-Coyne, director of Happy Kids Day Care in Hull. "We had to call all of the parents who have children in our pre-kindergarten program and let them know we would have to cancel pre-K - and then more than half of our pre-K students are in the after-school program, so they ended up coming, anyway."
In addition to children who usually attend the daycare's after-school program - who came for the entire day, instead - more than 20 other children attended Happy Kids on Monday. Workers tried to prepare some lessons for children, putting together plans over the weekend, Alewine-Coyne said.
Childcare Network in Athens also accepted more than 20 additional children Monday, some from the center's after-school program and some who attend over the summer and on school holidays, as well as some of the pre-K students, assistant director Yvonee Walter said.
"Our main calls were just people wondering if we were open," she said.

Terry Robinson, 8, lines up a shot while "Snoop" Borders, 7, chalks his stick during a game of pool at the Jack R. Wells Boys and Girls Club during the day on Monday. The center opened Monday at 10 a.m. and had about 25 children in attendance. The center usually is open only after school.
Although President Bush praised Perdue for the plan, some parents, school officials and government representatives criticized the decision to close schools for two days, particularly when gas prices moved little because Hurricane Rita caused less damage to Texas oil refineries than had been anticipated.
All but three school systems in Georgia - Floyd County, Rome City and Thomasville City - had said they would close for the two days, which were labeled "early snow days." In most cases, not only schools but central offices were closed.
The Georgia High School Writing Test - one of five subject tests that high school students must pass to graduate - was scheduled to be given today and Wednesday but was pushed back to Thursday. The state Department of Education also postponed some training sessions on the Georgia Performance Standards, the state's new curriculum that's still being developed.
The governor's office estimated that school districts across the state will save more than 225,000 gallons of diesel fuel per day by closing Monday and today.

Cary Elwes has long been developing Elvis & Nixon has his directorial debut - a project about the famous meeting between The King and the president - but now it looks as though a different music-themed project could potentially be taking its place. The actor best known for playing Westley in Rob Reiner's The Princess Bride has signed a deal to direct an upcoming biopic about Kit Lambert, the famed manager of The Who.
THR says that the script has been written by Pat Gilbert and after letting Pete Townsend and Roger Daltrey read it they agreed to assist the project with "biographical details" and will also contribute to the movie's soundtrack. During his career Lambert was credited with inspiring the English band to try working with a more experimental sound, which in turn led to the creation of the rock opera Tommy. In addition to The Who, the manager/record producer was also associated with Jimi Hendrix and lived the rock and roll lifestyle along with his clients. He died at the age of 45 when he fell down a flight of stairs at his mother's house and had a cerebral hemorrhage. Production is looking to begin towards the end of May next year.
Sadly Elvis & Nixon isn't even mentioned. Last we heard Eric Bana was dropping off of the project (having been attached to play Presley, but it still has Danny Huston playing Tricky Dick and Luke Wilson as part of its cast. We'll just have to wait and see if time determines its fate.

Growth without normal capacity utilization
Within the demand-led approach to growth, the long-period tendencies of quantities cannot be effectively studied through theoretical positions entailing normal utilization of capacity. Whether in the form of constant or of average normal utilization, this assumption contradicts the supposed autonomy of aggregate demand. Analysis of the operation of the adjustment of capacity to demand suggests that potentially offsetting forces make fully adjusted positions irrelevant. As quantities cannot be assumed to gravitate towards such positions, the relations between quantity variables determined on the normal utilization hypothesis provide a poor guide to the analysis of reality.

WHile doing so, my belly touched the edge of the hot skillet. It caused a 2 inch red blister on my belly. I put an ice pack over it which calmed down the "stinging" feeling and the blister went down a lot. Will the burn affect my baby? Should I be overly worried? Should I contact my doctor? The ice pack has stopped the "burning" feeling and the area is not as red anymore. I still feel my baby moving about as usual.

Lily, I feel for you. Burning is not fun.
Your baby is pretty well protected from heat or cold outside your body. There are several layers of skin, tissue and water between the outside and the baby.
Make sure it does not get infected though!
Best of luck with the rest of your pregnancy!!

pure virtual function called under gcc -O2
|Reported by:
|Owned by:
|Eric Niebler
|Boost 1.38.0
|Boost 1.37.0
The following code results in a pure virtual function call under gcc-4.3.0 20080428 (red hat 4.3.0-8) with -O2 but not with -O1. The innermost non-error-handling stack frame gdb shows is
boost::xpressive::detail::end_matcher::match<gnu_cxx::normal_iterator<char const*, std::string>, boost::xpressive::detail::no_next>
at boost/xpressive/detail/core/flow_control.hpp:64.
--- #include <string> #include <boost/xpressive/xpressive_static.hpp> #include <boost/xpressive/regex_algorithms.hpp> using std::string; namespace xpr = boost::xpressive;
int main() {
string text = "at"; xpr::sregex r1 = xpr::as_xpr('a'),
xpr::regex_replace(text, r3, string("")); return 0;
} ---
The problem goes away if I do any one of these:
- switch the order of the alternation
- replace 'r1' in the definition of r3 with xpr::as_xpr('a')
- replace 'r2' in the definition of r3 with ('b' >> r1)
- match to a string not starting with 'a'
It does not go away if I do one of these:
Any ideas?
Thank you.

I can confirm this error with gcc-4.3 and gcc-4.2 but not gcc-4.1 or msvc-9.0. It seems likely to be a gcc optimization bug, but I don't have time to investigate right now. I'll get to it as time allows.

I've filed a gcc bug. Still looking for a work-around and can use the help of a very good gcc debugging guru.

My Son is in the Marines and has no issue with his funds but what gets me the most is to use our Miitary to scam people.
FYI I know lot of folks here have giving me some great advice. Here is mine.. Never deal with anyone who will not see the car themselves. Two no need your Paypal email address. If you ever have that is is a SCAM. No moneygram or Western Union or asking for your account information. If Cashier check place hold on any title transfer until it is cleared. If someone is really interested in your car they will have no problem with this.
Anyway that is my vent for the week thanks for everyone hearing me out!!

- I had a scammer "text" my cell phone telling me he wanted to buy my Van I had on craigslist wanted my information to send a "Bank check." I told him to call me...he continued to text me never really asking much about the VAN but more about how he wanted to do the transaction. I knew right away it was a scam when he never called me but continued to text only.
- Aug 9, 2012 at 10:01 pm
- I tried to sell my car in 2006 for $5500 and people were trying to talk me down. Can you believe that? Even with a cracked block I thought it would've been worth every penny of the $5500. Scammers SUCK!

JEREMY HOBSON: Now let's get to the stock market. As of this morning the Dow is up about 86 percent from the low it hit on March 9th, 2009. That's two years ago this week.
So we're pleased to be joined now live by economist Gary Schilling. He's with us from Springfield, New Jersey. Good morning, Gary.
GARY SCHILLING: Good morning.
HOBSON: So, how did we do that? How did we get up so high?
SCHILLING: With a lot of monetary and fiscal stimulus in response to the recession and the near meltdown of the financial market. Plus a rebound from a very very scary situation when a lot of people thought the financial sector here and abroad was going out of business.
HOBSON: And Gary, for ordinary Americans that are invested -- either directly or through their retirement -- If we've come up 86 percent since the low, does that mean that everything is OK, it never happened?
SCHILLING: Well, first of all, bare in mind that if you go down 50 percent, you've got to double -- you've got to go up 100 percent just to get even. And we're not back even yet with the peaks, but no, a lot of people bailed out at the bottom, they were really scared. They were cashing in their U.S. stock mutual funds, withdrawing money from them until really last December when they started to put money back in. And as a result, these people basically are still well behind. They rode the market down, bailed out at the bottom, and have not gotten back in until very recently, so a lot of post-war babies as a result are going to work longer than they thought because their 401-Ks have been destroyed.
HOBSON: Economist Gary Schilling, thanks so much.
SCHILLING: You're welcome.

EtherNet/IP: Ethernet for automation
In deploying industrial Ethernet, plant engineers and IT departments should use an Ethernet solution designed and established to connect across applications and from the end customer's IT infrastructure down to assets on the factory floor. EtherNet/IP delivers the real-time performance, resiliency, and security of proven, but technically mature, fieldbus solutions, with the bandwidth, open connectivity, and future-proof adaptability of standard Ethernet, ODVA explains.
In deploying industrial Ethernet, plant engineers and IT departments should look for an Ethernet solution designed and established to connect across applications and from the end customer's IT infrastructure all the way down to assets on the factory floor. Such a technology is EtherNet/IP. EtherNet/IP streamlines control and information flow and offers the best pathway to achieve a simple and unified network architecture, allowing the movement of data from assets to systems to process. EtherNet/IP delivers the real-time performance, resiliency, and security of proven, but technically mature, fieldbus solutions, while making available the bandwidth, open connectivity, and future-proof adaptability of standard Ethernet.
Compliant with standards
Because EtherNet/IP can be integrated with readily available, off-the-shelf media and complies with IEEE 802 and the TCP/UDP/IP suite of standards, IT professionals and engineers can collaborate easily to deploy and maintain security, reliability, and quality of service across the enterprise and throughout the plant floor. EtherNet/IP allows common network management tools to be used for industrial and enterprise networks, in combination with a diverse hardware environment that can include standard industrial products alongside IP cameras and telephony. As a result, users can take advantage of the ongoing advancements of standard Ethernet and TCP/IP technology, making EtherNet/IP a scalable, future-ready network architecture.
Cyber security advice
In addition, in today's all-connected business environment, manufacturers need to employ sound cyber security practices that include layered security and defense-in-depth strategies in the Ethernet network design. Specific measures such as industrial firewalls, strong authentication, intrusion detection/intrusion prevention systems, and end-point security software such as antivirus and antimalware software should also be used to help reduce security risks to industrial control systems.

Annual Salary Survey
Before the calendar turned, 2016 already had the makings of a pivotal year for manufacturing, and for the world.
There were the big events for the year, including the United States as Partner Country at Hannover Messe in April and the 2016 International Manufacturing Technology Show in Chicago in September. There's also the matter of the U.S. presidential elections in November, which promise to shape policy in manufacturing for years to come.
But the year started with global economic turmoil, as a slowdown in Chinese manufacturing triggered a worldwide stock hiccup that sent values plummeting. The continued plunge in world oil prices has resulted in a slowdown in exploration and, by extension, the manufacture of exploration equipment.

Hi! So my hair is a naturally ashy brownish blond color, I have been using box dye for about a year because of budget cuts. I want an exciting change, my hair is currently a dark brown, but as the color fades my hair takes to red very well, so it fades to an almost coppery chestnut color. I have a diamond shape face, and my complexion... I have freckles, but I am not fair skinned, more of yellow undertones than pink and I have light eyes that are blue green. I have always been tempted to do a red color (such as Kate Walsh's red), but have always been sketchy. What would the best hair color be for my skin type and what would be a fun way to spice it up from the usual brown so that I have a new kick to start the new year?! Thank you! Kelli
Hi Kelli, it sounds like you have a cool complexion (olive, slightly beige with yellow undertones) so any hair color that has a cool overtone will suit you. Examples of cool hair colors for you are ash browns and blondes, copper reds, light blondes (think platinum and strawberry blonde) or anything from a dark to a light violet if you're after something different. If you really want to know what will suit you then I recommended visiting a professional colorist who can confirm your skin tone in person and discuss with you the types of colors that will suit you. Good luck! Kind regards, Serah Schuster - THS Hair Consultant.

Bill Radke: The European Union has given the all-clear for a multibillion-dollar American acquisition. U.S. fund manager BlackRock will be allowed to buy a big chunk of assets from the major British bank Barclays. The deal will turn BlackRock into a world leader. From Marketplace's Europe Desk in London,
Stephen Beard has more.
Stephen Beard: Blackrock agreed to buy most of Barclays' investment unit back in June. Today the E.U.'s competition commission gave its blessing. Even though the new firm will be gigantic. It'll have $2.8 trillion worth of funds under its belt. That'll make it the world's biggest money manager.
For Blackrock, the economies of scale should be a major boon. And, says Jeff Goldfarb of the financial website Breaking Views, there are other benefits too:
Jeff Goldfarb: Barclays will stay in as a minority holder and there's the opportunity for Blackrock to access some of Barclays' customers, which is a huge advantage for them as well.
Blackrock, founded only 20 years ago, has profited handsomely from the financial crisis. Barclays was under pressure to sell its investment arm to bolster its balance sheet. And Blackrock is now earning big fees managing the toxic assets of Bear Stearns and AIG.
In London, this is Stephen Beard for Marketplace.

This Phil Collins' song was a very bad choice for Paige. She's all over the place and she is.....pitchy throughout. I'm reaching for the mute button.
Oh wow...that was just awful, Paige.
I like Paige and this is just bad on so many levels.
Sounds like she is still sick to me. Hell, she sounded better when she was sick.

Paige....?!!??? I'm embarrassed for her tonight. Wow, that was horrible!
Oh, the poor baby. This is just painful. She's going to listen back to this and just cringe. I don't even want to hear what the judges are going to say.
Count your blessings!
Poor Paige. Dear God, make it stop!!!!

LONDON (Reuters) - Gulfsands Petroleum has agreed with Syria that the government will resume payments to the company for oil, and it plans to continue operating there unless British or European Union sanctions make it illegal to do so, its president said.
The firm, which produces more than 90 percent of its total output from the troubled country, said last month it had not received payments for its August output.
"They advised us they will make a partial payment for our operating costs. They said they will pay us the rest if they can resume exports," Gulfsands President Mahdi Sajjad told Reuters on Thursday, adding that the government had skipped two months of oil payments.
He said that Damascus had pledged to resume full payments to international oil firms including Gulfsands once it resumes exports of oil.
The EU, which imports the bulk of Syria's oil, has placed sanctions on Syrian crude oil exports, leading to an unsustainable build in stocks. It was not immediately clear how Syria intends to start crude oil exports again.
Gulfsands, among other international companies with investments in Syria, have been asked by the government to make deep production cuts.
Sajjad said that Gulfsands' output was just 5,000 barrels per day (bpd), or around a fifth of normal levels.
But he said he expected the firm's operations to become easier now an agreement to resume payments had been reached.
"We have to stay. We have a contract and staff. Until the government tells us to get out, we are not going to get out," he said, referring to the EU and the UK governments.
Major oil firms Total and Royal Dutch Shell with investments in the Syrian oil sector have also been forced to cut production.
The European Union is mulling further sanctions on Syria's oil sector which could make it illegal for international firms to have investments there. No concrete proposal has yet emerged.
Syrian oil represents less than 1 percent of daily global production but accounts for a vital portion of Syrian government earnings, which Western powers say could be used by President Bashar al-Assad for military action against the opposition.
More than 3,500 people have been killed in the crackdown on protesters, the United Nations said earlier this month.
Sajjad said that further sanctions on Syria would not be effective as Syrian oil firms could easily take over the operations of international companies.
"They will just go on and produce it themselves if sanctions come in," he said.
Opponents of the Syrian government have targeted oil infrastructure using improvised explosive devices in an apparent attempt to debilitate the key industry.
Sajjad said this has been a problem for at least one other oil company in Syria but it had not affected Gulfsands' operations.
"Our facilities are in the middle of the Kurdish area, and the Kurds seem happy," he said.
Gulfsands is the operator of the block 26 Production Sharing Contract in northeastern Syria.

I'm sorry that you had a drop in your credit report. To answer you question, you should answer a question first. What changed? The answer is not "nothing". Something changed. Review your accounts, which one is newly added. Which one did you add in the past 60 days, that just showed up. Check your inquiries what credit was applied for, this includes which creditors you asked for a credit line increase. Look at your utilization as well as the date reported by a creditor. Did you utilization skyrocket or did it drop to 0%. Yes, even 0% can affect your credit. Any percent between 1 and 10 is better than 0%. It shows credit usage, 0% with 0 balance does not show credit usage. Look at your older closed accounts. Which one disappeared? You will want to look at your credit report over the past 30-60 days for these comarisons. Your current score was a snapshot of the day of the pull from the bureau and you'll need to be able to see the history over time.

I have a young friend, Robin, who helps us figure out computer (and other electronic) problems that we are too old and feeble to figure out ourselves. To thank her, I give her things I make to either keep, or to use as gifts.
I made these for her 2 little nieces.
The buttons were made by my daughter when she used to hand-paint buttons.
