Hello! I'm Tom. I designed a game called Gunpoint, about rewiring things and punching people, and now I'm working on a new one called Heat Signature, about sneaking aboard randomly generated spaceships. Here's some more info on all the games I've worked on, here's the podcast I do, here are the videos I make on YouTube, here are some of the articles I wrote for PC Gamer, and here are two short stories I wrote for the Machine of Death collections.
By me. Uses Adaptive Images by Matt Wilcox.
The Basics
Massively single-player first-person RPG – a huge and freely explorable fantasy world, hundreds of quests, of which the main plot line – the longest game I have ever played – accounts for less than half. You can be stealthy, fighty, magicky or any combination thereof, you can join guilds, go anywhere, kill anyone and anything and – importantly – take its clothes and anything else it might have had. Combat is real-time, and requires nimble fingers to jump around, dodge and aim. Skills level up the more you use them, rather than by assigning stat points, so you become the character you're trying to be.
The Appeal
RPGs ought to be the best games in the world, but virtually all of them have achingly dull combat and insist on a third-person view. The Elder Scrolls series has been chugging merrily down the lineage set out by Ultima Underworld, and with each iteration, more people say "Hey, that looks way better than the frustrating and unengaging rubbish we consider good!" Morrowind was when the series moved to what we recognise today as a true 3D engine – 3D accelerated, everything made of polygons. It's about being in an RPG world for pretty much the first time – physically hitting monsters with a sword to hurt them, having to aim your fireballs like an FPS. Climbing mountains that even the developers don't know are climbable. Stumbling upon a wooden door set into the rock, going inside and finding a smuggler's hide-out with bodies, diaries and a story to be deduced. Short answer: it's first person.
The Essential Experience
Filling out a form. It's a clever conceit for character creation – the Census And Excise Office asks you to fill out your personal details for their records. The magic of the moment, though, is threefold: a) the music – the perfect fantasy theme tune, full of grandiose scale, promise and magic, b) the sheer range of options, even before you get to choosing skills and abilities – there are thirteen races, and c) seeing the world for the first time – you've just come out of a prison ship, so you get the three-hit combo of the lovely water effects, a giant tick standing in the lovely water effects, and the unearthly noise the giant tick standing in the lovely water effects makes.
DemonDoll: I want to point out that I respect this game above all others for not feeling the need to hold your hand. It's bastard-child Oblivion went backwards in this regard but in Morrowind you could run like the wind and leap over mountains without cheat codes. If you're dedicated you can make a 100% Chameleon set which makes your character !UNTARGETABLE!. There are virtually no games in existence which place no caps on the player. If you can drink a potion of +10 Intelligence, then you can drink 100 of them for +1000 Intelligence. There are just no arbitrary limits where the game tells you that you've had enough fun and it's time to stop now. At the same time the combat was rather boring and I couldn't slug through the whole thing (trying to do everything, of course, not the main quest).

CodePlexProject Hosting for Open Source Software
Hello SaphuA,
I have a problem with the new version of AutoLoL. It used to work fine with the 1.3 version as I could uncheck the "automatically return points" box, but since this feature has been removed in this version I keep encountering the same bug.
Most of the time when AutoLoL attempts to return the points, my mouse gets stuck for a few seconds where the window with "Are you sure you want to re-spec yo Masteries?" appears. After the long pause where I cannot move my mouse, AutoLoL then
gives me a message saying "Error. The Masteries window could not be detected, please make sure that the masteries window is open either in your Profile or in Champion Select."
I am not sure why I keep getting this problem; the same bug was also in 1.3 but I could avoid it by not automatically returning my points.
Thank you very much,
Hello Kenji,
This has been solved in v1.4.1 by allowing the user to manually return their masteries.
I'm assuming you do not have the English client (since it should just work normally there).
Thanks for your reply. :) I'm not sure how I missed the new version lol, sorry. But it's strange because I'm using the English client, not the German one.

Airborne & Intelligence Systems - EWISR & Border Security
100 North Babcock St.
Melbourne, FL 32935
The DRS CAS-5200 Very High Frequency/Ultra High Frequency (VHF/UHF) Radio Frequency Distribution (RFD) System provides the interface between antenna RF outputs and two separate Signal Intelligence (SIGINT) systems (a DF sub-system and a third-party analysis sub-system) used in the CAS-5000 system.
The RFD supports 12 parallel channel RF signal conditioning modules and one "hot spare" module that can be used by either system attached to the RFD. Each signal conditioning module selects the appropriate antenna input and conditions the selected signal so as to maximize the dynamic range realized by the attached SIGINT system.
Each signal conditioning module consists of an RF switch assembly, a high dynamic range low-noise RF amplifier, which may be bypassed, an RF limiter and a switched RF attenuator. Each module is capable of supporting up to 5 inputs.
The RFD has been designed for maximum flexibility. It has a DO-160D compliant power supply usable in both ground and airborne applications (50 to 440 Hz; 90 to 240 VAC). It also has a Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) based controller that accepts both serial and Ethernet based commands. The RFD was designed using modularized components that are fully compliant in the most demanding environments. Particular attention has been made to maximize shielding within the unit to preserve signal integrity.
The RFD also accepts 2 compensation signals — one for each attached SIGINT system. These compensation signals may be routed out one of two or three ports to a distribution power divider selected for particular frequency bands. The CAS-5200 has been optimized for use in the CAS-5000 system; however, the unit may be tailored for use with other systems fairly easily.

MILAN (Reuters) - The European single currency will remain at risk if Europe is not able press ahead with closer political and economic union, the governor of the Bank of Italy said in an interview published on Sunday.
Ignazio Visco told the Il Messaggero newspaper that a breakup of Europe's monetary union was a concrete threat back in 2011.
"Today it is a danger that in large part has been answered but the risk has not disappeared. Everything would be easier with more union," said Visco, who is member of the European Central Bank's governing council.
He said Europe's plans for banking union would be incomplete without greater budgetary integration among member states.
Asked about Italian banks, Visco said they still faced problems with non-performing loans which, stripping out writedowns already booked, totalled around 75 billion euros (62.3 billion pounds) and continued to absorb a large part of profits.
"If this were to continue... this condition of low profitability would end up weighing on the capital requirement situation and the market's evaluation of their ability to cope with possible macroeconomic risks...," he said.
Visco said the Bank of Italy's rigorous approach to regulation would continue. "The situation is certainly difficult but also thanks to these interventions Italy's banks, overall, will not find themselves unprepared for the tests scheduled in 2014."
A series of health checks on European banks is scheduled for next year ahead of a banking union that would put the European Central Bank in charge of policing lenders from late next year.
Visco said economic indicators in Italy pointed to a bottoming-out of the crisis. "Recovery, albeit timidly, has started to show itself," he said. But he added it was still difficult to make predictions on job creation.

After nearly a year out of work I took a job near my house at the end of december driving a wheelchair van for an ambulance company. At this station we have 10 ambulances and 4 wheelchair vans. No special skills or training needed to drive the vans, just a clean driving record. Of course the dispatchers and ambulance EMT guys look down on the van drivers. Well, Monday I accepted the position of Station Manager. The owner asked me in the driver interview if I'd be interested in a management position down the road but I had no idea they needed a station manager until after being hired. There are of course a couple of guys unhappy about a non EMT being hired as Station Manager, but they don't know that I have 25 years experience as a manager at this point. I've been working the 330 am to noon shift so I haven't really gotten to know many people yet, but that's about to change. Anyway, I'm psyched to get started on Monday after they find someone to take my shift.
No announcement yet.
I'm pretty darned blessed.

Congratulations. Once people see your abilities things will settle down quickly.
Good on ya, Lonnie.LeftyTom
It is not what you play, but THAT you play.
Well it's been an exciting few days. Started the new position Tuesday, had to fire a young lady yesterday, and will probably be firing a guy tomorrow. They both went out of their way to earn it so I don't feel too bad but still. So short handed today that the CEO and I are both out on vehicles because others didn't want to pick up shifts. I better not hear complaints about not getting hours........ At least I was introduced Tuesday night at a staff meeting and that was positive. My youngest daughter has her state rhythmic gymnastics competition this weekend so there's that to look forward to. She's the current state champion in her level.

Legal Question in Family Law in Louisiana
Child Support
The papers I received from my wife's attorney states: ''The defendant has substanial income and assets, all of which makes him capable of paying unto your petitioner the amount specified in LSA-R.S. 9:315 et seq.'' My question is what does LSA-R.S. 9:315 et seq. mean?
Thanks Chris
2 Answers from Attorneys
Re: Child Support
R.S. 9:315 is the first section of the Louisiana child support statutes. "et. seq." means those sections following the one mentioned. This is because Lawyers & judges, including myself, don't always write in plain English.
It is being said that you can pay child support as set under state law.
Re: Child Support
La. R.S. 9:315 is the part of the Louisiana Revised Statutes that contains the guidelines table from which child support obligations are calculated based on the income of each party. You can Google "La. R.S. 9:315" or "La. child support guidelines" and you should find the table.

Health Assessment Document for Vinylidene Chloride (Final Report, 1983)

Vinylidene chloride is a highly reactive, flammable, clear colorless liquid. In the absence of chemical inhibitors, it can produce violently explosive, complex peroxides. The estimated, ambient air level of vinylidene chloride in urban-suburban areas of the United States is 20 micrograms/cu m. The median concentration (14 micrograms/cu m) for ambient air at point sources of emission is substantially higher. Following oral or inhalation exposure, mammals readily absorb vinylidene chloride. Metabolites of vinylidene chloride, formed in the liver, produce toxic lesions in the liver and kidneys (the target organs), with inhibitors of metabolism providing protection from vinylidene chloride toxicity. The acute hepatotoxicity of vinylidene chloride is greater than that of any other chloroethylene. Based on the overall evidence, VDC would be a Group 3 chemical according to the IARC (International Agency for Research in Cancer's) approach, and by definition, a Group 3 chemical cannot be classified according to its carcinogenicity to humans. However, the mutagenic activity of VDC, its chemical structure, its activity as a tumor initiator in mouse skin, and the ability of its metabolites to react with DNA raise concern that the total body of evidence should not be lightly dismissed.

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for Guiding Light Mission, Inc., Grand Rapids, MI, USA
Guiding Light Mission is an excellent organization. I've been a Board Member, Volunteer (primarily as a Mentor) and a donor over the years. All of the programs are Christ centered and are designed to help the men get re-engaged back in to their families/work/community. People are fed, have a place to stay overnight, and the Addiction Recovery Program is where the men have the most life changing experience.
Alumni come back to help.
More Feedback
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
The graduation rates. The men who have come back to say "Thanks". Seeing hearts melt and mend. Lifestyles change.
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
Ask for more community involvement from local Pschologists and mental health therapists. These men hurt deeply and need help moving-on / healing from their pasts. Most of the men come from broken families; abusive parents; non-existant or distant parents; addiction abuse by parents and family members etc. It takes a community.

Need advice
Well,a lot has happened in our family this year. We moved,are expecting our 2nd child in April and our homeschooling has not been what I thought it would be. With this baby,I have not really been sick much ,just very tired and worn out and not really much motivation or energy. We have a 7 yo daughter and she is an excellent reader. She is on a 3rd grade level in almost everything . My mom (who homeschooled my siblings and I for 12+ years, plus, still homeschools our 11 y/o sister) suggested just taking a "maternity break" and having her read a lot and playing games with her and giving her one learning thing a day to do. Is this good advice,or should I be doing more? I feel like I have neglected her education during all the stress of finding out we are expecting,packing,moving,and everything in between.What are your thoughts on this?Thank you all!
if she is reading alot & you do {at least} one learning thing a day i think she will be fine that is the beauty of home school...she is still at an age where she is constantly learning new things on her own anyway...don't feel bad about needing a break we all do at times...it is better you be rested than stressed out :) i hope i helped at least a little bit :)

After 7 years of dedication and focus, Wyshmaster is finally cutting himself a new niche in the hip-hop and R&B worlds for his ferociously unique beats; and Cakewalk is at the forefront of his game. Most recently, Wysh has been busy creating music for The Lonely Island -"I'm on a Boat" feat. T-Pain (as heard on Saturday Night Live), Jeremy Greene – "Rain" feat. Bossman, and Nelly – "U Ain't Him" feat. Rick Ross on the Brass Knuckles album.
"I primarily use Cakewalk synths because they give me the power to create unique sounds. With so many people in the game now, you have to choose your tools wisely so you don't sound like every other cat. That's what Cakewalk and SONAR do for me, they allow me to create and sound how I want to sound." – Wyshmaster

The Rose & Crown, Wolverhampton
Our undercover meal reviewer The Insider fears he may have has his cover blown as he enjoys a sizzling meal which proves to be great value too.
Our undercover meal reviewer The Insider fears he may have has his cover blown as he enjoys a sizzling meal which proves to be great value too.
I'm sort of the Express & Star's equivalent of the Stig off Top Gear. An international man of mystery, whose identity is the subject of endless speculation, but guarded so closely that all attempts of unveiling me have proved futile.
At least that was the case. But you may well be aware that The Stig recently chose to reveal his identity as former Formula Three driver Ben Collins in a bid to boost the sales of his autobiography, and I'm wondering whether I should do the same. What do you think?
All right, you've twisted my arm. I'm really Katie Price in drag. And my memoirs, Jordan: My Love For Peter, are on sale for £1.99 at a discount store in the Mander Centre.
Actually, if I'm to be completely honest with you, there is only one part of the above statement that is strictly accurate. And I'll leave it to you to find out which.
But the reason I ask this question is there was a brief moment during my visit to the Rose & Crown when I feared my cover might be blown. As we hunted down a table at the back of this busy large pub, one customer in particular caught my eye. Not that there was anything particularly out of the ordinary about him, just another punter with a friend, probably relaxing after a hard day's work.
But it was his line of work that intrigued me. Unless I was very much mistaken, he was the owner of another pub restaurant which has featured on this page in the past. And as I walked past, he looked up, and flashed a knowing smile, as if to say "I've spotted you – you're The Insider". Had I been sussed? I know not. But if he did recognise me, he thankfully chose not to expose me to the glare of publicity.
Parking was a bit tricky on the Friday night we visited. There are around 30 spaces in the car park, but every one had been taken when we arrived. One customer gave up waiting for another to leave, and parked her car in nearby Church Hill, but patience paid off for me and I managed to nab a space.
The grounds are very nicely landscaped, and there is a large patio area to the front, but I do wonder whether a few extra parking spaces would be more useful. On the plus side, there are two disabled bays right at the entrance, and wheelchair access is very good.
It was almost as packed inside the pub, although on this cold, autumnal night, the table next to the wide-open door remained stubbornly empty. A group of around five people vacated a circular table towards the back of the pub, but unfortunately they had left it needing a bit of a clean, so when the table next to it became free, we decided to move.
All of life is here, the mature couple having a quiet meal; the, er shall we say exuberant, young ladies having a lively girls' night out; the thirty-something lads playing cards around a table. The only thing I would say is the crowds tended towards the younger end of the age spectrum, I would say predominantly in their 20s or 30s.
The Rose & Crown is part of the Sizzling Pub Co chain, and this was my first experience of the brand which focuses on the value end of the market. The decor is similar to that of its sister chain, Ember Inns, with a simple, bright, modern atmosphere. A stylish, circular mirror hangs above the large bench seat in the back corner of the pub, although the wallpaper is perhaps a little too vibrant for some tastes.
The menu is huge, and the prices tiny, although its busy layout, divided into several sub-sections, was a little confusing. The pub appears to take its name from the steaks, which could be heard sizzling on other diners' tables, and with an 8oz rump for £4.99, a sirloin for £6.49, or a whopping 16-ouncer for just £8.19, it's not hard to see why they're popular.
I fancied something a little different, though and asked for the sausage and mash, a bargain at £4.39. Sadly, it seemed other people had similar ideas, and it had sold out, so in its place, I went for the Timothy Taylor and beef pie. According to the menu, it is described as "a real winter warmer", which seemed quite fitting given the foul weather outside.
Drinks wise, there is a choice of Banks's or Worthington's bitter, but no mild, plus the usual big brand lagers and Guinness. There is a reasonably varied wine list, complete with tasting notes, on the wall, and they are as aggressively priced as the food – Valloro red or white is just £1.89 a glass (175ml), or £6.49 a bottle.
I was told there would be a 40-minute wait when the food was ordered, so I was slightly surprised that it came in little more than half of that time.
In all honesty, I wasn't expecting too much, and I was quite surprised by both the quality and the size of the portions. The pie came with a shortcrust coating, which is a pleasant change from the ubiquitous puff pastry. The pastry was very thick, which is a good thing, but a little on the hard side, which is less so, but overall it is recommended. There was plenty of pleasant, tender soft meat in the hot ale gravy, and there were ample helpings of chips, although it is a shame they were machine rather than hand-cut.
My dining partner had gone for the small fish and chips, which still proved to be plenty large enough, and amazing value for £2.99. She remarked that it was as good as at some places that charge three or more times as much, so there's no faulting the value.
Now I'm afraid I've got a little confession to make, and I'm going to be letting you down a little. For only the second time since I started this column exactly two-and-a-half years ago, I was unable to manage a dessert. Disappointing, because I really fancied the sound of the chocolate fudge cake mountain, but by the end of our voluminous main courses, neither of us could either manage so much as a chocolate fudge molehill.
With coffees and drinks, the total bill came to just £17.30, and it is hard to see how you could have managed it all for much less had you bought ready meals at the supermarket. Sizzling value.

I'm new to javascript and I'm trying to think of how to do this. Basically I want to click a sequence of buttons to unlock a door.
So upon entering the right combination it would set a boolean to true, allowing the player to enter the next area. I've seen some other ways to do a door key code, with using textfields and a variable "stringToEdit" but it doesn't really suit how my game plays.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm just writing the algorithm. You should convert this to javascript.
Pass = "3462"
CorrectCount = 0
Succeed = false
Key = Get pressed key
if Key = Pass[CorrectCount] CorrectCount
else CorrectCount=0
if CorrectCount=Pass.Length{
break loop
Were you able to test this ?
Sorry, my PSU blew and I've not been able to get to a computer until now. I'm unsure how to go about converting this to java
I'm sorry to say that but if you can't convert a simple algorithm into your programming language, you shouldn't be developing a game. You should be practicing your programming skills first. Please don't take me wrong. I'm just suggesting for your good.
Yeah, I get you. Just trying to learn as I go I guess. Since I generally just make the environments, not aiming to be a programmer really. Just need some basics to make a small interactive environment.
hmm I see. You are right.

Vegetables find good neighbors in the vegetable garden
DALTON — The Gurley-Dalton Garden Club met at the Dalton Fire Hall for their April meeting. Hostess was Lenore Winkelman.
Lenore and her husband Harold (Wink), gave each attending member a flower bulb to plant. The mystery gift was won by Sharon Cape.
A comprehensive lesson was given by Ardis Smith about companion planting in a vegetable garden; i.e., which vegetables (growing side by side) make good neighbors with each other.
Plant corn, beans, and squash in one hill. Planting these Three Sisters together would consist of corn with pole beans. The corn provides a trellis for the bean.
Plant a squash or pumpkin at the base of the corn to act as mulch to keep moisture available for the corn.
Beans like peas, radishes and cucumbers.
Cucumbers don't mind shade. It is wise to plant radish seed with the cucumbers to protect against the Cucumber Beetle. Raccoons like cucumbers. Voles like squash and cucumbers.
Onions like tomatoes and all from the cabbage family. Plant onions throughout the garden.
Eggplant is a lure to the Colorado Beetle.
A safe way to kill the Colo. Beetle is by putting cooking oil with a little water in a shallow dish and sitting it around the eggplant.
Plant dill and marigold near tomatoes. You can plant tomatoes in the same spot every year.
Carrots like lime. They don't like cabbage, dill or tomatoes.
Plant anything in the cabbage family with onions to get rid of rabbits. Rabbits will also shun blood meal.
Ardis also gave the hint of boiling rhubarb leaves in water and spray among roses to combat green fly and black spot. Remember that rhubarb leaves are poisonous.
Cindy Phillips gave a mini lesson on building blocks of a better vegetable garden by growing the vegetables on a trellis. This will increase the yield per square foot, while making it easier to monitor and control pests.
Bamboo teepees are sturdy and available in gardening markets, also mentioning the Three Sister planting of corn, beans and pumpkin.
Janet Waite gave the National Gardener Report. Arbor Day will be celebrated the last Friday of April.
It's time to decide on what kind of tree and where to plant it. She also reported on the Blue Star Memorial.
The Nations Garden Clubs are responsible for organizing these gardens in 1944 to honor WWII veterans. It has now expanded to honor all Armed Forces.
Dress Down Day Money was received from the Cheyenne County Ladies Chamber. These monies will be deposited in the Garden Club's account for use in the Gurley and the Dalton community flower gardens.
The clean up day for the community's two flower gardens has been tabled until next month.
They also finished up things they are responsible for at the State meeting which is being held in Kimball the end of this month.
Decisions were made on the napkin fabric, and the centerpieces were made.
Favors for the banquet had been made at the March workshop.
All these items will be used at the Life Member banquet being held on Friday the 29th.
They also gathered door prizes and put together two baskets that will be auctioned off at the meeting.
Driftwood to be used for flower arranging competitions was available for those who are participating.
Several members registered for the flower arranging contest.
The next meeting will be held on May 3, the hostess is Ardis Smith.

Photo caption: Cynthia Vargas will be among the English teachers to test out the new pilot program starting Monday, using laptops and learning software at more than 100 schools across Costa Rica. (Alex Leff/GlobalPost)
SAN JOSE, Costa Rica — The melody sounded familiar, but not the lyrics. Entirely unconcerned about accuracy, a Costa Rican taxi driver was serenading his passenger with what he sensed could be the words — or at least sounds — to Elton John's "Sacrifice."
It could happen anywhere. Riddled with tricky phrasal verbs, unusual pronunciation, long lists of exceptions to rules and grammar even its native speakers struggle to grasp, English is one loopy language for foreigners to get their tongues around. Unlucky for many, it's the world's lingua franca.
Costa Rica is embracing the language challenge — digitally. Next week, when hundreds of seventh graders take their seats in English class, they will sit in front of a computer. A new pilot plan is lifting off, equipped with laptops, desktops and cutting-edge language software.
But the technology is not just geared toward pupils. A 2008 government-commissioned survey found that only about 62 percent of Costa Rica's English teachers possessed the level necessary. Some 1,200 of the more than 3,000 English teachers scored at under-intermediate levels — only 13 percent got advanced grades — in a standardized exam.
Studies at that time also showed that just over one in 10 high school students had achieved an intermediate level or higher. While better than nothing, that speaks somewhat poorly of the instruction Tico youngsters have received in a school curriculum that in the mid-1990s began teaching English all the way from an early, primary school age.
Called the "Improving the Quality of the Teaching of English as a Foreign Language," the pilot scheme is part of a nationwide initiative to bring the country's educators and learners up to par.
President Oscar Arias in March 2008 launched Costa Rica Multilingue, a program meant to fill English-language holes on multiple fronts. Since the program's inception, two-thirds of the nation's English teachers have undergone training, according to program director Marta Blanco. For the students, the program aims for 100 percent of high school graduates to have reached an intermediate level or higher by 2017.
The pilot scheme, a pioneer in the region, is hoping to turn Multilingue ("multilingual") up a notch. Funding for the equipment came from the Inter-American Development Bank, the Central American Economic Integration Bank, the CRUSA Foundation, local institutions and computer chip giant Intel. The plan is to test out a number of software programs — including globally recognized programs Imagine Learning, Dyned, Edusoft and Tell Me More as well as locally designed Cyberl@b — to see which one is the right fit for Costa Ricans.
Cynthia Vargas teaches about 350 seventh graders (ages 12 to 14) at the Liceo Julio Fonseca school in the northwestern San Jose district of La Uruca. She could use the extra help of a computer, she said.
"We don't even have a CD player," Vargas said, seated behind her desk after a long school day. Her fill-in-the-blanks vocabulary exercises were still up on the whiteboard. With the new program, she expects to spend less time at the board and more time as a facilitator for dynamic group exercises and multimedia activities. There'll also be "fewer photocopies, paid for by the teacher because there's no budget."
She acknowledged that the level of some of the country's English teachers is sub-par, as teachers become "rusty" after university and go long periods without practicing with fluent speakers. She complained that, until now, the teaching model has relied too heavily on writing and textbooks. The programs will allow students to use multimedia programs to hear native English speakers.
"The Multilingue project model aims to give us a way for the teacher to interact more with the students, so it's not just a class where they write, but talk and talk and talk — and listen," Vargas added.
Blanco, the program director, said Costa Rica's teaching level suffered when it tacked on English classes in the 1990s.
"The science teacher who knew a little bit of English, for example, applied and got the job — because we needed it. It was a price that the country paid at the time," she said.
The program will include packed full inner-city schools all the way to one-room schoolhouses in the countryside. "Our one requirement was they had to have electricity," said Blanco, adding that one school in an indigenous village needed a couple of extra solar panels to keep the computers on.
Behind the push for English is the understanding that English-speaking visitors and investors are a driving force in Costa Rica's economy. In trade, although China is gaining on it, the U.S. is Costa Rica's chief importer. And no nationality comes close to the number of Americans who holiday or retire here. Furthermore, as Costa Ricans move from garment and other factory work to becoming a prime outsourcing destination, Blanco said, knowledge of English is increasingly a must on any resume.
The Multilingue organization is hopeful the next government, taking office in May, will take on the technology plan and make it a nationwide initiative.
When asked about other languages, Blanco didn't rule out the possibility of plugging them into the high-tech curriculum. However, she said, "right now the priority for Costa Rica is definitely English and we have to make sure that works."

The Hope Diamond is probably the most famous jewel rumored to be cursed. The 45.52 carat gem has had a succession of owners dating back to the 17th century, and as noted in an article in the Jan. 29, 1911, edition of The New York Times, many of them suffered an untimely demise.
The owners included Prince Ivan Kanitovski, who was killed by Russian revolutionaries; Simon Mencharides, who died with his wife and child in a car accident; and French diamond merchant Jean Baptiste Tavernier, who was "torn to pieces by wild dogs in Constantinople," the Times said.
The article was prompted by the purchase of the diamond by Edward "Ned" McLean for more than $300,000 ($7.4 million today). It was donated to the Smithsonian Institution in the late 1950s.

Before Kanye West declared he was a God, there was another hip-hop figure that claimed he was a holy figure. Lil B emerged from the trenches of the Internet as "Lil B The Based God;" a title that would go on to spawn countless memes and legions of Twitter followers. So when Lil B sat down to speak with MTV Desi, it was only natural to want to know Lil B's thoughts on Kanye's assertion that he was also a God.
"The difference is that Kanye says 'I am a God' and I say 'I am God.' I have a mixtape that says I am God. That's the difference right there; you get straight to the point with me. There's no beating around the bush," he answered. Well, there ya go.
Lil B also spoke on dating, of which he says, "I haven't had intercourse with a woman in so long. Like a year." He then touched on what he has coming up stating he's working on his first rock album. "It'll become an indie rock classic for sure. It's just amazing." We can only imagine.

Tessera files patent suit against Infineon, Micron
Post a comment
MANHASSET, N.Y. Tessera Technologies Inc. said Tuesday (March 1) it has filed a patent infringement suit against Infineon Technologies AG and Micron Technology Inc., charging the companies infringed upon Tessera's IP for packages used to house memory and other semiconductor devices.
The suit, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, revolves around packages used for dynamic random access memory (DRAM) devices, confirmed Doug Norby, senior vice president and chief financial officer for Tessera.
Tessera (San Jose, Calif.) had last November settled a patent suit with Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd. of Korea involving multi-chip packages. Tessera licenses its packaging IP to major semiconductor suppliers.
In the past, Tessera has also tangled with Texas Instruments Inc.(Dallas, Tx.) and Sharp Electronics Corp. of Japan in packaging IP disputes.

Washington Post Staff Writer

Starting right tackle Jon Jansen also is the second center on the Washington Redskins' depth chart, offensive line coach Joe Bugel said, with the veteran acclimating well to taking snaps in practices after playing on the exterior of the line his entire NFL career.
Jansen and Bugel discussed the situation, and given the team's depth at tackle and the lack of a proven backup to center Casey Rabach, the coach has worked Jansen into the rotation during this week's organized team activity sessions.
Jansen, whose large frame might cause issues in the interior of the line, is working on snapping the ball, something he did occasionally at the University of Michigan. The Redskins opted not to draft a backup guard in the draft, but did take one offensive lineman to bolster the aging group, selecting tackle Chad Rinehart in the third round. After selecting Rinehart, Coach Jim Zorn and vice president of football operations Vinny Cerrato said he likely would work on snapping the ball with the Redskins, but Bugel said that Rinehart is stationed at guard for now and is not in the plans at center.
"Jon has been a backup center in college and we have him working at backup center," Bugel said. "We always want to get the five best guys on the field, so if Rabach got hurt who do you plug in? Right now I'd have to say Jon Jansen."
The Redskins have Stephon Heyer and Todd Wade at tackle and they could spell Jansen should he need to replace Rabach. Center has been a thin spot on the roster and the Redskins could also sign an experienced center before the start of training camp next month.A Bit Sluggish
The Redskins' transition to a new offense was obvious during the team portion of practice yesterday, with procedural issues and offside penalties bogging down the unit. Zorn knows that such hiccups are to be expected this time of year, but he has trouble stomaching them.
"Every snap counts," Zorn said, "and we can't concentrate for them. We can't line them up. They have to come out of the huddle knowing where they are and knowing where that snap count is."Zero Contact
Rookie Colt Brennan, rehabbing from hip surgery and hopeful of winning the job as the third quarterback, is taking part in some seven-on-seven drills but cannot yet face contact situations. Zorn said he has been "encouraged" by Brennan's progress and Brennan said he believed he will be 100 percent in four weeks, before the expected start of camp July 20. . . . Cornerback Shawn Springs was absent from the third straight practice, with Zorn joking that the Redskins had issued an "APB" on him. Zorn's attempts to reach Springs, who has been working out on his own in Arizona, have been unsuccessful.

Mentally ill 'denied crisis care'
More than a third of severely mentally ill people have been turned away by health workers when they have sought help, according to a survey.
The National Schizophrenia Fellowship (NSF) says patients claim to have been refused treatment by GPs, hospital casualty departments and mental health services.
It says some patients are being told to come back when "something happens".
Sixty-five per cent of respondents were diagnosed schizophrenics.
In one case a patient's mental state had deteriorated so badly after failing to be voluntarily admitted that eventually he had to be forcibly taken to hospital by police, who used CS gas to subdue him.
Guy Carlisle went to a hospital A&E department suffering from depression and sleeplessness.
After an eight hour wait he was turned away. This lead to a complete breakdown.
"You can see a broken leg, or a cut eye, but you cannot see depression," he said.
Mental Health Act
The survey was published as the NSF launched its "Better Act Now" campaign to promote improvements in the Mental Health Act 1983.
On Thursday, the committee reviewing the Act issued its draft recommendations.
These include advanced directives and orders to ensure community care patients take their medication or risk being admitted to hospital.
Seven out of 10 patients in the NSF survey backed advanced directives and 58% supported compulsory treatment.
However, a third said compulsion would stop people seeking help and 26% felt it would increase prescribing of older drugs which had harmful side effects.
This is because the drugs can be injected and last for up to a month.
Newer drugs with fewer side effects need to be taken daily by mouth.
More than two thirds of those surveyed said the biggest improvement to the Act would be a legal right to adequate care and treatment.
The NSF wants the Act to provide a legal right to a second opinion on mental healthcare, advanced directives with legal force and a "strong inspectorate" to monitor care.
It says compulsion should only be a last resort.
Cliff Prior, chief executive of the NSF, said: "The clear demand from people at the sharp end of this Cinderella service is for a legal right to care and treatment."
Michael Howlett, director of the Zito Trust charity, backed the NSF's campaign for legal rights to standards of care and treatment.
The trust was set up after the killing of Jonathan Zito by a community care patient in 1992.
Another charity Sane said 41% of callers were not satisfied with services and frequently commented that GPs and psychiatrists were unsympathetic and, at times, dismissive.
Forty-six per cent said there were not enough services available locally.
And 23% said services were not available when they needed them, particularly out of hours and at weekends.
Chief executive Majorie Wallace said: "This review [of the Mental Health Act] must tackle these needs and provide a new beginning for everyone affected by mental illness."
Mental health workers claim part of the problem is caused by staffing and acute bed shortages, combined with years of underresourcing of mental health.
A survey by the Sainsbury Centre for Mental Health found that more than 70% of trusts report problems recruiting specialist doctors and nurses.
The government has pledged �700m for mental health, which will cover more emergency care, beds and outreach teams.
It says new national guidelines on standards for mental health care are being drawn up.

Well, I made the mistake of watching one of the skimpy extras for this documentary before starting my review, and as usual, it altered my perceptions. I won't reveal exactly why this is so, except to say that what I thought was a fine behind-the-scenes documentary about modeling is in reality a very fine and revealing documentary about modeling. Movies about modeling and fashion are nothing new, in fact with reality shows like America's Next Top Model and others littering the airwaves, these things seem somewhat old hat. Credit filmmakers Ole Schell and Sara Ziff, then, with making yesterday's news breathe with vitality and interest.
OK, I will reveal the big secret, which is that aspiring filmmaker Schell and potential superstar model Ziff had simply begun chronicling Ziff's chaotic life in the name of making home movies. Sure, Ziff had, and has, a life worthy of documenting, what with all the runway shows in Europe, and having competing billboards featuring her image several stories-tall in Manhattan. But it was only later, after reviewing years of candid footage, that they apparently decided that they had enough stuff to form the foundation of a good movie. This act of making something compelling out of something supposedly aimless and personal reveals real filmaking talent. So, after realizing a movie could be made, interviews with designers, photographers, and Ziff's model friends, (plus footage gleaned from cameras loaned out to said friends) were edited together to make a harrowing, unglamorous, and thoroughly entertaining look at the realities of modeling.
Again, much of this stuff won't really come as a surprise to anyone with above-average pop culture awareness - except maybe for raising serious concerns about certain unnamed photographers and their Polanski-like proclivities for the underage sexual assault of their unwilling teenage subjects - but it is nonetheless a sobering, and ultimately hopeful look at the industry. It doesn't hurt that Ziff especially, and her compatriots, are truly gorgeous. So, as Sara ages gracefully before our eyes - from 18 to her mid-20s - we visit her surreal life, and the lives of her friends. Witness Sara and her occasionally puppy-dog-like beau Schell (always behind the camera, sometimes meekly commenting) as they marvel at $100,000 dollar checks, and deal with the difficulties of a high-earning girlfriend and her virtually dependent boyfriend.
Sara and friends grow as if in life-accelerating bell jars, one 16-year-old Russian model marvels that she feels a lot older than 16, as if that's a good thing. All the expected topics are broached frankly and sometimes painfully; bulimia, cocaine use, and most troublingly the reality that these girls and women are no more than clothes hangers to be manipulated and discarded. What makes this documentary work so well is not only its true behind-the-scenes access, (some of which was apparently gleaned by subterfuge under the guise of faux-naiveté) but also Ziff's sincere vulnerability, thoughtfulness and candor. The bravery with which she and Schell lay out their realities is refreshing and real. You feel especially as if you've become friends with Ziff, and really begin to pull for her to find her true path, and for models in general to realize that, as Ziff says, there's far more empowerment behind the camera than in front of it. Again, it doesn't hurt that Ziff's a knockout, and that her life holds undeniable fascination.
Even without interest in the world of modeling, most will find this documentary so well put together and smartly edited that it can't help but engage as a human drama. Considering Picture Me is a documentary about a somewhat worn subject culled in part from home movies, it's a pleasant surprise that with frank realism and unprecedented access to the modeling world, it becomes a remarkable achievement of reportage, with broad, winning appeal.

When it comes to cloud, sometimes the pitch seems a little too good to be true—save money, move capex to opex, increase productivity, ease management troubles, etc. Sometimes it feels as though the promises fall just short of, "It'll make your coffee in the morning."
Cloud, of course, can do all that—and more (okay, except make my coffee; there needs to be an app for that). According to a recent Symantec (NASDAQ: SYMC) survey, though, poor planning can negate many of the cost benefits of cloud computing and unveil a few hidden costs. The "Avoiding the Hidden Costs of Cloud 2013 Survey" found that hidden costs sometimes trip up SMBs, but Symantec is trying to be helpful by providing tips for side-stepping any potential pitfalls.
One of the largest issues is one that those in the know have been aware of for some time: Rogue cloud implementations are wreaking havoc on IT departments and shooting costs into near-earth orbit. Unfortunately, it's incredibly common, with 77 percent of businesses having found rogue cloud deployments in their organization in the last year. It's more common within enterprises (80 percent) than SMBs (70 percent), but it's a huge problem affecting companies of all sizes.
It's incredibly easy for end users or individual departments to go around IT bureaucracy by using a credit card to subscribe to cloud services, putting corporate data at risk because they're using unvetted cloud services. Additionally, IT ends up completely unable to manage the cloud resources. Of the organizations that reported rogue cloud issues, 40 percent experienced the exposure of confidential information, and more than a quarter faced account-takeover issues, defacing of web properties or stolen goods or services.
Rogue may be one of the most common problems leading to hidden cloud costs, but the survey also turned up a few other interesting data points, including:
- 43 percent of organizations have lost cloud data, and 68 percent have experienced data recovery failures.
- Cloud storage utilization is surprisingly low, at 17 percent. About half of organizations also admitted their data is not deduplicated, putting their companies at further risk. Either way, cloud storage is being used inefficiently.
- 49 percent of organizations are concerned about meeting compliance requirements in the cloud, and 53 percent are concerned about being able to prove they have met cloud compliance requirements. It's a good concern to have, as 23 percent of organizations have been fined for cloud privacy violations.
- Security of data in transit is also a significant problem, as organizations admitted it's a highly complex issue. Only 27 percent rate cloud SSL certificate management as easy. Only 40 percent are certain their cloud partner's certificates are in compliance with corporate standards. Those numbers are far too low.
Despite concerns and plenty of potential problems, it's not a hopeless situation. Symantec offered some advice to businesses that should help them avoid hidden costs associated with cloud:
- Focus policies on information and people, not technologies or platforms.
- Educate, monitor and enforce policies.
- Embrace tools that are platform-agnostic.
- Deduplicate data in the cloud.
"By taking control of cloud deployments, companies can seize advantage of the flexibility and cost savings associated with the cloud, while minimizing the data control and security risks linked with rogue cloud use," said Francis deSouza, group president of Enterprise Products and Services at Symantec, in a prepared statement.

The Comic Speculator is a blog written by WorthPoint Comic Book "Worthologist" Matt Baum that takes a look at each week's hot new comics and back issues and the comic market place in general. Prices discussed here are taken from the Overstreet Guide to Comics (OVST), Comicspriceguide.com (CPG) and current online auction sales. Sales numbers and rankings are courtesy of ICV2.com. The codes under the prices of new titles discussed are Diamond Comics order codes that can be used to help your local comic retailer in ordering the issues discussed.
Below you will find all the info you could possibly need on the comics shipping this Wednesday June 30, 2010. For a full list of comics shipping this week, click here. To find a comic shop near you, click here.
Sell Out News:
In "I Didn't See This One Coming" news, DC announced that Superman Batman Annual #4, which starred Batman Beyond and a futuristic Superman counterpart, has sold out at Diamond. A second printing is scheduled to ship on July 21.
MAY108079 Superman Batman Annual #4 Second Printing
First-printings are selling online for $15 and up and are already becoming tough to find. This is definitely one to watch.
In other DC news; Batman: the Return of Bruce Wayne #1 second printing has sold out at Diamond and is going to a third printing, scheduled to ship on July 21.
MAY108056 Batman: The Return of Bruce Wayne #1 Third Printing
DC is also making the first-printing variant editions available again when ordering 25 and 200 copies of the third printing. Which is confusing. Shouldn't DC be out of the variants if they sold out of the first prints? There still seems to be enough first printings of issue #1 out there to keep the comic selling for cover price online, but unless Diamond loosens their grip on the variant covers, there could be a jump in price coming for the 1:25 covers.
And finally, from DC/Vertigo: American Vampire #2 has sold out and gone to a second printing scheduled to ship on July 21.
MAY108061 American Vampire #2 Second Printing
Again, DC is making the first printing variants available when retailers order 25 of the second printings. There're still plenty of first prints of AmVamp #2 in stores, as this one is selling slower than most retailers had expected.
DC tries to jump on the Marvel X-Men David Finch variant bandwagon this week with a David Finch 1:10 variant of Action Comics #890. Retailers will be asking $8-$10 on this variant, which could be fairly hard to find due to the recent low orders on Action. Especially since Superman still isn't returning to the title.
Also from DC; the hottest variant of the week goes to the J.H. Williams 1:25 variant of Batman Beyond #1. Retailers are asking $20-$25 for this one, knowing that it's going to sell fast. Look for these to hit $40 on eBay in no time. I wasn't even going to pick this series up but, man, that's a cool variant.
DC also continues its 75th anniversary variants this week with a 1:25 variant cover of Wonder Woman #600 by Adam Hughes. And it's very sexy. Hughes updated the cover of Sensation Comics #1, which was the first appearance of Wonder Woman in 1942. Retailers are asking $20-$25 for this variant, which could be pretty difficult to find, considering what could be low ordering on an expensive issue of Wonder Woman.
These are comics that could sell out very quickly due to conservative ordering, popular demand, shipping errors, voodoo curses or any other set of unforeseen events. Pick them up while you can or pay too much for them later . . .
Solicitation: Terry McGinnis—the Batman of the future—and an elderly Bruce Wayne—the original Batman—are the sworn protectors of Neo-Gotham. But when someone targets The Dark Knight's old foes, the new Batman must begin a case that reaches back into Bruce Wayne's past and puts Terry's future directly in danger! Don't miss the long-awaited return of the popular Batman Beyond franchise in this six-issue adventure from Emmy Award-nominated animation writer Adam Beechen (Batman: The Brave and the Bold) and artist Ryan Benjamin (Batman & The Outsiders). And be sure to check out the Superman/Batman Annual #4 from writer Paul Levitz and artist Renato Guedes, starring the Batman Beyond characters!
32 pages
Written by Adam Beechan; art by Ryan Benjamin; cover by Dustin Nguyen.
Why it'll go fast: The first appearance of Terry McGinnis in the regular DCU in the pages of Superman Batman Annual #4 sold out so fast that copies are already selling for $15 and up. This issue is going to disappear even faster. There's just no way retailers saw this one coming. I'm betting DC didn't either or the cover price on this comic would have been $3.99. It wouldn't surprise me to see this issue sold out by Friday. Nerds loved the Batman Beyond animated series and they will be clamoring for this new series.
Solicitation: He is the legendary Lord of the Vampires. Dracula. Who would dare attempt to overthrow him? Only Dracula's son Xarus, a ruthless and clever upstart with the bold ambition to unite all the world's vampire sects under one flag. But Xarus's older brother Janus isn't sure he likes the idea of a new regime and seeks allies to oppose Xarus. The ultimate battle to control Earth's Creatures of the Night unfolds, with the future of the vampire race—and possibly the Marvel Universe—at stake.
48 pages
Written by Victor Gischler; art by Giuseppe Camuncoli; cover by Marko DjurDjevic.
Why it'll go fast: Unless retailers were paying very close attention to their Marvel previews two months ago, they might have missed that this comic was a tie-in to the new X-Men #1, also written by Gischler. Unlike Second Coming, which seems to be printed on every X-cover of late, there seems to be no mention that this comic sets off the war between Mutants and Vampires. Death of Dracula #1 might not sell out right away, but as soon as the new X-Men #1 hits, X-nerds will be looking for this issue and by that time it'll probably be long gone. I'll pick this one up for the art and to see if I need to read a Gischler X-title, but it wouldn't surprise me at all if there aren't any on the shelf by the time I get to my shop.
Solicitation: The Pilot Season winner is Back! Carin Taylor is the fastest woman in the world. At least, she'd better be if she wants to save her own life and the lives of her Cyberforce teammates. When a former Cyberdata scientist—and test subject—seeks revenge against the members of Cyberforce, only Velocity can save her friends before the clock literally runs out. Bringing together writer Ron Marz (Witchblade, Angelus) and artist Kenneth Rocafort (Cyberforce/Hunter-Killer) for the first time. Featuring two covers by Rocafort and Chriscross (Captain Marvel).
32 pages
MAR100452 Cover A by Rocafort
MAR100453 Cover B by Chriscross
Written by Ron Marz; art and cover by Kenneth Rocafort; variant cover by Chrisscross.
Why it'll go fast: I don't know what it is about Velocity, but she proved to be the only member of the '90s Image hit Cyberforce. There was even a guy with knives for fingers named Ripclaw and somehow the skinny fast chick with a lightning bolt tattooed on her white face (also tattooed?) is the only one nerds want to read about. The numbers don't lie, though. Velocity's Pilot Season one-shot was the only one of the group to sell out at the distributor and this issue probably will as well. Like I said, I don't get it.

|Re: Interesting eBay Auctions
Subject: Re: Interesting eBay Auctions
by Jlong on 2012/9/10 8:03:26
I agree Khamul. I'd rather buy something signed, a letter, a LotR set, or a Hobbit for that price. Of course, I've never spent that much on a book and don't plan to anytime soon.
But of course, Tolkien collectors are interested in different stuff. I would personally never throw down thousands for a copy of Songs for the Philologists, but I would probably like to own a first edition of Tolkien's Beowulf essay someday.
The fact of the matter is works like this sell for so much simply because of their scarcity. Small print runs and probably not a lot of copies preserved (I'm guessing; I do not have Hammond at hand).

But, I have been looking for some Shasthradhara with regard to any Nishiddha in continuing performing of Avidhava Navami for a mother, who died Sumangali, even after the death of father. You have opined that after the death of father, mother will no longer be Sumangali. I have a doubt here. During Shradda of mother, we worship/decorate the Pinda with turmeric, Kumkum and flowers and this practice is prevalent in all most all areas. Does it not mean that we continue to treat the mother died Sumangali even after the death of father. Not only that, in my case, my mother, grand mother (Pithamahi) and great grand mother (Prapithamahi) all died as Sumangalis and we decorate the all the three Pindas with turmeric, Kumkum and flowers. Then, how can we presume that mother will no longer be treated as Sumangali for performing of Avidhava Navami after the death of father?

Duann Gaston Retires...
Duann Gaston retires….
After 36 years of service, Gaston retired from the District of Columbia Public Library this January 2010. Gaston began working at the Martin Luther King Jr. Library in 1974, worked a few years in Woodridge, then transferred to the Langston branch where she worked as Desk Supervisor until it closed a few months ago.
Soft-spoken, serene, gracious, and well-grounded, Gaston reached out to help people instinctively. Customers and colleagues alike felt the support Gaston offered by always "being there."
We will miss Gaston here at Francis Gregory, where she came to help us out for her final months. Gaston looks forward to helping her pastor husband, Henry Gaston, and to opening and operating a library for children in her church.
We wish her a joyful and peaceful retirement and hope she continues to grow to her most magnificent self.

The largest study yet to examine the risks of hormone-based birth control has concluded the contraceptives carry a small risk of stroke and heart attack, depending on the method and type of hormone used.
But the risk for individual women remains extremely low, particularly in younger women, a team of Danish researchers reported.
Their findings, published this week in the New England Journal of Medicine, suggest a higher risk of stroke in particular for women using vaginal rings, and possibly hormonal skin patches – though the second finding was based on a smaller group of women and could have been due to chance.
Other factors – such as the belief that a patch or a ring might be safer for women thought to be at risk of stroke – may explain the higher rate of stroke in that group, said James Simon, a women's health researcher at George Washington University in Washington, who was not involved in the study.
Dr. Simon said the findings probably should not change how doctors prescribe birth control, noting that the risks seen in the study pale in comparison with the risks of stroke, heart attack or death faced by women who get pregnant.
"None of the hormonal contraceptives studied were associated with an excess risk of stroke that was unacceptable, considering their contraceptive and non-contraceptive benefits," Diana Petitti of Arizona State University in Tucson wrote in an editorial accompanying the study.
Previous attempts to assess the risk of stroke or heart attack linked with hormonal contraceptives have produced conflicting results.
In the latest study, a team led by Ojvind Lidegaard from Copenhagen University Hospital analyzed the records of 1.7 million Danish women aged 15 to 49 to assess the potential dangers associated with their contraceptive use. None of the women had a history of heart disease or cancer.
They were followed for 15 years beginning in 1995.
Overall, the risk to individual women was small. One in every 4,700 women had a stroke each year and one in every 9,900 suffered a heart attack.
Women taking contraceptive pills with a combination of estrogen and progestin tended to have a higher risk of stroke and heart attack than those not using hormonal contraception.
For some hormone combinations, that difference could have been due to chance, but women using estrogen with norethindrone or desogesterel at certain doses, for example, had double the risk of both complications compared with non-users.
Still, Dr. Simon said the new research "shows very little difference between the different pills for the same dose of estrogen, which will make women's choices larger."
Dr. Lidegaard said in an interview that many women have used patches and rings "believing that these non-oral products could confer less risk. But this is definitely not the case."
He said age is a key factor when considering risks.
"If you are 20 years old and you double your risk of [stroke], then you still have a very low risk because the absolute risk is so low," he said.
"On the other hand, if you are in the other path of reproductive age, especially in the 40s, you should consider not increasing your risk ... further because it's already increased due to your age."
Among all women, once they stopped using hormonal contraception, their risk of strokes and heart attacks dropped to the same level as the risk for women who had never used them.

This was one of the very first recipes that I ever made on my own. Well, I suppose a version of this recipe was one of the first since I use to make this on the stove and now it's been turned into a Slow Cooker recipe. 🙂
Now I didn't really start cooking until after I got married but I started collecting recipes way before that. I may not have been working my tail off in the kitchen back then but I still knew that once I got married that I wanted that perfect housewife job, apron tied around my waist, cooking amazing meals for my family! (Yes, I do plan for the future haha, I started buying stuff for my future house when I was like 15) haha
Beef and Vegetable Soup was one of those recipes that I picked up and stuffed into my recipe binder for the future, but actually ended up making it a few times before I even met BigBear. haha BUT it was pretty much the ONLY thing I ever cooked before we got married.
When I moved out of my parent's house, I moved into this old rock farmhouse with a girl named Sarah that waited tables with me at Rockola. We literally lived in the middle of nowhere (there were only like 3 houses on our road!). With a 45 minutes ride into town, we really didn't make too many trips out and about haha.
But even though we were out in the middle of the country, I was actually pretty close to my Nana's house! I made sure to drop by there a bit, especially when my mom would come up to visit!
During one of my visits, my aunt Sandra made Beef Vegetable soup for dinner and I loved it so much that I had to have the recipe. She wrote it down for me and the next night I was in town, for work, and I made a stop by the store to grab everything that I needed.
I made a HUGE pot of this soup and divided it up into 1 cup servings and froze them. I literally stocked our whole freezer with Beef and Vegetable Soup…it sat perfectly beside the carton of Icee Pops. 😉
Since I've been on a mission to add more slow cooker recipes into my meal rotation I thought that this Beef and Vegetable Soup would be a perfect meal to make in my slow cooker!
I thought this soup was easy to make before but now that I make it in the slow cooker it's 1000 times easier! I literally just dump everything into the slow cooker, turn it on and walk away!
That's my kind of slow cooker meal. I love the slow cooker meals that are "dump and cook". Isn't that the whole purpose of a slow cooker? If I'm going to use a slow cooker I want it to do ALL of the work.
Side note- I did use canned vegetables but you could totally sub those for fresh or frozen!
